Chapter 7, Mixed Grievances

The next morning, Lu Zhaoyi woke up and found that the house was already empty, only the fragrance on the bed tent was left in the air.

She got up, walked slowly to the dresser, and looked carefully in the mirror.

Reflected in the mirror, her face was ruddy, her eyes were clear, and she swept away the sad look of yesterday, perhaps under the effect of incense, this night was the deepest and most fragrant sleep she had in many years.

The corners of her lips curled into a shallow smile.

Her face is already captivating to the country and the city, and with this appearance, she looks peerless and graceful, even if she is a goddess, she is not as graceful as her.

As everyone knows, during the time when she looked in the mirror, a man dressed in black appeared outside the hall and quietly came to the window, his figure was tall and tall, and a black robe wrapped around his slender body, setting him off like a ghost, and his whole body exuded a wicked and eerie atmosphere, and his green silk hung down like a waterfall, which made people feel a little cold.

Luckily, it's daytime, and if it were at night, it would be scary.

When Lu Zhaoyi saw him, he was a little sluggish, and then regained his demeanor, "You can enter the palace, you should have been allowed by His Majesty!"

"I can't hide anything from Qi Niang, my subordinates haven't been able to see you out of the palace outside the palace last night, so I thought that you should be staying in the palace."

Her hand combing her hair paused slightly, and then asked unhurriedly, "Are King Liang and Princess Liang out of the palace?"

"Yes! When my subordinates entered the palace, they just met them."

Hearing this, she thought for a moment, put the comb back, got up slowly, and at the same time recounted the events of last night with the man in black outside the window.

During the narration, the man outside did not show any expression at all times, as if he would not move.

After speaking, Lu Zhaoyi turned to look out the window, "Among the black armor guards, except for Xia Yuanlong, you have the highest martial arts, you can take a few people to secretly visit Yilie Han County and Chaoge County for me, and come back as soon as possible to report to me......

The man in black still didn't say a word, just bowed his head slightly, "Do you need to report this matter to the commander?"

He was referring to Xia Yuanlong, the commander of the Black Armor Guard.

As a member of the clan, it is obvious that the people of the clan are more sensitive to this matter. The black armor guard is independent of the court situation, and only Wugong is loyal, but in the matter of the clan, it still needs to be very heavy, and if you are not careful, it is easy to fall into the handle.

Therefore, this matter cannot be entrusted to the people of the clan.

Lu Zhaoyi groaned slightly, and then shook his head.

"No, I don't have to. All you need is to find out the truth and get back as soon as possible, and I want to know who is behind all this."

"Yes!"

After the man in black left, Lu Zhaoyi sat down again, her eyes fell on the window, and she kept guessing.

"Who could it be?"

She was thinking that the door of the side hall had been pushed open, and several palace people who had stayed outside last night walked in with freshening utensils.

Seeing Lu Zhaoyi, the palace people saluted respectfully and put things away.

"Did Mrs. Lu sleep well last night?" Gong E put her things away and turned her head, her tone full of compliments.

"Good." Lu Zhaoyi responded lightly.

A smile appeared on Gong E's face, and then she said, "The slave maid will send you out of the palace after serving you after you finish grooming."

"It's not necessary, put things away, I'll do it myself......

The palace people looked at each other, as if they smiled meaningfully, and then helped her back to the dresser.

"Lu Niangzi, you are about to be the queen, you must get used to the slaves and maids waiting, if the slaves and maids can receive the grace of heaven in the future and enter the middle palace to serve you, the slaves and maids should be blessed, and they must serve you with all their hearts, right?"

As she spoke, Gong E's hands were not idle, waiting to freshen up. Z.br>

Lu Zhaoyi couldn't resist it, his eyebrows frowned slightly, but he didn't say much, so he let them go.

When everything was finished, another palace maid took a few steps closer, took off a cyan dress placed on the tray, and handed it to Lu Zhaoyi.

"Mrs. Lu, this is the palace dress given to you by His Majesty

…… Your Majesty said, "I have seen you wear this one many times, and it may be a little longer, so I will give you this new dress."

When she heard yes, her eyes fell on the dress, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

Where had she ever seen this dress?

She bowed her head and looked closely at the delicate embroidery on her dress, but she couldn't remember where she had seen such a pattern.

She stretched out her hand to take the dress, looked at Gong E's courteous smile, and her eyes condensed slightly, "I'll take it first, but I still have official business to deal with, so I'll change it now if I don't have time, I bother you to return for me, thank you, Your Majesty!" So saying, he got up and walked out.

In fact, when she saw this dress, she was alarmed and wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Her instincts kept telling her that there was something hidden in her that she didn't know.

She didn't want to have too many entanglements with these palace people.

But when the palace people saw her fleeing, their faces changed suddenly in an instant, and they immediately chased after her.

"Mrs. Lu, Your Majesty is also kind, why don't you change into new clothes and leave!"

"Yes, Mrs. Lu, how to say this dress is also a piece of His Majesty's heart, you try, you are so beautiful, you must look good in it!"

"Listen to the slaves!"

......

When Lu Zhaoyi heard these voices, his steps became more and more flustered, and he ran all the way to the outer hall, and saw a team of guards patrolling here, and the leader of this guard was the head of the Janissary who had seen many times in front of the palace gate.

"Mrs. Lu stayed overnight last night?" When the head of the sect saw her, he was a little dazed at first, but he quickly adjusted and respectfully bowed.

Perhaps in the heart of the sect leader, when he learned Lu Zhaoyi's identity that is known all over the world, he naturally had some similar thoughts.

Anyone knows that she is going to become *** in the future, and whoever sees it will not have a relationship, in case she can really take advantage of this to soar, maybe.

At this time, four or five palace people ran behind Lu Zhaoyi, panicked, and their movements were very suspicious, and the head of the sect immediately noticed that something was wrong.

After Lu Zhaoyi escaped, he took the cyan dress in his hand and asked the head of the sect.

"What do you see in this dress?"

The people in the back, seeing that the matter was about to be revealed, looked panicked one by one, and wanted to step forward to stop them, but these fierce faces did not dare to go up, standing in place, quietly waiting for death to come.

To say that the forbidden army is the patrol and garrison force in the palace, the big and small things in the palace must be well known, and many unknown secrets may not even be known to the emperor, but the janissaries know everything.

As for the story behind this dress, for them, it is really pediatric.

At the moment, the sect leader only glanced at it, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was extremely solemn, as if he was looking at a prisoner.

"To be honest, Mrs. Lu, who gave this thing to you, please tell me. Whoever tampers with this thing will be sent to prison and put to death."

As soon as Lu Zhaoyi heard it, he was sure, and sure enough, there was something greasy in it.

And before she could answer, several palace people behind her were shocked, and hurriedly ran over and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Lu Niangzi, this thing is not something that the slave wants to take, it is a noble concubine...... It was instructed by the noble concubines, and the slaves and maids also acted according to orders!"

Cai Zhengjun?

In this palace, the only concubine is Cai Zhengjun, isn't it?

She suddenly laughed, and couldn't help laughing in her heart, she was still not vigilant enough, and almost fell into Cai Zhengjun's trap.

This designation, the sect leader also instantly understood, sighed lightly, and ordered the group of jailers, "Someone will take them away!"

"Yes!"

A group of guards received orders one after another, and quickly stepped forward to restrain those people.

The palace people were immediately frightened and struggled desperately, but to no avail, they were soon dragged away.

"What are they going to do?" Lu Zhaoyi asked.

She is not a soft-hearted person, and there are not a few people who die at her hands, so it can only be said that they are unlucky

Good.

However, out of curiosity, she still asked more.

"Besides, what is this dress, and why can't it be moved?"

The head of the sect turned around and saw that her face was cold, but there was a strange light in her eyes.

"They, they will be interrogated by Zongzheng and Taiqu, and the final result will need Your Majesty's royal approval...... As for this skirt......" The head of the sect looked confused, looked around, and said cautiously.

"This thing is a gold silk brocade dress specially made by the first king and the craftsman. And in that year, the first king canonized the queen, that is, the current queen mother, and wore this dress to the altar with the first king to receive gifts. Until, now, Your Majesty is the emperor, and this regulation has been set for the queen's court."

Speaking of this, the sect leader's face changed slightly, and he suddenly leaned closer, lowered his head and whispered, "Lu Niangzi, you are the future queen of Dayuan, but before the official canonization, you wear this ...... After all, it's still trespassing."

Listening to the head of the sect talk about the past, Lu Zhaoyi also recalled that she had indeed seen it before, but she did not participate in the ceremony of Wu Gong's ascension to the throne back then, so she had no impression of the clothes worn by the original queen and today's queen mother.

"Thank you for your advice." Lu Zhaoyi took two steps back and gave a salute.

She handed the dress in her hand to the head of the sect, intending to leave the palace.

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered that the battle on the front line of Bingzhou was related to the recovery of Guluo City, and there was no result yet, so he wanted to remind Xia Pei a few words.

When she thought of the hat she wore yesterday, it was still in the side hall where she was sleeping, and she didn't have the heart to go back to get it.

No, she suddenly turned around and said to the head of the sect: "Before leaving the palace, I want to ask the head of the sect to go to the Taiji Hall to bring a message to His Majesty, is the head of the sect free?"

The head of the sect smiled, "Lu Niangzi is polite, in the future, in this palace, it will be your time to make the decision, how can you use it?"

He changed his words and smiled bitterly, "It's just that I'm free, Your Majesty is not!" Your Majesty is not in the Taiji Palace, but still in the Imperial Garden?"

"Early Dynasty?" Lu Zhaoyi frowned.

"Mrs. Lu, have you forgotten your life? Today is the tenth day of the first month......

After his reminder, Lu Zhaoyi suddenly realized that he wanted to come to the house for a long time to spend his free time, and forgot about the court meeting every ten days every month. At that moment, he slapped his head and shook his head, "That's okay, I'll go back and write a letter to Your Majesty, and when Your Majesty's early dynasty is over, I will hand over the head of the Labor Sect to Your Majesty."

The head grinned, "Good to say, easy to say!"

Turning back to the side hall where she had stayed last night, she took a pen and paper, hurriedly studied the ink, took the pen in her left hand, and wrote down her opinion on the recovery of Guluo City on the paper.

After writing, put down the pen and wait for the ink to dry a little, then put away the paper and handed it to the head of the sect.

"Lu Niangzi, I'll send you out of the palace, right? Your status is noble, and I am afraid that there will be bad people against you!" The head of the sect received the letter, and he tried his best to send it to him.

And Lu Zhaoyi listened, his willow eyebrows frowned, he was a little uncomfortable, stared at him, and said solemnly: "I haven't been canonized yet, take away all your thoughts."

But in the end, she was escorted by the guards and left the palace.

When she walked out of the palace gate, on the square of the gate, with the galloping horses, the mountains came towards her like a tsunami.

She was startled, and when she saw what was in front of her, she swallowed her saliva earnestly.

At this moment, in front of her, there were three carriages parked, all coming from different directions.
