Raid

Chapter 315 Accountability
Zhou Lingwang nodded.

Jiang Muyi seemed to have thought of something, and continued: "If something happens to me, what should you do?"

Originally, she could be sure that Emperor Yuan Jia would not kill her, but if it was really Yuhua Pill, she could not be sure.

Although Zhou Lingwang lived in the palace relying on Zhou Lingwen's name, in fact, all food and lodging was in her palace.

If something happened to her and she was deposed or ordered to die, then where would Zhou Lingwang go?
Maybe no one will care about her living in the palace, but the world often sees the wind and turns the rudder, and she is afraid that it will be difficult for her to stay in the palace.

If she returns to the Zhou family again, I'm afraid there won't be any good results. She doesn't think the Zhou family will show mercy to Zhou Lingwang.

"Then... please ask the empress to give me some gold and silver. After leaving the palace, I will have a place to live." Zhou Lingwang half-jokingly said.

Jiang Muyi chuckled lightly, and continued: "Actually, it's also a solution."

Zhou Lingwang also smiled slightly.

In fact, sometimes Jiang Muyi can't understand Zhou Lingwang. She is a noble daughter of the Zhou family, but it seems that she never takes her family status to heart.

She is like a mountain wind, a hollow cloud, free to come and go.

She later sent someone to investigate Zhou Lingwang, and found some superficial things.Zhou Lingwang is cold and withdrawn, but he seems to believe in Buddhism, and he often goes to nunneries and temples.

But observing Zhou Lingwang's behavior, Jiang Muyi didn't feel that Zhou Lingwang was a Buddhist believer.

She is more like wanting to use Buddha to hinder the world of mortals.It was only later that she didn't know what touched her heartstrings and made her return to the world of mortals, and she was a seller as soon as she entered.

However, in this world of mortals, in this decadent and chaotic world, there are actually many things that can touch people's hearts, and there is no need to pursue them.

Early the next morning, Emperor Yuan Jia woke up.Although he woke up, his illness was not healed, and he still had a headache when he got up early, so he stopped going to bed early, went back to sleep for a while, and when he woke up again, he felt a lot more comfortable.

The servant in the hall brought breakfast over, and after he had finished his breakfast, he suddenly asked, "Who knows? Why are you two?"

I don't know what happened after taking the medicine last night, and whether the queen noticed it.

The waiter dared not answer.

Emperor Yuan Jia couldn't help asking a few more questions at this moment.

"Guanjian entered the palace privately with weapons, committed a murder in the empress's palace, killed a court lady, and was executed on the spot by the guards of Qingning Palace."

"What did you say?" Emperor Yuan Jia couldn't believe it, he scolded: "It's nonsense, why do you know what he is carrying weapons for privately?"

"Your maidservant dare not lie to the Holy Majesty." The servant knelt down on the ground, and he continued to speak: "Everyone knows about this matter. The Empress asked His Highness the King of Wu to control the gate of the palace in order to prevent the supervisors from making trouble. People come in and out."

"When did this happen?"

"Yesterday morning."

Emperor Yuan Jia's face darkened in an instant, and just as he was about to speak, a servant came in, "Your Majesty, the empress is begging to see you."

"Biography—" Emperor Yuan Jia said in a low voice.

Jiang Muyi walked in quickly and saluted Emperor Yuan Jia.

Emperor Yuan Jia looked at the woman in front of him, but for a moment he couldn't see through her.

They have been married for five years and have known each other since they were young.She has always been a very qualified concubine. Although she was sometimes disobedient after entering the palace, she could still explain it.

With him, Jiang Muyi has always presented himself with an understanding, gentle and sensible image.But he never thought that when he was still so strong, he acted swiftly and resolutely. He was only in a coma for two days, and when he woke up again, Guan Zhi died.

He never seemed to see past his queen.

Emperor Yuan Jia looked at her condescendingly, but Jiang Muyi didn't move at all.

"I just wanted someone to call you, but you came by yourself."

"I don't know why the Holy Majesty called his ministers and concubines?" Jiang Muyi was still respectful and submissive, as if he hadn't changed at all.

"I don't know?" Emperor Yuan Jia's voice was calm at first, but who knows, the next moment he swept off the porcelain vase on the short table, and the porcelain vase fell to the ground at Jiang Muyi's feet and gave birth to flowers.

He said sharply: "Jiang Muyi, you are so courageous!"

After several years of marriage, this was the first time he called out her full name.

"Do you know that Guan Zhi is someone close to me, even if he is guilty, it should be dealt with by me, when will it be your turn to do it for me? Join the guards, the palace ban kills people, what else do you not know and dare not do? If you dare to kill him today, will you dare to kill me tomorrow?"

"The concubine dare not." Jiang Muyi knelt down, she was still neither humble nor overbearing, and there was no trace of fear in her voice. Under the appearance of being respectful and docile, she was actually extremely tenacious. In the court of concubines, the palace maids were brutally murdered, if the canonical punishment is not known, what is the law of the country?"

"You're presumptuous! You... you've actually taught me now." Emperor Yuan Jia looked at her like this, and his heart became even more angry. He pulled her up from the ground, "You are the emperor of me in your heart. Where do you put it, are you the only one in this world who knows the laws of the country? Or, do you think that my life is not long, and there is no way to make him a canon and punish you? Do you dare to say that you didn't kill him because of personal hatred?"

The empress and Guan Zhi didn't get along, he knew it early on.The two criticized each other, and he just listened to it.The queen was his concubine when he was young, and it was impossible for him to dethrone her for a eunuch.In the same way, Guan Zhi is the person who knows his heart the most in this world, so he can't kill him easily.He has been seeking balance between the two sides all the time, but he didn't expect such a result to happen!
The warmth of yesterday seems to have become a joke today.

His first wife, even when he was unconscious, disregarded his wishes and directly killed his confidant, how could he not be angry.

A fire called "betrayal" ignited from the bottom of his heart, and he violently pushed the woman in front of him away.

Jiang Muyi fell to the ground, and her right knee directly knelt on the tile, her white and delicate hands subconsciously tried to support the floor, but hit the broken tile, blood flowed out.

Emperor Yuan Jia didn't notice all this at all, he looked at Jiang Muyi, wanting to see what kind of defense she could say.

Unexpectedly, seeing a teary face, Emperor Yuan Jia was taken aback, he hadn't seen her cry for a long time.She even said that she almost never shed tears.

Jiang Muyi is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, seemingly weak and charming, but he refuses to show weakness to others easily.

"The concubine killed him not only because of the law of the country, but also because of personal enmity. Your Majesty knows, who is the maid he killed in Qingning Palace? It was lovesickness! Lovesickness!"

"Xiangsi..." He was slightly taken aback, he knew about Xiangsi, Xiangsi was Jiang Muyi's dowry, he grew up with her, and had a close relationship with her.

Guan Zhi actually killed Acacia.Emperor Yuan Jia complained for a while.No matter how impulsive it is, it's not good to kill anyone, but even killed Xiangsi, the queen didn't like him in the first place, how could the queen not hate him if he killed Xiangsi!

"Then you shouldn't act so boldly! Even if he kills Xiangsi, I will definitely not let him go after I wake up, so why are you so anxious?" Emperor Yuan Jia's tone softened a bit, but his words remained It's unstoppable anger.

Not only because Guan Zhi is his beloved courtier, but also because Guan Zhi is the person he serves closely. If the queen behaves like this, where does he put his face?Where will he be placed!

"He committed crimes in the concubine's palace, he killed Xiangsi first, how could he know that the concubine would not be the next one to strike."

"You can just capture him. He is just a servant. How can he break free from the guards of Qingning Palace and commit murder? Empress, empress, are you worried that I won't kill him?"

Jiang Muyi remained silent, of course he was worried about this, if he was willing to kill Guan Zhi, how many times had Guan Zhi died, how could he still be able to let her kill him?

Seeing her silence, Emperor Yuan Jia knew that she had acquiesced, and was annoyed again.One is that Jiang Muyi doesn't believe her, and the other is that Jiang Muyi still wants to kill Guan Zhi knowing that he values ​​Guan Zhi.

"You are my wife and my queen. You have always read poetry and books. Haven't you learned the three cardinal principles and five constant principles? Can't you consider everything for me? Queen, you are just a queen, and I am the emperor!"

Emperor Yuan Jia staggered a little bit under his fury, he sat down, propped his head, his breath was disordered, and he said angrily: "You, you, go back to your Qingning Palace, without my edict, you are not allowed to come out."

Hearing these words, Jiang Muyi stood up with all her strength, the brocade on her knees was already stained red with blood, she didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly left the Tai Chi Hall, her posture was staggering, but her spine was straight.

After returning to Qingning Palace, the palace staff hurriedly supported Jiang Muyi to sit down, and they gave her medicine.

Jiang Muyi was slightly lost in thought, and said some half-truths and half-truths, even if today's test is passed, at least her life is saved.

She is not afraid of being grounded, even if it is grounded, the palace is still under her control, she just cannot get out, but news can still enter the gate of Qingning Palace.

In fact, let alone other people coming in, it is not difficult for her to go out.

The guards of Qingning Palace killed the eunuch together with her. From then on, they were considered to be on the same boat as her, and they would not stop her.

It's just that she doesn't want to go out for the time being. In the current situation, she will definitely be pushed up by Mrs. Zhou, so there is no need to rush to jump in front of Mrs. Zhou.After a while, when she has completely turned the servant supervisor into her own use, then even if she meets Zhou Shi, she will have confidence in everything.I just don't know if anything else will happen these days.

Jiang Muyi sighed deeply. Back then, why did the Zhou family and the eunuchs choose Xiao Zeqing as the king?
After the death of the first emperor, although the Zhou family was much weaker, they were not comparable to the eunuchs. The situation of the eunuchs was even more serious at that time.

She understood that the Zhou family wanted to choose an incompetent emperor, but since she wanted to choose a puppet, why not choose a timid one?
Xiao Zeqing is incompetent, but not cowardly.

If not, he wouldn't have helped the eunuch suppress the Zhou family who supported him.

And Xiao Zeqing, why is there a merit of "courage" alone?
The stall he took over was actually not bad.

According to the planning of the late emperor and the clan, the aristocratic family is not enough to cover the sky with one hand. As for the eunuchs, they depend on the emperor for their existence.

If he could order the eunuchs to be killed from the beginning, then he would be able to gain the support of Gu Lingxu and the conviction of the clan Qingliu.With these two, you can wrestle with the aristocratic family.

For the rest of the day, he doesn't even need to do anything, he just needs to quietly wait for the family to make mistakes, and then he can eradicate them in one fell swoop.

To say it was difficult, Emperor Hongxing of the Southern Jin Dynasty was much more difficult than him.
