Chapter 131: Divination Operator I
The Forbidden City becomes more and more peaceful at night.vd.m
In addition to the patrolling guards, there were only eunuchs who fought on duty. There are also crowded palace maids, who can only gather in groups to chat about trivial matters at night.
The night was not bright, and the sky was clouded by dark clouds. So much so that some places in the palace where the lights couldn't flicker became more and more dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.
At this time, in the darkness, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of Meng Chong, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and then he threw himself through the closed palace gate of the Qianqing Palace not far away, and kept rubbing his hands, obviously a little nervous.
The night in the capital at the beginning of spring was still a little cold, and Meng Chong was only wearing a single brocade robe, so as a gust of wind blew, his body trembled slightly, so he couldn't stop tightening his neckline again.
There was a slight eagerness in his eyes, until the palace door slowly opened, and then a beautiful and moving woman in white fur walked out from inside, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman's expression was also a little flustered, and she kept looking around, obviously looking for something.
Meng Chong waited for the woman to come over, hurriedly stepped forward, and whispered; "Martial Girl...... Miss Wu...... In this ......"
Miss Wu heard the call, looked around, and could vaguely see the figure in the dark, so she hurriedly responded: "Gonggong Meng...... Don't worry, Your Majesty has already slept. ”
Meng Chong walked out of the darkness at this time, waved his hand at Wu Teng Lanyi, and said with a wry smile: "Martial girl, can you let the old slave wait...... It's too cold......"
Miss Wu's face suddenly showed a trace of guilt, and she said softly: "But you can't come out until Your Majesty sleeps...... My father-in-law is looking for me, and I don't know what's going on......"
Meng Chong sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "It's not about choosing you as a concubine...... Now there are too many people in the court who oppose it, and there is still some trouble for a while...... But ......"
As he spoke, Meng Chong suddenly stopped, a smile on his face.
"But what?" Miss Wu couldn't help but eagerly ask, "How can my father-in-law say half of what he says...... I'm in a hurry. ”
Meng Chong smiled faintly and said, "Entering the palace as a concubine also depends on the destiny of heaven...... There is an ancient well in the Imperial Garden, where you can see the fate of people...... Miss Wu is going to see it with me? ”
Although Miss Wu is quite favored by the emperor in the palace, she still has no name, mostly because of the opposition of the officials in the court. And the emperor is weak, so he can only stop it.
Now that she has this opportunity, it would be better if the palm print of the celebrant could help her half, how could she let it go easily, listening to the other party's words, she nodded without hesitation: "I'll go ...... now"
Meng Chong smiled playfully. But she didn't let Miss Wu see it, and then bowed. Said: "Miss Wu, please ...... first"
For the Imperial Garden, Miss Wu is no stranger. I often come to enjoy with the emperor, but I haven't heard of such an ancient well, but since Meng Chong said that there is, then he can't say it.
She is from the Wa Kingdom, and she is a little unfamiliar with all kinds of things in the Ming Dynasty, even if she has already learned all kinds of things, but after all, she still only understands the surface and does not understand the reason.
The two walked back and forth. After a while, they came to the Imperial Garden.
At this time, it was already very late, there was no one around, and even the palace maids and eunuchs who were keeping vigil had already turned off the lights and gone to sleep, so that it was dark everywhere, but it was difficult to find where the ancient well was.
"Father-in-law, where is that ancient well...... Why don't we go back...... "After all, it's a girl, and I'm still a little scared in this kind of place." So the voices were a little trembling.
Meng Chong, who was walking behind, couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Could it be that you don't want to enter the palace as a concubine?" ”
The martial girl pondered for a long time and did not answer Meng Chong's question, but her steps were much faster, until she stopped in front of a rockery.
Meng Chong took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "The ancient well is in this rockery...... Miss Wu walked over and took a look. ”
Miss Wu hesitated a little when she heard Meng Chong's sharp voice, but she didn't dare to say anything. I had to walk slowly towards the rockery. As the clouds gradually dissipated, the moonlight sprinkled into the Imperial Garden, and it became much brighter everywhere.
Looking around, I saw a well, but it didn't seem to be an ancient well as Meng Gonggong said, but it seemed to be a well used to water the imperial garden.
"But another well...... But...... Father-in-law...... Father-in-law, what are you going to do......"
His voice grew hoarse. I saw that Meng Chong had already rushed over from the outside, grabbed Miss Wu's neck, and then retreated into the well in the opposite direction.
Miss Wu was also caught off guard, coupled with nervousness, she was taken aback by this sudden change, and she was already powerless, although she could still resist, but it was useless
With a plop and splashing, Meng Chong gasped for breath, stared blankly at the still rippling well, chuckled, and then hurriedly ran to the side.
In the dark, he was also a little panicked, and almost fell down several times, but fortunately, he held on to the tree on the side of the road and gradually walked out of the imperial garden.
It's just that to Meng Chong's surprise, as soon as he walked out of the imperial garden, he bumped into a person he didn't want to bump into anyway, Feng Bao, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch Bingbi.
The celebrant has a palm print eunuch and several eunuchs with a pen. It stands to reason that Meng Chong always has to overpower Feng Bao, but after all, the other party's qualifications are far better than his own, so he can't do anything to the other party on weekdays.
In addition, the other party has a good relationship with the queen Li Guifei, and has close contacts with the second assistant Mr. Zhang in the cabinet, and this relationship is also extremely powerful, so he avoids conflicts with the other party from time to time.
It was a bit of a surprise to meet here tonight.
However, Feng Bao calmly looked at the disheveled clothes and a panicked face, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Gonggong Meng, who didn't sleep so late...... What to do in the Imperial Garden. ”
As Feng Bao spoke, he instructed the little eunuch behind him to step forward to sort out Meng Chong's clothes, and then said, "Gonggong Meng's body is ...... Could it be that he went to work as a gardener in the Imperial Garden? ”
Meng Chong was speechless for a while, and after muttering for a while, he hurriedly said, "What imperial garden...... I didn't have ......"
Feng Bao smiled playfully and said, "Gonggong Meng's body is muddy...... How can I say that I haven't been to the Imperial Garden...... Come on, put on a new dress for Grandpa Meng......"
As he spoke, a little eunuch immediately took out a set of clothes, and then stepped forward to change them for Meng Chong.
"Feng Bao, what are you going to do......" Meng Chong looked at the prison uniform on his body, his face changed greatly, and he shouted angrily: "Okay, you Feng Bao, you dare to tease the old man......"
Feng Bao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, it's not teasing my father-in-law...... It's really about arresting you. ”
"Arrest me?" Meng Chong suddenly burst out laughing, and he said, "Then I don't know what crime I committed......
Feng Bao suddenly raised his head, looked at the moonlight looming in the sky, and sighed, "I don't know if the moonlight in the well of the Imperial Garden is good-looking...... However, Qi Yao has recruited everything, as evidenced by Gao Ge. ”
"High arch?" Meng Chong's heart moved, and he suddenly said angrily: "Okay, you are a high arch, you dare to calculate me like this...... Let me kill people, and let people come to arrest me...... Sold me like that? ”
Feng Bao slowly stepped forward and patted Meng Chong's pale old face, and chuckled: "Father-in-law is really simple...... But I can't help you anymore...... Go and see Your Majesty. ”
……
The night is still dark, but the Qianqing Palace is already brightly lit.
Emperor Zhu Zaiyuan's eyes were full of pain, and he looked around the side of the bed, the person who was with his **** was gone, and all this was because of the castration kneeling on the ground at this time.
The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became, so I was even more annoyed in my heart, and I couldn't help but say angrily: "Meng Chong...... Are you guilty? ”
Meng Chong, who was already dead-faced, couldn't speak for a long time, and only after a long time did he hesitate and said, "Gao Gong hurts me...... Your Majesty......"
"What's the matter with the old man?" Although Zhu Zaiyuan said this, he could probably guess why, although he was weak and corrupt, he was also extremely shrewd, and after being silent, he shouted: "Okay, you Meng Chong, you dare to frame the old man of the pavilion...... The human and material evidence is there, and the Criminal Department handles this matter......"
Feng Bao, who had always stood aside without a single glance, showed a trace of joy on his face, until he watched the crying Meng Chong being dragged out of the palace gate, then he smiled faintly and glanced at Gao Gong, who was standing not far away, with an anxious face.
Gao Gong also glanced at Feng Bao, but didn't say anything. However, the emperor was still annoyed and shouted, "Feng Bao, since you know that he is going to commit murder, why don't you stop him...... Poor Martial Girl......"
At this point, the emperor couldn't stop crying.
Concubine Li Guifei hurriedly stepped forward to sit beside the emperor and comforted in a low voice: "Your Majesty wants to mourn...... No one wants to see Miss Wu do this...... Gonggong Feng also tried his best. ”
Hearing this, the emperor suddenly smiled stupidly, and then said coldly: "Okay, good, but you are satisfied......
Zhang Juzheng immediately stepped forward and said, "People can't be resurrected after death...... Now the celebrant is missing a palm seal eunuch...... The minister saw that Feng Bao could take on this great responsibility. ”
Gao Gong's face changed suddenly, and he wanted to step forward, but when he thought of tonight's events, he immediately dispelled this thought.
Meng Chong shouted his name before, His Majesty could obviously hear the meaning, and when he said that he was killed, he had already given himself a chance, and if he was strong at this time, he would definitely anger the other party.
The emperor sighed slightly, waved his hand, and said softly, "Accurate...... Feng Bao, the eunuch who served as the celebrant and the eunuch, was the chief of ceremonies and the commander of the East Factory...... Palm brocade guard. ”
Feng Bao's face was calm, but his heart was already fluctuating.
Do you remember that when Huang Jin died, he was almost killed by Chen Hong, if it weren't for the help of Mr. Shen, I am afraid that he would have died. Now with the help of that Mr. Shen, it is really not easy to achieve today's achievements.
He sighed in his heart, and then stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen...... The minions still have something to do......"
"Say it." The emperor held his forehead with his right hand, and his voice was obviously weak, obviously a little uncomfortable.
Feng Bao nodded and said, "The Suzhou case has been clarified, but it was Qi Yao, the eunuch of the Weaving Bureau, who framed Shen Wuyan...... But it was also Meng Chong's intention. Now that the truth is revealed, please Your Majesty is still innocent. ”
"Shen Wuyan......" The emperor hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Just do as you say." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
