Chapter 35 Storm
"Have you heard about what has happened outside the palace recently?" In the afternoon, Xiping was coaxed to take a nap. Mu Bi looked at the pomegranate and said, "No wonder the empress dowager's birthday Princess Anping and the son didn't arrive!"
Mu Bi slightly picked up a few pomegranate seeds and swallowed it before laughing and said, "I almost forgot this matter. On that day, Princess Anping and her son did not arrive. The palace also asked Princess Guangling. Princess Guangling said that Princess Anping was in the house... But what's the matter?"
"What kind of thing is more important than wishing the Empress Dowager her birthday?" Liu's daughter took a veil and half covered her mouth and snickered, "I heard that the reason why Princess Anping couldn't come was because Princess Anping was injured on the face and was afraid of being laughed at at the birthday banquet, which was an excuse that she would not come to the banquet if there was something to do in the house!"
"Princess Anping is the wife of King Anping and the eldest daughter of the Gao family. How can she be beaten?" Mu Bi stared at her nails that had been dyed with phoenix juice and said leisurely, "Where did you hear the news? Don't say that others slander the Anping Palace?"
Liu Yunu said andly, "If it's not allowed, how dare my concubine come to the Empress to make trouble? Now the news has spread all over Ye - it is said that the king of Anping spoiled his wife, and even the princess who gave birth to a son or a cousin was beaten!"
"So, Princess Anping was beaten by King Anping, so she couldn't go out?" Mu Biwei raised her head unexpectedly and looked at her, "Is there such a thing? At least King Anping is also the eldest son of the former emperor and the empress dowager. How can he be so rude! What kind of concubine called King Anping do this for her?
"Do you remember that two years ago, King Anping invited the county head for his daughter?" Liu Yunu blinked her eyes.
Mu Bi nodded slightly: "Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager have rejected this matter. Could it be that King Anping wanted to make such an idea, but was stopped by the princess? It's just that the concubine is 80 years old. Why did King Anping even beat the princess for her?
Liu Yunu curled the corners of her mouth and said, "I heard that the concubine named Baoji is not a good match! She has only given birth to a concubine daughter, but she has been spoiled. Although King Anping was not very good with the princess before she entered the house, at least she often went to the princess's room. Since she entered the house, except for going to the princess on the fifteenth day of the first lunar new year, she almost lived in her yard at other times! Although she is a small concubine, since Baoji followed King Anping, it can be said that she has won the way and become a chicken and dog ascended to heaven. Now many properties of the Anping Palace have been presided over by Baoji's mother's family by the King of Anping. Even the close servants of Anping have used Baoji's brother, called Qu Zhengzhi... Princess Anping is really pitiful, except for her now except for her Most of the things in the royal palace can't be involved. If it hadn't been for Baoji's childlessness, people outside people would have said that they wouldn't know how the life would have passed!"
"With the empress dowager, who dares to abolish the concubine?" Mu Bi frowned slightly, "This is strange. This matter is a matter in Anping's mansion. Why did it suddenly spread all over Yedu?"
"I heard that my concubine was a dowry of Princess Anping." Liu Yunu smiled and said, "The Empress thought that the King of Anping is noble, but Princess Anping's identity was also prominent when she was not married. On the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday, Princess Anping suffered such a big loss in the hands of King Anping. How can she swallow this breath? Therefore, while King Anping entered the palace alone to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday and could not return until the evening, although Baoji was rampant in the royal palace with the favor of King Anping, she did not have the ability to hand over the news into the palace. Therefore, after King Anping entered the palace gate, he surrounded Baoji's yard with a dowry and dragged people out of Baoji in public. Come on, take Jinpin and scratched Baoji's face horizontally and vertically, and then rewarded dozens of sticks! He hit Baoji with one breath left before she stopped!
"That's more, even the princess of Baoji's mother's family was also fierce this time. She searched the study of King Anping, found out the deed of sale of those people, and broke their legs in the court one by one and chased them out, especially Qu Zhengzhi. King Anping entered the palace yesterday. He was a foreign man. , waiting outside the palace, the princess made people take the life of a close waiter's family around Baoji and forced the waiter to tell him that Baoji was suddenly bad and tricked him into returning home and was sent by the princess to press into the pond to drown!"
Liu's daughter said, "When King Anping returned home, he found that many things had happened on this day. Even his beloved concubine was ordered by the princess to kneel for a day. When she saw him return, she fainted. Naturally, she wanted to find the princess to care about it, but the princess was also forced to the extreme this time, regardless of the trouble... King Anping Although she tried to cover it up, there was a princess's dowry who broke out of the house and wanted to go back to Gao's family to report it. At that time, there was already a curfew. Seeing that under the obstruction of Jin Wuwei, she was about to be caught by the king of Anping on the pretext of fleeing slaves and shouted out on the street. It was quiet at night. How could she be dissatisfied with the wind and rain in the city? Now I'm afraid that everyone in Yedu knows that the concubine of King Anping has destroyed his wife!"
Mu Bi snorted slightly and said, "Two years ago, when I entered the palace, the king of Anping asked for a concubine's daughter. Even His Majesty was almost involved. Unexpectedly, two years later, the king of Anping could even fight and embarras the princess for a small concubine... It's really doesn't miss the empress dowager at all. What's your face!"
"My concubine heard that the empress dowager was angry about this matter - originally, the king of Anping had to stop it. She didn't want to appear on the day of Princess Anping's birthday and her son. The empress dowager didn't say anything, but thought about it. The next day, she asked the eldest princess Xuanning to visit the royal palace. She didn't want to see the king of Anping lifting the sword... The concubine I heard that King Anping was so angry that he almost killed the princess!" Liu Yunu covered her mouth with a veil and couldn't bear to say, "At that time, even Princess Xuanning was stunned! Thanks to the timely arrival of the eldest princess, Princess Anping hid behind the eldest princess. At least the king of Anping was still afraid of the eldest princess, so the princess escaped. Now the princess has returned to Gao's house and refused to return to the royal palace!"
Mu Biwei thought that it was no wonder that the Empress Dowager Gao did not do anything about Sun's incident on her birthday these days. It turned out that she was delayed by the affairs of King Anping and his wife... However, Sun's behavior on that day was very abnormal. Could it be that she had long predicted that the Empress Dowager Gao would not have time to care about her birthday?
Thinking about this, I became more and more suspicious about who caused the matter of the Anping Palace. After all, the Anping king and his wife were not very harmonious. They knew it when they entered the palace two years ago. The concubine who gave birth to a common daughter was afraid of gaining power in the house at that time. Since no one has mentioned the favor of the concubine of Anping in the past two years. Mu Biwei didn't believe that it was a coincidence that Mu Biwei didn't believe it was a coincidence to kill his wife.
However, although the Sun family is only one head lower in the palace now, it is still favored, so there are many people in the previous dynasty who flatter her, but the king of Anping is Ji Shen's eldest brother, and Gao is also the eldest daughter of the Gao family. These two people are placed there. With the group of people who please Sun, they want to find out some An. The news of King Ping's Mansion may have the courage to take the opportunity to make a fuss about the matter. Not to mention whether they have the courage or not, they may not have that means!
Mu Biwei asked Liu Yunu, "You said that Ye knows all these news now. What did the Gao family say?"
"My concubine also heard the private discussion of the palace people, but I don't know." Liu Yunu shook her head and said, "But I heard that a lady from Rongchang County entered the palace today."
Mrs. Rongchang County is the sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager Gao, the wife of the current patriarch of the Gao family, and the biological mother of Gao Fu, the princess of Anping. Because the Empress Dowager Gao was very disappointed in Ji Shen's harem, the birthday banquet on September 19 limited the presence of very few people in the palace and the clan. Even the Gao family had to postpone to congratulate her, but now she has entered the palace. Naturally, it's not just for birthday.
At this moment, in the Yi Hall, Mrs. Rongchang County is wiping her tears with a veil: "... Fu Niang is indeed impulsive this time, but she is also the Empress Dowager who grew up watching. The Empress Dowager always said that she is good. Is it a person who doesn't know the importance? That concubine is about to talk about others now. She has endured it for so many years. If she hadn't been forced to head, how could she take action against the concubine? After all, she is just a concubine's daughter. With the empress dowager, who doesn't know that the empress dowager is the most important person to rules? Is she afraid that people will take away the position of the man? Besides, with such a disturbance now, it's just the face of the Gao family... Fu Niang must have been murdered this time, and asked the Empress Dowager to find out the truth, so that Fu Niang should be innocent!"
The Empress Dowager Gao was furious, but listening to the return of the eldest princess Xuanning, the eldest princess saw with the king of Anping holding a sharp blade to pursue the princess, and told her not to attack her sister-in-law at the end. Now she can only hold her heart and cross-examination with Mrs. Rongchang County: "But the beginning of the story is Fu Niang's dowry. !"
"Empress dowager, my concubine is coming to explain this matter to the Empress Dowager today." Mrs. Rongchang County wiped the corners of her eyes, raised her head and said aggrievedly, "That night, Fu Niang only sent the dowry to report to the Gao family and told him to say it in front of several other people. The original words only told him to say that if he was chased by King Anping, and asked Jin Wuwei to send a message to the Gao family, and she did not ask him to tell him about those things in the royal palace at all!"
"Is it necessary to ask people before they know that person?" After all, the Empress Dowager Gao's heart was more inclined to her own son, so she hummed and asked.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Rongchang County cried again: "My concubine also wants to keep the slave that should be killed so that Fu Niang is innocent!" Unexpectedly, the slave shouted a few times on the street, and King Anping raised his hand and shot him to death with an arrow - what did Fu Niang say?"
The Empress Dowager Gao said angrily, "What?"
"At that time, in addition to the people of the royal palace, there was another team of Jinwuwei to testify. The concubine did not dare to deceive. It was indeed the king of Anping who took the initiative to shoot him. How can we find out who instructed him?" Rongchang Junfu shouted injustice for his daughter, but the meaning of the words was very clear. On the one hand, it said that the incident of Anping's palace was leaked out, which made the whole city wind and rain was by Gao Fu. Second, he pointed out that although the person who shouted on the long street was Gao Fu's dowry, he was silenced by King Anping - who knew whether King Anping took this opportunity to think Do you want to abandon Gaofu completely?
The Empress Dowager Gao also thought of this. She scolded a few evil words with hatred and ordered Song Xianren: "Call King Anping!"
