The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 175 The sly little fox
Eunuch Wang turned back after an hour. He didn't see Mr. An, but he had learned the whole story from Mrs. An's wife: "The Empress Dowager, this servant has already asked clearly. It was Mr. Wu who hid a man in the military tent. The beautiful girl was discovered by Ding Lei, the eldest son of the Ding family. Ding Lei was a romantic ghost. He fell in love with the concubine of the eldest son, so he took advantage of the opportunity of Marshal Ma to go out to inspect the camp, and tricked the eldest son out of the barracks. The military account that the girl was captive back to her was stained, the girl was also chaste and fierce, she killed herself when she lost her integrity, but the eldest son was offended by this, he and the second son assembled his subordinates, and drew swords against the Ding brothers, Ding The eldest son of the family died under the sword of the eldest son, but the second son was beheaded by the second son of the Ding family. The eldest son was angry and beheaded the second son of the Ding family. Marshal Ma rushed back to the barracks at this moment to stop the riot. And escorted the eldest son back to Beijing to plead guilty. A few days ago, the emperor forced An Guogong to convict the eldest son. In order to protect the Wu clan, An Guogong exterminated the relatives righteously, sentenced the eldest son to be executed and imprisoned himself. Afterwards, An Guogong fell ill. The emperor is on sick leave."

When the Empress Dowager Wu heard this, doubts flashed in her eyes, she was silent for a while before she said: "Shaoyou was raised by the Ai family. He has been talented since he was a child, and he acts cautiously and steadily. A person of color, in his eyes, family honor and his own future are more important than anything else, how could he do such a self-destructive thing for a woman?"

After Wang Gonggong heard the words, he hesitated for a moment before saying again: "According to Mrs. An Guogong, that girl is the eldest son's savior. On the way back to the military camp, the eldest son was surrounded by bandits who escaped death and was beaten." Cheng was seriously injured and thrown into the river, and was later rescued by the girl. Under the care of the girl, the eldest son recovered slowly. At the same time, he also developed a love for the girl. He also promised to marry the woman as a regular wife. The reason why the eldest son brought the woman into the army was that the eldest son was afraid that the group of bandits would hurt the woman, but according to the servants, he was afraid that the eldest son was full of energy and blood. The technique is too powerful, so that it captivates the Eldest Young Master's heart, causing the Eldest Young Master to make an irreversible mistake."

After hearing this, Empress Wu, who had lived most of her life in conspiracy and calculations, couldn't understand the meaning. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Eunuch Wang and said, "According to Eunuch Wang, someone set up a big trap for Shaoyou." Well, a beauty saves a hero, gets along day and night, gradually develops feelings, and finally privately orders for life. This is also an old trick, but it has been tried and failed. Since ancient times, a young hero has been saddened by a beauty, and the person behind it is really tall. Two of the most outstanding children in the family, this method is really ruthless, two lives, if you say sacrifice, you will sacrifice." Hearing the hint in Wang Gonggong's words, Queen Mother Wu laughed at herself, actually needless to say, she He can also guess who is responsible for the layout, and who else can hate the Wu family so much, except for that little bitch.

"Empress Dowager, do you already know who is behind the scenes?" Eunuch Wang carefully observed the expression of Empress Dowager Wu, and then asked cautiously.

"So what if you know, this person has a vicious heart, a vicious means, and a watertight way of doing things. He has already wiped away all traces of her. Now we have nothing to do with her. She is really a cunning little fox. I am sorry for myself! "The Empress Dowager Wu laughed at herself more and more, but she regretted that she should have killed that girl in the first place, otherwise she would not have left such a big hidden danger for herself.

Hearing this, Eunuch Wang thoughtfully stopped asking who that person was. He was silent for a while and said: "Empress Dowager, what are you going to do? Since that person wants to deal with the Wu family, he will definitely make another move. Are we going to Sit and wait!"

"This Ai family needs to think about it carefully. The Ai family is tired, so help the Ai family to rest in the inner hall for a while." Empress Dowager Wu said with a tired look.

Eunuch Wang stopped talking, and carefully helped Empress Dowager Wu into the inner hall, waiting for her to rest.

In the Siyu Pavilion, Yunyu reported the situation of Dongci Ning Palace to Li Meiying. After Li Meiying heard it, she didn't say anything, she just picked up the book in her hand and continued to read. Yunyu didn't understand, so she hesitated After a while, he said: "Princess, with Wu's shrewdness, she must suspect that Wu Shaoyou's matter was arranged by you, the princess. With her temper, she will definitely come up with vicious methods to deal with the princess. The princess must be careful."

Li Meizhen put down the book in her hand and said with a smile: "The Wu family's momentum is not as good as before. The Wu family is just a nominal queen mother in the harem. They are like a dangerous building that may collapse at any time. At this time, they don't have the energy to deal with me for the time being, so don't worry!"

After hearing this, Yunyu calmed down, thinking that it will be Xiaonian soon, so she tentatively asked: "Princess, will you go to see this year's palace banquet?"

Li Meiying heard the words, smiled and said with a relaxed face: "Last year I was Princess Yingsu, Wei Chengzhi's adoptive daughter, a member of the royal family, and I couldn't refuse the palace banquet. Now I have resumed my title. I am Princess Yaohuang of the ancient country, what do I do with the reunion in the royal family, let's spend our own years in the mansion."

Yunyu heard the words and said happily: "This year can finally be a comfortable year. When the princess succeeds in her career and we return to my homeland for the New Year, it will be even better."

When Li Meizhen heard this, her pair of peach eyes were astonishingly bright, and she smiled confidently: "Yes, I believe that day will not be too far away."

In the days that followed, because the weather was too cold and there were several snowfalls, Li Sister-in-law hid in her princess mansion. In the blink of an eye, all households began to get busy for the new year, as Li Sister-in-law recovered. The original title is still standing in Xindu, and the life is enjoyable, and more and more people are fawning on, and this year Li Sister-in-law's house received several times as many gifts as last year Because of the matter of returning the gift, Mo Shu was very busy, and when the noble concubine in the palace heard about this situation, she sent several courteous nuns from her own palace to live in Princess Yaohuang's mansion to help Mo Shu organize the ceremony. The gift thing.

Li Sister-in-law knew that the nanny was arranged by the concubine Wei Jinyang, but she didn't reveal it, because Mo Shu was really too busy and she needed someone to help her.

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve came, and Princess Yaohuang's mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, which was festive and harmonious. In the palace, there was still the Chengfu Palace, but this year's palace banquet was much quieter than in previous years. Wei Jinyang was not married, and the harem seemed to be empty Today, the second and third princes have gone to their respective fiefs, and the fifth prince is still tired of the war in Western Xinjiang, unable to leave and return to Beijing.

Wei Jinyang looked at the vacant phoenix seat beside him, and his mind was cleared. In the beginning of spring, he will have to draft to enrich the harem because of his status, but among the group of women selected into the palace, there is no one he wants .
