Chapter Eighty-Five: The First Entry into the Ravine and the Ravine 2
The emperor walked very fast, and met the queen who came out at the door of the dormitory. The emperor looked past the queen and looked into the bedroom, except for a few palace maids.
"The emperor forgives the sins, and the concubines are too late to greet them." The queen was about to kneel, but the emperor hurriedly helped her.
"How can there be so many rules for all old husbands and wives? I was also anxious to ask the queen about something. Go down, all of you. The emperor looked at the dormitory, and then said to the palace maids.
"Your Majesty, you didn't ask the eunuch to inform you when you came. The concubines also made a pot of good tea for the emperor in person. Today is the day of the concubine, the emperor, you are looking for the concubine, but there is something to say. The queen was a little flattered, and said a little questioningly.
"Queen, you did the poisoning of the Easy King." The emperor didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.
"Your Majesty, you can wronged your concubines, the king is the son of the concubine, and he is the nephew of the concubine. This palace is full of concubines' children. After King Xiaoyao was poisoned, the concubines were also investigated in many ways. Xue Yan was given to Sister Qing by her concubine to drink. Hasn't she been in good health lately? You also know what King Xiaoyao looks like, how can the palace ladies not be afraid when they see him. If you are afraid, you will make a mistake, but you will waste all the attention of this palace. As for how the King of Freedom was poisoned, the concubines don't know. "What the queen said is reasonable, which is completely consistent with the emperor's investigation. And the palace maid who got into trouble had already committed suicide after the incident. This is also a common practice in the palace, but whenever something happens to the palace maids, their families will be more or less implicated.
"It's not that you're the best, you've always been the one who knows me best. What is the day of the concubine? I don't go to fashion shows every day, I need a woman who can help me solve my problems. I was able to acquiesce in the past, and that was because it was beneficial to the country. Every one of my sons will die on the battlefield and not in the palace fight. The emperor said in a warm tone, which made the queen smell a different breath.
"The emperor's ministers and concubines are old, and they can't do a good job of solving problems for the emperor. In this 5-year election, the concubines will pay attention to adding new people to the harem. ”
"Well, that's for the best. I don't want to happen again to the last time I had a princess. You are the mother of a country, and you are a hero if you take care of my harem. I don't want you to end up as a corpse collector. Don't let me find out that you used to pretend. After the emperor beat the queen, she walked out in a better mood. Leaving the queen in a cold sweat, the emperor is a prelude to doubting that he is disgusted with himself. Okay, just get that stinky food in and slowly clean it up under your nose. What kind of princess dares to threaten the location of the palace, then there is only a dead end. The palace was calculating Baiyang, and Baiyang had already left the capital in disguise with Hu Yihu Er.
This time they didn't ride in a carriage. The three of them were dressed as ordinary people, and they were walking on the road to the ravine. It's just that Hu Yi is still Hu Yi, but Hu Er is just a shell. The three of them didn't walk fast, because Hu Er was still a little vague under his feet.
"How old are you, Lord Wang, and you are still so willful. Do you know that if you come out with you, you'll be holding Miss Ben back? Poplar muttered as he walked, listening to Hu wanting to laugh out loud. He knows too well what kind of character his prince has, who can stop him from doing what he wants to do. Not to mention, it's just that my body is a little weak now, and when I was injured in the past, I didn't just want to go.
"Actually, this king is not as weak as you think, but it's certain that you'll be held back. Listen to those female guards, you walk like flying. The King of Freedom said that his plan succeeded, but he sold the female guard directly.
"These girls are still looking for you, the prince. I was thinking about whether or not they would follow me. Poplar said half true and half false.
"Oops, how did this king sell them. Poplar, you can't live without them. It's not too young, what's the matter with always following me? Those women in the backyard of the Carefree Mansion are even less deserving of them. ”
"Yes, how did Miss Ben forget about those women in the backyard of your palace? Lord Wang, now we are a cooperative relationship. If you want Miss Ben to be your princess, there is one additional condition, that is, one couple for the rest of your life. This time Poplar was very serious.
"Poplar, this king is not an abusive person. I'm used to seeing the filth in the harem and the sadness of being a woman. The king would never let his women live in that quagmire. The King of Freedom said categorically, only to hear Hu Yi's heart. It turns out that the prince hasn't caught up with Miss Bai yet, and said that for a long time, people are just cooperating with the prince. Let's just say, with Miss Bai's wisdom and appearance, how could she agree to marry casually. My brothers have to help the prince with their efforts, and if Miss Bai doesn't become her own princess, that's absolutely not good.
"Hu Yi, what are you thinking about? Dare to turn her elbow outward, Miss Ben is not polite. We can't go at this pace, you take him with you. ”
"Yes, master. Hu Yi promised not to drag his master back. ”
"What are you doing? Is this king a weak chicken? Together, you may not be able to catch up with this king. The King of Joy said that the long-legged man was like an arrow shot out. Seeing the poplar, I couldn't help but admire it in my heart. If he hadn't been poisoned and injured, what would have happened to Kung Fu? Poplar thought without hesitation, and drew a strange circle on the ground with his feet, and the man chased after him as if he were flying. In the end, only Hu Yi tried his best, and there was still such a big distance from the two people in front of him.
"God is right, it's not that a family doesn't enter the door, the prince and the princess are like wings. It's a pain for us guards. Hu Yi complained in his heart, and he didn't dare to slack off at all.
The road became more and more desolate, and there was not a single figure on the road. When I first left the capital, I could occasionally see groups of flowers called flowers. But the complexion of clothing is definitely a fairly good life. Maybe that's what they're talking about, not just Hanako. Poplar couldn't help but think coldly in his heart. The emperor of Yan is really a wonderful person, and he wants to set up a memorial arch when he does it.
I got closer and closer to the ravine, but I found that a fence had been fenced outside the ravine. There were also several tents outside the fence, surrounded by thick quilts.
"Lord Wang, your father wants to starve them all to death in the ravine."
"Hey, I wasn't so serious in the last election. It's all fenced off. Hu Yi gasped and caught up with the two of them, hiding behind a big tree and said.
"Hu Yi, how do you know that you weren't surrounded last time? Do you know how many people died in the ravine five years ago? Poplar said sadly and indignantly in her heart, the moment she saw the fence, she had a lot of memories in her mind. 5 years ago, he and a group of people named Hanako were also driven into the ravine. At that time, there was still the old woman by his side to take care of him. Tell the flowers to dig grass roots and peel tree bark in the ravines, and occasionally hunt some small animals, and wait for the spring flowers to bloom after the five-year general election. The number of people who came out of the ravines was less than thirty percent of the original. The old woman also fell ill after that time and later disappeared. When I thought of my mother-in-law Baiyang, I remembered that once, Xiaorou seemed to see a person who looked very much like her mother-in-law. Everything came together, and Poplar really forgot about it. After all, my mother-in-law is the one who has taken care of herself for a few years, and I really want to look there again when I have time.
"Master, Hu Yi really hasn't been here yet. Could it be that in every five-year general election, these Hanako have been frozen and starved to death like this, and many people have died? ”
"Hu Yi, aren't you talking nonsense? The king's emperor father is the best at whitewashing the peace. And these things are all done by the crown prince, how could he allow the real Huazi to lose the face of the Great Yan Kingdom. It is not the business of the imperial court to be able to freeze and starve to death. The court encouraged those who were able to give as much as possible to those who begged for food. The King said mockingly.
"Miss Ben understands. Why are those begging for food willing to collect intelligence for the government, but it is just a few meals and a few old clothes. Why don't you want to change your life with your own hands. ”
"Master, we are here to help them. But how did this pass? And how to bring them out? Hu Yi looked at Bai Yang and said.
"Let's be a little later. Miss Ben can't go home empty-handed. Those who are supposed to be princes, Miss Ben will collect some interest from them. If they want to keep it, they can guard an empty ravine. Poplar said confidently.
"Poplar, are we going to wait until it gets dark?"
"When it gets dark, we'll have to go back tomorrow. Miss Ben was waiting for the wind to change and told them all to sleep. ”
"Master, even if the wind direction changes, they may not all come out."
"Lord Wang, Hu Yi, Miss Ben has a way to tell them all to come out, do you two believe it?"
Faith, the master can do what he says. Hu Yi said firmly, but King Xiaoyao had a skeptical expression.
Poplar didn't talk nonsense anymore and pulled out a whistle from his bosom, shaped like a bamboo pipe. Again, she found it in space. When it was discovered, it was accompanied by a description that this was a beast control whistle. She also experimented in the space once, but summoned some flying birds.
Poplar noticed the change in the direction of the wind, and after a while he put the whistle to his mouth and blew it, but it did not make any sound. The expression of the King of Freedom was even more suspicious, and he was about to complain a few words. But he heard the howl of wild beasts in the ravine.
"What's the situation?" King Xiaoyao and Hu Yi were puzzled together.
