Without a Trace Volume 9 Chapter 24 Changes
、、、、、、、
Qiu Qingyuan, who was detained alone, was always in a cranky thinking, reasoning or reasoning, and the emperor had no trace to be sorry for him, but he actually did such a rebellious thing, which really violated his father's usual teachings. He buried his head deeply, but there was still a trace of luck in his heart. On that day, after the little eunuch brought the hive into the palace and placed it, he went to investigate, and finally found that the hive was a poisonous bee. Now, the emperor should be just an ordinary sting, so that the sin on his body is not so deep.
However, he never understood why Xiao Yunchao, who was already unspeakably expensive, would make such a big bet. As the elder brother of the Queen Mother, the Xiao family's power is all over the government and the opposition, what else can they fight for?
He struggled to move his stiff body, and only then did he realize that he had been sitting in this position for a long time.
Thinking of the friendship with Xu Chun and others, he couldn't help but show a wry smile, if it weren't for the fact that when he was a guard in the palace of Qinjun that day, he had received a lot of benefits from Xiao Yunchao, and if he had this handle in the hands of others, how could he take this risk. Not only that, Xiao Yunchao also hinted that there were still other people in the palace who were used by him, and if he didn't comply, his sins would be exposed, and he would kill his whole family, which forced him to make up his mind. Fortunately, he was not deceived by Xiao Yunchao's rhetoric, if he really used poisonous bees to cause chaos in the court, then he would die without a place to bury.
The door creaked open, and the candle in the room had long since been extinguished, so it took him a great deal of effort to recognize the man. It was Geng Jing, the chief eunuch beside the queen. I saw Geng Jing say expressionlessly: "Qiu Qingyuan, the queen Yizhi, summons you to the side hall of the Qinzheng Palace to meet you." ”
Qiu Qingyuan hurriedly agreed. After getting up, Fang felt a stumble, and finally stabilized himself and walked out of the room. Only then did he realize that there was a look of disgust hidden on Geng Jing's face, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. When he arrived at the side hall, Geng Jing quietly retreated, and by the way, he also covered the door.
In the middle of the hall stood a woman dressed in palace clothes, and behind her stood two guards. It was the first emperor who pointed out to the wind without a trace of two of the eight people, Ye Feng and Liao Suiqing. Of course, Qiu Qingyuan knew that the woman was Queen Hai Ruoxin, so he quickly knelt on the ground and saluted him. The queen, who had been kind and pleasant in the past, did not signal him to get up this time, and this unusual situation immediately made him panic, and his eyes kept glancing at the two guards.
"Qiu Qingyuan, are you guilty?" Hai Ruoxin suddenly spoke, "What is the crime of murdering the emperor, you should know very well, don't you need to say more about this palace?" This palace is just curious, you have been blessed with divine grace for a long time. Dare to do such a rebellious thing, is this the way of a minister? ”
The words that pierced Qiu Qingyuan's face turned pale, and it took a long time before he replied with difficulty: "Queen Mother Mingjian." I haven't done anything that violates the law, I don't know what Niangniang is referring to? Now, he has to flatly deny that the guilt of murdering the holy driver is too heavy.
He couldn't afford it.
"It's a clean push." Hai Ruoxin sneered, "Since you have done it but you don't dare to take responsibility, what is this the way of a manly man?" This palace will not be verbose with you, if you honestly confess to the mastermind behind the scenes, you can still atone the credit, and maybe this palace can still plead with the emperor. But if you insist on guaranteeing for others, this palace is too lazy to bother to work hard, and a decree will be given to you to death, and then you will be questioned about your local family. Such outrageous and unreasonable words spat out of her mouth, but they all showed the authority of the queen, and the two guards behind her were stunned.
Qiu Qingyuan was terrified when he heard this, he never expected that this woman who looked peerless would be so ruthless, and without any evidence, she would not only kill him, but also ask his family to blame. However, he resolutely raised his head and finally met the angry eyes, and had to wince and look away. He thought that things were done seamlessly, leaving no traces, but he didn't expect the queen to point the finger of suspicion at him, is it really just a tentative word? With no way out, he had to grit his teeth and replied: "There is no murder in the lowly position, if the queen always believes that it is the act of the lowly duty, the lowly duty has nothing to say, and the guilt is to be punished!" Then he fell on his face, ready to carry it to the end.
Hai Ruoxin suddenly changed color, she didn't expect Qiu Qingyuan to be so stubborn, and her preparation was a little insufficient. She raised her eyebrows, and just wanted to speak again, only to see Geng Jing outside suddenly shouting loudly: "Lord Xiao, the queen is interrogating prisoners inside, you can't go in!" ”
The door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and the furious Hai Ruoxin suddenly saw a familiar figure, and immediately felt cold all over. I saw Xiao Yunchao walking in with a smile, his pace was unhurried, and he was followed by a few inner court guards. He pretended to salute, and then said: "Queen Mother, Weichen heard the rumors, and specially entered the palace to escort him, and if there is any loss of etiquette, please forgive the mother!" ”
Xiao Yunchao's arrogant words suddenly angered Hai Ruoxin even more, and the few people she saw were all dressed in guard clothes, but their faces were tight, and she couldn't help but sneer at each other: "Lord Xiao is really loyal enough, but what kind of people these people are, you should know in your heart." Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, you are not allowed to trespass on the Qinzheng Palace unless you are edicted, don't you even know this court law? Or do you simply ignore the emperor and the palace? ”
A few words stabbed Xiao Yunchao stunned, but he was out of the way this time, where would he be repelled by a few words of womanhood, and his face instantly returned to a casual expression. The queen wronged Weichen when she said this, and Weichen was just entering the palace to escort him. As the Minister of the Guard, how can he ignore the safety of the Emperor and the Queen Mother? He glanced at Qiu Qingyuan on the ground, and then spoke, "Since the queen suspects that this person is related to the emperor's attack, why don't you hand him over to Weichen for disposal." He didn't wait for Hai Ruoxin to speak, so he motioned to a few guards behind him to come forward and get someone.
"Without the order of this palace, who would dare to do it without permission?" Hai Ruoxin shouted, Ye Feng and Liao Suiqing hurriedly took a step forward, dragged Qiu Qingyuan on the ground up, and held him in the middle from left to right, his face full of anger. However, the keen Hai Ruoxin was already faintly aware of the sinister situation from the quiet atmosphere outside the hall. It seems that Xiao Yunchao has already planned for this day, if there is no backup, I am afraid that today's things will definitely not be good.
"The queen mother, the one who knows the times is Junjie!" Xiao Yunchao took a step forward, and his face was no longer pretended to be respectful, "Weichen Shicai has already passed on the Empress Dowager's decree and transferred the guards here, besides, although there are many guards in the palace, Weichen has mastered all the elite, and then with the Empress Dowager's decree to control, you should know what the situation is now." He sneered, waved his hand to signal that the guards did not have to hesitate, and stepped forward to take the people, and then stood with his hands in hand, smiling and watching the excitement.
In this way, Ye Feng and Liao Suiqing were a little unable to cope with it, after all, they still had Qiu Qingyuan as a drag, even if their own kung fu was good, they were a little chaotic at this time. At the critical moment, Qiu Qingyuan finally spoke: "Lord Xiao, you coerce the queen so much, have you really forgotten the way of the minister?" After many struggles, after all, it was the emperor's kindness that prevailed, and Qiu Qingyuan thought that the emperor might wake up at any time, so he made up his mind to fight back.
Qiu Qingyuan's actions immediately surprised everyone, you must know that Hai Ruoxin has already determined his culpability in the attack on the emperor from the actions of Xiao Yunchao and his party just now, but his words made her confused. Not only her, but Xiao Yunchao was also furious, although Qiu Qingyuan's betrayal was just a trivial matter, but at this juncture, he really couldn't tolerate such a change.
"Qiu Qingyuan, are you stupid? The evidence of your murder of the emperor is conclusive, even if the emperor is safe and sound, you will not be able to avoid the crime of connecting the nine clans! Don't think that a defection at this time will have any impact on the situation, I already control most of the inner court, is there only one less Qiu Qingyuan for you? Xiao Yunchao's face was full of disdain, and the guards suddenly forced a few more steps, and some even touched the corner of Hai Ruoxin's clothes.
Hai Ruoxin, whose face changed greatly, didn't have time to move, only heard Qiu Qingyuan yell, and suddenly broke free of Ye Feng and Liao Suiqing, and rushed towards the guards. His martial arts are not weak, at this time, he made a move with hatred, and his momentum was even more extraordinary, and in just one round, a few guards brought by Xiao Yunchao were knocked down. Ye Feng and Liao Suiqing were stunned for a moment, then they were overjoyed, and they hurriedly helped the battle together, so that Xiao Yunchao's people would not be able to gain the upper hand.
At this time, Xiao Yunchao realized Qiu Qingyuan's determination, judged the situation, and withdrew with a low shout. Of course, the so-called Empress Dowager Yi's decree was forged by him, and because of his identity as the Empress Dowager's brother, naturally no one could doubt the truth of it, and Hai Guanyu, who was sitting in the guard's office, was watched by him and couldn't move at all. Who would have thought that the idea of wanting to put Hai Ruoxin under house arrest was actually destroyed by a mere Qiu Qingyuan. However, the guards outside were all under his orders, and he was not worried about what these people could turn over.
With Xiao Yunchao's withdrawal, those guards also retreated together, and Hai Ruoxin breathed a sigh of relief. However, her face suddenly became gloomy, Xiao Yunchao was so blatant, and even kept saying that it was under the order of the Queen Mother, which was strange and unquestionable. Although she thought she understood the mind of the Empress Dowager Xiao, she still felt like she was in chaos at this time. As for the emperor who was still lying on the sickbed, she was not too worried, with those two shadow guards to protect her, the emperor's safety should be safe. It's just that how can I notify the outside of the changes in the palace? Lingyun Zhiwei Traceless Chapter 9 Jiangshan Chapter 24 Changes
