Turbulent Times Chapter 1203: The killing intent behind gentleness

"Your Majesty, don't blame them, the concubine came here because she was worried that Your Majesty would be angry!" Empress Xiao replied gently, as if sitting in her arms was a child who was angry.

Yang Guang has always loved and respected Empress Xiao. Empress Xiao was born in the south with the surname Xiao, regardless of her bloodline, character, appearance, or wisdom, she is a talent chosen among thousands. For so many years of knotting and hair, no matter the happy days or the days of fear, the two of them have always supported each other through the journey.

In those days when Jin Wangfu pretended to be frugal in order to win the heir, Xiao never complained about the hardship of life. When entering the world of the imperial palace mother, Xiao did not forget her duty as a wife because she was too happy. Apart from the fact that she favored her second son, Yang Hao, Yang Guang was always very satisfied with Empress Xiao, and the two had a very deep relationship. It is also the reason why there are not many concubines in Yang Guang's harem after so many years.

"Oh, I'm so wronged!" Yang Guanghong sighed, raised his head from Empress Xiao's embrace, and stretched out his hand to push away the memorial beside him.

Empress Xiao smiled and moved her body, using her hands and feet to fold the surrounding memorials to her side. Pick up one by one and put them in piles.

"Alas!" Yang Guang sighed again, turned sideways, and made a pile of memorials near his arms.

"Come here, Your Majesty, take a break!" Empress Xiao said softly, her voice was as soft as a spring breeze, falling in Yang Guang's ears, but it was comforting his wounded heart, while speaking, Empress Xiao quickened her movements and vacated the carpet between the two of them.

"Your Majesty, why should you be so angry!" Empress Xiao casually placed the memorial at her feet, and comforted her in a low voice.

"They are making rumors based on rumors!" Yang Guang straightened his body, tried to make his wife more comfortable, and said through gritted teeth: "I can bear other rumors, but there are some things in those rumors that I can't do at all. But they all seemed to have seen it with their own eyes, and they spoke clearly and logically!"

"Rumours only stop at wise men! Your Majesty ignores them. After a long time, it will naturally subside!" Empress Xiao stretched her shoulders, and gently hugged Yang Guang in her arms, comforting Yang Guang's injury with all her tenderness mind.

"They said that I was a prostitute, obsessed with beauty and abandoned the government, and...

" Yang Guang shook his head helplessly, and continued: "These damned people even said that I sent someone to assassinate Yang Su because I was greedy for Zhang Lihua's beauty! "

"Pfft!" Empress Xiao couldn't help laughing out, "This...these things are unfounded. Even if His Majesty really likes a woman, it's His Majesty's private matter, and it has nothing to do with them!"

Empress Xiao's smile is still very gentle, falling into Yang Guang's eyes, making her mind gradually stabilize and calm down.

"Aren't you angry at all?" Yang Guang asked with a look of surprise.

"Zhang Lihua has been dead for more than 20 years. Even if she didn't die back then, she is still over 60 years old now, a chicken-skinned and white-haired old lady. What is the reason for my concubine to compete with her? As for the few in the palace Sister, no one knows who Your Majesty is addicted to and who he doesn't like better than this concubine, so why listen to outsiders' gossip!" Empress Xiao replied faintly, looking at the flowing clouds outside the window.

His Majesty the Emperor is not a lecherous person. If he insists that he is obsessed with beauty, he may be the most obsessed.

"Although the queen is a woman, she is much smarter than those officials!" Yang Guang praised with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, these rumors are obviously spread intentionally, and they can be spread in such a short period of time. They must have some means to spread rumors quickly in their hands." Empress Xiao's eyes flashed, and she helped Yang solemnly. wide analysis.

Yang Guang looked deeply convinced, nodded and said: "What the queen said is very true. From the queen's opinion, who is the thief behind this?"

Empress Xiao thought for a while and said: "I heard that the folk Xiaoyu Theater is popular all over the world, and many people believe in the stories told by the storytellers and the performances. These rumors have spread in such a short period of time. It has been spread around the world, could it be related to this Xiaoyu Theater."

Yang Guang shook his body, gritted his teeth and said, "The Empress, do you know whose family owns the Xiaoyu Theater?"

Empress Xiao had a flash of coldness in the depths of her eyes, she shook her head and said, "I stay in the palace all day, how can I know such things, Your Majesty can ask the blue-clothed guard Xu Jingzong to investigate, it must be very difficult Will find out soon."

"The queen is right," Yang Guang immediately sent the lady outside the door

The supervisor called in, and delivered an order: "Pass an order to Xu Jingzong, let him find out whose property the Xiaoyu Theater is, and whether it is secretly spreading these rumors."

…

…

As the only representative of the Yuwen family, the son-in-law Duwei Yuwenshi and the only representative of the Yuwen family participated in the Great Court Meeting today. He witnessed and participated in the group of ministers blocking the decision of His Majesty the Emperor to form the Far East Marching Commander's Mansion. He felt very happy, but when he thought of The father and younger brother took the antidote given by Wang Junlin, but they didn't seem to get better, so their hearts sank again.

Father and younger brother Yu Wenzhiji were ill in bed, elder brother Yu Wenhuaji was unwilling to let Wang Junlin escape like this, and took all the force that the Yuwen family could muster to chase Wang Junlin, hoping to find an opportunity to kill Wang Junlin, so now All the affairs of Yuwen's family are supported by him alone, and he has no leisure for a moment from morning to night every day.

The frowning Yuwen Shiji had just turned onto Suzaku Avenue, before stepping into the stirrups. There were already more than a dozen family members who were panting and gathered around. Before Yu Wenshi could ask any questions, the housekeeper who took the lead cried with red eyes: "Second Young Master, you are back. Master, Master, he is about to die, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh ..."

"What?

"Master had some tea at noon today, so he was eager to hear the second son's report on the court's movements. As a result, after waiting for more than an hour, you did not return. The master was upset and wanted to get up and go out for a walk. , and helped him straighten up from the bed, half of the master's body suddenly turned black!" The old housekeeper who had been in Yuwen's house for many years was crying and reporting with snot and tears.

"Why don't you hurry up and invite the doctor, what are you waiting for me to do?" Yuwen Shiji asked loudly with anxiety.

"Please, several well-known antidote doctors in the capital have come, and they all say that they can't recover." The old housekeeper cried.

Note: According to official history records, Yang Guang and Empress Xiao had a deep relationship, which resulted in Yang Guang accepting very few concubines, which was completely different from the philandering emperor in the unofficial history. Empress Xiao gave birth to Yang Zhao for Yang Guang when he was seventeen years old. Calculated according to the age of a woman's childbearing, she was over sixty when she returned to Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it is pure nonsense that Unofficial History said that Li Shimin was accepted in the harem.
