Chapter 111: Sanction Empress Dowager Zhou
Yongning Palace.
The two of them were sleeping in Zhengxiang, and suddenly heard a noise outside, and heard someone shouting: "There are assassins, protect the emperor!" β
Zhu Jianshen sat up suddenly, was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Where is the assassin? β
As he spoke, he put on his shoes, but he didn't have time to put on his robe, and he was about to go out with only a small coat.
"Don't go, Your Majesty." Zhen'er hurriedly grabbed his hand and said hurriedly: "Let's find out the situation first." β
She quickly got dressed and shouted, "Come in and report!" β
"Slaves don't dare."
"Get in!" Zhu Jianshen shouted.
"Yes..."The door was pushed open, and the eunuch on duty hurried in, "Slave and maid see ......"
"Less nonsense, where are the assassins, how many are there?" Zhu Jianshen shouted angrily, "What the hell are you doing to eat, so that you can let the young people break into the palace?" β
Zhen'er was more rational and asked, "Did you notify someone to escort you, and did the assassin catch it?" β
The eunuch on duty hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, Niangniang, the slave and maid don't know where the assassin is or how many people there are, but I just heard someone shouting...... The slave maid has already sent someone to inform the Admiral, as well as the commander of the Ouchi guard......"
But at this moment, there was another commotion: "Misunderstanding, not the assassin." β
Zhu Jianshen was even more angry, gritted his teeth and walked out, and Zhen'er was busy following.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhu Jianshen pointed to the little eunuch who was the most cheerful, "You, come forward and answer!" β
"It's... The slave obeys. The little eunuch shrank down, stepped forward and kowtowed respectfully, "Back to the emperor, it was the queen mother who had a nightmare, thinking that someone had assassinated her, and the slave maid who didn't open her eyes didn't understand the situation, so she yelled and shouted......"
The little eunuch tried to explain what had happened......

Half an hour ago, Kunning Palace.
Empress Dowager Zhou was sleeping soundly, and suddenly felt out of breath, and opened her eyes quietly.
In an instant, her eyes were opened to the maximum limit, her pupils suddenly contracted, her eye sockets were almost occupied by the whites of her eyes, and her chin was about to be dislocated...... Fear engulfed her whole.
The young man was dressed in dark pants, his long black hair was windless, and under the bright moonlight, his face was extremely white, without a trace of human color...... What frightened Zhou even more was that his whole person was suspended.
The evil aura of that body seemed to come from the sea of blood mountains and corpses, and the eyes that were as black as ink did not contain a trace of emotion, like the Ten Palaces of Yama...... No, this is the Ten Hall Yamas.
The Ten Palaces Yama personally came to ask for her life......
The man in black hung in the air, leaned forward, and just looked at her, looking at her coldly......
This scene is far beyond the limit that the pampered Empress Dowager Zhou can bear, her hair is fluffy, her heart is twitching, her face is protruding, her eyes are rolling and rolling, but she just can't faint.
She wanted to shout, but couldn't; She tried to cover herself, but she couldn't move; Even his eyes can't be closed, and he can only passively look at the man in black.
The man in black said coldly: "As the queen mother, you are only for personal gain, completely ignoring the Ming Dynasty and the society, I came to sanction you on the orders of the orthodox emperor." β
The man in black said, his body fell to the ground freely, and he stepped forward slowly, his slender fingers stretched out from his sleeves, choking her throat, and gradually exerting force......
'Ho-ho-ho-......! Empress Dowager Zhou let out a faint breath sound, her breathing became more and more difficult, and her pale face quickly turned red.
She clearly sensed that death was approaching step by step......
However, she can't do anything without words and deeds, so she can only passively accept her fate.
She didn't want to die, she wanted to beg for mercy......
Her vision was blurred a little bit, her thinking was a little stiff, she gradually lost her strength, and her trembling body slowly calmed down.
Just before she lost consciousness, she vaguely heard: "This time I will take away your soul and soul first, if you are obsessed with it again, you will not be forgiven." β
β¦
"Ah~!"
The terrible screams pierced the night sky, alarming the palace maids who were waiting to come in and serve at any time in the outer hall, as well as the eunuchs on duty nearby.
Soon, a palace maid screamed: "There are assassins! β
These three words are too exciting, and they came and went one after another in an instant, and when the eunuch leader on duty heard this, his scalp exploded in an instant, and he immediately asked people to warn the emperor, and then rushed into Kunning Palace with a roar.
When he arrived at the dormitory, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Empress Dowager Zhou is still alive, but it's just ...... She was covered in a covers, unable to tell what was going on with her.
In the dormitory, the frightened voice of the Empress Dowager Zhou was full: "Don't take me away, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, spare my life......"
Keep repeating ......
No matter how the palace maids around tried to persuade her, it was to no avail, and the Empress Dowager Zhou wrapped herself tightly and played hard.
The eunuch on duty looked left and right, the furnishings of the dormitory were normal, and the doors and windows were not abnormal, and he instantly concluded that the Queen Mother had a nightmare.
He hurriedly verified, and sure enough, the palace ladies all said that they did not see the shadow of the assassin, and they heard the screams and came in.
There are assassins, and they also shout after others when they hear others, but no one admits that they are the first to shout.
Seeing this, he still didn't understand that it was an oolong.
Thinking of the consequences of shocking the Holy Driver, his heart and liver trembled, and he hurriedly asked his godson to clarify, but he was dedicated and loyal, and stayed by the Queen Mother's side to comfort him softly......
~
"Bastard, what are you yelling about without understanding the situation?"
While Zhu saw that he was furious, he also breathed a sigh of relief slightly, if someone could really enter the palace in the middle of the night after locking the palace, then he wouldn't sleep.
When safety cannot be guaranteed, who can sleep?
Zhen'er asked, "What did the Queen Mother say after waking up from a nightmare, and how is the situation?" β
The eunuch who came to clarify was scolded by the emperor and was anxious, and hurriedly replied when he heard the words: "Back to Niangniang, the Queen Mother said...... Uh, the slave doesn't dare. β
"I want you to say it!"
ββ¦β¦ The Queen Mother said: Don't take me away, I won't dare to ...... anymore. The little eunuch stubbornly said, "The queen mother was so frightened that she covered herself with a quilt and refused to take it off, and the slave didn't know what happened to the queen mother." β
Refreshing! It's so cool! ΞΠΈΠͺ.ΕΞοΌ§
The old woman has finally been rewarded......
Zhen'er's thoughts are so good that she almost climaxes in her skull.
For a while, she was not sleepy, and she couldn't wait to see her mother-in-law's ugliness.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is too frightened, let's go and take a look?" Zhen'er tried to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth, looking anxious.
The matter is so big, Zhu Jianshen naturally has to go and see it, although he has no feelings for his mother, he has to do a face project.
"Well, let's go."

Kunning Palace.
Zhu Jianshen and Zhen'er came hand in hand, and many people gathered in the dormitory, including several concubines such as Queen Wang and Concubine Bai, and the bedside was surrounded by water.
"Long live my emperor and slaves."
The saluting sound of the maid of the first palace attracted everyone's attention.
Then, she fell to her knees.
Zhu Jianshen waved his hand and said depressedly: "Go out, go out." β
"Yes."
Soon, a group of slaves and maids withdrew, and the dormitory was immediately cleaned, leaving only Queen Wang, Concubine Xian Bai, Concubine Chen, Concubine Shao, Concubine Zhang, and Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er.
There are not many women in Zhu Jianshen, at least not now, including Miss Li and the deposed Empress Wu, there are only seven people.
For the emperor, this amount was not large.
The girls bowed slightly, their faces were worried, full of concern, "Your Majesty, the queen mother is ......"
"Yes, I see." Zhu Jianshen stepped forward and squatted down, frowned, and said, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" β
Xu was startled by the man's voice, and the quilt, which had almost calmed down, shook quickly, and then, a muffled howl sounded:
"Ghosts, there are ghosts, don't take me away, I know ...... wrong"
It's so cool...... Zhen'er was secretly happy.
However, at the same time, it is also a little painful, and it is too uncomfortable to hold back and not laugh.
"Queen Mother, there are no ghosts, it's me!" Zhu Jian patiently comforted, "What did you dream of?" β
Zhou: "Wrong, wrong......"
Zhu Jianshen: "......"
Helpless, he had no choice but to look at the queen and the others, "Queen, what did the queen mother say before I came?" β
Queen Wang shook her head lightly: "Your Majesty, when the concubines came, the queen mother was already like this, and the concubines also asked the slaves and maids, and they were the same when they came." β
At this time, Concubine Chen said cautiously: "Your Majesty, is it the cat in the palace, what ...... has been attracted?"
"What nonsense?" The queen glared at her.
"The concubine lost her words." Concubine Chen hurriedly lowered her head and said no more.
Zhen'er said: "Concubine Chen may be right, concubines often hear that black cats are ominous, and the one raised by the queen mother is pure black...... It's mad to look at. β
Zhu Jianshen doesn't believe in this set very much, but he always has to show an attitude: "Catch someone and kill him!" β
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is unlucky." Concubine Chen believes in this set more, "A cat has nine lives, and if you kill one and eight, in case it holds a grudge...... It's better to send it out of the palace. β
With that, she lowered her head again.
Zhen'er glanced at her: You talk a lot, but it doesn't matter, as long as you take away the old woman's heart treasure and make her uncomfortable.
"What Concubine Chen said also makes sense."
Zhu Jianshen waved his hand irritably: "Send it away, send it away!" β
"Mother, Mother......"

small courtyard,
Li Qing took off his night clothes, took a shower, and looked in the mirror to restore his 'original' appearance little by little.
He didn't kill Zhou because he was soft-hearted, nor was he afraid that he would kill the Empress Dowager Zhou and set himself on fire, he had a way to make Zhou die a 'normal' death;
If you don't kill it, you are afraid that after the death of the Zhou family, there will be no one to suppress the favored Wan Zhen'er.
Now Wan Zhen'er is duty, it is because there are people above, and if they really want to clear the obstacles for her, it is not yet known what will happen.
Li Qing doesn't have to, and he doesn't want to break the existing pattern, it's not a good thing for the harem family to be dominant.
Of course, he can also kill Wan Zhen'er, but ...... This woman has a very great influence on Zhu Jianshen, and it is easy to kill, but after killing, ...... It's tricky.
In this regard, Li Qing was also very helpless.
Who made this ...... Daming's first affectionate too.
Zhu Jianshen was very satisfied with him in all aspects, and he didn't want to cause Zhu Jianshen to collapse because of a woman.
In that case, it would be too much to lose.
Li Qing is not fond of Zhu Jianshen, but for the sake of the overall situation......
