And the people in the harem, except for Concubine Xiu, no one knows what happened, the emperor suddenly returned to the palace early, and returned separately from Yun Guifei who traveled together, which can't help but lead people to reverie, but Yun Guifei always had such a situation with the emperor before, it was nothing more than an awkward quarrel with the emperor, and it would be fine again in a few days, but this time the situation was obviously different from before, because Yun Guifei was completely entered at this time, and there was also the imperial city guard who was specially ordered by the emperor to be on duty in shifts.

At the same time, Hua Ying was not only worried about whether her personal palace maid and eunuch had been tortured, but also worried about her father and brother, and now she couldn't receive any news.

"My lord, bring a message to the emperor to the palace, the palace wants to see the emperor." Hua Ying finally couldn't help but say to the person who was guarding her: "This silver is for you and other brothers to drink tea from this palace." ”

"Guifei Niangniang, your subordinates can't accept it, the emperor also ordered, Niangniang think about it first, have you done anything that shouldn't be done, and the emperor will naturally come in a few days."

Hua Ying was depressed in her heart, but she couldn't do anything, the emperor treated herself like this, did he find any evidence about himself? But he also ignored it, didn't even let the children see him, and was taken to the Queen Mother, where did the Queen Mother have the energy to take care of the five children before the five princesses? What if something goes wrong during the period of your own confinement?

On this day, Hua Ying finally waited for someone, but it was not the emperor, but Shun Concubine, the Praetorian Guard was heavily guarded, and Shun Concubine naturally couldn't walk in directly with a swagger, but let the palace maid Zhuhe beside her pretend to be a palace maid who delivered meals, and handed a note to Hua Ying.

Hua Ying then knew why she was grounded, it turned out that the emperor sent someone to find out that the person who assassinated him had something to do with the Burhaqi family, and the assassin who was captured alive was once a guard raised by the Burhaqi family.

Hua Ying didn't expect that a guard could have such a skill, and it happened to be related to his own family, it is not difficult to think that the emperor knew that his father was no longer a threat, and his brother was young but could not have the ability to usurp the throne, so the only purpose of the Burhaqi family to assassinate the emperor was for Hua Ying and his son in the palace.

But even if the emperor knew that Hua Ying was not a person who would do that kind of thing, he still resolutely sent Hua Ying back to the palace and grounded her, and did not tell him anything, and finally Shun Concubine took the risk to deliver the news to herself.

Hua Ying couldn't help but clench the letter paper in her hand tightly, it was too much of a deception, did the emperor feel that he was a person who could be slaughtered by others? There is no definite evidence, just like this, it seems that his father resigned a few years ago, but it was convenient for the emperor, this loyalty is really chilling, since this is the case, it is better to develop the Fucha clan at that time, Hua Ying thought angrily, of course, if it was really like that, she probably would not give birth to two sons.

In the past few days when Hua Ying was grounded, there were all kinds of rumors in the palace, including saying that Hua Ying relied on herself to be favored, and she had already overstepped her responsibilities and replaced the queen to accompany the emperor on a trip, and now she even wanted to murder the emperor, but fortunately, the language of the previous dynasty was not the same, thinking that Hua Ying's family had any thief intentions.

Even if some people say so, but Hua Ying's father has contributed his whole life to the court, although the position of Zuodu Yushi is equivalent to a position that offends people, but Hua Ying's Amahuzhuo has never wronged a good person, and naturally has intersected with many juniors over the years, and many current officials have had friendships with him.

Most of these people also know that being a man has to be conscientious, and the emperor is a person who pays attention to cultivating talents, Hua Ying's Ama has helped many talented heirs of civilian families, such people are also the most grateful, almost no one is a rake, and some are just jealous or hate Hua Ying's family who always show off in front of the emperor.

The emperor finally came, he thought about it carefully, and felt that Hua Ying had nothing abnormal recently, and everything she said and did was really happy to show it, it should not be a murderer who calculated himself, but he was also really afraid of a high-ranking and powerful woman who wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, maybe his father was not accurate, and he was always worried that he became his father.

"Ying'er." The emperor said in a deep voice, he had been here for nearly half an hour, except for asking for peace, Hua Ying did not say a word to him, the two were relatively speechless, and the emperor still called her name first.

"What's the matter with the emperor calling his concubines? Do you suspect that the concubine wants to harm the emperor? Hua Ying looked at the emperor's eyes, her tone was indifferent, it seemed that she hadn't spoken to the emperor like this for a long time, the previous cold war seemed to be a small fight, and when she was really angry, Hua Ying's tone was just very unfamiliar.

"Ying'er, don't be like this, don't you have anything else you want to say to me?" The emperor's heart was pierced for a moment, he had expected that the woman in front of him would be angry and angry before he came, but he didn't expect that Hua Ying could be so cold, looking at his eyes, as if he was a stranger, this is also the emperor's own request.

"Your Majesty, what do you want your concubines to say? The emperor is the master of the world, what can't he find if he wants to? If the emperor had definite evidence in his hand, he would not have grounded the concubine in Jingyang Palace, but gave the concubine a cup of poisonous wine and ended the concubine, but the concubine didn't understand that there was nothing to do with the concubine in this matter, but the emperor thought that the concubine had two sons, and the concubine had a great motive. ”

Hua Ying said coldly, the emperor's mind is like this, in the final analysis, isn't it selfish and self-centered?

The emperor immediately lost his temper, and if any concubine said this, the emperor would probably be angry, but fortunately, Hua Ying said this, even if he was angry, he would not make a move with Hua Ying.

"What do you mean? I have good words with you, why do you have to be so rude. The emperor's voice was even more cold, for the emperor, Hua Ying had already crossed the line a lot, no concubine could talk to him like this, even the queen was not polite to him.

"Why don't the concubines know the etiquette? Why didn't the emperor think about it, if you were suspected by the emperor because a guard had worked in your mansion, what would you think in your heart?" Hua Ying didn't back down at all, why did she keep lowering her body and coaxing the emperor, even if he was a Laoshizi emperor, she was sure to protect herself: "If the pure concubine Niangniang at that time was also treated like this by the emperor, would you feel good?" Have you considered Yinze Yinxun and Wenhua Wenchun before making a decision? Especially Wen Chun, not long after her mother's concubine died, and the concubine suffered such an insult again, aren't you afraid that she will be heartbroken and be looked at in a strange light?"

The emperor didn't speak, obviously dumbfounded by Hua Ying's words, and at the same time extremely angry, he didn't expect Hua Ying to dare to tell her what he told her about her own concubine, it was too bold: "Concubine Yun, do you know that you have exceeded the rules." ”

"The concubine knows that the concubine is just dissatisfied with this matter." Hua Ying looked at the emperor's eyes, at this moment the two of them did not look like people who had shared the same bed for many years, but like a pair of-for-tat enemies, Hua Ying seemed to have no reason, but in fact, she knew very well in her mind, even if she lowered her posture first and then shed two tears in front of the emperor, pleaded for mercy through the child, and then let the emperor lift the grounding, but the consequence of this is that the emperor will not completely dispel his doubts, but will turn this matter into a thorn in his heart, and he doesn't know when he will be remembered.

Only in this way, confronting the emperor head-on, arousing the emperor's anger, and letting him know that if a person who really wants to betray him can't have such behavior, in this way, the emperor can really let Hua Ying go, and the only bad thing about this is that he is too risky, and the emperor is not a person who is easy to bow his head, Hua Ying understands that this matter is estimated to last for a long time, but she is not afraid.

"I was too indulgent of you before." Seeing Hua Ying's performance, the doubts in the emperor's heart were indeed slightly dispelled by one or two points, but this still couldn't solve the current problem: "Think about it behind closed doors, think about whether you should talk like this, and besides, I didn't just say this to you because of such a clue, it was the assassin himself who said that he was instructed by your family, and now your father and brother have been temporarily suspended, which can be regarded as I giving face to your family." ”

Hua Ying didn't react when she heard these words, she just smiled coldly: "The emperor said yes, these years the concubines have been used to being wronged in three days, not bad this time." ”

"You're saying I deliberately wronged you?"

"Doesn't the emperor still don't believe in concubines? Then there is no need for the emperor to emphasize, as long as you don't believe in the concubine for a day, the concubine will not leave this Jingyang Palace for a day, and if you let the concubine out, the concubine will not come out. Hua Ying said, and really sat down next to the desk, looking comfortable: "If the emperor has nothing to do, let's go first, you are busy with government affairs, and you have to find your murderer, and staying here with the concubine is just a waste of time." ”

The emperor was speechless by Hua Ying's confrontation for a while, he frowned tightly, angry to the extreme, he clenched his fists, and felt his temples pounding: "If you are obsessed, I can only deprive you of your title and reduce it to agree." ”

"If this can make the emperor find your assassin, the emperor will be happy." Hua Ying didn't even look at the emperor: "By the way, the emperor, the concubines have made a lot of enemies over the years, if the emperor wants to find the real murderer, he might as well check the people in the harem first, or the people in the court who are not in harmony with the concubine's father and brother, but you didn't tell them about the visit of Weifu, so, this murderer, it is estimated that he is really in the harem, the person next to your pillow, of course, if you think the murderer is the concubine, the concubine has nothing to say." ”

The emperor thought about the truth of Hua Ying's words repeatedly, and finally left because of Hua Ying's rampant words, but before leaving the palace, he still left a sentence: "Don't worry about the children, I specially arranged for Qiu Shi to help take care of their food and daily life." ”

"Then thank you, Emperor." Hua Ying watched the emperor go out on his front foot, and then slammed the door herself.

Looking at Jingyang Palace, where most of her subordinates were taken out for interrogation, Hua Ying felt very strange in her heart, as if she could have known that she had this day a long time ago, but at the same time, she knew in her heart that she would still return to her previous position.
