This time, Feng Yuheng stood up from the chair and leaned half of her body out of the window. Xuan Tiange was so frightened that she thought she was going to jump off the building, so she quickly grabbed her from behind.
Then she heard Feng Yuheng say: "It's Zhang Yuan! It's Zhang Yuan!" She recognized the familiar voice. It was Zhang Yuan, the young eunuch who was always with Emperor Tianwu. But this eunuch was not in the palace.
What does it mean to accompany the old emperor well and come to the execution ground at this time to ask for mercy? Is it a last-second rescue?
Supervisor Xu Jingyuan didn't understand what this meant. As a member of Lao Qi Lao Jiu's team, he really wanted to kill the Eighth Prince, but he didn't expect that it was the last moment and the mission was about to be completed.
, but suddenly a disruptor appeared, and it happened to be Zhang Yuan.
Xu Jingyuan only felt that one was bigger than the other. As Zhang Yuan was the eunuch of Emperor Tianwu, anything he participated in meant that the emperor was personally involved. His intuition told him that the eighth prince might not be able to be killed.
In the midst of his thoughts, Zhang Yuan's horse was already approaching. He didn't bother to get off the horse and glanced at the still-living Eighth Prince, but his eyebrows furrowed. It didn't look like he was glad that this man was not dead, but rather a bit...
It meant "Am I here early?" Not only did he frown, he also looked up at the sun and glanced at the sundial next to him, okay! He came just in time, why didn't he take a step slower! If
If you were a step too late, the Eighth Prince would have been beheaded. How great would that be?
Zhang Yuan sighed helplessly, raised the imperial decree in his hand, and said to Xu Jingyuan: "The Emperor has decreed that the case of the Eighth Prince be retried. Now please Sir Xu, please send him back to the palace immediately. The Emperor will summon him in person."
Xu Jingyuan quickly came down from the execution platform and approached Zhang Yuan and asked in confusion: "Eunuch Yuan, what is going on? Why do you need to retrial when you have already done this? Isn't it already clear?
"
Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly, "Our family also has the same thoughts as Mr. Xu, but this is indeed the emperor's will." He looked at Xu Jingyuan, got off the horse, walked closer and whispered: "These days, because of the eight
Regarding the prince's matter, the emperor didn't eat and drink, so he lost a lot of weight. The night before last, Liu Cainu came, and the emperor met her without saying anything. The two talked for a while, but it was nothing.
But for some unknown reason, the emperor suddenly changed his mind just now and drove the servants out to issue this imperial edict. Master Xu, we can wait until we see the emperor in the palace to discuss everything! Now if you ask our family, we can’t explain clearly.
"
Xu Jingyuan took the imperial edict and stared at the jade seal above, feeling very complicated. But at this moment, the eighth prince Xuan Tianmo heard the conversation between the two and knew that Zhang Yuan's imperial edict was to save him. He couldn't help but
He burst into laughter and said, "You see! I have already said that if I lose, you will not win! As long as I don't die, there will be 10,000 possibilities for this! Xu Jingyuan, go back and tell your master that the next one will be detained
The person going to the execution ground might be him! Hahahaha!"
He smiled wildly, feeling lucky to have survived a disaster, but also arrogant to have turned around.
On the second floor of the teahouse, Feng Yuheng clenched his fists tightly, and his silver teeth were almost broken by his teeth. "Can't you kill him? Why is this?"
No one could answer her why, because no one understood, no one could figure it out. Xuan Tiange also stood at the window for a long time, but at this time he could only respond: "Aheng, your premonition is really accurate.
!”
Feng Tianyu's thoughts were more delicate. At this time, he tugged on the corner of Feng Yuheng's clothes and said softly: "Aheng, look, is Zhang Yuan looking for someone? Who is he looking for?"
Several people looked down, and sure enough they saw Zhang Yuan looking around, as if searching. But Xu Jingyuan had already complied with the imperial decree, escorted the eighth prince back to the prison car, and walked slowly towards the palace.
All the people who came to watch the execution were very excited. Most of them were poor people from the north of the city. They all held back their energy and wanted to see the eighth prince die to comfort the dead souls. This was about to happen.
However, they didn’t expect that an imperial edict came out halfway. People wanted to ask Zhang Yuan what was going on, but a person of Zhang Yuan’s status, although he was disabled and lowly, had the most direct relationship with the palace.
After getting in touch, those who wanted to ask had more considerations in their minds. No one took the lead, so no one dared to ask.
Some people spontaneously followed the prison car, wanting to know the final outcome of the matter. Gradually, there were fewer people at the execution ground, and soon only Zhang Yuan and the cleaning official were left. Zhang Yuan was still looking around, and finally lifted the
When they first met Feng Yuheng's eyes, they saw him stamping his feet and waving to Feng Yuheng to signal them to come down.
Feng Yuheng came out of the teahouse with several sisters, and Zhang Yuan quickly greeted her. After looking at the people around who were not watching and eavesdropping, he took a step closer and said to her in a low voice: "Princess, I'm afraid something happened in the palace.
"
"Something happened?" Feng Yuheng was startled. She didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Yuan's words. "What could happen in the palace?" The eighth prince has been imprisoned. Is it possible that he can have any remaining members to break into the palace?
Threatening Emperor Tianwu? That's impossible! Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianhua have already made complete preparations. It is absolutely impossible for any palace gate to let suspicious people in, and there is absolutely no chance that there are any remnants of the Eighth Prince in the palace. Of course,
Apart from his biological mother Liu Cainv, what can a mere Cainv do?
Zhang Yuan looked very worried. He said to Feng Yuheng: "There were so many people just now that I didn't dare to say anything to Master Xu. But in fact, the emperor has been ill since last night, and he fell ill suddenly. Zhao
Hedian informed the imperial doctor, but no unusual symptoms were found. They only said that the emperor was suffering from a heart attack and needed to rest. They analyzed that it was because the eighth prince, the emperor, was suffering from a fire, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Prescribe some relief medicine and use it first. But the slave always feels that things are not that simple..."
When he said this, Feng Yuheng stopped his words with a wave of his hand, then turned to Xuan Tiange and said: "I will enter the palace immediately, will you go?"
"Go!" Xuan Tiange said, "Since the emperor is ill, I must go to the palace to have a look."
She expressed her stance, and Feng Tianyu and Ren Xifeng beside her also immediately expressed that they would go home first and tell their fathers that this matter was big or small. As a general and right minister, their fathers had to know.
Feng Yuheng nodded and said: "Okay, I'll take your palace car! Eunuch Yuan, you will come too, and you will tell us more about the matter on the way." This time she was arranged, and she turned back to Wangchuan and said:
"Go back to the palace quickly and get me the medicine box." After saying that, he took off his belt and handed it to Wangchuan: "If you don't catch up with us, take my belt and enter the palace by yourself.
Look for me at the other end of Zhaohe Hall. Xuan Tianming should have received the letter and rushed to the palace long ago, so let's not delay and leave immediately."
The few people acted as soon as they were told and separated immediately. Feng Yuheng took Zhang Yuan and Huang Quan into Xuan Tiange's palace car and rushed towards the palace. Zhang Yuan also told them in the car
My own analysis: "To say that the emperor is angry because of the Eighth Prince's matter, that is for sure. But based on the slave's understanding of the emperor over the years, even if he is angry, he will not go to this extent. Then step back.
Wan Bu said, even if I am so sad that I fall ill, I will not have to issue such an imperial edict at this juncture."
"Why did the emperor give the decree?" Xuan Tiange asked with frowning, "Just now you said that the emperor met Liu Cainu? But what did Liu Cainu ask for?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head, "Your Majesty has met Liu Cainu. He didn't want to see her at first, but then he felt that Liu Cainu was about to lose his son, so he felt sympathy, so he met her. The servant was also present at the time, and Liu Cainu asked for help.
The emperor gave the eighth prince another chance. After being rejected by the emperor, she just cried and did nothing else. But just this afternoon, he didn't do anything. Suddenly, he seemed to be stunned.
He suddenly sat up from the dragon bed, grabbed the servant and said, Xiao Yuanzi, quickly go and draw up an order to let the Ministry of Punishment release him! I can't kill my son, I can't let Lao Ba die like this, he is
My son!" He imitated Emperor Tianwu and spoke with great emotion. "The servants were all confused at that time. How could they say that they should let him go at this time? The relationship between the emperor and the eighth prince is not so deep.
! But the emperor's behavior... was still as the slave said, like a demon in a daze. He pinched the slave's neck and asked for an edict. The slave had no choice but to obey the emperor's order. This is why today's sword-retaining people
thing."
"So, this decision was made suddenly by the father?" Feng Yuheng heard some clues, "And you said that before making this decree, he seemed to be in a daze. In other words, his consciousness was not very clear.
Sober, at least different from your usual state?"
Zhang Yuan nodded: "That's what I mean. To be disrespectful, when I heard the emperor say this, what I was thinking in my mind was, is the emperor crazy? Or is he dreaming and being haunted by a nightmare? This is not his.
What a habit!"
Indeed, Tianwu has always been neat and free in doing things. Even if he is a little hesitant in handling matters such as his sons competing for position and framing each other, he will not do what he did today. "Things that are not normal are monsters, father.
I'm afraid it's not just an illness, there must be something else fishy going on here."
Zhang Yuan was so anxious that his head was sweating, "Princess, you are not a cat, even a little eunuch like me can't figure it out. I just want to know, is there nothing wrong with the emperor's body?" He has followed Tian since he was a child.
Emperor Wu, although there was the old eunuch from Prince Yu's Mansion at that time, they were master and apprentice, and the old eunuch was also with him at that time. Zhang Yuan was not afraid of anything. What he was most afraid of in his life was that something would happen to Emperor Tianwu.
, if the old emperor is gone, how will he live? When he thought of this, he burst into tears.
Xuan Tiange was so angry that he raised his leg and kicked him: "Why are you crying? Just solve the problem if there is a problem, what's the point of crying?" After saying that, he looked at Feng Yuheng again, "Aheng, what do you think of this matter?"
Feng Yuheng shook her head, "I don't know, I don't know yet. We have to wait until we enter the palace and see my father before we can draw a conclusion. But this matter is probably not simple. The Eighth Prince survived the catastrophe. Once he regains power,
I’m afraid it will be detrimental to us.”
"I'm really worried about Uncle Huang's illness." Xuan Tiange rubbed his hands anxiously and kept mumbling: "God bless me, I must make sure Uncle Huang is well, but he must not go on a business trip!"
Feng Yuheng closed her eyes slightly, and a bad premonition rushed over her heart...
