Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 493
Minggong's thoughts suddenly moved forward to enjoy the snow in the back garden yesterday, and indeed he saw Jinggui and Meigui dressed extraordinarily coquettishly and not plainly when they went out.

"It's strange, Song Guiren just came to pay his respects, why did he say something completely different from you?" Ming Gong asked suspiciously.

"Oh, my concubine understands. When the empress summoned her concubines today, she was indeed dressed very plainly. Song Guiren was always taught by the empress, so he painted a gourd accordingly." Concubine Jiang suddenly realized.

"Xiao Ruzi, what day is it today?" Ming Gong frowned deeply, staring at Xiao Ruzi wonderingly.

"My lord, nothing happened today." Xiao Ruzi said tremblingly.

"Bastard, it's okay, why is the harem so simple?" Mingong suddenly asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Oh, Your Majesty, isn't today the memorial day for Sir Jugtu's death at the border?" Xiao Ruzi quickly knelt down and hesitated.

"Check, find Taishi Ling for me, and check the date immediately!" Ming Gong's face sank, and he ordered Xiao Ruzi angrily.

Xiao Ruzi didn't dare to be negligent, so he immediately called for Taishi Ling, checked the date, and found that today is indeed the memorial day for those killed in battle!

"It turns out that she still thinks about him. After so many years, she is still the same. Even rumors and gossips cannot do without him!" Mingong suddenly became cold. He stood up unconsciously, pushed Xinyue away, and took a step forward. Slowly stepped out of Jiangxue Pavilion.

"My plan has succeeded!" Concubine Jiang finally secretly showed a bloodthirsty smile in the dark corner of the Jiangxue Pavilion bedroom.

"I don't know how to do it, empress, my concubine met Concubine Jiang yesterday. She falsely said that the king likes the frugal and elegant palace people, and persuaded my concubine to wear plain clothes to compete with the nobleman Xin. Unexpectedly, all this, It turned out to be Concubine Jiang's treacherous scheme!" The morning sun of the next day in Jianjia Palace became extremely dazzling, and the eunuch who declared the decree suddenly visited Jianjia Palace and announced the imperial decree of Ming Gong, temporarily suspending the Queen's right to govern the affairs of the Six Palaces, and suddenly realized that Song Dynasty Through Xinyue's mouth, the nobleman immediately realized that he had been fooled by Concubine Jiang, and rushed to Jianjia Palace crying and complaining to Baosi.

"Song nobleman, get up, people's hearts are sinister, and it's not your fault. This palace just didn't expect that after so many years, Concubine Jiang still seizes on Dutu, grabs this palace, spreads rumors, slanders Let's do it." Bao Si murmured, frowning blankly.

"My lord, Concubine Jiang is right. She may take advantage of the fire and continue to persecute and attack us. As the saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and my lord should take precautions early." Axi said anxiously.

"Master Cheng Rong, it seems that the only thing we can do now is to ask for the help of Master Cheng Rong. If you want to stop Concubine Jiang and her gang from spreading rumors in the capital, you must ask Master Cheng Rong to think of a way." Mingyue suggested.

"Okay, as long as the scope of this matter does not exceed the harem, it's okay to ask Master Cheng Rong for help, Axi, then please send a letter to Master Cheng Rong!" Bao Si thought hard, and immediately took a pen and wrote on the letter paper A line of words was written on it, and he carefully handed it over to Axi. Without saying a word, Axi put on a cloak and disappeared into the night.

It was already midnight at this time, and the fast horse was galloping on the street. Suddenly, I felt the horse's hooves slip, and I was tripped by an iron chain. Axi took advantage of the situation and jumped to the ground. The cold blade has covered her hair.

"No, it's an assassin!" Axi was taken aback, and quickly lowered his head, a few tufts of hair flew up in the wind, and three muscular men in black attacked Axi from different angles.

"Whoosh!" At the critical moment, a Qingfeng sword roared in mid-air, killing two of the assassins in an instant, and the remaining assassins screamed, and summoned five masked killers to besiege Ah Xi. The Qingfeng sword made a bend in the air, and landed in the hands of a stalwart man wearing a mask, and was immediately swung like a god.

"Girl, let's go!" Ah Xi was watching blankly, when suddenly the masked man shouted at her.

"Oh!" Axi took the opportunity to jump on the steed, and ran away without a trace.

The Cheng Mansion was in darkness. Before the gate, a fast horse suddenly ran up, and a young woman sat on it, and went straight to the door to call. The housekeeper heard the signal, and quietly opened the side door, letting Axi wait in the hall. Soon, Cheng Rong appeared in front of Axi.

"What's the matter, Miss Axi, that you need to come for help late at night?" Cheng Rong looked at Axi and asked straight to the point.

"Master Cheng, something happened to the empress! Concubine Jiang used treacherous tricks to deceive the king into suspecting that the empress is plotting something wrong. It seems that the empress will be abolished before dawn!" Axi panted, and said anxiously.

"Miss Axi, you don't have to worry, the king is only angry for a while, even if the empress is abolished, he will change his mind in the future." Cheng Rong said calmly.

"But, Mrs. Cheng, Concubine Jiang will not give us a chance to breathe. Now she is watching people inside and outside the palace. What if she sends someone to kill the empress?" Axi asked anxiously.

"Don't be afraid, Miss Axi, I'm going to prepare now, and I'll go to the Shuilong Shuren Hall to wait before dawn." Cheng Rong comforted.

On the next day, Ming Gong's royal driver came to the Shuilong Shuren Hall and announced that the morning ceremony would be held in the Shuilong Shuren Hall. The officials were furious, and they didn't know what happened. Suddenly, they only heard a cough from the hall, and everyone fell silent for a while. .

Minggong sat on the dragon chair and announced angrily: "My dear friends, I really didn't expect such a thing to happen today. The queen has no virtue and interferes in the government. I have no choice but to decide to abolish the queen. What do you think?" how?"

More than half of the civil and military officials present were flattering, and at this moment, the cabinet minister Cheng Rong stood up resolutely.

"Excuse me, my lord, what is the queen's lack of virtue? I really don't understand, and I'm afraid that my lord will be deceived by traitors, so I ask my lord to think twice." Cheng Rong raised his wat.

"Hmph! Master Cheng, who in the court doesn't know that you are part of the queen's party, and you are not afraid to avoid suspicion and excuse the queen?" Lu Kai, the cabinet minister, and Hua Guogong sarcastically said.

"As the saying goes, frank and frank, virtuous people don't avoid relationships. The minister just came out to uphold justice because no one dared to tell the truth." Cheng Rong said with a smile.

"Okay, Cheng Rong, I tell you clearly, the empress has no virtue in the harem and is disloyal to Da Zhou!" Ming Gong said in a muffled voice.

"Your Majesty, the empress has been in the main palace for many years. I have never seen the empress domineering in the Shuilong Shuren Hall, pointing fingers at every turn, and I have never heard of any major incidents of rebellion in the harem. What is immoral? Besides, the empress has always assisted the king, and has never been unknown. , so abiding by women's morals, how can it be called infidelity?" Cheng Rong argued.

"Well, Cheng Rong, it's useless to say anything!" Fang Jin interrupted Cheng Rong recklessly.

"That's enough, Fang Jin, let others finish talking."
