Seeing all the people sent out shaking their heads at him, Mu Ruhai's heart sank, knowing that he was doomed to return without success this time.
Seeing these people rummaging around in the room, the emperor's already dazed head became even more dizzy. Several times he opened his mouth to stop, but was appeased by Concubine Feng Gui.
In the end, Mu Ruhai found nothing, and he knelt down in front of the emperor unwillingly.
Concubine Feng covered her mouth with a handkerchief and stood beside the bed, while the emperor looked at Mu Ruhai coldly and asked, "Have you found out the result?"
"Damn this servant." Mu Ruhai kowtowed heavily, at this moment his head had scabbed and his face was mottled with blood.
The emperor stood up with a sneer, pointed at everyone in the room and said, "All of you doubt my Lian'er, and everyone wants to take her away from me! But I tell you! Lian'er is mine! In this world , everyone will harm me, and Lian'er will not!"
Mu Ruhai's heart was as cold as water, he knew that the emperor was really hopeless this time.
"Come here! Pull this dog slave down to me and cut him off..." At this point, the emperor paused, but he didn't give up on this man who had served him for more than thirty years. His fist loosened and clenched again: "Hit me hard Thirty boards, fined into Xin Zheku!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. This servant wishes that your Majesty will be safe for a hundred years." Mu Ruhai had already made preparations, but faced with the established fact, Mu Ruhai was still unwilling: "It's just that this servant has to advise His Majesty again, House thieves are hard to guard against!"
The emperor was very angry by Mu Ruhai, his face flushed and he coughed continuously.
Concubine Feng looked at Mu Ruhai's eyes, and while patting the emperor on the back, she scolded the eunuch beside him: "If you haven't come, hurry up and pull this lifeless thing down!"
There was no one to help, Mu Ruhai kowtowed heavily to the emperor three more times, then turned around and walked out.
At this moment, the emperor's head was buzzing, and his eyes were a little distracted. He covered his head in pain: "Lian'er, I have a headache, and I want to sleep for a while, please burn some incense for me."
"Yes." Concubine Feng Gui lit a tranquilizing incense, a sneer appeared on her face.
Want to fight her? It's just life and death!
The tranquilizing incense was lit, and the curling green smoke gradually filled the whole room.
Seeing Mu Ruhai being brought out like this, Princess Jinyang was startled, and stepped forward to ask what was going on.
Mu Ruhai gave a wry smile, his face ashen ashes: "Princess, let's go out of the palace, Your Majesty... Your Majesty has already made up her mind!"
Outside the palace, hearing the news that Princess Jinyang brought back, Su Yan sighed for a while.
For Concubine Feng, the emperor actually disposed of the loyal Mu Ruhai. It seems that everything is really as she thought, and no one around the emperor can interfere now.
Princess Jinyang anxiously walked around the room: "Yan'er, what should you do in this situation?"
Su Yan was embroidering the fan in his hand: "Haven't you understood? Now unless someone dares to risk the world's disgrace, disregarding his own wealth and life, breaks into the palace and forcibly treats the emperor, otherwise... there is no other way." way."
Princess Jinyang sighed deeply. Obviously the murderer was right in front of her eyes, but she couldn't do anything to her. This feeling of powerlessness really made people feel uncomfortable and maddened.
When the news spread to Fengzao Palace, the queen was taking medicine, and when she heard about what happened to Concubine Feng Gui, the queen put down her teacup and smiled lightly: "You are confused before you are old, look, this is the retribution for doing too many bad things. "
There was silence in the room, and no one dared to speak.
The queen glanced at the people in her room, then took out the hand mirror from her sleeve pocket, and looked at the hand mirror, she suddenly found that she had added a new line of eye lines.
She frowned displeased.
The empress walked to the dressing table, picked up the special rouge powder and splashed it on her face. She originally wanted to cover up the eye lines, but the more powder she put on, the more obvious the eye lines became when she smiled.
Looking at herself in the mirror, the queen lowered her hands weakly and let out a long sigh. For more than twenty years, there was nothing left for her except countless pain and despair.
Turning over the almanac at hand, looking at the numbers on it, the queen muttered to herself, "It's been more than twenty years."
Outside the palace, Princess Jinyang's mansion.
It was late at night when Chu Yan returned to the house. Su Yan was already asleep at this time of day, but when he entered the yard, he saw that the lights in the house were still burning. When he opened the door and entered the house, Chu Yan saw Su Yan in Flipping through an ancient book by candlelight, with a focused expression.
Hearing the movement at the door, Su Yan put down the book and went out.
Chu Yan took off his outer clothes, embraced the girl who was walking toward him, lowered his head and kissed Su Yan's forehead, and asked softly, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
"I waited for you to come back." Su Yan hugged Chu Yan tightly, with a little complaint in her tone: "These days you leave early and return late, and I don't have time to have a good conversation with you."
Chu Yan also knew that he didn't care about Su Yan these days, he smiled softly, hugged Su Yan and strode into the inner room, gently took off Su Yan's shoes and socks, and put her in the bed: "Your current task is to have a good rest. When I finish this period of work, I will ask the emperor to take a vacation. Then I will talk to you at home every day, okay?"
To Su Yan's ears, what Chu Yan said was like coaxing a child.
Su Yan asked Chu Yan to sit by the bed, and then said: "In the past few days, the news from the palace has spread one after another, and I always have a feeling that the mountains and rains are about to come. Uneasy Sheng, you can tell me the truth, I have a score in my heart, so I won't worry about things outside."
Chu Yan shook his head helplessly. Originally, he didn't want her to worry about him when she was pregnant, but his little girl is always so smart.
Chu Yan said: "It is true, but I don't know when it will happen, but it should be soon. Do you remember that I told you before that the second prince is hiding somewhere in the capital?"
Su Yan nodded, and said her thoughts to Chu Yan: "Now he has designed all the people who can compete with him, I think the next news from the palace should be that the emperor will appoint him Stored news."
"No, based on the emperor's current thinking, he will definitely not appoint anyone as the crown prince." Chu Yan corrected.
"Then his wishful thinking is about to come to nothing." Under the candlelight, Su Yan's delicate face frowned slightly, looking quite serious: "So... will he jump over the wall in a hurry?"
Chu Yan smiled and nodded, and gave Su Yan an appreciative look: "According to the clues we have so far, it is very likely that he has this idea."
As they said that, Chu Yan and Su Yan shared their findings: "I sent Qin Tong to assassinate him before, and then Qin Tong sent me a letter saying that the one from the Imperial Tomb is a fake, and I am sending people to look for him later At the same time as the hiding place, I got a message that the three generals of the Shu region left the Shu region in batches with their troops, and according to the route, the target would be the capital. At this time, the Shu region is like an empty shell."
