Chapter 22 The first acquaintance of the old man, the aftermath lingers
With the loud ups and downs outside the palace, Baili Chenyi fell to the ground in frustration, two lines of tears flowed silently on Leng Jun's face, and the firelight reflected the white robe that looked particularly desolate.
An inner attendant came, whispering in Ji Xueling's ear, Ji Xueling nodded and signaled, and the inner attendant quietly retreated. The slight movements of this series Sheng Gonggong saw it in his eyes, and he was just about to step forward to say something to Ji Xueling, when he suddenly heard the voice of the fake emperor Baili Chaoning behind him: "It's really an eventful autumn, and it doesn't make people worry for a moment, no one cares about the plague in Yuyongguan, and this Zicui Palace is very lively." ”
Outside the palace, except for Baili Chenyi, everyone knelt and bowed: "I hope Your Majesty forgives your sins." Baili Xinchan glanced at the lost Baili Chenyi beside him, and then pulled his robe, Baili Chenyi ignored Baili Xinchan's hints, and the eyes full of hatred were still fixed on Baili Chaoning's ruthless face.
Baili Chaoning crossed the kneeling crowd and came to the front of the Zicui Palace, looking at the Zicui Palace in front of him, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, he turned around for a long time and looked around at everyone and there was no queen, his eyes swept to Pang Ling and moved the jade wrench on his finger, Pang Ling saw this and leaned forward: "The minister heard that an assassin sneaked into the Zicui Palace, and the minister was worried about the safety of everyone in the Zicui Palace, but there was nothing unusual when he came to check, and disturbed Concubine Yu, so the minister stepped forward to burn paper to ask for guilt, but he didn't think that the flame was too strong to ignite the white mantle, so that Concubine Yu's body was buried in the fire." Please ask the emperor to punish his ministers with the death penalty. ”
Baili Chaoning calmly: "It is your duty to keep the palace safe, and it is your unintentional fault to burn Zicui Palace, but it is not appropriate to let Concubine Yu be buried in the sea of fire, and you will be punished to step down from your position as the commander of the forbidden army." Pang Ling kowtowed: "Thank the emperor for his kindness." “
After speaking, everyone sighed and looked at each other and was silent, Ji Xueling stood up from the crowd, her sharp beautiful eyes swept over Pang Ling beside her, the lotus step crossed slightly, and a few strands of green silk were blown up by the wind and fell on the white silk flower in her hair, and the hundred-year-old Chao Ning looked at Ji Xueling with a little elegance in the silence and said: "Concubine Yu, do you have anything to tell you?" Ji Xueling looked at the hundred-year-old Chaoning when the anger in her eyes had already been hidden, and she said softly: "The emperor let the concubine be in charge of the affairs of the harem, and it was the concubine's fault that Concubine Ji's corpse was buried in the fire, but after all, this matter was caused by Commander Pang. This imperial Yongguan should be managed by the king of Xiping, but Yu Feixi, all the princes have returned to Beijing. Now that this matter is left here, it is better to let Pang Tongling go to the border to make up for the disaster. ”
Centennial Chao Ning stared at Ji Xueling for a moment: "Concubine Ji is virtuous and virtuous, and I am very pleased to care for the people, and I ordered the household department Shangshu to send 20,000 taels of gold for disaster relief, and it will be escorted by Commander Pang according to what Concubine Ai said." ”
Pang Ling buried his head and thought that the day after tomorrow would be the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, if he went to the border pass, would there be any changes, not to mention the place where the plague was located and the border pass, in case it ....... With the sound of "Emperor Shengming, Concubine Ji Niangniang is virtuous" wave after wave, Pang Ling raised his head and looked thoughtfully at Baili Chenyi who was in white and shengxue, at this moment, no one outside the palace understood the thousand waves in Pang Ling's heart.
