After Shen Tuchen prepared all this, he informed Concubine Mei Guifei of the news, they have the right to know these things in advance, Shen Tuchen also wanted to tell them first, so as to prepare for Qi Jingqin's ascension to the throne earlier, at that time, if Qi Jingyang wants to fight hard, it is still very possible, at that time there will be a period of time when the defense is the weakest, if it is suddenly chaotic and loses the defense, it will be more than worth the loss.

Liang Huanqing mentioned last time that Qi Jingyang has about a dark guard battalion, which is the secret guard camp raised by Lu Gaohong and Lu Fushuang in order to protect Qi Jingyang before, a dark guard camp that only obeys Qi Jingyang's demolition, almost no one knows about their existence, almost all of them are dead soldiers, if Qi Jingyang wants to use them to break into the palace, it is not impossible.

The dark guard camp used to protect the prince of the East Palace, and he knew everything about the layout and defense of the palace, and he didn't know what they were doing behind their backs, Liang Huanqing was attacked by the dark guard camp on the way back from Yunxiao Temple, and the tail of that feather arrow was carved with a lotus flower, which was their unique mark, and in it, after the search of the Liang family's army, he also saw the corpses of the mountain bandit Wen Shihao and his subordinates.

Wen Shihao is a person that Liang Lin is very familiar with, they are bandits near the capital, occupying the mountain for many years, after Liang Fengmian entered Beijing, he once went to Zhao'an on behalf of the imperial court, but only a few villages such as Heifeng Village were unwilling to recruit An, Liang Jiajun once set foot on a few cottages in one fell swoop, but because the location of Heifeng Village was easy to defend and difficult to attack, he just went in and caught a few bandit leaders, including Wen Shihao's father.

After that, Wen Shihao grew Heifeng Village alone, in addition to robbing the house, Wen Shihao didn't know where else to get the channel to do a small business, the business became bigger and bigger, and he actually came to the capital, and he didn't know who gave him the right to do those official salt and cloth business, the emperor didn't know about it, and the officials in the capital knew but only turned a blind eye.

At that time, it was the most lively time for the crown prince Qi Jingyang and King Jing Qi Jingqin to make trouble, almost no one dared to come out of this, and then there was Lu Gaohong to control the government, after the death of Empress Lu Fushuang of Mingxian, the emperor's attitude towards the government had a trace of slackness, Lu Gaohong was an important minister in the court, and he was the head of a hundred officials, this kind of management of the government naturally fell on his head, and for some reason, with Lu Gaohong here, even if Heifeng Village sold illicit salt was blatantly done in Shangjing, no one would say anything about him.

That's it, Wen Shihao took the people of Heifeng Village to live outside the capital city, and it has always been very good, which may be related to some transactions between him and the prince of the East Palace.

Wen Shihao sells illicit salt, there is a high probability that Qi Jingyang instructed him, Wen Shihao is just running errands, and the business in Beijing is just an accident, but through Lu Gaohong's suppression, even until Wen Shihao died, these things were not announced.

Wen Shihao mainly sold illicit salt in the north and south of the Celestial Empire, and these extremely low-priced illicit salt earned him a lot of profits, and Wen Shihao knew that everything he owned at that time was based on the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince, so most of the profits were used by Wen Shihao to 1 filial piety Qi Jingyang and Lu Gaohong, their weekday robbery is just a gimmick, just to cover up the fact that they sell official salt, even if the surrounding people report to the official, it doesn't matter, the grassroots officials have long been bought by Wen Shihao.

After the death of Empress Mingxian, the emperor basically did not manage the government much, and the century-old foundation almost collapsed in the past few years, so that a small Daliang country dared to come and invade, which has to be said to be a series of closely related harms brought by Lu Gaohong's policies to the Celestial Empire.

Even if the imperial court sends officials to suppress it, it will not be long before it will find a reason to withdraw, which is Qi Jingyang and Lu Gaohong in it.

From this point of view, Qi Jingyang is far more isolated than what they see now, even if he is no longer the crown prince now, but no one dares to guarantee that in the court official system, there are also supporters of Qi Jingyang that they have not discovered, if there is, they are mixed among the court officials, obey Qi Jingyang's arrangement, it is very likely to do something harmful to the Celestial Empire during this time, maybe he thinks, if he is not the prince now, then everything in the future, even if it is a mess, it can only be Qi Jingqin to clean up the mess.

Now Qi Jingyang has nothing, if he really wants to gamble, they don't know how much trouble it will bring them.

At that time, Wen Shihao and Lu Gaohong left Qi Jingyang I don't know how much property, when Qi Jingyang spent all day drinking, he almost didn't use his own money, and he didn't know how much silver he spent every day, and now he was just demoted, but his property and the like were still not investigated, Liang Huanqing knew what he could do with money.

In the rivers and lakes, if you have money, you can buy medicine people in the Medicine Man Valley to continue your life, such things can be done, is there anything else that can't be done?

Liang Huanqing didn't have a chance to learn more about what ulterior Qi Jingyang was hiding, but now without knowing what strength the other party had, Liang Huanqing was unwilling to act so rashly, she never fought unprepared battles, which was almost the same as Liang Fengmian.

But Liang Huanqing asked Wei Shen and Zhao Zhao to secretly investigate Qi Jingyang's secret guard camp, I don't know why, but it was like they had never appeared in Shangjing, Shangjing couldn't find their traces, even if they asked some old people who had been in the palace for a long time didn't know about it, Liang Huanqing asked Qi Wangshu, here Qi Wangshu is the person who knows the most about things in the palace, and he dares to say anything, but Qi Wangshu also said that he knows that Qi Jingyang is a secret guard battalion, but no one knows their existence, Even the emperor didn't know about this.

But yes, if everyone knows, then what is the secret guard camp?

Lu Gaohong and Lu Fushuang coveted the treasury property for the sake of their prince, and privately authorized the bandits to collude to do things that endangered the imperial court, even if Qi Jingyang was deposed now, it is inevitable that some people will still treat him as a prince, this belief will not change, some people will be so stubborn, if so, then Qi Jingyang will still have many people behind him who support him, if he really wants to fight with Qi Jingqin, it is not impossible to break the net.

Now the emperor is seriously ill, although the plague in Shangjing has been effectively controlled, but there is still no efficient treatment, so the psychology of the masses is still in a panic time, after Qi Jingqin was canonized as the crown prince, the responsibility is even greater, when the people know this, their hearts are happy for Qi Jingqin, at least now in the minds of the people, if Qi Jingqin is the emperor, it is naturally much better for them than Qi Jingyang to be the emperor.

Judging from the current situation, Qi Jingqin has been busy with things outside the palace, but Liang Huanqing did not tell him that the emperor's limit is approaching, and naturally no one can tell him about this matter, everyone thinks that the emperor's condition will be improved, and he will be effectively treated under the care of Shen Tuchen, but everyone does not know, but the people around the emperor want to kill him.

Liang Huanqing knew that no one was locking his eyes on the palace now, but he was worried that Qi Jingyang would take the opportunity to do something harmful to the court after the emperor's death, which was about to become Qi Jingqin's world, and Liang Huanqing would guard it for him no matter what.

Because she can know in advance when Qi Bingyu will die, it is convenient for Liang Huanqing to prepare in advance, and her identity is also extremely conducive to controlling the whole thing, plus now that she has a reputation for pure virtue and filial piety, even if she really does something, others will not suspect her, for Liang Huanqing who is now there, cutting off that piece of meat is indeed something more beneficial to herself, but so far, she has not been able to bear to look at her vacant wound.

Liang Huanqing, as the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, and now as the crown princess, it is even more conducive to her mobilizing the army, even if Liang Lin is ready to help her, there is no problem, Liang Lin will not ask her what she wants to do, she is her own sister, she has to help whatever she wants, if she wants to say it, she will say it, and if she doesn't want to say it, even if Liang Lin wants to ask her, she won't say it.

Therefore, Liang Huanqing told Shen Tuchen that if it was the day when he was about to die, he should tell her in advance, in case there was chaos in the palace, and someone would take the opportunity to make trouble and smash the palace, and it would be a big mess.

Liang Huanqing has always been afraid of the unknown, even if she is now the crown princess of the East Palace and the mistress of the East Palace, but when she knew that Qi Jingyang had an unknown secret guard camp, she was on guard everywhere when she slept, so she had been paying attention to the news of the Qinzheng Palace, hoping that this matter would pass smoothly as soon as possible, and she would catch all the ghosts who were ambushed in the shadows.

When Shen Tuchen told Mei Guifei Niangniang the news, as soon as Mei Guifei Niangniang returned to Yichun Palace, she asked Rongfu Gonggong to go to the East Palace to send brocade cloth, the purpose was to pass on the news.

This matter is critical, it should have been Mei Guifei Niangniang to deal with this matter herself, but as soon as she returned to Yichun Palace, she locked herself in the dormitory, and she was unwilling to come out.

"Niangniang, don't cry anymore, if you let others know......" Aunt Yun Xi has been by Mei Guifei's side, and she understands the ins and outs of this matter the most, so she also understands Mei Guifei's mental journey along the way.

When the emperor's illness worsened on March 28, Mei Guifei Niangniang took all the concubines to pray for God to bless the emperor in the Buddhist hall, she was really praying seriously at that moment......

"Why...... Obviously, Hongu was determined to kill him...... But why is this palace so sad......" Xia Rongxin knelt on the ground, leaning against the door behind her, when she heard the news, she cried all the way back to Yichun Palace, her heart was full of grief, but she was helpless.

Yun Xi knelt aside, as soon as she came in, she dismissed everyone, she knew that Mei Guifei Niangniang was very sad now, for fear that someone would take advantage of this opportunity to overhear something on the wall, their current life is like walking on ice, every step is to be careful, for fear of falling, and if something goes wrong here, it will be a catastrophe!

Yun Xi saw that Concubine Mei Guifei was so uncomfortable, so she also knelt on the side and cried, crying and comforting her: "Niangniang...... Now that the matter has come to this, don't you be sad, haven't you already thought about it at the beginning? Why do you have to embarrass yourself so much? ”

During this time, Xia Rongxin knew that Qi Bingyu's limit was approaching, so she said goodbye to him again and again in her heart, wanting to really let him go from her heart, but when she learned from Shen Tuchen's mouth that the emperor was really going to die, there was still infinite sadness in her heart, as if her heart had also passed away with him.

"March...... March 31...... It's tomorrow......" Xia Rongxin repeated Shen Tuchen's estimated date, she knew that Shen Tuchen was ready, changed the medicine residue, pulled out the silver needle, and when the time came, everyone would know that the emperor died of = illness, and would not suspect anyone.

Knowing the death date of a loved one does not know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Xia Rongxin cried and broke her liver and intestines, Yun Xi didn't know what to say, and now she was powerless, she could only hug Mei Guifei tightly and not let her do stupid things.

Xia Rongxin looked at her eyes sluggishly, her face was depressed, her face was full of tears, she was already tired of crying, she looked at the exquisite and rich dormitory in front of her, all of this was given to her by Qi Bingyu, if it weren't for Qi Bingyu, she would be like countless women in this deep palace, she didn't see you coming, and washed her face with tears......

Xia Rongxin thought back to the past, but reason told her that she couldn't stop all this, otherwise she would definitely regret it in the near future, and now she had to send it when she was ready to go, and no one could stop it......

————————————————

After Rong Fu brought a few rolls of brocade to the East Palace, he asked people to send a message to the crown princess, and after getting permission, he took the brocade to the Crane Garden of the East Palace.

To be honest, Rong Fu hasn't come to Crane Garden for a long time, and if he wanted to send something in the past, he would inevitably be rejected by Qi Jingyang and Zhao Peiyu, after all, the relationship between the two palaces was not good.

As soon as he entered the Crane Garden, Rong Fu saluted Liang Huanqing: "The slave visits the crown princess, and the crown princess is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Liang Huanqing sat under the peach tree, pretended to be lazy and got up, sat up and said, "Flatten." ”

Rong Fu stood up, presented the brocade, and said, "This is the new brocade, and the concubine asked the servants to send some to make summer clothes for the crown princess." ”

Liang Huanqing made a look, Tang Xue stepped forward to pick it up, and then Yuebai sent the palace people in the Crane Garden back, leaving only the three of them.

"Is there anything going on over there?" Seeing that there were only three of them, Liang Huanqing sat up and asked Rong Fu.

Ever since Rong Fu walked in, Liang Huanqing felt very nervous in his heart, as if he had a premonition that something would happen.

Rong Fu looked left and right, and then whispered: "Niangniang asked the slave to tell the crown princess, and the emperor will ...... tomorrow I'm dying......"

Liang Huanqing's expectation was indeed not wrong, she asked, "What did Shen Tuchen say?" ”

Rong Fu nodded.

Liang Huanqing pondered for a moment, and then said to Yuebai: "Wait a while, you go out of the palace and tell your brother to get ready."
