Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 306 Strange Events in the Palace

Everything seemed to have come to an end, and the surface of the palace was as calm as before, as if nothing had happened.

However, several strange things happened one after another in the palace.

First, the horses in the imperial stables died one after another, but in just ten days, more than a dozen horses have died one after another. The most important thing is how the horse died, no one knows.

The emperor has always liked riding and archery, and he also paid special attention to horses. In addition, the Daliang Kingdom was ruled by horses, so the people of Daliang always regarded horses as their comrades-in-arms.

And just after the horses died for ten days in a row, they received a report from the frontier Tang, saying that the army had suffered a defeat and was now temporarily retreating to Yuguan.

The emperor convened the ministers to discuss the matter. Qi Xiang pointed out that the emperor should not send Huainan king.

Qi Xiang and other ministers asked the emperor to investigate and deal with the minister who proposed to send Huainan King this time. Because of the wrong suggestion, Liang Jun was forced to retreat to Yumen.

The emperor did not investigate, because this time he accepted Qinghe's suggestion and dispatched King Huainan to contain General Qi.

Although he himself had such thoughts, the emperor would not bear this fault, and he couldn't help but criticize Qinghe in his heart.

After the discussion was over, he felt bored and went to the Bird Garden to relax.

When I went to the bird garden, I found that all the birds were sluggish. The bird supervisor told him that since a few days ago, these birds have been like this, and they don’t like to be fed. They even tried to open the cage and let them fly out. They were unwilling to leave the cage, and seemed to be weak all over.

The emperor was greatly surprised, and opened the parrot's cage himself. This parrot was his favorite. In the past, when he came, the parrot would always say blessings to the emperor, but today he lay down in the cage listlessly. He raised his eyes slightly, but there was no other reaction.

He personally fetched bird food and fed it to the parrot, but the parrot just glanced at it and didn't want to eat it.

"What the hell is going on?" The emperor was furious and asked the bird supervisor.

Quejian said: "If you go back to the emperor, you will also order the veterinarian to come and check. The veterinarian only said that these birds have lost their appetite and energy, and there is nothing wrong with them."

"Has this been tried before?" asked the emperor.

"Returning to the emperor, I have never tried this before. Even though some birds were infected with the disease the year before last, they were recovered within a few days. This time, a large area of ​​birds were sluggish. I don't know what happened."

The emperor opened the parrot's cage and led it to fly out. In the past, the parrot flew out with fluttering, but now it just stood up, and then fell down weakly, looking very sick.

"This is clearly sick, did you not take medicine?" asked the emperor.

Quejian said: "Going back to the emperor, I invited a veterinarian to come over to look at it, and prescribed some medicine, but it didn't work if I forced it down, it's the same."

"It's so strange?" The emperor was in a bad mood, "Please ask the veterinarian again, next time I come, don't see this."

"Yes!" The sparrow supervisor responded.

Leaving the Bird Garden, the emperor was upset, Eunuch Xi saw that he had a bad look on his face, so he said: "Your Majesty, why don't you go to the Dinghe Palace to pay your respects, Master Xuan'er is over there, it's lively and lively, people will be happy too. "

The emperor waved his hand, "Forget it, let's go to Fushen Palace, I may not have seen Xiaoqi for a long time."

Xiao Qi is the son of Concubine Qi Gui, the current Seventh Prince, the emperor also likes him very much, because he has been smart since he was a child, now he is only seven years old, and he is already very eloquent when it comes to literature.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go to the Dinghe Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, it's just that he didn't want to go there when he remembered that Yili was probably there too.

Although he didn't order Yili to be punished, he somewhat blamed her for making such a suggestion.

When I went to Fushen Palace, I saw a guard carrying a person out, and seeing the emperor, he hurriedly put down the person and saluted.

Seeing that the body lying on the ground turned out to be a dead body, Eunuch Xi couldn't help being furious, "Bold, how dare you bump into the holy car? Are you dying?"

The guard quickly pleaded guilty, and then carried the body down.

When the emperor saw the corpse, he was naturally unhappy. When Concubine Qi heard that the emperor was coming, she hurried out to greet him.

"Chen and concubine see the emperor!"

"What's going on here? Who was carried out? How did he die?" The emperor asked unhappily, and strode into the hall.

Concubine Qi followed in and said, "Return to the emperor, this is the little maid from Fushen Palace. Not long after she was transferred here, she suffered some grievances. She couldn't think about it when she came back, and she hanged herself in her room."

"Suicide?" The emperor was furious, "Is this okay? How did you teach your slaves?"

It is an extremely unlucky thing for a servant in the palace to commit suicide. Now that the frontier army is defeated, and encountering such an unlucky thing again, the emperor is so angry that his lungs will explode.

Concubine Qi quickly knelt down to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, please calm down, this court lady has just entered the palace, she doesn't understand anything, she was ordered to teach her aunt to teach her, but she never thought that she would be so arrogant that she would not even be able to bear the slightest grievance."

"What kind of grievance? If you say it, I will see why she must die." The emperor insisted on finding someone to perform the operation to vent his anger.

Concubine Qi Gui hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's just that she was scolded a few times, it's nothing serious, I just don't know why she couldn't think about it."

The emperor said coldly: "I can't bear a few scoldings? With such an arrogant temper, do you really think of yourself as your master? Immediately order the inner government to investigate her family and punish her. All the nine clans will be assigned!"

The seventh prince walked in from the outside, heard the emperor's angry voice, stepped forward and said, "Father, Yun'er is not a bad person, why did you send her family away? Her death is already miserable enough, just let her go." family."

"Yun'er?" The emperor looked dazed for a moment, "Her name is Yun'er?"

"Yes, Father, Yun'er and Erchen are doing very well, she tells Erchen stories every day."

The emperor reached out to hug him, "Xiaoqi, do you like this Yun'er very much?"

"I like it!" The seventh prince sat on his lap and looked up at the emperor, "Father, please let Yun'er's family go, she is a filial person, and she always talks about her mother to my son."

"Really?" The emperor's voice was slightly displeased, "If you are thinking about your family, you shouldn't be wronged and commit suicide."

The Seventh Prince curled his mouth, "It's no wonder she is there. If I change my son-in-law, the son-in-law will also feel uncomfortable. Who would feel comfortable if this good-looking person is treated like a thief?"

"Looking like a thief? What's going on? Stealing something?"

The Seventh Prince said: "Mother Concubine asked her to give something to Elder Sister Yi'er, but Elder Sister Yi'er lost something in the palace, so she said that she stole it. I know Yun'er's character, and Yun'er will not steal things. .”

"Yi'er?" The emperor frowned and said two words coldly.
