Mrs. Mo said he would not agree
Chapter 76
Let's say it all.
Mo Jingchun thought expressionlessly.
There was a sudden mission in such a hurry, it was impossible for him to rush over immediately.This kind of sudden and temporary mission is usually extremely urgent, but the ghost's tone is not as anxious as when it endangered His Majesty's life.
At least it belongs to the kind that succeeds best and fails.
As time passed, Mo Jingchun was gradually able to distinguish which tasks of the ghosts were the most important and which ones could be slightly less important.But even if it is second, it will be specially listed by the spirits, it must still be important.
If you fail, you still have to accept punishment.
Mo Jingchun now knows the rules of these punishments.
Even though his relationship with His Majesty has become... more ambiguous, if Mo Jingchun were to face such a wanton and playful mood again, he still couldn't bear it.
Especially his relationship with His Majesty is actually not that urgent.
Ordinary is always one or two times of warmth, and then it ends again.
Only when His Majesty is in a bad mood, will it be extremely difficult to bear.
When he was thinking about things, Mo Jingchun had already appeared in the barracks, Wei Yi and Mohen followed behind him, and Mo Jingchun told Mohen, "I have something to go out, and I'm not sure when I will come back. Madam and father said that it was Yuan Heming who had something to ask for." Without any guilt, Mo Jingchun pushed this name on Yuan Heming.
Mohen bowed his body.
Mo Jingchun got into the carriage, and Wei Yi turned into a coachman.
Wei Yi's face was a little worried, but Mohen was even more weird.
He sent Mo Jingchun away silently, and thought with a sigh in his heart, it seems that Mr. Lang still can't stand "Madam" spending New Year's Eve alone in the palace, so Tete rushed to accompany "Madam" at this time.Having said that, when I think of my wife's appearance, she is three big and five rough... Bah, it is the tall and fierce Emperor Zhengshi, and the ink marks still silently wither away.
He closed the door, shivering from the sudden cold wind.
Mohen murmured, "It's really cold this year."
cold.
It's really cold.
But even in such a world of ice and snow, the flavor of New Year's Eve still persists.
The entire capital city was immersed in a warm atmosphere. Scarlet silk was spread from the north to the south, and even the burnt Tongtian Tower had been rebuilt.The extremely high colorful building is next door to Tongtian Building, and amidst bursts of cheers, someone jumped on it.
...as always.
Today is New Year's Eve, there is a banquet in the palace, and all clan relatives in the capital will enter the palace.
Of course, only princes and county kings can enter the palace.
Still in Jiaotai Hall.
After being renovated by the Ministry of Industry, the Jiaotai Hall is different from the previous decoration.
That's the golden words of His Majesty, saying that there is no need to print it out of the previous mold, and simply replace it with a new one to wash away the bad luck.The Ministry of Industry was looking through the previous blueprints, and after receiving His Majesty's words, they simply made another one.
Cao Xu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is a capable man.
It was only in the past two years that they were replaced. There are people in their forties who occasionally go to inspect buildings, speak well and do it themselves.
Although the palace he built is not as magnificent as before, it is more elegant and solemn.
——Because Emperor Zhengshi said that there is not much appropriation, and there is no need to make it glamorous.
Your Majesty is not a person who likes extravagance, so Cao Xu felt more at ease.
Now in the hall, the two heads are not there.
The empress dowager left halfway because the maid in the palace told the first prince to wake up, so she left in a hurry.At that time, Emperor Zhengshi was being toasted by several uncles, and when he learned that the First Prince was sober and the Queen Mother had left, His Majesty also left.
The eldest prince had a high fever for several days and finally regained consciousness. It was only natural that the two people in the palace valued him.
And the most senior king of Qin sat on top and poured himself a drink, which didn't affect him at all, and the people below didn't even care.
Some county kings even said with a smile, "Today is New Year's Eve, and the eldest prince woke up to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, leaving the bad luck of the year behind yesterday, which is a good thing."
King Meng Huai smiled.
Sitting on his right is King Mingchun.
In the November of Mingchun King, he was just reprimanded by Emperor Zhengshi.
He married a wife without the permission of the royal family.
If Emperor Zhengshi refused to admit it, then King Mingchun would not be able to bring his concubine here, because according to the law, they are adulterous.But after the emperor scolded King Mingchun viciously, he fined him a year's food salary, so he let the matter go and agreed.
Confirmation of stamping, coming and going to He Yi, is still confirmed by Zongzheng Temple.
The concubine of King Mingchun is the daughter of an ordinary carpenter.
She is currently sitting at the table of the women's family, and the person beside her is the elegant and generous Princess Meng Huai.Princess Meng Huai was worthy of being born in the Dongguo family before she was born. Sitting there, she formed a landscape of her own, as if she was a beauty walking out of the mountains and rivers.But Princess Mingchun is much more ordinary, she is a round-faced little girl, although she is wearing a princess court dress, it doesn't match well, and her actions are a bit cramped.But her back was straight, and Princess Meng Huai who was beside her often talked to her and took good care of her.
King Mingchun glanced over from time to time, as if he was a little worried.
King Menghuai was a little younger than King Mingchun, and when he saw this, he smiled and said, "Brother Seventeen, you have raised your eyes a dozen times, but the little princess who didn't see you was so ashamed to bow her head?"
King Mingchun took a subconscious look, only to realize that his wife had indeed avoided looking away.He rubbed his nose embarrassingly, and smiled wryly, "She is young and has never been to the capital, so I'm afraid I'll scare her."
"Compared to your age, you are indeed young." King Meng Huai joked, he did not expect that Brother Seventeen, who had been dazed all this time, would one day become enlightened... But the direction of enlightenment was a bit crooked.
The chosen wife is also a carpenter, but she really has the same interests as him.I can't complain that I will cut it first and then play it, otherwise the palace may not agree to such a background and status.
Ming Chun Wang was stunned for 30 to [-] years, but he was a bit brave in this matter.
King Menghuai, "But Chunhe is watching, nothing will happen."
Dongguo Chunhe is the concubine of King Menghuai.
King Mingchun smiled gratefully.
When the two of them were talking, King Xuhuai and King Ningyang were talking next door.
King Xu Huai was already several dozen years old this year, and he was sitting on the right side with his stomach full, "Why hasn't Your Majesty come back? Could it be that something happened to the eldest prince?" He was still drinking while talking.
With flushed cheeks, he was waving his hands while talking, which made everyone around him subconsciously stay away.
He smelled too strong and a little stank of alcohol.
King Ningyang, "It may be that the First Prince is in good health, and the two of you are happy!"
He moved to the left and rolled his eyes vaguely.
Can't even speak, is waiting to die early?
It looked like Emperor Zhengshi was not there in the palace, but Liu Hao was still standing there with a smile on his face.
King Xuhuai didn't care about King Ningyang's dislike, he was still talking with a smile, "You don't know, I heard that the First Prince almost got into an accident in the Jiao family, he's still too timid, otherwise..."
King Menghuai panicked when he heard this, and said angrily, "Seventh brother, don't talk about it. Didn't you fall from a tree when you were four years old? The imperial doctor said you were too fat, so you didn't get hurt anywhere, but Didn't you still have a fever for seven or eight days, and when you came back, it was a blessing in disguise, and you lost a lot of weight."
Basically, only the eldest son can be crowned king of the county.
If there is an accident, such as the two sons born by Concubine Kang, they have the Queen Mother's favor, and finally extra favors.
Otherwise, it is the usual practice, and the other concubines will either be demoted to a lower level, or no one will ask for the title, and they will not even have a title.
The ranking of the first son is separate from that of the concubine, as long as the county king is above, the ranking of the first son is the same, and it all belongs to the order of Gongye's genealogy.That's why King Meng Huai called King Xu Huai Seventh Brother and King Ming Chun Seventeenth Brother.
However, while the royal family depends on the ranking, it is also calculated separately.
It is said that it was the first rule set by Taizu to make the family harmonious.As for why there are only county kings and above, it is probably because at that time the enfeoffment was only here.
However, after so many years, I am afraid that it will be of no use at all.
This bloody temperament is buried in Gongyeqi's blood, and the number of rebellions is probably the most in all dynasties.
King Meng Huai spoke in a daze, King Xu Huai was blocked by him and could only eat and drink alone.
Emperor Zhengshi and the Empress Dowager had not returned for a long time, and there was a bit of commotion in the Jiaotai Hall.
King Qin was surrounded by a few people, all of whom were elderly, their voices were low and the others couldn't hear clearly.As for the others, they may stand or sit, those who are close to each other will gather together, and those who are more lonely will eat and drink by themselves.
There are singing and dancing in the middle, and the gorgeous and colorful colors make the whole hall look lively and lively, but there are too many hypocrisy, and it seems too illusory.
Someone was standing on the porch, as if taking the opportunity to breathe, but it was taking the opportunity to relieve the depression in his heart.
But they didn't dare to wander around anymore.
There was a incident of the county king's promiscuity in the palace before. Although Emperor Zhengshi didn't care, the queen mother was furious.She severely punished that prince, and degraded his prince, so that he could no longer attack him.
Since they are the clan's relatives, what kind of beauties do they want, but they mess around in the palace!
The Empress Dowager didn't have the idea that her family's ugliness should not be publicized. After she made a fuss about her, no one would dare to act recklessly like this.
Even if there are such absurd people, they all behave honestly with their tails between their legs.
There are a few drunken princes standing outside. They are not strong enough to drink, but their eyesight is not bad.
Across the pitch blackness, one can actually see that the imperial chariot of Emperor Zhengshi is in the distance.
The palace is already a sea of red, and red lanterns are hung in all directions, as if it is full of the flavor of the new year.The swaying lanterns looked too weird in the wind and snow, like a few scarlet swaying in the darkness, with a bloody meaning.
It's just that before they entered, they saw the solemn Yujia being stopped by someone.
It was said that it was stopped, but something was wrong, it was more like someone suddenly broke in from the palace road next to him, stumbled and fell in front of Yujia.
This sudden change made Yu Jia stop, and it also made those princes who were planning to enter Jiaotai Palace stop in their tracks.
Even the prince is good at gossip.
Such an unexpected and interesting thing, it's not a big problem to stay and take a look.
...that's what they thought.
Immediately after this unexpected change happened, outside the Jiaotai Hall, someone went into the hall and told Liu Hao.
When Liu Hao came out, the princes were still smiling at him.
Even if Liu Hao was the attendant of Emperor Zhengshi, it was impossible to stop this group of royal children, he just signaled the guards to stop him for now, and then walked straight towards the stopped imperial driver.
A few people followed behind him, very silent and quiet, as if they were naturally a piece of wood.
A few court ladies hurried over from outside the palace road, knelt down in front of the imperial driver in panic, and kowtowed continuously.Liu Hao looked at the clothes on them, his face was a bit ugly, and he walked over quickly.
Seeing that Emperor Zhengshi lifted the curtain of the car and stood out from the driver's car.
Emperor Zhengshi asked, "Where are you maids from?"
The leading maid said tremblingly, "The servants are all maids of Huanxi Pavilion."
Huanxi Pavilion is the cold palace in the palace.
With the most festive name, it is a cold place where no one will set foot.The bodies of these court ladies still had traces of burning, as if they had just walked through some burning place.
Someone behind Liu Hao approached and whispered a few times, his face changed slightly, he bowed in front of Emperor Zhengshi, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Huanxi Pavilion was on fire just now, but the fire is not serious and has been extinguished by the guards. "
"Happy Pavilion?"
Emperor Zhengshi calmly looked at the woman who fell down the first time on the ground. The clothes on her body were not worn out, and the stitches were dense. Although it didn't look new, it was barely warm.
Since she fell to the ground, she has always looked like this, with her head down and not speaking.
Emperor Zhengshi looked at her slightly trembling back and said slowly, "Mr. Jiao."
His voice was cold and indifferent, as if he had no emotion at all.
The woman who bowed her head trembled suddenly, then slowly raised her head, and then looked at Emperor Zhengshi.
Emperor Zhengshi stood on the imperial chariot, wearing a luxurious and solemn mianfu, and a crown on his head. When the bead string came out just now, it shook slightly a few times, and there was a familiar crisp sound.But his voice was very cold, as if it was more painful than the snow in this winter.
Jiao Shi bent down, "Your Majesty."
Her voice sounded a little hoarse.
The moment Liu Hao was beside him, he had already figured out the ins and outs, and was talking to Emperor Zhengshi in a low voice, "The abandoned concubine Jiao has been living in the cold palace. Ten or so days ago, Tao Hong, the maid who served Jiao, accidentally told Jiao that there was something wrong with Jiao Ming. The news of the death. A few days ago, the eldest prince returned to the palace with a high fever. When Luliu told Taohong the news, it was known to the Jiao family again.
"Tonight, while the servants were dozing off, Mrs. Jiao pushed down the lit candles in the house and lit the Huanxi Pavilion. Although the fire was not too big, it caused commotion. Mrs. Jiao took advantage of this time to escape .
"On the way, Jiao used the smell and appearance of his body to coax the guards along the way to Huanxi Pavilion, so he arrived at Jiaotai Hall unimpeded."
When Liu Hao spoke, he didn't intertwine his emotions, but explained the cause and effect very calmly.
However, although Jiao Shi bumped into Emperor Zhengshi, Liu Hao felt that she was not looking for His Majesty.
But to find the Queen Mother.
From the trail behind Jiaotai Hall, you can pass from the East Sixth Palace to the West Sixth Palace. Not only can you avoid the disturbances of the previous dynasty, but you can also avoid the guards' chasing and blocking, and buy yourself time.
As long as she can run to the Queen Mother's palace, this is a victory.
It is impossible for the queen mother to sit back and watch the eldest prince's mother being insulted, no matter how disgusted she is, she will still let her in.And relying on Jiao's intelligence and ruthlessness... Maybe he can't get what he wants.
This plan was full of mistakes and omissions, but because of the fire lit by the Huanxi Pavilion, there was a glimmer of possibility after all.
The palace is very vigilant about fire and water, which started from the fire in Jiaotai Palace last year.
Now it is the Jiaotai Palace again, so it will naturally cause them to pay too much attention.
But tonight, on New Year's Eve, the palace held a banquet in Jiaotai Hall.
Although the whole imperial city knew about this news, the Jiao family in Lenggong might not know about it.
After all, the habit of hosting banquets in Jiaotai Palace was only started by Emperor Zhengshi in the past two years.
The reason why Jiao Shi went to find the queen mother is also very simple.
Either they want to ask the Queen Mother to let her go out of the palace to pay homage to their father, or they want to see the sick eldest prince.
It's not that Emperor Zhengshi didn't give her a chance.
After the Jiao family was abolished, based on her crimes, she should have been thrown into the cold palace.
But for the sake of the eldest son of the Jiao family who came to Beijing in person, Emperor Zhengshi originally planned to let her go out of the palace and enter the temple to chant sutras to forgive her sins; or if she was willing to abandon the past and remove everything, the emperor could not let her go. Return, whatever she wants to marry in the future, everything has nothing to do with the palace.
But not only the queen mother refused, but Jiao himself also refused.
Since Mrs. Jiao didn't want to leave the palace, Emperor Zhengshi casually pointed to a cold palace, and lived according to the share of sinful concubines and abandoned concubines.
Now that Jiao Shi appeared in front of Emperor Zhengshi again, he even had to spend some time to remember who this woman was.
Of course, Gongyeqi couldn't remember anything that wasn't important.
Emperor Zhengshi said in a cold tone, "You broke out of the Huanxi Pavilion, what do you want?"
Jiao said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I just want to ask the Queen Mother to extrajudicially favor me."
Her appearance is soft and beautiful, even though she has been hidden in the cold palace for several years, she still looks like a beautiful woman.When she knelt on the ground delicately, her body was weak and boneless, she was still attractive.
The movement outside somewhat attracted the attention of the Jiaotai Hall.
King Qin was pushed out. He sat on the porch, watched the movement in the distance, smiled suddenly, and said softly, "Push me over." The person standing behind him was his nephew.
He hesitated for a moment, then he really pushed King Qin over.
It's fine if it's someone else, but King Qin's seniority is different, let him take the lead, and there are many princes who are watching the fun, and they actually walked through.
Just in front of the lonely hall, I heard Jiao's voice.
Although King Qin was old, he had a good memory, and he immediately remembered who this was.
The smile in his heart was stronger, but there was a look of surprise on his face, "...Yes, the abandoned princess?" His hesitant voice sounded, and immediately more people remembered who it was.
When the crown prince was bowing down to the courtiers and relatives, of course the crown prince wanted to accompany him.
So many people recognize Jiao.
And Jiao's...
She was apprehensive at first.
Her thoughts were similar to Liu Hao's guess, the person she originally wanted to find was the Queen Mother.
When the Empress Dowager left her in the palace, she asked her if she was willing to do so, and of course Mrs. Jiao was not.What she wants is not to be reduced to the cold palace, and no one will remember her ending.
However, the emperor seemed determined to eat the weight, and refused to spare her life or death.
After all, she is the eldest prince's mother!
Jiao Shi was unwilling to go out like this, she not only refused to go out, but also endured it.Her background is different, especially Jiao Ming did have some friendship with the late Emperor, with such a relationship, even if the Queen Mother doesn't like her, she won't let others bully Jiao.
Although her life in the palace was not as good as when she was in the East Palace, it was not bad after all, except that she was poorer.
Originally, Jiao's plan was to endure until the First Prince was older, but now he is still too young, and the Empress Dowager watched too closely, so Jiao's had no chance at all.
But by chance, she heard the news of her father Jiao Ming's death.
Jiao Ming has always been very kind to her. When she married the crown prince, apart from the success of Jiao Ming and the late emperor, it was also because of Jiao's wholehearted pursuit of her.
But Jiao Yao never got along with her.
Jiao Yao is the eldest son, and Jiao Ming's favorite successor son.
If Jiao Ming passed away, she might not be able to get the Jiao family to agree if she thought about anything in the future.
Without the support of the Jiao family, the Jiao family may not be able to endure in the palace. She must have the opportunity to communicate with the outside world.She used to have her own people in Huanxi Pavilion, but after Liu Hao cleaned up several times, her people were taken out during several cleanups and never came back.
Jiao's heart is naturally distressed, but now that she has come to this point, it is naturally impossible to turn back.
Jiao Shi also recognized King Qin and others who came from the other side of Jiaotai Hall. Maybe there was a royal banquet in Jiaotai Hall today, and she broke into here by accident.
Otherwise, on weekdays, Jiaotai Hall would always be extremely quiet.
Maybe it's because of Jiao's luck, or maybe it's because of his father's blessing from heaven, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?
Mrs. Jiao pursed her lips, and said in the silence, "Your Majesty, I know that I have committed a serious crime, but the news of my father's death really broke my heart. Besides, my eldest prince...he fell from my body." A piece of meat, isn't he still awake now... I really want to know his recent situation, so I panicked for a while, and left the Huanxi Pavilion in the chaos, hoping that His Majesty will take pity on me..."
Standing beside Emperor Zhengshi, Liu Hao squinted his eyes slightly at King Qin who was sitting at the front, then looked expressionlessly at Jiao Shi who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to..."
He dragged people down directly?
Emperor Zhengshi shook his head slowly, just not letting Liu Hao do this.
Emperor Zhengshi got out of the carriage and walked slowly in front of Jiao Shi. The black gold boot appeared in front of her eyes, like a familiar but unfamiliar silhouette reappearing in front of her.
Jiao's breathing was slightly suffocated, and a fear that had been buried deep in his bones and forgotten for a long time surged up again.
"You miss your father very much?"
Emperor Zhengshi's voice was very cold, with a hint of a smile on his face.
...
Mo Jingchun sat on the carriage, the bumpy carriage made him frown slightly.
But he didn't speak.
He was the one who told Wei Yi not to worry about it and hurried on his way.
The tail bumped against the carriage several times, Mo Jingchun moved forward silently, and then put one hand on the side to prevent himself from bumping into it again.Although it is something that will disappear in the middle of the night, this broken tail is very sensitive. The few collisions just now almost made Mo Jingchun shed tears.
It hurts too much.
Under the clothes, the white tail of the coccyx curled up pitifully in one place, as if extremely wronged.
Mo Jingchun is wronged!
He closed his eyes, thinking about recent events.
New Year's Eve...a banquet in the palace...the prince's family...the eldest prince has a high fever...
After thinking about it for a while, Mo Jingchun really couldn't think of anything that could provoke Emperor Zhengshi to be furious, especially recently, Mo Jingchun always felt that His Majesty was able to control his temper more and more.
That kind of control is more like...
Before reaching the critical point, no one could see that the emperor was actually furious.
As long as it hasn't exploded, it is "normal".
It's just that such "normality" made Emperor Zhengshi extremely painful.
Mo Jingchun frowned, thinking about the medicine the emperor had just stopped, even he started to have a headache.
He sighed softly.
It would be great if the spirits could cure Emperor Zhengshi's madness, so that His Majesty would no longer have to suffer like that.
Unfortunately, the system does not have this capability
Mo Jingchun pinched the base of her nose helplessly.
If the system could treat Gong Yeqi's condition, it would not take such a tortuous way.But assuming that the system can treat Gongyeqi's condition, wouldn't the host worry about your relationship with Gongyeqi being deviated?
The words and sentences used by the ghosts are still a bit strange, it took Mo Jingchun a while to understand.
"...Could it be that you can heal, but pretend you can't?"
Please host has a certain degree of trust in the system, this is groundless suspicion
Mo Jingchun thought about it suspiciously, and then said helplessly in the bumpy carriage, "If you can cure His Majesty's madness, of course I will choose to let you treat it immediately. Does it need to think too much?"
He paused, remembering the second half of the spirit's question.
"What's wrong? Your Majesty suddenly realized that he didn't really like men. He chose me just out of fun and out of necessity. He wanted to get back on the right track?
"It's nothing."
nothing?
The strange voice sounded a bit strange.
Mo Jingchun "...you seem to be more emotional than before."
In the past, spirits would not be so lively, at least they would not ask back. At the beginning, spirits were even unreasonable and tough, as if they were uncommon and extremely stiff... newborn calves?
The system is constantly learning
Mo Jingchun snorted softly, and bent his fingers holding the car window, showing a little paleness.
"That's the correct way. If His Majesty walks back, it's normal."
But what about you?
Mo Jingchun, "I can go back wherever I should go. If I can't be tolerated, I can also leave the capital. The world is so big, where can't I go?"
The ghost fell silent.
It's like this inexplicable conversation has come to an end.
The galloping carriage stopped in front of the gate of the imperial palace, and the soldiers guarding the palace gate hurriedly stepped forward when they saw the sign of the Mo family and then Wei Yi.
Mo Jingchun lifted the curtain of the car and said calmly, "It's me."
When it was Mo Jingchun who came, the soldiers didn't even know how to check, so they backed away.
Mo Jingchun looked at the passing palace road outside the window, and watched the carriage stop at the usual place. He was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Wei Yi, continue." He was holding the rein and wanted to rein in the horse Wei Yi let go of his hand abruptly, allowing the horse to trot forward.
Countless soldiers guarded the quiet and solemn palace road. When they saw the curtain rolled up on the passing carriage, revealing Mo Jingchun's appearance, they just quietly watched the carriage go away, and were gradually swallowed by the dim palace road.
Mo Jingchun unknowingly possessed enormous power in the palace.
Even if he rashly let Wei Yi drive a carriage into the imperial city, no one would stop him.
The carriage was running fast on the palace road, and there was a rattling sound from time to time, and when it was about to turn the corner and drive into the Nanhua Gate, Mo Jingchun said abruptly, "Stop."
Wei Yi's hands were tense, and he stopped the carriage directly.
Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, got out of the carriage, stood on the carriage frame and watched the smoke rising in the distance.It wasn't strong, but it looked like it was the black mist after the water left. Where did it burn?
He looked in that direction, it should be some remote place in the East Sixth Palace, that's why he couldn't see clearly from such a distance.
But the smoke fire should not be serious.
Mo Jingchun remembered this, got out of the carriage, "Go back and wait for me at the gate of the palace."
Wei Yi suddenly said, "Are you coming back?"
Mo Jingchun subconsciously turned around and smiled at him, "Aren't I going home?"
Holding the reins, Wei Yi watched as Mo Jingchun got off the carriage lightly.
He walked towards the brightest place step by step.
When Mo Jingchun walked through the Nanhua Gate, he saw the Queen Mother's car stopped in a hurry and was being supported by Xiulin to get off.
Mo Jingchun looked at His Majesty standing in front of the imperial driver, with an expressionless, cold and solemn appearance, like a frozen statue.And the woman kneeling in front of him... Mo Jingchun actually couldn't recognize who it was, but from the way the queen mother was being supported, this woman might be a bit important... In the harem, there are young women other than the queen mother ...
Mo Jingchun could only think of the abandoned concubine Jiao.
And on the side, there are many people kneeling.
In fact, except for the Queen Mother...and the standing King Qin, everyone else, no matter what their identities, were all kneeling on the ground.The guards in the distance all watched this place quietly, as if there were countless strange weapons staring at this dangerous picture.
He heard the queen mother yelling, "Jiao Shi, did you eat bear's heart, leopard's gall or dragon's liver and phoenix's gall, and set fire to the palace? Who gave you the ability to be so presumptuous!" Her voice was angry and Urgent, even more disappointed.
The Jiao family is the mother of the First Prince, even if she is unwilling, she cannot sever the connection.
If Jiao Shi commits stupidity again and again, it will be even more detrimental to the First Prince.
Only... If it is purely because of the Jiao family, then why is the standing King Qin?
King Qin...
Everyone knows that King Qin's feet were not conducive to walking since he was just born.
He has been sitting in a wheelchair all these years, so that everyone thought that he couldn't walk and stand at all, but he didn't expect that he stood up tonight.
Even holding on to the armrest of the wheelchair, standing tremblingly.
Since the standing King Qin is not far from His Majesty... Those who knelt beside him should be the objects of this palace banquet.
Royal clan.
Not too many people, but not too few.
The empress dowager's words of reprimand were only aimed at the Jiao family, but did not mention King Qin at all.
That was the previous dynasty, and it was the emperor's business.
Jiao said timidly, "It's my concubine's fault, please ask the queen mother to punish me. It's just... just before that, I still hope that the queen mother will show mercy, and one glance is enough to allow the concubine to visit the eldest prince. I also ask your majesty, the queen mother, to be merciful." Let my concubine take a look!" She kept kowtowing as she said, she was really pitiful.
As for the object of her prayer, the Empress Dowager looked at her with extremely angry eyes, and His Majesty...
His Majesty is looking at King Qin.
There are too many people involved in the current chaos, the King of Qin, the Queen Mother, and countless clan relatives who were engulfed in the emperor's fury, they are all insiders.
And if Mo Jingchun, an outsider, wants to intervene...
Intervene in what name?
Just because he appears in the palace now, it will immediately cause an uproar!
Countless suspicions and troubles will be shrouded in Mo Jingchun and the Mo family.If Mo Jingchun was the only one, he might be unscrupulous, but he couldn't ignore the Mo family.
Mo Jingchun stood at the junction of light and darkness, and did not go out immediately.
The warm light hit Mo Jingchun's shoe toe, his position was just right, even Emperor Zhengshi, who was most sensitive to him, couldn't find him.
"Dark Thirteen?"
Hiding in the dark, someone answered.
Mo Jingchun closed his eyes, exhaled again, and looked at the chaos in front of him again.
Fifteen hours ago, Jiao's prayer was falling on the ears of countless clan members.
Some just took it for fun, while others were crazily regretting why they came out, and even wished to slap themselves on the back of the head, knocking themselves out alive, so that they would no longer have to face such insidiousness.
Emperor Zhengshi didn't seem to see the princes and relatives who came out, but stared at Jiao for a long time.
He smiled.
"Jiao Shi, since you miss Jiao Ming so much, why don't you go and accompany him?"
This sounds very reasonable.
Jiao's heart was overjoyed, and before kowtow, another sign of madness climbed up her back, making her cringe, not daring to agree.
This "accompaniment" is to go to the grave to "accompany" or go down to "accompany"?
Jiao was anxious and was about to speak when she heard King Qin's old voice say slowly, "Your Majesty, although Jiao is a disused concubine, she is also the mother of the eldest prince. Mother and child are united. Sin is not unto death.”
The eyes of Emperor Zhengshi who had been watching Jiao Shi suddenly looked at King Qin strangely. How should he describe the strangeness of that moment——
King Qin felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious monster.
The gaze was distorted and suppressed, and there seemed to be countless waves hidden under the calm eyes.
So much so that at the moment he looked over, King Qin only felt terrified, and his whole body trembled unconsciously.
...It wasn't even fear, it was more like a subconscious shudder.
In the face of fear of unknown things, people's subconscious will always take precedence over people and perceive something wrong.
Just like King Qin, he stared into Emperor Zhengshi's eyes, feeling inexplicably terrified.
The emperor said unhurriedly, "The widow did not expect that the King of Qin would have such compassion?"
Emperor Zhengshi's voice was full of sarcasm, and he looked at the wheelchair meaningfully.
"Why don't you take pity on yourself first?"
King Qin's hand grabbed the handrail suddenly, his reaction was not fast, but it was a bit extreme.
His face was calm, "Your Majesty, you'd better calm down."
Emperor Zhengshi laughed, his brows and eyes were slightly curved, and he looked handsome, "The king of Qin is wrong, but I have always been calm." He looked at Jiao Shi who was kneeling in front of him again.
"For example, who can listen to what people say, and who is not worth listening to, I know very well." His voice became cold, "Liu Hao."
Liu Hao took a step forward and leaned forward.
"Call Garley over here."
Liu Changning was sent out to work by Emperor Zhengshi a few days ago, so he was not in the palace.Gai Lie was his deputy, and he had already appeared in the old guard, but because the situation here was unknown, he didn't dare to come forward.
Seeing His Majesty's call, Gailie walked over in silence.
Emperor Zhengshi said indifferently, "Gai Lie, according to the palace rules, what crime is it to burn the palace?"
Gai Lie, "If you are a palace man, you need to get thirty sticks, or twenty whips. If you are a palace concubine, the salary is from one year to three years, depending on the situation."
Emperor Zhengshi laughed strangely, raised his eyebrows and said, "Jiao Shi, are you still a concubine?"
Gai Lie's face changed slightly, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, thirty sticks, or twenty whips... If you are a palace servant, you have to bare your back and do it in front of the palace servants on duty."
He didn't risk his life to speak to Jiao Shi, but... After all, Jiao Shi used to be Emperor Zhengshi's concubine, even though her status in the palace is embarrassing now, but no matter what, if it is really carried out, His Majesty will feel unhappy after thinking about it If something happens again, isn't that troublesome?
Jiao's expression was pale, and she suddenly looked up at Emperor Zhengshi, with a sad and melodious voice, "Your Majesty—"
The King of Qin frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, although the Jiao family is a sinner, she is from the Jiao family after all, and she is so insulting and vicious, how can she act like this?"
Emperor Zhengshi looked at King Qin slowly. The smile on his face never restrained. Not only did he not restrain, but his smile became more and more weird and full of malice. Jiao Shi, even though he was born in a wealthy family, is still ugly, with only ambitious desires barely noticeable all over his body, his heart is ruthless, but his methods are brutal, leaving so many traces even with his hands.
"Such a stupid thing, even if it was born in the Jiao family, what is it?" His eyes were cold
Mo Jingchun thought expressionlessly.
There was a sudden mission in such a hurry, it was impossible for him to rush over immediately.This kind of sudden and temporary mission is usually extremely urgent, but the ghost's tone is not as anxious as when it endangered His Majesty's life.
At least it belongs to the kind that succeeds best and fails.
As time passed, Mo Jingchun was gradually able to distinguish which tasks of the ghosts were the most important and which ones could be slightly less important.But even if it is second, it will be specially listed by the spirits, it must still be important.
If you fail, you still have to accept punishment.
Mo Jingchun now knows the rules of these punishments.
Even though his relationship with His Majesty has become... more ambiguous, if Mo Jingchun were to face such a wanton and playful mood again, he still couldn't bear it.
Especially his relationship with His Majesty is actually not that urgent.
Ordinary is always one or two times of warmth, and then it ends again.
Only when His Majesty is in a bad mood, will it be extremely difficult to bear.
When he was thinking about things, Mo Jingchun had already appeared in the barracks, Wei Yi and Mohen followed behind him, and Mo Jingchun told Mohen, "I have something to go out, and I'm not sure when I will come back. Madam and father said that it was Yuan Heming who had something to ask for." Without any guilt, Mo Jingchun pushed this name on Yuan Heming.
Mohen bowed his body.
Mo Jingchun got into the carriage, and Wei Yi turned into a coachman.
Wei Yi's face was a little worried, but Mohen was even more weird.
He sent Mo Jingchun away silently, and thought with a sigh in his heart, it seems that Mr. Lang still can't stand "Madam" spending New Year's Eve alone in the palace, so Tete rushed to accompany "Madam" at this time.Having said that, when I think of my wife's appearance, she is three big and five rough... Bah, it is the tall and fierce Emperor Zhengshi, and the ink marks still silently wither away.
He closed the door, shivering from the sudden cold wind.
Mohen murmured, "It's really cold this year."
cold.
It's really cold.
But even in such a world of ice and snow, the flavor of New Year's Eve still persists.
The entire capital city was immersed in a warm atmosphere. Scarlet silk was spread from the north to the south, and even the burnt Tongtian Tower had been rebuilt.The extremely high colorful building is next door to Tongtian Building, and amidst bursts of cheers, someone jumped on it.
...as always.
Today is New Year's Eve, there is a banquet in the palace, and all clan relatives in the capital will enter the palace.
Of course, only princes and county kings can enter the palace.
Still in Jiaotai Hall.
After being renovated by the Ministry of Industry, the Jiaotai Hall is different from the previous decoration.
That's the golden words of His Majesty, saying that there is no need to print it out of the previous mold, and simply replace it with a new one to wash away the bad luck.The Ministry of Industry was looking through the previous blueprints, and after receiving His Majesty's words, they simply made another one.
Cao Xu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is a capable man.
It was only in the past two years that they were replaced. There are people in their forties who occasionally go to inspect buildings, speak well and do it themselves.
Although the palace he built is not as magnificent as before, it is more elegant and solemn.
——Because Emperor Zhengshi said that there is not much appropriation, and there is no need to make it glamorous.
Your Majesty is not a person who likes extravagance, so Cao Xu felt more at ease.
Now in the hall, the two heads are not there.
The empress dowager left halfway because the maid in the palace told the first prince to wake up, so she left in a hurry.At that time, Emperor Zhengshi was being toasted by several uncles, and when he learned that the First Prince was sober and the Queen Mother had left, His Majesty also left.
The eldest prince had a high fever for several days and finally regained consciousness. It was only natural that the two people in the palace valued him.
And the most senior king of Qin sat on top and poured himself a drink, which didn't affect him at all, and the people below didn't even care.
Some county kings even said with a smile, "Today is New Year's Eve, and the eldest prince woke up to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, leaving the bad luck of the year behind yesterday, which is a good thing."
King Meng Huai smiled.
Sitting on his right is King Mingchun.
In the November of Mingchun King, he was just reprimanded by Emperor Zhengshi.
He married a wife without the permission of the royal family.
If Emperor Zhengshi refused to admit it, then King Mingchun would not be able to bring his concubine here, because according to the law, they are adulterous.But after the emperor scolded King Mingchun viciously, he fined him a year's food salary, so he let the matter go and agreed.
Confirmation of stamping, coming and going to He Yi, is still confirmed by Zongzheng Temple.
The concubine of King Mingchun is the daughter of an ordinary carpenter.
She is currently sitting at the table of the women's family, and the person beside her is the elegant and generous Princess Meng Huai.Princess Meng Huai was worthy of being born in the Dongguo family before she was born. Sitting there, she formed a landscape of her own, as if she was a beauty walking out of the mountains and rivers.But Princess Mingchun is much more ordinary, she is a round-faced little girl, although she is wearing a princess court dress, it doesn't match well, and her actions are a bit cramped.But her back was straight, and Princess Meng Huai who was beside her often talked to her and took good care of her.
King Mingchun glanced over from time to time, as if he was a little worried.
King Menghuai was a little younger than King Mingchun, and when he saw this, he smiled and said, "Brother Seventeen, you have raised your eyes a dozen times, but the little princess who didn't see you was so ashamed to bow her head?"
King Mingchun took a subconscious look, only to realize that his wife had indeed avoided looking away.He rubbed his nose embarrassingly, and smiled wryly, "She is young and has never been to the capital, so I'm afraid I'll scare her."
"Compared to your age, you are indeed young." King Meng Huai joked, he did not expect that Brother Seventeen, who had been dazed all this time, would one day become enlightened... But the direction of enlightenment was a bit crooked.
The chosen wife is also a carpenter, but she really has the same interests as him.I can't complain that I will cut it first and then play it, otherwise the palace may not agree to such a background and status.
Ming Chun Wang was stunned for 30 to [-] years, but he was a bit brave in this matter.
King Menghuai, "But Chunhe is watching, nothing will happen."
Dongguo Chunhe is the concubine of King Menghuai.
King Mingchun smiled gratefully.
When the two of them were talking, King Xuhuai and King Ningyang were talking next door.
King Xu Huai was already several dozen years old this year, and he was sitting on the right side with his stomach full, "Why hasn't Your Majesty come back? Could it be that something happened to the eldest prince?" He was still drinking while talking.
With flushed cheeks, he was waving his hands while talking, which made everyone around him subconsciously stay away.
He smelled too strong and a little stank of alcohol.
King Ningyang, "It may be that the First Prince is in good health, and the two of you are happy!"
He moved to the left and rolled his eyes vaguely.
Can't even speak, is waiting to die early?
It looked like Emperor Zhengshi was not there in the palace, but Liu Hao was still standing there with a smile on his face.
King Xuhuai didn't care about King Ningyang's dislike, he was still talking with a smile, "You don't know, I heard that the First Prince almost got into an accident in the Jiao family, he's still too timid, otherwise..."
King Menghuai panicked when he heard this, and said angrily, "Seventh brother, don't talk about it. Didn't you fall from a tree when you were four years old? The imperial doctor said you were too fat, so you didn't get hurt anywhere, but Didn't you still have a fever for seven or eight days, and when you came back, it was a blessing in disguise, and you lost a lot of weight."
Basically, only the eldest son can be crowned king of the county.
If there is an accident, such as the two sons born by Concubine Kang, they have the Queen Mother's favor, and finally extra favors.
Otherwise, it is the usual practice, and the other concubines will either be demoted to a lower level, or no one will ask for the title, and they will not even have a title.
The ranking of the first son is separate from that of the concubine, as long as the county king is above, the ranking of the first son is the same, and it all belongs to the order of Gongye's genealogy.That's why King Meng Huai called King Xu Huai Seventh Brother and King Ming Chun Seventeenth Brother.
However, while the royal family depends on the ranking, it is also calculated separately.
It is said that it was the first rule set by Taizu to make the family harmonious.As for why there are only county kings and above, it is probably because at that time the enfeoffment was only here.
However, after so many years, I am afraid that it will be of no use at all.
This bloody temperament is buried in Gongyeqi's blood, and the number of rebellions is probably the most in all dynasties.
King Meng Huai spoke in a daze, King Xu Huai was blocked by him and could only eat and drink alone.
Emperor Zhengshi and the Empress Dowager had not returned for a long time, and there was a bit of commotion in the Jiaotai Hall.
King Qin was surrounded by a few people, all of whom were elderly, their voices were low and the others couldn't hear clearly.As for the others, they may stand or sit, those who are close to each other will gather together, and those who are more lonely will eat and drink by themselves.
There are singing and dancing in the middle, and the gorgeous and colorful colors make the whole hall look lively and lively, but there are too many hypocrisy, and it seems too illusory.
Someone was standing on the porch, as if taking the opportunity to breathe, but it was taking the opportunity to relieve the depression in his heart.
But they didn't dare to wander around anymore.
There was a incident of the county king's promiscuity in the palace before. Although Emperor Zhengshi didn't care, the queen mother was furious.She severely punished that prince, and degraded his prince, so that he could no longer attack him.
Since they are the clan's relatives, what kind of beauties do they want, but they mess around in the palace!
The Empress Dowager didn't have the idea that her family's ugliness should not be publicized. After she made a fuss about her, no one would dare to act recklessly like this.
Even if there are such absurd people, they all behave honestly with their tails between their legs.
There are a few drunken princes standing outside. They are not strong enough to drink, but their eyesight is not bad.
Across the pitch blackness, one can actually see that the imperial chariot of Emperor Zhengshi is in the distance.
The palace is already a sea of red, and red lanterns are hung in all directions, as if it is full of the flavor of the new year.The swaying lanterns looked too weird in the wind and snow, like a few scarlet swaying in the darkness, with a bloody meaning.
It's just that before they entered, they saw the solemn Yujia being stopped by someone.
It was said that it was stopped, but something was wrong, it was more like someone suddenly broke in from the palace road next to him, stumbled and fell in front of Yujia.
This sudden change made Yu Jia stop, and it also made those princes who were planning to enter Jiaotai Palace stop in their tracks.
Even the prince is good at gossip.
Such an unexpected and interesting thing, it's not a big problem to stay and take a look.
...that's what they thought.
Immediately after this unexpected change happened, outside the Jiaotai Hall, someone went into the hall and told Liu Hao.
When Liu Hao came out, the princes were still smiling at him.
Even if Liu Hao was the attendant of Emperor Zhengshi, it was impossible to stop this group of royal children, he just signaled the guards to stop him for now, and then walked straight towards the stopped imperial driver.
A few people followed behind him, very silent and quiet, as if they were naturally a piece of wood.
A few court ladies hurried over from outside the palace road, knelt down in front of the imperial driver in panic, and kowtowed continuously.Liu Hao looked at the clothes on them, his face was a bit ugly, and he walked over quickly.
Seeing that Emperor Zhengshi lifted the curtain of the car and stood out from the driver's car.
Emperor Zhengshi asked, "Where are you maids from?"
The leading maid said tremblingly, "The servants are all maids of Huanxi Pavilion."
Huanxi Pavilion is the cold palace in the palace.
With the most festive name, it is a cold place where no one will set foot.The bodies of these court ladies still had traces of burning, as if they had just walked through some burning place.
Someone behind Liu Hao approached and whispered a few times, his face changed slightly, he bowed in front of Emperor Zhengshi, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Huanxi Pavilion was on fire just now, but the fire is not serious and has been extinguished by the guards. "
"Happy Pavilion?"
Emperor Zhengshi calmly looked at the woman who fell down the first time on the ground. The clothes on her body were not worn out, and the stitches were dense. Although it didn't look new, it was barely warm.
Since she fell to the ground, she has always looked like this, with her head down and not speaking.
Emperor Zhengshi looked at her slightly trembling back and said slowly, "Mr. Jiao."
His voice was cold and indifferent, as if he had no emotion at all.
The woman who bowed her head trembled suddenly, then slowly raised her head, and then looked at Emperor Zhengshi.
Emperor Zhengshi stood on the imperial chariot, wearing a luxurious and solemn mianfu, and a crown on his head. When the bead string came out just now, it shook slightly a few times, and there was a familiar crisp sound.But his voice was very cold, as if it was more painful than the snow in this winter.
Jiao Shi bent down, "Your Majesty."
Her voice sounded a little hoarse.
The moment Liu Hao was beside him, he had already figured out the ins and outs, and was talking to Emperor Zhengshi in a low voice, "The abandoned concubine Jiao has been living in the cold palace. Ten or so days ago, Tao Hong, the maid who served Jiao, accidentally told Jiao that there was something wrong with Jiao Ming. The news of the death. A few days ago, the eldest prince returned to the palace with a high fever. When Luliu told Taohong the news, it was known to the Jiao family again.
"Tonight, while the servants were dozing off, Mrs. Jiao pushed down the lit candles in the house and lit the Huanxi Pavilion. Although the fire was not too big, it caused commotion. Mrs. Jiao took advantage of this time to escape .
"On the way, Jiao used the smell and appearance of his body to coax the guards along the way to Huanxi Pavilion, so he arrived at Jiaotai Hall unimpeded."
When Liu Hao spoke, he didn't intertwine his emotions, but explained the cause and effect very calmly.
However, although Jiao Shi bumped into Emperor Zhengshi, Liu Hao felt that she was not looking for His Majesty.
But to find the Queen Mother.
From the trail behind Jiaotai Hall, you can pass from the East Sixth Palace to the West Sixth Palace. Not only can you avoid the disturbances of the previous dynasty, but you can also avoid the guards' chasing and blocking, and buy yourself time.
As long as she can run to the Queen Mother's palace, this is a victory.
It is impossible for the queen mother to sit back and watch the eldest prince's mother being insulted, no matter how disgusted she is, she will still let her in.And relying on Jiao's intelligence and ruthlessness... Maybe he can't get what he wants.
This plan was full of mistakes and omissions, but because of the fire lit by the Huanxi Pavilion, there was a glimmer of possibility after all.
The palace is very vigilant about fire and water, which started from the fire in Jiaotai Palace last year.
Now it is the Jiaotai Palace again, so it will naturally cause them to pay too much attention.
But tonight, on New Year's Eve, the palace held a banquet in Jiaotai Hall.
Although the whole imperial city knew about this news, the Jiao family in Lenggong might not know about it.
After all, the habit of hosting banquets in Jiaotai Palace was only started by Emperor Zhengshi in the past two years.
The reason why Jiao Shi went to find the queen mother is also very simple.
Either they want to ask the Queen Mother to let her go out of the palace to pay homage to their father, or they want to see the sick eldest prince.
It's not that Emperor Zhengshi didn't give her a chance.
After the Jiao family was abolished, based on her crimes, she should have been thrown into the cold palace.
But for the sake of the eldest son of the Jiao family who came to Beijing in person, Emperor Zhengshi originally planned to let her go out of the palace and enter the temple to chant sutras to forgive her sins; or if she was willing to abandon the past and remove everything, the emperor could not let her go. Return, whatever she wants to marry in the future, everything has nothing to do with the palace.
But not only the queen mother refused, but Jiao himself also refused.
Since Mrs. Jiao didn't want to leave the palace, Emperor Zhengshi casually pointed to a cold palace, and lived according to the share of sinful concubines and abandoned concubines.
Now that Jiao Shi appeared in front of Emperor Zhengshi again, he even had to spend some time to remember who this woman was.
Of course, Gongyeqi couldn't remember anything that wasn't important.
Emperor Zhengshi said in a cold tone, "You broke out of the Huanxi Pavilion, what do you want?"
Jiao said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I just want to ask the Queen Mother to extrajudicially favor me."
Her appearance is soft and beautiful, even though she has been hidden in the cold palace for several years, she still looks like a beautiful woman.When she knelt on the ground delicately, her body was weak and boneless, she was still attractive.
The movement outside somewhat attracted the attention of the Jiaotai Hall.
King Qin was pushed out. He sat on the porch, watched the movement in the distance, smiled suddenly, and said softly, "Push me over." The person standing behind him was his nephew.
He hesitated for a moment, then he really pushed King Qin over.
It's fine if it's someone else, but King Qin's seniority is different, let him take the lead, and there are many princes who are watching the fun, and they actually walked through.
Just in front of the lonely hall, I heard Jiao's voice.
Although King Qin was old, he had a good memory, and he immediately remembered who this was.
The smile in his heart was stronger, but there was a look of surprise on his face, "...Yes, the abandoned princess?" His hesitant voice sounded, and immediately more people remembered who it was.
When the crown prince was bowing down to the courtiers and relatives, of course the crown prince wanted to accompany him.
So many people recognize Jiao.
And Jiao's...
She was apprehensive at first.
Her thoughts were similar to Liu Hao's guess, the person she originally wanted to find was the Queen Mother.
When the Empress Dowager left her in the palace, she asked her if she was willing to do so, and of course Mrs. Jiao was not.What she wants is not to be reduced to the cold palace, and no one will remember her ending.
However, the emperor seemed determined to eat the weight, and refused to spare her life or death.
After all, she is the eldest prince's mother!
Jiao Shi was unwilling to go out like this, she not only refused to go out, but also endured it.Her background is different, especially Jiao Ming did have some friendship with the late Emperor, with such a relationship, even if the Queen Mother doesn't like her, she won't let others bully Jiao.
Although her life in the palace was not as good as when she was in the East Palace, it was not bad after all, except that she was poorer.
Originally, Jiao's plan was to endure until the First Prince was older, but now he is still too young, and the Empress Dowager watched too closely, so Jiao's had no chance at all.
But by chance, she heard the news of her father Jiao Ming's death.
Jiao Ming has always been very kind to her. When she married the crown prince, apart from the success of Jiao Ming and the late emperor, it was also because of Jiao's wholehearted pursuit of her.
But Jiao Yao never got along with her.
Jiao Yao is the eldest son, and Jiao Ming's favorite successor son.
If Jiao Ming passed away, she might not be able to get the Jiao family to agree if she thought about anything in the future.
Without the support of the Jiao family, the Jiao family may not be able to endure in the palace. She must have the opportunity to communicate with the outside world.She used to have her own people in Huanxi Pavilion, but after Liu Hao cleaned up several times, her people were taken out during several cleanups and never came back.
Jiao's heart is naturally distressed, but now that she has come to this point, it is naturally impossible to turn back.
Jiao Shi also recognized King Qin and others who came from the other side of Jiaotai Hall. Maybe there was a royal banquet in Jiaotai Hall today, and she broke into here by accident.
Otherwise, on weekdays, Jiaotai Hall would always be extremely quiet.
Maybe it's because of Jiao's luck, or maybe it's because of his father's blessing from heaven, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?
Mrs. Jiao pursed her lips, and said in the silence, "Your Majesty, I know that I have committed a serious crime, but the news of my father's death really broke my heart. Besides, my eldest prince...he fell from my body." A piece of meat, isn't he still awake now... I really want to know his recent situation, so I panicked for a while, and left the Huanxi Pavilion in the chaos, hoping that His Majesty will take pity on me..."
Standing beside Emperor Zhengshi, Liu Hao squinted his eyes slightly at King Qin who was sitting at the front, then looked expressionlessly at Jiao Shi who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to..."
He dragged people down directly?
Emperor Zhengshi shook his head slowly, just not letting Liu Hao do this.
Emperor Zhengshi got out of the carriage and walked slowly in front of Jiao Shi. The black gold boot appeared in front of her eyes, like a familiar but unfamiliar silhouette reappearing in front of her.
Jiao's breathing was slightly suffocated, and a fear that had been buried deep in his bones and forgotten for a long time surged up again.
"You miss your father very much?"
Emperor Zhengshi's voice was very cold, with a hint of a smile on his face.
...
Mo Jingchun sat on the carriage, the bumpy carriage made him frown slightly.
But he didn't speak.
He was the one who told Wei Yi not to worry about it and hurried on his way.
The tail bumped against the carriage several times, Mo Jingchun moved forward silently, and then put one hand on the side to prevent himself from bumping into it again.Although it is something that will disappear in the middle of the night, this broken tail is very sensitive. The few collisions just now almost made Mo Jingchun shed tears.
It hurts too much.
Under the clothes, the white tail of the coccyx curled up pitifully in one place, as if extremely wronged.
Mo Jingchun is wronged!
He closed his eyes, thinking about recent events.
New Year's Eve...a banquet in the palace...the prince's family...the eldest prince has a high fever...
After thinking about it for a while, Mo Jingchun really couldn't think of anything that could provoke Emperor Zhengshi to be furious, especially recently, Mo Jingchun always felt that His Majesty was able to control his temper more and more.
That kind of control is more like...
Before reaching the critical point, no one could see that the emperor was actually furious.
As long as it hasn't exploded, it is "normal".
It's just that such "normality" made Emperor Zhengshi extremely painful.
Mo Jingchun frowned, thinking about the medicine the emperor had just stopped, even he started to have a headache.
He sighed softly.
It would be great if the spirits could cure Emperor Zhengshi's madness, so that His Majesty would no longer have to suffer like that.
Unfortunately, the system does not have this capability
Mo Jingchun pinched the base of her nose helplessly.
If the system could treat Gong Yeqi's condition, it would not take such a tortuous way.But assuming that the system can treat Gongyeqi's condition, wouldn't the host worry about your relationship with Gongyeqi being deviated?
The words and sentences used by the ghosts are still a bit strange, it took Mo Jingchun a while to understand.
"...Could it be that you can heal, but pretend you can't?"
Please host has a certain degree of trust in the system, this is groundless suspicion
Mo Jingchun thought about it suspiciously, and then said helplessly in the bumpy carriage, "If you can cure His Majesty's madness, of course I will choose to let you treat it immediately. Does it need to think too much?"
He paused, remembering the second half of the spirit's question.
"What's wrong? Your Majesty suddenly realized that he didn't really like men. He chose me just out of fun and out of necessity. He wanted to get back on the right track?
"It's nothing."
nothing?
The strange voice sounded a bit strange.
Mo Jingchun "...you seem to be more emotional than before."
In the past, spirits would not be so lively, at least they would not ask back. At the beginning, spirits were even unreasonable and tough, as if they were uncommon and extremely stiff... newborn calves?
The system is constantly learning
Mo Jingchun snorted softly, and bent his fingers holding the car window, showing a little paleness.
"That's the correct way. If His Majesty walks back, it's normal."
But what about you?
Mo Jingchun, "I can go back wherever I should go. If I can't be tolerated, I can also leave the capital. The world is so big, where can't I go?"
The ghost fell silent.
It's like this inexplicable conversation has come to an end.
The galloping carriage stopped in front of the gate of the imperial palace, and the soldiers guarding the palace gate hurriedly stepped forward when they saw the sign of the Mo family and then Wei Yi.
Mo Jingchun lifted the curtain of the car and said calmly, "It's me."
When it was Mo Jingchun who came, the soldiers didn't even know how to check, so they backed away.
Mo Jingchun looked at the passing palace road outside the window, and watched the carriage stop at the usual place. He was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Wei Yi, continue." He was holding the rein and wanted to rein in the horse Wei Yi let go of his hand abruptly, allowing the horse to trot forward.
Countless soldiers guarded the quiet and solemn palace road. When they saw the curtain rolled up on the passing carriage, revealing Mo Jingchun's appearance, they just quietly watched the carriage go away, and were gradually swallowed by the dim palace road.
Mo Jingchun unknowingly possessed enormous power in the palace.
Even if he rashly let Wei Yi drive a carriage into the imperial city, no one would stop him.
The carriage was running fast on the palace road, and there was a rattling sound from time to time, and when it was about to turn the corner and drive into the Nanhua Gate, Mo Jingchun said abruptly, "Stop."
Wei Yi's hands were tense, and he stopped the carriage directly.
Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, got out of the carriage, stood on the carriage frame and watched the smoke rising in the distance.It wasn't strong, but it looked like it was the black mist after the water left. Where did it burn?
He looked in that direction, it should be some remote place in the East Sixth Palace, that's why he couldn't see clearly from such a distance.
But the smoke fire should not be serious.
Mo Jingchun remembered this, got out of the carriage, "Go back and wait for me at the gate of the palace."
Wei Yi suddenly said, "Are you coming back?"
Mo Jingchun subconsciously turned around and smiled at him, "Aren't I going home?"
Holding the reins, Wei Yi watched as Mo Jingchun got off the carriage lightly.
He walked towards the brightest place step by step.
When Mo Jingchun walked through the Nanhua Gate, he saw the Queen Mother's car stopped in a hurry and was being supported by Xiulin to get off.
Mo Jingchun looked at His Majesty standing in front of the imperial driver, with an expressionless, cold and solemn appearance, like a frozen statue.And the woman kneeling in front of him... Mo Jingchun actually couldn't recognize who it was, but from the way the queen mother was being supported, this woman might be a bit important... In the harem, there are young women other than the queen mother ...
Mo Jingchun could only think of the abandoned concubine Jiao.
And on the side, there are many people kneeling.
In fact, except for the Queen Mother...and the standing King Qin, everyone else, no matter what their identities, were all kneeling on the ground.The guards in the distance all watched this place quietly, as if there were countless strange weapons staring at this dangerous picture.
He heard the queen mother yelling, "Jiao Shi, did you eat bear's heart, leopard's gall or dragon's liver and phoenix's gall, and set fire to the palace? Who gave you the ability to be so presumptuous!" Her voice was angry and Urgent, even more disappointed.
The Jiao family is the mother of the First Prince, even if she is unwilling, she cannot sever the connection.
If Jiao Shi commits stupidity again and again, it will be even more detrimental to the First Prince.
Only... If it is purely because of the Jiao family, then why is the standing King Qin?
King Qin...
Everyone knows that King Qin's feet were not conducive to walking since he was just born.
He has been sitting in a wheelchair all these years, so that everyone thought that he couldn't walk and stand at all, but he didn't expect that he stood up tonight.
Even holding on to the armrest of the wheelchair, standing tremblingly.
Since the standing King Qin is not far from His Majesty... Those who knelt beside him should be the objects of this palace banquet.
Royal clan.
Not too many people, but not too few.
The empress dowager's words of reprimand were only aimed at the Jiao family, but did not mention King Qin at all.
That was the previous dynasty, and it was the emperor's business.
Jiao said timidly, "It's my concubine's fault, please ask the queen mother to punish me. It's just... just before that, I still hope that the queen mother will show mercy, and one glance is enough to allow the concubine to visit the eldest prince. I also ask your majesty, the queen mother, to be merciful." Let my concubine take a look!" She kept kowtowing as she said, she was really pitiful.
As for the object of her prayer, the Empress Dowager looked at her with extremely angry eyes, and His Majesty...
His Majesty is looking at King Qin.
There are too many people involved in the current chaos, the King of Qin, the Queen Mother, and countless clan relatives who were engulfed in the emperor's fury, they are all insiders.
And if Mo Jingchun, an outsider, wants to intervene...
Intervene in what name?
Just because he appears in the palace now, it will immediately cause an uproar!
Countless suspicions and troubles will be shrouded in Mo Jingchun and the Mo family.If Mo Jingchun was the only one, he might be unscrupulous, but he couldn't ignore the Mo family.
Mo Jingchun stood at the junction of light and darkness, and did not go out immediately.
The warm light hit Mo Jingchun's shoe toe, his position was just right, even Emperor Zhengshi, who was most sensitive to him, couldn't find him.
"Dark Thirteen?"
Hiding in the dark, someone answered.
Mo Jingchun closed his eyes, exhaled again, and looked at the chaos in front of him again.
Fifteen hours ago, Jiao's prayer was falling on the ears of countless clan members.
Some just took it for fun, while others were crazily regretting why they came out, and even wished to slap themselves on the back of the head, knocking themselves out alive, so that they would no longer have to face such insidiousness.
Emperor Zhengshi didn't seem to see the princes and relatives who came out, but stared at Jiao for a long time.
He smiled.
"Jiao Shi, since you miss Jiao Ming so much, why don't you go and accompany him?"
This sounds very reasonable.
Jiao's heart was overjoyed, and before kowtow, another sign of madness climbed up her back, making her cringe, not daring to agree.
This "accompaniment" is to go to the grave to "accompany" or go down to "accompany"?
Jiao was anxious and was about to speak when she heard King Qin's old voice say slowly, "Your Majesty, although Jiao is a disused concubine, she is also the mother of the eldest prince. Mother and child are united. Sin is not unto death.”
The eyes of Emperor Zhengshi who had been watching Jiao Shi suddenly looked at King Qin strangely. How should he describe the strangeness of that moment——
King Qin felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious monster.
The gaze was distorted and suppressed, and there seemed to be countless waves hidden under the calm eyes.
So much so that at the moment he looked over, King Qin only felt terrified, and his whole body trembled unconsciously.
...It wasn't even fear, it was more like a subconscious shudder.
In the face of fear of unknown things, people's subconscious will always take precedence over people and perceive something wrong.
Just like King Qin, he stared into Emperor Zhengshi's eyes, feeling inexplicably terrified.
The emperor said unhurriedly, "The widow did not expect that the King of Qin would have such compassion?"
Emperor Zhengshi's voice was full of sarcasm, and he looked at the wheelchair meaningfully.
"Why don't you take pity on yourself first?"
King Qin's hand grabbed the handrail suddenly, his reaction was not fast, but it was a bit extreme.
His face was calm, "Your Majesty, you'd better calm down."
Emperor Zhengshi laughed, his brows and eyes were slightly curved, and he looked handsome, "The king of Qin is wrong, but I have always been calm." He looked at Jiao Shi who was kneeling in front of him again.
"For example, who can listen to what people say, and who is not worth listening to, I know very well." His voice became cold, "Liu Hao."
Liu Hao took a step forward and leaned forward.
"Call Garley over here."
Liu Changning was sent out to work by Emperor Zhengshi a few days ago, so he was not in the palace.Gai Lie was his deputy, and he had already appeared in the old guard, but because the situation here was unknown, he didn't dare to come forward.
Seeing His Majesty's call, Gailie walked over in silence.
Emperor Zhengshi said indifferently, "Gai Lie, according to the palace rules, what crime is it to burn the palace?"
Gai Lie, "If you are a palace man, you need to get thirty sticks, or twenty whips. If you are a palace concubine, the salary is from one year to three years, depending on the situation."
Emperor Zhengshi laughed strangely, raised his eyebrows and said, "Jiao Shi, are you still a concubine?"
Gai Lie's face changed slightly, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, thirty sticks, or twenty whips... If you are a palace servant, you have to bare your back and do it in front of the palace servants on duty."
He didn't risk his life to speak to Jiao Shi, but... After all, Jiao Shi used to be Emperor Zhengshi's concubine, even though her status in the palace is embarrassing now, but no matter what, if it is really carried out, His Majesty will feel unhappy after thinking about it If something happens again, isn't that troublesome?
Jiao's expression was pale, and she suddenly looked up at Emperor Zhengshi, with a sad and melodious voice, "Your Majesty—"
The King of Qin frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, although the Jiao family is a sinner, she is from the Jiao family after all, and she is so insulting and vicious, how can she act like this?"
Emperor Zhengshi looked at King Qin slowly. The smile on his face never restrained. Not only did he not restrain, but his smile became more and more weird and full of malice. Jiao Shi, even though he was born in a wealthy family, is still ugly, with only ambitious desires barely noticeable all over his body, his heart is ruthless, but his methods are brutal, leaving so many traces even with his hands.
"Such a stupid thing, even if it was born in the Jiao family, what is it?" His eyes were cold
