Chapter Seventy-Four: The Empress's Wrath
A piece of information from Shangyong Taihe Mountain made the empress who was drinking medicine unable to help but squirt out - the subordinates of King Qin neglected their duties, causing the coffin of Liangyi to fall from the cliff, killing seven descendants of servants, and one person was seriously injured and unconscious. In order to shirk responsibility, Gong Yi let the snow mastiff bite the general Xue Cheng to death.
The empress's narrow phoenix eyes were cold, and her gaze was fixed on the words "Liangyi coffin fell from the cliff and killed the descendants of seven servants", followed by a fury behind the heavy slam on the table.
"Come on, prepare a royal ride for me, I will go to Shangyong in person!"
Ah Zi was injured, she was recuperating for the past two days, and served in the emperor's dormitory, but the empress was used to the person who had been with her for so many years was Ah Zi, and she didn't move the corner of her eye to see the person next to her clearly, and blurted out with a wave of her big hand, "Ah Zi, go to the temple to ask the high priest, and let her go to Shangyong with me." ”
The person standing next to him is the palace maid who temporarily replaced Ah Zi, whose name is Flower Resin.
After hearing this, Hua Rouge was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Aunt Ah Zi is injured and is still recuperating. ”
The empress was stunned, as if she had just remembered the incident that she had come back from the funeral palace a few days ago, and then she looked down and waved her hand, "Since Ah Zi is not here, then you will go on her behalf." ”
Not long after the resin retreated, Gong E hurriedly came from outside, "Your Majesty, Xi Wenjun asks to see." ”
The Empress narrowed her eyes, "What is he here for?" ”
Gong E shook her head tremblingly, indicating that she didn't know.
The empress sat back in front of the imperial case and said in a deep voice: "Announce him in!" ”
Gong E promised to go out, and not long after, Xi Wenjun, who was dressed in a dark red lotus-patterned brocade robe, slowly walked into the emperor's bedroom with a small bowl of ice cracks in his hand, and the soup in the bowl was smooth in color and fragrant.
The empress didn't raise her head, "What is Xi Wenjun looking for me?" ”
"Your Majesty, this is the health soup that the minister personally boiled for you." Xi Wenjun stepped forward, his face was warm, and he gently presented the small bowl in front of the imperial case.
The empress glanced at it casually, her eyebrows frowning slightly.
Seeing this, Xi Wenjun knew that the empress was worried that he would be poisoned, so he hurriedly said: "The minister can try the soup for His Majesty." ”
"Not necessarily!" The Empress interrupted him with a cold face, "I don't like to beat around the bush. ”
His face froze, Xi Wenjun pondered for a moment before kneeling heavily on the ground, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is unwell, it is not appropriate to move to Shangyong." ”
"You've been heard pretty quickly." The empress squinted at him, "But ...... No one has ever dared to refute what I decided, and those who have the courage have probably been reincarnated. ”
Xi Wenjun's body shook, a thin layer of sweat appeared in the palm of his hand hidden in the brocade sleeve, and he pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "The minister dares to follow His Majesty." ”
"Oh?" The empress was quite surprised, "You also want to go to Shangyong?" ”
"The minister just wants to serve with him."
The empress lowered her eyes and looked at Xi Wenjun who was kneeling on the ground, she couldn't remember what year and day she let this beautiful man enter the palace, and she couldn't remember whether he was willing when he entered the palace.
A large part of the male concubines of Changle Palace were drafted by the ceremonial officials after the empress ascended the throne, and she didn't often go to the harem, so there were many male concubines who had never seen her.
Through Xi Wenjun, the empress seemed to see the situation of her youth, and saw a memory that she never forgot every day, but gradually forgot in her obsession.
Tilting her head slightly, no one saw how much courage it took for the empress at this moment to force back the crystal tears in her eyes that did not belong to the emperor.
Instantly calm, the empress turned her head sideways, "Since you have this heart, I will allow it." ”
Xi Wenjun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and quickly returned to the palace to pack his things after bowing his head and thanking him.
After Xi Wenjun left, Yu Yi also came, and his purpose was very straightforward.
"This matter is related to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and the minister cannot stand idly by."
For Yuyi, who dares to tell the truth, the empress has always been very tolerant, and she agreed without saying a word.
The high priest Yutai suddenly fell ill a few days ago, and the illness was so sudden and bizarre that even the imperial physician could not see the reason, although he recovered a little in the past two days, his complexion was still not very good, and he was very pale. When she followed Hua Resin to the emperor's bedroom, the empress was startled by her.
"What disease is this high priest suffering from?"
"Back to Your Majesty, it is probably because the long-term practice has consumed the source, and the minister is guilty, and he is worried about his majesty." ”
"Then you ......," the empress hesitated, "but can you still be mediocre?" ”
Yutai pulled his lips slightly, "Chong'an Guijun's hanging coffin fell to the bottom of the lake and killed seven servants, although the minister has not personally participated in this matter, but he will never allow things that damage the prestige of the heavenly family to happen under his nose, even if he kneels, the minister should go." ”
He first plucked himself out of this matter, and then faintly pointed out that the person in charge of the hanging coffin had committed an unforgivable sin, but he did not name him.
She has always understood the empress's trust in King Qin, and if she blindly provokes, it will only make the empress disgusted and then angry.
This is tepid, and if you don't add oil and vinegar, it will cause the empress to think deeply.
Sure enough, the empress's already cold complexion added to the frost after hearing this.
The hanging coffin fell from a high altitude and killed seven rare servants, which was a sensational event in the court, and after the old ministers whispered to each other, no one dared to stand up against the empress leaving the palace, and the matter was decided.
Xi Wenjun and Yu Yi each rode a horse to the left and right of the royal car, and the high priest sat in the carriage because of his illness, and there were thousands of Luan Yiwei guards on both sides.
In this way, the imperial honor guard swept out of the city and headed towards Shangyong County under the congratulations of the hundred officials.

Yesterday, the coffin of Liangyi fell from a high cliff, and the seven people who were stoned to death have been buried, only Ah Gui was seriously injured, and he was still unconscious in the guest room of Taofu at this time.
According to his account, when he got into the woods, he saw that the snow mastiff had bitten Xue Cheng on the ground, and the two major arteries in his calf and neck were bleeding nonstop, and he finally died after rescue efforts.
Xun Jiu personally went to see it, Xue Cheng's calf and neck injuries were indeed bitten by beasts, but she couldn't be sure whether it was a demon spirit, because the demon spirit was missing, whether it was killed by Vice General Li or really disappeared by herself, it is not known now.
At this time, in front of the gate of Taofu, Vice General Li was kneeling in front of Xue Cheng's corpse with nearly a hundred black-armored soldiers with white cloth and hemp ropes on their heads, and the group was angry and stern, and asked King Qin to come forward and give justice, otherwise he would not be able to kneel for a long time.
Overnight, this incident was known to the entire Shangyong County, and everyone in the Tao clan was shocked.
Tao Yaoyao didn't expect such an unexpected thing to happen at all, so anxious that she didn't sleep all night, and even her second uncle Tao Junshou rushed over overnight.
But Fu Sheng had already ordered that no one should be seen, and the mallow garden was heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to enter.
Tao Yaoyao went a few times and couldn't see Fusheng.
Yesterday, Jiaoyi and Gongyi stayed at the back to salvage the coffin of Liangyi and eight servants, and after they came back, they were passed into the mallow garden by Fusheng and never came out.
Tao Yaoyao is about to go crazy, she knows very well the severity of this matter, if she doesn't deal with it properly, it will affect the entire Shangyong Tao family.
In desperation, she went to the West Garden guest room to find Xun Jiu.
Without waiting for Xun Jiu to speak, Tao Yaoyao hurriedly said: "I can see that you are a woman, and you are of great significance to King Qin, can you do me a favor and go to the Mallow Garden to find out the situation?" This matter can't be left unhandled, he is a dignified prince, such a big thing has happened, you can't hide the palace lord and the horn lord in front of everyone, right and wrong, everyone needs an explanation. ”
Xun Jiu felt quite a headache about being seen through by others in disguised as a man.
She also had a general understanding of the hanging coffin incident, and when she heard Tao Yaoyao invite her to go to the Mallow Garden to persuade Fu Sheng, she quickly shook her head, "It's not appropriate!" ”
Tao Yaoyao's eyebrows frowned, "Why?" ”
Xun Jiu chuckled, "Obviously, King Qin is waiting for an opportunity. ”
Tao Yaoyao was even more puzzled, "What chance?" ”
Xun Jiu replied: "An opportunity for him to open the gate of the Mallow Garden and walk out openly." ”
