Chen Palace

Chapter 89

"Being charged with infidelity and murder, spending time in that cold palace, do you think she is good?"

Chen Lu picked up the teacup, stared at the slightly moving water patterns, and said softly.

The midday sun was hot, and the young man sat down slumped. After a long while, he struggled out a sentence between his teeth-
"What do you want to know?"

"General Zhou has no grudge against the imperial court. Why?"

"How did you know...?"

The young man shouted in disbelief.

"Before the battle that day, I caught a glimpse of his eyes, unrestrained, but the undercurrent in Zhongzang almost devoured the emperor—if there was no great hatred, how could it be so?"

The young man smiled bitterly, and sat down leaning against the corner of the pillar: "You're right, General Zhou, indeed he has a deep hatred for the imperial family."

His voice was ethereal and profound, as if he had returned to that era of raging wars——

"General Zhou had a white-headed alliance with a woman in his early years. During the Jingle period, the capital fell, and after inquiring about her whereabouts, he was taken captive by the Tatars. From then on, his temperament changed drastically, and he wanted to lead the iron cavalry. Long drive the grassland to save his lover, but when the first emperor was there, he suppressed him vigorously. When the queen mother came to court, the Tatars were ready to move again. Blame him for not being provocative!!"

The more the young man talked, the more aggrieved he became. Thinking of the coach's kindness to him, who had cultivated him since he was a child, but now he is telling outsiders his secrets, annoyed and helpless, he bit his lower lip to bleed.

"The singing and dancing of the adults in Beijing was not achieved by me and other warriors fighting with swords and guns. It is obvious that the Tatars first conceived the ambition of prodigal sons, but they said that we were the ones who started provocatively!!"

Chen Lu listened quietly, without saying a word, but her heart was raging like a raging wave, which could not be restrained.

"My general is desperately looking forward to the hopelessness of his lover, and under the rage, he has long hated the imperial court..."

The young man said, closing his eyes in pain, and slowly said: "He sent his daughter to the palace just to bring chaos to the dynasty, but Concubine Zhou Guifei was stubborn by nature and never really did anything. rift."

Chen Lu was dazzled by hearing this, her eyes were shining brightly, and after a long time, she said: "A person who is infatuated is hateful and pitiful."

The sunlight shone in from the window, reflecting her figure so transparently that it almost turned into nothingness.

When Xiangying was introduced into the inner hall, she felt apprehensive, she gathered her clothes and entered, but saw a woman in plain clothes sitting on the main seat.

Under the heavy-dyed and tailored palace gown, the moonlight luan pattern shines in the sunlight, looking awe-inspiring, like a fairy.

Is this the little girl who used to be rough around the corridor?
Xiangying watched intently, envious and shocked in her heart, until the gaze of her superiors caught her, then she bowed her head respectfully.

"You have always been the most important person around Concubine Qi..."

A cold and cold voice came from the seat.

"Yes, ma'am."

"That night you accompanied her to Feiyan Pavilion and waited not far away?"

Xiangying has been asked by countless people, she suppressed her impatience, and answered with a bowed head: "I waited there for more than an hour, but I didn't dare to leave. I felt that there was no movement in the pavilion, so I went up to find out. , I saw my mother-in-law, she..."

Many days have passed since this incident, and she still has lingering fears when she thinks of the tragic scene of that day.

"You are waiting in Your Excellency, but you really didn't hear anything?"

"Your Majesty, please trust me! I'm so far away, I don't know anything!"

Xiangying almost cried out.

She has been interrogated by countless people in the past few days, and the most asked question is this sentence. Everyone looks at her suspiciously, thinking that she knows something.

Chen Lu smiled slightly, and asked softly, "Do you want to get out of this mess?"

Xiangying looked up at her in surprise, her eyes full of puzzlement.

"Your father was originally a domestic slave of Qi Mansion. Master Meng Qi kindly released him to collect accounts and start a business. His life was rich and rich, but Concubine Qi has taken a fancy to you since she was a child and brought you by her side as a maid—what a pity, you You don't have the life of a young lady!"

A flash of resignation flashed in Xiangying's eyes, and she forced a smile and said: "My lady is so kind to me..."

"is it?"

Chen Lu seemed very surprised, and said with a smile: "I heard that your father once wanted to intercede with Mr. Qi, and wanted you to marry out of the palace. Is this a rumor?" www.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
