Emperor Que Shaohua

Luo Yanhua stood there silently, but Guan Ling was actually sent to Chonghua Palace City.It's not that he hasn't thought about this possibility, but it's not easy to bring a young man into the palace to hide without anyone noticing it, and release it at the right time without making people suspicious.

But why is it the fifth watch?At that time, the gate of the palace was still closed. Even if the lightness kung fu was as outstanding as Tan Huayu, it was impossible to bring a person who could not move in and out at will, and Tan Huayu did not participate.

But at the next moment, he suddenly thought that there is indeed a way to smuggle Guan Ling into the imperial city, because the palace gates are locked at night, and only around five o'clock, the corner gates in the palace will be opened briefly, in order to Let the waterwheels coming back from Xishan enter to supply the needs of the nobles in Ouchi the next day.With Luo Wenxiao's secret assistance, it was not difficult to complete this matter.

Once he figured out this section, the whole picture of the whole scheme appeared in his mind instantly.From last night until this morning, Li Pinglan was dragged out of the city by Venerable Hangu and Tan Huayu, while Guan Ling was smuggled into the palace and handed over to the subordinates of the Kunlun Mansion who sneaked in at the same time, maybe it was Ji Wuya himself, and then made some manipulations However, Guan Ling would be regarded as a night thief who repeatedly broke into the palace for many days, captured by the imperial guards, and presented to Emperor Tianyi.

Judging from what Tan Huayu said just now, although he helped out in it, he may only have a rough idea of ​​Ji Wuya's plan, and he doesn't understand the inner intentions, at least he doesn't know the meaning of the fifteenth day of the month, so he asked himself Inform Guan Ling of whereabouts.Presumably Ji Wuya was wary of his junior brother who was also a Dharma protector, but he didn't expect that he would let his key point be revealed.

It was almost noon, and the operation in the Kunlun Mansion had long since ended, but there was no movement in the palace so far, not even the news of the burglars appearing.But this is even more ominous.

The Kunlun Mansion wanted to create the illusion that Guan Ling sneaked in to steal medicine, so it should not hurt him. This may be the only consolation, but once he is charged with the crime, it will be more or less ominous.

Luo Yanhua took a deep breath, feeling a little heavy in his heart, he had to prepare for the worst, because this time, what Ji Wuya planned was the unpredictable and obvious heart of Emperor Tianyi.Even if the Kunlun Mansion's plan is implemented smoothly, there are still obvious flaws in the whole matter, but whether he is willing to see the truth still depends on the emperor's own attitude, just like ten years ago.

He sat down at the table and thought silently.Ji Wuya carefully chose the timing and set up a rather vicious situation, and he only had a few hours left to deal with it.

"Director Yang, get on the carriage, I'll go to the palace in half an hour," he said.

When Yang Yue heard about Guan Ling's news, he understood a little bit, and his expression changed for a while, so he could only go out calmly and give orders, according to the usual practice, to ride in the imperial chariot in the middle of the month.

"A Su," Jing Wang said again, "I will encounter some troubles this trip, I have to bring Xiao Ling back. You don't want to go with me, help me find Lin Pian, maybe it can turn things around a bit."

Up to now, he must try his best, he can't stop here, the important things have not been finished, the relatives and subordinates who have passed away are waiting, Xiaoling also needs him to save.The opponent is betting on Emperor Tianyi's thoughts, and he can only accompany him.Whether he can win life for himself and Guan Ling depends on God's will. As long as there is a mistake in the speculation just now, and there is no mistake in being caught, everything may be irreversible.

He concentrated on filtering the details in his mind, instructed Qin Su carefully for a moment, and finally said: "Don't look for Ping Yuan, no matter what happens, don't let Ping Yuan get involved. If something happens, he will Take care of Langhuan and finish things for me."

Qin Su's stern eyes trembled imperceptibly, and he nodded, but he didn't move, but stood silently.

"A Su, what I said is just in case, nothing will happen." Luo Yanhua said with a smile, holding his hand, feeling a little cold in his always warm palm.He said softly: "I have always done what I promised you, so don't worry too much. Now go to Linpian, I have to give you a few orders before leaving."

"Enter the palace after lunch," Qin Su said.

Luo Yanhua nodded in agreement, Qin Su stretched out his arms and hugged his shoulders before turning and leaving.

At noon, King Jing got into the four-horse carriage that always made him feel too extravagant and flamboyant, and headed for Chonghua Palace.Even though he especially wanted to take the green caravan in the mansion today, he still held back, this time entering the palace, no matter whether Emperor Tianyi believed it or not, he had to act as if he didn't know about it, just like Tan Huayu never revealed the news.

At the same time, Li Pinglan, who got rid of Master Hangu, returned to Chonghua Palace. He had just learned the whole story of the incident and was summoned to the king; The servant who came to invite him from the Hou Mansion was waiting carefully outside.

Qin Su rushed to Prince Yun's mansion and found that the fourth prince was not in the mansion.This is not the first time he has come here. When he asked a trusted acquaintance, he told Luo Linpian that he had left Los Angeles early in the morning, went to the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing to visit eminent monks, and would not return home until tomorrow.

"It's really a coincidence, Qin guard will come back tomorrow, His Highness should be back." The confidant said apologetically.

Qin Su remained silent for a while, asked where King Ming Yun was going, asked for another fast horse, and hurried to the outskirts of the city.

In Dingjianhou's mansion, Lin Chen was sitting on the bed with a medicine bowl, bored as usual, chatting casually with his mother who came to visit, complaining that there was a magpie outside the window making him upset; when Madam Dingjianhou turned his back and went When he saw it, he quickly poured the soup brought by his mother on the potted plant by the bed.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, King Jing patted the heads of the two servants, considering that Gu Yu would be uncomfortable waiting for only Gu Yu in the carriage, so he brought Qingming along.

Just as he got out of the car, a servant at the palace gate immediately stepped forward: "Your Highness, Mr. Wu is waiting here for the villain. When you arrive, I will go to the outer room of the imperial study to wait for the order."

King Jing nodded and didn't answer. This should be the meaning of Emperor Tianyi. The servant in front of him looked respectful, but there was no smile on his face, and there were two imperial guards behind him.

He followed the three of them towards the palace gate, and saw a group of guards waiting not far away, all wearing the mark of Prince An's Mansion on their bodies, so he knew that Luo Junping was in the palace.

Walking on the smooth imperial road of the Chonghua Palace, the servant was leading the way, and the two imperial guards followed behind calmly, forming an angle, which was clearly the way to escort the imperial convicts.Occasionally, some maids and servants walked by nearby, but they all lowered their heads and hurriedly avoided, not daring to look in this direction, and couldn't help peeking out of the corners of their eyes.

It seems that everything is as expected, since the five o'clock this morning, I have been treated as a sinner in the eyes of Emperor Tianyi, King Jing thought lightly.It's just that he made a fuss over a molehill, grabbed a sixteen or seventeen-year-old Guan Ling, and didn't throw away the antidote, making Chonghua Palace like Dali Temple.

Given today's situation, Luo Wenxiao couldn't help but not enter the palace to help Emperor Tianyi make up his mind to get rid of him. The reason why he hasn't arrived yet is probably because he was preparing to calm down and come back later to reap the results of the battle, but he sent King An to scout out the news first. .

Luo Yanhua's heart has returned to silence.No matter how turbulent the atmosphere in the palace was, it was nothing compared to what it was back then.

The imperial study room is not a single study room. In addition to the inner hall where the emperor criticizes and governs daily, there are layers of libraries and waiting rooms on the outside. There are more than ten stacked rooms.King Jing went to none of them, he was ushered into a very small side room.

The servant took his leave and closed the door behind him, with two imperial guards standing outside.Luo Yanhua looked around, but saw that there were only three or four steps in length and breadth, and there were no furnishings, not even a chair. He said he was waiting for an order, so he could only stand there.

From the moment he arrived at the palace gate, every arrangement he encountered showed a casual deterrence, and he didn't explain anything. Emperor Tianyi knew very well how to make people surrender without a fight.

Luo Yanhua walked slowly in the small room for a few steps, then stood quietly and waited.There were still three hours before the onset of poison on Wushi's body. The emperor wanted to question the crime, but he didn't want to make it public. He didn't know how to arrange this time.Li Pinglan must have returned to the palace, with him around, Xiao Ling should be safe for the time being, who will interrogate her?

Half an hour later, the door opened, Wu Yong came in with no expression on his face, bowed slightly and saluted: "His Royal Highness has been waiting for a long time, our family has obeyed His Majesty's order, and we have a few questions to ask. If you answer truthfully, God will Grace is mighty, even if there is thunder and thunder, there is still a chance of returning to life; if there is even the slightest evasion, denial or falsehood, the power of heaven will be furious, and even a god will be hard to save, I hope your highness will be cautious."

If these words fall into the ears of others, it is inevitable that the words are abrupt, but the two people in the room understand the deep meaning.King Jing smiled lightly, if he pleaded guilty, he would be doomed to death, how can a person be resurrected after death, if the grace of God is really great, it is enough to say forgiveness, why is there a need to return to life?Wu Yong's words really had a bit of good intentions, faintly revealing Emperor Tianyi's murderous intentions, Lei Ting furious Yun Yun, reminded himself to be careful not to provoke the emperor again.

"I'm sorry, Manager Wu," he said, "I entered Chonghua today, but I feel the majesty of heaven everywhere, and I don't know what the imperial father has ordered, so I must tell the truth without any concealment."

Wu Yong saw that his expression understood, so he walked to the side of the house, stood facing south, and said sharply: "Luo Yanhua, are you guilty?"

Emperor Tianyi was in the imperial study room, stacks of memorials were piled up on the desk, and a plate full of fresh fruits was placed on the side. When King An entered the palace, he brought more than a dozen baskets of fruits from southern countries to show his filial piety, which is quite rare in the early spring season. .Perhaps this was also the reason why Emperor Tianyi didn't rush him to leave, but let him talk with him.

But his complexion, which had been gloomy for a long time, did not improve much. He was not interested in touching the memorials and fruits. A few days ago, he was kidnapped by the Kunlun Mansion in collaboration with Beiliao. He was locked up for a day and hit the sleeping point. When he woke up, he was arrested by the Yulin Guard. He didn't know how he got into the palace, and he didn't know what he was here for. , not to mention how the stolen goods on his head were obtained, and of course there is no need to confess to his accomplices or admit his crimes. My imperial guards have been busy catching thieves all morning, and they have captured such an innocent person."

At the end, he casually threw the confession in his hand to the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Commander Li has been interrogating for an hour, so why don't you show me such a confession?"

Luo Junping didn't know the whole story of the incident. Although the crown prince classified him as a party, he suspected that there were too many people in the conspiracy with the Kunlun Mansion and even Beiliao, so how could he take the initiative to tell him what he knew.Today, when I came to say hello, it was Luo Wenxiao who secretly sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that King Jing's secret guards had sneaked into the palace with the intention of committing crimes, and they were caught right away.King An happily entered the palace to watch the excitement, intending to wait for an opportunity to add fuel to the flames and make things worse.

When I went to the palace to be courteous, the situation was mixed. Hearing what Emperor Tianyi said at this moment, he felt that he hadn't been so happy in a long time. I read history with the Taifu. Since ancient times, I have never heard of any assassin who was knocked out and sent to the palace. I don’t know how to make up this set of rhetoric. He committed a heinous crime and wanted to deceive the king. Really The crime is a class higher." In the words, the thief has been promoted to an assassin, and he could have done more, but he will inevitably offend Li Pinglan, so he tried his best to restrain him, and then smiled: "Guan Ling, my son, has also done something. I heard that even though he is young, he is very light-hearted. Brother Dahuang values ​​it very much. If he was really captured by the enemy, he would naturally be beaten or killed. How could he be released intact? He was still alive and kicking when he was captured by Vice Commander Yuan, which shows that he must It's a lie."

"How can a young man of sixteen or seventeen have such scheming, it seems that I still underestimated the ability of the First Prince." Emperor Tianyi sneered.

"Report to Your Majesty," Li Pinglan glanced at King An. He was transferred from the mountain by the Northern Liao Dynasty and dragged out of the city sooner or later. Hearing Luo Junping's innuendo, his heart was already sullen, but his expression was still as usual, "That young man It doesn't seem to be a lie, I'm afraid there may be something different between the minister and Vice Commander Yuan."

When she asked alone just now, Guan Ling was extremely vigilant, if she was not worried about King Jing's situation and knew herself well, she would not have said anything.

He had already made preparations before reporting back, and took out another handwritten letter from his sleeve, which was Yuan Xusheng's analysis of the situation at that time: "The Royal Guards take His Majesty's safety as their own responsibility, and they cannot lightly indulge doubts, let alone let Xiao Xiao take advantage of them. Your Majesty ordered a thorough investigation, and I will make the truth come to light."

When Emperor Tianyi held it in his hand and looked at it, it described in detail how the guards of the imperial forest were led to the side hall, found Guan Ling, and then captured them, and how the man in black deliberately drank loudly, and then escaped alone, raising doubts one by one.He looked at ten lines at a glance, and put it aside.He wanted Li Pinglan to confirm the crime of King Jing, but Yu Linwei's judgment was contrary to his own intentions. However, according to this argument, Guan Ling was ignorant, how did he get into the Chonghua Palace? How did the man in black know the terrain in the palace so well, and I raised many imperial guards for nothing? Commander Li showed me these , Do you want to be a guarantor for the First Prince?"

The words already have the meaning of punishing one's heart. Given how much he relied on Li Pinglan, he seldom said such heavy words.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, but I'm only a bystander, so I will tell you the truth." Li Pinglan's expression did not fluctuate, he paused for a while, and then said calmly, "His Royal Highness Prince Jing has made many enemies for the country, and Beiliao already hates him to the bone. All he can rely on is His Majesty's trust, once he sees doubts, his life is at stake. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianyi couldn't prevent him from saying that, Li Pinglan never said much, and once he spoke, it carried a lot of weight.A strange discomfort welled up in his heart, just like hearing Yuan Xusheng's report in the morning, even if Luo Yanhua wanted an antidote, why didn't he rush to today?Now there is not even time to maneuver, and it really is an instant.

He clasped the desk with his knuckles, but the evil fire in his heart couldn't be quelled, even he couldn't figure out why he was so angry.Perhaps after many years, assassins entered the palace again, and they were once again connected with Beiliao and the eldest son of the emperor.

Ever since Luo Yanhua drank Bihai Chengxin, he had slightly calmed down his hatred for Queen Langhuan and the complicated emotions that had been entrenched in his heart for a long time, but now he became boiling again with the word "antidote".

Time passed, the past faded away, and the scene of seeing Jiang Biyao for the last time would still uncontrollably come back to my mind.

From the support of the young couple all the way, my only queen did not drift away and finally became divorced, but betrayed from the very beginning. After getting along with the deception for nearly 20 years, this humiliation is enough to make the mountains and rivers change color and blood drifting pestle.

At that moment, there was no pain or sorrow in the queen's eyes, as if the tears, struggles, and expectations never existed, and all that remained was self-restraint and arrogance.It is the last reservation in her life. Even if she suffers a catastrophic defeat and is doomed, she still has to choose that ridiculous dignity.The pupils of the formerly bright Ruo Qiushui had lost their brilliance, but when they looked at each other indifferently, there was no sign of repentance or shame, but rather pity.

The emperor sneered, what dignity does a woman who has done such a thing have?

Afterwards, the silent confrontation finally turned into a pleading, it was for her child, Luo Shenhua who was almost destined to succeed Yu Zhou.Twenty years of dedicated support and dedication, she thinks and does not herself as a prince or emperor. Of course, she is willing to work hard day and night, just because this great country will belong to Luo Shenhua one day. The evil breed with the surname Luo.

Dreaming back at midnight, when the past came to mind, the anger of jealousy and the resentment of being deceived were still blazing, but the emperor had gradually realized that he was also rejoicing at the same time.Luo Shenhua was only 17 years old when he found out about the queen's infidelity. He was ignorant, caught off guard, and didn't have enough ability to fight against him. A few years later, with deep roots and lush leaves, he was not sure that he would still be able to win.

Ten years passed in a flash, and the emperor suddenly realized that although Jing Wang Luo Yanhua was like a pool of still water, the soft brilliance would still burn his eyes, suppressed for many years, and the leaves were still luxuriant.Since Langhuan can play a huge role in helping, it can also bring a greater threat. The only thing that can restrain King Jing is the strange poison that breaks out on him every month.

The legacy of raising a tiger, how can he be allowed to escape from control.Today, in order to understand the medicine, people are sent to sneak in and steal, what will they do in the future?In the past, when the Liao people entered the palace to assassinate, they were also familiar with the terrain of the palace. They arrived suddenly, and then there were continuous incidents. Hundreds of officials gathered together to stand in front of him, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, to protect the eldest son of the emperor. It took a lot of effort and means to calm the situation. , Curb Lang Ring.Today, the signs are already showing, should we let the past repeat itself?

Now that Luo Yanhua has the handle in his hands, he must be prosecuted to the end, and it is expected that his subordinates have no way to object.

There was no expression on his face, but in an instant, countless thoughts had passed through his mind, and he said coldly: "If it's not because I don't believe him, the eldest prince's personal guards entered the palace to make trouble in the middle of the night, and there are all witnesses and material evidence. This is conspiracy. Even Yu Guo has meritorious service and cannot be tolerated. Commander Li need not say any more, I have ordered Wu Yong to interrogate, and will naturally give Luo Yanhua a chance to defend himself, but if he wants to prove his innocence, it is not enough to just make up a set of arguments, he must You have to come up with real evidence."

Li Pinglan frowned slightly, seeing Emperor Tianyi's posture, he wanted to grasp the reason and make a big article.King Jing didn't know before entering the palace, how could he get the evidence from the emperor's mouth to prove his innocence in a hurry.On weekdays, it can be delayed for a few days, gradually verifying the transfer, but if there is no good strategy right now, it will be difficult to pass the checkpoint of tonight's poisonous outbreak.

King An felt relieved, and echoed, "Father sees thousands of miles away, if everything can be excused and denied, wouldn't there be no taboos, as long as you push the enemy's head, you can do any kind of outrageous and immoral thing."

At this time, the chief servant of the imperial study came forward and told in a low voice that Wu Yong had already asked the question by order and was waiting to see him outside.

"Let him come in," Emperor Tianyi had already made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "I will listen to what the First Prince has to say."

King Jing's reply was very brief, with only a few words. It said that on February [-]th, Guan Ling went to the school grounds to watch the martial arts competition and then disappeared. She searched everywhere in the mansion for two days, but found that she was taken away by her enemies, and her whereabouts were still unknown before entering the palace.When asked who the enemy is, the answer is yes, because there are too many possibilities, it is not easy to guess lightly.As for the continuous theft in the palace and the capture of Guan Ling, Luo Yanhua's reaction was even more concise, he was busy with the martial arts competition and didn't know about it, so he didn't know what crime he committed.

After asking a series of incomparably sharp questions, they all got the same answer.

After listening to Wu Yong's narration with a gloomy expression, Emperor Tianyi suddenly felt as if he had been punched in cotton. It was completely different from what he had expected in advance. There was no detailed explanation and analysis, no fear, no pleading or easing Greetings in an atmosphere, King Jing never even asked Wu Yong for a direct explanation from Mian Sheng, and this was what Emperor Tianyi thought he would definitely bring up.

There are only two hours left before Wushi, when Luo Yanhua entered the palace in the middle of the sun and the moon, in order to ask for medicine, he was obedient and devoted himself to making suggestions, but now in the crisis, with the only chance to pray for life, he seemed to be too lazy to say a word.

"The First Prince was so frightened that he didn't know what to say. Is there any other reason?" He asked with a sullen face.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the younger ones are also asking the same question. If you have a reason or someone to prove it, you can make a statement to Your Majesty." Wu Yong's head was a little sweaty, "His Royal Highness said that over the years, he has done what His Majesty asked for. Do your best, ask yourself without guilt, His Majesty knows everything in his heart, if you trust him, you will naturally try to find out, otherwise it is meaningless to say more.”

In fact, he hinted to King Jing more than once to say a few soft words, or to touch the emperor's heart with incisive remarks that hit the pros and cons, but Luo Yanhua seemed not to notice, and added a sentence until the end, which was not very pleasant.

"His arrogance is really not small. The personal guard was held straight in the palace, and I have to ask him to explain. Do you really think that I can't kill him?" He could almost imagine the quiet look on King Jing's face when he answered the question, just like his mother, who was calm and arrogant, even disdain to see each other for the last time, let alone beg for mercy.Obviously reasonable, but always seems to be wronged by himself, and has done everything to be sorry for them.The hateful thing is that it still coincides with the words of the commander in chief just now. It seems that everyone thinks so, and he has become a wronged and innocent king.

He was well aware of Luo Yanhua's talent, and he was prepared not to give any chance to meet and argue, but at this moment, he suddenly changed his mind and said with a sullen face: "Forget it, bring Luo Yanhua here, since he has done something There are many things that should be understood. I want to hear his reasoning, let him say a few more words, and see who is not interested!"
