The Dayue Palace was brightly lit, and Wang De looked out from time to time, with a lot of sweat on his forehead.
Why hasn’t the Queen come back yet?
He was anxious in his heart when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside and hurriedly turned around to meet them.
"Wang De," Banhua strode into the palace, "How is your majesty?"
Because she was in such a hurry, her bun was a little messy and she was panting when she spoke. Wang De trotted behind her, "The imperial doctor is still treating His Majesty in the palace. The two places injured by the assassin are not fatal, so there is no danger to his life at the moment."
Passing through the outer hall, Banhua saw Rong Xia lying on the bed in the inner hall at a glance. She felt anxious, lifted up her skirt and ran to the edge of the bed. She stretched out her hand to caress Rong Xia's cheek to make sure he was breathing smoothly and was warm. After he became normal, he looked at the imperial doctor with a sullen face, "Is the wound serious?"
"Please rest assured, Madam, the assassin's ice blade is not quenched with poison, so after Your Majesty wakes up, you only need to take good care of your injuries." The imperial doctors answered honestly, not daring to hide anything.
"Wang De, tell me what happened." Banhua looked at Rong Xia's pale face, and his expression became even more ugly, "Have you caught the assassin?"
"Empress, the assassin has committed suicide. She is the maid beside you, named Yuzhu."
"Yuzhu..." Banhua's voice was a little hoarse, "continue."
Wang De told the story in detail, and Banhua laughed sarcastically: "She said I was the mastermind?"
The inner hall was silent.
"Yes."
"Your Majesty is alive and well, and I am the queen. If your Majesty is gone, what does this palace mean to you?" Banhua's smile became even colder, "Why should I kill your majesty?"
Based on the way she got along with Rong Xia, if she wanted to kill Rong Xia, there were many opportunities. How could she let a palace maid do it without even tempering the poison on the murder weapon? Although she doesn't like to use her brain, it doesn't mean she is stupid.
"Empress," Du Jiu hurriedly walked in with a solemn expression, "more than 20 ministers outside the palace cried out for injustice, saying that the empress assassinated Your Majesty, controlled the harem, and wanted the hen Si Chen!" Less than half an hour passed. , all parties involved were imprisoned in the palace, how was the news spread?
"More than twenty courtiers are nothing, why not invite all the civil and military officials," Banhua sneered, "If you want to be lively, then have a good time."
"Empress!" Du Jiu looked at Banhua in disbelief, what is she going to do?
"I see these men in the previous dynasty, and they have endless schemes and tricks," Banhua's words were filled with ridicule, "Since they say that I control the harem, then I have to show them what it means to control the harem."
"One armor!"
"My subordinates are here."
"Pass an order from me to summon the Cavalry Division, Infantry Division, and Shenjian Camp to wait outside the palace." Banhua turned back and looked at the man lying on the bed. "Since Your Majesty has not cleaned up those disobedient courtiers. If it's clean, then let me do it."
"My dear, no!" Seeing Banhua's appearance, Du Jiu stopped her and said, "If you really do this, what will the world say about you?"
"It doesn't matter what they say, as long as your master doesn't really think that I am Si Chen," Banhua lowered his face, "As you wish, please change my clothes and make up."
The imperial doctor next to him was so frightened that his hands were shaking. The queen could actually command all the troops in the capital. No wonder the ministers in the court were afraid of the queen.
In the Qinzheng Hall, more than twenty courtiers stood together, with serious and angry expressions. They were menacing, and their straight spines promoted their justice and painstaking efforts.
"For the sake of the people of the world, I will not hesitate to die. I only ask for death after the crime."
"The Demon Queen is so ambitious that she sent people to assassinate His Majesty and control the harem. What should we do now?" A young official who looked to be in his twenties stood up and said, "Should we allow the Demon Queen to harm the country and the people?! ”
"My lords, what's going on?" A man in purple robe walked in, his eyes swept over these seemingly indignant courtiers, "It's late at night, my lords, come to the Qinzheng Hall to make a speech. What?"
"Liu Banshan!" The young official pointed at him and said, "You and the Demon Queen plotted against His Majesty, how dare you come here?"
"My loyalty to Your Majesty can be learned from the heavens. I dare not accept your lord's arbitrary labeling." Liu Banshan sneered. How many idiots among these people were instigated by the real people behind the scenes? They think they are righteous, but in fact they are just some people who want to extend their hands into the harem and cannot see the deep love between the emperor and the empress.
As long as the Queen is a slightly ordinary woman, or His Majesty has the slightest suspicion of the Queen, their trick will work.
So these people still understand the heart of the emperor very well.
It's a pity that Ben Hou is not an ordinary woman, and His Majesty's trust in Ben Hou is beyond the imagination of these people. When Ben Hou was just a village queen, she dared to whip Tan Hua Lang in the street. Now that she is a queen, doesn't she still dare to touch these impure courtiers?
These idiots, Ben Hou just stayed peacefully in the harem for less than a year, and they forgot about Ben Hou's temperament. They are really looking for death.
Liu Banshan was too lazy to argue with them, and just said: "Your Majesty has a destiny. The Queen has the final say in the palace and the harem. If you sirs continue to make trouble, I can only punish you with treason."
"Master Liu just opened his mouth. Now that the Demon Queen controls the harem, your majesty's edict is just a mouthful of yours," an adult said sarcastically, "Unless I see your majesty giving the order in person, I'll wait. No compromise."
Liu Banshan sneered, waved his sleeves and walked aside: "It's up to you."
The courtiers who were preparing to be impassioned did not expect Liu Banshan's reaction. What did he mean by standing here?
After a while, many officials came to the Qinzheng Hall, both civil and military officials. The officials who wanted to defeat the Demon Queen were overjoyed when they saw this, and began to publicize Ban Hou's conspiracy, which persuaded many people.
What is weird is that none of the people who were persuaded have ever accompanied Rong Xia to conquer the world. Among the officials who followed Rong Xia to conquer the world, no one said anything. There were a few grumpy military attaches who even wanted to pinch them. Beat up those officials who talk like a demon queen with your fists.
Fortunately, he was quickly stopped by the people around him with quick eyes and hands, otherwise the palace would have been even more lively.
"The Queen is here!"
"The Demon Queen still dares to show up," an official looked at the door of the palace angrily, "Demon Queen, why don't you hand over your majesty quickly."
The ministers looked back and saw the queen walking in wearing a phoenix robe and a nine-phoenix crown. What's even more frightening is that she is followed by a dense crowd of soldiers. These soldiers have surrounded the Qinzheng Hall so tightly that not even a cat or dog can escape.
"Your Majesty is recovering from his injuries. Which rebels are making trouble here?" Banhua walked up the jade steps to the dragon chair and stood next to it. She slightly lowered her head and looked at the people standing at her feet, "Your Majesty has just been assassinated. Half an hour later, there were people with ulterior motives clamoring that I was the one plotting to murder Your Majesty. It seems that you all know the harem very well. Why don’t you ask these wise and well-informed adults to come forward and show me, so that I can I’ll also see the true face of you detectives.”
The whole hall was silent, and no one dared to speak.
"What, no more trouble now?" Banhua sneered, pointing at one of the adults, "You, I remember that you are an official of Yushitai, right?"
When the censor saw Banhua pointing at him, he was heartbroken and stood up and said: "Xiaguan is an official of the censorship station. If the queen has any advice, I will take charge of it."
"Who are you, you are not worthy of my advice," Banhua sneered, turning to point at another official, "You, Minister of Zongzheng Temple, a distant branch of the Rong family, you are just relying on His Majesty's face to get this. It’s a prestigious position, and it’s heartbreaking to be jumping up and down here with others.”
"Queen!" Qing Zongzhengsi is an older man and a relative of the Rong family. He cupped his hands and said, "Queen, there is no need to be so angry. The minister was just worried about Your Majesty but could not enter the palace, so he had to take this step. The Queen did not There is no need to be so angry if you do something rebellious. Just stay in the harem and wait for His Majesty to wake up and the truth will be revealed."
"Fart!" Ban Huai rushed out of the team and punched Qing Zongzhengsi, "You are an old man from a distant branch, you really think you are a relative of the emperor, and you actually point fingers at the queen. ”
The words Zongzhengji Qing said were unpleasant, but he did not dare to take action, or he did not expect that someone would take action against him. He is an elderly man, an uncle with a flaw in appearance and seniority, who dares to be disrespectful to him?
However, everything is unexpected, and he met Ban Huai, who was not stingy.
When Ban Huai heard these people talking about the Demon Queen, he couldn't bear it anymore. Now this old man dares to act like an elder of the royal family in front of his daughter, how can he still hold it back?
Is it important to rely on the old and act like the old? !
The emperor was injured and unable to preside over the government, and the queen had to be imprisoned in the harem on the charge of murdering the emperor? These people have such beautiful ideas, don't think that he doesn't know what they have in mind.
"Mr. Jingting, whatever you want to do, I am your Majesty's elder."
"I am still your Majesty's father-in-law!" Ban Huai sneered, throwing the talkative old guy aside, pointing at the officials who called his daughter a demon queen, "His Majesty has just been assassinated, and you want to kill him My daughter, I think the real murderers behind the scenes are you!"
"Father!" the son of Lord Zongzhengji cried and fussed, "Your Majesty, come and see, the Demon Queen is going to force us tribesmen to death."
Looking at his excellent singing and composition, Banhua walked down the jade steps and kicked the crying man in the face. Banhua was someone who had been on the battlefield, and his legs were very strong. In the blink of an eye, the man rolled out like a gourd.
The civil servants were dumbfounded, the Queen is...
"I am disgusted by the sight of this ugly man, howling and howling." Banhua's expression turned completely cold. "Come here, put all these troublemaking officials in prison. When Your Majesty wakes up, we will Conduct interrogation."
Banhua suspected that these officials were not so innocent.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please open your eyes and take a look. The Demon Queen has evil thoughts and will die a happy death!" An old official suddenly stood up and slammed into the dragon pillar.
Bang!
Suddenly blood splattered everywhere, and the official who hit the dragon pillar staggered and fell down.
A soldier came forward and checked his breathing: "Your Majesty, you are still alive."
"Take it down and let the imperial doctor take a look." Banhua sneered. This was not a storybook. He would die if he hit the pillar.
"Who else wants to bump into you?" Banhua sneered. "I won't stop you. You bump into each other as you please." If these people weren't Rong Xia's relatives, with Banhua's temper, they would have all been dragged out and beaten several times. Let’s talk about it later.
"Come on, hurry up," a certain dandy prince lifted his robe and sat down cross-legged on the spot, "If you don't collide, you are not a loyal minister, and we are still watching."
"Yes, yes, the more collisions you have, the more you can show your anger," a certain general yelled, "Don't worry, so many people are watching. When you are dead and disabled, we will tell His Majesty how loyal you are. ”
Being interrupted in this way, the courtiers who were originally making a fuss didn't know what to do?
Scold? To be beaten.
Hitting a pillar? People say you can bump into her as you please, but there are so many officials in the palace, and most of them are watching the excitement, and no one can stop them. How can the Demon Queen bewitch so many people's hearts?
"Hey, why don't you jump?" The dandy prince sitting cross-legged on the ground was dissatisfied. "I think you are not loyal ministers at all. You clearly want to take advantage of His Majesty's injury to deliberately bully the Queen, a weak woman."
"Are you considered men too?"
Is there a weak woman in the world who can kick someone away?
When encountering an overbearing and unreasonable dude, the courtiers causing trouble felt as frustrated as a scholar meeting a soldier. In desperation, they could only shout Rong Xia's name, pleading for their own grievances with every word.
"Your Majesty is here!"
This sentence was like a magic spell, suppressing all the noise in the court. Even the dudes who were sitting on the ground watching the excitement got up from the ground in a polite manner.
Ban Hua looked outside the hall in surprise. Rong Xia had suffered two injuries. When she came out, he was still unconscious. How could he come here? She unconsciously took a few steps outside and saw Rong Xia sitting on the chariot. Her face was as pale as paper, and even her lips were pink and white.
She ran to Rong Xia in three steps and said with a stern face: "You don't want your life. Why did you run out after being so seriously injured?"
"Be good, I'm fine." Rong Xia asked the **** to put down the chariot. He gently held Banhua's hand, "I've made you feel wronged."
"How can such a few idiots make me suffer?" Banhua was very close to him, so she could smell the blood on his body. It stands to reason that after the wound has been treated, the smell of blood cannot be smelled, but Rong Xia rushing from Da Yue Palace will definitely involve the wound and let the blood seep out.
Thinking of this, Banhua's face darkened. Could it be that even he thought that she would take this opportunity to seize power in the palace, so he hurried over even though he was seriously injured?
Rong Xia held Banhua's hand and did not let go, but he was sitting and Banhua was standing, so he did not see Banhua's face.
"Du Jiu," Rong Xia's voice was a little weak. As soon as he woke up, he heard that some ministers were making trouble. Huahua had a straightforward temper. He was worried that Huahua would suffer at the hands of these old foxes, so he rushed over.
"Wei Chen is here." Du Jiu looked sympathetically at the officials making trouble. Several of these people were distant branches of the Rong family. His Majesty originally gave them some idle positions for the sake of the master, but now they are calling the Queen a demon queen, and even cursing her to die a good death. How can Your Majesty tolerate them?
"Throw all those who are disrespectful to the Queen into jail," Rong Xia's voice became even softer. He squeezed Banhua's hand tightly and managed to regain his consciousness. "Those who curse the Queen will be treated as Those who are disrespectful to the royal family will be punished with a fifty-fifty rod and then thrown into jail."
With fifty sticks, is there still life?
The ministers were shocked. Seeing His Majesty behave like this, they all realized that these people had taken advantage of their courage and took advantage of His Majesty's injury to smear the Queen's reputation.
How can a queen with a stigma deserve to be treated wholeheartedly by His Majesty? At that time, some ambitious officials will have reason to ask His Majesty to have concubines, which will involve the former dynasty and the harem.
The smart courtier wanted to understand this and took a breath of cold air in his heart. He was afraid that many people were involved in this assassination case.
"My injury is not serious, but I still need to rest for a few days. If the adults cannot make the decision on major matters in the court, you can ask the queen." Rong Xia looked at Zhou Bing'an and others, "The queen's order is equivalent to For me."
"I will take my orders."
"Huahua," Rong Xia hooked Banhua's finger, "accompany me back to the palace."
Banhua held Rong Xia's hand in a daze, and did not come back to her senses until she left the gate of Qinzheng Hall.
He was seriously injured and rushed here just to support her?
He knew it was difficult for her to deal with distant members of the Rong clan, so why did he speak in person? From today on, who else in the court will doubt his feelings for her? Even because of today's incident, she will have a say in the court.
Rong Xia, you are so determined to win this world, why are you so defenseless against her?
After forcing himself to reach the boundary of Dayue Palace, Rong Xia smiled at Banhua with a pale face and said, "Huahua, I'm a little sleepy and want to sleep for a while."
"Beautiful appearance?!"
Banhua watched Rong Xia slowly close her eyes, and suddenly remembered that on the day her grandmother passed away, she spoke to her with a smile like this, but her closed eyes never opened again.
"Rong Xia?!" She turned pale, holding her chest and gasping for breath, "Imperial doctor, imperial doctor, tell the imperial doctor quickly!"
Rong Xia was carried to the dragon bed. The imperial doctors said that he was not in danger of life, but the wound opened just now and caused a lot of blood.
Banhua bent down and picked up the robe on the ground. His tentacles were covered with cold blood. She stared blankly at the unconscious man on the bed, and felt a sudden pain in her chest. It took her a while to recover.
"Empress..." Du Jiu turned around and saw Banhua's appearance. He was stunned before saying, "Your Majesty will be fine. Please take care of your body."
"I know," Banhua lowered his eyelids, "I am very good."
But she didn't know that her face was full of tears and her face was pale, so how could she look okay.
But Du Jiu didn't dare to persuade her any more. He was afraid that if he tried to persuade her again, the Queen would burst into tears. As his master's personal attendant, he rarely saw the Queen crying, let alone seeing her like this.
He didn't know what words to use to describe Banhua's current appearance, but he could feel that the Queen's affection for His Majesty was definitely not shallow.
"Have you found out who Yuzhu has been with?" Banhua walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, gently holding Rong Xia's hand.
Seeing that Du Jiu didn't speak, she turned to look at him: "Why, is there something you can't say?"
"Your Majesty, this is...Princess Anle," Du Jiu said, "Miss Yuzhu has an affair with a face raised by Princess Anle. My subordinates guessed that Princess Anle probably used this face to threaten her. She That’s why I agreed.”
"How can Anle, a princess who has fallen from power, pass the news to the palace?" Banhua's tone was so calm that Du Jiu was surprised, "Is he an official from a branch of the Rong family? They couldn't stand that His Majesty only favored me as the queen, so they chose In order to cooperate with Anle. It's just that Anle wanted Rong Xia's life, and they wanted to pin the assassination on me, so the message Anle passed to Yuzhu was changed by them."
"For example... let His Majesty be injured, but not fatally, and then put the charge of assassination on my head." Banhua sneered, "What a good show."
"Mother, everything is just speculation, maybe..." Du Jiu was speechless, "Maybe the truth is not like that."
"I caused him trouble." Ban Hua gently touched Rong Xia's pale lips. If she had touched him like this in the past, he would have taken the opportunity to hug her and ask for benefits. Today, he can only lie here. , motionless.
"Empress, what does this have to do with you?" Du Jiu knelt down on one knee, "This has nothing to do with you."
"If Your Majesty wants to be known as a benevolent and virtuous man, all he needs to do is save the lives of the deposed prince and the former empress dowager, give them a false reputation, and then imprison them." Banhua smiled bitterly, "As for those princesses and concubines It doesn't matter whether I keep his life or not. If it weren't for me, why would your Majesty be so kind to the Jiang family?"
"Empress, this is not your fault. Your Majesty is also lenient to the children of the former Queen Mother because of her family's care for him." Du Jiu is right, Princess Anle and Queen Mother Fuping Being able to live a good life in a villa instead of being sent to a Taoist temple is because the former Queen Mother's family took care of His Majesty.
"No matter what kind of friendship Your Majesty has with them, let me be this evil person today." Banhua touched her cheek and found that it was covered with cold tears. "Send Queen Mother Fuping to Prince He. Let her and Prince He guard the imperial mausoleum for the Jiang family."
"Then...Princess Anle?"
“Because she colluded with the harem and murdered the current emperor, but because of her friendship with the prince, she spared her death, so she was only removed from the title of princess and sent to an ascetic temple to become a nun. Without my order, she would not be able to die until she died. Come out for a visit." Banhua said in a cold tone, "Let someone go and issue the decree now, without delay."
"Yes." Du Jiu accepted the order and stepped back.
After Du Jiu left, Banhua turned to look at Rong Xia on the bed. After a long, long time, she sighed: "Who is more stupid between the two of us?"
The man on the bed did not respond. The only answer she had was the rising and falling of his chest.
"Mother," Wang De came in with a tray, "the medicine is ready."
When Banhua took the medicine bowl and was about to feed it to Rong Xia, she suddenly remembered that whenever she used medicine, Rong Xia would taste it, and then coaxed her that it was not bitter at all. After she drank it, he took snacks Coax her as if she were a child.
She lowered her head and took a sip of the medicine. It was bitter and astringent, even worse than the medicine she drank at that time.
Pushing the pillow up, Banhua took a sip of the medicine into his mouth, and then put it into Rong Xia's mouth. After feeding a bowl of medicine, Banhua's tongue was so painful that she lost consciousness. She took the tea and rinsed her mouth, wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "Wang De, clean up the people in the harem again, including the people around me."
Wang De responded in a low voice: "Yes."
"Step back."
Wang De bowed and retreated. When he retreated to the entrance of the palace, he accidentally raised his head and saw the Queen gently lifting His Majesty's quilt to cover him.
He walked out of the hall and looked at the crescent moon in the sky. It might be a sunny day tomorrow.
