Chapter 791: Execution (10)
"Let's go." Ning saw that although Emperor Xi looked depressed, he still didn't show too much unacceptability, so he guessed that Emperor Xi was staring at the moment when he went to see Emperor Dusk, so he didn't want to delay, he just wanted Emperor Xi to see the queen's body as soon as possible, and then, so that Emperor Xi could rest and recuperate.
The group rushed to the palace without saying a word, and along the way, it turned out that not a single person who reported was useless, so they went directly into the Zichen Palace.
As the queen's bedroom, the Zichen Hall is now all hung with plain white satin, and even the palace people are covered with plain white silk, and only the smell of incense is strong in the whole palace, which seems to be pinning the endless sorrow of the living.
After the news of the queen's death came out of the palace, all the officials in Jincheng began to enter the palace to pay tribute to the queen.
Now there are thousands of officials in Jincheng, everyone comes with a lot of incense and candles, although there is no shortage of these things in the palace, it is the best way for them to express their filial piety, and because of this, the smell of incense in the Zichen Palace will be so strong.
As soon as Emperor Xi walked in, someone knelt down towards her.
Emperor Xi shook his head at Ning Yi, signaling that Ning Yi didn't need to support him anymore, and then walked into the Zichen Hall alone.
All the civil and military officials who came to pay their respects all knelt down at the temple gate, and the imperial seal passed through them as if through a man-made fence.
After walking through the civil and military officials, she could enter the main hall of the inner hall, and outside the main hall, she saw Ye Yueming in mourning clothes at a glance, at this moment, he was hanging his hands and lowering his eyebrows, not knowing what he was thinking.
Emperor Xi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then stepped forward, looked at Ye Yueming, and asked, "Your Highness, my sister is ...... she"
Hearing Emperor Xi's voice, Ye Yueming suddenly raised his head, just at a glance, he found that Emperor Xi's face was really bad, which made Ye Yueming a little worried, he looked at Emperor Xi and asked quietly: "Xi'er, why is your face so bad?" ”
"I ask you, where is my sister." It is rare for Emperor Xi to speak so sharply to Ye Yueming, even if Ye Yueming did such a thing to her at the beginning, she did not speak to Ye Yueming so ruthlessly, but now, she is questioning Ye Yueming in an almost malicious tone.
Ye Yueming pursed her mouth and said, "It's inside." ”
Emperor Xi glared at Ye Yueming again, and then walked into the inner hall.
In the inner hall, only Liancheng sat alone in front of the huge coffin, burning paper money little by little, and his attitude was very religious.
Emperor Xi only felt that his throat was choking, and when he shouted the name of Liancheng, he carried an imperceptible sadness: "Liancheng ......"
Hearing Emperor Xi's voice, Lian Cheng was stunned, and then hurriedly turned around and glanced at Emperor Xi, just a glance, and his voice also deepened: "Ah Xi, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Du'er." ”
Emperor Xi shook his head, and his voice lowered: "Sister Dusk...... Was he poisoned to death? ”
Liancheng raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Xi's clear gaze, and felt a pain in his heart: "No." ”
When Emperor Xi heard this, he was immediately surprised: "What do you mean?" Could it be Lian Yi? Did he do it to Sister Twilight? You tell me, it's not him! ”
"Ah Xi, don't get excited, it's me...... I let Mr. Kungo do it. Lian Cheng didn't push the problem to Lian Yi, but took the initiative to confess: "I asked Mr. Kunwu to dispense medicine for Du'er, she was too painful to live." ”
"You ......" Emperor Xi was so angry by Liancheng's words that her teeth itched, she glared at Liancheng, as if she wanted to see Liancheng through: "Do you know what you're doing?" That's a human life, that's my sister, the queen you are marrying, you actually treat her like this, you let me down so much! ”
The more Emperor Xi spoke, the more angry he became, and he actually raised his hand and slapped Liancheng.
There was a bang, and when it sounded in the inner hall, not to mention the emperor's seal, the people around were also shocked.
"Your Majesty!" The ministers who were kneeling outside the hall to hang themselves saw that the emperor actually slapped the emperor of the current dynasty, and they were all stunned: "Your Majesty, the lord of Nanyang is very disrespectful, this is the crime of bullying the king!" ”
"Shut up!" Lian Cheng stood up, lowered his eyelids slightly and looked at Di Xi, his face was hot, and he didn't care about it completely: "Ah Xi, if you hit me, you can get angry, just hit me a few more times." ”
"Your Majesty, you can't protect the county lord like this, Your Majesty's dragon body is precious, how can the county lord slap it? If you don't deal with the county lord, the world will be uneasy! The ministers outside were filled with righteous indignation, and they all pointed the finger at the emperor, which was like treating the emperor's seal as a thorn in the flesh.
Emperor Xi looked at them, a sneer rolled out of the corner of his mouth, and finally touched his nose, turned his head to look at the minister outside, and scolded: "Why not when I talk to my brother-in-law?" He is your emperor, but he is only my emperor's brother-in-law, what qualifications do you have to take care of our family affairs? ”
"The county lord of Nanyang is a big mistake, His Majesty's family affairs are state affairs, the county lord not only can't recognize this, but he also dares to beat His Majesty, this is an unpardonable felony, if you don't go to prison and behead, it will inevitably cause disaster, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice."
When Liancheng heard the statements of these ministers, he was even more furious: "If the people who have committed rebellion in our company can be forgiven, why do I want to punish the county lord? What are your intentions? Are you deliberately trying to see my joke? ”
"Your Majesty, this is not a thing at all, it is detrimental to the country if the county lord beats you in public......"
Before the ministers finished speaking, Emperor Xi raised his hand and sat down with a silent gesture, then looked at Liancheng without blinking, and said slowly: "I don't need your mercy, Liancheng, you listen, you killed my sister, I am not done with you in this matter." As for you, it's really wrong for me to beat Your Majesty, I have nothing to say, but who is my Nanyang County Lord? Where are you free to dispose of? I could go to the prison, but you didn't let me in, but I went there voluntarily as the price for my reckless actions. ”
After Emperor Xi finished speaking, she bowed deeply to Emperor Dusk's coffin, and then flicked her sleeves and walked outside, from beginning to end, she didn't look at Liancheng again.
Liancheng's mouth opened and opened, but he still didn't say a word, he just watched the emperor go away, and finally sighed fiercely.
leaned back and locked his eyebrows, glanced at Liancheng, and followed him out without saying a word, and Ning Yi also went out.
"Your Majesty, are you really just watching the county lord go?" Jiang Ying locked his eyes, obviously not believing that Liancheng would let Emperor Xi sit in the prison for a while.
Lian Cheng waved his hand, his tone extremely tired: "She needs to be calm and calm, and these people are also waiting for me to explain, why is she not giving me a step down by doing this?" Later, let's talk about it later. ”
Liancheng just wants to help Emperor Du handle the funeral, as for Ah Xi...... Liancheng believes that as long as Ah Xi is given time, she will understand him after all.
