Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]

At first, I thought it was Sun Fuji who hated being splashed with water last time, and used her to make trouble for Shi Niang, but it turned out that another disaster fell from the sky!

The crown prince of this dynasty was registered in October last year, but the princess has not yet been registered. The emperor issued a decree early this year to choose a concubine for the prince.The maids of the Ming Dynasty must be born from good families who are not doctors, witches, merchants, or craftsmen. After a series of screenings, 300 people are set aside for a trial in the palace for a month, and the most outstanding [-] are selected as concubines. Let it go home, or stay in the palace as a maid.The process of choosing a concubine for the prince is similar, but on a smaller scale.

Lianxiang accompanied her daughter Zhao Liner to the capital to participate in the election, but Zhao Liner passed away as soon as she arrived in the capital because of unacceptable water and soil.The day of the draft is approaching, so it stands to reason that Lianxiang and others should report to the imperial court, and after the imperial court approves, they will erase Zhao Liner's name and transfer back to their hometown, but Zhao Qi, the older brother who escorted Zhao Liner here, is not reconciled.

Zhao Lin'er's father was just a ninth-rank master, and he wanted to go up, but he never had a chance, but the inner eunuchs in the palace had selected beautiful women from all over the place, and Zhao Lin'er passed, which made Zhao's father's ambition rise.Zhao Lin'er herself also had the ambition to be a green cloud, but her fate was so bad that she was still crying when she was dying, and she had failed her father and brother's expectations.Zhao Qi was naturally sad when his sister was gone, and thought about writing letters to his father first, but in the end he saw a woman who looked very similar to his sister on the street.

Zhao Qi didn't act rashly, first secretly checked the details of Ping'an, and felt that he could handle it well, so he took him away.

Knowing the reason of the matter, Ping An couldn't help laughing: "There are such naive people in the world! How can there be two people who are exactly the same in the world? How strict is the court's selection process? No matter how similar I am to your lady, I am different. The internal inspectors who went to the screening must have made records, and they must have revealed their secrets after checking..."

Lianxiang cut off her words: "Young Master has already considered this point, so you don't need to worry about Miss. Tell the truth to Miss. When I first saw Miss, I was really shocked. If it wasn't for Zhang Mama being an old man in the family, I remember that when my wife gave birth In this situation, I’m afraid that my miss has a twin sister. You are similar to my miss in height, short, fat, and thin, and you don’t have any special marks on your body, but there are few rules, but your official language is good.”

There must have been a mistake, Zhao Qi has ordered that from now on everyone will address Ping An as Miss, and no other titles are allowed.

These are all born at home or sold dead contracts. Zhao Qi forgives them for not daring to talk nonsense, but just in case, he has prepared a perfect plan.You can't bring people with you in the draft. If you are elected safely, these people will go back to their hometowns with him.

Pingan sneered: "Your lady speaks Wu Nong's soft words..."

Lian Xiang snorted softly, but instead laughed at her: "Since the young lady passed the preliminary screening, the master hired a teacher for the young lady. Apart from teaching various etiquette, he also taught Mandarin. This is what all beautiful girls must learn!"

Ping An is dying: "I don't know any rules, and I will definitely reveal my truth."

"Young Master said, there are still ten days before entering the palace. In these ten days, you will follow me to learn the rules. My young lady is very smart, and she learns the rules and etiquette quickly and well. I only learned five or six points along the way." Lian Xiang mentioned this. Thinking of the passing away Zhao Lin'er, she couldn't help feeling depressed, and seeing Ping'an's appearance similar to her own lady, she softened her voice: "I advise you not to struggle needlessly, and it is better to listen to the son. The son said that if you lose the election, or deliberately Show your feet, then, then you will die. Not only you will die, but Du Shiniang will also die."

Ping An suddenly trembled with anger.

The son of a little master is actually so rampant, in order to gain power, he will do anything and everything, and treat human life like nothing!Unfortunately, she is not even as good as a commoner. She has no relatives, no reason, no wealth and power, and she has ten mothers' weaknesses, so she can only be manipulated by the other party.But where is the palace?How could it be so easy for people to get in?Once inside the besieged city, hundreds of eyes will be watching her every move, even the deity can pick out mistakes, not to mention she is a counterfeit.

She must not enter the palace!

She is not Zhao Qi who is fascinated by power, and she is not as naive as Lianxiang. Even if she is very talented and learned the rules within ten days, as soon as others come into contact with her, they will immediately notice that she is wrong.She didn't know anything about Zhao Liner's past, she didn't know the local customs of Zhao's family, she didn't even understand Zhao Liner's poems, embroidery work, and daily hobbies. Reborn as another person?

Zhao Qi is really whimsical!

Ping An stopped talking, seemed to compromise, and followed Zhao Qi and Lian Xiang's wishes, imitating Zhao Lin'er's words and deeds and various rules and etiquette every day.Lianxiang was serious, and explained Zhao Liner's preferences and temperament, Zhao's family population, etc. one by one. Ping'an seemed to be listening seriously, but in fact she was always planning to escape.

Right now this residence is a small independent courtyard, her room is in the middle, let alone someone guarding outside, even Lian Xiang follows her all the time.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time to enter the palace.

Pingan was anxious and her face was not good-looking. Lianxiang thought she was nervous, and comforted her while dressing her, but Lianxiang's own hands were shaking.Lian Xiang was also afraid, even Zhao Qi, who had always seemed very confident, was also afraid, but he was more fortunate, always thinking about thousands of beautiful women, how could the palace remember so clearly?Maybe it's over?Maybe it was chosen?Maybe he won the favor of His Royal Highness?Under the stimulation of one fantasy after another, the fear in Zhao Qi's heart was compressed to the utmost.

Finally it was time to set off.

It was just dawn, and Xiu Nu needed to go to the gate of the palace to verify her identity, line up to enter the palace, and then grouped into primary elections.The primaries will eliminate half of them.The second day re-selected, looked more carefully, and eliminated half of them.Re-election on the third day is naturally more detailed, and it also involves the private part.In this way, only 30 people will be selected, and they will stay in the palace for a month to investigate all aspects of their behavior. .

Seeing the carriage go halfway, it is getting closer and closer to the palace gate, but Lianxiang is about to enter the palace due to delay, but Lianxiang is guarding at the carriage door, and Zhao Qi and others personally escort her outside. Once she steps into the palace gate, even if she was To be persecuted is to become an accomplice.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, let alone in the palace. She doesn't want to challenge the strict laws and regulations of the imperial power, let alone lose her life in a muddle.

Not knowing where to go, the carriage stopped suddenly.

I only heard someone talking outside: "Hey, the front is blocked."

Beautiful girls from all over the country gather in the capital, and they are all in the primary election for the palace today. If there are too many carriages, it will be easy to block the road.Unexpectedly, two carriages bumped into each other, they didn't deal with it for some reason, and refused to give in. The horses of the two families all neighed at each other, and there were some persuading and some cursing, and there was a mess.

Ping An's eyes lit up, this is a good time!

Ping An suddenly shot and pushed Lianxiang who was looking out, Lianxiang was unprepared, and fell out of the car door with a scream.Ping An jumped out of the car and ran away at the fastest speed in his life.

"Stop! Stop her! Stop her!" Zhao Qi shouted anxiously.

Zhao Qi was riding a horse, so it would be easy to catch up with Ping An, but there were carriages in front and behind, so he was not allowed to ride the horse forward, he could only follow the carriage, but he was not hindered when he ran.Zhao Qi shouted, but the figure of Ping An had disappeared behind the chariots and horses.

Zhao Qi jumped off the horse, waved his arms and told the coachman Zhang Ma and others to chase after him.

The chariots and horses of other beautiful girls watched this scene, no doubt they saw a big show, and some beautiful girls escaped!This is a major event that has never happened in this dynasty!Not to mention the amazed comments from the coachman and nurses, even the ladies sitting in the car forgot to be nervous, while guessing whose daughter would do such a rebellious thing regardless of the life and death of their family members, they also clicked their tongues in amazement Female guts.

Ping'an is not familiar with everything in the capital, and he is in a panic and loses his way.

Faintly hearing a chasing sound from behind, she ran with all her strength again, and just passed the corner of the street, she just bumped into a person head-on.She barely stabilized her figure, but the other party fell backwards.Taking a closer look, the other party is a young man, dressed in fine clothes and jade ornaments, lying there moaning softly, looking in pain.

She is fine as a little girl, but she will be hurt if a big man bumps into her?

Ping An couldn't help but think of "Pengcier".

Followed by pursuers, Ping An was at the critical moment of escaping for his life, so he didn't dare to delay, so he ruthlessly ignored the man and ran away.Unexpectedly, a hand came out quickly and tightly grasped the corner of her skirt.

"Help, save me." The voice did not seem to be pretending, it was indeed very painful.

"What's the matter with you?" Ping An walked and couldn't get away, and didn't dare to stay where he was, especially when he accidentally caught a glimpse of a small pool of bright red blood oozing from the ground pressed by the man, his scalp felt numb.

There was a trouble behind her, and who would have bumped into another big trouble!

Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, Ping An lifted the man up and quickly slid into the alley.The man seemed to have lost a lot of blood, he was groggy and staggered, with most of his body leaning on Ping An's body, and Ping An could barely walk.Ping An has always been civilized, but at this moment, he was sweating anxiously, and couldn't help but swear in his heart.

What is misfortune never comes singly, this is it!

"How do I get to Changfu Street?" Ping An had nowhere to go, and suddenly remembered the person who had saved him that night, so he asked the man for directions.

The man squinted his eyes to identify the direction, and said intermittently: "Go out from the alley in front, turn left, turn right, go straight, and the next street is Changfu Street."

Ping An obeyed the command, went through untold hardships, and finally saw Changfu Street.At this time, the street was already bustling with activity. Ping An supported a wounded and bleeding man, not daring to appear rashly on the street, so he walked around to the back alley and slammed the back door of Taoji Paper Goods Store.

The one who opened the door was Yue Niang, so Ping An invited them in without saying a word.Another Mu Shan picked up the injured and drowsy man, and placed him directly in the room on the right side of the upper room. Seeing the blood on his hands, Ping An frowned, and hurriedly asked Yue Niang for some water, and used a lot of fragrant soap to wash away the blood.

After tidying up, Ping An remembered that he had brought trouble here this time. Before the master saw him, he asked Yueniang: "Is your young master here? This time, I was able to escape from death. Thank you, young master, for not rejecting us two." outside."

"My lord is treating the injured man." Yue Niang replied.

Pingan quickly explained: "I don't know the injured man, and I don't know the details. I was hiding from another group of people, and I accidentally bumped into him. I had no choice but to bring him here. This is a reckless move. I don't know if it will Bringing trouble to your son? Should I report to the police?"

Ping An is used to the common people's avoidance of the Yamen and the darkness of the Yamen, and he also has conflicts with the Yamen.

Yue Niang said: "Young Master said that the injured person is a nobleman."

noble?

Not only was Ping An unhappy when he heard the words, but he became more and more worried. How can it be easy for someone who can hunt down and kill nobles?If it is found out that she is meddling in her own business, I am afraid that her life, and even Shi Niang's, will be in danger. This is more urgent and dangerous than being threatened by Zhao Qi to silence her.However, at that time, running with a man, on the one hand, it was indeed difficult to get away, on the other hand, he was sympathetic and could not ignore a seriously injured person, even though he knew that this little bit of kindness might bring him the risk of killing himself. It's a disaster, but people often have emotions that overwhelm reason.

She came to ask Mr. Tao for help, not because Mr. Tao saved her that night, but because Mr. Tao's appearance was too shocking. It was an ability that transcended the worldly realm, as if imperial power was not so terrible.

When he came to the room safely, he saw Mr. Tao, dressed in white, stuffing a pill into the wounded man's mouth. The wounded man was very young, with a fair and handsome face, which seemed familiar.Ping An didn't know many people, so he thought about all of them carefully, but he didn't remember knowing this person.

Tao Shuobai explained: "He got a knife wound on the side of his waist, it was a penetrating wound, luckily it was a vital wound, but the knife was very poisonous. He should have taken antidote, but it didn't work much, and he lost too much blood. Fortunately, I met you and made it all the way here."

These words are enough to show that the man came back after wandering around the gate of hell.

Pingan asked: "Then the poison on his body..."

"I've already taken the antidote pill, it doesn't matter."

Ping An breathed a sigh of relief, and asked tentatively, "Your Master, do you know his identity?"

Tao Shuo glanced at her, and said lightly: "He is the current crown prince, Zhu Changluo."

Ping An was surprised.

Prince? !

Almost in an instant, Ping An guessed the real culprit behind the assassination of the prince, because it was too easy to guess, except for the concubine Zheng and her son.

Ping'an is not a student of the history department, and he doesn't know much about the history of the Ming Dynasty, but Emperor Wanli is very famous. He has not been in court for more than [-] years, and has not been usurped by the court. It is simply unprecedented!Emperor Wanli had a very favorite concubine, Zheng Guifei, who gave birth to his most beloved son. This son was a queen for a long time, forcing the prince, mother and son to have no way out.This prince is also one of the rare unlucky ones in history. The dignified prince almost became illiterate because the emperor didn't like it. He managed to become the prince with great difficulty. It took ten years to kill the emperor and finally ascended the throne. After only one month of being the emperor, the emperor died.And the death of this emperor, even if there is no evidence, still has a bit of the shadow of Concubine Zheng Gui.

Ping An just sighed, and then stopped paying attention.She was afraid that her sudden disappearance would frighten Shi Niang, and she dared not go out alone, so she could only beg Tao Shuobai to send Shi Niang a letter.

Although Tao Shuobai knew that Du Shiniang was fine, he didn't say much, and asked Mu Shan to go for a walk.

At this time, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a tall figure coming in: "Shuobai, how is the crown prince?"

The person who came was Zhu Changshu, who came immediately after receiving the news of Tao Shuo's biography, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw a familiar face.Zhu Changshu has a good memory, recognized Ping An, raised her eyebrows slightly.

Tao Shuobai talked about Zhu Changluo's situation, and said: "She sent the prince here."

Zhu Changshu's originally indifferent eyes suddenly sharpened, full of oppression, and his words were without warmth: "I don't know how Miss Cheng met the prince?"

The assassination of the crown prince is no small matter, and there must be no less steps in the investigation and interrogation. Even though Zhu Changshu herself does not believe that Ping An is so capable, it is the attitude of the emperor's younger brother whether to ask or not.Of course, he does not have a good impression of Ping An in his private heart, but it is not as obvious as the previous repulsion.

When did Ping An face such a person before, he couldn't help but take two steps back, stabilized his mind, and told the whole story about himself. "...After I escaped from the Zhao family's carriage, I panicked and bumped into His Highness the Crown Prince. At that time, His Highness the Crown Prince held me tightly and couldn't escape, so I brought the Crown Prince down here."

Ping An did not hide her initial intention of avoiding the serious injury to the prince. Anyway, she only wanted to offset the merits and demerits, and did not expect to be rewarded for meritorious deeds.

Ping An's reaction is all human, but it is not easy to speak out so frankly.

Zhu Changshu scanned his eyes, looked back, and his tone became warmer: "If the lady hadn't acted out of righteousness, the prince would be in danger. When the prince wakes up, there must be a big thank you."

"The little girl doesn't dare to take credit, it's all a coincidence." Ping An quickly replied humbly.

Zhu Changshu raised the corners of her mouth, and teased with a half-smile: "Madam, have you thought about it? It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, really don't you want a reward?"

After a safe meal, he suddenly remembered his own situation, and remembered what he had promised Cheng Yuniang, and his heart moved.

Zhu Changshu didn't pay any attention to her, stepped forward to check the situation of the prince, and was relieved when he saw that his breathing was stable.Then he ordered the two guards who followed to lift the prince up, and the carriage was already prepared outside.

Zhu Changshu said: "The crown prince is the crown prince and the foundation of the country. The assassination of the crown prince shakes the foundation of the country. It is no small matter. If the report is made now, the major incident may be reduced to a minor one. However, the death of two scapegoats will not only fail to solve the hidden danger, but will even encourage the behind-the-scenes I have to discuss this matter with several ministers in the court, and the prince has to go away, it is best not to have anything to do with you."

Although he said "you", Zhu Changshu only looked at Tao Shuobai, which was the explanation for Tao Shuobai.

Ping An noticed something, but didn't think much about it, only thought that the two had a very good personal relationship.

"Are you not afraid of trouble?" Tao Shuobai was surprised that he cared about this matter.

Zhu Changshu sneered: "Do you think Concubine Zheng Gui is a good stubble? Her biggest thorn in the side is indeed the crown prince, but if the crown prince is gone, I will be the eldest, and still suppress her son. Can she let me live? This woman has no big city, But relying on the emperor's favor, otherwise I would have died a few times!"

Having said that, the emperor's favor is the biggest weapon for the women in the harem.Concubine Zheng was favored, not only the prince's biological mother Wang Gongfei lingered under her control, even the empress of the current dynasty had to avoid her edge.

"Call me if you have anything to do." Tao Shuobai didn't want to intervene in mortal affairs, but if it was related to Zhu Changshu, it would be an exception.

Zhu Changshu naturally heard the meaning behind the words, her heart warmed up, and she smiled: "Don't worry, if I can't solve it, I will definitely ask you for help." After speaking, she was about to leave, walked to the door and remembered something, turned around and asked: "Shuobai , you taught me the method of nourishing qi last time, I have already mastered it, but why can't I keep it? It seems that no matter how long I practice, my body can't get enough to eat. "

What Tao Shuobai taught him was the method of prolonging life and nourishing qi, suitable for ordinary people to practice. In addition, Zhu Changshu was quite talented and made rapid progress.Seeing his doubts, Tao Shuobai grabbed his wrist, and a ray of fresh air entered his body to check, but no sooner did he know that the fresh air entered, it seemed to be swallowed by a greedy beast.Tao Shuobai was startled, and after careful investigation, he finally found out the reason.

The evil spirit in Zhu Changshu's soul!
