Chapter 550

“There is news on the whereabouts of the Jingmin County Lord.” Su Bo Feng said with a not so good look on his face, “The person who snatched her before us was the Liu Family’s ‘Inkblade’, and it is said that the one in charge of this matter had earlier stayed by the side of the Jing Min County Lord for a good while in a capacity similar to that of a ‘righteous brother’ so that he was able to get the Jing Min County Lord out of the city without alerting anyone. for a whileso it was possible to get Jingmin County Lord out of the city without alerting anyone.”

There was a pause, “But they’ve now sent the man to Marquis Yan’s residence, what do you think this means, Second Uncle?”

“Marquis Yan has no reason to abandon King Su.” Su Shaoge said this before asking, “Do you know why the Liu family picked up County Lord Jingmin at that time?”

Su Bofeng heatedly said, “This is exactly where I think things are serious: I suspect that Burning Quinoa Hall knew about He Lou Duhan’s identity early on!”

“That’s impossible!” Su Shaoge frowned and said, “Even your seventh aunt doesn’t know He Lou Duhan’s background!”

Fufeng Hall in the past two years is not a lot of heirs, before the big house and stay in Qingzhou, the imperial capital side, Jigong knee only Su Shaoge a son as a helper, inevitably there are busy times.

Although Su Shao Ling is a daughter, but calm temperament, acting with rules and regulations, unlike sister Su Shao Mal as staggering call people do not feel at ease, has always been very much the trust of the father and brother. So in the cabinet before, participated in the Su family many confidential things.

Rather, He Lou Duhan, the pawn, from Duke Jiguo to Su Shaoge, had not told her it was not just that they could not trust Su Shaoling, because even Su Bofeng, the first eldest grandson of the Su family and the future master of Fufeng Hall, was only told the truth after the assassination of the Crown Prince!

Before this, he had likewise thought that He Lou Duhan was only Gu Shao’s direct grandson, having nothing to do with his own family, and could even be said to be a political enemy.

It was evident that the Su family had kept this secret son a secret.

The Liu family and the Su family said that the ancestors have old, but since the Liu family merged to guard the tomb, the first branch of the two families have not come and gone for decades, and how much of the friendship of the earlier years is still there now?

Not to mention that such a secret can’t be known just by being on good terms.

However, to say that Burning Quinoa Hall was coincidentally picking up Pei You Rui, this timing is too coincidental, right?

That is right next to He Lou Duhan go out, Su Shaoge personally sent the beloved to go, this in the middle of so little gap …

Who can believe it when they say the Liu family doesn’t know anything?

Su Shaoge pondered for a moment, his gaze suddenly condensed, and his face became ugly, “The Liu family is by no means likely to know such a secret, however, Old Lady Duanmu …”

Su Bo Feng sighed and said, “I also suspect this old madam after all, Gu Shao only took He Lou Duhan to his side to cultivate him after he was dismissed from his post and returned to his hometown. There weren’t many people who paid attention to him at that time, and the only one who paid attention to the extent of realizing that He Lou Duhan was our family’s secret son was Old Lady Duanmu!”

Speaking of which, the Su family was also implicated by Jane Ping Yu:

Because at that time Gu Shao was driven away by Jian Ping Yu, even if there was a consideration in there that Emperor Xian Jia wished to leave him for his own son’s use, at least on the surface it seemed that he was defeated in the hands of Jian Ping Yu.

And he’s not on good terms with Jane Ping Yu.

The old lady Duanmu due to her sister as well as nephew’s encounter, has always regarded Jane Ping Yu as a thorn in the flesh, at that time, although she was far away from the Seychelles, but day or forget this hatred at that time, Jane Ping Yu’s position is very important people like the sky, the old lady can’t deal with him directly, naturally, will take into account the unity of his political rivals.

Probably because in Old Lady Duanmu’s opinion, Emperor Xianjia, who had broken his word to her, wasn’t a good person either.

So although she found out that Helou Dokhan is the Su family planted in Gu Shao’s side of the dark child, but because of Gu Shao’s loyalty to the Emperor Xianjia, the old lady not only did not remind him, but let this chess piece in Gu Shao’s careful cultivation of growth, and then give Gu Shao a fatal blow along the way to the Emperor Xianjia’s efforts to help the Emperor’s father and son of the end of the Huayu Emperor a pit! In the end!

… It really is, any way you think about it, only this old lady has the motive and the ability and the opportunity to do so.

Su family uncle and nephew relative silence for a moment, Su Shaoge slowly opened his mouth, “Since the old lady has long known that He Lou Duhan is my Su family ‘Dai Feng’ origin, but has always been happy to see it, obviously did not block the Su king’s intention to ascend the throne. In this case, at this very moment, it is not appropriate to infighting, and pretend to be confused, after the dust settles, then talk with her old man!”

Su Bofeng did not quite agree, he reminded, ”Second Uncle, Old Madame Duanmu is very old and has no biological sons or grandsons, all she is planning for is for the Marquis Yan’s sake, apart from revenge against the late Emperor and the Dowager Empress! Now that Burning Quinoa Hall has also sent Lord Jingmin to the Marquis of Yan I suspect that the old madam is planning for the wealth of the Marquis of Yan after King Su ascends to the throne! We’ve worked so hard for so many years, how can we let the Marquis Yan Mansion sit back and enjoy the spoils?!”

“What you said makes sense, but, is now the time to count on this?” Su Shaoge exhaled and said in a slow voice, “Besides, it’s not like you don’t know what King Su is like, he’s not His Majesty, he’s not someone who would cross the river and tear down the bridge.”

That is in the end the royal son taught by their Su family.

Emperor Xianjia could certainly be called a wise ruler, but when it came to teaching children, Su Shaoge truly didn’t feel that he was qualified to compare with the Su family.

After all, it had only been three years since Emperor Xianjia’s death, and the son he had devoted his life’s work to was already in a situation where his reputation was in tatters.

And the illustrious history of the Su family throughout several dynasties is proof enough of the success of their family in teaching their children!

Su Bofeng was silent for a while and said, “Since Second Uncle has said so, then I have nothing to say.”

He is the king’s blood cousin nephew, in fact, because he grew up in Qingzhou since childhood, uncle and nephew two did not get along, naturally, it is impossible to seem like Su Shaoge as trust the king.

Su Shaoge could see his concern and wanted to enlighten him, but after thinking about it, he only said, “Let’s rethink about tomorrow morning’s court meeting, what else do we need to prepare?”

At about the same time, within the Imperial City, the Qi Treasure Palace.

The door of the bedchamber suddenly opened, and the heavy embroidered curtain was swept up by the rush of wind brought up by the visitor, and only after it fluttered up into midair, it was already roughly lifted away by a pair of arms.

It was accompanied by a sharp cry, “Mamma! Niangniang! Your Highness, get up quickly, concubine Xue’s master’s palace maid has come over to say something that you must know immediately!”

He Xiuyi was forcibly shaken awake from her sweet slumber and had a moment of bewilderment, “Concubine Xue? What happened to her?”

“Master Xue’s palace maid said that Master Xue seems to have light thoughts of life!” The maid spoke on one side and twisted a cold handkerchief from a water basin not far away and put it on He Xiuyi’s face the icy touch made He Xiuyi subconsciously shiver, and the person instantly sobered up and was surprised, “She’s going to lighten her life? She … how could she suddenly think so?!”

In the past two days, perhaps because of the realization that He Xiuyi was alone with a retreat, the newcomers who had entered the palace at the same time had stopped associating with her.

Even Tian Baolin, who was the most honest and used to be the most respectful to her.

And He Xiuyi was too embarrassed to take the initiative to find them because of his guilt and weakness.

But even so, He Xiuyi remembered that the last time she saw Xue concubines, Xue concubines still behave as usual this is only separated for how long, how Xue concubines suddenly have to think about it?

To put it bluntly, the Duanhua Emperor’s reputation has been destroyed for a number of days now, and since he has survived up to now without taking the narrow road, how could he not wait for this last period of time?

Maybe the end result is acceptable?

“That palace maid said that concubine Xue specially made many meals with her own hands this noon, packed them in a food box, and carried them to Xuanming Palace to ask for an audience.” The maid threw the handkerchief back into the water basin and went to the screen to fetch He Xiuyi’s clothes and skirt, and while walking over to serve her to wear them, she said quickly and in a low voice, “But she waited for most of the day outside the Xuanming Palace, and only came back lost in thought when it was dark and the palace gates were about to drop the key.”

“Then when she returned, her palace maid saw that her clothes and skirts were all wet with snow, and hurriedly boiled hot water to serve her to bathe and change her clothes the palace maid saw with her own eyes that she crouched over the tub and cried for a long time, and it was only when the water cooled that she got up under the courtesan’s reminder.”

“The palace maid bravely advised her to drink some congee, but she paid no attention to it, and instead took all of her body and gave it to those who served her there!”

“And also refused to ask someone to stay with her tonight those who served her felt that the situation was not right, but did not dare to disobey orders, so they could only send someone to guard under the window at the back of her bedchamber to listen for movements, and then estimated that she had fallen asleep and hurriedly came to us to report!”

The maid said here in one breath, also for He Xiuyi dressed almost, quickly went to the dressing table to take a long hairpin, while He Xiuyi himself to organize the tie, lapel, sharp to give her a hair bun, said, “Niang Niang is the main position of Qibao Palace, master Xue is your palace people, she want to go wrong, even if it is their own want to not be able to do it, Niang Niang can not get out of the blame! So you can’t not ask about this!”

He Xiuyi sat on the edge of the couch, her hands shaking a bit as she straightened her dress, and she bit down hard on her . lips before she forced a smile and said, “I’ll heed it.”

The maid inserted two beaded flowers into her bun it was the middle of the night, and she was only going out to see a court lady, so there was nothing to dress up, so when she saw that it was almost time, the maid lifted up the hem of her skirt, “Your Highness, let’s go out now, lest something happens over there! Look at that palace maid’s appearance, really quite anxious!”

The two masters and servants hurriedly arrived at the outer room, Xue concubine’s palace maid was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, only to turn the screen and see her circling around there.

Seeing He Xiuyi come out, the courtesan almost pounced over to greet her, “Your Highness! Please, Your Highness, go persuade the slave master!”

“Get up!” He Xiuyi took a deep breath, “I’m going to concubine Xue’s side now you go ahead and lead the way for me, be careful to keep your hands and feet light, don’t let anyone know, and if it gets out, your master won’t look good!”

The courtesan sniffed and breathed a long sigh of relief, climbing up in a single bound, “Yes!”

Don’t care if He Xiuyi can persuade concubine Xue to dispel the idea of lightening her life, as long as she is willing to make this head, it’s good!

He Xiuyi saw the courtesan’s expression in her eyes, how could she not know what she was thinking?

Just as how Xiuyi’s own accompanying maid said: as the main seat of the Qibao Palace, there are any three long and two shortcomings in the palace she is impossible not to ask!

“This Xue concubine …” For the people who give themselves trouble, He Xiuyi naturally has an instinctive dislike, but turning to think of the Xue concubine’s encounters since she entered the palace, her heart softened, and she couldn’t bear to curse this companion whatsoever, and only thought hopelessly. “Things have yet to come to fruition, why do you need to despair now?”

However, at the same time, He Xiuyi also felt very strange, “Xue concubine from the palace is not His Majesty’s favorite, His Majesty has come to the Qibao Palace so many times in the past, I and Tian Bao Lin have served His Majesty’s bedtime, but Xue concubine is the only exception this point, whether it is us or Xue concubine, I believe that they have long been seen! I believe that both we and concubine Xue herself have seen this for a long time! Why would concubine Xue suddenly take the initiative to see His Majesty?”

From the fact that she had specially prepared a meal to meet Emperor Duanhua, this move was clearly a deliberate attempt to please Emperor Duanhua.

The problem was that Emperor Duanhua had disliked her before, and with the recent impending loss of his throne, the assassination of the Crown Prince, and the return of King Su, so many things were linked together that the Emperor’s mood could be imagined!

At this time a palace concubine who has never liked has to come to pester, how can she get a good face?

It’s good that Emperor Duanhua didn’t send his chamberlain out to drive concubine Xue away!

Such a simple reason, He Xiuyi do not believe that Xue concubines do not think especially Xue concubines although has not been favored, but her sex. The son was born with some pride, earlier Duanhua emperor to Qibao Palace, did not do to put down the body to compete for favor things, then she can not pull the face to low this head, let alone now?

To take a step back, even if she had gained the favor of Emperor Duanhua now, but Emperor Duanhua was now struggling to protect himself, so what was the use of concubine Xue pleasing him?

He Xiuyi stepped into the side hall with a full of doubts.
