C406

At dusk and sunset, Zhaoming palace is like a sleeping giant, dormant there. After a day's sunshine, the snow on the roof of Ryukyu gradually melts away and drips down the eaves. In many places, it has formed inverted ice ridges.

"Empress Dowager!" Fang Zhan hurried to Chengde hall and arched his hand to empress dowager Chen, who was sitting at the top of the hall. He looked very dignified. "I searched all over the infantry Yamen and the inn where they had settled before, but I still couldn't find the lady. As for those Dongling people, they all left. I heard from the person in charge of guarding Danyang gate that just as the ban was lifted this morning, two carriages left and a group of people in black were accompanying me I suspect that they are the Dongling people. As for the imperial concubine Probably in the carriage. "

The king of Wu said in a buzzing voice: "in this way, the imperial concubine really secretly made friends with Dongling."

"No!" The speaker is Xia Yue, who is standing beside Chen. She looks excited and says, "the master has never made friends with Dongling. Don't spit out blood." Since returning to the palace, she has been restless, and the result is really something wrong.

"But the concubine and the fourth Prince of Dongling are familiar. All of us have seen it with our own eyes. Is it true?"

The king of Wei was also full of doubts, "what is the relationship between your concubine and him?"

Xia Yue bit her silver teeth. "The master and Zhang Qiling met in wanbaoge. He always claimed to be from Jiangning until he was seen through by the princess."

The king of Wu glared at a pair of big eyes of copper bells and said dissatisfied: "since your concubine has seen through his identity, she should tell Jingzhao mansion and arrest him. Why do you still have to deal with him?"

"If it wasn't for his help this time, would you be able to smooth down the Wei rebellion so smoothly?"

Wu King was so confused by her old face that she disguised herself by coughing. "How can one mix up when things are going back?"

Dai Wang thought the same way. "It really doesn't make sense. As the prince of Dongling, Zhang Qiling helped us to put down the rebellion, and then left without saying a word. He didn't ask for anything. It's really unreasonable. And the concubine. If she really has a clear conscience, why doesn't she explain to us clearly, instead, she wants to leave with those Dongling people? "

Although the other vassal kings did not speak, they looked the same as Dai Wang.

Summer month anxious pink, but she is not clear about Mu Qianxue's overall plan, for a moment can not think of words to refute, only way: "in short, master do everything for your majesty, for the big week."

Her words could not dispel the doubts in the hearts of the kings. The king of Dai said, "empress dowager, I think this matter is strange and strange. I'm afraid there will be future trouble."

Xia Yue didn't expect that her master would spare no effort to relieve Da Zhou's danger. Afterwards, she would be slandered like this. She was so angry that her eyes turned red. With tears in her eyes, she said to Chen: "Empress Dowager..."

"I know that in my heart, you can rest assured." Chen gently patted Xia Yue's hand, and the trust between her eyebrows almost made her cry.

After appeasing Xia Yue, Chen looked around at the faces of all the people, and finally fell on the face of the king of Wei, "do you have the same mind as them?"

The king of Wei thought carefully: "it is an indisputable fact that your concubines make friends with the prince of Dongling; it is also a fact that you leave Jinling without permission as a concubine, so I think..."

"What do you think?" Chen interrupted him coldly, "the AI family only knew that if it wasn't for the concubine, you and the AI family would have died in the hands of Wei today, and there was no chance to discuss right and wrong here."

The king of Wei was embarrassed by what she said. She said, "the Empress Dowager misunderstood me. I didn't mean that."

"No?" Chen said with a sneer: "although I don't know how the imperial concubine talked the prince of Dongling to help us put an end to the chaos, it's an indisputable fact that there is peace in Jinling. If the imperial concubine's intentions are not good, why should she do so many things? Is it better for Wei to bring trouble to Jinling?"

The last ray of light in the sky was swallowed up by the darkness. The maid of honor went into the room to hold the lamp, and the candles lit up one by one to light up the hall again, but they didn't need the atmosphere as sticky as glue.

"Before you heard Wei's one-sided words, you entered the capital without permission, deposed the emperor and established King Gong. I think you were deceived by Wei, not betrayed the emperor intentionally, and didn't care with you. Unexpectedly, instead of reflecting, you have been questioning your concubine. What's the reason?"

The king of Wei got up and bowed with shame and said, "I know the crime, please punish the Empress Dowager!"

Chen looked at each other coldly with sharp eyes. "Who is your concubine? I am very clear about her family. Since the emperor brought her back to Jinling, she had only the emperor in her heart. The Northern Zhou Dynasty was more like her mother country. Who would harm her mother country, would you?"

Although Chen has always been gentle, he is in a high position. Once he is cold, an invisible dignity spreads out, which makes all the kings gasp for breath. One of them leaves his seat and pleads for mercy. Some vassal kings say in fear: "I don't really doubt the imperial concubine, just the identity of Zhang Qiling..." After a pause, he summoned up his courage: "empress dowager, Dongling people are so cunning that they have to guard against them."

His words made Chen's eyes pass a haze, ponder for a moment, and said: "I've heard a few words about Zhang Qiling from the imperial concubine. Indeed, he won't help us put down the rebellion for no reason. It should be the imperial concubine's agreement with him."The king of Wei's eyebrows jumped. "Is it the twelve prefectures in the east city?"

Chen shook his head and said slowly, "if that's true, he should be negotiating with us now, not leaving the city. Moreover, the imperial concubine can't make such a promise."

The kings were silent, and the only sound in their ears was the sound of the night wind blowing over the treetops outside the window. For a long time, Chen's eyes suddenly brightened, and he blurted out, "I understand."

"Empress dowager, what do you think of?" said Wei wanglian

"It's her who owes her honor to Zhang Qiling. Although the four words of Princess Xuanji are not enough to reach the twelve prefectures in the east city, they are almost the same." With that, Chen said, "where is Shenji camp?"

In the eyes of all the people, the door of the hall suddenly opened, and two figures, almost integrated with the night, stood outside the hall. They were not polite, but said coldly, "what's the matter with the Empress Dowager?"

Chen Shi folded his sleeves and stood up. He stepped forward and stared at the two indistinct figures. He said, "the AI family knows that Shenji camp only listens to the emperor. Although the AI family is the empress dowager, they have no right to order you to do things. But now the princess is taken away by Dongling people. It's hard to predict whether she will die or not. I hope you can save her." A little meal, she said: "I believe that this is also the meaning of the emperor."

Although she didn't see with her own eyes how terrible the people around Zhang Qiling were, she knew that unless the imperial guards came out, they would not be able to stop them at all. Instead, they would die in vain. However, when the rebellion in Jinling City was just ended, it was too risky to send all the imperial guards. Thinking about it, only Shenji camp could deal with it. The only trouble was that she had no right to command Shenji camp, Only try to be reasonable and hope to persuade them.

The two shadows didn't speak for a long time. Xia Yue was worried and knelt down to them. "I know Shenji camp has its own rules, but the master is kind to Dazhou. Please make an exception, please!" She kept kowtowing as she spoke, and she didn't know how many times she kowtowed until the voice of Empress Dowager Chen sighed, "get up, they've gone."
