Chapter 86 Secrets of the Palace Gradually Surface
In the dark night, it was as if endless thick ink was heavily smeared on the sky, not even the glimmer of stars.
She was sitting behind the rockery, the night fog was approaching, and the autumn night was slightly cooler. She slightly tightened her clothes with her left hand.
Under the dim moonlight, you can hear the rustling of leaves in the wind from time to time. I feel more and more worried: Why has Suzaku not come back after being away for so long? Could something have happened?
Just as he was thinking about it, a man's shrill voice came from not far away: "Eunuch Liu, are your injuries really healed? Do you want me to grab some more medicine for you?"
"No need, we have to do business. We're delayed. We can't eat at Madam's place and walk around." Another thin, slightly older voice replied.
The voice sounded again, "Eunuch Liu, you said that on the day of the sacrificial ceremony, your father-in-law was ordered by the empress to deliver the edict on behalf of Eunuch Wang Quan. The purpose was to delay the time of delivering the edict. This servant doesn't understand.
Why do you do this? To deceive the emperor is to lose your head. Also, Yan'er was arranged by the empress to be driven out in the last sedan chair of the entourage, the purpose was to make her on the way..." He stopped and made a hand
He gestured to wipe his neck, and then continued: "But how could she die at the bottom of the well for no reason? Just die if you say she is dead. Even if she dies, it will also affect Eunuch Liu. You are born to suffer the pain of your skin and flesh."
She is a harmful person, and now she wants us to clean up the aftermath for her."
"Xiao Guozi, it's our master's business. As slaves, we just listen and do as we are told. Be careful that trouble comes from your mouth. Your Majesty's methods are clear to you and me. If I let your Majesty know about it, how can you be so mean-spirited?
"Eunuch Liu reminded him.
"What Eunuch Liu taught me is that I realized my mistake and I will never dare to do it again." He nodded and bowed.
"It is a taboo in the court, speak less, and your life will last longer. If you make one wrong step, you will be doomed. If it weren't for the fact that you were trained by our family, our family would not care about your life or death." After finishing speaking,
, take the lead in walking in front.
"Yes, yes, yes...Father-in-law is right. I am really lucky. Fortunately, my father-in-law gave me some advice. I will definitely honor you in the future. It is dark and the road is slippery. Father-in-law, I will support you." He seemed to be trying to please you.
He stepped forward and helped Mr. Liu towards the rockery.
Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, and seeing the two palace men in green clothes getting clearer and clearer, she leaned closer and closer to the rockery to avoid being discovered.
When she saw the faces of the two people clearly, she was stunned. The palace man being supported... that palace man was the one who came to deliver the imperial edict on the day of the sacrifice, just like the father-in-law who recited the sutra.
Wait, what did they just say? He said: On the day of the sacrificial ceremony, my father-in-law, you were ordered by your empress to deliver the imperial edict on behalf of Eunuch Wang Quan. The purpose was to delay your delivery of the edict. I don’t understand why.
Do you want to do this? To deceive the emperor is to lose your head.
Is it any wonder that on the day of the sacrifice, he informed her unpreparedly just before leaving? She always thought that that person was deliberately causing her to make a fool of herself? It turned out that she had wrongly blamed him!
But, who is this empress who hates her so much? She would risk the accusation of deceiving the emperor and still carry out the imperial edict?
A gust of cold wind passed by, and a figure fell in front of her. When she saw the person clearly, she felt relaxed.
He stood up, glanced at the two palace men in green clothes who were almost submerged in the night, and asked eagerly, "Suzaku, is there any result?"
"Master, it's late and cold at night. Can Zhuque explain it to you in detail as we walk?" It was already so late, and she was really worried about her master's health.
She responded softly: "Well..."
Ci'an Palace
In the palace, the old palace maid skillfully untied the Queen Mother's bun, took out the gold hairpins one by one and put them into the utensils, and her long hair was draped on her shoulders.
Looking at the still young and beautiful Queen Mother in the mirror, the voice of the old palace maid sounded clearly behind her, "Mother, time flies so fast. Thirty years have passed. Now the prince is a seven-foot man, and so are the slaves.
Her hair is gray, but the empress is still stunningly beautiful."
"Mei Gu, I have really wronged you by allowing you to devote yourself to the Prime Minister's Mansion all these years. Now, Concubine Shu is in prison and the Prime Minister is dead. From now on, it will be the same as before, so you can rest assured...stay with the Ai family, right?"
There was a hint of imperceptible coercion in his voice.
Mei Gu instantly knelt on the ground and begged: "Your Majesty, this slave's life is not worth your trouble. My Majesty, Concubine Shu is just a child. I beg you to save Concubine Shu!"
No matter how willful and domineering Concubine Shu is, she is still the child she raised alone. She really can't bear to watch Concubine Shu die like this?
The Queen Mother turned around and glanced at Aunt Mei with sharp eyes, "Aunt Mei, when the Ai family sent you to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the purpose was to let you monitor the Prime Minister's every move to prevent him from having second thoughts. In fact, in these years, you
The Ai family has not disappointed the Ai family, and the Ai family has kept all this in mind. Now, the prime minister's family has been punished, and he has been charged with the eternal crime of regicide and usurping the throne. Hey... Mei Gu, don't worry, the Ai family will definitely let Puyang Long
The bitter blood... comes to comfort the souls of the Prime Minister's family." After saying this, he leaned over and helped up Mei Gu on the ground with both hands.
Mei Gu choked up and continued to beg: "Your Majesty, is there any way to rescue Concubine Shu? Now, the only queen in the prime minister's family is Concubine Shu?"
The Queen Mother's eyes gathered a different kind of light, and she said helplessly: "Aunt Mei, did you know that Puyang Long Lie is weaving a dragnet and waiting for us to jump into it? Now, the Ai family can only abandon their troops to protect their commander."
Why didn't Puyang Longlie kill Concubine Shu immediately? Why did he put Concubine Shu into the sky prison? Wasn't it just to force the Prime Minister's remnant party to show up, so that they could all be caught in one fell swoop?
In short, Concubine Shu will definitely die regardless of whether she is saved or not, so why should she throw herself into a trap and go to Tiger Mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountain?
"What I'm saying is that my servant didn't think well and almost put your Majesty in danger. Please forgive me." He leaned down and blamed himself.
"Aunt Mei, you and the Ai family grew up together. The Ai family has always regarded you as a sister. Don't worry, the Ai family will not treat you badly. I believe that given time, the Ai family will get back everything that belongs to the Ai family!" Hands!
Holding Mei Gu's hand tightly, her eyes were sinister and cold.
This morning Wen'er sent someone to bring a letter. In the letter, Wen'er stated that he had reached a consensus with that person. When the time comes, that person will send troops to help. This is really great news.
With that person's help and Mei'er, why should she worry about not being able to take back everything that belongs to her? She believes that day will come soon!
Puyang Longlie, the Ai family will store your life for the time being. As long as you find that thing, when the time comes, the Ai family will not be merciful!
Concubine Yi, if you owe Aijia, Aijia will get it back a thousand times from him. Just wait and see how Aijia tortures him step by step... destroys him!
Mei Gu was stunned, the look in her eyes? It was a look full of conspiracy and calculation. She had not seen it for a long time. Except for the appearance of the late Yi Fei, who had doted on the Sixth Palace, she had never seen it again.
.
Speaking of Concubine Yi, after so many years, she is still a hurdle that the Queen Mother cannot overcome!
Hey... Since ancient times, beauties have had such a bad life!
