What happened just now naturally couldn't have been an accident.

Empress Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Put them all away and examine them carefully." ”

"Yes." Su Ying bowed, knowing that the stakes were very high, and she didn't think about protending to others, and was about to collect those things in person, "Wait." ”

At this moment, a shout sounded, and then, a string of heavy boots sounded from far and near, and the armor pieces on the armor collided with the rivets with the footsteps, neatly aligned, but also solemn.

A team of Jinyi guards actually gathered around quickly, led by a general flag, and when they got closer, they hugged their fists and saluted Queen Zheng, and then, showed a token and said, "The queen mother, please forgive me, according to Your Majesty's will, this matter will be taken over by Jinyiwei, these things, the humble position should also be put away, and sent to the Yamen of the Pacification Division, and please forgive the mother." ”

Pei Jinzhen's heart was shocked, and he subconsciously squeezed the hand of Empress Zheng who was carrying, "Niangniang? ”

Empress Zheng's face was slightly pale, but her expression was quite calm, "Since it is Your Majesty's will, you will do it yourself." ”

The general flag answered, glanced back, and immediately the bright-eyed man stepped forward to put the brazier and the bow robe away, and then, after bowing to Empress Zheng, he took the people away.

There was a slight silence around, and Pei Jinzhen looked at Empress Zheng hesitantly, "Niangniang? ”

Empress Zheng's expression was a little dazed at first, and when she heard Pei Jinzhen's call, she suddenly pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed, "After tossing for a day, you are also tired, there is still Brother Sheng at home, go back and rest early!" ”

After saying that, he waved his hand, broke away from Pei Jinji's hand holding her, beckoned Su Ying to come over, helped her, and turned away.

Pei Jinzhen stood behind her, looked at her back, tightened his eyebrows, and after a while, he picked up the corner of his skirt and turned around.

Just now, the attitude of those brocade guards was really a little strange, she had to ask Yan Chong.

Who knows, when I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw that the carriage was already waiting, but I didn't see Yan Chong, but Luo Lin was waiting with a sword on the side.

"The son has an important official business temporarily, and his subordinates send his wife home."

Urgent business? Isn't it, Your Majesty asked him to investigate today's incident?

At night, when Yan Chong finally came back, Pei Jinzhen couldn't help it, "How is it?" ”

Yan Chong never hid it from her, knowing that she was strict-mouthed, it was nothing to tell her, and occasionally, she could surprise him and let him solve the problem from a completely different angle.

"The bow coat was pre-coated with a powder similar to saltpeter, which ignited when it caught fire and fueled the fire. Even the charcoal in the brazier is also special, from the outside, it looks like ordinary silver frost charcoal, but the inside is wrapped with the same charcoal coated with that kind of medicinal powder, the time is very accurate, when the imperial uncle threw the bow clothes into the fire, it just so happened that the charcoal also burned inside. ”

When the two are added together, the flames will instantly soar so high.

Pei Jinzhen swallowed his saliva with some difficulty, "Who is this...... How dare you assassinate Your Majesty? ”

Earlier, I guessed that it would not be an accident, but I didn't expect that things would be so tricky.

Such a careful plan is naturally aimed at His Majesty, if it weren't for Ye Zhun blocking it once, Emperor Yonghe still doesn't know what would happen now.

"By the way, not long after you left, Jinyiwei came to take over everything...... "It stands to reason that this is a matter of the inner court, and it is natural for Empress Zheng to ask."

Yan Chong's expression was a little complicated for a moment, "Ye Zhun woke up and gave Uncle Huang a secret letter, what was written on the secret letter, no one knew, only Uncle Huang read the letter, so he ordered Jin Yiwei to take over the case with full authority and not let anyone in the harem interfere." ”

Something to do with Ye Zhun? Pei Jinzhen hesitated for a moment, "This matter ...... Didn't you get the wind beforehand? "Will it ...... Is it Ye Zhun's bitter meat trick? And what is the relationship between him and Ye Zhun now?

Yan Chong looked at her, her expression was a little complicated, and although she didn't say a lot of words, they knew each other well.

"Just now, the queen mother has already been grounded in the Fengzao Palace." Yan Chong did not directly answer Pei Jinji's words, but dropped a bomb.

"What?" Pei Jinzhen was so shocked that his face changed.

"Xu Shanggong of the Siyi Bureau is a close confidant of the queen's mother, but just now, when Jinyiwei went to the Siyi Bureau to get someone, Xu Shanggong had already hanged himself in the room. The twelve eunuchs of the inner palace are now investigating one by one, but the chamberlain who is responsible for buying silver frost charcoal is gone, and the chamberlain also has something to do with the queen's mother......"

Before the words fell, there was a sudden knock on the door, Yan Chong raised his hand, and Luo Lin outside the house said to himself, "Childe, there is news from Lord Shao, and Gonggong Guo has found it, but he has died in a restaurant, from the shopkeeper to the running hall, and the guests, all of whom were spared, and they were all killed with a knife." ”

After hearing this, Pei Jinzhen and Yan Chong's faces changed greatly, and Yan Chong stood up even more "Teng" and was about to go out.

Pei Jinzhen turned pale, and subconsciously pulled his arm.

He looked back at her, but saw her expression and said quietly, "When the time comes, it won't!" Queen Mother, she will never harm Your Majesty. ”

Pei Jinzhen didn't know what she said, it was stupid, but she had to say these words.

"One night husband and wife for a hundred days, just now, the queen is still very concerned about the safety of Her Majesty......"

"However, they are not ordinary couples, and the people in the palace are also the best at acting, which one is not wearing a mask to live?" Yan Chong asked rhetorically, this sentence was plain, and he didn't mean to take sides.

Cruel, but true.

Pei Jinzhen's face turned pale, and the hand on his sleeve finally let go and slipped down.

Seeing her like this, Yan Chong was distressed, so he stepped forward and kissed her lightly on the forehead, "Good!" Don't be cranky, everything will fall out eventually. ”

Pei Jinzhen nodded, looked at him and turned around, striding into the night, his expression slightly darkened.

What comes out is not necessarily the truth. After all, the palace is the place where the truth is least needed.

For several days in a row, because of the assassination of His Majesty on the Winter Clothes Festival, Jinyiwei was busy, and Yan Chong has never returned since that day.

Pei Jinzhen already had a premonition in his heart, although it was too obvious, but there was no proof of death, this time, the queen mother was speechless, and she really walked into a dead end.

Sure enough, within two days, news came out from the palace.

Empress Zheng moved to the palace to Xiye, although there was no clear charge, but it was like being thrown into the cold palace, although it has not been abolished, the phoenix seal has been handed over to the imperial concubine for the time being.

Nearly 30 years of husband and wife, Empress Zheng accompanied Emperor Yonghe, from an ordinary noble child, to today's noble world, although the heavenly family is cold, the relationship between husband and wife has been broken, but Emperor Yonghe has always been protective of Empress Zheng, but after all, he has not been able to protect it.

When his life was at stake, he had to be suspicious, and he would not take any more risks, he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, even if this person was his closest pillow person, it would not be different. This is the Sacred Heart, this is the Emperor's will, accompanied by the king like a tiger, since ancient times.
