043 A thorn in the eye
"Why do you have to worry? There is also a way to escape from the cottage on that day, not to mention that today it is just a dark forest? Anyway, you promised not to tell anyone about this matter, do you understand? This is an opportunity to prove my innocence.
"But..."
After thinking for a long time, Hongqi finally couldn't calm down. She looked up at her and said to her repeatedly, "Princess, why do you have to? Since you don't want to please the emperor, and you don't want the emperor to have blue eyes on you. Why do you have to take this risk for the explanation?
Murong Qingluo smiled slowly and said, "The reason why I'm doing this is not for myself. You won't understand. In short, you may know it in the future. You go out first. I want to take a break first. You don't have to worry about anything else.
After hearing this, Hongqi sighed, but she had no choice but to go out.
When she went out, only Murong Qinglu was left in the room.
After Murong Qinglu's meditation for a moment, there was already a deployment in his heart.
At night, she quietly changed into a night coat and went out of the palace while no one was paying attention.
She followed the map and quickly came to the Black Forest.
Looking in from the outside of the black forest is really gloomy, and the wind is blowing, which makes people shudder all over.
She hesitated a little and finally walked in.
Not long after she walked in, she felt that the atmosphere inside was really terrible.
There was a very strange sound from it. It sounded like a gust of gloomy wind and a wailing, but she was not afraid at all.
However, at this time, she suddenly felt a gust of wind coming straight to her forehead.
"Who!"
She shouted and turned around, and something fell in front of her...
After Murong Qinglu left the palace and entered the Black Forest, Hongqi was waiting for her in the palace. She had always felt a little panicked, but she didn't know what to do.
After meditating for a long time, she always felt that the legend about the Black Forest was too horrible. If Murong Qinglu has something to do, I'm afraid that the people who are in the palace will be punished, not to mention that she is Murong Qinglu's personal maid of honor.
In addition, Murong Qinglu rescued her from the cottage, and she was indeed worried about her, so after much thought, she decided to see the emperor.
At this moment, the emperor was reviewing the memorial in the south study, and he felt boring. Suddenly, he heard someone say, "Hongyan, please see me."
He thought for a long time before asking, "Which red silk is it?"
The eunuch said repeatedly, "It's the red silk in Murong's palace."
It turned out to be her. Did Murong Qinglu want to see me?
I suddenly had this idea in my heart, and I felt a little complacent and a sense of victory.
He waved his hand and said, "Come on, pass her in."
"Yes." At that moment, someone agreed, and soon someone passed the red silk in.
Huangfu Shang glanced at her sideways, and his eyes were full of pride. He smiled slowly and said, "I don't know what's wrong with you coming here. Did Madam Murong send you here?"
"It's not the princess who sent the maidservant, but the maidservant herself. Your Majesty, please help our princess.
With that, she knelt down to the emperor.
When the emperor saw her kneeling down, he felt very surprised. He couldn't help frown and said, "What the hell is going on? Do you have something to say slowly? Is it because the poison on her body has attacked again? Wasn't it ready last time?"
"It's not a poison attack on her body, but she went to the Black Forest."
"Black Forest, do you mean the Black Forest, the most taboo place in our wilderness country? What's going on?"
Huangfu Shangyin was suddenly furious. The Black Forest is a taboo place for the royal family, and no one can step into it.
If anyone steps into the forbidden area, it is to seek his own death.
Is this woman so uninteresting?
What's the purpose of her going there?
So his face suddenly changed, and he looked at the red silk and said coldly, "What's going on? You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise I won't let you go so easily."
"Yes. To the emperor, here's the thing..."
So, Hongyan talked about the cause and effect of the matter word by word.
After listening to it, the emperor quickly said, "Are you telling true or false?"
"Your Majesty, every word I said is the truth. There is no lie. The princess really went to the Black Forest to find Bai Lingzhi."
It turned out that she had a guilty conscience. After hurting others, she felt uneasy, so she went to find Bai Lingzhi. In this case, let her go, hum.
He was very unhungry.
Murong Qingluo was so noble and proud on the surface, as if he had no quarrel with the world, but in fact, he actually poisoned his favorite explanation.
Since she has done it, she wants to remedy it, so let her go.
Thinking so in his heart, he waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Go back and wait for her first."
"Your Majesty, please help the princess. It's really dangerous for the princess to go alone."
So she told the emperor the news from the eunuch.
Huangfu Shangyin also felt a little scared after listening to it and wanted not to save her.
If you don't save her, I'm afraid she will be in danger. But if she was saved, wouldn't it have contributed to her harmful thoughts?
While hesitating, he suddenly heard the eunuch coming to report that someone was asking for a meeting.
He couldn't help but be a little unhappy and said, "Who on earth came to see me again today?"
"The emperor is the maid next to Xie Yu Niang."
"Is it the maid around Xie Yu? Let her in as soon as possible. Red silk, you go down first."
Huangfu Shangyin said and waved his hand to let the red silk go down.
Although Hongqi is not in his heart, he is helpless.
Before leaving, he looked at the emperor with a sad face and saw that the emperor had no intention at all.
Knowing that the emperor's heart is only Xie Yu, and there is no other way to get to this point.
She had to salute and leave.
After she left, Huangfu Shangyin asked, "What's going on in Jieyu?"
"Your Majesty, I don't feel well. Please come and visit me."
With that, she knelt down and pleaded with Huangfu Shangyin.
Huangfu Shangyin nodded and said, "Well, I'm also worried about the poison on Xie Yu's body. In this case, I'll accompany you."
He stood up and was ready to follow Ling Li.
Who knew that at this time, another eunuch came in and reported that the evergreen king had a national event to see.
He couldn't help but be angry and thought, Evergreen King, Evergreen King, why did you appear at this time?
Even if I am a little dissatisfied, I can't help it.
Everyone knows that the Evergreen King has always been very popular in the court, and at this time, he came to himself to discuss national affairs. He absolutely can't give people the impression that he has just ascended the throne.
So he glanced at Ling Li and said to her, "You go back first. Just tell Xie Yu Niang that I have something to do tonight. I'm afraid I can't go. Let her have a good rest. I'll see her tomorrow."
"Yes." Ling Li didn't dare to say more, so she turned around and left.
After she left, the Evergreen King came in.
Seeing the Evergreen King, he couldn't help frowning and said to the Evergreen King Fu Yueshan, "Evergreen King, what's the matter with you hurrying to see me?"
The evergreen king saluted him and said, "Your Majesty, the assassin who assassinated the emperor that day has been caught."
"Oh? Have you asked who it is?"
"I asked several times, but the other party refused to say anything. In the end, he got nothing from the torture. He actually committed suicide by taking poison."
"Suicide by taking poison? Humph, in fact, you don't need to ask. I also know who wants to deal with me. Who else is there besides the pilgrim king?
