Chapter 369: Response
Empress Pei walked out of Changle Palace with a calm face.
It was getting dark and the light was dim. Only those who are particularly close can catch a glimpse of Queen Pei's stiff expression and strange anger in her eyes.
Cheng Jinrong frowned, thought for a moment, and lowered his voice: "Niangniang plans to go to the Baohe Palace now?" ”
Empress Pei slowed down and turned her head to look at Cheng Jinrong: "Besides, is there a better way?" ”
Cheng Jinrong's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince have been in the Huangzhuang before, and they don't know the situation in the palace. What Her Royal Highness the Princess has done, it is not surprising that the mother does not know. ”
"Somebody knows about it. If you have to take care of someone who doesn't take care of you, you shouldn't be a mother. ”
Empress Pei paused, and deep thought flashed in her eyes.
The meaning of Cheng Jinrong's words is very clear. In this matter, as the queen and the "mother" of Princess Shouning, she can't stand by and do nothing. However, there is no need to take full responsibility.
To put it simply, you have to find someone to bear the anger of Emperor Xuanhe.
As for who this black cauldron is going to throw off, don't think about it. Concubine Zheng, who is in charge of palace affairs, is a ready-made candidate.
Cheng Jinrong approached slightly, and his low voice came into Queen Pei's ears little by little: "Her Royal Highness the princess and Her Royal Highness the Second Prince have a deep relationship, perhaps, Her Royal Highness the Second Prince also knows some inside information." ”
Is this to drag the second prince into the water?
Queen Pei's heart moved, and she and Cheng Jinrong looked at each other for a moment.
Emperor Xuanhe's anger is certain, the second prince is in the capital, enters the palace every day, and it is impossible to be ignorant of Princess Shouning's private actions, but he has always concealed it. There is no escape from the fault of a cover-up.
Thinking deeper, perhaps, the second prince secretly instigated Princess Shouning in order to completely win over Yuan Silan, and came up with such a "good way".
It's just that the second prince didn't expect that the Tatars would send troops to attack Dachu on a large scale. Emperor Xuanhe directly put Yuan Silan under house arrest. This move was completely wrong and became a stinky move.
Cheng Jinrong stared deeply at Queen Pei: "Niangniang think twice before acting." ”
Of course, there are some risks associated with this. However, it is not without benefits.
The second prince who has bad intentions and bad intentions in private morality is not worthy of being the prince at all. The six princes, who are also concubines, can naturally increase their weight.
Empress Pei's mind was racing, and she quickly made a decision: "What to do, this palace knows in her heart." ”
With his eyes staggered, Cheng Jinrong had already understood Queen Pei's decision, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Bad things can turn into good things if they are handled well. Regardless of anything else, let's just say Yuan Silan, this time he will definitely not be able to escape the wrath of the Son of Heaven.
……
After returning to the Baohe Palace, Empress Pei went to see Emperor Xuanhe alone.
The matter involved Princess Shouning, Cheng Jinrong was not suitable to be present, and quickly withdrew.
A familiar figure approached: "Ah Rong." ”
They all work on errands in front of the emperor, so they have such benefits. I can meet every day without talking, and I can also peep at the opportunity to get together from time to time and say a few words.
Cheng Jinrong was worried about Queen Pei, who was facing the saint alone, and he was not in the mood to gossip, so he hummed casually.
What's wrong?
He Qi's sharp gaze swirled on Cheng Jinrong's face, and his thick eyebrows raised slightly: "You went to Changle Palace with the queen mother just now?" ”
Cheng Jinrong nodded and said pointedly: "This matter has a lot to do with Princess Shouning. The emperor doesn't know how angry he will be! Come to think of it, the palace will not be peaceful again tonight! ”
He Qi's mind was keen, and several conjectures flashed through his mind in an instant. Soon, a shocking conjecture popped into my mind.
He Qi looked at Cheng Jinrong in disbelief: "How can she be so stupid!" ”
yes, that's that stupid!
Cheng Jinrong sighed a little helplessly: "Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince must not be implicated. ”
He Qi's mind spun quickly, and he spit out three words in a low voice: "Second prince!" ”
Cheng Jinrong's brows stretched slightly, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he hummed briefly.
In just a few moments, there was a strange sound in the Baohe Palace.
He Qi has been practicing martial arts all year round, and his ears and eyes are sensitive, and when he heard the sound coming from the hall, he quickly rushed to Cheng Jinrong and made a look, signaling her to stay away. Then, He Qi quickly stepped into the Baohe Temple.
……
Emperor Xuanhe was indeed furious.
He Qi stepped into the hall and saw that the fold was thrown to the ground. Emperor Xuanhe was like an angry dragon, with a furious anger and terrifying anger in his eyes.
Empress Pei had red eyes, and knelt in front of Emperor Xuanhe with a look of self-reproach: "The concubines have no way to teach, please ask the emperor to punish the crime!" ”
Emperor Xuanhe took a heavy breath, and a strange red tide surged up on his face. This is what Emperor Xuanhe looked like when he was extremely angry.
After Emperor Xuanhe showed this appearance last time, two of his attendants were killed by a live staff.
Zhao Gonggong, who was familiar with Emperor Xuanhe's temper, and other chamberlains, were all tight-scalped.
"Hey!" Emperor Xuanhe said coldly: "Go to the Second Prince's Mansion and order the Second Prince to enter the palace immediately to see me." ”
He Qi received the order in a deep voice and withdrew from the hall.
Emperor Xuanhe looked at Gonggong Zhao again: "You go to Zhongcui Palace now, and Emperor Xuanzheng and Concubine Xuan are coming." ”
Zhao Gonggong respectfully accepted the order and quickly retreated.
Emperor Xuanhe did not speak again.
The atmosphere in the Baohe Hall did not disperse, and it became more and more tense and stagnant. It's like the calm before a storm. The suffocating coercion is like a boulder approaching the top, which will fall at any time and smash people to pieces.
Empress Pei was still kneeling on the ground.
Emperor Xuanhe didn't seem to see it, and didn't make Empress Pei get up.
The second prince lives outside the palace, and he has to go back and forth for at least two incense hours. Emperor Zheng Guifei immediately stepped forward from the moment she received the commandment, but it was just a cup of tea.
Empress Pei had just come out of Changle Palace, and the news had not yet reached the ears of Emperor Zheng's concubine. Gonggong Zhao is notoriously tight-mouthed, and because of this, Emperor Zheng didn't know anything before stepping into the Baohe Palace. even had a little hope in his heart, and his steps were quite brisk.
It wasn't until she stepped into the Baohe Palace, saw the mess all over the ground, saw Empress Pei kneeling for a long time, and saw the extremely gloomy face of Emperor Xuanhe, that Emperor Zheng and Concubine Zheng knew that something was wrong, and her heart sank.
can be favored in the palace for many years, and Emperor Zheng's concubine is familiar with Emperor Xuanhe's temperament. She didn't have time to think about it, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty: "The emperor is angry, and the concubine is guilty." ”
Emperor Xuanhe stared at Emperor Zheng's concubine and asked suspiciously, "Oh? Before I say a word, you admit your guilt! It seems that you really know everything. just kept pretending not to know, and then waited for me to find out, angrily scolded the queen, and angered the second prince and the sixth prince. Yes and no? ”
A series of accusations made Emperor Zheng's concubine frightened, and subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Emperor Xuanhe.
This instantaneous reaction could not be concealed from Emperor Xuanhe.
Princess Shouning and Yuan Silan really knew about it, and Emperor Zheng really knew.
