Chapter 8: Teasing the Prince

When the queen came to the Shouxi Palace with the golden silk double dragon play bead hairpin, she saw that there were large internal guards inside and outside the Shouxi Palace, five steps and one person, and the human wall extended to the main hall.

Under the torches in the hands of these inner guards, the fire was monstrous and shining like day.

In the main hall of Shouxi Palace, the emperor and the queen mother sat on the main seat on the golden terrace, with solemn expressions.

Concubine Rong sat down on the red sandalwood chair on the right side of the golden steps, her tears were still gone, and her eyes were full of sadness.

The leader of the army, General Wei Xiao, stood on the left side of the golden steps.

Ouchi guards lined up on both sides of the main hall, with their left hand behind their backs and their right hands on the hilt of their swords.

The queen's face was calm, as if she didn't realize what she was called for.

Seeing that the queen saluted and got up, Emperor Xuanzhen's eyes were slightly closed, and he did not order anyone to show the queen a seat. Straight to the point and asked: "Does the queen know why you came?" ”

The queen shook her head: "The concubine doesn't know." However, the concubine thought that it was probably at the dinner party, and the concubine said that she was not envious to understand the rules and etiquette, and not to be frivolous and impatient, this little girl held a grudge and came back to say to the queen mother, I am afraid that the queen mother wants to be angry for the envy, right? Why just say two words about her, is Concubine Rong distressed and crying? ”

Emperor Xuanzhen glanced at General Xiao coldly, General Xiao understood, took two steps forward and said loudly: "Carry people up!" ”

Several Ouchi guards carried a man in a night suit from outside the hall, and the man was covered in wet, and there were water stains everywhere he carried it. Because his eyes were closed, his lips were bloodless, and his limbs were stiff, he was obviously a lifeless corpse.

Emperor Xuanzhen pointed to the body and said, "Just put it on the queen's side, I'm afraid she won't be able to see it clearly." ”

After the guards ordered the body to be placed at the queen's feet, Emperor Xuanzhen said again: "Queen, take a closer look, can you recognize him?" ”

The queen glanced at the man lying on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is Huaiyun, the inner servant in the palace of the concubines. What happened? Why was he killed? ”

Emperor Xuanzhen sneered: "The queen is questioning me? I should come to ask you, if you don't serve him well, why did you go to Jasper Lake to be a water ghost? He also dragged the princess into the water to drown her. ”

The corners of the queen's mouth grinned, and she sneered: "On the way to the concubine, I saw that the Jasper Lake was very lively, so I asked two more questions, and someone told the concubine that it was the princess who crossed the Jasper Lake, frolicked by the Jasper Lake, and accidentally fell into the lake." More than half of the guards in the palace went to Jasper to catch people, and the momentum was huge. The palace people who didn't know thought that something terrible had happened in the palace, and they were still panicked. Your Majesty, is the princess okay, but can she be fished up? ”

Emperor Xuanzhen closed his eyes and said in disgust: "If it weren't for your confession, I wouldn't want to see your face again." The Buddha said: There is a heart without a phase, and the phase is born from the heart; There is a phase without a heart, and the phase is extinguished by the heart. Your face is getting uglier and uglier. ”

"The concubines are old and decrepit, so they naturally dislike the emperor."

"Old age? Concubine Liang is a few years older than you, but she is still kind and gentle. You know that kindness is beauty. ”

The queen was angry in her chest, and she couldn't bear it: "Concubine Liang? Don't compare these people to me, what are she, what are they," the queen pointed at the tip of Rong Guifei's nose, and Rong Guifei leaned back in fright, "Your Majesty, what good do these women do to you except bewitch and bewitch the Lord?" If it weren't for our He family's strong support, risking losing his head, and helping you to this throne, today's throne is the king of Yongle! The most important king of Yongle in the first emperor! ”

"Presumptuous!" The Queen Mother Huo Ran got up, swept the tea bowl, and swept it to the queen's feet, and the tea bowl fell apart with a clang.

The queen was so frightened that she took a few steps back.

The Queen Mother pointed to the corpse on the ground and asked, "If it is irrelevant, Hugh will mention it again." I ask you, how did this man, who was a man of your palace, run away into the jasper lake, and how did he lure the princess into the lake and drown her in the lake. If it weren't for your instructions, how would this dog slave dare to do this. Queen, I misjudged you back then, thinking that the family was famous and noble, and the door style must be noble. I chose you to sit in this East Palace, and you see what you have done. You are ruthless and vicious, brutalizing the emperor's heir, pretending to be a water ghost, first harming the fetus in Wei Zhaoyi's womb, and you want to use your old skills again on Xian'er. It's just that I didn't expect this water ghost to be killed by Buenvy, thanks to the dagger given by King Yongle. Otherwise, this dagger will not be able to come back safe and sound. ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was furious, and she was full of words.

The queen's heart beat so violently that she forgot to argue for a moment. Later, I thought of what Lan Zhou said to herself before leaving, the princess was indeed dragged into the water, but someone secretly rescued her, and the princess was able to escape. When all this happened, the lake was pitch black, and there was no evidence to prove that Huaiyun was the murderer. As long as you insist that Huaiyun is arranged by himself to secretly protect the princess, it can be done.

After thinking about it for a while, the queen immediately pretended to be calm: "Don't slander the concubine, although he is a person in the palace of the concubine, the concubine did not instruct him to hurt the princess." The concubine just told him to protect the princess secretly, after all, the princess was assassinated last time, and the emperor and the queen mother punished the concubine for the crime of negligence and poor search. punished the concubine for half a year, and banned the concubine Fengluan Palace, and could not come out without a call. Recently, the concubines have been punished for several crimes for no reason, and they have not been able to enter and leave the harem freely for two or two years. The concubine was very bored, and it was not allowed to go to the imperial garden for a walk. simply arranged manpower, secretly with each other, and prevented it from happening. Dare to ask the queen mother, but someone saw him drag the princess down the jasper lake? ”

The Queen Mother knew that the queen was planning to frame her, but when she heard her rebuttal, she couldn't help but be angry.

There was silence in the temple.

The queen had a smug look on her face, and was about to make a powerful attack.

Outside the hall, a woman's voice suddenly came into the hall: "The slave and maid saw with your own eyes that this person dragged the princess into the water!" ”

Emperor Xuanzhen and the Queen Mother were overjoyed, and the Empress turned around in shock.

Chayan strode into the hall with his head held high, and knelt down to Emperor Xuanzhen, the Queen Mother, the Empress and Concubine Rong in turn.

Then he knelt up straight and said: "Before the princess fell into the water, the slave and maid grabbed her hand tightly, the princess was young, and the slave and maid could easily pull her into the pavilion even though she was not a martial artist, but she didn't think that someone in the lake got out of the water and grabbed the princess's feet. At that time, the claw lantern fell to the surface of the lake, and the slave and maid were able to see the true face of the water ghost, full of strange black patterns. I didn't know if the chamberlain was the water ghost, until I saw black dirt behind the man's ear and at the knife on his neck, and when the guards picked him up, I accidentally wiped the stains off his face. The back of the ears and the neck are more subtle and leaky. "The sound of tea smoke is loud, the words are correct and round, and there is no fear at all.

The queen's black face was rare and her lips were pale.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Empress, what else do you want to quibble?" ”

The queen's lips trembled, and Lan Zhou's advice came out of her mind, as long as she bit herself to death, she would be wronged, and the emperor and the queen mother would not take her. After all, behind her is the He family, but the old ministers of the Manchu Dynasty hold each other.

The queen knelt on the ground: "The concubine just told him to protect the princess secretly, but he didn't expect him to kill the princess with evil intentions, which was also unpredictable by the concubine." ”
