174: Double Backfighting(1/2)
The Ning Prince's Mansion is located in the capital. Two of the Chu Emperor's brothers stayed in the capital and did not go to the fiefdom.
Emperor Chu had intended to reduce the vassal states before, so after the death of the late emperor, the prince who had not yet gone to the fiefdom was left in the capital by Emperor Chu.
King Ning is one of them.
At this time, Ning Wang Chuhe came to Hanxiangyuan in the palace and saw his concubine Han Xia taking a nap on the beauty couch.
"I will meet the prince!" Seeing him come in, the two maids who were serving in the room greeted each other with blessed bodies.
"You all go down." Chu He went straight to the beauty couch, sat down on the low stool next to him, and raised his hand to lift a strand of Han Xia's hair.
Then he pulled a little...
"Ouch!" Han Xia whispered in pain, then opened her eyes and saw Chu He, "Prince, what are you doing?"
She looked at Chu He with a confused look, and her beautiful face was charming and charming.
At this time, he glared at him with a cute and angrily look, "Why do you pull someone's hair like the little princess?"
Looking at this bright and gorgeous face, and thinking about the news that someone conveyed, King Ning was a little excited.
"I have asked you a few times before, where your mother has gone, and you tell me you don't know."
Han Xia's heart trembled, but his face was not revealed, "Why did the prince ask about this again? I have never met my mother since I was a child. I asked my father many times, but my father never explained why I mentioned this again today?"
King Ning's expression remained unchanged, "You really don't know?"
"I don't have to deceive the prince in this matter, I really don't know."
"Since that's the case, then when will you know and when will you get out of this yard again?" King Ning didn't make it clear. He stood up and shook his sleeves and left.
Not long after King Ning left, Hanxiangyuan was surrounded by guards and conveyed the words of King Ning that from today on, Hanxiangyuan will be closed and no one will be allowed to enter and exit without the permission of the prince.
Han Xia was stunned!
Since she came to the Ning Prince's Mansion, she can already be regarded as the hostess in the mansion. None of the royal family is holding her and respecting her. Even Princess Ning has to push her away and refuse to shoot her, and dare not take her edge.
After giving birth to her daughter, she thought she would lose favor, but she didn't expect that the prince was more kind to her daughter than the young prince. After a few years, she had been favored, which made her gradually immersed in it.
No matter what, I never expected that the prince would confine her, not even have a reason.
"..." Could it be...
It is impossible, who is her biological mother? This is the most secret secret, how could the prince know?
But if it weren't for this, how could the prince be so angry that he would have stopped her without knowing it.
If this is true, you have to tell your mother so that she can prepare early.
Later, Han Xia discovered that the people guarding Hanxiangyuan this time were the prince's confidants, and the secret could not be sent out at all. The entire courtyard was surrounded like an iron bucket.
"Princess!" A woman with a bun quickly walked into a yard, opened the bead curtain and entered the inner room. "I just came back and got the news, and the prince sent someone to seal the Hanxiangyuan."
Princess Ning raised her head from the account and was stunned when she looked at the panting but couldn't help but feel happy.
In recent years, the Ning Palace has long lost her place as the official concubine. There are two concubines in the palace, three concubines and several other families. When Han Xia did not come, although she had no feelings for Prince Ning, she was still a couple for many years. Even though she was not favored in the palace, she was at least decent.
But since Han Xia entered the palace, her inner and outer face was trampled on by this woman, and many women in the palace watched her jokes behind their backs.
If her father had not been the Secretary of the House, he might have lost even the obvious respect.
Now that the prince has actually put Concubine Han in house arrest, how can she not surprise her?
"Do you know why?"
"I don't know."
"Forget it, let's not worry about this matter, we can just watch the fun."
"yes!"
King Ning couldn't say what it felt like.
When I think of this woman as her Majesty, I feel it is extremely ridiculous.
The Empress Dowager actually had children with other men before her father's death. Once this news spread, the ministers would be angry and forced His Majesty to kill his mother. Even if the Empress Dowager was His Majesty's biological mother, she could do her best to be like this, and even His Majesty would probably not allow her to survive.
If His Majesty knew about it, Han Xia would definitely die, but in the same way, he would not be able to fall well.
Although he favors Han Xia, compared to himself, Han Xia is no longer important.
"Come and prepare horses, I will enter the palace."
"yes!"
But halfway through the way, King Ning held back the reins of the horse and finally took people back to the palace, but did not enter the palace.
King Ning was interested in the throne. As a prince, he was almost deeply fascinated by that position.
But he had thought about it just now, and he rashly entered the palace without any preparation. If the empress dowager wants to kill someone to silence him, it will be difficult for him to escape from the palace alive, so he still needs to make some preparations.
The entourage couldn't figure out why the prince didn't enter the palace, but he still followed him obediently and returned to the palace.
At night, in Yong'an Palace, the Empress Dowager Jiang of the Eastern Palace was having dinner.
Although Jiang is over forty years old, she still has the charm. There are a little fine lines between her eyebrows and eyes, but it does not affect her beauty.
She was born in a poor family and was taken by the late emperor. She was taken directly to the palace and gradually promoted from the lowest position to the throne of concubine. After giving birth to Chu Ze, His Majesty even promoted her to the imperial concubine, and her title was "Rong".
But even though he became a concubine, he was still sent out of the palace by His Majesty, and he left for more than ten years.
She loves Chu Ze, but compared to her youngest son who can be seen at any time, Chu Ze is not that important in her heart.
"Empress Dowager, someone sent a letter outside."
Empress Dowager Jiang took it over and opened it. When she saw the short two lines of words on the letter paper, her face changed drastically.
"Who sent it?" Empress Dowager Jiang asked sternly.
The maid hurriedly knelt on the ground, "I don't know, I only saw an imperial guard wearing armor."
"Waste." Empress Dowager Jiang stood up, shook her sleeves into the bedroom with anger, and naturally she lost her appetite for supper.
After entering the door, she closed the hall door in panic, and her whole body seemed to be exhausted and slid to the ground.
Who is it, who is it? Who else in this world knows that she has a pair of children outside?
Is it a daughter?
Queen Mother Jiang quickly gave up this idea.
The child has been sensible and obedient since childhood, and she also clearly told Han Xia that the matter of being a mother and daughter must not be promoted, otherwise they will all die.
Even so, Empress Dowager Jiang is often awakened by nightmares.
She dreamed that her affairs were exposed, and all the civil and military officials in the court forced their son to kill her.
I thought it was hidden very well, but who expected it would be exposed in the end.
Queen Mother Jiang was sweating from behind, and her luxurious palace clothes were quickly wet.
It’s better to solve the nightclub Mondo, and it’s better to solve the problem as soon as possible.
She just wanted to use Nishimiya's death to dispel the urgency that this incident brought to her, and she did not expect that the dilemma her son would face once Nishimiya died.
She never thought that killing an empress dowager was definitely not a verbal matter. If there was no conclusive evidence, it would be so difficult to defeat an empress dowager.
Once it is done, nothing has happened in the West Palace, and the previous dynasty will start writing a letter to give a direct advice.
The West Palace is the legitimate mother, the Empress Dowager, the most orthodox person in the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could you kill you casually?
Western Chu governed the country with filial piety. As an emperor, he personally used some inaccurate news to kill his adoptive mother. The emperor Chu Ze, the emperor, must face being criticized by the world.
At the end of the month, the Western Chu army set out, and 300,000 soldiers headed towards the Great Zhou in a mighty manner.
Jianxin rushed back from Huai'an with a quick horse and secretly sent the news to the West Palace.
Seeing the news brought back by Jianxin, Empress Dowager Liu was a little sad, and she had already reached this point.
A few days ago, Mrs. Jiang walked here after a while, and her words and deeds were quite sarcastic. Empress Dowager Liu knew that they might have to speed up.
Thinking of raising Chu Ze and protecting him ascending the throne, less than half a month after he brought his biological mother back from outside, and the two empress dowagers, one east and one west, were clearly divided.
However, because of this action, Empress Dowager Liu was disheartened by Chu Ze.
His efforts over the past ten years are not as good as those of Jiang, who has lived outside for many years.
Who asked him about his well-being on weekdays? Who told him to add and remove clothes? He was sick and took care of him without sleep. He studied until late at night and even sent someone to deliver soup and desserts. He treated him as his biological son.
But what about him?
She was so disgusted.
The letter stated that the King of Huainan had already cooperated secretly with Yang Shuai, who was guarding the border camp in the northeast, and was preparing to lead troops into the capital after the army was far away from Western Chu, and was determined to pull Chu Ze, an unfilial and unrighteous person, off the throne.
Although Empress Dowager Liu was a little sad, she also felt that this was the best way to do it at the moment.

Pencil Novel x.
In early March, the King of Huainan secretly sent people to the capital in batches.
If he blatantly leads troops to Beijing, Chu Ze may be transferred back to Beijing, which is hindered by the plan.
