The empty and silent hall was filled with thousands of emotions because of his arrival. The young emperor who had rushed back from the battlefield stood in the center of the hall in a golden helmet and battle armor, and the morning sun shone through the windows on both sides, refracting the golden light in his sparkling armor, dazzling and dizzy. The ministers involuntarily bowed slightly behind him, as if they were overwhelmed by the momentum of the king. And Zongzheng Wuwu has been worry-free since he stepped into this hall, his eyes have split the space that separates him, and he has landed steadily on the body of the woman behind the curtain. Looking at her calm face after lifting the beaded curtain, and the determined look in her eyes, his gaze did not wander for a moment as her slowly walked out of the figure. Dozens of meters away, she was above His Majesty, he was below His Majesty, a red carpet was connected, and the two ends stared. She looked at his weather-stained tired face, looked into his eyes, and clearly felt the deep emotions that rose from his heart and poured into his eyes, which was a bone-deep sadness, heartache and angry struggle. In the eyes of him, all her composure and calm were gradually torn apart from the deepest depths. Her hands clasped together in the grapefruit, and they tightened their grip, as if they had tightened their hearts, and they would rather be painful than shaken by trembling. Stepping down Dan Majesty, her steps slow but firm, stopped ten steps in front of him.

One person shouted: "Imperial Princess, now, when you see the emperor, do you dare not kneel?" ”

Zongzheng Wuwu's eyebrows frowned slightly, lowered his eyes, hid the emotions in his eyes, didn't speak, looked at Zongzheng Wuwu, and slowly knelt down.

This was the first time, she knelt down to him!

Zongzheng's body was shocked, and his steps were almost unsteady. He watched her hands on the ground, silently bowing in front of him. His pupils shrank, his throat rolled, and his heart bitter.

The ministers were also stunned, not wanting her to really kneel! So, the heart said: She must know that she made a big mistake and it is difficult to reverse it, so she is so obedient.

Zong Zheng looked at her prostrated body without worry, only to feel that his legs weighed a thousand pounds, and every step he took was painful. He walked slowly past her, towards the cold dragon chair that stood tall above him, and she stood up straight behind him, still kneeling, only the straight lines of her back were calligraphy of her unusual stubbornness and persistence. After Zong Zheng turned around, he stared at her back for a long time, his eyes were complex and changeable, and he didn't say a word.

When the ministers saw him sit down, they began to bow down to Xin Mountain, but he didn't seem to see or hear, and didn't let them get up, and the ministers knelt and didn't dare to move, and they seemed to be able to feel the heavy grief emanating from the emperor's heart, which was so oppressive and heavy, that the sad aura filled the entire hall space, making everyone breathless.

The words they had prepared were choked in their throats at this moment, and they couldn't speak for a moment. But the anger and complaints in their hearts are rising step by step, and no one in the entire Southern Dynasty can not help but sigh for the emperor's connivance and pampering of the imperial concubine, lamenting that an emperor is so affectionate and difficult to find, but the imperial concubine does not know what to do, and it is unforgivable to hurt the emperor by such debauchery!

An old minister's face was furious, and he admonished: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine took advantage of the emperor's expedition to go out, regardless of morality and etiquette, and even privately raised male pets in the palace, and did such a thing of losing virtue and depravity, which is really hateful!" It was only because Deputy Commander Geng and others broke through that they would not continue to keep the emperor and the subjects of the world in the dark, and now, the evidence is conclusive, please ask the emperor to decide! ”

Another self-proclaimed and upright old minister immediately posted: "The imperial concubine's moral corruption has brought shame on the emperor and even the entire imperial family, which is really an unforgivable sin!" The minister implored the emperor to punish the adulterer and adulteress to death, so as to wash away the shame of our southern dynasty and appease the anger of the people. ”

Zongzheng's face changed drastically, and his cold eyes shone directly at the person who spoke.

The prime minister said: "Your Majesty, the war at the border is tight, if this matter is not properly handled at this time, I am afraid that it will affect the morale of the army, lead to the defeat of the war, and the consequences will be unimaginable." Please ............ the emperor Think! ”

"Please think twice!"

This morning lasted for two hours, which was the longest court meeting since the Southern Emperor ascended the throne.

The criminal department came forward and briefly interrogated the person who was brought to the main hall and claimed to be the male favorite of the imperial concubine, and the person still insisted that he was the three male favorites of the imperial concubine who were forced to become the imperial concubine after the two men, and Geng Yi, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, was a witness, and swore with his life that what he said was true, and it was confirmed from the guards who entered the imperial concubine's dormitory with him that day and the palace maids and eunuchs in the Manxiang Palace.

There are well-known and upright deputy commanders Geng who testify with their lives, and these pretentious and upright pedantic ministers are convinced of the imperial concubine's private male favorite. They have always pretended to be high and extraordinary, how can they be willing to bow down to such a morally corrupt woman? As a result, the faces of the ministers were indignant, and the tone of their words was even more intense, and almost all the words used to accuse and abuse the woman were exhausted, and she became a woman who was worthy of the husband in the mouths of the righteous and awe-inspiring ministers. And those ministers finally stopped because of the silence of the emperor from beginning to end. They began to express their anger and dissatisfaction with the actions of the imperial concubine.

An old minister took off his official hat, put it at his side, and slammed his head on the gold brick floor, thumping. The ministers followed suit, and for a while, the sound of kowtowing came and went.

In the solemn and solemn Qianhe Palace, on the gold bricks, blood was splashed and mottled down. Several people's foreheads and scalps bloomed, but they still did not stop, and they had the momentum of admonishing each other with death.

Since ancient times, emperors have not lost the hearts of the people, ministers, and soldiers, and at this moment in the Southern Dynasties, the war is chaotic, rumors are everywhere, the people are angry, the military is unstable, and hundreds of officials are dead... In such a situation, if the emperor can't make a perfect disposal, the Southern Dynasty will be in danger!

That's the purpose of the layout, right? Man Yao has been kneeling quietly, facing the door of the main hall, and his posture has never changed. Listening to the generous and fierce words of the ministers, her face was unusually indifferent, as if all this had nothing to do with her. Suddenly, on the high platform behind him, there was a loud "bang" on the dragon chair, and then, after the emperor's extreme patience, Long Yan was furious, and shouted angrily: "Enough!" ”

The entire hall was shaken, his body stiffened, his lips opened slightly, and his eyes looked helpless and sad.

The ministers' kowtowing movements suddenly froze, and they opened their mouths wide in shock as they looked at the imperial case that had turned into ashes and scattered everywhere above His Majesty. And the emperor's eyes were bloodshot red at this moment, his eyes were like magma splattered out before a volcanic explosion, and the furious storm brewing under his eyes seemed to be likely to destroy everything in this world at any time. "How dare you threaten me?"

The righteous and awe-inspiring posture of the ministers faded from their faces little by little, and were replaced by frightened and apprehensive expressions.

"Don't dare!"

Zong Zheng snorted coldly, stepped down the steps, and walked on the red carpet, with a thin long line, which was the bright red dripping from his palm, as if he was crying blood in his heart.

Step by step, he missed the woman, and came to the deputy commander Geng who was kneeling in the center of the main hall, his expression was a calm after extreme anger and heartache, and that calm made people feel a strong uneasiness in their hearts. Geng Yi's face was slightly nervous, "Emperor, Emperor......

As if he hadn't heard, Zong Zheng Wuwu slowly squatted down and looked at the sword that Geng Yi had placed on the ground beside him, he reached out to hold the hilt of the sword, and his movements were unusually slow.

The pale and slender fingers grasped the hilt of the sword tightly, the long sword was pulled out inch by inch, and the cold column qi suddenly broke out of the sheath, lingering in the entire hall, and the ministers were silent, and their breathing was stagnant.

Manyao also tightened his mind and stared directly at his movements. Zongzheng stood up without worry, the tip of his sword slashed against the golden floor tiles, and his voice was sharp and piercing, as if it was about to pierce the eardrum and pierce the heart.

"The emperor spares his life! The villain is also forced to be helpless, and he is a mother...... Mother me! Niangniang said that if the villain did not agree, she would kill the villain. And them, they are all dead, and the villain doesn't want to die,...... Ask the emperor for mercy...... The man who claimed to be her male favorite pointed his finger at her, but before he could speak, the long sword popped, piercing through, and the man glared at the beads before he could even scream, and suddenly fell to the ground, and died of anger.

Although the ministers strongly demanded that this person be executed, they never expected that the emperor would kill this person on the spot. For a while, everyone was shocked by the emperor's ruthless murderous aura, and they didn't dare to say a word.

Zong Zheng stopped his hand expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Drag it down." ”

The corpse was quickly dragged away, and the blood on the ground was quickly cleaned, except for the strong and pungent bloody breath that lingered in the air.

Man Yao was also stunned by his actions, looking at his almost irrational behavior, she frowned slightly, staring at his back, the cold breath that spread all over her body made her suddenly feel at a loss.

Zong Zheng turned around without worry, and behind his seemingly calm gaze was turbulent and complicated. He slowly and slowly walked towards her, his steps staggering and floating, as if he was too tired to support his long body. He stared at the woman he missed day and night, the pretense of calm was torn apart, his heart was slammed with severe pain, and his eyes were sad and desperate.

"Why?" His voice was as low as it was pouring out of his chest, and he wanted to ask her, "Have you considered doing this...... Am I okay with that? ”

In addition to the pain in his eyes, there was also resentment, and every time Man Yao looked at him for a few more moments, his heart would be tightened, his body trembled slightly, he opened his mouth to speak, and his throat seemed to be stuck, "worry-free......

Even if it is unacceptable, there is no room for manoeuvre in that matter by now. Zongzheng's expression was suddenly resolute, as if he had made some kind of decision, and interrupted her: "Come on, prepare the carriage and send it to ...... Leave. Leaving the exit, he closed his eyes, as if he had been drained of all his strength.

Her nose suddenly sore, and tears welled up instantly. As if she had been hit hard, she raised her head suddenly, her lips open, her voice trembled, and she asked in disbelief: "Don't worry, you ......" You don't believe me? If others don't believe it, you don't believe it either? ”

"The facts are in front of you, how do you tell me to believe? Is it me, too indulgent to you? His chest rose and fell violently, as if it was difficult to utter every word.

"Original...... I am in your heart, such a person! She closed her eyes, and let two lines of tears spill out of the corners of her eyes, across her pale face, dripping on the gold bricks, splattering, shattering.

Zong Zhengwu's hands trembled, his brows tightly locked, as if he was trying his best to hide something.

The ministers were stunned, the emperor wanted to spare the life of the imperial concubine and send her out of the palace?

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine's ** harem is heinous, how can you let her go so easily?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you don't get rid of such a demon concubine, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of our dynasty and even more damage the emperor's wisdom!"

"Please think twice!"

"Shut up!" Zong Zheng Wuwu slowly narrowed his phoenix eyes, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, "You are all so assertive, I, the emperor, why don't I let you be?" ”

Everyone was shocked, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly bowed, "The emperor is angry!" Ministers deserve death! ”

Zong Zheng didn't look at them anymore, and only said coldly to the woman: "You go." For the sake of Emperor Qiyun's face, I, let you go. ”

She pursed her lips, and a sarcastic smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, which seemed to contain a broken heart. Her eyes were empty, without focus, and she cast her eyes into the vast sky outside the hall, and said faintly: "Heh, then I'...... For the emperor, thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you for your willingness to spare my life! ”

Emperor Qiyun? Brother Huang? The ministers were shocked that the rumors about the identity of the imperial concubine turned out to be true! … Is it really Emperor Qiyun's favorite sister, Princess Rongle, who was close to the Northern Emperor? In the early spring of February, they were shocked into a cold sweat because of this news, the Southern Dynasty is now fighting on both sides of the northwest, if they really kill Emperor Qiyun's favorite princess, Qiyun Kingdom will definitely come in a big way, they have no army to stop, wouldn't they have to wait for destruction? This realization made the ministers immediately shut up tacitly. Since she can't be killed, instead of persuading the emperor to confine her in the cold palace, it is better to let her return to Qiyun Kingdom, which can be regarded as selling a favor to Emperor Qiyun, this is killing two birds with one stone, and the emperor is really wise!

The woman's tears were reflected in Zongzheng's eyes, like an ice thorn cone, Zongzheng Wuwu turned his head and inhaled heavily, no longer looking at her. But she suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were cold and cold, and she raised her hand and grabbed his hand holding the sword, feeling his fingers cold and trembling slightly. She looked up at the side of his face, smiled sadly, her face resolute, her fingers slowly slid down, and she grabbed the blade of the sword and stabbed herself in the abdomen

The sharp blade broke through the skin and entered the abdomen, blood splashed out, the blood on the woman's face faded instantly, and her lips were as white as paper.

"Master!" Xiao Xu, who was guarding the door, was so frightened that he couldn't care about anything, and hurriedly rushed into the hall.

Zong Zheng turned back in horror, looked at her in disbelief, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, and slammed on the ground with a crisp sound that shook his heart. Seeing the blood gushing out of her body gradually soaked the phoenix robe of the golden silk embroidered phoenix, such a bright color, he panicked and hurriedly pounced on her, "Aman!! What are you doing here?! The fury in her tone that could not be concealed swept over her, as if it was about to devour everything. His heart ached, and he hurriedly covered her wound with his hand, and the sticky hot blood soaked his palm, and his fingers flowed out on the blood-colored carpet.

The ministers were shocked and couldn't help but look at each other, "This ......

An old minister was the first to react, for fear that the emperor would be soft-hearted and forgive the woman, so he sneered, "Does the imperial concubine think that self-harm can offset the great sin you committed?" Your Majesty, you must not be deceived by her,...

"Get out! Get out of here! "The furious shout like a lion, the red eyes are as cold as a sword, sweeping straight at the person who spoke, and the strong and hideous warning clearly says: If you dare to say one more word, I will definitely cut you with a thousand knives!

The old minister's body shook, and the prime minister saw that the momentum was not good, so he hurriedly saluted and withdrew, and the ministers retreated. They did not leave, but knelt at the door of the main hall, staring at the two people in the hall.

Zong Zheng Wuwu was already in chaos, and shouted loudly: "Imperial doctor, pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

"No need." Her blood-covered hand grabbed his arm and wanted to stand up with strength, but Zongzheng glared at him and said angrily, "What are you going to do?" She smiled slightly, full of desolation, "You, aren't you...... Did you have a carriage ready? I'll go.

"You!" Zong Zhengwu's chest rose and fell sharply, and there was pain and anger in her chest, but she couldn't speak, she looked at him a few times fixedly, broke away from his hand, and her face was resolute, "You...... Take care! Standing up, her steps staggering, she refused Xiao Xu's support, and slowly walked towards the outside of the hall, leaving a long trail of blood in the eyes of everyone, as if telling the sadness and despair in the woman's heart.

Rumor: On this day, the ministers returned satisfied, but the emperor sat in the Qianhe Hall for a whole day, his eyes were dull, his expression was blank, like a statue that had lost his soul.

It is also rumored that the imperial concubine of the Southern Dynasty took advantage of the Southern Emperor's expedition to seize the power of the harem, angered the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the Southern Dynasty, and the hundred officials admonished each other with death in the palace of the early dynasty, the emperor was furious, and killed the adulterer with his own hands, and the imperial concubine was almost killed on the spot with a sword, and then was expelled from the Southern Dynasty by the emperor, and the life and death are unknown. It is rumored again: It turns out that the White Emperor Concubine of the Southern Dynasty is really the eldest princess of Qiyun Kingdom, the former wife of the emperor of the Northern Dynasty! This time, the Southern Emperor and the Northern Dynasty fought a great war, and they didn't want to fight with Qiyun Guosheng again, so they let Princess Rong Le leave.
