After hearing the news, Concubine Feng went out to welcome her. As soon as she left the palace gate, she saw the queen standing outside the palace in a phoenix suit. Behind the queen were dozens of guards in armor.
Faced with all this, Concubine Feng was not disturbed at all, she went forward and saluted lightly: "Empress Empress, the Emperor has a decree that no one can enter without permission."
The empress is dressed in a phoenix suit, full of aura: "The emperor has been in an inexplicable coma recently, and only Concubine Feng is close by to serve me. I suspect that Concubine Feng has deceived and assassinated the Emperor! Come! Take down Concubine Feng!"
The imperial guards brought by the queen stepped forward immediately, and the Jinwu guards behind Concubine Feng also did their part to greet them with their swords in their hands.
Concubine Feng took two steps back, stood in the protective circle of the Jinwu Guard and asked loudly, "What is your empress trying to do? Force the palace?"
The queen sneered, with a natural air of luxury: "This palace is the mother of a country, so it is only natural to care about the safety of the emperor. But you, Concubine Feng, are here to confuse the public with lies, and you don't know what it means!"
Concubine Feng Gui didn't want to talk so fast with the empress here, she silently took two steps back, and said loudly: "Protect the emperor!"
At the same time, the queen also took a step back, making room for the guards behind her.
Seeing that the Emperor's Jinwu Guards and the imperial guards brought by the Empress were about to turn against each other, at this moment, a man in black armor and riding a big bay red horse rushed over and shouted: "Stop!"
The Jinwu guards looked at each other in blank dismay after seeing this, not knowing what the situation was now.
The queen was also quite surprised by this. She looked at the man on horseback and didn't give any orders to the imperial guards.
The man on the horse came close and shouted to the Jinwu Guard: "I told you to stop, didn't you hear?"
The Jinwu guards immediately withdrew their swords, bowed and clasped their fists to the visitor, and shouted respectfully: "Your subordinates refer to the commander."
Concubine Feng Gui's expression changed.
The visitor walked up to the queen, suddenly knelt down and said, "This subordinate is the envoy of the Jinwu Guard, willing to serve the queen."
Only then did the queen feel at ease, knowing that this person should be arranged by the Seventh Prince.
She gave a slight nod to the Jin Wuwei envoy, then looked around at the people in front of her, and said loudly: "No matter what the outcome of today's matter is, I will bear it all. If I wrong Concubine Feng Gui, I will ask the emperor for guilt. "
After giving everyone these reassurances, the empress ordered again: "Come here! Take Concubine Feng Gui down!"
Seeing this, Concubine Feng knew that she was being planted, but she didn't want to run away, but didn't resist at all, and let the Jinwu Guards tie her up. Seeing the queen rushing in with the people, Concubine Feng narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists unwillingly.
Only two hours away, she will be able to retreat as planned!
The queen's actions were outside of their plan, but it didn't matter. Although the task was not complete, she had already done the most important part.
It's a pity, no matter what the queen wants to do now, it's too late.
The queen strode into the palace and looked at the emperor lying on the bed. She didn't go any closer, but called Mulan and asked her about the current situation in the palace.
Mulan was a nanny who had been placed by the emperor's side for more than twenty years.
"Your Majesty, when the Emperor and Concubine Feng came back, they were carrying an imperial decree. The old slave watched Concubine Feng put it in the cabinet. But when Concubine Feng was out just now, this old slave went to look for it, and the imperial decree was gone. "
imperial decree
Thinking of the message sent by the Seventh Prince last night, the Empress already had an idea in her mind, and immediately ordered: "Send Aunt Li to pry her mouth open as soon as possible! In addition, ordering someone to dig three feet into the ground is not enough." We must find out that imperial decree!"
"Yes." Mulan was ordered to leave, and the queen ordered: "Order someone to send the news to the seventh prince. In addition, go and invite Concubine Lin Shu over." decreed.
After finishing the order, the queen took out a pack of medicine that had been prepared before from her waist, and fed the medicine into the mouth of the unconscious emperor together with the maids beside her.
What happened in the palace was not spread at all, except for those few people, no one knew what happened in the palace.
In the mansion of Princess Jinyang, Chu Yan did not return all night, but when he came back at noon the next day, he brought more than 300 guards, which completely blocked the defense of Princess Jinyang, especially in Su Yan's courtyard, except for the original guards. It has increased a lot, almost filling up Su Yan's yard.
Looking at the dark crowd through the glazed window, Su Yan was quite surprised: "Cai Xia, have you gone outside to see what's going on?"
Caixia hurriedly went out to ask a question, and only after she came back did she answer: "My servant has inquired. The elder son has brought Mr. Xing's wife and the young master over. The servant girl saw the elder son in the east corridor at the door just now. It seems that he is in the right place. Come this way."
After hearing Caixia's words, Su Yan sat down while supporting the table. After talking with Chu Yan yesterday, Su Yan already thought of what would happen in the future, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly and suddenly.
Sure enough, the first thing Chu Yan said to Su Yan when he entered the room was: "I'm afraid the sky will change in this capital."
Su Yan didn't think too much, just said: "Change, change, this will end sooner, and we will feel at ease sooner."
Chu Yan walked closer and touched Su Yan's hair, and said softly: "You are pregnant now, don't be brave in everything, and wait at home with peace of mind."
Su Yan looked up at him, and found that his eyes were bloodshot because he hadn't slept all night. Thinking that at this moment, he was thinking about himself and his family first, Su Yan held Chu Yan's hand distressedly, and said softly: "Be careful in everything, I'll wait for you at home." She knew that only if she reassures Chu Yan, can he let go of his hands and feet to fight.
Chu Yan came back in a hurry, and left in a hurry. He only spoke a few words with Su Yan before leaving in a hurry.
The street outside was still bustling, and there were still buyers at the vegetable stalls arguing with the vendors over a copper coin. No one felt a sticky and hot wind suddenly blowing in Beijing in the early spring.
After Chu Yan left the Princess Jinyang's mansion, he immediately joined the Seventh Prince's people into the palace.
When the seventh prince and Chu Yan arrived, the emperor was still in a coma. The queen and Concubine Lin Shu were drinking tea in the room. Seeing the seventh prince and Chu Yan coming, the queen put down the teacup in her hand.
After the two entered the room to greet the ceremony, the seventh prince first looked at the unconscious emperor lying on the bed.
Seeing the faint worry in the seventh prince's eyes, the queen said: "The imperial doctor has seen it, and said that there is nothing serious. According to the current situation of the emperor, I am afraid that if he wakes up, someone will take down this palace and all of you present." So I gave the emperor medicine, don't worry, it can only make him unconscious, it won't do anything else."
Concubine Lin Shu never cared about these things, she just listened quietly from the sidelines.
