The prince was kneeling on the floor of the study, and the emperor had been beating and scolding him for nearly an hour, just as the queen told him, he just cried and didn't speak. How the emperor kicked and beat him, how he roared, how he said he was going to abolish his crown prince, all he just cried and kowtowed without making any excuses.
Finally, the sound of drums and music came from outside the hall, and the emperor was tired of beating and scolding, so he sat down, gasping for breath, and asked, "What's going on?"
Eunuch Sun asked people to go out. After a while, an eunuch ran in and whispered to the emperor, "The empress wants to see you."
The emperor immediately said: "No see!"
The eunuch hesitated for a moment, then said in a lower voice: "The queen said that if the emperor does not see her, she will tell everyone how the emperor succeeded to the throne..."
The emperor slammed the case again: "She is rebellious! Let her in, I don't think she wants to be the queen anymore!"
The eunuch went out, not long after, the queen walked in step by step amidst the sound of drums outside the palace.
The emperor looked at the empress who was dressed gracefully but with a haggard face, and was in a daze for a moment. He hadn't seen the empress for a long time. He felt that this woman was becoming more and more vicious, and she was no longer feminine at all, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw her. Now, he seemed to think of her when she was young, when she was beautiful and attractive, and she was also very young...
The queen glanced at the embarrassing prince kneeling on the ground, snorted, and said to the emperor after a salute: "See the emperor." But there was no respect in her tone.
The emperor was also angry: "What is Zitong here for?"
The queen looked at the eunuch and maid behind her, and said, "If you don't want to die, get out!"
The queen's people left one after another, and the emperor's eunuchs looked at the emperor. The emperor hated the queen for being so arrogant in front of him, but he could only grit his teeth and waved his hands, and asked his own people, including Eunuch Sun, to retreat, lest the queen say something inappropriate.
Seeing that everyone had left, the queen said flatly, "It was my palace who sent people to kill the fourth son of Marquis of Zhenbei."
The emperor sneered: "You want to take the blame for your son."
The queen also sneered: "He told me about the escort of the black dragon, and also said that the fourth son of the Marquis of Zhenbei grew up black. Bah! It's so easy to come to escort the black dragon? Tai=zu established a new dynasty, It’s justified to have God’s protection, and now the dynasty has a bumper harvest year after year, without war and chaos, what are the black dragons doing? Who are they protecting? Or does the emperor feel that his power is unstable and precarious, and he is so weak that he needs the black dragon to protect him?…”
The emperor shouted angrily: "How dare you curse me, you don't want to live anymore?!"
The queen was not afraid, but still sneered and said: "It is a curse to say that the child is a black dragon! A bad black child, let the emperor worry about gains and losses? The emperor forgot how he got the throne in the first place? If the first emperor listened to the words of the old Zhen Beihou , established the emperor's elder brother, will that black boy come to protect the emperor today? If the emperor's elder brother didn't die because the horse fell from the horse, he probably came to help the emperor's elder brother!"
The emperor was so angry that he could only keep saying, "You...you..."
The queen raised her head arrogantly: "What's wrong with this palace? I just can't let the emperor use that black kid to make a fuss, find a mistake to pull my son down from the crown prince, and then look for opportunities to help that bitch's child become a prince." Prince! This palace is going to kill him! Cut off the emperor's thoughts, so as to prevent future troubles!"
The emperor's face was ferocious: "How dare you... dare to interfere in politics..."
The queen said disdainfully: "What is politics? The emperor forgot that before he took the throne, he often went to this palace to discuss with this palace how to keep a low profile in order to gain the trust of the late emperor. The words of this palace won the emperor's approval, saying repeatedly Gong Congying. At that time, why didn't the emperor say that this palace is meddling in politics?"
The emperor pointed to the empress and said, "That's only behind people! And now you're breaking into my study and dictating me, isn't that called meddling in politics?! You dare to murder the son of a general with your back behind my back..."
The queen snorted: "Is the emperor confused? I can't tell who is close and who is far away? On the one hand is a black child who has never met, or the descendant who did not want the emperor to be on the throne! On the other hand is his own child, Who should I protect? Bengong understands it very well! If it is for my son, what is it to kill the son of Marquis of Zhenbei? Besides, his daughter caused Bengong's daughter to be disfigured, so Bengong should give him a big blow! "
The emperor said angrily: "Who do you think you are?! You are not me! How dare you act for me?!"
The queen smiled coldly: "I am the queen and belong to the emperor. I feel unhappy. The emperor should vent his anger on this palace, but what did the emperor do? My daughter was injured, and the emperor repeatedly surrendered." There is no sin... ”
The emperor shook his head: "You are so arrogant! I act to make you happy?! Who is I? Who are you? When you married Zhen, you were just a side concubine!"
The queen also sharply retorted: "What's wrong with the side concubine?! The emperor didn't dislike this side concubine of this palace at the beginning! At that time, the emperor was not enthroned. How many times did he come to this palace to make vows and cite Bai Juyi's song of eternal hatred! This palace once worked for the emperor. What happened, the emperor should remember..."
The emperor interrupted: "Didn't I make you queen? Didn't I make your son the crown prince?"
The queen's face was stiff: "That's just one or two of them. Has the emperor forgotten the others?"
The emperor shook his head in disbelief: "Are you still not satisfied? You really think that I can spoil only one person? Just because of this absurd idea, you have been so tossing all these years? Do you think I don't know the reason for the death of the former empress? I love it." Eldest princess, I don’t know the death of the second emperor? I don’t know how many concubines died in the harem? I let you so much, you still don’t think it’s enough?! You greedy woman! Why? Can’t you get it? Doting alone, you actually want to destroy my country?"
The queen's face turned red because of the ridicule, and she retorted: "The emperor really can exaggerate. My palace just wanted to get rid of that child because I didn't want the emperor to be restrained by the Zhenbei Houfu in the future. If it didn't work, I killed a few of them." My servant, why is this ruining the emperor's country? The emperor's country should be stronger than this, right? My palace said, it's not the time to change dynasties, how can I use a black dragon to escort me?!"
The emperor scolded: "You actually cursed again... If you don't want to live, I will fulfill you!"
The prince came over on his knees, hugged the emperor's knee and cried: "Father, calm down, please, father..."
Both the emperor and the queen looked at the prince, and the prince had tears in his eyes: "...forgive the queen mother!" This means that the queen is guilty.
The emperor kicked the prince away, and the queen said loudly: "What's the use of kicking him? I will naturally recognize what I do!..."
While arguing, someone outside shouted: "Your Majesty! The Fifth Prince accidentally ate rat poison and passed away!"
The emperor's eyes widened in surprise, and he pointed at the queen: "You actually... you! You are so daring!"
The queen sneered: "What does this have to do with my palace?!"
The fifth prince was just a young boy. The emperor had seen him in the past, and was taught to shrink back by his mother and concubine. Later, the emperor ignored him, but now he is dead! This is not the same thing! The emperor believed that having many sons and grandchildren was a blessing, but how many princes are left now? !
He just felt that the prince had betrayed him, even if it was true that he only told the queen about the black dragon as the queen said, it would still be a betrayal! After hearing this, the queen will definitely do something, isn't that obvious? To tell the queen is to let the queen kill people!
And the third prince has been competing with him all the time, and he still hasn't learned his lesson after the winter hunt. He is not only not flattering, but also indifferent when meeting. He just thought that he should start training the fifth prince to succeed the prince, but the fifth prince died just like that! Obviously the queen ordered someone to do it! this woman! This is a fight to the death with myself!
This matter finally became the last straw that made the camel fall to the ground. The emperor's anger was completely transferred to the empress, shouting: "Come here! Come here!" More than 20 eunuchs and palace officials poured in from the door.
The prince kept crying: "Father, Father!..."
The emperor pointed at the empress tremblingly and said: "Depose the empress of the Jia family and demote her to Concubine Jing! Immediately change to the cold palace!" Jing—speak less!
The prince rushed to the queen's side, took the queen's hand and said: "Mother, mother, please forgive me!" He suddenly found that the queen's hands were as dry as sticks and as cold as ice.
The queen shook off the prince's hand, raised her hand with a sneer, took off the phoenix crown by herself, and threw it viciously on the ground, all around screamed, pearls and jade splashed on the ground. The queen inspected the emperor and the crying prince contemptuously, turned around and walked out. Although her stomach hurt badly, she tried her best to straighten her body.
The emperor was so angry that he fell into the chair, and the crown prince knelt and walked to the emperor's knee: "Father! Father! Forgive mother and queen!"
The emperor gritted his molars and said, "I am worthy of her for saving her life! What else do you want?! How dare she... how dare..."
The prince cried: "It's my fault...it's my fault..."
The emperor looked at the prince very sharply. When the prince saw that look, he lowered his eyes guiltyly and said with tears, "I shouldn't have told the queen mother about the black dragon... The queen mother said she wanted someone to do things, but the child didn't ask, so he sent someone to take care of him." I went to discuss with the queen mother..."
The emperor pushed the prince away vigorously: "From this matter, you should understand that you should think twice when you encounter problems, don't be like those women who talk too much!" The prince repeatedly said yes.
The emperor was very tired, and another eunuch came in and said, "A eunuch died on the queen's side, and the two maids committed suicide."
The emperor waved to the prince, and the prince stood up with difficulty and swayed. The two eunuchs saw him and rushed forward to support him. The prince saluted the emperor, but the emperor did not move. Step by step, the prince was carried out by two eunuchs.
After the prince had left for a long time, people cleaned up the ground, and only the emperor and Eunuch Sun, who was silently beating his back in the room, said in a low voice, "This is really the hand of the empress... Concubine Jing?"
Eunuch Sun didn't dare to answer, and the emperor said to himself: "If that's the case, the prince will be considered filial if he keeps his mouth shut and doesn't confess his mother... But if it's not like that..."
After a long time, the emperor sighed deeply: "I really still don't like Zhenbeihou. Let the prince continue to be the prince, and I can't let Zhenbeihou be too proud!" The heart of Marquis Zhenbei? ! The queen's words "the descendants who didn't want the emperor to ascend the throne" once again poked the emperor's sore spot, aroused the emperor's hatred for the old Zhenbeihou, and spread to the current Zhenbeihou. Moreover, if the third prince has the help of Zhenbei Hou, it is possible to force the palace in the future. Now only the crown prince can be kept, but this is obviously what the queen arranged, and the emperor felt disgusted.
Eunuch Sun whispered, "The emperor is wise."
The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "That stupid woman! She actually killed the fifth prince for this! She was determined not to be a queen before she came here!" The last blow swept away a possible future opponent for the prince.
Eunuch Sun dared not speak again.
The emperor sighed for a long time, and said: "Find more young ones, so that you can have more children. It's good if she goes down, I have to have a few more children."
Eunuch Sun hurriedly agreed this time.
That night, although the decree of the abolished empress had not yet been promulgated, the queen, now Concubine Jia Jing, had already moved out of the queen's palace and into one of the desolate courtyards to the north of the palace. Fortunately, her son is still the prince, so people still respect Concubine Jia Jing.
Concubine Jia Jing sat on the hard wooden bed, looking at the simple environment that was thousands of miles away from her own bedroom in the morning, she had a headache so much that she wanted to take an ax to split her head off. She sighed deeply, lay down with her clothes on, and said to herself: "At least I don't have to participate in the silkworm kissing ceremony, and I don't have to look at those hateful women, none of them have good intentions..."
Soon, she reluctantly fell asleep. In the dimness, she seemed to feel that the shadows in the room were moving slowly, but she was too tired, so she didn't open her eyes to check.
The fourth prince was dumbfounded when he heard the news. He sat in front of a game of chess that night, staring blankly at the board without making a single move.
In the past few moves, he could see traces of careful design in the subtleties. But this time, the abolishment of the empress was completely out of the blue, with no trace to follow. Although the death of the fifth prince could be used as a reason, the second prince, who was said to be a genius and admired by the emperor, died in the palace. After that, the queen was fine. The death of a fifth prince who did not get the emperor's attention at all would not allow the emperor to abolish Jia's empress position. It seems that the main reason for abolishing the empress is that the empress admitted that she sent someone to kill the fourth son of Zhenbeihou.
The emperor's blockade of the legend of the black dragon made the fourth prince confused about the ins and outs of the whole incident: How could the chess player behind the scenes lure the queen to murder the fourth son of Zhenbeihou? It is said that the child can't even speak! After the failure, the queen was forced to silence her again and again, and finally came out to plead guilty and lost the queen's seat. Judging from this situation, it is probably to take the blame for the prince, but then again: why does the prince want to kill that child? In order to avenge the loss of the four princesses? ... How can it not reach this level. Therefore, apart from the prince and the empress making a bad move, the fourth prince really couldn't think of any other explanation.
The crown prince sat in despair and drove back to the east palace. He was so weak that he couldn't even stand upright. The eunuch wanted to help him back to the palace, but the crown prince signaled to go to the meeting room. The eunuch immediately asked someone to move the reclining chair and put it in the meeting hall. He helped the prince to lie down halfway. The prince said feebly: "Let them all come, come right away."
The eunuch hurriedly went out to summon the prince's confidantes and officials of the East Palace. Seeing that the prince's lips were chapped, he ordered them to serve tea.
The prince took a sip of tea, managed to calm himself down a bit, and lay down on the recliner, feeling empty and dazed in his heart: How did he end up in this situation? So where did that high-spirited self go? Before the big wedding, the self who was determined to win the crown prince; after the canonization, the self who can speak to the court affairs... How did it come to the situation today, where the queen mother sacrificed her descendant to keep her crown prince? What went wrong
One after another, the staff and the confidantes of the Eastern Palace all entered the room, and everyone bowed one by one, but the crown prince didn't answer, and just closed his eyes and half-lyed down. When everyone arrived, the prince waited for a long time, making everyone think that he had summoned everyone to watch him sleep, so the prince said slowly: "I want to completely eradicate Zhenbeihou, Shen Jiajun... Speaking of cats and dogs, not a single mouse can be left behind!"
The room was dead silent. After a long time, a person hesitated and said: "The Marquis of Zhenbei holds a heavy army, if the emperor doesn't..."
The prince interrupted: "Don't count on the father."
After a long time, a person said cautiously: "If you don't rely on the emperor, you can only rely on foreign barbarians..."
For a moment, everyone held their voices and looked at the prince in silence.
The crown prince nodded slowly and said, "Think of a way carefully." Then he waved his hand to make everyone retreat.
Before everyone ran over, they all knew the news about the abolished empress. They thought they would be scolded violently, but they broke up in such an understatement. It is not an easy task to destroy Zhenbeihou.
The prince had his next goal, and the fear in his heart dissipated a little. He closed his eyes and said to himself: "You guys forced me to do this. In this life, my palace is incompatible with you!"
If one were to ask about "you", the crown prince would definitely say the third prince, plus Zhenbeihou Shen Yi's brothers and sisters, and perhaps the emperor. But in his heart, what he thinks of now is everyone, including the princess.
People say whoever they want, and that person will come. Someone outside reported: "The Crown Princess has arrived."
The prince only felt a surge of anger rising from his chest and abdomen, making his face burn.
The fact that Lu's family was chosen at the beginning was indeed because her grandfather was quite influential in the court and could instigate many civil servants. When the prince who was still the eldest prince was arranged to meet girls from various families, the prince even saw Lu's face clearly before agreeing to the queen's suggestion and expressing his choice to the emperor.
After getting married, the Crown Princess was born in a family of civil servants, and she was indeed elegant and virtuous. Although she was not a first-class beauty, she was not annoying. When they were newly married, they could talk quite well with the prince who was still the eldest prince at that time, and the two got along very well. But after the eldest prince canonized the crown prince, the crown princess did not conceive a child for a year, and the crown prince began to spend the night frequently in the rooms of the side concubine and other concubines. The crown princess became gloomy, and then the women began to have miscarriages.
The prince grew up in the harem, and the queen is a master among them. How could he not understand these things? Although I didn't have a lot of choices, the candidates for the first wife were all dignified daughters from famous families, but why was I so unlucky that I picked someone who was similar to my mother to be my wife? !
Thinking of this, the prince felt blocked and hated. It is understandable that the queen mother attacked the concubines in the harem to protect herself. But when the princess did this, she knew that she wanted to end her children and grandchildren!
The two have not been married for five years, and even ordinary people cannot divorce their wives according to the law of "seven outs", not to mention that I am the crown prince, how can I change the crown princess casually? Not to mention, the other party is also implicated in the support of the courtiers.
While the prince was restless, the princess came in with a palace servant carrying a plate of food. She bowed to the prince and signaled the palace servants to put the food plate on the table of the prince's reclining chair, and waited for the palace servants to retreat before she said: "I heard that your highness is not feeling well, so I specially asked someone to cook chicken soup. Please have some side dishes, Your Highness."
The prince knelt by the emperor for a long time, being beaten and scolded, and then saw his mother being demoted. The rice grains hadn't stained her teeth for a day. It was terribly uncomfortable, but when she heard the princess say this, she said coldly: "Too much, princess Already. I want to rest by myself, the princess should step down."
The crown princess has a small face, and even her facial features are exquisite. She is almost twenty years old, but she still looks like a girl of fourteen or fifteen. The prince glanced at the princess' delicate nose, small mouth and chin, and was disgusted. What looked cute and playful at first, is now full of weaknesses: some staff members said that physiognomy says that a thin nose is a sign of childlessness, and a small mouth and chin are a sign of a bleak old age. The prince then thought, if the concubine's evening scene is bleak, what is he? If she had no children, she must have no concubine, but judging by her current behavior, she might not even have a concubine.
The prince lay on his side introverted, not wanting to look at the princess anymore. When the Crown Princess arrived, she found out from the eunuch that the Empress had been verbally demoted to Concubine Jing by the Emperor. Although the courtiers had to discuss it, even if the Emperor changed his words, it would be a huge blow to the Empress. As her son, the prince must be very sad. I just want to take this opportunity to come over to comfort the prince and ease the relationship between the two. After all, I really want a child, and this is something that only two people can do.
Seeing that the prince turned his back to him, the princess took a deep breath and said softly: "Your Highness, no matter what happens, your body is the most important thing, and you should eat something..."
The prince interrupted impatiently: "Okay, you step back!"
The Crown Princess tried harder: "Your Highness, if Your Highness needs it, I can... go back and ask my grandfather for help..."
The prince endured desperately, so he didn't let himself get up and slap the princess a few times!
What does it mean if I "need"? Is this asking me to beg you? Now that you see my mother being demoted, you start to get a university? If you are sincere, you will go back before I open my mouth. Now it's time to tell me that you have asked your grandfather, and they will try their best to persuade the emperor not to abolish the queen tomorrow. Still pretending to say that I have to say "need"? !
But the prince also knew that it was not time to tear his face apart. After all, the marriage with the princess was due to Lu Taifu's influence, and even if he didn't use it, he couldn't ruin it because of this stingy woman. One day I really have a plan to attract foreign barbarians to get rid of Zhenbeihou, then I don't need to rely on the support of these civil officials. Except for the Marquis of Zhenbei, the Third Prince, who could not rely on military power, would not be avenged even if he died. At that time, who else could be the emperor except himself? What is the support of those courtiers
When the anger subsided, the prince said in a calm tone: "That's not necessary, Taifu Lu is old and should be well-raised. Many things, he has more than enough intentions but not enough energy."
The Crown Princess bit her lower lip and said cautiously: "Your Highness, my grandfather..."
The prince interrupted: "You are a woman, don't always think about these extra things. Now it is time to find out why there are so many women in the East Palace who can't conceive children! I have been married to you for four years, If your son is in trouble, you should help my palace to scatter leaves and blossom, after all, there are three ways to be unfilial and having no descendants is the biggest, and the crown princess should not trap this palace in a place of unfilial piety."
The prince used to be a cold war, and he had never spoken so openly.
The Crown Princess held back her tears, her face flushed, she lowered her head and said, "I am His Highness's official wife, and my son-in-law is yet to be born. If the son-in-law is the eldest, there may be chaos in the future..."
The prince snorted coldly: "This palace is a bastard, according to your approach, shouldn't this prince be born?!"
The Crown Princess hurriedly bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness."
The prince did not look back, and said coldly: "What can I do to you? Now I am only a prince, and you let me not even have a child. If you become a queen someday, isn't that right?" Even the harem has been eliminated by you?"
The princess hurriedly knelt down: "Your highness is serious! Listen to what your highness means, but you say that I did those slippery tires?! You are wronged! Your highness, when have I not been taken care of by someone? I really want your highness to hurry up. There is a child! Besides, the child they give birth to has to call me aunt, isn't it my child... "
The prince heard her defense a lot, and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, if you say one sentence, you will get ten sentences back. You really deserve to come from the scholarly family. You can be cunning even if you don't speak well. "
The crown princess cried: "Your Highness! The concubine really never did anything!..."
The prince didn't listen at all: "What is there to cry about now? If the third emperor's younger brother marries a wife and has children, how long can I, a prince without an offspring, last? You can cry again when the time comes! Don't step down!"
The princess cried and got up and walked out. After leaving the palace gate, the eunuch lit a lantern to lead the way. In the night, two palace lanterns came flickering, and when they got closer, it was Concubine Liu, who was dressed in a light gauze, accompanied by two eunuchs holding lanterns and two maids, one of whom was also holding a bag of food. plate.
Although Concubine Liu was not born with a beautiful face, she has a slim and plump figure, and her clothes are even more revealing. Tonight, he actually wore a top imitating a Tang suit, with the neckline opening to the shoulders, and only a moon-white gauze was wrapped around it.
Concubine Liu was not so outstanding in the past. After the concubine did not have a child for a year and the concubines had miscarriages one after another, especially Concubine You had a miscarriage. After the prince became more and more unhappy, Concubine Liu changed her taciturn personality and conservativeness in the past. The gloomy attire was suddenly reborn, proudly protruding out the secret weapon that he had been hiding in the past... the chest device that later generations said, made everyone's jaw drop, and also successfully got the prince's eyeball.
The princess did not want Concubine Liu to see her crying, so she turned her face away from her. But seeing that the Crown Princess' complexion was not good, Concubine Liu deliberately moved closer to salute the Crown Princess, and said in a tired voice, "Prince Concubine is well!"
The princess ignored it and walked straight ahead. I felt in my heart that if the fisherman in the middle of the snipe and the clam spoke, it would probably be in this tone.
Concubine Liu covered her lips with her sleeves and smiled, twisted her waist and went outside the Prince's study, and was summoned to enter soon after.
The Crown Princess couldn't help slowing down her pace, and after walking not far away, she heard a scream from Concubine Liu in the study, followed by several short screams. She couldn't help but turn her head, and saw that under the lights over there, the palace people stood a little further away one after another.
The crown princess turned her head back and quickened her pace. Tears blurred the eunuch's guiding lantern into a ball of yellow water.
In her rage, Shen Wen used a trick to kill with a knife, but when everyone was dead, she didn't feel the pleasure of revenge. If Concubine Chen Guifei's early death made Shen Wen feel sorry, this time the death caused by her indirect action made her feel a deep sense of heaviness, making her speechless. Now she suddenly understands why those who can see the future don't take action to change the future, because in the action, some people who were about to die may be saved, but the interests and even lives of others must be sacrificed. In the end, it will be held to the head of the person who changed his fate, and those who have no relatives or reasons with the doomed dead will definitely not be willing to bear it. But she is different, she bears a blood feud, she can't stand by and watch the future, but in operation, is she too cruel? …
Seeing Shen Wen sighed again, Su Wanniang, who helped Shen Wen go to bed, sat beside Shen Wen and said, "You didn't kill those people, so don't embarrass yourself so much."
Shen Wen whispered: "I don't think I killed them, but I didn't save them."
Su Wanniang asked: "How to save?"
Shen Wen replied: "Beat those people half to death on the spot, drive them out of the house, and drive out their families as well."
Su Wanniang thought for a moment, and said: "If this is the case, they can indeed survive, and their family members will not be suspected. But in that case, you have made enemies for the Hou Mansion. Those people are not loyal in the first place, otherwise they would not betray the Lord. They But you won’t be grateful that you saved them by beating them! If you beat them, they will hate the Hou Mansion even more, and they will definitely continue to follow the prince. In the future, the Hou Mansion will suffer disaster one day, and those people will be the ones who came to kill the Hou Mansion! Maybe they will come to kill the young master again. How many members of their family members do you think will stop them from doing such a bad thing? When they step on the blood of the Marquis Mansion and get a good life, their family members will not follow them to enjoy the blessings? These people have taken refuge in the crown prince , that is, they passed away with their wealth, and the honor and disgrace were chosen by themselves for their families. How can there be any reason why they can be safe and sound when they become traitors and fail to do anything? I have said before, how can they be traitors? Master can't do it, and you can't be a traitor if you run away with your family to avoid disaster. Just look at the benefits, don't think about the consequences... "
Under Su Wanniang's nagging, Shen Wen let out a long sigh of relief: "Okay, I won't think about it anymore."
Su Wanniang got up and made the bed and said in a low voice: "Look at the cruelty over there this time, Madam Qian must have passed on the word." At that time, Shen Jian said that even if one person told the truth, Zhenbeihou To be able to appeal to the emperor is obviously to force the prince to kill them all. And the prince really did this, it must be Shen Jian's words that were conveyed to the prince.
Shen Wen nodded: "I hope she and the rest of the people can understand better and get out sooner."
Su Wanniang shook her head and said, "I don't think so. Madam Qian hasn't stopped for so many years, she has lost her mind for a long time, and she must not be clear about things..."
After being persuaded by Su Wanniang, Shen Wen felt a little relieved, and when Su Wanniang fell asleep on the side bunk, she was still meditating. Suddenly, she had a feeling in her heart, and quietly recovered from the emptiness, and then slowly stretched out her consciousness, and realized that there was someone standing outside the house. That feeling should be Eunuch Gu, just like the confrontation in the palace.
After a while, the people outside left. Shen Wen took out a simple night gown from his pillow, put it on the outside of the nightgown, and opened the window lightly. Su Wanniang, who was already asleep, turned over. Now that Shen Wen knew that Su Wanniang was prone to insomnia, he didn't want to tell her, so he quickly jumped out of the window and chased her out.
All the way out of the Marquis Mansion, Shen Wen chased after him in the direction of the palace, but he didn't see anyone. Shen Wen gave up and turned back to the Marquis Mansion.
She was thinking, Eunuch Gu didn't stay long, did he come to visit? Why did he come to Hou Mansion? Did you find yourself? Or did you follow the emperor's words? …
Just as he was thinking, there was a "hiss" from the side, Shen Wen slowed down, and a black shadow flashed out. Shen Wen knew who it was, so he didn't stop, and continued to walk for a while, and then stopped after finding a deserted corner, waiting for Zhang Yunzheng from behind to follow.
