Facts have proved that no matter how they search, they can't find people.

The rank difference is too big, you can't even find out if someone hides above your head.

When the people around him collapsed one after another, the people at Jiangling Gate realized that something was wrong. It's a pity that they didn't have time to come up with a second coping strategy, and their own medication kicked in.

Shen Yuqing easily harvested their heads and left.

The people on the island were not killed, and ordinary disciples were left to collect their bodies. Although, Shen Yuqing wasn't sure if those disciples would run away after being frightened, and didn't have the heart to dig a hole for them and bury them in the ground for safety.

Anyway, the imperial concubine just killed but didn't bury her, she refused to dig and fill the pit.

After killing people, he ran quickly and hired a carriage to go to the field.

Jianglingmen's influence on land is relatively weak, and they don't care much about land business. However, the speed of going overland is obviously much slower, so most caravans would rather pay money to Jiangling Gate than go overland. Only some small traders will go here.

After leaving King Huan's fiefdom, they relaxed a lot. After changing his appearance again, he rushed towards Huaijing.

However, the secret letter had been delivered to Huaijing earlier.

Although the candidate to succeed the governor has not yet been decided, all parties are still arguing. But His Majesty the Emperor has already decided to order a general, and with the imperial decree and the personal guards given by the emperor, he went to the fief first, took him into custody before the governor could react, and Jiangling Gate was also leveled.

This general is none other than a relative of the imperial concubine and the second son of the son-in-law of the Shen family, General Xiao.

After all, he was Miss Shen's second cousin.

However, the two roads he and Shen Yuqing took did not touch each other. Moreover, he set off with the emperor's order, and the task was heavy and the time was tight, so he didn't have time to stop and catch up with Shen Yuqing, although the two of them had nothing to talk about.

Shen Yuqing is only a little familiar with her eldest cousin Xiao Bojin, because after returning to Beijing, he has been serving as the commander of the imperial guards in the palace to protect the safety of the palace.

Shen Yuqing was actually a little skeptical that the second son of the Xiao family was not sent here simply to help suppress a bandit. The emperor now said that he was temporarily sending someone to help manage the fief generation. Who knows if he would simply be made the governor of this place in the future

The excuses are ready-made—Xiao Jiaerlang has been in charge of the fief for a while, so it is better to let him take care of it instead of finding someone unfamiliar to go there.

The development of the incident was indeed as expected by Shen Yuqing. When she arrived in Huaijing, Xiao Erlang's order to take over as governor had already been issued. But the emperor didn't seem to intend to let him stay there for too long, just to gild it so that he could be called back for a better position.

The fiefdom is not easy to manage, the strength over there is intertwined, and good and evil are mixed. He couldn't bear the Xiao family's people staying there, and even stopped Xiao Erlang's wife and children from going to the fief to accompany Xiao Erlang.

In the eyes of those who are interested, it is the emperor who took Xiao Erlang's wife and children as hostages to prevent Xiao Erlang from supporting himself outside.

think too much.

However, they can think of more. The emperor is wary of the Xiao family, because the Xiao family and the Shen family are married, and they are both civil and military, and can support the prince to directly force the palace to take over.

As it was passed on, the emperor became dissatisfied with the prince. But he was worried that abolishing the prince would cause the Xiao family and the Shen family to rebel, and he would directly push the prince to take over, so he could only disintegrate step by step. For example, send Xiao Jia Erlang to a dangerous place first, and then deal with the others slowly after he dies.

When the time is right, the prince can be abolished, and the second prince who descended from the immortal can be made the prince. Doesn't the emperor like the current successor Empress Su the most? He is also closer to the second prince than to the prince, and he is definitely unwilling to let the prince succeed him.

Poor His Majesty the Crown Prince ran away, otherwise, if the imperial concubine who favored the harem back then was still in the palace, it would be Empress Su's turn to be rampant. His Majesty the Emperor was really so dazed that he actually dismissed the harem for Empress Su.

The gossip spreads well, but in the end it is because they are afraid of the emperor's investigation, so they only dare to talk about it in private. At least on the bright side, no one dares to discuss it openly.

Shen Yuqing heard those people's whispers with her good ears, and she was very speechless. The emperor must be obsessed with beauty lately, and he only cares about pleasing his wife every day, otherwise the rumors in Beijing must have already reached his ears, so there is no room for those people to continue discussing in private.

The imperial concubine who put on Taoist robes and the empress who put on long princess palace skirts handed over the sign to enter the palace together. Naturally, their current identities can only go to see the successor and the queen mother, and can no longer flirt with the emperor. The two of them didn't mention meeting the emperor at all, although they felt that they would definitely see the emperor when they saw the queen.

After going to the Zichen Palace to meet her successor, Su Qiaorong now the entire harem is her territory alone, even the concubines in the cold palace have been kicked out. She didn't live in Fengyi Palace at all, and lived in Zichen Palace with the emperor. Therefore, going to Zichen Palace can often see the whole emperor and empress at once.

The crown prince, the second prince, and Princess Qingxi were driven to the Chonghua Hall in the former West Palace, where the prince lived. Originally, the princess shouldn't live here, but has her own small palace in the harem, but Qingxi hates living in the harem, so she insists on living with her younger brother.

Now there are only the emperor, empress Su and queen mother in the palace, and all the concubines are gone. The three of them live in the middle of the harem, and there is no living person in the east and west palaces except the palace servants, so she doesn't want to live in it alone.

So she ran to Chonghua Hall to accompany her younger brother, the three sisters lived close to each other and loved each other. The key is that it is also very close to Wenwuzhai and the official school, both of which are in the former West Palace, so you don't have to go too far to go to school.

Empress Su has no objection, so His Majesty the Emperor has no objection, so let them go. Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not able to live in the East Palace, and he was wronged and squeezed into the Chonghua Palace with his sister and younger brother. From the eyes of outsiders, it became an ironclad proof that the Crown Prince was not favored.

How can a prince not live in the East Palace? It was fine to raise her by the imperial concubine's side before, but now that the imperial concubine is away and the prince is seven years old, it's time to be independent.

The East Palace is located in the former East Palace, occupying a large area, as big as two Chonghua Halls. It has a self-contained system inside, just like a small palace, where the princes of all ages fought with jealousy.

It's a pity that Qiuqiu is not interested. It's boring to live in such a big place alone. Lives with sister and brother and can (cross out) tease them (cross out) have a partner.

Empress Su saw that the three children got along very well, so she simply locked the big and small harem palaces. Let the palace people go in and clean it every month, and no one goes in and out on weekdays.

In this way, there are a large number of idle palace people in the palace, the older ones are released, and the younger ones are kept to work and serve. The staff in the entire palace has been greatly reduced, saving a lot of money every month.

His Majesty the Emperor felt that his daughter-in-law was a good wife and mother who managed the family properly, but Su Qiaorong thought in her heart that there were fewer people and fewer things to do, and finally she had more free time every day. If she continues to be so busy, she really wants to put down the burden and go back to her mother's house.

After meeting the emperor in the Zichen Palace, they casually recounted the old days, and then went to the Shoukang Palace together to chat and have dinner with the Empress Dowager.

The three children followed, and Qi Xue, who was outside the palace, entered the palace one after another. The whole family sat neatly around the big round table, chatting while eating.

The queen mother said that Qixue was going to recruit a son-in-law, and Qixue was so scared that she didn't even have the heart to eat. Empress Su was saying that the three children had to choose a companion to study with, and asked Shen Yuqing to help them choose one. His Majesty the Emperor buried his head in hard work, pretending that nothing happened to him.

On the one hand, the queen mother forced him to stand on her side, and on the other hand, the younger sister's earnest eyes begged him not to agree to recruit a son-in-law. He wanted to ask his wife for help and found that she ignored him, and he wanted to help his sister but couldn't stand the eyes of the empress dowager, so he had no choice but to pretend that he didn't exist anymore.

His Royal Highness the old god is eating, anyway, there is nothing for their children here. When his mother asked him what kind of companion he wanted, he thought about it seriously and said: "The cousin of the big cousin's family is very good. She cries when she is bullied. She cries very cutely."

The imperial concubine: "???"

What happened to his son during the year she was gone? ! Why even the little girl started to bully!

Baby, do you remember you were a man? What kind of skill is bullying a girl's family

The prince looked innocent: "I didn't bully it, it was Dudu. My cousin is so cute, so I won't bully her."

He is a handsome prince, how can he bully girls? So he watched his younger brother bullying, and then admired the way the girl was crying.

Qingxi glanced at Qiuqiu silently, and did not expose him, she lighted a wax for her little cousin in her heart.

Among the Xiao family and their children of the same generation, there is only one girl. There are quite a lot of skin boys running around, but there is only one little girl. Moreover, the Xiao family has inherited the glorious tradition of the Shen family, and is especially precious to their daughter, so this little girl is loved and spoiled at home.

It's also hard for Dudu to bully her beloved daughter so many times, yet she hasn't been kicked out yet. Probably because of the empress's face, otherwise, he would have been beaten into a pig's head long ago.

Shen Yuqing's generation is not bad. Among the eight children of the Xiao family, there are three girls, all of whom are married now.

The boss who liked to dress up as a man married a dandy who admired her. After marrying his wife, the dandy worked hard to improve himself, although he still had no skills and was afraid of his wife. But he really doesn't mess around anymore, he clocks in and goes to work seriously every day, and he doesn't dislike the low position of his idle job that relies on family connections.

General Xiao saw that his son-in-law was making progress, so he helped him. Now the young couple are living a happy life and have given birth to two fat boys.

Talking about men every day is not a good thing, and the second girl, who must have her husband castrated after getting married, fell in love with a chivalrous woman. A chivalrous girl has no parents, only the master who raised her, who has passed away. After the two met the second girl's parents, they both wandered around the world as a couple of gods and immortals.

Now it occupies a mountain and built a villa to take in orphans. Those who like to practice martial arts teach them martial arts, and those who don't like to practice martial arts teach them skills. Every day is very fulfilling.

The third girl of the Confused Demon King has reached the age of marriage, but no one dares to marry at all. So the marriage could not be settled for a long time, but the Xiao family was not in a hurry, their daughter could support her for the rest of her life. The Xiao family's family of generals has big fists, so they are not afraid of others' gossip.

There are five remaining men. Except for the youngest Hachiro who is trying to take the imperial examination, the other four have already married wives and had children. However, the eldest daughter gave birth to a daughter, and the remaining Ke Jinsheng only gave birth to a bunch of annoying sons. Now a group of little bastards are running around in Xiao's house every day, doing evil. Relying on the law and not blaming others, dare to do anything.

When Dudu was sent to Xiao's family to learn martial arts, they tortured him terribly. Later, when I got acquainted with them, I joined them and tossed together, establishing a deep revolutionary friendship.

General Xiao watched his grandsons making trouble every day with a smile, and ignored them. It's also quite interesting to watch the sons go up to the sky and into the ground with sticks to drive out their own cubs.

Only the little granddaughter Ranran is very quiet, sitting next to her grandma every day, propping up her little chin to watch her brothers and sisters making trouble. She has small dimples when she smiles, and she has a very soft personality, delicate and well-behaved, and is lovable.

Because Dudu likes these friends very much, he often sneaks to Xiao's house to play with them. As the elder brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, of course, has to arrest people frequently, so that the younger brother won't go home at night after playing crazy outside.

After coming and going, Quiet Qiuqiu became good friends with Quiet little cousin Ranran. However, the black-bellied Qiuqiu would not help when Dudu bullied Ranran. Every time, after Ranran cried for a while, he would gently comfort the little cousin.

The innocent little cousin doesn't know Qiuqiu's sinister intentions at all, so she regards Qiuqiu as her favorite and gentle brother.

The youngsters of the Xiao family: How angry! Why does this guy from the palace surpass them and become Ranran's favorite brother!

A group of more than a dozen radish heads went to block the ball, intending to teach the prince an unforgettable lesson, telling him not to try to snatch their sister/sister away. However, Qiuqiu just looked up at them calmly, and then - called her sister Qingxi to come over and beat them up one by one.

Carrot heads: ...

Qiuqiu can't beat carrot heads now, but his sister can beat them. When he has mastered martial arts in the future, he can fight by himself without bothering his sister.

It's totally unreasonable for the younger brother to accuse Princess Qingxi, and he can beat whoever the younger brother says. None of the Xiao family's group of radish is taller than her, and the martial arts are naturally the same. After beating him up a few times, he became honest. Although he was still upset, he complained in his heart that the prince was actually called a parent.

After growing up, they were beaten back by the prince one by one.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used his strength to tell them who the idiot was.

Of course, this is all for later. Now His Royal Highness is trying to let the little cousin into the palace, so that he can enjoy the crying of the cousin every day.

"No." His Majesty looked up, "How can your companion be a girl?"

The crown prince picked a girl to be his companion, what will happen if it spreads? Obsessed with beauty at a young age

Qiuqiu said as a matter of course: "Then let Ranran be my sister's companion."

Anyway, my sister has to choose one.

"I don't want it." Qingxi, who was controlled by an outsider and her ex-brother, was a spoiled little girl in front of her mother. If the mother is not here, she will take on the responsibility of the big sister, but if the mother is here, she will not let the younger brother.

Who is not a baby anymore, hum!

Qingxi snuggled up to Shen Yuqing's side: "Mother, I want Little Fatty Shen to be my reading companion."

Shen Liyi, the little fat boy of the Shen family, was surrounded by Qingxi since he was a child, and he seems to have become Qingxi's child bride-in-law. If you ask Shen Liyi now, the eleven-year-old boy who is no longer fat will still shyly express that he wants to marry cousin Qingxi in the future.

Although Qingxi still took one bite at a time, Shen Liyi didn't seem to mind.

"Princess can't find a man to read with." The imperial concubine is very good at dealing with family conflicts, she said in a godlike manner, "Otherwise you and Qiuqiu will trade, and Qiuqiu will choose Shen Liyi for you, and you will choose Ranran for Qiuqiu." .”

Qingxi thought about it, and thought it was okay. Zhuantou and Qiuqiu happily reached a consensus, and became siblings who love each other again—if Qiuqiu hadn't stolen the crystal bag on her plate while she wasn't paying attention.

That's the last one! She finally snatched it from Dudu's hands!

Qingxi was so angry that she said harshly that she wouldn't help him beat up Xiao's little bastard next time. Qiuqiu didn't care at all, anyway, Qingxi said so, she would still help him next time.

In the end, Dudu was left. He said that one companion was not enough, and he wanted a group. The intention was obvious, he wanted to get all the cubs from the Xiao family into the palace to play with him.

"Good idea." No one else said anything, his mother slapped him, almost pushing his head into the rice bowl, "Eat your rice."

As soon as Empress Su spoke, His Majesty the Emperor dared not refute no matter how much he cared about his son. He pretended not to see his son's eyes asking for help and complaining, and continued to pretend to be a transparent person.

Qiuqiu looked left and right, and suddenly said: "The emperor needs someone to control him."

"That's right." Qingxi gloated and agreed.

The two of you said one sentence to the other, making Dudu so angry. But he couldn't find a chance to interrupt, so he listened to Qiuqiu talking about a lot of messy truths, and finally came up with a bad idea: "Look, the son of Lin Yushi's family is not bad, although he is serious and rigid, and his age is younger than that." The emperor is many years older, but his personality is upright and meticulous, and he complements the emperor."

Dudu stared at his brother in disbelief, that young master of the Lin family is like a boring old pedant, he knows how to study hard every day, he doesn't want to stay with such a person! He is still a six-year-old child, so he should be playing happily every day!

"Okay, stop making trouble." The empress dowager said, "Dudu is still young, so don't worry about reading with him. When he has something he likes in the future, it won't be too late to choose."

After all, she still felt sorry for her grandson, especially when she saw Empress Su's expression eager to agree, so she had to quickly end the topic. Otherwise, as soon as Su Qiaorong agreed, the matter would be settled.

Empress Su was cut off by the queen mother, and she was a little regretful. She felt that her son was too noisy, and it would be good to let the child of the Lin family help him manage it, since she was too lazy to discipline him anyway.

Dudu was about to break out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but sigh that Grandma Huang still loved him, and he might have been picked up by his mother.

After eating, the children hurried away, for fear that this group of adults who were always thinking about doing things would give them an unbearable burden of life. The emperor hurried back to the house to hug his wife, and signaled Shen Yuqing to leave quickly with his eyes. Shen Yuqing glanced at her, and took Fu Qiushui to leave.

Qi Xue frowned, and found that finding her a son-in-law seemed out of the question, so she began to think about the feasibility of running away from home.

After returning to the princess mansion, Shen Yuqing excitedly called Dongxiao to ask about what happened in Huaijing this year.

Nothing major happened in Huaijing City, and the palace was similar. All that can be said is where the dismissed concubines have gone and how they are doing now.

Shen Yuqing didn't feel bored, so she let her talk.

She was really curious, it was the first time she saw the disbanded harem. Where can the concubine go after leaving the palace? Will the natal family be willing to accept them? What should I do if my mother's family collapses

Dong Xiao said helplessly: "If there is nowhere to go, His Majesty will allow them to live in the Royal Courtyard."

Anyway, there are many other imperial courts, so it doesn't matter to raise a group of idlers. However, only accommodation is provided, and other food and clothing expenses are paid by themselves.

But before the concubine left the palace, she gave a sum of severance money and allowed them to take away the things in their private treasury. Therefore, the concubines are not short of money, only those who are in the cold palace are poor.

For example, Yu Kexin, who was imprisoned, could only take the money that Empress Su kindly gave her to find her younger brother, Young Master Yu. At any rate, Young Master Yu is still there. Six years have passed, and the new Yu family is on the right track. Although it is possible that members of the Yu family hate Yu Kexin very much now, Mr. Yu will protect her, and no matter how bad it is, he can buy her a house so that she can live in a place far away from the Yu family in peace.

Those who are left from their natal families can go back to their natal homes, and those who don’t want to go back can go to another hospital. If you don't want to go to another hospital, you can decide where to go by yourself.

For example, Mrs. Mei bid farewell to her friends in a chic way, hired people from the bodyguard bureau, and took her confidants and gold and silver treasures to other cities. Then he bought a house and servants in the courtyard, and began to live the life of a local rich man.

The magistrate knew that this was Mrs. Mei, who was once very favored. Although she had left the harem, she didn't have the guts to let her have trouble in her jurisdiction. Who knows if His Majesty the Emperor will suddenly think of her

So the magistrate specifically told the people below to take care of this lady more, so as not to let anything happen to her. If there is anything in normal times, it will be more convenient for you.

Mrs. Mei lives happily here, no one dares to bully her just because she is a single woman.

After a few months like this, the little friend suddenly came to her. It turned out that their life in the other courtyard was not very satisfactory. Those low-ranking concubines often came to ridicule them when they were bored, saying that they were kicked out because of their high status.

The three little friends couldn't bear the disturbance, so they came to find Mrs. Mei. Four single women live together, as if life has returned to the past, and it is quite comfortable.
