Chapter 488: Private meeting in the middle of the night
It was quiet near the Plum Blossom Pavilion, except for the occasional sound of the wind blowing the leaves. It was still strange in such a night.
There is a figure of a woman walking from far to near. She is wearing a cloak, covering her head. If you are more careful, you will find that this cloak is the one Mu Ci wore.
There is no doubt that this woman is the master of Yong'an Palace - Mu Ci.
She looked left and right from time to time, with a guilty conscience, as if she was about to do something shameful.
Qing Le saw this scene from a distance, and his heart suddenly relaxed.
Sure enough, Mu Ci would be fooled if she used the late emperor as bait. Chunfeng really gave her a brilliant idea.
"Has your Majesty seen it? I did not lie. The Queen Mother is indeed unruly. She went out to have a private meeting with a man in the middle of the night, and she chose the Plum Blossom Pavilion, which was the favorite place of the late Emperor. How could the Queen Mother do this?"
Qing Le turned to look at Dugu Liancheng, his eyes shining with excitement.
She didn't believe it. Even now, the emperor would still protect Mu Ci.
I believe that no man can tolerate his woman having an affair with another man, not to mention that the emperor is still an emperor.
Mu Ci had a private meeting with a man in the middle of the night, and was caught by the emperor. This time he was doomed!
When Chunfeng first proposed this vicious plan, she was still a little hesitant.
I originally thought that today was the Emperor's Longevity Day, so I chose to take action on this day. If I succeeded, the Emperor would be extremely hated.
I just waited and waited for a long time. At midnight, it was already the second day, and Mu Ci was late. But it didn't matter, even if the Longevity Festival had passed, the emperor had not yet calmed down.
If the emperor witnesses Mu Ci's secret meeting with other men at midnight, the emperor will definitely deal with Mu Ci personally.
In this way, she eliminated Mu Ci, a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.
Qing Le had a wishful thinking and looked at the man next to her through the faint light.
She didn't know whether she was extremely angry or something, but the emperor's expression looked a little gloomy under the light. She was secretly happy, thinking that this time she had finally achieved her goal.
As soon as Mu Ci entered the Plum Blossom Pavilion, they rushed in and captured everyone. By then, Mu Ci had ten mouths to speak clearly.
She was secretly proud, seeing Mu Ci enter the Plum Blossom Pavilion for half a quarter of an hour, and then she said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you want to enter the Plum Blossom Pavilion——"
Before she finished speaking, Dugu Liancheng had already taken the lead towards Plum Blossom Pavilion.
When he reached the entrance of Plum Blossom Pavilion, Dugu Liancheng stopped again and turned around to ask Qingle: "How did you know that the Queen Mother was having a private meeting at midnight?"
Qing Le didn't expect him to ask such a question. She said calmly: "I have received a secret report. I didn't believe it at first, but I still felt that the matter was important, so I told the emperor."
Dugu Liancheng did not answer the call.
Qing Le was a little puzzled. She looked up and met Dugu Liancheng's eyes as cold as iron.
Her heart trembled and her legs became a little unsteady.
"You are so well-informed. I can't help but feel a little scared to have a concubine as capable as you by my side." Dugu Liancheng lightly curled his lips and took the lead in entering the Plum Blossom Pavilion.
Qingle was still thinking about the meaning of Dugu Liancheng's words, but Chunfeng gave her a gentle push: "Master, hurry up and follow me."
Qing Le remembered that there was still business to do and hurriedly followed up with Meihua Pavilion.
They saw two people talking from a distance. One was the woman wearing a cloak just now, and the other was an outstanding-looking guard with a knife.
Seeing this, Qing Le smiled knowingly and shouted loudly: "The Queen Mother came here for a private meeting in the middle of the night, are you so impatient?"
The woman in the cloak stood with her back to Qing Le. When she heard Qing Le's voice, she did not turn around immediately.
"Now that things have happened, what else does the Queen Mother have to say?!" Qing Le said and went to "Mu Ci".
When she saw the other person's face clearly, her expression changed slightly and she blurted out: "Who are you?!"
When this man saw Qing Le and Dugu Liancheng standing not far away, he quickly knelt down on the ground. He took off the cloak that covered his head, and it turned out to be a young eunuch.
He replied respectfully: "This servant is the chamberlain on duty at Yong'an Palace and is here on the order of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother said that if the Emperor comes, she will ask this servant to give this letter to the Emperor."
After the young eunuch finished speaking, he handed the letter to the emperor: "The Queen Mother also told the servants that if this is a trap, the person who brought the emperor to Plum Blossom Pavilion is the one behind the scenes."
When the little eunuch said this, he did not dare to look at Qingle.
He only conveyed the Queen Mother's original words, and he knew nothing about other things.
Dugu Liancheng saw the handwriting on the letter and recognized it as the late emperor's calligraphy at a glance.
"What did you say?" Dugu Liancheng looked at the guard with the knife who was confused about the situation.
Only then did the guard with the knife react and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The humble duty is, it is -"
He came here for a private meeting with a palace official. The palace official with whom he had a personal affair said that the Plum Blossom Pavilion was unattended tonight and asked him to meet here. He never expected that the emperor would come to the Plum Blossom Pavilion and even be involved in something.
The Queen Mother.
Originally, it was a capital crime to communicate privately with a palace official, but this time he was caught by the emperor. Doesn't it mean that God wants to kill him?
"The Emperor is asking you a question!" Li Yu was furious and yelled at the guard.
The guard was so frightened that he did not dare to lie in front of the emperor and told the truth. He also took out the invitation letter written by the palace maid to him.
Dugu Liancheng took a quick glance and ordered someone to take down the guards.
As for the chamberlain of Yong'an Palace, they still knelt on the ground and did not dare to look at Lord Long Live's face.
After dealing with the guards, Dugu Liancheng's eyes were fixed on Qing Le's face: "What did you say?"
Qing Le panicked, her legs weakened with fear, and she knelt down on the ground. She was still thankful at this moment, the emperor had already spared her twice, would he let her go this time?
She didn't expect that such a vicious plan would be discovered by Mu Ci, and what's more, she didn't expect that she would be defeated by Mu Ci's general.
"Your Majesty, I was also instigated by others. At that time, I just felt that the matter was of great importance and I must tell the Emperor. I did not expect that someone wanted to frame the Queen Mother--"
Dugu Liancheng said nothing, looking down at Qing Le from above: "Do you think that if I spared you once or twice, I will spare you the third time? You may have forgotten that I said that there is no third time!
"
Accompanied by the cool moonlight, his voice also chilled my heart.
When Chunfeng heard this, he knew that the emperor had believed Mu Ci's words.
She gritted her teeth, knelt on the ground, took out another letter from her arms, and handed it to the emperor: "It's my fault. It was my slave who forged the late emperor's letter and came up with this plan to frame the Queen Mother.
However, the master does not know that this is a poisonous plot devised by the slave, and the master is also deceived by the slave. The slave is responsible for everyone's work. Your Majesty, our master really knows nothing!"
