In fact, whether it is Empress Yang of the quasi-empress dowager, or Mao Guifei, the "biological mother" of the little emperor, Ping Suli rarely has the opportunity to meet the little emperor.

The little emperor was almost immediately born and was carried into Chaoyang Palace by the Empress Dowager, Empress Yang and Mao Guifei came to Chaoyang Palace every day to ask for peace, but unless the Empress Dowager was happy, they couldn't see the little emperor at all.

As long as the Empress Dowager holds the little emperor in the palm of her hand, even if Empress Yang and Concubine Mao are promoted to the Empress Dowager, whether it is the court or the harem, there is nothing to do with them.

When Yu Zheng said that he couldn't find the little emperor just now, the first thought that flashed through Mao Guifei's mind was: The empress dowager had to put them together before she died, hiding the little emperor.

If you want to hide a baby in swaddling clothes, it is easy to say, but it is not difficult to say.

Otherwise, how did the emperor of the previous dynasty, who hid in the palace until he was six or seven years old and did not recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, survive?

Of course, the Empress Dowager wanted to hide the little emperor, of course, not because she was worried that the two empress dowagers wanted to kill the little emperor.

If there is anyone in this world who doesn't want the little emperor to die, it is Empress Yang and Mao Guifei.

Concubine Mao thought like this, because she knew that the Empress Dowager hated her to the bone, and the Empress Dowager didn't like Empress Yang, so it was normal for the Empress Dowager to let Yu Zheng hide the little emperor before she died.

But Empress Yang's thoughts are more far-reaching than Concubine Mao's.

Whether the little emperor is dead or alive, she is the queen mother.

It is not without precedent in history that children are raised from the clan.

This little emperor from the Yang family died, so he would hold another one from the Zhou family, and she was still the queen mother, but the concubine became the heir.

Therefore, Empress Yang's reaction was not as strong as that of Concubine Mao.

She asked in a deep voice, "If you come truthfully, how is Your Majesty?" ”

The waiter took a deep breath, and finally was able to say it smoothly: "Back to the queen mother, Your Majesty is by Master An's side, the dragon is fine, please rest assured, this time Master An has already sent someone over, the little one is running fast, I am afraid that the queen mother is worried, so I will come back and forth first." ”

People outside the palace may not know who Master An is, but Empress Yang and Concubine Mao do.

There is Master An in the mouth of the inner servant, who is the old princess An Wenda, the queen mother of Dangxia.

The old princess Anwenda became a monk in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and now she happens to be in the Chaoyang Palace.

It's just that the place where she lives is still some distance away from the Queen Mother's bedroom, how could the little emperor be there with her?

Mao Guifei clasped her hands together: "Amitabha, Your Majesty is fine." ”

Empress Yang was puzzled in her heart and asked the chamberlain: "Was it the nurse and the palace maid beside His Majesty who took him to Master An?" ”

If this is the case, it makes sense, there are assassins in Chaoyang Palace, and they are out of the water again, and the nurses and palace maids take the little emperor and hide in the courtyard of Princess An, because Princess An is a monk, they may think that there can be Buddha and Bodhisattva protection there, and it is still possible to hide and hide.

But the waiter shook his head and said, "The slave and maid don't know, Manager Yu ordered us to go to Your Majesty, and the slave and maid happened to meet Master An's father-in-law Qi, who told the slave maid, and the slave and maid have never seen Your Majesty, nor have they seen the people around Your Majesty." ”

"What? Father-in-law Qi didn't bring His Majesty over? Mao Guifei's phoenix eyes widened, and there was a faint anger in her voice.

It turned out that Princess An didn't ask Father-in-law Qi to send the little emperor back, but just asked Father-in-law Qi to come over and say something.

At this moment, an attendant said, "Father-in-law Qi has arrived." ”

Empress Yang's face was calm: "Xuan." ”

Father-in-law Qi is the old chamberlain beside Princess An, he hunched his back slightly, his steps were heavy, and after seeing Empress Yang and Concubine Mao, he said similar things to the chamberlain just now.

Empress Yang asked: "Now that the thieves have been subdued, and Chaoyang Palace is safe, why didn't Master An let people send His Majesty back?" ”

Father-in-law Qi's face was calm, and his words were not hurried: "The slave and maid returned to the queen's mother, not because the master did not want to send His Majesty back, but because he could not send it back." ”

Mao Guifei's eyes were about to erupt with fire, she never expected that the mother of the other king, who had long been out of the world, would also have the idea of a little emperor.

By the way, the Empress Dowager has always looked at Princess An differently, eight or nine times out of ten, which is also the arrangement of the Empress Dowager.

What is there about a person like the Empress Dowager that she can't think of and can't take precautions?

I have to say that from childhood to adulthood, Concubine Mao really didn't have a good impression of the Queen Mother. Once a person does not have a good impression of another person, no matter what that person does or says, it is malicious in her eyes.

"Come on, go and bring Your Majesty back, this is Daqi's harem, not Dang Xia's ......," Mao Guifei roared.

Empress Yang turned her head to look at her, Concubine Mao did not continue, but Empress Yang did not stop her, and said to Zheng: "You take someone with you." ”

What Queen Yang said was "bringing people", Yu Zheng understood that the person Queen Yang asked him to bring would of course not be the palace maid, but the guard, the Yulin Army.

Yu Zheng left in response, and Empress Yang said to Gonggong Qi: "It's okay, you tell the mourning family in detail, why can't Master An send His Majesty back." ”

Father-in-law Qi still had that calm tone, and he said, "The assassin has kidnapped Master An, and Master An can't help himself. ”

In just two sentences, everyone was stunned.

"Assassin...... And the assassins? "Empress Yang couldn't believe it, not only did she not believe that there were assassins, but this old chamberlain was too calm.

Qi Gonggong said: "The assassin found Master An with His Majesty in his arms, and held Master An hostage, and asked the slave maid to come over and tell the queen that His Majesty was in good health. ”

Empress Yang felt that the air around her suddenly became thinner, and she was a little breathless, she said slowly, "How many assassins are there, and what are they trying to do?" ”

Of course, the assassin would not really ask Gonggong Qi to report his safety, what he wanted to convey was that the little emperor was in his hands.

Qi Gong said fairly: "There are more than ten assassins seen by the slave maid, they are all Yulin Army, at first the slave maid thought that they were ordered to protect Master An, so they opened the courtyard door for them and let them in, after they came in, the slave maid saw one of them holding His Majesty in his arms......

Sun Zhong, who was present with the Yulin Army, only felt that the roots of his hair stood up, Yulin Army? These people turned out to be the Yulin Army? Or is there an assassin in the Yulin Army?

"No, it must not be the Yulin Army", Sun Zhong stepped forward and knelt down, and said, "Queen Mother, the subordinates of the lower officials are either the children of Wuxun, or they have served in the army for several generations, they are loyal to the Emperor Daxing, to Your Majesty, and to the Empress Dowager, and will never do such a thing, the lower officials think that those assassins are all pretending, and the lower officials ask for orders to take down the assassins immediately!" ”
