Chapter 72 Listening to politics behind the curtain
Li Yunxing's eyes moved and he looked at Jinxi.
Both nuns were beaten to death with sticks. Who was tipping off Queen Liu?
Jin Xi shook his head slightly. Several places in the East Palace were guarded by guards, so it was impossible for anyone to spread the news.
It seems that his East Palace is really lively, and there are people eavesdropping at this time!
"The Queen, here you go..." a high-pitched voice sounded outside.
Li Yunxing and Jin Xi both bowed and saluted: "I respectfully welcome the Queen!"
"It's okay to lie down!"
According to the rules of the harem, after nightfall, the queen and concubines are not allowed to enter any men's room except the emperor's bedroom.
The queen's men stopped outside the East Palace, with more than a dozen guards standing around. After Li Yunxing took Jinxi and others to kneel down to say hello, the queen asked him to get up.
Li Yunxing sneered in his heart, Liu Ruxu came very quickly, and he didn't know where she got the news?
"The Queen came to the East Palace, why?"
Liu Ruxu stood outside the East Palace and saw two nuns in the courtyard.
Although he was lying on a bench and couldn't see his face clearly, one of them looked very much like his wet nurse.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruxu's heart tightened and she had a bad premonition.
Liu Ruxu didn't dare to step forward.
He sent his personal maid Ginkgo over, but Li Yunxing didn't do much to stop him.
He just killed two old women, there was no need to hide them.
Ginkgo walked into the courtyard carefully, wanting to help the person up.
Unexpectedly, my body was already cold and stiff from the inside out.
Ginkgo was so frightened that she took a step back, and then saw the sachet that Grandma Jiang had worn around her waist for many years.
Now I knew without looking that it was her.
"The Queen, it's Aunt Jiang and Aunt Cong, they have..."
Ginkgo didn't say anything, after all, this was still the prince's east palace.
It was guarded by guards from inside to outside, and she was afraid that if she said the wrong word, she would end up like the two nuns.
"Prince! How dare you!"
Liu Ruxu's eyes were red, she was the wet nurse who had brought her up since childhood.
Not only that, Aunt Jiang and Aunt Cong were the old ladies who were brought to the mansion as a dowry.
In the house, the two of them were the best to her.
"These two old nuns rushed into the East Palace and beat and scolded the eunuchs in the East Palace. I only punished them lightly and gave them death as a warning to others." Li Yunxing understated.
This reason is far-fetched, but it can stop everyone's mouth.
Liu Ruxu's eyes glanced over, and there was indeed a slap mark on Jin Xi's face, which was extremely swollen.
"A mere slap in the face will kill them with a stick?"
Liu Ruxu trembled with anger and pointed at Li Yunxing to question.
"This East Palace is my territory, how can I allow others to intrude? Since they dare to act recklessly in the East Palace, I will punish them. Furthermore, if you hadn't allowed the slaves to commit crimes, I would have ordered them to be killed with a stick.
they?"
Li Yunxing's tone was gloomy, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
These words hit Liu Ruxu's weak point and left her speechless.
Li Yunxing continued: "Is it possible that this East Palace is also the boundary of your Liu family?"
Liu Ruxu was forced to retreat step by step, feeling anger rising in her chest.
It is true that she sent someone to bring Aunt Jiang and Aunt Cong to the East Palace, in order to remind the prince not to go too far with King Zhaoyang, as the Queen's eyes are here.
However, I didn't expect that Li Yunxing would not take her seriously.
However, in this palace, the eunuch Gong'e is the most humble. Every year, there are countless corpses carried out of the palace.
Even if Liu Ruxu is the queen, she can't change this situation.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Since Mammy was reckless, I will apologize to His Highness the Crown Prince on their behalf."
What is more important today is the matter of King Zhaoyang.
Liu Ruxu looked into the courtyard and found no King Zhaoyang, so she asked, "Where is King Zhaoyang?"
"Queen, why did you come to the East Palace to look for King Zhaoyang?"
Li Yunxing didn't give her a chance to explore inside.
Isn't this East Palace a vegetable market? Everyone can come in, and everyone can go to the prince to ask questions.
"I...I heard that today the crown prince ordered King Zhaoyang to write a policy for Jingzhou, but because King Zhaoyang is young, I came to the East Palace to have a look."
"So, the queen is planning to listen to politics behind the curtain and interfere in court affairs?"
As soon as Li Yunxing said these words, everyone took a deep breath.
The ancient saying is that people in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics.
Even if Liu Ruxu is the queen, this matter is no exception.
Of course Liu Ruxu knew the serious relationship between this, and her face immediately turned pale.
"The prince has misunderstood. I only care about the prince and have no wrong intentions." Liu Ruxu explained quickly.
"Then there is no need for the Queen to participate in today's conversation between our palace and King Zhaoyang."
Li Yunxing waved his hand and asked the imperial guards to guard the gate of the East Palace to prevent the Queen's people from breaking in.
Liu Ruxu felt resentful in her heart, and she glared at Li Yunxing fiercely.
They have been talking for a long time outside the East Palace Gate, but they have never seen King Zhaoyang.
I felt even more uneasy in my heart.
In the end, Liu Ruxu decided to retreat instead of advancing, "I know that it is inconvenient for the harem to participate in political affairs, so I will wait outside the East Palace."
Li Yunxing didn't expect Liu Ruxu to achieve such an extent.
Although he is the crown prince, he can only take care of the affairs within the court. Liu Ruxu's weight in the harem is not small.
If she is kept waiting outside the palace, I'm afraid she will have to collect a lot of tricks to impeach her tomorrow.
"Since the Queen insists on doing this, just wait a moment!"
After Li Yunxing said this, he stopped looking at her, turned around and stepped into the inner courtyard.
Jinxi also quickly sent people to throw the bodies of the two nuns in the courtyard out of the palace, and then quickly placed the Grand Master's chair and the Eight Immortals table for Li Yunxing to rest.
He had followed Li Yunxing for many years and knew that his master had a vicious mind and wanted to show it to the Queen in the courtyard.
The next moment, Liu Ruxu finally met her adopted son.
It's just that King Zhaoyang was carried out of the palace by two imperial guards, and he didn't even have the strength to walk.
His head was hung low, and his legs were dragging weakly on the ground.
He looked like a prisoner in a dungeon.
"Prince! What do you mean?"
When Liu Ruxu saw this scene, her eyes widened and she almost fainted.
How could her King Zhaoyang suffer such abuse?
When Li Yunxing saw this scene, a flash of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, "Queen, this is a matter between the monarch and his ministers."
At this time, no matter how many rules there were in the palace, Liu Ruxu couldn't care less. She ran over quickly and picked up King Zhaoyang.
"King Zhaoyang, what on earth is going on?" Liu Ruxu asked eagerly.
King Zhaoyang opened his eyes weakly and was stunned for a moment when he saw the woman in front of him.
"Mother..." King Zhaoyang shouted.
The voice was hoarse and weak, which made people feel even more distressed.
