Chapter 945: Ambush
Brother Yu was a little surprised when she heard this, shouldn't these people be Wei Mingxu's people? How could they not allow the private members of the Jing Palace's Mansion to bring knives into the palace, but some of their own family members were embarrassed by their own family.
Lin Zhixuan didn't say anything, just glanced at them, asked them to wait here, and let Brother Yu go back.
Although Brother Yu had some doubts, he didn't ask much, and only watched Lin Zhixuan enter the gate of Cining Palace accompanied by Qiu Ju.
When the Empress Dowager heard the news of Lin Zhixuan's coming, she was actually a little surprised, Fu Weige was waiting by the Empress Dowager's side, and then it was Liuxi.
The Empress Dowager's body is like this, and Liu Xi's face is also much haggard under the shadow of the lamp. Fu Weige stood up and saluted Lin Zhixuan, Lin Zhixuan only nodded to him slightly, and went with him to ask the Empress Dowager about her condition.
Fu Weige said: "The prince has come to take a look, I'm afraid it's tonight." ”
Lin Zhixuan twisted her eyebrows and said, "That prince should serve in front of the bed, why is there no one in this Cining Palace now." ”
Fu Weige lowered his voice and said to Lin Zhixuan: "Just now, the prince came to see the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother said that everything was fine, and she was a little tired and wanted to sleep for a while." The emperor and the prince had some quarrels because of the illness tonight, and the prince was afraid that the emperor would quarrel with the queen mother to rest, so he went to the palace to talk to the emperor. Let the minions serve here. ”
Lin Zhixuan nodded slightly and said, "You go to the side hall and wait, I will talk to the Queen Mother, and I will call you in if there is something." ”
Fu Weige saluted Lin Zhixuan, and then respectfully retreated.
There were only faint lights and candles flickering in the entire Cining Palace, and all the palace maids and eunuchs were outside, and the inside of Cining Palace was as quiet as an empty ice cellar.
The Empress Dowager coughed softly, and Qiu Ju helped Lin Zhixuan walk across the hanging veil, turned the screen, and entered the sleeping hall where the Empress Dowager was sleeping.
"You're coming. The Empress Dowager had already sat up slightly with the help of Liu Xi, looking at Lin Zhixuan, the lights were dim, although Lin Zhixuan couldn't see the Empress Dowager's face clearly, but in just a few months, the Empress Dowager who was tortured by illness was already skinny.
Liu Xi went back and turned on two more lamps, and Qiu Ju moved a chair over and asked Lin Zhixuan to sit in front of the Queen Mother's bed.
The Empress Dowager's eyes unconsciously looked at Qiu Ju, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Lin Zhixuan looked at the Empress Dowager but looked as usual: "I really shouldn't have come." ”
The Empress Dowager suddenly shook her head: "You will definitely come tonight, but you came a little earlier than I thought." ”
Lin Zhixuan listened to the Empress Dowager's words, her brows suddenly furrowed, according to the Empress Dowager's intentions, she would definitely "invite" herself to the palace tonight.
may be afraid that the little emperor will not be able to restrain Wei Mingxu at all, so he will take himself and the two children as hostages.
After the Empress Dowager lures Wei Mingxu into the palace tonight, she will do something to King Jing's Mansion!
Lin Zhixuan didn't believe that the Empress Dowager was sure enough to shake the Jingwang Mansion: "The Empress Dowager underestimated the defense of the Jingwang Mansion too much. ”
The Empress Dowager coldly hooked the corners of her mouth: "Naturally, the defense of the Jingwang Mansion is indeed like an iron bucket, but if someone is inside and outside, it will be different." ”
Lin Zhixuan's brows furrowed tightly, Liu Xi had finished lighting the lamp, and returned to the Empress Dowager's side to serve: "This defense map of King Jing's Mansion, I'm afraid that Princess Jing herself has never had the honor to see it." ”
Liu Xi suddenly raised his head and glanced at Qiu Ju standing behind Lin Zhixuan, Qiu Ju's heart tightened, staring at Liu Xi with his hands clenched into fists.
It was still in the past, when Brother Shu'er had a daytime banquet, Liu Xi took the Empress Dowager's reward into the Jingwang Mansion to announce the decree, and according to the instructions of the Empress Dowager, he got the defense map of the Jingwang Mansion from Wei Mingxu's study, the secret posts outside the Jingwang Mansion, and where the secret guards in the Jingwang Mansion were distributed, the secret passages under the Jingwang Mansion, and so on. It's all clearly marked on that map.
Lin Zhixuan was a little apprehensive when she heard this, but her face was not revealed, and she only asked the Empress Dowager: "The Empress Dowager actually thinks that the concubines are coming early, so when do you plan to invite the concubines to come?"
The Empress Dowager shook her head gently: "The mourning family never thought that they would be able to see you again, this is also the fate of our mother, I didn't expect that the person who sent the mourning family on the last journey would be you." Thank you, girl. ”
Listening to the words of the Empress Dowager, Lin Zhixuan's heart breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Are you planning to wait for the death of the Empress Dowager before you do it?
It must be yes, before Wei Mingxu left the palace, the Empress Dowager's people did not dare to act rashly, because the eyeliner of the Jingwang Mansion was also closely watching the movements in the palace, if the people in the palace came early, they would definitely be detected by the secret whistle of the Jingwang Mansion, and once Wei Mingxu learned the news, then they would definitely be on guard.
Moreover, today, Wei Mingxu had originally strengthened the guards of the Jingwang Mansion by three or four times, and if he wanted to threaten the safety of the Jingwang Mansion, the palace must dispatch a large number of troops.
However, Lin Zhixuan only heard that the Jinggi guards outside had moved under Xie Wenliang's secret dispatch, but after all, they were still outside the capital, and they had never heard that they had secretly entered Beijing.
The governor of the capital is under the control of Zuo Leizong, Zuo Leizong is a reckless man, although he is the empress dowager's own brother, but he can't hide things in his heart, and now he is even more loyal to Wei Mingxu, and the possibility of rebellion is unlikely.
The guards in the palace did not hear Wang Jingsheng say anything about any large-scale actions.
Other military forces in Beijing......
Only Wei Mingxu, in order to prevent accidents, once asked Li Qi of the military department to transfer 3,000 troops from the Fengtai battalion into Beijing.
Bingbu!
The Li family is reversed!
In the Fushou Hall of the old lady of the Li family, it was not someone else who sat side by side with the old lady Li, but Liao Qing, who narrowly picked up a life.
Li Miaosheng's face was very ugly, and he still spared no effort to persuade the old lady: "Please think twice about this matter." ”
The old lady said with a cold face: "Miao Sheng! Jing'er is your biological daughter! Now that she is pregnant, she was brutally killed by Jingwangfu, such a person is also worth your life for him?"
Li Miaosheng was heartbroken, Li Jing did ugly things, Wei Mingxu only said to Li Miaosheng alone, Wei Mingxu did not make it public, and also saved face for the Li family, at this moment, Li Miaosheng has an unspeakable reason for the old lady.
The old lady ignored Li Miaosheng, and only continued: "Besides, there is that secret, the people of the Li family don't know it, now that they already know, do you think the Jingwang Mansion will give our Li family a chance to live?"
Li Miaosheng hurriedly said: "If Prince Jing won't give the Li family a chance to live, does my mother think the emperor will give it?
