Chapter 73 Bloodbath in the East Palace
Chapter 73 Bloodbath in the East Palace
Yun Gen basically dealt with everything that could be dealt with.
After dinner, some people from Guihua Village came to visit.
It was still daylight. There were two tables in the backyard, and Yunfeng was practicing calligraphy with his younger brother and sister.
The visitor forgot what he was going to say and just looked at the children.
Baoyan came to visit and saw that Yunfeng, Yunhe and Yunji were really gifted with beautiful hair and graceful figures.
It's a pity that these children have to flee for their lives and wander around. Maybe it's not that tragic, maybe... maybe.
The older people sat inside the house, and each family brought food and set up a few tables.
The Yun family had almost delivered all the things, but the main room still looked okay; it hadn't been empty yet and there were chairs and stools for everyone to sit on.
An old man said, "It's good to keep it." It doesn't have to be given away as a gift.
Yun Gen said slowly, "It's a pity to leave it here and let it get eaten by insects."
It's fine when the things are used, but it's normal for them to be eaten by insects if they are not used. Although they can be maintained, they are not particularly valuable. Villagers can use them if they can, and buy new ones when they need them in the future.
An old lady said, "Everyone has checked out the house."
Yun Gen replied: "If it can be seen, then see it. It doesn't matter if it is broken. We can rebuild it later."
Qu Wen said, "It's good that everyone is okay."
Everyone stopped talking about running away and talked about other things in the village. There have been a lot of things going on in the village recently.
Everyone talked about lighting the lamps for a while and then left feeling very satisfied.
The children in the village didn’t look for Yunzhang to play with, she didn’t like to play with others.
Yun Chong and Yun Zhun came back together to look for Yuanbao.
Guo Qiongzhi and Jixiang had just finished cleaning the house when they saw the Yunchong brothers coming back from the county town. They asked, "Have you eaten yet? Would you like a bowl of noodles?"
Yun Chong was a young man, dressed in a brown robe, and quite strong. He was supposed to be married, but the girl later married someone better, so he came to cancel the engagement and caused some trouble.
Yun Chong is not married yet, so he is in good condition. He said politely, "No need. I will just talk to Yuan Bao and leave."
Go over to Qiongzhi and get some snacks. I brought too much before and can't finish it.
Yunfeng poured two more bowls of tea.
Yun Zhun smiled, took the tea and drank it in one gulp, then picked up the snacks and started eating.
Guo Qiongzhi saw that the little boy must be very hungry after such a long journey back. She went to the kitchen and asked for two bowls of noodles, even if there was less noodles and more soup. There was no shortage of food at home, and the fire in the kitchen was always burning.
Yun Chong drank tea but didn't eat any snacks. He hurriedly said to Yuan Bao, "As for the recruitment, we have passed this round. The county lieutenant told us some news, saying that His Majesty said that the Tiger Guards are too few and he plans to add some. Our Guihua Village has a good reputation. If we prepare well, we will have a certain chance."
Yun Zhang asked, "Do you want to join the Tiger Guard?"
Yun Chong laughed, somewhat proudly: "Who doesn't want to join the Tiger Guards?"
Yun Zhang understood. He felt that the Tiger Guards were particularly impressive. Even if they belonged to the Prince of Wei, they were not considered by ordinary people. The Prince of Wei was also very good, the emperor's brother. This time, the emperor spoke again. It seemed that Yun Chong's predecessor's current one was in the Cavalry Guard or the Lie Guard? It was not wrong for Yun Chong to want to show off.
Yun Zhang knew it and thought she was lucky, so he came to her for some help.
Yun Zhang's spiritual sense scanned outside. Someone was eavesdropping? A master!
Yun Chong knew that Yuan Bao was not ordinary, and said to her: "I heard people talking about His Majesty slaughtering the East Palace with blood."
Yun Zhang's eyes lit up. She wanted to eat melons! She was in the village, and some melons were not available. If this kind of thing was not spread by someone specifically, ordinary people would not dare to talk about it casually.
Yun Chong lowered his voice but was still excited: "It is said that His Majesty has conducted a thorough investigation! He found out that this matter is also related to Concubine De, and wanted to take her people away, but Concubine De stopped him, and His Majesty was furious. There were several people at the Empress Dowager's place, and they were all cleared out."
Yun Zhang shook his head. It was such a mess.
Yun Chong added, "Your Majesty seems to have arranged a new teacher for the Crown Prince, asking him to study hard in the East Palace. Isn't the Crown Prince going to marry a concubine at the end of the year? Let him study hard too."
Yun Zhang asked, "Have you realized that you know too much?"
Yun Chong blinked his eyes. Although his eyes were not big, he was not stupid.
Yun Zhang encouraged him, "If you can join the Tiger Guards, you will definitely learn a lot of skills. It goes without saying that you must obey orders and be loyal to the King of Wei, but you must not listen to what you shouldn't listen to. If you really can't avoid it, just pretend you are deaf and don't tell others about it casually."
Yun Chong understood and said, "I just want Yuan Bao to know."
Yun Zhang smiled and said, "The Emperor likes Concubine De very much. But Concubine De doesn't necessarily think so. She doesn't think she is blessed, but thinks she is smart and can win favor. The competition in the palace is so fierce, but she can make a fortune quietly. She is indeed a smart person. Seeing that her son has grown up and the crown prince is finally going to be eliminated, she is waiting to become the empress dowager, and she doesn't have to give face to the emperor anymore."
Yun Chong didn't know why Yuan Bao gossiped with him about this? But Concubine De didn't seem to be a good person?
Yun Zhang said, "De Fei knows that the Empress Dowager is very cautious about the Emperor, but she has a son and is very filial. How many women are willing to compete with a bunch of other women for the Emperor? As long as she sends the Emperor away, she can happily be the Empress Dowager, and the others will be defeated. From what Yun Luo said, De Fei will succeed soon. However, Yun Luo doesn't seem to want to let De Fei have an easy time, and De Fei will not be exposed casually. Yun Luo is not sure, but your Majesty is in the prime of his life, whether it is the Crown Prince or the Third Prince, there is no rush. There are so many beauties, who can't be favored? There are so many sons, pick a good one to train."
Yun Chong said angrily: "Yun Luo is just hoping for chaos in the world, why didn't the Shen family kill her?"
Yun Zhang said: "Some people must think Yun Luo is capable. Because they are incompetent, a bunch of rubbish."
Yun Chong responded, "The Crown Prince can come to you. But does Concubine De really dare to kill the king?"
Yun Zhang said, "Who knows? Maybe someone else did it. Concubine De is innocent. She just needs to wait to become the Empress Dowager."
There is no point in discussing this topic anymore, let’s end it.
Guo Qiongzhi brought out two bowls of noodles from the kitchen.
Yun Chong saw that everything was ready, so he thanked him quickly and brought the food over to eat.
Yun Kuang came over to look for his brother and asked with a smile, "Why are you still eating here?"
Guo Qiongzhi smiled and said, "There's still some in the pot. Can I give you a bowl?"
Yun Kuang said hurriedly, "No, no. My mother left some food for us at home."
Yun Chong and Yun Zhun ate the noodles and hurried home.
Guo Qiongzhi scooped the noodles from the pot and gave one bowl to Yuanbao and one bowl to Dalang, not much.
Yun Zhang was drinking the noodle soup and looking outside with his consciousness. The person had already left.
Yun Cheng and his third sister looked at each other. He had some feelings, but the master had no ill intentions.
Yun Zhang has discovered that there are masters in this world. The stronger ones can almost fly over eaves and walls and have strong control over themselves.
Yun Zhang estimated that some people have spiritual roots, and practicing martial arts is like training the body, which can absorb a little spiritual energy, or eating natural treasures can gain some abilities. I haven't seen anyone who is so strong that he is extraordinary. Maybe there are some, maybe not.
