Chapter 9 Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
When Lu Yao saw this, his face was like a flower, but he was already feeling cold in his heart.
Isn't it terrible that the queen actually gave her so many things for no reason, or such a huge value? Who knows what kind of mind the queen has?
Although Lu Yao didn't know how much the queen's net worth was, she estimated that it should be around one million taels, not too much. After all, as a queen, the expenses are still very high. These things have already used a quarter of the queen's net worth, how incredible is this?
Lu Yao felt even more suspicious about this matter.
When Lu Yao was about to postpone it, a palace maid suddenly came in from outside the palace and said: "Queen Qiyu, outside the Kunning Palace, Concubine Shun asks to see you." β
Lu Yao frowned, why did his mother concubine come, didn't he tell her to stay in her palace for the past few days and not go out? Why did you come to the Queen's Palace in a hurry?
Lu Yao didn't make a sound, and the queen mother really didn't smile at all and said, "Concubine Shun came just in time, you go outside the palace and invite in." β
The maid took the order. After a while, Concubine Shun came, looking panicked, still wearing a new purple palace dress, although beautiful, but Lu Yao still saw that this was the clothes that Concubine Shun was wearing when Lu Yao went out in the morning, and if Concubine Shun came to the queen for something, she would definitely change her clothes.
is still wearing this dress, it can be seen that the matter is urgent, she has no time to change clothes, what is the matter?
Concubine Shun looked flustered and sad, but as soon as she entered the palace gate, she saw Lu Yao sitting there dignified, and several palace maids next to her were holding plates in their hands, and a pair of things were placed in them, especially those treasures flashing brightly, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
didn't care about saluting the queen's mother, so he walked in front of his daughter first, looked at it carefully, and saw that his daughter looked calm and relaxed, and suddenly put her mind at ease.
The queen smiled and said, "Concubine Shun, what are you looking for in this palace?" β
Concubine Shun reacted at this time, she hurriedly knelt down to salute the queen's mother, and after the salute, she frowned and said: "Niangniang, the concubine just thought that she hadn't asked her mother for a few days, and she was worried about it, so she made a special trip to ask for peace for her mother." β
This is a lie, and anyone can see it. Lu Yao's brows furrowed even more.
The queen mother still smiled and said, "Concubine Shun has a heart." Hongu is good. However, you came at the right time, and this palace has rewarded Rongqing with something, you can come and see. β
After speaking, the queen called the four palace maids over, and took the trouble to introduce these four things to Concubine Shun one by one.
Concubine Shun was very surprised, why did the queen give so many good things, which were of great value, which was unheard of.
Then Concubine Shun became happy, these things are all good things, not to mention those precious rouge gouaches, which were originally Concubine Shun's heart, that is, the gorgeous clothes, dazzling jewelry, are rare things.
Seeing that her daughter is growing up, she will get married in two years, although her previous marriage with the Ling family did not come to fruition. However, the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, and she will always find a good husband in the future, and Concubine Shun has already begun to plan for a dowry little by little.
It's a pity that Concubine Shun's mother's family is ordinary, she can't help Concubine Shun, and Concubine Shun herself is not very favored, there are really not too many good things, with these rewards from the queen's mother, but it can greatly enrich her daughter's makeup.
Not to mention, there are also those rare shops pΓΉ and granges. These are different from gold, silver and jewelry, these are cash cows, and they can make money every month, so that their daughter's hands will not be tight.
In fact, since her daughter's participation in national politics, more and more people have befriended her daughter. The emperor has rewarded a lot, and Concubine Shun is getting richer and richer now, but no matter how much money there is, it will not be too much.
Originally, Concubine Shun was frightened, afraid that her daughter would be bullied by the queen. Now that I see it, not only is my daughter safe and sound, but the queen has also rewarded her with so many things, which is really unexpected.
So Concubine Shun was very happy, chatted with the queen for a few words, and complimented the queen.
The queen seems to be talking about sex very strongly, and she is very happy to talk to Concubine Shun.
The doubts in Lu Yao's heart on the side are getting bigger and bigger, the queen's appearance is really too suspicious, and the appearance of Concubine Shun just now is really too uneasy for Lu Yao. Lu Yao saw that the queen mother talked so much, and he didn't know what was wrong, and a sentence suddenly appeared in his heart, which was delaying time.
Thinking about it like this, Lu Yao couldn't sit still, so it seemed that the queen mother must have some plans. Lu Yao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "Queen Qiyu, Yao'er suddenly remembered that my father asked Yao'er to go to the Ministry of Industry to find a few officials from the Ministry of Industry to talk about the canal, and it was almost delayed. The retainers are about to retire. β
After speaking, Lu Yao gave Concubine Shun a look, although Concubine Shun was a little confused, but she was not stupid, after all, she had lived in the palace for many years, and when she saw her daughter's eyes, she understood, and hurriedly said: "The concubine is not good to delay the queen's mother, and the concubine has also retired." β
The queen frowned and said, "Our mother is happy, but Rongqing has something to do, so you can go." After two days, I have free time, so I will come to the main palace to walk around more. β
Concubine Shun and Lu Yao hurriedly came down and bowed and retired.
Out of the gate of Kunning Palace, Lu Yao hurriedly asked Concubine Shun: "Mother, why did you come here to the queen's mother?" When I saw you come in, I looked panicked, but what happened? β
Concubine Shun hurriedly said, "I was watching your brother study in the palace. Suddenly, a palace maid came and said that the queen had called you over. Because of the last time I divorced the Ling family, the queen mother got angry and called you over to blame. You actually collided with the queen, and the queen wanted to move the rules of the family. As soon as I heard this, I immediately panicked, and I rushed over without having time to change my clothes. β
"Who knows, you're chatting with the Queen Mother. The queen has also rewarded you with so many good things. Especially those fields and shops, but they are all good things, so that we can have more money on hand, and in the future, when you get married, the dowry will be richer. β
When Concubine Shun spoke, the look on her face was very happy, but Lu Yao asked tightly: "It's not good, the mother concubine is here, what about the younger brother?" β
Concubine Shun said: "Your brother is in the palace well, I specially instructed him not to leave the palace." β
As they spoke, they walked towards the Phi Xiang Temple. At this time, suddenly a person ran out of the roadside, startled them, and looked at it, it turned out to be Concubine Shun's personal palace maid, she said in a panic: "Niangniang, princess, no, the little prince was taken away by a few chamberlains, they are all violent people, we can't stop it." The slave maid had already come and wanted to report to the mother, but the mother had always been in the queen's palace, and the people in the queen's palace would not let me in. β
Concubine Shun's face suddenly turned pale, and Lu Yao said coldly: "We have fallen for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." Mother, we have to be calm, we will go our separate ways, and I will take people to the violent room. With my authority, I can probably suppress them one or two, so that they don't dare to do anything to Yuan'er. Mother, you hurry up and take someone to Shui Yirong, even if you break in, you also want to see your father, and ask your father to save your son. My father will not blame him. The father can have high hopes for his distant son. β
Concubine Shun was already panicked, and after listening to her daughter's arrangement at the moment, she hurriedly took people away. Lu Yao took the guards and went directly to the riot room.
When he arrived at the riot room, he was really stopped by those eunuchs, Lu Yao didn't talk to them, and directly ordered the guards to rush inside, it doesn't matter if he kills people for this, whoever dares to stop it will be killed.
With such an order, the guards around her were originally first-class good hands, and the swords on their bodies were the best swords in the entire empire, sharpening iron like clay, and they were naturally like tigers entering the flock of sheep to deal with those eunuchs in the violent room, and in a few rounds, they killed a bloody way.
The violent room of the palace is the bloodiest place, and these eunuchs are all masters of torture, but they are only cruel to the prisoners, and they generally deal with palace maids and eunuchs. Where have you ever seen someone slaughtering them like this? They are all showing off their martial arts in the palace on weekdays, and no one dares to provoke the master, but after being killed a few people at this moment, they were suddenly frightened and fled in all directions.
Several guards protected Lu Yao until he reached the innermost part of the storm room, which was a small courtyard in all directions, and as soon as he entered the small courtyard, he saw that in the middle of the courtyard, on a stone bench, Lu Yuan's small body was tied to the stone bench by some large iron chains.
When Lu Yao saw it, he was immediately furious, and shouted angrily: "You are so bold, don't you want to die?" How can you tie up the prince like this? Don't let go quickly, in a while, the emperor is coming, do you want to be exterminated by the Nine Clans? β
At this time, some samurai wearing armor suddenly rushed out of the room, all of them were holding swords, and one of the leaders said with a sinister smile: "Princess, it is indeed terrible to destroy the nine clans, but we just don't have the nine clans, and the whole family is not hungry if one person eats enough." β
Lu Yao glared, at this time, a guard beside Lu Yao whispered to Lu Yao: "Princess, these people are not from the palace, these people seem to be the dead soldiers of the Ling family, there are many of them, I am afraid that a few of us will not be able to withstand it, it is better for us to escort the princess to break out, and then think about the little prince." β
Lu Yao was hesitating, looking at her younger brother who was tied, her heart was like a knife, I don't know when, she had already regarded this younger brother as her own brother, at this time, Lu Yuan was not panicked at all, but smiled at Lu Yao with a small face and said, "Sister don't worry about me." Sister, go quickly. β
Lu Yao's heart was even more severe, and at this time, the guard said, "Princess, make a decision, or we won't be able to leave after a while." β
At this time, the leader said suspiciously: "You don't need to go, you can't go, you see." β
After speaking, on the wall of the entire courtyard and on the roof of the house, some archers with strong crossbows suddenly appeared, all the bows and arrows, crossbows were aimed at Lu Yao and the others in the courtyard, and Lu Yao's face turned black.
