Chapter 295
In the Qianqing Palace, the orthodox emperor was resting on the imperial couch. He is old, his energy is gradually declining, and he can only rely on the pill given by Zhang Tianshi to support, because Yi Guifei is pregnant, and the rumor that the feng shui of the Forbidden City is not good is broken, the emperor is very happy, but he can't support the banquet for a long time and feels tired.
He was in a daze on the couch when he heard a commotion outside, and Orthodoxy was awakened. He frowned, his heart was very unhappy, and he asked in a calm voice, "What's wrong?" Noisy and yelling! โ
A chief attendant picked up the curtain and came in from outside, opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of white air, and knelt on the ground with a slightly ugly face: "Your Majesty, the five-colored soil enshrined in the Sheji Altar has been stolen!" โ
Orthodoxy was taken aback: "What did you say? โ
"Zhou Li Examination Gongji" has a cloud "left ancestor right society", the ancestor refers to the "Taimiao", the society refers to the "Sheji Altar", the Taimiao and the Sheji Altar one is located in the east of the palace, the other is located in the west of the palace, symbolizing the arch guard of the clan power and divine power to the imperial power.
Therefore, the shrine is one of the most important buildings in the imperial city. The five-colored soil is enshrined on the altar of Sheji, and the middle yellow, the east green, the south red, the west white, and the north black symbolize the national land, which represents the \\\\\\\\\\\\\\ meaning of "the whole world is not the king's land".
This five-colored soil is a symbolic thing, if you want to say that it is worth a thousand dollars, if you want to say that it is not worth it, it is also worthless. How could anyone go out of their way to steal such a thing?
Isn't this full of food? The head of the guard couldn't help but think!
The emperor inquired, and he said it again, "...... Someone took advantage of the drunkenness of the guards and the lax guards, and sneaked into the Sheji altar to steal the five-color soil! โ
The five-colored soil symbolizes the heart of the world, the monarch's divine power, the orthodox as the Son of Heaven has always been extremely reverent of heaven and earth, and today happens to be the first day of the first month, and the loss of the five-colored soil is not equivalent to losing the world? Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in my heart. His face turned gloomy, "Have you ever gotten the thief who stole the five-colored soil?" โ
The chief of the inner servant: "Gonggong Chen sent someone to chase after him, the thief fled into the inner garden in a panic, Gonggong Chen has sent someone to block the inner palace, and he has searched the three major halls but he has not seen the shadow of the thief, the thief, I am afraid that he has entered the harem!" Gonggong Chen didn't dare to go in and search privately, and the special slave came to ask the emperor for instructions! โ
The harem is inhabited by the emperor's concubines, and although Chen Jia is favored, he does not dare to be so unscrupulous.
Orthodox eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of hideousness flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand without hesitation: "You go and tell Chen Jia to tell him to do a good job for me, even if the thief hides in the Kunning Palace, I will also find him out." When he finishes this trip, I will naturally reward him. โ
The dispute between the crown prince and the king of Zhao is becoming more and more intense, and the orthodoxy is even more and more unconscious, and he is becoming more and more uneasy about his two sons, so the palace garrison has been handed over to the most trusted Chen Jia to take care of, and Chen Jia is so busy at this time that he doesn't even have the opportunity to wait by his side.
The chief of the inner chamberlain breathed a sigh of relief when he got the emperor's command, and hurriedly went to pass the message to Chen Jia, who was outside the three major halls, although the orthodoxy was very sleepy, he was no longer sleepy at the moment. He summoned the little chamberlain to come in and dress him, and paced slowly in the empty hall alone.
He couldn't figure out what the thief was trying to do when he stole the five-colored soil? Besides, the harem is heavily guarded, and ordinary people can't hide in the harem even if they want to hide, this thief should be a eunuch, and he is quite familiar with the harem. Then his master may be someone in the harem!
Orthodoxy smells of conspiracy! I couldn't help but get even more irritable. In the Baohe Palace, the ministers of civil and military affairs and the royal family are all included, if something happens to this, where will the royal face go? hurriedly sent a eunuch to see the situation in the Baohe Palace.
He waited in the main hall for half an hour, and a small chamberlain reported that Gonggong Chen was coming. Zhengzheng didn't expect Chen Jia to come, and hurriedly said, "Call him in!" โ
Chen Jia hurriedly walked in, and orthodox saw that he was sweating profusely on a cold day, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He asked softly, "Can the thief who stole the five-colored soil get it?" โ
"Back to the emperor, the thief has already gotten it!"
Orthodoxy breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Well done!" Where did the thief get it? โ
After the orthodox question finished this sentence, Chen Jia, who was kneeling down, did not move. Orthodoxy was slightly strange, and asked in a loud voice, "Chen Jia?" โ
Chen Jia had some period of Ai Ai, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the slave, the slave dare not say!" โ
Orthodoxy was mistaken, and said with a smile: "Look at your little guts, did the thief really escape to Kunning Palace?" Don't worry, I am in charge of you, and the queen will not blame you! โ
Chen Jia glanced up at the emperor, then gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind and said: "Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, the slave is the thief who got it in the Xianfu Palace!" โ
Orthodoxy was taken aback and pondered: "Xianfu Palace is inaccessible, and it is understandable that thieves fled in that direction. It's good that you are not frightened, right? โ
Chen Jia said: "Slave, the slave didn't see the noble concubine, the slave caught a prince's close attendant in the Xianfu Palace!" The slave didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly came back and reported to His Majesty! โ
I saw the prince's chamberlain in Xianfu Palace, doesn't that mean that the prince is also in Xianfu Palace! At this hour, what will the prince do in Xianfu Palace? Isn't that self-evident?
Thinking that this Yi Gui Concubine was originally offered by the crown prince, the emperor only felt that a stream of blood rushed to the top of his head, and his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty!" Chen Jia hurriedly stepped up and helped the emperor.
The emperor's face was pale, and he trembled and said, "Rebel, this rebel!" โ
Chen Jiadao: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty's body is tied to the safety of the world, please take care of the dragon's body!" Chen Jia gently stroked his chest, and Orthodoxy calmed down a little.
"The slave has already sent someone to take care of all the people in the Xianfu Palace, and asked someone to seal the Xianfu Palace! It's just that the slave didn't dare to enter the mother's bedroom, Your Majesty, look at this...... "How should it end next?"
The prince had an affair with his mother-in-law as a son, this kind of thing is against human morality, if it is exposed, it will be a big scandal, and Chen Jia's handling is very measured.
The Orthodox Emperor sneered, "Okay, I'll go with you to Xianfu Palace, and I want to see the good things they have done!" โ
Orthodoxy angrily took a group of eunuchs and guards to the Xianfu Palace.
There was no figure near the left side of Xianfu Palace, only a few guards with knives guarding the palace gate, far away from the palace gate. Seeing that the emperor all knelt down to greet each other and entered the palace, it was even more clear and quiet, not to mention people, not even a mouse.
Chen Jia whispered: "Your Majesty, the servants of Xianfu Palace have already checked it, only the main hall where Yigui and Concubine Yi live have not gone in to check. โ
In fact, there is no need to check at all, standing at the door of the main hall, you can faintly hear the sound of ** coming from inside. No matter how cowardly orthodoxy is, after all, he is the lord of a country rich all over the world, and there is a fierce murderous intent in his eyes. The door of the main hall was hidden from the inside, and the orthodox commanded: "Smash the door of the temple open for me!" โ
This time, those who came in with orthodoxy, except for Chen Jia, were trusted eunuchs, and there were a few close guards to the emperor, although they were eunuchs, they were all top masters, and they easily kicked the door open.
The orthodox emperor went first. In the deep hall, there is a very huge bed, and the orthodox emperor has not pampered Yi Guifei on this bed, but now in the red embroidered gold bedding, there are two people, a man and a woman, who heard the sound and looked out together, Yi Guifei saw that the person outside turned out to be the emperor, and her face suddenly became pale. I opened my mouth, but I couldn't even make a sound. The prince's eyes were slightly dull, as if he hadn't seen the emperor.
The orthodox emperor only felt a deep sense of shame welling up in his heart, and his son actually climbed into his concubine's bed. His eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and he roared, "Brute! Rushing over like crazy, he kicked the prince in the back of the heart.
When he was young, Orthodoxy was also skilled in bowing horses, but now as he gets older, he has long been returned to the teacher of the year. However, this kick was full of hatred, and it still kicked the prince inward. The quilt was taken away, and the orthodox found that the top of the futon was already red.
Chen Jia exclaimed; "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi has miscarriage!"
Orthodoxy was dizzy by the blinding red. It has been too long since a child has been born in the palace, and I thought that Concubine Yigui was pregnant with a dragon seed to break this curse, but I didn't expect her to mess around with the prince with a big belly, and she actually dropped the child.
The emperor's eyes shot a look of incomparably disgusted, and he shook his hands and feet and said, "Crazy! It's insane! Don't separate them yet! The two eunuchs went up and separated the two of them, and Concubine Yi seemed to have found out that she had a miscarriage now, and screamed: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, and the concubine doesn't know what is going on!" โ
What she said is true, today the queen exempted her from attending the banquet and told her to stay in the palace to raise the baby, she ate lunch and began to sleep, I don't know how Lu Dao slept very groggy, she seemed to be in her sleep with the prince in her sleep, she thought she was dreaming in a daze!
She didn't wake up until the emperor entered the palace gate, but it seemed a little too late to say anything at this time! Only then did she feel a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, and she was shocked to realize that she had miscarried. Frightened, he screamed.
"You slut! You seduced the prince and prostituted yourself during the day, so that the fetus in the womb was misborn, this is all what I saw with my own eyes, and you still have to quibble! โ
Concubine Yi Gui was still struggling in the hands of the eunuch naked, "The emperor spares his life!" I beg the emperor to spare my life for the sake of the child! There is no personal affection between the concubine and the prince! Please ask the emperor to check clearly! โ
It's okay if she doesn't say it, the more she talks about the emperor, the more angry she becomes. originally thought that she was pregnant with her own child, but now that she thinks about it, it must be the prince's evil seed. She wore such a green hat for herself, and hated herself for giving her such grace, rewarding and elevating her, and it was ridiculous to think about herself.
"Kid? Do you still dare to mention children? The baby in your womb is not mine at all! โ
Concubine Yi only felt like five thunderbolts, and was still arguing: "The concubine has been resting in the palace in the afternoon, and I don't know when Prince Lu Dao came!" Your Majesty, it's not a concubine who seduces the prince! "Who knows why Prince Lu Dao was so bold and dared to climb into her bed.
She's wronged too!
The prince's clothes were scattered all over the hall, and Chen Jia suddenly saw a letterhead on the ground, so he bent down to pick it up and handed it to the orthodox hand: "Your Majesty, please look!" โ
I saw eight words written on it: "See you in the palace, tell each other!" "That Juanxiu's font is orthodox and just right, and it is undoubtedly the word of Yi Gui Concubine. Orthodoxy threw the letterhead in front of Yi Guifei: "Slut! What else do you have to say! โ
Yi Guifei trembled and picked up the letterhead, and immediately looked dead after reading it. "Someone must have framed the concubine, someone must have framed the concubine!" She said incoherently, but she didn't dare to say Concubine Xiao out. Because she clearly remembered that Concubine Xiao had only called someone to tell her two days ago that her younger brothers and sisters had all been taken to Daxing's Zhuangzi by Concubine Xiao. She clearly knew that she was dead, and if she bit Concubine Xiao out now, her relatives would also be doomed.
What's more, when she thinks about it now, she understands that even if she bites out Concubine Xiao, the emperor will not believe her. Because from beginning to end, Concubine Xiao never said an inappropriate word to her, and there was no handle for her to hold in her hands.
The orthodox emperor said hatefully: "The evidence is ironclad, you still dare to quibble!" โ
Chen Jia suddenly knelt down and said boldly: "Your Majesty, your concubine, you can't stay!" "This kind of thing is going out, and it's really bad for the emperor's reputation.
The orthodox emperor said coldly: "You are right, I will give her a white silk!" He pointed to the two eunuchs who were with him: "Wait for her to go on her way." He said majestically: "You remember, Concubine Yi had a sudden miscarriage, and she didn't have time to ask for a doctor, and the adults and children were not saved!" โ
Concubine Yi Gui was already too weak to give birth, and when she heard this, she was already paralyzed into a pile of mud. Repeatedly, he only said: "I didn't do anything, the emperor spared my life!" I didn't do anything, the emperor spared my life! โ
Chen Jia asked again: "Then the prince, what should I do?" "The prince was kicked in the back of the heart by the orthodox just now, and he had already fainted, but he escaped the orthodox thunderous rage.
"What is the use of such a disloyal, unfilial, and disobedient beast, immediately dragged out of the body and executed!"
If the crown prince is dead, it will be abolished, and the future troubles will be removed, which will naturally be the best result for King Zhao and his party. Who knew that Chen Jia spoke out against it at this time: "Your Majesty can't do it!" The crown prince is the prince of the country, and such an unexplained execution may shake the world and make the subjects panic! Your Majesty thinks twice! โ
Orthodoxy is just a sentence of anger, he has only raised such three sons in his life, the prince is no longer good, he still has a father-son relationship with the prince, which is why he was already disappointed in the prince, but he has been unwilling to abolish the prince.
is afraid that the new monarch will ascend the throne in the future and ruin the prince's life.
Saying this, the orthodoxy also restrained a little anger, and thought for a while: "โกโก the crown prince in Huairen Hall, no one is allowed to visit without my order." After a pause, he said word by word: "This rebel son is no longer worthy of being a prince, I want to tell the world that the prince will be abolished!" โ
The palace banquet on this day was as usual, and Chen Jia did not bring anyone to search for Kunning Palace. Yulan always felt that his thoughts didn't belong, as if something big had happened.
finally survived until the banquet was over, and the adults who left the palace were all calm, and Yulan felt a sigh in his heart. Yulan saw Ye Yichen outside the Shenwu Gate. The moment she saw her husband, Yulan's uneasy heart suddenly settled down.
Ye Yichen took Ye Minwen's hand, his face sank like water, and Yulan just asked, "Lord Wang, what's wrong?" A soothing voice came from behind him: "Sister-in-law, if you don't mind, can you lend the sixteenth brother to the younger brother for a while!" โ
"Uncle Seventeen!" Yulan turned around and saluted. Ye Fengqi and Yulan greeted each other and said to Ye Yichen: "Sixteenth brother, come and sit in my car!" "The atmosphere in the palace is not right today, Ye Yichen felt it, but he didn't know the details of the road, Ye Fengqi was the most well-informed, and he must have something important to say to him.
He nodded and gently instructed Yulan: "You take Wen'er back first." I'll have a few words with Brother Seventeen! โ
Although Yulan had something to ask, she nodded very obediently and took Ye Minwen into the carriage.
When the carriage was about to arrive at the palace, Ye Yichen followed. Lifting the curtain and coming in, Yulan first poured a cup of tea and handed it to the prince. Ye Yichen's originally grim face as frozen as much eased a lot, he took a sip of tea lightly, and found that Yulan didn't ask anything, just looked at him with trust.
His heart is warm. One mouth is earth-shattering: "This time, the prince is afraid that it will be completely finished!" โ
Yulan was really dizzy by the news, and it took a long time to find her voice: "Then, Eighth Sister, what should I do?" "The crown prince has fallen, how will she, the crown princess, deal with herself?
