Daughter of Hou's Mansion

The flames reflected on Shangguan Rui's ashen face, and the old prince's face was slightly gloomy. He had spent his whole life working hard, even taking the life of his eldest son to maintain the dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the Great Xia Dynasty has finally experienced the change of emperors. You can't be so discouraged at this time. Think about your original ambitions. The purpose of the people behind the scenes is to separate you from Shangguan Hao (I finally found out In the relationship between the snipe and the clam, the fisherman wins." The old prince's voice was deep and deep, like a sharp ancient sword across Shangguan Rui's heart.

Shangguan Rui couldn't help but think of the bloody storm four years ago. The late emperor's heirs were prosperous, and there were six adult princes. Except for King Wei who quit the battle for the throne early, each of them was evenly matched.The first emperor never established a crown prince, which also made all the princes including Shangguan Rui ready to move. No one would want to sit in that seat.

Who is the one?Empress Jiang?Qingluan couldn't help shaking her head, Empress Jiang shouldn't be so stupid, she is raising the prince now, and she doesn't have a son herself, so killing the prince won't do her any good, and even the emperor will take anger at the prince because of the death of the prince. She, all the servants of Kunning Palace were buried with her is the best example.

Shangguan Miao became famous at a young age, and held the military power at a young age. If he wanted the throne at that time, even the late emperor might not have fought for him. Why is he willing to take a step back at the pinnacle of power.

Qingluan shook his head heavily, shaking off the absurd thoughts in his mind, and the King Duan who was far away in Luocheng, Qingluan still remembered that King Duan rebelled in the previous life, and was quickly suppressed at that time. But this also shows that King Duan did not give up on the throne, killed the crown prince, blamed Prince Wei's son, disturbed the water in Shangjing, and finally took advantage of the chaos to seize the throne. Wouldn't it be more logical?

Both hands were firmly tied to the pillar, and the rough rope almost got into Qingluan's wrist.

"Prince Qin's concubine, come with us." The one who spoke was a eunuch in his early forties, with a high-pitched voice and a smirk on his face. 13acv.

The old prince shook his head directly. How to secure the throne is something the emperor should consider. If it wasn't because people from Prince Qin's mansion were involved this time, he would not take the initiative to say this, not to mention that he has been It was in the northwest, and if he didn't pay attention to Duan Wang who was far away in Luocheng, he would not bother to find the missing Yan Wang.

There were all kinds of instruments of torture in the interrogation room, Qingluan's face turned slightly pale, she bit her lip, and forced herself to maintain a calm expression.

"Tie me up." As soon as he entered the interrogation room, the eunuch in his 40s yelled at the two eunuchs who were pressing Qingluan.

Light gray one. "Thank you, Uncle Huang, for your reminder." After a long silence, Shangguan Rui raised his head and looked at the legendary figure of the Great Xia Dynasty not far away, "Uncle Huang, I have never understood why you are willing to be your soldier Where is the marshal?"

It is already the third day of the Lunar New Year, and three days have passed since the prince's accident. Qingluan has been under house arrest for the past three days. There is a bed in the room and a charcoal basin is burning. In a place like the Sky Prison, the condition of this room is much better.

Qingluan couldn't help frowning: "Who are you?" Many people have come to ask questions in the past three days, but the expressions of these people are too fierce, which makes Qingluan have a bad feeling in his heart.

The old prince's words made Shangguan Ruimao suddenly understand, and directly asked Eunuch Wang to call Hou Yong, and issued a series of orders in front of the old prince.

Prince Wei's son?Qingluan didn't want to think too much about this idea. She made friends with Xing Youyou, and what she valued was her straightforward character. She exchanged a five-month-old fetus for the death of the prince, and by the way she got rid of her own suspicion. I won't believe people's hearts anymore.

Qingluan was brought to an interrogation room by these people. Although he met a few palace eunuchs along the way, they all lowered their heads one after another, as if they were afraid of this group of people. Qingluan's heart sank. down.

Qingluan's expression darkened and he shouted: "Which palace eunuch are you from? The emperor never said that he would torture you. You guys are so brave."

Just as he was thinking about it, the door was pushed open with a "bang", Qingluan was startled, and suddenly raised his head, only to see five people dressed as eunuchs coming in to serve them.

Qingluan has a clear conscience about the death of the prince. She has also reflected on her behavior these days. After all, she is not vigilant enough. You must know that this palace is a land of tigers and wolves. The land of eternal doom.

The emperor has been in office for several years, and he almost forgot that it is not easy for him to secure a stable position in this country.

Now Shangguan Rui has been the emperor for several years, and the court has basically stabilized, but the stability does not mean that others are not coveting, the King Duan of Luocheng, the missing King Yan, dormant quietly does not mean that they have forgotten this seat Rong Guang, men naturally like to chase power, how many men in this world can resist the temptation of power?

The emperor didn't ask for her life. Although these people wouldn't take her life, but judging by their posture, I'm afraid they will suffer.

After saying these words, the old prince stood quietly aside. The elder brother's sons are all outstanding except for the king of Wei. When the succession was the most stringent, others were also in the northwest. In the end, he did his best to assist, for the Great Xia Dynasty, and for the Shangguan family.

"Lao Liu has not been seen in recent years, but I have never believed that he is dead. Out of our brothers, Lao Liu was the most ruthless. Does the emperor think it will be him?" Shangguan Rui Putting on a piece of clothing, he got out of bed directly, perhaps because of a change in mood, his gray face looked much more energetic.

"Prince Qin's concubine, I advise you to be obedient, but don't toast and refuse to eat the fine wine, take it away." The eunuch drank, and immediately two eunuchs came up and grabbed Qingluan's hand.

Four years ago, the late emperor's body was getting old day by day, and the competition for the throne became more and more fierce. It was also in that year that Xia Shao, in order to make him invincible, finally exhausted all his energy and effort, and finally stepped on countless people. He climbed to the highest position, and the second and fourth paid the price with their lives.Wei Wang ranked fifth and stayed in Shangjing, the youngest Xiao Jiufeng was exiled to Luocheng as Duan Wang, and the sixth Shangguan Quan lost his trace in an accident and said he died, but the body was never found.Shangguan Rui named him King of Yan.

Qingluan sat silently on the chair, thinking about the situation that day over and over again in her mind, the secret way that even the emperor didn't know, being able to strangle the prince to death under the care of so many people in Kunning Palace, to be able to do these things People are not simple at all.

"Your Majesty, the Great Xia Dynasty looks peaceful now, but this is only on the surface. The death of the crown prince has broken this peace. If you are so depressed, then this country may change hands." The old prince's words sound very serious. It was treason, which made Shangguan Rui's back sweat.

Qingluan struggled a bit, and the two eunuchs exerted great strength, almost breaking her arm.

"But to be able to do such things in the palace, I'm afraid there should be an internal agent in the palace, and the identity of this internal agent is not simple." It must have been cleaned, but no matter how tight the defense is, it can't prevent the loopholes exploited by malicious people.

Qingluan doesn't know what's going on outside, for the past three days, different people will come to ask questions from time to time, there are guards and eunuchs, Qingluan repeats the same thing again and again without getting bored.

When Shangguan Rui thought of this, his eyes became sharper. He would never allow other people to get involved in this position. Even if he lost his son, he should have the final say on who will succeed him in the future.Thinking about it this way, the pain in my heart seemed to be much less.

Qingluan's complexion suddenly became ugly. Who sent this group of people is definitely not kind, and Qingluan didn't dare to move anymore. With the eunuch's strength, she believed that if she continued to struggle, they might be killed. Remove her arm on the spot.

The old prince was still calm when he heard the words, and he only said in a deep voice: "I was born to live on the battlefield." Everyone has their own pursuits, some people like the feeling of being superior and giving advice, but he enjoys that feeling even more. The glory of galloping on the battlefield and defending the country.

Shangguan Rui's face seemed to be moved a little bit, so speaking of it, he treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.However, this paranoia is a problem that the emperor can never change. Just because the emperor's uncle doesn't have this thought, it doesn't mean that Shangguan Yu doesn't, and it doesn't mean that those subordinates who follow him don't. In order to let him sleep at night, this military power still needs to be taken back .

************************************************** *********************

How long will it be without freedom, and Qingluan doesn't know. It would be a great fortune among misfortunes if she, Qin Qin's mansion, and Weiyuanhou's mansion can escape from this conspiracy.

Qingluan guessed wildly in his mind that he was locked up here and could not hear any news, and there was no basis for these guesses.

"Hehe, Prince Qin's concubine, we have the final say when you enter here today. If you are obedient, you will suffer less, or don't blame my whip for being merciless." The eunuch didn't show any mercy Qingluan put it in his eyes, and the smile on his face looked a little ferocious.

With a "squeak", the door of the interrogation room was pushed open again, and Qingluan almost thought that Shangguanjue had come to save her. In the past, when she was in danger, Shangguanjue would always show up at critical moments .But when she raised her head and saw the person coming, her heart couldn't stop falling to the bottom of her heart.

ps: If I get stuck here, I will probably be scolded again, but I didn't do it on purpose, and there will be more tomorrow.
