Chapter 16 Forced to extinguish the fire
After receiving Empress Lu's order, the palace maids hesitated slightly and looked at each other. After Lu Hou scolded again, they didn't dare to disobey the order, so they searched everywhere and west, and the other palace maids also dragged Mrs. Guan up and dragged her away.
"Stop." Hearing that Empress Lu was going to imprison herself in Yongxiang, Mrs. Guan struggled up, roaring loudly while being dragged by others, like a leopard's angry eyes bursting into red staring at Empress Lu and tearing her lungs, "Who dares to take me?" She forcibly shook off the palace maids, dragged her hand, and confronted Empress Lu.
Empress Lu smiled contemptuously, raised her eyebrows, and approached her eyes as if provocatively, "Drag it down, the lord of the six palaces is the main palace, if anyone dares not to listen, go directly to Yongxiang." Empress Lu gave an order to Mrs. Guan fiercely to the palace maids, as if she wanted to compare with Guan Wen.
The palace maids glanced at Mrs. Guan and were about to act again.
Madame Guan still stretched out her hand and slapped left and right, so that the palace maids couldn't get close to her, and shouted and pointed at them and asked sharply, "Do you want to rebel?" Don't you know that the silver seal and the purple ribbon were personally granted to Mrs. Ben by the emperor, and you dare to mess around like this, and Her Royal Highness the Empress is afraid that she has no right to take away my seal and ribbon? ”
"This palace is to be taken." Empress Lu suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Guan's collar and said hatefully, "This palace is just to encroach on power, what can you do with me?" Don't think that you don't know what you played, I wanted to close one eye and open one eye to let you go, but you didn't change your bad nature, but don't blame this palace for being ruthless. He threw Mrs. Guan three steps away.
The more Mrs. Guan said, the more she wondered, and the more she didn't understand what the queen was saying, except for the scheming on the night of the Double Ninth Festival, she didn't make any more trouble, why did the queen say this, Mrs. Guan really didn't understand, but she couldn't argue, and she didn't know what the queen said.
"Pull it down!" Empress Lu ordered again.
Chanxin was grateful to step forward to protect Mrs. Guan by others and pinch and drag, Mrs. Guan looked distressed, crying anxiously, and Chanxin and the two of them fought to let the people of Queen Lu pinch and drag, and said in the empty heart, "The queen mother spares her life......
Empress Lu stood aside and ignored them, allowing his men to mess around. Dai Qing also felt inappropriate when he watched from the side, and wanted to persuade Empress Lu, so he walked to Empress Lu and said, "Niangniang, do you really want to imprison Mrs. Guan in Yongxiang?" After all, the emperor ......"
Empress Lu's eyes blinked subconsciously, swallowed her saliva, turned her back to Dai Qing and said, "Who told her to go against this palace everywhere, and punishing her today is also a lesson." ”
The words slowed down significantly, not as intense as they had just been. Dai Qing knew that Empress Lu did not intend to imprison Mrs. Guan in Yongxiang, but just wanted to teach her a lesson, and the emperor was coming in a while, it was impossible for Empress Lu to imprison Mrs. Guan in Yongxiang, so he suddenly relaxed a little in his heart, for fear that Empress Lu would do something wrong.
Suddenly, Chanxin rushed to Empress Lu and knelt down, grabbed the corner of her skirt, and prayed, "Niangniang spare her life, Niangniang let Mrs. Guan go, Madame, she is already pregnant, if Niangniang has done too much to Madame today, aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame her?" ”
"What?" As soon as she heard that Mrs. Guan was pregnant, Empress Lu suddenly felt dizzy in front of her eyes, took two or three steps back, and almost fell, but was quickly supported by Dai Qingyan, "Niangniang be careful." ”
Empress Lu raised her hand, only to feel that her hand was very numb and weakly waved at her, her face suddenly turned blue, she left Dai Qing's side, and said to Mrs. Guan, "Really? ”
Mrs. Guan nodded with tears in her eyes, she also knew that Empress Lu must be jealous of her when she knew that she was pregnant, but she just nodded like a dragonfly.
"How many months?"
"It's almost two months." Mrs. Guan didn't dare to make a mistake, and she would answer whatever Empress Lu asked.
Lu Hou was speechless, and stood in place in a daze, as if the world had become dim all of a sudden, unable to see the future and unable to see her own direction, all she saw was one dark arrow after another shooting towards her, making her unable to parry at all. I wanted to take this opportunity to suppress Mrs. Guan's arrogance, but I didn't think that she was pregnant, and Lu Hou also knew that she couldn't do too much, but she was angry and punished her a little, Lu Hou swallowed her saliva and suddenly felt dry.
looked at Mrs. Guan coldly, she then understood, why Mrs. Guan dared to be so arrogant and scheming to herself, it turned out that she was pregnant, and with Liu Bang's favor, she dared to come nonsense. No matter what, Empress Lu still doesn't dare to tear her face with Liu Bang in person, she still needs Liu Bang's support to do some other things, and she also needs this empty rear position to help her establish some majesty, and she also needs to rely on her own prestige to sweep away some forces, she knows that if she does Mrs. Guan at this time, Liu Bang will know it, and she will definitely take off her back position, and she will also revoke the prince's position as the prince, there is no doubt about it, who said that he has the heart to murder Liu Bang's dragon seed? And it was in line with Liu Bang's wishes, and she couldn't find a chance to abolish the queen, but when she poured, she really didn't work every day.
"So you're relying on this to murder this palace, aren't you?" Lu Hou said lightly, without the slightest intention of attacking.
As soon as Mrs. Guan raised her head, she met Empress Lu's cold and indifferent eyes, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, I didn't, I admit that during the Chongyang Night, I did have crooked thoughts, but after you saw through it, there was no more trouble, I really don't know why the queen said that the assassination and the Huns greeted each other, I don't know when the Huns came, Your Highness must believe me." Mrs. Guan said one by one, confessing everything she knew and who had made mistakes, and seemed to be very sincere.
Empress Lu looked away from her, and was skeptical of her words, but she didn't feel like she was usually aware of Guan Wen, although she was babbling, but all she thought of was some unpopular ideas, and she couldn't escape Empress Lu's eyes at all.
"For the stability of the palace these days, the palace still has to take back your seal and ribbon, don't think about it, the palace keeps it for you these days, and it will be returned to you in a few days, although it is not the power of the palace to take back the ribbon and seal, but do you agree?" Lu Hou still asked lightly, she felt that she had to let go like this at this time, even if she was very unwilling, but she couldn't win, she already had Liu Bang's child, so it was better to stop the fire.
Mrs. Guan felt that Empress Lu had indeed calmed down, although she felt that it was inappropriate to let Empress Lu take back the seal and ribbon, she still nodded reluctantly.
"And what should you say to the Emperor about what happened here?" Empress Lu took the ribbon and the matching seal that had been searched by the palace maid and asked Mrs. Guan on the ground.
Mrs. Guan and Chanxin glanced at each other, and quickly lowered their heads and said, "Nothing has happened here, it's just that I want to get something to eat for Your Majesty, so it has made the palace hall chaotic." ”
Empress Lu nodded with satisfaction, gently raised Mrs. Guan's face with her hand and looked at it, tsk, "How could a pretty face become like this?" Who hit it? ”
Mrs. Guan's nose was sore, and tears almost flowed down, but she held on, lowered her head and whispered, "Yes...... It was me who accidentally got in the kitchen...... Bumped. ”
Empress Lu put down the hand that was holding her face, as if she was very satisfied, "The emperor is coming, serve me well, say the wrong word, you know what it will be." ”
Mrs. Guan nodded in fear of grievance.
"The day after tomorrow, the Huns will come to the court, you'd better stay in your hall and don't go anywhere." Lu Hou said, and Mrs. Guan nodded obediently again.
Empress Lu felt that there was a lot of trouble here, Mrs. Guan also surrendered to herself, and more importantly, Liu Bang was about to come over, she couldn't let him see that she had come, so she hurriedly left with a satisfactory harvest.
Empress Lu left, but Mrs. Guan collapsed to the ground as soon as her body became weak, and Empress Lu came without warning, and slapped the two of them, saying inexplicable words, she felt that she was being used, and she couldn't understand what Empress Lu said.
Chanxin hugged her and comforted her, patted her back, Mrs. Guan's nose was sore, tears gushed out like a spring, and the two hugged each other and cried for a while.
