Chapter 157: Murder (End)

The palace people screamed loudly, panicked to stop it, but they didn't dare to offend the dragon body because of their status as kings. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In the midst of a wail, suddenly a stick really hit Liu Yuanzhao's head. Liu Yuanzhao was knocked unconscious on the spot.

The people in the palace couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, turned their heads to look, and saw a little eunuch holding a stick, which seemed to be frightened, and he lost the stick and turned around and ran.

Jia Quan came back to his senses first, and shouted later: "What are you running, you are a meritorious person, and no one will be difficult for you." ”

But the little eunuch, like a frightened rabbit, blinked and ran away.

Jia Quan wanted to let people chase after him, but he just thought about it, although this little eunuch did no merit, but His Majesty may not be punished when he woke up, he ran away by himself, and when he turned around, His Majesty woke up and asked, he just pushed it and didn't know. But the little eunuch just now was really angry, and he didn't know which palace it was? Alas! There are too many eunuchs in this palace, and he really can't remember this brain.

The palace people carried Emperor Huiwu back to the dormitory, and they were busy for a while, and at noon, the fire in the Fengyi Palace would be extinguished, but the palace had also become a scorched earth.

Liu Yuanzhao was deeply trapped in a nightmare, and in the dream, Ah Fu came to say goodbye to him: "I'm leaving, you can take care of yourself alone." After saying that, it immediately dissipated into a puff of green smoke.

Liu Yuanzhao woke up from a nightmare in a cold sweat, and the first thing he said was: "Where is the imperial concubine?" ”

Jia Quan, who was standing next to him, had to report closely: "The fire in Fengyi Palace has been extinguished. For a while, he didn't dare to say the specific situation.

"What about the imperial concubine?" But Liu Yuanzhao asked tightly.

Jia Quan said in horror: "There is only one female corpse in the dormitory, and I don't know the appearance,...... The fire was very large, and now the main hall of Fengyi Palace has been burned to ruins. ”

In fact, he had already inquired, according to the palace maid next to the imperial concubine, when the fire burned, the imperial concubine slept in the dormitory. Because the imperial concubine doesn't like outsiders to be around when she rests, the palace maids stay outside. The fire began to burn from the imperial concubine's bedroom, and everyone originally poured water to extinguish it, but they didn't want the fire to burn more and more, and the water could not be extinguished. What's more, now that His Majesty the Emperor is losing his soul, he is hesitant for a while, but no matter how bad it is, he still has to return it, and Jia Quan has to report it one by one.

Liu Yuanzhao didn't listen to it, and when he heard it, his heart was broken, originally he was lucky to think that maybe this was just Ah Fu's golden cicada to get out of the shell, but when he heard that there was really a female corpse in the burned palace, that bit of luck turned into nothing, and he couldn't help but ask: "Who did it?" ”

Xia Dong knelt on the ground and said: "It's hard to say, there are many people in the palace who are dissatisfied with the imperial concubine, slander is everywhere, and resentment is all over the world. ”

Liu Yuanzhao said coldly: "Okay! Give me a detailed investigation, find out the real culprit, and punish it severely! ”

Xia Dong took the order and went out, and explained it to investigate in detail without mentioning it.

Liu Yuanzhao was lying alone on the couch, thinking of the past when Ah Fu was there, and looking at the cold palace in the lower hall now, his heart was as sad as a cut, and his heart was miserable and endless. The joy of losing and regaining suddenly turned into the pain of gaining and losing, and its sadness and sadness were naturally doubled. It's clear that he's been around again, why has it suddenly turned into an empty joy? Thinking about it, I finally couldn't hold back my tears. This situation and this scene are heartbreaking!

The news that the imperial concubine Niangniang was burned to death in the fire quickly spread throughout the court, and although everyone was shocked, most of them clapped their hands and said that they were happy. It is said that it is so demonic, in the end, let God clean it up. However, His Majesty the Emperor has not been in court for many days since that day, which also worries the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. In addition, Jia Quan led the emperor's order to investigate and deal with the case of the fire in Fengyi Palace, all the palace maids in Fengyi Palace were interrogated one by one, and there was nothing suspicious, the only suspicious thing was that a palace maid was missing in Fengyi Palace, and this palace maid was the personal palace maid of the imperial concubine Niangniang named Xiaofen. According to Cui'er, another personal palace maid of the imperial concubine Niangniang, this Xiaofen disappeared on the day of the fire in Fengyi Palace.

Jia Quan reported the news back to Emperor Huiwu.

Emperor Huiwu seemed to find a ray of light in the darkness: "In this way, the corpse of the Fengyi Palace maid may not be Ah Fu, but it may also be the palace maid beside her?" "Think about it but it's not right, although Ah Fu is ruthless, but he is affectionate to the people around him, the little palace maid has been by his side for a long time, and it is impossible for her to get out of her life for herself. Unless the little palace maid is the murderer of the master, and then escapes without a trace. Thinking about it like this, the joy was not yet pervasive, but it was poured cold, and the heart was tormented, and it had become ashes. He said coldly: "Be sure to find out the whereabouts of the missing palace maid." ”

However, the palace maid Xiaofen is like evaporating from the world, where can she find it. Jia Quan found nothing, reinstated again, and was reprimanded by Emperor Huiwu.

Although the case of the fire in Fengyi Palace was not found out in the end, Emperor Huiwu obviously had suspicions about the bureaucrats and concubines in the palace who had slandered the imperial concubines. For a while, there was a storm in the court, many ministers were either reprimanded or deposed, and the concubines in the palace were often corrected, or beaten or sent to the cold palace, and the clouds were miserable, where are the flowers of the past thriving!

There are even some opportunistic treacherous evils who take the opportunity to welcome the king, exclude dissidents, frame good ministers, and denounce that so-and-so has nothing to do with the murder of the imperial concubine, and the court prison gradually rises.

Those good ministers who were slandered all cursed bitterly, saying that the imperial concubine was born as a fox, died as a demon, and caused endless harm to the dynasty.

During this period, there was a little palace maid named Cui'er next to the former imperial concubine Niangniang, who didn't know why Emperor Huiwu liked her, first promoted her to a talented person, and then became Zhaoyi, often accompanied by the king's side, and the harem concubines were all jealous and hateful.

In the Yuhua Building, Mrs. Biluo took three incense sticks in front of the Buddha statue as usual, and when she came out of the morning class, someone said to her: "Feng Zhaoyi is here." ”

Biluo came to the palace, and saw a woman in a soft red palace dress of Shu brocade sitting quietly on the Nanmu chair, she wore a five-phoenix drop bead dotted emerald crown, tortoiseshell ears, silk agate bracelet wrapped in her hand, pointed cloud head shoes on her feet, and a three-inch golden lotus can be boasted. The face is radiant, the skin is plump, although it is not very bright, but it is also a beautiful woman, boudoir flowers and willows, so dressed up, no matter what, it is delicate and cute enough.

When the woman saw her coming, she looked up and smiled: "The Buddha is pious, and he never misses the morning class every day. ”

Bi Luo glanced at her lightly: "Feng Zhaoyi is so leisurely, come over early in the morning, aren't you afraid that the saint will not find anyone in your palace?" ”

When Feng Zhaoyi heard this, her eyebrows darkened, but she sighed lowly: "What if you go to me, it's just to ask me about the old things of the imperial concubine." ”

Biluo glanced at her slightly and said, "You should have foreseen such a situation." Why is this troubled now? If it weren't for this, would you think that you would be able to win the favor of the Holy Gods just by you? ”

It turns out that this Feng Zhaoyi is Cui'er next to the original treasure bead, and now she is surnamed Feng, and she has been named Zhaoyi, so everyone in the palace calls her Feng Zhaoyi.

When she heard this, she couldn't help but say sadly: "Although I have foreseen it, I have also thought that the water drop stone is worn, and the golden stone will be opened with sincerity, and sooner or later I will be able to impress Your Majesty, but now it seems that it is a bit of a fool's dream." Your Majesty thinks in his heart, there is only the imperial concubine, no matter how affectionate others are, he just doesn't go to his heart, what can I do? ”

Biluo sighed lightly: "It seems that you regret it?" ”

Cui'er immediately said: "That's not the case, I came today to let Shitai teach me how to get His Majesty's sincerity." Mrs. Shi is the person who knows the imperial concubine the best, what are the benefits of her, so that His Majesty has always been obsessed with her? ”

Biluo looked up at the sky outside the temple, the blue sky was like a wash, the sky was clear, and it was a clear weather, but even if the sky was clear and clear, there were many undercurrents under it, but people were always limited by their eyesight and could not see through.

The nun in a simple dress turned her eyes to look at the noble woman: "If it is anything else, I can still teach you, but when it comes to how to get the emperor's favor, I have no plan to tell you." Affection is the cheapest in the world, but it is also the most valuable, if you want to say that it is easy to obtain, it is easy to say, and it is difficult to say that it is difficult, you have to understand it yourself. ”

Cui'er didn't believe it, and said anxiously: "Shi Taizhi is wise and wise, since he can use clever tricks to kill the imperial concubine and let me win Zhaoyi, why can't you tell me how to win the emperor's heart?" ”

"What did you say?" The nun looked at Biluo with cold eyes, and her always gentle eyes seemed to be a frozen pool at the moment, and the cool air overflowed, forming a strong contrast with her clothes. It turns out that the Bodhisattva is not without anger!

Cui'er was frightened for a moment and couldn't speak.

The nun said incomprehensibly: "I told you a long time ago, that thing is best rotten in the stomach, and now that you mention it, do you think your life is too long!" ”

Cui'er said neainously: "I lost my mouth." ”

The nun said coldly: "From now on, you don't have to come to me again!" ”

Leaving this sentence, he turned around and walked away, leaving only Feng Zhaoyi, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting alone in the empty matching hall, his eyebrows lowered, and his feelings were silent.

The nun turned to the Buddha hall again, slowly raised her head to look at the Buddha statue with her eyes down forever and smiling above, and murmured: "Your Highness, I don't know if you know that when you killed His Majesty's mother, the Yan family, you also killed the Yan family, and my mother and sister both died because of this." It's ridiculous that I have always taken you as a benefactor, it turns out that you are the culprit who caused me to lose care when I was young! ”

In the empty hall of the Buddha hall, there was a sudden gust of wind blowing, blowing the veil in the hall fluttering and flying, sprinkling Xiaoxiao, in the dark, there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands manipulating everything. There seems to be a sighing voice coming from a very distant place: right and wrong grievances turn empty, and retribution is endless!
