Chapter 041: There Will Be Demons (2)
The east hall of the palace is called the East Palace!
Since the past dynasties, the East Palace has been the residence of the prince, but just over two months ago, in the eyes of the world, it has become a cage.
"Rui'er, have you been wronged these days?" On the wooden couch, Empress Dowager Zhao looked at her son and asked with a little concern on her face.
"The queen mother can rest assured, there is the general of the East to take care of it, and the sons and daughters are still used to living. ”
Kneeling opposite the Empress Dowager Zhao was a young man about twenty years old, with a brocade tie and a face like a crown of jade, it was the rumored prince who was imprisoned by the Empress Dowager Zhao - Prince Yang Rui!
"That's good, that's good......" Mrs. Zhao nodded with relief, then picked up the teacup, lowered her brows, and didn't know what she was thinking.
Empress Dowager Zhao didn't speak, and Yang Rui also looked down at the desk, as if there was a flower on the desk, and just like that, the room fell into a strange silence.
"The new emperor has fallen into the hands of Shi You. Suddenly, the teacup that was originally raised to the corner of her mouth was stunned, and Empress Dowager Zhao first broke the silent atmosphere.
"Is it ?......" Yang Rui replied without being salty, and then stared at the case without saying a word, looking like he had to see the flowers without flowers.
"Huang Ping and Gao Xi have already separated from the mourning family!" Seeing this, Empress Dowager Zhao sighed and continued.
"Oh?......" Yang Rui continued to bow his head and remain silent.
"Yang Rui!" Empress Dowager Zhao finally couldn't stand it anymore, she slapped the case a few times, and scolded angrily, "Do you still have this mother in your eyes?"
"Queen Mother, you are laughing, when did Rui'er do something unscrupulous?" Yang Rui saw that Empress Dowager Zhao was angry, and immediately laughed.
"Then you tell the mourning family, Your Majesty ...... him" Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Zhao suddenly got stuck, because she didn't know what happened to Emperor Shengbao.
"Father is dead!" At this time, Yang Rui suddenly became extremely strong, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Father is dead!
"You ......" Empress Dowager Zhao pointed to her son, trembling with anger, but in the end she just waved her hand helplessly and left the hall angrily.
Out of the gate of the East Palace, Empress Dowager Zhao walked alone between the towering palace walls, and suddenly felt that there was no one close to her in this huge world!
Gao Xi was originally just a person in charge of procurement in the palace, and she only became her henchman after the Empress Dowager Zhao launched the palace change, and Empress Dowager Zhao's original henchmen and eunuchs, or all the confidant eunuchs and palace maids of Empress Dowager Zhao, have been killed by her own hands!
More than two months ago, in the palace, the sky was clear, Emperor Shengbao died violently, the Empress Dowager Zhao launched a palace change, and everyone was attracted by the crown prince imprisoned in the East Palace, and no one cared that there were a few eunuchs and palace maids missing in the palace!
There is one thing, Empress Dowager Zhao has been holding it in her heart for a long time, but she doesn't dare to tell anyone!
More than two months ago, she saw with her own eyes that her husband, the emperor of the dynasty, suddenly laughed three times on the bed, and then a thunderbolt pierced the dormitory and landed on her side, and when she came back to her senses, the Holy Treasure Emperor was gone!
Empress Dowager Zhao, who was panicked at that time, immediately found her son, but her son seemed to have expected this, and after listening to her explain the cause and effect, he said something that she could not have imagined anyway - Da Zheng is dead!
At that time, the Empress Dowager Zhao fell into an inexplicable despair, until Huang Ping found her and said something that made her feel hope, so the two conspired to launch a palace change, and her power spread from the harem to the whole world!
But even so, Empress Dowager Zhao still wanted to know what happened at the beginning, and until now, she has questioned her son countless times, but every time she got the same result......
In the main hall of the East Palace, not long after the Empress Dowager Zhao left, a middle-aged general in armor walked in on the steps.
"General Dongfang, is the queen mother gone?" Yang Rui asked lightly when he saw the person coming.
"Back to Her Royal Highness, the Queen Mother has returned to Qiankun Palace. The general replied.
"En......" Yang Rui pondered for a while, as if he had made some important decision, and said to the general, "Prepare the car, I want to go to the Lingtai." ”
"No!" the general replied, and then retreated.
Lingtai, since the beginning of winter, the wild grass here has withered in patches, and next to the towering Lingtai, a wooden house is extremely conspicuous.
Da Da Da, a closed and tight carriage slowly came to the outskirts of Lijing City, if anyone found out who was sitting in the carriage, they would definitely be surprised, because almost everyone in the world thought that he should be like a caged bird at this time, and no one would have thought that he would fly outside the city.
The carriage stopped at the door of the wooden house, and the general surnamed Dongfang parked the carriage in the distance, and then sat on the carriage and quietly looked at the scenery, at this time he was not wearing armor, and looked like an ordinary groom, but if there was a slight movement within a radius of a hundred zhang, it would definitely not escape his perception!
"Mr. already knew that Gu was coming?" Looking at the freshly brewed tea on the table, Yang Rui smiled slightly, slowly walked to the opposite side of Fu Cicada, and sat down.
"The old man doesn't have that much ability, but he came to make a pot of tea today, and His Highness's arrival is just a coincidence. Fu Chan stroked his gray beard and said with a smile.
Yang Rui also smiled when he heard Fu Chan's answer, if it was someone else, he might think that this was indeed a coincidence, but the person in front of him ......
"I came to visit Mr. Gu today, I want to ask, can the calamity on Lone be dissipated?" Yang Rui did not continue to pursue this issue, he knew that there would be no result if he continued to pursue it.
Hearing this, Fu Chan picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip lightly, and said slowly, "Never!"
"Then, when will the lonely calamity be dissipated?" Yang Rui's eyes narrowed, and his fingers tapped on the table, as if he had no intention of drinking tea.
"The day the new emperor dies is the time when the calamity dissipates. Fu Chan took another sip of tea, and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was savoring the taste of this tea.
"Doesn't that mean that if the new emperor doesn't die for a day, the calamity on the lonely body will not dissipate for a day?" Yang Rui frowned, as if he was a little displeased.
"Hehe, exactly. Fu Chan chuckled and nodded.
Yang Rui didn't continue to ask, but his fingers tapped on the table faster and faster, and finally the whole hand suddenly clenched, and then slowly opened and picked up the teacup in front of him.
"Phew!" Yang Rui took a sip of tea, his face suddenly changed, he spit out the tea in his mouth, and asked, "Why is this tea so bitter?"
"Is it bitter? Hehe, the old man has been drinking this tea for more than 30 years, and he has never felt that this tea is bitter. Fu Chan replied with a smile.
Yang Rui walked out of the wooden house with a black face, until he got into the carriage, there was still a trace of bitterness in his mouth, he didn't know what Fu Cicada wanted to do, so he could only taste it carefully.
