Chapter 154: The Hongmen Banquet
Yelu Duoyi didn't sleep well this night, how to do it, and when he checked tomorrow, he must bring those shoes with him, and then plant the blame when the time is right, now Duoyi has no exact person in his heart, but the mastermind is decided, and the others are just looking for a scapegoat, who is not looking for it.
It was not only Yelu Duoyi himself who didn't sleep well this night, but also Zhuge Ke and Mengmeng.
"Your Majesty announced that we will enter the palace together tomorrow morning, and I always muttered in my heart." Zhuge Ke always had a bad premonition.
"We didn't do anything, you still helped him out of the siege in the court." Meng Meng felt that it should not be.
"I just entered the palace, why did I still take you with me, you haven't been out for a long time, haven't you always said that you are in the palace to protect the fetus. I don't ask, I just want to get up early tomorrow and enter the palace. Zhuge Ke was thinking of a perfect strategy, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, what kind of perfect strategy did he have in his hands now, nothing.
"Ah Ke, I have been married to your family for so long, and I can feel your sincerity towards me. I know that you used to love Ling'er, and after you got married, I can feel that you are so good to me, and I am very satisfied. "Meng Meng is actually worried that tomorrow will be a Hongmen banquet, so today I will say everything that can be said first, and I will not leave regrets in the future, even if I really die tomorrow, it will be worth it.
"Ling'er talked to me before marrying you, at that time I could feel her desperation, she is the kind of girl who loves and is vigorous, and letting go is really letting go, not dragging mud and water, without a trace of nostalgia, when she began to be a letter friend, I can feel the slow changes in her heart, I can read it at a glance if I like it or not, even if it is between the lines of the letter, I can read my mind." Zhuge Ke held Mengmeng in his arms and told the past, he was afraid that he would not have a chance to say another after tomorrow: "Later, my mother suddenly wrote to me to ask me to come back, I couldn't bear it at that time, but I couldn't tell her a word, so I disappeared." As I disappeared, there was also her liking for me, and when we met again, all I felt was her coldness. She likes you, you can feel it, she likes it warmly, it's warm; If she doesn't like you, you can feel it even more, and she doesn't like it from the bottom of her heart, it's very cold. ”
"When you go back to him, she already has Qi Rong, how can she have any nostalgia for you." Meng Meng still knows some things at that time.
"To miss is forever, fortunately I met you again, in my life, it is enough to get your sincerity and love, and the warmth you give makes me feel a different home." Zhuge Ke is also the kind of person who can afford to let go, let go of his love for Ling'er, and devote himself to the arms of Mengmeng.
"You've treated me really well, thank you, Ke." Meng Meng leaned on Zhuge Ke's arms and hugged him with her hand.
"If the rest of your life is going to be long, then please advise; If the rest of your life is short, please protect yourself and your children. Zhuge Ke made up his mind to send Meng Meng out.
"Ah Ke, I don't know what the situation will be tomorrow, I'm so worried if you say this now." Meng Meng sat up from Zhuge Ke's arms and looked at him with a solemn face.
"I'll let you go out of the city in a while, you can go out with the edict, if I come back safely tomorrow, I will send someone to pick you up, if anything happens, you can take the child in your belly back to East China in a month." Zhuge Ke was a little choked up at the end, gritted his teeth, and held back his tears.
"If I don't leave, there will be no eggs under the nest, if you are gone, what is the meaning of my life, I will follow you if I identify you in this life." Mengmeng was reluctant to leave, and pulled Zhuge Ke's arm with her hand.
"Whether I'm here or not, you have to give birth to our baby well, and then train him to grow up, I think Ling'er in East China will be able to protect you and your child." I won't say that you will forget me like Ling'er, and then find love, these are your freedom, you can find it or not, but there is one point, you and your children have to be good, there is nothing else to ask for. Zhuge Ke put his cute hand into the palm of his big hand.
"I'm not leaving." Meng Meng loses her temper.
"I can't help you, Mengmeng." Zhuge Ke smelled something for her, Mengmeng fell asleep, Zhuge Ke put her flat on the bed, covered the quilt, and walked out.
"You send the princess to the house at the gate of the city overnight, and open the city gate tomorrow morning and be the first to go out of the city and go to East China." Zhuge Ke's premonition in his heart is getting worse and worse, if Zhuge Sheng finds them something, he will definitely tell them in advance, now this means that it is obvious that the Hongmen banquet is over, and he will not give himself a chance at all.
"Lord Wang, let's go out to East China together!" He has been his personal companion since he was a child, and he is reluctant to leave Zhuge Ke.
"Nonsense, everyone can't get to East China if you run like this, whether I enter the palace or live or die, you can rest assured to go back to East China." Zhuge Ke knows that there is more luck and less luck, and there is still a glimmer of hope for Mengmeng to return to East China, if he also runs away, Zhuge Sheng is bound to recover his own.
"Don't you want to avoid it in Zhuangzi?" Companion should hold on to the hope that there will be no major events tomorrow.
"No, it's safer to go to East China as soon as possible. There are just two of you, it's not eye-catching, Mengmeng's stomach is not obvious now, and it's more convenient to check. I've told you all the footholds on the way to the north, only you know and I know, they are all new secret locations when you come back from East China, if you check too closely, any location is enough for you to stay for a while. Zhuge Ke explained in detail.
"Lord Wang......" Companion was extremely sad, "Is there really no glimmer of hope?" ”
"Perhaps, if I'm okay, I'll go to you myself." Zhuge Ke's words were to comfort him and himself: "Now the princess in the belly of the princess is my only hope." You take this bottle of medicine, and you will wake up when you go out of the city tomorrow to smell it for the princess, and if she is disobedient, she must not call her back, let alone call her the son in the stomach of the injured, think more about the son. ”
Companion knelt down and kowtowed to Zhuge Ke a few times, took the sleeping Mengmeng out of the back door, hid in a carriage, and set off to a suite at the gate of the city.
On the morning of the second day, Zhuge Ke deliberately waited until the last hour of the regulations before entering the palace, wanting to leave more time for Meng Meng to escape, so that after they arrived at the first foothold at night today, someone would chase and kill them and leave later, and no one would chase and kill them and continue to hurry tomorrow.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Zhuge Ke entered the imperial study and calmly made a big gift to Zhuge Sheng.
"Ah Ke, where is my brother and sister?" Zhuge Sheng was obviously displeased.
"Back to Your Majesty, Mengmeng disappeared last night, I hope Your Majesty's ministers can go to find the princess." Zhuge Ke lied as if it were true.
"Missing? How did it go missing? Why didn't you report it last night! Zhuge Sheng still looked at Zhuge Ke with an iceberg face, and wanted to read something from his face!
"The minister slept with a servant girl last night, and he didn't want to be cute and jealous, so he left angrily, and the minister began to think that she was playing a temper, and he didn't find anyone this morning, and it seemed that he was really missing...... "Zhuge Ke said and lay on the ground and didn't dare to get up.
"And such a thing?!" Zhuge Sheng won't believe his evil: "Go and find Commander Ye!" ”
After a while, Shi Mi walked in from outside. Seeing Zhuge Ke kneeling on the ground, he made a big salute to Zhuge Sheng.
"Princess Wei is missing, send the forbidden army to find it! Live to meet people! Zhuge Sheng commanded.
"The minister obeys the order, dare to ask, when did you disappear?" Shi Mi turned his face and asked Zhuge Ke.
"Disappeared last night." Zhuge Ke hurriedly replied.
"Princess Wei is still an old acquaintance of the minister, and the minister will definitely find him." Shi Mi finished speaking and walked out.
"Sixth brother, get up, sit down, let's talk, don't worry, women are jealous and jealous, and when I find her, I will abolish her, which one do you like to marry." Zhuge Sheng waited for Duoyi to send him the fruit over, and executed their mother and son together, Zhuge Yue was also waiting outside the imperial study this morning, and today's Hongmen banquet has to wait for Yelu Duoyi to open. This girl, she gave her a very clear hint last night, she won't tell herself to wait too long, no matter what the truth is, let's get rid of the mother and son first, and the real murderer can be investigated slowly in the future.
Yelu Duoyi was excited last night and didn't sleep all night, and she was still excited when she got up in the morning, loyal to this hurdle, and in the future in the Nanyue Palace, she had to help Zhuge Sheng give advice on how to attack East China and help her return to Northern Mongolia.
Yelu Duoyi took many palace people and took the token given by the emperor to the palace of the concubine first.
"Go, call me all the palace maids and eunuchs who are not on duty to the front hall." Yelu Duoyi took the token and slapped it on the table, and Concubine Shu stood next to her, and she didn't salute Concubine Shu anymore. The nostrils of the concubine have been going out with fire.
"Sister Shufei, offended, Your Majesty asked the concubine to investigate the case, and the concubine will be the first to come to Sister Shufei's palace to prove your innocence!" Duo Yi is sitting, Concubine Shu is standing, Concubine Shu's eyes can eat people now, "Sister, there are so many palace maids and eunuchs in your palace, do you have a booklet, I want to compare them one by one, and I hope my sister will cooperate." ”
Concubine Shu didn't speak, she took the roster from the hand of the palace maid behind her and handed it to Duo Yi, Duo Yi looked at the servant girl behind Concubine Shu and shouted: "Why don't you go and stand over there, you dog slave, you can't become a master!" ”
The maid didn't say a word, a good man didn't eat the loss in front of him, and obediently walked to the people waiting in line.
"Go down and search their rooms first; Search them; You guys, go and ask your Majesty to climb a tree with the size you said! Duo Yi faced the people he brought, divided into three waves, and got busy.
If you want to say that this palace maid and eunuch, how can there be such a clean person, the searched and the searched are not clean, and after a while, the searched waist is full, and some of the searched ones can be kept by themselves, and those who can't be kept are quickly handed over to expose them. The things that were given and entrained privately were all searched, and Duo Yi didn't have time to do this, so she handed over all the things to Concubine Shu: "In front of the minions, I hope that Concubine Shu's mother is not partial, and there is the entrainment of Concubine Shu's eldest maid in this pile of things." Let's go! "Duo Yicai has no spare time here to watch Concubine Shu dispose of the minions, she wants to hurry up to complete the task assigned by His Majesty.
After Duo Yi left, Concubine Shu angrily gave the maid a few slaps, and dealt with those who had entrainment and private teaching. In the Hui Concubine Palace, where Duo Yi went to the next stop, she also followed the example of going to Concubine Shu, and beat Concubine Hui straight to the point of anger. The queen Na Duoyi didn't dare to disturb, and went directly to the concubine left by the first emperor.
At the beginning, I still went to search people and things in a low-ranking place, and I didn't gain much, thinking about these people, I was also pitiful, and I didn't embarrass them too much, so I went to Concubine Liu Gui, the eldest concubine in the current concubine, and Duo Yi didn't save face for her, so she went to search the room in person. found the rope hook and the pair of shoes used in the crime, Duo Yi deliberately paid attention to the shoes on the ground when she searched the room, found a pair of shoes about the size of her own feet and put them away, and then asked someone to search them out, which really became a stolen thing.
"Guifei Niangniang, what is this?" Duoyi asked knowingly.
"I don't know what this upstart said, I haven't seen it." Concubine Liu Gui has been in the palace for so many years, and she must not be easily fooled.
"This is something that was found in your personal maid's room, don't you want to explain?" Duo Yi looked at her with a smile.
"Go and ask her in her room, and ask me what I do." Concubine Liu Gui took a string of beads and recited Buddhist scriptures.
"Bring her here!" Duo Yi looked at this palace maid who had a voice and feet similar to herself, trembling and kneeling on the ground, glad that this person was like herself except for her face, which was really a good thing, and it was effortless.
"It's not a slave's thing, slaves don't have it." The little palace maid trembled vigorously, and finally cried: "The slave really has nothing, this is not the slave's." ”
"What did you do on the night of the Queen Mother's thief?" Yerodor also pretended to ask. Originally, she wanted to ask who the mastermind was, but then it was too obvious to think about it, no, no, no, she had to change it and grasp her whereabouts that night.
"The slave and maid have been staying with the concubine's door and keeping vigil." Ever since the little palace maid knew that it was from her room, she had been trembling non-stop, and the fear of death made her unable to stop at all.
"Oh? Your own vigil? Jerodoyi seemed to have found something.
"The concubine is not a person who has a lot of things, she is a vigil every night." The little palace maid continued to explain, saving a glimmer of life.
"That is, no one can prove that you kept vigil all the time and didn't run out in between?" From the very beginning, Jerodoyi had been digging a pit, and whatever she said was wrong.
"The slave has been keeping vigil, and she hasn't been anywhere!" The little palace maid almost collapsed, and Concubine Liu Gui had been reciting Buddhist scriptures.
"You are a little palace maid, why do you still harm the Queen Mother, say! Who instructed you! Doyi finally got to the point.
"No, the slave doesn't, this is not the slave's, and the slave didn't do anything to harm the queen mother." The little palace maid kowtowed vigorously on the ground, kowtowed vigorously, and her forehead was already bleeding.
"Do you think that if you don't say it, I won't be able to tell you?" Doyi smiled.
"Don't torture her, take me to your majesty!" Concubine Liu Gui can be regarded as understanding.
"Take it away!" That's what Duo Yi was waiting for, and when she got to His Majesty, she didn't have to run.
