Chapter 114: Tuoba Zeyan's personal trial
Tuoba Zeyan felt a little emotion in his heart, and raised his eyes to stare at Lord Cao: "What Lord Cao said is good, this king is indeed unacceptable, but this king is for the sake of those innocent people in the west of the city, so what is Lord Cao for?" It's just for power! ”
Cao Shangshu seemed to be a little excited, his brows were tightly locked, his dark eyes were already full of tears, and his heart was very sentimental: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince said that he was so high, isn't it for the sake of fighting for power and profit?" If it wasn't for power, why did you come to the palace? ”
Tuoba Zeyan raised his eyes and stared at Cao Shangshu, at this moment, Tuoba Zeyan could see that Cao Shangshu was not a heinous person, I was afraid that there was something unavoidable, so he would help the queen and the eldest prince to do such a thing: "Lord Cao is wrong, this king has no interest in fighting for power and profit, this king came to Jinling City, just to live, just to get the antidote to the poison of yin and yang body exchange!" ”
Cao Shangshu had already heard about the four princes, but he didn't expect him to say this, and he felt a little emotional in his heart for a while: "What? His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has been poisoned by the Yin and Yang body swap? ”
Tuoba Zeyan nodded lightly: "This king has been poisoned for many years, and he has been seeking medical advice, but he has never recovered, but this king has not died for so many years, so he decided to come to Jinling City and give it a go." ”
Lord Cao was very sentimental in his heart, staring blankly at the four princes in front of him, slightly panicked, and his sharp eyes were a little sluggish: "Is what the four princes said true?" ”
"Absolutely."
Lord Cao was even more sentimental, with mixed feelings and mixed feelings in his heart, he thought for a moment, pursed his lips, and hurriedly said: "Yes, it was the queen who arranged for me to do the plague incident in the west of the city, since His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is so well-intentioned, I will not hide it from His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”
Tuoba Zeyan bowed: "Thank you Lord Cao, Lord Cao is not a heinous person, this king will definitely show his father and the emperor to wash away the grievances for Lord Cao." ”
Lord Cao hurriedly shook his head: "It's okay, this matter is the fault of the old minister, it has nothing to do with others, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince doesn't have to be like this." ”
Tuoba Zeyan stared blankly at Lord Cao in front of him, and his heart was even more sad: "Okay, let Master Cao go." As soon as the words fell, Tuoba Zeyan turned around and left, walked out of his troubles, and instructed his subordinates: "Be kind to Lord Cao, don't beat and scold again!" ”
The subordinate was even more respectful, and bent down to salute: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”
Tuoba Zeyan also relieved his heart and strode away.
Immediately, Lord Cao confessed, and the subordinates reported to the emperor, and the emperor was even more furious and thunderous.
Early the next morning, the emperor issued an edict to demote the queen to Concubine Rong, outside the Zhaoyang Palace, the eunuchs held the decree in their hands, and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Empress Jiang, disobey the holy will, there is a loss of generality, from now on, reduce to Concubine Rong, in order to set an example, admire this!" ”
In the Zhaoyang Palace, the subordinates knelt on the ground, their hearts were very desolate, and the queen was even more sad, and her heart was extremely sad: "Your Majesty, the emperor listened to his concubines......
The subordinates pushed the queen away: "Concubine Rong, take the order." As he spoke, he handed the decree into the hands of the queen and strode away.
The queen was shocked, kneeling outside the door of Zhaoyang Palace, her heart was very lost, desolate, those delicate eyes, already full of tears, pale, stunned: "This palace wants to see the emperor, this palace wants to see the emperor......"
Cai'er knelt beside the queen and hurriedly stopped the queen: "The queen is angry, the queen is angry!" ”
The queen stood up in a daze, walked forward, very sad in her heart, and very regretful, and hated the fourth prince Tuoba Zeyan, and was very unhappy in her heart.
At this time, the Zhaoyang Palace was still guarded by the Praetorian Guards, and no one was allowed to enter or exit, and the queen came to the gate and was stopped by the officers and soldiers: "Concubine Rong, please go back, the emperor has an order, no one is allowed to enter or leave!" ”
The queen was even more panicked: "This palace is not Concubine Rong, this palace is the queen!" Hongu is the queen! ”
The guards were still as if they were "Concubine Rong, please go back!" ”
The queen panicked for a moment, fell to the ground, stared blankly at the few guards in front of her, and was very unhappy in her heart, and even more frightened.
Cai'er stayed beside the queen, and was even more panicked, and hurriedly helped the queen up: "Queen mother, queen mother, let's go back!" They won't let us out! He was crying and crying, carefully supporting the queen.
The queen stood up in a daze, and walked towards the house with Cai'er, stunned, expressionless, and very displeased.
Cai'er helped the queen back to the house, so she was relieved, and poured a cup of tea for the queen: "The queen, please use it!" ”
The queen turned around and glanced at Cai'er, and her heart was even more sad: "Cai'er, how is the situation of the eldest prince now?" ”
Cai'er bent down and saluted, respectful: "Back to the queen, His Royal Highness the eldest prince is safe and sound, and he has not been implicated." ”
The queen was relieved and very satisfied, stretched out her hand to take the tea, lowered her head, took a sip, only felt that there was something wrong with the tea, frowned, and hurriedly raised her head: "Cai'er, why is this tea not the Longjing drunk in the palace?" ”
Cai'er was even more panicked, and bent down to salute: "Returning to the queen's mother, the tea ran out yesterday, and the young eunuch still didn't send it, and the people in our palace couldn't get out, so I asked the queen to punish her." ”
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, and was even more displeased, put down the tea cup in her hand, and looked sad: "It's really the wall that everyone pushes, and those who are in the palace and those who give gifts to the palace are not coming!" It's really a hot and cold world, and people's hearts are not ancient! The queen sighed secretly, and her heart was very melancholy.
The queen didn't say anything more, she lowered her head and sighed, very melancholy in her heart.
At this moment, in the palace of the four princes, Tuoba Zeyan had already expected this result, and informed Liu Mengyan of the truth, Liu Mengyan was very happy in her heart, things were much smoother than expected, and now she has obtained the Qingying Soul Fixing Pill of the Yuelan Kingdom, and only needs to obtain the Seven Treasures of the Purple Deep Country to reduce the dust dew, and it will be half the success.
Liu Mengyan and Tuoba Zeyan are walking slowly in the flower hall, the flower hall of the Four Kings' Mansion is now a cluster of flowers, competing for beauty, bright peonies and enchanting narcissus, all dazzling, delicate flowers, especially lovely.
The spring breeze blew the green silk behind the two, and the two laughed, so happy! Liu Mengyan was even more full of spring breeze, very proud: "Tuoba Zeyan, today is really a good weather!" ”
Tuoba Zeyan was even more full of spring breeze, and glanced at Liu Mengyan beside him: "It's really good weather, the wind is beautiful, and the sky is clear!" This kind of weather is comfortable! ”
The two walked slowly, dazzled, and their pace became much slower, and Liu Mengyan was even more pleased: "But the queen mother and His Royal Highness the eldest prince, I'm afraid they won't be comfortable!" ”
Tuoba Zeyan smiled lightly, reached out and picked a faint lily, the delicate petals, curly lovely, among the stamens, the refreshing light fragrance, and Liu Mengyan is very compatible, Tuoba Zeyan held the lily in his hand, carefully inserted between Liu Mengyan's sideburns, adding a touch of fairy spirit, Tuoba Zeyan stared at Liu Mengyan beside him with affection, the corners of his lips rose slightly, outlining a rebellious arc: "Miss Rong is more beautiful like this, Miss Rong doesn't like hairpin flowers in the day, but I don't know that the hairpin flowers are so beautiful." ”
Liu Mengyan was a little nervous, lowered her chin slightly, and her cheeks were slightly red: "Tuoba Zeyan has won the award, but he doesn't dare to be a dancer." ”
Tuoba Zeyan was even more pleased, staring at Liu Mengyan in front of him, her dark eyes were shining, like delicate obsidian, shining brightly, eye-catching: "Miss Rong is too humble." As he spoke, he reached out and stroked the delicate lily on Liu Mengyan's forehead, and he was very happy in his heart.
Liu Mengyan still lowered her chin, her face was blushing, she didn't say anything, but she was a little resistant in her heart, she didn't dare to say anything more to him, she stood dumbfounded for a moment, plucked up her courage again, and said intermittently: "Tuoba Zeyan, there are better flowers ahead, how about we go forward again?" After saying that, Liu Mengyan relaxed a little and breathed a sigh of relief.
Tuoba Zeyan could see that Liu Mengyan was deliberately evading, and nodded helplessly: "It's okay, take a look further, Miss Rong, please!" As he spoke, Tuoba Zeyan raised his hand and made a gesture, very respectful.
Liu Mengyan also smiled lightly, and walked forward with Tuoba Zeyan, very satisfied: "Tuoba Zeyan, please!" ”
Walking slowly for a long time, the two of them became more and more cheerful, and they were content, this time Lord Cao confessed to the queen, and suddenly brought down the power of the queen and the prince, which is really gratifying!
The two walked slowly for a long time, and then returned to the lobby, and the people hurriedly served tea and bent down to salute: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, Miss Rong, please use tea!" ”
Liu Mengyan stretched out her hand to pick up the tea and took a sip, which was even more refreshing and refreshing.
However, at this moment, in the Yuncang Kingdom, Xu Chenqing missed Liu Mengyan who left Beijing more and more, standing on the city wall, raising his eyes and looking into the distance, he still remembered the scene when Liu Mengyan left, I don't know when she will come back, now Yuncang Country is his own world, but Xu Chenqing is still a little entangled in his heart, nostalgic for those days with Liu Mengyan, and his heart is very melancholy.
After a while, the subordinates hurriedly came over and put a cloak on Xu Chenqing: "Your Majesty, the weather is still cold, don't catch the wind cold." ”
Xu Chenqing sighed secretly, and then turned around and glanced at the next person: "Little Fuzi, how long has Miss Rong been gone?" ”
The eunuch stared at Xu Chenqing in front of him, and bent down to salute: "Back to the emperor, Miss Rong has been gone for two months." ”
Xu Chenqing was even more melancholy, frowning slightly: "It's been two months, and I haven't come back yet!" ”
Seeing this, the eunuch didn't dare to say anything, and carefully comforted Xu Chenqing: "The emperor will wait a few more days, maybe in a few days, Miss Rong will come back!" ”
