The eunuchs outside stopped moving, some of them didn't know what to do, and looked at the head eunuch in embarrassment.
The eldest eunuch lifted the whisk and glanced at Chu Jinyao with sharp eyes, rather arrogantly: "Prince Concubine, what does this mean?"
"What is the meaning of this Crown Princess, why should I explain it to you as a servant." After Chu Jinyao finished speaking, she turned her head, too lazy to look at these people outside, but smiled apologetically to Runing, "You are shocked, It's getting late, the palace gate will be locked in a while, I'll take you out."
"No need." Princess Ru Ning held Chu Jinyao's hand, and she glanced back calmly, facing these domineering servants, even Princess Ru Ning felt terrified. At this juncture, how could Ru Ning let Chu Jinyao send her away.
Ru Ning kept his composure, and after saying goodbye to Chu Jinyao, he walked out pretending nothing happened. Fortunately, these eunuchs still knew the importance and dared not do anything to a princess, Ru Ning. When Ru Ning approached, these eunuchs silently gave way and let Princess Ru Ning go out.
After getting out of the siege, Princess Runing and her maids all breathed a long sigh of relief. The maid was so scared that her back was wet. She quickly supported Princess Runing, who had lost her strength, and said in fear, "Princess, why is this happening? What can I do?"
Ru Ning was so frightened that she quickly said, "This is not a place to stay for a long time, so hurry up and leave the palace."
The prince went to Xishan to train troops a few days ago. During this period of time, he had been fine. The capital was calm and calm. Why did there suddenly be rumors of rebellion
Princess Runing didn't dare to think about it. After she finally walked out of the palace gate, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked behind her. The sky in the west was terrifyingly red. In Twilight's cover, she opened her eyes, and her poisonous hook-like gaze roamed around, trying to devour something.
Ru Ning had a hunch that the Forbidden City would change in just two days.
Outside the Ciqing Palace, after Princess Runing left, the confrontation between Chu Jinyao and the eunuch of Dongchang became more and more dangerous.
Chu Jinyao sent people out, and then turned around and walked in like no one else. Being so neglected, the big eunuch who has always been domineering and domineering couldn't help it. He snorted coldly and screamed: "Prince Concubine has such a grand style, When the miscellaneous family came today, they obeyed the emperor's will, is the Crown Princess going to resist the edict?"
"Since you said that you have the emperor's will, then bring the imperial decree here. If not, you should look up and take a good look at where this is. The East Palace is not a place where you can be arrogant. You can search and leave if you want. "
Chu Jinyao's attitude was firm, but instead, these eunuchs were restrained. They act without restraint, but this is the favored princess in front of her. She refuses to let people in, and they don't dare to force it in. In case the master bumps into each other, and the prince turns over in the future, none of them will want to live. The head eunuch was worried, and the order to search the palace was delayed. During this time, Chu Jinyao was already supported by Linglong and turned around, and her figure gradually disappeared into the palace gate. As soon as Chu Jinyao and several people came in, the eunuch in Ciqing Palace immediately pushed the door and quickly closed the door and dropped the bolt.
After being cut off from the outside world, Chu Jinyao's expression quickly became worried, and Linglong and the others were so frightened that their hands and feet became cold. With such a big movement outside, people in Ciqing Palace are now panicking. Whether it is the dowry maid brought by Chu Jinyao, or the court lady who was serving in the East Palace, all of them are now surrounding Chu Jinyao. Frightened, six gods and no masters: "What can I do? Crown Princess..."
All of them looked at Chu Jinyao with a sense of asking for help. Chu Jinyao frowned for a while and said, "Immediately close all the side and corner doors of Ciqing Palace, and don't open them without my order. If anyone dares to go in or out without me, let alone let them in..." Chu Jin Yao's eyes slowly swept across the people in the courtyard, and all those who were seen bowed their heads and held their breaths. After Chu Jinyao swept around, her lips were lightly opened, and she said four words slowly but firmly: "All are killed."
The eunuch paced for a long time in front of the tightly closed gate of Ciqing Palace, and finally ordered the Ciqing Palace to be firmly surrounded, and he hurried back to resume his orders.
Chu Jinyao listened to the report of the little eunuch guarding the door, saying that now the Ciqing Palace is tightly surrounded by people, let alone a living person, I am afraid not even a fly can fly out. Chu Jinyao sighed, nodded and said, "I see, you go down and keep looking outside carefully."
Chu Jinyao didn't know who the emperor listened to again, and even suspected that Qin Yi had rebellion. Chu Jinyao thought it was ridiculous to hear this. Qin Yi was already the crown prince. After so many years, his position was stable and popular. Why did he rebel? Chu Jinyao was angry that the emperor was faint and that King Su was shameless, so there was no need to inquire about it. The rumors about Qin Yi's rebellion, including today's one, must be caused by Concubine Shu and King Su again.
The only thing that Chu Jinyao is happy about now is that Qin Yi is in the Xishan military camp. Qin Yi's reputation in the army is very high, and he is still the head coach of rebuilding the three armies. Even if King Su and the eunuchs were given ten courage, they would not dare to enter Xishan. Therefore, as long as Qin Yi does not leave Xishan and the army, he will be fine.
Presumably King Su was also concerned about this, so he suddenly attacked, and wanted to enter the East Palace to search on the trumped-up charge of rebellion. However, the dignified East Palace is the foundation of a country, and the significance of etiquette is so important. If it is easy to be searched, even if no evidence of rebellion is found, the reputation of the East Palace has plummeted, and it is no longer able to convince the public.
How could Chu Jinyao let King Su succeed? Anyway, she would not give in anyway. If King Su and Concubine Shu were open to face, they could break into the door and search forcibly. I want to take it off. Chu Jinyao is their eldest sister-in-law, and now she is a pregnant woman who is pregnant with Liujia. If King Su really dares to be tough, then he will forcefully break into the house to search while the eldest brother is not bullying the pregnant sister-in-law. After coming down, King Su's reputation will be completely lost. He vigorously created his image as a worthy king some time ago, when the public opinion backfires, his troubles will only be greater.
The eunuch of the East Factory was stubborn, and Chu Jinyao's attitude was even more stubborn. After hearing this, Concubine Shu had no choice but to bring her daughter-in-law, Princess Su, to the East Palace to gnaw on a stubborn bone.
Concubine Shu was sitting in the guest seat, with Zhao Lanhui standing behind her. She tried her best to pull out a soft smile and called out in a warm voice, "Prince Concubine."
Chu Jinyao sat in the main seat, not looking in the direction of Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu's face twitched, and she continued to smile and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, and the prince's belly is already so big. The spirit of the prince, I think this child is also a strong body. By the way, the prince should be in April. Are you giving birth?"
Chu Jinyao folded her hands on her lap and glanced at Concubine Shu lightly: "What does this have to do with you?"
Concubine Shu's smile froze, and her face became tense: "Prince Concubine, as a royal family member, speaks so rudely. If this is spread to the outside world, it seems to be a loss of royal dignity."
"It also depends on who is speaking. When I talk to people who are benevolent, righteous, polite, and faithful, I naturally also talk about benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and sincerity, but if the other person is not, why should I talk with ducks and talk about it in vain."
"You..." Zhao Lanhui glared angrily at Chu Jinyao, and Concubine Shu waved her hand, indicating that Zhao Lanhui was not here to speak. After waiting for the others to leave, Concubine Shu looked at Chu Jinyao with a full smile, and even lowered her head to glance at Chu Jinyao's belly: "This palace knows that the princess has been very favored since she entered the palace, and the prince will always respond to your requests, even for the sake of it. You leave the East Palace vacant, and even the emperor is willing to listen to your advice. Empress Mu Huai was so arrogant when she was alive, and it was not the same as falling on the crown princess. But the crown princess is still young, and I am a visitor. It's not necessarily a good thing to be fast, it's better to be low-profile. The princess is also pregnant now, so she can accumulate blessings for her children."
"You came to threaten me with a child?" Chu Jinyao finally turned her face and met Concubine Shu's gaze. Concubine Shu looked gentle and kind, but under her thin layer of disguise, her eyes were full of sinister and scheming. Chu Jinyao understood Concubine Shu's unfinished meaning. Chu Jinyao's birth date was in April, and there was not much left since now, and there are too many ways for women to give birth. Concubine Shu used her soon-to-be-born child to coerce Chu Jinyao into submission.
Chu Jinyao looked at Concubine Shu coldly, and suddenly smiled lightly. Concubine Shu was confused by her smile and frowned, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, I just think that Concubine Shu and the Empress who just passed away are really destined."
Concubine Shu was actually annoyed by Empress Xiao Qi. When she was a child, she was pressed by Empress Da Qi. Empress Da Qi was his wife and she was a concubine. Concubine Shu endured it, but Empress Da Qi died later. Concubine Shu's words and deeds were not bad. , why continue to let Da Qi's younger sister press her head? She is just a stinky girl, why should Concubine Shu kneel down and bow down? After all, Concubine Shu knew about Xiao Qi and secretly gave them medicine, killing Concubine Shu's children. Concubine Shu's hatred for Empress Xiao Qi became stronger and stronger, almost gouging out her heart. Bone bite.
Concubine Shu's face was sullen, obviously disgusting and related to Xiao Qi, but this was not over yet, Chu Jinyao ignored Concubine Shu's disgusted face and continued: "The queen gave medicine to everyone in the harem, and maybe she will kill Concubine Shu's son. Concubine Shu also poisoned the queen with her own hands, and now she threatens others with unborn children. Concubine Shu, do you think that the two of you are very destined?"
After Chu Jinyao finished speaking, she looked at Concubine Shu and spit out a cold sentence: "Although it is detrimental to yin morals, I still want to tell Concubine Shu that you deserve it. A person who can use an unborn child as a threat, You deserve to live without your own children."
As soon as these words came out, the few remaining people in the room couldn't stand, and Concubine Shu's maid was naturally furious. On the surface, Zhao Lanhui seemed to share the same hatred, but in fact he was secretly looking at Concubine Shu with his eyes. The king is just an adopted son. On the other hand, the several maids on Chu Jinyao's side were all sullen, but their hearts were very happy.
Concubine Shu herself clenched her fingers so tightly that she could almost see her pale knuckles. Her face was tense, but her shoulders were shaking slightly, and she was obviously very angry.
After all, Concubine Shu was an old man in the palace. She paused for a long time, suppressing her anger, and instead smiled at Chu Jinyao: "Prince Concubine is so eloquent, this time is an eye-opener for this palace. Since the Concubine doesn't care about dignity, Then this palace doesn't have to save face for this junior like you. It's better to tell you the truth, the emperor is very suspicious of the prince's original intention to go to Xishan, so he ordered people to search the east palace, but I didn't expect the crown prince's reaction to be so big."
Speaking of which, Concubine Shu smiled lightly, and looked at Chu Jinyao as if watching a good show: "Prince Concubine, if you are sensible, you should cooperate obediently now, if you insist on confronting Your Majesty, then this hat of rebellion, I guess it's settled."
Chu Jinyao thought to herself, in fact, she also doubted Qin Yi's original intention to go to Xishan. Most of your guesses are true. But Chu Jinyao couldn't say these words, she still had a posture that she was not afraid of the shadow, and said brazenly: "Since Concubine Shu suspects, then bring out the evidence, and don't gossip with just one mouth. Your Highness also thinks so, if Concubine Shu and Concubine Su are not satisfied, they can go to the emperor to complain, I have nothing to comment."
Chu Jinyao picked up the tea, and the meaning of seeing off the guests was very obvious. Concubine Shu was a little annoyed when she saw that Chu Jinyao was soft and hard to eat. After discussing with King Su, she felt that now that Qin Yi was not there, Chu Jinyao was the only girl in the East Palace. When she heard the capital crime of rebellion, she would definitely be frightened, but it wasn't that Concubine Shu and a few people should do whatever they said and let them play with it. Once it can be searched, the East Palace is so big, and it is enough to find anything.
It's a pity that Chu Jinyao doesn't eat hard and soft, and dares to shut the door for Dongchang's fans, and directly puts on a stubborn and unyielding posture. Concubine Shu and King Su are concerned about their reputation, and they can't really be strong.
This was embarrassing. Concubine Shu sat for a cup of tea in Chu Jinyao's place, she didn't get anything and didn't say anything, and she made herself angry. Concubine Shu has been in the harem for so many years, and it has been a long time since she had tasted this kind of deflation.
Concubine Shu stood up with a sullen face, obviously so angry that she didn't even want to maintain her face. She said coldly: "Since the Crown Princess is arrogant and arrogant and obsessed, I can only report the situation today to the Emperor and let the Emperor deal with it. Crown Princess, you can do it yourself. Oh yes, the Emperor specially instructed, The prince's intentions are wrong now, and it is inappropriate to put the phoenix seal in the harem again. Crown princess, hand over the phoenix seal."
Chu Jinyao didn't move her brows and eyes, she waved her hand and motioned Linglong to get it. Her movements were neat and quick, which disappointed Zhao Lanhui, who wanted to watch a good show.
That is the phoenix seal that every woman in the world is rushing to. Zhao Lanhui thought that if the phoenix seal was taken away, Chu Jinyao would be very reluctant and angry. Thinking like this, Zhao Lanhui refused to let go of this good show so easily, he deliberately lifted the silk and looked at Feng Yin and said, "I remember when the Crown Princess brought Feng Yin from Kunning Palace a few days ago, it was the same. The situation, how long has it been, and it happened again. It's really impermanent."
Zhao Lanhui deliberately sighed at the impermanence of the world, and Chu Jinyao looked at her with a light smile on his lips: "Isn't the world impermanent, there is no doubt that Queen Mu Huai's blood is still on it."
Zhao Lanhui's fingers on the phoenix seal suddenly shrank, Chu Jinyao continued: "Queen Mu Huai was the most obsessed with the court in her life, but she was reluctant to die. I heard that people who died in vain had the most resentment, maybe, first The queen's soul is still lingering in the deep palace forbidden garden, trying to find out the real murderer who killed her."
Concubine Shu's complexion has changed a bit now. After staying in the deep palace for a long time, she will become superstitious, especially those who have ghosts in their hearts. Ghosts and gods are the most taboo. Chu Jinyao looked into Concubine Shu's eyes, and said faintly, "Concubine Shu, put this phoenix seal on your bed, aren't you afraid?"
"Ridiculous! The dignified prince concubine, it is really indecent to say the words of these rough women in the market." Concubine Shu stood up and raised her sleeves angrily. Zhao Lanhui hurriedly followed, and halfway through, Chu Jinyao's words caught up from behind slowly, and got into Zhao Lanhui's ear: "Princess Su, I heard that you donated sesame oil to Huangjue Temple in the name of Empress Mu Huai a few days ago, you Saying you do this, will you bring back something amazing?"
Zhao Lanhui's scalp was about to explode, she controlled herself with all her might, and quickly followed Concubine Shu away from the Ciqing Palace.
After waiting for the others to leave, Chu Jinyao raised her hand to look at her well-manicured nails, stood up as if nothing had happened, and said, "It's really boring. I've been sitting for too long and my waist is uncomfortable, so please accompany me to go outside. "
Linglong and the others hurriedly responded, and they were amazed in their hearts. The words that the Crown Princess said just now made their backs go cold. Seeing how frightened Concubine Shu and Princess Su were, the Crown Princess herself was talking with her. Like no one else, it's boring to stay. Linglong remembered the gentle and quiet temperament of the fifth girl when she was just pointed out to the fifth girl by Mrs. Chu.
The harem is a scary place.
