Thank you, princess......" Jiang Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to speak, Princess Ningyang interrupted her with a scream.

"Jiang Qingyue! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! Princess Ningyang screamed and rushed at Jiang Qingyue.

With Jiang Qingyue's martial arts, Princess Ningyang's move was no different from looking for death, Jiang Qingyue easily shook the fist she swung over.

Jiang Qingyue looked helpless: "Princess, don't make trouble!" ”

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up in this field! It's all you! It's all you! You've hurt me all my life! I want you to die! I am willing to die if you die! Princess Ningyang shouted excitedly.

Jiang Qingyue sighed, clenched her fists tightly, and said sincerely: "If you want me to die, just expose my identity, if you rely on you, it is too difficult." ”

Princess Ningyang was so angry that she glared at her viciously with a pair of eyes: "I'm going to kill you with my own hands!" I'm going to kill you with my own hands! You're the one who hurt me! You hurt me! ”

Jiang Qingyue felt that she was very innocent, she was worried that Princess Ningyang's loud screaming would attract people, so she reached out and pointed at her dumb hole.

"I'm very grateful that you just helped me and didn't reveal my identity, I want to tell you that I came to the palace this time to save Zhou Rui'an, he was arrested by the queen, the queen wants to kill him, if you really have a deep love for him, don't hurt him!" Jiang Qingyue lowered his voice and said warningly: "As for you saying that I hurt you, then it is obvious that you hurt me first!" And I didn't do anything! ”

On the contrary, it was you, it was you who replaced her identity and made her live in exile.

But Jiang Qingyue didn't say this, in fact, Princess Ningyang is also very pitiful, if she hadn't been transferred and grew up well by her parents, maybe she wouldn't have endured this, she might not be a princess with a noble status, but she would also be a pampered girl's family.

Speaking of which, whose daughter is Princess Ningyang? And who are her parents?

This thought, Jiang Qingyue just flashed away, she had just found out her life experience, and she still had a lot of troubles, so she really didn't have the energy to care about Princess Ningyang's affairs.

Princess Ningyang gradually calmed down, Jiang Qingyue looked at her and said, "If you don't call, I'll give you an explanation, and if you agree, blink." ”

Princess Ningyang blinked quickly, and Jiang Qingyue unlocked her acupoint.

Princess Ningyang glared at Jiang Qingyue fiercely: "What did you say happened to Brother Rui'an?" The old woman arrested him? ”

Jiang Qingyue had to admire Princess Ningyang's toughness, this old woman, she really dared to say it.

Jiang Qingyue simply told Princess Ningyang about the matter, and when Princess Ningyang knew that Zhou Ruian was imprisoned, she was angry again.

"The old woman! How dare she! How dare she! Father! Father wouldn't do this to Brother Rui'an! It must be Brother Rui'an, who was framed by that old woman! Said bad things about Brother Rui'an in front of his father! Princess Ningyang said with a hideous expression: "I'm going to see my father!" Father wouldn't do this to Brother Rui'an! ”

Jiang Qingyue said in his heart, do you still think that you are the princess who called for wind and rain before? Now the emperor is not as good as before to Princess Ningyang.

Jiang Qingyue said patiently: "Now no one can see the saint, we suspect that he is under house arrest by the queen, so I entered the palace, hoping to find evidence that the queen plotted to kill the emperor, so that the queen can be overthrown!" ”

Princess Ningyang pursed her lips, and a pair of yin owl eyes suddenly met Jiang Qingyue: "I can help you." ”

Jiang Qingyue's eyes lit up, although Princess Ningyang looked unreliable, but she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she was favored by Emperor Xuande, maybe she would know secrets that others didn't know, what if she had a way to let her see the emperor?

"I know that there is a secret passage in the room next to the old woman's dormitory, which leads to my father's dormitory." Princess Ningyang paused, and her eyes showed a little nostalgia: "That's what my father told me when I was a child. ”

At that time, she was still the princess in the palm of Emperor Xuande's hand, how could she have expected that one day, she would fall into such a fate.

"Where's the tunnel?" Jiang Qingyue hurriedly asked.

Princess Ningyang turned her head and glanced at Jiang Qingyue, looked at her carefully for a while, and suddenly showed a sneer: "You want to know?" I can tell you, it's just ......"

"Just what?" Jiang Qingyue hurriedly said.

"It's just that I want you to kneel down and beg me!" Princess Ningyang said hatefully.

Jiang Qingyue looked helpless, she didn't understand, why did Princess Ningyang hate her so much? She is still a man now, and she can't be her rival in love, how can she get to the point of being so endless?

Fortunately, Princess Ningyang didn't know that she was a woman, otherwise Princess Ningyang would have asked the guards to kill her just now.

Jiang Qingyue stood up and walked in front of Princess Ningyang.

……

The queen's bedroom is different from Princess Ningyang's, there are many guards in it, and there are many palace maids and eunuchs who serve, Jiang Qingyue decided to wait for the evening, and the queen will go over after she goes to bed.

I waited until night.

Jiang Qingyue was still wearing the clothes of a little eunuch, but fortunately, in order to take care of Princess Ningyang nearby, the queen left a small door between the two bedrooms, probably because the queen felt that Princess Ningyang would not be able to toss the wind and waves, and she was not so strictly guarded.

There was only one grandmother guarding the small door, and when it was night, sitting on a chair and dozing off, Jiang Qingyue walked over lightly.

She walked to the small room that Princess Ningyang said with her memory.

In fact, there is a story about this secret passage, when Emperor Kaizu fell in love with a woman, but this woman's identity is special, and other meritorious ministers who followed him to fight the country have opposed Emperor Kaizu to make her the queen, and the Empress Kaizu had no choice but to set up another daughter of a meritorious man as the queen, and this woman was a concubine.

Emperor Kaizu was very affectionate to this woman, and he was often fortunate to her, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the harem concubines, and they returned to their parents' homes to put pressure on Emperor Kaizu, so as not to let the emperor be blinded by other women.

At that time, those ministers were friends of life and death with Emperor Kaizu, and Emperor Kaizu was a nostalgic person, and it was not good to save their face, so he quietly repaired this tunnel, just to be able to quietly avoid people's eyes and ears to meet his beloved woman.

This story was originally a royal Xinmi, when Princess Ningyang was young, Emperor Xuande told her, probably because of the story of Emperor Kaizu, which reminded him of him and Concubine Qing.

When the Qing Guifei entered the palace, she also experienced a lot of twists and turns.

After listening to this story, Jiang Qingyue felt a little complicated in her heart, Emperor Xuande was really affectionate to her mother.

Jiang Qingyue sighed with emotion in her heart, calculating what Princess Ningyang told her, the time of the change of guard - I have to say that Princess Ningyang still has a bit of a role, and she is not as innocent as she shows, after all, she is a child who grew up in the palace since she was a child, but all her ignorance is used on Zhou Rui'an.

Jiang Qingyue came to the room smoothly, quietly closed the door, and suddenly turned around, the hairs on her body were about to stand up, there was actually someone in the room!

It was a little palace maid, Jiang Qingyue immediately raised her hand and knocked her unconscious.

This is bad, originally she planned to use the tunnel to go to the emperor's bedroom without alerting anyone, and then leave quietly, but now someone has discovered her, with the queen's shrewdness, she must search the whole palace, and the easiest way is to send someone to guard this house.

Emperor Xuande's bedroom was heavily guarded, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving, and the only exit could only be this house, once the queen found her traces and sealed the house, she could only stay in the emperor's bedroom!

There is a dead end on the left and right, Jiang Qingyue is in turmoil, and now she is only faced with two choices in front of her, one is to go down the tunnel and kill this palace maid, lest she leak her news; The second is to leave the same way.

Jiang Qingyue's brain was running rapidly, she didn't have time to think about it, she immediately made a decision, moved the palace maid to the room next to her, and then immediately returned to the original room, found the entrance of the secret passage, and jumped directly.

Jiang Qingyue didn't kill the palace maid, not because she was soft-hearted, but because even if she killed the palace maid, the queen would know that someone had broken in, and if someone died in the Zhengkun Palace, the queen would definitely block the entire Zhengkun Palace, and she would not be able to escape.

In that case, why waste another life? If she kills that palace maid today, she will definitely not hesitate to let her retreat, but looking at it now, killing one more person has no effect.

She still chose to jump off the tunnel, even though she knew that this was very likely to be a dead end, she did not hesitate, this was her only chance, she absolutely could not give up.

The tunnel is very long, and it is very dark inside, Jiang Qingyue lit a fire fold, and walked slowly in the dark secret passage, I don't know how long I walked, and finally saw the exit in front.

Jiang Qingyue's eyes lit up, and he didn't go out immediately, but listened to the movement inside behind the tunnel.

"Where is the jade seal!" A sharp female voice came from inside: "Don't think that I won't find it if you don't say it, now the entire palace is under my control, and it's only a matter of time before I find the jade seal!" If you hand over the jade seal, for the sake of husband and wife, I can give you a good time! ”

Jiang Qingyue was stunned, the queen really had such courage!

Jiang Qingyue heard a cough again, and after a while, the sound inside gradually subsided, and she waited for a while until there was no sound, and then she quietly pushed open the door of the tunnel and walked out.

As soon as Jiang Qingyue walked out of the tunnel, he smelled a strong indescribable smell, this smell was very mixed, but it definitely shouldn't have appeared in an emperor's bedroom!

It's really the queen who wants to have bad intentions!

Jiang Qingyue's guess became a reality, she walked into the dormitory, and met the frightened gaze of the big eunuch: "It's you......"

Jiang Qingyue hurriedly made a silent gesture, she knew the big eunuch, she was a person close to the emperor, she had seen it when she was beaten last time, and by the way, she smiled flatteringly at him.

By the way, Your Majesty, Jiang Qingyue instinctively looked at the dragon bed.

I saw that the originally majestic Emperor Xuande could only half lean on the bed, and his fierce eyes became cloudy, even if he wanted to express his anger, he could no longer exude any momentum except for his eyes widening.

"Are you Jiang Qingyue?" The big eunuch looked at Jiang Qingyue in horror and said.

Jiang Qingyue didn't expect the big eunuch to remember her, she nodded, lowered her voice and said: "Now that everyone outside is controlled by the queen, I came in with great difficulty, tell me quickly, what's the matter with the emperor's illness?" ”

The big eunuch took a step back, pointed at Jiang Qingyue and scolded angrily: "You must have been sent by that woman!" You made her die of heart! Our family will not betray the Holy One! If you want to get the jade seal, let her die this heart! ”

Jiang Qingyue was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "The queen is looking for the jade seal?" She wants to force the emperor to abdicate? ”

"Humph!" The big eunuch stared at Jiang Qingyue, and said in a strange manner: "I finally showed my true face!" Don't try to fool our family, tell you! That woman's calculations could not have succeeded! ”

Jiang Qingyue looked at them expressionlessly: "Do you think that according to the emperor's current situation, what else needs to be calculated against you?" And it's such a big deal! Jade seal, do you think jade seals are rare? If the queen wants, she will carve one out of radish and print it on the holy decree, I am afraid that no one will be able to distinguish it! After a pause, she looked at Emperor Xuande: "The emperor can't speak now, right?" Is it still possible for the current queen to let outsiders meet the emperor? ”

The great eunuch looked at her with horror on his face.

Jiang Qingyue continued: "As long as the holy decree is made, the wood has been completed, and the second prince ascends the throne as the emperor, which is not a bad thing for the people of the world, and even for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, right?" The second prince is not the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can he be regarded as a generation of Ming Jun, do you think that when the time comes, there will still be people who want to save the emperor? ”

The big eunuch was silent, he had been with Emperor Xuande for so many years, and naturally he had some knowledge, and he knew that what Jiang Qingyue said made sense.

Jiang Qingyue snorted coldly, with a mocking look on his face: "Calculate you? Do you use it? If there are still people thinking about the emperor, who is willing to risk their own lives? ”

The great eunuch turned his head and glanced at Emperor Xuande: "Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Xuande opened his mouth, and after half a sound, he said with difficulty: "Let ...... Let her come. ”

Jiang Qingyue didn't move, she looked at this drooping old man with a complicated expression, this is her father, they should be the closest father and daughter, now they are facing each other, but they are still suspicious of each other and can't be trusted.

Jiang Qingyue lowered his gaze, covered the emotions in his eyes, and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, your body is the poison of the queen?" Jiang Qingyue asked.

Emperor Xuande spoke very hard, and the big eunuch said angrily: "Who else but her!" ”

That day, the queen brought osmanthus cake to see Emperor Xuande, which was the medicine in the osmanthus cake, and Emperor Xuande fainted after eating.

"Isn't there a drug test?" Jiang Qingyue asked puzzled.

"I tried, but ......" the big eunuch said with a complicated expression: "The test of the poison eunuch was actually bought by that poisonous woman!" ”

Jiang Qingyue was stunned, and for the first time he had a sense of admiration for the queen, the queen was really not an ordinary woman, she could even buy a drug test eunuch! You must know that those who can be on errands by Emperor Xuande's side are all Emperor Xuande's cronies.

It seems that the queen has been prepared for a long time, so as soon as she makes a move, she can control the entire palace in such a quick time.

Jiang Qingyue's mood was a little complicated, she felt as if she had always underestimated the queen, maybe because the queen suffered a lot in the hands of her and Zhou Rui'an, but the queen was the queen after all, and she had the courage to change the princess out of the palace, so she could know this person's scheming.

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but blame a little: "The relationship between the queen and the emperor is now in the same situation, why is there no precaution against her at all?" ”

Emperor Xuande keenly noticed that Jiang Qingyue's tone was a little wrong, as if he was complaining about his own tone, and couldn't help but glance at her, this person he had never seen with his eyes before was actually the only person he could rely on at present.

The big eunuch didn't notice this, he sighed lightly, and his tone was complicated: "But that's the taste of the concubine Niangniang's cooking......" After a pause, his eyes showed a little nostalgia: "Back then, the concubine Niangniang's ten fingers did not touch the spring water, but only made a osmanthus cake, and the concubine always made it for His Majesty to eat in the past." ”

"At that time, the ladies of the harem thought that His Majesty liked to eat osmanthus cakes, so they all came to Niangniang for advice, Niangniang was kind-hearted, and never refused to come, but among so many people who learned, only the queen did the same as the concubine Niangniang."

It's just that later, after the death of Concubine Qing, the queen thought that she had no opponent, so she refused to make this snack again, and even regarded this snack as her own shame, just like reminding her of the past when she was pressed by another woman and couldn't hold her head up.

Emperor Xuande also knew her woman's jealousy, so he also turned a blind eye and didn't care, this time he also thought that the queen was using this snack to show weakness, and passed the drug test, so he was defenseless.

When Jiang Qingyue heard this, his mood was really complicated, it turned out that in the end, it was because of Concubine Qing.

I can't say what it tastes like, she hasn't seen her mother, but she thinks that it should be a very beautiful woman, so after so many years, it can still make a man like Emperor Xuande unforgettable.

"Niangniang......" Jiang Qingyue opened her mouth, wanting to ask what kind of person her mother was, but thinking of the current situation, she stopped her voice again: "Your Majesty is willing to believe me?" Give me a token, let me take it out, find someone to help me, if it's too late, it's too late! ”

The great eunuch looked at Emperor Xuande and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside.

Jiang Qingyue was stunned, it was the queen who went and returned!

I didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly! The queen was found so quickly!

The big eunuch helped Jiang Qingyue, who was stunned, to push him to the next room, which was the ear room where the palace maid and the eunuch were resting.

Jiang Qingyue hurriedly hid in, and the next moment, the queen broke in.

The queen mother walked in, her eyes swept over the room, and the great eunuch and Emperor Xuande both glared at her.

The great eunuch said angrily, "What are you doing here? Your Majesty is going to rest! ”

This is the attitude of the great eunuch towards the queen as always, and the queen carefully looked at the whole room, "Come on, search for me!" ”

This time she received a report that an assassin had broken into her dormitory and knocked a maid unconscious, but fortunately she was found and woke her up, and the maid was a man who knocked her unconscious and then disappeared.

She had searched the entire Zhengkun Palace, but she had not found this assassin, but no matter where the assassin went, the queen was most worried about Emperor Xuande, so she immediately rushed over.

The big eunuch was shocked and angry: "What are you going to do?" I'm telling you, you don't want to get the jade seal! Don't think about it! ”

Jiang Qingyue was anxious when he heard the movement outside, but the big eunuch was worthy of being the person next to Emperor Xuande, and he was a little anxious, he pretended not to know that someone had broken in, and only said that the queen was here to find the jade seal, so as to lower the queen's vigilance.

However, even so, the queen will not let go of the search, she will not be relieved if she does not search, and this room is so big, they are already rummaging through the cabinets when they hear the movement, and they will soon find this room.

Jiang Qingyue bit his lip, what should I do?

Naturally, there was no one in the room, the big eunuch was so frightened that he didn't even dare to look at the ear room, and Emperor Xuande was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, as if he didn't care about this farce.

The searching guards had already made their way to the ear chamber.

The guard pushed the door open, only to see a small palace maid inside, who heard the sound of the door opening, looked frightened, and immediately fell to her knees on the ground.

"Niangniang, there is only one little palace maid!"

The queen walked over and looked at Jiang Qingyue, who was kneeling on the ground trembling and didn't even dare to raise her head, and frowned faintly.

"She's also from the Imperial Study?" The queen asked suspiciously.

In the past, when the queen ruled the harem, she knew the entire palace well, but later her phoenix seal was taken away, and the authority to govern the harem also came to the hands of Qin Guifei, who cut a large number of palace maids and eunuchs at that time, just to cut off her wings, and also arranged for newcomers to go to Emperor Xuande's side.

Later, she took control of the palace, in order not to show the news, the palace maids and eunuchs who used to serve in the imperial study were imprisoned with Emperor Xuande, and a few people were left to take care of Emperor Xuande, after all, Emperor Xuande could not die now.

In this operation, she decided in a hurry, and for a while she was a little unsure whether she had seen this little palace maid.

Suddenly, a guard from outside ran in, "Niangniang, Princess Ningyang said that she had met an assassin!" ”

The queen's expression was stunned, and she immediately turned around and walked out, "Look at this place, not a single fly is allowed to be released!" ”

After the queen left with the people, the big eunuch hurriedly went to help Jiang Qingyue.

The big eunuch looked at Jiang Qingyue with a stunned face and said, "You...... Are you a woman? ”

Jiang Qingyue smiled bitterly: "I've thought about it many times, but I never thought that in the end, the gender was exposed because of this." ”

The big eunuch felt in his heart that it didn't matter if it was a man or a woman, it was a man, and how many people had the courage to take the risk to come to the rescue when the emperor was in danger? It is this loyalty and courage that is commendable.

The big eunuch walked in front of Emperor Xuande, his eyes were slightly red, and he said: "Your Majesty, it must be God who opened his eyes, and he couldn't see that poisonous woman covering the sky with one hand, so he sent this child to save us, the old slave dared to say, this may be Your Majesty's only chance to be saved!" ”

Emperor Xuande opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Qingyue deeply, and he said with difficulty: "You, you are a, good ...... So soon, just, can, buy his heart. ”
