Chapter 446: Wet Red Lotus at Night
"Mother, are you alright?" Feng Lan supported Concubine Chun, who was covered with blood and ideas, and said worriedly: "This pot of blood water, I don't know who it is, the slave maid should hurry up and help you go back to the palace to bathe and change your clothes." ”
Su Wanrong was shocked when she saw the pot of red blood at first. At this moment, the pot smashed on the ground, blood splattered three feet, and she was covered with herself, but she was relieved. "Whether it's a snake's head in the silver kettle, or a blood water, isn't it the consistent style of Concubine Xian. What is there to be afraid of in this palace, if she has the ability, she will cut the throat of this palace and release the blood of this palace, and then swallow it one bite at a time, and this palace is afraid that she will respect her. ”
Restrained her voice, Su Wanrong gritted her teeth viciously, and said in a gloomy voice: "The Queen Mother wants to support Concubine Xian to replace the queen, she is really blind, and with Concubine Xian's thoughts, it is not worthy of lifting shoes for the palace." Isn't she just relying on her background, what else is so great? Hmph"
Fenglan understands Concubine Chun's mind the most, and she has to be sarcastic: "Don't take it to heart, that concubine just treats herself as a beast, with a fierce momentum, but she is actually a brainless." Just look at her single-mindedly pleasing the queen, but I don't know how the queen resents her in her heart. ”
"Go back to the palace." Su Wanrong and Fenglan glanced at each other, and then sneered: "The Queen Mother even got rid of Cao Xuyan, I think I can't bear it for long, let's just wait and see." ”
Hongli came out of the prison, and his face was gloomy as if he was about to eat people. On the shoulder, he only said to go to Changchun Palace, and there was no longer any sound.
Li Yu knew that it must be Cao Qinchuan's death, which angered the emperor, so much so that the emperor asked Cao Xuyan to take Cao Xuyan to the squad of the imperial guards. Put people under the noses of the imperial guards and watch to see what else can happen.
Fu Heng received the emperor's order and led Cao Xuyan to the inner guard room. In front of Xue Guining, he explained to the people below: "You have all heard clearly, the emperor has an order, let us take good care of this Imperial Doctor Cao." You have to protect him as well as you protect your own wealth and life, and if he has the slightest mistake, watch out for your heads. The emperor repeatedly told him that if there was anything wrong with this person, none of the guards on duty in the guard room would want to live. Including the manager, do you hear me clearly? ”
Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly hugged their fists, and no one dared to slack off.
Cao Xuyan naturally knew the relationship between Fu Heng and the queen, and remembering what Concubine Yu had explained a few days ago, he hurriedly approached Fu Heng and said in a low voice: "My lord, I have something to do with the queen......
Fu Heng was slightly stunned, glanced at him and said, "The inner room is safe, Imperial Doctor Cao is still resting inside." If there's something wrong, I'll go with you. ”
Smiling slightly, Cao Xuyan didn't panic, and as Fu Heng walked in, he said quietly: "If they want to kill me, they will do it in the prison." The emperor asked the prisoner to search carefully, and finally found that the poisoned arrow was shot in from a small air window, not to mention the angle, and the person who shot the arrow could hardly see where his uncle was. You can only shoot into this cell out of thin air. But there was only one arrow, and one arrow killed. Such a good skill, if you want to kill it, it is as easy as a hand.
But they didn't, so they guessed online that they were preparing to leave me with this cruel life, and slowly torture and humiliate. ”
Fu Heng was not interested in knowing this, he only hung on the comfort of his eldest sister. There was no one else in the inner room, so Fu Heng dared to ask: "What did you say about the eldest sister just now?" ”
"I got the news that tonight and the prince will venture into the palace to save the life of the queen. In fact, this was deliberately arranged by someone, so that the emperor misunderstood that the mother had a private ...... with the prince" Cao Xuyan still couldn't say the word "love", in his heart, the queen was the mother of the country who was high in the world, how could he use such filthy words to accuse.
Seeing the suspicion on Fu Heng's face, Cao Xuyan thought that he didn't believe his words, and hurriedly explained: "A few days ago, there was a false rumor in the palace that the queen mother knew the prince in the past, and there is still ...... It's just that those unbearable words are really unspeakable. The speaker has a heart, and the listener is afraid that the listener also has the intention, and the gossip is not enough to believe, but the three of them become tigers. I'm afraid that the emperor has already had such an unbearable sound in his ears.
What's more, others have ulterior motives to deliberately create such doubts to cause the emperor and queen to get sick. If you can't stop him, then wouldn't it be ...... Without further ado, if you can't stop the prince, at least go to the queen's palace, and it's a blessing to be able to stop the queen. In any case, as long as the queen mother and the prince are gone, the rumors will have no effect. ”
"It's hard." Fu Heng frowned, and his heart cooled down one by one: "Because I sent you to the inner guard room, the emperor strictly decreed that those on duty today, from the chief manager to the guards, are not allowed to leave their posts without permission for half a step." If I want to go to Changchun Palace, I can only wait until tomorrow. ”
"Then it's too late." Cao Xu stood up in a hurry: "Seeing that it has been this hour, if the Queen Mother wants to do it, she will only wait for it to get dark...... My lord, I just said that they wanted to kill me, and they did it early, and they won't keep me until now. It is urgent to save the queen, and the safety of the mother is more important than anything else. Adult ......"
Fu Heng was slightly stunned, this Cao Xu was sincere, and he was more worried about the safety of his eldest sister than himself, what was going on? It's just that the matter is urgent, and he doesn't have the heart to think about it: "Little Houzi......"
chased him out, and Fu Heng asked when he saw someone: "What about the little marquis, go and stop him, go quickly." "He can't leave by himself, but as long as he asks Xiao Houzi to send Xin'er to the queen's Changchun Palace, everything will be fine. Thinking so, Fu Heng was eager to find Xiao Houzi.
"My lord, what are you flustered about?" Xiao Houzi was about to leave, but he happened to meet Xiao Si in the guard room, the two laughed a few words, ate tea again, and delayed some effort. When he heard the adults calling his name in a hurry, he rushed over.
Fu Heng grabbed Xiao Houzi's wrist as if he saw a savior, and said with a serious face: "You go and inform the queen, the night is cold, I'm afraid it's going to change." It is inevitable that the clothes will be wet in the rain and contaminated with wind and cold, so remember not to go out of the palace to be cold. After speaking, Fu Heng said cautiously: "Can you hear my words clearly?" ”
Xiao Houzi silently turned around in his heart, and said soberly: "Don't worry, my lord, the slave will write it down as soon as possible." ”
"That's good." Fu Heng breathed a sigh of relief: "Remember to tell the queen mother in person, just say that it is my repeated advice." ”
"Yes." Xiao Houzi looked at Fu Heng's face solemnly, knowing that the matter was big, so he didn't dare to be sloppy at all.
At that time, Hongli went to Changchun Palace and informed Lan Xin of what happened in the prison.
Lan Xin was shocked, he was really afraid. In this way, it was the concubine who underestimated the queen mother. originally thought that the blood drops in the hands of the first emperor could only find out the news for the queen mother. I don't want the Queen Mother to use these people to cause trouble in the harem. ”
"I didn't expect that these drops of blood in the hands of the Queen Mother would be much more powerful than before. With such a tricky angle, you can't see the position of the people in the prison at all, but you can still kill with one arrow, which is really amazing. I never imagined that there would be such a powerful character in ambush around me. If it weren't for the fact that the Queen Mother had no more sons-in-law, I am afraid that if she took my life, she would be able to replace this person. Hongli said this, but he couldn't help but think of Hongday in his mind.
No matter how bad he is, he is also the son of the Queen Mother who is raising her. It's a big deal to canonize Concubine Yugui as the Queen Mother, and since the Queen Mother can control Concubine Yugui for decades, when the concubine's son ascends the throne, she can also have a way to control the mother and son for decades.
Lan Xin was also very sensitive to what the emperor was thinking, but he did not debunk it. only sighed and said: "The emperor has to think of a way to pull out these blood droplets buried inside and outside the Forbidden City one by one." If they can't be used by the emperor, they will be eliminated as soon as possible. They are all the efforts of the first emperor, and they categorically cannot follow the queen mother and do these evil things. ”
This point is the thought of Hongli in the saying: "Kangxi Ye has many heirs under his knees, and the first emperor experienced the years of nine kings and dangers. Even after ascending the throne, there were still many doubts inside and outside the court. It was also for the long-term peace and stability of the Qing Dynasty that the first emperor secretly cultivated blood droplets to serve himself. Spying on dissidents, they are secretly controlled and executed alive.
And these drops of blood are the eyeliner and sharp blades that the first emperor buried everywhere, and it is precisely because of them that they are lurking in the dark and ordered by the first emperor that there will be the peaceful and prosperous world that I see today. But for some reason, it fell into the hands of the Queen Mother, and there was no early prevention, which was a big mistake on my part. Lan Xin, for the sake of today's plan, I'm afraid there is only one way to lure out these people. ”
"Please make it clear to the emperor." Lan Xin listened to Hongli's tone, as if he wanted to do something by himself. "After all, being able to do her best for the emperor has always been what she desires the most, so she has not shied away from it."
Hongli looked at her calm face and eyes full of courtesy, and knew that she really cared about herself in her heart. "I guess that the Queen Mother is still the most intolerable. Even if she gets rid of you, she can't regain the power of the phoenix, and she will definitely let out this evil breath. Speaking of which, Hongli seemed to be slightly embarrassed.
"But please ask the emperor to command." Lan Xin said without hesitation.
"I ......" Hongli bit it, and said worriedly: "I heard nonsense rumors in the palace, it's all you and Hongday......"
Lan Xin couldn't help but be a little stunned, she thought that the emperor might never question herself for the rest of her life, or mention it to her face. But he didn't want him to use this false rumor to draw out the blood drops of the Queen Mother and then start to clamp down on the Queen Mother. In other words, perhaps he already believed these nonsense in his heart. Or, he simply wants to kill two birds with one stone, clamping down on the Queen Mother and finding out the truth of the matter at the same time.
It was difficult to express his mood at the moment, Lan Xin bowed solemnly, and said sincerely: "Please rest assured, the concubine understands what to do." ”
