Chapter Twenty-Nine: Behind Bars
Concubine Jing sighed slightly, got up and said, "Your Majesty, I'm tired of watching the drama this night, and now that the truth is revealed, it's time for the concubine to go back to the palace to appease the child who lost his mother." ”
"It's that I can't live with that kid."
"The concubine retired." Concubine Jing has watched this drama for a long time, I'm afraid I'm really tired, in this deep palace courtyard, who is not living in the conspiracy, maybe Concubine Jing at this time is a little lucky, if you don't get rid of the concubine today, I am afraid that I will also fall into the future Concubine Degui is so bad.
Back in the palace, he looked at the tenth prince who had fallen asleep and gently stroked his cheek. Concubine Jing had already regarded this child as her own, and she was bent on giving him the best, to let him be under her knees. But God did not fulfill people's wishes, and he was not his son after all.
The tenth prince who was so young experienced the pain of losing his mother at a young age, and was not loved by his father, he was really a poor child.
The next day, Concubine Wan was sent to the cold palace and imprisoned for life. This news shocked the entire capital, and Murong Mansion also ushered in an uproar. Pei Shaoxiang's reliance in the palace was destroyed, and all the lines were broken, which made him unbearable, and finally he was ready to attack the Murong family, because the Murong family had no role for him, and this chess piece became an outcast.
Such a result made the Confucian nobles breathe a sigh of relief.
"Nobleman, now that the slaves and maids that should be done are done, can you let the slaves and maids out of the palace?" Ling Er knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, and the Confucian nobleman slowly helped her up, "What are you crying about, I will definitely fulfill what I promised you." I'll take you home. ”
How could a Confucian nobleman let Ling Er go like this? She knows all her own things, such a person will threaten herself if she lives, how can a Confucian noble person be such a soft-hearted person? Her ruthlessness is far greater than that of Concubine Zeng.
Midautumn walked in, "Little master, this is what you asked the slave to prepare." ”
"These are all prepared for you, there are enough silver tickets in them, and some clothes and jewelry, enough for you to live without worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. This is the waist card to use to leave the palace, as long as you give it to the guards, the guards will let you out of the palace. ”
"Thank you, gentlemen." Ling Er happily walked out of the Confucian Palace with the package, and the Confucian nobleman sighed, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "She...... Can't live. "Sheng Qiu is like a dog by her side, as if she understands everything all at once, and she doesn't need too much explanation from Confucian nobles. She nodded, "Slave understands. ”
Sheng Qiu followed Ling Er until she came to the palace wall, where the guards guarding the door saw Ling Er asking her to show her waist card, and Sheng Qiu shouted, "Catch her!" ”
When the guards heard Sheng Qiu's voice, they didn't think much about it, so they grabbed Ling Er, Sheng Qiu walked over and snatched her package with high spirits, "I am Aunt Sheng Qiu next to the Confucian nobleman, this girl stole the nobleman's things and wanted to fly away." Thank you for helping me catch her. With that, Sheng Qiu took out a silver ingot from his waist and put it in the hands of the guards. The guard smiled and said, "It is my duty to protect the safety of the little masters of the harem. My aunt was polite. ”
Ling Er was arrested like this, she knelt in the palace, and the Confucian nobles sat in the hall, "Tell me about you, why do you want to steal things, it's not that I refuse to let you go, why do you want to go secretly?" ”
"You...... You ......"
"Okay, since you stole something, then I can't continue to use you anymore, Shengqiu, send her to the Xin Zheku, let Aunt Su take care of it." Wait until you're done, and I'll get you back. ”
"Yes."
"Noble man, you ...... You...... How can this be done to me? ”
"Alright, don't say any more, take her down." The Confucian nobleman looked at it coldly, picked up the tea cup on the table and snorted coldly, "It's weird, you have entered the palace, how can you see through this palace." ”
Ling Er was assigned to the Xin Zheku, and was soon tortured to death, and she wanted to say but couldn't. Sheng Qiu walked into the palace, "Little master, Ling Er...... Dead. The Confucian nobleman also breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart had been hanging during this time, and no one would tell her what she had done.
"How high is this harem now. I don't know when I'll get the power to take charge of the harem. ”
"Little master, do you want to thank Princess Changping?"
"Why did she remind me, I don't believe she was kind enough to help me, what secrets are hidden in this, I think I will continue to investigate."
The emperor has decreed that the name of Concubine De will be restored, and that she will be wronged, and that the Lin family will be recalled to Hezhou City, and the official will be reinstated. Jiuyu was admiring the flowers in the imperial garden, and Qianyue ran in and knelt on the ground with a plop, "The princess's great kindness, Lin Yurong will never forget, and he will be rewarded for being a cow and a horse." ”
"How can you kneel to me like this, although you have been wronged, but ...... You still can't show up, after all, Concubine De is dead. ”
"Now that I have cleared up my grievances, it is enough, my children and family can live well and happily, I have no complaints, since the concubine Lin Yurong is dead, then let Lin Qianyue live well. I thank you for helping me, from today onwards, I am going to leave the city of Hezhou, idle clouds and wild cranes, porridge and side dishes, isn't it happy. ”
Jiuyu sighed and put down the flower bud in her hand, "Okay." Hope you are doing well. ”
Half a month later, Concubine Jing was directly named the queen, and the Confucian nobleman was exceptionally named a concubine. On this day, Jiuyu and King Changping entered the palace together, met King Junping, and returned home at night, Su Zisheng has been depressed, as if he has something to worry about, Jiuyu tried to ask him, but he didn't ask anything.
King Junping is the most powerful of all the princes, and everyone knows that Luo Ao and Pei Shaoxiang are his henchmen, and this article protects him with martial arts, and he is afraid that he will be the biggest threat to the emperor in the future.
As soon as King Changping returned home that day, he frowned, and Jiuyu stepped forward, "What's wrong?" But what happened? King Changping shook his head, "I can't hide it from you now, now the emperor is afraid that he is already in prison, today I went to ask to see, but was blocked out of the palace gate, and even the queen was rumored to be unsafe and unable to see guests." It seems that the emperor and queen are now more auspicious and less auspicious. ”
"You've been worrying about this for the past few days?"
"You don't understand, in the affairs of the DPRK and China, one wrong step is one wrong step. It's hard to see the emperor now, but what should I do. ”
"Don't worry about the prince first, the prince is not allowed to enter the palace, so the princess will enter the harem to see the queen's mother? I haven't seen the queen for many days, and I don't know how the tenth prince is doing, but he has grown taller and stronger. Besides, Niangniang is sick now, and I took the imperial doctor to visit, which is reasonable. ”
King Changping let out a long sigh, "I didn't want you to get involved in this. ”
"But I'm already involved. Isn't it? ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"The day I married you, you and I were tied together, one was honored, and the other was lost, so I didn't want to participate in it, even if the prince thought about me, I was also in this furnace. Being in the emperor's house, how can I stay out of this kind of thing? ”
"You married me, I really wronged you."
"Lord Wang, Jiu Yu went on the sedan chair that day to relieve the siege of Murong Mansion, since this siege was relieved, I have a thousand ways to leave, but Jiu Yu chose to stay in the palace forever, do you know why? Jiuyu is now willing to take risks for the prince, what happens in the palace, Jiuyu will know as soon as she goes. ”
On that day, Jiuyu took the waist card and entered the palace, because of her status as a princess, so she did not need to go through the palace gate to enter the harem, and Jiuyu, who entered the harem directly, was "hanging out" in the imperial garden, and a column of guards came in front of her.
"Princess Jin An of Changping."
"Is this a changing of the guard?"
"Yes! Ordered to protect the emperor! ”
"On orders? But the queen arranged it? ”
"Back to the princess, the servants are on the orders of King Junping to protect the emperor Zhou Quan."
Jiuyu looked at the guards who left in a hurry, and knew that the emperor was really in trouble now, and when she came to the gate of the queen's palace, there were also many guards, and she just wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the guards, "Princess, the queen's mother is not in good health, and it is inconvenient to see guests." ”
"Can the queen see a guest, but you have the final say? Now that the queen is unwell, I brought the imperial doctor to visit, why not? ”
"Princess, the slave is also acting on orders, please forgive the princess."
"On orders? Do you serve the emperor's orders? I only obey the emperor's decree and the queen's decree, whose name are you? "Jiuyu's eyes are like knives, if they can kill, presumably these guards at the door will die a thousand or ten thousand times.
At this time, a voice came from behind him, "Why is my sister-in-law so difficult to get along with my subordinates?" ”
Jiuyu turned around and saw that it was King Junping standing behind him with a small servant, so he turned around and smiled, "It's not that I can't get along with my subordinates, it's just that this guard doesn't understand the rules too much, and the queen is not well, I brought the imperial doctor to visit, but I was stopped by this guy at the door. ”
"Since the imperial sister-in-law doesn't want to see guests, she must be really unwell, so it's better for my sister-in-law and me not to bother."
"Yesterday, my prince wanted to enter the palace to face the saint, but he was stopped outside the palace wall, saying that the emperor had important matters and could not see my prince, but why was King Junping in the palace? It's hard to ......"
"Sister-in-law, don't laugh, if you want to meet, just see it, the royal sister-in-law also needs someone to be her companion."
"Then thank you, King Junping."
Jiuyu walked into the palace and saw the emaciated queen who had become thin and haggard. ”
"Jiuyu, why are you here? How did you get in? The queen took my hand and said, I sighed slightly, "I want to see you at the risk, why haven't I seen you for a few days, but you have lost so much weight?" ”
"It's not that day, after disposing of Concubine Wan and the palace being sealed again, King Junping entered the palace to pay a visit, but he didn't want to bring people to surround the middle palace, even my East Palace, now I can't get out, and others can't get in, Jiuyu, the emperor is okay now?"
Jiuyu shook her head, "Queen Mother, I have no way of knowing the emperor's recent situation, I have exhausted my mind to visit you, but I am afraid that the emperor's situation is even worse than yours." I will have a good discussion with the prince, how to rescue you, and most importantly, is the emperor really trapped in the middle palace now? If it was better in the palace, if it had been taken to another place, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
"Probably still in the palace, the emperor must go to court early every day, there is no abnormality in the past few days, it seems that the emperor will still go to court early every day."
"It seems that there is only this opportunity to go to the early court."
"Jiuyu, you hurry up and get out of the palace, take this, go to my mother's General Zhou's mansion, find my brother, he is the general who protects the country, and he still has 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands, although it can't be compared with Luo Ao's power, but how can it help you." The queen handed me a hosta, and I nodded and said, "Niangniang, don't worry, I and the prince will do our best, and you must take care of yourself." ”
