Hua Zhuo has entered the capital, Yun Chi is startled when he hears this.
It stands to reason that two days after Feiying sent the letter to Lin'an, even if Hua Zhuo rode the fastest horse, he would not be able to reach the capital, unless he had already set off for the capital before he received his letter.
He got out of the carriage, swept around, and asked in a deep voice, "Where are the others?"
"I'm tired, and I'm resting under the wall of the platform." Yunying glanced in the direction of the platform, "Mr. Hua Zhuo seems to have come to the palace first after entering Beijing. There are hundreds of guards, all of whom are very powerful. If he hadn't entered the palace himself, before this group of people attacked, the emperor and the queen mother might not be able to live in peace. Although the guards of the Imperial Palace are heavy, they are not as good as these people .”
Yun Chi said "Yes", and glanced at the heavily guarded Imperial Palace, but there was no movement, indeed not a single fly was put in, "I'll go see him."
Yunying turned sideways to get out of the way.
Yun Chi straightened the sleeves of his robe and walked slowly towards the platform.
There is a strong smell of blood everywhere in the palace, or in other words, the whole capital is now filled with the smell of blood.
Yun Chi came to the picking platform, and sure enough, he saw Hua Zhuo leaning against the pillars of the picking platform, with a tired face, wrinkled black brocade robe, dusty and sloppy face, he didn't seem to care, just like that Lean there.
Standing beside him were An Sixteen and An Seventeen.
Seeing that Yun was late, An Shiliu and An Shiqi hurriedly saluted, "His Royal Highness"
Yun Chi nodded, his eyes fell on Hua Zhuo, and he bowed sincerely, "Thank you, brother-in-law, for helping me relieve the danger of the palace."
Hua Zhuo raised his eyelids and glanced at Yun Chi, seeing his pale face and weak breath, he frowned, "You majestic prince, what are you praying to me for? There is a problem, no need to thank you. You have suffered internal injuries."
Yun Chi straightened up, "You don't need to pay attention to the hard work. After all, this group of people has rebelled and been kicked out by you. They are no longer the Hua family's hidden clues. But you still came to the capital to deal with it yourself, so naturally I will Thank you for your hard work to come to Beijing.”
"Okay, just thank you, go back to your East Palace in a while, and give me two jars of good wine." Hua Zhuo said weakly.
"It's easy to say, let alone two altars, there are also ten altars."
"Is there any drunk beauty?"
Yun was late.
Hua Zhuo stared at him lazily, the words were spoken casually, in a calm manner, as if he only regarded the rare good wine in this world, and didn't care much about who made the wine.
Yun Chi lowered his eyes and said lightly, "Yes, on the day of my wedding with Huayan, my son gave away a hundred altars of drunken beauties. I was afraid that all the guests at the banquet would drink and the bride wouldn't be able to drink, so I specially asked Uncle Fu to give her a drink. Ten altars were kept. But she became pregnant soon after, so she didn't drink it and kept it in the wine cellar."
Hua Zhuo patted his sleeves, stood up with difficulty, and faced Yun Chi, "Since you have one, let's get drunk."
"OK"
Hua Zhuoyou smiled, put his hand on Yunchi's shoulder, and said lazily, "Sister-in-law, take me to meet my in-laws."
Yun Chi also bent the corner of his mouth, "If Grandmother sees Eldest Brother, she must be very happy."
"Then let's go." Hua Zhuo withdrew his hand, "I look like this, the Queen Mother won't despise me."
"The eldest uncle saved the emperor's grandmother today, how can the emperor's grandmother despise your Tian family, and they are also grateful." Yun Chi raised his steps to lead the way.
Hua Zhuo sniffed, "The smell of blood all over the city is so bad."
Yun Chi paused, "Yun Ying, you take people with you, and the battle will be settled quickly."
"yes"
Hua Zhuo glanced back, and ordered, "Sixteen, Seventeen, bring someone to help."
"yes"
In a blink of an eye, the people around were sent away, only Yun Chi and Hua Zhuo were left. The two stopped talking and walked side by side. The sound of light footsteps resounded in the night of the silent palace wall.
Not long after, the two arrived at the Imperial Palace.
The guard greeted Yun Chi, "His Royal Highness, the Queen Mother hasn't asked about you just now, and I am very worried about your safety."
Yun Chi gave a "hmm" and brought Hua Zhuo into the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace was very quiet, and there were two figures standing on the steps at the entrance of the hall. They were the Queen Mother and Nanny Zhou. After waiting for some time, the Queen Mother was overjoyed when she saw Yun Chi, and walked down the steps quickly, "Chi'er, can you fine"
As he spoke, he looked him up and down.
Yun Chi took a step forward, supported the Empress Dowager, and frowned, "Grandmother, why did you come out? You should wait in the hall. The night wind is cold, and you have caught the wind and cold carefully."
The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was in good condition. "The Ai family heard that not only thieves entered the palace, but the whole capital was in chaos. The Ai family was very worried. Knowing that you have already entered the palace, how can you stay?" After she finished speaking, she saw The people around Yun Chi were taken aback for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "This is..."
Hua Zhuo cupped his hands in salute, "I'm next to An Hua Zhuo, and pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
The queen mother's eyes lit up, she let go of Yun Chi, and looked at Hua Zhuo, "So you are Hua Zhuo, Yan girl's brother, why did you enter Beijing and when will you be exempted from entering Beijing."
Hua Zhuo straightened up and said with a smile, "I just entered Beijing."
The queen mother wanted to ask again, but Yun Chi stopped her, "Grandmother, let's go in and talk first. Fortunately, the elder brother came to Beijing tonight and calmed down the turmoil in the palace when the grandson was entangled. Otherwise, the grandson would not have Before entering the palace, I'm afraid that you and your father will find it hard to be safe."
The queen mother said "Ouch", "Okay, let's go in and talk."
Nanny Zhou opened the curtain, and the three of them entered the main hall. Ever since the emperor fell into a coma, the queen mother has been staying in the imperial government hall and never returned to the Ninghe Palace. She lived in a warm pavilion closest to the emperor's inner hall.
"The emperor has always wanted to see you, and now he is in a coma. Please greet him. Let's talk in his inner hall. He must be able to hear you, but he can't wake up." The queen mother said.
Hua Zhuo had no objection and nodded.
The three of them entered the inner hall, the emperor lay on the bed, unconscious for some time, he was extremely emaciated, he was already in poor health, now he can almost be described as skinny.
Hua Zhuo stepped forward, looked at the emperor lying on the bed, bowed his hands in greeting, then sat down and talked to the queen mother and Yun Chi.
The luminous pearl in the room was covered with a layer of tulle, it was not dazzlingly bright, but it was not dim because of the dense night. Although the Queen Mother's eyesight was not good, she could still see Huazhuo more clearly than outside the courtyard, and praised Huazhuo several times Good looks.
The queen mother asked Hua Yan's whereabouts again, Hua Zhuo shook her head, and the queen mother asked tentatively, "The Hua family still inherits divination, can't you figure out where Yan girl is and the fetus in her womb, is it good or bad? "
Hua Zhuo sighed, "My younger sister's fate is special, and it is related to the fate of the emperor's star, so I can't figure it out."
The Empress Dowager also sighed, "How could this be a good thing?"
Yun Chi stood up, "Grandmother is getting old, don't worry about these things, it's already three o'clock, let's rest earlier, I will take my uncle back to the East Palace to rest, he has been traveling all the way, and he is also very tired That's it. Another day, brother-in-law will rest and talk to Grandmother."
It was only then that the queen mother realized that Hua Zhuo's clothes were wrinkled and exhausted, but because of his extraordinary temperament, people ignored his current situation, so she nodded immediately, "Okay, go and rest."
The two left the Imperial Palace, Yun Chi made some arrangements for the palace, and left the palace with Hua Zhuo.
At this time, the capital city was quiet. On the street, the men and horses of the Third Department of the Beijing Municipal Government were cleaning and disposing of the corpses, and the smell of blood had not yet dissipated.
Seeing Yunchi's carriage, the fifth prince stepped forward to salute Yunchi with a pale face, "Fourth brother, are you okay?"
Yun Chi lifted the curtain of the car, glanced at him, nodded, fell on his shoulder, and asked him, "Is it hurt?"
The fifth prince shook his head, "It was stained with other people's blood. Fortunately, Feng Niang brought someone to rescue me, and I almost never saw my fourth brother again."
This is the first time since he was born, he has seen large-scale turmoil and killings in the capital. Those people, who came out of nowhere, broke into the various mansions in the capital at the same moment, and also entered the capital of the third division. Although the government had already prepared for it, it did not expect the offensive to be so desperate.
He felt that he had narrowly escaped death, and he still has lingering fears to this day.
"It's good that you're fine." Yun Chi said softly, "What happened tonight is over, and the capital will be peaceful in a short time. After tomorrow, you can also rest."
The Fifth Prince nodded, and vaguely saw a person in Yunchi's carriage, "There is still someone in the carriage, Fourth Brother"
Yun Chi glanced back and saw that Hua Zhuo had fallen asleep with his eyes closed, he said, "It's my uncle, he's tired today, you can talk to him again tomorrow."
The fifth prince suddenly realized that Hua Zhuo had entered the capital, so he nodded.
The carriage returned to the East Palace and entered the gate of the palace. Butler Fu said with a pale face, "Your Highness, are you all right? Mr. Shuli is the Lord of Salvation of the country. He was poisoned and is being healed by heaven.
Yun Chi immediately asked, "But there is a cure for the poison."
"It is said that it is a one-step kill that was lost in the previous dynasty. It is very difficult to solve. Fortunately, the genius doctor has excellent medical skills and suppressed it for the time being. Fortunately, the poison was on Mr. Shuli. Mr. Shuli sealed his heart in time with his high internal strength. If it was on the Duke, he would have died on the spot." Fu Guanjia said, "Now it's in the courtyard where the Duke lives, and he didn't dare to move the place."
"I'm going to take a look." Yun Chi said, glanced at Hua Zhuo, saw that he had woken up, and ordered, "Uncle Fu, arrange a courtyard for uncle." After he finished speaking, he changed his words, "Let him live in the house." Let’s go to Phoenix West Garden, it’s already empty anyway.”
Steward Fu was stunned for a while when he saw Hua Zhuo's face in the car. In the whole world, the only people who asked Yun Chi to call him uncle were Lu Shizi and Lin'an Hua Zhuozi. He saluted suddenly, "The old slave greets the young master, the young master will come with the old slave."
Hua Zhuo rubbed the center of his brows, "Don't worry, I'm also very curious about Mr. Shuli, so I'll go with my sister-in-law to see him first."
Yun Chi had no objection, got out of the carriage, Steward Fu led the way, and the two went to the courtyard where Duke Jing lived.
