138 Old Slave

Since Lu Fang returned to Beijing, the entire Jianye City was shrouded in a strange atmosphere. Lu Shuxian's sudden death, and then Chen Liniang was thrown into the cold palace. The palace did not issue an explicit edict to make an explicit statement about the whole story. Various rumors were still circulating among people. ///// Although everyone has different opinions on the reasons for these two things, there is a consensus on one thing - that is, all this is just the beginning, and there is a more important thing to happen next. In this way, after winning the Battle of Xiangcheng, the people in Jianye City did not feel the joy of victory, and their hearts were filled with confusion and fear of the future.

Lu Runxing, who was at the center of the storm, also felt huge invisible pressure. His mother's sudden death and his biological mother was suddenly shot into the cold palace. This sudden change made his originally determined crown prince position unknown again. As a young man in his early twenties, no matter how many trials he experienced in his short life and how outstanding his talents he had, in the face of this strange and hostile world, Lu Runxing still felt confusion and fear. After all, no matter how powerful the enemy he faced was, there was a huge shadow behind him - Lu Fang and the powerful Wu Kingdom; and now everything has been turned upside down, no one knows what the old man in Weiyang Palace is thinking now. You must know that in the past thirty years, even among the heroes in the world, Lu Fang has been famous for his unexpected behavior, but there was only one result, the destruction of the enemy and his own prosperity.

"Your Highness! The people who went to the palace are back!"

"Hurry, let him in!" Lu Runxing said hurriedly. In the past few days, all kinds of rumors about Lu Shuxian's sudden death and Chen Liniang was thrown into the cold palace were everywhere. One sounded more bizarre than the other, but the palace was silent. Lu Runxing had to let his wet nurse go to the palace. This person was originally Lu Shuxian's good sister, two sons and three daughters were all working in the palace. He was very familiar with everyone in the palace. Even when Lu Fang saw her, he would call Wu Niang (five in the clan). It was the most suitable time to go to the palace at this time.

At this time, only Wu Niang and Lu Runxing were left in the room. Lu Runxing coughed softly and said, "My grandma, what news did you hear from the palace?"

"Mr.!" Wu Niang was blessed with Lu Run. She was a pretty simple dressed woman. Although she was nearly fifty years old, she still retained some of her youthful charm: "I went to the palace and asked several officials in charge of the palace. I heard that the expulsion of Empress Chen was related to the sudden death of the central palace!"

"What?" Although Lu Runxing has heard similar news in the past few days, it is some unfounded rumors after all, which is very different from what Wu Niang said at this time. He suppressed the panic in his heart and asked in a low voice: "What certificates are there?"

"Mr. Lang, how can there be certificates for such palace affairs? Otherwise, Empress Chen would not only be expelled from the palace, but was detained in Chonghuafang?" Wu Niang whispered: "It's just that on the night before Empress Chen left the palace, the Maiden Yun of her subordinate was suddenly taken away by General Manager Shi, and then there was no news again!"

"Then please ask the details from General Manager Shi?" As soon as Lu Runxing said, he felt something was wrong. Sure enough, Wu Niang shook her head and said, "That old dog is very strict. This matter will definitely not be leaked even if it is a word. Let's forget it!"

Lu Runxing nodded. As Wu Niang said, Shi Shude has been soaring up by Lu Fang for more than ten years and becoming the chief supervisor of the palace. He relies on strict words and strict work. Such things will not be heard at all. If his father knows that he sent someone to the palace to inquire, it would be better to give up. Thinking of this, Lu Runxing suppressed the boredom in his heart and said with a smile: "Wu Niang, thank you for your hard work in the palace this time. Let's go down and rest first!"

Wu Niang hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Mr. Langjun, the situation outside is very chaotic now. You have different identities. It is not appropriate to do whatever you say or do. It is better to rest in the mansion. The king is a Suhui person. Although he has many descendants, he has no one who can match you. No one is the one who can match Langjun. This position is always yours!"

"I understand, Wu Niang feels at ease!" Lu Runxing nodded, and a grateful smile appeared on her face.

Clang! With a sound, a teacup was thrown out of the house and fell to the ground and fell into four or five pieces. If you look closely, it is not difficult to see that this teacup is the top-grade celadon produced by the Xinping official kiln of Fuliang, and it is extremely exquisitely made. After the Huang Chao Rebellion, the craftsmen of Fuliang's official kiln had already fled. After Lu Wu occupied Jiangxi, although the production of the official kiln was restored, it was still impossible to produce such top-grade celadon. Therefore, such celadon teacup is even rare, and its value is probably no less than a hundred cents.

"You guys are trying to detain a certain family here. I want to see the king!" Shen Liniang stood in the house, her face full of anger, and two eunuchs stood in front of her, with fear and helplessness on her face. She had been detained in Chonghuafang for more than half a month, but no one had come to see her. The panic at the beginning had fermented into anger. On her beautiful face, her muscles were twisted, and she showed a three-point hideous look.

"Empress Shen!" At this time, an old man in a frigid clothes walked in from the outside. He saw that there was no beard under his chin, his eyes narrowed slightly, his voice was sharp, and there was a goldfish bag hanging around his waist. It was Shi Shude, the eunuch.

"I'm paying homage to the Empress!" Shi Shude bowed his head and bowed. Although Shen Liniang was very angry at this time, she had to smile and said, "Don't be too polite, get up quickly!" Although Shi Shude is far less powerful than his previous colleagues, he has been working hard around Lu Fang for many years and has not talked nonsense. This time, he must be the representative of Lu Fang himself and cannot be neglected.

Shi Shude stood up and glanced at the two eunuchs. The two of them knew it and hurriedly left the house like an amnesty. Shi Shude smiled slightly, leaned down tremblingly, picked up the celadon fragments on the ground one by one, put them into his sleeves, and smiled and said, "The Empress is not satisfied with her daily life here, and she is unhappy. I should deal with it myself!"

Shen Liniang shook her head and kept silent.

"Empress, that's the servants who are not good at doing things well, which makes the empress unhappy. The old slave should be the one who makes the right choice!"

Shen Liniang snorted coldly and said, "Why is it? My father-in-law knows it, why should I ask you knowingly? Let me ask you why I didn't come by myself." Shen Liniang had been depressed for many days, but at this time she actually called Lu Fang his name.

Shi Shude smiled, put the pieces of broken porcelain on the table beside him, carefully put them together, and said, "Empress, this celadon tea cup was originally worth hundreds of coins, but now it is worthless. Even if it is glued back, it can only be worth a fortune. The same is true for people. If decades of love between husband and wife are broken, it will be difficult as before. Empress, don't want to speak Nuyu and do something that you regret."

After hearing Shi Shude's words, Lu Shuxian couldn't help but feel a stern. She couldn't hear the warning in the other party's words, and whispered: "Dadfather-in-law, since ancient times, those who have sex with others will have a weaker love. If the king has feelings, how could he drive me to this place where sinners are confined? He didn't even see me once. It's normal for Li Niang to have today!"

"My Majesty, don't talk nonsense!" Shi Shude's tone suddenly became stern and said sternly: "What kind of person is Your Majesty? Do you still don't know that in the past twenty years, Your Majesty has only taken three wives and concubines with the honor of Wancheng. How could he be a lustful person? The death of the palace, and the Majesty is involved again. If Your Majesty had not had a deep affection with you, what I brought this time would be a glass of poisonous wine and three-foot white silk!"

"The death of the central palace is related to me?" Chen Liniang was shocked when she heard this. She was locked up here in a confused manner that day, and she didn't know that the female official Yun had taken it away. The eunuchs and palace maids who guarded her in Chonghuafang were specially selected. The outside world news was cut off, so naturally she didn't hear those rumors. She also came from a noble family and was naturally familiar with the palace struggles of all dynasties. When she connected the causes and consequences, she immediately understood her situation. She couldn't help but be frightened and her lips were pale and her face was sitting on the Hu bed.

Shi Shude did not care about Chen Liniang's feelings and continued, "Once the Central Palace dies, you will be the first choice for the queen. Now the cause of death in the Central Palace is not clear, and each clue is pointed at you, Empress. What do you think Your Majesty will think? What will the ministers think? What will the members of the Lu clan think?"

Hearing this, Chen Liniang woke up suddenly, took two steps, grabbed Shi Shude's clothes, and said repeatedly: "Father-in-law! Father-in-law! The death of the central palace has nothing to do with me! You must tell your Majesty for me, and you must tell me!" At this point, Chen Liniang was already in tears, without the beautiful and noble appearance just now.

"Empress, get up quickly! It's a tragic slave!" Shi Shude hurriedly moved away and whispered: "Empress, don't be panic. Your Majesty demoted you here, in fact, to protect you. Empress, think about it, the Central Palace and Your Majesty are married, and most of the generals in the army have been favored by the Central Palace. This foundation can be said to be the result of the Central Palace and the Central Palace. The Central Palace died of a crime, and the evidence points to you one by one. If Your Majesty does not take any action, how can you say it in front of the generals? Now, although you are in Chonghuafang, your food and daily life are no different from that in the palace. The strict guard here is actually a kind of protection for you. This is also said to the outside world. Besides, your title has not changed at all. When the time comes, you can still return to the palace!"

After hearing Shi Shude's words, Chen Liniang was shocked. She was originally carrying swordsmanship, but her hands and feet were weak at this time. She stood up with Shi Shude's support. Chen Liniang wiped the makeup on her face for a while and asked in a low voice: "I have a shallow knowledge, which makes my father-in-law laugh, but I still want to ask more, I wonder when is the time?"

Shi Shude bowed and said, "This is true for all the people in the world under the power of heaven. As for this opportunity, I have a little insincere view. I wonder if the Empress is willing to listen."

"Please speak with Eunuch Shi!" Chen Liniang also felt the other party's intention to make a good relationship with her at this time, and felt relieved and whispered: "If Liniang can return to the palace, she will never dare to forget her father-in-law's wishes in this life!"

"Don't dare! I am the old man who is punished, I am not allowed!" Shi Shude bowed and whispered: "Your Majesty often shows surprises in his actions. Ordinary people in the world don't understand the wonder at first, but often admire him later. In the old Nu's opinion, Your Majesty expelled the Empress from the palace and confined to this Chonghuafang, certainly has the intention of protecting the Empress and alleviating external pressure. There is also the meaning of "leading the snake out of the cave". Please think that since the death of the central palace has nothing to do with the Empress, it must be the work of another person, and then muddle the water, and use the knife to kill people to remove the Empress from it, and get profit from it. Then Your Majesty pretended not to know, drove the Empress out of the palace, let the guy think he had a plan, reveal traces, and then he caught him all. At that time, the truth was revealed, and the Empress naturally washed away the grievances and entered the palace again!"

Here are a few words: Comrades who are unreliable in the palace fighting in the book can go and see the witchcraft case in the late Han Dynasty. The reason is even more ridiculous, but the result is not ridiculous at all. Remember, this is not a detective novel by Kindaichi, but an ancient palace struggle. This struggle does not require concise logic or sufficient evidence. As long as there is a conflict of interests and a triggering cause, it is enough. Speaking of evidence, what can you ask for under Sanki? Lai Junchen, Zhou Xing and others should always hear the names of them! You will say whatever they want you to say.
