The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 34 Coma (1)

Hearing this, Emperor Shangxiang's fingers trembled suddenly, almost breaking off the fragile incense. He froze for a second, and looked at Liang Jiugong in shock. Obviously, the news was too unexpected: "What did they catch her for?"

Liang Jiugong saw the unconcealable concern in the emperor's eyes, realized the seriousness of the matter, bowed and said softly: "Probably what they want to replace is all the palace people who have served the second elder brother, not just those in the palace. "

The emperor asked Xiang Shanghao, he was silent for a moment, frowned slightly, and asked again: "Then why did you say that they searched the Qianqing Palace tonight? If you really want to arrest that little maid, shouldn't you go to the Yanxi Palace? "

Liang Jiugong was always paying attention to the emperor's expression, and said in a low voice: "There is indeed a problem with the Yanxi Palace, but it is the Yizhu girl who is good with Miss Jiaorong. She ran out of the Yanxi Palace and said there was an assassin. , the guards standing guard have sealed the Yanxi Palace, but they have never seen Jiaorong girl appear."

Listen, the emperor realized that the situation was a little out of control, his face darkened, he stood there for a while, finally glanced at the hanging portrait of Empress Renxiao on the wall, and walked out of the hall without looking back, with a cold voice : "Go back to Qianqing Palace."

At this time, in Qianqing Palace, because no Jiaorong was found in the search of the palace, Ao Jia and the guards under him suddenly became serious, and a group of people simply gathered in the courtyard of Qianqing Palace, discussing blatantly.

"Boss, we searched everywhere, but we really didn't find that maid." One of the guards said to Ao Jia, with a helpless expression on his face.

"You short-sighted people, you can't even find a court lady! When she comes out at dawn and exposes this matter, all of us will be finished!" Ao Jia scolded the group of young guards in front of her, tightly Frowning, his expression was already a little ferocious.

The guards had no choice but to bow their heads silently and allow him to criticize, but at this moment, a small guard ran from far away, looking very panicked, "It's not good! The emperor is back!"

Hearing this, Ao Jia's eyes widened in disbelief, "What?"

The little guard ran in front of Ao Jia, almost unable to stop, his face was flustered, and he said incoherently: "It's not good, Mr. Ao, the emperor has come from Kunning Palace to Qianqing Palace. It's only a few steps away. arrive."

"It's all because those who went to Yanxi Palace leaked the news. Damn it, you guys hide quickly, don't let the emperor come back and run into you." Ao Jia put away the knife, retreated to the dark place, and pointed at the subordinates. People asked.

Xida is the one with the strongest martial arts among the group. He quickly rushed in from the narrow passage of the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, and with the help of a few wooden buckets piled up by the wall of the backyard, he took two light steps and pulled himself out. Qianqing Palace.

The moment Xida turned out, the door of Qianqing Palace was forcefully pushed open by the accompanying first-class guards.Due to the chaotic situation in the palace tonight, the emperor has been surrounded by two rows of the strongest guards in the Forbidden City since he entered the Qianqing Palace. They are each holding a knife at the moment, and their sharp eagle eyes are vigilantly checking out the danger on both sides.

"Search the palace." The emperor was actually a little tired tonight, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression became darker and darker, "Any guards of the Qianqing Palace who are not supposed to stand guard tonight will be detained in the main hall for interrogation."

"Yes." All the guards accompanying the emperor responded in unison, and then began to search the surroundings with extremely high speed and efficiency.

Not long after, the guards under Ao Jia who were hiding in every corner of Qianqing Palace were searched out one by one, and they were forcibly detained in the main hall.In less than a cup of tea, except for Ao Jia herself and Xida, all the other subordinates who had been stuffed into Qianqing Palace by Ao Jia were found out.

The last thing that was searched was the utility room in the backyard of Qianqing Palace. It was cold, damp and remote. By the time they got here, most of the emperor's guards had already left.There were only two young guards left, trying their best to search the utility room thoroughly, and finally opened the cabinet where Jiaorong was.

At this time, Jiaorong had already fallen asleep in a tired and cold situation. The closet was shady, and Jiaorong was leaning against a corner and hugging her shoulders tightly. to trembling.

The little guard was taken aback when he saw a maid in the cabinet, and exchanged glances with another person beside him: "Why is there a maid in this cabinet?"

Another guard stretched out his hand to the tip of Jiaorong's nose to breathe, and after confirming that Jiaorong was still alive, he said, "Take her to the main hall together."

At the same time, the emperor sat down on the dragon chair in the main hall, brushed off the hot tea in his hand, blew a little, and a pair of deep eyes swept over the group of guards kneeling in front of him one by one.The accompanying guards pressed their knives against the necks of Ao Jia's subordinates from behind, causing them to kneel on the ground and bow their heads, not daring to move any more.

"Have you found it all?" The emperor asked suddenly, his tone extremely cold.

The imperial guard at the front responded respectfully: "If you go back to the emperor, there is only the utility room behind the yard that has not been checked. Please wait a little longer."

Not long after, two young guards walked into the main hall. One of the young guards held Jiao Rong horizontally, walked quickly to the center of the hall, and slightly bowed to report: "Your Majesty, the servant found the treasure in the cabinet in the utility room." An unconscious court lady."

Hearing this, before the emperor had any reaction, these subordinates who were kneeling on the ground and imprisoned could not help but raise their heads.Obviously they also searched the palace before the emperor came back, but they couldn't find the maid, and now they were found by the emperor's accompanying guards. If Ao Jia found out, he would be mad.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and after seeing clearly that the person in the guard's arms was Jiao Rong, the light in his eyes deepened.He slightly raised his hand to signal the little guard to put the jiaorong on the wooden chair next to him. After the little guard put down the jiaorong obediently, he asked, "Your Majesty, do you need the slave to wake up the maid with water?"

Hearing these words, Liang Jiugong's cheeks twitched, he glanced lightly at the emperor's expression, and said to the ignorant little guard: "You don't need to wake up, go to the imperial hospital and invite an imperial doctor."

"Huh?" The little guard didn't quite understand for a while, this is just a palace lady, wouldn't it be enough to wake her up if she was unconscious?Why did she spend so much time hiring an imperial physician?

But the little guard didn't change his mood when he saw the emperor, he probably acquiesced to Liang Jiugong's statement, so he could only answer "yes", turned and walked out of the main hall.

"Tell me, who sent you to do it, what is the purpose, I recruited you now, and I can save you from going to the Punishment Division." The emperor's tone was not too serious, he said it very casually, His gaze was fixed on the unconscious Jiao Rong, and he didn't even look at these people.
