Harem Seizure

Chapter 50

The opera performances on the Fanghua Terrace were very lively, and the concubines also enjoyed watching it, and Li Huang also looked relaxed and at ease.Sitting in the right seat, he watched the performance of the concubines on the stage with joy on his face.

Suddenly a guard walked up to Wen Shunxi and said a few words to Wen Shunxi.Immediately, Wen Shunxi's face changed color, and with a look of melancholy on his face, he whispered into Li Huang's ear.

After listening to Wen Shunxi's words, Li Huang's face immediately changed, seeing the charming appearance of the concubines on the stage, he immediately felt a little disgusted.Frowning deeply, he sat in the seat without saying a word.

Empress Yao saw Li Huang's appearance and Wen Shunxi's sad expression, so she knew something had happened.Then he laughed, and said to Li Huangfu Fushen: "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well, so I will take my leave first."

The concubines looked at me and I looked at you, and when they saw Empress Yao leaving the table, they all looked at each other and resigned.

Li Huang looked at the scattered concubines, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Pei Jingrui, send someone to escort the concubines back to the palace." Li Huang gritted his teeth and said these himself, and then a chill flashed in his eyes.

The commander of the guards, Pei Jingrui, glanced at Li Huang, and quickly understood what Li Huang meant.This is using the guards as an excuse, and this is to imprison the concubines.Pei Jingrui shook his head lightly, it's no wonder Li Huang was so angry when something happened this year.

Shao Yunyan looked at the guards who were following her, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.This Emperor Li's method is really high, the concubines have sent people around.Once something happens, there is no chance to escape.Isn't this about being imprisoned?Shao Yunyan laughed lightly, tonight's scene must be very exciting, but this scene is destined to be a tragedy, so she should prepare the veil.

The accompanying guards secretly looked at Shao Yunyan, seeing the slightly raised corners of Shao Yunyan's mouth, she couldn't help lowering her head.This Concubine Yi has such a leisurely mind, and with so many guards around her, she can still laugh.

Sure enough, when they returned to Yuxiu Palace, the guards closed the gate of Yuxiu Palace with the excuse of late at night.When the servants saw that Yuxiu Palace was locked, they became startled.Seeing the slightly startled expressions of the servants, Shao Yunyan smiled slightly and said, "Why are you panicking? We're going to be the same as usual, and we can do whatever we want. Go to the small kitchen and make some dumplings." , we can't just stop this year just because there are people standing outside the palace gate? We can't treat ourselves badly."

"Your Majesty...but...outside." Sishui and the others looked at the closed gate of Yuxiu Palace, trembling slightly.They don't know what happened in this palace, and they don't know if the gates of other palaces are closed.

Shao Yunyan looked very indifferent, leaning on the couch, squinting her eyes and said: "You care about what to do outside? They are in charge of the gate outside, did they say that we are not allowed to eat. But what, We also want to celebrate our year.

"

Seeing Shao Yunyan's indifferent look, Xianyun let out a long breath of relief, and said with a smile: "Madam, then the servants will go to make dumplings. Well, three delicacies stuffed with beef and carrots It's sweet. Can you, ma'am?"

Shao Yunyan smiled, looked at Xianyun, nodded and said: "You can figure it out. I will use a little bit. You won't be able to eat the imperial banquet today, so make more stuffing that you like. Let’s do something of all sorts, and let’s have fun.”

Xianyun listened to what she said, so she played tricks, and Shishui waited for someone to go down to make dumplings and make some food.Shao Yunyan looked at the maid who was going down, and the smile on her face became more obvious, and she looked around at Yinxiang, Xuehai and others who were still nervous.Suddenly she laughed, looking at their nervous faces, Shao Yunyan suddenly felt a little funny, looked at them and shook her head and said: "Why are you nervous? This closed palace is not just our Yuxiu Palace. Why do you want to?" A look of nervousness, your master, have I done anything unconscionable, and you have not made such an unforgivable mistake, why are you nervous?"

Nanny Fang glanced at them and said with a smile; "Your Majesty is right, you little hooves, hurry up and laugh. If you are unhappy or anxious this year, you will be unhappy all year. Smile, Don't make such a bitter face. Go and peel some walnuts, almonds, etc. for your mother. You also go to eat some peanuts and melon seeds. Don't put them here and poke them, go and do what you should do."

Ting Yu smiled, blessed Shao Yunyan and walked to the front of the table to bring a fruit plate and a golden hammer.Crack walnuts for Shao Yunyan to eat.

Shao Yunyan smiled at ease, as if everything outside Yuxiu Palace didn't care about her business.The guards outside Yuxiu Palace were also surprised by the unusual tranquility of Yuxiu Palace.But they didn't dare to make excuses to intervene in the affairs of Yuxiu Palace, they were only ordered to guard Yuxiu Palace, so they couldn't do other things.

In Yuxiu Palace, the master and servant still spend the New Year leisurely, regardless of other things.But at this time, Mingyu Palace is extremely lively.Just now when Emperor Li calmly ordered Pei Jingrui to send the concubines away, he glanced at Concubine De, and finally said softly: "Pei Jingrui, take someone with you and send Concubine De back in person." Li Huang finished the sentence calmly , There was an unusually cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

The concubines who did not leave at that time all looked at Concubine De with extreme jealousy, then looked at Li Huang very reluctantly, and followed Li Huang to leave.There is envy, jealousy and resentment in his eyes.Who is this Pei Jingrui?That's the chief guard, the son of Princess Ning'an, and the emperor's cousin.Not only because of his high martial arts, but also because he grew up with Li Huang since he was a child, and he is also one of Li Huang's most trusted people.Because the two brothers are extremely close, Li Huang can rest assured that he will be in charge of the huge harem of Li Kingdom and his own daily safety.

Sitting in the seat of Zhengyang Hall, Li Huang frowned tightly.Even if he didn't like Concubine De, he didn't want his concubine to have such thoughts.He always wanted to get rid of Concubine De's family, because Concubine De's father had indeed threatened him to establish his own power.In the position of Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses, if he is not his confidant, Li Huang always feels that he is not so secure.Even now that he has enough reasonable evidence to grasp the overall situation, Li Huang still won't take action easily.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Pei is here." Wen Shunxi glanced at Li Huang and walked into the main hall with his head down, and said to Li Huang.

Li Huang frowned and said in a low voice, "I want him to come in."

"Yes, I obey the order." Wen Shunxi nodded to Emperor Li, and invited Pei Jingrui in.

"Minister, Pei Jingrui, please my emperor, Wanan." Pei Jingrui kowtowed to Emperor Li on his knees.

Li Huang looked at Pei Jingrui, forced a smile on Pei Jingrui and asked, "How's the investigation going? Did the court lady say anything?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the material of that thing is snowflake brocade. This snowflake brocade is a newly promoted fabric, and it is also a fabric that can only be used by noble people. So did the concubine De concubine do this? Is the concubine de concubine innocent? Just check the snow cloth brocade." Pei Jingrui replied very respectfully.

Li Huang frowned, and repeated in a low voice: "Snow Flower Brocade? Wen Shunxi, let me think about it, when did this Snow Flower Brocade come up as a tribute?"

Wen Shunxi lowered his head and thought for a while before replying respectfully: "It was brought up on the twentieth of this year's cold moon. A total of [-] horses. Although we have quite a few harem lords, but because of the large number of tributes this year, you So I issued a decree of grace and distributed it to all the ladies. Even the Graceful Palace also has it."

"How should we investigate this? Hu Jian, did you find this clue?" Li Huang frowned and looked at Pei Jingrui with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Pei Jingrui immediately knelt down to plead guilty and said: "Back to the emperor, I have already interrogated that maid, who said it was for their mother's peace of mind. I think, if what the maid said is true, then the place where the snowflake cloth in Concubine De's palace is missing , will definitely be consistent with taking things.”

Li Huang frowned, looking at Pei Jingrui's furrowed eyebrows.He took a few breaths and said: "Where is that maid? Take her and accompany me to the Ming! Yu! Palace!" Every word Li Huang said was gritted his teeth fiercely, and his face became very embarrassing.

At this moment in Mingyu Palace, Concubine De is still feeling uneasy.She didn't know that Li Huang had already caught her blue flower, but she was secretly worried, if that matter was not completed, how long would she be in pain?

Li Huang's sudden arrival made Concubine De suddenly startled.She looked at Li Huang tremblingly, she didn't know what happened, she just felt that Li Huang was looking at her wrongly, as if he wanted to eat her.

"This concubine... I have met the emperor before." Concubine De's words trembled.A trace of cold sweat also slid down her forehead. She didn't know what happened, but she had an inexplicable fear in her heart.

Looking at Concubine De's appearance, Li Huang felt that she was clearly guilty, and suddenly snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Why is Concubine Concubine shaking so badly? Is she sick? It hurts my heart to see Concubine Concubine like this."

"I... I am fine... I am fine." Concubine De's words trembled, she felt that Li Huang's words were not concerned, but full of chill.

Li Huang twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "By the way, Aifei, I found someone, it should be your court lady, and you should know her. Someone bring her here."

"Qing... Qinghua. Qinghua, why are you here... you..." Concubine De's eyes were filled with surprise, Chunhua was actually brought back by Emperor Li?So what should she do?Wouldn't she be in trouble in the future? "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This concubine did not manage the servants well and disturbed the emperor. I made a mistake."

"What is Concubine Ai talking about? Why don't I understand?" Li Huang looked at Concubine De with cold eyes, and his voice became unemotional.

"I am a concubine..." Concubine De looked at Li Huang, cold sweat was already breaking out, staring at Li Huang with a pair of eyes, her whole body was icy cold.

Li Huang suddenly sneered, looked at Concubine De with a smile and said, "Concubine Ai has nothing to say, right? Jing Rui bring the things here."

Hu Jian came up with a tray, and on top of the bright yellow interlining was a burnt and broken doll. You could vaguely see its broken body before it was burned.Although the whole doll is broken, you can vaguely see the eight big characters written on it: Xin Wei, Gui Wei, Ding Chou, and Yi Chou.It was Li Huang's birthday.

Concubine De still looked at the blue and white doll resentfully at first when she saw the doll, but she didn't see clearly the big characters written on the doll.

Naturally, Li Huang saw Concubine De's resentful look at Qing Hua, and suddenly sneered.A handsome and majestic face was also suddenly cold, and he said with a cold snort: "Concubine De, do you admit it? I didn't expect you to have such thoughts."

"No... Your Majesty. I knew I was wrong. I shouldn't have harmed Mr. Zhang Liang back then, and I shouldn't have asked Mr. Zhang Liang to be my helper. I shouldn't have killed her...that's why I now I couldn't sleep at night, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw Mrs. Zhang dancing. The concubine... the concubine is just to calm the nerves."

"Bitch... you still want to quibble? Are you really stupid and illiterate? A rag doll, can you calm your nerves? Can you not be guilty? Li Hailin, you are still fooling me." Li Huang Very angry, he overturned the tray that Pei Jingrui was carrying, and the doll fell at Concubine De's feet.

Concubine De looked at the rag doll, picked it up immediately, and pointed it to Li Huang: "Your Majesty, do you know that this can really calm the concubine's body. Really... although the concubine should not do such a thing , This kind of thing is not allowed in the harem. But I beg the emperor, seeing that this concubine is all for the purpose of healing myself, let me let this concubine go."

"You are still talking nonsense. You read the above words to me..." Li Huang glanced at Concubine De angrily, then glared at Concubine De fiercely and said.

"Words...what are the words." Concubine De looked at the doll, and suddenly saw a few large characters on the back of the doll. Concubine De's body became cold when she saw it, from her fingers to her heart. "No, this concubine did not do this. This is not my concubine...Qing Hua, why did you kill me?"

"Concubine De, you are enough. You have just admitted that this puppet is yours, do you still want to repay the debt now? Originally, I thought that someone else harmed you, but you actually did this for me. "Emperor Li was completely angry.Not because of anything else, but just thinking of Concubine De's family background is enough to ignite Huang Li's anger.

"No, Your Majesty. I have no children, and my elder brother is also a civil servant. What's the matter with the Emperor? It is not good for me. I am your concubine, Your Majesty. How could I do such a crime?" Concubine De deeply Kowtowing her head, the regret in her heart was more than a little bit.Although she can't be said to be a favorite, in this harem, she can help her father gain more status on the battlefield.She really regretted it at this time.

Seeing that Concubine De didn't pay attention to Concubine De, Emperor Li coldly shook off Concubine De, and said in a cold voice: "You don't care if you have the intention of rebelling or not, you made a puppet witch Gu, and you want to disturb the harem. Fact. You didn’t burn this doll earlier, you didn’t burn this doll later, but you waited for midnight to burn this doll, what is your intention, Concubine De?”

"Your Majesty... Please forgive me once and give me a chance." Concubine De was frightened.What is the worst thing about this troubled harem?This is a serious crime she cannot bear, and it will not only hurt her, but also her Li family.

"Forgive you? Forgive you. I'm afraid God and my ancestors will not forgive me. You want me to make such a joke. You want me to be restless during these thirty nights, and you want me to live without even one night." Okay. Why should I forgive you? You give me a reason." Li Huang said that his eyes had a fierce light, as if he was about to swallow Concubine De alive.

Concubine De collapsed to the ground immediately, her eyes filled with tears...

Li Huang glanced at Concubine De, and ordered in a deep voice: "Jingrui, block the news, don't let this matter go to the palace and the front for the time being. Just say, Concubine De is disrespectful, has no womanly virtue, and is not worthy of sitting She is one of the four concubines. Her title of Concubine Virtue was removed and she was demoted to be a beauty. Tell her to move out of the main hall of Mingyu Palace, and all the people of Mingyu Palace will be sent to the Huanyi Bureau as slaves."

Li Huang flicked his sleeves and left Mingyu Palace.Concubine De suddenly collapsed to the ground, her face covered with tears.Concubine De knew that she would never have a chance to reset, and she might not be able to pass this first month again.
