Chapter 65: Sit back and wait for the show
In the Qingning Palace, Duanmu Yunji and Liuhuo both sat with solemn faces, listening to the report of Gonggong Tong.
"Why don't you kill her?" Duanmu Yunji listened to Gonggong Tong's words, slapped the table suddenly, and said angrily.
Gonggong Tong looked at Liuhuo and replied in a low voice: "King Jing has an order, you must not kill her, otherwise the minions will not be defeated in the hands of those girls." β
Duanmu Yunji frowned and looked at Liuhuo and asked, "Huo'er, why are you keeping that slut?" β
"Queen Mother, the prince secretly hid the lord of Tanglin, and now in the name of worshipping the concubine, he will meet the lord of the county privately, kill her, will there be a play?" The corners of Ryuhuo's mouth were slightly hooked, and a dark smile appeared on his face.
"Kill her and bring the body back to the emperor to see, isn't the crime the same as that can be set?" Duanmu Yunji asked.
Liuhuo sneered: "That's it, the queen mother is sure that she can bring down the prince?" Doesn't the queen mother know her father's preference for the crown prince? The big deal for my father is to punish a few words, and the scene will pass in one fell swoop, but keep her, and the good show will be behind. β
Duanmu Yunji thought for a moment and said, "Do you want their father and son to fight?" β
"The queen mother finally understood." Ryuhuo's slender eyes narrowed, and he nodded with a sinister smile.
"If your father sees that woman, he will definitely stop doing everything, and the prince will not let go of the woman he likes, so there will really be a good show!" Duanmu Yunji smiled and nodded slightly.
"Without further ado, the queen mother will go to report to her father now, and let her father go to the Taoist temple to pick up the county lord back to the palace." Ryuhuo said.
"Good!" Duanmu Yunji stood up, Gonggong Tong hurriedly bent down to support her arm, and walked out of Qingning Palace with her, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs waiting neatly outside, and went to Ruoxi Palace.
"The Queen Mother has arrivedβ"
The eunuch reported that in the Ruoxi Palace, Lu Hongjing, who was sitting on the soft couch and reclining and reading, suddenly frowned.
"The concubines see the emperor." Duanmu Yunji came into the palace and sent the palace maids and eunuchs out.
"What's the matter?" Liu Hongjing asked coldly.
"Big deal." Duanmu Yunji's tone was also cold.
Liu Hongjing looked back at her, waiting for her to say the following.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the moment when Concubine Xi was dying, and you dripped blood between her eyebrows?" Duanmu Yunji walked to the wall and smiled meaningfully at the portrait of Concubine Xi hanging on the wall.
Liu Hongjing followed her gaze, also looked at the person on the painting, and said, "You say, don't beat around the bush." β
"Is the concubine reincarnated?" Duanmu Yunji turned around and looked at Ryu Hongjing with a slight mockery.
"What are you doing today?" There was uncontrollable anger on Liu Hongjing's face.
Duanmu Yunji looked at him, "haha" laughed twice, then sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, and said: "The concubine came today to tell the emperor a good news, the woman with cinnabar between her eyebrows almost arrived at the emperor's side, but there were twists and turns in the middle, and the woman was privately hidden by the prince." β
Liu Hongjing got up from the couch, walked to her side, frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?" β
Duanmu Yunji looked up at him and said with a smile: "It's ridiculous that the emperor misses the concubine day and night, but the concubine is unconscious when she arrives by her side, and she almost sends someone to kill her, if it weren't for the prince having an affair with her, secretly Chen Cang transferred her, this will make Concubine Xi afraid to suffer from reincarnation again, hahaha." β
"Tell me clearly, what the hell is going on?" Liu Hongjing reached out and grabbed Duanmu Yunji's collar.
"The lord of Tanglin was born with a cinnabar mole, and he is as beautiful as a fairy, he was originally born in the mountains of Dongling, but he was selected as a show girl and sent to the emperor all the way, if it wasn't for the reincarnation of Concubine Xi, how could there be such a strange fate?" Duanmu Yunji said.
"She has a cinnabar mole? Why didn't Taifu tell me? Liu Hongjing's hands trembled slightly.
"The prince is naturally for the prince, he must have known the prince's private relationship with the lord of Tanglin, and he was afraid that the prince would miss the future, so he killed the county lord by the hand of the emperor, and it was a hundred times." Duanmu Yunji sneered.
"Don't keep telling me that she has an affair with the prince, don't think that I don't know that you want to take the opportunity to frame the prince!" Liu Hongjing glared at Duanmu Yunji and shouted.
"Hmph, if there is a personal affair, the emperor will naturally know in the future, if the concubine doesn't say it, the emperor should go to the Sanqing Taoist Temple early to welcome the reincarnated county lord of Xi Guifei back to the palace, maybe she will elope with the prince if she goes late." Duanmu Yunji looked mocking.
Liu Hongjing let go of her, turned around and strode out, while instructing the general manager around him to quickly pass the Taifu into the palace.
The old lady was rushed into the palace by the emperor, and he didn't know what was going on, he walked into the Qinzheng Hall with a dragon head cane, and saw that the emperor was not good, and asked honestly: "Your Majesty, you summoned the old minister to enter the palace urgently, I don't know what happened?" β
"Taifu, why did you deceive me?" Liu Hongjing asked Taifu with a calm face, no head, no brain.
"The minister is afraid, when will the minister dare to deceive the emperor?" Taifu was so frightened that he was about to kneel, but Liu Hongjing was helpless, and stretched out his hand to support him, and said: "There is a cinnabar mole between the eyebrows of the lord of Tanglin County, why didn't you report it truthfully?" β
When Taifu heard the emperor ask about the county lord of Dongling, he was stunned, and he secretly wondered in his heart, he didn't know who leaked the secret, but now that the county lord is dead, the bones have been buried, and he will not admit it only if he dies. "The emperor has to listen to slander, there is no such thing."
"Bold! You're still cheating on me! Lu Hongjing's face was angry.
Taifu looked at the emperor and guessed what had happened.
"Is there a cinnabar mole at all? I don't want you to be old enough to commit the crime of bullying! Liu Hongjing's face was serious, and he stared at the old lady tightly.
"Your Majesty! Please be considerate of the old minister's loyalty! The lord of Tanglin does have a cinnabar mole, Qi Yu just wants to use this to manipulate the emperor, so he served her a heart-eating poison, the emperor, if the old minister doesn't kill her, the future of Xiling is unimaginable! has never been beautiful and mistaken for the country, because of Daji, Wu is Xi Shi, and the minister doesn't want Xiling to be destroyed because of her! As he spoke, Taifu fell to his knees with tears in his eyes.
Liu Hongjing looked at him and muttered for a moment, and said, "It is said that the county lord is not dead. β
"She's not dead? It's impossible, the minister has already sent someone to examine the body, there can't be a mistake! Taifu was shocked and looked up at the emperor.
"It is said that the county lord is now hiding in the Sanqing Taoist Temple, I want to go to the Sanqing Temple to see what is going on, I hope that before I arrive at the Sanqing Temple, the county lord will not have any mistakes, otherwise I will not care about the kindness of the monarch and the minister!" Liu Hongjing finished speaking word by word, and walked out quickly with his sleeves.
Taifu slumped on the ground, wept bitterly, beat his chest and sighed: "Wronged! Should Xiling be so difficult? No, the old man will fight to destroy the nine clans, and he will never let that woman enter the palace! β
