My life is like walking on thin ice

Chapter 89 Eunuch An dares to bully me?

When I went to Qiu Shang in the woods, nothing seemed to happen, and a lot of things seemed to happen.

But in the eyes of the outside world, there was nothing noteworthy about this autumn hunt.

——On the third day of the autumn hunt, Emperor Qi returned to Chang'an because of the 'unbearable heat'.

The emperor has left, and the autumn hunt has come to an end.

After returning to Chang'an, everything was as before.

The Empress Dowager of the East Palace was still busy making plans, trying to get both the court and the public to accept the shocking decision of the Crown Prince and Crown Prince.

The Tangyi Marquis Mansion was still bustling with people, and countless big shots walked in and out, discussing unknown scandals with Princess Liu of Guantao.

On the other hand, Liang Wang Liu Wu, after returning to Chang'an after his autumn hunting, changed from his previous high-profile style of wandering around the high gates and hosting banquets every day, and instead stayed in isolation in the palace for several days.

When Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but send someone to ask, she gave an excuse of "accidental cold" and immediately entered the palace.

Logically speaking, except for the prince of Emperor Qi, who must be an underage prince, there is absolutely no reason for any adult male with a son to spend the night in the palace.

Especially back then, when the late Emperor ascended the throne from the throne, the sons of Xiaohui, including the young emperor Liu Gong, were all labeled as "descended from the promiscuous harem of Zhu Lu's relatives", this taboo became even deeper. One point.

But Liang Wang Liu Wu is obviously an exception.

From the end of the autumn hunting, returning to Chang'an, to entering the palace four days later - for more than ten days in a row, Liang Wang Liu Wu's chariots were parked outside Sima Gate, but without exception they failed to wait for Liang Wang Liu Wu.

When the news came out, there was another undercurrent inside and outside the court, and the topic of the 'Emperor's Crown Prince' was once again pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

But no one knows: During these ten days, Liang Wang Liu Wu was just doing what a younger brother should do.

——Take care of your sick brother.

He has taken care of his brother who has been seriously ill for many years and will most likely die soon, and treats him like a king and a father.

Talk about going back to the palace.

With the 'outsider' King Liu Wu of Liang around, the concubines and princes in the palace were undoubtedly much more reserved.

The six princes of Xuanming Palace and Guangming Palace each returned to their mother's side, neither leaving nor taking a step forward;

The Phoenix Palace was closed to thank guests as always. Li Ji, Liu Rong, Liu Yu, mother and son habitually closed the door to think about their faults - even the second son of the emperor, Liu De, returned to the Phoenix Palace from Prince Liang's Mansion to stay for a few days.

Only Qilan Palace.

Only the Qilan Palace, where the eldest and the youngest Wang beauties, as well as the tenth son of the emperor Liu She and the eleventh son of the emperor Liu Yue, were staying, welcomed a distinguished guest in the strange silence in the palace.

Most people in the palace also know that the appearance of this distinguished guest named "Tian Fu" in the Qilan Palace often means that the king's beauty Wang Ao has encountered some difficult problems.

But no one knows that compared to the past 'difficulties', the disaster this time for the King's Beauty is definitely not something that Tian Fu, a relative of a merchant, can easily resolve with a single gesture...

·
·
·
"Checked it out."

"It is true that the Li family sent people to Changling to inquire about the whereabouts of Jin Wangsun."

"——The person who went is Li Ji's brother Li Ben."

"Since we have sent such a person, I am afraid that the eldest son of the emperor has found out about my sister..."

Weiyang Palace, Qilan Palace.

Today's King and Beauty obviously no longer cares about maintaining her "gentle, virtuous, and virtuous" persona. She does not pretend to sit on the couch that is one foot long, nearly two feet high, and is placed directly on the side of the couch. In front of the machine.

He sat down restlessly on his feet. Almost as soon as Tian Fu finished speaking, he asked impatiently: "What did you find?!"

Tian Fu slowly shook his head, but the serious look on his face did not relax at all.

"not yet."

"But since you are determined to investigate, it will only be a matter of time before you find something."

"It happens that he is a maternal relative of the eldest son of the emperor. I, the Changlingtian clan, want to stop it, but there is no way to do it..."

The heavy words only made Wang Quan look more anxious, but he was also confused for a moment and didn't know what to do.

Seeing his sister's reaction, Tian Fu couldn't help but panic.

After carefully looking at his sister Wang Quan's face, he tentatively said: "Then Jin Su..."

"What about the eldest son of the emperor...?"

Hearing the surprise in Tian Fu's tone, Wang Quan took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in his heart.

After his emotions calmed down a bit, Fang said solemnly: "Back then, my mother forced me to separate from Jin Wangsun. Jin Wangsun refused, but my mother still took me home and sent me to His Majesty's crown prince's womb."

"I thought that the golden prince, Sun Yijie, a village man, would be wary of me when he found out that I entered the palace."

"——I'm a fool even if I don't want to. In a fit of anger, I actually brought the matter outside the palace."

"Fortunately, I was already pregnant with Yang Xin at that time, so His Majesty suppressed the matter and arranged for the golden grandson to be placed in a safe place."

"And today's eldest son of the emperor and the eldest grandson of the emperor at that time also live in the palace of His Majesty the Crown Prince."

"Jin Wangsun was making a big fuss outside the crown prince's palace. The eldest son of the emperor saw it with his own eyes..."

Hearing this, Tian Fu's eyes rolled around, and his tone became sharper with excitement.

"Isn't that okay?"

"Since Your Majesty has known about this for a long time..."

"——Your Majesty doesn't know the customs of gold!"

Before Tian Fu could say anything, he was interrupted by Wang Quan's irritated shout!

When Tian Fu was stunned and stunned, Wang Quan took a deep breath, stared straight at his younger brother Tian Fu, and said word by word: "Your Majesty has never known about Jin Su's affairs!"

As soon as these words came out, Tian Fu immediately shook his body and slumped down on the couch next to Wang Da.

"How could..."

"Since you know the King and Sun of Jin, how can your Majesty not know the customs of Jin..."

"Then when Jin Wangsun made a big fuss in the palace, he didn't say anything about it?"

Wang Ao shook her head in fear and her lips trembled slightly.

"Never."

"Perhaps he was so angry that he lost his head, or maybe he was frightened by the battle in the Crown Prince's palace - from the beginning to the end, that stupid guy, King and Sun of Jin, never mentioned even half a word about Jin Su."

"When Jin Wangsun made such a fuss, I was so frightened that I immediately felt my fetus, fainted on the bed, and was so anxious all day long that I didn't even care about it."

"Afterwards, Your Majesty extinguished his anger and wanted to talk about Jin Su again, but he had already missed the opportunity..."

···
"I thought that after so many years, Jin Wangsun's affairs would have long been forgotten by people in Chang'an."

"Even if some people remember this, they will take it for granted: Since His Majesty knows about the King and Sun of Jin, he should also know about the customs of Jin?"

"——Not to mention Xiao Jinsu, who had already been sent out of the customs when King Jin and his grandson made a big fuss in the palace!"

"——I know that there is such a person as Jin Su, let alone five fingers!"

"I really can't figure it out: How did the eldest son of the emperor learn about this matter and how did he learn about the existence of Jinsu..."

"Especially since Your Majesty only knows the King and Sun of Jin, but not the customs of Jin - how does the eldest son of the Emperor know so accurately?"

After hearing what Wang Ao said, Tian Fu only nodded his head with a gloomy face, cast his dull eyes not far in front of him, and was silently stunned.

Tian Fu knew that what his sister Wang Quan said was not a lie.

——The mother of the two siblings: Zang'er, was the granddaughter of Zang Tu, King of Yan, a prince with a different surname at the beginning of the Han Dynasty;

However, after Yan King Zang Tu raised his troops to rebel and failed, the Zang family fell into decline and was lost to everyone.

Not to mention continuing to be noble - as long as the bloodline exists in the world, it is still the kindness of Emperor Taizu Gao!
Zang'er was born into a prince's family but lived among the people in the countryside. In the end, Zang'er had to marry a farmer named "Wang Zhong" in Huaili.

Wang Zhong, in the words of later generations, is Wang Er - a farmer who doesn't even have a name. Just because he is the second eldest son in the family, he is named "Zhong" in the order of brother, Zhong, uncle and Ji. .

Farmer Wang Zhong is Wang Quan's biological father.

Later, Wang Zhong was exhausted from the heavy farm work, so Zang'er took Wang Nuan and other children and remarried into the Changlingtian family.

——Everyone gets what he needs.

Through this, Zang'er was able to return to a wealthy family and say goodbye to the poor lower-class life;

The Changlingtian family used this to wash away the stigma of being a "merchant and a lowly family", and now they have a daughter-in-law of princely blood.

Even though the princely blood of this daughter-in-law comes from a prince with a different surname who had already rebelled and been executed, and turned into a handful of loess: the former King Zang Tu of Yan.

Later, Zang Er gave birth to a son with the head of the Tian clan in Changling, named Tian Fu.

This is why the two siblings, Wang Da and Tian Fu, are called sister and brother, but their names are given by different surnames.

Because these two siblings have the same mother and half-father.

As for the affairs of Jin Wangsun and Jin Su's father and daughter, Tian Fu was basically in charge of them back then.

From the coercion and inducement, to the subsequent arrangement of large sums of money, and even the matter of sending Jin Su out of the customs, Tian Fu watched from the beginning to the end.

There is a past story of Jin Wangsun causing trouble in the Crown Prince's uterus. Nowadays, there may not be many people in Chang'an City who know about Jin Wangsun.

But Tian Fu counted on his fingers: the only person who knew about the existence of his niece Jin Su was himself, his sister Wang Nan, and his mother Zang'er;
In addition to the person involved, Jin Wangsun, and Jin Wangsun's only relative: his old mother who had been seriously ill and passed away long ago - it was full of calculations, even the dead were included, but it was only five fingers!
Jin Wangsun's mother died of illness, and the siblings' mother Zang'er also passed away. It was impossible for the siblings to reveal the matter.

Eliminate all wrong answers and what remains...

"Isn't that right?"

"If it was Jin Wangsun who revealed it to the emperor's eldest son, then there should be constant contact between the emperor's eldest son and Jin Wangsun."

"Even if we haven't contacted each other for many years, the emperor's eldest son will never send Li - his mother-in-law Li Ben to Changling to inquire about the whereabouts of King Jin and his grandson one by one on the street?"

But when Wang Ao heard this, she nodded slowly with approval, and after a moment, she shook her head gloomily. "It doesn't matter anymore."

"Since the eldest son of the emperor dares to send people to look for him with great fanfare - especially if he directly sends his uncle, Xiao Jinsu's affairs are most likely known to the eldest son of the emperor."

"At this point, it is meaningless to investigate how the eldest son of the emperor learned about this matter."

"What we should really do is think about what we should do to prevent the eldest son of the emperor from making a fuss about this matter."

"Especially His Majesty..."

Forced himself to calm down, and just about to enter the state of 'calmly solving problems', after only a few words were uttered, the turbulent irritation from before surged into his heart again, causing Wang Quan to fall into the same panic as before. state.

We can’t blame Wang Ao for not having a city or not being stable enough.

It was actually Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, who beat the snake to seven inches - this seven inches was measured with a microscope!
Wang Quan is very clear: Today, there is no so-called first marriage plot, or other aspects of mysophobia.

At least back then, after learning that Wang Quan had been married before entering the palace, and that he had entered the palace before the marriage was officially divorced, the emperor Qi Ye was just furious and didn't pursue it further.

Not only did they not pursue the matter, they even comforted Wang Nuan with gentle words afterwards, and repeatedly stated that Wang Nuan's marriage history would not affect Emperor Qi's friendship for Wang Nuan.

In the past few years, Emperor Qiye proved that what he said was true with the birth of his three daughters and the tenth son of the emperor Liu She.

But if he doesn't mind Wang Da's marriage history, it doesn't mean that Emperor Qi can accept a stepdaughter who has no blood relationship with him, whose existence is still unknown, and who fell from the sky with a clang.

Wang Ao knew very well: The emperor of the Han family could not tolerate any sand in his eyes and would never allow himself to be deceived by anyone.

And today's emperor Qi is particularly outstanding among them...

"The eldest son of the emperor made great efforts to find out the whereabouts of King Jin and his grandson. Jin Su's affairs probably cannot be hidden."

"——It's not so much that the matter can't be hidden, but it's that the customs can't be hidden."

"After all, the eldest son of the emperor has most likely got the news from somewhere."

"The only way is to plead guilty to His Majesty before the eldest son reports..."

For the umpteenth time, he forced himself to calm down and deduce the subsequent development of the whole thing. The more he talked, the more confused Wang Ao's heart became.

It's hard.

Not to mention how likely it is to get Emperor Qi’s understanding by doing this;

Given the current situation alone, it would not be easy for Wang Quan to see Emperor Qi.

——In the imperial palace, concubines and concubines other than the queen are not qualified to take the initiative to see the emperor.

Including Li Ji from the Phoenix Palace is no exception.

Besides waiting for Emperor Qi to visit him or stay overnight, Wang Quan had no other way to see Emperor Qi's face.

Originally there was.

If Liang Wang Liu Wulai hadn't been in the palace, Wang Quan would have had many ways to create 'accidental encounters'.

But right now...

"If not, then Jin Wangsun..."

While he was thinking, the low voice of his younger brother Tian Fu brought Wang Ao's thoughts back to the present moment.

Following the sound, Wang Ao frowned when he saw Tian Fan's cold face and lightly wiping the knife on his neck.

"Your Majesty is not a fool like Jin Wangsun!"

"The emperor's eldest son has just sent someone to investigate, and something happened to Jin Wangsun's side so coincidentally - not to mention your majesty, anyone who is not a dog-brained person like Li Ji will be able to tell that something is wrong!"

"The eldest son of the emperor went to investigate, but it was just Li Ben who was wandering the streets and alleys, grabbing passers-by and asking questions one by one;"

"But if His Majesty sends someone to investigate, it will be like pulling out the carrots and bringing out the mud..."

"——The business our brothers have done over the years is really that clean?"

With just one sentence, Tian Fu immediately gave up his plan to kill and silence him. After thinking about it secretly, he felt that what his sister Wang Quan said made sense.

Liu Rong went to investigate, not so much as 'inquiry', but as an inquiry.

Although it is only a matter of time before the problem is found, it still takes some time.

During this period of time, the two sisters, Wang Quan and Tian Fu, could operate without being caught off guard.

But if Emperor Qi noticed something unusual, it would probably be because the Northern Army left Chang'an in the morning and arrived in Changling at noon;
Before the sun went down in the afternoon, hundreds of people from the Changlingtian family were waiting in line to have their heads cut off by the Wei River...

"Is there really no other way but to confess to His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty's temperament has never been associated with the word 'magnanimous'..."

"Sister, let's go here. Don't say it's my Changlingtian family - even a pig, I'm afraid I'll have a narrow escape?"

Wang Quan himself understood this.

But Wang Quan is also clear: this is the only possible way to break the situation at the moment.

Just like Liu Bi, the king of Wu who was already riding a tiger outside the pass: if he confessed, he might be lenient, but if he allowed the situation to develop, Liu Rong would completely explode the thunder...

"lady."

"The eldest son of the emperor has sent someone, and they are waiting outside the palace..."

Outside the palace door, the eunuch's feminine voice sounded, causing the eyes of the two sisters and brothers in the palace to widen!
They looked at each other in horror. In the end, Wang Quan managed to maintain the dignity of 'Madam' and stood up calmly.

"Who's coming?"

"——The general manager of the Phoenix Palace: Xia Que."

huh~~~
Not hearing the name 'Kwai Wu' from the eunuch's mouth, the two siblings just let out a sigh of relief.

After another round of eye contact, Wang Quan summoned Xia Que into the palace.

When she saw Xia Que's skinny, monkey-like frame, Wang Quan became more uneasy.

——Perhaps Kui Wu's muscular figure, nearly nine feet tall, with a huge back and waist, really left an indelible shadow in Wang Quan's heart;
When he saw Xia Que, who was as thin as a chicken, Wang Quan subconsciously thought: Well, at least he looks like a soft persimmon...

"Ma'am, please step aside."

The words were peaceful, even with some overly soft words, which made Wang Ao nod immediately, waved his hands and dismissed the palace people, leaving only his younger brother Tian Fu to watch from the side.

In Wang Quan's opinion, the eldest son of the emperor specially sent someone and asked the eunuch Xia Que to "step aside". There should be something inconvenient for outsiders to know, and Xia Que was asked to tell him.

But for the rest of his life, Wang Quan would never, nor would he, believe that he would ever have such a day.

As the biological mother of the tenth prince, she would be raped by an eunuch...

Snapped!
The sudden crisp sound made the two siblings stunned for a moment!
Even Wang Tan, who had been slapped on the face and felt the burning pain, was looking in front of him in disbelief, as if the wind could blow away the thin figure a hundred and eighty steps away...

"You, dare to hit me?"

But seeing Wang Da half a step in front of him, the eunuch Xia Que rubbed his wrists in pain, and blew on the palms of his hands as if there was no one else around.

After a while, it seemed as if nothing had happened. He held his head high, his arms folded in front of his abdomen, and looked at Wang Dan with indifferent eyes.

"Young Master has something to say, and I want my slave to bring it to Madam."

"——The slap just now was made by the lady who deceived the king and insulted the reputation of the Tian family. The young master couldn't stand it, so he slapped it for your majesty."

"The young master has also sent someone to pick up Madam's daughter who is living outside the customs."

···
"Young Master wants to tell Madam: The eldest son of the Emperor will never go back on his word unless he comes to Qilan Palace for a second time."

"But if Madam is still stubborn, regardless of the internal and external troubles of the country, Your Majesty is working on state affairs day and night, and still insists on causing trouble..."

"Well... if you make trouble..."

When it came to the end, Xia Que just scratched his head for no apparent reason, obviously forgetting the words.

Under the increasingly horrified gazes of Wang Ao and Tian Fu, Xia Que finally gave up her struggle;

He lowered his head a little hurriedly, rummaged around in his chest, and then quickly opened the bamboo slips and took a look.

Then, he held his head high again, coughed twice and cleared his throat.

"Cough cough..."

"However, if Madam is still stubborn and wants to cause trouble in the harem regardless of the internal and external troubles of the country, the eldest son of the emperor will never miss his younger brother again."

"——The eldest son of the emperor just doesn't want his younger brother to lose his mother early at such an age."

"But if he has to, the eldest son of the emperor doesn't mind if he has another younger brother raised in the Phoenix Palace."

···
"Madam's daughter, the emperor's eldest son will live a good life and be raised in a remote place, and will never appear in Chang'an."

"But Madam must bear in mind: This is because the eldest son of the Emperor is willing to cover up Madam for the sake of his infant brother."

"Mrs. Wanwang, take care of yourself."

After saying these words, Xia Que walked out of the hall step by step with a slightly awkward pace, just as he had done when he arrived.

Behind Xia Que, looking at the back of the thin eunuch as he left, Wang Ao was still covering his cheeks in disbelief;

He couldn't help but murmur: "He actually dared to hit me..."

···
"How dare he hit me!"

···
"A castrated concubine can be cut with a knife!!!"

···
"How dare you bully me to this extent?!!!!!!"
