After Zhou Jin left, Gu Jiu thought that he would be under stricter monitoring, but unexpectedly, he would have more room to move around.
She can enter and leave the room at will, but she is only limited to activities in the courtyard.
She didn't know where was outside the yard or who was there.
What surprised her even more was that, an hour after Zhou Jin left, Qingmei was sent to her side to serve her.
"lady!"
Qingmei was startled, frightened and excited.
"Thank goodness, ma'am, you're all right."
Gu Jiu pulled her to sit down, "Is your injury healed?"
Qingmei rubbed her forehead, "Okay. I'm just worried about Madam, if I can't eat or sleep well."
"No wonder everyone has lost weight. Where are you these days?"
Qingmei lowered her voice and said in a low voice: "The servant woke up the next night after the accident, and was locked in the wing room and couldn't get out. Knowing that Madam was unconscious, the servant was very worried. I never expected to see Madam in this life .”
Qingmei suppressed her emotions, wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.
Gu Jiu patted her on the shoulder, "Don't be sad, we will return to the palace safely."
"Is it really possible to go back? Madam has been missing for so many days, and the palace hasn't found her yet. Could it be that the palace has given up looking for Madam?"
Thinking of the consequences, Qingmei was terrified.
She was thinking wildly by herself, "Does the palace think that the madam has already suffered an accident? Madame, what should we do?"
Gu Jiu comforted Qingmei, "Don't panic! The more you panic, the more chaotic you become. Calm down, eat and drink with peace of mind, and take care of your body. When the time comes, we will naturally return to the palace."
Gu Jiu possesses a wonderful power to calm people's hearts, and Qing Mei, who was flustered, gradually calmed down.
"As long as the servant stays by Madam's side, the servant will not be afraid of anything."
"That's right, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
Gu Jiu is very calm, at least in front of everyone, she has always maintained calm and restraint, without any panic.
But her heart, as time passed, has been suffering.
Where is Liu Zhaoren
If Brother Yu didn't see her, would he be crying all the time
In the middle of the night, she would toss and turn, too worried to sleep.
However, in order to maintain a strong fighting capacity to deal with Zhou Jin, she must ensure that she has enough sleep every day.
Zhou Jin came two more times, and didn't mention going to Jiangnan, or your woman or my woman.
It's simply eating with Gu Jiu, reading a book, and deliberately creating an atmosphere that the two of them are a family.
Gu Jiu cooperated and did not expose it.
Seeing that Gu Jiu had a good attitude, Zhou Jin revealed some news before leaving, "The emperor's condition is getting worse, and I'm afraid he will die soon. However, the princes have not yet arrived in the capital, and the ministers in the court are arguing to establish a crown prince."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, his face was calm, "Really? The emperor is old, and with stroke, it is inevitable that his condition will get worse."
Zhou Jin laughed, "If the emperor, King Lining, is the crown prince, do you think he can have a kidnapped and dishonorable woman as his daughter-in-law?"
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "At worst, we will kill everyone who knows."
"You are cruel."
"It's not as decisive as Zhou's son, who dared to kidnap his grandson's wife."
"I will take it as a compliment from you, I will accept it. Take good care of your health, and I will come to see you another day."
Zhou Jin left with someone.
Qingmei looked frightened.
Gu Jiu's expression was unusually solemn, Zhou Jin would not bring up the news that the emperor was seriously ill for no reason.
It must be the situation in the palace, which has developed to the point where it is on the verge of breaking out.
Why hasn't King Ning come back yet
Is Liu Zhao going to meet King Ning, or is he going to do something else
Yu brother, how are you
…
The courtiers surrounded the Xingqing Palace again, but because the emperor suddenly fell into a coma, they could only give up in the end.
The courtiers were not reconciled.
What is the emperor thinking
At this time, he still refuses to let go of his mouth and establish a crown prince. Do he have to sit and watch the world go into chaos
What if the emperor dies before the princes return to the capital
Could it be that a little prince is really going to be crown prince
It's just ridiculous.
Some courtiers could not stay in Xingqing Palace, but were invited out by the servants.
"My lords, please don't disturb His Majesty to rest. When His Majesty wakes up tomorrow, it won't be too late for your lords to come and ask for orders."
"Hmph! It must be you eunuchs who have slandered in His Majesty's ears, making His Majesty reluctant to make a decree to appoint a Crown Prince."
"My lords, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. We are all servants of His Majesty, and we only follow His Majesty's orders to do things."
"You eunuch, get out! Tell Chen Dachang to come out, Chen Dachang, come out to me, Chen Dachang."
Chen Dachang led people out of the bedroom, "It is disrespectful to make noise in Xingqing Palace without reason. Drive them all out."
"Chen Dachang, how dare you!"
"Our family is following orders, why don't you dare. Drive them all out. If you dare to make trouble again, call Jin Wuwei to come in."
Cheng Dachang's eyes were deep, and he didn't give the courtiers any face.
The servants were not polite when they got the order. With a group of little Huangmen, he forcibly drove the courtiers out of Xingqing Palace, and even drove them out of the palace directly.
The courtiers were extremely indignant.
On the second day, more people were organized to attack Xingqing Palace.
For a while, people in the capital panicked.
From the imperial army to the soldiers and horses of the five cities, there is no peace.
Even Jin Wuwei's hearts are fluctuating.
If it hadn't been for Wei Zhong's suppression, even the Jinwu Guard would have followed suit.
All the people in the Xingqing Palace became what the courtiers called rebellious officials and thieves.
"The eunuchs are misleading the country!"
Some courtiers uttered deafening shouts, and the response was like a cloud.
What's more, he directly hit Qingjun's side, trying to overthrow the eunuch.
"Elder-in-law, what can we do?"
A servant panicked and ran to Chen Dachang for advice.
Chen Dachang didn't panic at all, "Why panic, there's nothing terrible about a group of civil servants making a fuss. Tell the imperial guards to keep watch over the palace gate, and don't allow those courtiers to enter the palace to disturb His Majesty. Unless His Majesty announces their audience."
The servant took the order.
However, Chen Dachang underestimated the courage of those courtiers, and also underestimated the ambition of some people.
So much so that when he heard the deafening shouts of killing inside and outside the palace walls, he realized that he had miscalculated people's hearts.
"Your Majesty, this move of yours is probably going to ruin Da Zhou's country!"
Chen Dachang had no choice but to bring guards by the emperor's side.
The emperor woke up from his deep sleep, and when he learned that someone stormed the palace gate, it was really a rebellion, so he laughed hehehe.
Chen Dachang knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please make up your mind as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be too late."
The emperor sat up with his hand on the servant's hand, "Have you registered the list of troublemakers?"
Chen Dachang bowed and said, "Everyone is registered."
"What's going on outside?"
"Someone has been sent to check. I hope it's just civil servants storming the palace."
"No, not civil servants." The emperor shook his head, "Listening to this movement, it seems that someone can't wait to rebel."
Hearing the rebellion, all the colors of the bedroom changed.
At this time, there was a little yellow door rushing in, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is asking to see you. The imperial concubine has already arrived outside the door."
"Step aside!"
Concubine Xue Gui led the people and rushed directly into the bedroom.
Chen Dachang's face was extremely ugly, did the Jinwu guards guarding outside the Xingqing Palace eat food? Why couldn't Concubine Xue Gui be stopped.
"Your Majesty, you've woken up!" Concubine Xue Guipan looked bright, dressed in a splendid attire, today was a happy day.
Following Concubine Xue into the bedroom was a group of heavily armed soldiers
They drove away everyone in the bedroom.
Anyone who dares to resist will be killed directly.
Chen Dachang's eyes were about to burst, no wonder Concubine Xue was able to break through the Jinwu Guard and rush into the palace.
"Concubine Xue Gui, are you planning to rebel?" Chen Dachang asked angrily.
Concubine Xue Gui looked back at him, "Rebellion? Hahaha... What a joke, this palace is on the side of the Qing emperor, and the ones who clean up are you eunuchs who have harmed the country and the people. You control your majesty and do not allow courtiers to see you. I would like to ask if you are Want to rebel?"
"You spitting blood, we are all following orders."
"You said you acted according to orders, but is there an imperial decree?"
"Of course it is at His Majesty's word of mouth."
Concubine Xue sneered, "You said you were following His Majesty's orders, but who knows if you are making things up? Your Majesty is seriously ill, and the princes are not in the capital. At this moment, courtiers are needed to help His Majesty solve problems. You eunuchs and the Jinwu Guard , Stop the courtiers from seeing His Majesty, what exactly do you want to do? What are your intentions?"
"Concubine Xue Gui, you want to rebel for King Zhao, why do you need to find so many high-sounding reasons." Chen Dachang sneered.
Concubine Xue was full of sarcasm, "Chen Dachang, I will spare your life for the time being, you'd better be honest. Otherwise, don't worry about me doing justice for the heavens, killing you as a powerful official, and changing the world for a bright future."
Chen Dachang's eyes were red and his face was distorted, "Converting black and white, especially shameless, ridiculous!"
Concubine Xue Gui laughed mockingly, "Drag him down and keep him under strict supervision."
No matter how hard Chen Dachang struggled, he couldn't break free from the restraint of the soldiers, so he could only be dragged down unwillingly.
"Your Majesty, my concubine has come to visit you."
The Son of Heaven was already so angry that he was speechless when Concubine Xue Guifei led people into the palace.
If it weren't for the breath in his heart that he refused to let go, the emperor would have passed out long ago and asked Concubine Xue Gui to ask for anything.
The Son of Heaven stretched out his hand, pointed at Concubine Xue Gui, widened his eyes, and cursed with all his strength: "Bitch!"
Concubine Xue Gui was not angry, but sat down beside the bed, "The concubine did this for the sake of the country and society of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Your Majesty, listen to the movement outside. The ministers of civil and military affairs are all shouting at the side of the Qing emperor. But you just trust this group of people." An eunuch, he refuses to meet courtiers, and refuses to appoint a crown prince, people have changed their minds!"
The Son of Heaven sneered, "What is Qing Jun's side? It is clear that someone fished in troubled waters and tried to force the palace to rebel."
"Your Majesty is serious. No one forced the palace to rebel, everything is a misunderstanding. As long as His Majesty appoints the crown prince now, the people outside the palace will immediately retreat, and will never disturb His Majesty's cultivation."
The emperor glared at him angrily, "If I appoint a crown prince, I'm afraid he will die without a sound tomorrow."
Concubine Xue covered her lips and smiled, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
The emperor didn't know, so, "What are you laughing at?"
After Concubine Xue finished laughing, she said: "It turns out that Your Majesty is also afraid of death! My concubine always thought that Your Majesty was fearless. For decades, you have taken life and death, and how many lives have been lost because of your words. I thought Your Majesty I have seen through life and death, but unexpectedly, the one who fears death the most is Your Majesty."
The emperor's left cheek, which was still movable, was distorted, "Bitch! If you don't retreat quickly, I can let the past go. If you don't know what to do, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Concubine Xue gave a contemptuous smile, "Now that the matter has come to an end, how can His Majesty be so rude to his concubines? Is it a decree to bestow death on your concubines? Can His Majesty's decree come from Xingqing Palace?"
"You, you scourge, why didn't I execute you early."
"Old man!" Concubine Xue Gui suddenly turned her face, and directly called the emperor an old man, "I have endured you for many years, since I was young, and I have endured until today. But starting today, I will not bear it anymore. If you are knowledgeable, you should issue an imperial edict to appoint King Zhao as the heir apparent right now. If you are not knowledgeable, this palace has plenty of solutions."
"Rebellious officials and thieves, you will die!" The emperor panted again and again, "I will kill you, kill you."
However, what the seriously ill emperor did not have much credibility.
Even the power of speaking is greatly reduced, only his anger can be felt.
He is no longer the emperor who is arbitrary and decides life and death.
Concubine Xue sneered, "It's up to me to say this. You honestly issue the imperial edict, and this palace allows you to die. If you insist on resisting, today is your day of death. Come here, write the imperial edict. edict."
Immediately, someone prepared pen and ink, imitating Chen Dachang's handwriting and began to write the imperial edict.
The emperor's eyes were about to burst, he didn't expect that Concubine Xue Gui would really have the guts to pass on the imperial decree, even daring to fabricate the imperial edict
"Who gave you the guts?"
"Hahaha… "
Concubine Xue looked up to the sky and laughed.
