Seeing that the emperor was furious, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army immediately pleaded guilty: "The emperor forgives the sin, Weichen has already probed the mansion and found ...... There's a tunnel there. ”

And that tunnel is very old, and it is clear that it was not built recently. When he took someone to investigate, he found that the tunnel led straight out of the city.

In other words, if Shangguan Zhuo wanted to, he would have fled far away at this time.

After hearing what they said, the emperor's expression became more and more ugly.

Back then, the emperor of Zhennan Wangfu was once checked, and there was clearly nothing wrong at that time, why is there a tunnel popping up now?

But now, it's too late for him to say anything, and now he can only grit his teeth and order: "Then go after it!" ”

Originally, he thought well, leaving Shangguan Zhuo in Shangjing as a hostage, and the people who went to "invite" the king of Zhennan could salute first and then soldier.

But he didn't make this calculation, and Shangguan Zhuo ran away.

The emperor was very angry, and immediately issued a wanted warrant from the Criminal Department, which was issued throughout the entire Western Chu, and the courtiers in the court also knew it instantly, it seems that the Zhennan Mansion and the emperor are completely torn in the face.

Early the next morning, Qin Zheng brought another piece of news.

"Your Majesty, this was searched in the Zhennan Palace, please take a look."

When he said this, Qin Zheng's face was full of solemnity.

After the Imperial Forest Army left yesterday, the emperor announced that Qin Zheng had entered the palace and asked him to take the eighteen secret guards to explore the Zhennan Wangfu in detail.

And seeing his expression today, the emperor immediately felt some bad premonitions in his heart.

But Rao is what he thought of, and when he saw what Qin Zheng had found, he couldn't help but blacken his face.

"Have you confirmed all of this, and it was indeed found there?"

This is an exchange of letters, the content is ambiguous, and there are many counter-arguments.

As for the handwriting, the emperor recognized it even more clearly, because half of it belonged to his good daughter, Princess Tai'an, Shangguan Bihua!

The Emperor was immediately furious.

Knowing that Princess Tai'an had something to do with the Red Lotus Sect, the emperor had already asked her to be arrested, but he cared about a bit of father-daughter friendship, so although he arrested someone, he didn't really punish her.

However, now, these things that were searched out slapped the emperor in the face.

He treats Tai'an as his daughter, but Tai'an obviously doesn't treat him as his father!

This realization made the emperor's face more and more gloomy, and he said coldly: "I know, let me think about it." ”

If it was someone else, the emperor would definitely dispose of the person immediately. But now that it is about Shangguan Bihua, the emperor feels that he needs to be cautious.

He always felt that there were still doubts about this matter.

Therefore, after Qin Zheng left, the emperor directly asked the Imperial Forest Army to come, and asked them to interrogate them secretly.

The object of interrogation is the people around Shangguan Bihua.

But in the end, he was disappointed.

After listening to the interrogation of the Imperial Forest Army, the emperor stood outside the palace for a long time.

In the end, it was the queen who rushed over.

She had been sick in bed for a long time, and after walking outside on a winter night, her face became more and more pale as paper.

Seeing her coming, although the emperor's expression did not ease, there was a slight temperature in his voice: "What are you doing here, if you are not in good health, you can live and raise, and you don't have to practice your body." ”

The queen knelt directly in front of the emperor and said, "The concubine came to ask for sin." ”

With such a big battle in the palace, even if the queen doesn't go out of the house without closing anything, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know anything.

At least she heard the news clearly.

It's about Shangguan Bihua, and she's nominally raised under her knees all these years.

Even if the queen didn't care much about this daughter.

The queen knelt like this, which made the emperor frown.

He didn't go to help the queen, but asked, "Are you here to intercede for her?" "Lele Literature

As soon as the matter came out, the queen came, and at the same time as her speed, it can be seen how many eyes and ears there are in the palace.

This realization made the emperor's expression not very good-looking.

After all, who knows how many secrets she has known over the years that she is unwilling to tell others.

Hearing this, the queen did not raise her eyes, but just shook her head and said: "The concubine asks the emperor to deal with it severely, the state has national laws and family rules, and this matter must not be messed up." The concubine came today to ask the emperor for guilt, the concubine is the mother of the country, and she was raised under the concubine's knees. ”

After saying this, the queen bowed deeply again.

At first, the emperor was still a little angry, but after hearing the queen's words, he sighed and stretched out his hand to help the person up.

He stood outside for a long time, his hands were cold at this moment, and when he touched the queen, she suddenly shrank and shivered.

Seeing that the other party's face was a little paler, the emperor replied and ordered: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you go to the imperial doctor?" ”

After saying this, he took the queen by the hand again and led her into the palace.

If it were someone else, the emperor might be angry, but the person in front of him was different, the queen hurt the root for him back then, and now this body is not as good as day by day, why should he criticize her?

Seeing that the palace people were in a hurry, the queen saluted and thanked her: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The emperor shook his head and didn't say much, but after the imperial doctor came to see her, he learned that her health was fine, and he said in the end: "Tai'an really disappointed me this time, remembering that she is my daughter, and she has been regarded as Chenghuan's knee all these years, so he demoted her to a concubine and sent her to Yongxiang." ”

Yongxiang, which is a prison outside the palace, is dedicated to the royal family and nobles.

If you go to the next place, there may still be a chance of life, but if you are locked up in Yongxiang, then there will be no hope in this life.

However, this result is better than killing her.

The queen naturally has no objections, Princess Tai'an was raised by her, although there is not much mother-daughter affection, but if she doesn't care about anything, she always feels that her conscience is not going.

And now, it is rare for the emperor to be willing to look at his own face and let her live.

Therefore, the queen got up immediately and thanked her solemnly: "Thank you, concubine, Your Majesty." ”

……

It's just that the emperor didn't know that before he could send out this will, someone took the first step to send the news out of the palace.

Princess Tai'an was still waiting for her father to change her mind in a panic, but she first waited for someone to report that the verdict had been handed down, and she was not only demoted to a concubine, but also had to spend the rest of her life in Yongxiang.

This result made Princess Tai'an like a lightning strike, and before she could scream to see her father, she saw someone break in.

Those black-clothed people were like chopping melons and vegetables, knocking down all the people who guarded her, and then someone fell from the sky like a hero to save beauty: "Bihua, I'm here to save you!" ”

If you ignore the ugly appearance of that person, and if you have to take three breaths in a word, you can really be regarded as a hero saving beauty.

Seeing the visitor, Princess Tai'an suddenly felt uncomfortable.

The appearance of the person in front of her, since she saw it for the first time, she has remembered it in her heart, and every time she thinks about it, she feels sick to her stomach.

The right side of the man's face had been burned by the candle flame, covered in a large scar, twisted and oozing.

In the middle of the night, it made her tremble even more: "Shangguan Zhuo, what are you doing?" ”

The person who came was Shangguan Zhuo.

Hearing Princess Tai'an's inquiry, he didn't seem to hear the meaning of her words, and only said affectionately: "I'm here to save you." ”

He did come to the rescue.

Originally, he had already escaped from the city, but after knowing the news that Princess Tai'an had been demoted to a concubine and was going to be sent to Yongxiang, he was a little panicked.

Over the years, he didn't say anything else, but his heart for Shangguan Bihua was true, so after getting the news, his first reaction was to save people.

Even if something happens to her, she has to be saved.

This piece is affectionate, but if it is placed on a normal man, maybe Shangguan Bihua will be moved, but the face in front of her really makes her not like it.

Therefore, after hearing what he said, Shangguan Bihua said coldly: "I don't need you to save me, you can leave quickly, my father won't treat me like this!" ”

She can't go, otherwise, if her father is really angry, then she won't have the slightest chance.

However, she was clear in her heart, but she couldn't stand Shangguan Zhuo and directly let people knock her out, and then said in a deep voice: "Withdraw!" ”
