Qing Chuannian Imperial Concubine
But she didn't want to wrong herself.
She didn't want to share a bed with a man who disgusted her.
So after thinking for a while, she followed Tuozan's words and said, "Sister is right.
Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and is working hard day and night. I shouldn't trouble you. "
The last sentence was said to Xue Pinggui.
After he heard it, he looked at the two of them. In addition, there were other things pressing down on his mind, so he didn't think too much about it.
"In that case,
Then the Empress will be taken care of by my beloved concubine tonight. "With a sigh, Xue Pinggui opened his arms.
He hugged Siyang and Tuozan's shoulders.
His tone was gratified. "Speaking of which,
I only have two concubines, the Empress and the West Palace.
You two sisters should get together and have a good chat to cultivate your relationship. "
"Your Majesty is right." Tuozan smiled and nodded. She held Siyang with one hand.
Her face was full of sisterly love.
However, she was probably the only one who knew what she was thinking in her heart.
Siyang sneered in her heart.
In the end, she didn't show anything on her face.
She just echoed.
She was gentle and virtuous.
She was full of tenderness and virtue.
The assassin had been in a daze and couldn't say a word.
Siyang didn't care about what kind of interrogation would be like or what the result would be. She didn't think that an assassin could pull Tuozan down. Not to mention whether the assassin would confess to her, even if she did, Xue Pinggui wouldn't touch a hair on Tuozan. On the contrary, if she didn't let go, she would expose herself.
Anyway, the goal of tonight had been achieved. Some things needed to be slowly infiltrated. For example, more than half of the people in the palace were from Xiliang. Moreover, everyone was more convinced by Tuozan than Xue Pinggui.
He believed that no one in power would allow such a thing to happen. Even if they could not make a move now, how could they allow others to sleep beside them? Sooner or later, they would have to settle the score.
Wang Baochuan was a kind person, so she would just follow her character.
That night, Siyang followed Tuozan to her Western Palace to rest. The Western Palace was not as magnificent as the main palace, but the furnishings were much better than her Jade Earth Palace.
Tuozan was proud and arrogant. She pretended to be nice in front of Xue Pinggui, but she didn't have the time to do that in front of Wang Baochuan. Siyang thought the same.
When he returned to the Jade Earth Palace the next day, Siyang heard the news that the assassin had committed suicide by biting his tongue in prison.
"It seems that His Majesty has made a decision."
After last night's incident, more people were sent to the Jade Earth Palace today. The guards were also increased. It seemed to be to appease Siyang. Xue Pinggui also sent a large number of rewards along with the news.
Siyang accepted all of them. It would be a waste if she didn't take them. The assassin's death was within her expectations, so she didn't feel angry.
"How could Your Majesty do this? Wasn't that assassin obvious?" Siyang didn't care about it, but Cui 'er was still angry.
Siyang handed the new palace servants to a few old nannies. She took Cui 'er out for a walk.
Looking at Cui 'er's angry face, Siyang laughed. "Didn't I tell you earlier?"
The commander of the imperial guards was Xiliang's man. When the assassin was caught, he obviously wanted to protect him. Cui 'er rushed out to beg Xue Pinggui. This was all within her calculations. Siyang had also told her the result.
Cui 'er was still depressed. "Even so, Young Miss, we can't just let them bully us. Now that His Majesty is protecting Imperial Consort Niangniang like this, I'm afraid there won't be a place for you in the future."
The morning dew was heavy. After two steps, the hem of her clothes was wet. The master and servant stood on a small bridge. This place was remote and quiet with no one around.
Cui 'er supported her young miss and sighed. "Don't blame this servant for talking too much. I'm just worried."
It was autumn. Many yellow leaves had fallen from the lake under the bridge. They drifted with the waves. In the distance, they could see people tending to the plants.
"The assassin has been used. What place do you think there will be?"
Whether it was Xue Pinggui or Tuozan, none of them wanted Wang Baochuan to live well.
Tuozan couldn't wait for her to die so that she could give way to her. As for Xue Pinggui, he was bound by morality and couldn't do anything openly. However, he had many tricks up his sleeves. He also deliberately let Tuozan go. This showed how cruel he was.
"Cui 'er, I know what you want to say. Leave the palace, this place of trouble, right?" Staring at the blue sky, Siyang shook her head slowly and spoke softly. However, the words she said were filled with anger. "I waited for Xue Pinggui for 18 years. It's fine if he was heartless, but he used me, his wife, to save his reputation. Now that I'm no longer useful, he wants to kick me away. How can it be so simple?"
Cui 'er felt the arm she was supporting tighten in an instant.
"If they don't pay back what they owe me, I won't be satisfied even if I die." Siyang was speaking the words in Wang Baochuan's heart.
"So, I won't leave. I won't let them off easily. Tuozan wants the position of Empress, so I'm going to sit there firmly and steadily. Xue Pinggui wants me to die, so I'm going to live longer than him. Not only that, this world … Who?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Siyang's expression hardened. She looked below the bridge. Her sharp intuition told her that there was someone hiding there.
Cui 'er was startled. She also looked down. There was a row of parasol trees under the bridge. They were lush with leaves. Could there be someone hiding there?
Seeing that her shout didn't call out the person, Siyang was slightly displeased. Her slightly raised almond-shaped eyes narrowed.
The row of parasol trees was so close that one person couldn't wrap his arms around each of them. A corner of indigo-colored clothes flashed out.
Cui 'er covered her mouth in surprise when she saw it. There was really someone there. Then she panicked. What they said just now, could it be …
Siyang's expression didn't change. She patted her gently to comfort her. Her eyes were fixed in that direction, waiting for that person to appear.
But who knew that there would be a twist in the situation?
The Runan Of Gojoseon was ordered by His Majesty to quell the rebellion. During the battle, he faked his defeat and led the enemy to take the bait. Not only did he beat the Xiliang Army at the border until they were forced to retreat, but in the end, he also cleared out the people in the territory.
At the same time, the forces that belonged to him in the dark were revealed. However, by the time they were alerted, it was already too late. No one knew what he said, but the generals who went with him changed sides one after another. It was as if they were supporting him as the emperor.
The Emperor was seriously ill and there was no leader in the court. When the Runan Of Gojoseon led his troops into Chang 'an, the court officials were all sweating. They were afraid that he would directly attack the city. If he really did so, no one could do anything. After all, other than the remaining imperial guards and city guards left in Chang' an, there were no other soldiers and horses. The rest of the soldiers and horses were all gathered by the Runan Of Gojoseon. They couldn't fight together at all.
Unexpectedly, the Runan Of Gojoseon left all the soldiers and generals outside the city. He only brought a group of cavalry into the city. That night, he even rescued the Emperor, who was stabbed by the rebellious Princess Tuozan.
The Emperor's body had been diagnosed by the imperial physician. His body was deteriorating, and with the knife wound in his heart, he didn't have much time left to live.
Under such circumstances, the Runan Of Gojoseon should strike while the iron was hot and seize the throne.
However … he didn't.
The Runan Of Gojoseon was still sitting quietly in his Wangye. He still looked like a good official. Every day, he went to the palace to report to His Majesty about court affairs. He looked diligent. If it weren't for the soldiers and horses stationed outside the city, the court officials would almost believe him.
Perhaps the Runan Of Gojoseon was waiting for His Majesty to die so that he could sit on the throne openly.
Since they couldn't see His Majesty snatching the throne, everyone could only wait for His Majesty to pass away so that the Runan Of Gojoseon could ascend to the throne.
There was no one in the country who was a match for the Runan Of Gojoseon. If he wanted to rebel, it would be a matter of minutes. Moreover, he was a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty. Thinking about it this way, the opposition could be ignored, and there was a … strange sense of comfort.
They waited and waited. The court officials watched helplessly as His Majesty finally passed away on a sunny afternoon. They breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but they also became nervous.
The time had come.
His Majesty's funeral was held grandly.
They waited and waited, but there was still no news.
The court officials stretched their necks to see what the Runan Of Gojoseon was going to do. However, he was like an old monk who sat still and didn't react at all.
Therefore, during the daily court meetings, there was a very … strange scene. The court officials who met each other in the morning mostly greeted each other.
"You're here."
"Ah, you're here too. Have you eaten?"
Now that they met, after looking at each other, they quietly whispered into each other's ears.
"Is there any news about that person today?"
"No, there's no news at all."
Every day, the court officials were worried about, "Why hasn't the Runan Of Gojoseon rebelled yet?"
They kept talking until news of the Empress giving birth came from the palace. Then some people realized that other than the Great Prince, there was another in the Empress' belly.
The Great Prince was half Xiliang. Not to mention whether he could inherit the throne, with the Runan Of Gojoseon around, it was unlikely. The gender of the baby in the Empress' belly was still unknown. Even if it was a prince, it wouldn't be of any help.
Because of this, ever since the Runan Of Gojoseon returned to Chang 'an, people had neglected the Empress. Now that she was about to give birth, they remembered her.
When the Empress was born, the Runan Of Gojoseon hurried into the palace and summoned the imperial doctors to help the Empress give birth. After hearing this news, those who were sensitive noticed something strange.
"It's a little prince." Cui 'er smiled happily as she held the newborn baby.
Siyang didn't spend much effort giving birth. The baby was obedient and came out without any trouble.
After lying on the bed and taking a few deep breaths, Siyang said, "Let me take a look."
