And while the people were about to open their mouths to persuade each other, there were chamberlains outside the tent to report that the king of the city would send messengers. Everyone looked at each other, only to see Yuan Hong and the Three Treasures welcoming the messenger in.

When Xiang Yuanhong saluted, the messenger bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the king of Rencheng has taken the Gyeonggi army to detain the crown prince back to his palace, and everything in the city is as before, please rest assured." ”

Yuan Hong bowed slightly, and then motioned for the messenger to step back, and Fang opened his mouth: "Before I left Beijing, I instructed Uncle Huang to take care of the affairs of Gyeonggi. Zisui's actions today really make my heart cold and my teeth cold..."Yuan Hong said, sadness rose from his heart, and he stopped talking.

Li Chong on the side only felt panic in his heart, but he didn't know that the emperor had already taken precautions, but fortunately he faced the saint overnight and did not give birth to hidden dangers.

After a long cup of tea, Yuan Hongfu opened his mouth again: "Xuanzhongshu order enters." ”

Everyone knew the emperor's intentions, and they all gathered their breaths and stood with their heads bowed. After a while, Liao Zhengming entered the Zhongshu order, and waited to salute Yuan Hong, and stood aside with everyone.

Yuan Hong sighed lightly and said, "Zhongshu Ling, let's draft the purpose!" ”

"I inherit the inheritance of our ancestors, and I am conscientious and conscientious, sympathetic to my ministers, benefiting the people, and maintaining peace and order in the world. The crown prince is lawless and virtuous, does not follow my precepts, acts recklessly, is violent and unkind, harbors evil intentions, does not listen to benevolence and righteousness, is intimate with villains, and bears the name of the prince in vain. The ancestors and ancestors created this country, and they must not be given to this person. Now abolish Yuan Sui as a commoner, temporarily detained in Luoyang, and after I return to Beijing, it will be announced to heaven and earth, Zongmiao, and expelled from the clan. ”

Liao Zhengming planned to revoke the edict, not waiting for everyone to speak, Yuan Hong said again: "Now that I am away from Beijing, if the prince's affairs are leaked, it will make the court unstable... Duke Longxi, you will return to Beijing overnight with the Zhongshe people tonight to help Uncle Huang stabilize the situation, and you must not let others take advantage of it. ”

After Li Chong and Lu Xiu responded, Yuan Hong closed his eyes slightly, and only waved his hand to order everyone to retreat.

After the ministers withdrew, Sanbao hurriedly summoned the imperial physician Liang Shiqing into the king's tent.

Seeing that Yuan Hong's face was pale, Liang Shiqing's heart tightened. Cautiously asking Yuan Hong to stop the pulse, Liang Shiqing said: "Although Your Majesty's arrow wound in the old year has healed, the arrow has penetrated the dragon's body quite deeply, hurting the internal organs... This disease is the most taboo for fatigue and energy, but when the capital was moved, there were many things, and His Majesty did not have a good life and recuperation, so that the injury and illness became an old problem..."

Between the words, Liang Shiqing had already started to act for Yuan Hong. After a short time, Yuan Hong's face was slightly moisturized, and his symptoms gradually faded.

Yuan Hong took the decoction offered by the Three Treasures, took a sip, and instructed: "Don't let Zuo Zhaoyi know about my illness due to arrow wounds. ”

Sanbao said: "In the past few years, Your Majesty has given instructions to the slave every time he has an arrow wound... Your Majesty is at ease, and the slave will not leak half a point. ”

Yuan Hong smiled bitterly and said, "I am confused..."

Sanbao said: "Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, how can you be confused? It's just that His Majesty treats Zuo Zhaoyi with all his heart, lest he worry Zuo Zhaoyi. ”

Seeing that Yuan Hong was silent, Sanbao knew that the emperor must have been heartbroken because of the prince's matter, so he said carefully: "Your Majesty, your dragon body is not safe, why don't you pull out the camp and return to Beijing tomorrow?" ”

Yuan Hong shook his head and said, "I have no obstacles, sacrificing to the heavens is the great ceremony of the country, and I can't delay... You go to inform the second brother, and at the beginning of tomorrow, the carriage and horse will set off for Songshan to worship the sky. ”

Trekking the mountains and treading the water, sacrificing to the heavens and mountains, and returning to Luoyang, it is half a month later.

Along the way, Yuan Hong was worried when He learned about Yuan Sui's change, so he didn't tell He about it. Until the carriage and horse approached Luoyang Palace, Yuan Hongfang told Yuan Xian about it.

On the royal car, seeing Yuan Hong's sad face, He was relieved: "Yuan Lang, although the prince's actions this time were too reckless, it was also caused by inadvertence and instigation by traitors. To err is human? It is better to give the prince another chance to be born. ”

Yuan Hong said: "Bao'er, you are too kind... I am a king first, then a father! Don't say that what he committed today is a conspiracy, but I can't forgive him for forming a party for personal gain. ”

Although He knew that the father and son of the Heavenly Family were different from ordinary people's homes, he still felt panic in his heart when he heard it today. Yuan Hong has never liked to interfere in politics in the harem, but when he heard Yuan Hong's words, He also knew that the matter was big, so he kept silent, only held Yuan Hong's hand tightly, and silently accompanied him by his side.

The car drove into the gate, and Yuan Hong and He boarded separately and returned to their respective dormitories, without further details.

When He returned to the Yonghe Palace, he washed and changed his clothes, and then there was a palace maid to come to the court, and Zheng Qiao, the right widow, asked to see him outside the palace.

He understood in his heart that Zheng Qiao must have come because of the prince's affairs. He is not an eventful person, since he has the intention to avoid things, and is about to refuse, he heard the palace maid and said: "Zuo Zhaoyi, these days, the right son has been going to our Yonghe Hall every day, just to count the time and the holy drive should return to Beijing... The right son is now about to give birth, and he is unable to move, so he has been persuaded several times, but the right son insists on waiting..."

He Ben and Zheng Qiao have a master-apprentice relationship, and when they heard this, they were moved by compassion, so they said: "You go and invite the right son to come." ”

The palace maid welcomed him into the inner hall, and Zheng Qiao didn't have time to salute, so he stopped him and said: "You are heavy now, you don't need to salute me." ”

Zheng Qiao looked at He and said, "Zuo Zhaoyi, you just returned to the palace, and Buck's Er knows that you are tired of driving and horses, so you shouldn't have come to disturb, but... There was no room for delay, and the concubine had to come to ask Zuo Zhaoyi for help. ”

Retreating left and right, and signaled the maid to help Zheng Qiao sit down in the banquet, He said: "I have heard a little about the prince, it is only about the society, I am just a harem girl, how can I help the prince?" ”

Zheng Qiao begged: "Zuo Zhaoyi, Your Majesty treats you with all your respect, if you are willing to speak for the prince, Your Majesty will definitely forgive the prince." ”

He Dao: "The prince is the prince of the country, and His Majesty has high hopes for him, and it can be said that the greater the hope, the greater the loss... Now that the crown prince has made a big mistake, don't say that His Majesty does not want the harem to interfere in politics, even if the former empress dowager is alive, I am afraid that he will not be able to change it. ”

Hearing He's words, Zheng Qiao shed tears: "Zuo Zhaoyi, Buckwheat also knows that the prince has committed a heinous crime, but Buckwheat is about to give birth now, if the prince is really wrong, wouldn't this child in the womb become the son of a criminal minister... Pity him for being condemned for eternity before he is born. ”

"Zuo Zhaoyi, you are also a mother, you have the right to pity the child in this womb, you save the prince!"

Seeing Zheng Qiao crying, He couldn't bear it in his heart, and comforted: "Qiao'er, although the prince is guilty, he is not guilty of his wife and children, Your Majesty is lenient and benevolent, not to mention that you are Your Majesty's grandson in your womb?" You can wait for childbirth with peace of mind, and don't be too worried. ”

When Zheng Qiao heard such words, she was still unwilling in her heart, so she lowered her heart and said, "Zuo Zhaoyi, do you know why the prince wants to do such a disobedient thing?" It's just because Your Majesty favors you that you favor King Changshan in everything, which makes the prince panic... This time he went to Songshan to worship the sky, His Majesty not only did not let the prince supervise the country alone, but also brought the brothers of King Changshan with him, how could the prince not feel guilty? Zuo Zhaoyi, although the prince is wrong, he is also forgivable! ”

He sighed lightly and said, "The crown prince is the eldest son of His Majesty, how can His Majesty's affection for the prince be within reach?" ”

handed the Jinpa to Zheng Qiao to wipe away his tears, and He then said: "Your Majesty is a generation of Ming monarchs, and he is definitely not a person who has misled the country because of personal feelings. ”

When Zheng Qiao gradually stopped crying, He was relieved again: "Qiao'er, you go back to the house and wait for childbirth with peace of mind, when you give birth to the emperor and grandson, Your Majesty Xu will dissipate his anger when he thinks of the love of his ancestors and grandchildren, and it is unknown if he pardons the prince." ”

Zheng Qiao bowed his head slightly, and said: "Zuo Zhaoyi, Fang is the concubine's words are not disrespectful, Zuo Zhaoyi is not to blame." ”

He smiled lightly and said, "If you care, it's chaotic, I know that you care about the prince, how can you blame it?" ”

Zheng Qiao heard He's words, compared to the fact that he went to Changxia Hall to see the right Zhaoyi Li family and was rejected in the past few days, he felt that He was more benevolent.

Zheng Qiao knew that the person he loved in the heart of Gao Rong, the concubine, was He, and now Gao Rong died because of advising the prince, and at this time he saw that He was kind to him, Zheng Qiao said emotionally: "Hardship sees the truth, Zuo Zhaoyi, you are really a good person... Only left Zhaoyi should be careful of Princess Pengcheng and right Zhaoyi, both of them are jealous and hate you, and they have ill intentions..."
