Don't say that the people in the capital were dumbfounded.
Even the feudal kings were very dumbfounded!
Who knew that the King of Southwest had such a hidden disease?
It just happened to be said at this juncture.
What normal man would be willing to tell everyone about his "disease" without any cover-up?
It’s just nonsense!
When the feudal lord came to Kyoto, he could only stay at the inn.
When the King of Quanzhou heard about the "hidden illness" of the King of Southwest, he was stunned for a moment and sneered: "... He is indeed an evil ghost. He really dares to say anything just to peel off a layer of the emperor's skin."
He didn't think that the Southwest King really had any hidden diseases.
You can tell with just your toes that the Southwest King took the opportunity to increase the pressure and force the emperor to make greater concessions!
Even if the emperor knew it, it would be useless! People are already so "miserable", do you, the emperor, still have the nerve to invite people to find out whether the Southwest King really has a "hidden disease"?
To put it bluntly, this is a conspiracy by the Southwest King! It’s the kind of thing that the emperor can’t do anything about!
I don’t know how angry the emperor will be!
The other vassal kings also guessed the "unexpected" move of the Southwest King.
They all lamented that the King of Southwest was a lunatic who was worthy of being called a devil.
How dare you even say such words casually.
It is indeed quite crazy and quite shameless.
On the other side, King Yongye who lives in Baima Inn woke up early in the morning and heard his attendant coming to report the situation. He said angrily: "King! We found a lot of tung oil in our backyard! There are also fire sticks that have not been lit!"
The fat flesh on Yongye King's round body shook and he got up.
"What?! Tongyou! Huozhezi!?"
Someone is deliberately trying to burn him to death!
King Yongye's heart skipped a beat when he thought of the fire at the palace banquet.
This capital city...is inextricable from fire, right?
"Yes King!"
King Yong Ye quickly took people to check, and saw tung oil everywhere in the backyard, and some blood on the ground, which had turned dark red. In addition, there were unlit fire sticks.
I didn’t notice much next to it, just the grass on the bluestone tiles, which felt a little messy.
King Yongye said solemnly: "Check it out for me! I want to see who wants to harm me!"
Of course, the King of Evernight couldn't find anything.
When Jiang Li took Fubao and the others away, he deliberately pushed back the bluestone tiles to cover up the tunnel.
As for the prince's dead men who later fainted, since the matter was not settled, it was impossible for the prince's plot to be exposed.
So the body of the companion whose eyes were gouged out was hurriedly taken away, but there was no time to deal with other situations at the scene, especially the troublesome tung oil.
This caused King Yong Ye to mistakenly think that someone was trying to harm him, so he immediately told the emperor about it in tears and asked the emperor to protect him.
Royal Palace.
The emperor listened to the Southwest King's "hidden illness" remarks and looked at the Yongye King's complaints, and it was really a big deal!
This time, even if Concubine An was there, the emperor still got very angry!
"It's really unreasonable! It's unreasonable! I've already made so many concessions! The King of Southwest is really unreasonable!"
Concubine An worriedly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, calm down, the imperial doctor said, you can't get angry easily."
The emperor had no choice but to take a deep breath to calm himself down.
After calming down, the emperor felt something strange.
How could the palace suddenly catch fire? And now King Yongye has also come to report that someone wants to harm him, and they still use tung oil to make fire... It's just that King Yongye didn't succeed for some reason.
The emperor didn't know that he had been misled, and thought he had deduced the truth - someone was trying to murder the prince and the vassal prince, and deliberately sow discord between the court and the vassal prince, in order to weaken his imperial power!
His face darkened and he immediately said: "Show the Palace of Mental Cultivation!"
He wanted to find out who was behind it! The entire imperial city was under martial law! Those who came in were not allowed to go out, and those who went out... couldn't come in for the time being! He wanted to see what was happening under his iron barrel.
Who else in the imperial city dares to be so arrogant!
"His Majesty……"
The emperor turned back to Concubine An and said, "Please take care of the pregnancy."
Then he got on a sedan chair and drove him to the Yangxin Hall. This time, even Concubine An couldn't keep him.
As soon as the emperor left, Concubine An sat in her palace for a while and then went to the queen to pay her respects.
Concubine Jing would be late from time to time or refuse to go when asking for an invitation. Concubine An, on the other hand, was very restrained in her behavior and always arrived at the Queen's Palace early.
She took every step carefully, for fear of making a mistake.
In the Queen's palace, the maid came to report: "Your Majesty, I would like to see my concubine."
The queen then opened her eyes quietly, with a very worried look on her face.
The Queen also knew about the incident between the Crown Prince and Yu Wen Yan, although she didn't know whether Yu Wen Yan was really dead or whether her son and Yu Wen Yan had reached some kind of cooperation.
But she cleverly pretended not to know. She had already seen her son's intelligence.
At this moment, when An Bin came, the queen had already put on her makeup and said: "An Bin is a month old and has a heavy body. Please invite her in."
"yes."
After a while, Concubine An came in with the support of her personal maid. Just as she was about to salute, the queen said: "There is no need to salute. You are already a month old and your body is inconvenient. Sit down and rest. If there is nothing to do in the future, you can do it."
There is no need to come to say hello, the emperor's heir is important."
Concubine An obeyed and blessed her body slightly with gratitude, "I would like to thank the Queen for your kindness. But these rules are just rules. Your Majesty is the Queen of the Middle Palace, and I should come to pay my respects to you. You must not break the rules."
"
At this moment, the queen really looked at An Bin for the first time.
Her appearance is not outstanding, but Xiaojiabiyu's concubine An is really well-behaved and speaks nicely. No wonder it is not unreasonable to win the emperor's favor like this.
An Bin is a smart person.
"Sit down, concubine, there is no need to be formal."
"Thank you, empress."
Concubine An sat down with the support of the people around her. After a while, Concubine Jing, who usually didn't like to come to greet her, turned out to be late today.
"Empress, Concubine Jing is here to say hello to you."
The queen frowned slightly and said, "...Didn't Concubine Jing complain of illness yesterday? She seems to be in low spirits these days, so I don't need to pay my respects and ask her to go back."
Although Concubine Jing's behavior is much more restrained, Concubine Jing is still Concubine Jing after all, and her behavior is still a little erratic.
Since the death of Eunuch Xie, Concubine Jing has been claiming to be ill for several days. Even when the emperor summoned her to sleep with him, she would occasionally refuse because of her illness.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Jing, who didn't even like to come to say hello, would come today.
The queen didn't bother to look at her face, so she didn't need to worry.
Before the maid could go down to ask Concubine Jing to go back, Concubine Jing had already walked in before anyone arrived.
"Thank you, the Empress, for your consideration. I have improved a lot. Why, I came here specifically to pay a visit to the Empress."
Today, it seems that Concubine Jing is dressed up carefully. She is dressed in a lotus pink dress that makes her even more charming. She has light makeup on her face and looks very energetic.
Concubine An stood up and said, "I have met Concubine Jing."
Concubine Jing glanced at her, then withdrew her gaze, and said lazily: "Sit down, so as not to say that I don't care about you being pregnant."
Concubine An looked a little worried, but the other party was the concubine.
She was just a little concubine An. Concubine An lowered her eyes and said, "...Thank you, Concubine Jing."
Concubine An sat down and the queen glanced at Concubine Jing.
"Concubine Jing looks very good today."
"Some people are gone, can I not be happy in my heart?"
As soon as Concubine Jing said these words, the expressions of the Queen and Concubine An changed slightly.
The "someone left" that Concubine Jing said was naturally referring to Concubine Hui's hanging to death last night.
The emperor was so angry that after Concubine Hui's death, he could not even enter the concubine's mausoleum.
She was simply wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave. Who could have imagined that the concubine who was once a dignified concubine would end up like this?
Although the queen, concubine An and other concubines did not mention it, they still felt sad in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Jing showed her happiness so vividly and even decorated herself before going out.
