Cining Palace

"What are you doing in a panic, are there any rules?" Although everyone in Cining Palace has been ordered to close the palace, and no news from outside is allowed to be sent out, but the Empress Dowager Liu, who has been chasing power all her life, is still unwilling, and the whole person is more and more irritable.

But since she had already agreed to Emperor Xuan, she was unwilling and unwilling to make concessions, and there was no reason or excuse to regret it.

What's more, Emperor Xuan is the only son of Empress Dowager Liu after all, and she still doesn't want to give up the last bit of affection between her and her biological son.

"The slave deserves to die, please forgive the mother. ”

"You're damned. ”

Mama Zhu knelt on the ground and didn't dare to take a breath, knowing that her actions had angered the Empress Dowager Liu, but the news she had just received had to be reported to the Empress Dowager Liu.

Otherwise, when Empress Dowager Liu took the initiative to ask, that is, when she died.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, the slave and maid have something to report, and after the slave and maid return, let the mother be treated, and the slave and maid dare not have the slightest complaint. Under great pressure from Empress Dowager Liu, Mama Zhu gritted her teeth and had to say.

The sharp eyes fell on Mama Zhu's body, and the Empress Dowager Liu temporarily put away her anger, and said coldly: "You say, the mourning family will listen to what you have to say?"

"Niangniang, the slave maid just received the news that the emperor entered Kunning Palace at the end of the day, but he has not come out of Kunning Palace until this time. ”

If you ask who is the most disgusted person in this huge harem, that person is none other than Queen Pang.

Yes, don't say that Empress Dowager Liu doesn't believe that Emperor Xuan can go to Kunning Palace to favor Empress Pang and stay overnight, even Mama Zhu doesn't believe it, just pull a palace maid out and ask, the answer must be no.

"What time is it?"

"Back to Niangniang's words, it's the beginning of the year. ”

"The news is coming from Kunning Palace?"

"Back to Niangniang's words, it is the news that our dark pile came from Kunning Palace, and the slave maid is afraid that the emperor is having an accident in Kunning Palace. ”

"What did you say?"

"Slave..."

"Well, the mourners know what you mean, and your worries are not unreasonable. "Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, what Queen Pang, who has been driven to a dead end, will do, and Empress Dowager Liu does not dare to guarantee.

Could it be that at this time, she wants her to say that Empress Pang loves her son so much, so no matter how ambitious Empress Pang is, she will not do anything to Emperor Xuan?

Empress Dowager Liu is not a simple little girl, as far as Empress Pang has thoughts at this time, she has never had it, even so, Empress Dowager Liu can't help but start worrying about the safety of Emperor Xuan.

The emperor chose to go to Kunning Palace at this time, his own purpose made Empress Dowager Liu suspicious, but it also deepened Empress Dowager Liu's jealousy that Empress Dowager Pang would attack Emperor Xuan.

"Damn. ”

With the dark and gloomy face of the Empress Dowager Liu, Mama Zhu trembled and knelt on the ground, becoming more and more atmospheric and did not dare to take a breath, she couldn't help but think about the news from Kunning Palace, how good it would be if she hadn't received it, and she wouldn't have to bear the anger of the Empress Dowager Liu head-on now!

It's just that Kunning Palace has always been controlled by Queen Pang, and if anyone who waits inside and outside is the slightest suspicious, without exception, Queen Pang will find an excuse to change or kill, and even she doesn't know who is the hidden stake buried by Empress Dowager Liu in Kunning Palace.

Although that person would pass the news from Kunning Palace, Mama Zhu and the others had never had direct or indirect contact with her, so they had no way of judging who that person was.

And that person was directly ordered by the Empress Dowager Liu, and only the Empress Dowager Liu had seen her appearance, even if she really wanted to deliver important news to Kunning Palace, it was through the hands of the Empress Dowager Liu herself, she never liked other people to interfere sideways.

Cining Palace was closed after the emperor came up that day, and Empress Dowager Liu also cut off all news connections inside and outside the palace with a ruthless heart, however, even Mama Zhu did not expect that under such circumstances, there would be news from Kunning Palace, and it did not arouse any suspicion at all.

I have to admit that the Queen Mother's mind is not something she and other slaves can figure out, and if she doesn't do it well, she will put her own life into it.

"Please calm your anger. ”

"Rest the anger, how do you tell the mourning family to calm the anger, Pang Xinyao She is simply presumptuous, she didn't take the mourning family in her eyes at all, she is looking for death. ”

In just a few moments, Empress Dowager Liu was already frightened by the imminent and possible things she imagined in her mind, and she scolded Queen Pang out of shape, and even called Queen Pang by name and surname.

"Niangniang, that's Queen Pang looking for death by herself, Niangniang, don't be angry with her because of her. ”

Suddenly, the anger on Empress Dowager Liu's face disappeared, she pursed her lips and was silent for a long time, that look made Mama Zhu, who was kneeling on the ground and only hoping that her sense of existence would be less, that she could disappear immediately.

What the hell did she say, how did she make Niangniang's mood change so quickly?

"Hehehe... You're right, the mourning family can't be angry with Pang Xinyao, and it's not cost-effective to be angry with yourself. ”

"Ugh. Yes, it's right for Niangniang to think so, Queen Pang and she are not worthy of Niangniang's anger. ”

"Mama Zhu, you're right, Pang Xinyao is looking for death by herself, and the mourning family just needs to wait quietly for her miserable end. ”

"This..."

Hearing this, Mama Zhu's eyes widened suddenly, did she know something terrible.

"You're a smart one, did you receive anything just now, did you report anything to the mourning family?"

Mama Zhu was slightly stunned, and quickly reacted, she lowered her head and said respectfully: "Back to Niangniang, the slave maid just came in to massage Niangniang's shoulder, and she didn't know anything else." ”

"The mourning family doesn't need you to serve here, step down!"

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone. ”

When Empress Dowager Liu was the only one left in the huge dormitory, she raised her right hand and made a few quick gestures in the air, and then a black shadow fell in front of her.

"Give her an order, don't care about anything, just do your duty in Kunning Palace, and let her solve it by herself if it is exposed. ”

"Yes, master. ”

The cold and piercing three words spat out from his throat like a machine, and the black figure immediately turned into a black smoke and disappeared into the hall.

Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, since the last time Emperor Xuan came to see her, Empress Dowager Liu knew that Emperor Xuan was determined to depose Empress Pang, and if it wasn't for the forces of all parties forcing him too tightly, Pang Xinyao would not be able to sit on the throne of the queen.

According to Emperor Xuan's temperament, he can casually appoint a harem woman as the queen, but that person will never be Pang Xinyao, in Emperor Xuan's heart, he hates Pang Xinyao very much.

It's a pity that Empress Dowager Liu, who was in the bureau at the time, couldn't see this clearly, otherwise she wouldn't support Empress Pang, but supported another concubine, and she wouldn't have come to such a point with Emperor Xuan's mother and son.

The poison in the body of the Han King, the poison in the body for a day, he will die sooner or later, Queen Pang's mistake is that she is too anxious, so that she completely angered Emperor Xuan, and let Emperor Xuan even endure the pain to make things as big as possible through the death of King Han, so that he can do more things.

If it weren't for the death of King Han, the emperor would have eradicated the power of the Pang clan in the former harem, which would inevitably cause turmoil in the government and the opposition, and all the civil and military officials would put pressure on the emperor, making him unable to do many things.

However, with the death of King Han as an opportunity, all the ministers in the court knew that the emperor was already angry, and the emperor was holding back the fire in his heart, and no one could afford the consequences of not letting the emperor vent.

Yes, they can't even protect their lives, where can they get together to put pressure on the emperor?

Rao is Pang Taishi has to avoid his edge and take a step back in front of the emperor who seems to be unusually persistent, who dares to stop him without fear of death at this time?

When I first heard that Emperor Xuan went to Kunning Palace, she didn't leave for several hours, and Empress Dowager Liu was indeed taken aback, but Mama Zhu's words that were supposed to comfort her made Empress Dowager Liu seem to stretch out her hand to remove the clouds and fog in front of her.

At that moment, she swept away the dust on the surface and saw the essence through nothingness.

"Hehe..."After a low sneer, Empress Dowager Liu rubbed her eyebrows and muttered tiredly: "The mourning family is really old, and there are many things that dare not gamble." ”

In this sensitive and abnormal period, Emperor Xuan knew that one of his actions might trigger Empress Pang to go crazy, but he still went to Kunning Palace, which was not his gamble?

Perhaps, as early as the moment Emperor Xuan stepped into Kunning Palace, he thought in his heart that Empress Pang would attack him.

That being the case, Empress Dowager Liu has reason to believe that Emperor Xuan will not be defenseless, Empress Pang will attack him, and who will have the last laugh in the end.

"Pang Xinyao, no matter what, the mourning family will not let you get your wish. After closing her eyes, Mrs. Liu's complexion sank, and she made some kind of decision very quickly.

Pinching her palms, a ray of light flashed in her dark eyes, Empress Dowager Liu got up and moved to a painting on the wall, and then dropped a few small stones in the dormitory at random, and then disappeared into the hall.

"Mama, this snow has been falling for two whole days in a row, and it is still getting worse and worse, and if it continues like this, even if the snow in the palace is cleared every day, it will be difficult to find a place to put your feet. ”

"It's not like you can just say that it won't snow, it's windy and snowy outside, you just stay in your own house, and don't come out to make trouble. Mama Zhu was frightened by Empress Dowager Liu's words, but she could only wait outside the palace and did not dare to leave, for fear that Empress Dowager Liu would call her again.

As the confidant of the Empress Dowager Liu, Mama Zhu knows many secrets of the Empress Dowager Liu, and there is such a secret, Rao is Mama Zhu must also avoid it.

"How can a slave leave Mama to keep a vigil here alone, even if it ......"

"Okay, don't say much, just retreat quietly, Niangniang has her own grandmother here to serve. Mama Zhu's eyes swept coldly at the familiar little palace maids in front of her, and the expression on her face was also cold, which brought great coercion.

As if she couldn't bear this kind of oppression, the palace maid who spoke in front of her was pulled by the corners of her clothes by a few palace maids behind her, and she also knew that she had said something that she shouldn't say, so she had to whisper in shock and fear: "If Mama has other orders, just call the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids will retire first." ”

"Hmm. ”

Cautiously looked at Mama Zhu, who had her back to them, and didn't even give them a corner of her eye, and several palace maids who were more faceless in front of Empress Dowager Liu on weekdays changed their faces, and their hearts became more and more uneasy.

The palace maids who are qualified to get face in front of Empress Dowager Liu can't find a simple one, not only do they have beautiful appearances, but their minds are much more exquisite than ordinary people, and they think about things more deeply.

It's really that there have been too many things that have happened in the past two days, even when they don't know anything, they are keenly aware of the seriousness of this matter, even if their status is as humble as they are, they also have a tentative mind.

Obviously, their careful thinking did not hide from Mama Zhu's eyes, and Mama Zhu had her own scruples, so she didn't let them get off the stage too much, so she gave up with a quiet warning.

"Hey, it's going to change. The murmuring voice overflowed from Mama Zhu's mouth and dissipated with the cold wind, and she waited as firmly as a stake outside the heavy temple door, and her deep eyes could not see what she was thinking.

Facing the wind and snow flying wantonly, Mama Zhu looked up at the gloomy sky, perhaps the answer she longed for in her heart would not make her wait too long.

After dawn, everything will be a foregone conclusion.

Niangniang listened to the news of her report but did nothing, Mama Zhu did not believe that Empress Dowager Liu would let the emperor be in danger, and the emperor before the revenge, even if he put himself in a fatal danger, he would definitely not lack a magic weapon to save his life.

……

Hanwang's Mansion

"Lord Wang. ”

"Come in and talk back. ”

"Yes. "The dark night is still dressed like that, and the black clothes and black hair are like dark elves walking out of the dark night," just in response to the prince's calculation, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to bother the county lord's people to run back and forth to Pear Blossom Xiaozhu." ”

"She entered the palace early. This is not a question, but an affirmation.

At this time, the Han King's Mansion was still plain white inside and out, and even the picturesque scenery in the palace couldn't help but seem to be eclipsed with the 'death' of the Han King, and became lifeless.

King Ming and King Wu reached an agreement, and the two mansions closed the door and didn't ask about the outside affairs at all, and there was a kind of Emperor Xuan who didn't summon them, so they said that they were sick and didn't take half a step out of the palace.

Although King Chen was exposed because of the death of King Han, in addition to being trained by the Empress Dowager Liu, his own ability should not be underestimated, and he knew that he was in trouble, how could he not take care of the aftermath, not to mention that it was one thing for the Empress Dowager Liu to support him, and it was another thing to help him clean up the trouble.

As long as King Chen doesn't want to be given up by Empress Dowager Liu for a day, then he vows to let Empress Dowager Liu see his value, otherwise without the help of Empress Dowager Liu, it will be more difficult for him to stand out under the oppression of the prince, King Ming and King Wu.

Putting aside these three guys who have nothing to do with themselves, Queen Pang is his queen mother no matter what, and the queen mother who is dedicated to paving the road to the emperor for him, even if the prince is pressed by Taishi Pang, he can't completely abandon Queen Pang.

The prince is very dependent on the foreign family of the Taishi Mansion, that is because Pang Taishi not only has military power in his hands, but also has great power and prestige in the court, with the support of Pang Taishi, the prince can take a lot of detours, and at the same time, those imperial brothers who are willing to compete with him for the throne are deeply afraid of him.

It's just that Emperor Xuan also took the prince with him very carefully to teach him the way of the emperor in person, and since he was a child, he was used to seeing his father and emperor struggling under the powerful relatives, how could the prince not realize the threat of too strong foreign power to the imperial power.

However, even though he knew that his relatives were too strong and it was not good for the king, the prince wanted to clear all obstacles to the throne but had to rely on the Pang family, which made the prince unwilling to be reconciled and a little lucky.

In the prince's view, he relies on the Pang clan, and he has a bottom line in his own heart, so he has a heart for the Pang clan, and the first threat to be eliminated after he ascends the throne is the Pang clan.

If such a fluke psychology was known to Emperor Xuan, he would only scoff at it, and feel more and more that it was difficult for the prince to be a big responsibility.

Relying on the Pang clan to win the throne is not helpful to seek skin with the tiger, not that Emperor Xuan wants to belittle his son, but with the mind of the prince, where can he calculate the old puppet of Taishi Pang.

The largest forces in the Star Death City did not make any moves, and the vassal families below could only follow the same example, so the coldest Han King's Mansion during this period was the safest place for the Cold King to hide in the Star Death City.

After leaving the pear blossom small building, the Han King sneaked back to the Han King's Mansion as soon as possible, and there was an old man from the Tianshan Mountains leading the eldest apprentice to cover with the second apprentice, and no one could have imagined that the 'dead' Han King could still participate in this operation.

"The subordinates heard that it seemed that there was a signal suddenly sent from the palace, and the county lord immediately entered the palace after receiving it. ”

"If she can rush towards the palace with only a few words, it is not difficult to guess what happened. As Concubine Mi said, Emperor Xuan is his father after all, and he has done a lot of things for him silently over the years, and it is time to untie some of his knots.

"Lord Wang, then we need to send someone into the palace......"

"It's not yet time for this king to appear, there will be nothing to do with her in the emperor, we have more important things to do. ”

The night was silent, and he didn't dare to disobey the will of the Han King.

"All the mobilized forces inside and outside the Star Death City have been mastered by her, and you and the people of the Dragon Phoenix Banner have taken over?"

"His subordinates saw the owner of the Dragon Phoenix Banner, and he asked his subordinates to tell the prince that the forces inside and outside the Star Death City were under his control, and he didn't need the help of the prince for the time being. ”

"His ability is very reassuring to the king. As soon as the words changed, King Han's voice was as cold and piercing as ever, "Let the fire phoenix act, take charge of the Praetorian Guard, and be sure to guard the palace for this king like an iron bucket." ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

"The county lord doesn't need the help of this king, and the king will also go to the Honghuang Mountain Villa for a while, hoping to help Ah Yan. ”

Silent Night, "......"

Lord, is it really good for you to make this decision?

It seems that the prince of the world will not like you too much!

Without waiting for the dark night to dispel the thoughts in his mind, Cang Mang came back with a new message, and after the Han King saw it, a trace of evil smile slowly appeared on Jun Yi's dusty face, and the dark magnetic voice was as cold as ever, "That Fang Batian is indeed a character, this king will go to meet him for a while." ”

The dark night looked at each other silently, and the corners of their mouths twitched, as if they had not seen such an eager look on the prince's face for a long time.

couldn't help but feel that the prey that aroused the interest of their prince was gloated and charefret in their hearts, and they should have mourned for each other for three minutes in advance.

In the underground secret passage of the Honghuang Mountain Villa, Mo Yan originally thought that he would face the Sect Master of the Hidden Lotus Sect, but he never thought that the other party would actually retreat after dropping so many traps into the formation.

This move was clearly to tell Mo Yan that in addition to the place in Kunning Palace, the other party had prepared a way out for himself.

In order to depose Queen Pang, Mo Yan spent a lot of energy, where could he tolerate the other party to escape, so as he led people deeper into the secret passage, he couldn't see that King Han was too idle.

As a result, the King of Han received a message from Mo Yan, and there were only a few words about the Youlian Sect in the letter, which shows that a certain son of the world has the intention of embarrassing the King of Han, who made a certain son of the world unhappy.

"Night, in a quarter of an hour, this king wants to see all the details about the Lotus Sect and the Flood Barren Mountain Villa. ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

"Shuohai, Zhenmeng. ”

"Lord Wang, your subordinates are here. ”

"Take this king's token to mobilize the green dragon, Xuanwu Pavilion, and immediately block the radius of a hundred miles outside the Star Death City. ”

The two black-clothed young men who were called by name stepped forward and responded respectfully, "Subordinates take orders." ”

As long as the people of the Youlian Sect do not stay underground, then the Han King is really not afraid that he will not be able to catch them.

No matter where the hidden path in the secret passage leads, no matter how far the distance is, at most it will lead beyond the four gates of Star Death City, and it is impossible to cross the range of a hundred miles.

"There are checkpoints along the way, and the king doesn't want any fish to slip through the net. ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

Shuohai followed Zhenmeng to lead the order, and Yu Ye also returned to the room with a bunch of things very quickly, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, all the things you need are here." ”

King Han just made the prince, King Ming and others very jealous, if King Han's private power is exposed again, I don't know if the prince can still have the heart to fight with King Han?

After reading the information piled up on the entire table at a glance and ten lines, King Han stretched out his slender fingers like jade and pinched his eyebrows, and said coldly: "The others stay in the palace and stand by, ready to be dispatched at any time, and go to a place with this king in the dark night." ”

"Yes. ”

As soon as the front foot stepped out of the door, I saw the three old men and apprentices of Tianshan Standing in the courtyard where snowflakes were flying, "Master, senior brother and second senior brother." ”

"Han Yu is going out?"

"Yes, master. ”

"The Han Wangfu will be handed over to the master to sit in the formation for you, the Youlian Sect is not so easy to deal with, let your senior brother and second senior brother go with you. ”

"This..."King Han knew the personalities of his two senior brothers, and to be honest, he didn't want to involve them in these disputes.

Yan Rufeng and Pu Yan knew what King Han was thinking at a glance, but Yan Rufeng didn't speak, and Pu Yan said angrily: "Little junior brother, don't worry about affecting us, our ability to protect ourselves is very good." ”

Now that the words have been said for this part, what else can the Han King say, he can only nod obediently and let them go with him.
