229 soft knife
Qing Yi had made up her mind, but she felt relieved, raised her little face, and smiled sweetly at him. //Welcome to 78 Reading .//
Xiao Hua was slightly absent-minded, but the people in the palace in front of him had already announced, "Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived."
The sound of things being thrown inside stopped.
Xiao Hua gathered his thoughts, his face was as dark as water, he let go of Qing Yi's little hand, and stepped up the steps, Qing Yi followed him hurriedly.
The wife, the Queen Mother, had a dark face and barely suppressed her anger. She sat on the brocade couch and looked coldly at the Xiao Hua couple who came in from outside.
Xiao Hua bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to Grandma Huang."
Qing Yi knew about his wife, the Queen Mother, and knew before he came that it would be difficult to gain favor with his wife, the Queen Mother. But when he saw the look in his eyes that looked like he wanted to cut someone into pieces, he still frowned, but the Queen Mother, after all, He was Xiao Hua's elder. Xiao Hua even saluted, but she couldn't be too blunt, so she had to follow the salute and said, "Qingyi gives my regards to Grandma Huangzu."
The Queen Mother only glanced at the two of them coldly and paid no attention to them, waiting for Xiao Hua to speak on his own and give her an explanation.
Of course, she waited for Xiao Hua to explain, not to give Xiao Hua a chance, but to wait for Xiao Hua to say some treacherous words again, and then take the opportunity to counterattack, win more support from the courtiers, and send Xiao Hua to the eighteenth level of hell in one fell swoop. Never turn over.
Of course Xiao Hua knew what his wife wanted to do with the Empress Dowager, so there was no need to delay it any longer. He said to Mu Ze who was following behind him: "Go and ask them to bring the person up."
The Empress Dowager's body froze, her hand holding the armrest beside her suddenly tightened, her body leaned forward slightly, her eyes narrowed to a slit, and she suppressed the anger that was pouring out.
Several guards came in carrying a door panel. There was a man lying upright on it, covered from head to toe with a piece of white linen cloth, which was lifted from the top to reveal a gray face. It was his long-dead wife, the Emperor.
When the Queen Mother saw this, her body swayed and she became even more furious. His extremely well-maintained face was distorted.
Xiao Hua actually didn't even give him a piece of yellow silk, and only covered him with a piece of linen cloth.
He stood up and stumbled forward two steps, but was supported by the palace maid. Unable to suppress his anger, he rushed towards Xiao Hua and waved his hand to hit him. But he was the emperor after all. She couldn't fight him until he stepped down. She staggered away and pointed at Xiao Hua with a trembling finger. "You... you are such a rebellious and evil person, you actually..."
Qing Yi subconsciously held Xiao Hua back. Although his wife, the Empress Dowager, was already old and even if she hit him a few times, she would not be able to break Xiao Hua, she just didn't want him to suffer such injustice.
Xiao Hua squeezed her hand to reassure her, and said calmly to his wife, the Queen Mother: "Grandma, please don't be anxious. Look here."
He let go of Qing Yi, walked towards the body of the Queen Mother, bent down, and actually peeled off a layer of skin on the Queen Mother's face.
Qing Yi was slightly surprised, it turned out that the wife of the emperor was fake.
It was also unexpected that the wife went to the Queen Mother, and she calmed down instantly. Looking at Xiao Hua in confusion, "This is..."
Xiao Hua said: "Grandma Huangzu, do you recognize this person?"
Seeing that the wife was not the emperor, the Queen Mother no longer wanted to see the dead person anymore and wanted to have someone carry him away quickly. However, after hearing Xiao Hua's question, she covered her nose and looked at the body on the door panel.
The face with the human skin mask removed looked old, but the appearance was vaguely familiar. The wife, the Queen Mother, thought hard, suddenly thought of someone, and shouted urgently: "Quick, look at the left side of her neck."
The guard stepped forward, unbuttoned the man's shirt, and peeled it aside, revealing a dark red birthmark.
The queen mother swayed, covered her forehead, and fell back to the soft couch, her face twitching in pain, "What's going on? Why is it your aunt?"
It turned out that the person who died was actually the eldest granddaughter of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and was extremely favored by the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother.
When she was fifteen or sixteen years old, she went on a trip and never returned. It was said that she was kidnapped by barbarians. The emperor's wife was furious and personally led troops to attack the barbarian tribe. As a result, she was captured and held hostage.
Unexpectedly, many years later, what he saw was a cold corpse.
Xiao Hua said: "When Dave was still the Barbarian King, one year, he went out to 'hunt' with a woman by his side. The two of them went in and out in pairs, so intimate that they were a couple. Someone recognized him, then The woman is actually the eldest princess of the Yan Kingdom."
The Queen Mother's cheek twitched slightly. The princess of the Yan Kingdom actually went in and out with a barbarian in pairs. It was really a slap in the face of the Yan Kingdom's royal family.
But Yuzhu is their biological daughter, and with the corpse in front of them, how can they not be angry? He scolded: "No matter what, she is also your biological aunt. How could you kill her with one arrow?"
Xiao Hua's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "I caught some barbarians who came out for 'hunting' a while ago. Those barbarians told me a story." The hunting he mentioned was to rob women.
The Queen Mother was wrapped in a bad feeling, but she couldn't help but asked: "What story?"
Xiao Hua said: "When Princess Yuzhu was fifteen years old, she sneaked out of the palace to watch the lanterns and met a group of ruffians. However, she left the palace privately and did not dare to reveal her identity as a princess. When she didn't know what to do, she was rescued by a strong man. , she fell in love with the young man at first sight. The young man was Dave who had disguised himself and went to the capital to enjoy the lanterns. The trip when Princess Yuzhu disappeared was not a disappearance, but an outing as an excuse to have a private meeting with Dave, but he was caught by someone. . Knowing that the dignified princess of Yan Kingdom had an affair with the barbarian king, how could she still survive after returning to the palace? So Dave did not stop, and killed all the escort girls of Yuzhu, and took Yuzhu back to the barbarian tribe. . Things happened suddenly at that time, and someone finally slipped through the net and escaped back to the palace and told the emperor's grandfather. The emperor's grandfather was furious, so he personally sent troops. Because the emperor's sister had an affair with the barbarian king and it was spread, it was an insult to the royal family, so it was not revealed to the outside world. It is said that Princess Yuzhu was kidnapped by barbarians."
The wife went to the Empress Dowager and was surprised. It turned out that there was such a special relationship here.
At that time, the emperor's wife had a new love. Although she was the queen, she was not as good as those little goblins who could always hang around the emperor.
Although the wife of the emperor was greedy for the young beauty of the barbarian newcomer, he still felt guilty towards the queen who had always supported him in his rise to power.
Afraid that she would be sad if she knew about it, she never told her about it, so what she knew was the same as what other officials in the court knew, except that Princess Yuzhu encountered barbarians when she was traveling and was captured by the barbarians.
Xiao Hua continued: "Grandpa Huangzu personally attacked the barbarian tribe, fell into a trap and was lured into the mountain road. Along with his personal guards, he was surrounded and killed. Grandpa Huangzu was not captured as the barbarians said. Although Dave was extremely obsessed with Yuzhu, but they dare not violate the clan rules of the barbarians. According to the rules of the barbarians, women from the Yan country can only be slaves. But how can Yuzhu be a slave with others? So he came up with such a trick to skin his wife and the emperor. She made a human skin mask, pretending to be the wife of the emperor, and used this to threaten the Yan Kingdom, sending a large amount of silks and satins and various luxurious utensils. The barbarians received many benefits from her, and naturally they supported her like a god, and she and Dave lived together, Yan Ran became a real couple. Imperial Grandma, those who abandoned their ancestors and helped the tyrants to commit evil will be punished by heaven and earth. As the king of a country, how can I keep her alive and allow her to confuse the soldiers under her command? If we are defeated miserably on the mountain road, tens of thousands more lives will be added to the new Yan army and Xiao Hua in that mountain road."
After listening to this, the Queen Mother was speechless for a long time. Although Xiao Hua's methods were ruthless, she still believed in his character. If there was not sufficient evidence, she would never say what he said in public.
After a long time, he burst into tears. He beat the soft couch for a long time and cried: "What evil has been done?"
Xiao Hua stepped forward, shook the hand of his wife, the Empress Dowager, swept it away coldly, and said softly: "Long gave birth to nine sons, not all of them are good. The grandma of the emperor is full of children and grandchildren. Although this is not good, the others are extremely good." Okay, Grandma Imperial Grandma never had such a granddaughter, don’t hurt yourself by crying.”
The wife went to the Empress Dowager, raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Hua, moved her lips, but did not say another word in the end.
She has been in power all her life, how could she not know what Xiao Hua meant?
Although Xiao Hua said that not all of the nine sons born to a dragon were good, her most beloved granddaughter actually did such a treasonous thing and deceived the world for thirty years by pretending to be his wife and the emperor. Who could tolerate this among the people in the world?
He did not shy away from everyone's presence and told the story about the jade beads, which soon spread throughout every street and alley in Yanjing.
How could she have the nerve to take charge of the world?
His words were to comfort her, implying that even if Yuzhu was not a thing, her other descendants would still be there, which would not affect her noble status, but at the same time, it would force her to hand over her power.
She had to hand over this right if she didn't want to.
After Xiao Hua said these words, he paused and then said: "Grandma Huangzu has been tired for a long time. Xiao Hua will not disturb Grandma Huangzu's rest and will leave."
The wife, the empress dowager, looked older after experiencing this, and raised her hands feebly, "Go ahead."
Xiao Hua turned around and saw Qing Yi looking at him with clear eyes, feeling quite embarrassed. He took her little hand and dragged her out.
After leaving the longevity palace, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qing Yi looking at her with a half-smile, feeling as if he was being pricked by needles.
Qing Yi said: "Will Yan Jun and tens of thousands of your lives be added to the mountain road?"
Xiao Hua sniffed and smiled a little bitterly. When he shot the jade beads of the fake wife and emperor, the barbarians had only a few thousand people left. How could they kill him and his tens of thousands of men on the mountain road? ?
"If one of the barbarians suddenly shoots an arrow from a skilled man, you might become a widow."
Qing Yi shouted at him, but he didn't know who it was that was crossing the Yangtze River at a hundred steps.
"Are you...going to spend your whole life in this palace dispute?"
Yesterday it was her father, today it was the wife, the empress dowager, and tomorrow I don’t know who it will be.
As long as he sits in this position, there will be endless intrigues.
Xiao Hua's eyes dimmed slightly, he stopped, held her shoulders, turned her around, facing him, "I said that if I want to laugh at the situation with you, that day will come." He was willing to help his second brother pick up the fight. When I got here, I knew that my second brother had been away from the court for too long and it would be difficult to adapt to it for a while. However, my second brother has already surfaced and will eventually achieve the same feats as in the past. By then, the throne will still have to be returned to him.
