In the middle of the night, Wuyou is far away in Zixiang Pass, her bedroom, no, to be more precise, how could there be a half-naked man in her bed? Moreover, this man is breathing evenly and sleeping soundly at this moment, as if he is sleeping in his own home. This situation was so weird that she exclaimed, realizing it was too late.
The hazy drowsiness dissipated at this moment, she opened her eyes wide and confirmed again and again that she was not delusional, this palace is heavily guarded, who is so bold? After being stunned for a moment, she immediately jumped out of bed. Without hesitation, he picked up the Xuan Po beside the bed and pointed at the naked man.
And just after she exclaimed, the guards outside the hall immediately shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, what happened? Is there an assassin?" When the word assassin was mentioned, her voice was already sharp, as if she was extremely frightened, and immediately spread the word "Assassin". All over the Manxiang Palace.
As soon as the night guards heard that there was an assassin in the imperial concubine's bedroom, they immediately drew their swords and rushed towards the Manxiang Hall. Without waiting for an announcement, they rushed into the bedroom.
"Where is the assassin?" The leader is Geng Yi, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard Army. As soon as he entered the room, he shouted: "Protect your mother!"
The maids and eunuchs of Manxiang Palace also gathered here.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, Man Yao was startled, she didn't have time to think about it, so she stopped her voice: "Stop." She has sex with men, so no one should know, this is a subconscious intuitive reaction . Hastily put down the bed curtain, put the engraving in his hand behind his back, faced the door and reprimanded: "Who let you in?"
The guard who had already rushed in quickly stopped, not daring to take another step forward. Geng Yi saw that the imperial concubine was standing there in good condition, and there was no one else in the room except her, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. Seeing that she was only wearing a middle coat and her face was unhappy because of their intrusion, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to plead guilty: "The humble official just heard that there were assassins, and he brought someone into the empress's bedroom because he was worried about her safety. Damn, please forgive me!"
The guards behind also knelt down, "I beg your forgiveness."
The cold moonlight fell through the diamond-shaped panes into the dark and gloomy room, and the spacious bedroom seemed a bit crowded due to the sudden influx of too many court ladies, eunuchs, and guards.
Man Yao regained consciousness and quickly calmed down from this sudden situation. My mind was running fast, not thinking about the identity of this man and his purpose of appearing here, but thinking about what consequences would be caused if this matter got out? She glanced lightly at the maids, eunuchs, and guards all over the room, and said in a flat voice: "I have nothing to do with you in this palace, so you all step back."
"Yes." The guards breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were not punished. Just as he was about to exit the door, suddenly, behind the curtain of the carved bed behind Man Yao, came a charming and blurred male voice, as if he had just woken up, with a slight hoarseness, it was transmitted to everyone present with incomparable clarity ear: "Mother, why don't you go to bed yet?!"
As soon as he heard the voice, Man Yao's heart sank, and he sneered to himself, this person woke up just in time. Now, even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she wouldn't be able to cleanse herself! Once this kind of thing happened, I couldn't explain it clearly. Even if she pointed out that there was someone in the room at the beginning, and asked the guards to arrest the man and rectify Fa on the spot, I am afraid that it would not be the case if it was spread out. If someone had set up this trick, they would not allow it to pass by in a calm manner, and the man who committed suicide could sneak into the palace without being noticed, so he might not be a character who could be caught easily.
Sure enough, the group of guards, palace eunuchs and eunuchs opened their mouths wide in shock, and stared at them in disbelief. Their expressions seemed to be struck by lightning, and they were dumbfounded. There are men
"Sister Princess, what happened?" Xiao Ke had already fallen asleep, and only got up when he heard the movement.
Man Yao didn't make a sound. The room was eerily quiet, and a needle could be heard falling. Xiao could see that the atmosphere was weird, no one spoke, and she also kept silent.
The bed curtain was lifted, and a seductive-looking man with his upper body naked stretched out a hand sleepily, as if he wanted to pull the woman standing by the bed into the room, and said, "Your Majesty, it's so late, please rest quickly .” The habitual language and tone, as well as this kind of ambiguous action, make people think that it seems that this situation has not been a day or two. The maids, eunuchs and guards finally came to their senses. Everyone had different expressions, some were terrified, some were contemptuous, some were disappointed, some were unwilling to believe, and some were gloating. There were as many expressions as there were people.
Xiao Ke was taken aback for a moment, then rushed over, pointed at the man and exclaimed in surprise: "Ah? Who are you? You are so brave, you actually dared to run into the bed of Princess Sister!"
When the man saw her, he opened his eyes as if suddenly awakened, looked at the many people in the room, screamed, pulled a piece of clothing from the inside and put it on indiscriminately, with a trembling voice, "Mother, in the room... Why are there so many people? Ah! Could it be..." He seemed to think of something suddenly, with a terrified expression, he rolled out of the bed in a panic, and hugged her leg unexpectedly, "Ma'am, please forgive me! Is it me?" Where is it not good enough? Madam, tell me, I will change, I don’t want to die like them... I don’t want to die, Madam, please forgive me!”
In one sentence, people can understand that he is no longer a man who had an affair with the imperial concubine.
The tone is sad and frightened, this man's acting skills are really top-notch. Man Yao frowned, and raised her leg to kick him away, but this man was like a cotton candy stuck to her leg, she couldn't get rid of it no matter what. Her eyes were cold, and the mysterious soul in her hand slowly pointed at him, and said coldly: "I count to three, if you don't let go, I will cut off your arm! One, two..." She raised her sword, The cold light shone, and the murderous aura was fully manifested. The man stared, and immediately let go of his hand. Sitting down on the ground, with his arms propped behind his back, he dragged his body back in extreme fear of being silenced.
"Your Majesty!" Geng Yi stepped forward with an angry expression on his face, disregarding his status and condemned you, and asked, "Being smashed by someone like a lowly official, do you want to kill someone? The lowly official has always respected your mother as a person, and thinks that your mother has a mother." The demeanor of the world, but I didn't expect that the empress would take advantage of the emperor's expedition and enter the harem! The empress is so unrestrained, how can she be the mother of a country?"
Man Yao stared at him, as if he didn't hear his question, and then Xiao Ke said: "Ke'er, go and call Xiao Sha over."
Xiao Ke let out an "oh" and ran out immediately. Geng Yi still looked angry, the eyes of the man on the ground flashed, he got up and ran out at the right time, Man Yao and Geng Yi shouted at the same time: "Grab him!"
The guards at the door obeyed the order to block the man's way, seeing the man lying on the ground with a look of wimp and fear of death, he thought that he was just a male favorite who couldn't get on the stage, but he didn't expect that this man could actually know martial arts. I saw the strength in his palm, and suddenly waved his palm at the oncoming people. The power in the palm was so strong that the guards might as well be swept in the chest and ejected to both sides. The maids and eunuchs in the room screamed in fright, and fled with their heads in their hands.
Man Yao's eyes were sharp, seeing that the man had already rushed out of the dormitory, she flew out through the window, and at the moment the man was about to turn over and jump over the courtyard wall, she slashed straight at the back of his head.
The man was startled, he didn't expect her speed to be so fast, he had to temporarily give up running away to save his life, and hastily turned around to dodge. Man Yao's sword was becoming more and more intense. The man's martial arts were not weak, but because he didn't have a weapon on his body, he showed signs of defeat before he had completed three moves.
At this time, Geng Yi rushed out, seeing her gesturing directly at the man's vitals, thinking that she was going to kill him to silence him, the more he felt angry, the more he wanted to capture this man and hand him over to the emperor. So, he held on to the scrape, seeing that Man Yao was about to defeat the man, but because of Geng Yi's intervention, he gave the man a chance to escape.
Being able to become Commander Lei of the Imperial Guard, his martial arts will certainly not be weak. Moreover, Man Yao didn't want to hurt his life, so getting in the way was extremely troublesome.
"Get out of the way!" Manyao sternly shouted at Geng Yi.
"Your Majesty wants to destroy witnesses, so I'm sorry for being a lowly official." Geng Yi had the spirit of upholding justice until he died. He was so angry that he swayed his sword and hit him directly on the chest with a backhand. Taking advantage of his dodging, he swung his sword A sword mercilessly slashed at the hind leg bone of the man who was about to escape. In an instant, blood spurted out, and the man screamed in pain and fell to the ground. She quickly flew over and quickly hit the man's acupoints.
Those guards were all stunned on the spot, looking at her in surprise. More than two months ago, they all knew that the imperial concubine's archery skills were accurate, but unexpectedly, her sword skills were also so good. Geng Yi was even more shocked, he didn't expect that the imperial concubine would be able to capture that man who also possessed strong martial arts under his obstruction, and it only took half a stick of incense. Shock was shock, but seeing that she didn't kill the man, she was relieved.
After a while, Xiao Sha arrived. Man Yao ordered the man to be taken to the main hall for interrogation, but no matter how hard they pressed him, the man refused to let him in, he just insisted that he was the imperial concubine's male favourite, and he had been serving the imperial concubine for several days.
Man Yao sat on the chair with a calm and composed expression, not at all because of his complacency. Nonsense and angry and resentful, she knew very well that this person was just a pawn in someone else's hand, not even a corner. Her extraordinary calmness made her look a little more serious. After Geng Yi said a few words to the man who claimed to be his male favorite, they all stopped...
Man Yao stretched out her hand to hold the blue-and-white porcelain cup with a white background, the rim of the cup shone with pure white luster under the light, reflecting her smooth fingers like jade. Xiao Ke's medicine was really extraordinary, such a serious wound did not leave any scars, and the same was true on his legs.
After the fourth watch, she couldn't find anything if she asked again, she stood up calmly, and ordered: "This person trespassed on the palace's bedroom and committed misdeeds. Lock him up first, and we'll have another trial in the future." Geng Yi said in a deep voice: "Geng Yi, as the deputy commander of the imperial guards, unexpectedly happened on the day when he was on duty, what should you do?"
Geng Yi sneered at this, "If your empress wants to kill the humble official, you can do it, you don't need to waste your words. If you want to lead the official to help the empress lie to the emperor, I am sorry that the humble official cannot do it!"
Man Yao sneered and said: "You are not afraid of death! However, you think you are righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact you are stupid. You neglected your duties first, and then prevented me from catching the assassin, which is indeed a crime of beheading, but I think you will do your duty on weekdays. , and loyal to the emperor, I will spare your life for the time being. Retire."
Geng Yi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect to let him go so easily, and he didn't mention the threat of keeping them secret. Can't help but feel strange.
After everyone retreated, Xiao Sha frowned and said, "Master, these people cannot stay."
Man Yao waved his hands, and said with a solemn expression: "This matter cannot be settled by killing them. Even if they are all dead, rumors will be spread in the morning of tomorrow. And their sudden disappearance will only confirm the truth of the rumors. Sex." Another point is that she doesn't want to massacre her own people because of other people's conspiracy. There is always another solution to the matter.
Xiao Ke asked anxiously: "Then what should we do? If it spreads out, it will ruin the reputation of Princess Princess, and what if the emperor believes it to be true?"
Manyao murmured, what is it to ruin your reputation? In a few days, the court will definitely be very lively. As for Wuxin... would he believe it
Xiao Ke was frowning, really worried about her, after thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, he raised his hand and patted his head, not realizing that this action was like withdrawing from a certain person. She cried: "Ah! I figured out a way. Sister Princess, I can use medicine to make them forget what happened just now. In this way, even if someone deliberately spread the rumor, but no one can prove that they saw it with their own eyes, it will be fine." ""
This is not a bad idea! Xiao Sha nodded in agreement, "Ke'er is a good idea, if you want to do it, you have to do it now."
"Wait." Manyao also thought about this method. "Doing this may solve some problems and prevent you from escaping...Xiao Sha, how many horses do we have?"
Suddenly changing the subject, Xiao Sha didn't understand why, and replied: "There is almost nothing left. The war horses used by the Luo family army this time have been picked and picked, and there are only dozens of horses left. If they are used to pull the bronze chariot, I am afraid No. The emperor heard that the weather at Zixiang Pass was cold. Our war horses were not used to the heavy snow, and many of them froze to death. The emperor intends to send envoys to the Dust Wind Nation to buy war horses. But right now, the Dust Wind Nation’s envoys The minister was killed on the border of our country, and everyone in the Dustwind Nation is very angry about it, I am afraid that if our envoys step into the territory of the Dustwind Nation, not only will they not be able to see the Cangzhong King, but it will be very difficult for them to come back alive."
Manyao Dai frowned slightly, this matter is what made her most naive at the moment. Most of them are cavalry, and the war horses bred locally in the south of the Yangtze River have adapted to the warm climate. Once they enter the north, it is difficult to adapt. It would be great if he could buy war horses from Dust Wind Nation. She thought of that bold and generous man, and remembered that before parting, he once said that if there is anything that needs his help, just ask him. I don't know if this sentence counts? At that time, he was still a prince, but now, he is already a king, shouldering the burden of a country, will he be different because of her? I'm afraid, even if he wanted to, his courtiers would not agree.
After a moment of contemplation, she limped around the room a few times, found a pen and paper, and after a moment of hesitation, she seemed to make up her mind and wrote a letter.
Xiao Sha was standing beside her, looking at what she had written, his brows became tighter and tighter, and he shouted in disapproval: "Master!"
Xiao Ke was curious, and ran over to look, but she had already finished writing. With a calm face, he handed the letter to Xiao Sha, without doubt, and said: "Send it overnight."
As expected, on the second day, the rumor that the imperial concubine's foster male favorite was discovered by Deputy Geng and others spread in the palace and even outside the palace, and the speed of the spread of the rumor was top-notch. According to rumors, some people call her the demon concubine, some people call her a concubine, and what's more, they try every means to sneak into the palace, risk their lives to stop her, and say they want to be her male favorite. By the third day, those rumors had extended from condemnation of morality to criticism of ambition. She did not take any measures, and watched the rumors spread with cold eyes.
On this day, Qianhe Hall, morning time. Dressed in a phoenix robe, she sat alone behind the curtain, quietly looking at this empty and solemn palace. In the hall, apart from her and Xiao Xiangzi, there was no one else. Those ministers said that she raised a male pet privately, her morals are corrupt, and she is ambitious to take over the government. The two parties who have been at odds are very united this time. The emperor will not give up until he disposes of her as a "demon concubine".
Zongzheng Wuyou came back sooner than she thought. The army has not been withdrawn, and it is led by the Ninth Prince and Wu Xiangzi. He returns to the imperial court alone, with fast horses and whips, for two days and three nights, non-stop, sleepless.
When he appeared in the morning hall with an angry face, the imprisoned... the person who claimed to be her male favorite was taken to the hall by the jealous Vice Commander Geng.
It was originally a scandal of the royal family and it was not easy to publicize it, but the matter has been known to everyone, and there is no explanation, and it will be difficult to get over it.
The ministers who followed the emperor into the palace looked at the woman who was still sitting safely behind the curtain, and an old minister scolded: "The emperor is here, why do you still have the face to sit in that position? Come down and accept the crime!" He even omitted the word empress. She stood up slowly, and pushed aside the golden bead curtain, everyone faded away in her eyes, except for the man who had not seen him for many days, who was getting more and more haggard and thin.
