Bai Ling entered the palace again and clearly noticed that the atmosphere in the palace was a bit more tense than last time.
The number of imperial guards at the palace entrance has doubled, and inspections have become stricter.
If Dehai hadn't personally come to pick up Bai Ling with the emperor's token, it would have been at least an hour before Bai Ling wanted to enter the palace.
Bai Ling did not ask about this, but Dehai saw it and couldn't help but sigh that the golden phoenix flying out of the farmer's house was indeed different.
An ordinary woman would have been frightened and overwhelmed by such a battle today.
Even if you are calmer, you should still ask if something happened.
"The emperor has recovered very well these days. My wife first gave him acupuncture and sealed several major acupuncture points in his organs. After half an hour, he will take a medicinal bath. The emperor cannot leave within two hours. I don't know if the emperor wants to do it now.
Start?" Bai Ling asked.
"Let's begin." The emperor closed his eyes.
During the previous treatment, the emperor was in agony.
Before Bai Ling left the palace last time, he specifically told the emperor that the pain would be doubled this time. The emperor couldn't help but tremble just thinking about it.
However, for the sake of the majesty of the emperor, the emperor could not show it, so he had to close his eyes tightly and not think about the treatment.
Bai Ling is already very familiar with acupuncture, so he can administer the needles very quickly.
In just one cup of tea, the emperor had turned into a hedgehog, lying on the huge dragon bed unable to move or even open his eyelids.
"Eunuch Lao Dehai is here to take care of you. Don't let anyone touch the silver needle. I'll go and prepare the medicine first, and then I'll come over and pull out the needle after I burn a stick of incense." After Bai Ling washed her hands, she said to Dehai.
"Yes, I must be optimistic about this." Dehai agreed.
The emperor was suspicious, and there were three layers of imperial guards outside.
There are countless secret guards on the roof, almost surrounding the main hall airtightly.
However, the palace maids and eunuchs were sent out and were not allowed to enter without being summoned.
The Imperial Guard, even if there are people posted by others, there are so many people guarding one place, they cannot act without authorization and do things that are detrimental to the emperor.
The secret guards are the foundation of the emperor's life, and they are cultivated by his cronies.
Only Dehai has been with the emperor for many years and has won the emperor's trust.
I don't know what the emperor's decree was. During the period when he was seriously ill, the harem was extremely quiet.
None of the concubines had any intention of competing for favor at this time, and even the Queen Mother had never left Cining Palace, let alone conveyed Yi's decree.
It is like a dead city in the palace, where everyone is imprisoned in a small area and lives without hearing what is going on outside the window.
On the outskirts of Beijing, the third prince's villa.
"Hahaha!"
The wanton laughter of the third prince spread out of the room, and the imperial guards guarding outside turned a deaf ear.
In fact, the third prince has always behaved strangely since he was placed under house arrest in the suburbs of Beijing.
The emperor's previous kindness to Concubine Chen also made the Imperial Guards speculate whether the emperor intended to pardon the third prince's crime.
As long as the third prince does not leave the other courtyard, the Imperial Guards will not be considered derelict in their duties, and other matters are not within their scope of responsibilities.
"Take a message to your grandfather, and everything will be carried out according to the plan in the secret letter. Someone will be there to help him when the time comes." After the third prince laughed wildly, he handed a wax pill to the man in black.
After he was the only one left in the room, the third prince picked up a wine jar, drank a gulp of wine, and threw it against the wall.
The wine jar shattered in response, the aroma of wine was overwhelming, and the third prince laughed even more arrogantly.
"You all just wait for me! You have put me in this situation. When I succeed in my great cause, all of you will surely die!" Looking at the little bits of moonlight coming through the window, the third prince said sadly.
Prince's Mansion.
In the past few days, the prince was recovering from his injuries in bed, and his angry voice could be heard every day.
Everything went wrong, the ancestral hall was damaged again, and there was almost no chance of having an heir. How could the prince maintain a normal mind?
But no matter how angry the prince was, he couldn't leave the prince's mansion and couldn't take revenge.
"Send a message to my grandfather and ask him to just let go and prepare. This time, it will definitely happen!" After the prince gave the order, he turned to look at the princess and several concubines standing in front of the bed, and his face became a little darker.
.
As a man, when he is not good at what he does, seeing his wife and concubines by his side is simply a hindrance.
Especially the worried eyes of the wives and concubines made the prince even more angry.
But now is the time to achieve great things. Even if the prince has a temper, he cannot anger these women. Who will make them useful?
"You are all lonely women, and you are both prosperous and lonely."
"Now is a good time. You must make a desperate move, otherwise you will become a commoner and have to rely on others to survive."
"It's time for your mother clan to help you."
The prince said, looking at one of the concubines who looked more like the sister next door. Even though he didn't usually love her much, he wanted to say a few more words at this moment.
"It's not just your mother clan. Gu wants you to use your abilities to win over foreign aid! Remember, only when Gu achieves great things will you have the opportunity to aspire for the most honorable position!"
The prince's words undoubtedly created a bright future for several concubines, asking her to contribute more.
But the Crown Princess felt a chill in her heart. She couldn't help thinking that if the Crown Prince really succeeded in forcing the palace, could she, the Crown Princess, hold her position firmly in the palace?
Even if you can successfully become the queen, you may not necessarily be the queen mother in the future, and you will be honored throughout your life.
"I obey my orders." The Crown Princess was thinking in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face. She led several concubines to greet the Crown Prince.
The prince nodded with satisfaction. For the first time, he felt that it was the right thing for him to have a group of wives and concubines.
Han Dynasty Palace.
After Shangguan Yu sent Bai Ling into the palace, he first went to the Yang Mansion and picked up the three members of the Yang family.
On the grounds that Princess Han was unwell, Mrs. Yang was asked to live in the guest courtyard nearest to Princess Han.
Baicao is temporarily living with her two younger sisters. The sisters will not be bored and can take care of each other.
Yang Fan, on the other hand, would follow Shangguan Yu every day to discuss matters in the secret room, or leave from the secret passage to arrange some matters in the suburbs of Beijing.
It is no longer a generational thing for the Han Palace to be feared by the royal family, so how could we not make preparations?
However, the private soldiers of the Han Palace were only responsible for protecting the safety of the Han Palace and would not participate in palace battles.
Therefore, in the secret passage that no one knows about, a group of private soldiers are quietly entering and will appear in the Han Dynasty Palace at any time to protect the safety of the masters.
The spies who were inserted were sent to Zhuangzi to do hard work by Princess An for various reasons, or were punished to do menial jobs.
The two most deeply buried spies were sold by Princess Han regardless of whether they could be used in the future.
"Sending so many people out at once, and having to buy more later, I have to find out which company arranged for the people to come in, so I have to worry about it." Princess Han pressed her head and said with a headache.
Aunt Yun brought a bowl of bird's nest to Princess Han and said with a smile: "Master, please don't worry. I would like to ask this old slave to send these people out as soon as possible. We have been in the palace for so many years and we know their details, but the servants
I don’t know, it’s inevitable that some information will leak out, and it will be much easier to do something that is not beneficial to the master.”
"Now the crown prince is getting married. Maybe there will be a younger crown prince by the end of the year, but we can't let those ghosts and monsters exist."
Princess Han's expression changed slightly, remembering that when she was pregnant, someone poisoned her. As a result, Shangguan Yu had been sick since he was born, and almost died several times.
"Mommy reminded me that this matter must be prevented. Ziyuan's incident must not happen again!" Princess Han said seriously.
Aunt Yun nodded and said: "Master, it's good if you have figured it out. Our Han Palace has been tolerant enough, but that is also based on the situation that no one harms the Han Palace's heirs. Otherwise, why bother to keep low and be a coward?"
In the past, Grandma Yun would not have said such words to avoid bringing disaster to her master.
But something happened to the King of Han, and it was inseparable from the royal family, which is really heartbreaking! (To be continued)
