Chapter 367: Eight Hundred Miles Urgent Battle Report, Losing Momentum
The queen's dress changed back to a festive and solemn red color in full view.
Seeing this scene, everyone invariably came up with an idea: Could this really be providence?
There was a dead silence in the imperial temple.
After carefully inspecting the dress, the steward and supervisor of the Clothing Bureau bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing abnormal about this dress. ”
The Emperor stared at the red dress on the tray as if it were some kind of man-eating monster.
At this time, the queen changed her clothes and returned to the stage with the palace maid.
The emperor snorted coldly, pointed to the robe and said, "I wonder what else the queen has to say now?" ”
The queen looked down at the dress and was dumbfounded.
She was obviously white when she took it off just now, why did she turn back to red now?
She looked at the chief chamberlain who had just taken his clothes and came back, this person was the emperor's confidant, and he would definitely not be easily sold by outsiders, so it was impossible for him to do it.
If it weren't for the hundreds of officials in front of him as evidence, the white clothes just now seemed to be an illusion, and no matter what, people couldn't believe that it really happened.
Why did the queen of the clothes fade when she wore it, but changed back after changing it, could it really be providence?
The queen looked at the red dress, she was still proud when she first came, but now she only feels that this thing is like a life talisman, and she is so frightened that she can't help but kneel on the ground: "Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know!" It was a good dress...... Why did you ......?"
"The people from the Clothing Bureau have carefully checked it just now, and there is nothing wrong with it, I don't know what excuse you have?"
"Your Majesty!" The usually arrogant queen was frightened like gold paper at this time, and the golden hairpin on her head shook crisply, "The concubine has served you for many years, how can she be that ominous person!" ”
The emperor frowned and said, "But how do you explain the omen just now?" ”
No one can give an answer to this question.
Except for Du Wei and King Ying in the crowd, everyone had begun to believe that the fade of the queen's dress was a sign of Qin Tianjian's divination.
Red fall ominous!
The queen knelt on the ground, she had long lost her majestic appearance, and after losing the protection of the king, she was just an ordinary woman.
"Your Majesty, there must be a secret in this matter, the concubine doesn't want to bear that ominous name like this, and asks the emperor to be gracious and investigate this matter thoroughly!" After speaking, he prostrated frequently.
The civil and military officials standing below, and the concubines and concubines of the palace all stood with their heads bowed.
Including the princelings, they all knew very well in their hearts at this time that the emperor was already angry, and he believed that this matter was ominous, so there was no possibility of change.
At this time, if anyone jumps out to intercede for the queen, it will be a fool.
The crown prince injured his leg because of the wedding day of the king, and the emperor pardoned him to recuperate in the palace, otherwise if he was here, the queen would not have a single intercessor by his side.
This is a wrong step, a wrong step.
The king looked at the princelings in the crowd with his spare eyes, and hid his joy in his heart.
The fire was already burning, and the last handful of wood was missing......
Just when the queen questioned the matter and begged the emperor to investigate the matter, an attendant hurriedly came in from outside the imperial temple, holding an official document in his hand, which was sealed with fire paint, he came to the imperial temple in three steps and two steps, and knelt down: "Your Majesty, eight hundred miles in a hurry!" ”
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the chief attendant.
The chief chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward to take the official document, opened it in public, and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor didn't look at it, and when he saw the official document, he immediately angered Tianwei.
"Read it out," the emperor ordered almost through gritted teeth, word for word.
The chief chamberlain heard the cold coldness in the emperor's tone, and his legs trembled with fright, and after receiving the official document, he unfolded it, and read loudly in a sharp voice: "The Northern Domain has invaded, the frontier defenders are unfavorable, two cities have been lost, the enemy army has entered the city, and they have been slaughtered for several days, and there are countless tragic situations. The lord of the city will be fearless of life and death, and will die with the city......"
The emperor's face was gloomy, and anyone could see the anger in his heart at this moment, although many of the hundred officials had doubts in their hearts: this bad omen, I am afraid that it will come too quickly.
In fact, this war report had arrived a few days earlier and was secretly intercepted by the British king.
The Emperor looked at the Empress with a chill in his eyes.
Cold sweat slowly fell from the queen's forehead, she leaned over and kowtowed again, her eyes were full of despair: "Your Majesty ......"
"Two lost cities! The Lord will die with the city! The emperor sneered: "Can you hear the report of the eight hundred miles of urgent battle just now?" ”
"The concubine is terrified." The queen gritted her teeth, anyway, she would rather die than admit this ominous name.
"Okay, good ......" The emperor said a few good words in a row, and the blue tendons on his brows and sideburns burst out, obviously on the verge of anger.
Although she did not look up, the queen seemed to feel that she was falling towards the endless abyss......
"The queen is impetuous, and from now on, the affairs of the harem will be temporarily represented by Concubine Li." The emperor's cold voice echoed above the imperial temple, he looked down at the queen kneeling at his feet, and his eyes could not hide his monstrous anger, "Spread my will, Empress Lu, against the will of heaven, it is now placed in the Ningxiang Palace, it is not as good as the will, no one is allowed to enter and leave without permission, and no one is allowed to visit!" ”
The queen knelt on the ground, her body shivering like a dead leaf in autumn.
"The concubine leads the decree ......" The two palace maids stepped forward and helped the queen up, one left and one right.
At this time, all the princes standing in the front row of the crowd stood up in unison, knelt down, and bowed their hands in unison: "Father, the queen mother has always been virtuous in managing the harem, and I also ask my father to take back his order!" ”
As soon as the princes spoke, a group of ministers behind them knelt down in a big uproar, and said in unison: "Please think twice...... emperor"
Du Wei was mixed in the crowd, looking at the scene of everyone pleading for the queen in front of her, and she felt extremely funny.
These people obviously waited for the emperor to convict him before they came forward to intercede, in order to show that their courtiers were loyal to the king.
Du Wei could see clearly, and the emperor was naturally not confused.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat." The emperor flicked his sleeves impatiently, "I have my own decision, so you don't need to say more." ”
Seeing the emperor's unhappy face, everyone knew that the point was about to stop, so they stood up one by one pretending to be dejected.
The emperor's gaze swept coldly over everyone, and no one dared to say the first half of the sentence.
Everyone silently watched the queen leave the imperial temple step by step, and the proud back of the past seemed a little lonely and sad at this time.
Concubine Li came out at this time and knelt down to thank her: "The concubine will live up to the emperor's trust and is willing to share the emperor's worries." ”
The King of England smiled, Concubine Li got the power of the harem, which was tantamount to the greatest help for him, and now he was one step closer to that son.
The ceremony ended hastily.
The civil and military officials, as well as the women and concubines, all withdrew from the Qingde Palace.
The emperor deliberately left the king of England and others, as well as several generals in the court, to discuss the situation in the north.
Du Wei gritted her teeth, endured the constant sharp pain in her knees, and finally insisted on getting out of a palace gate, seeing the long corridor in front of her, the palace gate seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her.
At the moment when she felt that she was about to fall, she was held by a pair of big hands stretched out from behind her.
She was just about to look back to see who was holding her, when she suddenly felt a tingling sensation in the back of her neck, and she suddenly lost consciousness.
