Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 773 Barking
"Empress Dowager Ping drives back to the palace!" The eerie walls of Luoyang Palace echoed the long shouts of palace people.

Empress Dowager Ping Baosi, surrounded by the guard of honor of the palace people, rode a carriage and drove slowly on the corridor.

"What empress dowager, what a disgrace. Who doesn't know about the anecdote that the empress dowager bought a laugh with a thousand dollars? Those rumors in the palace are wonderful! It's really unexpected, the empress dowager can still sit in Jianjia Palace, it's really shameless! "Over the sky of Liugong, a group of migratory birds flew up, and the very ear-piercing insults and sarcasms came from nowhere.

"Your Majesty, these shameless bastards are swearing, and this servant will report to the emperor and punish him severely!" Mingyue, who was filled with righteous indignation, blushed and asked Baosi angrily.

"Mingyue, put down the pearl tassel curtain and go straight back to Jianjia Palace." Bao Si waved her weak eyes and frowned as a gesture.

"Your Majesty is too simple. You can't quarrel with those shameless rats, and you won't report to the emperor. She is protected by the palace rules. Alas, although your empress is well-read, she is too lonely." On a lonely winter night, staring sadly Looking at the snowflakes on Zhuye Mountain, Mingyue, who was full of righteous indignation, couldn't help discussing with Huiyue.

"Mingyue, Your Majesty is a glass heart. I'm afraid those villains are spreading rumors about Your Majesty everywhere. Your Majesty has been suffering from pain in her heart for a long time, but Your Majesty has confided to us. If things go on like this, Your Majesty's condition will definitely get worse." Hui Yue said with a gloomy face. .

"Hui Yue, why don't I write a letter and send it directly to the Lord Jutu, maybe the Lord won't just sit back and do nothing?" Mingyue's eyes moved, thinking.

"Girl Huiyue, why do you think of sending blessings to the king during the Chinese New Year?" Prince Zheng's mansion suddenly invited Cheng Rong, Ming Chao, An Tong and others for three rounds of banquets, and suddenly the girl Yan'er came forward A basket of jujube cakes, with a letter attached.

Ju Tu opened it with a smile and saw that Hui Yue explained that it was a basket of jujube cakes made by herself as a gift, and there were a few blessings, so he couldn't help laughing.

"Quitu, Miss Huiyue, it's alright. It's almost Chinese New Year and you even gave us jujube cake. Is there something urgent that needs us to help her?" Cheng Rong carefully checked the jujube cake and the word "Fu", and immediately thought about it.

Ju Tu Mao suddenly realized, and hurriedly opened the blessing, and there was a letter hidden inside, which described in detail how Baosi was bullied by Concubine Min Gui and other concubines in Luoyang Palace these days, and asked Ju Tu to rescue Bao Si.

"Concubine Min Gui, this enchanting concubine, is really shameless! She colluded with traitors and intentionally tortured the empress dowager, is there any justice?" Jue Tu suddenly became furious and furious.

"Quitu, the reason why Concubine Min Gui dared to spread rumors and punish the Empress Dowager Ping secretly must have a direct connection with Hua Guwei Hou Ma Wumen and his gang. I am worried that they have other plans, and their ultimate goal is us loyal Heroes of the country, we recovered the country of Yue and arrested Xue Ju. We have already rendered great service to the emperor. Marquis Wei and others are worried that we will rob them of their prominent positions, so they will inevitably have the heart to frame us, so we must not be impulsive when digging. We must wait for Marquis Wei and the others to reveal their true colors!" Cheng Rong warned, holding Kuu Tu's left hand.

"Brother Cheng, I really regret it. Why didn't you take Si'er away in Yue country, and now you return to Luoyang, but you will be insulted by villains again!" Jue Tu said heartbroken.

In the Hall of Shuilong Shuren, at this hour, the ministers were whispering to each other, discussing constantly, they were all talking about the recent rumors circulating in the capital, Qu Chu was already anxious and angry these days, when he heard that those people seemed to be laughing at Baosi, his eyes widened with anger, He glared at Censor Wei Du and the others fiercely.

"Report to the emperor, I have a book to play!" Wei Du sneered at Ju Tu, immediately took out the chao wat, and knelt down in front of Shui Jian to play.

"Wei Du, who do you want to join?" Shui Jian coldly looked at Wei Du who was full of blood.

"I participated in playing Zheng Wang Kuitu and Cheng Wang Chengrong, falsely reported military exploits, and secretly colluded with the rebels!" Wei Du deserved to be a censor, every sentence was like a sharp knife, every word satirized Qutu, very rampant.

"Ju Tu, Xue Ju has been captured, and the old thief Xue Ju was beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market the day before yesterday. Isn't it ridiculous that you suddenly participate in the game of Du Tuu?" Shui Jian glanced at him with contempt. ministers.

"Your Majesty, this is where Dug Tu and Cheng Rong are treacherous. In fact, Xue Ju wanted to submit to the imperial court at the beginning, and Dug Tu also accepted Xue Ju's letter of surrender. However, Dug Tu wanted to be greedy for merit and deceive the world, so he trapped Xue Ju. , Taking advantage of the opportunity to send troops to cause disaster, this unearthly move is completely an attempt to steal military achievements and deceive the emperor, please be sure to punish the emperor!" With a thick skin, Wei Du blatantly turned black and white in the Shuilong Shuren Hall.

"Bold Wei Du, last time at the court meeting, you were the one who framed Dutu and Cheng Rong, spread rumors everywhere, and even framed the military exploits of the Great Zhou army as stealing. You are really shameless, gentle scum, and now you dare to speak nonsense in front of the emperor. , Nonsense, saying, who ordered you to spread rumors and attack loyal ministers?" Before Wei Du let go, Prime Minister Ming Chao, who was burning with anger, stepped forward and reprimanded loudly.

"That's right, the last time Ditu and Xirong fought at Shuilongguan, it was you and other censors who spread rumors everywhere, insulting the Great Zhou army for stealing the achievements of Shuilongguan guards. Now that the world is settled, you still have to tell lies and humiliate the general. What's your intention?" King Yu, who was filled with righteous indignation, was also trembling with anger, and pointed at Wei Du and asked loudly.

"That's right, why did Yushi start to frame Zhongliang again?" In the Shuilong Shuren Hall, many upright ministers accused Wei Du of his arrogance.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Rong and Ju Tu Mingchao are the same breed. Today they provoke the courtiers and insult the censor, which is disrespectful to the Emperor. Please make a clear decision!" The cunning Wei Hou saw that the two sides were arguing, secretly proud, and immediately played Shui Jian. Impeach Diggu on the spot.

"Wei Du, do you have evidence to impeach Jug Tu, Cheng Rong and others for forming a party for personal gain?" Shui Jian asked Wei Du calmly.

"I have a lot of proofs. Qu Tu secretly hijacked the empress dowager, secretly negotiated peace with the traitor Xue Ju, and had an affair with the empress dowager in membership. These embarrassing things are known to the whole city in Jiangnan. Your majesty, Qu Tu is here People are simply despicable, shameless, and morally corrupt!" Wei Du presented evidence on the spot to impeach Dongdu.

"Wei Du, I have read these memorials of yours. It is true that Qu Tu did many illegal actions in Yue State, but it is true that Qu Tu put down Yue State and cannot be slandered!" Shui Jian carefully read Wei Du's words. The memorial said to Wei Du.

"Your Majesty, many of Qutu's military exploits in the Yue Kingdom are very suspicious. Please send a special person to investigate to prevent Dutu from making false achievements." At this time, Ma Wumen also took advantage of the confusion and stepped forward to attack Qutudao.

"Ju Tu and Cheng Rong have contributed a lot, but there are also many rumors. I have decided to let Marquis Wei investigate this case." Shui Jian saw that there was going to be a storm in the court, so he was ambiguous and put all the burden on Marquis Wei. .

The eunuch sent by Concubine Min to monitor the court meeting of the Shuilong Shuren Hall rushed back excitedly, and reported to Concubine Min: "Your Majesty, the three loyal ministers who dug out Cheng Rong Mingchao were knocked down by Master Weidu's scolding. Now the emperor has appointed Marquis Wei to investigate this matter strictly, Dug Tu and Cheng Rong are caught this time, and they are all in the hands of the empress."

Concubine Min Gui let out a vicious sneer from Zhu's lips.

"Xin'er, the one from Jian Jia Palace, let's send more people to send her news to see how notorious her sweetheart is?" Concubine Min Gui raised her eyebrows, glanced at the girl beside her, and a sinister smile appeared on her vermilion lips. .

Jianjia Palace, today Concubine Liu heard that Baosi had a cold, so she hurriedly took Yan'er and got some Chinese medicine to visit Baosi.

But seeing Bao Si reclined on the soft couch, her face was very haggard, her brows were furrowed, she felt sorry for herself.

"Empress Dowager, you must relax your heart. Those villains are always spreading rumors and ruining their reputation. They are shameless. Your Majesty does not need to be serious with those guys!" Concubine Liu comforted Bao Si softly for a while, and ordered Yan'er decocted medicine and brought it to Bao Si.

"Concubine Liu, I understand that you are a good girl, but that's how it is in the palace. The world is cold, and those treacherous guys will do everything they can to deal with me, gossip, insult and sarcasm, but you are different. They don't have any big complaints, so it's better not to get involved." Bao Si smiled leisurely at Concubine Liu.

"The empress dowager doesn't have to worry about her concubines. No matter how vicious Concubine Min Gui is, she is about to give birth to a little prince. She doesn't have so much energy to deal with us, but Empress Ma is in danger. Once an arrogant woman like Concubine Min Gui is born Prince, aren't Empress Ma and Prince Bao'en too dangerous?" Concubine Liu sighed.

"Concubine Liu, is there someone in the court attacking Qutu?" Bao Si suddenly thought that Concubine Liu might know about the gossip in the previous court, so she couldn't help asking.

"Empress Dowager, you can rest easy and recover from your illness. Prince Zheng is a good man. He has never been afraid of the enemies on the front line. Are you afraid of these people who spread rumors and curse people?" Concubine Liu smiled and said.

"Concubine Liu, it's thanks to you." Bao Si smiled comfortably at Concubine Liu.

The long night was very deep. At this time, it began to rain unknowingly outside the house. In Zheng Wang's mansion, Qug Tu, who was surrounded by ridicule and insults all day long, was lying on the couch, unable to sleep. The voice was suddenly filled with grief.

At that moment in the dream, Jutu and Baosi were riding the bay red horse galloping in a fairyland.

In the dark night, Leng Xiang turned into Bao Si, quietly staring at Qu Tu from outside the curtain.

"Ju Tu, I'm overjoyed."
