Chapter 80: Three-foot white silk and a dagger
The group has been walking for more than ten days, and they are not happy to play in the mountains and rivers all the way.
After holding back in the palace for so long, Yun Xianxian finally found the happy self that was once happy.
"Thank you, Murong Yu."
They had just come back from the water's edge that day, and Yun Xianxian said this thoughtlessly.
"Thanks for what? Didn't you say it all! We're friends. ”
Murong Yuyun said lightly.
Looking up at the sky, I found that today's sky is exceptionally blue, and without the foil of clouds, I don't feel monotonous.
"Look! It's so blue! ”
Following the direction of Murong Yu's finger, Yun Xianxian looked up.
The endless blue purity made Yun Xianxian's mood suddenly brighten.
"It's been a long time since I've seen a sky like this."
"Yes! The weather was so nice. ”
Murong Yu also sighed.
After the two of them looked at the sky for a while, the wind blew.
"Let's go! It's windy outside, so let's hurry back to the car! Murong Yu naturally draped the cloak on Yun Xianxian's body and walked in the direction of the carriage with her.
And in the palace at that time, Jing Yibai was furious at the moment.
Originally, after a few words from King Ling made him pause, he immediately sent someone to investigate the matter of the queen's miscarriage.
In a panic in the garden, the steward finally told the story of that day.
"Your Majesty! It was indeed Concubine Yan Niangniang who took the lead in stopping the concubine that day, and pretended to fall on the concubine's body, and then the concubine's feet slipped before she hit the queen behind her, just when the concubine was about to help the queen up, Concubine Yan deliberately kicked the concubine Niangniang down from behind, which made the concubine fall on the queen's stomach again. ”
"Do you have half a lie about this?"
Jing Yibai patted the table and asked.
"The villain will never dare to tell half a lie! The villain hid aside at the time, afraid that a few ladies and beauties would also have no scruples about the villain, Your Majesty, the villain swears, what the villain said is true. ”
Jing Yibai nodded.
"Go down first! Don't disclose this to anyone, or you'll lose your life. Do you understand? ”
"The villain understands, and the villain retires."
How could he not understand that the reason why he dared to come to tell His Majesty until now was that he was afraid that Concubine Yan would find out that she knew the truth and poison him.
For so long, he couldn't sleep, let's talk! I was afraid that Concubine Yan would find trouble for herself, so if I didn't say anything, I felt uneasy about my conscience.
It wasn't until the moment he walked out of the Hall of Light that he was finally freed.
After listening to the steward's statement, Jing Yibai first made an order to take Yun Xianxian out of the cold palace, and then planned to go to Fengxian Palace to find the queen to make it clear, and finally go to take care of the concubine!
It's just that when the people he sent arrived at the cold palace, they found that the cold palace was already empty.
Hearing the reply of his subordinates, Jing Yi got up from his seat in vain.
"What do you say? You repeat! ”
"Slave...... The slave doesn't dare to lie,...... It's really not in the cold palace! ”
The little eunuch who knelt down trembled and replied.
"Someone! Go! Find it for me! They all went out to get the concubine back!! ”
strode down, Jing Yibai raised his leg and kicked the incense burner in the middle over.
"Your Majesty is angry!"
"Go! Call Xiao Qin to me! ”
Jing Yibai's mind was blank, and his heart panicked. Slim was gone, she was gone.
Where can she go? Did she return to her world? No! No, it won't! Slim will not be willing to leave her own.
By the time Xiao Qin arrived, Jing Yibai was already sitting on the ground with a lost soul.
"See Your Majesty."
"You're here." Jing Yi's white face is like a dead ash.
"Yes, I don't know why His Majesty summoned his ministers?"
Jing Yibai said to Gui Yuan beside him:
"Lift me up."
"Yes." His Majesty was going to lie on the ground just now, and no one was allowed to come forward. Now that I have met General Xiao, I have finally regained some of my senses.
Gui Yuan stepped forward cautiously and slowly picked up Jing Yibai again.
"Xiao Qin! Do you know? She's gone......"
"You mean, the Yun clan in the cold palace?"
"That's right! I had planned to have someone pick her up from the cold palace early in the morning...... But the person who sent it said, "In the cold palace...... Empty. You said...... Where can she go? ”
Xiao Qin had never seen such a majesty, his eyes were blank, his words were slurred, as if all the strength in his body had been drained, depressed and lost his soul.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, such a big living person will definitely not be lost. In Yichen's opinion, this matter is mostly related to that Murong Gongzi! ”
As soon as he heard the words "Murong Gongzi", Jing Yibai's eyes instantly turned red.
"This damn Murong Yu! I shouldn't have let him go, what about the people I sent to keep an eye on him? Didn't you notice anything wrong with him? Yes? ”
"Your Majesty, don't be angry, there is no need to be in a hurry about this matter, the minister will take people to search for the whereabouts of the Yun clan throughout the city, if someone really did it on purpose, then someone will definitely see it!" In addition, the people sent by His Majesty should also keep an eye on Murong Yu's movements, and the minister will also try his best to get in touch with them, and once there is a clue, the minister will return to His Majesty as soon as possible. ”
After Xiao Qin's words, Jing Yibai waved his hand weakly.
"Go for it! Let's go down! ”
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
It wasn't until Xiao Qin went out that Jing Yibai settled down again.
"Guiyuan, you go to draft the decree, the Yan concubine is ruthless, harming the queen, framing the concubine, and bullying the king! Give a glass of poisoned wine, a three-foot white silk, and a dagger, choose one of the three and give him suicide! ”
"Yes, the minion will go."
It's just that when the holy decree reached Xiyang Palace, Yan Concubine refused to accept it.
"Go back and tell Your Majesty! Forgive the concubine and can't receive the decree! Your Majesty said that the concubine harmed the queen and framed the concubine? Is there any evidence? And the palace is now pregnant with His Majesty's child, and it has been less than a month, and the concubine can't die! ”
Gui Yuan hesitated, but he still planned to ask the emperor first.
After all, it is not a joke about the imperial heir, what if His Majesty pardons her capital crime for the son of the concubine's womb!
After Gui Yuan led the people away, Concubine Yan immediately took the palace maid in the direction of Yangshou Palace.
She knows the emperor's temper best, Yun Xianxian is simply his life, if she hadn't provoked herself in the middle, with His Majesty's temper, she would never have beaten Yun Xianxian into the cold palace, and now he must know the truth, so he will bring someone to pass the decree, but he can't just die.
She has to hurry up and let the Queen Mother make decisions for herself.
Thinking like this, she quickened her pace and went in the direction of Yangshou Palace.
As soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly said to Xingzhi in the courtyard:
"Xingzhi, I'm sorry for you, just say that there is something important in the palace to see the Queen Mother! Fast! ”
"Wait a minute, the slave will go to the ceremony."
After Xingzhi gave the salute, she immediately turned around and entered the hall.
It took a quarter of an hour before he came out of it.
"Concubine Yan, the Queen Mother invites you in."
"Thank you."
Concubine Yan stepped on broken steps and walked into the hall with a smoke.
When he saw the Queen Mother, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried.
"Queen Mother, please ask the Queen Mother to save her concubines!"
"What's wrong with you? What happened? ”
Seeing Concubine Yan like this, the Queen Mother was also taken aback.
To say that there are many times that Yan Concubine comes to Yangshou Palace on weekdays, but fortunately, with His Majesty's favor, she is not so hypocritical.
Today's sudden occurrence of this also made the Queen Mother a little surprised.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty just sent Father-in-law Gui Yuan to deliver a decree to give death to the concubines! Woo woo woo~~"
"What? Is there such a thing? Why? ”
With the support of Yunxi, the Queen Mother got up from her seat and came to the front of Concubine Yan.
"You get up first."
After Concubine Yan got up, she slowly spoke again.
"Your Majesty doesn't know who you heard from whose mouth the rumor actually said that the queen's miscarriage was done by the concubine, and said that the concubine framed the concubine and harmed the queen. Where did the concubine ever do something like that? Besides, the sisters were all present at the time, how could the concubine go to push the concubine? ”
The Queen Mother sighed and said:
"It turned out to be for Yun Xian Xian's slut again!"
Gongsun is also very helpless, she really doesn't understand, there are thousands of women in the world, why does her son love this Yun Xianxian alone?
"Moreover, yesterday, the concubine just asked the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital to help the concubine check the pulse. The concubine is already happy. ”
"Really? How many months? ”
The Queen Mother instantly came and said with interest.
"The imperial doctor said that it was less than a month old."
The Queen Mother trembled her hands, and the joy in her eyebrows and eyes could not be hidden.
Originally, she was still sorry for the queen's miscarriage a few days ago, but at this moment, she immediately swept away the previous haze.
"Don't worry! The mourning family will never let His Majesty give you death! What if it's the concubine you framed? Yun Xian Xian that slut! The mourning family has long wanted to send her to the cold palace! You've done the mourners a great favor! ”
"Thank you Queen Mother, thank you Queen Mother!"
Concubine Yan kept kowtowing.
With the Queen Mother to help him, even if His Majesty insists on giving himself death, he is not afraid. Now, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's all people with bodies, don't have so many courtesies, get up quickly!"
The Queen Mother said to Concubine Yan with a doting face.
"Yes, thank you for the care of the Queen Mother."
From Xiyang Palace all the way back to the Hall of Light, Guiyuan's heart was drumming.
This concubine is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she is happy at this time, but I don't know if Your Majesty knows about it, and will she be exempted from the death penalty.
It took two quarters of an hour to go back and forth.
The people in the imperial dining room had already prepared the meal and placed it on the table in the palace.
Jing Yibai didn't have the heart to eat at the moment, and it was difficult to swallow these chickens, ducks and fish.
"Your Majesty."
Gui Yuan leaned forward and handed over the holy decree.
"Explain your business so quickly?" Jing Yibai's eyes looked at a place in the room for a moment.
"Your Majesty, forgive me, this errand is a little difficult to do! Concubine Yan Niangniang, she is happy. ”
Beads of longan bean-sized sweat slipped down his sideburns, and his hands holding the holy decree trembled.
Jing Yibai took the holy decree, spread it out, looked at the big seal on it, and sneered:
"Longan, longan! How long have you been on my side? Do you know the truth that it is difficult to change the holy decree at once? ”
"Your Majesty forgives you, after all, the mother is pregnant with your child......"
"Isn't the queen pregnant with my own flesh and blood? It's not that I was framed to death by that slut! ”
Before Gui Yuan finished speaking, Jing Yibai had already interrupted.
Frightened, Gui Yuan leaned over and lay on the ground, not daring to move.
"Damn it! The slave will go to Xiyang Palace again......"
"Don't go and pass the decree yet!"
Throwing the bright holy decree in his hand in front of Gui Yuan, Jing Yibai shouted with a cold face.
Frightened, Gui Yuan took the holy decree and ran out of the Hall of Light.
