Chapter 20: Self-righteousness

Qin Ji took advantage of the night to leave the palace, and Xiao Zhuzi followed behind him, spreading some news along the way. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon, everyone who had the power to compete got the news, especially Zhao Bi, who hadn't even solved Yang Zhong's matter, and Qin Ji left the palace.

Can he let Qin Ji out of the palace? No!

Almost as soon as he got the news, he immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, and the whole city was searched in the name of catching Yang Zhizhang's murderer, and Qin Ji was bound to be arrested.

It's just that this reason made Yang Zhong angry, and he couldn't wait to break his body into thousands of pieces immediately.

Qin Ji went out of the palace, and he was not in a hurry, Xiao Zhuzi arranged a place for him to live in the Yongwang Mansion, and watched Zhou Hanyan fight the landlord with his subordinates all day long.

couldn't catch Qin Ji, Zhao Bi was even more anxious, and after Xiao Zhuzi left the palace, the first thing he did was Zhou Niang's business, Zhou Zhou Niang was an intelligence talent recruited by Xiao Zhu Zi in the people, and she was a ruthless character.

"Boss, you mean you want me to report to the official?" She was a little weak-hearted, because she was Zhao Shu's person, and she went to sue the four princes, for fear of being exposed.

Xiao Zhuzi hated the iron and knocked her forehead, "Sanniang, Sanniang, when will you be able to fight for some qi?" The county lord is behind us to support us, you don't dare to do this, you don't dare to do that, if you don't have the county lord, what else can you do? If you are asked to report to the official, you will report to the official, and the miscellaneous family will not believe it, and it is reasonable to imprison the county lord. ”

Hearing this, Wednesday Niang understood, and it turned out to be the last sentence.

She nodded, "Okay, I'll go now." ”

The next day, as soon as the sky was dawning, Wednesday Niang sounded the drum of Jingzhao Mansion, which made people panic.

Before the streets and alleys were crowded, some rumors began to spread that the city could not be stopped.

"You know, yesterday the monarch and the county lord entered the palace to see the emperor imprisoned in the palace, tsk, the county lord is just saying a word for the people, and some people can't get used to it, hey, it's a pity that several adults have resigned, and the emperor is followed by ministers, and it will be difficult in the future."

"Really? Isn't the rumor of that day true? The Fourth Highness is really a broken sleeve? What can you do to catch the county lord? Some people don't believe it, and they can't figure it out.

"Do you know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has now given up the position of the Prince, the monarch and the prince have always been close, naturally some people are not used to it, and they want to kill it all, this royal matter, hey, okay, okay, don't talk about it."

The silence is even more infinitely reverie.

Soon, countless versions circulated in the city, what Zhao Shu asked for his life for the people and was imprisoned, what His Royal Highness's wolf ambitions, etc., and so on, such rumors Zhao Bi couldn't suppress.

couldn't suppress the rumors, Zhao Bi wanted to come to Zhao Shu in person and warn her not to be too rampant, but before she could see Zhao Shu, she was intercepted by Yang Zhong.

If Yang Zhizhang was still alive, even if he was expelled from the house and was charged with a crime, Yang Zhong didn't feel anything, the left and right people were still there, and one day he could clear the stigma on his body.

But when a person dies, there is really nothing.

In the second half of his life, in addition to fighting wits and courage with Xie Yun and others, he devoted all his strength to cultivating the eldest grandson who took over the throne of the family, and there was nothing more hateful to him than the eldest grandson disappearing forever.

"Your Highness, aren't you going to say something?" Yang Zhong said hatefully.

Zhao Bi faced Yang Zhong's menacing appearance and the hatred in his eyes, and trembled in his heart, Yang Zhong's life was incomparable to him, and he lost a lot in momentum.

He organized the language and defended: "Lord Yang, this must be a frame-up!" ”

However, such an argument is extremely pale and has no credibility at all.

Yang Zhong sneered, "Is Your Highness an idiot in the world?" Can't my Yang family even find the murderer? Yang Zhong's tone was solemn, and his face was full of murderous anger, "Your Highness, you'd better give the old man an explanation, otherwise!" He glanced at Zhao Bi threateningly, snorted coldly and shook his sleeves away.

Before he disappeared in front of Zhao Bi's eyes, Zhao Yu appeared, he was in the dust, and when he saw Yang Zhong, he immediately bowed his hand and said hello, "Lord Yang, who are you?" ”

After all, he is the eldest prince, Yang Zhong still has to give some face, not to mention that when he saw Zhao Yu, he thought about it, so he said slowly: "Why did Your Highness come back?" ”

"Hey, it's not that I'm worried about my father, don't say much, I want to see my father, and Lord Yang also entered the palace to see my father? Why don't you have one? He crossed Yang Zhong and saw Zhao Bi, his face showed surprise, "I didn't expect the fourth brother to come too, are the fourth brothers together?" ”

Where did Zhao Bi dare to be with Yang Zhong, and immediately shook his head, "No, big brother, go, I just saw it, and now I want to go and say goodbye to my mother." ”

He said it quickly, but he didn't realize that Emperor Mingde lived in Yide's Weiyang Palace, but not long after he recognized Yide as his mother, when he was flustered, he often thought of Concubine Ning.

"Then the eldest brother went, and the fourth brother please." Zhao Yu wished that Zhao Bi would not follow, in his heart, he was not capable enough Zhao Bi, and he didn't want to get involved with him many times, especially when he was compared.

Often, his big brother loses.

Zhao Bi nodded, and really headed towards Concubine Ning's old palace.

Now that Concubine Ning has been demoted to a beauty and entered the cold palace, her original palace has been depressed a lot, and no one has cleaned the fallen leaves on the ground, accumulating a thick layer of paint that has fallen in the autumn wind and rain, and no one has thought of making up for it.

The original lively place was now extremely deserted, he picked up a fairly clean step and sat down, Xiao Ruanzi stood in the distance, not knowing how to persuade him.

It was probably because Zhao Bi had too many things in his heart, and he didn't know who to talk to, so he asked Xiao Ruanzi, "Am I wrong?" ”

Xiao Ruanzi was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why Zhao Bi asked this, he looked dumbfounded, Zhao Bi was extremely irritable when he saw it, he stood up and went out of the palace directly.

After leaving the palace, he didn't go anywhere, he went all the way back to the Four Princes' Mansion, but he didn't find anyone, and went straight to Zhen Qizhong's arms.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhen Qizhong gently stroked his back and asked worriedly.

Zhao Bi buried his face in his arms and muttered, "Am I wrong?" ”

"People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, you are not wrong." Zhen Shichie replied softly.

Xiao Ruanzi didn't understand the meaning of Zhao Bi's words, but Zhen Qizhong did, Zhao Bi was now cornered, and he had decided to force the palace in his heart.

Although he is ruthless, although he kills people without blinking, and unscrupulous means, the object of forcing the palace is his father, his biological father, and he has never been unfond of him.

Let's ask, who doesn't feel heartache to take action against a father who loves him?

His heart ached so much that he was about to suffocate.

Zhen Qiju didn't know what words to comfort him, so she just hugged him tightly in her arms.

At this moment, silent companionship is the best comfort.

Xiao Ruanzi retreated with great discernment, but he shouldn't have retreated, because not long after he retreated, Hao Shumei came.

She looked at the two hugging each other with tears on her face, choked up and couldn't speak.

All the embarrassment of a lifetime is piled up at this moment.

When the two of them found her, she smiled like a flower, very beautiful, upside down the beauty of all beings, as if the most beautiful flower in the world bloomed in the spring of March.

People can't bear to disturb and blaspheme.

Zhu lips lightly opened, and said lightly: "I lost to myself after all, I shouldn't believe those rumors." ”

In fact, she believed it, but she was unwilling, and it turned out that unwillingness would make a person irreversible.

Before Zhao Bi could react, Hao Shumei dropped her words and left, she couldn't embarrass herself anymore, even if she lost, she didn't admit that she was not good enough.

Zhen Qizhong asked Zhao Bi, "You don't want to chase it?" ”

Zhao Bi shook his head, "It's no longer necessary." After he finished speaking, he raised his voice and said, "Someone." ”

When Xiao Ruan Zi and other henchmen heard the voice, they all rushed over and saluted in front of him, "Your Highness, what are your orders?" Someone asked.

Zhao Bi didn't discuss with his staff, and said directly: "Take someone to control Peng Rui, Peng Shoujun and others for me, don't let Qin Ji get close to them, and transfer troops into the city." ”

"Your Highness, but do you want to make trouble? Your Highness, should the Yongwang Mansion and the Seven Princes also be controlled? ”

Zhao Bi nodded, "Control it all for me, the whole city is under martial law, and you are not allowed to enter or leave." ”

"Yes."

The most powerful intelligence in the entire capital is Zhao Shu, gathering Sun Yun, Wei Tingsi and her own intelligence system, any wind and grass in the capital can be controlled clearly.

When Zhao Bi just ordered martial law in the whole city, she got the news, of course, she didn't have to do anything now, and instructed Xiao Zhuzi: "Spread the news to Concubine De, let her know, and at the same time let the prince's brother pretend to be sick, understand?" ”

"Yes, County Lord, then you still want to stay in Cining Palace?" He is very uneasy, and now the palace is the most unsafe.

Zhao Shu nodded, "It's okay, you can go and do as I say." "The palace is the most dangerous and the safest.

Soon, Concubine De got the news, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and said to Zhao Yu beside her: "Xu'er, go and inform Lord Yang that Zhao Bi is going to rebel!" Such a big crime, this palace wants to see how he can escape! ”

Zhao Yu was also overjoyed, and hurriedly went out of the palace to find Yang Zhong.

It's just that he didn't realize that he was going too well, but people like him don't need to know too much, Xiao Zhuzi just needs to know that the county lord needs these two dog-eat-dogs.

Zhao Bi never imagined that Zhao Shu would be able to get the news so quickly, after he ordered someone to go down to do something, after having a warm encounter with Zhen Qizhong, Zhen Qizhong said worriedly: "Is it really going to take a step?" ”

"Now, there are rumors about you and me, plus Zhao Shu has a very high reputation among the people, I can't lock her up for too long, and my father is quite dissatisfied with me, and Lord Yang has that irresolvable misunderstanding, Xiao Qi, I am already desperate."

Zhen Qiju sighed, "No matter what, I will stand behind you and support you." ”

"You're enough." Zhao Bi said, that's why he didn't chase Hao Shumei, now it's no longer necessary, even if he shakes out the affairs of the two of them, he is not afraid.

It is said that Hao Shumei came out of the Four Princes' Mansion, she was grief-stricken, and the ghost sent her to Zhao Yi's Seven Princes' Mansion, and it happened that Xiaofuzi came back from outside, and when she saw her, she had selfishness in her heart.

Thinking about it, I must not let this woman see Her Highness!

It's just that she brought out the identity of the concubine, but it is not something that Xiaofuzi can stop.

However, Xiaofuzi is also clever, and immediately went to inform Qiu Tong.

Seeing Zhao Yi, Hao Shumei felt as if she was in a different world, and when she saw Zhao Yi, who was dignified, like a sword hidden deep in the scabbard, she had mixed feelings in her heart.

"The concubine is here, I don't know what to do?" Qiu Tong arrived in time and stood beside Zhao Yi as a hostess.

She is not particularly beautiful, but it is like a peony blooming quietly in the morning, quiet and noble, and it seems to be like a cloud in the sky, a demure and decent temperament, standing naturally by Zhao Yi's side, as if fate should be so matched.

Indeed, this is how fate should be.

If she knew that she had repented at this time, would it be too late? She didn't know what she was unwilling to do, being humiliated by Zhao Bi? Or is there no hope of being a queen?

Or, there are some unrealistic delusions in mind.

She looked at Zhao Yi in a daze, and said softly, "I want to talk to you alone." ”

Zhao Yi saluted very well, and the junior salute, "I don't know what Niangniang has to say?" It's better to talk to Neizi, Yi and Niangniang talk alone, it doesn't agree, Niangniang wants to avoid suspicion. ”

Hao Shumei listened, as if she had been hit hard, her body shook, and she took a deep look at Zhao Yi, his eyes were frank and open, and there was no trace of past affection, but the difference was that he looked at Qiu Tong's eyes, like the so-called husband and wife he saw on weekdays.

She has never been a wife, and she doesn't know how her husband and wife should get along, about Zhao Yi and Qiu Tong, who support each other for a long time.

In her life, she missed something, and she was unwilling to accept something, but now she understands it.

Looking at Qiu Tong, this woman, she is very jealous, but what qualifications do she have now?

"That's it, I'm leaving." As she spoke, she turned around slowly, as if the autumn leaves were about to fall, and her back was infinitely desolate.

Zhao Yi watched her leave, stretched out her hand to hold Qiu Tong's hand tightly, and said, "Don't think about it, you are my wife, and you will never change." ”

In fact, a woman in this era only needs to have such a commitment.

Hao Shumei walked out of the Seven Princes' Mansion, and was greeted by Sun Yun, who was smiling and groaning, she was sitting in the carriage at this time, raising the curtain and smiling at her.

Such a bright smile shook Hao Shumei's eyes.

"Why do you have to weep with a sad face? I told you not to leave the palace earlier, you didn't listen. Sun Yundao, she thought that Hao Shumei was going to escape, so she hurriedly chased it out in person.

Hao Shumei didn't say anything, got into the carriage, leaned his head against the wall of the carriage, and didn't feel a headache even if it was bumpy.

Sun Yun took out a few snacks from the oil paper and handed them to Hao Shumei, "Eat some, otherwise how can you have the strength to take revenge?" ”

Hao Shumei laughed at herself, "Such humiliation, it's all my own self-infliction, how can I take revenge?" Sun Jiao died well, she was lucky. ”

If Sun Jiao knew that her beloved husband had such a hobby, I am afraid that she would not be able to stand it.

"It's really unproductive." Sun Yun hated the way that iron does not become steel.

Hao Shumei didn't pay attention to her anymore, just kept leaning her head against the wall of the car, and was silent all the way until she returned to the palace, and didn't say a word.

Sun Yun also entered the palace secretly, and when she appeared in front of Zhao Shu, she said very disdainfully when she talked about Hao Shumei: "I don't know who she is doing with her bitter and hateful appearance." ”

Zhao Shu chuckled, "At first, she thought that Zhao Bi was obsessed with her beauty, just like the emperor was obsessed with Yide, and felt that she would be able to be the queen, but now she finds that even if she is as beautiful as a fairy, Zhao Bi doesn't love her, and she is hit hard in her heart, so she is naturally in a bad mood, don't care about her, she is just a self-righteous person." ”

"Hey, stupid woman, you think that with beauty you can have everything, don't you know how long you can lust others?" (To be continued.) )
