Cining Palace is located in the imperial palace of the inner court, is the residence of the empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty, although there is a distance from the Qianqing Palace, but not far.

With the rough steps of the eunuchs in the palace, Emperor Mingjing was carried to the gate of the palace steadily, and it was only a few sticks of incense.

Emperor Ming Jing leaned back on the back of the imperial chariot, closed his eyes tiredly, rubbed his eyebrows, and thought about what had happened these days.

Since the Hanmei Banquet, everything seems to be out of control, as if there is a pair of invisible hands behind it.

Why did the private affair between the palace maid and Li Zong happen to let him bump into him?

Even when the ministers are persecuted, he can not change his face, why can a small private affair in the palace make him angry and even in danger?

There is also his resignation, the ambition of the Wang family, the ambition of the Queen Mother, and the ambition of Li Zong......

The mastermind behind this scene has figured out everyone's temperament, and then set up a chain game!

Step by step, link by ring, depressed to the point of breathlessness.

Now it's out of Pei and Li Zong again!

Regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, if the purpose of the mastermind behind this scene is to calculate the Pei family and the virtuous king Li Zong, I have to say that she succeeded.

No emperor would pamper a discredited palace concubine regardless of his previous suspicions.

And Emperor Mingjing had long wanted to find an opportunity to kill Li Zong, and it happened that he had committed something himself, so Emperor Mingjing had a legitimate reason to kill him.

Moreover, since he knew that Pei was imprisoned in the small Buddha hall of Cining Palace by the Queen Mother, Emperor Ming Jing was not sure whether the rumors on the streets and alleys outside the palace were rumors.

If this was a means of the harem concubines, a series of conspiracies to pull the Pei family off the horse, Emperor Ming Jing did not have the slightest fear.

In his opinion, all the women in the harem, except for a few people, are all playthings, just playthings that they like or dislike.

What does he want as an emperor? It's just a plaything, and he doesn't feel sorry for it.

He likes beauties, but he doesn't like femme fatales.

However, he was afraid of it, and it was not just the actions of the harem concubines.

To be honest, the position of Emperor Ming Jing is not stable.

It has nothing to do with his ability to govern.

This is a problem that the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty have failed to solve - the redundancy of family officials.

If this is an ultimatum given to him by the Maison joining forces......

Emperor Ming Jing sighed and could only drag his ......

dragged these arrogant families to take the initiative to bow to him, the emperor, and take the initiative to beg him to open Enke!

Just when Emperor Mingjing was thinking nonsense, Cining Palace finally arrived.

"The emperor has arrived—"

Inside the Cining Palace.

When the Queen Mother heard the sound of the whip, she knew that it was Emperor Mingjing who had arrived, so she put down the teacup in her hand and let go of her hand, but the clear red marks in the palm of her hand showed that the Queen Mother's mood was not so beautiful.

summoned still water and whispered a few words, and the little palace maid on the side could vaguely hear the words "imperial doctor".

The little palace maid was not a curious person, and when she saw Aunt Jingshui glaring at her, she lowered her head suddenly, her face was pale, and she didn't dare to speak.

The Queen Mother didn't tell Jingshan any secrets, but just asked her to secretly hire a doctor.

She knew why Emperor Ming Jing came today.

Since she couldn't hide it, she had no choice but to retreat and let a imperial doctor wait in Cining Palace, so that she could treat it at any time.

It is not for nothing that the Queen Mother is so careful.

The imperial doctors selected by the thousands of doctors in the palace are not completely mediocre, but also have real skills.

A physician surnamed Zhang privately met with the Queen Mother, saying that the emperor might have been poisoned.

This is also one of the reasons why the Queen Mother had murderous intentions towards Huang Shun, a personal eunuch, actually made the emperor poisoned, and said, who will the Queen Mother kill if she doesn't kill him?

Maybe the Queen Mother will suspect that Imperial Doctor Zhang has deceived her, however, she has to believe Mama Wang's words.

Mama Wang's diagnosis is exactly the same as that of Imperial Physician Zhang, and even Mama Wang specially instructed the Queen Mother not to be irritable and irritable when she does not know what kind of poison it is in the emperor, otherwise it is not always blessed by the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty.

The Queen Mother never forgot her fear after listening to Mama Wang's words, maybe when she was young, she had several children, but now, she is only Emperor Mingjing.

The lives of the Wang family and all her net worth are tied to one child after another who is now sitting on the dragon chair.

As usual, after the Queen Mother welcomed Emperor Mingjing in, she was placed on a high seat, and when Emperor Mingjing was seated, still water also served tea.

It is a big red robe, Emperor Mingjing's favorite tea.

Gently plucking the rim of the cup, revealing a clear and gorgeous soup color, clear, thick and long, obvious rock rhyme, mellow, solid and sweet, and fragrant at the bottom of the cup.

Emperor Ming Jing didn't speak with the tea, and on the way to Cining Palace, he also thought clearly, and the anger that was deceived at the beginning dissipated a lot, and he understood that his mother was just worried about her child.

The Queen Mother took Emperor Mingjing's hand and exchanged a few words of greeting, and Emperor Mingjing was also very cooperative, however, she still had to come, so she only listened to Emperor Mingjing, "Mother, bring those two people up." ”

said it, naturally, Pei Yunruo and Li Zong.

In the court, Li Zong and Concubine Shun's henchmen were making waves, however, they didn't know that the virtuous king Li Zong had already been placed under house arrest by the Queen Mother, in the Fengxian Hall of Concubine Shun.

This is still Concubine Shun bowed her head and specially begged the Queen Mother.

It was rare for her mortal enemy to kneel down and pray to herself, and the Queen Mother was in a very good mood and was relieved with compassion.

The Queen Mother sighed lightly, ordered Jingshui a few words, and ordered her to bring Li Zong and Pei Yunruo up.

said to the outside world that he had repented in the small Buddha Hall, but in fact, Pei Yunruo was imprisoned in the dark room of Cining Palace by the Queen Mother.

A palace concubine who messed up the palace, the queen mother was afraid that she would pollute the purity of Buddhism.

Maybe he stayed in the dark room of Cining Palace for a few days, and he was scared of being rectified, and suddenly saw the light, Pei Yunruo still shrank back.

In the end, Pei Yunruo is still the concubine of Emperor Mingjing, and she also has a Jieyu grade, and Jingshui also specially asked a few little palace maids to dress up and wash for her.

Pei Yunruo looked at the faint palace beauty in the bronze mirror blankly, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then he lowered his eyebrows, and his face was calm.

She knew she couldn't hide.

The Queen Mother will not let her go, the emperor will not let her go, and everyone will not let her go!

Clenched her fists, her untrimmed nails digging into her flesh, beads of blood rolling and stinging her heart.

The pain in the hand, no matter how much it is ten times and a hundred times more, it can't compare to the humiliation of just a few days!

Since, all of you don't let the concubines have a good time......

Concubines only have one gamble......

It's all a death anyway!

Pull an emperor, and the concubine is not a loss.

Fengxian Hall is a little far away from Cining Palace, and when Pei Yunruo arrived, Li Zong had not yet arrived.

Emperor Mingjing quietly looked at Pei Yunruo who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly felt like he was in a different world.

Since the last time Pei Yunruo was calculated and made a big fuss in the Jinshen Palace, and was grounded by him, he hadn't seen her for a long time, this woman who used to be extremely pampered.

Her eyebrows and eyes are still beautiful and gentle, with delicate sideburns, and she is dressed in her favorite aqua blue palace dress, fresh and soft. It's just that those eyes that are always affectionate, revealing a thick vicissitudes of pathos, which makes people can't bear to look at it directly.

Her courage has also become a lot bigger, she always looks like she is always smiling with low eyebrows, but now she dares to raise her eyes and look directly.

Emperor Ming Jing shook his head, can he not be bold? I'm afraid they were all acting before, and women who can mess up the palace are always very bold.

After a long while, Li Zong finally arrived.

"The criminal minister Li Zong knocked on the emperor." Li Zong saluted respectfully and said.

Emperor Ming Jing looked at the two of His Royal Highness kneeling side by side, like a pair of beautiful people, his voice was very calm and cold, and said, "Say, what's going on with you two." ”

"Sinners ......"

Without waiting for Li Zong to speak, Pei Yunruo, who had been kneeling there without speaking, said, "The first time the concubine saw the prince, it was at the birthday banquet of the queen mother, at that time, the concubine was drunk and held the hand of the palace maid, and then arrived at the maple forest, under the cover of green trees and red flowers, the concubine met His Royal Highness King Xian......"

Pei Yunruo seemed to be immersed in memories, his face was full of sweetness and happiness.

What she didn't notice was that Emperor Mingjing on the high seat followed her every word, and his face gradually became gloomy.

No one wants to hear their own women talking about their private affairs with other men!

Maybe Pei Yun knew it, but she had no choice.

If she doesn't do what that person says, she will die, and there is still a glimmer of life if she does.

"His Royal Highness King Xian's literary style is graceful, and the concubines have heard of it since they were children, and their rhetoric is gorgeous and beautiful, which is heartbreaking."

Pei Yunruo's voice was crisp and pleasant, like softening the breeze of the whole spring, caressing the ears of everyone present and going straight into people's hearts.

"When I was a child, the concubine heard that His Royal Highness King Xian liked the guqin...... Emperor Mingjing watched her reveal the same tenderness as in weekdays, her cheeks were slightly red, and she heard her say with her own ears, "I specially invited my father to invite the female master of the guqin, just to be able to present a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" with his own hands one day."

This is a song that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Emperor Ming Jing thought of the world-class Jiaowei that he gave her with his own hands, and thought of the skillful song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" under the tree in Zhongcui Palace, and thought of ......

In a fit of emotion, he vomited blood, and it flowed down his chin to the dark clothes hooked with gold threads, a dark one, quite frightened.

"Emperor......" The Queen Mother was shocked, and while wiping him with a handkerchief, she said, "Come on, drag this!" ”

She can see that this is the purpose of this!

I want to the emperor to death!

No, it's not the purpose of this, it's the purpose of this mastermind!

Emperor Ming Jing waved his hand and stopped her, full of anger, he couldn't see that he had just vomited blood, and even his face was dyed with a hint of redness.

Just listen to him, "You go on ......"

Pei Yunruo looked at his cold look, and couldn't help but tremble, but there was no turning back when she opened the bow, there was no way back for what she had done, and there was a cliff behind her.

Secretly gritting her teeth, Pei Yunruo said again, "The concubine knows that it is a mistake to meet the prince, but the concubine can't control herself, her heart, and her own ...... Person. ”

How brazen it must be to say such disgusting words!

Li Zongben had been listening to Pei Yunruo's nonsense with his head down, and when he heard her words, he raised his head suddenly, and a wry smile appeared on his lips.

There's always only one hug between them, where is there more contact?

After all, it has changed.

The mouth is like honey, and the heart is like a snake and scorpion.

This sentence was enough to put them to death.

Emperor Ming Jing closed his eyes and said, "Come on, put these two people in the prison, and wait for the fate." ”

Now that he has lost face, he doesn't mind breaking the jar and letting everyone in the world see the disgusting faces of these two people!

Tomorrow, these two people will be cut off from the world!

He just wants to see all the arrangements of her behind the scenes, step by step, and then reveal the fox tail behind it!

Pei Yunruo collapsed to the ground and let the rough palace maid drag her down.

She finally saved her life, however, what awaits her is definitely not an acquittal.

She only hoped that the man would keep his promise.

The next day, before dawn, a group of courtiers wore brocade hats and official feathers, dressed in court clothes and pearls, and respectfully stood in the Taihe Hall according to their grades, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Mingjing.

However, the first to wait were the shackled virtuous king Li Zong and the palace concubine Pei Yunruo.

The rumors in the market that these officials outside the palace naturally knew everything clearly, looked at each other, and lowered their heads, as if they didn't see it.

This kind of nossiness is not something they can manage.

"The emperor has arrived—"

Huang Shun's voice sounded, it was Emperor Mingjing who had arrived.

"If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat from-" Huang Shun said as usual, as if he didn't see the two people kneeling in the center, very calm.

Su Zheng also walked out in cooperation and said, "The minister has a book...... The military situation in the west is urgent...... Grain and grass ...... the household department"

This is a major military event, and it should be a priority for all the ministers to discuss together, however, all the courtiers seemed to be silent, and even Emperor Ming Jing silently pressed the fold and did not say a word.

The Wang family was in charge of the family, and at this time he stood up, glanced at Li Zong and Pei Yunruo who were kneeling in the middle, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and said righteously, "The minister has a good song, and now the rumors in the imperial city are very poisonous, tarnishing the royal reputation, I hope Your Majesty will investigate this matter thoroughly!" to prove the royal innocence. ”

Emperor Ming Jing looked at him deeply, and finally spoke, "I don't press this beforehand, Huang Shun, declare the decree-"

Huang Shun turned sideways and took a bright yellow scroll from the hand of the little eunuch on the side, slowly unfolded it, and said, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, I have been on the throne since I succeeded to the throne...... Xianwang Li Zong and Jieyu Pei ...... Chaos Palace...... Now abolish the throne of King Li Zongxian and take back the fiefdom...... Confined to Yu Shiyan...... Sentenced Pei Shi Ling Chi to ......"

What is Stone Rock?

In the entire extremely cold land of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people will not pass by there, and even business travelers will not choose to pass by Shiyan because of shortcuts.

deprived Li Zong of the position of the virtuous king and confined to Shiyan, Emperor Mingjing wanted Li Zong to fend for himself, life is better than death!

The ministers were in an uproar, this is the first emperor's son! Where can you abolish the seal at will like an ordinary vassal king!

However, when they thought of what Li Zong had committed, everyone was also relieved, and the filthy palace and the usurpation of the dynasty were routinely confined.

It's just that how much of this is true and how much is false, and they outsiders don't know.

It doesn't need to be clear either.

Li Zong never said much, his head was lowered, his waist was straight, he couldn't see his expression clearly, even if he heard that he was confined to Shi Yan, he was indifferent, and even his body shape did not change at all.

I don't understand what he's thinking right now.

Su Zheng bent down, a fox-like smile appeared on the corner of her lips, sure enough, she was a girl taught by the Su family, and her intelligence was not inferior to her sister!

"The Emperor Shengming—"

It is a foregone conclusion, even if there are any complaints, it will not help, and the ministers can only shout long live and shout Shengming.

This is the Son of Heaven, complimented by the ministers, and praised by thousands of people.

Huang Shun got Emperor Mingjing to signal, and said in a loud voice, "Retreat from the dynasty, the emperor will drive-"

"Wait—"

Before Huang Shun finished speaking, he heard a female voice coming from the main entrance of the Taihe Palace.

The sky has been bright, the red sun is rising, a woman in palace clothes, holding up bright yellow objects in her hands, walking against the light, the silver-red brocade shines in the sun, gorgeous and dignified!

Silver-red, the color that only concubines and above deserve to wear!
