Chapter 809 The Emperor Becomes Suspicious, and the Wedding Suddens
Before she could finish her words, she felt a cold sharp weapon scratching her throat.
Suddenly, the hot liquid flowed from her collar all over her body, making her unable to make any sound.
Her eyes were as big as copper bells, and besides fear, there was more disbelief in her eyes.
She knew she was pregnant, yet she still dared to kill her!
"You, you, are not, not afraid of the emperor..."
Even after using up the last bit of her strength, she still couldn't finish her last words.
The queen threw the bloody golden plate in her hand to the ground, with a slight smile on her face.
"Don't worry, I'll send him down to see you soon!"
………………
"what!!"
"The Imperial Concubine was killed!!"
After Jiang Yurao's death, Hanliang Palace was in chaos. The palace maids and eunuchs who had been kneeling on the ground obediently fled in all directions, with fear on their faces.
Seeing this, Yang Cai frowned slightly.
He looked at the queen and saw that her face was calm except for her eyes which showed indifference. Immediately, he transformed into the Shura of Hell and killed all the palace maids and eunuchs who were shouting.
There was only one palace maid left, who was kneeling on the ground and dared not move.
It was the palace maid who Jiang Yurao had ordered to be dragged out and beaten.
The queen looked at her, a hint of doubt between her brows, "Why don't you run?"
The maid never dared to look up, but still replied in a trembling voice: "The Queen saved my life, and I am willing to swear allegiance to you until death!"
The Queen chuckled.
Allegiance?
What loyalty is there for a dying man?
She said nothing more, just put her hands behind her back and left.
Yang Cai followed her and stopped only when they reached the outside of Hanliang Palace.
"Your Majesty, please go first. I will be back in half an hour."
The queen nodded.
No one discovered what happened in Hanliang Palace. Because Yang Cai was guarding the palace gate, no one dared to go in to check.
In the Taiji Hall, Liu Qin came in to report that the Queen had finished her morning prayers.
Emperor Qiwen frowned and looked up, putting down the pen in his hand.
Liu Qin was standing aside, but he found that the emperor did not stand up, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
"Yongzhou reported seeing Zhenli passing through Yongzhou, leading a large group of men and escorting a large number of black wooden boxes, heading northwest."
"Liu Qin, what do you think about this?"
Liu Qin immediately stepped forward, bowed his head and nodded, "Your Majesty, could this be a mistake?"
"General Zhenli has just returned to the National Defense Army. Right now, he should be discussing with Marshal Nangong how to fight against the Qingzhu and Beidi alliances, right?"
Emperor Qiwen pursed his lips and said, "How dare Yongzhou spread unconfirmed news to Kyoto?"
"This……"
Liu Qin didn't dare to speak anymore.
If the Governor of Yongzhou was not absolutely sure, there would be no need for him to report this matter to Kyoto.
It goes without saying that everyone knows who General Zhenli is. It also goes without saying who ordered Zhenli to leave the National Defense Army without permission.
So, what was the matter that had Prince Li asking General Zhenli to leave the Northwest Border? And what was in the wooden box that he personally escorted, as mentioned in the military report?
He didn't know, and the emperor probably didn't know either; but as the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. It seems that Prince Li is also hiding something from the emperor.
At this time, a young eunuch stood outside the inner study door, looking at Liu Qin eagerly, as if he had something to say.
When Liu Qin saw this, he bowed and said to Emperor Wen: "Your Majesty, the Empress has been waiting for a long time."
When Emperor Qiwen heard the word "Empress" again, his brows twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
Outside the Taiji Hall, the queen was still wearing her neat and clean civilian clothes. She stood at the door of the hall with an elegant temperament and a calm expression, which made people look at her sideways.
When Emperor Qiwen came out, his eyes changed slightly, and he asked in confusion: "Why is the Queen wearing such clothes?"
Didn't she say she wanted to catch up with old friends? Why is she dressed so casually?
After all, we are attending a wedding, so we should be more formal.
"Your Majesty, I have lived in the deep palace for a long time and am used to this kind of dress. It is more neat."
It is also convenient to kill people.
The emperor's eyes darkened and he said nothing more.
"Let's go."
........................
Xingqingfang.
When Jiang Dongping's wedding ceremony was halfway through, an accident suddenly happened.
Everyone was looking at the large hydrangea thrown on the ground by the groom in surprise, with confusion on their faces.
Even the bride was shocked and took off the wedding fan that was covering her face.
Wu Xiuxin's pretty eyes were filled with surprise and hurt, as well as a hint of unspeakable shame.
In the entire audience, only Baili Moqing and Shu He remained calm and composed as they watched the scene.
"Prince, what do you mean by this?!" A middle-aged man in gorgeous Shu brocade clothes spoke angrily in the crowd.
He is Wu Xiuxin's father, Wu Sancong.
Wu Sancong's father is a cousin of the father of Princess Zhuang Lian of Western Chu.
Zhuang Lian's original surname was Wu, but after his mother passed away, his father asked him to change his surname to his mother's: Zhuang in memory of his wife.
"Don't you know what this prince means, cousin?" Jiang Dongping looked at Wu Sancong with a cold expression and a meaningful gaze.
Jiang Zhenlei and Zhuang Lian stood up one after another, with ugly expressions on their faces, obviously too embarrassed to save face.
"Jiang Dongping! What do you want to do?!"
Zhuang Lian was furious. She knew that this brat would never be so obedient!
However, now that it was the wedding ceremony, how could he still act as he pleased?
If he does this, where will the reputation of the Western Chu Palace be?
"Mother, don't you want to know what kind of person your adopted daughter, your son's child bride, whom you have always loved, is?"
Wu Xiuxin's rosy face suddenly turned pale, "Prince, what do you mean by this?"
"It means exactly what it says!" Jiang Dongping looked at her coldly, with no disguising of the contempt and sarcasm in his eyes.
Wu Xiuxin only felt that her heart was contracting uncontrollably, and all the blood in her body seemed to be flowing backwards.
She tried hard to regain her sanity and cried silently: "Prince, you, you must humiliate me like this?"
"Sir, I know you don't have anyone else in your heart and don't want to marry me at all. But if you really don't want to marry me, why did you agree to this marriage?"
"Do you really want me to make such a fool of myself in front of the entire capital in order to relieve the resentment in your heart?"
