Chapter 178: Going out of the palace and conspiracy
Chapter 178: Leaving the palace for a conspiracy
"After what happened last time, our place was so stupid, but it was even more deserted than before." Concubine Zhou sighed slowly and whispered. After hearing this, Wan Zhen'er couldn't help but feel a little sad,
Slowly she sat up with support and whispered to Concubine Zhou: "Sister, this is not a bad thing. With fewer people around, the safety of His Royal Highness can be more guaranteed, don't you think?"
"That's true. When that incident happened, my sister was worried all night long. Huh, I never thought that there would be such a person, even my own..." Concubine Zhou whispered bitterly, but
After seeing the last part of the words, Wan Zhen'er shook her head slightly, she could only swallow it back angrily. She smiled covertly and said: "Haha, look at sister's mouth, hey, sister, why are you up? These days, your body has been
But it’s not healed yet, just rest more.”
Wan Zhen'er chuckled and explained: "Thank you sister for your concern. In fact, the remaining poison has been cleared a few days ago. It's just that my body is not as agile as usual, so I have to lie down for a few more days. I have been here a lot these two days."
It's much better to walk around the house. If my sister hadn't been taking a lunch break when she came, I would have gotten up to greet her."
"That's good. God bless you at last. Sister, you really need to get better soon. This place is really not going to be able to survive without you. It's almost in chaos these days. Do you understand?" Concubine Zhou said with a face.
She couldn't help but have a sweet smile on her face, and she held Wan Zhen'er's hand and said.
"I understand, sister, don't worry. I understand, my little sister will take over." Wan Zhen'er nodded vigorously in agreement, and at this moment, a young eunuch rushed over and crawled over.
Without even bothering to wipe the sweat off his face, he prostrated himself in front of the house and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Lord Long Live has a message coming. Please go and receive it."
"Long live the Lord's purpose?!" After hearing these words, Concubine Zhou couldn't help but turn pale, and she couldn't help but look at Wan Zhen'er beside her with some panic. Wan Zhen'er slowly stood up and faced the man.
The young eunuch shouted in a low voice: "What is the decree of Lord Long Live? Which father-in-law was sent to announce the decree? Who are the people who came?"
"Going back to Wan Si Dian (Si Dian, the female official's name), I don't know what the purpose is, but what I'm sending is Eunuch Wu, who often comes to our place to visit the Crown Prince. He is here with Eunuch Wu, and there are
There are better imperial guards. By the way, Eunuch Wu is in a good mood and said he is here to bring the good news to His Highness the Crown Prince and the Empress."
After hearing this, Concubine Zhou's expression became more and more confused, but Wan Zhen'er felt relieved. Since it was Eunuch Wu and he said it was good news, it would definitely not be a bad thing. "Sister, let's go quickly, don't let it go."
Eunuch Wu is impatient."
"Okay, let's go over there." Concubine Zhou nodded, letting the young eunuch lead the way, and rushed towards the front hall of the Taiyi Palace together with Wan Zhen'er...

"Prince, can the prince go to the Xuan Mansion to see the Emperor?" Concubine Zhou couldn't help but cover her hand in front of her mouth, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she watched the smiling Eunuch Wu hand over the imperial edict to the patient who was holding on to his sick body.
Wan Zhen'er beside her couldn't help but asked again in disbelief.
"Back to the empress, it is indeed the case. However, this matter must not be delayed in case the emperor's mind changes. Therefore, the empress dowager specially sent an old slave to announce the decree. I hope the empress will prepare quickly." Eunuch Wu said with joy on his face.
Still, but there is also a lot of anxiety.
Hearing these words, Concubine Zhou suddenly realized. "What my father-in-law said is true, but what preparations are needed for this?"
"Empress, the emperor's will is unpredictable. Don't prepare anything. Just ask someone to pick up some clothes. As long as you leave Beijing, you can think of anything else." Although Wan Zhen'er has not recovered from her illness, it has not affected her.
Her thinking ability, since Eunuch Wu said these words, it must mean that the emperor issued the decree out of desperation, or extremely reluctantly, so the sooner she leaves this place of right and wrong, the better, because
No one can guarantee that something will happen if you regret it today.
"But..." Concubine Zhou was still hesitant after hearing Wan Zhen'er, but Eunuch Wu, who knew how powerful he was, quickly said: "My queen, you'd better listen to Wan Nvguan and take the prince out of the capital as soon as possible. If it's too late, you must
If something unexpected happens, when the time comes, it will be too late to leave."
Wan Zhen'er also nodded and said to Concubine Zhou who was a little confused and confused: "That's right, Your Majesty, please take the Prince and leave with Eunuch Wu now. Don't think about anything else. The Empress Dowager must have already done it."
Just make arrangements."
"Okay, but I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with my schedule. Sister Zhen'er, can you come with me?" Concubine Zhou nodded, but her eyes with a hint of expectancy fell on Wan Zhen'er again.
On the body.
Wan Zhen'er wanted to refuse, after all, there must be someone in the Taiyuan who stayed to clean up the mess, but at this moment, Zhu Qizhen's face flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but nodded in a strange way.
Seeing that Wan Zhen'er did not refuse, Concubine Zhou was obviously relieved. "That's great, let's go now..."
"My Lady, please don't be anxious. Someone, hurry up and invite His Royal Highness to come over. Everyone else is waiting, perform their duties, don't talk nonsense, and do your thing with peace of mind, do you understand?!" Wan Zhen'er patted the person.
Concubine Zhou raised her eyebrows and gave a few simple instructions on the back of her hand. The people who were originally at a loss started to move quickly as if a switch had been pressed.
When Eunuch Wu next to him saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile with appreciation and relief, and nodded slightly. He was indeed someone whom the Empress Dowager admired and valued. Just for this decision, and for her in such a period of time.
, keeping the entire Taiyuan in order, and everyone respects him, which shows his ability and talent.
For such a woman, no wonder the Empress Dowager gave her the position of Chief Minister when she was only nineteen years old. Not only because she was the Empress Dowager's confidant, but also because she knew that although the rank of a female official was not high, there were more than a thousand maids in the palace.
Being able to stand out as a girl, Wan Zhen'er can be considered a leader.
In a short time, Crown Prince Zhu Jianshen was carried over. Concubine Zhou, Wan Zhen'er, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and four or five confidant maids and eunuchs, led by Eunuch Wu and the guards, hurried towards the Forbidden City.
Go for laymen.
Although Eunuch Wu was old, his legs and feet were still nimble. He led the group through the carved galleries and painted buildings, crossed the long path of the ancient pavilion, and arrived at the Xihua Gate. He was just following the order, and none of the imperial guards guarding the gate were there.
Dare to stop, someone opened the palace door.
With the efforts of those forbidden soldiers, the closed Xihua Gate slowly opened, and a bright sunlight swept away the dust that was shaken and raised by the opening of the Xihua Gate that had been closed all year round.
The dancing spots of light are as bright as the sparks ignited by the sun.
Standing in the dark doorway, Wan Zhen'er couldn't help but squint her bright eyes when she saw this scene, and there was an urge to shout for joy in her heart. That was light, which belonged to the deep and dark, buried
The splendor outside the Forbidden City with countless corpses represents that for more than ten years, we can once again breathe the freshness without a trace of conspiracy and intrigue.

"Long live Lord, this, this is really true, how can the Empress Dowager be so partial?" Xing'an said with regret on his face. Before he finished speaking, he saw Wang Cheng glare at him, and then looked at Zhu Qiyu's gloomy face.
With his face almost dripping with tears, Xing'an quickly closed his mouth dejectedly and moved back to his position angrily.
In this side pavilion, apart from Zhu Qiyu, there are a group of his most trusted eunuchs. Today, the expressions of Wang Wen and others really disappointed him to the extreme. From the beginning, they did not stand up to speak for themselves.
And then the arrival of the Empress Dowager made them fear like tigers.
Under such a situation, Zhu Qiyu's heart felt desolate. Yes, none of the civil and military officials were willing to obey the will of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. They stood against him, but they kept saying that he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
"They make me really sad. It chills my heart..." Zhu Qiyu leaned tiredly on the couch. Although the climate in early autumn was still as hot as summer, Zhu Qiyu sat on the couch covered with a thin blanket.
But he always felt a bone-deep chill creeping into his body.
"Long live my lord, what the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager did is really beyond everyone's expectations. It's not that Mr. Wangge and the others don't want to stand up, but they understand that the matter has reached this point and there is really no way to stop it." The youngest confidant
The eunuch Wang Qin carefully answered the sentence.
"Then what do you mean, they should be wise enough to protect themselves? So, where do you put the trust and promotion I have given them in the past?" After hearing that there were others speaking for Wang Wen and others, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but feel angry.
Come to think of it, if it weren't for the fact that these eunuchs were the most caring to him, and many of them were even his companions who grew up with him, Zhu Qiyu would have dumped them with a cup of tea.
"Long live my lord, of course I don't mean this, but even if the elders of Wang Ge and others contradict the Queen Mother, it will not help. Now, what we have to do is not to think about what has happened, but to think about it again.
Let’s see if other methods can relieve the troubles in Long Live Lord’s heart.” Wang Qin did not give in, but instead smiled sinisterly and whispered.
Seeing Zhang Yong's expression, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but stop the anger in his heart. He collected his thoughts and asked, "What's your idea, Banban?"
"Your Majesty, the distance between the capital and Xuanfu is thousands of miles. No one can say what will happen on the way..." The sinister look on Wang Qin's face made the wrinkles on his face look like mottled and twisted old trees.
The skin is generally ferocious.
"..." The cicada outside the pavilion was still chirping feebly. Everyone looked at Wang Qin with a ferocious expression, but there was no admiration or admiration. Some just had endless contempt.
"You..." Zhang Yong, as the leader of the group of eunuchs who had been with Zhu Qiyu since childhood, choked Wang Qin's words and almost cursed him in front of Zhu Qiyu.
