Raccoon yarn from ramie (17)

In the Weiyang Palace.

Queen Dou's personal maidservant Scarlet Sakura took a duster to sweep the dust on the Bogu shelf, Queen Dou entered the hall, Scarlet Sakura's hand slammed into it, and a jade Buddha on the Bogu shelf fell violently and smashed to the ground.

Scarlet Sakura's face was flustered, and she knelt down in front of Queen Dou and kowtowed,

"The queen mother spares her life, the slave didn't mean it, please let the queen mother open the net."

Queen Dou squatted down, picked up a piece of debris, and looked sad,

"This is a gift from Zheng Jieyu before her death, how can you be so careless."

Scarlet Sakura kowtowed,

"The slave knows her mistake, beg the queen to be gracious, and ask the queen to be gracious."

Queen Dou lowered her eyes and sighed,

"If it is the next thing in the palace, it will not be mentioned, but this is Zheng Jieyu who felt sorry for the palace before her death, and sent a son Guanyin, and now Zheng Jieyu is gone, where do you let the palace find a jade Buddha given by Zheng Jieyu?"

Empress Dou picked up the fragment with her own hands and held it in her hand,

"You knelt in front of the hall all night, meditated on your mistakes, and piously confessed your mistakes to comfort Zheng Jieyu's soul in the sky."

The scarlet cherry blossoms are sobbing, but they are still busy kowtowing,

"Thank you Niangniang, thank you Niangniang!"

The night is getting dark.

The metaphor of the urn often sees something that should not be seen, sometimes it is a bloody dress, sometimes it is a female ghost with long hair covering her face, and suddenly a white face is revealed when she pulls her long hair.

Urn Yu shrank in the corner, Scarlet Sakura took a food box, and sneaked into the prison of the Shen Punishment Division, and when Urn Yu saw a black figure coming, he shrank back in fright and slammed into the wall.

Scarlet Sakura hurriedly whispered,

"Princess, it's a slave, and a slave is a scarlet cherry."

Scarlet Sakura hurriedly opened the food box and pushed it in front of the urn,

"Princess, the slave has come to bring you food."

When the urn heard this, his trembling body loosened, and when he raised his eyes to look at the person, he saw that it was a scarlet cherry, and his clenched hand slowly loosened.

Scarlet Sakura hurriedly stuffed the chopsticks into the urn Yu's hand,

"Princess, eat quickly, it's not delicious if it's cold. Lo and behold, there is also the lotus cake you like to eat. ”

For Weng Yu, the food and treatment in prison are quite acceptable, but Queen Dou feels sorry for Weng Yu and has always sent people to deliver food to Wen Yu.

The cell was pitch black, and in the only bright window, a few rays of moonlight were thrown straight in, shining on Scarlet Sakura's face, and for a moment, Scarlet Sakura's face was as white as a ghost.

Wengyu screamed, and Scarlet Sakura hurriedly covered Wengyu's mouth.

There was a little hesitation, but he still said,

"Don't be afraid, princess, the slave and maid are here, and the ghosts don't dare to come."

Scarlet Sakura slowly let go of her hand and looked at the urn,

"Princess, do you have a trick to kill the palace chief?"

The urn shook his head desperately,

"I didn't, I didn't, she fell on her own, it has nothing to do with me."

The person outside the window turned slightly sideways.

Scarlet Sakura said word by word,

"Princess, don't you really have the trick to kill the palace chief?"

The urn trembled,

"It's not me, it's not me, she jumped on her own! It's she who wants to hurt me, she wants to hurt me! ”

Scarlet Sakura held Wengyu's hand, grabbed her hand, and let her hold the chopsticks tightly and stretched them out to the meal.

The urn kept trembling.

Scarlet Sakura Road,

"Princess, after eating this lotus cake, you will definitely be able to sleep peacefully tonight."

Weng Yu was grabbed by Scarlet Sakura's hand, and before Weng Yu could react, the pastry entered her mouth, and behind her neck, it was Scarlet Sakura's other hand, which grabbed the back of Scarlet Yu's neck, making Weng Yu raise his head and slam the lotus cake down.

Weng Yu choked a few times, covered his throat and collapsed.

Scarlet Sakura pulled off the hairpin and drew a bloody frost flower on the hand of the urn.

Yang Sheng stood under the high window, and Scarlet Sakura came out with a food box.

"Lord Wang, it's already done."

Yang Sheng raised his eyes,

"Queen, you know what to do, right?"

Scarlet Sakura Road,

"The slave knows."

Yang Sheng stood in the dark, the only ray of moonlight could be seen.

He looked at the urn, and the frost flowers on her hands were bright.

Gong Changjue must not be dead.

On the night of her death, he had seen a woman next to the Fangyuan Pond behind the Queen Mother's Palace, the moonlight fell, although it was impossible to distinguish the human face, but in an instant he saw the frost flower birthmark on the woman's hand, the same on the arm, without deviation, he wanted to catch up, but the woman noticed it, and disappeared in an instant.

Soon after, the Queen Mother decreed that the palace chief was crowned as a princess.

There must be a connection.

It's just that he can't guess why she faked her death.

YANG Shengdao,

"You have been lying dormant by the queen's side for five years, and the queen trusts you the most, no matter what you say, the queen will definitely listen to you."

Scarlet Sakura Road,

"Yes."

YANG Shengdao,

"But although the queen is cowardly, she is not a person who listens to her beliefs, if you persuade her, you must be cautious and do not show your feet."

Scarlet Sakura Road,

"Slave and maid remember."

"Lord Guan, Lord Guan wants you to recognize the queen as your mother and take advantage of the situation as your son-in-law, and in this way, you can also assure Prime Minister Shen that the queen will be free from disputes under your protection, and you can use this to tie Prime Minister Shen, and besides, as far as the slave maid saw today, the queen may not have no remorse for Zheng Jieyu, your current behavior is too tortuous, why do you need to-"

Yang Sheng's gaze fell on Scarlet Sakura's face.

Scarlet Sakura immediately stopped talking,

"Lord Wang, the slave is too talkative."

YANG Shengdao,

"Since you know how to talk a lot, you shouldn't say it."

"This king is willing to look at Prime Minister Shen's face and put Dou's life, it is already merciful to keep her safe, if you say more, you will be buried with the urn."

Yang Sheng brushed his sleeves and left.

Scarlet Sakura followed, and in prison, Urn Yu trembled slightly, then coughed violently, spat out some pastry scraps, and fainted again.

Following.

Scarlet Sakura looked anxious and knelt in front of Queen Dou,

"Mother, no, the princess was killed in prison!"

If Queen Dou was struck by a boulder,

"What did you say?"

Before the scarlet cherry blossoms could repeat, Queen Dou hurried out of the palace gate.

Scarlet Sakura followed Queen Dou half a step behind and said hurriedly

"It was discovered this morning by the jailer who was guarding the prison, and when I heard that I found it, the princess was already angry, and I don't know if it was providence or man-made. A frost flower scar on his hand, pierced into the bone for three points. ”

Empress Dou rushed into the prison and said to the jailer guarding the door,

"Open the door!"

The jailer opened the door, and Queen Dou hurried into the prison, only to see Weng Yu sitting at the wooden table drinking porridge.

Scarlet Sakura's complexion changed.

And Queen Dou looked back at Scarlet Sakura suddenly, her always gentle eyes were rarely fierce, and she slapped Scarlet Sakura on the face,

"Scarlet Sakura, where the hell did you hear that the princess was killed!"

Scarlet Sakura covered her face and knelt down suddenly, but her face suddenly calmed down, but her thoughts were still complicated.

Impossible, the lotus cake yesterday was obviously extremely poisonous, how could the urn be alive.

No, what should be worried most now is not this, the prince wants her to poison the princess, and then take this opportunity to frame Lu Jieyu, after all, Lu Jieyu likes the palace chief very much because the princess broke her hair and ruined the marriage record, and at that time, as long as this seemingly ghostly death is said to be Lu Jieyu's murder, in order to hide people's eyes, it will be arranged like this, everything will be logical.

The queen mother has no hope in the palace, and her heart will be like ashes.

As long as she provokes one or two more words, and tells the queen mother that the people resent the queen mother for her mistake and does not abdicate for a long time, the queen mother who is like ashes will be very easy to abdicate because of public opinion, so that the prince can push Yun Guifei to the throne, so as to recognize Yun Guifei as her mother and become the only concubine of the Great Zhou royal family.

And Lu Jieyu, the only one who can compete with Yun Guifei, also fell because of this, Yun Guifei is dominant, and the prince can sit back and relax.

But now, Wengyu is not dead, what should she do?

Scarlet Sakura is a little incoherent,

"Slave... Slaves... I also heard that someone came to report, the slave maid said so, the slave and the maid are not lies, the slave and the maid are loyal to the mother, how can they say that the princess was killed, there must be someone who falsely reported it, so that the slave and maid misreported. ”

Scarlet Sakura's afterglow secretly drifted towards Wengyu, and Wengyu held the bowl in his hand, his fingers flicked and shook on the table, shaking his head gently, as if his demeanor was different.

Scarlet Sakura suddenly realized that last night... The urn saw her, and—

Scarlet Sakura grabbed the corner of her clothes, and a drop of cold sweat dripped down.

And Queen Dou looked at Weng Yu, and when her eyes fell on Weng Yu's hand, she was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Weng Yu's hand.

"Yu'er, what's the matter with your hands!"

Weng Yu turned around and saw the scarlet cherry behind Queen Dou, and began to tremble for a moment, and her voice trembled violently,

"Queen Mother, she... She... She's going to kill me, she's going to kill me. ”

Queen Dou followed the line of sight of the urn Yu, and her eyes fell on the scarlet cherry that was kneeling behind,

Queen Dou looked at the urn,

"Yu'er, who do you say wants to kill you?"

The hand of the urn trembled and pointed at the scarlet cherry blossom.

Queen Dou looked over, and Scarlet Sakura hurriedly knelt forward,

"Slaves don't have it, slaves don't have it!"

At the same time as Scarlet Sakura stepped forward, the urn shouted,

"Don't come, don't come! Queen Mother, she wants to kill me! ”

Scarlet Sakura looked anxious,

"The slave doesn't have it, the queen mother Mingjian!"

Empress Dou held the hand of the urn Yu,

"Yu'er, don't be afraid, the queen mother is here, she doesn't dare to touch you!"

"Yu'er, what's wrong, you tell the queen mother."

The urn gasped for breath,

"She... She last night... To poison me, she is going to poison me. ”

Queen Dou's face sank, and she looked at the scarlet cherry,

"Scarlet Sakura, tell me clearly, what's going on. Are you really poisoning the princess? ”

Scarlet Sakura said busily,

"How dare the slave maid, yesterday the slave maid smashed the son Guanyin that Zheng Jieyu gave you, and knelt in front of the palace all night, the guards and the palace people who kept vigil in the palace can testify for the slave maid, the slave maid never left Weiyang Palace last night, how could she have the opportunity to come to the prison to poison the princess, not to mention, the slave maid has been favored by you and has been serving by your side for five years, can't you still believe in the loyalty of the slave and maid?"

Scarlet cherry blossoms burst into tears,

"Mother, the slave is wronged."

Queen Dou wavered, and looked at the urn metaphor again, but she felt more and more that the expression of the urn metaphor was wrong, and it seemed to be a little hysterical.

Empress Dou protected Wengyu's shoulder, and Wengyu's hand was still pointing at the scarlet cherry.

Queen Dou hugged the urn,

"Yu'er, don't be afraid, the queen mother is here."

The urn was flustered and slightly stupid, but Queen Dou's eyes were moist.

Scarlet Sakura raised her eyes, the grievances on her face were fleeting, and a pair of eyes looked directly at the urn, fortunately she was looking for someone to cover her face with a human skin mask yesterday, pretending to be her appearance, thinking that if the urn died, she could also eliminate the suspicion, but she didn't expect that things were not as she thought, fortunately, she was prepared in advance, and cleared the suspicion by mistake, otherwise she would not end well today.

Guan Wu forgets the way,

"If Your Royal Highness wants to recognize the queen as your mother-in-law, you must act early, otherwise if the second prince is one step ahead of you and becomes a son-in-law, he will become the eldest son, and it is logical to sit on the position of the prince at that time.

Guan Wu forgot to fall the sunspot in the northwest corner.

YANG Shengdao,

"Why does Master Guan think that if you want to be a son-in-law, you must recognize Dou as your mother?"

Yang Sheng also landed in the northwest corner.

Guan Wu forgets the way,

"If you want to be a concubine, your mother will be the queen, and now according to Your Majesty's wishes, it is easy to abolish the queen, but we also have to win over Prime Minister Shen, Prime Minister Shen is not necessarily to pull Queen Dou down, but to protect Queen Dou from disputes, and Queen Dou's throne is just one of the ways."

"There is another way, that is, you recognize the queen mother as your mother, become your sister-in-law, take the first step, seize the opportunity, and let the hundred officials fall to your side, so that the second prince does not have the power to turn over, so that Queen Dou will be protected under your wings, and it will naturally be free from disputes."

Guan Wu forgot to fall, clinging to Yang Sheng's chess pieces, pressing step by step.

And Guan Wuwu's chess pieces have spread to the middle of the chessboard, and after a few more discs, Yang Sheng's chess pieces can be swallowed.

Yang Sheng laughed,

"Since Prime Minister Shen wanted to pull the Dou clan down at the beginning to protect the Dou clan, he did what he wanted."

Guan Wuwei frowned slightly, but showed a half-smile, and his eyes were cold,

"What do you mean?"

YANG Shengdao,

"Even if this king needs this opportunity again, this king will never recognize Dou as his mother, although Lord Guan is thoughtful for me, but in the end he thinks narrowly."

Yang Sheng picked up a chess piece,

"If I want to be the Tianyuan of this chess game, the center of power, why do I have to take this road, the Dou clan is not irreplaceable, just as the center of power is not irreplaceable."

Yang Sheng landed the chess pieces on the Tian Yuan position in the center of the chessboard.

Suddenly, Yang Sheng's chess pieces circled the city, blocking the air outlet of Guan Wuwu's chess pieces, and swallowing up Guan Wuwu's chess pieces.

Yang Sheng raised his eyes,

"Master Guan, you lost."

Guan Wuwu smiled with a fan, but his tone was flat,

"The prince plans accurately, he has his own plans, why did he come to find the joke of the minister."

Yang Sheng smiled,

"What your lord said is true, but after this incident, this king also knows your lord's loyalty and dedicated service, and from then on, this king can rest assured."

Guan Wuwu lowered his eyes and said,

"Thank you for your appreciation."

Yang Sheng smiled.

Guan Wu forgot to look at the chess piece in the middle of the chessboard.

originally wanted Yang Sheng to push Empress Dou to sit firmly in the back seat, so that the folk rumors and accusations were even worse, but Empress Dou's delay in abdicating was Emperor Yuan's inaction and cover-up. In this way, the people's evaluation of Emperor Yuan will be like a waterfall of a thousand miles long, and it will fall sharply.

At this time, Empress Dou also adopted the prince, which made matters worse, and the rumors could be persistent.

He guided him in every possible way, but Yang Sheng abandoned this road that was a good road for him.

Such an idea is really unpredictable.

If there is another accident, Yang Sheng's chess piece will no longer be used.
