The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

352 Chapter 352

Master Hou's movements were so fast that Concubine Jing didn't even have time to react, and she was taken to the door.

Of course, the main reason is that she didn't expect the old master to do this suddenly, and she herself was out of the situation.

The one who is more out of the situation than her is the emperor.

The emperor looked at the old Hou Ye who was dressed in night clothes, and at the hand of the old Hou Ye holding Concubine Jing's wrist, his mind exploded at that moment!

He only heard a hum, and then his mind went blank!

The scene in front of him was so exciting that he lost his voice!

Old Hou Ye paused.

He obviously didn't expect to run into the emperor either, obviously when he passed by the imperial study room, he saw that the light inside was still on, he thought the emperor would review the papers for a long time.

Concubine Jing was the first to react, she withdrew her hand abruptly.

However, the old Hou Ye subconsciously grabbed her hand back again, and only after he grabbed her hand did he realize that something was wrong. Unfortunately, a catastrophe had already been caused.

The emperor was furious, thunder and lightning angered: "Gu Chao!"

Old Hou Ye shook his body and let go of Concubine Jing's hand.

Surprised by the emperor's stern shout, it was Nanny Cai who had gone to Gongfang.

Cai Momo saw Concubine Jing and the old Lord Hou inside the threshold, and also saw the angry emperor outside the threshold, what else did she not understand?

She cursed inwardly for committing a crime, how could she have made such a big mess in just walking away for a short while!

If she had known this, she would have held back just now!

The emperor tightly clenched his fists, and almost exhausted all his strength to suppress the urge to behead the old Hou Ye. He squeezed out words from between his teeth: "Gu Chao! What happened? What? You'd better explain it to me!"

If the old Jijiu was here, there would be countless rhetoric to smooth this matter over. Believe it or not, the emperor can't believe it. In short, he can't admit it if he is killed.

However, Old Hou Ye is not such a temperament, he uses soldiers like a god on the battlefield, he is surprisingly cunning, and he never tires of deceit, and his mind on the battlefield seems to stay there.

In private, he is a straight-forward person, not at all as cunning and shameless as old Jijiu.

The emperor didn't catch him, so he didn't need to explain to the emperor, but the emperor bumped into him, so it was pointless to argue.

He knelt down with a plop, knocking so hard that the floor almost cracked.

"Your Majesty!" He raised his head and said sadly, "Your Majesty is guilty!"

Madam Cai sees every stitch,

Pointing to his nose, he said, "Of course you are guilty! As a servant of His Majesty, His Majesty trusts you so much, yet you sneaked into the palace in the middle of the night and hijacked the concubine dowager!"

Admit it, admit it, old Hou Ye, quickly take the blame on yourself, and don't implicate the empress!

Behind the big tree not far away, an inconspicuous little eunuch retreated quietly, ran all the way to Renshou Palace, and reported the movement of Huaqing Palace to Eunuch Qin.

Ouch, don't watch the bastards for the excitement!

Eunuch Qin happily went to report to Queen Mother Zhuang.

"What's so interesting about this?" Empress Dowager Zhuang was not interested in Concubine Jing's affairs.

But Eunuch Qin wants to see it!

Heart scratching!

Eunuch Qin said earnestly: "Look, there are quite a few pieces of meat. You have been acting with His Majesty for so long, and you should see results! Step her down early, so you don't have to act anymore?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang thought it would be feasible, put down the booklet in her hand and went to Huaqing Palace.

The atmosphere in Huaqing Palace was so solemn that everyone couldn't breathe. The palace people knelt down on the ground, trembling!

"The Empress Dowager arrived—"

Following Eunuch Qin's transmission, everyone lowered their bodies even lower.

Concubine Jing and Nanny Cai glanced at this side at the same time. Empress Dowager Zhuang was wearing a gorgeous and expensive phoenix robe with phoenix wings embroidered on the body and wide sleeves. She was walking slowly in the dark night. It gives people a kind of pressure from the judge.

The old Hou Ye and the emperor faced each other silently, and did not look at the Empress Dowager Zhuang, but even so, the two still felt the aura from her.

Eunuch Wei saluted the Empress Dowager Zhuang.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang walked up the steps, glanced at everyone, and asked calmly: "Oh, it's so late, and the Huaqing Palace is still so lively, even Mr. Gu is here. Why is Mr. Hou kneeling? ? He even knelt in Master Jing’an’s meditation room.”

Speaking of this, the emperor remembered that the old man Gu Chao was kneeling in the wrong place. He gritted his teeth and said, "Get out and kneel!"

Old Hou Ye knelt in the yard.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang asked slowly: "What happened? Your Majesty will punish him to kneel?"

Cai Momo hurriedly said: "The Empress Dowager doesn't know something. The old Hou Ye sneaked into the palace in the middle of the night and hijacked the Concubine Dowager. If His Majesty hadn't arrived in time, the Concubine Dowager might have met with misfortune."

Empress Dowager Zhuang raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Hijacking the concubine? Ai Jia remembers that there are dragon shadow guards left by the late emperor in Huaqing Palace. Are all the dragon shadow guards dead? Do you still have to wait for your majesty to come to rescue the concubine?"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face changed abruptly!

He was so angry just now that he forgot that he had sent the Dragon Shadow Guard to Concubine Jing's side.

That's right, with the Dragon Shadow Guard around, how did Gu Chao get close to Concubine Jing?

It won't be the Dragon Shadow Guard who is distracted again!

Even if he was distracted for a while, the Dragon Shadow Guard should have turned back after he had been here for so long.

The Dragon Shadow Guard never showed up, so there is only one possibility: Concubine Jing asked them to retreat!

Therefore, it was not Gu Chao who hijacked Concubine Jing!

It's the two of them...the two of them...

The emperor forced himself not to think about those two words, but Eunuch Qin uttered them in surprise: "Ah! In the middle of the night, Mrs. Jing'an did not want to escape from the palace with the old master, did she?" ?”

Eunuch Wei said: "Yes, yes! You don't really want to escape from the palace privately, do you?"

Nanny Cai was going crazy, she gave Eunuch Wei a hard look, where are you from!

Eunuch Wei covered his mouth, hey, his mouth is full.

"Eunuch Qin! Be careful!" Nanny Cai yelled!

But what's the use of her being loud? It was just a bluff.

The facts were before his eyes, and no amount of sophistry could resolve the fact that the Dragon Shadow Guard hadn't made a move.

Concubine Jing looked at Empress Dowager Zhuang beyond the threshold through the dark night.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang doesn't even have an heir, but she can still stand in the harem for many years. Could it be just luck?

It's not that she doesn't know those tricks, it's just that there are some things she doesn't bother to fight for.

And this seems to have given some people the illusion that she is nothing more than that, that she can do nothing but take the scapegoat and chill her heart.

Zhuang Jinse is proud.

The proud Zhuang Jinse would not come to see Concubine Jing's excitement, let alone throw stones at Concubine Jing.

She disdains.

Zhuang Jinse has changed.

She is still proud, but there is something more than proud.

Concubine Jing tightly squeezed the string of Buddhist beads in her hand.

Empress Dowager Zhuang smiled coldly: "Over the years, the Ai family asked you several times if you want to come back, but you always said no, it is good for you to stay in the nunnery, and the Ai family thought you were being polite."

As she spoke, she gave Old Hou a meaningful look, "So it's the truth."

The Empress Dowager Zhuang stopped and took Eunuch Qin and left after speaking.

Cai Momo was in a hurry: "Queen! You can't talk nonsense! When did you ask the empress dowager if she wants to go back to the palace!"

Did the Empress Dowager Zhuang ask?

of course not.

but.

Are they only allowed to put a hat on her?

In this situation, at the right time and place, this old lady is going to cheat you to death!

The Empress Dowager Zhuang who bent her waist for five candied fruit is so domineering!

Men are always very concerned about this kind of thing, because they are concerned, so they are suspicious. The words of the Empress Dowager Zhuang undoubtedly became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Cai Momo knelt down and begged bitterly: "Your Majesty! Don't listen to the queen mother's nonsense! The empress dowager and Mr. Gu are innocent! The empress dowager has never said anything like that to the empress dowager! The empress dowager has never sent People go to the nunnery to ask the concubine to return to the palace! The concubine is your concubine! You have to trust her! Your Majesty! You must trust the concubine—”

The emperor's heart hurts.

It hurts more than when he learned that the old Jijiu became his father.

Perhaps it was because he subconsciously understood that the old Jijiu and the Empress Dowager Zhuang could not be real. A woman like the Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't need any man.

She is too strong, too powerful.

However, his concubine Jingmu was weak and helpless, and Gu Chao saved her life again.

When he hesitated whether to agree to Gu Chao's request for marriage, she was the one who spoke for Gu Chao.

Could it be... Could it be that she really had Gu Chao in her heart?

He looked at Concubine Jing injuredly, and said with red eyes: "If I hadn't happened to meet you, would Concubine Mother... have left with him?"

At this moment, he finally understood where his sadness was.

Even if the Empress Dowager Zhuang really had a man, she would not give up the country or power.

She is still the aloof Empress Dowager Zhuang, and she is still his mother. No matter how much he hates her, dislikes her, and hates her, he can never get rid of her.

Concubine Jing just wanted to abandon him.

She doesn't want him anymore, and she doesn't want her own son anymore.

The Emperor's throat swelled.

He turned around, holding back the tears in his eyes: "...you guys go."
