Concubine Hu was very worried when she heard that the emperor was injured and asked, "Should we ask the imperial doctor to see him?"
Mu Rugong said: "Your Majesty did not invite you. He is in a state of anxiety right now and loses his temper even after saying a few words. Just now, the ministers could not give any good advice and they have all been punished by kneeling down. Hey, my dear, please go back.
But you can't let the emperor know what I told you. Otherwise, I will also be punished."
Concubine Hu said: "Well, my dear father-in-law, look at the emperor. Let's coax him to drink this ginseng soup. I... I can't help you at all. I just hope that the prince is safe."
"Mom, hurry up!" Eunuch Mu Ru heard the movement in the imperial study room. He was so frightened that he quickly brought ginseng soup to send him off.
Concubine Hu glanced at the door of the Imperial Study Room worriedly, and a minister walked out. She recognized him as Taifu Wei. Taifu Wei's steps were sloppy and his face was sad. It seemed that the prince's condition was really serious.
After Concubine Hu left, she felt at a loss. She didn't expect that the dream of the Crown Princess had really come true. What should we do? We definitely couldn't let her know. It would cost her life.
But Princess Huai has to find her tomorrow. Should she tell Princess Huai? Princess Huai can't hold her tongue. If she informs the Crown Princess, the consequences will be serious.
Concubine Hu was just worried about Yu Wenhao at first, but after returning and thinking deeply, she remembered the words of the old ministers from the previous dynasty, and she became more and more afraid. If something happened to the prince, and the emperor doted on her so much, she was afraid that the little old ten would become a scandal.
tip.
Although he is young, the emperor is still young, and Xiao Lao Shi and his grandson are about the same age. She is really afraid of getting involved in such a whirlpool. She hopes that Xiao Lao Shi will grow up under the care of her brothers.
, instead of becoming an enemy with the grandson, ugh, bah bah bah, what are you thinking? The prince will be fine.
Concubine Hu returned to the palace, but she still couldn't help but think about it. She was always uneasy, so she thought of the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine was now the master of the harem and a person with ideas. After thinking about it, she went to take advantage of it.
I took a dark trip to the imperial concubine's palace.
The imperial concubine had just taken the anti-fetal medicine, and when she saw Concubine Hu arriving in such a hurry, she even almost fell when she entered the door, she immediately scolded the people around her, "Why are you serving me? You didn't even support me? You are responsible for the fall, my queen."
Can you afford it?"
Concubine Hu didn't care to say this anymore, and turned around and beat them out. She said to the imperial concubine, "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you. Please beat them out."
When the imperial concubine saw that she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, she knew something was wrong, so she winked at the people in the palace, and the people who were waiting in the palace went out and closed the door.
"Concubine Hu, what happened?" the imperial concubine asked hurriedly.
Concubine Hu suppressed her voice, but still showed fear, "Mother, the prince was seriously injured in front of the battle."
The imperial concubine suddenly turned pale when she heard the thunder, "What? How do you know? Did the emperor tell you?"
Concubine Hu shook her head, "No, today Princess Huai came to the palace to see me, and she mentioned that the Crown Princess and Erbao had a nightmare last night, dreaming that something happened to the Crown Prince, so Princess Huai came to the palace to ask about it.
Let's see if there is any news coming back from Xiuzhou Mansion, but the emperor has been in the imperial study today, and there is no need for lunch or dinner. He and the ministers are discussing this matter in the imperial study. The concubine asked Mu Ru Eunuch, and then she knew this
Yes."
The imperial concubine was panicked and confused for a moment, "How is the injury?"
"It is said that he is seriously injured. He has already gone to Prince Anfeng to get the Purple Golden Pill. The second flying pigeon letter has not come back yet. I don't know what will happen after taking the Purple Golden Pill."
The imperial concubine slowly sat down, and there was only one voice in her heart, "Don't let anything happen to Lao Wu. He is the crown prince. Once something happens, the country will be shaken."
The battle between brothers for the heir was finally brought to a halt, but the emperor and Beitang had already paid a heavy price. If something happened to the prince at this juncture...
The imperial concubine's eyes slowly fell on Concubine Hu's face. No wonder she was so panicked. Her family was powerful and she was deeply favored by the emperor. Little Lao Shi was the easiest to be mentioned.
But the title of grandson has been decided long ago, and the old officials in the court will not tolerate the little old ten coming to compete, so the little old ten...
She regained her composure and said sternly: "Don't panic. The Crown Prince will definitely meet the auspicious signs. When the pregnant Princess comes to the palace tomorrow, you can't tell her about this. She can't hide it from the Crown Princess. Once the Crown Princess learns about this,
It would be a bad thing if something happened to the fetus. Even if you were unintentional, someone would hold you responsible and push you mother and son into the limelight. After you go back, just pretend you don't know anything. Tomorrow the pregnant princess will ask you,
Just say that the emperor has never been here and you don’t know the news."
Concubine Hu was stunned, "But if we don't inform the Crown Princess, she will blame me if she finds out in the future."
The imperial concubine was also in a state of confusion, but she could only pull out one thought from the chaos, "Tell her now, what can she do to help? There is the Supreme Emperor in front of the battle, and there will be proper arrangements. You and I are members of the harem.
, you shouldn’t be involved in the war. If you want to tell the Crown Princess, the Emperor will tell you. You and I can’t say anything. Okay, don’t panic, the Crown Prince will be fine."
Concubine Hu murmured: "Yes, it will be fine. Although I am overthinking, I really hope that the prince will be fine."
"Well, go back, don't panic anymore," the imperial concubine said.
In the imperial study room, half of the ministers had been dismissed. Emperor Ming Yuan was exhausted mentally and physically, but he was also anxious. In addition to Lao Wu's accident, there was also a war imminent. If this battle could not stop the Northern Desert people, and the Northern Desert army commander drove straight down, who else would be left in the Northern Tang Dynasty?
Can it be defended?
He needed the ministers to come up with strategies on what to do next once the Northern Desert Army annihilated the 300,000 troops of the Northern Tang Dynasty, but no one gave any ideas.
At the end of the day, he angrily expelled all the ministers from the imperial study, leaving only a few princes and Gu Si and Lingyan.
He was so tired that he didn't even drink a sip of the ginseng soup that Eunuch Mu Ru brought him, and he didn't want to rest. He kept waiting for the second letter from Fei Ge.
"Gu Si, go and see if the letter has arrived?" He raised his sharp eyes and waved to Gu Si.
Gu Si took a trip to receive the order. When he came back, he shook his head and said, "I haven't returned to the emperor yet."
Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes dimmed inch by inch. Worry, fear, sadness, anxiety, and various emotions were intertwined. He only felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, but he tried his best to suppress it.
Calm Yan comforted him, "Your Majesty, please don't worry too much. The prince will turn his misfortune into good fortune. Prince Anfeng is here. He has the Purple Gold Pill. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as he still has breath, he can be temporarily stabilized."
"What happens after we are temporarily stable?" Emperor Ming Yuan looked at him. The worst plan had been lingering in his heart several times, but he was still unwilling to say it out or think about it more. He leaned back on the chair and said silently.
He said: "This is not the first time that Lao Wu's life is in danger. Even though I was anxious and worried at that time, I was not as helpless as I am now. In the past two years, I have relied on him. He seems to have become my support when I am in trouble.
I no longer go to the Supreme Emperor, but to discuss with him. He always has wonderful ideas and can always solve my problems time and time again."
