Chapter 163: Incident (3)
"Why can't eunuchs ......?"
Mo Ziyuan seemed to be smiling, looking at Xu Zigui, his expression was slight, and he wanted to say more, but Xu Zigui covered his mouth
Xu Zigui saw Mo Ziyuan's indecent expression and knew that there would be nothing good to say, so he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and flattened his mouth: "It's so indecent all day"
Mo Ziyuan was proud of his smile: "If you are not serious, you are only not serious."
was teased by Mo Ziyuan with a red face, Xu Zigui glared at Mo Ziyuan with disgust: "Why don't you go back and gather the guards to prepare for the night escort"
"With the help of Siyi, I am also happy and relaxed"
After speaking, Mo Ziyuan looked at Xu Zigui with a smile, waiting for Xu Zigui to pounce on him to protect him
"My brother is out too?"
Sure enough, Xu Zigui was so excited that he forgot his form a little proudly, and rushed forward to save Mo Ziyuan, and kept asking excitedly: "Is it true?" Is it true? β
Mo Ziyuan hugged Xu Zigui and said many "yes" with a smile, Xu Zigui let go of Mo Ziyuan, looked at Mo Ziyuan with bright eyes and asked
"What about my mother? Have they been released too? β
Mo Ziyuan shook his head and frowned slightly: "Still in the prison"
"Oh......"
Xu Zigui nodded depressedly, and Mo Ziyuan rubbed Xu Zigui's head, which was considered comforting. Xu Zigui raised his head and smiled at Mo Ziyuan, "It's okay, they will always come out left and right, and now there is only a prison in the capital...... Does the emperor plan to deal with the four princes this time? β
Although Mo Qingyuan didn't do anything excessive, which emperor was not afraid to stare at his position all day long, even if he didn't deal with him this time, he would vigorously suppress Mo Qingyuan
Who knows, Mo Ziyuan shook his head with a dark face: "The wedding of the fourth eldest is coming." Zheng Guogong and the right minister are not willing to offend the emperor, if the fourth child is suppressed at this time, maybe Zheng Guogong and the right minister will think that the emperor has an opinion on the two of them."
Xu Zigui nodded, feeling that it was a pity that the great opportunity to suppress Mo Qingyuan was wasted like this.
Although Mo Qingyuan was reluctant to marry Zheng Guogong's family at the beginning, he tried his best to marry Shao Qingyuan to someone else after the dust settled on his marriage with Zheng Jiaying. In the end, they were all destroyed by the Queen Mother's decree. The two marriages were reluctant but were destroyed by the Queen Mother's decree, how could Mo Qingyuan not hate the Queen Mother.
Only this is now, Xu Zigui estimates that Mo Qingyuan will definitely be grateful to the Queen Mother. If it weren't for the two marriages given to him by the Queen Mother, it is estimated that the immortals would not be able to protect Mo Qingyuan at this time.
This time, the emperor estimated that Zheng Guogong and the right minister would not suppress Mo Qingyuan, but he was always afraid of Mo Qingyuan in his heart, but the emperor's jealousy did not affect Mo Qingyuan
saw Xu Zigui's loss. Mo Ziyuan rubbed Xu Zigui's head and comforted
"There is still a chance to set him up in the future, and I am not in a hurry to do this"
After speaking. looked at the sky outside again and said: "My father and the emperor even canceled today's morning dynasty in order to force the second child to make a move, and I should go back to the house to prepare to cooperate."
Mo Wenyuan wanted to force the palace to ascend to the throne, so he naturally wanted to do everything he could to get rid of his biggest threat, otherwise the name of the throne he ascended would not be justified. How to win the hearts of the courtiers?
Although Mo Ziyuan has been placed under house arrest by the emperor, he has not yet abolished the crown prince, and Mo Ziyuan is still the rightful prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Once the mountain collapsed. It is also the most justifiable when the crown prince ascends the throne, and Mo Ziyuan's power still exists. Although some have changed directions, most of them still support Mo Ziyuan.
How could Mo Wenyuan let such a big threat exist? It is inevitable that Mo Ziyuan will be quietly eliminated before forcing the palace, so that he can be regarded as pulling out the thorn in his heart.
"If you are careful," Xu Zigui sent Mo Ziyuan to the door, and looked around, "Go back quickly, there will be more people in a while, and people should find out"
"Hmm" Mo Ziyuan nodded, hugged Xu Zigui and said, "Wait for me." Then he disappeared without a trace
Mo Ziyuan left from Zhengyuan Temple, and went back to the Prince's Mansion directly, and as soon as he was ready, he waited for Mo Wenyuan's people in his mansion to attack him.
The emperor took advantage of this incident to ask him to investigate Mo Wenyuan carefully. These days, the people he sent out brought back the news and the memories of the previous life, Mo Ziyuan sorted out all the culpabilities of Mo Wenyuan, wrote them into the memora, and waited for the morning dynasty tomorrow.
At this time, Xu Ziyu also ordered a large number of imperial guards to hide in the upper and lower corners of the palace early, and he followed the emperor's secret guards, hiding beside the emperor, ready to stand by at any time.
And Wei Yuanhou was preparing in the inn outside the city at this time, just waiting for Ming'er to escort Feng Chenqing and the soldiers from Beijing with Gu Cheng early in the morning.
The outside of the palace is well prepared and orderly. In the harem, it is becoming more and more chaotic.
On the morning of Mo Ziyuan's accident, the emperor still had an early dynasty from Fengqi Palace with a smile. In just one early dynasty, the emperor ordered the queen to be grounded, and the five princes and seven princes born by the queen were grounded in disguise.
Since the accident, the queen, who doesn't know the truth, has been washing her face with tears every day, and she can't stop comforting Jinxi and a few people.
The queen didn't believe that Mo Ziyuan would do such a foolish thing, she had something to explain to the emperor, but the emperor had never set foot in Fengqi Palace since the accident.
There are many people in the palace who are high and low, and those slave palace maids saw that the queen was lost, and they dragged their relationship a little and went to the rightful favored Niangniang Palace, and some of them had to continue to stay in Fengqi Palace and endure the cynicism of others.
The queen took the silver and entrusted them to send news to the emperor, but those who stayed in Fengqi Palace and couldn't get out, resented the queen for dragging them down, and naturally disobeyed the queen's orders, and took the queen's silver but didn't do anything for the queen.
Now it is difficult for the queen to even see the emperor, let alone want to intercede for Mo Ziyuan.
"Niangniang, don't cry, the prince and the fifth master and the seventh master have to rely on the mother, what happened to the mother's body when she cried?"
"Yes, Niangniang, the emperor is seriously ill......"
"Jinxiang!"
Several people were persuading the queen mother, but Jin Xiang almost missed her mouth.
Jin Xi scolded Jin Xiang in time, but he was still listened to by the queen. The queen hurriedly wiped the tears from her face and asked
"What do you say? What emperor is seriously ill? β
"It's nothing ......" Jin Xiang lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at the queen again
The queen slapped the table, there were still residual tears on her face, and said angrily: "What? Don't you even listen to this palace? β
"Niangniang forgiveness" Seeing that the queen was angry, Jinxiang and Jinxi hurriedly knelt down, "The slaves and maids don't mean this"
"If that's not what you mean, then tell the palace everything that has happened in the past few days!"
Jinxiang, Jinxi, and Qingyun glanced at each other. There was hesitation in his eyes. The three princes of the queen have had accidents, and even Xu Kong, Gu Wei, who is quite relied on by the prince, have all been imprisoned, these are a big blow to the grounded queen, so the queen has been in tears every day, if you let the queen know that the emperor is now sick and even the early dynasty has been canceled, I really don't know if the queen can survive.
Although the emperor grounded the queen, he did not abolish the queen. Although it doesn't matter who ascends to the throne. The queens are all the queen mothers and queen mothers. But after all, the emperor did not abolish the crown prince, and there are two younger brothers under the crown prince, who are all characters that the new emperor should fear. Even if the new emperor will not do anything to her in the future for the sake of filial piety. But she will not let go of her three sons. If it was someone else, it would be fine, but if the fourth prince ascended the throne, Concubine Shu would not let her go!
Jinxi and the others were afraid that the queen would not be able to withstand such a blow after hearing the news, so they deliberately blocked the news. There was no sue for the queen. But now that Jin Xiang accidentally said something, Jin Xi knew that he couldn't hide it. Sigh. nodded to the other two, and told the queen that the emperor was seriously ill
ββ¦β¦ It has been strictly canceled until this morning's morning court."
"The emperor is seriously ill?" The queen seemed to not believe it, and recited these four words silently several times in her mouth, and suddenly her mind flashed, and something came to mind......
"What has happened in the capital in the past few days?"
Qingyun shook his head. sighed: "What has happened in the capital in the past few days seems to have been deliberately blocked, and I can't even inquire about anything."
In fact, it is not that the news is blocked, but that the people in the harem are high and low. She asked Jinxi and them to inquire about the news, but they were all taken with money, but they didn't do anything. But they didn't dare to tell the queen truthfully these words, for fear of making the queen sad in vain.
But they don't say it. How could the queen not have guessed?
"Where's Le'er? This palace heard that the emperor went to Zhengyuan Temple last time? β
"I've been there," Jin Xiang nodded
"It's true...... "The queen murmured softly. After only a few days in Fengqi Palace, the queen had already described it as withered, and people were thinner than yellow flowers. Now my heart is like ashes
"The emperor went to Zhengyuan Temple but didn't bring Le'er and them back, so it can be seen that he was angry with Le'er because of Yuan'er's affairs...... Knowing this, he shouldn't have held Le'er by his side in the palace in the first place, and it was better than Le'er being trapped in Zhengyuan Temple and having a home to return to...... After all, I hurt this child..."
As he spoke, tears fell down like broken pearls. Jinxiang and the others watched the queen cry and shed tears in distress.
It just so happened that when the master and servant were crying, Mo Ziyuan came in through the window. Seeing that the queen was shedding tears, he hurriedly destroyed the queen and pleaded guilty
"Let the queen mother worry, the son really deserves death"
"Yuan'er!" The queen thought that she was hallucinating, and asked Jinxi to pinch herself to see if it was true.
How dare Jinxi really pinch the queen, she just wiped her tears and said happily: "It's a real mother, it's really Your Highness"
Mo Ziyuan also echoed Jinxi and said: "It's the sons who are not filial."
"Aren't you under house arrest by your father? How did you get out? How are you doing these days? You ......"
In the end, he was speechless. Before I saw it, I had a thousand words to ask, but after seeing it, the queen just wanted to hug Mo Ziyuan, just like Mo Ziyuan did when he was a child, and see if he was okay.
Seeing that the queen was now describing the withered appearance, Mo Ziyuan's eyes were red with self-reproach. In order to make the play realistic, the emperor specially instructed Mo Ziyuan not to sue Queen SΓΉ and others.
That is, the traitors will be wiped out tonight, and the emperor will deliberately be gracious and allow Mo Ziyuan to tell Queen SΓΉ about these things, which can be regarded as a lenient queen's heart.
The queen wanted to pull Mo Ziyuan up, but Mo Ziyuan refused. Mo Ziyuan knelt on the ground and told the queen the truth of everything that had happened in the past few days, except for Xu Zigui and a few people who had run away to the frontier privately, and kowtowed to the queen
"It's all the sons who are not good, so the queen mother is so worried"
"You ......"
Listening to Mo Ziyuan's words, the queen was both happy and angry. Fortunately, there are no dangers, but what is angry is such a big thing, but they hide it from themselves and make themselves so worried. I couldn't say anything in a complicated mood, and it took a while for me to come to my senses and ask carefully about what had happened these days.
In Fengqi Palace, Mo Ziyuan is explaining what has happened in these days one by one, and in the Second Prince's Mansion, Mo Wenyuan is also plotting tonight's strategy with the guards and courtiers who are preparing to force the palace tonight.
It seemed that everyone was busy on this day, and everyone seemed to be waiting for the night to fall.
"Master, the slave maid has inquired, and the second prince has already begun to prepare."
"Starting now?" Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows, looked up at the window, and saw that the sun had not completely gone down, and the sky was still bright, "Why is it so early?" β
"I can't wait," Mo Leyuan sneered, "After tonight, the second brother is the new emperor, how can he not be in a hurry?"
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I don't think the second prince is such a reckless person, besides, ......" Xu Zigui paused, and looked out the window again, "In order to hide people's eyes, most of the forced palaces happen late at night, and now the sun hasn't gone down, the second prince is starting to prepare to enter the palace, don't you think it's strange?" β
"It's very strange...... Yuexi nodded, frowned, and said what she thought in her heart, "The slave guessed that the second prince didn't want to gather the guards and courtiers like Emperor Taizong and wash the Forbidden City in blood like the Xuanwu Gate Change, but wanted to ...... Poisoned"
"Poisoned?"
Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows and understood what Yuexi meant. Mo Wenyuan's imprisonment of the courtiers' families was not to force them to enter the palace, but only to force them to support him in the future.
was reminded by Yuexiyi, Xu Zigui suddenly realized. Mo Wenyuan is not good at force, how could he want to use force to force the palace? Most of them are just thinking about poisoning the emperor and then pretending to be a holy decree. At that time, he is the new emperor, and who dares to question him?
"And what is he going to do with so many guards?" Seeing that Xu Zigui seemed to agree with Yuexi's statement, Mo Leyuan still didn't understand, and grabbed his hair and frowned: "Could it be that it is scaring people?" β
"Stupid" Xu Zigui knocked on Mo Leyuan's head and said with a smile: "Naturally, just in case, in case the emperor didn't poison the emperor, the emperor sent the Imperial Forest Army, if he was alone, how could he have so many enemies of the Royal Forest Army?" β
Mo Leyuan nodded to show that he understood, and then thought of something, and asked, "Then does the father know this?" (To be continued)
