102 The Assassination of the Holy Lord (2)
Although the news of Shengshang's assassination was ordered by the Queen Mother to block the news, many people in the big families in the capital still knew about it. Liang Guogong returned to the house, and Wu hurriedly greeted Liang Guogong and gave Liang Guogong wide clothes. Before Liang Guogong spoke, Wu didn't dare to squeak, especially Liang Guogong's face was not good. Liang Mingda has not yet been found, "Madam, there is no whereabouts of Da'er yet?" Liang Guogong asked Wu, but of course Wu didn't know.
"Grandpa, Da'er is very measured on weekdays, and the concubine believes that this time Da'er will definitely be haunted, and I believe that it won't be long before Da'er will come back by herself." Wu helped Liang Mingda speak, hoping that Liang Guogong would not be angry with Liang Mingda. "I know that Da'er is measured on weekdays, but if Da'er goes out of the city, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for the time being." I can't come back for the time being, what does this mean, Wu looked at Liang Guogong in surprise.
Liang Guogong did not continue to talk about this topic, "Madam, you try not to go out recently, stay in the house well." If there is nothing to do, then discipline and discipline Mingzhu more. "Grandpa, don't worry, the concubine knows." Liang Guogong is not in the mood to have dinner now, so he simply eats a few bites. Then he put down the chopsticks in his hand: "Madam, I'll go to the study tonight, and you can settle it earlier." ”
Getting up and leaving Wu's house, Wu had a bad premonition in his heart, if there was something Wu didn't know. Liang Guogong concealed it from the Wu family, "Mama, you hurry up and find someone to investigate, is there something big happening in the capital?" Mama quickly left the Wu family's courtyard and went out to inquire about the news. At this time, the Wu clan sent out to the military department Shangshu Mansion and the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion came back to inform the Wu family, Chen Xuan and Song Nandong did not know Liang Mingda's whereabouts, and they were still very surprised that Liang Mingda had not come back until today.
Especially Song Nandong heard that Liang Mingda had not returned to his house today, and wanted to come to Liang Guogong's Mansion to make it clear to the Wu family. But later, he was invited by the military department to discuss something, and Wu waved his hand: "Okay, I know, you go down!" "Now even Liang Mingda's two good brothers, Chen Xuan and Song Nandong, don't know Liang Mingda's whereabouts, so it means that Liang Mingda really has something important to do! The son who crawled out of Wu's belly, Wu naturally understands, Wu now just needs to wait patiently, no news is good news.
The queen mother squinted and listened to the reports of the guards, and the second prince kept kneeling at the gate of the palace, refusing to leave. On the contrary, the eldest prince heard that the queen mother would not let him enter the palace, so he turned around and left. The second prince knelt at the gate of the palace and must see the saint. The third prince, the fourth prince and the second princess are kneeling outside the holy palace now, and they really can't wait one by one, right? The Queen Mother is not in the mood to think about them on the good side now.
Why hasn't Mama come back yet, it's not early, and the Queen Mother doesn't have the heart to have dinner. The chef of the imperial dining room waited outside the door to set a meal for the Queen Mother, but was kicked out by the Queen Mother. Now they don't dare to leave, they have been waiting outside the holy palace, if the Queen Mother is hungry, it is their fault. The county lord of Changping was a little strange why there were so many guards in the palace, and went to ask the princess of Changping. Princess Changping had a straight face: "Changping, now the palace is not peaceful, you have to be more careful, don't go out randomly, remember no!" “
The palace is not peaceful, "Mother, what's wrong in the palace?" The county lord of Changping asked Princess Changping in a whisper, and Princess Changping didn't know the specifics, but she only vaguely felt that it had something to do with the saint. Otherwise, the Queen Mother would not have left the dormitory and never returned until now, and she is still staying in the holy dormitory. The queen and all the concubines were driven back to their own palace by the queen mother, the third prince, the fourth prince and the second princess knelt outside the holy palace, not to mention, the second prince was still kneeling at the gate of the palace, and now the palace is heavily guarded, to the point where it has never been.
No one dared not listen to the Queen Mother's instructions, "You don't want why, you just need to remember the words of the concubine." Hurry back to the dormitory for dinner, and don't worry about anything. "Princess Changping told the county lord of Changping uneasily, but the county lord of Changping was really curious." Mother, you sue me, I promise not to say it. Good no good? "If Qi Yuxian is in the palace, they can talk to each other and find a way to know.
It's just that the county lord of Changping is left alone, and the county lord of Changping really doesn't know how to investigate. can only look at Princess Changping, "Changping, now you don't listen to what the mother concubine says, right?" Princess Changping This is a precursor to anger, and the lord of Changping hurriedly got up: "Mother, mother, I listen to it, I listen to it, I will hurry back to the palace for dinner now, mother, I want to retire." ”
The county lord of Changping didn't want to make Princess Changping angry anymore, so he hurriedly left Princess Changping's bedroom. Princess Changping raised her head and looked at the faintly visible moon in the sky, hoping that King Changping's letter would arrive quickly. Princess Changping doesn't have to suffer so much, if she could, Princess Changping would rather not bring the lord of Changping to the capital. will not encounter these things, there are these troubles, maybe it is because with the long days that King Changping has been together, many things King Changping has helped Princess Changping think about it, and Princess Changping does not have to worry so much at all.
After leaving King Changping, Princess Changping knew that she missed King Changping very much, and her days with him were really comfortable. Thinking that Princess Changping fell into a faint memory, the county lord of Changping returned to the dormitory and looked at the dinner on the table with his cheeks in his hands, which was made according to the recipe left by Qi Yuxian when he left. The county lord of Changping saw that it was not early, and he wanted to eat quickly, Qi Yuxian said, he should have dinner earlier, and it was best not to eat anything before going to bed for an hour.
I was very comforted in my heart, Princess Changping didn't have to worry so much, I thought that the lord of Qingning must have something special. When the Queen Mother saw her mother coming in, she hurriedly asked with her eyes, what is going on? Mama walked to the side of the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, the Lord of Qingning is not in the house, the slave is incompetent, please atone for the Queen Mother." "The Queen Mother originally hoped that Qi Yuxian would be able to enter the palace to check the pulse of the saint, but now it's okay, Qi Yuxian is not in the house.
No, why is Qi Yuxian not in the mansion, "The county lord of Qingning is not in the mansion, so where did the lord of Qingning go?" The Queen Mother subconsciously asked, "Queen Mother, the county lord went out of the city to find herbs." The Queen Mother nodded, this is possible, every time Qi Yuxian gave the Queen Mother the herbs, it was Qi Yuxian who went outside the city to find it herself. They are all excellent herbs, and the Queen Mother can understand it, but now is a critical moment.
"Wait until tomorrow, you will take the guards to the county lord's mansion to find the county lord, if the county lord is in the mansion, let her enter the palace quickly. If the county lord has not returned, you will go out of the city to find the county lord, be sure to find the county lord, remember no! All the hopes of the Queen Mother are now on Qi Yuxian's body, and Mama nodded seriously: "The slave knows." The Queen Mother can only look forward to tomorrow, when Qi Yuxian enters the palace.
Mama said cautiously: "Queen Mother, it's not early, you should hurry up and eat, and the slave maid will order the meal." The Queen Mother waved her hand: "No need, where does the mourning family have the heart to eat now, you let them all go down." "Queen Mother, the slave knows that you are worried about the saint's body, but if you don't have dinner, you will hurt your body. If the saint knows, he will definitely feel distressed, and before the saint wakes up, the queen mother, you can't hurt your body, you just listen to the slave and maid, and use some dinner. ”
Indeed, the Queen Mother wants to support the Holy One to come to her senses. "Alright, you go pass the meal!" Mama breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face: "Queen Mother, you wait, the slave will go now." Mama quickly went out to let the imperial dining room pass the meal, and the queen mother ate some pastries and drank pork liver soup. Mama was relieved, just persuaded the Queen Mother to go back to the palace to sleep, let Mama guard the saint, the Queen Mother was unwilling, she wanted to stay in the saint's bedroom to take care of the saint, and the imperial doctor had already cleaned the wound on the saint's back. But after all, he still didn't find out what poison was on the sword, and now he didn't dare to prescribe a prescription to the saint without authorization.
If she could, the Queen Mother would really like to cut off the heads of these quacks one by one. I raise them on weekdays, but when it comes to the critical time, it is useless at all. It's not as good as Qi Yuxian, but the Queen Mother knows that she can't kill at this time, and she has to accumulate virtue for the saint. And today's Queen Mother also asked clearly, last night a man in black rushed into the saint's dormitory and assassinated the saint, and the saint faced the man in black alone for a long time.
The guards outside the dormitory came in, and when the guards came in, they asked the men in black who were besieging them. In the end, the man in black was injured and left, but when the guards were lax, he stabbed the sword hard in the back of the saint, especially the poison on the sword, and the queen mother was eager to break the assassin's body into pieces. But there is no way, for now, the poison in the body of the saint is still relieved, this is a top priority, and the pursuit of the assassin cannot be relaxed.
Who is so rampant that he dares to assassinate the saint in the palace, and he is bold. The Queen Mother held the hand of the saint until the next morning, and opened her eyes in a daze. Shengshang's face became more and more pale, and the Queen Mother hurriedly got up and ordered Mama to go out to find Qi Yuxian to enter the palace to ask for Shengshang's pulse. Mama took the guards out of the city, so that the queen and Wang Guifei and others had some suspicions, and in the end, Concubine Xiao guessed, the queen mother must go to Qi Yuxian, hoping that Qi Yuxian can heal the saint, after all, Concubine Xiao now hopes that the saint can wake up safely.
The position of the crown prince is still hanging, and in the morning, I heard that the queen mother asked the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince to go to the court to help deal with state affairs. The second princess was urged by the queen mother to go back to her bedroom last night, and it was useless to stay in the saint's bedroom, and she couldn't help the saint, but the second princess's filial piety was kept in mind. Li Miaoyu looked at the Queen Mother reluctantly: "Imperial grandmother, that Yu'er has retired." ”
Early in the morning, Qi Yuxian checked Liang Mingda's wound and recovered well, "County Lord, can I walk around the ground now?" "Liang Mingda is anxious to go back to his home, and his father and mother must be anxious. Qi Yuxian thought for a while and nodded: "Second son Liang, you can be, but you have to be careful not to touch the water." You can't make big moves, and you must be careful about the wound. As a doctor, Qi Yuxian told Liang Mingda.
"Thank you to the county lord of Qingning, Weichen will firmly remember the words of the county lord." Liang Mingda gestured at Qi Yuxian, it's good to remember it. But at this time, Lianxiang hurried back, "Girl, girl, it's a big deal, it's a big deal." Qi Yuxian looked at the lotus fragrance who entered the house, and made a straight face: "Frizzy, what kind of system!" "Girl, the slave knows that she is wrong, but the slave really has something important to tell you."
Lianxiang's usual temperament has changed a lot, "What the hell is going on?" Qi Yuxian's curiosity made Lian Xiang panic like this, "Girl, the city gate is now blocked. The city gate was blocked, Qi Yuxian frowned slightly, they were going back now, "Why are you blocking the city gate?" Hurriedly asked Lianxiang, Lianxiang shook her head: "Girl, the slave maid wants to come back and tell the girl, and she forgets to inquire for a while, and please don't worry, the slave and maid will go now." With Qi Yuxian's acquiescence, Lian Xiang hurriedly left the courtyard.
Liang Mingda didn't know why, there was always an ominous premonition, as if something bad was about to happen. But Liang Mingda couldn't guess it, he couldn't predict it, so he could only wait anxiously. The two of them fell into deep thought, and soon Lianxiang hurried back and told Qi Yuxian and Liang Mingda that the saint had been assassinated. A glimmer of light flashed in Liang Mingda's deep eyes, the palace was so heavily guarded, the saint could still be assassinated.
I think that the assassin is not an ordinary person, and he should have premeditated. "Lianxiang, when can you enter the city?" You can't stay out of the city all the time, that's not the way to go. Lianxiang shook her head: "Girl, the slave didn't find out. "Keep your head down, it's all your own incompetence. Of course, you can't blame Lianxiang, "Is there any news from the Holy One now, what happened to the Holy One, and is there any injury?" ”
Lianxiang whispered: "Girl, I heard that the saint has not gone to the court, the queen mother has strengthened the vigilance of the palace, and the state affairs above the court will be handed over to several princes to deal with." If there is anything you don't understand, it seems to tell the Queen Mother directly, let the Queen Mother decide, and the slaves and maids also secretly listen to the people's discussions. "The specific truth or falsehood, Lianxiang is not very clear. Qi Yuxian nodded, if this was the case, then Qi Yuxian would not be able to stay outside the city, and she would have to rush back to the house urgently. "Lianxiang, you hurry up and pack your things, let's leave immediately!"
Qi Yuxian quickly instructed Lianxiang, and Lianxiang raised her head: "Girl, you can't enter the city now." "Even if they have three heads and six arms, they can't go back, doesn't Qi Yuxian know?" Lianxiang, I'll let you go, you just hurry up! Lian Xiang nodded again and again and agreed to leave the house, but Liang Mingda never spoke, and was silent. Second son Liang, your life-saving grace, Qing Ning will remember it in his heart, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely repay Second Prince Liang. Now that the situation is urgent, Qingning is one step ahead, and I ask Liang Ergongzi to forgive me. ”
Liang Mingda squinted: "I don't know that the county lord of Qingning is in such a hurry to go back, isn't there something important?" "Of course there are some things that Qi Yuxian can't tell Liang Mingda," Liang Ergongzi laughed, but it has been out for a long time, and the grandmother in the house should also be worried. It's not too early, I should also set off, Liang Ergongzi take care. If you have a chance in the future, see you in the capital. As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave, when Liang Mingda's calm voice came from behind him: "Lord Qingning, please stay, Liang still has something to say." ”
Stopped, but Qi Yuxian didn't turn around, Liang Mingda said lightly: "Now that there are guards guarding the city gate, I don't know how the county lord of Qingning can enter the city?" I don't know why, Liang Mingda blurted out. Thank you Liang Er Gongzi for your concern, but well! The mountain people only have a clever plan and say goodbye. Soon Qi Yuxian left the house, and Liang Mingda looked at Qi Yuxian's disappeared back and fell into deep thought.
Since Qi Yuxian was anxious to go back, Liang Mingda should go back, but the wounds on his body were still faintly painful. Liang Mingda has always been patient, but now I am afraid that he will have to go back earlier, this is not a place to stay for a long time. The coachman's carriage was already waiting outside, and Lianxiang helped Qi Yuxian into the carriage. "Girl, how are we going to get into the city in a moment?" Lianxiang cautiously asked Qi Yuxian, and Qi Yuxian hooked her lips: "Lianxiang, don't you believe me?" ”
"Girl, how could it be? Of course the slave believes in the girl, but the girl, now there are guards in the city, and they don't give out of the city, and they don't let them enter the city, can we go in? Qi Yuxian stretched out her jade hand and flicked Lianxiang's brain: "Silly Lianxiang, you have forgotten my identity." "Yes, girl! Why didn't the slave and maid think that you are the lord of Qingning County, who would dare not let you enter the city. ”
Lian Xiang finally thought of it, and smiled wryly, hoping that Qi Yuxian would not dislike herself. Qi Yuxian smiled lightly and said nothing, didn't pay attention to Lianxiang anymore, and thought about other things in her mind. The grandmother beside the queen mother took the guards out of the palace early in the morning to Qi Yuxian's house to find Qi Yuxian, and Chen Mama said with some guilt: "Mama, I'm really embarrassed, the county lord hasn't returned to the house yet?" "Yesterday, the grandmother beside the Queen Mother has already come, and today it is here again.
There must be something important, but now Mama Chen is still worried about Qi Yuxian and Lianxiang, and she has not returned home until now. Mama frowned: "The county lord of Qingning hasn't returned to the house yet?" "Mama, don't worry, the slave has already sent someone out to find the county lord, and there must be news from the county lord soon." If Mama doesn't mind, she can sit and wait, otherwise, when the county lord comes back, the slave maid will immediately let the county lord enter the palace. ”
I don't know what Mama means, Mama Chen can only figure it out carefully. If I had done something else, of course I could have gone back, but not now. Shengyi has been unconscious until now, and the Queen Mother has no heart to eat, so she finally ate a few bites of breakfast. If you don't find the county lord of Qingning again, and the saint doesn't wake up, I'm afraid the queen mother's body won't be able to hold on.
"Since the county lord hasn't returned to the mansion yet, then we'll go to the county lord." Soon Mama left with the guards, and Mama Chen was worried and folded her hands: "Madam, you have a spirit under the spring, but you want to bless the eldest girl to be safe!" Soon they arrived at the city gate, and the guards quickly stopped the carriage: "Stop, who are you?" The guards glanced at the coachman, the coachman did not hesitate, Qi Yuxian ordered, if the guards interrogated, they would directly tell them, Qi Yuxian's identity: "The car is the county lord of Qingning." ”
The county lord of Qingning, the guards were transferred from the palace, of course they knew the county lord of Qingning. But there was some hesitation, how could the county lord of Qingning go out of the city, "You guys are waiting here!" The guard turned around and said, "Girl, isn't the second son of Liang still outside the city, why didn't we go into the city with the second son of Liang?" Lian Xiang suddenly thought, isn't it good that they went into the city, but they still left Liang Mingda in Zhuangzi?
Especially Liang Mingda is also Qi Yuxian's life-saving benefactor, "Shhh, don't talk now, I'll talk about it later." Qi Yuxian didn't have the heart to answer Lianxiang, and Lianxiang lowered her head knowingly. Soon the guards came back, "You can't enter the city now, the Queen Mother ordered that no one can enter the city, and please forgive the county lord of Qingning!" "The coachman didn't expect that they knew Qi Yuxian's identity and didn't let Qi Yuxian enter the city. (To be continued.) )
