I was a salted fish in ancient times

Xie Zhui had just received the news about the vision of An Guohou's mansion.

Rong Ji is currently in charge of the northern border army. He is a relative and has a good relationship with Xie Sui.Xie chasing Feige sent a letter to the northern border, not just for Xu Guang and Yin Tong to investigate these things, but more to trouble Rong Ji.

Because Rong Ji has great power, he can mobilize many resources.No, the news was soon found out.

The Marquis of Anguo's Mansion is not impenetrable, if you have doubts about some things, if you investigate carefully, you will soon find some clues.

Xie Zhui stared at Mrs. An, he said: "Looking at Mrs. Hou's appearance, I understand what happened to An Guohou. Madam Hou dares to say it in front of the emperor?"

Mrs. An said: "I don't know what you are talking about. Master Hou is indeed in poor health, so he has been recuperating in the Hou's mansion. This is a well-known fact. Wang Jun is in Li Wang's mansion, how does he know the border news now? Is it possible? Wang Jun still has contact with those northern border troops? Can these people continue to work hard for Wang Jun to find out information?"

"Ms. Hou's method of sowing dissension is really a big deal." Xiao Shan laughed and said, "We don't need to tell you how we inquired about the news. It's you who has a problem now. Can't you answer the question honestly? It's useful to talk about such nonsense. Is it? It won't save lives."

Mrs. An ignored him, but looked at the emperor and cried, "Your Majesty..."

She knew that the emperor felt guilty towards An's family, and An's family had shrunk to the border all these years, and had never asked the emperor for credit, nor had she received any special rewards.It's not that she was jealous of her two elder brothers and the queen mother. She also wrote to Mr. Gu, hoping that he would write a letter to the emperor to make An's family better.

But Mr. Gu said that the more the An family behaved in their own right, the more the emperor would think about the old friendship in his heart.

If the officials really wanted to wear away that bit of affection, then the An family would have nothing.

Mrs. An knew that Mrs. Gu was right, but she was still unconvinced and kept holding her breath.It wasn't until Yin Sun's marriage returned to Beijing that he realized that the emperor's concern was more important than anything else.

Now she doesn't know what happened, but she understands that as long as the emperor remembers the kindness of the past, everything will be fine.

The emperor looked at Mrs. An, if a son hadn't been abolished just now, and Xiao Shan and Xiao Jin had another son-changing incident that could shake the entire Zhou Dynasty, he would still be patient with Mrs. An.

As long as she doesn't do too much, for the sake of the Queen Mother and the old man Gu, he can turn a blind eye.

But now, he just wants to know the truth.

So the emperor looked up at Xie and asked, "What do you mean by what you just said?"

Xie Zhui looked at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I found out that An Guohou was addicted to drugs. It is said that taking that medicine is like becoming a god, and life without that medicine is worse than death. Now An Guohou can't live without it for a day. The drug has made people skinny and hungry, as thin as sticks. Everyone knows that An Guohou and Mrs. Hou have a very good relationship. An Guohou has been addicted to drugs for many years. How come Mrs. Hou never said it once? She never thought of begging the emperor. Send an imperial doctor to see him?"

Xiao Shan frowned when he heard this, he said angrily: "The Marquis of An Guo is the general who guards the gate of the country, he can be addicted to drugs, so if all his subordinates use this medicine, wouldn't the gate of the country be in danger?"

The emperor's face turned cold. Drug addiction had happened in his grandfather's time. At that time, his grandfather believed in Taoist priests and often took pills, and eventually died of drug addiction.

Although he was young at that time, he still remembered the ferocious expression on his grandpa's bloody orifices when he was about to die.

Since then, there have been no more Taoist priests in Dazhou, and after his father's rectification, this incident has never happened again.I didn't expect to hear this matter mentioned again today.

Xie Zhui followed up and said: "The Marquis of An Guo not only has addictive drugs, but also a unique Gu in Beirong. The intentions are really sinister."

Xiao Shan hurriedly said: "Father, since the medicine came from the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, she must have it with her. You should send someone to search immediately. If the medicine spreads in Beijing, the consequences will be disastrous."

Xiao Jin also said eagerly: "What the third brother said is that the emperor should immediately send someone to An Guohou's mansion to investigate. If the national scholars are infected with this drug, how can we talk about guarding the border."

The emperor naturally knew that this matter was of great importance, he didn't even look at Mrs. An who was pulling the hem of his dragon robe, and raised his voice in exchange for the Imperial Forest Army, ordering them to search Mrs. An's residence immediately.

Mrs. An really didn't expect that things would be found on her head suddenly, her face turned pale.

While waiting for the news from the Imperial Forest Army, Xiao Shan looked at her and said: "There is still time, why don't you talk about the Gu family. You keep saying that it is...someone killed Grandfather, then you say who this person is? "

When Gu Xuan heard this, his face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He thought to himself that things are weird in the house recently, and Gu Yan doesn't treat him as well as before. He thought it was his own illusion, but he didn't expect such an accident to happen inside.

Everyone looked at Mrs. An, and the emperor said coldly: "Say."

The emperor was furious, and Mrs. An was also afraid. She swallowed her saliva and said, "Second brother went to look for his father that day because of his inaction in the officialdom. "

Xiao Shan sneered and said, "That's weird. If you followed them, and their father and son talked, didn't you report it to someone when you arrived at the scene? If you went to the scene and saw it with your own eyes, that would be ironclad evidence. But afterwards , and no one saw your shadow."

"If you didn't come to the scene, how did you know the situation at that time? You knew it by feeling? Or maybe people were angry with you?"

After hearing this, Mrs. An's face turned pale and frightening, she swayed for a while, and she was about to faint on the ground.

Seeing this scene, how can everyone not understand, Gu Xuan said in disbelief: "It turned out to be you? You fainted several times when your father passed away. I thought you were overly sad, but I didn't expect you to lose popularity. You What is the intention to plant it on my head?"

Mrs. An didn't say a word, she had nothing to say, she was just unwilling after all.

From the time of her marriage when she was young, she was not reconciled.Her older sister entered the palace and was aloof, respected by the family and worshiped by others.The man she fell in love with didn't like her, and she had to make sacrifices for her family, her sister, and even her sister's children to marry a barbarian and go to a desolate land.

It is also a prostitute, it is difficult for her to return to the capital after she gets married.

Her husband is not as good as Xie's family in war, Xie's family is in full swing, An's family is tepid, and even the Marquis is given by her face.

Even if she said one thing in the An family, it's still not as good as those who have a worse family background than her.

The An family can't bring her too much glory, she hates the An family, and also hates the Xie family who don't take her seriously.

Therefore, she wanted Xie's family to be destroyed, and she wanted An's family to take Xie's family.

This is not an easy task and requires great patience.After she moved Xie Chen, she told her husband what she had done.

After hearing this, he naturally didn't want to attack Xie Sui. According to his words, the distress letter can be regarded as not seeing it, but he can't attack the northern border army.

If this matter is known, it will implicate the nine clans.

Mrs. An knew that her husband would eventually agree.Because of his cowardice, because she had already made a move, and because of a man's self-esteem, it was a fact that she liked the Xie family and looked down on the An family.Of course, it was also because if what she did was revealed, the lives of dozens of people in the An family would be buried with her.

So even if he refused for a while, he couldn't refuse for a lifetime.

Later, everything went as she expected, the An family attacked the Xie family.

Everyone says that women are scary when they are ruthless, but in fact, it doesn't matter if they are men or women, as long as they make up their minds, it is scary to be ruthless.

Xie's family ended, and An's family had a chance to appear.It's just that the emperor was angry with Xie's family and asked An's family for help, but An's family didn't move due to the rules, which almost caused the entire Northern Frontier Army to be wiped out.

The An family didn't do anything wrong, at least on the surface, no matter how uncomfortable the emperor felt, he wouldn't do anything to them.

It was the older generation of the Xie family and the queen mother who knew that she had a personal feud with the Xie family.

But at that time, the queen mother was very weak and couldn't take care of so much.

But she still didn't completely eradicate the Xie family.

And since then, her husband has become more silent, and he still has nightmares late at night, and sometimes feels sorry for Xie's family, and wants to go to the emperor to plead guilty.She just thought it was absurd, and gave him the medicine she accidentally got from a foreign businessman.

The businessman said that taking this medicine can make people forget all their troubles.

Gradually, Lord An could not do without the medicine.

His temperament was even changed by the medicine, he was very ferocious, and he often shouted that there was a ghost.

Mrs. An didn't like seeing him more and more, so he packed up and returned to Beijing with his valued children and grandchildren.

Over the years, she has always had an idea in her mind, everyone is a relative of the emperor, why can't her descendants become relatives of the emperor.

However, no one thought about her.

The sacrifices she has made are not worth mentioning in the eyes of others.

When she arrived in the capital, her life was still not smooth, because her status was not as high as others, so Xiao Shan stopped Xie Zhui even if she wanted to give Xie Zhui a blow.

Then she bewitched Gu Xuan, often inadvertently saying something in front of him and his wife that their house was about to fail.

People's hearts are fleshy, and some things can't be mentioned often. If you talk too much, no matter how broad-minded people are, they will leave traces in their hearts.

Especially when there is a comparison, everything of the Gu family, including the title and scenery, is left to the Gu family's house, and Gu Xuan has nothing.When he was drunk, he would naturally quarrel with the old man.

Mrs. An had an idea at that time, isn't the Queen and Concubine Lan, Xiao Shan and Xiao Jin on good terms?She is going to provoke the relationship between them, and then increase her own power inside.

What she didn't expect was that after Gu Xuan had a fight with Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu met her in private.

The old man Gu asked her if she said something in front of Gu Xuan, and he also said that Gu Xuan's temperament would not be like this at all if no one chewed his tongue in front of him.

Of course she didn't admit it.

Old Mrs. Gu was very disappointed, saying that she had changed, and that she could not stay in the capital, and it was better to go back to Xun'an.

Old Mrs. An was naturally angry. She had a violent quarrel with Mrs. Gu, telling all the grievances of these years, and also the evil things she had done.

Old Mrs. Gu looked at her in disbelief while clutching his chest.

Mrs. An said at the time that she would not go back even if she died. The future of her descendants was all in the capital, and she would not return to that desolate place.

Then she flung her sleeves and left without even looking at Mrs. Gu who staggered on the ground and called her.

As a result, Mrs. Gu died of illness.

Then comes the filial piety period.

She has little foundation in the capital and can only wait for the opportunity.

Soon she aimed at the crown princess Liu Jingyi, and she won Liu Jingyi to help her get rid of her enemies.But what she wants to do most is to connect with the queen through these things, so that the queen can rely on herself, and then the grandchildren of the An family will have the opportunity to enter the East Palace.

Obviously everything was within her calculations, but in the end she didn't know what went wrong.Suddenly, the queen loathed her deeply.

Xie Sui, who was supposed to fall off the cliff and die in the Xie family, jumped out.

Suddenly, Mrs. An had a feeling of God's will in the dark.

Up to now, everything has been revealed, and everything has returned to the original point.As long as the emperor investigates these matters, it is only a matter of time, and all she can do is hope that the emperor will remember the kindness of the past and forgive them.

***

The imperial guards quickly brought something from Mrs. An's residence.

Because they wanted to search for the medicine, they brought the imperial doctor with them, and with the imperial doctor there, they quickly found the medicine.

When I came to return to my life, the imperial doctor said that everything was not complete, and the contents inside had been used, but I don't know who used it.

Thinking of the people Mrs. An had come into contact with, the emperor's eyes turned cold, and he said, "Who is this thing for?"

Mrs. An opened her mouth but didn't say a word, then she shook her head violently.

Xiao Shan looked at her nervous appearance, thought of her purpose for doing all this, and suddenly said in his heart: "Crown Princess?"

Xiao Jin raised his eyes to look at him, Xiao Shan understood, and said: "These days she has only had contact with the Crown Princess..."

Xiao Jin felt chills in his heart, he hurriedly looked at the emperor and said, "Father, I will go back to the East Palace immediately to investigate this matter."

The emperor nodded.

Xiao Jin returned to the East Palace as quickly as possible. Liu Jingyi had been deposed and lived in a remote corner of the East Palace.

When Xiao Jin went to see her, she was plainly dressed, her face was haggard, her hands were rough, and she didn't look like she used to.

Seeing him, Liu Jingyi's eyes lit up, and the first thing she said was: "How is the princess?"

The emperor has appointed Xiaoxuedun as princess, and the name on the jade plate is Xiao Yuzhu.

Xiao Jin looked at her and asked, "Did Mrs. An ever give you anything?"

Liu Jingyi's eyes dimmed, and she said: "Yes, it is said to be medicine that can retain the heart of His Royal Highness."

Xiao Jin's hands were tightly held together, and he said: "Then you can..."

"No." Liu Jingyi interrupted him: "I really want to save the heart of His Royal Highness, and there are countless opportunities to put medicine in the food. I am a bit stupid, but I am not a fool. I know that there is no medicine in this world. What kind of medicine leaves a person's heart. Even if there is, it can only be called poison. A concubine can never let his child have a mother who poisoned his father."

"I still keep the things, His Royal Highness take them." Liu Jingyi finally said.

Xiao Jin looked at her, took the medicine in the jade bottle, turned and left.

Liu Jingyi watched his back until the news disappeared.

She groaned and cried.

***

The sky in the palace changed overnight.

Concubine Shu was relegated to the cold palace, her mother's family was implicated, and the four princes were adopted to King Yong who died shortly after birth.

Concubine Lan was demoted and imprisoned, and the queen thought about her mistakes behind closed doors.

Concubine Xian was released, but demoted to Zhaoyi.

As for the courtiers, the missing Xie Sui appeared, Xie Chen's eyes recovered, and the two households of the Gu family were reprimanded by the emperor and were all demoted.

The house of the Marquis of Anguo was ransacked due to suspicion of murdering courtiers and princes, and Mrs. An was given the medicine she brought.

Li Wang Xiaoshan was granted the title of King of Yunnan because of his meritorious service, and granted the fiefdom of Yunnan, which he could not take back unless he plotted against him.

When the news reached Prince Rui's residence, Xiao Rong spit out a mouthful of tea.

He couldn't believe what he heard in his ears, and he didn't understand why there were such big changes inside and outside the palace overnight.

And that Xiao Shan, what virtue and ability he has, can actually make the emperor break the ancestral system and get a fief.

Also, what does it mean that the emperor repeatedly reprimanded the empress, Concubine Lan and the Gu family?

How did Xiao Shan benefit from this?

Xiao Rong was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, he was eager to find out what happened.

Gu Linglong ate an orange and said, "My lord, from this incident, we can see that Xiao Shan is not easy, so my lord should go around him in the future."

"I've known for a long time that he is not simple. Look at how he has coaxed the father." Xiao Rong said angrily: "I just don't know what the prince is thinking at this time. Xiao Shan has a fief, and this matter is weird no matter how you look at it. .”

"It doesn't bother us to be weird." Gu Linglong said, she has completely grasped Xiao Rong's temper now.You must follow him when you should follow him, but you must not be merciful when you should hate him, otherwise you will cause a lot of mess.

It's like seeing Xiao Rong's displeasure now, Gu Linglong ate the last orange in a calm manner, and then retched while clutching her heart.

Seeing her appearance, Xiao Rong hurriedly asked for a doctor.

The doctor said with a smile, "Congratulations, my lord, my concubine is very happy."

Xiao Rong was excited when he heard that, he is going to have a son, Xiao Shan's fiefdom is not as important as his son.

Gu Linglong smiled and looked at Xiao Rong who was circling back and forth, thinking, as long as he didn't let him out, there wouldn't be too many troubles.

There are so many changes in the palace, and some people go to inquire about it.

They just sit in the palace and wait for the result, so why do they have to do it themselves to attract attention.

Xiao Shan didn't care what kind of sensation these things would cause.

When he returned to the palace, he told Xie Zhui everything that happened in the palace, and then he said: "When do you think we will go to Yunnan?"

Xie Zhui said, "Anytime is fine."

Then he grabbed Xiao Shan's hand and said tightly, "Is this the way it is in Beijing?"

Regarding the ending of those people, knowing those heart-stirring things, I still feel very angry and unwilling.

Xiao Shan smiled slightly: "Of course not, it's just the beginning."

The author has something to say: This story has changed slightly. The prince saw Concubine Lan push Xiao Shan, and then began to doubt, investigate and guard against Xiao Shan.

The queen was instigated to kill Xiao Shan, but the prince turned a blind eye, and the brotherhood no longer existed.

The princess fell out of favor, so she decided to give the prince medicine.

The prince became addicted to drugs.

In the end, Xiao Shan exposed the mystery of Concubine Xian and his own life experience, and the prince committed suicide? ? ?

In the past, the author would write like this, but this time I want the protagonist to be a big salty fish.
