Chapter 52 Two Major Events Happened in the Palace
After a sumptuous palace lunch, Ye Liuguang accompanied Yu Hongzhuang to lower the flying flag.Jun Ruyue was taken by the court lady Ruowei to see Xiaoxue.
As for the spring rolls and the bean buns, Ye Liuguang specially gave them a vacation and asked the two to stroll around the small garden near Juxiu Palace, saying that it was rare to enter the palace, and let them take a good look at the scenery in the palace.
"Little princess, it's up to you to play the dice..." Ye Liuguang greeted Yu Hongzhuang with a smile, always felt that she was a little different today, as if she was always distracted.
"Oh, good." Yu Hongzhuang came back to her senses and smiled mischievously, took the porcelain cup for throwing dice from Ye Liuguang's hand, and shook it.Seeing that she was still a little weak, Ye Liuguang asked, "Little princess, what's wrong with you today? Is there something on your mind?"
Yu Hongzhuang can't hide things in her heart, and after learning about the marriage of Prince Arslen of Tatar today, her heart is indeed a little panicked. Now, when Ye Liuguang asks her, she can't make up her mind. Told her all about it.
After hearing this, Ye Liuguang was also in a bad mood. After thinking about it, he said, "Little princess, do you want me to help you?"
Yu Hongzhuang looked at her, unsure but also hopeful and asked: "How can you help me? Aren't you already married to Sister Yue'er?"
"I'm married to Ruyue, but I can pretend to be someone else and change my identity, as long as I defeat the prince of Tatar and keep you in Dazhou. As for when we get married in the future, just pretend to be coaxing." Just coax the prince of Tatar. It is impossible for him to stay in the capital all the time, he must go back. Besides, you can tell your father and mother about this matter, and they will definitely not blame you, or they are I want someone to do this." Ye Liuguang explained.
"If you do this, will Sister Yue'er feel uncomfortable? Is it your fault?"
"I don't think so. Although she is a jealous person, she can clearly distinguish major matters."
Just at this time, Jun Ruyue walked in with Xiaoxue in her arms. Hearing Ye Liuguang's words from afar, she snorted on purpose, and said very seriously and dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, what are you talking about? Who said I was Vinegar jar?"
"Look, say vinegar jar, and vinegar jar will come." Ye Liuguang spread his hands and smiled.
Jun Ruyue walked up to the two of them and stared at Ye Liuguang, "What big thing did you just say? What is it?"
So Ye Liuguang told Jun Ruyue all the words between himself and Yu Hongzhuang just now, and finally asked: "What do you think of my idea of helping the little princess?"
"Very good, let's do it like this. I'll go cheer you up then, hehe. But, you can't show your true colors, otherwise people will disqualify you as a married man from the competition."
"Would I be that stupid? Really!"
After hearing these words, Yu Hongzhuang at the side finally put her heart in her stomach, and with a smile on her face, she said: "Then I will trouble Brother Xiaoguang to beat those Tatar warriors and national teachers for me. ran away."
"That's natural, little princess, don't worry. However, if there are other heroes from our Great Zhou who teach them for you, I won't be in a hurry. Maybe this person is really suitable for the little princess." Ye Ye Liu Guang smiled.
Jun Ruyue on the side added, "My husband is right, so you have to save your trump card for last."
Yu Hongzhuang couldn't help but blush a little when she heard what the two said. Is the hero who is suitable for her suitable for her husband in the future?But why did she inexplicably think of that person named Hua Li when Brother Xiaoguang and Sister Yue'er said that?However, judging by his scribe's attire, he probably isn't a hero, so to me, he is still the moon in the mirror, a flower in the water.
Hey, thinking of this, she couldn't help letting out a long breath, feeling a little disappointed.
Seeing Xiaoxue in Jun Ruyue's arms in a blink of an eye, she stretched out her hand to touch its head, and said, "Sister Yue'er, it seems that Xiaoxue has a good relationship with you. Look at you holding him, how cute is he?" Quiet, you are sleeping obediently."
Jun Ruyue smiled and nodded, "Yeah, he has a much better temper than Xiaobai. But, what happened to his legs?"
"Its leg is injured, and it needs to be changed for seven days to fully recover. When its injury is completely healed, I will bring it to you."
"Oh, thank you so much, Your Royal Highness, little princess." Jun Ruyue smiled very brightly, her face was completely like a blooming sunflower, "By the way, I don't have much to thank you for, so I'll invite the little princess to come some other day." Let's come over and let me cook for you, okay?"
Yu Hongzhuang agreed, "Okay. To be honest, Sister Yue'er cooks pretty good dishes. I haven't seen or eaten many of them."
Ye Liuguang agrees with this sentence, because Xiaoxue is a cat, and she has also been exposed to it. It is really not easy to eat the dishes made by the big slob and the little greedy cat.
While the three were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion outside, as if something happened, so they stopped talking and looked out the window.Only the sound of chaotic footsteps under the corridor of the palace was heard.Immediately, a eunuch rushed in, threw himself directly at Yu Hongzhuang's feet, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness Princess, it's not good, something happened, something serious happened!"
"Little Dongzi, what's the matter, please speak up." Yu Hongzhuang looked at the eunuch kneeling at her feet and asked.
Xiao Dongzi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Returning to the princess, the servant girl was just ordered to lead the young palace master and young lady's two followers of Biluo Palace to play in the small garden behind Juxiu Palace. When a group of guards came in, they saw these two attendants without saying a word, they came up and kidnapped him, scaring the slaves and making the two attendants very surprised."
"Spring rolls and bean buns?" Ye Liuguang immediately asked incredulously, "What happened?"
"Yes, Xiaodongzi, tell me quickly, what's the matter? Why did the guards in the palace tie up spring rolls and bean buns?" Yu Hongzhuang asked anxiously.
Xiao Dongzi replied: "At that time, the slaves were as strange as the two attendants, so they asked the head of the guards why they came to arrest them. The head of the guards said that just a quarter of an hour ago, two major events happened in the palace."
"Two big things?" Yu Hongzhuang murmured, a little in disbelief, and said, "It's broad daylight, what can happen in the palace?"
Xiaodongzi answered, "According to the head of the guards, the first thing that happened was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace was stabbed just now..."
"What? My brother was stabbed? There is such a thing? Is he seriously injured?" Yu Hongzhuang asked anxiously.
"It's said that the prince pierced his chest with a sword, and the prince fell into a coma immediately. At this moment, all the people from the Imperial Hospital have gone to the East Palace to rescue His Highness the prince. The emperor and empress are also in a hurry!"
When Yu Hongzhuang heard this, her face changed with fright, her heart jumped up, and she immediately wanted to rush to the East Palace to see her elder brother.But she hadn't figured out the second matter and why she wanted to kidnap the person from Biluo Palace, so she asked Xiaodongzi to tell the rest.
"The second thing is that the Treasure Pavilion in the palace was stolen, and the ice dragon pendant that Long Live Lord treasured was stolen. And according to the guards in the palace guarding the Treasure Pavilion, the person who stole the treasure, they vaguely saw He was wearing the clothes worn by the disciples of Biluo Palace. When he chased after him, the man was very good at lightness kung fu, so he escaped. And the guards guarding the prince at the prince's east palace said that the person who stabbed the prince also wore clothes The clothes of Biluo Palace. Therefore, when the guards saw the two servants of Biluo Palace accompanied by the servant, they kidnapped them. The servant couldn't stop them. They didn't believe what the servant said."
"These fools, haven't you been with the spring rolls and bean buns all the time? Even if they are from the Biluo Palace, how can they go to assassinate and steal treasures? I think they are afraid that my father will blame me, so they deliberately tied them up. People go to make up the number, so as to offset the guilt." Yu Hongzhuang said angrily.
After hearing this, Ye Liuguang murmured, "In just a short while, our Biluo Palace has done two shocking things. Who is going to frame us like this? Confine us to unwarranted crimes, what are they trying to do?"
"This is an obvious framing. He did these two things in broad daylight, and deliberately let people know that he was from Biluo Palace. If the people from Biluo Palace really wanted to do this kind of thing, why should people know their identity. I don't think the emperor is that stupid, right?" Jun Ruyue said lightly.
"But I'm worried that His Majesty the Emperor will be so angry at the moment, he won't be so rational, and may make the spring rolls and bean buns suffer a little bit." Ye Liuguang rubbed his forehead and said in a manly voice, "It seems that we may stay in the palace for a long time today It's been a while."
"Brother Xiaoguang, sister Yue'er, don't worry, I will go and tell my father about this matter, I believe he will listen to me. You wait here for me now. I will give you the answer soon." Come back with good news." Yu Hongzhuang comforted the two, turned around and ordered the maids and eunuchs in the palace to take good care of them, and she hurried to the Prince's East Palace, Ciqing Palace, with her people.
In the Ciqing Palace, Emperor Yu Chengtai anxiously walked back and forth in the Prince's bedroom with hands behind his back, while Empress Dong Wanmei sat on an arhat couch wiping away tears with a strip of silk, weeping in a low voice.The imperial physicians were nervously healing Prince Yu's wounds around the dragon bed.
The eunuch Xue Xian, the head of the imperial guard, hurried in, bowed and saluted, and said softly to Yu Chengtai: "Long live, just now Xu Cheng, the commander of the imperial guard, came in and said that his guards had already caught two Bi Luos." The assassin of the palace, he is now tied up and imprisoned in Beizhen Fusizhao Prison. Waiting for His Majesty to deal with him."
"Let Zhou Xin, the admiral of the East Factory, go and examine the two assassins of Biluo Palace for me, and pass on my order to order Wucheng Bing Ma Si to immediately send troops to Jingbitang, the branch hall of Biluo Palace in the capital. I surrounded them, and I arrested the Young Palace Master and others who came back to Beijing!" Yu Chengtai said angrily.
"Yes, servant girl will do it now!" Xue Xianying bowed and retreated out of the hall.
"Father, wait!" A delicate woman's voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and shouted again, "Xue Xian stands!"
Xue Xian immediately stopped when he heard the voice, turned around and bowed deeply flatteringly: "My servant pays homage to Your Highness the Second Princess!"
Yu Hongzhuang let out a "hmm", hurriedly walked to the emperor and knelt down to salute, "My daughter has met the emperor."
The emperor Xuxu stretched out his hand to support him, and said, "Get up, have you come to see your brother?"
Yu Hongzhuang straightened up and said, "Daughter just heard the message from the eunuch in the palace, and she came here because she was so anxious. I don't know what happened to brother?"
The emperor didn't answer, but had a sad face.Yu Hongzhuang then went to the dragon bed and asked Shen Feng, the envoy of the imperial hospital: "Employee Shen, how is my prince brother's injury?"
Shen Feng bowed and replied: "His Royal Highness, the crown prince was seriously injured and bleeding profusely. He just bandaged the bleeding to stop the bleeding. But he is still very weak and needs to be healed. If he can survive for three days, It doesn't matter. But if... I try my best..."
Yu Hongzhuang knew that this meant that her prince's elder brother was still seriously injured, so she couldn't tell yet.Probe over to see the prince's pale face, closed eyes, couldn't help but shed tears.
Turning around, seeing the mourning and crying mother, he wiped away his tears and went to comfort her, saying that his brother is auspicious, and he will definitely turn the crisis into peace and nothing will happen.
The emperor stood aside and frowned watching the mother and daughter crying, and his heart throbbed in pain.Instead, he saw Xue Xian, the chief eunuch in charge of the imperial court, standing there with his head bowed, and couldn't help but angrily said: "Slave, what did I tell you to do just now? Are you still standing here?"
Xue Xian yelled at the emperor, and hurriedly said tremblingly: "Long live, sir... the princess just let the servant stop..."
Only then did the emperor think of it, he looked at Yu Hongzhuang and asked, "Zhuanger, what do you mean by stopping Xue Xian from going on an errand?"
"Father, does my daughter think that you are being played like a monkey?" Yu Hongzhuang replied.
When the emperor heard it, he was furious and said, "Who is it? Who do you think dares to play tricks on me?"
"Father, please, just now when I came in, I heard Xue Xian say that Xu Cheng, the commander of the imperial guards, had captured two assassins from Biluo Palace. But did you know that these two are the guests my daughter invited in today?" My entourage, Xiao Dongzi, the eunuch in my palace, has been accompanying them to play in the garden of Juxiu Palace. If the two of them are assassins, could it be that they both know j□j skills? But father The emperor's imperial guards didn't listen to Xiao Dongzi's explanation at all, and directly took the two of them away, isn't this just to perfunctory the father and deceive the father?"
"What? Is there such a thing?"
"Every word my daughter says is true, she never dares to lie to her father."
"Damn Xu Cheng! Xue Xian, let someone take this Xu Cheng immediately, let Dongchang admiral Zhou Xin interrogate him first, and make sure that he lied to me!" The emperor ordered Xue Xian in a deep voice.
"Yes, Lord Long Live!" Xue Xian immediately agreed, and after hesitating for a while, he asked again: "Lord Long Live, how about asking Wucheng Bing Ma Si to send troops to surround Jingbitang, the branch hall of Biluo Palace in the capital, to arrest people? Son……"
The emperor pondered, and Yu Hongzhuang immediately said: "Father, this matter is very strange. Today I invited Ye Liuguang, the young master of Biluo Palace, and his wife Jun Ruyue to my palace as guests. But at this time, there are people wearing The assassins dressed in Biluo Palace came to the palace to assassinate the prince's elder brother and steal the ice dragon pendant. Don't you think all this is too coincidental? Let people see them in broad daylight, so that we can catch them? Isn’t this a bit too stupid? And Biluo Palace, as the number one martial arts upright sect in our Great Zhou, can be said to be the mainstay of the righteous way of martial arts. What’s the point of them assassinating the prince’s brother? Use it, what good can it do?"
"What Zhuang Er means is that the person who assassinated the crown prince intends to usurp the throne and covet the throne?"
"That's the only way to explain it. Anyone who might touch the throne is suspected."
Hearing this, the emperor began to ponder, and finally said: "In this way, some people hope to blame Biluo Palace to achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone. If I attack Biluo Palace in a fit of anger, I will lack help in the future to deal with the Demon Sect and the Demon Sect. Evil ways in the rivers and lakes. The demon who entered the palace today first assassinated the prince to create chaos, and then took advantage of the chaos to go to the treasure pavilion to steal the ice dragon pendant, and finally put on the costumes of the disciples of the Biluo Palace deliberately, intending to set the blame. Although this method has flaws , but there is also a chance of winning, they are betting that I will make a rash move against Biluo Palace in a fit of anger."
"But, don't they know that Zhuang'er will definitely come forward to explain for Biluo Palace, so as to remove the suspicion of Biluo Palace? Now that they know that they still have to do this... Is it possible that Biluo Palace is the real one from another perspective? Where is the murderer behind the scenes?"
Yu Hongzhuang couldn't help being very surprised when she heard that her father had deduced such a result. She suddenly thought of what Ye Liuguang had said before she came here, "unnecessary"?Only then did I realize how brilliant the person who came into the palace to make trouble was very clever.This seemingly flawed method will be pushed back when it encounters an extremely suspicious person like Father Huang.Father would think that someone from Biluo Palace did this blatantly, deliberately showing flaws, making most people think that this was definitely a frame-up.But if they really did it, they would escape suspicion because of this.
"Father, don't think too much, my daughter thinks that Bi Luo Palace will never do this?"
"But what if Biluo Palace cooperates with someone who intends to usurp the throne? Then such a method would be wonderful."
"Daughter absolutely trusts Ye Liuguang and the others, father please believe in daughter!"
"Okay, don't talk about Zhuang'er, I have an idea in mind." The emperor raised his hand to interrupt Yu Hongzhuang.
Yu Hongzhuang hurriedly asked: "Father, what are you going to do?"
The emperor walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked: "Since it is possible that people from Biluo Palace did this, then they can't figure out the relationship. If they want to get rid of the relationship, then I ask them to prove it to me." Look. Prove that they didn't do it, and find the real murderer. Didn't you say that Ye Liuguang came into the palace? Then you go back now and let him come to see me, and I will talk to him."
"Father, what do you want to tell him?"
"Don't worry about it, just go and ask him to come. Go!" The emperor waved.
Yu Hongzhuang wanted to say something else, but the emperor turned his back and said, "Xue Xian, you send the princess out for me. Then go to the errands. First arrest Xu Cheng and hand it over to Dongchang, let them interrogate his bully." The crime of the king, the rest will not be dealt with for the time being."
Xue Xian hurriedly bowed in response, then turned to Yu Hongzhuang and said, "Second Princess, please."
Yu Hongzhuang sighed, and said, "Father, Queen, my daughter has retired."
The emperor and empress looked at her and nodded, then Yu Hongzhuang turned around and strode away.
In the Marriage Palace, Ye Liuguang and Jun Renyue waited for almost an hour before the second princess Yu Hongzhuang came back.
"Little princess? How's it going?" When the two saw her coming back, they immediately went up to her and asked.
Yu Hongzhuang told the two of them what she saw, heard and said in the crown prince's womb, and finally said to Ye Liuguang: "My father asked you to go to the crown prince's east palace, and said he wanted to talk to you."
"This matter is related to the reputation of my Biluo Palace, as well as the safety of the spring rolls and bean buns. Even if His Majesty does not see me, I will still ask to see him. If that is the case, then I will go to Ciqing Palace to see him immediately."
"Okay, then I'll go with you again."
"No need, little princess, you don't have to run anymore, just stay with Kisaragi in this palace. Don't worry, His Majesty the Emperor will not make things difficult for me."
"Little Dongzi, come here." Yu Hongzhuang beckoned Xiaodongzi to the front, and told him, "You lead the way, and lead Mr. Liuguang to Ciqing Palace to meet my father."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness." Xiaodongzi replied, and then took Ye Liuguang out of Juxiu Palace, the Prince's East Palace, Ciqing Palace.
It wasn't until sunset that Ye Liuguang returned to Juxiu Palace accompanied by Xiaodongzi.
"Sir, what did the emperor say?"
"Brother Xiaoguang, what did my father say?"
When Jun Ruyue and Yu Hongzhuang saw her coming back, they immediately grabbed her and asked her.Ye Liuguang smiled and said, "His Majesty the Emperor didn't make things difficult for me, so don't worry."
Then he said to Yu Hongzhuang: "Little princess, it's too late now, my wife and I will take our leave first and go back to rest."
Yu Hongzhuang also had something on her mind, so she didn't keep the two of them, and sent them out of Juxiu Palace, and ordered Xiaodongzi to send them out of the palace.When Xiaodongzi sent the two back, he hugged Xiaoxue himself, ordered Xiaodongzi to prepare the carriage, took the eunuchs and palace maids out of the palace under the guard of the guards, and took the carriage to the Emperor Ji Mausoleum on Qifeng Mountain. .
Still in front of his eldest sister’s cemetery, he let the eunuchs and maids and guards guard at the door, carried Xiaoxue into the side hall, worshiped his sister’s spirit card, and then went through the back hall to the octagonal pavilion in the small garden behind. .
She was afraid that she would be late and miss the appointment time with Hua Li, so she hugged Xiaoxue in one arm and ran up quickly with the skirt in the other.When she ran to the pavilion out of breath, she saw that there was no one in the pavilion, and there was no sound in the surroundings, only the flickering floor-to-ceiling palace lanterns were silently shining.
"Oh, it's still too late..." She thought in her heart, and she couldn't help lowering her head in frustration, her shoulders were slumped, and her nose was slightly sour.
But when he lowered his head and looked at Xiaoxue in his hands, he panicked again, stomped his feet, and muttered in his mouth: "This hateful Huali, if you don't come, what will happen to my Xiaoxue? It's really abominable, this Bad guys who don't keep their promises..."
Before she finished speaking, she felt that someone had patted her on the shoulder, and someone behind her laughed narrowly and said, "Who is saying that I don't keep my word?"
