Act 116 The Truth of Peeling Back the Cocoon

Remember in a second

"I'm not leaving, those people have already started digging up my mother's grave, if you can't find them as soon as possible, maybe they will be chased to Yumen Villa soon." Jade Xuan roared in despair.

Seeing her like this, the emperor couldn't stand the distressed frown, and took advantage of her unpreparedness to faint, picked her up and ordered, "You continue to look here, and if there is any news, notify me immediately." ”

"Yes, the emperor should take good care of Xuan Xun, don't let her be rash."

The eleventh prince hugged Shi Ruomei and comforted, "Don't worry, with the emperor here, it will be okay to find a concubine." ”

The next day, the unconscious Yu Xuanxun was awakened by a nightmare, and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead. Seeing the emperor beside him, he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart and rushed over and called, "Your Majesty, the concubines dreamed last night that they had killed Yumen Villa, and not only dug up the body of their mother, but also gave their eldest brother and sister-in-law to ......."

As soon as the emperor touched Yuxuan's cold and piercing hand, he immediately woke up. Hugging her and shivering, she comforted, "You are just too nervous, the Yujing family is stationed in a military powerhouse, no matter how fierce they are, they dare not openly challenge the elite army of my Ziqing Dynasty." ”

"But ......"

Holding her face and comforting, "Sleep again, if you don't feel at ease, I will immediately send someone to the border to inquire about the news, and by the way, let Yujing be more vigilant and not fall into their ambush." ”

Hearing these words, Yu Xuanxun's heart settled down a little, and he fell asleep again under the emperor's comfort.

The emperor got up lightly and instructed the palace maid not to wake up Yuxuanxun, and if there was anything abnormal, he must report it in time before leaving worriedly.

In the past two days, under the careful company of the emperor, Yuxuanxun's mood has also improved. After all, she cares too much about the purpose of those killers, and she really wants to find out what the dark forces behind it are.

But now I understand that it is useless to be anxious, so I slowly relax. The emperor spent most of his time with her for a few days, so he accumulated a lot of state affairs, and when he saw that she was in a good mood, he went to take care of himself.

The eleventh prince and Shi Ruomei went out of the palace to do errands, and for a while, Yuxuan couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he thought of King Rui and his wife who were still living in Jinghua Pavilion.

If it weren't for the help of King Derui, I am afraid that I would not be able to enter the palace safely, let alone meet the emperor, but now I think that King Rui is the matchmaker between her and the emperor.

"Concubine Xunniang, why are you here?" King Rui came over with some medicine and explained, "Jing Xuan's hand has not healed yet, and this king is about to change the medicine for her." ”

Yu Xuanxun followed King Rui into the room, looked at his hands still wrapped in gauze and asked, "It's been better these days, have you hurt your bones?" ”

"I'm worried about the tired mother, and the courtiers are much better." glanced at King Rui and said angrily, "It's just that the prince is too nervous, so he has to bandage me for a few more days." ”

Yuxuan smiled lightly, "This shows that the prince cherishes you." ”

King Rui closed the door vigilantly, and said while changing the dressing for Princess Rui, "What has Niangniang found in the palace during this time?" ”

"Zheng Zhinian, Jiao Jiuxing, Pang Tian." Yu Xuanxun's face sank, and explained, "My father's death has nothing to do with these three people, and now this palace has found out this Zheng Zhinian, since he left the barracks, I don't know what opportunities he has gotten, but now he has become the prime minister of the government and the opposition." ”

After taking care of the wound, King Rui took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, and the pattern printed on it was clearly what the gang was looking for. ”

"Since you left, the prince has sent people to guard General Yuheng's body day and night." Princess Rui whispered cautiously, "One night, several assassins suddenly broke in with the intention of snatching the body of General Yuheng, and they left this behind in the chaos at that time. ”

"Since then, this king has secretly investigated this matter, and the result has finally made some progress." King Rui pondered, "The mark on this is a token of the prime minister's secret correspondence with the enemy. ”

Yu Xuanxun suddenly realized, "According to the prince's intentions, this prime minister is to cooperate with the enemy army, so he did not hesitate to set a trap to kill my father, in order to weaken the power of our army and shake the heart of our army?" ”

Lord Rui nodded, and Princess Rui explained, "Fortunately, we quickly found out that the details they planted in the army disrupted their plans, so as not to suffer heavy losses." But before he could ask anything, the man took poison and committed suicide. ”

"It must have been trained to be a detail, and it is not surprising that there is such a result." Yu Xuanxun said indifferently, "I wonder what evidence the prince has since returned to the imperial capital this time?" ”

King Rui shook his head without finding anything, "This king only knows that this matter has nothing to do with the prime minister, but as for the evidence, he has no way to start." ”

Yu Xuan thought for a while and proposed, "The current identity of this palace is inconvenient to move, but if you want to find out the real reason why the three prime ministers left the army back then, the only way to find out is to find the old general Tong Su and ask clearly." ”

After a pause, he continued with a heavy heart, "I have heard from my mother that Zheng Zhinian and Jiao Jiuxing were both subordinates of the old general Tong Su, but they parted ways for some reason, and they have not been heard from since. Now that he has changed his identity and returned to the court, there must be an unknown secret behind this. ”

"I think it's been a long time since I've been back to see my grandfather, so it's better to take this opportunity to go back with me and ask things clearly." Princess Rui thought about it and proposed.

King Rui had a hint of suspicion, and asked Yuxuanxun, "Is Niangniang's news reliable?" I don't know from whose mouth did you hear about it? ”

"Aunt Weining." Thinking about the relationship between King Rui and the emperor, he smiled lightly, "This person must have an impression of the prince, I don't know if her words can be trusted?" ”

"What does Niangniang mean is that Aunt Weining is the prime minister?" King Rui's face was full of disbelief.

Yu Xuanxun sighed helplessly, "If it weren't for the emperor's joke back then, I'm afraid it wouldn't have caused a lifetime of regret to Aunt Weining." Aunt Wei Ning is just trying to find her long-lost daughter, so she will be used by the prime minister to become his eyeliner in the harem. ”

If it weren't for Ren Huan's child who drank that cup of poisoned wine for her, I'm afraid he would have been dead by now.

"In this way, the prime minister's conspiracy has already been planned, and the forces that coveted the former emperor and the princes before did not dare to start." King Rui said bitterly, "Now he must see that the emperor's strength is weak and his troops are scattered, and if he attacks in groups, he will definitely have no power to counterattack." ”

"Isn't the emperor's situation very dangerous." Yuxuanxun asked anxiously.

"Now we don't know his true intentions, and the truth is not yet clear, before we figure out the reason, Niangniang must not mention a few words to the emperor, otherwise it will only startle the snake." King Rui solemnly advised, "Old General Tong will leave it to us, and Niangniang is waiting for news in the palace." ”

Yu Xuanxun nodded and instructed, "You also have to be more careful, although the Empress Dowager Xiaohui has not taken any more action against you since that day, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not act secretly." ”

"We have been prepared, so don't worry about it."

Coming out of Jinghua Pavilion, Yuxuanxun unconsciously came to the Huanyi Bureau, the palace maids who didn't have a good face before leaned over to please, and the Huanyi steward greeted him timidly, "The old slave saw the concubine Niangniang, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”

Yu Xuanxun glanced at her impatiently, and said perfunctorily, "Let's get up, this palace came to find Aunt Weining this time, where is she?" ”

The Huanyi steward, who had just stood up, fell to the ground again with weak legs, and only commanded, "Why don't you go and invite Wei Ning quickly, saying that the concubine Niangniang wants to see her." ”

"No need, you can take the palace to it."

The Huanyi steward hesitated for a while, but finally leaned over to lead the way in front, and saw Aunt Weining drying her clothes there alone from a distance.

Xu saw the arrival of Yuxuanxun, and the meal in his hand stood in place, and the Huanyi steward said timidly, "Concubine Xun Niangniang wants to see you, and go with Niangniang." ”

"The old slave has seen the concubine Niangniang, and Lao Niangniang came over in person, which is really tormenting the old slave."

Following Aunt Weining's movements, Yu Xuanxun found that her hands were not only red and swollen but also full of wounds, Dai Mei frowned slightly and moved her steps, turned around and gave the Huanyi steward a slap, and scolded, "Who gave you the courage to abuse Aunt Weining so much, do you really think that the palace will no longer be able to cover Aunt Weining?" ”

The Huanyi steward knelt on the ground with a hot face and begged for mercy, "The old slave is wrong, I hope that the mother will forgive me, the old slave shouldn't treat Aunt Weining like this, the old slave should die." ”

"You really deserve to die, but this palace doesn't want to kill you yet, this head is temporarily tied to your neck first, don't get out of here." Yuxuanxun was not angry and scolded himself.

The Huanyi steward crawled down, and Aunt Wei Ning choked up with gratitude, "It's good to see you come out of the cold palace safely." ”

"It was the main palace that put you in such a predicament, this Huanyi Bureau shouldn't be the place for you to stay, it's better to follow the main palace to Naruhito Palace." Before Aunt Weining could answer, he instructed the maid beside him, "Magpie, take Aunt Weining to the Taiyi Bureau to take a good look, and come back after this hand is bandaged." ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey." The magpie said and went to help Aunt Weining.

Aunt Weining bowed her head slightly and said gratefully, "The old slave will never forget the grace of the mother." ”

Yu Xuanxun also left the Huanyi Bureau with them and returned to Naruhito Palace alone. The emperor ordered someone to buy her some new clothes and jewelry, and the chief manager of Laining said, "The emperor said, I won't come to stay in the imperial study tonight, I hope that the mother will rest soon, don't think nonsense." ”

"The palace knows, and I hope that my father-in-law will take care of the emperor."

The palace maids put down their things and withdrew with the head of Laining, and the rewards in the room were really dazzling, although she didn't care about these, but when she thought that it was the emperor's heart, she couldn't help but feel warm.

Any worries are now swept away.
