Chapter 178: Murder in the Palace
"Crown prince, crown princess, the hour is coming."
After being reminded by the etiquette behind them, the two turned around and walked into the main hall, and the palace maids hurriedly followed the long trailing tail behind Mu Yunyi.
In the main hall, the emperor and queen were already sitting at the head, and the ceremonial father-in-law on the side bowed down to the two masters and the two newcomers, and said loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived, worship the mountains and rivers of Dongzhao world!" ”
Mu Yunyi's hand was gently placed on the prince's palm, and the two of them worshiped the sky outside the hall.
"Two worship the ancestors of Dongzhao!"
The two turned around and bowed to the ancestral tablet of the Tanglin royal family above the incense case in the hall.
"Three worship of the mother of the country!"
The emperor and queen are sitting at the head of the hall, accepting the bow of the prince and the princess.
"Husband and wife!"
As her father-in-law sang, Mu Yunyi's face suddenly flashed in front of her eyes.
Mu Xiu, I listened to you and my father, married to Prince Dongzhao, I will take good care of myself and Prince Shun's mansion, but I can only keep you in my heart from now on, and I can no longer mention it from time to time......
Just when the prince and Mu Yunyi were standing opposite each other, and were about to bow deeply, they suddenly heard a "poof" sound on the side.
Everyone followed the prestige, but it was a little eunuch who knelt in front of the emperor.
"Presumptuous! Where did the minions come from, so they don't understand the rules, don't look at what kind of place this is?! The emperor was furious.
"yes, how can you break in so recklessly, what kind of decency." The queen is also displeased, civil and military officials, royal relatives and relatives are standing outside the palace, the worship hall has not yet been completed, and it is disturbed by a small eunuch, where is the face of the heavenly family?
"The emperor and the queen mother forgive their sins and ...... Something is wrong! The little eunuch buried his head deep and said tremblingly.
The clansmen in the hall and the courtiers outside the hall stopped and began to whisper.
"What could be more important than the prince's wedding?!" The emperor slapped his hand heavily on the armrest of the dragon chair and yelled at the palace people on the side: "Don't drag me down yet!" ”
Mu Yunyi was even more confused, she didn't know what was going on, so she had to wait silently, and it was none of her business.
The prince noticed that the little eunuch was the last eunuch of the East Palace, although he was his person, but at this time he really didn't understand the rules when he broke into the Streamer Palace, and the father and mother were furious, and he had no way to shelter this slave, so he had to let people pull him out first, and after the wedding, he asked for a clear reason, and if there was a grievance, he would let it go.
Just as the palace people dragged the little eunuch out and passed by the prince, the little eunuch looked at the prince and shouted: "Your Highness, Mama Qin, it's Mama Qin who has an accident!" ”
"Wait!" When the prince heard the little eunuch mention Mama Qin, he immediately asked the palace people to stop, Mama Qin has been taking care of and accompanying the prince since she was a child, and she has even been by the queen's side for so many years, and she is the most trusted relative he regards.
"Say, what happened to Mama Qin?"
The little eunuch was let go by the palace people, knelt in front of the prince, raised his head and said, "Mama Qin, she was killed...... The minions hadn't seen Mama Qin this morning, but when they found it, Mama Qin had already ......"
"Mama Qin, she?!" The prince stepped forward and grabbed the little eunuch by the collar.
"Mama Qin, she's dead......"
"How could it be, how could it be!" The prince couldn't believe it, let go of the little eunuch and took a step back in a daze, "How did Mama Qin get killed?" ”
Mu Yunyi was also very shocked at this time, only a few hours later, Mama Qin was killed, and she was still in the palace. She began to feel faintly uneasy in her heart, but she couldn't say what was wrong, all this was too strange, how could such a thing happen when she married the prince, and the person who had the accident happened to be a good person she had guessed this morning...... Could it be ...... Mu Yunyi had no choice but to remain silent and see how it would develop in the future.
The emperor knew the relationship between the crown prince and Mama Qin, but in order to take care of the overall situation, he said: "That's it, I will call someone to investigate, Yi'er, you first bow to the crown princess, the courtiers and nobles are here, you can't lose your dignity, and you can't miss the auspicious time." As he spoke, he instructed the eunuch Kang Gong, the chief eunuch beside him, to say fairly: "Kang Dehai, you go and take someone to follow this little eunuch to investigate what happened, and how Mama Qin was killed, if anyone dares to do it on the day of the prince's wedding, I will not spare it!" ”
"Yes, the minion commands!" Kang Dehai came to the little minion, pulled him up and whispered, "Xiao Xinzi, where was Mama Qin killed, you lead the way." ”
"The minions found Mama Qin's ...... in Kunyi Palace"
......As soon as the words came out, Gonggong Kang was stunned in place, not only him, everyone in the hall silently lowered their heads, at this time no one dared to blatantly look at the emperor, you must know that "Kunyi Palace" has been a taboo in this palace for so many years, and today's prince's nurse died in Kunyi Palace, it seems that the prince's wedding cannot be carried out smoothly.
Sure enough, after hearing the words "Kunyi Palace", the emperor's body was like a layer of ice, he slowly stood up, walked up to the little eunuch and said, "What did you say, say it again?" ”
When the little eunuch saw the emperor like this, he knelt on the ground with a puff: "If you go back to the emperor, the servants can't find Mama Qin everywhere this morning, and then the little eunuchs from other palaces came to report, saying that when they were cleaning the palace road, they found that the locked door of Kunyi Palace was actually open, and they originally wanted to close the door, but they saw someone lying on the ground in the palace courtyard, and when they went in, they found that it was Mama Qin......"
If the murder of the prince's nurse is not a big deal, but someone trespasses into the Kunyi Palace and still commits murder inside, this is a very big deal for the emperor.
After a while, the emperor glanced at the crown prince and Mu Yunyi, and said to everyone: "There was an accident in the palace today, and the auspicious time was missed, and the wedding ceremony of the prince and the crown princess was completed at another auspicious time." ”
Subsequently, the emperor said to Kang Dehai: "Go to Kunyi Palace." With that, he walked straight out of the Streamer Palace.
Kang Dehai and the eunuch Ma Yu'er called "Xiao Xinzi" followed the emperor.
Leaving the rest of the people inside and outside the temple looking at each other.
The prince said to Mu Yunyi: "If it is related to Kunyi Palace, it will be widely implicated, so I have to wronged you, and after the matter is clarified, your worship with this palace will be made up again." ”
"Yes, no one would have thought that such a thing would happen, it is all up to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness, and the concubines have no grievances."
"Okay, your mother is here, and the palace will also go to Kunyi Hall to have a look."
"Yes." Mu Yunyi took a step back and let the prince walk out of the Streamer Palace.
However, when she turned around, Mu Yunyi noticed that the emotions in the queen's eyes were different from those of everyone?
The emperor and the crown prince were angry when they knew about this, and the emperor was evasive after hearing about it, and why did the queen react like this, that was a hint of ...... Bitterness?
