Chapter 055: The clouds open and the fog disperses
Thank you for the peace charm rewarded by Xue Muyi!
Shen Xizhen, who sensed this qiē, slowly collected his work, suddenly felt exhausted, and hurriedly lay down to rest, while secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
From the early hours of this morning until the night, she kept concentrating on the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and performing the evil dissolving technique, with the aim of allowing Emperor Guangzhao to wake up today.
She had already calculated the timing, just today, not sooner or later.
Therefore, she risked her life and kept exercising, striving to maximize her mental power, so as to ensure that she could effectively break through the witchcraft confinement in Emperor Guangzhao's body and restore the divine consciousness of normal people.
Shen Xizhen knew very well in his heart that as long as Emperor Guangzhao could wake up, things would be able to turn from darkness to light.
It's just that a political struggle is inevitable.
Then, this war also happens to help Emperor Guangzhao, Chu Zihou, Lazagina and Chu Zican, no matter how different their positions are, a new situation will open up because of this matter.
That's exactly what she wants.
She called the prisoner and said, "Please help me to call the judge here, for I have something important to look for him." ”
The keeper nodded and walked out.
When the inquisitor received the news, he immediately rushed to the cell.
As he walked, he sighed in his heart: People who know how to calculate are not ordinary, they can handle an intricate case clearly, and even the pressure of power can't help her.
Thinking like this, the judge's admiration for Shen Xizhen suddenly soared.
"Miss Shen. I wonder what you're looking for me? The Inquisitor bowed respectfully with a fist at her
"Please tell me the contents of Yun's letter." Hee Zhen looked at him calmly and said.
"Okay, it's just, the ugly words are ahead-please Miss Shen don't make a noise. I am now waiting for the emperor to wake up, and as soon as the emperor wakes up, I will immediately present this letter to him for the purpose of the purpose. ”
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
The judge told her the contents of the letter secretly.
After listening, Shen Xizhen was silent for a while, and finally said calmly: "The emperor has woken up, you can present this letter to him." ”
The personal grievances between the emperor and the queen, the crown prince, and the concubine will be decided by the emperor, so she is not prepared to inform Chu Zihou of the content of this letter, anyway, he will soon know from the emperor.
But she knew. Tong Guò can get justice for Lazagina, and it can be regarded as doing something for Chu Zihou and his mother.
"You mean, the emperor has woken up?" The Inquisitor was overjoyed.
"Hmm." Shen Xizhen nodded at him.
Now it will be easy to do, the judge said secretly in his heart.
"So. Miss Shen will be able to leave here soon, please wait for my good news. The Inquisitor smiled and saluted her.
………………………
"Did the emperor see the knife in my hand just now?" Empress Wenci looked at Emperor Guangzhao who opened his eyes and thought to herself. The prince was also thinking about this question.
If the emperor saw it, how should he explain it?
Holding a knife and stabbing the emperor in the heart, what a bad act. Empress Wenci and the crown prince were in trepidation.
So far. He had to act as if he didn't know, and one step at a time.
They immediately called for someone to send a messenger to the imperial physician.
Liu Shipai, who was waiting in Xingyun Pavilion, heard that the Imperial Doctor was going to be passed on here in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and immediately walked towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Before he could enter the gate, the prince came out and motioned with his eyes for him to hurry up and disperse the army.
"Don't make a little bit of noise out, otherwise you, me, and the queen mother's lives will not be saved." The prince whispered in his ear.
Liu Shipai hurriedly nodded in promise and stumbled out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
As long as he doesn't make a noise, at least he can save the lives of the crown prince and Empress Wenci, as for his. He had already done it.
However, what he never expected was that the letter that Yun had left before his death was still there, and it was in the hands of the Inquisitor.
I learned that the emperor had woken up. Chu Zihou immediately rushed to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Emperor Guangzhao looked at Chu Zican, Chu Zihou and Empress Wenci and said, "My illness has made you worry a lot, right?" His tone was not aware of the signs of Empress Wenci's assassination of him.
Empress Wenci and Chu Zican's hearts suddenly fell to the ground.
"No, Your Majesty, as long as you're okay!" Empress Wenci replied with a busy smile.
"Help me up, I want to drink some millet porridge, and I want to eat some sugar fried cashew nuts." Emperor Guangzhao said in a calm tone.
"Okay, the concubine immediately asked the imperial dining room to do it." Empress Wenci said.
Emperor Guangzhao glanced at her, stopped talking, and struggled to sit up.
Chu Zican and Chu Zihou hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Help me go back to Zichen Palace." Emperor Guangzhao said again.
The two of them immediately helped him to go to the Zichen Palace. Empress Wenci followed.
When he arrived at the Zichen Palace, Emperor Guangzhao asked Chu Zihou, "Where is Miss Shen?" ”
The faces of all three changed.
She ...... He was imprisoned on suspicion of performing curses on his father. Chu Zihou replied.
"Smack." With a bang, Emperor Guangzhao slapped his hand heavily on the table.
"It's ridiculous, whose statement is this? What is the evidence? Emperor Guangzhao asked loudly.
Empress Wenci, Chu Zican, and Chu Zihou hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please calm the emperor's anger, the dragon body is important." ”
"I'm going to my cell now, and I'm going to try this case myself." Emperor Guangzhao stood up and said. Suddenly, I felt the world spinning, and hurriedly sat back on the stool.
"Your Majesty, you are too weak now, let's wait until you have eaten." Empress Wenci hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said.
Emperor Guangzhao said: "Okay, you all retreat first, I want to be quiet." ”
The three men withdrew.
After seeing the three of them walking away, Emperor Guangzhao instructed Gonggong Liu: "Go and call the judge." ”
Hearing that Emperor Guangzhao summoned him, the inquisitor immediately put the letter written by Yun into his pocket. followed Gonggong Liu to the Zichen Palace.
"Let's tell me the ins and outs of Shen Xizhen's case." Emperor Guangzhao looked at him and said.
The inquisitor then told Emperor Guangzhao the whole story of the matter, and presented the letter from Yun.
After reading the letter, Emperor Guangzhao's hands trembled unconsciously, and his chest also wanted to be suffocated.
And so it turned out!
Emperor Guangzhao remembered what he heard Liu Shijian say to Empress Wenci when he went to Ciyuan Palace that day: "Then the afternoon after tomorrow." I knew that this matter was inseparable from Liu Shiji.
Very good. Lord Protector, I finally have a reason to dispose of you. Emperor Guangzhao's mood suddenly had a sense of brightness.
Emperor Guangzhao rewarded the inquisitor.
"I will give Miss Shen's case a verdict in two days, you can go back first." Emperor Guangzhao waved his hand at him.
……………………
Although Emperor Guangzhao's favorite rice porridge and fried cashew nuts with sugar came up in front of him, Emperor Guangzhao had lost the slightest appetite since reading the letter.
He was lost in thought.
The matter is already clear - eighteen years ago, Empress Wenci asked Yun to perform a curse spell on Lazagina, and eighteen years later she asked Yun to attack him, the former was to harm Lazagina and Chu Zihou, and the latter was to prevent the union of Chu Zihou and Shen Xizhen. In order to reduce Chu Zihou's ability to compete for the throne. And the people that Empress Wenci had to deal with were the favorite people in Emperor Guangzhao's heart, so these actions of Empress Wenci deeply hurt his heart.
thought of having to separate from Lazakina and Chu Zihou because of this, and thought of Shen Xizhen, who was unjustly imprisoned for this. Emperor Guangzhao's heart couldn't help but feel a chill.
Emperor Guangzhao immediately asked Gonggong Liu to invite Empress Wenci over.
At the same time, someone was sent to arrest Liu Shiji.
Seeing Gonggong Liu come in, Empress Wenci, who was dressing up, slowly stood up.
She looked back at herself in a glass, and suddenly felt that her figure was so lonely, and she couldn't help but redden.
"Prince. My child. That's all I can do for you. I don't know if I'll involve you in the future, but I'll try to intercede for you. She said silently in her heart, walking towards the Zichen Hall with heavy steps.
……………………
Chu Zihou secretly met with General Ji Qing and asked him to withdraw his army.
"The emperor is awake, forget about this matter." Chu Zihou said to General Ji.
"Aren't you going to report it to the emperor?" General Ji was slightly surprised. After all, such a big thing as usurping the throne is not so easy to hide.
"No, I want to give the prince a chance." Chu Zihou stood up and said.
He knew very well that if he reported the usurpation of the crown prince to his father. Even if the prince does not go to prison, he will definitely be placed under house arrest or sent to the border, which is not what he wants to see.
"King Qingping really values affection. Ji admires! But aren't you worried that he's going to rebel tonight? ”
"I'll find a way to stop him."
"Then, Ji will obey your orders and withdraw his troops secretly."
"Thank you! It's hard work. ”
Chu Zihou bowed his hand to him.
…………………………
After returning from General Ji, Chu Zihou went directly to the East Palace to find the prince.
"Brother, if I win this bet, your action tonight will have to be reversed." Chu Zihou looked at the prince with a sad face and said.
The prince looked up at him, his face visibly disgusted.
After a long time, the prince said, "What if I just don't revoke it?" This is his deliberately angry words, in fact, he has long asked Liu Shipai to inform everyone to cancel tonight's action.
"Then, I will tell my father about this as it is."
The prince stared at him for a long time, then suddenly looked up and laughed and said, "You can go." ”
"I won't leave until I get a clear answer from you."
The prince turned his head to look at him again, and said coldly, "Then I want to thank you." ”
"No, I just want to tell you - I know you didn't do it on your own intent, so I want to let you go once. And because you're my brother. ”
Hearing the word 'brother', the prince's eyes instantly moistened.
"I have taken note of your favor, thank you! You go, I want to be quiet. ”
"Okay." Chu Zihou then turned around and left.
The prince looked at his figure and sighed slightly. (To be continued......)
