Live up to the country

In Qingning Palace, Duanmu Yunji and Liu Huo sat with serious expressions, listening to Eunuch Tong's report.

"Why didn't you kill her?" Duanmu Yunji slammed the table angrily after hearing Eunuch Tong's words.

Eunuch Tong stared at Liu Huo, and replied in a low voice: "The king has an order, don't kill her, otherwise the slave won't be defeated by those girls."

Duanmu Yunji looked at Liu Huo with a frown and asked, "Huo'er, why did you keep that bitch?"

"Mother, the crown prince hid Dongling princess privately, and now, in the name of offering sacrifices to his concubine, he met the princess privately and killed her, would there still be a show?" Liu Huo's mouth curled up slightly, and there was a trace of gloom on his face. smile.

"If you kill her and bring the body back to the emperor to see, can't you be convicted of the same crime?" Duanmu Yunji asked.

Liu Huo sneered: "That's all, the queen mother is sure that she can bring down the crown prince? Doesn't the queen mother know that the father favors the prince? At worst, the father just punishes the prince with a few words, and the scene is over, but if you keep her, the fun will come It's behind."

Duanmu Yunji thought for a moment, and said, "You want them to fight with each other?"

"The queen mother finally understands." Liu Huo narrowed his slender eyes and nodded with a sinister smile.

"If your father sees that woman, he will definitely be desperate, and the prince is full of blood, and he will not give up the woman he likes. In this way, there will be a good show!" Duanmu Yunji smiled and nodded slightly.

"It's not too late, the queen mother will report to the emperor now, and let the emperor go to the Taoist temple to pick up the princess back to the palace." Liu Huo said.

"Okay!" Duanmu Yunji stood up, Eunuch Tong hurriedly bent down to support her arm, and walked out of Qingning Palace with her, surrounded by court ladies and eunuchs who were waiting neatly outside, went to Ruoxi Palace in a mighty manner.

"The empress is here—"

The eunuch reported that in Ruoxi Hall, Liu Hongjing who was reclining on a soft couch reading a book suddenly frowned.

"The courtiers and concubines see the emperor." Duanmu Yunji came into the palace and sent all the maids and eunuchs out.

"What's the matter?" Liu Hongjing asked coldly.

"Big event." Duanmu Yunji's tone was also cold.

Liu Hongjing looked back at her, waiting for her to say more.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that when Concubine Xi was dying, you dripped blood between her eyebrows?" Duanmu Yunji walked to the wall and looked at the portrait of Concubine Xi hanging on the wall with a meaningful smile.

Following her gaze, Liu Hongjing also looked at the person on the painting, and said, "Say it, don't go around the bush."

"Has the imperial concubine been reincarnated?" Duanmu Yunji turned her head and looked at Liu Hongjing mockingly.

"Why did you come here today?" Liu Hongjing's face was full of uncontrollable anger.

Duanmu Yunji looked at him, laughed "haha" twice, then sat down, poured a cup of tea by herself, took a sip slowly, and said: "The concubine came today to tell the emperor a good news, sister The woman with the cinnabar in the middle had almost reached the emperor's side, but there was a twists and turns in the middle, and the woman was hidden by the prince."

Liu Hongjing got up from the couch, walked to her side, frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Duanmu Yunji looked up at him, and said with a smile: "It's ridiculous that the emperor misses the noble concubine day and night, but when the noble concubine arrives by his side, he doesn't feel it, and almost sent someone to kill her. If it wasn't for the crown prince having an affair with her, he secretly transferred her. Concubine Xi may suffer from reincarnation again, hahaha."

"Please explain clearly, what's going on?" Liu Hongjing reached out and grabbed Duanmu Yunji's collar.

"The princess of Dongling was born with a cinnabar mole, and she was as beautiful as a fairy. She was originally born in the mountains of Dongling, but she was selected as a beautiful girl and sent to the emperor from a long way. The romance?" Duanmu Yunji said.

"She has a cinnabar mole? Why didn't the Taifu tell me?" Liu Hongjing's hands trembled slightly.

"Of course the Taifu is doing it for the crown prince. He must have known about the affair between the crown prince and Princess Dongling. He was afraid that the prince would miss his future, so he used the emperor's hand to kill the princess. It's over." Duanmu Yunji sneered.

"Don't keep telling me that she has an affair with the prince, don't think that I don't know that you want to take the opportunity to frame the prince!" Liu Hongjing stared at Duanmu Yunji and shouted sharply.

"Hmph, the emperor will know if there is any affair in the future. It doesn't matter if the courtiers don't say anything, the emperor should go to the Sanqing Taoist temple early to welcome the reincarnated princess of the noble concubine Xi back to the palace. If she goes late, she might elope with the prince." Duanmu Yunji had a mocking face.

Liu Hongjing let go of her, turned around and walked out in big strides, at the same time instructing the steward beside him to send the Grand Tutor into the palace.

The old matriarch was rushed into the palace by the emperor, not knowing what was going on in his heart, he walked tremblingly into the Hall of Qinzheng with a dragon-headed crutch, and seeing the emperor's unkind look, he asked in trepidation: "Your Majesty, you called the old minister into the palace urgently, and you don't know why?" ?”

"Teacher, why did you lie to me?" Liu Hongjing asked the Tutor with a sullen face and thoughtlessly.

"I'm terrified, when will I dare to lie to the emperor?" The Taifu was so frightened that he was about to kneel down. Liu Hongjing had no choice but to support him, and said, "There is a cinnabar mole between the eyebrows of Dongling Princess, why didn't you tell the truth?" Report to me?"

The Taifu was stunned when the emperor asked about the princess of Dongling, he thought to himself, I don't know who leaked the secret, but now that the princess has died, the bones have already been buried, only death will not admit it. "Don't listen to slander, Your Majesty, there is no such thing."

"Bold! You are still deceiving me!" Liu Hongjing's face was full of anger.

Taifu looked at the emperor, guessing what happened.

"Is there any cinnabar mole? I don't want you to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor when you are too old!" Liu Hongjing looked serious, staring at the old lady with tiger eyes.

"Your Majesty! Please understand the loyalty of the old minister! The princess of Dongling does have a cinnabar mole. Qiyu wanted to use this to manipulate the emperor, so he gave her the heart-eating poison. Your majesty, if the old minister does not kill her She, the future of Xiling is unimaginable! The beauty has always wronged the country, Zhou is because of Daji, Wu is Xi Shi, I don't want Xiling to be destroyed because of her!" The Tai Tuo said, tearing up and down on the ground.

Liu Hongjing looked at him and pondered for a moment, then said: "It is said that the princess is not dead."

"She's not dead? Impossible, I have sent someone to examine the body, there can be no mistake!" Tai Tu was shocked and looked up at the emperor.

"It is said that the princess is currently hiding in the Taoist temple of Sanqing. I want to go to Sanqing temple to see what happened. I hope that the princess will not make any mistakes before I arrive at Sanqing temple. Otherwise, I will not care about the kindness of the monarch and ministers!" Liu Hongjingyi After finishing the words, he walked out quickly with a flick of his sleeves.

The Grand Tutor collapsed on the ground, weeping bitterly, beating his chest and sighing: "Oh my injustice! Does Xilinghe deserve this hardship? No, even if the old man fights hard and is exterminated by the nine clans, he will never let that woman enter the palace!"
