The sound of drums and firecrackers did not stop, Zhao Zhen turned over and entered the Qingshou Palace, and after landing on a rockery, he quietly poked his head out to look, only to see two guards standing at the entrance of the palace.

Not far away is a small building, that is Qingshou Building, although there are no guards downstairs, but I don't know if there is above, Zhao Zhen lay a stick of incense behind the rockery, his hands and feet were numb, and he didn't see any movement upstairs.

At this time, Zhao Zhen had already determined that there were no guards upstairs, the guards were outside, he moved his hands and feet, and quietly approached Qingshou Tower, he knew that there was a cellar under the Qingshou Palace, this cellar was very secret, not many people knew, the Queen Mother used to store a few jars of old wine there, I don't know if my father was arranged in the cellar or upstairs.

Just as he was hesitating, suddenly someone upstairs let out a few wails and moans, the voice was very painful, as if he was shouting, and as if he was crying for help, Zhao Zhen's chest hurt like a heart, and he hurriedly squatted down.

The two guards at the entrance of the hall looked over the corner, but did not move.

Drums and firecrackers sounded outside, and Zhao Zhen took the time to jump up the stairs in a few steps and tiptoe upstairs.

Upstairs, Zhao Zhen followed the groaning sound to push open a door and dodged in.

The light in the hall was very dim, not even a lamp was lit, Zhao Zhen looked towards the moaning place, and saw a bed placed against the wall opposite, and there seemed to be a person on the bed.

"Father, father—"

Zhao Zhen let out a low scream.

The man snorted a few times, as if he was very happy.

Zhao Zhen felt that the person's voice was hoarse, not like Xuan Ling, but he didn't think too much, he stepped forward quickly, and saw that there was indeed a person lying on the bed.

"It's not good—"

Zhao Zhen knew that something was wrong, and was just about to retreat, when suddenly his ankles tightened, and a rope popped out of nowhere, binding his feet, and his body was lifted up and hung upside down in the air.

It turned out that there was a big trap set upstairs in the Qingshou Palace.

Zhao Zhen saw a person sitting up on the bed, this person was dressed as a female official, her face was swollen, and she looked extremely terrifying here.

"I really can't imagine that the one who touched the Qingshou Palace was His Royal Highness King Xin!"

"You, you are Yu Shanggong, quick, let me down!"

"Alas, His Royal Highness King Xin, the queen mother is so optimistic about you, you have disappointed her too much!"

"What's the disappointment, I came to my father and wanted to see him, what's wrong?"

"Believe in His Royal Highness, isn't it wrong to disobey the queen? You are not only wrong, but also ridiculously wrong, do you say that the queen is optimistic about you in the future, or is she optimistic about the righteous king Zhaowu? ”

Zhao Zhen felt remorseful in his heart, he was still unsuspecting, and he was too easy to be deceived, but it was a pity that the task entrusted by Sister Duanfei was not completed.

"What if you are optimistic, Xiao Wang, I am an adult, I have my own judgment, I want to be loyal to the country, I want to be filial to my father, what is wrong with what I do, is the queen going to teach me to be a disloyal and unfilial person!"

Yu Shanggong sneered again and again.

"If you are disloyal and unfilial, you will buckle your hat, Han Gaozu is loyal and filial, even his wife can be left behind, King Qin is loyal and filial, and even his brothers can be killed, and now the opportunity to fall from the sky in front of His Highness, you don't know how to cherish it, it's really sad and lamentable!"

Zhao was really about to defend himself, but suddenly there was a sound of slamming the door in the distance outside.

Yu Shanggong's face changed, and he shouted: "Someone! ”

Someone outside answered, pushed the door and entered, these were two guards.

Zhao Zhen secretly blamed himself for his lack of eyesight, there were clearly hidden guards on this floor, but he didn't notice it at all.

"Who is so bold that he dares to slam the door in the Qingshou Palace, go, and arrest him!"

One of the guards hurriedly opened the door and ran out, and a moment later he ran up in a panic.

"Shanggong Niangniang, no, it's not good, it's Lord Sikong who came, he said that if he didn't open the door, he would slam the door and come in, what should I do?"

Yu Shanggong's face changed sharply, Lord Sikong is the queen's father, what is he doing at this time?

Zhao Zhen smiled coldly.

Yu Shanggong pointed his hand and said, "Come on, tie up this kid and lock him up in the cellar first!" ”

"But, but, there's the man in the cellar—"

"No matter, deal with Lord Sikong first, and His Royal Highness King Xin will talk later!"

"Yes, yes—"

The two guards hurriedly put down Zhao Zhen, tied his hands behind his back, and dragged him downstairs.

At this moment, there was a sound outside, and the door of the temple was smashed open, and then footsteps sounded.

The cellar was downstairs, and the two guards pulled open the cover, pushed Zhaozhen down, and put the cover on it with a bang.

Zhao Zhen fell dizzy and resentful.

There was a lamp lit in the cellar, and the light was very dim, and Zhao Zhen struggled to get up, but his hands were tied, and it was a little difficult to get up.

"Zhen'er, Zhen'er, how are you?"

This was Xuan Ling's voice, but it was obviously hoarse and vicissitudes, Zhao Zhen was taken aback, and said excitedly: "Father, is it you, you have woken up, but, are you okay?" ”

"It's me, I'm not dead yet!"

A figure appeared in front of him, this was a bloated old man, walking staggeringly, he was holding on to the wall to come over, if it weren't for his voice was Xuanling, Zhao Zhen couldn't believe that this was his father.

Xuan Ling was actually not fat, but wrapped in two tattered coats, so he looked bloated, his hair was unkempt, and his body exuded a sour smell.

Zhao Zhen's nose was sour, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Father, father, is it really you?"

Xuan Ling hugged Zhao Zhen, and the old tears were rampant.

"It's me, it's me, I didn't expect that you would find a way to see me among the emperors!"

"Father, you, since you are sober, why don't you go out to preside over the overall situation?"

"I've been pretending to be confused, I don't dare to wake up, and if I find out, I'll be killed immediately."

"So what to do, do you want to keep it on?"

"Of course not, but now we have to!"

"By the way, father, how did you know that it was Erchen who fell just now, not someone else?"

Xuan Ling let go of Zhao Zhen and staggered forward.

"Come on, you come here, come here and listen!"

Zhao Zhen walked over and found that it was a vent, which went straight to the roof.

Xuan Ling pressed his ear to one of the tubes in the vent.

"Listen, we can hear what is being said!"

Zhao Zhen also put his ear on it, and sure enough, there was a buzzing sound from above.

Just listen to the two muffled voices above talking.

"Say, where did you move the emperor?"

"Lord Sikong, forgive me, the queen has explained this matter, and no one can say it without her order."

"Hmph, Lan'er, this girl is crazy, go, go and call the queen to me, these things she does are incredible, what is she going to do!"

"Yes, yes—"

Hearing the sound of the guard opening the door, Zhao Zhen shrank back.

"Father, you, has the poison in your body been cured?"

Xuan Ling shook his head.

"I don't know, anyway, I feel a lot better in the past two days, but whether it will have a seizure or not, I don't know."

"Father, Concubine Duan, please ask me to bring you two pills, and said that you must use them."

Xuan Ling sighed.

"What about Concubine Duan, how is she in a situation now?"

Zhao Zhen said gloomily: "She is locked up in the Kunxi Palace, today is the third day, the queen is not allowed to send her water and food, she will starve to death, and the sons will try their best, but they can't enter the Kunxi Palace!" ”

Xuan Ling trembled with anger and said worriedly: "Three days is already the limit, I have to find someone to bring her something to eat." ”

"Yes, Erchen found Jing Guiyi and Concubine Hui, and when they heard that I was going to save Concubine Duan, their faces turned pale with fright, and they refused."

"You should go to your big brother and them."

"Father, don't you know yet, the crown prince, King Lu and King Jing are now under house arrest, saying that they led troops into the palace and wanted to seize power, just wait for the queen mother's funeral to be completed, and they will be punished!"

"Where's King Qi?"

"He suddenly became seriously ill and can't get out of bed now."

Xuan Ling thought for a moment before he said leisurely: "What kind of medicine did Concubine Duan give me?" ”

"I don't know, there are two pieces of this medicine in Erchen's arms, one for internal use and one for external application."

Zhao Zhen's hands were tied behind his back, and he couldn't move his hands yet.

Xuan Ling trembled and reached into Zhao Zhen's arms and touched two pills, one swallowed directly, and the other untied his sleeve, crushed it and applied it to the wound.
