Chapter 287: Punished
The emperor glanced at the empress in disgust, don't think that he didn't see that she fled by herself without thinking about it for the first time just now, it is better to be a child.
"You mean this has something to do with Princess Goryeo?" The Emperor's voice was cold and cold.
Princess Ying Can was also frightened just now, but fortunately, she had a messenger to protect her as soon as possible and ran to the side to hide, but she was scared enough, and the person was fine.
Hearing the queen's false accusation, Princess Ying Can immediately walked out and knelt on the ground, bowing and bowing, "Your Majesty, please also come to worship on behalf of Gaoli sincerely, and there is no second heart, it is a matter of life and death for our dynasty, how dare we do such a self-defeating thing." Besides, can it be done with just a few female assassins? It's not as easy as it is easier for me to get along with the emperor alone after I am a concubine, and I also ask the emperor and the queen mother to know it. Princess Ying Can cried and complained.
"On what basis does the queen think that Concubine Li arranged it? Is there any evidence? The Queen Mother sat upright on a chair, graceful and majestic.
"I don't know what to do, which banquet is not good, why is there an assassin when she comes, isn't there a little bit of cattiness here? Your Majesty, the concubines are also for the sake of the Great Zhou, for the sake of the emperor's safety, please forgive the concubines' hard work. The queen is righteous.
The emperor's deep eyes looked at the Goryeo princess kneeling underneath, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he suddenly asked, "Mingzhu, what do you think?" ”
"Ah, ask me?" Mingzhu came back to his senses in an instant, with an inexplicable stunned expression, and asked me what I am doing, this is a matter of court politics, how can I speak casually as a little woman.
She looked at her nearest father and forgot about it.
Shangguan Hao wanted to speak, but was stopped by the emperor's glare. He was anxious in his heart, but it was not easy to provoke the emperor at this moment, so he quickly weighed it in his heart. Mingzhu was the first to find out that something was wrong and issued a warning in time, which is also considered meritorious, and he should not blame his daughter, no matter how bad it is, he and his father and other people will protect him, he should be fine.
"Yes, what do you mean? Do you think it could have been Concubine Li's doing? The emperor looked at Mingzhu for a long time, and his eyes were still gentle.
Mingzhu tilted her head and thought about it. "If Concubine Li did it, the price would be a little bigger. It's easy to send a princess to show her sincerity, but she hasn't done anything. It clicked. Isn't that a loss? How can anyone be so stupid. Besides, I think what Concubine Li said is very reasonable, she is a concubine, and she is already the emperor's uncle, will there be less when she is close alone. It's like poisoning, and you can't use any means. It's not much more secret than this assassination, I think it's better to investigate it carefully, don't let go of the real murderer, what if you come again, the emperor's uncle's safety is the most important thing, this matter should be carefully investigated, right? She shrugged her shoulders and told the truth, she could see that the emperor did not believe the queen's false accusations.
"Hmm. The mourning family also felt that what Mingzhu said was reasonable, and this matter could not be generalized and should be thoroughly investigated. "The Queen Mother finally closed the coffin.
"Yes. Queen Mother Mingjian, you're frightened, go back and rest first. ”
"Well, the mourning family will go back first, and the emperor should also pay attention to his body, don't be angry, let the ladies go back. Mingzhu, you should go back too, Shuyi will come over to help the mourning family. ”
"Whoa!" Shuyi also recovered from the fright, heard the call of the Queen Mother, trotted all the way over, and helped the Queen Mother to Cining Palace.
Mingzhu returned to the old lady and Yongtai, Yongtai held her daughter's hand, pinched her fiercely, and glared at her viciously, with tears in her eyes.
Mingzhu smiled flatteringly, and the old lady also patted her, but didn't say anything.
"Okay, Uncle Hao Brother Zaisuke stays, and the others will go back first." The emperor called the names of several people, waved his hand sternly, and asked everyone to disperse.
The ladies supported each other and walked out in shock, the little eunuchs showed them the way, and the guards took the assassin down and cleaned up the body.
The prince commanded the little eunuchs to quickly rinse the blood stains with water, and lit the strongest osmanthus fragrance to flush the rich smell of blood.
As soon as it was orderly, it was already neat in a short time, and the slightest trace could still be seen.
"Take the princess of Goryeo down." The queen held her head high and looked at Princess Ying Can fiercely.
"Send it down to rest first, wait for the good students, and hold the concubine ceremony on a certain day." The emperor had already walked out of the crowd, and when he heard Queen Gao's shout, he immediately turned around and made up a sentence.
The queen was angry and angry, "Your Majesty! ”
"The queen is good at herself." The emperor's indifferent eyes swept over the empress, and his eyes were full of ridicule.
The queen's body stiffened, her face was a little embarrassed, and the emperor had completely ignored the love of husband and wife.
The emperor is gone, what are the others left to do, each to his own way.
When she got home, the old lady had a straight face, "Mingzhu let me in." ”
"Yes." Mingzhu bowed her head and obediently entered the house.
"You get on your knees!" The old lady snorted.
Mingzhu knelt on the ground with a pop.
"Do you know what's wrong?"
"Mingzhu knows his mistakes, and he shouldn't risk himself, but it is a great grace for the Queen Mother to raise me, and I will still do it again." Mingzhu raised her head to look at the old lady and Yongtai, who looked distressed, and expressed her thoughts seriously.
"How dare you rush up to the level of that three-legged cat? You don't want to die? The old lady was angry.
"Grandmother, I know that Mama Zhao and Hongrui are by my side, and they will block it for me if there is danger, I won't have a big event, so I dare to go up, and I threw the plate first, the assassin wants to assassinate the emperor, and I pull the queen mother, so the danger is not great."
At that time, it was indeed a little dangerous, but it was not so bad that she would die, she saw her father and others shooting together, so she dared to rush up to protect the Queen Mother, but she was the closest.
"You're too worried, kid, do you know what we're going to do if you have one?" The old lady had tears in her eyes.
Mingzhu leaned over and lay on her grandmother's lap, "Grandmother, I'm sorry that I took the risk, but there are some things that I can't see, just there is no danger, I won't be so reckless in the future, don't be angry!" ”
"Forget it, I will spare you this time, but the punishment cannot be exempted, copy the Diamond Sutra fifty times, and the Buddha Hall will be cultivated for ten days." The old lady has always loved Mingzhu but does not dot on her.
"Yes, granddaughter admits punishment!" Mingzhu bowed and kowtowed.
"Get up, let's rest after a day of tiredness, if there is anything to discuss tomorrow when the master comes back, you have made meritorious contributions today, and some things should not be publicized." The old lady is also very tired.
"Yes, Grandmother, you should rest early." Mingzhu got up and placed the old lady in place, and watched Mama An take over and direct the girls to get busy, before she and her mother withdrew.
Mingzhu took Yongtai's hand, "Mother, don't worry about me, with Mama Zhao and Hongrui here, I'm fine." I'm very happy, I'm one step closer to success, I want to get that power, it can protect you and protect yourself, I'm happy. ”
She is not the kind of person who gives up a qiē when she has a husband's love, after all, she has her own yearning and goals in her heart.
Yongtai nodded tearfully, touched his daughter's stunning face with love and pity, and saw that her eyes were as bright as jewels, with a confident and cheerful smile on her face, and her heart slowly precipitated, as long as the child was happy, she was also happy. (To be continued.) )
