Chapter 14 The Queen Mother is forcing her into the palace
"Your Majesty, please."
The Dragon Guards stood in two rings around the Regent and King Xi, and He Yuandian was completely surrounded.
The Prince Regent, however, sat aloof from the incident, motionless. He was still playing with the cup, as if he could not see that the situation was tense and his life was at stake.
The exquisite cup in her hand was crystal clear and shimmered under the candlelight. It was made of the same kind of jade as the Queen Mother's ring finger.
Suddenly, it fell crisply on the table. It was not broken, but it was enough to attract the Queen Mother's attention.
"Look at the regent's hands starting to shake, but he still hasn't brought him back to Guangshou Palace for rest."
Guangshou Palace is the residence of the Empress Dowager, so there is no intention to release anyone from the palace.
The regent picked up a pot, poured a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
The taste is like tea, which is cool, bitter and astringent.
After the strange smell in his throat dissipated, he raised his head and looked at the woman who had just passed the late spring in the center of He Yuan Hall.
"Is the Queen Mother trying to force her into the palace?"
"Why did the Regent say this?" The Queen Mother suddenly smiled and pointed at the messy cups and plates on the ground. Her smile deepened, and there was ambition no longer concealed in her eyes: "Aren't you the ones who forced the palace? The Ai family is just pacifying.
It’s just civil unrest.”
After saying that, she met the calm eyes of Prince Regent Xi. The expressions on the two uncles and nephews were exactly the same as those of the late emperor, which made her feel disgusted.
"Don't you know what a big mistake you have made? Then let the Dragon Guard tell you."
“I sincerely obey the Queen Mother’s decree!”
The leader of the Dragon Guard immediately listed several crimes.
"The noble concubine committed regicide, King Xi wanted to seize power and usurp the throne, and the regent colluded with Nanxun to commit treason. The crime cannot be punished!"
He took the opportunity to blow another wave of rainbow farts, not forgetting to threaten him.
"If not for the Queen Mother's miraculous calculations and preparations, the country would not be able to survive! Today, the Queen Mother is benevolent and benevolent. Although she will spare you the death penalty, you will not be able to escape the crime of living!"
After hearing this, they realized that the imperial power was about to change, and some of the concubines in the harem who were shocked to realize that they were on the wrong side were so frightened that they cried and knelt down to beg for mercy on the spot.
"I am devoted to you and have no contact with King Xi. The Queen Mother is aware of this!"
"I was sent to the palace as a pawn by my father. It was true that I had no choice but to do so! There is a private letter from the regent in the palace, begging the Queen Mother for mercy!"
"I have lost my mother since I was a child. When I see you, I feel like my mother. I always think about being filial to you and asking for your mercy. The Queen Mother, please love me!"
One by one, they scrambled to kneel and crawl to the feet of the Queen Mother. Their buns were messed up, their clothes were dirty, and their dignity as a daughter of a wealthy family was gone.
The Queen Mother paid no attention to anyone, and kicked her hand away. If she couldn't kick it away, she stepped on it, and the delicate catkins blossomed on the fine pieces of porcelain, dripping with blood and flesh.
If it hurts, no one will dare to offend you anymore.
"What a bunch of little hooves who won't shed tears until they see the coffin! It's too late to think of taking refuge with the Queen Mother now!"
Concubine Gu, who had just accidentally fallen down and was stepped on, was cursing. At this moment, she knelt down and stood beside the Queen Mother, speaking flatteringly: "Let me do it, please don't step on the Queen Mother's feet. The Queen Mother's hand is injured.
You have to take good care of it."
The wound on the Queen Mother's hand had been bandaged, and fine cloth was wrapped between her fingers. She held the new jasper ring that was inconvenient to put on and covered it with her fingers, ignoring Mrs. Gu.
It was rare that she had some patience and could not waste it on unimportant people.
There are more important things right now.
Since the emperor is dead, he can only take action from the regent, Prince Xi.
"If you confess your sins obediently and tell the whereabouts of the divine seal, for the sake of the late emperor, the Ai family will definitely spare them."
It's just that the regent's mouth is really hard to pry.
"I don't know what the divine seal is."
"On the contrary, this He Yuandian..." He paused, "Now there are ghost marks everywhere, it's very scary."
Rong Cen, who was about to fall asleep while playing the role of a corpse, woke up from his doze when he heard this sentence and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
As expected of an imperial uncle, he is insightful.
Although the friendly troops were also scolded, it was obvious that our own people were very thick-skinned and were not affected at all.
On the other hand, the Queen Mother's mentality was not good enough. She was so angry that she wanted to throw a jade finger at her.
Rong Cen was just waiting for her to fall. Hearing a crisp sound would make him feel more energetic.
As a result, she stopped falling!
He didn’t grit his teeth and said harsh words. How could a person who usually gets extremely angry every minute be so bearable today?
Rong Cen didn't see the changes in the Queen Mother's face, and it was very difficult to calm down his anger.
She just heard her say: "So, the regent has refused to plead guilty?"
There was silence in the hall, no one responded.
The tense atmosphere became more and more intense, and Rong Cen always felt that the Queen Mother was going to go crazy the next moment, and that the drama was about to end.
But I heard the Queen Mother smiling like a winner and saying, "What about King Xi?"
Hard bones cannot be chewed, but soft bones are easy to chew.
"Jin Yu, your mother-in-law personally confessed to the crime of regicide and asked to be hanged in Kangning Palace."
Then, slight footsteps sounded, and it must be the Queen Mother walking to the table where King Xi was present.
"Don't be afraid, Jinyu. The Ai family has sent someone to rescue your mother and concubine, and they have allowed her to stay in the palace for a year and not leave the palace to copy scriptures to pay for her sin."
"There have been rumors in the palace that the imperial concubine had long wanted to kill the king, but the Ai family never believed it. Sister Lu is a pure nature, how could she be like that?"
Concubine Lu Gui and Prince Xi had always had a close mother-son affection, and the Empress Dowager deliberately mentioned it just to tease him.
But King Xi didn't do what she wanted.
"Whether you believe it or not, it all depends on the Queen Mother." The young man's voice was clear and clear, and he looked directly at her, "The Emperor's brother suddenly encountered an unexpected incident, but the Queen Mother is not sad?"
Not to mention him, Rong Cen also found it weird and weird.
She is the Queen Mother's only son, but she is regarded as her number one enemy.
Her mother wanted to kill her countless times.
She had enough reason to suspect that her life experience was fake.
The Queen Mother sneered: "The Ai family understands, and King Xi is unwilling to admit guilt."
"What a pitiful parent in the world. She tried her best to plan for you for many years, and then she was exposed and had to bear the blame alone. Why bother?"
"Since neither of you want to talk to the Aijia, let's go to the secret cell and talk to the cruel officials."
The Queen Mother waved, "Dragon Guard."
"I will take down all the traitors and rebels right now!"
The dragon guards all flashed their personal swords and pointed them at the two "thief leaders" present.
The sharp sword was unsheathed and made a clanging sound.
At the same time, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard outside the palace, clanging, clanging, and endless.
The body of the commander of the imperial army was kicked straight into the He Yuan Palace by someone who didn't know who, and the desk that was spared the chaos was smashed.
A severed arm rolled to Concubine Gu's feet. She was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground and screamed wildly.
The Queen Mother was also startled, but she held on, "Don't shut her mouth yet!"
As soon as she finished speaking, before she could order the deployment of defense, there was a "swish" sound, and two feather arrows flew out of thin air. One left and one right passed her cheek at the same time, leaving two blood marks.
Just a little bit! Her life would be at risk!
"Protect the Dragon Guard!"
The Queen Mother could no longer hold on, her legs were weak and trembling, and her speech was unclear, as if she was suffering from aphasia.
And a clear and powerful answer came from outside the hall——
"The Dragon Guard is here!"
