Yes, although he successfully climbed over the wall into Yonghe Palace and met Concubine Yu, the emperor was not able to stay in Yonghe Palace for the night. It was not because the pregnant woman who was about to give birth was not as beautiful as before, nor because Concubine Yu was pretentious.
He stayed overnight because... Concubine Yu, who pointed out that there was really no need for mother and son to argue, also scolded the emperor for another matter.
"The emperor said such outrageous things and left the prince in Qingning Palace. He was still hanging around in the palace and even stayed in the palace of the palace concubine. So for the queen mother, isn't this a son who has been raised in vain for decades?
?If I had worked so hard during my ten-month pregnancy to give birth to such a son, then I would only hate myself for not strangling him to death when I was born!"
He was scolded! The emperor touched his nose and thought of the past again. When the husband and wife were loving and harmonious in the beginning, the queen would be happy, sad or angry, all of which would be shown on her face, so she was particularly lively and lively, but when she was irritable
After being irritable and suspicious, he was often arrogant and would not say anything clearly, and had to ridicule her in a roundabout way, so he became more and more alienated from her.
While the other concubines were either cautious or frightened in front of him, Concubine Yu...she dared to scold him! Compared with today's harsh-sounding scolding, when people pointed their noses at him and scolded him, it was much more intense than this time.
At that time, people seemed to be calling him...a lustful and courageous fool?
It was that time that he learned that the queen actually killed a palace man who had answered him in Xiyuan without any reason. God knew that he had no lustful thoughts at all, and he didn't even know what the palace man looked like.
I don’t remember, but the result was that a life was lost. Even as the emperor, many people’s heads fell to the ground as a result of his ink strokes, but that time was different.
That was something he could never bear! It was after that time that he and the queen had a big quarrel and really broke up.
Hua Qi, who was not far behind the emperor, put his hands in his sleeves and wrapped him tightly in a black cloak, as if to hide his whole person in the night. However, he hoped that the emperor would forget to blend in with the night.
I was one with myself, but I didn't expect that the emperor had not forgotten at all. Instead, he suddenly asked without looking back: "Do you think I should go to Qingning Palace to apologize to the Queen Mother?"
There is no way I can survive this day. If you have to ask me about such a fatal matter, I might as well stay in Zhao Guogong's mansion and be my idler! Hua Qi let out a breath of anger, but it was neither salty nor indifferent.
Said: "The emperor can go if he wants to go, but if he doesn't want to go, he can't go."
This was tantamount to saying nothing. However, the emperor heard it, but he did not get angry because it was the truth. But he didn't want to go...but actually knew that he should go. He heard a slapping sound in the distance.
There was also the sound of ringing bells, but these people seemed to have clairvoyance and ears, and tacitly avoided his path.
At least, on the way from Qianqing Palace to Yonghe Palace, and then from Yonghe Palace to Qingning Palace, he didn't encounter even a single figure. If the guard in the palace is really relaxed like this... then, the grand palace
It became an ordinary house where predators and thieves were allowed to run rampant. So, he couldn't help but tilted his head slightly and asked, "How did you do that?"
Hua Qi didn't have any problem understanding such nonsense. He didn't even blink his eyelids and said calmly: "I used my footsteps to send a message to the imperial servants and asked them to call people.
Avoid the place where the emperor is going. As for what kind of footsteps, I cannot tell the emperor."
The emperor suddenly fell silent. Although the imperial chamberlain was the most powerful and last sword in the palace, as an emperor, he only used it and did not practice it. There was really no need to ask so many questions. But after the mysterious death of the mother and son, he
I just feel that as an emperor, there are too many things that I don't know about. Let alone the world, even the palace cannot know everything.
Therefore, he suddenly stopped and turned around: "Go to Qingning Palace and ask Yuquan to tell the Queen Mother that I know I was wrong, and I will go to the Fengxian Palace to apologize to the late Emperor!"
Seeing the emperor saying these words and running away, Hua Qi wanted to chase him, but after just two steps, he thought of this man who has always said that the wind is the rain. After he really made a decision, even the seven cows could not pull him.
Come back. So, he had no choice but to cough heavily, and after someone actually appeared from the shadows not far away and hurried forward, he gave an angrily order.
"Escort the Emperor to the Fengxian Palace. No, it's not an escort, it's a follower from a distance. Don't go there to seek death!"
When Hua Qi, who had to leave the emperor, finally saw Yuquan and conveyed those words, he saw the face of the chief female officer of Qingning Palace as gloomy as the eve of a storm. He took a step back without thinking,
Then he coughed dryly and said: "If you want to scold me, feel free to scold him. The emperor is not here anyway, so you can scold him as you like! He has already gone to Fengtian Hall to cry for the late emperor, so what else can he do?"
"Bah, why are you crying about the late emperor? He has no shame to come to see the Queen Mother!" Yuquan had a rigid face and was really angry. "When the Queen Mother wanted to see the eldest lady, he would stop her and say such excessive words to the Queen Mother.
, leaving the prince behind and walked away, but now he has to go to the Fengxian Palace... What does he want to do? In turn, cry to the late emperor that the queen mother is unreasonable? "
"You ask me, who should I ask!"
Hua Qiyi spread her hands and never mentioned that it was Concubine Yu who scolded the emperor. After the emperor was upset, he chose to go to Fengtian Palace. Even if the Queen Mother was angry, Yuquan, the person next to her, was even more angry, but when she learned about this incident
, then you will definitely not think that Concubine Yu is reasonable, but maybe you will think that the emperor values sex over filial piety.
So, after throwing away these six irresponsible words, Hua Qi ran away: "As for the eldest lady, I will go deliver the message right away. You tell the Queen Mother, don't worry about her." In fact, Zhang Shou was here, originally
There is no need to worry about Zhu Ying, but he is unwilling to stay in the palace tonight no matter what. It is too dangerous and his life will be shortened!
Not to mention how Hua Qi escaped from the palace as quickly as possible, Yuquan looked at this guy with a blank face as he climbed over the wall instead of taking the right path. He couldn't help but stare at the tall Qingning Gate and felt cruel in his heart.
He cursed this guy who behaved exactly like the emperor, but finally turned around and left.
Although she was very reluctant to report the news to the Queen Mother, and she even hoped that the grandfather and grandson who were chatting and having a good atmosphere inside had gone to bed, but unfortunately, when she came to the door of the dormitory again,
But I could still hear the Queen Mother's rare peaceful and joyful voice, as well as the Third Prince's questioning, echoing and exclamation without any sleepiness.
Why didn't she realize before that this little third prince was really a very sensible child? If she had known, she would have been nicer to this little guy...
Thinking about these digressions, she finally took a step forward, coughed slightly, and found that the conversation inside had paused for a moment, then she said: "The Queen Mother, Your Highness, the Emperor has gone to the Fengxian Palace."
Next to the Queen Mother, the third prince, who had slipped into bed unknowingly, was stunned for a moment, and then he got up in shock. The Fengxian Hall is a place where ancestors are enshrined, so of course he didn't.
He doesn't know, and why is his father going there? How could he be so slow that he can't guess?
He subconsciously lifted the quilt and rushed out without even bothering to put on his shoes. However, the Queen Mother quickly grabbed her by the collar. He only struggled twice before the Queen Mother behind him smiled and said, "Why, I'm worried about you."
Father? How old is he that he still needs to worry about a little guy like you?"
"He was like this in the past. He would often go to the Fengxian Hall to sit there all night when he had nothing to do. I told the ministers that he was going to reflect on the late emperor, which was considered to coax them away. But I know myself that he was not reflecting on anything. He
I simply felt that I had been wronged, so I went to complain to the late emperor! No wonder, the late emperor liked him as the prince the most and doted on him more than me."
The third prince was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked. It turned out that his father, who was so tough and fierce, would complain to others? And to the dead Emperor Ruizong? At that moment, he felt that he had always been as great as
The image of God's father and emperor seems to have collapsed a little bit...
If the emperor knew that his act of sitting in the Fengxian Hall all night had unintentionally had some counter-effect, then... he would definitely go to the Fengxian Hall and continue sitting there. After all, he would go to Qingning in three quarters
It was really difficult for him to apologize to the Queen Mother. On the contrary, it was an image problem in his son's mind, which was nothing at all.
And he never expected that Hua Qi would sneak out of the palace without any care and visit Zhang Yuan again in the middle of the night.
This time the person walked through the main entrance very openly, so after the concierge announced all the way in, Ah Liu, who does not often keep watch in person nowadays, had to get out of the warm bed immediately. When he appeared in front of people, although his face was not full
Yan Shuang, but at least he definitely doesn't have a good look on his face: "What are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm here to inform the eldest lady!"
Hua Qi was so hurt that she couldn't sleep at night. At this time, she came to disturb others' sleep. However, Hua Qi looked confident and confident: "You can go and report it for me. I'm almost exhausted. I'll go back to sleep after saying this."
!”
Regardless of whether Ah Liu agreed or not, Hua Qi explained the ins and outs of the things in the palace as quickly as possible, and then he didn't care whether Ah Liu understood it or not, he yawned and waved
He waved his hand and said: "Okay, I brought the message and my task is completed. I leave it all to you. See you later!"
People come and go faster. Although Ah Liu was angry and wanted to stop the person, he hesitated and hesitated, but in the end he did not take action casually.
It's not because Zhang Shou said that Hua Qi is still a little better than he is now, but because he knows how despicable and shameless this person is. If he turns around and stops him, if the person shouts some nonsense, it will be simply...
It would cause endless trouble for Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying... and of course it might also cause him countless troubles.
So, although he was very reluctant to disturb Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying, he quietly came to their room door. He did not knock on the door, nor did he raise his ears to listen to what was going on inside. Instead, he coughed intentionally first.
, just thinking that if there is no movement, then he should not disturb them.
However, his cough, which was obviously suppressed, was met with a whisper from Zhu Ying inside: "Hey, is it Ah Liu outside the door? Is there any news from the palace? Wait a minute, I'm going to
Come out... Ah Shou, why are you stopping me!"
Realizing that Zhu Ying was still awake in the middle of the night, Ah Liu couldn't help but hesitated slightly, and then heard Zhang Shou's voice again: "Ah Liu, if you have anything to say, just come in and say it. Yingying can't hide it in her heart.
The person who is in trouble, if there is no news here, even if I comfort her, she will probably rush to the palace regardless."
Hearing Zhu Ying's coquettish voice and Zhang Shou's comforting voice coming from inside, Ah Liu finally pushed the door gently and found that the door was not locked at all. He understood that this was so that he could come in and report any news at any time.
He finally crossed the threshold and entered, then closed the door with his backhand. However, he only took a few steps forward and stopped far away from the screen in front of the bed.
Then, of course, he recounted the events that Hua Qitong had just reported word for word. Although he heard Zhu Ying's surprises several times during this period, it was obvious that Zhang Shou on the side did not know what method he had used.
Without letting her interrupt him, he just finished speaking in one breath.
"I see, he worked really hard in the middle of the night." Zhang Shou sighed softly from behind the screen, and then he laughed and said, "Although the emperor did not go to Qingning Palace, he can go to Fengxian Palace.
His attitude has been shown. Besides, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Qingning Palace, Yingying, you don’t have to worry."
Hearing Zhu Ying's soft hum from behind the screen, Ah Liu knew that his mission had been completed, and of course he would not stay any longer. He coughed again and said: "The madman ran away after finishing his words. Then I
I also resigned."
"Go to rest early. You, a busy man, have a lot to do tomorrow."
Zhang Shou ordered with a smile. When he heard Ah Liu's deliberately heavy footsteps outside gradually receding, and when the door was closed, there was even the sound of the door latch being lowered. He knew that it was the young man with a bright mind who had deliberately used a small trick.
It wasn't until this moment that he let go of his wife in his arms, and as expected, he received a scolding.
"Ah Shou, do you want to suffocate me to death? I didn't plan to say anything, I just wanted to ask if Uncle Hua is still here..."
"If you are here, call him in and ask him clearly? He knows your temper, so he asked Ah Liu to tell him that he had hidden away. He probably sneaked out of the palace to avoid trouble.
It's not just a matter of simply reporting to you." Although Zhang Shou knew Hua Qi far better than Zhu Ying, he, as an onlooker, could see today's matter more clearly.
"Regardless of whether the investigation into the death of the eldest prince will continue, this matter is probably over here. Even Bachelor Kong, after finding out later, probably hoped that the eldest prince would commit suicide by taking medicine instead of
He was poisoned to death, otherwise it would not be an oversight, but a crime." At this point, Zhang Shou smiled and rubbed Zhu Ying's frowning eyebrows.
"He will do his best to get the First Prince to seal the coffin as soon as possible. Of course, I am more curious about another thing."
