Chapter 126: Imprisoned

At the moment, she didn't allow her to think too much, she still had to find more answers, so she concentrated on keeping up with the Queen Mother's consciousness.

Zhuang Yan thought that after the death of the concubine, the emperor would give him some favors, but he didn't expect another Qianyu to come, and she was pregnant with a child as soon as she came. Since then, her hatred for them has never been extinguished, until Pei Yingshi was eight years old, she finally caused Qianyuyu to fall out of favor by framing them, so that they never saw each other again until they died.

Later, the crown prince was deposed, and the first emperor renamed Pei Gongcuo as the crown prince. However, soon after, he found a few confidant ministers and discussed wanting to change Pei Yingshi. This matter reached Zhuang Yan's ears through the confidants of Zuo Xiang Zhuang Shuhuan. She was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, and Pei Gongcuo's position as the crown prince would not be guaranteed, so she took advantage of the fact that the emperor was sick and added medicine to his diet that was compatible with the decoction he was taking. The world only knows that he was angry with the prince and died of depression, but they didn't know that he was poisoned by the queen mother.

One day in the middle of the night, Zhuang Yan had a nightmare, dreaming that the soul of the concubine came to her, she got up in horror and went to the courtyard to burn paper money for her, and her mouth was still chanting: "Hexiang, if you don't die, your son is only afraid that it will be difficult to raise him, and now I have put him on the throne, and it is not wronged that you are dead, not to mention that I also sent the emperor down to accompany you, you should thank me." I'll burn you more paper money today, and you won't come back. ”

To Hua Mian's surprise, she caught a glimpse of a tail of clothes flashing away in a dark corner of the hall. Because she was not bound by her body and saw very clearly, she found that the dark pattern embroidered on the hem of the dress was actually a five-clawed golden dragon.

I see! It turned out that Pei Gongcuo knew everything at that time!

At the same time, at the corner gate connecting the backyard, Hong Xing was turning around in a panic and trying to escape, but she was seen by the sharp-eyed Zhuang Yan and stepped forward to catch her.

She asked what she had heard. Hongxing muttered that she hadn't heard anything. She naturally didn't believe it, and immediately asked someone to search out a sachet embroidered with a mandarin duck playing in the water pattern and a pair of unfinished men's embroidered hemp shoes from her room, and gave her a glass of wine on the charge of seducing the prince.

At this moment, looking at the sadness and despair in Hongxing's eyes, Hua Mian only felt that her heart ached, she couldn't bear to watch her drink that cup of poisonous wine, and this way of peeping at others with her mind was really too draining, so she withdrew her consciousness and continued the hypnosis in the back of the hypnosis in the form of questions and answers.

When the Queen Mother herself said how she poisoned Li Sheng like the former emperor, Pin'er on the side was stunned for a long time, then smiled coldly and turned to the outsider.

Hua Mian's heart was also chaotic, and she had no intention of continuing at the moment, and was about to hint that she had forgotten the content of hypnosis, when she suddenly heard a burst of firecrackers in the courtyard. Hua Mian was shocked, but met the Queen Mother's eyes that suddenly opened.

The Queen Mother looked at Hua Mian in astonishment, and after carefully recalling what she had experienced in her dream, she felt a bang in her head, and her initial confusion suddenly turned into shock and panic. She shouted angrily, "Someone! Catch the assassins! ”

Hua Mian sensed that something was wrong for a moment earlier, and ran out quickly. However, when he arrived at the door, he was blocked by a group of people.

Hua Mian squinted at everyone. This firecracker was set off at a really good time, and all the hypnotized people in Cining Palace woke up. Pin'er is really amazing!

Unable to allow her to sigh a little, the Queen Mother had already come to her side and ordered: "If the Burmese concubine wants to assassinate the mourning family, quickly arrest her to the mourning family!" ”

Hua Mian refused to be captured, so he fought with the people who came to capture him. However, they were outnumbered, and they used the strategy of closing the door and beating the dog, she couldn't beat it, and she couldn't escape, so she was tied up after a few rounds.

She looked up at the Queen Mother, and saw that her eyes were full of anger, with a ruthlessness she had never seen before. At this moment, she had no doubt that she had indeed murdered herself.

She forced herself to squeeze out a smile and said, "I'm not an assassin, I'm just going to see the Queen Mother with Pin'er." ”

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother remembered that she felt tired after drinking Pin'er's iced tea, and then fell asleep under her service. Could it be that Pin'er conspired with Concubine Burmese to cast a soul dementorship on herself, so as to learn the secret in her heart? She felt a pang in her heart, you are a good character, you are sorry that the mourning family values you so much, but you hide your thoughts from the mourning family, and you actually join others to harm the mourning family.

She said sharply: "The noble people and the Burmese concubines jointly conspired to kill the mourning family, and quickly arrested the noble people." ”

After everyone obeyed the order to leave, she ordered someone to lock Hua Mian in the secret room.

Hua Mian knew in her heart that if Pin'er was not captured, the Queen Mother would not dare to touch her easily. Otherwise, this matter reached Pei Gongcuo's ears, and the Queen Mother's fate would only be worse than her. She was just a little curious, Pin'er couldn't get out of the palace now, where would she hide? And what purpose did she deliberately alarm the Queen Mother? Also, since Pei Gongcuo knew that the Queen Mother had killed his biological mother, why didn't he do anything? Is it the power of the jealous dealer?

What Hua Mian didn't expect was that after Pin'er escaped from Cining Palace, she first went to Shuihua Palace to spread the news, and then went to Zhuxinyuan to inform Concubine Qian. So the news of her imprisonment by the Queen Mother reached the ears of Pei Yingshi and Pei Gongcuo as quickly as possible with the two carrier pigeons that fluttered their wings.

After Pei Yingshi learned that Hua Mian was imprisoned for breaking Zhuang Yan's secret, he knew that she must be more than lucky at the moment, and he didn't care about being suspicious, so he immediately gathered his 5,000 elite soldiers who stayed in Beijing and went straight to the palace.

Pei Gongcuo was also anxious when he received the flying pigeon summons, and he immediately took Han Zheng and Fu Xin back to Beijing overnight. When he received the news from Hai Dongqing on the road, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Han Zheng reminded him that Duanwang's move this time was too unusual and asked him to be careful.

Calming down at the moment, he also felt that something was very strange. Pei Yingshi has always been an idle prince in his eyes, but he didn't expect to raise 5,000 elite soldiers under his nose, let alone his fiefdom? I think he must have a different heart for himself. And the purpose of his action this time is to save the woman he loves the most, and he seems to be loyal to himself. But that doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it.

So there are only two possibilities. First, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to usurp the throne; Second, he fell in love with Hua Mian. If the second possibility is the second possibility, then it means that his so-called habit of breaking sleeves is just a blind eye, and his ultimate goal is still the first possibility.

At this moment, the deeper despair was like a biting tide that instantly submerged him, and it was cold to his heart. As the regent who was ordered by him, if he had the intention to collude with his close ministers, the rebellion caused by the crusade against the Empress Dowager and the Zuo Prime Minister was likely to turn into a change to seize the throne. All he could do now was speed up his return journey to prevent the worst from happening.

That night, Hua Mian huddled in the cold secret room, secretly thinking about how likely it was that he would be rescued. Before she went out, she told Wan Tao that she was going to Cining Palace to sit, but she didn't mention the purpose of her coming here for fear that she would worry. Now that it's night, seeing that she hasn't gone back yet, she should take the flowers and them to find her, right? I hope they don't get sent away by a few words. If they guessed that they were imprisoned, they wondered if they would be able to find this secret room.

But at this moment, the door of the secret room was opened from the outside with a "clang", and Hua Mian sat up to look at the person. When she saw Pin'er being brought in, followed by the waiter who was carrying the poisoned wine, she was immediately cold.

She looked at Pin'er with disdain and said, "How capable I am with you, I didn't expect to be caught so soon." ”

Pin'er smiled coldly: "I was born without love, but now I have avenged Li Sheng, and I can drag you to die together, I have no regrets when I die." ”

Hua Mian said in surprise: "What do you mean by avenging Li Sheng?" ”

"King Duan has led people into the palace, saying that the Queen Mother and Zuo Xiang conspired to harm the first emperor first, and kidnapped the Burmese concubine to blackmail the emperor to abdicate in the rear, he wants to clear the king's side, punish the rebellious ministers, and do the right thing for heaven." Pin'er smiled ambiguously, "I really didn't read it wrong, King Duan is really extraordinary to you." ”

Hua Mian was shocked when she heard this, she didn't expect that what she did on the spur of the moment would cause such serious consequences. Now that Pei Gongcuo is not in Beijing, Pei Yingshi shouldn't be trying to take the opportunity to rebel, right?

Pin'er said with a smile: "Now half of the troops in Beijing are in the hands of the left prime minister's party, and half are in the hands of the right minister's party. The right minister learned that it was the emperor's Burmese concubine who was in trouble, and immediately supported King Duan. Now the bloody Miyagi drama is being staged outside. ”

Seeing Hua Mian's frowning, Pin'er said again: "Are you worried that King Duan will take the opportunity to usurp the throne, and the emperor may be more auspicious?" I'm afraid you won't see that day anymore. But I can tell you that the emperor is now on his way back. As long as you die, no matter who they are the final winner, the Queen Mother will not end well. At that time, I can laugh at Jiuquan even if I die. ”

Hua Mian looked at Pin'er in a daze, her revenge was really clever. The Queen Mother was forced to this role, which was already a dilemma. If she loses, she loses everything, and naturally she will not let herself live; If she wins, she can only break with the emperor, and then go to support the new emperor, which is to confirm the charges given to her by Pei Ying Shi'an, so she will not let herself live.

Therefore, Hua Mian came to the conclusion that the Queen Mother could only make a desperate bet at the moment. And the desperate Queen Mother will not let herself get out of here alive.

Seeing that they were almost talking, the chamberlain on the side stepped forward and said, "If the two ladies are finished talking, please go on the road." ”

A bleak and beautiful smile bloomed on Pin'er's lips, and she reached out to pick up the wine glass, and then brought it to her lips without hesitation. Hua Mian quickly stepped forward and knocked the poisoned wine to the ground.

Looking at the white foam splashing on the ground, Pin'er was stunned, and when she looked at Hua Mian again, her eyes were full of tears.

The chamberlain winked at the attendant behind her, and two of them stepped forward to restrain Hua Mian, and then another forcibly poured wine into her mouth.

Hua Mian first gritted her teeth and refused to open her mouth, and when the teeth were pried open and the wine was poured into her mouth, she tried her best to spit out all the wine. In a fit of rage, the attendant plunged the hilt of his sword directly into her throat.

She felt a fishy sweetness in her throat, and she immediately retched. Turning his eyes to look at Pin'er, he saw her smile at herself, then picked up the poisonous wine and swallowed it all with a smile, her throat rolling, and tears slid down her face.

She tried to stop her, but she couldn't make a sound. At the same time, one of the attendants twisted her arm, one immobilized her head, and the other raised the flask in his hand.

At this moment, her eyes were full of despair and unwillingness, and the people and things that flashed in her mind, those beautiful or sad pasts, made her heart sour, and tears fell uncontrollably.
