Xianjin was so shocked that his head hit when he heard this.
Green plum cannot defeat the one that falls from the sky?
Or red roses and white roses, cinnabar mole and mosquito blood?
He had taken in too much information and his emotions fluctuated greatly in one night. Xianjin rubbed his temples and a look of fatigue appeared on his face.
Qiao Hui stopped talking at the right time: "How about we talk about it another day?"
Xianjin poured himself a cup of tea and glanced at the clock. It was already three quarters past midnight (12:45 am). After thinking about it, he changed the tea into warm water. He gestured to Qiao Hui to wait a moment and went behind the screen. When he came out, he had changed into a more comfortable and loose linen short-sleeved home shirt. There were drops of water on his cheeks, probably because he had wiped his face.
Xianjin sat down on the beauty couch, touched his hair and whispered, "I didn't take off my hair."
I went to the Honglu Temple during the day and dressed more carefully. I asked the maid from the Qiao Mansion to help me with a slightly complicated bun. Professionals are different. She is very skillful. She tied her hair left and right and inserted a few pearl hairpins and tassels. This outfit made her look very imposing when she was yelling at people just now.
Even doing a hairstyle requires help, and letting the hair down, Zhao Xianjin’s handicraft skills are probably not good enough.
Xianjin was about to pull Suoer off the bed.
"Let me do it."
Xianjin's shoulders were held down by someone.
Qiao Hui was slow and measured, his movements gentle, bit by bit, combing Xian Jin's hair like combing a treasure, and he said, "Lie down, close your eyes, I will tell you slowly, if you fall asleep, I will tell you again later."
The hair brushed against the veined hands.
Qiao Hui stood behind Xianjin, took out a hairpin with a millet bead flower pattern, and slowly placed it aside.
Xianjin's face suddenly turned red.
It's like a piece of clothing being taken off...
Qiao Hui said, "When Concubine Gao entered the palace, she was immediately a concubine and given the title 'Hui'. Although she was not of prominent birth, the Gao family opened a pharmacy to relieve the epidemic and the entire family was destroyed, which gave her the titles of 'loyalty' and 'righteousness'. When the empress dowager took the Gao sisters to the capital, it was destined that a girl would enter the palace and marry into a wealthy family - the court must set an example for the world to see, that those who are loyal and righteous will surely become rich and powerful and get what they want."
While taking off her hair ornaments, Qiao Hui said softly, "Everyone thinks that Concubine Gao's entry into the palace is just a decoration. After all, the Saint and the Queen are in perfect harmony and have a son."
Xianjin looked up suddenly: "What?"
Qiao Hui's fingers were entangled in the hair. He was not in a hurry to remove them. Instead, he gently stroked the delicate hair with his fingertips and nodded slightly: "Yes, the abdicated emperor once had a legitimate eldest son."
Yes.
Qiao Hui raised her eyebrows, gently put down her hair that had been stripped of all its complicated decorations, turned around and sat beside Xianjin: "He died at the age of three - and you were just born. I found a palace maid who was released from the inner palace. She didn't hold an important position. She was just a little maid in the Ministry of Rites who was responsible for wiping sacrificial silverware. She remembered very clearly that year, the eldest prince's death anniversary was not held, but your full moon banquet was very grand, so grand that all the silverware in the Ministry of Rites was transferred out."
Xianjin opened his lips, but didn't know what to say for a long time.
Qiao Hui shrugged and tried to make his tone more relaxed: "It sounds like our Xianjin loved silver when he was a child."
The deliberately lighthearted tone did not make the whole thing any more joyful.
Xianjin curled up on the beauty couch, hugged his knees with his hands, rested his chin on his knees, and stared blankly ahead.
Qiao Hui watched quietly: "So, it is understandable that Queen Lu wanted to kill Concubine Gao. What's more, when you were three years old, Concubine Gao was diagnosed with pregnancy again. When you were four months pregnant, the imperial physician issued a diagnosis that the probability of it being a boy was very high."
"This imperial physician is Doctor Wang."
Qiao Hui said.
Xianjin took a deep breath but didn't exhale for a long time. She suddenly remembered the first time she met Doctor Wang, the old man asked her tentatively, "Have you ever had a heart disease?"...
So, the original owner, He Xianjin, did suffer from a heart disease, right?
After falling into the cold water, she suffered a sudden heart attack and died of heart problems, just like in her previous life.
This weird... fatalistic closed loop...
Xianjin raised his chin slightly and looked at Qiao Hui with a confused look: "What happened next? What happened to Princess Bai'an after she returned to the capital?"
Qiao Hui's expression was calm. "I deposed Empress Lu, demoted her to a commoner, and sent her to the Wanguo Temple to become a nun. I killed Lieutenant General Lu on the spot, massacred many officers and generals of the Capital Command, and rebuilt the Xishan Camp, the Imperial Guard Camp, and the Capital Command according to military orders, turning one power into three powers to ensure the absolute loyalty of the capital."
"Then what?"
"For the rebels, we arrested a dozen or so small leaders, and dealt with the rest strictly according to the law. Those who had murder cases were sentenced accordingly, and those who had not been involved in bloodshed were sent back to their hometowns to farm. For the refugees, the same treatment was applied, and most of them had not been involved in life-threatening cases, so they were sent back to their hometowns."
"No more?"
“No more.”
Xianjin looked at Qiao Hui with confusion: "Where is Lord Li?"
Qiao Hui smiled and asked, "What did Lord Li do wrong?"
Xian Jinchen thought about it.
yes.
What did Lord Li do wrong?
Li Ge Lao just implemented the reform. If he said it was a reform, it was the abdication of the emperor. If he said it was not a reform, it was also the abdication of the emperor...
"Where are the other members of the Lu family?" Xianjin asked again.
Qiao Hui replied: "No problem, you can take the exams if you want to, and you can be an official if you want to. Lieutenant General Lu has been punished for coercing the abdicated emperor. He did not threaten the abdicated emperor's life. Even the bowl of medicine is an abortion drug or a death drug. Who made it is still an unsolved case. What right do you have to kill all his clans?"
