Chapter 114: Conspiracy
Few people go to the Star Picking Building on weekdays, and there is not even a sweeping palace maid and eunuch inside, and the queen likes to go just to be quiet.
The view is also better in the higher places, and I am afraid that Concubine Yu Niangniang did not expect that she would find such a deserted place and be discovered.
Listening to Lin Zuiliu's words, Princess Zhaoyuan and the queen mother were really shocked.
The queen mother was stunned for a long time, and suddenly as if she had reacted, she reached out to cover her mouth, and looked at Lin Zuiliu with wide eyes.
In fact, everything was Lin Zuiliu's speculation, and she didn't dare to spread the rumors about such a big matter.
She only looked at the queen mother, and said with a little fear in her tone, "If there is an appropriate time, the queen mother had better mention this matter to the emperor." ”
The queen is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves
Naturally, I know the seriousness of this matter, although it is uncertain, but there is a one in 10,000 possibility, and the emperor should know it.
After chatting for a while, Lin Zuiliu took Princess Zhaoyuan, who had been confused, back to Changle Palace, and waited until she sat on the couch of Changle Palace before Princess Zhaoyuan came back to her senses.
She screamed and grabbed Lin Zuiliu's arm, and stumbled and said, "Drunken Willow, Drunken Willow, what did you just say, you said that Concubine Niangniang is ...... Not. ”
Lin Zuiliu covered Princess Zhaoyuan's mouth, looked left and right, and found that there was no one around, so he said, "You be quiet, this is our guess, what should we do if you shout out so loudly and be passed out?" ”
Princess Zhaoyuan nodded, pulled Lin Zuiliu's arm away, took a breath, and said, "Got it, I'll be quiet, but how do you know." ”
Lin Zuiliu told Princess Zhaoyuan all his speculations, and nodded when he saw that he seemed to understand, and then ended his conversation.
The queen mother has been looking for a better time to tell the emperor Lin Zuiliu's speculation, but their husband and wife have always been inseparable, and the emperor almost never turns over her brand, so there has been no good opportunity.
When the queen mother entered the star picking tower again and accidentally saw the concubine mother release the pigeon, she finally decided to create an opportunity to tell the emperor.
Qi Jingheng has also been stumped by state affairs recently, and he hasn't been to the harem for a long time.
Xi Fengguo has never taken the initiative to start a war, and has a small fight with the troops led by other generals of the Northern Ring Kingdom.
Liao Luan, on the other hand, has been training recruits and observing the terrain since he left, and has not participated in a single war.
was making trouble, and Li Fu, the confidant and great eunuch under his hand over there, suddenly stepped forward and handed the thing he was holding to Qi Jingheng.
He took it, and it was a letter.
There was no handwriting on the letter, and it was also made of pulp paper for the Zhennan Palace, and Qi Jingheng's expression immediately became a little more serious.
He stretched out his hand and waved Li Fu away, and then he reached out and slowly opened the letter.
The letter was indeed brought by Liao Luan's people, and there was not much handwriting, which probably said the general process of being arrested and tortured after Prime Minister Zuo left.
The last sentence said that Qin Zhong could no longer hold up the confession, and he said that the person who recruited him was Prince Gong, who had returned to the fiefdom.
When Qi Jingheng saw this, the paper in his hand had been deformed, and the green tendons on his hands burst out.
He took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Someone is coming, Prince Gong has entered Beijing." ”
The queen didn't know all these things, and she was still thinking about when to tell the emperor about it.
Although the relationship between her and the emperor has been much better since Concubine Chen left, she is just a respectful guest no matter what.
Now let her take the initiative to find the emperor, to be honest, she still feels a little difficult in her heart.
In order to be more natural, the queen went directly to the imperial dining room to make soup for the emperor, and then took her eldest palace maid to the Shangshufang to find the emperor with the soup.
The door of the Shang study room was very quiet, and the queen mother walked to the door, smiled at Li Fu, who was guarding the door, and said, "Father-in-law." ”
Here, Li Fu saw that the queen was coming, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and when he heard that he was up, he got up and lowered his head, and said, "Why is the queen mother here now?" ”
She never came to the study room on weekdays, and she never took the initiative to find the emperor, but now that she suddenly came over, Li Fu was surprised and understandable.
The queen mother hesitated for a while, and then said, "This palace has recently heard that the emperor is very busy, and I have stewed soup today, and I came to bring soup to the emperor." ”
The queen's personality has always been gentle and virtuous in the eyes of everyone, so now that she is here to bring soup to the emperor, Li Fu also believes it.
He bowed his waist and said, "Okay, the queen has a heart, you wait, let the slave go and report it." ”
The queen nodded and watched Li Fu enter the door.
She was actually very nervous, her heart was pounding, and the hands she was holding were wet.
It took a while for Li Fu to come out.
His face looked a little unpleasant, and the queen thought that the emperor did not want to see her, and was ready to leave.
Unexpectedly, Li Fu suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Queen Mother, the emperor is invited." ”
This was a sudden surprise, the queen nodded, beckoned to the palace maid behind her, and then turned to look at Li Fu and said, "I'm tired of Gonggong Li." ”
She was about to go in, but Li Fu suddenly stopped her here, and said hesitantly, "The emperor has been in a bad mood recently, so Niangniang should be careful when she speaks." ”
Knowing that Li Fu was for her good, the queen responded, so she turned around and went into the door.
There was silence in the study, and the emperor was sitting upright, wearing a bright yellow dress, looking down at something on the emperor's desk.
The queen's footsteps were a little louder, and when she heard the sound, Qi Jingheng saw her wife as soon as she raised her head.
To be honest, the queen is not ugly, or she is actually quite good-looking, although she is not a stunning appearance at a glance, but she is very charming.
However, when Qi Jingheng saw her at this time, he remembered the letter he received today, and he was not in a good mood at all.
"Your Majesty," the queen first saluted Qi Jingheng, and then motioned to the palace maid behind her, asking her to bring out the yam chicken soup in the food box and put it on the table.
"I heard that the emperor has been busy recently, so the concubine stewed soup for you, and you must pay attention to your body when you are busy with official affairs, don't boil it down."
What she said was very ironing, Qi Jingheng looked at her expressionlessly for a while, and suddenly felt in his heart that maybe the queen didn't know.
After all, Prince Gong is in the fiefdom all the year round, and even if there are any small moves, he can't get the queen mother.
Thinking so, Qi Jingheng nodded, reached out and pulled the soup bowl, took the soup spoon and took a sip.
The scalding was delicious and delicious, Qi Jingheng drank most of the bowl at once, and the feeling of turning over the river and the sea in his stomach was indeed much better.
After drinking the soup, Qi Jingheng was in a much better mood, he put down the soup spoon and looked at the queen mother in front of him who was smiling at him.
"The soup is delicious, the queen has a heart."
The queen shook her head, "As long as the emperor likes it, the concubines can often do it for the emperor in the future." ”
As she spoke, she looked at the emperor hesitantly, not knowing how to speak.
Qi Jingheng saw the queen's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and he was quite puzzled in his heart, and asked, "What's wrong with the queen?" There's something going on, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Hearing Qi Jingheng say this, the queen took a deep breath, and then told the emperor what she had seen in the past two days.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, the concubine still hopes that you can pay attention to this matter."
As soon as she finished speaking, the emperor over there suddenly threw the fold in his hand on the table as if he was very angry, "Shut up." ”
Qi Jingheng's tone sounded very harsh, which startled the queen mother, who had never been yelled at like this.
She shrank for a moment, looking at Qi Jingheng's angry expression a little timidly.
Qi Jingheng didn't care about the queen's thoughts, and only said to himself, "I came here to arrange Concubine Chen without any evidence, queen, I always thought that you had no quarrel with the world, but I didn't expect you to have such thoughts." ”
"I only have always been dissatisfied with Concubine Chen, and now I am naturally uncomfortable when I see Concubine Chen."
The queen was very surprised by Qi Jingheng's words, and she looked at Qi Jingheng with wide eyes.
However, Qi Jingheng didn't look at her more, only stretched out his hand and waved, not even wanting to look at it, and said, "I shouldn't have heard of today's events, and I won't do this kind of thing that damages the majesty of the mother of a country in the future." ”
Seeing that Qi Jingheng really didn't believe it, the queen was very worried, and she wanted to explain, "Your Majesty ......"
"That's enough, go back."
Qi Jingheng's voice was very stern, the queen frowned, and then glanced at Qi Jingheng one last time, then bowed down and said, "The concubine retires." ”
She never understood what was going on with the emperor, and suddenly her mood fluctuated.
However, what Qi Jingheng was thinking about in his heart was Prince Gong, and it seemed that he had really brought the queen to this pickled matter now.
Otherwise, how could she suddenly be uncharacteristic today, and even brought soup to herself again, and talked to herself about other concubines.
Qi Jingheng thought about it very angrily and directly tore up the letter on the table, threw it in the stove and burned it.
The dark tide in the capital is surging, and Liao Luan at the border is bothering to train his recruits.
Chixiao Guard's recruit training takes too long, so it has always been expensive and not expensive, and now this time is also for the next war with Xifengguo.
It wasn't until after a busy day that he returned to the camp that Liao Luan received two letters from the capital today.
One was sent by Guanlan, and the other was sent by Lin Zuiliu.
He opened Lin Zuiliu's letter first.
The little girl's words have made a lot of progress since she exercised for so long, at least ordinary words will no longer lack arms and legs.
Liao Luan looked at her letter line by line, and Lin Zuiliu was talking about how boring he was in the capital alone, and then roughly said everything after he left like a running account.
Finally, he said that you should protect yourself and not lose a single hair when you come back.
