The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 207
"Empress, I wonder if you still remember the loyal minister Huo Zhongliang whose head was beheaded by the whole family because of you?" the minister said cautiously.

"Huo Zhongliang?" Empress Jiang was stunned for a moment, trying her best to remember, and found that this person really existed, and it seemed that she was wronged and imprisoned by herself a few years ago, and then his whole family was killed because he did not cooperate with her and did not support her. His son Dugu Jiazheng is the prince.

"Is there any relationship between this female prisoner who poisoned Zheng'er and this Huo Zhongliang?" the emperor said leisurely.

"Back to the emperor, Huo Zhongliang's youngest daughter, Huo Xuerou, escaped in the massacre of the Huo family. Later, during a strangling of the rebel party, she was captured and thrown into the prison. She was supposed to be killed, but it happened to coincide with the emperor's birthday to pardon the world." , that’s why she spared her life, and then she was imprisoned in the prison, and it happened that she knew about the prince’s imprisonment this time, so...?” The minister didn’t explain the rest, but everyone knew what it meant.

After listening, the emperor closed his eyes in pain: "It's really self-inflicted."

"Impossible, how could it be like this, it must be Dugu Jialuo, he was the one who killed Zheng'er, Your Majesty, if you have a concubine in your heart, then kill that bastard, he must be the one who did it." Queen Jiang insisted yes Dugu Jialuo did it.

Several ministers couldn't stand it anymore: "Empress, wake up, His Royal Highness Chen is still negotiating with General Wumeng in Zhuankou, how could he frame His Royal Highness? And the female prisoner has been imprisoned for three years after verification. , if it is someone from His Royal Highness Chen Wang, how could it be possible to wait for three years, this is not logical?"

"Leilei, have you heard it? This matter has nothing to do with Jia Luo. If you hadn't insisted on eradicating the Huo family and eliminating dissidents, how could it be possible to have what happened today?" The emperor is obviously tired, this is him For the first time, he publicly blamed Queen Jiang.

"Your majesty, how can you blame the concubine? Zheng'er is also your son? Don't you care at all?" Queen Jiang roared madly.

"So what do I care about? People are gone. After all these years, don't be so persistent." The emperor sighed a long time.

"Your Majesty, you can't ignore it. This matter can't be left alone. I want Zheng'er they gave me to pay for his life." Empress Jiang shouted hysterically.

The emperor waved his hand weakly: "Take the queen down, she is emotionally unstable, don't let her leave the Phoenix Pavilion at will."

"Your majesty, our son is dead. You can't treat my concubine like this. Even if I framed Xie Mengying, you shouldn't treat me like this. For so many years, this concubine has devoted herself to protecting you...?" Empress Jiang The crying gradually faded away.

At this time, another soldier came to report: "Good news, Your Majesty, King Chen has just sent back news that the negotiations at Zhuankou have been successful, and General Wumeng is willing to return to the border to continue guarding."

"Okay, it's good that the crisis is resolved, ahem." The emperor said wearily.

"Your Majesty, what about... the female prisoner who poisoned His Highness the Crown Prince?" Several other ministers of Dali Temple asked cautiously.

"Three days later, beheaded outside the Meridian Gate." After all, the emperor still wanted to avenge his son.

It can be said that the prince died unjustly. It is ridiculous that he can die in Huangquan by kissing a female prisoner, but it is no wonder that he is so unlucky that he can meet the enemy that his mother offended when he was in prison.

inside the dungeon

Late night
A man dressed as a guard walked in and was stopped by the jailer: "Stop, who is it, the sky is locked up, no outsiders are allowed to enter or leave."

"I am a member of His Royal Highness Chen Wang. His Royal Highness Chen still has many questions about the death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he wants me to interrogate that female prisoner." The guard was confident and confident, and he was not afraid of the jailer at all.

"Oh, so it's His Royal Highness Chen Wang, let's go in." When the jailer heard that it was Chen Wang, he immediately let him go.

The reason is very simple. Recently, His Royal Highness Chen Wang did a great thing. He persuaded Pan Baoping, the general of Wumeng, in Zhuankou, and did a good deed for the people of Liuyun Kingdom. He also heard that the emperor promised Chen Wang that once the negotiation is successful, , Canonized him as the prince.

The former prince is dead, and the new prince will appear after all. There are only four princes in total. The second prince is now in prison, because of gambling, he sold the tribute from Xuechen Kingdom and is waiting to be released. The fourth prince, Dugu Jiabao, is not even ten years old. , is still young, so the most imaginative new emperor must be His Highness Chen Wang, and when he heard that the person was His Highness Chen Wang, the jailer naturally did not dare to neglect.

The guard walked in, walked slowly to the edge of the prison, looked at the woman in white and called, "Xuerou?"

"Xiansheng, why are you here?" The woman immediately showed surprise when she saw the person coming.

"Master asked me to come here. How are you? Are you okay? Have you been sentenced?" Sheng Sheng asked with concern.

"No, they didn't embarrass me. Now that the emperor has issued an order to beheaded, execution is meaningless to me." The woman smiled faintly.

"You've worked hard this time. The master said that on the day you will be executed, you will lose your bag and rescue you. Then you will be rewarded for your merits. This time, you have contributed a lot to getting rid of the crown prince." Sheng Sheng looked at the woman in prison gratefully.

"It's nothing, I will die without regret if I do things for my master." The woman seemed very satisfied.

"Xuerou, you have waited in prison for three years for this task. I really wronged you. You are obviously not from the Huo family, but you have to pretend to be Huo Zhongliang's daughter. It is really a challenge for you. .” There was a look of pity in Sheng Sheng’s eyes.

"No way, the master wanted the real Huo Xuerou to go. It's a pity that she died too early, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use me, Mo Xuerou." The woman in white said slowly.

"In the past three years, I have been worried about you all the time. I wanted to see you a few times, but my master stopped me for fear of revealing any clues. Now that Empress Jiang is gone and the situation is settled, I can finally rest assured that I will wait for you outside." Derived Said excitedly.

"En... Sheng Sheng, is master okay? Do you have anything else to say to me?" the woman asked expectantly.

"Master was ordered to go to Zhuankou to negotiate. On the way back, it is estimated that the emperor will canonize the master as the prince when he comes back this time. The master's revenge can finally be avenged. It's okay. Don't worry. When you come out in the future, the master is right. Left hand and right arm." Sheng Sheng laughed.

"Well, that's good. Just wait until I go out. I've been suppressed too hard for the past three years. I'm really worried...Master, why did I forget about me, Mo Xuerou?" The woman smiled sweetly.

"Xuerou, are you...still deeply in love with Master?" Seeing Mo Xuerou's eyes, Sheng Sheng felt a little disappointed.

"Xiansheng, you should understand that my heart for Master will never change." Without the slightest bit of shame, Mo Xuerou boldly revealed her love for Dugu Jialuo.

"But master...he already has a woman he likes." After much deliberation, Yan Yan decided to tell her.

"Really? It seems that I have missed a lot in the past three years?" The woman smiled bitterly.

"That woman is from Tianmu, she is a stunning beauty, but it is impossible for her to be with the master, because she is already a married woman, forget it, I will tell you slowly when you come out, what do you want these days? Take care." Yan Yan looked at the woman in white and said seriously.

"Well, don't worry, Sheng Sheng, I will." Mo Xuerou smiled.

"How is your cold poison? Did you take the antidote in time?" Thinking of this crucial question, Sheng Sheng asked.

"It's okay, don't worry."

"That's good, then I'm leaving." Sheng Sheng turned and left after speaking.

The woman in white turned her head, stared blankly at the high skylight and murmured, "Jia Luo, I'm going out, do you... miss me?"

Phoenix Pavilion

Late night
Empress Jiang only felt that the inner hall was more eerie and gloomy than usual, as long as there was a wind blowing outside the window, she would tremble all over with fright.

"No, don't come here." Empress Jiang was awakened from a nightmare once.

"Empress, what's the matter with you? Are you having nightmares again?" A little maid hurriedly ran in and asked.

Looking up at the face of the little maid, she instantly turned into Empress Xie. Empress Jiang was so frightened that she screamed: "Ah, Xie Mengying, aren't you dead? Why are you coming back? Get out of here, get out of here."

"Empress, what's the matter with you, please carefully look at the servant, the servant is a shadow." The little maid was also frightened to death.

"Don't come here, you evil spirit, you go to die, my son is the crown prince, you go to die." Queen Jiang picked up the pillow and threw it at the little maid while cursing.

The little palace maid had no choice but to go out of the inner hall and call the little eunuch to help. Unexpectedly, as soon as the little eunuch came in, Empress Jiang rushed forward and hugged the little eunuch tightly: "Zhenger, you are back?"

"Empress, this servant is Xiao Fuzi, not His Highness the Crown Prince." The little eunuch trembled when he saw that the Queen had misidentified him as His Highness the Crown Prince.

"No, you are my Zheng'er. I can't misjudge anyone. Zheng'er, my mother misses you so much. They all say you're dead, but you're not dead, right? This is your plan, right? ?” Queen Jiang said mysteriously.

Seeing that something was wrong, Ying'er, the palace maid, immediately reported to the emperor...

Afterwards, the emperor brought the imperial physician to the Phoenix Pavilion, and saw that Empress Jiang was still touching the little eunuch's head and said, "Zhenger, didn't the queen mother tell you not to get too close to that Dugu Jiaming? He is not a good person." , in this world, only the queen mother is sincerely good to you, so don't trust other people."

At this time, the little eunuch saw the emperor with sharp eyes, and immediately knelt down on his knees in fright: "My servant pays my respects to the emperor."

"Your Majesty?" Hearing someone calling her Majesty, Empress Jiang raised her head and smiled: "Your Majesty, Zheng'er is back, he is not dead, look." As she spoke, Empress Jiang pointed at the little eunuch.

The emperor opened his mouth in distress and said: "Leilei, he is not Zheng'er, Zheng'er is already dead."

"What? You are talking nonsense. How can you say that about our son? Zheng'er is our only son. He is the crown prince and the future emperor. How could he die?" Empress Jiang had obviously gone mad.

At this time, the imperial physician standing behind the emperor said: "Your Majesty, according to the veteran's many years of experience, the Empress Empress suffered a huge blow and her memory became crazy. The situation is not very good."

"Is there any way to cure it?" Although Empress Jiang has done many bad things, the emperor has been married to her for many years and seems unwilling to do anything to her.He couldn't bear to blame her for anything.

"This situation is not easy to treat, and the empress will become more serious in the palace. She will only remember the memories of His Royal Highness and her. Why not... why not give the empress another place to cultivate herself." The imperial physician said in a low voice.

"I know." Then the emperor gave Empress Jiang a helpless look and said: "Come here, from tomorrow, the Empress will be moved to Lengyue Palace for cultivation, and no one will disturb her."

Lengyue Palace, as the name suggests, Lenggong, perhaps this is the best way for her at present.

At this time, the soldiers from the outer palace came to report: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Chen Wang has returned from Zhuankou with his troops."

"Okay, I'll go there now." The emperor nodded, turned and left the Phoenix Pavilion.
