Chapter 124: A Vicious War Breaks Out
Chinese After the guests retreated, Emperor Huicheng, who was furious, did not give Queen Lou any chance to justify, and slapped Queen Lou with a backhand and rolled off the high platform of the phoenix chair.
The sudden change shocked the few people who remained. At that time, the red sleeves on the stage were also taken to the Tai Hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and the people of the troupe also left, Lou Yue got off the stage, and together with Su Liuying, he came to the palace again.
Queen Lou rolled down from the first place, although there were only two or three steps that were not high, but she could roll down all the way, and she was also embarrassed.
Feng Fei's golden crown fell off his bun, and the delicate peony bun was scattered. The redundant and luxurious Feng Zhai became her burden at this time, and she couldn't get up from the ground for a long time with her body entangled, until Rong Qing stepped forward with a big belly and helped her up with Yingluo, who was so frightened that her hands and feet were sore, that she knelt down in front of Emperor Huicheng with a white face.
Finger marks immediately swollen on the right side of his face, half of his face was flushed, and a hot pain spread from his face to his whole body.
Not only did her face hurt, but what really made Queen Lou worse than dead at this time was the despair and deep shame brought to her by Emperor Huicheng's slap!
The queen of a dignified country was slapped in front of her children in public, what a great shame!
Rong Qing had already been shocked by the poison taken by the red sleeves before, and then thought of his queen mother who was unabashedly mentioned in the play, and he already understood that the play was about nineteen years ago, when the queen mother designed to frame her father's favorite concubine Qiong Niangniang.
Thinking of the very similar faces of Concubine Qiong and Su Liuying, and then thinking of her shouting in front of the palace before, asking her father to find out the truth nineteen years ago, I suddenly thought in horror, could it be that Su Liuying's aunt, who had been dead for four years, was the same person as Concubine Qiong?
Once this thought fell in her heart, it quickly took root, and she couldn't help but feel a chill all over her body, and finally realized the seriousness of the situation tonight, so after seeing her father beat her mother in anger, although Rong Qing was heartbroken, she trembled and didn't dare to open her mouth to beg for mercy for her mother at this time, but silently stepped forward to help Queen Lou up, and didn't dare to say a word.
The crown prince Yin Xian was not as cunning as Rong Qing, although he also saw that tonight's incident was aimed at his mother, but he still couldn't help but rush forward and stalk his neck to Emperor Huicheng
"Father, what did the queen mother do wrong, let you ......treat her like this on her birthday" Emperor Hui Cheng was already furious, his teeth creaked with hatred, and his face turned pale.
As soon as he raised his hand, he couldn't help but drop the wine jug in front of the prince and shouted
"What did you do wrong? You go and ask your viciously disguised good mother, and let her tell you in person what good things she did back then?! The wine jug exploded in front of the prince, and the splashes of wine stains splashed the wine stains on the body of Queen Lou who was kneeling in front of her, staining the bright Feng Zhai on her body with a little black water mark, describing the more and more wolflike.
The prince was already cowardly and incompetent, and he had already turned pale with fright under Emperor Huicheng's strong drink, and he didn't dare to say anything more, and as usual, he involuntarily hid behind Queen Lou, who was trembling all over.
Step by step, Emperor Huicheng's eyes fell on Queen Lou, who was trembling, and gritted his teeth and said hatefully
"This is the truth of Concubine Qiong's 'violent death' nineteen years ago, this is your poisonous plan to hide from the world - Lou Yun, you are so vicious, you have always treated you as a sister before, and she will share a string of Buddhist beads that I gave her to keep her safe, but I didn't expect that you would do such a vicious and chilling thing with such a conscience - I have always been a good queen who is gentle and virtuous!"
"Heh, what a good queen, a 'good' queen who cares about people's lives and plots to kill other people's lives!" Emperor Huicheng's undisguised sarcasm, disappointment and hatred on his face deeply stung Queen Lou's panicked and desperate person.
She raised her eyes in a panic and looked at her husband in front of her, who had been with her for most of her life, and her heart ached intensively.
"Your Majesty, today's incident looks like someone deliberately framed the concubine...... deliberately neglected to take precautions on the concubine's birthday, and made such a bitter drama to wronged the concubine......"
"Your Majesty, so many years have passed since the matter of Concubine Qiong's sister, and Your Majesty has already judged the matter of that year, how can you get to this day, but this basin of dirty water is poured on the concubine without any basis based on the speculation of some ill-intentioned people...... What has not been done, how can Your Majesty let the concubines admit it! "Also, nineteen years have passed since the old events in the East Palace, and everyone who knew about this fact had been secretly executed by her and Lou Yu, leaving no evidence behind, so Queen Lou insisted on this and swore that she would not admit it.
She thought with the last bit of luck that even if Su Liuying heard Concubine Qiong tell the truth about what happened back then, she would definitely not be able to come up with empirical evidence.
Otherwise, Concubine Qiong would not have lived secretly for more than ten years, nor would she have declared her grievances. Queen Lou didn't care about the wolf in the room, knelt down in front of Emperor Huicheng, and pulled the feet of Emperor Huicheng's robe and cried mournfully
"Your Majesty, the concubines have been by your side for most of their lives from the East Palace to the Harem, giving birth to children for you...... What kind of person is a concubine, doesn't Your Majesty know it? How can you not believe the concubine because of the unfounded words of a few dramas, the concubine is the queen of Dayong, and even more so your wife! Queen Lou cried like rain of tears, describing the sadness as moving.
Seeing this, Rong Qing and Yingluo, who were following Queen Lou, also quickly knelt down and spoke for Queen Lou.
And the crown prince also agreed, standing behind Queen Lou and muttering
"Yes, father, it has been so long since the events of that year, and there is no evidence, and it is too ...... to convict the queen mother just by a single drama It's too hasty...... "From beginning to end, as Princess Rongqing's concubine, she should belong to Queen Lou's faction, and Li Xiu, who should help Queen Lou speak, didn't say a word, but just looked at Su Liuying who was standing aside with deep eyes, thinking about the old things about Concubine Qiong on the stage, and then thinking of Su Liuying's aunt who I saw in the Su family four years ago, I was shocked!
It turned out that her aunt was actually the holy favorite concubine of the year - Concubine Qiong Niangniang?! While he was shocked, Li Xiu was waiting for the development of the situation.
watched coldly, but he knew that Lou Yue and Su Liuying were attacking Queen Lou this time, and the decisive battle would not be as simple as just one play, and he was afraid that more Queen Lou's crimes would be revealed, so he didn't say a word, and stood quietly by the side and waited for the situation to continue to develop...... What Queen Lou expected was true, after so many years, Su Liuying and Lou Yue really couldn't come up with empirical evidence to testify against Queen Lou.
However, she also thought wrongly, because the drama was just a fuse, and it was the fuse for Lou Yue to arouse Emperor Huicheng's resentment towards Empress Lou, so that Emperor Huicheng made up his mind not to let Queen Lou go.
The real death of Queen Lou is still to come. Brought the two strings of Buddha beads stained with red sleeves and blood back to Queen Lou, Su Liu's eyes were cold, and he said coldly
"With the ruthless methods of the queen mother, there will be evidence left there? That's why the mother did the vicious thing, and she could continue to do the bad things with peace of mind and without the slightest fear of remorse! ”
"But you didn't expect that it was the Buddha beads that A-Niang kindly gave you at the beginning that exposed everything about you!" An understatement of the word 'let' made Queen Lou's whole body tremble violently, and once again aroused the monstrous hatred in Queen Lou's heart.
Trembling up from the ground, Queen Lou's blood-red eyes glared at Su Liuying fiercely, gritting her teeth
"Slut, do you want to slander this palace with just a string of Buddhist beads? You're too whimsical......" Seeing that Queen Lou was driven crazy by herself, Su Liuying's heart was slightly relieved.
Why do the harem women fight, everything is just for the emperor's favor and their own status interests.
Although Su Liuying didn't know what made Queen Lou poison A-Niang ruthlessly, but after hearing Emperor Huicheng's words, she understood that A-Niang back then must have been infinitely favored and overwhelmed Queen Lou, who was still the crown princess.
Even a string of Buddhist beads has to be humbled by others, which makes Queen Lou, who was born in a famous family and a beautiful daughter of the Son of Heaven, endure it?
Therefore, looking at Queen Lou who had calmed down, Su Liuying deliberately reminded A-Niang of the matter of humbly letting her Buddha beads back then, which angered Queen Lou's emotions.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Queen Lou no longer knelt on the ground and pretended to be pitiful and aggrieved, and finally got up from the ground and reprimanded Su Liuying fiercely.
And the sentence 'Ah Niang' finally made Li Xiu and Prince Rongqing understand that Su Liuying was really the daughter of Concubine Qiong nineteen years ago.
Even Concubine Ning and Princess Linglan were shocked. And at this time, Concubine Ning also understood what Su Liuying's outright hatred for Queen Lou was for.
Thinking of Su Liuying's aunt who he saw four years ago, Li Xiu couldn't help but wonder while being shocked - since Concubine Qiong died nineteen years ago, what happened to Su Liuying's aunt who 'died' four years ago?
Just when everyone was shocked and confused, Su Liuying sneered
"Yes, a string of Buddhist beads is indeed not enough to convict the queen of the downstairs for murdering the concubine, but it can convict the mother of murdering the emperor's heir!" After that, she said coldly
"Niangniang should know who my mother's Buddha beads got from. You rewarded her to Qinghui of the Zhidian of Anguo Temple, and hid the musk that caused a miscarriage in the beads of the Buddha beads, and let Qinghui secretly put it into the incense of the Buddha Hall when Concubine Ning went to Anguo Temple to pray for the prince in her womb, and framed Concubine Ning for a miscarriage without knowing it, so that she lost the prince in her womb......"
"Slut, you ...... You are spewing blood...... "I thought that Su Liuying would keep pestering Concubine Qiong nineteen years ago, but what Queen Lou didn't expect was that she turned Concubine Qiong's matter to Concubine Ning's miscarriage in a blink of an eye, and she couldn't help but be shocked and panicked again.
Ignoring Queen Lou's reprimand, Su Liuying continued
"After Qinghui's affair was exposed, in order to kill people and get back the Buddha beads, the queen mother sent a killer to ambush at the foot of Liangshan Mountain and kill Concubine Ning and her party!" Su Liuying's words are beady, like a sharp blade stabbing towards Queen Lou.
Queen Lou's face was pale, and she already understood in her heart that today, Su Liuying and they were not just seeking justice for Concubine Qiong, but they wanted to expose all their crimes and completely kill themselves!
My heart was cold, and there was endless panic. However, before she could deny it, Concubine Ning on the side had already stepped forward and knelt in front of Emperor Huicheng and said sadly
"Your Majesty, this Buddha bead was taken from Qinghui's hand, but she is a sister-in-law of a temple, and she has never even met with her concubines, let alone resentment, everything is done by her for others, and this person is the queen who gave her Buddha beads."
"Your Majesty, it took four years for the concubine to conceive your child again, and the concubine cherished it very much, and only hoped to give birth to a lovely little prince for His Majesty, but I didn't expect that she was framed by the queen. And the concubine almost died at the hands of the assassins sent by the queen......"
"Your Majesty, that's your own flesh and blood, you must seek justice for your concubines and poor little princes!" Emperor Huicheng had calmed down from the initial anger, but the resoluteness and coldness in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
He looked at Queen Lou, who was described as a gray mess, and sneered coldly
"I wonder how many things I don't know? Queen, do you say it yourself, or do you let them say it for you? Empress Lou's whole body trembled violently, and her whole body was cold to the bone-Emperor Hui Cheng said this, but she believed everything that Concubine Ning and Su Liuying said.
Queen Lou stood there with Yingluo's hand held her head high, her eyes swept over the faces of Su Liuying, Lou Yue Ning, and finally landed on the Buddha beads in Su Liuying's hand, and laughed tremblingly
"It's Buddha beads again! I want to condemn the palace with a string of Buddhist beads - unfortunately, I will disappoint you again. Because, the string of Buddhist beads has been lost for many years. ”
"During this period, how many people have passed the Buddha beads, and how they finally arrived in the hands of Qinghui, but the palace knows nothing. Therefore, Concubine Ning's miscarriage has nothing to do with this palace! "Queen Lou is really powerful, even if she is in such a crisis, she can calm down and find a way out for herself.
Hearing this, Su Liuying and Concubine Ning didn't realize that their eyes sank. And Yingluo, who had been in deep fear, was finally pulled back to her senses by Queen Lou's counterattack, and she also opened her mouth to justify
"Niangniang's makeup has always been managed by the slave maid, and the string of Buddhist beads that Niangniang took by mistake was lost as early as when Niangniang left the East Palace and stayed in Yongkun Palace. The slave maid remembered that the mother was still very sad for a while, saying that the Buddha beads were relics left by Concubine Qiong, and it should be a kind of thought to keep them......
Therefore, where did the Buddha beads go after they were lost, and how they got into the hands of the sister-in-law of Anguo Temple, the mother did not know. And Concubine Ning's miscarriage, as well as the assassins under Liangshan, and the ...... who has nothing to do with my mother's business" Yingluo's words even left Queen Lou and Qinghui and Buddha beads, as well as Concubine Ning's miscarriage completely abandoned.
At this point, Queen Lou and Yingluo breathed a sigh of relief, and even took Rongqing and the prince to relax. Rong Qing also stepped forward
"Father, my daughter grew up beside the queen mother since she was a child, but she has never seen this string of Buddhist beads, so the queen mother didn't lie, and the Buddhist beads were only afraid that they would be lost a long time ago, so these things have nothing to do with the queen mother." Yingluo said again
"If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can gather everyone in Yongkun Palace and the palace and ask them if they have seen the Buddha beads appear next to Niangniang." Nineteen years, because she took the wrong Buddha beads with Concubine Qiong, Queen Lou will think of Concubine Qiong when she sees the Buddha beads, coupled with the hatred of Concubine Qiong in her heart, how could Queen Lou wear Concubine Qiong's Buddha beads in front of people?
! After discovering that she had taken the wrong Buddha beads, Queen Lou asked Yingluo to throw the Buddha beads. Yingluo put the Buddha beads on her body and threw them out when she was about to count the warehouse, but when she was sorting out the warehouse, she dropped the Buddha beads in the cage of Queen Lou, and turned them out when she was sorting out the cage last year.
It happened that Queen Lou was thinking about giving something to Qinghui at that time, so Yingluo took it out and gave it to Qinghui...... Therefore, the Buddha beads that have been pressed in the warehouse cage for more than ten years, except for Queen Lou and Yingluo, no one has seen them at all...... Hearing the words of Rongqing and Yingluo, Emperor Huicheng's face that had been tense was unconsciously relieved - leaving aside the matter of Concubine Qiong, regarding the case of Concubine Ning's miscarriage, a string of Buddhist beads from nineteen years ago alone is indeed not enough to explain anything.
At this time, Princess Linglan, who had been silent and standing silently in the corner, finally stepped forward with tears in her eyes at the signal of Lou Yue, knelt in front of Emperor Huicheng, presented a letter to Emperor Huicheng, and cried bitterly
"Father, the mother concubine was framed by a traitor that day, and she was slandered as the murderer of Ning Niangniang's miscarriage, and she was beaten into the cold palace and died in the cold ......palace."
"And the mother's brother and daughter's maternal uncle were also slandered as the accomplices of the mother's concubine, and they bought the killers to assassinate Concubine Ning, so they were pursued by the imperial court, and they were even framed and absconded!"
"But just yesterday, my daughter received a letter from her uncle, and she knew the truth of everything that day!"
"The mother concubine has never harmed Concubine Ning, and the uncle has not bought murder. And the so-called fear of crime was taken hostage by the real murderer, and with the life of my uncle's family and my life, I wanted to threaten my mother and concubine to be the scapegoat of the real murderer! After seeing her uncle's handwritten letter last night, Ling Lan finally solved the confusion in her heart and knew that the murderer of her mother was Queen Lou.
When she learned the truth, Ling Lan was grief-stricken, if it weren't for her promise to Lou Yue to expose all the crimes of Queen Lou today, she would have gone to Queen Lou that night to fight hard.
Thinking of the unjust tragic death of the mother concubine, and thinking of the false appearance of Queen Lou pretending to love and comfort herself in front of her after killing her mother, Ling Lan not only wanted to slap herself twice, but also wanted to slap Queen Lou twice...... And when she thought of Lu Mo's severed tongue and her severed teeth, Ling Lan couldn't believe that all of this was done by the gentle and virtuous queen......
"And that real murderer, it's you, Queen Lou!" Ling Lan stretched out her hand and gritted her teeth and pointed at Queen Lou, who had just gasped, her eyes glared at her fiercely, and the fingers pointing at her couldn't stop trembling with anger and hatred.
As soon as Ling Lan's words came out, not only shocked everyone, but also made Queen Lou, who had already gasped, fall into the abyss again!
Without hesitation, Emperor Huicheng took out his letterhead and looked at it in public. Gradually, Emperor Huicheng's face was as black and cold as a thousand-year-old iron, and a trace of terrifying murderous aura burst out of his eyes!
Coming to Queen Lou and throwing the letterhead in her face, Emperor Huicheng said coldly
"Poisonous woman, until now, you still dare to say that you didn't do all this?!" The pale yellow letterhead fell in front of Queen Lou like a life-urging ghost talisman from hell, and her whole body trembled violently, like falling into an ice cellar, and finally she trembled so much that she couldn't stand on her feet and fell to the ground again.
She didn't dare to look at what was written on the letterhead on the ground, and she rejected it from her heart, but now, there was something she could not do if she didn't want to.
Her hands trembled like fallen leaves in the wind, and Queen Lou finally leaned over to pick up the letterhead in front of her, looking at the bloody accusations against herself word by word on the letterhead in despair and panic...... When she put down the letterhead, Queen Lou's mind was blank - didn't Concubine Chen's brother die in the hands of his own people when he fled?
How could such a letter still appear? Suddenly, she suddenly thought of something, turned her head in shock, and looked at Lou Yue with a calm face - it was him, everything was arranged by him, and Concubine Ning and Ling Lan were all assigned by him to deal with themselves!
A trace of blood stains overflowed from between Queen Lou's teeth, Queen Lou gritted her teeth and looked at Lou Yue, then at Su Liuying, Concubine Ning, and Princess Linglan, pointed at them with trembling fingers, and sneered
"Your Majesty, haven't you understood? One by one, they joined forces to deal with me, and one by one they were looking forward to the death of Hongu. Your Majesty, I can write you countless letters like this. The palace had already heard that the old man died of a violent illness on the way to abscond, how could such a letter come out, and it was fake at first glance...... It's all about them to frame Ben Gong for faking, and Ben Gong doesn't believe it...... I won't believe it anyway......" At this time, Queen Lou was already crazy in her description, and she could no longer care about maintaining her solemn appearance that had been false for more than ten years, and her face was hideous.
"Is it that the people who died at the hands of my aunt ended up dying of 'violent disease'?!" Lou Yue, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke at this time.
His eyes were unusually indifferent and he looked at the Queen Lou on the ground, and his voice was cold and frozen.
"Concubine Qiong was like this nineteen years ago, Concubine Chen nineteen years later, Chen Nian, Lin Yan, the shadow guards of the Lou family who were coerced by you to kill the assassin and kill themselves, and the princes and princesses in the harem who had miscarriages and died young... And my mother, Princess An, who was pushed off the cliff by you, has all become the so-called 'violent illness and death' in your mouth?! ”
"And when you framed these people, how many innocent palace doctors did they follow and die! Auntie, aren't you afraid of dreaming back at midnight? Lou Yue's words smashed into Queen Lou's heart like a hammer, breaking her heart, and she was completely afraid and panicked.
She stared at Lou Yue with bloodshot eyes, and smiled hatefully
"Shameless wild seeds, you really know all about them - it's so good to hide it!" With that, she walked to the chair on the side step by step and sat down, staring at the enemy in front of her fearlessly, and sneered
"Say a thousand things and ten thousand, you have listed so many crimes for this palace, but after all, you can't come up with a single piece of evidence to prove this palace. Therefore, even if the emperor wants to abolish me and kill me, you must also come up with evidence, this palace is not only your queen, but also the mother of the country! ”
"Okay, since the queen wants evidence, Weichen will ask for evidence for you!" Lou Yue waved his hand and asked Nanshan to bring up the witnesses who had been waiting outside for a long time.
