554. Chapter 554 The cold palace is no longer cold 2
He uses his salary of several taels a year to support his family. He is the only support for his elderly mother. If something happens to him, her mother will definitely be very sad. Thinking about it this way, it is a lot more for the mother who lost the prince.
Feeling pity for her, she decided to go and deliver something to the lady in person later, and express a few words of comfort along the way.
Zhan Meixiang closed her eyes and enjoyed the afternoon sun shining warmly on her body. A tall shadow blocked all her light sources. Zhan Meixiang thought that Zi'er was leaving and returning, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Zhong Zhan.
in front of yourself.
Since Dongfang Che passed away, Zhan Meixiang has not seen Zhong for a long time. In fact, when she saw him before, she only glanced at him in a daze, because he always came and went without a trace, just like now.
Zhan Meixiang seemed a little surprised by Zhong's arrival. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Zhong, who had been waiting by the emperor's side, looked much haggard, but his eyes were still bright. He nodded, "I have something to remind the queen. The queen also heard just now that the two princes in the palace conspired to kill the little girl.
Prince, please ensure the safety of yourself and the prince."
Zhan Meixiang was grateful, but then she felt something was wrong. Why would Zhong remind her of this for no reason? She looked at Zhong and asked, "Why did you come to remind me of this?"
It stands to reason that he, the emperor's secret guard, does not need to remind him of such things. Could it be that Zhong was ordered by someone? But Zhong has always been loyal to Dongfang Che, and Dongfang Che has passed away now.
The confusion of unclear thoughts made Zhan Meixiang feel a little strange, but she couldn't say anything at once. She just felt a little strange.
"Before the emperor passed away, he ordered me to protect the safety of the empress. If anything happens, I will naturally inform the empress." Zhong stood on the same spot, with his back straight when he said this.
In fact, he was helpless. When the emperor came back to life, he told the emperor about the prince. The emperor did not first ask which little prince died, nor which two princes killed his siblings.
Let yourself remind the queen to be careful and safe. Well, the queen is the most important person to the emperor.
So although Zhong is calm on the surface, for a person who has rarely told lies, only he knows the turmoil in his heart.
Fortunately, Zhan Meixiang did not continue to dwell on this topic, but asked about the situation at the court. After all, most of the secret guards sent by the shadows were deployed back to protect Leng Palace, and they were definitely not as thorough as Zhong about the affairs at the court.
She didn't mince words and asked directly: "How is the situation in the court now?"
Zhong sighed secretly, knowing that Zhan Meixiang would not care about the reason for his coming for the time being, so he answered everything Zhan Meixiang asked.
"After the two princes conspired to kill the younger prince, they tried their best to win over the ministers in the court in an attempt to strengthen themselves. Everyone in the court was in danger and did not know which of the three factions they should belong to."
"Three factions? What three factions are there?" Zhan Meixiang continued to ask.
"The two princes each formed a faction. The remaining faction is naturally from the prince's side. They feel that they should still believe in the emperor's vision and insist that the prince be the emperor."
