Chapter 291: Returning to the palace late at night to visit the concubine

Now that the Ministry of Works' Shangshu Muha is in the camp to see His Majesty, Li Dequan and the eunuchs of the internal performance office put today's recital folds in place, and then retreated to the side to serve. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the emperor had to play back, he knew that the people did not approve of the dredging of the sea, and insisted on the same with the hundred officials, although he had doubts, he still temporarily stopped the dredging of the river and acted according to Jin Fu's arrangement.

After being busy with this pass, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu retired, and the emperor stood up and moved his arms, picked up two or three newly sent memoranda and looked at them, all of which were about reporting the river work, which was complicated, and the emperor couldn't help frowning and thinking.

In the middle of the day, the emperor picked out the performance of Tang Bin, the governor of Jiangning, and read it carefully, and if it was really well-structured and brilliant, the emperor had already intended to elect him as the prince and concubine, so he made a reply to promote him to the Beijing face saint, and then discuss any promotion.

Putting this one down, he picked up a note casually, opened it and saw that it was the new promotion to the prince of the country's Alinga's recital, the emperor was quite curious, only to see that the book said, "The wife of the sinner Faka Jue Luo died the day before yesterday, and the minister did not dare to abolish the public for private reasons, covering up such disregard for the king's behavior, although the concubine is the minister's sister, but regardless of the rules Fengyi, out of the palace to the house, coerced the minister, and buried the sinner's family Jue Luo ......with a product of the order specifications'

The emperor's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, holding the letter in his hand, and roaring outward: "Li Dequan! ”

Li Dequan was so panicked that he trotted into the tent, but when he saw that the emperor's face was extremely gloomy, he only knelt on the ground in a panic and said, "The slave is here!" ”

The emperor's tone was a little anxious, and he said angrily: "When will the concubine leave the palace?" The people from the Internal Affairs Office didn't come to report it, were they all a bunch of dead people? ”

The emperor cares a lot about the concubine, although the concubine angers Long Yan, who knows if there will be a comeback? Li Dequan couldn't think of this much in a panic, so he only said: "I don't know about this matter." ”

"Who gave her the guts? Who told her to run out? "The emperor was anxious and angry in his heart, and there was a trace of indistinguishable emotion, this twist and turn was not an urgent recital, there were two days on the road, calculated that Yue'er left the palace the day before, did she return to the palace safely? What the hell is going on? Is there anything going on the road? Who told her to go? Who followed along the way? Have you ever been bullied?

Li Dequan hurriedly said: "The slave is going to ask?" ”

The emperor was so anxious that he only hated that he was away from the palace, and when he saw Li Dequan waiting for an order, he only frowned and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Li Dequan retreated with a roll, hurriedly went to find Eunuch Gu, and told him to hurry back to the palace and find out about the concubine's departure from the palace.

Eunuch Gu also knew that the concubine had already fallen out of favor, because the concubine had always been kind and angry, and she was quite considerate of these people who served under her head, Eunuch Gu thought that the emperor was going to punish the concubine, so he probed him and said: "The master of the concubine is very good, maybe there is any reason for this?" ”

Li Dequan was taken aback, and he didn't vent, but he was annoyed: "Little rabbit cub, when did you learn to pretend to be a ghost with our family, why don't you go back and find out carefully, it's a moment late, long live the lord to punish it, but it's not something you can bear." ”

Eunuch Gu rarely saw Li Dequan in such a hurry, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly packed up and prepared, Li Dequan returned to the imperial tent and was about to play back, but saw that the emperor had changed into an indigo flower robe, and Rong Jin served him with a Hangzhou silk cloak.

But when he saw that the emperor took the horsewhip and was about to leave the account, he hurriedly followed and asked, "The emperor is going out to run a horse?" ”

The emperor thought that it was still appropriate for Li Dequan to arrange avoidance in the palace, so he only ordered: "You go and change your clothes quickly and return to the palace with you." ”

Li Dequan was taken aback, and when he saw that the emperor wanted to return to the palace, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged: "Your Majesty, this move must not be, this is ......"

The emperor's face was already cold, and he only said, "This is a holy decree." ”

Li Dequan had no choice but to answer the order and say: "The slave obeys the order." When he hurriedly changed his clothes, the emperor and Wu Ge and twenty guards were already waiting outside the imperial camp, and the group hurried to the Forbidden City, and it was already nightfall when they arrived at the Forbidden City, and the palace gate had already been keyed.

Li Dequan arranged to open the city gate all the way, but the emperor was in a hurry, but fortunately, the palace gates were also locked, only a palace lamp in Li Dequan's hand was black, as if walking in a black sea.

Li Dequan raised the lantern in his hand slightly, and the plaque engraved with the Manchu and Han scriptures of Yongshou Palace was faint and cold.

The emperor stepped forward, but hesitated to freeze his figure.

Li Dequan stepped forward and said respectfully: "Master, it's better for the slave to knock on the door." ”

The emperor nodded almost invisibly, Li Dequan stepped forward and grabbed the head of the brass shop a few times, and the heavy red door made two soft sounds, and the people in the palace of the concubine were also quite literate, so they only asked from afar: "Who?" ”

With a squeak, someone inside had already opened the door, and the emperor felt a tug in his heart, and took a step forward, but he retreated back and hid in the shadows.

It was a little eunuch who opened the door, and he couldn't help rubbing his sleepy eyes with his hands, and when he saw clearly that the man in front of him was Gonggong Li in front of him, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Why is Gonggong Li here?" After saying that, a hint of joy rose on his face: "But Long live the Lord sent you to send something to the master?" ”

Li Dequan didn't bother to listen to his nonsense, so he only said: "Go and call Zhou Ji or Su Yun, don't alarm people." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the little one will go and invite Gonggong Zhou to come." Then he turned and went back.

Li Dequan saw the emperor looking in through the crack in the half-open door, looking at everything inside, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he knew that it was not appropriate to ask more questions at this time, so he couldn't help but say nothing.

The lights are turned off in the warm pavilion, is his Yue'er sleeping? The Emperor thought about it foolishly, but he was too timid to enter the door, and only looked intently at the quiet pavilion with two eyes.

The emperor's heart is tormented, unspeakably sad, maybe not sad, worried? It's not just worrying, but it's also that you can't do anything, you can't do anything.

"Father-in-law Li." Zhou Ji saw Li Dequan hurriedly catching up, followed his line of sight and saw the figure in the shadows, bluffed again, and hurriedly kowtowed his head and shouted: "Wan ......" Because of Li Dequan's signal, he suppressed the words behind him and kowtowed silently.

The emperor spoke, and his voice was still steady: "The concubine is asleep?" ”

Zhou Ji hurriedly said: "Back to Long Live Lord, the lights are out in the warm pavilion, presumably so." ”

The emperor knew that people were in the palace well, so he was a little relieved, nodded and asked, "She...... Did she go out of the palace with you? ”

Zhou Jidao: "Back to Long Live Lord, the slave has been following the concubine Niangniang, the mother did not leave the palace from time to time, and returned at the beginning of the time, it was at the order of the Queen Mother, and the people who opened the Niu Colu family did not see others along the way. He said and said tentatively: "Niangniang and Niu Co Lu eldest lady and sister-in-law have always been friendly, although there are inappropriate etiquette and rank, but it is nothing more than human affection, if the concubine goes late, I am afraid that Niu Co Lu and the eldest lady's family property will not be able to be saved," said and told the emperor all the things he saw and heard along the way.
