Chapter 1054 Secrets in the Palace
It was clearly what Empress Ning said to Princess Liyang.
At this moment, what came out of Princess Liyang's mouth seemed to be said to Yu Youyao. It was Queen Ning who passed Princess Liyang's mouth and said it to Yu Youyao, who was sitting next to Princess Liyang at this moment.
Yu Youyao raised her eyes, met Princess Liyang's probing and scrutinizing gaze, and smiled softly: "That's quite innocent."
She couldn't tell whether it was a command or a sarcastic remark, which made Princess Liyang's heart tremble and she subconsciously turned away her eyes: "The queen mother said that it is natural for a man to have four wives and four concubines. You only saw the long-lasting love between the Yin family's descendants, but you didn't look at it.
Behind the long love, Emperor Gaozu and Empress Yide were of the same mind, but they still accepted Hua, who was the daughter of the commander-in-chief at the time, as their concubine."
"Not only that, Emperor Gaozu respected Hua as his legitimate wife. After Emperor Gaozu ascended the throne, he made his original wife his queen, and then he made Hua the concubine of Emperor Mu. The imperial concubine has never been seen in the past dynasties, but it was Emperor Gaozu who
It sets a precedent."
The blood all over Yu Youyao's body suddenly froze, and in her ears was Princess Liyang's deliberate voice with a hint of smile.
"You only saw that Emperor Mingzong only favored the eldest maid in front of him and did not enter the harem for many years. However, Emperor Mingzong had two sons and five daughters, none of whom were the sons of the eldest maid. However, the eldest maid drank Juzi just for this exclusive favor.
The medicine caused damage to the body and caused incurable diseases, and he died of the disease before he was thirty."
"Emperor Xianzong was even more weak and could only drink from one ladle. However, the queen was accused of being unworthy and jealous. She had not been pregnant for many years and almost lost the emperor Xianzong's heir. However, there are three types of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having an heir.
The Zhou Dynasty governed the country with filial piety. The emperor had no children and was disobedient because of his lack of virtue.
In violation of filial piety, the queen, in helplessness and despair, drugged Xianzong, asked the maid in front of her to wear her clothes, put on her usual makeup, sprinkled her usual powder, and personally delivered it to Xianzong.
His own phoenix couch caused a estrangement between the couple.
Until the queen died of illness, Emperor Xianzong followed her away."
Yu Youyao's heart stirred up a storm. These secrets in the palace were unknown to outsiders. They only knew that Emperor Cheng was the son of Emperor Xianzong and his queen, but they didn't know that there was such a secret in it.
She felt cold all over, and even her voice was a little impatient: "I'm very busy, I don't have time to listen to you tell these palace secrets."
"That's right," Princess Liyang smiled, not asking for trouble: "Princess Chang is so smart, she must be a sensible person. It was my turn to say more, but I was the one talking too much."
Yu Youyao saw the ambition in her eyes through her knowing and interesting face, and felt slightly suffocated in her heart.
Princess Liyang changed the topic: "King Wu Mu has also been on an expedition for a year, and Princess Chang must be very concerned about it. Now that the Liang thieves have conquered Jingzhao, King Wu Mu should have returned victoriously. He came here specially today so that he could call Princess Chang.
I know that King Wu Mu has other important matters and will be delayed for some time, but because of the seriousness of the matter, it is inconvenient to tell the princess. Princess, please relax, I think it will not be long before you will understand everything."
Yu Youyao found it funny. As Yin Huaixi's fiancée, she still had to tell others about Yin Huaixi. Who else knew more about Yin Huaixi than she did?
Is there even something she shouldn't know?
Princess Liyang's name is gentle and generous, but her attitude of showing off her power makes Yu Youyao very tired. She also knows in her heart that Princess Liyang seems to have said a lot, but in fact she has said nothing. She seems to have taken the initiative, but in fact she is bluffing, and even more so.
Clearly, this is just Princess Liyang's instigation method.
But it is this kind of specious provocation that is really clever.
Because, there are some things she will have to face sooner or later.
Princess Liyang just put things in front of her that she had always buried deep in her heart and did not dare to face.
Yu Youyao chuckled: "The Liang thieves captured Jingzhao and killed many people inside and outside the palace, but no news about Queen Ning came out. I think Queen Ning must have been hiding in the palace before the Liang thieves breached Jingzhao."
Somewhere in the palace, after all, it is deep in the inner courtyard of the palace, and there are many places to hide."
She had heard Yin Huaixi mention it earlier that there were many secret passages in the palace. As a queen, it was impossible for Queen Ning to not know about them at all.
The Liang thieves captured Jingzhao, and Princess Liyang did not panic. She was still in the mood to come and chat with her, talking about topics of gain and gain. This shows that she is quite aware of Queen Ning's situation.
"In this case, it is not difficult to guess that King Wu Mu used Queen Ning's control over the inner palace to make arrangements in the palace in advance before the Liang thieves captured Jingzhao. Once the Liang thieves captured Jingzhao,
He has become the turtle in the urn, and if the inside and outside cooperate, the Liang thieves will have nothing to fear."
"There are other important matters" should be referring to this.
Princess Liyang was surprised and was speechless for a long time.
Yu Youyao continued: "Queen Ning sent you to Xiangping to be protected by Yin Huaixi because of Yin Huaixi's sincerity to Queen Ning, and you are also a hostage, a chess piece used by Yin Huaixi to hold Queen Ning hostage. From this point of view, the relationship between Queen Ning and Yin Huaixi
Cooperation is nothing more than protecting you, and the rest is just your own calculations."
She thought it was funny, so she actually laughed.
It's just that the smile was a little pale.
It turns out that the so-called deep sisterly love of Princess Liyang is actually such a "deep sisterly love". No wonder she is willing to put aside her status and show her kindness to her repeatedly. Even though she was treated coldly, she doesn't seem to care and can still keep her peace.
There is no conflict with her.
What is this?
After being exposed, Princess Liyang looked a little unhappy: "King Wu Mu probably didn't tell Princess Chang that the late emperor had left an edict. This edict was related to King Zhou Li. It used to be in the hands of Ning Guogong. Now,
But it is in the hands of my queen mother."
There was a storm in Yu Youyao's heart.
Yin Huaixi had a close relationship with Empress Ning in the palace. She didn't hide it from her deliberately, but she didn't mention it deliberately, and she didn't deliberately explore it. After all, she would always know what she should know.
But she knew that their cooperation was by no means as simple as ordinary cooperation.
Princess Liyang smiled again: "The late emperor was ill and wanted to make the fifth son of the emperor the crown prince. However, because the fifth son of the emperor did not have a family to protect him, he was weak in the court, and because Concubine Hui was of a lowly origin, she has always been slandered by others.
Due to his illness, there were very few supporters in the court. The late emperor emphasized civility over military affairs and went on recuperation, which offended many generals. As a result, Concubine Hui died early and the emperor's fifth son was almost assassinated several times."
Yu Youyao understood clearly that the former fifth son of the emperor was now King Zhou Li.
The edict in the hands of Ning Guogong is probably the edict to establish the crown prince.
The ancestors of Duke Ning's Mansion had the merit of following the dragon. Like the Prince's Mansion of Zhenguo, it was a long-established honor passed down from the time of Emperor Gaozu. The old nobles were passed down from generation to generation. Their power in the court was huge, and the interests involved behind it were even greater.
Complex and deep-rooted, it often affects the whole body.
