Chapter 163: Wave after Wave
The emperor walked over slowly, staring at An Guifei with straight eyes, An Guifei was frightened and took a few steps back, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, listen to me...... On that day you ordered your concubine to carry the poisoned wine......"
"Shut up!" The emperor was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he loudly stopped Concubine An, "What else do you have to justify doing such a vicious thing?" ”
Concubine An raised her head to look at the emperor, stretched out her hand and grabbed his lower skirt tremblingly. She didn't even blink her eyes, and the tears fell all over.
She knew that the emperor was going to sacrifice her to keep the scandal a secret. If she said that it was the emperor who ordered her to bring poisoned wine to the death of Concubine Xiang, then Ru Xu would have explored why the emperor wanted to give Concubine Xiang to death, and then lead to a series of scandalous incidents that year, and maybe even investigate the two children who were sent out of the palace.
Those two children are Xiao Jinzhi and Xiao Bei, both of whom are the children of the emperor and Concubine Xiang. Concubine An knew about this, she hated Concubine Xiang, and was worried that Concubine Xiang's children would become princesses and princes. That's why she hated Xiao Jinzhi so much, and when the emperor sent someone to assassinate Xiao Jinzhi, she also sent people from Six Feet Lane to assassinate her.
But, Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... I'm doing all this for you, from beginning to end! An Guifei's face was pale, her hands slid down, and she threw herself on the ground and cried loudly.
"An's abuse of lynching without abiding by the palace rules is really vicious and unforgivable. From today onwards, she will be deprived of the concubine and reduced to a concubine, and she will be immediately put into the cold palace, and no one will be allowed to visit without my permission! The emperor felt dizzy for a while, and supported Liu Jin on the side to stand firmly.
Although he punished Concubine An so heavily for personal gain, she brutally strangled Concubine Xiang with torture without permission, and this incident also dealt him a lot of blows. Back then, he thought that Concubine Xiang and Concubine An Guifei were good sisters, and when they were in the Prince's Mansion, their relationship was so good, but he didn't expect that jealousy and hatred would make people lose their humanity.
After the emperor left, a few eunuchs came up to pull Concubine An Guifei to the cold palace. Concubine An shook off their hands, "This palace will leave by itself!" ”
After saying that, he glanced at Ruxu and stopped in front of Yulu.
"Are you complicit in this?" An Guifei choked up.
"Yes." Yulu was calm and indifferent, "From the day I entered the palace, the real purpose is for today. All I have done for you is to earn your trust to get to this point. ”
Concubine An bit her lip, "So you've never been loyal to me?" You don't have a moment ......."
Yulu nodded cruelly, "Yes, please don't have any illusions and hopes anymore." You killed Liuli with your own hands, and the calamus also died because of you, and now you have to deal with the lop ear...... Who does Niangniang think lop ear is? ”
Yulu glanced at her coldly, "In my heart, the lop ear is a thousand times more important than your life. You are so selfish and vicious, why do you want Gyokuro to be loyal to you? ”
Concubine An raised her hand and gave Yulu a slap, and suddenly laughed, "The world is so unworthy ......"
After that, she beat her chest, and was finally invited away by several eunuchs. Just as she stepped out of the main hall of Chang'an, she lowered her head and coughed, and spit out a large mouthful of blood from her mouth.
Although she was embarrassed, Concubine An raised her sleeves and wiped her mouth, straightened her waist and walked out of the Chang'an Palace. She will maintain her dignity as a concubine until she dies.
"Lord Kim." Yulu walked up to Ruxu, "Yulu is not at ease, let's ask the adult to pick up the lop." I still have one more thing to do, I need to go to the North Courtyard. ”
Ruxu nodded and left the Chang'an Palace, Yulu instructed the maid to prepare a soup woman for herself, and came to the north courtyard alone with the soup woman in her hand.
The north courtyard is particularly bleak and desolate, the weather is still very cold before the first month, and when I walked here, a gust of winter wind blew, and Yulu couldn't help but shiver.
When I walked into the house in the north courtyard, I saw Hong Chao sitting in the corner with his hair scattered and wrapped in a moldy quilt, the room was very dark, and only a few candles were lit. Gyokuro opened the door and swept in a gust of wind, and Hongchao looked back to see her.
When she saw Yulu, she couldn't help but smile, "Miss Yulu came today, is she here to take my life?" The girl is gaining the trust and appreciation of the concubine, and you can't move the red dynasty. But the world is unpredictable, and the coming day ......"
"Concubine An has been stripped of her title and sent to the cold palace, and there is no longer such a person as a concubine in the harem." Gyokuro stood and looked down at her, "I'm here today just to tell you something. ”
Hongchao looked at Yulu in disbelief, and didn't even care what she was going to say, "The noble concubine has been beaten into the cold palace...... This can't be, this can't be ......"
"I guess Iris've already discovered my identity, so she must have told you before she left. If she doesn't come back, she must find a way to bring me down and catch the person behind me, right? Gyokuro asked.
Hong Chao didn't expect that she had already dialysed everything, "You killed Liuli and Calamus, how could I stop in Six Feet Alley!" ”
"I killed Ruri and Calamus?" Yulu sneered, "I'm here today to tell you one thing, lest you be a wretched worm in the dark." ”
"On the same day, the matter of the secret room was exposed, and the concubine Niangniang pushed all the things on Liuli, and then it happened that the commander found Liuli...... However, within five days, Ruri died in prison. Who do you think this is? Yulu squatted down and placed Tang Pozi in Hongchao's hand.
"I was still sick that day, and it was the lop ear that accompanied Niangniang to the prison. In the prison, Niangniang poisoned Liuli with a poisonous needle. ”
Hongchao stuffed Tang Pozi back into Yulu's hand, "You talk nonsense! ”
"Yes, it's true that I'm talking nonsense. In fact, it was not Liuli who was in the prison that day, but the calamus who was seriously injured and on the verge of life and death. Niangniang should never have imagined that when she killed Calamus and poisoned her, Liuli was next door and heard all their conversations and events. ”
"Guess how the real Ruri died?" Yulu smiled, and Hong Chao looked at her deadly.
She hanged herself to death, leaving a handwritten letter before she died. There was also a note in it, asking Nan Wang Ye to hand it over to the rest of the party in the six-foot lane in the Chang'an Palace. Yulu took out the note from her bosom and handed it to Hongchao, "You open it and take a look, and you will know if what I said is wrong." ”
The red court snatched it and opened it. Through the dim light, I saw a line of words on the note, "After serving for more than ten years, the relationship between master and servant has been broken to this day, and Liuli has never been at ease." ”
Hongchao pinched the note in his hand, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Yulu shoved the soup woman into her hand again and looked in the direction of the window, "Spring is coming soon, and there is still hope for everything." ”
With that, he left the North Courtyard.
This said that Ruxu was going to Wuzong Building to pick up the lop ear, but in the middle of the night, she inadvertently saw Hua Yulou being escorted into Wuzong Building.
What happened? Why was Huayulou taken to Wuzong Tower? Ruxu frowned.
As soon as Xu Xu walked to the door of Wuzong Building, he saw lop ears being pushed and shoved out of it, "Get out and get out!" Someone's coming to pick you up! ”
Lop was wearing a thin undershirt, as soon as she looked up, she saw Ru Xu, her eyes were full of red bloodshots, and her face was full of dried tears, she looked at Ru Xu at this time and didn't react, and walked a few steps forward sluggishly.
Ruxu found that one of her feet seemed to be lame, so she quickly took off the cloak on her shoulder and tied it for her, and then put it over her shoulder and said, "Lop, can you hear me?" ”
The lop ear seemed to hear someone call her name, turned her head and glanced at Ruxu with blank eyes, and finally recognized Ruxu, "Childe ......"
The next moment, she couldn't hold it anymore and fell, and Ruxu quickly hugged her in her arms.
Gyokuro rushed to the place where Ruxu got into the carriage, and finally saw the lop ear, which she hadn't seen for ten days. She confirmed the injury of the lop ear, and said to Ruxu, "Childe, you take her back first, and there will be a way for Doctor He to rejuvenate him." ”
"Aren't you going with us?" Ruxu grabbed her arm.
"Not yet. Yulou is still in Xiangle Palace, I have to go and tell him that I want to go together. Gyokuro said.
Ruxu was silent for a moment, "Just now when I went to pick up the lop ear, I saw Hua Yulou being brought into Wuzong Building......"
"What you said is true?" Gyokuro's eyes widened and she looked at Ru Xu, and her expression of disbelief immediately turned to worry.
"Don't worry about it yet, there should be a new change in the middle. We still don't understand the whole thing yet, so we should go back to the house and discuss it again. Although Xu said this, his tone was still full of worry.
If you hadn't committed a major crime, you wouldn't have been able to enter the Wuzong Building. It can be seen that Hua Yulou has encountered a major event, but this major event has not been heard, it has already happened in silence, if she didn't happen to see Hua Yulou today, maybe she wouldn't even know about it.
Such a confidential event must be closely related to the royal family. However, Hua Yulou ...... Ruxu's eyes sank.
Hua Yulou's identity is special, this matter is beyond her ability, maybe she can only wait for Qianwu to return to the palace to make a turnaround.
The lop ear seemed to hear someone call her name, turned her head and glanced at Ruxu with blank eyes, and finally recognized Ruxu, "Childe ......"
The next moment, she couldn't hold it anymore and fell, and Ruxu quickly hugged her in her arms.
Gyokuro rushed to the place where Ruxu got into the carriage, and finally saw the lop ear, which she hadn't seen for ten days. She confirmed the injury of the lop ear, and said to Ruxu, "Childe, you take her back first, and there will be a way for Doctor He to rejuvenate him." ”
"Aren't you going with us?" Ruxu grabbed her arm.
"Not yet. Yulou is still in Xiangle Palace, I have to go and tell him that I want to go together. Gyokuro said.
Ruxu was silent for a moment, "Just now when I went to pick up the lop ear, I saw Hua Yulou being brought into Wuzong Building......"
"What you said is true?" Gyokuro's eyes widened and she looked at Ru Xu, and her expression of disbelief immediately turned to worry.
