First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 384 Husband and wife abuse scum (two more)

   "It turns out that Princess Jing is also on the imperial edict." Gu Jiao suddenly realized, "No wonder she is going to steal the imperial edict and hide it."

  Xiao Liulang hummed: "One is to save his life, and the other is to hold the last hole card."

Gu Jiao put her cheeks in her hands, and said thoughtfully: "Auntie will not be threatened by anyone, even if she really puts out the imperial edict and said,'If you don't agree to my terms, I will announce the imperial edict and perish it with you. 'My aunt won't give in either. So..."

  Xiao Liulang nodded: "So the most dangerous step for her is to die with her aunt."

  Gu Jiao slapped on the table: "This bad woman!"

  Xiao Liulang looked at her frowning hair, although a little bit shouldn't, but a smile flashed across his eyes.

  Of course, his smile disappeared when he thought of his aunt's situation.

  Seeing the imperial edict was something that happened when he was a child, and it was not something he cared very much about at the time, so that memory has long been submerged in his memory.

  If it hadn't been for Gu Chengfeng to mention it this time, he might not have read that memory for the rest of his life.

   "You must steal the imperial edict back." Don't let the Jing Tai Concubine hold such a time bomb in her hand. Gu Jiao doesn't care if Concubine Jing is dead, but her aunt can't accompany her to hell.

  Xiao Liulang said: "Before that, don't push her too quickly, lest she burns with her aunt on impulse."

   "Hmm." Gu Jiao finally understood what she meant by her confidant's note saying don't act rashly. With the current situation of Princess Yijing, they really weren't suitable to stimulate her anymore.

  This woman is crazy, who knows what she will do when she is angry.

   "Sigh." Gu Jiao sighed.

  She put her hands on the table with her hands folded, and her little head was slumped and placed on the back of her hands.

  Xiao Liulang couldn't hold back again, and raised his hand to touch her little furry head: "I won't wait too long."

   "Hmm!" Gu Jiao nodded.

  She believed him.

  Trust so much that you don’t have to ask about his plan.

   "Speaking..." She straightened up in thought.

  Xiao Liulang withdrew his hand calmly, the soft touch of her hair still remained in the palm of his hand, and he gently rubbed his fingertips.

  Gu Jiao didn’t notice his memorable little gesture. She looked at him in a puzzled way: “What kind of person is Emperor Xian? Why does he want his aunt and Concubine Jing to bury him?”

  Xiao Liulang paused. His first reaction was to go to the mother and keep the children. After thinking about it carefully, he was not sure if this was the case.

  It is difficult for him to describe what kind of emperor the first emperor was. When he was born, the first emperor had already passed away. All the knowledge about the first emperor came from the first emperor's literature and some rumors he heard.

   But judging from the series of arrangements before the emperor's death, he was a man of means.

   To let Queen Mother Zhuang and Concubine Jing be buried may be because they saw the influence of these two on the new emperor, worried about the dictatorship of foreign relatives, the power of the court, or what other plans the first emperor had.

  The emperor’s mind is deeper than the sea, who can guess it?

  For example, he couldn’t understand why Princess Xinyang also had Dragon Shadow Guard in his hands?

  Finally, Xiao Liulang had to say to Gu Jiao: “One day, the truth will come to light.”

  He didn't say that he didn't know, he certainly didn't know, but if she wanted to know, he went to find out the answer.

  Xiao Liulang looked at the endless night: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

  Gu Jiao nodded: "Well, then I will see you again tomorrow night."

  Xiao Liulang looked at her and did not refuse: "Okay."

  After Gu Jiao left, Xiao Liulang turned off the light and lay on the slightly thin bed. Gu Jiao asked Gu Chengfeng to bring him the dim sum box quietly on the bedside table.

  The night is quiet, but his thoughts are not peaceful.

  Someone dashed in his mind disobediently, and it took him a lot of effort to regain the initiative in his mind.

  He began to think about the imperial decree.

  The imperial edict was left by the first emperor, and even today's sage cannot fail to obey it. Although the queen mother Zhuang and the dealer are powerful, they have not yet reached the point where they can compete with the emperor’s legacy.

  As a harem woman, Queen Mother Zhuang has done too many things that the world cannot tolerate, and she bears the brunt of it.

The reason why the old tribes of the first emperors did not attack the Empress Dowager was that the Empress Dowager really had the means to suppress them, and the other was that the first emperor was unable to go to court due to serious illness during the last days of the reign of the first emperor. The Liu family was ambitious again, and the emperor had to come. One move to drive away tigers and wolves-appointed the then virtuous to supervise the country.

  The emperor had no time to withdraw his virtuous and virtuous state power, and then passed away.

  Xiao Liulang guessed that the first emperor might think that anyway, he left the imperial decree for the burial of the virtuous, and it doesn't matter whether the power is withdrawn or not.

 It's a pity that the imperial edict was stolen by Princess Jing.

After the virtuous emperor, the first emperor helped to take the position of the superintendent. After the new emperor became the throne, she continued to listen to politics and did not arouse the former emperor's disgust.

   But as soon as this imperial decree comes out, the old tribe of the first emperor will bite the Queen Mother into the tomb like a hungry wolf.

  So Gu Jiao was right. The imperial edict could not continue to fall into the hands of Princess Jing, and she had to find a way to steal it back and destroy it.

  It's just that Dragon Shadow Guard is there, it's hard for them to succeed.

   "Long Yingwei." In the darkness, Xiao Liulang squinted slightly.

  The next night, Gu Jiaoguo really came, and brought Xiao Liulang’s favorite spicy beef, skewers with bamboo skewers and put them in a pot, and the two sat in the room to make skewers.

   "I will come tomorrow?" Gu Jiao asked him before leaving.

  Xiao Liulang laughed lowly: "Tomorrow the exam is over, I can go back, no need to come."

  Gu Jiao: "Oh."

  She really wants to come.

  It was fun to play secretly with him in the middle of the night.

  Xiao Liulang is the invigilator, does not participate in the examination papers, after the examination, he packed his bags and left the Gongyuan.

  It’s not too late. He first went to the Hanlin Academy to deal with the official business under these three sunsets.

Ever since he had a head-on confrontation with Mrs. Zhuang outside the Hanlin Academy, not many people here at the Hanlin Academy dared to find his fault clearly. Everyone knows that he was going to invigorate the exam, not just for fun, and he didn’t dare to assign him too much. Official duties are nothing more than the sorting out of some classics.

  He spent an afternoon finishing the scriptures, and then sent them to Han Xueshi.

  When he came back from Bachelor Han’s office, he ran into Ning Zhiyuan probing his head near his office.

   "Something?" He stepped forward and asked.

  Ning Zhiyuan turned around when he heard the words, and said, "I just heard that you are back, how about it? Is the invigilation going well?"

  Xiao Liulang thought of the scene of smashing with someone at night, and couldn't help but say, "It went well."

  Ning Zhiyuan gave him a weird look: "Your kid...has an abnormal smile."

  Xiao Liulang lowered the corners of his lips, curled a smile between his eyebrows, and said sternly: "You came to me just to say hello?"

   Mentioned the business, Ning Zhiyuan did not continue to joke with him: "That..."

Ning Zhiyuan scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I brought my family to the capital, but your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law asked me to take my friends to sit at home. I have no friends in the capital, so I will ask you... Can't be free..."

  When he asked this, he was actually very nervous, not to mention that he and Xiao Liulang are the top three in the same discipline, their identities and fortunes are actually quite different.

  He can be regarded as the emperor's favorite person, but the emperor treats him differently from Xiao Liulang after all. Of course, the main reason is that the abilities of the two are different. He has self-knowledge and does not have any jealousy.

   is... a little inferior.

  Xiao Liulang not only won the emperor's appreciation, but also heard that he had a good relationship with the queen mother, otherwise he couldn't suppress Taifu Zhuang.

  Is such a person making friends with himself, is he climbing high on his own?

  Not to mention that he has no money, the house is rented, and the family is very shabby.

  Thinking about this, Ning Zhiyuan didn’t wait for Xiao Liulang to answer, and hurriedly refused for Xiao Liulang: “But the Hanlin Academy has been very busy recently, and neither of us should be free...”

   "Good." Xiao Liulang said.

   "Huh?" Ning Zhiyuan was taken aback.

  Xiao Liulang said: "I will go back and ask when my lady is free, and visit with her."

  Ning Zhiyuan was dumbfounded: "Ah..."

  This, this, this is promised?

  ...

  Gu Jiao came to the Gongyuan to meet with Xiao Liulang twice. Xiao Liulang learned some of the current situation from Gu Jiao, and he decided to go to the palace.

   "Your Majesty, Xiao Xiu writes to see you."

  In the imperial study room, Wei Gonggong whispered a report.

  The emperor paused after reviewing the memorial. He pressed his tired head and said, "He hasn't come for a few days."

  Wei Gonggong hurriedly said: "Xiao Xiu wrote and went to the Gongyuan to invigilate for three days."

"Ah, the six-part examination." The emperor almost forgot about it. The six-part examination is conducted every year, usually in June. This year, due to the visit of Liang Guo's envoy, the palace examination was postponed for one month, let alone the six-part examination. .

  This kind of assessment is not attended by all officials. It is just a random test, which is presided over by the Hanlin Academy, but it is also very strict.

   "Let him in." The emperor said.

   "Yes." Wei Gonggong went to the door and led the people in.

  Xiao Liulang bowed his hands and bowed: "Weichen has seen your Majesty."

  The emperor picked up a memorial and said lightly: "How come I have time to come here today?"

  Xiao Liulang arched his hands and said: "Weichen has something to play."

   "What's the matter?" the emperor asked.

  Xiao Liulang said sternly: "On the first day of the Weichen invigilating at the Gongyuan, someone put arsenic on Weichen’s dinner."

  The emperor frowned.

   "Weichen originally left the evidence of the crime, but the weather is too hot, and the evidence has been broken." That said, Xiao Liulang still took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

  Duke Wei stepped forward and took the small porcelain bottle, unplugged the bottle, a smell of rotten green onion puffed up his nose, and Duke Wei hurriedly covered his nose.

  It's all like this, it's not easy to get rid of the emperor's eyes.

  The emperor asked: "How do you know that it is Fenshuang?"

  Naturally, Xiao Liulang would not say that Gu Jiao had been to the Gongyuan. It was a capital crime to sneak into the Gongyuan. Even if your Majesty would not cure Gu Jiao’s crime, why bother to consume Gu Jiao’s goodwill in your Majesty’s mind?

  Xiao Liulang said: "Your Majesty forgot that Jiaojiao is a doctor? When there were rats in the country, Jiaojiao used arsenic to make some rat medicine, and the minister even beat her."

  This is a lie.

  Dangerous goods, Gu Jiao will not let Xiao Liulang contaminate.

  But Xiao Liulang has properly learned the official black school of old Jijiu, and he doesn't change his face.

  Xiao Liulang continued: "The man pretended to be a guard and gave me food. I saw him face to face, not the guard in the morning and noon, so I kept a mindful heart. Only then did I find that the food was awkward."

  The emperor frowned suspiciously: "Who would go to the Gongyuan to attack you?"

  Gong Yuan is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for ordinary assassins to sneak in, let alone poison Xiao Liulang’s food.

  The emperor fixedly looked at Xiao Liulang: "I have never heard of such news from the Gongyuan."

  Xiao Liulang met his scrutiny and looked up without evasiveness: “Weichen did not say anything. Weichen didn’t know who the murderer was, and he didn’t dare to make things happen, so that the murderer would jump over the wall in a hurry.”

  The emperor thought this was the reason. He looked at Xiao Liulang and said, "You go back first. I will find out about this matter."

  Xiao Liulang handed over: "Weichen retired."

  Be cautious, after Xiao Liulang left, the emperor called the doctor and asked him to check the green onions.

  The chopped green onion was picked out of the egg drop soup, and it has long gone bad, but the imperial doctor still detected the arsenic above it.

   "Return to your Majesty, it is Pishuang, that's right." said the imperial doctor.

  The emperor’s eyes became cold: "I see, you step back."

   That night, the emperor called the chief guard of Gongyuan and asked him if he could find suspicious people in Gongyuan.

  The guard said: "On the first day of the exam, it seemed that someone sneaked in, knocked out one of the guards, and stripped off the guard’s clothes. Unfortunately, the subordinates were incompetent and failed to catch him."

  This is in line with Xiao Liulang's rhetoric.

  The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

  I never thought that the Gongyuan poisoning case had never been revealed, and another incident happened on Xiao Liulang the next day.

   "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is not good! Miss Gu and Xiao Xiuzhuan are injured!" Wei Gonggong rushed into the Imperial Study Room in a hurry.

  The emperor slapped down the folder in his hand: "Where are the people?"

  Gonggong Wei worried: "In the medical hall...Miaoshoutang...it was the slave who saw Gonggong Qin anxiously leaving the palace. He asked what was wrong, and then Gonggong Qin told the slaves that there was an accident with Miss Gu and Xiao Xiu!"

  Xiao Liulang was the emperor's favorite courtier, not to mention Gu Jiao, her weight in the emperor's mind was almost the same as that of his children.

  The emperor didn’t care about the criticism, so he changed into a uniform and rushed to the hospital with Wei Gonggong.

In the wing room of the small courtyard, Gu Jiao was lying on the bed unconscious, Xiao Liulang guarded by the bed, his left hand was wrapped in gauze and hung around his neck, and the corners of his mouth and forehead were bruised.

  This is the first time the emperor truly saw the two injured in front of him. He stayed for a while: "...what happened?"

   "Your Majesty." Xiao Liulang stood up, trying to bow to him, but looked at his gauze arm with embarrassment, and bowed instead.

"No need to be polite." The emperor raised his hand and came to the bed. He looked at Gu Jiao, who was unconscious with his eyes closed. He swept to the side a pile of blood-stained clothes in the basket, his breath tightened. What happened to the little genius?"

  Xiao Liulang said in a low mood: "Doctor Song has seen it and said she lost too much blood..."

  The emperor’s eyes cooled down, and his gaze fell on Xiao Liulang’s arm: "What's wrong with you?"

  Xiao Liulang lowered his eyes and said, "Weichen is fine, but his arm is dislocated and it has been connected."

  Is it okay to dislocate the arm? How can a weak scholar withstand this kind of pain?

  The emperor’s face became difficult to look: "What the **** is going on? Where did you get hurt?"

Xiao Liulang said with a sad look: "It was near Chang'an Avenue. The Weichen met an assassin on his way home from the Hanlin Academy. It happened that Jiaojiao came to pick me up at the Hanlin Academy, so she fought with the assassin. The enemy was seriously injured. Later Jiaojiao used a hidden weapon to destroy the mask on the assassin's face, and the assassin escaped."

  The emperor asked: "Can you see what the assassin looks like?"

  Xiao Liulang shook his head: "It was too messy at the time. Weichen did not see his facial features clearly, only remembered that he had a tattoo on his face..."

  The emperor hurriedly said: "What tattoo?"

   "It's like...like..." Xiao Liulang tried hard to recall, and said, "Forget it, maybe Weichen misunderstood."

  The emperor frowned and said, "But it doesn't matter if you say it."

  Xiao Liulang hesitated for a moment, and said, "Like a tortoise, but also like a snake."

  Turtle body and snake tail.

  Xuanwu.

  Tattoos of Dragon Shadow Guard!

  Dragon Shadow Guard is a dead warrior, but not every dead warrior is qualified to become a dragon shadow guard. The Emperor Xian bought a large number of dead warriors from Yan Kingdom, and they were already strong enough when they bought them back. However, the first emperor was not satisfied with their strength.

  Invited experts to train the dead soldiers with all their strength on this basis. In the end, more than a hundred dead soldiers only produced more than a dozen Dragon Shadow Guards.

  Some Dragon Shadow Guards died during the mission, and the youngest Dragon Shadow Guard was left by the first emperor.

  The first time he saw them, he was shocked by the basalt tattoos on their faces. It is said that this was caused by the emperor to distinguish Long Yingwei from ordinary dead men.

  In the world, no one else has such a tattoo.

  The emperor’s mood became complicated in an instant: "Are you sure you read it right?"

  Xiao Liulang thought for a while: "Weichen...not sure. Weichen just glanced hurriedly at that time, and it might be a mistake."

  The emperor closed his eyes.

   should be wrong.

  Long Shadow Guard is now in the hands of Concubine Jing, how could she send someone to assassinate Xiao Liulang?

  Although she does not want to be close to the Queen Mother of Zhuang, Strictly speaking, Xiao Liulang is not a member of the Empress Dowager's line. Xiao Liulang is a courtier drawn by her hand, a student of the emperor, and a person of her own!

  Jing mother concubine has no reason to deal with Xiao Liulang.

  The emperor waited in the room for a while. Doctor Song came over and gave Gu Jiao a change of medicine. Gu Jiao never woke up.

  The emperor watched a basin of blood coming out from the back of the screen, and he couldn't bear to look down.

  On the way back to the palace, he said nothing.

   "Your Majesty." Wei Gonggong wanted to remind him that the palace was here.

  The emperor suddenly sighed: "Jing Mu Consort will not do this, right?"

   "Huh?" Wei Gonggong was startled.

what's the situation?

  Does your majesty suspect that the person who assassinated Xiao Liulang was sent by the empress?

  Long Yingwei wears masks on weekdays, and Duke Wei did not know that they had tattoos on their faces.

   "It must not be her." I don't know if the emperor said this to Wei Gonggong or to himself.

  Where can Father Wei dare to answer?

  This is your mother and son's business, I can't mix it up.

  He remembered that His Majesty and the Queen Mother seemed to go further and further away in the same way. It seemed that His Majesty did not get so close to the Queen Mother overnight. Gradually, His Majesty began to quarrel with the Queen Mother, and all trivial matters were counted on the Queen Mother’s head.

  Sometimes he was quite unjust for the Queen Mother.

  Feng Shui turns around, and now it’s the turn of Princess Jing?

  Your Majesty, are you suffering from a disease that irritates your mother?

   "Cough!"

  Duke Wei covered his mouth before he scooped it up.

  The emperor got out of the carriage.

  His thoughts were a little confused, and there were two voices in his mind. One voice told him that Xiao Liulang would not lie to him, and the other voice told him that Concubine Jing would not betray him.

   "Who?" Grandpa Wei suddenly said.

   "What's wrong?" the emperor asked.

  Duke Wei pointed to the end of the imperial garden and said, "The minion just saw a sneaky figure going over there."

   Isn’t that the direction of Gongfang?

  Perhaps someone is anxious.

  The emperor didn’t look at a person to show respect, but for some reason, he was always a little worried. He just took a step and then walked in the direction of Gong Fang.

  In the end, it was the Gongfang. The emperor didn't actually walk in, but watched quietly not far away.

Unexpectedly, he heard a familiar voice.

   "What? You, you missed it again? You are still Dragon Shadow Guard, how can you not even kill a scholar who has no power to bind a chicken!"

  This is...the voice of Concubine Jing’s mother!

  Jing mother concubine said, and missed again.

  Jing mother concubine also said that the scholar who has no power to bind a chicken...

  I must have heard it wrong...

  The voice continued.

   "Does your majesty know that you are such a trash? At the beginning, your majesty gave you to me, but he didn't let you eat and wait to die! It was just to kill a little lame, and not a martial arts master! You Long Yingwei are so capable!"

   "I knew, I might as well buy a few quack killers! It's easier than you to do things!"

  The emperor wanted to lie to himself that the voice did not come from Concubine Jingmu.

  He only felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet and rushed to the top of his head!

  　As soon as the beauty shots, she knows if there is any.

Happy Christmas Eve.
