There was a sudden assassin in the palace, and the queen mother and concubine were all injured, such a big thing was much more serious than the last Zhongyuan sacrifice, and the officials and relatives present naturally couldn't leave until they found out.

When the people from the Tai Hospital arrived, they checked the pulse and asked the doctor to check the wound, but found that the stabbing dancing dagger was also quenched with poison.

Concubine Wei only broke her skin a little, which was better than the Empress Dowager Qin, who was firmly rooted in the flesh. Although the latter was lucky enough to avoid the vital point and was only pierced below the collarbone, it was also pierced to a depth of half a finger, and the poison spread faster, coupled with the fear, he had fainted at this moment. Concubine Wei was quite calm, but her face was a little pale.

When retreating to the inner room of the side hall to treat the wound, Pei Bao'er looked at Concubine Wei's wet skirt and carefully apologized.

"I was in a hurry, so please don't blame the concubine."

Concubine Wei raised her eyes to look at her, her eyes were a little fluttering, and she said after a long time: "It's okay, the clothes are thick, and you can't burn them." ”

At this time, a lot of the palace maids who were originally on duty in Ronghua Hall were brought up for questioning, and most of the rest were busy serving at the Empress Dowager Qin's place, Pei Baoer could only do it herself, and when the medical girl was dealt with, she became a little palace maid who changed her clothes for Concubine Wei.

Concubine Wei's eyes softened more and more, and even patted her hand, pulling her to go over to visit another noble injured person, Empress Dowager Qin. Fortunately, Imperial Doctor Zhang's parents were stunned to hold Concubine Wei and not let her go, and they had to let her recuperate.

"Although the concubine is only slightly injured, the murder weapon is quenched with poison, so it is best to be careful. Weichen prescribes a prescription for detoxification, and the concubine must eat it for a few days, so you must not act rashly at this time......"

Concubine Wei said very regretfully: "In this case, my daughter-in-law will go over and have a look for me." ”

It just so happened that the little fat man Qi and the other little radish dices were sent over together, and his face was either panicked or curious, and he was a little naïve about the world. Concubine Wei pointed to the little fat man and said, "I just have my grandson with me, you can go." ”

Pei Bao'er had to go, and over the heavy human wall, she could hear Princess An's cry, as if what had happened to the Empress Dowager Qin.

"Sister-in-law, how is the Queen Mother? What did the Imperial Physicians say? ”

Princess An saw that her face was very ugly, and she stabbed without being soft or hard: "Yo, I remember my mother at this time, and you only remember that there is a mother concubine~"

Pei Baoer didn't bother to talk to her, and squeezed in directly past her.

I saw that the Empress Dowager Qin had recovered her breath under the joint treatment of the imperial doctors and the medical women, and her consciousness was revived, and she was lying there dying, silently shedding tears.

"What kind of sin did the mourning family do, they ended up in such a situation~ A good Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet turned out to be like this, where is the face of my royal family~ The mourning family might as well follow the first emperor, it's a hundred~"

Before Pei Baoer could say a few words of polite comfort, Princess Na'an pounced, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to hug and cry, as if they had been greatly wronged.

Well, the Empress Dowager Qin was injured by the assassination, and it really makes sense to be wronged. But with such a posture, Pei Baoer's intuition was not quite right, and she always felt that they were playing on the topic.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the news that the commander of the guards had been removed and replaced, and the reason was naturally that the security work was not in place.

The original commander of the guards was surnamed Lei Mingchang, who was Qi Heng's person, and the new commander of the guards was Cao Liu, the son of the Marquis of Chengen. This person is the maiden nephew of the Empress Dowager Qin, who has been in the guards for many years, and was originally the deputy commander, but was later squeezed down by Qi Heng's people.

When she got the news, Pei Baoer also followed the princesses to pretend to be filial sons and grandsons, and she subconsciously glanced at the expressions on everyone's faces, especially the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Empress Dowager Qin and Princess An. Not surprisingly, the faces of these two people showed a more or less smug expression, while the others were more cautious and worried.

If you really want to talk about it, everyone present can be regarded as a family, but where is the royal family affection at all. Except for Princess An and Pei Baoer, the daughters-in-law of the two injured people, the rest of them are more or less suspicious. Although it was said that instead of assassinating the emperor, he assassinated the queen mother's concubine, which can be regarded as a proper stupid move, but everyone was still cautious, for fear of being involved in something.

The atmosphere was tense and weird, even Princess Ning, who was usually straightforward and talkative, was like a gourd with a sawed mouth, just sitting silently on the side, like Pei Baoer and Princess Kang, this concubine trio was in stark contrast to Princess An who was crying with Empress Dowager Qin on the other side.

After a while, maybe they had cried enough, and the two also collected their tears, and the Empress Dowager Qin gasped slightly: "I don't know how the regent's trial is going?" Come on, go to ......"

In the middle of her sentence, the attendant who came to report the news for the second time came again. It's just that what he said is a little unbelievable.

Until everyone was informed that they could leave the palace, Princess Ning's heart fell into a big stone, and she bit Princess Kang's ear and said, "This is too outrageous, right?" That dancing girl actually assassinated under the banner of avenging her sister? How many years has the emperor been gone, her own sister died earlier, she is young, where can she remember......"

Princess Kang turned around and looked at the palace wall shrouded in darkness and darkness, and her thoughts were even heavier: "Brother and sister speak carefully." Since it is the statement of the Criminal Division, we naturally have to listen to it and believe it. ”

At the same time, Pei Baoer was outside the palace gate, first put the little fat man into the carriage, and then helped Concubine Wei up, ready to return to the palace.

The one who came to see off was one of the personal maids of the Empress Dowager Qin, who was specially dialed to see off the two of them, leaned against the wall of the car with a sincere face and said: "The concubine is not feeling well now, why do you need to be so tired, wouldn't it be cheap to rest directly in the inner palace?" It's the same when I go back to the palace tomorrow. The Queen Mother remembered the concubine Niangniang, and instructed the slaves and maids that all the furnishings and materials in the Changle Palace were the same as before, and they had to be cleaned every three days......"

Concubine Wei raised her hand, "Okay, thank the Queen Mother for my kindness." Then he said no more, lowered the curtains, and ordered them to set out.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went back in separate cars, because it was not Beiyan who followed Pei Baoer into the palace today, but Bai Lan, who didn't talk much, so the return trip was very quiet.

Since the accident, Pei Bao'er hadn't seen Qi Heng, she could only listen to the words of the people below, and she always felt a little upset in her heart. Coupled with the change of the position of the commander of the inner palace guards, she was a little inexplicably panicked and had an ominous premonition.

Maybe it was seen by Concubine Wei, and after getting out of the car, it was rare to take the initiative to say a few words to her: "San Lang has passed through a lot of winds and waves, don't be so petty." Just take care of my grandson, take care of the people and things in the house, and don't hold him back. ”

The tone was not very kind, and it was a little habitually picky, but Pei Baoer seemed to hear a bit of sincerity from inside.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows."

After returning to the main courtyard and settling down the sleepy little fat man, Pei Bao'er concisely told Bai Lu about today's affairs in the palace, and ordered her to go down and order all the stewards, especially the people at the door, to be in good spirits and beware of the small people taking advantage of the opportunity.

Beiyan, who was accidentally infected with the wind and cold, heard the news, and also supported the sick body to come out to give advice: "Master, do you want to notify them?" "This is what I am talking about Concubine Lin and Aunt Qin, who are not qualified to attend the palace banquet and stay in the mansion.

Pei Bao'er snorted, "Send someone to say it too, just tell them to close the door at night, and the people who go to the night are more attentive." ”

Bai Lu was about to receive the order, but was stopped by Pei Bao'er.

"Wait, let someone go to the front yard and say something, if the prince returns, come and tell me."

Bai Lu sighed and hurried away.

Beiyan said in a thick nasal voice: "Master, it's late at night, let's change my head and face first." The prince may not decide when he will return to the house, and the slave and maid will let people say it again, and if it is too late, they will not be allowed to come and go back and forth. ”

Pei Baoer said: "No, you have to wait no matter how late it is." ”

Her face was solemn, and her eyes revealed a bit of uncommon coldness and anxiety, which made Beiyan a little frightened, so she had to respond.

changed into homely clothes and did a simple wash, but they waited left and right, and they couldn't wait for Qi Heng's figure or the person who reported the news to come.

The wind and cold of Beiyan have not healed, and she was sent back by Pei Baoer early to rest, and it was Bai Lan who accompanied her to wait.

This little girl entered the palace for the first time today, and she encountered such a big battle, but she was not scared and lost her soul, Pei Baoer praised her a little, so when Bai Lan timidly persuaded her to rest first, keep vigil by her and wait for the news, Pei Baoer also pressed her temples and said: "You wait and see, I don't know how many families have suffered tonight, and among those who have entered the palace, I am afraid that few people can really sleep." ”

Bai Lan hesitated: "Isn't this the trial already finished today?" Since you let people out of the palace, it must have nothing to do with today's events, right? ”

Pei Bao'er smiled coldly and didn't say anything more.

As she said, most of the courtyards of the deep mansions in the capital this night were brightly lit until the second half of the night, even the backyard of the regent palace, and the small courtyards were also like this. Even the unsuspecting people were aware of the pre-tempest vigil that preceded the storm.

Pei Bao'er couldn't wait for Qi Heng to return home this night, so she couldn't hold back and fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes the next day, I asked, "Can the prince go back to his house?" ”

Bai Lan, who had been with her for half the night, shook her head against the two panda eyes.

Since Pei Bao'er returned to Beijing, she has the impression that unless she has something to do to leave Beijing temporarily, Qi Heng will never go home at night. Sure enough, yesterday's events were not simple.

Although Qi Xiaofat didn't see his father, he was a little strange, he asked Pei Bao'er, and got a perfunctory answer that his father had gone out beforehand, so he was ready to take the Lei guards to school.

Pei Baoer immediately stopped the person.

"Ahem, don't go today, I'll ask Guard Lei to take a leave of absence for you. Your grandmother was frightened yesterday and was not in good spirits, and your father is not there, should you do your filial piety for your father? ”

The little fat man thought for a while, nodded and said, "The Book of Filial Piety taught by Mr. says that filial piety begins with relatives. Ah Liang is right, then I will go to see my grandmother. ”

So, Pei Baoer inevitably accompanied him to the North Courtyard, after all, she took out a big hat of filial piety, and she herself couldn't "only allow the state officials to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps".

Fortunately, Concubine Wei is not used to being intimate with her, and she likes this big fat grandson very much, and after sitting for a while, she was "lingering" by Concubine Wei.

Pei Baoer didn't go back to the main courtyard, and went directly to the front and went directly to Qi Heng's study and waited for someone.

At this time, guarding the study was the small-eyed and big-nosed Sun guard, she was a little unrelenting, and asked: "Your prince has never come back, and he hasn't come back with a word?" ”

Guard Sun shook his head honestly.

Pei Baoer had to go into the room and wait, and she didn't have the heart to flip through the books for recreation, just paced back and forth in front of the bookshelf, pulled out a book from time to time, turned two pages and stuffed it back with lack of interest. In the end, I walked around to his bookcase with several piles of letters and folds.

Qi Heng trusted her, so she let her go in and out freely, and she didn't want to spy on her privacy, but after such a glance, she saw a corner of letter paper in the pile of things, and the part that was revealed happened to be the words "Wang died of illness in late June".

She hesitated, but she couldn't help but be curious, pulled out an extra inch of the paper, and after reading all the sentences, her eyebrows suddenly locked.
