Bastards

In the following time, Yang Xuan was very busy, very busy.

He didn't even have time to climb Cui Mata's window in the middle of the night, so he became a dog.

He stared intently at Concubine Tian and Concubine Tian's people.

Now that it is confirmed that the matter of Yan Sheng was done by this woman, watch closely, watch carefully, sooner or later, he will find a breakthrough.

Sure enough, not long after, he found out that there was something wrong with a court lady.

This palace lady is in her twenties, she is considered an old man, she has a very stable personality, she speaks and does things very carefully, and she can't find a single mistake, and she can't see the slightest abnormality in the daytime.The difference is that it is night.

This maid's status in Concubine Tian's palace is not low, and she lives in a clean wing room, shared with another court lady.A few days ago, another lady-in-waiting was released when she reached her age, and no one else was admitted for a while, so only this lady-in-waiting lived in this room.

Every night, this court lady would have nightmares and talk in her sleep, 'I didn't mean it', 'The maidservant swore to be loyal to the death', 'The emperor spared the maidservant, it wasn't the maidservant's idea, the maidservant would never dare', what They all said, and they spoke clearly, and they could put on a big show when they fell asleep there.

The content of these sleep talks is very subtle. As soon as Yang Xuan noticed it, he immediately thought of an idea. When the palace maid's dream was the most frightening, as if she was kowtowing and begging for mercy, she made a noise to wake her up, and asked the dark guards to put on white robes and transport them to the palace. Light work, pretending to be a ghost to scare her.

The maid's heart was beating so fast, she was so frightened to death, when she saw the ghost floating towards her demanding her life, she really thought something had happened to Emperor Taikang, she kowtowed, crying, shaking and begging for mercy.

With her mental state, it doesn't take much effort to pretend to be a ghost guard. With a little guidance, the maid will finish explaining the matter.

That wooden doll was made by her.

Her grandfather was a carpenter, before entering the palace, she had learned a little bit of fur, this time Concubine Tian Gui was called to use her in the game, so she knew the inside things best.Where did the wood come from, where did the material for the doll's top come from, who made it, whose hands it passed through, and what happened to the embroidery needles...all the same, everything is said.

After listening, the dark guard clicked on her sleeping point and put her back on the bed. When she woke up the next day, the maid thought it was just a dream, and she didn't doubt it.

But Yang Xuan, who knew all the information, investigated and compared all these details to get more evidence... When he felt that it was almost done, he turned back, grabbed the palace maid and took her away in the middle of the night, and hid it...

At the same time, Concubine Tian Gui is performing various bitter scenes.

She was very weak, holding the hands of the kings of Yuejun and Changjun, showing the filial piety of mother and son, and making brothers and brothers respectful. The two sons made their eyes moist several times a day, and they burst into tears several times.

She pulled Emperor Taikang to show the deep love between husband and wife, with medicine and bandages on her chest, and opened the window, posing the most beautiful poses and expressions, watching the stars and the moon with Emperor Taikang, chatting from poetry and songs to philosophy of life .

What a spring feast, a glass of green wine and singing again.I would like to pay respects to Chen three wishes again: first, I wish my husband a thousand years; second, I wish my concubine a long life;

The concubine loves the emperor so much, for the sake of the emperor, let alone die, she will not hesitate to be smashed to pieces!She is not afraid of being ugly, old, or losing her life. She is only afraid that one day, she will not be able to see the face of her favorite emperor.

So the emperor promises his concubine to take good care of himself, you know?Even if the concubine is dead, gone, and thrown into limbo, as long as he knows that the emperor is doing well, the concubine will be satisfied...

Emperor Taikang was naturally moved.

He might not like this sticky atmosphere, but as a man, or an emperor, how could he not be machismo?A good-looking, intelligent and lovely woman, who would die or live for him, from a young girl to a mature woman, and then, to the next life, she is so in love with him, her heart and eyes are all about him, how can he not be proud? ,dislike?

He hugged Concubine Tian Gui and called Jiaojiao, patted her on the back, and even condescended to pour water for her. He didn't want to play with a woman who was as tender as a flower in the harem, so he stayed with Concubine Tian Gui every day.

Concubine Tian Gui was in pain every day when changing her medicine, and she cursed Emperor Taikang ten thousand times in her heart. After changing her medicine, the pain eased, and seeing Emperor Taikang's attentive appearance, she smiled even more coquettishly.

This bitter trick still works!

Just when Concubine Tian Gui was satisfied with the layout effect and was about to proceed to the next step, an accident happened suddenly.

Taking advantage of Emperor Taikang's departure, Nanny Gui came to report that the maid who made the wooden doll was missing.

Concubine Tian immediately raised her eyebrows: "What's going on!"

Nanny Gui knelt on the ground, with her head pressed against the cold floor tiles, not daring to speak loudly, "I don't know what's going on, this old servant was working normally yesterday, but he disappeared this morning... This old servant has searched everywhere. , can’t be found, can’t find a living person, can’t find a dead body.”

"Could it be laziness, where did you go to play?"

"Going back to your mother, it should be impossible. Not to mention the strict rules in the palace, this maid has always been sensible and cautious, and never ran around with meddling things. She only talked about her bed—her bed was messy, the quilt was not folded, and the shirt and skirt she took off were still intact. On the stool...she should have been taken away in a hurry, just before dawn."

Nanny Gui was very organized and explained all the details one by one: "Madam, what should we do? Shall we report to the police?"

Concubine Tian Gui narrowed her beautiful eyes, and hummed in a very low voice, her expression full of sarcasm.

"...that's a really good job!"

Nanny Gui was startled, and quickly glanced towards the East Palace: "Your Majesty means—"

"Who else is there besides the prince!" Concubine Tian slammed her tea bowl angrily, "He was ordered to investigate the matter of Yan Sheng. He must have put in a lot of effort these days. My people know that I will definitely not betray easily. It must be the prince. I found some clues, smelled it, and arrested the court lady, intending to dig out more... Bengong underestimated him!"

She thought it was enough time.

When her trickery reached its peak, she came to settle this matter. Who knew that the prince moved too fast and grabbed the source all at once.

She has always acted meticulously, how did the prince find the clues?

Before she could come up with the answer to this question, Concubine Tian quickly shook her head, the incident had already happened, and it was useless to pursue the past, so it was better to think of a way to deal with it.

It will be five days after the incident, even if the prince got some clues, he still has not verified the facts, and there is not enough evidence.

She is very clear about how deep the water is on her side, and it is impossible for the crown prince to fully understand her details. It is impossible for the crown prince to have conclusive evidence for her concubine Tian Gui.

But without evidence, evidence can be fabricated.

Three points of facts, plus seven points of forged evidence, can form a big picture. If the prince does this, even if she doesn't really lose her power and subdue the law, it will hurt her vitality, it is true.

Creation of evidence also takes time.

Before the prince is finished, she must act quickly to smooth over this matter and make the prince stillborn!

Concubine Tian's beautiful eyes were slightly closed, thoughts flickered quickly, after a long time, she made a decision, and told Nanny Gui: "Go and call Nanny Liu."

It has to be said that after several fights, Cui Yu's thoughts on Concubine Tian Gui were extremely precise.

Just as he thought, Concubine Tian Gui really wanted to beat him up.She wanted to take advantage of this bitter plan to appease her son to embrace the sacred heart, and at the same time, pour this terrible and dirty water on the prince!

It's just that she didn't expect that the prince was so fast and even captured a key person.

If someone has something in his hand, if she tears her face, she can be bullied. The prince will definitely drag her into the water to protect himself. Everyone will die, and no one will think about it.If she just pushes a scapegoat, let Emperor Taikang admit it first, the crown prince has insufficient evidence, so he has no choice but to smash his teeth and swallow blood, and give up this mess...

The method is good, and there are no future problems, but just like this, one more loyalist will have to die.

It is not easy to cultivate a dead man, and it is even more difficult to raise a dead man from the heart of the palace. She spent a lot of effort and managed to raise a few, but now it is such a waste.

Concubine Tian Gui clenched her teeth, eyes full of unwillingness.

……

Everything was ready, looking at the sky, it was almost time for Emperor Taikang to come, Concubine Tian Guifei closed her eyes and ordered: "Drink the essence."

When Nanny Gui heard Xiang Xiang's name, she was stunned: "Your Majesty, this is—"

Concubine Tian Gui glanced at her, her eyes were dark, and she couldn't see the bright light: "What, it's gone?"

"Yes yes yes-"

"Go get it if you have it, and order it for Bengong."

But after lighting this incense, the emperor will definitely have intercourse after smelling it... Nanny Gui carefully reminded: "My lady's body..."

Concubine Tian Gui gently flicked the corner of her clothes: "It's not in the way."

There will definitely be an impact, but how can you be afraid of pain when doing big things?

If the pain can be exchanged for the final victory, she would rather suffer the pain to the death!

Emperor Taikang will arrive soon.

Then he felt that today's imperial concubine was extraordinarily charming, which made him a little bit uncontrollable.

The imperial concubine is still the same as before, her heart is always on him, as long as he is good, she can ignore herself.Sensing his desire, the noble concubine's eyes sparkled and she took off her clothes... Serving him twice in his favorite way.

Taikangdi feels very cool, very cool!

Sure enough, the imperial concubine is the one who let go, and knows him best, and only with the imperial concubine, he is the happiest, and there is no discomfort at all, because the imperial concubine is the most tolerant of him, and everything about their bed is based on his comfort, and he even You can explode a little interest, focus, and a little more serious, it doesn't matter if you see blood!

When he was happy, Concubine Tian Gui felt uncomfortable.

I was already old, and my physical strength was not comparable to when I was young. My knees, waist, and legs were not working well. I was bleeding from below, and the wound on my shoulder was cracked, and blood was also oozing out. I was even bitten by Emperor Taikang on my chest...

It hurts, it really hurts, it hurts so badly, she couldn't hold it back, bit off Taikang Emperor's thing, and see how he will fuck with women in the future!

But no, her rationality reminded her that, as always, the character design likes this, likes Taikangdi treating her like this, so she can't mess around...

The pain is really painful, and the effect is also excellent.

After the incident, Emperor Taikang came back to his senses with the relief after venting, and felt a little ashamed when he saw Concubine Tian Gui.

"My... hands are heavy."

Concubine Tian Gui held his hand, and although her face was pale, she still smiled coquettishly: "My concubine likes the emperor like this... Your majesty, you are so brave."

Any man would like this.

But no matter what happened to Emperor Taikang, he would not be so stupid that he couldn't even tell whether Concubine Tian Gui was uncomfortable or not.

This is very uncomfortable, but he is not willing to blame himself, so he takes the fault on himself.

Sure enough, Tian Guifei's next sentence was: "It's the concubine who is greedy for pleasure, and doesn't want to give up the emperor to others. I want the emperor to love the concubine, pamper the concubine, and let the concubine take whatever he wants... The emperor should save some face for the concubine. If you see it, don't tell me."

Emperor Taikang was very satisfied, the imperial concubine was indeed a noble concubine, always so gentle.

well.

Emperor Taikang stroked Tian Guifei's hair, and teased her words: "What does my concubine want? What do you want? Why don't you tell me."

"Hmm..." Concubine Tian Gui's beautiful eyes were foggy, she seemed to be unclear, she thought for a long time, but she couldn't figure out what she wanted.

The more she couldn't figure it out, the more Emperor Taikang was willing to tease her: "Since my concubine has asked for something, I have to say something today, otherwise I will accuse you of deceiving the emperor."

"That concubine just wants to eat—"

Emperor Taikang tapped Concubine Tian's lips: "It's not cold to be opportunistic, things like food, drink and clothing don't count."

Concubine Tian Gui was in a hurry, she couldn't figure it out for a long time, Emperor Taikang even gave her a countdown, as if she was rushing to talk, or as if she had nothing to say and just picked up something on her heart, she blurted out: "The matter of Yan Sheng, my minister! I know who did it!"

Emperor Taikang immediately grimaced, put on his clothes, and sat up: "Tell me, you know?"

Concubine Tian Gui then had a regretful expression of 'caused a catastrophe', she casually pulled out a piece of clothing, put it on indiscriminately, got out of bed and knelt down in front of Emperor Taikang.

After talking and kneeling, Concubine Tian Guifei's face was broken and tragic: "Yes, this concubine knows who did what happened to Yan Sheng, and I only found out this afternoon."

She lowered her eyes and stared at her fingers, her face pale and uneasy: "I know that the emperor has entrusted this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I shouldn't have cared about it, and I shouldn't have said it. It seems to be framing someone, anyway. Facts will always prove that the concubine is innocent, but...but..."

She was stuck, and looked at Emperor Taikang pitifully.

Emperor Taikang understood it, it was because he teased her so hard just now that she couldn't hold back.

"Tell me what's going on."

Concubine Tian still found a reason, explaining that she was not forced by Emperor Taikang: "The concubine is thinking, since the concubine knows about such an important matter, she should not hide it from the emperor, even if the emperor misunderstands it, the concubine will not regret it. "

"This matter was done by an old lady surnamed Liu in the palace..."

Tian Guifei focused on who Liu Mama was.

This old nanny entered the palace as a palace maid when Yuwen's family sat on the dragon chair in the previous dynasty.Yuwen has a deep kindness to her, and she has always kept it in her heart, but she can't repay it.After so many years, she is getting older and more paranoid, and seeing that she can't live for a few years, she has done something wrong...

Madam Liu found Yan Sheng's cloth, she found someone to carve the wooden doll, and the emperor's birth date, as an old man of Yuwen Dynasty, she also knew it...

Concubine Tian Gui talked about these comings and goings, and determined the matter to be the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Nanny Liu was loyal to Yuwenchao, and it was normal to hate the Yang family who took over Yuwen's family. Now that she is old, her mind is getting more and more confused, and it is normal to do stupid things.

What was the public opinion of Yu Wenchao back then?The loud voices, not to mention those who have received favors in person, and the people who have not directly received favors, are also very respectful and yearning for Yuwen's family.After reading it, Emperor Taikang will rely on Yang Xuan, the prince who has half of the blood of the Yuwen family to protect Jiangshan, and he will know a thing or two...

"But my concubine can guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with the prince!" Concubine Tian Gui looked deeply at Emperor Taikang, "This concubine is in charge of the harem affairs and is very familiar with various situations. It is inevitable that the concubine will be more concerned about this person, she has never had any contact with the crown prince!"

After all, it was Concubine Tian Gui, with a very vicious heart, even if she knew she couldn't drag the prince into the water, and brought some private goods with her, she still needed some eye drops.

Emperor Taikang looked at Concubine Tian Gui's eyes trying to argue for the prince, and really couldn't help but like it.

He just likes the appearance of the noble concubine, his heart is too soft, and he will not take actions to frame people who are restricted by their positions and cannot be friends.

For the prince, he trusted him.

It's just that Chuchu has returned to court, even if he has some popular reputation, his strength is still far behind, and his foundation has not been laid, how could he be cursed to kill him?If he is dead, the crown prince will be powerless and unable to rise to the throne.

Moreover, the prince is filial and has a straight temper, so he won't do such shady things.

The old man in the previous dynasty made his own claims, and everything made sense.

His Da'an, his palace, are all people who love him and wish him well, and only those who care about the previous dynasty will kill him with a vicious curse...

"Call the nanny over here."

Emperor Taikang issued an order, and Concubine Tian Gui hurriedly waited on him to dress and tidy up, and asked her servants to send Madam Liu over.

Nanny Liu is an old nanny who is over fifty years old. Her clothes are neat and her hair is not messy.

But her eyes are the opposite of her temperament.

It was a pair of extremely cloudy eyes written with stubbornness and contradictions, looking at Emperor Taikang with deep anger.

Xu noticed something, she put on airs and didn't even kneel.

Concubine Tian Gui was angry, and angrily reprimanded: "Presumptuous!"

Emperor Taikang held her hand: "Jiaojiao Moqi." Turning his head, he could still ask the nanny calmly, "Why did you curse to kill me?"

Nanny Liu raised her head high and looked at Emperor Taikang through her nostrils: "Because you deserve to die!"

As if anticipating the time of death, this nanny was about to go crazy before she died, and scolded Emperor Taikang: "You have no talent or virtuousness, how can you have the confidence to sit in this country? If you don't have a prince of the Yuwen family blood, sit here How could it be you who is a great treasure! You have been in office for more than ten years. Apart from enjoying yourself and allowing others to flatter you and praise you, have you done anything serious and accomplished? Not to mention Emperor Yuwen, your father’s face is covered by you Throw it all away! What they can do, you just think about it, no matter how hard you try, you can't do it!"

"A useless person like you, how can you have the face to live in this world? You are shameless and dare not die, so I will help you and give you a ride!"

"So what if it's me? I just stole the noble concubine's stuff, I just want to curse you to death, I just want to separate your husband, wife, father and son! Let you be that lonely family, you will die!"

Emperor Taikang's face was gloomy: "Are you the prince's man?"

"Prince? What is a prince!" Liu Mama's eyes were crazy, with contempt on her face, "the blood of your Yang family is flowing, it has long been unclean! This world should not belong to your Yang family, nor should it be him. Yes! Everyone surnamed Yang deserves to die!"

After the words were settled, the room fell silent.

Nanny Liu's eyes trembled, as if she had realized something, she changed her words again: "Of course, no matter how damned Yang is, the prince is still a little worse, less guilty than you... That's right, I am the prince's man! I just want to Kill you to make way for the prince!"

At first glance, it looked like climbing and biting, Emperor Taikang didn't believe it at all.

This nanny is a lunatic.

"Someone, take her down, Ling Chi."

Emperor Taikang was very angry, but because he was in his hands and allowed him to do anything, the more angry he was, the easier he spoke.Because of this, the other party will be even more angry and unwilling...

Gathering her thoughts, looking back, Tian Guifei shrank behind him with a pale face, carefully tugging at the corner of his sleeve, not daring to move, as if she was frightened.

When there is no trouble, Emperor Taikang is willing to show his majestic masculinity. Concubine Tian Gui's timid and soft appearance undoubtedly pleases him again. He hugs her in his arms and pats and pats: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, she is very fierce, but I have already killed her..."

"Hmm... Your majesty is so heroic..." Concubine Tian Gui closed her eyes and leaned against Emperor Taikang's chest, as if leaning against the whole world.

Only she knew in her heart that if she didn't open her eyes, she was afraid that seeing Taikang Emperor's expression would make her feel sick and want to vomit.

"This matter... is not a good thing after all. It was found out from the concubine. Can the emperor give the concubine a favor and stop the prince from continuing to investigate? I always feel... embarrassing..."

Emperor Taikang understood that what Concubine Tian Gui really wanted was this.

Still thinking about him.

The matter of Yan Sheng, what is it worth publicizing?Now that the culprit is on the verge of falling, there is indeed no need to pursue it. It may not be a good thing if you start killing people and make the city full of storms...

"it is good."

Emperor Taikang agreed.

He not only complied, but also immediately summoned Eunuch Gao in and gave the crown prince an oral order.

He kissed Concubine Tian Gui: "Don't worry now, you annoying little fairy."

Tian Guifei coquettishly said, "Your Majesty—"

Emperor Taikang pulled up the curtain and continued with Concubine Tian.

While refreshing, he didn't forget the business.

The former palace man is a problem.Although he has been on the throne for a long time and his throne is stable, he does not rule out those who have different ideas.The imperial concubine's reminder came at the right time.

The prince is indeed innocent this time, but what about next time?At some point, the group of palace people saw that the prince was good, so they surrounded him...

No, it's time to check it out.

……

Yang Xuan was very obedient, Taikang Emperor said that he would not allow the investigation, so he stopped the investigation and put aside all the matters at hand.After waiting for a few days, Concubine Tian Guifei had almost recovered from her injury, and something new happened in court. Emperor Taikang's energy was shifted, and when his mood gradually calmed down, he presented the court lady, together with many evidences.

He wrote in a very detailed note, saying that when he found these things at the beginning, he didn't feel right. Although things have settled down now and these things should not be dragged anymore, he always felt that his father had to have a look at them.

If you listen to both, you will be clear, if you only believe in one side, you will be dark.A little more information can never be wrong.

As soon as the father called to stop that day, he stopped. These things were all found at the time, but there were no results.This matter has been in my heart for too long, and now I leave it to my father, and it is finally easy...

Emperor Taikang pondered for a long time after watching it alone.

Once again, he felt that the prince was good, although he had a straight temper, and sometimes he might not welcome him, but his heart was really pure.

He doesn't like trouble, and most of the time, as long as the matter is not too big, he doesn't want to pursue it.In the end...is someone else solving his troubles for him, or is he using his character to play tricks, causing troubles and then 'helping him' solve them?

Or, he thought he was in control of the overall situation, but in fact someone else controlled the overall situation through his hands?

For the first time, Emperor Taikang felt his authority was threatened.

For the first time, Emperor Taikang became suspicious of Pillow, and began to pay attention in another way.

The matter has passed for a long time, and the facts are no longer important to him. The important thing is, who are the people around him who are loyal and who are traitors?

……

Cui Mata's serial plan, and the following picture.

The two Yuechang brothers fought each other, and their titles were cut. The impression of Emperor Taikang and his courtiers would be lowered, especially when the prince of Yuejun and the crown prince did not come back, he was a sure candidate for the crown prince. This performance is really disappointing.

As soon as the courtiers were disappointed, it would be dangerous for the King of Yue to form a team at the beginning, and I don't know how many people will change their ways.

Once the formation shakes, the people at the top of the team will be anxious, such as the iron king of Yuejun Zhuang Li.

Now he is biting Jia Yixiu, and in this situation, he will only bite Jia Yixiu to death.

As for the emperor's pet, he couldn't help the king of Yuejun, but if he could kill Jia Yixiu, wouldn't it prove that he was still strong and give his team a shot in the arm?

The more aggressive he is, the sadder Jia Yixiu will be.

No matter what the cards are, on the bright side, Jia Yixiu's official position, qualifications, and connections are worse than Zhuang Li's. It will take a lot of effort to win.

What Yang Xuan has to do is to look at the situation on both sides, and if Zhuang suffers a loss, he can find something to help.

Jia Yixiu suffered a loss, couldn't turn himself over, and when he was desperate, he would want to use the cards in his hand.Regardless of whether he went to find the Turkic backer, or came back to seek Cui Yu's threats, and exchanged the years for benefits...

As long as he moves, Yang Xuan and Cui Yu will gain something.

……

During this time, Yang Xuan was as busy as a dog, and Cui Yu was not idle either.

Because she came back that day from the Buddha ceremony, Abu Keer ran over to him and announced loudly: She found her Ah San!Just in Luoyang, I even went to the Buddhist ceremony!

This is business.

Since Cui Yu promised to help, he didn't think about shirking it. If the person is really in Luoyang, it will be easy to handle!

He straightened his expression and asked Abu Keer for various details in order to cast a net.

As a result, the more you ask, the more familiar you feel.

This Ah San, he probably knew him... so who?
