Chapter Fifty-Four: The Forbidden Palace's "Chaotic Party"
*
Tong Guan sighed and shook his head.
"Didn't you say that Your Majesty returned to the palace today? Why can't I see Your Majesty? The man asked suspiciously, as he took the bamboo basket from Tongguan's hand and walked with her to the dining room deep in the backyard.
Tong Guan frowned, "Just now, I asked the sisters of Weiyang Palace to inquire, only to learn that in the early hours of this morning, there were rebellious parties in the mound and arson......
"What?" Before Tong Guan finished speaking, the man stopped in surprise and asked, "There is such a thing?" So how is Your Majesty now? ”
Tong Guan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was as anxious as you when I first heard the news; But rest assured, Your Majesty has now returned to the palace safely and unscathed. It's just that many people died because of this rebellion, and I heard that the most favored palace maid around His Majesty, Scarlet Feather, also died in order to save the car, so it is conceivable that the situation should have been very critical at that time. ”
The man's eyebrows were furrowed, the roots of his teeth were clenched, and he secretly thought in his heart: "Rebels and thieves are too rampant!" Fortunately, the emperor has eyes and helped His Majesty escape this danger. Ponder, ponder, if you have a spirit in the sky, you must bless my lieutenant Chi Nan to see Your Majesty as soon as possible and fulfill your great trust. ”
"I have been hanging out outside the Weiyang Palace for a long time, and I have not waited for the right opportunity to ask to see Your Majesty...... Although His Majesty is safe and sound, I am afraid that the matter of Yuanqiu will be widely implicated, and there will inevitably be some turmoil in the palace and the court; Will Your Majesty have no time to take care of such a trivial matter as ours? Tong Guan suddenly became anxious, looked at Wei Chi Nan beside him and said nervously: "Yu Chi Gongzi, do you think Your Majesty has forgotten about this matter...... There are Mei them...... Will it be dangerous? ”
"Miss Tongguan," Wei Chinan looked at Tongguan with a sure look, "What we have done is not a trivial matter, Your Majesty is wise, and he will definitely take this matter to heart." She did not hastily transfer Youmei to the guard for the crime of assassination; I didn't fully listen to what Youmei said and asked her to bring me to see her, but used other things as an excuse to let the girl Tongguan turn around, which shows that His Majesty is far-sighted and intelligent. ”
Tong Guan nodded reluctantly, "Brother Wei Chi, I don't know what news you have to report to Your Majesty at the risk of your life, and whether it is worth it; I only hope that your analysis is correct, and that they can return safely as soon as possible. By the way......" Tong Guan suddenly remembered something, "I just overheard that Your Majesty will be in Qingquan Palace tonight. Everyone in the palace said that Concubine Yun, who had just been canonized in Qingquan Palace, was kind and approachable, and she was loyal and good; You say, can we go and beg him and ask him to arrange for Prince Wei Chi to meet His Majesty? ”
"Concubine Yun?" Yu Chi Nan tilted his head slightly, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned.
"Well, it's the youngest son of Li Kaizong, the founding county prince, and the uncle of the first emperor's empress, Li Yunshen." Tong Guan said as he walked: "I heard that he once had a meritorious service in escorting - it seems that the people in the palace can't tell how he made meritorious service - in short, he made great contributions to escorting and won the love of His Majesty, so he stood out from many famous families and was the first to be made a concubine." I think if we can ask him for help, we can see Your Majesty tonight, and they will be released soon! On the contrary, if me, a little palace maid, asks to see me again, I am afraid that if I make Your Majesty angry again, they will be even more dangerous......"
Wei Chinan's brows did not relax until the two of them walked into the dining room, and he put the bamboo basket in his hand on the kitchen counter, and then said decisively: "No." Miss Tongguan, since Your Majesty ordered you to come to me that day, it is only right for you to go to see Your Majesty again. The so-called people's hearts are separated from the belly, and then entrusted to others, only for fear of extraneous branches. Let's be patient and wait for the right moment. ”
What Wei Chi Nan said did not completely convince Tong Guan, "If Your Majesty just talked casually at that time, and now he doesn't remember what he ordered that day, then what should we do?" Besides, although there are very few outsiders in this Manna Palace, after all, it is a deep palace, and there are many dreams at night, so it is inevitable that there will be dangers......"
Before Tong Guan finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard behind the two. The two of them were shocked, and turned back suddenly, only to see a group of guards running towards them outside the dining room, and they broke into the dining room in an instant.
"Who are you? Why arrest us?! Although Wei Chinan also guessed that he had entered the palace without permission and had no reason to defend himself, he still had to ask clearly.
One of the guards at the head raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily: "We are waiting for the order of the Taishi to search the palace for the rebels. The two of you are suspicious, and I will take you back for interrogation immediately! ”
When Wei Chinan heard this, he struggled a few times and said: "You just arrest me alone, she is just an ordinary palace maid, and nothing has anything to do with her!" ”
Before Yu Chi Nan could shout, the two people next to him had already stepped forward to plug his and Tongguan's mouths with a cloth, blindfolded them with a black cloth, tied their hands behind their backs, and pushed them out of the Manna Palace.
*
Wei Chi Nan was tied up with five flowers, unable to see or speak, under the push and shout of the guards, stumbling and bumping, as if he had walked for most of the day before he felt as if he had walked into a deep courtyard, and then tossed and turned a few halls, before he was carried by the back of the leader, and kicked his calf mercilessly, and involuntarily knelt on the ground, which made his knees feel like they were about to burst.
Immediately after that, the cloth stuffed in his mouth was torn out. A rude voice said beside him: "This is the Taishi Mansion, and there will be an adult interrogating you in a while." If you have any grievances, tell them yourself. ”
Then I heard the door close behind me, and there was no sound around.
"Tong Guan girl, Tong Guan girl...... " Wei Chinan's first thought was the safety of Tong Guan, who was affected by himself, but even after a few screams, there was no response from the surroundings.
Yu Chi Nan took a deep breath, his heart sank, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly: Guang Si has been victimized by traitors, but I didn't expect that my Wei Chi Nan would not be able to avoid the same situation in the end. I thought that I was only one step away from meeting His Majesty in person, but I didn't expect that the thieves' claws had gone deep into the forbidden; It's ridiculous that I thought I was cautious and cautious, but I was so easily detected and caught in the net. It is a pity that my lieutenant Chi Nan died, but it is a pity that I could not fulfill the trust entrusted by my best friend until I died, and I also affected my own sister and a group of good people who helped each other innocently. Since the thief laid a net to catch me, he naturally knew what Guangsi had entrusted him with, and he did not kill me rashly today, but he must have tortured me out of my mouth. No matter how vicious the thief's methods are for a while, I can't confide half a word, it's a big deal to fight to the death, and apologize to Guangsi on the Huangquan Road!
