Chapter 423: Spring Festival Palace
The wide-eyed Heavenly King Zun held the dragon in his hand and scolded sharply: "The Buddha is grateful for your three hundred years of hard work and is willing to fulfill one of your wishes." I originally thought that you would take refuge in Buddhism after 300 years of immersion in Buddhism, but I didn't expect you to say that you want to enjoy the bliss of the world! β
Liu Zhaoyi had no energy to refute at all, and her heavy cough pulled at the tearing pain in her heart. She could only lie on the ground, coughing and wheezing together, as if she was attached to the emperor's feet, kowtowing and confessing.
Seeing that Liu Zhaoyi would rather die than admit his sins, the King of Heaven held a mixed Yuanhua umbrella, pointed at Liu Zhaoyi, and reprimanded: "If you are willing to put down the butcher's knife, the Buddha can still save you like an empty door, if you are obsessed, you can only go to reincarnation and suffer from all kinds of disasters." β
Liu Zhaoyi raised his head, looked at the Heavenly King of the Quartet, and said weakly: "I am a human being, not a goblin, I am a human being!" β
Seeing that Liu Zhaoyi did not regret until death, the Four Heavenly Kings scolded with a fierce face: "Goblin, the Buddha saw that you were obsessed, and he was grateful for your three hundred years of hard work, so he let you come to the world to enjoy bliss. β
"I didn't!"
The Four Heavenly Kings all cast their magic weapons, and they all said, "Are you still quibbling? The Hangzhou murder case back then, but you were the murderer? β
"No, not me!"
"Dare to quibble?! The deity sent a messenger of believers to influence you, but I didn't expect to be slaughtered by you in Prince Rong's mansion, but is there such a thing? β
Liu Zhaoyi was already terminally ill, but he still refused to admit that he had killed people, and weakly shook his rattle-like head and said, "I didn't kill the monk, no!" β
"Dare to quibble, you killed the imperial concubine under the witch curse under Prince Rong's mansion back then, and you were discovered by two maids by mistake, you were sad and crazy, and you killed one of them with poison, can you be guilty?"
Liu Zhaoyi looked at the four heavenly kings like death, shook his head and said, "I didn't kill the ...... of Taohong."
"Until now, you still haven't admitted it, but afterwards you noticed that the maid Cui'er also knew your secret, and took advantage of the coup d'Γ©tat in the palace to massacre Cui'er in the palace and throw it into the well, do you dare to deny it?"
"I didn't. I didn't! Liu Zhaoyi's eyes no longer had any spiritual light, and the death-like despair, like ink, soaked Liu Zhaoyi's entire pupil.
"And Mother Li of the palace, who inadvertently broke your crime, was strangled to death by you, and was thrown into the well."
"No...... There is no ......"
"There are five lives in total, you just wait for them to find you in hell to settle the score!"
The four heavenly kings used their respective magic weapons at the same time, Liu Zhaoyi held his head, collapsed on the ground, soft as a ghost, and said: "I admit it, I admit it, the murder case of Shenjiazhuang in Hangzhou, the leper monk of the palace, Taohong, Cui'er, and Mother Li were all killed by me with my own hands......"
Everyone present, including the emperor, heard Liu Zhaoyi's confession clearly.
The emperor was stunned in place, he looked at Liu Zhaoyi coldly, and he couldn't even understand how this woman came to his side?
"Hurry up and carry her back!"
The emperor ordered the palanquin man to take the sick and confused Liu Zhaoyi away.
The clansmen's wives hadn't figured out what was going on, but they saw Liu Zhaoyi being carried into a sedan chair by everyone and disappearing in front of the Fengxian Hall in a hurry.
Liu Zhaoyi's cold this time was originally strange, and it was even more unbelievable that it didn't heal for a long time, until today when she talked crazy in public, Wanying guessed one thing, it should be the Queen Mother who started to do it.
Yun Niang and Cui Ying'er, who were waiting in the side hall, saw Wanying coming out of the main hall, and hurried back to the Ask Immortal Palace with Wanying and the three of them.
After shielding everyone, Cui Ying'er opened her mouth and said, "Niangniang, Ying'er feels that Liu Zhaoyi is a little familiar. β
Wan Ying smiled and said, "How is it possible? You are from Suzhou and Hangzhou, she is a concubine in the palace, how can you meet? β
Cui Ying'er thought hard about the clues in her mind, and then said faintly: "Niangniang, that Zhaoyi seems to be the famous prostitute Sheng Jiaolan in Hangzhou back then?" β
Wanying stared at Cui Ying'er, looked at Ying'er's decisive expression, and asked, "Are you sure?" β
Cui Ying'er said firmly: "If you look at the face, Ying'er doesn't dare to conclude, but just now she said that she was the murderer of Shenjiazhuang's murder, and the two points were added together, Ying'er dared to conclude that she was the number one famous prostitute Sheng Jiaolan who was popular in Hangzhou City back then." β
Yun Niang asked incredulously: "Miss Ying'er, don't dare to talk nonsense, the Liu family is now the emperor's concubine, this matter is not trivial!" β
Cui Ying'er nodded cautiously and said softly: "Back then, Sheng Guerlan was the Oiran of Hangzhou, and my mother, and Xiaohong and I all witnessed her demeanor back then. β
Yun Niang said faintly: "Xiaohong is young, but Cui's mother must remember the appearance of 'Liu', why don't we go to Hangzhou and pick up Cui's mother to identify it?" β
Wanying arbitrarily refused: "No need, it's an obvious thing." She herself admitted that she killed people in Hangzhou, which can confirm Ying'er's statement. β
Ying'er added: "Niangniang Shengming, back then, the uncle of the Shen family spent a lot of money to redeem Sheng Jiaolan, married home, and died of poisoning in less than half a year, and what is even more infuriating is that the gold, silver and jewelry at home were emptied overnight. The Shen family used 10,000 acres of fertile land to reward the murderer, but so far it has not worked! β
Wanying sighed and sighed with emotion: "When the palace returned to the palace and asked about the whereabouts of Li's mother, everyone said that there was no one at the time of the coup, and now she was killed by the Liu family. β
"Mother Li is the emperor's mother, and the emperor heard the news today, and he may not be sad about what he will be." Yun Niang said.
Wanying sighed for a long time, changed her calm expression and said: "Heaven is especially forgivable, and you can't live if you do it yourself." Whether she is Liu or Sheng Jiaolan, she will not live long. β
Yun Niang and Cui Ying'er both nodded coldly.
"Niangniang, you are in a hurry to summon Ying'er into the palace today, is something wrong?" Cui Ying'er asked.
Wanying put aside Liu Zhaoyi's troubles and said to Cui Ying'er: "Ying'er, this palace wants to ask you for something!" β
"Niangniang, you don't have to say begging, just say it!"
Wanying looked at Cui Ying'er and said sadly: "This palace has been plagued by the same nightmare every night recently, so I want Miss Ying'er to go to Yanmen Pass for this palace!" β
As soon as she heard about Yanmen Pass, Cui Ying'er immediately realized that it was He Youan who might have something wrong.
Anxiously asked: "Niangniang, you tell Ying'er, what's wrong with General He?" β
Dreaming about things is originally nonsense. Wanying didn't want to tell Cui Ying'er about her dreams, so as not to worry Cui Ying'er.
"Ying'er, as soon as General He has been gone, a letter to his brother in the palace has never been cut off in the previous ten days. Since the end of last year, there have been no letters, and it has been more than two months. β
Cui Ying'er exclaimed: "Niangniang, why didn't you say it earlier, General He must have had an accident!" β
"Not necessarily, not necessarily, Yanmen Pass is heavily military, and General He can't spare time, but the palace is not at ease, and I want you to take a trip for the palace and find out, are you willing?"
Cui Ying'er smirked and said bitterly: "Niangniang, how could Ying'er be unwilling? Last year, Ying'er wanted to follow the general's Northern Expedition, but the general insisted on refusing, and there was nothing to do, so Ying'er had to give up. Now the mother asked Ying'er to go, and Ying'er couldn't ask for it! β
Cui Ying'er said that she couldn't ask for it, but her face looked embarrassed.
"Miss Ying'er, what is there to hide?"
"Niangniang, you also know the general's temperament, Ying'er just went, and she may not be able to see the general himself!"
Yun Niang took over and said, "Miss Ying'er means ......"
"Niangniang, if you give General He a letter, Ying'er will definitely be able to see General He himself with the letter."
Wanying understood Cui Ying'er's difficulties, and agreed heartily: "The letter will be written by the palace herself, and I also ask Miss Ying'er to hurry up, and see that General He also replied to the palace early, okay?" β
"Hmmm! Don't worry, Ying'er arrived at Yanmen Pass, met General He, and must reply to Niangniang as soon as possible! β
"In this way, Hongu is relieved."
Without further ado, Wan Ying said as she got up and walked to the bookcase.
Writing hard, a letter is sprinkled and swayed.
Cui Ying'er took the letter, happily left the Ask Immortal Palace, and went out of the palace gate, Cui Ying'er took Lao Lin, the two pretended to be men, brought enough silver, and took advantage of the night to travel lightly.
In the quiet four palaces in the northwest, the third son of the emperor, Hongyun, can be faintly heard making noise in the Yingchun Palace.
In the cold spring and cold nights, Gonggong Wei helped the Queen Mother to walk slowly on the long palace street.
The Queen Mother has a watery bun, without hairpins and ornaments. He was dressed in ochre-colored palace robes with a knee-length jacket.
Under the dim palace lamp, she is no different from an ordinary old woman.
"The third son of the emperor is noisy every day, it is better for the slave to change the palace courtyard for their mother and son, so that the queen mother can endure it anymore."
Gonggong Wei supported the Queen Mother, standing in the night, not far away is the palace wall of the Yingchun Palace, Hongyun's crying and Wanyun's rebuke clearly drifted into the Queen Mother's ears.
The Queen Mother said lightly, "It's all sins, it's all sins." Think of it as a mourning family owes the teacher! β
The Queen Mother and Gonggong Wei fell into silence at the same time.
It's not that they don't understand the absurdity in front of them, it's just that they turn a blind eye to the old man's vain death.
The evening breeze mixed with Concubine De's fierce shouting, crossed the high wall, and landed in the northwest.
", this palace asks you to take Yun'er well, you should be a deaf ear when you go back, others bully our mother and son, even you dare to kick your nose in the face?"
In the quiet northwest office, the noise in the Spring Festival Palace is clear and abrupt.
A trembling voice crossed the palace wall and passed into the ears of the Queen Mother without pulling through the evening breeze.
"Niangniang, the slave maid doesn't dare, it's just that the third son of the emperor is now delicate and naughty, you see that the slave's arms are bitten by the prince."
"Dare to quibble, Yun'er can't speak now, if you bully him, he will naturally bite you!"
You don't need to think about it, this voice must be graceful.
"Niangniang, the slave maid has no quibble, how dare the slave and maid bully the prince, not to mention that the slave and maid do not have this mind and guts, even if there is, the palace maids in the room will not agree!"
"Hit her! Hit her! A childish voice pierced the sky and smashed heavily into the heart of the Queen Mother.
This evil obstacle, now less than two years old, can dominate so far, and when he grows up in the future, will he not become the second king of Dong'an County?
The queen mother's plain face was gradually covered with gloom.
The noise of the Spring Festival Palace is very noisy. The heavy sound of the board, mixed with the desolate grievances of the palace maid, was thrown into the vast moonlight in despair.
