Chapter Ninety-Eight: Palace Change
It's another year in the blink of an eye.
Helian Xuan, who had already set off to return to the capital, should have arrived a long time ago, but unfortunately because of some delays on the way, he couldn't even rush back for the New Year's Festival, let alone Chongyang.
This is the first time that Rong Le has not spent the Double Ninth Festival and birthday with Helian Xuan after coming to the palace.
This year, because Rong Le was pregnant, and the matter in Jiangnan, he did not return to Hezhou, but he saved the toss back and forth, but the winter in the capital was a little too cold.
And Rong Le doesn't have to enter the palace this year, after all, Rong Le is already nine months old, and it is impossible to enter the palace to toss, and Concubine Hu Xian also specially passed the word.
Therefore, only Mu Qingling, with those who are qualified to enter the palace in the house, enters the palace together.
Helian Zhao sat in the middle of the head, with a bright yellow dragon robe on his body, and all the concubines on the side, all of whom were carefully dressed, especially the younger ones, who were looking forward to getting Helian Zhao's attention.
Next, there are the princes and their daughters.
In fact, the New Year's banquet is almost the same every year, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, talking and laughing.
It's just that as Helian Zhao gets older, there are a lot of complicated things in front of the eyes of the prince and ministers.
Especially this year, there is a feeling that the wind is about to rise.
Halfway through the New Year's banquet, fireworks began to be set off.
If you talk about fireworks, it is worthy of being carefully studied by the Ministry of Industry, and it is much better than the folk ones.
Even Helian Zhao also watched it with relish, that is, the fireworks have been set off for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be smoke and dust, and the smell of fireworks will continue to spread.
But fortunately, the Ministry of Labor has worked hard, and although the smoke and dust are still a little choking, they have a little more fragrance.
It's just that the smoke and the fragrance are together, although I feel better at first, but after smelling it for a long time, I gradually feel a little dizzy.
There is no queen in the palace, so Concubine Shu has always been by Helian Zhao's side, and no one has any opinions.
Concubine Shu's body was also average, and when she smelled some smoke and dust at this time, her face turned a little pale and she became dizzy.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is unwell, please allow the concubine to retire first"
As the emperor's favorite concubine, such a behavior is very rude.
Helian Zhao is happy when he is happy, and he is inevitably a little disappointed, but he will not be unhappy about people who have spoiled him for so many years.
In addition, Concubine Shu's face was indeed not very good, so she granted Concubine Shu's request.
"Let's go"
"Concubine Xie Xià"
Concubine Shu got up and saluted, but as soon as she got up, she almost fell to the ground, but the emperor was quick to pick up Concubine Shu and hold her in his arms.
The emperor frowned, although Concubine Shu's body was not good, it was not like this.
"Someone, send..."
The emperor just wanted to say that he would send Concubine Shu back to the palace and let the imperial doctor take a look, but as soon as the words came out, he was also dizzy.
Gao Jin has rich experience and immediately knows that the problem is big.
"Come, escort, protect the emperor"
Immediately, some guards rushed out, holding knives in front of the emperor, one by one, it seemed that something was wrong, and their expressions were a little dazed, but they still insisted on standing in place and defending the emperor.
With the occurrence of accidents, there were constantly ministers, internal prisons, slaves and maids, etc., who fell to the ground one after another, and the things in their hands were also scattered on the ground.
Fortunately, there were no casualties for the time being, and they were all unconscious or semi-comatose.
Although the emperor is not in a good state, his consciousness is still awake, because he is in a high position, and his eyes are cold and looking at the chaos below.
The emperor finally set his eyes on several princes, even the crown prince did not fall behind, and looked at the past one by one.
"Why, the plan succeeded, don't you dare to stand up?"
The emperor's voice was very weak, and it obviously took a lot of effort, but no one dared to underestimate the emperor at this time.
"Ahem, anticlimactic, unbearable"
The emperor said lightly, although his tone was calm, but the ridicule in it was sufficient.
Finally, someone stepped up.
"The father is wise, the eldest brother is so bold, he dares to murder his father, and he wants to hide it, so the son will avenge his father"
The emperor looked at the person who stood up and did not speak.
"Hehe, I didn't think about it, the second brother still has the guts"
The prince chuckled, even though he was also out of state, but he still didn't panic.
At this time, King Hao's face was gloomy.
I didn't expect that the matter had come to this point, and the emperor and the crown prince could still be so calm.
But then I was relieved, anyway, after tonight, I had the final say.
The corners of King Hao's mouth rose, "Why is it not as good as the eldest brother, dare to murder his father"
"But fortunately, the second brother stopped me in time, my father was only seriously injured, and the eldest brother was stabbed to death by my father."
King Hao looked at the emperor and the crown prince proudly, and as for the other princes, they didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Oh, by the way, there is also the third brother, who was killed by the eldest brother, what does the eldest brother think, this is also revenge, isn't it?"
"Of course, the sixth brother is also rebellious, so naturally he will be killed"
The more the emperor listened, the more disagreeable he became, and looked at King Hao with an angry face.
"Evil Animals"
King Hao was stunned, "Yes, the son is a bad animal, the father has always looked down on many sons, the eldest brother is just the eldest son, but the third brother is something, and the fifth brother is better than the son."
King Hao looked at the emperor with a smile, as if joking, "Why is my father so partial, I just don't look down on my son?"
The emperor suddenly closed his eyes helplessly, "It seems that you know what you are doing"
"Haha, of course this king knows, my father was seriously injured, and he couldn't last long, and when he was conscious, he ordered to stab his eldest brother to death, and then passed the throne to this king, what a perfect ending"
The emperor opened his eyes and looked at King Hao coldly, while the prince and others on the side looked at King Hao ridiculously.
King Hao didn't notice anything abnormal for a while, but the attendants around him didn't feel right, and reminded King Hao, and King Hao suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
The emperor said coldly, "Old Five"
King Hao was shocked, Helian Xuan obviously hadn't come back yet, and he had sent so many people to stop him, how could he come back so soon.
It's a pity that Helian Xuan's figure broke the defense line in King Hao's heart.
King Hao looked at Helian Xuan in disbelief, shaking his head while subconsciously retreating.
The mouth also muttered, "Impossible, impossible"
Helian Xuan, who was outside the capital, was the focus of King Hao's precautions, and he also made a variety of means to delay Helian Xuan's trip.
And the news that came back has always been good news.
"The second brother seems to be surprised, the second brother sent so many people to pick up his younger brother, doesn't he want his younger brother to come back early?"
Helian Xuan looked at King Hao with a smile, and his calm appearance made King Hao feel like something was going wrong.
What made King Hao even more frustrated was that the emperor was not surprised at all by Helian Xuan's appearance, what does this mean, he is afraid that his plan has already been leaked.
Just as King Hao feels that a major event is gone, the appearance of Helian Xuan also means that the general trend has been decided, and King Hao's defeat is irreparable.
