After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 302: Assassination at midnight, various forces take action
Princess Jiuge has been in Kyoto for half a month, but she has always stayed in the inn under the pretext of recuperating from her injuries and never met outsiders. She did this for the purpose of making a splash in Jiufan Mountain!
Especially in front of that person...
Princess Jiuge knew that tonight's palace banquet was not the highlight, so she didn't show up at all.
She walked up to the Queen Mother and took her pulse, saying, "Your Majesty, your condition is caused by the reverse flow of Qi and blood. Just take a pill and you'll be fine. There's something wrong with the music you just played."
She took out a brown pill from the medicine bottle in her arms and was about to hand it to the Queen Mother, but it was taken by the personal maid beside the Queen Mother: "Here is your servant."
After verifying that there was no problem, the maid handed the pill to the Queen Mother.
After the Queen Mother took the pill, her complexion really improved. Qin Yue, who was standing by, said angrily, "The Prince Regent is so bold that he dared to murder the Queen Mother. I will report this to His Majesty and let Him make the decision for the Queen Mother!"
"Forget it. His Majesty just got a beauty today. How can he care about an old woman like me?"
The Queen Mother spoke in a deep voice. She had just vomited blood. Under the candlelight, her face looked pale and weak. She said weakly, "Today, I accidentally teased Xiao Xuetang and touched the regent's reverse scale. Who knew that Lin Xun would protect the child as if he were his own eye? It seems that he really loves her..."
As she spoke, she seemed to glance at Jiuge unintentionally, and Jiuge's face changed instantly!
The Queen Mother's lips curled up slightly in a subtle smile...
On that day, she brought Jiuge to Jiashou Palace because she accidentally heard something - Princess Jiuge liked Lin Xun. She had seen Lin Xun on the battlefield and fell in love with him at first sight.
At that time, the Queen Mother had the idea of winning over this princess from Southern Xinjiang!
Lin Xun is in a high position and has great power. If he cannot be loyal to Lin Shaoshu, he will sooner or later become a serious threat to her.
More importantly, Lin Xun actually dared to recommend the Xie family to return to Kyoto.
At that time, the Queen Mother came up with a plan in her mind and kept Jiuge by her side to deal with Lin Xun.
The Queen Mother knew better than anyone what crazy things a woman would do when she lost her mind because of love.
Princess Jiuge was born in Southern Xinjiang and had a noble status. More importantly, she was good at using poisonous drugs...
This would be a very useful pawn for the Queen Mother.
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, a trace of resentment flashed across Princess Jiuge's charming eyes, and she said, "The Queen Mother, are you talking about Xiao Xuetang? Tomorrow, I want to see what kind of woman she is, to be able to charm a great hero like the Regent!"
The Queen Mother looked at Jiuge's aggressive look, a secret smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she seemed to sigh slightly.
Princess Jiuge is said to be the youngest daughter of the King of Southern Xinjiang and is very much loved. Xiao Xuetang has provoked such a strong rival. Will he be her match?
"What a pity..."
After the Princess of Nanjiang left, the Queen Mother said with a look of regret, "The betrothal gifts from the palace have been paid, and there shouldn't be any changes to this marriage. But now the Princess of Nanjiang has also set her eyes on the Regent, which really makes it difficult for me."
Qin Yue and Fang Yue, who were standing by, were sisters. She hated Xiao Xuetang for the beating her sister received. She echoed the words, "Xiao Xuetang is just like her aunt, the Imperial Concubine. She is unlucky and doesn't have such a blessing."
The Queen Mother let out a sigh, half laughing, and said, "It seems that tomorrow the Queen will have to prepare for the competition between the three princesses!"
The dim candlelight made the master and servant look like ghosts.
Then Qin Yue seemed to have thought of something and said, "Queen Dowager, do you want to quietly ask someone to find out whether His Majesty has summoned that beauty Ruo to sleep with him tonight?"
Everything went smoothly on the trip to Jiufan Mountain. The only flaw was the dancer that Queen Wang brought.
Who is this person? Will there be any problems if he stays by Emperor Yonghui's side?
There hasn't been a new person in Emperor Yonghui's harem for a long time. This time, a dancer was named a beauty in the inner hall. Moreover, the dancer was the queen's person, so the empress dowager naturally paid more attention to her.
She wanted to plan for that position for Shao Shu, but she had already lost the support of the Xie family. She absolutely could not be in a passive position without any precautions regarding matters in the harem.
"I don't know if Shao Shu can find that thing this time. In fact, I am also very curious about what Xie Wanyue left behind that made my son miss it all these years..."
……
Almost at the same time, Emperor Yonghui summoned the newly-appointed Concubine Ruo to his bedroom tonight, but he did not let her sleep with him. He just listened to her play a few songs.
Lady Ruo was good at dancing but not at music. She only knew a few Jiangnan tunes, one of which was "The Quail Flies".
Through the hazy gauze curtain, Emperor Yonghui seemed to see the shadow of another person in her. The familiar song "Partridge Flying" made Emperor Yonghui seem to have returned to many years ago...
Although Xie Wanyue grew up in Kyoto, she likes Jiangnan things, poetry, songs and dances, as well as Jiangnan music...
'The bamboo branches of the Xiang River, the partridges with colorful wings fly.
Everywhere is Xiangyin, where is the lover going back from?
On an early autumn night, Emperor Yonghui fell into a deep sleep amid the sound of sandalwood rising from the beast-gold censer and the clear, gentle and sad music.
He dreamed of the scene many years ago when he went to Xie's house with his royal brother and saw Xie Wanyue playing the piano in the yard.
It’s this song of “Partridge Flying”!
"Your Majesty..."
The sound of the zither stopped at some point. Seeing that Emperor Yonghui had fallen asleep, Ruoniang stood up and walked to the bookshelf...
She found the switch on the bookshelf in the bedroom very skillfully, and a secret room appeared in front of her.
Here is what she wants!
In order to find this thing, she had spent a long time, and even agreed to Queen Wang to dress up as a dancer. This way, she had a legitimate reason to approach the Jiufan Mountain Palace...
There was a small secret room with a painting hanging on the wall. The painting showed a woman playing the piano.
At a quick glance, the woman's appearance was indeed somewhat similar to Ruo Niang, but she looked away after just one glance.
In addition to the paintings, there was only a bookcase in the secret room...
The bookcase looks inconspicuous, but the bronze lock pattern on the lock is exactly the same as the ring she wears!
Ruoniang was so overjoyed that she was about to touch the bookcase when suddenly a gust of wind blew from behind...
Someone is watching here too!
After Ruo Niang reacted, she pulled out a soft sword from her long sleeves and stabbed the opponent's left shoulder.
The opponent obviously didn't expect that the seemingly weak Ruo Niang could actually practice martial arts, and he was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the shoulder. But he reacted very quickly and hit Ruo Niang's right shoulder with his palm wind...
The two fought each other for dozens of rounds. At this moment, a voice came from outside: "Quick, catch the assassin!"
The two men who were fighting fiercely looked at each other. Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassin dropped his hidden weapon and escaped through the window...
When Qi Yusheng and the commander of the imperial guards, Lu Zheng, arrived with their men, they saw Ruo Niang hiding behind a screen with a pale face, as if she was terrified.
"Sir Shaoqing, two assassins came in to assassinate the emperor, and they...they ran outside."
Qi Yusheng signaled his men to chase them, and then asked Ruoniang, "Did you see their appearance clearly?"
Ruo Niang cried like a pear blossom with tears in her eyes, and shook her head and said, "I was so frightened that I didn't see anything."
Seeing that he could not get any useful clues from Ruo Niang, Qi Yusheng did not ask any more questions, but instead checked the hidden weapons left by the assassin.
Qi Yusheng said: "This hidden weapon doesn't look like it belongs to Dayin, but rather... it looks like it's used by Nanjiang!"
Lu Zheng was observant and actually found a badge next to the window.
He picked it up and looked at it carefully, his face changed instantly, and he said in horror...
"This is a badge from the palace! Is there someone in the court trying to assassinate His Majesty?!"
