Chapter 646: Hua Zhang's miserable end
Seeing that the queen really stopped struggling, and just looked at the knife in a daze, the guards were all relieved. The man with the knife was just about to persuade him, but suddenly saw the queen shouting "presumptuous" with a hideous face, and he hit the knife in his hand directly with his bare hands!
The guards were so frightened that they hurriedly drew their knives back, but it was too late. The queen's hand quickly fell on his knife, and her wrist slashed at the blade! His knife also fell to the ground in fright with the queen's too sudden move. With the sound of the long knife falling on the smooth corridor of Yongxiang, the queen's wrist was also covered with bright red blood. Blood flowed down the Empress's wrist and landed on the cold ground shrouded in the lanterns of the Clear Cold Palace.
The guards were all frightened, and they didn't even have the heart to look at each other for a while, they just stood in a daze, and they didn't come back to their senses.
The queen didn't feel any pain, but just shouted, "Get out of the ......" and violently pushed away the two stunned guards, and ran forward like crazy.
The two guards were originally stunned, but they were pushed by the queen, one stumbled, and almost fell. But he also came back to his senses suddenly, and exclaimed: "Niangniang......" hurriedly chased after him.
The other guards were also frightened by the queen's shouts, and hurried forward.
The queen didn't know where she suddenly got the strength to run faster than these guards. And because he seized the opportunity, he ran at this time and left the guards behind for a long distance. The guards chased after the queen, shouting as they chased, "Please stop, Niangniang......"
Although it is already a child's time, tonight's Weiyang Palace is still only like a quiet day, and there is not much sense of deep night, and there are still some palace people walking in pairs and threes walking in Yongxiang. Seeing a woman in a plain bedrobe and a disheveled hair running towards her, she was so frightened that she panicked, and it was certain that she was busy bypassing this strange person and running forward.
The palace people ran chaotically, although there were only three or two occasionally, and the number was not large, but the chaos caused still caused trouble for the chasing guards. In addition, if you take a small road, the distance between Yilan Palace and Kunning Palace is not too far, so that the guards have been chasing the queen, and they have not caught up with her when they reach the gate of Yilan Palace. I had to keep shouting and reminding: "It's late at night, don't crash into the dragon body......"
"Your Majesty......" The queen cried loudly, and rushed straight to the courtyard of Yilan Palace, completely ignoring the guards outside Yilan Palace.
On weekdays, because in the harem, there are guards outside the palace to guard against it, and there are no other guards outside the palace courtyard of Yilan Palace, but today the emperor is staying here, and it is such a situation, and the guards outside the palace gate are indispensable. Seeing a mad woman shouting madly for Your Majesty, how could she just rush in?
Because I haven't seen the identity of the queen yet, seeing her so crazy, I think it's just a lady who is not favored and even offended His Majesty. You're welcome, the two guards on the edge of the door directly grabbed the queen left and right, and threw the queen out of the palace gate.
At this time, even though the queen didn't know where the evil sect came from was very strong, she couldn't resist the two guards falling hard, and was directly thrown out a few feet away, and her back hit the vermilion wall of Yongxiang.
"Poof......" was shocked by such a violent impact, and the queen spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, the guards were a little frightened. Although they did use their strength, they could only throw her out, even if they hit the palace wall, but after sliding out for a distance, how could it be so serious?
"Niangniang......" The guards outside the Kunning Palace had already caught up, and they were all in a hurry to help the queen up.
Although the appearance is good-looking, it seems that he cares about the queen, but in fact, he wants to take the opportunity to take the queen away. How could the queen let them hold on to herself? Pushed them away violently and got up, and rushed towards the Yilan Palace again.
These imperial guards in Yilan Palace, seeing that it was the person who was sent to Kunning Palace, took a closer look with the light of the palace lamp, and they all saw that this person was indeed the queen's mother. But even so, she can't rush in! And not because of the middle of the night, just talking about the queen's tuberculosis must not let her collide with the emperor.
Knowing that this person was the queen, the guards didn't dare to breathe, they all secretly held their breath, and directly blocked the queen's way with a long knife.
The sword queen without a scabbard is not afraid, how can she be afraid of this? He lunged forward, thinking that he would be able to rush into the yard by pushing the knives away. But these guards have been prepared for a long time, how can they be as easy to deal with as those outside the Kunning Palace? The queen rushed forward with all her might, but she could not match the strength of these guards.
The guard closest to the door was a very clever one, and before the captain could open his mouth and order people to go in and tell the emperor, he had already turned around and ran towards the door of the house. Are you kidding? Tuberculosis is no joke! Now that the queen is struggling with them like this, what if she infects them? It is difficult for someone who is not near the door to escape, but he has this opportunity, how can he not take advantage of it?
It's not just the guards who found the opportunity to escape first who are afraid, but none of those who stop the queen are not afraid. I could only try my best to hold my breath, and when I couldn't help it, I turned my head over to catch my breath.
Where can the queen take care of the dislike of these people? Even if you can see it, you can't care about it at all. Just struggling and shouting, "Your Majesty...... You can't kill Lin'er...... You can't kill Lin'er, Your Majesty......"
The more the queen spoke, the more frightened the guards became, and they all wanted to cover their mouths and noses with strips of cloth.
In Yilan Palace, the queen was gently pinching the emperor's back. As soon as the emperor fell asleep in a daze, he heard the noise outside. After struggling for a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "Go and tell her, let her go back to the palace and think about it, I won't kill her, but I won't see her either." ”
The imperial concubine got up in response, and heard someone at the door say anxiously: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the queen is shouting at the gate of the courtyard to see Your Majesty, and her subordinates can't stop it!" ”
Shen Yaomin shouted: "I know, this palace will go and persuade Niangniang to go back." ”
The emperor reminded: "Don't go to her, if you are far away, just drive her away." ”
"Yes." The imperial concubine said.
The emperor was still a little worried, so he stopped the imperial concubine and said, "Don't go out, just let someone come and bring my words to her." ”
The imperial concubine said softly: "The imperial doctors and Chen'er have been arguing here for so long, Your Majesty has been able to sleep peacefully for a while, but there is such a noise outside the palace." If you just let the guards convey it on your behalf, I'm afraid that the mother will not go back. Only if the concubine is a wicked person, says something not very good, and makes the mother die to see His Majesty's heart of intercession, can the mother go back. ”
The emperor felt that this was indeed the case, and if it wasn't for someone powerful to tell her, I was afraid that she would continue to plead, and he wouldn't give up until he came out to respond in person. So he had to say: "Be careful, just at the door, don't go far." ”
"Yes." The imperial concubine answered, and walked quickly to the door.
Pushed open the door and shouted directly to the door: "Queen Mother......"
The queen saw that someone had come out, and the person who came out was still Shen Yaomin, how could she be so unscrupulous? Standing up straight, he said in a deep voice: "This palace wants to see Your Majesty, why is the imperial concubine so troublesome?" Why don't you quickly let these lackeys in your palace step down? ”
In fact, she also knew that these people who stopped her were not Shen Yaomin's people, but the emperor's people. And letting Shen Yaomin come out to send her away must be the emperor's idea. But in the bottom of my heart, there is still some hope, hoping that Shen Yaomin will come out to show off without authorization while the emperor is asleep.
The imperial concubine smiled: "Why did Niangniang say that? These adults are all imperial guards, and they are His Majesty's people, isn't it clear to Niangniang? It was late at night, and as soon as His Majesty fell asleep, he heard the mother shouting so much outside, how could he not be angry? But Your Majesty is lenient, and deliberately asked the concubine to come out and tell Niangniang, so that Niangniang can relax her heart, Your Majesty will never want your life. But because of the affairs of King Yong, Your Majesty will never see you again. ”
"Niangniang, tonight's matter, I'm afraid that everyone in the harem will listen to Xin'er, the identity of the queen is still there, but don't lose your respect." The imperial concubine said and saluted the queen, quite respectfully.
The queen said coldly: "This palace wants to see Your Majesty, why use you, a slut, to show off in front of this palace?" Even if these words are true, this palace will listen to His Majesty face to face! The affairs between this palace and His Majesty's husband and wife, how can you allow your lowly concubine to interfere? ”
On weekdays, the queen treats the imperial concubine very kindly, and the imperial concubine treats the queen with respect, even though they hate each other in their hearts and don't like each other, but they can still hide it, on the surface they are harmonious, and they look like a humble concubine and a charitable mother. Today's outburst may seem a little sudden to outsiders.
But between these two people, they both know that this is not abrupt. Today, the winner is already divided. Although the queen still has a high position, she is destined to never turn over in front of the emperor. No matter how disrespectful the imperial concubine is to her at this time, as long as she looks back and says that it is because of the Mengshan incident that she is unhappy for the emperor, no one can criticize her for anything. In the future, in the harem of this wind country, it is destined to be the imperial concubine as the honorable land; In the court, it is destined to be respected by Prince Chen.
The emperor has ordered Li Zhonggui to draw up the holy decree of Prince Lichen as the crown prince, and tomorrow morning, it will be announced to the world. When they arrived, the status of their mother and son was even more unshakable. Coupled with the previous explanation with the emperor, at this time, what is she afraid of? When it's time to breathe, be sure to let it out. At this last minute, she didn't want to be a benevolent person. What she has to do is fall into the ground.
The queen knows that she can no longer fight the imperial concubine, and she also knows that her husband and wife relationship with the emperor is exhausted, and it is useless to pretend to be lenient and dignified, and she is in an anxious mood, how can she take into account her attitude towards the imperial concubine? How to come naturally! If someone hadn't stopped her, she really wanted to rush forward and scratch this slut's face directly!
"It is true that the concubine is a lowly concubine, but the concubine does not have a son who kills his father and rebels, does not have a mother who is bent on rebellion, and does not have tuberculosis and does not stay well, and has to come to see His Majesty regardless of His Majesty's safety. Judging from these alone, the concubine is worthy of passing on His Majesty's words......"
"Niangniang, Your Majesty's meaning is already very clear, if you are willing to go back obediently, Your Majesty will not give you death because of the love between husband and wife, and for the face of the whole royal family. But if you are so ignorant, it will not be your father, your brother, your nephew, or your son, or your own ...... that will die."
"Niangniang, it's better to be alive than dead. Niangniang, you better go back quickly, otherwise it will be disgraceful if you are hacked to death by the guards with knives......"
