Chapter 120: The Incident Ferments

As the saying goes, paper can't hold the fire, the whole Hanfeng Temple is such a big place, and there are so many people in the Hanfeng Temple now, Bi Yuntao tried his best to interpret the true colors of the hooligans, plus Bi Yuntao was like a ruffian, he scolded loudly without scruples, and it was difficult not to be discovered, and this matter immediately fermented quickly and spread throughout the entire Hanfeng Temple.

Meng Ruolang, the eldest son of the left prime minister who is very well-informed, was the first to know about this matter besides the emperor.

When he learned about this from his subordinates, his face was strange, he never thought that he was just a simple reminder that would provoke such a big reaction from Bi Yuntao.

That's right, he guessed Bi Yuntao's intention to do this, he deliberately acted it for others to see, and others could guess it with their toes, it was Meng Ruoxi. As for his sister, he, as a younger brother, knows her personality best.

His sister is good at everything, but her temperament is relatively big, especially after she established a relationship with King Qi by mistake, her sister became very jealous, even the newly accepted maid Xiaolan by the eldest brother's side, as long as the two of them are a little ambiguous, they are all jealous, it is simply a century-old vinegar walking in a jar!

The eldest brother must have seen this, and coupled with his own remind, he made this decision, the eldest brother was afraid that his sister would secretly retaliate against Xue Ruyue by taking advantage of his father's official position and power, and might even use this to threaten her family, so he deliberately cut off his sister's idea of preparing revenge.

But if you do this, how the relationship between the eldest brother and Xue Ruyue will be in the future can be said in two words.

Meng Ruolang pondered for a while, rolled his eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face, and then got up and walked towards Meng Ruoxi's room.

The emperor waved his hand and withdrew his subordinates, with a hint of shock on his face, he didn't expect that he, the fourth son of the wine bag and rice bag, would think of such an idea, but this idea was a little rancid!

But even so, the emperor's heart is full of relief, after all, his fourth son is full of women, and he knows where to pay attention to other things.

Although the starting point this time is also for women, no matter what, it is really difficult for him to think alone, rack his brains, and come up with an idea that is quite reasonable.

"Hahaha! I am so relieved! The emperor laughed out loud, and unconsciously thought of today's lunch, he looked at himself neither humbly nor arrogantly, his four emperors really haven't seen each other for a few days! It seems that some simple government affairs can be handed over to him in the future.

"Someone!" The emperor pondered for a moment and called Gonggong Gui, who was waiting outside.

"Your Majesty!" When Gonggong Gui heard the emperor's call, he hurriedly pushed the door in.

"Little Guizi, you send someone to Jinling City secretly to check on the Snow Maiden's family."

"Yes!" Gonggong Gui nodded yes, waited for a while, and saw that the emperor had no other instructions, so he quietly retreated, leaving the emperor alone with space to think.

But as soon as Father-in-law Gui quietly took a few steps back, and before he could open the door, he was stopped by the emperor.

"Wait!"

"I don't know what else the emperor has to order?!"

The emperor thought of some possibilities and said to Gonggong Gui: "If you find that someone has made a move on the Xue family, you can secretly take care of it and try not to reveal your identity." ”

When Gonggong Gui heard the emperor say this, he hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, the slave dares to ask, if the Xue family suffers a catastrophe, what should the slave do?" ”

When the emperor heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a cold light in his eyes, "What do you mean?!" ”

"Your Majesty, you don't know anything." Gonggong Gui hurriedly said what he knew, "The Xue family is not having a good time these days, so I came to find the queen mother to take care of it." ”

"Huh?! You dog minion! Why didn't you tell me earlier! The emperor was furious.

"The emperor forgives his sins!" Gonggong Gui hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "The queen mother told you about this before, the emperor didn't care at all, the queen mother saw that the emperor was like this, and she could only complain to the little one, so that the little one could find an opportunity to remind the emperor of you!" ”

When the emperor heard Gonggong Gui's explanation, his temperament disappeared a little, and he asked suspiciously: "You mean that the queen mother mentioned this matter to me?" When did she say that? Why don't I have any impression?! ”

"This ......" Father-in-law Gui was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to tell the truth or not.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it! You've been serving me for so many years, and you don't know my temper?! The emperor waved his hand, signaling that he had something to say.

Gonggong Gui considered the words for a while, and then slowly spoke. "Your Majesty, you are busy dealing with the government every day, and now it is the birthday of the Queen Mother, naturally you don't remember these trivial matters, the Queen Mother mentioned it during the meal, but the Emperor was busy dealing with the affairs of the Zuo Xiang at the time, so you didn't pay much attention to it!"

The emperor pondered for a while, only to realize that there seemed to be such a thing, but at the same time, he also had doubts in his heart, so he asked Gonggong Gui: "Since the Snow Maiden is here for this matter, why did she appear here to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday?" ”

"This ......" Gonggong Gui was also confused about this, "The emperor forgives the sin, the slave doesn't know!" ”

"That's it!" Seeing Gonggong Gui, he didn't know, the emperor waved his hand, "I'd better go and ask the queen!" ”

"The Snow Maiden is here to seek the help of the queen's mother, since the queen did not take the initiative to come to beg me, she must have her own plans, so you just don't know, you just need to observe secretly, tell me the truth, unless necessary, remember not to shoot!"

"Slaves obey!" Gonggong Gui kowtowed and received his orders.

"There's nothing for you to do here, you can step down!" The emperor waved away Gonggong Gui, and sat on the chair in contemplation.

Seeing this, Gonggong Gui also quietly retreated, did not dare to disturb more, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to deal with the matters explained by the emperor.

Just as this rumor was spreading, a sky-blue figure quietly crossed the air, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he dodged into a room.

"Concubine Niangniang!"

The imperial concubine, who was squinting and taking a nap, heard the visitor calling for herself, and slowly opened her eyes to look at the visitor.

"How's it going?"

The visitor did not answer, but his face was filled with regret and guilt.

"Look at you like this, it looks like you've failed!" The imperial concubine sneered, "It seems that you are nothing more than that!" Tao'er has already paved the way for you, and assassinating a cripple can even fail! That's how Your Majesty taught you?! ”

When the people heard the imperial concubine's reprimand, they wanted to justify, but after all, they failed in their mission, and the result was here, no matter how difficult the process was, it was meaningless. had no choice but to let the imperial concubine scold.

"What? Do you want to explain? The imperial concubine sneered when she saw that she wanted to speak and stopped.

"Then I'll give you a chance to explain, but this palace wants to hear how you failed!"

"If you go back to Niangniang, the slave and maid are not doing well, and I ask the concubine to punish her!" The person who came didn't explain, just bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

The imperial concubine sneered, glanced at her with cold eyes, and then lowered her head and took a sip of hot tea, "If this palace remembers correctly, before Tao'er met you, you pretended to be the person next to the third prince, and this time asked you to assassinate the third prince, you failed again, you said, how can you make me believe that you have nothing to do with the third prince!" ”

The more people listened to it, the more chills felt down their backs, and they swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, wanting to polish their dry throat, but the mouth was also very dry and there was no moisture.

"You'd better explain truthfully, don't think that you have Your Majesty behind you, relying on Tao'er to favor you, you can act arbitrarily and ignore the orders of this palace! Don't forget, what kind of person was Hongu before he got married! The imperial concubine looked at the visitor coldly, her eyes full of murderous intent.

"There is a saying that I don't know if you have heard of it, you will be killed in this palace, even if it reaches the ears of Your Majesty, presumably she will not have any complaints about this palace! You say yes! Yunlan! Oh no! To be more precise, you should be called Xia Lan! ”

The threat of the imperial concubine made Xiaolan's whole body cold, even if the afternoon sun shone on her body, she couldn't feel any temperature, she trembled all over, because she was afraid of the constant trembling, she just remembered that in the palace, whenever she talked about the imperial concubine, everyone talked about it.

Don't look at the beauty of the imperial concubine, when she was competing for power with His Majesty, her wrists could be described as iron-blooded, and her hands were filled with countless blood, killing people without blinking. There are even rumors that the people killed by the imperial concubine can easily fill a city. The cruelty of the means is that even His Majesty has to retreat, it is simply a female version of the killing god Bai Qi.

If it weren't for various reasons, the imperial concubine married into Huaxia, otherwise it is unknown whether the current emperor is His Majesty.

Now facing the threat of death, Xiaolan knows that if she can't explain clearly, I'm afraid that she will be unable to escape death, even if it reaches His Majesty's ears in the future, even if she is His Majesty's favorite slave, after learning that she died at the hands of the imperial concubine, she must not be a cheap maid and turn against the imperial concubine.

"Niangniang forgive the sin, Xiaolan is loyal to you and King Qi, the reason why Xiaolan failed, I really didn't expect that there were masters around the three princes, Xiaolan wanted to make a move several times, but every time she was discovered in advance by that person, Xiaolan observed for a few days, seeing that there was not much time, she decided to make a rash move, but she almost fell into his hands, if she hadn't been rescued by Meng Ruolang, maybe Niangniang wouldn't have seen Xiaolan."

Little Lancer cowered to the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy, even his voice trembling.

"Huh?!" When the imperial concubine heard Xiaolan's explanation, she sighed, looked at Xiaolan suspiciously, and asked, "You mean that there is a master by the side of the third prince to protect him?" And you were almost captured by him, the reason why you were able to escape was because Meng Ruolang came to the rescue? ”

"Yes, Guifei Niangniang, what Xiaolan said is true!" Xiaolan fell to the ground in fear and didn't dare to raise her head.

"Master?" The imperial concubine muttered softly, stared at Xiaolan who was lying on the ground, pondered for a long time, and then asked, "Why did Meng Ruolang appear where did he appear?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the slave maid also asked Meng Gongzi, he said that the king of Qi asked him to help find some smoke for him, and he didn't know what the king of Qi used it for, and he also warned the slave and maid not to tell others."

"Bang!" The imperial concubine's palms were heavily lined up on the table, Xiaolan was so frightened by the sudden sound that she didn't even dare to breathe, and her body kept swinging.

"This stinky boy, I'm so angry with my mother! is full of women every day, and now you dare to use these indiscriminate things, see how I clean you up! ”

Xiaolan was relieved when she heard that the object of the imperial concubine's anger was not herself.

"No matter what the reason for this matter, failure is failure, this palace has always only looked at the result, not the process, and read it for the sake of you still having some use, this time I will spare your life." The imperial concubine stood up angrily, "What are you still kneeling for?!" Why don't you hurry up and go with the palace to find King Qi! ”
