Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 149 Xuan Ting's death is related to you! 1
Today is Laba, and the palace is preparing for the royal family banquet in the Cining Palace tonight.

In the morning, Princess Antai came out of Zichen Palace and came directly to Yongning Palace. She had something to talk to Xinyi about.

After retreating from everyone, Princess Antai said directly to Xinyi: "Xuanting's death is related to you!"

Xinyi was full of doubts. She couldn't believe what An Tai said, but she was a little shaken. Could there be something she didn't know?
An Tai glanced at her, put down his teacup, and said, "The emperor won't let Xuan Ting's rebellion be investigated, but what Xuan Ting has done is indeed suspected of rebellion. King Yu supports him, King Mu supports him, and even Yang Dezhang supports him." , such a person, if he said that he did not rebel, who would believe it?"

"But, he gave up in the end, didn't he? He didn't do anything, so of course he can stop pursuing it!" Xinyi said.

An Tai said without any emotion: "With him here, some people have unreasonable thoughts. No matter whether he does it or not in the end, he is already guilty. Once he wants to usurp the throne, even Not doing anything is also a felony." She smoothed her front, "Unless you succeed, you will be cast aside forever!"

Xinyi swallowed subconsciously.

An Tai looked at her and smiled, and said, "You should understand what I'm talking about! Can you also guess why Xuan Ting died?"

Listening to what An Tai meant, could it be said that the person who killed Xuan Ting was——

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Xinyi immediately dismissed the idea, but how could Antai know the person Xinyi suspected?

"Don't make wild guesses, the emperor would not do that kind of thing!" An Tai said, "The emperor likes you, but he doesn't want to kill Xuan Ting for you!"

"No, I didn't think so!" Xinyi denied.

An Tai seemed to see through her heart, and said: "If Xuan Ting does not leave the capital, it will be very difficult for the murderer to strike. He gave up the conspiracy for you, and left the capital for you, so that the murderer has an opportunity. So , I just said that he died because of you."

It was not the first time Xinyi had heard this, she was once again overwhelmed by the pity and guilt towards Xuan Ting, she lowered her head and rubbed her clothes with both hands.

"No one will pursue his death except you now!" An Tai sighed.

Just as Xinyi was about to open her mouth, she was interrupted by Antai.

"You want to say that the emperor will investigate, don't you?" Antai said, smiling meaningfully, and said, "Now that the court situation is complicated, the emperor will never have the energy to ask Xuan Ting's affairs. From his standpoint , It is very rare to be able to let Xuan Ting go like this, even if he doesn't care about who killed Xuan Ting, no one will say anything wrong with him."

Yes, Antai was right!
"What about other people, who do you think is willing to pursue it? Lafayette? She won't make troubles. King Yu won't care about this matter. As for the ministers, who is willing to let themselves and those who have rebellion Do you think that King Yi has something to do with it? There’s no time to hide!” An Tai said, sighing, “So, now you are the only one to do this.”

"But, how do I check? I can't get out of the palace—" Xinyi said.

An Tai got up, walked to her slowly, held her hand, and said with a smile, "I'm still there! As I said, I will help you."

Xinyi stood up and looked at Antai suspiciously.

"That guy Xuan Ting, although he doesn't have much contact with me, is so good with that idiot brother of my family. I'm not reconciled to letting the murderer get away with it like this!" An Tai smiled, "It's just that, you know, there is a lot of turmoil right now. , I am also afraid that some people will drag me into treason."

Xinyi nodded, and Antai said, "I know you want to investigate, and I want to investigate too. We can cooperate."

"This is what I should do, sister, you—" Xinyi wanted to say thank you, and Antai also expected it, and said with a smile, "You and my sister, why are you so unreasonable?"

Although she doesn't have much contact with Antai, Xinyi knows that Antai is a very scheming person with a slick face, and now she offers to help her investigate Xuan Ting's matter, which is definitely not for a simple purpose.Antai must have a purpose in doing things.

"Then what should I do?" Xinyi asked.

An Tai pulled her to sit down, and said: "My people already have some clues, but if we want to conduct an in-depth investigation now, there must be someone to support it, otherwise the murderer will find out and report to the emperor, and I will fall into it." If I don’t do it well, the murderer will strike me back, and I will be finished.”

Xinyi nodded, Antai was justified in worrying.

"And if you take the lead in this matter, even if you go to the emperor, others will not be able to catch it at all, because you are Xuanting's widow, and it is only right for you to avenge him. The affection between the emperor and you will also Let the murderer have some scruples, so that we can bring that murderer to justice!"

Seeing that Xinyi agreed with his idea, Antai couldn't help showing a smile.

"However, there is still someone who can help us!" An Tai said.

"Who?"

"It's the chief manager Chunsheng who guards the mausoleum of the ancestor!"

As soon as An Tai mentioned this name, Xinyi began to have deep doubts, did An Tai really want to avenge Xuan Ting?Or is she and Chunsheng in the same group?

"Chunsheng?" Although she began to doubt Antai's purpose, Xinyi still pretended not to know anything and asked, "Why do you want him to help?"

Antai got it wrong this time. She thought Xinyi had completely followed the train of thought she set up, so she told her the reason: "Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs is only in charge of the affairs of the inner court, they can affect the court. It has a great influence. You should still remember Zhou Ming back then. Yang Dezhang recognized Zhou Ming as his godson in order to control the Ministry of Internal Affairs, thereby strengthening his control over the court, but now the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in the hands of Liu Huai. Liu Huai He is not on the same path as us, he belongs to King Yu."

"People from King Yu? So what? Could it be that the murderer is related to King Yu?" Xinyi asked.

An Tai said: "According to the reports I have received, King Yu is the most suspicious person, especially regarding Xuanying's matter. Now, King Yu is calling the shots in the court, and the officials dare not speak out. What about the emperor? I can't do anything to King Yu openly, I can only endure it like this. In the inner court, the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs must obey King Yu's words. You said, King Yu is attacking from both inside and outside, isn't he the same as Yang Dezhang? ? The emperor was finally able to govern himself, but in the end he couldn’t decide anything.”

Although Xinyi is not very clear about the affairs in the court, but based on the occasional revelations of Ming Xuanyu, what An Tai said is basically true.

"You said, whether it's to avenge Xuan Ting, or for the emperor to take power himself as soon as possible, we have to clean up King Yu." An Tai said.

"Could it be that King Yu harmed the lord?" Xinyi asked, because hearing what An Tai said, it seemed that there was already a corroborating evidence.

"He's the most suspicious." An Tai said, perhaps feeling that Xinyi didn't believe him, An Tai then said, "If you don't push him into a corner, do you think he will be exposed?"

"Sister, we are the only ones who can do these things. You, me, Mingyue, Chunsheng, and many others, we all want to bring King Yu back to his original form." An Tai said.

"My people will continue to investigate Xuan Ting's affairs in secret, Mingyue will monitor Yu Wang's actions in Yu Wang's mansion, and you, as long as you support us in the palace!" An Tai said.

Xinyi thought, An Tai was trying to suppress Prince Yu by investigating Xuan Ting's affairs, but, was she doing this out of her own selfishness, or the emperor's intention?If it was the emperor's intention, why didn't he tell me?
"But, let Chunsheng come back, sister, can't you just tell the emperor? Why do you have to tell me?" Xinyi asked.

An Tai showed a helpless expression, sighed, and said: "Sister, you were able to fulfill the emperor's entrustment without Yang Dezhang's eyes and ears, why are you so confused now?"

"I—" Xinyi opened her mouth, An Tai waved her hand, and said, "The emperor can't tolerate King Yu being so powerful in the court, but he can't let King Yu know his thoughts, otherwise it will be easy to startle the snake. So, we have to do it for you." The emperor will do this."

Xinyi nodded half-understood, she knew the relationship between Princess Antai and the emperor, and knew that they had fought together for many years to bring down Yang Dezhang, so she believed what Princess Antai said.

"There are still some loyal ministers in the imperial court, but now everyone dare not confront King Yu head-on, and I can't either, because if we do that, King Yu will know that the emperor will deal with him. His efforts were in vain," Antai said.

"And Xuan Ting's case is a good breakthrough, because Yu Wang is the biggest suspect. And you are the best supporter of investigating this matter." An Tai said, "You are in the open, we are in the dark, the emperor If we don't say anything in the middle, we can eradicate King Yu."

"In this way, you will be in danger. You are in the palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is directly involved. Therefore, we have to let Chunsheng come back. As soon as Chunsheng comes back, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can hold Liu Huai's power. He can protect you and protect the emperor. Besides, Chunsheng has served as chief executive for many years, and he is also very well connected in the court. He can do many things that you and I cannot do." An Tai said.

"I asked you to tell the emperor about Chunsheng. First, it is for the emperor's great event. Second, it is also to let Chunsheng appreciate your kindness and work for you in the future. Think about it, you don't have any influence in the harem now. , what will you do if someone harms you? Don't think that the emperor will always protect you, and there are many things the emperor cannot do. You build your own power, and in that way, others will not be able to harm you!" An Tai said, staring at you. With Xinyi.

Xinyi has been thinking about Antai's words, and now Xinyi can't find a single flaw in these words.She suspected that An Tai did this for herself, but when she thought about it carefully when she told the emperor about An Tai and Ming Yue that day, judging from the emperor's reaction, he knew about it.In this way, is Antai doing things for the emperor?
Indeed, there are many things that the emperor cannot come forward, and someone must do it according to his wishes, so that it is safe for the emperor.
