That night, many of the powerful people who were about to pack up their money and other things and leave the capital the next day woke up the next morning to find a red feather arrow at the head of the bed.

This red feather arrow was originally a thing of Jinyiwei, but in this dynasty, it was all used by the East Factory, so over time, everyone only knew the red feather arrow of the East Factory.

And the meaning of the red feather arrow at night has become, Dongchang is staring at you.

Dongchang is the emperor's knife, and the emperor will cut wherever he wants, never caring what kind of dignitary you are.

What everyone knows is that Dongchang did not show the slightest mercy when he found out about His Royal Highness the Second Prince before, and reported to the emperor in front of everyone.

You must know that the second prince is the concubine of the queen's mother, with such a noble status, you don't care what it is, but whoever is next to the court, who does not have to weigh it carefully.

But only the people in Dongchang seem to be empty-eyed, no matter what your identity is, you should check it clearly.

That's what he said, but these magnates still hold their own identities, and they feel that the people of Dongchang will not go to their heads to dance knives and sticks, but at this time, when they really saw the red feather arrow, they really panicked.

Those official wives are the most panicked, although they are all destined to be in their bodies, but where have they seen this kind of method in Dongchang.

This god unknowingly inserted a red feather arrow at the head of the bed, but he didn't know what kind of ability he had at night.

What's more, they are lying in bed without even noticing it......

"Master, what should I do?"

And one by one the adults took the red feather arrow and pondered.

Dongchang means that we are staring at you, today is to drop a red feather arrow to you, and if you are not good and honest, then next time, this arrow is afraid that it will fall on your heart.

The meaning of the people in Dongchang is very clear, they want your life to be easy.

So, be honest with me.

All they could say was, "Put everything back and treat it as if it were all gone." ”

The ladies exclaimed, "My lord! Aren't we leaving? ”

There is a plague in this capital, this is real news, if you don't leave today, if you really get infected tomorrow, this is really not fun.

"My lord, how can you not leave?" The ladies were in a hurry, and they wanted to go out of the city directly yesterday.

But you pack a stick of incense and I pack a cup of tea, which delays the time to get out of the city.

Although everyone has tokens on their bodies, even if they want to ask someone to open the city gate, it is not impossible.

But after all, this matter is a refugee, if you are too fanfare, then maybe it will alarm the top, don't say that you are going to leave at this time, I am afraid that it is possible to cut you to appease the people, so I think about leaving overnight.

One more night in this capital, in fact, they were already scared, and at this time, they even said that they would not leave, which scared people to death.

"My lord, if you don't leave...... The palace can't cover it, and it's been spread out, and there really isn't a piece of pure land in the capital......"

The ladies still want to persuade again.

But I saw that the arrow in the hand of the magnate was directly used to the ground, and the red feather arrow made a crisp sound.

"Let's go? How to go? The people in Dongchang are already standing in front of them! ”

As soon as the ladies heard Dongchang, they didn't dare to say anything.

"Why did the people from Dongchang send us red feather arrows in a good manner, don't you understand? Here's why. ”

The ladies did not dare to speak.

"The people in Dongchang already know that we are leaving Beijing, or whether it is the people of Dongchang, it should be said that His Majesty knows, and His Majesty does not want to call us out, but if it is directly ordered, then bring this matter to the table and say, now most of the people do not know about the plague, if the people know about it, I am afraid that the people's hearts are unstable."

"Is that why we are going to die here?" The ladies almost cried, and couldn't help but stomp their feet.

I couldn't help but complain about the emperor in my heart.

He has a responsibility to Chen Guo, so naturally he can't leave the capital to do anything else.

But they're just taking some money, and now they don't want it, can't they go?

"Waiting to die? If you go out of Beijing today, I'm afraid that before you get to the city gate, everyone will be pulled into the East Factory, do you want to go into the East Factory? ”

Dongchang is notoriously hell on earth.

Only if the people in Dongchang don't want to ask, there is no mouth they can't pry open, even the lady in the deep mansion has heard of this.

And now Ji Jia, the governor of Dongchang, is not in Beijing all the year round, so everyone really doesn't know what his situation is.

It's just that I know that the people below are really ruthless.

Those ladies didn't dare to speak, they would rather die of the plague than go to Dongchang for a day.

"Therefore, since Your Majesty does not ask us to leave Beijing, then we will not leave Beijing, and as usual, open the gate and pretend that nothing happened."

Hearing this, Madame was about to cry, she was so scared.

"Master, it's okay if we don't leave, we're so old anyway, even if we're dead, it's nothing. But...... But the kids are still so young......"

The ladies had a little hope in their hearts, "Otherwise, let's just pretend that nothing happened here...... Just sending the kids out? ”

In this case, the people in Dongchang may have relaxed their vigilance honestly.

"Shut up!" The magnate was a little annoyed, "You just think you're smart, and you don't want to think about what kind of means the people in Dongchang are, let alone children, I'm afraid that if there is one less family member in the house, they will know!" ”

He waved his sleeves, "Needless to say, although it looks the same as before, but ask the gatekeeper to watch carefully, from today on, people in our house are not allowed to enter and exit at will, except for grain purchases, they are not allowed to enter or leave, you too, don't go to any banquet at will, you are all sick, and don't invite others in." ”

"Yes, we all know that." Madame still looked worried.

"In addition, the ice warehouse asked people to clean it up, and ordered more meat, vegetables, melons and fruits, etc., if one day, the whole capital is really a plague, and we have to be locked up in our own yard and have something to eat."

The person who saw the head of the family also had such an idea, whether it was the master or the slave, they were all relieved.

"Yes, we know." Just do it, be lucky, or if this thing doesn't get in their way at all, it may be that they won't have an accident.

A large number of people in the city who were originally going to prepare people to leave the empty buildings did not dare to move because of a red feather arrow in Dongchang.

On this day, it was as if nothing had happened in the capital, and the clouds passed lightly.

And it was so easy to solve such a big thing without a single soldier, so that the emperor felt that it was an extremely tricky thing, and the emperor would inevitably feel in his heart - this Cao Tingyue was really a little more powerful than he thought.

There are clear rewards and punishments, which is the emperor's principle.

Since he has already rewarded Cao Tingyu with the position of punishment, then someone must be punished.

And the initiator of this turmoil is the queen.

When the queen didn't know what was going on, she even wondered with anticipation whether the second prince would bring back good medicine, or when she found a famous doctor.

The news had not yet arrived, but the emperor had arrived first.

In fact, the emperor did not want to deal with the empress at this juncture.

Because now, the harem is really too messy.

It's not good over there for a long time, but Imperial Doctor Zheng is still guarding day and night, and he always feels like danger.

And the sixth princess is even more so, more and more people are falling, but I am afraid that it will not be long before there is really no one in the palace of Her Royal Highness the Six Princesses.

At this time, it is indeed necessary for the queen to stand up and preside over the overall situation, at least to tell the people in the harem to stabilize their mentality, and the queen should be an example.

However, what the emperor had in mind was that the empress did not set an example.

She even committed the biggest taboo.

So the emperor first set foot in Kunning Palace.

The queen didn't know what was going on, so she hurriedly came out to say goodbye to the emperor.

In the end, after the prince went, the news on the queen's side was even more closed and blocked than before, and this matter was already clear to everyone with heads and faces in the capital, but the queen still didn't know. Do you talk about it?

The emperor did not cry out, but went inside and sat down, and then asked the queen, "Empress, are you guilty?" ”

This inexplicably came to this time, the queen was really confused, and she didn't know that she had offended the emperor or was wrong again.

But the queen couldn't refute anything at the first time, so she quickly knelt and turned around, and then lowered her head, "Concubine......"

She chattered for a long time before she said, "The concubine really doesn't know what's wrong, and I ask Your Majesty to show it." ”

The Emperor snorted coldly, and then said, "I don't know? This is something that is clear to the whole capital, as a queen, you don't know anything? ”

The queen was even more confused, the affairs of the capital used to be the news that the father-in-law passed to her, and now that the father-in-law is gone, it should be the uncle of the country, but the uncle is busy dealing with the aftermath of the father-in-law, where is there any time and energy to come to see her.

So the queen really doesn't know anything.

She hurriedly said, "The concubine really doesn't know, and I ask Your Majesty to know it." ”

The emperor slapped the table, and his tone was even deeper, "I don't know? Do you not know or do you think you are doing the right thing? ”

"The second prince learned about the plague, didn't you let it out?!"
