Chapter 242 In the Name of Grandfather Cheng Wu
Xiao Lingzhao was overjoyed when he heard this. There were many female relatives in the East Palace, but how many of them were not crying right now? She was the only one who was as calm as Cheng Cen. Thinking of the world-famous great writer, his father was also a little afraid!
Throughout the ages, scholars have been the most troublesome. In every reform, scholars have not been at the forefront. They may not dare to revolt directly, but the high morals of scholars can kidnap those in power. Moreover, this dynasty uses imperial examinations to select talents, and scholars are also the pillars of the future.
"If your highness has anything to say to your father, I beg you to bring it all to me once you see me." Cheng Cen said sternly: "There is one more thing that I would like your highness to do - to appease my mother, which I can't do at this time.
To offend my father."
Empress Chen didn't know the importance of it, and she was still putting on airs about the empress. Gao Qi was involved in it. It would be okay if he died. If not for Gao Qi's concubine, the empress was currently causing chaos in the East Palace.
Cheng Cen thought so just because he was annoyed.
Xiao Lingzhao is now desperate, and there is a chess piece that can be used by her side. Naturally, she will do whatever she says, but she also has doubts in her heart: "How can you see my father?"
Right now, the East Palace is surrounded by flying dragon legions, and not even a drop of water can leak out.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will find a way." After Cheng Cen finished speaking, he covered Xiao Lingzhao with a quilt and took the medicine on the side: "Please take the medicine, Your Highness."
Xiao Lingzhao drank the medicine and recounted the grievances he wanted to complain. Cheng Cen had an extraordinary memory and repeated the complaint word for word. Then he got up and left. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw the concubine Gao collapsed.
On the ground, her face was horribly swollen and her youthful beauty was gone.
She turned a blind eye and only saluted the queen, then went behind the palace door and said loudly: "Cheng Cen, Crown Princess of the East Palace, in the name of my grandfather Cheng Wu, sincerely asks the commander to convey to the emperor, my son Cheng Cen, my request to see you!"
The queen was originally angry at Cheng Cen's rudeness, but she immediately turned off after hearing this.
In the name of my grandfather Cheng Wu!
This sentence still carries some weight with Emperor Yuan. Now Emperor Yuan refuses to see everyone in the East Palace, and she has also been deprived of the opportunity to speak. If Cheng Cen can see her, there may be a glimmer of hope for the East Palace!
There was no sound outside for a moment, and Concubine Gao, who fell to the ground, smiled coldly. If her face hadn't been so painful that she couldn't speak, she would have ridiculed the Crown Princess as usual. Before he could get proud, Commander Meng's voice sounded outside the door:
"Princess, wait a moment."
Meng Tianqi always only obeyed the orders of Emperor Yuan, but it was rare for him to treat Cheng Cen like this. The empress was overjoyed, and Concubine Gao softened her body.
The closed door of the East Palace opened again, and Meng Tianqi met him with a sword in his hand. He was full of anger. He actually ignored Queen Chen, turned aside and stretched out his arm: "Crown Princess, Your Majesty invites you."
It’s done! It’s really done. The queen was overjoyed and did not pursue Meng Tianqi’s arrogant attitude.
Cheng Cen was already taking steps, but suddenly stopped, turned around and said to the Queen: "Mother, please be safe. I will be back soon."
After saying that, Cheng Cen stepped forward and followed Meng Tianqi away, and the palace door was closed again. This time, Queen Chen felt a little at ease. If she were standing next to Cheng Cen at this time, she could see a faint smile on the corner of the princess's mouth.
Ruo Yu Wu's smile.
When Cheng Cen entered the imperial study, he saw Zuo Pingdao and Eunuch Hong waiting on her left and right. She was about to salute when Emperor Yuan waved his hand and said, "That's all."
"Thank you, Father." Cheng Cen was not surprised that Zuo Pingdao also stayed in the palace. Eunuch Hong moved a chair and said with a smile: "Crown Princess, please take a seat. Your Majesty said that the Crown Princess has made a great contribution this time.
You deserve to be rewarded.”
Emperor Yuan held Gao Qi's suicide note and said with admiration: "Mr. Cheng Wu is famous all over the world, and his grandsons are no less generous. Did you learn this skill of imitating human handwriting from your grandfather?"
Zuo Pingdao's eyes narrowed slightly. Gao Qi's suicide note seemed so magical that even Gao Qi's close confidants couldn't tell the truth from the fake!
He was originally curious about where this suicide note came from, but he didn't expect that it was actually written by the Crown Princess!
Zuo Pingdao finally looked at Cheng Cen who was already seated. Cheng Cen had a dull appearance and could only be called a delicate beauty. When she entered the East Palace, the prince was dissatisfied and thought her beauty was not worthy of him. The prince did not know it at that time.
One day I will fall under this woman's feet.
Soon after Zuo Pingdao got involved in the case, he discovered that the links were very tight. Perhaps they thought that only Gao Qi could get the fake guards into the palace, but they forgot that there was a higher-status master in the palace - the current Holy Emperor!
The Zuo family can serve as officials in Dali Temple for generations. If you can't realize this, you will be blinding the Zuo family's bloodline. So Zuo Pingdao quickly made a choice to obey the biggest master today and act accordingly.
It doesn't matter how Gao Qi died, he could only commit suicide after all, and the most important thing is the suicide note written by him. He not only confessed personally, but also admitted that it was under the instruction of the prince and the queen. Zuo Pingdao originally also prepared one, but he didn't
I thought Mr. Hong would send another letter.
Compared with the letter he prepared, the handwriting of the letter provided by Eunuch Hong was even more similar. Even he was surprised at the first moment. Looking at the writing style, it was exactly the same as Gao Qi's tone. It was obvious that he not only imitated the handwriting, but also Gao Qi.
The language habits have also been studied.
Gao Qi is the uncle of Concubine Gao and has close contacts with the East Palace. It seems that the Crown Princess found an opportunity to obtain Gao Qi's previous letters, or perhaps His Majesty delivered them in person, and she took action after studying them.
Cheng Cen's expression did not change, and he remained motionless in the face of Zuo Pingdao's inquiring eyes. He only admired Emperor Yuan's accurate vision in his heart. He had already seen at a glance that she did not marry into the East Palace sincerely, and she was not happy staying in the East Palace, and wanted to escape from this place.
cage.
She is willing to work with Mr. Zuo to become His Majesty's sword and bring down the Eastern Palace!
It's ridiculous that the Queen and Xiao Lingzhao still hope that she can say a few kind words in front of His Majesty and save the East Palace from danger. It's extremely ridiculous!
"You came out of the East Palace. How is the situation there?"
"The Empress is looking for trouble with Concubine Gao and has no time to take care of her son. However, His Highness the Crown Prince has high hopes for his son." Cheng Cen lowered his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has many words for me to bring to Your Majesty."
"No need to say it." Emperor Yuan said: "The Crown Princess worked hard, the Queen and the Crown Prince had ulterior motives, and the people hired murderers to direct and stage the assassination in the East Palace, which caused the guards at the West City Gate to die in vain. In order to atone for her sins, the Crown Princess voluntarily entered the imperial temple to copy Buddhist scriptures.
There is no need to go back to the East Palace."
Cheng Cen was excited and hurriedly stood up and said: "My dear father, thank you very much!"
However, she still had doubts in her heart, so she heard Emperor Yuan say in a deep voice: "What you ask for will be granted after the dust settles."
Cheng Cen finally let go of his heavy heart. For some reason, the figure of the consort flashed in his mind. Thinking of Qin Feng's identity at this time, his heart felt sour. After going round and round, it was missed after all. She couldn't even express her feelings, so he
Became the Prince Consort.
Eunuch Hong personally sent someone to send Cheng Cen away. The East Palace did not need to return and sent the Crown Princess directly to the imperial temple. Zuo Pingdao was extremely alert and did not say a word from beginning to end, quietly listening to the conversation between Emperor Yuan and Cheng Cen.
.
"As expected of the granddaughter of a great writer, the imitation of the word is impeccable." Emperor Yuan squinted his eyes and saw that it was where the Minister of Dali Temple was standing.
