Chapter 211: Whose Family Is the Blessing and Misfortune 2
It is a matter of life and death for the queen's mother. I went out to run errands and deliver letters, and I came back soon. But it's all disappointing news.
"Your Majesty, King Xiaoyao and Princess Xiaoyao have left the capital. The housekeeper in the palace said that the young couple had gone out to play. The eunuch who delivered the letter came back and said.
"What? This is the time to go out and have fun. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The old housekeeper of the Xiaoyao Mansion said that in two days, the people of the small country would leave the Great Yan Kingdom, and the calendar of the Great Yan Kingdom was about to arrive. The prince went to inspect what was going on on the way out of the small vassal country, and the princess went out to make a calendar gift for the emperor and queen. Originally, they had just left when the slaves went, but the prince and the princess both had kung fu. The servants chased out of the city gate, but only saw the carriage of the palace, and the prince and princess tried their feet. The eunuch who delivered the letter replied with a sharp voice.
"Providence, this is Providence." The emperor muttered in his heart. King Xiaoyao This is to monitor the departure of the small vassal country, and this emperor thought of it at once. It's still this son who is thinking about the affairs of Dayan Kingdom. It's normal for Princess Xiaoyao to go with her, after all, the young couple is newly married Yan'er. Alas! Queen, there's nothing I can do.
The person who went to the cold palace to look for the drug concubine also returned, and he brought back disappointing news.
"Your Majesty, there are four or five connected courtyards where the wild grass grows most luxuriantly in the cold palace. There were people living in every courtyard, but none of them were the woman. ”
"Impossible. I knew that she had not left the palace, and that she was still using flowers and plants to develop poisons in the palace. In the past, when the poisonous guard was alive, she also said that she was cultivating a poisonous weed that was rare in the world, and she would not leave the cold palace. ”
"Are the four or five people living in the courtyard all good-looking, and have they been disfigured?" The emperor asked again without giving up.
"Back to the emperor, there are two concubines, and three palace maids who were eliminated in the five-year election. The heads are not very bright, sloppy and not disfigured. "A couple of people from the drug-making team reciprocated.
"Go back. Queen, you are also destined to be like this, and there is no one who can save your life. Come, try to catch up with the King and Princess Xiaoyao along the official road, and bring them to the palace immediately. "The emperor instructed the eunuchs outside. Then he spoke to the void.
"Prepare, after dark, protect me and go to the cold palace. Time flies, and it is possible that she healed her face. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The subordinates will go and prepare. The Dark Guard in the Void replied.
King Xiaoyao and Poplar did not leave the capital far, they went to the valley. If it weren't for the fact that things had come together recently, Poplar would have wanted to come over and take a good look.
"Yang'er, as long as you guard the mountain pass, this is really a good place. It's called Hanako's complicated background, we really have to screen and screen well, and some of them are sent here for training. Some stayed in the city to find out the news. The King and Poplar walked in the ravine, talking as they went.
"Yes, those who are useless are still left in the capital to give the powerful the opportunity to give kindness. After the calendar, the information shops in the inner city will also be opened. Poplar saw the snow-covered graves and talked about the arrangements after the calendar.
"Yang'er, do you still sell dim sum?"
"Nope. The audience of dim sum is all marginal people, and the accuracy of the information obtained is not high. Princess Ben wanted to create a place of relaxation for people with power and wealth. ”
"A leisure place, is it an inn or a restaurant?"
"Lord Wang, those are too cheesy, this princess wants to create an industry that does not exist in the Great Yan Kingdom."
"Yang'er, what kind of industry is that?"
"Lord Wang, Rong Yang'er will sell it first, and you will know when the shop opens."
"Yang Er, you are really hiding with this king, you must want to give this king a big surprise when the time comes, and this king will endure his curiosity first. The trainees were asked to build a few houses deep in the ravine, and they could also cultivate land here. ”
"Yes, I don't need much investment, I have everything to eat and live. Plant another herb field, and then build an iron shop in it, and you can also make weapons. This will be a base for us. ”
"It's still at the foot of the capital, or Yang Er's long-term thoughts, and the king sighs to himself..."The husband and wife walked away and didn't talk, and when they returned to the mountain pass, the carriage of the Xiaoyao Palace's mansion also arrived.
"Yang'er, there are still a few hours before dawn, and we should also go and see the path for the small vassal country to leave.
"That's not in a hurry, it's too late to have some supper in the carriage first. You also gather some firewood and light a bonfire to keep warm. Poplar looked at the official proposal slyly.
Outside the capital, the king and the princess are really at ease. The palace was very tense there. At nightfall, the emperor disguised himself as a guard and went to the cold palace.
The cold palace has been around for a long time, and the emperor really hasn't been here a few times. After the poisonous concubine was arranged by the queen to go to the cold palace, the emperor came several times to beg the poisonous concubine to go back. But it didn't work out once. More than ten years have passed, and the contact with the drug concubine is all based on the drug guards.
The cold palace in the night is depressed and cold. From a distance, it looks like a prone monster, and the barren grass everywhere is the bald hair on the monster's body.
"Your Majesty, when the servants come over during the day, it is the grass in these four or five courtyards that is the most dense. The minions went over and called them out. ”
Five scruffy women were driven out of the courtyard by the guards. The thin clothes could not withstand the cold, and they all shivered in the night.
"You, you are the emperor. You, you're finally here to pick up your concubine. There is nothing wrong with the concubine, but she offended the queen. A woman who looked unaware was about to pounce on her, but the guards hurriedly stopped her.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid is the one who was eliminated in the last five-year election. It's been another five years, and the slave and maid are living in a cold palace in the dark. I have forgotten the past, so I beg the emperor to show mercy and let the slaves and maids out. A young woman knelt down and begged the emperor. Then two more women knelt down.
"Your Majesty, the slave has figured out everything now. Five years of good youth are wasted in the cold palace, and the emperor will let us out. From now on, the Green Lantern Scroll will be our place to live. ”
Looking at the three women who were no longer in their prime, the old emperor was slightly moved. The five-year election seems fair and just, but in fact, how many shady deals are there? Only the royal family knows about it. If there is no five-year election, he and the queen will not poison each other and lose both. If the queen is gone, I am afraid that the king of freedom will be dominant. Sooner or later, the country of Dayan will be handed over to his son. The emperor just felt unwilling, and he hadn't done enough of that dragon chair. Thinking of these, the emperor had an idea.
Five times since he ascended the throne in the five-year election. There are few real concubines among the women in the cold palace, and most of them are eliminated ladies. Some of them spied on the inside story of the election, and some were unruly and disobeyed the royal arrangement. In fact, they are all innocent little girls, rather than dying of old age in this cold palace, it is better to ask them to accompany the queen. The imperial doctors could not diagnose the cause, but the emperor knew that the queen's time was numbered.
It doesn't matter if someone goes to chase after the princess, or if you come to the cold palace to find the poisonous concubine. It's all for others to see, and it also accumulates some yin virtue for yourself. Thinking of these emperors, I was also a little sad.
"I didn't know that you all came to the cold palace, and I thought that you stayed in the palace and became a palace maid, or that you had already returned to your family. Rong Zhen went back to check it out, and you don't have to spend the rest of your life in the Green Lantern Ancient Scroll. Five years have passed, and I will arrange a good place for you to go. Have you been living in this yard all along? ”
"Back to the emperor, the concubine turned out to be a concubine, and she also told a big truth, which provoked the queen mother, and was thrown into the cold palace. The concubine didn't live here, and I heard that there was an ugly woman living here. This time, during the knockout round of the five-year election, the ugly woman said that she didn't want to go back to this place when she went out to watch the excitement. So she called her concubine to come and show her the grass in the yard. Just wait for spring to water the grass. ”
"Any idea where she's going?" One of the guards asked.
She said she had gone out to look for the child, and muttered that her apprentice was dead. The Miss Elimination knelt on the ground and said.
"What kid? Whose children? The emperor blurted out a question. None of the five people kneeling on the ground answered, except for Miss Elimination who spoke just now, those four people didn't even know whether the ugly woman was a concubine or Miss Elimination.
"Your Majesty." A guard couldn't think of what else to ask and looked at the emperor.
"Go back, even if you've made mistakes. I have also learned a lesson, and I will arrange for you well. After the emperor finished speaking, he turned his head and left. What the young lady said just now was too informative. Back then, he forced her while the poison was refining poison, causing her to go mad and recuperate in her own dormitory until she could stand up without saying goodbye.
It was almost two years later that he realized that she had not left the palace, but she also hated herself. If she has children, it must be her own. This matter is not known to others, and the queen must be clear.
The emperor thought in his heart and walked towards Fengyi Palace with his feet. He wanted to ask the queen face to face what was going on with the child? People who don't know what is going on still think that the emperor and the queen are in deep love.
The King and Princess had eaten some dry food in the carriage, and the guards who followed them lit a bonfire. After this delay, the day was about to dawn, and Bai Yang asked the carriage to run towards the small county town.
As a result, he was caught up by the guards in the palace before he entered the county seat.
"King Xiaoyao, Princess Xiaoyao, please stay. The emperor decreed that the prince and the princess would enter the palace immediately. Behind the carriage on the official road, a few guards and eunuchs shouted loudly.
