Ganquan Palace is more than 200 miles away from the northern suburbs of Chang'an City, Su Wen fled from the palace immediately after seeing Jiang Chong arrested, and when the prince's guards were still searching for him in the palace, he had already found a carriage and went to Ganquan Palace.

At four o'clock, the afterglow of the sun had slowly closed behind the mountain, and when the gate of Ganquan Palace was about to close, Su Wen's carriage appeared in front of the palace gate.

After entering the Ganquan Palace, Su Wen did not immediately go to the saint, but first went to the Hook Yi Palace, which was not far from the Purple Palace. The evening breeze in the mountain was cool, Zhao Yan was taking Liu Fuling to play in the inner courtyard, hearing the report from the next person, Zhao Yan's face was condensed, and then Liu Fuling was handed over to the nursing mother's care, and he hurried to the main hall.

Su Wen was waiting in the palace with anxiety and expectation at this time, when his adopted son Chang Rong died because of the crown prince Liu Ju, this matter has been piercing his heart like a thorn, and now he has the opportunity to avenge this, how can he miss it? While pondering, Zhao Yan walked into the hall and saw Su Wen cordially stepped forward and shouted, "Su Changshi!" ”

Hearing this, Su Wen hurriedly leaned over and saluted, and said, "Old slave Su Wen has seen Madame!" ”

"Su Chang Waiter, hurry up and be exempt!" Zhao Yan said with a smile, "I often serve the order to enter Beijing to govern witches, and now I must have achieved something when I come back!" ”

Su Wen glanced at the maids in the palace and said in a low voice: "Madam, the old slave is here to report something important!" ”

Zhao Yan understood, and all the maids in the palace retreated, and then said with a smile: "Su Changshi might as well speak up if there is anything!" ”

Su Wen said: "Madame, you can know that there has been a big change in Beijing now!" ”

"The big change?" Zhao Yan's heart tightened when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

Su Wen frowned, and said: "The old slave and the embroidered messenger Jiang Chongjiang were ordered to enter the Weiyang Palace to control witches, and dug up the puppets in the stables of the Prince's East Palace. ”

"The prince seems to be benevolent, but he didn't expect to be so vicious!" Hearing that Jiang Chong was captured, Zhao Yan said angrily.

Su Wen nodded and continued: "The old slave and Lord Jiang are ordered to rule witches together, if the prince does not see the old slave after Lord Jiang arrests him, he will naturally know that this matter has been leaked, and he will definitely send someone to Ganquan Palace to explain this matter to His Majesty." At that time, if the prince insists that it is Lord Jiang who frames him, with the relationship between His Majesty and the prince, he will definitely favor the prince, so the old slave did not reply to His Majesty after returning to the palace, but came here to meet Madame first! ”

There were words in Su Wen's words, which made Zhao Yan ponder for a while, and after a little hesitation, Zhao Yan said: "This palace and the permanent attendant are not new acquaintances, and the permanent attendant may as well tell him bluntly!" ”

"Good! Madame is quick to talk! Su Wen praised, then leaned over, and said: "Madame's expectations for the little prince should not only be the vassal king, right?" ”

Zhao Yan was not surprised when she heard this, her intentions at the beginning of her friendship with Su Wen were clear, and she understood why she said vague words, so she immediately said: "What Chang Shi said is not bad!" ”

Su Wen bowed his head and said: "In this case, there is an excellent opportunity to help the little prince achieve this great cause, I wonder if Madame can grasp it?" ”

Zhao Yan's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Please also ask the regular attendant for advice!" ”

Su Wenwei groaned, and said: "Madam, now that the capital has changed, presumably the prince will send an envoy into the palace at night to face the saint, if the lady can delay the envoy, so that the prince and His Majesty can not communicate, until tomorrow the old slave will tell His Majesty about the affairs of the capital, with His Majesty's heart will inevitably be thunderous and angry, and if the prince does not see the envoy return overnight, there will be a lot of suspicion in his heart, and he will also take precautions, my wife and I take this opportunity to separate the relationship between Your Majesty and the prince, Madame think, Your Majesty will have the heart of easy storage?" ”

A complicated expression appeared on Zhao Yan's face after hearing this, Jiang Chong has a fellow villager with her, and has been planning for her in private, and now she is captured by the prince, if she delays this matter, it is very likely to harm his life, but if she tells the holy driver in time, then she will lose the opportunity to bring down the prince, which is more important, she is constantly thinking in her heart.

Su Wen didn't know about her relationship with Jiang Chong, and seeing that Zhao Yan had been hesitating, he couldn't help asking: "Madam, this matter is a godsend for Madame, why is Madam hesitating?" ”

Zhao Yan put away the hesitation in her eyes, nodded and responded: "It's a good plan to serve the ever, but this matter is very important, and you must think it through!" ”

"Madame is meticulous, she should be like this!" Su Wen agreed, "The old slave entered the palace when the palace gate was closed, and the old slave guessed that the prince's envoy was now on his way to Ganquan Palace, and he asked his wife to think more about delaying the envoy!" ”

Zhao Yan nodded and shouted to the outside: "Someone!" ”

The guard outside the hall followed the sound and walked inside, Zhao Yan said: "Spread the palace doors, Your Majesty's holy body is uneasy, if there is a person who asks to see him at night, no matter who is allowed to open the palace door without permission, be sure to report to the palace to know!" ”

"No!" On duty and take the order.

Su Wen praised: "Madam is resolute, the old slave admires!" ”

Zhao Yan smiled slightly and said, "There are still many subtleties in this matter, you and I have to discuss it carefully." ”

"No!" Su Wen responded. The sky outside the hall was completely dark, the mountains were undulating in the night mist, and the Ganquan Palace was hidden in the night, obscure.

----

Sure enough, just after the end of the day, a horse came from afar on the galloping road outside the Ganquan Palace, and someone came to the palace gate to take out the waist card and said loudly: "I am Yang Jun, the prince of the palace, and I have something important to ask to see Your Majesty!" ”

The marquis of the palace gate did not dare to open the palace door without permission because he received the order of the Gouyi Palace, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly sent someone to tell Mrs. Gouyi, Zhao Yan heard the news and said: "Your Majesty's holy body is uneasy, and he has already taken medicine to sleep, and now the palace door is closed, what is the important matter and wait for tomorrow!" ”

When the gatekeeper got the reply, he said to Yang Jun on the gatehouse: "The palace gate is closed, the holy bow is uneasy, please come back tomorrow!" ”

Yang Jun heard this and said urgently: "This matter is very important, please wait for another report!" ”

The door marquis said: "The holy car has already rested, please come back tomorrow!" ”

Although Yang Jun was very anxious when he heard this, he had no choice but to take the horse and commit himself to the bottom of the gatehouse, and the details were even more missing.

----

The time has passed, and the palace is still brightly lit, Liu Ju called the prince and asked, "Is there any news?" ”

Xu Yan shook his head and said, "Back to the prince, Yang Zhan has not returned yet." ”

"Why haven't you returned?" Liu Ju paced around uneasily, waving his hand to let Xu Yan go down first.

Young Fu Shide said on the side: "The prince is a little safe, it will take five or six hours to go back and forth from Ganquan Palace, and Yang Zhanshi should be on the road at this time." ”

Liu Ju nodded slightly, and sat down again. The hall was empty and quiet, only the sound of dripping water was heard for a moment, and after a long time, there was a sound of 'Bangbang...' outside the hall, Liu Ju suddenly woke up from his sleep, and asked anxiously: "What time is it?" ”

The palace people trotted over when they heard the sound, and after reading the missed moment, they said: "Back to the prince, it's ugly for two minutes." ”

"It's ugly?" Liu Ju sat up straight in surprise and asked, "Has Yang Zhan ever come back?" ”

Seeing that the palace people shook their heads slowly, Liu Ju's heart sank, waved his hand to let the palace people go down, and then said to Shi De: "Young Master Shi, Yang Jun still hasn't returned at this hour, and the palace is worried about whether something will happen?" ”

Shi De's face was also solemn, and he said slowly: "According to the calculation of the hour, Yang Zhan should have returned a long time ago, but now he has not returned for a long time, and the number of accidents has been very large!" Thinking that if Su Wen of the Yellow Gate escaped into the Ganquan Palace, he would inevitably tell His Majesty that the prince had committed witchcraft privately, and with His Majesty's heart, I was afraid that the wrath of the thunder would be inevitable. At this time, Yang Zhan went to explain with the prince's letter, but he was afraid that His Majesty might not be willing to believe it, if Jiang Chong confused the public in front of His Majesty, then the East Palace's private witchcraft curse holy drive would become a fact, and this crime..."

Speaking of this, Shi De lowered his eyes and let out a long sigh, and Liu Yi asked urgently: "Young Master Shi, what will happen to this crime?" ”

"Easy to store!" Shi De said heavily.

"The position of the crown prince cannot be moved!" A voice came from the inner hall, Liu raised his eyes when he heard the voice, and saw Wei Zifu wearing a silk robe and walked over, and said to Shi Deli: "Please also ask Young Master Shi to help with all his might!" ”

Shi De hurriedly got up and said: "The queen is serious, and the old minister should do his best!" ”

"Queen Mother!" Liu Ju helped Wei Zifu sit down and said with concern: "It's still early, why don't you sleep more?" ”

Wei Zifu said: "According to your son, you haven't slept all night, how can the queen mother sleep?" Hasn't Yang Zhan returned yet? ”

Looking at the worry in Wei Zifu's eyes, Liu Ju couldn't bear it, but he could only nod and say, "Still haven't returned!" ”

Wei Zifu bowed slightly, and said to Shi De: "Young Master Shi, what countermeasures do you have?" ”

Shi De replied: "Queen, now that the situation in Ganquan Palace is unknown, the old minister thinks that if he sends another envoy to investigate, even if His Majesty is angry, seeing that the prince has sent envoys one after another, the anger will calm down a little." At the same time, Jiang Chong can no longer stay, and he must order the hundred officials that Jiang Chong framed the prince, and the prince will personally supervise and behead this person, so that if His Majesty asks in the future, it will be justified! ”

"What the young master said is very true!" Wei Zifu nodded and said, "Just according to the young master's words!" ”

Not long after, the prince Xu Yan was summoned to the palace, Liu Ji explained a few words, and then said: "If the father is still angry, you will send someone to report to the palace, and the palace will go to Ganquan Palace to ask for guilt!" ”

"No!" Xu Yan replied in a deep voice and hurried away.

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and at four o'clock, the gate of Ganquan Palace opened, and Yang Jun under the city tower hurriedly got up and said, "Prince Zhan Yang Jun has something important to ask to see Your Majesty!" ”

The door Hou said: "Let go!" ”

Yang Jun then entered the palace gate, only to see a small yellow door stepped forward and said: "Yang Zhanshi, Your Majesty has not yet gotten up, please come with me!" ”

Yang Jun nodded in response, followed the small yellow gate for a long time, arrived at a gorgeous palace, through the faint sky, Yang Jun saw that this was the Hook Yi Palace, and asked: "May I ask the waiter, Your Majesty is in the Hook Yi Palace?" ”

Xiao Huangmen didn't answer when he heard this, but he still bowed in front to lead the way, Yang Jun knew that Mrs. Gou Yi Zhao Yan was deeply favored, so he didn't ask much at the moment, so he followed Xiao Huangmen into the ear room of a side hall.

Xiao Huangmen said: "Yang Zhan, please rest here for a while, and wait for His Majesty to pass it on." ”

"Good!" Yang Jun shook his head and said, "Thank you!" ”

Seeing that it was still early and he entered the palace again, Yang Jun felt a little tired, so he knelt down immediately, drank the water offered by the palace people, and closed his eyes slightly to rest and wait for the transmission.

----

At two o'clock, Liu Che woke up slowly, and before he got up, he saw Huangmen Su Wen kneeling on the ground with a panicked face, "Your Majesty..."

Liu Che was shocked when he saw this, got up and asked, "What happened?" ”

Su Wen cried: "Your Majesty, something big has happened in Chang'an!" The old slave followed the embroidered clothes of Lord Jiang to search for witches in Weiyang Palace, unexpectedly dug up a paulownia puppet in the stable room of the Imperial Palace, the prince heard the report and immediately captured Lord Jiang, the old slave saw this and quickly escaped from the palace, the prince was afraid that the old slave would tell His Majesty about this, and now the prince's guards are searching for the old slave everywhere! ”

After saying that, Su Wen fell to the ground and wept endlessly, Liu Che was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "There is such a thing!" There is such a thing! ”

Seeing this, Su Wen cried even more: "Your Majesty, Lord Jiang searched for witch Gu, but was captured by the crown prince and accused him of being falsely accused. Your Majesty, the heart of the prince is unfathomable! ”

Su Wen's words aggravated Liu Che's suspicions, as a monarch who privately practiced witchcraft curse saints, it is unknown what his heart is, Liu Che couldn't help but feel a chill.

After a moment of hesitation, Liu Che shouted loudly: "Someone! ”

The little Yellow Gate King who was accompanying him bowed and said, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

Liu Che covered his face with cold frost and said: "You are my messenger, go to Chang'an Palace quickly, find out the situation in the palace and report it to me!" ”

Wang Bi responded: "No! Then he retreated and got out of the carriage and went to Chang'an.
