Chapter 299: Chestnut from the Fire (Part II)
Chapter 299: Taking Chestnuts from the Fire (II)
The winter day is always bright late, so there are still two minutes to go, and the streets and alleys are still dim and tight. In front of the left gate of Chang'an in the palace, there were already officials waiting for the early dynasty, but the closed palace door showed no sign of opening early, so they could only rub their hands and stomp their feet to keep warm, and they didn't even dare to raise their voices too loudly. There were only a few high-ranking officials at the level of Shangshu Shilang with lanterns in their hands, and most of them could only try their best to distinguish who was coming in this dark place, waiting for the moment when the palace gate opened.
I don't know how long it took, but the closed palace door slowly opened a crack. As the gap widened, the crowd finally stirred. At least, there were still straight rooms in front of the noon gate, so that they could keep warm, so when the gate was almost open, many officials rushed in, and the posture was better than thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Because of this, it is inevitable that several officials rubbing each other against each other, and as for the small movements between the collisions, no one will see them.
In Dong'anmen, Xi'anmen, and Bei'anmen, the eunuchs waiting for the palace gate to open were also scrambling at the moment of opening. Those who carry toilets out, those who go out to buy, those who go to the palace to run errands, and those who enter the palace to deliver jade spring water...... In this endless flow of people, King Huai finally smoothly mixed into the palace from Bei'anmen, but in the past, there were at least two or three people around him, but today he was the only one, so he naturally looked embarrassed.
Last night, King Huai did not return all night, and Li Shuyuan of Yongning Palace also did not sleep all night. After getting up early in the morning to wash, she was about to send her heart out to investigate, when she saw a henchman eunuch hurriedly running in, and he stepped forward and whispered on his knees: "Niangniang, Your Highness has come in." Because I was afraid that the Xuanwu Gate would find out, I went first to know the prison and asked us to send someone to answer it. ”
"This bastard is small" Li Shuyuan scolded angrily, but finally nodded, "You lead two reliable people, quickly bring people in"
Half an hour later, King Huai finally entered Yongning Palace. However, after seeing Li Shuyuan, he didn't explain anything, but said angrily to the eunuch next to him: "What are you doing in a daze, go prepare wooden barrels and hot water, send someone to make a bed to warm the bed, I'm tired to death."
Li Shuyuan saw that the little eunuch didn't dare to say a word more, so she ran out of smoke to make arrangements, and she was suddenly angry. Seeing King Huai sit down, she stepped forward and reprimanded: "This is not the first time, where did you slip away this night, do you know what if your father summons you?" If it weren't for the kindness of the former queen, all the concubines could have raised their own daughters, you would have gone to the West Fifth Institute of the Qianqing Palace, how could you be so free now"
King Huai couldn't listen to this lesson at all, and sneered back: "What kind of kindness, if she didn't have a daughter herself, and she didn't even want to pick a child to raise under her knees, how could the storage position be left until now is undecided, if it weren't for her partiality, how could she pick such a family business for me?"
"You ......" Li Shuyuan was so angry that she couldn't say a word, and held back a sentence for a while, "Where have you been?" Isn't it still that Qiong Fang...... What kind of place is that, you are an emperor white dragon fish suit, you are not afraid of being played by fish and shrimp? ”
It's okay not to say this, as soon as he heard the four words of fish and shrimp, Huai Wang Deng remembered the experience of last night, and his face suddenly became so bad and how bad. Taking a deep breath, he couldn't help Li Shuyuan to ask again and again, and finally stood up abruptly and shook off her hand, and said sharply: "Don't ask, it's all a good person you arranged for me, I don't know where to slip away at the critical moment, if someone hadn't reached out to help, I would have been calculated from now on, you don't care about my business."
Seeing that King Huai was angry and walked away, Li Shuyuan felt that things were not good, but she didn't have time to deal with him, so she hurriedly sent someone out to inquire. By noon, she had finally come to the news, but the results made her heart fall into an ice cellar. She went straight to King Huai's bedroom in almost three steps and two steps, and pulled open the pink curtain at once. Seeing a red 1U's body curled up beside King Huai, she couldn't help but be angry in her heart, pulled her head with her hand and pulled the person off the bed, and shouted behind her back.
"What are you doing in a daze, pull her out for me"
King Huai was awakened by this action and sound, and when he understood what was happening, he was immediately annoyed, and when he lifted the quilt, he shouted angrily: "What do you want to do?"
"I should ask you this" Li Shuyuan saw that the two eunuchs behind her had dragged the palace maid away, this one grabbed the curtain and counted it all as if venting her anger, "Qiong Fang has a murder case, the head card is dead, and now the Shuntian Mansion Criminal Department and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division have moved"
"Dead...... King Huai was stunned for a moment, and frowned for a long time, "How can this be...... This isn't the first time, she's just passed out at most, isn't ......?"
His face turned pale, and then he pulled Li Shuyuan to sit down: "Auntie, where did you get the news?" Could it be wrong? Also, have I ever seen a few of my relatives in Qiongfang? ”
Li Shuyuan gasped when she was asked a few questions like a cannon by King Huai, and her voice trembled a little: "Could it be ...... Were you really there last night? ”
"Ah Niang, if you beat around the bush again, the matter will be really big" King Huai got out of bed irritably, pulled his shoes and walked back and forth in the room for two steps, and then turned around and rushed over, holding Li Shuyuan's shoulders tightly with both hands, "I'll tell you the truth, when those people from the Five Cities of Shuntianfu rushed in, someone happened to break in, saying that someone was calculating me, and then took me away from the dark passage, as for my entourage, they didn't care about it, don't say that the top card may have killed the woman by the two people who helped me...... After all, she heard my voice, and it was good to be dead, but if my guards were caught, then I really wouldn't be able to tell anything."
Combined with the results of his own inquiry, coupled with King Huai's words, Li Shuyuan already had a rough idea in her heart. She couldn't bear the horror in her heart, and whispered word by word: "At that time, all the people in Qiongfang, except for a few important dignitaries who were named, the rest were taken back by Shuntianfu, and it is said that Jinyiwei also joined the investigation, but I didn't hear about the people who took you...... Don't be too happy, I ask you, didn't you think that the two guys who saved you were deliberately killing people, and then took away your guards, and with this handle in their hands, you became their puppets"
King Huai has not recovered from the fright all night, and he has just been a rough ** toss, and when he heard these words, Fang vaguely had a bad premonition. Just when he rubbed his face vigorously twice, and was a little dazed for a while, someone outside suddenly raised his voice and shouted twice.
"Mother, Your Highness"
"Come in" Li Shuyuan called angrily, and saw a eunuch hurriedly entering the door, her face was full of panic, she couldn't help but shout, "If you have something to say, don't talk about it." ”
"Niangniang, Lord Yang of the Right Army Governor's Mansion sent a secret performance from Xuanfu, and he arrived in front of the court this morning, and the emperor made a ...... on the spot" The eunuch swallowed hard, paused and continued, "Niangniang's brother, Master Li Zhengli, who is in charge of the military weapons supervisor of the Ministry of Works, was found to have colluded with Song Xiong, the god of Xuanfu, and the emperor was furious and sent him to prison......"
"What"
Li Shuyuan only felt that the world was spinning and he was paralyzed, while King Huai was angry and shouted, waiting to prove that this was the news from the previous dynasty, and his already bad face suddenly became ugly. The mother and the mother were depressed, and the eunuch immediately tiptoed out of the room, and the moment he lowered the curtain, he heard a roar from the king of Huai.
"Yang Jinzhou, you are looking for death"
Yangning Hou Mansion Tatexiang Courtyard is the landlord's second room.
Chen Ying's words surprised Chen Lan, and even the Zhu family showed a different color. Chen Ying looked at the expressions of the two of them, and said with a smile: "It is naturally a good thing that the emperor trusts Shuquan now, but after all, it is the maternal uncle of King Huai, and it is inevitable that something will happen." Three girls, you know it, so you can be prepared. After a pause, his tone sank, "Madame's illness is also thanks to you for inviting Imperial Doctor Lin, I have already seen him, and he said that Madame's condition is very bad." Madame had just said a lot of things to me, and I agreed. Brother Ting will be raised under the old lady's knees in the future, and the old lady can also have a companion in her old age. If she really had any chances, I wouldn't marry again. ”
It sounded like the words of his wife, but Chen Lan listened to that flat tone, but he didn't feel that the person in front of him was extremely ruthless. And the Zhu family was as faint as ever, and when Chen Ying left, he grabbed Chen Lan's hand.
"Uncle Quan's secret performance, can you know in advance?" Seeing that Chen Lan shook his head, Zhu realized his gaffe and let go of his hand again, "Yes, after all, this is a major matter of the imperial court, even if he writes you a letter outside, he can't add these ...... Putting aside the matter of your third aunt for the time being, the Li family has been working in the Ministry of Industry for several generations, and Li Zheng is now in charge of the ordnance superintendent, and he was in charge of the camp and the construction of the palace before, and he didn't know how much money he made, so if he wanted to investigate, he could naturally find out countless problems. But his family is King Huai's money bag, and King Huai will definitely not give up, for fear that someone will pick him up......"
Thinking of the King Huai who had always been condescending and talking to himself, and was also ruthless and vicious, Chen Lan didn't expect that his strategy of leading the water to the east had not yet succeeded, and Yang Jinzhou suddenly attacked him head-on. However, it's not surprising to think about it, Yang Jinzhou went on the orders of the emperor, and when the emperor immediately turned his face when he played this secret, the posture was clearly known for a long time, just waiting for the latter reason
It is not so much that this is a chestnut in the fire, but that this is the emperor's mental trick of the heavens......
