Chapter 482: Chapter 483

Song Yixiao was busy putting down the work in her hands and went to the shelf in front of the screen to fetch a clean handkerchief, going over to dry his long hair by twisting it for him.

“Song Luo Shi’s group of people, I’ve heard father mention it a few times before.” Jian Xubai sat diagonally on the soft couch to facilitate his wife’s movements, slightly closed his eyes and said, “They are before the Ding Ding of the Great Rui, Shen Liu two families waved their divisions to the north, recovering the lost land, for some reason accompanying the army, following the Xiliang Shen all the way to Rongma in the past. Later, the Shen Liu two families discharged their armor and returned to the field, declared to guard the tomb for three generations, they also followed to stay in Xiliang.”

After a pause, “these two years Shen Liu two families to guard the tomb expired, began to plan to rejoin the court … with the two families of the heritage, the idea directly hit to embrace the new king above is not impossible. Just these two families, including the Song clan side branch …”

He pondered for a moment before continuing, “Back then, it was His Majesty Emperor Taizu who focused on suppressing and preventing, and His Majesty Emperor Huizong, after His Majesty Emperor Taizu, even though he had favored Noble Consort Shentu and Lady Zhenyuan, leading to a few years of turmoil in the royal family. However, because the old ministers from the founding of the country are still around, and Emperor Huizong is not a headstrong and conceited person, during his reign, it was considered that the government was smooth and people were at peace.”

The strength of the founding ministers who have been tested by the chaotic world at the end of Yong is needless to say.

“After Emperor Huizong is the royal uncle.”

The ability of Emperor Xianjia needs no further explanation.

“For three generations of emperors, there was not a single fainting king.”

“In this situation, it is, by definition, unlikely that the Shen and Liu families, including the Song clan’s side branch, would want to do something in the imperial capital, in the imperial family.”

Jian Xubai said here, his face suddenly ugly, “Could … it be the Wei family?”

Empress Wei is under house arrest and has already been confirmed to lose her palace power. Empress Su has already begun to select official women into the palace to enrich the harem, and once the advantage of the Crown Prince being the only living son of Emperor Duanhua is lost, the future of Empress Wei’s mother and son will turn from bright and unlimited to dark and confusing!

In any case, it was necessary to retrace the old path of the Dowager Empress and Emperor Xianjia!

If you are unlucky, you may not even have the last laugh …

“But when my clan brother gave Xuan’er to me as a foster son, the Empress was still in love and harmony with His Majesty.” Song Yi smiled and reminded him, “At that time, my clan brother told me that he had learned that His Majesty’s days were numbered, so he was eager to hook up with the Empress and her mother!”

This was something she had told Jian Xubai privately after she returned from Liao Zhou.

However, Jian Xu Bai managed to go to the Imperial Hospital to inquire about it, but thought it was pure nonsense, and told his wife, “I don’t know where my brother heard this news, or with what intention to test the heart! Anyway, don’t mention this kind of words in the future, or else it will be rumored, and there will be a storm for sure!”

In the end, Emperor Duanhua had succeeded to the throne in less than three years, and the Crown Prince was still young, so if the news came out at this time that Emperor Duanhua wouldn’t live long, what would the people underneath think?

In order to be on the safe side, Jian Xubai later also arranged manpower to find out where Song Luoshi inquired about this news of course, he did not tell his wife, after all, Song Luoshi in the end is Song Yixiao’s brother in the clan, and only then gave his son to Song Yixiao as the righteous son, if Song Yixiao know that her husband turned around to investigate his words, it is difficult to avoid the face of dishonor.

And the answer that Jian Xu Bai’s people gave him was that Song Luo Shi had bribed a Imperial Doctor who had treated Emperor Duan Hua.

That eunuch sold the news for a pretty penny.

At this moment, Jane Xubai was silent for a while, and told the matter of his own initial investigation of Song Luoshi, “… I used the people that father gave me, but now you also know that father may not not not coax me. Because if the Song clan side branch really early on began to plan what words, must not bypass the Shen Liu two families, and according to the father’s previous statement, grandmother with the Shen Liu two families relationship is very shallow.”

He also said that the socalled Han Ji’s plot to murder Emperor Duanhua was actually masterminded by Empress Wei, “Song Lu’s visit to the temple to face the Holy Spirit revealed this matter, and at that time, His Majesty himself pursued the matter, and the Empress confessed in the temple, kneeling down and admitting her guilt! However, His Majesty chose to forgive the Empress because the Imperial Uncle did not pursue the Empress during her lifetime. So none of us spread the word afterward.”

In fact, the reason why this matter didn’t circulate wasn’t just because Emperor Duanhua had forgiven Empress Wei in this matter.

Because even if Empress Wei did not poison Emperor Duanhua through the hands of Han Ji, Emperor Duanhua finally adopted the “couch” method to avoid entering the palace to attend to Emperor Xianjia’s illnesses although Emperor Duanhua was also being plotted by his subordinates, and had to follow this plan; although the situation at that time, except for a few people such as Emperor Xianjia, it was indeed a tendeath situation for him to enter the palace; although he finally stepped into the Xuanming Palace at the risk of his own life. Although the situation at that time, in addition to the Emperor Xianjia and a few other people, he went to the palace is indeed a situation of ten deaths; although he finally in the end risked his life and stepped into the Xuanming Palace …

However, if this matter were to spread out as it is, it must not be good for the Emperor’s reputation!

So those who heard this passage in the hall that day did not need to be instructed otherwise by Emperor Duanhua to shut up.

And Jian Xubai at that time think this matter with their own family horizontal and vertical has nothing to do, after returning to the wife did not mention.

Now speaking in a few words about what happened, he frowned and said, “Your Majesty and we didn’t realize that Han Ji turned out to be a scapegoat for the Empress until Song Lu’s revelation! But what the Empress did, she naturally knew in her own heart.”

Then Empress Wei is afraid that one day things will be exposed, and can not get the Duanhua Emperor’s forgiveness, early to save the heart to want to be the Empress Dowager in advance, it is not unlikely?

And as the Fengzhou Wei Clan is very close to the ancestors of Xiliang Shen, Donghu Liu, and Jiangnan Song, it is not surprising that she is secretly extending the olive branch to the Shen and Liu families as well as the Song side branches.

“If that’s the case, then I’m afraid that the reason why my clan brother had to tell me that His Majesty fears that his enjoyment of life won’t last forever is also a cover for their private contact with the Wei family.” Song Yixiao pondered for a moment and said, “So that even if we find out, we’ll think that they’re trying to curry favor with the Crown Prince’s foreign family before he even ascends to the throne.”

As for other people who found out about this, most of them will be credited to Song Yixiao, because she has a good relationship with Empress Wei, and has accepted Song Luoshi’s son as a righteous son, so sending her family to help run an errand is no excuse.

So much so, but it hides Song Luo Shi and their real scheming.

Song Yixiao now has no time to feel angry for being used, she pondered for a while, asked, “If … I mean if, if the person behind my clan brother is really the Empress, what do you … you say we should do? ”

Jian Xubai closed his eyes, a long time did not make a sound, a long time before he sighed, “Tomorrow send someone to check, when there is a definite result then say it!”

After a pause, “Good thing I traveled to Wuhuan back then, in the end there are a few of my own people in my hands. This time don’t father give me people, should be able to find out the truth.”

He clearly avoided the question, and obviously didn’t know how best to answer Song Yixiao’s query?

Emperor Duanhua was his first cousin and had honestly always treated him well.

Even if the matter of blood recognition with King Qing made the two cousins quite embarrassed for a while, in the end, the feelings accumulated over the years could not be eroded.

Jian Xu Bai absolutely did not want to see Emperor Duan Hua’s father and son fight each other.

“It’s late at night, go to sleep!” Song Yi smiled and narrowed her eyes for a moment, stroked his hair scattered on the couch, got up and said, “I still have to be busy tomorrow.”

The next morning, Jian Xubai got up, quietly dispatched people to the palace gate guard, so that after Gu Shao face the saint, immediately probed the letter.

At the end of the hour, Gu Shao took a sedan chair to the palace gate to ask for an audience.

He was already in a good position, and these two days were especially transcendent, so within a few days, he was allowed to enter.

“Is Minister Gu also here to plead for Lady Yan?” When Emperor Duanhua saw him enter the hall, he didn’t wait for him to bow and curtsy before he snorted and asked, “It seems like A Xu is really trying everything to keep this wife of his! Not only did he invite Cousin Qing Jiang over yesterday, I heard that if it wasn’t for Lady Shouchunbo stopping him, he would have even tried to disturb the Imperial Aunt of Jin! I’ve heard it said before that the mother of Mrs. Yan’s mother was too tactful, and that both her former and later husbands were in love with her, and that she has so far bequeathed the seven sons of the Hengshan royal family. Now it seems that this Song is worthy of being Princess Wei’s own daughter!”

Gu Shao knew that the emperor must be very angry in his heart right now, and after greeting him calmly, he first stroked his long beard before saying, “Back to Your Majesty’s words: yesterday the Duke of Yan did come to my place. However, he did not say that he asked me to help plead for Mrs. Yan, but sighed with me, saying that he knew that the reason why His Majesty gave him three days was because His Majesty was not really annoyed with him! It’s just a bit of a beating!”

Emperor Duanhua sniffed a cold laugh and was about to speak, but he saw Gu Shao look at Zhu Qin, who was not far away, and made a wink!

Zhu Qin had been serving Emperor Duanhua for more than ten years, and the two masters and servants were said to have grown up together.

Even though Emperor Duanhua had severely hammered this Great Inner Chief only yesterday, he still trusted him this was something Gu Shao and the others had defaulted to, so it was rare to have hints that even Zhu Qin couldn’t listen to.

At this moment, the emperor pondered, in the end, including Zhu Qin, including a cadre of people are dismissed, and then asked, “Unknown to the Minister of Gu have what important things to report?”

“I beg Your Majesty to first grant me the innocence of my words!” Gu Shao, however, did not answer immediately, but with a solemn arch of his hand, said solemnly, “Otherwise I would not dare to report!”

Emperor Duanhua said suspiciously, “Why should Minister Gu be so outgoing? I will allow you to speak without fear!”

When he said so, the heart began to feel a little apprehensive: because the last recollection of Shao to him begged to say no crime, followed by the same with him to speak of Cui too queen murdered Liang Wangfei thing, this time … always feel a little not too good ah?

Sure enough, the emperor’s premonition came true Gu Shao lowered his head, burying his entire face behind his tooth wattles, before saying, “I want to report to Your Majesty one thing: it is that the reason why the concubine Cui’s would have started to plot against Mrs. Yan’s master and servant back then was not because of a trivial dispute, but because, the concubine Cui’s … suspected that Mrs. Yan was her love rival! Out of cynicism, the party poisoned!”

“Are you saying that Mrs. Yan is on me …?!” Emperor Duanhua was dumbfounded!

Gu Shao, “…!!!”

In the end, the old minister was calm, although speechless for a moment, he still quickly reacted and calmly said, “Your Majesty, at that time, Mrs. Yan had not yet looked up to the face of heaven!”

He didn t even know how to say Duanhua Emperor … At that time, Song Yixiao was only eight years old!

Would an eight year old little girl be so in love with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, whom she had not even met, that she had incurred the cynicism of Cui Mirei?

But to be honest, here Duanhua Emperor was actually pitied by the manpower left behind by Emperor Xianjia those people did find out the truth of the matter clearly, including Cui Miren actually did not like Duanhua Emperor at all, and the one that he truly loved until his death was his other cousin Lu Guanlun.

Helplessly, the investigation was found out, but no one dared to tell Emperor Duanhua!

This group of people that Emperor Xianjia had left to his son, their loyalty was guaranteed, so they concealed this matter, not for fear of being silenced by Emperor Duanhua. Rather, like Zhu Qin’s previous advice, they were afraid that the matter would become a big deal for one thing, Lu Guanlun is in the end Hengshan King’s own son, and even if he succeeded him, Hengshan King couldn’t possibly say that he didn’t care about him at all, and Hengshan King’s lineage has always been not a low status in the royal family; and secondly, at that time, almost every aspect of the world was staring at the results of their investigation, and this matter should be rumored. If this were to spread, where would Emperor Duanhua’s face rest?

Originally, since the emperor ascended to the throne, we do not mention on the mouth, privately feel that he is far from the first emperor. Then rumor has it that even his side consorts don’t see him on … the emperor’s prestige, dignity, will not be gone?

These people then totaled up and thought that anyway, what the emperor mainly wanted to know was the dispute between Song Yixiao and Cui Mirei, so it wouldn’t affect anything to say that the reason why Cui Mirei started to murder Song Yixiao in the first place was because of the argument that happened when she was a fellow student at the women’s school, which led to Cui Mirei’s poisonous hand in a fit of anger. … Bar… …

Duanhua emperor simply did not expect his own father left behind, will use such a euphemistic way “advice”, in the case of not knowing CuiMiRen heart another person, confirm CuiMiRen died in the WeiQueen and SongYiXiao join hands to count after, of course, he thought that even if this cousin’s heart poisonous a little bit, to their own is true.

So as soon as Gu Shao said that Cui Jianren had taken Song Yixiao as a love rival, Emperor Duanhua subconsciously thought of himself …

After he came back to his senses and felt that this was impossible, and then listened to Gu Shao’s euphemistic denials, even the emperor could not help but blush and be very embarrassed at this moment.

After settling his nerves, he said, “If Minister Gu has anything to say, please just say it!”
