Chapter 391
As Liang Huanqing walked over, he turned back to look after the heartbroken Qi Jingqin and Qi Wangshu. Among them, Concubine Mei knew about this in advance. Moreover, she was born with hatred because of love. Liang Huanqing Thinking that he had probably been mentally prepared for it, he didn't want to worry about those things anymore. Then he saw Shen Tuchen sitting next to the screen. He was looking at Liang Huanqing closely.
Shen Tuchen played an important role in this matter. At this time, Zheng was also sitting aside. Concubine Mei said that the emperor's destiny was to be like this. He had been ill for so long and had no way to save himself. The imperial doctor Shentu should not be blamed.
The insiders know the plan between the three of them, but to outsiders, it can be regarded as showing that Concubine Mei is heartbroken, but she is also extremely fair and reasonable.
It's just that the emperor has just passed away, and there are still many rules and regulations that Shen Tuchen needs to stay with to check and handle. Since ancient times, the death of the emperor has affected people's livelihood. If it is not handled properly, the entire court will be implicated, and even more What's more, it may also affect the new king's enthronement, so be extremely cautious.
Now, under the cover of Imperial Concubine Mei and the Crown Princess, as well as the previous cases, almost everyone believed that the emperor died of illness. However, according to the rules, all the medicinal diets taken in the days before his death must be re-examined. The body also needs to be examined, which is called enshrinement. This is also a step in preparation for burial.
This step is a great challenge for Shen Tuchen. Nothing in this world is completely perfect. The closer it is to the time when something is going to happen, the more nervous he becomes. He is not afraid of death, but he is innocent all his life and is unwilling to bear the burden. If he dies for a crime, even if he really wants to die, he should end his own life.
Now that he is a disabled person who has lost his legs, Shen Tuchen does not want to live in this world anymore, but he does not want to leave in this way.
When the time came for him to be laid to rest, Shen Tuchen became even more nervous. He believed in his medical skills, but he was still worried that any clues would be discovered.
When Shen Tuchen saw Liang Huanqing walking towards the door of Qinzheng Hall, his eyes quickly followed her. At this moment, Liang Huanqing was his only spiritual support. If he wanted to draw some strength from Liang Huanqing, he was the first It was the first time I used medical skills to kill people. Even though I didn't feel anything at the time, looking back now, I still felt a little uncomfortable.
Liang Huanqing looked at Shen Tuchen and stared at each other for a while. She knew what Shen Tuchen was thinking, and she was also worried about this matter. Even though she knew that Shen Tuchen would not confess her, after all, this matter was related to Shen Tuchen from the beginning. It doesn't matter, if I ignore Shen Tuchen's life and death, wouldn't it be too unkind...
But now there is not much time for them to worry about this matter anymore. They have tried their best. Now they can only do their best to know the fate of fate. However, with Concubine Mei around, nothing major will happen.
Liang Huanqing looked at Shen Tuchen with firm eyes, then nodded slightly, turned around, looked at He Sheng and He Yu, and said, "Get up first and then talk."
He Sheng looked at He Yu, and then stretched out his hand to pull him up. After He Yu stood up, he glanced anxiously at Concubine Mei. There was something going on at the Taihe Sect, but he was afraid that they would hear it. No wonder General Liang Ji We are looking for the Crown Princess, who is the calmest and wisest person at the moment.
"Princess, General Liang Ji is here. He said something happened at the Taihe Gate and he wants to see you." He Yu said respectfully.
Liang Huanqing fell into deep thought for a moment, lowering his head with a troubled look on his face. What happened now must be Qi Jingyang's group, but he didn't expect them to really come.
Seeing the serious look on the Crown Princess's face, He Sheng asked cautiously: "Crown Princess, what do you think we should do now?"
Liang Huanqing finally came out of his deep thoughts, looked at He Yu and asked quickly: "Where is Liang Ji now?"
"Just outside the palace." He Yu said, quickly getting out of the way and opening the door slightly for the Crown Princess to walk out.
Seeing this, He Sheng hurriedly followed Liang Huanqing out. At this moment, Concubine Mei and the others were still in the Qinzheng Hall, so he didn't have to worry at all. But as the chief internal manager for a day, he had to fulfill his responsibilities for a day. We must not slack off our duties just because the emperor is gone.
"Brother!" As soon as Liang Huanqing stepped out of the Qinzheng Hall, he saw people standing under the steps walking around anxiously, as if they had been waiting anxiously for Liang Huanqing to come out.
But now, the two sides are at war with each other at the Gate of Supreme Harmony. Although they are still having a good conversation, since Qi Jingyang has brought people here, he will not give up so easily. I don’t know what is going on at the Gate of Supreme Harmony at the moment. A situation like this, will something happen? It’s really worrying.
Liang Ji was anxious like an ant on a hot pot when he suddenly heard Liang Huanqing's voice. He looked over with joy and said, "Huanqing!" Then he felt something was wrong and quickly knelt down and saluted with clasped fists and said, " I am here to meet the Crown Princess!"
Tang Xue walked out from the side, helped the princess down the steps, and walked quickly towards Liang Ji. Seeing that they must have something to say, He Sheng kept a certain distance. When the master was talking, they As a servant, you cannot listen randomly. He Sheng has been in the palace for so many years, and he still understands these rules.
Liang Huanqing walked up to Liang Ji with a serious look on her face, stretched out her hand to help him up, and said, "There is no need for such nonsense between you and me. What happened to the Supreme Harmony Sect?"
Liang Ji looked around and lowered his voice and said: "Qi Jingyang is indeed here. He refuses to leave at this moment. He even led many people to guard in front of the White Jade Bridge at Taihe Gate. We didn't open the door, so they I want to see His Highness the Crown Prince..."
"I went back to them and said that His Highness the Crown Prince has no time now and asked them to go back." Liang Huanqing said with a frown.
This Qi Jingyang, as he expected, really came to Taihe Sect, and he dared to bring people here. He must be uneasy and well-intentioned. Not to mention that Qi Jingqin has no time or inclination to see him now. Even if he did, Liang Huanqing She will never let Qi Jingqin take this risk. She has done so much and she must not fail in this last step.
"If it were that simple, I would have rejected them long ago, and I wouldn't come here to find you now." Liang Ji was about to get angry now. Although he lowered his voice, there was still a particularly anxious emotion in it. .
Liang Huanqing then thought about it, and it was like this. If Qi Jingyang was dismissed so easily, he wouldn't be called Qi Jingyang.
Liang Huanqing pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then I'll go and have a look with you. In short, Qi Jingyang must not be allowed to enter the palace before tomorrow's memorial service." After saying that, Liang Huanqing looked back at the Qinzheng Palace. They definitely haven't reacted yet. They have to buy time for them. The emperor's death has been a big blow to them. This is understandable. So at this time, Liang Huanqing decided to buy more time for them. .
Liang Ji nodded and hurried to go to Taihe Gate with Liang Huanqing.
At this moment, no one knew what Qi Jingyang wanted to do. Considering his previous actions, Liang Huanqing really did not dare to take the risk of letting him enter the palace. It was not that he was not allowed to see the emperor, but now that he had brought so many people, If you really want to see the emperor fulfill his filial piety, tomorrow's memorial service can completely satisfy him.
Now is the last step. As long as the emperor can be buried smoothly and Qi Jingqin can successfully ascend the throne, everything he has done will not be in vain. Thinking of this, the wound on his arm, which is not good yet, is still aching.
Liang Huanqing turned around and was about to go to the Gate of Supreme Harmony with Liang Ji, leaving Tang Xue here. She was worried that if she took Tang Xue there, something would happen if something unexpected happened. She just stayed here, and if anything happened, she would still be able to do it. Report it to Liang Huanqing in time, and now Liang Huanqing is completely responsible for the mess in the palace.
Seeing this, He Sheng hurriedly followed: "Crown Princess, please let me go with you?"
Liang Huanqing and Liang Ji looked at each other, and then said to He Sheng: "No, just stay in Qinzheng Hall and take care of all the ladies. It's getting late. Send someone to take all the ladies back to the palace first. What's the matter? Let’s wait until tomorrow morning to discuss the matter.”
"Crown Princess...don't you think that this old slave is old and no longer useful?" He Sheng was still a little worried. If something happened to the Taihe Sect at this time, he didn't know what would happen. Looking at the Crown Princess Both the empress and General Liang looked a little solemn, and He Sheng was a little worried.
Liang Huanqing and Liang Ji looked at each other, then sighed, walked up to He Sheng, and said, "If you are in charge, I would be very grateful if you are willing to come. But now that Qinzheng Palace needs you, I feel aggrieved. You stay here to deal with things here first, and you don’t have to worry about the Gate of Supreme Harmony anymore, I’m here with you.”
After saying that, Liang Huanqing winked at He Yu and Tang Xue, and they stepped forward and pulled He Sheng away.
After He Sheng left, Liang Huanqing and Liang Ji hurried to Taihe Gate.
Liang Huanqing was filled with emotion and remained silent.
I just felt that He Sheng looked a little like Uncle Liang. This reminded Liang Huanqing of the days in the General's Mansion. During that time, he was always carefree. He didn't have to think about these things at all. There were no such things in the mansion that he needed. Don't worry, you'll have the whole day to yourself.
But looking back now, I still have to deal with some things so late, and there is no time to rest at all. The days are getting more and more tiring, and I am not at all like the person I used to be.
Liang Huanqing felt a little disappointed. She didn't know if it was worth it. She didn't know if she would get what she wanted after stumbling along like this.
"What's wrong with you?" Liang Ji noticed something was wrong with Liang Huanqing. He hadn't seen her for a while, but he could feel that Liang Huanqing was like a different person, becoming a real stranger.
Liang Huanqing shook his head and chose to bury the tens of thousands of pressures in his heart: "It's nothing."
Since Liang Huanqing chose not to say anything, Liang Ji didn't know where to start asking. For some reason, Liang Ji didn't know how to communicate well with Liang Huanqing now. She could feel that she had changed a lot from before, but... ..
"Brother." Liang Huanqing suddenly said, "No matter what I do, you will support me, right?"
Liang Huanqing turned his head and looked at Liang Ji beside him, his eyes sparkling with starlight, with a trace of inquiry and a trace of uncertainty.
Liang Huanqing had never doubted this matter before. To them, Liang Ji was her brother. Liang Huanqing subconsciously felt that Liang Ji would always help her, no matter what the matter was. But now, she began to do things that went against her heart.
When dealing with moral matters, Liang Huanqing began to feel a little unsure whether Liang Ji would still be willing to help him unconditionally.
Liang Ji was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Liang Huanqing asked this, but then he held her hand. At this time, the palace was quiet. He held her hand when no one was around, just like he did when he was a child.
Liang Ji said: "I am your brother, how could I not help you."
Liang Huanqing suddenly felt warm in his heart.
After receiving Liang Ji's promise, Liang Huanqing no longer worried about those things.
At this time, the corridors of the palace were no longer long and dark. If Liang Huanqing was left alone in the palace, he might collapse and go crazy, but fortunately he had family and friends around him.
After the two of them arrived at Taihe's door together, Luo Xun was worried about why Liang Ji hadn't come over yet, so he kept wanting to look around. Rongfu and the others were at the entrance of the palace, and the group of people in strange clothes behind them were watching with eagerness. Luo Xun was worried about himself
If he doesn't have the ability to wait until they come back, Qi Jingyang will rush in impatiently.
At this time, Qi Jingyang was sitting in the carriage, constantly turning the jade ring on his thumb. His mentality now was completely different from that when he was preparing to enter the palace. At that time, he just wanted to enter the palace to see his father, but
At this time, it turned into wanting to compete with Qi Jingqin. The longer he waited, the more Qi Jingyang's mentality changed dramatically from the initial mentality.
In the dead of night, the two armies were confronting each other, and the battle seemed to be about to break out. Luo Xun was extremely anxious. Even he was a little impatient with waiting, let alone the group of people below?
"You are finally here!" When Luo Xun saw Liang Ji and Liang Huanqing, he hurriedly trotted forward and said, "I am here to see you, the Crown Princess."
"No courtesy." Liang Huanqing raised her hand to help her. She remembered that the commander of the Royal Forest Army in front of her had met at the banquet, but now was not the time to be polite. "What is the situation outside the Taihe Gate now?"
"Crown Princess, you will know after you go up and take a look." It is useless to say more now. Only by looking for yourself can you know what is going on.
Liang Huanqing nodded and followed them up.
Standing on the Gate of Supreme Harmony, Liang Huanqing understood why Liang Ji was in such a hurry to come to her. She calmed down, put one hand on the city wall, and said to the group of people behind Qi Jingyang: "You, you
Are you trying to take advantage of the chaos to force me into the palace!"
As she said that, she slapped her hand hard on the city wall, with such a majestic look that everyone couldn't help but look at her.
When Wei Shen, Zhao Zhao and the imperial guards who were guarding outside the Taihe Gate saw Liang Huanqing, they all clasped their fists and shouted: "See the Crown Princess!"
His voice increased Liang Huanqing's momentum to a certain extent. Seeing this, Rong Fu hurriedly turned back and looked at Kong Yan beside the carriage.
