After returning to the palace, Hua Xiwan took a comfortable hot bath, and then went into the warm bed. The servants of the palace put away some overly bright decorations in the palace overnight, and all changed into dull uniforms. .
When Hua Xiwan woke up from Yan Jinqiu's arms the next morning, she saw that the entire palace had changed, like a beauty who had taken off her makeup, her beauty remained the same, but it lost a bit of her usual beauty.
Yan Jinqiu saw that she had changed into a snow-colored palace dress with blue flowers, and even her favorite coral ruby and other hairpin jewelry in the past day had been replaced with jade, silver, pearls, etc., and said, "I'm going to wrong you this month. "
The time of the prince's death was very bad. It was the turn of the old year and the new year, and there was no reason for the winter thunder in the snow. This incident spread to the people, and I don't know what kind of panic it would cause the people.
Probably in the hearts of the common people, this prince's life is a scourge, and he will not find a good day even in death. He has to find bad luck in this festive festival. Isn't this intention to make everyone have no good omen next year
Prince Xian's mansion is so peaceful, but it doesn't mean that other mansions are so happy. For example, Prince Ning, Uncle Jingping, Princess Minhui and others from the Prince's line, after returning home from the palace, have hardly slept all night, and will have to wait for the next day. Rushing to the palace to cry for the prince was a double test of both body and mind.
Some officials said that the prince was a junior, and his uncles should not cry for him. As a result, he was directly killed by the angry emperor, and said to the civil and military officials: "Although the prince is a junior, he is the prince. Unlike ordinary princes, everyone in the world, except for the empress dowager and his biological mother, observes filial piety because of him."
Perhaps it was because of the killing of an official by the stick, and the fact that the prince was not good enough, the emperor only had such a son under his knees.
The ministers from the second rank and above in the capital have ordered them to enter the palace to guard the prince, and sacrifices from all over the country are also rushed to the capital. Just after everyone thought the emperor would stop tossing, Emperor Qilong released another shocking thunder.
The emperor wanted to postulate the prince as Emperor Pingxiao, which immediately caused an uproar in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Throughout the ages, they have seen their sons who named Lao Tzu as emperor, but how could Lao Tzu be alive, and the reason for chasing a dead son as emperor
This is related to the ancestral system of Jiangshan Sheji. There are many opponents in the whole court. Many ministers can't afford to kneel at the gate of the palace, and they only hope that the emperor can take his order back. And Emperor Qilong was determined not to take back this decision, and for a while, Emperor Qilong and these courtiers met.
The Queen's family, the Fang family, and the prince's lineage ran around to support the emperor's decision, because as long as the prince was posthumously named emperor, as long as the fetus in the prince's womb was a boy, then the prince's lineage was not considered a successor. .
Emperor Qilong's intention is also here, he doesn't want to wait for his death, the throne will fall into the hands of others, so what he has to do now is to pave the way for the child in the crown of the princess.
The neutrals and supporters defended the prince for six days, and Emperor Qilong fought a six-day tug-of-war with the opposition. Hua Xiwan even heard that the elders of the two dynasties were hit and killed at the main east gate because of their opposition to this matter.
After returning to the palace, she asked hesitantly, "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will liquidate his descendants when this old minister was killed by a head-on crash at the palace gate?"
"He has no children, and he has been obsessed with cultivating books in recent years," Yan Jinqiu said with a half-smile, "I heard that this lord once praised the character of King Shengjun in public."
Hua Xiwan touched her chin and asked curiously, "Do you mean to say that this was suggested by Prince Sheng?"
Yan Jinqiu leaned over her forehead and said, "What do you think?"
She stretched out her index finger and pushed his forehead away. Hua Xiwan rubbed her neck. She hadn't had a good rest at the Suzaku Palace for the past few days.
"I'm so lazy, what can I do in the future?" Yan Jinqiu smiled helplessly and sat down beside her, "I can't invite the drama troupe or the storyteller for the past 100 days, I've already asked the servants to find some interesting things for you. The book will give you time, and you will be wronged for some time."
"This is a force majeure accident, and it's not your fault. What grievance is there?" Hua Xiwan drank a sip of warm tea, "Now there is such a commotion outside, which makes people in the capital panic, keep a low profile. Better."
Since the crown prince committed the crime, Duan and the princess, who have always raised their chin to look at people, have restrained a lot, not to mention their seemingly beautiful, but actually the emperor's suspicion of the royal family. is satisfied.
"Don't worry, things will pass." Yan Jinqiu knew what she was worried about and comforted: "Father-in-law is a smart person and will never interfere in this matter. Besides, the Hua family is also a famous family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and others can easily Don't dare to offend, don't worry too much."
Hua Xiwan reluctantly smiled: "I know what you said is reasonable, but after all, it is the home that has raised me for more than ten years. I don't ask for how prominent my parents' family is, I just want my relatives to be safe, free from disease and disaster, and I am satisfied."
Yan Jinqiu gently took her into his arms: "I see."
The words of the two may contain other meanings, but fortunately, the two have reached a consensus and eliminated the most basic doubts.
Because of the chaos in the court, Yan Jinqiu had to get busy even if he was an idle prince. Hua Xiwan simply closed the gate of the palace and declined all visits. After hearing that the Hua family was not involved in this matter, he was relieved.
Their Hua family is an ordinary aristocratic family, and they have a good reputation, but they have never thought about pursuing a century-old name. As for such things as death advice, the Hua family will never do it, they will choose A more secure way to get the most stable and best results.
After several days of bloody days, it finally cleared up. Hua Xiwan curled up on the warm soft couch. Seeing that the sun was shining outside, she finally decided to leave the yard and walk in the palace.
In the winter, the golden sun shines on her body. Although it is not particularly warm, it is always a little warm. Hua Xiwan walked around the backyard and was about to go back to the house when she suddenly heard a noise coming from the direction of the study. He frowned: "What's the noise in the study?"
If Yan Jinqiu was in the mansion, she wouldn't mind this nostalgia, but now that there is a noise from the study, as a princess, she has to mind it.
"Princess," the head of the guard guarding the study room saw Hua Xiwan bring someone over with a look of distress on his face, but he couldn't hide the noise even if he wanted to.
"What's going on inside?" Hua Xiwan stood outside the Moon Gate, and vaguely saw more than a dozen strong guards surrounding the two people.
The captain of the guard did not dare to stop him, and took a step back silently. Hua Xiwan walked into the yard and frowned even more after seeing the scene inside. Surrounded by the guards was a very inconspicuous young man. He was still wearing the uniform of the servant in the palace, but unfortunately it was stained with brown stains and looked very embarrassed. He was holding a knife in his hand, which was placed on the neck of the person he was holding.
The person who was taken as a hostage by this person, Hua Xiwan, knew that he was an eunuch by Yan Jinqiu's side, but because of the presence of Mu Tong, who would be in trouble, this eunuch was not very important to Yan Jinqiu.
"Princess, this scoundrel was a spy caught by the palace a few days ago. Who would have known that he would be taken out today."
Hua Xiwan didn't ask where this person was locked up before, but carefully looked at the spies and hostages surrounded by guards with her eyes, and said nothing.
"Princess, the little one is wronged. The lord set up a private cell and tortured him many times. There are still people locked up under the study. There is a purgatory for the living. Please show mercy and let us innocent people go. Come out," the spy saw that he couldn't run away, and saw the appearance of the princess who was much loved by the prince, he simply broke the jar and tried to make a rift between the couple. "Your pillow is not a modest gentleman at all. He is a bloodthirsty devil, you can't be deceived by him!"
Hua Xiwan turned her head to the head guard and said, "Close the courtyard door." After the courtyard door was closed, she looked back at the maids who followed her and lowered her eyelids slightly, "Except my body Except for the maid, all the others will be imprisoned first, and then make plans when the prince returns."
No matter how true or false the spy's words are, the words he said cannot be spread out, otherwise the entire palace of King Xian will be ruined, so she must make such a choice.
Hearing the words, the head guard was relieved in his heart. What he was most afraid of was that if the princess really only cared about the spies, she would not care about the other things, then Xian Wangfu was really troublesome.
"Why, you don't believe me," the spy showed a frantic look on his face, and he looked at the people around him, "Why don't I tell this charming princess what the graceful prince by your pillow did. "
"Why does this princess listen to your nonsense?" Hua Xiwan sneered, "What I want to know more is, what is your relationship with this eunuch who was kidnapped by you, otherwise, why did you escape by such a coincidence, and you were caught You're a hostage."
Hua Xiwan swept her eyes sharply across the two trembling eunuchs, and sneered: "Although you are very scared, you are always cooperating with this spy, being held hostage by him for so long, there is not even the slightest red mark on your neck. , is it possible that the villains and hostages in this world are good friends."
After saying this, Hua Xiwan turned around and said to the head guard, "You can deal with it, and keep your mouth tight."
Bai Xia and Hongying stepped forward to open the courtyard door and walked out behind Hua Xiwan, while those little maids were imprisoned inside.
After walking a few steps, Hua Xiwan heard faint screams coming from the yard. Hua Xiwan hurriedly returned to the hospital, waving her hand to break a few things on the treasure shelf, overturning the table, and disrupting the room. He was cruel, and he cut a not deep or shallow wound on the back of his hand, and said word by word, "Bai Xia, there is an assassin."
Many people in the palace have heard the noise just now. The situation in the capital is so tense, and the palace of Xian has been stared at by many people. Since there is a commotion, let's just make things even more chaotic.
"Come here, catch the assassin, the princess is injured!" Bai Xia heart slashed, and slashed on her thigh, and immediately bleed, and then smeared the blood on herself and Hongying, "Catch the assassin!"
Hongying bumped her head against the corner of the table, then scratched her hair and coat, and protected Hua Xiwan, who was squatting on the ground, her voice was sharp and fearful: "There are assassins!"
