Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

This series of changes is really too much to keep up with. Emperor Hongjing once again showed everyone his ruthless tactics. Everyone thought that Duke Xu was also an old minister of two dynasties. The emperor would release him after he calmed down. Even if he lost the title of Duke, he could still keep his life. However, they never thought that Duke Xu could not bear the torture and hanged himself in the cell.

Emperor Hongjing personally went to the prison of Beizhenfusi, but there was no follow-up.

For a while, the capital was in a state of panic, and everyone was in danger. In the 33rd year of Hongjing, the vortex that had been hidden under the water finally revealed its bloody claws.

Duke Xu's body was taken back to the mansion, and even the funeral was not held in a big way. He was taken to the burial after the first seven days.

The Duke's Mansion, which was usually crowded with people, is now extremely cold, and there are very few people who come to mourn. The Duke's Mansion is in a panic, not knowing when the Duke's Mansion will be taken back, and the family of hundreds of people will end up homeless.

But there was no movement from above, as if they had completely forgotten what happened before. In addition, after much inquiry, it seemed that Emperor Hongjing did not intend to investigate the aftermath of Duke Xu's death, so some people were inevitably tempted.

So before Duke Xu's 37th day passed, another chaos occurred in Duke Xu's mansion. It was because Duke Xu had never appointed a prince, and his concubines fought for the title of Duke.

The mansion was in a mess, with the masters and servants forming their own factions, and even fighting often occurred.

Among them, the eldest concubine Xu Zhe was the most ruthless, and finally overwhelmed everyone and stood out. But just when he thought he could take the title of Duke steadily, the emperor suddenly issued an imperial decree, saying that the wife of Duke Xu was still alive, and he should appoint another heir to inherit the incense of Duke Xu.

The wife of Duke Xu, who had never appeared in public, returned to the mansion and took a child who was not even one year old from the Xu family's side branch and raised him under her knees.

Xu Yanru also came back with him. She is no longer the Princess of Jin. On the surface, she lost the position of Princess because of her father. In fact, she knows everything she should know.

Xu Yanru wanted to seek peace, but she couldn't get away from the Duke's Mansion. However, without Duke Xu, the mother and daughter seem to be happier. Raising the child and getting back all the anger they had suffered from Aunt Yulan, it seems that such a life is not bad.

All this is thanks to the King of Jin. The King of Jin promised before he went to find the Princess of Jin. This is why the Princess of Jin is willing to expose her shortcomings to help the King of Jin.

In fact, she is not only helping the King of Jin, but also to save herself.

At first, Xu Yanru did not believe what the King of Jin said, but the development of the situation was actually played out according to the King of Jin's expectations. When the King of Jin's people came to take her to the palace to meet the emperor, she saw the eunuchs of the Palace of Heavenly Purity on the side, and she knew that she must obey completely to do this well, and maybe she could find a place to breathe.

Facts have proved that the King of Jin always keeps his word.

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongjing said unhappily: "You are really patient!"

The King of Jin sneered, "Your son must be patient."

"You can come and tell me, I am not a tyrant who does not know right from wrong, I will make the decision for you!"

But the problem is that what the King of Jin said is useless, without a solid handle, who would believe a one-sided statement. Don't think that the Emperor Hongjing said well at this moment. If the King of Jin really came to him to complain, not to mention how the Emperor Hongjing would view this son, I am afraid that he would suspect that he did it on purpose.

Besides, these two things have always been unbearable experiences for the King of Jin. The King of Jin has never had the habit of poking his wounds for others to see. If it weren't for this opportunity, and he wanted to take the opportunity to accomplish something.

Unable to explain what Emperor Hongjing said, the Prince of Jin could only say his own: "My son is doing well now. I have two sons, and there will be more in the future."

Emperor Hongjing looked at the face below and muttered for a long time: "You are the same as your mother..."

The voice was very small, but it entered the ears of King Jin. His eyes moved and then returned to silence.

"Let me think about it, you go back first."

The Prince of Jin nodded and withdrew.

The emperor on the throne couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and Li Dequan and other eunuchs and palace maids who served in front of the emperor did not dare to disturb him. The palace was very quiet. It seemed that after a while, and it seemed that after a long time, Emperor Hongjing let out a long breath.

"I'm bored, go out for a walk."

Li Dequan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to serve, and Emperor Hongjing held his arm and walked out of the Qianqing Palace.

The long corridor and the towering red walls constitute the entire Forbidden City.

Emperor Hongjing walked aimlessly all the way, as if he had no goal.

Li Dequan suggested, "Your Majesty, why don't I have someone carry the dragon chariot?"

Emperor Hongjing waved his hand and said, "If you say you want to go for a walk, then go for a walk."

Li Dequan had no choice but to say yes.

After entering the East Six Palaces, Li Dequan wondered if His Majesty wanted to go to a certain lady's place to sit down, but when he saw the palace not far away, he felt a little uncomfortable.

That was the Jingren Palace.

Since that lady passed away, this palace has been empty. There are a total of twelve main seats in the East and West Six Palaces. Two years ago, a favored concubine did not want to be inferior to others, so she asked Emperor Hongjing several times but failed. She would rather let it be empty, and it will always be empty.

Emperor Hongjing also stopped and looked at the palace with red walls and green tiles from a distance. There were several white magnolias planted in the courtyard. When the flowers bloomed, the fragrance was everywhere.

"Forget it, it's rare that he opened his mouth."

Chapter 182

When the King of Jin came back from the palace, Yao Niang was sitting cross-legged on the big kang looking at the account book.

When she saw the King of Jin walk in, she didn't even raise her eyelids to him.

The red silk ladies came in to help King Jin wash up and change his clothes. Then King Jin sat down opposite Yao Niang. Hong Fei brought tea and the girls went down.

From beginning to end, Yaoniang didn't even say a word.

She was angry. She had been angry since she came back from the palace that day. She didn't do anything drastic. She just ignored King Jin and isolated him with her two sons. She has no alliance with the girls, and those girls don't dare to do it either.

Yao Niang was angry that King Jin knew the news in advance but didn't even say hello to her. Although she was very happy to be able to come back safely from Kunning Palace that day, but when she came back, she thought about it quietly and realized that he knew what would happen and still made up his mind to keep Huang Que behind.

Although her rationality told her that King Jin was right to do this, she still couldn't accept it emotionally. Prince Jin also explained to her that he knew the people behind the scenes would move, but he didn't know when. He was sure that no matter what happened, he could ensure that she was safe and sound, and the situation at that time was actually quite good. There was indeed a loss, but the loss was negligible.

There are thousands of truths to be said, but this time Yao Niang is not as considerate as before.

King Jin was drinking tea while Lady Yao looked at the account books without squinting.

"Doctor Liu Liang sent a letter saying that Mrs. Sun Meng's illness has been completely eradicated and she will be able to return to Beijing soon."

Now Yao Niang could no longer pretend to be cold, so she quickly put down her account book and asked, "Really? When will you come back?"

"tomorrow."

"That's great. During this period, Yueyue always asked me when her mother would come back. I couldn't find any excuse to hide it from her..." At this point, Yao Niang realized that she was actually with Prince Jin. After speaking, she wanted to change her face, but it was a bit too embarrassing for her, so she could only go to get the account book again and pretend to read it.

Prince Jin stretched out a hand, crossed the Kang table and squeezed her hand: "Are you still angry?"

In fact, Yao Niang was not angry for a long time. She was just lazy and didn't want to do work, so she pretended to be angry all the time.

"I'm not angry."

The problem is that every time Yaoniang tells the truth, King Jin doesn't believe her. Although he doesn't say anything, his eyes are always telling lies.

"If this happens again next time, I will tell you in advance."

Yao Niang waved her hand, but she couldn't get rid of King Jin no matter what. His hand was dry and warm, big and tight, and he wrapped her hand tightly.

She blushed and hummed, trying to get him to let go of his hand, but he wouldn't let go and started playing with it in his palm.

"Where's Huahua?" King Jin was very busy these days and forgot about Huahua. When he thought about it, he realized that the stupid cat hadn't bothered him for a long time.

"Huahua?" Yao Niang choked on her saliva, "Why did you mention it?"

Seeing the questioning look in King Jin's eyes, she added: "I heard that two wild cats came from nowhere in our house recently. Huahua always likes to sneak out to play with the wild cats. An Shi asked me if I want to take care of it, I think Since the wild cats would not hurt anyone, they had people prepare food for them at the North Point Woodshed. The two wild cats stayed there and Huahua went out to play with them for a while every day. She was often missing these days. Son."

"Don't be afraid that you are in love."

Yao Niang looked over in surprise, as if she was surprised to hear such words from King Jin's mouth. King Jin looked a little uncomfortable and coughed slightly: "Wild animals and livestock are in their prime period, and the flowers are not small anymore."

"Then what you mean is that the reason why Huahua went to play with wild cats is because -" 'Because' she couldn't continue, and Yao Niang's face became even redder. Immediately she became anxious: "If you don't tell me, I haven't thought of it. I used to have a neighbor who had a cat in his house. He couldn't keep it at home and would run outside every now and then. The key is that the cat is also strange. When he goes out, The trip lasted for more than ten days. During that time, the cat's family members would always come out to look for it. They always thought it was lost, but they would definitely go back after a few days. And not long after that, the cat would definitely become pregnant.

The more Yao Niang talked, the more her head hurt: "That cat is also very good at giving birth. It can give birth to four or five kittens in one litter, and it can be pregnant several times a year. Once, before the kittens grew up, the old cat became pregnant again. Then There were more than a dozen born in a year. The family had a headache and couldn't even send them to my house. My mother didn't ask for them, saying that there was only enough food at home to feed the cats. "
