Chapter 264: Rebellion

Peng Mo chuckled when she heard this, and said lightly: "She was born in Houfu, and the people she came into contact with were either rich or noble, so she cultivated a high-minded and arrogant character. ”

Liu Ying nodded, what the master said made sense, with Zhao Qingying's character, if she got along well with Qi Yeru's woman, it would be strange!

"Has Qi Yeru been in contact with any special people in the past few days?" she always felt that there was a conspiracy for Zhao Qingying to defect to the General's Mansion at this time, so she guessed that the person behind it might be Qi Yeru.

Liu Ying shook her head and said: "There is nothing abnormal, in the past few days, because of the matter of King Qu, the court has been in chaos, everyone is cautious, Qi Yeru has been more and more cautious, and he has even shirked all the entertainment, and he has not gone out of the mansion all day." ”

"Is there a connection between Wei Yingran and Siyan?" "How much does Wei Yingran know about Siyan's behavior today?What role does he play in Siyan's plan?

The secret guard in charge of monitoring outside the Chengenhou Mansion said that no one came in or out, and Siyan mostly stayed in the post house and rarely saw guests. ”

Peng Mo frowned, abnormal: "These people are too quiet!"

Hearing Peng Mo's words, Liuying's spirit instantly froze, and she frowned and asked, "Did the master say that we missed something?"

It must be a trivial matter for the secret guards cultivated by Jin Xiuchen to miss, Peng Mo became a little nervous: "You immediately ask Qi Mu to go to King Chen's Mansion and tell Jin Xiuchen what I said!"

I hope it's just that she's too worried, and nothing happens!

"Yes, my subordinates will go. Liuying didn't dare to delay, and immediately went out to find Qi Xin.

And Qi Mu rushed to King Chen's Mansion as soon as he got the news, and after seeing Jin Xiuchen, he conveyed Peng Mo's concerns to him.

Jin Xiuchen frowned slightly after hearing this, and before he could speak, he saw Qi Xin hurriedly walking in, his face was dark, and he arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, something happened!"

"What's the matter?" Jin Xiuchen's heart jumped, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Qi Xin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The secret guards outside the Chengenhou Mansion have all been killed!"

"What? were all killed?" Qi Mu was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't care about the rules, and roared, "Who can have this ability?"

Jin Xiuchen's peach eyes narrowed slightly, he was silent for a moment, and then pulled his lips and sneered: "Wei Yingran!"

"Your Highness, what now?" Qi Xin thought in his heart that it was also Wei Yingran's hands and feet, and this sick and weak son would not be able to show his true identity!

Jin Xiuchen sneered: "Hang the head of the peaceful person in the most conspicuous place in front of the gate of the Chengenhou Mansion, and you must let all the people passing by see it clearly!"

Qi Xin's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said yes with his jaw, and went to prepare.

Jin Xiuchen looked at Qi Mu at this time, and said lightly: "Go back, don't tell the princess about this matter for the time being, your first duty is to protect the princess's safety, and there must be no mistakes!" Although the tone was flat, when the word princess was spoken, there was obviously a sense of tension!

Qi Mu didn't dare to slack off, and arched his hand: "The subordinates have received the order, and they will protect the safety of the princess with their lives!"

After the two left, Jin Xiuchen walked to the window, half-lying on the bamboo rattan chair, closed his eyes and thought about it.

Although the secret guards he set up outside the gate of the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion are not very sophisticated, they are also beyond the reach of ordinary people, and now they have all been killed, and he is not even aware of it!

Wei Yingran: Is this going to fight back?

Very good, he did all this again and again in order to get rid of Mo'er, the "nominal" fiancΓ©, some time ago, Wei Yingran has never fought back, and he can't find a flaw, at this time, the opportunity has come!

When the night receded, the morning light was slightly dewed, Peng Mo turned over and got up, washed up and went to the Lotus Garden to say goodbye.

"Auntie, it's getting cold day by day, you have to pay more attention to your cultivation, don't kneel in front of the Buddha shrine every day, and your knees hurt. A smiling and gentle voice.

"You've got a heart!" replied blandly.

Before Peng Mo walked in, he heard the conversation between Peng and Zhao Qingying, and the smile on the corner of his lips was still there, but he was a little cold, and he looked sideways at Liuying.

Liuying understood, and nodded slightly.

The little girl who was waiting outside saw Peng Mo, and hurriedly passed it inside, and cleverly opened the curtain and said hello sweetly: "The fourth lady is here." ”

Peng Mo nodded with a smile, walked into the room, and saw Zhao Qingying kneeling beside Peng's side, putting her hands on Peng's knees, and massaging gently.

"The daughter greets her mother. ”

Peng said in a friendly voice: "Mo'er is here, come quickly." He beckoned.

Peng Mo approached, held Peng's hand, frowned slightly and asked, "Is my mother's knee uncomfortable?"

"No, it was Aunt Zhao who said that she learned massage and dredged one or two for me. Peng shook his head.

"That's fine, scared my daughter. Peng Mo said with palpitations.

Peng patted the back of Peng Mo's hand soothingly, turned around and ordered, "Go and prepare breakfast, and bring all the porridge and side dishes that Mo'er likes." ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go. Ingenuity smiled and went to prepare.

"Then I'll quit. Zhao Qingying got up very well aware of the current affairs, bowed her knees, and saw Peng's nod, so she retreated in an orderly manner.

Peng Mo glanced at Liuying, who nodded and quietly retreated.

Peng rubbed Peng Mo's hair and asked distressedly: "Mo'er, I heard that you copied the scriptures late last night? Be careful of hurting your eyes." ”

"I'm fine, don't worry, my eyes are good!" Peng Mo said playfully, and then flashed his big eyes to Peng, which made Peng chuckle and scolded her for being a ghost.

The mother and daughter had breakfast warmly, Peng Mo came out of the Lotus Garden, and Liuying followed, and said in a low voice: "Master, Aunt Zhao accidentally fell into the lotus pond when she returned to Muze Garden, and now she has been rescued." ”

"Good. "She should also be allowed to suffer some hardships, preferably for ten or eight days, so that her mother's ears can be clean.

After returning to the Mohe Garden, Peng Mojing came to the table and began to copy the scriptures again.

Liuying waited quietly on one side, adding a cup of hot tea from time to time, but rarely spoke, the room was quiet, only the fragrance of books and ink spread in the room.

On the other side, the door of the Chengenhou Mansion was as lively as a bazaar, and the family in the house heard the noisy sound outside, opened the door to look, but was frightened by the scene in front of him and lost his soul, sat on the ground, and stammered and shouted: "People. . . Head... Someone... Come on!"

Jing Zhaoyin received the news as soon as possible, because Zhao Sen was still in the early dynasty and had not returned, so the master found Peng Hao, after all, he was also one of the people in charge of this case, and he was a more authoritative person than Zhao Sen.

After hearing this, Peng Hao said awe-inspiringly: "You send someone to wait for Lord Zhao outside the palace gate, and tell him the truth about this matter." As he spoke, he got up and said, "I'll go to the Chengenhou Mansion now." ”

The master listened to Peng Hao's orderly instructions, and only had the share of the promise, and nodded after he finished speaking: "Yes, the small one will be arranged." ”

In the palace, the early dynasty has retreated, but the emperor's diligent palace is still lively, but although there are many people, the atmosphere is condensed to the freezing point.

The emperor coldly inspected the officials in the palace, all of them were the party of the king of Qu, and this party of the king of the canal was headed by Gu Xiang, the emperor's eyes finally fell on Gu Xiang, and said in a deep voice: "What else does Gu Xiang have to do?"

When Gu Xiang heard the emperor's inquiry, he knelt tremblingly, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister feels that there are still loopholes in the case of King Qu's poisoning, and he asks the emperor to allow the three divisions to be tried and return King Qu to an innocence!"

"Loophole?" The emperor's face became even colder, and his big hand slapped on the imperial case again, making a muffled sound of "bang".

The Quwang Party in the palace saw that the emperor was angry, and knelt on the ground and said, "The emperor is angry." There was a perfunctory tone in his voice.

"Who said that the evidence in this case is insufficient and there are loopholes?" the emperor's angry voice echoed in the hall.

Everyone lowered their heads and was silent, not daring to speak, Gu Xiang raised his head, looked into the emperor's eyes, and said: "It was the old minister who said it, the old minister has watched King Qu grow up since he was a child, and he is convinced of his words and deeds, he will not do such a thing, and he will not do such a stupid thing!"

The emperor sneered, Gu Xiang deserves to be the head of civil officials, this mouth really has the ability to reverse black and white, listen to this awe-inspiring voice, and then look at this firm demeanor, as if he is the one who is poisoned.

"General Peng Zhanpeng has arrived, and the criminal department has arrived. ”

Father-in-law's sharp singing sounded outside the hall, and Father-in-law Su glanced at the emperor, and seeing that he did not object, he hurriedly gave the little eunuch beside him a look.

The little eunuch was very clever, hurriedly went out, and invited the two in.

The arrival of Peng Zhan and Mu Langyue undoubtedly made the Qinzheng Hall more lively.

Qu Wang Dang was a little flustered when he saw Peng Zhan with a knife, and after each glanced at each other, he lowered his head even lower, and his attitude was respectful again.

As we all know, the military attache must unload his weapons, but Peng Zhan has a weapon in his hand, obviously with the emperor's approval, think about it again, the emperor summoned Peng Zhan at this time, the meaning is self-evident, that is, to suppress them, these civil officials, if they dare to move, I am afraid that the blood will be spilled in the hall immediately.

The two of them, who didn't look at each other, knelt straight, and looked straight ahead with deep eyes.

The emperor looked at Gu Xiang and said coldly: "Gu Xiangmo is not waiting for Concubine Xian?"

Gu Xiang's eyes widened instantly when he heard this, he looked at the emperor in disbelief, opened his mouth but didn't say a word.

The emperor looked at Gu Xiang's expression, pulled his lips and smiled, and sneered: "Do you want to rebel with the hundred guards in the Huayang Palace of the Virtuous Concubine?"

There was an obvious sound of gasping in the hall, and the party of King Qu was in turmoil.

An old minister quickly sorted out the cause and end of the matter, kowtowed heavily and prostrated on the ground, and pleaded loudly: "The emperor is aware of it, and the minister has been bewitched by Gu Xiang, and he does not dare to have the heart of disobedience, let alone participate in the rebellion!"

At this time, the condensed atmosphere in the hall, and the remarks of one person pleading guilty were enough to drive everyone, and almost instantly, only Gu Xiang was kneeling upright in the hall.

The emperor glanced at Father-in-law Su, who nodded knowingly, withdrew, and walked in again after a while, followed by a woman.

This man was dressed in a luxurious service and had a proud posture, but he was bound hand and foot, and was carried in by two guards.

Take a closer look, isn't this person the lord of Huayang Palace, the virtuous concubine!
