Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 99 Nowhere to Run

"I would like to report to Concubine De, after your majesty left the court, he went... went..."

"Don't say it anymore!"

Concubine De sternly stopped the maid, and knocked down the white jade chessboard in front of her with a wave.The chessboard split in two, black and white chess pieces scattered all over the floor.

Emperor Yongde himself said yesterday that he would come to play chess with her.She was full of joy, starting to prepare from early in the morning, dressing up carefully.As a result, Emperor Yongde let her pigeons go again, and she would not be angry if she changed them.

Besides, this happened not once or twice.

Concubine De got up and walked outside the gazebo, looking at the sky above her head.

The sky was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the sky was lit up with crooked electric lights from time to time, and the air felt damp and stuffy.Even though it was noon, it bored her.

"Has your Majesty gone to Concubine Xian?" Concubine De suppressed the anger in her heart and kept her tone calm.

"Going back to Concubine De, Concubine Xian has learned a new dance, Your Majesty, please move to the Changchun Palace to enjoy it."

Sure enough, he guessed right, His Majesty went to look for that vixen again.

The virtuous concubine Mei Dai has outstanding looks and is good at singing and dancing.She is the youngest daughter of Xiliang Wang Meicheng, who entered the palace at the age of 16, and it has been less than two years now.

As the only king with a different surname in the Great Yan Dynasty, the ancestors of the Xiliang king relied on their military exploits to become kings and hereditary fiefdoms.In Mei Cheng's generation, women were sent to the palace as concubines.At that time, Empress Pei of the main palace was well governed, and all the concubines lived in peace, so no one paid attention to this unknown concubine.

After Empress Pei passed away, Concubine De thought that she could be favored by Emperor Yongde alone, and sooner or later she would be in charge of Fengqi Palace.Unexpectedly, the concubine Xian suddenly burst out from the stab, and defeated all the concubines by virtue of her youth and beauty, and came from behind.

Although Concubine De was unwilling, she was already a woman over thirty years old, no matter how she took care of her, she was always at a disadvantage.

Speaking of it, this Mei Dai hides really deeply.When Empress Pei was here, she was dignified and quiet, elegant and virtuous, and she had nothing to do with the world.As soon as Empress Pei died, she changed into another person, and she was able to fascinate Emperor Yongde and obeyed his words.

Concubine De gritted her teeth, and ordered: "Paijia, go to Changchun Palace."

She doesn't have the ability of Queen Pei, so she can't control Emperor Yongde's pampering that vixen.But his own son is in the court to assist the government. If there is no accident, he will be established as the heir apparent sooner or later.At that time, her mother will be more expensive than her son, so it won't be too late to vent her anger again.

Now she has to let Mei Dai know, don't think that she is favored by His Majesty, and just try to ride on her head.

At the gate of Changchun Palace, there was a row of inner guards blocking the way.The accompanying maid just ordered someone to report.The leading guard came forward and saluted outside the sedan chair: "Your Majesty has an order, don't disturb him to enjoy the dance."

Concubine De was furious, she lifted the curtain, pointed at the visitor and said:
"Wu Mingzi, you are so bold that you dare to stop me?"

The commander of the guards, Wu Mingzi, carefully accompanied the smiling face, bowed and said, "Empress Defei, even if the villain has a thousand guts, I will not dare to stop you. It is His Majesty's order, and the villain is also acting according to the order. Please don't blame me .”

Concubine De's face was uncertain, she sat back in the sedan chair, listened to the faint sound of music playing from Changchun Palace, slowed down her voice, and said:
"Since that's the case, I'd better go back first."

After seeing Concubine De's car away, Wu Mingzi reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The second prince is the assistant to the government at the right time, and is the son of Concubine De.Maybe one day Emperor Yongde will seal the crown prince as soon as he is happy.Among the concubines and concubines in the harem, Concubine De is the one who must never be offended.

At this time, the most difficult thing is those who are caught in the middle.

Before he could turn around, another eunuch hurried over and handed him a roll of papers, saying, "Commander Wu, please send the papers to His Majesty as an urgent document six hundred miles away from the northwest border."

"But His Majesty has an order, don't disturb..."

"It's the news of the abolished prince, the news of the abolished prince," the eunuch lowered his voice, "Hasn't Your Majesty been waiting for this all along?"

Surprised, Wu Mingzi quickly took the documents, bid farewell to the eunuch, and hurried into Changchun Palace.

In the front hall, the piano is played and the fragrance is bursting. All the musicians are lined up on both sides. Among them is a young woman in colorful clothes dancing. Emperor Yongde is sitting on the throne, shaking his head and beating the beat, looking happy.

Wu Mingzi passed through the golden-armored guards guarding the door, entered the hall, and knelt down under the jade steps.Before opening his mouth, Emperor Yongde's displeased voice sounded from above:

"If there is a memorial, I will review it later."

"Your Majesty, it's the deposed prince." Wu Mingzi reminded in a low voice.

Emperor Yongde's complexion changed, he stood up, and waved his sleeves to the audience.

All the musicians immediately stopped playing, rolled up their instruments, and retreated from the hall like a storm.The concubine Mei Dai, who was dancing in the audience, also stopped.

"Your Majesty has state affairs to deal with, and my concubine will leave for the time being." Xianfei Mei Dai finished speaking and was about to leave.

"My concubine doesn't have to avoid it, come to my side."

At this time, in the huge front hall, there were only three people, Emperor Yongde, Wu Mingzi, and the concubine Mei Dai.Emperor Yongde asked Concubine Xian to sit beside him, took the document submitted by Wu Mingzi, opened it and read a few lines, and suddenly sneered.

"This Xiao Zhuo originally hid outside the pass... Pingyanghou's wife unexpectedly brought her daughter to join him, and there are several generals and hundreds of soldiers... Could it be that he wants to gather a crowd to rebel?"

This document came from the border guard, and it was sent to the capital in six hundred li in an expedited manner.

The border guards also knew about the news that the Xirong Ten Thousand Team attacked Xiaogang Village.Because they didn't know the enemy's target, the border sent spies to scout Xirong's movements, and accidentally learned the news of Dayan's army in Xiaogang Village.

After further investigation, it was found that the commander of the army was the deposed prince Xiao Zhuo.He also knew that the target of Xirong's attack was Xiliang Wang Meicheng, but first he had to pass Xiao Zhuo's hurdle.The general did not dare to neglect, and immediately issued a letter to inform.

Wu Mingzi stood at the bottom of the steps, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, I would like to go outside the pass to kill the deposed prince."

"You still want to go?" Emperor Yongde looked up at him and sneered, "If Concubine Xian hadn't interceded for you last time, I would have chopped off your head."

Wu Mingzi was stunned for a moment, and quickly knocked his head on the ground like garlic:
"This humble minister deserves to die. Fortunately, His Majesty has graciously spared his life. I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty..."

When he searched for Xiao Zhuo's whereabouts in Liangzhou, he was like a headless chicken.Prince Qi's son Xiao Beiheng met him and made a deal with him: Xiao Beiheng would protect his life, and he would provide news to Xiao Beiheng in private.

The advice Xiao Beiheng gave him was to find a concubine Xian to save his life.

Emperor Yongde obeyed Concubine Xian's words, as long as he could please Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian said a few words, she would be fine.

When he returned to the capital, he made up his mind to privately present a set of priceless jade articles to Concubine Xian, and then tremblingly went to see Emperor Yongde.Under the persuasion of the concubine Xian, Emperor Yongde spared his life and didn't even lose his official position.

"Okay, don't disturb my interest here," Emperor Yongde interrupted his rambling, "Now Xiao Zhuo has an army, even if you lead the guards to go, it will be useless. He is rebellious now... Biography The decree is to order the border guards to send [-] troops to wipe out the traitor Xiao Zhuo."

Wu Mingzi was terrified when he heard that.

Emperor Yongde really drove them all to death.He would rather kill Xiao Zhuo than Xi Rong who invaded.

In this way, in front of Xiao Zhuo, a team of [-] people from Xirong attacked, and behind him, [-] Yan troops strangled him.

There is really no escape.
