Chapter 32 Anti-General Army
At this time, there was an ambush in front and a chasing soldier in the back, and the two really fell into Cao Guifei's net.
The two didn't want to be caught, but put on a posture, wanting to meet the enemy one after the other.
Cao Guifei said angrily: "The one in white is the little palace maid in the palace, and the one in black must be Concubine Ning." Be sure to capture her alive! At the last moment, I saw two men in black jump onto the palace wall, one for each of them, and grabbed the two female assassins, and fled to the east and west. One of the men in black held two red projectiles in his hand and threw them at the palace wall. When the projectile landed, a puff of white smoke rose one person high, blocking everyone's view. When the white smoke clears, where will there be the shadow of half an assassin?!
Cao Guifei was angry and shouted, "What about people?!" It's all for this palace to chase! A bunch of rubbish! If you can't catch up with anyone, don't come back! ”
The woman in white was pulled by the wrist by a man in black, and ran forward, running for more than a few miles, and only stopped when she heard that the pursuers behind her had been thrown away by the two.
Luo Sinan tore off the masked black cloth and said to the woman in white: "Oh, my little ancestor, you are really bold enough." Not only did you explore Jinyang Palace at night, but you also dared to pull Concubine Ning with you! Your brother doesn't have the guts of yours. If it weren't for Father-in-law Qi's inner body to inform us of your movements in time, now you two would really be shouting that the heavens should not be and the earth is not working. When the time comes, I will not be able to protect you if I pay for this head on my head. ”
The woman in white just silently broke free of Luo Sinan's hand holding her wrist and didn't speak.
"You don't have to be afraid that your brother will kill you now, he may even kill me by the way. But the most important thing now is that Your Majesty should not blame the two of us for Concubine Ning Niangniang's danger, otherwise it will not be your brother's turn to do it. ”
"Don't blame Miss Xiao Ji, it is the idea of this palace to visit Jinyang Palace at night. This palace will definitely explain this matter to His Majesty. The woman in white said.
Luo Sinan was taken aback by the woman in white, he looked at the woman in white for a moment before he said cautiously: "Concubine Ning? ”
"Lord Luo and this palace are old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so polite." The woman in white removes the black cloth from her mask.
"Oops! I thought it was a small word. This...... If you are offended, please forgive me. ”
The two were talking, when they heard Ji Cunyan's voice coming from the alley in the distance.
"Brother Luo! I'm here. ”
As he spoke, he saw Ji Cunyan leading Qi Yue over. Qi Yue was also wearing a night suit, so he dropped the smoke bomb, and it was he who covered everyone's escape under the smoke.
Luo Sinan held his forehead and said, "The foolish people are here." ”
"Brother Luo, I didn't expect Grandpa Qi's martial arts to be so good, we just met the chasing soldiers, and Grandpa Qi solved those masters in three or two clicks." Ji Cunyan said to him while running towards Luo Sinan, and when he got close to the left, Ji Cunyan said to Concubine Ning: "Concubine Ning is good!" Are you alright? ”
Concubine Ning said: "Lord Luo's martial arts are strong, and with his guard, the palace is naturally unharmed." ”
Qi Yue also followed, saying; "Now there are assassins in Jinyang Palace, and the news of more than two has been spread, so it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Especially Concubine Cao Guifei will definitely go to listen to the rain pavilion making waves, let's go back and deal with her first. Lord Luo, I'm sorry for you to take Miss Xiao Ji to Qingyuezhai to wait for the summons. Our family sent Concubine Ning back to listen to the rain pavilion. ”
Luo Sinan said: "Okay." ”
Ji Cunyan asked Luo Sinan: "Brother Luo, is my third brother in the palace now?" ”
Luo Sinan said: "What? Are you afraid of being beaten now? ”
Ji Cunyan grinned and said, "It's okay, I think he will fight you together!" ”
“…… Let's pack our bags and run away! ”
"Okay! Okay! ”
"You're thinking beautifully."
……
The voices of the two grew apart.
Concubine Ning looked at the backs of the two, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. She used her left hand to hold the wrist of her right hand that had just been held by Luo Sinan, and lowered her eyes.
Qi Yue said to Concubine Ning: "Niangniang." ”
"Hmm."
"Without further ado, we have to hurry back to listen to the Rain Pavilion."
"Okay."
Sure enough, as Qi Yue expected, Concubine Cao not only went to Tingyu Pavilion by herself, but also brought her aunt and mother with her. A group of people seemed to be asking for a crime, and they couldn't even stop Qi Yue, who was guarding the door, and went straight into the main hall of Tingyu Pavilion.
Cao Guifei looked proud, and she was about to have a seizure when she entered the door. I want to order someone to turn this listening rain pavilion upside down.
Who knew that her order was still in her throat, and she was swallowed back by the person sitting in the main hall.
I saw that the emperor was sitting in the main hall drinking tea, and through the screen, a piano sound flowed over, but it looked like the years were quiet.
The emperor raised his eyes to look at Cao Guifei, and then at the Queen Mother. Only then did he stand up slowly and salute the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother is well." ”
The Queen Mother was also taken aback, but her demeanor was still there, so she nodded to the emperor and said, "Why is the emperor grounded in the concubine?" ”
The emperor said: "I promised to let Concubine Ning ground, but I didn't say that I wouldn't come to visit her. Tonight, the three palaces and six courtyards are very noisy, and only listening to the rain pavilion is quiet. ”
The Queen Mother sighed, turned around and prepared to greet Cao Guifei, there is no gain from today's trip, let's leave quickly!
Who knew that Cao Guifei felt that she had a chance to win, so she didn't give up, and only stiffened her neck and said, "Your Majesty is here, isn't it to cover for Concubine Ning?" Concubine Ning was rampant, and when she was grounded, she did not stay in the Listening Rain Pavilion, but ran to the palace of the concubine to make waves and do some witch things. Now that the concubine has obtained the evidence, she has asked His Majesty for support. ”
The emperor stared at Cao Guifei and said word by word: "You are too presumptuous." ”
Although the emperor does not lose his temper easily, he also has the power of the emperor. It is precisely because he does not lose his temper easily that he gets angry and can deter everyone even more.
At this time, in addition to the Queen Mother and Cao Guifei, the house full of eunuchs, palace maids and guards, connected to Qi Yue and knelt down together.
Even the Queen Mother flinched a little.
Only Concubine Cao still refused to give up, she even stepped forward and said to the emperor: "Concubine and dare to ask, is Concubine Ning still here in the Listening Rain Pavilion?" ”
The emperor said, "Yes." ”
Cao Guifei took another step forward and said, "Really? ”
The emperor's face was gloomy, and he said to Cao Guifei: "Are you saying that I am lying?" ”
Even the Queen Mother couldn't hold on to the corner of the table beside her, and said to Cao Guifei: "Zhen'er, don't say it again." You've trespassed. ”
Cao Guifei realized that something was wrong, took a step back, and said, "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine loses her honor." ”
The Queen Mother said again: "Don't kneel down yet!" ”
Cao Guifei knelt down reluctantly.
The emperor said: "I obviously said that during Concubine Ning's grounding, no one can enter the Listening Rain Pavilion unless there is an edict from me. You're fine, and you'll move out of your mother's back. It is disrespectful for you to disturb the queen mother's rest at night and let her accompany you to make such a big fuss. Now she is still listening to the rain pavilion like a shrew. Look at yourself, where is there still a little bit of the concubine's demeanor and open-mindedness? I ask you, if Concubine Ning is in the Listening Rain Pavilion now, how will you stay? ”
Cao Guifei said: "Concubine...... Concubines...... If Concubine Ning is still listening to the Yu Pavilion, the concubine will be disposed of by His Majesty. ”
The emperor said, "Good! Qi Yue! ”
Qi Yue stood up and said, "Here!" ”
The emperor said, "Remove the screen!" ”
Qi Yue then walked over in person and pushed the screen away.
I saw that the continuous sound of the piano in this room came from behind the screen, and the one who played the piano behind the screen was Concubine Ning.
Concubine Ning stopped the piano, walked out, and saluted the Queen Mother and Concubine Cao, but did not speak.
Cao Guifei's pupils shrank, and her face was full of disbelief. But then, she sneered again: "The concubine caught the person who used witchcraft to harm me in Jinyang Palace tonight, but no one caught her, so she ran away." Since he ran, he didn't know if he came to listen to the rain pavilion. ”
The Queen Mother couldn't hold it anymore, shook her head helplessly, and sat down.
Qi Yue was clever, and hurriedly trotted a few steps and waited beside the Queen Mother.
The emperor said, "You...... That's not what you said. You said that if Concubine Ning was listening to the Rain Pavilion, you would let me deal with it. Mother, can you bear witness to this? ”
The Queen Mother held her forehead and said, "Let the emperor dispose of it!" Alas, Qi Yue. ”
"Yes." Qi Yue said.
"The mourning family has a headache, you send the mourning family back to the palace!"
"Yes." Qi Yue said, helping the Queen Mother up.
The emperor still added oil and vinegar to the back, and said loudly to the back of the queen mother: "Congratulations to the queen mother." Qi Yue, the queen mother is probably very angry tonight, you call a doctor to take a look. ”
Qi Yue turned back to the emperor and said, "Yes." ”
Cao Guifei looked at Concubine Ning hatefully and said, "Concubine Ning, you are so ruthless. ”
Concubine Ning said: "The concubine doesn't know what the concubine is talking about. But I am willing to lose the bet, since the concubine Niangniang wants to be at the disposal of His Majesty, then she has to speak. ”
Cao Guifei said: "Your Majesty, what do you want to do with your concubines?" Do you want to send your concubines into the cold palace? ”
The emperor had just commanded the Empress Dowager's army, and he always felt relaxed and happy at this time, he looked back at Cao Guifei and said, "You brought so many guards over, do you want to search the Rain Pavilion?" ”
Cao Guifei was silent angrily.
The emperor said: "Then use the other way, and give back to the other!" Concubine Ning. ”
"Yes."
"How about you take your people and search the Jinyang Palace of the concubine?"
Concubine Ning also pretended to take a step back, bowed and said, "But the concubine, the concubine won't search the palace." ”
The emperor said, "What's so difficult about this? I'll find someone to search for you. Qi Yue sent the Queen Mother away, but she had to delay for a while. Let Luo Sinan of Tianlongwei accompany you to search! ”
When Cao Guifei heard that she was going to search her palace, she couldn't hold it back, but now when she heard that she was lined up with Tianlongwei, this is not the same thing as the eunuch guards in the palace to search the palace, and immediately protested: "Your Majesty!" ”
The emperor glanced at her and said, "Didn't you just say that if Concubine Ning was in the Listening Rain Pavilion, you would let me deal with it?" ”
"Concubine...... Although the concubine was reckless for a while, she was also a noble concubine. How can there be a noble concubine who is searched by an ordinary concubine? If you really want to search, whether it is Father-in-law Qi or Luo Sinan, you can do it. But Concubine Ning must not set foot in the Jinyang Palace of the concubine. ”
Even Concubine Ning couldn't listen to it anymore at this time, and sighed on the side.
The emperor was about to be laughed at by Cao Guifei. He said, "I never knew that you could die like this." You said that you can't search your house by people who are lower than you. Do you want me to make Concubine Ning a noble concubine now, or do you want me to demote you to Zhaoyi? ”
"Your Majesty! You just want to stand up for Concubine Ning! Cao Guifei said.
The emperor nodded solemnly and said, "You are right in this sentence, I really just want to stand up for Concubine Ning." ”
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Tianlongwei came so fast! Luo Sinan had already stepped into the Listening Rain Pavilion with his elite.
The emperor said: "Concubine Ning, thank you for your hard work, take Luo Sinan to search Jinyang Palace!" As for you......"
He looked at Cao Guifei.
"You're waiting here. Maybe in the future, this Tingyu Pavilion will become a place to imprison you. ”
