Chapter Ninety-Seven: Counterattacking the Queen
The queen's conspiracy seems to be seamless, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, there are still flaws.
Gu Shuiyue felt a little weird when she got the secret passage diagram.
The queen was so shocked that she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Gu Shuiyue walked up to the shocked queen and felt that she had something to remind her: "Niangniang, has you ever thought about a question, the loyal servant who presented the secret path map is very good, and with such a powerful loyal servant to protect him, why is the emperor's twelfth son still covered with scars? Those two subordinates still dare to be so arrogant?"
The queen didn't think it was a flaw: "Naturally, it's because he doesn't want people to know about his existence, so he's just hiding on the side." ”
Gu Shuiyue smiled and shook her head. In the queen's heart, perhaps she herself is the most important, so she never knew that when important people are in danger, all reason will be forgotten. If there really is such a loyal servant, quietly guarding Concubine He's mother and son for ten years, he will have thousands of ways to make those two wicked people disappear, and he will not let them bully the people he protects.
"Another thing, when I stepped into the secret passage, it smelled of earth. If it is a real secret passage, it has been dug at least ten years ago, and the secret passage seems to have just been dug. ”
It was just a temporary trap dug up, please take care of Shuiyue's temporary trap into the urn.
Some things, fake is fake, and no matter how realistic it is, there will be loopholes.
The queen's face was cloudy: "So you knew it was a trap early on, in that case, why did you go in?"
Gu Shuiyue showed a mysterious smile, which made the queen extremely uneasy: "Niangniang will know soon." ”
"The emperor has arrived!"
The eunuch's shrill voice rang out.
If it was before Gu Shuiyue appeared, the queen was very happy when she heard this.
Because that's part of her plan. She wants to present evidence in front of the emperor and expose the misdeeds of the Yun Wang couple.
Now, however, all plans have been disrupted.
A moment later, the emperor's tall and burly figure appeared in front of everyone.
"What happened in the early morning?" the Emperor asked.
The queen's mind turned a thousand times, and she immediately reacted and said: "Your Majesty, in the morning, Sister Gu's maid came to the palace to cry and complain that Sister Gu was missing, and the palace was worried and asked the guards to look around, only to see that Sister Gu was safe and sound, and the palace was relieved." It's just that the concubine has something unclear and wants to ask Sister Gu, Sister Gu is suspected of assisting the He family to hurt Concubine Pian, and she should have been grounded before the matter is clarified, why is Sister Gu here again?"
The queen looked at Gu Shuiyue, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
The queen's reaction was really fast, and after the conspiracy was revealed, she immediately thought about charging Gu Shuiyue with another crime.
Gu Shuiyue made a frightened look, stroked her forehead and said: "The queen is in charge of the harem, and her momentum is majestic, how dare the concubine not obey the words of the mother? Last night, the concubine had just fallen asleep, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and the concubine opened the door, only to see a black shadow flashing, and then fainted, unconscious. When the concubine woke up again, she lay in the rockery, and when she woke up just now, she saw a group of people standing here, including the queen's mother. ”
It's really nonsense!
It was obviously the secret passage that Gu Shuiyue had entered by herself, and her people had seen it with their own eyes.
However, her person is also not clean and cannot be a witness.
When the concubine woke up, she found that there was something else beside her. Gu Shuiyue was holding a bundle of scrolls in her hand and wanted to hand it to the emperor.
The eunuchs beside the emperor took it, spread it out, and displayed it in front of the emperor.
The queen naturally saw it, this was the secret path map she had prepared, why did Gu Shuiyue show it to the emperor, what was she doing?
"The concubine just took a look at it and felt that this matter was not trivial, so she wanted to present it to His Majesty immediately. Gu Shuiyue said.
The Emperor squinted at the map, and his gaze quickly fell on the rockery not far away, where the entrance had been completely opened to an unknown place.
The queen walked in front of the emperor and preemptively said: "Your Majesty, back then, the traitors used the convenience of the He family to dig a secret passage in the palace, endangering the safety of the palace and the saints, and now someone dares to follow the traitor's actions, it is really an unforgivable crime!"
Gu Shuiyue had already said that she had found that this secret passage was newly dug, and the queen could no longer say what the secret passage was doing, and she wanted to deduct it from Gu Shuiyue and Gongsun Yi in a different way.
Moreover, such a result, presumably the emperor is also happy to see it.
"Sister Gu was knocked unconscious, her whole body was intact, only this secret passage diagram was added, the concubine couldn't help but think about it a little more, could it be that the purpose of the man in black was to give this secret passage diagram to Sister Gu, and bring Sister Gu to the entrance of this secret passage......" The queen said worriedly.
Gu Shuiyue suddenly 'giggled' out laughing.
The queen's face suddenly darkened: "What are you laughing at?"
"The concubine is laughing at Niangniang's imagination is really rich, in fact, the matter is very simple, look at who dug this secret passage, don't you know who is plotting against it?"
The queen breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.
This secret passage has been dug up, she has already ordered people to remove all traces, and she has also added some things, Gu Shuiyue's calculation is empty.
The guards searched around and presented everything they found to the emperor: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have found a shoe in the secret passage!"
It was a pair of men's shoes, covered in sludge, presumably left over from digging a secret passage.
Removing the sludge from the shoes, the guard took a closer look, and then said: "Your Majesty, this shoe is not from the palace, the mark on this shoe is from the Yunwang Mansion!"
The Empress had this ring in her original plan.
Although some things started to go wrong, now things are back on track.
Although the design of these shoes is simple, it is enough for the emperor to believe it, and the emperor is happy to believe it.
After all, the emperor also wants to get rid of Gongsun Yi, a thorn in his side.
The emperor's face really changed: "Gongsun Yi dares to dig tunnels in my palace, what a boldness!"
"Your Majesty treats Gongsun Yi well, I didn't expect Gongsun Yi to do such a thing!"
The couple sang and harmonized, and they really played a good show.
Gu Shuiyue said: "If you conclude that it was the tunnel dug by King Yun based on just a pair of shoes, it would be a little ridiculous." ”
The queen looked at Gu Shuiyue, trying to see the desperate expression on her face, but she was disappointed.
"Gu Shi, are you exonerating Gongsun Yi?" the queen said coldly.
"The concubine is just telling the truth, if these shoes condemn King Yun, it will make the loyal ministers feel cold, please think twice!" Gu Shuiyue knelt down towards the emperor and said sincerely.
There was a hint of mockery in the emperor's eyes.
Gongsun Yi is really his good loyal minister!
"Gu Clan, do you have a way to prove that this secret passage was not dug by King Yun?" the emperor asked.
If it can't be proved that it was not dug by Gongsun Yi, then he will inevitably be detained on King Yun!
Gu Shuiyue pondered for a moment, and then said: "Shoes can be fake, but people can't be fake, as long as you find out the owner of these shoes, you will know whose person is digging the secret passage." ”
"Gu Shi, aren't you forcibly exonerating, how can you find the owner of the shoes with a pair of shoes?" the queen sneered.
"The concubine heard that one of King Chun's many pets was a dog, and he was able to find the owner by smell. Gu Shuiyue said, "The concubine body implores to invite King Chun's dog to find out!"
Although King Chun is ridiculous, many of his pets have some ability. The green snake is human, the white tiger can be used as a mount, and the dog named 'Wangcai' is also quite famous. Wangcai has an excellent sense of smell, once Wang Chengxiang's house entered the thief, lost an important treasure, the scene of the crime happened to leave a handkerchief of the thief, King Chun took Wangcai to pass by, and found the thief with a handkerchief.
"Nonsense!" said the Queen.
"The concubine asks the emperor to be the master, and the King of Yun is innocent!" Gu Shuiyue did not show weakness at all, but raised her voice and said word by word.
The queen made a big fuss about this matter, so in addition to the palace guards, there were also several important ministers who followed behind the emperor.
"Yes, the minister has also heard of the reputation of that wangcai, and he is indeed a strange dog. ”
"Your Majesty, it's better to grant Princess Yun's request, if you are wronged, it will not be good. ”
The emperor had no choice but to say, "Go and bring King Chun's dog here." ”
Soon, a guard came with a dog in tow. He first put the shoes on the dog's nose and sniffed them, and after smelling them, the dog suddenly ran towards a place. The guard who was originally leading the dog also hurriedly followed.
After a while, the guards led the dog back and returned to his life: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, Wangcai rushed into Fenglai Palace and bit the deputy commander of Fenglai Palace. ”
When the guard's words fell, the queen's face changed.
This deputy commander of the king guarding the safety of Fenglai Palace is none other than the cousin of the queen of the king!
The eyes of the crowd suddenly fell on the queen, with curiosity and hesitation in their eyes.
The queen's face turned pale: "How can this be? How can he do such a thing......
The emperor's deep eyes looked uncertain.
This was not a surprise to the Emperor.
He knew that this was the queen dealing with Gu Shuiyue and Gongsun Yi.
He didn't feel angry in his heart, but he felt that the queen was too stupid, and she was turned against by Gu Shuiyue.
The queen hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, Deputy Commander Wang has some hysteria, I'm afraid he did these things unconsciously!"
Gu Shuiyue felt that this excuse was very ridiculous.
But the emperor seemed to believe it.
"What kind of body will dig the hole in my back garden, since you are not feeling well, then don't stay in the palace. The Emperor said. He didn't want to fulfill Gu Shuiyue's wish, and he didn't want to punish the queen.
How cruel the queen's methods were, pointing directly at her and Gongsun Yi's lives! She fought back, such a big crime was easily resolved, how could Gu Shuiyue be willing?
She sneered in her heart, but there was a worried expression on her face: "Deputy Commander Wang committed hysteria and dug up this secret passage, but His Majesty is still unaware......
As soon as Gu Shuiyue's words came out, the queen couldn't help but look at her, and her heart 'chuckled', and her face suddenly turned extremely pale.
This sentence is simply a heart-wrenching statement.
The Emperor really didn't know about the existence of this secret passage.
Today, the empress can dig out this secret passage without the emperor noticing, and tomorrow, can the empress quietly dig out several secret passages leading to the outside of the palace. There is no obstacle in and out of the palace, just like the judgment of the year!
The emperor is suspicious and hates things more than he can control.
The murderous aura on the emperor's face flashed: "Such a bold and reckless thing as secretly digging a secret way, even if it is hysteria, it should not be forgiven! Wang Cen Shu, kill with a cane! The queen, the rule is not strict, the ban is three months, and the affairs of the harem are temporarily in charge of the concubine of mercy!"
When the emperor's words fell, the queen's body couldn't help but fall backwards, and if it weren't for the support of the grandmother beside her, the queen would have fallen to the ground.
