Chapter 222: The King's Heart is Unfathomable
Xue Yi said goodbye to Ji Wuyao and prepared to go back to her Chenhui Garden, who knew that when she just walked to the door of the imperial study, across the hidden Zhu Gate,. ET
Xue Yi's heart seemed to mention her throat, although it was only an instant, but she also thought about many possibilities, but what she was most worried about was Emperor Cheng sitting in the imperial study, she knew very well that this palace that seemed to be singing and dancing was level, everyone was smiling, but almost everyone was calculating Emperor Cheng, the emperor, and sometimes, Xue Yi really felt sad for Emperor Cheng.
What about being on the throne?! If he is really Xiao Yichen, then for this dragon chair, he has lost his siblings, his identity, his children and his dignity.
Xue Yi had the heart to shout, and was worried about getting into trouble, when Xue Yi was in a dilemma, a yellow light fell from the roof, Xue Yi could see clearly, the person lying by the window didn't have time to snort, and was stabbed into the heart by the man!
Xue Yi was stunned by the scene in front of her, and she instinctively covered her mouth with her own hands, as if she was afraid that the people in the courtyard would hear her breathing.
At this time, the thin man fell into the arms of the man in yellow in the middle of the night, and by the dawn, Xue Yi could see very clearly, with a light smile on the little face with a big palm, staring at the man in yellow affectionately, it turned out to be Concubine Rou!
And the man in yellow is Emperor Cheng, Emperor Cheng's handsome face is iron-blue, two cold lights shot out of his eyes staring at Concubine Rou, and Yun said lightly: "Rou'er, on the Huangquan Road, don't blame me for being ruthless, blame your curiosity, you shouldn't see those things." ”
Concubine Rou's eyes were full of tenderness: "The concubine has never hated the emperor, even at this moment, the concubine does not hate the emperor, and it is the concubine ......who can die in the emperor's arms" Gradually, Concubine Rou stared at Emperor Cheng but couldn't say a word.
Emperor Cheng's lips fell on Concubine Rou's eyes, and Xue Yi saw Concubine Rou's little hands slip silently from Emperor Cheng's shoulder.
Emperor Cheng hugged Concubine Rou's body and was stunned for a moment, and suddenly ripped off the corners of his clothes to cover his face, Xue Yi didn't know what Emperor Cheng was going to do, so he was busy huddled behind the begonia tree, but his eyes didn't leave Emperor Cheng for a moment.
Emperor Cheng looked around again, and when he was sure that there was no one left and right, he actually held Concubine Rou in his arms, jumped on the roof, and went straight to the Queen Mother's bedroom, Xue Yi couldn't help but be puzzled, Emperor Cheng was not in a hurry to deal with Concubine Rou's body, why did he go to the Queen Mother's bedroom instead?
You must know that this Concubine Rou was originally the niece of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother regarded Concubine Rou as her own daughter on weekdays, if it weren't for Gong Yi and his four sons, the Queen Mother would have already made Concubine Rou the queen.
Emperor Cheng didn't know the relationship between Concubine Rou and the Queen Mother, it stands to reason that it was too late for him to hide from the Queen Mother, how could he send Concubine Rou's body to the Queen Mother's bedroom?
Xue Yi didn't understand in her heart, and wanted to follow up to see what she wanted, but reason told her that at this time, she had better be in her Morning Garden, and there would definitely be a storm tomorrow.
"Come on, it's ....... water"
"Escort ......."
"It's out of water....... Walked the water......."
Xue Yi was about to go back to her palace, when suddenly the Queen Mother saw the fire in the palace, the figures were shaking, and the voices were boiling, and the chaotic shouts and noisy footsteps went straight to the Queen Mother's palace.
Xue Yi took the opportunity to hurriedly come to the entrance of the tunnel and returned to her dormitory from the tunnel.
As soon as Xue Yi lay down, she heard Liu Nong call her gently: "Niangniang, wake up, Niangniang, wake up." ”
Xue Yi deliberately turned over, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"What's the sound outside?" Xue Yi seemed to have just heard the sound outside, and asked Liu Nong puzzled.
Liu Nong's voice was a little hurried: "Niangniang, hurry up, everyone in the palace has gone to the queen mother's palace." ”
"Why do you want to go to the Queen Mother's palace?"
Xue Yi yawned, lay down lazily again, and said: "The Queen Mother doesn't want to see us, even if there is anything, the Queen Mother will go to see jokes in the past, it's hard to find a spring dream, it's better to play chess with Zhou Gong again." ”
Liu Nong saw that Xue Yi looked like she had nothing to do with herself, and stomped her feet anxiously: "My mother, ancestor, the queen mother's palace is on fire (on fire), and I heard that a mother died, and now the palace has gone to the queen mother's palace early to avoid suspicion!" Mother, hurry up. ”
"Really?! Why didn't you say it earlier, quick, let's go. Xue Yi lifted the quilt and ran out barefoot, in fact, she had long wanted to go to the Empress Dowager's palace to see how Emperor Cheng dealt with Concubine Rou's body and how to explain the cause of Concubine Rou's death.
"Niangniang....... look at you, you are waiting for the slave to wait for you to change your clothes and makeup!" Liu Nong saw that Xue Yi was disheveled, and ran out of Chenhui Garden barefoot in a white nightgown, and chased after him crying and laughing in the back.
Xueyi's Chenhui Garden is about a kilometer away from the Queen Mother's bedroom, to bypass the three-story palace, the four-entry hand-copying verandah, the most terrible thing is that Xueyi is in a hurry to walk the nearest bluestone road from the Queen Mother's bedroom, running on the bluestone road, Liu Nong feels that his feet are painful when he wears shoes, not to mention the barefoot Xueyi?
Sure enough, Xue Yicai ran out and didn't take a few steps before she fell on the gravel road.
Liu Nong ran forward quickly, squatted down and couldn't help but exclaim: "Niangniang, your feet!" ”
Xue Yi realized that the white footcloth had been stained with blood like plum blossoms, and she clutched her feet and smiled: "It's okay, Liu Nong, help me up." ”
Liu Nong shed tears in distress, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's okay, it's okay, Niangniang knows that it's okay, how can your feet bleed if it's okay?!" Why don't you sit down and let the slave wait for you to get dressed. ”
Liu Nong put on the dresses of Xue Yi in her arms one by one for Xue Yi, Xue Yi looked at Liu Nong's tearful face, wiped the tears on her cheeks with her jade hand, and said a little apologetically: "Liu Nong, I'm sorry, I have suffered a lot of grievances with such an unlucky master as me." ”
Liu Nong heard Xue Yi say this, and then looked at her little feet, and tears couldn't help but fall again: "What grievances did the slave and maid suffer, the slave and maid are not worth it for the mother, if we don't enter the palace, we won't let the mother suffer so many and so many grievances." ”
"Shhhhh......h Let's hurry up and go to the Queen Mother's Palace, if it's really late, I'm afraid there will be really big trouble. ”
Although Liu Nong was dissatisfied in his heart, he also knew the seriousness of this matter, and immediately limped towards the queen mother's bedroom with Xue Yi in his arms.
At this time, the sky was already bright, Xue Yi had not yet entered the Queen Mother's bedroom, and saw that the left and right were full of people kneeling on the ground, Xue Yi quietly walked into the Queen Mother's palace, and saw that the courtyard was still full of kneeling people, the whole palace was silent, and it seemed that she could not hear the sound of people's breathing, Xue Yi's heart was nervous for no reason, and she seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat.
"Why are you here?" Emperor Cheng came out of nowhere, greeted Xue Yi and whispered.
Xue Yi was about to bend down to salute, but Emperor Cheng held his arm with one hand, and Emperor Cheng whispered in Xue Yi's ear: "I am sending you back to the palace now, and you don't want to go anywhere without my summons." ”
Emperor Cheng grabbed Xue Yi's hand and was about to go out, when the queen mother's palace door suddenly opened, and the old lady who followed the queen mother stood at the door and shouted: "Is it Xue Fei Niangniang who came from outside the door?" The Queen Mother asked Concubine Xue to speak in the palace. ”
Emperor Cheng looked at Xue Yi, Xue Yi looked at Emperor Cheng, Xue Yi clearly saw a little worry and fear on Emperor Cheng's face, at this moment, Xue Yi's mind kept shaking the scene of Emperor Cheng killing Concubine Rou, and cold sweat poured out from Xue Yi's palm and forehead.
"Cher, what's wrong with you? Why are your hands so cold? Why is your face so ugly? Emperor Cheng saw that Xue Yi's complexion was wrong, and asked with concern.
Before Xue Yi could answer, the Queen Mother's Feng drove out of the palace and stood on the steps at the entrance of the palace with a sneer: "Is the emperor a little biased?" Concubine Rou's bones are not cold, are you in front of her and other women and me a little too much?! ”
Emperor Cheng bent down slightly, and said in his words: "Queen Mother, how did Concubine Rou die, the Queen Mother knows very well in her heart that this should not be a glorious thing, and the Queen Mother doesn't have to remind me from time to time." ”
The Queen Mother listened to Emperor Cheng's words, her eyes straightened, staring at Emperor Cheng slowly walking down the steps step by step, and walking in front of Emperor Cheng, the Queen Mother glanced at Xue Yi from the corner of her eyes and asked Emperor Cheng: "Okay, then you can tell me, why did Concubine Rou die a disgraceful death." ”
"Does the Queen Mother have to say it again?" Emperor Cheng stared at the Queen Mother.
Xue Yi saw a faint murderous aura in the eyes of the two people, she didn't know how Emperor Cheng disposed of Concubine Rou's body, but according to the current scene, Emperor Cheng must have planted something dirty on Concubine Rou.
"Yes, the mourning family just wants the emperor to say it again, so that everyone in the palace can hear the cause of Concubine Rou's death! Concubine Rou has been in the palace for more than half a year, who doesn't know that she is all about the emperor's body, but her appearance is mediocre, not as good as one-ten-thousandth of the beauty next to you, so the emperor has never looked at her with his eyes, but in this way, the mourning family dares to use his life to guarantee that there will be no other man in Concubine Rou's heart! As she spoke, the Queen Mother's eyes were a little excited.
Emperor Cheng snorted coldly: "I can't see Concubine Rou's heart, I only know that for the sake of the queen mother, I treat her well, she is ruthless, she wants to cheat with the guards, she is found to have no face to see me, and she dies by herself, and this is the fact that I see!" Queen Mother, I originally wanted Concubine Rou to die a dignified death, but your old man must uncover this scar, so don't blame me for being ruthless! Emperor Cheng's face suddenly changed.
Emperor Cheng roared: "Come on! ”
