Chapter 55: Breaking the Game
Luo Qingzhi in the palace was very leisurely, but Gao Zhen, who learned the news outside the palace, was a little uneasy.
He found Fan Li and asked a little anxiously, "Master, do we really do nothing?"
Fan Li was a little helpless, shook his head, and there was some disappointment in his tone, "Xianyun, hurry things down, you must understand this truth."
"Master, I don't understand, Your Majesty has never been like this, I'm worried because of my business." Gao Zhen said.
Fan Li said, "You yourself said that Your Majesty has never been like this, so have you ever wondered why Your Majesty did this?"
Under the guidance of Fan Li, Gao Zhen began to think about this series of things.
He has lived in the palace for eighteen years, although he has not seen Gao Yan act with his own eyes, but he has also heard others talk about it, although he is decisive in killing, he is not a faint king, and he has always had little trust in Luo Qingzhi.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that perhaps, Gao Yan would not hurt her, he looked at Fan Li and said, "Perhaps, Your Majesty is trying to create an illusion?"
"Go on." Fan Li nodded.
Gao Zhen said: "The series of cases of Guozijian seem simple and straightforward, but after careful investigation, there are inextricable links behind them
But no matter which direction it is, it is currently linked to Arlo, so for His Majesty, Arlo is a breakthrough."
Fan Li nodded, a little helpless, "Look, aren't you quite clear about your analysis?"
Gao Zhen already knew the bottom of his heart, but he still couldn't bear to worry, "That person is Ah Luo, I can't do a calm analysis."
"No matter who it is," Fan Li said solemnly, "In the future, no matter who you encounter, you must calm down and analyze it well, if you mess up, then others will be at a loss."
Gao Zhen nodded, "Yes, I see."
Fan Li exhaled, his tone began to be gentle, and he guided again, asking, "Now, you know everything yourself
Tell me, what's behind this?"
Gao Zhen lowered his head, thinking about everything that had happened recently.
At the same time, changes have also quietly taken place in the palace, after Luo Qingzhi was "under house arrest", the first person to knock on the door of the Xianyang Palace was Shu
Concubine, the imperial concubine who once handed over the news to Luo Qingzhi.
Gao Yan is not greedy for pleasure, there are not many concubines in the harem, except for the queen and Concubine Shu, who are often called, the other concubines, Gao Yan estimates
Ji didn't even know his name.
When Gao Yan saw that it was Concubine Shu, he was still slightly surprised, he stopped reading the movement and asked, "Why are you here?"
Concubine Shu's tone was choked, "Your Majesty, I want to come to the county lord just for a moment to be confused, please don't blame her."
Gao Yan asked rhetorically, "Do you know what crime the county lord has committed, and why I want to condemn her."
"Although the concubine doesn't know what the county king has done to annoy Your Majesty, but the county lord is loyal, and Your Majesty understands, and, the county
The Lord will be married next month." Concubine Shu said.
Gao Yan sneered and said, "Then you come and tell me, how did you know that the county lord was married, I remember, and I haven't made an order yet."
Concubine Shu suddenly panicked, and said hesitantly: "This, the county lord's husband has been chosen, and the concubine thinks that the wedding is coming soon......
Gao Zhen didn't ask, but said lightly: "After I ascended the throne, you entered the palace, and you have been with me for the past ten years.
I also belong to you in this posteriority, but ...... When did you start ......?"
The sudden pause made Concubine Shu think about whether she should say something, but before she could confirm her thoughts, Gao Yan's voice came again,
He smashed a tea bowl to his feet.
"Say, who is the one whom you put beside me?"
Gao Zhen's tone was calm, but Concubine Shu was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"No, Your Majesty, no."
Gao Zhen didn't have the patience to continue listening to her explanation, and asked again, "Who is it?"
「……
」
Concubine Shu cried and said, "Yes..."
"Your Majesty!"
Without waiting for Concubine Shu's answer, Huang Shi knelt on the ground and whispered, "It was the slave who sent the message to Concubine Shu."
Gao Yan couldn't believe what he heard, Huang Shi had been by Gao Yan's side since he was a child, and he was like a father and a brother to him.
"Say it again!" Gao Yan was angry, stood up, and said, "You make it clear to me, it's you? Did you tell Concubine Shu the news? Who else did you tell? Huh?"
Huang Shi no longer spoke, just kowtowed silently, and after a while, blood stains appeared on the gold bricks, and Concubine Shu, who was kneeling aside, did not dare to speak.
But after a few hours, the wind direction in the palace changed again, and this time, it was Huang Shi, who was closest to His Majesty the Emperor, who was under house arrest.
When such news reached the county lord's mansion, Rao was as calm as Fan Li, and he began to be puzzled, and he couldn't guess the emperor's behavior at all.
Gao Zhen, who was already calm, began to worry again when he heard such news, "Master, I know that there is a dog hole at the root of the palace wall, and I can blend into it."
Fan Li didn't refute it at the first time, thought about it, and asked, "Are you sure?"
Gao Zhen nodded affirmatively.
Fan Li was still hesitating, and Gao Zhen explained, "Hold still, but you can't not know any news, maybe, Ah Luo is waiting for us."
「...... Okay." Fan Li finally nodded, and added, "When you meet, you will come out when you hear the news of Anning, don't stay."
Gao Zhen said, "Yes, master."
Luo Qingzhi was placed under house arrest in the hall on the left side of the Xianyang Palace, and the outside of the house was full of forbidden troops.
The hall on the left is not far from the main hall, and the sound of the cup breaking just now still came.
Luo Qingzhi was a little worried, although she understood that Baili Xi and Fan Li were not impulsive people, but she couldn't help but worry about whether the two of them were too worried about themselves and entered the palace to intercede.
She desperately wanted to know who was in the temple and what had happened.
When it was lunch time, the little palace maid who came in to deliver the meal was a fresh face, she deliberately knocked over the food, pretending to be angry, "Let Huang Gonggong come to see me, and dare to deliver such dishes to me."
The little palace maid knelt down a little frightened, her voice was very soft, and her voice was still a little trembling, "County, county lord, Huang Gonggong, was punished by His Majesty, and I can't come to serve you."
"What? Who are you talking about?" Luo Qingzhi couldn't believe what she had heard, and asked again.
This time, she got a more accurate answer.
"Father-in-law Huang privately sent a message to Concubine Shu, and was punished by His Majesty."
Luo Qingzhi frowned, very puzzled, she didn't believe that Huang Shi was such a person.
"Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty." Luo Qingzhi shouted.
When the forbidden army outside the house heard the noise, they pushed the door open and asked, "What does the county lord command?"
"I want to see Your Majesty."
The leader of the forbidden army replied respectfully, "Your Majesty has commanded that the county lord will be able to meet you tomorrow."
Luo Qingzhi sighed and stopped talking.
The forbidden army and the palace maid all retreated, and she was the only one left in the entire hall.
She didn't understand why things turned out like this, at the beginning, Gao Yan suddenly put her under house arrest, she thought, maybe he wanted to test to see if someone would fall into the well, but now it was Huang Shi who was punished, and she felt that something was very wrong.
"Hey." Luo Qingzhi couldn't help but sigh.
She began to look around at the situation, there were two teams of forbidden troops outside the hall, a total of thirty people, and it might be possible to get out by forcing a breakthrough, but it didn't seem to make things more complicated.
Luo Qingzhi thought about it, opened the door of the hall, and said, "I don't like the meal just now, let people remake it."
"Dare to ask Your Highness, what do you want to eat?"
Luo Qingzhi said, "Hibiscus cake."
"My subordinates will inform the Imperial Dining Room."
"No, I don't." Luo Qingzhi said, "I want to eat the hibiscus cake of the Sun family at the root of the city wall."
「.....
Yes, my subordinates will do it."
Gao Zhen came to the dog hole outside the root of the wall, and was about to get in, when he heard the sound of extremely fast footsteps, he quickly hid, and the two eunuchs came over.
"This peaceful group master is really troublesome, what kind of hibiscus cake outside the palace to eat."
"Shut up, hurry."
Gao Zhen listened to the conversation between the two, thinking that hibiscus cake was Luo Qingzhi's favorite pastry, and suddenly asked someone to come out to buy it at this time, could it be that there were people from the county lord's mansion in the pastry shop?
didn't have time to think about it, Gao Zhen followed behind the two.
Bypassing the moat outside the palace, the two came to Sun's pastry shop, and one of them looked up at the signboard, and after being sure, he walked in.
Gao Zhen observed the terrain outside the house, thinking about entering from the direction of the back kitchen.
The small door in the back kitchen was wide open, and he had just entered with his left foot, but was stopped by a person.
"This is the kitchen, and you need to eat through the front door."
Gao Zhen just guessed that there was someone from the county lord's mansion here, but he didn't know the code, and he couldn't go back to ask at this time, thought about it, and said boldly: "Anning County mainly eats hibiscus cake, let me buy it?" br>
"Lord of Tranquility?" The little girl was a little surprised, but still asked, "The county lord usually asks Uncle Luo to buy it, why did he send you here today?"
Gao Zhen didn't know how to explain, and he couldn't directly identify himself, so he didn't answer.
The little guy was also alert, and when he saw that Gao Zhen couldn't answer, he began to drive him away.
Gao Zhen was a little anxious, but he didn't retreat.
"Archie, stop."
Gao Zhen saw Luo Chen as if he saw a savior.
Archie said, "Luo Ye."
Luo Chen nodded, without too many pleasantries, and said, "I just heard someone in front of me indicate that he wants hibiscus cake, you go and do it."
Archie left, and Luo Chen continued to explain, "Mr. Fan thought that the master might find a way to deliver the news, so let me come here to have a look."
Gao Zhen said, "Let's knock those two unconscious later, change into their clothes and enter the palace."
Luo Chen nodded first, and then shook his head, "No, you can only change one of them, and when two faces enter the palace, it is easy to be seen."
Gao Zhen thought about it and nodded.
Luo Chen said, "I'll solve this matter, and the second son will just wait here."
With a cup of tea, Archie's pastry was completed, and the eunuch's clothes Luo Chen was also ready.
Gao Zhen was a little curious and asked, "How did you do it?"
Luo Chen smiled and took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, "I lied to them and fed them poison."
"Okay, second son, don't delay, you quickly change your clothes and enter the palace, after seeing the master, you tell her that there is no change in the Guozijian and the Zhou Mansion." Luo Chen said.
