"No, the successor saint did not become the princess, but only became the concubine of King Jingnan." Aunt Wusang shook her head.
Ming Lanruo rubbed her eyebrows: "..."
Why did she become a concubine again? The bastard born to a concubine can also inherit the throne. It seems that King Jingnan really loves this saint, or perhaps this saint is very capable.
Aunt Wusang sneered: "The newly succeeded saint is still the girl Long Tiao had an affair with another woman and sent to Saint Aguna. She is indeed very capable."
Ming Lanruo couldn't help but ask: "I remember that saints can't marry, right?"
Moreover, if the saint's status is so high in Miao territory, why did she become a concubine for a Han prince? Can the people of Miao territory agree?
Aunt Wusang sighed: "Her name is on the jade plate of the Han clan. She is the concubine of the old Jingnan King, but we Gu Miao do not recognize this set of Han things."
"As long as the successor saint does not admit that she is married internally and only says that it was a casual relationship, the most she will receive is a few criticisms, and no one can do anything to her."
Ming Lanruo couldn't help but laugh: "But once you get married, you get married. Is it possible that after she gave birth to a son for old King Jingnan, she could still leave King Jingnan and go back to the mountains to let other male Gu masters serve her?"
Aunt Wusang nodded simply: "Yes, after she gave birth to the crown prince Chu Yuanbai, she left Jingnan Palace and returned to the mountains. She also gave birth to a daughter with another male Gu master, named... Xiang
Na!"
It is much easier for a fake "saint" without a Gu god in her body to conceive than a real saint with a Gu god in her body.
Ming Lanruo was silent, feeling that her outlook on life had been greatly impacted: "This successor saint is really amazing."
No wonder the people in Miao territory have no objections. After all, the new saint herself has shown through her own actions that she is... free.
The key is that this old King Jingnan is really generous!
His concubine gave birth to a bastard, allowed her to leave him, and gave birth to a daughter with another man.
Not only did the old King Jingnan not feel unhappy about wearing the cuckold, he was also very happy to make this bastard his heir... and became the current King Xiao Jingnan.
Just, outrageous!
But Aunt Wusang shook her head: "I think King Jingnan may not be generous, but what kind of deal could Long Tiao have when he dedicated his daughter to King Jingnan?"
Ming Lan Ruo slightly pondered: "Well, it must be a deal that can benefit both of them."
She also recognizes this. All things that go against common sense must be the inside story!
Ming Lanruo fed Xiao Xi a sweet ice bowl and said lightly——
"Speaking of it, this great chieftain of Dragon Cry is really a powerful person. Not only did he make his daughter a saint, but he also used his daughter to hook up with the old Jingnan King and made his grandson the little Jingnan King."
Although there is no Gu God in this saint's body, she is still the Saint of Baimiao in name. No matter how you look at it, it is an "expensive and decent gift". It is indeed a good deal to give it to King Jingnan.
Aunt Wusang nodded: "Yes, the great chieftain Longti dedicated the saint to Queen Jingnan. Since then, he has received the support of the Jingnan Palace and has become the most powerful person in the entire three provinces of southwest China, except for the King of Jingnan.
.”
Ming Lanruo rubbed her temples: "These things are really giving people a headache!"
She just felt that from decades ago to now, the relationship between these characters was intricate and complicated.
Aunt Wusang smiled gloomily: "Miss, did I speak too garbledly when I got excited? Actually..."
Xiao Xier suddenly interrupted: "Actually, there are only four key points of the matter -"
"First, after Xiao Shuai's wife died more than 40 years ago, he passed by Miao territory on business and met Agu, the saint of Bai Miao. She became pregnant with her daughter - Xiao Guanyin."
"Second, Grandma Agu's ex-husband, Long Tiao, wanted to be the boss of Miao territory, so he took the opportunity to plot against Grandma Agu, forcing her to elope to the Central Plains with Xiao Shuai with the Gu God in order to save her child."
"Thirdly, the position of the Miao saint was vacated. Long Tiao gave his and his lover's daughter to be the saint. Later, he gave his daughter to the old King of Jingnan as his concubine, and his grandson became the concubine.
King Xiaojingnan!"
"Fourth, this Xiao Jingnan King captured Agu and wanted to find the Gu God she took away."
The little guy clapped his fingers and spoke in a clear and logical manner, then said in an old-fashioned manner: "What we have to deal with is this little Jingnan King, and rescue Grandma Agu. Everything else is not important. Anyone who doesn't understand now is a fool!"
Minglanruo & Aunt Wusang: "..."
Very good, concise and clear in key points, indeed even fools can understand it.
…
Aunt Wusang coughed in embarrassment. She seemed to have said too many irrelevant things, but she still couldn't help but want to add something -
"The old King Jingnan is not in good health. The prince of Jingnan has been managing the Jingnan Palace since he was a teenager. Recently, the old King Jingnan simply gave up the throne to him. He has already gone to Beijing to thank the emperor for the reward."
Ming Lanruo tapped her fingertips lightly on the table and narrowed her eyes: "If King Xiaojing Nan and the Great Wizard of Miaojiang don't find the Gu God for a day, grandma's life will not be in danger for the time being."
"That's right." Aunt Wusang nodded.
Ming Lanruo pondered for a while: "I will find an opportunity to see what kind of person this Xiao Jingnan King is before making further plans."
Aunt Wusang frowned and held Ming Lanruo's hand worriedly: "Miss, you must be careful!"
If the king of Jingnan or the great wizard of Miao Jiang discovers that the eldest lady has a Gu god in her body, the eldest lady will be in danger!
"Auntie, don't worry, I will be careful." Ming Lanruo lazily reached out and touched the small bamboo cage containing rhubarb at her waist.
In danger?
The Gu God is in her body, and the red-eyed Spider God is her 'dog'. She wants to see who is more likely to be 'in danger'.
Her grandmother, Grandma Agu, is a kind person and a saint in the true sense. Otherwise, she would not be possessed by the Gu God and be forced into desperation.
But she Ming Lanruo...may not be that kind.
Her kindness is only reserved for those who truly deserve it.
She narrowed her cold eyes, lowered her head and kissed Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi suddenly raised her head and asked in a sweet voice: "Mom, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days. Do you want to ask your uncle and grandpa to come for dinner?"
Ming Lanruo raised an eyebrow: "It's rare. Xiaoxi wants to see her uncle and grandpa?"
The sun comes out in the west?
Xiao Xi tilted her little head: "I just think that if I want to trouble King Xiao Jingnan with something like this, I should leave it to the big eunuch!"
He smiled innocently: "Anyway, isn't Dongchang responsible for doing bad things? Make the best use of everything, so that my mother can spend more time with Xiaoxi!"
Otherwise, why would you ask the eunuch to come for dinner? Should you let him steal your mother's wife from you?
Ming Lanruo was stunned for a moment, then she forced herself to hold back her laughter until she almost burst into tears: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The natures of these father and son are exactly the same as enemies!
…
The King of Qin had a great victory in suppressing the bandits, and in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace banquet was held for three consecutive days.
The palace banquet on the third day was held in the imperial garden.
After three rounds of drinking, all the ministers and clan members were quite drunk.
Emperor Ming's face turned red after drinking, and he suddenly stood up, took the wine glass, and walked towards Cang Qiao, who was sitting at the bottom of his house, shaking it.
"My dear...hehe, I am so happy...the remnants of the Xiao family are all dead...all dead...and gone to accompany the late emperor...they all died...haha...this world belongs to me!"
He suddenly hugged Cang Qiao's arm and felt extremely good.
Several ministers who were preparing to gather around for a toast wished they had not heard anything and lowered their heads as low as possible.
Cang Qiao frowned and said coldly to several ministers: "Go down and don't let anyone come over."
"Yes, Master Qiantose!" Several ministers ran away immediately, as if they were being chased by ghosts.
After dismissing the others, Cang Qiao looked expressionlessly at Emperor Ming, who had not seen him for several months and was now thinner and older. He stretched out his hand to support him: "Your Majesty drank too much."
"Uh..." Emperor Ming burped and patted Cang Qiao on the shoulder with a smile: "Thanks to Aiqing's personal action this time, we were able to wipe out the remnants of the Xiao family... Aiqing is really the best knife in my hand... uh
…”
Cang Qiao said calmly: "It is my duty to serve His Majesty."
Emperor Ming looked at Cang Qiao with drunken eyes, full of regret: "It's a pity that Aiqing has such a good appearance... uh... it's a pity... I can't favor her..."
"Your Majesty, you're drunk!" Cang Qiao's eyes instantly darkened, and she suddenly interrupted him coldly, grabbing his arm acupoint with her backhand.
Emperor Ming's face suddenly turned pale, but he was too confused to speak anymore.
