Chapter 258: Caught
After a while, I saw the guards coming over with a palace maid with a cloak and a mess.
The queen said coldly: "You are so bold, you dare to break into the cold palace, don't you know who is inside?" Raise your head and let Hongu see who is so daring! ”
The man was still struggling, trying to escape the guards' grip.
"Lift her head up!" The queen said coldly.
The palace maid's head was lifted up strongly, and her loose hair was wiped to the side, but the true face revealed surprised everyone, this person was none other than the Fifth Prince!
"Old five? How are you? The queen was surprised, "Why are you here?" ”
Zhao Liwa cried out and sobbed: "I want to see my mother!" You don't let me see my mother, I just want to see her, what did I do wrong, why do you do this to me! ”
The queen's eyes sank for a moment, approached Zhao Li, and asked in a cold voice: "Old Five, tell me, is there anyone else with you?" ”
"Who? I'm alone! Zhao Li said cryingly.
The queen's face became even more gloomy, and she coaxed while threatening: "You can sneak into the heavily guarded cold palace with you?" Hongu doesn't believe that you are so capable at such a young age! There must be someone who helps you enter the cold palace, talk about who that person is, as long as you say it, the palace will let you go back, and you will not be held accountable, if you don't say it, you can know that the responsibility of breaking into the cold palace is not something that you can bear as a child! ”
"One person does things and one person bears it! I'm the only one! I just wanted to meet my mother, and I made a big mistake! The fifth prince wiped his tears while crying, "Niangniang, why are you so fierce to me?" ”
"You are young and don't know how to measure, this trespass into the cold palace, disobeying the holy decree is a big crime to kill your head!" The queen said coldly, "Not only you are guilty, but your mother is also guilty!" If you don't recruit the people who helped you get into the cold palace, this crime will be borne by your mother and son! ”
"Wow!" The fifth prince cried even more sadly, "I'm just...... It's just that I miss my mother so much, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, Niangniang, just forgive me this time, I don't dare anymore! ”
"This crime of trespassing into the cold palace is not something that this palace can say......
"Queen Mother!" An indifferent but majestic voice came, "The fifth child is still a child, why scare her so much?" ”
"Concubine Niangniang!" Zhao Li seemed to have seen a savior, and threw himself into Qi Guifei's arms, "Guifei Niangniang, save Ping'er!" ”
"Scare?" The queen sneered, "Concubine Jin is imprisoned here, Your Majesty strictly forbids anyone to visit, and now the five princes ignore Your Majesty's holy decree and break into the cold palace, isn't this a big crime?" The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, doesn't the concubine mean to shield the five princes? ”
"The queen also said just now, Your Majesty is just strictly forbidden for anyone to see Jin Concubine!" Qi Guifei said lightly, "Fifth brother, this palace asked you, just did you see your mother?" ”
Zhao Li shook his head while wiping his tears, and cried: "No, they were arrested before I saw it!" ”
"Since he has never seen Concubine Jin, it is naturally not considered to be disobeying the holy decree, although it is a big taboo, but for the sake of him being a child and missing his mother, can the queen mother open the net!" Qi Guifei interceded for Zhao Li.
"First of all, this palace doesn't believe that the fifth prince can sneak into the heavily guarded cold palace without anyone's help, and secondly, this palace doesn't believe that he didn't see Jin Concubine!" The queen lifted her hairpin and said, "This is not for this palace to call the shots, since the five princes refuse to tell the truth, then the only way to let the queen mother and His Majesty make the decisions in this matter!" ”
Since the queen refused to stop, the matter naturally reached the ears of Emperor Zhou and the queen mother, and several people were passed to Fengxi Palace together.
Before entering the Fengxi Palace, the queen's subordinates once again reported to her that they had not found any suspicious people around the cold palace.
"Tell me, why do you have to go to the cold palace?" The Queen Mother called the fifth prince to her side and gently wiped away his tears.
"Ping'er misses her mother!" Zhao Li lay in the arms of the Queen Mother and cried.
"Tsk, poor boy!" The Queen Mother patted her grandson's back distressedly.
The queen originally wanted to count the crimes of the five princes, but when she saw the queen mother's appearance, she naturally didn't dare to say the words in her mouth, she thought that the queen mother would definitely help her speak, how could she forget that the queen mother has always felt sorry for her grandson!
"For several nights, the concubines heard the child talk in his dreams, and dreamed of his mother! Since he was born, he was personally taken by Concubine Jin, and the relationship between mother and son was extraordinary, which suddenly made the two unable to see each other, how could he stand it from his child's family? Today's adventure is not a last resort! ”
"Your Majesty, this brocade concubine should be punished, why don't you let her out, can this child have a mother by her side? Qi Guifei just took good care of him, but it wasn't her mother after all, right? The Queen Mother wiped her tears, glanced at Emperor Zhou and said.
"One thing is one thing!" Emperor Zhou said in a deep voice, "Concubine Jin intends to murder Li Hou, if this matter is so simple and it is over, how can I explain to the King of Chu and the prince?" Secondly, whether you miss your mother or some other reason, this is not a reason for you to violate the ban in the palace! ”
Zhao Li sighed faintly: "How did the son not know that today's incident would make his father Long Yan angry, but today's imperial garden draft, there will be many more mothers in this palace in the future, my father is afraid that he will never think of his mother again, and his son is willing to go to the cold palace to accompany his mother, and ask his father to fulfill it!" ”
After he finished speaking, he knelt at Emperor Zhou's feet, kowtowed, and then silently wiped his tears.
"What do men cry about!" Emperor Zhou scolded.
"The concubine has a doubt!" The queen took the opportunity to say, "The cold palace has always been heavily guarded, how did the fifth prince get in with a child?" Was it the guard's failure to do their duty or was someone assisting him? ”
"Do you want any other accomplices in this matter?" Emperor Zhou asked coldly.
Zhao Li's body trembled, bit his lip, and said weakly: "There is ......"
"Don't confess yet!"
After a while, Zhao Quan and Jiang Haoran were summoned to Fengxi Palace.
"It's the two of you who helped the five princes enter the cold palace?"
Zhao Quan and Jiang Haoran glanced at each other, and then nodded.
"By you?" The queen obviously didn't believe it, "You three children can get into the cold palace?" ”
"If the queen doesn't believe her, we can demonstrate it!" Zhao Quan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Emperor Zhou was interested, wanting to see how the three children bypassed the layers of guards and infiltrated the cold palace, and agreed to Zhao Quan's request to let them repeat the situation at that time.
According to the previous drills, some of the three children were responsible for letting out the wind, and some were responsible for covering the system, and they figured out the rules of the guards' patrols, and with the tacit cooperation of the three of them, they really let the five princes get into the dog hole through the back door.
Seeing this, Emperor Zhou was not angry, but praised the three of them, and praised: "Sure enough, you are a hero from a young man, I didn't expect you to be young and have such ability!" The country of the Great Zhou Dynasty will always fall on you young people in the future, if everyone has such responsibility and ability, the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be stable! Remembering that you are a first-time offender, I will not punish you this time, you remember, there will be no example! If there is a next time, it will be punished with today's sins! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"
The fifth prince was silent for a moment, and said silently: "Erchen wants to plead with his father and let Erchen see his mother!" ”
The Queen Mother couldn't help but intercede for the five princes: "Since you don't want the Jin Concubine to come out, why don't you let their mother and son meet?" ”
Emperor Zhou was helpless, so he had to nod his head and agree, today's farce is over.
The fifth prince cleaned up and went to see his mother openly. The queen who is busy working in vain is the most unwilling, is it really these three little ghosts who made it today? It's just that the people under him reported it, and it is true that no other suspicious people have been found!
The Queen Mother is really a mistake! She is still old in the end, and old people are the most softened! None of the grandchildren want to be harmed, but this battle for the throne has always been bloody and cruel, and none of them will be harmed, is it possible?
And the most proud are Zhao Quan and Jiang Haoran!
"I didn't expect the method that my eldest brother taught us to be really useful!" Zhao Quan said proudly, "My eldest brother is amazing!" All the steps we did for you today were guessed by him, and they were exactly right! ”
"My eldest sister is also very powerful!" Jiang Haoran was not to be outdone, and said, "This plan is what she thinks!" But fortunately, the five princes were able to achieve their wishes and finally met their mother! ”
"But it's us who are the best!" Zhao Quan laughed, "We just listened to the eldest brother a few times, and we remembered all today's plans!" We are still young, and when we grow up, we will definitely be even more powerful than them! ”
"That's right! His Majesty also said that in the future, the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou will depend on us to carry it! ”
The two teenagers were proud and complacent, but they still kept two points of vigilance.
"Big brother said, after today's events are over, forget about today's events, and don't talk about them to anyone!" Zhao Quan said, "Otherwise, it will really be a crime of deception!" ”
"I understand! Never talk about it to anyone! ”
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyu had already returned to the Chu Palace, waiting for news from the palace with Zhao Ling.
Zhao Ling handed a cup of brewed tea to her and said, "Don't worry, I have confidence in those three boys!" ”
"But they're children!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "How can you not be worried? If there is a mistake in one link or a psychological breakdown in front of His Majesty, it will be a failure! ”
"This kind of thing should be considered when we ask these three children to help us!" Zhao Ling said, "But I'll die, I think they'll succeed!" ”
