settled the second prince to sleep, and it was time for the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao to go to bed. Bayi Chinese ??. Xie Ning just woke up, and he had just eaten a full stomach, so he was only suitable for walking around at this time, and he was afraid that he would accumulate food if he wanted to go to bed and sleep peacefully.

The emperor pulled up her sleeve and saw that her elbow was also bruised.

"How did you get this?" When Xie Ning was eating just now, he caught a glimpse of his sleeve slipping down, and he felt something strange at the time, but now he saw that it was really injured.

Shainin pulled down his sleeve a little: "I don't remember, it was messy at the time, and I didn't feel pain." ”

The emperor lightly pressed on the piece: "Does it hurt now?" ”

"It's a little sore, it's fine if you don't touch it." Xie Ning asked seriously: "The emperor is not injured, right?" What's the deal with that glass of wine? The concubine couldn't see it really through the screen, and her frightened heart was about to jump out. ”

"The wine is really drunk, but the wine has already been replaced." The emperor said, "What was presented was just a glass of ordinary water and wine. Ming Shou didn't know how to control it at all, she was blindly arrogant, and even her henchmen might not be really used by her, but she couldn't get off the boat, so she had to follow a road to the dark. ”

So the emperor gave him a little chance, and those people tried their best to seize it. If it's just one person's life, it may not be worth fighting like this. However, rebellion is a first-class crime in the criminal law, and even relatives will be punished, and they will not be pardoned in case of forgiveness. Even if these people are not afraid of death, they always have to think about their loved ones.

For the sake of Princess Mingshou's ambition alone, she was widely implicated and harmed so many people, even if the emperor wanted to cure Mingshou for the crime of death, Xie Ning also felt that it was right.

Xie Ning was very curious, anyway, now that the situation is clear, there is no need to hide it, so Xie Ning simply asked directly: "I don't know how long Princess Mingshou has been planning for this matter?" ”

Her curiosity The emperor understood, and took her slowly: "If it is a plan to rebel, it is from the death of the Queen Mother." But her heart has been there since she was a child. ”

"Playing small?" Shainin was even more curious.

"When I was just seven or eight years old, there was a time when the queen mother's brother, Uncle Guo's birthday, I went with Ming Shou to celebrate his birthday, and when I arrived at Uncle Guo's house, Ming Shou secretly changed into men's clothes and slipped out on the street. At that time, there was a mess in Uncle Guo's house, and it was not easy to hide the news and get the person back, Uncle Guo said that she should not be so rash as a girl's family, Meng Lang said that she didn't accept this, what's wrong with the girl? Why does she have to follow so many rules because she is a girl, and she has to be locked in the house every day and can't do anything? Why doesn't she have the possibility of inheriting the throne? Is there a law in the world that says a woman cannot be an emperor? ”

This made Xie Ning frightened.

This kind of thing is something that Princess Mingshou can dare to think and say, and it is impossible to change anyone else.

"Is she going to be then?"

"When the first emperor was still there, the queen mother and Ming Shou still had some scruples. After the death of the first emperor, the queen mother's anger that she had been holding back for many years suddenly came out. She disposed of all the changes and names of the first few hundred women in the palace who had been favored by the previous emperor. Some said they were martyred, while others were sent to the nunnery. In fact, wherever those women were willing to be buried, they were all strangled by the Queen Mother. Those who were sent to the nunnery were driven out like cattle without even a single garment, but with one hand tied unclothed, and strung together like cattle......"

Shainin didn't know these things, she clutched the emperor's sleeve tightly, and her chest was as cold as being filled with ice water.

"I saw that Ming Shou asked people to collect the jewelry accumulated by those women, and played with them, and there were blood stains that had not been wiped off in the gaps of one of the thin tooth plates and gold armbands."

"When the Queen Mother was still there, Ming Shou did everything he could and wanted to do, and I was not on a firm foothold at that time, so I had to take a lot of effort to restrain her. In those two years, everyone felt that I was a nest, and at that time, in addition to not being able to win Zhang Jiheng's mind, Mingshou could be said to be omnipotent in other things, and of course there was no plan to rebel. She also has the things that the emperor has, and she also has what the emperor doesn't have, so this emperor doesn't have much meaning. ”

"After the Queen Mother is gone, I naturally can't tolerate her misdeeds as before, her life is getting more and more unpleasant, and she wants to overturn me and seize the power. In fact, in what she said, I also agree with it. In the position of the emperor, there are capable people living in it, and she always feels that she is suffering from the identity of a woman, otherwise there will be nothing to do with this throne. ”

It is not bad to say that there are capable people, although it is a little rebellious, but Xie Ning has read history books and knows what it is like every time the dynasty is changed. The problem is that Princess Mingshou doesn't have what she can do. Just look at the scene she made today, is this the result of several years of planning?

However, the emperor has probably been planning for today for a long time, and the two of them have too many brains and scheming, and they are really not wronged at all.

Tonight, Jinfeng Garden is loose outside and tight inside, Princess Mingshou has fallen, and the people who have been implicated have been rushed to confiscate and lock for interrogation, and the emperor must have already arranged it to have such leisure to gossip with her here.

Bai Hongqi stepped forward lightly and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Commander Chang is here to report, Princess Mingshou said that she has something important to discuss with the emperor." ”

Xie Ning consciously wanted to get up and avoid it, and the emperor took her hand: "Don't avoid it, what important thing can she discuss with me?" ”

In his words, he was very disdainful of Princess Mingshou.

"It's okay, I can't sleep right now, so let's go and see her."

Shainin was taken aback: "She's in the garden?" ”

"Exactly, it's not that far away." The emperor stood up, and Xie Ning hurriedly asked, "Are the concubines also going with you?" ”

"If you're tired, rest, if you're not tired, go with me."

Xie Ning understood the meaning of the emperor's words.

She has a natural rejection of this kind of thing, but since she has become a person in the palace, it is impossible to stay out of it, let alone blindfold herself and pretend that she has not seen anything.

"Then the concubine will go with the emperor."

It's been this hour, the emperor pulled her into the sedan chair together, Xie Ning thought about it, it was quite dark, and there would be no such a small mistake as staring at her, so he rode with the emperor.

Speaking of Jinfengyuan, she has been here for a while, but she has been busy and can't get out, except for going out to swim in the lake once, she has never been out of Qingbi Hall to visit, and she has not even visited Lan Huixuan, where Princess Mingwei lives. At this time, the sedan chair came out of Qingbi Hall and walked to the northeast. The northeast corner of the garden is low-lying, and the humidity is heavier than in other places, and there is only one pavilion called Fuirimatsu, which you can tell what the situation is like when you hear the name.

The pine waves are gusting, if you come during the day, it must be very refreshing and pleasant, but in the middle of the night, the pine forest covers the moonlight densely, walking in such an unpredictable darkness, but in the summer it makes people feel a burst of cold.

The emperor said that the place is not far away, but it is indeed not far. The sedan chair stopped after turning two corners, and the emperor got out of the sedan chair first, stretched out his hand to help her. Shainin didn't wear a long skirt that dragged the floor, and tied a light and narrow sandwich plain satin cloak, which could hold down the wind.

In front of him is not the prison that Xie Ning thinks, but an ordinary courtyard, which does not look like a place to live, but rather a place like a warehouse and a warehouse.

"This is the lumber warehouse behind the wind pine."

Sure enough, it's a warehouse.

Most of the timber to be stored is large, and this warehouse is much taller and wider than ordinary warehouses. It was dark and he couldn't see anything more clearly, so Xie Ning walked into the gate with the emperor.

Naturally, there is a smell of wood in the wood warehouse, as well as the lacquer oil on the wood, and the fireproof things in the warehouse, which are a little choking together.

Xie Ning walked forward with the emperor, and there was a row of low houses behind the warehouse, which should be the place where the guards and workers lived.

The guard next to him stepped forward and opened the door, the emperor stepped in, and Xie Ning followed.

The inside of the house is indeed not large, a main room, and there is a side room on the left and right. Princess Mingshou stayed in the side room on the right, with iron shackles on her hands and feet, which were connected to the wall. She could move around this half room, but she couldn't go any further.

If he didn't know her identity, Shainin really wouldn't have recognized it.

Princess Mingshou has only seen so many times or three times, and she has never said anything. Now the fat powder on the face of this person in the room has been washed away, one face is a little swollen and deformed, I don't know what cut off most of the head, the rest is half scattered and half bundled, and there is a dress on the body that does not fit very well, and if you look closely, it should be worn by a eunuch.

Xie Ning guessed that Princess Mingshou's clothes were already very torn when she was arrested, and it was not easy for her to find a replacement dress after bringing it here, it was not easy for her to wear clothes of the average size of her physique, and the clothes of the eunuchs were always larger and better than those of the palace maids, so she could be put aside for the time being.

Seeing the emperor coming in, she also raised her head, and then saw Xie Ning also following behind, Princess Mingshou's eyes, which were already squeezed into a slit, narrowed a little more.

"Why did you bring her here?"

It's all come to this point, and I actually speak with a domineering tone. Xie Ning couldn't cure her anger, so the emperor sat down on the wooden chair against the north wall and motioned for Xie Ning to sit too.

Princess Mingshou swallowed hard. She also knew that this Xie Jieyu was the emperor's favorite in the past two years, it was said that the color was good, and she had a flattering method that others couldn't learn, so she brought the emperor tightly together, and looked at the six palaces of Fandai who had lost their color.

Since the emperor himself is not afraid of this kind of private matter being known, what else does Ming Shou care?

Maybe the emperor thinks about it afterwards and thinks that this kind of trick is known by one more person, but he has a thorn in his heart for this Xie Jieyu, and he may kill her mouth.

"Then let's stop talking darkly. I'm not as scheming as you are, and I'm here now. But I also know many things that the emperor doesn't know, and if the emperor agrees to my three conditions, I will tell these things as they are. What does the emperor think? ”
