Chapter 14
"My lord, please."

The dragon guards formed two rings around the Regent and King Xi, and the He Yuan Hall was completely surrounded.

But the regent sat aloof, motionless as a mountain.He was still playing with the cup with all his heart, as if he couldn't see that the situation was tense and his life was at stake.

The exquisite and ingenious cup in his hand was crystal clear, shimmering under the candlelight, and was of the same jade quality as the empress dowager's finger.

Suddenly, it fell on the table crisply, not broken, but enough to attract the Queen Mother's attention.

"Look at the Prince Regent's hands shaking, why don't you bring him back to Guangshou Palace to rest in peace."

Guangshou Palace is the residence of the Empress Dowager, so it is not planned to release anyone from the palace.

The regent poured a glass of wine from the pot and drank it all in one gulp.

The entrance is tea, cold and bitter, astringent.

After the strange smell in his throat dissipated, he raised his head and looked at the woman who just passed the late spring standing in the center of He Yuan Hall.

"The queen mother is trying to force the palace?"

"Why did the regent say that?" The queen mother suddenly smiled, pointing to the messy ground with cups and plates, her smile deepened, and there was no longer concealed ambition in her eyes: "Aren't you the ones who forced the palace? It's just civil unrest."

After finishing speaking, she was disgusted by the calm eyes of the Regent Wang Xi, and the same expression of the two uncles and nephews as the late emperor.

"Don't you guys not know what a big mistake you have made? Then let the dragon guard tell you."

"Follow the Queen Mother's order!"

The leader of the dragon guard immediately listed several crimes.

"The imperial concubine murdered the king, King Xi wanted to seize power and usurp the throne, and the regent colluded with Nanxun to treason with the enemy. This crime cannot be punished!"

He took the opportunity to blow a wave of rainbow farts, and did not forget to intimidate him.

"If the Empress Dowager hadn't been prepared for it with her ingenious calculations, the country would not be a country! Today, the Empress Dowager is benevolent and benevolent. Although I pardon you for the death penalty, the living crime is inevitable!"

Hearing this, realizing that the imperial power was about to change, some of the harem concubines who were surprised that they were on the wrong team were really scared, and knelt down and begged for mercy on the spot.

"The concubine is dedicated to you, and has never had any contact with King Xi. The empress dowager is clearly aware!"

"The concubine was sent into the palace as a chess piece by my father. It is true that I can't help it! There is a private letter from the regent in the concubine's palace. I beg the empress dowager to be merciful!"

"The concubine lost her mother since she was a child. Seeing you is like a mother. She always wants to be filial to you and beg you to show mercy. The empress dowager loves this concubine!"

One by one, they scrambled to kneel and climb to the feet of the queen mother, their hair was messed up, their dresses were dirty, and the dignity of the daughter of the family was gone.

The Empress Dowager didn't care about anyone, she raised her foot to kick away the hand that was holding her, and if she couldn't kick it away, she stepped on her feet, and the slender and soft catkins bloomed on the fine pieces of porcelain, dripping with blood and flesh.

It hurts to step on it, so naturally no one dares to offend it.

"What a bunch of little hoofs who don't shed tears without seeing the coffin! It's too late to think of taking refuge in the Empress Dowager now!"

Concubine Gu, who accidentally fell down and was stepped on and cursed at her, now bowed her knees and stood beside the queen mother, flattering her words: "Let the concubine come, don't step on the phoenix foot that hurts the empress. The hand injury of the empress is still You have to take care of it carefully."

The wounds on the Empress Dowager's hands had already been bandaged, and there were fine cloths wrapped between her fingers. She held the new jasper wrench, which was inconvenient to wear, and covered it with her fingers, ignoring Concubine Gu.

It's rare for her to have a little patience, and she can't waste it on unimportant people.

There are more important things right now.

The emperor is dead, so he can only start with the regent King Xi.

"If you obediently confess your sins and reveal the location of the divine seal, for the sake of the late emperor, the Ai family will definitely let you go."

It's just that the regent's mouth is really hard to pry.

"This king doesn't know any kind of divine seal."

"It's He Yuan Hall..." He paused, "Now there are ghost marks all over the place, it's very scary."

Rong Cen, who was about to fall asleep playing the role of the corpse, woke up when he heard this sentence, and almost couldn't help laughing.

As expected of the emperor's uncle, incisive.

Although the friendly army was also scolded, it was obvious that his own people were thick-skinned and they were not affected at all.

On the other hand, the Queen Mother, her mentality is not good, she is so angry that she wants to throw Jasper's fingers.

Rong Cen just waited for her to fall, and he could feel more energetic after hearing the crisp sound.

In the end, she didn't fall!

He didn't grit his silver teeth and say harsh words. How can a person whose anger level explodes every minute on weekdays be so tolerant today?

Rong Cen didn't see the changes in the Empress Dowager's complexion, it was very difficult to calm down his anger.

I just heard her say: "So, the regent has refused to plead guilty?"

There was silence in the hall, and no one responded.

The tense atmosphere became more and more intense, Rong Cen always felt that the Queen Mother was going to go crazy in the next moment, and it was almost time for this drama to end.

But the queen mother smiled and said with a victor's attitude: "What about King Xi?"

Hard bones cannot be chewed, but soft bones are easy to chew.

"Jinyu, your mother and concubine have personally confessed to the crime of regicide, and she asked herself to be hanged in Kangning Palace."

Then, slight footsteps sounded, it should be the Empress Dowager who walked to the table where King Xi was present.

"Jinyu, don't be afraid, the Ai family has sent someone to rescue your mother and concubine, and allowed her to be confined for a year without copying scriptures."

"There have always been rumors in the palace that the Concubine Gui has long wanted to kill the king, but Aijia never believed it. Sister Lu is pure and good by nature, how could she be like that?"

Concubine Lu Gui and King Xi have always had a deep relationship between mother and child, and the Queen Mother mentioned it deliberately, just to take advantage of him.

But King Xi didn't do what she wanted.

"Believe it or not, it's all at the Queen Mother's mouth." The young man's voice was clear and clear, and he looked directly at her, "Isn't the Queen Mother not hurt by the sudden accident of the emperor's brother?"

Not to mention him, Rong Cen also felt weird.

She is the only son of the queen mother, but she is regarded as the number one enemy by the queen mother.

Her mother tried to put her to death countless times.

She has enough reason to suspect that her life experience has been faked.

The queen mother sneered: "The Ai family understands, and King Xi is unwilling to plead guilty."

"It's really pitiful for the parents of the world. She has planned for you for many years, and once she is exposed, she bears the blame alone. Why bother?"

"Since both of you don't want to talk to Aijia, then go to the dark prison and talk to the cruel officials."

The Queen Mother beckoned, "Dragon Guard."

"I will take down all the traitors and rebels!"

The dragon guards flashed their personal sabers and pointed at the two "thief leaders" present.

The sharp sword was unsheathed and clanked.

At the same time, the sound of clashing swords could be heard outside the hall, clanging and clanging.

Someone kicked the corpse of the commander of the Imperial Army straight into the He Yuan Hall, smashing down the table that survived the chaos.

A severed arm rolled to Concubine Gu's feet, causing her to collapse limply on the ground, screaming indiscriminately.

The Queen Mother was also taken aback, but she held on, "Don't gag her yet!"

As soon as the words fell, before she ordered the deployment of defenses, there was a "whoosh", and two feathered arrows flew out of the air, one from the left and the other from the right at the same time, slashing across her cheeks, leaving two bloodstains.

Just a little bit!She will die!

"Protect the Dragon Guard!"

The Empress Dowager couldn't hold back anymore, her legs were weak and trembling, her speech was slurred, as if suffering from aphasia.

And a clear and powerful answer came from outside the hall——

"The dragon guard is here!"
