The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

159 Chapter 2
Hearing the words, the young guard sighed, "Hey, in this harem, the emperor loves you so much."

The older guard snorted coldly after hearing the words: "You are wrong. In this harem, the empress dowager is the biggest, who made the empress dowager the emperor's mother! It's a pity that the empress dowager passed away many years ago, and a dead person cannot protect the palace. This one."

The two guards chatted unscrupulously, and in the closed door, the conversation between the two had been heard verbatim.

Inside the gate, Eunuch Wang's old face was pale with fright, and he could barely hold the hot wine in his hand. At this moment, he could not care less about currying favor with the two gate guards, and he just wanted to tell Empress Wu the shocking news he heard as soon as possible.

Hearing the hurried footsteps coming from the door, the two attendants looked at each other with strange smiles on their faces.

Eunuch Wang rushed all the way into the main hall and said, "Empress Empress, something is wrong."

Empress Wu was sitting on the wind seat with a pale face at the moment, she was holding the hand stove in her hand, staring at the hand stove in her hands in a daze, and she didn't wake up until Wang Gonggong's exclamation sounded, and she raised her head slightly unexpectedly Said: "Eunuch Wang, why are you shouting so much?"

Eunuch Wang came to his senses at the words of the queen's majesty. He looked at the maids serving in the palace, and said to the maids: "You all step down."

The maids did not dare to show their anger, so they saluted and exited the main hall one by one. Lady Su walked last. At this moment, Eunuch Wang said again: "Su Qing, you are guarding outside the door. No one is allowed to come near. I have something important to do. Discuss with the empress."

"Yes." Lady Su responded meekly, and retreated outside the hall to wait.

"Eunuch Wang, what happened to make you lose your composure?" Empress Wu looked outside the palace and frowned displeasedly.

Eunuch Wang went up to Empress Wu, and then said softly: "Empress, this servant just wanted to give a pot of hot wine to the guards outside the door, hoping to pull them away, but before the wine was sent out, this servant came from their room. During the conversation, I learned that the emperor is going to abolish you, and the imperial decree after the abolition has been drawn up, and we are waiting for the seal to be affixed and announced to the outside world."

Empress Wu was startled when she heard this, the hand stove in her hand fell to the ground, and the fiery charcoal inside immediately burned several black holes in the carpet embroidered with the pattern of birds and phoenixes on the floor.

But Empress Wu didn't mess up because of this. After the panic, she calmed down again. She had been married for many years, and she knew Chengdi fairly well. With his temperament, she knew that Ruan Xueying's death in the sea of ​​flames was planned by her, and she definitely wouldn't let it go. After her, abolishing the empress is like what he would do, but abolishing the empress is not something he can abolish just as he says. There are many ministers in the court who support the Wu family. They will definitely not let her, the empress, fall. Instead, Empress Wu calmed down and said: "Don't mess up your position because of some people's ulterior motives. The emperor just wants to abolish the palace. As long as the ministers intercede, it will not be so easy to abolish the queen. The most urgent thing is to find a way first. Get in touch with Big Brother Bengong."

Eunuch Wang obviously believed the words of the two guards. Seeing that the queen had no sense of the imminent crisis, he said eagerly: "Your Majesty, there is no news of the deposed empress in the palace, even the emperor vomited blood. It was rumored that the guard had a good friend who served the emperor. She overheard the emperor and Prime Minister Zhong discussing the matter of abolishing the Empress. It is said that Concubine Wangui took the opportunity to say a lot of bad things about the empress, so that the emperor was determined to abolish you. "

As soon as Eunuch Wang mentioned Concubine Wangui, Empress Wu's expression changed instantly. She was sure that Concubine Wangui must have been ordered by the Imperial Concubine and Li Sister-in-law to gossip in front of Emperor Cheng. There is no way to get any contact with the outside world, and there is no way to get a confirmation of the authenticity of the abolition of the Empress. If she ignores it, once the abolition of the Empress is true, the end she is waiting for is to be thrown into the cold palace , imprisoned for a lifetime, if the abolishment of the Empress is false, if she acts rashly, she may offend Emperor Cheng, and the loss outweighs the gain.

All of a sudden, Empress Wu fell into an unprecedented panic. In the past, her eyeliner was all over the entire harem, and she would analyze the most favorable solution based on the news she got when she did anything. Now she can't get any news. It's like walking into the darkness, you can't see your fingers, and you don't dare to take a step when you stand still, because it is very likely that she will take a step, and that step may be a step on the air, and then fall into the bottomless abyss.

Eunuch Wang watched anxiously from the sidelines. He is Empress Wu's man. Good Empress Wu, his value in the palace will naturally rise. Not wanting to fall into such a miserable end, he suddenly thought of what the two guards said, rolled his shrewd old eyes, and then said with an extremely depressed expression: "Hey, it would be great if the empress dowager was still here, she definitely won't Seeing you being wronged empress so much, even the emperor would not dare to despise you empress."

Eunuch Wang's words didn't make Empress Wu break free from her panic. She answered very displeasedly: "They are all people who have been dead for many years. What's the use of talking about it now? If a dead person can keep the palace safe , then I can really sit back and relax."

Hearing the words, Eunuch Wang immediately put on an appearance of admitting his mistake and continued to speak in succession: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it was the servant who made a mistake. The servant just sighed. After all, the queen mother is the emperor's mother, and she has the most honorable status in this harem. I have to listen to what the Empress Dowager said, because I was worried about the situation of the empress, so I sighed for a while, but it upset the empress."

Since ancient times, there is a saying that the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. At this moment, Eunuch Wang made such a statement deliberately, and Empress Wu also paid attention to this sentence as he wished.Thinking of her current situation, Empress Wu thought of Eunuch Wang's words again, a murderous thought flashed through her mind, and finally her heavy feelings for Emperor Cheng made her dispel that terrible thought very quickly.

After Eunuch Wang witnessed the momentary mood change of Empress Wu, he wisely stopped speaking, because he knew that if he hinted again at this time, the unintentional words he deliberately created before would become deliberate, angering the Empress, and instead It's asking for trouble.

"Call Su Qing in, I'm tired, and I want to go back to the bedroom to rest for a while." The pain in her heart made Empress Wu's face turn pale, and she gave orders to Eunuch Wang weakly.

Since being kicked by Emperor Cheng, the central palace has been guarded immediately, people inside can't get out, people outside can't get in, and there is no imperial doctor to see Empress Wu's internal injuries, now she can only hold on .

Eunuch Wang responded softly, then called Su Qing into the hall and said: "Your Majesty is not feeling well, help your Majesty to rest for a while, and serve you carefully."
