Chapter 358: You Can't Catch Up......
This old fox, slippery like a loach!
By the time Li Hong came to his senses, Wu Liangfu's figure had disappeared without a trace, and at this time, Wang Fusheng asked weakly.
"Your Highness, the horse is ready, are you still entering the palace?"
"Go!"
Li Hong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
Neither the talisman nor this will is something that can be left in the hand, and it must be handed over immediately, especially at this sensitive time......
Besides, he just came back from the palace for a short time, even if Li Zhi has already started, he must not be able to go far, and now that he is on his journey, he should still be able to catch up!
It's just that what Li Hong didn't expect was that this time Li Zhi had already prepared, and when he rushed to Zichen Hall again, there was already no one inside, and Wu Liangfu didn't lie to him.
And according to the maid on duty, the emperor and queen have been driving for nearly an hour at this moment!
"Your Highness, Your Majesty and Niangniang are walking through the Golden Light Gate!"
In front of the Jinguang Gate, Li Hong galloped with his men and horses, but found that a group of ministers had just planned to disperse at the Jinguang Gate.
Seeing Li Hong coming so hurriedly, Xu Jingzong's face flashed with a hint of discoloration, and he asked.
"Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come?"
"Xu Xiang, I heard that my father and queen mother are about to visit Jiucheng Palace? Why didn't anyone inform Lone in advance of this? ”
With a hint of eagerness on his face, Li Hong said in a deep voice.
"That's why ...... so."
Xu Jingzong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"Your Highness doesn't need to worry, Your Majesty is sympathetic to the princess and the princess who is about to give birth, and specially asks me not to notify His Highness to come and see him off!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as this sentence came out, Li Hong's face was even more ugly, Xu Jingzong realized that something was wrong, his face was slightly solemn, and he said softly.
"What, Your Highness has any urgent matter to report to Your Majesty?"
Li Hong bowed slightly, then hesitated for a moment, took out the will that Wu Liangfu had just sent from his sleeve robe, and handed it to Xu Jingzong.
The latter, with a little doubt, slowly unfolded the will in his hand.
"Xu Xiang, this matter is not trivial, this will is really not daring to accept it, so I rushed to ask my father to take back the will!"
With a hint of anxiety on his face, Li Hong spoke softly.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jingzong didn't react, calmly closed the will in his hand, frowned slightly and said slowly.
"Your Highness don't worry, Your Majesty is not the first time to leave Beijing, and Your Highness is not the first time to supervise the country, although the authority of this will has been slightly exceeded, but with the prestige of Your Highness, you can also afford it, and the old minister doesn't know why Your Highness is like this?"
When he said this, Old Man Xu's face showed a rare hint of confusion.
You must know that Li Hong has not been the crown prince of the country once or twice, even if the authority given to him by the emperor this time is higher, it can only show that the prince's favor is more profound, thinking of the tone that the emperor showed intentionally or unintentionally in the Xuanzheng Hall after today's court meeting, Xu Jingzong didn't understand why Li Hong was so panicked......
"Uh......"
Li Hong couldn't help but be speechless for a while, and then he remembered that this will had passed through the sect province, and Xu Jingzong, as a subordinate servant, how could he not know the content of this will?
It's just that this Xu Jingzong only knows one thing and doesn't know the other, if it is in normal times, he naturally won't think about anything, this is just a graceful will, but with the incident in the imperial city last night, plus the fish talisman hidden in Li Hong's sleeve now.
This is far beyond the scope of grace......
And looking at Li Zhi's meaning, it was obvious that he didn't want to give him a chance to refuse, so he would give him the fish talisman under the pretext of his name, and only after he got off to drive did he order Wu Liangfu to pass on the decree.
However, he couldn't say these things to Xu Jingzong clearly, so for a while, Li Hong's brows also furrowed, and he prevaricated.
"Prime Minister Xu, the military affairs are the authority of the king, although he lives in the East Palace, he does not dare to exceed the slightest, this will is better to ask my father to take it back......"
Xu Jingzong looked at Li Hong with a look of looking at a monster, but in the end he shook his head and pointed to the distance.
"Since His Royal Highness insists, although Your Majesty is light and simple this time, it is expected that in such a short time, he will not be able to go far, if His Highness chases after him at this time, he will still be able to catch up!"
"In this way, thank you very much!"
Li Hong arched his hand, turned over and got on his horse again, and was about to continue to catch up, but he saw a horse galloping towards this place in the distance, although he couldn't see who it was, but he was dressed in an inner service, and shouted His Royal Highness the Prince, so that Li Hong slightly reined in the horse's head and stopped.
"Your Highness, it's Xiao Qin next to the crown princess!"
In the end, Wang Fusheng was sharp-eyed, and he was more familiar with the people in the East Palace, so he immediately recognized them.
And Li Hong's heart suddenly tightened, since the last time he went out of the inner library, the Pei family has increased the supervision of the inner palace, this Xiao Qin He also has a little impression, he is a steady child, if there is no urgent matter, it will definitely not be like this.
Thinking that he was the person who served by Pei's side, Li Hong's heart sank, and between thoughts, Xiao Qin had already arrived at the gate of the city, and when he saw Li Hong's figure, he was immediately overjoyed, turned over and dismounted, and said urgently.
"Your Highness, go back quickly, Niangniang, she is about to give birth!"
Li Hong's heart was suddenly shocked, and he hesitated for a moment when he looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, but he turned around and said.
"Go back to the East Palace!"
…………
East Palace.
Li Hong hurried back, but what he saw was a busy and tense scene in the East Palace, and the little girl Qian'er was nervously directing in the outer hall, which was quite a bit of a hurry.
"Qian'er, how is Wanying?"
As soon as he entered the door, Li Hong hurriedly asked, and Wang Fusheng on the side immediately took over the work of the little girl, and took a few elderly mothers-in-law to command a group of palace maids in an orderly manner.
"Your Highness, as soon as you left today, Niangniang shouted that her stomach hurt, and the slave hurriedly called the imperial doctor to come over, but now Niangniang is still inside!"
Little girl, a teenage girl, how has she experienced this kind of thing, Li Hong was not there before, Wang Fusheng also followed, Pei's sudden situation again, but it really scared her, but fortunately, she has learned a lot with Pei's side these days, and knows that she immediately called the imperial doctor and the mother who delivered the baby to come over.
It's just that when I saw Li Hong come back at this time, I couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved and scared, and my voice became nervous.
"I'll go in and take a look!"
Li Hong wanted to go to the inner hall as soon as he raised his legs, but was blocked by the two mothers-in-law at the door.
"Your Highness, the woman gave birth uncleanly, and it was unlucky for you to go in, so you should wait outside!"
This mother-in-law was married by the Pei family at that time, Li Hong has always respected her very much, seeing that she is so insistent, Li Hong had no choice but to give up, walking back and forth at the door, not looking into the hall......
The scene is similar to Li Zhi's performance when Princess Taiping came to the world......
