Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 201 The new emperor
The young and healthy Tang Bingxuan and her sisters-in-law Xiao and Qiao Waner were entrusted with important responsibilities.

Among the three, the eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Xiao, had some time to walk at the front, while Tang Bingxuan and Qiao Waner walked side by side behind.

"Cousin, the King of Jin planned to kill his direct descendants to seize the throne. My father-in-law did not agree to his request, so he summoned me to the palace and placed me under house arrest.
Mother-in-law couldn't help it, so father-in-law had sent mother-in-law and the children out of Kyoto a long time ago. "

Tang Bingxuan glanced at Qiao Waner and thought, I took the initiative to explain without asking you. Do I believe it or not?

Tang Bingxuan said calmly: "Yes, I understand."

In the past few years, Tang Bingxuan and Qiao Waner occasionally met each other at banquets and only said hello. They usually did not pay attention to each other or make friends;
Because of what happened in the past, the two of them can't just laugh away their grudges and become affectionate cousins. The best thing is to live in peace with each other.

Qiao Waner explained the reason for her appearance without saying anything, and the three of them quickly left the secret room and walked out quietly.

Hearing that there was no sound of fighting outside, the three of them moved cautiously along the wall;

Mrs. Xiao went to check the situation outside, while Tang Bingxuan and Qiao Waner went to find food and a kettle.

A quarter of an hour later, the three of them gathered in the main hall. Without saying anything, they quickly and quietly moved to the secret room.

The dozen or so people in the secret room were all eagerly waiting for the three of them. The three of them closed the door of the secret room and quickly entered with their things in hand.

Tang Bingxuan shared some food with everyone, and Xiao also put some things on the table before starting to talk about the situation outside.

"I saw from a distance that Prince Jin was in charge of the palace. Most of the ladies who entered the palace with us were imprisoned in one place, surrounded by a dozen guards with swords."

That is because the fight just now was a temporary small victory for King Jin, or because the female hostages in his hands temporarily forced the other side's troops back.

A respectable old princess sighed and said, "Let's stay here and hide in peace for the time being."

The secret room was just an empty room with nothing in it. The women like them had to eat, drink and sleep here. It was unbearable to think about it.

Of course, compared to losing one's life, the temporary humiliation is not a big deal. Anyway, the dozens of ladies here were treated like this.

The food that Tang Bingxuan and Qiao Waner brought was only enough to feed a dozen people, so they would have to suffer for a few days.

In order to avoid being indecent, everyone tried not to drink water or drank less water. When a group of people drank a pot of water, there was still half a pot.

Tang Bingxuan specially brought two candlesticks from the Empress Dowager's palace. Otherwise, there would be no light in the secret room, and they would have to go blind in the shabby room where they could not see their fingers.

More than a dozen people were divided into four groups and took turns to keep vigil. If they all fell asleep and turned over the candlesticks, they would be burned to death even if they were not killed by the traitors and traitors outside.

Tang Bingxuan nestled between her mother and mother-in-law, looking as if she was surrounded and protected by the two mothers. Both Mei and Xiao were a little envious, but they didn't say anything sarcastic or jealous.

Qiao Waner also cuddled up to her mother Cai. Speaking of which, her mother Cai might not have entered the palace, but she followed after hearing that she was called into the palace.

Qiao Waner is now a mother of three children, and she feels the care and love for her mother Cai. She feels ashamed when she thinks about the wrong things she has done because of love.

Fortunately, their mother is by their side, and they will definitely persevere until their father, husband and brother arrive! It was already three days later when Tang Bingxuan and a dozen others came out of the secret room again.

Except for drinking some water and eating something on the first day, they did not dare to go out to look for food without permission.

At this time, martial law was enforced everywhere in the palace, and King Jin was imprisoned in a prison for committing murder and rebellion.

Emperor Ling had been presiding over the overall situation in the palace since King Jin forced the palace to imprison hostages. Otherwise, he would not have captured King Jin's faction so quickly.

It turned out that Emperor Ling woke up on the second day of his coma, but he was just a little tired.

Taking advantage of this unexpected incident, we will examine the character and ability of the prince and the king of Jin. In Emperor Ling's heart, Prince Linggan was considered a qualified crown prince, but King Ling Hong of Jin really disappointed him.

Between the two sons of the prince and the prince of Jin, Emperor Ling liked his second son, the prince of Jin, more.

After all, the prince is the next emperor of the Ling Kingdom, and he has high hopes for him, not as a son but as an heir;

The King of Jin has been favored by the Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine and Emperor Ling since he was a child, but he never expected that he would commit regicide and kill his father.

Emperor Ling had already hit his head due to an accidental fall, and then he saw his beloved son murdering him, and he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Taking charge of the overall situation at this time was just a matter of self-support. After King Jin's faction was arrested, Emperor Ling had to stay in bed to recuperate and left the remaining matters to the prince to handle.

This palace incident resulted in the death and injury of more than twenty female relatives of wealthy families. It was relatively small, but it also caused several families to lose their mistresses.

The civil servants and generals in the court who refused to surrender could not bear to be driven by the rebellious minister and traitor King Jin, and committed suicide.

The Queen Mother's condition worsened and she couldn't get up. Concubine Cai was lonely and helpless, took off her hairpin and knelt outside Emperor Ling's palace to plead for King Jin.

However, Emperor Ling's body needed to rest, so Empress Qin ordered Concubine Cai to be imprisoned in her palace to await her fate.

Looking at the current situation, the position of the Crown Prince and Crown Prince is stable and he will ascend to the throne soon.

When Tang Bingxuan followed her mother-in-law and mother out of the palace gate, she saw Duke Rongguo, Marquis Yongning and others waiting outside the palace gate.

They were hungry and tired. Except for choking at first when they saw their relatives, they finally slowly got into the carriage to rest.

The people in the carriage didn't say anything, and then the two groups parted ways halfway, going all the way back to Rongguo Duke's Mansion and all the way back to Yongning Marquis' Mansion.

After Tang Bingxuan took a bath, changed clothes, and had a meal, the couple finally had time to sit down and talk for a few words.

Tang Bingxuan briefly talked about her situation in the palace for a few days. Jiang Shunian touched his beloved wife's chin, which had not been sharpened for a few days, and kissed her cheek distressedly.

"Everything is okay in the house, where are the children?"

When she saw Jiang Shunian outside the palace gate, Tang Bingxuan felt that the children should be safe. Now that they were fed and drunk, she naturally had to ask in person.

Jiang Shunian stroked Tang Bingxuan's temples and said, "Everything is fine. The nanny is taking the children to play together."

"My wife, you have worked hard these days. Go to bed and have a good sleep."

These days were not only scary, but also very torturous even without food or water. Tang Bingxuan went to bed to rest obediently.

An hour later, the Sanfang courtyard became lively.

"Dad, the wet nurse said that mother is back."

Kangkang and An An ran into the yard on their short legs and shouted, followed by their wet nurses and maids.

Jiang Shunian walked out of the inner study, put his index finger on his lips and "shushed" the children, warning them in a low voice: "Mom is tired and sleeping."

The three-year-old and almost four-year-old twins are still a little confused about what adults say, but they also know that they need to give their tired mother a good rest.

Kangkang, An An, and Jiang Shunian put their hands on their lips, and the three of them looked at each other and nodded obediently.
