Chapter 386
"The princess, the side concubine asks to see."
Today is the tenth day of the closure of the palace of the king of Yu, and unlike the situation that has just been closed, there are no fights and screams outside the palace now, which makes the people of the palace sigh at the wisdom and foresight of the princess.
After all, the Lantern Festival is coming, but the princess Niangniang ordered the house to be closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, which really makes people have a lot of complaints in their hearts. Now, everyone is very happy with the decision of the princess. On the night of the Lantern Festival, there was a raging fire on the street where the lanterns were appreciated in the capital, reflecting half of the sky.
"Lord Qinghe?" Wu Wanyi pinched her temples, she hadn't rested well these days, and there was a thunderclap outside, and she didn't know what the situation was. "What kind of demon is she going to do at this time? Missing! Wu Wanyi didn't have the heart to deal with her at all.
Jiang Zi had to go out to refuse An Yuanyuan's request, but An Yuanyuan was determined to see Wu Wanyi today, so she knelt on the ground and refused to leave.
"Princess Niangniang, the side concubine Niangniang knelt on the ground and refused to leave!" Jiang Zi had no choice but to go back and report to Wu Wanyi again.
"She loves to kneel!" Wu Wanyi shook her hand impatiently, "What about the day, is he back?" ”
"I haven't come back from the guard, don't worry, as soon as the guard comes back, the slave will inform him to come and return to my mother." Jiang Zi comforted Wu Wanyi and said. In fact, she was more worried about the safety of Liri than Wu Wanyi, and she had been out to inquire about the news for three days but had not returned. But the sound of fighting that can be heard in the house is getting louder and louder, more and more. Jiang Zi is really worried that something has happened to Liri outside.
"Mother, I'm back from the guards." Yan Hong's eyes were red, and she stayed by the door whenever she was free, just looking forward to seeing Liri return safely, and she had hardly rested for the past three days.
"Coming back?" Wu Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly got up to greet her. Before she could step out of the door, Liri returned.
"My subordinates have seen the princess." Except for some more wind and frost all over his body, there are no obvious wounds.
"Hurry up!" Wu Wanyi asked eagerly, "How is the situation outside now?" ”
"Niangniang, now that the gates of the capital have been closed, no one is allowed to enter or leave. Prince Rui took the lead, and the people who took the lead in moving Sima of the Five Cities controlled most of the situation in the capital. Liri said, "Because of the blessing of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Lord Yan is not to be outdone, and he also controls part of the situation in Beijing. The Xie family is an anchor, the murder of a woman in the capital, and the case of Princess An also involved the case of buying and selling officials by the officials. The fighting in the city in the past few days is that Rui Wangye's people are cleaning up Prince An's henchmen. ”
Wu Wanyi pursed her lips, "This Xie family is really involved in moving the whole body, and the entire capital has changed because of their family." What about the emperor? Did the emperor allow a few princes to behave like this? "A few days ago, I could send someone out to inquire about the news, but now I can't go out at all, Yinghan stood on the roof and looked at it, it is said that there are a lot of corpses on the street, and I don't know if innocent people have suffered.
"The palace is very tightly guarded, and the subordinates are incompetent, and at most they can sneak into the fourth palace gate, and they can't go inside." Liri shook his head, "The situation in the palace is still unknown. However, judging by the actions of the forbidden army, the emperor should not have been held hostage. ”
"Alas! I don't know when the capital will be able to restore Qingming. Wu Wanyi sighed.
"Princess Niangniang, there is one more thing that your subordinates think you should pay attention to," Liri said with a heavy face, "When my subordinates were leaving the palace, they heard the chatter of several forbidden soldiers, and it is said that there is news that the master was killed in the northeast. ”
"Didn't my father get this thing a long time ago?" Wu Wanyi frowned, "My father didn't let everyone pass it on before, but now it's out to make the situation more anxious?" ”
"The subordinates don't look at this news like it's coming from the palace." Liri shook his head, "What they mentioned is the market, but the market is from outside the palace, and now every family in the capital is closed, and everyone is concerned about their own safety, how can anyone spread this kind of gossip?" ”
"If that's the case, then someone is going to do something to our Servant Palace!" Wu Wanyi's eyes widened, "Gather Steward Zhu and the head of the guards in charge of the safety of the mansion to this concubine." This concubine has something to order! ”
"Won't it?" Ying Han's eyes flashed, "A few princes won't attack the palace anymore, right?" ”
"If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, no matter what kind of emergencies we encounter, we must have a countermeasure." Wu Wanyi thought for a while, "Yan Hong, you go and bring the booklet from the treasury to the concubine, I want to see how many weapons and blades there are in the house!" ”
"Niangniang, the side concubine Niangniang is still kneeling outside the courtyard." Just when everyone was busy, Jiang Zi came in and reported. Because the stewards went in and out, An Yuanyuan knelt in the middle of the courtyard gate and was very dazzling.
"These pieces of furniture can be dismantled, and the people in the firewood room can be split into small wooden strips, and then they can be dipped in oil to make rockets." Wu Wanyi pointed to some idle furniture on the booklet and said. When she was counting just now, Wu Wanyi found that the sharp blades in the house were not fully stocked. When Long Jingyi left, although he had a lot of arrangements for the defense of the palace of the king of Yu, it was all for sneak attacks and assaults, and if he faced a large-scale entry into the palace, he and the guards in the palace said that they couldn't last a stick of incense. For this reason, Wu Wanyi discussed with them for a long time before formulating layers of defense levels.
The arrow is stained with oil and fire, which is the first level of defense, and if this pass is guarded well, it is impossible for anyone to attack the mansion.
"There must also be two attack points at the back door, so as not to be exploited to attack the house." Wu Wanyi ignored Jiang Zi's report and continued to arrange, "Let the old, weak, sick and disabled in the house be crowded in this area, so as not to be injured by mistake..."
"Alright, you all follow these instructions and go down and arrange first!" After Wu Wanyi repeated the things that everyone summarized one by one, she made sure that nothing was missed before letting everyone leave. "Go and call the concubine in!"
Wu Wanyi pinched her temples, if she was still restless and looking for trouble for herself, she would definitely cut her this time.
"The concubine asks the princess to say goodbye." When An Yuanyuan came in, her whole body was already frozen, her eyes were frozen because of tears, and her eyes were all frozen into beads, and her eyes couldn't move.
"Say it! What do you have to disturb this concubine? Wu Wanyi said extremely impatiently, "Didn't you see that Concubine Ben was busy?" ”
