Concubine Han's eyes flashed, and she suddenly didn't know what to feel in her heart. She pursed her lips and said, "The case of the Xiao family back then..."
"It can be considered an unjust case..." Murong Yuan replied with a sigh.
"So...the emperor has long known that brother Xiao Yunhan was the survivor of the Xiao family case. Now they are here, most likely to seek revenge from the emperor. Then why did the emperor still promote Xiao Yunhan step by step, and even made Xiao Yunhan the king of the country?
General?" Concubine Han looked at Murong Yuan quietly, not knowing what to think in her heart, nor could she understand the person beside her pillow.
"After I asked people to investigate Xiao Yunhan's life experience, I also asked people to look into the case of the Xiao family and re-investigate it. After a lot of trouble, I found out that the case of the Xiao family was also an unjust case..." Murong Yuan's eyes were filled with something.
Repenting, he moved the hand that was pillowed by Concubine Han, and continued: "Back then, Governor Xiao was accused of treason, and my father sent me to Suzhou to investigate the matter, but I hastily closed the case with just one poem.
The satirical poem convicted Governor Xiao. After another investigation five years ago, it was found that the poem was indeed written by Governor Xiao. However, Governor Xiao did not do anything else that was sorry for the Tianyue Kingdom and the Murong family.
It's not a death penalty...but I sentenced her rashly for selfish reasons...Xinhan..." Murong Yuan said, turning to look at Hanbin, his face full of guilt and self-blame, and he sighed heavily.
: "Did you know... In the case of the Xiao family that year, I executed a total of more than a hundred people... together with the entire Xiao family, and all the servants of the Xiao family... I pardoned no one, and sentenced them all to execution... All of those people were
His death was in vain...Except for the Xiao brothers who escaped, I killed more than a hundred people, so I can be considered a murderer..."
"So...five years ago, after the emperor re-investigated the Xiao family case, he wanted to make up for the mistakes he made that year, so he promoted Xiao Yunhan..." Concubine Han looked at Murong Yuan, with some emotion in her heart, and spoke softly, with
asked speculatively.
Murong Yuan nodded: "Xinhan guessed it right. I do have a deep sense of guilt and self-blame for the Xiao family. Brother Xiao Yunhan is the only descendant of the Xiao family. By doing this, I can make up for some of the mistakes I made back then."
It's my fault..." As he said that, he turned his head again and looked at the top of the bed: "But that's not entirely true. Xiao Yunhan is indeed a good general. Over the years, Xiao Yunhan has also made a lot of contributions to Tianyue Kingdom."
"But... Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that if Xiao Yunhan becomes more powerful, he will avenge the Xiao family?" Concubine Han frowned slightly, very puzzled.
"Originally I thought that as long as I was careful with the embankments, I could control Xiao Yunhan... But... now it seems that I underestimated Xiao Yunhan too much, so I just said that I was raising tigers for trouble." Murong Yuan's brows furrowed.
, said calmly.
"Your Majesty, do you know that Xiao Yunhan kidnapped Princess Zhaoxue yesterday?" Concubine Han looked at Murong Yuan and asked, this is exactly what Eunuch Li told Murong Zhaoxue just now.
Murong Yuan was shocked, sat up and looked at Concubine Han: "What did you say?"
Concubine Han also sat up and reached out to touch Murong Yuan's back: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Princess, she is fine. Didn't the Emperor see her at noon today? She is fine."
"What's going on? Tell me in detail." Murong Yuan had already calmed down and looked at Concubine Han and asked.
Concubine Han nodded, and then told Murong Yuan roughly what Eunuch Li had told her.
"Your Majesty, the princess said that Xiao Yunhan will definitely take action early now. I hope your Majesty can protect himself."
Murong Yuan frowned, then smiled softly: "I didn't expect Zhaoxue to really grow up. Three months ago, when Xiao Yunchen approached Zhaoxue, I knew that the Xiao brothers were going to take action, so I pointed out the Situ family for Zhaoxue.
This marriage was about to happen, but I didn’t expect that Zhaoxue refused to marry because of Xiao Yunchen’s objection... The imperial sister only left Zhaoxue as a daughter. I also regarded Zhaoxue as my own daughter and was reluctant to let her suffer, so I withdrew the decree and thought of another one.
There is a way to prevent Xiao Yunchen from getting close to Zhaoxue; or Xiao Yunchen and Zhaoxue really love each other, maybe Zhaoxue can resolve the hatred back then... But now it seems that I am getting old and my ideas have become naive... Thank God, Zhaoxue has grown up
, I know how to understand people’s hearts. Alas...I am really old..."
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. Right now, we want to stop Xiao Yunhan's conspiracy." Concubine Han said, paused, looked at Murong Yuan seriously, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, Xinhan is just a weak woman... But
However, Xinhan also knew that the emperor was the emperor of Tianyue Kingdom and was responsible for the entire people of Tianyue Kingdom... Your Majesty, the princess said that Xiao Yunhan seemed to be connected with the people of Tianyang Kingdom. The emperor thought about it, if Xiao Yunhan was really connected with Tianyang Kingdom.
If the Chinese people collude to attack our Tianyue Kingdom, then our Tianyue Kingdom will be in chaos... Xiao Yunhan only cares about family feud and personal hatred, but completely ignores the people of the entire Tianyue Kingdom. Such a person... Even if he is allowed to sit on
If we lose the throne, will the people of the Moon Kingdom live a good life that day?"
He took a breath and said: "Yes... The emperor did something wrong back then. I'm sorry for the Xiao family, but the emperor is concerned with the people of the world. As long as the emperor is more diligent and caring for the people in the future, the people can live a real life."
Good times, that can be regarded as making up for the mistakes of the past, and for the Xiao family brothers, the emperor has also made up for it...The emperor should focus on the overall situation now...must not belittle oneself..."
Murong Yuan listened to her for a long time, his eyes glazed over. After a long time, he smiled slightly and took Han Bin's hand: "Thank you, Xin Han, I know what to do."
Concubine Han nodded, her eyes flashed, and she looked at Murong Yuan: "Your Majesty, the princess also asked me to inform you of something."
"What's the matter, Xinhan just say it's okay." Murong Yuan patted her hand and said.
Concubine Han nodded: "The princess asked me to tell the emperor that the girl from the Yan family... is Xiao Yunhan's person..."
Murong Yuan narrowed his eyes, patted Han Bin's hand and stopped without saying anything.
Concubine Han looked at him, her expression unchanged. She no longer had any illusions about Murong Yuan. For her, Princess Zhaoxue was her and Chen'er's benefactor, so she would definitely understand what Princess Zhaoxue told her.
It's done; and if something happens to Murong Yuan, she and Chen'er will not end well. Therefore, she just had such a long conversation with Murong Yuan... After thinking about it, she continued: "Your Majesty, Princess, please
He said that the Yan family girl knows some witchcraft and I hope the emperor will be careful. If necessary, the princess will ask Master Qing'an to come down."
Murong Yuan was still stunned. After a lot of time passed, Murong Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Concubine Han: "Xinhan, now I have people arranged by Xiao Yunhan. I am afraid that from now on, even the people I trust will also
We are under surveillance, and like Zhao Xue, I don't want to alert the enemy and find out Xiao Yunhan's accomplices, so now we can only take dangerous measures... I wonder if there is anyone trustworthy around Xin Han who can help me send a message to Zhao Xue."
Concubine Han shook her head and replied: "Your Majesty, I report truthfully. I don't know if the people around me are trustworthy."
Murong Yuan frowned, thinking about a way to have the best of both worlds, not only not alarming Xiao Yunhan, not making Xiao Yunhan suspicious, but also being able to convey his thoughts to Zhao Xue...
"Your Majesty, if your Majesty can trust me, can you tell me what you want to convey to the princess?" Concubine Han asked again, looking at Murong Yuan quietly, her pretty face could be seen through the candlelight.
Murong Yuan glanced at her and smiled faintly: "I have told Xinhan like this, so how can I not believe Xinhan? I want to tell Zhaoxue..." He whispered in Hanbin's ear.
"Your Majesty, how can this be? It's too dangerous!" Concubine Han shook her head and said, she didn't expect Murong Yuan to make such a dangerous move...
"Xinhan, I can't think of a better way at the moment. Only in this way can we quietly kill all Xiao Yunhan's gang." Murong Yuan said seriously.
Concubine Han glanced at him, lowered her eyes, and hesitated in her heart. If something happened to Murong Yuan, then she and Chen'er would have no place in the palace...
Seeing Concubine Han's look like this, Murong Yuan thought she was worried about him, so he smiled and said: "Xinhan, don't worry, nothing will happen to me. If I really fall under the spell of witchcraft, I will still have Master Qing'an."
It’s okay if you’re too here.”
After hearing what he said, Concubine Han thought for a moment and raised her eyes: "Your Majesty, I have thought of a way. Maybe I can give it a try."
"What method?" Murong Yuan asked, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Concubine Han narrowed her eyes slightly and said softly: "I can borrow the pastry to convey the emperor's intention to the princess. I believe that the princess will be able to understand it with her intelligence." After that, she raised her head and looked at Murong Yuan: "The emperor thinks that
how?"
Murong Yuan frowned, but still asked in confusion: "How can I convey my meaning through cakes?"
"Your Majesty will know when he sees it tomorrow morning." Concubine Han smiled slightly and stretched out her hand to help Murong Yuan lie down: "It's getting late. Your Majesty, please rest soon. Don't think too much. There is the Princess, Young Master Situ
, and there are several pavilion masters who will definitely get rid of Xiao Yunhan’s party."
Murong Yuan looked at her and saw her smiling slightly, which was reassuring. He nodded and closed his eyes.
Concubine Han took a deep breath, looked at Murong Yuan's sleeping face, and recalled the carefree days in Zhujian. She smiled faintly and sighed in her heart, how wonderful it would be if you were not the emperor... Then everything will change...
The next day, Murong Yuan slowly woke up, turned around, saw no one around him, and stood up: "Little plum."
Eunuch Li was waiting outside the curtain and hurriedly called the palace maid in to serve Murong Yuan and get up.
"Little plum, where is Concubine Han?" Murong Yuan asked after finishing dressing and washing.
"Back to the Emperor, your Majesty went to prepare cakes for the Emperor." Eunuch Li replied with a smile, and followed Murong Yuan towards the outer hall.
When they arrived at the outer hall, they saw Concubine Han walking towards the couch with a plate in her hand, placing several dishes of cakes on the couch on the table. She smiled and saluted Murong Yuan who came over, and then stepped forward to help Murong Yuan go.
He went to the couch and sat down: "The emperor got up at the right time. I personally made several plates of snacks for the emperor."
"Oh, then I want to try it." Murong Yuan said with a smile, looked at the snacks on the table, and asked: "Xinhan, what are these snacks, and why have I never seen them before?"
Concubine Han smiled, sat on the other side of the table, and replied: "Your Majesty, I don't know what these plates of cakes are called. I made them at will. They were quite delicious, so I boldly made them for the Emperor to eat."
, I just asked the palace people to send a few plates to the queen, several concubines, several princes, and the princess to taste them."
"Oh, that's it." Murong Yuan looked at the plates of snacks carefully, his eyes rested on some red pastries, and he smiled: "Xin Han is really ingenious." Murong Yuan was quite impressed with Han Bin at this time.
I have a somewhat different view. I used to think that Concubine Han was just a simple girl born among the bamboos, but now I think she has a calmness and resourcefulness that ordinary women in the harem don't have.
Concubine Han smiled slightly: "The emperor made fun of me."
In the palace, the two of them chatted and laughed over pastries. When it was time to go to court, Murong Yuan left.
Outside the palace, at the entrance of the palace, the carriage was stopped by the guards at the palace entrance.
"Who are you? What are you doing out of the palace?" A sturdy guard holding a spear asked loudly towards the eunuch driving the car.
The eunuch took out a sign from his arms and handed it to the guard: "I am from Yonghan Palace. On the orders of Concubine Han, I send cakes to the second prince, the third prince, and Princess Zhaoxue."
The guard took the sign, looked at it carefully, returned the sign to the eunuch, and raised the curtain with a spear: "Both the carriage and the cakes must be inspected."
The face of the palace maid in the carriage changed. She did not expect that the guards guarding the palace gate were so arrogant. Thinking that her master was favored by the Holy Emperor, how could he be so angry with such guards? She reached the entrance of the carriage and inserted her waist: "Bold slave, we
It’s Concubine Feng Han who came out of the palace to deliver cakes to the prince and the princess. How dare you check? Who are you and are you qualified to check the things of the prince and the princess?”
"You..." The guard glared at the palace maid on the horse, with a straight face, and pointed his spear at the palace maid: "Nowadays, eunuchs and maids often steal the treasures in the palace. Maybe there is a stolen treasure in the food box in your carriage.
We have the right to inspect."
When the palace maid saw the guard pointing at the spear, she also knew that a good man would not suffer the immediate consequences. She lowered her head angrily, avoided the spear, took out the three food boxes from the carriage, and placed them heavily on the carriage's mouth.
The guard took back the spear and threw it to the guard on the side. He took a few steps closer and snorted at the palace maid. He opened the food boxes one by one and saw that they were indeed filled with cakes. He was about to reach out and take a piece of cake to take a look.
.
The palace maid on the side saw it and said hurriedly: "If you dare to touch these pastries, I will go back and report to the empress immediately. You, a gatekeeper, dare to touch the pastries that the empress made for the prince and the princess!"
The guard retracted his hand, glanced at the palace maid, and waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, let me go."
The palace maid glared at the guard, closed the lid of the food box, carried it into the carriage, and ordered the eunuch to leave the palace.
Not long after the carriage left, a commander in a blue guard uniform came over, glanced around, walked up to the guard just now, and asked: "Is there anything suspicious today?"
The guard shook his head: "Coming back to the commander, there is nothing suspicious. It's just that some empress asked the maid to leave the palace and give cakes to the second prince, the third prince and Princess Zhaoxue."
"The pastry inspection? Is there anything suspicious?" the commander asked hurriedly, his eyes narrowed.
The guard thought for a moment and shook his head: "I checked it out. It's just an ordinary pastry. There's nothing suspicious about it."
The commander nodded: "Watch carefully, the master said that things will be done in these few days."
"I understand, please rest assured, Master." The guard replied softly, and added in a louder voice: "Don't worry, Commander An, I will serve you faithfully and will not let the palace people steal the treasures in the palace and sell them for money."
"Yes." The commander nodded and looked at the other guards: "You all should pay close attention. The carriages and palace people leaving and entering the palace must be inspected carefully."
"Yes, Commander An." The guards responded loudly.
The carriage just left the palace and went first to Prince Xuan's Mansion, then to Prince Yi's Mansion, and finally to Leng Mansion.
The boy guarding the gate carried the food box to the entrance of Yuxue Yuan and gave it to the maid guarding the entrance: "This is the cake that the empress Han concubine in the palace ordered to give to the princess. It was made by empress concubine Han concubine herself."
of."
The maid hurriedly took the food box, gave the boy a piece of silver, and walked into the courtyard with the food box. When she saw Xiaowan who was supported by the silver core, she stepped forward and said, "Sister Xiaowan, this is the palace.
The cakes that Concubine Han sent to the princess were made by Concubine Han herself."
Yinxin stepped forward and took the cake: "Sister Xiaowan, Yinxin should give it to the princess."
Xiaowan's eyes flashed and she shook her head: "I'll go with you, be careful with the food box." After saying that, she walked towards the main house, and her steps seemed to be much more steady.
Yinxin glanced at Xiaowan's back and hurriedly followed with the food box in hand.
Murong Zhaoxue had just stood up after being served by Yinxiang. When she saw Xiaowan coming in, she frowned: "Xiaowan, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"Princess, Concubine Han sent someone to send pastries. They were made by Concubine Han herself." Xiao Wan pointed to the food box in Yin Xin's hand and said hurriedly.
Murong Zhaoxue's eyes flashed and he ordered: "Yinxin, take out the pastries and put them on the table."
"Yes, Princess." Yinxin responded, put the food box on the table, and took out a plate with pastries in turn.
Murong Zhaoxue looked at the three plates of pastries on the table, her eyes flickering slightly. She looked at them for a while and then ordered: "Yinxin, go and invite all the masters."
"Yes, Princess." Yinxin responded, turned around and left the house, but there was a hint of displeasure on the corner of her mouth. There were three maids in the house, why did Yinxin let her do everything!
Murong Zhaoxue looked at Xiaowan: "Xiaowan, please sit down first and take a look at these pastries."
Xiaowan stepped forward and helped Zhaoxue sit down first. She sat down just now, looked at the three plates of pastries on the table, and frowned slightly. Both she and the master knew that at this juncture, Concubine Han would not be unreasonable.
They brought you cakes, there must be some mystery behind it.
