Abandoned Daughter from a Noble Family: Poison to the World
Chapter 74 Penetrating the Bone
"A lame man is also the emperor's son. You are just a son of a family, what do you mean?"
Su Wanqing was domineering and did not take the Pei family of Longxi into consideration at all.
In fact, in the Yun Kingdom, the emperor was really not as good as a son of aristocratic families. Since the previous dynasty, there have been many noble families in Guanlong, and ministers of third rank and above are all from major aristocratic families.
Even Su Bai is from the Su family in Huaizuo.
However, Su Wanqing didn't care.
Pei Xianyu smiled as warmly as a spring breeze, "Miss, you can follow my bodyguard tonight, dress up as a medical girl, and enter the palace together to diagnose the illness of Concubine Yue."
In the past few years, the Pei family has not produced a general. They rely on the concubine Yue who married into the palace.
Pei Xianyu is the nephew of Concubine Yue.
Su Wanqing held up the huge and magnificent peony, smelling the fragrance of the flowers, and the bell on her wrist dangled.
"Let's see how capable you are."
...
The old emperor knew nothing about martial arts and martial arts, and he was very talented when he was young. However, he especially loved to write erotic palace-style poems, indulged in love, and gradually lost his talents.
It's ridiculous that in troubled times, this emperor only knows calligraphy and appreciates beauties.
The capital of the Yun Kingdom was built in the north. The terrain is flat and the climate is not very good. It was only because Taizu believed that the dragon veins converged here that he decided to build it in Yunchuan City.
As night falls, a dark green carriage driven by a powerful driver slowly drives into the palace.
"Why do you have to enter the palace so late?"
The guard stopped him, and he looked up at the dim sky.
"I have been ordered to exorcise the evil spirits of the Moon Concubine. Here is the token."
The driver took out a pure gold token. It was heavy and full of wealth.
"Let go!"
The guards separated on both sides to make way.
Su Wanqing had not worn clothes for a long time. Now she changed into the plain white dress of a medical girl, and she was still a little restrained, which was quite unaccustomed to her.
The harem was the same as in the previous dynasty, and the emperor's women had different ranks. The queen was the wife, the ancestral wife who could accompany the emperor to worship ancestors, and could not be included in this category.
The concubine is the first rank, followed by the concubine.
There are all kinds of people, no less than seven or eight grades, and the higher the grade, the higher the monthly salary.
In the past, I had always read in history books that the emperor favored and trusted his ministers. Su Wanqing thought that he had used the wrong words. But now when he stepped into the harem, the ladies and eunuchs along the way knelt down and worshiped him when they saw the carriages.
Only then did she realize that the ministers, like the concubines, were actually the emperor's favored playthings. The male ministers worked long-term for the emperor, and the female ministers gave birth to the emperor's children, and the cycle continued to protect him for generations to come.
"Girl, just follow Empress Yue Fei's personal maid, Qing Niao, and she will take you to meet that person."
The coachman took her to Shuanghua Palace where Yue Fei lived, and handed Su Wanqing over to a palace maid in her twenties.
As for Concubine Yue, who had suffered a stroke, she was leaning on a limp bed in the open air of Shuanghua Palace, holding an ice-cracked wine cup with one hand and sipping the fragrant wine.
A curtain was propped up in front of her, and a puppet show was being performed. It was the White Snake who flooded Chentangguan.
She watched intently, and Su Wanqing thought she hadn't noticed her. Qingxiao opened the door for her and invited her to leave the palace first, and then Concubine Yue waved her hand painted with blood-red Kou Dan.
"Don't cause trouble for me. Wei Changfeng is trying to regulate the atmosphere in the harem. You should avoid her."
Yuefei reminded Su Wanqing to thank her with fists in his hands.
That Wei Changfeng was the aunt of General Lu Ling who came to the rescue from Guoqing Temple that day. She was the concubine who had replaced the queen for many years.
When Concubine Jing was alive, even if she saw her, she would bow her head and lower her eyebrows.
Glazed tiles and vermilion walls, Su Wanqing was cautious and cautious, staring at the green bricks under his feet and following Qing Niao closely.
The emperor ordered all the princes of Chaoshang to be imprisoned. Although the emperor himself went to Taibai Court, he still tabooed the royal family to play with men.
When the late emperor was still alive, he favored a male favorite named Zhao Huainan. Without any merit, he granted him the title of prince, a fiefdom, and even gave him several copper mines and the privilege of minting coins.
The throne is almost given to a male favorite.
Fortunately, the old emperor, who was still the crown prince at the time, was smart and encouraged his uncle Dugu Xin to launch a palace coup, kill his male favorite in one fell swoop, and imprison the late emperor. Only then did he transform from crown prince to emperor.
Su Wanqing still had the jade Buddha gift from Prince Ning hanging around his neck. Not long after, Qing Niao stopped in the backyard of an abandoned palace.
"This place was once the palace of a favorite concubine of the late emperor. Because she died in childbirth, the emperor grieved and no more concubines were allowed to live in it. Over time, it became completely abandoned."
Qing Niao gently pushed open the rusty wooden door with an iron lock, and pushed aside the vines wrapped around the wooden door four or five times, causing dry leaves to scatter in all directions.
"The person the girl is looking for will be temporarily imprisoned inside."
Su Wanqing couldn't wait to go in. He walked through the overgrown paths and stumbled all the way before finding the main hall of Leng Palace.
The smell of blood that hit her face made Su Wanqing's heart tremble, and her hand on the wooden door couldn't stop trembling.
Xisu was wearing her favorite goose-yellow clothes, with her dark hair flowing down her shoulders, like a winding waterfall, her head hung low, tied to a wall by the iron chains on the left and right butterfly bones.
Blood dripped down the iron chain and gathered into a small puddle.
Perhaps smelling the familiar fragrance of jasmine, Xisu stiffly twisted his neck, slowly raised his face, and looked out the wooden door.
"Susu—"
Su Wanqing opened the door suddenly and ran straight towards Xisu.
