Chapter 210 The sensation caused by the dual identity
“The prince said that he did not want to have children in a short period of time, and even if Xiao Jinyu could not have children, he would never divorce!”
"The prince also said that he only likes this woman! No one wants her!"
Hearing the news from the chamberlain, Gao Zhan was so angry that he smashed a jade cup in his hand, his face distortion.
He Shikai hurriedly ran over to persuade: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, it will hurt your body!"
"I really can't stand him!"
"It's still you, Your Majesty. He was too kind to Prince Lanling. Your Majesty wanted to let him go every time, but he never gave in!"
"Yes, I miss that family affection and him. He is loyal, brave and kind, and I wanted to promote him to fight against those nobles, but he turned out to be so ignorant that he repeatedly fought against me for a woman!"
"I won't be able to relieve my anger without killing him, but If I kill him, not only will the Queen Mother come and scold me, but also these courtiers will scold me for killing Zhongliang..."
"Your Majesty, as long as you don't do it yourself, isn't it okay, just like before? Just like King Pengcheng, let him die of an accident or a sudden illness!"
Gao Jun, the king of Pengcheng, was his fifth brother. He was upright and strict, and never partial. During the Tianbao period, he appointed Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang to take office in Sizhou. Before the time limit was up, he committed more than 500 criminal cases in a row, and he would not be blamed for the criminal. Because of his noble status and high power, he was sentenced lightly. His fairness and strictness were deeply loved by the people.
After he came to the throne, the fifth brother won the hearts of the people even more, and the people's appeals for him became louder and louder, making him more and more frightened. It was He Shikai who gave him advice. , bribed a group of thieves to kill them!
This matter was done extremely secretly, and no one knows the truth so far. The government and the public felt sorry for it. He also gave the fifth brother a particularly pleasant posthumous title - King Jingsi.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhan felt a little guilty, but soon turned to excitement.
"Yes, I don't need to do it myself, but..." His face suddenly darkened, "I'm afraid it's not easy to assassinate a Lanling King. Even if poison is used, there are still people around him. The miraculous doctor Xiao Jinyu is here!"
"Then lure this miraculous doctor away and let the Queen Mother take action!"
"Your Majesty, King Lanling can defend himself against anyone. The princess and the queen mother will definitely not be on guard, so it is most appropriate for the queen mother to do this!"
"How to lure this miracle doctor away?"
He Shikai took a sneak peek at Li Mi, who was standing far away writing notes on daily life, winked at Gao Zhan, and then came closer, whispering in a low voice.
Li Mi frowned when he saw it from a distance, and the tip of his pen trembled a little when it landed on the paper!
...
One day later, Gao Changgong received a letter from Li Mi. After reading the letter, he burned it in the fire. In order not to worry Xiao Jinyu, he pretended that nothing had happened. .
Xiao Jinyu asked him what the Queen Mother told him to say, and he only said that it was some common things at home, as well as asking him for his welfare, and nothing else!
Xiao Jinyu stopped asking.
The whole Yecheng was still immersed in the joy of the New Year, and nothing special happened after ten days, as if Gao Zhan had not aroused suspicion about her.
When the Lantern Festival was approaching, Xiao Jinyu received a letter from Xiao Xian again, saying that they had arrived in Jinyang and would arrive in Yecheng soon.
Hearing that an old friend was coming from the south, Axiu couldn't help but feel ecstatic. Everyone in Prince Lanling's palace was also still happy, but there was some worry hidden in this joy, especially Xie Yuxuan and Princess Liyang.
I originally wanted to escape, but Xiao Jinyu sent Ling Ye to investigate. The Yecheng Post Station was guarded by forbidden troops. There were also many people ambushed on the streets outside the Lanling Palace: candy sellers. , those who buy masks, and many vendors and lackeys are always peeping at the Lanling Palace in Qidilifang.
"I didn't expect that after Lu Lingxuan's death, there were so many spies and spies lurking in Ye City. I don't know who sent them?"
Xie Yuxuan asked, but saw Xiao Jinyu Also thoughtful.
"Sister, why don't we go see the lanterns together? The Lantern Festival lanterns are so beautiful. I've seen them before when I was in the Zhou Dynasty. I wonder how the lanterns in Yecheng are like?" Xie Yuxuan took her hand and asked.
Xiao Jinyu smiled and nodded slightly. At this time, Ling Ye came over and reported to her: "Girl, I have prepared everything you asked me to prepare!"
"Okay!"
Ling Ye raised his hand and was about to retreat, but saw that Xiao Jinyu was worried and wanted to ask something, but finally stopped.
"Sister, what have you asked Ling Ye to prepare?"
Xiao Jinyu didn't seem to hear her words and only murmured: "Why hasn't Chang Gong come back yet?"
Xie Yuxuan looked dejected.
"Sister, it turns out you didn't even hear what I was saying to you. Are you still worried about the prince? The prince always goes to the Queen Mother's Palace recently, and I don't know what he is busy with?"< br>
“As the Queen Mother got older, she became more and more greedy for the warmth of getting along with her relatives. Taking advantage of this new year, she often invited her children and grandchildren to have dinner and reunion together.”
This is what Gao Changgong gave her. answer, but this answer made her feel vaguely uneasy.
...
"It's about time, right? Taking advantage of some nobles who haven't left yet, making this matter bigger will be enough to make them die without a burial place, right?"
In the mansion opened by He Shi, there was also a group of staff who gave him advice.
“I am His Majesty’s most favored person, and I have served him with all my heart over the years. Ever since Xie Zhen came to Your Majesty, Your Majesty believed that she no longer believed in me!”
"Now! The opportunity has come! As soon as Xie Zhen's true identity is exposed, those nobles who are already dissatisfied with Xie Zhen's high position at a young age will definitely take this opportunity to attack her and treat her like a woman. The crime of violating power!"
"It is best to compare her to the Empress Dowager Feng of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who wanted to use Gao Changgong to usurp the throne!"
"In this way, even if His Majesty wants to protect her, You can’t keep it, right?”
When He Shikai said this, his eyes showed lust and he rubbed his hands secretly again.
"However, this woman is so beautiful! If I can drive her into the dust, then I can taste her beauty..."
"He Gong, please don't be greedy at this time. She’s beautiful, it’s best to lose her power as soon as possible! Without her by the emperor’s side, our next plan can’t be implemented!”
He Shikai turned his attention to this newly recruited staff member. In fact, he was not considered his staff member, but an old acquaintance!
He is Lu Lingxuan’s son Mutipo!
The so-called centipede worm becomes stiff after death. This woman, Lu Lingxuan, still has some tricks up her sleeve even after she dies!
If he hadn’t learned Xie Zhen’s secret from her suicide note, how could he have dared to say with such certainty in front of Gao Zhan that Xie Zhen was Princess Lanling!
“Do you think the white rainbow will really appear?”
“Last time this woman said it would rain at the right time, it rained. She wouldn’t even have such a celestial vision. Can it be calculated accurately?"
"Whether it is true or not, let's just use her words, "The comet has appeared, the country is in danger", won't it be enough?"
"The comet has appeared. , It is a sign of eradicating the old and establishing the new. A new emperor should appear and the prince should succeed!"
...
Two days later, a new wave started in Yecheng. The new rumor was so shocking and spread so quickly that even Wei Xiaokuan, who was good at cloth and guarding Yubi Town, heard about it. "Is it true? Could this rumor be true? That Minister Xie is actually a woman?"
“Not only is she a woman, she is also the Princess of Lanling whose superb medical skills have spread all over the world. She is also the girl of the Xiao family who promised that the poor people in the world can study in the Xiao family!”< br>
"No wonder...no wonder she has such good medical skills and gave me a bottle of healing medicine!"
"That's such a pity! Such a talented and generous girl is rare in the world. I wonder if those nobles in Qi who only care about enjoyment can tolerate her? "
"If we can't tolerate her, wouldn't it be better? We can just kidnap her to my country of Zhou, nothing else. , the good medicine she made is also very beneficial to our soldiers!"
"Yes! That's true!" Wei Xiaokuan frowned and then relaxed, "Give me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I immediately wrote a letter to my Majesty the State of Zhou, and another letter to the Emperor of Qi State!”
……
Not only Yubi City got the news, but also Jinyang! There was a sensation, like a pot exploding.
"It turns out that this Xie Zhen is a woman. It is simply unreasonable. A woman still wants to be involved in politics like Empress Dowager Feng. Fortunately, His Majesty's edicts have not been implemented yet. Otherwise, wouldn't our Daqi have to At the hands of a woman?”
“That’s right, I heard that His Majesty still wants to bring her into the palace. This is simply a disaster for the country and the people!”
Several nobles were sneering and talking wildly there. Suddenly, a spear came out and lifted off the helmets of several people, but just barely took off their Tianling Caps!
These people were so frightened that they screamed and cursed at the person who came: "Murong Jue, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Fenghuang's eyes were red: "Daqi is just because he has You corrupt, ungrateful worms will gradually perish!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The nobles shouted.
“Do you know how many people will die from a plague?”
“Do you know how much military supplies and medicines she asked King Hejian to bring during the last battle of Mangshan? , so that our sergeants here in Jinyang don’t suffer from frostbite in winter, and don’t suffer from cold and hunger!”
“You know, it was her who brought several carts of baggage all the way from Yecheng! He rushed to Luoyang non-stop and took advantage of the arrival of the Zhou army to send the military supplies to Luoyang and replenish the granaries in Luoyang, allowing General Dugu to hold on for more than half a month, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive. "
Phoenix said! At this point, I feel a little excited and also a little fascinated to recall the past.
“I once practiced medicine with her and treated many sick, injured and suffering people. She once gave many people hope in life. It is such a person who has to bear all of you just because she is a woman. Are these insults even heartbreaking? ”
"You say she is Daji, has she ever harmed you?"
When asked here, all the nobles bowed their heads, feeling ashamed and speechless: not only no, but she seems to be kind!
"But she is a woman after all! How can a woman be an official in the court and still be in the position of prime minister?"
Some people asked unwillingly, at this time, Duan Shao left come over.
"Master Duan!"
Several nobles and soldiers stood up to salute.
Duan Shao stepped forward and said: "What General Wu Yi said is true. We cannot deny her talents and her kindness to us just because she is a woman. A drop of kindness should be compared to a spring. "Repay, her kindness to us is more than just a drop of kindness!"
"Someone spread this rumor just to use us to punish her and kill her!"
< br>“Is it beyond the power of our generals to put our benefactor to death?”
Duan Shao’s words made all the soldiers hang their heads in shame, and the few who just cried out The honorable nobleman dared not speak any more.
At this time, Fenghuang knelt down to Duan Shao and begged: "Director Duan, please allow me to go to Yecheng!"
"Are you afraid that she is in danger and want to save her?"
“Yes!”
Duan Shao sighed lightly, without too much doubt, and said:
“Murong Jue, I allow you to bring a group of people there. Yecheng, in my name, save her life! "Send a letter to the Queen Mother!"
Unexpectedly, he was allowed to take people there. Fenghuang raised his head in surprise and said: "Yes." !”
“How many people do you want?” Duan Shao asked.
"King Lanling broke the formation with five hundred knights, and I only need five hundred! I only guarantee her safety and will not cause trouble to the governor!"
"Okay. !”
……
In the mansion of General Zhuguo in Chang'an, Duguluo was even more shocked when he heard the news. He hurriedly knelt down in front of Duguxin and asked for help.
Hearing those rumors, Dugu Jialuo was quite sure that they were exactly what he had expected.
"The nobles of Qi State are the best at adding insult to injury, not to mention that there are villains like He Shikai around Lord Qi. If the rumors continue to spread, the situation will be very bad for her!"
"What should we do? Sister, you said you would help her!"
"I said I would help her, but the help we can give her is just waiting for her When there is no place to stay in Qi, bring her to Zhou!”
“We will send people to rescue her!”
……
Due to the widespread spread of rumors, Xiao Xian, who was rushing to Yecheng, also heard the relevant news on the way.
This time he was sent as an envoy to Qi State. He took the initiative to ask Chen Xu, the emperor of Chen State. Among the envoys accompanying him, there was also the right-guard general Xiao Mohe.
He also brought Shi Niang Xiao Ruoling.
"What should I do? Uncle Qi, I didn't expect that my sister's identity would have been exposed before we arrived at Yecheng!"
Xiao Ruoling was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes, Xiao Xian just clenched his fist secretly. , only pondered for a moment, and then comforted Shiniang and said: "Don't worry, we will rush to Yecheng as soon as possible, and everything will be done in time!"
"Unexpectedly, Uncle Qi really expected it this time, sister. Her reputation is too great, her sharpness is too strong, there are always some monsters who want to harm her!"
In fact, since hearing the news that Zhou State was going to war against Qi State, Xiao Xian had already asked Emperor Chen Xu to send troops for support, but Chen Xu refused because Jiankang in the south was far away from Luoyang of Qi State and the distant water could not save the nearby fire. So Xiao Xian invited himself to be an envoy to Qi State. Chen Xu also felt that he had broken his promise, so he agreed. Xiao Xian requested and sent Xiao Maha to follow!
After another three days, the envoy he led finally arrived at Yecheng.
At that time, Xiao Jinyu had been summoned to Tai Chi Hall by an edict.
