According to the drawings of the Yangxin Hall given by Su Shizong, Su Yin quickly jumped to the direction of the bed in the main hall, gently pried up a brick with a shovel, and pushed aside the grass blades below, revealing the dimly lit hall.
At this moment, a figure was faintly lying on the bed in the main hall. Because the curtain of the bed was lowered, it could not be seen clearly. Only the figure could be seen clearly, wearing a gold silk nightgown, lying quietly without moving.
On one side of the bed, there were concubines and nobles kneeling on the floor. Some of them lowered their heads and shed tears, some were silent, and some were observing their words. The leader, sitting on a chair on the edge of the bed, was a woman wearing a phoenix crown and a majestic expression.
Sitting on the chair opposite her was a woman of the same age wearing a yellow embroidered robe with peonies blooming on it, but the latter was much more delicate than the former.
Although he has not seen the nobles in the palace, Su Yin guessed that the one wearing the phoenix crown must be the queen, and the woman wearing the yellow brocade robe with blooming peonies embroidered on it must be Yuan Wenzhi's mother, Concubine Jing.
The two of them were sitting on the armchair next to the bed, talking.
What reached my ears was the voice of the woman with the phoenix crown, "Now that His Majesty is being assassinated, I will be by your side. I think it is best for Concubine Jing to go back."
The woman opposite smiled and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? I have been by your Majesty's side in recent days. Now that His Majesty is seriously injured and unconscious, it stands to reason that I should be by your side so that His Majesty can feel at ease."
Queen Dong suddenly smiled coldly, "You have always been by His Majesty's side, so isn't it your fault that he was assassinated today?"
"Sister, don't forget, before the saint fell into coma, he specifically ordered me not to be involved in this matter. To hold me to account is tantamount to defying the decree and disrespectful." The woman smiled faintly, put a pair of catkins between her knees, and her red nails were extremely sharp.
Mrs. Dong's face was slightly cold, "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. As long as I am in this palace, I will not be able to help you do anything wrong! What? Can't you wait any longer? You have been waiting for twenty years but you are anxious for this moment.
Already?"
The concubines below immediately lowered their heads. Could the Queen's words mean that the emperor's assassination was instigated by Concubine Jing and that she was eager to let the eldest prince ascend the throne? How could they dare to hear such words?
Su Ling frowned. It seemed that Queen Dong was guarding the inner palace, and Concubine Jing and her family did not dare to do anything blatantly.
She put the tiles in place and was about to turn around when she heard a loud shout from below, "Who is it!"
Turning around, he saw the guards below rushing towards the Yangxin Hall, with blazing torches approaching towards him.
Oops.
When someone discovered him, Su Yin immediately turned around, jumped down from behind in a few leaps, his feet touching the ground as light as a swallow, then tightened his belt, lifted up his cloak and shouted, "Who is it!"
Behind him, the guards were running over quickly with torches in hand. When they saw Su Yin, they immediately clasped their fists and said, "Sir!"
"Don't chase me yet!" Su Yin pointed forward and shouted angrily, and the guard immediately ran after him.
At this time, a team of people followed by Yang Xiaotian also passed by Su Yin. She hesitated slightly and pulled Yang Xiaotian out of the team, "You are a sharp-eyed person, just stay guard outside this Yangxin Palace. Once the Queen
When you come out of the temple, blow this whistle to notify me."
Su Yin took out the whistle from his arms, and Yang Xiaotian took it in astonishment. What is this object?
"Remember, keep an eye on Yangxin Hall." Su Yin said and ran away in the direction of Cuixuan Pavilion. If Concubine Jing's men really planned to take action today, they probably wouldn't let Yuan Wenxuan go.
And what could be better than Yuan Wenxuan's accident to drive away the Queen.
There are many different factions in the imperial city of Jinling. Concubine Jing and Shangshu Sheng currently have the courage to act so recklessly because of the fact that the crown prince is in the hands of Yuan Wenzhi, but they have too many scruples to do so openly.
