The Sixty-sixth Episode (I)

Because the concubine was demoted from a concubine to a concubine by the Queen Mother, Emperor Zhaoming was extremely unhappy, but Liu Guifei made a big mistake in public, and Emperor Zhaoming couldn't operate it even if he was biased, so many people watched it, if he openly protected Liu Guifei today, Ming'er Yushitai's excerpt would be able to flood half of the palace. Emperor Zhaoming is not the kind of emperor who is decisive in killing, except for favoring Liu Guifei, he has really not done anything to go his own way so far.

Just because he couldn't go his own way, the anger in Emperor Zhaoming's heart became more and more intense, he looked at everyone in His Highness coldly, and hated these people for forcing themselves into this embarrassing situation, but he didn't want this matter to be provoked by his beloved concubine, if there was no so-called marriage edict, these things would not have happened later.

With a cold gaze, he glanced at everyone under His Royal Highness, and finally, Emperor Zhaoming's gaze was fixed on the faint Zheng family, and he shouted coldly: Come on, drag the Zheng family down and kill with a rod.

As soon as Zhou Mengyao heard that Emperor Zhaoming was going to kill her mother with a cane, her frightened soul flew out of the sky, and she hurriedly crawled to the Queen Mother, crying and shouting: Aunt and grandmother of the Queen Mother, please show mercy and save your mother......

The queen was gloomy, and said coldly: Zheng's imperial failure should be beheaded. How could the Queen Mother not know that her son was angry with herself. He degraded Liu Guifei, and he took Zheng, her distant nephew and daughter-in-law, to open the knife. The Queen Mother secretly said in her heart: It's best to kill, this Zheng family is Liu's cousin, if you talk about intimacy, her relationship with Liu's family is naturally closer than that of the mourning family, and if she dies, she will die, and the mourning family just needs to keep Xingtian.

The queen mother and the emperor both spoke, and the eunuchs stepped forward to drag Zheng out and kill him with a cane. Poor Zheng couldn't have imagined that he couldn't get married for his daughter to enter the palace, but he gave his life in vain.

Zhou Mengyao saw her mother being dragged out, and pounced on her mother to snatch her mother back, but was blocked by two eunuchs, and Zhou Mengyao could only watch her mother being dragged away.

Zhou Mengyao cried and pounced, how could he not attract the attention of Emperor Zhaoming, Emperor Zhaoming thought that today's incident was all caused by Zhou Mengyao, and immediately said coldly: Zhou's Mengyao is ...... Zhou Mengyao's misconduct, so she sent it to Huixin Hospital to think about it. The Queen Mother rushed before Emperor Zhaoming to express her opinions on Zhou Mengyao's treatment.

Emperor Zhaoming frowned, obviously very unhappy, but he did not refute the Queen Mother, and only said in a deep voice: Come on, quickly send Zhou Mengyao to the Huixin Courtyard to think about it. did not give a date for thinking about it, obviously Emperor Zhaoming planned to let Zhou Mengyao finish her life in the Huixin Courtyard.

Huixinyuan can be said to be the nightmare of all women in the family of Yanjing City's official eunuchs, and the women who have entered Huixinyuan will never want to raise their heads again in this life. Even those who were pardoned and released back were branded as unruly, and no one wanted to associate with them, and those women were already living dead in the eyes of the world.

Zhou Mengyao was frightened, she cried loudly: Aunt and grandmother of the Queen Mother, Yao'er knows that she is wrong, can you spare Yao'er this time......

The Queen Mother didn't look at her niece and granddaughter, she really liked Zhou Mengyao, and she was ready to marry Zhou Mengyao on the August Festival, the Queen Mother had already chosen someone, and the man was Chen Yeming, the son of the Duke of Xu. Zhou Mengyao is Mrs. Shizi when she comes to the house, which is a good family affair that can't be found with a lantern. But who would have thought that Zhou Mengyao would be so unbreathable, just because he had not yet decided on his family affairs, he would do such a foolish thing. The ladies in Yanjing City are usually sixteen years old, I really don't know what Mengyao is anxious about this week, with her relationship with the Queen Mother, will there be no good family affairs?

The Queen Mother was extremely disappointed in Zhou Mengyao, and had obviously decided to give up on her, and Zhou Mengyao's crying would only make the Queen Mother even more annoyed. Emperor Zhaoming waved his hand with a straight face, and the two eunuchs stepped forward to block Zhou Mengyao's mouth, and dragged her out roughly, Zhou Mengyao, who was dragged to the courtyard, saw the bloody mother who had been beaten, and fainted with fright as soon as she rolled her eyes, which saved the two eunuchs, and they dragged Zhou Mengyao out of Cining Palace and sent her to Huixin Courtyard. On the way back to the heart courtyard, the two eunuchs snatched all the jewelry and money from Zhou Mengyao, stripped off her coat, and sold it back to the clothes shop, how could they sell it for more than ten or twenty taels of silver. In this way, Zhou Mengyao, who was only wearing a middle coat, was sent to Huixinyuan and began her life in Huixinyuan, which was worse than death.

After sending out the Zheng mother and daughter, Emperor Zhaoming looked at Huangfu Jingde and others, and his mood was still extremely unhappy. Even he had a hint of resentment in his heart, if the emperor's father and son accepted the order honestly first, and then reported to him privately when they turned around, Liu Guifei would not have been demoted to a noble concubine and sent to Ningcui Palace, which is known as the invisible cold palace.

The one who knows Emperor Zhaoming best is not the Queen Mother, but Qi Jinghuan, the nephew. Qi Jinghuan saw that the emperor's uncle was still gloomy when he looked at Huangfu Jingde and the others, and immediately guessed that his imperial uncle was angry with Huangfu and his son. Qi Jinghuan was secretly anxious in his heart, this matter was originally the victim of Huangfu's father and son, how could he be implicated in eating melons? Besides, where can Zhou Mengyao match the Emperor Fu Jingbian, this family affair is not suitable in the first place, and it should be broken.

Uncle Huang...... Qi Jinghuan shouted.

Emperor Zhaoming turned his head to look at Qi Jinghuan, his face finally eased a little, he really loved Qi Jinghuan, his nephew, and naturally he would not be cold again. Huan'er, what do you want to say? Emperor Zhaoming asked slowly.

Uncle Huang, my nephew has never seen such a traitor in my Dachen territory for decades, how can Miss Zhou still have such an encounter outside Yanjing City? also let the little general Huangfu meet a positive one. Qi Jinghuan said slowly.

Listening to his nephew's words, Emperor Zhaoming's face changed slightly, in fact, Zhou Mengyao's robbery and rescue outside the city could not withstand scrutiny at all, and the security of Gyeonggi was still very good, although it could not reach the Cheng dรน of not picking up the road and not closing the door at night, but the mountain bandits and thieves rarely appeared, even if there was a thief, they did not dare to attack the carriages and horses of the official eunuchs, at most they robbed and robbed the merchants who had traveled in the past, and robbed a few money for drinking and eating meat, just think of it as a disaster avoidance, and take out some money and be fine.

As for the adultery of women, the thieves did not dare to do it. The Great Chen Law clearly stipulates that there is no forgiveness for those who commit adultery with women. Emperor Taizong, the founder of the Great Chen, was raped and killed by bandits when he was young. Therefore, after the founding of the country, Emperor Taizong wrote the article that adulterers are killed without forgiveness in the Dachen law, and after the 30th year of the founding of Dachen, Dachen no longer dared to rape women.

Thinking that it was the bureau set up by Mengyao that Zhou to plot against Huangfu Yongning, Huangfu Yongning was an innocent victim, and Emperor Zhaoming only came to such a conclusion at this time. When he looked at Huangfu Jingde and the others, his complexion softened a lot.

Huangfu Aiqing, Jingbian, you have been wronged, and I will give you an explanation for this matter. Emperor Zhaoming looked at Huangfu Jingde and the others and said.

Huangfu Jingde didn't dare to say anything, but he wondered if he would take this opportunity to let his daughter reveal her true identity. The ladies in Yanjing City are so violent, if someone learns the same way and calculates his daughter in a different way, wouldn't it be more troublesome. Huangfu Jingde secretly made up his mind in his heart, but because Prince Le Qi Jinghuan and Gongsun Yuanzi and Gongsun Yuanniang, three people who didn't know the inside story, were present, they didn't say it immediately.

Huangfu Jingde didn't say it, so he didn't know that the Queen Mother and Emperor Zhaoming didn't want Huangfu Yongning to disclose the identity of his daughter's family at this time. Speaking of which, the Queen Mother and Emperor Zhaoming are really worthy of being mother and son, and their minds are very different.

The queen mother thought that the five princes born by the queen were still younger, and the brothers above him had not yet decided to marry, so how could they directly marry him. It's better for this Huangfu Yongning to continue to pretend to be a man, and when the fifth prince is older, Huangfu Yongning has also delayed the age of marriage, and then she will directly give marriage. And Emperor Zhaoming and the Queen Mother have the same idea, but the candidate for marriage is not the fifth prince but the sixth prince, the sixth prince is not yet thirteen years old, and his mother has just been demoted, so naturally it is not the time to give marriage.

Huangfu Aiqing, Jingbian, come to the court early tomorrow morning to receive the seal. As compensation, Emperor Zhaoming must have to do something, he remembered that the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War had handed over the excerpt to Huangfu Jingde and his son, so he said to Huangfu Jingde.

Huangfu Jingde is not happy but worried, after all, he had already written in the secret fold that he would redeem the crime of Huangfu Yongning disguised herself as a man to join the army with this breakthrough, and Emperor Zhaoming had already acquiesced at that time.

Your Majesty, it is the duty of the generals to protect the territory and the people, and the ministers and dogs do not dare to take credit. Huangfu Jingde suddenly knelt down and asked for his resignation. Huangfu Yongning also quickly knelt down. The three brothers and sisters of Gongsun also knelt down.

Huangfu Qing's family, meritorious service must be rewarded and punished, the father and son of the Qing family have great merit in the country, how can they not be rewarded, Aiqing should not shirk, I have made a decision, come to the court early tomorrow. Okay, let's go out of the palace and rest. Of course, Emperor Zhaoming knew why Huangfu Jingde resigned, but he had already made a decision, so how could he allow Huangfu Jingde not to obey. Therefore, Emperor Zhaoming smiled on his face, but he glanced at Huangfu Jingde with a hint of warning in his eyes. Huangfu Jingde knelt down to ask for resignation and never saw it, but Qi Jinghuan, who was sitting diagonally opposite Emperor Zhaoming, saw it clearly, and he suddenly became suspicious in his heart, and said secretly: There is something strange, there must be an inside story in this matter.

Emperor Zhaoming had already driven people away, and Huangfu Jingde had no choice but to retire. I went out of the palace with four children. Along the way, Huangfu Jingde frowned, looking like a person who was about to be knighted, but like an unlucky ghost who had been dismissed from office.

Jingbian, why is Uncle Huangfu worried? Gongsun Yuanzi quietly poked Huangfu Yongning, and asked in a low voice.

Huangfu Yongning didn't know what happened to his father, after all, Huangfu Jingde had never sued his daughter about exchanging military merits for status. That is, Huangfu Yongning never cared about military merits, so he didn't have any opinion on Emperor Zhaoming's delay in rewarding him, and if he was replaced by someone else, he wouldn't know what it would be like. In fact, there are now many people who are unhappy that Huangfu Jingde's father and son have not been rewarded.

I don't know, maybe my dad is still angry that someone is calculating my business. Huangfu Yongning shook his head and casually said his conjecture.

Marshal Huangfu, please stay...... Everyone went out of the palace gate and was about to get on their horses, but they heard someone shouting behind them. Huangfu Jingde turned his head to look, and saw that it was the little eunuch Tian Shou next to Prince Le who was running over in a hurry. Since returning to Yanjing City, Huangfu Jingde has met Prince Qi Jinghuan a lot of times, so that he is now very familiar with Tian Fu Tian Shou Tian Xi Tian Lu beside Qi Jinghuan.

Tim Shou? What's the matter with you? Huangfu Jingde frowned and asked.

Please wait a little longer, our prince will be here soon, and the prince has something to ask the marshal. Tian Shou said breathlessly.

Huangfu Jingde nodded, turned around and said: Yuan Qing, you take them back to the house first, and your uncle will return later.

Tian Shou was dumbfounded, as a qualified personal little eunuch, of course he knew that it was an excuse for his prince to talk to Marshal Huangfu, in fact, the prince wanted to talk to Major General Huangfu for a while, but Marshal Huangfu ......

Tian Shou is a clever little eunuch, and when he saw him, he immediately smiled and said: Gongsun Gongzi, please go first, Doctor Jiang Xiao has something to find the young general.

Huangfu Jingde knew that since he recognized each other, a pair of children were very good, and the two brothers and sisters couldn't think of each other if they didn't see each other for two days, so he didn't suspect it, and only said: Then Jingbian will stay for a while.

Gongsun Yuanzi, who didn't know the reason, shouted: It's really weird, Jingbian and Ah Ren have only known each other for a few days, so it's okay?

Gongsun Yuanqing patted his younger brother and scolded: Yuanzi, don't talk nonsense. Then he smiled at Huangfu Jingde and said: Uncle Huangfu, there is no hurry left and right, we will wait on the side, it is better to go back together.

Huangfu Jingde attaches great importance to Gongsun Yuanqing, of course he will not refute his opinion, pointing to the fluttering tea disguise not far away, he smiled and nodded: It's okay. Let's go to the teahouse over there and wait for the prince while eating tea. Tian Shou, you go and report to the prince. Tian Shou answered and quickly ran away.

Everyone moved to the teahouse, and Dr. Tea ushered them into the private room, served tea and snacks, and then retreated. Everyone stood in the main hall of Cining Palace for a long time, feeling thirsty. Huangfu Jingde is still more stable, a few small ones are thirsty, and they all poured three or four cups of tea ruthlessly, which can be regarded as quenching their thirst.

After quenching their thirst, everyone had to talk about Zheng's mother and daughter.

I only heard Gongsun Yuanzi say loudly: That Zhou Mengyao wanted to calculate Jingbian, but she filled in their mother and daughter, she really deserved it! Enter the Huixin Courtyard and see what flowers she can still toss!

It's just ...... Gongsun Yuanniang hated Zhou Mengyao for calculating Huangfu Jingbian, this little girl was careful and thoughtful, and she couldn't tolerate anyone thinking about Huangfu Jingbian. So she talked to her brother and I said word by word.

The brothers and sisters of Gongsun said lively, but they didn't know that all his words were heard. In the basement of this teahouse, called the Crescent Teahouse, a middle-aged man put his ear to one of the dozen copper pipes the thickness of a bowl, listened carefully, and then quickly recorded it. Then the recorded notes are grouped into balls the size of lychees, and then sealed with hot wax and thrown into the copper pipe by the wall, with a dull click...... After that, the wax pill didn't know where it had fallen.

Huangfu Yongning's ears are very good, and she immediately heard it...... Voices. Out of the vigilance of the soldiers, Huangfu Yongning immediately made a gesture to her father, and then dipped his finger in the tea and wrote on the table: Don't speak, someone is eavesdropping!

Everyone was shocked, Gongsun Yuanzi and Gongsun Yuanzi were about to scream, but Gongsun Yuanqing, who knew the temperament of his younger brother and sister, picked up two pastries and quickly stuffed them into their mouths, and the two brothers and sisters could only stare at them without making any sound. Huangfu Jingde immediately smiled and said: Yuan Qing, last time you said that there is a restaurant in the east of the city that makes mutton shabu very well, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, why don't you go and try it together today? While speaking, Huangfu Jingde also dipped the tea and wrote on the table: Only gossip.

Gongsun Yuanqing understood, and immediately responded with a smile: What Uncle Huangfu said is very true, that restaurant is called Donglaiju...... Gongsun Yuanqing introduced Donglaiju in detail, and everyone also understood, and they all responded with the voice, and the private room was still very lively, but he didn't mention a word about the palace again. However, these people's fingers were not idle, and they dipped their tea in the table and wrote and scratched.

Go and catch the eavesdropper...... I'll go...... Don't go for ...... Thou shalt not startle the snake...... Lines of handwriting appeared on the table, and then they were erased again. When talking about shabu mutton, everyone kept talking until the tea ran out, and Huangfu Jingde did not order anyone to renew the tea, so he paid for the tea and left the crescent teahouse with his four children.

As soon as everyone walked out of the Crescent Teahouse, they saw Prince Le hurrying over in a sedan chair. Qi Jinghuan saw through the gauze sedan curtain that Huangfu Jingde and his entourage had walked out, the nervousness on his face eased slightly, he leaned back on the backrest, and muttered to himself: Time is so short, they shouldn't say too much that they shouldn't say, this crescent moon teahouse is very weird, but it is necessary to step up the investigation.

Just when Qi Jinghuan met with Huangfu Jingde and others, in a remote courtyard in the northwest of the back house of the Zuo Shilang Mansion of the Ministry of Officials, a thin girl looked at the note in her hand, and an extremely happy smile appeared on her pale face, Zhou Mengyao, even if you have the ability to leave the Huixin Courtyard, you who were insulted by the bandits are innocent, what kind of face do you have to come back to be the fourth lady of the Zhou Shilang Mansion? You killed the lady who pressed on my mother and my head, and tossed yourself into the Huixin Courtyard, how do you think I should thank you?

This girl is none other than the daughter of Zhou Xingtian, the third lady Zhou Mengrong. Her mother-in-law, the He family, was originally Zhou Xingtian's concubine, and the mother and daughter were also favored in the past, but later the He family was defeated, and the life of the mother and daughter in the Zuo Shilang Mansion became difficult. Zheng and Zhou Mengyao were originally extremely disgusted with He's mother and daughter, seeing that her mother and daughter were losing power, how could they not step on it hard, but now Zheng was killed with a cane, and Zhou Mengyao was sent to Huixin Hospital, this Zhou Mengrong's good days can be regarded as back......
