Chapter Seventy-Seven: Bearing Witness to the Heart
After hearing this, Yao Duran naturally understood what he meant. Dare Mo is now a person who is crumbling in the wind and rain? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but gloomy again: "Fengzhi, do you know who the person who assassinated me this time is?" ”
Speaking of this matter, Qiao Fengzhi was also full of complexity, and said: "Dye'er, the queen bribed the guards to assassinate, the evidence is conclusive, and she has been sent back to Beijing by His Majesty to be grounded." It's just that although this matter is simple on the surface, the truth behind it remains to be considered. ”
"What? Is it the Queen? Yao Duran was full of surprise, and immediately recalled his words, and said in confusion: "Fengzhi, you mean that on the surface, it seems that the queen did it, but in fact, it was framed by others behind it?" ”
Qiao Fengzhi sighed: "Dye'er, the world is unpredictable, sometimes, people who seem to have a motive to hurt you on the surface do not actually hurt your heart, and often the person who saves you is the one who started it." So, do you understand? ”
When Yao Duran heard this, he lost his voice and said, "It's King You!" No, no, it's King Cheng and King You! ”
Qiao Fengzhi was silent, gently blowing the medicine in the bowl.
Yao Duran pondered to herself, and felt more and more as if she was in a dark vortex. It turns out that a stable life is a luxury after all, and the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop.
Her expression was confused and helpless, Qiao Fengzhi couldn't bear to look at it, and said, "Dye'er, don't think about it, come, feed you medicine for your husband." Later, the green diaphragm will deliver the porridge. Once you have a full stomach, your mood will definitely be able to slow down. As he spoke, Qiao Fengzhi gently stroked her lower abdomen, and his silent movements reminded her that they still have good things to do, something to be happy about, isn't it?
……
The light night is getting thicker, and the moon shadow is mottled everywhere. Many rooms in the courtyard of the wing room are still brightly lit, and perhaps, there are more people who can't sleep tonight.
In the three-legged incense burner of the purple sand beast, slowly exudes curling sandalwood.
The small red clay stove next to the low table is also gurgling fragrant tea, mixed with tea and sandalwood, but it can't calm anyone's heart.
Yun Ce and Huo Jingcheng sat cross-legged across the table, one sword eyebrow slightly locked and drank again and again, and the other drank tea again and again.
"Your Highness, you drink slowly, the old minister can't pour the wine." Yun Ce said, simply pushing the flask in front of him.
Huo Jingcheng gently blew out a breath of wine, stopped talking, and simply raised his head and poured a glass again.
Seeing this, Yun Ce couldn't hold his breath anymore and said: "Your Highness, the old minister also knows what you want to ask, but although the old minister belongs to the princelings, after all, there is also His Majesty above, so today's matter, some of the old ministers can say it, and some can't say it." Especially the content of the letter, the old minister must not tell His Highness. Your Majesty trusted the old minister to give the letter to the old minister alone, the old minister can't turn his head and fall out, Your Highness, do you say this is the reason? ”
Huo Jingcheng put down his wine glass and filled it again: "That's it, what is the content of the letter, the palace will not ask." The main hall only asked Yun Xiang, is the queen mother of the main hall wronged or not wronged? ”
Yun Ce blew the floating leaves in the cup, and said with a firm opinion: "Today's matter, no one is wronged. King Cheng and King Youwang set up a palace in the bureau, and they were not wronged. The old accounts of the middle palace have been rediscovered, and they are not wronged. The only one who was wronged was Lao Chen's hard-working apprentice daughter-in-law. ”
Huo Jingcheng sighed slowly: "Yes, the struggle for imperial power is always so cruel, and innocent people are always implicated. So saying, he took a drink and asked, "Is that true?" Didn't you wronged the queen mother? ”
"Nope." Yun Ce shook his head slowly.
Huo Jingcheng's tone suddenly became intense: "How to prove it?" An assassination led to a suicide in fear of sin, and a suicide in the incense left a testament, which was originally a situation set up by the two kings! How can the evidence be credible? Besides, time has passed, and these old things can be said horizontally and vertically, so what evidence can prove that it was the queen mother's doing? ”
Yun Ce listened and smiled faintly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty's heart is the greatest evidence. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Yun Ce shook his fan slowly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has also said it himself, and he is not without doubts about many things in his heart, but now he has read the letter and confirmed it." Just like Lao Chen, who was drunk that year, and was thirsty in the middle of the night, he went to touch the cabinet next to the bed, and really touched a cup of herbal tea on it, so he drank half a cup of it, but after drinking, he lay back on the bed, and muttered in his heart, thinking that there were too many mosquitoes in summer, and I don't know how long the cup of tea had been placed. Thinking like this, I was unwilling to fall asleep, so I stumbled up and went to light the lamp, and when the room was lit, I looked into the teacup, and there were indeed several mosquitoes in it, and as for how many I drank them, I don't know. As for Your Majesty, the same is true. Therefore, the letter of Lianxiang is not so much to turn up the queen's old accounts, but to turn out His Majesty's doubts for many years, and then answer them one by one. And His Majesty thinks that these answers are correct. As for whether those answers were written by Lian Xiang himself or by others, it no longer mattered, because His Majesty was no longer willing to pursue this matter, so he resolutely killed the only three remaining assassins to close the case, not only cutting off all possibilities of overturning the case, but also making the unwilling people die to overturn the case. ”
After hearing this, Huo Jingcheng said lightly: "This matter is like a mirror, but the case was closed in such a hurry, and he didn't investigate it anymore, just to save his two sons." ”
Yun Ce added tea for him again, and said, "Your Highness, the old minister also wants to persuade you to give up the Middle Palace." The number of the middle palace is like this, and no one can save it. His Royal Highness didn't know the contents of the letter in detail, but the old minister read those things...... Hey, after all, Your Majesty will not forgive, the general trend of the Middle Palace has gone. ”
Huo Jingcheng sat opposite him, drunk stubbornly, drunk stubbornly, at this time, the drunkenness was up, suddenly out of control, slammed his fist on the table, and said indignantly: "The palace doesn't understand!" Why did King Cheng and King You want to charge up and knock down the Middle Palace! Aren't they more to deal with the main temple? When the palace knew that King Cheng abandoned the battle and went down the mountain to hunt, he had already expected that they were going to set up a game with Mrs. Qiao! Because this year, Jing Rou loves Qiao Fengzhi, so she has this opportunity and reason! And King Cheng has always been competitive, and he can win for three consecutive years, but this year he suddenly gave up the battle and hunted with the women, he must have made a move! It's just that the main hall originally thought that they would target the main hall, after all, there is also a saying that the elder brother killed and took the husband for his sister. It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, this disaster fell on the head of the queen mother. ”
After hearing this, Yun Ce said eloquently: "Your Highness, because you are already full-fledged, it is difficult to hit with one blow." Therefore, King Cheng and King You can only cut off their wings first and then attack them. Secondly, after reading the letter from Lianxiang, the old minister finally understood that the two princes had always had an inexplicable hatred for the queen. Then, this assassination of the official's wife is an introduction, and this introduction is used to draw out the old accounts of the queen's mother, and a fatal move under several crimes. Also, the assassination of Mrs. Qiao is also intended to separate Fengzhi from His Royal Highness, you must know that Fengzhi is still a disciple of an old minister, and being separated from Fengzhi is equivalent to dividing an old minister. In addition, Feng Zhicai rejected the princess, and at this time, there was a scene of murder and husbandry, which really added fuel to the fire. Therefore, the move of the king, removing the queen's backer, beheading His Royal Highness's henchmen, and avenging personal revenge, is really a good move. And you and I don't know the truth, but we are helpless. ”
Huo Jingcheng was surprised: "What? Do the two of them have an inexplicable hatred for their mother? ”
Yun Ce nodded slowly: "It is indeed an insoluble hatred, and it is almost incompatible." It's also difficult for the two princes, who have pretended to be obedient in front of the queen all these years, but who knows that they are secretly sharpening their guns and swords. ”
Huo Jingcheng's alcohol became more and more vigorous, his head became dizzy, and he asked, "What kind of insoluble hatred is it?" ”
Yun Ce was silent, and brought a teapot from the small red clay stove to refill the tea for him, and said, "After drinking this cup of tea, Your Highness should go back and rest." For the rest of the month, everything is business as usual, but your Highness must remember ......"
As soon as he said this, he was suddenly interrupted by a movement from the courtyard. The two listened carefully, as if it was the sound of a fight, accompanied by the noise of the woman's chirping, which seemed to be quite noisy.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
After the attendant came in, he reported in a panic: "Your Highness, go and have a look!" The beating and scolding in the courtyard are getting more and more chaotic! ”
Huo Jingcheng frowned: "Say it clearly!" Who hit and who scolded? ”
The attendant said: "Back to His Royal Highness, Princess Roufu was drunk, went to His Royal Highness King Cheng to settle accounts, and then quarreled with Princess Cheng, this quarrel and quarrel, His Royal Highness's side concubine also added it." In the end, Master Jia also rushed over, and his words were not right, and he started to work with His Royal Highness King You. Your Highness, go and take care of it. It's not good to provoke Your Majesty. ”
When Huo Jingcheng heard this, he put down the teacup heavily, got up and walked out, and when he first arrived at the door, he remembered something, and stopped and asked, "Yunxiang, what did you just say, what do you want this hall to remember?" ”
Yun Ce sighed: "Hey! The old minister wants to say that His Royal Highness must remember to appease his brothers and sisters, and don't let them make trouble at this juncture, who knows that it is too late! ”
After listening to this, Huo Jingcheng turned around and went out. When I arrived in the hospital, it was noisy. In the distance, I saw several figures standing entangled in the night, accompanied by the woman's scolding. Huo Jingcheng listened as he approached, but it seemed that his side concubine had the loudest voice and scolded the most.
Huo Jingcheng said in her heart, she finally seized the opportunity to vent her anger. As early as four years ago, when Princess Cheng was sixteen years old, her father originally intended to marry her into the East Palace, and he, but all the famous ladies with a little family background behind him did not refuse. Later, Princess Na Cheng married King Cheng, and the husband and wife were affectionate, and they raised their eyebrows. This little episode in the past has been forgotten by everyone.
It's just that he didn't expect that his concubine still remembered that Princess Cheng had a tacit understanding with him, and just a little spark was bubbling here, and she poured a basin of hot oil on it.
After thinking about it, the people also came to the front. When I took a closer look, I saw Huo Jingyao riding on Jia Shuyan's body and swinging his fist, Jia Shuyan didn't dare to fight back and dodge again and again. Looking at Huo Jingrou again, her cheeks were red, the beads were tilted, she was indeed drunk, she was arguing with Princess Cheng, and scolded Jia Shuyan on the ground: "The surname is Jia!" You're a worthless one! What's wrong with you flipped up and hit him? Can't you just be a man once? You fight back! Hit! If I can beat him, I'll ...... I'll remarry you!" ”
