Chapter Seventy-One: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea

"Cry out in pain~"

On the wide hall, a large number of people knelt down densely, most of them were concubines dressed in pearls and emeralds and babbling emperors and grandchildren, and there were also eunuchs and palace maids kneeling on the steps near the palace gate.

Although the status is very different, they are all pale at the moment, with a Qi face, different from the concubine's fake crying, but the inner servants inside and outside the palace are worried about their heads......

Under the cover of the plain blue gauze tent, an old man could be faintly seen lying on the Hu bed, he was restlessly rolling back and forth, his hands clenched to his chest, and he kept wailing softly, as if he had endured great torture.

"Assassin of a thousand killings, ouch...... Poor Dao has always been good, why should he assassinate so-and-so, a sixty-year-old man, what is good to stab, so-and-so is not ...... A few good days can be lived. ”

The painting screen standing on the side wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with an embroidered handkerchief, and cried in a low voice: "Daojun will live a hundred years, but you have been instructed by the Taiqing sage......"

Before she finished speaking, her delicate body twitched a few more times, and tears flowed like a spring, "If Daojun can't live, the concubine won't live if she thinks about it...... It's the moon now, and the water in the pond is cold, and there is no pain for the concubines to jump in......"

"Sister Painting, you ......" Mingyan held on to the painting screen, wanting to persuade her, but she didn't say anything.

As soon as the Emperor Taishang walked out of the palace this morning, an assassin took advantage of his unpreparedness to assassinate the Emperor, and the dagger was poked into his chest, and blood flowed all over the ground.

It had now been three hours since the assassination, and it was noon.

The two captains of the forbidden army also strictly guarded and investigated the people in the Dao Palace, and quickly went to the palace to confess.

A large number of people kneeling in the hall were the concubines who hurried from the palace to hear the news. The Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to filial piety, not to mention that the Emperor Taishang is the emperor's father, if he does not come, in case he is blamed by the queen, or if the imperial history hears the news, these will be a big trouble for the harem concubines.

So, one by one, they rushed to Cuihua Mountain.

"Your Majesty, how are you, the concubine has been thinking about you so hard these days, but I didn't expect that when I said goodbye, I was already ......" A beautiful woman rushed in from the door of the dormitory, although her face was haggard, but it was difficult to hide the joy in her eyebrows.

Stepping on the steps of the inner hall, she hurriedly adjusted her makeup, uncovered the veil, knelt on the edge of the bed, and cried again: "Your Majesty, the concubine is late.....

This person is Zhang Jieyu, who was left in the harem by the Emperor Taishang for several months, the harem is a place of right and wrong, and the concubines who are not favored are not even as good as the palace maids, not to mention that she Zhang Jieyu is the concubine of the Emperor Taishang, and even the palace maids and eunuchs despise her very much.

Although it is not short to eat and drink, but the life of the drunken gold fan in the past is also gradually drifting away, at the winter solstice, only three catties of mutton, five catties of millet to her, if she is the only one who wants to come, how can it be enough, but the concubine's moon is to feed her entire team, it is inevitable to be dwarfed.

But what Zhang Jieyu was surprised by was that after she had been in the "Green Lantern Ancient Buddha" for three months, she didn't expect to have another opportunity, the emperor was seriously injured in assassination, and the harem concubines all went out to visit the sick.

She can finally show her face again!

Although Li Yuan was a little tired of Zhang Jieyu, but thinking that she could still come to see her, he didn't think much about it, and said while shouting pain: "Can you come...... Ouch...... Luckily, if it weren't for some luck, the assassin's dagger would be real...... Oops, I want the life of the poor road! ”

Zhang Jieyu nodded whimperingly, and after crying, she once again took out the demeanor of her former favorite concubine, frowned at the willow eyebrows, and accused Huaping and Mingyan: "What's the matter with the two of you?" If the assassin comes, the palace would rather sacrifice his meager body to protect the emperor from the slightest injury, not to mention that you are a personal palace maid......"

"At that time, the assassin hung down from the beam of the house, and the concubine and Mingyan did not notice, and when the Daojun shouted to arrest the assassin, I found that the assassin had already fled...... Fortunately, Daojun has God to protect his life, if the dagger is extended into three inches, it will really ...... It's hard to say! The painting screen took a step back slightly, leaned against the edge of the incense burner, as if he had done something wrong, lowered his head, and said slowly.

Facing the shirk of the painting screen, Zhang Jieyu expressed her doubts, "At the entrance of the palace, the palace has just seen it, the front of the corridor is about twenty steps away, and the eaves are about three steps away, if the assassin attacks, how can you and the other two of you, as the palace maids beside Your Majesty, have no time to deal with it?" It must be ......"

Without waiting for Zhang Jieyu to finish speaking, Li Yuan panicked, is this woman the female version of Sherlock Holmes?

Hurriedly interrupted: "Zhang Jieyu is right, it must be the two of you who are negligent in your duties, so that a certain assassination will be fined, and you two will be fined for three months." Draw the screen, you were a female historian before, you knew the law and broke the law, the crime was added to the first degree, and the whip was twenty, in order to set an example! ”

Mingyan was stunned, her monthly money was 500 yuan, and 3 months was 1,500 yuan, which was always half a dollar. The copper coins given by the palace are full coins issued by the government, and they have always been half topped with two pieces of money on the outside, so much money...... It's just gone?

But without waiting for her to think about it, the painting screen hurriedly pulled a cigarette, knelt on the ground, and said: "Concubine Xie Daojun is gracious, Xie Zhang Jieyu reprimanded." ”

Mingyan also came back to his senses and echoed in unison.

"Your Majesty~" Zhang Jieyu snorted, and was about to say a few more words to prove how much she cared about the Emperor and redeemed the Emperor's favor to her.

It's best to have three thousand weak water from now on, and only drink one scoop of her!

But at this moment, from outside the door of the dormitory, the sound of the queen arriving, and the concubines who knelt down in the hall automatically separated an aisle in the middle.

But I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, the emperor and the crown prince also stepped into the dormitory one after the other, but a few steps slower than the eldest grandson Wuji.

Outside the dormitory gate.

The eight-year-old Li Chengqian respectfully saluted the two, and then an anxious look appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said: "Father, the queen mother doesn't know how the emperor's grandfather is now?" Are there any dangers? ”

Empress Eldest Sun shook her head and sighed softly, "My father-in-law is already approaching the year of the sixtieth year, and this time he was stabbed again, even if his life is not in danger, but ...... After all, he is old, and he is not as vigorous as when he married his mother-in-law, and he opened his bow and shot birds......."

In the air, sparse snowflakes began to fall again, and the clean steps were soaked in several layers of snowflakes, but only to make the water marks colder.

"The cold winter is the most difficult season for people, and the grasslands in Mobei may have suffered from snowstorms at this moment, and Jieli Khan is worried...... But when a certain came from the palace, many people in Chang'an Street also hung white silk. Li Shimin said with a little sadness.

Jingzhou Luo Yi's rebellion, although he had a headache, but compared to the emperor, it is difficult to compare the two, and he only needs to send a good general to suppress it.

But what is faintly missing in my heart is the affection between father and son.
