Chapter 29 The Concubine in the Cold Palace
Early the next morning, the news that Concubine Zhao assassinated the emperor in the Qingyou Palace last night spread to every corner of the palace. Everyone in the palace was in an uproar because of Concubine Zhao's bold behavior. More people felt that Concubine Zhao had been locked in the cold palace for ten years and must have been crazy.
There are many people who want the emperor to die, but there are more people who are afraid of the emperor's death.
Everyone in the palace, from the empress dowager to the concubine to the eunuch palace maid, are afraid of something to happen to the Yin Emperor, because they know that if Yin Emperor lives for a day, they can live a good day. If Yin Emperor dies, the palace will immediately set off a new battle for the throne, and other countries that are eyeing on Southern Chu will also Take advantage of the situation to attack.
At that time, the worst people will probably be the current empress dowager and concubine.
Therefore, early in the morning, someone immediately came to question the bold Zhao Feixing.
This person is the empress dowager.
The empress dowager is not Yin Ren's biological mother. Yin Ren's biological mother became a victim in the cruel court struggle when he was three years old. Since then, Yin Ren has been handed over to Concubine Li to raise, who is now the Empress Dowager.
Although Princess Li is not Yin Ren's biological mother, she has raised Yin Ren since she was a child, and Princess Li has nothing in her life. An unborn concubine and a prince who has lost her mother have paid and lost in order to survive in this cruel palace and compete for the throne that everyone coveted. I'm afraid no one knows how much. Everyone knows how majestic the emperor and empress dowager are today, but no one remembers the hardships they have suffered.
The relationship between Lifei and Yin Ren is complex and profound. They depend on each other and regard each other as the only trusted relatives in the palace. They plan together and sacrifice everything in order to seize the throne, they have worked hard all the way to support each other to this day.
Therefore, the empress dowager will never allow anyone to hurt the emperor or threaten her. She can't tolerate anyone who dares to openly assassinate the emperor in the palace.
When the empress dowager got up early in the morning and learned from the little eunuch that the emperor was assassinated by a concubine who was beaten into the cold palace last night, she immediately got up and came to the Qingyou Palace to pleadge.
Behind the empress dowager, there is also Concubine Jin, the daughter of the current prime minister. The father of the concubine Jin is the empress dowager's own brother, so the concubine Jin is also the niece of the empress dowager. Now she is also the most powerful concubine in the palace. Sometimes, gaining power in the palace does not necessarily need the emperor's favor. With the favor of the empress dowager and the prime minister, she can also be the emperor. The most powerful woman in the palace.
"Are you Zhao Fei?"
The Empress Dowager sat in a chair and looked at Ban Jieyu standing in front of her. Her world-in-depth eyes stared at Ban Jieyu up and down.
"The Empress Dowager is the concubine."
Ban Jieyu stood in front of the Empress Dowager and answered respectfully.
"You are so bold! An abandoned concubine! How dare you assassinate the emperor! I think you are tired of living!"
The Empress Dowager suddenly slapped the table and shouted angrily.
The people standing in the room, from the concubine Jin to the maid of honor, couldn't help shaking when they heard the Empress Dowager shouting angrily.
But Tang Saier just smiled.
"Kneel down!"
The Empress Dowager looked at Tang Saier with extreme dissatisfaction in her tone.
Tang Saier knelt down gently, because she knew that she was not qualified to argue with the Empress Dowager, and she also knew that she had assassinated Yin Ren last night, and someone would definitely come to plead her guilt.
"say! Why did you assassinate the emperor? Who told you to do this? What's your purpose?"
The Empress Dowager glared at Tang Saier.
"To the empress dowager, no one instructed the envoy and concubine, and the concubine did not assassinate the emperor. Last night, the concubine played with the emperor, but the emperor accidentally stabbed himself."
Don Seer said calmly, as if it had nothing to do with her.
"You mean the emperor stabbed himself while playing with you? Do you think the family will believe such words?
The Empress Dowager looked at Tang Saier coldly and said.
"If the Empress Dowager doesn't believe it, you can ask the emperor. If the concubine assassinated the emperor, the emperor ordered someone to arrest the concubine last night. How can the concubine stay here safely at this moment?"
Tang Saier looked at the empress dowager without humility and said slowly.
"Auntie! This concubine Zhao is full of strangeness from head to toe. Think about it, she has been in the cold palace for ten years, but the emperor suddenly ordered her to sleep in the day before, and then she clearly stabbed the emperor last night, but the emperor did not punish her. Don't you think it's strange?
Concubine Jin looked at Tang Saier resentfully and said slowly word by word, as if she wanted Tang Saier to die immediately. She was happy.
"Auntie, according to my concubine, this concubine Zhao either shut her brain in the cold palace and is now a madman, or she doesn't know what tricks she has done, otherwise how dare she to assassinate the emperor."
Concubine Jin said viciously, and a cold light of resentment flashed from her eyes.
"This is reasonable."
The Empress Dowager nodded.
"Auntie, my concubine feels that whether this concubine Zhao is really crazy or fake crazy, she can't stay. It's too dangerous to leave such a dangerous person with the emperor. This person can't be left behind."
Concubine Jin stared at Tang Saier fiercely, as if she wanted to gouge out a piece of meat from her body.
"Not bad! How can such a dangerous person be the emperor's pillow!"
The Empress Dowager patted the table fiercely and said angrily.
"Empress Dowager! My concubine has not assassinated the emperor! If you don't believe it, you can ask the emperor!"
Don Seer said impatiently.
"Shut up! Do you dare to use the emperor to mourn your family? What are you? A little abandoned concubine, not to mention that you are a little concubine, even if you are the queen, it is as simple as pinching an ant to kill you. Do you dare to talk back to theai family?
The Empress Dowager was furious and looked at Tang Saier angrily.
"Hmm! Sure enough, there are no rules! No wonder the emperor annoyed her and put her in the cold palace ten years ago! I didn't expect that she hasn't changed at all in the past ten years! Now how dare you openly talk back to your aunt! It's really a disgrace to our royal family to stay in the palace with such a distanceless person!"
Jinfei raised a sneer at the corners of her mouth and looked coldly at Tang Saier.
"Come on, bring your family back to Cining Palace!"
The Empress Dowager took a cold look at Tang Saier, got up and walked out.
The five accompanying old matan immediately rushed up fiercely, grabbed Tang Saier's hair and dragged it out.
" Stop it! Who dares to touch her!"
Yang Dali, who was beside him, couldn't stand it any longer. He rushed over and pulled up with the five old sisters.
"What a bold! A eunuch dares to fight with the mourner! Do you two want to resist the decree? There is no rule at all! Beat the family hard.
The Empress Dowager turned around, looked at Yang Dali in surprise, and said fiercely.
Serred old M Mothers immediately threw Tang Saier aside and began to fight and fight on Yang Dali.
"Good! OK! Come and hit me! Anyway, I have rough skin and thick flesh! Just hit me!"
Yang Dali let those M Mothers pinch and beat him, as if nothing had happened.
"Hmm! What a loyal slave! Give a hard beating to the family! You all go up and beat your family!"
The Empress Dowager pointed to several little eunuchs and maids standing outside the door and said angrily.
Several eunuchs and maids who had been stunned immediately rushed up, and everyone surrounded Yang Dali and punched and kicked them.
And Yang Dali protected his head and squatted down, allowing everyone to punch him.
"Aunt, I think this eunuch seems to be very strong, and he doesn't seem to hurt much when hitting him."
Concubine Jin looked at Yang Dali in a blankly and said.
"When was there such a strong eunuch in the palace? Why did the mourner never know?"
The Empress Dowager looked doubtfully at Yang Dali, who squatted there and let everyone beat and scold.
"Auntie, it's not a way to consume like this. I think it's better to take them to Cining Palace first and interrogate them in severe punishment!"
Concubine Jin looked viciously at Tang Saier who fell to the ground and said.
"Okay, stop and take the two of them back to Cining Palace."
The Empress Dowager said slowly, and everyone immediately stopped, rushed up and pulled Tang Saier out.
"If you want to beat me, you can beat me. If you want to scold me, you can scold me. My master will never go with you."
Yang Dali rushed over, raised his hand and pushed several eunuchs away, protecting Tang Saier tightly behind him.
"Reverse...Reverse..."
Concubine Jin pointed to Yang Dali in horror and said tremblingly.
"Although this eunuch doesn't know the rules, he is loyal to his master. It is rare to have such a loyal servant in the palace..."
The Empress Dowager looked at Yang Dali and said thoughtfully.
"If this person can be used by the emperor... he must be a good servant loyal to protect the Lord... Although this man is strong... Unfortunately, he is a eunuch..."
The Empress Dowager looked at Yang Dali and muttered.
" Stop."
The Empress Dowager waved her hand to the people surrounding Yang Dali's fists and kicks. Everyone was also exhausted at this moment. They all gasped and stood aside to rest.
"I'm sorry to ask you, what's your name?"
The Empress Dowager smiled and said to Yang Dali.
"I... my name is Yang Dali! What are you going to do!"
Yang Dali tightly protected Tang Saier behind him and looked at the Empress Dowager nervously.
"Aijia asks you again, why do you work so hard to protect your master? She is just an abandoned concubine. With such a master, you can't even have enough to eat. Why don't you let Aijia help you find another master so that you can have enough food? What do you think?"
The Empress Dowager looked at Yang Dali and asked slowly.
"I don't! I only follow my master!"
Yang Dali shouted urgently.
"Why? You have a good day, but you have to follow such a useless master?"
The Empress Dowager asked strangely.
"To tell the Empress Dowager, my master and I have been dependent on each other for ten years in the cold palace. How can the relationship between master and servant be cut off so easily? Can the joys and sorrows of this be understood by outsiders?"
Yang Dali said loudly.
"Relying for life..."
The Empress Dowager muttered, looking in a trance, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, as if she remembered the days when she and the emperor depended on each other.
"Let's go back to Cining Palace."
The Empress Dowager took a fixed look at Tang Saier and Yang Dali, turned around and left. Everyone quickly followed the Empress Dowager and left the Qingyou Palace. Only the two people left stood in the messy Qingyou Palace in a mess.
