No matter how good the wood of the doors and windows is, they can't stop the emperor's furious voice coming from inside.
The servants and guards standing outside the door had expressionless faces and seemed to hear nothing.
But what will happen to Mrs. Cheng?
Lower your head to hide your expression?
The chamberlains glanced quietly and saw that the woman was still standing upright, without lowering her head. Her expression was even duller than theirs.
She is indeed a disciple of the gods. She is not afraid of the emperor's anger. I don't know what she is thinking at this time.
How interesting.
Cheng Jiaoniang thought about it and looked at the palace door in front of her.
This is how important ministers recorded in history books dealt with the emperor.
This Mr. Gao was a prominent figure in the history books. The emperor respected him and once rebuked the emperor in person. The emperor was so angry that he ran back to the inner palace to hide. In the end, the emperor accepted Mr. Gao's advice and recorded it in the history books as
A story about a Ming Dynasty and a Qing Dynasty.
The scene described in just a few sentences in the book was really interesting when I saw it now...
I wonder if I will see the emperor get angry later and run away to avoid him.
The corners of Cheng Jiaoniang's eyes moved slightly. She did not see the emperor walking away in anger. Instead, she saw a chamberlain walking away in a hurry with his head lowered, turning around the corridor and disappearing.
……………………………………………
In Concubine An's palace, Concubine An, who was half sitting up, was being carefully fed decoction by the maid. After hearing these words, Concubine An suddenly coughed repeatedly.
"Empress! Oh no!" she shouted tremblingly.
On the chair next to her, the Queen had her eyes closed and seemed not to have heard the words of the young chamberlain.
"Take your medicine." She said, "Hurry up and adjust your pulse. Otherwise, it will be terrible if Master Gao brings everyone from Tai Hospital to check your pulse."
As soon as these words came out, Concubine An's already pale face became even paler. She reached out to grab the medicine, and drank it without having to feed it to the palace maid. She choked and coughed repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," she shouted tremblingly while coughing.
The queen was still sitting on the high chair, smiled and opened her eyes.
"What are you afraid of? You have the guts to say that you were pregnant on the day Prince Jin'an sent you snacks, and you also dare to say that you were pregnant with a dragon child when the imperial doctor diagnosed the fetus as unstable. Concubine An, you are not brave.
It’s very big, so what’s there to be afraid of?” she laughed.
An Fei sobbed.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am not brave, I am stupid..." she cried.
"What are you stupid about?" The queen interrupted her and sat up, "Stupid methods are not necessarily useless."
Concubine An watched her wipe her tears.
"But, if your Majesty is suspicious..." she said urgently.
"Your Majesty will be suspicious." The Queen said, "Your Majesty is the most suspicious person."
Concubine An nodded her head repeatedly and shed more tears.
"Empress, you said you would let me live a good life, but I don't want to die yet..." she cried.
"Shut up," the queen said.
As expected, Concubine An immediately shut up obediently and looked at the queen in tears.
"Your Majesty will be suspicious, but there are people who were suspected before us, so don't worry." The queen said, standing up, "This time, I am a little more lucky."
Sometimes, a little bit of luck is enough.
In the Qinzheng Palace, Gao Lingbo looked at the furious emperor and said in his heart.
He can stand here in time now, speaking of it, it is because of the ridiculous marriage between Gao Xiaoguan and Mrs. Cheng. Otherwise, he is still outside now. Then when he learns what happened in the palace, it will be too late to come back.
.
So, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
The emperor, who angrily cursed some words that an emperor should not say, suddenly stopped.
"I understand."
"I know why this happened."
"This is really my fault."
Gao Lingbo frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, I just said what I said just now. In fact, it is a crime to possess a jade, and Bi should not be guilty..." He bowed and said.
"I know that this is what you rely on." The emperor interrupted him, his face no longer angry, and he stood on the steps and looked down at Gao Lingbo.
We? This? Which?
Gao Lingbo was a little surprised by the emperor's sudden change, but actually calmed down again.
It seems that many things are really out of his control.
Maybe something is really wrong with this trip...
"... Mr. Gao, you are not afraid of someone guessing my feelings, but you are not afraid at all."
The emperor said, exhaled, and slowly turned around and returned to his seat.
"Don't be afraid, because it is really clumsy to frame the imperial concubine. It is simply unbelievable and self-humiliating."
"How could the noble concubine harm Concubine An just because she was pregnant with a dragon child?"
"Longzi, it's not like the imperial concubine doesn't have a dragon son, and her dragon son has grown up now. King Feng, a little fetus has not yet been born. How big it can grow after birth is unknown and unpredictable. What's wrong with the imperial concubine?
Because of this unknown thing, I will do something that will harm the safety that everyone knows."
This is the truth, but the emperor's tone when he said it was really strange and made people a little uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty is wise." Gao Lingbo saluted and said.
The emperor sat back, looked at Gao Lingbo and nodded.
"Yes, this is a truth that everyone knows, so no one would think that the imperial concubine would do such a thing. They would only think that it was either an accident or that Concubine An had bad intentions." He said, "So,
For the noble concubine, this is really a great opportunity. Even if she does it, no one will doubt it..."
Gao Lingbo was immediately furious.
This confused emperor turned out not to have woken up at all!
You are using your brain, but you are using your stupid brain!
Making him doubt is not what makes him doubt like this!
It’s really hard for the emperor to come up with this!
"Your Majesty, if you say this, there will be no innocent people in this world. Everyone is a murderer and everyone is a harmer." He raised his eyebrows and said, holding the wat board in his hand and taking a step forward, his voice was louder than just now.
Big, "Your Majesty, you must not suspect your neighbor of stealing an axe! Your Majesty, you are suspicious yourself, how can you be fair? If it is said that the concubine is suspected because she has reason to avoid suspicion, then Concubine An can naturally think so, and naturally she can do the same.
Do."
Listen to all this mess going around!
"I know." The emperor raised his hand to stop Gao Lingbo. This time he was not angry because of his aggressiveness, and his expression was calm. "I know what you mean, but this time is different from other times."
"Master Gao, everyone knows the truth this time, but what happened this time is clumsy and ridiculous."
"But there is one thing that many people don't know. I don't know it. Only the imperial concubine knows it."
What?
Gao Lingbo looked shocked.
"I don't know whether Lord Gao knows," the emperor continued.
"Your Majesty!" Gao Lingbo said loudly again.
"Gao Lingbo." The emperor interrupted him again, "Did you know that there is Taibai Jingtian before the lunar eclipse?"
What?
Gao Lingbo was stunned.
Taibai Jingtian?
This thought did not change. The original thought before entering the door turned away. He subconsciously looked back towards the door.
That woman! It turns out she wasn’t here to diagnose the concubines in the harem at all!
"The Taibai appears, meets the lunar eclipse, and the prince is in danger."
The emperor's voice continued in his ears.
The prince is in danger.
Gao Lingbo be alert.
"Your Majesty, this is nonsense..." he said.
"Pass the Cheng family." The emperor said directly.
The actions of the chamberlains interrupted Gao Lingbo's words, the door was pushed open, and Cheng Jiaoniang walked in.
"Ms. Cheng, I have called you here to ask you something." The emperor looked at Cheng Jiaoniang who was giving the gift and said straight to the point, "Is there a Taibai Jingtian before the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month last year?"
"Your Majesty, yes." Cheng Jiaoniang saluted and replied.
At this time, Gao Lingbo was not in a hurry anymore and stood aside watching the emperor and Cheng Jiaoniang asking questions.
"Then the Taibai appears and meets the lunar eclipse, is the prince in danger?" the emperor asked again.
"Your Majesty, yes." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
"Taibai has appeared, and the guest star has appeared in Gouchen. Will he rule the world?" the emperor asked again.
If the first two sentences didn't matter, this sentence made Gao Lingbo's heart skip a beat.
This sentence is all too familiar.
When Taizu ascended the throne, Taishi ordered a celestial map to reveal Taibai, which marked the division of territory in Qin, indicating that Taizu, who was the King of Qin at that time, would dominate the world, so he finally stood out from all his brothers. [Note 1]
Surprisingly, this happened again.
Gao Lingbo's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
If you still feel like this after hearing this, you can imagine what the imperial concubine will do if she hears this...
Cheng Jiaoniang's voice came to my ears.
"Back to Your Majesty, yes."
The emperor nodded and looked at Gao Lingbo.
"Master Gao, do you understand?" he asked.
Gao Lingbo sighed softly.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand." He said and glanced at Cheng Jiaoniang.
"Master Gao, who has read many poems and books, doesn't he understand?" the emperor asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, of course I understand Taibai matters." Gao Lingbo smiled, "I just don't understand that there is Si Tiantai and Taishi Bureau in the court. Why didn't Your Majesty ask the courtiers, but this Lady Cheng?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Cheng looked at him.
The tall man was anxious.
Cheng Jiaoniang thought in her heart.
He imagined it, how could the emperor not think of it? Did he really think that the emperor would believe his words?
The emperor asked himself, just for verification.
Since it is for verification, it is natural that it has been learned from other places.
From this point of view, this tall man is slightly different from what is recorded in the history books. He does not seem to be someone who can force the emperor to escape with words.
But that doesn’t matter. Books are written by human beings. Naturally, the author’s preferences and feelings must be added to either beautify or belittle them. This cannot be trusted at all.
The emperor looked at Gao Lingbo and smiled.
"Because I know what people say, everyone can say it, but not all believe it, so after listening to Si Tiantai's words, I still didn't believe it, so I asked Mrs. Cheng to come and verify it again," he said.
Gao Lingbo was stunned and understood immediately.
impossible!
If Si Tiantai knew about Taibai Jingtian, there was no way Gao Lingbo didn't know about it! It was impossible for Si Tiantai to hide such a big thing from him! And he had kept it secret for so long, what happened last year, what happened last year...
"Chuan Si Tiantai Tiju and others."
The emperor's voice came to Gao Lingbo's ears, the sound of footsteps and the sound of the door came one after another.
Sure enough, something is wrong, and I feel like this again.
This was not the first time he felt this way. During the lunar eclipse last year, he wanted to use the lunar eclipse to drive Chen Shao out of the court, but Chen Shao instead used the Maoping snowstorm to drive him out of the court.
Maoping snow disaster.
The Maoping snow disaster that he ignored because of man-made frame-up.
It was the same this time, he was kept a secret about Taibai Jingtian.
But how is this possible? What's the use of hiding this from him? What's more, this is not the Maoping Snow Disaster. If you hide such a big thing from the emperor just to hide it from yourself, wouldn't you be courting death if you find out about it again?
"...Chen Guo Yuan..."
The sound in the hall made Gao Lingbo come back to his senses and saw that there were no longer just the three of them in the hall, but there were people from Si Tiantai.
Guo Yuan.
The man who bet his life on the lunar eclipse.
Did he say that?
Gao Lingbo couldn't help but look at the young man saluting in the palace.
If it was him who said it, it would be due to the lunar eclipse, and he would be able to gain the emperor's trust.
"...I saw Taibai Xian at that time, but I thought I saw it wrong, so I didn't dare to report it..."
"...Your Majesty, Guo Yuan said it at that time, but the ministers did not see it. Later, the lunar eclipse was deduced, so they concentrated on the lunar eclipse and ignored Taibai Jingtian..."
"...Although I didn't say it, I recorded it and kept it secret, and somehow it was spread..."
I don’t know why it was spread?
Gao Lingbo laughed a little in his heart.
There is nothing in this world without wind and waves! Of course, someone wanted this to be spread, so it was spread!
No, it could be that it has been hidden for so long by someone with intentions, and it is just waiting for the right time to be released.
A suitable time is naturally when I leave the capital.
Gao Lingbo was enlightened in an instant, and cold sweat flowed to the soles of his feet.
"Your Majesty, this celestial phenomenon is not worthy of words." He raised his head, said loudly, and took a step forward.
The emperor looked at him, his expression showing no emotion or anger.
"Because, there is no prince yet." Gao Lingbo gritted his teeth and said.
The emperor laughed heartily after hearing this.
"There is no prince?" He smiled, "So there is no prince? It turns out that in your hearts, Prince Ping is not the only and unchosen prince!"
"As long as there are no golden words from Your Majesty and no announcement to the world, Prince Ping is not the prince." Gao Lingbo said, "I will never dare to think like this in my heart. Your Majesty knows it clearly!"
The emperor laughed again.
"Okay, okay, okay." He said, "Yes, it is true that there is no prince without telling the world, which means that anyone can be the prince."
"Taibai Jingtian, the guest star appears in Gouchen, and rules the world."
The emperor stood up and looked at Gao Lingbo.
"With Concubine An's dragon son, Prince Ping, the undecided prince, will be in danger."
"Concubine An's son is gone, maybe he is Prince Wei."
"So no matter what you do, it proves that the prince is in danger."
"Master Gao, do you still think that Concubine An's accident was a trivial matter, a clumsy and stupid thing?"
This is not a stupid and clumsy trick! This is obviously a big game of chess!
Gao Lingbo almost broke the wat board in his hand.
What a chess game!
