"Why? Why did he...the emperor do this?" he asked in disbelief.
"The specific details are not very clear. I only know that at that time, the sky near the Tianjia Tower and the Buddhist Pavilion was illuminated by fire. The emperor lost his temper and said that the imperial master was related to the recent theft of scriptures!
Aunt Lan Rong frowned and said, "It seems that even Concubine Jin is involved..."
In the Zhou and Jin Dynasties, stealing scriptures was a serious crime. For ordinary people, it was a crime of beheading. In serious cases, the nine tribes would be implicated.
However, Qi Nan is a member of the Buddhist sect, and the scriptures in the Buddhist pavilion are allowed to be read by him, so how can there be any theft? And why is Concubine Jin involved? There must be something fishy and full of doubts, considering Huangfu Zhi's character.
It is impossible to convict and punish someone so easily!
"Is the emperor still in the Buddhist pavilion now?" I asked anxiously.
Lan Rong shook his head and said: "The matter was so serious that the emperor was so angry that he demoted Concubine Jin as a maid on the spot, took the imperial preceptor into custody and immediately went to Huaiyuan Temple with her, saying that he would be personally punished by the Discipline Academy of Huaiyuan Temple.
!”
"Is there still room for maneuver?" I was lucky.
She let out a long sigh: "The emperor has made up his mind to kill the imperial master, otherwise he would not have followed him to Huaiyuan Temple in person."
The storm was approaching, and the cold weather was so calm and solemn that there was no trace of life. I pushed open the door of Shuyue Palace with all my strength, and saw the cold sword blocking my way. I looked at the sky with a straight face, and said in a deep voice: "Get out of the way!"
"Your Majesty, the holy decree is here to stay and cannot be disobeyed!" the Jingua guard looked solemn.
There was a figure shaking behind them in the dark night. He shook his head gently and asked the second brother not to scare the snake, and asked: "Then where is the emperor now? I will go now..."
"Your Majesty, please come back!" The guard was unmoved.
"Bold!" He continued to bluff, hoping to scare the well-trained Ouchi guards.
"My humble position is just to act in accordance with the emperor's order. If there is any offense, I will pay my condolences!..." Before the guard finished speaking, the second brother tapped the sleeping point with extremely fast skills. Looking at the two people who fell, I
He couldn't help but said anxiously: "Second brother is confused! The consequences of alerting the enemy are disastrous!"
"Then Huangfu Zhi treats you like this, it's not a bad thing to stay away from here!" The second brother dragged the two guards to a dark corner, trying to take me away.
"Second brother, it's easy for you to get out of the palace on your own. But take me with you. It's absolutely impossible to force your way out of the palace." I said uneasily: "Second brother, Zipei can take risks. If you have
If you are so devoted to my brother, Zipei will have no regrets even if you die, but second brother can't do that, your sister-in-law still has an unborn child waiting for you, second brother, you must not let anything happen for the sake of your sister!"
Hearing what I said was reasonable, the second brother was silent. He didn't hold my hand and let go, nor did he pull me. He was panicking.
"Brother, you go first. I have to go to Huaiyuan Temple to find Huangfu Zhi now. Qinan once saved my life. You can't be ungrateful!" Pushed the second brother and said: "You go quickly, my sister has nothing!"
"Zipei, aren't you acting impulsively and acting blindly? Since you want to make trouble, who else can I help if I don't help you?" The second brother said dotingly: "Damn it, mother.
Everyone is very hurt, and it makes me feel that I owe you too much. I just want to do my best to compensate you."
Nodding with emotion, he took out the five-tailed tuanfeng and gave it to his second brother: "Then please go to Futai Palace and give this to the Queen Mother first, and ask her not to do anything. Brother, you hide in the dark, just in case."
one."
So the second brother took the five-tailed phoenix and disappeared into the darkness lightly.
I have forgotten how many times I have been to Futai Palace, but the only thing I know is that I was not treated well every time at Futai Palace, and I was ridiculed a lot. The brilliant palace lanterns are beautiful, and against the dark night, Futai
The palace looks even more noble and impressive.
For the first time, the Queen Mother was so preoccupied and anxiously looking forward to my arrival: For the first time, the Queen Mother wanted to hear what I had to say. Even though she was coughing repeatedly and was weak, she still straightened her back and stood upright to see me: It was also the first time.
, I went to Futai Palace so confident and arrogant.
I thought I had enough chips in my hand, so I didn't kneel down to her. Maybe I had already fallen asleep. The Queen Mother had not applied makeup, and her waxy face was covered with chloasma. The years had left mercilessly on her undisguised face.
Write thick and ugly pen and ink.
There was a slight sound of scolding from the side palace. A palace maid in pink clothes came in carrying a golden water basin. The nun in charge scolded her for not knowing the rules.
"Stop! Bring the water." I called the palace maid, and saw her walking over with a basin in fear. She took the basin and placed it at the Queen Mother's feet. She squatted down and carefully took off her shoes and socks.
"You...what are you doing?" The Queen Mother was obviously puzzled by what I did.
Put her feet in the water, carefully search for the lily point, rub it gently and say: "I used to wash my mother's feet like this. Washing with hot water while massaging and stimulating the lily point, it is not only effective for common colds."
The benefits are also great for the body.”
"Why are you doing this?" She struggled slightly on her feet, confused.
He pressed her feet into the water hard and said with a smile: "I just want to do something for my sister. She has never washed her mother's feet in her life!" Zijin is such a proud person, and all the stars are holding the moon.
She only has eyes for herself, never knows how to be grateful, and never thinks of others.
The Queen Mother was shocked all over. Her eyes widened and the boss asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"Why do you all ask me who I am? Haha, now I don't even know who I am, but that's not the point. The point is, who is the owner of the five-tailed tuanfeng? Is it the princess or Liu Zijin?
..." The water was already cold, so I stood up and watched the palace maids quickly wipe the Queen Mother's feet and put on her shoes, for fear that something might go wrong.
"You all get out, all of you get out!" The Queen Mother shouted and ordered the servants in the palace to retreat quickly. Seeing everyone leaving, the Queen Mother pretended to be calm and said: "Shu Fei, what are you talking about? Why is it that the Ai family can't understand? What on earth are you going to do?"
Her reaction was exactly what I expected. She smiled coldly and said, "It's pitiful parents in the world. The Queen Mother has good intentions for her daughter, but she never thought that the Minister's Mansion would give away the baby girl, let alone that the baby girl would be killed by Liu."
The government took her in. The most ridiculous thing is that the baby girl went crazy and it was her mother who did it!" Her face turned red and white, her hands shook more and more violently, her breathing became rapid, and tears welled up in her eyes. Seeing her appearance, she suddenly
Feeling extremely relieved, he continued: "Isn't this called cleverness? I was confused for a moment and never doubted Concubine Jin's identity. You don't have to believe me, but you can't deny that Concubine Jin can't produce the Five-tailed Tuanfeng!" Again!
I don’t want to say more. As the saying goes, the more you know, the less safe it is. Speaking these words itself is taking a risk. If she knew that I knew the full story of the incident, it would be difficult for me to leave Futai Palace.
"No! It's impossible! You're talking nonsense! You bold and barbaric woman! You actually dare to talk nonsense here! I can't understand what you said at all!" The Queen Mother obviously couldn't accept this fact. She pointed at me with a scarlet cardamom and was covered with chaff.
.
"You may not understand these, but now I want the Queen Mother's token, you must understand this! Listen, I am going out, I may be killed by Huangfu Zhi, but I will never come back here again, I know it very well
, even if I come back, it will be difficult for me to survive. Give me the token, and don’t ask me how much I know about this matter. If something happens to me, someone will soon make it public." He looked at it with disdain.
said the pale Queen Mother.
"Are you serious about keeping it a secret?" She sighed and handed me the token in her arms with a sinister look in her eyes.
He took the token and said: "Now you have no choice but to believe me. Queen Mother, please rest early and go see your sister and Mingyue tomorrow morning. They are your relatives." There is no time to waste, so just collect the token.
He hurriedly walked towards the palace gate.
Stepping out of Futai Palace, my second brother flew down from the palace wall. I pretended to be calm and said, "Brother, don't worry. I have spoken to the Queen Mother and now I have the token. I will leave the palace and go to Huaiyuan Temple tomorrow. You
Go back quickly, I'm afraid my sister-in-law will be worried if it takes a long time." In fact, I was determined to leave the palace immediately for fear of long nights and many dreams.
"Then I will wait until tomorrow to send you out of the palace!" The second brother under the iron-headed mask said thoughtfully: "What I'm afraid of is that the Queen Mother will regret it and attack you. Also, because of your temper... I'm afraid of angering you..."
"Brother, don't worry about this. Let's go quickly. It's not suitable to stay in the palace for a long time. I'm going back to Shuyue Palace now!" After several urgings, I saw my second brother flying away hesitantly, so I felt relieved and anxiously
