Chapter 235

Everyone took a step forward excitedly, listening to the final result.

"Wu Zhaoyi's self-protection of his brothers is really immoral. According to my will, the Jiaofang Palace is closed! Everyone in the palace is not allowed to go out or visit unless the imperial edict is issued; the two brothers Wu Zhong and Wu Xin are imprisoned in the inner prison, waiting for His Royal Highness Xue Wang After returning to Chang'an City from the border gate, let him try and decide the case, and leave the court!" After saying this, no matter how the ministers on the ground shouted that His Majesty is wise, he flicked his long sleeves and turned away.

Gao Lishi first glanced at Li Longji's back, then looked at Chang Xi, who was kneeling and bowed his head silently, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is a holy king through the ages, and punishments do not avoid relatives. Today Wu Zhaoyi and the brothers of the Wu family all He has received the punishment he deserved, and Lord Zheng Xian's grievances have been cleared away, which shows His Majesty's wisdom, please don't talk about it, let's leave now!"

Then everyone clapped their crowns to celebrate, cast contemptuous looks at the kneeling woman, and then dispersed one by one.

Wu Zhong and Wu Xin were also dragged by the guards, shouting for sister to save me, and were driven out of the inner hall all the way.

In the entire Hanyuan Hall, only Chang Xi was kneeling.

"Zhaoyi, please get up! This old slave will send you back to Jiaofang Hall!" Gao Lishi stretched out a hand and helped Chang Xi up.

"Thank you!" Chang Xi, who had been kneeling for too long, had half numb legs, but no matter how sore and numb her legs were, it couldn't compare to the despair in her heart!

Li Longji once again abandoned her in disregard, and left like this, leaving her alone to face all the misery!After all, did he choose to doubt, choose to believe the rumors about her, Ji Sichen?In his mind, Jiangshan Sheji is more important!It's just that Chang Xi didn't know why he didn't abolish his position, wouldn't it be more stable for the ministers?Just being grounded, those ministers went so happily?

I don't want to think about these anymore!Her heart was so painful that she lost consciousness, and Chang Xi, who was devastated, staggered out of the palace door with Gao Lishi's support. Mei'er waited for a long time, when she saw her pale face being helped out, Startled, he asked, "How is it going?"

Chang Xi smiled miserably.

"Who are you? Do you want to kill yourself? Dare to forcibly break into the Jiaofang Hall?!" Little Zhao Zi, who was resting by the door, stood up immediately when he saw dozens of armored guards entering the door.

Cao Ye's Naji and Wei'er were both admiring the flowers in the courtyard. Seeing this group of fierce and hard-wearing guards, they all shrank away in fright, not knowing what happened.

When the first person came out, Xiao Zhao Zi saw that it was General Hengyue who was beside His Majesty, and he felt relieved, "What is General going to do?"

Heng Yue hesitated slightly, "By His Majesty's order, Shangguan Cairen and Caoye Naji are asked to move to another place!"

"Move to another place?!" The two were taken aback. What does this mean?Where to move?Leng Gong?
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to stay in Jiaofang Palace!" Naji Cao Ye looked at Heng Yue in horror and said loudly.

Heng Yue clasped his fists together, "Please Shangguan Cairen and Cao Ye Naji to move to the Empress's Kunde Palace, this is His Majesty's order!"

This time, the two of them were even more suspicious. It happened to be a good place to live in the Jiaofang Palace, so why did they move to the Queen's place?Just when she was at a loss, Chang Xi, with the support of Gao Lishi and Meier, entered the palace gate with a pale face.

"Sister! They asked me to go to the empress with Caoye Naji, and they said it was His Majesty's intention!" Wei'er anxiously grabbed Chang Xi's sleeve, almost crying.

Chang Xi calmed down, trying to show herself a smile, but unfortunately the smile was still so stiff, "It's fine to go to the queen, and come back in a few days!"

"Sister?" Wei'er and Cao Yena Ji looked at Chang Xi in confusion.

Heng Yue urged, "Two concubines, please drive!"

Wei'er and Caoye Naji had no choice but to go back to their dormitory to sort out their belongings, but they didn't know how long they would be staying here, would they have to move everything?
"The two concubines, please bring all your belongings and subordinates, and return to the Kunde Palace with this old slave." Aunt Youlan led several guards into the Jiaofang Palace leisurely.

It seems that the news spread really fast!A sneer appeared on the corner of Chang Xi's mouth.

"Take them all away?" Wei'er was stunned.

You Lan coughed lightly, "The palace will be closed soon, and no one will be allowed to enter for a while, so I'd better ask the two concubines to move all the things away, anyway, the empress's place is big enough! "

"What do you mean no one is allowed to come in for a while?" Wei'er was worried about Chang Xi's safety and kept asking.

The corner of Aunt Youlan's mouth raised a disdainful arc. Ever since Chang Xi no longer attached herself to the Queen, this You Lan hated Chang Xi to the bone. Seeing her defeat at this moment, she felt very happy, "This old slave is so good with the two palaces. Let me tell you! In the previous dynasty, a palace official made a mistake, and the first emperor ordered the palace to be closed, and it was only opened after 50 years. Of course, that palace staff is already bone-deep!" After finishing speaking, she showed a piercing smile.

"What!" Wei'er and Caoye Naji all exclaimed.

Chang Xi's body also swayed, if it wasn't for You Lan's explanation, she still didn't quite understand the meaning of sealing the palace, she thought it was just grounding, how could she know that sealing the palace is such a severe punishment!No wonder those ministers are so happy!
After thinking about it, my throat was salty, and a mouthful of blood almost spewed out, Li Longji, your heart is too cruel!

"Let's go! If you don't go, you won't be able to go if you want to!" You Lan threatened the two women in front of her.

Wei'er and Caoye Naji both burst into tears, looking back at Chang Xi reluctantly, but they also left the Jiaofang Hall helplessly under the watchful eyes of You Lan.

Only Chang Xi and her palace servants are left in the huge palace, should they also be sealed here?

Aunt Youlan took a step forward, "The Empress ordered to transfer all the maids in the Jiaofang Palace and hand them over to the inner prison for questioning!"

Chang Xi heaved a sigh of relief, if they didn't stay, there might be a glimmer of life left, but after thinking about it, go to the inner prison?What if the people in the inner prison tortured Meier like last time?Presumably, Concubine Li and the Empress would not give up this opportunity to completely overthrow themselves, they must take the opportunity to pry something out of the two of them, and the two of them would most likely be tortured to death like Biluan and Sister Hua!

No matter what situation I am in now, thinking about Mei Er and Xiao Zhao Zi, they didn't get any benefits because they followed me, instead they are worried every day, and now they have to suffer their own troubles and die miserably?

Never be weak again!Chang Xi repeatedly warned herself in her heart, raised her head, and looked at You Lan with the sharpest gaze, "They can't follow Auntie to the inner prison!" Her voice was high-pitched and firm.

Aunt Youlan sneered, "Zhaoyi is now on the verge of punishment, so I'm afraid I have no right to ask the old slaves to do anything! Someone! Take them away!"

Several guards made a promise, and stepped forward to grab the hands of Mei Er and Xiao Zhao Zi to drag them away forcibly.

Seeing this, Chang Xi flashed to the guards and opened his arms, "Who dares to take people away!"

"Please Zhaoyi get out of the way!" These guards were from Kunde Hall, so they didn't take the downcast Chang Xi seriously.

Chang Xi looked at them coldly, "If you want to take them away, pull out your knife and kill me if you have the ability!"

Seeing Chang Xi risking his life to protect themselves, Mei Er and Xiao Zhao Zi were very moved. Mei Er wept, "Zhaoyi takes care, don't worry about us, just remember to avenge us!"

Hearing what she said, Chang Xi felt even more uncomfortable. He had already been sealed into the palace, and he was afraid that he would die of old age here. How could he avenge them?They stepped forward to pull Meier away, but the guards refused to give in, and wanted to push Chang Xi away, but they heard an angry shout: "How dare you dare to be rude to Wu Zhaoyi!"

It was Heng Yue who spoke, and they didn't dare to offend, so they honestly stepped aside, but they grabbed Mei Er and Xiao Zhao Zi's arms and refused to let go.

Gao Lishi took a step forward, "Zhaoyi can't be without someone to wait around. One of Mei'er and Xiao Zhaozi is the maid in charge of the palace, and the other is the chief eunuch. Let's stay and serve Wu Zhaoyi!"

"Eunuch Gao, this is the empress's order!" You Lan sneered slightly after hearing this.

Gao Lishi didn't get angry, but just smiled, "Your Majesty only said to close the palace, but he didn't abolish Zhaoyi's status. She is still the ninth concubine of the second rank, so she should leave a slave to serve her! Do you want to go to the old slave?" His Majesty asked for the imperial decree?"

Seeing that Gao Lishi said that, Youlan dared to make a mistake, but smiled unwillingly, "Since the two of you are willing to be the living dead here, I won't say anything else!" After saying that, she took it away The rest of the maids in the Jiaofang Palace were tied together by a long rope, crying and rubbing against each other, as if they were going to die.

"The old slave resigns!" Seeing that the matter was over, Gao Lishi clasped his fists and walked out Shi Shi.

Heng Yue couldn't bear it, but he had no control over this matter, so he could only take a step forward and said quietly, "Zhaoyi, the guards outside the gate are all my people, so I won't make things difficult for you, if you have anything, just ask! "

"What else can I do?" Chang Xi smiled miserably.

Heng Yue couldn't persuade him anymore, and clasped his fists together, "Zhaoyi take care!"

"Let's go!" More than a dozen guards followed Heng Yue out of the palace gate. The heavy wooden door was slowly pushed up, a huge wooden fence was added, and two white seals were pasted on each of the two red doors. , more than a dozen guards were scattered and stood in various places to closely monitor.

Chao Chengen, Mu was demoted, but that's all!

That night he was still hugging himself and whispering love words, today he has sealed his palace so resolutely, indeed, the emperor loves like a snake in a cup, and those who drink too much will die!
Chang Xi smiled slightly, unable to bear such grief any longer, fainted on the ground.

When I woke up again, I didn’t know how long it had passed, but I saw Meng Tianxiang was burning on the wooden table in Jiaofang Hall, and the white smoke was fluttering, which made people feel the warmth of home.

"Zhaoyi, are you awake?" Mei'er immediately wiped away her tears, so as not to make Chang Xi feel more uncomfortable.

"What time is it?" Chang Xi's voice was as hoarse as an old woman's.

"It's already midnight!" Mei'er brought a pillow to cover her back, "Are you hungry? Eat something!"

In the huge Jiaofang Palace, only she and Meier are left, and the flying curtain looks like a ghost under the dim candlelight, and it is frightening to see it.

"Why don't you light more candles?" Chang Xi shrank back, the empty and deep hall made her feel insecure, like the underground palace of the dead.

Mei'er smiled awkwardly, "Save the candles!"

By the way, I forgot, the palace was sealed, and I don't know when the ban will be lifted, and the Shang Palace Bureau probably won't bring daily necessities again, "Then save it!" Chang Xi sighed.

"Zhaoyi, my servant found yesterday's leftover cakes in the small kitchen, you can eat some!" The figure of Xiao Zhao appeared in the hall, holding a porcelain plate in his right hand.
