Queen Jingzhuang went to bed early last night, so she woke up just after the ugly hour today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After helping Queen Jingzhuang finish freshening up, Liu Ying brought her a health soup and said, "You have been often dizzy and headache recently, and the slave maid asked the kitchen to add some gastrodia and walnuts to the soup." ”

"You're careful." Empress Jingzhuang approvingly, then picked up the spoon and prepared to drink the soup.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside.

Empress Jingzhuang hurriedly raised her eyes and looked out.

A palace maid hurriedly came in from outside with a skirt and reported to Empress Jingzhuang: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has arrested all the palace maids around Zhang Zhaoyi. ”

Empress Jingzhuang was shocked, hurriedly put down the spoon, and asked the palace maid, "Do you know what happened?" ”

"The slave doesn't know."

"Where did Your Majesty take them?"

"Shokatain."

Empress Jingzhuang waved her hand to pull back and drink the soup again.

After half a bowl of soup, Queen Jingzhuang said to Liu Ying: "You go and find out." ”

"Yes."

As soon as Liu Ying left here, the prince arrived.

Empress Jingzhuang hurriedly pulled the prince and said, "I just heard that Your Majesty has taken away the palace maids around Zhang Zhaoyi, do you know about this?" ”

The prince said: "I didn't expect the queen mother to be so well-informed. Erchen also knew about it just now. ”

"Do you know why Your Majesty wants to arrest them?" Empress Jingzhuang asked again.

The prince shook his head.

Empress Jingzhuang looked at the prince and asked, "Why did you come to the palace so early today?" ”

"I heard about that, so Erchen hurried to take a look."

Empress Jingzhuang asked the palace maids to step back and said to the prince: "Liang'er, do you feel that something is wrong with Zhang Zhaoyi?" ”

The crown prince nodded and said, "Since Your Majesty has paid attention to it, things should not be out of control." ”

"Would you like to go to His Majesty's side?"

The prince thought for a moment and shook his head.

Empress Jingzhuang sighed and said, "It's okay." ”

Seeing that Queen Jingzhuang was safe, the prince took his leave.

It was almost time for the court, and the prince walked towards the Taihe Hall with a flying stride.

Over there, after learning the news that the emperor had arrested all the palace maids, Zhang Zhaoyi went to find Du's father-in-law.

Duke Du is a father-in-law who is very valued by the emperor's side, and now Father-in-law Zhang is accompanying the emperor to the early court, so there are only Duke Du and two palace maids in the palace of raising the heart.

Zhang Zhaoyi asked Du's father-in-law about the situation.

Du Gonggong smiled and said: "The specific reason is not known, so Zhaoyi might as well ask His Majesty directly." ”

After speaking, Du's father-in-law turned around and went to other things.

Zhang Zhaoyi panicked inexplicably.

Now that even Shen Hun has been arrested, she really doesn't even have anyone to talk to.

But this matter is not trivial, and she has to pay attention to it.

Could it be that the emperor noticed the matter between her and Guo Mao? This possibility is very high at the moment. Then, she must inform Guo Mao of this news now, so that he can help with ideas and protect her.

Zhang Zhaoyi immediately sent someone to report to Guo Mao.

At this time, Guo Mao was in the court, so he was in the palace. The people sent by Zhang Zhaoyi hid behind a stone lion not far from the Taihe Hall and waited.

When Guo Mao passed by the stone lion in the morning, the man immediately quickly stuffed the note written by Zhang Zhaoyi to him, and then ran away.

Guo Mao found a no-man's land and looked at the note, and was stunned.

Who revealed this news to the emperor? How much does the emperor know?

Thinking that this matter was not trivial, Guo Mao hurriedly asked people to report to Ling Wang Zhao Teng.

Then, Guo Mao went to the emperor.

After the emperor finished the morning, he called the cabinet chief assistant Yun Yiting and went to Shangfang Yuan together.

After learning the news, Guo Mao also immediately went to Shangfang Courtyard.

When the emperor arrived, Zhang Zhaoyi was already waiting at the gate of Shangfang Courtyard. Just four days after giving birth, and experiencing the pain of losing a child, Zhang Zhaoyi looked very weak and haggard at this time.

The emperor didn't look at her, so he went to the interrogation room.

Zhang Zhaoyi immediately stepped forward and grabbed the emperor's arm and asked, "Your Majesty, what did they do to be arrested?" ”

The emperor slowly pulled her hand away and said, "If you want to know, let's listen to what they have to say." ”

Zhang Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The concubines can guarantee that they will not do anything to defy the royal law." ”

The emperor sneered, did not answer, and continued to walk towards the interrogation room.

Zhang Zhaoyi also followed closely.

Not far behind Zhang Zhaoyi, Guo Mao was hurrying over here.

His mood at this time was quite complicated.

What if one or two of those palace maids suddenly exposed him? He was not sure about that.

But there is also a possibility - they are afraid to expose him because of his presence.

Guo Mao didn't give himself too much time to dwell, and strode towards the direction of the interrogation room.

But he didn't get the emperor's permission before, so he couldn't rush in, so he had to send someone in to report first.

The emperor closed his eyes and pondered for about half an hour before he said, "Let him come in." ”

Guo Mao hurriedly followed the messenger into the interrogation room.

"Weichen heard that His Majesty was going to interrogate a few palace maids, so he came to take a look." Guo Mao said respectfully towards the emperor.

The emperor stared at Guo Mao for a while, and said lightly: "Guo Aiqing, sit down." ”

Guo Mao then sat down, and then glanced at Zhang Zhaoyi.

Zhang Zhaoyi noticed it and looked at her. As soon as the eyes of the two made contact, they both knew that the life and death of the two of them were in the hands of these palace maids.

Since this is the case, it is useless to be afraid now, so both of them suddenly have the courage to let go.

These palace maids really denied that they had been instructed by others.

The emperor ordered them to be tortured.

The scene of torture was horrific.

But they still won't admit it.

The emperor also ordered that the punishment be increased.

Shen Hu, who had already broken two fingers, couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we really don't know anything, if there is such a person around Zhaoyi, it is estimated that it is Qiu Rong." ”

Several other palace ladies also agreed.

The emperor sneered: "I am not so easy to deceive. So let the torturers continue to torture them.

Guo Mao was not too panicked before, but after seeing this situation, he became more and more panicked.

No matter how strong the girls are, after all, their skin and flesh are thinner than men's, can they withstand such torture?

Would they sacrifice their lives to keep that secret?

Between life and that fact, I'm afraid most people will choose to tell the truth, right?

The more Guo Mao thought about it, the more worried he became, but could he stop it if he stepped forward at this time? I'm afraid it won't work.

Guo Mao looked at Zhang Zhaoyi.

At this time, Zhang Zhaoyi was staring at the ground, as if she was pondering something.

Suddenly, Guo Mao had a plan and hurriedly said to the emperor: "Weichen will come back to the official room." ”

People have three urgencies, and this kind of thing is certainly understandable. The emperor's jaw head.

Guo Mao immediately got up and left the interrogation room.

Not long after, Guo Mao returned to the interrogation room.
