The concubine is so charming

Chapter 83
"Empress and prince?" Su Yao suddenly raised his head.

"Yes, the servant girl also heard from the old man in the palace. It has been more than 20 years, and the emperor has also issued a password to prevent people from discussing freely. Gradually, no one mentioned it."

"Let's talk about it carefully. The queen is the mother of a country. How could she be publicly executed? And the prince is the queen's legitimate son?"

"It's too specific, and I don't know about it. I just heard people say that the queen has had visions since she was pregnant. First, the lotus flowers in the palace lake suddenly withered, and then swarms of crows flew around the imperial city for two or three days. The commotion caused panic among the people in the capital, so the emperor asked Qin Tianjian to predict the celestial phenomena, and Qin Tianjian came to the conclusion that these visions were due to the birth of a monster, and this monster was still hiding in the palace."

Su Yao couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly: "The birth of a monster, shouldn't it be an allusion to the child conceived by the queen?"

"At the beginning, no one connected this matter with the queen. The prisoner of the Qin Tianjian knelt down and begged for divination for many days. Before he vomited blood and died, he said that the evildoer would be born at noon on June [-]. At that time, there was a Several of the concubines were in constant anxiety, and even two of them had miscarriages because of being too worried, and they failed to keep their children in the end."

What happened next, Su Yao had roughly guessed more than half of it.

"According to the calculation of the date, the queen should give birth at the end of June, but for some reason, she started to have a stomachache on June [-]th, and after staying up for nearly a day and night, she gave birth at noon on June [-]th, and gave birth to a baby girl. Prince..."

Su Yao frowned: "Then the emperor executed the queen and his son?"

"That's not true. At that time, all civil and military officials were kneeling at the gate of the palace, begging the emperor to follow God's will to execute the queen and prince, but the emperor firmly disagreed, but in the end he had to send the queen and the newly born little prince to the present day due to pressure. Unexpectedly, in the next two years, natural disasters and man-made disasters would continue. After that, Kyoto suffered a severe drought. There was no serious rain for nearly half a year. There were rumors that the disaster originated in the palace. The results of the prison's divination spread even more widely, and almost half of the people in the capital went outside the palace, begging the emperor to obey God's will and eradicate evildoers..."

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters, it's really a coincidence."

"Yes, the emperor can refute civil and military officials, but he can't ignore the hearts of the people. In such an uproar, if the emperor doesn't give the people an explanation, I'm afraid those people who are encouraged will directly break into the palace. The queen and the prince are burned to sacrifice to heaven."

Su Yao's eyelashes trembled suddenly, and took a deep breath: "Burning punishment?"

"Ah."

"If only one or two people could lead natural disasters and man-made disasters, then the world would have been in chaos." Su Yao frowned, and a strong mockery flashed in his eyes, "What happened more than 20 years ago... Yufu, that prince also Burned to death together?"

"Yes, if that prince is still there, he should be ranked fifth now, the only son of the emperor."

"Is it really that coincidental?"

There are too many TV dramas, and Su Yao can always think of those bloody scripts. Hearing such stories, she can't help thinking of Chu Feiyan, who was born as an orphan, entered the imperial examination, and was 25 years old. The court, and then the emperor's princes passed away one after another, and finally had to choose an heir from the clan's children...

"Miss, what coincidence?"

"It's nothing, Yufu, do you know anything about the former queen?"

"When the empress was born, the slaves were not yet born. What I told the young lady just now was also told by some old nuns in the palace. After so many years, only the emperor knows the specific situation. "

"Then can you help me find out what the former queen looks like and what special hobbies she has?"

"Miss, why did you suddenly want to inquire about these things?" These are all taboos in the palace, the emperor has made a decree that no one is allowed to discuss them casually, even if someone knows, I am afraid they will not dare to say more.

"There is one thing I want to verify. If it really works, you will be of great help to me..." If her guess is true, then many things will have to be re-planned, and her chances of winning will be much greater.

"The servant girl can only try her best to see if she can find out for the young lady."

"Ok, thank you very much."

"I don't dare." Yufu watched Su Yao gain a foothold step by step in the embarrassment of the Queen Mother and Mu Zhenzhen, and knew that she would never aim at the target indiscriminately, maybe this matter would really cause a storm.

It has been so many years, the old people in the palace have almost left early, only some of the remaining old people have become prominent and respectable stewardesses in various palaces, it is not easy to inquire.

Fortunately, Yufu also has some contacts of her own, and finally found some clues: "Miss, this servant knows a nanny. It turns out that she served in the former empress's palace, but after the accident of the former empress, all the close maids and servants After being killed by a stick, only a few rough envoys stayed behind, and that nanny was one of them. However, she had been out of the palace for many years, and it was said that she was still insane. Now she lives in the Salesian Bureau in the south of the capital city. middle."

"The Salesian Bureau in the south of the city?"

"Yes."

Su Yao nodded: "Okay, I understand, Qingchen will return to the palace tomorrow, you go and ask him to visit Cuixuan."

"You don't need to invite your maidservants. Mr. Mu will definitely come to visit Miss when he has time." Yufu smiled on her face, with a touch of envy in her eyes. True love in the palace is not easy. Brothers and sisters are brothers and sisters. The young master is clearly aware of the difference between his concubine and concubine, but his relationship is unexpectedly good, which is already extremely rare.

"That's right." Thinking of Mu Qingchen, Su Yao's expression relaxed for a moment, "Now that he can often go out of the palace to Mr. Ninge's mansion, I can borrow some convenience and go out of the palace to find that old nanny .”

"Miss, that person is already insane, maybe he can't remember anything. It's too conspicuous that you went to the Salesian Bureau for no reason." Yufu couldn't help reminding.

Su Yao nodded: "That's true, so I can only find a good excuse. By the way, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday in a few days, right?"

"Yes, the second day of April is the Empress Dowager's birthday."

"A ready-made opportunity is here." Su Yao smiled, "Go and prepare more pens and inks. I will copy Buddhist scriptures in the next period of time. On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, I will ask someone to enshrine it in Wanhua Temple. She prays for the old man."

"Yes, the servant girl is going to prepare pen and ink now."

Su Yao concentrated on copying scriptures in the palace. Outside the palace, the news of Mu Qingchen's miserable life experience and experience quickly spread along with the news of Ninge's old apprentice.

Along with the dissemination, there is also the teacher's talk, and what Su Yao said, there is a road in the mountain of books, and there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning and hard work.

Some universities directly write down these two sentences and hang them at the door to motivate students all the time.

Pushed by the emperor, King Zhuang and others, Princess Rong, who made things difficult for Mu Qingchen, became a femme fatale, and Prince Rong, who couldn't see Mu Qingchen's understanding, became a blind man.

The good reputation that had just been established was also severely suppressed.
