Chapter 348: The Devil Smile(1/2)
"Empress."
In Yi Yan's palace, the palace maid standing behind the pearl curtain whispered.
Jiang Xiangchan, who was taking a nap in the hall, opened her eyes when she heard the sound. Madam Zeng next to her looked at the other side of the pearl curtain with some displeasure, and walked forward to help Jiang Xiangchan up.
"Empress, he is the palace maid from the outer hall, and seems to have something to report."
Jiang Xiangchan raised her eyebrows, sat up slowly, waved her hand, "Let her come in."
"Empress, you are not feeling well, so don't listen to those..."
"Let her come in. It was the palace who specially asked her to stare at what happened in the previous dynasty. Something must have happened before," Jiang Xiangchan narrowed her eyes and woke up.
Madam Zeng glanced at Jiang Xiangchan's big belly and signaled the palace maid Shui Xiu to invite people outside in.
The palace maid came over and knelt down and said, "Imperial Concubine, the emperor invited Princess Wei to Tiaoqing Hall for meals today, and he never came out again. I heard from the people inside that the emperor had some disputes with Princess Wei. The emperor hurried to see Commander Zhuo but did not see Princess Wei leaving Tiaoqing Hall. The admiral was also rushing to Tiaoqing Hall at this time. Seeing that something had happened, I dared not delay and came to report immediately."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiangchan and others were a little stiff.
"Empress, it's the personal business of King Qi and the others. If something happens to Princess Qi, King Qi will not stand by even if she is on the verge of attention." Madam Zeng was afraid that she would care about this little business, so she hurriedly spoke.
Jiang Xiangchan smiled bitterly and said, "Does the nanny think I am worried about Princess Lu?"
Isn't it?
"I am worried about the emperor and that something will break out."
Jiang Xiangchan reminded me like this, and Madam Zeng also thought about the seriousness of the matter.
"Is the Empress worried that the King will lose control?"
She didn't know whether Chu Qi lost control or not, she only knew that the emperor had lost control!
She was worried that what she expected would happen because of this. She was sitting in the imperial concubine's position, and there were many things she could not help but make decisions.
Seeing Jiang Xiangchan's expression, Madam Zeng was also a little anxious, "What should I do now?"
Jiang Xiangchan smiled bitterly again. What else can I do?
I can only sit and watch the progress of things.
Jiang Xiangchan would not worry about Mu Jinghong's safety at all.
With Mu Jinghong's ability, Tiaoqing Palace can't trap her.
"What's going on in Jiang Mansion? I'll send someone to the outside palace for a trip. I'm trapped here and don't know anything about the outside world, and I'm really anxious."
If the Jiang family is also involved, how should she prepare?
She is the emperor's wife. If the Jiang Mansion chose King Yan, in which direction will her status develop in the future?
What if the Jiang Mansion is defeated by King Qi? Will the outcome be the same as the Gu Mansion?
The more Jiang Xiangchan thought about it, the more he became, the more chaotic he became.
"I'm going to arrange for someone to leave the palace now," Madam Zeng didn't dare to delay and turned around to go.
The palace maid kneeling on the ground said, "Empress, it's too late, the palace gate has been blocked. Without the emperor's token, no one can enter and exit, and you are no exception."
Jiang Xiangchan's face turned pale, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger. The emperor wouldn't really do anything today.
Probably not.
"Go to each palace to see if there is any other news. I will keep an eye on the movements of the previous dynasty, especially the Tiaoqing Palace."
The palace gate could not go out, so she could only stay in the palace to see the situation. Now in the palace, she could not move anything, so she could only sit here and watch.
...
"Bang."
Zhuo Yao was thrown into a cup again under his feet, enduring the emperor's anger.
"What did you just say? Whose people are among those?"
"The old subordinate of Duanmu family."
"I remember that anyone who has any relationship with the Duanmu family has been removed. Now you tell me that there are people from the Duanmu family in it?" When it comes to the Duanmu family, Chu Yu was on the verge of losing control.
Zhuo Yaoshu lowered his head and continued, "Your Majesty, I have already interrogated clearly. It is indeed the former former subordinate of the Duanmu family, or the direct subordinate of the Duanmu priest. As the Wu Zhu of the Duanmu family, there are always some loyal people around the Duanmu priest. The loyalty engraved in the blood of the bones will not betray their master even if it gives them the greatest temptation in the world."
Chu Yu said in a dark face, "You don't need to remind me. I know more about the kind of people around Duanmu Zunyue than you, otherwise there would be no ability to arrange for the rest of the Duanmu family to escape from Kyoto City. I regret not taking action earlier. If it were earlier, wouldn't it be less trouble? Ayue, you still betrayed me, and you arranged these people behind your back. I really underestimated you."
Zhuo Yaoshu listened quietly to Chu Yu's words, his slightly lowered eyes as cold as a knife.
Chu Yu immediately said: "Dig out the others and deal with them as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, this matter is probably not easy."
"It's not easy to do it! I don't want to hear any news about being related to the Duanmu family."
Chu Yu's face was gloomy.
Zhuo Yaoshu took the favor and accepted the order. He was about to retreat and suddenly remembered something and turned back and said, "Emperor, if you get help from Princess Qi, I would like to get twice the result with half the effort. I also asked the emperor to issue an order to ask Princess Qi to investigate the matter together!"
Chu Yu stared at him with a squinted eyes.
It took me a long time to tell you, "Princess Qi is inconvenient today. You can take someone down to check first. After I discuss with Princess Qi, I will send you to help you."
"But……"
"Zhuo Yaoshu, haven't I heard what I said?"
"Yes, I'll leave."
Zhuo Yao retreated outside. When hesitated, he saw Lu Wenqing strode towards him in black official uniform, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Lu."
Lu Wenqing nodded slightly and crossed over him.
Zhuo Yaoshu wanted to ask about Mu Jinghong's situation and stopped talking again. Princess Shi should be fine. Even if the emperor traps her now, someone will try his best to rescue her.
Thinking of the possible changes in this matter, Zhuo Yaoshu did not dare to delay and hurriedly went down to prepare for the possible emergencies.
He raised his hand and pinched the small item sent by Mu Jinghong, but it was just a mascot that he played with casually.
What he can do now, and the next thing he will do is to see Lu Wenqing.
...
Mu Jinghong was detained in Tiaoqing Palace, and the emperor suddenly ordered the entry and exit of the palace to block the situation, causing the situation to stalemate.
Hua Xieying hurriedly found Chu Ji from the yamen.
Chu Qi, who was rushing to another place, was stopped by Hua Xieying. He only heard him ask in an incredible tone, "What is King Qi doing? Didn't King Qi receive the news from the palace? Princess Qi is now trapped by the emperor in the Tiaoqing Palace, but King Qi still has leisure to wander around."
Staring at the angry Hua Xieying, Chu Qi's eyes turned cold and his tone was calm, "A Hong had already come to this kind of thing, and she must have been prepared. What is Lord Hua doing?"
"You just leave her alone? She is a human being, not a living god! No matter how well-established the calculation, there will be times when there is a mistake. A person's fate can be reversed by an accident, not to mention that she is divining herself. If it doesn't work, will she have to bear terrible consequences? How can King Wu let her take risks alone!"
Hua Xieying almost roared out in anger.
Chu Qi said coldly: "What do Lord Hua think I am going to do now? Do you want to delay time for Chu Yu when you stop me?"
"Then what is King Qi going to do," he didn't see a trace of anxiety in Chu Qi's face.
"Mr. Hua will do something for me," Chu Qi looked at him and said.
"Please say it."
"Mr. Hua goes out and takes your people out, causing some chaos in a short period of time. I remember that the officials in several cities near Kyoto City had a lot of ideas. Mr. Hua gathered these people for me. This little thing is not difficult for Mr. Hua."
"The King wants to be the bad guy."
Chu Qi looked over with deep eyes, "Do whatever you want. Even if Lord Hua accepts bribes, I am happy to see it."
Hua Xieying said coldly: "The officials will do this, but the prince will solve the matter as soon as possible in the palace."
Chu Qi's thin lips curled, and the chill flashed, "If you have me outside, you will take the initiative to contact Lord Hua and help Lord Hua with your help."
Hua Xieying turned her back onto the horse, and she didn't even look at him, and took her horse out of the city with her men.
...
The palace gate half an hour later.
Chu Qi strode into the door, and when someone stopped him, his sword was wiping his neck, and blood splattered on the spot.
This move scared the guards to tense their bodies, pulled out their spears and swords and aimed them at Chu Qi who was breaking into the palace.
Several guards stood behind him.
The two sides confronted each other.
"Yi, Xiao Wang... do you know that breaking into the palace is a death sentence."
The guards stuttered.
Chu Qi smiled coldly, "Death crime? Then let the emperor stand up and punish the king's crime."
He swept the cold sword in his hand and took the lives of the previous people directly, and then he started.
The King, who has always felt gentle and fragile, stood here at this time and was surrounded by a sense of hostility, as if he had become a different person.
Like the god of killing, standing coldly in front and watching them.
To be continued...
