Chapter 310 Framed

"Li Zhaoyi is about to give birth."

Concubine Xue asked with a smile, but her eyes swept to Jiang Shuyi.

Jiang Shuyi bowed her head slightly and did not respond to Concubine Xue.

Concubine Xue's heart was alarming, but her eyes did not entangle Jiang Shuyi. She smiled softly and looked at Li Zhaoyi's belly.

Li Zhaoyi smiled softly, "I'll give birth in more than a month."

Concubine Xue Gui smiled and said, "Congratulations! This child must be a prince. Your Majesty, is what the concubine said right?"

The emperor laughed, "Of course it's the prince."

The princes sitting below heard the words and their expressions were not calm.

Concubine Xue Gui glanced at her and exchanged glances with Concubine Xian and Concubine Xiao Shu calmly.

She laughed and asked Jiang Yan, "I wonder when Jiang Shuyi will be able to conceive a dragon seed?"

Jiang Yan lowered her eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye, smiled, and said, "There will be sometime. Your Majesty is fierce, and sooner or later, there will be movement in this belly of the courtier and concubine."

The emperor put his arms around Jiang Shuyi's shoulders, "Ai Concubine is right, I will definitely make you pregnant with a dragon seed."

Jiang Yan smiled softly, "My concubine and concubines respect your majesty. The concubines and concubines will do it first!"

Jiang Yan picked up the glass in front of him and took a sip.

When the bottom of the cup was lit, her eyes passed through the emperor and looked at Li Zhaoyi on the other side.

Li Zhaoyi's brows were full of spring, but she was not smiling.

King Zhao couldn't help but wanted to stand up and speak.

Concubine Xue Gui noticed his plan, and her eyes widened, preventing King Zhao's next move.

Gu Jiu sat a little far away and couldn't hear what was being said in front of her, but she could clearly see Jiang Yan, who was proud of the spring breeze.

Different, completely different.

Compared with the little girl who was still a little trembling, a little inferior and arrogant back then, Jiang Yan now radiates light all over her body.

She is Jiang Shuyi, and Jiang Shuyi is her.

Shuyi's aura enveloped her whole body, and her aura was completely different.

Gu Jiu picked up the wine glass,

Take a sip.

Back then, she just wanted to see how high Jiang Yan could climb, but she didn't expect that she could really climb. And it seemed that there was already a conflict between her and Concubine Xue.

The foundation is not stable, so she turned against Concubine Xue, where did she get the confidence?

When Gu Jiu was in doubt, he heard the emperor announce loudly, "From today onwards, Jiang Shuyi will move out of Ganlu Palace and move into Zhongcui Palace, where he will live in the main hall and be the head of the first palace."

Everyone changed color.

Only concubines who were sealed concubines were qualified to live in the main hall and be the masters of a palace. Below the concubine position, only the side hall, even the attic, the wing room, and the ear room.

Just like Concubine Xue Gui, she is the head of the first palace of Ganlu Palace and lives in the main hall.

Concubine Xiao Shu is the head of the first palace of Changchun Palace and also lives in the main hall.

The same is true of Concubine Xian.

In the harem, there has never been a person below the rank of concubine living in the main hall, who is the master of a palace.

Concubine Xue Gui's heart was beating wildly. Unexpectedly, the emperor then announced that Li Zhaoyi had moved out of the side hall and moved into the main hall as the head of the first palace.

Concubine Xue was dizzy and her head was congested, which made her feel uncomfortable.

How can this be so?

Is Your Majesty faint?

"Your Majesty, this is not in line with the palace rules." Concubine Xian reminded softly.

When the emperor heard the sound, he looked towards Concubine Xian, his eyes instantly cold.

"Concubine Xian conspired to poison Li Zhaoyi, murder my prince, remove the concubine, and demote it to Jieyu."

What?

The crowd was shocked.

Concubine Xian poisoned Li Zhaoyi, is there a mistake?

"Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged!"

Concubine Xian's face turned pale.

At this time, an inner servant stepped forward to take off the court clothes on Concubine Xian. Now that he has gone to the imperial concubine position, he is naturally not qualified to wear the imperial concubine's uniform.

"stop!"

King Yan jumped out and punched and kicked the waiter who was ripping off his clothes.

The servant did not dare to move any more, and could only wait by the side, waiting for further instructions from the Son of Heaven.

King Yan knelt on the ground and said, "Royal father, concubine and concubine have always been charitable people. It is absolutely impossible to poison Li Zhaoyi, let alone murder the unborn prince. There must be a misunderstanding, there must be someone who framed the concubine, please ask the emperor Ming Cha."

The emperor said with a straight face, not angry and arrogant, "This matter has been found out. My intention has been decided, you don't have to mess around, or I will punish you together."

King Yan was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Others were equally incredulous.

Pei clenched her fists tightly. Li Zhaoyi was such a powerful woman that she overwhelmed Concubine Xian without making a sound. Will the next step be Concubine Shu.

She was very flustered.

Gu Jiu bit her lip, her throat a little uncomfortable.

She looked at Liu Zhao, who was sitting opposite.

Liu Zhao slightly shook his head at her, and he must not act rashly.

This situation is clearly out of control.

The emperor is old and faint, and frequently makes faint moves. Of course, it can also be said to be a stroke of genius, breaking the balance of the harem with two newcomers.

Once the balance of the harem is broken, it will naturally affect the court and the entire battle for succession.

The situation is getting more complicated.

"Your Majesty, if the concubine poisons Li Zhaoyi, the concubine will be willing to be struck by lightning, but will not die, and will be a prostitute forever."

Concubine Xian made a solemn oath, her eyes were cold, and her expression was firm. She looked at the Son of Heaven, and it seemed like she was looking at Li Zhaoyi.

Li Zhaoyi did not confront Concubine Xian, she shrank her body and leaned towards the emperor. A frightened look.

The emperor put his arms around her shoulders, comforting her not to be afraid.

Li Zhaoyi smiled sweetly, "My concubine can only rely on Your Majesty."

The emperor said to Concubine Xian: "I thought you were kind in the past, but I didn't expect your heart to be like a scorpion. The poisoning has been found out, you don't have to argue. Come on, take off Concubine Xian's court clothes and take her down."

"The concubine refuses to accept it. The concubine will never recognize the things that the concubine did not do."

The emperor looked at Concubine Xian coldly, and said coldly: "Take her down and look after her strictly."

"His Majesty!"

Concubine Xue suddenly came forward, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, when and where did Li Zhaoyi get poisoned? Did you ask an imperial doctor? Does the child matter?"

At first, the emperor was very angry, and he was ready to clean up Concubine Xue. Later, when he heard that Concubine Xue was concerned about Li Zhaoyi, the emperor eased his expression.

"Concubine Xian's conspiracy of poisoning failed and was discovered in time. All the poisoners were captured. According to the account, they were all instructed by Concubine Xian."

As soon as Concubine Xue heard it, she knew that Li Zhaoyi had directed and acted the play.

Unexpectedly, she has only been in the palace for two years, and someone is willing to work for her and conspire to bite Concubine Xian.

This woman was too vicious to be removed.

On Concubine Xue's face, she was obviously relieved, "Sister Zhaoyi didn't drink poisonous food, that's really good. Thank God."

Li Zhaoyi said softly, "Thank you for your concern, the concubine. Fortunately, the maids around the concubine were clever and found that something was wrong, so the concubine escaped the disaster. Otherwise, the concubine would not be able to see your majesty. Concubine Xian, if you harm me, why are you still here? To harm the child in my stomach. You are so vicious."

Concubine Xian also clearly understood that this was just a play, so the emperor believed in such an obvious thing.

She sneered and stood up suddenly.

A few servants are like a formidable enemy.

Li Zhaoyi also leaned towards the emperor.

Concubine Xian pointed at Li Zhaoyi, "I have no grievances with you, why did you frame me? What do you think?"

Tears came out of Li Zhaoyi, and she said innocently, "I don't understand what you said. It's clear that you want to hurt me, so how could I frame you. Your Majesty, please decide for your concubine."

The emperor angrily scolded the concubine Xian, "Retreat! I am thinking of the past, and I don't go into this matter. If you don't know the interest, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Ha ha!"

Concubine Xian laughed loudly, "I understand, the concubine really underestimated Empress Zhaoyi. The concubine retire."

Concubine Xian strode towards Chenghui Hall.

"Mother concubine!"

King Yan shouted loudly.

Concubine Xian, no, it's time to change her name to Shu Jieyu, she turned her head to look at King Yan, her lips quivered a few times before she said what was in her heart.

"You're fine, I'm fine."

King Yan was filled with resentment, his eyes were red, and he nodded heavily.

Shu Jieyu strode away.

King Yan clenched his fists. He couldn't deal with Li Zhaoyi, so he would start with Li Zhaoyi's family.

With the virtues of the Li family's vampires, he didn't believe that he couldn't find the reason.

He must smash Li Zhaoyi's family into tens of thousands of pieces, so that the hatred in his heart can be eliminated.

Without the waiter's reminder, King Yan stood up from the ground and returned to his seat step by step.

The atmosphere in the hall was dignified, and everyone was so preoccupied that they didn't even dare to laugh.

I was afraid that the emperor would suddenly attack and bring down a monstrous anger.

Concubine Xue Gui and Concubine Xiao Shu were both sad and heartbroken.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, the concubine Xian has been by his side.

The relationship of more than 30 years is not as good as a pregnant newcomer. Who can say for sure whether the belly is the prince or not.

Before the child was born, the Son of Heaven could not wait to act on Concubine Xian. When Li Zhaoyi gives birth to a child, if it is really a prince, will there still be a place for these old people in the harem?

Chill!

Concubine Xue Gui picked up the wine glass, covered her face with her sleeve, and looked at Concubine Xiao Shu on the other side.

Concubine Xiao Shu bowed her head slightly, her expression unclear. But looking at her hand holding the wine glass tightly, she knew that her heart was not as peaceful as it appeared.

She must have been overwhelmed in her heart, and her mood was difficult to calm down.

Concubine Xue Gui sighed, Concubine Xiao Shu, like her, was unable to protect herself, and they were all hard-working people.

Concubine Xian had this disaster, and it was also related to the inability of Concubine Xian's family.

In the past ten years, the Shu family has gradually declined.

The emperor didn't like to see the Shu family very much.

Li Zhaoyi turned to pick up soft persimmons and knew that the Shu family was not good enough, so she planned to frame Concubine Xian (Shu Jieyu). The emperor took the opportunity to demote Concubine Xian as Jieyu, and now the Shu family has no hope of revival.

Even King Yan was also affected, and the battle for succession, no accident, King Yan was about to be out.

Unless, King Yan can make a surprise comeback.

At this family banquet, everyone had a tasteless meal.

King Zhao took the opportunity to be drunk and made a riot in Chenghui Hall.

The Son of Heaven scolded King Zhao, and King Zhao actually learned from King Ning's trick and fell directly to the ground and rolled.

Your dignified lord, you don't even want decency.

Prince Ning took the opportunity to make a scene and mess around.

For a time, chickens and dogs jumped in the hall. There are also clans who use the wine to complain to the emperor.

The life of the clan is sad, and it is getting poorer every year.

The Son of Heaven is the Holy Lord, should we change the ancestral family law to allow the clan to participate in imperial examinations and serve as local officials?

Otherwise, after two generations, there will be a few beggars begging along the street in the clan.

At that time, it will not be Liu's clan who will be embarrassed.

The Son of Heaven is unconvinced.

In fact, this dynasty did not completely restrict the clan from being an official.

For example, the family order of the Shaofu is the imperial clan.

Liu Zhao and his grandsons also had official positions.

After the king of Chu was made queen, he could also participate in the state affairs.

However, this is limited to the royal lineage.

There are many people in the imperial family, and the same royal family has already released five suits. Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as the same ancestry.

Because of the family law of their ancestors, these people could not participate in the imperial examinations, and they had no contact with the royal family, so they could not get in touch with the royal family. As the days passed, it became more and more difficult. Every year, he had to go to Shaofu to fight the autumn wind and borrow money to survive.

Great Zhou established the country for more than 100 years, and the population of the clan has grown larger and larger, and they are not allowed to take the imperial examination.

It's too harsh.

The advice of the elders of the clan is also to find a way out for future generations.

As long as the emperor abolished the ancestral family law and let go of the restrictions, the children of the clan could also fight to kill the enemy, or be the official side.

The clan is always more reliable than outsiders.

As for the fear of clan rebellion, it is purely unfounded.

After more than 100 years, 80% of the clans have been cultivated to be crippled, and they have the ability to rebel.

It's better to give them a way out and relieve the burden of Shaofu. Also let the descendants of Liu surnamed a few outstanding.

King Ning shouted, "Old Ancestor is right, we have to give the clan a way to survive. Father, please be gracious."

The emperor directly picked up the wine glass and smashed it on King Ning's head.

King Ning rolled to the ground and ducked.

"Father, you are so irritable. Be careful of your health. My son is also thinking of the royal family."

"Go away! The royal clan needs you to think about where you put me."

The emperor angrily rebuked King Ning. It's not because what King Ning said was wrong, but the emperor was angry that King Ning dared to take credit for the matter of the royal family.

What do you want to do? Buy people's hearts?

This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed by the Son of Heaven.

If the prince wants to become emperor, he naturally needs the support of the royal family.

Although this support, sometimes it seems very tasteless. But at a critical moment, this support can play an unexpected role.

The success of the emperor's ascension to the throne was inseparable from the support of the royal family.

The royal family helps the emperor at a critical moment, so that the emperor can defeat the strong, kill his brother, and become the emperor.

Therefore, the Son of Heaven knew very well that the matter of giving favor to the imperial family had to be done by the Son of Heaven.

Everyone who wants to get involved in this matter should be dragged out and beheaded.

King Ning was the prince, but the emperor was not willing to behead, but he did not give him a good look.

Wang Ning didn't care, he burped, and simply lay on the ground and couldn't get up.

Tell him to get out, that's impossible. It is impossible to get out, it is impossible to get out in this life.

King Ning was so tired, the emperor was amused. Let him lie on the ground, and no one will help him up.

Gu Jiu was dizzy.

The dragon in Chenghui Hall was burning too warmly, and it was a little uncomfortable with the stimulation of the drink.

She spoke to Mrs Pei, then got up and went outside to take a breath.

The palace is full of lanterns and red lanterns, which are extraordinarily festive.

She was sitting in the cloister, blowing the cold wind of the thirty-five years of Kaiyao, and in two hours, it would be the thirty-sixth year of Kaiyao.

Thirty-six years have passed since the emperor ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Time flies by so fast.

When someone came over, Bai Zhong and Rong Xin were vigilant.

Here comes a palace maid.

"This servant has seen Mrs. Zhao. My master invited Mrs. to the side hall for a chat."

Gu Jiu looked at the person, "Who is your master?"

"My master is Empress Shuyi."

Jiang Yan wants to see her?

What do you see her doing?

Gu Jiu was suspicious in her heart, "What else is there for Empress Shuyi?"

"Niangniang misses her very much and wants to talk to her. Time is limited, so please come over as soon as possible."

Gu Jiu thought for a while, "Lead the way ahead."

"Ma'am, please."

Gu Jiu followed the palace maid to the side hall not far from Chenghui Hall.

Jiang Yan was waiting for her inside.

Gu Jiu stepped forward and bowed, "I have seen Empress Shuyi."

"Madam is exempted from the ceremony and granted a seat!"

After speaking, Jiang Yan waved his hand and told all the people who were serving to step back.

The palace people retreated one after another, and only the person beside Gu Jiu did not move.

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed. She looked at Gu Jiu, "Bengong has something to talk about with Madam Zhao, which is inconvenient for others to hear."

Gu Jiu smiled and waved his hand.

Madam Fang led the crowd to exit.

As a result, only Gu Jiu and Jiang Yan were left in the side hall.

Gu Jiu's face was soft, and there was a smile in his eyes, "My lord, I am impressed."

Jiang Yan relaxed and sat lazily.

"Bengong would like to thank Madam. If you hadn't given me the opportunity back then, I would not be where I am today."

Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Opportunities are given to those who are prepared. You are destined to be the best."

Jiang Yan smiled, "Madam taught me to read and write, and reasoned with me. Did you expect this day to come?"

Gu Jiu shook his head, "I don't have the ability to predict things like God. I just think that a person's appearance, coupled with talent and connotation, can attract the attention of others and help you gain long-term favor."

"Madam's insight is sharp, and it is thanks to Madam that this palace has what it is today. If Madam hadn't taught me to read and read, and taught me the truth, this palace would not have been so lucky."

Gu Jiu smiled, "Congratulations on getting what you want, and I sincerely wish you can seize this luck."
