Chapter Seventy-Six: Marching into the Imperial City
In the past, the emperor never cared about the affairs of the harem, and no one knew that the death of a little palace maid could make such a big fuss.
In any case, it is important to save your life, Yue'er walked up to the main hall with a nervous heart.
"Slaves and maids knock to see the emperor!" Before she knelt on the ground, she didn't forget to glance at the emperor's expression, and it was indispensable to accompany the king like a tiger, and it was essential to observe words and looks.
Wei Tianyue sat on the dragon chair and looked at her steadily, even the black-clothed guard next to him stared at her with murderous eyes in his eyes, and he didn't leave her for a moment, Yue'er felt that those eyes seemed to capture her every move, so that Yue'er felt that any subtle change in her facial expression would be clearly perceived by the black-clothed guard, and her heart became more and more empty.
"Courage is commendable! Tell me, what do you see? "What you see naturally refers to what happened in front of Yu'er.
"It's a slave, it's not right! It's a slave, it's not right! Beg! Ask the emperor for mercy! Yu'er's death has nothing to do with the slave! Before the slave and maid said these secrets, I only hope that the emperor will be merciful and spare the slave and maid's life! I also beg the emperor not to let Concubine Xiao know that it was the slave who exposed her! She knocked her head deeply on the ground, her head clattering against the smooth slate.
"Okay! If you tell me what you know, I won't harm the innocent! ”
Hearing the emperor's foreword, Yue'er seemed to have received the greatest protection, as if she could have no taboos in the future, and there was no fear and fear in her heart. Although the emperor's words were meant to be considered at his discretion, after all, she was not the one who killed Yu'er at all, so she was relieved.
"The slave maid had a little dispute with Yu'er yesterday because of a bucket of water, and happened to be bumped into by Concubine Xiao, Concubine Xiao said that there was something that was about to be interrogated and interrogated by Yu'er, as if it was about Xi Meiren, so she dismissed the slave maid and another palace maid, and later, Yu'er was taken away by her......" After she finished speaking, she noticed that Wei Tianyue's eyes showed a trace of impatience, and she quickly kowtowed and knelt down: "The slave and maid don't know what Concubine Xiao is going to do when she takes Yu'er, if I know that Concubine Xiao is going to ask for it... I'm going to... Yu'er's life, said... Saying anything will not let Concubine Xiao take Yu'er away! I didn't expect it to happen today... It happened... Something like this..."
Yue'er didn't even dare to raise her head when she said this, but after she finished speaking, she regretted it again, saying that she was a maid by Concubine Xiao's side. If Concubine Xiao was not demoted, but was only locked up for a few days, then she would inevitably get along with Concubine Xiao in the future without leaking flaws, if Concubine Xiao knew that she had exposed her, according to Concubine Xiao's ruthless style in the past, Yue'er felt that she was really too impulsive! I want to wait for regret and tell the secret.
"I know! Let's go down! ”
"Nope! Emperor! No..."Yue'er raised her head, she felt that after saying all this, it was not a relief, but a heavier burden, and a huge sense of fear in her heart came to her face, and she had to face being exposed by herself when she went back, but she quickly realized that she said "No! Who is she talking to, she thought that the emperor would be angry, but Wei Tianyue immediately felt that this palace maid still had something to say.
"What else?"
That's it! That's it! Don't do it, don't do it!
Yue'er was open-minded, and said stubbornly: "The slave is afraid! Concubine Xiao has always been ruthless, and the slave is afraid that after she goes back, Concubine Xiao will know that it was the slave who reported her! Shio Meiren was miserable by her at the beginning! The slave followed her, watching her do those things that sow discord and hurt nature, slave and maid! The slave has never had a chance to give the emperor a gift! Your Majesty, you don't know that the white jade pendant that Ximei picked up at the beginning is actually Ximeiren's own! Ximei and Yan Wang have no connection at all! That night, the Ximei and Yanwang City Gate met, and it was also planned and arranged by Concubine Xiaoniang!! ”
The more Wei Tian listened, the more angry he became, and the imperceptible anger on his face was seen by Yue'er.
For so many years, she has served more than a dozen concubines and beauties in the harem, and it has long been her daily routine to look at people's faces and speak, just glanced at her and quickly lowered her head, and hurriedly begged: "The emperor is angry!" The emperor is angry! The slave is true! There is no deception! ”
"Go on!"
"Yes! Be! Concubine Xiao knew that you were doing this, and after putting Ximei in the prison, she also designed to deal with Ximeiren and make Ximei bend into a trick! The slave maid felt that Yu'er, Yu'er was probably killed by Concubine Xiao, and the slave was really afraid of seeing Concubine Xiao again! So..."Her head was deeply attached to the dignity, and she didn't dare to look up into the emperor's eyes, and she didn't know what the result would be if she was so open-minded.
"So! Twinkling! You're by Yue'er's side tonight! Tomorrow morning, I want to abolish Concubine Xiao!! If she has committed a crime, she will be dealt with in accordance with the law of the Great Wei Kingdom! We must not allow favoritism and malpractice! ”
As soon as these words came out, Yue'er was full of joy, the most earth-shattering thing she had ever done in her life might be to overthrow her master.
Wei Tianyue is not only avenging the fleeting rain, but also avenging the Ximeiren!
"Yes! Obey the Emperor's orders! He promised with a sonorous voice.
……
……
When Concubine Xiao came back from Wei Xuan's palace, she was thinking about how she could give the poison to Wei Tianyue without fail, and if she put it in the tea he drank, when would she put it? Thinking of this, she met a palace maid holding incense on the side of the corridor.
"Alas! You wait! She suddenly thought that these palace maids who burned incense for the emperor would send the incense to the gate of the emperor's bedroom, and then the guards guarding the door would send it to the emperor's bedroom.
The little palace maid stopped and curtsied to Concubine Xiao, and said in unison: "Concubine Xiao is blessed and healthy!" ”
"Get up! Where are you going to send this incense? Concubine Xiao asked as she shook the handkerchief at the incense they were holding.
"Hui Concubine Xiaoniang, this is to be sent to the emperor's bedroom, which has the effect of calming the nerves."
"Then I'll send it!"
“… This... How does this work? … Niangniang, golden branches and jade leaves, slender jade hands, these vulgar jobs are still done by slaves! The little palace maid was both flattered and embarrassed.
"It's okay, you go down!" When she said this, she had already taken the incense from the little palace maid's hand, and the incense was held by a round jade plate, covered with translucent light yarn, and there was a square wooden tray under the round jade plate.
The little palace maid knew that Concubine Xiao had made up her mind, so it was inconvenient for her to persuade her, so she retreated with interest.
If you put these potions in half of the incense, no one will test for the poison and no one will notice it, so it will be much easier.
……
The guard at the door saw that the person who brought the incense was Concubine Xiao, and hurriedly saluted and greeted him.
Concubine Xiao smiled and said, "No need to be polite. Then she handed over the tray in her hand.
The guard on the left took it with both hands, and said with a smile: "This is really a hard work for Concubine Xiao!" ”
Concubine Xiao pretended not to ask. "Isn't the emperor in the dormitory now?"
"The emperor is now in the Xuan'an Palace, the emperor has been working on state affairs for the past few days, and he only returns to the dormitory late at night every day, if Concubine Xiao has something important to discuss with the emperor, I'm afraid she will have to find another time!" The one on the right said with a smile.
"Indeed! The emperor has a lot of opportunities and works hard to run the country, so the palace should come to see the emperor! Concubine Xiao said this, indicating that she did not want to leave here.
The guard on the right heard what Concubine Xiao meant, when the emperor left the dormitory, he instructed not to let others enter and exit at will, but now this woman is the only concubine by the emperor's side, and the only woman by the emperor's side, what can I do?
They didn't know much about Concubine Xiao, and they didn't know that Concubine Xiao was an unfavored concubine, so they were afraid of offending Concubine Xiao, so they said: "Concubine Xiao, if you really want to see the emperor, you can come back in an hour, the emperor must be here." ”
"Good! Thanks a lot! ”
"Your Majesty doesn't dare!"
"Then I'm going to bother you to bring this incense in!"
"Yes!"
Concubine Xiao turned around, although she didn't see the emperor inhaling incense into her body, she felt that she had seen the dawn of victory, and thought of the picture of the death of a new generation of young emperors, and she was about to face the white light of dawn, wearing linen and filial piety, pretending to be a man who couldn't love her, grief-stricken, and then she ruled the Celestial Empire with Wei Xuan, who she had secretly planned for many years, at that time she was changing back to Luo Qingtian's face and becoming the master of the harem, this is the final victory! And such a victory is a mixed blessing.
She was finally going to kill Wei Tianyue...
She couldn't tell if she was happier or sadder.
Three watches in the middle of the night.
In the deserted area of Yanzhou City, a group of soldiers in armor armed with long swords or bows and arrows stood in countless square formations in a neat and orderly manner, and their expressions were solemn and solemn.
Every once in a while, there was a blazing torch that illuminated the armor on their bodies, and the cold iron surface reflected a cold red light, and the scene was very spectacular and shocking.
Su Suxuan, Canglan, Xiaoqing, Wei Xinghan and Wei Xinghan's two right-hand men were all present.
"Thank you for your hard work tonight! But you and Canglan have to be extra careful this time, there are still wanted notices everywhere in the imperial city, although those who catch us can't do anything about us, but I don't want to go to the point where the blades meet after all, once someone shows up and captures one of you, we have to mobilize troops to find it, and before we reach the palace, maybe there will be chaos. Wei Xinghan said to them.
"Lord Wang, you don't have to worry about us." Su Suxuan smiled slightly and said, he deliberately used "we", which naturally referred to him and Canglan, but Canglan didn't talk to him along the way, and after speaking, he glanced at Canglan next to Wei Xinghan, but Canglan seemed to be thinking about something, and he was distracted.
"Indeed, the imperial city of Great Wei can be called a city that never sleeps, but there are probably very few people who can really deal with us, and it should not be able to reach the point of mobilizing troops. Canglan, don't you say? Wei Xinghan turned around and smiled at Canglan.
