Chapter 713

The palace was calm and calm. Emperor Yongping was very sad for the death of his concubine. He stopped the court for three days and ordered her to stop working for twenty-one days. All the concubines under the concubine's rank went to mourn.

Emperor Yongping made a demonstration in person. He got up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a chicken every day. Anyway, many ministers and imperial censors took the lead and asked emperor Yongping to pay their respects. They were afraid that he would go mad after the emperor.

Fortunately, the most terrible thing didn't happen.

Although emperor Yongping was not in a good state after going to court, he did not cry like the Emperor himself.

It's still in the normal range.

It's just calm, it's just superficial calm, and it didn't come to the stage. After several days of thinking about the death of he Shufei, Emperor Yongping finally made up his mind to thoroughly investigate it. But no matter what happened to Princess Chu or empress Xiao, he was not at ease. He was simply controlled by Duofu around him, and all the relevant clues were reported to him.

As a result, he really went to Xie Xian's original words and found out where he died. In the end, all he could find out was that the hanged eunuch was called by Empress Xiao when she entered the palace.

But this is no evidence. The people who empress Xiao dialed were more or less chased out by he Shufei with various excuses and didn't stay in her palace. Only the little eunuch and the maid next to her went up all the way, which was very popular with he Shufei.

Emperor Yongping had reason to believe that the two men left by he Shufei were probably from the he family in the palace.

In fact, empress Xiao did not exist and had plans in the palace. After all, xiaojiashan was far away from the power center of Jiankang city for many years. It's just that when Emperor Yuheng chose his concubine, there was no unmarried young lady of the same age in every family. The Xiao family was building Kangcheng, which was a piece of paper. Especially in the changeable harem, even Princess he Shufei might be more powerful than empress Xiao.

The only thing queen Xiao can rely on is the Xie family.

But Xie Jiahui did his best for Empress Xiao. At the beginning, he would not have fallen into the way of others.

Obviously, either the Xie family didn't arrange anyone in the harem, or the Xie family didn't dedicate their power to empress Xiao——

The former is just like a tiger saying that he is a vegetarian. It's pure fantasy.

Yongping emperor of course is more inclined to the latter, so what happened to he Shufei is the least suspect of empress Xiao. Of course, it cannot be completely ruled out. In fact, Emperor Yongping doesn't believe anyone now.

He didn't believe Xie Xian, the queen, the empress dowager, the king of Huaiyang, the king of Jiangxia, or even the princess of Xuancheng.

Maybe the princess Xuancheng is very affectionate and can't play with those scheming things, but after getting married, who can guarantee that she won't be inclined to the Xiao family? After all, in front of the public, the princess Xuancheng has no secret of Xiao Baoshu's ambiguous and careful thinking. You can imagine how excited she is.

Moreover, a Xuancheng, a xiaobaoshu, no matter how much trust he has, they can not help him.

All in all, those who have a good IQ don't have much hope.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Twenty one days later, he Shufei moved out of the palace and was buried. The evidence clues from Duofu newspaper point to empress Xiao.

Emperor Yongping personally went to Jiaofang hall and handed the evidence to empress Xiao.

After his death, even if the emperor wanted to return the imperial power to the empress, empress Xiao still refused again and again. On the one hand, she felt ill and on the other hand, she wanted to keep filial piety for her father, so she didn't go out of the palace on weekdays. She seldom even asked the Empress Dowager for an.

If empress Xiao used to be dignified and high spirited, now her slightly yellow face makes her describe that she is depressed, and her eyes have lost their old look. She looks haggard and ugly.

Emperor Yongping's heart suddenly softened.

Which little girl doesn't love beauty? Xiao's situation is obviously heartbroken. It's just his own guess.

As if all the previous evidence pointed to Chu Guifei, but she was led to Jiaofang hall.

First of all, the empress was not aware of her birth, and now the evidence has been planted on her head. How many people behind her don't want empress Xiao to be in the imperial palace? How much do they want to get rid of her?

"Zitong, do you understand?" He asked.

After reading all the evidence carefully, empress Xiao looked down, and her face was tired.

"Your Majesty," she gently knelt down to the ground, "it's not me... I've lost more than one child myself... How can I lay hands on the child in the belly of Qi de Fei and he Shu Fei?"

"Before I went to the palace, my father told me that I was beautiful and talented, but I had only good moral character. And moral character is the foundation of life. I will never forget it. "

"However, the emperor ordered his majesty to marry me, but it was a balance of power in many ways. Even if I have any more shortcomings, as long as I don't do anything immoral and angry, your majesty will never abandon me. I will always be the queen. "

If the former is the father's instruction and expectation to his daughter, then the latter is the choice after weighing.

Empress Xiao told emperor Yongping about her father's and daughter's plans at this time, apparently showing him all the cards.

As for whether he believed it or not, it was the emperor's choice.

"I can't refute the evidence. But I swear to your majesty with my conscience, it's not me. No matter how insane I am, I am also a woman and a mother. Although the child was not born, I will not have another child anyway. Moreover, if your majesty doesn't like to hear it, Princess Qi de can threaten no one, and she can't threaten me. I'm the queen of nakagi, and I was born the legitimate son of nakagi. Why do I bother to attack her... "

"Whether it's Princess Qi De, Princess he Shu, Princess Chu, or even Princess pan Xian, they are no more powerful than our Xiao family in the construction of Kangcheng. The harem says that I'm in power. In fact, there are fewer cases of betrayal behind the scenes?"

At last she sighed.

"Sire, I'm only 15 years old, but I've lost two children... I'm not in the mood for those things..."

After that, he lowered his head with a tired face, which is no longer too lazy to argue. I love to believe it or not.

Emperor Yongping took empress Xiao and held her hand tightly.

"We are in the same situation." He laughs bitterly and resonates with his queen inexplicably.

"I am the emperor of Daliang. But if you look around, whether it's the Xie family or the Xiao family, or even the Chu, Chi and he families, which one is not playing games and checks and balances with each other? How can I ever be the master?

"Zitong."

"Ah Ning," emperor Yongping looked at empress Xiao deeply, "if I don't believe you, I won't put these in front of you to show you."
