Chapter 346 Leading the snake out of the hole (eleven more)
The sky in July is a bit darker than in June.
The emperor came out of the imperial study room, and there was only the last touch of gray and blue in the sky. When he walked back to the Huaqing Palace, even the last touch of bright color was gone.
Night falls, and stars flash in the sky.
The emperor entered the Huaqing Palace, and the palace people saluted him one after another.
He asked: ”Can you sleep well?”
A little **** said: ”In response to your Majesty, there is no.”
The emperor said to Wei Gong just: ”I will go and see the concubine empress, you go back by yourself.”
Old slaves are not tired.
Ugh.
Duke Wei reluctantly responded: ”Yes.”
The emperor went to the dormitory of the Concubine Jing. She was kneeling in front of the altar, holding the prayer beads in one hand, tapping the wooden fish in the other, closing her eyes, and reciting the Buddhist scriptures religiously.
The emperor didn't bother, and waited quietly for her to finish knocking on the wooden fish.
After Madam Cai helped her up, she seemed to see the shadow on the ground. She turned her head and looked at her, laughing and crying: ”When did your majesty come? How long has it been?”
The emperor said: ”I just came here. After listening to my mother and concubine reciting the Buddhist scriptures for a while, my heart suddenly became much quieter.”
Jing Taifei looked at him and said: ”Have you been upset recently?”
Naturally, there are torrential rains, natural disasters, bandits and man-made disasters, and it is heard that Chen Guo borders is ready to move, and even the murderer who stabbed the quiet concubine in secret has never looked down.
The previous few have Zhaoguo civil servants and generals to deal with, but the last murderer made the emperor helpless.
”It's nothing, it's just the state affairs, and I feel a little tired.” The emperor decided not to bother Concubine Jing.
”Mother Cai, go to my room and bring the soothing fragrance.” Princess Jing ordered.
”Yes.” Madam Cai retired in response.
The emperor assisted Concubine Jing to the Qiuhua Pavilion.
The two sat down on the chairs.
The little palace lady offered dim sum and scented tea, which was the favorite of the Jing Toffee. The emperor liked Longjing, but he could not drink strong tea at night.
”Go and get some fruits.” Princess Jing said.
”Yes.” The little palace lady turned around and brought a plate of fresh grapes and a few delicious pears.
Princess Jing was about to cut a pear for the emperor, but as soon as she picked up the dagger on the table, the teacup in the emperor's hand fell with a bang.
Tsao Jing was taken aback: ”Your Majesty, what's the matter with you? Is it hot?”
”No, I didn't hold it firmly.” The emperor squeezed cold sweat and said.
What's the matter with him?
Jing mother concubine was just cutting him a pear, but the scene of Jing mother concubine stabbing him with a knife in his nightmare flashed in his mind.
I'm really exhausted lately, and my brain is not bright.
Princess Jing put down the dagger and pear, took the veil and wiped the tea from the emperor's lap, but the emperor unconsciously leaned back.
Jing Taifei's hand froze in the air, staring at him in a daze.
The emperor realized his missteps and scolded himself for being unfilial. How could he chill his mother's heart because his mother and concubine care about him so much?
He took the veil from the Concubine Jing and said: ”Don't get the clothes of the mother concubine wet, I will come by myself.”
Jing Toffee smiled: ”Okay.”
Fortunately, the emperor did not lose his stance again. The mother and son talked very happily. It was not until Grandpa Wei came to report that the old Jijiu asked to see him, and the emperor stood up and said goodbye to Princess Jing.
Quiet Toffee said: ”I will send the soothing fragrance to your bedroom.”
The emperor smiled and said, ”Thank you, mother and concubine.”
The emperor went to the imperial study room.
Old Jijiu respectfully saluted: ”Chen, see your Majesty!”
The emperor walked around to the desk and sat down and snorted coldly, ”Okay, don't make these wasted gifts, what's the matter of entering the palace so late?”
”Your Majesty, Jiaojiao was assassinated!”
”What!” The emperor stood up abruptly, ”How could she be assassinated? Where is the person? Is she injured?”
Lao Jijiu sighed secretly. Even if you have a conscience, you still know that you care about Jiaojiao.
”Your Majesty, don't worry, these are all things that happened several days ago, and her injuries are not serious.”
The emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but soon frowned again? ”These? How many times was she assassinated?”
Old Jijiu said: ”Three times.”
