Prince Chun thought that Li Luo should return to the house in a day or two at most, and he didn't want to go back to the house for three days in a row, Li Luo still disappeared, and went to the palace to inquire, this Li Luo was no longer in the Wanshou Palace, and even the Queen Mother didn't know Li Luo's whereabouts, the only one who knew Li Luo's whereabouts Emperor Wanlong sang night and night with a few new concubines in the palace in the palace, and stayed up all night, and he had not been to the court for several days.

At dinner this day, Prince Chun said nothing with a gloomy face, and no one dared to touch his moldy head, and the atmosphere was quite depressing for a while. While everyone was eating, the housekeeper Li Zhong hurriedly walked in and saluted: "Lord, there is an urgent letter in the palace." After speaking, he bowed slightly to several princesses.

Prince Chun raised his eyebrows, got up and said, "Go to the study." With that, he left Cai Yaxuan, leaving everyone to talk about it. The six gods of the Luo clan glanced at Concubine Lan and said, "Sister Lan." ”

Concubine Lan smiled slightly and said, "Sister Luo, don't worry, it won't be Lou'er, if it's Lou'er, how can Steward Li tell you." ”

"Oh, what if Lou'er gets into a big disaster?"

"Sister Luo, don't panic, I'll go to the study later." Concubine Lan stopped Luo and explained.

Prince Chun's study.

"What did you say?" Prince Chun gasped.

"Lord, the emperor has just issued three decrees in a row, sealing the two side gates on Suzaku Street in the imperial city, leaving only the main entrance; The seventh prince Xuan Ci was appointed as the commander of the guard; The Guanshan battalion assembled on the same day, and at noon seven days later, it set up a division in Dingtiantai to increase the troops in Xifu. Li Zhong said what he had just said again.

"What do you mean, brother? Why wasn't there any news about the DPRK and China before? Prince Chun muttered.

Li Zhong lowered his head and replied: "Lord, the emperor first passed the decree, and then issued the holy decree, and the gate of the palace has been sealed. ”

"Is there any news of Li Luo?"

"Back to the prince, no, no one in the palace has seen the little prince."

Prince Chun was slightly surprised, but he quickly put it in the back of his mind, pondered the three holy decrees of Emperor Wanlong, frowned and asked, "In addition, are there other abnormal things?" ”

Li Zhong thought for a while and returned: "Lord, the emperor should not have consulted with anyone before making the decree, even the Taishi Mansion didn't know, the news came from the Taishi Mansion just now, and the Taishi was extremely surprised, and he had already sent someone into the palace to investigate." ”

"What the hell does the imperial brother want to do?" Prince Chun frowned.

At this moment, someone came to report, and Concubine Lan asked to see her. Prince Chun's eyes lit up and said, "Please let her in." ”

Concubine Lan walked into the study, saw Prince Chun and Li Zhong with solemn faces, was shocked, and asked, "Lord, but what happened?" ”

Prince Chun snorted, looked at Concubine Lan and said, "Concubine Luo asked you to come, right?" ”

Concubine Lan's face turned slightly red, and she replied, "Sister Luo is worried that Lou'er is in trouble in the palace, so let me take a look." ”

"In the woman's opinion," Prince Chun snorted coldly, and then said to Concubine Lan in a harmonious voice: "I know your temperament, I have never been interested in the affairs of the court, Lou'er is fine, but." Prince Chun saw Concubine Lan's face with joy, so he stretched out his voice and said.

Concubine Lan was slightly stunned, her face was strange, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "If there is something else, the prince might as well say it, don't hold it in your heart, maybe the concubine can help the prince a thing or two, but the prince can't be angry with Lou'er anymore." ”

Prince Chun smiled awkwardly and said, "I really want to ask Lu Wei to help me with some things today." After finishing speaking, he straightened his face and said in a deep voice: "The emperor issued an order today to seal the two side gates on Suzaku Street, and let the seventh prince Xuanci be appointed as the commander of the capital guard, and also increase the number of troops in Xifu. ”

Concubine Lan was shocked, frowned, and said, "The emperor has made such a big move. ”

"Yes, the royal brother has always been more than less, no one wants to make three decrees today, and no one knew about it beforehand, and the queen is afraid that she will also be kept in the dark."

"Increasing troops in Xifu? Where do the soldiers come from? Concubine Lan asked.

"Guanshan Camp." Prince Chun replied.

"Guanshan Camp." Concubine Lan muttered, "Who is the general of this Guanshan battalion?" ”

"The Guanshan camp is an army set up to protect the royal city, with about more than 10,000 people, and it has always been led by the emperor's relatives, and now the commander is Li Chengwen, the king of the pasture. The king has met him a lot of times, but the friendship is not deep, but the king has always been the queen mother's confidant. After speaking, Prince Chun was shocked and said, "Lu Wei, are you saying that the imperial brother is not going to increase the troops in Xifu, but to increase the troops in Zhuocheng?" ”

Concubine Lan smiled bitterly and said, "According to what the prince said, this Guanshan camp should not go to Xifu, it can only be Zhuocheng." ”

Prince Chun took a deep breath and said in shock: "Brother Huang wants to quell the chaos!" ”

Just when everyone was shocked and inexplicable, suddenly a tiger guard hurried over, saying that there was something important to report, and after entering the house, the tiger guard saw that Concubine Lan was also there, and he was stunned for a while, not knowing whether to say it or not. Li Zhong snorted and said, "Say it quickly." ”

Hu Wei hurriedly said: "Lord Qiqi, princess, just now from Zhuocheng Mansion Yin and Duwei Office news, Lord Situ Lu fell into the water last night and drowned in the Agarwood River, Duwei Office and Lord Fu Yin are investigating the cause of the fall, and the initial conclusion should be caused by a misstep. The emperor has ordered a thick burial, and ordered Lord Zongbo Yang to temporarily represent the Privy Council. ”

"What!?" Several people in the study looked at each other, and they could see the horror in each other's eyes.

"Okay, you can step down, if you have other news, you can report it at any time." Prince Chun said to Huwei, "Remember, it is not allowed to spread the word, and if there is a leak, it will be punished as leaking the military aircraft." ”

"Yes, the last will be ordered." The tiger guard bowed to Prince Chun and retreated.

Prince Chun turned to Li Zhong and said, "Li Zhong." ”

"The villain is here."

"You ordered people to investigate around Zhuocheng, and then ordered the tiger guards to be on strict alert, and the soldiers of the Fengwu Battalion were transferred to the mansion, remember, it must be tight inside and loose outside. It was also rumored that Mr. Zhao in the front yard said that the king had important matters to discuss. ”

"Obey, the villain will do it." After speaking, Li Zhong hurriedly walked out of the study, leaving Prince Chun and Concubine Lan.

Prince Chun sighed and said, "Brother Huang has made a dangerous move, in case the peace fails, this Zhuo City will be in chaos." ”

"Lord, in my opinion, the emperor is afraid that this time it is not a peaceful chaos, but a forced chaos." Concubine Lan had calmed down and said slowly.

"What? Forced chaos? Luvi, what do you mean by that? Prince Chun exclaimed.

Concubine Lan said with a complicated face: "If it is to quell the chaos, the sooner the better, it will not be as fanfare as this, the prince is a fan of the authorities, and now there are no chaotic ministers and thieves on the surface of Zhuocheng, so if the emperor wants to quell the chaos, he must first force the chaos, and then he can quell the chaos." ”

"Yes, Wei'er is right. Although the ambition of the Taishi is known to everyone in the court, but now after all, I am still a great minister, and there is no blatant rebellion, but if the imperial brother is forced to make chaos, what should I do? ”

Concubine Lan heard Prince Chun call her Wei'er, she was slightly displeased, frowned and said: "If this is the case, the emperor can find any reason to take advantage of the situation to reduce the power of the sect, and when the soldiers are in the city, who will dare to make a move." It's just that the only thing that worries me is, who is planning for the emperor? ”

Seeing that Prince Chun was also in thought, Concubine Lan suddenly flashed Li Luo's figure in front of her eyes, startled, Concubine Lan hurriedly shook her head and suppressed this thought.

Taishifu.

The porcelain fragments on the ground of the secret room, Yu Chengyun's face sank like water, and he asked coldly, "What does Li Chengde want to do?" ”

Inside the room stood the old man from before, still dressed in sackcloth, and a middle-aged man in his forties, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and big ears, quite majestic.

At this time, the middle-aged man replied: "Yu Taishi, I think that the emperor's move is intended to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, and from the humble position, the emperor is just making a show and suppressing some rumors in the royal city." ”

"What if that's not the case?"

"This, if this is not the case, I think that we must strike first." The middle-aged man paused slightly, his eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he gritted his teeth and said word by word.

Yu Chengyun was stunned for a moment and said, "Time is too rushed. ”

"Taishi," the old man in Mai moved, as if he had just woken up and said slowly: "The emperor's three decrees, we have no way out, if the emperor just wants to show his majesty, then don't worry, but according to the content of the decree and the signs in the city, this time the emperor must be plotting a big thing, and we have no other choice, if the Guanshan camp enters Zhuocheng, we are like a fish with a sword, life and death are in the hands of others, and the subordinates think that the matter of forcing the palace can no longer be delayed, and it will be interrupted continuously, and it will be disturbed." ”

"It's just that this Emperor Wanlong could come up with this move to catch us off guard." The middle-aged man groaned.

"There must be someone behind the scenes to advise the emperor, Zhuocheng is a place where the royal power is concentrated after all, Li Chengde can use the emperor to give orders, if we make the slightest move, we will be charged as a traitor." The corners of Mai's eyebrows moved, and he said.

"But Li Chengye is manipulating behind his back?" Yu Chengyun asked with a low face.

"Judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be, Li Chengye only got this news in the palace, and he didn't receive any news before. After hearing the news, Li Chengye immediately stepped up the guards of the palace, and ordered people to investigate around the royal city, this Prince Chun's palace has been under our surveillance, and there is no change before the emperor's decree. If the subordinates are not bad, the person who advises the emperor should be in the palace. The old man in Mai shook his head and replied.

"In the palace?" Yu Chengyun frowned and asked, "Is there any news in the palace?" ”

"No," the old man in Mai replied, "Since Emperor Wanlong ordered the palace gate to be sealed, the security in this palace has been significantly stricter, and at present, the entry and exit have been isolated, and it is difficult to send the news, but Emperor Wanlong must not have thought of it." At this point, the old man in sackcloth slammed his mouth, closed his eyes, and said no more.
