Early in the morning, Princess Changping packed up and prepared to enter the palace. Nangong Mo naturally followed Princess Changping, but not as the county lord of Xingcheng, but as the girl next to Princess Changping. Nangong Mo's height is not short among women, but fortunately, Princess Changping also has a few tall girls around her, just a little disguise is enough, after all, no one will stare at a girl specifically, right?

Sitting in the carriage, Princess Changping was a little uneasy, flawless, nothing would happen to her father, right?

Nangong Mo comforted softly: Mother can rest assured, Your Majesty will be beaten by this thing for a lifetime. Princess Changping sighed lightly, shook her head and said: No matter how powerful a person is, it is also against the enemy, if it is against his own people, I am afraid that it will hurt even more.

From the day His Majesty ascended the throne, everyone in this world was afraid that they would be his enemies. Even his sons and grandchildren are just warm and affectionate, but there is no conflict of interest. Once the emperors and grandsons of the yellow character are in danger of ascending to the throne of His Majesty, I am afraid that His Majesty will not show mercy. Nangong Mo said silently in his heart, but these words naturally couldn't be said to Princess Changping.

Your Majesty is not comparable to ordinary people, mother, don't beat you too much. Nangong Mo said softly.

Princess Changping nodded, looked at Nangong Mo and sighed lightly: Fortunately, you are here, otherwise this palace really doesn't know what to do.

Nangong Mo smiled lightly, and sighed in his heart: If I hadn't come back, my mother would not know what had happened until the matter was over, let alone worry.

Princess Changping's carriage entered the palace gate, but was stopped when it approached the palace of His Majesty the Emperor. Because there are only three older children in the capital, Princess Changping and Princess Lingyi, the three eldest children live permanently, and Princess Changping and others do not need to ask for instructions in advance when they enter the palace. As long as someone reports it outside the emperor's palace, the ten ** emperors will see them. But this time it was different, the chamberlain who went in to report came out and respectfully replied to Princess Changping Emperor Xià was in a bad mood and didn't want to see people. Please go back first.

Princess Changping frowned slightly, and said with some concern: My father has refused to see anyone since yesterday, is it really okay?

The chamberlain said respectfully: When the prince dies, it is inevitable that His Majesty will be sad. I'm afraid that I saw the two princesses touching the scene, please rest assured that the princess had seen Her Majesty yesterday, and Her Majesty was fine. Nangong Mo, who was following Princess Changping, frowned secretly, he knew the emperor's physical condition better than anyone else, even if he was usually fine, let alone the prince who died suddenly? However, it is also possible that the emperor still concealed his illness from the outside world, and it is possible that the chamberlain who was guarding the door outside like this did not know. But in any case, many things cannot be done without seeing the emperor. Princess Changping obviously understood her thoughts, nodded and said, "That's it, since my father is in a bad mood, this palace will go to Concubine Lin to sit down first." If the father summons him, he will trouble going to the palace of the concubine to inform the palace.

The chamberlain hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and respectfully sent Princess Changping away.

After the death of the first queen, the emperor indicated that he would no longer stand for the rest of his life, and some of the older concubines passed away in the past, and those who fell out of favor fell out of favor, and now the highest position in the palace is Lin Guifei. Therefore, most of the affairs of the harem are taken care of by her and several concubines. Although Princess Changping is not familiar with the concubines in the harem, she can say a little bit about this concubine in charge of the harem.

Although Nangong Mo has never seen Lin Guifei, because of Xie Peihuan's matter, his impression of this Lin Guifei is really not good. Walking into the Yong'an Palace where Lin Guifei lived, Lin Guifei quickly responded. Now that the prince is mourning, even the palace looks a little lifeless, and no one dares to laugh loudly.

Why did His Highness come? Concubine Lin Guifei introduced Princess Changping into the inner hall and asked softly.

Lin Guifei is not a person who is annoying at a glance, she was originally only thirty-four or five years old, and she looks like she is only twenty-five or sixteen when she is well maintained. may be because her only son died early, she always has a little loneliness and concern between her eyebrows, but it is by no means the resentful and gloomy appearance that Nangong Mo thought before. It's just that at this time, Nangong Mo didn't have any extra thoughts to think about Xie Peihuan.

Princess Changping sat down and said, "I'm sorry to disturb the concubine, I don't know if my father is okay for the past two days?"

Concubine Lin was stunned, and said with a wry smile: It turns out that the princess is here for Her Majesty, and the princess should also know that we are only afraid that we are not as good as the first queen in your Majesty's heart. Where will you tell us? I'm not afraid of the princess's jokes, they all say that this palace is the most favored, in fact, this palace hasn't seen His Majesty for two or three months.

The emperor must be over seventy years old, and Lin Guifei is only in her thirties, so if you really want to say that she has any deep feelings for the emperor, no one will believe it. Lin Guifei may still have some thoughts about competing for favor when she was young, but since her son died, Lin Guifei has gradually lost those thoughts. Once this person has no ambition, his mentality will naturally be much calmer. Accompanying the monarch is like accompanying the tiger, especially after the emperor is old and in poor health, his temper is even more weird, and he is happy not to see Lin Guifei. Hengzhi has the position of a concubine, and she can't stand any grievances in the palace no matter what.

Princess Changping also had to sigh and said: The eldest brother of the prince died suddenly, and the palace is afraid that the father and the emperor will not be able to stand it. It's a pity that my father refuses to see people, which is really worrying.

Lin Guifei thought for a while and said: The princess is so filial, she must know that she will be happy. In this case, the palace summoned the imperial doctor to ask.

Is it convenient? In the palace, it is not a good thing to casually inquire about the emperor's condition. If one is not good, you will be accused of peeping into the holy traces1.

Lin Guifei said lightly: It's okay, just ask. Who can not worry about such a situation? Although she doesn't care about being favored, the difference between the concubine and the concubine is still very big. If she could, of course Lin Guifei hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would live a long life.

After instructing the palace maid to invite the imperial doctor, Lin Guifei looked at Nangong Mo, who was standing behind Princess Changping. Xiu Mei raised slightly: Princess, this doesn't seem to be the person who usually follows the princess?

Princess Changping glanced back at Nangong Mo, and said with a smile: Come and give a gift to the concubine.

Nangong Mo has seen the concubine Niangniang. Nangong Mo stepped forward and bowed and said softly.

Lin Guifei was stunned for a moment, and looked at Nangong Mo dressed as a maid with some consternation, this is the county lord of Star City? Although she is not familiar with Princess Changping, she still knows the palace maid that Princess Changping often brings with her. Although he felt that Nangong Mo was a little naïve, he really didn't recognize Nangong Mo's identity. Of course, this is also because she has only seen Nangong Mo a few times from afar.

Why is this the county lord, why do you want to enter the palace Concubine Lin didn't finish speaking, she saw a dragon gold medal in Nangong Mo's palm, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Nangong Mo said softly: Niangniang forgive me. Nangong Mo and Shizi were ordered to go to Lingzhou on an errand, but the excerpt given to His Majesty was stopped in Zhongshu Province, and the person who sent the excerpt was also hunted down. Nangong Mo did not say anything about the great changes that had taken place in the arrangement of the guards in the palace during this time.

Lin Guifei's face turned a little pale, and she sighed and said: The county lord is too worried, what can happen to His Majesty in the palace? I don't understand what you said about the palace, but the county lord entered the palace, this is the plan

Nangong Mo asked: The concubine has lived in the palace for a long time, what changes have been made in the palace recently?

Variation? Concubine Lin was puzzled, and after thinking about it, she shook her head and said: This palace has not found any changes

The slave begged to see the mother. Outside the door, there was a palace maid's voice, Lin Guifei frowned, and recruited someone to be the palace maid who had just gone to the Tai Hospital. Glancing behind her, Lin Guifei said with some displeasure: Why didn't the imperial doctor come? The little palace maid hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Qi Yu Niangniang, the slave maid was stopped back as soon as she left Yong'an Palace. It is said that His Majesty ordered martial law in the palace and was not allowed to move around at will.

Absurd! Concubine Lin was furious and said in a deep voice: Didn't you tell them that Princess Changping was unwell?

The slave said. The little palace maid said in a panic: However, those guard brothers are not willing to be accommodating. The eldest brother of the guards was a little angry, and the slave maid wanted to send some silver taels to ask them to be accommodating, but they drove them back. The three of them glanced at each other, and Concubine Lin waved her hand and said, "That's it, the palace knows, you go down first." Keep your mouth shut.

Yes, sis.

There was silence in the inner hall, and Concubine Lin said for a long time: Could it be that Your Majesty is really seriously ill? However, in addition to summoning the emperor's eldest grandson back to Beijing, there is no death of the crown prince, if the emperor's majesty is really not in good health, it is reasonable to immediately call the vassal king back to Beijing. Nangong Mo pondered for a long time before saying, "Mother, please go back to the house first."

Princess Changping was stunned and asked: Is something wrong?

Nangong Mo shook his head and said comfortingly: Not necessarily, maybe I thought too much. Anyway, I always have to wait until I find a way to meet His Majesty before I can solve the matter on the Lingzhou side. Mother, let's go back first.

Where is Princess Changping willing to believe, if it comes to this point, she can't notice that something is wrong, she has really lived in vain for so many years, flawless, you go out of the palace with your mother first, and then you want to see your father and mother turn around and think about it. As long as my father doesn't see us all the time. Nangong Mo shook his head and said: I'm afraid it's too late, Niangniang, borrow someone from your palace to go back with your mother.

Lin Guifei pondered for a moment, but nodded and said, "It's okay." Princess, I'll send you out in person, and I'll see what happened.

Princess Changping looked at Nangong Mo disapprovingly, Nangong Mo smiled lightly and said: Mother don't worry, I have the necessary gold medal, I can go in and out of the palace at will, if Your Majesty is fine, I will naturally be fine. If something happens, I can get out myself.

Princess Changping sighed and said to Concubine Lin: In this way, please bear with me.

Lin Guifei smiled lightly: Don't worry, I think this kid is smart and will be fine.

Nangong Mo changed clothes with a palace maid who was about the same height and size as her, and the palace maid was mixed among Princess Changping's maids and followed Princess Changping except for Yong'an Palace. Sure enough, there were many guards outside the palace gate, and when they saw a group of people coming out, they immediately came forward to greet them, and they saw the mother and the princess. Lin Guifei glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: What? The princess is unwell and asks you to ask for a doctor, but you refuse, and now the princess wants to go back to the house, and you have to stop you?

The leading guard glanced at Princess Changping, whose face was a little gloomy, and then looked at the group of maids who followed the princess, and thought for a while before saying: Don't dare, princess, please. But he never mentioned the matter of asking for a doctor for Princess Changping.

Princess Changping raised her eyebrows and looked at him, why didn't the palace know, since when did the palace not even have the power to ask for a doctor? It seems that this palace is going to ask my father what is going on!

The leading guard lowered his eyes and arched his hand: The princess forgives her sins, it is really an order from the top, and we are also acting according to orders. What's more, the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital are now in the palace and the prince's mansion. I heard that last night, His Majesty killed several imperial doctors to be buried for His Royal Highness the Prince, so several more imperial doctors were sick

Enough, Hongu knows. Princess Changping waved her hand impatiently and said: Go home! The palace will go to ask for a doctor, and you can't delay going to the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince.

During the prince's funeral, they had to go to the prince's mansion every day to pay their respects.

Yes, princess please.

Back in Yong'an Palace, Concubine Lin Guifei sat down and felt a little depressed, and only after a while did she raise her head and look at Nangong Mo Dao: There is really an accident with the leading guard, and this palace has never seen it. Although it is impossible for a concubine to recognize all the guards in the palace, at least those with a little status always have some impressions. The leader was wearing an official uniform from the fourth grade, but Lin Guifei felt very angry. There are only two possibilities, one is that this person is not a palace guard at all, and the other is that this person has just been promoted. Either one is not a good thing.

Nangong Mo nodded, of course she also knew that Lin Changfeng's guess was not groundless. I didn't feel it when I entered the palace before, but when I went out just now, I found that there were a lot of people in the dark. Is this palace really still in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor?

For a while, both of them were relatively speechless. After a while, Lin Guifei asked: When we first met, the county lord seemed to have something to say? Concubine Lin Guifei is worthy of being a woman who has been favored in the palace for more than ten years, and she is indeed observant, even if at that time in her eyes, Nangong Mo was just an insignificant maid.

Nangong Mo hesitated for a moment, and then said: It's me who is presumptuous, I don't know if the concubine still remembers Miss Xie San?

Lin Guifei was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, her face changed slightly, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes and asked, "Miss Xie San?" Naturally, I remember, what's wrong with her? Nangong Mo pondered his words and said: Miss Xie San has always been in the boudoir

Concubine Lin Guifei was silent for a long time, and then sighed and said: It was the palace that delayed Miss Xie San, in the past few years, my son has been gone, and the palace has no intention of caring about these things, but it is not that I didn't expect it, but I didn't want to think about it. Every time I think about it, I think of my weak child lying on the bed silently. As a mother, my heart aches every time I think about it. At the beginning, she was really grief-stricken and couldn't think of anything, but when she gradually came out of her grief, she gradually didn't want to think about things related to the Nineteenth Prince. She didn't mention it, and naturally no one around her dared to mention it to her, so in the past few years, Xie Peihuan's matter was forgotten by Lin Guifei.

If no one mentions it to her, Lin Guifei may never mention Xie Peihuan again in her life. But this does not mean that she really viciously hopes that Xie Peihuan will keep her son a widow for the rest of her life. She is also a woman, so she naturally understands the difficulties of women. If it is an ordinary family, a woman who has not passed through the door to keep a year for her fiancé is considered affectionate and righteous, but they are royal, and without the emperor and concubine to speak, the Xie family naturally does not dare to think about him. The emperor would never bother with such a trivial matter, and the concubine was immersed in grief, and she didn't even attend the banquet in the past two years, so that Xie Peihuan spent a few years in vain.

Lin Guifei sighed and said: In the past few years, they have not dared to mention the emperor in front of me, but I didn't expect you to mention this matter first. Concubine Lin got up, took out a brocade box from a cabinet next to her and put it in front of Nangong Mo, and said: I probably don't have a chance to leave the palace, you can give it to Miss Xie for the palace, just say that the palace gave her makeup. If there is still a chance in the future, the Xie family will see who is suitable, and enter the palace to deliver a word, and the palace must give Miss Xie a marriage. Many things don't need to be said so clearly, and it is naturally impossible for Lin Guifei to make a special will to say that Xie Peihuan can choose another marriage. As for the latter sentence, it is really uncertain whether the emperor will have a chance now.

Flawless Dai Dai Dai thanked the mother.

Lin Guifei chuckled and said: It was the palace that delayed Miss Xie, and the Xie family should not blame the palace. They are also the age of this palace, do they really have to embarrass a child? She was indeed very painful for the death of the emperor, but she was actually mentally prepared when she was married. People are selfish, if Chong Xi can really save the emperor's life, let alone a Xie San, even if there are ten or eight more, she will beg for her son. Chong Xi understands this kind of thing, but she is unwilling to give up the last straw. But if she was angry with Xie San because of this, she was not so shameless. It is enough for Miss Xie to spend so many years for a person who has only met once, I just hope that she can have a good home in the future, and she will be regarded as accumulating virtue for the emperor.

In the middle of the night, a dark shadow quickly swept out of the Yong'an Palace, heading towards the emperor's dormitory outside the inner court. Along the way, he avoided the hurried guards and finally came to the outside of the tall and majestic dormitory. In the dark night, a pair of clear and calm starry eyes appeared on the black face towel. Nangong Mo leaned against the wall, glanced at the guards at the entrance of the main hall, and sighed secretly in his heart. No wonder Lin Changfeng's people can't get in, this guard is indeed very strict. Even she felt a little frightened every step along the way.

Carefully placing a delicate and small incense ball on the golden dragon's carved abdomen beside him, Nangong Mofei weighed under the eaves. This kind of mist smell is almost non-existent, and the person who smells it will not pass out, and the insensitivity will only be slightly weaker than usual. In the middle of the night, the medicine hardly attracts any attention, because the insensibility itself is usually more tired than usual at this time. But if you mix it with another drug, it will make a huge difference immediately. As a last resort, Nangong Mo didn't want to alarm the guards in the palace.

Carefully opening a high window, Nangong Mo deftly fell into the side hall of the dormitory.

The silence in the side hall made people feel a little weirdly deserted, Nangong Mo was not in a hurry, leaned against the pillar and waited for a while, making sure that there was indeed no one in the dormitory, so he walked towards the main hall that was still brightly lit. In the main hall, the emperor was pale and described as emaciated sitting behind the bookcase and carrying a pen. The maids and chamberlains waited quietly in the hall, motionless, as if they were wooden stakes.

Did Changping and Lingyi enter the palace today?

The chief chamberlain frowned, hesitated for a moment and said, "Back to Your Majesty, no."

No? The emperor's gray thick eyebrows were locked tighter, why didn't they come to the palace? Did you listen carefully?

Chief Attendant: Your Majesty, if the princesses come, how dare the people below not report it? The old slave really didn't hear the people below. The Emperor thought for a moment and nodded. This old slave has been with him all day long, and he has never left, so naturally he will not lie and deceive himself, not to mention what good is lying to him?

Tomorrow, I will summon Changping and Lingyi into the palace! The emperor said in a deep voice.

Yes, 陛xià. The chief chamberlain said respectfully, Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "I will write for a while, and I will be able to read more when Qianye returns." I don't have much time left.

Majesty Majesty Majesty Longevity is boundless, how can you be so the chief attendant hurriedly knelt down and said. The emperor waved his hand and said, "Okay, you will flatter me all day long, and my own body will not know?" Don't be long-winded, delay my time, when will Qianye come back? The chief of the internal servants: After shooting 800 miles, I rushed to deliver the decree, and His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun should arrive in these two days.

It's been two days. The Emperor sighed and said, "It seems that I am also going to speed up. Let these decrees be sent out tomorrow morning.

The chief chamberlain glanced at the folds piled up on the convenient table, and his heart was turbulent. He has always accompanied His Majesty the Emperor, and of course he knows what is written in those wills. Every letter is an untold number of lives.

As the master servant said this, one of the maids below fell to the ground with a thud. The chief attendant looked up, and was about to reprimand the person next to him also fell.

come

Shut up! A cold voice interrupted him, followed by two more thuds, and two more guards were thrown out of the shadows. The chief attendant hurriedly blocked in front of the emperor, only to see such a familiar figure falling from the beam, Nangong Mo, meet Your Majesty!
