Chapter 271: Breaking into the Palace
But who is it?
However, no matter who it was, he didn't seem to have the strength to investigate. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, he now has an official position, and tomorrow morning he will leave for Tongzhou no matter what.
When the emperor sent him to Tongzhou, he didn't want him to interfere in the people and affairs of Beijing.
But now that the safety of himself and Wu'er is at stake, he is not willing to return to Tongzhou now.
Yan Yuan hesitated for a while, and then explained to Su Bing before leaving Qingxuan Garden.
It's just that he left Qingxuanyuan and didn't go back to the house, but went directly to the palace to ask to see the emperor.
Naturally, there is a family banquet in the palace of the Shangyuan Festival, and the family banquet has just ended at this time, and the emperor is planning to go to Fengyi Palace to rest with Queen Qin.
Yan Yuan broke into the palace all the way with the token of the old princess Shen, and the palace guards and servants blocked one after another, seeing that they couldn't stop it, they hurriedly went in to report to the emperor.
The emperor was annoyed, but he was also inexplicably relieved, since the queen's plan made him fortunate to the palace maid named Ruo'er, he didn't like the queen, but because of the rules of the ancestors, he had to rest in her palace on the fifteenth day of the new year.
Right now, Yan Yuan broke into the palace and hit him crookedly, which was exactly what he wanted. Therefore, the emperor frowned slightly, pretending to be angry and said to the queen: "That kid is not afraid of death, he actually dares to return to Beijing without permission, and he dares to break into the palace to drive shocked, I will go and see, if there is nothing important, I will never spare him!"
At this time, Empress Qin was helpless, so she had to smile and say softly: "Then the emperor should go, go early and return early...... The concubine is waiting for you!"
"Okay!" the emperor then ordered the attendants to get up.
At this time, Yan Yuan was having a good time fighting with several guards.
The guards knew his identity, so they naturally did not treat him as an assassin, and only kept him out of the temple. From afar, I heard the chamberlain singing a promise: "The emperor has arrived-"
The guards all withdrew their hands and bowed their heads.
Yan Yuan also bowed his head.
The emperor glared at him unhappily, waved his hand to let the guards retreat, and shouted coldly when he entered the palace: "Since you don't hesitate to break into the palace to see me, why don't you let me come in quickly!"
Yan Yuan answered "yes", walked a few steps into the emperor's study, and closed the door with his hand.
"The emperor shouldn't know yet, something happened at the Lantern Festival, right?" Yan Yuan opened his mouth and directly threw out the astonishing words.
Although the death of the person at the lantern festival is a big deal, the officials below will not be so blind, and they will enter the palace at night to report the matter, in case they disturb the emperor's tranquility, then they will not be able to eat and walk around.
The emperor was taken aback, "What's the matter?"
Yan Yuan smiled bitterly, "The assassins are targeting me and Wu'er. If we hadn't responded in time, we would have gotten into trouble even if we hadn't been killed on the spot. ”
Yes, if he and Wu'er hadn't run fast at that time, even if they hadn't been killed by those assassins, they would have been surrounded by the people watching the Lantern Festival, so that the reputation of his and Wu'er's private meeting with men and women would have spread.
Even if they don't care about their reputation, their relatives, those idle people will care, and maybe they will be drowned by those people's spittle stars on the spot.
"You say, you and Wu'er went to the Lantern Festival together?"
The emperor stared at Yan Yuan deadly, his tone was not very calm, he automatically ignored the big matter of the dead man at the Lantern Festival, and instead pestered Yan Yuan to ask such a trivial matter.
Yan Yuan nodded, and said with a straight face: "That's true, don't hide it from the emperor, the minister returned to Beijing Chinese New Year's Eve evening, and he has been with Wu'er these days...... The minister also plans to ask the emperor to marry the minister after the New Year. ”
"You, why are you?" the emperor sneered angrily, "Yue'er is the county lord of Chun who I personally sealed, and it was entered into the royal jade plate, you are just a general Yunlu, and I still reward you in front of the old princess." Just because you are not recalled to Beijing this time, I can completely dismiss you and investigate you...... Why did you marry her?"
"Ahem...... the emperor was shocked and angry, and couldn't stop holding his chest and gasping.
Yan Yuan also sneered, "Then ask the emperor and generals to investigate." Anyway, you are the emperor, you hold the power of life and death of the subjects of the world, and you can kill whoever you want...... It's just that... Kill me, you will never know the secret of the treasure of the Yan Kingdom!"
"Hmph! It's nonsense! Do you think I'm rare with those treasures? Not to mention that it's all legends, even if there really are such treasures, I won't be rare!"
"Since it's not rare, why bother sending Xiao Qian to investigate? Now that he has quietly gone to Nanyu Kingdom, I don't believe you can still be calm!"
"Ho, you're so well informed!"
The emperor had calmed down at this time, turned around and sat down on the back of the chair behind the bookcase to gasp, the violent cough just now made his blood roll, it was really uncomfortable.
Yan Yuan was still standing, but his posture was not respectful.
Those who have already died once are no longer afraid of death. If this life is also so muddy, it is better to die early.
Hostile to a fearless person, even an emperor with the power of life and death in his hands, is really a headache. After all, you can't really kill him now.
So the emperor was silent for a while and then changed the subject, slowing down his tone and asking him what happened at the Lantern Festival.
Yan Yuan briefly explained what had happened, but only said that the murderer killed by Wu'er was killed by himself. In this way, even if it is found out in the future, it will not fall on Wu'er's head.
"Actually, it wasn't me and Wu'er who went to see the Lantern Festival, but I also made an appointment with Xiaojun Wang at that time. It's just that as soon as she left the eldest princess's mansion, she met the aunt in the queen mother's palace to pass the decree, asking the little county king to follow her into the palace immediately, saying that the queen mother had something to do with him. ”
"So the minister had to suspect that the Queen Mother deliberately asked people to branch the little county king. ”
"What do you mean that the Queen Mother has something to do with this?"
"Maybe...... Afterwards, your cousin Yuyu also coincidentally appeared in Dangui Fong. Isn't she already in the palace? How can she be in Dangui Fong?"
"It's not to enter the palace, it's to temporarily live in the queen mother's bedroom, and when things are settled, she will also go back to the Qing'an Hou Mansion. The emperor corrected.
Yan Yuan smiled: "Okay, even if she temporarily lives in the palace of the Queen Mother, then how can she get out of the palace?"
"That's with my permission. She said that she wanted to go back to the Yu family to worship the dead, this is human nature, how can I not allow it?"
So she went to Tan Kwai Fong for this worship, and maybe even went to the Lantern Festival. ”
"Do you suspect they did it?"
"Don't dare. The minister didn't say that, just told the truth. ”
Although Yan Yuan said "don't dare" in his mouth, he actually had a conclusion in his heart. The reason why he broke into the palace was also because he had suspicions, and now all the circumstances are consistent one by one, and their aunt and nephew are the most suspicious.
I just don't understand, why did the old lady do this?
And that jade girl, isn't she crazy? A woman who was originally crazy suddenly sobered up when her house was destroyed, how is it an unbelievable thing.
However, these have already been checked by Su Bing, and there should be definite news tomorrow morning.
