Before exile, the imperial concubine emptied the palace

Chapter 3
Before leaving the capital, Lin Xiaoyue was stopped by the palace guards again.

She looked at the guard in front of her suspiciously, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"The emperor's life is here, so I have nothing to say!" The guards began to search her baggage without saying a word, and even searched Lin Xiaoyue's body once.

Lin Xiaoyue guessed that the things she stole were found, but the guards dared to search them in public. She angrily pushed away the approaching guards and cursed: "Don't you think I'm not miserable enough? Get out!"

"I'm sorry, something happened in the palace. You can't leave the city today, so you'll be locked up in the prison of the Shuntian government office for now." The guards only found some clothes, silver and jewelry from the baggage. Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was so thin, she couldn't hide it. Not seeing so many things lost in the palace, they returned the burden to Lin Xiaoyue, and then walked away.

In this way, Lin Xiaoyue was imprisoned in the Shuntian government office again.

In the palace, Emperor Liang's anger was almost reaching the roof at the moment. First, he went to copy the guards of Jinxiu Palace and came back to report that the entire Jinxiu Palace was empty and spotless; After eating, the director of the Imperial Hospital came to apologize in person, saying that someone had stolen all the medicinal materials in the entire Imperial Hospital; and the manager of the grain depot said with a pale face that the granary was empty as soon as he came in!
Who in the end can take things out of the palace without anyone noticing?
In fact, Lin Xiaoyue was the first thing he thought of. After all, he gave her the most honor and favor, and now he exiled her to the north. It would be like falling from heaven to hell, even more cruel than taking her life!
Lin Xiaoyue must hate him to death!
At this time, the sent guards hurried in and saluted: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have searched the sinful concubine Lin Xiaoyue and her palace, and found nothing abnormal."

Emperor Liang's manic heart instantly cooled down. If it wasn't this woman, who else would it be?
If Lin Xiaoyue is his favorite woman, then Liang Jieqiong is definitely the most powerful woman in the harem!Lin Xiaoyue has been in the palace for a short time and has no foundation, but Liang Jieqiong is not that simple. She is not only the lord of the harem but also the daughter of Duke Zhen, so it is too easy for her to bribe someone!
What's more, the storeroom of Jinxiu Palace is full of her dowry, and any one you take out is priceless, that storehouse can be said to be incomparably rich!

Could it be that Jieqiong had expected it a long time ago, and then hid it in advance?

"Show the cold palace!" Liang Di stood up abruptly and walked towards the harem.

In the cold palace, when Liang Jieqiong heard that Emperor Liang came, she thought that Emperor Liang had changed his mind, so she quickly straightened her clothes and went out to greet her, "Welcome to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Emperor Liang stepped forward and kicked Liang Jieqiong who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Say! Where did you hide everything?"

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Liang Jieqiong gritted her teeth, holding back the pain, and asked in confusion.

Emperor Liang said with a cold face: "Where are the things in the Jinxiu Palace warehouse? There are also my imperial dining room, granary, imperial hospital, Liang Jieqiong, do you want to evacuate my palace?"

Liang Jieqiong looked at Emperor Liang in shock, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think my dowry is gone?"

The more Emperor Liang looked at the woman in front of him, the more disgusted he felt, especially this contrived posture, afraid that others would not know that she was just pretending!

"Liang Jieqiong, you don't have to pretend anymore. I will give you one last chance. If you hand over everything, I will let you spend your old age in this cold palace. Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering old love!"

Liang Jieqiong realized that the emperor wanted to kill her this time, but she really didn't know where it was!

But she can't die, what should her eldest prince do if she dies?
She frantically grabbed Emperor Liang's clothes and begged, "Your Majesty, I really didn't do it. I was wronged! We have been husband and wife for many years, you must believe me!"

"Let's do it for ourselves!" Emperor Liang shook off Liang Jieqiong's hand in disgust, and strode away from the cold palace.

Returning to Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Liang still couldn't swallow his breath. As the majestic king of a country, it is unreasonable for someone to dare to hide the truth from him, and this person is his queen!

He paced back and forth in the hall, and finally pointed at the door and ordered: "Come here! Invite Lord Zhen Guo into the palace!"

The guards were ordered to go out immediately.

After a while, Lord Zhen walked into the Hall of Qinzheng with heavy steps. Although he knew what had happened to his daughter on the way, he still respected the courtesy of a monarch and minister, knelt on the ground and said: "The old minister has seen the emperor. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Emperor Liang didn't let him get up, and said directly: "The empress secretly hid the memorial for the establishment of the crown prince, do you know?"

Duke Zhen really wanted to scold Emperor Liang bloody, thinking that when the first emperor established the crown prince, if he hadn't strongly supported the emperor in front of him, who would be the emperor now!

Unexpectedly, Emperor Liang abolished his daughter's queen position just for such a trivial matter. It seems that Emperor Liang has long been dissatisfied with them!

But think about it, no matter who holds a million soldiers, it is not as good as Emperor Liang himself!
Lord Zhen lowered his head to cover up his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I hope the emperor will forgive you for doing something stupid!"

Emperor Liang sneered, the old fox was really cunning, and wanted to pass by lightly!

"Of course I'm not that small-bellied person, but the empress evacuated all of my palace, Lord Zhen, what do you think I should do?"

Duke Zhen's heart tightened. How can he not know what kind of person his daughter is?
And evacuating the palace doesn't mean rebellion?The emperor is forcing their family to death!

"Your Majesty, this old minister believes that there is something wrong with this matter, and I hope that the Emperor can see clearly!"

Emperor Liang didn't know how to investigate. He wanted the military power in Duke Zhen's hands a long time ago, and he could confiscate the property of Duke Zhen's mansion. This is simply serving multiple purposes!

He narrowed his eyes dangerously, and scolded angrily: "Check? Does Zhen Guogong think that I am wronging you? Don't think that you are the late emperor's Minister of Gu Ming, so I dare not do anything to you?"

Zhen Guogong's heart sank into the sea in an instant, and it seemed that he couldn't escape today!

Now that the emperor's wings are hardened and his ambition is bigger, no matter how loyal they are in the government of Zhenguo, the emperor is no longer satisfied with this!

He knocked his head heavily on the ground three times, and said confidently: "The old minister dare not! But the old minister followed the late emperor through life and death. His loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth, and he will never do anything rebellious!"

Emperor Liang was most annoyed to hear the word "Xiandi", he turned around and walked to the desk and sat down, "Duke Zhen Guo has made great contributions to assisting the government, but I think you are old and it is no longer suitable to work on military affairs. Today you Just hand over the tiger talisman. In addition, the queen's death penalty can be avoided, and all property of the Zhen Guogong Mansion is now confiscated, and the queen will be demoted to a commoner and immediately leave the palace!"

Duke Zhen felt that something had collapsed, leaving only two words in his head - it's over!Thinking about his life as a soldier and bloody battle for the country, but now it ended in such a bleak way?
"I object!"

A loud voice came from outside the hall, Duke Zhen was overjoyed, and when he turned his head, he saw a familiar figure.
