In Fuyuan Palace, Concubine Jiao Xian was lost in thought for a long time in front of a picture.
This picture shows a young and beautiful woman, leading two boys, one older and one younger, enjoying flowers and having fun in the garden.
Two boys were in front of the flowers, one playing diabolo and the other clapping and cheering.
The beautiful woman sat at the stone table and watched quietly.
There are three people in the painting, but there are four cups on the table.
If other people see this picture and see the gorgeously dressed characters, they will think that it is two young ladies taking their children to relax in the garden.
Everyone in the palace believed that the person who did not appear in the painting was Chen Meiren, the biological mother of the fifth prince.
Chen Meiren was ill-fated, and after her death, Concubine Jiao Xian asked to adopt the fifth prince.
But Concubine Jiao Xian knew in her heart that this position was actually reserved for Li Jie.
In her heart, she always felt that Li Gao, her, the fifth prince, and the thirteenth prince were a family!
Sometimes in her dreams, Li Gong, she and the fifth prince, who looked a bit like Li Gong, were "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence" together.
And the Thirteenth Prince seemed to have never appeared in her life.
Many years ago, an imperial edict separated her from Li Gao.
Li Gao was granted a marriage to the Wang family, and she was so heartbroken that she received the token from the Duke Li's palace.
Jiao Chengfang came to the lake alone and wanted to die.
At this time, Chen Zhuoxin, who was not yet Chen Guogong, walked up to her. Tell her that if you want to relive your old dream and be with Li Jie again, you must reach that supreme position.
Chen Zhuoxin told her the story of a foreign queen mother a hundred years ago.
The foreign queen mother was sent to the palace by her father when she was young, and had to be separated from her childhood sweetheart.
After she entered the palace, she gave birth to the prince, and later she kept a low profile and made all kinds of plans.
After the death of the old emperor, she became the supreme queen mother of the empire, and her lover had also taken charge of military and political power.
The queen mother and her lover put their son on the throne. The little emperor was young and his lover became the regent. The Queen Mother and her lover began to live together.
This story inspired Concubine Jiao Xian. Suddenly, new hope was ignited in her life.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to select concubines, she entered the palace, and with her appearance, planning, and Chen Zhuoxin's connections in the palace, Concubine Jiao Xian step by step ascended to the rank of "Xianfei" one of the four concubines. Bit.
What Chen Zhuoxin wants is to take charge of power in the future and become the first "regent" of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Concubine Jiao Xian's purpose is very simple, she only wants Li Jie!
Sure enough, Chen Zhuoxin fulfilled his promise to Concubine Jiao Xian: becoming Chen Guogong and helping Concubine Jiao Xian outside the palace!
Originally, Chen Zhuoxin was just a concubine. Chen Zhuoxin's maternal grandmother was the concubine of old Chen Guogong's mother.
Chen Zhuoxin's maternal grandfather was an imperial merchant who specialized in providing drinks to the royal family. Later, my grandfather passed away, and my grandmother took Chen Zhuoxin's mother to the Chen Guogong Mansion.
Because the mother of old Chen Guogong and Chen Zhuoxin's maternal grandmother are half-sisters, Chen Zhuoxin's mother is actually the cousin of old Chen Guogong.
The two fell in love for a long time, and before Chen Zhuoxin's aunt came in, they made a private commitment for life.
A year after Mrs. Chen Guogong entered the family, she gave birth to her eldest son Chen Jia, and soon after, Chen Zhuoxin was born.
There are also rumors that Chen Zhuoxin is actually older than Chen Jia, but the Duke's government deliberately reversed their birth dates for the sake of reputation.
Because if a bastard is born before a legitimate son, he will be ridiculed by the powerful.
Mrs. Yi, the wife of old Chen Guogong, was born in the Duke of Yiguo's house and was the sister of the old Duke of Yiguo. Mrs. Yi has always been angry about the unmatched affair between old Chen Guogong and her cousin.
This was tantamount to a slap in the face of her Yiguo Duke! Although the Duke of Yi is not as prestigious as the Duke of Li and the Duke of Qin in terms of military power and prestige. But Duke Yiguo is also one of the founders of the country! Don't be such a bully!
If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Zhuoxin's eldest brother Chen Jia will be the future Chen Guogong.
However, more than ten years ago, Chen Jia died of an illness inexplicably. There are still different opinions. Some even say that Chen Jia was killed by Chen Zhuoxin!
However, firstly, there is no evidence, and secondly, Chen Guogong’s Mansion and Yiguo Duke’s Mansion also conducted overt and covert investigations, but nothing was found.
After Chen Jia's death, Chen Zhuoxin became the eldest son. Although there were other concubines, it was obvious that old Chen Guogong wanted to make Chen Zhuoxin his heir apparent.
Unwilling to be reconciled, the Yi family married her concubine to the old Chen Guogong as an equal wife, and gave birth to Chen Yi and Chen Bing. When the children were one month old, the Yi family forced the old Chen Guo to open the ancestral hall and claim Chen Yi and Chen Bing as her own. In this way, it is equivalent to having two legitimate sons!
However, Chen Zhuoxin and Prince Qingshu of Xichangchang planned a "rescue"!
Chen Zhuoxin was hit by an arrow in the chest in order to save the Holy Emperor! At stake!
At this time, Chen Yi and Chen Bing's mother was suffering from a serious disease again, and the imperial doctor said that it was likely that she would pass to the child with her mother's body!
Old Chen Guogong made up his mind, could Chen Guogong's mansion be allowed to be inherited by two children? What's more, there are still children with serious diseases! If a bloodline with hidden dangers of serious diseases is passed down, how can we meet our ancestors?
In this way, I feel more and more that Chen Zhuoxin is brave, resourceful, loyal and righteous, and is a completely qualified heir apparent!
At this moment, seeing that his life was in danger, I felt that I really owed this child!
Therefore, regardless of the Yi family's objection, old Chen Guogong requested that Chen Zhuoxin be canonized as the "Crown Prince" and give him "joy"!
Then, Chen Zhuoxin naturally became Chen Guogong.
Every time she thought about this, Concubine Jiao Xian couldn't help but feel a trace of sarcasm on her lips. She didn't believe that Chen Jia would die of illness!
As for Xiao Yi's illness, it was most likely Chen Zhuoxin's fault!
However, Chen Zhuoxin is so thoughtful and ruthless. When the day comes, will he let himself get his wish?
Eunuch Wu of Dongchang reminded Concubine Jiao Xian more than once that Chen Zhuoxin was cruel and ruthless, so be careful.
Isn’t the lesson learned from Jia Nanfeng in the Western Jin Dynasty enough to be a wake-up call?
So what if we were alert? Eunuch Wu doesn't think highly of her thirteenth prince, nor does he think highly of her fifth prince.
The one Eunuch Wu wants to support is the fourth prince Zhou Shiliang!
With the disappearance of the prince, the struggle for the crown prince's position is undercurrent. Things were developing more and more in a direction that Concubine Jiao Xian couldn't understand.
The Ji family is showing signs of rising!
The Princes of Guangning and Jiangxia, who have always been quails, and even the Prince of Long'an, who have always seemed to be hibernating, have recently begun to make moves!
Even Zhou Biao and Zhou Huan became more and more non-stop, becoming two new stars in the royal family!
It is currently unclear which prince these princes and princes side with. This is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that they all dislike her and her two princes from Fuyuan Palace!
Concubine Jiao Xian has a headache...
Concubine Jiao Xian felt a wave of fear in her heart. Sometimes she even thought that if she didn't enter the palace at that time, she would ask her father to tell Duke Li of the Kingdom of Li that she would do the next best thing and become Li Jie's equal wife, or even - —Concubine, can I be with Li Jie?
But why!
That Wang is not as good as her in anything, but he just has a good father and can steal her sweetheart!
Be a humble little girl for Wang! She deserves it too!
Thinking of Wang being tricked by her, Concubine Jiao Xian's eyes showed a hint of tenderness and satisfaction.
Immediately, it was replaced by Yinhen again...
Ji Jun doesn't know much about forensic science. When I was in college, "Forensic Science" was an elective course.
However, this does not prevent Ji Jun from having a deep memory of some basic forensic science knowledge. Especially later on, I read some movies, TV dramas and novels related to forensic medicine and murder.
More or less, if you catch the duck and put it on the shelf, it can last for a while.
What's more, he also brought an experienced old man as Uncle Lian.
But if the Dali Temple opens the coffin and conducts an autopsy with great fanfare, it is afraid of attracting the other party's attention, thus alerting the snake, and in the end the other party destroys the corpse first.
So the result of the discussion was that Dali Temple and Guangning County Prince's Mansion first sent people to set up defenses around the area. It was fine if they hadn't thought of it before. Now that they had thought of it, they had to prevent anyone from destroying the corpses and eliminating traces.
There was no one from the Duke's mansion because Li Mi was worried that there was something going on in the Duke's mansion and the news would leak out.
Li Mi and others dressed up as bosses and family members who had been doing business in other places for many years, and the others served as waiters or hired drivers.
They said to the outside world that they were here to look for the missing family members, and then Dali Temple would issue the formalities. The graves of the buried killers were excavated to uncover the remains of their relatives.
Because these people were buried together, there were no separate tombs. There were six or seven people in one large tomb. So digging up several skeletons at once won't attract attention.
Because Li Mi and Zhou Huan were worried about being recognized, they all hid in the carriage with Ji Jun and Ji Ni.
This is what Ji Jun insists on. Looking at these two people, I remember reading the review of "Shanghai Bund", saying that Xu Wenqiang is the kind of person who, even if he is wearing coarse clothes and dressed as a gangster, stands out in the crowd, he is still outstanding and stands out from the crowd!
These two people are like this. Even if they cover their appearance, they can't hide the magnanimity that is revealed inadvertently.
In order to reduce trouble, the two also agreed to take a carriage.
In order to facilitate the protection of women, it was decided that Li Mi and Ji Jun Shaoyao would share a car, and Zhou Huan and Ji Min Haitang would share a car.
Uncle Zhan Xiao, Ruiting Lian and others put on makeup and followed on horseback.
Zhou Biao was arranged to stay at the "Good Neighbor" waiting for news. If any unexpected news comes from the suburbs, only Zhou Biao can mobilize people from Guangning County Prince's Palace, Liguo Duke's Palace, and even the Royal Forest Army to deal with it at any time.
For this operation, Zhou Biao had to help Li Mi go to the Duke's Mansion to perform in a play. In fact, he was telling the Wang family that Zhou Biao had to go out of the capital to do something. The emperor sent him, it was confidential, it was very difficult, and he needed Li Mi's help.
Cousin, cousin, if he doesn’t help, who will? So I have to follow him out of Beijing.
Zhou Biao and others went to work separately, while Qi Li chatted with Ji Jun and Ji Ni at the "Good Neighbor".
Qi Li didn't know what they were going to do, and didn't care. He was still hoping that Ji Yun Ji Ni and the others would leave quickly. After leaving, he could find a chance to see if he could see Zhang Jisheng.
Before Ji Li came, he asked someone to take Zhang Jisheng out for shopping, and he spent a whole day there!
In short, they cannot be allowed to meet!
So Li Li pestered Ji Jun to tell stories. Apart from going to the toilet, she followed Ji Jun wherever he went. Either tell me stories or let me see Zhang Jisheng!
Otherwise, go back to the palace and tell her father that the "good neighbor" is expelling her!
Qi Li was not stupid. Although she did not tell her about her father and brother, she knew that Ji Jun agreed to her coming to be a "good neighbor" because her father and brother must have promised Ji Jun some conditions. Therefore, Ji Jun agreed to her father and brother.
Ji Yun has a big head.
Seeing that nothing happened, Ji Jun told Qi Li, Ji Min and others about the An Lingrong chapter of "The Biography of Zhen Huan".
In this way, from now on it will be the Zhen Huan chapter, Meizhuang chapter, Duan Fei chapter, Jing Fei chapter...
After finishing speaking, Ji Ni was very sad.
Li Li felt a little bored, a little emotional, and a little lonely.
"Isn't that what women in the harem are like? Either you die or I live."
"Hey, I'm talking about Ji Jun." Li Li rolled his eyes: "What do you think you would do if you were that An Lingrong?"
"What will happen?" Ji Jun ate the melon seeds, looked at Qi Li, and looked away:
"Don't enter the palace!"
"You won't come in if you don't agree? Is there an imperial edict? Why does your father force you to go? You have to enter the palace, what should I do?" Qi Li rolled his eyes at Ji Jun.
what to do? Ji Jun put down the melon seeds in his hand.
In fact, after watching "The Legend of Zhen Huan", there were many comments, including comments on the plot, costumes, props, and various characters.
She remembered that the title of an article particularly touched her:
"Everyone thinks they are Zhen Huan, but in the end, they find out that they are An Lingrong!"
Ji Min sighed softly, what if he had to enter the palace?
Wasn't that what I was like in my previous life?
Concubine Jiao Xian is even worse than that wealthy charismatic man!
I was lucky, and later received the blessing of Princess Lu, just like that of Meizhuang.
Ji Jun patted Ji Min's hand and said slowly:
"To be honest, I really don't know if I would do better than An Lingrong in this situation. For example, when I first entered the palace and was bullied by the rich and powerful nobles, ridiculed and suppressed every day, would it be possible? If you are filled with hatred, will you take revenge at all costs? Some people say that you must endure it, but for a woman in the palace who has no family protection, no understanding guidance, limited experience, and despair and helplessness, under that kind of humiliation, Over time, who can deal with it calmly? Stay calm?"
Ji Min said:
"Cousin, are you saying that you should never persuade others to do good without suffering others' suffering?"
Ji Jun did not nod or shake his head. There is no such thing as true empathy in the world.
When I was discussing characters with my friends in my previous life, I remember someone said that no matter what, An Lingrong should not use the cat "Song Zi" to harm the children of rich and noble people.
A friend smiled bitterly and said:
"Does An Lingrong deserve to be bullied by the noble Fucha? Bullying people to death, bullying them to death, as long as An Lingrong has no ability to deal with the noble Fucha, does he deserve to suffer? If the child of the noble Fucha is innocent, then An Lingrong She is also her parents’ child, so she is not innocent?”
Ji Jun remembered that he was startled, as if he saw an invisible big hand pushing everyone to follow the crisscrossing paths, walking around, walking around...
