Chapter 142: Bait
In the imperial city, in the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace, a team of palace maids and eunuchs who swept the palace room were busy in a hurry, but they did not make a sound in an orderly manner.
In the Yannian Hall of Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother who greeted Chaoyang and drank morning tea at the window was dressed in a straight ink blue palace dress, dignified and luxurious in the brilliant light. At this moment, she slowly put down the teacup and silently looked at Xuanyuan Tao standing aside, silent.
Xuanyuan Tao looked inexplicable, lowered his head and pondered, where did he make the grandmother of the big backer unhappy, and he was sweating on his forehead when he thought about it, and he didn't want to think of something ugly.
The Queen Mother suddenly shouted: "Good you disobedient!"
Xuanyuan Tao was shocked to the point that his legs were weak, and he fell to his knees at once, looking at the Queen Mother who suddenly turned her face and didn't recognize anyone.
"Tell me, the purpose of you hiding the other half of the southern Xinjiang deployment map. The Queen Mother's voice was calm, but full of threat.
"Imperial grandmother, my grandson really doesn't know where the other half of the southern Xinjiang map is," Xuanyuan Tao's face turned red, infinitely aggrieved, "The purpose of the Tibetan map, grandson can't talk about it!?"
"Your slave was stolen out of your study, caught by the officers and soldiers of the morning patrol, and the human and material evidence is complete, and he is still trying to quibble?!" The queen mother's voice was still gloomy, but Xuanyuan Tao's face was gradually forced to turn pale, "Xu Yes, you are sure that your loyal slave, as soon as the matter is revealed, you will destroy the plan and commit suicide in order to protect you?!"
"Grandson is wronged!!" Xuanyuan Tao kowtowed again and again, and his voice trembled to defend himself, "This is a killing move that is going to put his grandson to death! That slave ruined the picture, that is, the grandson will be speechless! The picture stolen from the grandson's study is not real, but it has become a real picture!"
"Still quibbling!" the Queen Mother shouted, "When I'm really old and dizzy!"
The queen mother was angry, and her son felt that there was some truth in Tao'er's words. The emperor slowly walked into the Yannian Palace, his voice was heavy, standing beside Xuanyuan Tao, who was kowtowing to the ground, looking at him condescendingly, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, "Tao'er, now only you can lead out the details of Liaohu Yu's sin lurking in my court and harem." ”
"Erchen, be willing to be bait!" Xuanyuan Tao was stunned for a moment, his face turned gray in an instant, his eyes flickered, and he kowtowed heavily, "Father and Emperor show it, Erchen will never give up!"
"Okay!" the emperor smiled lightly, his voice was as cruel as if he had been quenched with poison, "Look at my trick to invite you into the urn, and the plan of catching turtles in the urn of the queen mother complements each other!"
"Fight the tiger brothers, go into battle with father and son!" The queen mother's eyes turned, smiled slightly, looked at the emperor approvingly and nodded, "My son is going to make a move?"
"Yes, cut through the mess," the Emperor nodded slowly.
"Okay, it's lightning fast!" the Queen Mother gently closed her palms in satisfaction.
Xuanyuan Tao, who won the championship in the rumors, Xuanyuan Tao, the original fifth prince, who disappeared for two whole days, shocked everyone's jaws when he reappeared.
"The traitor Xuanyuan Tao, expelled from the Xuanyuan family tree, removed from the status of the common people, reduced to a slave, and beheaded in a month!" In the prisoner car, the unkempt Xuanyuan Tao straightened his sturdy figure, looked straight ahead, and let passers-by smash rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves on his body.
In the old teahouse on the street, in the private room on the second floor, several elderly people looked at Xuanyuan Tao in the prisoner car, exchanged their heads and whispered.
"Pathetic! This is the end of the fight!"
"That coveted seat, the princes bent their waists, and what he did was not wrong!"
"If you don't succeed, you will fall into prison!"
"Don't say it, don't say it!"
The onlookers didn't think so deeply, and they shouted angrily, especially those who had children marching in southern Xinjiang or who had just gone out with the army:
"Treasonous sinners!
"Those who kill a thousand knives and lead foreigners to kill the border guards of their own clan should be thundered by the sky!"
"Provoke a war and cause my son to go on the expedition, my daughter-in-law who said that he is not willing to marry, and he can't kill you!"
"Traitor who deserves to be killed!"
Along the way, there was a lot of scolding, and Xuanyuan Tao suddenly felt funny. The prince who was tall yesterday, and the slave who tied up the prisoner car today, life is really interesting!
Now he is a traitorous sinner, and when the water comes to light later, he has transformed himself into a noble prince who endures humiliation for the country and the people, hahaha! Everything in this world is all coaxing! Hahaha!
"Damn sinners, dare you laugh!"
Xuanyuan Tao thought silently, and the smile he showed was discovered!
There was more debris thrown in, and as soon as his forehead was hot, liquid flowed down, obscuring his vision, and he looked red everywhere. There was a smell of blood, and I was injured.
At this time, it must look very embarrassing, perhaps, it is more appropriate to describe it as pitiful.
It's just that who would pity themselves?
The mother concubine must be distressed, but fortunately she is no longer there;
The father will definitely not ask, he only cares about whether he can lead to the details.
His wife and children will be worried. But what they are worried about is that their identity as the emperor's relatives is still not there, and they will not be implicated, so after walking for so long, they don't dare to come out and see themselves!
From the moment he became sensible, he calculated and calculated all the time, and he was afraid of suffering losses, but after thinking about it all his might, what did he gain? Over the years, he had not had a moment of peace, and in the end, he had gained nothing! This life is extremely ridiculous!
The smile couldn't be held back anymore, Xuanyuan Tao laughed, laughing irrepressibly. The onlookers suddenly overwhelmed the discussion and invective, and they all thought that the prisoner had lost his mind and gone crazy.
It was only in front of the prison door of the Criminal Department that the pariahs were held that the crowd dispersed.
was dragged out of the prison cart and thrown into the stinking cage, Xuanyuantao's laughter slowly stopped, and the wound on his forehead was still bleeding, and the pain was scorching. My stomach was so hungry that my stomach twitched sharply, but none of this discomfort was as unbearable as the ground of the cage.
The damp ground was muddy, the feces were stinking everywhere, and the stinking sensation was like smelling the deepest part of hell rotting and dying, and every breath was like a late punishment.
Since childhood, he has had a habit of cleanliness, which makes Xuanyuan Tao unable to extricate himself from falling into madness, but no matter how he slaps and escapes, the filthy and foul smell is like maggots on tarsal bones, lingering.
"Isn't this person crazy?!"
"It looks like it!"
In the corner of the cage, two figures crouched, glancing at each other, leaning into the corner, the shackles on their feet making a dull crashing sound.
"Now, the boots on the madman's feet are good, and when he is crazy and tired, I will pick them up and wear them!"
"Then, then I want his clothes, which look soft!"
Everything in front of me began to spin and darken, this is about to faint, right? Fortunately, the body can no longer stand the dirty stimulation, and the coma is also a kind of rest. The last feeling is that my feet are cold, and I should have taken away my boots. If you can't wake up again, then it's okay, just come naked, go naked......
