Chapter 221: The Empress is going to be beheaded
Seeing this, Ling Yunfei hurriedly asked anxiously, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”
"There was an accident in Beijing, and the queen mother was confined to Fengyi Palace by the emperor, and she was beheaded five days later."
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked, the queen is the mother of a country, and she has children for the royal family, what can make the emperor so angry, and he has to be beheaded. It stands to reason that the affairs of the royal family are secret, how can the verdict be announced publicly, it is really incredible.
"What? The queen asked? How could the royal brother do this. King Qi wondered.
"I think the queen must have been framed, but who is this person who framed her?" Ling Yun Feihu said suspiciously.
"No matter who it is, we must rush back to the palace within three days, and I must save the queen." Ling Ruoyi's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. She knew very well that although the queen was not surnamed Ling, it was her cousin and aunt after all, who broke the bones and connected the tendons, not to mention that in this ancient era where there was both glory and loss, she wanted others to disrupt her stable life.
"Okay, we'll be ready to go in a moment." King Qi said solemnly.
After the meal, the group began to pack up and whip up quickly, and even if they did not take a break on the road, all the food and water were also carried out on horses or carriages.
"Miss, don't be too anxious, the auspiciousness of the queen's side quietly asked someone to send the news back to the Guogong Mansion before the queen was grounded, and the young master also sent the news back in time, presumably the queen is not in a big deal now." Mu'er said softly with relief.
"Mu'er, I'm worried that the people behind this scene will not only deal with the queen, but the entire Zhenguo Mansion, and even the Qi Wang's Mansion."
"Miss, no, the prince is the emperor's younger brother, how can the emperor deal with the prince indiscriminately?" Mu'er wondered.
"Mengchun, what do you think?" Ling Ruoyi looked at Meng Chundao.
Meng Chun thought for a moment and said softly: "Miss, do you mean that the other party ostensibly wants to kill the queen mother, but in fact, he wants to kill you?" ”
Hearing this, Ling Ruoxuan pulled her lips and smiled, very good, the girl next to him is not stupid, she can understand the hidden meaning of this matter. "That's right, if I'm not mistaken, the spearhead is coming at me."
"Miss, what should I do, I don't know which bastard it is, why should I harm you." Mu'er said anxiously.
"I want to ......" Ling Ruoxuan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and her thoughts had drifted into the distance......
Three days later, King Qi and his entourage had successfully arrived at the palace, as soon as they entered the palace, King Qi first went to the Ming Ying Palace to ask to see the emperor, and Ling Ruohui, as a daughter-in-law, naturally had to meet her mother-in-law, the current queen mother.
In the Fengluan Palace, the Queen Mother wore a pale gold embroidered robe covered with a translucent gauze of the same color, and dragged it to the ground. The intricate temples are embellished with shiny ornaments, which look noble and full of the style of the mother of the nation.
"The sons see the queen mother, and the queen mother is safe." Ling Ruoyi saluted respectfully.
"Get up, I haven't seen you for some days, why have you lost a lot of weight, and your face is a little haggard." The Queen Mother said softly. She likes and envies this daughter-in-law very much, not only is she smart and beautiful, but most importantly, she has a kind heart.
"After thanking my mother, I don't have anything, it's just that I've been on the road these days, and I haven't rested well." Ling Ruoxuan smiled lightly.
"Alas, I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the palace, and I have to worry about your husband and wife again." The Queen Mother sighed helplessly. Then, he turned his head to the grandmother on the side and said, "Go to the treasury and get some good blood swallows, and bring them back to Princess Qi in a while, so that she can take good care of her body." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother, the slave will do it." Aunt Lan smiled and replied.
"Queen Mother, what happened in the palace? Why did the emperor confine the queen and ask for beheading? ”
"Alas, all this mourners don't know what is going on. A few days ago, the draft girl, the emperor newly accepted the granddaughter of General Weiyuan, Qin, after the Qin family entered the palace, he has been very peaceful, and he is also filial to the mourning family, but last month, the Qin family was pregnant, and somehow it had a miscarriage later, the emperor sent people to search the palace, and found the red flower in the queen's palace, as well as a few puppets, on which were written the eight characters of the birthday of the emperor and the Qin family, the emperor was furious, and the queen was grounded first for the crime of rebellion, and then beheaded. The mourning family couldn't persuade the emperor in this matter, and hoped that Qi'er could persuade him. ”
Hearing this, Ling Ruoyi understood the ins and outs of the whole thing, this Qin family has only entered the palace for a short time, according to the draft time of Yunshang Kingdom, she has only been in the palace for half a year, and she can also cultivate a certain amount of power in half a year, but the queen is the mother of a country, and the mother's family is the Zhenguo Mansion, and everyone knows that the Zhenguo Mansion and the Ling Mansion are in-laws, and they are the maternal grandfather of Princess Qi. With her little general's granddaughter, one pair of social servants is useless, and the other pair of dragon veins are helpless, and if she dares to frame the queen, there must be a master behind her.
Thinking about it so far, Ling Ruohui knew that time was precious, and it was better to investigate these things as soon as possible, otherwise one step later, the evidence would be destroyed, and it would be difficult to reveal the queen's grievances.
Ling Ruoyi didn't dare to delay any longer, so she suddenly got up and saluted the queen mother, and then hurriedly walked towards the Fengyi Palace where the queen was grounded.
"Who?" The guard guarding the palace gate said sharply.
"Bold, you dare to stop this princess, don't you want your head?" Ling Ruoxuan said coldly.
There are many princes in Yunshang Country, but there is only Princess Qi who has the right to move around at will in the harem, and the guards are not stupid. Whether the other party is Princess Qi or not, it can't be offended.
"I have seen the princess in my humble position, and the emperor has decreed that our brothers should guard the Fengyi Palace, and not let the people of the Fengyi Palace go out, and please ask the princess not to embarrass the lowly people." The guard saluted respectfully.
"The emperor just asked you to wait for the guards of Fengyi Palace, and no one from Fengyi Palace was allowed to go out, did you say that no one was allowed to visit?" Ling Ruoxuan said coldly. She just wants to catch the loopholes in the other party's speech, otherwise her majesty of Princess Qi is not very valuable.
"This ......, the emperor has never said it, but the queen mother is grounded again, and the princess is afraid that it is not appropriate for the princess to visit, so please ............"
Before the guards finished speaking, they heard Ling Ruoyi say angrily: "Bastard thing, where is this princess going, you still need your approval, get out of the way of this princess, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." ”
Seeing that the guards still refused to let go, Bingyu was about to draw his sword, Ling Ruoxuan raised his hand to stop it, took out the gold medal from his sleeve, and raised it high, as soon as those guards saw the gold medal, they knelt on the ground in panic and said in unison: "The slave has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
"Hmph, I won't let you talk to you well, I have to have this princess hold the gold medal. How about it, can this princess go in now? Ling Ruoyi raised her eyebrows and said.
No matter how confused the guard is, he knows that it must be Princess Qi in front of him, except for Princess Qi who has a gold medal from the emperor, who has it, not to mention, King Qi loves his wife as his life, if he offends Princess Qi, go back to the pillow and blow the wind, King Qi will wring their heads. The guard touched his neck, bowed and saluted, "Princess, please ......"
Ling Ruohui glanced at everyone coldly, gave Mengchun a look, and then walked towards Fengyi Palace, Bingyu followed closely behind, protecting Ruoyi's safety, Mengchun smiled and took out a bag of silver from his sleeve, stuffed it into the hand of the head of the guard and said: "This is the princess of my family who sees a few people who guard Fengyi Palace all day long, do their duty, and reward a few eldest brothers for tea, as long as they are on an errand and take care of the queen, the princess will not treat a few people badly." If the princess says a few good words in front of the prince, then Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner. ”
Mengchun was already pretty, and if she said it so softly, the anger of several guards had already dissipated, not to mention for the sake of silver.
"This girl, thank you for our brothers, princess, we will definitely take care of the queen's diet, and we will definitely not treat the queen badly." The head of the guard also knew the purpose of giving them this bag of silver, the so-called taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others. What's more, that person is Princess Qi.
"Definitely, definitely. I must tell the princess, the words of the eldest brothers, let the princess speak well in front of the prince. After Mengchun finished speaking, he chased after him with a smile.
One of the guards was a little puzzled and said: "Boss, why is this Princess Qi so big, and the emperor's royal gold medal, the most majestic in this palace belongs to her." ”
The head of the guard glanced coldly at the new guard and said: "What do you kid know, this princess Qi has a noble status, she is Ling Xiang's concubine, and the queen is a cousin, her brother is the king of Anjun, and her husband is the king of Qi, I heard that the emperor is also very good to her." ”
"So, the emperor also likes her, but it's also, such a beauty, which man doesn't like it."
"You kid, don't talk nonsense, don't you want to die?"
"Boss, I still don't understand, no matter how beautiful this princess is, the emperor has no reason to reward her with a gold medal."
"What do you know, the first emperor's favorite prince was King Qi, but King Qi did not want to be entangled in the throne, the first emperor gave the throne to the current emperor, King Qi is the emperor's younger brother, has been assisting the emperor, leading troops to fight, making great contributions to Yunshang, and usually loves the people, this princess opened a hospital to treat the poor for free. This is why the people of Yunshang Country live and work in peace and contentment, and the emperor will naturally reward the gold medal. ”
"So that's the case, this King Qi is really, what's wrong with the emperor, others can't be the emperor, what about him, he doesn't want to be yet."
The head of the guard listened to the little guard's mouth, the so-called disaster came out of the mouth, even if he died, don't bother yourself, in anger, he had to pat the little guard's head hard.
"Cousin......" As soon as Ling Ruoyi walked into the main hall, she saw the queen sitting on the ground decadently, her face full of tears, and she didn't know how many times she had suffered. Hearing someone call her that, she raised her eyes and saw Ling Ruoyi in a lilac dress.
Seeing Ling Ruoyi was like seeing her savior, and the queen took a few steps on her knees before she fell. Ling Ruoyi stepped forward quickly and helped him up, "...... Yi'er, I was framed, I was so wronged, but the emperor didn't believe me, woo woo woo ......"
finally saw her relatives, the queen's tears poured out like a flood, and it didn't take long for Ling Ruoyi's clothes to be wet.
"Queen Mother, if you have any grievances, just tell my young lady, the young lady just got the news of your accident and rushed back overnight."
"Yi'er, I was really wronged, I really didn't harm Concubine Qin's children." The queen burst into tears.
"Cousin, don't worry, tell me everything after the Qin family entered the palace, including the changes in the emperor, remember to say it word for word." Ling Ruoxuan said solemnly.
The queen naturally understood what Ling Ruoyi meant, sobbed a few times, put back her tears, and slowly told about the Qin family's events after entering the palace......
