imperial concubine

Chapter 224
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her face, the female thief couldn't help feeling a little complacent.Although she traveled all over the world before, she has never received the attention of so many nobles, and today is the first time in the world.

Seeing the look on the female thief's face, Fang Yuanli snorted heavily.The look on the female thief's face instantly subsided, and then said honestly: "My employer is the eldest lady of the Yuan family among the four major families today, Yuan Yilan."

Hearing this name, Concubine Shu's eyes widened suddenly, and the second concubine even threw the teacup on the ground by mistake.Everyone present did not have a smile on Su Wan's face.It's just that Su Wan lowered her head a long time ago, and no one saw this smile.

The joy in the Queen's eyes flashed away, and then she asked sternly: "Don't gossip, the Yuan family is one of the four major families, how could you have such thoughts of rebellion? If you don't tell the truth again, I will kill you I'm going to punish you!"

With just one sentence, the queen dragged the entire Yuan family in.Originally, the Yuan family could still be able to cut off the wrists of a strong man, completely distinguishing Yuan Yilan from the Yuan family, but being supplemented by the queen, there is no chance of turning over again.

Sure enough, when the female thief saw that the queen didn't believe her words, she quickly said: "Everything you say is true. After entering Beijing, you lived in the Yuan family. And you still have a letter written by the lady of the Yuan family!"

If there is really a handwritten letter, then the Yuan family can only do nothing but wait to die.Not only that, all the forces of the Yuan family in the court, including the forces of Concubine Shu, will be implicated in this matter, and they will never stand up again.

Concubine Shu was decisively aware of the queen's intentions, and immediately said: "The female thief, don't talk nonsense! I think my original family has been loyal and good for generations, how could it be possible to do such a rebellious thing?"

No matter what the matter is now, it is the best choice to remove yourself from this matter first, otherwise, Concubine Shu can only end up with a decapitated body, and no one will pity her.

Hearing Concubine Shu's words, the queen smiled and said: "Concubine Shu, don't worry, since she said she has a letter written by herself, you can tell if it's true or not after you take it." Then she asked the guards to go to the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion to arrest the woman. The thief brought everything with him.

When I took it out, I found that, as expected, the letter was in Yuan Yilan's handwriting.Now the factual evidence is convincing, the poisoning of the crown prince was indeed controlled by the Yuan family behind the scenes, with the assistance of the second prince and concubine.

Seeing that the matter finally came to light, the queen said coldly: "Come here, take the second concubine and concubine Shu into the undecided prison and imprison them. After your majesty returns to Beijing, please let your majesty decide."

Hearing the Queen's words, Concubine Shu stood up and looked at the Queen and said, "Who dares to do it?" Seeing that everyone around her was frightened by herself, Concubine Shu continued: "This is completely slander. If you do something, you will be allowed to come to the Japanese Palace." Your Majesty will behead you for public display!"

Although everyone now knows that this incident must have been done by Concubine Shu and the second concubine, but no one dares to do anything.After all, now that the crown prince is dead, the second prince might still be able to ascend to the Great Treasure, and everyone wants to be on the winning side.

Fang Yuanli on the side looked at the aggressive Concubine Shu, and said coldly: "Do it! Such a disobedient person dares to mention His Majesty, it is simply shameless! If you really still have His Majesty in your heart, you should plead guilty." Fufa is it!"

The few guards in front of the hall heard Fang Yuanli's words, looked at the queen's face, then walked up to Concubine Shu and said, "Concubine Shu has offended you!" Concubine Shu was bound and pressed to the ground.

Looking at the concubine Shu and the second concubine who were kneeling on the ground, the queen sneered and said, "You two should have been executed immediately for being so insane, but His Majesty is not in Beijing right now, so I will let you live a few more days! Come on, Put these two into the dungeon!"

The guards suddenly agreed, and then the second concubine and concubine Shu were dragged down.The queen looked at the silent concubines in the main hall, and said with a sneer: "The original family has evil intentions, and actually did such a rebellious thing, Fang Aiqing, let you handle this matter! Remember, you can't get rid of one person, Especially the eldest lady of the Yuan family, Yuan Yilan!"

Fang Yuanli naturally knew what the empress meant, the crown prince died of poison, not to mention Yuan Yilan, even the nine clans are all normal.It just depends on how His Majesty will deal with it after returning to the palace.

After finishing all these matters, the queen said to Su Wan: "The fourth concubine suffered a lot before, and I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send you more things to make up for it. If there is anything in the future, come to Ben The palace is."

Obviously, after the second concubine and concubine Shu were taken down, Su Wan had successfully gained the queen's trust. More importantly, it seemed that only the fourth prince was the most likely to become the new prince.That's why the queen is so polite.

Su Wan smiled lightly and said, "Thank you Empress Empress for your kindness. The previous incidents were trivial matters, and Empress Empress doesn't have to keep them in mind. This time, Empress Empress cleared Su Wan's grievances, it should be Su Wan who thanked Empress Empress."

Everyone greeted each other in the palace for a while, and then went back to the palace.Today is the new crown prince's funeral, there are still many things to do in the palace, and more importantly, the concubines in each palace should prepare gifts and go to Yiliang Palace to take a good look at Su Wan.

When Su Wan returned to Yiliang Palace, the palace was already filled with all kinds of gifts, all sent from other palaces.Su Wan took a look, and most of them were Concubine Shu's cronies in the past. Now that Concubine Shu has fallen, they will naturally choose someone to join again.

After looking through the list, Su Wan confirmed that there was no problem, so Su Wan asked Zhuru to accept all the gifts.Looking at the piles of presents, Su Wan knew that in the future, he and the queen would be the ones to fight against each other in the harem.

Soon, the news of the prince's death from poison had reached the ears of Emperor Chongwen, and Emperor Chongwen also knew about the Queen's treatment.As soon as he received the news, he immediately arranged for manpower to arm the frontier, and then rushed back to the capital with his manpower.

On the second day after Emperor Chongwen set off, the fourth prince led his army to a complete victory, forcing Liang to raise a white flag to negotiate peace with Emperor Chongwen.The fourth prince received the order of Emperor Chongwen and ordered to stick to the current border, waiting for the Daliang people to come to Beijing for peace talks.

Seven days later, Emperor Chongwen had appeared in the capital.After reporting all the recent things to Emperor Chongwen, Fang Yuanli asked blankly, "Your Majesty, what should the Second Prince do?"

Ever since Concubine Shu and the second prince were sent to prison, although the queen did not dare to do anything to the second prince, she still sent someone to watch him.After all, if the Second Prince had any ideas, he might be able to succeed because Emperor Chongwen was not in the capital.

Emperor Chongwen pondered for a while, and then said: "I will go to him to discuss it in detail." That afternoon, Emperor Chongwen went into Shangjin Palace in person and had a long talk with the second prince for half a day. The second prince suddenly died of a sudden illness that night.

After all this, the fourth prince led his army back to Beijing to accept the reward. After the crown prince and the second prince died one after another, the fourth prince, who was the least likely to be, finally ascended to the throne of the prince, and Emperor Chongwen announced all this in the reward world.

Back in Yiliang Palace, the fourth prince dismissed all the servants, bowed deeply to Su Wan and said, "Thank you for your teaching, sir. If it wasn't for your guidance, I am afraid that the person who died inexplicably should be me."

Although the second prince said that he died of a sudden illness, the fourth prince knew in his heart that he was forced to death by his father.If I hadn't listened to Su Wan's advice and asked Ying to fight, I should have one of the bones in the capital now.

Hearing the fourth prince's words, Su Wan said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, don't speak prematurely. In my opinion, His Highness is far from the time to rest easy. Not only that, His Highness is in extreme danger now !"

The fourth prince turned pale with shock when he heard Su Wan's words, and after thinking carefully for a while, he said: "Right now, the father has only two heirs, me and the third prince. The third prince has never had any intention of going to court. If the father doesn't choose me, who else can he choose?"

Su Wan shook her head and said: "Even though the third prince has no intention of political affairs, isn't your highness afraid that other princes will succeed in the future? Your majesty likes your highness now, but it doesn't mean you will like your highness in the future. Your highness must be on guard."

Hearing Su Wan's words, the fourth prince was taken aback.He knew that after he had made great achievements in battle, his father was already very wary of him, and recently his father liked the seventh prince very much. Although the seventh prince was still young, he was already able to speak well at such a young age and was very talented.

Thinking of this, the fourth prince and concubine asked softly: "In your opinion, what should I do?" Su Wan said softly: "Use heavy troops, Qing Jun's side, and then ask His Majesty to abdicate, and then His Highness ascends the throne, so naturally you can sit back and relax."

After thinking about it for half a year, the fourth prince finally decided to follow Su Wan's advice and raise troops to force the palace.It's just that during the forced palace, Emperor Chongwen was slandered for a short time, and Huo Jing, who was originally extremely loyal to Emperor Chongwen, suddenly played the banner of bringing order out of chaos, and supported the former prince Chen Yutian to become a great treasure again.Only two days after the pole was lifted, the whole country responded.

Not long after, Huo Jing led his army into the imperial city, captured the fourth prince alive, and tied the dying Emperor Chongwen before Chen Yutian.In the past, the man in Huo Jing's backyard was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and he was already a majestic emperor.

What surprised the Fourth Prince the most was that Su Wan, who contributed the most in these matters and should have knelt on the ground like himself, sat unceremoniously on the left side of Chen Yutian.Seeing this scene, the fourth prince asked in disbelief: "Why? Why is this?"

Su Wan unceremoniously revealed all her plans, including secretly conniving at the second prince's concubine to poison the prince, and using the fourth prince's mind to instigate him to usurp the throne.But in fact, Su Wan had already united with Huo Jing and other courtiers loyal to the Chen Dynasty to rise up and wipe out all the chaotic officials and thieves who have been sitting in the world for three years!
After saying all this, Su Wan solemnly brought Chen Yutian to a secret place in the palace, and said to Chen Yutian: "In the past, Sister Ling and I were friends of Jinlan. The secret letter told me that the Chuan Guo Yuxi is here, and now that you have brought order out of the chaos, the Chuan Guo Yuxi should also return to its place. Please also take out the Yuxi with your own hands to set the record straight!"

Hearing Su Wan's words, Chen Yutian's face was full of tears. He didn't expect that his sister, who had been dead for three years, could still help him restore the country.Excited, Chen Yutian immediately took out the jade seal, and canonized Su Wan as the eldest princess of the Chen Dynasty, along with Chen Jinghuang.

It's just that Su Wan didn't care about these things. After Chen Yutian became proficient in government affairs, Su Wan went away with Huo Jing to enjoy the happiness in the world, leaving only the legend of a legendary woman handed down in the streets and alleys.
