Chapter 362: Decisive Victory in the Court
A strong smell of grass poured into his nose, and the man on the couch woke up slowly, he moved slightly, but found that his hands and feet had been bound.
"Hmm...... Hmm...... "Where is this?!" Dongfang Rui tried hard to recall what happened before, how did he get to this place. It was a very rudimentary room, with nothing but this couch, and it was empty, except for the dilapidated windows that had been sealed.
At this time, there was a sound of unlocking outside the door, and a tall figure stepped in, and the other party covered half of his face with a black cloth, "Awake?" ”
This voice made Dongfang Rui feel a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while.
"Hmm......" Dongfang Rui watched his movements vigilantly, the other party walked to the couch, specially checked the ropes on his hands and feet, and then ripped off the dry cloth blocking Dongfang Rui.
"Who are you? What is the purpose of bringing this prince captive here? ”
The other party's sharp gaze stared at Dongfang Rui's eyes tightly, and then a ruthless voice sounded, "For the future of Chenguo, Your Highness, I have wronged you." ”
"What? You...... Hmm...... the other party once again re-plugged the dry cloth, turned around and left the room without looking back, and then closed the door and locked it.
"Master Hou, what should I do with the second prince now?"
Outside the door, the Marquis of Changrong stared at the thatched hut in front of him, as if he was hesitating to make a decision.
At the same time, in the cold palace.
"Niangniang, the dead man reported that he couldn't find any trace of His Second Highness......"
Concubine Mei's face was like frost, she never thought that Dongfang Rui would let the other party succeed so carelessly, she obviously sent a few dead soldiers to protect him in the dark, how could such a thing happen!
"Keep looking!"
"Mother, that ......"
"Hongu will not let anything get in the way of our great things! Hongu has been waiting for more than ten years, and I can't wait any longer! Concubine Mei held her white gauze skirt tightly, the green tendons on the back of her white hands protruded, and her eyes burned with uncontrollable anger.
"But Niangniang, I haven't got the support of Emperor Xiao yet......"
"Hmph, Emperor Xiao is afraid that he doesn't have much ability, and he still needs to borrow the hand of the palace to get the head of the gold medal craftsman, and now, the palace can't wait for support! Anyway, the arrow has to be sent! "Now that Rui'er is missing, the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for herself!
Yes, she won't let anyone stand in her way!
On the True Dragon Palace, a group of people appeared in everyone's sight, causing an uproar in an instant. The leader was a white-haired old man, his white beard swaying slightly in the wind, and his body exuded a bit of the smell of fairy wind bones.
"Ah, isn't this the eldest grandson?! Didn't he say goodbye to his old man and return to his hometown? ”
"Ah...... That's the prince of Changle, hasn't he lived in seclusion for many years?! ”
After the bead curtain, even the Queen Mother couldn't help but open the curtain, "Eldest grandson, Prince Changle, what kind of wind is blowing you two here today." ”
These two played a pivotal role in the court back then, the eldest grandson Taifu was the mentor of the first emperor Emperor Chen, many years ago suddenly returned to his hometown, there were rumors about him in the court, and Changle Wang Ye was the brother of the emperor, if he hadn't let Xian, I am afraid that it would not be Emperor Chen who ascended the throne. They have not asked about the world for many years, and now they suddenly appeared, which made the ministers feel that something was wrong.
"It's about my country, I have missed it once back then, I can't make a mistake again and again, today, I and the prince are just to correct the country and expose the truth of the year!" The eldest grandson Taifu swept his eyebrows, and the queen mother's eyes flashed, and her face was extremely ugly.
"I wonder where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now? But don't you dare to confront us? "Although the prince of Changle is old, he is still full of energy.
At this time, a bright yellow figure slowly walked out of the apse, with a calm gaze on his face, and saluted the two of them, "The eldest grandson is polite, and the prince of Changle is polite!" ”
"The prince doesn't need to be many days, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness will also know the purpose of my coming today. Now Chen Guo is facing internal and external troubles, the first emperor died, there must be someone to lead the dragons, we saw the first emperor make mistakes, for the sum of the four seas, had to conceal the truth, but we have been condemned by conscience for many years, this time entrusted by the deceased, so reappear in the court, for the mistakes we made back then, to make compensation! ”
The words of the Marquis of Changle are like a boulder falling into the lake, stirring up a thousand waves.
"Could it be that you want to talk about the fake transmission of the holy decree by Empress Chen back then?"
"Yes! This crown prince originally belonged to the second prince! ”
The eldest grandson Taifu took a step forward, raised his hand slightly, and everyone immediately quieted down, at this time, the sound of the wheelchair from far and near was very clear, and everyone immediately looked outside the hall, the thin figure that slowly appeared in the sight.
"Huh?! That, that's not ......"
"Concubine Mei Niangniang......"
"Princess ...... Lotus Country"
"What's going on, wasn't Concubine Mei executed back then?" The ministers who didn't know the truth couldn't believe their eyes at the moment, but their eyes stayed on Concubine Mei's unparalleled face for a long time, and they couldn't extricate themselves.
When the Queen Mother on the seat saw this face again, it was difficult to suppress the anger in her heart. This slut! She still dares to appear on this True Dragon Palace!
Concubine Mei's cold eyes glanced at the Queen Mother lightly, and sneered in her heart, this old woman has been ordering people to assassinate herself these days, but unfortunately, she Concubine Mei never put those kittens in her eyes, and she couldn't kill herself back then, let alone now.
A sad expression appeared on her face, "Yes, this palace should have died unjustly many years ago, but God has mercy and let this palace survive, just for today!" In order to give Hongu a chance to avenge his grievances! ”
This hoarse voice surprised everyone, those who have seen Concubine Mei still remember that unmatched beautiful face, as well as the melodious voice of the yellow warbler, but now, this hoarse voice is like a ten-year-old woman, unbearable.
"Back then, in order to compete for the throne, the queen blamed the palace and deceived the emperor! However, the emperor couldn't bear it and was unwilling to kill the killer, so the queen colluded with the people of the Nalan family, broke the legs of the palace, and set a fire! However, Bengu did not die in that fire as she wished, but it burned Bengong's throat, and over the years, Bengu has suffered from broken legs, and only hopes that one day the world can see the true face of the queen! Concubine Mei's sentences were sonorous and powerful, and the ministers thought that she had already been executed, but now that she was alive, it became the most favorable evidence.
"There is no basis for words! How can you prove that you have been wronged?! "Someone has their own doubts.
The eldest grandson Taifu was full of regret, "Hey, when Concubine Mei and the queen gave birth to a prince at the same time, the emperor secretly summoned the prince and the prince to the imperial study. We can all testify that the emperor wants to make Concubine Mei the queen and the second prince the crown prince, and that holy decree was written that day! ”
How can it be...... Then, today's prince is really unjustifiable!
"Everyone in the world knows that this palace is red and bad, but they don't know how much this palace has paid because of this face! The emperor treats the palace well and does not want to kill it all, and the queen mother is also deceived by the queen and regards the palace as a snake and scorpion, and now it is ...... The main palace didn't even see the last side of the emperor, it was the main palace...... It's the emperor! ”
"Why did Concubine Mei say this?!" Someone discovered the deep meaning of Concubine Mei's words.
"How could the emperor suddenly become seriously ill, isn't it the queen's old tricks, for fear that the return of the Second Highness will expose the truth of the year and expose her conspiracy, and the emperor will not go west in his prime......" Concubine Mei stretched out her hand and wiped the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes, and everyone's faces suddenly changed.
So, the emperor suddenly fell seriously ill, is it the queen's hand? It's like back then, when the queen wronged Concubine Mei for poisoning the emperor!
For a while, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Dongfang Xu with strange looks, and there was more blame and contempt in their eyes.
Prime Minister Ji Jin, who had been quiet, took his eyes back from Concubine Mei's face, although he didn't know the truth back then, but according to the evidence presented now, it was indeed extremely unfavorable to the prince. It's just that he doesn't understand why the eldest grandson, Taifu and Wangye, who have been in seclusion for many years, decided to help Concubine Mei testify, these two heavyweights are undoubtedly ironclad evidence today, and no one will doubt their words.
At least over the years, the emperor has never said in front of him that he regrets making Dongfang Xu the crown prince.
At this moment, a loud applause made the surroundings suddenly quiet.
The Queen Mother smiled, and smiled so deeply. She clapped her palms and slowly walked up the steps. "I haven't seen her for many years, Concubine Mei is still so sharp-tongued, even the mourners will wonder if they made the wrong decision in the first place."
Concubine Mei raised her head slightly, what does this old woman want to say so far?
"Red face and trouble, this sentence, the mourning family remembers back then, it was the eldest grandson Taifu who said it, right?"
The eldest grandson's face changed, but he moved his gaze elsewhere.
"Hey, what's wrong with Taifu's hands?" As soon as the Queen Mother said this, everyone saw that the Taifu retracted his hand into his sleeve. What's hidden inside?
"Lord, I haven't seen you for many years, the mourning family really has a lot of things to say to the prince, but when I never thought of meeting again, the prince wanted to drag the beloved grandson of the mourning family into the water."
"Queen Mother, the crown prince's name is not right, so naturally he can't sit on his throne." Prince Changle did not have any handle in the hands of the Queen Mother, his eyes were open, and he was not afraid of the other party's temptation.
I saw the Queen Mother slowly wandering on the steps, she looked at the white sideburns of Prince Changle, and seemed to hesitate whether to speak.
"The mourning family suddenly remembered the words that the prince sighed when he faced Concubine Mei's fairy dance, I was born before I was born, and I am old when you were born."
Prince Changle's eyes flashed, but Ji Jin, who was closest to him, noticed this slight abnormality, and his eyes drifted to the beautiful woman, so it was......
Everything is nothing more than a love word, how many heroes are defeated by a love word, and how many people are blinded by this word.
Lord Changle may just be a blinded pawn in this struggle
