Xiao Tingyan stared at her red eyes and whispered. "Madam, do you know that my mother-in-law did not die of illness, but of poisoning? My father did not commit suicide, but He was killed."

Mrs. Liu was startled, and a bit of surprise flashed in her eyes. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer Xiao Tingyan. "Wang... Wangye, how did you know about this? Who did you listen to?"

Xiao Tingyan said the old nanny's name, and he carefully observed Mrs. Liu's expression. When Mrs. Liu heard the name, her eyes turned red even more. "It's her? I thought she had died a long time ago. Unexpectedly, Before she died, she still failed to obey the queen's instructions and kept the truth of that year in her stomach."

After Mrs. Liu said this, she felt that she had said the wrong thing. She quickly covered her mouth and avoided Xiao Tingyan's scrutinizing gaze. Xiao Tingyan frowned and grabbed Mrs. Liu's wrist. "Madam, what you said is true. What do you mean? Why do you say that you keep the truth of that year rotten in your stomach? "

"Do you also know some inside information?"

Ms. Liu didn't dare to look into Xiao Tingyan's eyes. She couldn't bear it. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes. "Your Majesty, can you stop asking? I promised your Majesty that there are some secrets that I won't reveal until my death." of."

Xiao Tingyan clenched his fists and asked every word while holding his breath. "So, you know some of the inside stories of that year, right?"

"Those people poisoned my mother and concubine. They killed my mother and concubine, and also killed my father. The current Holy Emperor can sit on the throne, but he has an unfair reputation. He killed his father and brother. You climbed up to that position step by step by stepping on the flesh and blood of many close relatives of the royal family, right?"

A hint of uneasiness flashed across Mrs. Liu's eyes, and she quickly glanced around the room. She pulled Xiao Tingyan's sleeves and whispered in a low voice: "My lord, be careful that the walls have ears... If, if that person finds out, we will all be in disaster." Already."

"The empress is just afraid of you, Your Majesty. She will find out the truth one day and want to take revenge, thus putting herself in danger. That's why she made the people in Zichen Palace swear a poisonous oath not to tell anyone about her death by poisoning."

Xiao Tingyan smiled brightly, his eyes full of hatred. He gritted his teeth and whispered: "So, all of this is true? Madam, you also know the truth back then, right? Madam, do you think that if you continue to conceal it, Is there any point left?”

"It was because of him that General Zhenguo and Yun Shen died heroically. He had been in power for many years and was headstrong, selfish, cruel, and extremely suspicious. Any ministers who had made some meritorious deeds would be under his suspicion, and thus end up with their families ruined. .”

Mrs. Liu couldn't bear it any longer, covering her lips and sobbing softly. At this moment, she no longer concealed anything, and told the whole story. "The current Holy Lord is a despicable and shameless person from beginning to end... Just as the prince said It was said that he killed his brother and his father, committing a heinous crime. Unfortunately, no one could punish him. Almost all those who knew the inside story were dead."

"That night, all the people in the Zichen Palace were silenced. Even the people around the late emperor were not spared. After he ascended the throne, he purged the imperial court and killed countless ministers who were hostile to him."

...Princess Jiarong left the General's Mansion angrily, and took people to the palace to complain to the emperor. Unexpectedly, she was told that the emperor was busy with something, and he didn't see her at all. Princess Jiarong had no choice but to go to Feiyue Palace to find her. Concubine Wan. With red eyes, she knelt in front of Concubine Wan and complained to her. "Concubine... King Yan is really hateful... He actually openly defied Sheng Ming and brought the Black Feather Guards to fight against me. Not only did he have people beat him I even killed several Imperial Guards. These Imperial Guards were all members of the Emperor Father. Xiao Tingyan was really courageous. He dared to touch even the Emperor Father's people..." Concubine Wan frowned. Eyebrow, she turned to look at Princess Jiarong: "Why didn't you go find your father?"

Princess Jiarong frowned, her eyes full of confusion: "My son went to Chengxin Palace to ask for an audience with his father, but Eunuch Zhou actually stopped him from entering. He said that my father was busy with something... Concubine, you "What's going on with my father these days? He often doesn't go to court in the morning, and he doesn't see anyone during the day."

"How long has it been since he came to your Feiyue Palace?"

Concubine Wan's face became ugly. She thought about it carefully and realized that she had not seen the emperor for more than ten days. She suddenly felt very flustered. She suddenly stood up and said, "I will accompany you to Chengxin Palace to see... …" Princess Jiarong nodded and followed Concubine Wan to Chengxin Palace again. Eunuch Zhou stood outside the palace, always paying attention to what was going on in the palace. When he heard those unpleasant sounds, his face turned red with embarrassment. The emperor is really Yes, at this age, I don’t know how to protect my body at all. Ever since the Snow Kite entered the palace, the Emperor has favored that beauty day and night. The whole person is like a madman. Even the Emperor’s favorite Concubine Wan, the Emperor We haven’t seen each other for more than ten days. A hint of worry flashed in Eunuch Zhou’s eyes. He was in a trance when he saw Concubine Wan and Princess Jiarong coming in from the outside in a menacing manner. Eunuch Zhou’s expression changed. He immediately cheered up, ran forward to please Concubine Wan, and saluted Concubine Wan. "Empress, why are you here?"

Concubine Wan glanced at Eunuch Zhou: "Princess Jiarong has something to do, why doesn't the emperor see her?"

Eunuch Zhou touched his nose with some guilt and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty... He is resting now. I dare not go in and disturb you. Madam, you also know that the Emperor's health has not been very good these days... He After finally resting, even if you give me ten courages, I won’t dare to disturb the emperor’s sleep.”

Concubine Wan frowned, and there was a hint of suspicion in her eyes. "Eunuch Zhou, tell me the truth. What kind of disease did your Majesty contract? Why hasn't he recovered after so long?"

Eunuch Zhou coughed a few times in a low voice: "The imperial doctor looked at it and said that your Majesty's health is somewhat deficient, and it is a bit serious because he has contracted wind and cold again. Your Majesty must stay in bed to recuperate, and cannot be disturbed by anything or anyone. .”

"In the past few days, all matters in the court have been left to King Duan to handle. Fortunately, King Duan did not disappoint His Majesty and handled matters very appropriately."

Concubine Wan looked at Eunuch Zhou impatiently: "Your Majesty is seriously ill, I should go in and serve you... Eunuch Zhou, I would like to ask you, why do you keep stopping me?"

Eunuch Zhou saw that Concubine Wan was a little angry. He was frightened and replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I'm not an old slave, and I won't let you come in to serve you. Your Majesty's disease is actually a bit difficult, and your Majesty is afraid of infecting your Majesty, so he ordered the old slave to do so." , the empress is not allowed to enter."

"My Majesty, please be patient and wait. Maybe in a day or two, Your Majesty's illness will be cured."

Concubine Wan was a little irritable and felt a little uneasy. Suddenly, she heard a woman's moans coming from the inner palace. Her expression suddenly changed, and she looked at Eunuch Zhou coldly: "Are there any concubines waiting in the palace?"

Eunuch Zhou's face turned pale, and he quickly shook his head and explained: "No, it's not the concubines, but the maids who serve you. His Majesty's health is not good, so he must be served by palace servants. Maybe the maid accidentally knocked something over, so he Just call out."

Princess Jiarong said something strange: "Why are you listening to me? This sound is not a scream of someone knocking something over... but more like... a moan when doing that thing."

After saying this, her cheeks turned red uncontrollably. Concubine Wan's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes filled with anger. Without saying a word, she stepped forward and grabbed Eunuch Zhou. He lowered his voice and scolded: "Eunuch Zhou, who do you belong to? Don't forget, your family is all in my hands..." "If you don't tell the truth, I will Just cut off your brother's fingers...and send your nephew to the West."

A hint of anger flashed across Eunuch Zhou's eyes. He quickly knelt down and apologized: "My queen, please calm down... It's not that I want to hide it from you on purpose. It's actually the emperor's order, and I have to obey it."

Concubine Wan asked in a cold voice: "What on earth is the emperor doing?"

Eunuch Zhou trembled and replied: "Your Majesty... He got a beautiful woman named Xueyuan a few days ago. In the past few days, the Emperor claimed to be sick. It was not really that he was sick, but he stayed with this beauty day and night. Together..." After hearing this, Concubine Wan felt her head pounding. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She looked at Eunuch Zhou in disbelief: "No, it's impossible. What kind of stunning beauty can make her Has he forgotten me too?"

Eunuch Zhou closed his eyes and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you will know if you go in and take a look. That Xue Yuan's appearance is similar to that of the Empress when she was young. But her beauty seems to be even more stunning than the Empress... ...Every man who sees it cannot put it down...it is a rare beauty in the world."

Concubine Wan felt a sudden sting in her heart. She could not accept all this. Her face turned pale, she kicked away the guard blocking the palace door, and angrily broke into Chengxin Palace. When she entered the goal, she saw someone standing there. Inside the heavy white curtains, a graceful and graceful figure gradually emerged. She staggered and walked slowly over. Lifting up the white curtains... she saw a charming figure with a graceful figure, wearing only a single tulle. A woman who is alluring in clothes. The woman's eyebrows are red, her face is charming and alluring, and her eyes are sparkling, like a hook, which can hook people's souls with just one look. The woman twists the snake The demon-like slender waist was posing in front of the emperor. The emperor was sitting on the soft couch, looking at the woman with obsession. He was holding the wine cup in one hand, and the other hand was holding the gauze falling from the woman's waist. With a gentle force on his hand, the woman fell into the emperor's arms with a charming scream as if she was weak and boneless. The emperor took a sip of wine, then lowered his head and covered the woman's sexy and plump red lips. The woman whispered charmingly. Smiling, that laughter was captivating and could arouse endless longing and lust in people's hearts. Concubine Wan just stood there in a daze, looking motionless at the two people not far away who were so intimate as if there was no one around. The emperor didn't seem to notice that someone entered the inner palace. He was very devoted and kissed the beauty in his arms... He just felt that this beauty smelled so good that he couldn't help but linger. Her skin was so tender. So tender, he felt like his soul could not help but tremble with the first kiss. It was so ecstasy, so irresistible. He almost wanted to completely drown in her arms and her gentleness. Suddenly, there was a sharp sound. The shout made him wake up. Then he was willing to look up from Xue Yuan and turned his head to look outside in surprise. Concubine Wan's extremely pale cheek came into his eyes. Concubine Wan's eyes turned red. , shaking her body and covering her mouth. She looked at the emperor with pain in her eyes. "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, is this your recuperation? Is this why you are avoiding me?"

The emperor frowned, with a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, and shouted outside the palace: "Eunuch Zhou, get out of here. Who told you to let the others come in..." Eunuch Zhou ran in tremblingly, with a thud. Kneeling on the ground, he kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy. "Your Majesty, please calm down. I can't stop you."

Concubine Wan looked at the emperor blankly and yelled hysterically: "Xianzarenwai? I don't know when did I become your Xianzarenwai?"

"Your Majesty, how could you do this to me?"

Xueyuan was so frightened by Concubine Wan's roar that she shivered. She huddled in the emperor's arms, weak and boneless, and said with some fear: "Your Majesty, I am so scared."

The emperor felt a little distressed and patted her shoulder gently, comforting her softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't let anyone hurt you."

This scene stung Concubine Wan's eyes. She couldn't stand the stimulation anymore. She screamed and rushed towards Xue Yuan in the emperor's arms. She grabbed Xue Yuan's hair and raised her arm. , and slapped Xue Yuan's cheek hard. "Bitch... I'll let you seduce the emperor. Make sure I don't smash your face."

Because Concubine Wan was so fast, the emperor didn't react at all... It wasn't until Concubine Wan's slap fell and Xue Yuan cried to him for help that he came back to his senses. Without even thinking about it, he just backhanded Concubine Wan. A slap. "You shrew, how dare you hit Xue'er, Zhao Waner, how did you become like this?"

Concubine Wan was hit by this slap and fell to the ground hard. Her whole head was covered with confusion. Blood soon overflowed from the corners of her mouth. She slowly stood up and turned to look at the emperor with a pale face. ."Your Majesty...you, you actually hit me?"
