Chapter 187: Cutting off the head
The news of the emperor's return to the palace soon spread outside the palace gate, and even the people who were far away in Tongguan Town received the news that the emperor had returned to the palace safely.
The first person who rushed to hear the news in the harem was the queen mother, the lord of the harem, the queen looked haggard, her face was pale, her eyes were swollen, and her body seemed to be going to go with the wind in the breeze when she walked over, which was not at all different from the queen in front of Yan'er a few days ago, and the queen mother in the eyes of Zhai Guifei.
"Your Majesty......"
The queen Yingying knelt at the emperor's feet, tears welled up in her eyes, and the emperor only sighed softly in his eyes, so he stepped forward to personally help the queen up, and tightened her sideburns.
After all, the emperor and the empress have been husband and wife for decades, and the empress thinks that she has not been wronged in these days, and the emperor's eyes are full of pity, as if at this moment they are a pair of emperors and queens that everyone envies, but in the eyes of the empress, who have long been disheartened, everything seems to be too late......
"The queen has worked hard, these days of my absence, thanks to the queen's maneuvering in the court, and thanks to the queen for keeping this rotten harem!"
The emperor's voice was full of unspeakable sorrow, who would have thought that there were so many women in his harem who came to him for power, for the glory and wealth in this palace.
They have spent twenty-eight years waiting all day long! There seemed to be a young woman in front of the emperor's eyes, with a beautiful face and a graceful figure, she was full of pearls, her clothes were draped, the sun and the dark clouds, day and night, took turns to flash on her face, like an old hand, magically touching the woman's face, and finally withered.
The woman leaned on the gate of the palace every day and looked around, her playful cheeks were like peach blossoms, her delicate makeup and the beautiful wide-sleeved fairy skirt were shining on her, and the flowers and trees around her were all foils.
The noise of walking outside seemed to stop, and finally turned into the shrill voice of his father-in-law, and his voice "The emperor has arrived!" "The woman's hope is activated, but in the gold-clad weak-crowned man on the royal chariot without squinting, she is crushed again and again.
The woman can't see the person she thinks about all day long, she becomes depressed, her temper is eccentric and irritable, her age is like a flash in the pan, and no matter how beautiful the sunset is, she will fall in her old age, and a white silk hanging beam will commit suicide.
Since ancient times, the emperor was busy with government affairs and slacked off the harem, which provoked the harem women's hearts to stir and provoke a lot of right and wrong.
Emperor Jimo admitted that he was not a good emperor, the first emperor taught him to control the country, to cultivate both inside and outside, and the harem was half of the country, but he was helpless, he only cared about the court, and he failed the emperor's entrustment.
"Niangniang, I heard that the emperor has returned to the palace, and now he is in the cold palace! The queen has already brought the concubines over, should we go? When Your Majesty comes back, we should go and greet you! ”
In the Heyang Hall where Zhai Guifei lived, Xiao Luo's voice sounded crisply, Zhai Guifei turned her head Mu Ran listened to her words, looked at Xiao Luo's eyes were full of erratic, her body was lazily lying on the side of the collapse, let the sleeves be lifted, and half of the white skirt ran to her waist, so she didn't care about it.
Xiao Luo felt that his master had come back from the queen's palace that day, as if he had changed a person, and the red coral necklaces that the master loved most in the past were now not even touched.
Just when Xiao Luo felt that it was impossible to receive a reply from her master, Zhai Guifei's hoarse voice sounded behind Xiao Luo, "The emperor is back, how can this palace not greet him!" Let's go, let's take a look. ”
Zhai Guifei's words were soft, like an unconscious murmur, and the words she said seemed to be blown away by the wind in an instant, and only the strange fragrance wafting from the incense burner burned in the air.
From a distance, I saw a group of women in the cold palace showing their flowers, but all of them had red and swollen eyes, the emperor stood in front, and beside him was the father-in-law who had been bowing down, and a few tears were appropriately squeezed out of his eyes, which seemed to be a joyful and joyful scene.
Zhai Guifei's slightly drooping eyes flashed a gleam, and she walked straight towards the emperor without hesitation, and happened to rub against the corner of the queen's skirt, and the queen's eyebrows tufted, and then stretched out.
"The concubine welcomed His Majesty back to the palace, and the concubine knew that His Majesty would definitely come back, and the concubine dreamed last night that the golden dragon was coiled on top of the Qianqing Palace, and a person slowly came down from the golden dragon, and the concubine woke up before she had time to see the person's face.
In this way, the person who walked down from the golden dragon is Your Majesty! Your Majesty must have returned with a dragon, right? ”
Zhai Guifei blinked her big eyes, Xiao Luo's craftsmanship and skill, and painted Zhai Guifei's eye makeup exquisitely, charming and innocent, which provoked the emperor to take Zhai Guifei into his arms in public.
Being embraced by the emperor so magnificently, Zhai Guifei's body stiffened for a moment, and her breath was slightly disordered, the emperor was a person who practiced martial arts, although most people in this palace didn't know.
He thought that his beloved concubine was just a little shy in front of everyone, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but Zhai Guifei's hand hidden in her sleeve by her side was tightly clenched, as if as soon as she let go, the full emotions she had accumulated in the past few days would pour out.
"Your Majesty, did you rest in the Qianqing Palace yesterday?"
The queen's voice came out lightly, and the father-in-law next to the emperor immediately stood up and said: "Hui Niangniang, I was in a hurry to come back last night, Your Majesty was afraid of disturbing the rest of the mothers, so I went back to the Qianqing Palace to rest." ”
"Sure enough, there is still a father-in-law like Father-in-law De who knows cold and warmth to serve, and the palace is relieved! In this way, His Majesty has returned, and the rules in the palace cannot be broken, and the rules of the ancestors cannot be broken.
Then the palace will be in charge, and tonight Zhai Guifei will sleep for the emperor! Presumably, His Majesty returns to the palace, if a little prince can be born, I am afraid that it will be the best banquet for His Majesty, which means that God is blessing me Jimo, I don't know what Your Majesty wants? ”
The queen's breezy words crushed Zhai Guifei, she closed her eyes tightly in the emperor's arms, forced back the tears that were about to gush out, and then replaced them with a shyness that was appropriate to the occasion.
"O Queen! You're still so well-behaved, so don't you want to! Only you can keep this harem for me, and the queen of tonight's dust banquet will remember to participate with me. ”
The smile in the corner of the emperor's eyes couldn't be hidden, Zhai Guifei had already retreated to her original place, Concubine Shu's lowered eyes unconsciously crossed the hem of Zhai Guifei's clothes, seeing her body that seemed to be trembling, she looked up in surprise, but met the queen's eyes that seemed to be smiling, Concubine Shu felt strange in her heart, and bowed her head in a hurry.
After explaining his own kind of concubine, the emperor put away his smiling face faintly and turned to the Jinluan Palace, which needed to ascend to the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme of the Panlong Stone, the highest place in the world.
In the Jinluan Palace, where the mirror is hung high, it has returned to the solemnity of the past, the emperor is wearing a nine-clawed dragon robe, and the Duke of De is holding a yellow dossier, which is covered with a jade seal, and the dragon claws are flying.
"Put the prince's party into the prison, wait for trial later, and hunt down the wizards who bewitched the prince to commit heinous crimes, and all the guards who participated in the palace change were exiled to Beiwu, and all the palace concubines involved were connected to the nine clans!"
The emperor's coercion was completely released at this moment, and he lived freely outside the palace for a period of time, and his physical and mental exhaustion had eased a lot, and now he returned to the palace to deal with the affairs of the court was also full of energy and energy.
"Old Five, this matter will be handed over to you to deal with with with it all, the list of officials involved will be presented in the morning tomorrow, in order to appease my dynasty for thousands of generations, this matter must be handled carefully, and never let go of a fish that slipped through the net."
"Yes, my son obeys."
Jimo is still the same as many years ago, he does not invite credit, but behind him is a solid backrest, he is still the taciturn prince, but now he has a world of his own.
Zhao Yiran knew that his affairs were exposed, and his life was short! He has stayed by the prince's side for so many days, and has become the prince's indispensable right-hand man, and now the prince is closed to the Zongren Mansion, he has seen the person he has been obsessed with for so many years, his wish has been fulfilled, and it is time to leave.
"What? Where is the wizard in a hurry? The Prince's Mansion is here. It was a man who was also masked and spoken, but a long knife in his hand flashed with cold light.
"Who are you? Who sent you? ”
In fact, at this moment, as a wizard, he realized that this person who grew up in the palace was indeed ruthless and cunning, and he had guessed that these people must have been deployed in advance by the prince to defend himself.
"It doesn't matter who we are, the key is that wizard, you haven't finished your work now, and you want to get out of this capital, I'm afraid it's not easy!"
The person who came didn't want to entangle with him more, said that together with the sword qi, a group of people surrounded Zhao Yiran, there was no hope of survival, Zhao Yiran stabbed his heart with the last knife, his eyes widened because of the pain, and he only had time to spit out the words "The prince is so ruthless", and he died.
After checking that Zhao Yiran was completely dead, a man in black who squatted down stood up and said to the man in Fangcai: "Big brother, you are already dead." But this guy is also stupid, and he doesn't know who died until he died. ”
"Humph! is a fool, and he still wants to rely on the crown prince to ascend to the throne! Leave him alone, it's important to return to his mother. ”
After speaking, several people disappeared without a trace in an instant, looking at the scene where only blood was left on the ground, the two people on the tree slowly showed their figures.
"Hey! Which one of the women in the palace did you say just now? Feng Xie had a weed in his mouth and bumped Ji Mo's shoulder at random.
Jimo glanced at him obliquely, and said coldly: "How does this king know that when he eats enough grass, he will go to work." ”
Feng Xie was angry, "You called this son so handsome and dusty, fluttering like a fairy, exquisite..... Go and cut off your head! ”
"Do you want to marry a daughter-in-law, this king sees that your life is not very complete."
"I ...... Go! ”
One person squatted on the ground covering his mouth and nose with one hand, and waved a big knife with the other, while the other stood far away, admiring the expression that someone was about to spit out, he was in a good mood, and gave a few words from time to time.
"Be serious, cut it neatly, this king doesn't like messy heads."
"I don't like you, but I do it myself!"
"Daughter-in-law?"
"Ahhh......h
