Chapter 210 Things are fermenting
Things are fermenting much faster than imagined.
"Sister Zhu, you continue to eat here and go back to the house with the young master later. I have something urgent to go out for."
"Yeah! Got it!" Qiuzhu muttered with his mouth full of oil and his mouth full.
Lan Ye stopped talking nonsense, threw down Qiuzhu, and hurried towards the palace.
At this time, in the imperial study room, the emperor was reviewing the memorials. Suddenly there was a noise outside the door, and the emperor frowned in displeasure.
"Who is making any noise outside?"
"Go back to the emperor! Something happened in Zuo Xiang's Mansion!" Eunuch Gui replied.
"What could happen to Zuo Xiang's Mansion? Didn't Meng Ruoxi invite all the guests to celebrate his birthday today? How could something happen?" The emperor stopped reading the memorial and looked puzzled, "Let people from outside come in and talk!"
"yes!"
"Peng Xun, can you tell me in detail what happened to the left prime minister? It makes you so anxious!"
"Go back to the emperor. I just heard that this servant..." Peng Xun hesitated and said in more euphemistic words, "I just heard that a woman in Zuo Xiang's mansion was stunned and violently raped."
After finishing, he looked at the emperor's face carefully, and saw that the emperor's face, which originally had a slight smile, had already turned gloomy.
Peng Xun's scalp went numb and he winked at Eunuch Gui, who was standing sideways, hoping that he would rescue him.
Eunuch Gui naturally saw Peng Xun's eyes asking for help, but he ignored him. I stood aside honestly and couldn't help but think to myself, you clean up the mess you made yourself.
"Don't tell me that it was King Qi who did it!" The emperor stared at Peng Xun coldly.
"This..." Peng Xun was stared at by the emperor's murderous eyes. He suddenly sweated like rain and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead.
"What? Are you very hot?" The emperor said coldly, "Do you want me to help you cool down?"
"No, no, no!" Peng Xun shook his head quickly.
"No need to hurry up!"
"Yes, yes, slave!" Peng Xun kept wiping the sweat, but it backfired, and the more he wiped the sweat, the more he sweated.
"Although His Royal Highness the King of Qi has something to do with this matter, the main messenger is not the King of Qi."
"What's going on? You're hesitant, hurry up!" The emperor frowned displeased.
"This slave also heard what he heard. It was Han Wuyong who stunned Xue Ruyue and committed violence..."
"What?" Before Peng Xun finished speaking, the emperor was furious when he heard that something happened to Xue Ruyue.
"How is Xue Ruyue doing now? Where is King Qi? Why did Han Wuyong faint Xue Ruyue?" The doubts in the emperor's heart poured out like a barrage of cannons.
"This... Your Majesty forgives me for being stupid. It would be better for you to go to the Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion and see with your own eyes."
"Hmph! You don't understand this, what's the use of you!" The emperor felt that his head was hurting at this moment, and pinched his temples irritably, and said to Mr. Gui, "Present, go to Zuo Xiang's Mansion!"
At the same time, Ran came to the inner courtyard of the palace without stopping.
"The Imperial Concubine, something happened to His Highness Prince Qi!"
"Why did it happen again after just a few moments of calm?" Huang Guifei put down Miao Lian unhappily and looked at Landao who was coming in a hurry.
"My lord, it's not like something happened. In fact, something happened to Miss Xue. Oh, I can't tell you a word or two. Madam, you'd better go to Zuo Xiang's Mansion with me first!"
As soon as the imperial concubine heard that something had happened to Xue Ruyue, she couldn't sit still and quickly ordered her servants, "Come here, change your clothes, I am leaving the palace!"
Bi Yuntao sat on a chair and rested for a while, then he faintly woke up when he heard a knock on the door outside the house.
"Brother? Are you okay?" At this time, all the guests were not interested in staying in Zuoxiang's Mansion to continue drinking. They left one after another. After Meng Ruolang sent them out of the mansion one by one, they came in a hurry. to here.
"It's okay!" A hoarse voice came from inside the house, "Come in! I just have something to do with you."
Meng Ruolang opened the door and walked into the house. The scene inside was simply too horrible to look at, especially the pool of bright red blood on the ground, which was even more shocking.
"Brother!" Meng Ruolang walked to Bi Yuntao's side and saw Han Wuyong dead in the bathtub, feeling extremely complicated.
"You put Han Wuyong's body away, I will be useful!" Bi Yuntao looked at Meng Ruolang calmly and said, "Have all the guests outside left?"
"Hey! It was originally a good banquet to celebrate Ruoxi's birthday, but something like this happened. I hope Ruoxi won't be sad." Bi Yuntao saw Meng Ruoleng nodding and said with a complicated mood, "I'm sorry to her for me."
"Brother, don't blame yourself. Everything happens for a reason. My sister won't blame you."
"By the way, do you know who the Han family is? I just heard from Han Wuyong that his grandfather is the emperor's teacher."
"Yes." Meng Ruoleng nodded, "His grandfather was not only the emperor's teacher, but also his father's guide. He once served as the left prime minister. However, he was old and retired after the emperor ascended the throne. Go down."
"Oh! That's right!" Bi Yuntao nodded, "Isn't their courtyard quite big?"
"That's natural. The old man of the Han family has the favor of the emperor, and he is the emperor's master. After he retired, the emperor personally rewarded the old man with a courtyard. The size of the Han family is not much larger than your prince's courtyard, and even yours The palace has many shortcomings. It can be regarded as the largest courtyard in the entire capital."
"Oh?" Bi Yuntao's eyes flashed, "So, the Han family is easy to find?"
"That's natural. It's just in the west of the city. There is only one property of the Han family there."
"The west of the city!" Bi Yuntao couldn't help but crack his lips because of his excitement, "It's really the right time, then stay in the west for the rest of your life!"
"Brother, don't you think so?" Hearing Bi Yuntao's words, Meng Ruolang was shocked. After working with Bi Yuntao for so long, why didn't he understand what he was going to do?
He quickly persuaded him, "Brother, this is absolutely impossible! The old man of the Han family is the emperor's imperial master. You killed Han Wuyong at his own fault. But if you take revenge on the Han family, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to protect you!"
"Hahaha!" Bi Yuntao laughed like crazy, "Han Wu dares to touch my woman, so he will bear my violent revenge."
"Do you dare to come with me?" Bi Yuntao smiled tiredly and tilted his head to look at Meng Ruolang, "You don't have to do anything, just protect me from the side to prevent someone with strong martial arts from attacking me."
"This..." Meng Ruolang hesitated, not knowing whether he should agree or not.
"If you don't want to, forget it. I'll go alone. I'll just die." After finishing, Bi Yuntao got up from the chair and walked out of the room resolutely.
"Brother, wait. I'll go with you." Just as he reached the door, Meng Ruoran's voice sounded from behind.
"Then let's go! Take Han Wuyong's body and follow me back to the palace." As for why Bi Yuntao didn't put the body in the storage ring, it was naturally because it was dirty. Such a beast with a human face and an animal heart was not worthy of being put in the storage ring.
The two of them went all the way to Prince Qi's Mansion, threw Han Wuyong's body into the icehouse, and after finishing all this, it was already night.
As soon as Bi Yuntao and Meng Ruolang left, the imperial concubine hurried to Zuo Xiang's Mansion.
"Empress!" Meng Ruoxi saluted quickly when she saw the imperial concubine coming.
"How is Ru Yue? I heard something happened to Lan!" The imperial concubine didn't care about royal etiquette, and took Meng Ruoxi's hand and asked anxiously.
"I have just cured the love flower poison for Ru Yue. She is fine now and is sleeping soundly in the guest room."
"It's okay, it's okay!" The imperial concubine patted her chest with lingering fear, "How could Ru Yue be poisoned by the love flower? Do you know the whole story?"
"The Emperor is here!" Before Meng Ruoxi could explain, Eunuch Gui's voice sounded at the door.
"Kowtow..."
"No courtesy!" The emperor strode into the main hall without any pause, and directly turned to the guests, "Your Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion is very lively today!"
"The Emperor smiled!"
"I'm not laughing!" The emperor laughed, "Look at it now, not only have I arrived, but even the imperial concubine has come out of the palace to your left prime minister's house. Isn't this lively?"
Meng Ruoxi kept smiling bitterly in her heart. She couldn't tell that this was a sarcasm to herself. She was complaining that since she couldn't win people's hearts, she shouldn't do such meaningless things.
I don’t know what kind of virtue Xue Ruyue is, but what happened to her actually alarmed the emperor and the imperial concubine. Forget it about the imperial concubine. It was obvious in Hanfeng Temple that she was kind to Xue Ruyue, but why would the emperor do the same?
"Haha, now that the color is dark, I will get straight to the point. I heard that there is some unrest in your Zuo Xiang's Mansion!" The emperor teased a few words, then straightened his face and said gloomily.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
"What happened? Ruoxi, please tell me the whole story. I want to see who is the bold and arrogant person who dares to do such a crazy thing in this bright world!"
"Ruoxi knows not to be very detailed. When Ruo Xi arrived, Xue Ruyue, who was poisonous, was rescued by King Qi, and the culprit had been beaten up by King Qi. What you did!" Meng Ruoxi told the truth, telling everything she knew.
After hearing Meng Ruoxi's story, the emperor and the imperial concubine immediately grasped the key points. One was the poison of the love flower, and the other was that it was King Qi who saved Rao.
"What about King Qi? Why don't you see him come out to see me?"
"Before the imperial concubine arrived, Prince Qi and Ruo Lang had already left in a hurry and went to Prince Qi's Mansion." Meng Ruoxi answered truthfully.
"Well! Have you returned home? That's good!" The emperor nodded, stood up and said, "How is Ru Yue doing now? Take me to see her!"
As the emperor finished speaking, a huge noise suddenly sounded, followed by a sudden tremor. The ground, houses, tables, chairs and benches began to shake violently. Everyone present was unsteady and quickly held on to the tables and chairs around them.
"What happened? Why did the earthquake happen?"
Fortunately, the earthquake was not strong. It only shook a few times and then subsided without further consequences.
"Your Majesty! It's not good!" Peng Xun shouted while running towards here.
"Your Majesty! Han Family! Han Family!" Peng Xun ran out of breath and panted.
"What happened to the Han family?" The emperor said dissatisfied, "Hurry up!"
Peng Xun swallowed the saliva that was secreting rapidly, "Your Majesty, the Han family is gone!"
"The Han family is gone?" The emperor was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"It literally means that the Han family is gone! There was a sudden explosion in the Han family just now, and now the Han family is a sea of fire. The Water Dragon Team has gone to put out the fire, but the fire is too strong, and the Water Dragon Team is seriously short of manpower. According to the current speed of putting out the fire, I’m afraid we won’t be able to completely put out the fire until we understand.”
This time Peng Xun was not ambiguous and said it all in one breath.
The emperor’s brain is buzzing! "With a sound, his feet softened and he fell onto the chair.
"Your Majesty!" The imperial concubine quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "You must take care of your dragon body!"
"Has anyone in the Han family been rescued?" The emperor patted the imperial concubine's hand to indicate that he was fine.
"I've never seen anyone come out of the Han family!" Peng Xun replied.
These words were like a thunderbolt. The emperor rubbed his painful forehead and said, "Ask the city defense troops to go and help put out the fire. If you have any news, please report to the palace at any time."
"Yes!" Peng Xun accepted the order with his fists clasped and left quickly.
"Eunuch Gui, send an order to Mr. Zuo to return to Beijing quickly to investigate this matter."
"Yes!" Eunuch Gui nodded in agreement.
"The fact that the Han family was bombed happened by such a coincidence must have something to do with King Qi. My beloved, you should go to Prince Qi's Mansion now and keep him under my strict supervision. When I find out the reason, I will question him. !”
"Yes!" Although the imperial concubine felt sorry for her son, the emperor's life was difficult, so she had no choice but to agree.
