Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 108

The shaman mother-in-law mixed with people Rong Huang had placed before, and she just waited for the opportunity to set fire to Kunning Palace.When Rui Lan came back to report, Rong Ruo picked up Rong Huang and walked north into the Imperial Garden according to the route they had planned before.

Because the queen gave birth today and the nobleman was imprisoned, no concubine had the leisure to take a walk in the imperial garden.Of course, in order to be safe, Rong Huang's brother had led people to seal off the Royal Garden.Therefore, Rong Ruo, Rong Huang, and Ru Lan passed through the imperial garden smoothly, and continued to walk north towards Shenwumen.

Shenwumen was originally called Xuanwumen.Xuanwu is one of the four mythical beasts in ancient times. In terms of orientation, the green dragon on the left, the white tiger on the right, the red bird in the front, and Xuanwu in the back. Xuanwu mostly refers to the north gate of the imperial palace.When it was rebuilt during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed Shenwumen to avoid the name taboo of Emperor Kangxi Xuanye.

Bells and drums were set up at Shenwumen, managed by Luan Yiwei, and Qin Tianjian instructed to change the number. The bells rang one hundred and eight times after dusk every day, and the bells were not rung when the emperor lived in the palace.When Rong Huang and others arrived at Shenwumen, the one hundred and eighth bell had just struck.At this time, the Kunning Palace behind them was in a mess, and the flames were burning into the sky.

There was no turning back for them.

As the back door of the Qing Dynasty Imperial Palace, Shenwu Gate is an important access control for daily access to the palace, and it is also a special door for concubines and royal family members to enter and exit the palace.The city tower is about 30 meters high, and it is absolutely impossible to climb the wall to get out.In theory, it is very difficult to enter and exit the back door of the palace, but in fact, during the Jiaqing period, civilians broke in through the Shenwu Gate.Moreover, Rong Huang and the others had the help of Ling'a, so it was not impossible for them to escape.

But Rong Huang never expected that someone would come in and out of Shenwumen at this moment!That person is none other than her cousin and Princess Shuoroujia!

The group of them bumped into each other on the north side of the imperial garden.As soon as Rong Huang got into the prepared carriage, he saw Rou Jia's carriage blocking the front.Rong Ruo hesitated for a moment and was about to change the road, but unexpectedly the carriage in front stopped suddenly.In the blink of an eye, Rou Jia walked towards them.

Rong Ruo didn't stop her, and knew it wasn't necessary.So Roujia boarded the carriage logically and opened the curtain.

"It really is Huang'er." Rou Jia seemed relieved.

Rong Huang looked at her with a complicated expression, and said warily: "What does sister want to do?"

"Kunning Palace is on fire, I have nowhere to go, so I want to go back to the house, this explanation is logical, right?" Rou Jia suddenly stretched out her hand to Rong Huang, persuading: "Come, come with me."

"Where are you going?"

Roujia squeezed out a faint smile: "Go where you want to go."

It turned out that Roujia had just heard that the Yikun Palace was on fire, and she didn't sit there crying like Concubine Yi and the others, but stared closely at the palace people of Kunning Palace, trying to find any clues.In the end, she set her sights on Jing Yi who was orderly ordering the palace servants to put out the fire.She knew that Jing Yi had a waist card for entering and exiting the palace, which was unique to the queen, and Rong Huang gave it to Jing Yi for safekeeping.

She told Jing Yi that she wanted her maid to leave the palace to report her safety, and she asked Jing Yi to borrow that waist card, but Jing Yi couldn't get it out.The clever Roujia guessed at once that this was Ronghuang's golden cicada's plan to escape.She didn't have time to think, so she had to get in the carriage of the Princess Mansion and hurried over.

"If you leave the palace with the queen's waist card, even if you pretend to be a palace lady, you will definitely attract suspicion. Why don't you follow me, and the emperor will investigate in the future, and the clue will be broken when you come to me." After they all sat safely in the carriage , Joo Chia explained.

Rong Huang knew that Rou Jia was really doing it for her own good, if she wanted to expose Rong Huang, she would have already called someone to block their carriage.Now that things have come to this, she has no choice but to take the same boat with Rou Jia.

scam
"Sister has nothing to do with this matter, so why bother getting angry?" Rong Huang hugged the child tightly and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Rou Jia was not in a hurry to answer, but opened her hands to Rong Huang, and said with a smile, "Can I hug him?"

Without hesitation, Rong Huang sent the child to Rou Jia's arms.She knew that Roujia had always wanted a son, but she hadn't been able to get her wish after so many years.

"I know you are leaving, if I can't do something for you, I will have a bad conscience for the rest of my life." Rou Jia carefully returned the child to Rong Huang, and explained gently: "Since I talked to you about the Emperor's After the incident, I kept thinking whether I was too selfish, because I couldn't stay with the emperor, so I stubbornly hoped that the two of you can be well. Maybe the person in your heart is not the emperor at all, and when you were rejected by the emperor The selection into the palace...is also because of me."

What Rou Jia said was half right, but Rong Huang didn't refute her aloud, just listened quietly.

"Huang'er, you are smart and cautious, but you didn't take precautions against me. During these days in Kunning Palace, I have already noticed the clues and noticed that you are leaving, which further confirms my guess. You don't love the emperor at all. ,right?"

Rong Huang nodded slightly.

Roujia suddenly laughed when she saw it: "Good Huang'er, although you are not my real sister, you are as close as my real sister. Mr. Nalan is a rare and good home. My sister sincerely blesses you and hopes you can be happy .”

"elder sister……"

"I'm leaving today. I don't know if we can meet again. But for the sake of safety, we still don't contact you anymore, so as not to hurt you."

Rong Huang's heart felt sour, and was about to speak, but who knew that the carriage stopped suddenly at this point, and Rong Huang knew that it was at the gate of the palace.Because they had the badges of the Empress Empress, and Princess Roujia came forward to explain, the soldiers guarding the tower quickly let them go.

Feeling the carriage slowly driving out of the palace, Rong Huang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his mood became more relaxed.Regardless of whether Kangxi will hunt her and her children in the future, at least for now, they are temporarily safe.

But Rong Huang obviously reassured too early.After the carriage drove out of Shenwu Gate, the horse suddenly went berserk for no reason, and rushed forward like crazy.Rong Ruo hurried to stop him, but who would have thought that the horse seemed to be aided by a god, ten times stronger than ordinary horses.

The carriage bumped violently, and the three women in the carriage tried their best to protect the little child in the middle.At this moment, Rong Huang's eyes suddenly brightened, and his body stabilized suddenly.She instinctively closed her eyes to avoid the glaring light, and when she opened them again, she saw a familiar yet strange woman——Mei Luo.

A few days ago Ma Jia finally died, Rong Huang waited for Mei Luo for a long time but she didn't show up, somehow she suddenly appeared at this time.But after thinking about it, she guessed a little bit. It seems that the horse's sudden madness just now was caused by this dead woman.Is this twisted and perverted woman really her past life?Was she such a crazy woman in her previous life?

"You have a lot of ideas." Mei Luo raised the corners of her lips and laughed, "Actually, you guessed right, I am not your past life at all. The so-called past life and present life were a scam from the very beginning. !"

Rong Huang was so terrified by her weird smile that she couldn't help taking a step back, but Mei Luo followed her like a ghost, almost clinging to her body.

"If you are stupid, you are much more powerful than me in the previous life. You not only solved the Hesheli family, the Ma Jia family, and the concubine Ping, but also kept the family, and sat on the throne of the queen several years in advance. But If you say you are smart, you are really stupid!" Mei Luo stretched out her hand and raised Rong Huang's chin, the sharp nails cut the tender skin around her neck, blood immediately flowed down the curve of her body, dripping On the body of the baby in the arms.

"You finally became a queen and gave birth to a son-in-law. You are going to sleep with other women just for the sake of the emperor. You are leaving the palace and leaving behind your glory and wealth?!" Mei Luo shouted hysterically, her expression on the verge of madness.

With such a close contact with her, Rong Huang finally understood why she felt that Mei Luo had changed the last time they met.Mei Luo has indeed changed.Her face became more and more similar to Rong Huang's today, and now it looks almost the same, only a little bit of the same.

"All of this is my own choice, and I haven't regretted it, so what does it have to do with you?" She has long felt that something is wrong with Mei Luo, but people can kill people when they get in the way, but can ghosts kill ghosts when they get in the way? ?

"What does it have to do with me? Haha, what do you say has nothing to do with me?" Mei Luo sneered: "You don't know now, but you will know soon! Because your body will soon be mine, hahahaha!"

Rong Huang finally couldn't help frowning: "What do you mean?"

"Just like you can see! I have practiced for decades, but my soul still can't return to the body, so I have to pull your soul to temporarily recharge. I use you to remove stumbling blocks for me, and wait until my ability is enough to return I will drive you out when it reaches the main body!"

Rong Huang quickly understood: "So that means, if I don't escape from the palace, you will squeeze out my soul when your mana is strong enough?"

In other words, if she doesn't escape from the Forbidden City, she will soon be replaced by Mei Luo, either as a lonely ghost or as a ghost...

"As expected of the person I chose, he still has some brains. Originally, I planned to wait until the beginning of next year to act, but I didn't expect you to run away, so... I have to do it in advance!" Mei Luo suddenly let go of her hand and shook it. Kai Ronghuang cast her eyes on the baby in her arms. "Your use value has disappeared, now you can give the child to me."
