Guan Suyi walked around in the green and green imperial garden, and then walked forward, passing through a nine-curved corridor, which was the Changle Palace. Between the flowers and the willows, she vaguely heard someone talking behind the rockery not far away, and only when she got close did she recognize the words "Emperor, life is hard". She walked over quietly, raised her hand again and made a silent motion. The palace maids and servants who followed her immediately held their breaths and hid their tracks.
"I heard that the emperor took a fancy to a Han woman again, and just brought him back to the palace yesterday and sealed the position of Rong Hua. He is very fond of him." This voice was very shrill and should be a servant.
Another palace maid spoke up, "The emperor's fate only dares to touch Han women, and he has a low family background, otherwise he will kill the person, how can he explain to the courtiers. Ye Jieyu was fine earlier, but she died suddenly in the end. And died? I heard that the emperor was the reincarnation of an evil spirit, and it was broken..."
The palace maid described the scene of the emperor's birth in detail, and sighed at the end, "Pity this Guan Ronghua, who thought that entering the palace was to enjoy happiness, but who would have stepped into the gate of hell. Just wait, she will be with Ye Jie. Yu is normal, and will be killed within a few years. If the emperor's son is damaged, it will be even worse. Maybe one day he will be cut in the belly and a little evil spirit will come out. I heard that the emperor can't hold back from time to time. Ghost qi will show its true shape, blue face, fangs, red eyes, and kill everyone. Is this true or false? Have you seen it?"
"Everyone I've seen with my own eyes has gone to Huangquan, how can I stand and talk to you?" The maid's voice was trembling, obviously frightened.
Next, the two murmured and said some gossip, nothing more than how the emperor brutally murdered, how strange his fate, and how bizarre his life experience was.
Guan Suyi stood quietly on the spot with a calm expression, while Ming Lan and Jin Zi looked at her frequently, one was horrified, the other was filled with righteous indignation. When Jin Zi took a step forward and was about to teach the two behind the rockery, she was stopped by her.
In this moment, the two had already gone far away, and Guan Suyi said indifferently, "It's just a diversion scheme, don't worry about it." If someone else heard those terrifying inside stories, they might be frightened and alienated. Avoiding the emperor, but not disturbing her mind at all.
She has a brain and can distinguish between good and bad. Although it is helpless to enter the palace, it is true that the emperor saved her father. He has the supreme right, and one sentence can determine life and death, but in the case of no effort, Guan Suyi never expects him to escort him. In the final analysis, most of the world's relationships tend to be about interests. There are back-and-forth, gains and losses, both unwilling to pay and wanting to earn rewards. How can there be such a good thing in the world
So she gave herself willingly and got a satisfactory result. She has no resentment towards the emperor, but is rather grateful. Although he stood on the sidelines and waited for him to surrender, he protected his father in the end. If not, after several rounds of torture, his father would have been unjustly killed in prison.
As for his fate and life experience, who else can know better than himself? After thinking about it, Guan Suyi shook her head and continued to walk forward. What my father said was right. The harem, like the court, had constant disputes. Before that, the emperor had not eliminated the evil, so he was quite afraid of pregnant women and children. This was why he did not favor the concubines of the harem, but instead raised the heart of the queen mother. At first, she probably just wanted to resist the emperor and achieve a certain psychological balance, because she was not doing well, so others should not think about it better, but she unexpectedly hit the wrong way, forcing out the emperor's inner demon.
She watched the emperor become more and more crazy and out of control day by day, she should be very proud of it. However, even so, she could not feel satisfied. While giving medicine to the concubines and concubines in the harem, she induced and controlled them spiritually, making them see the emperor as a ghost.
Everyone thinks you are abnormal, and everyone says you are an outlier. Who will feel better after hearing this too much? No wonder the emperor did not want to favor the concubines in the harem. He not only tabooed his own life experience, but also hated the faces of those people.
Guan Suyi thought about it all the way, and already understood how to act in the future. All in all, she and the emperor are on the same boat, and the rest are enemies and cannot be trusted. In her wild thoughts, when Changle Palace arrived, she respectfully saluted the Queen Mother, then pretended to sit down absent-mindedly, said nothing, looked around, asked what she asked and answered, as if she was very obedient, but her hands were clenched into fists, revealing her innermost feelings. Fear and apprehension.
The queen mother was very satisfied with her response, and her attitude became kinder, and she said a lot with a smile. After a while, Queen Xu Yayan brought the sixth emperor’s grandson to greet him, and after the Queen Mother sat down, she asked in a meaningful way, “Since Guan Ronghua has entered the palace, if you think about your father’s case, it will be over, right?”
What can't you call it? Doesn't it imply that his father did commit a capital crime, but was released because of his servant Israel? It was the first time that Guan Suyi had such a strong distaste for a certain person, and she immediately said coldly, "Return to the maiden, the case is not over, and it is still being thoroughly investigated. My father has evidence to prove his innocence, the nine murder cases. They are all unjust cases, and the culprit will be brought to justice sooner or later. My father sits upright and has no shame, even if he is not afraid of Bo Gongtang, but blames some people for revenge for private revenge, framing and smearing the official hat on his head. , also stained the mirror of the sky."
She paused for a moment, and then said, "Before the concubine entered the palace, I vaguely heard that the elder brother of the empress was also involved in a murder case, and I don't know who made up the rumors, but said that the elder brother was arbitrarily digging the upper river channel, which saved his own governance. The counties and counties in the lower reaches were not affected by the floods, but tens of thousands of people downstream were submerged by the floods, or lost their lives, or displaced their homes. It is truly tragic. When the concubine heard this, it was a lie. There is no such thing as a beast in the world. , who only cares about his own political achievements, but regards the people of Limin as ants. If there is such a wicked animal, let alone how the people hate and curse, even God has to send thunder to kill him."
Seeing Xu Yayan's face turning blue, she continued, "However, the concubine heard that the elder brother has been reading the words of the sage since he was a child. Not only is he talented, but his character is also very noble, how can he do such a wicked thing as a thunderclap? It can be seen that the rumors are unbelievable. Niangniang should not worry, as the saying goes, those who are clean are self-cleaning, and those who are dirty are self-cleaning, and when the emperor thoroughly investigates, he will definitely make his brother innocent." At the end, he leaned over and bowed, with a firm tone and expression. sincere.
Xu Yayan was scolded one by one by her, and she was so angry that she had to smile and thank her. She was originally displeased with her, but now it has become ten. She glanced at the queen mother, with an anxious look in her eyes. It was obvious that she was very clear about her brother's affairs. This was asking the queen mother for help.
The empress dowager wanted to adopt the sixth emperor's grandson to the empress, and naturally she was not afraid that she would cause trouble. If you have trouble, you can grasp the handle, and when you grasp the handle, you can control. She thought about it for a while and decided to come down, so she was about to send Guan Suyi away, but at this moment, the three princes and concubines came to greet her with their children, and surrounded the empress dowager to flatter.
It's hard to open your mouth when expelling people, so the queen mother had to wink at the queen to make her feel safe.
Guan Suyi was pushed aside by everyone, but she didn't feel uncomfortable, took a sip from the teacup, and then picked up the cakes to eat. She could feel the dark tide in the Changle Palace. There was only one emperor, but there were many grandsons, and all of them had strong backgrounds. Just because the six grandsons were smart and clever and knew how to please the queen mother, they gave him the position of the crown prince. Can you be willing
As long as the emperor does not nod his head for a day, the battle between several princes and concubines will not stop, and the queen is caught between several major forces, and has already become the most dangerous one. It's a pity that she has stood on the cusp of the storm but she doesn't know how bright the future is.
Thinking of this, Guan Suyi lowered her eyes and smiled secretly, and then she became slightly cold.
Just at this moment, the sound of "the emperor is coming" came from outside the hall, and everyone quickly stopped the open and secret fight and went out to greet them. Now who can get the crown prince, it is all in the emperor's thoughts, and the princes and concubines who have always avoided him like snakes and scorpions are no longer hypocritical, and they are rushing to curry favor.
Emperor Shengyuan did not hide his love for his wife, he walked over and pulled her up and placed her beside him, and then he waved his hands to let everyone off the ceremony. The empress dowager sat firmly on the throne and asked, "Your Majesty, how have you thought about the matter that Aijia asked you a few days ago?"
All the princes and concubines looked at him with undisguised eagerness and ambition in their eyes.
Emperor Shengyuan held his wife's fair little hand and said in a loose tone, "I'm still thinking about it. Several nephews are all capable, and they are still young, so it would be a bit hasty to establish a prince at this time."
Except for the eldest prince concubine, the other two concubines nodded secretly.
The queen mother was afraid that the night would be too long, and wanted to persuade again, but the emperor continued to say, "Well, let the third, fifth, and sixth be handed over to Shen Jieyu, Pan Jieyu and the queen to raise them, and wait until they get older. If you show your temperament and talent, I will decide again."
This arrangement seems reasonable and reasonable, but in fact it completely separates the three princes and concubines, and also alienates their relationship with the queen mother. The emerging dignitaries represented stood in their respective teams. And the aristocratic families that were excluded were not far behind, and they had to use some means to seize the opportunity. All kinds of forces were isolated, forming a relationship of mutual restraint, suppression and balance, which stabilized the court for the time being.
In the process of winning the heirloom, the emperor can completely stand on the sidelines, and when several major forces fight and weaken each other, he can slowly control the overall situation.
What if someone could see through his intentions? The interests are there, you don't fight for them, and many people take their place. At least the other two princes and concubines were extremely satisfied with his arrangement and were already kneeling on the ground to thank him. The Queen Mother couldn't say anything against it. No matter who was on the throne, it was her direct grandson. She couldn't put the rest to death for the sake of the sixth emperor's grandson. The big names standing behind them.
After thinking about it, the queen mother finally nodded and said, "Then do as you said."
Emperor Shengyuan felt his wife scratching his palm, and couldn't help but smile, while the eldest prince and Xu Yayan changed their faces.
