The cold and cold floor tiles pressed against the knee bones, the silent and silent atmosphere pressed against the heavenly spirit, a shiver ran through Zhao Gui's backbone, and the corners of his eyes rose uncontrollably, and he came into contact with the dark eyes of Zhan Gonggong, so he fell more and more prostrate - even if there was no one in the seat.

Far away, there seemed to be crutches on the ground, with a sound, in an orderly manner.

Zhao Gui's forehead was pressed against the brick, but he still saw the gold embroidered cloud pattern on the brocade skirt, and trembled: "The slave knocks on the Empress Dowager Jin An." ”

Suddenly, an indescribable pressure was like the top of Mount Tai, and cold sweat suddenly wet the placket.

The silence was not long, but Zhao Gui felt that it was difficult to support.

This person just can't be weak-hearted.

He used to wait beside Concubine De, of course, he had seen the Empress Dowager, and he had never been so frightened.

The palace people are all benevolent and kind, and they will never be guilty for no reason, Zhao Gui didn't think that the Empress Dowager was so feared before, but today he just came out of the court, and he was blocked by Gonggong Zhan, and he came to Ci'an Palace with him, which is really ...... At the moment, he is a waiter of the Bell and Drum Division, and in theory, he can't even cross the threshold of Ci'an Palace.

"This is Zhao Gui?"

The Empress Dowager finally spoke, obviously asking Gonggong Zhan.

Zhao Gui had already raised his breath, and as soon as Zhan Gonggong's voice fell, he hurriedly replied: "Slave Zhao Gui listens to the words." ”

The drum was beating in his heart, and he listened to a sentence that was not salty or light: "You still remember the favor of the Yang family." ”

Zhao Gui's whole person almost didn't collapse on the ground.

For a while, there was only the sound of his own teeth "gurgling".

"Why, you have the courage to act, but you don't have the courage to admit it?"

"Slaves deserve death!" Zhao Gui easily held back a sentence.

He has always remembered the grace of Concubine De, if it weren't for Concubine De, he would have been sentenced to death with a rod by the great eunuch, and Concubine De has always treated him leniently...... Niangniang was given to die, the Yang family was destroyed, he couldn't help with these things, but he heard that the daughter of the Concubine De clan was a slave in the court, and it was also a good retribution to take care of it.

Siniang asked him to talk from the Qin family, which was to rehabilitate the Yang family, Zhao Gui knew that this matter was not trivial, but he really couldn't forget Concubine De's protection for many years, thinking that the Qin family had become a thorn in the side of the Empress Dowager, if it was eradicated, it would also be regarded as Concubine De's blood hatred, so he agreed.

The Empress Dowager's direct questioning must not be quibbled.

But if Siniang is involved......

How can she be worthy of Concubine De's kindness for many years, but in the end, Niangniang didn't involve them as palace people!

"The slave deserves death, I dare not ask for forgiveness, everything is the slave maid to repay the grace of Concubine De's shelter back then, I feel that it was the Qin family who framed it, and it was only then that I deliberately approached Qin Qiniang and wanted to find out the truth." Zhao Gui gritted his teeth.

"Okay, there is no need to cover it up, the mourning family will not investigate the crimes of the daughters of the Yang family." The Empress Dowager was crisp and neat.

Zhao Gui was stunned.

"Say, what is Yang Siniang's purpose?" The Empress Dowager obviously has little patience: "If you tell the truth, the mourning family may be able to let the Yang family get their wish." ”

"!" Zhao Gui couldn't help but raise his head, and as soon as he touched the indifferent gaze of the Empress Dowager, he was dissipated, and then prostrate again: "Niangniang is really ......"

Zhan Gonggong on the side frowned, and said in his heart that this Zhao Gui really can't speak, no wonder he misses Concubine De, if there is no Concubine De's protection, I am afraid that he will not be able to live in this court, but when he opened his eyes, he saw the corners of the Queen Mother's lips stretched, and he knew that Zhao Gui's nature was appreciated by the mother, and he hurriedly turned around: "The mother is full of words, but it is not as good as the truth." ”

The Empress Dowager also really admires loyal and righteous people, this Zhao Gui was so frightened that he was at a loss, and he still knew how to defend the Yang family, which showed that he was not greedy for profit.

I listened to Zhao Gui's invitation: "Siniang deliberately made things difficult for Qin Qiniang, and let the slave maid secretly protect her, in order to let Qin Qiniang relax her guard, the Qin family is now helpless and bullied in the service court, and if you want to get out of danger, you can only rely on the slave and maid to help...... Siniang just wanted the slave maid to tell the truth about the Qin family, and wanted to find out whether the poisoning case of the two kings was related to the Qin family. ”

In fact, Yang Siniang had already been advised by her sister and the fifth princess, knowing that her brother-in-law was the princess Fu and not the king of Fu, and knew that this case was framed by today's son, but she couldn't say it clearly, so she targeted the Qin family.

Poisoning Princess Fu is an attempt, only this, the Yang family will not be punished by death, the fifth princess knew that the disaster was coming, so she told her cousin the truth, and the intention was also in case the female dependents escaped with their lives, and they might be able to be rehabilitated in the future.

The Empress Dowager knew about this, when the five princes were forced to be helpless, admitting that they wanted to kill Princess Fu, the first emperor was furious, and decided that the poisoning of King Fu and King Qing was indeed the five princes' intention to seize the prince before committing evil acts, so as to close the case, although the son was not executed, but angered the Concubine De family.

Later, knowing that the five princes did not harm the two kings, and King Qing was the real culprit behind the scenes, the first emperor had remorse.

But now succeeded to the throne, did not let go of the five princes and their couple, and even the young son who had just been born was also eradicated by Jinshang.

Many of the Yang family's convicted female dependents are not pardoned, some are not in the court, some are official slaves, and many are even sold to the fence.

Yang Siniang is a person who understands the inside story, and is sure that the Qin family is involved in the old case, and Qin Ziruo is known as the "female Zhuge ", and Yang Siniang has also heard about it.

Even if you can't pull the Son of Heaven off the dragon chair, you have to let the Qin family pay for the lives of many clansmen of the Yang family who have suffered disasters in different places!

"So, is there a leak from the Qin Clan?" The Empress Dowager asked again.

Zhao Gui was extremely frustrated: "The slave is useless, and she can't complete Siniang's entrustment, so the Qin family ...... Although she was unwilling, she always refused to say more, and only lured the slave and maid, but hoped that the slave and maid could deliver the message to the Qianming Palace, so that the saint could save her from the sea of suffering......"

With a "bang", it was the Queen Mother who smashed the cane in her hand into the case.

Zhao Gui almost didn't bite his tongue, and he didn't realize that his words were to push the girl Ziruo to another level to the land of no return.

"Looking for the Holy One? Isn't the queen her own sister?! Even if it is useless, if you confess, the Qin family will not be humiliated in every way. Although she couldn't help but be angry, the Empress Dowager's tone was still quite calm, but it seemed more and more cold.

Zhao Gui suddenly had an idea: "Yes, the slave maid also has doubts, because the slave maid is humble, and there is no chance to face the saint at all, it is easier to send a message to Kunren Palace, but the Qin family claims...... She doesn't want to involve the queen, and at present, only His Majesty can help her completely get out of her misery and enjoy glory again......"

This is not Zhao Gui's nonsense, in fact, Qin Ziruo's original words are that she is a daughter of the clan, and the queen is in a difficult situation at this time...... However, Zhao Gui added "enjoy the glory again", then it is to point out that Qin Zi has the intention of "seduction".

hit the crooked right, and disgusted the queen mother again.

But Miss Qin is really "innocent" - who made her own popularity unusual, the only queen in the palace who feels sorry for her is difficult to protect herself, and the family has made enemies everywhere, no wonder others fall into the well at every opportunity.

"Female Zhuge " has reached this point, and I thought that the Son of Heaven could be very good at her, thinking of her wisdom, if Qin Zi of the harem or something didn't have extravagant thoughts, the approximate purpose was to transfer to the Qianming Palace and give advice next to the Son of Heaven, at least no one could be easily humiliated, and there would be a chance for the salted fish to turn over in the future and be given a marriage to Quan Xun or something.

Unexpectedly, he was buried by an inconspicuous eunuch in a few words, and his "splendid future" was ruined.

Qin Ziruo's coveting of King Chu had already made the Empress Dowager feel deeply disgusted, not to mention her current intention to seduce her own grandson!

"Zhao Gui, the mourning family gives you two choices, either a dead end, the mourning family fulfills your kindness to the Yang family, or, whatever the mourning family says, you can do it, don't think about reporting to Yang Siniang, the mourning family can control the relationship between you, and your words and deeds with her can't escape the eyes and ears of the mourning family! However, the mourning family also promised first, as long as you obey the order, not to mention anything else, the daughters of the Yang family, the mourning family will give them a chance in the future, at least not to suffer in the military court, and to marry civilians. ”

Zhao Gui was originally disheartened when he heard the word "dead end", and when he heard the words behind him, it took him a long time to react, as long as his brain was not kicked by a donkey, he would not choose the dead end in front of him, so he naturally promised to die for the empress dowager.

——

Regarding what happened to Miss Ziruo, Yijing was completely unaware of it.

Even she didn't pay attention to whether Qin Ziruo was dead or alive at the moment.

Soon came the Mid-Autumn Festival in the second year of Yuanhe, early in the morning, Yijing accompanied the old princess into the palace to participate in the morning greetings - this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, although there was a banquet in the palace, it was only noon during the day, and the next day let the women return to their homes, even the clan did not stay long, except for the Liao King who returned from the domain, the Queen Mother only left Yichen with a pair of children in the palace to enjoy the moon.

There are few people in the Xianwang Mansion, but because the old princess and Yu Feng have improved, the Mansion is full of joy.

In order to take care of Yu Feng, this year's family banquet was simply set up in Guan Sui Yuan, in addition to the family of four, Wei Ran, Jiang Han brothers and sisters, and Gu Qiuyue were specially invited to congratulate him.

The original ancestral home of the Gu family was in southern Zhejiang, as Gu Qiuyue became more and more trusted by the royal government, the family simply handed over all the business affairs in Kyoto to him to take care of, the Gu family's parents returned to their ancestral home this year, Gu Qiuyue was only a shadow, and the old princess liked him very much, so she simply invited him to join him.

There was laughter and laughter at the banquet, but it was just that Yu Feng was "supervised" by many people, not to mention the wine, and he was not even allowed to drink a sip of tea, so he had to sip white fungus sweet soup with a sad face, and it should be a "substitute for wine".

Since Gu Qiuyue sat down, his fiancée Xia Ke naturally couldn't stand beside him, and without waiting for Yijing's instructions, Lao Wang pulled Xia Ke to sit next to Gu Qiuyue, and said that they were scheduled to get married in the spring of next year, and immediately gave Xia Ke a generous amount of makeup, which turned out to be a villa located in the suburbs.

After the dinner was dispersed, Yijing ordered to prepare a song and dance to help the flower garden water pavilion to enjoy the moon, but because of the cold night, Yu Feng could not sit for a long time, and was forced by everyone to "drink order" back to the house to rest early, really depressed, fortunately, you are not so unkind, did not deliberately trip the princess in one place, when Yijing quietly "slipped out", everyone ignored it.

Yijing hadn't returned to Guan Sui Yuan yet, and saw the bell trotting over - it turned out that Qiushuang had taken a leave of absence on this day, reminding everyone that she would have results after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's clear sky.

The beautiful scenery was expected to be clear and light with the wind.

In the clear snow and reeds, Yu Feng was waiting for the soup, he was sitting by the window, dressed in regular clothes, the thin cover was dyed with moonlight lights, when he saw the beautiful scenery inside, he seemed to be not surprised, but his smile was unconsciously deepened.

"You still take medicine, you can't use tea!" But the princess was furious.

"I'll give you a drink." Yu Feng extinguished someone's vigorous anger with a single sentence.

The two sat side by side in a window, looking at the same scenery and the same moonlight.

The beautiful scenery babbled about an interesting story between Wei Ran and Jiang Wei just now, and talked about autumn frost: "The person in her heart is really a clear sky, but I don't know if the clear sky can be put down." ”

Thinking of Qiuyue for a while, his expression was quite compassionate.

"There is no curfew outside tonight, it should be lively, but unfortunately I can't accompany you to enjoy the Lantern River." Yu Feng quietly changed the subject.

"Every year, there is nothing to reward, and we will have time in the future." The princess was also relieved.

But the princess couldn't taste this tea in the end.

The soup was less than three boils, Xia Ke hurriedly came, there was an urgent edict in the palace, King Xian had already entered the palace, and Wei Ran also hurriedly went to find out what happened.

Yijing knew that the situation had changed abruptly, but he still didn't let Yu Feng bother, and rushed to the front court to see his subordinates.

But when she learned what had happened, she also knew that she couldn't hide it.

When he came back, his eyes were red, and his whole person seemed to be shrouded in anger.

Chanjuan is bright outside the window.

A full moon, the flowers and leaves under the moon are fragrant.

"Naturalization is lost, and it is captured by the Northern Plains! Slaughter the city! The dead and wounded are only the people, no less than 50,000! When Yijing said this, he was already gritting his teeth.
