Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 374 Deception
Zhao Deji looked back and saw that she was carefully dressed, even though she was in her late teens, her brows and eyes were still full of enchanting charm, with a hint of viciousness and lewdness, this was one of the reasons why he had "sexual interest" in this woman.He laughed and said: "The Jin army has withdrawn from Sichuan and Shaanxi, Qin Hui has made great contributions this time..."

The withdrawal of the Jin army from Sichuan and Shanxi was entirely due to the result of Wu Lin, the son of Wu Jie, who was defeated in the match, but Jin Wushu made public opinion, and Qin Hui's clever words and tricks all became Qin Hui's contribution to the peace talks.

"Qin Hui should swear allegiance to the official family to the death."

Zhao Deji said with a smile: "I have been the emperor for these years, and spent most of my time fleeing and panicking. Now that the peace talks have been finalized, I hope that before New Year's Eve, I can have a peaceful and happy New Year..."

Wang Junhua observed the words and expressions, thought carefully, and understood that the officials wanted to write down the Song-Jin peace alliance before New Year's Eve.However, his "happy" package doesn't include killing Yue Pengju before New Year's Eve?She casually said, "I heard that the fourth prince's request from the Kingdom of Jin is that as long as Yue Pengju is killed, a peace agreement can be signed."

Zhao Deji regarded her as an eyeliner by Qin Hui's side, but at this moment he didn't know that Qin Hui already had the amulet of "Prime Minister for Life", and he was complacent about how to depose Qin Hui after a year and a half after the peace talks. Of course he would not reveal it to Wang Junhua , and said: "Yue Pengju can reach the capital in three or two days. Once he comes back, he will naturally be a tiger in a cage..."

After Wang Junhua determined the date of Yue Pengju's death, he had a solid idea in his mind, and then said: "Recently, Yue Pengju's confidantes and generals have been doing a lot of activities. If Yue Pengju doesn't return for a day, I'm afraid there will be accidents..."

Because of Sun Ge, Yu Peng and others' letter to refute, Zhao Deji has already become more wary.A group of literati working so hard for warriors, wouldn't it shake the foundation of the Song Dynasty to guard against generals?Moreover, if Yue Pengju returns to Lin'an and arrests him, it will be even more difficult to stop Youyou's mouth.He wanted to get rid of Yue Pengju, but also maintain his "benevolent monarch" demeanor, and at the same time not violate the oath of "not to kill ministers" left by his ancestor Zhao Taizu.

"Let Qin Hui hurry up and continue to search for powerful evidence against Yue Pengju."

Wang Junhua said happily: "Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates. Yue Pengju has long been disobedient, and his son will still be a disaster if he stays..."

Zhao Deji pondered for a moment, it's not like he hasn't thought about this issue, but at this moment he is full of hope to get Hua Rong, if she kills her son, according to her temper, she will definitely refuse to do so.

Seeing his hesitation, Wang Junhua judged even more. The mysterious woman Zhang Quwei was talking about must be Hua Rong. Zhao Deji had been thinking about Hua Rong for a long time. Cheating men love other women more than themselves.What makes her proud is that she can play the three most powerful men in Song and Jin: Jin Wushu, Zhao Deji, and Qin Hui in the palm of her hand at the same time. If Hua Rong is favored more than herself, wouldn't this sense of superiority be greatly reduced?

She came up with a plan, so she said: "The concubine often hears people say that Hua Rong is very domineering because of her lucky escort in the past, feasting guests in the garden of pleasure, spreading the oath of the great ancestor not to kill heroes, To create public opinion, it is expected that the officials will not dare to kill her. The officials are kind-hearted and tolerate her and her son, which is really a benevolent gentleman. She is not only ungrateful but also uses it. The minister and concubine met her by chance yesterday and made her laugh..."

She was talking nonsense, Hua Rong lived in Yiyuan, the two had never met, but Zhao Deji heard the clue: "You said you met Hua Rong yesterday?"

Wang Junhua slipped his tongue, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet, thinking, why doesn't it matter if he has seen Hua Rong?Immediately followed the lie smoothly and said: "I didn't see her hanging out with Li Yi'an on the street. Their husband and wife are keen to associate with talented women and scholars, just to create public opinion in their favor..."

"How dare she lie to me..."

Zhao Deji's complexion changed drastically, and he found an excuse to order Wang Junhua to retreat.Wang Junhua didn't understand what she said wrong, but when she saw Zhao Deji's situation, she immediately guessed that it was not good for Hua Rong. She was overjoyed and thoughtful, and she said to herself while walking: "God helped me..."

Once Wang Junhua left, Zhao Deji couldn't sit still anymore.He only said that Hua Rong was "begging for a son" for him in the Buddhist hall, but who knew that he was hanging out with her son?Isn't it criminals who deceive the king?There is another unspeakable secret in his heart: did he get what he wanted for Hua Rong that day? !This has always been a big question in my mind.He is very scheming, on this kind of matter, he knows that it is impossible for a man to completely forget any details, no matter how he recalls that day, he just holds Hua Rong's hand.Moreover, Hua Rong has always been stubborn, even if it was because he cherished his son, the surrender that day came too soon, right?

The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong, and he said loudly, "Chuan Kang Qi."

Eunuch Kang came in briskly, knowing that something was wrong, he immediately knelt down, and Zhao Deji shouted: "Bold servant girl, why don't you really recruit me?"

Eunuch Kang asked in a trembling voice: "The official...what did the little one do..."

"That day, did I really get lucky with Hua Rong? If you dare to speak half a lie, I will definitely kill you..."

Eunuch Kang was so frightened that his head was as big as a fight, and Qingzhi finally found out the truth.However, he gritted his teeth and dared not admit it no matter what, so he could only say: "The official...that day was true, really..."

"Really what?"

He secretly scolded you for the details of being in it, you don't know who knows?But what he said was: "You guys can hear that voice...from the government, from Hua Rong..." He boldly asked back, "Could it be that Hua Rong didn't serve you well?"

Because of that night, Zhao Deji often triumphantly expressed himself as a man in front of the eunuchs, but now, how can he easily admit that he is still "not good"?The humiliating thought he refused to acknowledge.

Seeing that Eunuch Kang's words were flawless, he expected that Eunuch Kang would not be able to deceive him because of Yue Pengju and his wife, and he couldn't figure out why, so he changed his mind and immediately said: "Let's go to the Empress Dowager's Buddhist Hall immediately, don't disturb anyone... "

Eunuch Kang secretly complained, but he had to make secret preparations immediately and accompany Zhao Deji to the Buddhist hall.

Because Zhao Deji had doubts, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, a kind of anger of being fooled or not succeeding.Fortunately, Mrs. Liu has been using aphrodisiacs all the time, so there is no reason for him to be "Xiongfeng" once, but he has no memory.

And Tianwei.He had long been suspicious of Tian Wei because of Concubine Wei Xian's handwriting, but his heart was as bright as a mirror. His biological mother must have been afraid that Tian Wei would expose her ugly behavior in the Kingdom of Jin. After all, the erotic pictures of Concubine Wei Xian sent by Zongwang were real Concubine Wei Xian could never escape the ravages.

Tianwei and her biological mother, who is more important?He has already weighed it.Now thinking of Tian Wei and Hua Rong's teaming up to deceive the emperor, he couldn't bear it anymore.

After the first rain in early winter, the plants and trees in "Yiyuan" withered and turned yellow everywhere. Even the evergreens and honeysuckle seemed weak. Some achnatherum splendens on the ground bloomed a small scarlet flower. It was no longer surrounded by bees and butterflies, and it was very lonely.

A palace servant was led by a maid, and came in quietly, found Hua Rong in the garden, with an anxious expression on his face: "Mrs. Yue, the princess, please go to the Buddhist hall immediately..." Hua Rong was startled, and immediately understood that it was Zhao Deji who was going to make a surprise attack. Checked out.

She immediately entrusted the child to Li Yi'an, and rode to the queen mother's Buddhist hall by herself.

The Empress Dowager's Buddhist hall is adjacent to the palace.Because of Nandu, the Lin'an Palace at this time is ten times smaller than the size of the former imperial palace. Although there are simple four palace gates, the scale and layout are not as grand as the rich and wealthy houses in Tokyo.The queen mother's Buddhist hall is on the side of the attic of the women's family members. It was originally a local nunnery, and the incense was once withered because the Jin army went south.After the queen mother arrived in Lin'an, she didn't want to perfunctory in the already crowded harem and the female relatives, so she invited herself to settle down in the Buddhist hall behind her to cultivate herself.After her death, Zhao Deji expanded the size of the Buddhist hall in order to commemorate her, allowing some harem women to come here to pray to gods and Buddha, of course most of them came to pray for a child.

It was getting late, and a special visitor came to the Buddhist hall, Zhang Yingying.Tianwei has no friendship with her, but she is grateful for her cooperation with her last time to save Hua Rong. Tianwei was about to salute her, but saw her kneeling under a Guanyin Guanyin, muttering words, but her eyes were looking at her. Own.

Tian Wei felt very surprised, and walked over pretending to be casual, kneeling on the futon beside her.Zhang Yingying almost said with her lips: "Quickly call Mrs. Yue back to the Buddhist hall, 'he' has become suspicious..."

Recently, they all refer to Zhao Deji as "he". The former "official family" seems to be a distant thing that can no longer be mentioned.

Tianwei didn't know why Zhao Deji became suspicious, and was about to say something, Zhang Yingying had already got up, only smiled at her, and left the Buddhist hall and returned to the palace.

Tianwei saw the panic in her eyes, and she was even more uneasy, and immediately realized that maybe Brother Nine had noticed something.She hurried to the door to look around, but the messenger had just left, how could Hua Rong come back so quickly?
She waited anxiously for an unknown amount of time, the sky was completely dark, the oil lamps in the Buddhist hall were on and off, and in front of the Empress Dowager's coffin, the colors of melons and fruits were red, green and green, and cigarettes were lingering, like a strange and unpredictable world.

Tianwei knelt down until her legs and feet became numb, and her mind became more and more confused.A voice suddenly sounded next to his ear: "Tianwei, where is Hua Rong?"

She was so startled that she almost jumped up, Brother Jiu, unexpectedly barged in without any notification.Sure enough, he came to attack suddenly.

Seeing her terrified expression, Zhao Deji became even more suspicious, and said angrily, "Where's Hua Rong?"

She didn't know how to answer, so she stammered, "Madam Yue...she...Madam Yue...she..."

"Tian Wei, you are so bold, you dare to join forces with Hua Rong to deceive me."

Tian Wei was so anxious that she wanted to cry: "Ninth Brother, calm down, Ninth Brother...I didn't lie to you..."

"No? What about Hua Rongren? Didn't you promise to beg for a child with her? Where is she now?"

Tian Wei couldn't answer at all.Zhao Deji sneered: "Has Hua Rong already run away? And you are her accomplice, aren't you?"

"Ninth Brother..."

"You sleazy maid..." Zhao Deji raised his hand, and slapped Tian Wei hard.Tian Wei never thought that Brother Ninth whom she respected since she was a child would actually beat her, she covered her face in shock and didn't dare to cry, she just looked up at him and asked in a daze, "Brother Ninth, what did I do wrong?"

"You still don't know what's wrong? You teamed up with Hua Rong to play with me in the palm of your hand..."

"Your Majesty, the princess did not lie to you!"
