When the emperor and his ministers heard the news, they were silent for a while. After a moment, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Wasn't the emperor's grandmother in good health when she set off from Wannian County? How could she become ill in just a few days!"
The messenger knelt down on one knee and said, "To reply to Your Majesty, according to the diagnosis of the imperial physician, the Empress Dowager has been in disharmony these days and is inevitably weak. Therefore, she is not accustomed to the climate in the mountains."
The emperor and Deng Chengzhai looked at each other, a strange look flashing across their faces.
"I understand. It's been a hard work for you to come all the way to report the news. Just go down." The emperor was silent for a while and ordered Yan Yin to find a servant to arrange the people. When only the emperor and his ministers were left in the hall, he sneered!
And Deng Chengzhai immediately raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is such a coincidence, it is probably a fraud!"
Although the Empress Dowager fell ill after the summer banquet, she has not recovered yet.
She was indeed ill when she set off from the Imperial Capital, but since she was able to go on the road, it was confirmed by the Taiyuan Hospital that she could withstand the fatigue of the journey.
Not to mention Fengjia's side, in addition to the many waiters, several imperial doctors with the best medical skills are all there, taking turns serving day and night, to be careful of anything going wrong... How come there is no problem in the early stage and no problem in the later time? However, he came to report it at this time, and he still urged the emperor. Hurry over there...
These words sounded as if the Empress Dowager was dying and wanted to see the Emperor for the last time, but who knew whether Ji was cruel and deceived the person under the guise of killing him with a knife
Anyway, everyone in the palace knows the origin of the noble concubine Shu, Concubine Xin, Mrs. Yaoning. As long as she is not caught with irrefutable evidence, Ji can completely push the charge of regicide - then she will just repeat the past and use the emperor. The Queen Mother's identity and seniority put pressure on her to establish a new young king.
Of course, maybe the Ji family will get away with it this time, but no matter what, if they really have murderous intentions towards Chunjia, it will be very dangerous for Chunjia to go to Qishan.
After all, there is no resurrection after death.
As long as the emperor has three strengths and two weaknesses, what's the use of Ji's misery in the future
Moreover, Deng Chengzhai also had another worry that he didn't dare to say out loud, that is, the two generations of emperors of the Gongxiang clan were very aggrieved. It was rare that Emperor Chunjia had not lost his spirit after being restrained for eight years, and showed some royal spirit. If He made a mistake. With the blessings of the clan, could there be another similarly capable emperor
By then Gongxiang's family might really be in danger.
"I will take care of it." The Emperor was not one who could not listen to advice. He nodded after hearing this, but then said, "It's just that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, so I have to go and visit her immediately."
Deng Chengzhai said: "The weather is so hot. Your Majesty has been staying in Wannian County for several days for the sake of the Chen family and Li Shu's family. It is reasonable if he is ill."
The Empress Dowager fell ill in time, and the Emperor could also follow suit.
It is right that the emperor, as his heir, should be filial to the Empress Dowager, but the emperor is the emperor, and it is impossible for the emperor to get sick and rush to see the Empress Dowager, right
Isn’t this irresponsible to the country
"This is inappropriate." The emperor pondered for a while and said, "Not to mention that I have just appeared in front of others, this move is too obvious; just talk about the current situation, the Empress Dowager can fall ill, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Deng Chengzhai realized his mistake: The emperor worked so hard to bring out the Zheng Fengpin case not only to seize power and recruit people to deal with the Ji family, but also to show that the emperor was young, promising, and powerful. A blessing
The results of it
The emperor, who was loved by both the government and the public, sat in the hall and personally interrogated Zheng Yanei before the ceremony came to an end. He was ill because of his health. Isn't this extremely unlucky
Maybe it will be used by someone with ulterior motives, saying that there is an inside story about Zheng Fengli's case, and the emperor openly shielded it, so he suffered retribution... Zheng Ju, Ji, and Cui Wan may not dare to do this at this time, but don't forget that the emperor is currently The regent, his ally, has both this motive and this ability.
Thinking of the regent, Deng Chengzhai frowned even more: the empress dowager was not only the grandson of Emperor Chunjia, but also the regent's aunt.
She was ill, and it was very serious. It was so serious that someone needed to be sent to inform the emperor to rush over. Then the regent had to say hello, too.
Originally, it would not be very safe for the emperor to go there alone. If he went there with the regent, well, what should I say? Ji's attempt to regicide and usurp power may still be risky, but if the regent is responsible for doing this, he will be ready to drag Ji's back...
In short, this trip is impossible, and it must be done as soon as possible, so as to show the emperor's filial piety and maintain the character of Emperor Chunjia.
But if you go there, it will be really dangerous...
this…
Deng Chengzhai was still thinking hard, but the emperor suddenly turned his head and called Yan Yin: "Go and invite Mao Jieyu."
Not long after, the gorgeous Yun Fenghuang walked in with a smile, carrying a food box virtuously in his hand... Seeing Deng Chengzhai, her smile faded slightly, and she looked at him curiously, then stepped forward to wish the emperor a blessing, and smiled. He said: "I was thinking about your majesty, but on the way here I met Yan Yin and followed the instructions to find me... I don't know what your majesty's orders are?"
The emperor chuckled lightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear concubine."
After ordering everyone to disperse, Fang said, "Someone came from Qishan just now..."
He told the Empress Dowager that she was seriously ill and needed the Emperor to arrive as soon as possible, and then said, "I plan to leave immediately. My beloved concubine should also quickly pack up and leave with me!"
"Concubine?" Yun Fenghuang's expression turned a little ugly when he heard that the Empress Dowager was ill so coincidentally, or that Empress Dowager Ji had sent her the news. When he saw that the Emperor wanted to take her away, he was stunned and pointed. The tip of his nose said, "Since Your Majesty is so anxious, is it appropriate to take this concubine with you?"
The emperor took a sip of tea and An Ran said: "Why is it inappropriate? The emperor's grandmother is lying on the couch. According to the rules, everyone above the imperial concubine's position has to go to wait on her. Before, the queen was generous and served her in person. She didn't ask you to work hard, and you were used to it. Already?"
"... But His Majesty is in a hurry, and as a prostitute, I am afraid that it will drag down His Majesty?" Yun Fenghuang twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that it would be strange for me to believe you!
She bet that the emperor must have felt that this trip might not be safe. Was he deliberately dragging her down
Why don't you be so shameless? You are a majestic emperor, so you should be picky and picky about who to be buried with you. It's really unworthy that I, De Rong ICBC, don't have a suitable new Jieyu!
At this moment, he tried his best to refuse, "Why don't you, Your Majesty, take the first step and allow me to follow you?"
"Why should I belittle myself, my concubine?" The emperor held the tea bowl and looked at her with a very soft look. His tone was also gentle and gentle, but there was no wavering in his eyes. "My concubine was born in the north. It is said that she also learned to ride and shoot when she was a child. "You are skilled in bow and horse. When the time comes, you can just put on your curtain hat and ride with me. How can you be a drag?"
Yun Fenghuang was going crazy, crazy, and crazy again. She twisted her handkerchief and calmed down for a while before she said with a smile: "I was indeed a bit naughty when I was young. Now that I have entered the palace, of course I will try my best to follow her. Sisters, please learn to be gentle and elegant... But your Majesty has an order, how dare I disobey it?"
He said that he wanted to change his clothes later so as not to be burdened by palace attire and hairpins, which would delay the emperor's schedule.
The emperor readily agreed and asked Yan Yin to take the people to pack some simple luggage and prepare to set off.
Finally, he turned to Deng Chengzhai, who was speechless in the hall, and said warmly: "Mao Jieyu is more suspicious than me. If we take her with us, we won't be able to get to Qishan Palace quickly without us trying our best."
Deng Chengzhai said: "But in a hurry, Mao Jieyu is just a harem girl after all. If there is a flaw and people know..."
"That was also done by Mao Jieyu." Emperor Chunjia looked calm, with a hint of coldness between his handsome brows, "What does it have to do with you and me?"
Thinking about it, Deng Chengzhai couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Yun Fenghuang, who originally had a bad impression.
This master is capable of causing trouble and causing trouble, but due to his status, he goes around and around, and in the end can only be used by the emperor, tsk tsk...
And Yun Fenghuang, who was being sympathized with by him, was hurriedly changing clothes in the inner room, while instructing Nianxuan to prepare medicine: "It's so hot, and you have to abandon the emperor's chariot and hurry up, don't get a heatstroke or something, you go." Come with a few prescriptions to make it easier to use on the road."
At the same time, he ordered Xile in a cold voice, "Contact the Crown Prince immediately!"
Xile knew that the matter was serious and asked hurriedly: "What are you going to do?"
"...The Empress Dowager is dying, so the Regent and his son must also be present." Yun Fenghuang almost put his lips to her ears and whispered, "Let Qi Jiulu find a way to follow the Crown Prince... regardless of whether they are with His Majesty or not. Go, on the way, be sure to find a way to unobtrusively drag me down my schedule!"
When she couldn't see Chunjia's plan clearly
This Hunjun had a good idea. He didn't want to put himself in danger and drag her into the tank before he understood the situation in Qishan!
It's just that Yun Fenghuang is not stupid. Since he knows that Chunjia has no good intentions, how can he be willing to do what he wants
The relationship between Zuo Zuo and Gong Xiangxiao is useless!
Xile took the order and left in a hurry. Yun Fenghuang took some time out of his busy schedule to give some instructions to the followers who had been left behind, and even asked someone to go to Yi Xing'en to say something - he finally packed up and took Nianxuan out. At this time Yi Xingen arrived just in time: "Mother, I heard from the people below..."
"I don't have time to tell you in detail now. You can ask Xile when Xile comes back later." Yun Fenghuang said as he walked towards the front hall, "It's a pity that you can't ride a horse, otherwise you can still be with me. Your Majesty, let’s set off together.”
Yi Xingen subconsciously wanted to answer, but she woke up in time when the words came to her lips, and quickly saluted: "Yes!"
He followed her and said a few words of safe travels until she reached the Chuihua Gate. Then he stopped and watched Yun Fenghuang's back disappear at the end of the corridor.
The emperor and Deng Chengzhai were already ready. Hearing the neighing of horses outside, they thought someone below had prepared mounts at the door.
Seeing that Yun Fenghuang only brought Nianxuan with him, the emperor was slightly startled at first and said, "Why isn't it Xile Xijing?"
It suddenly dawned on her, "Yes, you brought this palace maid from the North."
So he should be able to ride a horse.
Since they were "in a hurry" to visit the critically ill Empress Dowager, the group naturally had no time to say more. After a few words at this moment, Nianxuan put a curtain hat on Yun Fenghuang, then went out and mounted her horse, among a group of fully armored people. He flew away surrounded by guards!
It was actually almost evening now. Even though everyone's mounts were all well-chosen horses, they were only ten miles away from the city. Because there were no stars or moon today, they had to camp on the spot.
