Chapter 424: This Night
Seeing the King of Jin break in like this, Queen Wang's face turned pale.
The right hand was on the lower abdomen, that is, in the compartment, and he still unconsciously took half a step back. muttered, "So soon, is it coming?" ”
Nianfu is also beating wildly, is this the legendary forced palace?
Empress Dowager Mu, who hadn't left yet, turned around and said angrily when she heard the news, "Changxiao, what's the matter with you?" What do you want to do in front of your father's sickbed, who is making a noise and openly wielding a sword? ”
King Jin glanced at her again, and finally put away his sword and gave a salute, "Imperial grandmother, it's not that your grandson is arrogant, but that the current situation is critical, and there is no room for more politeness." Even the people around my father and emperor may be pretended, God knows how many rebellious ministers and thieves and remnants of the previous dynasty are still in this palace? For the sake of his father, and for the sake of the safety of the emperor's grandmother and concubines, the grandson had to lead troops into the palace to guard his father. Imperial grandmother, it's not early now, and you're tired today, so go back to the palace and rest first. ”
Seeing him say this, Empress Dowager Mu's face changed even more, "Changxiao, do you still want to drive me away?" I'll guard your father and the emperor, and I'm not going anywhere!" ”
While their ancestors and grandchildren were pulling, Nian Fu suddenly saw a corner of the red robe flashing slightly, it was Cheng Ping, the chief eunuch who had been serving in front of the dragon couch, and quietly flashed behind the screen next to them.
Seeing that Nianfu saw him, he didn't panic, just put his index finger on his lips slightly, and then continued to go out against the root of the wall.
Queen Wang turned her head and also noticed something strange here. Intentionally or unintentionally, he moved half a step to the side, blocking King Jin's view that King Jin might see Chengping.
Taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity, Chengping rushed out with a dodge and waist.
Nian Fu had a flash of inspiration in his mind. I know what he's going to do.
Decree!
If you want to force the palace, you must have the emperor's edict, and second, you must have the jade seal of the country, otherwise it is not enough to obey.
If King Jin wants to control the emperor, the next step will definitely be to snatch the jade seal.
Nianfu and Queen Wang glanced at each other again, and they could almost see the beating heart in each other's eyes. These scenes, which are only seen in novels on the stage, are really happening around them here and now!
And they have no chance to step down at all, and if they are not careful, they will be crushed.
Look at each other again. Two women who are not far apart in age regard each other as their comrades-in-arms at the same time. This moment. Whether it is the queen or Nianfu, they are never willing to be the king of Jin and inherit the unification in such a posture.
But. What else can they do?
Queen Wang thought for a moment. Then the decision was made.
Signal Nian Fu to wait here. She went out to see King Jin in person.
Helped up the Empress Dowager Mu, who was reluctant to leave, and said gently, "Queen Mother." Since King Jin has this filial piety, why don't you fulfill him? You are old, and you can't compare to their young people, so why don't you let a few princes accompany your father and do their filial piety, okay? ”
When she spoke, she secretly pinched the Empress Dowager Mu several times, and the obvious force was so obvious that even a piece of wood could feel it.
Empress Dowager Mu was worried and anxious about Nianfu like that, and she knew that Nianfu was her own junior, and she didn't dare to be really presumptuous to her, so she was so arrogant.
But in the face of the more arrogant grandson, her brain finally cleared up. I chewed on the meaning of the queen's words again, and understood.
"That's right, well, the mourning family will pass on several emperors and grandchildren, and take turns to arrange shifts so that they can serve your father and emperor."
Before the words fell, a clear voice sounded. Nianfu looked there and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why do you need to be summoned by the imperial grandmother? The grandson has arrived. ”
King Jin looked back, but his eyelids jumped a little suddenly. It was Gao Changxin, the king of Qi, who spoke, and Gao Changzhong, the eldest son of the emperor, who came in side by side.
In terms of qualifications, no one is more qualified to serve his father than the eldest son. Empress Dowager Mu and Empress Wang almost at the same time turned pale and settled down.
The King of Qi and the King of Chu were both dressed in wide robes and slow belts, and then looked at the King of Jin who was dressed in soldiers, and even Gao Changzhong, who had always been loyal, was a little displeased, "Second brother, what are you doing here?" Dressed like this, he made a big noise in front of his father's bed, did he want to force the palace? ”
The speculation in everyone's hearts was broken by this honest man.
King Jin's face stiffened, and he snorted, "How come?" I'm just afraid that there will be assassins in the palace, so I want to strengthen the guards in the palace. ”
Qi Wangyun said lightly, "That second brother is very attentive." Why don't you continue to guard outside, and my eldest brother and I will take a look at our father first." It's hard work. ”
King Jin was speechless for a while, it should not be good, it should not be good.
King Qi glanced at the side casually again, and then ordered, "Just add a shop in the side hall over there, and if our brothers are tired, they can go and rest." This compartment is prepared for the Queen Mother and the Empress, and as for the others, they can come over during the day. ”
"That's fine." Empress Dowager Mu glanced at a few more imperial grandchildren, and finally could let go of half of her heart.
In her opinion, as long as you stare at me and I stare at you, I can't be blamed. After all, they are still brothers, and they grew up together when they were children, can they still kill each other?
But the queen obviously didn't think so.
This is not only because she has no blood relationship with them, but also because she has just clearly seen that trace of remorse in the eyes of King Jin.
What is he regretting? Do you regret that you didn't take control of the big picture?
So what about the King of Qi and the King of Chu, who can guarantee that they don't have other thoughts?
If these princes with heavy troops suddenly launch a surprise attack, maybe Empress Dowager Mu can still rely on her bloodline and get their kind treatment. But why is it pitiful to be a stepmother?
Empress Wang has never been so sober for a moment, and she knows that there is only one person she can rely on, and that is the emperor.
Therefore, after bringing Nianfu back to her dormitory, she closed the door directly and asked, "Do you have any way to wake up the emperor?" As long as there is a glimmer of possibility, you have to give it a try. ”
Just now, when Nianfu helped her cover up Chengping's departure, Queen Wang knew that the county lord of Jiashan was submitting a letter of surrender to her with practical actions.
The Mu family is a relative. But she has nothing to do with all the princes, the emperor still has her, she has always been kind to the Mu family, and she has no reason not to help herself.
And more importantly, Nian Fu is also a smart person. should know if the emperor can wake up in time and how much impact it will have on the world.
Sure enough, without her bothering to explain, Nianfu told her the truth, "I do have a medicine in my hand that can revive a comatose person." But it has never been tested. I can't guarantee that it will work. If the queen wishes, I'll go back and get it now. ”
"No!" Queen Wang grabbed her hand and said softly, "There must be people from King Jin everywhere outside right now." It's so unsafe for you to walk like this. We've got to figure it out. She can't be found out. ”
The more dangerous the situation, the more it can bring out the full potential of the person. Especially women, their innate intuition and sixth sense made them discuss for a long time. before making a decision.
Little by little, the moon receded from the shallower and lighter clouds, and in its place the morning star was shining brightly.
Before the fifth watch was finished, and before the people woke up, a decree was sent to Concubine Zheng Guifei's palace.
There was such a big chaos yesterday, and Concubine Zheng naturally wanted to bring Shou Ning, who came to see the dragon boat, back to the palace. And Shou Ning heard that there were also people from the Ping Palace, so of course he wanted to find Luo Xiaoyan, so he naturally brought the people from the broken garden back to the palace.
Although it was only arranged in the outermost part of the palace, it allowed them to escape the catastrophe without any impact. But after all, the palace is not a place for them to stay for a long time, so although the queen's decree is a bit chicken, it is also reasonable.
As the lord of the six palaces, she has the right to be in charge of all matters in the palace, so she can naturally order Concubine Zheng Guifei to send these people out of the palace immediately before dawn. At this time, it is also a reasonable fact to send a few palace maids and eunuchs to accompany them, and by the way, to greet their relatives and appease people's hearts.
"Packed up?"
"Alright."
Seeing the "Nianfu" and "palace maids" who had changed into palace clothes coming out from behind the screen, Queen Wang was very satisfied.
Don't think that grease and powder are not a skill, some ingenuity can make people unrecognizable, or become unprovoked similar.
asked Yujiao to pretend to be Nianfu here, but Nianfu changed into a palace maid's costume, and mixed out of the palace with Yujiao and other palace maids to take medicine and treat Gao Xian.
In the current situation, some things are done in the open, and it is better to hide in the dark, so as to give people a head-on blow and achieve a surprise effect.
It's just that before leaving, looking at those busy imperial doctors, Nian Fu suddenly thought that he should bring some good medicine to the old lady. This is easy, and the queen ordered someone to pick it up immediately.
While waiting, Queen Wang went and returned, and temporarily stuffed a wax pill for Nianfu, "I just remembered something, help me bring this to the Wang Sheren, if it doesn't work, it will be destroyed immediately." It must not fall into the hands of a third person, you know? ”
Wang Cang has always been good friends with them, and this busy Nianfu will naturally help.
After all, Wang Cang is of the same clan as the queen, and he is the most promising officialdom rookie among the younger generation.
So Nianfu didn't have the slightest suspicion, and he didn't pay attention to the strange and solemn expression when Queen Wang handed over the wax pill to her.
Leaving the palace went smoothly.
When he saw Luo Wuqing'er, so many familiar faces were intact, Nianfu endured the excitement in his heart, lowered his gaze, and didn't pay attention to them one by one.
The palace rules are strict, and no one dares to make a loud noise, not even a cough. Silently got into the car, silently walking all the way with the thin starlight.
For fear of arousing suspicion, the group had to act collectively.
went to the broken garden to send people away, Su Cheng and the others obviously didn't sleep all night, and they kept guarding the gate, and their eyes were red. Seeing that his family had returned safely, they were all relieved.
Especially the Wu family, after staying up all night, she saw her three children return safely, and she couldn't support it anymore and fainted. But fortunately, there are already medicinal materials brought from Dr. Gao here, and it is not difficult to treat them.
Nianfu took out the medicine box, handed it to Su Cheng, and said in a suppressed voice, "This is the county lord who specially begged the queen to come from the Tai Hospital to treat the old lady." ”
Su Cheng looked at her again and recognized her. He was the most astute, and immediately asked in a pun, "The old lady is already fine, is the county lord okay in the palace?" ”
Nian Fu said, "The county lord is fine, I only care about the old lady's critical situation, and I tell you not to take it lightly." ”
Su Cheng's expression instantly became a little solemn, looked at her again, and said in a deep voice, "I will be careful, and please take care of the county lord." ”
Remember the blessing and retire. (To be continued......)
