Chapter 07: The Emperor's Trap

Today's duty in the imperial study is Father-in-law De, who said a few words to Baihu outside the hall, then walked into the hall and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, General Bai asks to see." ”

White tiger?!

The Emperor's Heart; Could it be that the whereabouts of the queen have been found!

The emperor hurriedly put down his hand and said, "Please let him in." ”

Immediately, the white tiger came from outside the hall and said, "The minister sees the emperor, long live the emperor......

Before he finished speaking, the emperor stepped forward and grabbed him by the shoulder, and said hurriedly: "White Tiger, have you found her?" ”

The white tiger said mockingly: "Your Majesty, the minister hasn't returned to the palace for many years, and the rules in this palace are so lax?" ”

In the past few years, the emperor has changed greatly, and only the white tiger dares to joke in front of him.

When the emperor heard this, he said with a cold face: "I ordered you to look for the queen's trace, and if you don't find anyone, you can't return to the palace, is there good news or bad news for you to come back this time?" ”

If outsiders saw the emperor's cold appearance, like the cold-faced king of Hades crawling from hell, he would be so frightened that his legs trembled and he couldn't speak.

Only the white tiger who has followed him since he was a child is very bold.

Baihu said: "Someone saw her active near Zhou County in Chiyan Country!" ”

Hearing this, the emperor's handsome face was full of incredulity, and in two months, it would be the fifth year after their separation.

Over the years, he has lived like a year, tossing and turning every night and finding it difficult to sleep, and he is so sleepy that he will be awakened by nightmares when he can't fake sleep.

If he hadn't become this emperor, he would have wanted to leave all the ends of the earth to find her!

was saying that someone asked him to give up and persuaded him to re-establish the master of the East Palace, but he refused to face the reality, in his heart, Lu Pianpian was alive!

He hoped, wanted, prayed that the love of his heart was still alive in this world!

Over time, his hopes will gradually be dashed...... Just when he had to face the reality and thought that she was really gone, the white tiger brought him great news!

The emperor cried with joy: "What you said is true?!" ”

Seeing his infatuated appearance, Bai Hu sighed slightly, and said: "Although some brothers have seen the queen's figure, we have searched through several villages near Zhou County, and we have not seen the queen......"

As soon as these words came out, the excited interest of the emperor, who was originally full of hope, fell from the sky again!

"Your Majesty ......" Seeing that the emperor almost fainted, the white tiger hurriedly helped him sit on the dragon chair.

The emperor's face was pale, and his bloodless appearance looked very fragile.

"I searched through the nearby villages and didn't find it, did you search the county that week?"

The emperor still did not give up.

Baihu said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

The emperor saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "You say." ”

"Since the queen fell into the Fucheng River, in the past few years, all the large and small cities have posted the emperor list to find the queen, the emperor loves the queen as his life, and does not hesitate to spend 10,000 taels of gold as a reward, but where there is a trace of the queen over the years, these people who are looking for the reward will arrive early......"

Seeing him talking in circles, the emperor just turned pale and looked at him coldly without saying a word, but his deep eyes were still full of doubts.

The white tiger finally expressed his doubts: "You say...... Did the queen deliberately avoid us? ”

Deliberately avoiding them?!

The two of them have the same heart, love is dead and alive, and they can't wait to be together every day......

Why hide?

Seeing the suspicious look on the emperor's face, Baihu thought about it and said, "Otherwise, there is another possibility, she will have amnesia again!" ”

If the queen is still alive but refuses to return to the queen, the only explanation is that she forgot her way home.

So if she really forgets, as long as she walks on the street over the years, she will also be seen!

So, she probably rarely goes out......

The emperor got up and paced back and forth in the hall, his handsome face fell into contemplation, and then he said: "Is there still a lot of officers and soldiers near Zhou County now?" ”

"Before leaving, the minister specially instructed them not to relax and continue to look for the queen's traces."

The emperor said, "Withdraw them." ”

When Baihu heard this, he was frightened: "Your Majesty, you're not looking for the queen?" ”

A calculating look flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he hooked his lips and chuckled: "Of course I look for it, but in another way, maybe she will soon be exposed." ”

The white tiger nodded as if he didn't understand: "The emperor means ......"

The emperor commanded: "You do what I say......

After the emperor explained everything, the white tiger withdrew from the council chamber. The emperor walked to the window of the main hall with his hands on his back, he stood in front of the window, looking at the endless blue sky and white clouds thoughtfully, only looking at his noble temperament, there are six points of loneliness and four points of loneliness.

The emperor looked at the sky, a pair of good-looking phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Pianpian, if you are really alive...... Why are you hiding from my ......?"

Do you know that I miss you day and night!

Are you so ruthless that you don't want me to see you again......

The emperor's good-looking phoenix eyes gradually blurred, and the water beads swirled in the emperor's eyes, but they did not fall for a long time.

At this time, a eunuch quietly walked behind the emperor, and the eunuch saluted respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi asks to see you." ”

The emperor, who was originally crazy, immediately restrained his emotions when he noticed that someone was behind him, and when he saw that tears were rolling in his eyes and were about to fall, he swallowed them back again.

Hey, when you are an emperor, how can you show your emotions to outsiders to see jokes!

Concubine?

Concubine Zuo Ruyi, the daughter of Zuo Taishi.

When the emperor heard this, his mind quickly searched for relevant memories, it turned out to be the concubine who married into the palace two years ago, he had seen it two or three times, and the image was about like a white orchid in front of the windowsill, giving people a sense of cleanliness and refinement, but it made him not feel disgusted.

As long as he is not as charming as Concubine Rong, the emperor is not disgusted by other women talking to him.

Then he said, "Let her in." ”

"Yes!"

After the eunuch retreated for a while, he brought another lady with beautiful eyebrows and eyes and a refined appearance.

She was about twenty years old, in her youth, dressed in light-colored clothes, and she was like an orchid as white as jade, noble, elegant, and gentle......

She bent willow eyebrows, a pair of eyes are bright, when looking at people, always give people a sense that she is very soft and need to be protected, under the high nose bridge, the red lips are not powdered, but not pointed.

All in all, when I look at her, it's like a flower fairy, and I can't take my eyes off it.

"The concubines see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

The emperor sat back on the dragon chair and saw Zuo Ruyi coming, but he only looked at it a few more times, then looked down at the fold in his hand, and said in a cold voice: "What is the matter with Concubine Yi's coming." ”

Zuo Ruyi said: "Your Majesty, the concubines see that you do have some important things to ask for. ”

As she spoke, she took the handkerchief and chuckled lightly, and said, "Originally, this matter was left to the master of the harem to decide, but what ......" Speaking of this, Zuo Ruyi raised his eyes, looked at the emperor expectantly, and said: "It is said that General Bai is back today, could it be that General Bai has found the whereabouts of the queen's mother?" ”

The Emperor put down his hand and looked up at her.

Zuo Ruyi has been married into the palace for several years, and the number of times he has seen the emperor is only four times in total, and this time is added!

What I didn't expect was that the emperor, who only glanced at her a few times in the past, looked at himself seriously now.

Zuo Ruyi blushed with shame, his heart jumped, he was looked at by the emperor like this, he didn't know if he was dignified at the moment, and hurriedly reached out to touch the bun in his ear.

The emperor looked at Zuo Ruyi, who was blushing in front of him, half-narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "It's almost there." ”

Zuo Ruyi was a little stunned, and only after half a sound did she realize that she was answering her last question, and the corners of her flattered mouth flattered.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the emperor has lived up to his wishes, and he can finally reunite with the queen and his wife."

The emperor said, "What did you just say about looking for me?" ”

"That's the case, the concubine's mother is going to Dayang Temple three days later to eat fasting and chanting Buddha for half a month, because she is old, afraid of a mistake in the mountains, the concubine will think about taking care of her in the past, and by the way, she will recite the Buddha with her mother in the temple, pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, find the queen as soon as possible, the dragon and phoenix are auspicious, and the country and the people are safe...... Therefore, I hope that the emperor will approve it. ”

"That's right."

As he spoke, the Emperor picked up another notebook.

Hearing this, Zuo Ruyi was pleasantly surprised, and only looked at her and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

She was so surprised that she deducted a big gift, and because her body movements were too big, she revealed the scars on her wrists, which were red, like scratches that had been scratched by someone, and the emperor just glanced at her inadvertently, and then skimmed the wounds on her wrists.

"What's the matter with your hands?"

The emperor asked subconsciously.

Zuo Ruyi hurriedly covered his wrist with his big sleeve, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, the concubine...... The concubine accidentally fell. ”

The emperor frowned, unless he was stupid, he would not believe her.

"The crime of bullying the king should be punished by the nine clans, and the concubines will not be unclear about this rule."

Zuo Ruyi's face turned pale with fright, and he bowed again and again: "The emperor forgives the sin, it is not good for the concubine, the concubine is like a concubine in the imperial garden, and it is also appropriate for the concubine to punish the concubine." ”

After that, he was busy exonerating the concubine and said: "It's all the concubines themselves, they have nothing to do with the concubines, if you want to punish and scold, the emperor will punish the concubines, don't blame the concubines." ”

Zuo Ruyi's appearance is obviously a pitiful appearance of a victim, but she tries her best to excuse others, which makes people want to protect her.

Although the emperor rarely goes to the harem, he also knows a thing or two about the dramas in the harem.

Qiao Zuo Ruyi's pitiful appearance, most of them were bullied and didn't dare to say it, and they wanted to help people exonerate themselves.

"The two of you are both of the same level, how can a concubine go all out to lynch yourself?"

The emperor sneered: "The queen has been out for many years, and this harem is really getting more and more unruly." ”

Zuo Ruyi knelt on the ground and was at a loss.

"Someone!"

"The minions are here."

"Spread the word, let the head of the harem order the palace maids to sort out the inside and outside of the queen's middle palace, and leave seventy palace maids in the middle palace on standby, waiting for the queen to serve at any time after returning to the palace."

The meaning of the emperor's words; Is the queen coming back soon?

"Yes!"

"Here, the four concubines of the harem have been married into the palace for many years, maybe they have forgotten some rules, let the grandmothers teach the rules, don't rely on the power of the mother's family to bully people at will......"

"Yes!"

After Zuo Ruyi thanked the emperor, he withdrew from the main hall.

Outside the hall, Zuo Ruyi's personal palace maid Rulan stepped forward and helped her walk away before asking, "Miss, how is it?" ”

At this moment, there seemed to be some light jumping in Zuo Ruyi's eyes, which was incomprehensible.

I just looked at the corners of her lips and said, "The emperor promised to let me go to chant Buddha." ”

"Ahh Didn't the young lady's departure give the other three little masters a chance? What if the emperor flips over your brand? ”

"I've been married into the palace for more than two years, and I haven't seen the emperor turn over the brand, don't worry, I'll talk about it when I come back in half a month......"

As he spoke, the master and servant walked out of the palace side by side, and the people in the palace were all masters of acting!

At this moment, a certain woman who bought a big house in Zhou County to live in was completely unaware that the emperor designed a foolproof trap in order to let her fall into the net......
