CHAPTER XV. THE TRUTH II

Next, the Beigong Gong faction forbidden army prepared to surround Zhang Qian's mansion.

When he arrived at Zhang's mansion, he was greeted by the ruins of Zhang's mansion after it was burned down, surrounded by a thick pungent smell of smoke.

At this time, I saw a man in his thirties, wearing an official uniform, who was ordering people to clean up the scene, and when he saw that King De sent the forbidden army to come, he approached with doubts, clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Royal Highness King De will see your majesty!" ”

Beigong Gong's tone was cold, and he hummed softly, and then he asked, "What happened?" ”

Shaoqing (Chu Xiao) of Dali Temple replied in a non-hurried tone, "Back to Your Highness, I received a report this morning, saying that Zhang's mansion was on fire, and the lower officials immediately brought people to prepare to extinguish the fire, but the fire was too big, and it still burned seven, seven, eight, eight, eight." ”

Beigong Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Zhang's mansion coldly, and asked again, "Is there a living mouth left." "This king has just found out that the assassin was sent by Zhang Qian, and last night Zhang's mansion caught fire, which is too much of a coincidence.

Shaoqing of Dali Temple replied, "Back to His Highness, the entire Zhang Mansion has not been spared." Xia Guan believes that this is not just a simple fire case, and there should be a huge conspiracy hidden behind it. ”

Beigong asked in a weak tone, "Then what do you think?" ”

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, the lower officials believe that this fire case can be investigated together with the palace assassination case."

When Beigong Gong heard what he said, he smiled lightly, "Yes, Lord Chu is worthy of being the first detective of the Chen Kingdom." ”

He replied calmly, "Your Highness has praised it falsely, and the lower officials dare not be it!" ”

Beigong Gong Gong was no longer playing with him, and said coldly: "Okay, Lord Chu, this king is here today, I think you also know a thing or two, so I won't say more." Now that Zhang Qian is dead, the clue of this case is broken here, and from now on, this king orders you to take full responsibility for this case, and you must find out who is behind the scenes. The king gives you five days, and if you can't find out who it is after five days, you must know the consequences. ”

Of course, Chu Xiao knew the consequences, and even if the prince didn't kill me, the emperor would send someone to execute him.

His face was neither humble nor arrogant, and he clenched his fists to accept the order, "Yes, the next official will investigate this case to the bottom of the matter, otherwise he will come to see you!" ”

Beigong Gong nodded, and then left with the forbidden army.

Chu Xiao ordered all the corpses to be carried back to Dali Temple, and Zhang's mansion was blocked, and no one was allowed to set foot in this place without his orders.

In this way, after a few days, the palace's Zhen Rong finally woke up.

That night, Beigong Yuliu, as usual, finished feeding me medicine, and sat next to the bookcase to review the recitals.

I woke up from my coma and muttered, "Water, water, I want to drink water." "I opened my eyes.

At this time, Yanliu saw that I had opened my eyes, and wanted to dance happily.

Beigong Yuliu also heard it, immediately got up, ran to the table and poured a glass of water, came to my side, gently raised my head, and fed the water into my mouth.

He gave the glass to Smoke Willow, and then gently lowered it to me.

When he saw that I wanted to get up and sit, he took a soft pillow, gently helped me up, and then put the pillow behind me and let me sit.

His face was full of joy, and he grabbed my hand tightly, and his hand seemed to tremble a little, as if he was afraid, but also as if he was happy.

It seems that I was injured this time, and he should be afraid that I really have three longs and two shorts!

I saw Beigong Yuliu holding my hand with both hands, kissing it, and his tone was excited, "Xiao Zhen'er, you finally woke up, you are about to scare me to death, I am so afraid that you will not wake up like this." ”

I tried to withdraw my hand, but he held it too tightly, and I was still injured, so I didn't dare to push too hard, so I had to forget it.

My face turned pale and my tone was weak, "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?" ”

When he heard this, he immediately ordered happily, "Go and get some light porridge, right away." ”

Then the palace maid Yanliu went down to arrange.

After a while, Smoke Willow came in with a plate. She put down the plate, brought a bowl of porridge to the bedside, and was about to feed me herself, but was served by Beigong Yuliu. I saw him gently scoop a spoonful, blow it, and look at me, "It's not hot, eat it!" ”

I opened my mouth to take a bite and it tasted pretty good.

Everyone was full of admiration, and they all felt that Beigong Yuliu was so gentle and considerate at this time. They understand that only the woman in front of them will make the emperor so gentle and considerate.

After two days, my wounds were completely healed, and I could no longer lie on my bed, so I got out of bed and sat down in the pavilion of the temple, despite the opposition of the people.

This pavilion is called Qingquan Pavilion, next to the pavilion is a big rockery, and behind the rockery is a forest. There is a gentle stream of water flowing down the rockery, flowing through a small river made of stones, and slowly flowing into the lotus pond next to it. The name is quite appropriate for this scene.

I asked softly, "Smoke Willow, what's in that wood?" ”

At this time, Yanliu didn't dare to talk nonsense, she only said, "Yanliu doesn't know!" ”

These words made Zhen Rong even more curious, "Yanliu, don't be afraid, say it!" I want to know. ”

Smoke Willow said for a rare time, "This, okay! She thought to herself that it was okay for the emperor to say his affection for Niangniang.

Yanliu retreated left and right, and then said in a low voice: "Niangniang, it is said that there is a separate garden on the other side of the forest, called Qinya Villa, I heard that the current Queen Mother is imprisoned in it, I also listened to the former palace maid, whether it is true, Yanliu is not clear, after all, it is a rumor."

After listening to this, Zhen Rong asked suspiciously, "She is the queen mother, why is she locked up, and who gave the order." ”

Yanliu whispered: "I heard that it is the emperor's decree."

Zhen Rong was even more puzzled, "That's his real mother, why is she being locked up." ”

Yanliu replied, "I don't know if it's true, but I heard that the first emperor listened to the words of the Heavenly Mandate Division, saying that the emperor was a plague god, so he locked the emperor up, but the queen mother ignored the love of mother and son, ignored the emperor, and even the eunuchs and maids in the palace bullied the emperor, and finally someone told the queen mother, but the queen mother still ignored it." Therefore, when the emperor ascended the throne, he ordered the queen mother to be imprisoned in Qinya Villa. ”

Hearing this, my heart fluctuated, what did he experience when he was a child, the Yusheng Hall I saw before, I thought it was already his biggest pain, but I didn't expect that there were more painful memories than that.

At this time, I only heard a strong voice outside the palace gate, "See the emperor." ”

Beigong Yuliu, who had just descended from the court, just lightly hummed.

He walked in, saw Verrong in the pavilion not far away, and smiled at me.

When he approached, he said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Xiao Zhen'er, you are just a little better, how can you come out?" What should I do if I get a cold? As he spoke, he took off his fur cloak and put it on me.

I smiled and said, "I'm fine, I just want to come out and breathe, and then lie in it, and I have to hold my illness even if I'm not sick." ”

Beigong Yuliu stretched out her hand helplessly and hooked her pretty nose dotingly.

When they finished breakfast, Beigong Yuliu should have reviewed the folds, but he took Zhen Rong to Mochiyue Tower.

Beigong Yuliu stood on the tall building, put the hat on the cloak on Zhen Rong's head, and then, looking at Zhen Rong, her face was full of red light, "Xiao Zhen'er, do you remember what I said here at the beginning?" In this life, I will not let go of your hand. So when you choose to leave the Chu Kingdom, I am so happy that I am going crazy, and I forcibly bring you back to the Chen Kingdom, I swear in my heart, from now on, I will never let you leave me, I will give you all the love of my life, I will protect you in this life, and I will not let you be hurt in the slightest, but I didn't expect you to almost lose your life in order to save me, so, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that if you stay by my side, it will put you in a more dangerous situation. Xiao Zhen'er, you were unconscious at that time, I swear, if you can wake up, I am willing to let you go, never regret it, now you are really awake, stand by my side well, I am really grateful to God, he heard my voice, so, Xiao Zhen'er, if you want to leave, I will never stop you. ”

After listening to his words, she was moved to tears, she didn't expect him to be willing to let me go, his personality, if he didn't really love me very much, if he wasn't really afraid that I would stay by his side, what danger would there be, he would never be like this.

I didn't know what to say, I just looked at him and the tears kept dripping.

Beigong Yuliu stretched out her hand, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with relief, "Xiao Zhen'er, don't cry, I said, what I'm most afraid of is that you cry, your tears will make my heart ache, so, don't cry, okay?" ”

I stopped crying.

We looked at each other and smiled.

Sure enough, one day later, Beigong Yuliu issued an order to secretly send me out of the palace. And the decree blocked all the news, the people in the palace did not know where I went, and the people outside the palace did not know either. They all thought that I was hidden by Beigong Yuliu, but they didn't know that I had already left the palace.
