In the past hundred years, the Southern Xinjiang court was experiencing great internal turmoil for the first time!
Twenty-three high-ranking members of the imperial court joined forces and were sentenced to beheading for disobeying the rebels. Originally, this was a major crime against the nine clans, but His Highness the Crown Prince repeatedly begged for mercy. The crime was not as bad as that of his family, but most of the family property was confiscated and the family members were sent back to their place of origin.
While people are panicking, there are also more people who sincerely support Yin Li.
In the Regent's Mansion of Southern Xinjiang, half a month has passed since the day of Yin Xuanmo's wedding and the incident.
In the east palace courtyard where the princess lived, Amei walked in hurriedly.
The moment she saw her young lady, the current regent, Amei shivered again.
"Princess, people in the palace have come to tell you that the prince and the prince will not go back to the house for dinner today. Please don't wait for them."
After saying this, Amei lowered her head and did not dare to look at Shi Qingqing's face.
Suddenly, there was a 'bang' sound, and a table of food was overturned and shattered all over the floor.
Amei was startled and immediately ran to close the door.
He returned and knelt down with a plop, "Princess, calm down!"
Shi Qingqing, who was dressed up like gold and had a face as bright as water and lotus, looked at Amei with a smile, "Amei, you are really interesting. Coming in as a dowry maid, my courage has become less. It makes me very curious."
Shi Qingqing narrowed her eyes, "What's the matter? You are so cautious in your words and deeds. Are you thinking that one day you can become a concubine or something like that?"
Amei kowtowed, "Princess, I have never had this intention! If I had this intention, I would be struck by lightning and die!"
The young lady in the past also made her awed, but not afraid. The young lady now makes her afraid!
From the day the young lady and the prince got married...
That day, after Shi Qingqing and Yin Xuanmo paid homage to their cousin, Amei accompanied Shi Qingqing and waited in the wedding room. When they heard unusual noises outside and were about to go out to have a look, Yin Xuanmo's guard appeared at the door, asking them to stay in the room temporarily.
move.
That night, Yin Xuanmo just sent someone to tell him that he would not return to his room tonight and asked Shi Qingqing not to wait.
Shi Qingqing didn't think much about it immediately because something happened outside.
Shi Qingqing doesn't know the details of those court officials who caused trouble, but the dowry mama has some information about them.
Yin Xuanmo had something serious to do, or something important like this, and he didn't mean to neglect her.
So Yin Xuanmo didn't return home for three consecutive days and Shi Qingqing didn't think much about it. The next day when Yin Li came to visit her, she was able to put on the most appropriate expression and give him a gift.
On the day of Sanchao's return, Yin Xuanmo was still busy, but the housekeeper prepared generous gifts for the return ceremony and gave the princess enough face and style. Shi Qingqing was quite satisfied in her heart.
As soon as Shi Qingqing returned to Tai Tu's house, Shi Tai Fu asked her to go to the study.
From the words of the master, Shi Qingqing finally found out everything about the wedding day.
Some people in the court disapproved of Yin Li taking that position in the future, but Yin Xuanmo's decision could not be changed.
The twenty-three imprisoned court officials were really not disloyal, it was because they were obsessed with the country in southern Xinjiang that they did what happened at the wedding banquet.
They set up a game, a game that could kill Yin Li. Su Yi just happened by the way.
In order to manipulate Yin Xuanmo and other courtiers such as the Prime Minister under the nose, they even leaked the latest military and defense map of the battle against Annan.
After the defeat on the battlefield there, Yin Xuanmo and the Southern Xinjiang court turned their attention to the leakage of the military defense map and the tragic defeat on the battlefield, and they accelerated various arrangements and actions here.
They selected some dead men and tried their best to sneak into the houses of various imperial officials to work.
He also spent a lot of effort to figure out two poisons.
No, it should be said that separation is not poison. Because on the day of Yin Xuanmo's wedding, the guests entering the house, even the courtiers, had to cooperate with the inspection. It was simply unrealistic to bring a large amount of poison in, and it would be easy to be seen through early.
What's more, there are many doctors and doctors who are good at poisoning in this kind of situation. As long as the poison appears, it will be easily noticed by others.
So one of the so-called poisons is just normal food.
It wasn't something they sent to the palace, it was an ingredient that was already prepared at the palace's wedding banquet.
All things are interdependent.
Those twenty-three people had a specialist conduct research and finally discovered that the ingredient was mutually exclusive with a certain floral fragrance. Anyone who ate the ingredient and smelled that floral fragrance would inevitably become weak and lose all their strength in a short period of time!
Although that flower is rare in southern Xinjiang because it has a strange taste and few people use it, it is not used by no one occasionally, and it is not strange.
In the past, others didn't know that the main reason is that the ingredients are very special and cannot be eaten by ordinary people.
The arrangement of the twenty-three courtiers was also flawless, allowing the dead men who had sneaked into each courtier's house to attend the wedding banquet with the courtiers, wearing what looked like an ordinary sachet on their body.
People in southern Xinjiang love sachets, and the materials in many sachets can also repel insects and snakes.
I love them regardless of their status, so it’s not surprising at all.
No poison was detected, and the flower-scented powder was brought into the palace smoothly.
At the previous wedding banquet, after the servants who came with the Prime Minister came to find the Prime Minister in the venue, the poison began to take effect. That was because the servants saw the right time and smeared the fragrant powder on their bodies.
The smell of the fragrant powder spread, and by then the courtiers had almost finished eating, and their bodies reacted instantly.
Those dead soldiers had no intention of killing Yin Xuanmo and Qian Yuse, the Empress Fengluan. Their targets were only Yin Li and Su Yi.
Of course, Yin Li is the main one.
Those dead soldiers did not have the characteristics of southern Xinjiang people, only the characteristics of "Annan" people.
The twenty-three courtiers had arranged the identities of the dead soldiers perfectly. Regardless of success or failure, all kinds of 'evidence' would point to Annan.
Originally everything seemed believable and well arranged.
Who knew that the military defense map was leaked and after the defeat in the border battle, Yin Xuanmo accidentally brought out some clues because of his inspection of the military defense map. Once he checked the military defense map, he figured out the plans of these courtiers.
The arrangement of the twenty-three courtiers was such that the wedding banquet was at the right time, place and time, and it was also the time when the courtiers and guards were at their most relaxed and on guard.
Who would have known that Yin Xuanmo would come and use his tactics!
In the first few days, Yin Xuanmo was still detaining and controlling everyone who might be close to the "military defense plan", which was just an illusion to confuse the courtiers.
After Shi Qingqing heard this from her master, she looked calm and calm, but deep down she was in turmoil.
Twenty-three wine bags and rice bags, why did it fail?
At this moment, Amei thought of these things and lowered her head, "Miss, the master told you to..."
In a hurry, the princess changed her name and called her "Miss" again.
"Taifu? Amei, you really listen to your grandfather's words. In that case, how about I send you back to Taifu's house to serve my grandfather?"
Amei kowtowed again and again.
She didn't understand why the young lady who had always remained calm had become so twisted recently.
Even if she knew that this was not a wise move, how could such a smart young lady not know this?
Shi Qingqing sneered, her smile not reaching her eyes.
Amei knelt down so hard that her head broke, but she still had to say something, "You are already the princess of Southern Xinjiang known to the world, you..." Why bother...
"roll."
Shi Qingqing is indifferent in one word.
Amei was startled for a moment, then shrank and retreated slowly.
After Amei went out, the dowry mother who was guarding the door skillfully took her to a house in front and skillfully treated the wound on her forehead.
He silently knocked and said, "Amei, don't blame the princess. The princess is feeling bitter. The Taifu asked us to follow the princess, so we must help the village princess wholeheartedly."
"Mommy, I know. I followed the princess since I was a child, how can I blame her?"
"Oh, it's good that you understand. The princess has been in a bad mood recently. As someone who is closely attentive to her, you should be more responsible."
Amei nodded.
Mammy sighed again, "A proud daughter like us, the princess, has been looked down upon in every way since she met the regent. How can the princess bear this tone? Especially this time, those courtiers have made trouble. How many times have they been looked down upon?
It's a dangerous thing. Even if it's all under the control of the regent, you don't have to worry about something like this just in case."
"Here at the wedding banquet, the regent himself, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Empress Fengluan and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Could it be that the lives of so many people are no more than that of one Su Yi? But in order to protect that Su Yi, the regent actually put him to death
The most capable and trustworthy guards are arranged beside Su Yi..."
"With the princess's attitude, she is not more important than a maid in the heart of the regent. How can she bear this..."
Amei forced a smile and said, "Mommy, I know."
But she sneered in her heart, who said she was a maid?
Of course it is appropriate to be beaten and scolded.
But that Suyi is also a maid, but she can fly up a branch and turn into a phoenix!
The oath she swore before was true. She, Amei, was not that stupid person who was too ambitious. She really had no idea about this wise regent in southern Xinjiang.
But there are always other royal relatives and nobles in the southern Xinjiang royal family. As long as she can be favored by any of those royal relatives and nobles, how can she, Amei, fly to the branches?
Now that she is following Shi Qingqing, she is just using her as a springboard to get close to the royal family and nobles!
"Go and quietly clean up the broken food in the princess's room. I'll guard here and don't let anyone get close to her," said the nanny.
Amei nodded and returned seemingly respectfully.
At this moment, another part of the Regent's Palace.
Su Yi and A Duo had just finished eating. After eating, Su Yi washed up early and went to bed, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
She has now pieced together an outline of the incident that happened half a month ago.
Thinking of the clean room in her cell, she heard something strange outside in the clean room and was about to go out to take a look, but suddenly the wall inside the clean room opened.
opened!
There is a secret door there!
Then she was stuffed into the secret door, and the two guards who came out of the secret door fought with the masked man who rushed in from outside.
Later, after various wars and chaos, Su Yi realized that Yin Xuanmo had long known what the courtiers were doing secretly, and had deliberately placed her in that cell with a secret door.
Yin Xuanmo guessed early on that someone was going to kill her and was... protecting her?
Ah bah bah bah!
That's all Yin Xuanmo's business.
In short, it has been half a month since the accident. Su Yi, let alone Yin Xuanmo, has only seen Yin Li once.
It is certain that father and son are very busy.
After all, the rebellion by more than 20 ministers has been widely implicated. There will also be a lot of things to deal with in the follow-up.
Su Yi thought of the time she met Yin Li. He was obviously a small and cute child, but there was already a faint temperament of perseverance in his eyes.
"Sister Suyi, I don't know whether my choice to return to southern Xinjiang is right or wrong."
Yin Li smiled and said, "Sister Suyi, do you know that because they were dissatisfied with my father's cultivation of me, those twenty-three courtiers committed the crime. That's why they leaked the military defense plan, and even many men in southern Xinjiang were exposed.
They died in vain on the battlefield. In return, they lost their own lives."
Su Yi straightened the little boy upright, looking at her big eyes with great seriousness, "Li'er, Miss said that any throne in the world is made of bones, there is no exception."
"The only thing the person sitting on the throne can do is to prevent the bones under his feet from weeping day and night, and to let them see that you will stand in that position and lead Southern Xinjiang to a prosperous age! As they wish!"
The little boy was stunned and felt a heat surge in his chest.
My nose and eyes were also sore, "Can I?"
"Of course you can! You are Miss, Miss Yu Sebiao, Miss Jiuer, and Prince Yin, the person we all value. We all think you can do it!"
"Besides, didn't you do a good job this time, Li'er?"
Su Yi said sincerely, "I don't know how to govern a country or how to balance power for the king. But Li'er, you interceded for those twenty-three courtiers, didn't you? You saved their families and left them with
He gave away part of the family property that he could use to live on, and gave most of the family property of those adults to the relatives of those soldiers who died on the border."
"The right and wrong here are difficult to judge by our ordinary people's standards. But, Li'er, you will definitely be able to give them a prosperous and peaceful life, and you will not let their death be in vain. I firmly believe it!"
The girl's tone was not serious, but sonorous and powerful.
She didn't just say nice things, she believed it in her bones.
Outside the courtyard, a man in black robe stood silently.
Then he left without a sound.
After leaving the house without alerting anyone, the blue guard who was following the black-robed man, Yin Xuanmo, pressed the corners of his eyes, with a look in his eyes, "My lord, you can rest assured, His Royal Highness's recent knot of heart should be resolved."
The girl in plain clothes really doesn't look like an ordinary maid.
The girl in plain clothes is really a treasure girl...
In short, Su Yi, the treasure girl in Lan Wei's heart, is now thinking about how to leave southern Xinjiang.
Su Yi, who was lying on the bed at this moment, sighed secretly.
After the conversation that day, she never saw Yin Li's son again.
But she felt that Prince Yin Li might not need her much anymore. When Prince Yin Li left, she had a strong intuition that he could really take charge of his own business.
So Suyi doesn't have to worry too much about this now.
What she doesn't understand now is that Miss Shi has been a princess for half a month, so why is there no sound at all?
Although the teacher lady was very elegant, profound, and calm and polite, Su Yi felt that the teacher lady did have a sense of superiority and pride in her bones.
It is unlikely that such a proud person would regard her as the object of jealousy, but he will definitely feel that a maid like her is not worthy of being in this palace, and as Yin Xuanmo's 'woman' like her.
Cough cough cough, although I feel a little sick of the cold.
But that's the truth.
Why hasn’t Ms. Shi made any sign or action yet?
Before, Miss Shi was considered an eyesore when she was not the princess. Now that Miss Shi is the princess, and Yin Xuanmo and the others are so busy, this is a great opportunity!
Su Yi was angry that she wouldn't argue, what did Miss Shi think?
It’s true that I didn’t seize such a good opportunity.
Su Yi tossed and turned for a long time before she fell asleep. It felt like she had just closed her eyes when she heard A Duo's unusual voice calling her.
What? Miss Shi?
Su Yi sat up straight, it was already bright outside.
"Sister Aduo, what did you say?"
"Girl, master... no, the princess brought some gifts and came here in person. Now she is waiting for you in the living room!"
ah!
You heard that right!
I was still thinking about it last night, and now it’s here.
Su Yi suppressed her excitement and quickly dressed and washed up to go out.
Shi Qingqing is sitting on the main seat, looking luxurious and dignified.
Seeing Su Yi appear, she gently put down the tea cup in her hand and said with a smile, "Sister Su Yi."
This tone and this title made Su Yi's feet dodge in shock and he almost fell down.
