Chapter 221: Early Interrogation
Kunning Palace.? Follow? Dream?. com
The queen opened her eyes, she froze, and in a moment, the haze in her eyes vanished, replaced by a deep hatred.
She slowly lifted the curtain and asked, "What time is it?" ”
The palace maid replied, "Yu Niangniang, it's time." ”
"Wait for Hongu to get up."
"Yes."
After washing, the palace maid was dressing up the queen, and a grandmother walked in, "Niangniang, the seventh prince is here again, waiting outside the palace." ”
The queen did not speak.
A trace of unbearability flashed in Mama's eyes, and she couldn't help but persuade, "Niangniang, the Seventh Prince is waiting outside the palace every day, just to greet you."
"It's not easy to persist in such a move for a month or two, let alone three years.
"The Seventh Prince is indeed sincere and filial to Niangniang, Niangniang, you might as well go and meet him."
The corners of the queen's mouth crossed a touch of sarcasm: "Sincerity and filial piety? Heh, it's just to take what you need."
As soon as she had said a word, she coughed violently.
Mama hurriedly stepped forward to help her calm down, "Niangniang, don't get excited, take care of your body." ”
As he spoke, he took the teacup from the hand of the palace maid on the side and fed her carefully.
After taking a sip of water, the queen felt a little more comfortable in her throat, she quietly looked at herself in the mirror, her right hand stroked the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her expression was lonely and gloomy.
The person in the mirror is already like a peony that has failed, withering to the point that only one branch remains, and even this branch is about to wither.
She suddenly chuckled and stood up holding Mama's hand, "Go and call him." ”
The palace maid immediately went.
The Seventh Prince walked in with flowers in his hand: "Erchen, please say hello to the queen mother." ”
"Erchen passed by the imperial garden just now, and saw that the flowers were blooming just right, so he picked some and bottled them for the queen mother.
"I hope these flowers can make the queen mother feel better and recover soon."
Mama glanced at the queen's face, and saw that she had no objection, so she said to the palace maid on the side, "Why don't you go find a vase, put the flowers up, and put them in this palace, so that the mother can see them every day." ”
The maid immediately went over to catch the flowers.
The Seventh Prince kept his smile unchanged and asked gently, "How is the Queen Mother's body today?" Is it better? ”
The queen didn't answer his words, but said to Mama, "You all go down, this palace has something to say to the Seventh Prince." ”
So, all the palace people in the palace withdrew.
When the Seventh Prince saw this, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know what the queen wanted to say to him.
Soon, he knew, because the queen said slowly, "Three years ago, Wang Zhaoyi suddenly came to the palace and said that she wanted the palace to adopt you.
"This palace knows her intentions in her heart, the Wang family was excluded in the court, and she was harassed by the four concubines in the harem, and her life was sad, so she wanted to use the power of this palace to save your life and her status.
"At that time, the palace lost the crown prince, although he kept the status of the queen, but he had no children under his knees, and it was very difficult to turn over.
"There is a lack of a child in this palace, Wang Zhaoyi lacks a backer, she personally sent it to the door, how can this palace not agree, this is also to take what they need and use each other.
"I think Wang Zhaoyi must have told you about these things, since you and I know it, you don't need to pretend to be a filial son every day, you are tired, and this palace is also tired."
The seventh prince hurriedly knelt down, "Queen Mother, don't say that, after so many years, Erchen has long regarded you as his biological mother, and Erchen's heart for you is the same as his heart for his mother." ”
"Huh." The queen let out a sneer, "No matter what, it will never be the same, you are not the biological child of this palace after all."
"The main palace that should help you has already helped, and from now on, you don't have to come to Kunning Palace."
The Seventh Prince's heart tightened: "Does the queen mother want a son?" ”
"Yes, this palace doesn't need you anymore, and besides, all the power in the hands of this palace has been handed over to you, and there is nothing useful for you here."
"The queen mother, the sons are not all for this"
The queen stretched out her hand to stop his defense, "There is no need to explain, this palace knows it in her heart."
"Now the queen of this palace is also a void, she has no real power, and she can't help you anymore.
"The fate of you and my mother and son ends here, you don't want to come to Kunning Palace again in the future, this palace doesn't want to see you again."
The Seventh Prince wanted to say more, but when he touched the queen's indifferent and ruthless eyes, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
In the end, he knelt on the ground and solemnly kowtowed to the queen three times, "Take care of the queen mother, and the sons and daughters will retire." ”
When he walked outside the hall, the queen turned her head to look at him, looking at his back, the look in the queen's eyes was very complicated.
Mama walked in and said earnestly, "Niangniang, why do you bother?
"In this deep palace, it is always good for women to have someone to support each other, not to mention that you are the queen, and all the children in the palace are your children."
The queen curled the corners of her mouth and sneered, "My child? My child is dead.
"The reason why he still doesn't let go is just that he thinks that I still have a strong force in my hands, and he is unwilling not to get it.
"But this last power, how can I give it to others.
"These are the things I use to avenge my son.
"This time, I'm going to have to hit it with one hit."
In the main hall, the courtiers were discussing the questions raised by the emperor.
At this time, Gonggong Zhang quietly walked to the emperor's side and whispered a few words.
I saw that the emperor's face changed, and he coughed lightly.
The ministers immediately stopped talking and looked at the emperor.
"Bring that assassin here, and I'll interrogate him myself."
Suddenly hearing this, some people didn't react for a while, and the alert people immediately understood who the assassin the emperor was referring to, and quickly turned their brains to think about the meaning of the emperor's action.
Soon, Lu Mian escorted the assassin to the main hall.
Everyone looked at the Assassin on the ground, his body was scarred, new and old wounds were stacked on top of each other, and the flesh was turned out, looking so terrifying that the timid officials didn't even dare to look at it.
The Emperor stared at the Assassin and said in a deep voice, "Say, who ordered you to assassinate me?" ”
The assassin seemed to be seriously injured, unable to kneel, and could only sit on the ground, he was angry, "It's the old general Yang of the Northwest." ”
All of a sudden, the hall suddenly became extremely quiet.
But soon, some people questioned "He is framing General Yang, General Yang has done his best for Dayuan, he has been fighting abroad all year round when he is young, and he often can't go home for several years, and he has left an old injury, and when the weather suddenly changes, the old injury will attack, which is extremely painful."
"How could such a loyal man assassinate His Majesty?
"Your Majesty, this must be a false accusation, please ask Your Majesty to interrogate him strictly."
The emperor snorted coldly, "Strict interrogation? This is the result of the rigorous interrogation. ”
The man was stunned and speechless.
Someone else stood up and said, "His words are not enough to prove that General Yang is the mastermind." ”
The emperor snorted coldly again, and picked up the token on the side, "This is the token found from the assassin, it is the token of the Yang Mansion."
"With all the stolen goods, what else do you have to say?"
