Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 65
"Well, Xi'er, thank you, Father." Yu Haoxi said tearfully, his appearance was extremely pitiful.

"Okay, father still has some political affairs to deal with, so I can't stay here with you anymore, so let your mother accompany you more." The emperor glanced at the queen beside him.

"En." Yu Haoxi nodded obediently.

The reason why the emperor loves Yu Haoxi the most among the many princesses is not because her mother is a queen, but because she is cute, smart, and the look in her eyes is very similar to someone.

On the second day, what happened in Fengqing Palace shocked everyone again.

In the morning, when everyone was still asleep, there was a scream from a servant's room.

Everyone rushed to the courtyard, only to find that on an old tree in the courtyard, a eunuch wearing a eunuch uniform had hanged on it, and in his room, a letter was found, the general content of which was He held a grudge against Princess Min because he was hit by a board, so he secretly sprinkled the ten-day red brought in from outside the palace on the princess's daily handkerchief as revenge.It's just that he didn't expect that the matter would be exposed so soon. In order not to hurt his family, he finally chose to commit suicide and apologize.

You must know that murdering the princess is to punish the nine clans, but it is obvious that this father-in-law underestimated the authority of the royal family.

This matter spread to the emperor's ears, and in the end it still ended up killing everyone.

This poisoning incident came to an end, and since then, no one has mentioned it again.And Shangguan Wanchun's ban was also lifted.

Chonghua Palace.

"Miss, the real culprit has been brought to justice, why are you still so preoccupied?" Yan Cui vividly told Shangguan Wanchun about the father-in-law's suicide in fear of crime, but after she finished speaking, Shangguan Wanchun Not only did he not show a smile on his face, but his frown became more and more tight, and he couldn't help asking suspiciously.

"It's nothing." Shangguan Wanchun said lightly, even if she said some words, Yan Cui might not understand, she might as well keep it in her heart.

As for the matter of Yu Haoxi's poisoning, she always felt that it was a little strange, plus it was only a day later that the real culprit was brought to justice, and it was for such a ridiculous reason, which made her suspicious.

Who could it be?Shangguan Wanchun asked again in his heart.

"Miss?" Seeing that Shangguan Wanchun was distracted again, Yan Cui couldn't help but gently pushed her arm.

"Yancui, I'm hungry, go and make me something to eat."

"Yes."

It was just dawn, and most people were still deep in sleep, but at this time on the street, an unremarkable carriage slowly passed by the front street.

A little whiteness gradually appeared in the dark sky, and the sky would be bright in a short time.

Inside the carriage, the lights were brightly lit, as bright as daytime, and looking over, one could vaguely see figures swaying in the carriage.

"Miss, although it's only half an hour's journey, you should take a break." Yan Cui yawned as she spoke.

Shangguan Wanchun came back to her senses, smiled lightly, and said, "Go to sleep, I'm not tired."

Yan Cui was not polite, she directly moved her body back, then leaned against the frame of the car, and slowly closed her eyes.

She was indeed exhausted, remembering that she had seldom slept in the past few days, her body had been in a tense state, and she was terrified for herself day and night, thinking of this, a trace of unbearable flashed in Shangguan Wanchun's eyes, it was really embarrassing she is gone.

Looking at Yan Cui's sleeping face, Shangguan Wanchun fell into deep thought again.

Speaking of the poisoning incident of Princess Min Yu Haoxi, for some reason, on the second day after the incident, news came from Fengqing Palace that the father-in-law and the young genius committed suicide in fear of crime. Although the incident was strange, the emperor did not order to continue the investigation , this matter is left alone.

She is used to seeing life and death, to seeing conspiracy and framing, but when all this really happened to Shangguan Wanchun, she was still a little shocked and worried in her heart.After all, this is in ancient times, in the era of autocracy where all emperors have the final say, not in the era of peace and democracy. To be precise, all powerful forces have the final say. If there is really no father-in-law and young talent who commit suicide in fear of crime, maybe she will The crime of murdering the princess was really confirmed.She was not afraid of death, but she didn't want to die like this. At least, even if she was going to die, she had to die with dignity.

A calm sea is often a harbinger of a storm.Although the poisoning incident has just passed, she has to take precautions before it happens. You know, there is still a long time before she gets married. During this period, no one knows what will happen, and she is already tired of this palace. If possible, she would like to leave the palace and stay away from these disputes.In such an environment, Shangguan Wanchun suddenly thought of a person, a person arranged by his eldest brother Shangguan Gaoyang in the palace, more precisely, the prince's person.

She remembered that when Shangguan Gao Yang was leaving that day, he told her that if she had anything to ask him, she could tell Xiao Lin that Xiao Lin belonged to the prince, and telling the prince was equivalent to telling him, and he would find a way to go to Chonghua Palace again. Come.

Xiao Lin was the maid brought by Manager Li after she moved into the Chonghua Palace, but she never thought that the woman named Xiao Lin would be the prince's person. There are conspiracies everywhere, if you are not careful, you may fall into the vortex of power struggle, and she doesn't want to be a victim, she just wants to live the life of an ordinary person.

After some deliberation, Shangguan Wanchun still found Xiaolin and told her that she embroidered a purse for her mother and wanted to ask her elder brother Shangguan Gaoyang to take it back.And Xiao Lin, without further ado, agreed directly.

Shangguan Wanchun originally thought that it would take many days to see her elder brother Shangguan Gaoyang, but within a day, on the morning of the second day, Shangguan Gaoyang and the crown prince appeared in Chonghua Palace.

In words, Shangguan Wanchun expressed her longing for her mother Tang Lanhui, but how could Shangguan Gao Yang, who is as smart as him, not know what happened in the Heavenly Palace these days?The brother and sister talked for a while like last time, then Shangguan Gao Yang and the prince left.

Only a few days later, Eunuch Li came to Chonghua Palace with the imperial decree.

"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that the prime minister, Shangguan, and his wife, Shangguan Tang, have been bedridden for several days because of missing their daughter. I think of Princess Chaohua's filial piety, and I specially order her to return to the mansion to take care of her mother until she recovers. This is my admiration. "

She didn't know how to accept the imperial edict, how to thank her, let alone how to enter the room.

Her mind was full of her mother's illness, and when she calmed down, she remembered the expression of her elder brother Shangguan Gao Yang that day, and her heart slowly calmed down.Perhaps, that was just an excuse for leaving the palace, Shangguan Wanchun comforted herself, but deep down in her heart she was still worried about her mother Tang Lanhui's body.

Therefore, before dawn, Shangguan Wanchun took Yan Cui out of the palace. She didn't want to stay in this palace that eats people and doesn't spit out bones. She didn't want to stay any longer. Her heart had already flown To the outside of the palace, the free sky is her world.

It was already dawn, and the carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Woo!" The driver pulled the reins, and after the carriage stopped, he turned his head and said to the people in the carriage, "Princess, the prime minister's residence is here."

The voice of the coachman awakened Yan Cui from her sleep. I don't know if it was because of a nightmare or because she was frightened in the palace. beads of sweat.

She forgot that she was in a carriage, so it was no surprise that she jumped up suddenly, and her head hit the roof of the carriage, only to hear her ouch in pain, and then sat down covering the top of her head.

Shangguan Wanchun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled knowingly, and asked with concern: "Is there no pain?"

"No, no." Yan Cui replied in embarrassment, her face flushed.

Shangguan Wanchun smiled faintly, "Be careful in the future, don't get up so violently."

"Yes, Miss, Miss Xie is concerned, and the slave will be careful in the future." Yan Cui replied with a blushing face.

Seeing Shangguan Wanchun standing up gracefully, and then bent over to walk towards the car door, Yan Cui asked suspiciously: "Miss, are you home yet?"

"En." Shangguan Wanchun nodded.

Yan Cui didn't seem to believe it, so she opened the curtain at hand all at once, and when she saw the three characters "Prime Minister's Mansion" on the door plaque, she happily closed her mouth from ear to ear, and the expressions on her face were even more varied. Said: "Finally home."

Shangguan Wanchun didn't expect Yan Cui's reaction to be so strong, it seems that not only she doesn't like the palace, but Yan Cui is probably afraid of the palace, Shangguan Wanchun said in her heart.

Before Shangguan Wanchun could react, Yan Cui lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, and then she turned around and stretched out her hand to Shangguan Wanchun.

"Thank you for sending us back. This is for you. It is not a respect. Please accept it." Shangguan Wanchun smiled lightly and stuffed the only ingot of silver left in his hand into the driver's hand.

The coachman didn't refuse, as if these were commonplace for him, he took them respectfully, smiled obsequiously and said: "I thank the princess for the reward, and if there is nothing else, I will go back to the palace first."

"Well, please, father-in-law." Shangguan Wanchun still said with a light smile.

After seeing the carriage disappearing from sight, Yan Cui looked at Shangguan Wanchun suspiciously, wondering why she refused to enter the door after arriving home.

"Miss, let's go back."

The moment Shangguan Wanchun got off the car, the servants standing at the door recognized her. One of them came down the stairs to salute and greet her respectfully, while the other ran in quickly to inform the master.

Knowing that Shangguan Wanchun will return to the mansion today, Shangguanhe specifically told his servants to notify him as soon as the lady returns.

The servant who ran through the door just now turned back and whispered something in his ear.The man kept nodding his head, and then he turned his head to look at him, and said respectfully: "Miss, the master knows that you are going back to the mansion today, so I specially didn't go to the morning court today, and has been waiting for you in the study." Shangguan Wan The fact that Chun was conferred the title of Zhenguo Chaohua Princess was only a private matter, so except for a few people who knew about it, no one else knew about it. That's why the servants at the door called her Miss, not Princess.

Didn't father go to the morning court?Shangguan Wanchun asked suspiciously.

Under the guidance of that servant, Shangguan Wanchun walked towards the study in the main courtyard.

dong dong dong.

Shangguan Wanchun stood at the door of the study, hesitated for a moment, raised her hand and knocked on the door, and said, "Father."

"Come in."

With a creak, the door opened.

I saw Shangguan sitting on a chair in casual clothes, with a look of exhaustion in his brows and eyes, mixed with a little sadness.

Shangguan Wanchun was taken aback for a moment, and before she could speak, Shangguanhe got up from the chair, then walked up to her, saluted respectfully and said, "Shangguanhe greets Princess Chaohua, and the princess is a thousand years old!"

"Father, you have spoiled my daughter. You know, Chun'er is not a real princess." Shangguan Wanchun said calmly. It has to be said that for a moment, Shangguan Wanchun didn't know how to react.
