Volume 1 Chapter 284 Shocking Change
() It doesn't matter if you admit it or not, Nie Linyu simply told Princess Nie what happened in the dungeon, but he concealed Du Xinlei's insult to himself and didn't say it, this kind of thing is useless, it just makes Princess Nie worry in vain.
Although there is a shortage of soldiers outside, the palace is still peaceful, if you ignore the royal forest army at the door, it looks no different from usual, Princess Nie ordered her subordinates to prepare bath water, and let the kitchen prepare meals.
"Mother, I heard that my brother and His Royal Highness the Seventh have arrived in Wanzhou, and now something has happened in Beijing, I don't know what will happen to them over there."
At this point, Princess Nie was not too worried, "If the emperor is trustworthy, when your father repels the rebels, our family will be fine, if the emperor is not trustworthy, there is no need to think about it at this time." ”
In the evening, the news came, the emperor died, Yuan Zimu ascended the throne with the support of the civil and military ministers headed by Lin Zhiyang, and served the imperial concubine Lin Yuehua as the queen mother, and in the name of the emperor's dying will, a white silk was given to the queen.
The first will of the new emperor to ascend the throne was to crown Prince Nie as the crown prince Taibao, the prince regent, and order him to resist the rebels.
The second decree is to send someone to Wanzhou to deliver the decree, ordering Nie Chenlin to die Yuan Zixi on the spot, Yuan Zimu said to his cronies in the palace: "My father's sudden death this time was caused by those musicians before, and the residual poison in his body has not been cleared, coupled with the rebellion, my father can't stand it, and the culprit of all is Yuan Zixi, I must not keep him." ”
The third will is to send people to King Nie's mansion to announce that Princess Nie and Nie Linyu have entered the palace.
Nie Linyu was shocked, "Mother, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to die suddenly, not so much because of the Seventh Highness, but because of the good things done by the Ninth Highness and the Lin family." ”
Without waiting for her mother to respond, she said again: "Mother, you can't enter the palace, let alone stay in the mansion, I'll enter the palace to delay time, you can escape quickly." ”
"Your father is still here, where can I escape?"
Nie Linyu's eyes flashed, "If you go to Wanzhou, my brother will never accept the order, let alone kill His Royal Highness the Seventh, you will only be safe when you go to Wanzhou, as for Daddy, at this time, the rebels are besieging the city, and there is no one available in the court, and the rebels are repulsed."
Before, Daddy would be fine. ”
Princess Nie wanted to say something, Nie Lin said quickly: "It's too late, mother, make a decision early, we must act separately." ”
said that Princess Nie should make a decision early, but in fact, she didn't give her mother room to think at all, but continued: "Mama Wei, you go to Xuanzhang Dahu to come in, Bi Xi, you go to pass the big housekeeper first, and then go to change a set of clothes for the little maid to stand by, pearls and amber, go and clean up the things that the princess uses for travel, not too much, just bring a change of clothes and more broken silver, and don't use anything else." ”
A series of orders were given, and everyone sprang into action.
Zhang Dahu came, because of the difference between inside and outside, he knelt outside the curtain to see, Nie Linyu let him in, "It's all this time, don't talk about these vain heads, Zhang Dahu, you are the commander of the palace guards, I order you to lead the palace guards, and immediately set off to escort the princess to Wanzhou, there must be no mistake, and the princess's safety must be protected on the way." ”
"Yes." Zhang Dahu first agreed, and then looked embarrassed, "But the outside of the mansion is surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army." ”
"I have my own way, you go and pick people first, you don't need too many, twenty or thirty elites." Nie Lin whispered a few words to Zhang Dahu, and Zhang Dahu took the order and left.
Only then did she turn her gaze to Princess Nie, "Mother, you also went to change your clothes, just be ordinary, don't be too eye-catching." ”
Princess Nie's face was full of worry, "Yu'er, what are you going to do?" ”
Nie Linyu held his mother's hand, "Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing, you just have to go to Wanzhou with peace of mind." ”
When the chief steward of the palace came, Nie Linyu asked him to come over with his ear, whispered an instruction, and finally said: "After I enter the palace, you order the others to stay in the palace as usual, don't show your clues, understand?" ”
The chief steward's face changed first, and then he said: "Don't worry, the county lord, the old slave will definitely complete the task." ”
Nie Linyu made proper arrangements, took a deep breath, and went back to the room to change into a dress, but it was not the set of county lord's regular clothes that he usually wore when he entered the palace, but a simple white skirt, and his long hair was not combed, but he was still like a girl who was not in time, only braided in a hurry, and did not wear any jewelry.
The eunuch who came to pick up Nie Linyu into the palace saw it
, but nodded, "The county lord has a heart, Emperor Daxing has just died, but because the rebels are besieging the city, there is chaos everywhere, and the emperor is also powerless, so he has to settle the situation before talking." ”
The emperor had just passed away, and everyone else had changed their titles.
Nie Lin said perfunctorily, "The emperor is dedicated to the country, and the emperor has a spirit in the sky, so he will not blame." ”
She stuffed a large handful of silver tickets to the eunuch, "My mother is worried that my father and my brother fell ill yesterday, and now they can't get out of bed and can't enter the palace, you can be accommodating, I will enter the palace alone." ”
The eunuch understood what Yuan Zimu meant, that is, he was afraid that the Nie family would take advantage of the chaos and run away, or take refuge in other forces, so he wanted to arrest Princess Nie's mother and daughter and enter the palace as hostages, but as long as Nie Linyu was in hand, it didn't matter if Princess Nie stayed in the house.
If Princess Nie enters the palace and Nie Linyu stays in the palace, the eunuch will never allow it, and in turn, he thinks it is feasible, although the eunuch has no children, but he understands people's hearts, and there is only one in this world who gives up his father and mother when he is a child, and there has never been a father and mother who give up his own children.
Although he thought so in his heart, the eunuch was still embarrassed on the surface, "Since the princess is sick, it is not good to be alarmed, and please invite the county lord to enter the palace, our family will definitely report to the emperor, and the emperor will not blame him." ”
Just as he was about to wait for Nie Linyu to get into the carriage, he heard Princess Nie in the main room shouting, "Yu'er." ”
Nie Linyu's heart suddenly jumped, lest her mother rush out, if the eunuch saw her suspicions, her arrangements would come to naught, she hurriedly said to the eunuch: "Father-in-law, I'll go in and see my mother." ”
Without waiting for the eunuch to agree, she walked into the main room in three or two steps, and sure enough, Princess Nie wanted to go out, and Mama Wei and Pearl Amber were desperately pulling.
"Mother, I will be fine, you go to Wanzhou first, I will try to escape from the palace to meet you, don't worry."
Princess Nie was originally ten thousand worried, but seeing her daughter's calm and unhurried appearance, she couldn't help but nodded, "You should be more careful." ”
Nie Linyu got into the carriage and left the house, only to see that the street was still messy, people were still wearing their usual clothes, no one wore filial piety to the emperor at all, and there were red lanterns hanging in front of many houses, which showed that the incident happened suddenly, and there were rebels, so everyone couldn't take care of these at all.
