Chapter 167: The Storm Rises Again
(Cat flutter Chinese) In the early hours of the morning, the prison.
In the depths of the prison, Jiang Guogong was held in solitary confinement.
Although it was still late at night, Jiang Guogong woke up early.
Since he was in prison, he has not slept until dawn all night.
The cell was filled with the smell of decay, and even after two months in prison, he still couldn't get used to it.
The wee hours of the morning should have been quiet, but in the darkness of the prison, you could always hear the squeaking of rats and the painful moans of the other prisoners coming from a distance through the enclosed space.
These moans made him feel disgusted, bored, and his heart was filled with a violent sense of murder.
Sometimes, he even feels that even if he is dead, he is now stronger.
But he was not reconciled! He was not willing to die like this.
He is the grandfather of the country under one person, if it weren't for this carelessness, he would even become a high emperor, he is a person with great ambitions and ambitions, how can he die like this?
Died in a cell with grievances, and then was thrown into mass graves like garbage, eaten by wild beasts, and the bones were gone, or they could be buried on a random slope, crawling with all kinds of disgusting bugs and ants, and the corpses slowly decayed, and finally crawled with maggots, and then turned into a handful of loess, leaving nothing behind.
No, he shouldn't be like this, he should be worshiped by all people, not die in a cell like this.
Jiang Guogong thought about it, his eyes flashing with various emotions.
He's going out, he's going to get out.
At that moment, he heard footsteps and approached this direction.
After a while, a masked man in black appeared outside his cell and quickly opened the door with his hands and feet.
Jiang Guogong looked at his sneaky appearance, thinking that he was here to kill him, subconsciously hid back, opened his mouth and shouted: "Who are you?" Someone, someone ......"
Jiang Guogong wanted to make a fuss.
However, the other party rushed towards him directly, grabbed him directly, and with the other hand, neatly stuffed the prepared strip of cloth into Jiang Guogong's mouth, Jiang Guogong struggled, but could only make a whining sound.
At that moment, Jiang Guogong's eyes were full of horror and despair.
Immediately after, his head was covered with a cloth, and it was pitch black in front of him.
Jiang Guogong whimpered and wanted to continue struggling, but he was clicked by the man in black, and the whole person froze.
The man in black stuffed Jiang Guogong into a cloth bag and dragged him away.
Jiang Guogong, who couldn't move, was uneasy at the moment, and after a while, the tip of his nose smelled a rotten smell of the cell and an even more unpleasant stench.
Jiang Guogong was so smoked that he almost fainted, his throat was tight, and he just wanted to vomit out all the overnight meal.
It was clearly the smell of feces.
At the entrance of the prison, a dung truck drove out of the prison, which was routinely to be inspected.
But the smell of feces could be smelled even from a long distance, and the prison guards at the door of the big prison looked disgusted, pinched their noses and urged: "Hurry up, hurry up, it stinks to death." ”
The driver who was driving the car answered and hurriedly drove the car away.
Prime Minister's House.
Today is the day when Wang Xuejing returns to the door in the third dynasty, Yun Xiangrong asked people to prepare gifts early, and when they finished breakfast and went out, the convoy outside the door was already waiting neatly.
"Thank you Rong'er, thanks to you for taking so much trouble to take care of everything for me these days." Wang Xuejing grabbed Yun Xiangrong's hand, her pretty face was flying, and she said gratefully.
"What are you talking about, we are good sisters, and now you are married to my brother and become my sister-in-law, and you are polite to me." Yun Xiangrong smiled lightly.
The two talked for a while, and then they each returned to Yun Qing and Huo Chen's side.
Before parting, Yun Qing instructed Yun Xiangrong to take good care of herself and take care of the child in her womb.
Yun Xiangrong responded with a smile on his face.
What should have been said has already been said, and several people did not say hello again, and each got into the carriage.
Yun Qing and Wang Xuejing went to the palace, while Huo Chen took Yun Xiangrong back to the Zhennan Palace.
Not long after Huo Chen and Yun Xiangrong returned to the mansion, Han Mi hurriedly came to report and whispered a few words in Huo Chen's ear.
When the words fell, Huo Chen's face changed in a rare instant, and it became very ugly.
"What's wrong?" Yun Xiangrong was originally ordering someone to clean up his things, but seeing that Huo Chen's face was wrong, he couldn't help but hold Huo Chen's arm and asked worriedly.
The matter was urgent, and it was not good news, Huo Chen didn't want to tell Yun Xiangrong.
But if he leaves in such a hurry and makes Yun Xiangrong think wildly, it will inevitably increase her psychological burden, which is not a good thing. Second, he believes in Yun Xiangrong's mental capacity.
So Huo Chen took Yun Xiangrong's hand and said in a low voice: "Jiang Guogong escaped from prison, the emperor urgently summoned me to the palace, I have to leave on horse, you have to take good care of yourself in the mansion." ”
It turned out that Fang Yunqing and Wang Xuejing returned to the palace, but they didn't see Wang Xuejing's father Wang Jing'an, and only after asking Mrs. Wang did they know that something had happened in the prison and Wang Jing'an was summoned to the palace.
Yun Qing had just asked someone to send a letter to Huo Chen's side, and as soon as the person arrived, the father-in-law who had ordered Huo Chen to summon him from the palace had also arrived.
Yun Xiangrong was taken aback when he heard this.
Jiang Guogong escaped from prison? How so? The people guarding Jiang Guogong are all Huo Chen's cronies, and there will be no mistakes, how could it be so sudden?
"Then you go and be careful." Yun Xiang couldn't afford to think about it too much, and said to Huo Chen.
She knew in her heart that since Jiang Guogong had escaped from prison, the emperor would definitely be furious, and Huo Chen, who was in charge of guarding Jiang Guogong, would definitely bear the brunt of it, and she was worried, but she didn't dare to delay him.
"Wait for me at home obediently, don't think nonsense, scare yourself, I'll be fine." Huo Chen dropped a kiss on Yun Xiangrong's forehead and said in a low voice.
If it was ordinary, he wouldn't have deliberately instructed him like this, but now that Yun Xiangrong is pregnant, his mind is heavy, and he is prone to cranky thoughts, and he doesn't dare to be negligent.
waited for Yun Xiangrong to speak, he let go of Yun Xiangrong, turned around and hurriedly left the Zhennan Palace.
After Huo Chen left, Yun Xiang sat for a while before getting up and going back to the room.
She was worried about Huo Chen, but she wouldn't lose her mind, nothing had happened now, she couldn't mess with herself, if something happened to her, it would be to make trouble for Huo Chen.
Even if she is pregnant, Yun Xiangrong still maintains her sanity far beyond ordinary people, and will definitely not cause trouble to Huo Chen because she is worried.
After Huo Chen left the Zhennan Palace, he went directly into the palace.
Imperial Room.
As soon as Huo Chen entered the door, he went directly to the emperor to greet him.
However, what came to his face was the emperor's anger.
"Didn't you say that you sent heavy troops to guard it, so it was foolproof? Why is there such a thing as jailbreaking? Jiang Guogong has been hiding in the dark for many years, although he has checked a lot of his comrades these days, but there must still be remnants of evil, he has escaped, and there will definitely be another war within the country, and he will definitely not give up this golden opportunity to leave the country. The emperor scolded angrily.
Huo Chen did not hesitate at all, and directly knelt on the ground to ask for guilt, "The minister is derelict in his duties, please ask the emperor to surrender." ”
He understands very well that the emperor under anger has no reason to talk about, instead of justifying himself and making the emperor angry, it is better to take the initiative to ask for guilt, and the emperor may calm down.
Sure enough, seeing that Huo Chen didn't defend himself, the emperor really calmed down.
He looked at Huo Chen, trying his best to calm his restless emotions, and then said calmly: "Now that people have escaped, it is useless to punish your crimes, I will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, and I will hand over this matter to you, you must arrest Jiang Guogong as soon as possible, so as not to cause greater losses." ”
"Wechen understands." Huo Chen replied calmly.
"There you go." The emperor waved his hand and motioned for Huo Chen to go ahead first.
After Huo Chen left, the emperor paced back and forth in the imperial room, his face ugly.
Jiang Guogong has been operating in Qiguo for many years, needless to say, he has a deep foundation, not to mention that in the two months he fell, Huo Chen cleaned up a lot of people under his command who tried to save him, but these people still persevered to save him, which is enough to show his influence.
Although he was angry, he believed in Huo Chen's ability, otherwise he would not have handed over the important task of guarding Jiang Guogong to Huo Chen.
But with such a strict defense, Jiang Guogong was still rescued, and how deep-rooted the forces under him were.
For a while, the emperor's heart chilled.
He suddenly seemed to remember something, strode towards the door, and commanded in his mouth: "Little Dezi, drive the Moon Palace." ”
Gonggong De hurriedly followed behind the emperor, and was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then hurriedly shouted: "Swing the Moon Palace." ”
The Missing Moon Palace is also commonly known as the Cold Palace, in the palace, but any woman who is beaten into the Cold Palace, it will never be pampered again in her life.
After all, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the concubines who don't often appear in front of the emperor will be forgotten at any time, not to mention the concubines who are beaten into the cold palace.
The second emperor picked up the queen and sent the queen into the cold palace, and now that Jiang Guogong has escaped from prison, he suddenly thought of the queen.
The queen and Jiang Guogong are father and daughter in the end, and it is through the power of the queen that Jiang Guogong has been able to have the power and ambition of the future over the years, he thinks, the queen must be able to know where Jiang Guogong goes.
The emperor descended on the Missing Moon Palace and immediately stunned the eunuchs guarding the palace.
"Long live the emperor, long live." The palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the Missing Moon Palace knelt on the ground, trembling.
The emperor looked up at the slightly dilapidated gate in front of him and frowned slightly.
He only knew that the Missing Moon Palace was a cold palace, but he had never come to see it, it turned out that there was such a deplorable place in the huge palace.
"Which palace is the former Empress Jiang in?" The emperor asked.
The father-in-law who was kneeling on the ground was shocked, but he didn't expect that the emperor's trip was actually to see the former queen.
However, he was embarrassed and said, "Jiang's her...... She's afraid she won't be able to see the Holy Driver. ”
"Why is that?" The emperor was taken aback and asked coldly.
Jiang Jing is the only one who is still in the open, and can have a relationship with Jiang Guogong, could it be that Jiang Jing also had an accident?
"This ...... Jiang Shi went crazy for some reason earlier, but now he is either stupid and stupid, or he is manic and irrepressible, and he has not seen a sober time, if Shengruo goes to see her, I am afraid that he will not be able to talk to her. The steward's father-in-law said respectfully.
"Crazy? When the Jiang clan was demoted to the Missing Moon Palace, it was fine. Why is it that it has only been a few months, and people are crazy? The emperor's face was full of surprise, but in the end, it was all cold.
The steward's father-in-law knelt on the ground respectfully, and he didn't dare to breathe, and said tremblingly: "Xu is the life of the Missing Moon Palace is hard, the Jiang family is used to the days of brocade clothes and jade food, and the gap is too big for a while, and there are many unaccustomed people, plus there are some crazy people around, so it is like this, and the slaves are also ......."
"Okay, no need to say, lead the way." The emperor waved his hand to interrupt the words of the father-in-law in charge, and said coldly.
"Yes." The steward's father-in-law didn't dare to say much, and respectfully led the way in front.
The emperor followed behind with an indifferent face, all the way bleak and ruined, and from time to time he could hear the laughter of those concubines who had gone crazy, which made the emperor sigh in his heart.
"Emperor Qi, the Jiang family is inside." The housekeeper walked to the door of a palace and said respectfully.
"You wait here, little Dezi, you go in with me." The emperor commanded lightly.
Walking into the palace, there was bleakness and silence everywhere, and there was no one in the huge palace, and there was no sound at all, and the emperor frowned slightly.
The people in the house heard the movement outside, and hurried out, and when they saw the emperor, they were stunned.
Immediately, the whole person knelt on the ground and shouted Long live the emperor.
The emperor recognized that this was Mama Huang beside the queen, so he ordered her to get up, and then said, "What about her?" ”
Mama Huang knew that the emperor was the queen who was asking, and tears of excitement welled up in her eyes, but more of them were gloomy.
Queen Mother, you finally waited for the emperor to come to see you, but why didn't you survive......
Mama Huang thought and took the emperor inside.
When I walked inside, I saw the queen lying on the ground, holding a wooden branch in her hand, and she was lying on the ground intently...... Count the ants!
When the emperor saw this disobedient scene, his eyes flashed with surprise.
Finally, he remembered the purpose of his trip.
"Queen, I've come to see you." The emperor opened his mouth lightly.
However, the queen didn't seem to listen at all, but she still played with ants and seemed very serious.
The emperor stood in front of the queen, looking at the queen without the slightest expression, looking at the ants on the ground with a serious and innocent face, and his heart was confused.
Could it be that the queen is really crazy?
"Husband and wife for more than 20 years, I didn't expect that you would end up in this field in just a few months, after all, ...... It's me who came too late. The emperor opened his mouth like a sigh.
"These days, a lot of things have happened, and I often feel like I can't do it."
"Prince, our child, I had high hopes for him, but he was too disappointed in me, he was close to the villain Yuan Xianchen, and in the end, he couldn't even tolerate a woman in the back house, which really made me feel cold. In a fit of rage, I decreed that he should be deposed as the crown prince. ”
With a "click", the branch of the queen's hand broke in two, but the queen continued to play with the crawling ants with the remaining half of the branch as if she hadn't noticed.
The emperor's eyes were dark, and he continued: "The most painful thing for me is Jiang Guogong. ”
"Over the years since you were in the back position, he has gathered wealth and power, formed a party for personal gain, and this time he still thinks of the rebellion of the soldiers, and was taken down by me with a thunderbolt, he still wants to resist, he really doesn't shed tears when he sees the coffin."
"It's just that there is someone who is not dead, and he actually helped him escape from prison, wanting to take the opportunity to disturb the situation of the country, and his heart can be punished."
"I was going to wait for Jiang Guogong's matter to settle down, and then recall the emperor, polish it again, and then entrust it with important tasks, but I didn't want such a thing to happen."
It was rare for the emperor to put down the shelf, and he chattered a lot.
However, seeing that the queen didn't have much to reflect, she sighed helplessly, got up and walked out.
"The Emperor stays behind." When the emperor walked to the door, he heard a hoarse cry from behind him.
The emperor turned around and saw the queen looking at him calmly, where was there a little sluggish appearance.
The emperor stayed alone with the queen for a long time before leaving the Missing Moon Palace.
After leaving the Missing Moon Palace, the emperor issued a holy decree to fish the queen out of the Missing Moon Palace again, although there was no place, but it was arranged in a better palace.
This is the first concubine to re-emerge after entering the Missing Moon Palace, which is surprising.
The queen was placed in the Fengwei Palace, and the emperor went to go for a while.
The queen has already cleaned up, and there is no longer the slightest bit of embarrassment in the Missing Moon Palace.
After all, she has been a queen for decades, and her body is natural, although she only wears ordinary clothes, she can't hide her noble bearing.
"The concubine promised the emperor that she would no longer pretend to be crazy and stupid, and go to the front of people to attract the attention of Jiang Guogong for the emperor, and also hoped that the emperor could fulfill his promise and save my son from exile. The queen said calmly.
The queen knew a lot of things about Jiang Guogong, so Jiang Guogong would let people drug her and make her crazy.
And this time, the emperor took advantage of Jiang Guogong's jealousy to pull the queen to the front of the people again, so that Jiang Guogong felt that the queen might make a comeback, and if he couldn't hold it back, he would send someone to assassinate the queen.
There are many mistakes in doing more, as long as Jiang Guogong does it, then he can follow the vine and catch Jiang Guogong.
The emperor thought about it and said lightly: "The day Jiang Guogong is captured, it is the day he is exempted from exile." ”
"Concubines, thank you for the emperor's grace." The queen said with a respectful salute.
"You can get some rest." The emperor said, and turned around and walked out of the palace with Gonggong De.
Standing outside the palace gate of the Fengwei Palace, the emperor looked back at the Fengwei Palace.
"Send someone to spread the news, Jiang Guogong knows about it, and he will definitely mess up." The emperor said to the father-in-law on the side.
"Yes." Father-in-law De responded respectfully, and then asked, "Then do you want to send someone to watch at the Jiang family?" ”
"Yes." The emperor said lightly: "She can't fly out of my palm." ”
The father-in-law of De responded, and the emperor took him away.
The bait has been sprinkled, see when the fish has hooked.
The emperor started from the queen and set up a set for Jiang Guogong, but Huo Chen went to the morgue where the corpse was collected by the criminal department.
Huo Chen ordered someone to remove the white cloth covering the corpse and inspect the wound of the corpse.
"The wound is clean and neat, it was done by a master, do you find any news here?" Out of the morgue, Huo Chen asked Han Mi who was following him.
"There has been no substantial progress. The other party acted neatly, and it was difficult to find the trace for a while. Han Mi said respectfully.
"You continue to investigate, and don't let go of any clues." Huo Chen instructed Han Mi, looked at the sky, and saw that it was not early, so he returned to the Zhennan Palace.
Mansion, Yun Xiang Rong saw Huo Chen come back and greeted him.
"How? The emperor didn't punish you, did he? Are there any injuries? Yun Xiangrong grabbed Huo Chen's hand and asked anxiously.
"I'm fine." Huo Chen took Yun Xiangrong's hand and said in a low voice.
Seeing that Yun Xiangrong's expression still did not hide his worry, Huo Chen did not mean to be bored, and pulled her to sit on the chair beside her, "The emperor still wants me to investigate Jiang Guogong's escape from prison, he will not deal with me easily, I am still safe for the time being." ”
"But since Jiang Guogong has escaped from prison, it is not so easy to get it back, and after a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not be angry with you." Yun Xiangrong said.
"That's all for the future, if you can find out Jiang Guogong's whereabouts before then, it will be fine." Huo Chen reassured.
Yun Xiangrong nodded and said, "You haven't had dinner yet, I'll have someone bring dinner." Yun Xiangrong said, and without waiting for Huo Chen to refuse, he directly asked someone to bring dinner.
Huo Chen had a meal, then cleaned up early, and rested with Yun Xiangrong.
In his words, a big thing happened, and now that he has no clue, he will wake up first.
Moreover, Yun Xiangrong is also pregnant, so she has to rest early every day.
Dark, Yun Xiangrong asked in a low voice: "Ah Chen, Jiang Guogong escaped from prison this time, there must be someone in the prison to help hide it, now that Jiang Guogong has lost his trace, internal and external troubles, you have to be careful." ”
"I understand. Now that you are pregnant, do not think too much about these things, lest they hurt your spirit, and I will take care of them. Huo Chen said in a low voice.
"Hmm." Yun Xiangrong responded, his voice a little muffled.
"Sleep." Huo Chen gently patted Yun Xiangrong's shoulder and reassured him in a low voice.
Yun Xiangrong didn't react during pregnancy, it was drowsy, Huo Chen didn't come back before, she was worried and anxious, so naturally she didn't have the heart to fall asleep, but now that Huo Chen was by her side, her sleepiness suddenly became thick.
Feeling that the breathing of the person in his arms gradually stabilized, and he was sure that Yun Xiangrong was asleep, Huo Chen gently put Yun Xiangrong on the bed, but he got up lightly.
There was such a big thing as Jiang Guogong's escape from prison, Huo Chen's heart was extremely stressed, and it was far less relaxed than he appeared on the surface.
It's just that he doesn't want Yun Xiangrong to worry, so he will show a calm attitude.
Leaving the room, Huo Chen went to the room.
In the room, there were already people waiting for Huo Chen in the dark.
Seeing Huo Chen enter the door, Zhan Long saluted: "I've seen the master." ”
"Excuse me." Huo Chen said lightly.
"Jiang Guogong escaped from prison, presumably you have received the news, have you found anything?" Huo Chen asked in a low voice.
"This incident happened suddenly, and the investigation was not so fast, and I asked the master to wait a while, and his subordinates should find out who did it as soon as possible." War Dragon Road.
"This matter must be investigated as soon as possible, he has a grudge against this king to kill his father, and the power of his hand is not yet known, if he is allowed to do so, the country will be in chaos." Huo Chen said solemnly.
"The subordinates understand. The Hidden Wing Army has already been dispatched in Qiguo, and I think there will be news soon. War Dragon said in a low voice.
Huo Chen nodded slightly when he heard this, and discussed other matters with Zhan Long in a low voice, and after a long time, Zhan Long quietly left the Zhennan Palace.
