The waist of the prince was lowered a little, and he replied: "Back to the emperor, no." However, all the Magadha envoys of Honglu Temple committed suicide. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng was silent, it seems that this envoy group was fake from the beginning.

Maybe at first he just wanted to explore the reality of the Great Zhou, but in the end, he saw that the Great Zhou did not have a prince, and the princes had their own supporters, so they improvised and assassinated themselves.

So who will be behind the scenes?

Emperor Hong Zheng speculated on several other envoys, but felt that none of them seemed to be possible. Is the person behind the curtain hiding in the capital?

"Not a single mouth? Are there any missing people? ”

The prince said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, there is no one on the list of envoys, but there is a famous female cook in the kitchen, but she is missing." ”

"Let Wei Shen investigate, and dig three feet into the ground for me to find out."

Emperor Hong Zheng was a little irritable, mainly because of Jiang Yue's lawlessness. At the beginning, the matter on Cangnan Mountain in Tongzhou was gently let go because of Xiao Jiu.

Unexpectedly, she actually intensified, and she was the only one in the harem! It seems that it's time for the harem to enter.

Gonggong An tiptoed in and said, "Your Majesty, the queen made snacks with her own hands, and Yao Hibiscus came to invite the emperor to Kunning Palace." ”

According to tradition, the emperor will go to Kunning Palace on the night of Wanshou Day.

There are too many things happening today, the emperor is slow to move, and Empress Jiang can't bear it, so she asked Yao Jin to invite Emperor Hong Zheng.

Emperor Hong Zheng's expression was unknown, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, and he put the white jade lion paperweight in his hand on the imperial table: "Drive the Xianfu Palace!" ”

Gonggong An was stunned, but seeing that Emperor Hong Zhengdi's face was not good, he didn't dare to say much, so he could only raise his voice slightly: "Drive Xianfu Palace." ”

When Emperor Hong Zheng came to Xianfu Palace, Concubine Bai Xian hurriedly greeted her, her eyes were ecstatic, and her voice trembled a little.

"The concubine greets the emperor."

"Concubine Ai doesn't have to be polite, it's so late, and she hasn't rested yet?"

Concubine Bai Xian lowered her head slightly, revealing a white neck, and said a little shyly and timidly: "The concubine has nothing to do, so she came to make a bed for the emperor." ”

"Bedclothes? Didn't you just make a cloak, the light is not good at night, it hurts your eyes, don't do it. Well? ”

Emperor Hong Zheng's gentleness is a temptation that no concubine can resist. Concubine Bai Xian was led into the inner room by Emperor Hong Zheng, and after a while, the candle flame was holographic, and only a little murmuring was heard, which was particularly clear in the quiet night.

Kunning Palace.

Queen Jiang had already changed into homely clothes, stood in front of a table of snacks, and looked at the door from time to time.

There are a lot of things going on today, and it is normal for the emperor to come later, but Empress Jiang always feels uneasy, as if there is something beyond her control.

Finally, the figure shook, but there was no familiar sound of "the emperor has arrived".

Empress Jiang looked at it fixedly, it turned out to be Yao Hibiscus, and hurriedly raised her voice: "Yao Hibiscus, where is the emperor?" ”

Yao Hibiscus walked in quickly, and waved her hand to let the palace people who were waiting to stand down. Looking at the eager Empress Jiang, she opened her mouth with a little difficulty: "Niangniang, the emperor will not come over today." ”

"Why? Did Dugujia confess? The emperor is busy? ”

Yao Jin knew that she couldn't hide it, and the whole harem would know about it tomorrow, so she gritted her teeth and said, "No, it's the emperor who went to Xianfu Palace." ”

Empress Jiang didn't react for a while, and it took a long time before she said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, have you gone to Xianfu Palace?" ”

Yao Jin couldn't bear it, and looked at Queen Jiang's instantly withered expression, lowered her head and said nothing.

Empress Jiang grabbed Yao Hibiscus's hand suddenly, and her phoenix eyes widened: "Is it that the emperor was invited away by Bai Sisi before you arrived?" ”

Yao Jin's eyes were a little pity, and she shook her head and said, "The emperor went to Xianfu Palace after the slave maid asked Gonggong An to pass the word. ”

Empress Jiang let go of her hands and sat down on the chair.

If it was before Yao Jin went, he could still deceive himself, but now it is clearly the emperor's face.

Since she entered the palace, every year on the emperor's birthday festival, she will rest in Kunning Palace to show respect for the queen. This is the first time, resting in the palace of other concubines.

It can be imagined that when other concubines come to ask for peace tomorrow, how embarrassed she, the queen of the main palace, will be!

Queen Jiang was angry, anxious and hateful, and pushed all the things on the table to the ground. There was a chaotic sound of "crackling", and the room suddenly became chaotic.

"Why! Why did the emperor do this to me? ”

Looking at Queen Jiang who was crying on the table, Yao Jin instructed her henchmen to clean up the ground, and gestured to Yao Meng and Yao Qi.

The three of them helped Queen Jiang to the inner hall, and they were busy working together to fetch water and freshen up.

After Empress Jiang calmed down a little, Yao Jin knelt down and said, "Niangniang, I'm afraid it's today's matter, and the emperor is suspicious of Niangniang." Niangniang has to cheer up and come up with countermeasures quickly. ”

"How could the emperor know that the palace people didn't blame Chen Qingqing for everything?"

Yao Meng also said: "Niangniang, although Xiaoying is dead, there is no proof of death. But this time the time was in a hurry, and there were some accidents halfway, so the emperor was inevitably suspicious. ”

Empress Jiang's eyes were red and swollen, staring at Yao Meng, and said in a deep voice: "Say! Why did the accident happen? ”

Yao Meng smiled bitterly: "Cao Zhi is just a rough palace maid, the first time she killed someone, and she was the noblewoman of the palace who killed, she was inevitably afraid." So he didn't strangle Yan Changle, but just strangled her unconscious, Xiao Ying strangled Cao Zhi to death, and after calling for help, he found that Yan Changle was not dead. I had to strangle it again, and there would be no time to hide the whip. ”

"Rubbish! Rubbish! It's all a bunch of rubbish! It's all your good thing that broke the palace, and the palace killed you! ”

As long as Empress Jiang remembered that she had lost her troops tonight and used all the internal resources that had been dormant for many years, Zhong Taojiao was unharmed, and she was very angry.

Yao Jin and Yao Qi hurriedly begged: "Niangniang, you are now at the time of employing people, Yao Meng's martial arts are strong, you can't kill it!" ”

Yao Meng was originally a child of the rivers and lakes, and when she was chased and killed by the enemy, she had to be rescued by Jiang Cheng before she entered the palace to protect Queen Jiang. In his bones, he is naturally not as good as the Yao Hibiscus and Yao Period servility who have served Jiang Yue since childhood.

"Queen Mother, the slave maid said at the beginning that it is too risky to do it on Halloween."

Yaojin hurriedly came to pull Yaomeng's hand, wanting to stop her from talking, but was thrown away, and continued: "Besides, the Zhong family is not an unknown person, it is the mother who insists on doing it. Now Niangniang should be glad that Xiaoying did not confess to Niangniang, otherwise, Niangniang still doesn't know how! ”

It's no wonder that Yao Meng bumped into Queen Jiang, she went out of the palace this time and learned that her life-saving benefactor Jiang Cheng was dead.

And Xiao Ying was originally a fellow villager of Yaomeng, and she had been favored by Yaomeng, so even if she was tortured, she insisted on Chen Guifei and did not confess to Queen Jiang.

Yao Meng secretly took a look at Xiao Ying's corpse, which was covered in scaly wounds and miserable. I was already sad in my heart, Queen Jiang was still angry, how could she bear it?

Empress Jiang was so angry that her eyes were red, and she roared: "Come on, pull out the palace and beat you with thirty sticks!" ”

Yaomeng didn't say a word, and went straight to follow the grandmother who came in to be punished.

Yao Hibiscus and Yao Qi were relieved, and then Queen Jiang lay down. Compared with the melancholy wind and rain of Kunning Palace, Cining Palace is much happier.
