Glancing at his son who was full of surprise, Gong Yuanhao played with the tea cup in his hand, his eyes flashing with amusement: "Did Yingjie not realize that there is something special between the Emperor and the Ninth Princess?"
Gong Yingjie thought for a while and shook his head.
"I don't blame you for not being able to see it. After all, the Ninth Princess was still young at that time. She has not been back to the palace in the past three years because of my illness. Something like that happened again tonight. I guess you don't have the heart to notice this."
Gong Yingjie looked a little unnatural after hearing this.
Does the implicit meaning in the father's words mean that he is young after all, has not been able to bear the weight of the mountain without changing his expression, and has a careful mind to look at the overall situation?
As if he didn't notice his son's strangeness, Gong Yuanhao said meaningfully: "Tonight, my father has carefully observed that all the princes and princesses almost do not look like the emperor. On the contrary, the ninth princess has a slight resemblance to the emperor in her facial features.
"
After listening to his father's words, Gong Yingjie's face was suddenly filled with shock and disbelief.
"Although the emperor has never appointed a queen, the concubines who can be favored by the emperor must be women with an innocent family background, and those princes and princesses who have been titled must have been approved by the emperor. You must know that the emperor is the ninth noble
How can the Fifth Lord allow his concubines to cheat on him? How can he allow the royal bloodline to be unclear? If it is said that the imperial concubine is cheating for status and power, it is possible that all the concubines in the harem are like this, and no one will believe it!"
"As a father, I am also confused about this." Gong Yuanhao said thoughtfully: "But as a father, I can be sure that the ninth princess is definitely the emperor's biological daughter!"
"Father, what do you mean, the ninth princess is the emperor's illegitimate daughter?"
Gong Yuanhao nodded and said: "It shouldn't be wrong!" Then he told the secret that was not a secret.
It turned out that Emperor Huiwen, who was still the crown prince at that time, fell in love at first sight with Qingyun's biological mother Mu Qingyi, and soon the two made a private commitment for life.
After returning to the palace, Emperor Huiwen knelt down and begged the late emperor for permission to marry Mu Qingyi as the crown prince. Unexpectedly, the late emperor refused because Mu Qingyi came from a humble background and was not his only son, a good match for the future emperor.
beg.
Emperor Huiwen knelt outside the Mingde Hall for three days and three nights, without eating or drinking, but still could not make the late emperor change his mind. In the end, Emperor Huiwen was willing to give up his glory and wealth and live in seclusion with Mu Qingyi.
The late emperor, who had an insight into the opportunity, ordered someone to put a love potion in his tea, forcing him to marry Lin Yufen, the daughter of the then Minister of Household Affairs and now the Prime Minister, as the crown prince.
Mu Qingyi was sad and disappointed and left without saying goodbye. Emperor Huiwen sent people to search for him for a year, but there was no trace of him. During that year, Emperor Huiwen was like a walking zombie, ignorant and ignorant all day long, and he ignored Lin Yuyan.
Later, after the death of the late emperor, Emperor Huiwen succeeded to the throne. Regardless of the objections of the courtiers, he insisted on leaving the post vacant and appointed Lin Yufen, who was supposed to be the queen, as a noble concubine. Although several concubines were appointed one after another, and they were all affected by the rain and dew, Emperor Huiwen
Still didn't give up looking for Mu Qingyi.
Half a year later, Concubine Rong gave birth to Emperor Huiwen's first heir, and Lin Yufeng suddenly found Mu Qingyi and took her back to the palace.
Emperor Huiwen Longyan was very happy and wanted to announce to the world that Mu Qingyi could be crowned queen. However, he did not want to be opposed by the ministers, and even took out the late emperor's decree: Mu Qingyi could never enter the palace and become Emperor Huiwen's concubine!
Mu Qingyi did not want the man he loved to be accused of being unfilial and could not be persuaded. In addition, the former emperor's younger brother Wen Wang's party once again caused trouble. Emperor Huiwen had no choice but to give up. Instead, he appointed Mu Qingyi as a close female official and commanded tens of thousands of people.
Thousands of favors in one!
Unexpectedly, the good times did not last long. Both mother and child died during the birth of Rong Bin. After investigation, the ginseng soup that Rong Bin took before contained a large amount of red pu root, which has the effect of breaking blood and aborting the baby. The finger was pointed at Mu Qingyi. She gave the century-old snow ginseng used to make the ginseng soup to Concubine Rong. No one should touch Concubine Rong's treasure. The maid who made the ginseng soup was a personal maid who had been serving Concubine Rong since she was a child. There was no reason to murder the two. A master, he used this to frame Mu Qingyi for his stupidity.
The evidence is conclusive and Mu Qingyi cannot prove her innocence.
The courtiers believed that murdering the emperor's heir was a heinous crime, and they wrote letters one after another asking Emperor Huiwen to severely punish Mu Qingyi.
Emperor Huiwen was so anxious and worried that he could not sleep or eat well.
The concubine, who was a sister to Mu Qingyi and was three months pregnant, knelt down and begged Emperor Huiwen for mercy, saying that she believed her sister was innocent and invited herself to stay with her in the prison until the truth came out.
Unfortunately, before Emperor Huiwen could find any strong evidence to clear up Mu Qingyi's grievances, she once again left without saying goodbye and was never seen again.
Three years later, Emperor Huiwen suddenly brought back a one-year-old adopted daughter, the ninth princess Mu Qingyun.
At this point, Gong Yuanhao paused, took a sip of tea and then said: "The emperor not only announced to the world that she should be named Princess Jiayi, but also gave her the honorific title of 'Nine Princesses', and also decreed that no one can see her She has to kneel down and bow down, otherwise she will be punished for deceiving the emperor!
Moreover, the name of the ninth princess is "Qingyun", which is the same as "Qingyun". The emperor's name also contains the word "cloud". The emperor has a deep love for Mu Qingyi, so he combined the two characters in their names to form the name of the ninth princess. It was indeed reasonable, so my father guessed that the emperor must have found Mu Qingyi and gave birth to the ninth princess. Otherwise, how could the emperor give her such a respected status? How could he care for her so carefully? Pampered a lot?
Tonight, a closer look at the Ninth Princess's resemblance to the Emperor's face confirmed her father's suspicion. However, after the Emperor brought the Ninth Princess back, he re-investigated the death of Concubine Rong thoroughly, killed many people, and completely blocked the news. Now we know There are very few people who remember what happened back then. I am afraid that Mu Qingyi is dead. The emperor was inevitably stimulated by the loss of his beloved, which led to many changes in his words and deeds."
"Since the emperor has completely blocked the news, how come my father knows so clearly?"
"As my father and the emperor, we are brothers, so we naturally know more about some things than ordinary people." A faint smile flashed across Gong Yuanhao's lips.
Looking at his father with a deep look in his eyes, Gong Yingjie thought for a while and said: "My son thinks that the imperial concubine was the most suspect in the death of Concubine Rong back then!"
"Oh?" Gong Yuanhao raised his eyebrows and looked at his son: "Please tell me and listen."
"First, according to my son's secret investigation, the imperial concubine looks virtuous and virtuous on the surface, but in fact she is a vicious and powerful woman. If she does not have any agenda, depending on the concubine's nature and the prime minister's influence in the court, even if she fights No matter how hard you die, you will never commit yourself to the emperor in that way.
Secondly, the emperor sent so many people to search for Mu Qingyi for a year but failed to find Mu Qingyi. However, after Concubine Rong became pregnant with the emperor's heir, the imperial concubine suddenly found her and took her back to the palace. This in itself is incredible. Is the imperial concubine too lucky, or is the Lin family more powerful than the royal family?
Third, although Mu Qingyi was favored by the emperor, she did not hold any real power because of the late emperor. Instead, the imperial concubine took charge of the affairs of the harem. It is obvious that the imperial concubine brought back Mu Qingyi just to please the emperor, and at the same time to To deal with Concubine Rong, after she had an heir, she used her power to bribe or coerce certain people to get rid of Concubine Rong's mother and son who might threaten her status, and then framed the blame on Mu Qingyi, who had taken away her favor. This was just one stone. The clever idea of three eagles.
The most important point is that Mu Qingyi came from a humble background, and the imperial concubine was a noble lady. The two of them had nothing to do with each other originally, but Mu Qingyi not only won the emperor's heart and all his love, but also took away the imperial concubine's position as queen.
, how can the noble concubine swallow such a sigh of relief? How can she fall in love with Mu Qingyi as a sister? "
"Your analysis makes sense!" Gong Yuanhao looked at his son with admiration and pride in his eyes: "The emperor also had doubts back then, but unfortunately no conclusive evidence has been found to prove that the concubine did it."
His father's praise made Gong Yingjie feel excited: "The imperial concubine is very scheming, not to mention that there is a cunning prime minister behind her. Since she set up this vicious conspiracy, she naturally did it cleanly and left no clues."
It will harm yourself."
"Okay, as long as you have an idea of this matter." Gong Yuanhao lowered his eyes and looked at the tea leaves floating in the tea cup, and said with a hint: "As for the royal bloodline, you can send someone to investigate carefully and secretly, maybe
There will be unexpected results!”
"Son, I understand!" Gong Yingjie hesitated for a moment and asked, "Should we be more careful with the imperial concubine and the prime minister?"
"Don't worry about it for now! I want to see what kind of tricks the father and daughter can come up with?"
"One more thing, the Ninth Princess has established a Purple Guard in response to the girl's disappearance case, which is responsible for the detection of major and important cases across the country. The Emperor has given the Ninth Princess full control. Father, we..."
"Really?" Gong Yuanhao stood up and walked to the window, looking in the direction of Luoxia Palace. There was silence in his eyes as deep as ink, and occasionally there was a hint of dark light.
At the same time, Lin Tao, who was ordered by the Prime Minister to look for Zhi Lan, disappeared behind the shadow of the carriage that the Prime Minister was sitting in. He cursed in a low voice that Zhi Lan was a disaster, and ordered his servants to look for him while he quietly
He hurried to his old friend's residence and prepared to enjoy the gentle countryside.
Unexpectedly, when he walked into the alley next to the old Xianghao's residence, two masked men in black suddenly appeared. Without saying a word, they punched and kicked him, and even accidentally injured his important parts.
, the pain suddenly made him faint...
At nine o'clock in the morning on the first day of the new year, Qingyun arrived at the secret base on time. Looking at the purple-clad guards in front of them who were wearing purple clothes and with blood-red manzhu and sahua patterns embroidered on the sleeves of their right arms, their energetic and calm faces,
She was very satisfied.
After arranging their respective next tasks, Qingyun led them to the newly built purple gate in the city with great momentum.
The subjects who came after hearing the news stood on both sides of the street, watching the purple-clad guards approaching slowly on their fine horses. They all had various weapons on their waists, like sharp swords hidden in scabbards for a long time.
The horse's sharpness is revealed as if it is about to be unsheathed, and the horse's pace is surprisingly uniform, which is both pleasing to the eye and exciting and awe-inspiring.
Everyone had indescribable feelings about the Ninth Princess at the front. After all, they were still frightened by the bloody killing last night that lasted almost all night. However, the Ninth Princess had always served the country and the people, and now she had established the Purple Guard to rectify the injustice and uphold justice.
, it’s really sung and respectable.
Taking in all the people's eyes, Qingyun's clear and beautiful face remained as calm as water.
She doesn't care about rumors or whether her reputation is damaged. She only cares about the safety of her family and friends. As long as they all live happily, she will have no regrets even if it costs her life!
Emperor Huiwen led his courtiers to wait at the gate, looking at his beloved daughter who came slowly, with a dignified look on his elegant face, but love and pride in his eyes.
Jumping off his horse, Qingyun walked up to Emperor Huiwen and saluted: "My dear father, long live my father!"
All the purple-clad guards also dismounted and knelt down and shouted loudly, and their loud and neat voices resounded through the sky.
"Okay, okay, okay!" He stretched out his hand to help his beloved daughter up. Emperor Huiwen ordered someone to hang the pure gold plaque of the Purple Clothes Gate inscribed by him on the door. Then he looked at the people in high spirits and said loudly: "From now on. , you are a member of the Purple Guards, I hope you can fulfill your duties loyally under the leadership of the Ninth Princess, eradicate traitors, promote righteousness, and will not let me and the Ninth Princess down!"
"Eradicate the traitors and promote righteousness!" The purple-clad guards shouted in unison, which immediately infected everyone present and made everyone's blood boil.
No one noticed Gong Yuanhao in the crowd, and there was a glimmer of unknown intention in his eyes.
The Prime Minister's face was expressionless, his eyes slightly lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After instructing the purple guards to familiarize themselves with their respective workplaces and quickly perform their duties, Qingyun took Emperor Huiwen's arm and came to her own workroom.
Naturally, all the court officials also returned to their respective mansions.
In the room, Emperor Huiwen looked at his beloved daughter who was sitting on the left side. Even though she had been retouched, she could still vaguely see the faint dark halo under her eyelids. He felt extremely distressed: "Jiu'er, don't force yourself to do anything. Don't forget that you and I are still there." Uncle Leng, we are a family, no matter what happens, we will bear it together!"
"Well, let's bear it together!" Holding the hands of Emperor Huiwen and Leng Yi tightly, Qingyun's eyes were filled with mist, and her heart was filled with emotion and warmth.
"By the way Jiu'er, it's time to tell you about the Dragon Guard clan."
Upon hearing this, Qingyun looked straight at Emperor Huiwen.
Although she had heard of the Guardian Dragon Clan in her previous life, she had only heard of their name but never seen their person, and her father had never mentioned it to her.
Later, her father suddenly passed away. When she heard the news and rushed to Mingde Palace in grief, her father had already passed away. She didn't even see her father for the last time. Then Uncle Leng was forced by Sima Chun again. If we go, we have no way of knowing.
She originally thought that her father had handed over the Dragon Guard clan to Sima Chun. After all, Sima Chun had married her at that time, and he would naturally become the successor. However, looking at Lin Yuemei's appearance, it was clear that her father had not done so.
After all, the father was guarding against Sima Chun. To be precise, he was guarding against the concubine and the prime minister behind Sima Chun, and it was also to protect her!
Following Emperor Huiwen's three high-fives, a figure walked up to the two of them, knelt down and said respectfully: "I see the Emperor, and see the Ninth Princess. Long live the Emperor, and the Ninth Princess is a thousand years old!"
"Pingsheng!"
When she saw that person's face clearly, Qingyun looked shocked and stunned: "It turns out to be you!"
