Chapter 184

After Tan Xun left, someone from Yonghua Palace came to deliver the decree, saying that the Imperial Concubine had summoned her to come to the palace tomorrow to talk. After inquiring further, tomorrow King Qing is going to the palace to pay his respects to the Imperial Concubine, and she probably wants the two of them to be present as well.

Now, after a complete lack of support, hiding in the Chengqian Palace not to see people. Your Highness’ son was also banished from the palace, but without complaining, he still took care of all the affairs of the palace, which pleased the emperor so much that he allowed them to say goodbye to his son and his mother.

In Yonghua Palace, Rong Xiangmei looked at and she has known the Qing Wangfei since childhood, eyes slightly swollen, want to be at home crying for a long time, at this moment is trying to maintain a dignified and decent posture.

Just to see each other, tears welled up again, “Last year, you and King Qing also bowed together, won the king of Yu, gave me a red gold wire standing phoenix gold hairpin, who knows ……”.

Rong Xiangmian painfully pulled her, “When you get to Liangzhou, take care of yourselves and your children.”

“I know, at any rate not like qi wang family like flesh and blood separation, is good, family in one place, go anywhere.”

Listening to her daughter-in-law’s words, the Royal Concubine couldn’t help but feel sad and angry, and once again chided King Qing, “Look at your daughter-in-law, such a good girl with you, why don’t you want to live a peaceful life? I can’t believe your father said you bribed the Criminal Justice Department!”

King Qing rubbed himself up, for the first time throwing off his usual mask of filial understanding in front of his mother.

“Ansheng? How have you ever taught me to live in peace? Ever since I was a child, you told me that Xian Yang was the first-born of the Central Palace, and that I should give in to him in every way! Later, when Empress Yu had an accident and he went to Qinzhou, you told me to work hard to please my father and emperor, to be the crown prince and emperor in the future, so that I could save Empress Yu from getting out! All these years, I’ve been trying to do what you asked. But, I didn’t expect ……”

Xian Yao pointed at Xian Yang with a look of aggrieved indignation, “He came back from Qinzhou again! You also love him more than me, and want me to put him first in everything. Am I your son or is he your son? Do you want him to be the emperor so that I will willingly assist him? Then what is all my years of hard work? Am I just a tool for you to save Yu? I’m not convinced! Mother, do you know that a person’s ambition, once nurtured, cannot be extinguished!”

Listening to her son’s accusation, Imperial Concubine’s dignified and elegant appearance finally collapsed, shocked beyond words.

She stood up from the main phoenix seat and walked step by step in front of King Qing, saying, “So you then returned the favor by urging Empress Zhang to go to the Imperial Tomb to harm your sister. Utilizing Sister Yu’s safety with the intention of framing Xian Yang, do you know that …… without her, there is no way for you to be born safely!”

“Yes, she is kind to us, and I have long made up my mind that if I win the throne, I will immediately invite Yu out of the Imperial Tomb and give her the honor of Holy Mother Empress Dowager. However, I don’t owe Xian Yang, I don’t want to be a stepping stone for him!”

“Heh ……” The Imperial Concubine knew that she blamed her own attitude over the years for giving her son a rebellious heart, and it was useless to regret it at this moment. Only to walk to the hall himself, to Zhou Xian Yang in front of, straight down on his knees, performed a big salute.

“My son has made a mistake because my parents did not teach him well. Xian Yang, I beg you, in the future, if you want to be angry, just come at me, I’m stuck in this palace for most of my life, I’ve long been tired of it, my life if you want to take it, at least keep the life of the three members of the family of the Hsien-Yao family, okay? They’ll never return to the capital, and they won’t pose any threat to you. I beg you!”

Before Zhou Xian Yang could reply, King Qing had already jumped to his mother’s side, his face reddened, almost ashamed of himself, “Mother Consort, how can you kneel to him!”

“Why can’t I kneel? In private, Xian Yang is the son of a benefactor; in public, the world will mostly be Xian Yang’s in the future, so sooner or later he will have to kneel. You always say I’m biased, I really don’t know how else to do it for you …… Now that I’ve given up my life, I don’t know if you still think I’m biased ……”

Zhou Xian Yao heard, could not help but hug his mother and lost his voice.

Looking at the bitter scene of their mother and son, Zhou Xian Yang sighed and tried to restrain his anger, “Imperial Concubine, you have treated me well, and I will not take your life. But I am really disappointed in you. What you …… you guys, each and every one of you care about, is that you shouldn’t color the Criminal Justice Department, and you shouldn’t covet the imperial power to be detected. From the beginning to the end, you have never thought about the people who died in the floods of Jiangzhou and the residents near the Jumbo Tower who were burned and looted by bandits……. These hundreds of human lives, for you it seems that it is not a crime at all, and even mentioning it is not worth mentioning, is human life really like a mole cricket in your eyes?”

After Zhou Xian Yang finished speaking, he threw off his hemline, pulled Xiang Xiang, and directly strutted away from in front of the Imperial Concubine.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Xiangmian purposely dragged him to Fu Ning Palace, today was the day that Xian Yao came with a letter, she wanted to be the first to see it.

Hui Guifei now is the palace, the most provincial consort, see the phase to see straight sigh: “Fortunately I did not have a son, which one by one was relegated to be secluded and thrown into the dungeon of …… no one provincial …… ”

Finished a glance at Zhou Xian Yang, and some self-remorse, urged: “You two have to be more careful ah.”

Rong Xiangyang recently also gave birth to some feeling of being in a high place. Luckily, Yun Wang was also appointed Prince, now Zhou Xian Yang claimed to be sick, Yun Wang began to be asked by the emperor to help. However, he is naturally bored with mundane tasks, and from time to time, he would bring the Emperor’s errands to the Jing Yi Yuan to seek advice from Zhou Xian Yang. Zhou Xianyang naturally understands his caution.

The two people have a sense of the Emperor and the seventh uncle for a while, so the Emperor is quite pleased.

Qi-wang is young, and now he has been betrothed, and will be married in the next few days, and is expected to start participating in the affairs of the dynasty after the wedding. However, he was only interested in practicing in the army and becoming a good general, just like his fourth brother.

Zhou Xianyang looks down on all this. He didn’t need to live and die as a member of his family.

He calmly sipped his tea and watched the latest letter from Xian Yao unfold.

The light cast into the corridor, refracted into the hall, enveloping Rong Xiangmian’s bright smile, the corners of her lips unconsciously rose with the content of the letter.

By the end of the letter, that smile froze on her lips again, turning into a wisp of stiffness.

“What’s wrong?” Zhou Xian Yang was sensitive to the problem, and Rong Xiangmian raised his head, “There are no those four words.”

“Which four words?”

“All is well.” Rong Xiangshi stood up and took Noble Consort Hui’s hand, “This time, how many letters did Xian Yao send?”

Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Noble Consort Hui immediately became a bit flustered and headed to the inner room to fetch the letters, “Four! What’s wrong?”

Rong Xiangmian followed her over and said, “I made an appointment with her to write these four words at the end of every letter she sends to me after arriving in the Northern True Kingdom, and she has never stopped since she married two years ago. If there are no these four words, it is because she has encountered a difficult situation.”

“Ah? What kind of difficult things can she encounter?” Concubine Hui’s voice trembled.

Rong Xiangxian unfolded the other three letters one by one, which were written to the Emperor, Noble Consort and Mingyue, and after reading them carefully, they were all unusual contents, not different from the past days.

Zhou Xian Yang asked, “Since you have an agreement with her, then naturally you have prepared a backhand, right?”

Rong Xiangyan nodded, and ordered the palace staff to bring a dish of vinegar, dabbed it with a clean brush, and began to gently scribble it on the back of the letter paper.

Concubine Hui stared at Xiangmian with a strange look, and then gazed at the marks on the letter paper, and soon, words appeared on it.

It was to the effect that the Lord of the Northern True Kingdom had fallen off his horse and injured himself, and his illness was sinking in, and that the Third King’s Uncle, Sang Yan, had secretly conspired with several tribal leaders with the intention of seizing the throne and killing the Lord of the Kingdom and Enji. The letter also listed the names of the participating tribal leaders.

“Why?” Princess Hui couldn’t believe it, “The Bei Zhen State Lord is highly respected, why don’t the tribal leaders continue to support Prince Enji and turn against him?”

Zhou Xian Yang said in a deep voice, “Because he is too young and married a princess of the state dynasty.”

Princess Hui did not understand, “Hasn’t it always been like this since the founding of the State Dynasty?”

“If it has always been like this, does it deserve it?” Rong xiang see to this catastrophe is in mind, just now is not the time of the accident, “that sang yan is a lord, he has long been dissatisfied with the successive northern real state masters to be peaceful in the grassland, for generations and our dynasty mutual market friendship. Have the intention to replace, break the two countries alliance, waving the army south. The fact that the Lord of the Northern True Kingdom is heavily injured and sick is the best time to do so.”

“Then what about Xian Yao?” Hui Guifei’s tears came out anxiously, Zhou Xian Yang and Rong Xiangxian did not answer, Hui Guifei also knew that this matter was of great importance, and she was busy sending people to inquire about which palace His Majesty was in, and rushed to report this matter to the court.

Zhou Xianyang and Rong Xiangxian sat in Fu Ning Palace for another meal, and she ran through the events of her last life in detail, and thought long and hard about the situation explained in Xian Yao’s letter.

In the letter, Xian Yao said that over the years, through En Ji’s people, he had already figured out the forces that Sang Yan was currently supported by the alliance, and he wanted the old lord to make a concerted effort to solve them.

But the old lord didn’t believe in this, didn’t believe that his good brother who had been valiant and loyal for decades would rebel and rebel, and even more so didn’t believe in the words of rebirth. He believed that this princess from the Kingdom Dynasty was provoking civil unrest in the Northern True Kingdom, causing their brothers, father and son to centrifuge. The State Lord then forcibly transferred all the forces around Enji. Only the cadre of guards from the Kingdom Dynasty that accompanied Hsien Yao when she married in the first place remained.

Otherwise, with Hsien Yao’s intelligence and the power of the Northern Truth Kingdom Lord, he would have long since annihilated that gang of plotters.

“Alas!” Rong Xiangmian was a bit exasperated, this was the reason why she didn’t easily confide the matter of her rebirth to people throughout her life. Other than Xian Yao and Xian Yang, the two people closest to her, the rest of the people simply wouldn’t believe her words.

After lunch, the Chongzheng Hall did indeed declare them over.

The Emperor was originally skeptical when he heard about this, but when he saw that the handwriting was indeed from Xian Yao’s hand, he was a bit shaken again.

At this moment, carefully towards the Rong Xiangmei asked again and Xian Yao’s agreement, see she is genuinely concerned about the comfort of Xian Yao, the behavior of the words frankly, has believed eight, only the emperor’s heart is still doubtful, he suddenly asked: “Xian Yang, what do you say to deal with it? Do you want to send troops north?”

Zhou Xian Yang faintly said, “Now, Xian Yao is in a foreign country, can’t explicitly raise troops, otherwise it will put her in danger. Moreover, in grassland combat, the supply lines are long, and once the food and provisions are not enough, the army is just sending her to her death. My dynasty cavalry in the northern true country’s territory, also simply does not occupy the advantage. In the end, this is currently just a civil unrest with the alternation of power in the Northern True Kingdom, we don’t need to take the initiative to get deeper into the quagmire.”

The emperor listened to his words, to determine that he did not make an article, use this to re-emerge in the war, embracing the intention of self-importance, and only then believed very much.

He then asked, “In your opinion, what should we do?”

Zhou Xian Yang said, “Xian Yao has bought us time, now that the Lord of Northern Truth is only seriously ill, there is still some time before Sang Yan rises up, we need to make full use of this.”

“How?”

“Follow Xian Yao’s plan and kill Sang Yan and the leaders of those seven tribes, unloading their ability to fight under their command.”
