Chapter 597: Palace Fights Are All Scheming
Xiao Yun did not take back the dream seed, and the Queen Mother would continue to be haunted by nightmares. When her energy and spirit were depleted to a certain extent, she would die suddenly. Even if the other party did not consciously want to harm her adopted son, who made her have no good intentions towards her? It would be better for her to die.
Too lazy to wait for a few more hours for someone to go out, she opened the window that was open a crack for ventilation a little wider, rushed out directly from there, and then closed the window back to its original position.
I went to the fake palace maid and real eunuch again, and did the same thing, putting him into space for hypnosis.
"Who do you belong to?"
"I am the prince's man."
"what???"
Chu Mingyi is already the Emperor Yongkang, and he only has one son, Chu Sheng. Where would the crown prince come from?
After asking carefully, I found out that the person was talking about the crown prince of the previous dynasty.
This man's name is Chen Jinshi. The Chen family is a family of slaves of the previous royal family. Just like some of the servants of aristocratic families, they have been slaves of the previous royal family for generations. This has continued for many generations. It can only be said that they have been thoroughly brainwashed.
Children of the Chen family with good qualifications will be trained to be secret guards or even officials in the court, while those with poor qualifications will be sent to the palace to be maids and eunuchs.
Even though the previous dynasty had fallen, the Chen family still followed loyally.
Of course, the prince Chen Jinshi just mentioned was not the son of the previous emperor, but his grandson. The prince was self-proclaimed. Although the previous dynasty was gone, there were still loyal followers, so they secretly supported the grandson of the previous emperor as the prince.
The surname Chen was the surname of the royal family of the previous dynasty. It was no wonder that the slaves were so loyal. In ancient times, it was a great blessing for slaves to be given a surname by their masters.
Chen Jinshi actually had very good qualifications, but being a spy in the palace was much more useful than being a secret guard, so his family sent him to the palace to be a eunuch.
Everything was fine at first, but unexpectedly, as she grew more and more beautiful, she was often mistaken for a woman dressed as a man and was humiliated by some malicious guards and eunuchs.
During this period, he experienced many times when his clothes were pulled off in public, saying that they wanted to verify his identity to see whether he was a man or a woman. He definitely couldn't continue like that, as it would not only attract attention but also make it easy for him to be killed. So, with the help of his uncle, he changed his identity and dressed up as a palace maid.
His cousin was none other than Chen Shiquan, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Yongkang.
It can be said that this family is truly born with eunuch talents. Even with a new master, they still climbed to that position. In the original plot, Steward Chen lived to the end of the play.
After he dressed up as a woman, he never encountered that situation again. There is a kind of appearance that looks particularly good when dressed up as a boy, and it is difficult to tell whether it is androgynous, but when dressed up as a woman, it is not so stunning and can only be considered pretty. Chen Jinshi has this kind of appearance.
After that, he hid there. When he grew up and mastered martial arts, he secretly killed those who had humiliated him.
Fortunately, those people were all small-time figures at the bottom of society. If they had any status, the higher-ups would have investigated them and he would have been exposed.
After knowing his specific identity, Xiao Yun also asked about the content of the letter he had written before. He said that he was observing some developments in the palace during this period.
The focus was still on the conversation between her and Jiang Lin. What they said made him feel that there was an opportunity. He could use the relationship between her and Queen Mother Qiao Wan to do something, such as causing chaos in the harem.
Another thing is that the Duke of Zhenguo has military power and is a good target to win over. It would be even better if he could be persuaded to rebel.
Xiao Yun thought about the death of the late emperor, and estimated that he and Chen Shiquan were involved and should have played an important role. Chen Shiquan had always been with Chu Mingyi since Chu Mingyi was a child, otherwise it would not have been his turn to be the general manager. It was because of their many years of friendship.
Whether Chu Mingyi was responsible for the death of the late emperor... that is hard to say. After coming to so many worlds, Xiao Yun knows that many of the actions of the male and female protagonists have been beautified. Unless it is a dark story, the unscrupulous means will be packaged as a last resort.
This makes sense. As for the three courtyards mentioned earlier, the capital city itself was snatched from the previous dynasty. The royal family of the previous dynasty had been entrenched here for hundreds of years. The heritage could not be just on the surface. There must be more than just those courtyards, and there must be many in other places.
This person is still somewhat useful. Xiao Yun is somewhat interested in the prince of the previous dynasty and wants to see how powerful the other party is.
It's not that he wants to support the other party to overthrow Emperor Yongkang. After all, his adopted son is the prince of the current dynasty, and the only one at present. As long as Chu Mingyi is killed, he can succeed to the throne as emperor with full legitimacy. Why should he support someone else when he is far away?
As for those princes, Xiao Yun did not think they were a threat. If they dared to snatch her son's position, she would not mind sending them to serve the late emperor to show their filial piety.
After releasing the man and placing a tracking talisman on him, Xiao Yun returned to Liuyun Palace and called Jiaduobao out.
This guy was hanging out with a group of wolves in the space before, but now he has finally found an organization and they don’t come out to accompany her on the mission.
The same goes for Bai Qiu and the others. These guys said they had had enough fun in the previous world and would not come out of this world anymore. They wanted to take a break.
In this world, Xiao Yun doesn't need their help. After all, her body is that of an adult, unlike the baby in the previous world who had difficulty doing anything.
……
Xiao Yun told Jiaduobao about her doubts and asked it to check the information there. The synopsis she had read before only mentioned the male and female protagonists, and the others were almost mentioned in passing and were not of any reference at all.
Jiaduobao immediately looked up the plot of this world and then sent it directly to her.
Xiao Yun was speechless after reading it. It seemed that the hero and heroine lived happily together for five years.
Because after the heroine entered the palace, Emperor Yongkang was immersed in the love affairs in the harem all day long, neglecting state affairs, and the court became a one-man show for Prime Minister Qiao.
As Prime Minister Qiao's power expanded, he secretly colluded with the Barbarian Kingdom to let them hold General Weiwu back. He planned to use his granddaughter to poison Emperor Yongkang and then help his grandson take the throne.
By then, the emperor would be young and could only rely on him, his grandfather and regent. He could first use the emperor to control the princes, and then take the throne into his own hands...
Emperor Yongkang was indeed dead. He drank the soup Qiaodanfeng had given him without a doubt. However, the successor was not Qiao Wan's son, but the Second Prince who had been keeping a low profile...
