There are no impermeable walls in the world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, the walls of Hanyang Palace are unbelievably ventilated.
Na Rong had just left Tianyuan Pond with the broken mortise and tenon joint, and someone went to Longkang Palace to report the news.
That is to say, when Zhao Yuan didn't know the news, the queen had already begun to think about countermeasures.
She thought only for less than a moment, and then immediately said to Qu Jun: "Quick, prepare the chariot, no, prepare the carriage!" The main palace is going to the court bureau immediately. ”
The eunuchs who were driving the carriage along the way were all whipping up their horses, and the sound of the galloping carriage and horses spread far away in the originally very quiet palace street.
Usually in the harem, the concubines either walk or sit on the chariot when they go out, where can they use the carriage. Today, the queen's behavior is so abnormal, although the palace people dare not say anything when her carriage passes, after the end, they always have to whisper.
These gossips naturally spread to Chongluan Palace at the fastest speed.
"What?" When Concubine Chen heard this, she looked very nervous, turned over and sat up from the bed. She looked at An Ji and said, "Could it be that this matter is really related to King Alcohol?" ”
An Ji's eyes rolled, and he said a little embarrassed: "The stakes are very high, and the old slave doesn't dare to talk nonsense." However, the queen is so anxious, I'm afraid there is always something behind it. ”
Concubine Chen hammered the butterfly pomegranate pattern huanghuali platform bed carved on her side with her hand, and said fiercely: "The alcohol king actually used such a poisonous plan to harm Fuyue!" ”
"On weekdays, this palace has endured many times, and this time I can't go backwards by saying anything! …… Let's go, this palace is also going to the court bureau! ”
"You can't just leave it at that!"
……
After the queen got down from the vermilion and silver-rimmed carriage painted with a golden phoenix and a rising sun, she did not stop a single step, and hurried to the palace gate of the court bureau.
When Zhao Yuan heard the report, he nodded and said very calmly, "Let the queen come in." ”
After finishing speaking, a trace of indescribable sadness flashed in his eyes: "Today's events could have been big or small, but the queen was so uncontrollable that she broke through like this regardless of it, and it was impossible for me to make a big thing small." ”
"She thought that with her here, the Alcohol King would be safe, but she didn't know that the more she was like this, the more the Alcohol King would become a target for attack."
At this time, another eunuch came in and said, "Concubine Chen asks to see you." ”
Zhao Yuan sneered, and said in his heart: "Empress, Empress, it is the wisest thing to raise Taoguang at this time, you have to set up a target." You see, the archers are coming soon, right? ”
He waved his hand and said, "Since you are here, let them all come in." ”
When the queen and Concubine Chen walked through the verandah to the main hall, their faces were sinking like water, their eyes were frosty, and they didn't even look at each other. But as soon as they arrived outside the palace gate, it seemed that a tacit understanding had been formed over the years, and both of them smiled at the same time.
The queen took the initiative to stretch out her hand and said in a soft voice: "My sister is not in good health, why did she come here?" ”
Concubine Chen held the queen's hand and said, "Sister Xie is compassionate." It's about King Rui, and my sister can't rest assured. ”
As he spoke, the two entered the main hall with each other.
Zhao Yuan watched the two of them greet each other hypocritically below, and there was already tension that could not be hidden between his eyes. He suddenly felt a deep desolation: "After all, neither of them can be trusted. ”
After the queen and Concubine Chen sat down, Zhao Yuan said to Na Rong, who was kneeling below: "Tell the ladies what you just said again." ”
Narong raised the broken mortise and tenon in his hand, showed it to the two mothers, and then said calmly: "After each piece of mortise and tenon is made, it has been inspected in detail and recorded. ”
"On that day, these accepted mortise and tenon joints were lacquered and dried in the courtyard, but in the afternoon, it was found that there was no accident."
"Later, it was found under a pillar not far from the drying place. At the time, everyone thought that someone had misplaced it, so they didn't care. ”
After the accident, the old slave remembered this incident and felt more and more strange. After thinking about it carefully, only Li Zhou, a hundred households from the East Riding Tiger Battalion, had been to the Hook and Shield Bureau that day. ”
His last sentence was said lightly, but it sounded like thunder to the queen-Dongqi Tiger Battalion, this is the personal guard of the King of Alcohol!
So as soon as Na Rong's voice fell, the queen said quite unhappily: "You have also been in the palace for decades, and you still speak like this." There are so many people who come to the Hook and Shield Bureau every day, why not mention this person? ”
"There is naturally evidence for the old slave to say this, and the time when people who come in and out of the Hook and Shield Bureau every day are recorded in detail. You can go and check it out. Na Rong said this with full confidence, neither humble nor arrogant.
Concubine Chen knew that she couldn't be silent any longer, and before the queen could speak, she preemptively said: "Then please ask the emperor to arrest this person, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
Zhao Yuan listened, but there was still no expression on his face.
At this time, Liu Fuquan walked in from outside, he was sweating profusely, and he was still a little out of breath when he spoke: "Go back to the emperor...... The old slave took people to the East Riding Tiger Camp non-stop...... But Li Zhou had died violently the night before yesterday. ”
"The old slave obeyed the emperor's order and asked His Royal Highness King Alcohol to come down to the court, but His Highness refused."
Even if Zhao Yuan has a good temperament, he can't help it at this time: "Does King Alcohol want to resist and disobey?" ”
Concubine Chen listened and said lightly: "If you are okay in your heart, why do you refuse to come so much." ”
The queen didn't care about it, she glared at Concubine Chen fiercely: "What do you mean by this, even if someone in the East Riding Tiger Camp is bought to harm King Rui, King Alcohol is completely unaware, what can be going on in his heart?" ”
Liu Fuquan saw that the two mothers were on the bar, and the emperor was also angry. He was anxious, so he hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Alcohol did not mean not to come, he said that he knew nothing about this matter, and there was no reason to harm King Rui. ”
"The old slave repeatedly begged the alcohol king to come, but he just refused to ......"
Zhao Yuan was furious when he heard this, and said in his heart: "This has not been established as the crown prince, is it clear that he is resisting the decree?" ”
He was about to have a seizure, when he heard Liu Fuquan say again: "King Alcohol said that although this matter has nothing to do with him, after all, it is the scum of his own soldiers, and he knows that he can't escape punishment." ”
"I asked the old slave to come back and tell the emperor and Niangniang, there is no need to trouble passing him into the court bureau, just exile him to the bitter cold northern Xinjiang. Anyway, it's ...... anyway"
Speaking of this, Liu Fuquan seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage before he could continue: "Anyway, didn't you send it ten years ago?" None of them died, and now that they're older, they can't die! ”
As soon as Liu Fuquan's words came out, the anger in Zhao Yuan's chest was as if it had been pierced by a thin needle, and it was completely discharged, leaving only the guilt mixed with memories to hit in waves......
When the queen heard this, she was also like being stabbed into the heart, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Tears fell on the silver thread begonias embroidered on the placket of the royal blue silk gown, like a torrential rain falling for no reason. It is extremely poignant and quite helpless.
