Chapter 140: Anger
The carriage slowly moved forward on the street, and Min Ruoxi suddenly opened the curtain of the carriage and said to the coachman: "Go to the Prince's East Palace!" ”
Aunt Ying was stunned, "Your Royal Highness Princess, where are you going, what are you doing?" ”
"I'm going to see my brother, what kind of wolf-hearted heart he has to do such a heart-wrenching thing. I'm going to ask him face to face, what is all this for? Min Ruoxi said calmly.
"Your Highness, things have come to this point, what's the benefit of going, it's just to add to the upset." Aunt Ying persuaded: "It's better to go back, it's better not to see him, he is still your brother after all." ”
Min Ruoxi closed her eyes, and Aunt Ying could only sigh when she saw this.
The carriage turned around and headed towards the former prince's East Palace.
In the past, this was the most lively place in Beijing, from morning to night, the carriages and horses were endless, all of them were to meet the officials who came to visit, the rich gentry who asked to see, now, the whole street is very desolate, the original smooth stone road, the weeds stubbornly drill out of the cracks in the stones, can already be up to the ankles, a few birds flying from nowhere, are chirping in the grass, from time to time with their long beaks rummaging on the ground for something, hearing the sound of the carriage rolling over the ground, raise their heads, small eyes and bones look at it for a long time, then flapped his wings, flew up, and landed on the high gatehouse, but still never left.
The original Prince's East Palace is now almost a deserted garden. Originally, the vermilion gate was mottled, the plaque on the lintel, the couplet had been taken away, and the bare one looked particularly conspicuous, and the only thing that showed the difference here was the more than a dozen internal guards standing or sitting at the gate.
They are just guarding the door, and inside, there are still a large number of internal guards stationed. After An Ruhai led the internal guards into the prince's East Palace, the people here could no longer enter and leave at will. The Prince's East Palace Mansion has become a nameless prison, but inside, the first person below the former Great Chu Emperor, the former Prince Min Ruocheng and his family, are locked up.
Seeing that a carriage drove into this alley, the guards in front of the door immediately stood up, and the first person pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, strode forward, and when he got closer, he saw the logo on the carriage, he was slightly stunned, and then he was terrified, and immediately knelt on one knee on the ground, and said loudly: "Huang Zhen, the general of the inner guard, has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Aunt Ying pushed open the car door, Min Ruoxi bent down and walked out, the dazzling sunlight made her eyes squint slightly, staring at the Donggong Mansion that was now depressed, her face seemed to be smiling, "Now it can really be called a door." ”
Jumping out of the carriage, Min Ruoxi walked towards the gate without squinting.
"Your Highness!" Seeing Min Ruoxi's movements, Huang Zhen couldn't help but be anxious, walked a few steps on his knees, and stopped in front of Min Ruoxi: "Your Highness, you, you can't go in." ”
Min Ruoxi stopped and looked at the internal guard general coldly.
"Who says I can't go in?"
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has issued a will, and without Your Majesty's personal order, no one can step into the East Palace for half a step. Violators will be killed! Huang Zhen broke out in a cold sweat.
"Okay, you asked the second brother to cut off my head!" Min Ruoxi smiled, flicked his sleeves, and bypassed Huang Zhen, and walked straight towards the door, leaving Huang Zhen behind him, staying in place, his face covered with cold sweat.
More than a dozen internal guards stood in front of the gate in a row at this time, looking at Min Ruoxi who came over, but they didn't know what to do, the person in front of him was noble, and the emperor's will was valid for others, but for the person in front of him, I am afraid that there is really not much binding force, they are all internal guards, for what happened a few days ago, even if the top tried their best to block the news, but there were always some things that were half clawed, and they reached their ears.
"Get out of here!" Two words burst out of Min Ruoxi's mouth coldly, and more than a dozen internal guards were divided left and right, their heads were still kneeling behind them and sweating wildly, what are they, could it be that they dare to block the princess's drive?
The gate was closed tightly, Min Ruoxi's footsteps did not stop, walked directly forward, came to the door, stretched out his hand, pressed on the gate, the thick gate suddenly flew backwards, bang, far away in the courtyard behind the door, inside, there was a sound of exclamation.
Aunt Ying, who was following behind Min Ruoxi, was slightly stunned, before Min Ruoxi went to the Western Realm, her cultivation had already crossed the seventh level, which at her age, she could naturally be called a martial arts genius, after all, she had just turned twenty years old, but the strength shown by Min Ruoxi today had steadily crossed the threshold of the eighth level.
How did you enter the country so quickly? Yingru's heart was full of shock, these days, she had never seen Min Ruoxi spend even a little time on martial arts cultivation. Could it be that sadness and pain can actually be a help for cultivation?
My heart is full of incomprehension.
As the gate was blasted open, more people poured out of the palace, including internal guards, eunuchs, and palace maids. Of course, these people who can still move freely are all sent from outside to monitor the former prince's family.
Seeing Min Ruoxi coming violently, everyone was stunned at first, and then knelt down in the yard overgrown with wild grass one by one.
"Where is Min Ruocheng?" Looking at these people condescendingly, Min Ruoxi asked coldly.
"Your Highness!" A eunuch led by him raised his head, and Min Ruoxi was stunned to find that he was still an acquaintance, Qin Yi, the great eunuch who used to be with his father, but he didn't expect that after his father's death, he was actually sent here by his second brother to support the elderly.
"Qin Yi, where is he, take me there!" Min Ruoxi directly named her surname.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has a strict order, and no one can see him without Your Majesty's permission!" Qin Yi said with a bitter face. After the death of the first emperor, as the most powerful and caring eunuch in front of the first emperor, he could still leave a life to come here to retire, it was already a fluke, Qin Yi knew that if it wasn't for the last period of time, he took the initiative to reveal a lot of news to His Royal Highness, I am afraid that he would have been reincarnated by now. Now that he has been sent here, it can be regarded as His Royal Highness's reward for himself, and for him, he is already very satisfied.
I know too many royal secrets, but if I don't know how to do it, I'm afraid that I will die soon.
"Your Highness wants to see him, I wonder if there is any will of His Majesty?" Qin Yi asked boldly.
"I don't have any will. But if you don't take me there, I'll burn down this prince's East Palace, do you believe it or not? Min Ruoxi sneered, her eyes wandering, as if looking for somewhere for her to set the fire. The huge territory of the Prince's East Palace, if these people deliberately don't let themselves find Min Ruocheng, they can just shove him anywhere, and they can't find it at all.
Qin Yi was the same as Huang Zhen outside, cold sweat flowed wildly, this princess's temperament is what she says. really let her set a fire, but I'm afraid that I can't get rid of it. He knew what Her Royal Highness the princess was doing. I'm afraid of the person in front of me, now I really hate Min Ruocheng to the core, she really dares to set fire.
Who can do anything to her?
Standing up tremblingly, Qin Yi could only sigh that he was unlucky.
"The minion will lead the way for His Highness." Bending over and bending his back, Qin Yi slowly walked towards the inside.
It is still a familiar road before, once upon a time, Min Ruoxi came and went here freely, and was extremely familiar with everything here, but now, the scenery is still what the scenery is, but the things are different.
In front of the door of the study, two internal guards silently opened the door, and Min Ruoxi stood at the door and looked inside.
The study room was empty, there was nothing on the huge bookshelf, and the study room, which used to be richly decorated, now only an empty shelf, a bookcase, a chair, and some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones were scattered on the bookcase.
Her eyes were like fire, she stared at Min Ruocheng fiercely, her mouth full of teeth and gritted loudly.
This person has loved her for decades, brought her a lot of laughter, made her feel warm love, and it is also this person who has made her experience a thousand miles of escape and give her an unforgettable pain. The two emotions were intertwined in his heart, and the two images kept flashing in his mind, which also made the expression on Min Ruoxi's face extremely complicated.
Min Ruocheng raised his head from the book and looked at Min Ruoxi standing at the door in filial piety clothes in amazement. After a moment of consternation, a smile appeared on his face.
"Xi'er, I didn't expect you to come to see me!" He stood up, and he could see that he was happy from the bottom of his heart, "Also, you are the only one who can come here to see me now." ”
Although this sister is the same brother as him, the Min family has zero incense, and the relationship between the two has been excellent since childhood.
"Thanks to you, your sister is now a widow!" Staring at Min Ruocheng, Min Ruoxi said lightly.
Min Ruocheng's body shook for a while, and when Min Ruoxi had not come back, he was locked up in the East Palace Mansion, and since then he has cut off contact with the outside world, and he has no idea what happened after Min Ruoxi returned to Beijing.
"Xi'er, what are you talking about?" He frowned, although he was only a first-order prisoner now, and his status was inferior to that of ordinary people, and he was afraid that he would live a miserable life, but this frown, his face, and his innate majesty were still unconsciously presented on him.
Min Ruoxi sneered, stepped into the door, approached Min Ruocheng step by step, stretched out his hand, grabbed Min Ruocheng, and actually lifted Min Ruocheng in the air.
"What you've done yourself, do you still ask me with an innocent face? Min Ruocheng, when you were mad, did you ever think that those 60,000 sons were our people of Dachu? Min Ruoxi's arm shook, and Min Ruocheng was smashed into a corner of the study. (To be continued.) )
