The guard said politely: "I don't dare, but now Concubine Xue is in charge of the harem. If the empress really wants to leave, then I will ask Concubine Xue for instructions. Only if Concubine Xue agrees, I can let you out."
"Please ask Concubine Xue for instructions?" The queen was so angry that stars were popping up in her eyes, "No need! She is such a charming girl, why should I ask her for instructions when I leave the palace? Is she worthy?"
As she said this, she coldly rolled her sleeves and turned around, "When a tiger falls and is bullied by a dog, you guys will wait for me. When the day comes when I regain control of the harem, you will be the first to be beheaded by me!"
Then, she turned around and walked into Ronghua Palace again.
The guards were shocked when they heard this.
Everyone's faces were green and black. Although the queen has lost her phoenix seal now, she still has two princes and a princess.
If she turns over one day, it's not something to be trifled with.
But they didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order or let the queen out.
-
In a dilapidated house in the east of the city.
At this time, Chu Tianyu looked at the dilapidated house, old furniture, and yard full of dead branches with a depressed look on his face.
He looked at Yuan Zhen and said: "Sir, you asked me to wait for the opportunity last time, but I waited for so many days and didn't get any chance. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't even be able to live in this shabby house!
"
Yuan Zhen stroked the beard on his chin and said calmly: "First Prince, don't be anxious, let me do the math for you."
With that said, Yuan Zhen started to tell fortunes by pinching his fingers.
Chu Tianyu was shocked and said: "Sir, can you tell fortunes?"
Yuan Zhen said: "I know a little bit about Qimen Dunjia, Five Elements, fortune telling and calligraphy. First prince, I will count with my fingers and I will find that your chance is today."
"What? My chance is today, why?" Chu Tianyu couldn't believe it.
"The secret must not be leaked." Old God Yuan Zhen frowned on the ground.
Seeing Yuan Zhen's mysterious appearance, Chu Tianyu admired him even more!
He didn't expect Yuan Zhen to know so much. If he had acquired this talent earlier, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
"First Prince, it's not good, the Emperor is seriously ill!" At this time, the voice of a guard came from outside.
Chu Tianyu was shocked when he heard this, "What did you say? Your Majesty, he is seriously ill? Is this true or false?"
The guard nodded, "This is absolutely true. I have been squatting at the gate of the palace for several days, and today I finally found out that the emperor is seriously ill, and that he may die at any time. When the other princes heard the news, they all rushed there anxiously.
After entering the palace, even Prince Li and his wife brought medicine boxes into the palace!"
Chu Tianyu's eyes widened with excitement, and he trembled: "I didn't expect that just a few days later, this old guy got seriously ill. Sir, is this retribution for devaluing me as a commoner? He doesn't care about family ties, and puts his own
My son was cornered, so God wants to take his life to retaliate against him?"
Seeing Chu Tianyu's crazy look, Yuan Zhen knew that he no longer had fatherly love for Emperor Hongyuan, but only hatred.
He said: "My eldest prince, the emperor is seriously ill, but the successor has not been decided yet, and I don't know if he has made a will. You are not in the palace now, and all this will be very detrimental to you. If the emperor passes the throne to other princes,
, then you will never be able to turn over again!"
"Yes, sir, you are right! I am the eldest son, and I am the most qualified to inherit the throne. Those princes are not worthy. This throne is mine. I want to enter the palace, and I want to ask that old man to pass the throne to me!
Chu Tianyu said angrily.
At this point, his face suddenly fell, "But sir, my father won't let me enter the palace. I don't even have a chance to get close to him, so how can I force him to enter the palace?"
Yuan Zhen thought for a moment and said: "First Prince, there is another person who can help you."
"Who?" Chu Tianyu said excitedly.
"Empress," Yuan Zhen said.
"Tch, you're talking about my mother?" Chu Tianyu said disdainfully, "She can't protect herself. If she loses the Phoenix Seal, can she help me?"
"Although the empress has lost her phoenix seal, she is still the queen. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, she is the master of the harem. It will be a piece of cake for her to get you into the palace. As long as you can enter the palace, you will have a chance to get close to the emperor. As long as you can
If you get close to the emperor, you will have a chance to succeed." Yuan Zhen said.
Chu Tianyu suddenly realized, "Yes, although my mother has lost the Phoenix Seal, she is still the queen. Once my father is seriously ill, everyone in the palace must listen to her. With my mother's help, things will be easier to handle! I want to
Force that old guy to write a will and ask him to pass the throne to me!"
"Yes, but the eldest prince must enter the palace as soon as possible. Now everyone is eyeing the throne and waiting for action at any time. If you arrive late, I'm afraid the throne will become someone else's!" Yuan Zhen said.
Yuan Zhen said: "First Prince, I can't go yet. I have to look for masters for you outside. When I find martial arts masters, I will bring them to support you."
Chu Tianyu squeezed Yuan Zhen's hand gratefully, "Okay, sir, you are so kind to me! Don't worry, when things are done, I will definitely make you prime minister!"
"Thank you, eldest prince!" Yuan Zhen said with cupped hands.
Then, Chu Tianyu handed Chu Yujin over to the care of his servants.
After he said goodbye to Yuan Zhen, he took the dozen or so guards and walked toward the palace aggressively.
Seeing Chu Tianyu's back, Yuan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that his undercover work is almost over!
-
Ronghua Palace.
The queen has been sitting in her bedroom sulking since she was stopped by the imperial guards.
Seeing this, the palace maid Zilan hurriedly walked over to comfort her, "Mother, do you want some tea? This is the Junshan Silver Needle brewed by my slave."
The queen glanced at the tea dejectedly and waved her hand in disgust, "I don't want it. Just take the tea away and don't bother me."
When Zilan saw this, she had to take the tea back and didn't dare to speak anymore.
At this time, Xiao Liuzi came in eagerly again, "Mother, the eldest prince sent someone to say that he wants to see you."
"Tianyu? What is he doing with me at this time?" The queen looked surprised.
Xiao Liuzi said: "The eldest prince said that he heard that the emperor was seriously ill and had been unconscious. He was very worried and wanted to enter the palace to visit the emperor. But he couldn't come in at all, so he asked someone to beg the empress, hoping that the empress could
Let him come in and take care of the emperor to fulfill his filial piety."
"But the emperor has explicitly prohibited Tianyu from entering the palace again. What's more, I can't even get out of the palace. How can I get him into the palace?" the queen said angrily.
Xiao Liuzi said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Your Majesty is the master of the harem, the Emperor's first wife, and has given birth to three children for the Emperor. Who dares to stop you? Besides, the Emperor is in danger now, and as the Empress, even more
You should stay with the emperor. If your Majesty is not here and Concubine Xue Guifei and others take the lead, what will you do then?"
