The little princess of space where the concubine often eats

Chapter 105

"I won't gossip. Let's just talk about the day when the concubine was selected. The crown prince was newly established, and the queen was respected in the palace. This scene is nothing small. At that time, the whole city will have fun together, up and down. Isn't it more lively than New Year's? The patrol camp That manpower has long gone to maintain order, and the cold palace has always been relatively desolate, and it has been abandoned for many years, who cares about it." Ji Junling's brows flickered for a while, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, "I still don't care about it." I can gather some manpower, Qian Junhou is also from me, you go and contact me, he has [-] soldiers from the government, as long as he dispatches early and late, it is not easy to quietly swallow an abandoned side hall with speed and ruthlessness ?”

Xia Yushi's eyes flickered, obviously not as confident as Ji Junling, and asked in a low voice: "Then what if it fails?"

Ji Junling said coldly: "We are fighting with our backs, what else can we talk about winning or losing!"

Xia Yushi's hands tucked in his sleeves twitched involuntarily, he hurriedly stabilized his expression, and smiled reluctantly: "It's true, how can you make a big deal without taking a little risk. There are a few days, King Rui, you plan the details first, and I will discuss it with Qian Junhou as soon as possible, and if I make more preparations in advance, I will naturally be more confident."

"Then it will be hard for Mrs. Xia outside."

"There's no need to be so polite between you and me. It's getting dark, so I'll take my leave first." Xia Yushi said haha ​​twice, walked out of the dark room slowly, closed the door carefully outside, and then walked to his bed in thought house.

"Master, why did you come back to your room so late? Did you go to see that King Rui again?" As soon as entering the inner room, a charming woman with curvy eyebrows and phoenix eyes greeted Xia Yushi and undressed Xia Yushi .

"Yaozhu, why haven't you slept yet?"

"If the master doesn't come back, how can I sleep?"

Xia Yushi smiled and reached out to take her into his arms.The relationship between him and Mrs. Yuanpei is indifferent. We live in separate homes. The concubine Yaozhu is the most beloved and trusted. There is not much to hide from her.

"Every time the master went to see that King Rui, he would feel worried after he came out, which really made me uneasy. Although I am a woman, if the master has any troubles, talking to the concubine can be regarded as a kind of resolution what……"

"How would you know?" Xia Yushi leaned back on the pillow and sighed, "Ji Junling is getting more and more crazy. He is fighting to the death, but why should I gamble with him the life, future and wealth of my family?" ?”

"Didn't it mean... the master has something in his hands?"

"That's right, there is a reason..." Xia Yushi looked at the tuanhua on the top of the tent with heavy eyes, and said slowly, "But I have been thinking that it is not a way to survive being always controlled by him like this. Maybe I can Make amends, and ask for a pardon from His Royal Highness..."

Yaozhu's eyes turned brightly, and she immediately understood: "Master, you mean to hold Ji Junling down, and go to the East Palace to report, in order to take the blame and make meritorious service?"

"You're still smart," Xia Yushi flicked her face with his finger, and smiled, "Ji Junling is the person His Royal Highness wants most now, if I make this contribution, don't say erase old sins, If you're lucky, if you can keep your future, I'm afraid there is hope..."

"Master... are you sure?"

"His Royal Highness is no longer as ignorant as he was when he was King Zhao. What I committed in the hands of Ji Junling was nothing more than corruption and bribery. It has been seven or eight years, and it is not worth it. Take it to heart. If he is willing to forgive me, he will be able to take Ji Junling's confidant's trouble immediately. No matter how we balance it, he shouldn't refuse." Yaozhu's eyes were like water, and she smiled, and said softly: "If you really can It's great to be like what the master said. These days of fear and fear are really hard, the master should go to the East Palace as soon as possible to make the first complaint."

"You're right. I was seeking stability and peace. I wanted to keep this plague god in for two days. I wish I could send him away quickly. Although I knew he couldn't escape, he cheated on me. I really can't take this day anymore. I have decided that after tomorrow morning, I will go to the East Palace to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"tomorrow?"

"For such a thing, it should be sooner rather than later. Let's go tomorrow."

"Master's decision must not be wrong. Then take a sip of calming soup and rest early, and you will have to toss tomorrow." Yaozhu said, got up and went to the soup bowl that was simmering on the tea stove, and fed it to Xia Yu Shi took two sips, helped him to lie flat, and gently fanned him.

Maybe it was a decision made in his heart, a little peace, maybe the soothing soup was really effective, Xia Yushi fell into a deep sleep in less than a moment.Yaozhu waited for him to snore, then stretched out her hand and pushed his shoulder, and called him twice in a low voice. Seeing that there was no response, she immediately put down her fan, got out of bed quietly, wrapped herself in a black cloak, and floated like a phantom. It flashed out, and soon disappeared into the dark night.

The situation in the capital city during the crown prince's concubine selection ceremony seemed somewhat calm due to the rest of the old emperor and the stability of the new crown prince.In the absence of any major incidents, the sudden death of Chengtai Yushi Xia Yushi has attracted everyone's attention.

But at the beginning, this matter was not very sensational, because when the Jingzhao Yamen first reported to go to the investigation, the conclusion was "accidentally slipped and drowned".Although the drowning of a second-rank minister in the back garden of his own home is still a matter for people to talk about, it is not a big event worth being surprised.But then, the development of things gradually turned bizarre. Xia Yushi's wife insisted that she had doubts about the cause of her husband's death. The Jingzhao Yamen had no choice but to ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice to intervene.Zhang Qiang assigned a newly promoted servant to go and investigate carefully. After searching the inner courtyard and the back garden of the Xia Mansion, this person went up from the mansion to his wife and down to the maid's house. Everyone who had contact with Shi called and questioned them one by one, and the case was declared a "homicide" on the same day.

At the end of July, the wedding ceremony for the crown prince's side concubine was held as scheduled. Although several procedures such as group banquets, singing and dancing were subtracted, the prince insisted on canceling the fireworks event, but for the common people, as long as there is a mighty phoenix chariot parade It is enough to attract the whole city to watch, and the lack of joy is made up for by the uproar of human voices.

As Ji Junling said, the Leng Palace is not on the parade route of the wedding parade.Against the backdrop of the distant noise, it seemed quiet here. Until dawn, the cold palace was not invaded by any outsiders. Obviously, the harsh words that Ji Junling uttered in front of Xia Yushi that night were not really put into practice. implement.

The crown prince has been busy with the side concubine's affairs. From morning to dusk, he is basically dealing with affairs. The old emperor intends to transfer the government affairs to him, so he naturally entrusts him with all relevant affairs.

"The result we found is like this," Ji Lingchen looked at his second brother's darkened face, and secretly rejoiced that the person who was pushed to that seat was not himself. In order not to hurt his second brother, he straightened his face, "Now His name is Yuan Sen. He has been by my side for seven or eight years. He has always been deeply trusted since he was an attendant. He is also one of the few people who know about this matter. Anyone who knows the matter will not be immune to suspicion. ..."

"Just tell me the result." The prince raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't see the idiot of the troubled second brother gloating, so as not to get angry in vain. "Let's omit the reasoning process, I know."

"Yes. In the end, Yuan Sen himself admitted that he once told his wife what happened in the cold palace. We checked his wife immediately, and found nothing unusual at first. After many twists and turns, we found out that she was Ji Jun. One of the zero-cultivated women, I learned from her that they were organized into a Jianghu organization named Huanyinfang, and most of the women under it were the remaining people from the previous dynasty. After Yu's accident, he was taken over by Ji Junling in private, and all the forces in the previous dynasty were also taken over by him..."

"Front court?" The prince's eyes moved slightly, "It's the previous court again..."

"Yes, the Xia Yushi who drowned before the crown prince chose his concubine, and his favorite concubine was also such a woman. Although she hid her identity very deeply, she was eventually found out by the Ministry of Justice."

The prince's face slowly became frosty, and he sighed: "The former dynasty has been wiped out for these years, but their influence cannot be ignored until now. After all, there is more than one Xuanyuan Mingyu in the former dynasty... ..."

"Speaking of which, the former dynasty has been destroying the country for so long, and there are still people who are so concerned about restoring the country with great enthusiasm. What do they think? Is it not good to live a stable life now? It's really weird." Pei Zihua interjected road. "From the merits of the dragon, the beliefs of the previous dynasties are not only collected in books. What's so strange?" The prince twisted the corner of his clothes and said slowly, "These two things seem to be unrelated, but they are both involved. The women in Huanyinfang, you might as well get together for a while and think about it. Ji Junling threw away his wife for power... He has a lot of relationship with the previous court, I always have a feeling that he seems to be still in the capital..."

Pei Zihua agreed: "I also think so, the search outside is so strict, but he has not been caught, then it is very likely that he has never left the capital at all, but is hiding somewhere that will not be searched. Such as Yushifu and so on..."

Ji Lingchen glanced at him, "Who told me that Ji Junling's clues have been found outside and are sending people to investigate?"

"I've checked...it's the smoke screen put by that old thing..." Pei Zihua said sullenly, "If I hadn't rushed to see you at that time, I wouldn't have been fooled by such a fool, what a shame... "

The prince couldn't help laughing.Comfortingly said: "Okay, this is not a shame, at most it is a loss of face."

Pei Zihua rolled his eyes in doubt for a while.Fang asked: "Isn't losing face and losing face the same thing?"

"Really?" The prince thought for a while.Nodding, "It seems to be the same thing."

Ji Yun sat on his knee, grinning, Pei Zihua stretched out his hand and twisted it, and said, "You little guy. Are you happy to see your father angry with me?"

"Yes!" Ji Yun's cheeks were wrung out of shape, but he still answered loudly, and the people next to him were immediately caught laughing.

"Okay, I don't have the same knowledge as you guys. Anyway, no matter how much face I lose, I will get it back several times." Pei Zihua raised his chin and said, "Listen, my lord, I will take care of Ji Junling now. He is hiding in the I can also dig him out of the mouse hole, so you don't have to worry about it, do you hear me?"

The prince knew his good intentions.With a slight smile, he agreed.

This has dragged on for more than a month, and there is still no news about Ji Junling. Even Pei Zihua can't help but sigh, Ji Junling is too cunning, and there is no news about him. It can be seen how much strength he has hidden these years. However, with the change of Yu Mingcheng, I am afraid that it will not be easy to bring him down. If he waits for the new crown prince to take over and then convict him again, it may be difficult to convince the hearts of the people in the world.

After returning to Prince Jing's Mansion, Ji Lingchen felt a little tired, supported Qin Anan, and was thinking of lying down on the couch, when the door rang, Pei Zihua swaggered in, with a mysterious smile on his face, triumphantly said : "There is good news, do you want to guess?"

He didn't ask people if they wanted to listen, but asked if they wanted to guess. It was obvious from a glance that he was a little bored now.Ji Lingchen didn't bother to pay attention to him, and when he closed his eyes, he fell down.

"Guess, guess." Pei Zihua rushed over and dragged him up, "I found that your luck has been very strong recently, and you seem to want to get what you want. This good news is definitely icing on the cake for you. I will let you guess three times." !"

Ji Lingchen stared fixedly at his eyes full of smiles, his heart suddenly moved, and he lost his voice: "Have you caught Ji Junling?"

Pei Zi painted a serious face, very dissatisfied and said: "Didn't I ask you to guess three times?"

Qin Anan said happily from the side: "Once!"

Pei Zihua turned around and stared at her, "Your husband guessed it right once, and it wasn't you who guessed it. What are you proud of?"

"Don't bully An An," Ji Lingchen pulled his arm over, "Tell me, how did you catch him? Where is he now?"

Pei Zihua stretched out a slap and turned over in front of Ji Lingchen.

"An Yi!" Ji Lingchen gave Pei Zihua a helpless glance, and shouted out, "Bring the 1000 taels of silver and come in!"

There was a response from outside the room, and after a while, An Yi pushed the door open and entered, the bank note in his hand looked quite new, "Sovereign, here is the bank note, what are you going to do?" "Give it to him," Ji Lingchen said with a hand. He pointed at Pei Zihua with his chin, "He is now Zaifu You's favorite son-in-law, and he has obtained a new official position in the court. Unlike in the past, he charged money for answering questions. I asked two questions just now, and he bid Five hundred, two are naturally one thousand..."

Pei Zihua eagerly took the banknote from Anyi's hand, unfolded it to verify the authenticity, and said with a smile: "I originally bid 50 taels each, but you, Prince Jing, are so rich that you insisted on giving me one." Qian, I have no choice but to be disrespectful." An Yi looked at Pei Zihua with contemptuous eyes, already admiring his brazenness.

?? "Okay, I'll answer you after receiving the money," Pei Zihua put the bank note in his arms contentedly. "The people who will protect Ji Junling are no more than three types, the former court, the hidden stakes of the old ministry, and those who are caught by him. With so many directions, it is not difficult to find out. He was finally caught by me in a nunnery. Found it. Let me tell you, catching Ji Junling is a trivial matter, the key is that there is a very beautiful little nun in the nunnery, and I plan to make her famous next year..."

"Where is it locked?"
