335 Pit Her (Two Watches)

Everyone, including the emperor, was stunned by the scene in front of them.

Concubine Jing, who was sick one second ago and could fall at any time when the wind blew, caught a dart that shot her with her bare hands the next second.

This, this, this, this is too exciting!

The crowd was so shocked that no one spoke for a long time.

It stands to reason that a hidden weapon was shot out of the box that Xuanping Hou personally gave to Concubine Jing, and Xuan Pinghou should be punished on the spot for the crime of assassinating the concubine, but the matter of Concubine Jing catching darts with her bare hands is too subversive of everyone's cognition, and no one even thinks of Xuanping Hou at all.

Okay, Xuan Pinghou didn't even think of himself.

"Mother, Mother, Mother, ......"

The Emperor was stunned.

Concubine Jing came back to her senses in an instant, her body shook, her fingers loosened, and the dart fell to the bright floor, making a thud.

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and their eyes widened in unison.

Mama Cai's eyes moved, and she snapped the box in Concubine Jing's hand: "Boldly Xuan Pinghou!" Dare to assassinate the concubine in Huaqing Palace! Fortunately, after the concubine Niangniang was the gate, she had learned a little skill from the old uncle before entering the palace, otherwise this would have allowed you to succeed! ”

Old uncle, the father of Concubine Jing, after Concubine Jing was canonized as a concubine, her maternal family also rose, and her father was established as Yongenbo and awarded the four-rank mighty general.

Before that, Yongenbo was only a six-rank lieutenant.

It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that after the door, but once a person is prosperous, her past can also be polished and beautified, and history can be forgotten.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, after Mama Cai's door, Concubine Jing deserved it.

Concubine Zhuang pursed her lips, she was one of the few who scoffed.

Her aunt is a scholar, and Concubine Jing is known as the queen of Jiangmen, known in the world, one scholar and one martial artist, and Zhaodu Shuangshu.

Is she also worthy of being called a double aunt with her aunt?

Concubine Zhuang touched the tip of her nose with a handkerchief, and said with a light smile: "After so many years, Concubine Niangniang's skills have really not changed at all, and she is so agile." ”

"This ......," Mama Cai opened her mouth.

Concubine Jing said with a smile: "If you neglect to practice in the palace, you will be slack, and then you will move to the nunnery, and if you have nothing to do, you will practice and pass the time." Ahem......"

She said, hiding her face and coughing, "But I'm sick these days, and I can't practice." ”

The emperor was stunned and said, "Once upon a time...... I haven't heard the mother mention it. ”

They had a very difficult time in the palace.

That was after Empress Dowager Zhuang was beaten into the cold palace, the three of them lost their protection, and they didn't know how much they were bullied.

He remembered that once, Zhaoyi, who was under the concubine of his mother, actually committed a murder of a dog and pounced on Ning An beside his concubine.

The mother concubine blocked Ning An with her body, and was bitten all over her body, and Ning An was also slightly injured.

"The mother concubine is good at martial arts, why did she ...... back then" The emperor said to his lips, and suddenly realized that he didn't trust Concubine Jing enough to ask such a question.

Concubine Jing smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty wants to ask me about Ning An being chased and bitten by Mu Zhaoyi's dog back then?" Mu Zhaoyi is Liu Guifei's person, I can hide once, I can't hide for a lifetime, what Liu Guifei wants is that I am injured, if I don't hurt her, how will she give up? It's just that Ning An suffered and was slightly injured. It's good to let Liu Guifei breathe that way, otherwise the situation of our mother and son will be even worse. ”

Mama Cai said in a timely manner: "The concubine injured her leg at that time. Niangniang didn't want Princess Ning'an and Her Majesty to worry, so she kept it a secret. After that, whenever it was rainy, Niangniang's leg hurt like a pinprick. And in the past few years, it has become more and more serious, and even on a sunny day, there are occasional illnesses. That's why Niang Niang always falls down from time to time. ”

People who practice martial arts do not mean that they will not be injured, for example, Xuanping Hou left a back wound on the battlefield.

The emperor's eyes dissipated with suspicion, and he stepped forward guiltily: "It's me who blames the concubine." ”

He held Concubine Jing's hand, and gently patted her back with the other hand, soothing her.

The emperor, who was still in favor of Concubine Zhuang just now, glared at Concubine Zhuang coldly.

Concubine Zhuang knew that she was speechless, lowered her hand holding the handkerchief, and saluted: "Concubine...... What Fang Cai means is that fortunately, the concubine Niangniang did not neglect to practice martial arts, otherwise I am afraid that something bad will happen today. ”

Heh, practicing martial arts? Why haven't you heard of it before?

Mama Cai served a cup of hot tea.

"I'm coming!" The emperor took the tea and fed it to Concubine Jing personally, and Concubine Jing's expression eased slightly, and the emperor finally turned his attention back to Xuanping Hou.

He said coldly: "Xuan Pinghou, what the hell is going on!" ”

Xuanping Hou was extremely wronged, and he also wanted to know what was going on! Damn old wine jar, pit him for fun, isn't it!

He said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, this brocade box is given to the minister by Huo Sacrifice Wine, and the minister has never opened it, but I don't know that it contains a hidden weapon." ”

He is a hooligan and a ruffian, but he is not a gentleman on the beam, and he will steal incense and jade to spy on people's privacy.

Of course, the main reason is that he didn't expect the old sacrificial wine to cheat him like this!

Why?

The emperor said with a cold expression: "Pass Huo Xian!" ”

"Yes!" Father-in-law Wei should go down.

Gonggong Wei immediately sent the little eunuch to Guozijian and called the old sacrificial wine to Huaqing Palace.

Empress Xiao and Concubine Zhuang also stayed here, waiting for the outcome of the emperor's trial.

The old sacrificial wine calmly and calmly entered the Qiuhua Pavilion in the side hall of Huaqing Palace, his eyes swept over everyone, and he seemed to be a little surprised to see so many people, he bowed his hand: "Minister, knock to see Your Majesty, knock to see the queen, knock to see the concubine Niangniang, Guifei Niangniang." ”

The box and the dart had been picked up by the palace people and placed on the table next to the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand impatiently: "The false courtesy is waived, I didn't come to you to see you say goodbye!" ”

The old sacrificial wine secretly raised his eyebrows, and His Majesty was very angry.

The emperor casually picked up the box on the table and coldly threw it on the ground in front of the old sacrificial wine: "What is this!" You know it! ”

The box fell to the ground and smashed open, and the bright dart inside rolled out, just at the feet of the old priest.

The old sacrificial wine squatted down and picked up the box and darts together, revealing a bit of oddity.

"What? You don't recognize? When the emperor said this, he glanced at Xuanping Hou deeply.

Xuanping Hou said to the old priest wine: "The surname Huo, don't pretend to be stupid, this box was handed over to me by you last night, let me transfer it to the concubine for you." ”

It is taboo for courtiers and concubines to give and receive each other privately, but the old sacrificial wine is too clear, which makes people doubt his intentions.

The old sacrificial wine said with an innocent face: "That's right, I handed over the box to you, what about the contents of the box?" ”

The Emperor said coldly: "This dart is the thing in the box!" ”

The old sacrificial wine looked at the emperor with a bewildered expression: "How come?" I put twenty taels of silver in it! He looked at Concubine Jing, "Concubine Niangniang still remembers that many years ago, Weichen went to the temple to offer incense, when there were too many pilgrims, mixed in with thieves, and the minister's silver was stolen." You happened to be passing by nearby, and after asking the reason, you borrowed ten taels of silver from the minister. The minister had promised that he would pay back twice as much one day! ”

It's been a long time since this incident, and it's not the old sacrificial wine that has been brought up again, and Concubine Jing is almost about to forget it, she tried to recall it, and asked uncertainly: "Didn't you say at that time that I would buy your couplet?" I will not lend you any money. ”

The old sacrificial wine said solemnly: "Niang Niang is to solve my urgent needs, and I am afraid that my self-esteem will be damaged, so I will say that I will buy a couplet written by me." But as I said, he must pay back the money one day. ”

Later, Concubine Jing didn't have much of an impression.

After all, who would keep an account for years for ten taels of silver?

The emperor asked suspiciously: "If you don't pay it back sooner or later, why don't you pay it back now?" ”

The old sacrificial wine laughed dryly, and said with some embarrassment: "To be honest...... Lao Chen...... The old minister forgot about himself...... It was only recently that I heard the news of Concubine Jing's return to the palace, and the old minister suddenly remembered such an old account. ”

Heaven and earth, Concubine Jing really gave him silver.

And he did say that he would pay it back twice, but Concubine Jing didn't agree at the time, only said, you might as well write a Spring Festival couplet to me, and it will be regarded as if I bought your Spring Festival couplet.

But after so many years, he insisted on paying back the silver after he insisted on it, and Concubine Jing estimated that she couldn't remember it clearly.

Remember not to be afraid, people's memory will go wrong.

He said he remembered it that way!

Fortunately, Concubine Jing and the emperor did not hold on to the details of the silver, but talked about the brocade box again.

The emperor said: "What you gave was silver, but Marquis Xuanping took it today and it became a dart, and he almost injured Concubine Jing by mistake." ”

"What?" The old sacrificial wine was dumbfounded and panicked, and he knelt down, "Your Majesty Mingjian!" Lao Chen did put silver! The old minister doesn't know why the silver has become a secret weapon! God can swear to God! ”

Xuanping Hou gritted his teeth.

Perform!

You give Lao Tzu a follow-up act!

Concubine Zhuang said with a smile: "Huo Xianjiu swears so much, it really wasn't he who put it, but after him, it seems that only Xuanping Hou has touched the box in private." ”

"Concubine Zhuang!" Empress Xiao shouted at her.

Concubine Zhuang smiled: "The concubine does not mean to slander the Marquis of Xuanping, the fact that the concubine analyzed. ”

Xuanping Hou said: "After the minister got the box yesterday, he didn't open it privately, he kept it on his body, and after returning to the house, he put it in the minister's room, and the only people who could enter the minister's room were the minister and the guard Chang Jing." Chang Jing never touched the box. ”

Chang Jing was not interested in such boxy things.

He didn't bother to show him.

Empress Xiao stood up, stood beside her brother, saluted the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Xuanping is loyal to you, and he also respects Concubine Jing, he will never frame Concubine Jing!" Especially...... Isn't it stupid to use what he handed over with his own hands in front of so many people? ”

Concubine Zhuang smiled lightly and said, "Maybe someone has taken advantage of this idea to make the impossible possible, so that they can escape suspicion." ”

Empress Xiao's eyes lit up: "This palace is talking to Your Majesty, where is your turn to intervene as a concubine!" ”

In the past, Empress Xiao didn't use her identity to pressure Concubine Zhuang Guifei, after all, Concubine Zhuang had the support of the Queen Mother, and her real power was not small, so she would say this when she was in a hurry today.

Concubine Zhuang snorted coldly.

The emperor looked at Xuanping Hou with a heavy face: "Has anyone ever sneaked into your house?" ”

The Marquis of Xuanping met the emperor's sharp gaze calmly: "Your Majesty, the minister dare not say that the entire Marquis of Xuanping is solid, but the minister's house is guarded by Chang Jing, and the minister is also resting in it. ”

The Emperor pondered, "The Chang Jing you said is the killer who brought back from the Night Gate?" ”

Xuanping Hou said: "That's right. ”

The Night Gate is a force outside of the Six Kingdoms, not affiliated with any one country, and has its headquarters on an island.

The killers of the Night Gate are all first-class masters.

What's more, what Xuan Pinghou said is right, he himself is also one of the best masters.

The old priest muttered, "What if it is your hand that moves while you are asleep?" ”

Xuan Pinghou looked at him and said, "Do you know that there are no more than five people who can win against Chang Jing in Zhaoguo. One is Tang Yueshan, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, one is the old marquis Gu of the Ding'an Marquis's mansion, and the other three are the dragon shadow guards left by the first emperor to His Majesty. I say three because I've only seen three, and I don't know if there are more. ”

The old sacrificial wine said seriously: "So there are still people who can commit crimes!" ”

Xuanping Hou said lightly: "Tang Yueshan followed King Ning to suppress bandits as early as the beginning of this month, and he has not returned yet, and no one else is in the capital, how can he commit a crime in my mansion?" ”

The old priest said, "That...... What about Old Marquis Gu? ”

Xuanping Hou squinted his eyes: "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid with the surname Huo?" ”

The old marquis is the emperor's confidant, no one in the world knows about this, Huo Xian, an old thing, is deeply trusted by the emperor, how can he not know?

Will he harm Concubine Jing?

Does he know about the existence of this box?

Empress Xiao knew about the old marquis silently training for His Majesty, and she also believed that the old marquis had nothing to do with this matter.

Concubine Zhuang Guifei is the Queen Mother's person, but the Queen Mother is well-informed, how can she not know that the old marquis and His Majesty are only on the surface?

She sneered: "According to this, this is not this, that is not either, is it the Dragon Shadow Guard of the First Emperor?" Marquis Xuanping, why don't you say that Your Majesty wants to murder your own concubine? ”

Concubine Zhuang didn't know that the emperor had already given Long Yingwei to Concubine Jing.

So even if it was done by Long Yingwei, it was not that the emperor wanted to harm Concubine Jing, but that Concubine Jing harmed herself.

Why did Concubine Kejing harm herself? Is it a bitter ploy? For what?

Is it to frame Xuanping Hou, or is it to frame the old sacrificial wine?

The emperor felt that aside from the concubine's simplicity and kindness, she had no reason to do this at all - Xuanping Marquis and the old sacrificial wine were his confidants, how could the concubine break his arm?

The emperor looked at Xuanping Hou coldly: "This matter will be handed over to you to investigate, and you must find out for me!" If I can't find out, I'll assume you're the one who did it! ”

Xuanping Hou: "......"

Out of the palace, Xuanping Marquis almost couldn't help but press the old sacrificial wine on the ground to wipe the floor: "The surname Huo, you have grown up, and you have been harmed by this marquis!" ”

"What did Xuanping Hou say, I really don't know why silver turned into darts!" The old sacrificial wine refused to admit it.

The first green tea in Zhaoguo, the acting skills are proper!

Xuanping Hou gritted his teeth and said: "For the sake of you being Teacher Ah Heng, Ben Hou will not kill you first, but if Ben Hou finds evidence, His Majesty will not kill you, and Ben Hou will personally kill you!" ”

The old sacrificial wine arched his hand: "Congratulations to the Hou Ye!" ”

"Humph!" Xuanping Hou brushed his sleeves and left!

When the people walked away, the old sacrificial wine breathed a sigh of relief.

He came to his carriage and stepped on a footstool to get into it.

In the car, Gu Changqing and Gu Jiao had been waiting for a long time.

"Huo Xijiu, what's wrong?" Gu Changqing asked.

The old sacrificial wine smiled: "Smooth!" And it was a little unexpected, trying out that Concubine Jing would be able to do martial arts. ”

He actually didn't see Concubine Jing catching the dart with her bare hands, but asked Gonggong Wei when she came out.

He originally thought that it would be the death of the first emperor.

It can be seen that people can't hide themselves at the moment of life and death.

Gu Jiao sighed and said, "Her pulse is so weak, she really doesn't look like a person who practices martial arts." ”

Gu Changqing thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's that you took some medicine to change your pulse." ”

"Well, it's possible." Gu Jiao nodded, her eyes suddenly became shining, "Then can you ...... next?"

"No, you can't!" The old sacrificial wine ruthlessly took her sack.

"Your Majesty is suspicious of her?" Gu Changqing asked.

The old sacrificial wine took a sip of tea, and said with a wicked smile: "Not so fast, but this seed of doubt is planted, as long as it comes a few more times, the seed will sprout in the bottom of His Majesty's heart, thrive, and bloom into a flower of disobedience!" ”

Gu Changqing: Uh...... What do you look like...... It's really like a traitor......

It's so early to limit the exemption, right?

Tomorrow will be the most important update.
