The last three kingdoms

Chapter 572 Wang Yuanji

A thunder, sound like a thunderbolt, woke up Wang Yuanji who was still asleep.

This sleep was a bit long, and the sky was gloomy. Wang Yuanji couldn't tell whether it was morning or dusk. She could only vaguely remember that she was going to visit Sima Zhao, but it happened that Sima Yan came. He graciously inquired about his health, and ordered his servants to bring a bowl of nourishing decoction.

Naturally, Wang Yuanji would not suspect that Sima Yan had ulterior motives, and happily drank the decoction. Wang Yuanji couldn't remember what happened afterwards, but she remembered that she seemed to have had a long and exhausting dream, which lasted until she woke up. Later, Wang Yuanji felt tired in limbs and dizzy in head.

The two maids next to her didn't seem to notice that Wang Yuanji had woken up, they were chatting, and the content of the chat was naturally inseparable from today's changes in the palace.

Wang Yuanji frowned, she seemed to have heard some news about the palace from the words of the two maids, and she couldn't help shouting in a deep voice: "Bold and lowly maid, you are really reckless by chewing your tongue."

The two maids were taken aback, and they both knelt down to beg for mercy: "The queen forgives the sin, and the servants will never dare to speak nonsense, it is indeed the truth."

Wang Yuanji's complexion changed suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her heart, she said: "You guys are telling the truth, what happened outside, if there is half a lie, don't blame me for being ruthless."

How dare the two maids talk nonsense and report everything they know to Wang Yuanji.Although when the incident happened, these maids were all shrunk in the hall and did not dare to go out, but this did not prevent them from knowing the truth, even though the "truth" they knew was still far from the real truth of the incident.

Wang Yuanji was shocked when she heard the news of Sima Zhao's death, but what shocked her even more was that brothers Sima Yan and Sima You fought for the throne, and now Sima You won the victory and imprisoned Sima Yan.

Wang Yuanji couldn't help being angry. She never expected that Sima You and Sima Yan would fight each other for the throne when Sima Zhao's body was still cold. This made her very angry, and she immediately got up to question Sima You.

"Queen..." a court lady murmured, "This servant has also heard a piece of news, but I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Speak, I forgive you for your innocence."

"Queen, I heard people say that King Jin was murdered by the prince, that's why Marquis Wuyang sent troops to the palace and imprisoned the prince and others. This is a rumor in the palace, and I don't know if it's true or not."

In Wang Yuanji's impression, the second son Sima You had a gentle personality and a pure nature. How could he do such a thing? Obviously something stimulated him. If this rumor is true, it is not surprising.

"Where is the prince now?" Wang Yuanji originally planned to go to see Sima You first, but after hearing this, she changed her mind and decided to go to see Sima Yan first.

The palace lady said: "I was imprisoned in the east side hall."

"Let's go to the East Side Hall."

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄
The Dongpian Hall has become a place for temporary detention of prisoners. Sima Yan and a group of high-ranking officials of the Yan Party were imprisoned here. The Dongpian Hall is not too big, and there are only a dozen rooms. Overcrowded.

But Sima Yan's treatment was not bad, he was locked in a room alone.

It was Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo sent by Liu Yin to be in charge of guarding the Dongpian Hall. In order to prevent accidents, Liu Yin specially ordered Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo to go to the Dongpian Hall and keep a close eye on Sima Yan in case his run away.

"Sorry, no one is allowed to meet the prisoners without the order of Marquis Wuyang and Lord Wen." Zhang Le didn't know Wang Yuanji, so naturally he didn't know who she was. When he heard that they wanted to see Sima Yan, he immediately refused.

The maid behind Wang Yuanji scolded loudly: "This is the Queen of Jin, you guys, get out of the way!"

Zhang Le put on a cynical look, and teased: "This is considered to be today's day, and it depends on whether the prince agrees or not."

Wang Yuanji's complexion changed suddenly. It stands to reason that she is the mistress of this palace, and she was blocked by a few small guards. Said: "Forgive me, the queen. These soldiers were called from outside. They don't understand etiquette. Please forgive me. If the queen wants to see the prince, please feel free."

Wang Yuanji was very worried, and naturally she didn't care about it with ordinary soldiers, she hurried into the side hall and saw Sima Yan.

Sima Yan just came back from the palace, don't look at the proud expression on his face in the palace, it's all pretentious for Sima You to see, it proves that Sima Yan is not a character that can be easily defeated, but in fact his He was very anxious inside, if Sima You killed his brother regardless of his brother's affection, Sima Yan might really die soon.

Sima Yan's expression of looking at death like home just now must be very free and easy, but in his heart he is afraid of death. At this moment, he is alone watching the rainstorm outside the window, feeling extremely bad, and he is trying hard to figure out what to do. Escape from birth.

It is impossible to count on Sima You to show kindness. Wen Chuan, the counselor next to Sima You, wants to put himself to death. If he wants to survive, he has to find another way.

Sima Yan thought of his mother, Wang Yuanji. At this moment, besides Wang Yuanji, I really don't know if there is any other possibility.

When he said Cao Cao, Cao Cao would arrive. Just as Sima Yan was thinking about how to see his mother, Wang Yuanji suddenly stood in front of him, which surprised Sima Yan.

"Mother-"

"Don't call me queen mother!" Wang Yuanji said with a look of anger, "How could I give birth to such a rebellious son like you!"

Sima Yan knelt down in front of Wang Yuanji with a plop, and wept, "Mother, please listen to my son. You can swear to the heavens that I did not kill my father, and I have never thought of killing my father. I beg my mother Mingchao."

Wang Yuanji's expression softened slightly, and she said, "What are the details, tell me."

Sima Yan knelt down and said: "Mother, the father is very kind to the child, how dare the child feel unfilial, when the child rushed to the palace yesterday, it was the time when the father was dying, and the child heard that the father intends to pass the throne to You brother, Temporary righteous indignation, so I lost control of my emotions, but the father died of a serious illness, not the child's intentional harm, and the father's condition in the past few days can only be proved by the mother, the conscience of heaven and earth, the child must not be unfaithful, filial and unkind An unrighteous person. In order to eliminate future troubles, Taofu wanted to put the child to death, so he deliberately planted it, and begged the queen mother to save me—”
