Chapter 48: Doubts
The crown prince stood in front of the emperor's bed, with a bitter face. He doesn't know what happened to his father and Hongying, but if something happens to his father, his biggest reliance will fall, the second prince and the sixth prince are eyeing each other, coveting their position, maybe as soon as the father ascends to heaven, the two of them will take the lead in forcing the palace, and the queen may be on her side, or she may secretly support other princes, and he has no bottom in his heart....... Although he has been by the queen's side since he was a child, the queen has no deep mother-son affection for him or for the queen, some are just polite and distant, and the queen has never said anything to support her.
Outside, a little father-in-law who was waiting next to him came in and said in his ear: "Your Highness, the envoys of the Lin Kingdom ask to see you." ”
The envoys of the Kingdom of Lin came to ask for a meeting, and in the past, they were personally received by the emperor, but now the emperor is unconscious, so he has to come forward.
He strode out of the dormitory, and into the outer hall, and saw that everyone was gathered around waiting for news, and they looked at him as if they had seen prey, which made the prince's scalp tingle for a while.
He only bowed his hand to everyone and said: "Everyone, it's hard work, my father hasn't woken up yet, let's go back and wait for news, the envoys of the Lin Kingdom asked to see him, and the prince had to go out to greet him." ”
After speaking, he walked out of the Qianming Palace, and followed closely behind him.
The envoys of the Kingdom of Lin and the prince of the Kingdom of Lin stood outside and looked at the palace with their eyes down, but they could not see anything, only the nostrils of the guards guarding outside the palace gate.
The prince stood on the steps and bowed downward: "Two, please come up." ”
As he spoke, the attendants behind him stepped down the Danqi to lead the way for the envoys of the Lin Kingdom.
The two took the guards behind them to the Danqi, but were stopped by the guards at the entrance of the palace.
The prince smiled: "We have a law in Dayan that foreign weapons are not allowed to enter, so please wait outside with two guards." ”
The envoy nodded, and the prince of Linguo waved away his attendants with some impatience on his face.
The crown prince led the envoys to stop in the outer room, and said, "My father is unconscious, and he can't receive the adults in person, so it's better to rest outside, come here, serve tea!" ”
Without waiting for the envoy of Lin to speak, the prince made a decision first, and after a while, the little father-in-law brought the best tea. The envoys of the Lin Kingdom couldn't break in, so they had to sit down. Prince Lin Guo was also arranged in the seat next to him.
Bai Fengyi sat there, still thinking about his thoughts, thinking about it, but there was no result. Let's wait for the old emperor to wake up.
The prince went in, and sent the little father-in-law out and said: "The emperor has not woken up for a long time, so don't disturb the emperor here, please go back." ”
Everyone waited to no avail, so they had to go out together.
Bai Yirong and Lou Zhan returned to Chaolu Courtyard.
Yirong finally had a chance to ask some questions: "Husband, are those assassins the remnants of the previous dynasty?" ”
"I can't say, but it's very likely."
Yirong held her chin with both hands and sighed: "They really have courage, I really admire them, even the emperor dares to assassinate, they must have been planning for a long time......"
Lou Zhan covered her mouth and said, "How can Rong'er say anything, don't say these rebellious words in the future, be careful that the wall has ears." ”
"Oh." Boss Yirong pouted slightly unhappily, looking like a girl should be coquettish.
"Husband, have you seen them?"
"Who?"
"The remnants of the previous dynasty."
“...... Well. Lou Zhan looked at the curious appearance of his little wife, so he said: "The previous dynasty was tyrannical and unreasonable, but there are still righteous people, they have been lurking for a long time, and they want to come and grow. ”
"The previous dynasty is no longer there, why are they still so stubborn? He does not hesitate to live like a mouse, and there is no daylight. ”
"It's up to them to ask themselves. Rong'er, thinking about these things is useless to you, don't think about it anymore. ”
Lou Zhan stroked the top of his little wife's hair and comforted her.
"Got it, husband."
After thinking about it for a while, Yirong couldn't help but ask again: "Husband, if the emperor asks you to deal with those remnants of the previous dynasty in the future, do you have a strategy to deal with it?" ”
Lou Zhan smiled and said, "I haven't thought about these things yet, just try my best for my husband." ”
"Well, I don't know how Celestia is now......"
"Hongying is estimated to have been taken captive by the other party, and I don't know how high the other party's skill is, and he can actually take the eldest princess captive, it seems that there are not only masters among them, but also very familiar with the situation here, or rather, they are extremely well planned."
These words made De Yirong fall into deep thought, and after a while, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed, and said: "Husband, could it be that the eldest princess regretted agreeing to Prince Linguo's courtship, so she directed and acted in this play by herself, creating the illusion that she was taken away by the remnants of the previous dynasty?" After all, the Xishan enclosure was so tight, and the people who were so familiar with the emperor's whereabouts, who else were the people around the emperor? And the people around the emperor don't have the courage to do these headless things, and among these royal relatives and nobles, no one will be stupid enough to collude with outsiders to assassinate the emperor, so after ruling out these possibilities, it can only be explained by the eldest princess herself acting in this scene. If not, then the remnants of the previous dynasty really have such a great ability to monitor the emperor's every move at any time? ”
But as soon as she finished speaking, she was immediately denied by Lou Zhan: "No, Rong'er, you have overlooked one of the most important places, that is, the emperor has been drugged." ”
Yirong said: "The emperor is just drugged, he should be cooperating with the grand duke to star in the play......"
Lou Zhan shook his head and said, "Rong'er, do you believe that the emperor can do such a thing?" Once the emperor decides something, even if it is difficult and dangerous, he will definitely be able to do what he says, and for this, the emperor can be said to be an emperor who is true to his word. ”
"Maybe the eldest princess hid her plan from the emperor, and the emperor didn't know it?"
Lou Zhan shook his head again: "No, the eldest princess has a straightforward temperament, and there will never be such a trick." ”
Hearing her husband praise another woman like this, and seemed to be very familiar with this woman, Yirong felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't show it, but continued: "Then I don't understand...... But if this is really not a play directed and acted by the eldest princess, then it seems that her situation will be more dangerous, husband, what should we do? The eldest princess is very important now, in case Lin Guo thinks that the eldest princess did it on purpose, then she really can't tell if she has a mouth. ”
Lou Zhan grabbed Yirong's hand and said: "Don't worry, if the remnants of the previous dynasty caught the eldest princess, I believe they won't do anything to the eldest princess for the time being, maybe they will use her as a bargaining chip, now, we can only wait for the emperor to wake up, I think, I will see tomorrow morning." ”
Yirong squinted and smiled: "I believe in the husband." ”
