Chapter 160: Arrest
Empress Dowager Wan didn't say anything more, so she walked to the main hall with Ruoqiu's support. Xiao Shunzi hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, the light in the hall was a little dim, and the sound of their footsteps alarmed Gongliang Rongruo, who was standing in the dark, and shouted: "I said that I don't see anyone, get out!" ”
"Your Majesty......" Xiao Shunzi just said two words, a porcelain vase smashed under his feet, and the snow-white porcelain pieces exploded all over the ground, "I told you to get out, get out!" ”
Xiao Shunzi was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, not daring to speak, and the Empress Dowager Wan looked at the messy ground and said in a deep voice: "Don't you even see the mourning family?" ”
The hall suddenly fell silent, and then a figure slowly walked out from the darkness, it was Gongliang Rongruo. When she saw his appearance at the moment through the little light of heaven cast in from the window, Ruoqiu couldn't help but exclaim.
Gongliang Rongruo's eyes were bloodshot, his thin lips were pursed into a cold and hard arc, and his long hair slipped down from the crooked golden crown and scattered on his cheeks. The most striking thing is the little red on the right finger.
Empress Dowager Wan was also taken aback, and hurriedly came to his side and grabbed his injured right hand, "What's going on?" ”
If Gongliangrong didn't speak, just looked at her silently, Empress Dowager Wan glanced left and right, and said, "You all go out." ”
When only their mother and son were left in the hall, the Empress Dowager Wan said with a solemn expression: "Tell the queen mother, what happened?" ”
Gongliang's thin lips trembled for a while, and after a long time, he spoke: "My son knows who the night camp is in. ”
Empress Dowager Wan's eyes lit up, and she said slightly excitedly: "Who is it?" ”
"Stop talking about justice!"
If it weren't for the clear listening, the Empress Dowager Wan would almost think that she had heard it. Justification? That public good speech that did not have the slightest sense of existence among the many princes back then?
Empress Dowager Wan trembled slightly, and after calming down the shock in her heart, she said, "Is it really him?" ”
Gongliang Rongruo said the matter of the Pearl Pavilion, "Although Mr. Tianji's origin and motives are unknown, Erchen and Yingyi have analyzed it, and this matter should be true." After that, he sneered: "Since Erchen is sensible, he has flattered his father everywhere and imitated his words and deeds, but what is the result? In his heart, it is better to stop that with good words! Queen Mother, you have been by his side, haven't you noticed the slightest clue? He hated Emperor Ming so much at the moment that he didn't even want to call his father.
Mrs. Wan said coldly: "If the mourning family knew, how could they allow their mother and son to live for so long." ”
Her answer made Gongliang Rongruo a little disappointed, but it doesn't matter anymore, now that he knows the truth, Gongliang's words stop the mother and son are only dead!
Gongliangrong saw that Empress Dowager Wan was silent, thinking that she was worried about the battle in the north, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, even if that scumbag really wins the coalition of Wu and Xia, Erchen has a way to kill him." And Chen, none of them want to live! ”
He has always been cold, what a brother, what a concubine, compared with the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme, it is not worth mentioning at all.
Empress Dowager Wan bandaged his hands for him, and said with a solemn expression: "Since the first emperor left the dark night camp to the Chen family and son, I am afraid that there are still some things that we don't know, so I can't be careless." ”
Gongliang Rongruo's cheeks twitched fiercely, "The queen mother said...... Edict? ”
Empress Dowager Wan nodded, and after pulling him to sit down in the chair, she took off the golden crown for him and re-tied his hair, "It may not be possible, Shuyuzhai's side...... The queen mother took a trip herself. ”
In this regard, Gongliang Rongruo would not have an opinion, he closed his eyes and felt the subtle numbness when the white jade comb teeth crossed his scalp, "Queen Mother, who do you say is giving advice to the fifth child?" ”
The comb paused slightly, and then combed down the long fine black hair, "The queen mother can't say for sure, but there are not many people around the fifth child, and if you want to come down one by one, you can always find it." ”
"Erchen thought about it here for two whole hours just now, and thought about all the people related to the fifth child, even the seventh and second children, and they didn't let go, none of them matched. This man is like a ghost, nowhere and yet everywhere. With that, he thumped the handrail in distraught.
"Beware of hurting your hand again." Empress Dowager Wan admonished, and said lightly: "People are people, how can they be ghosts." If you comb it carefully, you can always find clues. ”
Gongliang Rongruo took a few breaths hard, barely calmed himself down, and read the names one after another, "Second child, Second Child, Second Child, Wu Ming ......"
As he said, there are not many officials who have a relationship with Gongliang, and he quickly read it all over, although there are civilian, military and military generals, but none of them are geniuses who can create a three-talent array.
After pulling up the last strand of black hair, Empress Dowager Wan took the golden crown resting on the table, looked at him, took the mirror and said, "Look, this is what a king of a country should look like." ”
Gongliang looked at himself in the mirror, the corners of his lips drooped down again before he was bent, and said with a gloomy expression: "What if it looks like again?" He never agreed! ”
Empress Dowager Wan knew who he was talking about, and her fingers slowly stroked his face, "It doesn't matter what the first emperor thinks, what matters is who is sitting in the Xingde Hall today." ”
Her persuasion made Gong Liangrong gradually calm down, and continued the question just now, "Has the queen mother guessed the identity of that person?" ”
Empress Dowager Wan lit all the candles in the hall, blew out the lamp pole in her hand, and turned around, "The language is cold and solemn, and I don't know how to change." A year ago, the officials who had a friendship with him could be counted on one hand, but now even Meng Tang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was faintly on his side, did the emperor know what this meant? ”
Gongliang's face was shocked, "Did the queen mother say that that person only appeared in the last year?" ”
Empress Dowager Wan said: "Yes, the emperor might as well think about it, who has been around Yuzhi in the past year." ”
"Who ......" Gongliang Rongruo thought carefully, and after a long time, he seemed to think of something, and blurted out: "But Wu Ming? ”
Empress Dowager Wan said in a rambling voice: "Wu Ming is a Jinshi taken by the first emperor himself, and the mourning family also read the test papers of the palace examination, he is talented, but it only stops there, and he can't create a three-talent array." Without waiting for Gong Liang to speak, she said, "The emperor might as well think about the connection between that person and the language." ”
Gongliang Rongruo's ten fingers trembled slightly, and he said in disbelief: "Is the queen mother talking about Ye Cairen?" ”
After Empress Dowager Wan nodded, he shook his head again and again, "Erchen has tried her, except for her outstanding appearance, she has nothing else extraordinary, just a mediocre woman." ”
Empress Dowager Wan let out a long sigh, "The mourning family used to have the same thoughts as the emperor, but now that I think about it carefully, I'm afraid that we have all been deceived by her." ”
Gongliang said puzzledly: "Why did the queen mother say this? ”
Empress Dowager Wan stared at him and said slowly: "What if she deliberately told you that day?" ”
"Deliberately?" Gongliangrong was about to ask, but suddenly understood something, "Did the queen mother say that Ye Xuemei deliberately said those words, so that her son thought that she was empty, and that proverb had nothing to do with her?" ”
