After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Sikong Tong thought about it for a while, felt a little worried, and decided to go out in person to talk to Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu had no idea of ​​going to Shenyuan Palace to "serve", and had not even heard the queen mention it, but she did not dare to object. She didn't even dare to say that this was the Queen's idea, but her slightly hesitant look was noticed by Sikong Tong.

"What, you don't want to?"

When asked, Mrs. Liu would of course deny it immediately and admit that she was the queen she begged for first. Sikong Tong pondered for a moment and stopped pursuing the truth. The queen only confessed to Mrs. Liu as soon as the emperor walked out of the Xianyang Palace.

"I didn't discuss this matter with you first, and I thought you would definitely not refuse. You should be able to understand my good intentions. This kid, Rokuro, is filial and kind, and he is actually the most obedient. But after all, he is still young. Besides, I also know that you are worried about letting Rokuro imitate Shiro and take risks on the battlefield, but you have to wait for Rokuro to perform meritorious service. I don’t know what year or month it will be. If Your Majesty really favors a beloved person at this time and appoints a new concubine, you Even if I don't fight for these things, I'm not willing to let you suffer in your position as a talented person.

Let me tell you the truth. Both your Majesty and the Crown Prince will always respect Lord Shenyuandian. I also really want to win her over. In this way, in the inner court, if she and I work together, the three ladies will no longer dare to follow her. You are as arrogant as before. As long as you can win the favor of the palace monarch and the palace monarch personally intercedes for you, your restoration to the concubine position will be just around the corner. "

But although Sikong Tong agreed to this matter, he still needed the approval of the Lord of Shenyuan Palace.

There were three people who rescued Lord Shenyuandian from Luoyang Palace. One was a eunuch, one was Fu's mother, and the other was a guard. The eunuch was killed in order to distract the attention of the enemy soldiers. Fu's mother also died of illness, and the guard is now Although he is still the guard of the Lord of the Palace, he can no longer live in the Shenyuan Palace. Whether he should "take in" Liu and Zheng Lianzi, the Lord of the Shenyuan Palace really can't find anyone with whom he can discuss.

She hesitated for a while, then summoned her newly appointed Shang Gong Ziling. Ziling was actually over twenty-five years old, but she joined the Qianyuan Palace later than Zi Shi. She was the kind of person who didn't have much talent, but A female officer with a gentle nature and very self-awareness, knew that there was no hope of being promoted to the position of female history officer, so she was very satisfied to be transferred to the Shenyuan Hall this time. Being on duty in the Shenyuan Hall was much less stressful than being on duty in the Qianyuan Hall.

Since Zi Ling was willing to come to Shenyuan Hall, she was determined to be loyal to the Lord of Shenyuan Hall. She knew everything and said: "This Liu Cairen was originally a concubine. She committed an offense not long ago and was demoted to the rank of Cai. She has a eldest princess and a sixth prince. She strived to come to the Shenyuan Palace, mostly to offset her merits and restore her status as concubine Shu. And that Zheng Liangren was the chosen daughter who was only selected into the palace this year, but His Majesty and The Queen has made it clear that she will point it out to His Highness the Crown Prince in the future.

Although your Majesty has given some hints, it should be because of the request of Her Majesty the Queen. Liu Cairen is an old friend of Qiandi, and the Queen has always trusted and respected her. I should not have intervened in this matter, but when the Emperor asked, I did. Let me tell you my opinion. Although the emperor's status is noble, he still needs to take into account the wishes of His Majesty and the Queen. If Liu Cairen and Zheng Liangren make mistakes again, the emperor will hand them over to the queen for punishment, and then the queen will have nothing to say. . "

Mr. Xuan Dian automatically ignored Mrs. Liu and only paid attention to Zheng Lianzi: "When you said this, I remembered that that day when the Queen and all the palace family members came to the Qianyuan Hall, the one who had been beside the Queen was not wearing the female official uniform. , her dress is a little different from the other concubines, and she looks a bit sad, could she be Zheng Liangren?"

"The Japanese slave was not present that day, but the palace master mentioned the painful appearance, so that's it."

"Is she also His Majesty's preferred candidate for Crown Princess?"

"How can that be possible?" Zi Ling said with a smile: "Zheng Liang was born in a poor family, so he won the favor of Her Majesty the Queen, and he is of the rank of a concubine."

"I feel a little surprised in my heart. There are many talented and middle-level people in the palace, but it seems that all the princes are born from wives or concubines. Does it mean that only by giving birth to a prince can one be promoted to the concubine position?"

"That's not the case. The ninth concubines are all from aristocratic families, and the talented and middle-level talents are mostly selected into the palace. The reason why they have not given birth to a prince is because His Majesty is not addicted to women. Talented people are not addicted to women. There are not many opportunities for middle-aged people to win favors. There are a few who have more favors, and they either have small children, or... they just haven't passed the test of childbirth."

Mr. Xuan Dian nodded.

She also knew that pregnancy and childbirth were like going through hell, and she didn't know how many people died because of it. Her mother-in-law had told her before that the descendants of the Xuan family had already shown signs of being weak. Withering, special attention was paid to the inheritance of incense, but even though they lived a pampered life at that time, many women still died of dystocia, and the children who were born with gritted teeth and cared for in every possible way could not escape the fate of premature death.

The reproduction of offspring is sometimes really destined.

"Actually, in addition to His Highness, Mrs. He also gave birth to a little prince. Unfortunately, he died before the third baptism ceremony. Mrs. He also suffered from physical damage and has not been able to conceive in the past few years. Thank you again. Madam, she actually has the most favors, but it is a pity that she has never been pregnant. And there is Yu Bi. When she was pregnant, she was extremely careful. She would go to bed as soon as she left the bed, and stay in bed as soon as she left the bed. She did not dare to take a single step. She walked a lot, but still failed to save the fetus in her belly. Before she was three months old, she had an inexplicable miscarriage. Concubine Yu always suspected that she was being harmed, and she made many troubles, but ended up falling out of favor."

"When I look at Concubine Yu, she looks a bit similar to Mr. Zheng Liang."

Similar? Zi Ling went through the appearance of the two people in his mind, and felt that although Yu Bin was too sensitive, and occasionally even acted insanely, her demeanor and demeanor were still much better than Zheng Liangren's, and suddenly realized that the reason why the emperor said this was, The real meaning is probably that Zheng Liangren is not blessed.

She remained silent, knowing that in the eyes of the emperor, he probably didn't like Zheng Liangren, the quasi-prince Ji Ni.

"I listened to your suggestion and let Liu Cairen and Zheng Liangren move in. That day, Her Royal Highness the Queen said in public that I was just like her, a vulgar person, and my status was no more noble than a lady from a famous family. I deliberately insulted her, and also I made it clear to everyone that I was not easy to bully, so that was enough for that day. A few days later, Liu Cairen said that he came to pay me a visit. In and out of his words, he emphasized that I must be obedient to Her Majesty the Queen, otherwise I would be ignorant of etiquette.

This time she took the initiative to bring Mr. Zheng to please me. I wanted to see what kind of etiquette they believed in. "

Liu and Zheng Lianzi packed their bags and moved into Shenyuan Palace. Yingshu soon found out about this. His Majesty the Emperor told her personally. His Majesty the Emperor not only told her, but also asked her to go to Shenyuan Palace when she had time. In order to prevent the Liu family from doing business again, Yingshu did not mind that the errands assigned by His Majesty were too many. Seeing that Yingdan was worried about this, she comforted the maid in turn: "I am a capable person who works hard."

Who would have thought that as soon as he said these big words, he would be slapped in the face by the second prince - on this very day, the second prince came to the Qianyuan Hall to face the saint in great excitement. His Majesty summoned the prince, the fifth prince, and Ying Shu to the scene. In front of many people, the second prince proudly announced that he had solved the case.

The emperor came to his senses, rubbed the back of his head and asked, "What case did you solve?"

However, Yingshu thought of a possibility and shook Sikong Beichen. She found that Sikong Beichen had also thought of that possibility and his expression was extremely solemn.

"The murder case of the evil ghost has been solved!"

Everyone listened attentively to the second prince's cadence as he explained the process of solving the case.

"Just ten days ago, Jian Kangcheng reported a murder case. The murder occurred in Nanzeli. There is a painted bridge in Nanzeli. Three and a half miles away from the painted bridge, there is a lake. The lake is named Shishi in the official office. Pond, but the people commonly call it Zhinv Pond, where the body of the deceased was floating. According to the investigation, the deceased was a woman, whose real surname was Fei, and her husband’s surname was Zhao. This Zhao Fei family lived in Nanzeli and had been missing for more than 20 days. , on the day she disappeared, her husband reported it to the government. Ten days ago, Zhao Fei’s body was found in Zhinv Pond, and her eyes and tongue were beheaded as well!

One thing is exactly the same as what the Fifth Brother and the Queen's Supervisor inferred. Zhao Fei had a sharp tongue. Although she did not have any deep grudges with anyone, she often argued with her neighbors over trivial matters. She was an unreasonable person. , a shrew whose tongue is not forgiving.

But Fifth Brother, you believe that the murderer is a eunuch in the palace, and the murderer must be on duty and traveling in the inner court. This presumption is obviously inconsistent with the facts. Even if the eunuch on duty in the inner court has the opportunity to leave the palace, After my investigation, during the period when Zhao Fei disappeared and was confirmed to have been killed, no eunuch stayed overnight outside the palace, and it was impossible for eunuchs to have residences outside the palace. The registered eunuchs did not even have their families living there. In Nanzeli, how did the eunuch know that Zhao Fei had a sharp tongue? Therefore, the murderer could never be a eunuch, he must be a palace guard!

The palace guards only live in Taicheng when they are on duty, but their residence is outside the palace. Although they have not settled in Nanze, the palace guards have rotation days off, so they have the opportunity to find targets in the outer city and kill them. Fifth brothers, you Ah, because of the wrong inference first, the case was delayed. "

The second prince probably felt that he was quite graceful. He mainly criticized Nanci and mentioned Yingshu in passing. For this reason, he even took a special look at Yingshu and saw that the little girl was known for her eloquence. The official lowered his eyelids at this time and didn't even say a word, becoming more and more confident.

Nanci also made up his mind to look at Yingshu. From her slightly trembling eyelashes, he could tell that she was having a hard time holding back her laughter. He actually didn't realize how funny this was, but felt a little ashamed of himself - thinking Back then, how ridiculous I must have been, knowing that the second emperor brother still had a chance to succeed in the fight for the throne, but had no fighting spirit at all. Could he still be considered a descendant of the Sikong clan? With the brains of the Second Emperor Brother, if he really wants to be the king of a country, Da Yu's Guo Zuo will be really hard to save.

But now seeing Yingshu's attitude, the depression in Nanci's heart was completely blown away by the gentle fluttering of her eyelashes.

"Second brother, let me listen, how come you haven't even solved an unsolved case that happened in Nan Zeli outside the palace, let alone the murder case of an evil ghost inside the palace."

Sikong Tong also raised his hands to rest his forehead, feeling deeply that he was ashamed of his ancestors. Although he did not think about handing over the throne to his second son, he also did not want to teach his son to be a waste. His son was also Not many, only seven in total. Apart from these seven biological sons, there is not even one nephew left. He has been hoping that although not all of his sons will become great talents, they can at least share some of the burdens for the prince. Now he He is just a lonely man without any brothers to help him. It is very understandable how much he has to worry about to keep half of his country.

The second prince, however, was completely unaware that he was being disliked for his efforts. He raised his chest and raised his head and said loudly: "Isn't it too late for me to check the palace guards who are taking turns during this period? As long as I check them one by one, the two murder cases will be solved together. Got it!"

Sikong Tong felt that the Tianling point was aching again, so he knocked on the table and said, "In this case, you can start investigating."

There is not even a suspect, but you dare to say that the case has been solved? ! Sikong Tong had to reconsider whether his second son was suitable to continue to practice in such an important ministry as Jiankang Order.
