Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dark Prison

When Princess An, who was wearing a pink Luo skirt, fell to the ground, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down. The first to react was An Gong's personal maidservant, who exclaimed, "Your Highness, Your Highness An." ”

"Imperial Doctor, call the Imperial Doctor." On the side, the author's Yang Guifei saw the child who fell to the ground, shouted heartbreakingly, and staggered over.

A large group of people surrounded her, and Princess Ziyi was also frightened when she witnessed her arrow shooting into her sister's heart. She dismounted, and walked towards the platform in a daze. Although Emperor Zhaoyuan was also worried about Princess An's comfort, he didn't rush over, but glanced back at Ziyi, signaling her not to worry so much, and then turned around.

The original annual royal hunt ended early because of this incident. Because Princess Ann is dead.

The four were too medical for six hours, and finally looked helplessly at Yang Guifei, who was crying bitterly, and shook her head. Shangguan Ziyi's archery was very accurate, killing with one blow, leaving no room for life. But she never thought of killing her sister. But this matter still became the handle of the Yang family, and they asked the queen mother to give an explanation.

Even in ordinary people's homes, hurting brothers and sisters is a major event against human ethics, let alone in the royal family. Even if it wasn't intentional, it was Shangguan An's arrow shot by Shangguan Ziyi after all.

In the imperial study, Emperor Zhaoyuan was worried about this matter, and among his heirs, he knew Ziyi's temperament best. How could a six-year-old do this? His deep eyes contained a long galaxy, and he looked helplessly at Shangguan Ziyi, who was kneeling below.

"Zhao Di (Shangguan Ziyi's nickname), what's going on with this matter?"

Shangguan Ziyi looked at the ground, her fingers gently grabbed her skirt, and shook her head. He sensed his father's anger, and she knew the seriousness of the matter.

"Then why did you hurt your sister?" Emperor Zhaoyuan asked sharply.

Emperor Zhaoyuan had never been so fierce in front of Shangguan Ziyi, even if his voice was louder. The little girl was frightened, and tears the size of soybeans fell to the ground one by one, "I didn't, father." Someone pushed Sister Ann out. ”

Someone pushed it out, Emperor Zhaoyuan frowned, it seems that this matter has been premeditated for a long time.

"Back to the emperor, the queen mother and Yang Guifei, Yang Shangshu is outside." The eunuch whispered in the emperor's ear.

"Call them in."

"Queen Xuan, Yang Guifei, Yang Shangshu enter the palace."

The queen came first, she looked at Zhao Di who was kneeling on the ground, a little bit, and her nose suddenly became sour.

"The concubines see the emperor."

"Flat." Emperor Zhaoyuan looked at the menacing Yang and the two, figuring out how to deal with it.

Before he could speak, he began to cry. As soon as Yang Guifei saw the emperor, she immediately said with a pearly blossom and a rainy face: "Your Majesty, take pity on my An'er." She was only a six-year-old child, how could she be poisoned like this. Woo, someone must have instructed it, the emperor, you have to be the master of the concubines! ”

The emperor lowered his eyes slightly, glanced at the queen who was speechless on the side, got up and walked around the table and took Yang Guifei in his arms, "An'er was poisoned by this kind of murder, and I will definitely find out the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Ziyi dared to blatantly harm His Royal Highness An during the royal hunting, if you don't punish him severely, I am afraid it will be difficult to calm the anger of the public." Yang Shangshu bowed slightly and said with added oil and vinegar. The queen mother on the side was already trembling with anger, and the hand hidden under the sleeve had been clenched into a fist.

"Blatantly, what Yang Shangshu means is that I am no longer useful enough to make people so rampant in front of me?" Emperor Zhaoyuan asked sharply, a murderous aura flashing in his eyes. was so frightened that Yang Shangshu immediately stopped crying, and Yang Guifei in his arms also restrained her crying.

"How dare Wei Chen talk about it, Wei Chen just thinks that someone is using His Royal Highness Ziyi to harm His Royal Highness An. You say yes, Queen Mother! Yang Shangshu immediately spoke and pulled his head to the queen's body, meaning something that was too obvious.

The queen looked at Ziyi, who was still kneeling on the ground, raised her eyes to look at Emperor Zhaoyuan, sneered, and then returned to her serious face: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse." Isn't Yang Shangshu Mo suspicious of this palace? ”

Yang Guifei, who was in the emperor's arms at this time, couldn't cry even more when she heard this. Emperor Zhaoyuan was helpless, so he had to gently soothe Yang Guifei's back.

"Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen just wants to get justice for his granddaughter." Yang Shangshu began to become a little arrogant in and out of his words. These Zhaoyuan Emperors all saw it in their eyes.

"You all stand down, you really have something to ask Zhao Di." Emperor Zhaoyuan let go of Yang Guifei, who wiped her tears slightly. "Don't be too sad, concubine, I'll give you an explanation."

"Thank you, the concubine stepped down first." Yang Guifei left the imperial study with a well-behaved look.

On that day, Emperor Zhaoyuan found someone to draw a portrait of the palace maid according to what Zhao Di said, and sent someone to look for it secretly, but found nothing, and finally found the body of the palace maid in a dry well behind the imperial garden.

Although the emperor didn't believe that Zhao Di would kill people, she still asked Zhao Di to go to her grandmother in Beiyuan every day to receive the punishment. That day, after Zhao Di was beaten and put on the board, she walked back with tears in her eyes, but accidentally took the wrong road to Hanguang Palace. took a detour to Yang Guifei's bedroom.

"Daddy, I really didn't expect the emperor to care so much about Zhaodi." Yang Guifei's voice came from inside the hall. "Originally, I wanted to use An'er's death this time to bring down the one in Hanguang Palace, so as to prepare for Tai'er to enter the East Palace in the future, but I didn't want to underestimate the relationship between the emperor and the queen."

"Don't worry, no matter what, this time, I will make the queen and her daughter pay the price for this matter with the children of the Yang family."

Zhao Di hid outside the hall, listening to everything the adults said in surprise, and at this time she saw the prince of Thailand running into the hall.

"Mother, what do you mean by that?" Shangguan Tai asked in a milky voice. "You killed Sister An, why did you do this."

"T'er, why are you here? How dare you say this, your sister has to die, and the queen mother is also very sad, you are the only one behind the scenes, you have to behave well in front of your father. ”

That day, Zhao Di didn't know how she finally returned to Hanguang Palace, and the queen looked at her red and swollen palms and carefully medicated her. Zhao Di looked at the behind-the-scenes in front of her, becoming more and more aggrieved, why did Sister An, who was not killed by herself, go to Beiyuan every day to receive punishment. She suddenly burst into tears, and the queen saw Zhao Di suddenly burst into tears and asked what was wrong.

Zhao Di told the queen everything she saw today, and she thought that the queen mother would go to the emperor to seek justice for herself. But when the queen heard this, she only told her that she could not tell anyone about this matter. That's Zhao Di doesn't know anything, why it's obviously not her fault, why doesn't the queen mother let her say it.

"Queen Mother, it's not the emperor's fault, why don't you let me tell my father. Why? Zhao Di questioned her mother. In exchange, the result was a slap from the queen's mother, and half of her face was swollen all of a sudden. The queen ordered her to be imprisoned in a secret prison in the Hall of Light.

The dungeon was dark and damp, and it was pitch black inside, and there were no lights. Zhao Di sat in the secret prison, at first she cried and wanted the queen mother to let her out, and she banged on the door vigorously. But no one paid any attention to her, and she cried for a long time, until her throat was hoarse, and her tears dried up, and she was tired, so she lay down on the cold ground and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was still pitch black, no one came to see her, no one gave her food, and no one gave her a blanket to shelter from the cold. She sat on the floor, staring blankly at the only small window in the dungeon, but she was too short to reach it.

At that time, Zhao Di didn't know how painful the slap in the face hurt in the queen's heart. She also didn't know how long she had been crying inside, and how long the queen had been standing outside.

Three days later, the door to the dungeon finally opened. Zhao Di opened her eyes groggily, and the light through the crack in the door stung her eyes. There was also a black figure, standing in front of him.

"Are you still making trouble?"

"Mother, queen!" Zhao Di screamed weakly, and then fainted completely.
