Chapter 1,161 The key to the Halloween Princess trying her best to hide it
In the Forbidden City.
Xiaoqian sat above the palace, bathing in the moonlight falling from the night sky.
The brilliance rippled slightly like water waves, and streams of pure white breath were extracted from it, entering the center of her eyebrows and the figure of a hundred ghosts traveling at night hanging above her head.
After a long time, Xiaoqian stopped inhaling the moonlight and stretched out her finger. The slowly rotating picture of a hundred ghosts walking at night was filled with gray-black impurities, and became more and more pure after being refined. Japanese practitioners would be amazed when they saw it.
Ever since, when Zhu Shisan and Chen Hong flew out from left to right and prostrated themselves in front of them, their auras also increased and became stronger.
The former expressed sincere admiration: "Congratulations to Your Highness, Princess, for your improvement in cultivation!"
The latter showed a flattering smile: "We are in the picture and have benefited a lot, all thanks to His Highness's gift!"
Xiaoqian was not happy at all, but instead had a cold expression on her face, and issued an order: "Go and explore outside the palace to see if there is any progress with Tao Thief. If you see... Li Zhenren, ask if I still want to stay in the palace."
How long will you stay in the city?"
Zhu Shisan immediately accepted the order, while Chen Hong hurriedly said: "Your Highness the Princess is unwilling to stay in the palace now because her memory has not yet been restored. When she remembers how well Your Majesty has treated you, she will be willing to stay!"
Xiaoqian frowned: "Why stay here? I'm already dead. If it weren't for the current chaos in the underworld, I should have entered the Netherworld and been reincarnated..."
"What's more, there is an aura in this palace that makes me very uncomfortable. Even if my memory is restored, I don't want to stay. You go find the real person quickly. I have rescued the prince brother, but my wish will not be fulfilled for a moment.
I’m willing to stay!”
Chen Hong reluctantly accepted the order: "Yes!"
The two ghosts followed the path and floated out with ease. Zhu Shisan was very fast and obviously had no nostalgia for the palace. Chen Hong looked back three times with each step and sighed.
He also knew that it was impossible for him to follow his original trajectory and become the admiral of Dongchang, a majestic and majestic one. However, he still had an infinite nostalgia for this palace.
"It's a pity that the princess doesn't want to stay, but it's no wonder that His Highness is really unhappy here..."
"Tell me specifically, why are you unhappy?"
While he was talking to himself, a familiar voice suddenly came. Chen Hong was startled when he saw two figures standing outside the palace, it was Li Yan and Lu Bing.
Although he has now changed his name to Zhenren, Chen Hong observed his words and clearly remembered that in the past, Her Royal Highness the Princess always addressed this person as master, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Slave, please pay homage to Zhenren Li!"
Li Yan said: "You came out just in time. Zhu Shisan went to invite Her Royal Highness out. Chen Hong stayed behind. I have something to ask."
"yes!"
Zhu Shisan first clasped his fists heavily, and then saluted Lu Bing, his eyes slightly red.
Seeing this capable general who turned into a ghost, Lu Bing felt sad but also a little happy: "It is a good thing after all that I can stay with the princess and serve!"
Chen Hong said nervously: "I wonder what Master Li wants to ask?"
Li Yandao: "Starting from what you just said, was Princess Chang'an in a bad situation when she was in the palace?"
Chen Hong subconsciously said: "I dare not talk nonsense..."
Lu Bingdao: "Eunuch Chen, don't be afraid. We are not inquiring about personal affairs. This matter is of great importance. I hope Eunuch Chen will tell the truth!"
Chen Hong also realized that his status was different. Only when he knew everything and said everything in front of this person could he consolidate his status. He hurriedly said: "Yes! When I served Her Highness the Princess, Her Highness often died tragically because of the tragic death of Concubine Cao Duan.
She washed her face with tears, but the Empress also regarded her as a thorn in her flesh, and deliberately made things difficult for her. She also suffered from many illnesses and was often bedridden. The servants were very sad to see her."
Li Yan asked: "What is your Majesty's attitude?"
Chen Hong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty loves your Highness the Princess very much, and gave you Huang Yu Ruyi, hoping to pass on your immortal energy and help the Princess live a long life... But after all, the Empress did a good job in rescuing her, and Your Majesty still trusts her...
"
Concubine Cao Duan died unjustly and tragically, and the culprit was the deliberately slandered Empress Fang. Jiajing had three empresses, and they all died early. This one
Empress Fang was no exception. There was a fire in the harem and she was burned alive when she was just in her early thirties.
There is also a rumor derived from this unofficial history, saying that it was because Jiajing hated the queen for killing Concubine Cao Duan that she deliberately refused to save her when the fire broke out. Even when the palace caught fire, it was this Taojun emperor who ordered her to be released.
Yes, in order to avenge the tragic death of my beloved concubine.
Such a plot is very consistent with the universal value of evil being punished, but unfortunately, the authenticity of unofficial records is not high. On the contrary, "The Biography of the Concubines in the History of the Ming Dynasty" clearly records Jiajing's attitude towards the queen, "The queen is better than the queen."
To save me from danger, he came to heaven to help me in trouble, and he was buried with the empress of the Yuan Dynasty."
Empress Fang was originally the third empress of Jiajing. Because of her role in rescuing the emperor during the Renyin Palace Incident, she was buried with the etiquette of a first wife queen and was buried in Yongling. She was given the posthumous title of Empress Xiaolie.
If this is Jiajing's double-dealing, secretly burning the queen to death in revenge, and superficially burying her in glory, then the next thing doesn't make sense. When the funeral period came out, the minister of the Ministry of Rites buried the queen's body in accordance with the system.
The god was placed in the east chamber of Fengxian Hall, but Jiajing objected, stating that the east chamber was not the main hall, and that Empress Xiaolie should live in the Taimiao Temple.
Nephew rituals are very formal and solemn matters. For this reason, Jiajing also had quite a few conflicts with his ministers. Later, when it came to the death anniversary sacrifices, there was another quarrel, and the ministers who objected were dismissed from their posts by the imperial staff.
Although Jiajing always liked to confront ministers in etiquette to confirm his authority, it was always because of important relatives. From these incidents, it can be seen that he did not hold grudges because of the death of Concubine Cao Duan.
The queen, on the other hand, was grateful that the queen's palace attendant saved her life.
After all, for the extremely selfish emperor, the life of a concubine was obviously not as valuable as his own life, so Empress Fang's favor was far greater than her dislike, which was completely in line with Jiajing's temperament.
As for Concubine Cao Duan who died tragically, I can only feel sorry...
After understanding this background, one can imagine how difficult the situation for a girl who was not even ten years old when her mother-in-law died was in a difficult situation facing the queen.
Lu Bing sighed silently, while Li Yan took a deep breath: "As far as you know, after the death of Queen Fang, has the princess changed for the better? Is there a smile on her face?"
Chen Hong's voice was low: "There was no smile, but the princess was still depressed, and then the slave was transferred to the ceremonial prison..."
Li Yan knew very well that Chen Hong was now acting like a master and servant, but in fact he had long wanted to be transferred away from the princess who had no future. He probably tried every possible means to find a job, and finally joined the Department of Ceremonies as an errand, and now he is here.
.
"host--"
After asking a few more questions, accompanied by cheers, Xiaoqian happily flew over to her. She became more reserved until she was in front of him, and took the lead in saluting: "Zhenren Li!"
Seeing this man with a smile as bright as a flower and showing sincere joy, Li Yan felt a little distressed. However, everyone must face their past head-on. He must not hide his illness and avoid treatment. The damage he would do if he revealed it would only be minimal. He ordered: "Take them back."
!」
Xiaoqian followed her instructions, displayed the Hundred Ghosts at Night, took Chen Hong and Zhu Shisan in, and then showed a look of doubt.
Li Yan got straight to the point: "My next speculation will be related to the truth about the murder of Prince Zhuang Jing and Princess Chang An. No matter what you hear, please don't get too excited..."
Although it was related to how she died, Xiaoqian's mood was very stable. She felt that life after death was very good. She pursed her lips and smiled: "Please don't worry, real person!"
Lu Bing had experienced strong winds and waves, and he also smiled slightly: "Sir, you are too worried. What scene have I not seen before?"
Li Yan spoke: "The prince was cursed to death, and his life span was shortened with a ghost ticket, so that he suddenly died of illness within a few days."
Then he looked at Xiaoqian: "And the person who was cursed to death was you in the past."
Lu Bing froze.
Xiaoqian was dumbfounded.
But after reacting, she didn't deny it immediately. Instead, her body trembled, and the chaotic pictures in her mind that couldn't be pieced together were finally integrated.
…
"Mother Concubine...Mother Concubine...wuwuwu...you...who are you?"
"I am a person who sympathizes with Concubine Cao Duan. She died
It’s too miserable, give it!”
"What is this?"
"These are ghost tickets, not ordinary paper money. With these ghost tickets, your mother and concubine can live a truly good life in the underworld. Accept it!"
"Ming Piao...baby...thank you!"
…
"I have made arrangements. Your mother-in-law is living a good life in the underworld, but she wants revenge..."
"I...I can't do it..."
"I can do it. Do you really hate the Queen? She killed your mother-in-law and tortured you in every possible way. If it hadn't been for Your Majesty, you would have been killed by her!"
"Of course I hate her..."
"Just wait, you will get what you want in three months!"
…
"Did you set that fire?"
"Of course I let it go. I did this for you. Should you repay me?"
"Damn it! Damn it! What do you want me to do?"
"Take these ghost tickets, and one day you will know!"
…
"Brother Prince? No! No..."
"Think about your father. Not only did he not avenge your mother and concubine, but he also supported that poisonous woman as his first concubine. He only cared about himself. Is there any kinship in his heart? Don't you hate it?"
"..."
"Use the method I taught you to make your father feel heartbroken on the day of the Crown Prince's crowning, so that your mother and concubine can truly smile!"
"..."
"Take it! Don't take it yet!!"
…
I don't know when Xiaoqian burst into tears: "I used the ghost ticket to curse the prince brother to death?"
Lu Bing trembled: "Then the prince's ghost used Huang Yu Ruyi to kill the princess?"
Li Yan's breath comforted Xiaoqian, and he said coldly: "Although many details are still uncertain, the most consistent clue is this possibility."
"This is why Princess Wan Sheng repeatedly emphasized that she was unwilling to bear the huge karmic backlash and that she neither killed the prince nor the princess. This is only half right..."
"She didn't do it herself, but she arranged an extremely vicious situation, letting the prince and princess kill each other and harvest their souls."
Cause and effect karma has primary causes and secondary causes. If everything is investigated, everything will always be connected, and the limitations on living beings will be too great. Therefore, the intuitive primary cause is the key, and the influence of unintentional secondary causes will be much smaller.
The combination of the underworld ticket and the chaotic underworld is just a clever way to do it.
Whoever uses the underworld ticket to bribe the officials of the underworld and shorten the life span of the target will have his moral character damaged, but the creator and instigator of the underworld ticket can escape responsibility...
So Princess Wan Sheng initially planned to let Tao Shi'en curse Lu Bing, and later simply let Shinji Nori curse Li Yan to death. Anyway, no matter whether she succeeded or not, the blood would not be splashed on her body.
This is naturally a loophole, but the operation of any system cannot be perfect. What's more, the world today is still in filth. It is not easy to maintain a rough rule framework. If you want to achieve absolute good and evil,
Retribution is simply unrealistic.
"You were young at that time and were taken advantage of by thieves. Fortunately, the prince's soul was finally rescued by you. Now you still have to find out who the thieves were who guided and bewitched you throughout the whole process?"
"Princess Wan Sheng cannot realize that although her current Tao Zhongwen can enter and leave the palace, he is always refining elixirs and imparting martial arts to His Majesty in the front hall, and it is impossible for him to set foot in the harem."
"The person who can handle this must be ruthless and ruthless, have no respect for the imperial power, and be a core figure among those who know the truth."
After hearing these words, Xiaoqian still couldn't stop crying. Lu Bing was shocked and suddenly realized: "Long Po?"
Li Yan looked into the deep palace with cold eyes: "That's right! Long Po was not in the canal at all, but had been hiding in the palace. He single-handedly contributed to the death of the prince and princess. This is what Princess Wan Sheng tried to cover up.
