Chapter 153

Dinner was quickly served.

It is said that it is a whole fish feast, even if it is a whole fish feast, it is really a shame that the dining room handles affairs properly, but the rule in the Forbidden City is that even if there are knives outside, it cannot affect the meals of the masters.

The Imperial Concubine, Feng Sheng, the Sixteenth Prince, and Brother Xuan and Brother Xuan were all there, except Brother Xuan who was still silly and seemed very happy, because today not only Mother and Big Brother were here, but Uncle Sixteen and Grandmother were also there. Now, it made him feel very excited.

Everyone else was a little bit overwhelmed.

“This fish is not bad.” Seeing that no one moved their chopsticks, the imperial concubine smiled and said, “What’s wrong with the children today? Even if it’s raining outside, you still have to eat, eat well, take a bath and sleep Once you wake up, maybe it will be sunny tomorrow.”

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of fish for Shiliu and Pong and put it in their bowls. Brother Xuan needs to be more precise here, and pick out all the fishbone.

Feng Sheng also realized that his downfall would affect the children, so he cheered up, sang with the imperial concubine and served food for a few children, and said something to divert their attention.

After dinner, because it was raining too much outside, the Sixteenth Prince did not go back to Haiyan Hall, but stayed in Baoyue Tower, living with Brother Ping.

Brother Xuan made a fuss to go together, this time Brother Xuan didn’t dislike his younger brother for making trouble, and took him away together.

In the room, only the imperial concubine and Feng Sheng were left.

The imperial concubine forced a smile and said: “Did it spoil your mood? You must want to ask me what’s going on? Actually, I don’t know too well. His Majesty suddenly ordered someone to send me to Baoyue Tower .”

Feng Sheng’s heart sank.

She thought about the matter of asking the children to come back to eat the whole fish feast. According to this, the matter was not arranged by the imperial concubine, so it was Emperor Jianping?

The imperial concubine saw her serious face, patted her hand, and comforted her: “Don’t worry, I think His Majesty must have his deep meaning in making such an arrangement, maybe everything has been arranged by him, we just have to wait Just finish it.”

“Finish?”

“Yes, it’s over.” But the imperial concubine had nothing in her heart.

When Qing Chenzi said that there was no one inside, someone immediately felt that they were being fooled.

Jiang Boxue said with a dark face: “The old man is quite old and can’t stand such a joke. Lord Hui should order someone to send the old man back.”

Chief Assistant Ji Zhongnian stood beside him all the time without saying a word, and when he saw this, he stood beside Jiang Boxue, probably meaning the same thing.

At this time, Chen Qinghua stepped forward and said, “It’s raining heavily outside, why is there no one in the hall? This is really strange…”

Lu Yunfu, the censor of Zuodu, has always had a bad temper, especially when it was raining so heavily outside, even though they were wearing coir raincoats all the way, the clothes were still wet, which made people irritable for no reason.

“What’s so strange? We were sent by His Highness King Hui’s false oracle. Even if something happens at that time, it has nothing to do with us. Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that? Could it be that there is something wrong with Han Yuan Hall?” Has something to do with us?”

Chen Qinghua was suffocated, his face immediately darkened, a sharp light flashed in his old eyes, but the light was dim, so he couldn’t see clearly.

“It’s not that Hui Wang falsely preached the oracle, it was my palace who asked him to invite all the adults here.”

Amidst the rain, a female voice came.

As the sound came, there were some faint lights not far ahead, and a group of people came in the rain after a while, and it was Empress Chen who brought the people.

She was wearing a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, and a phoenix robe, which was extraordinarily solemn, but this attire seemed a bit abrupt at this time.

The purpose of coming to Xiyuan was to escape the summer heat, because it was not in the palace, even Emperor Jianping seldom wore auspicious clothes, but Empress Chen was well-dressed. It’s like singing an opera on a grass platform in the countryside. The people above keep everything simple, and the people below don’t care about it and just want to have a good time. Suddenly, a well-dressed Huadan descends from the sky.

Good-looking is good-looking, but it makes people feel uncoordinated.

However, several ministers still respectfully saluted Empress Chen.

“Meet the empress.”

Empress Chen looked serious, but said with sorrow: “The imperial concubine is seductive and seductive. This palace has long since fallen out of favor. I have been living alone in Kunning Palace in recent years. I can’t be your queen. But as long as I sit in the queen’s position for a day On the day, I have to take on the heavy responsibility of the queen for one day.

“Recently, King Hui and I discovered that His Majesty seldom shows up in front of people. He said that he was taking care of the dragon’s body, but only let the imperial concubine serve in front of him, and no one else could get close to him easily. The day before yesterday, a loyal slave informed me that His Majesty’s dragon body was already in critical condition. However, the imperial concubine controls the left and right, neither letting the imperial doctor Xuan nor others approach, together with the chief **** Fu Lu, there is a suspicion of treason, so today the palace will let King Hui come here under the guise of the imperial edict Xuaner.”

After hearing Empress Chen’s words, several adults all looked at each other in blank dismay, and some remained silent, as if considering the importance of the words.

Empress Chen continued: “Today, I personally brought people to ask the imperial concubine to question her, but she is not in the Zaoyun Building, and now His Majesty is gone, so I am really worried, and I hope you adults can help me.” .”

Ji Zhongnian thought for a while and asked, “I don’t know how the empress wants me to help you?”

“My lords have nothing else to do for me. It’s just that Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine are missing. The most urgent thing now is to find them. I’m afraid I’ll have to ask someone from the Wei Palace. The identities of this palace and Prince Hui are sensitive. It is unavoidable that there is a suspicion of melon fields and plums, so I hope all the adults can help me and King Hui to make personal certificates, I don’t want to be wholeheartedly for His Majesty, for the sake of the court and society, and end up being labeled as a treason.”

Hearing now, the meaning of Queen Chen’s words is already very obvious.

She suspected that the imperial concubine had kidnapped His Majesty, who was seriously ill, and that she summoned all the important ministers today was to expose this conspiracy. It’s a pity that something happened to Han Yuan Hall, and she couldn’t tell the details, so now I have to find Emperor Jianping first.

If you want to find His Majesty, you must first find the imperial concubine, and the closest relationship with the imperial concubine is Wei Wangfu, so I am afraid that we will have to take down the family members of Wei Wang to find out what happened.

Several adults looked at each other in blank dismay, seeing that they didn’t need to do anything but just be a witness, they didn’t reject it.

Now that this matter is not only His Majesty’s housework, it is also related to the court and society. Even if they don’t want to wade into this muddy water, they probably won’t be able to.

“I will provide circumstantial evidence for this matter, but I hope the empress will not make any big moves. After all, it is still unclear what is going on now.” Ji Zhongnian, the chief assistant, cupped his hands.

His meaning was also very clear, it was fine to testify, but they would not interfere with other matters, and told Empress Chen not to complain, after all, so many eyes were watching.

“My lords, please rest assured.” Empress Chen forced a smile.

He ordered people to arrange Ji Zhongnian and others to rest in the side hall. At this time, the person who brought Zhang Laishun down for questioning also came back.

“Madam, Your Highness, Eunuch Zhang said that he doesn’t know His Majesty’s whereabouts. He had a bad stomach today and was not on duty. He just came back to Hanyuan Hall and felt better. Come and have a look. Unexpectedly, he was killed by King Hui when he arrived at the gate.” His Highness ordered someone to seize it.”

Empress Chen cast a questioning look at King Hui, who nodded with an ugly face.

He did know about this matter, he bought some eyeliner in Hanyuan Hall, and Zhang Laishun reported to him that he was not on duty today.

Empress Chen glanced at King Hui and hurried to the side, and King Hui hurriedly followed.

“Mother, what should I do? Why did the father disappear?”

To be honest, King Hui is also a little confused now, he has designed everything, and then said Qingchenzi to attack Emperor Jianping, the few pills that were in question were offered by Qingchenzi a few days ago, today the father took them After taking the elixir, someone came to report to him that His Majesty was unconscious after taking the elixir. The imperial concubine panicked and ordered people to close the door of Hanyuan Hall, and secretly ordered someone to invite the imperial physician.

King Hui knew that the opportunity had come.

He ordered someone to stop the **** who was going to preach the imperial doctor, and at the same time, he ordered people to pass on non-stop to several highly respected ministers in the court.

Catch the thief and see the dirty, and catch the adulterer and make a couple. When Emperor Jianping died suddenly, the imperial concubine who served on one side could not escape the suspicion. There was no will left, so it was only natural that he, the eldest son, should inherit the throne.

Everything went according to plan, but when things came to an end, Emperor Jianping’s people disappeared.

“Where did the father go? Could it be that he was really hidden by the imperial concubine? But there is no sign of any abnormality in the Hanyuan Palace. I have been keeping people watching here. If there is any abnormality, I will definitely report it.” King Hui kept going back and forth. Turning around, everything in front of him was like a mess in front of him, and he couldn’t figure it out no matter what, his mind was in a mess.

Empress Chen showed a trace of anxiety after she arrived, but she still forced herself to be calm: “What are you talking about now?”

“But if Father is fine and discovers the problem in the elixir, when the time comes…”

“Shut up!” Empress Chen roared hoarsely with her nose flaring, and immediately she knew that this place was not a place to make a scene, so she lowered her voice: “What’s the use of you talking about it now? It’s for the present You just have to find your father quickly, as long as you find someone, it doesn’t matter whether he is dead or alive, everything can be pushed to the imperial concubine.”

“Mother, you mean—”

Hui Wang read out the subtext of Queen Chen, and was startled into a cold sweat, and then he shivered again and woke up.

Although the whole incident was unexpected, as long as the father really took the elixir, it would not affect anything. The result they want is that the father was killed by the imperial concubine under the witness of all the ministers. Originally, they wanted to convict her if the imperial concubine denied it. If the imperial concubine was so stupid to hide the father The sudden death happened just as they wanted.

But the premise is that the father really took the problematic pill.

King Hui thought and thought in his heart, recalling every word and sentence that his subordinates said when he came down to report today, his heart gradually calmed down.

He kowtowed ninety-nine times, and he didn’t care about this last bow. If his father hadn’t been biased, he wouldn’t have been forced to do this kind of ruthless hand.

So father, if you want to blame, blame yourself, who made you trust and spoil the mother and son.

“Son understands.”

“Tell Mr. Chen to keep those lords stable. Bring more people. When you go out to find people, you will say that the imperial concubine is plotting against you. This palace and the cabinet lords will find out. Send more confidantes to Baoyue Tower. No matter whether the people in the Wei Palace recognize it or not, arrest them first and then talk.” Empress Chen clenched the hand under her sleeve, a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes.

“Son, let’s do it.”

At this time Fuchun came over, her pace was very fast, and she hurriedly said after standing still: “Madam, Mrs. Ji said that it is better to choose a few adults to go to Baoyue Tower with Madam, now that King Wei is not in the capital, and Concubine Wei is here Being pregnant, it is really not easy to go to war, and it is also to avoid misunderstandings and make it unsightly.”

“This old man! At this time, he still wants to have the best of both worlds?!” With a click, the nail on Empress Chen’s little finger was pinched off by her.

King Hui panicked again.

“Then mother, what do you say now?”

Empress Chen straightened her back, her shoulders were straight, her voice regained her composure.

“What should I do or not? Since they are going, let them go. Remember that Baoyue Tower is only secondary. What matters is to find your father. They went just so as not to get in the way.”

King Hui nodded, and a ruthless look flashed across his face: “My son understands.”

Messy footsteps sounded outside Baoyue Tower, but people did not get in, but were stopped outside.

Feng Sheng and Imperial Concubine Huang walked to the window and looked at the situation outside through the rain.

Tao Zhi hurried in, with a strange expression on his face: “Your Majesty, my concubine, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Ji and other ministers, also brought many guards, led by He Nian, the **** next to the empress. He Nian said that His Majesty and the emperor The noble concubine disappeared in Yingtai, the imperial concubine was suspected of treason, so she was ordered to search Baoyue Tower. However, Master Ji’s tone was different from him, he only asked questions, so don’t startle the princess.”

This news is really surprising, it is said that His Majesty and the imperial concubine disappeared in Yingtai, but the imperial concubine is in Baoyue Tower. That is to say, no one knows that the imperial concubine is in Baoyue Tower? What about His Majesty’s disappearance?

Feng Sheng went to see the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine shook her head.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, Feng Sheng said: “Mother Concubine, what are you talking about—”

The imperial concubine thought for a while, then pursed her lips and said, “Since they want to see me, let them see me and accuse me of treason? What a joke!”

Before the words were finished, the imperial concubine walked out first, followed by Feng Sheng.

Not long after, a group of ministers were brought in, as well as the **** He Nian. When everyone swept the raindrops off their bodies and entered the door, they were all shocked when they saw the imperial concubine sitting at the top.

“I heard that someone said I was plotting treason, so I wanted to ask, I just came to see my pregnant daughter-in-law and two grandchildren, how could it be related to treason?”

“This…”
