Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 41 The feeling of being framed
Outside the window lattice, the rain of flowers was like a dream. A Xi took advantage of the morning light to roll up the thin curtains, and the faint fragrance of the residual red after the rain touched her resentful mood.

Half a month has passed, and Minggong, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has never set foot in Baosi's Jianjia Palace again. An imperial edict came from the inner court, ordering Concubine Bao to confine herself in the palace, but she did not say what the crime was. However, there is one thing Ah Xi never dared to disclose the matter to Bao Si. Every day, a group of eunuchs and maids whom she had never met would gather around the walls of Jian Jia Palace and curse. Bao Si occasionally heard it and asked her what was going on. She would say with a playful face, It was the court ladies who were quarreling. Although she was very happy, whenever there was no one around, Axi would cry secretly by herself.

"Axi, what's the matter, what about the unfinished book that I put on the table yesterday?" Bao Si asked kindly from the dormitory.

"Oh, my lord, I'll bring it to you." Axi wiped away his tears with all his strength, and then continued to happily lower the thin curtain with the washing utensils.

"Concubine Bao hasn't made trouble these few days?" Ming Gong, who was secretly standing under the old locust tree at the foot of the palace wall not far away, seriously asked Xiao Hai, the maid who was following her.

"Back to Lord Long Live, it seems that, apart from talking to herself sometimes, Mrs. Bao still plays the piano and reads books, without any emotional actions." Xiao Hai replied cautiously.

"Hi!" Mingong gently caressed the jade railing, and sighed, "A Si, you are really embarrassing me."

"What? Your Majesty went to Jianjia Palace secretly again today, but still didn't go in?" At dusk, in the dark Chonghua Palace, the arrogant and domineering Concubine Jin received news from An Zhen again.

"That's right, master, since Bao Si contradicted the king last time, the king hasn't gone to Jianjia Palace." An Zhen smiled wryly.

"Oh? There is such a thing, Bao Si dares to contradict the king, what is going on?" Jin Huangfei asked curiously.

"I want to report to your empress, the king originally wanted Baosi to admit his mistake to the queen, to admit that he was confused and asked for an official for someone else, and then turned it into a small matter, and was punished by being downgraded a little, but Baosi has a stubborn personality. , and always refused to admit that he was bribed by Uncle Sun, the king was annoyed for a while, so he ordered Jianjia Palace to be grounded." Anzhen reported [-].

"It seems that this Bao Si is really ignorant of current affairs. The lightest punishment for meddling in the harem is to revoke her title and be thrown into the cold palace forever. The king has already given her an extra-judicial favor and dealt with it lightly. I didn't expect her to go the same way. In the dark?" Imperial Concubine Jin sneered.

"But empress, judging from the current situation, the king is absolutely devoted to Bao Si, no matter how we play tricks, we won't budge." An Zhen said anxiously.

"Well, I understand that your Majesty has been completely stunned by this vixen. Now that Uncle Sun is still on the knife rack, we will continue to blow the wind to the ministers of the ruling and opposition parties, and at the same time, we will take a draught from the bottom of the pot." Imperial Concubine Jin Speaking of this, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Draw the bottom of the pot?" An Zhen's expression turned strange. "Young master Dig Tu, Anzhen, immediately find a messenger in the army for this palace to secretly inform Dig Tu who is far away at the border of Baosi's confinement. I have to take a good look at it." It's a good show!" Imperial Concubine Jin looked at An Zhen and smiled cunningly.

Thousands of miles away, war horses neighed, swords towered, Dug Tu and Cheng Rong's painstaking plan to lure the enemy really succeeded, and the anxious Dog Rong wolf master heard that Zhou's army moved forward, and immediately ordered General Boding to lead one hundred thousand cavalry to attack , Amidst the shouts of killing, the Zhou army retreated in a row, cattle, horses, pigs and sheep were thrown everywhere. Just as the dogs and cavalry were happily capturing the spoils, the Zhou army soldiers and horses who had already ambushed attacked from all fronts. Under the eyelids of the northern iron cavalry, a huge and mighty arrow array was laid out. Thousands of soldiers killed loudly, and the artillery and stones flew together. Open the gap, but heard the sound of a cannon, the horses flew like flying, and a young general with a purple gold crown on his head and holding a Fangtian painted halberd shot out from the slanting stab, feeling very energetic.

Boding recognized it as Qutu, roared, raised his sword and killed, the two sides fought for a hundred rounds in a row, Boding was defeated, and led the remnant soldiers to flee in a hurry.

"Young Master Qutu!" Quetu was about to pursue, but he found a large banner with the word Cheng written on it.

"Mr. Jutu, don't chase after poor bandits. Although Boding was defeated, Quanrong is a big country, and there must be support behind him." Cheng Rong took the lead and waved his hands to dissuade him.

"Well, the doctor is right, we wiped out more than ten thousand enemies this time, and the king will be very happy after the squadron returns to the court." Ju Tu raised his eyebrows happily.

That night, the whole army enjoyed good wine and meat, and the gongs and drums blared to celebrate the great victory. The people on the frontier ate pots and pulp, and came to work in the army one after another. When Qutu was announcing military discipline, suddenly a black shadow hurried past the left side of Qutu, Secretly put a letter in Que Tu's bosom.

Que Tu was startled, and quickly opened the letter, seeing that it didn't matter, immediately burst into tears, and was so anxious, Cheng Rong saw Qu Tu's complexion suddenly changed, and hurried over to ask, Qu Tu secretly pulled Cheng Rong aside, and said in a low voice : "I don't know who sent me this letter, saying that Bao Si was framed for meddling in politics, and has been sentenced to death by the king, and she is about to be executed. Doctor, is this true?"

Cheng Rong asked strangely: "Mr. Jutu, who sent this letter, and what's his intention?" How can I be relieved?" Que suddenly became anxious, and immediately stamped his feet and beat his chest.

Cheng Rong comforted: "My lord, since Miss Baosi is really in danger, it's better for you to come back as soon as possible. In my opinion, it's not as good as this. I'll take care of the military affairs for you. My lord will leave now, secretly go ahead How about returning to Beijing?"

"Then thank you very much, doctor!" Without further ado, Qu Tu ordered An Tong a little, pulled the reins of the claret horse, and galloped away with a whistling sound.
