Chapter 232
The carriage stopped in front of King Yun's mansion, the guards lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Zhuang Mengdie got off the carriage carelessly with Xiao Gu's support.
The lantern in front of the door of King Yun's mansion is hung high, illuminating the courtyard as bright as day, this King Yun's mansion covers an extremely wide area, and it is the most popular Zhuang Fuyao of Empress Zhuang, and her mansion is only half the size of King Yun's mansion. But this may also be related to the fact that although Zhuang Fuyao himself is arrogant and domineering, he is not obsessed with pleasure. Of course, this also reflects the extravagance of King Yun's daily life from the side. It can be seen from the Yunwang Mansion, which is not inferior to the palace with carved beams and paintings, and heavy eaves and buildings.
The guards waiting in front of the gate of King Yun's Mansion saw Zhuang Mengdie get out of the carriage, and immediately opened the heavy vermilion gate of the palace, and several maids greeted him with yellow gauze palace lamps, and hugged Zhuang Mengdie to King Yun's mansion.
Entering King Yun's mansion, a maid stopped Xiao Gu beside Zhuang Mengdie, and said with a smile: "King Yun only invited the three highnesses, and the idle people also invited the slaves and maids to the side hall for tea." ”
Zhuang Mengdie's personal maid was unceremoniously called an idle person in front of her, Zhuang Mengdie's face couldn't help but be gloomy, but at this time she was in Yunwang's Mansion, she was not easy to attack, as long as she wrinkled her slender eyebrows, and instructed Xiaogu to wait in the side hall, and she followed a few maidservants who led the way in front of her, and was followed by more than a dozen guards into the inner courtyard of Yunwang's Mansion.
Along the way, the palace lamps in two rows are staggered, there are hundreds, they spit fireworks, the winding forest paths, the corridor corridors are illuminated as bright as day, all the way quietly, the huge palace, in the place where Zhuang Mengdie passed, in addition to the cluster, even the shadow of a subordinate can not be seen.
A total of more than 20 servants, maidservants and guards, led Zhuang Mengdie to the garden gate of the palace and stopped, "King Yun will hold a banquet in the garden to wait for the third highness, and the slaves will retire." The leading maid bowed to Zhuang Mengdie and then retreated, and the rest of the maidservants also retreated, and more than a dozen guards stood guard outside the garden.
The water pavilion in the corner of the garden is facing the wind, it is a good place to enjoy the moon scenery in the autumn air, King Yun is sitting in the pavilion at the moment, he has faded the complicated court clothes of the day and wears casual clothes, the robe is loose and half-open, and a few small dishes and fresh fruits are neatly placed on the stone table in front of him.
When King Yun heard Zhuang Mengdie's footsteps, he waved away a singer who was playing and singing on the side, and greeted Zhuang Mengdie with a smile: "Mengdie is here, hurry, you can also taste this good osmanthus brew." ”
Yang Chengyun is in power, since Empress Zhuang is sick in bed, since he was regent in the court, how have anyone seen him smile, Zhuang Mengdie and this King Yun in the past is even more rarely intersected, she replied to King Yun a polite smile, called him uncle and sat down generously.
Seeing Zhuang Mengdie sitting down, King Yun personally poured a glass of wine for her and handed it to Zhuang Mengdie.
With the action of King Yun handing over the wine, something that fell out of his wide sleeve attracted Zhuang Mengdie's attention. It was a neatly folded piece of paper, and even if it was folded, the ink on the back of the paper could be faintly seen.
This is Lin Yuanxiao's letter. King Yun noticed Zhuang Mengdie's gaze, put the letter in his sleeve, and said lightly.
Zhuang Mengdie took the wine cup from King Yun's hand and sipped it slowly, she couldn't guess King Yun's intentions for a while, obviously, this letter fell out of King Yun's sleeve at this time, and King Yun didn't wait for her to ask, but took the initiative to tell that it was a letter from Zhuang Fuyao's father Lin Yuanxiao, which must have his intentions.
King Yun leisurely poured himself a drink, Zhuang Mengdie waited for him to continue on the topic of Lin Yuanxiao's letter, but he only cared about beckoning Zhuang Mengdie to drink and eat, and did not say anything else, as if he was really just holding a banquet for Zhuang Mengdie to have a small gathering, as those guards said.
After drinking wine silently with King Yun for a while, the cold wind by the lake blew, Zhuang Mengdie couldn't help coughing a few times, she put down the wine cup in her hand, gathered the light cyan robe, and asked in a low voice after the cough stopped: "Uncle, isn't this General Lin a hidden in the rivers and lakes, and there has been no news for a long time?"
"Lin Yuanxiao's martial arts are extremely high, and he is elusive in the rivers and lakes, this time I heard that Fuyao actually did such a rebellious thing as poisoning his mother and killing his king, so he naturally refused to believe it, no, as soon as this king woke up, this letter appeared next to this king's pillow. King Yun said with a long breath, if it was someone else, who could wait to ignore it? The other party actually had the ability to enter the palace without knowing it, and put the letter next to the pillow, if it was to take someone's life, it would naturally be no problem.
Lin Yuanxiao really did a good job, Zhuang Mengdie was secretly frightened in his heart, if he knew that he and Zhuang Feiyu had teamed up to frame Zhuang Fuyao, and he also intended to burn Zhuang Fuyao to death in her mansion, presumably Lin Yuanxiao would come to the door sooner or later.
"The imperial sister poisoned and killed her mother, the crime is unforgivable, my uncle let the imperial sister leave like this that day, if she is not investigated, how can she give justice to the mother and the emperor, and give an explanation to the next one in Tianxuan Kingdom?" Although Zhuang Mengdie is afraid of Lin Yuanxiao's skills, if Zhuang Fuyao does not die, even if she sits on the throne of Tianxuan Kingdom, she is afraid that she will not be able to sit in this position. Cutting grass should be eradicated, Zhuang Mengdie is not unaware of this.
Although Lin Yuanxiao acted uninhibitedly, he had long been hidden in the rivers and lakes and did not ask about the affairs of the court, but Zhuang Fuyao's poisoning and killing of his mother was very popular, even if she had escaped from the imperial city, she was still a sinner who killed her mother and killed the king. Lin Yuanxiao was righteous and said to the king in the letter that the reason why Fuyao committed such a big crime was because he did not fulfill his responsibility to teach his father, and he asked for a martyrdom for Her Majesty the Empress, and only asked the king to let Fuyao go. King Yun put down the wine cup in his hand and said slowly.
"What does Uncle think?" Zhuang Mengdie's heart was shocked, he didn't expect that Lin Yuanxiao, who had disappeared, would suddenly find King Yun's mansion, and made such a request, in order to leave his daughter a way to live, he actually asked for the funeral of Empress Zhuang, whom he had not wanted to see for more than ten years. But Lin Yuanxiao doesn't care what Zhuang Mengdie does, what she cares about is that if Zhuang Fuyao doesn't die, after this incident, she will never be the simple-minded Zhuang Fuyao before, and when the time comes, she will definitely become a big trouble in her heart.
What's more, Zhuang Fuyao's poisoning and killing of his mother was not out of her original intention, but was instigated by her and Zhuang Feiyu, and she was not the blood of Empress Zhuang, if these things that cannot be known are revealed to the world one day, the consequences will be unimaginable.
