Xu Ying was keen and attentive, and picked up a hint of unusual meaning from Queen Su's unusual behavior.
Zhao Xiyan finished the last bite of steamed buns and drank the last sip of cold water. Then she turned to look at Xu Ying, who was full of worry: "I already know about this, don't worry."
In the mourning hall, no more words could be said.
Not to mention that the possibility of Murong Yan being pregnant is very small. Even if Murong Yan is pregnant, there is a half chance that the child will be a daughter.
Murong Yan really gave birth to a posthumous son, an ignorant baby who would take more than ten years to grow up. Can Emperor Yongming survive until his grandson grows up? In this precarious Jin Dynasty, there is still time to wait.
How long?
Xu Ying and Zhao Xiyan looked at each other for a moment.
Zhao Xiyan's expression was calm and her eyes were steady. Xu Ying's panic quickly subsided and she nodded lightly.
After dark, all the kneeling souls can go to the wing to rest. There are only a few people left in the huge mourning hall. A gust of wind blows into the mourning hall, and the candles flicker.
Queen Su entered the mourning hall with the support of palace attendants.
Zhao Xiyan straightened her back, her eyes were cold and stern, and she quickly glanced around: "There are rebels who are plotting to invade the palace. Please wake everyone up immediately and go to the mourning hall."
I don't know how long I slept when a scream and exclamation suddenly came from my ears.
Zhao Xiyan quickly went to Queen Su's bedroom.
At least at this moment, Queen Su sincerely wants to support Xu Jing as the crown prince.
"Murong's side concubine killed His Highness the Crown Prince because of her own selfish motives. The Queen will never bypass her, nor will she spare the Murong family."
Why is there such strange movement in the palace?
"Shut up!" Zhao Xiyan suddenly raised her voice: "Quiet!"
A handsome and serious man's face flashed through his mind.
The prince had only been dead for three days, and he had not yet been buried, and his body was still cold. Who rose up in rebellion at this time and stormed the palace gate?
In the past three days, Queen Su cried countless times. She thought her tears were almost dry.
Zhao Xiyan took a deep breath: "Don't panic yet. Let's go find the Queen first."
Zhao Xiyan walked quickly through the corridor. In the short distance, she encountered several waves of palace people running away in panic, and several imperial wives heard something was wrong, and pushed the door open in panic and fear, "What's wrong?"
Questions like "What the hell is going on?" were heard all the time.
Let’s talk about what happens next.
The cry was interrupted.
There was a cry in Yuhan's voice: "No! At this time, I don't know who is the good guy in the palace and who is the bad guy. What will the young lady do if she encounters a bad guy when she rushes out like this? I will close the door immediately and hide in the house first."
Haitang wiped her eyes with her sleeves and followed closely behind her master.
Zhao Xiyan comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, follow me."
People's hearts are subtle and fickle. No one can tell whether it will change in the future.
Queen Su opened her mouth, then closed it helplessly, looking at Mushroom Zi beside her.
Queen Su looked at Zhao Xiyan's figure, and a wave of warmth surged through her heart.
Before he could finish his words, another burst of shrill screams could be heard faintly.
…
Zhao Xiyan did not stand up to salute, but still knelt in front of the memorial tablet.
Queen Su looked haggard, her eyes were red and swollen, and she could not speak.
Zhao Xiyan was in a heavy heart. She put her arms around Queen Su's shoulders and said softly: "I know your Majesty is in great pain. If you want to cry, please lean on me. Don't hold it back."
Zhao Xiyan felt a chill in her heart, her whole body felt chilly, and her hands suddenly became wet with cold sweat.
Zhao Xiyan looked at Empress Su: "How to deal with Murong's side concubine is all the mother's business. The mother-in-law explained specifically, and the niece-in-law is very grateful and moved."
If Murong Yan is really pregnant and gives birth to the crown prince's posthumous son, will Queen Su still support Xu Jing as the crown prince? Even if Xu Jing is young, powerful and famous, how can Queen Su not favor her own biological emperor?
Sun?
Zhao Xiyan stayed with Queen Su in the mourning hall for half the night, and it was not until the fourth watch that Queen Su got up and went back to the dormitory.
Zhao Xiyan suddenly woke up and sat up from the bed: "What happened?"
Zhao Xiyan was young and had good physical strength, but after holding on for three days, she couldn't bear it anymore. She went to an empty room and fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.
Queen Su was heartbroken when she heard this, and reached out to shake Zhao Xiyan's hand.
Murong Shen!
It must be him!
"Miss!" In extreme shock and fear, Yuhan called out her old title: "Who is forcing the palace? What should we do if they come to the palace?"
The master and servant shuddered at the same time, looked at each other, and then quickly rushed off the bed and opened the door.
As soon as he opened the door, a burst of bloody smell rushed into his breath. In the distance, there was a burst of fire, as well as the exchange of swords and guns, and the sound of screams and roars of killing.
Queen Su slowly stepped forward. As a mother, it was inconvenient for her to kneel down and worship her son. The palace attendant brought a futon, and Queen Su sat down on the soft futon and looked at the palace attendant again.
Hearing Zhao Xiyan's heart-warming words, tears suddenly burst out uncontrollably.
"Please relax, my wife, my niece-in-law is not overthinking it. The most important thing right now is to take care of the funeral affairs of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Xiyan did not say anything to comfort her. After Empress Su had cried for a while and her mood gradually calmed down, she took a handkerchief and wiped Empress Su's tears.
When she entered the palace, she only brought hostas and begonias with her.
Muzhi immediately spoke on behalf of her master: "Your Majesty, the Queen wanted to execute Murong's concubine today. However, Murong's concubine shouted that she might be pregnant, and the empress could not do it for a while, so she had Murong's concubine sent back to heaven.
Prison, let her live a little longer."
In panic and helplessness, everyone naturally obeyed Zhao Xiyan's order and dispersed to call for people.
Zhao Xiyan did not go against Queen Su's kindness and sat on the futon.
The hosta was sleeping on the footrest, rubbed his eyes, sat up, and yawned loudly: "Slave, please go out and take a look."
"If a gangster breaks into the East Palace, it will be useless to hide anywhere." When things come to a close, it is useless to be afraid. Zhao Xiyan is a person who has experienced troubled times. Although she is frightened in her heart, she quickly calms down on her face.
Looking in the direction, it is right at the palace gate.
If there are more words, Mushroom Zi can't talk nonsense.
Zhao Xiyan pushed the door open, glanced quickly, and shouted loudly: "Begonia."
Haitang rushed over with her hair disheveled and her eyes full of panic: "Miss, what's going on outside? Why is there fire over there?"
"Concubine, please relax. Even if Concubine Murong is really pregnant, she will be killed immediately after she gives birth to a child."
The palace attendant immediately brought another futon over. Queen Su stretched out her hand and tugged on Zhao Xiyan's sleeves, signaling Zhao Xiyan to sit down as well.
Queen Su's door also opened.
Queen Su's eyes were full of fear, and she grabbed Zhao Xiyan's hand tightly. She tried her best, but couldn't squeeze out a single word.
Muzhi trembled and opened her mouth: "Prince Princess, who is plotting rebellion?"
What kind of treacherous traitor is forcing the palace to rebel!
