Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 46 Unexpected visitor
That night, Ming Xuanyu went to sleep in the Fragrant Pavilion of Concubine De.

Xinyi went back to the room to rest, and just after lying down for a while, she heard a knock on the door, she put on her coat and got out of bed to ask, it turned out that it was someone sent by Nian Gonggong.

When she opened the door, she was stunned. It was He Shanggong who was next to the queen!

He Shanggong is an official of the third grade, at the same level as Tan Shanggong, but much younger.

Opening the door and asking He Shanggong to sit down, Xinyi noticed that He Shanggong was wearing the clothes of an ordinary court lady.

"I'm looking for you tonight, it's urgent!" He Shanggong whispered, Xinyi asked what was the matter, He Shanggong told the queen about adopting King Mu's son, and Xinyi was shocked.

"The empress wants to do this without telling the emperor, you have to find a way to let the emperor know now, let's see what the emperor's plan is!" He Shanggong said.

Xinyi has never known who the master behind her is, so why not take this opportunity to find out what He Shanggong is saying?

"Your Excellency, do you want me to spoil this matter, or help the Empress?" Xinyi asked.

As soon as He Shanggong heard this, he knew what Xinyi was thinking, and said with a faint smile: "You just need to tell the emperor about this matter, and say that this matter is planned by Concubine Shu and the people in Dingguo's mansion. , let’s see what the emperor will do. Don’t say anything else.”

Xinyi took the order, and soon He Shanggong left.

Xinyi closed the door and lay back on the bed. In the middle of the night, Qiaoer came to change the charcoal fire in the room and woke Xinyi up.

She stared at Qiao'er and asked in horror, "What's wrong with your face?"

Qiaoer told her something, and she immediately sat on the stool in shock.

"What about that thing? Did you bring it?" she asked.

"Bring it, but the servants dare not use it anymore!" Qiao'er said with tears.

Xinyi gently wiped the tears on Qiao'er's face, and said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the imperial doctor on duty in the garden to see you. But, this matter must not be revealed! Otherwise, who will we I can't even eat and walk around!"

Qiaoer nodded with tears in her eyes, and Xinyi sent her back to the house.

Lying back on the bed, she couldn't fall asleep. How could it be like this tonight?
An inexplicable He Shanggong came, let alone that event!
According to the rules of the organization, if it is not an emergency, the undercover agents who are not on the same line cannot meet.

He Shanggong came late at night, it seems that the queen's matter is not trivial!
But, thinking about Qiao'er again, did Concubine Zhen deliberately want to harm me?Or is she ignorant?

Originally, he wanted to seek refuge with Concubine Zhen, but this incident happened at this time. In fact, this incident had happened a long time ago, but he didn't pay attention to it.

Now that we have reached this point, we can't hide it, so we must find a way to deal with it.

But what should we do?
She tossed and turned in bed and sat until dawn.

It was almost Si Shi when Ming Xuanyu came back from Fuyu Pavilion.

Xinyi was thinking about that matter, judging from He Shanggong's tone, she should tell about the queen quickly.

Seeing that he is in a good mood, let's talk.

"Your Majesty, this servant has heard a rumor, do you want to hear it?" She said with a smile.

He was taken aback by her sudden change, not only him, Zhang De was also puzzled.

When did this girl become so cute?

Ming Xuanyu put down the book, and said casually: "Tell me about it!"

"Your Majesty, I heard that Prince Mu is more handsome than Pan An, and he is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I wonder if this is the case?" She asked with a smile.

He nodded, and replied: "That's right!" But he deliberately said: "Didn't you still say that you were thinking about King Yu? Why are you talking about King Mu now? Could it be that the two emperors Uncle, are you all into it? Don’t be too greedy!"

Zhang De covered his mouth and laughed in a low voice, but Xinyi also laughed and said: "Your servant is just a little maid, how dare you have such thoughts? I just heard some rumors and thought it was fun to say it. If the emperor doesn't want to listen, it's fine." That's it, the servants don't say anything!"

Ming Xuanyu and Zhang De were stunned to see her showing a cute look like a child.

The two held back their laughter, Ming Xuanyu said: "Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore, you go on, go on!"

She coughed lightly, and said: "I heard that Prince Mu's eldest son is also handsome, not inferior to his father at all!"

Ming Xuanyu nodded in agreement.

"However, servant girl heard people say that the son of Princess Mu is really a dragon and phoenix among men! It is said that he is very similar to Lord Sejong at a young age!" Xinyi said, observing Ming from the corner of her eye Xuan Yu's expression.

But he didn't see any displeasure. She knew that the words below were really fatal.

"If there is a fortune teller, I will meet the little prince, saying that he will have the spirit of Han Wu in the future!" She said slowly, "I don't know how the emperor thinks about this matter?"

Ming Xuanyu picked up the book, and replied lightly: "The words of the quack warlocks are just the words of the occasion! How can I care about those?"

She looked up at him, and asked again: "Then, what does the emperor mean, is that little prince absolutely not destined to be an emperor?"

Hearing what she said, Zhang De's face almost turned pale with fright, and he angrily said: "Bold, in front of Sheng Jia, how dare you—"

Xinyi quickly knelt down, but Ming Xuanyu stopped Zhang De's words and asked Xinyi, "How do you know these rumors? Who taught you to say that?"

Judging from his voice, he didn't seem very angry.

She didn't answer his question, but bowed her head and said: "Sage is no better than the emperor! The emperor naturally disdains the words of charlatans, but, in the ears of the common people, they have some influence."

He put down the book and looked at her.

She raised her head and said, "I'm just afraid that these rumors will be taken seriously, and what they did, then, then—"

She didn't continue talking, just lowered her head.

There was silence in the hall, and Zhang De glanced at the emperor.

Ming Xuanyu didn't expect her to say such words, but it was obvious that these words were definitely not what she was thinking, and must have been instigated by someone.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "If you have anything else to say, finish it!"

She took a deep breath and continued: "I heard that someone wants the empress to adopt the little prince because of this—"

She looked up at him, and he was calm.

Could it be that he already knew?Xinyi is puzzled.

So that's the case, so I want me to know about it!

His tone was also very calm, and he said: "The empress is in charge of the sixth house, so she won't do that kind of thing!"

Could it be that he doesn't believe it?

She looked up again, then lowered her head again.

"What else are you talking about?" he asked.

"Servant, servant, I just want to ask the emperor, what if this really happens? What if the empress also—" She confides all her doubts.

"Zhuang Xinyi, let me tell you something. Remember: the one who inherits the throne must be a person who obeys the will of heaven and responds to the hearts of the people, not just anyone who thinks about it!" After he finished speaking, he picked up the book and read it again, and said to Zhang De: "Arrange it." , bring Princess Heshun, I will go to Tiger Roaring Camp tomorrow morning to have a look!"

Zhang De took the order to withdraw.

After Zhang De closed the door, Ming Xuanyu said: "There are some things that you shouldn't say. If you say it, be careful and lose your life!"

She kowtowed to thank him and got up to stand beside him.

"Since you mentioned this, I want to ask you, who is helping the queen do these things?" He didn't look at her, his eyes kept falling on the book, "Don't say you don't know! Can you do that?" Tell me about that matter in a detour, there is no way you don't know the person behind it!"

She looked at him, swallowed, and replied: "It is said that they are from Concubine Shu and Duke Ding's mansion!"

He just said "Oh" and fell silent.

When the tea was cold, she quickly changed him into a new cup, and then stood beside him silently.

"King Yu," he said suddenly, "I want to ask you what you think of King Yu?"

She thought deeply, not knowing how to answer.

He just turned his head slightly, glanced at her, and said, "Just tell me how you feel. No matter what you say, I won't blame you!"

"This—" she stammered.

He put down the book, stepped down from the throne, went to the ground to stretch his muscles and bones, and said: "You brat, why don't you dare to speak now?"

Bar head?She looked at him with resentment, but he smiled.

Alright, since you said that I am the head of the bar, let me show you the head of the bar!
She thought so, and said what she thought about Yu Wang.

"My servant once heard that Prince Yu is a talented person and a virtuous king." As she said, he nodded and sat on the soft couch opposite the throne, looking at her.

"However, when I met the prince that day, the servant felt that it was somewhat inconsistent with those rumors!"

"Oh?" He paced slowly, "How?"

She took a deep breath and replied: "I don't have much knowledge, I just read the ancient virtuous king from the drama. Compared with the virtuous king in the drama, King Yu is not a virtuous one!"

"Now the emperor is in deep trouble. Even Lord Lan, a weak woman, can sacrifice her life for the emperor. As a nobleman of the royal family, Prince Yu is only in a corner, and does not want to be loyal to the emperor." She looked at him, and then said.

"Perhaps what the servant said was wrong, maybe the prince did something for the emperor and the servant did not see it. But, judging from the conversation between the emperor and the prince that day, the servant feels that he is not wrong!"

"The emperor asked the prince about his plans for governing the country, but what the prince said made people feel, feel," she tried hard to think about what language to use, but he didn't speak.

"It feels like I'm talking about something that has nothing to do with me. It's a bit of a spectator mentality."

"I don't know what the rebellion in the south is like. But since the emperor asked, the prince shouldn't just shift the responsibility to the court, as if someone in the court colluded with the rebels. As the prince, he has a heavy army and has virtuous people. Wang Zhi said, shouldn’t we think of a way for the emperor?”

He showed a faint smile and asked, "That's it?"

"Also," she muttered, "I feel that the lord should not think about presenting beauties to the emperor, but should tell the emperor his experience in handling political affairs."

"In short, what the lord has done makes the slaves feel that he wants the emperor to indulge in sensuality!"

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly walked up to him and bowed her head in salute: "Your servant speaks nonsense, please punish the emperor!"

But he laughed loudly and said: "It seems that if you are not forced, you will not tell the truth!"

She lowered her head and said nothing, he approached her, raised her chin to stare at her, and asked, "Aren't you afraid of offending King Yu?"

"My father always taught my slaves: In this world, you should not be ashamed of the gods and kings above, you should not be ashamed of your parents and teachers, and you should not be ashamed of your own conscience!"

Yes, this is what my father said back then!

It is also the father's principle of life!
For many years, in order to survive, she couldn't stick to her father's teachings!
Now that she said this, she couldn't tell if it was because she started to stick to her father's principles, or because she continued to survive?

She couldn't distinguish between true and false!

I don't know if it's her expression and language that confused him at this moment, or what, looking at her delicate face, the ice that wrapped his heart cracked a tiny gap, so small that he didn't even notice it.

They looked at each other, but were silent.

"Your father, what a man of insight!" he sighed.

"My servant, thank the emperor for his compliment!" She said blessedly.

"However, since your father taught you this way, why do you always talk to me without saying a word?" He asked, "Could it be that your father also taught you?"

But she was speechless, she couldn't tell him so much about the past, and those pasts absolutely couldn't be said.

Because, no matter who you are appointed to monitor the emperor, this is a serious crime to punish the nine clans!
Moreover, now that those people still have weapons that can check and balance her, how dare she tell him the truth?
