Chapter 234: Qin Nianbai rescued Liu Xi in time
The queen hurriedly knelt over, pulled the hem of the queen mother's clothes, and cried in a serious way.
"The mourning family did this for Zhen'er, otherwise, more than ten years ago, when the mourning family learned the truth of the year, they asked the emperor to abolish you!"
The Queen Mother said disdainfully, in the past ten years, the queen seems to have changed her temperament, becoming gentle and tolerant, and she is also filial to herself, she thought she had really changed, until Zhaoyang entered the palace, only to find that she had not changed at all!
"Queen Mother, over the years, the queen has known that she was wrong and has made up for it, so don't mention it!"
The emperor also sighed, and the queen mother only told him that the queen would not save Su Furui when she saw death, and did not say that she was the mastermind behind the scenes, so the emperor had already forgiven the queen.
"Okay, today in front of the emperor, the mourning family will issue a decree, and the descendants of the Zhao family must not resist the decree! The position of the queen, the mourning family can be reserved for you, and the rules will be according to the concubine, and when Zhen'er succeeds to the throne, you will immediately be demoted to the position of a concubine and move to another courtyard! ”
As soon as the Queen Mother's voice fell, the Queen sat down with a dead face, even if she became the queen, she also had a handle in the hands of the Queen Mother, and she had been cautious for many years, for fear that if she angered the Queen Mother, she would fall into a place of no return.
Now, the Queen Mother wants to suppress her for the rest of her life, no matter how much she hates and angers, she must obey it.
"The concubine takes the order!" She clenched her teeth, took a gentle breath, and said calmly.
"Queen Mother, this punishment is too severe, can you ......" The emperor just asked for mercy, but was severely interrupted by the queen mother, "No!" Emperor, you just let it go to the mourning family, how can you go back on your word? ”
The queen was afraid that the queen mother would tell the truth of the year, so she hurriedly pulled the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the concubine admits punishment, don't rebel against the Queen Mother for the sake of the concubine, this time it is the concubine's fault, blame the concubine for not checking for a while, and almost committed a big crime!"
It is better to let the emperor pity himself than to disgust himself and involve Zhao Zhen after knowing the truth.
The emperor saw the queen like this, felt a little guilty in his heart, supported her, and knelt in front of the queen mother together.
At this time, Aunt Yu outside knocked on the door, "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see you!" ”
"Let him in!" The Queen Mother said calmly.
The queen was also overjoyed in her heart, she was afraid that she would not be able to escape this catastrophe, so she specially asked Rusu to go to the study to invite the prince over.
The door opened, and the prince walked in in a bright yellow python robe, wearing a purple and gold crown, and a high-spirited, handsome and virtuous appearance.
After he caught a glimpse of his father and mother kneeling on the ground, he did not panic, but calmly said to the queen mother first, "Granddaughter Zhao Zhen asks for peace to the imperial grandmother, and the imperial grandmother is blessed with longevity and health!" ”
"Well, good grandson, get up!" The Queen Mother couldn't suppress the liking in her heart.
The crown prince said to the emperor and queen again: "Son, please say hello to my father and queen mother!" ”
The emperor and queen also love Zhao Zhen very much, when Zhang Guifei and the three princes rebelled and forced the palace, it was the prince who led the troops to quell the rebellion and saved the husband and wife.
Zhao Zhen's character and ability, whether it is political affairs or military affairs, are top-notch for all to see!
It is precisely because the crown prince is so good that the queen mother has let the queen go several times, and the same is true for the emperor.
"Good emperor, please get up!" The emperor smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Now that I see that the emperor's grandmother is in good health, my grandson is relieved!" The prince looked at the queen mother who looked at him with a loving face, and said reassuringly.
The Queen Mother knew that why the prince suddenly appeared in Shoukang Palace must have been done by Rusu beside the queen.
Of course, the crown prince can also see that the father and queen mother are kneeling in front of the imperial grandmother, and they haven't even come in as a junior, which shows that this incident is not a contradiction that he and his father can reconcile.
However, as long as the imperial grandmother is there, he can rest assured, he happened to be in the study today, and he was pretended to be Mr. Ventriloquist invited by Xiaoluzi on weekdays.
After months of arrangement, the family is ready for everything!
"Father, grandmother, don't worry, all the suffering will be over!" Before the prince left, he said firmly.
……
Qin Nianbai took the emperor's token, wore a gray cloak, and took a few guards to the heavenly prison.
Liu Xi was locked in the innermost, and the criminals in the cell all the way smelled the aroma on Qin Nianbai's body, stretched out their hands one by one, and shouted loudly that it was a woman.
The guards came up to protect Qin Nianbai, and vigorously swung the outstretched hand with the hilt of the knife.
Qin Nianbai was also taken aback, this prison is the prison where the most heinous people are imprisoned in the capital, here, there is a place where the emperor personally ordered the criminals to be imprisoned!
It turned out that this place was so terrifying, no wonder the emperor wanted to come and see Liu Xi himself.
At the end of the prison, in a single cell, Liu Xi sat in the corner, and there were three or four drunken jailers standing in front of him, giggling and laughing.
"People say that eunuchs are rootless things, what do they look like? We don't know, why don't we call the old eunuch Lulu? A fat jailer laughed like a ruffian.
Another Scarface also coaxed, "yes, let's show us, it's gone anyway, what's shy, hehe!" ”
Then, Liu Xi's shrill and angry voice sounded, "You dogs, if you dare to touch a finger of our family, our family will definitely let you experience something without roots!" ”
"I said old thing, don't think about going out if you are convicted, this big prison is full of felons in the court, either waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded, or waiting for exile to the frontier, you want to go out and return to the emperor? Old thing, it's beautiful to think! ”
Scarface said and kicked Liu Xi in the chest, Liu Xi choked and fell heavily to the ground, clutching his chest and eating pain.
The fat man beckoned to the other jailers around him to pick up his pants.
"Stop, dogs, let go of our house!"
Where did Liu Xi suffer such an insult, but his chest ached and he couldn't move anymore, and he was in his fifties and shed tears because of the humiliation.
Just as the two jailers untied Liu Xi's belt and were about to pull off his pants, a cold cry came.
"What are you doing?"
The jailers were startled and looked at the place where the sound came from, only to see a small woman with a gray cloak and a gloomy face walking in.
The main thing is that the woman is followed by seven or eight guards with knives, and those are the guards in the palace, and these low-level officials must be honored as masters!
The woman who took the lead, I'm afraid it's even more difficult to mess with!
The two jailers also quickly spread their hands, and the four jailers stood aside in unison with their heads bowed.
Qin Nianbai heard the sound of frolicking before she arrived, she ran over, and just saw two jailers picking Liu Xi's pants, so she scolded loudly.
The guards behind her also drew their broadswords and surrounded them.
"Grandpa Liu, are you okay?" Qin Nianbai helped Liu Xi up, Liu Xi cried with joy, hurriedly knelt down, and said in a firm tone, "Your Highness, thank Your Highness for the rescue, in the future, the life of the old slave will be Your Highness!" ”
Qin Nianbai saved his dignity, otherwise, he would have no face when he died, which was more important than saving his life.
Qin Nianbai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Liu doesn't have to be polite, you are patient for a while, your father will definitely let you out, you see, this is given to me by my father, just let me take care of your situation in prison!" ”
As she spoke, she took out the token in her hand and showed it to Liu Xi, just to let Liu Xi know that the emperor was worried about him, not for him to take the blame for nothing!
"Old slave thanks to the emperor's grace!" Liu Xi said gratefully, but he was even more grateful to His Royal Highness Zhaoyang!
After appeasing Liu Xi, Qin Nianbai asked a guard to help him, and turned around to clean up the four scum!
"We talked, you also heard, my identity will not be introduced, you four, you want to use that kind of death?" Qin Nianbai squatted down and asked with a smile.
The four jailers were already trembling with fright, sweating profusely, and where could they still say anything!
"If you don't speak, then this palace will decide, don't you want to know what the chief eunuch is like? How about this palace turn you into eunuchs now? ”
Qin Nianbai's words were soft, but to the four jailers, it was like nine cold ice, so cold that their liver and intestines were torn apart, and they couldn't breathe.
After the four of them reacted, they kowtowed vigorously and begged her to spare her life, the four of them don't have mothers-in-law yet, wouldn't they have to cut off their children and grandchildren if they become eunuchs!
"The princess spares her life, the little one doesn't dare, the little one is damned, spare her life!" The four of them cried in unison.
Qin Nianbai's face was expressionless, and he beckoned the guards to move.
Several guards grabbed the four of them, pressed them on the rough wooden cell door, and began to draw their big knives and wait for Qin Nianbai to give his final order.
The four of them were already frightened, and they couldn't cry anymore, and then a bad smell of urine came from the smell.
Qin Nianbai couldn't help but cover his nose with a handkerchief, and said disgustingly: "It stinks to death, do it quickly!" ”
The guard replied yes, raised the knife in his hand, and the four of them cried again.
"Wait!" Qin Nianbai said again, "If this palace spares you once, will you still bully people like this?" ”
The four of them hurriedly promised that they wouldn't.
Qin Nianbai waved his hand again to let them go, and they sat on the ground, trembling for a while.
"Listen, in the future, the diet and daily life of Gonggong Liu will be taken care of by the four of you, and the palace will send someone to inspect, if you snub Gonggong Liu, the palace will destroy your nine clans!" Qin Nianbai said in a cold tone.
The four of them lay on the ground, nodding their heads again and again, all kinds of assurances.
Qin Nianbai said a few more words to Gonggong Liu, warning the four jailers not to reveal the matter, and then left with the people satisfied.
As soon as she reached the door, she caught a glimpse of Bai Fan coming over on a horse.
Bai Fan came this time to get General Bai's order to interrogate Liu Xi, if Liu Xi could cooperate obediently, it would be better, otherwise, he would be finished ahead of schedule!
"How could Bai Fan come to the prison, could it be that he came for Gonggong Liu, so wouldn't Gonggong Liu be in danger!" Qin Nianbai muttered worriedly.
She hurried to the back, got into the carriage, took off her cloak, and walked over in a plain turquoise dress.
I just happened to bump into Bai Fan at the door of the building.
Bai Fan saw that the woman in front of her was Princess Chaoyang, she was holding her hair in a bun, probably because of the bumps, the bun was a little loose, and a few strands of hair fluttered in the wind.
