Chapter 158: Love Me?
The first day of the first lunar month is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
It is also the most solemn festival as it marks the end of the old year and the beginning of the new one.
Originally, everyone was supposed to walk the streets and alleys in a lively and festive atmosphere.
But now the people in the capital, and even the princes and nobles, are honestly huddled at home, not daring to go out.
Although the incident of forcing the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve took place in the hot spring palace, there were also janissaries walking around in the capital, and everyone knew that something was going to happen.
Later, the watchman who patrolled the night at the time of the child also specially reminded the curfew, and everyone did not dare to move, and stayed quietly at home, waiting for the latest news.
Those fights are often the game of the superiors, who are usually passively accepted.
Although they didn't know who was making trouble, everyone silently hoped that Emperor Jin Rui would not lose.
After all, since he ascended the throne, life has been better.
From time to time, the cries from outside made everyone tremble.
Willow Branch.
"My lord, this is it."
"Search!"
Unexpectedly, the door opened automatically, and there was a beautiful woman with a slightly convex lower abdomen standing inside, and a grandmother next to her.
The two stood in the courtyard, looking leisurely and complacent.
The commander of the Praetorian Guard was slightly stunned, and stepped forward and asked, "Is Tao Jingya ahead?" β
The name and address were provided by Princess Ning.
It seems that she hates this outer chamber very much.
The Janissary Commander continued: "This official is ordered to arrest today, and the accomplices who participated in King Ning's rebellion, you should not make senseless resistance!" β
"Jingya understands."
Tao Jingya responded calmly, and took a box from the grandmother beside her, "This is the correspondence exchanged between Yang Hao and his subordinates when he planned to rebel, and Wei Guangqing, who is in charge of external liaison, has been tied up in the firewood room, and my lord can bring people out with my family Ah Gui." β
She responded generously, without any fear at all.
Everyone was stunned.
They all saw Princess Ning in the other palace when she was taken away, with that hideous and terrifying appearance, and she didn't have the bearing of everyone in the high-ranking family at all.
Such a comparison makes a judgment.
I heard that Tao Jingya originally had a marriage contract with King Ning, but later I don't know how King Ning got involved with Prime Minister Sun's daughter.
Originally, King Ning also wanted to have both fish and bear's paws, saying that the two would marry together.
But the Tao family did not agree, and decisively withdrew from the marriage.
Tut-tut!
It can be seen that King Ning had the intention of rebellion at that time, and he was really a "far-sighted" person!
It's a pity that Tao Jingya is unlucky.
Later, the Tao family committed an accident and was beheaded all over the house, and it didn't take long for her husband's family to have an accident.
The person who went to investigate and deal with it was Prime Minister Sun's protΓ©gΓ©.
Now it seems that the water inside is muddy!
Although he admires and sympathizes with the person in front of him, he still has to follow the rules.
The Janissary Commander hesitated, not knowing what to call it.
"Madame..."
"You can call me Miss Tao."
Commander of the Praetorian Guard: "Miss Tao, since you are also involved in this matter, I would like to ask you to go back with us." β
"Okay."
At this time, under the leadership of Ah Gui, the people who went to arrest Wei Guangqing also returned.
After Wei Guangqing saw Tao Jingya, he struggled hard, but he couldn't break free at all, and could only whine with his blocked mouth.
Gui: "Girl! β
Tao Jingya didn't look at it, turned her head and said with a smile: "Ah Gui, let's go!" β
When they were taken into the prison, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, they actually passed by King Ning's cell.
"Jingya? Why are you here?! β
King Ning immediately shouted to the commander of the Praetorian Guard: "She is pregnant, you must treat her well, you must know that the imperial uncle attaches the most importance to the royal heir, you can't bully her!" β
These words made Princess Ning, who was in the cell next to her, almost explode her lungs when she heard it.
"Yang Hao, you are still protecting this slut!"
"We planned so well that we were foolproof, but why did we fall short?"
"Needless to say, someone must have leaked the news!"
"It must be this slut!"
King Ning immediately retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about! β
"Jingya is still pregnant with my flesh and blood, and she spreads the news, what good is it for her?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you jealous woman!"
"Ahh
The conversation between the two reminded Tao Jingya, and she suddenly let out an exclamation.
"Jingya, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? King Ning nervously grabbed the fence in the cell and yelled at the commander of the guards: "Go and ask the imperial doctor!" β
The commander of the Praetorian Guard immediately looked at Tao Jingya.
What King Ning said just now was right.
Due to the withering of royal heirs, Emperor Jin Rui attached great importance to every royal descendant.
Before, when they caught Yang Bo's pregnant side concubine in King Ning's mansion, Emperor Jin Rui specially asked Gonggong Gao to order him to settle it well.
Tao Jingya smiled and said, "Don't be so troublesome, Ah Gui, you can help me." β
"Yes."
Ah Gui walked behind Tao Jingya.
At this time, Princess Ning suddenly shouted, "Are you Mama Gui?!" How did you end up by Tao Jingya's side?! β
Tao Jingya said with a smile on her face: "Ah Gui was originally my maid, why can't she be by my side?" β
"What? Your maid?! This is impossible, Mama Gui has served by my mother's side for more than ten years, how can she be your maid? β
It's just that Tao Jingya and Ah Gui are not interested in answering her questions.
"Hello girl."
Ah Gui helped Tao Jingya remove the strap around her waist.
"Okay."
As soon as the voice fell, something fell out of Tao Jingya's body.
Everyone present stared at what was on the ground.
It was a thin pillow.
Tao Jingya bent down and picked up the thin pillow, "I'm going to put this away well, and I can use it as a seat cushion when I sit down for a while." β
King Ning was shocked when he learned the truth.
He was desperate and miserable, and his whole being was about to collapse.
Originally, he still kept a back hand, because he knew the character of Emperor Jin Rui very well.
He believed that even if the operation failed, Emperor Jin Rui would at most imprison him somewhere and would not take his life.
After all, Yang Ren, who murdered the prince before, also ended like this.
King Ning originally thought that even if he was locked up, as long as there were children and grandchildren, there would be hope, Tao Jingya was a smart woman, and she would definitely find a way to save herself.
Who knows......
He glared at Tao Jingya with hatred in his eyes.
"YouβYou lied to me?!"
Princess Ning on the other side laughed, looking like a crazy crazy woman.
"I said she was here for revenge, but you still don't believe it?! Now the retribution is coming, hahaha! β
"Shut up!"
Tao Jingya admired the embarrassed appearance of the two of them, and said to the commander of the guards on the side, "My lord, which cell should I go to?" β
The commander of the Praetorian Guard, who came back to his senses, hurriedly said, "Please." β
At this time, King Ning, who suddenly sobered up, shouted angrily: "Tao Jingya, this king loves you so much, and even promised to make you the queen, why do you treat me like this?!" β
Tao Jingya, who was walking forward, stopped.
She looked back at King Ning, and an astonishing chill and hatred welled up in her eyes.
"Love me?"
"If I love me, I will carefully set up a situation, so that my Tao family will be beheaded, and will my husband die without a place to be buried?"
