The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

In this atmosphere, the new year is coming, and the first day of the new year is lively and lively, with the sound of firecrackers coming and going.

This is the second New Year that Qin Di spent in the Daqi Dynasty, but it was the first time that she wanted to go to the palace to worship in the gown of the princess of the county.

Because of Gu Zezhi's sake, Qin Di, who was a generation older than him, had already made a lot of gold coins and silver coins in advance to get New Year's money. However, when the second princess and the sixth prince, they all called themselves aunts, When she reached out to ask for the New Year's money, she almost couldn't hold back her laugh.

After sending a few copies of the lucky money, Qin Di's face thickened. When Fang Hanjun came to call her cousin, she recklessly stuffed a purse for her, "Here, your lucky money."

Fang Hanjun: "..."

The second princess, Xin'an, came over and said with a smile, "Cousin, we are not as good as we are, and we are children, so we have to take the New Year's money."

Qin Di was overjoyed, and deliberately put on the posture of an elder and said, "Even if it is a child, it is still a child!"

As soon as she said that, some girls from the clan also came up to ask for New Year's money with a smile.

On the second day of the new year, I go back to my parents' home, and on the third day of the new year, I go to relatives.

On the fourth day of the new year, Qin Di and Gu Zezhi went to Hot Spring Zhuangzi to stay for two days.

After returning from Wenquan Zhuangzi, Qin Di slowly began to pack up his luggage, and when he returned to Qin's house on the sixth day of the new year, he told Mrs. Qin Tai that she was leaving Beijing.

"Grandmother, in a few days, I will go back to the Western Xinjiang with Zezhi to meet King Duan."

Qin Di understood what Gu Zezhi meant, so he planned to reveal the fact that they wanted to go back to Xijiang to say hello without a trace.

Mrs. Qin Tai's first reaction upon hearing this was that the journey was long and it was too hard.

But she was distressed and distressed, and she was inconvenient to say anything about it.

When the granddaughter is married, she is someone from Duanwang's mansion. It is reasonable and reasonable to kowtow to the father-in-law and ask for peace.

Besides, King Duan was ordered by the emperor to guard the western border, and he would definitely not be able to come to the capital. He should be the son and daughter-in-law of the younger generation to make this trip. If Qin Di did not go, he would be criticized instead.

Mrs. Qin Tai calmed down and asked a series of questions with concern: "Have things been packed?

Uncle, when did you decide to go?

Does the emperor know about it? "

Qin Di said with a smile: "When Zezhi's errand is finished, we will set off again.

I'm taking things slowly. "

Mrs. Qin Tai nodded, thinking that this was right, and she couldn't delay her errand.

To put it uglier, the western border is so far away, and I am not afraid that it will be a day or two late.

When she thought that her granddaughter was going to travel far, especially this girl had never been to such a far place before, Mrs. Qin Tai felt uneasy, took Qin Di's hand and said, "Sister Di, you are a junior and respect your elders. It's your duty, but don't be too wronged yourself."

"If you can't get along with 'over there', don't force it. No matter what they say, you don't have to worry about it. Anyway, you and Uncle will return to Beijing within a few days."

"As for Concubine Feng, she's not a serious mother-in-law anyway, so you don't have to give her face, if she wants to set rules for you and stuff people in the house, just refuse.

You have to remember that you are the son-in-law and the daughter-in-law. You don't need to look at the face of the concubine. If there is anything, the Houfu will support you. "

Mrs. Qin Tai's remarks can be said to be heart-to-heart. Qin Di is a person who knows what's good and bad, and he should be obediently one by one.

Afraid that the old man would not be at ease, she took Mrs. Qin's right arm and said affectionately, "Grandmother, don't worry, I won't suffer from anything, and besides, there is Zezhi!"

Qin Di smiled sweetly and glutinously, seeing that Mrs. Qin Tai's heart was melted, and she didn't agree with the first half of her granddaughter's sentence. Her granddaughter is also hard-mouthed and has always been soft-hearted. She was not coaxed by her second uncle. Give him less money, as for the second half of the granddaughter's sentence.

Thinking that Gu Zezhi had earned herself the title of a county king at a young age, Mrs. Qin Tai felt that the uncle was a successful man, and with Du Ruo being given by Queen Wei, her granddaughter should not suffer.

The grandfather and grandson were talking when the voice of a maid saluting came from outside: "Master Hou."

Immediately afterwards, the door curtain was rudely opened, and Qin Zening opened the curtain himself and walked in in a hurry.

Qin Di and Mrs. Qin Tai both looked at him subconsciously, Qin Di raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw something strange from his eldest brother's subtle expression.

"grandmother."

Qin Zening saluted Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin Tai only thought that Qin Zening knew that Qin Di was going to the Western Xinjiang, and said with a smile, "A-Ning, you also know that your sister is going to the Western Xinjiang?"

Qin Zening did know, but he didn't come back for this matter. He deliberately said, "Grandmother, my sister is going all the way to Xijiang this time. I have something to tell her."

Mrs. Qin Tai smiled clearly, waved her hand, and dismissed the siblings.

It wasn't until the brothers and sisters left the Ronghe Hall that Qin Zening looked at no one around and said to Qin Di: "As soon as I started writing today, the emperor officially issued a decree to confer the sixth prince as the crown prince, but..."

Qin Zening's eyes were dark, and after a pause, he continued, "However, Duke Chengen knelt in front of the imperial study in the morning and said that it was...the grandfather colluded with King Yu and plotted to be evil."

"He also said that the empress should take off her hairpin and plead guilty, and she asked for the decree to be repealed."

The surrounding air was slightly condensed, and even the sun in the sky was covered by clouds, and the sky darkened slightly.

Qin Di frowned slightly, and his expression froze.

To put it bluntly, Duke Cheng En was here for Gu Zhen, and once a deposed queen became his biological mother, Gu Zhen would not be able to be the crown prince.

The two brothers and sisters exchanged a tacit look, and Qin Zening hurriedly said again: "Xiaoji, I'm going to the Wei Mansion to see my grandmother and eldest uncle. You go to the palace to see my aunt."

"and many more!"

Qin Di grabbed Qin Zening's sleeve and said solemnly, "Brother, don't go to the Weifu, go to Zezhi.

I went to Wei's house to see my grandmother. "

Qin Zening believed in Gu Zezhi's ability, and nodded decisively: "Okay, I'll go find Gu Zezhi."

So, the brothers and sisters acted separately. After coming out of Zhongyi Hou's mansion, Qin Zening went east, Qin Di went west, and went to Wei mansion first.

She only stopped in Weifu for a while, and after just a cup of tea, she came out again, and went to the palace with Madam Wei in her red wheel car.

One of them is the princess of Chen County, and the other is the biological mother of the queen. With the brand of the two, even if the queen did not call in advance, they entered the palace smoothly and came to Fengluan Palace all the way.

In the Fengluan Palace, looking at the calm and calm, there is a vaguely dignified dark tide.

Before Mrs. Wei could speak, Empress Wei said, "Mother, I also know about my father."

Mrs. Wei: "..."

"Mother, don't worry," Empress Wei instead comforted the worried Mrs. Wei, "My father and the emperor both know who he is, and the emperor will never wrong my father."

There was a slight smile on the corner of Queen Wei's lips, and she said, "There is the emperor here."

Her eyes are open-minded and clear, her expression is gentle and calm, and she has a serene temperament.

Qin Di knew that the empress had always had deep feelings for the emperor. Seeing that Empress Wei could still trust the emperor under such circumstances, and she was not impatient or impatient, Qin Di's heart that was a little uneasy before was settled, and she even felt that I was fed a mouthful of dog food.

The corners of her lips curved slightly, and she smiled and said, "Auntie is right, the emperor is here!"

Mrs. Wei Tai also relaxed a little, but her heart was still hanging in the air.

At this time, Xiao Kouzi came in and said, "Empress Empress, Eunuch Zhou is here."

Zhou Xin was the great eunuch by the emperor's side, and Mrs. Wei also knew that, so she couldn't help but tighten her veil.

Queen Wei had someone bring Zhou Xin in.

Zhou Xin walked up to the queen without looking sideways, saluted respectfully, and said, "The emperor asked the servant to come and tell the queen, please don't worry."

The fact that Mrs. Wei Tai and Qin Di entered the palace could not be concealed from the emperor. The emperor specially let Zhou Xin run this trip, not only to reassure Queen Wei, but also to tell Mrs. Wei Tai.

Zhou Xin continued: "Engong Cheng said that Lord Wei colluded with King Yu, and took out some letters as evidence.

These letters were secretly communicated by Lord Wei and King Yu in the past few years, and there are still Lord Wei's stamps on the letters. If you look at Lord Wei's calligraphy and handwriting, these letters are indeed from Lord Wei's handwriting..."

Mrs. Wei's expression changed instantly, and she blurted out, "Impossible.

My Wei family and King Yu have never communicated. "

Her voice was a little high.

The daughter of the Wei family is the queen, and the emperor and King Yu have been at odds for a long time. This is known to the whole world. How could the Wei family go to serve King Yu!

Zhou Xin smiled to reassure Mrs. Wei Tai: "Don't worry, Mrs. Wei, the emperor knows what he has in mind."

After he finished speaking, he saluted Empress Wei, and then went back with the whisk.

Mrs. Wei Tai stared blankly at Zhou Xin's back, how could she be at ease with such a big thing!

The more she thought about it, the more panic she became, her face became paler and colder, and cold sweat oozes from her forehead.

If this incident is not careful, not only will the daughter's post position be lost, but it may also bring disaster to the Wei family.

Although the emperor and the empress have a good relationship, the emperor is not only the daughter-in-law's husband, but also the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty.

If the evidence is conclusive, then it is not that the Son of Heaven has nothing to do with the Wei family, so he can suppress this matter, and only a tyrant can do whatever he wants.

The more Mrs. Wei thought about it, the more serious her heart became, but her grandfather was not in the capital now, and she could not directly go to the emperor to defend herself.

In contrast, Queen Wei is still very calm.

She trusted the emperor, so naturally she was not in a hurry, and said calmly, "Mother, don't be in a hurry.

The emperor is still investigating this matter, we are waiting for news here. "

She felt that Mrs. Wei Tai's face was not very good, and said to Xiao Kouzi: "Go to the imperial hospital and ask the imperial doctor to come and see Mrs. Wei Tai."

Xiao Kou Zi immediately took his life.

"Mother, I heard from my sister-in-law that you have been suffering from hyperactivity of liver yang in recent years, so don't get too excited. If you get sick, then my father, I, and my brother-in-law will be worried about you."

Empress Wei took Madam Wei's hand and gently stroked her back.

Qin Di knew that hyperactivity of liver yang seemed to be high blood pressure, and the problem of high blood pressure could be serious or small, so he turned around and ordered Youbai to make a cup of Cassia tea, and comforted Mrs. Wei: "Grandmother, eldest brother went to find Zezhi, It'll be all right."

Mrs. Wei Tai looked at Empress Wei and Qin Di. Seeing that the two juniors were so calm, they gradually calmed down. She felt that she was really old. The situation is not without it. After more than ten years of peace, some of them can't stand the storm.

Mrs. Wei Tai calmed down and began to think calmly.

Handwriting can be imitated, and stamps can also be forged.

After a while, she said again: "Empress Empress, your father's seal has never been lost, so the seal on this letter must be fake."

They might be able to start looking from here.

Seeing that her mother had calmed down, Empress Wei agreed with a smile: "It can't be true if it's fake. As long as this letter is fake, there will be some flaws..."

She was about to invite Yu Ping to go to the emperor's side to report to the emperor, and the little gangster who had just gone out to send Zhou Xin came back, and said: "Niangniang, Eunuch Wang is here, and the Empress Dowager's decree, Xuan Niangniang, go to Shouning Palace. "

Mrs. Wei: "..."

She finally calmed down and her mind became tense again, her hand squeezed the right handrail, and there were blue veins on the back of her hand.

She had to think more.

After all, Duke Chengen is the elder brother of Empress Dowager Liu, so he framed his grandfather like this. Could this also have Empress Dowager Liu's intention?

At this time, Qin Di stood up and said, "Auntie, I haven't said goodbye to the Empress Dowager for a long time. I'll accompany you to Shouning Palace."

Empress Wei nodded in agreement, and she reassured Mrs. Wei Tai again, leaving the old man to wait in Fengluan Palace, while she went to Shouning Palace with Qin Di.

The weather in the first month was still very cold, and the thick cloak could not block the cold wind. Fortunately, the palace staff of Fengluan Palace kindly prepared a hand stove for Qin Di.

Eunuch Wang walked by Empress Wei's side, half a step behind, and reminded him when he clicked: "The Empress, the Concubine and the Second Prince are also in the Shouning Palace."

At this moment, the atmosphere in Shouning Palace was quite light.

Concubine Liu Gui smiled and said to the Queen Mother Liu: "Mother, I specially asked Imperial Physician Wang to check the pulse of Mrs. Qin yesterday, and nine out of ten she is pregnant with a boy."

Imperial Physician Wang is good at gynecology. Empress Dowager Liu squinted her eyes when she heard this, and said earnestly to Gu Jing: "Second prince, you are going to be a father soon, you should grow up, and do your job well."

Although Empress Dowager Liu looked down on Qin Xin, the child in Qin Xin's belly was of royal blood, her great-grandson. For this, she put up with the unhappiness in her heart for the time being. Quite looking forward to it.

Gu Jing's eyes flickered with a gloomy ray of light, and it disappeared in a flash. With a gentle smile on his face, he said, "Grandma, don't worry, grandson will definitely make progress in the future."

Seeing Gu Jing's sincere and respectful expression, Empress Dowager Liu was relieved to see Gu Jing's expression, and she was relieved. She wondered whether after the child was born, while the emperor was in a good mood, she persuaded the emperor to give Gu Jing a county king, and he would leave the palace. After the establishment of the mansion, it is the emperor's flesh and blood after all, and he should be given the dignity he deserves, so that people outside are not always guessing.

Concubine Liu Gui was also observing Empress Dowager Liu's face, and seeing her smiling kindly, she jokingly said, "Empress mother, the child should be born in a few months. I have already prepared a lot of toys for that child, thinking that in two or three months, The sixth prince should also be seven years old, so I prepared a copy for the sixth prince, just for the two uncles and nephews, and after the child is born, the nephew and the uncle can play together."

Concubine Liu Gui said casually as if jokingly, but in truth, there was another meaning, implying that this Gu Zhen was just a baby girl, and he could be the son of the second prince at his age, so how could he be the heir?

!

Empress Dowager Liu said lightly: "You reminded me that March is the birthday of the sixth prince, and Aijia has to prepare a gift for him."

Concubine Liu Gui stroked her sleeves and exchanged glances with Gu Jing calmly.

She said two more words around Gu Zhen's birthday, and then changed the subject seemingly unintentionally: "Mother, I just heard that Mrs. Wei Tai has entered the palace."

"..." The smile on the corner of Empress Dowager Liu's lips narrowed slightly.

The atmosphere in the hall also condensed.

Concubine Liu Gui was secretly delighted, but she sighed faintly on her face, and said, "Hey.

I thought Lord Wei was honest and loyal, but I didn't expect that he would be confused with King Yu secretly. "

"According to my opinion, this King Yu is simply uneasy and kind. It doesn't count as the death of cousin Yongle, and he still treats Han Jun so badly. I heard that King Yu also built a palace for Concubine Fang in Yuzhou, which is like the Queen Mother's care."

Concubine Liu's words were all poking at the pain point of Empress Dowager Liu.

Concubine Liu Gui sighed again: "Hey, how could the Wei family be like this?

And the child Han Jun..." Liu Guifei wiped the unwarranted tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief in her hand, "Every time I think of this child, I can't sleep at night, she is still so young, how will she live in the future! "

The Empress Dowager Liu slowly picked up a teacup with a white background, and drank the tea with her eyes down.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Liu did not speak, Concubine Liu Gui pointed to it and gave Gu Jing a wink, and Gu Jing said again: "Grandmother, my grandson recently found a painting of the "Wangliu Guanyin" painted by the Tao of the Holy King in the previous dynasty. I am sending someone to the capital, I want to be here in two days, and I will ask the grandmother to take care of my grandson."

He said it was the palm of the hand, but in fact he wanted to use this picture of Guanyin to please the Queen Mother Liu.

Empress Dowager Liu believed in Guanyin, and naturally she also believed in Guanyin, but she was slightly moved when she heard this precious "Picture of Yangliu Guanyin".

At this time, a palace maid came to report, Empress Wei and Qin Di came.

Eunuch Wang led the two into the East Side Hall, and after the Empress Dowager Liu gave them seats, Concubine Liu Gui smiled and said to Qin Di, "I haven't seen Princess Chenjun for a long time, why did you suddenly enter the palace? Well, but with your grandmother?

I don't know how well Mrs. Wei is in her old age. "

Concubine Liu's expression and tone were gentle and gentle, but what she said was that Qin Di accompanied Mrs. Wei into the palace to plead for her grandfather, and Qin Di was now the princess of Chen County. , her attitude naturally also represented Gu Zezhi's attitude.

Mrs. Liu put down the tea cup expressionlessly, and said bluntly, "Xiaoji just came here the day before yesterday."

"..." Concubine Liu Gui's expression stiffened.

Qin Di said with a smile: "It's been a long time since the court lady has seen the noble concubine. Every time the court lady comes to Shouning Palace to greet the queen mother, the noble lady is not there."

Qin Di's words were not false. Even on the day when she came to Shouning Palace to recognize her relatives the day after her big wedding, Concubine Liu Gui didn't show up, saying that she was unwell.

Empress Dowager Liu ignored Concubine Liu Gui and asked Empress Wei, "Is Lingtang here?"

Queen Wei nodded and replied, "After returning to my mother, I just entered the palace before a cup of tea."

She said that she glanced meaningfully at Concubine Liu Gui, Mrs. Wei Tai had just entered the palace, Concubine Liu knew it, she was really "intentional".

Concubine Liu Gui still held her head high, and looked at Empress Wei with a smile.

She has been subservient to Queen Wei for so many years, and the feng shui has turned around. This time, the evidence is conclusive, and it is not so easy for Queen Wei to retreat completely.

Empress Dowager Liu greeted Mrs. Wei Tai's body a few words before saying: "Empress, before you leave the palace, let her also come to Aijia's place. Aijia and her have not seen each other for many years. She rarely comes to the capital. Just in time to reminisce with Aijia."

Empress Wei bowed her head and replied with a smile.

Empress Dowager Liu sighed and said meaningfully: "The affairs of the court in front belong to the court, and the affairs of the harem belong to the harem."

Empress Dowager Liu deliberately called Empress Wei to relieve her. Regardless of whether Mrs. Wei was guilty or not, it would not affect the Empress.

Empress Wei opened her eyes slightly in surprise, stunned for a moment, and stood up to the Empress Dowager Liu, "Thank you for your mother's love."

She calmly accepted the kindness of Empress Dowager Liu.

In the past, the Empress Dowager Liu really hoped that the second prince, Gu Jing, would inherit the throne. After all, he had the blood of the Liu family in his body. However, the various things Gu Jing showed in the past two years really disappointed the Empress Dowager Liu so much that he could not bear to be the crown prince of a country.

Empress Dowager Liu had long stopped thinking about it.

After all, to her, Gu Jing was her own grandson, and Gu Zhen was also her own grandson, so it was the same for him to succeed him.

Besides, in the past, Empress Dowager Liu was in a hurry to establish the reserve because the emperor's dragon body was not good. She was more or less afraid that the emperor had an accident and the country did not establish a young master. Gu Jing would be more suitable than Gu Zhen, but now the emperor's dragon body is getting better. Empress Dowager Liu was relieved, and she didn't want to intervene in the affairs of the court. It was not until just now that Concubine Liu Gui and Gu Jing's mother and son came together and talked round the corners. .

Concubine Liu: "!"

Gu Jing: "!"

The faces of the mother and son were not very good-looking, and their bodies were tense.

They came to Shouning Palace today to apply eye drops. They wanted Empress Dowager Liu to put pressure on the emperor. The purpose was naturally to abolish the empress.

As long as the queen is abolished, Gu Zhen is the son of the queen, and his only advantage as the emperor's direct son will be gone.

But I didn't expect that Empress Dowager Liu would play cards out of common sense.

Concubine Liu Gui's heart sank, she didn't understand what happened to Empress Dowager Liu, she had always been on their side before.

Concubine Liu clenched the handkerchief in her hands even tighter, almost pinching it into a ball, sighing, "If Lord Wei is guilty, how should the Empress do herself..." She looked worried.

Qin Di said with a sincere smile: "The noble concubine is so kind, and I have to worry about the queen."

"The noble concubine is really gentle and kind, as pure and flawless as the white lotus in the pond."

Empress Wei smiled lightly: "Thank you, Concubine Concubine, for your troubles for this palace."

Empress Dowager Liu frowned slightly, feeling a little nervous in her heart.

What she hates most is the lotus.

Back then, the late emperor loved Fang Qinlian's slut, so he put the word "lotus" in the name of that slut, not only in Fang Qinlian's palace yard, but also in other places in the palace.

And that slut always has two faces, he is arrogant when he is carrying the late emperor, he is gentle and gentle in front of the late emperor, and he speaks for himself in a pretentious manner, and the late emperor will praise Fang Qinlian, that slut is out of mud Not stained, clean and not demonic, and scolded himself for not having the heart of the world.

After Jin ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Liu dug up all the lotus flowers in the palace.

Empress Dowager Liu's face became more and more gloomy, and she looked straight at Concubine Liu Gui. At this moment, she overlapped Concubine Liu's face with Concubine Fang's face back then.

How could her niece look like Concubine Fang from her demeanor to her tone?

In those days, Concubine Fang was always like this in front of the late emperor. She looked soft and gentle, but in fact, what she said was fueling fuel, and every sentence was thorny.

Empress Dowager Liu suddenly felt that Concubine Liu Gui was a little strange. Her niece who used to call her aunt affectionately had actually changed a long time ago...

It's my fault, I've been indulging this niece so much all these years that I've raised her heart. Not only did she have the domineering look of Concubine Fang back then.

She wanted the queen to fall, but to replace it?

In those days, Concubine Fang was exactly the same. She let the late emperor humiliate her again and again, just to make the late emperor abolish the queen and the prince.

Empress Dowager Liu's heart was cold and cold.

What is Liu Guifei's reliance?

To put it bluntly, isn't that me?

! She is using herself as a gunner!

The more empress dowager Liu thought, the more annoyed she became. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes became sharper and said:

"The harem is not allowed to do politics, noble concubine, you go out and kneel for an hour."
