Emperor Que Shaohua

In Zhiting Palace, both the furnishings and the atmosphere were as usual, elegant and natural, from Concubine Lian down, although they were a little surprised by the emperor's gloomy expression, they did not lose their pace.

Emperor Tianyi was changed into soft regular clothes by the waiters, and a court lady brought warm towels with just the right temperature. After drinking the rock sugar honeysuckle tea brewed by Concubine Lian herself, he felt a sense of coolness penetrated his heart, and he was very angry. The blue face gradually turned around.

"It's not time for dinner yet, how about your majesty having a bowl of ginseng pigeon soup first?" Concubine Lian said softly, "I just cooked it just for your majesty, and I wanted someone to send it to the front palace, so your majesty has come .It's cold outside, just to warm up the body."

Emperor Tianyi took the small covered cup in her hand, and saw the soup was golden in color and fragrant, and after taking a sip, the steaming ginseng soup was extremely delicious.He let out a breath slowly, feeling relieved at last.

"My concubine has a heart." He said lightly, "Don't ask me why I am so unhappy?"

"Your Majesty belongs to the country, and it seems to be troubled by state affairs." There was a faint smile on Concubine Lian's lips, which made people feel comfortable, "I am a concubine, even if she wants to help, she is powerless, so I can only let Your Majesty rest as much as possible." Be more comfortable."

"Aifei has done a good job," Emperor Tianyi sighed, and as the anger dissipated, a burst of desolation rose in his heart instead.He seldom had this kind of feeling, perhaps because too many past events were brought up today, Luo Yanhua's words were like invisible and colorless sword edges, each sentence pointed directly at the pain in the depths of his heart that even he couldn't explain clearly, It is unavoidable, "If everyone knows the general situation, understands duty, and knows to think for my sake like you, there will be much less troublesome things in the world."

Concubine Lian lowered her eyes. Before the arrival of the emperor's driver, Wu Yong had already sent someone to report the news, hoping that she would try her best to appease the emperor's emotions.Although the conflict that occurred in the imperial study room cannot be clearly explained, what happened can be understood with just a few words.

"Your Majesty's absurd praise, I'm ashamed to be ashamed, I feel that I'm a cowardly person." She said softly, not caring about the surprised eyes of the emperor, "Since entering the palace, my concubine has lived a cautious and independent life. I am afraid that if I do too much, make too many mistakes, or accidentally get involved in disputes, I will be rejected by His Majesty in the end. I have been blessed by heaven to live in peace these years, but I have not been able to share much of my worries for Your Majesty. However, someone must bear the hard work and hardship in this world. If the concubines, or the ministers in the court are as timid as concubines, His Majesty's burden will definitely be much heavier."

As she said that, she smiled lightly, with a calm expression on her face: "I don't understand political affairs, and I don't know how to forgive His Majesty, but thinking about it, the adults in the court should be doing things for His Majesty wholeheartedly, perhaps just like the concubines, I often worry that I will accidentally make a mistake and lose His Majesty's attention. Human beings are not grass and trees, and I hope Your Majesty will take care of the monarch and his ministers, and even if your ministers make mistakes, don't take it to heart."

Emperor Tianyi tasted the ginseng soup slowly, with a noncommittal expression on his face, and the euphemistic persuasion in his ear made him feel a lot of psychological comfort, and then gave birth to emotion.Concubine Lian and Li Pinglan are people who never speak easily. He never thought that the empress concubine who knew nothing would react in the same way as the commander-in-chief who knew the inside story, either tactfully or implicitly: doing things for His Majesty is a heavy responsibility, and it is difficult to move forward. , if even His Majesty refuses to trust you, who would dare to take responsibility and share your worries?

Thinking of this, he felt a little uncomfortable, no matter how close he was, it was impossible to understand the loneliness of the Son of Heaven.How could the indifferent Concubine Lian know that Quan Yizi was ecstatic, there would always be courtiers competing to take on heavy responsibilities, and they longed for the Sacred Heart for their own fame and fortune.He never thought that there was nothing wrong with his doubts and overthinking. Even Empress Langhuan, who had been with him when he was young, chose to deceive and betray him. Checks and balances of power do not lie.Besides, this time, Luo Yanhua was not someone else, and with the evidence in hand, wouldn't it be natural to be on guard, punish him or even kill him?

But at this time, thinking of letting King Jing be poisoned and helpless, he really felt a little bit hard to get off and unsustainable.The identity belongs to the monarch and his subjects, father and son, even though they both know that there is no father-son relationship, but in the eyes of everyone, this identity still exists.As a monarch and subject, he had to admit that King Jing had indeed done his best. From the time he assumed the responsibility, he almost never worried about the armed invasion of Jianghu sects and foreign barbarians. It is becoming more and more handy, as if everything is alive.

It's only half an hour since Bi Haicheng's heart attack, if you just sit back and watch, the future situation is unpredictable, is it possible to play a live game of chess again?

Up to now, the anger has been frustrated, somewhat discouraged, and even the emperor himself faintly murmured in his heart: Luo Yanhua's pursuit of titles and wealth is meaningless, and all his sacrifices are not for himself. Agreed, why did you have to drink that glass of wine in the first place?

Speaking of it, Jing Wang is indeed the kind of infatuated character who doesn't change his mind. He doesn't know how to bow his head when encountering major events. He is only talented and often cannot avoid immediate losses.Now that he was in a place of suspicion, he should be terrified, but he was still stubborn and arrogant, and he refused to pray for a word, and there was a faint sense of desperation in his calm expression.Perhaps because of this, the words that came out of his mouth were even more irritating, and he was so heartbroken that he didn't even want to think about it again.

Concubine Lian saw the emperor's complicated complexion and was lost in thought, so she didn't bother her any more, she just asked the maid to remove the cover cup, and brought two small plates of freshly made dim sum herself.The palace room is quiet and peaceful, only the light footsteps of the woman walking, the rustling of the dress, and occasionally the crisp sound of pendants colliding.The ornaments on Concubine Lian's body were always simple, if it was Concubine Rong or Concubine Han, the hairpins would sway when walking, and even make a tinkling sound, like flowing music.

Thinking of Concubine Han, Jing Wang Shicai's words came back to his mind: Who has benefited the most from the feud between the ruling and the opposition all these years?Why did the emperor think that when Guan Ling was caught, he was instigated by his son-in-law, and there was no need to investigate thoroughly?

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Wu Yong boldly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Princess Danyang is asking to see you outside and wants to come in to say hello."

"I want to be quiet for a while, let her go back!" Emperor Tianyi's brows were already frowned, but now he became more impatient, "Who knows whether he cares about me or is here to beg for favors."

"Yes, I'll go back now, little one." Wu Yong said hastily, "His Royal Highness is really worried about His Majesty, so she hurried over here."

"In my opinion, I'm afraid not necessarily. What good did the eldest prince do to you bastards, rushing to plead for mercy one by two?" Emperor Tianyi snorted, and said with a sneer, "You tell her, no matter what the contest is As a result, it will be Zhen who will marry her in the future, not His Royal Highness King Jing."

Wu Yongnuo responded, only worrying in his heart, listening to the emperor's tone, the time of the most murderous intent has passed, but he still has no intention of letting go.It was already dark, and the First Prince was kneeling there, what if he couldn't hold on?Immortals fight, mortals suffer, and in the future, the situation will be unmanageable, and I have to blame myself, the people around me, for not fulfilling the duty of persuasion.

"Simply make it clear with you, isn't the First Prince unwilling to be convinced? I won't wrong him, and I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly before we judge the crime. We can afford to wait for this time." Emperor Tianyi saw him frowning. He bowed his head and retreated, another burst of anger flared up, and he said coldly, "Today, Luo Yanhua was punished to kneel because of his rude words and arrogance. Long memory!"

"Your Majesty sees clearly." Wu Yong said with a bow. He was the only one who understood what these two hours meant, and his heart was tense. He had served King Jing and took so many antidotes, and he couldn't imagine how he could survive such a long time. When the time comes, we can only hope that the emperor will calm down and act accordingly.

"Your Majesty, the fragrant soup is ready. Do you want to take a bath first or have dinner?" Concubine Lian said softly, "Since the princess is here, let the concubine go say hello."

Luo Xuening was standing in front of the Zhiting palace gate, she had actually come as soon as she heard the news from the front palace, and she had been waiting for a while.

The palace door opened, and it was not Wu Yong but Concubine Lian who walked out: "Princess, let's go back first." She said softly, "Your Majesty is about to take a bath, and you have already said that you will be fined for another two hours to make His Majesty get up. Now that the anger is over, if you are eager to plead for mercy, maybe it will backfire."

"Concubine Lotus," Luo Xuening called out, with uncontrollable anxiety in her eyes, she said in a low voice, "I was a little panicked, just now I was thinking of someone sending warm clothes to the big emperor, but I was caught halfway. Stop it, the prince has just entered the palace, and he actually ordered someone to guard the Tianjie, not allowing the palace people to come and go. Moreover, it is impossible to send someone to send a letter outside!"

Concubine Lian also frowned. Even for the crown prince, cutting off the news from the front and back palaces was beyond the norm. With the cautious character of the second prince, how could he suddenly do such an extreme move?She thought for a while and said: "I will try to persuade Your Majesty again. Xue Ning, if you are worried, why not go there in person, no one will dare to stop you."

Luo Xuening suddenly realized that if she rushed to Changning Palace rashly, although it would annoy Emperor Tianyi afterwards, she would not be severely punished, but if the prince was allowed to do whatever he wanted, it would be difficult to keep King Jing safe from accidents.

"I'll go right away, I'm asking your mother to worry about it." She said.It would be great if he could find Brother Wuhuang, but soon, even the gate of the palace will be closed.

She turned around and ran towards the front palace in three and two steps.

Luo Pingyuan ordered twelve guards to protect Lin Chen, and went to wait outside the palace gate for a carriage in case of emergencies.He got on his horse by himself, left everyone behind, and rushed towards the Chonghua Palace like an arrow leaving the string.His heart was burning like a fire, and his anger was rising, and there was a faint kind of indescribable fear.Why is Marquis Ding Jian sure that the emperor will not be able to survive today, so why not sooner or later, just choose the fifteenth day of the month to launch the attack?

Every [-]th period since the past year flashed through his mind, which one did King Jing stay safely in the mansion from the beginning to the end and never went out?It seems that most of the time, the emperor's brother, who lives in seclusion, always chooses this day to enter the palace for various reasons.

He once suspected it, but whether it was Yang Yue, Qin Shuang in the mansion, or the owner of Mengxian Valley, they only said that they were sick.Is there any disease in the world that is so weird that it must happen on the same day every month, and even the time is about the same?He suddenly realized that he just didn't want to think too much all this time, and was afraid to go deeper, especially to avoid being associated with Emperor Tianyi.But now, even Beiliao and Kunlun Mansions know that this matter is the weakness of the emperor's brother. He seems to have seen the hand stretched out by the prince behind the scenes again. This is a trick to kill with a knife!

The famous Dawan horse with snow-white hooves galloped along Suzaku Street, countless pedestrians dodged in panic, but none of them knew where it was.Who would have thought that His Highness Prince Ning, who has always been prudent, would ride alone and go on a rampage without giving way?Luo Pingyuan heard someone complaining in a low voice: "Whose brat is that? Reckless!"

When he was approaching the gate of the palace, he saw a group of dozens of riders in front of him rolling up a cloud of smoke and dust, and they were also riding their horses at full speed. If he was not riding on dark clouds and riding snow, it would be difficult to catch up.He lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the mount moved a little faster. When he saw it clearly, he felt a slight surprise in his heart, and raised his voice, "Brother Four Emperors, are you going to enter the palace?"

Hearing the familiar voice, King Yun turned his head to see Luo Pingyuan, his icy expression was also slightly chilled: "Pingyuan, why are you here? You just happened to be with me." His horse was also a good one out of a thousand, At this time, they slowed down, allowing King Ning to catch up and walk side by side.Luo Pingyuan saw Qin Su at a glance, and his heart trembled again. Could it be that Brother Four was found by A Su?

"I just came out of Dingjianhou's Mansion, and the Crown Prince smuggled Guan Ling into Miyagi to frame Brother Huang!" Before he could ask, he hurriedly said to Luo Linpian.

King Yun's slender and beautiful brows were raised: "Ah Su came to me for this reason. How did the Fifth Emperor get so fast? Could it be related to Ding Jianhou?"

As the situation was urgent, Luo Pingyuan hurriedly explained the conspiracy of the Hou Mansion that Lin Chen had relayed: "Brother Si Huang knows the situation in the palace, and Father Huang really asked Brother Huang for his crimes?"

"It turns out that there is such a passage. Brother Dahuang's predictions are accurate. Now that you know the details, you will be able to save people." Luo Linpian listened to him without saying a word, and then briefly reported what she had learned. The whole story was also said, "I happened to visit the mountains in the outskirts, and I came too late. Now I only know what happened when I enter the palace."

The two of them were talking, running unabated, and in the blink of an eye they had arrived at the gate of Chonghua Palace.Luo Pingyuan raised his eyes and knew that the crown prince and King An were both in the palace.He thought that there was no news of Guan Ling being captured in the palace city for a whole day, and King Jing left the mansion to enter the palace at noon, and there has been no news of it so far, which is ominous, indicating that there must be danger everywhere.There are still many doubts in his heart that he hasn't had time to ask, and layers of anxiety are like fire, and he can't help but say angrily: "A Su, since you know that the fourth emperor brother is not in the city, why didn't you come to me and waste a lot of time?" Generally untrustworthy?

Qin Su dismounted beside the two princes, and he remained silent until he said, "It is the Lord's order. No matter what happens, you must not go to His Highness."

Luo Pingyuan couldn't help being angry: "Don't tell me when you are framed, what is the emperor thinking!" If it wasn't for Lin Chen, he would have returned home from Jingyu Guard without knowing anything, and continued to ignorantly Waiting for King Jing's Miansheng to return, and until he finds out the reason, the situation has changed and it is too late.

"Bingyuan, I'll talk about the side details later. It's important that we go into the palace to do business." King Yun stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder, "Brother Dahuang has already figured out how to prove his innocence, so we will do as he wants. Ask Lin Chen to testify. It is inconvenient for Ah Su to enter the palace, so I will wait in the carriage of Prince Jing's Mansion, so that I can respond if I have something to do."

He paused for a moment, then said coldly: "I said long ago that Brother Dahuang is good at everything, but he doesn't take himself seriously. I don't know whether I can pass the life and death barrier in front of me, and I still have to worry about it." I'm afraid that Brother Wuhuang will be affected. I only care about saving people, and I don't care much about other things. Please remember, Ping Yuan, when you step into Chonghua Palace today, I will take care of everything. Dispute, nothing else is taboo."

He had just found out about the strange poison in King Jing's body, and he was angry. Seeing that Luo Pingyuan was obviously kept in the dark, he became more and more angry. The expression on his face was not right, and he suppressed his temper because he was afraid that his words and deeds would lose his composure.

The favored fourth prince and fifth prince came hand in hand, adding another layer of chill to Chonghua Palace.The eldest prince was fined to kneel outside the Changning Palace, while the third prince guarded the East Side Hall. His Highness the Crown Prince even issued several strict orders. Everyone in the palace felt that a heavy rain was coming, and there were thunder and lightning ready to go everywhere. Miyagi seems to be shaken or even turned over at any time.

The hall on the east side was already lit with bright lights, and when King Yun and King Ning came in, Luo Junping, who was sitting quietly drinking tea, felt the air suddenly become cold, as if even the dancing candle flames were frozen.His first thought was that the visitor was not kind, the crown prince was afraid that he would lose control of the situation, and that there would be a good show tonight; then he didn't take it seriously, and secretly scolded Luo Yuhua for kneeling as a punishment, not even a single hair was hurt Now, including the prince, everyone is ready to fight as if they are facing a big enemy, but King Jing is so precious?Luo Linpian didn't know where she got the news, so she came to find trouble in person, and dragged Luo Pingyuan to help out.

"Fourth Emperor's brother is very elegant, and he entered the palace at such a late hour." He greeted him with a fake smile, "Fifth Emperor's brother is also normal, it's getting dark, and the time for greetings has already passed, what are you going to do? Things are not at the right time, why go to the Three Treasure Hall?"

"I have something important, I have to report it to my father right away, it's about elder brother." Luo Linpian glanced at him with a chill in his eyes.He had just found a palace servant to inquire about the situation, knowing that he had no time to chat nonsense with King An, "Where is the servant in charge of reporting?"

"Fourth brother's tone is really not small. If you ask to see him, father will have to see you? Your Majesty was so angry that he almost fell ill. He has already returned to the harem to rest, and no one has seen him!" Luo Junping sneered. "For the sake of father's health, the crown prince has already ordered no one to go to the harem to disturb you. I kindly advise you, don't rely on your father's favor in front of you, just look for trouble at this moment! If father feels unwell, It is a major event in the world of Yu Zhou, who can afford it?"

"It seems that the third brother is going to help His Highness the crown prince sit in charge, so majestic." Luo Pingyuan said calmly, he was anxious in his heart, and he didn't want to be submissive, "If the second emperor's order is the order of the palace ban, he will now Where? I'm going to ask, when did the Emperor Father not make a decree, when did the Chonghua Palace become the crown prince's head?"

"Luo Pingyuan, the crown prince is the crown prince. You are a subject, how dare you be so rude?" King An had never heard King Ning speak in such a tone. Brother kneeling outside the Changning Palace is too lonely, just now I went to visit, if you want to commit the crime of disregarding the seniority of the monarch and his subjects, go find it, and you will be punished to kneel with you!"

Luo Linpian looked around, and the servants serving in the Eastern Palace saw that the three princes were filled with gunpowder as soon as they met, and they were already so frightened that they didn't know where to hide.Luo Wenxiao's move out of the crown prince's identity was a clear hindrance. Although he was not afraid, if he forced his way into the harem, there would be a lot of delays and entanglements. Seeing that it was Wu Shi, there was no such time.

He immediately sneered and said, "Do you think I won't be able to see Father because Luo Wenxiao is in the middle? Well, I'll teach you to open your eyes today." After Yan Bi flicked his sleeves, he turned around and left the hall.

"Brother Four Emperors, I heard that Emperor Father is at Concubine Lian's place, you go to Zhiting Palace first," Luo Pingyuan walked out together with him, leaving Wang An behind.Thinking that the emperor's brother had lost his martial arts, and with Luo Wenxiao's malice, it was impossible to guarantee that he would not take the opportunity to kill him. He felt anxious for a while, and immediately wanted to rush to Changning Palace, "I'll go to the prince to make an argument."

"It's too late to go to Zhiting Palace, and the emperor may shirk it. You and I can wait, but the elder brother can't wait." King Yun said, without turning to the direction of the harem, King Jing was unwilling to let Luo Pingyuan win Knowing the existence of Bihai Chengxin, but when it is time to know, how can he hide it, his cold eyes seemed to penetrate the palace city under the night, "Since we have reached this point today, we have to make some noise. Pingyuan, you go and guard the big emperor, don't let him have any accidents, as for me, go to beat the Xiwen drum now."
