Chapter 9: Providence or Man-Made
"Miss Wan, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale? When Zhang Wan was frowning, Li's mother on the side asked in a low voice. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, she couldn't help but be very worried when she saw Zhang Wan's suddenly pale face and a sick look.
If Miss Wan was sick at this time, wouldn't she have wasted a God-given opportunity? Because according to her observation, the words of the Empress Dowager Zhou just now were clearly implying something.
At this time, if you can show your face in front of the young prince, it will undoubtedly be a great opportunity for these show girls.
Mother Li was very happy. In her opinion, with Miss Wan's conditions, if she can grasp this opportunity, it is very likely that she will soar to the sky with this!
However, what Li's mother never expected was that this Wan girl suddenly fell ill at this time, looking pale and weak.
In this regard, Li's mother couldn't help but feel sorry, and she couldn't help but ask out loud when she was in a hurry.
And Li's mother's words just reminded Zhang Wan.
Is it pale? Wouldn't that be just right!
Seeing that the crown prince Zhu Youzhu was about to approach, Zhang Wan couldn't help but close her eyes weakly, and after shaking her body a few times, she fell down to the body of the show girl --- Liu Ruyan on the side.
Say then, then quickly. At the moment when Zhang Wan fell towards Liu Ruyan, she took advantage of the cover of her staggered body and pulled the coat on the other party's body......
Sure enough, Liu Ruyan's coat, which was deliberately loosely dressed in order to frame the prince, slipped down in an instant under Zhang Wan's collision, leaving only an exposed belly pocket, swaying in the spring breeze.......
"Ahh ......" With Liu Ruyan's scream covering her face, Zhang Wan's weakness fell to the ground, and all the show girls around her suddenly lost their faces and scattered in all directions.
The palace concubines who were frightened by this also hurriedly retreated a few steps under the protection of the palace maids and eunuchs.
All of a sudden, the Imperial Garden, which had just been in order, became a mess in an instant.
And the crown prince Zhu Youzhu turned his back at the moment when the show girl Liu Ruyan's coat slipped off, and walked quickly to the Empress Dowager Zhou, who stood up in panic.
At this time, the situation in the Imperial Garden was obviously no longer suitable for him to stay here.
"Imperial grandmother, grandson ......" Zhu Youjiao's words had just started when he was interrupted by the Empress Dowager Zhou's handshake.
"Zhu'er, you go back to the East Palace first." Empress Dowager Zhou's face was very ugly, she looked at the show girl who was still screaming, and couldn't help but glance at Wang Ruhai on the side.
In broad daylight, the showgirl to be selected appeared in front of everyone in full view of the disheveled clothes, which was really immoral and lost the royal face.
Seeing this, Zhu Youzhu wanted to comfort the Empress Dowager Zhou for a few words, but when he saw Concubine Ji Shu on the side, he gave him a faint glance asking him to leave first, so he saluted again, took the people around him, and left the imperial garden.
After seeing her son leave, when Concubine Ji turned back, she saw that Concubine Wan's eyes were full of resentment. Seeing this, Concubine Ji Shufei couldn't help but move in her heart, and after secretly breathing a sigh of relief, she quietly took a step back.
After Zhu Youzhu returned to the East Palace, he immediately gathered a few confidants around him and talked secretly in the study.
“.…… Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the Imperial Garden today? After Zhu Youzhu briefly explained what happened in the Imperial Garden at noon, he looked at the next few people.
At this moment, the crown prince Xie Qian, the young Zhan Shi Liu Jian, and Li Dongyang, the person from the East Palace, in the study, couldn't help but look solemn when they heard the words.
Under normal circumstances, how could the palace dress worn by the show girl slip off when she touches it?
After everyone was silent for a few breaths, Xie Qian was the first to speak. "Your Highness, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."
"That's right," Li Dongyang immediately took over the conversation, "I'm afraid this matter is aimed at you, the prince, that show girl......"
If there is no accident of another show girl who faints today; If the woman whose coat slipped off happened to be in front of the prince and accidentally slipped into her clothes, wouldn't the consequences be unimaginable?
When several people thought of this, they couldn't help but look up at each other, but they all saw a moment of fear in each other's eyes.
"Your Highness, you don't have to worry too much." Liu Jian saw that Zhu Youzhang's face was a little bad, so he couldn't help but ease the expression on his face, and said with a smile. "Your Royal Highness, you are blessed with great fortune, and you will inevitably turn evil into good fortune when you are in trouble."
"Yes, Your Highness." Xie Qian was worried that this matter would affect Zhu Youzhang's temperament, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
"This time, the show girl accidentally fainted and detonated the matter in advance, but she inadvertently blocked this catastrophe for Your Highness, this is the will of God."
Is it providence? Zhu Youzhu was noncommittal on the surface when he heard this, but his heart couldn't help but move.
If he is not mistaken, before the show girl fainted today, he clearly raised his eyebrows, and after glancing at the show girl whose coat slipped off, intentionally or unintentionally, he accurately fell to the other party.
I'm afraid this is not providential, right? It seems that the fainting show girl may have known in advance. Just, why did she help herself?
Zhu Youzhu thought of the pale-faced woman, and instantly made up his mind.
No matter what the woman helped her, it was a fact that she helped herself. It seems that he should also send a reliable person to take a look in Chuxiu Palace.
"Your Highness," Seeing that the crown prince seemed to be a little distracted, Xie Qian couldn't help but increase his tone. "Your Highness, why did you go to the Imperial Garden today?"
Before the selection of those show girls, they were all nominally the emperor's women. It stands to reason that when the Queen Mother summoned these beautiful girls, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as an adult prince, should not go anyway.
But what Xie Qian and the others couldn't figure out was that the prince went instead. Among them, I'm afraid there are still some things they don't know.
"Master Xie, it was the emperor's grandmother who sent someone to pass the word and let the palace pass." After the incident in the Imperial Garden, Zhu Youzhu also had doubts about this matter.
So, on his way back to the East Palace, he had already sent someone to find the little eunuch who had passed the word. It's just that......
"Oh?" When Xie Qian heard this, after glancing at the other two people in the room, Zou couldn't help but frown, "Dare to ask Your Highness, where is the little eunuch who passed the word now?" ”
"I don't know." Zhu Youzhu shook his head, "The palace has already sent someone to find it on the way back to the East Palace." It's just that the little eunuch has disappeared. Now there is no one alive or dead, no corpse is seen. ”
Missing! Xie Qian and the others looked at each other again, and their eyes were solemn.
Now it seems that the disappearance of this little eunuch may have confirmed the matter of today's imperial garden, which is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against His Royal Highness the Prince!
"Your Highness," Li Dongyang, who had always been in charge of the affairs of the East Palace, couldn't help but get up, bowed his head and saluted, "The minister will send more people to secretly look for the missing little eunuch." And just in case, the minister suggested ......"
Speaking of this, Li Dongyang raised his head, his eyes were solemn, "The minister suggests, Your Highness, you should immediately go to Cining Palace, so as to secretly find out if the Queen Mother really has a message to you today." ”
Not bad! When Xie Qian and Liu Jian heard this, they couldn't help but nod at the same time. Today's events are very important, and we must find out.
If this matter really involves the Queen Mother, then the current Cining Palace may not be so safe.
You must know that for a long time, the crown prince Zhu Youjiao's biggest reliance in the harem is the Empress Dowager Zhou of Cining Palace.
Now, if even Cining Palace can't be relied on, this is undoubtedly a huge blow to Zhu Youzhang.
"Well," Zhu Youzhu heard this, but he instantly figured out the power of this. "This palace will go to Cining Palace and say hello to the imperial grandmother."
