Chapter 169: Zhaoyang Palace Fight, I Was Imprisoned
When the Empress Dowager came to my Zhaoyang Palace with all the guards, I was sitting in the main hall safe and sound and drinking tea with Luo Liangren.
The slave maid came to report in a panic that the Empress Dowager and Feng Zhaoyi rushed in, and my expression was still quiet and indifferent.
When the Empress Dowager saw me, her expression was very surprised and puzzled, she couldn't believe that I could sit in Zhaoyang Palace unharmed, and she didn't believe that I could return to the palace so quickly.
Yes, she had someone guard there when she entered the gates, and she might have to capture me as soon as I appeared. But she didn't expect that in the backyard of Youyuzhuang, there was a shortcut to go out of the city directly, and it wouldn't take much time.
It seems that the Empress Dowager has suspected me for a long time, but there is no evidence to prove that I am the woman I was back then, the woman who wants to assassinate her all the time. Maybe this time she deliberately arranged such an opportunity, using such an opportunity to prove that I am the wolf girl.
But maybe she was disappointed.
I sat in the main hall as if I didn't know what was going on, and when I saw the Empress Dowager coming, Luo Liangren and I hurriedly got up and saluted.
Feng Zhaoyi's surprise and the Empress Dowager were simply the same expression. They looked at me dumbfoundedly, and I just laughed in my heart.
The Empress Dowager stiffened her expression and said, "Concubine Rong has been in the palace all the time?" ”
"Of course, where can the concubine be if she is not in the palace?" I laughed.
The Empress Dowager snorted in her nose, not quite convinced, she called for someone to come, and the leader of the guards walked in. The Empress Dowager said firmly, "Search for the mourning family." ”
I still didn't say anything, just stood there.
The Praetorian Guards greeted him, and immediately poured in many Praetorian Guards to search my Zhaoyang Palace. The slaves and maids in my palace were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, Yi'er glanced at me, as if she was waiting for my order, as long as I spoke, she might move.
But I believe that the Empress Dowager will not find anything, so she is calm and unusually calm.
At this moment, the emperor hurried over, and as soon as he came in, he hurriedly said to the empress dowager, "Grandmother Huang, what are you doing here?" ”
His tone was not very good, with a coldness. It seems that Tuoba Hong was a little annoyed by the Empress Dowager's behavior.
The Empress Dowager sneered at the emperor with a straight face, "What do you know, you, Concubine Rong, were the witch back then." ”
Tuoba Hong sneered, feeling that the Empress Dowager's words were ridiculous, "I see that the emperor's grandmother's illness is aggravated and her spirit is not clear, how can Concubine Rong be the witch many years ago, how old was I at that time, how old was that witch, will Concubine Rong in front of me be that witch!" Grandmother, don't laugh anymore. ”
The Empress Dowager knew that the emperor didn't believe it, but she just believed it in her heart, maybe she didn't believe it either, but her doubting heart was greater than her trusting heart, she would rather I be the witch, at this time in her control, catch me, maybe she will be comforted.
The Empress Dowager still carried out her wishes, "When the mourning family finds evidence, the emperor will have something to say." ”
Tuoba Hong was full of dissatisfaction with the Empress Dowager's behavior, he stared at the Empress Dowager with some indignation, then walked up to me and shook my hand, and said softly to me, "Rong'er, don't be afraid, with me here, how can I believe the nonsense of the imperial grandmother." ”
I smiled faintly in response to him, indicating that I was not afraid. I know what the evidence in the Empress Dowager's mouth is, but I just want to find the jade qilin from Zhaoyang Palace. And I have already asked Yi'er to send it to Youyuzhuang, even if she digs Zhaoyang Palace today, she can't find it.
I just waited quietly, apparently the Praetorian guards overturned my Zhaoyang Palace, and there was nothing.
When the Praetorian Guard was gone, I saw that her face flashed with disbelief.
Then the Emperor said again, "Grandmother, what have you found, or what are you looking for?" ”
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "Even if I don't find it today, she-" The Empress Dowager pointed at me, "It's the witch back then, the mourning family won't let her go, come and put Concubine Rong in prison and wait for interrogation." ”
The Praetorian Guards answered and were about to move.
Tuoba Hong hurriedly stood in front of me and shouted angrily, "Who dares! ”
The guards froze, not daring to move.
Gongyi strode in at this time, standing on Tuoba Hong's side, it seemed that he was on the emperor's side.
Feng Zhaoyi was silent, she just watched the show herself, what could she say, she didn't want to offend the Empress Dowager, nor did she want to offend the emperor.
And although those guards are Gongyi's subordinates, they belong to the palace guards, and at this time, they don't know whether to listen to the emperor or the empress dowager, so they all don't move.
Stiffened for a moment, the Empress Dowager was still angry, "Take it." ”
The Praetorian replied again, "Yes." ”
Tuoba Hong said angrily again, "Who dares! ”
The Empress Dowager was furious, "The mourning family is not dead, see who dares to obey the orders of the mourning family, that is death!" ”
The guards are finally coming to pull me, I saw that Yi'er was vigilantly trying to make a move, I gave Yi'er a look, even if she did it, she couldn't save me, and she might be sent to death. Yi'er didn't move again.
I said to the emperor quietly, "It's okay, the concubine will be fine even if she goes to the prison, the emperor doesn't have to worry, the concubine believes that the empress dowager will let the concubine go after finding out the situation." I said and looked at the Empress Dowager with a peaceful look.
The emperor was silent, and I was taken away and taken to the Imperial Prison.
I didn't resist because I knew I would be fine, and the Empress Dowager wouldn't be able to show me any evidence.
I still came back because I wanted to find out the reason why Cui Shibo entered the palace in the palace, maybe it was really that reason.
I always felt that Master Cui had left something, but I hadn't found it yet.
I have to find the clue that Master Cui should have left in the palace back then, and this clue should be the reason for his final disappearance.
As soon as I entered the prison, the emperor was restless, and immediately announced his trusted king of Beihai and the king of Rencheng into the palace, and discussed with them the current solution.
The Empress Dowager insisted that I was the witch of the year, of course the emperor didn't believe it, my identity was clearly there, and no one would believe it.
I am obviously the second lady in Gao Yang Mansion, there is proof and basis, who can believe it, but the Empress Dowager has to say this, how can I make the Empress Dowager not doubt it like this, Tuoba Hong is angry, but the ancestor He can't openly resist, that is, unfilial piety, he doesn't want to make himself an unfilial emperor.
The King of Beihai was silent for a long time, he knew my identity, knew that I was the daughter of Yihun back then, not Gao Yang's biological daughter, but he still had doubts about the Queen Mother's words.
Even if he knew that I was the daughter of Yi Hun, it was far from the Thousand-Fingered Witch, and his age did not match, and he didn't believe my skills.
He hesitated for a long time in front of the emperor, not knowing whether to tell me that I was Yihun's daughter.
He was hesitating and grieving.
He still had that affection for me in his heart, and in the end, he left the palace and returned to his Beihai Palace, and he didn't explain it to the emperor.
He was afraid that if he spoke out, my life might not be guaranteed.
Back at his Beihai Palace, he sat down at the table and took out the letter again, hesitating to burn it.
He was in the study, silent and hesitant for a long time, and he also recalled all the things he had done with me.
He was in tears, in his sorrow, in tormenting himself until late at night.
His wife came to bring him some soup, but he was silent.
Zheng Minya saw it in her eyes, although there was no jealous expression on her face, she was very jealous in her heart.
"Your Highness, eat something." Zheng Minya said softly.
The King of the North Sea just glanced at her, "Just leave it here." ”
Zheng Minya looked at him and although he was holding a book in his hand, she actually knew what he was thinking.
"Why can't you let her go, Your Highness, you shouldn't feel sorry for her anymore."
Zheng Minya said very lightly, so light that only she seemed to be able to hear it, but the King of the North Sea had already been angered by her words.
He stared at Zheng Minya coldly, "She, you can't mention it, this king told you." ”
There were tears in Zheng Minya's eyes, every time she mentioned that woman, Her Royal Highness would be annoyed, she knew it, but she was so reluctant to bury her thoughts in her heart, she just wanted to remind Her Highness that that woman was already the emperor's concubine.
"Why can't I forget her, now that she's in prison, look at you, your expression, your sadness is written on your face, you are betraying yourself......"
Zheng Minya said with a sneer.
"Presumptuous!" The King of the North Sea was angry. "Even if you are the wife of this king, you can't talk to this king so presumptuously, you don't need to care about this king's affairs."
Zheng Minya smiled, "Your Highness also knows that Minya is Your Highness's wife, but Minya marries His Highness, does His Highness have Minya is his wife?" ”
It's rare to enter her room once a year, is she still his original wife, Zheng Minya feels that she is really ridiculous, she is just a nominal wife.
The King of the North Sea couldn't refute her words, he just glanced at her silently, he knew that he was too cold to her, but his heart still couldn't let go of that woman.
"Get out!" The King of the North Sea said to her indifferently.
Zheng Minya burst into tears, turned around sadly and strode out the door.
Under the cold wind in the middle of the night, the king of the North Sea sat alone in the pavilion in the courtyard, staring at the sky alone and silently distracted. The wine was drunk in a cup, and my thoughts were also sad in my heart......
Xie Rin stood in the corridor not far away, silently waiting, not daring to go and say a word.
Qingyan walked to Xie Rin's side and just watched helplessly.
It is no wonder that such a big event happened in the palace, and His Royal Highness was not sad.
"The emperor must also have a headache at this time."
Xie Rin said to Qingyan.
"Can you not have a headache, that's Concubine Rong, who is now in prison......" Qingyan said calmly.
She knew that the headache could only be the emperor, and the highness in front of her had already lost his soul.
"But why is this the case, do you believe that Concubine Rong will be the witch back then?" Xie Rin looked at Qingyan.
Qingyan sneered, "Do you believe this kind of absurd thing?" ”
Xie Rin said, "Of course I don't believe it, but the Empress Dowager can't think so for no reason." ”
Qingyan was silent, she felt in her heart that the Empress Dowager was too sick this time and was in a trance.
But Xie Rin's heart thought that when he first saw that girl, he was rescued by the emperor from the misty forest, but the woman back then had said a lot of confused things in her dreams in the Dream Immortal Residence, and he still remembered it vividly.
