royal princess

Chapter 280
After eating breakfast leisurely in the room, Si Jin no longer had the anxiety of yesterday at all.

Wang Guiren and Qiao Lingyi were dog-eat-dog, and in the end both were hurt. I only pitied her for being in fear for a day. It was really not worth it.

Aunt Jiang saw that her master was in good spirits, without the decadence of yesterday, she must have something to do with the emperor.

"Miss."

Si Jin looked at Aunt Jiang and said with a smile, "Is Auntie busy?"

"Yes." Aunt Jiang hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The emperor reprimanded the empress for failing to judge the case. The case of the poisoning of nobleman Wang was unclear, which made nobleman Wang feel wronged, and then took the risk to take revenge privately and murder the concubine."

Si Jin stopped watering the flowers, "And then?"

"Wang Guiren confessed the source of the poison, and both Su Meiren and Chu Guiren were implicated in it. Chu Guiren was paralyzed on the bed, and sent Su Meiren to the inner court for interrogation, and then found out that Sumerian and Chu Guiren joined forces to assassinate the empress. .And before, the poisoning of nobleman Wang was also related to them, not only that, Qiao Xiaoyi contributed to the flames, and the concubine's secret actions were all involved."

Si Jin really didn't expect Xiao Qi to do this at this moment, is this going to be a pot?
From empress and noble concubine to nobleman Su Rui, Chu Chenglan, Qiao Xiaoyi...

Everything is clear, and the lines are clearly drawn.

Xiao Qi...it is clear that he has a plan in mind, maybe he has been preparing for a long time, right?

Only one day later, on the second day, Xiao Qi was furious at the court, and reprimanded the empress and noble concubine for their ineffective tutoring of their daughters, and also reprimanded the Su family and the Wang family for not being strict with their daughters. , the emperor got angry together, and the whole court was shocked.

Except for such a big event, there is no sign at all in the harem.

The queen covered up the truth about the poisoning of the nobleman Wang, and the noble concubine and Qiao Lingyi secretly poisoned the nobleman Wang. Su Rui and Chu Chenglan murdered the pregnant concubine because of his evil intentions, and he deserves to be punished!

The court trembled uneasy, is this the rhythm of the whole harem?

Ling Guogong and Cao Guogong pleaded guilty at the court, and Chu Yangqiao and the Su family in Quzhou could not escape the guilt.

At the same time, the admonishers headed by Qin Yuchuan impeached Ling Guogong, Cao Guogong and the Su family of Quzhou for several crimes.All the criminal evidences are complete, and every piece of evidence can be traced. The court is in an uproar, and everyone is in danger.

When the DPRK and China were in turmoil, Su Shengyang led an order to train troops in the camp outside Beijing.The elite army, strong soldiers and fierce generals are invincible, and their morale is soaring. Wherever Xiaolongwei passes, the people cheer and the officials are excited, showing off the majesty of the great dynasty.

Inside, there is Qin Yuchuan's rectification of treacherous officials, and outside, there is Su Shengyang's military training to frighten the court.Su Xingyu brought a large amount of tax and food from Juehu County, and the tax bank swaggered all the way to Beijing, and the silver box on the ten-mile long street entered the capital in a mighty manner.

There are soldiers, money, and people!

For the emperor Xiao Qi, it was the first time that he sat so securely on the throne of Nine Dragons.

Looking down at the aristocratic families kneeling down to plead guilty, Youyou let out a long sigh of relief!

Si Jin was well aware of the turmoil in the court, she would not interfere with these matters, Xiao Qi had been suppressed by the aristocratic family for so many years, and finally had a chance to turn defeat into victory, so naturally he had to let out a sigh of relief.

Compared with the previous dynasty, the harem was eerily quiet.

Xiao Qi swept his sleeves, from top to bottom, starting with empresses and concubines, and how many concubines were implicated below. This is the biggest change since the founding of the country.

It was heard that the queen mother had already met the emperor, but the mother and son seemed to be having a very unhappy conversation, so the queen mother walked away.

The next day, the Empress Dowager summoned Si Jin again.

Only when Si Jin got involved in the matter of their mother and son, the Queen Mother would be a soft persimmon.But she just wanted to intimidate and lure herself to be a lobbyist, but she was unwilling to speak for the Queen Mother, which made Xiao Qi unhappy.

So, as soon as Aunt Shi left, Yi Hexuan announced the imperial physician on the back.

The slap was loud enough.

What the queen mother thinks, Si Jin no longer thinks too much.In the current situation where Xiao Qi's family is dominant, she can continue to be angry with the Queen Mother. Anyway, as long as Xiao Qi has no objection, she can really walk sideways in the harem.

On the fifth day, Qi Ronghua came.

Si Jin looked at her with a smile, "I didn't expect you to come, I thought it would take ten and a half months."

Hearing Concubine Xi's ridicule, Qi Ronghua had a thick smile on his face, "I'm willing to wait ten or eight years to take revenge, but I didn't expect my wish to be fulfilled now. The concubine came Thank you, Empress, for telling the whole story about my natal family, for my concubines, and for my Qi family."

Said Qi Ronghua bowed solemnly.

Si Jin stretched out her hand to help her up, let her sit down, and then said: "I really didn't deal with this matter, but it was the emperor's plan to decide the victory, and all I can do is say a few words in front of the emperor for you. It’s just words, don’t take it to heart.”

Qi Ronghua smiled slightly, "Your Majesty's kindness is not reciprocated, it is really admirable." After finishing speaking, he looked at Concubine Xi, "My Majesty, after this turmoil, the harem is afraid that there will be great disturbances. I wonder what your plans are? ?”

Si Jin knew what Qi Ronghua was referring to, and then looked at her, "Do you also think that the Empress has just fallen?"

Qi Ronghua was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out what Concubine Xi meant, and said carefully, "You think the Empress will be safe after getting it? Duke Ling was furious this time, and there was also the matter of Chu Chenglan. Son, the Chu family will not be kind."

Si Jin refilled the tea for the two of them, and then said slowly: "It is precisely because the Chu family will not be kind, so the empress is safe."

Qi Ronghua didn't understand, and frowned at Concubine Xi, "I also ask your mother to give some pointers, my concubine is dull."

It is understandable that Qi Ronghua did not expect these things, after all, the eyes of the inner house woman are always in the four corners of the house.

After thinking for a while, she looked at her and said: "Among the people who have been convicted in the harem, only the Empress is the least charged. This matter does not need to be whitewashed, it depends on whether this matter should be investigated."

Qi Ronghua understood this, and took it seriously, nodded slightly, "Your Majesty said so."

"Except for the empress, the crimes committed by the rest of the people are unforgivable. The imperial concubine and Qiao Xiaoyi murdered the nobleman, the nobleman borrowed a knife to kill the nobleman, or the Sumerian and the nobleman of Chu murdered the pregnant concubine, all of which are serious crimes. The previous dynasty was shaken, and the harem When the situation is unstable, the empress, the mother of a country, is like a needle that holds the sea, and needs to deter the harem, so the mother of the country is more important than Mount Tai, and if anyone has trouble, at this juncture, the empress will be fine."

Qi Ronghua looked at the admiration on Concubine Xi's face. It's no wonder that the emperor valued him so much. She sighed lightly, "Speaking of which, the Empress has been doing her best in presiding over the affairs of the harem over the years and has never slacked off. And her actions are basically It is fair and impartial, but there is no major fault."

Si Jin smiled, the queen is not without fault, but the empress is very smart.All the wrong things she did were within the range that Xiao Qi could bear, or they obeyed Xiao Qi's heart.

So it can always be as stable as a mountain.

What happened this time, the queen probably didn't expect that the boat would capsize in the gutter, and Xiao Qi would make such a big move.

"The empress is indeed a fair person." Si Jin replied with a smile.

Qi Ronghua was actually a little entangled in her heart. She thought that Concubine Xi would be interested in the second place, but now it seems that she is not interested at all.

"It's a pity that the empress has just fallen into trouble. It's really chilling to have a villain in the harem who has fallen into trouble." Qi Ronghua sighed, even if it is the empress, once she is guilty, she is no different from ordinary people.

"You mean concubines and concubines?" Si Jin smiled sarcastically, "It's just an act of flirting, not a big deal."

When the empress was in distress, Concubine Xian and others who had always been attached to her were really jumping up and down very happily these days.

Speaking of which, the empress and the noble concubine were convicted at the same time. In the harem, only the concubine Xian is the only one with a prominent status, and I am the only one with a high status. After all, I have a son by my side and another in my belly.

But she has been in Yihexuan all the time, but Concubine Xian may think that both the Queen and the Concubine have fallen, and that she may ascend to the Phoenix throne, which is a lot of trouble.Especially at the Queen Mother's place, it was like walking around three times a day.

"Concubine Xian is too restless, and it is really chilling. The Queen's empress has treated her with affection these years. Whoever thinks of such a juncture can see her true nature."

"It's the truth that people's hearts can be seen for a long time." Si Jin said, "During this period, you should go out less and walk around. Even if other people's virtuous concubines confront each other head-on, they won't be arrogant for a few days."

Qi Ronghua knew what he said, and he looked at Si Jin and asked the last sentence, "What's your plan?"

"I, of course, have a good pregnancy."

Qi Ronghua was silent for a while when he heard the words, and then smiled, "Good advice, Your Majesty."

Concubine Xi is really admirable for being able to hide her strength and bide her time in such a way that she is not indifferent before being rich, powerful and powerful.

This kind of xinxing cannot be stabilized by everyone.

"I heard that the noble concubine has been begging to see the emperor but has been making a fuss in Changle Palace, and even Princess Yuzhen has been affected. She said that she has been crying and sick for the past few days." Qi Ronghua said in a low voice, sighing in his heart. As for being unable to think about it like this, even the princess suffered accordingly.

"The imperial concubine has always had a strong temperament, so she is naturally unwilling to be in this situation. As for Princess Yuzhen... After all, it is related to Cao Guogong's mansion, and it is not something you or I can say." Si Jin is not the Holy Mother, so she will never say The words that put Princess Yuzhen in Yihexuan came.

The child was raised by the imperial concubine's side since he was a child, and his mood and temperament were not in line with her.And not to mention Yu Jin, as long as there is one in her stomach, she can't even take the risk.

Putting herself and her children in a dangerous place for the sake of fame is not something she would do.

After hearing about Yuzhen, I could only sigh in my heart for her.

Qi Ronghua hesitated for a while, looked at Si Jin, and finally said: "If the imperial concubine is really convicted, then where will Princess Yuzhen go..."

Si Jin looked at Qi Ronghua with a strange expression, "Don't tell me you still want to keep her?"

"...The concubine dare not think about it. After all, my status is low, and I dare not expect to be able to raise a princess by my side."

"Then you have this idea? You have a grievance with the noble concubine, but you are willing to keep Yuzhen?" This is where Si Jin was surprised. It was really unexpected that Qi Ronghua would have such an idea.

Qi Ronghua pursed his lips, and after a while he said: "There is nowhere to spend the long days in this palace. If there is a child by my side, it will be more lively." Having said this, he smiled wryly, "There is indeed a relationship between me and the imperial concubine. Enmity, but the child is innocent, if no one is willing to raise Princess Yuzhen, I wonder if the empress can give me a good word or two."

Si Jin was silent, and it took a while before she said: "Princess Yuzhen already remembers things, even if she is kept by her side, her temperament is a bit arrogant and indulgent by a noble concubine, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot if you keep her by your side."

"Just like what your mother said, you will see people's hearts over time." Qi Ronghua said indifferently, "I just want to make my surroundings more lively. Even if there are many children, there will be some excitement in the palace. Otherwise, After the fall of the noble concubine, there is no support for hatred in this harem, to be honest, I don't even know how to live this day."

"Since you think so, if the time is right, I will speak for you." Si Jin nodded in agreement.

"Then I would like to thank you first, I will remember all the affectionate kindness that my wife showed me."

"Why do you and I need to be so polite?"

After seeing off Qi Ronghua, Si Jin was full of things on her mind, and when she thought about Yuzhen, she felt upset and irritable.

After all, she is a child, and she will not be cruel enough to do anything to a child.However, it is inevitable to worry that the imperial concubine will use Yuzhen to make a fuss.

After all, at this point, Qi Ronghua can be sure that the imperial concubine will not be able to stand up, and Princess Yuzhen will find her next family, so will the imperial concubine not think of it?
The imperial concubine will definitely think of it.

So Princess Yuzhen is sick at this time, is it a coincidence, or...

"Aunt Jiang!"

"Your maidservant is here." Aunt Jiang hurriedly opened the curtain and walked in quickly, "Your Majesty, what orders do you have?"

"You do something for me, go to Fenghuan Palace." Si Jin whispered beside Aunt Jiang.

Since the queen still needs to support the overall situation, then she will give her a chance to stand up and see if she can grasp it!
