Reborn as King again

The intrigues and battles in the harem are closely related to the families in the court.It's not difficult to see that the three major families I maintain have all suffered greatly.

Needless to say, the Jia family, the eldest son's unclean harem, and the daughter of a favorite concubine who didn't report it, are all capital crimes. In the past year, the Jia family has lived their lives licking their faces in the court, allowing other families to suppress them. don't say anything.

The He family is not much better. The prince Li Ji who will assist him in the future is suddenly given the name of "murderer". , and Ban Rixian's words are quite effective among the people, and many people believe them, so Li Ji's "murderer" theory is still difficult to clear up.

And the Xia family actually had a Xia Zhiyuan who used witchcraft to murder the emperor's heir. Thanks to Xia Zhiyuan's death, all the princes recovered, otherwise it would not be enough to bury the entire Xia family.

Under such circumstances, the fourth family rose up, that is, the Liu family who once dominated the power at the time of my father.In the case of Xia Jinzhu's secret pregnancy a year ago, Liu Sha, the daughter of the Liu family, was implicated for no reason. She was poisoned by drinking medicine and gave birth prematurely. In the end, she gave birth to the tenth princess Li Xian'er. One year later, the "culprit" In the same incident, and in the witchcraft incident, Liu Sha once again became a victim for no reason. Her one-year-old baby daughter Xian'er died early.In the eyes of outsiders, in order to appease Liu Sha's pain of bereavement, I started to use the Liu family again. Therefore, the momentum of the Liu family is in full swing in the court, approaching the other three major families, and becoming the fourth largest family that can compete with it. family.

With the return of the Liu family, the other families must not sit still, but they can't do anything.Jia Wanru, the biggest bargaining chip of the Jia family in the harem, was imprisoned in Baoge Palace by me. I have been neglected until now, and I have never even seen each other, let alone sniffing or listening to me.Not to mention the He family, He Wenyan had been contemplating behind closed doors for three months, and now he couldn't even get out of the gate of He Mansion, and He Wenliu didn't care about the changes in the court at all.

The only one that can move around is the Xia family. The Xia family and the queen mother have always been in a line. In addition, the queen mother hates the Liu family. My mother was the first to jump out and strongly objected, but this time I went against her mother's wishes and confronted her hard-nosed, which hurt her heart, and made me go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning several times to ask for her mother's comfort, but I didn't see her behind closed doors, saying yes No matter how old you are, you should concentrate on worshiping the Buddha and don't ask about external affairs.

The queen mother's prejudice against the Liu family is purely a personal grievance. Since Liu Sha entered the palace, she has never given Liu Sha a good look. Even Jia Wanru, who is all-round and exquisite, does not have the stamina of Liu Sha.So after Li Xian'er's death, I should feel more pity for this poor mother and concubine.

On the fifth day after Xia Zhiyuan was executed with a cane, all the princes fully recovered. Those who should go to Taifuyuan went to Taifuyuan, and those who should babble learned to speak.Only then did the queen mother decree to release Li Ji from the ancestral hall.

I remembered that when I was walking near the ancestral hall a few days ago, I accidentally heard Li Ji’s heart-piercing cry, so I refused to let He Wenliu go to the ancestral hall to pick up Li Ji. What happened again made He Wenliu more troubled.

Outside the ancestral hall, the monks who chanted sutras and the Buddha, and the shamans who danced the shaman dance had all left, and the area around the ancestral hall was quiet, looking a little gloomy.

The inner eunuch guarding the entrance of the ancestral hall saw me coming, and hurriedly greeted me, then unlocked the door of the ancestral hall, pushed the door open, and invited me in.

When I stepped into the ancestral hall, I saw a mess inside, even the ranks of the concubines were tilted here and there, the tributes and incense burners were all thrown to the ground, the ancestral hall was silent, and no one was seen.

Li Ji was indeed locked in the ancestral hall, but now he is silent, probably hiding somewhere.

"Ji'er?" I tentatively called out: "Ji'er, it's the father, the father is here to pick you up, it's all right, where are you? Come out."

There was still no movement, and no one was silent in the ancestral hall.Fortunately, the ancestral hall is not big, so I walked around to see if Li Ji was hiding in any corner and dared not come out: "Ji'er? Ji'er, come out quickly, your mother and concubine are still waiting for you in Qingluan Hall " In desperation, I had no choice but to move out of He Wenliu, and Li Ji was closest to He Wenliu in the palace.

Heck, I heard one sound after another, and looked along the source of the sound, it seemed to be coming from the altar in the center of the ancestral hall, and the tablecloth covering the altar trembled slightly.

The inner eunuchs wanted to enter the house to help me find it. I waved them away, walked slowly to the altar, squatted down, and lifted the tablecloth. Sure enough, Li Ji hid under the table with his arms folded.

Li Ji's eyes were red and swollen, there were traces of tears on his white and tender cheeks, his whole body was trembling, I reached out to pull him out, but Li Ji was like a frightened bird, backed away in fright, unwilling to touch me .

I screamed in my heart that it was not good, maybe Li Ji was scared stupid by the monks and mages outside when he was imprisoned in the ancestral hall these days.No matter how mature Li Ji was, he was still just a child. After being imprisoned for so many days, no one paid attention to him, and the group of people outside the door chanted mantras to him, so it's no wonder he didn't break down.

Thinking of this, I grabbed Li Ji's small arm and dragged him out from under the table. Li Ji lowered his head and didn't speak. I beat the dust on his body and gently comforted his back. Said softly: "Ji'er, it's all right, father and emperor have come to pick you up, why don't you speak?"

Li Ji raised his little head after a while, stared at me with those clear eyes, pursed his lips, his eye sockets became moist, and shook his head vigorously, but he didn't dare to say anything.

It seems that Li Ji can still listen to what I said, I smiled, and patted Li Ji's head to reassure him: "Talk to Father Huang, have you been wronged, tell Father Emperor, Father will vent his anger on you, okay?"

Hearing what I said, Li Ji couldn't bear it anymore, and burst into tears, holding the hem of my dragon robe with his little hand, crying: "Father, please don't lock me up again, my son! It's not a murderer, I didn't harm other brothers, Father, you have to trust my son, I'm not a murderer!"

I took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped away Li Ji's tears. I didn't want him to shed more and more. It would be better for the child to let him vent when he was wronged. The son is not a murderer, but my son."

"They all said that," Li Ji pointed out the door while sobbing: "If I'm not a murderer, why are there so many people in strange clothes outside the door? They recite a lot of spells, and they say I'm The evil son, it will destroy the foundation of Datong, they also said that the father and the mother concubine will not want a son, oh..., father, you and the mother concubine really don't want a son? Isn't the son a murderer? My son, my son is your son..."

From Li Ji's words, I can hear some clues: "Who said you will destroy the foundation of Datong? Will Zhen and Concubine Wen want you?"

"The eunuchs who deliver meals to my ministers all say that," Li Ji replied without thinking, "I want them to pass a message to my concubine mother, but they don't want to, so I just say that about my son..."

After I heard this, I gave Wanfu a wink, and Wanfu nodded slightly to show that he knew what to do to punish those talkative eunuchs.

I took Li Ji's fleshy little hand, and said with a smile: "Of course Ji'er is not a murderous son, the emperor is here to pick you up, let's go back to Qingluan Palace, your mother and concubine may have to wait in a hurry."

"OK.".

I sent Li Ji back to the gate of Qingluan Hall and left.

After seeing Li Ji, the little green son who was guarding the door ran up to him happily: "His Royal Highness Sixth Prince, Concubine Wen has been waiting for you for a long time, you should hurry up and meet him."

"Okay, but I have to freshen up first." Li Ji walked towards his bedroom: "If my concubine sees me so sloppy, I'm afraid she will be worried."

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince is still thoughtful, and this servant will fetch water for you now." As Xiaoluzi said, she went down to prepare for Li Ji's grooming.

In the dormitory, Li Ji asked all the eunuchs to go down, and stayed alone in the dormitory. He walked slowly to the wooden basin, stretched his head and put his face into the warm water of the wooden basin. After a while, it looked like Li Ji Ji came out of the water when he couldn't hold his breath in the water.

Li Ji raised his head, looked at himself in the bronze mirror with a water-stained face, reached out to wipe off the water on his face, and showed a deep smile.

"Ji'er?" A voice came out.

Li Ji turned around and saw that it was He Wenliu who came in a hurry.

He Wenliu had been waiting impatiently for Li Ji, and as soon as he heard that Li Ji was back, he rushed to have a look.He Wenliu walked up to Li Ji quickly, pulled his small body to look left and right, and complained, "Why don't you come here first to greet the concubine mother?"

Li Ji said with a smile: "My son wants to wash up first, so that the mother and concubine are worried."

Seeing that Li Ji still looked like a young adult, He Wenliu felt relieved. It seemed that Li Ji didn't suffer any serious crimes when he was locked into the ancestral hall, but after touching Li Ji's body bones, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight and lost weight again. Distressed.

Li Ji saw that He Wenliu didn't speak, but his eyes were full of distress, so he quickly changed the subject: "Mother, concubine, I'm fine, I just stayed in the ancestral hall for a few days. It's quiet, I'm not used to it."

"Yun'er, Yun'er..." There are some things that can't be hidden at all, He Wenliu still told Li Ji that Yun'er might be stupid after being ill, but didn't notice Li Ji's clenched fist hidden in his sleeve.

This is the end of the case of the murderer, Xia Zhiyuan took the blame, and Li Ji was rehabilitated after being framed.Xia Zhiyuan guessed right, the person who framed him for hiding the witchcraft doll in his bedroom was Ruolan, because Ruolan took poison and "committed suicide" on the day Xia Zhiyuan was executed.There is also Ban Rixian, the quack warlock who deduced that Li Ji was the murderer, but he couldn't find it. He seemed to have evaporated, and outsiders guessed that he was killed by someone.But more than ten years later, when people had long forgotten about this incident, another Ban Yuexian appeared in the capital city. It is said that he calculated fortunes, warded off disasters and solved difficulties, and was extremely accurate, making him famous all over the capital.
