This script is going to be cool [Rebirth]
Chapter 47 [Lies]
Zhong Bochen and I led the imperial guards to Hujiazhuang, and asked the palace people to keep their mouths shut, and don't let the queen mother rush out after hearing about it.In the middle of the night, we searched all the wineries but could not find the sixth brother and Xu Changzhi.The owner of the winery said that he had seen a son who bought dozens of jugs of green plum wine, but he left at noon and did not stay here.
I was so anxious that I walked the route back to the outer suburbs, and suddenly an old man who looked like a woodcutter came up and said that he seemed to have seen a rich man and his entourage driving by here, with wine in his hand.Just when he reached the hill ahead, he was robbed by a group of people.
"How many people? From which direction?" I asked hastily.The old man casually pointed in a direction, and there should be a dense forest over there.I was about to lead my troops to go, but Zhong Bochen stopped the old man who was about to run away, and shouted loudly: "Come on, take him down!"
"My lord! Why are you tying up the grassroots! The grassroots are just passing by!" The old man was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Zhong Bochen said indifferently: "Since they were driving, how could you see the two of them with wine in their hands? Seeing someone being taken captive, they neither reported to the police nor escaped, and stayed in the wilderness in the middle of the night. Well, there is no sign of a fight here, could it be that he was captured without a fight? You clearly waited for us here on purpose."
The old man was pushed to the ground by the two imperial guards with their hands cut behind their backs, and a big knife was struck on the neck, which made him scream out of his wits in fright.I looked at this person's appearance with the help of a torch, and felt that he was very familiar, so I subconsciously got off my horse, stepped forward and pulled his beard, which turned out to be fake.
"Eunuch Liu of Fangxin Palace?" I recognized who he was at a glance.This person used to be a popular person around my mother. Whenever I was spanked when I was young, he was the one who checked the numbers.I just said that he has a high-pitched voice, not like an ordinary farmer's old man.
Eunuch Liu cried out, his face as white as paper: "Your Highness the Prince Regent! This servant only said that under the orders of Aunt Xianghe! Your Highness, forgive me! This servant knows his mistake!"
Aunt Xianghe is the queen's personal maid, how could she be involved in this matter?I was in a daze when Zhong Bochen suddenly whispered in my ear: "Your Highness, go back to the palace. His Highness King Jin is fine, so let's not disturb the people anymore."
"I haven't seen anyone, so how do you know nothing happened?" I was still very uneasy.
"I'll have to ask the Empress Dowager." Zhong Bochen's face darkened, and he motioned for me to get on the horse and leave quickly.
After returning to the palace, I escorted the court lady Xiang He to question me.The palace man reported back that the empress dowager obstructed us in every possible way to capture him, and had no choice but to use the imperial guards to arrest the maid Xianghe.I panicked: "Didn't I tell you to hide it from your mother! How can I explain it now!"
"Your Highness. I don't think it's necessary to hide the truth from the Queen Mother." Zhong Bochen turned to look at Xiang He who was being held on the ground: "Who is the person who kidnapped His Highness King Jin? Tell us the truth!"
"Yes... yes..." Xianghe's eyes drifted away, and he raised his head to test my face in a panic: "It's from the Kingdom of Chengxuan! The prince of the Kingdom of Shengxuan was dissatisfied with Princess Chunxi's repentance of the marriage, and designed to kidnap His Royal Highness King Jin , trying to harm him!"
I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.This is terrible, Li Qing is really small-minded, if the sixth younger brother falls into his hands, he will have to be skinned if he does not die.It's just that Li Qing is as timid as a mouse, who borrowed his brave heart and leopard courage to make him dare to rob the prince on my territory?Frightened and at a loss, the queen mother rushed over after hearing the news, and shouted after stepping into the hall: "Cen Yue! Haven't you found Rui'er yet!"
I hurriedly got up and asked my mother to sit down, and said guilty: "Mother, it is my son's negligence, and let the thieves take the sixth brother away. Mother, don't worry, the sixth brother is a prince, and he is protected by Xu guards. The thieves dare not hurt him easily. .”
"Then why don't you go out of the palace to find Rui'er, what are you doing when you come back?" The queen mother glared, and with a wave of her sleeves, she threw the teacup on the coffee table beside her to the ground and smashed it to pieces: "There is also Princess Chunxi. In the early years, there was an indiscriminate quarrel, and now Ruier suffers because of her, such a woman, don't mind!"
"Why did the empress dowager say such a thing!" It really said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here.Princess Chunxi also came in from outside the palace, with a haggard face trying to hide her anger: "Although Chunxi had a marriage contract with the prince Li Qing, it was just a piece of paper, a joke made casually when he was young. Chunxi is as good as Ji I haven't seen Prince Li Qing again, so why is it unclear?"
"But it's a fact that Rui'er was taken away by the people of Shengxuan Kingdom!" The queen mother refused to let go, and said sharply: "If you hadn't provoke the Crown Prince of Shengxuan Kingdom, how could Rui'er be in danger! Now that Ruier's life and death are unknown, Can't the princess give me an explanation?"
Princess Chunxi bit her lips with tears in her eyes: "His Highness is missing, and Chunxi is also very anxious. The Empress Dowager does not put His Highness King Jin's safety first, but is anxious to blame Chunxi. It is really strange."
"You have no rules!" The queen mother's voice suddenly rose to a higher level, shaking the coffee table: "If something happens to Rui'er, the Ai family will definitely not let you off!"
I listened to this exchange of words and swords, and turned around in agitation and anxiety. I suddenly had a strange guess.I subconsciously looked at Zhong Bochen, only to see that he nodded slightly, as if he had seen through what I was thinking.My brain suddenly buzzed and a bell rang, so I had to sit back in my chair and force myself to calm down.
The queen mother unilaterally suppressed Princess Chunxi and scolded her. Due to her status, Princess Chunxi did not dare to speak back, so she turned her head and wept silently.I looked at the restless palace maid Xianghe kneeling in the center of the hall, and sneered, "Come here. I will torture this poor servant girl, and let her find out the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Jin!"
"How dare you! She is the personal maid of the Ai family!" The queen mother immediately turned her head around and looked at me with wide eyes.
I looked at her silently, and there was no more ups and downs in my emotions, not even disappointment.It is said that grief is greater than death, which may refer to my current situation.
"Mother, are you old-fashioned?" I smiled at her with a pleasant face: "This lowly servant girl colluded with the people of Shengxuan Kingdom and kidnapped the sixth younger brother. It is not an exaggeration to beat her to death. Why should the mother protect her? Is it possible? Does the queen mother know that there is another secret in it?"
The queen mother was dumb, shrank her body, and turned her head away not daring to look at me.Several palace people wanted to drag Xianghe away, but I stopped them: "I will fight here. This king wants to hear her tell the truth with my own ears."
Xianghe was pressed to the ground and tortured.I closed my eyes and listened to her howling, and counted on the armrest of the chair with my fingers.I don't know if my mother was sitting in the hall watching a play in the same posture when I was on the board.It's just that I don't have Xianghe's good voice, and I can't shout such a high-pitched voice, so I can only whimper like a stray dog.
Xiang He was beaten more than 40 boards, and she couldn't vent her anger.The queen mother was restless, stamped her feet and scolded: "Cen Yue! Are you going to beat her to death so that there is no proof?!"
"Dead? That's not enough." I opened my eyes and looked at the queen mother, and put one hand on my forehead and said: "The queen mother. At that time, Erchen was young and suffered countless boards but did not die. This lowly maidservant is older. Erchen is so old and has a strong body, so it would be great to hit him a few more times for you to hear."
"Cen Yue, what do you mean!" The queen mother stood up abruptly, pointed at my nose and yelled: "You don't go to Rui'er, what's your intention here to delay time?"
"What the queen mother said is very true." I waved my hand and told Lu Jiu'an: "Go and invite Duke Ding. If he doesn't want to come, then bring him in."
Ding Guogong is the only biological elder brother of the empress mother. In terms of seniority, I have to be called an emperor's uncle.As soon as my words fell, the queen mother immediately stepped forward to block Lu Jiuan's way: "The Ai family does not allow..."
"Don't you understand human language!" I growled, "My king told you to hurry up and invite me!".
"Cen Yue! Why are you disturbing him in the middle of the night!" The queen mother was furious, and ran to me to argue with me.Zhong Bochen took a step forward to block me from behind, I raised my hand and pushed him away, standing in front of the mother's queen and staring straight into her eyes, I finally saw a trace of guilt.After confronting each other for less than half a minute, the empress mother lowered her raised hand tremblingly, her footsteps were erratic, and there was even more fear in her expression.
"Queen Mother, I'm just telling you this once." I lowered my voice, and a gloomy and gloomy atmosphere enveloped the entire hall: "If you want to calm things down, hand over the sixth brother as soon as possible. Don't play any more tricks Dongyin's role. You are dissatisfied with Princess Chunxi, that's fine. You don't need to end this marriage, lest Her Royal Highness be wronged by you again."
That's right.All of this is very likely to be written and performed by the queen mother herself.The queen mother loves the sixth brother, and when something happened to the sixth brother, she was not in a hurry, and she was so concerned about absolving the court lady involved, and arguing with Chunxi clearly and logically, this is not normal; moreover, Xu Changzhi has a tough temper, he It is impossible for the people of Ren Sheng Xuanguo to take the sixth brother away, and they will definitely die.There is no trace of a fight at the scene, what does it mean?It means that Xu Changzhi approved that the other party took the sixth brother away, because the person who came was an acquaintance of the sixth brother, and he couldn't make him refuse.
Those who meet these conditions can only be relatives of the sixth brother, relatives of the royal family, that is, members of the mother's family.
The queen mother took great pains to prevent the sixth brother from going to Qi country.Hid the sixth younger brother, planted it on Sheng Xuanguo, then accused Princess Chunxi of indiscretion, and then regretted the marriage.After all the dust settles, release the sixth younger brother as if nothing happened.She has really abandoned the face of the imperial court by making such a fuss, and completely wiped out the relationship we have finally established with Qi Guo.How could the Qi State allow their princess to be humiliated, and how could I just sit back and do nothing when my sixth brother was taken away by the people of Shengxuan State? When the time comes, the three kingdoms will fight together, and the Turks will come to "send charcoal in the snow". !
Of course, these are just my conjectures.I still have a glimmer of hope for my mother.I think she has also gone from the queen of the world to the current queen mother after all.This extreme stupidity should not have been written by her.I tried to hold my breath and sat upright, waiting for a result.
The moon is accompanied by the shadows of the lanterns in the palace, and the wind sends the sound of horseshoes back.Not long after, the person sent out to "invite" Duke Ding came back.Mr. Ding Guogong walked in angrily.
"Your Highness the Regent! What's the hurry?" Duke Ding asked, stroking his beard.
I asked in a low voice: "Does the Duke know where His Royal Highness King Jin is?"
"What? His Royal Highness King Jin is missing?" Duke Ding asked me with an exaggerated stare.
I was about to get up and tell the story.I saw another team of guards running in, with my bewildered sixth brother behind me: "Report to Your Highness. I have intercepted His Highness King Jin on the way to the Gu family's ancestral house under the secret order of the Prime Minister! "
I looked at the queen mother.Her face turned pale in an instant, and the rosary in her hand slipped onto her skirt and she inadvertently picked it up.
The sixth brother walked up to me, looked back at his gloomy uncle and mother blankly, and grinned a little embarrassedly: "Fifth brother! Uncle, he doesn't know why, so he insisted on letting me see his newly bought one. Tea house. I shied away for a long time, but was forced into the sedan chair..."
"Oh, where have you been!" Princess Chunxi ran over crying with joy, and shook the sixth brother's hand vigorously: "It is rumored that you were captured by people from Shengxuan Kingdom. You scared me to death!"
"Ah?!" The sixth brother looked at me in surprise: "Fifth Brother. Didn't Guard Xu go ahead and deliver the letter to you..."
Yes, where is my bodyguard?They will not allow Xu Changzhi to report back to the palace.Whether you send Eunuch Liu to show us the wrong way, or let Xianghe confuse the audience, it's all for delaying time.That being the case...
As the only insider, Xu Changzhi may have been silenced.
I looked at Duke Ding, and asked word by word: "Where's my bodyguard?"
"I don't know." Ding Guogong looked up at the sky, as if a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
My throat was burning with pain, and a mouthful of pus and blood pressure on my heart and lungs made me almost crazy: "Take down Duke Ding! Immediately seal the Duke Ding's mansion and search for the whereabouts of Guard Xu."
"I'm your uncle! How dare you treat me like this!" Ding Guogong was furious, pushing and shoving the guards beside him.
I looked at him silently.I felt as if I had turned into a stiff stone statue, losing all my warmth, only breathing weakly.Brother is right, the moment I sit on the throne, I am a "widow".
"I'm not even close to my mother. Can I still recognize you as uncle?" There seemed to be a hole in the center of my heart, and the feeling of emptiness amplified a little bit: "If anything happens to Guard Xu, I will not let you go."
"I'm the Duke who was conferred by the late Emperor! It's just a bodyguard, why do you take me!" Ding Guogong was tied up by the imperial guards, kicking and kicking.
I couldn't help laughing out loud: "Mr. Ding, do you think that your crimes of corruption and bribery and salt smuggling these years can escape the eyes of this king? This king sees that you are a relative of the empress dowager, and you are old. I will save face for you. I will wait for you to talk about this matter a hundred years later. However, you have offended me today! You provoked disputes between the two countries, disregarded human lives, and you deserve to be punished!"
"You dare to kill me?!" Ding Guogong's eyes were red, and the hat with the night pearl shook my eyes completely.
"Why don't you dare!" I tore off his hat and threw it on the ground, and kicked him out again.The hat collided with the pillar of the main hall, and there seemed to be a muffled thunder, like an arrow breaking from the pillar, and the flying electricity flew through the gap and turned the load, knocking out a hole in a magnificent but decayed screen.Through the hole, I saw that the word "family affection" had been completely burned by the queen mother herself.
Duke Dingguo's gray hair fell down, his pupils constricted and his arrogance dissipated in an instant, he became muddy and terrified, his legs were stretched and dragged to the ground by the guards: "Your Highness...this is all Empress Dowager...Empress Dowager, she...I don't know...that bodyguard..." Ding Guogong almost trembled so much that he couldn't speak.
"My king wants someone." I took one last look at Duke Ding and ordered someone to throw him into the dungeon.
I walked out of the hall, gathered all the imperial guards, and ordered them to find Xu Changzhi even if they dug three feet into the ground.Live to see people, die to see corpses.Zhong Bochen followed, and whispered in my ear: "Your Highness, you go back to Jiaming Hall first. I will accompany you, how about waiting for Guard Xu to come back?"
I nodded dully, Ren Lu Jiuan carried the sedan chair and sent me back to Jiaming Hall.I held Zhong Bochen's hand, moved a chair, and sat in front of the door in a daze.Until the sky turned slightly pale, finally the news came back.
I was so anxious that I walked the route back to the outer suburbs, and suddenly an old man who looked like a woodcutter came up and said that he seemed to have seen a rich man and his entourage driving by here, with wine in his hand.Just when he reached the hill ahead, he was robbed by a group of people.

I walked out of the hall, gathered all the imperial guards, and ordered them to find Xu Changzhi even if they dug three feet into the ground.Live to see people, die to see corpses.Zhong Bochen followed, and whispered in my ear: "Your Highness, you go back to Jiaming Hall first. I will accompany you, how about waiting for Guard Xu to come back?"
I nodded dully, Ren Lu Jiuan carried the sedan chair and sent me back to Jiaming Hall.I held Zhong Bochen's hand, moved a chair, and sat in front of the door in a daze.Until the sky turned slightly pale, finally the news came back.
