Chapter 375: Give Me Back My Life
The people sent by the emperor to investigate who was behind the smear of King Qin have not been able to find out anything, and the emperor is so angry that he blows his beard and glares at him.
Qin Dong told the king of Qin the news, and the king of Qin sneered and said, "Since they can't find out, then this king will help them, Qin Dong, you let our people throw some clues to them without a trace." ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen has found some clues." The deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, who was sent by the emperor to investigate rumors about King Qin, knelt in front of the emperor and said.
The emperor was originally in the imperial study to approve the chapter, but when he heard the words of the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, he raised his head and asked, "Get up, what is the clue?" Who did it? ”
"Back to the emperor, the news has never been spread from the Central Palace." The deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard lowered his head and said, the corner of his eye secretly observing the emperor's face.
Seeing that the emperor's face sank suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Weiyang Palace!" Are you sure it was from the Queen's side? ”
"Back to the emperor, Weichen can't be sure whether it is from the queen's mother, but only from Weiyang Palace." The deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard said.
"Humph! Go down. This matter is kept secret and cannot be known to the King of Qin. The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice.
Seeing the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard walking out, he "snapped" and put down the pen in his hand, "Li, you are so bold!" ”
After speaking, let the eunuchs set up the Weiyang Palace, and the eunuchs of the Weiyang Palace got the news of the emperor's arrival, and hurriedly spread the news that the queen had not seen the emperor for several days, and she hurriedly asked the palace maid to tidy up her makeup and go out to greet the emperor.
After saluting the emperor, the queen mother walked to the emperor's side, held the emperor's arm, and said in a coquettish voice: "Your Majesty, you haven't been to Weiyang Palace for a long time, and the concubine misses you so much!" ”
If this were in normal times, the emperor might be fascinated by her charming girl-like voice, but today he came with a belly of anger, and when he heard the queen's words, he only felt disgusted, and thought: This Li family is dozens of years old, and she is still pretending to be tender, she thinks that her baby voice is good, and he only feels so disgusting that goosebumps come out.
"Humph! Want me? Queen, do you think I will believe what you say? The emperor shook off the queen's hand and said coldly, not giving her a good face at all.
The queen mother was shocked by the emperor's actions and words, she thought that the emperor had set up the Weiyang Palace, he thought of her, and planned to spoil her tonight, who knew that the emperor would say such indifferent words to her.
She was stunned, looked at the emperor, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you have any misunderstanding about your concubine?" The concubine has been in Weiyang Palace these days, and she hasn't gone anywhere, I don't know what the concubine has done to make you unhappy? ”
"Humph! I haven't been in Weiyang Palace, and I didn't expect you to be so powerful, and you can spread rumors throughout the capital without going anywhere! The emperor glared at the queen angrily and said coldly.
Hearing this, the queen was anxious, and she thought to herself: Could it be that the emperor knows that the rumors about King Qin are her handiwork? No, it's impossible, the emperor can't know about it, she did it very secretively and didn't leave any evidence. For just a moment, her face returned to normal, and then she said to the emperor with an aggrieved face: "Your Majesty...... The concubines don't understand what the emperor said? What rumors, the concubines don't know what rumors at all. ”
"Humph! Load, you just keep loading! It seems that you will not give up until you reach the Yellow River! The emperor glared at the queen and said with a disappointed expression.
Of course, the queen knew that what the emperor said was a rumor that the king of Qin was inhumane, but she would never admit it, she knew deeply that if she admitted it, then her position as the queen would have to be given up, and this Weiyang Palace would no longer be her bedroom, and the place she was going to was the Cold Palace.
She lowered her head and said with a confused expression: "Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know what rumors the emperor said, and the concubines haven't spread any rumors at all!" ”
"Hmph, do you dare to say that you didn't let those rumors about King Qin go out?" The emperor snorted coldly and said.
"Your Majesty, there are no concubines, King Qin is the emperor's favorite prince, even if the concubines have ten guts, they don't dare to say nonsense behind King Qin's back." The queen continued to quibble.
"At this time, you still don't admit it, I have already found out that this rumor first spread from your Weiyang Palace! Do you still want to quibble? The emperor said coldly, his heart became more and more angry, and his eyes looked at the queen more and more unkindly.
The queen mother knew that if she didn't find a scapegoat for herself at this time, she might not be able to eliminate her suspicion, and she would not be able to make the emperor angry, so she glanced at the palace maid beside her.
The palace maid next to the queen has been waiting for her since she was a child, and when the queen entered the palace, she married and was very loyal to the queen.
She knelt in front of the emperor and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, this matter doesn't matter about the queen's mother, it was that the slave maid heard that Princess Qin was not pregnant that day, and said a word casually, knowing that the slave maid's unintentional words would be passed on by someone with a heart." Your Majesty, it's all the slave's fault, it's not about the queen's mother, if you want to punish the slave and maid! ”
The emperor listened to the words of the palace maid, glanced at her with wise eyes, and said coldly: "You are loyal to know that you are guilty of taking the blame for your master." Do you know what the prince should be guilty of talking about behind this? ”
"Ask the emperor to spare his life, ask the emperor to spare his life! The slave and maid will not dare in the future, and the slave and maid will definitely control their mouths in the future and will not talk nonsense anymore. The maid knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
The emperor is angry, how can he forgive her so easily? And he also knew in his heart that this palace maid was completely under the queen's obscenity, and had to stand up for the queen.
Because of this palace maid, he can't punish the queen heavily, at most he can just punish her for a crime of lax discipline, how can this dissipate his anger?
"Come on, drag it down, and kill it with a cane!" The emperor completely ignored the palace maid's pleas for mercy and coldly gave the order.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, the queen spoke, "Your Majesty, please be gracious, Xiaowen has been waiting by the concubine's side since she was a child, and she is like a sister with the concubine, begging the emperor to spare her life for the sake of the concubine." ”
"Humph! Spare her life? Okay, then you die for her! After the emperor finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
The emperor's ruthless words made the queen stunned, and she took a few steps back, almost falling to the ground, but fortunately, the palace maid behind her supported her. She watched Xiaowen being dragged away by the guards, and her eyes turned red.
But what could she do? She pleaded with the emperor, but the emperor not only didn't give her face, but also asked her to die for Xiaowen, her life is very precious, how can she die for a palace maid?
She sat down in her chair, her mind full of the emperor's back brushing his sleeves away. Her fists were clenched tightly, and her fingernails were pinched into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all, and she secretly made up her mind in her heart.
The emperor left the palace just now, and the king of Qin already knew that the emperor went to ask the queen Xingshi, but the king of Qin still underestimated the queen, although their people threw the clues to the emperor's people, and the emperor's people also found out that the rumor about the king of Qin was spread from the central palace, but the queen was still fine, but she just lost a palace maid, which can be described as painless for the queen.
The queen mother originally planned to propose to the emperor that in order to refute the rumors for King Qin, let King Qin marry two side concubines, but the emperor already knew that the news was spread by her Weiyang Palace, and now what she said in front of the emperor is not only useless, but may also anger the emperor and cause death, she can only suppress her previous thoughts.
She knew the ability of those people under the emperor, they were able to find out her head so quickly, which surprised her, she thought that she didn't have any tricks left, how did they know that she did it?
She sent her subordinates to investigate, she had to find out, what powerful people are happening around the emperor now?
"Queen Mother, the emperor handed over this matter to the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard to investigate, but he couldn't find anything, it was the people from Qingtian Pavilion who provided him with clues, and he found Weiyang Palace." The Queen's men returned.
"Optimus Pavilion? Is that the biggest killer organization in Huaxia Country? The queen asked.
She frowned, she didn't have anything to do with the Optimus Pavilion, why did this Optimus Pavilion suddenly intervene in this matter? She was puzzled.
Of course, she didn't know that the person she offended was the boss behind the Sky Pavilion, and how difficult her situation would be in the future.
After Cheng Xi and King Qin had let the Empress Mother and Concubine Rong spend a few nights quietly, they saw that the palace maids and eunuchs in their bedrooms had stopped keeping vigil, so they started another action.
That night, the palace maids, eunuchs and guards of Weiyang Palace were drugged and slept soundly, and this terrible sound came from outside the queen's bedroom, and a white figure floated in front of the queen's window, "Give me back my life, give me back my life.......
The queen mother was woken up by this terrible voice, she listened to this eerie voice, her heart was a little hairy, she shouted loudly to the palace maid, but no one came in, and the eerie voice became clearer and clearer, and the figure became clearer and clearer.
When the queen mother saw the face of the white figure, her face turned pale with fright, and she kept repeating a sentence in her mouth: "Queen, don't come, don't come, it's not me who killed you, it's Concubine Rong, it's Concubine Rong, it's she who poisoned you, she wants to kill you and the child in your belly, it's her, it's me!" ”
"Give me back my life, give me back my life......" The white figure has been lingering outside the queen's bedroom, and the eerie voice is endless.
At this time, a bright yellow figure appeared in the queen's bedroom, listening to everything the queen said.
