Chapter 5 The Secrets of the Dynasty

After leaving Yizhen Palace, Xiao Xuan rushed to Taihuaxuan

I comforted Yaoyao, who was waiting for her, and told her that she was about to move and would pick her up after the arrangements were made.

He took the Soul-Breaking Shield, Soul-Binding Chain...Yun Ying and other weapons and magic weapons, hurriedly put them in Douyuan Jin, and rushed back to Yongyi Palace while the night was falling.

Until I returned to the bed, the hairpin and the two little palace maids were still dreaming

Then every three or five days, Wu Pianfeng would send someone to Yongyi Palace. Most of the time it was red leaves, and occasionally Aunt Li

Xiao Xuan's daily brocade clothes and food are not only due to the miraculous effect of the Qixiao Cover, but also the pills sent by Wu Pian and the careful care of the queen. Moreover, some unknown things hidden in his body seem to be working. The injury healed quickly and he could start to use his own exercises to heal his wounds. In addition, he also had time to run the magic tricks taught by Bi Lianlian for two Zhoutians, and his memory was restored a lot.

There are the last two Zhoutians! He is secretly excited

During this period, Xiao Xuan almost never left the house. The four maids who served him by his hair, bracelet, bracelet and jade were the queen's close confidants, so there was no problem. Because Chao Zige had always been moody, everyone was always blamed, and other women in the palace were afraid to approach him, so it was safe and sound.

Yan Zhuozhong came a few times, and they all went to the tent to visit him. Xiao Xuan was confident and was not panicked.

However, the queen was worried. Although Yan Zhuozhong was the leading eunuch in the Forbidden Garden, it was difficult to stop him, but he always refused to stay in the house for too long on the grounds that he needed to rest.

This person is one of the closest people in the palace to Chao Zige. If he takes a closer look, he might see the flaws and he has to be careful. The queen said worriedly.

Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, no interface

Half a month later, the queen suddenly said to Xiao Xuan: Since Chao Zige went to the mysterious building, he has been addicted to alcohol, sex, and abandoned the government affairs. He has not been in the court for a long time. Now we are not leaving the door on the grounds of injury and illness, so we can still give in to the Chinese civil and military officials of the court.

I haven't been to the court for a long time... Xiao Xuanqi said, how to deal with the government affairs? What should I do if there is any report from civil and military officials?

Chao Zige has been lazy to go down the building for many years, so he handed over the government to Tang Guozhang and my father to preside over it. However, because there were Tianlang, Quanrong and other tribes in the north, my father was ordered to go to Zhenfu. It has been more than half a year. Only Tang Xiang is in charge of Yujing. He will go to the building to meet him unless an emergency happens. The Queen said

The foolish lord! Xiao Xuan shook his head and said

When you were in a coma for those days, Tang Guozhang, Tang Fengshan and all the ministers in the court went up to the mystery building to visit. I comforted me and finally got over it.

Fortunately... Xiao Xuan sighed quietly

But until that night, I have not seen you as the emperor for more than half a month in each palace and garden. Everyone is anxious... I think it's time to see them, the queen said

Xiao Xuan's heart tightened

Otherwise, they would always gossip behind their backs, saying that this palace took the opportunity to dominate His Majesty, and that no one had seen each other for too long, for fear that someone would be suspicious. The queen pondered.

But... Xiao Xuan was trembling with fear

Therefore, I have sent an edict to say that the holy body has improved, and that the palaces and courtyards will come to pay their respects tomorrow. The Queen said

Tomorrow? Xiao Xuan said in panic: This...what should I say when I see them? If I say something wrong, it will be bad if I reveal it!

Your Majesty is ill! The Queen blinked at him and said, "You pretend to be unscrupulous and talk, don't talk too much, um, ahhh, I'll just watch it."

Xiao Xuan's forehead sweats

Why are you panic? The queen burst into laughter and said: I will meet tomorrow just to comfort everyone. There is no need to worry. Besides, I will have everything!

What if there is anyone who asks something, what should I do if I can't answer? Xiao Xuan is restless

If you can't answer, just say nothing! The queen glared and said, "Silly, don't be so scorpion-like. You are the tyrant who kills without blinking. Who in this palace is not afraid? What you should be afraid of is whether others are good or not!"

Xiao Xuan nods

I had previously asked someone to spread news that the emperor was attacked and his head was injured. If he really encountered something that could not be dealt with, you would use this to refuse and say that he could not remember the headache. The Queen said

When Xiao Xuan heard this, he felt a little relieved.

What should come will come eventually. Can you, the emperor, never go out to see people? Come on, let me talk about the etiquette in the palace now, so that you will not be in a hurry tomorrow. The queen said softly, and went to bed with a playful look on her face and sat next to him.

Xiao Xuan felt a swaying heart, and the charming scenery in the wooden house on the jade brocade frame quietly came.

First of all, you can call yourself me, a lonely family or a widow; I am your main palace, and call me in front of you, in addition to the queen, you can also call Zitong; tomorrow, you can call the concubines who come to pay tribute, you can call her title or call her name... The queen is good at inducing her

Xiao Xuanqiang was distracted and listened seriously

After half an incense stick

Look, there is nothing difficult, the queen said, "I don't understand anything, hurry up and ask me now."

Xiao Xuan thought for a while and said: I almost don’t know the people in the palace. Don’t even know who is, who is not worthy of the title. What should I do?

When the queen heard this, she felt that it was a problem. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly turned her eyes and said with a smile: I remembered that there was a set of paintings in the palace, which were painted by the painter Chao Zige's order. Most of the ones in the harem, who were favored, were on top. Let's take them to see if you want them?

Xiao Xuanying: This is the best

The queen smiled and glanced at him, and suddenly said: Is your injury better?

Xiao Xuan was a little confused and said: It's much better

The queen called Zan'er and ordered: Go and find Eunuch Deng, and ask him to go to the Jinxin Palace to take the set of Baisha secret scrolls immediately, and then told Yuan Chongrong that it was what the emperor wanted.

Zan'er answered, walk out of the house quickly

Isn't the scroll here? Xiao Xuan asked, thinking to himself: The name of this scroll is so strange. Since it is painted with concubines in the palace, it should be titled "Beautiful". Well, maybe I think this word is straightforward...

Not here, Chao Zige usually lives in the Palace of Jinxin, and the paintings are hidden there. The queen responded lightly.

Xiao Xuan saw that she looked a little disappointed, and she was surprised, but she couldn't ask in detail.

By the way, there are a few people tomorrow that need to be dealt with carefully. The Queen said, the first one is Yuan Chongrong, who is both a concubine and a position in Shanggong, serving Chao Zige for many years. There are also two bastards, one is Hua Wan and the other is Yue Ning, both of whom are female officials in the inner court, one is the Siwei and the other is the Zhenwei, and they are also Chao Zige's close confidants, and they are all very familiar with that guy.

Have these three people seen the true face of the demon? Xiao Xuan asked

It is very likely! The Queen said, as far as I know, the three of them are like Chao Zi Pavilion, who are all demonic Taoists and have been involved in the palace, but are ordered to be appointed to the Chao Zi Pavilion envoy

Whose order is ordered? Xiao Xuan asked

Evil Emperor Yuan Yi, a big demon who is as famous as the Seven Demon Lords and is feared by everyone! Some people say that the reason why Chao Zige fell into the path of demons was because of this person! The queen shuddered

Evil Emperor Yuan Yi... Xiao Xuan suddenly felt a trance, as if he had penetrated the three souls and six spirits, just like the moment he encountered when he saved Bi Lianlian from the underground palace

Fortunately, the devil was seriously injured and had been in seclusion. I am afraid he would not come out in a few thousand years... Alas, let's not talk about this! The queen said

Xiao Xuan was confused and said nothing for a long time

In short, you must be careful in the future and not let them get too close to you... The queen reminded her, and saw Xiao Xuan seemingly strange, and asked in surprise: What's wrong?

Xiao Xuan shook his head and said: It's okay

The queen covered his neck, rubbed his chest again, and said nervously: Don't you have the injuries on your body that are making trouble?

Xiao Xuan still shook his head and sighed, finally calmed down. Seeing that the queen cared for her so much, she couldn't help but feel moved and said with a smile: It's really okay, I think it's already good.

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard the door say: Carry in

The two looked up and saw Zan'er leading the four inner males to carry two long boxes in, looking for a place to put them down.

Empress, Eunuch Deng took the scroll and Zan'er reported with two keys

Move to the bed Queen's

The four inner officials gently moved the box into the inner pavilion, lifted it to the steps of the step of the stepping bed, slowly put it down, and didn't dare to raise his head, so he bowed and left the house.

Xiao Xuan looked at the two boxes, all filled with paint and gold, with auspicious patterns such as carp playing with lotus and mandarin ducks playing in the water, which was extremely elegant.

Open Queen's Road

The hairpin knelt down and opened the box. Two little palace maids next to it held up the lid, revealing a scroll of carefully mounted flowers and silk. The scrolls were cherry, red, green, and blue, all of which were bright and moist, and under the lights, it emitted a soft halo, as if made of good jade.

Take two volumes first, Queen's

Zaner picked up the two scrolls and sent them to the bedside

The queen took a scroll in her hand and smiled at Xiao Xuan: Do you really want to see it?

Xiao Xuan nodded in confusion

The queen tilted her mouth to the hairpin, and when she left the two little palace maids in the house, she pulled the yellow silk tie on it and slowly pushed the scroll away.

Xiao Xuan was stunned

It turned out that there was a plump woman with Chen Xiu couch on her face. She was beautiful and round. She was wearing only a big golden-painted peony gauze shirt. Her breasts were half-slim, and she looked very lazy. Her eyebrows seemed familiar. After a closer look, she said that she had teased herself from Guanyan Building that day.

There is a postscript next to it:

"Spring of the Garnish Cabinet"

Half shyly enter the gauze cabinet and tightly pull the clouds and dark clouds, clasp the rhinoceros and comb the rhinoceros and all kinds of romantic style, very delicate, infinite entertainment

The peach cheeks are fragrant and the heart is full. Why should I hesitate if I hold my waist and my body are so soft? I don’t stagger and ask the girl, what is the spring feeling?

This...isn't this Concubine Tang? Xiao Xuan asked in surprise

It's her, the queen smiled

Xiao Xuan was in a panic and wanted to turn his face away, but he was afraid that he would be too far-fetched.

Look, are your breasts so big? No one in the palace dares to compare with her. The queen smiled and pointed at the painting. A sharp onion finger was about to poke the half of the fat and crisp breasts that ran out of her clothes.

Who painted this? Xiao Xuan hurriedly asked for something, the great painter Zhou Zizhi of the imperial master said, "The Queen".

Zhou Zixiao? Xiaoxuan replied casually, only tormented and blushed, but his eyes stuck to the picture with the queen's fingers

Well, Zhou Zizhai was a great painter from Zeyang, a genius who has never been seen in a century, and his painting skills are famous all over the world. Queen's Talk

It is well drawn, and it is so vivid that it makes people see who it is painting at a glance. Xiao Xuan coughed dryly and wondered in his heart how to draw so boldly. Then he thought, this may be ordinary in the palace and it is not certain

By the way, she is the treasure daughter of the prime minister Tang Guozhang. You must spoil and coax him well in the future. Don't annoy others. The queen smiled and took a scroll from her arms and put it on the quilt and pushed it away.

Xiao Xuan was even more shocked

The scroll is a concubine, but this time she is standing next to a large bathtub, with a graceful and elegant posture, with only a transparent gauze around her body, the snow peaks and red plums, and the valley grass are all clearly visible, and the water vapor is misty. Two palace maids next to her are holding clothes, but they don’t know if they have just taken it off or are going to serve their master to put it on.

The next one is titled "Orchid Soup Fragrance", which is also accompanied by the first postscript: When the wine wakes up, the makeup is gone, the heat invades the skin, the powder and sweat are fragrant and pick the flower branches, lightly remove the sacrificial sac, slowly remove the sachet and move the orchids out of the painting hall, Huanbing the bones for the first time to try orchid soup

Returning to the boudoir, he changed his clothes to attract talented men and women, and he also took a new look.

This... this... Xiao Xuan couldn't speak for a long time. What's going on? This is almost no different from being naked!

This is Baolinyuan, Song Zhaorong, the daughter of Song Yanming, the Zuo Guanglu doctor, is well-educated and very wise.

Empress's Way

This was also painted by Zhou Zi? Xiao Xuan asked

Yes, this set of all shame secret scrolls was written by Zhou Zizhi, and Chao Zige personally selected by the Queen

Xiao Xuan was stunned and thought to himself: Why is that devil so ridiculous? He actually asked Zhou Zizhi to draw this! In this way, wouldn’t he be seen by others?

Who knows that there is something even more ridiculous. When the queen unfolds the third painting, Xiao Xuan's eyes almost fell out.

I saw a man and a woman on the jade mat by the stone of Taihu Lake. They were both half naked, their arms and legs were crossed and they were about to die. The eyebrows and eyes were vivid and vivid. Even the secrets were outlined with fine brushwork: There was a huge golden rhinoceros horn-shaped thing between the man's crotch. It was the one that Xiao Xuan saw on Chao Zige in the womb that night in the womb.

There is also a question and a postscript next to it:

"Danchun Order"

Spring is like the sea and the mud, while the weather is melting

Show the flower green, test the flower heart, like a tired butterfly sleeping

The green clouds slanted with golden hairpins, making the heart feel drunk

Because of the love, wet the silk, the tears of lovesickness on the handkerchief are not tears of lovesickness

Master Xiefang

This is definitely a spring palace, but the male protagonist is Chao Zige, and the female protagonist is a concubine I have never seen before

This is the talented man Shao Nonghong, the daughter of Shao Jizhi, the supervisor of the palace. She is smart and sharp and versatile. She is a concubine who Chao Zige has been favored recently. The Queen said.

That devil is willing to let someone draw him in? Xiao Xuandao

Well, the queen answered, maybe that guy felt happier

Did it be drawn on the spot? Xiao Xuan couldn't help asking

That's right, the queen answered

Just a few strokes are just smearing. Zhou Zihua... how dare you draw so carefully! Xiao Xuandao

This was also what Chao Zige ordered. He once said to Zhou Zizhi in person that the more carefully the painting, the better.

Xiao Xuan was dumbfounded

Chao Zige is intimate with the palace servant, but when it comes to arousing, he will summon Zhou Zizhi to paint next to him. The guy often said that wealth and honor are short and ecstasy, and only by having fun in time can you not be in vain for a walk in the world. The Queen said

In this way, wouldn’t Zhou Zi see all the concubines in the palace? Xiao Xuan murmured

It's nothing to see it all, because before Zhou Zihua made these paintings, Chao Zige had ordered people to clean him, which was no different from the eunuch in the palace. The queen looked as usual

What! Xiao Xuan was shocked and angry. In order to ask him to draw these, Chao Zige castrated this great painter...?

Now you know, how cruel, vicious, absurd and unscrupulous that guy is! The queen said, I will tell you this today, just to let you know his daily behavior so that you will not reveal any flaws in the future.

In addition, he also...he also...the queen hesitated

What else is he? Xiao Xuan couldn't help asking

Although that guy was incompetent, he liked to peek at the concubines in the palace and had sex with others. Therefore, he often wandered around in the palace and did some dirty things that were difficult to say.

Xiao Xuan felt unbelievable

I didn't lie to you, everyone knows this matter. The queen said coldly

Xiao Xuan can't speak at all

Next, the queen dismantled several paintings, almost all of which were secret dramas of Chao Zige who used the golden rhinoceros horn to visit the palace people. They were either in curtains or in makeup pavilions, in veranda or pavilions, beside rockery or ponds. The strange and clever spring scenery was hard to describe.

Xiao Xuan had never seen these secrets in the palace. He was so thrilling that he felt hot all over. He thought to himself: No wonder this set of picture scrolls is titled "shy", so that's it...

Look, do you see? The queen pointed to the golden rhinoceros horn in the painting. This thing is called Yunu Bao Rhinoceros. In addition to gold, it is also made of jade, crystal, agarwood, rhinoceros horn and ivory. It is a tribute tool for Tianji Island. There are as many as hundreds of them. It is stored in each palace and garden. Chao Zi Pavilion is actually a waste. It can be crazy in the palace. It is all because of this thing. Without them, it is a half-life immortal. It is shameful to talk to others.

Xiao Xuan suddenly realized and thought: No wonder he heard the tyrant say angrily in the secret cave that day, the three palaces and six courtyards were all decorations!

The queen said: The reason why that guy is violent and impermanent is probably because he is depressed and angry, and he cannot exaggerate himself. He is so crazy that he often makes fun of hurting the palace people, and even kills people at any time.

Xiao Xuan became more angry as he heard it, and said: Fortunately, this tyrant died and he would never harm anyone again!

Not to mention that guy, the queen said, and opened another scroll of picture scroll. Xiao Xuan's heart suddenly jumped, and his eyes attracted the scroll

This painting is a scene between a flowerbed. I saw a green grass covered with a bamboo mat. A graceful woman lying on the side of the mat. The woman's clothes were all exposed, only half of her calf and a foot that had loosened her embroidered shoes. It was much more implicit than the dozen paintings in front of her. However, the woman in the painting covered half of her cheeks with a gauze fan in her hand, and half of her eyes were dizzy and looked embarrassed and delicate.

Inscription in the painting:

"Sleeping Shoes"

Autumn water is full of eyes, spring mountain, light two moths, golden lotus, small socks, lingbo, tender face is broken by wind

The lips are like cherry blossoms, and the black silk is cleverly pulling the clouds and snails. They all doubt that Chang'e fell on the moon palace, and there is only the fragrance of the sky.

Who is this? Xiao Xuan asked in surprise, thinking that the woman in the painting was fictional by the painter? That shameful attitude is not as good as the world can have

The queen glanced at her eyes and said: This is Cheng Xueruo

Xiaoxuan was stunned. Somehow, he was obsessed with his heart. It was obvious that there was no possibility, but he felt that the person in the painting had seen it somewhere. Suddenly he blurted out: Will she come tomorrow?

She... The queen glanced at him in surprise and said: She has sent Chao Zige into the cold palace, and she would not dare to come without Xuanzhao.

He was sent to the cold palace? Why is this? Xiao Xuan asked in surprise, Chao Zige was so stunning that he was willing to inject it into the cold palace?

She is the daughter of Cheng Zhaoqi, who is gentle and intelligent, and knows some medicine and medicine. She is also very favored by Chao Zige. Zeng Ce Xianfei, because of her skin, and the name of "Snow" is also called "Snow" in her boudoir. Chao Zige also built a pillow snow pavilion on the mysterious building, so the palace calls her the snow concubine. But half a year ago, Chao Zige wanted to kill Jiang Yingcun, the assistant minister of the disciple, and Xuefei tried her best to dissuade him, saying that Jiang Yingcun was a loyal minister and could not be killed...

Why did Chao Zige kill Jiang Yingcun? Xiao Xuan asked

The queen said: Halfway through the construction of the mysterious building, Chao Zige could not wait to order people to pick up beauties from all over the place to fill in the new palace. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yingcun was dissatisfied with it. Chao Zige disagreed and advised him in front of all officials. His words were very intense, and many ministers persuaded him. However, Jiang Yingcun was upright and refused to give up. He angrily rebuked the word "crazy king". Chao Zige was furious and sat in a palace to offend the king. He ordered people to be taken to the heavenly prison and beheaded the next day.

Xiao Xuan said in his heart: Jiang Yingcun, the assistant minister of the sect, is a big loyal minister...

The queen continued: Concubine Xue was always kind, and when she heard the news, she rushed to dissuade her. Chao Zige was angry and refused to agree to spare Jiang Yingcun. She ridiculed Concubine Xue to disturb the purity of the people. Concubine Xue became anxious and threw Chao Zige's hundred opera box, saying that it would be better to behead her too. Fortunately, His Majesty, Chao Zige, was extremely angry, so she demoted her to a talented person and sent her to Qixia Palace. She has never summoned her to be lucky again.

He was so fierce... Xiao Xuan murmured, staring at the extremely shy and weak woman in the painting, and could not connect what he heard with him

Alas, if she hadn't been Cheng Zhaoqi's daughter, with Chao Zige's viciousness, she would have been punished for eight out of ten, and fortunately she was rioted. Chao Zige did not kill Jiang Yingcun immediately, and was only locked in the prison and let him die. The queen sighed

Are you still in the prison? Xiao Xuan frowned and said

I've been locked up, I'm afraid I won't see the light of day in this life. The queen nodded and said

Xiao Xuan secretly recorded the name Jiang Yingcun, and suddenly remembered the incident of Chao Zige kicking Concubine De to death, and said tremblingly: What happened to Concubine Xue later?

Later, there was no more. Concubine Xue never left Qixia Palace to worship the beloved daughter, and went to Yunzhou with her wife to fight against the rebels. Most of them were the country of the dynasty. A little bit was that she hoped that Chao Zige would pardon her daughter. She fought hard for several months and could not take Nangong Yang. The Queen said

What happened to Nangong Yang? Why did he turn against him when he heard that he was originally a pillar of the court? Xiao Xuan asked

Speaking of which, this was also a sin committed by Chao Zige! The Empress said that Nangong Yang was originally a general of the dynasty. He once followed the late emperor to fight in all directions and was granted the title of Nan'an Hou. Later, the late emperor Bintian. Nangong Yang followed the Chao Zige to conquer the fifteen tribes in the north. He had great military achievements and was also granted the title of Zhenxi Hou. He was also granted the marriage by the Empress Dowager. He sent his only beloved daughter to the palace and was granted the title of Nan'an Hou as a concubine. He was enthroned and cultivated. He was unparalleled for a while.

Isn't this very good... Xiao Xuan confused

Unexpectedly, the disaster fell from the sky at a banquet in the Forbidden Garden. Chao Zige ordered the Lingfei, who was captured from the north, to cheer up with the demon dance. Nangong Xiuyi, who was accompanying him, said something. Chao Zige suddenly started to be crazy and actually pulled her out of the meeting. He tore her apart in front of several ministers and ate with wine. All the ministers present were soft and soft. The queen said softly.

This... this demon! Madman! Xiao Xuan was shocked and angry and furious.

The news soon reached Nangong Yang's mansion. Nangong Yang was a demon king who killed people without blinking. This anger was extraordinary. He all raised his wolves and tiger generals and rushed into the forbidden palace overnight, slaughtered a lot, and then spread to the entire Yujing, killing the Empress Dowager Chao's clan in person, 267 of them.
