Chapter 576: The Tunnel
"Yes, the emperor is resting, resting, and no one is seen...... Missing...... Don't see ......" Gonggong Liu calmed down, trembled his voice, and waved to Xiaofuzi with shaking hands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xiao Fuzi got the signal, plucked up his courage and said to the eunuch guarding the door outside: "You go back to King Xu...... Just say that the emperor has rested, no one will be seen, and there will be something tomorrow...... Again! ā
The eunuch guarding the door outside didn't ask much, and after getting the words, he agreed and turned around and went to the palace gate
Xiao Fuzi watched him leave through the window, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and asked Gonggong Liu: "Master...... Let's go...... What now? ā
Although King Xu sent him away, the emperor ...... He quietly turned his head and glanced at Song Yuanlong's bed with his heart...... Your Majesty, he's dead!
If King Xu really comes back tomorrow, where will he and his master find a living emperor to see King Xu?
And also...... And also...... The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in the court, the concubines and princes in the palace and outside the palace...... I also want to see the emperor every day...... But the emperor doesn't have it now...... Tomorrow...... Tomorrow......
Xiao Fuzi was thinking about it at a loss, but was slapped on the head by Gonggong Liu: "When is it, you are still here in a daze?" Don't go yet! Go...... Get out of the tunnels...... sent a letter to Shen Shangshu and said that the emperor was ...... The emperor is not good! ā
There is a tunnel leading to the palace outside the Qianqing Palace under the bed of the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, the emperor Song Yuan, who has lived in the Qianqing Palace for nearly ten years, does not know, the father-in-law Liu who has accompanied Song Yuan in the Qianqing Palace for nearly ten years does not know, and the eighth prince Gongwang, who is everywhere in the palace, does not know...... Shen Shangshu knew.
A few years ago, one night, when Gonggong Liu woke up in the middle of the night and opened his eyes to see Shen Sanye, the prince of Zhenguo sitting in front of his bed, he was so frightened that his soul was scattered. Since then, Gonggong Liu has been really afraid of Shen Ce.
Just imagine, if a person can cross the palace in the middle of the night and quietly come to the emperor's bedroom, which is the most heavily guarded in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, what else can he not do?
As the emperor's most favored personal eunuch and the chief eunuch in the palace, Gonggong Liu can be said to have everything he wants, and he lacks nothing, but there is only one thing: he is particularly afraid of death.
He didn't know that Shen Ce came from the tunnel at that time, he only thought that Shen Ce flew in from the top of the palace wall, and he was so frightened that he immediately surrendered.
Fortunately, Shen Shangshu didn't let him do anything to harm the emperor on weekdays, at most, he asked him some questions about the emperor's living and diet, and some words about the princes and concubines of various palaces in front of the emperor.
For example, Sun Guifei has been serving the emperor from time to time since last winter, and he reported to Shen Shangshu last winter.
After he did things for Shen Shangshu, the most difficult thing was the last time he changed the medicine for the emperor, and he also had a big heart at that time, but fortunately, the emperor never found out.
Later, in the spring, once Shen Shangshu came to the Qianqing Palace, and somehow on a whim, he told him that there were authentic words in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, and took him to the side hall to see, saying: "You know about this matter, I know, others don't know, and you don't have to say it to the emperor, so as not to worry and worry after the emperor knows." ā
After all, if anyone knows that there is a tunnel in their house, they are afraid that they will not be at ease.
After Gonggong Liu knew about the existence of the tunnel at that time, he was also so shocked that he didn't come back to his senses for several days. He thought about it and thought about it, hesitated and hesitated, and he didn't come to Song Yuan to say it. It was only out of some kind of psychology that he couldn't say why, but he quietly told his apprentice Xiaofuzi
At the beginning, when Shen Ce took Gonggong Liu to see the tunnel, he also said: "You know this road, if something happens in the Qianqing Palace in the future, you know how to pass the news to me." ā
Although Gonggong Liu didn't fully understand the meaning behind Shen Ce's words at that time, he kept those words in his heart.
At this time, isn't there something big going on in the Qianqing Palace?
That's when you need to use that tunnel.
Therefore, Gonggong Liu recovered from the shock of Song Yuan's sudden death, remembered what Shen Ce had said to him, and hurriedly asked Xiao Fuzi to find Shen Ce from the tunnel.
Not to mention that Song Ke is now outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace, but he is not there, at this time, out of the Qianqing Palace, Gonggong Liu also feels that it is safer to take the tunnel than the palace gate.
Only at the moment when the words came out, his tongue turned, and he didn't ask Xiao Fuzi to tell Shen Ce that the emperor had died, only let him say that the emperor's situation was a little bad.
After all, the emperor's death is a shocking event, and it is not suitable for him to announce the world and not talk about it, looking at the emperor just now, it is clearly not like he died of illness, but like ...... It's like ...... This matter can only be clarified by waiting for Shen Shangshu to come to himself.
After Gonggong Liu explained his words to Xiao Fuzi clearly, he sent him to leave from the side hall, and then returned to Song Yuan's bedroom, and was alone in front of Song Yuan on the bed.
Until now, he still can't believe that the emperor really died like this.
Clearly...... Clearly...... During dinner, the emperor was still talking and laughing, and said that he was not convinced by the chess lost to Shen Shangshu today, and he would definitely win back a game tomorrow...... Why did he die all of a sudden?
Liu Gongcheng walked boldly to the dragon bed, wanting to take a closer look at the emperor when no one was there. Did you just read it wrong? The emperor actually just fainted......
"Father-in-law Liu, King Xu said that there is an urgent matter to report to the emperor, please ask Father-in-law Liu to be accommodating on his behalf!" He was watching intently, and the voice of the eunuch guarding the door suddenly sounded again, which shocked Gonggong Liu so much that he fell to the ground with a "poof".
"Father-in-law?" The eunuch guarding the gate heard a noise outside and asked in a low voice, "But the emperor is awake?" ā
"I didn't ...... No. Gonggong Liu endured the pain and got up from the ground, suppressed his anger and said, "Didn't I tell you just now that the emperor is already resting!" Rest! What are you arguing about? Alarm the emperor, can you afford to be guilty? ā
"Father-in-law, little one...... It's not that the small ones must come to disturb the emperor, it's really ...... It's really King Xu who is pressing outside, saying that he can't see the emperor tonight, so he has to ask the little one! The eunuch guarding the door said in a bitter voice outside.
"King Xu......" Gonggong Liu wanted to say, "In this palace, you want to listen to King Xu?" Or do you want to listen to the emperor? ā
When the words came to his mouth, he closed his mouth again, and said in a tone that was neither soft nor hard: "I don't care who is asking to see outside, but the emperor is now rested, and no one can disturb the emperor." ā
"Father-in-law Liu......" The eunuch who guarded the door still wanted to say.
Gonggong Liu interrupted him with a "snort", but did not speak again.
The eunuch guarding the door has been on an errand in the Qianqing Palace for a long time, and he also knows the temper of Gonggong Liu, knowing that although he always looks very easy-going with a smile on weekdays, he is actually often a hard stubble who says everything.
