Chapter 75 Big trap waiting for you to jump
In the end, Qingyang Shuoyi made a painful decision to carry Shu Xiaoya into the cave at the back of the National Temple, assisted by Jin Laoyin, and Old Xie guarded the cave entrance in July, and began a five-day and five-night retreat.
That night, Shu He struggled to wake up from the nightmare again and again, and fear enveloped him like a net.After that, he didn't dare to fall asleep again, leaning against Shu Xiaoya's cradle alone, Shu He looked out of the window, the dark night made it hard for him to breathe like a flood.
The next day, news broke out in the capital that the emperor was assassinated last night, and the noble concubine Wen Wanqiu was injured. Her life was hanging by a thread. The only wish of the noble concubine was to see the eldest prince. The emperor immediately sent a thousand guards to the temple to forcefully invite the queen and the eldest princeback to the palace.
Facing Ying Qi, the leader, Shu He asked concerned: "How is the imperial concubine injured?"
Responding to his bending down but no respect, "Going back to the queen, the noble concubine blocked the sword for the emperor, lost a lot of blood, and is now unconscious. The emperor knows that the empress misses the eldest prince, so in order to let the empress wake up as soon as possible, he sent this small official to welcome the empress."Empress."
meet?It's really nice to say.
Shu He nodded and said nothing more, turned to Yu Xiang and said, "Let the nanny bring the eldest prince back to the palace."
"Yes."
Yingqi watched Yu Xiang leave, his browbones were raised slightly, the queen was so easy to talk, this result was not what they expected, even the emperor thought that the queen would put on airs, at least make a fuss, that's why he asked him to bring so many people, the purpose is to deter the queen, but the queen offered to return to the palace after only a few words?
He couldn't help being puzzled, he didn't have much contact with the queen, and all his knowledge came from the mouth of the emperor and prince. The queen they talked about was absolutely vicious, vicious, and extremely difficult to deal with.But right now...Ying Qi is sizing up the queen inconspicuously, with plain clothes and makeup, a figure like Liu Fufeng, a sickly and delicate face, and an elegant and calm demeanor, is such a person really as unbearable as the legends say?
Should he be in a daze, Shu He couldn't help but look at him amusedly, and he could guess what he was thinking just from his expression.
"Why does Commander Ying look at this Highness so much?"
Ying Qi woke up instantly, knelt down on one knee, "Your servant should die!"
Absolutely damn it!It is a big taboo for military strategists to stand in a daze in front of the enemy. At that moment just now, if Baili Qianliu had the intention to kill, he would have died a hundred times earlier!
At this time, Yu Xiang came in with the nanny and the eldest prince, glanced at the kneeling kneeling in response, and murmured disdainfully.
"Your Majesty, Master Lu is ready and ready to go at any time." Yu Xiang said.
Shu He nodded and lifted his feet, walked to the door and turned back with a smile, "Commander Ying, it's time to go, do you still want to keep kneeling?"
Ying Qi stood up in embarrassment, "Thank you, empress, for your forgiveness." After finishing speaking, he followed Shu He with his head down, almost inseparable.
Shu He didn't care, and went to bid farewell to the abbot of the National Temple. He looked at the mountains behind with nostalgia, and left with the huge team.
Hope to see you again after this farewell...
Without stopping, the three-hour journey was reduced to less than two hours. This team is full of imperialists, and they don't care about Shu He's physical condition. They only follow Xuan Fuzhi's order to get the first princeTake it back to the concubine.
The bumps along the way caused Shu He to cough up blood as soon as he entered the gate of the imperial city, Yu Xiang cried out in fright, and was about to shout to stop outside the carriage, Shu He took a quick step to cover her mouth.
"It's okay, don't make any noise."
Yu Xiang obediently bit her lower lip, trembling all over, took out the medicine bottle.
Shu He struggled to swallow a pill, his body that had been hollowed out could fall down at any time, and he could survive into the palace only with his will to not admit defeat.Shu He didn't go to see Xuan Fuzhi, nor did he have the strength to go there, so he handed over the eldest prince to Ying Qi and went straight back to the Eastern Palace.
The moment the Eastern Palace gate opened and closed, Shu He fainted completely, and Yu Xiang couldn't help crying out loud while holding him.
However, what made Yu Xiang feel even more chilled was that the grandeur and prosperity of the Eastern Palace no longer existed. The place that was once used by the two masters as a battlefield was still kept as it was, with broken tiles and walls, depression and mess, overgrown with weeds, like a cold palace.
Tianhui walked around the entire Eastern Palace, found a room with the least damage, and carried Shu He into it.
All this made Yu Xiang more and more sad, and also more and more angry. She looked at the blue-faced Shu He distressedly, and rushed out with her sword.
"What are you doing!" Tianhui stopped her.
Yu Xiang cried and lowered her voice, not daring to vent, "Kill the dog emperor!" Why do you treat her son like this?Damn it!All to die!
"Don't mess around!" Tianhui pulled her to the front yard, pointed at the messy scene and said, "This has nothing to do with Xuan Fuzhi, it should be my young master who got into a fight here, of course, Xuan Fu won't fix it laterIt must have been done on purpose, but we shouldn't pursue these things now, I'm guarding the young master, you go to Wu Shan immediately and ask him to send some trustworthy people over."
Yu Xiang let go of her tightly clenched fists, she is not stupid and knows what to do now.
"You look at my son, I'm going to the Wu Mansion." Yu Xiang gritted her teeth and turned around.
Tianlu looked at her back and sighed, maybe it would be best for Baili Qianliu to leave here, but with such a body, it doesn't matter whether she leaves or not.
What's more, there are still those people who won't let him go...
The news of the queen's return to the palace spread in the harem in an instant. With the downfall of Wu Shan party officials one by one, the imperial party grew stronger, and there was less threat in the palace. Now the harem, especially some new concubines, are very loyal to the queen.If there is less fear, most of them just avoid it.
In Lingqing Palace, Ye Linger's servant girl suddenly ran in in a panic, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's not good!"
"What's wrong?"
"Suddenly, officials from the Yanran Palace came to criticize and said that it was an inspection by order. As a result, the man's belongings were found in Ning Jieyu's room. It is said that the empress Jieyu will be dealt with according to the palace rules!"
"what?"
Ye Linger's complexion turned pale immediately. According to the palace rules, finding a man's belongings in a concubine's residence is a capital offense!
Ye Ling'er, who grew up with Ning Ru, naturally knew that Ning Ru had a relationship with her before she entered the palace. The helplessness of the two can only be understood by each other..Ye Linger suddenly remembered the purse that Ning Ru showed her a few days ago, could it be that so-called man's thing?
Ye Linger took a step back in a daze. Ning Ru had only shown the purse to her. Now that someone reported it, she must be the first person Ning Ru suspected.If it was found out, then Ning Ru would not be able to get away with it, especially when the imperial concubine was injured and the emperor was in a particularly bad mood, it would definitely be a death penalty!
who is it?Who is so vicious!Not only did it harm Ning Ru, but it also involved her!Ye Linger clutched his stomach and supported the table, trembling a little.wrong!Ye Linger tapped his fingers deeply on the table. Ning Ru had never had any grudges with others and was not favored by the emperor. Those concubines had no need to deal with Ning Ru, so they came for her!
Ye Linger sneered and stood up straight, what a vicious plan, the reason is that she is pregnant with a dragon?Or jealous of her status and favor?Ye Linger settled down, and the corners of her mouth lightly raised. Although she doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, it doesn't mean she's easy to bully!
"Go, this Highness is going to Yanran Palace!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Yanran Palace has long been tightly guarded by the guards in the inner court. It is estimated that not a single fly can fly out. When Ye Linger walked to the door, although the guards saluted respectfully, they blocked them from entering.
"Concubine Ling, please forgive me. The servants also follow the emperor's order and forbid anyone to enter Yanran Palace." A head guard explained.
"Oh? Really! What did the emperor say?" Ye Linger stared at the guard with no expression on his face.
"Go back to your mother." The guard folded his fists and lowered his head, "The emperor ordered to guard Yanran Palace closely."
If a man is cuckolded, this woman will be angry no matter whether he loves it or not, especially the Ninth Five-Year Lord, even if you give him a lingering execution, he will not be able to make up for his lost face.
Ye Linger sneered, "The reason why the emperor asked you to keep a tight watch is that someone in Yanran Palace would sneak out, but he didn't say that no one would be allowed to enter. You are now refusing this Highness at the door, because you want this Highness to take the prince to ask the emperor for orders?"
"The slaves don't dare to let the empress run around, it's just that the holy life is difficult." Saying dare not, the meaning is to hope that the other party will make a trip.
Ye Linger was not polite, and said resolutely: "I will go in this Highness for a while, if you are worried, you can follow this Highness, if Ning Jieyu disappears or something, you can use this Highness to report to the emperor."
"Mother, the servants have no intention of offending, but please forgive me for not having the emperor's will." The guard's attitude became tough.
Ye Linger hit a wall, although he was unhappy in his heart, but he would not force himself to stand out at this moment.
"Very good, since this is the case, then this Highness will personally go to the imperial study to ask for an order."
Ye Linger took the maid to leave, and the guards guarding the gate breathed a sigh of relief. Although the concubine Linger is usually low-key, she has always been favored by the emperor. Sometimes the emperor may not listen to something that the concubine tells, but if it is changed to a concubine, the emperor will definitely take it to heart.
After walking far away, the servant girl asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are we really going to the Imperial Study Room?"
"Return to Lingqing Palace." Ye Linger turned her face slightly, watching Yanran Palace, which was gradually retreating, continue to move forward. She wanted to see who dared to break ground on her head after eating the ambitious leopard.
In Luyou Pavilion, Li You felt cold when she heard about this incident. When would such a thing not happen, it happened to coincide with the day when the queen returned to the palace and the noble concubine fell into a coma. It was such a coincidence that she had to suspect that someone was behind the scenes.
"Sister You, what do you think about this?" Xu Feifei asked without assertiveness.
Li You took a sip of tea and gave her an analysis, "The noble concubine is in charge of Fengyin, she should have handled this matter, but now she is unconscious... Originally, under special circumstances, as the concubine with the highest status in the harem other than the empress and noble concubine, she could act on her behalf.Deal with it, Concubine Ling has friendship with Ning Jieyu, she will definitely let her go, given the status of Concubine Ling in the Emperor's mind, the Emperor will not say anything, Ning Jieyu will naturally survive."
Li You paused, and Xu Feifei continued without foolishness: "But the queen is back, and this job will naturally fall on the queen. No matter how the queen handles it, she will offend others!"
"Yes." Li You was worried, "Killing Ning Jieyu will definitely offend Concubine Ling. If anyone in this palace is said to be the most difficult to deal with, Concubine Ling will be counted. But if you don't kill, you will offend the emperor. If the empress is so important to the country's dignityIf it is not handled properly, with the current power of the emperor, he can use this to abolish the empress!"
"So ruthless!"
"It's not so ruthless, it's only more ruthless. Now we can only see what the queen does."
