Chapter Thirteen The Collapse of Wealth

After Concubine Hui was grounded, she clamored to see the emperor every day. However, the emperor had to deal with government affairs, especially the thorough investigation of Qiao Zhenshan's case.

Queen Mother Zi spoke, telling her to shut up and seal the gate of Neon Palace.

Many days passed, and the emperor still did not come to see her.

The depressed Concubine Hui practiced flying over eaves and walking over walls in the Neon Palace.

On this day, Concubine Lin Shu went to Kangning Palace to pay her respects. She saw Empress Dowager Zi looking through some memorials with a depressed expression.

"Mother, your body is important. If you are worried about the two concubines, you don't have to worry about it. According to my concubine, I will leave it to Jingzhao Mansion to verify it, so that it can be impartial and the meridians can be clearly understood."

Empress Dowager Zi said: "Concubine Yi Shu, is Concubine Hui being ordered to enter the palace by someone else? She is so young..."

Concubine Lin Shu said: "Mother, I was accompanying the emperor that day. Concubine Xiao was just a little girl competing in the competition. Ahem, the emperor liked it... This little girl brought him into the palace."

Queen Mother Zi nodded, then shook her head. She asked Lin Shufei sinisterly: "Tell me, is it possible that Qiao Zhenshan had an affair with Bei Mo?"

"Ah!" Concubine Lin Shu was startled, and the tea cup in her hand spilled on the floor.

"Queen Mother, I don't have much knowledge. I don't understand this kind of government affairs... However, Concubine Hui is indeed from the Northern Desert."

Empress Dowager Zi said: "Yeah, the Ai family is also so anxious that they have messed up their plans. You are right, please ask the emperor to come over and report it to the Jingzhao Mansion for a strict investigation. The Ai family does not believe it and the investigation is unclear!"

In the Xianfu Palace, Concubine Qiao Xian's pregnancy was getting bigger and bigger. She had restrained herself enough, and she never saw the emperor again. After thinking about it again and again, Concubine Qiao Xian finally woke up.

She shuddered, and a strong sense of fear arose in her heart. Her handsome father might have fallen into the enemy's trap.

She was anxious and uneasy. On this cold winter day, she was a pregnant woman and could not leave the palace. Her father and brother were far away at the border, and they were probably not aware that someone had plotted against them. Concubine Qiao Xian was so angry that she suddenly said "cough" twice.

, a big mouthful of Yin Hong spurted out.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," the maid Chun'er cried in fright.

"Open the door, open the door quickly. Your Majesty is ill. Please call the doctor quickly."

Imperial Physician: "Your Majesty, Concubine Qiao Xian is seriously ill, the ministers are incompetent, the fetus of the dinosaur is damaged, and the medicine prepared by Weichen and Weichen is not taken by the empress."

When Emperor Ming Jing heard this, he was furious and rushed to Xianfu Palace.

Concubine Qiao Xian: "Your Majesty, I have something to say..."

Emperor Ming Jing said: "What are you doing? Why don't you take medicine when you have something to say? Huh, I'm very annoyed!"

Concubine Qiao Xian said: "Your Majesty, my father-in-law has absolutely nothing to do with Beimo. I dare to risk my life as a guarantee...ahem..."

As Concubine Qiao Xian spoke, another mouthful of blood spurted out.

Emperor Jing of the Ming Dynasty was in a hurry: "Imperial physician, hurry up and treat Concubine Xian. I will come back to the next court."

Emperor Ming Jing left the Xianfei Palace and came to the Neon Palace without stopping. It had been half a month since he had seen her, and Emperor Ming Jing felt resentful in his heart.

"Meet the Emperor", Chunya, the maid of Neon Palace, greeted the Holy Emperor.

Emperor Ming Jing shouted: "Where is your mother-in-law?"

With a "sudden" sound, Concubine Hui's smile floated down from the three-foot-high neon platform.

Emperor Ming Jing's eyes widened: "You are so brave!"

Concubine Hui said: "I am too bored, so I went to the neon stage to play for a while. Your Majesty, why do you want to lock me up? Wuwu...".

Emperor Ming Jing pretended to ignore her and turned around. Concubine Hui grabbed the emperor's lapel and cried for a while. The look of pear blossoms with rain made Emperor Ming Jing unable to help but feel soft-hearted.

Emperor Ming Jing: "Give me an honest explanation. You are not allowed to miss any link, otherwise you will go to Jingzhao Mansion to receive your punishment!"

Concubine Hui said: "Your Majesty, what I say is true. I grew up in the Northern Desert. I was weak when I was young. Later, after my father and my godfather Jin Lan became sworn brothers, I followed my godfather's arrangements when I was five years old.

Go to Tianshan Qimen to become a disciple of Fei Yunxiao.

Since then, I have been a disciple of the outer sect of Tianshan Mountain and have learned a lot of martial arts secrets. This time, I really came here because I was curious about the oiran convention."

Emperor Ming Jing said: "Then General Qiao is really your godfather?"

Concubine Hui cried: "I have never lied. Look, my jade pendant and this red sword were both given to me by my godfather."

Emperor Ming Jing took the sharpened red sword, his eyes were as cold as ice, and his handsome face was fierce and fierce. The sharpened red sword hilt was engraved with a big "Qiao" character.

Emperor Jing of the Ming Dynasty shouted angrily: "Come, please tell Li Yang, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, to come see me quickly."

After a while, Li Yang, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, received the order and went down to investigate the case of Qiao Zhenshan and Qiao Runan, the generals stationed at the border.

On December 5, Li Yang, the Yin of the Jingzhao Prefecture, led a group of troops to the border of the Northern Tang Dynasty. After many investigations, it was finally confirmed that Qiao Zhenshan was secretly communicating with Beimo. The emperor was so angry that he issued an order to punish Qiao Zhenshan for betraying the central government and the people, including

Qiao's lineage. The sinful daughter Qiao Wanxin was demoted to a commoner and relegated to the cold palace.

The next day, Concubine Qiao Xian of Xianfu Palace fainted and died after hearing the news. Xiao Dezi, the imperial steward, took the order and inspected Xianfu Palace with Han Yi, commander of the pro-army forces.

Poor Concubine Qiao Xian, who was pregnant with the dragon heir, could not escape her bad luck in the end.

When Concubine Qiao Xian woke up, she was already in the cold palace. This cold palace was really as cold as an ice cellar, and she couldn't help but tremble from the cold.

"Son, we have to hold on, mother can't help you. But we have to live, we are unjust!!"

On December 25, there was a huge earthquake in the harem, which destroyed several major families. Queen Nalan's father, Prime Minister Nalan, was unreasonably implicated.

Later, he was identified as Qiao Zhenshan's co-defendant. Someone provided a lot of clues, and each clue was conclusive evidence. Even Li Yang, the governor, felt that the case was progressing too smoothly, and it was finally found out that the personal relationship between Zuo Prime Minister Nalanbo and Qiao Zhenshan was very secret.

The royal code does not allow it, and the emperor angrily declares to the world: the criminal Nalanbo will have all his titles cut off, and the criminal Nalanbo family and others will be exiled to Yannan Pagoda for life. They will set off today without delay.

The emperor's grace is so great that he pardons all those who have committed capital crimes.

Since Concubine Qiao Xian was thrown into the cold palace, she complained every day, cried every day, and clamored to see the emperor, the queen mother, and the empress.

The guard of the cold palace, Dasheng, saw that she was heavily pregnant and suffered such bad luck. Therefore, Dasheng often took care of her quietly. It was not until she was about to give birth to a dragon seed that he found an opportunity to send a message to Emperor Ming Jing on behalf of Concubine Qiao Xian.

On a winter night, the cold wind blew and it hurt my ears. Just when the guard of the Leng Palace, Dasheng, was about to enter the Qinzheng Hall, he was knocked to the ground by the palm of a man in black. The cunning man in black kidnapped Dasheng to the sealed Xianfu.

After the palace, she was slapped twice.

Dasheng, who was beaten in a daze, had not figured out the situation yet. He stared blankly and saw the back of a man in black in front of him. He rubbed his eyes and the other person said coldly: "Do you still want to live? If you continue to meddle in other people's business,

, today is your death anniversary!”

The older student didn't dare to speak. He was so frightened that he lay on the ground and nodded like a quail.

The man in black sneered twice and disappeared into the night.

The next day, the news came from the Leng Palace that Concubine Xian had given birth to a prince and passed away. Concubine Qiao Xian, who had just turned twenty-five, went there. Emperor Ming Jing ordered that Concubine Qiao Xian be buried outside the imperial mausoleum with noble etiquette.

of a small mound.

The Empress Dowager Zi ordered her aunt, the former steward of Xianfu Palace, to bring the second prince back and temporarily raise him in Kangning Palace.

In Weiyang Palace, Queen Nalan learned that Concubine Qiao Xian had passed away, and felt deeply for her. She was seriously ill and was dying. The emperor ordered someone to bring the eldest prince to Zhaoyang Palace. Queen Nalan closed her eyes tightly, she hated the person in front of her so much.

Emperor Jing of the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Yaoming, the Minister of Rites, brainstormed and named their two sons according to the royal regulations: the eldest son Shangguan Qing and the second son Shangguan Zheng.

Many days passed, but Queen Nalan was still seriously ill. The two princes were entrusted to the care of Aunt Lan and Aunt Chen in the Imperial Academy.

Emperor Ming Jing said: "My two princes are young and weak. From now on, I ask my two nuns to take good care of them. I will not treat you badly!"

Aunt Lan said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will guarantee with my life that the two princes will grow up safely."

Heavy snow fell one after another in December. The Imperial Garden was silent.

The day before New Year's Eve, the emperor announced that he would hold a family banquet in Zixiang Pavilion in the harem. Yin'er, the personal maid of Empress Dowager Zi in Kangning Palace, brought various handmade snacks, and everyone worked hard to hang red palace lanterns and colorful silks in each palace.

On New Year's Eve, fireworks bloomed all over the sky in the Imperial Garden, which made people panic. In the huge harem, the Queen was ill, the Concubine Xian died, and Concubine Hui was missing... The hearts of three thousand beauties, more or less

Still immersed in the clouds.

By the Yilan Lake, Emperor Ming Jing was surrounded by Song Meiren, Yi Guiren, and Zhao Zhaoyi. But there was no smile on his face. Yi Guiren pointed to the fireworks in the sky and said sadly: The beauty of these fireworks is nothing like yours.

My fleeting time.

Song Meiren said: "Your Majesty, why don't you go back to the palace? I'm a little worried about the cold."

"Yeah, let's go back."

The slightly drunk Emperor Jing of the Ming Dynasty returned to the Xiafei Palace of the Song Dynasty with the help of several beauties.

In Weiyang Palace, Queen Nalan's hair was scattered, and her face was thin and pale. She stroked her delicate hands gently, and the faint sound of the piano, like weeping and complaining, slowly passed away, breaking the silent night and breaking some people's dreams...

"In a dimly lit place, those who have returned understand

Love, a dream reaches the sky

Affection,

Since ancient times, there is only so much passion and hatred

Obsession is difficult, the rain is thick under the parasol trees, and the time is passing by

Looking back for green onions

Love and hate are paid off by the wind and fire like songs... There is no trace of falling snow

Burning Incense, Twilight Drums and Bells

The slightly drunk Emperor Ming Jing suddenly woke up and hurriedly ran out...
