Huanian didn't stop at the slightest when passing by the concubine, as if he hadn't seen the concubine.
"Mother concubine, what's the matter?" Seeing that Concubine Xian hadn't got up yet, the six princes whispered to her.
Concubine Xian shook her head, did not speak much, but had other thoughts in her heart.
Has the King of Yu entered the palace too often recently
Is it possible that the queen dowager's favorite candidate for the prince is the king of Yu
No, it's impossible. No matter what the king Yu said, it is not the blood of the emperor. Even if the queen mother values the king Yu again, can the king make all the officials surrender? The emperor would never agree to take 10,000 steps back.
Thinking of this, Concubine Xian relaxed a little.
Concubine Xian patted the six princes on the shoulders. Among these heirs of the emperor, it is difficult to find someone who is as tall as his own son. The throne must be her son.
Unconsciously, rumors suddenly spread in the capital—
The prince who Xianhuang liked was his youngest son, Xiao Huaiyou, the prince of Xianyu.
Once the rumors were spread, it was like a flood that burst a dyke. For a while, the people talked a lot about where the rumors came from, no one knows, but the ministers knew it well, and it spread at this juncture. There must be no relationship with Yu Wang Xiao Xuan.
Concubine Xian slumped in the pear flower chair. Her natal sister-in-law, Xiang Yan, sat aside. She had originally entered the palace to inquire about the news from Concubine Xian. Seeing Concubine Xian's appearance, she couldn't help but panicked and asked hurriedly: " What the hell is going on, so good, how could King Yu participate in the muddy waters of the conqueror?"
Concubine Xian gritted her teeth, "I looked down on that little bastard. At this time, can't you guess? That kid has concealed it from your Majesty and everyone. Who knows that in the end, he is that ambition. The eldest one. It's really Xiao Huaiyou's son, who hides so deeply at a young age."
Xiang Yan still thought about it for a while before she realized the meaning of Concubine Xian, and she took a breath. "But when Prince Xianyu passed away, he just remembered something, how could he have the consciousness and thoughts of seizing his daughter?"
"Where does my palace know." The concubine Xian waved her hand impatiently.
"What can we do now?" Xiang Yan said helplessly.
"Your Majesty is still alive, there is still room for change in this matter." Xian Fei said: "In any case, the pope can never fall to others."
Xiang Yan felt uneasy, and didn't know what Xian Concubine's idea was.
"My palace asks the eldest brother to win over General Hong Wei, can General Hong Wei have a reply?" Concubine Xian asked.
General Hongwei Mo Huayuan was another general in Da Zhou besides Xie Yong, who had been short of Xie Yong for many years.
"General Mo said that he will support the sixth prince to the upper ranks."
Most of Da Zhou's military power was held in the hands of the emperor, and only General Hong Wei still held a small part of the military power. Xian Fei believed that as long as the six princes were supported by Mo Huayuan, the throne would be his son.
"My palace wants to see General Mo."
"You have been in the palace for a long time, where can I have a chance to meet a foreigner? If it is discovered, how can I get out?" Xiang Yan said hurriedly.
"My palace can't take care of that much. How many days will your Majesty live? It will be too late for them to succeed in their plans. The new emperor ascends the throne. Do you think he can treat the sixth princes and our Xiang family? What is waiting for us Xiangjia is the wealth and glory of Splashing the sky. Once others ascend to the throne, there will be no way for Xiangjia to survive.
At the end of speaking, he couldn’t help clenching his fists, “My palace has tolerated most of my life. There used to be two princes and four princes on the heads of the sixth prince, but now those two can no longer constitute My son’s threat, why can’t I plan for my son?"
Seeing Concubine Xian, Xiang Yan was excited, and quickly appeased Concubine Xian, and then hurriedly agreed.
When Xiang Yan went out of the palace, he happened to see King Yu at the gate of the palace.
Really a character like a dragon and a phoenix, made her involuntarily think of Xiao Huaiyou. Xiao Huaiyou looked like this when he was still alive, full of vigor and arrogance, but the once dazzling figure has long since turned into a loess.
After Xiao Xuan left, Xie Yunqing asked Shi Yao to prepare the carriage.
"Wang Hao, you want to go out?" asked silently, "It's not peaceful outside, the princess should stay in the palace."
"I'm going out to meet someone. If I don't see you again, I'm afraid there will be no chance."
The deepest part of the dungeon.
It is dark and damp, with snakes, rats, insects and ants crawling and swimming. The mice are as big as the palm of an adult man, dragging their long tails around, and they are not afraid of people. In the darkness, mung bean-like eyes glowed faintly.
Xiao Yu was detained in the last cell.
His clothes are full of creases, and he has not washed for a few days, making his hair messy, and his chin is full of stubble. Who can imagine that he was once the most powerful prince in Da Zhou.
The prison officers who came to inspect came to him, always shook their heads and sighed.
"It's ironic that His Royal Highness, who was once invaluable, is now a prisoner whom everyone spurned."
Xiao Yu sat on the rotten straw, describing it as haggard.
There was a sound of footsteps coming, and Xiao Yu raised his head intentionally.
In the dim and rotten sky cell, several women walked up, the one headed by them was beautiful and radiant. She seemed to be coming with the dawn, and all the light between the heaven and the earth was concentrated on her.
It's Xie Yunqing, who hasn't seen him for a long time.
Xiao Yu stood up suddenly and stumbled to the door. He held the iron prison railing and stared at Xie Yunqing.
"Why did the princess Yu come to see this palace?" Xiao Yu immediately showed a confused look, "couldn't it be the princess Yu who asked you to come to see the joke in this palace?"
Xie Yunqing stood a few steps away from the dungeon, Su Wen and Mo Yan guarded her from left to right, Shi Yao stood at the door of the dungeon, staring at Xiao Yu vigilantly.
Xiao Yu's eyes moved to Xie Yunqing's lower abdomen, "My palace has forgotten that Princess Yu is pregnant."
Xie Yunqing looked at the man she had devoted all her love to in the previous life, but at this moment, looking at him in despair, he couldn't stir up the slightest disturbance in his heart.
To her, he was already a stranger.
"The flesh and blood in my abdomen are the children of King Yu and I. King Yu can protect our mother and child, but I don't know how the former Crown Prince and the current prisoner can protect his wife and children?" Xie Yunqing said.
"How can this palace protect them? This palace cannot protect itself now!" Xiao Yuyang said.
"Yes, Consort Shen also understands this truth, so she has already found a way out for herself."
"What's the way out?"
Xie Yunqing looked at Xiao Yu and slowly said: "Concubine Shen Bian knows that the real threat to us is you and Donggong's eldest son. Therefore, she used your son's life in exchange for her own survival."
Xiao Yu's eyes widened, and he was kept in the dark dungeon for days, his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. He gritted his teeth and spit out
Two words, "cheap, human!"
How dare she...
"The child fell to death in front of her. Do you know what culling is? Such a small child fell from a height in a sack, and he couldn't even cry, but he could only see his blood all over the ground. It's all red." Xie Yunqing said calmly.
However, Xiao Yu's eyes were cracked, and he stared at Xie Yunqing firmly. He clenched the railing and swayed, and lime rustled down from the top of his head.
Xie Yunqing didn't even blink his eyes, "Why is the reaction so big? You haven't ascended the throne, why have you let the second prince and his wife and daughter? Xiao Yu, I'm just acting like that."
"How did you know?" Xiao Yu asked back.
"I know more than so much. I also know that three years ago, when Pingyi County suffered a drought, the emperor ordered you to supervise the relief work. Pingyi County Governor Shen Changlin detained the silver and food for the relief, and honored you all two years ago. When the Inspector Shi Hanling discovered this, he secretly presented the memorial to the emperor. You intercepted the memorial and instructed his subordinate An Yi to accuse Han Ling of unnecessarily charged crimes. As a result, all the men of the Han family were beheaded and the female relatives turned into camp prostitutes.” Xie Yunqing said. , Her voice was flat, and there was no expression on her face, but such plain words exploded like a thunder in Xiao Yu's ears.
"The murder of the second prince's family is also your handwriting. As early as many years ago, you began to confidantly and win over courtiers to work for you. The emperor's most taboo thing is to form a party and get power. You said, if the emperor is still good at sitting On the dragon chair, knowing your charges, how will you deal with you?"
If you let the emperor father know, with the cruelty of the emperor father, it would be light to leave his whole body.
Xiao Yu repeated: "How do you know this?"
Over the years, he has admitted that he is cautious and will not leave any handles.
Xie Yunqing smiled and said: "Do you really think that what you did is perfect? Xiao Yu, you are very cautious, so cautious that you will not leave any traces. But it is precisely because of your caution that you have harmed you. You Unwilling to trust your subordinates, so there will always be handles that can be used to intimidate them. Today, these handles will also become the tools we use to destroy you."
"No, no..." Xiao Yu shook his head repeatedly, "How can you know, you can't know, it's impossible!"
Xie Yunqing continued to smile, "Speaking of which, concubine Shen's contribution is also attributed to her. She accidentally discovered your ulterior secrets. In order to save her life, she told me these things."
Suwen and Moyan both looked at Xie Yunqing in perplexity. No one knew better than them. When I went to the East Palace the other day, Moyan followed Xie Yunqing and talked with Shen Miaohua, while Suwen went to the secret room of the East Palace to collect Xiao Yu’s private collection. .
"This stupid woman!" Xiao Yu scolded, "Poisonous woman!" He kicked the cage fiercely, but the iron prison was made of stainless steel. His legs and feet were weak and he was sitting on the ground, describing it as embarrassed.
"Don't worry, you will see each other soon. When the time comes, I believe you will have countless things to say." Xie Yunqing gently brushed the sand on his shoulders, "Xiao Yu, goodbye." She whispered, and then , Turned away without nostalgia.
Out of the dungeon, the head of the cell was facing her again and again.
The iron door of the dungeon slowly closed, and a dull and heavy voice came from behind itself.
Xie Yunqing felt the warmth of the sun outside, all the past, one by one, appeared in his heart, and finally turned into a sigh.
