Chapter Ninety-Eight

In the middle of the night, worry-free is far away in Zixiang Pass, her dormitory, no, to be exact, how can there be a man who is half naked on her bed? And this man is breathing evenly at the moment, and he is sleeping soundly, as if he is sleeping in his own home. The situation was so weird that she exclaimed, and it was too late.

The hazy sleepiness dissipated at this moment, and she opened her eyes wide to confirm again and again that she was not dazzled, this palace was heavily guarded, who was so bold? After a moment of stunnedness, she immediately jumped out of bed. Without hesitation, he picked up the Xuanlu next to the bed and pointed directly at the man on the bed.

And just after she exclaimed, the palace people on duty outside the hall immediately shouted: "Niangniang, what's the matter?" Were there any assassins? Speaking of the word assassin, the voice was already sharp, as if extremely frightened, and immediately spread throughout the entire Manxiang Palace.

As soon as the Praetorian Guards on night patrol heard that there were assassins in the Imperial Concubine's dormitory, they immediately drew their swords and rushed towards the Manxiang Palace, and without waiting for a notification, they hurriedly broke into the dormitory.

"Where are the Assassins?" The person for this is Geng Yi, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, who is known for his upright temperament and jealousy, which is why he was able to become the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard in a short period of time. As soon as he entered the house, he shouted, "Protect my mother!" ”

The palace maids and eunuchs of the Manxiang Hall also gathered.

These were all born in the blink of an eye, and Manyao was shocked in her heart, she didn't have time to think about it at all, so she had already stopped it with a voice: "Stop." "She had a man in bed, and she couldn't let people know about it, it was a knee-jerk instinct. Hurriedly put down the bed curtain, put the carving in his hand behind his back, and scolded at the door: "Who let you in?" ”

The guards who had already rushed in hurriedly paused, not daring to take another step. Geng Yi couldn't help but wonder when he saw the imperial concubine standing there in a dignified manner, and there was no one else in the room except her. Seeing that she was only wearing a middle coat, and her face was unhappy because of their intrusion, he quickly knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to ask for guilt: "I heard that there were assassins just now, and I was worried about the safety of my mother, so I took someone to break into my mother's dormitory, offended my mother, please forgive my mother!" ”

The guards behind also knelt down, "Please forgive me." ”

The cold moonlight poured through the diamond-shaped panes into the dark and dark room, and the spacious dormitory was a little crowded due to the sudden influx of too many palace maids, eunuchs, and guards.

Wandering down, he quickly calmed down from this sudden situation. The mind was racing fast, thinking not about the identity of this man and the purpose of his appearance here, but thinking about what would happen if this matter got out? She glanced at the palace maids, eunuchs and guards in the room, and calmly ordered: "The palace is fine, all retreat." ”

"Yes." The guards were relieved to see that they had not been condemned. was about to exit the door, suddenly, behind the carved bed curtain behind Manyao, a charming and confused male voice came, as if he had just woken up, with a slight dullness, and it was very clear to the ears of everyone present: "Niangniang, why don't you go to bed yet?!" ”

As soon as he heard the voice, Manyao's heart sank, and he sneered secretly, this person was really awake at the right time. Now, even if she jumps into the Yellow River, she can't wash it! This kind of thing, once encountered, is not clear, even if she pointed out that there was someone in the house at the beginning, and asked the guards to arrest the man and correct the Fa on the spot, I am afraid that it will be passed out, it will not be like that. If someone sets up this game, they will not allow the calm to pass, and the man on the bed can sneak into the palace quietly without being noticed, and I am afraid that he is not a character who can be caught easily.

Sure enough, the group of guards and palace eunuchs opened their mouths in shock, staring at them in disbelief, their expressions were as if they had been struck by lightning, and they were stunned and said that the emperor was out on the expedition, how could there be a man on the bed of the imperial concubine?

"Sister Princess, what's wrong?" Xiao Ke had already fallen asleep, and only got up when he heard the movement.

He didn't make a sound. There was an eerie silence in the room, and you could hear pins falling. Xiao could see that the atmosphere was strange, everyone didn't speak, and she was silent.

The curtain of the bed was lifted, and a seductive-looking man was shirtless, sleepy-eyed and stretched out a hand, as if he wanted to pull the woman standing by the bed in, and said, "Niangniang, it's so late, rest quickly." The habitual language and tone, as well as this ambiguous action, make people think that this situation seems to be no longer a day or two. The palace maids, eunuchs, and guards finally reacted, and their expressions were different, some were frightened, some were disdainful, some were disappointed, some did not want to believe, and some were gloating, and there were as many expressions as there were.

Xiao Ke was stunned for a moment, then strode over and pointed at the man and exclaimed, "Huh? Who are you? You are so bold that you dare to run to the princess's sister's bed! ”

When the man saw her, he opened his eyes as if he had suddenly woken up, looked at the many people in the room, exclaimed, pulled a piece of clothing from the inside and put it on his body indiscriminately, and his voice trembled, "Niangniang, the house is ...... Why so many people? Yes! Could it be ......" He seemed to suddenly think of something, with a frightened expression, he rolled out of bed in a panic, and hugged her leg unguardedly, "Niangniang spare her life!" Am I not doing well enough? Mother, you tell me, I will change, I don't want to die like them......... I don't want to die, mother's life! ”

In one sentence, people can understand that he is no longer a man who has fornicated with the imperial concubine.

The tone is sad and frightened, this man's acting skills are really first-class. Man Yao frowned, and raised his leg to kick him away, but this man was like a marshmallow stuck to her leg, and she couldn't get rid of it. Her eyes were cold, and the Xuan Spirit in her hand slowly pointed at him, and said coldly: "Bengong counts to three, if you don't let go, Bengong will cut off your arm!" One, two...... "Her sword was raised, the cold light shone, and the murderous aura appeared. The man looked at him for a moment, and immediately let go of his hand. Sitting on the ground, his arms propped behind his back, as if he was afraid of being silenced, he dragged his body backwards.

"!" With an angry expression on his face, Geng Yi stepped forward and asked Guigui regardless of his identity: "Being broken by a lowly person, do you want to kill someone?" The humble position has always respected Niangniang's personality, and thinks that Niangniang has the demeanor of a mother, but I didn't expect Niangniang to take advantage of the emperor to go out on the expedition, **Harem! Niang Niang is so dissolute, how can she be the mother of a country? ”

Glancing at him, he ignored his questioning, and Xiao Ke said, "Ke'er, go and call Xiao Xu over." ”

Xiao Ke let out an "oh" and immediately ran out. Geng Yi's face was still indignant, the man's eyes on the ground flashed, and he got up at the right time and ran out, Manyao and Geng Yi shouted at the same time: "Catch him!" ”

The guard at the door obeyed the order to block the man's way, and saw that the man was lying on the ground with a look of fear of death, thinking that he was just a male pet who couldn't get on the stage, but he didn't expect that this person would actually know martial arts. I saw that he had a condensation in his palm, and he waved his palm violently towards the several people who came in front of him, and the strength of the palm was extremely strong, and the guards might as well be swept in the chest and ejected to both sides. The palace maids and eunuchs in the house screamed in fright, and fled with their heads in their hands.

Seeing that the man had rushed out of the dormitory, she flew out of the window nearby, and at the moment when the man was about to turn over the courtyard wall, she slashed at the back of his head.

The man was frightened for a while, he didn't expect her to be so fast, he had to give up and flee for the time being in order to save his life, and quickly turned around to dodge. The closer and more powerful the sword became, the man's martial arts were not weak, but because he had no weapon on his body, he showed signs of defeat before he had gone through three moves.

At this time, Geng Yi rushed out, and when he saw that her move was directed at the man's vital point, he thought that she was going to kill people, so the more angry he felt, the more he wanted to capture this person and hand it over to the emperor to deal with. So, he stubbornly rushed forward, seeing that Manyao was about to defeat the man, but because of Geng Yi's intervention, he gave the man a chance to escape.

can be the leader of the Praetorian Guard, and his martial arts will not be weak. Moreover, Manyao didn't want to hurt his life, so it was extremely troublesome to get in the way.

"Get out of the way!" Manyao shouted at Geng Yi.

"Niangniang wants to destroy the witness, and it is difficult to obey her life." Geng Yi has the spirit of defending justice and dying, he is angry, dangles a sword, slaps him in the chest with a backhand, takes advantage of his time to dodge, swings a sword, and mercilessly slashes at the hind leg bone of the man who is about to escape, and in an instant, blood splatters out, and the man screams in pain and falls to the ground. She swept over and quickly clicked on the man's acupoint.

Those guards, all stunned on the spot, looked at her in surprise, more than two months ago, they all knew that the imperial concubine's archery skills were accurate, but unexpectedly, her swordsmanship was also so good. Geng Yi was even more shocked, he didn't expect the imperial concubine to be able to arrest the man who also had strong martial arts under his obstruction, and it only took half a pillar of incense. Shock was shock, but seeing that she didn't kill the man, she was relieved.

After a while, Xiao Sha arrived. Manyao ordered the man to be brought to the main hall for interrogation, but no matter how they pressed him, the man did not enter the oil and salt, and only insisted that he was the male favorite of the imperial concubine and had been serving the imperial concubine for several days.

Man Yao sat in a chair, his face calm and composed, not in the slightest because of his fullness. Angry and resentful, she knew very well that this person was just a pawn in someone else's hands, not even a corner. Her calmness made her look a little deeper. After Geng Yi said a few words to the man who claimed to be the male pet, they all stayed......

Manyao stretched out her hand to take the blue and white porcelain cup on a white background, the rim of the cup shone white in the light, reflecting her fingers as smooth as jade. Xiao Ke's medicine is indeed extraordinary, such a serious wound has not left any scars at all, and the same is true on his legs.

After the fourth watch, seeing that she couldn't ask anything again, she got up lightly and ordered: "This person trespassed into the dormitory of this palace without permission, and he has bad intentions, so lock him up first, and try him again in the future." After a pause, he looked at Geng Yi and said in a deep voice: "Geng Yi, as the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, actually committed such an incident on his duty day, what should you be guilty of?" ”

Geng Yi scoffed at this, "If Niangniang wants to kill the despicable position, just do it, you don't have to bother with your tongue." If you want to let the leader help the mother deceive the emperor, you can't do it! ”

Man Yao sneered: "You're not afraid of death!" However, you think you are righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact you are stupid. You were derelict in your duties first, and you obstructed the palace from catching the assassin later, which is indeed enough to kill your head, but this palace thinks that you are conscientious and loyal to the emperor, so I will spare your life for the time being. Stand down. ”

Geng Yi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect to let him go so easily, and he didn't say anything about the threat of keeping them secret. I can't help but wonder.

After everyone retreated, Xiao Xu frowned and said, "Master, these people can't stay." ”

He waved his hand and said with a solemn face: "This matter can't be settled by killing them." Even if they all die, rumors will spread early tomorrow morning. And their sudden disappearance only confirms the truth of the rumors. Another point, she doesn't want to slaughter her own people because of other people's conspiracy, and there is always another solution.

Xiao Ke said anxiously: "Then what should we do?" If it spreads, it will ruin the reputation of the princess's sister, and ah, what if the emperor believes it? ”

What is the reputation of ruining oneself? In a few days, the court will be very lively. As for the unintentional...... Will he believe it?

Xiao Ke frowned, he was really worried about her, after thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his hand and patted his head, not realizing that this action was like a certain person. She cried out, "Ah! I figured out how to do it. Sister Princess, I can use medicine to make them forget what happened just now, so that even if someone deliberately spreads the rumors, but no one can prove that they saw it with their own eyes, then it will be fine."

It's a great way to do it! Xiao Xu nodded in agreement, "Ke'er has a good idea, if you want to do it, you have to do it now." ”

"Wait." This method has also been thought of by Manyao. "By doing so, maybe you can solve some problems, don't run away... Xiao Xu, how many war horses do we have? ”

Suddenly changing the topic, Xiao Xu didn't know why, and replied: "There is almost nothing, this time the war horses used by the Luo family army have been picked and picked, and there are dozens of left, if they are used to pull the bronze chariot, I am afraid it will not work." The emperor intends to send envoys to the Dusty Wind Country to buy war horses, but now, the envoys of the Dusty Wind Country were killed at the border of our country, and the whole of the Dusty Wind Country was angry about it, and I am afraid that our envoys will not only not see the king of the Dusty Wind Country, but it will be difficult to come back alive. ”

Manyao Dai's eyebrows frowned slightly, this matter is also the most silly she is currently the most. Most of them are cavalry, and the war horses cultivated locally in the south of the Yangtze River are adapted to the warm climate, and it is difficult to adapt to them once they enter the north. It would be great if you could buy a war horse from the Dustwind Country. She remembered the bold man, and remembered that before parting, he had said that if she needed his help, just look for him. I don't know if this sentence counts? At that time, he was still a prince, but now, he is already a monarch, shouldering the burden of a country, will he be different because of her? I'm afraid, even if he wanted to, his courtiers wouldn't agree.

After a moment of contemplation, she limped around the room, looked for a pen and paper, and after a moment of hesitation, as if she had made up her mind, wrote a letter.

Xiao Sha stood beside her, looking at what she wrote, his brows furrowed more and more, and he shouted disapprovingly: "Master! ”

Xiao Ke was curious, and ran over to take a look, but she had already put away her pen. With no waves on his face, he handed the letter to Xiao Xu, undoubtedly, and said, "Send it overnight." ”

As expected, on the second day, the rumor that the imperial concubine was raising a male pet by Geng Deputy Huanling and others spread in the palace and even outside the palace, and the spread of the rumor was first-class. With false rumors, some people call her a demon concubine, some people call her an adulteress, and even worse, they try their best to sneak into the palace, risk death to stop the driver, and say that they want to be her male pet. By the third day, those rumors had extended from moral condemnation to criticism of ambition. She didn't do anything to hunt and watched the rumors spread.

On this day, the Qianhe Palace, the early dynasty time. Dressed in a phoenix robe, she sat alone behind the curtain, quietly looking at this empty and solemn hall. In the palace, except for her and Xiao Xiangzi, there is no one else. Those ministers said that her private male pet was morally corrupt, and she was ambitious in taking over the government, and the two forces that had always been at odds were very united this time, boycotting the court together, kneeling outside the palace, waiting for the emperor's return, that determination was unprecedented, and the emperor did not give up if he did not dispose of her as a "demon concubine".

Zongzheng came back sooner than she thought. The army was not withdrawn, led by the Nine Emperors and Wuxiangzi, he returned to the court alone, fast horses, two days and three nights, non-stop, sleepless.

When he appeared on the main hall of the early dynasty with an angry face, the imprisoned ...... The person who claimed to be her male favorite was escorted to the palace by the jealous and hateful Deputy Commander Geng.

It was originally a royal scandal, and it was not easy to publicize, but this matter has become known to everyone, and there is no explanation, so it can't be passed.

The ministers who followed the emperor into the palace looked at the woman who was still sitting behind the curtain in unison, and an old minister reprimanded: "The emperor is here, why do you still have the face to sit in that position?" Don't come down and confess your sin! "He didn't even save the word "mother". She slowly stood up, opened the golden beaded curtain, and everyone faded away in her eyes, except for the man who had not seen him for many days, and became more and more emaciated and emaciated.

Phoenix Nirvana, the soul of women
