353 Confrontation
Two flesh-and-blood bodies were thrown in the main hall, and the maids of the inner palace stood beside the queen mother, and their morale was slaughtered.
The queen and her party fell to their knees, bowing their heads and being silent.
"Queen, do you know these two assassins?" said the Queen Mother's cold voice from the high seat.
The queen closed her eyes with heavy eyebrows, and said softly: "After returning to her mother, Yinsi Yinhong accompanied the concubines into the palace from the Leng Mansion, and she was also the eldest female official sent by the concubines to serve by Shuang'er. ”
"Heh, now these two big female officials dare to sneak into the palace of the mourning family to assassinate, I don't know what the queen has to explain this?"
"Please calm the anger of the queen mother, the concubine will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give the queen mother an explanation!" the queen frowned, and there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
The concubine Hu Yandie, who was sitting on one side, covered her lips and smiled coquettishly: "Oh, the Queen Mother, a few days ago, in the Guiyun Hall of the Fifth Princess, these two cheap maids were very rude to the Fifth Princess, and they used the power of the queen to suppress the princess at every turn, and the concubines looked really distressed." ”
The Queen Mother swept her eyes coldly and said nothing to Hu Yandie's words.
"Since the queen has no explanation, then wake up these two thieves!"
At this time, the shrill voice of the inner attendant came from outside the hall: "The saint has arrived, the palace master of the Star Palace has arrived, and the fifth princess has arrived!"
"It's just in time!Hmph..."The queen mother stared at the queen's flowery face, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Don't help the queen up, so she can serve!"
The attendants who followed the queen knelt and did not dare to move, while several attendants around the queen mother stepped forward one after another, and sat the queen on the square chair with half pulled and half supported.
There was silence in the hall, and this kind of behavior seemed to have become commonplace, and they all lowered their eyebrows and did not dare to say more.
"Queen Mother!" Beichen Wang Xingse hurriedly came in, glanced at the queen first, and then walked to the queen mother and sat down, "Queen mother, my son has not seen you for many days, remember it, and I will come over today to say goodbye." ”
Gongyishuang and Zai Yubo bowed to the Queen Mother at the bottom, and sat down quietly, as if they were ignoring the people who were kneeling on the ground.
"Heh, didn't you come to see me, an eyesore old woman, have you lost your breath?" the Queen Mother sneered.
King Beichen stretched out his hand to cover the back of the queen mother's hand, and said softly: "The queen mother's blessing is the son's most earnest wish, and now the foreign enemy is driving straight in, and the son is preparing to drive the royal expedition in the near future, and the palace still needs the queen mother to take care of it!"
When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyebrows narrowed, and she looked at this unsightly son, "Oh, when will you leave?"
"Three days later. ”
The Queen Mother looked at Zai Yubo in the lower seat with sharp eyebrows, and saw that the corners of the other party's lips were smiling and looking up, and her fearless appearance made her feel a little clear in her heart, that Nanxing might be right.
She looked at the queen's gaze again, and there was no three points of anger, "The queen is not able to control the palace people, and she will be grounded in the Mingxin Hall until the saint triumphs!"
Just when King Beichen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he saw the queen suddenly get up and kneel on the ground with a 'bang', "Queen Mother, if you want to hold the concubine accountable, the concubine will never complain, ask the queen mother and Your Majesty to give the concubine a chance to redeem the merits, go to Gulin Road with Your Majesty to fight the enemy army, and save General Leng!"
"Presumptuous! Queen, don't forget your identity, as the mother of the country, you should guard the rear, protect the saints and soldiers without worry, but you have repeatedly wanted to lead the troops to the battle, is this to tell the world that I have no generals in Beichen?"
The queen stubbornly knelt on the ground, stalked her neck and did not speak.
At this time, the two assassins lying on the ground gradually regained their senses, groaned and twisted their necks, and when they saw the surroundings clearly, one of them called out softly: "Five princesses!
Gongyishuang sat indifferently on one side, ignoring it.
Then the king of Beichen asked, "Queen Mother, what's the matter?"
The Queen Mother lowered her eyes slightly, showing a bit of mockery in her expression, and did not explain.
Yueji took a few steps forward and bowed, and replied: "Back to the saint's words, last night these two assassins sneaked into the Empress Dowager's palace to assassinate, one of them was arrested on the spot, and the other chased outside the Yongning Palace and was captured by the Praetorian Guards. ”
"Shuang'er, aren't these the two silver threads in your palace?" King Beichen had already recognized these two familiar faces, and said coldly.
Gongyi Shuang, who was named, got up and walked to the hall, didn't look at the two assassins, and didn't care about the queen who was kneeling on the ground, just gave a blessing, "This is the old man next to the queen mother, who was raised by Shuang'er in the Guiyun Palace, and Shuang'er doesn't know why they would do such a rebellious thing." ”
Her cold beautiful eyes stared at Yinsi, who was still a little confused, "Mama Yinsi, the palace master is not thin on you on weekdays, how can you do everything to Guiyun Palace?"
"No, no... The slave didn't... Dowager... The saints are above, the slaves... By the way, it was the queen mother who used her family to blackmail the slave and maid to assassinate the queen mother, just because the queen mother mentioned to the saint to let the old general Leng go out to fight against the enemy, so the queen mother held a grudge!"
"Nonsense! When did this palace meet you and say such a thing!" the queen finally couldn't hold back and scolded angrily!
Ziye suddenly stopped in front of the queen, bowed deeply to the queen mother and the king of Beichen on the seat, and then said: "The queen mother, the saint is above, Rong Nu and the maid are Rongyu, and the two of them were born in the Leng Mansion, and there is only one eldest brother in the family who went out with the old general Leng on the expedition, presumably the person who died in the battle report should be a soldier with the name Leng Yinjun, which is their eldest brother." Now they dare to take the body of a dead person and make up lies to frame the queen mother, please saint, please the queen mother!"
Gongyi Shuang and Zai Yubo's complexions changed, and the eyes that looked at Ziye again were all murderous.
A figure outside the hall was hidden among the shadows of the trees, causing the branches and leaves to move slightly, and it was only for a moment, and there was no trace in the blink of an eye.
Guiyun Hall is quite high, surrounded by clear lakes in front of the palace, and the shadow of the green cypress tree will cover the whole temple in it, which is unique, like an island in the middle of the lake.
You Xue landed on the ridge of the roof from a high branch, jumped into the bathhouse, and sneaked into the dormitory of Gongyi Frost along the steaming bath.
The heavy scent of charm made her sneeze violently, she shook her head, and she forgot to take the antidote to charm this time.
But probably because the pill Guan Cunshan gave her had an effect, she began to be immune to this incense, and she still remembered that when she smelled this incense from Gongyi Lingfeng for the first time, her heart blood was surging and nosebleeds flowed, which was simply too embarrassing.
The dormitory was surprisingly quiet, and there was no one!
She recalled in her mind that Zi Ye had told her that the Qinglu Ding placed the soul of Aode, and began to search for the lattice of the dormitory, just when her fingers touched a box glowing with purple and cyan light in the high place, she suddenly felt the blood in her body begin to boil, and the familiar feeling of suffocation was like the fake 'Heavenly Spine Jade' that she saw for the first time in Heishui Village, and the blood flowed violently in the meridians.
She already knew what was in her heart, but how could she give up, so she gathered all her spiritual power to fight against this strange power, and struggled to hold the purple-blue black box in her arms with both hands.
But I don't know what strange power is hidden in this box, stimulated by her spiritual power, and it began to roll out with white smoke, and the soul-devouring power made You Xue a little trance.
At this moment, a blue light suddenly swept in front of her, and the black box in her hand was picked up and flew on the brocade couch.
In a trance, You Xue looked at her empty hands, and was stunned to see that the bamboo-blue figure appeared in front of her.
"Dawn clouds," she called softly.
