451 Assassination
Speaking of this, Empress Zheng is really a pitiful person. She is not called a lonely person, but she is no different from a lonely person.
I thought that Empress Zheng was trapped in Xiye, but I was afraid that no one would come to pick her up. Besides, she had not received the approval from the palace this time and entered the palace. However, she did not expect that when she arrived at the palace gate, someone had already taken a sedan chair and she could recognize the person who came to pick her up.
"Eunuch Xiaojiang, why do you come and pick you up?" This Eunuch Xiaojiang is Wei Yan's apprentice. The one who calls Wei Yan the master was in Zichen Hall, that is, His Majesty.
The old man Xiao Jiang shook the whisk in his hand, then hit Qian'er and said with a smile, "Where is the prince's wife? I can only serve a noble person like you. It is a blessing for a slave. Besides, this is all told by His Majesty. Mrs. Prince, don't be polite to me, otherwise, the slave will probably have a life-long life."
Those eunuchs who could be so handsome in front of their master were not good at speaking. Pei Jinruo heard this and bowed, and then followed the mercy and entered the sedan chair with a short body.
The sedan chair swayed along the clamping path, crossed the middle line, and headed to the west.
Pei Jinruo lifted up the curtain and looked out. Although the red walls and green tiles were still the same, they gradually became dilapidated and mottled. Xiye had never been there, but since it was the cold palace, it would be remote.
After about two quarters of an hour, the sedan chair slowly stopped and landed in front of a palace gate.
Green Branch helped Pei Jinruo out of the sedan chair, raised his head, and saw that the palace gate ahead was locked, with four imperial guards guarding the palace gate.
Master Xiao Jiang went forward and showed off a token. The imperial guards bowed with fists.
"According to your order, I will send Mrs. Jing'an Hou Shizi to visit the Empress."
With the token and the escort of the father-in-law Xiao Jiang himself, these imperial guards naturally did not dare to stop them. However, they were a little uncomfortable with their expressions. After looking at each other for a moment, one of them said, "Eunuch Xiao Jiang, just now, the imperial concubine went in to visit the queen, but she had not come out yet."
Imperial Concubine Pei Jinruo and Xiao Jiang's father-in-law were both stunned and looked at each other.
The imperial concubine is now in charge of the phoenix seal, so she naturally comes and goes freely in the harem.
But I don’t know why she came to Xiye at this time.
Pei Jinruo knew that the Imperial Concubine was very similar to the son of Xiao Qi, at least on the surface they were very pure but never so beautiful.
Who knew that as soon as I walked into the palace gate, I heard a loud crying sound in the palace.
And there was not a single person outside the hall.
Eunuch Xiaojiang and Pei Jinruo couldn't help but stop, looked at each other, and closed their eyebrows at the same time. Pei Jinruo suddenly turned his head to look at Eunuch Xiaojiang. Eunuch Xiaojiang understood it and withdrew quickly.
Pei Jinruo took a deep breath and took another step. At this time, he was as calm as usual.
The closer the hall, the louder the noise. As soon as I walked to the stone steps, I heard a sharp voice shouting, "Help! Help! The Imperial Concubine, the Imperial Concubine assassinated the Empress..."
"Come here! Hold her down for me! Block her mouth and see that she is talking nonsense!" The one who was angry behind was the imperial concubine.
The next moment, a figure could not catch up and almost fell out of the curtain. However, she didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly got up and continued to run.
The curtain was lifted up again, and three or four people squeezed out, including eunuchs and palace maids. Looking at the fierce and evil appearance, they all grabbed the man who had pounced out earlier.
"Aunt Suying?" There was no way to avoid it. In the flash of lightning, Pei Jinruo was already in a state of mind, but she shouted in surprise.
It was this sound like a thunder sound on the ground, causing everyone to stagnate.
The man was in a mess earlier, and his dress was covered in dust and blood. He had a messy hair and raised his eyes in a hurry. Isn’t it Su Ying?
Seeing her, Su Ying's face was filled with joy, as if she had seen a life-saving straw, she rushed towards Pei Jinruo, and ran, shouting, "Madam Prince, hurry up! Save the Empress! The Imperial Concubine... The Imperial Concubine assassinated the Empress and killed the slave to silence the silence!"
Pei Jinruo's appearance was completely unexpected, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were chasing Su Ying were stunned.
After hearing Su Ying's shouting, the people came to their senses and gritted their teeth and said ruthlessly, "What nonsense is it, I can't tear your mouth apart." Then they rushed over again.
"Stop!" One after another, one shouted, one from Pei Jinruo's mouth, and another came from the hall. The imperial concubine was turning out from the hall. When she saw Pei Jinruo, she seemed a little surprised, but she was calm. "It was Shishi's wife. Why did she come to the palace today? She made a special trip to visit the Queen?"
Pei Jinruo stepped forward, squatted and curled her face, "My wife has seen the Imperial Concubine." After getting up, she said anxiously, "Just Suying said just now, the Empress is injured?"
The imperial concubine flashed a few times, "Yes! She was injured accidentally, Chenxiang, why are she still standing there? Why don't you go to the imperial doctor quickly?"
The palace maid next to her seemed to wake up from a dream, responded quickly to "Yes" and walked away quickly.
The imperial concubine smiled and stepped forward, "I was panicked just now, but I was negligent. Su Ying seemed to be scared and a little confused. I looked at it and it would be better to take her down, so don't let her hurt you accidentally."
Su Ying knelt beside Pei Jinruo. When she heard this, she subconsciously leaned against Pei Jinruo and said in a hurry, "Madam, the imperial concubine wants to kill me and silence me. You must save me and save the empress."
"My wife at once..." the imperial concubine called out with a smile.
Pei Jinruo bowed his knees and said, "Empress, my wife doesn't know what happened. However, since the Empress is injured, the most important thing now is the Queen's safety."
The imperial concubine's expression turned cold, "I just said that this servant was unconscious, so I should take her down first so as not to hurt you again."
The word "典" is used wonderfully. Pei Jinruo raised the corners of her mouth, smiled, and stopped talking.
This silence, in the eyes of the imperial concubine, is naturally a different meaning.
A proud light flashed in her eyes very quickly. The imperial concubine glanced left and right. The eunuch and palace maid beside her seemed to have received the order and came forward immediately and wanted to hold Su Ying.
Su Ying turned pale in panic, subconsciously dodged and screamed.
At this moment, the closed palace gate behind him suddenly opened, and a team of imperial guards, carrying weapons, rushed in quickly, and surrounded the palace in a blink of an eye.
The imperial concubine's face changed in surprise and suddenly turned her head to look at Pei Jinruo.
The latter still looked calm and calm, unstoppable and unstoppable.
"The Imperial Concubine, just now, was sent by Eunuch Xiaojiang. These imperial guards should have been called by Eunuch Xiaojiang. As for Eunuch Xiaojiang, I am afraid I will report back to Your Majesty. After all, the Queen's assassination is quite a matter of this."
When Pei Jinruo said a word, the imperial concubine's face became even ugly. However, after so many years, she has been at a high position and has experienced calmness even if Mount Tai collapsed before, and she can remain calm. She only looked at Pei Jinruo's eyes, but she was a bit sinister.
