The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 191 Blood Splattered Deep Palace ([-])
The imperial palace was eerily quiet that day.

No one dared to move around, let alone talk, and even dared not make eye contact, as if something terrible was floating in the air.

The dozens of miserable corpses in front of Chonghua Palace are enough to make everyone in the palace terrified.

The conflict between the queen and the princess, they must not be accidentally involved, there will definitely be no bones left!

Although everyone did not expect that the queen would suddenly have the courage to provoke the princess and want to take over the prince, but it was even more unexpected that the princess would be so ruthless, taking dozens of lives to stand up!
This was the most terrifying and bloody event in the harem since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty.

But the subsequent development made the palace people's fear of Princess Huarong go deep into the bone marrow.

After killing those palace guards, Princess Huarong took the eldest prince to the emperor's bedroom.

Half an hour later, people saw Her Royal Highness the Princess coming out with a calm face. The eldest prince was nowhere to be seen, but there was an extra person behind her.

This is also the emperor's confidant.Xu Heng, chief eunuch of the chief inspector of ceremonies.

Xu Heng was the great companion of Emperor Yongjia when he was in the hidden residence, and he was the No.1 servant among his servants.After Emperor Yongjia came to the throne, he was promoted as the chief eunuch in accordance with the usual practice, and he was charged with the post of "approving red".

This power is incredible. In the hands of those eunuchs who liked to exercise power in the past, if they play well, they can completely compete with the cabinet.

However, Emperor Yongjia himself was not a strong emperor, and Xu Heng was used to keeping a low profile. He had no ambitions, and only wanted to be loyal and fulfill his duty, so that he could take care of himself in the future.So since he became the chief eunuch of the chief inspector of ceremonies, apart from his normal work, he has not extended his hand in government affairs, and the bigwigs in the cabinet have a very good relationship with him.

But his low-key is low-key, which doesn't mean his status is humble.In this deep palace, he is still a big man who holds great power, and the concubines who wait for him should be polite to him.

Empress Chen tried her best to win him over, but he managed to resolve it with Tai Chi Pushing Hands, and did not accept Empress Chen's fault at all.

On the contrary, Yun Ruochen, he has always been an "old slave", and when he saw Yun Ruochen, he would laugh like a wrinkled old chrysanthemum.This made Empress Chen hate her so much, but she had nothing to do with Xu Heng.

She didn't even think about it, Xu Heng was an old man who followed the emperor into the palace, and he knew the details of Yun Ruochen much better than her.

Back then, if the little princess hadn't advised the emperor, the Prince Jing's mansion that had been burned would not even have hope of being rebuilt. How old was the little princess at that time?Also, to be able to protect herself and the eldest prince in the midst of chaos, is this kind of wisdom and bravery that ordinary women can have?
Xu Heng's admiration for Yun Ruochen came from the heart, not just because Yun Ruochen was favored by the emperor.Empress Chen couldn't understand this point.

Of course Xu Heng got the news in time about the various incidents that happened in Chonghua Palace this afternoon, but he was not good at acting, and he didn't even dare to report to the emperor.If the emperor is so angry that his body breaks down, who can take the responsibility?

Unexpectedly, Yun Ruochen moved so fast, but took the initiative to bring the eldest prince to report to the emperor who woke up from a nap.

When Xu Heng was called into the inner hall, he found that the emperor who was recuperating on the bed was gently stroking the eldest prince's head, his face was livid, and he ordered in a hoarse voice: "You will follow the princess to see the queen later."

Afterwards, the emperor coughed a few times and delivered another oral order.

Xu Heng didn't show the slightest surprise, but respectfully accepted the order, expressing that he would obey His Highness the Princess.

That's why people saw Yun Ruochen brought Xu Heng out, and went straight to the queen.Of course, it couldn't be just the two of them. Ji Jianing and a lot of Guo Zheng's guards followed closely. There were at least 80 or [-] of them, and everyone looked solemn.

This is... what to do?
The palace people were extremely curious, but no one dared to chew their tongues.

In the small Buddhist hall of Tsinghua Palace, Concubine Duan listened to the grand lady convey what happened in the past half day, and she didn't make a sound for a long time.

After a while, she got up, knelt down on the futon, and silently knocked on the wooden fish.

The maid hurriedly replaced the incense burner with a new Buddhist incense.Faint light smoke accompanied by a bitter aroma rose from the Buddhist hall, amidst the sound of beeping wooden fish, one could vaguely hear Concubine Duan muttering Buddhist scriptures.

She is eliminating the evil karma that Yun Ruochen created today.

I'm sick of this kid.

If it weren't for this kind of thunderous means, how could it suppress those Xiaoxiao who were still planning dirty ideas when the empire was in crisis?
If she has a powerful father, or an adult brother, why should she be so strong.

Others only saw Princess Huarong's ruthlessness, and only Concubine Duan understood her helplessness and difficulties.

Invasions from other places, courts in turmoil, civil turmoil, the emperor fell ill and was unable to govern, and the only emperor's younger brother was so young that everyone wanted to get his ideas.

If she is not tough, who will support the royal family?
If she also backed down, then the people who depended on her to live...wouldn't necessarily be fine.

"Son, if you are tired, come to the old man to rest..."

Concubine Duan sighed in her heart.

While Concubine Duan was chanting, Yun Ruochen had already surrounded the Queen's bedroom with people.

"You, what are you going to do?"

Empress Chen naturally knew long ago that the people she sent, including Nanny Cui, were all executed by Yun Ruochen.Although she is a queen, she has never seen such a battle. She was scared to death in the palace, and even the maids around her were so scared that they cried one by one.

Hua Rong, how dare she do this?She didn't know that...would she be impeached by the courtiers, and would anger those...those big bosses behind her?
Did she not consider the consequences?

Now, she actually rushed straight into her palace, could it be... Could it be that she came to question herself?

No, you can't lose to her in momentum.After all, she is her stepmother, the queen of a country!

"The Queen Mother."

Empress Chen was still doing mental training for herself, but Yun Ruochen walked up to her in two steps and looked at her mockingly.

"You are such a pampered and good lady...you don't think too much about everything. Should you say you are stupid or naive?"

Even though she was slightly shorter than Empress Chen, Yun Ruochen's aura still made Empress Chen feel that she was invisibly shorter.

"Hua Rong, you... are so rude! This palace is your mother's queen!"

Empress Chen reminded Yun Ruochen with a trembling voice, is she going to grab her hand again like last time... Now her hand is still hurting!
"Yes, you are my mother. Fortunately, if you don't have this identity, you will be like them."

Yun Ruochen laughed.

"them?"

Empress Chen suddenly had a very bad premonition.

At this time, the expressionless Xu Heng stepped forward, but Empress Chen was slow to notice his existence.

The old eunuch is here too... what is he doing here!
"Your Majesty, the Emperor asked the old servant to deliver the oral order."

Xu Heng's sharp old voice hurt Empress Chen's ears, and she bowed her lower body stiffly: "The concubine obeys the order."

"The emperor said that the people around the empress are too shameful, and they should all be taught a lesson. As the master of the six palaces, you can't even manage the servants well, and you have failed to fulfill the responsibilities of the empress. You should reflect on yourself."

what?
Before Empress Chen could react, she saw Xu Heng turn around and waved to the guards who followed: "Close the palace gate and take everyone down!"

In an instant, the whole palace was filled with the sound of wailing, some people kept shouting for mercy, and some desperately begged the queen to save them.

"You, you dare to touch people in this palace?"

Empress Chen tried her best to stand up straight, and hurriedly said to Xu Heng: "I am going to see the emperor, Eunuch Xu, let your people stop first!"

Xu Heng ignored her, but Yun Ruochen laughed again.

"Your Majesty, you can touch my people...yours, why can't I touch them?"

She looked at her playfully, like a cat playing with a half-dead mouse under its paws.

"You don't know, those people who came to my Chonghua Palace to snatch the stars just now..." When the word "snatch" was mentioned, the coldness in her eyes suddenly grew, and Empress Chen couldn't help shivering again.

"You know what happened to those people."

"However, I am very sympathetic to your regret that you did not see it with your own eyes, so I plan to let you appreciate it again here."

what?
Yun Ruochen's voice was not low, and the two court ladies who were still with Empress Chen could hear them clearly, and they were so frightened that their legs limp and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Yun Ruochen.

It was useless to kowtow, and they were then taken down by the guards who rushed over.

Empress Chen looked at the maids and eunuchs who accompanied her day and night being tied up one by one, she had no choice but to rush out: "I am going to face the saint, I am going to face the saint!"

"Don't worry, let's go after the play."

Yun Ruochen glanced at Ji Jianing from the corner of Yun Ruochen's eyes, and Ji Jianing stepped forward and grabbed Empress Chen's veins with one hand, and pressed lightly, Empress Chen suddenly felt that she had no strength in her whole body.

She, what magic did she use on herself?This maid...

Empress Chen was thrown onto a chair in horror.Ji Jianing thoughtfully helped her move the chair to the front of the hall, and took out a few tendons to tie her hands and feet firmly to the handle and legs of the chair respectively.

"I am the queen! How dare you treat me like this!"

"Empress, don't be angry, we are here to let you enjoy the show."

Yun Ruochen leaned over to her ear with a smile, and at some point in his hand, two sticks were added, swishing them in front of Empress Chen.

I don't know how she did it, Empress Chen only felt pain in both eyes at the same time, and then realized that both eyes were supported by sticks, and she couldn't close them at all.

"Watching a play, you have to concentrate."

Yun Ruochen also took a seat on another chair brought by Ji Jianing, sitting next to Empress Chen, like a daughter watching a play with her stepmother, and asked Ji Jianing to arrange the seat for Xu Heng.

"Eunuch Xu, sit down, such a good show is not often seen."

"The old slave thanked Her Royal Highness for the reward."

Xu Heng sat down half his buttocks on the stool in a good manner, and his eyes fell on the group of palace people who were tied up like pigs and sheep under the steps.

"Queen, have you...have you ever seen a murder?"

The crisp and moving girl's laughter reached Empress Chen's ears, and it became a nightmare that she couldn't get rid of day and night in the second half of her life.

"Kill them all."
