Day 2.

Shen Shu looked at all parts of Kunning Palace and didn't find anything unusual.

And the incense ash mark on the center of the queen's eyebrows is slowly getting shorter and shorter every hour.

Until dusk, when Shen Shu was at a loss, news came from outside the palace that shocked everyone-

"Niangniang, there is news from the Emperor's Mausoleum that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is suffering from a vicious disease, and I am afraid that he is about to die."

"Sick with a bad disease?" The queen stood up suddenly: "How can a good and dignified person be infected with a vicious disease, the imperial doctor?" Did the Tai Hospital send a doctor? No, I still have to take it back. ”

As she spoke, the queen walked outside the hall, but was stopped by the attendant who delivered the news.

"Niangniang, the emperor has already sent Imperial Doctor Dusk...... In the previous dynasty, a minister had a fold and asked the emperor to take the prince back to the capital for treatment, but the emperor rejected it. ”

The queen twisted her eyebrows: "You go and call Shiro ......"

Halfway through her words, she thought of the previous relationship between Chu Yi and the prince, and changed her words: "Swing, this palace is going to the Taiji Hall to find the emperor." ”

Half an hour passed—

Since the queen left, Shen Shu, who was waiting in Kunning Palace worriedly, finally learned the latest news from Zhang's mother.

"The queen mother knew that the emperor would definitely not take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Beijing for treatment, so she asked the emperor to allow her to visit His Royal Highness in the imperial mausoleum."

"The emperor didn't allow it, but Niangniang said a lot of things about the prince when he was a child, saying that even if the prince made a big mistake, it was also her own blood and blood with the emperor, and now she is terminally ill, she should go to give the prince a ride anyway, and it can be regarded as the mother-son relationship in this life."

The emperor thought about Niangniang's body, and was afraid that Niangniang would fall into a knot, so he agreed. It's just that the emperor said that he can rest assured that he should let King Rui be by his side. ”

"King Rui?" Shen Shu frowned.

Since she saw Chu Zhan yesterday, she can almost be sure that the incense ash mark on the queen's eyebrows may be inseparable from the Rui Wangfu.

And today, first the prince was critically ill in the imperial mausoleum, the queen invited him to the imperial mausoleum, and the emperor also appointed King Rui to accompany him......

Almost all of these piles confirm Shen Shu's speculation in her heart.

"Why didn't the emperor let His Royal Highness King Yi accompany his mother?" Shen Shu asked suspiciously.

Mother Zhang was stunned, and replied thoughtfully: "The sage's thoughts, the slave and maid can't guess it." Xu Yes...... The emperor knew that His Royal Highness King Yi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a bad quarrel before, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's life was in danger...... In case there is something, His Royal Highness King Yi is better to avoid suspicion, so as not to be criticized by the world. ”

Shen Shu heard her say this, which made some sense.

But in Shen Shu's opinion-

The emperor's extraordinary "trust" in King Rui's father and son, and her learning from Chu Zhan that the emperor wanted to join forces with Lao Rui Wang to investigate the assassination case, may be the reason why the emperor decided to send Chu Zhan to accompany the empress.

It's just—

The emperor didn't know, and the queen was afraid that it would be "more than lucky".

I don't know that the queen's life may be closely related to the father and son of King Rui.

The emperor's consent to the empress going to the imperial tomb is undoubtedly equivalent to sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Shen Shu weighed the pros and cons very quickly in her mind.

If at this time, she bluntly said these hidden words to the emperor......

"Does His Royal Highness know about this?" She asked hurriedly.

"Your Highness should only know the news that the prince is seriously ill, and I'm afraid that the news in the palace won't spread so quickly for a while. However, the slave maid has already sent a message to His Highness. ”

"When is the Queen going to leave?"

"Niangniang was worried about His Royal Highness the Prince, saying that she was going out of the palace before the palace gate was keyed, and I am afraid that she has already boarded the car at this time." Zhang's mother replied.

Shen Shu's face changed slightly: "So fast? ”

She is just a little medicine girl now, and it is dusk again, and she wants to go to the Taiji Temple alone...... I'm afraid it's not enough to cut off my head.

"Yes, girl."

Zhang's mother urged: "So you hurry up and pack a few things you bring with you, and get in the car with Grandpa Qi, Niangniang will handpick you to follow." With you with you, if Your Highness knows, you will be very relieved. Niangniang asked the slave maid to stay in the palace, if the girl has anything, she can tell Father-in-law Qi, although Father-in-law Qi does not know the identity of the girl, for the sake of the slave maid's face, he will take more care of the girl. ”

Shen Shu was worried about how to stop the queen from going to the imperial tomb, and now when she heard that the queen ordered her to accompany her, she was simply drowsy and someone handed her a pillow.

The time was too urgent, she didn't have time to think about it at all, so she hurriedly packed up the things she brought into the palace, and under the guidance of Zhang's mother, she mixed in the maids who served the queen personally, got into the car, and headed towards the emperor's mausoleum......

*

Late at night, Tai Chi Hall.

Zhao An, the newly promoted chief eunuch, hurriedly walked to the emperor's book case from outside the palace, and reported in a low voice: "The soldiers and horses of the five cities have come to report, His Royal Highness King Yi took people and broke through the east city gate at night and went out of Beijing, but they couldn't stop it. Look at the direction...... It should be the car that chased the queen's mother. ”

"Nonsense!"

The emperor sank his face and brushed the fold in his hand aside.

"Spread my word, Zhou Zhen, the commander of the forbidden army, led the Yulin army to chase after him, and ordered King Yi to return to the palace as soon as possible." The Emperor commanded in a deep voice.

Zhao An's eyes were stunned.

General Zhou Zhen is the new commander of the forbidden army, and he is a close confidant of the emperor, and he will go after His Royal Highness King Yi with the holy oracle, and he is afraid that he will not stop until His Royal Highness is tied back.

Zhao An knew that the matter was urgent and did not dare to delay.

He was about to bow down and retreat, when he heard the emperor order: "Tell Zhou Zhen to stop Shiro and don't teach him to step into the emperor's tomb." ”

*

At this time, the queen's car arrived at the imperial tomb, and the sky was already dark.

Along the way, Shen Shu didn't dare to close her eyes, for fear that something would happen.

This is not the first time she has come to the Imperial Mausoleum, with the experience of the past, Shen Shu obviously feels that the road from the capital to the Imperial Mausoleum this time is much longer than before.

The road took more than two hours, and it took more than four hours to arrive.

The speed of the carriage was not slow, which meant that someone had deliberately detoured them.

Before the queen got into the car, she took the decoction, and for four hours, the queen fell asleep and did not wake up.

If the queen doesn't wake up, there is no reason for the entire convoy to stop.

Shen Shu has been sharing a carriage with the queen's maids, and she doesn't dare to act rashly, so she can only hope that Chu Yi can get the news and catch up.

However, until the queen got out of the carriage and went straight to the palace where the prince was, Shen Shu couldn't see Chu Yi's figure.

"Niangniang, please also ask Niangniang to stay outside the palace for a while, the imperial doctor is administering the needle for His Royal Highness the Prince, the imperial doctor specially explained, it is related to the prince's life, and no one can go in and disturb during the injection."

Outside the dormitory, Twilight and the imperial doctor who arranged for him to be on duty outside the hall stopped the queen at the door.

The queen frowned, and in desperation, she could only go to the side hall and wait.

Shen Shu quietly looked at the side hall to confirm that there was nothing abnormal, so he quietly withdrew from the side hall in the name of the queen's decoction.

After all, the imperial tomb is different from the imperial palace, and the guards are not so strict.

Shen Shu took advantage of the lack of attention, quietly found Duhe's medicine boy, and he took him into the prince's bedroom through the side door......
