610 Concubine Yu (24)
For two days in a row, there were ministers outside the Heart Cultivation Hall who asked to see them.
Emperor Zhaofeng said that the dragon's body was sick and he didn't see anything.
More ministers are taking a wait-and-see approach.
The matter has just come out a few days, although the evidence points to the prince, but the time is too short, maybe there will be a reversal - at the moment of major events, staying rational is a must-have for most officials.
In the Xianfu Palace, Concubine Yun couldn't sleep all night, and she was already haggard.
She tried to go to the East Palace, but before she could get close to the gate of the East Palace, she was unceremoniously stopped by the guards.
She didn't know what was going on with Ji'an now, and she didn't dare to think that if those ministers continued to consume like this, His Majesty would be condemned to Ji'an......
At this time, a palace maid walked back from outside, her eyebrows and eyes full of anxiety.
This is Concubine Yun's personal palace maid.
"How? What have you found out? Concubine Yun felt bad when she saw her expression, and hurriedly got up and asked.
In the past few days, every time she hears the news, her heart is hanging higher and higher.
"...... When the slave heard that the emperor personally went to the East Palace, it seemed that Long Yan was angry......"
The palace maid lowered her voice, but the panic in her tone was exposed.
"What? The emperor went to the East Palace? Concubine Yun suddenly became nervous.
Didn't you find out what you found again, and you have already determined that Ji'an is the murderer of the six princes?
"Early this morning, the emperor met with several ministers...... The slave and maid vaguely inquired that those adults not only impeached His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for immorality, but even ......"
"Or even what? Say it! Concubine Yun was extremely anxious.
"Even took the previous words of His Royal Highness to obstruct the emperor from going to Mount Tai to sacrifice, and impeached His Royal Highness for being suspicious, jealous and ...... And to use this to smear His Majesty's reputation and prestige is really disrespectful......"
When Concubine Yun heard this, her face turned pale.
Disrespectful?
How can you afford such a crime!
The palace maid is still talking.
And out of nowhere, there were rumors that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attacked the Six Princes because the Six Princes had just won the emperor's praise the night before. Later, the six princes went to the East Palace and mentioned the matter in front of His Royal Highness...... And His Royal Highness was reprimanded by the minister because of the leakage of his words at that time, and he was uneasy, fearing that he would be replaced by the four princes, so he ......"
Concubine Yun trembled when she heard this.
Now even the motive has been 'figured out'!
It's a rumor, but since it's so easy to hear, it must have been known to everyone......
And the rumors have been spread for a long time, if no one refutes the rumors, I am afraid that it will become the 'truth'!
“……”
In such a situation, I am afraid that the emperor will not believe it......
The emperor was furious in the East Palace, could it be that Ji'an insisted on denying it, and the collision angered the emperor?
At this moment, Concubine Yun even felt that the matter of the six princes was nothing, and what was even more terrifying was the word "disrespectful"-
"I'm going to see the emperor, I'm going to explain this matter to the emperor in person!"
Concubine Yun didn't care much, so she hurriedly cleaned up and went to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
The palace maid did not stop her.
What to do, I should let Niang Niang see with her own eyes what the situation is outside the Heart Cultivation Palace now-
When Concubine Yun arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, she saw a cadre of officials standing outside the hall from a distance.
She had hardly ever seen those people, but at this time, she felt terrified from the bottom of her heart.
Concubine Yun took a stagnant step and walked to the front of the hall with the palace maid.
She sensed that many eyes, both bright and dark, had fallen on her.
"There is a message from Gonggong Lao for the palace, and the palace has something important to ask to see the emperor." Concubine Yun said to the eunuch on one side, trying to make her tone sound calm.
The eunuch looked embarrassed.
"The emperor said, no one will see you today...... Concubine Yun, please go back. ”
The officials heard the words 'Concubine Yun', and their faces changed even more.
"There is really an urgent matter in this palace, and I am tired of my father-in-law." Concubine Yun's tone still showed anxiety in the end.
"Concubine Yun, don't embarrass the slave...... You see, these adults have been waiting here for most of the day. The eunuch lowered his voice and looked bitter.
Not to mention that he doesn't dare to go in to talk now, even if he does, the emperor will definitely not see him.
Seeing that Concubine Yun refused to leave, the eunuch persuaded again: "Otherwise, Concubine Yun will come back tomorrow." ”
From today to now, the emperor has never gotten out of bed, and he has not touched a bite of breakfast and lunch, and the only word he has said is - get out.
When Concubine Yun heard this, she had no choice but to leave with the palace maid.
After leaving the Heart Cultivation Hall and looking around, she felt helpless.
The emperor refused to see her, and she couldn't enter the East Palace, so could she only watch the situation get worse and worse?
Ji'an had quietly asked the palace people to pass a message to her, so that she didn't have to worry, she didn't have to do anything, she didn't have to say anything, she just needed to take care of her body.
But how could she not be worried?
Concubine Yun was restless, and unconsciously came to the front of the Jade Cui Palace.
The Jade Palace is the cold palace where the concubine of the Sun family lived after the abolition.
In the past few days, the Jade Cui Palace is the place where Concubine Yun comes most often, in the past, when she encountered difficulties, it was always Concubine Yu's sister who helped her with ideas, and she almost regarded the other party as the only person she could rely on in this deep palace.
Even in her heart, if there was no Concubine Yu, there would be no her and the prince now.
But this time, it seems that even Concubine Yu can't help her.
"The Ning clan is still unscrupulous as always......
Concubine Yu sighed and said with a worried brow: "Listening to what my sister said, the current situation is obviously extremely unfavorable...... I'm afraid that if it continues like this, it will be more than just a crime of mutilating siblings. ”
Concubine Yun listened to it tightly.
"What does Sister Yu mean by this?"
In fact, she also vaguely sensed some terrible possibility from the current atmosphere - but she still didn't dare to think about it, just regarded it as her own delusion.
"Since I have already begun to impeach the prince for disrespect, I am afraid that the Ning family still has a back hand......," Concubine Yu said worriedly: "I don't know if my sister has heard of a precedent in the Dajing Dynasty that the prince murdered the emperor with witchcraft?" ”
Concubine Yun's face changed drastically and she shook her head.
"This kind of palace secret, since it involves witchcraft, it's normal that my sister hasn't heard of it." Concubine Yu sighed, "...... With a single puppet, he was convicted of the felony of attempted murder of the king, and it is said that he was ordered to die the next day. ”
Concubine Yun was already drenched in cold sweat.
The position of the prince seems to be under one person, but it is that person, if he wants to take the prince's life, it is simply a matter of thought......
"I didn't talk about it to scare my sister. Instead, I want my sister to remind the prince that now is no better than usual, and he must take more precautions. Since the poison can be quietly put in, I am afraid that there will be more ill-intentioned ......," Concubine Yu said.
Concubine Yun nodded a little stiffly.
"I know my sister's kindness......"
