Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

There was no gunpowder in this silent fight between grandparents and grandchildren. The two were silent, just confronting each other, waiting for the moment when the other party let go and the tense emotions cracked.

In the end, the Empress Dowager was defeated, she pinched a few dried flower seeds from his palm, and sat down.

"As early as the girl said that this thing was lost, Aijia realized that something was wrong, and imagined many possibilities to eradicate everyone who would become a threat. But after all calculations, I still didn't expect it. It will actually fall here with you..."

Xiao Beicheng sat down with her, poured the residue back into the sachet, tightened the mouth of the sachet, weighed it in his hand, looked at the old pattern on it, and fell into memory.

"To be honest, Ziyou gave this to me after the harem poisoning case was closed. At that time, I didn't know who it came from. Now that I think about it, it should be the most selfless person in that case. If I didn't If I remember correctly, she is Concubine Xiao."

At the end of the poisonous concubine case, Concubine Ning, who came up with a bad idea to harm others, made a crime and made meritorious deeds. The two Yue family maids led out the real culprit hidden behind the scenes. The suspicion of Concubine Yu, the mother of Xiao Junze, was cleared in court, and she was pulled out as the victim. The concubine Li and the oiran Qihuang colluded to deceive the Lord.

Concubine Li, who was framed by her accomplices and ruined her reputation, was furious for a moment, and dragged her sick body to fight the nobleman who poisoned her. A vital role has been overlooked.

——That was Dayi who pointed out the suspicion of the murderer, Concubine Xiao, the head of the Liuhua Palace where the nobleman Yi lived.

Concubine Xiao was born in the general family, and was brought to the battlefield by her father since she was a child. She has seen bloody battles. In her eyes, the intrigue in the harem is like a child playing house. Who will be enmity with.

As for whether she has to expose the murderer by name, regardless of her sense of justice to make the truth known to the public, as an outsider, she has no need to participate in other people's cases. Who would be willing to cause some trouble for nothing in a coquettish suit?

It's a little bit reluctant to say that it's a fight for favor. It's no secret that the emperor has lost interest in the concubines in the harem. He even jokingly called them "remnant flowers and willows". The "faint king" took the risk to pick wild flowers outside, and besides, this Concubine Xiao didn't like to be jealous with others, otherwise, other people's sons would not have lived in the East Palace, and her stomach hadn't moved at all.

She never made enemies, never fought for favor, so why did this woman, who had no legitimate reason to make a move, follow her with a fistful of mud?

Xiao Beicheng was puzzled until he learned about Lin Xici's past from Qin Nangui, the Marquis of Ding'an. The man's condition worsened for a while during his southern tour, and the traveling doctors used poppy seeds to numb his pain and eased his pain. Symptoms, but failed to solve the problem from the root cause, resulting in delays in the disease, more and more serious.

After investigation, it turned out that the poppies flowed out of the palace...

Xiao Beicheng took a deep breath, held it in for a long time, and then uttered it along with the words, "Grandmother, I heard that your parents were nobles from the Daoming Kingdom. The climate there is mild and the soil is moist, which is very suitable for the growth of poppies. Your hidden It is not impossible to bring some to the abyss, right?"

The queen mother lowered her eyelids and did not answer.

"Because Lin Xi resigned from Mrs. Lin to speak in front of the late emperor, and made your only daughter marry away, you must have been unwilling at that time, but you were soft-hearted and didn't have the courage to kill him, so you just tried to make his condition worse, right? ?”

When Lin Xici was mentioned, the Empress Dowager's forehead twitched, her eyes widened, and she sighed after a long while, "Yes, but not all. At that time, the Ai family was also a very jealous woman..."

While muttering, she stretched her hands out of her sleeves, took off the eighteen small-leaf red sandalwood rosary beads on her wrist, put them on the table, and stared at them intently.

"He proposed to let Wanwan marry Yuanyuan Yueshi during his southern tour. It is true that the late emperor had Aijia's eyes, but even if the news came back from the pigeons, it would take a few days, so Aijia actually belonged to him. I made preparations before leaving. But at that time, Aijia was only resentful because he was charming and deceiving the Lord. I couldn't figure out why a man could win the king's heart. He said that he would eliminate harm for the country, but in fact he only had personal resentment in his heart... "

"The person who tipped you off was Huan Yi, right?"

The Queen Mother did not deny, "Later, when it was learned that Wan Wan married away because of him, the Ai family regretted not killing him... But that time, the former emperor had already become suspicious of the Ai family, and the Ai family could no longer kill him. Let's do it, otherwise Wanwan will be affected by the mother of Ai's family, and even if she wants to go back to Dayuan, she will be homeless..."

"I believe you never took any action against Master Lin after that."

"Because Aijia realized that the reason why the first emperor sealed off the harem was not because Lin Xici was really important to him, but because he had already lost interest in us old people who are old and decrepit. Even without Lin Xici, Concubine Yue , beauties from the Western Regions...all of them are more likable than us. He is a ruthless person, he likes to watch people fight to the death, but he is not willing to give even a little bit of sincerity. There is no need for such a man to add to his own karma .”

It seems that the queen mother chose to stop because she saw all this clearly.

Xiao Beicheng knew that as a descendant, he didn't have the right to judge the late emperor's character, not to mention the trivial things he heard might not be able to piece together the truth, he didn't want to solve the problem with too much personal emotion.

"Then, what about Huan Yi?" Xiao Beicheng asked, "As far as I know, Mr. Lin was poisoned by Mr. Huan during his lifetime. Not long after that person passed away, he also followed in Mr. Lin's footsteps. After that, you and Yi Rong What is the relationship between Cheng Huan's generation in charge of the East and West Factory and the eunuch who is really the 'Xiaoer'?"

"Xiao Er was originally from the palace of the Ai family, but was later spotted by Huan Yi. He was the offspring brought out by himself. Duke Huan is getting old, and he is not a monster who can live a long life. He also knows that he should find him He was an heir, but when he left, Xiaoer was still a half-grown child and couldn't afford big things, so Duke Huan died in a dark secret room, and was not found for many years, until the first emperor passed away and the emperor was about to ascend the throne Yes, Xiao Er discovered the mechanism by coincidence, and became the second Huan Yi in accordance with his will."

There are not so many coincidences in the world, I am afraid that this chance is also caused by man, but at this time no one wants to find out who has contributed to the delicate relationship between the three generations of "Huan Er" and "Huan San". , Xiao Beicheng asked again: "It seems that this is the reason why the second generation of the factory father got close to the emperor's grandmother. The younger generation also wants to know, what did this man do to become the emperor's confidant?"

At this time, the person he was talking about had been quietly replaced by Emperor Yuan. When he mentioned this son who only had the grace of nurturing, but no real affection between mother and child, the Empress Dowager's eyes dimmed, which also confirmed Xiao Beicheng's guess.

——It seems that the situation where the Empress Dowager listened to the government behind the curtain and acted arbitrarily three years ago was indeed an illusion that was carefully forged.

The Empress Dowager seemed unwilling to bring it up, she looked at Xiao Beicheng with a pleading look in her eyes, she wanted to beg him not to get to the bottom of it, but the other party wanted to save Jun Ziyou, this was not negotiable, the Empress Dowager covered her face and sighed, helpless, I have to be honest.

"The first emperor was killed by someone, not a sudden illness as recorded by the historian. The Ai family had doubts about the cause of the first emperor's death from the very beginning, but it didn't take long, Wan Wan, your mother also... mourned The Aijia couldn't bear the blow, and once thought about leaving with them, the only obsession that kept Aijia alive was to hope that the new emperor would find out the murderer and give them justice."

"But the emperor didn't pursue it."

The queen mother choked up, "The emperor...Yuan'er killed the official historian and forcibly changed the cause of death of the former emperor to a sudden illness. There was no intention of a thorough investigation at all. Ai's family even thought it was him..."

Now the Empress Dowager still doesn't know who killed her husband and beloved daughter. Xiao Beicheng, who knew the secret, was a little restless, "Then how did the emperor's grandmother trust the emperor?"

"Empress Sage left early. After all, he was raised by the Ai family. The Ai family understood his character and knew that he would not do such a stupid thing as killing his father and seizing the throne. The Ai family felt that he must have something to hide. When the emperor ascends the throne, his foundation is not stable, and he always relies on majesty to gain a foothold, and the Ai family understands him very well, so they didn't force him to give an explanation."

"But the emperor seems to have made too many demands on the emperor's grandmother."

The queen mother let out a long breath, "It's not too much, at least Aijia thinks his request is reasonable and acceptable."

Xiao Beicheng's voice turned cold when he heard the words, and he was completely puzzled, "Could it be that you are made to be a wicked person who holds great power, disregards the ancestral etiquette, and will leave a stigma forever, and you also..." At this point, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. Shut up.

The Empress Dowager did not pursue his responsibility for overreaching, because her only daughter died young, and she devoted all her love to her only relative, so naturally she would not criticize Xiao Beicheng.

She said: "Qing Jue, you are still young, and you don't understand many things. You can't understand why the Ai family has no blood relationship with him, but still treats him sincerely. The Ai family has raised him for 20 years, 20 years... ...I have long been in love with my own mother and son, and the Ai family hopes that he can be a good emperor, and is willing to help him no matter what the price is."

Xiao Beicheng was dumbfounded. I am afraid that this mother-child relationship only exists in the Queen Mother's wishful thinking, and in the illusion created by Emperor Yuan for her.

"Grandmother, have you never doubted it?"

"Whether he pretends to be a puppet, pretends to be a pig or eats a tiger, it's all for the purpose of surviving on the throne. Although Aijia doesn't agree that he killed his brother in order to eradicate the threat, it's fine with King Han's temperament. If he succeeds , will definitely kill Yuan'er mercilessly, if one of them is destined to die, then the Aijia would rather be his own son who survives."

The Queen Mother also has the selfishness of being a mother, which made Xiao Beicheng feel even more sad, and couldn't bear to say the next words.
