Rebirth of the famous family

Chapter 494 It's Now (1)
King Yu sat down patiently when he heard the words, and after thinking about it, he still slapped his knees, and said: "The fact that Liu Baoshan has taken refuge in me secretly is known to only my concubine except this king. In order to avoid suspicion these years, Liu Baoshan has come to Beijing to report on his duties They never said a word to me. It is impossible for the empress and Wanyan Zongze to know about this matter. If Cheng Yi had not confessed, why would Wanyan Zongze use this matter to fool me. In that letter, I promised to reward Liu when I ascended the throne. Baoshan, if it falls into the hands of the royal father, is it any different from conspiracy? The informant said that Cheng Yi's handwritten letter to Liu Baoshan was a fake, and he kept the original handwriting of the king in case he would be abandoned by the king one day. He has already made a deal with Wanyan Zongze. As long as Wanyan Zongze can arrange a new identity for him, he will tell Wanyan Zongze where the letter is hidden as soon as he gets the official document. Now Wanyan Zongze has sent his confidants back to Beijing to handle the document Now, this matter will not be faked."

Concubine Xian also felt uneasy after hearing this, fearing that this matter would lead to a catastrophe, she was uneasy, frowned for a while, and said: "Wanyan Zongze's rule is extremely strict, and his subordinates are also loyal. If this matter really happened, he would keep it under wraps, so that we would be caught off guard. How could you easily ask you to find out about this matter? The mother and concubine always feel that this matter is strange, and you need to think about it. If Liu Baoshan If you can be here, just ask him, but he is far away in Yanzhou, beyond reach..."

Seeing that Concubine Xian was unable to make a decision, King Yu said decisively: "I was afraid that Cheng Yi would not be safe, so I asked someone to inquire about it, and it took a lot of effort to find out about it. Think about it, concubine Liu Baoshan is the first one to treat us. The military general who surrenders is very important to us. If we can't save him, who will support the king in the future? Without a gun, how can we talk about great cause?! It's too late to think about this matter. When we return to the capital, we want to It is even more difficult to kill Cheng Yi, and only after Cheng Yi dies can there be no proof, no matter how difficult it is for that secret letter to appear in the world, mother and concubine, there is an urgent need now, and we cannot wait any longer!"

Hearing what King Yu said, thinking about the military power held in Liu Baoshan's hands, Concubine Xian refused to give up, gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "Just in case, you don't get involved in this matter, so don't worry about it, mother." The imperial concubine will take care of that Cheng Yi."

After hearing the words, King Yu thought for a while, finally nodded, and said: "Mother and concubine must act cautiously."

After King Yu left, Concubine Xian summoned Concubine Hua to plot to assassinate Cheng Yi.Half an hour later, in a remote servant's room in the palace, the sound of joy and love gradually subsided, the room was not lit, and the woman on the bed just sat up in the darkness when the man lying on her stretched out his hand and kissed her again. As soon as she grabbed it, the woman turned her head and stared at the man angrily, and the man slammed her wrist, saying: "Why are you pretending to be a chaste woman now? Don't you want to send food to your lover?"

The woman snuggled into the arms of the man when she heard the words, and begged in a low voice: "My family is committed to the Lord, and I just hope that the Lord will show kindness and give this plate of venison roasted by the slave family to my lover, so that he will not be tempted." You are still a starving ghost, sir, you have already taken the body of a slave, so you can't say nothing..."

This woman is Caiyue, the maidservant next to Concubine Hua, and the man is the one who delivers meals to the small prison where the prisoners are held in the palace.Caiyue only said that she and Cheng Yi had an affair with the palace maids and guards, and now that her lover was arrested, he was about to lose his life for committing a serious crime, so the infatuated woman did not hesitate to commit herself to present a plate of meat to her lover.

The person who delivered the food didn't know the connection, and he didn't know that Cheng Yi was not a guard at all, and he was a greedy person, so he believed it to be true, and was so happy to have this beautiful thing delivered to his door, and had a dewy love with Caiyue.

Seeing her begging for help at this moment, he said: "Don't worry, since I touched you, I took the risk to bring food in for you. It's hard for you to be so affectionate, your lover will die if he eats this meat." I can rest in peace."

Caiyue sneered and raised her lips when she heard the words, she thought to herself that if that person ate this meat, he would die in peace, but she wept and said: "Thank you, Lord, don't tell him that this food is given by me, otherwise he will definitely eat it." I will lose my taste because of worrying about my slaves."

Caiyue got out of bed when the man agreed, and said: "I'll take a long time to come out, I'm afraid that the mother will look for slaves, so I will go now, and I will leave everything to the Lord."

Caiyue put on her clothes and was sneaky with her waist down. As soon as she came out of the house and closed the door, her eyes widened in shock and she exclaimed. When she turned around, four guards appeared in front of her. The man in the costume, and another eunuch with a very bright appearance, were obviously coming towards her.

"Take it!" The eunuch was Yongkang, after he finished speaking, a guard stepped forward to remove Caiyue's chin and cut her hands behind her back.

The man in the room was startled when he heard the movement, and was subdued before he could react. Yongkang glanced at the room and waved his hand, and his own guard entered the room and brought out the food box.

At dawn the next day, when the emperor got up in the Longevity Palace, a eunuch bowed in and said, "Your Majesty, King Wuying has something to ask for an audience."

The emperor was waited on and put on the dragon boots, so he got up and stretched his arms. Two court ladies added dragon robes for him, and he said: "Come in."

The eunuch withdrew, and a moment later Yan Zongze's tall and straight figure appeared in the hall. He strode forward and knelt down to salute. When the emperor asked him why he asked for an audience, he said in a deep voice: "The big bug attacked Huayang Princess and Maolin was on fire. All have been found out, and my ministers have come to return."

Hearing this, the emperor took the red gold cup held by the court lady and rinsed his mouth. Fang tested his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Oh? I don't know who did it?"

Wanyan Zongze raised his eyes when he heard the words, and his eyes fell heavily on the toe of the emperor's square boots, and said: "It's all done by the concubine Xian and King Yu. There are witnesses from my sons and ministers, and the physical evidence. Please check it out."

After hearing this, the emperor groaned, and then strode out, saying: "The empress, prince, concubine Xian and other people involved in the matter are questioned at Xian'an Hall."

After a cup of tea, Concubine Xian was summoned in the palace. She had taken action last night and sent someone to deal with Cheng Yi. She didn't sleep well all night, just waiting for the report of Cheng Yi's death, but the news hasn't come yet. , she waited for the emperor's summons first, her heart tightened, and then she hurriedly packed up and went to Xian'an Hall.

With an ugly complexion, she entered the Xian'an Hall with the help of the maid. Seeing a man kneeling in the hall with slightly disheveled hair, it was Cheng Yi. But he heard a soft voice behind him.
