Chapter 23, He Shenshen

The night is hazy, and the moonlight is like a silver plate hanging high. On August 16th, the full moon is like a bright pearl, emitting a clear light that envelopes the courtyard.

Such a beautiful night is like a scroll. If someone with a heart will definitely be amazed to see it tonight.

However, Lu Zhaoyi and Qu Zhiyun sat quietly in the front yard hall, staring at the door with a serious expression.

They were waiting for the arrival of Princess Liang.

The spies outside came in every cup of tea to inform the Liang Palace where the carriage was currently on.

Listening to the report, Qu Zhiyun felt something was wrong and couldn't help but complain, "It's not too far from the fangmen to the outside of the mansion. Look at this time, I can walk."

"Tsk, I'm the princess, so don't be so rude." Lu Zhaoyi was shocked and scolded.

Qu Zhiyun squinted her head, snorted, and stopped talking.

Finally, after another cup of tea, a gorgeous and luxurious carriage approached and slowly stopped at the gate.

Hearing the news, Lu Zhaoyi got up, glanced at her, asked her to get up, and went out to greet her.

Speaking of this, Qu Zhiyun stood up from the table unhappily, went out to greet her, muttering, "Just just a princess, and she's still such a big place..."

Lu Zhaoyi shook her head and sighed softly.

When she arrived outside the mansion, she happened to see Su Xiu Niang get out of the carriage and was about to go up and speak when she saw her single finger against her mouth and made a gesture of silence.

This move really surprised Qu Zhiyun, but Lu Zhaoyi was very quick to guess that there was another person on the carriage.

Su Xiuniang turned around and called respectfully at the carriage, "Miss Lu's mansion has arrived, please condescend to move!"

Then, a tiny sound of clothes rubbing from the carriage came from the carriage.

At this time, Lu Zhaoyi and Qu Zhiyun looked at each other, and their expressions immediately became surprised, and their eyes were fixed on the curtains of the carriage.z.br

Sure enough, the curtains of the carriage were lifted, revealing a slim figure. The woman in red and a gold hairpin seemed to be young, and her hair was tied up, which also indicates that the woman had already married and was full of valuable things.

She was carrying a pair of gold bracelets on her wrist, and she looked quite majestic.

It seemed that he could see the doubt in Qu Zhiyun's eyes, while Lu Zhaoyi narrowed her eyes. She saw the appearance of the visitor clearly and couldn't help but show an extremely complicated expression. Su Xiniang turned around again and faced them.

"This one is..."

She was about to prepare for an introduction, but Lu Zhaoyi immediately stopped her, "You don't have to mention it, I know you... I'll ask your wife, hurry up and enter the mansion!"

This woman was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a beautiful face, long black hair, drooping over her shoulders, and a faint fragrance that made her nose feel refreshed and refreshed.

But the chill that faintly flashed in his eyes made people feel trembling and chilling.

Su Xiuniang realized that the atmosphere was a little weird, walked up a few steps and said with a smile, "It's getting late, it's windy outside, so talk about it in detail..."

The woman's face was calm, and accompanied by Su Xiu Niang, she entered the mansion first.

Seeing that she had already entered, Lu Zhaoyi was about to follow her, but Qu Zhiyun pulled her back with a nervous look and asked, "Who is this person? Look at Princess Liang so respectful!"

Seeing this, she raised her eyes slightly, her eyes were blurred, and it seemed extremely complicated, "That is the mother of King Peng, Concubine Hong..."

"Concubine Hong?" Qu Zhiyun was surprised, "It was the lady who had given birth to the wife who was known as the child prodigy and was posthumously named King Ai by His Majesty?"

"Here is called the concubine..." Lu Zhaoyi corrected her, then hurriedly led her and followed her.

Walking behind Concubine Hong, suddenly, an extremely gentle voice came from the front, "Miss Lu, the courtyard here is quite unique..."

Lu Zhaoyi hurriedly responded, "Thank you for praise!"

It took a long time, but I didn't hear Concubine Hong speak. When she was about to look up, the soft voice remembered again, "I heard the Empress Dowager talk about you many times. She is indeed a smart lady..."

"The concubine praises her, Qi Niang really dares not be the one!" Lu Zhaoyi hurriedly said modestly, "The concubine is the real intelligence and wisdom."

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Hong in front seemed to chuckle and walked into the hall, sat in the first position, with a graceful posture and her eyes staring at her tightly.

"King Peng is still young and it's too early to open the mansion. In the past two years, it has been thanks to the care of King Liang and Princess Liang, so my son has been living a good life."

When Lu Zhaoyi heard her suddenly talk about this, she couldn't help but feel strange, but she didn't think much about it, let's see what she said later.

Su Xiu Niang was dignified from beginning to end. Out of respect for her elders, she always responded half-loweredly.

At this time, Concubine Hong's eyes fell on Lu Zhaoyi's face and looked at her carefully. Her face was delicate and small, with a smile on the corners of her lips, her eyes were clear, and her appearance was even more peerless.

Just now, she didn't see clearly under the moonlight, but now she could see this face clearly in the house with the candlelight.

"So, "Hebei Pretty Girl" looks like this and is really worthy of his reputation." Concubine Hong sighed, "There are no one here. I have clearly stated the purpose of my visit to you this time..."

"Please ask the concubine but say it's okay!" Finally, when she heard her head straight to the point, Lu Zhaoyi suddenly relaxed a little. The atmosphere just now felt a little suffocating.

"Since you have solved the danger of King Liang and King Peng's troubles, can you please help me?"

"What's wrong with King Peng?" She didn't understand. King Peng Xiaji opened the palace at the age of ten. Now, he is only eleven years old. Is there anyone in the capital who wants to attack him like that?

Concubine Hong sighed, unable to speak, and looked at Su Xiu Niang, as if she hoped that she would retell it on her behalf.

Seeing her eyes falling on her body, Su Xiniang bowed slightly and nodded.

She turned her head and said to Lu Zhaoyi, "Qi Niang, you may not know that King Peng is young and is not popular in the court and the country. For more than a year, my husband has been often disciplined."

"But recently, King Han often goes to and from Prince Peng's mansion. I don't know what King Han said to him. In recent days, he often insults his elder brother if he disagrees. And these words have somehow been heard by Your Majesty. Although Your Majesty did not blame him for insulting himself, if this continues, it is difficult to guarantee that Your Majesty has other thoughts. Therefore, my husband thinks about you, can you investigate this matter and find out what King Han said to him, which makes him so excited!"

After hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi lowered her head and thought deeply. It seemed that after a long time, she asked, "How long has this happened?"

"That time, you and I stayed in the palace the next day, and when we went back, we discovered this!"

"It's not a few days!" She said casually, and then began to think deeply.

This matter is indeed a bit difficult. If she agrees rashly in this situation, it will definitely have some adverse effects on Your Majesty. Moreover, she is not a member of the royal family. If she intervenes in this move, wouldn’t Xia Pei be suspicious again?

While she was hesitating about how to speak, Su Xiuniang said, "Although King Peng is the son of the previous king, he is not the kind that is not unpopular among the royal family. Many uncles and uncles in the royal family like him very much. However, once this matter continues to ferment, it may cause disgust among the uncles and uncles!"

The words ended here. Whether it was Concubine Hong or Su Xiu Niang, they all focused on her, and hoped that she could agree.

And the more this happens, the more she feels something is wrong, and a hint of confusion passes through her eyebrows.

Not long after, Lu Zhaoyi raised her head again and said softly, "Let's do it! I'll send someone to inquire first, and then think about how to deal with this matter. King Han and King Peng are both His Majesty's younger brothers. What to do is to do, but another plan is needed!"

Her answer made Concubine Hong nod her head in satisfaction, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "If this happens, I will trouble you!"

"It's just a little effort." Lu Zhaoyi smiled slightly, but she felt unsure in her heart.

Qu Zhiyun was afraid, and although she didn't say a word, her eyes kept turning around.

Even she knew that this matter was not so easy to deal with, but she also heard her agree without permission, and her face was pale and she dared not speak casually.

Lu Zhaoyi also observed the change in her expression, and did not mention it again, so she continued to look at Concubine Hong

Asked, "But I'm very curious, why did you suddenly leave the palace? The Queen Mother and Your Majesty should know that you have left the palace, right?"

When she heard her say this, Concubine Hong seemed a little nervous. If this Concubine came not just for the matter of King Peng, then the purpose of this trip would be not simple.

Sure enough, when Concubine Hong heard her ask, her face suddenly became gloomy.

She sighed, "You are right. However, I also told the Queen Mother that I wanted to see my son, so I agreed."

The Empress Dowager and Concubine Hong both had three sons, but unlike the Empress Dowager’s three sons, Concubine Hong’s first son was named a child prodigy, but he was in poor health and died early. Therefore, after his second son, he asked him to go out and walk around more often, hoping that they could live a healthy and long life.

If King Ai did not die prematurely, but lived to this day, with Duke Wu's love for this son, perhaps the position of Prince Yuan and the later throne would be King Ai.

If this is true, perhaps Xia Pei would not have been here to sit in the emperor today.

Of course, people in the world only dare to think about such words in their hearts, but they dare not say them out.

Today, Xia Pei has gained the heart of surrender to the world, and his position as emperor has become more and more stable. Perhaps he doesn't care much about the world's rhetoric.

At this moment, Lu Zhaoyi raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Hong, and she was indeed very curious about her departure from the palace this time.

"Pretty, please forgive Qi Niang for being quick-talked. Qi Niang doesn't think that the Empress Dowager will easily allow the Empress Dowager to leave the palace. Other concubines living in Yongshou Palace may not be allowed to go out even if they have children."

She said this, paused and continued to ask, "Qian Niang wants to hear the truth from the concubine."

Now, she has something to ask for, and she is the wife of the former king, so she has no power in hand. Since this is the case, as a court official, she will not be polite to her like Su Xiu Niang.

Concubine Hong also knew this well. When she heard her say this, her face immediately became nervous and stunned.

At this moment, the atmosphere was indeed a bit solemn. Su Xi Niang and Qu Zhiyun were both shutting up and taking deep breaths, not daring to say more.
