Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself

"The Queen Mother, may you be blessed!"

The queen slowly knelt down with a very respectful attitude.

If it weren't for the dagger on her waist, she might have thought this was just an ordinary greeting.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me." Borzigit Bumbutai said slowly in Mongolian. (From now on, it will be omitted and become Xiaozhuang.)

Xiaozhuang looked at the queen in front of him.

Since the death of her son Emperor Shunzhi, the queen seems to have changed. The previous queen had a very bad temper, was petty and jealous, and was even more competitive.

Xiaozhuang actually disliked this queen very much.

However, she is a very easy-to-control daughter-in-law, so Xiaozhuang has always tolerated this daughter-in-law and wanted to work hard to cultivate her.

After all, she was Mongolian just like the queen. The emperor could be Manchu, but the queen and the queen mother could only be Mongolian. This is related to the interests and security of them and these Mongolians who have integrated with the Manchus.

Therefore, Xiaozhuang must control the selection of the queen.

However, the daughter-in-law in front of her seems to have become completely different since the death of Emperor Shunzhi, Xiaozhuang's son. Not only has he changed his bad temper, but he has also become less arrogant. Xiaozhuang originally planned to suppress her and continue to hone her temperament until she had the appropriate abilities, and then give her greater rights and let her take charge of the harem.

But I didn't expect that since the death of Emperor Shunzhi, not only has this daughter-in-law's personality become completely different from before, but her usual high-profile pomp has also become much more restrained. It was as if he had completely changed from the inside out. He stayed quietly in the harem every day, and basically did nothing except watching the emperor read and write in the south study every day.

Xiaozhuang had actually suspected for a long time that there might be something wrong with her, that she might have been transferred, but Xiaozhuang had no chance or time to prove this matter, let alone the energy to investigate it.

Because there are ever-changing things in the court.

At that time, Kangxi was still young, only eight years old.

Even though Kangxi showed maturity and political skills beyond all in the future.

But at that time, it was obvious that the little emperor, who was only eight years old, could not do anything, and everything could only be done by Xiaozhuang, her grandmother.

However, it turns out that even an old fox like Xiaozhuang cannot see through this ever-changing court. The rise of Aobai is actually largely the result of Xiaozhuang's infestation with tigers. The matter of the four important ministers of the auxiliary country was actually established under Xiaozhuang's prompting.

Unexpectedly, after raising this bird for so long, its eyes were pecked out by an eagle, and an ungrateful jackal named Obai was born.

The queen in front of her was still kneeling on the ground.

Nothing was said.

Xiaozhuang immediately understood that this guy was indeed not the same woman as before, otherwise she wouldn't be able to understand Mongolian.

"I just spoke to you in Mongolian, did you not understand? If you don't understand, just say what you want to say directly."

Xiaozhuang suddenly put the gold hairpin in his hand back on his head, slowly sat on the chair, picked up the tea, and took a sip.

"I understand!" The woman on the ground suddenly said in Mongolian, "The reason why I didn't answer your question is to express my sincerity to you. I am not the queen. The real queen has been taken by Oboi long ago. He's gone, I'm just a pawn he buried. I'm willing to help you get rid of him, and I just want to leave here afterwards."

Xiaozhuang looked at her with cold eyes, and then said in Mongolian: "The Ai family will not let you go, even if you help the Ai family kill Obai. I will kill you, and the royal secrets will always be We can’t let it slip that Aijia doesn’t like telling lies, Aijia hopes you can understand my good intentions.”

The woman kneeling on the ground didn't show any unnecessary expression.

Instead, he silently began to kowtow, and while kowtowing, he said: "I was adopted by Obai since I was a child, and there were many girls who were adopted with me, all of them Manchu and Mongolian girls.

When Ao Bai was very young, he had our facial bones replaced, just to make us look the same as the Manchu and Mongolian princesses.

Since the Queen became Queen, the girls I used to live with have disappeared.

And I also have a mission, which is to succeed the queen and become the master of the palace, and when the time is right, I will cooperate with Obai to plot to usurp the throne. "

Xiaozhuang's face was calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

If what the queen in front of her said was true, wouldn't it mean that Ao Bai had already started planning to usurp the throne many years ago.

At that time, he was not an important minister of the country, he was just an ordinary first-class minister. There were more than ten first-class ministers like this in the entire court, and Obai was not the most powerful among them. biggest.

And under such circumstances, he has actually begun to plan a rebellion!

This man is so deep and scheming that it really makes people feel scared.

Xiaozhuang suddenly thought of something, that is, after Emperor Shunzhi died, she felt groggy for a while, as if she had some serious illness, and the imperial doctor could not tell it. It was not until later that she appointed After Obai became an important minister of the auxiliary country and formed a team of killers composed of Mongolians to protect his own safety, the disease that made him dizzy suddenly got better overnight.

Xiaozhuang originally thought that it might just be a sudden illness that came and went quickly, but now that he thought about it, if he guessed correctly, it was probably Obai's handiwork. Xiaozhuang couldn't help but a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

She could probably guess that if everything the woman pretending to be the queen said was true, then Obai must have prepared a substitute for her Xiaozhuang.

I thought that I might very well be fooled into thinking that someone else would be misled.

Xiaozhuang felt waves of chills coming from him, as if he was in an ice cellar, which made Xiaozhuang feel extremely creepy.

"What evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true? Instead of going to the Ai family to perform a painful trick?" Xiaozhuang still didn't quite believe what the woman in front of him said, "Produce substantive evidence, The Ai family can consider saving your life after the incident."

The queen slowly stood up, untied her belt, and revealed a pale golden flower blooming on her skin!

Xiaozhuang completely believed it.

Xiaozhuang recognized the flower. It was Obai's favorite honeysuckle, and in such a location, it could leave the mark of this flower.

She already believed 80% of what this woman said.

"What are you going to do?"

“Everything must be obeyed by the Queen Mother!”

Xiaozhuang sneered and said, "You are a smart man. Okay, you can go back. The Ai family will let you know if there is any news. When they need your help, they will naturally tell you.

Don't think about being a rat with two ends, and a person with both ends.

The Aijia can only tell you that if the Aijia kills Aobai, you have a chance to survive, but if Aobai kills the Aijia, your chance of survival is hardly more than 10%.

Believe in Ai Jia, he will never leave you as a trouble. "

Xiaozhuang looked at the woman's back as she slowly left.

Silently he picked up the deformed golden pot that had been thrown by him on the ground, and pressed it hard with both hands, and the twisted place returned to its original state.

He scooped up another pot of water.

Xiaozhuang continued to water the flowers.

But the look in his eyes was as deep as the starry sky.

——

"No, at this speed. Most of our time will be spent here." Wu Gong looked at the long funeral procession in the distance and said, "The gold on those carriages actually weighs very little.

Because gold is soft, it cannot be cast into wheels and car frames. At most, it can only be made into car roofs and body walls. This means that a large amount of gold was hidden in the funeral procession.

Since we deliberately left them alive, there will no longer be such a single carriage coming out soon, and we still have to attack by force. But this matter must be framed on the Rakshasa people, which means that we can't act openly and honestly." Wu Gong suddenly felt extremely dizzy.

"Wu Lang, we have been delaying this matter for too long. The Poison Hand Medicine King is erratic. If there is no way to reach Qianshan quickly, if he loses his trace again, it will be troublesome to find him again."

Li Mochou said the key to the problem, which was also the root cause of Wu Gonghui's headache.

Yes, you really need to hurry up.

"Ms. sir!" Su Quan came back with a red-haired woman.

When Wu Gong saw this woman, he immediately felt a kind of physical fear, as if he had encountered a natural enemy that restrained him. Of course, this feeling quickly disappeared, like an illusion.

This woman is none other than the real leader of the White Lotus Sect, the Red Fire Buddha Mother of the White Lotus Sect.

"Dear Sir, we meet again!"

Wu Gong slightly clasped his fists and was about to say hello when he discovered that the jungle in the distance was densely packed with White Lotus followers dressed in white.

"Buddha Mother. What are you?"

Wu Gong's words haven't finished yet.

The Red Fire Buddha Mother waved, and the White Lotus cultists behind her began to change their clothes. In the blink of an eye, they changed into Rakshasa clothes, with thick velvet hats on their heads and gorgeous sabers on their waists. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell the difference between them and the Rakshasa people.

Of course, the White Lotus Cult does not have so many firecrackers in their hands, but there are still many White Lotus cultists who hold a firecracker in their hands.

"What are you"

Lian'er and the others have all told me that we, the White Lotus Sect, will do anything to help with this matter, and we absolutely cannot let the war between the Rakshasa people and the Manchus stop here.

Otherwise, the White Lotus Sect, which finally took a breather, will be targeted and suppressed by the Qing Dynasty again.

Therefore, this batch of gold can never be transported away by the Manchus no matter what.

Wu Gong clicked his tongue, this is really the pillow that makes him fall asleep whenever he wants to.

"but!"

The Scarlet Fire Buddha Mother suddenly said, "We want to get 10% more of this batch of gold, and the rest, the White Lotus Sect will send it to the Song Dynasty court without fail.

But as for how many will reach the front line and how many will be corrupted, I have no way to guarantee! "
