Chapter 450: The Golden Gate is desolate and the grass is short
"Your Majesty." After waiting for these two hours, Li Yu finally waited for the news that the emperor was waiting for. "This is the news sent by the Cining Palace, and the pure concubine Niangniang instructed the slave to tell the slave again and again that the slave must be handed over to the emperor in person. And clearly pointed out that this is the will of the Queen Mother. ”
The same is a small bamboo tube, which hides the news. Hongli glanced at it, and then commanded: "You come and read." ”
The people trapped in the Cining Palace are as annoying as the news sent from the Cining Palace. Hongli didn't want to reach out and touch the unbearable filth. Even if it was a secret that was not a good thing for outsiders, perhaps it should not be known to more people, he still didn't want to touch the pieces of paper full of intriguing small print.
"A look at the stage of Kunning Palace, a feast for the eyes." In just a few words, Li Yu finished reciting with a shudder, and he didn't dare to raise his head and glance at the emperor.
Hongli hooked his lips, smiled coldly, and said unhurriedly: "Li Yu, how do you know that it is Kunning Palace?" ”
Li Yu frowned and said: "The slave also heard from Lord Fucha, and the emperor asked Lord Fucha to go in the prince's uniform. The adults then went to Kunning Palace. ”
This is true, because Hongli heard it from Cao Xuyan, and it is exactly what he said. It can be seen that Fu Heng has no selfish intentions. Thinking like this, his heart felt a little better, Hongli slowly sat up straight, and slowly squeezed out from between his lips and teeth word by word: "Who is the person who sent the news?" ”
This is also where Li Yu is puzzled: "The slave has never seen that person, it seems that he is the guard of Cining Palace, after all, there is no emperor's decree, the queen mother is in the palace, and the inner chamberlain is not allowed to go out." Only the guards guarding outside the palace can send the news to the Heart Cultivation Palace. It's just that he's too blind, and the minions don't know who he really is. ”
Seeing that the emperor's face was displeased, Li Yu hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Fu Heng has made arrangements in advance, no matter who sends such news to the Heart Cultivation Palace, it doesn't matter, as long as the two most powerful of the imperial guards secretly follow, you will know a thing or two." ”
"Fu Heng has always reassured me when he does things." Hongli didn't want to delay his efforts any longer, so he slowly took his own breath: "Since this person has sent the news, he will definitely secretly peek at whether I have gone or not." Then send the news back to Cining Palace to reassure the Queen Mother. Kunning Palace has no net, no matter whether it is one person or two, ten or hundred, as long as he dares to help and abuse them under my nose, I will make them live in peace. ”
Fu Heng calculated that the time was almost right, and he let go of the hand that was holding tightly with the eldest sister: "The eldest sister knows that this time the matter can be solved satisfactorily, and the emperor will not take that past to heart." But if the eldest sister still cares about the relationship with the emperor, it is best to talk openly and honestly with the emperor, and she is suffocated in her heart. Not piercing can sometimes only lead to more doubts, which is not the best. ”
"Don't worry, eldest sister understands." Lan Xin smiled flickeringly, approached Fu Heng's ear, and pretended to be intimate: "The eldest sister and the queen mother have a deep feud, and the queen mother has a secret that is important to the emperor in her hands. You must know these things in your heart, but you must not go beyond the thunder pool. After all, when it comes to royal secrets, the emperor must not like outsiders to find out. The only thing that the eldest sister can't let go of is you, Chunhe. ”
"Haruwa understands." Fu Heng gently patted the eldest sister's shoulder with great cooperation.
The night was hazy, the Kunning Palace was originally cold and lonely, and there were no concubines and concubines living in it, and there were very few lanterns under the corridor. Such a pair of figures stood under the moon, and they were also stained with indifferent silver and loneliness, as if they had been stretched so long and long, and the long ones made people feel thin.
It's just that I can't see the human face clearly, but I think that these two people who complement each other are really a pair of talented and beautiful people. Especially the drops of blood lying in the shadows, they couldn't see who the man was, and they only thought that it was the culprit they were trying to catch. So they lurked in the shadows even more proudly, hoping that the emperor would come to Kunning Palace as soon as possible, and happened to encounter the most thrilling and self-embarrassment scene.
Unexpectedly, the emperor has not yet come, and the queen and this man are about to part ways. If so, it wasn't in vain before. In the drops of blood lying in the shadows, one person faintly couldn't bear it.
"Don't be impulsive, the emperor didn't come, if you go on like this, I'm afraid it will ruin the master's good deeds." The masked man's voice was so soft that only those who were close to him could hear it.
"If I don't go again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold these two people. At that time, I will talk in the vernacular, for fear that the emperor will not believe it. ”
"There is no way, it stands to reason that the letter to the emperor has already been sent. The emperor doesn't believe it and refuses to come, and it's not our business......"
Fu Heng had just turned around, and he saw a sneaky figure swaying in the aisle behind the stage not far away. He first remained silent, and called the queen at random: "Don't go......" This voice is extremely obsessive, but it seems that there is a bitter feeling between lovers, and it is difficult to give up.
Lan Xin stopped and stood there in a daze. "What if you don't leave? Left and right, we can't escape these four red walls. ”
"Xu yes......" Fu Heng said strange things to Lan Xin while secretly taking out the fire fold from his arms. The fire fold is in the wind, and the fire head is red and shiny. This is exactly the code he gave to others, reminding the guards who were waiting in the shadows of Kunning Palace that the target had appeared.
"Hongu is gone." Lan Xin understood Fu Heng's hint, and hurriedly left Kunning Palace: "If you don't leave, I'm afraid of arousing suspicion." ”
Seeing that the queen was leaving, the form was already difficult to control, and the blood droplets lying on the eaves were unbearable after all. One of them learned a crisp birdsong, and someone hurried towards the stage.
And this person is not an outsider, it is the sneaky shadow that Fu Heng saw.
"Who is it and who's there?" The person shouted in panic: "There are assassins, there are assassins, there are assassins who have trespassed into Kunning Palace, come quickly, people......"
As soon as he shouted, the blood droplets who were ambushed in the dark took advantage of the chaos to escape, not wanting to leave a trace.
And the people who Fu Heng had arranged early in the morning also rushed around when they heard the sound. The originally quiet Kunning Palace was full of sounds, the sound of rushing footsteps, the sound of Huo Huo waving his knife to suppress the other party, and the sound of the thief shouting for help.
Lan Xin only felt that her brain was a little messy, if it was not Fu Heng but Prince He who was standing in front of her, what should she do? Everyone is talking about gold, and if she wants to humiliate her face in front of such many people, it is really worse than death. She didn't know if the emperor would be willing to let her take such a risk if he saw this scene.
It's just that things are already like this, and she doesn't bother to think about it. It's time to show her majesty, and she doesn't want people to think that she is just a soft persimmon, the best queen to bully.
"This palace is here, who dares to make a mistake. Where are the assassins in Kunning Palace? What a guts. Lan Xin raised his eyebrows, and his majestic voice shocked such chaos, and the scene was a lot clearer.
Fu Heng's face was gloomy, his eyebrows were full of murderous intent, and he stretched out his arm and pointed at one of them: "Twist, but the chief manager didn't see where the assassin was, but your eyes were bright and your heart was bright, and you sneakily followed for a long time, I don't know if you regarded the queen as an assassin or the chief manager." ”
"The queen forgives me, the slave really saw a person sneaking past here." The guard saw clearly that the person in front of him was not Prince He, but Fucha Fu Heng, and his jaw almost fell off in shock. was so tender and sweet, it turned out to be a trick deliberately deceiving the sister and brother.
Lan Xin's cold gaze, through the hazy moonlight, exuded a faint brilliance. "There are a few on the eaves, and you can't let go of any of them, but this palace wants to see which one is the assassin in your mouth."
Before the words fell, Fu Heng's people had already caught the blood droplets lurking on the eaves.
"When you have the ability to fly to the sky, I don't want to even run for your life now." Fu Heng glanced at these people with contempt, and said with a posture: "Send them to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the emperor will interrogate them in person." Remember, don't let go of everyone inside and outside Kunning Palace. ”
Inevitably, Lan Xin deliberately added: "There are quite a lot of guards in and out of Cining Palace today, presumably disturbing the peace of the Queen Mother, the emperor has already had a holy decree, and disturbing the Queen Mother is a serious crime." It is also taken to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and it is good for the emperor to send it down personally. ”
"Yes." Fu Heng and the eldest sister had a very tacit understanding: "Please rest assured that the queen mother." ”
With a long sigh of relief, Lan Xin was really unreassured. If the emperor minds the bitterness and loss in her heart, he will inevitably come to see her at this time, but unfortunately, people have already caught her, and the emperor has never been seen. He must still be haunted by the day's events, as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, how can he allow his queen to have a little flaw.
Fu Heng led the people into the Heart Cultivation Palace, and according to the queen's instructions, he retreated in time. What the emperor didn't want him to know, he ignored it. Although he is now the head of the imperial guard, it is no different. The eldest sister does not have the crown prince Duanhui to rely on, and what she has is only the emperor's trust and respect, what he can do is to try to satisfy the emperor's trust, and help the eldest sister when needed.
Hongli glanced at the people brought back by Fu Heng, there were minions dressed in inner servants, there were also minions dressed in night clothes with sneaky eyes, and third-class guards serving in Cining Palace. These people are mixed in the deep palace, seemingly inconspicuous, but they bear a particularly important position, that is, to monitor the palaces and act as the eyes and ears of the queen mother.
This is the reason why the Queen Mother was imprisoned in Cining Palace, but she was still able to strategize. "Don't ask what I say, there are rules in the palace, and the blood drops also have the mission of the blood drops. But I want you to say for yourselves, how many people are still lurking in this deep palace and working with you to do things for the Queen Mother. For every three people, ten canes can be waived, and five people can live. Those who don't say a word will be dragged out and beaten to death with sticks. Li Yu, this matter is left to you to take full responsibility. ”
Hongli raised his head suddenly, was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "If you commit suicide in fear of sin in order to protect your master, I will cure you for the crime of contempt for imperial power, and you will be exterminated by destroying your family, and no one will be left." ”
