"Sister Bao, are you feeling better?" Daiyu asked this question first after entering the palace.
Sighing, Baochai replied: "I'm afraid it's not good!"
"Today, His Majesty has issued an urgent decree to summon the prince to return to the capital as soon as possible!"
p>
Nodding and sitting in the guest seat, Daiyu said: "It will take a month for the decree to arrive in Yili, and it will take more than a month for the prince to return to the capital. I am afraid that he may not be able to come back by the end of March!"
Sighing again, Baochai said: "Yes... that's why I'm worried!"
The bigger the change, the more likely it will be a crisis. Now Zhu Jinghong is not here In the capital, Baochai decided all matters big and small, so she was particularly worried.
At this moment, a list was placed on the desk in front of her, with dozens of people listed according to their degree of intimacy.
The names at the top are the people Zhu Jinghong trusts the most and are the most important. They are Zhang Lin and Lu Yuxin, the two hundred households of the Dragon Imperial Guard, and Xu Guangfu, the deputy Qianhu of the Imperial City Yiwei Division. Li Wenzhao, the Qianhu of Jin Yiwei, and Chen Yuntai, the deputy Qianhu, as well as Sun Shaozu, the West City defense commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
Zhu Jinghong still has many cronies in the capital camp and the bodyguards and troops, but these people are all outside the capital, and water far away cannot quench the thirst nearby.
The six people mentioned above all command troops within the capital and can play a very key role.
"Sister Bao, don't worry... When the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth. Get some rest early, we have to enter the palace tomorrow!"
After nodding, Baochai Said: "How about we sleep together tonight so that we can talk...?"
Daiyu smiled and replied: "The princess has a destiny, how dare I disobey it!"
.........
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Sun Shaozu had already found someone, and a total of two good players were selected, both of whom were his confidants.
But before taking action, in order to ensure nothing went wrong, he chose to take people to go outside Guo's house to survey the terrain on the spot.
He is indeed cautious, which is certainly a good habit, but sometimes he is afraid of being too cautious.
For example, as soon as he led people to the entrance of the alley where Guo's house was located, he happened to bump into Guo Xing who was riding out.
For the two of them, the other person was a person they both recognized even if they turned into ashes. However, at this moment, they both pretended not to see each other, then passed each other and went their separate ways.
At the same moment, both of their expressions became gloomy.
Guo Xing saw Sun Shaozu, and even noticed the two strong men behind him. It was abnormal for the former to come here, and it was even more wrong to bring such two people here now!
Could it be that he recognized me? Could it be that he knew I was back in Beijing? Could it be that he is here...
As Guo Xing thought about it more and more, he became more and more afraid. In Sun Shaozu's heart, heaven and man were also at war, and he was weighing whether to take action now.
We are still in the alley, and there are no pedestrians in front or behind, so we have a good chance of taking action by surprise.
"Chen Gang Wang Qin, GangThat guy who just rode a horse, give me..."
Give me what? Before Sun Shaozu could finish speaking, Guo Xing, who was already nearly two feet away, hit his horse and galloped away from the alley.
Sun Shaozu suddenly turned around, and Guo Xing had already rushed towards the long street. He pulled the reins and turned around and disappeared.
Guo Xing lived in Dongcheng, where there were many people walking on the street. Sun Shaozu was three years old. The person ran out of the alley, and Guo Xing himself had disappeared.
"Sir, could it be that person just now? "Wang Qin asked.
"He discovered us! "Sun Shaozu said in a deep voice.
He was not sure about this, and even resisted the possibility, but he had to think about the worst.
With no choice, Sun Shaozu could only come. He just waited and waited for Guo Xing to return home and kill him without any further delay.
To ensure that everything was safe, he also lurked down and waited with his two confidants for two days. There was no sign of Guo Xing.
Even the people of the Guo family were looking for Guo Xing, which made Sun Shaozu even more anxious.
But when he saw it on the third morning. When Guo Xing returned home, Sun Shaozu felt as if he had fallen into the abyss.
Not only did Meng Yushi accompany Guo Xing home, but there was also a director of the Ministry of War and seven officers. p>With such a posture, how could Sun Shaozu not understand that he had indeed been exposed, and it was very likely that Guo Xing had stabbed the Ministry of War and the Inspectorate?
Thinking of this, he knew that he could not be killed at this time. Killing Guo Xing actually doesn't mean much anymore, not to mention that it's quite difficult to kill someone now.
As he thought before, the next thing he had to do was to beat him up quickly. The situation expanded into a party struggle.
So Sun Shaozu quietly evacuated with his two men.
After thinking carefully, he called his wife Xia Jingui over.
Now that the Princess is the director of Prince Xiang’s Mansion, Xia Jingui has a lot of contact with the Princess, so it would be more appropriate for her to report this kind of thing.
“Why did you call me? "
After staying with Sun Shaozu for several years, Xia Jingui has indeed changed his temper a lot, and his answers are particularly humble and polite now.
" Madam, please sit down! "Sun Shaozu smiled and even stood up to help him.
Xia Jingui was flattered by this. He seemed a little embarrassed at the moment, but he still sat down carefully.
Xia Jingui is now pregnant. It’s been more than four months since I got pregnant, so it’s really not convenient for me.
“Madam, you have to have a good life and take good care of yourself. Our child depends entirely on Madam! "
"I understand! "
"Madam, I have been thinking these past two days, you said that I have worked hard all my life and tried my best to climb up... What are you trying to do? "
Sun Shaozu suddenly said this, which surprised Xia Jingui even more, and then she guessed what happened to this guy.
"Of course the plan is for this family. It’s to revive the family!"
Unexpectedly, Sun Shaozu shook his head, then pointed at Xia Jingui and said: "It's for you, it's for the child in your belly! "
"The family fortune I earned will not be left to future generations in the end! "
Xia Jingui didn't say anything. She was now sure that the bastard in front of her was really in trouble, and she had to help herself.
"Master, you and I are one husband and wife. Why separate you and me! Xia Jingui said in a calm tone.
Sun Shaozu also felt that he had overacted, so he got straight to the point: "Madam, our family is in big trouble!" "
Xia Jingui was not surprised, but asked curiously: "What kind of trouble can make the master so worried? "
Ever since Sun Shaozu joined Prince Xiang's family, he has been on the rise in the past few years, but she has never seen him in a hurry.
"I have offended many people in the army. , there is an enemy among them..."
Sun Shaozu regarded Xia Jingui as a tool, so he could not tell the truth to her, but told her a story he made up.
After hearing this, Xia Jingui turned pale with fright, because the matter involved this time was too important.
According to Sun Shaozu, someone wanted to harm Prince Xiang’s Mansion this time, and they set their footing on Sun.
Although the Sun family has grown stronger now, Xia Jingui knows that if he is not careful in this kind of thing, the Sun family will be destroyed. They are not even considered high-ranking generals, and they are no better than tofu in this level of struggle.
"Madam, we have to ask the palace to intervene in this matter. We will only die on our own!" "
Xia Jingui nodded. As she said before, she and Sun Shaozu are grasshoppers on the same rope, and there is no possibility of being alone.
"What can I do? ? ”
“Go and tell the princess the reason and let her make a decision! ”
After thinking about it for a while, Xia Jingui nodded and agreed. She went to Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Xia Jingui came and went to the Prince's Mansion quite frequently, so she was easily taken into the Prince's Mansion.
But when she entered the inner courtyard, she asked the maid. I know that Baochai is currently in Kunning Palace and will not be able to return home until sunset.
"Can you send someone to send a message to the princess, saying that I have something urgent to report?" "
Hearing this, the female official on duty at Tongxin Palace said: "Madam, what can... be compared to the Queen's condition? "
With just these words, Xia Jingui was blocked back.
This time the matter was too involved, and she did not dare to explain it to the maid casually.
After thinking again and again, she asked again: "Is Lady Lin here? I can go and see her!" "
She even trusted Baochai very much. If she told her, maybe she could find a way to at least get the princess out of the palace.
"Empress Lin, Yang motherMom...all went to the palace today! "
Good guy, the two concubines are not here either, and there is no one in charge of such a large palace.
" Please think of a solution, miss. What I am reporting is related to the affairs of the palace. If your safety is in danger, please ask the princess to make a quick decision! "
Speaking of this, Xia Jingui took out a banknote from his sleeve, which was as much as two hundred taels.
After the female officer accepted it, her whole attitude suddenly changed. He smiled and said: "If you are not a slave and don't want to help, you really can't help a woman! "
Just when Xia Jingui thought that the two hundred taels of silver were wasted, the female official said again: "But... maybe we can try other methods! ”
“Please give me some advice, girl!” "
The female officer on duty was really unambiguous. She immediately went to notify one of the official female officers in the palace, Dong Fang, who was the most trusted by Baochai. The palace servants generally called her "Aunt Dong".
p>After Dong Fang arrived at the scene, the female officer on duty informed her that the situation was urgent.
Going directly to Xia Jingui, Dong Fang asked: "What is the urgent matter that Mrs. Sun mentioned? Where? How is it related to the safety of the palace? "
Only after knowing the true situation, Dong Fang can decide whether to send a message. After all, you can't be careless at this time.
"Aunt Dong, you know... This has never happened before It’s a rash move, but I’m definitely not a stupid woman! "
"This matter is of great importance, so I can only explain it to the princess in person, and ask my aunt to pass it on for her! ”
“It’s all because of the princess’s fault. I, the Sun family, will shoulder the responsibility and will never involve my aunt!” "
Of course Dong Fang is also a smart person. She is thinking carefully about every word Xia Jingui said.
"The woman knows that the queen is critically ill and the princess is in attendance. disease? ”
“I know! "
"At this time, if you are alarmist and tease the princess... have you thought clearly about the consequences? ”
“I know the seriousness, so I won’t be alarmist! "
After staring at Xia Jingui for a while, Dong Fang said coldly: "Wait! ”
The same situation is also happening in Prince Rui’s Palace at this moment. The censor Meng Kuan is persuading the eunuch in charge, hoping that he can invite Zhu Jingyuan out.
Let’s talk about Kunning Palace. , the queen only woke up for a while in the morning, and fell asleep again in the afternoon.
It was also the day when her condition fluctuated, so Baochai and others all came to watch over her, instead of going back after paying her respects as they did two days ago. .
As for the emperor, he left an hour ago because he had state affairs to deal with.
Dong Fang entered the palace and came to the outside of Kunning Palace. She couldn't get in here.
But she can't get in, but someone can, after all, there is sophistication in everything.
Dong Fang is an old man from the palace, and he is familiar with how to operate. >
A few minutes later, a palace maid came behind Baochai and informed her that someone was coming from the palace.
Baochai stood up quietly and took the initiative to leave.When he went to the palace gate, Dong Fang came to him immediately.
When they came to the corner, Dong Fang told the details, including the last questions she asked.
"Sun Xia is careful not to say anything, maybe there is something big going on!" Baochai said calmly.
Dong Fang didn't say anything. At such a memorable moment today, it was already out of line for her to rashly enter the palace to deliver a message.
While Baochai was weighing whether to leave the palace at this time, Dong Fang reminded him: "Princess, Bian Yuzhen, the female official of Prince Rui's Palace, is here!"
Just as Dong Fang shouldn't be here, Prince Rui's Bian Yuzhen shouldn't be here either.
Such a coincidence made Baochai guess that what happened today was indeed important.
"Go and hold her!" Baochai ordered.
"Yes!"
After saying this, Baochai entered Kunning Gate again, and then directly found Daiyu.
"Sister Lin, there are some important matters to be decided in the house. I will go back to the house first... You try to deal with the matters here!"
"If anyone asks, just say ...A batch of medicinal materials has arrived in the house. I will select some treasures and send them to the palace!"
"I asked Dong Fang to stay outside Kunning. If anything happens, just tell her!"< /p>
"Sister Bao, go in peace, I'm here!" Daiyu responded.
After the two sisters said goodbye, Baochai set off outside the palace.
There were many people in the palace at this time. All the concubines and princesses were there, and of course the prince and Prince Rui were also there. Not many people saw Baochai when he left.
A few minutes after she left Kunning Gate, Bian Yuzhen from Prince Rui's Mansion got rid of Dong Fang's entanglement and had someone send the news to Chen Zhi, who then relayed it to Prince Rui. .
"The thirteenth daughter-in-law has left the palace. It seems that this matter is of great importance. You should go and have a look!"
"I'm afraid it won't be good to leave at this time! "
"What are you afraid of when I'm here? If anyone really asks, just say... I have found some precious medicinal materials in the mansion, and you have to pick some yourself!"
Chen Zhi would not have thought that she and Baochai would be in the same place.
But this is actually normal. The most important thing right now is the queen's illness, so the excuse must be related to this matter.
Either ask a doctor or find medicinal materials. The former sounds unreliable, but naturally the medicinal materials appear more real.
As a result, Zhu Jingyuan also left in a low-key manner.
But because he is a man, he is not very low-key and looks conspicuous wherever he goes.
As soon as he left, the prince and Yuan Chun got the news. After the couple looked at each other, they walked to the corner of the hall in tacit understanding.
Yuan Chun said softly: "The two families came out of the palace together, I guess something happened!"
"Hmm!"
Yuan Chun continued: "No matter what What is it, anyway, it would be unfilial to leave at this time!"
The prince hesitated!After a while, he replied: "It's not good to make a fuss at this time... I'm afraid it won't be good!"
Yuan Chun calmly replied: "Who said there was going to be a fuss? Your Majesty will be here soon, just say a few words That’s it!”
“Well!”
The prince returned to the palace, and Yuan Chun came out of Kunning Gate and asked his servants to find out what happened.
After he returned to Kunning Palace, he heard shouts of "Your Majesty has arrived" outside not long after.
After handling the urgent matters, Zhu Xianming returned to Kunning Palace, and then hurried into the inner hall.
Seeing that the queen's breathing was stable, he felt relieved, but he was still not in a good mood.
After waiting for a while, Zhu Xianming came to the main hall and saw the prince and others.
"Why haven't you seen Lao Liu?" Zhu Xianming asked with a frown.
Chen Zhi leaned forward and replied: "Reporting to the emperor, the palace has collected some precious medicinal materials, and Prince Rui personally went to select them for his mother!"
Hearing this, he stood back. Daiyu's heart tightened because she couldn't use the excuse of "medicinal materials" anymore.
At this moment, Daiyu prayed to the emperor not to ask, and racked her brains to think of new excuses.
This is indeed a very brain-burning thing. When Daiyu was sweating on her forehead, Yuanchun's voice sounded in the hall.
"Why...the thirteenth daughter-in-law is nowhere to be seen?"
At this moment, there are four families in the palace, and the concubines from each palace are also here. In Prince Xiang's palace, there are Daiyu and Yang Jingting.
Zhu Xianming looked around, and sure enough he didn’t see Baochai, so he asked: "From the Thirteenth Family, why is your princess missing?"
