Shang Yi agreed and walked over, Shang Gong took the hairpin and looked at it carefully and did not hand it to Shang Yi, while saluting the Empress Dowager and quietly looking at Hongluan: "I don't know what the Empress Dowager wants her ministers to see the hairpin?" This hairpin is four inches and eight minutes long, just an ordinary hairpin, and the system is also common in the palace; There will be a new hairpin in the palace every year, but the pattern is rarely changed, especially after the death of the first queen only changed once, the appearance of this hairpin is not mistaken, it should be made when the first queen was alive. ”

"In terms of pattern, it should be one of the first hairpins of this pattern;" She said here to look at the Empress Dowager: "The ministers ——, only see this." She clearly didn't say anything.

The Empress Dowager is in a very bad mood now, so she just waved her hand after listening: "I let you see that when you went to do the errand of Li Sigong with Shangyi and Gong Zheng, you can see this hairpin in her place or on her body?" After she finished speaking, she deliberately looked at Lord Shanggong.

Shang Yi went to Shang Gong's side and didn't go to see the hairpin, because Shang Gong didn't give her the hairpin; Her gaze gently turned on Hongluan, and then looked at Shang Gong carefully, as if waiting for Shang Gong's words.

Lord Shang Gong looked at the hairpin again and handed it to Shang Yi: "You can take a look first." She did not reply directly to the Empress Dowager's words, apparently she heard the hint in the Empress Dowager's words.

The emperor's face changed slightly and looked at the Empress Dowager: "Imperial grandmother, my grandson has been a little unhappy in the past two days, and the people around him are very unfavorable, so let Luan'er stay with him." He took the initiative to take a step to show that he would not give up, no matter what means the Empress Dowager used, he would keep Hongluan safe and sound.

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly: "Spells are a major matter of the country, and the emperor should ask clearly and then discuss other things." ”

The Emperor agreed: "The Imperial Grandmother is right; He called the Empress Dowager the imperial grandmother a lot, of course, it was not his unintentional move: "This matter was arranged by the imperial grandmother to be thoroughly investigated, and this errand could not be investigated as Luan'er." ”

The Empress Dowager did not reply to the emperor's words and looked at Shang Yi: "How is it?" Ask her the answer she wants first, at this time, she can barely grasp the emperor, and only by holding the shortcomings of Hongluan can the emperor bow his head.

King Fu said softly: "That day, when the palace slave picked this hairpin, I happened to see it; He glanced at Hongluan and smiled: "You are loyal, this king asked the palace slave, and she said that the hairpin belongs to her; At that time, the king was a little strange, how should the hairpin not be owned by the palace slave, and he asked twice but was told that it was the queen mother's reward; It turned out to be an errand related to the Queen Mother's explanation, but she didn't reveal any of her words. He said this and saluted the Empress Dowager: "It's the hairpin." ”

Without waiting for the Empress Dowager to question him, she said: "That day, I took the hairpin in my hand and read it, and it was the word Jiaorui, and I would never be wrong." His eyesight is very good, he can see the hairpin lying in Shang Yi's palm clearly, and of course he can see the words on the hairpin.

His words astonished the people of the temple, for almost all of them could guess that he was lying, but they were so reasonable that it was impossible to accuse him; And when he said the word Jiaorui, his eyes stayed on the hairpin for a long time, and the lights above the hall were bright, and everyone saw him "read" the word Jiaorui.

He didn't mind letting people see it, it should be said that he deliberately made everyone see it very clearly, standing there calmly and meeting the eyes of the Queen Mother; His meaning is very clear: I have secured Hongluan, if you have to kill her, then he really doesn't mind joining forces with the emperor.

The Empress Dowager's gaze stopped on the emperor's face, and she saw that she still had a calm and calm look, without any anxiety or worry: "Emperor, do you know that hairpin?" Or did you hear King Fu mention it? ”

The emperor lightly swept the silver hairpin: "I don't know, but I heard the second brother say a word or two, and said that the people in the palace slave courtyard are much more beautiful than before, and even the jewelry can catch up with the ordinary palace people; At that time, the grandson just smiled and didn't take it to heart, but he didn't know that the second brother was motivated. ”

King Fu is lying, and the emperor is obviously lying for King Fu.

The Empress Dowager stared at the two brothers, and looked at Shang Yi after a while: "Did you see clearly, didn't you see this hairpin from Engineer Li?" She had to take another step back, because the Emperor and King Fu joined forces with the Shangguan family to fight at all.

Shang Yi bowed: "Yes, the Empress Dowager." ”

Shang Gong also saluted at this time: "The minister did not see this hairpin on Li Sigong's body or in the house; The things she used were all more delicate, at least from the last three or five years, and there were no such old silver ornaments. ”

Shang Yi followed up with a sentence: "What Lord Shang Gong said is extremely true. ”

Yuan Hua beckoned: "Let me take a look." She played with the hairpin in her hand for a while: "You can ask Engineer Li to ask, she didn't look for such an important thing when she lost it?" She looked at Hongluan: "It could also be that she gave a reward to someone and got lost outside the Chenglu Hall - don't misunderstand the dead and let the living go." ”

Hongluan suddenly brushed her skirt and stood up: "The slave maid has been doing things for the Empress Dowager and Yuanhua Liangdi, and I don't know what went wrong to make the Empress Dowager and Yuanhua Liangdi so annoyed; Before tonight, when the slave maid came to Ci'an Palace to ask for peace, the Empress Dowager also rewarded the slave and maid with the fruit, and Yuanhua Liangdi also laughed with the slave and maid - the slave and maid boldly guessed, it would not be because of the things in the imperial garden tonight, the Empress Dowager and Yuanhua Liangdi still didn't believe in the slave maid, right? ”

Hearing this, the crown princess looked at Yuan Hua: "Oh? What is there to believe or not to believe, Shou Gong Sand is not bright? And with this palace in charge, you will be the emperor's person after the ceremony, and it is a big deal if you don't believe it; Hongluan, if you don't apologize to Yuanhua Liangdi, how could Yuanhua Liangdi not let you go because of that? ”

She flicked her long little finger: "Sister Yuanhua, this palace is not wrong." ”

Yuan Hua had long known about Hongluan's audacity, but she knew that it was Hongluan in the tiger and fake fox, but she didn't expect that she would dare to embarrass herself in person one day; Her face almost changed when she was snatched by the crown princess without changing her breath, but she could only smirk: "Niangniang is right, we will be our own sisters in the future, Hongluan really thinks too much." ”

Hongluan raised his head and looked at Yuanhua and smiled faintly: "Is Hongluan thinking too much?" She tilted her head: "Well, that really put Hongluan at ease; After she finished speaking, she turned to the Empress Dowager who did not speak: "The Empress Dowager doesn't mean to blame Hongluan?" ”

The Empress Dowager glared at her, she didn't expect that she would be trampled under her feet by a little Zhengxin today, and she was so angry that she didn't speak.

Chapter 601 Two Sentences

Hongluan didn't mean to evade, and looked directly at the Empress Dowager: "The slave maid boldly asks the Empress Dowager's will, if you are really angry with the slave maid, you will order the Hongluan staff to be killed now, and Hongluan will be grateful to the Empress Dowager for her great kindness when she arrives at Yin Cao; She almost said directly, the Queen Mother, you don't have to go to great lengths to kill me, I don't want people to know: "Of course, the Queen Mother has always been merciful, and she is not angry with the slave maid, so now that the night is late, you should also sleep peacefully, and the slave and maid will retire with the emperor's mothers." ”

If you want to kill, you will kill, if you don't kill me, you will leave - this is not only understood by the Queen Mother, but also by no one in the hall; Even Concubine Li had to applaud Hongluan's courage.

Everyone knows that Hongluan is annoyed, but the people in the palace, whether they are the emperor or the concubine, even the crown princess have to be respectful to the empress dowager: at least on the surface; It's not that there are no people who are annoyed with the Queen Mother, but there are really few people who dare to put their annoyance on their faces so that the Queen Mother can see clearly.

Even the crown princess did not dare to speak to the empress dowager like this. After Hongluan's words were finished, the emperor and King Fu both looked at Hongluan, and even King Kang almost jumped up: her guts were a little too fat; Everyone turned their eyes again, of course, to see the Queen Mother.

Hongluan is really open-minded, because the emperor has used all methods, but he still can't make the empress dowager put away her thoughts of killing her: what else is there to fear? Hengzhu didn't have anything to fear when she died, and she didn't want to play with the Queen Mother anymore, so she forced her to say something clear when she revealed her mind.

Or she's going to die — well, that's a bit of a challenge; Just like the emperor and King Fu are jealous, the Empress Dowager can see that she is more careful than the emperor and King Fu, and now that the emperor and King Fu are protecting each other, what does Hongluan dare not fight? Just bet on the Queen Mother, she didn't dare.

Either she has to let her go, as long as the Empress Dowager clearly says that sentence, then Hongluan will be much safer: at least don't worry about the emperor's absence, the Empress Dowager or Yuan Hua ordered someone to tie her up and kill her directly: Of course, the Empress Dowager's words are the words of a daughter, how can she say it without believing in the world?

If she loses the bet, it is nothing, if she loses the bet, it proves that the Empress Dowager just wants her life, and the emperor and the Fu King can't really keep her; Of course she will not kneel on this dead old woman again before she dies, Hongluan glared at the Queen Mother and scolded her in her heart, and then said angrily.

The Empress Dowager was very angry, she really wanted people to pull Hongluan out of the cane and kill her now; But the emperor and the Fu King stared at her with four eyes, and she took a long breath when she thought of the Shangguan family: "The mourning family is tired, you can retire." She swallowed this breath, and her face swelled unusually red.

Hongluan looked at the Empress Dowager: "The Empress Dowager is really tired, and the slaves and maids are waiting for the Empress Dowager to go to bed." "She's really not ordinarily small.

The Empress Dowager Sen Sensen smiled: "Very good, you are very filial; Emperor, you can retire, and Hongluan Zhengxin will serve the mourning family to sleep. One of her outstretched hands trembled slightly: "Let's go, the mourning family is really tired." ”

Hongluan went over to help the Empress Dowager and walked towards the back of the palace, and the Empress Dowager left a sentence: "It is enough for the mourning family to have Hongluan to serve." ”

The emperor and King Fu looked at each other and were anxious, but Hongluan had already walked through the screen with the empress dowager, where could they keep Hongluan. When the emperor looked at Chief Liu, King Fu looked at his guards outside the palace, and although the two brothers did not exchange glances, they suddenly had the same idea.

But no one is reckless, because they are not impulsive; The emperor slowly walked to the back of the palace: "You go back, I still have a few words to say to the empress dowager." ”

King Fu thought for a while and said, "The younger brother is waiting for you outside the Ci'an Palace, and the younger brother also has a few words to say to the emperor." ”

The imperial concubine got up and held the hands of the palace people around her: "Then the palace will take the first step, and the emperor still has to take care of the dragon body in the middle of the night, and go back to sleep early." After she finished speaking, she looked at the two concubines: "Let's go, my sister also has two words to say to my sisters." ”

Concubine Rou stood up and smiled and went over to help the Empress Guifei's hand: "Coincidentally, my sister also has two words to say to my sister." She glanced at Concubine Li: "Sister, let's go." ”

Concubine Li looked at the emperor and turned around with a long sigh, walked a few steps and finally turned back and said, "The night is really deep, the emperor should go back to bed early." "has raised the prince in her palace for so many years, no matter how the prince deceived her, she did have feelings for the prince.

It's one thing to seize the throne, but she can't do it when she sees the emperor die: raising a dog for ten years will make her cry sadly, let alone raising a person.

The emperor's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned around to look at Concubine Li: "I have written down Concubine Li's advice; Concubine Li also rested earlier. He looked at King Kang: "The third brother will send the imperial concubine and the two concubines back, and let people order a few more palace lamps in the middle of the night." ”

Those who are in front of the temple are talking, and those who are behind the house are also talking.

Hongluan entered the Empress Dowager's bedroom, and when she saw that the people who were waiting had retreated, she let go of the Empress Dowager's hand: "What does the Empress Dowager have to say?" She looked at the Empress Dowager with a big grin and no respect.

The Empress Dowager's face flashed with anger: "You're not afraid?!" ”

"Afraid of what?" Hongluan looked at the Empress Dowager and laughed: "I know very well that you want to kill me, and if you want to kill me, I really have no way to think about it; Think about it, what else is terrible about a mortal person? I thought the Empress Dowager had something special to say to me, but this? Then I'm going to quit. ”

She turned around and waved her hand: "My life is here, the Empress Dowager, you have to come and get the invitation; She suddenly turned back and chuckled, "As long as you dare." ”

The Empress Dowager shouted angrily: "Kneel! You kneel down for the mourners. ”

Hongluan stood still and turned around: "Kneel? Why kneel? She suddenly turned around angrily and pressed towards the Queen Mother step by step: "Do I have any dedication to what you asked me to do?" I have been disloyal to you, if you want to kill someone, you can just come here, and I, Wu Hongluan, will really stand and die. ”

The Empress Dowager was taken aback: "Someone, someone!" ”

Hongluan had already arrived in front of her, and grabbed the collar on her chest: "You call people in, let them see what you look like now, and there will be anyone in this palace who will be afraid of you in the future; Scream, scream. ”

The Empress Dowager shouted again: "Get out of the mourning family, get out!" She really didn't want people to see her now, staring at Hongluan's eyes: "You are bold enough, but how long can the emperor protect you?" ”

Hongluan smiled, and his smile was eerie: "It's like the first emperor didn't keep the first queen?" ”
