The emperor had already rushed up just now, so as soon as the guards carried the corpse out, he saw that the stiff body shook suddenly, trembling uncontrollably.
His feet wanted to step forward, but they seemed to be out of control again. They just froze in mid-air and did not fall for a long time. After the **** behind him saw it, his face was worried, and he repeatedly supported him. He whispered, "Your Majesty, pay attention to the body of the dragon."
However, the emperor didn't seem to hear his words at all, his eyes just stared straight at the corpse, the corpse had been burnt beyond recognition, and he couldn't recognize anything at all, but he found it from Concubine Rou's room of.
When the guards carried the corpse to the emperor, they stopped. Seeing the emperor's appearance, no one dared to make a sound, but just put the corpse in front of the emperor.
The emperor's hand slowly stretched out, stretched out, with a little trembling and a little fear, and slowly stretched out to the face like black carbon, but only a few centimeters away from the face But suddenly stopped, and said again and again, "Impossible, she can't be Rou'er, Rou'er will not die, no, it's not."
He yelled as if he was mad, and there was obvious pain in his roaring voice, as if he wanted to comfort himself with the hasty denial.
His eyes suddenly turned to the house that had been reduced to ashes, and he shouted anxiously again, "Impossible, it cannot be Rou'er's."
He also sent two court ladies over, but now only one body was found, it shouldn't be Rou'er, no. Or just one of the maids,
"Your Majesty, two more corpses were found in the next room, but they were burnt beyond recognition, and they were unrecognizable." The shouts of the guards who continued to search made the Emperor's body tremble again, and also extinguished his body. A glimmer of hope has just risen.
Then, several guards carried out the two charred corpses again, but they just carried them out of the room and put them on the ground. Naturally, it is impossible to carry it in front of the emperor.
The emperor's eyes looked at the body in front of him again. The height and shape were very similar to Rou'er. Could this really be Rou'er?
Rou'er is really dead?
I don't know why, but when he thought of Rou'er's death, his heart suddenly throbbed, as if an unpleasant knife was slowly being sharpened in, and the pain was hard.
The trembling body slowly squatted down, squatting next to the corpse, stretched out his hand again, and supported the scorched face, it was extremely painful, but at this moment, the stabbing was not only His hands are his heart.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the emperor's appearance. The corpse was so dirty that the emperor didn't care at all, just touched it like that?
The concubines who rushed to watch the fun were all jealous, especially Concubine Mei, whose eyes were about to pop out, and the jealousy in their hearts was about to explode.
Concubine Ming couldn't get better, but she was a little better at covering up than Concubine Mei, not as obvious as she made it out to be.
Everyone knows that the emperor will never lack women, and he will never be able to fall in love with any woman. Every woman, after being pampered for a while, is just like that. Those with background, or those with means, can slowly climb to the position that everyone envies. Even if he is no longer young in the future, he can still keep his place.
As for those who have no backing, or are not smart enough, those who were killed were killed, and those who were abandoned were abandoned. In this palace, only newcomers laugh and old people cry.
Although the emperor has always loved Concubine Rou very much, he would still spend the night in the uterus of other concubines, and newcomers also enter the palace every year, so everyone thought that the emperor was not right because of Concubine Rou's peerless appearance. Concubine Rou moved sincerely.
However, seeing the emperor's appearance at this moment, it seems that he really loves Concubine Rou...
Concubine Liu's face showed no jealousy at all. When she looked at the emperor with her eyes, she was full of worry and pain. She didn't know whether she was sad for Concubine Rou or for the emperor.
"Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon body. Don't be too sad. Concubine Rou has already gone. If you are so sad, if you hurt the dragon body and sister finds out, you will not be able to rest in peace." Concubine Mei saw The emperor's trembling body hesitated for a moment, and then slowly walked to the emperor's side, persuading her softly, her voice was extremely soft, with a little flattery, she thought that she could comfort the emperor at this time, or she could I have won the emperor's favor.
However, I never expected that the emperor turned around suddenly, staring at her fiercely with his eyes, and the hand that had just supported the corpse was even quicker, grabbing Concubine Mei's neck suddenly, and slammed Said, "Who said she is dead, she is not dead, no." The emperor's words were obviously a little irrational in the fury, but the words paused slightly, bloodthirsty resentment filled his eyes, and he stared at Looking at Concubine Mei, "Is it you? Did you kill her? Did you set it on fire?"
And the hand pinching Mei Fei's neck was even more uncontrollable.
The emperor's hand had just touched the corpse on the ground, so it was stained with some dark matter and a little oil, and it was all on Concubine Mei's neck at this moment.
This is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is his constantly vigorous hand.
Immediately, Concubine Mei's face turned red and purple quickly, she couldn't breathe out at all, let alone speak, she just shook her head in panic, she was afraid of the cruelty in the emperor's eyes Her whole body was limp, but at this moment, her neck was tightly held by the emperor, and she couldn't soften it even if she wanted to.
The other concubines behind were also shocked one by one. Seeing Concubine Mei's face slowly turning purple, they couldn't help trembling slightly, but no one stepped forward to persuade them. This harem has never There is no emotion.
Although they were a little scared, they all secretly gloated. What's more, everyone can see the emperor's anger at this moment, and no one wants to get angry at this moment.
Concubine Ming, who was standing with Concubine Mei just now, was secretly glad that she did not move forward. Originally, she wanted to persuade the emperor, but when she saw Concubine Mei walk over, she was a little angry.
Concubine Liu's eyes quickly concealed a sneer, hum, stupid woman, at this time, going forward, didn't you go to die by yourself? Can't you see that the emperor is sad and has nowhere to vent his emotions?
Besides, the emperor must have doubts in his heart at this moment, and when he couldn't find anyone, Concubine Mei bumped into her.
Concubine Mei's face has turned livid, without any blood color, and her eyes are slightly bulging, which is even more frightening, but at this moment, she can't breathe at all, and her body is slowly weakening.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Just at that moment, the Empress Dowager hurried over. After all, the Empress Dowager was not in good health, and she was far away from the Shou Palace, so she came a bit late.
As soon as she came in, she saw that the emperor was pinching Concubine Mei fiercely, and Concubine Mei was almost out of breath.
Can't help being startled, and shouted again and again, although she doesn't like that woman, but she can't let the emperor strangle her to death like this.
The emperor seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, his eyes turned slightly, and when he looked at the queen mother, he was slightly taken aback, but he didn't let go of Meifei's hand, and it was still so tight.
"The emperor let her go first." The queen mother said again and again, she knew Concubine Mei, although she usually likes to cause trouble, but her scheming is not so deep.
However, the Concubine Mei's family is the most powerful, so they were able to keep the position of the noble concubine. If the emperor really strangled her to death like this, there would definitely be trouble.
The emperor was stunned again, and then he let go of his hand suddenly, and without warning, he quickly withdrew his hand, and Mei Fei, who was already a little soft, quickly fell to the ground. How embarrassing.
It's just that at this moment, she still cared so much about it, she just sat on the ground, exhaling desperately and greedily.
Almost, her life was gone.
"Mother, Rouer, she..." When the emperor looked at the queen mother, his eyes were once again full of deep pain, and his low voice was also filled with heart-rending pain. Usually, he would call the queen mother, but at this moment it was The mother and concubine who shouted felt a little more helpless in the pain.
The Empress Dowager looked at it with distressed expression. Looking at the room that was completely reduced to ashes, her eyes flickered slightly. The fire seemed a little too strange.
Could it be that someone put it on purpose?
"Have you notified Ye'er and Fu'er?" The queen mother thought for a moment, then asked in a deep voice.
"Back to the Empress Dowager, the slave has been notified just now, and I guess it will be here soon." The **** beside the emperor said respectfully, he is an old **** in the palace, and he still has this eye. For such a big matter, His Highness must be notified.
The emperor was slightly stunned when he heard the Queen Mother's words. In his eyes full of pain, there was a moment of thought, and then a strange hope flashed, could it be? Could it be?
And just at this moment, Xuanyuan Ye also rushed over with Meng Fuying. Xuanyuan Ye used lightness kung fu directly to dodge in with Meng Fuying in his arms. Everyone was slightly stunned by that speed.
"Fu'er, tell my father, did you take Rou'er away? Was it you?" When the emperor saw Meng Fuying, he hurried forward and asked repeatedly. He really hopes now, is it you? Fu'er and the others took Rou'er away.
Meng Fuying was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that the emperor would ask her this question as soon as she came, so it can be seen that the emperor still doubted her, but she definitely wouldn't admit it at this moment, her eyes slowly looked at the mess in front of her, trembling He said, "Father, could it be, could it be mother and concubine her?"
There was no positive answer, but her expression, her reaction, was a better answer, which made the emperor's just rising hope sink into the bottomless abyss again.
"Fu'er, is it really not you? You tell the father, the father will not blame you." But the emperor continued to ask again, Fu'er ran to the cold palace every day these days, maybe it was her Rou'er was taken away.
"Father, Fu'er doesn't understand what you're talking about?" Meng Fuying was secretly startled when she saw the worry and pain on the emperor's face, but she never expected that the emperor's reaction would be so intense.
It can be seen that the emperor really has feelings for Concubine Rou.
It's just that I didn't know how to cherish it before.
The emperor put Concubine Rou into the cold palace, so that those who originally wanted to harm Concubine Rou had more chances. In the past few days, she discovered that someone was sneaking outside the cold palace to check.
She believes that if she doesn't set off this fire tonight, maybe soon, someone will harm Concubine Rou in some way.
If you wait until that time, Concubine Rou may really die, no matter how regretful the emperor is, no matter how painful it is, it will be useless.
It's time to teach this man a lesson, so now she doesn't sympathize with the emperor at all.
Concubine Rou was naturally brought out by her, and she also found those corpses from outside. They were dead people, but she specially found someone who was about the same height and shape as Concubine Rou. Can't see anything.
Xuanyuan Ye just stood there in a daze, staring straight at the corpse on the ground with his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, his lips moved slightly, and he said with a sad face, "This, is this really the concubine mother?" There was also unbelievable pain in the voice.
I have to say that Xuanyuanye's acting skills are so high that even Meng Fuying has to admire her.
The emperor, who was still a little skeptical at first, froze completely after hearing Xuanyuan Ye's words, and his eyes were full of hopeless pain. He knew that Ye'er would not lie. It's not that they took Rou'er away.
"Have you found out the cause of the fire?" Xuanyuan Ye raised his eyes suddenly, looked straight at the guard in front, and asked in a cold voice.
"Returning to Your Highness, it should be that the lamp in Concubine Rou's room was knocked down by a mouse, which caused a big fire. It's summer now, and the temperature is already extremely high, but tonight, the wind is strong, so the fire ignited immediately. When I got up, Concubine Rou might have woken up too, but the fire was too fierce and she didn't run out."
A guard thought for a while, and replied respectfully.
"Is it really just an accident?" Xuanyuan Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice again, subconsciously looking at the concubines behind him.
When the concubines met his gaze, they lowered their heads one after another, even Concubine Ming couldn't help trembling, and Concubine Liu even lowered her eyes in horror.
"Based on the situation at the scene, it should be an accident." The guard replied respectfully again.
"Is it an accident? Is it really just an accident?" Hearing the guard's words, the emperor slowly repeated, his eyes looked at the corpse on the ground again, and the low voice was full of pain, At this moment, there is still a bit of obvious self-blame, "It was I who killed her, it was I, it was I who killed her. If I didn't put her in the cold palace, this kind of thing would not have happened."
"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself too much. No one thought that things would turn out like this." Seeing the Emperor's appearance, the Empress Dowager couldn't bear it, so she persuaded her in a low voice, but she still had some doubts about the matter before her, and couldn't help He briefly glanced at Meng Fuying.
It's just that, at this moment, Meng Fuying was looking at the corpse on the ground with a sad face, and the Queen Mother's eyes flickered slightly. Could it really be none of Fu'er's business?
"It is Zhen, it is Zhen who harmed Rou'er." The emperor murmured again, with obvious sadness on his face, and now that she lost her, he suddenly understood the importance of Rou'er.
Yes, when the woman pretended to be Rou'er, he didn't realize it at first, or he was too used to Rou'er's submissiveness, and that woman just did it just right.
However, in the later days, he also gradually felt something different, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Originally, many women in the palace often used different tricks to seduce him.
Actually, in the final analysis, it was because he had never really cared about Rou'er, never really cared about Rou'er, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to not find out for such a long time.
It's no wonder that Rou'er would blame him and reject him, and that night, he shouldn't have forced Rou'er. All of this was done by him.
"Yes, it was indeed you who killed the concubine mother." Xuanyuan Ye turned to him suddenly, and said coldly. After all these years, he knew best how the concubine mother came here. In front of outsiders, in front of the emperor, the concubine mother The concubine always had a smile on her face, but when she was alone, she often couldn't help crying.
Mufei's feelings are very pure. What she wants is only the real love of this man, not the so-called favor.
What she wants is not the emperor's reward, even if the emperor puts all the treasures in the world in front of the mother, the mother will not be really happy.
Only he knows, every time the emperor goes to spend the night with other concubines, and then goes to the Rouxin Palace to spend the night, the mother and concubine's heart hurts, embarrassing pain, humble pain, but even more helpless pain.
This man doesn't know, and it gets worse and worse. He clearly remembers that one year, when a newcomer entered the palace, the emperor stayed in that woman's palace for several months.
Concubine Mu didn't say anything, but he knew how sad and painful it would be for Concubine Mu to sleep alone on that couch every night.
Therefore, when Fu'er said that he would take the concubine mother out of the palace, he agreed immediately, because he didn't want to see the concubine mother in pain anymore. I can't fulfill my mother and concubine.
And this man, until now, has countless women, and went to Concubine Liu the night before yesterday.
Putting the concubine mother into the cold palace, he still has the mood to go to other women. It can be seen that he doesn't really care about the concubine mother in his heart. Even if he cares a little, it is not true love.
If you really love a woman, you will never touch another woman...
It's like he is with Fu'er, no matter what his Fu'er looks like, he will love her wholeheartedly, and no matter how beautiful other women are, he won't even glance at them.
What's the use of blaming yourself now? If Fu'er hadn't acted early, I'm afraid someone would have done something to Concubine Mu.
"Ye'er, at this time, please don't say a few words." The queen mother was slightly stunned, and then shouted in a deep voice. While speaking, she sighed slightly, and she also understood Ye'er's mood.
The emperor hesitated slightly, staring at Xuanyuan Ye for a while, then slowly lowered his eyes, "Yes, it's Zhen, it's Zhen."
"Hey." The queen mother sighed softly again, no one thought that such a thing would happen.
Concubine Liu's eyes flickered slightly behind her, and she sneered again, no matter what, Concubine Rou was already dead.
Next, she will have a chance. She believes that no matter how sad the emperor is, he will be fine in a few days. After all, the most indispensable thing in this palace is women.
When the time comes, she can comfort the emperor well.
The emperor's body slowly squatted down, this time he sat directly on the ground, and stretched out his hand to the corpse again, but he didn't think about anything at all.
"Let's arrange the matter first." The queen mother said sadly, since the matter has already happened, the funeral must be dealt with.
Then some guards came to lift the corpse on the ground, but the emperor suddenly protected her, hugged the corpse, and shouted coldly, "No one is allowed to touch her, no one is allowed. No one is allowed to touch my mother." Rou'er."
Everyone was shocked, and Xuanyuan Ye's eyes flickered slightly, with a little surprise.
"Your majesty, you can't just let Concubine Rou stay here, you have to take her to Rouxin Palace first." The queen mother was also shocked suddenly, and then persuaded again, what the **** is the emperor doing? ?
The emperor's body froze again, and the hand that was holding the corpse suddenly hugged the corpse, "I will do it myself, no one is allowed to touch Rou'er."
While speaking, he suddenly picked up the black corpse and walked out.
Everyone was shocked again, if it was a good corpse, it would be fine, but now, the corpse is like a coke, it is burnt from the outside, and some things are still leaking oil, the emperor just hugged it like this.
Besides, the emperor may have been too busy to change his clothes just now, so he was wearing white obscene clothes.
Suddenly, the white clothes became black.
The emperor didn't realize it, and slowly walked forward with the corpse in his arms.
Concubine Liu was also slightly startled, a bit of hatred was hidden in the depths of her eyes, but she felt a little better when she thought that no matter what, the dead could not earn more than the living.
The concubines couldn't help trembling when they saw the corpse, and they couldn't help feeling sick. They really knew how the emperor could just hug him like that.
Meng Fuying frowned slightly, she never thought that the emperor would be able to do this, hey,
The emperor carried the corpse into the Rouxin Palace and put it on the bed, and the emperor squatted in front of the bed all the time.
Xuanyuanye and Meng Fuying naturally did not leave, and they stayed with Rouxin Palace all the time.
The emperor had a face full of pain and sadness, Xuanyuan Ye's eyes were slightly closed, and he couldn't see too many expressions clearly.
On the second day, the emperor did not go to court early. This was the first time since the emperor ascended the throne. It must be said that the emperor is really a diligent emperor.
However, the ministers also knew what happened last night, they didn't say anything, there was nothing important, so they also retreated.
In the next few days, they were all dealing with Concubine Rou's affairs. The emperor stayed in Rouxin Palace all the time, passing down the order, and the whole country mourned for three days, so he didn't go to court within three days.
On the fourth day, the emperor recruited Meng Yuntian into the palace.
"You go to the Wind Clan." The emperor still had a sad face, but when he mentioned the Wind Clan, there was a slight strangeness on his face.
"Okay." Meng Yuntian froze for a moment, and then responded, he naturally understood what the emperor meant.
Concubine Rou has been married into the palace for so many years, but the Feng Clan has no connection with the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
Only he and the emperor knew the reason, and only he knew the situation when the emperor went to the Wind Clan.
Concubine Rou is the princess of the Wind Clan, but because there were no men in the royal family at that time, the patriarch at that time was elected by the whole clan, a young and promising man.
The meaning of the old patriarch must be to recruit a son-in-law for Concubine Rou, and that man also likes Concubine Rou very much.
However, I didn't expect that Concubine Rou met the emperor at that time.
At that time, the Feng Clan strongly opposed it, but Concubine Rou agreed, and the patriarch had no choice but to promise that he would not have any contact with the Xuanyuan Dynasty in the future.
...
And now it is the most suitable only for him to go.
Meng Yuntian left the capital that day and rushed to the Wind Clan.
On the fifth day, concubine Rou was buried.
It was supposed to take a while to enter the ancestral hall, but the emperor hastily ordered to enter the ancestral hall. The ministers were puzzled and somewhat dissatisfied, but they couldn't persuade the emperor.
This matter seemed to be over like this, and the emperor also began to go to court, but after he came down from court, he was always reviewing memorials in the study.
Not only did he not go to any concubine, he didn't even go back to his own bedroom, or maybe he had accumulated too many things in the past few days.
Concubine Liu is a smart person. At this time, naturally she will not move around, nor will she be courteous. She has to wait until the emperor gradually forgets Concubine Rou, and wait for a suitable opportunity. She believes that as long as Concubine Rou is gone , then the position of queen must be hers.
When the time comes, she can...
And with the incident that happened that day, the other concubines naturally did not dare to disturb the emperor at this time.
