Hall of Fame

Chapter 218 Princess Chuyang

"Princess."

"Please."

The sedan chair stopped in front of the palace gate, Cai Mu's gloomy face had not completely faded, and the voice he spoke to Gao Changle was still cold.

"The empress dowager is waiting in the hall."

Gao Changle lowered his eyes and nodded, and when he got off the sedan chair, he glanced at Li Shao indistinctly, then he was suddenly ignorant again, and walked towards the golden hall with his head held high.

The delicately carved long steps of white jade extend upwards from the rainbow light, leading directly to the high wall of Zhucheng, between the gates of the carved beams and painted buildings, pines and cypresses stand proudly on both sides along the way, and the mountains in the distance rise one after another, with incomparable grandeur.

Inside the Golden Palace.

Cai Baochuan is dressed in bright yellow palace attire, with black Shu brocade cuffs and necklines as a base. Clusters of noble peonies surround the phoenix, which symbolizes status.

After all, it is the person who controls the Northern Yan court, even if the Queen Mother Cai is just sitting upright like that, the indifference between her eyebrows carries a noble temperament without anger.

But behind Empress Dowager Cai, sitting on the dragon chair, was an immature young man with somewhat similar eyebrows to Zhou Hao, who was Tai'an brother of Beiyan Dynasty.

While Gao Changle was sizing up the people in the Jinluan Hall calmly, Cai Mu, together with Zhou Hao and others saluted the Empress Dowager Cai in unison.

"Seeing the Queen Mother, I am fortunate to have lived up to my mission, and have welcomed the eldest princess back safely."

Cai Mu knelt on the ground respectfully, with a little pride in his words.

Empress Dowager Cai raised her eyelids slightly, but her eyes fell on Zhou Hao, who pursed his lips and kept a low profile, "I'm back."

Cai Mu's expression froze.

Zhou Hao's gentle voice had already sounded, "Yes."

"Due to some accidents, I had to come back and report to the Queen Mother personally, and please...the Queen Mother forgive me."

Zhou Hao's address to Empress Dowager Cai was Weichen, not... Erchen.

Gao Changle's heart tightened.

Empress Dowager Cai didn't have much expression on her face, "No problem."

"Since you're back, let's take a good rest. The journey has been exhausting. The past few months have really worked hard for you."

Cai Mu's face turned ugly again.

Empress Dowager Cai slowly got up from the bench, and under the attention of everyone, she slowly walked in front of Gao Changle.

Great Wei gave Bei Yan absolute courtesy and decency, and similarly, Bei Yan could not be inferior.

"Great Wei Gao Changle, see Beiyan Queen Mother, Your Majesty."

"I wish the Empress Dowager a thousand years and the Emperor all the best."

Gao Changle pretended to be a blessing, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager Cai, "It's been hard work for the eldest princess to come from a long way, so this kind of politeness is too alienated."

"I don't know why, when Aijia looks at the eldest princess, he always feels a little close, as if he has a predestined relationship."

Empress Dowager Cai smiled calmly, and she didn't know if it was because she had been in a high position for so long that people couldn't tell whether she was really happy or just being polite when she spoke.

But these are not important.

What they want is nothing more than a show that will happen naturally.

Gao Changle smiled sweetly, and looked at the Empress Dowager Cai with a natural expression on his face, "Changle also feels very close to the Empress Dowager."

"As kind and loving as a mother."

"It's a pity that Changle's mother died early, and even her appearance is almost blurred." Gao Changle pretended to be lonely.

"Look at this child, he is so pitiful."

Empress Dowager Cai let out a sigh, and held Gao Changle's hand tightly, "The Ai family also lost a daughter."

Empress Dowager Cai was only thirty years old, and she was the successor of the former Emperor Beiyan. I heard that she entered the palace for joy, and the old emperor was already dying when she entered the palace.

Later, Empress Dowager Cai became pregnant, and I heard that she was a princess. However, I don't know who was in the way, but she was broken before she was three years old. So far, Empress Dowager Cai has no more children.

How could the ministers of the DPRK and China fail to understand the plans of the Empress Dowager Cai and Gao Changle after hearing what they said?
Moreover, the Ninth Prince had already sent back a letter, and the matter of accepting the adoptive daughter had already been revealed to the Empress Dowager Cai.

"Empress Dowager, please forgive me for taking the liberty."

"You lost your beloved daughter back then, and the eldest princess lost her mother in the early years. The two of you hit it off so well, and Dawei and Beiyan intend to befriend each other again. Why don't you get closer?"

The gray-haired old minister stepped forward slowly, and spoke with a red face.

"Oh?"

Empress Dowager Cai raised her eyebrows slightly, waiting with great interest for the veteran to continue talking.

"What does Master Jiang think?"

Jiang Chongming knelt in front of Cai Baochuan, "How about just accepting her as a righteous daughter?"

Cai Baochuan was older than Gao Changle in his teens, even if he really recognized her as a righteous daughter, it would not be impossible.

And one has lost his mother since he was a child, and the other has lost his daughter, so the two people who have lost their loved ones can just complement each other, which is a great thing.

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Cai smiled heartily, "Master Jiang is still smart, it's just..."

Empress Dowager Cai looked at Gao Changle hesitantly and expectantly.

Gao Changle directly knelt down in front of the Queen Mother Cai, "I send my respects to the Queen Mother."

Even for Zhou Hao, he had to kneel down.

However, Gao Changle felt that he was inexplicably at a disadvantage, so would he be inferior to Zhou Hao in the future?

I knew that he was making wishful thinking, but Gao Changle did not think about Zhou Hao's thoughts that he shouldn't have, and he is so presumptuous! ! !
"Ha ha……"

"well……"

When Empress Dowager Cai heard Gao Changle like this, her laughter became even more hearty, and she even leaned over to help Gao Changle up from the ground, and pulled Gao Changle up the steps all the way to Tai'an Emperor.

"Your Majesty, you heard everything."

"But you like this imperial lady of yours?"

Emperor Tai'an opened his big black grape-like eyes, and looked at Empress Dowager Cai ignorantly, "If you return to your mother, I will like it."

"Since I like it, how about giving your imperial sister a title?" Empress Dowager Cai said again.

"it is good."

Emperor Tai'an nodded his head in a childish voice. His mother had already said these words to himself when he was in court, and it was not difficult to recite them.

"It was hard work for the Great Princess Wei to come from afar, but now she is getting closer to my mother's queen. I think that my mother's descendant's royal sister died early, so I hereby make the decision to recognize the princess as a righteous daughter for my mother's mother. "

"Then..."

Emperor Tai'an frowned, and almost couldn't think of what he wanted to say, "I bestowed the eldest princess as the eldest princess of Chuyang."

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the empress dowager, and congratulations to Princess Chuyang."

As soon as Emperor Tai'an's words fell, the ministers in the court all knelt down on the ground and echoed.

But the expression of Yin Mingzhe, who also came from afar, changed slightly.

Great Wei and Beiyan are the two most powerful countries at the moment, and there are many frictions on the frontier, checking and balancing each other, but now.

Because of Gao Changle, the eldest princess of Chuyang, Dawei and Beiyan might become friends and join forces in a hundred years.

In this way, it is very unfavorable to the national conditions of other countries.

-

"What's the matter?"

He took turns on duty all night, and it was only at dawn the next day that He Qing found the opportunity to find Jian Jia.

"Since the master is working in front of the emperor, tell me clearly about your master's plan!"

"I'm just thinking about it, so let's start." He Qing said hastily, looking desperate.

Jian Jia was also extremely anxious, and after taking a deep breath, she said solemnly, "Your adoptive father, Director Song, belongs to your concubine!"

hiss--

He Qing gasped in surprise when he heard this.

"What did you say?"

"Your...your...your concubine's wife?"

"how can that be?"

Song Sheng has been clean and entered the palace since he was five years old, and has been with Emperor Jiayuan for more than 30 years. He is loyal to Emperor Jiayuan and has deep trust in Emperor Jiayuan.

How old is that Concubine Bai, let alone order Song Sheng to lurk by Emperor Jiayuan's side, even if she bought her, it wouldn't be worth it!
He Qing shook his head frantically.

His master is such a clever individual, he never took the stand and team of concubines in the harem, but only treated Emperor Jiayuan wholeheartedly.

Those concubines, concubines, princes and princesses in this palace, no matter how favored they are and how high their status is, can they still surpass Emperor Jiayuan?

If Song Sheng flattered Emperor Jiayuan, everything would be safe, not to mention Concubine Bai Gui, who used to be a concubine who was not of high status and did not fight for it.

"Did the fourth princess make a mistake!" He Qing originally wanted to say whether the fourth princess was joking, but felt that such an important matter could not be used as a joke, so he changed the words to make a mistake up.

"No, the fourth princess can't make a mistake!"

Jian Jia's attitude was firm, Gao Changhuan's expression was so dignified when he told himself about this matter, and the matter was of great importance, if Gao Changhuan was not sure in his heart, he would never dare to say it out, let alone order it around Jian Jia did it.

Strictly speaking, Song Sheng belongs to Yin Mingzhe, so he is equivalent to Bai Guifei's person in disguise, and obeys Bai Guifei's orders.

Gao Changhuan didn't say why, and Jian Jia didn't know why, but there was nothing wrong with it!

"The eldest princess is not around, the other princesses and princes in the palace are young, and the second prince is useless. Now is the best time to attack the emperor!"

Jian Jia firmly grabbed He Qing's sleeve, "If we can save the emperor at this time and catch Director Song's behavior, are we afraid that we will have no chance to stand up?"

Jian Jia was desperate and told He Qing everything she knew.

And He Qing's heart was already shocked like a stormy sea!

"You mean, the adoptive father wants to frame the emperor? No..."

"Bai Guifei wants to frame the emperor?"

"why?"

He Qing felt that he was going to be dumbfounded by Jian Jia.

These two people are now leaders in their respective identities, why do they want to attack the emperor?
What's the benefit of framing the emperor.

"I know this matter is difficult for you to accept for a while, but please think about it carefully, is there anything unusual about Director Song's recent whereabouts?"

Jian Jia frowned.

Seeing Jian Jia's determined expression, He Qing felt a lot of hesitation, "This..."

"This……"

It's a pity that after doing this several times, I couldn't come out with three, four, five, six.

During this period of time, Song Sheng was indeed a little strange, and he became more and more strict with the palace people, and Emperor Jiayuan was the only one who served him closely, and he never let others interfere.

The servants of the Qianyuan Palace only thought that Emperor Jiayuan was in a bad mood because the eldest princess left, so that the adoptive father was worried that the servants were not careful in doing things, which made Emperor Jiayuan even more irritable.

but……

Now that Jian Jia said that, it seemed really strange.

Emperor Jiayuan's food and drink had to be carefully inspected before being presented, but the adoptive father always had to check it again with a silver needle...

There is a limit to everything. If it exceeds this limit, it is overstepping. If it is lower than this limit, it is slack. Only when it is not too much or too little, it is just right.

This truth was given to him by his adoptive father, how could his adoptive father not know!
"The food that Manager Song handles is all tampered with. If this continues, the emperor's body will collapse rapidly in a short time. At that time, only the words in the palace will be kept. Bai Guifei alone..."

He Qing had a shocked expression on his face.

He seemed to understand a little bit.

No matter how favored Concubine Bai Gui is now, the Ninth Prince is not as noble as the Seventh Prince. With the Seventh Prince around, it is difficult for the Ninth Prince to be considered elegant.

If the eldest princess was traveling far away and the emperor was under control when there was no one in the harem, wouldn't the country easily fall on the head of the Ninth Prince?

When everyone came back to their senses, everything was settled, even if others suspected that something happened to the emperor's body on purpose, it was too late.

Jiangshan has changed owners, who would be so short-sighted to seek justice for the old owner?
Courting death is not!

"Excuse me, my slave, dare to ask Miss Jian Jia, how did you know this kind of thing?"

He Qing's heart has actually been moved by Jian Jia's words, so there is only the last layer of defense left and he dare not believe it easily!
"You know, when the eldest princess was leaving, she deliberately ordered someone to take good care of her in front of the emperor. Even the hidden guards of the East Factory were in the dark. It's too risky for Director Song and Concubine Bai to do this. !"

"Poisoning is impossible without being found out!"

"Bai Guifei is a master of medicine!"

Jian Jia didn't doubt He Qing's question in the slightest, "Our fourth princess accidentally offended Concubine Bai Gui, or found out the clues of Concubine Bai by chance. Look, our fourth princess's fine voice became hoarse. Isn't it the best proof that a good doctor has no results?"

"That poison can't be found out!"

"Unless someone steals it and gets it!!!"

Jian Jia could only feel her heart beating non-stop, "Intercept all the food, clothing, and use of the emperor that Director Song has taken over, and then ask the imperial physician to interrogate him!"

"This matter, you have to go through the clear road in front of the emperor, otherwise it will be difficult."

This is why Jian Jia asked He Qing if he would like to take a gamble!

I said hello in front of Emperor Jiayuan beforehand, and it was done, so naturally, He Qing became the hero who saved Emperor Jiayuan's life, but if he lost the bet, not only Emperor Jiayuan would reprimand him, but even Song Sheng would wait for the opportunity revenge!
