Concubine Cao, who had closed her eyes and fell asleep, suddenly felt heart palpitations and suddenly sat up from the bed.
The palace servant who was on duty at night was awakened and hurriedly got up and went to the bed: "I will wait for the queen to wake up at night."
Concubine Cao's heart was beating fast, and there were some beads of sweat on her forehead: "No need to wait, I don't need to get up at night. I was sleeping well, and suddenly I woke up. What is this sign?"
It was as if there was some warning that woke her up from her deep sleep.
Seeing that Concubine Cao's face was not good, the palace servants quickly comforted her in a low voice: "It's late at night and the palace is peaceful. What could have happened? Don't panic, Madam."
Concubine Cao closed her eyes and continued to lie down while being served by the palace servants.
But for some reason, the more I wanted to sleep, the more I couldn't fall asleep. There seemed to be a string in my head that was stretched tightly, as if it could be broken at any time. My heart beat fast and slow.
Concubine Cao couldn't bear it anymore and opened her eyes again: "Let someone come out of Ganquan Palace to see if anything happened in the palace."
The palace maid had no choice but to retreat.
Concubine Cao sat up on the bed, her mind numb with thoughts. After waiting for about two sticks of incense, she saw the palace servants coming in with panic.
Concubine Cao's heart skipped a beat again: "What's wrong?"
The palace man quickly replied: "I sent people to go around all the queen's palaces. When I got outside Luomei Palace, I was kicked back before I even got close."
Luomei Palace?
Yu beauty!
Concubine Cao's eyelids twitched and she looked at the palace people: "Pass this imperial edict to everyone in Ganquan Palace to get up. See if there are many people in the palace."
The palace attendants retreated again.
Concubine Cao Guifei has been in charge of the harem for more than ten years. When something bad happened, she immediately checked her bedroom. After this inspection, she immediately found that there was one missing servant.
This chamberlain, whose surname was Fei, worked as an errand in Ganquan Palace and was trusted by Concubine Cao.
"This evening, someone saw Eunuch Fei leaving Ganquan Palace, and seemed to be heading towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Since then, he has not been seen again."
The palace servant's reply made Concubine Cao increasingly panicked.
All kinds of unusual signs indicate that something big happened in the harem. Emperor Long'an didn't even know about her as a noble concubine, so he had Luomei Palace sealed off...
Concubine Cao's uneasy premonition became more and more intense. When the palace officials came back to report that several guards of the King of Han were found hiding behind a rockery, Concubine Cao's mind became dizzy and she was shaken.
The guards were quickly brought into Ganquan Palace.
Concubine Cao's eyes were about to burst into flames, and she glared at the leading guard angrily: "I want to ask you, where has King Han gone? Why do you guys stay in the palace all the time?"
Several of the guards of the King of Han were also unlucky. Of course they all knew that the King of Han and Yu Mei were secretly having fun. On weekdays, they would wait for an hour or two outside Luomei Palace, waiting for their master to come out after enjoying themselves. Tonight, the King of Han kept waiting
They didn't come out, so they waited impatiently, but they didn't dare to move around randomly.
They waited until midnight. Instead of waiting for the King of Han, they did wait for Concubine Cao to question her sharply.
The guards all knelt down, no one dared to say a word.
Concubine Cao's long nails dug into her palms, and her voice became colder and sterner: "It's now here, and you are still covering up for the master. Tell me quickly, where has the King of Han gone? If you don't say anything, I will kill you."
skin!"
The guard could not withstand Concubine Cao's intimidation and asked angrily. He gritted his teeth and opened his mouth: "Reply to the empress. If I dare to reply to the empress, His Highness the King of Han... will go to Luomei Palace."
Boom boom boom!
Concubine Cao's head was filled with lightning and thunder, and she almost fainted on the spot.
No one knows the virtues of her son better than Concubine Cao. She has loved to hang out with the palace people since she was a child. After she got married and moved into the prince's mansion, she became more and more daring because of no one to control her. She often flirted with officials' families.
A dignified prince, if he doesn't want a beautiful woman, he just wants a familiar wife. Cao Guifei also warned the King of Han several times in private. The King of Han deserved it in person, turned around and left the palace, and still seduced her.
Concubine Cao couldn't control her son's bad behavior, so she simply left it alone. There was no harm done to her, and most of those who were seduced by the King of Han were willing to do so. No big fuss was made.
I never imagined that the King of Han was so bold that he reached out to the harem.
It is a capital crime to mess with the harem!
Yu Meiren, that bitch!
No wonder the other concubines were dull and dull, but that bitch looked rosy and more beautiful all day long. The king of Han was so implicated that even cutting her to pieces could not quell the anger in his heart.
No matter how angry or resentful, it is of no use now. The most important thing is to save her son first. Concubine Cao took a few deep breaths and stood up tremblingly: "Come here, hold the palace lantern. I want to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to meet the Holy Spirit!"
"
…
The harem, which has always been peaceful, is destined to be unstable tonight.
Concubine Cao quickly went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with the support of two palace attendants.
The night fell heavily, shrouding the palace city. The towering palaces looked like huge monsters, exuding a calm and oppressive atmosphere.
Concubine Cao and her party hurriedly arrived outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony and were naturally stopped.
"My Lady, please stay." Dozens of imperial guards guarding the palace blocked Concubine Cao's path: "It's past three o'clock, and the Emperor has already gone to bed. If you want to do something for me, please come back tomorrow morning.
"
How could Emperor Long'an sleep peacefully?
Concubine Cao gritted her teeth and said: "I have very important matters in this palace and I must see the emperor. You all get out of the way!"
"Trespassing to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and disturbing the Emperor is a capital offense!" The guards in royal robes did not give in because they were seeing Concubine Cao. The leading guard held the handle of the knife and said in a cold voice: "My Lady, please come back!"
Dozens of Jinyi guards held the hilts of their knives with their hands, threatening to draw their knives if they advanced further!
Concubine Cao sneered, not afraid at all: "I want to see who dares to use the knife on me!"
He didn't care and kept walking forward.
The royal guards hesitated immediately.
It's okay to hold the handle of the knife to scare Concubine Cao. You can't really draw the sword at Concubine Cao! But if Concubine Cao is allowed to enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony like this, they will be guilty of the death penalty of neglecting their duties.
After a brief hesitation, the Jinyi guards quickly made up their mind and surrounded Cao Guifei again. With their hands holding the handles of the knives, they each pulled out their long gleaming knives.
As the emperor's personal guards, they only obey the emperor's orders. Emperor Long'an decreed that no one is allowed to enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony tonight. It is a death penalty for them to let Concubine Cao in!
Dozens of sharp long knives were pointed at him, one of which was only a few inches away from Concubine Cao. If he took two steps forward, he would hit the sharp blade.
Concubine Cao is not worried about losing her mind, so how can she break through?
"Your Majesty, please come back!" All the emperor's personal guards shouted together to "persuad" Concubine Cao to leave.
Concubine Cao looked in the direction of the emperor's bedroom and almost broke her silver teeth, so she had to turn around with hatred.
