The general and I form a pair

The three of them changed their attire, pretended to be servants in the palace, and entered Fengqi Palace unimpeded all the way.Gu Yan frowned slightly, thinking that the journey had gone too smoothly, so he kept an eye on him and guarded the door.

After all, it was the queen's bedroom, Ah Qing didn't dare to be too presumptuous, turned her back, raised the gauze curtain, and winked at Gongsun Jian.

With her head down, Gongsun Jian walked to the bed in small steps, but she didn't look back when she saw Ah Qing.He also didn't take the pulse to diagnose the disease, but took out a pill for the queen to swallow, and then pretended to inject needles on several points on her body.

After a cup of tea, Gongsun Jian immediately withdrew and said to Ah Qing, "I'm awake for the time being. If you have anything to ask, I'll go and watch at the door."

Gu Yan glanced at Gongsun Jian, although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask at this moment.Just nodded to him: "Thank you."

Gongsun Jian exited the dormitory, closed the door, and saw Director Li suddenly appear, but Gongsun Jian was not surprised, but led him to the next dormitory.

Cheng Kangdi is waiting for him here.

"Holy."

Just as Gongsun Jian was about to salute, Emperor Chengkang gave him a hand: "Mr. Gongsun, you are welcome. I am really sorry for tossing Mr. twice this night."

Gongsun Jian shook his head and smiled, "Who made Ah Qing so clever?"

Cheng Kangdi looked at the boundless night sky, and his voice was a bit ethereal: "Tell me, will Ah Qing..."

"Your Majesty is relieved. Ah Qing and the Major General are broad-minded. They put the country first in everything and will not act impulsively. With Ah Qing's smart mind, the Holy Majesty thinks that he really has no doubts about the Jingnan Palace. Have you passed?"

Emperor Chengkang sighed: "Ah Qing was born noble. He was supposed to be the son of King Jingnan. He was carefree, but he was troubled since he was a child, and because of Heyang's disaster, he almost sacrificed for Daliang. The Xue family is so loyal. After all, it is me. owe them."

"For the sake of the world, the Holy One has no choice but to do it."

----

In Fengqi Palace, the queen sat up slowly, and when she saw Ah Qing and Gu Yan in front of her, she was stunned for a moment.

"Why are you here, Bengong, what's wrong with Bengong?"

"Your Majesty, don't panic. Your Majesty is sick and has been in a coma. We have hired a genius doctor to diagnose your illness. Your Majesty is only awake temporarily. We are here to ask your Majesty some old news, and I hope your Majesty will tell you the truth." Gu Yan said.

The queen has been in a trance for the past few days, naturally because of that old incident. Hearing Gu Yan's question and seeing Ah Qing's burning eyes, the queen sighed: "Sooner or later, we can't hide it."

"If we want to talk about this matter, it can be traced back to 18 years ago. The New Year is approaching, and all countries sent envoys to Daliang to pay homage. In that year, the Southern Tang Dynasty sent His Royal Highness King Yu and Princess Zhilan. The Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty also intended to Find a relative for Princess Zhilan in Daliang. Therefore, King Yu asked me to bring Princess Zhilan by my side and help to watch over her."

"Princess Zhilan is beautiful, with a gentle and virtuous disposition. This palace likes her very much. If the crown prince was not young at that time, this palace really wanted to make a match. Princess Zhilan didn't find a man she liked in Shangjing that year. The Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Holy Majesty did not force it, everything is based on Princess Zhilan's wishes."

"Therefore, Princess Zhilan went back to Southern Tang with King Yu after she paid pilgrimage in various countries. After that, Princess Zhilan often communicated with this palace. Heyang was still young at that time, and she couldn't even speak clearly. There is no girl who speaks intimately. Although Princess Zhilan is young, she is very understanding, and I have a good relationship with her."

"After a few months, Princess Zhilan stopped sending letters to the palace. I was worried about it in my heart. After inquiring, I found out that Princess Zhilan died of illness, and I was sad for a long time. I haven't waited for my palace to recover. God came, the Holy Majesty fell ill again."

"It is said that sickness comes like a mountain. The Holy Majesty is usually in good health. How could he have thought about this sickness, and he almost passed away. If it weren't for the presence of several ministers, the court would have been in chaos. It was also at that time, Yingcheng There is news of King Jingnan's rebellion."

"Of course the courtiers wouldn't believe it, but the more the news spread, the more evil it became, and there was conclusive evidence. Once the Holy One fell ill, the ministers of the court did not dare to make a decision lightly. Later, it was said that King Jingnan had already occupied the southern boundary, and if he wanted to Go across Lingshan."

"At that time, it was my elder brother Chen Bi who guarded Lingshan. The courtiers couldn't sit still anymore, so they asked me to write a letter and ordered Chen Bi to act according to circumstances. If King Jingnan really had the intention of treason, Slash."

"Later, the development of the matter was no longer under the control of this palace. It is only said that the Chen family army captured the Jingnan Palace, and everyone in the palace died."

"I was uneasy in my heart, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. It wasn't until the Holy Majesty woke up and learned of this, that he was so anxious that he almost passed out. The Holy Majesty dragged his sick body, dealt with the matter with thunderous means, and found out the truth behind the incident. Ruiwang and others designed it."

"Chen Bi neglected his duty and was arrested and brought back to Beijing. He only said that his subordinates were bought by others, which led to the tragedy in the Jingnan Palace. As for who was bought, he was vague. This case involves Prince Jingnan, and I know the details of this matter." Big, so he bribed the jailer and met Chen Bi."

When the queen said this, her eyes were full of remorse and self-blame.She stroked her chest and took a deep breath.

"Chen Bi said that the person who wrote the letter to Chen Jiajun was Bengong. He couldn't make a mistake, the handwriting, and the private seal of Bengong, and even the tone of speech, were exactly the same as Bengong. Bengong never wrote After such a letter, even Chen Bi believes that the letter is true. The Chen family army also believes it. If more than half of the Chen family army must obey, only this palace has the ability."

"I don't know what to do at all. Chen Bi said that he had destroyed the letter and got rid of all those who knew about it. He told me to keep quiet and pretend that I didn't know anything."

"Bengong is scared, how dare I say it. Just when King Rui was arrested, the case is considered closed. Chen Bi committed suicide, and I also kept this matter a secret. After that, the Chen family also deliberately arranged by Bengong, Stay away from the court. At that time, the Holy Majesty had just appointed the emperor's son as the crown prince, and I felt guilty, so I ate fast and worshiped Buddha every day, and prayed for everyone in the Jingnan palace."

"It was a long time after the incident that I dared to think about it. The letter was destroyed and there was no way to find it. I checked the people who served me one by one, and there was nothing suspicious. Later, I overheard the princess Zhilan mentioned by the maid of honor. This matter, Ben Gong suddenly remembered that apart from the people around her, the only person who can get the handwriting and private seal of Ben Gong is Princess Zhilan."

"They can copy the letter sent by Bengong, and then create a private seal to forge the letter. At that time, Bengong realized that Princess Zhilan's death was too sudden and strange. It was just behind Princess Zhilan's back. Who is the person responsible for this matter, I don't know yet. After two years of worrying, no one mentions this matter, and I am a little relieved. More than ten years have passed in peace until King Yu appeared."

"I don't understand the current situation in the court, and I don't care about it. But judging from recent events, King Yu's appearance at this time must have a conspiracy. I once heard the emperor's son mention by chance that the Jingnan Palace was back then. Some people in the Southern Tang Dynasty made a move on the case. Recalling that in the past, King Yu always appeared next to Ben Gong and the emperor intentionally or unintentionally, and Ben Gong suddenly realized that what happened back then may have something to do with King Yu."

"Ben Gong, I'm scared. If Chen Bi had left the letter behind, maybe he could have found some clues and found the person who forged it. But the bad thing is that Chen Bi destroyed the letter and wiped out all the people who have seen the letter." In this way, even if the matter was not done by the palace, there is no way to refute it. Without clues, the person behind it can not be found, and it will leave time for King Yu and others to plan. If I knew that there would be today, I would have fought hard back then Fate, I should have admitted this matter with the Holy One!"

"You don't know that the day King Yu entered Beijing, he gave me a 'big gift', all of which were letters from my palace and the Southern Tang Dynasty in those years. Just imagine, there is a queen who had an affair with another country and even indirectly killed King Jingnan , my Chen family will definitely be punished, and the emperor's son and the crown prince are also out of luck. They want to completely cut off the emperor's way!"

At this point, the queen said, her mood was hard to calm down: "You understand the situation in the court better than this palace. The Holy Majesty has dealt with the Zhou family all these years. If the emperor's son loses the crown prince because of this, the second prince who is the most vocal will definitely try his best to persecute the Holy Majesty. The Zhou family is ambitious, and once the second prince wins the throne, the Holy Majesty will also be constrained by him."

"I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and I am used to the intrigues of the concubines in the palace, but I didn't guard against a fledgling little girl. Someone took advantage of the loophole and imitated my handwriting to mobilize the Chen family army and kill King Jingnan. I regret it !"

In the case of the Jingnan Prince's Mansion back then, if it hadn't been for the Chen family's army to capture the palace and defend Lingshan to death, they would have cut off Xue's army's retreat.Jingnan Palace will not be destroyed overnight.

The legal system in Daliang is loose, except for major crimes such as treason, which implicate the nine clans, the rest of the crimes are at most no more than the exile of the clan.Chen Biyan said that there were traitors in the Chen family's army. At most, Chen Bi was convicted of lax military management and miscalculation of the current situation.Therefore, after Chen Bi learned that King Jingnan had been framed, he immediately destroyed the 'letter' to protect the queen and the Chen family.

Unexpectedly, Chen Bi's actions played into their hands.

"It seems that those people know the temperament of the Queen and Chen Bi very well." Gu Yan said.

"Being able to endure for more than ten years, their perseverance is really admirable." Ah Qing didn't know what to say anymore.

The Queen may not know, but the Holy Majesty is aware of the details, and their small private actions probably cannot be hidden from the Holy Majesty.How could it be so easy to enter Fengqi Palace today, if it hadn't been arranged by the Holy Majesty in advance.

At this point, Ah Qing didn't want to ask any more questions.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, your Majesty is just being used by others."

The queen looked at Ah Qing with tears in her eyes: "You, don't you blame me?"

Ah Qing smiled and said: "The empress has chanted scriptures for my Xue family for so many years, and Chen Qi has been guarding the ancestral hall of my Jingnan Prince's Mansion for many years. Ah Qing, how can there be resentment. People have mental calculations without intention, who would have guessed it. "

"Ah Ching..."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to think about this matter anymore, don't meddle in it, and don't tell His Highness the Crown Prince. Your Majesty will handle it."

The queen looked at Ah Qing in astonishment, the corners of his lips curled up with a soothing force.The queen instantly understood that everyone knew it, but she was the only one who thought they didn't know.

The queen gave a wry smile: "My palace, how lucky you are. Your son, how lucky you are."

When we returned to the general's mansion, it was already dawn.

No one could sleep that night.

"The Holy Majesty has never forgotten my Jingnan Palace. As expected, the person who lurked the most in the dark was King Yu. The Holy Majesty may know everything, but he can't show his temper for a while. Daliang, Southern Tang , They want to put the world first." Ah Qing looked at Dongfang with a pale belly, and his mood also relaxed.

Gu Yan patted him on the shoulder: "Let's leave the rest to the Holy One. Go to sleep for a while while it's still early."

"Okay, remember to call me when the time comes, I don't want Gu Ting to ask for leave for me anymore."

Gu Yan smiled knowingly: "Okay."
