Chapter 218: Violent Death
With this sentence from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Li Yang was naturally smiling.
However, if it is not the time of sacrifice, the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother and others will not come to Baling, and because of this, on weekdays, Li Yang's life is also good.
Although the official of Baling Wei 1,000 stones, although it is not far from Chang'an, and Li Yangzhi's duty is to guard the Baling Tomb, he can't get away from it at all.
If you leave your post without permission and are known by others, you can participate in the prince's performance, don't think about it, the Son of Heaven will be furious, and find such a person to guard the tomb for Emperor Xiaowen, but it is unknown to the Son of Heaven.
Such a big crime is not something that he can afford as a small bully guard.
However, for Li Yang, the biggest drawback of being a Baling Guard is not this, but that although it is not far from Chang'an, Li Yang's name is difficult to have the opportunity to appear in front of Liu Qi, the son of heaven.
If it weren't for that, it wouldn't have been a few years without changing its position.
And when Liu Rong and Gillian got into the car, Li Yang also saluted and said: "Your Majesty respectfully sends His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”。
When Liu Rong and Gillian left, it was already Shen time, but because it was summer, the sun was still burning in the sky.
It wasn't until dusk that the two returned to Ganquan Palace.
As soon as the two got out of the car, Liu Rong reached out and pulled Chen Ajiao to the door of the dormitory, and met Zheng Ze.
Seeing Liu Rong, Zheng Ze immediately stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "The minister greets His Royal Highness the Prince."
When Zheng Ze arrived, he didn't have to think about it, but he also knew that this was what Queen Bo meant.
Although Zheng Ze is a eunuch, he is also a beautiful official with a rank of more than 2,000 stones, so he can call himself a minister, and Liu Rong called him to be a secretary, only to see Liu Rong say: "Zheng Qing is exempt from courtesy."
"Your Highness".
Then, Zheng Ze said: "His Royal Highness and Lord Chen Weng have just returned from the Baling, and they should not have dinner yet, but the female monarch ordered the ministers to wait for His Royal Highness and Lord Weng here, and go to the female monarch's palace for dinner."
In recent days, Liu Rong has taken the initiative to show favor to Queen Bo, and Liu Rong has accepted it, "How dare you disobey the order of the queen mother."
However, Liu Rong turned his head to look at Chen Ajiao on the side and said, "Gillian and her cousin go to the mother's harem to eat together, okay?" ”。
Hearing this, Gillian nodded obediently.
Immediately afterwards, the two went to the palace of Queen Bo under the guidance of Zheng Ze.
"The sons and daughters visit the queen mother", Liu Rong saluted.
And Queen Bo laughed and said, "The prince is exempt."
Liu Rong finished speaking, but it was Chen Gillian's turn, "Gillian has seen her uncle."
"It's Gillian here, come to my aunt's place", Queen Bo smiled while stretching out her hand to summon Gillian over.
And Chen Ajiao trotted to Queen Bo with a smile.
I don't know if it's because I've been with Liu Rong for a long time, or what, Gillian's personality is very different from her mother Liu Rong.
Even when dealing with slaves and maids, they will never be easily angry and insulted.
Her temperament is very similar to that of Queen Bo.
Solidly, after seeing Chen Ajiao a few times, Queen Bo also loves her very much.
After ordering the palace maid on the side to sit on the table, she took Gillian's little hand, and Queen Bo smiled lovingly: "Our Gillian is getting more and more beautiful."
Hearing Queen Bo say this, Gillian became a little shy.
However, at this moment, Liu Rong felt that he was a little redundant to come here.........
……………………………………………………………………
After the three of them sat down, Queen Bo said to the attendants standing on the side: "Let's pass the meal."
"No," the attendant immediately saluted.
After a while, I saw the attendant at the gate of the palace stretching out his voice and saying, "Queen-pass the meal!" ”。
Immediately afterwards, several attendants presented the meal that had been prepared.
Empress Bo said: "This is still the meat that Your Majesty caught from hunting yesterday, and it is used to cook meat soup, and the prince and Gillian can eat it."
In such a hot weather, the venison did not deteriorate every other day, and Liu Rong was also puzzled by its nature, maybe the kitchen in the palace had his own method.
After going back and forth to Baling for a day, Liu Rong was also hungry, picked up the short blade on the case, and cut a plate of marinated meat in front of him to eat.
However, when Liu Rong and Chen Ajiao were in the palace of Queen Bo, after finishing their meals and the attendants removed the food ding, they heard a rumbling thunder outside the palace.
Walking to the window and pushing open the window, Liu Rong saw that there was lightning and thunder outside the hall, and the torrential rain was like a note.
Liu Rong sighed secretly: "Fortunately, I came back early, if I come back late, it's really hard to say if I can go to Ganquan Palace tonight."
………………………………………………
And at this moment in the palace, something that has a lot to do with Liu Rong is quietly happening.
At night, it was naturally time for dinner, and Li Ji's apt waiter Yu Xiaoqing was of course going to pass the meal to her.
However, when he left the dormitory, nearly half an hour had passed, and he had not come back, Liu Concubine was a little anxious, and muttered: "Where did you go?"
And at this moment, the door of Kurihime's bedroom was suddenly pushed open............
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Li Ji said again: "This Xiaoqing is finally back."
However, the person who entered the hall was not the impatient servant Xiaoqing that Li Ji had been waiting for, but someone else!
I saw more than a dozen eunuchs rushing into Li Ji's bedroom.
Seeing that everyone was dressed as a eunuch, Li Ji immediately became furious: "Who are you?" What are you doing when you break into my palace!! ”。
However, these eunuchs really didn't reply to Li Ji's question, but just stared at Li Ji one by one.
Even if Li Ji is not favored by His Majesty, or even disgusted, she is always the concubine of the Son of Heaven and the biological mother of the crown prince Liu Rong.
The maids and attendants in this palace dare not be disrespectful to Li Ji.
Looking at the eyes of these eunuchs, Li Ji was really a little panicked, her hands trembled a little, and she said, "What do you want to do......."
After a while, seeing that no one answered, Li Ji immediately scolded angrily: "Where did you come from, slave maid, get out of here!" ”。
Then he ordered the attendants beside him to go outside the palace, summon the palace guards, and arrest these eunuchs.
But I didn't want to, and after turning around, I found that the palace maids and attendants in the palace didn't know where they were.
At this moment, I saw a white-haired old man dressed differently from the rest of the eunuchs walking out of the crowd.
However, in the Han family, under normal circumstances, a white-haired father would have long gray hair, but this old man did not have a beard.
It is as if he is also a eunuch............
And this person said to Li Ji in a very cold tone: "Li Meiren, do you remember who I am? ”。
When he got closer, Kurihime still didn't see who it was.
However, Li Ji saw that this person should have been tortured, and he was already unrecognizable.
The person in front of him stepped forward step by step, and Li Ji stepped back and asked tremblingly, "You............ Who the hell are you?! ”。
Hearing this, I saw that the old man was grinning and laughing, and after laughing, he said angrily: "I have such an end today, all thanks to you!" Li Meiren, she can't even recognize who I am."
"Li Meiren still remembers Feng Yu!" , the old eunuch said sharply.
This Feng Yu is still the general Feng Yu that Empress Dowager Dou had agreed to at the beginning.
"You...... Aren't you dead? Li Ji was frightened.
Feng Yu immediately said with a hideous face: "Haha, the old slave is indeed a dead person, and I came here today to pick up the chestnut beauty and go with him!" ”。
At the beginning, Feng Yu received money from the two brothers of the Tian family, and together with Wang Huan, he set up a bureau to assassinate Liu Rong.
After the incident, Liu Qidang, the Son of Heaven, even ordered someone to secretly detain him in Tingwei Prison.
Participating in the calculation of the prince, and being the favorite prince of the Son of Heaven, Feng Yu naturally has no more life.
But he actually endured all kinds of torture by Tingwei and survived.
However, after Liu Qi, the son of heaven, knew about this, he was destined to be in the capital, and it may be useful to keep Feng Yu's life for the time being.
In this way, when Liu Qi decided to dispose of Li Ji, he could also use this Feng Yu.
In order to make Feng Yu do his best to do this, Liu Qi also ordered someone to go to the Tingwei prison and say something to him.
And when he hears it, as long as he doesn't do it well, he may be able to save his "son's" life.
In this way, how could Feng Yu not comply.
It took advantage of the heavy rainy night, under the arrangement, all the way to the green light into the harem.
"Ordered, Li Meiren is sick, and she should go to Yongxiang to recuperate!" , Feng Yu was cold to the little eunuchs standing behind him.
When the little eunuch behind him heard this, he even stepped forward to surround Li Ji.
Ignoring Kurihime's resistance, he immediately stepped forward and controlled Kurihime.
These little eunuchs, all of whom had committed capital crimes before, in this case, they were no longer afraid.
What kind of place is Yongxiang, how could Li Ji not know, so far, she is still wearing it in the harem, and in the middle of the night, you can hear a woman complaining and sighing in Yongxiang.
Solidly, for so many years, no one dared to go to Yongxiang for no reason.
Li Ji immediately struggled and said, "Rebel! The rebel son is going to kill the mother! ”。
It seems that Li Ji thought that this was arranged by Liu Rong and wanted to get rid of herself............
Feng Yu naturally wouldn't let Li Ji make a lot of noise here, but after a while, Li Ji's palace was quiet.
However, Feng Yu and the more than ten little eunuchs, I don't know when, completely disappeared without a trace.
And in just a moment, someone entered the palace of Li Ji, but he was so shocked that he almost fainted.
Kurihime died, and when she died, there was no one in the temple, but no one knew why she died.
…………………………………………………………………………
That night, Empress Dowager Dou and Concubine Liu learned the news.
Kurithime died violently......
If it was the ordinary concubine of the Son of Heaven, Old Lady Dou would definitely not have any excessive reaction, but Li Ji was the prince's biological mother.
At this time, the prince was doing in Ganquan Palace with the Son of Heaven, and his mother died violently in the palace.
Empress Dowager Dou asked eagerly: "Why did Li Meiren die violently?!" ”。
The attendant who knelt on the ground replied: "When the Queen Mother atoned for her sins, and Li Meiren died violently, there was no one else in her bedroom, but it was...... but I don't know."
I don't know the reason, the Empress Dowager Dou frowned and said nothing, and when Liu Concubine on the side saw this, she walked to the front of the old lady Dou and said: "Maybe Li Meiren died violently because of her old age, but at this time, the urgent matter should be to send someone to immediately report to His Majesty and the prince who are still in Ganquan Palace."
Empress Dowager Dou sighed and said, "It's all about this."
In just half an hour, I saw several attendants coming out of the palace and galloping to the east gate of Chang'an City on fast horses.
According to the system, when the city gate has been closed, no one can go out of the city again, but with the consent of the Empress Dowager Dou, the city gate can be opened at any time to let people pass.
After leaving the east gate, the leader said, "The Queen Mother has an order, so be sure to send the letter to Ganquan Palace as soon as possible!" We will wait all the way, and there must be no delay! ”。
After speaking, these horsemen rode their horses and galloped towards Ganquan Palace.
