Qixi didn't know why His Majesty was so angry, and obviously no one would tell him at this moment, so he had to kneel on the ground and bear it silently.

It took a lot of effort for His Majesty to overturn the rosewood case, so he didn't sit down for a while, but sat down angrily.

It's been such a long time, as if a whole century has passed, and for Qixi, the only thing to do at this moment is patience.

His Majesty's anger finally calmed down a bit, and then with a cold chill, he slowly asked, "Xue Qixi, I ask you, is it the Liu Thorn Shi that you sent someone to assassinate?" ”

Seven Joy then understood the reason for His Majesty's anger.

A month ago, on the orders of the noble concubine, he sent his cronies to pretend to be assassins, assassinated Taizhou assassin Shi Liumi, and threw his body into the Lingjiang River. Local officials did not dare to report such a matter of life and death without seeing the body easily, so it was not until a few days ago that the body was found and Liu Mi's death letter was confirmed, so he hurriedly reported it to the imperial court.

Taizhou is not far from Huainan, although there is no evidence left, but with His Majesty's mind, he has quickly guessed that he did it.

He knew that it was wrong to say anything at the moment, so he chose to bow his head in silence.

His Majesty's voice trembled a little, and he could hear that he was trying to suppress the anger in his heart, "This palace is no longer mine, and the imperial doctor has deceived me, I finally have such a person who is good for me, and you don't leave me behind, do you want my life!" ”

Qixi was a little stunned, what happened in this palace?

But at this time, he could only choose to be silent.

His Majesty sneered, laughing so creepy that His Majesty could only hear His Majesty continue: "I know that it was the concubine who instructed you, right? You're not my minion, you're just a lackey of the concubine! ”

His Majesty couldn't help it, walked up to him again, and kicked him hard.

This kick was kicked between the ribs, Qixi only felt a dull pain, a fishy sweetness welled up in his throat, and a little red flowed from the corners of his mouth.

He was still patient, maintaining a kneeling position.

But he felt sad in his heart, why did His Majesty say such a thing, and how sad would Niang Niang have to be if she heard it!

Finally, His Majesty began to be dissatisfied with his silence, and roared: "If you don't say it, if you don't say it, I know that it was all instructed by the concubine!" Someone, someone, call the concubine to come and see me! ”

The people outside didn't dare to say much, so they had to go to Penglai Hall to report and tell His Majesty that His Majesty was angry and wanted to see her.

Nian Yun was also a little surprised, Qixi was obviously going to report the good news, why did His Majesty suddenly lose such a big temper?

She came to the Zichen Palace, slowly walked up the steps, and saw Qixi kneeling on the ground with blood stains on the corner of her mouth. Before she could speak, she saw Qixi leaning towards her slightly, and said two words to her silently with her mouth: Liu Yu.

Nian Yun understood, and saluted, "Your Majesty." ”

But Li Chun didn't want to hear what she said, but he glanced at her coldly, "Concubine, I have always treated you well, why do you want to be my enemy like this!" Do you know how disappointed I am in you? ”

Disappointed? If you want to say disappointed, the disappointed person should be her!

Nian Yun sighed lightly in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, this time I returned to the palace to report to Your Majesty the details of Wu Yuanji's incident, this is the joy of the Tang Dynasty......"

Li Chun glanced at her coldly with a blade-like gaze, "I already know about the capture of Wu Yuanji, but it is not the credit of the concubine and this minion, so don't take this opportunity to invite credit!" ”

Asking for credit?

Nianyun knelt down, "Your Majesty, how can the concubine say that Your Majesty will believe that the concubine's heart towards Your Majesty has never changed?" In this life, the concubine has done everything for His Majesty and for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. But why should Your Majesty be suspicious of concubines! ”

"For me, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Chun approached her, forcing her to retreat step by step, and looked at her with red eyes: "Don't think that if I love you and spoil you, you can do whatever you want!" Today, if you dare to kill the officials of the imperial court, next time, will you even ...... me?"

He once took over the world from the terminally ill Emperor Dezong, and once forced Emperor Taishang to "ascend to immortal" with his own hands, which is an eternal scar in his heart.

Therefore, it is also the eternal fear in his heart, although he has never said it, he has always been afraid of the so-called retribution.

Nian Yun shook her head slowly, she couldn't admit the charge of killing the court officials. Although 7-Up is here, she believes that 7-Up will not betray her.

"Your Majesty, you have to tell a piece of evidence in everything, the concubine has lived in the deep palace for a long time, how can Your Majesty decide that the concubine killed the court officials?"

Li Chun snorted coldly: "Evidence, do you think that without evidence, I don't know that you did it?" Don't tell me anything about living in the deep palace for a long time, you know better than me, the emperor! ”

Nian Yun stared at Li Chun, trying to see even a little pity and tenderness on his face, but no, she only saw violence and anger.

She lowered her head in disappointment and sighed lightly: "Since Your Majesty is all based on speculation, why don't you think that Mr. Liu is the assassination of the Prime Minister that Your Majesty has never found?" Why don't you think that the medicine he gave to His Majesty not only has the ingredients of cold food powder, but also can make people addicted and the body slowly weakens?

Your Majesty does not trust the concubine, nor does he want to trust Imperial Doctor Liang, who has followed His Majesty for many years, if His Majesty calls the concubine here today, just to punish the concubine, then the concubine is at the disposal of His Majesty. The whole world is not the king's land, that is, today His Majesty wants to die of a concubine, and the concubine has to die. But to make the concubine confess, please also ask Your Majesty to come up with evidence. ”

After she finished speaking, she no longer looked at His Majesty, and she didn't even look at Qixi who was kneeling on the ground, so she turned around and slowly walked out of the Zichen Hall with a wide skirt.

The snowflakes fell sparsely and fell down, and she heard His Majesty's voice behind her, which was more chilling than ice and snow, "Spread my will, from today onwards, the noble concubine Guo will be grounded in Penglai Palace, and the people of Penglai Hall will not be allowed to go out without an edict!" ”

Watching her figure disappear outside the main hall, slowly being annihilated by the heavy snow, Li Chun suddenly felt a feeling of discomfort in his heart, as if the whole heart had been empty in a huge piece at some moment, and then collapsed a corner, and the wind blew in coldly, without any cover.

The violence and anger on his face were like a cloud of ice and snow slowly melting, melting into a cold mess of sadness and loss.

Even he himself has discovered that in recent months, his temper has become completely uncontrollable, and he has become suspicious of those around him.

What's wrong with him?

Look at Xue Qixi who was kneeling on the ground, this right-hand man who had been by her side for so many years, he never said a word, neither defended himself, nor said half a word about the rights and wrongs of the master, his posture was still stable, and he clearly had the same stubbornness as her.

Li Chun sighed heavily, "Qixi, go down and go to Penglai Hall to accompany the concubine." ”

"Yes, thank you for your grace."

He still didn't say much, and slowly got up from the ground, holding the same position for a long time, making his body look a little stiff and staggering.

He bowed his head and retreated to the door, then turned away, leaving behind a tall, thin back, little by little blending into the wind and snow.

The empty Zichen Palace, full of messes, Li Chun suddenly felt lonely for no reason.

He sat back in the carved rosewood chair and buried his face in the fox fur, and the loneliness came over the world, almost engulfing him, as if from now on he was really just a lonely man.

"Your Majesty......"

A clear voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence of the Zichen Palace. Li Chun raised his head and saw the crown prince Li Heng standing in front of him.

Li Chun pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down." ”

Li Heng lifted his robe slightly, stepped over the folds and porcelain fragments all over the ground, first helped up the heavy rosewood case, and then squatted down to pick up the folds one by one, divided them into two stacks according to whether they had been approved, and stacked them neatly on the case.

He did it silently, and Li Chun watched silently, and neither father nor son spoke.

When the hall was finally roughly restored to cleanliness, Li Heng finally knelt down, "Your Majesty, although the son doesn't know why his mother was grounded, the son asks Your Majesty to see ......the love for many years."

"Your Majesty!"

Another crisp voice sounded in the dull hall.

The father and son looked at each other, and the mink fur cloak standing at the door of the main hall was Luoluo, thinking that he was in a hurry, and the tip of his nose was red from the cold.

His Majesty's face sank, "You are also here to intercede for the concubine?" ”

Luoluo Yingying smiled, stepped forward, and was not polite, sat down in a big way, and smiled coquettishly: "I guessed wrong, Luoluo is here to take the opportunity to seize power." ”

"Power?"

At this time, of course, the mother is the most important, what kind of medicine does she sell in the gourd? Li Heng looked at her with some confusion, and even wanted to ask if he knew that his mother had just been grounded by His Majesty.

Luoluo didn't look at him either, but said to His Majesty: "Luoluo has heard that my mother has just been grounded." But this is a family matter between father and mother, and Luoluo feels that no matter what he says, it may not be right. ”

She smiled and said: "It's just that Your Majesty forgot, now everything in the Daming Palace is taken care of by her mother, and she is now grounded.

Luo Luo is not talented, and after studying with his mother for so long, he has only learned a scratch of the surface. However, didn't my father always say that Luoluo was a bold, and now Luoluo has the courage again, and I implore His Majesty to hand over Daming Palace to Luoluo for the time being. ”

Originally, there was only one Li Heng to intercede, but if the two children were here to intercede, Li Chun really felt uncomfortable in his heart. But when he heard Luoluo say this, Li Chun remembered that he had grounded the concubine on impulse and forgot about it.

He also knew that this princess Taihe was doing things properly, and he had studied with the concubine for so long, even if he was a little immature, it would not be too much of a problem.

Li Chundang said: "Since this is the case, it just saves me the trouble, so I will leave it to you." ”

Luoluo laughed, for fear that he would regret it, so he stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
