When Lu Shiming returned home, he immediately called Lu Xiangzhi into the study, and told him about the empress dowager calling the cabinet ministers into the palace tonight.
"What is the empress dowager trying to do? If something happens to the emperor, how come there is no news from the capital, and there is no movement in Anhe City. Could it be that the empress dowager wants to take the opportunity to seize the throne?" Lu Xiangzhi asked angrily on the spot.
"Everyone knows what she is going to do. Now the most important thing is to know the situation in Anhe City first. Even if the emperor disappears, Yaoyao must be careful. Now General Ye has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and he is escorting him." Yaoyao is naturally not a problem, what worries me the most is that the Queen Mother is secretly making moves behind her back." Lu Shiming said in a low voice.
"Father, I will personally go to Anhe City and tell the emperor about the capital." Lu Xiangzhi immediately said.
Lu Shiming shook his head, "If you leave the capital, the queen mother will know immediately. You go to Xue Lin and ask Xue Lin to go to Anhe City. You have to stay in the capital. Once the queen mother has any intentions, you can still be with General Ye." Supported."
"Father, is this just the queen mother's wishful thinking or... the little prince also has that ambition?" Lu Xiangzhi asked in a low voice, he really didn't want to believe that Murong Yi would betray the emperor.
Only then did Lu Shiming think of the most critical question, "I didn't see the little prince in the Palace of Compassion and Peace today, so I don't know if he knew about it."
"Then I'll ask the little prince first." Lu Xiangzhi said.
"Okay, if the little prince doesn't have that intention, then it's the Queen Mother's idea alone." Lu Shiming said in a low voice. Thinking of the Queen Mother's humiliation to Yaoyao, he was still angry at this moment. It seems that even if Yaoyao comes back, the Queen Mother It will definitely not make her feel better.
Lu Xiangzhi nodded lightly, and after coming out of Lu's house, he went directly to Murongyi's palace. After inquiring with the concierge and knowing that the young prince was in the mansion, he immediately went to the study.
He has been to this palace for countless times, and all the servants know him.
Murongyi heard that he was coming in the study, and walked out from behind the desk with a smile, "You don't want to come to my place for dinner, do you?"
"I'm here for a drink." Lu Xiangzhi said with a faint smile, "I still have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Murong Yi asked, sending out the eunuch who was serving in the study.
Lu Xiangzhi lowered his voice, "Do you know something happened to the emperor?"
Murongyi's expression tightened, "What did you say? Who told you? Why haven't I heard of it? The cabinet doesn't have any news either."
"Today the Empress Dowager informed the cabinet ministers to enter the palace..." Lu Xiangzhi told the young prince what the Empress Dowager said today, "Ayi, you should know who the Empress Dowager is doing this for."
"I know." Murongyi's face was ashen, "The queen mother never told me about the emperor's brother, let alone summoned the cabinet ministers today. I don't believe that something will happen to the emperor's brother. The queen mother did this... Is it because of the emperor's brother?" where?"
Murongyi was very sad in his heart, how could the Queen Mother do such a thing? That's Brother Huang! It was his own royal brother, if not for his desperate efforts to protect them all these years, would they still be where they are today? When the Empress Dowager learned about the accident of the emperor's brother, she still had the mind to secretly arrange how to help him to the throne. Shouldn't she be most concerned about the safety of the emperor's brother
If Brother Huang knew about this, he would feel sad in his heart.
"I'll go to the palace immediately to find the queen mother." Murong Yi said, his eyes were a little red.
Lu Xiangzhi took his hand, "What can you do when you enter the palace? The queen mother left Ruan Jinghua and three people to discuss it for a long time today. Do you think she cares about the emperor? If you can persuade her, she won't hide it." I'm following you."
"Could it be that the queen mother betrayed the emperor like this?" Murong Yi said angrily, "That's my elder brother. If something happens to him, how can I sit here with peace of mind?"
"Even if the emperor is in danger, he will save the day. There are only two reasons why Anhe City has not sent any news. One is that the matter is false, and the other is that it was deliberately concealed. The Empress is also in Anhe City now. You have to believe it The empress is the empress, the emperor believes in you, so he will let you stay in the capital, when he is not around, you are his eyes, his hands, you have to protect the capital for him."
Mo Rongyi calmed down from his anger and grief, "The queen mother has been in the palace all this time, how did she know that something happened to the emperor's brother?"
"I heard that the emperor's confidant came back to tell her, but I don't know who came back. I heard that the person was seriously injured in the imperial hospital." Lu Xiangzhi said.
"Impossible!" Murong Yi shook his head, "If it's Brother Huang's confidant, it's impossible to go to the Queen Mother first, I'll go to the imperial hospital to inquire, if there is such a person, I will definitely inquire. "
Lu Xiangzhi also felt that this person was very important, "Okay."
Murongyi asked Lu Xiangzhi to follow him into the palace. First, he went to the imperial hospital. In the backyard of the imperial hospital, there were several rooms for people to stay and recuperate. Murongyi called Gong Yuanjuan over, "from Anhe City Where is the person who came back?"
"Go back to the lord, that person has already left, Qiu Guojiu took him away." Gong Yuanjue replied.
Qiu Yaozong? Surprise flashed across Murongyi's eyes, and he exchanged a glance with Lu Xiangzhi.
"Do you know who it is?" Brother Huang has only a few trusted confidantes around him, so it's not difficult to recognize them.
"The lower official didn't recognize who that person was, and he seemed to have never seen him before." Gong Yuan judged.
"Then how is his injury? How did he get hurt?" Murongyi asked in a deep voice.
Gong Yuanju didn't know the purpose of the little prince asking this person, but he felt that the person's wound was really strange, and because the person was sent by the queen mother, he couldn't say it too bluntly, "It's an arrow wound, it looks like If the newly added wound is an old wound, it will not hold up in a few days."
That's pretty suspicious! Murongyi snorted coldly, and said to Lu Xiangzhi, "Go to Qiu's house and find out where Qiu Yaozong took him. I'll go and find out if Qiu Yaozong has entered the palace today. I'll meet you in a while. .”
Lu Xiangzhi nodded lightly, "Okay!"
Murong Yi has been in charge of the government for a while, and it is not difficult to inquire about something in the palace, so he soon knew that Qiu Yaozong had entered the palace today to meet the Queen Mother. A man who claimed to be from Anhe City went to see the Queen Mother.
It seems that it is hard to say whether this person is from Anhe City.
Murong Yi called over the maid Jing Ping who was beside the Empress Dowager, interrogated her carefully, and found out that the Empress Dowager and Qiu Yaozong were discussing something in the dormitory today, and even sent out the maids beside her.
"You go down first, if you hear anything in the past two days, tell me immediately." Murongyi ordered in a low voice.
