Chapter 244: Drama
That person thought it was true, he had been staying by the emperor's side and knew the emperor's physical condition.
When he heard this, he knew Bei Liangye's intentions even more, so he promised Bei Liangye: "I will help you hide it." ”
"In that case, please." Bei Liangye saluted him.
The man hurriedly stopped Bei Liangye's momentum of bending over, and said straightly: "Prince, I can't afford this gift, don't bother the old man." ”
"For the sake of the emperor, filial piety can be learned, since you have already asked, then I will retire first." The man stood up and continued.
Bei Liangye also hurriedly stood up, sent the man out of the door, and said respectfully: "You go slowly, and please take care of your father's body more." ”
"That's nature."
The two exchanged politeness for a while, and Bei Liangye sent the man out of the prince's mansion.
Soon the henchman went to the emperor's palace, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair in the imperial study, and when he saw him come back, he asked lightly: "How is it?" Why has the prince been moving so much lately, and has he asked the reason? ”
The henchman had promised Bei Liangye to hide it for him, so he calmly reported: "The prince said that there have been thieves in the city recently, and in order to prevent any accidents, he asked people to set up defenses all around the capital. ”
The emperor nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I don't care, if you don't have anything to do, you can step back and go busy with yourself." ”
"The minister retired."
After the henchman retired, he concentrated on political affairs again, and the imperial study was silent, and no one dared to disturb him.
And the queen also heard about it, and she was a little puzzled, why did the prince suddenly step up the defense in the capital?
If a thief sneaks in, with Bei Liangye's ability, wouldn't he be able to deal with this matter in a while, why bother so much.
Intuition told her that something was wrong, something must have happened, but why should she hide it from the emperor?
In any case, Bei Liangye must have his own reasons, since martial law is going to be imposed in the capital, it is best to strengthen the defense in the palace.
So she ordered to go down and let the guards strengthen the defenses in the Forbidden City.
It's just that the queen can't figure it out, but Bei Liangye has always been a sensible and obedient person, so it is absolutely impossible to harm the emperor, and if she can't figure it out, it is better to ask the princess to come into the palace to meet her and ask her a question or two.
The queen made up her mind, so she turned her head to the side and instructed the palace maid: "Go to the prince's mansion to invite the princess, and say that I have something to do with her." ”
Ruan Wanwan is now bored in the prince's mansion, and since Yu Bei Liangye's quarrel, she has been a little listless, and has been nesting in her room, unwilling to go out and walk around.
Suddenly, I received news from the palace that the queen had sent her to meet her, and I was a little puzzled for a while.
But Ruan Wanwan didn't dare to disobey the queen's order, so she packed herself up, got out of the house, got into the carriage, and went to the palace.
Soon arrived outside the palace gate, the carriage could not enter, Ruan Wanwan got off the car, only took his personal maid, and went in the direction of the queen's palace.
Soon, an announcer came from outside the Queen's Palace: "The Crown Princess has arrived-"
Ruan Wanwan was also very quick and stepped in from outside the palace: "The queen is looking for a concubine, what's the matter?" ”
The queen smiled at her kindly, beckoned, and asked Ruan Wanwan to come over: "I have liked you the most since I was a child, you are what I grew up watching, you come to tell me, what has the prince been busy with recently?" ”
"I'm not busy with anything, Queen Mother, don't worry." Ruan Wanwan hesitated a little, after all, this matter was too secretive, and she was afraid that something would happen if she said it rashly.
"Don't hide it from this palace, if there is nothing to do, you will not react like this, tell this palace quickly." The queen mother saw through Ruan Wanwan's hesitation at a glance and spoke.
Ruan Wanwan had no choice but to say truthfully: "I sneaked into the Xiao Mansion a few days ago to find out the news, and I heard the discussion between Master Xiao and the eldest prince. ”
"What are they discussing?" The queen was a little surprised, and she didn't understand why the Xiao family and the eldest prince would make do with each other.
"The concubines didn't hear it very clearly, they only knew that they were going to give the emperor medicine." Ruan Wanwan whispered.
"What! Give the emperor medicine? The queen slammed the table and stood up, her phoenix eyes widened, "Where did they get the guts!" ”
"Queen Mother, don't be angry, it's not good to be angry, we are worried about this, so we hide it from the emperor." Ruan Wanwan hurriedly explained.
The queen also knows that the emperor's health has not been very good recently, so it is no wonder that the crown prince and the crown princess are busy hiding from him, and it is really difficult for these two children.
"But this palace thinks that if you keep hiding it, when the matter is exposed, the emperor will be suspicious."
Ruan Wanwan has also been having a headache recently, and it is because of this that she is so hesitant now.
"Frankly speaking, I think it's better for the emperor to know, otherwise when the time comes, some things will break out, and you will still be suspected of favoring the Xiao Mansion and the eldest prince."
What Queen Ruan Wanwan said also made sense, so she respectfully said to her: "In the mother's guidance, I will go back and discuss with the prince to see what to do." ”
"It's good that you know, I called you into the palace today, in fact, it's just to ask about this matter, and if there's nothing else, you can go back to the house and rest first." After the queen mother learned the truth, she put her mind at ease, worried about Ruan Wanwan's body, and planned to let her go back to the house to rest first.
"The concubine retired." Ruan Wanwan respectfully bowed to the queen mother and withdrew.
Ruan Wanwan returned to his room, secretly took out those measuring tools from the bed, and planned to divinate himself, if the result was auspicious, he would tell the emperor about it, and the result would be fierce, so he would continue to conceal it.
She carefully performed the Dao method, and she didn't dare to make a mistake in such a serious matter.
Soon the results came out, Ruan Wanwan was a little nervous, she covered her eyes, and looked through the cracks, the result.
It's actually Ji!
Ruan Wanwan was overjoyed, if this is the case, then it doesn't hurt to tell the emperor the truth about this matter, and he will start preparing now.
So early the next morning, Ruan Wanwan went to the palace to meet the emperor.
The emperor didn't expect Ruan Wanhui to come to see him early in the morning, and asked suspiciously: "Wanwan, why did you come over?" ”
Ruan Wanwan knelt directly on the ground and said, "The concubine has something to report to the emperor." ”
"What is it that makes you panic like this, stand up and say."
Ruan Wanwan raised her head and stared at the emperor seriously: "The eldest prince and the Xiao family want to drug you, which is not good for you, so the crown prince has been strengthening his defense recently." ”
The emperor didn't expect this, he was only surprised, but he immediately understood that his son was for his own good, and he was worried that telling him the truth would cause his illness.
So although the emperor was a little angry, the prince hid it from himself, but he also agreed to play with Ruan Wanwan.
During this time, the emperor has been taking some other medicinal herbs to make his body look weaker.
