The inner supervisor carefully took out a neatly folded pair of paper that was hidden by the flesh and presented it to Yu Wenrui.

Yu Wenrui opened it, and when he looked at it, he recognized that it was the paper used by the Empress Dowager of Shoukang Palace. The look on her face became more solemn, and she didn't care about etiquette, and unfolded as quickly as she could-

Tongjing's quick return to Beijing.

There are only six simple words, the gesture is unstable, and the edges of the handwriting tremble violently, so you can imagine how urgent and sick the writer was at that time.

This is the Empress Dowager's handwriting, Yu Wenrui recognizes. In particular, there is also the private seal of the Empress Dowager under the word. In this way, there is no doubt about it.

Yu Wenrui's heart sank a little more.

This is the will of her and Jing Yan to return to Beijing quickly, from which it can be inferred how serious the Empress Dowager's current illness is, I am afraid it is...... It won't last long. And she and Jing Yan are not in Beijing, only auspicious is still young, North Zheng Chuping, the royal car is outside, the hearts of the people in Beijing are inevitably unstable, and it is very easy to change and become chaotic.

Yu Wenrui has been an emperor for many years, and he knows the joints when he thinks about them. She handed the note to Jing Yan, and she still had something to ask the inner supervisor.

Jing Yan took it, and at a glance, he caught a glimpse of the word "Jing's", and couldn't help but feel pain.

Sure enough, she is worthy of being a person in the world of Zeng's mother, and she is worthy of being the daughter of the Duan family...... Jing Yan smiled bitterly: He is seriously ill and his life is in danger, and he is still thinking about the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he has not forgotten it...... Raw points!

Thinking like this, Jing Yan felt even more piercing.

She guessed that the Empress Dowager did not want to see her, but she specially made herself return with worry-free, which must have a deep meaning.

The faint sense of uneasiness in Jing Yan's heart became even worse.

I only heard the inner supervisor replying to Yu Wenrui's questioning: "...... It was a month ago that the Empress Dowager suddenly coughed up blood for half a night......"

He said, as if he recalled the scene at that time, and still had palpitations, "Since that day, her old man has been lingering on the sickbed, and the adults in the Tai Hospital have used a lot of medicine, but there is no improvement, and her old man is getting thinner and thinner. ”

"Why did the Empress Dowager suddenly vomit blood?" Yu Wenrui asked with a frown.

"This ...... This slave really doesn't know. The inner prisoner hung his head.

Yuwen Rui looked at his expression and knew that there must be something inside.

"When you left Beijing, who served by the side of the queen mother?" Jing Yan asked suddenly.

"It's Lord Shi." The inner supervisor thought that the Queen Mother was asking which imperial doctor was using medicine.

"Shi Ran?"

"Yes."

Jing Yan is clear. She knew that in terms of medical skills, the offerings in the Tai Hospital were not as good as Shi Ran's, but what she wanted to ask most was not this-

"What about the white-haired mother-in-law next to the queen mother? Her medical skills are unmatched. Jing Yan said.

The prisoner was stunned for a moment. He has lived in the palace for decades, and his brain has long been polished to a clear light, and he immediately understood what Jing Yan was referring to, and hurriedly replied: "That mother-in-law is not by the side of the Queen Mother. ”

Jing Yan and Yu Wenrui glanced at each other, seemed to have an understanding, and asked, "When did that mother-in-law leave?" ”

"About...... More than a month ago. The inner supervisor replied honestly.

That's right. The medicine mother-in-law left for some reason, or went missing again, and the queen mother was so angry that she became seriously ill!

Jing Yan felt a pain in his heart: the word love is the most hurtful, and even the toughness of the queen mother can't get rid of it.

"Without further ado, we have to get back to Beijing as soon as possible." After waving off others, Jing Yan said to Yu Wenrui.

Yu Wenrui naturally knew that the matter was already burning his eyebrows. One and both of them knew that if it weren't for the terminal illness, the Empress Dowager would never have taken such a risk. If you go back late, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to see even the last face of the Queen Mother. The second is related to whether the Great Zhou Dynasty is stable, and if it is not handled properly, it may be exploited by the gangsters, and changes in Beijing may cause a big chaos.

Therefore, this matter can neither be rushed nor panicked.

Yu Wenrui frowned, looking at Jing Yan's pale face because of his weakness distressedly, "You really want to rush back with me?" ”

Jing Yan nodded and said, "Naturally." Since the Queen Mother's message is mentioned, there must be her deep intentions, and we must not disobey it. ”

"But your body ......," Yu Wenrui was worried.

"How can I be so vulnerable?" Jing Yan comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I'm afraid that the queen mother will ...... her."

"I know." Yu Wenrui's face was worried.

She knew what Jing Yan was thinking, and she was also afraid, afraid that she would not see the Empress Dowager for the last time.

"Then let's go back to Beijing together," Yu Wenrui finally decided, "You and I will ride together, and I will take care of you." Bring a few more horses and change them on the way. ”

Jing Yan was embarrassed: "You don't have to ...... You don't have to ride together! I can ...... myself Yes......"

With the entourage of guards, in full view of everyone, she and Yu Wenrui ...... Riding together? Jing Yan really felt that he had no face to see people.

"No!" Yu Wenrui didn't agree, "If you don't ride, I won't allow you to go back with me!" ”

Jing Yan concluded. Why did she think that Yu Wenrui seemed to be deliberate?

This time, she really wronged Yu Wenrui. Yu Wenrui's heart was in chaos at this time, how to arrange soldiers and horses, how to rush back quietly, how to stabilize the situation after returning to Beijing, and how to deal with it if the Empress Dowager has three longs and two shorts......

There were too many things tangled in her head, so she didn't have time to think about whether it was appropriate for Jing Yan to return to Beijing with her. In the following days, Yu Wenrui regretted that he did not put his heart into stopping Jing Yan from doing his filial piety. That's an afterword.

Since he has decided to stealth in micro-service, the army in front of him must be handed over to the appropriate people, and Yu Wenrui can rest assured.

He Chong must escort her and Jing Yan back, as for the rest of the courtiers, Yu Wenrui's most trusted person, the military general is none other than Wu Bin, and Wenchen is naturally Yin He. So, she hurriedly announced the two of them and informed them of the current emergency. Both were surprised.

"My army will be handed over to Erqing. I hope that Erqing will discuss everything more, and don't disappoint my expectations. Yu Wenrui said sincerely.

Yin He sighed at the emperor's wholehearted trust, and resolutely agreed: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's deep grace!" ”

Wu Bin actually wanted to escort Yu Wenrui back to Beijing, and he was not at ease on the way to the mountains. But he also knew that leading the army to properly serve as a local class teacher would have a heavier responsibility, so he said angrily: "Your Majesty rest assured! I will definitely assist Mr. Yin to handle this matter well! ”

Yu Wenrui was a little relieved. She instructed the two of them that the army should still march according to the original distance and time, and the royal horses should still be the same, making it look like the emperor and the queen mother were still in the army, and never leak the slightest news. In particular, it is necessary to keep an eye on the remnants of the Northern Zheng Yang clan and not allow them to go beyond it.

Both of them wrote them down.

Yu Wenrui took Jing Yan, led by He Chong to escort a hundred elites, and even took the henchman of Shoukang Palace, disguised himself, galloped all the way, and rushed to the capital.

It wasn't until he saw the gate of the Great Zhou Capital from afar that Yu Wenrui's heart that had been hanging for a few days was a little calmer-

Inside and outside the city gates, the people and merchants who came and went were no different from the old days; The number of guards on the tower of the city is also the original number, and there is not the slightest chaos...... It can be seen that everything is fine in Jingzhong, and there is no thing she is most worried about.

"Yan'er, what do you think?" Yu Wenrui grabbed the reins and asked Jing Yan softly who was surrounded by her.

Jing Yan has not recovered from a serious illness, she is neither as deep as Yu Wenrui who has a deep internal force to protect her body, nor like the sergeants who are used to guarding the military career, and this journey is almost half her life. Fortunately, Yu Wenrui always hugged her, and from time to time lost some true qi to her, if she really rode alone, I am afraid that she would have fallen off the horse a long time ago.

"I'm fine." Jing Yan tried to squeeze out a smile, and cold sweat was already on his pale forehead.

"Be strong!" Yu Wenrui snorted, not knowing whether to complain or feel distressed.

"Hold on for a moment longer, it's coming soon!" Yu Wenrui said, hugged Jing Yan tightly, clamped the horse's belly, and galloped into the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the gate of the city were startled by a horse that was galloping from afar, and before they could react, the man on the horse had already ridden past them. The people inside and outside the gates were also taken aback.

Yu Wenrui was so anxious that he didn't care about this, he only knew how to run towards the nearest door of the Forbidden Palace. After her, she rushed to his generals to appease the people.

The guards guarding the palace gate were even more surprised that the queen mother and the emperor appeared in front of them at the same time.

Isn't the royal car still on the way? Thinking like this, Yu Wenrui galloped into the palace gate without saying a word. More than 100 years after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenrui dared to gallop on a horse in the Great Inner Palace, and Yu Wenrui could be called the first one.

I have to say that she did an excellent job of secrecy along the way. She returned to the capital quietly in this way, to everyone's surprise.

Galloping to the front of Shoukang Palace, Yuwen Rui grabbed the reins of the horse. That war horse was already the fourth one to change along the way, even if it was a high-grade military horse, it couldn't bear such a desperate run, and its body was washed up and down, and its hair was soaked with sweat, becoming wisps of it.

Yu Wenrui jumped off the horse, and carefully hugged Jing Yan and dismounted.

The waiters of Shoukang Palace had already greeted him, and Yu Wenrui didn't care about their courtesy, so he took a big step and walked inside. Because it was too hot, she tore off her cloak and threw it at them.

"Serve the Queen Mother well!" She dropped a sentence and hurried forward.

Shi Ran was serving in the side hall of Shoukang Palace, and when he heard the chaos outside, he guessed that the emperor was back, and he was busy welcoming him.

In the past half a month, he has hardly slept a peaceful night, his official robe is full of wrinkles, his face is unkempt, and his two eye sockets are deeply sunken.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you're back! Shi Ran exclaimed.

When Yu Wenrui saw him like this, his heart sank even more: If Shi Ran can be like this, how serious should the queen mother's illness be?

She grabbed Shi Ran's body that was about to bow down and salute, and said hurriedly: "Don't do these false salutes!" What happened to the Queen Mother? ”

Shi Ran's face was gloomy, and he stopped talking.

Yu Wenrui hurried forward and said, "I'm back, what are you afraid of?" Not beat around the bush! ”

"Yes," Shi Ran trotted a few steps to keep up with the emperor, "I'm just afraid...... I'm just afraid of her old man...... Bad luck and little ......"

Yu Wenrui's heart ached, he suddenly stopped his steps, calmed down, Fang eased up, and said in a deep voice: "I went to see the queen mother...... The Queen Mother is behind, she is weak and filial, you tell her so much, don't stimulate her. ”

Shi Ran paused, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Yes, the minister knows." 166 Reading Network
