Chapter 276: People's hearts are floating and estranged (4)
Emperor Tianzhu suddenly appeared in the Palace of Mercy and Grace, which was not in tonight's plan, and it also surprised Cen Jiang. After all, as the emperor and the queen mother, the emperor should avoid suspicion; Even if he doesn't avoid suspicion, he should avoid this filthy place.
"How did the Holy One get here?" Cen Jiang saw that the Empress Dowager Ye had been strangled to death, so he let go of her hands and feet, stepped forward and said, "The Empress Dowager has passed away." ”
At this moment, Emperor Tianzhu had no intention of pursuing the life and death of Empress Dowager Ye, and he didn't even glance at her death, but only asked urgently: "What about the heart?" ”
"Lightly?" Cen Jiang was puzzled: "How could she be here?" ”
With just this sentence, Emperor Tianzhu's heart was cold, and he shouted angrily: "Search the palace!" ”
At the sound of an order, the Praetorian Guards outside the palace rushed in and began to search for people like a storm. But after a while, someone said: "Holy! There's someone in the dresser! ”
Emperor Tianzhu immediately bypassed the curtain, walked quickly to the outside of the dressing room, and pushed away the two Praetorian Guards who were blocking the door with one hand.
The dim candle flame shone brightly and brightly on the pearls and emeralds that filled the room, and the Emperor of Heaven turned a blind eye to all of this—all that caught his eye was the bloodless face of Dan Xin, and the look of horror on his face. But seeing her sit on the ground with trembling teeth, her eyes were blank and full of tears, as if she was like a paper person, sluggish and lifeless.
In an instant, the heart of the Heavenly Emperor sank into the abyss, and he leaned down and whispered, "Lightheart......
This sound seemed to carry a terrible curse, which made Danxin come back to his senses immediately. She raised her eyes hysterically, and when she saw the charming and handsome face that was indistinguishable from the male and female, her face could hardly hide her fear, and she screamed almost like crazy: "Murder! Killed! …… Don't kill me, don't kill me! ”
Danxin really saw it all! Emperor Tianzhu was angry all over his body, both angry with Empress Dowager Ye's methods, and frustrated at the innocence of his heart. He stretched out his hand to touch her, trying to say something to reassure: "Lightheart, it's me." ”
Dan Xin only trembled to himself, holding his head with one hand and touching his neck with the other, as if he was afraid that he would be strangled to death. She screamed incessantly, and seemed unconscious.
Cen Jiang followed Emperor Tianzhu and rushed to see this scene in the dressing room. He only hated himself for listening to Empress Dowager Ye's nonsense, not only did he not insist on searching the palace, but he was also tricked by her to say a lot of things that should not be said, presumably the light heart in the dressing room also heard it......
After following Emperor Tianzhu for several years, Cen Jiang had already seen that his master was different. Although this affection is not as good as the obsession with Luan, nor is it as respectful and trusting as the queen's mother, but serving in the palace for two years is indeed a place in the heart of the Emperor of Heaven.
Even if the Emperor deliberately ignored it in the past, after tonight, he couldn't deceive himself anymore. Thinking of this, Cen Jiang felt even more ashamed and blamed himself, so he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Weichen is derelict in his duties, and he doesn't notice that the indifferent girl is here, he really deserves death." ”
Hearing this, Emperor Tianzhu suddenly turned his head and glared at Cen Jiang angrily, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes were full of cruelty, even ...... Killing meaning. However, he didn't reprimand after all, and he couldn't say anything in the face of his loyal subordinate Cen Jiang; Besides, the situation is not good, and he has no intention of saying more at this moment.
Seeing this, Cen Jiang buried his head deeply, blaming himself so much that he was ashamed of himself.
The faint exhortations and screams still echoed in his ears, and the sound was not smaller, but louder and louder. In order to avoid the expansion of the situation, the Emperor of Heaven had no choice but to slash at the back of Danxin's neck with a knife and knock her unconscious.
Danxin's eyes immediately darkened, her delicate body was shaky, and the Emperor of Heaven quickly reached out to help her, personally picked her up horizontally, got up and walked out of the dressing room quickly.
Outside the hall, the body of the Empress Dowager Ye has been ignored, her tongue is crooked on the chair, her face is black and blue, and she looks terrible. Emperor Tianzhu walked out with a light heart, but when he passed by the corpse, he suddenly stopped, flew up in anger, and kicked the chair.
With a "bang", the chair fell to the ground, and Empress Dowager Ye's body fell and rolled on the ground. Her forehead hit the floor tiles, and in an instant there was a dark blue.
Ye Yingfei is a good means! Emperor Tianzhu scolded angrily in his heart, hugged the light heart in his arms tightly, and walked out of the Palace of Mercy and Grace with a cold face. The emperor walked away in a heavy step against the wind, did not shy away from protecting the delicate body in his arms, and said in a condensed voice: "Pass the imperial doctor!" ”
The chief eunuch who was accompanying him did not dare to slack off, and immediately led the order to run in the direction of the Tai Hospital. But as soon as he took two steps, he hurriedly turned back, and seeing that the Heavenly Emperor had already walked away, he beckoned to Cen Jiang and asked quietly, "Lord Cen, where is this imperial doctor going?" If you take it to the room of the light-hearted girl, won't it make everyone know? ”
Cen Jiang squinted at Emperor Tianzhu, who was getting farther and farther away, and replied with a long sigh: "Let the imperial doctor go to Longqian Palace!" "Longqian Palace is the sleeping palace of Emperor Tianzhu.
The big eunuch was shocked when he heard this, and asked the imperial doctor to go to Longqian Palace? Wouldn't that make the situation even bigger? But this thought only flashed through him, and he suddenly realized: "Thank you Lord Cen for mentioning it, the old slave will do it." ”
……
How many women can be put aside in a man's heart? And what about the emperor?
The autumn wind hunted and rolled over, swept up the fallen leaves, and spent an extraordinary night in the Yingyuan Palace in the deep night.
*****
The next day, Emperor Tianzhu went to the early court as usual. Since he showed up and went to the Palace of Mercy and Grace the night before, he could only announce the death of Empress Dowager Ye in person-
"The Queen Mother Ye saw that King Cheng's wedding was imminent, so she missed the first emperor without worrying and followed. With the temporary coffin, after King Cheng entered Beijing, he was buried in the imperial mausoleum on a certain day. ”
Whether the cause of death is true or not, at least no one dares to openly pursue it. When the death of the Empress Dowager Ye Yingfei has become an indisputable fact, the ministers of the court and the central government have their own thoughts, some believe in the cause of death, and some secretly speculate.
After the next dynasty, many ministers wanted to ask for a separate face, but they were all rejected by Emperor Tianzhu. When he went to court, he heard a report from the Longqian Palace, saying that he had awakened and was clear, so he couldn't wait to return to the palace to visit.
As soon as he stepped into the main hall of Longqian Palace, the eunuch of the leading palace couldn't wait to greet him: "Holy Lord, the light-hearted girl woke up, and she just drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge." ”
"What did the Imperial Doctor say?" Emperor Tianzhu kept walking, asking as he walked.
This can be tired of the eunuch of the Longqian Palace, he not only has to bow down to reply, but also has to catch up with the pace of the Emperor of Heaven, and he has been panting without saying a word: "The imperial doctor said that the light-hearted girl was overly frightened, and it was not a big deal." ”
Hearing this, Emperor Tianzhu felt a little relieved and went straight to the inner hall. Since last night, Danxin has been raised in this inner sanctum, but not on his dragon bed, but on the couch in the inner sanctum.
Rao is so, for a female pen, this is already a great grace.
Emperor Tianzhu stepped into the inner hall, made a silent gesture to the palace people who served, and walked to the compartment alone. The palace maids hurriedly bowed down and quietly lifted the bead curtain, and there was no sound in the whole process.
On the couch, Dan Xin only wore a pure white middle coat, leaning on the head of the bed, the green silk was scattered, a pair of clear eyes were full of sorrow and disappointment, and his eyes did not know where to fall.
In this situation, Emperor Tianzhu suddenly couldn't bear to break it. Or maybe he hadn't had time to figure out how to deal with his indifference and how to explain what happened last night......
However, the faint scent of ambergris emanated from him, in the end, still disturbed the light heart with a keen sense of smell. She is simply too sensitive to this incense, she has served by the side of Emperor Tianzhu for two years, smelling it in her nose every day, and she has long been unable to forget and is very familiar.
Her long eyelashes flickered slightly, and she didn't raise her eyes to see the person coming from the door, her eyes rolled a few times, and she decided to pretend that she didn't see anything.
deliberately hid his face and yawned, raised his hand lightly and gathered the green silk, and lay back on the couch with his clothes. And, turn sideways inwards with your back to the doorway.
The slender body is covered under the thin futon, and it is still difficult to hide the delicate undulations. Emperor Tianzhu guessed her ghost idea, pursed his thin lips and made no sound, and slowly walked to the couch.
The two faced each other for a long time, one pretending to be asleep on the couch, the other pretending to be calm in front of the couch, and the room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing remained—the sound of short, nervous breathing.
She could always smell the faint aroma of ambergris, and she never heard the footsteps of leaving, so she also knew that the Heavenly Emperor had not left. She still couldn't hold her breath in the end, and gradually, her whole body began to tremble, and finally even her teeth trembled slightly.
She tried hard to restrain her trembling, but she couldn't control her body and mind. And the Heavenly Emperor has been watching silently, and his heart is also unpredictable.
Time flowed quietly, and an indescribable emotion spread out between the two, as if they were attracted to each other, struggling, and resisting each other.
Finally, Emperor Tianzhu slowly spoke, and said in a deep voice: "The queen mother has been in the palace for decades, and she is the best at calculating women's thoughts. I can't beat me, so I came up with this dirty method, don't be fooled......"
The light heart on the couch did not react, still trembling to herself, her eyes closed tightly and did not say a word. She was still pretending to be asleep, wishing that she would pass out immediately, but she was so awake at the moment that she had to continue listening.
All the small actions of the light heart fell in the eyes of the Heavenly Emperor, and the young emperor was very disappointed, but more disappointed. He asked himself that he was not a man of many words, and he did not like to explain and defend in his life, because in his opinion, language was pale, and he paid more attention to practical actions.
Such a feeling of powerlessness has not been felt by the Heavenly Emperor for a long time. He is helpless against only two women in this life, one is Luan, and the other is indifferent.
"Lightly, it's you who think of me too kindly." Emperor Tianzhu tried to tear apart her illusions and show her true self: "In all dynasties and dynasties, whose country is not iron-blooded? If I had a soft heart, I would have been in a different place a long time ago! ”
But the Queen Mother has raised you for more than ten years! Shouting in her heart, she wanted to question and reprimand, but she was full of anger in a thousand words, but in the end she didn't say anything, only turned into teardrops, and gradually wet the pillow......
