Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Chapter 519 Detaining People



Chapter 519 Detaining People

Empress Mo, Prince Yong and others entered the palace in compliance with the imperial decree.

Wang Xifeng left the hall.

The two groups faced each other.

Wang Xifeng stood alone, wearing mourning clothes and a pearl hairpin, without any other decoration.

The whole person is thin and light, calm and relaxed.

It was as if the scoundrel woman who had just been crying and shouting for justice in the bedroom had nothing to do with her.

On the other hand, Empress Mo was dressed in a dark court gown, a solemn attire. Although she did not dare to use pearls and jade on her head, she still used silver threads to wrap around a large magnolia shape and inserted it in her hair to support her sideburns.

In addition, she had been "recuperating" for several months, and she looked pale and weak lying down. She could not support such decorations, which made her look even shorter and weaker.

In a head-on comparison between the two, Concubine Wang is simple and elegant, while Empress Mo is dull and heavy.

You can tell which one is higher and which one is lower at a glance.

Thinking back to the faint sound of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" that had just come out of the hall...

King Yong and King Xiaoyao couldn't help but look at each other, and they saw the regret in each other's eyes: If only this "Phoenix" was real!

Queen Mo had no expression on her face.

Wang Xifeng smiled and gave way, kneeling and bowing her head: "Your Majesty, all is well. His Majesty is waiting for you inside."

Queen Mo grunted coldly and walked into the room.

Prince Yong and Prince Xiaoyao stopped and bowed to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng also smiled and bowed in return.

The two sides passed each other without saying anything else.

King Xiaoyao walked at the end. After thinking for a while, he turned back again and looked at Wang Xifeng's back.

Unexpectedly, he happened to see Chen Duo bowing respectfully to Wang Xifeng.

King Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, but without giving it time to think, he hurriedly followed King Yong inside.

outside room.

As soon as Wang Xifeng left the palace, she frowned, uttered a cry, and raised her hands and sleeves to cover her mouth and nose: "Why is there such a strong smell of blood?"

Chen Duo replied respectfully: "The chief of the Dragon Guards, the eldest son of Duke Qing, Yin Shijie, just tried to break into the bedroom without permission, but I stopped him."

Ru'er, who had been completely forgotten by everyone like an invisible person, stepped forward, gently held Wang Xifeng's arm, and whispered:

"Chen Sizheng held up his precious sword to stop him."

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and curled her lips: "As expected of someone sent by your master, you have courage!"

Chen Duo almost burst into laughter, but he quickly lowered his eyelids to hide his joy and bowed deeply: "I don't deserve it."

Wang Xifeng smiled and snorted, holding Ruer's hand and walking out, but she raised her voice slightly and said faintly:

“It’s just that, as I remember, the commander of the imperial guards is Lord Guo Jian!

"Master Guo, be steady."

Guo Jian's face turned pale at that moment, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you."

"Lord Guo, you are so steady that you could watch Chen Sizheng, a eunuch, take action and blood splatter in the Sizheng Hall before you could stop the lunatic who broke into the bedroom!"

Wang Xifeng smiled with a fake smile, "Really, that's what it means to be calm even when Mount Tai collapses in front of you!"

The commander of the imperial guards, Guo Jian's uncle, General Guo Chongben, also had beads of sweat slowly appearing on his forehead.

He is the first experienced and experienced warrior in this Ideological and Political Hall!

Although theoretically, he, Guo Jian and Yin Shijie are from three different lines, but in terms of military rank, he is their superior!

Yin Shijie was responsible for guarding the Supreme, Guo Jian was responsible for guarding the Emperor and the palace, and he was responsible for the entire royal family and the capital!

Yin Shijie broke into the Ideological and Political Palace with his sword!

He and Guo Jian were "indifferent" and failed to react. If we take this seriously, it is dereliction of duty!!!

This time, if the emperor takes it to heart, he and his nephew will not be able to escape punishment!

Guo Chongben looked at Wang Xifeng, hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak.

But Wang Xifeng didn't even look at him, she kept walking, and didn't even continue to mock Guo Jian, but walked away staggeringly.

Guo Jian was behind her, his face pale, his legs went limp, and he knelt on the ground with a thud!

It’s over.

When Wang Xifeng slowly returned to Yinyu Hall in the sedan chair, the emperor's edict also arrived, ordering her to handle the funeral rites of the empress dowager together with Princess Yongning and Prince Yong.

The Queen is in charge of all matters in the palace, with Li Xuanyi assisting. She and Princess Yongning will go to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow to make arrangements. Prince Yong will then escort the Queen Mother's coffin there.

Everyone in Yinyu Hall followed Wang Xifeng to receive the imperial edict and express gratitude.

The one who came to announce the decree was Jianzhong. While handing the bright yellow scroll to An'er, he stepped forward and whispered to Wang Xifeng:

“The Emperor originally intended to let you take Princess He Ke with you, but the Queen insisted that she was well enough to take good care of the princess.

“Also, Princess Yongning is going to the imperial mausoleum, so Princess Heke should stay to mourn and accompany Prince Duan.

"In front of the two princes and the clan members who had just rushed into the palace, the emperor could not reject it, so he had to approve it."

Wang Xifeng frowned.

Leave He Ke behind? !

Then why not leave Yongning with us...

"If you reply to the emperor for me, the queen is right. The queen mother only has Princess Yongning as her daughter, so she should let the princess stay.

"The weather is getting a little cold, and the Princess and He Ke are both more delicate than me, so why don't I go to the Imperial Mausoleum and make the arrangements myself.

"The emperor was really worried about me going to the imperial mausoleum alone, so he lent Chen Duo to me."

Wang Xifeng simply asked Jianzhong to pass the message.

Jianzhong smiled flatteringly, "Do you still need me to report back? How can the Queen handle so many things? I'm afraid the Emperor will have to come to you tonight to discuss what to do next!"

"Oh, are you afraid of being tired?" Wang Xifeng smiled.

Jianzhong got a chill, stopped joking, and went there obediently.

Just as the crowd was still there, Jianzhong told Wang Xifeng's words in a proper manner. Emperor Chongzhao was extremely satisfied. He glanced at the clan relatives and important officials who were twirling their beards and nodding, and nodded, saying:

“What the imperial concubine said makes sense.

"Where is Chen Duo?"

Chen Duo hurried forward and bowed.

His clothes were covered in blood as black as ink, and he had no chance to change them or explain.

The emperor didn't ask, he didn't say, and no one dared to mention it.

He was standing under the imperial steps with a bloody smell on his body. Although he was gentle and humble, one could inexplicably see a murderous intent in him!

"The slave is here."

"I appoint you as the eunuch of the six palaces and the chief steward of the imperial mausoleum. Select some capable and well-behaved people to serve your concubine well as she goes to the imperial mausoleum.

"Your Imperial Concubine has just finished dealing with the matter of Concubine Zhen, and she is more familiar with that place than you are. Go and listen to her instructions, and don't act on your own."

Emperor Chongzhao had a stern face and looked very businesslike.

Chen Duo waited for him to finish, but did not respond. Instead, he looked up and asked, "Your Majesty, I remember that Eunuch Qing is in the imperial mausoleum. How about..."

"Qinghai has another errand." Emperor Chongzhao said coldly, "The Imperial Concubine has praised you highly, you should do your job well."

Don't be ungrateful!

Chen Duo lowered his eyes, knelt down to accept the order, and bowed to leave.

After leaving the Ideological and Political Hall, I involuntarily changed from walking quickly to running, holding my robe.

But after running only two steps, he suddenly lowered his head to smell himself, frowned, and quickly turned around and ran towards his lower body.

How can I go and embarrass my master when I am so dirty?!

The eunuchs and guards at the palace gate looked at his back with sour eyes.

Check it out!

He killed a good person, and he was the eldest son of Duke Qing! The emperor looked at the black and white and said nothing, but then he promoted him to be the eunuch of the six palaces!

Isn’t this reward for merit?!

There are eunuchs in all six palaces. That should have been the position of Xia Shouzhong, the chief eunuch in the Queen's palace, but the decree has not been issued yet!

This is good, it has become his possession...
