Chapter 37: The Conspiracy of the Fierce Maiden (2)

He laughed angrily, and retorted in a weak tone: "The old minister has been running errands in the palace for many years, and he still understands these rules. Since the old emperor was in danger when the emperor was in danger, Lin Yi was attached to the strong neighbor Tubo, and the peacock gold silk thread has not entered the Daming Palace for nearly 30 years. Therefore, the first emperor recovered Chang'an, and after the Zhang family entered the middle palace, he set a rule, among the concubines of the six palaces, only the queen and the concubine can use this thing. His Majesty asked such a question, and the old minister felt terrified in his heart, could it be that the two concubines Hui and Li also wanted to put the old minister to death? ”

The emperor's face "vacated" and turned red to the root of his ears: this old man refuses to save any face for himself, where does he still look like a subordinate? In order to hide the anger in his heart, he turned to Wang Bao'er, who was standing on the side, and scolded loudly: "Has Pei Baiyao arrived?" The day of the 100-day sacrifice of my father is just around the corner, and I have delayed my major event, so I am careful to cut you nobleless minions! ”

Li Jinzhong was angry at the emperor's annoyance, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, turned a deaf ear, and still said lightly: "At present, Luguang Court has surrounded Nannei and the Eldest Princess's Mansion for nearly two hours, if Your Majesty does not give an order, the old minister will not allow sudden changes to occur there, and by then, it will be too late." ”

The emperor suddenly remembered that night in Yuxiu Palace to listen to Jing Xuan talk about Nazhu marrying into Zhangmen, if the remnants of the Zhang family had already colluded with the concubine's mother and son, and assassinated Li Jinzhong, even if the concubine's mother and daughter were not the masterminds, the two of them must also be people in the know, if that is the case, even if they want to temporarily change and choose their relatives, they can only hesitate to do so.

Thinking of this layer of stakes, the emperor stabilized his complicated mood, and was about to open his mouth at the invitation of Li Jinzhong to lower his will to enter the palace to arrest the murderer, only to hear a rush of footsteps from far and near outside the palace, and Xie Liangchen, the provincial supervisor of the inner chamberlain, staggered all the way into the palace.

Xie Liangchen has always been known for his stability and prudence. Even on the night of pacifying the chaos in Zhang's palace three months ago, Li Jinzhong had never seen him so panicked.

"Liangchen, what happened? Why the alarm? Before the emperor could open his mouth, Li Jinzhong had already grabbed Xie Liangchen and blurted out.

Xie Liangchen gasped for breath, and reported to the emperor one sentence after another: "There is news from the Southern Inner Prison...... Concubine she...... To die for the first emperor......"

The emperor and Li Jinzhong quickly glanced at each other. It was still Li Jinzhong who opened his mouth and asked: "You make it clear, is the concubine going to go with the first emperor, or is she already ......?"

Xie Liangchen couldn't breathe for a moment because he was running too fast, and when he heard Li Jinzhong's question, he only shook his head anxiously, and then nodded vigorously.

"What? Man is dead! "The emperor and Li Jinzhong are both cold.

"The minister Lu Guangting has something important to ask to see my emperor!" Before everyone in the hall could recover from the tense atmosphere, another voice came from the entrance of the hall.

"Quick, call in and talk!" The emperor couldn't tell if it was sadness. Still startled, he commanded quickly.

After all, Lu Guangting was born as a monk in charge of auditing lawlessness, far more than Xie Liangchen could hold the scene, he walked to the front of the stairs with a solemn expression, knelt down in his clothes, and looked at the emperor's three heads with a clear eye, then straightened up and said: "The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”

The emperor thought he was the same as Xie Liangchen. It was also for the concubine's sudden death that he came to ask for guilt, and sighed softly. Chong Lu Guangting said: "I just learned the news that the concubine was martyred for her father, and this matter has nothing to do with Lu Qing, so let's talk about it." ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Guangting did not get up, but still knelt down and said: "The eldest princess of Changning and the concubine returned to heaven together, but the ministers are not doing well, so I beg Your Majesty to give her death." ”

The Tibetan and Chang'an courts reconciled with each other. The news that Chide Zampu was about to marry the eldest princess of Changning spread in the city. For several days in a row, the princes and ministers of Tibet, as well as the wealthy merchants and ministers, went to the pavilion to visit the Shangbang mission, and rushed to ask His Royal Highness the King of Mu to pay tribute to the eldest princess of Changning, who was about to become the late (empress) of Tubo.

Although the mission of reconciliation with the Tibetan family was successfully accomplished, Nashima did not know what the reason was. There was no longer any investigation into Lai Xing'er's true identity, and the mission's trip to Lai Xing'er was about to end successfully, but Lai Xing'er was not happy at all. Thousands of miles of travel, repeated adventures, and not even knowing the exact whereabouts of his mother, how can it not make people feel bored and lost. He said that he was sick and put away almost all his entertainment, and he was locked in his room alone, hoping that Nayu would bring him a surprise.

As soon as he returned to the pavilion after going to Dafu Lu Jin to see Chide Zampu, he ordered him to visit the old servants at home under the pretext that Jing Xuan had ordered him to find the whereabouts of his mother in the city. Due to the fact that in recent years, Tubo has repeatedly sent troops to invade Hexi and Longyou, and the trade routes between Han and Tibet have long been cut off, and now the few remaining Han women in some cities are all captured by Na Simo with troops, and only a very small number of important ministers in the Tubo Dynasty and the noble mansions can get a few Han female servants, therefore, Yang Zong did not take much trouble to inquire for Lai Xing'er to understand, except for Na Si Mo Mansion, there is no such Han woman in other courtiers' mansions as Lai Xing'er said.

Lai Xing'er originally thought that since Na Yu was Furong's subordinate, he should naturally stand on Zhang Liang's side and reveal his true identity in public. Why did she take the initiative to help when she was panicked in the big house, deliberately concealed it for herself, and helped herself tide over the difficulties?

On the day that Lai Xing'er met Zampu in Jin, as soon as he returned to the pavilion, he used the excuse to find Nayu and asked her about the reason alone. Na Yu refused to say it at first, but then he was forced by Lai Xing'er to be anxious, so he said to him thoughtlessly: "One report and one report, now we don't owe each other." No matter how much Lai Xing'er asked, she only bowed her head and said nothing.

Lai Xing'er had no way to take her, he was disappointed and remembered Nayu's special identity, and he could ask her to go back to Nafu to find out her mother's whereabouts in detail, so he carefully described the appearance of her mother in her memory to Nayu, and asked her to find out whether Nafu had taken in such a Han woman and her mother's whereabouts now.

"Who is this woman yours?" After hearing what Lai Xing'er said, Na Yu raised her head, her eyes flashing and asked Lai Xing'er.

"Well, she is a relative of Concubine Hui, before I set off from Chang'an, Niangniang specially explained that I wanted to find the whereabouts of this person, and then try to bring her back to Chang'an." Lai Xing'er was still wary of Nayu, and pulled out a big lie by the way.

"Good. Leave it to me. Nayu readily agreed, she stood up and left, and before leaving the door, she suddenly turned back and added, "However, you must remember that you owe me first this time." (To be continued.) )
