Chapter Seventy-Six: Xiaobai is hijacked
Zhangque Kingdom, Imperial Palace.
Empress Zhang was anxiously walking back and forth.
A palace maid dressed in colorful clothes, with small steps, hurriedly stepped into the palace gate and walked over.
Empress Zhang hurriedly greeted her: "How is it?" But inquire? ”
The palace maid shook her head slightly: "The emperor drove all the palace people out, leaving only the second prince inside." ”
"What the hell is going on? Summoned Yin'er back in such a hurry, but did you think that brother was about it? Empress Zhang said anxiously.
Of the two siblings in her mother's family, none of them made her worry-free, and she got into trouble everywhere all day long.
A few days ago, I heard that the Zhang brothers were impeached again, no, the brothers begged to come to her again.
After all, it is flesh and blood, although Queen Zhang hates iron and steel, she can't sit idly by.
However, these few times when he saw the emperor's husband, before she could open her mouth to plead, the other party would change color as if he expected what she would say, and even pointed to her, warning her not to try to spare the government.
Seeing her husband's increasingly indifferent attitude, she became more and more uneasy.
For the past two days, her eyelids have been beating wildly, telling her as if something is going to happen.
At lunchtime, Empress Zhang faced a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and had no appetite at all.
"Pull it off!" Empress Zhang took two chopsticks and threw the silver chopsticks irritably.
Without waiting for the palace maid to react, the second prince, Qin Wuyin, strode in.
"Yin'er!" Empress Zhang greeted her happily, and while she was cautiously observing her words and expressions, she said to the maids, "Don't withdraw yet!" Add another pair of chopsticks! ”
Qin Wuyin let his mother pull him and sat down at the table.
The palace people were sent out of the palace.
"What did your father do when he brought you back?" Empress Zhang asked with a smile while serving her son vegetables.
"Queen Mother, the harem is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, you seem to have forgotten." Qin Wuyin smiled slightly and looked at Empress Zhang.
Empress Zhang had a smile on her face, and said embarrassedly: "The queen mother knows, but there are no outsiders at the moment, let's communicate privately as mother and son, it doesn't matter!" ”
Qin Wuyin sighed: "Queen Mother, you have always known about the matter of the eldest uncle snatching the people's daughter and destroying the Xia family!" ”
Empress Zhang Nuo said: "That was seventeen years ago, and now the old thing about Chen Sesame and rotten grain is revealed, what are you doing?" Besides, hasn't he already changed? ”
"Queen Mother!" Qin Wuyin put the chopsticks down and said, "You must know what the second uncle has done recently!" ”
Empress Zhang looked away weakly: "I don't know, what did he do?" ”
Qin Wuyin simply opened the skylight and said brightly: "Do you know that my father's arrogance towards the Zhang family has been endured to the extreme? Queen Mother, this is the first and last time for the retainer to reveal some news from the court to you. This time, the uncles could not escape, the father and the emperor had already sealed the verdict, they were no longer relatives of the emperor in the future, the property of the Zhang family was confiscated, and the uncles' official positions were cut off and demoted to commoners! ”
Every time he said a word, Empress Zhang's face turned pale.
"Yin'er," Empress Zhang trembled as she shook her son's hand, tears raining down, "You have to find a way to save them!" They are your dearest! ”
Qin Wuyin looked at her with a complicated face, remembering his father's words, he ruthlessly withdrew his hand from her hand: "Queen Mother, my father is still merciful to his subordinates!" If you change to a son-in-law, the uncles are not just dismissed from the government and raided the house, it's so simple! ”
Empress Zhang looked at her proud son in shock and fear, and cried hysterically: "Yin'er, why are you so cold, they are your uncle who loves you, and they are the mother's family of the concubine......
The queen mother's actions were expected by Qin Wuyin.
He smiled helplessly and said, "Queen Mother, do you know that it is precisely because of your connivance that they will be harmed and end up like this?" Do you know how many innocent people you have harmed by your shield for your uncle? It can be seen that the Zhang family has become a scourge, a moth in the imperial court? ”
Seeing that Empress Zhang stopped crying, she looked at him with a flurry of words.
He sighed: "Uncle's matter, that's the end of it!" It's also good to let them stop for a few years! When they change their minds, after a few years, the anger in their father's heart will also disappear, and it is possible to re-seal the official and increase the title! ”
Empress Zhang was rare to be smart once, and when she heard her son's voice, she wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "It's still Yin'er's thoughtfulness, the queen mother blames you!" ”
She stuffed the silver chopsticks back into her son's hand: "While the food is still cold, eat some more!" ”
Qin Wuyin took a few bites cooperatively: "Queen Mother, is there still no news from the imperial brother?" ”
Empress Zhang had a heart and an appetite, she swallowed the food in her mouth, and then said casually: "A few days ago, your imperial brother went to Hongyan. He ordered the envoy to come back first, wanting to stay for a little longer, he has always been playful, maybe he was attracted by a fox, don't worry about him! ”
Qin Wuyin frowned slightly: "Hong Yanguo is different from other countries, in order to prevent him from getting into trouble, it is better to summon him back earlier!" ”
"Yes."
Empress Zhang nodded and said thoughtfully.
Because of what happened to her brothers this time, she also vaguely realized that she should marry her son a concubine and restrain her.
A few days later.
Qin Wuyin looked at the broken blade in his hand, his eyes were full of tears, and he said, "Who did it?" ”
"My subordinates heard the news that King Ding had disappeared during that time." Zhang Que's secret agent replied tremblingly.
"Yes, apart from Li Yi in Hong Yanguo, who else can hurt him!" Qin Wuyin closed his eyes and forced back his tears, and when he opened his eyes again, there was already a ruthless scene inside, "Tell me what you have investigated and tell me in detail!" ”
Hong Yan's harem.
Xiaoguo happily took Bai Ling's hand and said, "Last time I heard Bi Tao say, Sister Bai, you have been here, why don't you wake me up!" ”
Bai Ling smiled slightly and said: "Bai Ling originally planned to be in the back garden, waiting for the Queen Mother to wake up, but she happened to be in a hurry and left halfway." The Queen Mother is easy to find, Bai Ling is deeply sorry! ”
After Bi Tao woke up Xiaoguo, she looked for her in the back garden for an afternoon and told Bai Ling earlier.
Xiaoguo smiled: "Bi Tao is really, why are you talking to your sister about this!" This girl is spoiled by me, she is just a joke, my sister doesn't have to take it seriously! ”
Bai Ling lowered her eyes and smiled, and said in her heart: You really know how to pretend to be a good person and deceive everyone, if I didn't know your nature, I would have almost been deceived by you!
In this short period of time, Bai Ling would quietly go to Funing Palace every night to meet Xiaobai.
Xiaobai's trust and dependence on Xiaoguo made Bai Ling both envious and jealous.
She didn't think of a way to uncover the truth of the matter and let everyone recognize Xiaobai's true face without hurting Xiaobai's face.
Bai Ling took a sip, and the flower tea handed over by the palace maid seemed to be casual: "Niangniang is really tolerant and generous to her subordinates, presumably once you follow Niangniang's side, you don't want to leave your side in this life, right?" ”
Calming down, Bai Ling had roughly sorted out the context of the matter, and she guessed that the people who harmed her should still stay by Xiaoguo's side, and most of the two people she heard in the underground medicine room should also be people from the Queen Mother's side.
In this way, worry-free "is inseparable from the Queen Mother!"
It's just a pity that the pharmacy was destroyed, and there is no evidence to prove it all!
Xiaoguo naturally didn't know that Bai Ling's thoughts turned a hundred times in an instant, she thought that the other party was really praising herself, and said embarrassedly: "Sister Bai has lifted me!" I'm ashamed to say that almost all of the palace people around me are new now! The old people before were all released from the palace! ”
Aren't those two people from Cining Palace? Did her guess go wrong?
When Bai Ling heard this, she was a little anxious and said: "By Niangniang's side, is it possible that there is no one brought by her mother's family?" ”
Although Xiaoguo didn't know why Bai Ling was interested in this matter, he still replied truthfully: "Yes, there is no one, isn't it strange!" ”
She thought of Mama Wang and Lu Ru who were taken away, and scolded King Ding several times in her heart, but finally, she didn't tell Bai Ling about this fact.
Dingwang's Mansion, Study.
Several ministers in the council chamber finally agreed on a very important event, and with relaxed expressions, they said goodbye to the king and returned to their respective homes.
Li Yi picked up a military book, just flipped through two pages, only to hear a sound of breaking the sky, straight towards him, he turned his body sharply, and an arrow crossbow shot into the wall.
A piece of paper was tied to the end of the arrow, and Li Yi opened it to look at it, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
According to what the other party said, he came to the farewell pavilion outside the city, and as soon as he dismounted, a gust of wind struck.
He didn't look back for a few moves, and a moon-blue figure fell in front of him.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, your skills have risen greatly, the second prince of Zhang Que, Qin Wuyin!" Li Yi didn't seem surprised when he saw the appearance of the person in front of him.
"My imperial brother was killed by you?" Qin Wuyin's forehead was bruised.
Li Yi sneered: "You came later than I expected!" ”
Qin Wuyin got the answer he wanted, he pulled out the long crossbow on his waist and pointed at the other party: "Come on!" ”
Li Yi turned his hand, and a long sword lay in his hand.
Qin Wuyin got the internal strength of his master's life, and now his strength is almost the same as Li Yi, but unfortunately the time is too short, and he has not completely domesticated this true qi, so he rushed to Hong Yan to avenge the imperial brother.
Therefore, after several competitions, Li Yi has gradually gained the upper hand.
On the other side, Bai Ling tried several times, but Xiaoguo, who didn't know it, was perfectly resolved, and he gradually lost patience in his heart.
Just when Bai Ling made up his mind and had an extra porcelain bottle containing medicinal powder in his hand.
Fukuko barged in in panic, interrupting her plans.
"Oh no, Queen Mother! The emperor has been kidnapped! ”
"What did you say?!" Xiao Guo and Bai Ling stood up in shock at the same time, and said in unison.
"The emperor's kite was hung on the tree, and he followed the minion to learn to climb the tree, and suddenly, the person who came out of the tree, he pushed the minion down the tree with one palm and grabbed the emperor!" Xiaofuzi said with a crying voice.
"Take us there!" Xiaoguo said eagerly.
Xiaobai and his captors were standing on the thick branches of a big tree.
When Xiaoguo and the others arrived, the Ouchi guards in the palace had already surrounded the big tree.
The kidnapper was dressed in gray, his face was covered, and only a pair of cold eyes full of anger were revealed.
