Chapter 51: The Emperor and Empress Turn Their Eyes

Two days later, in the afternoon, Wang Qiang went to the south study to meet Emperor Chongzhen. Now Chongzhen is not as diligent as before, and there are a mountain of twists and turns on the imperial case that have not been approved, and he is too lazy to look at it, and he is still entangled in Chen Yuanyuan's affairs.

Before Wang Qiang could come in and salute, Chongzhen asked eagerly: "Wang Qiang, you are finally here, have you done what I told you the day before yesterday?" ”

"Long live, the slave and maid have already done it, the slave and maid have found a quiet place in the palace, and plan to bring Chen Yuanyuan over in the afternoon, and then send someone to inform the emperor." Wang Qiang lowered his head and said.

"Good! You're really capable. Chongzhen said with a happy face.

"But the emperor, Chen Yuanyuan has been confined by the queen in Kunning Palace, and the slave maid took her out, the queen must blame, and then ask the emperor to be the master of the slave and maid." Wang Qiang said provocatively.

"This is natural, you do what I want, and no one can stop it, not even the queen." Chongzhen said firmly.

With the emperor's words, the slaves and maids were relieved. Please wait for the emperor, and the slaves and maids will go to prepare. The king forcibly bowed and took his leave.

That Chongzhen thought that it wouldn't take long to get his wish fulfilled, his heart was budding, and his heart was scratching, just looking forward to that time to come.

said that Wang Qiang returned to the harem and deliberately made a sneaky appearance, sneaking into Kunning Palace from the small gate and entering Chen Yuanyuan's courtyard. Wang Qiang saw Chen Yuanyuan, only said that he had a new song, and he had to find a secluded place to sing it to her, Yuanyuan was naturally happy, so he followed Wang Qiang out of the courtyard, she didn't understand the rules of the palace, and she didn't feel anything wrong. The eunuch on duty here took care of these dancing girls according to the queen's will and prevented them from being discharged from the hospital, but Wang Qiang was the chief of the inner house, so he didn't dare to stop him, so he had to hurry to the queen to report.

Wang Qiang took Chen Yuanyuan to a secluded courtyard not far from Kunning Palace, which was originally uninhabited. This courtyard is located between Kunning Palace and the South Study, and Wang Qiang naturally has his plans to choose here.

Wang Qiang and Chen Yuanyuan walked into the courtyard and came to the house to drink tea and chat. Wang Qiang's move was to rescue Chen Yuanyuan, but he didn't know whether he could succeed, and he couldn't say anything to Chen Yuanyuan, he looked preoccupied, and he didn't have the freedom of the past, Chen Yuanyuan felt puzzled and didn't want to ask.

As Wang Qiang expected, as soon as Wang Qiang and Chen Yuanyuan entered the small courtyard, the little eunuch who was watching him ran to report to the queen. The queen had a deep grudge against Wang Qiang, and she had been holding back her strength to punish him, and after hearing the news, she immediately took Liu Hai and a large group of people to catch the traitor.

Xiao Shanzi personally monitored outside the Kunning Palace, and the queen led people to leave the Kunning Palace with the front foot, and Xiao Shanzi sent someone to the south study to invite the emperor.

Wang Qiang was chatting with Chen Yuanyuan, when he suddenly heard a messy footsteps at the gate of the courtyard, and then, the courtyard door was knocked open, and Wang Qiang said in his heart: "It's here." He got up and said to Chen Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, no matter what happens later, you don't care, even if others ask about you, just push it on me." After speaking, he stepped out of the door, Chen Yuanyuan was kept in the dark, and he didn't know what was going to happen, so he came out after Wang Qiang.

At this time, the queen with a large group of eunuchs and palace maids had already broken into the courtyard and blocked the door, Wang Qiang took two steps forward and knelt on the ground to greet the queen.

The queen crossed her hands on her hips, stood in front of Wang Qiang with a menacing smile, and said with a sneer: "Hmph, what a pair of dog men and women, they have done good things in the blue sky and day." ”

"The queen mother atoned for her sins, and the slave knew that she was wrong!" Wang Qiang pretended to be afraid and said.

"Wrong? Hahahaha, you're talking light! This singing and dancing class was specially found by the palace to serve the emperor, you dare to abduct and hide without authorization, what a bold act? How can this palace spare you! The queen thought she had caught Wang Qiang's feet and said proudly.

Wang Qiang said in a trembling voice: "The queen mother spared her life, and the slave and maid confessed, but the slave and maid did not intend to abduct, but just wanted to find Miss Chen to talk about poetry and papers, and there was nothing else to read!" Wang Qiang had the intention of angering the queen, so he didn't mention what Chongzhen had explained.

"Don't have anything else in mind? Hehe, you have the audacity to abduct Chen Yuanyuan, and you dare to be hard when you are caught by this palace, you despise this palace so much, come on! Give me a walking stick! The queen shouted, she was here to trouble Wang Qiang, so she brought the eunuch in charge of the execution.

Chen Yuanyuan was frightened by this sudden change, and when he saw that the queen was going to beat Wang Qiang, he hurriedly pleaded and said: "The queen mother, the prince, ah, it's the princess who just talked to me about the words and papers, and nothing else, please forgive the queen mother!" ”

"Shut up!" The queen scolded sharply: "What? It's distressing! You horny bitch! It's not enough to seduce wild men outside, it's not honest when you get to the palace, you have to seduce even a eunuch, it's really a natural obscene billet, lewd and cheap! The queen was annoyed that Chen Yuanyuan had robbed her of her favor, and vented all the resentment of the last fall with Chongzhen on Chen Yuanyuan's head, so the scolding was extremely vicious and ugly.

That Chen Yuanyuan had never been so insulted when he was so big, and he was embarrassed for a while, and he fell to the ground and trembled. The eunuch in charge of the execution over there had already knocked Wang Qiang down, and the two eunuchs opened their wooden sticks and began to beat. However, the two people who were executed were Xiao Shanzi's subordinates, and Xiao Shanzi had explained in advance that they had to fight really, but they couldn't be too seriously injured. There's a question of beating skills. The two of them raised their walking sticks high and fell down hard, but they collected the strength of their hands at the moment when the walking sticks touched the flesh and skin, so the skin of the beaten person was open on the surface, but the muscles and bones were not hurt in the slightest. Rao is two subordinates showed mercy, and after a while, Wang Qiang's ass was already open, and blood flowed down the torn robe to the ground. That bangs have always been jealous of Wang Qiang, but now he finally found an opportunity to get angry, and shouted with his feet jumping on the side: "Fight!" Give me a hard beating! Kill this little rabbit cub who doesn't have long eyes! ”

There was a commotion here, only to hear a shout outside the courtyard: "The emperor has arrived!" Before the words fell, Chongzhen had already rushed into the courtyard angrily. It turned out that Wang Qiang calculated that the queen would chase after him to rectify himself, he calculated the time and arranged for someone to invite Chongzhen, Chongzhen heard that Wang Qiang took Chen Yuanyuan to wait here, only that Wang Qiang had arranged it for him, and hurriedly rushed over, but far away he heard that the courtyard was boiling and the sky was boiling, and the queen's words of scolding Chen Yuanyuan were also heard by him, and he saw that a good thing was disturbed by the queen again, and a queen of the mother of the world actually said such vicious words, and couldn't help but feel angry.

Chongzhen entered the courtyard and saw Chen Yuanyuan fall to the ground, Wang Qiang was beaten covered in blood, and suddenly became furious, he rushed forward with an arrow and kicked Liu Hai to the ground, and scolded in his mouth: "Wang Qiang has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, he is the Honggu of me, the minister of the pillar of the country, you dare to humiliate him like this, do you still bow in your eyes!" Come! Beat this audacious and unruly slave to death! ”

Xiao Shanzi shouted from the side: "Obey." After speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed the bangs and dragged them outward. Liu Hai begged for mercy loudly and said: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, the old slave obeys the queen's orders!" ”

The queen was also annoyed when she saw Chongzhen come up and dispose of bangs without asking, she felt justified, and stepped forward and said: "The emperor came up just right, Wang Qiang abducted the dancing girl without permission, and was discovered by the concubines, so he was dealt with in public, why does the emperor still have to defend him." ”

Chongzhen hated and said: "Wang Qiang took Chen Yuanyuan out at my behest, what is the crime?" Do you dare to punish me together! ”

The queen was shocked, and then guessed that Wang Qiang must have brought Chen Yuanyuan here at the behest of Chongzhen, so his charge of abducting and hiding the dancing girl must not be established, she wanted to take the opportunity to punish Wang Qiang, and did not want to be self-defeating, but she angered the emperor and regretted it in her heart, but she was the lord of the six palaces, and her self-esteem was also very strong, so she admitted her mistake in front of so many people, and she refused to do it anyway, she only turned her head to look away with a calm face, and did not say a word.

Chongzhen didn't pay attention to the queen, reached out to pull Wang Qiang up, stroked his shoulders and said, "Wang Qiang, I came a step too late, and I made you feel wronged." ”

Wang Qiang cried and said with a sad face: "It's not in the way, the slave and maid envoy didn't do it well, it made the emperor angry, and the slave and maid should die." ”

"Okay, come here, send Wang Qiang back to his house, and let the imperial doctor heal him." Chongzhen commanded. He turned his head and saw that Chen Yuanyuan was still fainting on the ground, he was very sorry in his heart, and he was even more resentful of the queen, after a little thought, he said: "Come on, send this little girl to the palace of Concubine Li to rest and recuperate, that Concubine Li is generous and benevolent, virtuous and courteous, and will never bully such a poor little girl with power, and I can rest assured when I put it with her." Tell Concubine Li that I will go to her at night. After speaking, he took a long entourage and left. The emperor arranged like this, and deliberately praised Concubine Li in public, but he really accused the queen of being vicious and mean, and bullying others, the queen's hands and feet trembled, and she couldn't speak, and suddenly saw the little eunuch next to her who reported to herself, and slapped her hard.

Chen Yuanyuan was sent to Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Li had just heard about the fall out between the emperor and the queen, and she couldn't help but gloat a little in her heart, she knew that the queen had brought a group of kabuprostas into the palace from outside in order to invite favors, and she also heard that one of them was named Chen Yuanyuan, who looked very annoying. That Chen Yuanyuan had just been insulted by the queen, her face was pale, her demeanor was awkward, her body was still stained with mud, and her face was full of tears. Chen Yuanyuan after some combing, has become radiant, only the spirit is very poor, Concubine Li by Zhu'er accompanied by the warm pavilion with Chen Yuanyuan to talk, she warmly asked about the matter, and asked about her life experience, Chen Yuanyuan saw that Concubine Li was like a big sister like a charity and gentle, and felt very kind, so he opened his heart, and said about his own palace and his own life experience, when it came to the grievances and sadness, he couldn't help crying, that Zhu'er listened to Yuanyuan's life experience, and he was like himself and had no parents since childhood, Sympathy for the same disease is also accompanied by crying tears.

Concubine Na Li is a scheming person, she heard Chen Yuanyuan tell the whole thing, and she already understood the queen's trick of using Chen Yuanyuan to attract the emperor in order to gain exclusive favor, and the reason why the emperor turned his face with the queen was mostly because of the girl in front of her, she understood Chongzhen's temperament, and with his stubbornness, she would never give up, and most of them would chase him to his palace, and it was impossible to stop it. Concubine Li thought in her heart, she was simply more generous, so that the emperor could fulfill his wish, and this time she could compare the queen to the queen. Thinking of these, Concubine Li began to persuade Yuanyuan to follow the emperor, Yuanyuan was helpless in the palace, and she only listened to what others said, knowing that she could not escape misfortune, but she was helpless, only crying and silent.
