Chapter Seventy-Three: A Word Settles
The trembling palace maids covered the corpse under the begonia tree, knelt down and sobbed, and did not dare to cry loudly.
The officials standing in the distance did not come to check, and the people jumped off the high platform in front of everyone, and there was no need to doubt the authenticity.
Cui Zheng's face was complicated, Concubine Luo died as she wished, but the process of dying was unexpected.
"How is Your Majesty?" He said, turning away from looking at this side.
Previously, when Luo Guifei was poured poisoned with wine, the emperor fell unconscious on the side, Wu Ya'er shot an arrow to break the poisoned wine, Luo Guifei jumped off the high platform, and the emperor did not wake up, although he was ordered to carry it back to the palace to be guarded by the imperial doctors.
"Your Majesty has woken up." Wu Ya'er's voice replied.
The officials turned around and saw Wu Ya'er coming, so he followed the emperor back to the palace and stopped Cui Zheng and the others from walking.
Wu Ya'er held a bow and crossbow, and these soldiers in the palace obviously couldn't stop him from going crazy, Cui Zheng and the others did not insist strongly, and at this time, when they heard the order, more soldiers came to the palace and surrounded the Begonia Palace densely.
Seeing Wu Ya'er come out, his body and weapons were tensed together, making a small crashing sound.
Wu Ya'er's expression did not change, but she just looked at Cui Zheng.
Cui Zheng's expression changed, solemn and fearless: "I'll go to see Your Majesty." ”
He stepped forward, Wu Ya'er stretched out his hand to stop him, Cui Zheng immediately stopped, and there was a commotion all around, and a layer of soldiers surged forward.
"Cui Xiangye, you have already killed Luo Shiqing, and Your Majesty will no longer pursue it, so why did you force Luo Guifei to death?" Wu Ya'er didn't hit people with the bow and crossbow in his hand, but said.
Wu Ya'er used a knife to kill into the capital, he rarely spoke, and everyone's impression was only a few words about entering the imperial city and asking for rewards, and at other times he either stood by the emperor's side or hid at home.
Now once again he broke into the imperial city with a weapon, but instead of killing, he wanted to speak.
It's never scary to talk in this imperial city.
Cui Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Luo is afraid of committing suicide, and he must first settle down inside." Immediately, he was a little cold and a little arrogant, "I will explain to Your Majesty, and it will be up to Your Majesty to discuss the crime." ”
"What kind of Anne is forcing a woman to die?" There was a hint of ridicule at the corner of Wu Ya'er's mouth, "I don't see you praising this woman in the peaceful and prosperous times, how can the catastrophe and troubled times have anything to do with her?" ”
"Wudu, when is it now, don't pester this woman." An official stepped forward and said urgently.
Wu Ya'er still didn't hit anyone, looking at the official: "At this time, even a woman will not be spared, how can you talk about the world?" ”
This reckless man is quite able to speak, and the officials present can't help but step forward.
"Wudu, Luo Shiqing can be where he is today, all because of Luo Guifei."
"Roche confuses the master, Roche dominates."
"Roche and the whole sea are blinded."
"That Ankang Mountain is also the Topi Roche to have today, and how many impeachments have been blocked by the Roche."
In front of the hall, there was anger, grief and sighs, and chaos surrounded Wu Ya'er, and Wu Ya'er was silent for an instant.
Cui Zheng shook his sleeves and drank the chaos: "Don't tell him, I will tell Your Majesty." With that, he knocked away Wu Ya'er and walked towards the hall.
Wu Ya'er still didn't draw his sword, nor did he stop Cui Zheng.
The other officials rushed up, like a spring hitting a stone, and rushed forward in a chaotic manner.
Wu Ya'er let them cross him without turning back or catching up, and soon only the soldiers and generals were left in front of the palace, and when they saw Wu Ya'er looking over, the soldiers and generals were even more nervous.
Wu Ya'er lowered his eyes and strolled, there was a commotion all around, he didn't raise his head, held the bow and crossbow, and strode through the generals and walked outside the palace.
Outside the Imperial City was more tense than inside the Imperial City, and one side of the soldiers and horses were surrounded by layers of soldiers and horses, but the soldiers and horses with more people were more nervous than the few soldiers and horses who were surrounded.
"Raven." Seeing Wu Ya'er coming out, Lao Hu jumped off his horse and shouted.
Wu Ya'er's eyes swept outside the palace, and the soldiers knew and didn't know, whether they knew or didn't know, and when they saw him, their expressions were nervous.
"Let's go back." Wu Ya'er said, raising her hand and snapping her fingers.
A big black horse on the edge of the imperial city, who was concentrating on finding tender grass from the cracks in the bluestone bricks, snorted, and had to pass through the tense confrontation of soldiers and horses.
Wu Ya'er got on the horse and urged, watching him come over, not waiting for the general's orders, the soldiers holding swords and guns unconsciously got out of the way, the horse's hooves became more and more, Lao Hu and others followed, and the horse's hooves left in a chaotic and rhythmic manner.
The soldiers and horses surrounding the imperial city breathed a sigh of relief, but they were a little overwhelmed.
What's wrong?
"What's wrong with the crow?"
Entering the house, Lao Hu and the others asked anxiously again.
Wu Ya'er said: "It's okay, Concubine Luo is dead." ”
Lao Hu and the others glanced at each other and felt that this was indeed not a problem.
"Luo Shiqing was killed, and Luo's house was raided." Old Hu said, "Concubine Luo will definitely not live." ”
"Concubine Luo can't live, but she won't die now." Wu Ya'er said: "I thought these adults would understand better. ”
What is the difference between dying now and dying later? The men didn't quite understand, but they didn't ask either.
"Crow, are you trying to save the concubine?" There are men who only ask this.
So they hurriedly went to the imperial city single-handedly, they were almost caught off guard, and when the time came, they were afraid that they would suffer some losses, if they still wanted to fight, everyone would go out and his mother after discussing it now.
Wu Ya'er thought for a while: "I don't save people, people ultimately save themselves." ”
This is even more incomprehensible, and the men look at each other.
Wu Ya'er didn't embarrass them, and soon said something that everyone could understand: "Let's go down first, I want to write a letter to my mother." ”
The men immediately turned around, Lao Hu made a bad gesture to everyone, and then looked back to see that Wu Ya'er had already lifted the pen.
Wu Ya'er quickly called someone in to deliver the letter.
"Write more?" Lao Hu pinched the envelope gently.
Wu Ya'er said: "It's a long way to send it to Yizhou, so write less." ”
First of all, it will be sent to the fake young lady Wu, and she can only give it to Mrs. Wu after she has seen it, how can she be in the mood to write so much, Lao Hu deeply understands and agrees, and takes the letter and arranges for someone to send it quickly.
The fast horse galloped out of the capital and there was no one to stop it.
Now there are only soldiers and horses galloping in the capital, and there will be more in the next few days.
The people of the capital were a little uneasy, especially when they spied on the street to see Luo's door, which was once gorgeous and impossible to look at almost overnight, the blood on the ground did not seem to have dried up, and there were no servants in front of the door and no cars and horses that kept coming in and out day and night.
Luo Shiqing was killed, are the soldiers and horses in this city also chaotic soldiers?
Soon, a team of soldiers and horses in bright armor assembled outside the city, there were eunuchs holding holy decrees, Cui Zheng and other officials embraced, announcing the capital to the world Luo Shiqing confessed his guilt and was ambushed, and Luo Guifei committed suicide in fear of crime.
The traitor has been executed, the Son of Heaven Shengming, countless soldiers and horses swore an oath outside the capital, immediately confronted the traitor Ankang Mountain, and swore to defend Daxia.
The people breathe a sigh of relief, the Son of Heaven is sage, and the world will be stable.
Wu Ya'er's soldiers and horses were not among them, I don't know if they were forgotten by the military department or they didn't listen, a group of people just stood in front of the door and watched the soldiers and horses run by in a row.
"It's like fighting a wolf." Lao Hu shrugged his shoulders and pouted, "It's almost the gongs and drums." ”
As soon as his words fell, the sound of war drums came from the street, accompanied by a calm and long horn, and the neat steps of the soldiers and horses, and the whole capital played a march.
Lao Hu covered his ears and felt the vibration under his feet.
Cui Zheng didn't feel noisy, standing on the high city wall and looking down on the boundless army and horses, the long-term depression dissipated with the noise.
The danger of the Son of Heaven must be solved, and the crisis of Great Xia must be solved.
.....
.....
The palace was quieter than before, and even the palace maids couldn't see it, and they were all arranged to accompany Luo Guifei.
The eunuchs walked in the middle of it, although the flowers were blooming all around, and the spring was bright, but they always felt cold.
The four eunuchs carefully walked into the Begonia Palace, the curtains in the Begonia Palace flew in the wind, as if countless women were dancing, and the white-haired old man sitting in the hall loomed.
"Your Majesty." The eunuchs approached through the curtain and raised the medicine bowl in their hands, "Slaves and maidservants serve you medicine." ”
The emperor did not respond, holding his head in one hand and resting the other on the strings.
Fall asleep again, the eunuchs stepped forward, one knelt down and held the bowl, two supported the emperor, and the other bent over to gently stroke the emperor's jaw with one hand, and picked up the spoon with the other....
"Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine." He said, holding the emperor's chin with his hand, and the emperor's face appeared in front of him.
Blood flowed out of his eyes, nose and mouth on his old face, like a crawling centipede.
The eunuch let out a scream and fell backwards, crashing into the other eunuchs, and the front of the dragon couch suddenly rolled into a ball, and the medicine bowl fell and shattered, hitting the upside-down wine glass on the ground, and the remaining bright red juice in the wine glass shook and splashed.
