352 East Window Incident (1st Shift)
The old marquis's movements were too fast, and Concubine Jing didn't have time to react at all, and the person was taken to the door.
Of course, the main thing is that she didn't expect the old marquis to do this all of a sudden, and she herself is out of the situation.
The one who is more out of condition than her is the emperor.
The emperor looked at the old marquis dressed in night clothes, and then looked at the old marquis's hand holding Concubine Jing's wrist, and his brain exploded at that time!
All he heard was a buzz, and then his whole mind went blank!
The excitement of this scene in front of him was so great that he lost his voice!
The old marquis paused.
He obviously didn't expect to run into the emperor, obviously when he passed by the imperial study, he saw that the light inside was still on, he thought that the emperor would approve the fold for a long time.
Concubine Jing was the first to react, and she withdrew her hand suddenly.
The old marquis subconsciously grabbed her hand back, and only after catching it did he realize that something was wrong, but unfortunately the disaster had been caused.
The emperor was furious, and thunder was angry: "Gu Chao! β
The old marquis's body shook and let go of Concubine Jing's hand.
Shocked by the emperor's loud shout, it was Mama Cai who went to Gongfang.
Mama Cai saw Concubine Jing and the old marquis inside the threshold, and saw the emperor with an angry face outside the threshold, what else did she not understand?
She secretly scolded for making evil, how could she poke out such a big basket after just walking away for a short while!
Knowing this, she just held back!
The emperor clenched his fists tightly, and almost with all his strength he suppressed the urge to behead the old marquis without giving an order, and he squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Gu Chao!" What's going on? You'd better explain it to me! β
If the old sacrificial wine is here, there will be countless rhetoric to round this matter in the past, the emperor believes it or not, in short, he can't admit it, and he must bite the "minister and the concubine are pure monarch and minister relations" Yunyun!
It's just that the old marquis is not such a character, he uses soldiers on the battlefield like a god, surprisingly cunning, and never tires of deceit, and his brain seems to stay there on the battlefield.
In private, he is a person who leads to the end with one intestine, and he does not have the cunning and shamelessness of the old sacrificial wine at all.
The emperor didn't catch him, so he didn't have to explain to the emperor, but the emperor ran into him, and there was no point in quibbling.
He threw himself to his knees, and the floor almost cracked.
"Your Majesty!" He raised his head and said bitterly, "The minister is guilty! β
Mama Cai saw the stitches, pointed her finger at his nose and said, "Of course you are guilty!" As a courtier of His Majesty, Your Majesty trusts you so much, but you sneaked into the palace in the middle of the night to kidnap the concubine! β
Admit it, admit it, old marquis, quickly carry the black pot on your back, don't bother the mother!
Behind the big tree not far away, an inconspicuous little eunuch quietly retreated, ran all the way to Renshou Palace, and reported the movements of Huaqing Palace to Duke Qin.
Ouch, it's lively and don't look at the bastard!
Gonggong Qin happily went to report to the Empress Dowager Zhuang.
"What's there to see about this?" Empress Dowager Zhuang was not interested in Concubine Jing's affair.
But Grandpa Qin wants to see it!
Heart-scratching!
Father-in-law Qin said bitterly: "Look at a lot of meat, you have been acting with Your Majesty for so long, and it is time to see results!" Sooner you have stepped on her, won't you have to act again?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang thought it was feasible, put down the fold in her hand and went to Huaqing Palace.
The atmosphere of Huaqing Palace was so solemn that everyone was out of breath, and the palace people knelt on the ground with hula la, trembling!
"The Queen Mother has arrivedβ"
With the spread of Gonggong Qin, everyone's bodies fell lower.
Concubine Jing and Mama Cai glanced at this side in unison, Empress Dowager Zhuang was wearing a gorgeous and expensive phoenix robe, embroidered with a phoenix with wings on the robe and wide sleeves, and walked slowly in the dark night, which inexplicably gave people a kind of pressure from the judge.
The old marquis and the emperor confronted each other silently, and did not look at the Empress Dowager Zhuang, but even so, the two still felt the aura from her.
Gonggong Wei saluted the Empress Dowager Zhuang.
Empress Dowager Zhuang walked up the steps, glanced at everyone, and asked lightly: "Yo, it's so late, Huaqing Palace is still so lively, even Old Marquis Gu is here." Why is the old marquis kneeling? He also knelt in Mrs. Jing'an's meditation room. β
At the mention of this, the emperor remembered that Gu Chao, the old thing, was kneeling in a different place, he bit his dragon teeth, and said, "Get out of here and kneel!" β
The old marquis knelt in the courtyard.
Empress Dowager Zhuang asked slowly, "What's wrong?" Your Majesty wants to punish him for kneeling? β
Mama Cai hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother doesn't know, the old marquis sneaked into the palace in the middle of the night and kidnapped the concubine, if His Majesty hadn't arrived in time, the concubine Niangniang might have encountered an accident." β
Empress Dowager Zhuang raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Hijacking the concubine? The mourning family remembers that there is a dragon shadow guard left by the first emperor in Huaqing Palace, are all the dragon shadow guards dead? Still waiting for His Majesty to rescue the concubine? β
As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face changed!
He was so angry that he had forgotten that he had sent Long Yingwei to Concubine Jing.
Yes, with the Dragon Shadow Guard, how was Gu Chao able to get close to Concubine Jing?
It can't be that Long Yingwei has led people away again!
Even if it is led away for a short time, he has been here for so long, and the Dragon Shadow Guard should turn back.
Long Yingwei didn't appear from beginning to end, so there was only one possibility: Concubine Jing asked them to step down!
Therefore, it was not Gu Chao who hijacked Concubine Jing!
It's the two of them...... The two of them......
The emperor forced himself not to think about those two words, but they were shocked by Gonggong Qin: "Ah! In the middle of the night, Mrs. Jing'an wouldn't want to escape from the palace with the old marquis, right? β
Wei Gong said fairly: "Yes, yes! You're not really trying to get out of the palace, are you? β
Mama Cai was going crazy, she glared at Grandpa Wei fiercely, which side are you!
Father-in-law Wei covered his mouth, oops, his mouth was scooped.
"Father-in-law Qin! Be careful! "Mama Cai drinks hard!
But what's the use of her louder? It's just a bluff.
The facts are in front of you, and no amount of quibbling can make up for the fact that Long Yingwei didn't make a move.
Concubine Jing looked at the Empress Dowager Zhuang outside the threshold through the dark night.
Empress Dowager Zhuang doesn't even have an heir, but she can still stand in the harem for many years, how can it just be luck?
It's not that she doesn't know those tricks, it's just that there are some things she doesn't bother to fight for.
And this seems to have given some people the illusion that she is nothing more than that, and she can't do anything except blindly carry the black pot and blindly chill her heart.
Zhuang Jinse is proud.
The proud Zhuang Jinse will not come to see the excitement of Concubine Jing, let alone fall into the trap of Concubine Jing.
She was dismissive.
Zhuang Jinse has changed.
She was still proud, but there was something more than pride.
Concubine Jing clenched the string of Buddhist beads in her hand.
Empress Dowager Zhuang smiled coldly: "Over the years, the mourning family has asked you several times if you want to come back, but you said no, you stayed in the nunnery very well, and the mourning family thought you were polite." β
As she spoke, she glanced at the old marquis meaningfully, "It turned out to be true." β
Empress Dowager Zhuang clicked to the end, and left with Gonggong Qin after speaking.
Mama Cai was anxious: "Queen Mother!" You can't talk nonsense! When did you ask the concubine if she wanted to go back to the palace! β
Has Empress Dowager Zhuang asked?
Of course not.
But.
Are they the only ones who are allowed to button her hats?
In this situation, the time and place are favorable, the old lady is going to trap you!
The Empress Dowager Zhuang, who bent her waist for five candied fruits, is so domineering!
Men always mind this kind of thing, because they mind, so suspicious, Empress Dowager Zhuang's words undoubtedly became the last straw that bent the camel.
Mama Cai knelt down and pleaded bitterly: "Your Majesty! Don't listen to the Queen Mother's nonsense! The concubine and the old marquis Gu are innocent! The concubine has never said anything like that to the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother never sent someone to the nunnery to invite the concubine back to the palace! The concubine is your mother! You have to believe her! Your Majesty! You must believe the concubineβ"
The emperor's heart hurts.
It hurts more than when he learned that the old sacrificial wine had made him a father.
Maybe it's because he subconsciously understands that the old sacrificial wine and the Empress Dowager Zhuang can't be real, and a woman like the Empress Dowager Zhuang doesn't need any man.
She's too strong, and she's too strong.
However, his concubine Jing was weak and helpless, and Gu Chao saved her life again.
When he hesitated to agree to Gu Chao's request for marriage, it was she who spoke for Gu Chao.
Will...... Could it be that she ...... in her heart Is there really a Gu Chao?
He looked at Concubine Jing hurtfully, and said with red eyes: "If it wasn't for me who happened to be touched, wouldn't the concubine be ...... Already gone with him? β
At this moment, he finally understood where his sadness was.
Even if Empress Dowager Zhuang really has a man, she will not give up the country and power.
She is still the high-ranking Empress Dowager Zhuang, and she is still his mother, no matter how much he hates her, dislikes her, and hates her, he can never get rid of her.
Concubine Jing just wanted to abandon him.
She doesn't want him anymore, she doesn't want her own son anymore.
The Emperor's throat ached.
He turned around and held back the tears in his eyes: "...... Let's go. β
