Chapter 190 Passing through the cold palace(1/2)
From Emperor Jinghe's second brother, Liu Mingqi remembered his son.
Poor Brother Mingguan was involved in this dispute by his father for no reason, and he also had to die to protect his father!
He is the most innocent person!
Finally, I realized that I was wronged, but I had to use my own life to save King Li's life.
"Mom, how is King Li now?" Liu Mingqi asked, "Are you executed or imprisoned?"
Princess Yu, who is good at dancing, knows the most clearly about the affairs of Prince Yu's mansion.
Sure enough, Princess Yu immediately said, "How can I execute it? The emperor is in a coma, who can still discuss this matter? He is now staying in the Heavenly Prison in the Palace! This guy, either wait until the emperor wakes up and deals with it, or wait until the new emperor ascends the throne... Alas, in short, he will most likely not be able to die!"
At the end, Princess Yu was still full of disappointment.
This is not surprising.
Although Emperor Jinghe was killed by King Li, it is very likely that he was his last two sons, but Liu Mingguan begged him in such a resolute way that with the emperor's character, he would probably not execute King Li.
Not to mention the newly ascended emperor.
It is also necessary to give King Li a way out in the name of King Ning who was unjustly killed for no reason.
Otherwise, even the court officials would say that the new emperor was cruel and unkind.
Of course, you may not say so.
If the emperor is paralyzed because of illness, his mind and nature change greatly and he directly kills King Li, then there is nothing to say.
"No matter who else is, when will I go home?" Liu Mingqi asked.
"No hurry yet."
King Yu waved his hand, "Your Majesty's life and death are uncertain now, and you may need your efforts. Your grandmother wants you to stay in the palace for a longer time, what do you think?"
"Then I'll stay." Liu Mingqi said helplessly.
He also understood that at this time, because of his role, the Empress Dowager would not let him leave.
But the boy didn't like the atmosphere in the palace very much.
Or, there is no better home in your own place.
Princess Yu began to sigh again, "I was planning to find a concubine for me recently. Now, if something happened, I'm afraid I won't be able to calm down for three to five months, if..."
"Shut up, stop talking!"
King Yu quickly stopped his wife, "The emperor must be lucky and auspicious, and there will be no problem!"
After being married to Princess Yu for more than 20 years, Prince Yu knows his wife very well.
She must have wanted to say, "If the emperor returns to heaven, he will not be able to marry his son."
King Yu didn't want to hear this because of emotion or reason.
After all, the emperor is his elder brother.
Princess Yu didn't say it on purpose. She smiled embarrassedly and didn't mention it again.
She was happy that her son had no time and had not yet become an emperor.
...
After Liu Mingqi had lunch, Prince Yu and Princess Yu went home.
Because the house arrest was lifted, Liu Mingqi could stroll around.
He originally wanted to go and see Princess Changle, but when he arrived at Sihao Palace, the guards told him that Princess Changle was the first time when the emperor was unconscious, the queen ordered Princess Gong to take her out of the palace to stay for a few days.
This is to help Xiao Nianyu avoid seeing such human tragedy.
Liu Mingqi thinks it's right.
Otherwise, she would know what happened and really don't know how to explain it to her.
You know, Xiao Nianyu is almost fourteen years old now and can be regarded as a big girl.
Because I have drunk a lot of milk in the past two years, I have grown to over 1.6 meters. In this ancient times, I was not short.
Liu Mingqi was surrounded by several eunuchs and Qianniuwei.
Since you can't find Princess Changle, Liu Mingqi just wandered around.
Before he knew it, he came to a slightly remote place and saw a lonely courtyard with very high walls.
The reason why I feel strange is that it is close to the walls of the palace, there are no buildings around it, and the exterior tiles are a bit dilapidated and look very withered.
But at its doorstep, there were two eunuchs standing, and another group of Qianniu Guards were still patrolling around.
"Where is this place?" Liu Mingqi asked, pointing.
"Report to your highness, this is the cold palace." A eunuch replied.
"Oh, this is the cold palace." Liu Mingqi looked at the legendary place and asked casually: "Is there many people in it now?"
The eunuch smiled and said, "I don't know about this slave, please forgive me."
Liu Mingqi looked at him, "You are afraid you don't know, but you dare not say it, right?"
This eunuch and the others could only laugh foolishly and couldn't reply.
"Actually, this cold palace should not exist, at least it should not exist in the palace." Liu Mingqi sighed: "Otherwise, take them all to the small village by the sea, let them do some work, and get in touch with the local people more... In this way, you can accept punishment and make your life a little angry, so that you won't stay in it every day and people will go crazy."
“Ahhhh…”
As he was saying this, Liu Mingqi and the others heard a woman's scream from inside.
The eunuchs' faces changed.
A man quickly advised: "Your Highness, let's go! Otherwise, there may be taboos after staying for a long time..."
"good!"
Liu Mingqi was not curious either, so she turned around and left.
How many people in the palace are innocent?
The most important thing is that sympathy is useless. He is not the emperor and cannot release the people inside.
However, if Wang Bo Su or Mingjing ascended the throne, Liu Mingqi could persuade them to open their favors and release others, at least not to be locked in this cage.
...
The boy had no idea that he missed the best opportunity to meet the young lady.
Of course, the young lady didn't know that Liu Mingqi had passed by the cold palace, and she was less than 100 meters away from her recently.
The young lady at this moment was cooking tea with her two servants.
These two servants are only fourteen or fifteen years old this year. They just attacked for a while and were then given to Qiu Xiang by the empress dowager, who served her on weekdays.
Qiu Xiang didn't know what the Queen Mother meant, but looking at the two little girls being young and cute, she treated them sincerely.
It was like treating the two little maids Xing'er and Tao'er before her.
These two little girls, Qiu Xiang, named them Zaoer and Lier.
Most of the time Qiu Xiang teaches them to read and read, then draw and do embroidery, and their lives are fulfilling.
At least it was not as violent as those two concubines.
“Ahhhh…”
Hearing this scream, Zaoer wrinkled her little face: "This Concubine Shen is not as good as the younger Concubine Chen. Recently, the frequency of screaming is increasing... I heard it last night!"
Qiu Xiang rinsed the tea set elegantly and said, "It's good if you get used to it. If you don't, your life will be hard in the future."
Li'er helped her and asked, "Miss, don't you say that you can't live long according to her state?"
"Besides her, there are other people coming in." Qiu Xiang said with a smile, "This cold palace has never been free since ancient times... That is, the emperor is kind now, otherwise, he would have been overcrowded."
"Then the emperor's heart is not very kind and kind. At least he locked you up Miss..." Zao'er said, "When will you go out?"
"I'm afraid I won't have a chance either." Qiu Xiang smiled, "But, you can leave the palace in at most three to five years, and then marry a good family, have children, and live a happy life!"
"I don't want it"
The two little girls quickly said, "We are going to accompany the lady... wherever you are, we are!"
"Two little fools!"
Qiu Xiang touched their little heads, "You will know when the time comes... the world outside is still more exciting."
After saying that, without waiting for their objection, Qiu Xiang said, "By the way, didn't you ask me, what happened when the fire suddenly broke out in the palace a few days ago?"
"Yes, yes!" The two little girls were immediately distracted.
"I guess, something must have happened in the palace." Qiu Xiang said.
"Why?"
"Think about it, if it is an ordinary fire, there are people everywhere in the palace. Can it be burned for so long?" Qiu Xiang said with a smile, "There are only two reasons for this fire."
“What are the two reasons?”
