This was the concubine who was banished to the cold palace during the reign of Emperor Shengwu's grandfather.
After Emperor Shengwu's biological mother was sent to the cold palace, the mother and son were able to survive because of the care of Concubine Taigui.
Therefore, Emperor Shengwu was very grateful to Consort Taigui. After he ascended the throne, he took her out of the cold palace and named her Consort Taigui.
"Too expensive concubine, why is this?"
Emperor Shengwu looked deeply at the person who had secretly called him grandmother when he was young. He still found it hard to believe that it was her who did it.
If she is really the Concubine Taigui, then the origins of those assassins must be extraordinary.
For a moment, Emperor Shengwu felt that the Concubine Taigui had become mysterious.
The noble concubine spat out a mouthful of blood and smiled weakly, "What a pity, it still failed."
"I have always respected you as my grandmother."
"But I am not your grandmother."
The Grand Concubine looked at Emperor Shengwu and said with regret, "I protected your birth mother and gave birth to you safely. I only wanted to train you to deal with the royal family. Unfortunately, no matter how cruel the late emperor and the empress dowager were to you, you showed no hatred. All my efforts were in vain."
The expensive concubine looked very disappointed.
"Are you from the previous dynasty?"
Although Emperor Shengwu asked this question, he was also certain of it in his heart.
The Tai Gui Toffee did not refute and agreed.
"After planning for a lifetime, I still lost."
"The last emperor of the previous dynasty was incompetent and unjust, disregarding human ethics. The court was corrupt and the administration was incompetent..."
"Shut up, this is not a reason for your Huangfu family to steal the country."
The face of the Taigui Concubine was filled with hatred. The last emperor was her grandfather. Even if he was incompetent, her father would be a wise ruler when he ascended the throne. It would not be the turn of the traitor Huangfu to steal the country.
When the previous dynasty fell, Concubine Taigui, the daughter of the crown prince, fled the palace and hid from place to place, leading a miserable life.
When she grew up, she entered the palace with a mission, but she was not favored and was framed by other concubines and sent to the cold palace.
The noble concubine lay dormant.
She also contributed to the poison in Emperor Shengwu's body. She originally wanted to train Emperor Shengwu into a sharp blade to kill the Huangfu family.
He looked forward to it every day, and even added fuel to the fire to disrupt the situation and fuel the hatred in Emperor Shengwu's heart.
But after waiting for a long time, Emperor Shengwu did not start a massacre and raise the butcher knife against the royal family.
As she grew older day by day, she hoped that Emperor Shengwu would have a child.
This time, the Concubine Taigui wanted to put the blame on the Empress Dowager, but she didn't expect that the assassins were so useless that they were found out by Emperor Shengwu.
She didn't know that this was because Bei Lingyao used her spiritual sense to interfere and ruined her plan.
"Then I have indeed disappointed the noble concubine. The great empire of Dagan will flourish in my hands."
At this moment, Emperor Shengwu looked at the dying Concubine Taigui with a cold expression.
The victor takes all, what else is there to say?
It wasn't the Huangfu family that first revolted.
Even without the Huangfu family, the previous dynasty would still have failed.
It’s just because the Huangfu family was a minister of the previous dynasty.
The last emperor not only disregarded human ethics, but also took the wife of his ministers. How could the Huangfu family not rebel?
Therefore, Emperor Shengwu was not at all inferior to the Grand Concubine Tai.
"But I still want to thank the Noble Concubine. Although your intentions were impure at the beginning, you gave me the opportunity to be born. I once hated and resented you, but now I am truly grateful.
If it weren't for the Imperial Concubine Tai Gui, I wouldn't have had the chance to become the Crown Prince, wouldn't have had the chance to become the Great Emperor, and wouldn't have met Yao Er and had my own children."
Puff! The Tai Gui Concubine spat out another mouthful of blood, having exhausted her last bit of energy. Her eyes were wide open, and she died with her eyes open.
After leaving Ningshou Palace, Emperor Shengwu felt a chill all over his body.
Bei Lingyao had heard of the Grand Concubine Dowager after entering the palace, but she stayed in the palace and would not see anyone.
But I didn't expect that they were the remnants of the previous dynasty.
Emperor Shengwu said, "I originally wanted to wait until you were one month old, then I would make you empress and take you to meet her."
"Your Majesty, don't be sad. You still have me and Yao'er."
Bei Lingyao comforted Emperor Shengwu, but in her heart she was thinking about the original owner's memories.
In the original owner's memory, there was no mention of the person named Taigui Taifei at all.
If she hadn't used her spiritual sense to let the two assassins summon the Taigui Concubine, the Taigui Concubine would have been hiding in the dark and causing trouble, and she would probably have died without being discovered.
"I'm not sad, I have you."
Emperor Shengwu buried his head in Bei Lingyao's neck.
The Empress Dowager and the Grand Princess's faction fought each other in the court, throwing dirty water at each other, and Emperor Shengwu took the opportunity to punish their people.
They didn't expect that a remnant of the previous dynasty, the Concubine Taigui, would appear. They immediately felt that they had been tricked by Emperor Shengwu.
Of course they knew about this person, but she was just a disfigured woman in the cold palace. Even though she was taken to Ningshou Palace by Emperor Shengwu for care, she always acted as an invisible person. They really ignored this person.
The Empress Dowager and the Grand Princess were filled with awe and kept staring at Emperor Shengwu, but they had never expected that there was such a dangerous person in the palace.
Fortunately, they were targeting the Yu Fu Palace. If they had come for them, they would have been hard to defend against.
It's a pity that as long as Emperor Shengwu doesn't look like the previous emperor, they can use the remnants of the previous dynasty to attack Emperor Shengwu.
The Empress Dowager hoped that Emperor Shengwu was not the son of the late emperor.
Unfortunately, Emperor Shengwu's facial features were too similar to those of the late emperor. Once he was taken out of the cold palace, no one would suspect that he was not the late emperor's son.
On the other hand, Prince Fu was said by the late emperor to resemble me, but he only resembles me in that he is fat. His facial features are squeezed by the fat and cannot be seen clearly. I don’t know whether he looks like me or not.
Anyway, he has nothing in common with Emperor Shengwu.
After the death of Concubine Taigui, Emperor Shengwu once again carried out a major purge of the harem of the previous dynasty to eliminate the rebels of the previous dynasty.
The power of the Queen Mother and the Grand Princess's party was once again weakened, and a sense of crisis arose in their hearts.
Prince Fu even went to the palace and had a quarrel with the Queen Mother, which created a rift between mother and son. The Queen Mother was still nice to Prince Fu, but Prince Fu became increasingly dissatisfied with the Queen Mother.
"How's Becky?"
Prince Fu suddenly thought of Bei Hongjiao.
The eunuch in attendance said, "Beiji has been staying in the courtyard without leaving the house."
"Let's go and take a look."
Prince Fu's personal visit to Bei Hongjiao's yard alarmed the entire backyard.
After Bei Hongjiao broke her leg, she has been lying in bed. If it weren't for the money that Old Lady Bei sent to help her from time to time, she would have died in the yard without anyone knowing.
When Prince Fu came over, he saw Bei Hongjiao with numb eyes and despair.
"Becky, the prince is here to see you."
The eunuch in attendance stepped forward and reminded him.
Bei Hongjiao's reaction was a little slow. She looked at Prince Fu with a dull gaze, and there was only a wooden expression on her face, without any excitement at all.
Prince Fu was dissatisfied with Bei Hongjiao's attitude, but he endured it and attacked the servants in Bei Hongjiao's yard.
Bei Hongjiao was promoted to a concubine, and all the servants were replaced.
Prince Fu even ordered someone to build a wheelchair for Bei Hongjiao, and Bei Hongjiao was finally able to get out and see the light of day again.
The wives and concubines in Prince Fu's mansion were all shocked. They didn't expect that Bei Hongjiao could still be favored like this.
When the concubines paid their respects, they all gathered in the main courtyard.
"Princess, what's happening to the prince?"
The concubines were all very curious. Bei Hongjiao was disabled, so how could she regain favor?
Princess Fu was not dissatisfied with Bei Hongjiao's restoration to favor, but a cripple who posed no threat was not worth her attention.
But Prince Fu is probably like this now because of that person in the palace.
After all, they are cousins, and even if their bones are broken, their tendons are still connected.
