Chapter 155: The Divine Decree of the First Emperor
Duo Yi took Concubine Liu Gui to the imperial study, at this time Zhuge Yue, who was standing at the door, saw that the mother concubine was carried by several eunuchs and walked like a prisoner, not to mention how surprised, the emperor and the king of Wei in the imperial study were chatting, the two were chatting about their expectations for the child, Zhuge Sheng also hoped that he could have a child soon, Zhuge Ke also expressed his hope that his child could come to this world safely, both of them had their own calculations in their hearts, Zhuge Ke calculated that at this time, the companion should have run with Meng Meng on the way to the next stronghold, he has not yet been convicted, It should be like that to catch it with great fanfare, give Meng Meng more time, in his new base, whether to stay for a while and then go or continue to hurry, it is up to them, the road has been paved, and the next thing is what Zhuge Ke can't help; And Zhuge Sheng is thinking, your child can't get out, and he won't be able to go through this world.
Zhuge Yue was taken to the imperial study with his mother and Yelu Duoyi, and it was really hot to stand outside for a long time, Zhuge Ke at this time seemed to have seen through it, suddenly stood up without speaking, walked to his mother and took away the eunuch's hand on the concubine, laughed softly and sighed, it was still coming.
"Your Majesty, I have found the rope hook on the heel of the shoe that climbed over the wall that day." Yelu Duoyi put the results in front of Zhuge Sheng.
"Where's the palace maid?" Zhuge Sheng asked expressionlessly.
"Outside, the concubine feels that His Majesty needs to call her in again, so as not to stain His Majesty's eyes, and the mastermind has also recruited herself, and she wants to come to face the saint, so there is no need to come in if she takes some little Luo Luo who is just doing business." Yelu Duoyi pointed to Concubine Liu Gui.
"Oh? Who is the mastermind? Zhuge Sheng looked at the concubine and actually laughed and asked, "It won't be the concubine, right?" ”
"There is no word for the sin you want to add." Concubine Liu Gui has seen a lot of such things in this palace, there was a first emperor to protect her mother and son, in the eyes of the first emperor, although the queen is a remnant of the heir, but Zhuge Sheng is different, he is the best candidate for the virtuous monarch in the eyes of the first emperor, the eldest son inherits the unification, no one is dissatisfied, it seems that the first emperor also has the wrong time, Zhuge Sheng used to pretend to be really good, and now he still reveals his true nature.
"Oh? In this way, the concubine did not plead guilty. "Zhuge Sheng is ready to take the life of this lady today, of course, including the unknown Princess Wei, originally he promised Ling'er that he could keep Princess Wei, but he didn't want Princess Wei to have a child in her belly, which would be a scourge in the future, and now his attitude towards East China is also ambiguous, and he has not thought about whether to continue to normalize diplomatic relations between the two countries. And Shi Mi, who is now like a lost dog and a madman, has gone to chase Princess Wei, and it is estimated that it is more than lucky, he raises Shi Mi like raising a mad dog, with the forbidden army, doing some things that the master and the fifth uncle will not do for him at all, and they can't do it.
"Emperor, you have just ascended the throne, have you sat firmly on the throne, why are you in such a hurry to kill the heirs of the first emperor, the whole palace of the King of Qi has been slaughtered by you, won't it hurt to touch your conscience? Aren't you scared to sleep in the middle of the night?! "The noble concubine didn't say anything about the queen mother, there is nothing to quibble, the emperor wants to take that as an excuse, and no one can do it.
"The King of Qi rebelled, and you are the Queen Mother, and everyone knows the heart of rebellion." Zhuge Sheng has already decided the case.
"The concubine hopes that you will only kill me for the sake of your brothers, let go of your two younger brothers, and I will die." Concubine Liu Gui wants to abandon the car to protect the handsome, and there is always hope for keeping her son here.
"What if I don't agree." Zhuge Sheng had no such plans. What's the use of killing her, her life and death are not as important as her son's life and death, this deal will not work.
"Get down on your knees! I have the decree of the first emperor in my hand! Concubine Liu Gui took out a yellow dragon-patterned brocade cloth from her arms, everyone knelt down when they saw it, and Concubine Liu Gui read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said: I have a thin life of children and grandchildren in my life, and I hope that no matter who the new monarch succeeds to the throne in the future, you are not allowed to mutilate your siblings. Don't come to see me under the Nine Springs! Concubine Liu Gui turned over after reading this holy decree and showed it to Zhuge Sheng, Zhuge Sheng's eyes were full of hatred in his eyes who were kneeling on the ground, this is really the holy decree left by the first emperor, and there are a room of people in the house, and he doesn't want to bear the charge of disrespecting the holy decree of the first emperor.
"Okay, very good, why didn't the concubine take out this holy decree when King Qi rebelled, now I want to move you and your son, you are afraid, you take good care of this holy decree, if you lose it, you can't protect your son's life!" Zhuge Sheng laughed angrily, stood up and sat back in his original position. "Father and Emperor threaten me with the Taimiao, you'd better be honest, the provincial I will catch the handle! Come! Kill that palace maid, the murderer of the Queen Mother, and throw it to the mass grave! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Liu Gui knelt down with her two sons and kowtowed. This life can be regarded as being saved at this time, or the first emperor has foresight and saved her mother's life.
"Zhuge Yue still went back to East China to continue to be a proton, and from now on, he will not be able to return to Nanyue without a call, let alone enter Panyu! Zhuge Ke has been thinking about it behind closed doors in the palace for a month! Concubine Liu Gui will be a monk in the palace in the future. "Zhuge Sheng doesn't execute them, they don't want to go in their hearts, there is no place for that evil breath to come out, and if they are executed, they are afraid that they really can't enjoy the Taimiao.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The three of them made another big salute, kowtowed, and came out of the imperial study alive.
Concubine Liu Gui held the holy decree in her hand, her legs were shaking all the time, even if there would be such a day before the first emperor's death, but even if Zhuge Sheng did not succeed today, there will still be a future, and the days to come are just better, this holy decree will not be guaranteed for a while.
The ladies and sisters walked on the road together, Zhuge Ke supported the concubine, and the concubine held Zhuge Yue on the other side, only to see the concubine whisper to Zhuge Ke: "Where is the princess?" ”
"It's missing, Your Majesty has sent someone to look for it." Zhuge Ke still replied. No matter who listens to it, there is nothing wrong with Zhuge Sheng, and now he really can't be asked to grab any handles.
Concubine Liu Gui understood that Zhuge Ke told her to run away in advance, and smiled: "Did you quarrel, why did you disappear?" ”
"Erchen spoiled a servant girl last night, and she was jealous, so jealous! Don't! "What Zhuge Ke said seems to be true.
"King Wei still has to chase the princess." The concubine didn't say that she wanted him to bring the princess back, but just said that she wanted him to chase the princess, the intention was obvious, that is, you go after her, you run together! Don't come back, Panyu City can't accommodate their mother and son.
"Mother concubine......" Zhuge Ke understood. It's just that this time if he and Zhuge Yue took Mengmeng to East China, I don't know when I will see each other again, and I don't know if I can see each other again in this life, if I can't see each other again, this is the last time the mother and son will be together.
"The mother concubine has this holy decree, and the green lantern ancient Buddha in the future, rest assured." Concubine Liu Gui felt that as long as the two sons were well, her life and death did not matter. Besides, his own concubine really doesn't pose any threat to him.
"Yue'er will go to East China to be a proton today, your brother will go to your sister-in-law to see you off by the way, and Ke'er will think about it behind closed doors when he comes back." The concubine whispered.
The lady stood at the separation between the harem and the vestibule, the concubine's tears couldn't be stopped, and she didn't dare to cry loudly, gritted her teeth and smiled and drove her two sons away, and left quickly before Zhuge Sheng regretted it.
Zhuge Ke also knew that it was powerful, and pulled Zhuge Yue to make a big salute with his mother, kowtowed three times, turned around and left, and didn't dare to go back, the concubine stood in front of the corner gate of the harem, holding back tears to watch her sons go out of the palace, this time is no different from saying goodbye, but as long as the sons can live, they will be satisfied.
After entering the harem, the concubine came and took away almost all the things in her room, leaving only a table, a bench, and a bed necessary for life, and the concubine would only have these things in the future, a room. Then another sister-in-law came to shave her, and the people around her also left two old people to accompany her. Concubine Shu lives next door to her, the relationship between the two was not very good before, this time seeing her like this, I really worried about myself, although my son has always been a princeling, and now he is loyal to the emperor, but... The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, and she is also very worried about herself and her son.
Zhuge Ke knew that Shi Mi was going to chase Mengmeng, so he pretended to send Zhuge Yue to East China, they were ready to divide the army into two ways to meet in East China, and there was at least a way to live in East China, and staying was really a dead end, Zhuge Sheng didn't even do anything, so he rushed to kill them all, which made people really chill, his father and emperor had only been a few months now, and the queen mother had just died, and no one in this world could control him.
"Brother, we won't be able to catch up with the post station if we leave now." Zhuge Yue looked at the noon sun, they didn't eat, Zhuge Yue was a little hungry, and there was only half a day left.
"Let's go, it's dark now, and it's not cold, let's run the horses in the middle of the night." Zhuge Ke took Zhuge Yue and hurried up.
"You! Go back and tell the mansion that Lone will send Yue'er and chase the princess back. "Zhuge Ke sent someone back to send a letter, and he also sent a letter to His Majesty, so as not to leave him any handle, after all, their mother concubine is still in Zhuge Sheng's hands.
The two brothers rode a horse together, Zhuge Yue was too young to ride a horse by himself for a day, Zhuge Ke held Yue'er in his arms, and the brothers began their escape journey.
"Brother, it's so dangerous today, is it almost like we all died?" Zhuge Yue asked him in Zhuge Ke's arms. Born in the royal family, Zhuge Yue is also a little more precocious than children of the same age, but the days of being a proton in East China are also more free and happy than the palace in Nanyue, at least he is safe.
"Yes, I didn't even know that the concubine still had this hand, and I knew that Zhuge Sheng couldn't tolerate us like this, and you shouldn't come back from East China." Zhuge Ke looked ahead, for fear that someone would come to chase them if he ran slowly.
"Shall we go find my sister-in-law?" Zhuge Yue asked.
"Don't look for it, it's safer for the soldiers to be divided into two ways, Shi Mi shouldn't be able to find her for the time being, if we take her and are caught by Shi Mi, it's hard to say, now my brother is sending you to East China." Zhuge Ke was actually not very sure in his heart, but he had no way before entering East China.
Zhuge Sheng in the palace looked at Duo Yi with a cold face: "This is the result of my thousands of instructions?" This is what you gave me? ”
"Your Majesty, the concubines don't know that old woman and the holy decree of the first emperor!" Duo Yi was so frightened that she knelt down, wiping her tears and bringing rain to pear blossoms, Zhuge Sheng has slowly lost interest in her recently, no different from Concubine Hui Hui, once the novelty passes, the pleasure of cheating in the valley is gone, there is a saying that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing! All that's left is to see if Duo Yi can be useful to him, and if he has it, he will continue, and if not, he can only leave the harem and intrigue with those women.
"Poor work! Didn't you know to search her in the palace before she came! Coming out of the Beimeng Palace, I don't have any experience at all?! How did you end up living in North Mongolia! "Zhuge Sheng has obviously seen Duoyi's ability to do things, and now there is really only disgust left! Duo Yi was very scared in her heart, looking at Zhuge Sheng's eyes looking at herself, she didn't even have a trace of pity, it was very different from the days when she first came to Nanyue, how could the ruthlessness of an emperor come so fast, the fast Duo Yi didn't dare to think that her revenge had not been avenged, and she must not fall out of favor.
"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and the concubine will make Your Majesty's wish come true!" Duo Yi was scared and anxious.
"Wish? What a wish! Zhuge Sheng simply thought what she said was ridiculous.
"The concubine has the pregnancy inducing decoction prescription given to me by my mother, dedicated to Your Majesty and the queen!" Duo Yi was anxious, she had no revenge, how could she fall out of favor, so she had to hold the emperor's heart, the needle at the bottom of the sea was the same, it was better to be the empress herself, at least don't try your best to please her.
"Don't take it out early! Leave it to the Imperial Doctor, and you can go down. Zhuge Sheng's plan was in vain, and he was very irritable.
"Your Majesty, let the concubines lead some people out and solve the two brothers." Duo Yi is no longer willing to stay in the harem and fight with those ordinary women, and more women will come in soon, according to Zhuge Sheng's attitude towards himself, fighting with those women, and in the end, he can't even get a piece of the pie.
“…… Rong Zhen thought again. Zhuge Sheng was still thinking about the holy decree.
"If the concubine takes someone to do it, she will definitely not let someone catch the handle, and this matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty." Doi knelt on the ground and prayed.
"You go back first, Rong Zhen thinks about it, this matter has to be discussed in the long run. On the cusp of the storm, killing them will not do me any good. It will always arouse the suspicion of others. "Zhuge Sheng is also weighing the pros and cons of prioritization, to kill or not to kill, to kill now or to kill later.
"Your Majesty, the concubines know some swordsmanship, no worse than men, these things are not as suitable as the four masters and the five masters." Duo Yi stood up, and after speaking, he retreated, leaving the distraught Zhuge Sheng.
"Someone!" Zhuge Sheng shouted outside the door.
"Your Majesty!" It was the personal little eunuch who came in.
"Commander Ye, is there any news?" Zhuge Sheng asked.
"Not ...... yet," the little eunuch replied and withdrew.
Zhuge Sheng flipped through the music in front of him, thinking in his heart that Zhuge Ke must have sent Princess Wei away, if she wanted to go, she would definitely go to East China, she was originally from East China, and she still wanted to run away with a child in her belly, but there was no door. Zhuge Ke must have made a plan to die last night, and sent his wife and children out first like Zhuge Lei, Zhuge Lei's wife and children have not been found until now, and Shi Mi is also a dry eater, and he is not effective! This Zhuge Lei didn't get off to a good start, these people always want to protect their wives and children!
"Your Majesty, the commander of the guard battalion asks to see you." The little eunuch shouted loudly outside the door.
"Xuan." As soon as Zhuge Sheng was about to watch the recital, the master came.
"Your Majesty, the minister checked those people today, the minister did not do his job well, there was no gain, everyone can be worthy of time and people who prove each other." The master sighed after speaking.
"Keep investigating, and if you investigate more carefully, I won't believe it! As long as you do it, you will be exposed. If this matter can't be found out, how can the harem be peaceful! Even I can't be at peace! "If you want to say that this poison is really frightening, it will be extinguished the next day, the silver needle is useless, and it is useless to try the food, then what else can be done!
"Yes, then the matter of the west wall will also be handed over to the minister, let's check it together, can the shoes and rope hooks of the palace maid of the noble concubine be given to the minister, the minister wants to take a look, maybe it will help the minister solve the case." The fourth master knew that it was definitely not the palace maid, but the emperor had to close the case, so he kept it to investigate slowly, but closed the case with the palace maid.
"Go get it, there's nothing new." Zhuge Sheng is not interested in these, and he doesn't know if Duo Yi really turned them out or where he created them.
"Commandment." After speaking, the fourth master withdrew.
Zhuge Sheng sat at the table by himself, like a deflated ball, he also wanted to know who had harmed the queen mother, and he had not been able to discuss some important matters that he couldn't make up his mind about now, at least the queen mother had already considered it for him, and what he gave himself was always just the answer, but now it's good, after he is really in charge, he is not adaptable. The queen is a standard version of the queen, and she can't be counted on, Duo Yi is a person who is not good at doing things, let alone Concubine Shuhui, the harem lacks someone who can talk to him.
Mengmeng's side also managed to run to the first foothold, in Pizhou City.
"Master, if the situation is good, I will continue to travel tomorrow, but if it is not good, I will rest here for a few more days." When Ah Cheng arrived in Pizhou City, he smelled the antidote to Mengmeng, and after Mengmeng slowly woke up, Ah Cheng hurriedly fed her a little water, and after a while, he made some food for Mengmeng from the kitchen.
"Where is this? It's still night, where did you ask you to take me, I want to go back to the palace. Meng Meng got up to leave.
"Master, the day I slept with you yesterday is not a day, the carriage that ran for a day, we are in Pizhou City." Ah Cheng stopped Meng Meng and hurriedly said.
"Pizhou City..."Meng Meng thought, "It's not far from Panyu, I'll go back and arrive overnight." ”
"Master, the master said that he can't go back no matter whether he lives or dies there, you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the son in your belly." Ah Cheng put the food on the table, "The master hasn't eaten for a day, let's eat some." ”
"Open the door, open the door, open the door!" There was a loud knock on the door, Ah Cheng was alert, and hurriedly said, "The master will go to the tunnel under the bed to hide first, and I'll open the door." ”
Meng Meng heard that she really hid in the tunnel under the bed, don't you really say it, you can hide here for ten days and half a month without going out, this underground is another world, there are beds and quilts in it, and there is food and drink. Zhuge Ke seemed to have been prepared, thinking that there would be such a day, people said that the three holes of the cunning rabbit were difficult for him.
After a while, Ah Cheng came to open the door of Meng Meng's tunnel and shouted inside: "Master, people are gone, come out." Meng Meng hurriedly crawled out of it.
"What's going on?" Meng Meng hurriedly asked, the food that Ah Cheng had just cooked for her on the table was also eaten, and the table was a mess.
"These brutes, or some kind of forbidden army, are just coming to you, saying that they are looking for a woman, and when they see that I have food and food, they don't care about it and eat it! If only before! Ah Cheng clenched his fists.
"It's okay, I see there's still food in the tunnel, I'll go down and get some dry food to eat." Meng Meng is ready to go down the tunnel again.
"No, the master will rest here for a while, Ah Cheng will go to burn it immediately, it will be good for a while, the master will wait patiently for a while, you will always have a hot mouth, you are pregnant, such conditions have already been disadvantaged to the son of the world and you, you can't go down to eat dry food, that is the last resort." Ah Cheng said as he cleaned up the table.
"Go ahead, I'll wait here." Mengmeng didn't embarrass him, and sat down to drink some water by herself.
After a while, Ah Cheng's freshly cooked rice and dishes were brought over again. Meng Meng was also really hungry, so she ate a lot of food, and just after a few bites, she saw Ah Cheng preparing to go out, and hurriedly called him: "Ah Cheng, where are you going?" Come and sit down and eat together. ”
"Master, you eat, I won't eat, there is still some food in the kitchen, I'll just go eat some." Ah Cheng turned his face and prepared to leave again.
"I order you, come and eat together!" Meng Meng doesn't want Ah Cheng to starve to death halfway, if she really goes to East China, there are still people to check, or protect yourself and Ah Cheng, if she is alone, how did she go to East China.
"Master......" Although Ah Cheng is considered to be a companion in the house, he also has a higher status than a slave, and he was found by Concubine Liu Gui's maiden family, and if he is in the Liu family, he will be considered a little young master.
"Let's eat." Meng Meng pointed to the chair opposite. Ah Cheng was no longer polite, and really sat down and ate two bites of food.
"Master, I'll go get some food from the kitchen." Ah Cheng got up and went out.
"Don't call me master, my nickname is Mengmeng, but when I'm out and about, let's play husband and wife, you call me Yueyue. I call you Ah Cheng. Mengmeng always listens to him call the master, and the master is uncomfortable.
"Hey, it's all pretty good... Monthly. Ah Cheng turned his face and went out, and after a while he came back with a bowl with only a little rice.
"Why do you eat so much! The road ahead depends on you to get to East China. Meng Meng beckoned to him and asked him to bring the bowl, Meng Meng gave her bowl to Ah Cheng and ate Ah Cheng's bowl by herself.
"Did Ah Ke explain anything to you last night?" Meng Meng is still worried about Zhuge Ke.
"Let me take you and Shizi back to East China, and if the situation is good, I will keep leaving, and if the situation is bad, I will stay for a few days, and then I will leave when the situation is good, and I will not say anything else." Ah Cheng recalled, as if he really didn't say anything more.
"Eat." Mengmeng also stopped talking, she respected Zhuge Ke's decision, now is not the time to make trouble, there are more rare things in her stomach than death, give birth to a son and raise him. How easy it is to die, but how difficult it is to survive. I don't know Zhuge Ke's current situation, let Ah Cheng go to the street tomorrow to see if there is a notice.
