Chapter XXXVII. Palace changes

"Report-" Just as he was about to ascend Xingtai, a Yulin guard rode a horse and galloped into the execution ground, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has died!" ”

When it happened suddenly, everyone was shocked, looked at each other and forgot to react for a while. Jing Hong stood up with a long case, and his expression was also very shocked: "My father died?" Is this true? Thinking that his father had lost his breath several times since his illness, although Jing was surprised at the moment, he probably couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart.

"Back to the emperor, after being checked by the imperial doctor, it is true that the emperor died of the emperor!"

Jing Hong sat down on the dragon chair with a "tom-" sound, and muttered: "Father, the emperor's ......" showed a little stunned on his face. At this moment, another Yu Linwei galloped over and shouted from afar:

"Report - a letter from the Yan Kingdom, the queen of Yan and the righteous daughter of the regent Cholera Palace, the magic of witchcraft and the poisoning of the old Yan King! This trip aroused the anger of the Yan people, and said that if the Xiao family did not give Yan an explanation, I am afraid that there would be another war between the royal family and the feudal estate! ”

There was an uproar all around. And Xiao Chongyan, who was sitting on the side, calmly faced the gazes of everyone, and said to Jing Hong leisurely: "Your Majesty, noon has arrived, and it is time to execute." ”

I looked at Zhen Guogong, who was standing straight on the execution ground, and there was no fear under the white blade of the executioner. After a while, I saw that Jing Hong didn't know how to respond, so I slowly asked: "Father and Emperor have been summoning that witch a while ago, and the emperor has come with bad news one after another, don't you think there is anything strange?" ”

Jing Hong squinted his eyes at me, I nodded slightly at him, and before the two of them could speak, they heard Xiao Chongyan speak again, but they didn't have the calmness of Fang Cai: "What does the princess say about this?" If you suspect that my righteous daughter has played witchcraft on the Emperor, you should show evidence! Besides, now that the matter of Yan Kingdom has not yet been decided, how can the princess wronged the little girl with this? ”

I replied with a smile: "Lord Xiao really loves her daughter, Zhao Yuan just guessed a few words, why should you be angry?" ”

"It was better to do so." Xiao Chongyan glanced at me a few times meaninglessly, and his eyes revealed a terrifying golden light. "Your Majesty, noon has come to ......"

"My lord, something happened...... Xiao Chongyan's words were interrupted by a eunuch who stepped forward from behind, and the eunuch whispered a few words in his ear, Xiao Chongyan's face immediately turned angry, and he slammed the tea cup on the table to the ground.

"A bunch of stuff eating inside and out! Let's go, go back to the palace immediately! ”

Everyone didn't know what was going on, and the scene that was supposed to be a beheading show suddenly became a farce of palace contention. The eunuch had not gone far, and I motioned for the guards behind me to arrest him, and the eunuch was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

It was only at this time that I saw his appearance clearly, and vaguely remembered that this person was a close attendant of the Empress Dowager Xiao, who looked like a thief, and at a glance I knew that he was greedy for life and afraid of death.

"What a bold servant, when you see me kowtowing to the emperor, please say goodbye, as if you don't hear it! Has your master taught you the rules of etiquette? ”

I spoke with intimidation and scolded him sharply, so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, and his face instantly turned pale: "The emperor forgives his sins!" The eldest princess forgives her sins! Slaves deserve death! Sin deserves death! ”

"You deserve to die! But......" I said, "I have thought of a way to forgive your sins, but I don't know if you want to?" ”

When the eunuch heard this, he seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and nodded busily: "Wish...... Willing! Even if the eldest princess wants the slave to die, the slave has no complaints! ”

The corners of my mouth couldn't help but hook up a hint of ridicule: "It's no longer necessary to die, leaving you with a cheap life is considered to be a good deed and a virtuous deed." You just need to tell me, what news did you tell Lord Xiao just now, so that the adults left in a hurry? ”

"This ......" The eunuch hesitated, looked around at the crowd of onlookers on the execution ground, and showed embarrassment on his face.

Jing Hong said angrily: "Bold minion, do you say it or not!" ”

The eunuch hurriedly fell to the ground, panicking: "Say, say!" The slave was ordered by the Queen Mother to tell Lord Xiao...... The harem came out of witchcraft and killed the emperor, and after being identified, the queen mother was blamed for this matter...... Now the harem is in chaos...... Slaves, minions don't know anything...... The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life! ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd began to stir, and several people led by them took the lead in shouting: "Your Majesty, you are treacherous, and I hope that the emperor will be aware of everything!" Zhenguo Gong must have been plotted by traitors, and the emperor must not harm Zhongliang! ”

"The emperor is gracious, Rao Zhen Guogong will not die!"

The people around them fell to their knees on the ground, and their pleas continued for a long time. Zhenguo Gong was on the beheading platform, and when he saw this scene, he was moved, but he was still not happy.

"You are really clever in this play, I will see how you go next!" Jing Hong whispered to me, waved his hand, and said, "Swing and go back to the palace!" ”

The Taihe Palace has now been impenetrated by the periphery of Yulin Weili, and it is difficult for a mosquito to fly in, Yulin Jun said: "On the order of Lord Xiao, before finding out the culprit of the cholera palace with witchcraft, no one is allowed to disturb the Queen Mother's purity!" ”

"Bold! Now you don't even pay attention to me, you really deserve death! Jing Hong was furious and scolded sharply.

"Back to the emperor, Lord Xiao is also doing this to find out the real culprit as soon as possible, protect the safety of the queen mother, and ask the emperor to return to the palace!"

"Your Majesty, let's go back first, Lord Xiao and the Queen Mother will definitely give us an explanation for this matter." I comforted on the side, "I brought some fine wine from Liangzhou, do you want the emperor to taste it together?" ”

Jing Hong looked at me for a long time with an unpredictable expression, showing an expression that was a little angry but had nowhere to vent, and got up and was about to leave with me, but was stopped by two Yu Lin guards: "The emperor is slow." The lord explained that there is a witchcraft in the palace now, and everything should be done carefully. The queen mother has now been safely sent to Langhuan Pavilion to raise the baby, and the two of them will be escorted by the emperor and the eldest princess at any time from this moment on. Lingxi Palace is located in a remote area, and I hope that the emperor and the eldest princess will return to the Zichen Palace to stay, as for the side wine, it is not too late to drink it when the water comes out. ”

Escort? I laughed in my heart. Along the way, the palace was full of Xiao's eyes and ears and Yulin Junji, and the so-called escort was just surveillance.

"Wow-" Zichen Palace's cabinet, Jing Hong raised his sleeves and swept all the pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the table to the ground, but he did not calm the anger in his heart at all. I stood aside and watched the mess in the room, knowing that Jing Hong was in turmoil at the moment. Jin Wu was greatly injured by the conviction of the Yuwen clan, Yulin was manipulated by the Xiao clan, and the new emperor Jinghong succeeded to the throne and had not yet cultivated his own power.

"They put Bi Yu under house arrest to blackmail me, it's really bold!" Jing Hong said, "Now that you and I are being watched, this is what you call a means of bringing down?" I shouldn't have listened to your nonsense! ”

"Your Majesty, the show has just begun, do you have to admit defeat?" I paced slowly on the side and said, "If the emperor is worried about Biyu, I can quietly walk for you, and ask the emperor to be calm." ”

A trace of hesitation and hope flashed in Jing Hong's eyes, and he asked, "What are your chances of winning this battle?" ”

I looked out, and countless Feather Forest Forbidden Troops had already gathered outside the door, and the Zichen Hall had already been cast with iron walls, making it difficult for a fly to fly in.

"Someone will come in three days. What we have to do now is to protect the safety of Biyu's mother and son! ”

Jing Hong: "Who will come and I will be with you?" ”

I replied, "Yuwen Qiye." ”

Jing Hong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "After he was a traitor, he finally absconded now, how could he come back to find death again?" Even if I spare Zhenguogong, I won't let him go. ”

I asked Jing Hong: "Your Majesty, do you believe in your fate?" ”

Jing Hong felt strange about my sudden question, and replied after a moment's thought: "If the person whose fate is to join hands with me for the rest of my life is Bi Yan, then I will believe it." ”

I laughed, "Me too." I have already been living with him, and I believe in him as much as in myself. ”

Jing Hong was silent for a long time when he heard this, and sighed: "You two really can't be separated." I once hoped that you would find a good man, but now it seems that this wish has come true. ”

My heart moved, and I couldn't say what I felt. I know how helpless the reality is, all I can do now is to protect Jing Hong and Bi Yu, even if he is already the king of the world at the moment, he is still a fledgling eagle in my eyes.

The first take-off of the young eagle always has to fall and get up countless times before it can spread its wings and swim between heaven and earth.

"Forty-nine, what's the name of this bird?" After dinner, I saw Sijiu feeding the parrot in the backyard corridor, and I couldn't help but lean forward and ask.

After not seeing each other for many days, Sijiu has become much more mature and stable than in the Lingxi Palace in the past, it seems that it is me, although there is a joy on my face, but the etiquette is not lost: "See the eldest princess, this parrot is called 'Little Rouge'." It is a pet that the first emperor got from somewhere after you and your relatives left, and it is very pampered on weekdays. The first emperor died, and it didn't eat today, I'm afraid it's also because of the first emperor's sadness. ”

"Little pets also have such a grateful heart, but now they are indifferent. The world is impermanent, forty-nine, Changsheng asked me to tell you that everything is fine at the border, and teach you to be careful everywhere in the palace, and not to be reckless in the future. ”

Sijiu nodded: "The slave knows." The minion hadn't seen Changsheng for a long time, and the last time he saw him, he had trouble with him. Now that the Yuwen clan is on the cusp, it's okay if he doesn't come back. Wait for Biyu ...... No, when the queen gave birth to a dragon son, I resigned from my position in the palace and went to Liangzhou to find him. ”

Seeing Sijiu's pious face and his deep belief in my words, I suddenly felt a sin in my heart, and I could only turn my face away and dare not look at him. The palace wall is deep and deep, blocking the waning moon in the sky.

After a long time, I said to Sijiu: "Sijiu, I want to go to Hanyuan Hall now, do you have a way?" ”

Sijiu was stunned, recalled for a long time, and said cautiously: "The princess comes with me, I have a way." ”
