Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

Kong Qingping also sighed when he thought of the Adele whom he had seen last time, who was originally a fairy-like character but was so haggard.

"Since ancient times, the beauty has been unlucky, the princess..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Guo Heng's complexion darken, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty, my younger brother said something wrong. The princess is lucky and fateful, and nothing will happen."

Guo Heng sighed, "I..."

He didn't know what to say, for Adele, he had never been cautious, but she was always unhappy.Thinking about her being in the palace for a few months, she was either injured or sick, and there was really nothing happy about it.

He suddenly remembered something, and told Kong Qingping in a low voice, "Qingping, when we meet the princess in a while, don't talk about the southern border. It will save her from worrying."

"Your brother knows." Talking about the matter in Nanjiang, Kong Qingping was a little puzzled, "Your Majesty, it has only been a few months since the contract between Nanjiang and Daliang was signed, and they clearly knew that the princess was in Daliang Palace, why would they send troops? They If you do this, where will you leave the princess?"

"I can't figure it out! However, I heard that the head of the Southern Border Kingdom favors Concubine Yu, so it's not surprising that she wanted to frame the princess."

Kong Qingping said bitterly: "As the king of a country, he only loves his concubines and framed his own daughter. That southern border country's leader is really a fool!"

Guo Heng stood still, and said in a low voice: "Qing Ping, do you think that I dote on Adele too much? In their eyes, have I also become a fool?"

"Of course not." Kong Qingping said hastily, "Brother Emperor, what I said just now was definitely not about you. You are indeed different to the princess, but the princess has never been arrogant and never interfered in the affairs of the harem and the court. You have never made any excessive demands. You have never disregarded Liang's interests for the sake of the princess. How could you be a foolish king?"

Guo Heng sighed again, she just didn't say anything and kept everything in her heart, that's why she got sick all over.What is the secret in her heart?When will she open her heart to me?Maybe at that time, her illness will be completely cured.

While the two were talking, they walked to the gate of Ninghe Palace.

The gate of Ninghe Palace was wide open. As soon as Guo Heng entered the gate, he saw a shocking scene.

I saw Adela kneeling in the courtyard wearing an underwear, her arms held down by two guards, while Nanny Chi stood beside her, reciting something aloud.

Guo Heng's eyes were hurt by Adele's white underwear, and he didn't see who was standing in the courtyard.

He stepped forward a few steps, kicked the two guards holding Adele down, and pulled Adele up.

Xu Chengze couldn't stand anymore, and fell directly on Guo Heng's body.

Guo Heng hurriedly hugged her in his arms, only to see that her face was pale, her lips were blue and purple, her eyes were lost, and her body was also cold to the touch.

Guo Heng felt that his heart was not beating, and he yelled, "Bring the clothes!"

Shuiyun was startled and shivered, before he had time to speak, Kong Qingping took off the cloak he was wearing, took two quick steps, and put it on Adela.

Guo Heng wrapped Adele tightly in a big cloak, picked her up and walked into the house.

He called again, "Alian, Yina, come in and serve me!"

In his desperation, he completely forgot that Yi Na was under house arrest by Jiang Dapeng and was not here.

"Yes!"

Obtaining the emperor's order, Alian struggled to break free from the shackles of the guards and rushed into Ninghe Palace.

"Your majesty! My concubine..."

The queen yelled and raised her foot to follow into the palace.Guo Heng turned his head and glanced at her, his eyes were like knives, and he stared at the queen in place.

"You all stand! No one is allowed to leave!"

Guo Heng carried the man into the main hall, all the way into the inner palace, put the man on the bed, wrapped him up in a quilt, and then softly shouted: "Princess, wake up!"

Xu Chengze opened his eyes in a trance, and it took him a while to focus on Guo Heng's face. He saw the person in front of him clearly, and thought to himself, it's so good that I can look at him again before I die.

He twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a subtle smile, and closed his eyes.

Guo Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help shouting: "Shuiyun, quickly declare Qi Yunshan."

Qi Yunshan originally lived in the side hall of the Ninghe Palace. Just now when the empress came to arrest him, he had already argued with the empress, saying that the empress was seriously ill and not suitable for activities. Unfortunately, the empress refused to listen.

He could only watch the imperial concubine kneeling in the cold wind wearing single clothes, her face getting paler and paler, but there was nothing she could do.At this time, the emperor almost shouted out his voice, and quickly trotted into the house.

"Your majesty, the subject is here."

Guo Heng's voice trembled, "Hurry up, give the princess a diagnosis and treatment, and make sure nothing happens to her."

"say,,

疋.

Qi Yunshan immediately stepped forward to feel Xu Chengze's pulse.

Guo Heng looked at Adele who was pale on the bed, his eyes darkened, and he stood up.

"Alian, what happened?"

Seeing that Xu Chengze's life and death were unknown, A-Lian had already burst into tears, choked up and said:

"Your Majesty, after you left the court, the Empress Empress came. She said that the princess was a seductress and was a spy in the palace. She colluded with the Southern Border Kingdom and attacked our Daliang. The emperor favors the princess and will not investigate the crime of communicating with foreign countries. , she wants to perform the duties of the queen, and teach the princess the rules in the palace. She also said that the empress is not sick at all, and she is pretending to make the emperor linger. Then she asked the guards to drag the princess off the bed and kneel outside Let the cold wind blow to wake up, and the princess is not even allowed to wear a coat. The servants resisted desperately, and the empress ordered people to arrest the servants as well."

Guo Heng looked her up and down, only to see her face was bruised, there was blood at the corner of her mouth, and her clothes were torn. He knew that she was not lying.Thinking about Adele's appearance again, the situation was even more dire than what she said.

He snorted coldly, "Stay here and take care of the princess."

Then strode out.

Guo Heng walked to the entrance of the main hall, the court ladies, eunuchs and concubines knelt down on the ground, only the queen and concubine Liu Shu stood still.

Guo Heng took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Who can tell me, what are you doing in this battle?"

Everyone could hear the suppressed anger in the emperor's voice, no one dared to make a sound, they all lowered their heads, their hearts beating like thunder.

Guo Heng's gaze coldly swept over the people kneeling on the ground, and finally fell on the queen.

"Queen, tell me!"

Yan Shi couldn't help but flinch a bit when she met Guo Heng's knife-like gaze, but gritted her teeth to calm herself, and said with a straight neck: "Your Majesty, the purpose of purging the rear palace of Daliang is also for the stability of the emperor's throne and the peace of the country. The concubine knows that she will be hated by the emperor, but the concubine is the lord of the first palace, and she cannot just watch the emperor be seduced by the charms of the emperor, let her communicate with foreign countries, put Daliang in danger, and become the sinner of Daliang!"

"Hahaha!" Guo Heng burst into laughter suddenly, and the people kneeling on the ground trembled even more, wishing they could bury their heads in the ground.The court ladies and eunuchs are slaves, they dare not say anything, and those concubines are very slanderous in their hearts.You queens and emperors fought, but caused us to kneel in the cold weather.What is wrong with us?

Even if it was a slander, no one dared to say anything.After all, the queen is not easy to mess with, and the emperor is even more difficult to mess with.

Guo Heng walked down the steps step by step, his cold eyes seemed to burst into flames.

"What the empress said really made me laugh. Everyone can say that Concubine Ning Gui is seductive, but you are the only empress who can't do it! She, Adela, didn't drug me, and she didn't have an elder brother and father to be the uncle and the head of the country. Tell me, how can she be seductive? Is it for me? You say that he has connections with foreign countries, but what evidence do you have, can you punish a good person by framing a good person with empty teeth?"

The queen's face turned red and white, and it took a long time before she could speak.

"Your Majesty, you said that Concubine Ning Guifei didn't charm the monarch, and she didn't know foreign countries well, but her behavior was treacherous and indiscreet. It is a fact. I have evidence in this palace. Someone saw her having a tryst with a man late at night, and in broad daylight with a man in Ning Arguing with the gate of the palace is indecent!"

"Oh? Someone saw the imperial concubine having a tryst with a man?" Guo Heng raised his eyebrows, "When did it happen?"

The queen thought she had caught Concubine Ning's handle, and her face was full of complacency.

"Loyalty, tell me."

"say,,

疋.

Guo Heng heard the sound and saw that Zhongxin was one of the two guards who held Adela down and was kicked down by him just now.

Zhong Zhong was kicked, and his chest still hurts, he felt his ribs were broken.

At this time, being called by the queen, I had to raise my head, endured the pain in my chest and said: "Back to the emperor, when Concubine Ning Gui was in Meifang Garden, I saw a strange man meet with Concubine Ning Gui in the middle of the night, just a few days ago That night, the man entered the bedroom of Ninghe Palace again, and stayed for about half an hour before leaving. Another time, Concubine Ning was chatting with her foreign officials at the gate of Ninghe Palace. ..."

Before he finished speaking, Kong Qingping rubbed his nose and said, "Needless to say, that person is me."

He took a step forward and knelt down to salute, "Brother Emperor, it was my younger brother who was at the gate of Ninghe Palace with the imperial concubine that day.

On that day, the emperor brother was also there, so I asked the emperor brother to make decisions for the ministers. "

"Qing Ping is right, I was there that day, loyal, didn't you see me?"

Guo Heng's voice was a bit colder than ice, Zhongxin was too frightened to raise his head, and stammered: "Humble job, humble job just took a look at it from a distance and left, I didn't notice the emperor."

Guo Heng recalled that day, he had asked Shuiyun to check all around Ninghe Palace, and found no outsiders.Thinking about it, it was like what Zhongxin said, he just saw Adela and Kong Qingping from a distance, and left immediately.

He bent down to help Kong Qingping up, his voice was gentle, "You are weak, go inside to warm up."

"Brother Xie."

Although Kong Qingping said so, he stepped back and did not enter the house.

Guo Heng walked up to Zhongxin and looked at him indifferently.

"Loyalty, I remember that you are an old man in the palace. You said you saw the imperial concubine having a tryst with a strange man at night. Is that man from the palace, or did he come in from outside?"

"I don't know about his humble position. But judging by his attire, he should not be from the palace."

"Oh? If it's not from the palace, then it came in from the outside."

Guo Heng raised his voice: "Bring Jiang Dapeng!"

"Yes!"
