Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 425 The Emperor's Heart Is Unpredictable
Zhao Si's mouth was bitter, and he trembled. He said in a trembling voice: "Yes! At the beginning, the slaves wanted to take revenge..."

"Why? The relationship between you and uncle should not be that deep, right? It's only been a few months."

Yang Xiaoran asked curiously: "Also, does mother know about this?"

Zhao Si was silent for a while, then nodded, "It was the empress who saved me."

"what?!"

Yang Xiaoran was shocked, "Why, how come?"

Zhao Si sighed, and said: "The servant girl was born eunuch, and was regarded as unknown by the tribe. At the beginning, the parents concealed it, and the young life was quite comfortable. There are several acres of Susukida in the family, and the father is a far-sighted person. Although the servant girl is disabled , but the father told the slave girl that the body is disabled but the will is not disabled. So I paid a huge price for the slave girl to hire a husband. But the good times did not last long. I was discovered by my tribe, so I was expelled."

"My servant begged all the way to the capital, and I happened to meet the prince who was out for fun in Fanchuan. He saw me collapsed there hungry, so he gave me some food. It was an unintentional act of kindness, but seeing the noble man in front of me, my servant deliberately showed off. Learned. The prince Yin was surprised and asked about the slave's life experience. The slave told the truth, not only did the prince not discriminate against the slave, but sympathized with the slave's experience. He brought the slave back to the East Palace and gave the slave a face. Such kindness, the slave Even if you die, it is difficult to repay one or two..."

"Later, the Xuanwu Sect was shocked. Because the slaves had just entered the East Palace, few people were familiar with them, so they changed into the clothes of Xiaohuangmen and sneaked into the palace. It didn't take long for someone to recognize the slaves. Fortunately, they were bumped into by the empress. She covered up the past for her slaves and made a gentleman's covenant with her slaves. If the people can live and work in peace and contentment today, she will no longer mention revenge and serve the royal family wholeheartedly. Later, when the empress entered the palace, she appointed slaves to come to your side, she said, You can fulfill my wish."

"I?"

Yang Xiaoran was a little surprised, "Listen to you, you don't want to take revenge?"

Zhao Si sighed, "At that time, I only felt that Prince Yin was kind to his servants. But after entering the palace, he found that the emperor was benevolent and diligent, so he slowly put out his thoughts. The empress is right, no matter who is right or wrong , but no matter how big a right or wrong is, can it be against the happiness of the common people?"

"Since the Son of Heaven can make the people live a good life, the Supreme Emperor doesn't care about it any more. What is there to care about me as a guest? Even Wei Zheng recognizes the Son of Heaven, and if I mention revenge, I will be sorry to the people of the world."

Yang Xiaoran gasped, feeling admiration for his eldest grandson's bearing and ability.

"Many people from this hidden prince have followed His Majesty, so no one recognizes you?"

Zhao Si smiled wryly, "I just entered the East Palace, and my status is low. Before I have the opportunity to show my talents, I have changed. Who would notice me? Besides, I deliberately concealed it. I used to hide it because of the eunuch's disease. The crown prince also made me a fake beard to cover up, so when I show people I always appear as a great husband. In order to get revenge, I dressed up as a little yellow door, so I naturally threw away these things. I am a small person, and with this appearance, who Can you think it's me? The servant of the Yang family has seen it many times, and she didn't recognize it, let alone a big man like Wei Zheng."

Yang Xiaoran nodded, and after a long silence, he asked again: "Then what else do you wish for? You don't want to take revenge, but you've lost your mind recently..."

As soon as she mentioned this topic, Zhao Si's face turned pale again.

After being silent for a while, he kowtowed seriously, and said in a low voice: "Your maidservant, I just want to bring back the princess who is living outside and return her title."

"Da, uncle still has heirs alive?!"

Yang Xiaoran was shocked, "This, how is this possible?!"

Zhao Si whispered: "The little princess ran out..."

Yang Xiaoran gasped, sweat broke out all of a sudden, and said in a trembling voice: "You, do you know where he is? Also, the uncle's eldest daughter died young, and the second daughter was only under two years old. Didn't it mean that she died in the chaos? Is it gone?"

Zhao Si shook his head and said in a low voice: "When the incident happened, the servants saw that something was wrong, so they hugged the young master to the nurse and ran away from the tunnel. But the nurse's own daughter died instead of the young master... ..."

Zhao Si's voice couldn't help trembling when he said this, "Yes, it was Qiu Nian Niang who killed it with her own hands. All these years, as long as the slaves closed their eyes, the child's heart-piercing cries would be heard Side ring..."

He couldn't help sobbing, "But Qiu.Nurse.Mother can't help it. The prince has a great kindness for her and allows her to bring her daughter into the palace to take care of her. Qiu said that it was destined long ago, and her daughter's life is for She died instead of the princess. If it wasn't for the crown prince, how would she live as a woman who just lost her husband and brought her newborn daughter? The crown prince's kindness allowed her to bring her daughter into the palace. It is God's grace to live for two more years It's..."

Yang Xiaoran sat there in a daze, she couldn't understand this kind of loyalty.In order to repay his kindness, he personally killed his daughter...

This was too incomprehensible to her.

Because the values ​​of this society are different from hers, very different.So she can't criticize this mother, maybe in her opinion, loyalty is more important than her daughter's life!

"Then, where is that man now? How did he live these years? And does the queen know about this?"

Zhao Si nodded, "After running out with the little master, the mother-in-law concealed her name, but life was very difficult. These years, the slaves have always asked someone to deliver things quietly. Later, they were afraid that people would find out the clues, so they were with the queen. When the empress made the gentleman's covenant, she made a deceit, and asked the empress to first promise the servants to protect the person who wanted to be preserved, and then made the gentleman's agreement. The empress is kind, Xu also guessed something, and agreed."

"After making a gentleman's covenant with the empress, the slave and maidservant told the whole story. The empress was as surprised as you were at the time. But after all, it was a reincarnated Bodhisattva with a compassionate heart. Since then, he has always taken care of the slave and maidservant. Every month I will find an excuse to let the slaves go out of the palace to buy them. Before coming to the Crown Princess, the bills of the Linglong Pavilion and Duobao Pavilion were obtained by the slaves. Later, when they came to the Crown Princess, the slaves would still go to get the account books every month. These things The princess knows it all."

"So it takes a long time for you to go out of the palace every time, just to see the princess halfway?"

Yang Xiaoran couldn't help admiring, "What a loyal person! Sure enough, I saw you right!"

Paused and then frowned, said: "Then what is the purpose of the mother sending you to me and saying that I can fulfill your wish? The mother and A Weng couple are deeply in love, she can't do it, how can I do it?"

Zhao Si shook his head, "The servants don't know either. But the Empress said, if there is someone capable of doing this, the only one in the world is the Crown Prince and Concubine!"

After a pause, he continued: "Your Majesty once tempted His Majesty by beating around the bush, but His Majesty seemed unwilling to mention it. Seeing that King Qi's daughters died of illness one by one, she felt that it would be better for the young master to continue to remain anonymous. She only said to the slaves , take good care of you and the prince, and you will have a chance to rectify the name of the little princess in the future."

Yang Xiaoran frowned, slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, thought for a while, and then said softly: "Mother is really generous..."

As he spoke, he smiled wryly.

She is not the only one who can do this, to be precise, only Li Chengqian can do this.

The premise is that Li Chengqian can ascend the throne smoothly.

The grievances of the older generation are far away, and it is not a big deal to give a cousin status.

With Li Shimin's death, the grievances and grievances of this generation will be completely over.

It can be said that the eldest grandson has worked hard on this matter, with good intentions.

After all, you still think it’s a bit too much for your husband to kill everyone’s children, right?This is accumulating blessings for Li Er!
Thinking of this, Youyou sighed, and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Could it be that you think I'm also that kind of cruel person?"

"No!"

Zhao Si shouted, "Your Majesty is a kind-hearted person, but it is precisely because of her kindness that my slaves dare not tell this matter, for fear of harming you! The Empress Dowager has kept this matter extremely secretive, and she dare not let Your Majesty I know. If Your Majesty knows that you and the Empress defend us against us, I don’t know how to be angry. When Lei Ting gets angry, he will have millions of dead bodies! Your Majesty!”

Yang Xiaoran was silent.

Indeed, if this matter is known, what's the matter?The eldest grandson is brave enough to do such things under Li Shimin's nose.Li Shimin may forgive others, but he will not forgive Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Because these two people almost cost him his life!

Not to mention that this is a political enemy!

The so-called cutting grass does not remove its roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

It is impossible for a hero like Li Shimin not to know this truth!

Although women are generally not involved in the struggle at this time, judging from the fate of the daughters of King Qi, it seems that it is not much better.

This is due to Yang's face.But although they didn't die immediately, they were still detained in the palace as ordinary people, and then died of illness one by one within a few years.The eldest grandson assigned Zhao Si to his side, probably knowing her husband's character well.As long as the husband is still alive, it may be better for the uncle's daughter to live as a commoner outside.

After entering the palace, then maybe.

Seeing that Yang Xiaoran was silent, Zhao Si squirmed his lips and said in a low voice: "Actually, this servant has been in a trance recently. Yes, I think His Majesty may know about it."

"what?"

Yang Xiaoran looked up, a little startled.

"Last year, he suddenly adopted Concubine Yang's son to the prince, and he kept sighing in front of the queen, saying that the lack of restraint back then led to the death of several nephews and nieces in the chaos. The queen wanted to answer the words several times, but finally endured it .Recently, the slaves heard that His Majesty is going to posthumously designate the young master as the Lord of Wenxi County...then I feel that the emperor may be aware of it. Madam, have you forgotten? The accounts of Linglong Pavilion and Duobao Pavilion have always been managed by the empress. But the empress The empress has gone, so the power of the six palaces is supposed to be handed over to you, and you should also take over this ledger. After all, you created Duobao Pavilion and Linglong Pavilion by yourself. It doesn't matter how you look at it, it makes sense."

"But His Majesty didn't. Instead, he asked for it. The power of the six palaces can be entrusted to you, so why would you care about this mere account book? Could it be that Your Majesty still can't trust your daughter-in-law? So I was extremely terrified after thinking about it. I think His Majesty may have really noticed something..."

A layer of white sweat came out instantly.Yang Xiaoran sat back on the chair, his face turned pale, and he murmured: "If it's because the Emperor's heart is unpredictable, is being with you like a tiger?"

As he spoke, he frowned again, with two bright lights in his eyes, and said, "You man! That's right! Since you noticed something was wrong, why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
