Xiao Muting reached out and held her hand tightly, nodded lightly and said: "Aunt Hui was one of the most powerful people around my mother during her lifetime. She was also her married maid. She also watched me and Yan'er grow up from birth to adulthood.
Big people.”
Su Han nodded: "It can be seen that she must be a very kind person, and she is very brave and loyal. It is not easy for her to wait until now."
Xiao Muting pursed her lips and nodded: "Mommy must have suffered a lot..."
At this moment, Grandma Hui, who was writing, was shaking her head, but her writing movements were not delayed at all.
Su Han stretched his head over and looked at the written piece of paper in Xiao Muting's hand. What was written on it was exactly what happened that year.
"After the quarrel between the Emperor and His Highness, the Queen was extremely worried. She not only understood the Emperor's thoughts, but also understood His Highness's thoughts. She didn't want to force His Highness to do something he didn't like, but she also didn't want to disappoint the Emperor, because looking at the time
Of all the princes, the one who can take on such a great responsibility must be Your Highness. She doesn’t want your father and son to be separated because of this matter, so the queen persuaded the emperor that it would be better to establish a testament first. When the day comes, Your Highness is watching.
When it came to this final edict, she had no choice but to obey it. At that time, the queen also said with a smile that the emperor loves His Highness the most and understands His Highness's thoughts. It is best to let His Highness be free outside for a few more years and let the Emperor help.
Your Highness took care of the Holy Qin for a while, and the Emperor was so happy that he drafted two copies of his will on the same day!"
Seeing this, Su Han looked at Xiao Muting in surprise and asked in disbelief: "Is there still two copies of the imperial edict?"
Xiao Muting naturally didn't know, and shook his head slightly: "Although my father is always strict and unsmiling in court, in private, he has many tricks, and there is nothing he can't do that we, the princes, can't think of.
of."
"That's not right. If there are two testaments, then we only found one. Where is the other?" Su Han wrinkled his face and asked.
Xiao Muting shook his head, then took another piece of paper written by Aunt Hui and read it:
"Ever since His Highness went on the expedition, the Emperor has been extremely worried, because the Emperor has sensed something fishy. There are wars in the southwest every year, but those barbarians only make more bluffs and don't make any big moves at all. How can such a large army attack?
The capture of the three cities of Sheng Qin was unprecedented. In addition, the emperor also received a battle report. The officers and soldiers defending the city suffered few casualties, but the civilians in the city suffered numerous casualties. The emperor was even more worried, and during that time, he heard
There are some rumors, the first one is that His Royal Highness Prince Li has a private army of about 300,000, and the second one is Prince Rong, who has contacts with Emperor Long An, and is very close to Dr. Su from the imperial hospital."
Xiao Muting was a little nervous and squeezed Su Han's hand, but she gently patted the back of his hand twice and said very calmly: "So, my father has long been aware of Xiao Muyun's strange movements.
But why is there still something about paying homage to Brother Wang? Could it be that... He also had an idea at that time, but his actions were not as fast as Xiao Muyun's, so... His dissatisfaction was not because his father died unexpectedly, but because he didn't have time to take action!
"
Xiao Muting nodded, but still stared at the change of expression on her face.
Su Han curled his lips slightly and said: "I really admire my father now. He is a wise man with uncanny calculations, but I still don't understand. Since he has already noticed it, why didn't he take precautions?
How could Xiao Muchun succeed so easily?"
Xiao Muting looked at Aunt Hui again. At this time, she had already written another one, put it on the table, and continued writing.
He took it over, raised it higher, and looked at it together with Su Han:
"The emperor was particularly worried about the safety of His Highness. He secretly dispatched people from Qi Qiu Pavilion to clean up the troops stationed by King Li. He summoned King Li into the palace and specially ordered him to accompany the emperor to attend the birthday ceremony of the ancestor emperor. This move is also for
Stabilizing His Royal Highness Prince Li, who had the troops in hand, made everyone think that Prince Li was expected to be the crown prince. As expected, Prince Li was overjoyed and did not care about the loss of troops at all. However, no one expected that the emperor would sacrifice himself.
After that, he began to feel unwell and often had symptoms of dizziness. Someone from the Imperial Hospital came to treat the emperor, but the emperor kicked him out because the person who came was none other than Su Wenbin, Imperial Physician Su, and the Queen, who were very close to King Rong.
Seeing this, he sent someone to find a doctor outside the palace and secretly brought him to the palace to see the emperor. But just when the emperor took a few medicines and felt better, Prince Rong came into the palace and had a big quarrel with the emperor.
The emperor fainted immediately, and people from the imperial hospital immediately treated him. After the emperor woke up, Prince Rong took his two grandsons into the palace on the pretext that he was ill. In less than a day, he ordered
The city defense battalion, run by Xia Yunkai, took over the authority of the Royal Forest Army, and the entire palace changed... All the concubines in the harem were under guard, and even the queen was not allowed to enter the Yangxin Palace and could not see the emperor at all.
At this time, the queen knew that something big might happen!"
Xiao Muting's lips trembled slightly as he said: "So, it turns out that my father and mother had already anticipated this, but they still failed to resist these people's wild ambitions."
Su Han muttered: "Xia Yunkai?"
Xiao Muting explained to her: "Xia Huan's third son, who was also the younger brother of Queen Xia, later became the commander of the Royal Forest Army after Xiao Muyun ascended the throne. However, he only served as commander for five years before he died unexpectedly in Tailing Lake. It is said that he was drunk from a drunken accident.
He jumped into the lake on the bridge and drowned himself, but insiders said he was poisoned, and the poison was called Qianri Zui."
"Thousands of days of drunkenness!" Su Han's eyes widened unexpectedly, and he suddenly said: "It is really Su Wenbin's handiwork. I have seen this poison in the Poison Book..."
At this time, Aunt Hui had finished writing. After handing over the best piece of paper, she immediately stood up from the chair and stood there very politely.
After Xiao Muting looked at it, he raised his head and looked at her: "Aunt Hui, you have suffered a lot. Thank you for staying here. Once this matter is over, please leave with me."
Aunt Hui nodded indiscriminately, covered her face with her dirty sleeves, and cried softly with her whole body shaking, but only after a while, she put her hands down and pointed outside the room and made a "woohoo" sound.
.
Su Han watched her gestures carefully and then said, "What do you mean, what do you want to take us to find?"
Aunt Hui nodded vigorously to her with eyes full of expectation, and then pointed outside the room.
The group of people followed her to a small side room at the back wall of the palace. This was the small utility room in the palace. Aunt Hui entered the room familiarly and pushed open a crack in the cabinet where the damaged utensils were piled.
Finally, a hole that could accommodate one person appeared between the wall and the ground. After she quickly got in, a candle lighted up inside. Just half a quarter of an hour later, she came out of the hole again.
He got out of it, and he was holding a gray cloth bag in his arms.
When it was opened, it was a cloth bag wrapped in bright yellow dragon pattern cloth. When it was opened again, it turned out to be an imperial edict!
"It turns out that this second testament is in the hands of grandma!" Su Han said in surprise.
Aunt Hui shook her head and waved her hands, then started gesturing again.
After reading it, Su Han said to Xiao Muting, who was waiting to hear her translation: "This was originally in the hands of the queen mother. After learning that the situation was wrong, she gave it to Aunt Hui and asked him to hide it, and she also
It is because of this that she has lived strong until now. She dug this hole, and she has been hiding here for so many years."
"Mommy!" Xiao Muting called out sadly and gratefully.
Aunt Hui waved her hands again, shook her head, and then began to sign again. Her eyes were filled with tears of joy as she stared at Xiao Muting.
"Qi Wei sends Nanny Hui out of the tunnel first. I am going to see Xiao Muchun!" Xiao Muting held the edict tightly in his hand and said.
