Chapter 13: Confrontation
I suppressed the anger in my heart, knowing that I was indeed a little too reckless and impulsive, and angrily kicked the half-severed sword aside and stopped.
Mo Yue'er was pointed at the acupoints all over her body, and she couldn't move, but she was also good at making Gu, and she couldn't be sloppy at all. I raised my vigilance and searched her all over her body, especially her collar and cuffs. Then pinch open her jaw and pull out a tiny, wax-sealed pill from under her tongue.
Only then did the mad stone relieve her dumb hole, and her tongue regained its agility, and she immediately asked me fiercely: "Is this another trap you set?" ”
I was a little puzzled and inexplicable, and the cool words behind me said on my behalf: "Yes and what, no, what? You have long suspected fraud, and it is not that you can't resist the temptation of the Candle Dragon Order, and you have thrown yourself into the net. ”
"The Candle Dragon Order is not in the Imperial Study at all!" Mo Yue'er asked hatefully: "It's your woman's conspiracy again!" ”
I just remembered that I had indeed mentioned to Liang Ci that in the Bodhi Sect dungeon, someone pretended to be the Qiwang Mansion to obtain information about Huolin and the others and the Candle Dragon Order. I misled that the Candle Dragon Order was in the Imperial Study. Thinking that this news was very important, the master of the altar was eager to make meritorious contributions and immediately sent someone to send the news into the palace.
Could it be that Liang Ci and Crazy Stone will plan to take advantage of today's concubine ceremony, Mingli mobilized most of the guards to the ancestral worship hall, secretly laid an ambush here, and waited for the rabbit to catch Mo Yue'er who ventured into the imperial study?
"The thief shouted to catch the thief, obviously you are plotting against you, and the conspiracy and trickery are endless, and you can't do it, but now you actually bite back!" I smiled coldly, stared into her eyes, and asked word by word: "Mo Yue'er, I only ask you one sentence, why do you want to harm Hui'er?" ”
Mo Yue'er snorted disdainfully: "Hui'er's eyes are poisonous, I didn't expect to see through my identity just by a scar, I naturally can't keep her alive, it's a big deal for me." ”
I looked down at the back of her hand, it was really smooth and delicate, flawless: "Lan'er was there at the time, wasn't it?" ”
"Not bad. That day, Lan'er reported to us, and we arranged that good show in Juxian Building. After Lan'er learned the news, she actually asked me to ask for the guilt, and Hui'er who was following behind knew about it. After I poisoned her, I used Gu worms to absorb the remaining poison in her body, and faked it as if she had hanged herself. ”
Mo Yue'er looked indifferent, as if killing someone was as light as killing an ant with her fingertips.
"You have worked hard in my Su family for so many years and killed so many innocent lives. Mo Yue'er, you killed Yiyang Zhenren, Ya'er killed her mouth, killed her sixth aunt, poisoned Hui'er, murdered Yan San, blamed me, forced Lan'er to death, pile after pile, did many evils, and committed many crimes. You don't repent, and now you have infiltrated the palace and stole the Candle Dragon Order, what are your Bodhi Sect's plans? I asked angrily.
Mo Yue'er glanced at me coldly: "Stealing the Candle Dragon Order?" The Candle Dragon Order was originally my Miao Jiang holy relic! ”
"Your sect leader is a descendant of Mo Xingtian, right?" Liang Ci didn't talk much nonsense, and asked sharply: "A few years ago, Miao Jiang launched a mutiny, causing my peace and soul to be ruined, what does it have to do with your Bodhi Sect?" ”
Mo Yue'er snorted from her nostrils, full of disdain: "Do you think I will confess?" ”
"It doesn't matter, if you don't confess, naturally someone will confess, you and your master trampled on her blood and sneaked into the harem step by step, I think, she should be no less than you know. I just don't know if she is like you, she can't stand the torture. Liang Ci was silent, and threw the remaining problems to the emperor.
Mo Yue'er's face changed significantly, she glanced at the emperor behind the bookcase, and forced her composure: "Our master? Who is our master? ”
The emperor stared at Yue'er, who was kneeling on the ground, his face was expressionless, he couldn't see his joy and anger, and he said word by word for a while: "Xuanzi Jin Zhaoyi went to the imperial study!" ”
Madness went to the door and passed the word, and immediately a eunuch rushed away, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mo Yue'er, who was kneeling on the ground, shook her shoulders almost invisibly: "Yes, Zijin Zhaoyi is indeed my former master, and I can't escape it." ”
I couldn't help but be stunned, why did Mo Yue'er confess so happily?
"Not only Zijin Zhaoyi is, but so is her Su Qingwen, everyone in the Su family is, I was originally the servant of the Su family, and if I want to cure the crime of harboring, no one can escape death." Yue'er sneered.
"Strong words, Mo Yue'er! Zijin Zhaoyi hid you almost seamlessly as soon as the golden cicada came out of her shell, and used a little trick to trick Qing's Xue Lian to remove the scars on the back of your hands, so that you can easily become her and stay by her side with peace of mind. Originally, this was indeed a good strategy to hide from the world, but who expected that being smart would be mistaken by cleverness, and it would become the most favorable evidence against her. Don't you admit it yet? Madstone continued to ask.
"Disguise? Lord God Catcher is worthy of Lord God Catcher, so rich in imagination. I can say, "You are a sin that you want to add, and you have no excuse?" Who am I disguised as? What does it have to do with Zijin Zhaoyi? And what proof do you have? ”
Crazy Shi was just about to speak, but Liang Ci had already raised his hand to stop him: "One hundred secrets, I'm afraid it's going to be bad, I implore the emperor to immediately issue an order, let Crazy Shi go to Zijin Zhaoyi's palace and search her mother's room." ”
Hearing this, Crazy Shi was also like an initiation, and arched his hand to the emperor and said: "Weichen's request is urgent. ”
"Not allowed!" An extremely displeased voice came from the door: "It's ridiculous! How could the emperor believe such absurd words? ”
My heart sank, and I had already guessed who it was. Except for the Queen Mother, who else can have such majesty and domineering? Looking back, it was really the Queen Mother, who walked in with a sinking face under the support of wheat.
"Excuse me! I can't afford your dignified gift from the county lord! The Queen Mother shook the sleeves of her robe over my face fiercely and said in a deep voice.
The emperor frowned slightly, then quickly left the table and stepped forward to help the queen mother sit down on the chair next to her.
"Queen Mother, your complexion has not been very good lately, why don't you have a good rest in the Puning Palace and come to the imperial study?" The emperor asked.
"Hmph, if I don't come again, I don't know what this demon girl will look like in this palace?" The Queen Mother said angrily: "The emperor ignored the canonization ceremony, put Zijin and Lan Ying'er aside, and ran away with this demon girl in front of hundreds of civil and military officials!" Now I listened to her instigation and framed the assassin on Zijin's head, Your Majesty, you are confused! ”
"Queen Mother, Qingwen is not a demon girl, she is my future princess." Liang Ci, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly defended himself: "And everything today is planned by Erchen, and it has nothing to do with Qingwu." ”
The people in the room were shocked, they didn't expect that Liang Ci would come up with such a sentence coldly. Even the queen mother and the emperor were stunned.
"What if I don't say yes?" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said, her face was full of blood and blood, showing a trace of bruises.
"Promise, she is the princess of my Qi King, if you don't agree, she is my Gu Liangci's wife." Liang Ci lowered his head and said lightly without raising his head.
"Good! Good! Good! Sure enough, it's good! Have a temper with her! If you dare to blackmail me, then you have to see if this demon girl has her life! The Queen Mother took the case, obviously angry to the extreme, the phoenix hairpin on her head trembled for a while, her whole body trembled, and her lips were even more abnormally bruised.
The emperor hurriedly stepped forward, caressed the queen mother's heart, and whispered comfort: "The queen mother is angry, King Qi is investigating the case, his temperament is inevitably a little impatient, and he can't count the words he says." ”
The Queen Mother brushed away the emperor's hand and said sharply: "Don't intercede for him!" For the sake of this demon girl, he has disobeyed me again and again, and if he didn't give him some color, he would never know how thick the sky is! ”
"The Queen Mother! This is our family's housework, and we will discuss it slowly when we return to the palace. Now that there is a Bodhi case imminent, it is important for us to try the case first. ”
Since ancient times, the harem has not interfered in politics, since it is related to the major affairs of the government and politics, no matter how strong the Empress Dowager is, she should not be too involved, so she can only sit down indignantly: "I naturally will not participate in the government politics, but if it is related to the peace of my harem and the face of the country, I will naturally not condone you to mess around." ”
The emperor nodded yes again and again, and secretly glanced at the cold words.
Gonggong Guo bowed down and entered the imperial study, and reported in a whisper: "Zijin Zhaoyi has arrived, waiting outside the door." ”
"Announce quickly." Before the emperor could reply, the queen mother had already preemptively ordered.
Gonggong Guo withdrew, and after a while, Qingqing, who was dressed in full costume, walked in Nana with the support of the palace maid.
"Zijin, I announced that you are here because I want you to see an old man." The emperor pardoned Qingqing's gift and said coldly.
"The deceased?" Qingqing raised her head and looked around: "Your Majesty, you said Qingwu, we have already seen it in the ancestral worship hall." ”
The emperor shook his head: "Come and see, this one on the ground, do you know?" ”
Qingqing got up slowly, glanced at Yue'er on the ground suspiciously, and retreated again and again in horror, her face was pale, and she trembled: "Yue'er, Yue'er, how could it be you?" Aren't you already dead? ”
"This question, the Crazy Stone Catcher and the Qi Princes are also very strange, they obviously saw this Mo Yue'er commit suicide by taking poison with their own eyes, why did they sneak into my imperial study today in disguise and steal?" The emperor said coldly: "Maybe Zijin Zhaoyi can help us explain, how did she appear in the palace?" What is the status now? ”
Qingqing took two steps back in horror: "The concubine doesn't know, after Yue'er committed suicide, I saw her die of poison with my own eyes, and then the concubine took care of the feelings of the old master and servant, and sent someone to bury her, which is absolutely true." ”
The emperor leaned on the dragon chair behind the bookcase, closed his eyes, as if he was pretending to sleep: "Zijin, what about the grandmother who you serve next to you on weekdays?" Why hasn't it been seen today? ”
"What did the emperor say about Mama Yu? Although she was selected by Qingqing's mother for Qingqing after thousands of selections, she has never seen any big world, I am afraid that she does not understand the rules in the canonization ceremony and loses her dignity, so I sent her to stay in Siyin Palace. Why did the emperor suddenly ask about her? Qingqing smiled and replied softly.
"Okay, Grandpa Guo, you have worked hard to bring Mama here in Siyin Palace." After the emperor finished speaking, he closed his eyes again, as if he was exhausted, and stopped talking.
