Chapter 177: Concubine Lius Misery, Qinger Gets Married (2)
What happened today is too dangerous, he can't let her take risks with her, let alone let her know his plan. Therefore, he had to arrange her to a safe location in advance.
While speaking, holding her hand, Meng Fuying leaned slightly behind her, leaning over her arms, then slowly closed her eyes, and unexpectedly fell asleep.
"Sufeng, take the princess to Liebao." Xuanyuanye looked at Meng Fuying in his arms, and whispered to Sufeng behind him, now, only there is the safest place.
"Yes." Su Feng naturally understood Xuanyuan Ye's meaning, and responded respectfully, with a slight move of his hand, the carriage hidden in the dark came quickly.
Xuanyuanye carefully carried Meng Fuying into the carriage and put it on the quilt that had been spread long ago, but he did not leave immediately, but said softly, "Fu'er, after today, all this is over, I will It will take you to a place where there is no competition and no danger, and you can live a free life."
He knew that she liked that kind of life the most, and when he said this, there was a slight smile on his face, and now, in his heart, he really longed for that kind of life.
As long as the crown prince is removed, as long as the situation of the Xuanyuanye dynasty is stabilized, he will take her away.
At this moment, Meng Fuying, who was fast asleep, naturally couldn't hear his words.
Xuanyuan Ye thoughtfully arranged the pillow for her, then got up, and when he jumped off the carriage, the softness on his face quickly disappeared, looking at the speed to one side, he said in a deep voice, "Protect the princess well."
The reason why he ordered her bed was because he didn't want her to accompany him on adventures.
Because, he knew that Xuanyuan Che's real purpose this time was for her, so no matter what, he couldn't let Xuanyuan Che find her.
"Don't worry, my lord, as long as my subordinates are here, no one will hurt half of the princess' hair." Su Feng said solemnly.
Xuanyuan Ye nodded slightly, glanced at the carriage again, and said with a little reluctance, "Let's go."
He still has too many things to do now, today's battle is too dangerous, he can't be careless.
Su Feng responded respectfully again, and then drove the carriage away in person.
Xuanyuan Ye watched the carriage go farther and farther, then quickly turned around and quickly dodged in the opposite direction to the carriage.
Early in the court, the emperor announced in public that Xuanyuanye's military power would be withdrawn.
All the ministers in the court were startled and looked at the emperor in disbelief.
"Your Majesty." After the Prime Minister came back to his senses, he quickly moved forward and said slightly tremblingly, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the Emperor to withdraw the military power of the Seventh Highness at this time."
"Okay, don't say any more, I have already decided on this matter, and the soldier talisman has been taken back." The emperor coldly interrupted the Prime Minister's words.
Meng Yuntian frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his expression, but he didn't say anything.
He knows the emperor and the seventh prince very well.
It is impossible for the emperor to withdraw the military power of the Seventh Highness for no reason, and it is still at the most critical and dangerous time. I'm afraid there is something else wrong with this matter.
Moreover, if the emperor really wanted to deal with His Highness the Seventh Highness, it would be impossible to just withdraw His Royal Highness's military power and not his. After all, Fu'er is now the Seventh Princess.
Seeing that the emperor directly dismissed the prime minister, and Hou Ye didn't say anything, they all kept silent, and no one dared to speak. ,
In Heshou Palace, the Queen Mother has already woken up early, after all, today is Qing'er's wedding day.
After getting up and letting the palace maid finish dressing her, Meng Fuying was still nowhere to be seen, and she couldn't help saying with a little doubt, "It's strange, today is the day when Qing girl gets married, why hasn't Ying girl entered the palace yet?" ?”
While speaking, there was a slight sadness in her expression. Could it be that Ying girl still blamed her in her heart and didn't want to see her, so she didn't enter the palace?
"Going back to the Queen Mother, His Highness sent someone to send a message just now, saying that the Seventh Princess has caught a cold and is inconvenient to enter the palace." A guard outside heard what the Queen Mother said, and replied in a low voice.
"Are you sick? Did the imperial doctor see it?" The queen mother said hurriedly when she heard that Meng Fuying was sick, but, thinking that Ye'er hurts Ying girl so much, is there any need for her to worry about it? It's just a cold, not a serious illness.
"Okay, Ai's family will go to Qing girl's place to have a look." The queen mother let out a breath, then stood up, supported by Hongyu, and walked towards Xuanyuan Qing's yard.
Xuanyuan Qing has already woken up, and the maids are putting on makeup for her. After all, she is a bride today, so she can't be sloppy.
The Empress Dowager walked into the room and saw Xuanyuan Qing sitting in front of the dressing table with a chuckle and happiness on her face, she couldn't help feeling a little more relieved in her heart, this girl can finally have a good home.
"Qing'er pays respects to Grandma Huang." Xuanyuan Qing saw the Empress Dowager walking in from the mirror, got up again and again, and saluted.
"Okay, okay, sit down." The queen mother quickly moved forward, held her down, then took the comb from the maid's hand, and said lovingly, "Today's hair, the imperial grandma will give you a plate. "
The hand holding the comb trembled slightly, and there was a bit of reluctance on her face. Once Qing'er got married, the chances of coming back were very, very few. She didn't know if she would see her again in her life. To Qing girl.
Qing'er, this child, has a hard life. His mother and concubine passed away very early. In this palace, every step of the way is startling and difficult.
Xuanyuan Qing was slightly startled, her eyes were a little moved, but she also understood what the queen mother was thinking, so she didn't refuse, but sat down again, allowing the queen mother to comb her long hair slowly.
The Empress Dowager's craftsmanship is pretty good. It didn't take long before she finished the hair.
"My concubine pays respects to the Queen Mother." At this time, the concubines from all the palaces also rushed over, and when they saw the Queen Mother here, they all saluted one after another.
It's just that Concubine Liu is missing.
"Hey, why didn't you see Concubine Liu?" After scanning those concubines, Concubine Mei said with a little doubt, although Concubine Liu doesn't usually like to be lively, but today is the princess getting married. She doesn't show up, it seems Some can't justify it.
"Yeah, why is it so late, she hasn't come yet, maybe she overslept?" Concubine Ming also echoed at any time, although she said that, but there was a bit of obvious strangeness on her face.
Everyone knows that Concubine Liu is usually cautious and prudent, and it is absolutely impossible to oversleep at this time.
"I heard that Concubine Liu was thrown into prison by the emperor last night." A little maid behind one of the concubines suddenly whispered.
As soon as she said this, the entire hall was in chaos, and everyone's eyes shot straight at the palace lady, all of them were stunned.
"You, what did you say, say it again." Concubine Mei couldn't help but asked anxiously. He also got up quickly and walked to the side of the little maid.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, the little palace lady was stunned and realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, but at the moment when Concubine Mei asked her, she dared not say nothing, so she explained slightly tremblingly, "Servant... slave is listening to Liu The maid next to the concubine said that she came early in the morning to tell the servant that Concubine Liu had been imprisoned in the sky prison, and she was afraid she would not survive, so she gave some of the broken silver and a letter she usually saved to the servant, so that The servant helped her bring it to her family, and the servant and her were originally from the same village."
It should be said that not many people knew about this matter, and the few people who knew about it last night would not talk nonsense, so this matter did not spread.
The emperor thought that today was Qinger's wedding day, so he temporarily suppressed the matter. Once the matter spread, the whole palace would definitely be in chaos, and it would definitely affect Qinger's affairs.
It's just that no one noticed a slight sneer in the little maid's slightly lowered eyes.
"Well, what's going on here?" Concubine Mei was stunned, exclaiming in disbelief, "Okay, why did you get locked up in the prison?"
"Yes, what is going on?" Concubine Ming also said with a serious face.
"No, I'm going to ask the emperor." Concubine Mei was the most irritable, she got up quickly, and wanted to go out.
"Stop." The Queen Mother shouted coldly, no matter what, Qinger's affairs are the most important thing today, and no one or anything can affect Qinger's affairs.
In Xuanyuan Qing's eyes, there was a bit of worry, why, the night before she got married, such a thing happened,
Does this matter have anything to do with her marriage?
Will it?
Inexplicably, she couldn't help feeling a little more worried.
"Qing'er, don't worry, Grandma Huang will let you marry off in a safe and prosperous manner." The queen mother turned her eyes, saw the worry on Xuanyuan Qing's face, and comforted her softly.
Things happened too suddenly, to be honest, she also felt a little worried, and Fu'er was not here today, and there was no one to help her.
She dare not count on these concubines of the emperor, as long as they don't make trouble for her.
Concubine Mei stopped involuntarily, turned around, looked at the queen mother, and said with a little grievance, "Queen mother, the emperor has not invited women from the harem to sleep with him for a long time. Even if we women in the harem are dissatisfied, we are not afraid of it." Dare to have the slightest complaint, but the emperor suddenly put Concubine Liu in the sky prison. If you say that Concubine Liu is usually the most honest and responsible, what does the emperor mean by this? Could it be that..."
"Shut up for the Ai family." Hearing her words, the queen mother couldn't help but roared angrily, this woman is really capable of causing trouble, how can she let her talk nonsense in the current situation.
Originally, all the concubines panicked.
Concubine Mei's body trembled slightly, but she also obediently kept her mouth shut, not daring to say anything else.
"Your Majesty does things according to His Majesty's discretion. If Concubine Liu really did her duty, His Majesty would definitely not imprison her in the dungeon. There must be a reason for His Majesty's doing so." The Empress Dowager's eyes swept over those Concubine, the deep voice carried a majesty that no one dared to defy.
The words paused slightly, and seeing that everyone was quiet, he said again, "Today is the day when the princess gets married, and this matter is the most important. You must not delay this matter because of anything. From now on From now on, if anyone dares to bring up Concubine Liu's matter again, the Ai family will never forgive them lightly."
Xuanyuan Qing looked into the Queen Mother's eyes with a hint of gratitude. If the Queen Mother were not here at this moment, those concubines would have been in chaos by now, who would care about her.
"The welcoming team will be here soon, you all go get ready." The Queen Mother quickly glanced at the concubines again, and said again in a deep voice.
"Yes." The concubines responded one after another, and then they all got up quickly to get ready.
The eyes of the little palace maid just now showed a bit of annoyance, but now that the queen mother spoke, whoever dared to disobey followed her master and left.
After all, it is a marriage between the two countries, and the worship is only done in Beiyuan country. Therefore, the time is not so strict, but the general wedding is around noon, because the general worship time is around noon. It is the rule of the Xuanyuan Dynasty that it is noon.
When it was almost noon, the team welcoming the bride had already arrived outside the palace.
The emperor also came to Xuanyuan Qing's palace in person, seeing Xuanyuan Qing who was dressed properly, his face was slightly more relieved, but, thinking of what Ye'er said to him earlier, deep in his eyes, he couldn't help but fainted slightly. A trace of worry.
Those concubines saw that the emperor was not as attentive as usual, and there was a little awe on their faces.
Even Concubine Mei stood upright, not daring to move or make a sound.
Xuanyuan Qing followed the emperor out of her palace yard, and there was a sedan chair parked outside, which was the sedan chair for Xuanyuan Qing to be sent outside the palace gate first.
Xuanyuan Qing walked slowly towards the sedan chair, but for some reason, she felt more uneasy.
The bright red wedding dress wrapped her body, and under the sunlight, it was strangely dazzling, but the bright light could never dispel the worry in her heart.
A faint, always feeling that something bad is about to happen.
It's just that today is her wedding day, and the wedding party is waiting outside, so she has to go.
So, I can only step lightly and slowly get on the sedan chair...
The empress dowager's eyes followed Xuanyuan Qing all the time, and the reluctance in her eyes was obviously a bit more, but, women will always get married when they grow up, so, in her heart, she was still happy for Qing girl.
It's just that, up to now, even Ye'er hasn't seen it. Even if Fu'er has a cold and can't enter the palace, Ye'er usually loves Qing'er very much, so he will come to see Qing'er today, right?
Why didn't Ye'er show up?
Faintly, she also felt that something seemed strange, and she couldn't help but feel a little more worried.
"Get up the sedan chair." Just at this time, the **** shouted, interrupting the Queen Mother's thinking.
The Empress Dowager's eyes saw the sedan chair carrying Xuanyuan Qing slowly leave...
