Chapter 395: Persecution
The evening breeze hunts, and in the spring night, the wind still carries a slight chill.
Fang Mengru stood in the courtyard, her clothes fluttering, her face like frost.
No one in the courtyard dared to speak, and a heavy sense of depression hung over everyone's heads like a big black cloud.
"Get out of the way, I'm going to kill her tonight!" Fang Mengru's gaze passed through Meng Yi's body, pointing directly at Peony's face like a sharp blade in her hand.
Peony felt the chilling killing intent coming from Fang Mengru's body, and involuntarily walked behind Meng Yi again-
She had expected Fang Mengru's temperament, and she was afraid that she would not let her go, so she hurriedly went to Meng Yi to confess what had happened, and asked Meng Yi for shelter.
But now, although Meng Yi was in front of him, Peony still felt afraid for no reason.
"I already know about the Wang family." Meng Yi's expression was calm, and he looked at Fang Mengru fixedly and said, "Although this matter is a bit excessive, the Wang family is a person from the previous dynasty, and it doesn't matter if you stay or not." ”
"I look at this matter, let's forget it, if the queen is dissatisfied and wants any compensation, as long as it is not too much, I am willing to satisfy you."
Meng Yi didn't really want to protect the peony, but the peony was brought up by him, and it was of some use to him, if he gave it up like this, it would inevitably be a pity, so he wanted to keep people for the time being.
But Fang Mengru didn't know what Meng Yi was thinking, at this time she only wanted to kill Peony to avenge the Wang family.
"I just want her life!" Fang Mengru raised the sharp blade in his hand, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the peony behind Meng Yi.
Meng Yi frowned slightly. At this time, there were still many palace people standing in the courtyard, but Fang Mengru didn't care about his face at all.
He felt a little annoyed in his heart.
"If the queen insists on wanting the life of the concubine today, then pass the pass first." Meng Yi rarely made a face on the other party's Mengru.
And seeing Meng Yi favoring himself so much, Peony couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart, "Sister Queen, Peony just wants to find a repeat offender for the emperor as soon as possible, and she doesn't mean to kill the Wang family." ”
"If the queen sister is really dissatisfied with the peony in her heart, the peony is willing to apologize to the queen sister...... It's just that the emperor is the king of a country, and the queen's sister must not act impulsively! ”
Peony had tears in her eyes, Chu Chu looked at Lin Yingxue pitifully, if someone who didn't know saw it, I am afraid that Peony would think that Peony was the one who had suffered a great grievance.
"Femme fatale, shut up!" After Fang Mengru glared at Peony with disgust, she turned her gaze to Meng Yi's body again, "Your Majesty, please get out of the way, the sword has no eyes, if the concubine accidentally hurts the emperor's dragon body for a while, it will not be good." ”
"Are you threatening me?" No matter what Fang Mengru's attitude towards him was in private, now in front of such a palace person, being threatened like this by Fang Mengru, Meng Yi would inevitably feel unhappy.
"The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine just wants her life!" The moment Fang Mengru's words fell, she slammed the sword in her hand and stabbed forward.
Seeing this, Meng Yi's eyes froze, but he stood still and didn't move - he was gambling, whether Mengru would stop because of him.
The tip of the sword seemed to touch something, and it gently pushed forward, and the bright red, warm liquid slowly slipped from the sword.
One drop, two drops, time seems to stand still at this moment.
Everyone's eyes widened and they looked at Fang Mengru in surprise - they actually dared to really do something to the emperor!
This is a capital crime to kill the head!
"Come on, the queen intends to assassinate the emperor, so don't arrest him quickly!" Peony was the first to speak, and her shrill voice pierced people's eardrums like some unpleasant whistling sound.
With a 'bell', someone snatched the sword in Fang Mengru's hand and threw it to the ground, and restrained Fang Mengru with his backhand.
From beginning to end, Mengru never resisted, she just frowned and looked at Meng Yi, after all, what she was hurting now was not someone else, but the king of a country.
What happened next was beyond her control!
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Peony stepped forward to look at the wounds on Meng Yi's body with a worried face, and said anxiously: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go and ask the imperial doctor quickly!" ”
As soon as Peony's words fell, all the palace people woke up as if they were from a dream, and went down to arrange them one by one in a panic.
"Your Majesty ......" Peony covered Meng Yi's bleeding wound with the handkerchief in his hand, and his face was full of distress.
Meng Yi didn't even look at the peony, just stared at Fang Mengru fixedly, his eyes were calm, as if he was waiting for Fang Mengru to say something.
However, he didn't wait for anything after all-Fang Mengru turned his head and said nothing, there was neither the guilt he wanted to see on his face, nor any other surprised and sad emotions.
Sure enough, she hated him, so even if she hurt him, she wouldn't feel a little sad in her heart.
Looking at the injured look that flashed on Meng Yi's face, Peony was so jealous that he almost went crazy, "Your Majesty, the queen intends to kill the king, and now she should be arrested and imprisoned in the heavenly prison!" ”
“…… Send the queen back to the palace, and no one is allowed to visit without my order. ”
Even if she treated him like this, he was still unwilling to be cruel to her after all.
"Your Majesty!" Peony was so anxious that her face was distorted, "The concubine knows that the emperor has always loved the queen, but the queen almost took your life just now!" It can be seen that the queen may not be as affectionate to you as you are to her! ”
"If you spare the queen today, how do you know if there will be a next time for such a thing!"
Peony's words were like knives, slashing at Meng Yi's heart one by one.
He frowned slightly, and a subtle sadness flashed in his bottomless eyes.
"I have my own idea in my heart, and I will take the queen back to the palace to take care of it, and I will still be treated by the queen with etiquette, and anyone who neglects will be killed." After saying that, Meng Yi turned his head and left, without looking at anyone else.
Seeing this, Peony was almost so angry that he smoked on the spot.
After Meng Yi left, he did not return to Peony's dormitory, but returned to his own palace.
Peony stayed in the palace for a while, still a little indignant in his heart, "What happened tonight, for the sake of protecting Fang Mengru's slut, the emperor will definitely suppress this matter, you can find a way to spread the news tonight, it is best to let the Manchu Dynasty civil and military know about Fang Mengru's assassination of the emperor tonight before going to the court tomorrow!" ”
Peony coldly instructed the palace people on the side, after all, just counting on Meng Yi, I'm afraid she will never be able to defeat Fang Mengru, so it is more appropriate to rely on herself!
"Yes......" The palace man on the side replied with a little hesitation: "It's just that the emperor wants to suppress the matter, if the mother spreads the matter and goes against the emperor's will, I'm afraid the emperor will ......."
"Idiot, aren't you going to be careful not to leave the handle?!" Peony roared angrily, and said with some hatred: "What's more, there is no impermeable wall in the world, can the emperor hide such a big thing if he wants to?" ”
"Yes, slave and maid understand!" The palace people who admonished saw that Peony was angry, and they didn't dare to say anything more, so they hurriedly retreated after answering with a chatter.
Peony's subordinates were quite hard, and as soon as he went to court the next day, Meng Yi was 'persecuted' by all the courtiers.
"Your Majesty, the queen actually dares to assassinate the king of a country, if she is not punished according to the law, where is the king's law and the country's prestige in the future?" The one who stood up and spoke was an old minister, who had always been neutral in the court, so his words carried a lot of weight.
"Your Majesty, please punish the queen severely!" Seeing the elder speak, more people stood up to admonish.
Meng Yi squinted at the people below, his eyes were a little cold, "The queen just accidentally hurt me when she was playing with me, I don't know what happened in my harem, you know better than me!" ”
With a 'bang', as the words fell, Meng Yi slapped the table fiercely.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were so frightened that their bodies trembled when they saw Meng Yi being angry.
Several veteran figures in the DPRK secretly exchanged glances, and then took a firm step forward and said: "Your Majesty, whether it is joking or not, the emperor's body is the foundation of the country, how can people be injured at will?" ”
"If the emperor favors the queen because of love, if someone makes such a mistake again in the future, how should the emperor deal with it?"
The ministers were full of heart-wrenching words, and the more Meng Yi listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled.
"I will handle this matter myself, and I don't need the ministers to teach me how to do it." Meng Yi already spoke in an impatient tone.
"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, the longer it drags on, the longer the rumors will spread. Now this matter is only spreading in the palace, if it spreads to the people in the future, I am afraid it will become a joke! ”
"Therefore, the minister implores the emperor to dispose of the queen as soon as possible!"
"The minister implores the emperor to dispose of the queen as soon as possible!"
In the past, there were several factions who often fought for blushing and thick necks in the court, and no one let anyone, but today they are extremely harmonious, and they are all asking him to deal with Lin Yingxue in unison.
These people are suddenly so united, Meng Yi doesn't think that these people have suddenly come to their senses.
"I said that I have my own decision, and I don't need your guidance to retreat!" Meng Yi said that this was already with obvious anger.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Meng Yi got up to leave, the two old ministers gritted their teeth, and after secretly glancing at each other, the two of them knelt down at the same time.
"Please ask the emperor to dispose of the queen as soon as possible! If the emperor doesn't do it for a day, the ministers will kneel here for a day! ”
He was forced in this way!
Meng Yi turned his head abruptly, and under the overzeal, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, you can kneel if you want." ”
After saying that, Meng Yi turned around and threw his sleeves away, not seeing the slightest trace of mud and water.
The two old ministers obviously didn't expect that they couldn't force Meng Yi to comply, and the two of them smiled bitterly at the same time, secretly making a mistake.
When others saw this, some secretly gloated, and some consciously stayed to kneel with the two.
For a while, there were many people kneeling on the top of the Jinluan Palace, and the scene was really a bit depressing and solemn.
