"Did I listen to who said that?" Ruoyin, Ruoqin and other Gongren Dong consciously stopped the movements in their legs. The bedroom was quiet for a moment. Sheng Weiqiao took a deep breath. When he asked that question, his eyes were already cold. To Rong Juan's wet nurse.
The wet nurse's face turned red with fright, and she knelt down in panic: "Your Majesty, I have never said anything like that in front of the Prince's Palace!"
Whether the wet nurse had gone through many screenings before getting the opportunity to serve Rong Juan closely, her details had been checked repeatedly, so logically there would be no problem.
Sheng Weiqiao stared at her and thought for a while, then lowered his head and asked Rong Juan again, "Ruibin, good boy, tell your mother, who told me that?"
Rong Juan was very young at that time, and Sheng Weiqiao coaxed her for a long time before she could roughly describe it, which the two young waiters could piece together to understand.
"Your Majesty, please go check it out!" After hearing this, the young queen's face darkened, and she asked for help in a deep voice.
Because when this happened, Sheng Weiqiao looked very bad.
After dressing up in this way, she had breakfast and took the phoenix chariot to Zai Lin Garden. Everyone saw her expression and exchanged glances with each other. They all said that the queen knew that her time was running out, so she could not pretend to be calm on the outside.
A royal banquet has its own rituals, and the one tomorrow will be nothing new for those who have attended it, not to mention that the Queen and the Crown Prince have major changes in their minds, so the drinks and dishes carefully prepared by the etiquette department are very suitable for the occasion. No one paid any attention to the singing and dancing, and even the corners of their eyes and eyebrows were tacitly hesitant to speak.
The undercurrents surrounding the ministers can be understood and unspeakable. After drinking for three rounds, Rong Suihe stood up to leave the table and went to the side hall to change clothes. However, he was frowning and looking at the shy and timid girl in front of him: "Who am I?"
"Your Majesty..." The girl was about twenty-eight years old, with a face like a hibiscus and a figure like a willow. She was well-dressed and had particularly delicate makeup. She was rubbing her clothes, her cheeks were red, and she looked at him shyly. , Qiqi Ai Ai said, "My dear, do you..."
"Kill, assassin!" He was so shy that Rong Suihe suddenly turned around and ordered in a cold voice, "Call the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army to come see me. In the imperial garden, a lowly maid of unknown origin can actually kill me." Come as close as you like to me, how can we feed our trash?!"
A moment later, Xu Lianshan arrived, sweating profusely.
When Rong Suihe personally conquered Ruru, he did not take him with him. This was because besides Gongsun Xi, he was the one whom he trusted the most. He stayed in Chang'an to assist Le Yangwen and Xu Zijing, and could not take care of Sheng Weiqiao's mother and son.
Later, when discussing his merits and asking for rewards, Rong Suihe directly assigned him a great merit and jumped several levels to take charge of the imperial army, which showed his trust and reliance.
Of course, the higher the status, the greater the responsibility.
At that time, Xu Lianshan had just entered the Nuan Pavilion where Sleeping Crane was changing his clothes. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times without daring to show his anger!
Rong Suihe had changed into a robe at this moment, and was walking in front of the throne. His right leg with the yellow jade ring was tapping the armrest one by one, and he looked eastward with no expression. After a while, Xu Lianshan's cold sweat wetted his robes both inside and outside, and then he slowly said, "What's going on with that bitch?!"
"... Otherwise, the general is helpless." Xu Lianshan quickly kowtowed again and apologized, "The general did not take a good look at the Didong people, and let people leak the whereabouts of Bidong, and he got into the imperial court!"
Speaking of which, he is unlucky, because although the current Forbidden Army has undergone a major change, it is mainly composed of Wuyi Camp and Jishan Camp. However, Xu Lianshan has been in charge of Wuyi Camp before, and he is very unfamiliar with Jishan Camp, and originally Wuyi Camp and Jishan Camp focus on different directions, and they have the deliberate balance of Rong Sleeping Crane, so they get along very politely.
After discussing the merits and appreciating the rewards, everyone could see that Rong Suihe was not partial to the group of people who had followed him since he was a boy. Although most of the Jishan camp was quite calm, some people were not so convinced after all and thought that the Jishan camp had a lot to do with it. Even more so in the Wuyi camp, sleeping cranes are allowed to work on the plains.
They didn't dare to express such thoughts verbally, but they took action privately.
Xu Lianshan had only been in office for a few months. The time was urgent and the situation of the Forbidden Army Ruming was also complicated. Wouldn't a loophole be taken advantage of right away
As the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, he must take the blame for whether or not he agrees to this matter!
"Check!" At this moment, Chu Ke was trembling on the ground, not daring to say a word. After a long time, he heard Rong Suihe gently spit out a word, and then he paused in relief: "Zuo Zhi!" "
... After a while, everyone was surprised by the sudden appearance of the Imperial Guards who broke into the banquet!
At first, many people thought it was a rebellion, but after seeing the leader Xu Lianshan, they knew that it was probably Rong Suihe's intention, and they all looked at Sheng Weiqiao and her son!
Sheng Lanci and his wife, Xu Zijing and his wife, and other supporters of Sheng Weiqiao were all blushing at this moment.
But Sheng Weiqiao glanced at Xu Lianshan and others lightly, held Rong Juan next to him on his knees, stretched out his legs to block his eyes, and said softly: "Ruibin, dear, tell the queen mother, how many fruits are there on the plate in front of me?" "
While coaxing her son to count the fruits, she squinted her eyes and looked at Xu Lianshan in the wrong direction.
Xu Lianshan quickly looked away after a brief moment of eye contact, bowed to her, and finally stood up straight, saying in a deep voice: "Shi Qiu, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, intends to kill the emperor, and by your Majesty's order, the whole family is taken to the imperial prison. Get to the bottom of it!”
When those words came out, there was an uproar in the palace!
Shi Qiufeng was a teacher in Rong Suihe's class after the great purge of the dynasty. He was born in the third flower of Xuan Jing Dynasty. He originally worked in the Ministry of Rites, so his official position was not high.
After the great purge, there were many vacancies in high-level positions. Rong Suihe ordered Le Yangwen to preside over the recommendation. Le Yangwen recommended him after inspection.
That man had achieved the highest ranking in the imperial examination, but his official career had always been unsatisfactory. In the final analysis, it was because he had always remained neutral in the intrigues between the Meng family and the empress dowager.
Therefore, he was squeezed by both sides at the same time, and there was no chance of promotion at all.
After receiving Le Yangwen's recommendation and Rong Suihe's approval, I was very excited and expressed my loyalty many times.
At that time, it was actually thought that he was planning to kill the king. While everyone was shocked and confused, Tudong consciously thought, could it be that that person was not actually Tai Zaihuang or the secret agent of the Meng family? He had been buried for many years and deceived everyone. past
Shi Qiu's family, on the other hand, was shocked and cried out for injustice.
Of course, all these efforts were in vain. Xu Lianshan waved his legs, and the wolf-like imperial guards immediately came forward, covered the Shi family's mouths, and led them out tied up.
The sudden scene caused a moment of dead silence in the huge hall, before a "buzz" sound erupted into many speculations.
"Shi Qiu... seems to be one of the people who agrees with persuading Your Majesty to accept the harem?" At that time, someone's meaningful words suddenly came out, and everyone who heard it was shocked. Then they looked at Queen Sheng in the head, Seeing her minding her own business, hugging and coaxing the prince, they all hesitated: "Isn't it true that the queen was rejected by Bidong?"
Thinking about that, many people fell silent.
Sheng Weiqiao saw those changes in his eyes, curled his lips, and took advantage of Rong Juan's clothes to get dirty, and led him to stand up: "Good boy, mother, take me east to change."
The mother and son went to the back and found that the security was obviously tighter than usual.
When they arrived at the side hall, Sheng Weiqiao asked the wet nurse to take care of his son, while he went to the Nuan Pavilion to find Rong Suihe.
"Why is it that it feels like we are facing a formidable enemy outside tomorrow?" Seeing her husband, she asked, half complaining and half doubtful, "Don't I really want to do something wrong to their mother?"
Rong Suihe was going in to take some time to revise a few minutes of the memorial. When he heard this, he looked up with a smile and said: "My dear girl, I made a mistake. That means he wants to do something wrong to our mother, or is he afraid that I will do something wrong to him?" what!"
Sheng Weiqiao walked to him curiously: "What did you say?"
"Well, just after he left the table to change his clothes, when he went outside, there was a maidservant who came to him and said something about being a servant..." Rong Suihe just said that, and when he saw his wife's expression suddenly turned gloomy, he laughed. He said, "Look, look, he's just starting to talk! I started to show off my face, please don't call more people to stay outside, who knows how I might wrong him?"
"Come on, what happened next?" Sheng Weiqiao snorted, pushed him, and said, "Huh? Did I change my clothes? Did I really do something bad?"
Rong Suihe hugged her to his knees and said with a smile: "No, he did something bad. My dear, what am I going to do?"
"What's your plan?" Sheng Weiqiao pointed at his chest and said with a smile, "How is he? Everyone in Didong said that I am a rare wise king, and I have completed the unfinished business since Emperor Taizu Bidong. His great achievements... How can such a monarch be achieved by a mere queen? How about I give him an idea, what should he do? "
Rong Suihe smiled and said: "Little ancestor, when I said that, didn't I often turn my head to look at the sword hanging on the wall over there?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed her on the temples, and then repeated what he had said before, "He ordered the whole family of that wretched maid to be imprisoned, and he also ordered General Lianshan to clean up the imperial army. Speaking of which, that wretched maid did the same thing. It's a good thing. Although Wuyiying and Jishanying have been his confidants for many years, they were busy with big things and had no time to sort things out. If the east is peaceful tomorrow, since he has no intention of crossing the river and burning the bridge, he doesn't want to rashly start a war with his direct relatives! "
"Who knew they were so bold as to release people in front of him based on mere rumors? Does that mean he is wrong and they are too good-tempered?"
Sheng Weiqiao thought thoughtfully: "Please, if they don't give me away just because of the rumors, and if they did it after getting my clear intention, then they won't get the credit, no?"
"Xun Zong, I'm messing around again!" "Rong Suihe scratched the tip of her nose and said with a smile, "Do you want to hear sweet words? Why don't you ask him to move back to Wangchun Palace tomorrow morning? "
"I want to talk sweetly, but who's stopping me?" Sheng Weiqiao spat, "I want to move back to Wangchun Palace, did he say no? What I want to do is because of him!"
The couple bickered for a while, and Sheng Weiqiao frowned when he remembered Rong Juan: "I asked Ruibin what did he say to him tomorrow morning? He said he thought he would never see me after tomorrow, so he made a big fuss Morning, I want to spend some time with me!"
Rong Suihe's face darkened when he heard this, and then he smiled and said: "He knows, good girl, don't worry, he will handle that matter later!"
... When the emperor and empress were dining together, they noticed that the atmosphere in the palace was obviously different.
The Queen's die-hards such as Sheng Lanci and his wife continued to remain silent, but others were clearly more restrained.
Even when they were drinking and drinking, they almost didn't dare to whisper. When they had to say something, they would talk about the unimportant romance.
The couple had no idea what was going on, and after a hidden misunderstanding, they continued as if nothing had happened.
Except for Shi Qiu's family who was taken away during the banquet that day, there were no other twists and turns.
It was not until after the banquet that everyone went back to their homes that they heard that the reason why Shi Qiu's family was considered regicide was because Shi Qiu's daughter had an "accidental encounter" with Rong Sleeping Crane with the help of the bribed Imperial Army.
It turns out that the dream of flying on a branch did not come true, but it did not make things easy for the whole family.
"Bidong has a deep mind. From now on, just concentrate on doing your own thing well and stop thinking about shortcuts!" After hearing the news, many discerning people secretly warned their families, "Girls to be married, there are promising candidates. , get out of the cabinet quickly and don’t think too much!”
Of course, there are discerning people, and there are also those who continue to be confused and go east.
"It seems that Bidong has indeed followed in the footsteps of the late emperor!" The heartbroken ministers beat their chests and stamped their feet, "Although it is said that the late emperor favored concubines, and the ones Bidong favored were not queens, but the principle is the same: How can a majestic emperor treat his wife as a bride? The anger, sorrow and joy are pinned on a woman’s legs?!”
"This does not deny the blessings of Sheji. This must be stopped!!!"
"Previously, the late emperor was destroyed by the Shu sisters. Now that Ming has arrived in Bidong, the tragedy must not be repeated again!!!"
In Chang'an after the festival, the undercurrent became more intense.
