The old marquis moved so fast that Concubine Jing didn't have time to react, and she was brought to the door.
Of course, the main reason is that she didn't expect the old man to do this all of a sudden, and she herself was out of the situation.
The one who is more out of the situation than her is the emperor.
The emperor looked at the old marquis dressed in night clothes, and then looked at the hand of the old marquis holding Princess Jing's wrist, and his mind exploded at that time!
He only heard a buzzing sound, and then his whole mind went blank!
The excitement of the scene in front of him was so great that he lost his voice!
The old man took a step.
He obviously didn't expect to meet the emperor. When he passed by the imperial study, he saw the lamp inside was still on, and he thought the emperor would criticize Zhezi for a long time.
Concubine Jing was the first to react, and she withdrew her hand.
However, the old man subconsciously grabbed her hand back again, only to realize that something was wrong after grabbing it, but unfortunately the catastrophe has already happened.
The emperor was furious, and Lei was furious: "Gu Chao!"
The old man shook his body and let go of Concubine Jing's hand.
The one who was shocked by the emperor's stern shout was Mama Cai, who had gone to the Gong's room.
Madam Cai saw Concubine Jing and the old marquis inside the threshold, and saw the angry emperor outside the threshold, what else did she not understand
She secretly scolded her for being a sinner, how could she have stabbed such a big basket after walking away for a while!
Knowing this earlier, she just held back!
The emperor clenched his fists tightly, almost using all his strength to suppress the urge to behead the old marquis without a decree, he squeezed a word out of the gap between his teeth: "Gu Chao! What is this all about? What? You'd better explain it to me!"
If the old sacrificial wine is here, there will be countless rhetoric to round this matter, the emperor believes it or not, in short, he can't recognize it if he is killed, and he must firmly adhere to "the relationship between the minister and the concubine is a pure monarch-subject relationship" and so on!
But the old man is not such a temperament. He uses his soldiers on the battlefield like a god, is surprisingly cunning, and never tires of deceit. When he is on the battlefield, his brain seems to be left there.
In private, he is a person with a gut to the end, completely without the cunning and shamelessness of the old sacrificial wine.
The emperor didn't catch him, so he didn't have to explain it to the emperor, but the emperor bumped into it, so quibbling was meaningless.
He knelt down with a plop, and the floor almost cracked with a thud.
"Your Majesty!" He raised his head and said in a deep voice, "I am guilty!"
Seeing that the needle was inserted into the seam, Mama Cai pointed her finger at his nose and said, "Of course you are guilty! As His Majesty's courtier, His Majesty trusts you so much, yet you sneaked into the palace in the middle of the night to hijack the concubine!"
Admit it, admit it, old marquis, quickly carry the black cauldron on your back, don't implicate the empress!
Behind the big tree not far away, an inconspicuous little eunuch quietly withdrew, ran all the way to the Renshou Palace, and reported the news of Huaqing Palace to Eunuch Qin.
Ouch, the excitement doesn't look like a bastard!
Eunuch Qin happily went to report to Empress Dowager Zhuang.
"What's so good about this?" Empress Dowager Zhuang was not interested in Princess Jing's affair.
But Eunuch Qin wants to see it!
Heartbreaking!
Eunuch Qin said bitterly: "Look at a lot of meat, you have been acting with Your Majesty for so long, and it should pay off! Step on her earlier, so you don't have to act anymore?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang thought it was feasible, and put down the book in her hand and went to Huaqing Palace.
The atmosphere of Huaqing Palace was so dignified that everyone couldn't breathe.
"The Queen Mother arrives—"
With Eunuch Qin's communication, everyone's bodies fell even lower.
Concubine Jing and Grandma Cai glanced here in unison. Empress Dowager Zhuang was wearing a gorgeous and expensive phoenix robe. The body and wide sleeves were embroidered with a phoenix that was about to fly. She walked slowly in the dark night, unexpectedly inexplicable. Gives people the pressure of a judge.
The old marquis and the emperor were silently confronting each other, and they did not look at the Queen Mother Zhuang, but even so, the two still felt the aura from her.
Eunuch Wei bowed to Empress Dowager Zhuang.
Empress Dowager Zhuang walked up the steps, glanced at everyone, and asked lightly: "Oh, it's so late, Huaqing Palace is still so lively, and even the old Marquis Gu is here. Why is the old Marquis kneeling? Even kneeling in Master Jing'an's meditation room."
Mentioning this, the emperor remembered that Gu Chao, the old man, was not kneeling in a place. He bit his teeth and said, "Get out of here and kneel!"
The old man knelt down in the courtyard.
Empress Dowager Zhuang asked slowly, "What happened? Does His Majesty punish him to kneel?"
Madam Cai hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother doesn't know anything. The old man sneaked into the palace in the middle of the night and kidnapped the Empress Dowager. If His Majesty hadn't arrived in time, the Empress Dowager would have suffered an accident."
Empress Dowager Zhuang raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Hijacking the concubine? Aijia remembers that there is a dragon shadow guard left by the late emperor in Huaqing Palace. Are all the dragon shadow guards dead? Have to wait for your majesty to come down to rescue the concubine?"
As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face changed!
He was so angry just now that he forgot that he had sent Long Yingwei to Concubine Jing.
Yes, with Long Yingwei around, how could Gu Chao approach Concubine Jing
It will never be Long Yingwei who is distracting people again!
Even if he was distracted for a while, Long Yingwei should have come back after he had been here for so long.
Long Yingwei did not appear from beginning to end, so there is only one possibility: Concubine Jing made them retreat!
So, it wasn't that Gu Chao hijacked Princess Jing!
It's the two of them... the two of them...
The emperor forced himself not to think about those two words, but Eunuch Qin said them out of surprise: "Yeah! In the middle of the night, Master Jing'an didn't want to escape from the palace with the old marquis, right? ?"
Wei Gonggong said: "Yes, yes! You don't really want to escape from the palace privately, do you?"
Madam Cai was going crazy, she glared at Eunuch Wei, where are you from!
Eunuch Wei covered his mouth, oh well, his mouth was sloppy.
"Eunuch Qin! Be careful!" Mama Cai shouted fiercely!
But what's the use of her being louder? It's just a bluff.
The facts are in front of us, and no amount of sophistry can solve the fact that Long Yingwei didn't take action.
Concubine Jing looked at Empress Dowager Zhuang who was outside the threshold through the dark night.
Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't even have an heir, but she could still stand in the harem for many years. How could it be just luck
It's not that she doesn't know those tricks, it's just that there are some things she doesn't bother to fight for.
And this seems to give some people the illusion that she is nothing more than that, and she can't do anything other than blindly take the blame and blindly chill her heart.
Zhuang Jinse is proud.
The proud Zhuang Jinse will not come to see the excitement of Concubine Jing, nor will she attack Concubine Jing.
She is disdainful.
Zhuang Jinse has changed.
She is still proud, but more than proud.
Concubine Jing squeezed the string of beads in her hand.
Empress Dowager Zhuang smiled coldly: "Aijia asked you several times over the years if you wanted to come back, but you said no. It's fine for you to stay in the nunnery. Aijia thought you were being polite."
As she said, she gave the old man a meaningful look, "So it's the truth."
Empress Dowager Zhuang said that, she left with Eunuch Qin.
Madam Cai was anxious: "The queen mother! You can't talk nonsense! When did you ask the concubine if she wanted to go back to the palace!"
Did Empress Dowager Zhuang ask
of course not.
but.
Are they only allowed to put a hat on her
In this situation, the right time and the right place, the old lady is going to kill you!
The Queen Mother Zhuang who folded her waist for five candied fruits is so domineering!
Men are always particularly concerned about this kind of thing. Because they do, they are suspicious. Empress Dowager Zhuang's words have undoubtedly become the last straw that bends the camel's back.
Madam Cai knelt down and begged bitterly: "Your Majesty! Don't listen to the Queen Mother's nonsense! The Empress Dowager and Gu Laohou are innocent! The Empress Dowager never said anything like that to the Empress Dowager! The Empress Dowager never sent People go to the nunnery and invite the concubine to return to the palace! The concubine is your mother-in-law! You must believe her! Your Majesty! You must believe in the concubine—"
The emperor's heart hurts.
It hurts more than when I found out that Lao Jijiu had fathered him.
Perhaps it was because he subconsciously understood that Lao Jijiu and Empress Dowager Zhuang could not be true. A woman like Empress Dowager Zhuang did not need any man.
She is too strong and too strong.
However, his concubine Jing was weak and helpless, and Gu Chao saved her life.
When he hesitated whether to agree to Gu Chao's request for marriage, she was the one who spoke for Gu Chao.
Could it be... Could it be that she really has Gu Chao in her heart
He looked at Concubine Jing hurt, and said with red eyes: "If I hadn't happened to be touched by me, would the concubine... have already left with him?"
At this moment, he finally understood where his sadness was.
Even if Empress Dowager Zhuang does have a man, she will not give up the country or power.
She is still the high-ranking Queen Mother Zhuang, and she is still his mother. No matter how much he hates her, despises her, hates her, he can never get rid of her.
Concubine Jing just wanted to abandon him.
She doesn't want him anymore, she doesn't want her own son anymore.
The emperor's throat throbbed.
He turned around, holding back the surging tears in his eyes: "...you go."
