Chapter 276

"Master. The queen was deposed by the emperor and put in a cold palace. All the palace maids and eunuchs were put in prison and handed over to the Ministry of punishment for interrogation."

"Oh? In the cold palace?" the Empress Dowager sat up and asked, "just in the cold palace?"

"Yes."

"Did she say anything?" asked the queen mother, rubbing her right fingers against each other.

"No, the emperor asked her. She didn't say anything."

"So..."

"Master, although the queen didn't say anything, it's inevitable that she won't say it in the future. Shall we?" said mother Xi.

"Be thrown into the cold palace." the Empress Dowager thought, "the emperor, what excuse did she use to throw her into the cold palace?"

"Back to the Lord, the emperor put her in the cold palace on the pretext of the queen and harbouring an assassin, intending to murder him with the assassin. He also said that in order to prevent her from colluding with the assassin, he sent heavy troops to guard the cold palace. Now there must be many officers and soldiers outside the cold palace."

"Master, what does the emperor mean?" mother Xi was a little unpredictable about Han Mingze's action.

"Hum, what else can it mean?" the Empress Dowager snorted coldly and said: "the emperor has found Du Xiaoli. Naturally, he knows that she was arrested in the queen last night. Last night, he searched the mourning house in the name of searching for assassins. If he wants to punish the queen today, he can use this excuse."

"Then he sent troops to surround the cold palace. Did he find anything? And will Princess Anle tell us?" mother Xi said uncertainly.

"He should know something, but he hasn't found out who it is. The purpose of sending troops to guard is to catch the people who go and find us when we send people to assassinate the queen or save her." the Empress Dowager said, "finally, Anle, Mammy Xi, have you forgotten what kind of poison we use? It was impossible to have our own consciousness when we planted that kind of poison."

"That's right. Shall we deal with her?" asked mother Xi.

"The Queen's woman is easy to control. As long as the prince is still in our hands, she won't dare to speak. Let her be there." the Empress Dowager said confidently. "A woman like her is also very poor, but she tells her that we have planted poisonous insects on the prince and the emperor. If she doesn't obey, she will kill them both. She will obey like a dog and get so much information for us. Poor woman who revolves around her husband and children all her life..."

"The old slave continued to send people to pay attention to the movement in the cold palace."

"Go, let those people be careful. If they are found, be careful of their lives!"

"Yes."

Mother Xi went out, and the person who came to report the news to the Empress Dowager also withdrew. The Empress Dowager took a fruit and bit it, making a clicking sound.

Outside the cold palace, a servant girl came with a basket and told the officers and soldiers outside that she had come to deliver food to the queen. The officers and soldiers checked her basket and let her in.

"Empress, I have brought you lunch."

The house here is simple, with only one bed, table and chair, and the necessary heating.

As she spoke, the maid brought out the food. Then she looked at the officers and soldiers outside. She saw that they didn't notice themselves, so she took out a small shoe from her sleeve.

The queen sat on the bed. Her eyes were empty. When she saw the things in the maid's hand, she fell off the bed and came forward to grab the little shoe.

"What have you done to heng'er?" the queen grabbed the shoes and looked at the maid in waiting fiercely.

"Empress, don't be angry. The Empress Dowager said that his highness is not in good health. She took care of him. For fear of missing the prince, she gave you a shoe to see things and think of people." the maid said.

"You didn't hurt him, did you?"

"The Empress Dowager has always liked his Highness the prince. How could she hurt him! As long as the Empress Dowager is strong, she will take good care of Her Highness the prince. Empress, it's cold and the food is easy to cool. You'd better eat earlier."

With that, the maid went out with an empty basket. When she reached the gate of the cold palace, she also said a few words to the officers and soldiers guarding the gate.

Du Xiaoli doesn't know what happened in the palace. She and Han Mingxiang are cooking tea wheel poetry on the carriage, killing the boring time.

Du Xiaoli and Han Mingxiang were not very boring along the way. They talked and made jokes, and the time passed. It seems that today's weather is good, so everyone is in a good mood, but only Du Xiaoli and Han Mingyi know what's going on.

Before evening, they settled in a city. As we all know about Han Mingxiang's marriage, as soon as we entered the city, we saw the red and festive streets decorated, and the people all over the streets standing on both sides of the road to meet them.

When they arrived at the inn, a group of people stood in front of the Inn and saw Han Mingyi stop. The man in official clothes, led by Zhu Zhong, the county magistrate of Miyagi, knelt down with a group of people behind him and said, "all officials of Miyagi led by Zhu Zhong, the county magistrate of Miyagi, welcomed his highness King Ding, Princess Changle, Princess Anle and general Ji Shao."

The people who were stopped by the County Yamen to watch the excitement also knelt down.

Du Xiaoli covered Han Mingxiang's head, then helped her out of the carriage, saw a lot of people kneeling on the ground, and said that this is not a small city. Han Mingyi and his wife got down from the horse, looked at the people on the ground and said, "no, get up." "Your Highness Xie Ding." Zhu Zhong stood up, took two steps forward and said, "Your Highness Ding, the hot water in the room is ready." "well, go in." Han Mingyi turned and looked at Han Mingxiang and Du Xiaoli. Du Xiaoli nodded and helped Han Mingxiang to go in first. The waiter led the way to his room. "Settle down the carriages. It's cold. Don't freeze the horses at night. Come in." Han Mingyi ordered and took Zhu Zhonghe and some high-ranking people in. The onlookers outside saw Han Mingyi. They all went in and dispersed one after another. Du Xiaoli took Han Mingxiang to her room, and Han Mingxiang's servant girl followed her in. Although she couldn't serve in the carriage, she did everything for Han Mingxiang when she got off the carriage. Du Xiaoli sat down on the stool, stretched his waist and said, "it's really uncomfortable to sit in this carriage." "it's hard for you." Han Mingxiang said with some guilt. "What are you thinking!" Du Xiaoli waved and said, "I just think it's better to come by horse than by carriage!" "princess, miss is like this. The last time we came to the capital, the young master didn't let Miss ride and sat in the carriage for a few days. Miss didn't complain in the carriage any day." Xia yuan prepared the incense burner and said with a smile.
