Chapter 189: Provocation
Mo Ziyu and the others had just sent the Queen Mother back to Fengxi Palace, and Emperor Xuan came after a while.
The assassination of the Queen Mother, what an important matter, no matter what Your Majesty is doing, he needs to come immediately.
"It's the son's incompetence that frightened the queen mother!" Emperor Xuan immediately pleaded guilty as soon as he arrived.
The Queen Mother smiled faintly and said: "It's just the performance of the clown who jumps the beam, the mourning family has been through ups and downs for decades, have you seen it less?"
Emperor Xuan glanced at Concubine Yun who was kneeling below, and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
"This flower banquet was organized by the concubines, but I didn't expect it to make the servants mixed in, which was almost unfavorable to the queen mother, it was the concubine's negligence and incompetence, please give your majesty!"
"Last time the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, you made a mistake, originally I thought you would learn a lesson and discuss it with Concubine Li, but I didn't expect you to be so arbitrary! This time the Empress Dowager fortunately has the blessing of God, if you really let the thief succeed and hurt the Queen Mother's phoenix body, I will kill you a hundred times, and you can't afford it!" Emperor Xuan shouted coldly.
"Your Majesty, please give your concubine a death!" Concubine Yun cried.
"If you really wanted to die, you would have been killed by a headlong crash!" Emperor Xuan sneered, "Come on, take Concubine Yun down to reflect, and after the assassin's behind-the-scenes mastermind is found out, we will punish the crime together!"
"Yes!"
Then the two guards left with Concubine Yun, and not long after the poor Concubine Yun was freed, she was grounded again.
"Your Majesty, Sister Concubine Yun has been doing her best to organize this flower banquet, and I also hope that the Queen Mother can be happy, and it is not what she wants if such a thing happens, so don't be angry, take care of the dragon body!" Concubine Li gently persuaded.
"A mistake is a mistake, and it is not because of hard work that it can be compensated. Emperor Xuan sat next to the Queen Mother and asked, "Have you invited the imperial doctor to take a look?"
"The mourning family's body is still strong, it's no big deal, there is no need to mobilize the people. The Queen Mother said, "The reason why the mourning family was able to be safe and sound this time is thanks to the two children. When Mrs. Ning found the assassin, she pounced on the mourning family in time, and lay on the mourning family to protect the mourning family, this loyalty, this filial piety, people were moved! There is also Liu Yao, the county lord, a female stream, when the guards did not arrive, they fought with the assassins, so that the assassins would not hurt innocent people, Your Majesty, you have to reward them well!"
"What the Queen Mother said is that I will reward them well!"
Subsequently, several princes and princesses came together to greet the Queen Mother, and after the Queen Mother comforted them, she rested first because of fatigue.
Liu Ling knelt in front of Emperor Xuan and pleaded with his mother, asked Emperor Xuan to kick him, and then retreated gloomily, but Liu Yu, the seventh prince, was called in by His Majesty and chatted with him alone for a long time.
The three ladies of the Qi Mansion were arranged in the same courtyard, Mo Ziyu and Liu Xu came from the Queen Mother together, Liu Xu did not see the other two, and went back to the house directly with Mo Ziyu.
"You are bold, as reckless as you, this time it is lucky, with Liu Yao here, what if you are unlucky, what if something really happens? Aren't you smart, can't you think of any other way?" Liu Xu scolded angrily, after he heard about Mo Ziyuyong's rescue of the Queen Mother, he also felt afraid for a while, the last time Zizi saved himself was also so deadly, how could such a soft and weak girl have so much courage?
Mo Ziyu smiled and said: "At that time, the situation was really urgent, and I couldn't help but think about it, some things were just the instinct of the body. And the concubine is not someone else, it is the queen mother, the ** of Northern Xia, the grandmother of the prince, if something happens to the queen mother, it will inevitably affect the war with the Western Wei Dynasty now, and the prince will be sad. ”
Liu Xu was angry all of a sudden, hugged Mo Ziyu with some pity, and asked, "Are you desperate to save the queen mother because you don't want this king to be sad?"
He ignored all the previous words, and only remembered the last sentence.
Mo Ziyu didn't bother to explain, so he held it.
Since the eighth lady entered the door, Liu Xu has always taken good care of her, at this time she is in the palace, she is not familiar with life, and she was frightened by the things of the day, so she hoped that Liu Xu could comfort herself after she came, and she thought that Liu Xu did not come out after entering Mo Ziyu's house.
"It must be this little ** pestering the prince to prevent the prince from coming to see me!" The eighth lady gritted her teeth, "When you go back, you must let your cousin clean you up!"
She rolled her eyes and went to the room of the third lady next door.
The third lady was reading a book, and she entered and smiled: "It's so late, the third lady hasn't slept yet?"
"No, is there anything wrong?" the third lady raised her eyes and asked lightly, she hated the Yang family, and naturally she didn't have a good impression of this little Yang family.
"After the prince came back this time, he went to Mrs. Ning, and I don't know what the two of them are doing, and I don't know if they come to see us!"
"Mrs. Ning almost had an accident to save the Queen Mother today, and it is normal for the prince to comfort her at this time. The third lady smiled, "If you can save the queen mother by forgetting your life and death, the prince can also accompany you all night!"
"I'm just not as lucky as hers, if I had this opportunity, I would definitely die to the queen mother!" The eighth lady said unconvinced, "The queen mother is fine, she is fine, what's the big deal, how can she make her seem to have made a great achievement! Your lady Ning's luck is also good, she was originally just a slave, but she won the favor of the prince, and now she is in the eyes of the queen mother! But no matter how much she tosses, this princess is still my cousin's!"
The third lady's eyes rolled slightly, and she said softly: "It's all the Yang family, don't you want to be the princess?"
Her voice lowered, and she continued: "Today's princess Qi may be tomorrow's crown princess, and the queen of other days, are you willing to be subordinate to your cousin all the time?"
The eighth lady's eyes were frenzied for a moment, and then she smiled awkwardly: "Where do I have that ability, cousin's things, I don't dare to rob them!"
"Do you know what you're going to be sent to the palace, just because the prince stabbed the princess?" the third lady sneered, "The prince stabbed your cousin in the abdomen, and the imperial doctor said that she couldn't have children anymore." At this time, you came in, and it was obvious that she wanted to borrow your belly and give birth to a child with the blood of the Yang family, and then send you away on a crime and raise the child by her side. ”
"Impossible!" the Eighth Lady's brows furrowed tightly, "They can't do this to me!"
The third lady smiled: "If you can give birth to a son one day, with your identity, you may not be able to sit in the position of this princess." Think about it, can a woman who can't have children become a queen?"
The suppressed frenzy in the Eighth Lady's eyes surfaced again, she swallowed her saliva, and muttered, "She can do it, why can't I?"
The third lady's eyes rolled slightly, and a brief sneer crossed the corner of her mouth, and then she said: "I have only told you about tonight's incident, and you must not tell anyone else, otherwise if she knows her plans to be known, maybe she will change her sister into the house." Also, what I'm talking about tonight, think about it yourself. ”
When the eighth lady left, she didn't have the heart to think about Mo Ziyu, she was thinking about her cousin not being able to have a child, what qualifications she had to become a princess, if she gave birth to a child, how could she be willing to be taken away by her!
On the other side, the mood of the people in the Qin Palace's mansion was not high.
Needless to say, the carefully prepared dance finally became a joke, and her feet were broken, and now she can't get out of the palace, so she can't complain to the prince.
Shangguan Yu'er was worried about Concubine Yun, no matter what, she and Liu Ling were nominally blessed, if something happened to Concubine Yun, Shangguan Mansion would also be implicated, so she wrote a letter to inform her family of what happened in the palace.
She was also worried about Mo Ziyu, the situation was very chaotic, and she didn't know if she was injured.
While pondering, the door was opened, Shangguan Yu'er looked back, only to see Liu Ling entering, got up and saluted, and asked, "But have you seen your mother?"
"My father didn't allow anyone to see my mother, and so did my king. Liu Ling said, sitting down with a headache, the mother concubine had not yet restored the title of concubine, and something happened again.
Shangguan Yu'er noticed that there were footprints on Liu Ling's clothes, so she didn't ask anything, and said in silence: "Can the assassin find out the history?"
"The spy of the Western Wei Dynasty. Liu Ling said, "Now that the Western Wei Dynasty is at war with the Northern Xia, and they are at a disadvantage, they want to assassinate the Queen Mother, so as to disturb the morale of the Northern Xia army, which is really hateful!"
"The spy of the Western Wei?" Shangguan Yu'er frowned slightly, "Last year, General Mo Shao seemed to have found a spy of the Western Wei Dynasty, didn't he investigate it thoroughly?"
"What's the use of talking about that now. Liu Ling said, "Now that the Queen Mother has been assassinated, it is a first-class matter, and my father will definitely investigate it." ”
"This investigation, but I don't know how much turmoil it will cause. Shangguan Yu'er sighed softly and said.
"What will happen to the concubine?" Shangguan Yu'er asked after a pause.
Liu Ling shook his head.
"The concubine has already written to her grandfather, and grandpa will write to her mother tomorrow to plead for mercy. Shangguan Yu'er said.
"Thank you. Liu Ling said, he sighed, when something happens, it's not bad to have someone who can discuss or confide.
At this time, Caixia said outside: "Lord Wang, Madame is not feeling well, please come over and take a look!"
Liu Ling pressed his temples a little irritably: "If you are not feeling well, you have to go to the imperial doctor, will this king see a doctor?"
Caixia took a look outside the house.
"Since Lady Fleur is not feeling well, the prince will go and take a look, and nothing will happen. Shangguan Yu'er persuaded.
