Shao family has a daughter

Chapter 82
"Chen..." Gao Chen struggled while lying on the stretcher.

"Don't move." The emperor waved his hand, motioning for the eunuch Li Dequn to hold him down, and then said: "No matter what happens in the future, tell me, don't hold it in your heart like a gourd, you will suffer a lot instead."

"Emperor Long En." Gao Chen struggled to lower his body, "I am very grateful, sir."

Concubine Mei's thoughts kept turning.

Really...going that way?It's too dangerous.

——She decided to try the emperor's heart.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Mei was furious, "The concubines of the four counties are full of filth. After slandering the concubines, they want to leave. You must not let her go lightly! Please the emperor to make decisions for the concubines."

Empress Wu frowned and said, "Concubine Mei, the king of Yan has already been handed over to the clan's mansion. Right and wrong are judged by the emperor. Why are you still making trouble here? I advise you to take a rest with the emperor."

Concubine Mei said angrily: "I'm talking about the princesses of the four counties!"

"Okay." The emperor was tired of watching, and waved his hands, "Everyone back down."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Mei Gui has her own thoughts, she can't tell others, and this is the second time she has fallen into Xianhui's hands, she can't wait, how can she let Xianhui go so easily?Immediately angrily said: "Just now the concubines of the four counties slandered the reputation of the concubines and despised the emperor..."

"Slap!" The emperor raised his hand and slapped him hard and hard, "What did you do to slander you? What did you do to despise you?" Angrily roared: "I want to deal with King Yan, but if you stop him, that's despising the Holy Spirit!" meaning!"

Don't blame the emperor for getting angry.

Although Empress Wu helped Gao Chen, at least she knew the general situation, but she still had scruples about the emperor and worried about the emperor's health.Concubine Mei Gui just focused on getting rid of her opponents and quarreling, regardless of whether the emperor was angry or not.The emperor had favored Concubine Mei Gui for many years, seeing her being so selfish, naturally his heart turned cold, and with the things she and King Yan had done, it was hard not to think about it!

Concubine Mei Gui was stunned by the beating, "Your Majesty, are you hitting me?" After all these years in the palace, she has never been flicked, let alone slapped.It's always smooth sailing in normal times, and it's the first time that someone beats someone up like this, and I can't help feeling wronged and even more resentful!

It seems that not only King Yan will lose if this continues, but also himself will be unlucky.

"Your majesty, why are you beating your concubine?" Concubine Mei Gui kept pressing the emperor's bottom line again and again, "A shrew who talks nonsense like the princess of the four counties is not worthy of being a princess of the county at all... "

"She is not worthy to be a princess of the county? Why don't you look in the mirror to see if you are worthy of being a noble concubine?!" The emperor's anger flashed blue in his eyes, like lightning, and he was not in the mood to argue with her, so he called Li Dequn to order : "The imperial concubine Mei's words and deeds are insignificant, and she has repeatedly despised the holy will several times. Now her title of imperial concubine is taken away and she is demoted to a nobleman!"

"No!" Mei Guiren screamed instinctively at first, and then felt cold, it's over, it's over, this time the Mei family meddled in the matter of framing Gao Chen, and completely dragged herself and the Mei family into trouble.Judging from the current situation, not only the king of Yan is going to die, but also himself and the Mei family are going to die too, so we can't let it go on like this.

"Your Majesty..." She just became so angry that her body softened and she passed out.

Empress Wu led Xianhui and Gao Chen to leave, and returned to Fengyi Palace, feeling really indescribably happy.

Thanks to Xianhui's cleverness, Mei's anger made the emperor angry, and now she is better, and her imperial concubine status has been deprived of her life!Although there is only one word difference between the noble concubine and the nobleman, but the difference is more than one hundred and eight thousand miles?
Before this, Mei was the only fourth concubine of the first rank in the palace, apart from herself, she was under one person and above ten thousand.Now that she has become Lady Mei, there are quite a few concubines with senior qualifications in the harem, all of whom have higher status than her.Mei Guiren used to be domineering, arrogant and domineering everywhere, and the concubines would not let her go if she didn't do it herself.

What's more, it is difficult for the emperor to have any more children. After Mei Gui was demoted, it would be difficult to climb up again.And this time, the Mei family participated in the conspiracy, so they must also be implicated.

One goes up and down the other, they are weak but the Wu family is strong.

Empress Wu ordered her confidant, and said with a smile: "Take out the South Sea pearls that I got last year. I remember there is a box for Xianhui to take back. The big ones can be worn with pearls and flowers, and the small ones can be ground into powder for use." .”

Xianhui knew that the queen was in a good mood at the moment, and it would be unbeautiful to refuse, so she quickly thanked her with a smile, "I've taken advantage of the opportunity to come to Fengyi Palace today."

"My own family." Empress Wu said politely, brushed off the sleeves of the bright purple makeup coat, straightened her posture, and then told Gao Chen: "The emperor is a soft-hearted person, and with his age, it is inevitable You have to think about what will happen after you. So you must remember, and you..." He also looked at Xian Hui, "King Yan and Mei Guiren are already in a weak position, we must not step on them at this time, lest it will be self-defeating."

Gao Chen probably knew one or two about the emperor's temper, and his staff and people in the capital also inquired about the news, and knew that what Empress Wu said was true, so he replied: "Empress, don't worry, no matter what the clan's government will do in the end , are all holy will, and I will not have any objections."

Empress Wu nodded with a smile, "That's good." When I chose Gao Chen, it was inseparable from his calm and calm temperament, so I was very relieved of his words.Just feeling puzzled, he asked, "That woman can't really be a female assassin?"

Regarding this point, Xianhui was also puzzled and worried.

At that time, the news of Gao Chen's assassination was sent by someone, but he just said not to panic, it's fine, and then told himself how to cry and so on.Logically speaking, the assassin should be fake.

Gao Chen euphemistically said: "That female assassin, she trimmed it up a little bit."

The girl she sang didn't really look like Xianhui, but after she died, she could put on a little make-up.As for the thin calluses on the palms and the slightly thicker arms, they were all treated by someone.Anyway, it was already a corpse, so it was too easy to do it.

But, that's not the point.

Empress Wu is someone who has been immersed in the harem for decades, her thoughts changed slightly, "Oh, then this trimmer is really amazing."

Gao Chen thought about it, and according to the queen's temperament, she must be suspicious. Instead of being evasive, it's better to let her know.Empress Wu knew the strength of Prince Qing's Mansion, so she had some scruples, so as not to use Xianhui as a soft persimmon, so she smiled lightly, "Maybe General Liang didn't look carefully."

Empress Wu's complexion changed suddenly, did General Liang look carefully?Impossible!In other words, the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards released water from it, and he was from Prince Qing's mansion!I underestimated Prince Qing's Mansion.

Xianhui watched the two of them exchange words, her eyes flickered, and she slowly understood.

Empress Wu quickly came to her senses, she didn't ask any more questions, but talked about the homely leisure, Liu Xianhui and Gao Chen had dinner, and then they were sent out of Fengyi Palace.Before leaving, the smile on his face was kind, "Xianhui, these days you will go to Prince Qing's Mansion to take care of the fourth child, and you don't have to accompany your stepmother."

Xianhui smiled and said: "Yes, I will visit my foster mother when I have time."

When they returned to Prince Qing's Mansion in the capital, someone would naturally greet Gao Chen and his wife. This is their own territory, and there are no elders or sisters-in-law, so Xianhui is not to mention very comfortable.But because he was worried about Gao Chen's injury, he couldn't be happy, and his heart ached.

"You really went for it, such a deep cut, it hurts even when I look at it."

Gao Chen said lightly: "The emperor can't be fooled."

Xian Hui nodded, "That's true." But she still felt distressed, and looked at his waist, "In this way, you will have to lie in the capital for more than a month at least."

Gao Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "That's not right."

Xianhui was startled for a moment, and only then did he understand his deep meaning.

That's right, since he suffered such a serious injury, he definitely couldn't return to Jiangdu right away, so he had to stay in the capital.With Empress Wu's hard work, she has a lot more time than other vassal kings, and can get close to the emperor.

Wait, is Gao Chen determined to fight for the Crown Prince?If he really became the crown prince and the prince, wouldn't he be the princess?If he became the emperor, wouldn't he be...?Although Empress Wu and the Wu family had this plan, they hadn't seriously thought about it before.

It's pretty scary when you think about it.

Xianhui knew that these words were not easy to discuss deeply, so she changed the subject and said, "What will happen to King Yan in the end?"

Gao Chen said in a low voice: "Thunder, rain and dew are all due to your grace."

He had the same idea as Empress Wu. All the affairs of King Yan were handled by the clan's mansion, and he didn't go out for activities, so as not to annoy the emperor by jumping up and down.After all, he didn't kill King Yan, so he could be the prince himself. Why bother asking for trouble?But he doesn't look for trouble, but the trouble takes the initiative to find him.

In the afternoon, the emperor unexpectedly came to visit Prince Qing's mansion in micro-clothes.

——This is a big deal.

After some courtesies, the emperor asked: "You have been wronged this time, do you have any thoughts on what to do with King Yan and the Mei family? Tell me, I will consider it for you."

Gao Chen's heart twitched, he must not say a word wrong, but he said: "Can I tell the truth?"

The emperor looked at him deeply, "Of course."

Gao Chen deliberately sighed, "As far as I am concerned, as long as I think of the protection of King Yan from Prince Qing's mansion at the beginning, and then think of his subsequent revenge, humiliation and assassination, I naturally hope to punish him heavily."

"Oh?" the emperor asked, "Any other ideas?"

"Yes." Gao Chen replied sternly: "Please forgive me, the emperor, to tell the truth, because there is no crown prince, no matter whether it is in the court or in the local area, people's hearts are unstable. At this time, if the court severely punishes a feudal king, in fact It's not suitable, so Yichen Wei sees that the matter of King Yan should be resolved back to the fief."

A gleam flashed in the emperor's eyes.

He hated King Yan generously and frankly, this is not a lie; then he said that the current situation is unstable, and the court is not suitable for severely punishing King Yan, this is foresight; finally he said that the matter of King Yan should be resolved after returning to the fiefdom, this is Made a plan.

How did King Yan get his throne?Everyone knows it well, and his brothers know it even more, and there is hatred.

As long as King Yan loses a little bit, no... even if the court doesn't protect King Yan, then he will have a lot of troubles and troubles when he returns to the fiefdom. I'm afraid the road ahead will be dangerous and unpredictable.

Gao Chen played a beautiful conspiracy, which was not hypocritical, but also exposed his strength.

The emperor thought for a while, but if he were standing in the opponent's position, he couldn't think of a better answer.Such a person is the one who is suitable to be the crown prince, not the king of Yan who only knows about conspiracy and tricks.I have made some choices in my heart, but it is not enough to decide to make Gao Chen the crown prince just because of this appreciation.

The current situation is very complicated, and there are many things to consider, so he smiled and said, "Where's your eloquent and beautiful little daughter-in-law? Call me out and have a look."

Gao Chen immediately ordered someone to look for Xianhui, who was actually next door, and came over in an instant.

"I have met the emperor." Xianhui saluted politely.

The emperor was not angry at the moment, and treated the female relatives with a pleasant face, "Get up and talk." Then he asked casually: "Yesterday, Mrs. Mei Gui became a little angry, don't take it to heart."

Xianhui was taken aback, how could he let the emperor pay for it?He hurriedly said: "Mistress Mei Gui has always been blessed with holy grace and has never been wronged. Yesterday she was a little anxious about the Mei family's affairs, which is unavoidable. Just like a concubine, because she is worried about the safety of the four county kings, she will be more anxious."

The emperor couldn't help laughing, this is also an interesting person.

First of all, it is human nature for Mei Gui to have a temper under his doting, and he seems to understand each other very well.Then she explained her radical remarks yesterday, just like Mei Guiren, it was naturally human.

The emperor smiled and said, "Then, in your opinion, what should King Yan and the members of the Mei family do?"

Xianhui lowered her eyes, "This..." She pondered quickly in her mind, while dodging, "I am just a woman and child, how can I have the right to talk about court affairs? The emperor should stop making fun of me."

A quick thought came to his mind that the emperor hadn't died when he died in his previous life.In other words, the emperor will have to live for at least another three years, or even longer, and he has not made anyone a prince in the past few years.It seems that the emperor himself has some plans in mind.

But it's not difficult to understand, power, of course, is best held in one's own hands.

——The prince will decentralize power.

Judging from this, Prince Qing's Mansion has to keep its tail between its legs for several years at least, so as not to provoke taboos.

The emperor made a joke as if to lighten the atmosphere, "You're just a little girl, tell me, I'll relieve my boredom by listening, and I don't blame you if I make a mistake."

"Yes." Xianhui didn't dare to shirk any more, but she didn't believe that the emperor really had such a good temper, so she said carefully, "According to my concubine's opinion, the people of King Yan and the Mei family are really too bad." She spoke in the tone of a little girl , "We should give them a hard beating, and then the emperor will teach them a lesson and make them be more honest!"

Gao Chen's eyes were tense immediately, worried that Xian Hui would overstate his words, but it was hard to remind him.

Who knows, Xianhui then continued: "But to the emperor, the kings of the four counties are nephews, and so is King Yan. Seeing that the younger generations are good and bad, naturally they feel mixed feelings."

The emperor became more interested and said with a smile, "Well, you can continue."

"I think..." Xianhui replied: "Although King Yan and the young masters of the Mei family should be punished, this is not the most important thing. Just leave it to the clan's government to deal with it according to the rules. The emperor is fair and wise, and naturally I won’t let the kings of the four counties be wronged, and my concubine won’t talk too much.” After a pause, “But no matter how you deal with it, you can’t make the emperor angry and sad. It should be based on the emperor’s will, after all, it’s still the emperor’s. The dragon body is important."

No matter who the emperor adopts as the crown prince, they are all stepson, and they definitely want to find someone who is pure, filial and respectful.Besides, now that the emperor is in good health, I am afraid that he may not want to establish a crown prince, so some things should not be rushed, and the emperor must not be unhappy.

The corners of Gao Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and he was immediately relieved when he heard his wife say that.

Unexpectedly, her mind was so sharp that she could see through the affairs of the court outside.Speaking of it, I have always treated her like a little girl, but I just think she is a little clever and her conversation is interesting, but it seems that it is not the case.Whether it's her performance in front of the emperor these two days or what she said just now, it can be seen that she is much stronger than ordinary women, so it's useless for me to worry.

Xianhui continued: "As long as the emperor is in good health, it is the well-being of the people in the world. It doesn't matter even if the king of the four counties suffers a little bit of grievance. The concubine thinks that the heart of the king of the four counties must be the same as that of the concubine, and the emperor is the most important thing." , so the concubine really has no opinion, just wait for the emperor's order."

Not only did he show his filial piety, but Gao Chen also took it along with him.

There was a look of surprise in the emperor's eyes.

No matter how sincere the little girl is, it is very gratifying to be able to put the holy bow as the most important thing and would rather be wronged.Unlike King Yan and the Mei family, who only know how to pursue their own interests, how can they care about the court and the monarch?Right now I feel very useful in my heart, nodded and said: "You are very good, I am very relieved."

If there is such a plan, such a gentle and kind-hearted girl is like a queen.

Just as he was about to reward him with some kindness, Li Dequn shouted at the door, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The emperor knew that the confidant eunuch said something was important, so he immediately asked people to come in.

Li Dequn looked at Gao Chen and Xian Hui, and then at the emperor, seeing that he didn't intend to avoid speaking, he couldn't help being startled, my God!Is this the emperor's default appointment of Gao Chen and his wife?It's just that he didn't dare to ask any more questions right now, and hurriedly said: "I just got the news that the third son Mei committed suicide."

The emperor's face was gloomy. Needless to say, this was naturally a scapegoat pushed by King Yan and the Mei family.

The girl who sang the song must have been arranged by Mr. Mei San. Neither King Yan nor anyone else knew about it. King Yan was drunk, and the others didn't know the princess of the four counties—are they treating themselves as fools? !He didn't stay any longer at the moment, and returned to the palace, and while he was still angry, Mrs. Mei Gui came over.

After some crying, it was exactly the same as the emperor's speculation.

The emperor was so annoyed that he waved his hand and said, "I understand, step down."
