Chapter 91: Darkness Chen Cang (1)
A musty smell rushed into his nose, causing him to wake up. In front of her was the darkness that she couldn't see her fingers, and she was still a little confused, not knowing where she was, and only after thinking about it for a while did she remember what had happened.
At that time, the note sent by Wei Liangyuan wrote: "The concubine will have an argument with Ming outside the palace, quickly remove the guards, and the secret visit of Gonggong Bao is coming." ”
But I obviously saw Father-in-law Bao, why did he suddenly fall unconscious?
Bao Gonggong is King Yan's person, and King Yan should not hurt her, so who is the person who threw her here? What happened in between?
Also, since Father-in-law Bao is going to enter the Hanzi Palace, and Xiaoxin is also in the lockdown period, it is inevitable that the two of them will meet. This is enough to prove that Wei Liangyuan and Xiaoxin are both the people who were inserted by the Baogong Public Security in the East Palace, or in other words, the people who were placed in the East Palace by King Yan.
Understand that the priority is to figure out where this is and how to get out. Weinong rubbed his eyebrows and began to try to adapt to the dark environment, wanting to stand up.
But before the man could stand up straight, his forehead had touched the roof, and he raised his hand and groped around, guessing that this was probably a secret passage, although it was spacious, but the height was not enough, and he had to bend down.
She tried to recall the experience of walking the rivers and lakes in the past, and guessed that this secret passage should have been built underground, otherwise it would not be so low. The musty smell of dampness in the air told her that it had been a place for a long time, but it was faintly mixed with a fragrance similar to that of osmanthus. Weinong, who boasted a keen sense of smell, followed the fragrance and searched around, and finally found a half-open food box, which contained three layers of pastries and water.
Now, Wei Nong didn't care if he was poisoned, so he dared to break open a piece of pastry and smell it. It's osmanthus brown sugar filling! The pastry that Wei Liangyuan gave her is also this filling! She hurriedly groped for the food box again, and it was also carved with peony flowers, similar to the one that Wei Liangyuan sent to the Hanzi Palace!
What does this matter have to do with Wei Liangyuan? King Yan had a stroke, Nie Xingyi seized power, Father-in-law Bao made a secret visit, and the bracelet......
Just as he was thinking about these clues, suddenly, something seemed to sound overhead. Wei Nong hurriedly gathered his mind and listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a faint voice. The voice is...... Queen Helian!
"The crown princess has been missing for four hours, and he still refuses to say?" Queen Helian asked coldly.
"No, my mouth is very hard. The personal palace maid named Xiaoxin also disappeared together. This is the voice of the crown prince Nie Xingyi.
"Humph! The king is really a good means! Queen Helian snorted coldly, then softened her voice and giggled: "Your Majesty, why don't you drink the medicine?" If it weren't for the crown princess and Bao's father-in-law feeding the medicine, wouldn't you want to drink it? ”
An old voice "babbled" a few times, as if in response to Queen Helian's question.
Hearing this, Wei Nong instantly understood that this was the secret passage of the Longqian Palace! To be exact, it is under the ground of King Yan's bedroom! Somewhere, the builder had set up a vent so that the people in the secret passage could hear the conversations in the dormitory.
Vaguely, Wei Nong knew who had brought her here.
At this moment, I heard Queen Helian say again: "What? Are you afraid that your concubine will poison you? In fact, look at you like this, you won't be able to live for a few days, so why drag everyone along? You are tired of living, and we are tired of serving. ”
"Queen Mother......" Nie Xingyi seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and whispered beside him: "You...... Don't talk to your father like that. ”
"Father?" Queen Helian sneered again: "At this time, I remembered the filial piety of my father and my son? Then you don't want this throne at all. ”
Nie Xingyi didn't say anything more.
Queen Helian turned to King Yan again and said: "In the past few months of your stroke, the concubines and the crown prince have worked hard to stabilize the court and appease the courtiers. Now that the tide is set, you can rest assured that you're going. ”
Later, Queen Helian lowered her voice and said something, and Weimin tried hard to hear it clearly, but the other party's voice was too low. She only knew that the queen's words must have stimulated King Yan, because the latter shouted even more, and his voice was full of anger and eagerness.
Queen Helian and Nie Xingyi didn't speak again, and King Yan shouted on his own for a long time, probably knowing that he was powerless, and his voice finally gradually lowered. Only then did Queen Helian sigh: "The concubine knows that you have two people in mind, the marquis and the crown princess. Rest assured, the concubine will take care of these two for you. ”
"Do you remember how you treated your siblings when you ascended the throne?" Queen Helian's tone was quite creepy: "The concubine remembers that one of your three younger brothers was shot by you, one was imprisoned for life, and the other died in exile...... The prince looks after you in everything, and he will certainly follow your example in the way he treats his brothers. ”
King Yan called out again, this time, as if even the bed was churning.
Queen Helian didn't see this, and deliberately laughed and said, "However, I heard that Jinghou is suffering from a recurrence of his old disease, will the imperial doctor accidentally miss when treating him?" After all, he is with your father and son, you can rest assured, the concubine will definitely give him supreme mourning after him. ”
When Queen Helian said this, she must have been unable to listen to even Nie Xingyi, so she suddenly changed her tone and scolded Nie Xingyi: "What kind of expression are you?" If you don't dare to listen, go out! ”
"Queen Mother......" Nie Xingyi said with difficulty: "You are like this, the ministers don't know you anymore." ”
"I've endured it too long!" Queen Helian's voice suddenly rose and almost distorted, "What are you retreating from at this time? Get out! ”
Nie Xingyi seemed to be silent and didn't move, and then he snorted again. Wei Nong guessed that he should have been slapped, in short, there was a sound of staggering footsteps above her head - Nie Xingyi left.
"You have delayed the concubine for a lifetime, but at the end of the day, only the concubine will die in front of your bed, which is really ironic!" Queen Helian finally burst out laughing without hesitation, and the poignant meaning of the laughter pierced through the layers of floor tiles and repelled into her ears, making her shiver.
This woman has to hate the person next to her pillow so much to laugh so rampantly and poignantly!
Wei Min moved his stiff neck, changed his position and sat on the ground, patiently waiting for Queen Helian to finish venting her emotions. She knew very well that in addition to this secret passage, the Longqian Palace must have been under the control of this woman. In other words, Queen Helian will not let King Yan live past tonight, maybe tomorrow morning, Nie Xingyi will succeed to the throne under the "support" of the ministers.
I don't know how long Queen Helian laughed, but finally, Wei Nong heard her say again: "As for the crown princess, you don't have to worry about it." She is the 'queen's destiny', and the prince likes it, how can the concubine be willing to kill her? Even for the sake of the eldest princess and the face of the marquis, the concubines have to keep her, right? ”
"But it's a pity, the concubine wants to keep her, but you don't give the concubine a chance. I don't know where Father-in-law Bao hid her, and the concubines can't find it. Queen Helian "tsk" twice, you have such a loyal servant by your side, and you will definitely not be lonely on the Huangquan Road.
After speaking, she suddenly said in a deep voice: "Come on, bring Jin Tianbao up!" ”
Married into the Yan Palace for nearly a year, I have seen Bao's father-in-law dozens of times, and Wei Nong only learned today that his name is Jin Tianbao. And she would rather never know.
She heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and the sound of iron chains rubbing against the floor tiles, and it was conceivable that Father-in-law Bao must have been tortured and dragged in.
"Helian Biyue! You slut! Bao Gonggong hissed and scolded. Wei Nong could tell that he was exhausted, and time must be running out.
"Why did my father-in-law say this? This palace treats you well, but at this juncture, you went against this palace and hid the princess. Queen Helian asked lightly.
Father-in-law Bao laughed "hehe", extremely sarcastic: "I am the king's person, even if I don't do anything, you won't let me live!" ”
Queen Helian did not answer his words, but asked again in a cold voice: "Where is the crown princess?" ”
"Dead." Wei Nong heard Bao Gonggong reply.
"No way. The king values the crown princess so much, why are you willing to let her die? Queen Helian didn't know what she was doing, she didn't move for a long time, and her heart was already so nervous that she asked again, "What did you tell her?" Also, what about Xiaoxin? ”
"Didn't you confine the crown princess in the East Palace just to hide from her? I don't want you to do it! Father-in-law Bao took a sip and said hatefully: "Since I can't tell her the truth, I just kill her, so that your son will not be the emperor for the rest of his life!" ”
"The son of this palace should not be the emperor, is it up to you?"
"Helian Biyue, if you do such a devastating thing, you will definitely not be good......"
Bao Gonggong's voice came to an abrupt end, and the last word "death" could not be spoken. Immediately, something fell heavily on the floor tiles, and the sound of iron chains rubbing against each other made Wei Thick feel pain and cold.
"You know that this palace is the most irritating...... Queen Helian seemed to be talking to the corpse of her father-in-law, and then turned to King Yan on the dragon couch, and smiled calmly: "Your Majesty, the concubine has fulfilled Jin Tianbao's loyalty, send him to go first." On Huangquan Road, you don't have to worry about no one to serve you. ”
King Yan on the couch must have been desperate and didn't respond. But Wei Nong knew that he was still alive.
"Your will and concubine have been prepared on your behalf, and the imperial seal has also been stamped, and you only need a hand clay to take effect." Queen Helian immediately read the contents of the 'will', and there was a squirming sound in the hall for a while, it should be that she was forcing King Yan to press the mud.
Wei Nong heard the content of the will intermittently, in addition to passing it on to Nie Xingyi, he also stripped Nie Xingji's military power, canonized several ministers who took care of his life, and suppressed some important ministers, especially the military generals, the liquidation of liquidation, and the reappointment of reappointment.
