Chapter 67: Send evidence of not dying to the emperor

6days ago Historical fiction 4
Zhou Zhen had already established good relations at the city gate, and when the army came to lock down the city, Zhou Qiang almost left the city.

There were four people in the carriage. The one who drove the car was an old servant in the Zhou family who had a lot of skills and had two maids in the carriage.

Fifty miles southward, a team of guards pretending to be merchants will meet with them in front of a dilapidated temple.

Zhou Qiang will be escorted by them to the north of the border land.

As the border trade area between the Great Qi and other countries, the northern side of the Seychelles lived in mixed people of all countries, and the three religions and the nine classes of the country were mixed.Even if the emperor wanted to find people here, it was much harder than other places.

Zhou Qiang understood his brother's good intentions.

She also wanted to send her back to freedom with the risk of being punished by the emperor.

But Zhou Qiang dared not bet on Xiao Du's temper.

In the middle of the night, the carriage arrived at the ruined temple. She ordered her to stop and ordered a few guards to go to the city to find out the news.

Madam, the young master has instructed us that we cannot stop on the road, we must get farther away from Beijing as soon as possible.The old servant advised.

I know.Zhou Qiang nodded and said worriedly, "But I can't ignore my family. When the emperor doesn't hold the Zhou family responsible, it will be not too late to leave after this matter is over."

Freedom is valuable, but family affection is more important.

Zhou Qiang had never thought of going away smoothly, so she agreed to escape to death, mainly to show Xiao Du that she had no intention of staying in the palace.

She would rather disappear from the world than be his glorious concubine.

Nothing can express determination more than this.

No need to worry too much about my wife.The young master said that Your Majesty is a wise ruler and there is no evidence, so he will not do anything to the Zhou family.The old servant comforted him, and the young master is a capable minister. His Majesty has something to do with him, so he can give him some face.

Zhou Qiang shook his head and smiled, you know, I have not been a willful person since I was a child, and I will never let my family provide me with the support of my work.If you want to leave, you will walk with peace of mind and leave without clarity. It is difficult for me to live with peace of mind when I get to the place.

The old servant sighed helplessly.

…………

After Yun Yi finished his work, the moon passed by the sky and went straight to Li Yunning's mansion.

I wanted to take the little princess out tonight, but I didn't expect that the fire in the palace building was delayed. When I returned to the dormitory, the little girl was already asleep.

The slight footsteps and the rustling sound of taking off their clothes still woke up the people on the bed.

On New Year's Eve, the lights were not turned off as usual. Li Yunning rubbed his eyes and sat up, lifted the gauze tent, his voice was slightly hoarse, are you here?When I waited until midnight, I couldn't hold on and went to bed first.

Yun Yi sent someone to inform him in advance, and the palace banquet ended in the evening.

Yun Yi took off his big arms and roasted them by the stove for a while. When the cold air on his body dissipated, he poured a cup of hot tea to the bed and fed her, explaining: An emergency situation in the palace has been delayed.

The charcoal in the room was hot and the grilled people's throat was dry. Li Yunning drank half a glass of water with his hand and yawned a little. It's very late, you wash and rest.

Since she resisted, she chose to obey him softly.

Living alone is much better than living in Yunfu.

Yun Yi held the porcelain cup and hesitated for a while. The little princess narrowed her sleepy eyes and did not want to ask him what an emergency situation was.

The servants in Li Yunning's mansion had long been replaced by him. The people who Zhou Qiang had arranged before either resigned or turned against the Yun family, and there was not even a person who conveyed the outside news to the little princess.

Yun Yi thought about how to tell Li Yunning and Zhou Qiang about the news, so as to observe her reaction.

He got up and put the cup on the desk, and said with his back: There was a fire in the palace building tonight, and a concubine was burned to death.

Ah?Li Yunning screamed in shock.

She lived in the palace for many years and had never heard of such an unlucky thing.

He is the emperor's favorite concubine Zhen.Yun Yi turned around and carefully observed Li Yunning's reaction.

Li Yunning thought of Zhou Qiang as soon as possible, not dead.

Just one month ago, Zhou Qiang sat beside the couch and asked, if one day she left the capital, would she be with her?

The two are in different situations, and Li Yunning cannot answer.

But she followed Yun Yi and knew the difference between the status of wives and concubines.

No woman is willing to be under her wife, even if she is the imperial concubine.

Zhou Qiang is such a beautiful and clear-headed woman. Her brother has treated her badly, and the new emperor feels wronged.

It would be strange if you don't run.

Li Yunning was stunned for a moment, suppressing the emotion and joy in his heart, lowering his eyes and holding his head, pinching his palms hard, and tears fell from his eyes one by one.

You might be lying to me, right?She asked choked up.

How could it be that the emperor was so angry that he vomited blood!Yun Yi said bluntly.

It was a bit funny. Li Yunning stared in tears, biting her lips tightly, and couldn't laugh.

Seeing her trying to hold back her laughter, Yun Yi understood a little in her heart, and turned to it: However, the guards had already caught the fire, and they were sent by the Zhou family. The death of Concubine Zhen, the man revealed that it was the Zhou family's envoy's plan to escape, and used others as Concubine Zhen.

The emperor had an order, so he chose Zhou Zhen’s mistake in the past two days, pushed him into prison, tortured him severely, and tracked down the whereabouts of Concubine Zhen.

He deliberately said this to the little princess.

Li Yunning's face was like thunder and rainy days at first, but now it really turned into heavy rain.

She jumped into the ground and argued in tears. Could it be that she was wrong? How could the Zhou family hide Concubine Zhen?This must be a slander. Someone is apart from the relationship between Your Majesty and the Zhou family, making it difficult for Concubine Zhen to survive even if she dies!

This time the performance looked like that, Yun Yi looked at Li Yunning to judge.In short, I am young, have little contact with people and worldly affairs, and my skills are tender and I do not show my emotions.

The little princess lived in the mansion for a long time and was shallow in her mind. Zhou Qiang would not reveal too much news about her leaving.

Yun Yi was more sure that Zhou Qiang escaped after Li Yunning's reaction.

He no longer continued to test and said in an official tone: Is it someone slandering or is it worthy of the crime? The court will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will it let anyone go with ulterior motives.

A concubine like Zhenfei, who has been out for so long, is hard to say whether she is innocent or not. In order to protect the royal face, if she catches her, a white silk may be killed.

You cruel people... Li Yunning took the pillow on the bed and smashed it over, sat on the ground and covered her face and cried. Concubine Zhen was dead, she was dead... Don't be suspicious anymore, can't she let her rest in peace?

Yun Yi sideways and avoids the pillow and rubs his eyebrows in distress.These women either want to leave or make trouble, and they have no peace every day.

He wished the emperor would not find Zhou Qiang, so he naturally married Yun Wanyin.

But love is hard to say.

His friendship with the emperor will never hide the truth about Zhou Qiang's escape for the sake of a subordinate.

Be optimistic about the little lady.Yun Yi called the maid and went out to the study.

The next day, he received a letter from Li Yunning to the Zhou family, saying that the Zhou family was to be careful, and the emperor might hold Zhou Zhen accountable for Zhou Qiang's death.

The letter also painted a man holding a white silk, preparing to strangle a rose flower.

It was the information he deliberately revealed to her last night.

The little princess, I don’t know if she should be said to be cute or stupid, Yun Yi smiled and sent the evidence that Zhou Qiang was not dead directly to the emperor.
