Chapter 136: The Storm Rises Again
The day after General Lin returned to China, the morning dynasty was resumed, and everyone took advantage of this day to take a good rest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, everything was said to the people outside the Northern Qi Palace, but the palace was even more depressing than before General Lin returned to China, and many people disappeared inexplicably, and several important palaces were guarded by many people outside the three layers and the outer three layers. The familiar palace maid and the eunuch didn't dare to stop to say hello when they met, and walked hurriedly with their heads down, as if they didn't know anyone.
Hua Mian woke up early, felt a slight headache, frowned slightly, got dressed, and went to find Beiqi. When I arrived at the door of the dormitory, I just saw a little eunuch standing, and I knew that Beiqi was not there.
"Where did the emperor and Chang Gui's father-in-law go?"
"My father-in-law left a message for the adults and asked them to go to the cold palace to find them."
"Cold Palace?"
Thinking of the plan set last night, Hua Mian seemed to understand why Bei Qi and Chang Gui would run to the cold palace as soon as they woke up early in the morning. Flower Face nodded, speeding up her steps to rush over.
Hua Mian walked on the road, passing by Weiyang Palace, and it happened that Meng Zhangshi walked out of it.
"Lady Flowers."
"Meng is in charge."
Before Hua Mian raised his head and had time to say hello, Meng Zhangshi pulled up Hua Liang's arm,
"Why is your lord still here, come with me quickly, this father-in-law said that the emperor is in a hurry now."
Hua Mian walked briskly with Meng Zhangshi, feeling that the two of them were not fast enough to throw off the trainee little eunuch who was following behind him for a distance, Hua Mian lowered his voice and said,
"Chang Gui's father-in-law has agreed with Meng Zhang?"
Meng Zhangshi's steps are still very fast, and his face still looks anxious,
"Yes, my father-in-law was waiting for me in the hospital this morning, and everything that should be explained is clear."
Hua Mian nodded secretly in his heart, for so many years, Meng Zhangshi has always been reassuring.
"Meng Zhangshi, don't worry, I will send someone to protect you secretly."
Meng Zhangshi nodded lightly, didn't say anything, and thought about what he should say. In addition to an explanation of the bodies of the two mothers later, the body of the queen mother is also very important.
Chang Gui personally guarded the door, and all idle people were not allowed to enter. Hua Mian followed Meng Zhangshi in, and saw Eqi standing in the courtyard.
"Your Majesty."
After saluting Beiqi, the flower face stood aside. Beiqi nodded and did not elaborate.
"Meng Zhangshi, you should hurry up and take a look at Concubine Shuniang."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Meng Zhangshi hurriedly walked into the room directly opposite Beiqi, and the door was tightly closed, leaving more people outside the courtyard. Bei Qi stared at the door for a while, and then stopped looking. He turned around and said to Flower Face,
"General Lin just came back, and something like this happened, and I really can't explain it. Uncle too, before he had time to rest, he was spared these things, and he was quiet, and it was really not good for me to do it. ”
Chang Gui hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down with a thud.
"Where is the emperor's fault, it is clearly the fault of the old slave, the queen Ou Niangniang is pregnant, and most of the things in the harem are taken care of by the old slave. It was the old slave who didn't take good care of it, and the talented Duan Concubine Niangniang was depressed to do such a thing, and now the concubine Niangniang and the dragon fetus in her womb are in danger, please ask the emperor to give the old slave a death. ”
Chang Gui bent down and kowtowed as he spoke, Beiqi hurriedly bent down to stop him, and Hua Mian also stretched out his hand to pull Chang Gui's arm,
"Your Majesty, according to Weichen, it is better to find out the consequences of this matter as soon as possible. Although the two mothers stretched out the harem, they were all implicated in the previous dynasty. For the sake of caution, the minister implored the emperor to tell the emperor that this matter should be ascertained by the minister, and the minister will be cautious and do his best, and hope that the emperor will approve it. ”
Beiqi made a thoughtful look, and then nodded,
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to Uncle Flower Face to deal with. Uncle Chang Gui, you should also hurry up, I will punish you, and I will wait until Uncle Huayan finds out the matter. There are still a lot of things waiting for you to deal with in this harem, so hurry up. ”
Bei Qi and Hua Mian helped Chang Gui get up from the ground, and immediately a little eunuch came over and patted the dust on Chang Gui's clothes. Bei Qi squinted his eyes and knocked on the man, but did not move.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Duanniang is in that room over there now, do you want to go and see Niangniang."
Bei Qi glanced in the direction of Chang Gui's finger and nodded slightly,
"It's fine."
So the three of them went to the room. There were not many people in the courtyard, but Chang Gui deliberately put an ear and eye in, just to let him see all these things, so as to spread the word about it. The only people who entered the room where Concubine Duan was held were the three of them from Northern Qi and the clever little eunuch.
The room was a little dark, and there was always a musty smell in the shady room.
Concubine Duan looked at the three people in front of her in a daze, there was a surprise in her eyes, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth unconsciously.
"Your Majesty."
Hearing Concubine Duan's hoarse voice, Bei Qi frowned.
It is said that when Concubine Duan was taken away from the Chuyu Palace, she didn't say a word. After being able to get to the cold palace, I didn't hear any shouts from Concubine Duan, and the water and meals were served on time every day, why did Concubine Duan's voice become like an old woman's voice, hoarse and didn't look at it.
Concubine Duan herself also noticed the change on Beiqi's face, and secretly smiled bitterly.
No one had ever heard Concubine Duan's cry, and all the cries were crushed back into her throat by the darkness. All the fears, frightes, grievances, unwillingness, and remorse turned into knives, scurrying back and forth in her internal organs, and it hurt her to cut.
Originally, Beiqi didn't have any feelings for this Miss Jin family, and originally thought that she was more well-behaved, and she was still a little guilty in the face of him in her heart. But I didn't expect this young lady to be such a ghostly person, although it may have been an unintentional move to cause Concubine Shu's slippery tire, but this incident had too much impact on Beiqi's heart, so Beiqi didn't even want to look at her now.
Beiqi turned around and stopped looking at Concubine Duan,
"Needless to say, you've found out all your tricks, and the woman named Guixiang has confessed to everything. Concubine Duan, you shouldn't do this. ”
Concubine Duan smiled, the result of so many days, so many days of waiting has finally come.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The door of the cold palace was opened, and the eyes and ears that Chang Gui had specially left walked out. The news quickly spread from the Northern Qi Palace, and after a while, the door of the Jin family was knocked open, and the secret letter finally reached the hands of Jin Shoufu himself. The Jin family was sitting together in a pavilion in the back garden because of this break, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the roll of letterhead, and then they paid attention to Jin Shoufu's suddenly changing face.
After a long time, when the eldest lady was still in a nervous mood and didn't know what to do, the content of the secret letter left from the Jin Mansion again, and arrived at another extremely popular mansion in the city at this time, the Lin Mansion. (To be continued.) )
