Chapter Seventy-Nine: Falling into the Lake
He Guangling didn't know why Gu Huanyi's face changed suddenly, so he hugged her and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Gu Huanyi said with difficulty: "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, you help me sit for a while." ”
He Guangling nervously helped her back to the main hall and sat down, looking left and right and saw no figure, not even a cup of tea.
Gu Huanyi's face was pale, he was still in a cold sweat, and his eyes were a little divergent.
This appearance frightened He Guangling, and she said anxiously: "You sit here for a while, and I'll call someone to pass on the imperial doctor!" ”
In the palace Jiaotai Palace, the full moon banquet of the prince is about to begin, and the guests are seated one after another.
Li Congxin came to Jiaotai Hall early, but he didn't see Gu Huanyi's figure until the emperor and queen came and the banquet began, but he still didn't see anyone.
He was anxious and wanted to go out to find it, but the emperor asked him: "Are you so uneasy because you haven't waited for your father?" ”
King Ming's congratulatory gift was sent to the palace one step earlier, and the minister with the message said that King Ming would arrive before the prince's full moon banquet, but he didn't hear the news today.
Li Congxin remembered that there was still something important today, so he had to press the uneasiness in his heart, and replied: "Back to the emperor, Weichen and his father have not seen each other for many years, and I really hope that he will come soon, but I don't know what happened on the road, and I didn't even catch up with the prince's banquet. ”
Emperor Xuan said: "I haven't seen the imperial brother for several years, and I miss it very much." Don't worry, I've sent someone to pick up people outside the city, and I'm almost there. ”
As he was talking, a guard ran over and reported: "Your Majesty, there is urgent news from the city defense camp that King Ming's car was hit by the people's ox cart and rolled into Jinji Lake!" ”
The emperor was shocked, stood up and asked, "What about people?" Is there anything wrong with people? ”
The guards said: "The city defense battalion has gone into the water to look for someone, but it has not been found yet!" ”
Hearing this, the hall was in an uproar.
Li Congxin pleaded with a tense face: "Your Majesty, please allow Weichen to bring people to the rescue!" ”
Emperor Xuan hurriedly said: "Go quickly, go quickly!" ”
Li Congxin transferred two teams of guards to leave, and before leaving the palace, he found Jin Ying and said, "I didn't see Gu Huanyi, you and the third brother are in the palace to help me find it, don't let her have anything wrong." ”
Jin Ying nodded solemnly and immediately went to Cui Jingxuan.
He was also looking for He Guangling today, but he didn't see it either, he felt uneasy before, and now he felt even worse.
Because of the accident of King Ming's car, some people at this full moon banquet were panicked and were discussing how such an accident could happen.
Concubine Zhen was a little unhappy, after all, it was her child's wedding banquet, but now it was like a scene.
Concubine Lan was already sitting in the banquet at the moment, she was by Concubine Zhen's side, and said, "Don't be upset, Niangniang, this is a good thing for you." ”
Concubine Zhen understood, was a little flustered, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense." ”
Lan Concubine laughed in a low voice: "I'm not talking nonsense, at the foot of the imperial city, on the official road, how could it be so coincidental that the ox cart collided with the king's driver?" In my opinion, this is a heavy gift from the emperor to His Royal Highness, the holy grace is vast, and the mother can sit back and relax. ”
Since the aftermath of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, Concubine Zhen has been guarding against Li Chengxu, and when the two princes were both investigated, she supported Li Congxin.
But now that Li Chengxu is still detained, Li Congxin is safe, and she has a new uneasiness.
The child is so young, and if he wants to grow up safely and inherit the throne, he doesn't know how careful he should be along the way.
If Li Congxin is alone and ambitious, it will be the biggest threat to her.
Lan Concubine's words aroused her a little bit of nonsense, could it be that the emperor was also so worried, so he began to suppress King Ming?
If something happens to King Ming, Li Congxin will return to the fief to inherit the throne, and he will no longer be an eyesore in the court, which is indeed a good thing for their mother and son.
The palace maid Ling'er sat behind the two concubines with the little prince in her arms, and when she heard this, she was so frightened that she held her breath.
When Li Congxin led the forbidden army to Jinji Lake, King Ming's carriage had been salvaged, and the accompanying coachman was also rescued, but no trace of King Ming was found.
Li Congxin asked Tang Hao, the captain in charge of search and rescue in the city defense battalion: "What about the person driving the ox cart?" ”
Tang Duwei said: "I can't know the water, I'm already drowning." ”
Li Congxin walked to the lake, looked at the corpse for a while, and then asked, "Who are the first people to go into the water to search and rescue?" ”
Tang Duwei said: "It was the four soldiers who were in charge of guarding the bridge, and after they found that the carriage had fallen into the water, they jumped in to rescue them as soon as possible, but they still did not find King Ming." ”
Li Congxin ordered him to find the soldiers guarding the bridge, and after confirming that it was these four people, he asked the forbidden army to take them away.
Seeing that his soldiers were arrested, Captain Tang explained: "The son of the world is angry! King Ming's life and death are unknown, we are also anxious and angry, but the fault is not them, they really tried their best to save it, and I hope not to anger them. ”
Li Congxin sneered: "Do you try your best to save it, or do you try your best to assassinate it?" ”
Tang Duwei was taken aback and said, "Why did the prince say this?!" ”
Li Congxin pointed to the corpse of the owner of the ox owner and said: "There are handprints on the back of his neck and bruises on his wrists. If my father really fell into the water, he would not be waiting for a rescuer but an assassin, where would he have his life to go ashore?! Come on, take Tang Duwei away! ”
King Ming was not in the car, and was quietly escorted into Beijing by Yang Xin a few days earlier.
Today's incident was deliberately done by Li Congxin, first, to see if the events of his previous life would happen again, and secondly, to lure out more threats in the shadows.
After dealing with the matter of Jinji Lake, he immediately entered the palace to resume his life.
He hid it from the emperor, and it was not right for the emperor to worry about the safety of King Ming.
The emperor was relieved to learn that King Ming was not in the carriage, and when he heard that someone was going to assassinate King Ming, he was furious and asked him to investigate to the end.
When he came out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the palace maid Ling'er was waiting for him in the dark.
"Shizi, it's not good! Concubine Lan told Concubine Zhen Niangniang that King Ming's accident was arranged by the emperor! ”
Li Congxin's brows tightened.
Not again.
is the same as in his previous life, after his father's accident, someone came to provoke the relationship between him and the emperor.
He asked, "What did Concubine Lan say to Concubine Zhen?" ”
Ling'er nodded in a panic.
Li Congxin nodded coldly and said: "They are sowing discord, don't make a noise, in addition to paying attention to the safety of the little prince, also pay attention to Concubine Lan's movements, if there is anything unusual, come again." ”
Ling'er learned that it was not the emperor who wanted to deal with King Ming, so she breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to work on an errand.
When I came out of the palace, it was already dark.
In the afternoon, Jin Ying sent a message to him, saying that Gu Huanyi was unwell and had been sent home by him, and the imperial doctor said that she was fine and told him not to worry.
Li Congxin remembered Gu Huanyi's body and went straight to Gu's house, but was stopped by Song Ping with an uneasy face.
"Miss is not feeling well, she has fallen asleep after drinking the tranquilizer, and she told no one to go in and disturb her."
Since he knew Gu Huanyi, Li Congxin had never been stopped by the Gu family, this scene was too strange!
Li Congxin sank his face, and he didn't say much to Song Ping, so he walked to the inner house.
