Chapter 225: Concubine Xuan and King Ming

"Your Majesty." Mu Lingyun took a deep breath, her hair was a little messy because she trotted over, and it was blown by the wind on the road, and she didn't have time to tidy it up, so she hurriedly told the emperor.

"What's the alarm?" It was unusual to see Mu Lingyun coming in such a hurry, and the emperor also beat a drum in his heart.

"Jin Shaoming went to sit in the afternoon at the invitation of Yang Guifei, but seeing that it was getting late, he hadn't returned home yet, I think he must have been locked up by Yang Guifei." Mu Lingyun concisely relayed what happened to the emperor, and wanted him to follow him to Yang Guifei's bedroom to find out.

"Locked up? This is no small matter. The emperor frowned, King Ming is his brother, if he has any accident, there will be an uproar in the court.

"Yes, so I want to ask the emperor to go to Yang Guifei's bedroom to check it out." Mu Lingyun folded his hands and looked at the emperor earnestly, with a bit of unusual arrogance.

The emperor bowed his head, got up and walked down, and went to Yang Guifei's bedroom with Mu Lingyun, who followed him all the way. Yang Guifei heard the eunuch outside shouting, "The emperor has arrived." She hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, and when she saw Ling Yun behind her, she wanted to strangle her to death.

The emperor ignored Yang Guifei, sat straight on the main seat, and after inspecting the circle, he said, "I heard that you locked up King Ming?" ”

"The concubine was wronged, it really wasn't the concubine's doing." Yang Guifei pretended to be panicked, and her face was full of grievances and grievances, so she had to kneel down for the emperor.

"Nonsense, yesterday your personal palace maid specially came to inform me, saying that you would set up a banquet today to poison King Ming." Mu Lingyun stood beside the emperor, seeing that Yang Guifei was acting, she glared at her viciously, and she retorted angrily.

"Princess Ming is talking about Yuxiu? But she was sent out of the palace by me yesterday. Yang Guifei looked at Mu Lingyun's fierce posture, and she was not afraid, ignoring the flames in her eyes, and said leisurely.

"No way, she was still doing things with you yesterday." Mu Lingyun was a little panicked in her heart, seeing that Yang Guifei was confident, she was afraid that Yuxiu would be killed by Yang Guifei, so she was so arrogant.

"Princess Ming, you have no evidence, but slander, otherwise you can call Yuxiu over and confront him face to face." Yang Guifei looked disdainful and provoked Mu Lingyun, wanting to provoke her to anger her, so as to make a fool of herself in front of the emperor.

Mu Lingyun knew that he had no way to find Yuxiu, so he diverted from the words: "Okay, if you really didn't do anything wrong, then let the guards go in and search so that I can be convinced." ”

"This is my dormitory, where any cat or dog can enter." Yang Guifei heard Mu Lingyun's agitation method, where would she be willing, hurry up and stop it.

"Yang Guifei, if you haven't done something wrong, what are you afraid of?" Mu Lingyun moved to Yang Guifei, stared at her eyes, and said softly, but there was undoubted firmness in his tone.

"Don't say anything about it." The emperor stopped the two arguing, his tone was a little unhappy, and said: "Yang Guifei, if you really don't do anything wrong, let people search it." ”

"Your Majesty, do you believe in your concubines?" But the emperor ignored her pleas. "Someone is going to go in and search."

Before Yang Guifei could say anything, the guards had already rushed in to search, Mu Lingyun followed the guards to also go in to search, walked to Yang Guifei's bedroom, and saw a secret door on the wall, which had not been closed, she walked along the road and kept going inside, the more she walked inside, the darker it became, and after a long time, she walked to the end, and saw that there was only one cell inside, and it was Jin Shaoming who was locked inside.

Mu Lingyun stepped forward and hurriedly split the lock with his sword, and when he saw that Jin Shaoming was weak and there was a wound on his neck, he guessed that Yang Guifei did it.

"Shaoming?" Mu Lingyun threw down the sword in his hand, gently helped Jin Shaoming up, hugged it to his chest and whispered with pity.

Jin Shaoming was in her arms, and it took a long time to freeze her eyes, and she recognized that it was Mu Lingyun in front of her, and he: "Lingyun? ”

"It's me, I'm here to take you back, can you go?" Jin Shaoming nodded, Mu Lingyun helped him stand up, too much blood loss and a bad environment, if it wasn't for his good physical fitness, he would have lost his breath by now.

The two of them moved out of the cell little by little and walked out of the dungeon, the emperor saw Mu Lingyun helping Jin Shaoming out, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, and when Jin Shaoming sat down, the emperor stared at Yang Guifei in a blink of an eye, and fire could be spewed out in his eyes.

Yang Guifei was so frightened that the six gods had no master, and she immediately knelt in front of the emperor and begged for mercy: "The emperor forgives the sin, but the concubine was confused for a while and made a big mistake." ”

"Is that what you say? King Ming is my brother, and if he has any strengths and weaknesses, you will wait to be buried with him. The emperor was furious, and he couldn't wait to slap Yang Guifei in the face to relieve his anger, his concubine would actually want to kill his brother, if this matter spread, what kind of face would he have.

"Your Majesty, it's the concubines who are ignorant, but, but, this is not the work of the concubines alone. It was Concubine Xuan, she asked me to do this. Yang Guifei was frightened and confessed to Concubine Xuan, wanting to escape the catastrophe.

"Concubine Xuan? Ridiculous! As soon as he heard that it was Concubine Xuan, the emperor was even more furious, he sent Concubine Xuan into the cold palace, and he already felt that it was a very cruel thing in his heart, and directly denied the possibility of Concubine Xuan in his heart.

"Your Majesty, what Yang Guifei said is probably true, she also said it herself, it was Concubine Xuan who instructed her to do this behind the scenes." Jin Shaoming sat in his seat and spoke slowly, he had been listening to their conversation just now.

Hearing Jin Shaoming say this, the emperor's face was a little embarrassed, and after a long time, he slowly spoke, "Spread Concubine Xuan." ”

Soon after, Concubine Xuan walked slowly from the door, she was dressed more plainly than usual, and she did not wear any hair accessories, just like a woman who fell into the cold palace in a regular manner, she only glanced at Yang Guifei who was kneeling in front of the emperor, and had already estimated something in her heart, standing next to Yang Guifei, and dignified to the emperor to say goodbye.

"The emperor is auspicious."

"Concubine Xuan is exempt."

"I don't know why the emperor summoned his concubines to come?" Concubine Xuan spoke slowly, her tone was completely different from before, and the emperor saw that Concubine Xuan was so pitiful, and he felt a little sorry in his heart.

"Yang Guifei said that she imprisoned King Ming today, was it you who instigated it?" The emperor's tone also softened, and he didn't have the same anger as Yang Guifei just now, Yang Guifei felt that this was really ridiculous when she looked at it from the side.

"Yang Guifei? The concubine and her have never known each other, so how can they instruct her? . Concubine Xuan looked sincerely puzzled.

This move really annoyed Yang Guifei who was on the side, her face turned pale, and she looked up and glared at Concubine Xuan, "Concubine Xuan, how can you lie without blushing and heartbeat?" ”

"Yang Guifei, why do you frame me, if you do something wrong and admit your mistake to the emperor, the emperor will spare you." Concubine Xuan was still gentle, as if she wanted to persuade Yang Guifei to let her turn back as soon as possible.

"Oh, it's ridiculous, so you're all here for now? I've always been a pawn you've been using, haven't I? Yang Guifei was angry, she stood up and went to Concubine Xuan: "It's all my fault that I'm too stupid, why have you just been just talking about it all along, and I'm going to run errands for you, it turns out that you have already left yourself a way back." ”

Concubine Xuan was slightly angry, but her tone was still very calm, and she just said categorically: "Yang Guifei, don't be untrustworthy anymore." ”

"What, are you scared? Don't think I really don't know anything. Yang Guifei turned around and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, whether you believe it or not, all this is Concubine Xuan's idea, Concubine Xuan, she wants to take your place, become the empress who will go down in history, the previous assassination in King Ming's mansion, and the medicine that poisoned King Ming, including setting up this banquet, are all Concubine Xuan's ideas, and she instructed me to do it." ”

"Enough, you're going to frame others when you're dying?" The emperor stopped Yang Guifei from continuing to talk nonsense, and her angry face was already red.

"Your Majesty, how can you believe me?" Yang Guifei whimpered, she has now completely lost her previous arrogant appearance, and she looks miserable and depressed.

"Until now, unless you have proof, how do you want me to believe you." Yang Guifei listened to the banter on her face, "Evidence? Where do I have any evidence now? What else can I do now but die? ”

"Your Majesty, please believe that what the concubine said is true." After speaking, Yang Guifei couldn't help but shed tears, went straight to the wall, and hit it headlong, splashing blood on the wall.

Mu Lingyun and Jin Shaoming, who were present, and the emperor's concubine Xuan were all taken aback.

"Doctor, doctor." It was Mu Lingyun who reacted first, but when the imperial doctor arrived, Yang Guifei was already completely dead, only those eyes were still open, and she couldn't blink an eye.

The emperor watched Yang Guifei being carried out, sighed heavily, and said, "This matter is over here, no one is allowed to pursue it in the future, King Ming, you should also go back to the house to rest as soon as possible." ”

"Your Majesty." Jin Shaoming endured his injury, stood up and stretched out his hand in front of the emperor, blocking his way, his eyes revealed perseverance, and with a little disappointment, he said: "This matter, is it all?" ”

"Yang Guifei is dead, and there is nothing to investigate, and the dead are the greatest, so be it." The emperor didn't look away, pretending not to see the expression on Jin Shaoming's face, and wanted to bypass Jin Shaoming's hand.

"The dead are greater? Or do you want to settle things? Jin Shaoming refused to give up, and moved in front of the emperor again, still blocking his way.

"King Ming!" The emperor was also angry, he looked directly at Jin Shaoming, and now he just regarded him as a courtier who had committed a crime, without the pity and concern he had before.

"Your Majesty, this matter is a matter of national body, and you can't be hasty." Jin Shaoming couldn't put his hand down, and his tone softened, but he still didn't want to give up.

"That's enough, this is my country, do you want to interfere?" The emperor saw that Jin Shaoming was endless, and he was a little angry, but seeing that he was so weak, he endured his temperament and said, "This matter is settled, you go back and rest."

He no longer paid attention to Jin Shaoming's bitter pleading, brushed his sleeves and left.
