Chapter 54 Actions of the Parties
Today, Xiao Yan, who has always been diligent in government, suddenly announced his retirement.
Outside the Taiji Palace, all the ministers were whispering, and everyone knew that Xiao Yanxiu was definitely affected by the assassination of the eldest princess.
Eunuch Sun Ruhai stood on the steps, looked at the people below, cleared his throat and said, "The emperor said, if you have any urgent matters, you can present a recital, and the emperor will see it then."
The people at the bottom, when they heard that they were going to rest for three days, there were joys and sorrows, and the happy thing was that in previous years, in addition to the New Year, there would be a few days of cultivation, no need to go to the court, and the rest of the days had to enter the palace every day. The worry is that Xiao Yan is old, and I don't know if it will be because of this incident, and he will be in a state of collapse from now on.
The group of people left the Taiji Hall one after another, and then the general Shen Yifu stepped forward and asked, "Eunuch, I don't know if the emperor's body is good."
Sun Ruhai replied politely with a smile, "The general doesn't need to worry, the emperor's body is fine" The bad thing is not the body, but the heart.
"It's okay, I'll have to work hard to serve Your Majesty well these days."
"That's nature"
Shen Yifu sighed and left with his hands. On the one hand, he was a little worried about Xiao Yan's body, and on the other hand, he was secretly proud in his heart, and now Yin Rui was afraid that he was already anxious.
Zhongshu Lingfu
Yin Rui sat in the hall with an ugly face, while Yin Jun knelt in front of him without saying a word...
"Dad, Yuyao is my wife, I won't give up on her"
"Boom!" A sound sounded, and Yin Rui slammed his fist on the table. "What the hell are you guys up to! How could she send someone to assassinate the emperor! "That's her biological father!
"Dad, don't ask" Even he himself was not very sure of Xiao Yuyao's true purpose.
"How can I ignore such a big thing!" He is now in Jiankang and has lost face, and his daughter-in-law has openly murdered her father! This matter is now known to everyone, how will he gain a foothold in the DPRK in the future!
"Daddy! Just beg you, don't interfere in this matter."
Yin Rui frowned, is he really old, he can't understand his son more and more...
Yesterday in the prison of Dali Temple, Xiao Xu's words made Yin Jun a little worried. This matter is very important, and Yin Jun knows that Xiao Qingyue has a close relationship with Donggong and Xiao Nanfeng. If this matter is exposed, the East Palace and the Linchuan Palace will not sit idly by. Xiao Xu killed two birds with one stone, and wanted to use this matter to hold the two most powerful people in the dynasty.
However, will Xiao Yuyao be saved because of this! He really didn't know the bottom of his heart.
Drunken smoke building, the famous fireworks place in Jiankang City...
At this time, in a side room, several bewitching women dressed in tulle were twisting graceful postures, and Xiao Xu was lying on a chair, hugging left and right. On his right hand seat, Fang Huai, the secretary of the ministry, was drinking with him. He is part of Xiao Xu's influence in the DPRK.
Fang Huai shirked a little unnaturally, and the fireworks woman who was close to him, he didn't come to this kind of place often, and he was a little uncomfortable.
"Fourth Highness, now that the eldest princess is still in prison, isn't it inappropriate for us to be like this?"
Xiao Yuyao is his sister after all, and now his sister is locked up in Dali Temple, but as a brother, he is having fun in this fireworks willow lane...
Xiao Xu laughed evilly, "Lord Fang doesn't need to worry, the eldest prince will be released soon."
I don't know where to start" Xiao Yuyao assassinated the emperor, even if it was a father and daughter, Xiao Yan would not let it go so easily.
Xiao Xu still looks confident, "His Royal Highness has a big secret in his hands"
"What secret" Fang Huai heard him say that he had a secret, and he was instantly interested.
Xiao Xu sold it, "Lord Fang, don't worry, in a few days, your lord will know what secret His Highness is talking about."
After saying that, they began to eat, drink, and enjoy themselves again. Fang Huai drank the wine in the cup with some puzzlement, and secretly felt sorry in his heart, this Xiao continued to behave obediently and conceitedly, he assisted this kind of person, can he really govern a country well in the future? He is getting more and more skeptical!
At this time, everyone in the palace was privately discussing Xiao Yuyao's assassination, and everyone speculated about Xiao Yuyao's true purpose of assassinating Xiao Yan and Xiao Qingyue. Some people say that Xiao Yuyao was dissatisfied with his marriage and became angry and had murderous intent. Some people say that Xiao Yuyao has been holding a grudge against Xiao Yan for so many years because of the death of his mother's concubine. Some people also said that Xiao Yuyao was jealous of Xiao Yan's exclusive favor of Xiao Qingyue, so he sent someone to assassinate them...
There are many opinions, and there are all kinds of things to say.
When Xiao Qingyue heard these rumors, she shook her head and sighed in disagreement, it seemed that only she knew the real reason.
West Liang Palace
Xiao Qingyue was waiting for someone in a hurry, she sent a message half an hour ago to ask Xiao Nanfeng to meet here, but no one came...
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, a figure sneakily approached the person standing outside the Xiliang Palace.
Xiao Qingyue heard a slight movement and thought it was Xiao Nanfeng coming, but before she could turn around, the person behind her picked up the brick in her hand and struck her the back of the head! Then her eyes went black and she fainted...
At this time, Xiao Nanfeng received the news that he was going to the frost flower shop. Outside the Frost Flower Shop, Su Xing was watering the trees. When he saw the person who suddenly appeared, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
"What are you doing here?"
Xiao Nanfeng frowned slightly, and asked rhetorically, "You didn't send someone to send a message to me here."
Su Xing looked dazed, "I didn't send someone to deliver a message to you"
Both of them looked at each other a little inexplicably, and after a while, their faces changed in unison...
They couldn't help but think of someone, Xiao Qingyue, could this matter have something to do with her?
The two hurried to the Feixia Palace...
Xiao Youyu looked at the two people who appeared at the same time with some strange eyes, "Didn't Qingyue ask the prince to go to the Xiliang Palace?" "Why now, I came to her and asked her where she was.
When Xiao Nanfeng heard this, he couldn't help frowning deeper and deeper, and sure enough, someone had done something from it.
When they arrived at the Xiliang Palace, there was no trace of Xiao Qingyue outside the Xiliang Palace, and only a handkerchief fell under the plane tree outside the hall...
Xiao Qingyue woke up from a coma, a sore pain came from her neck, and she just wanted to press her hand on the painful place, but found that she couldn't move. When I opened my eyes, it was pitch black in front of me.
At this time, the consciousness of her brain gradually cleared up! She looks like she's been attacked! At this time, her eyes were covered with a layer of gauze, she couldn't see anything, her mouth was stuffed, and she couldn't say anything!
Xiao Qingyue struggled to break free from the rope that bound her, but she couldn't break free after trying for a long time. Where was she, who had attacked her! At this moment, she really called the heavens and the earth unspiritual!
At this time, the sound of running water came into her ears, and here it is...
Xiao Qingyue listened carefully to the faint sound of running water outside, and a sound of footsteps passed by, and she woke up suddenly! This is near the pond in the back garden, and the water in the pond is brought in from outside the palace... So, she's still in the palace!
Thinking of this, she made a sound to attract the attention of outsiders, but her mouth was stuffed with something, and she could only make some, "Woo... Woo. The sound is not as loud as the sound of the water.
What to do! This time, is she really dead...
