Chapter 141: Escape
Meng Lianggu stomped his feet and said, "What's the use of thinking about it now?" Why didn't you grow a long brain at that time? ”
Qi Lu was speechless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Meng Lianggu walked back and forth for a few steps, then sat on the chair and said, "Even if this Heng Wang is really the imperial concubine and let it go, she came by holy order." I have the responsibility of supervising King Heng, and now that King Heng is gone, His Majesty will definitely take this official to the knife. ”
Qi Lu said: "What the lord said is certainly reasonable, but according to the small thought, if King Heng is really taken away by the imperial concubine, I am afraid that she may not be at the behest of His Majesty." ”
Meng Lianggu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You mean, the imperial concubine is good at making claims?" Suddenly, he patted his head and said, "Yes, now that I think about it, the imperial concubine said that she was ordered to see King Heng, and it was really strange, what did His Majesty the Emperor have to send a deep palace woman to inquire?" And ......" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration, "Although she holds the golden seal of the imperial concubine, it may not be the imperial concubine Niangniang herself, even if she is real, since she rescued King Heng, she must have something to do with this King Heng, I don't care why she wants to save King Heng now, I must hurry up and report this matter, if she really did not go out of the palace to see King Heng at the behest of His Majesty the Emperor, the responsibility for this matter will not be on me." ”
The plan was established, so he invited the secretary office to draft a concert, transcribed it himself, and then coerced the gentleman.
Liu Yuanzhao had just come back from Fengyi Palace, and he was in a very bad mood, and when he heard Meng Lianggu asking to see him, he was a little unhappy at first, and when he saw the emergency recital he handed in, he was already furious and said: "Let him roll me in!" ”
That Meng Lianggu was waiting outside in fear, listened to the summons of the eunuch, and went in with his clothes full, but his face was already green, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Meng Lianggu, the secretary of Dali Temple, came to ask for sin!" ”
Liu Yuanzhao stared at him with gloomy eyes and said, "As the secretary of Dali Temple, you can't even take care of a prisoner in the heavenly prison, what kind of face do you have to come to see me?" ”
Meng Lianggu's legs trembled: "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty." But the imperial concubine Niangniang said that she came to Dali Temple to visit King Heng at the behest of His Majesty, who knew that she was here to rescue King Heng, and Weichen never thought of it, so she was negligent for a while. ”
Liu Yuanzhao said: "Until now, you still dare to climb the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine has not even stepped out of the gate of Fengyi Palace today, which imperial concubine are you seeing?" ”
Meng Lianggu sighed in his heart, but he immediately said: "That woman does claim to be the imperial concubine, and she is holding the golden seal of the imperial concubine, borrowing a hundred dares from Weichen, and Weichen does not dare to climb the imperial concubine." ”
Liu Yuanzhao saw that his words were conclusive, not like lying, so he instructed Jia Quan: "Send someone to the palace gate to inquire if the imperial concubine has been in and out today, and then ask the painter Xu Qing to paint a portrait of the imperial concubine." ”
Jia Quan ordered the outside, and the eunuch Xiao Guizi took the order to invite Xu Qing to Fengyi Palace.
Cui'er heard about Xiao Guizi's intention, so she complained: "It's good to paint a portrait of our mother, our mother confessed yesterday that we won't see outsiders for two months, so as not to cause a bloody disaster." If I go to invite, who can afford to have a good mother in the future? Unless you give a reason today, I won't ask for it. ”
Xiao Guizi begged: "My sister, it's not what I want, it's Your Majesty's message, you still quickly invite Niangniang to come out and paint a portrait, and Your Majesty will blame you if it's late." It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's really a difficult time for Your Majesty to do, and it's a disaster to talk too much. ”
Cui'er pouted and said: "Don't come to this set, you have to coax those who don't know anything about these official words, aunt and grandmother, I have fiery eyes, I don't understand anything, you are watching people talk, you dislike our Fengyi Palace Temple is small, it's not worth listening to your news." ”
Xiao Guizi immediately smiled and said: "What did my sister say, if your Fengyi Palace is a small temple, then there will be no big temple in the palace." He quietly bit Cui'er's ear for a while.
Cui'er went in and invited the jewel, but she learned all the words of Xiao Guizi with the jewel.
Orb nodded, stepped out, and let the painter paint the image.
In the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, the people sent back and forth have not seen the imperial concubines enter and exit the palace gates these days, and they have not even left the doors of Fengyi Palace.
Meng Lianggu, who was kneeling on the ground, also beat a drum in his heart: It seems that the woman holding the golden seal of the imperial concubine is not the imperial concubine herself. In this way, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape this guilt, and when I think of this, I suddenly feel that the future is bleak, and my heart is gloomy.
When the portrait of Baozhu was delivered, Liu Yuanzhao asked Meng Lianggu to look at it, Meng Lianggu was taken aback, pointed to the portrait and said, "It is the imperial concubine Niangniang I saw today." ”
Liu Yuanzhao smiled coldly: "It seems that the imperial concubine has the art of doppelganger, one body is in the palace, and the other body runs to your Dali Temple to wander." Meng Aiqing, are you a three-year-old child? ”
Meng Lianggu realized that he had said something stupid, and hurriedly buckled his head.
Liu Yuanzhao was furious: "I see that you have been an official for nothing all these years, and you have neglected your duties, and you even tried in vain to accuse the imperial concubine, and someone came to take off the black veil from Meng Lianggu's head and put him in prison!" ”
When Meng Lianggu heard this, he suddenly spread on the ground, reacted and hurriedly shouted that he was wronged: "Your Majesty, Weichen is wronged!" The one Weichen saw was indeed the imperial concubine, and Weichen didn't lie! ”
However, outside the palace, the Imperial Forest Army had already entered the palace at this time, took off the black veil on his head, and dragged him out.
Liu Yuanzhao sat on it but was silent for a long time, and after a while, he asked Jia Quan, who was standing next to him, "What do you think about this matter?" ”
Jia Quan said: "Slaves and maids don't dare to discuss. ”
Liu Yuanzhao said: "It's okay, I asked you to say it." ”
Jia Quan actually didn't want to express his opinion on this matter, he had been an errand boy by the emperor's side for many years, and he had been cautious in his words and deeds, but since the Holy Lord had ordered it, he had to say carefully: "It is inevitable that the officials will make mistakes and shirk their responsibilities, but the excuse that Lord Meng made this time is really too much." ”
Liu Yuanzhao listened, but he was silent for a long time, and he didn't say anything else.
And said that Zhao Mengniang took King Heng in a carriage all the way out of the city, King Heng had woken up in the middle of the road, he just opened his eyes and was a little confused, and for a moment he seemed to think of something and looked around, but did not find the person he was looking for, so he turned his eyes to Zhao Mengniang.
Zhao Mengniang said: "Your Royal Highness King Heng, don't blame, because I know that you are unwilling to run away no matter what, so you made this decision, which is really a last resort." ”
King Heng's dark eyes flashed brightly, and he said in a low voice, "What about her? ”
Zhao Mengniang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and said, "Is King Heng talking about the eldest princess?" ”
Hearing this, King Heng looked excited: "She really didn't die. "I thought what I heard in the prison was just a dream, but it turned out to be true. For a moment, my heart swelled with infinite joy.
