Chapter 28: A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix
Prince Chun had been imprisoned in the water prison all night, and he had lost his sharpness and felt fear. He didn't want to die in prison like this, and the scene of playing with the emperor when he was a child appeared in front of him, and he regretted it a little, blaming his mother for the provocation of the Empress Dowager Qingyu.
"Someone! I want to see the emperor. ”
When the emperor heard that Prince Chun wanted to see him, this was also expected.
"Zhao De brought Prince Chun to see me."
The dark cell door opened, revealing a bright light, and Prince Chun was taken to the Qinzheng Palace. Prince Chun threw himself on his knees,
"The younger brother visited the imperial brother and hoped that the imperial brother would spare his younger brother's life. This younger brother's rebellion was all instigated by his mother, the Empress Dowager Qingyu. ”
In order to survive, Prince Chun showed his mother, the Empress Dowager Qingyu. I thought that the imperial brother might spare his life.
The emperor has long known that the Empress Dowager Qingyu has ambitions, and when the first emperor was alive, he fought openly and secretly with the Empress Dowager Xi for the establishment of the crown prince, and instigated his son to usurp the throne when the first emperor died.
Zhou Chun obeyed the decree and removed Prince Zhou Chun from the throne. Go to the Qinglong Cemetery to guard the soul of the emperor. Remove the Empress Dowager Huang of Qingyu. Go to the cemetery to keep a vigil for the first emperor.
"Zhou Chun thanks the emperor for not killing him."
"Zhou Chunzhen came to ask you, did you do it because the beams in the palace were broken?"
"It's my brother's doing, the royal brothers are confused!"
Guo Qingyang listened to the order and eradicated all Zhou Chun's dead friends in the palace.
"Minister's purpose!"
The next day, twenty guards protected the emperor and queen to go to the temple to pray for the queen mother, and did not encounter any assassins along the way. I haven't seen the emperor come to Haitang Palace in the past few days, and Yun Yao is a little lonely.
"The Little Red Emperor hasn't been in the palace for a few days?"
"Concubine Yuyun hasn't been to the palace for two days."
"If the emperor doesn't come, don't stew ginseng soup every day, and it's not too late to stew when he comes."
Yun Yao opened the embroidery bag and took out the show thread and embroidered a birthday gift for the Queen Mother. It is a pair of silk brocade screen of a hundred birds and a phoenix. Only a little embroidery work is left at the end. The embroidered backache and leg pain can be regarded as a complete job. Yun Yao planned to move her waist and legs and came to the courtyard to enjoy the flowers. Suddenly, I heard a woman's cry from the palace next door, and next door was Ruan Guifei's Chaoyang Palace. I wonder what happened? Yun Yao jumped onto the palace wall.
Ruan Guifei knelt in the moonlight.
"Daddy's daughter will go with you, you wait for your daughter!"
I saw her open a small pink porcelain bottle and put it in her mouth. Yun Yao couldn't see it well, so she flew down and kicked the porcelain bottle in her hand. Ruan Guifei was frightened and sat down on the ground.
Yun Yao hurriedly picked up Ruan Guifei, who was sitting on the ground, "Why is my sister looking for a short sword, isn't it good to live well?" ”
Ruan Guifei became alert, "Why did Concubine Yun break into my palace?" Get me out of here, or I'll call someone." ”
"I heard my sister's cry in the palace courtyard, I don't know what happened, my sister doesn't need to panic, Yun Yao just go out. But sister, don't kill yourself. Valuing the body is the best filial piety to parents. Yun Yao will leave."
"Wait!"
Concubine Yun, can you come and sit in my palace?
"Thank you for saving me, and this is your reward." Ruan Guifei handed a gold ingot to Yun Yao.
"Sister, I don't want this, is there water? Yun Yao was a little thirsty. ”
Seeing that Yun Yao was not a villain, Ruan Guifei withdrew her guard.
Yun Yao followed Ruan Guifei into the palace. Ruan Guifei made her a cup of tea, and Yun Yao looked at Ruan Guifei in front of her while drinking.
"Sister, you are so good-looking, you are the princess before the emperor ascended the throne?"
"Ten days ago, she was a nobleman, but now she has been reduced to a nobleman. My father was murdered by an adulterer, and I was implicated. Ten days ago, I was walking in the imperial garden, and the little prince I met was close to the prince for a while, and the prince had a fever after he went back. I told the Empress Dowager Xi about this, and the Empress Dowager Xi decreed that I would be reduced to a concubine. They knew that my father was gone, and they took the opportunity to demote me to the rank of concubine. Removed all the slaves and maids from my side. Originally, the emperor snubbed me, so that the emperor would not come in the future. ”
"Sister, you have such a big hatred, how can you kill yourself? Aren't you avenging your parents? Live well and avenge your parents. ”
