She Yue sneered: "Tantai Xuanye wants to be the emperor?"
"I don't know what they want," Qin Xiao said, "But when we came in just now, Huang Sheng tested the food for poison. It seems that Tantai Xuanye is very concerned about the princess's safety."
She Yue said: "Maybe he still wants to use me for something, but the time has not come yet." Holding Qin Xiao's hand, he asked softly: "How are you in the northeast? I have no news about you, and I miss you day and night.
.”
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Everything is fine. I heard that there were changes in Kyoto, so I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I ran back secretly."
"You have thousands of men, who can just leave?" She Yue looked into Qin Xiao's eyes and said quietly: "Am I that important in your heart?"
Qin Xiao took She Yue into his arms and said softly: "Who made you my big treasure? If you are not important, who else is important?"
She Yue leaned against Qin Xiao and said, "If you can treat me like this, I...I am already satisfied."
"By the way, have you heard of the Embroidered Clothes Messenger?" Qin Xiao asked.
She Yue wondered: "How to mention them?"
"you know?"
"Not many people know about the Messenger of Embroidered Clothes." She Yue said: "Actually, the Messenger of Embroidered Clothes is somewhat similar to the current Ziyi Prison, but it is very different. The Ziyi Prison has its own yamen, but the Messenger of Embroidered Clothes is only for palace protection.
Father’s inner prisoner.”
Qin Xiao said: "Internal prison?"
She Yue said: "You know Wei Wuya, he is also an internal prisoner, but his biggest responsibility is to protect the saint. In addition to Wei Wuya, there are also some purple-clothed prisoner people deployed in the palace. They are just palace guards on the surface.
They are eunuchs who obey orders, but they pay attention to everything around the saint. As long as anyone approaches the saint, these people will be ready to take action at any time." His beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and he said softly: "Have you been to the imperial study room to meet him?"
Qin Xiao nodded, and She Yue said: "Then do you only see Wei Wuya staying with the saint?"
"Yes." Qin Xiao said: "Every time I meet the saint, Wei Wuya is waiting by his side like a wooden stake."
She Yue smiled and said: "Wei Wuya is the best line of defense. Before you enter the imperial study, everything you say and do will be watched by others, but you can't see those people." After a pause, he said: "My father is still alive.
At that time, there was also a group of people in the palace who protected and guarded my father day and night and were loyal to him."
"Then do you know Ren Shitian?"
She Yue nodded and said, "You mean Grand Duke Ren? Do you know him?"
"Duke Ren?"
"Ren Dagong is the general manager of the embroidery messenger, and my father named him the embroidery general." She Yue said: "When my father was still a prince, Ren Dagong served him. He was loyal to his father, even though he was only a palace official.
But my father respected him very much and asked me to call him Grand Duke since I was a child." After thinking about it, he said: "I remember that Grand Duke Ren treated me very well when I was a child. Some of his subordinates often left Beijing on business, and when they came back
, the Grand Duke always asks those people to bring me some gadgets."
Qin Xiao saw She Yue's gentle expression when she mentioned Ren Shitian, knowing that she had a good feeling for Ren Shitian.
"My father never allowed me to read idle books." A faint smile appeared on the corners of She Yue's lips and said: "But Grand Master Ren secretly asked someone to bring me some folk idle books. There are many bizarre stories in them. I made an agreement with him.
, don't tell anyone." Qin Xiao asked: "Why is there no messenger in the palace now? And I have almost never heard of the messenger in embroidery."
"How do you know about the Embroidered Clothes Messenger and Grand Duke Ren?"
Qin Xiao knew that he couldn't confess and entered the archives, so he could only say: "I heard someone mentioned it, but I was just curious."
She Yue didn't ask any more questions, and sighed softly: "I remember that it was the embroidered messengers who caused trouble in the palace, so my father ordered them all to be killed. This matter was very unexpected, and it was handled very neatly. Everything was originally fine.
Okay, by the time I know this, Grand Duke Ren and the Embroidered Clothes Messengers have been cut off." He shook his head and said: "I still don't believe that the Embroidered Clothes Messengers will cause trouble. I don't know how many Embroidered Clothes Messengers there are.
, but I know several of them. These people were carefully selected by Grand Duke Ren. I heard that the selection conditions are very strict. Not ordinary eunuchs can serve as embroiderers. Grand Duke Ren is loyal to his father, so he selected
Naturally, he is not a bad person, let alone betraying his father...!"
"I heard that there are still embroidered clothes messengers who escaped execution and fled to the end of the world." Qin Xiao said: "And the leader responsible for killing the embroidered clothes messengers is none other than Wei Wuya."
She Yue frowned and said: "I don't know about this. But I remember that Wei Wuya had a very good relationship with Grand Duke Ren at that time. Grand Duke Ren was not only the general of embroidery, but also the chief steward of the inner palace. Wei Wuya was also
I was serving as an errand under Grand Duke Ren, and I remember that he should have been the director of the Yin Shou Supervisory Department at that time."
Qin Xiao said softly: "Then do you remember that after the execution of the embroidered messenger, the late emperor died in less than a year?"
"Remember." She Yue said sadly: "After that incident, it seemed that only seven or eight months had passed before my father passed away." After a pause, he looked at Qin Xiao and saw that Qin Xiao also had a solemn look on his face.
He couldn't help but ask: "Did you find anything strange about this matter?"
"Did the late Emperor's health always remain poor before his death?"
She Yue nodded and said: "Actually, my father has been lying on the bed for more than a year. My father's health is indeed not very good, but he is not as weak as the rumors say. I remember that Grand Duke Ren taught my father a regimen of health care.
As long as you stick to it every day, you can strengthen your body."
"Did the late Emperor ever practice?"
"Yes." She Yue said: "My father not only practiced by himself, but also took me to practice with him. Moreover, my father's body became better and his complexion was also very good. But for some reason, my father's body became better the day before his funeral.
Years ago, his health suddenly took a turn for the worse. When I asked my father to play with me, he always looked tired and said he was tired...!" At this point, he pondered for a moment before saying: "Until
Later, my body became weaker and weaker, and even walking became a problem, so I had to stay in bed to recuperate."
Qin Xiaodao: "Is it the saint who has been serving the late emperor?"
"Yes." She Yue's face became a little ugly, and she said slowly: "After my father went to bed, she personally served in front of him, and reviewed the memorials for him." She frowned, thought for a while, and then said: "Then
It was a very difficult time. Not only was her father's body weak, but Changning also suddenly suffered from a serious illness. Her body felt hot, which lasted for more than half a month. After that serious illness, she became taciturn and sat in silence every day. No one talked to her.
They don't even pay attention to me. They stick to me only when they are around me, but they don't say anything."
Qin Xiao thought of Princess Changning and asked softly: "Princess Changning is because of that serious illness, so...!"
She Yue nodded and said: "Chang Ning was only five years old at that time. Originally, we all thought that she would get better if she took care of herself slowly, but... But since then, although her appearance and body have grown, her wisdom has not.
It seems like I’m stuck in that year forever.”
"The imperial doctor can't figure out why?"
She Yue shook her head and said: "Over the years, the imperial doctor has seen me, and I have also sent people to find famous doctors for diagnosis and treatment, but I can't figure out why." She sighed and said, "If it weren't for Changning, I wouldn't have done it back then.
I know the saint is using me, but I still want to be used by him."
Qin Xiaodao: "After the late emperor was lying on the bed, he was unable to manage the government, so the saint assisted in the administration of the government. It was also when the late emperor was lying on the bed that he issued the decree to kill the messenger of embroidered clothes." Gazing at She Yue's charming eyes, he asked softly
: "Do you think that decree was really made by the late emperor?"
She Yue was not surprised and said softly: "I know what you mean. Do you think that the decree was issued by the saint in the name of the emperor in order to eradicate the cronies around the emperor? In fact, I have always thought so, but that
The matter was handled so cleanly that no traces were left afterward, and since then, the words "Embroidered Clothes Envoy" cannot even be mentioned in the palace. I don't have any evidence, so naturally I can't be sure that it was definitely done by a saint." He paused.
After a pause, he even whispered: "However, in the more than a year when the saint assisted in the affairs of the court, a large number of officials in the court were indeed dismissed, and many officials were promoted. Now that I think about it, these were all done by the saint in advance in order to sit on the throne.
deploy."
"So in order to control the inner palace, it is natural to kill Ren Shitian and others." Qin Xiao knew it in his heart at this moment. He knew that there was a big earthquake in the palace that was unknown to everyone. Today, the saints are cutting off dissidents in the palace.
In order to control the late emperor, Ren Shitian and others must be killed.
The Embroidered Clothes Messenger was executed not because of rebellion, but because he was too loyal to the late emperor.
It's just that today's saints may not have thought that when she controlled the inner palace and the late emperor, many years later, she would be controlled by others, and she would also be used by others as a tool to control the emperor and control the world.
"Before the late emperor's funeral, the embroidered messenger in the palace was killed, and there was another major case." Qin Xiao said: "Do you know Hailing Marquis?"
"Hailing Marquis?" She Yue didn't think about it for a moment. She thought for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "You mean the Hailing Su family?"
"Exactly." Qin Xiaodao: "The Su family of Hailing in Yangzhou. A few months before the funeral of the late emperor, there was a decree specifically to kill the Su family of Hailinghou. It is said that the crime was that Hailinghou colluded with the pirates and intended to rebel. The imperial court issued a decree
The next decree is to kill the five Su family clans in Hailing."
She Yue said: "I remember, the Su family of Hailing Marquis is the natal family of Concubine Li. Yes, Empress Yuhua is from the Su family. The Su family of Hailing was granted the title of Marquis because Concubine Li was favored and the father loved the house.
He made his father the Marquis of Hailing."
"Empress Jihua?" Qin Xiao's body shook violently, showing a look of shock.
Of course he knows who Empress Jiehua is.
When Qiuniang first entered the palace, she served beside Empress Yuhua. It was precisely because of that experience that Qiuniang and Sister Hui got to know each other, and they took care of each other and were as close as sisters.
To this day, Qiuniang and Sister Hui still cherish the kindness of Empress Jihua.
Qin Xiao still remembered that Empress Jihua was pregnant. Qiuniang was transferred away after Empress Jihua became pregnant, but Sister Hui stayed. However, Empress Jihua suddenly contracted a serious illness, which resulted in a miscarriage.
Passed away from illness.
He never expected that the Hailing Marquis Su family would have such a close relationship with Empress Jiaohua.
