Chapter 468 Adultery
Huiming was about to go out when he heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside the room, and he dodged back into the tunnel.
Chu Zhuang realized that something was wrong, and as soon as Huiming came in, he immediately pressed the switch, and the tunnel was sealed again.
"This palace is a little tired, you all go out, you don't have to wait here anymore."
A few people were squatting in the secret passage, and they heard the voice from above. Needless to say, they knew that the person who would call themselves the palace was the empress of the dynasty.
Chu Zhuang took out his pocket watch to check the time. It was only seven o'clock in the evening. Did the Queen rest so early?
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, if the queen was in the bedroom, it would be inconvenient for them to go out.
"How to do?"
Yun Zhanfei looked at Chu Zhuang, opened his mouth, and only made mouth shapes without making a sound.
Chu Zhuang shrugged his shoulders, and looked at the way back with some helplessness. What else could he do at this time, he could only leave.
This trip was not fruitless, at least they knew that the tunnel also opened up the queen's bedroom, and the queen was also involved in this matter.
Several people were preparing to go back the same way to explore other exits of the tunnel.
Seeing that Huiming's expression froze, he stopped, and at the same time stopped everyone's movements with his eyes.
It will make Huiming so nervous, which means that the person who comes here must be above Wuzong!
A few people didn't dare to move anymore, their bodies stayed motionless in the tunnel, and even the sound of breathing was much weakened.
None of them dared to underestimate a top expert like Wu Zong.
"You came."
The queen's voice sounded again overhead.
The gazes of several people in Chuzhuang met in the air, and gossip flashed in their eyes.
At this time, I avoided everyone who came to see the queen, people at the Wuzong level, and the authentic Xiangguo Temple.
Who else could this person be besides Jing Heng who was doing things in the palace!
What is the relationship between Jingheng and the Queen?
Xue Yirong was sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at Jing Heng in the bronze mirror, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"Today I saw that you ate a little less during the banquet, but is there something wrong with your body?"
Jing Heng came behind Xue Yirong, took the comb in her hand, combed her hair, and asked softly at the same time.
Xue Yirong looked at Jing Heng's still young face in the mirror, and at his own aging face, a look of sadness flashed across his eyes.
"I am fine."
Xue Yirong shook her head, covered up the abnormality in her eyes, and said: "Jing'er and I complained that Master Shangshu deliberately did not cooperate, which made them unable to place their own people in the imperial examination."
"The scientific examination in March is coming soon, this matter can't be delayed any longer."
Hearing this, Huiming had no expression on his face, and while combing Xue Yirong's hair, he said calmly: "I reminded the prince earlier not to torture the eldest prince, and to arrange Sima Weibo's people beside the eldest prince earlier, Sima Weibo The family will not deliberately block it."
In the final analysis, Yu Wenjing himself did this matter.
He thought that as long as no physical punishment was imposed on Yu Wenming, the Sima family would not pursue it excessively.
But how could the Sima family be so easy to deal with? Unless they could personally confirm that Yu Wenming was fine, Sima Zhishang would never let them go and let them benefit.
Xue Yirong sighed slightly, today she also talked about Yu Wenjing for this moment.
Although Yu Wenjing agreed, it was obvious that he was very unwilling.
"Eat a ditch and gain wisdom. After this incident, I think he will grow up a bit when he comes to the prince." Seeing Xue Yirong's expression, Jing Heng frowned, hugged him into his arms, and said in relief: "And, no Am I still here? Nothing will happen."
"Jing Heng, we only have you!"
Xue Yirong came back to her senses, and hugged Jing Heng's waist tightly.
Although she was born in the famous Xue family, her father was Xue Qiucheng, the imperial grandson.
But Xue Qiucheng was just a clean stream, he was famous in the court, but he didn't have any influence.
If it wasn't for Jing Heng, she wouldn't be able to take the position of queen, and naturally it wouldn't be Yu Wenjing's turn to sit in the position of prince.
After so many years, the Sima family has been in trouble repeatedly, and every time they rely on Jingheng, they survived. If Jingheng didn't help them, then they would definitely not be able to survive in this deep palace.
Jing Heng felt Xue Yirong's fear, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed in his heart. He picked her up and walked towards the big bed.
Yunmengxi's cheeks flushed when he heard the movement from above.
Chu Zhuang quietly covered his ears with his hands, Yunmengxi is still underage, so it's not suitable to listen to content that is inappropriate for children!
Everyone is also a little uncomfortable. Although everyone likes to listen to gossip, the gossip is too pnball, and they can't bear it.
Huiming guessed that Jingheng should not pay attention to other things at this meeting, so he gave everyone a reminder, and everyone left quietly.
"Empress Empress and Imperial Master Jing Heng actually have sex!"
Everyone looked weird, they didn't expect to hear such a big gossip tonight.
They even had some suspicions that the authentic exit was in the queen's bedroom, which was convenient for Jingheng and the queen to have a private meeting.
"It seems that the emperor has been wearing this green hat for many years!" Chu Zhuang said with a slight cough.
Judging from the conversation they heard just now, the Queen and Jing Heng must have been together for a long time.
even……
"Could the prince be Jingheng's child?"
Chu Zhuang narrowed his eyes and guessed.
If not, would Jing Heng have such great perseverance and perseverance to build such a tunnel even if it took more than ten years to help the prince ascend to the throne?
"This...is very possible!"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they also had this guess in their hearts.
"Once the secrets of Master Jingheng and the Empress are exposed, no matter whether the Crown Prince is the Emperor's son or not, his position as Crown Prince may be lost." Yun Hong said.
The blood of the royal family cannot be confused, Yu Wenjing's life experience is tainted, not to mention the position of prince, even the status of prince will not be given to him!
Chu Zhuang frowned. It is not a good thing for them to lose Yu Wenjing's crown prince at this time.
"Let's go out and talk about this matter first."
Chu Zhuang thought for a while and said, "While there is still time, let's check all the other tunnels first."
Yunhong also knew that it was not suitable to discuss these things at this time, so he nodded slightly and agreed.
Several people continued to explore in the tunnel.
It's just that except for the East Palace and Xianfu Palace, the other tunnels are not so smooth, and there are many tunnels that have been dug and abandoned.
Chu Zhuang and the others groped around, and finally knew two exits.
One is outside a hidden rockery in the Little Royal Garden in the west, and the other is in the barren cold palace in the north.
These two places are sparsely populated all year round, and the guards in the palace are also the weakest, so it is difficult for anyone to find the exit here.
"It's almost finished, let's go back first."
Chu Zhuang finished drawing the authentic topographic map, put it back in his arms, looked at his pocket watch, and said to everyone.
After working all night, everyone is a little tired now, and they have checked everything that should be checked, so there is no need to stay any longer.
"it is good!"
A group of people set off to return. On the way back, their speed was much slower. When they came out of the cave, the dawn could already be seen faintly outside.
After covering up the traces, several people from Chuzhuang returned to the room.
"It can be seen from the map that they are trying to dig a tunnel through the Taihe Palace, but it seems that they have no chance yet."
Chu Zhuang took out the topographic map he had drawn and analyzed the situation with everyone.
"There is still a tunnel here, although it hasn't been hollowed out, but they should be able to get through the exit in a short time."
Chu Zhuang drew a circle on the Chonghua Palace of Concubine Sima.
"Concubine Sima is being punished to leave the palace now, and most of the people in her palace have also gone out together. The defense is at a time when it is weak."
Yunmengxi propped his chin with one hand, looked at the map on the table, nodded and said.
Sima Xunqin should still be copying scriptures in the Yaqing Temple at this time, so naturally he has no time to care about the underground of his bedroom.
"Then what should we do now? Should we tell the emperor about this?" Yun Zhanfei asked anxiously.
Jingheng's purpose is now very clear.
They just want to force the palace to let the crown prince Yu Wenjing ascend the throne!
How could they let people ignore this kind of rebellion?
"This……"
Chuzhuang and Yunhong looked at each other without speaking.
But it can be seen from their hesitant attitude that they are not willing to reveal Jingheng's secret at this time.
"Chuzhuang, second brother, are you really going to watch Jingheng and the others..."
Yun Zhanfei stared at the two of them with wide eyes, his eyes were full of horror, and said: "And, second brother, that's yours..."
Although Yu Wenchang did very unethical things at the beginning.
I have never fulfilled my responsibilities as a father for a day.
But he is also Yunhong's biological father after all!
How could Yunhong watch him being killed by Ren Jingheng and the others?
In particular, this is a crime of regicide and treason. If they don't report it, isn't it helping them indirectly?
Huiming frowned, and looked at Chu Zhuang with a puzzled expression. Chu Zhuang didn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to help the prince and Jing Heng rebel.
"Brother, you misunderstood!"
Chu Zhuang patted Yun Zhanfei on the shoulder, telling him to be calm.
"That's right, brother, you should listen to Chu Zhuang and the others first!" Yun Mengxi persuaded from the side.
Although he didn't know what Chuzhuang and Yunhong were planning in their hearts.
But no matter what, he is willing to support them!
"Then tell me, what are you thinking?" Yun Zhanfei looked at the two of them with his arms folded and asked angrily.
"We're not talking about it."
Yunhong glanced at Chu Zhuang, Chu Zhuang nodded slightly, and then he continued: "It's, not right now."
