Chapter 128 Entering the Cold Palace
"Your Majesty, after the fire, this person was sneaking outside the palace and wanted to escape from Changle Palace. At that time, the minions rushed to put out the fire, and when they saw that his whereabouts were wrong, they detained him, and sure enough, these things were found from his body. โ
Xiao Zhuozi said, showing the oil cylinder and flint in his hand to Chu Heng and the others. After confirming that it was this eunuch who set the fire, Chu Heng's eyes immediately turned cold.
In the open space outside the Millennium Palace, all the people did not make a sound, only holding their eyes and gurgling, looking at the figure of the eunuch kneeling on the ground.
Jing Shengwu took Xueyue Leng Yu and other slaves and maids, and he didn't bother Chu Heng at this time. After all, she also knew that the current scene was already certain, so she was waiting for Chu Heng's orders. The queen's injuries were a little severe, and her spirit was a little confused, so she hadn't been treated yet. Even the old lady Guan felt a headache when she looked at her condition.
But now, the queen's spirit is much better. Just now in the midst of the fire, she was completely shocked.
"Okay, very good, you actually set fire to the palace like this, and the purpose is still the queen and the eldest princess, hum!" After a long time, the furious Chu Hengfang squeezed out these two sentences between his teeth, and his face was very gloomy. The people around him lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
The emperor was angry, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed all over the city, it was not a joke!
"Your Majesty, if it weren't for the eunuch's warning today, I'm afraid that the concubines would have been buried in the fire now. In the dead of night, the concubines were only afraid of being burned to death in the palace, and no one knew. Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your concubines! โ
Just when Chu Heng wanted to say something, the queen threw herself at his feet and said in tears. The place where the fire broke out in the Millennium Palace was the queen's bedchamber. I think if it weren't for the queen's fast running, I'm afraid that a state funeral would be held now.
But although she escaped from the fire, the queen was also burned by the raging fire to her hair, and even burned a large piece of her right shoulder. When she escaped from the Millennium Palace, she was hit by the charred falling wood.
It's really a wolf bรจi to the extreme.
"Get up, I will not spare this arsonist! Today's business. Even if he loses 10,000 heads, it is insufficient! โ
Chu Heng's face was cold, and he squeezed out these words from between his teeth, and helped the crying queen up. The queen's face was full of tears, and she leaned tightly to Chu Heng's side. Such a weak queen of posture. It was the first time Chu Heng had seen it.
It seems that this life-and-death stake really scared her a lot.
"Father, how can this little eunuch have the courage to set fire to this palace. I'm afraid that someone is behind it! Moreover, the target of the arsonist is still the son, and the one who caught fire is also the side hall of the son. It is the queen nurse who suffers, and the dormitory is connected to the Changle Palace of the sons. โ
Just when everyone was looking at each other, Jing Shengwu suddenly spoke. She was almost killed in the fire today, so her words still had a bit of an effect on Chu Heng. As a bitter master, Chu Heng naturally wanted to soothe her well.
"Oh? Did it burn up from your Changle Palace first? Hearing this, Chu Heng stroked his beard and asked with an uncertain face.
"Father. This person must have taken a fancy to me, and the sandalwood here is easy to burn, and the weather is dry and irritable, so he can burn my main hall. It's just that I didn't expect that it would be the queen's mother, it's really the minister's no! โ
Jing Shengwu touched the bottom with his forehead, knelt down deeply towards Chu Heng, looking at her weak appearance, Chu Heng didn't say much, sighed at the moment, and stepped forward to personally help her up.
After standing still. Jing Shengwu looked at the eunuch leisurely and didn't say much. Just now that she said this, presumably Chu Heng would give her and the queen an explanation on the spot.
"Your Majesty, the old slave seems to have seen this eunuch. Look at the face of this eunuch. Wasn't it the little apprentice who followed Zhang Deshun back then? After Zhang Deshun died, he always followed Zhao Guiren's side, and was later sent to this Changle Palace. At this moment, Li Ya shook off the dust hesitantly, and said very uncertainly.
Hearing this, the eunuch who had been kneeling on the ground and not speaking. At the moment, his body trembled, and he looked at Li Ya in horror. I didn't expect his eyes to be so vicious, and now there is a lot of smoke and dust on his face, which can be recognized by Li Ya!
"Hmph, isn't this Diao slave trying to avenge his master? Thinking that this Diao slave must have been instructed by his master, otherwise, how could a little eunuch have the courage to burn down Changle Palace and Millennium Palace! โ
Hearing this, Leng Yu suddenly said sharply. When Leng Yu said this, although everyone did not speak, the affirmative look in their eyes was self-evident.
If it was the eunuch's own idea, everyone would not believe it. How dare a little eunuch commit this great crime of exterminating the nine clans in the palace? Not to mention the queen mother, but if there is something to happen to this Jing Shengwu, it is enough to put him to death.
What's more, he also burned the Millennium Palace into it, if this is a trouble, I am afraid that the extermination of the nine clans will not be enough to offset the great crime he committed!
Besides, although everyone didn't say it explicitly, the eyes of the eunuch became deeper. This Zhao Guiren was a famous concubine in the palace before, and she has been entrenched in this harem for many years, and she has not fallen behind in the slightest when she fights with the queen.
If it weren't for the fact that Concubine De didn't have anything under her, otherwise, according to her momentum of favor, I am afraid that even the queen might be abolished. Now, such a prominent Concubine De was pulled down by Jing Shengwu and the queen's mother.
According to Concubine De's temperament, how could she let go of Jing Shengwu? Thinking about it, the henchmen in this Zhong Cui Palace were all arrested by Jing Shengwu in the prison, and she died and walked away, and she had no one to use, so she had to use this little eunuch.
"Concubine De, I still want to demote you, raise you in this palace well, and restore your position in the future. Now that you're so vicious, it seems that I can't keep you. โ
Chu Heng thought for a moment, then said with a long sigh. Hearing this, Jing Shengwu and the queen's eyes couldn't help but narrow, and they secretly called luck in their hearts.
Looking at the emperor's meaning, it is obvious that he still has a mind about Concubine De. Therefore, even if she poisoned Jing Shengwu before, the emperor was able to cover it up for her, but it was just because of the demotion and the loss of the title.
If Concubine De can keep to herself and think about it behind closed doors in this palace, I am afraid that when she is grounded, the emperor will take care of the old feelings and spoil her again. At that time, I am afraid that I and the queen will be targeted by Concubine De.
But. This is called self-defeat, right? The corners of Jing Shengwu's lips lifted a sneer, no matter what, this concubine will not end well today.
"She is now Zhao Guiren, how to deal with this. The queen will look at it. Now that August 15 has passed, Yelu Xiongnu and Princess Yelu from Mobei are also about to arrive, so don't delay this matter. โ
Chu Heng sighed lightly again and ordered, "That's it." I'm tired, so it's okay for you to be fine. It's almost dawn now, and I'm going back to the Fengtian Temple. Changle, your mother is in pain, let you handle the details of this matter. โ
With another command, Chu Heng flicked his sleeves and left the Millennium Palace amid everyone's shouts of "Congratulations to the emperor".
Jing Shengwu chuckled in his heart, and sure enough, the dust had settled.
After Chu Heng left. Jing Shengwu got up and began to do the finishing work. Now that the queen mother is injured, she can't stay in this for too long. Her dormitory had been burned down, and she had to relegate to the side hall of the Millennium Palace.
What made Jing Shengwu grit his teeth even more was that the east side hall of Changle Palace and the Millennium Palace of the queen mother were all burned down, and the two palaces were connected here. If you want to come to the future, I'm afraid it's inconvenient.
"Changle, the queen mother will go back to the side hall to rest first, you can just watch and deal with the things here. However, Zhao Guiren and Zhao promised the two sisters that they should not delay it for too long. If it drags on for too long. I'm afraid that it will be easy to give birth to accidents. When the time comes, we won't be able to get over it on our face. โ
The queen softly told Jing Shengwu a few words, and then left. Now she has suffered a lot of physical and mental wounds, and she has no spirit to support her here. So this sweeping thing. Naturally, it was handed over to Jing Shengwu.
"The queen mother can rest assured that the sons will definitely not live up to the expectations of the queen mother. If it's almost dawn today, the queen mother will go to rest first, there are sons here, and it's not a big deal to come. Jing Shengwu was blessed softly, and persuaded softly.
Seeing Jing Shengwu know the general situation so well. The queen was also relieved, and immediately returned to the side hall, and lay down under the service of Leng Xiang.
The wound on her shoulder was still scorching, but there was excitement in the queen's eyes that couldn't be concealed, "Hmph, it's really heaven to help the palace, Concubine De, this fool, is really killing herself!" โ
Although Chu Heng demoted Concubine De to Concubine Zhao, and later to Zhao Guiren, she never died, and there was no major crime, and it was a disaster after all. The queen has long wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots in this palace, but she has not had a chance to start.
Now, she actually sent someone to burn down Changle Palace, and she was also affected. This woman is really stupid, how can she be in this palace where she can mess around?
"Niangniang, now that this Zhao Guiren and Zhao promised to fall into the hands of Jing Shengwu, the princess is still young, will she do some pitiful things?"
Leng Xiang was not as happy as the queen, and when she served the queen and smeared her with a good iceberg cleansing cream, she still asked uneasily.
Although Jing Shengwu's scheming looks quite deep, she is only a boudoir girl in the past fourteen years. She is now instructed by the emperor to deal with this matter with full powers, if she is moved by compassion, she is afraid that she will cut the grass and not eradicate the roots.
And the woman Concubine De, in time, she calmed down from the blow of being demoted, and I am afraid that she will be able to become a big disaster again. After all, a woman who has been able to compete with the queen for so many years doesn't have any ability?
"She won't reset, after all, her mistake is to underestimate the child Jing Shengwu. Although she is the eldest daughter of Jingfu, she has no foundation in this harem. But to be able to be named a real princess by the emperor with her own ability, how can she be a good person? โ
That girl is ruthless, has many ways to do things, and has a deep scheming, but she does not lose an innocent girl's heart. In many things, she still retains a sense of gratitude to people.
Such a woman is too smart and alert, but she knows how to be unassuming. In the days when she got the emperor's blue eyes, she was more low-key and calm, so she let the queen know that this girl could not be regarded only as fourteen years old on the surface.
"If she and Yu'er hadn't gone through that kind of thing at the beginning, I'm afraid that she would be the best candidate for Yu'er's concubine now. Who else can compare to her scheming and assist Yu'er? โ
The queen thought of the incident at that time, and couldn't help but sigh.
Otherwise, according to Jing Shengwu's status in the emperor's heart today, as well as the power she holds, even including the Jing Mansion behind her, I am afraid that if she is married to be a concubine, Yu'er will be designated as the prince, and it will be a certainty!
Cold Palace, this is a place where all palace people talk about the color change. No one here can get a good end. Often, there will be many concubines and palace people who can't stand the torture and cut themselves, and even at night, they can hear miserable cries.
So this cold palace is now also a forbidden place in the entire palace that is regarded as a forbidden place by the palace people, even if you come to deliver food, you just put it down in a hurry and run, where do you dare to stay here for too long?
But recently, Jing Shengwu is going to come here for a trip. In order to prevent Xueyue and Qingyin, the two little girls, from being unable to stand this scene in the cold palace, she came here today and only took Leng Yu alone.
Of course, in order to prevent those deranged palace people in this cold palace from attacking Jing Shengwu in a panic, so behind Jing Shengwu, there was also a team of Imperial Forest Army, Xiao Zhuozi and a few other eunuchs who had some kung fu in their hands, and they followed Jing Shengwu closely, and did not dare to be a little sloppy.
With their appearance as if they were facing a great enemy, Jing Shengwu finally came to this legendary cold palace, and gently pushed open the wooden door that closed the former Concubine De, the current Zhao Guiren and Zhao promised.
The sun scorched into the room, stabbing both people in the room, both of whom were dodging in panic.
The room in the cold palace has always been extremely dark, so with the sunlight shining in, Rao is Jing Shengwu also had to pass his eyes for a long time before he could get used to the first half of the score a little. When she saw the appearance of the palace clearly, she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
For the two sisters of Zhao Guiren, her impression has always stayed on the impression of being arrogant and domineering and gorgeous. But I don't know why, when she saw the two of them now, there was no longer the scene of the past in her heart. If no one sues her, she is afraid that she will not be able to recognize the two of them in person! (To be continued.) )
