She turned her face and saw that Zhu Jianshen was still stupid and stupid, and there was no sign of improvement at all, so she couldn't help but take two steps forward and said to him: "Look at the emperor, there is no improvement at all, what should I do?" She sighed and said very angrily.

Gu Lengyi hurriedly said to her: "I can't care so much now, let's quickly transfer the emperor to another place, if those rebels come in, what should I do?" ”

So they ordered several palace maids and eunuchs to carry Zhu Jianshen and prepare to transfer.

At this time, Jian Huaizhen walked in, and after Jian Huaizhen walked in, he looked at Wan Zhen'er and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?" ”

Wan Zhen'er never dreamed that Jian Huaizhen suddenly walked in at this time, she was stunned when she saw Jian Huaizhen, and knelt down for Jian Huaizhen with a plop, and said in a loud voice: "The eldest princess, this ......" After saying this, she didn't know how to answer.

Jian Huaizhen frowned slightly, knowing that now was not the time to be held responsible, so he said slowly: "Where are you going to carry the emperor to?" ”

Wan Zhen'er became anxious and said, "I heard from Father-in-law Gu just now that many people outside have surrounded the Qianqing Palace, so I plan to take the emperor to the palace of the concubines to hide first." ”

Jian Huaizhen shook his head and said, "Don't worry, there are already a large number of guards coming to support, I believe that the rebels will be arrested soon." It's just that the palace doesn't know how to figure it out, how could a lot of rebels suddenly come in this good palace? And how did they get in? ”

"Could it be that someone is in harmony with the outside?" Gu Leng Yi said.

Jian Huaizhen frowned and was silent.

Jian Huaizhen said to Wan Zhen'er: "You take care of the emperor first, and go out to the palace to take a look and see how the situation is outside." ”

"Yes." Wan Zhen'er hurriedly agreed, then stood up, walked in front of Zhu Jianshen, and guarded Zhu Jianshen.

Jian Huaizhen walked out, and after a short time, he heard the sound outside gradually calming down, and after that, many guards rushed over and caught these people, but Jian Huaizhen never dreamed that these people were so strong and unyielding, and after they saw that they were caught by the guards, they took out the weapons in their hands and committed suicide, and hundreds of corpses were piled up outside the Qianqing Palace.

When Jian Huaizhen saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and someone came forward to ask Jian Huaizhen what to do next.

Jian Huaizhen ordered someone to carry their corpses away, and then she walked back to the Qianqing Palace, after Jian Huaizhen arrived at the Qianqing Palace, she glanced at Zhu Jianshen, and saw that Zhu Jianshen was still no improvement, and she was also worried.

She sat down on the side and said slowly to Gu Lengyi: "Father-in-law Gu, please go and invite the Empress Dowager Zhou, just say that there is something in the palace that wants to invite her over to discuss, about the emperor's affairs." Jian Huaizhen was afraid that the Empress Dowager Zhou would not come over, so he specially added.

"Yes." Gu Lengyi couldn't figure out what Jian Huaizhen was thinking, and he didn't know what she was going to do, so after hearing her say this, he agreed to go.

Jian Huaizhen just sat there and didn't say a word.

Wan Zhen'er took care of Zhu Jianshen, she saw Jian Huaizhen's cold face, as if she knew something, she was terrified, but she didn't dare to ask a word, lest Jian Huaizhen would punish herself.

The two of them didn't say a word, she only occasionally secretly raised her head to look at Jian Huaizhen, and saw that she was calm and calm, her eyes were cold, as if she couldn't guess what she was thinking in her heart, and not long after, Empress Dowager Zhou was invited over by Gu Lengyi.

Empress Dowager Zhou was taken aback when she saw that there were bloodstains all over the outside, and there were many guards handling the corpses, and asked repeatedly, "What's going on?" ”

Gu Lengyi didn't dare to say a word, but just led her in.

Seeing Jian Huaizhen, she saw Jian Huaizhen sitting there, and saw that Zhu Jianshen was still fine, so her heart relaxed, she took two steps forward, and asked in a loud voice: "Princess Huang, what happened?" Why are so many people dying? ”

Jian Huaizhen's face became more and more cold, like a piece of ice, and she said slowly: "I should ask the Queen Mother and Wan Guifei about this matter, as for how these people came here, you should know better." ”

When Wan Zhen'er heard her say this, she immediately shook her head, knelt down with a plop, and said, "I really don't know what's going on, the eldest princess, this matter has nothing to do with Zhen'er." ”

"Nothing to do with you? But I don't know if it has anything to do with the Queen Mother? ”

Empress Dowager Zhou was very angry when she heard that Jian Huaizhen seemed to have the intention of pursuing herself, she went to the side of the Huanghuali rosewood chair and sat down, glanced at Jian Huaizhen coldly, and said: "The eldest princess, these words are outside, how can this rebel have something to do with the mourning family?" Could it be that the mourning family has to deal with their son with all their hearts? The eldest princess just wants to arrest people, and there should be evidence. ”

Jian Huaizhen laughed coldly and said, "There is evidence in this palace, don't you know what songs are circulating outside?" ”

"What ballad?" Empress Dowager Zhou is still a little hard-mouthed, in fact, she already vaguely knows what is going on in her heart.

Jian Huaizhen stared at her and said word by word: "Now there are ballads circulating outside, and what is said in the ballad is that the emperor is cruel and unkind, and the Ming Dynasty will die." The emperor actually wanted to take the blood of a hundred baby boys and a hundred baby girls to complete his cultivation, and these things have been spread all over the capital, and they are still spreading, and the emperor's reputation has been ruined by you. ”

Wan Zhen'er said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, in fact, the reason why we did this is also for the good of the emperor." The emperor has been infected with soul dementorship now, and he can't wake up, so ......" After saying this, she looked at Jian Huaizhen with pleading eyes.

Jian Huaizhen said hatefully: "Even if this is the case, how can you gamble the lives of innocent people to save the emperor?" If you really saved the emperor, it would be fine, but now the emperor has not been saved, and the capital has been tossed like this by you, and dozens of babies have died, how can you bear it? ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's reprimand, the Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but be angry, in fact, she was very angry all along, originally after she became the queen mother, she should have been in charge of the harem, but Jian Huaizhen interfered with her repeatedly and often reprimanded her, how could she feel comfortable?

So she glanced at Jian Huaizhen and said to her: "Eldest princess, you have a way, you can save the emperor." In fact, you can't cure the emperor, so we took other ways to save the emperor. As a result, we adopted our method, and we were reprimanded by you again, I don't know what the eldest princess planned in her heart. ”

After hearing her say this, Jian Huaizhen glanced at him and said slowly: "Is it the responsibility of one person in this palace to save the emperor?" ”

"It is precisely because of the responsibility of the eldest princess to save the emperor alone, but also the responsibility of the mourning family and Wan Guifei. So the eldest princess, you use your method, we use our method, what's wrong with that? ”

"Are you going to harm people by your methods?" Jian Huaizhen glared at her, stood up and reprimanded.

Empress Dowager Zhou had never seen Jian Huaizhen have such a big temper, she saw that her eyes were like shooting two swords, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, she knew that Jian Huaizhen was a very real person, and now, when this kind of thing happened, she probably couldn't tolerate it, her lips moved, she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't dare to say it.

Jian Huaizhen pointed at her and said word by word: "So far, I don't want to say anything about this palace." Empress Dowager Zhou, you are the empress dowager of a country, but you did this kind of thing. This palace is also your elder, yes, you are indeed the lord of the six palaces, but what you did today is not commensurate with your identity at all, this palace ordered you to be grounded in the palace, don't come out anywhere in the future, and recite the Buddha and repent. Gu Lengyi, you sent someone to send the Empress Dowager Zhou back and let people watch her. ”

"Yes." Gu Leng Yi said.

"You? What exactly do you want? Empress Dowager Zhou pointed at Jian Huaizhen and said angrily: "You also said that the mourning family is the master of the six palaces, even if you are the elder of the mourning family, you can't imprison the mourning family." ”

"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and now, if you do this kind of thing, this palace believes that even if the emperor is still sober, he will do it. Gu Lengyi, why don't you send someone to do it soon? ”

"Yes." Gu Lengyi has always been a person who sees the wind and rudder, and he deeply knows who is the real powerful person in this harem, he doesn't dare to offend Jian Huaizhen, after hearing Jian Huaizhen's order, he immediately sent someone to escort the Empress Dowager Zhou back to the palace.

Jian Huaizhen waited until the Empress Dowager Zhou left, then pointed at Wan Zhen'er and reprimanded repeatedly: "Bastard." ”

Wan Zhen'er's eyes were full of tears, like a pear blossom with rain, she looked at Jian Huaizhen and begged: "The eldest princess, Zhen'er knows that she is wrong, Zhen'er should not do this." In fact, Zhen'er was only to save the emperor, it was the Queen Mother who gave Zhen'er an edict to Zhen'er, and Zhen'er dared to do it. Zhen'er herself knows that she is wrong, and asks the eldest princess to punish me. ”

Jian Huaizhen glanced at her, with a hint of indifference in his voice, and said, "Of course you are wrong, and you are very wrong, and this palace will definitely punish you." Yes, you did make merit before, but the merit and demerits can't be offset, don't think that this palace doesn't know what you're thinking, how could Empress Dowager Zhou know about this kind of thing? You must have told the Empress Dowager Zhou, that's why the Empress Dowager Zhou did this, right? ”

Wan Zhen'er didn't expect Jian Huaizhen to look like a pillar, and she knew the truth of this matter at once, she hesitated, still shook her head and said, "Princess, you are mistaken, it's not like this." Actually, I didn't tell the Empress Dowager Zhou, and I don't know how the Empress Dowager knew about it, it was the Empress Dowager who called me and then told Zhen'er to do it. You also know that Zhen'er can do anything for the emperor's sake, so Zhen'er did it, and Zhen'er also knew that Zhen'er did something wrong. As she spoke, she kowtowed to Jian Huaizhen and pleaded.

Jian Huaizhen carefully observed her eyes, and didn't know which of what she said was true, and she didn't know which of her words was false, she thought about it and said to her: "Okay, even if what you said is true, Empress Dowager Zhou asked you to do this kind of thing, shouldn't you tell Bengong first?" Just do it rashly, and now you have harmed so many innocent people, how can you bear it? ”

Hearing her say this, Wan Zhen'er's tears flowed down again: "The eldest princess, Zhen'er knows that she is wrong, Zhen'er will never dare to do it in the future, ask the eldest princess to be gracious and spare Zhen'er." ”

Jian Huaizhen thought for a while, and said word by word: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, and you can let the palace spare you." But there are some things, as you know, this palace can't tolerate it, and this palace can tolerate you is really limited, so be it. ”

Wan Zhen'er had no choice but to say sadly: "Please punish the eldest princess." ”

When Jian Huaizhen saw Wan Zhen'er's appearance, she felt pity in her heart for a while, but she thought of those innocent and tragic babies, and her heart suddenly hardened again, and she said: "Okay, Wan Zhen'er, this palace will punish you to go back to your palace now to face the wall and think about it, and you don't have to come out in the future." After the emperor wakes up, demote your rank from a noble concubine to a nobleman, you go down first. After finishing speaking, she waved her hand and ordered Wan Zhen'er to go down.

Wan Zhen'er never dreamed that Jian Huaizhen would lower her grade, she was stunned for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Yes, the eldest princess." ”

Because she knew that at this time, no matter how she pleaded, Jian Huaizhen would not listen, she decided that she had done something wrong, and the most important thing was that no matter what she did at this time, if she pleaded again, maybe Jian Huaizhen would be provoked, and then the punishment she would receive would be more serious, so she had no choice but to retreat first.

Mama Chen stepped forward to help her and went down together.

Jian Huaizhen thought for a while and said to Gu Lengyi: "Father-in-law Gu, you go and arrange a few palace maids and eunuchs who are loyal to the emperor to come and serve the emperor." Once there is any change in the emperor's condition, he must tell the palace in time. ”

"Yes." Gu Leng said in a continuous voice.

There was also a cold sweat on his head, because Wan Zhen'er had instigated the whole thing, but when Jian Huaizhen traced it, he didn't track it down to his head, and after he watched Wan Zhen'er leave, he was very worried about it, could Jian Huaizhen associate this matter with himself, but it turned out that she didn't think so, so he felt a little more comfortable.

She glanced at Gu Lengyi and said to Gu Lengyi: "You send someone to instruct You Daxian, the commander of the palace guards, to come to see the palace." ”

"Yes." Gu Leng agreed, and immediately sent someone to spread the news that You Daxian, the commander of the Praetorian Guard of the palace, had come to see Jian Huaizhen.

You Daxian has not been in charge of the Praetorian Guard in the palace for a long time, and he has always been Luo Kailing's subordinate, and he is also very loyal to Zhu Jianshen, and he is also very conscientious to the royal family, so he can be said to be a very loyal courtier, but now this kind of thing suddenly happened in this imperial city, doesn't it make people feel very strange?

When he came, he immediately met Jian Huaizhen and saluted Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said to him, "This palace summoned the general here today because there is something I want to ask the general. ”

"I don't know what's going on with the eldest princess? Just ask the princess to ask, I must know everything, and I will say everything. ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded, asked him and said, "Actually, the thing that this palace wants to ask you is very simple, do you know that there was a traitor in the Qianqing Palace who entered the palace to assassinate the emperor, and a hundred and ten people came as soon as they came?" ”

You Daxian seemed to have guessed that Jian Huaizhen was asking him this question, his expression suddenly became ugly, and he quickly knelt down with a plop and said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, all this is the minister's mistake, the minister knows that he is wrong, and asks the eldest princess to punish him." It is not good for the minister to protect the emperor, and the minister should be guilty and deserve death. ”

Jian Huaizhen waved his hand and said to him: "Now is not the time to be held responsible, this palace knows that you have always been loyal to the emperor, and now this palace just wants to find out the truth of this matter as soon as possible, do you know how the more than 100 traitors entered the palace?" ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen ask this, he suddenly frowned, shook his head, and said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, actually...... In fact, there is one thing that the minister does not know whether to talk about or not. ”

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Yes." You Daxian said to Jian Huaizhen: "In fact, even the ministers don't know how those traitors entered the palace. ”

"Bastard, nonsense." Jian Huaizhen glanced at him coldly: "You Daxian, how can you be honest?" How could you not even know how those traitors got into the palace? Isn't that too unreasonable? Isn't there something wrong with the guards at Donghua Gate? ”

"The eldest princess of the Emperor Qiqi, the guardian of Donghua Gate is very secure, after the incident, the minister has gone to investigate as soon as possible, and there has been no problem at all, and no one has come in. If the eldest princess doesn't believe it, she can check it again, and the minister will never dare to lie. As for why this happened, the minister didn't know, so the minister has been thinking about what the hell is going on, and how did those traitors get in, unless ......" After saying this, his face has become pale.

When Jian Huaizhen saw his appearance, he seemed to have something to say, so he nodded and said, "You have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Yes." He nodded and said to Jian Huaizhen: "Unless it is those rebels, they have already hidden in the palace, and they are just looking for an opportunity to attack." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard him say this, he immediately became furious and said: "Nonsense, there are strict guards in this palace, how can it be possible to mix in so many traitors at the same time?" Even if they infiltrated so many traitors at the same time, how could they assassinate the emperor at the same time? ”

"So, the minister also thinks this thing is incredible. The minister also felt that if this was really the case, it would be too bizarre, and as for the truth of this matter, the minister didn't know. After saying this, he looked at Jian Huaizhen and couldn't say a word.

After Jian Huaizhen heard that he had finished reporting these things, he didn't know how to answer him, in fact, after hearing him say this, Jian Huaizhen's heart moved.

Since the four gates of the imperial city are well guarded, it stands to reason that not even a fly can fly in, so how could a rebel suddenly break in? And looking at the dress of these rebels, it is clear that they are the people in the city, how can they easily break into the imperial city? Unless there is a traitor in this imperial city.

But hearing what You Daxian said, it didn't seem to be such a thing, she believed that You Daxian shouldn't lie, in such a serious matter, if You Daxian lied, sooner or later it would be exposed, and it would not be good for him.

Since You Daxian is not lying, there is only one possibility, that is, these people have really been hidden in the palace for a long time, but in what kind of identity are they hidden in the palace? And how could they be so well hidden? Jian Huaizhen has always been puzzled by this.

Jian Huaizhen thought for a while, and said to You Daxian: "Okay, you go down first, if there is something in the palace, I will send you to ask." Try not to spread the news of the emperor's illness, you know? ”

"Yes." You Daxian nodded, wiped a cold sweat, and walked out.

Jian Huaizhen sat in the Qianqing Palace, and for a while he couldn't understand what was going on, but it happened that Gu Lengyi walked out of Zhu Jianshen's dormitory, and saw Jian Huaizhen alone there in a daze.

Before, Jian Huaizhen pursued Wan Zhen'er's matter, but he didn't investigate Gu Lengyi's body, which made Gu Lengyi gasp, he was nervous, and when he saw Jian Huaizhen there, he seemed to be worried, so he had an idea, stepped forward, and saluted Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen saw that it was cold and indifferent, so he asked, "How is the emperor?" ”

"Everything is fine with the emperor, please rest assured that the eldest princess. The old slave just saw the eldest princess frowning, but he was uneasy about the matter of Concubine Wan? The reason why he mentioned Wan Zhen'er's matter was because Wan Zhen'er's matter was related to him, and he wanted to know if Jian Huaizhen was still thinking about Wan Zhen'er's matter.

But as soon as the words came out, he immediately regretted it, isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver? So he immediately answered: "But the eldest princess has always focused on major matters, and the eldest princess saw General You again just now, presumably the eldest princess was worried about those traitors who came to assassinate the emperor, right?" ”

Hearing Gu Leng say this, Jian Huaizhen nodded slowly and said, "Yes, this palace is worried about this matter. ”

Jian Huaizhen knew that Gu Lengyi was not a good person, but there was one thing that she had to admit, that is, Gu Lengyi was wholeheartedly loyal to Zhu Jianshen.

He is the person next to Zhu Jianshen, if Zhu Jianshen has something to do with three longs and two shortcomings, when the time comes, he will be cold, the big eunuch, and the position of the chief manager may not be able to be kept, so he is absolutely wholeheartedly devoted to Zhu Jianshen.

Jian Huaizhen said this to him with confidence, Gu Leng Yi's eyes rolled for a while, and said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it to the minion, the servant can help the eldest princess if you can't say it." ”

"Oh? You? Jian Huaizhen was slightly stunned, thought about it, and said slowly: "That's it, since that's the case, this palace will talk to you, you are also very clear about this matter, you can describe the situation of the rebels just now to this palace." ”

Jian Huaizhen told him about the conversation with You Daxian just now, and after listening to it, he thought about it, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Actually, I also have an idea in my heart, I don't know if the eldest princess is willing to listen." ”

"Let's talk, but it's okay to talk." Jian Huaizhen's tone was a little faint.

"Yes." Gu Leng Yi said in a loud voice: "Actually, just now, the slave felt that something was inappropriate. Although those people said that they were rebels in the city, in the name of rebels, and dressed like the people of the city, in fact, the minions always felt that things were not so simple. The eldest princess, you think, if it is really the common people in the city, how can it be so well-organized? And after they were besieged by the guards, everyone chose to commit suicide, and if the people were to say it, there was no need for them to choose suicide. And most of the people in the city are dragging their families, even if the emperor really did something cruel and unkind, even if the baby matter caused them harm, then the dead babies are only dozens, and there are only dozens of people who came to the imperial city to assassinate the emperor, why did so many people come? And isn't it strange that these people were able to enter the imperial city? Therefore, the minions boldly speculated that these people were originally in ambush in the palace early in the morning, waiting for a riot. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard Gu Lengyi's analysis, he felt that what he said was not unreasonable, if it was really an ordinary person, how could he break into the palace? Even if they broke into the palace and were surrounded and suppressed by the guards, how could they commit suicide en masse?

She nodded, glanced at Gu Lengyi with appreciative eyes, and said, "Father-in-law Gu, your analysis is very reasonable, no wonder the emperor values you so much, and has always regarded you as a minister." ”

"The eldest princess has spoken, but the slave doesn't dare. In fact, the reason why the slave helped the eldest princess analyze it was to atone for his sins, and he asked the eldest princess to forgive the slave. After finishing speaking, he knelt down for Jian Huaizhen with a plop.

Jian Huaizhen was taken aback when he saw his appearance, I don't know why he said this, could it be that he did something that he couldn't see?

Jian Huaizhen looked at him and said thoughtfully: "Father-in-law Gu, what do you mean by this?" ”

Gu Lengyi said to Jian Huaizhen with a handful of snot and tears: "The eldest princess, in fact, the slave did something wrong. The slave has done a lot of things that are sorry for the eldest princess and sorry for the emperor, the slave is really ashamed to say it, and the slave is also sorry for Concubine Wan. ”

Jian Huaizhen heard him keep saying that he was sorry for this, sorry for that, so he tried his best to make himself pleasant and said, "What happened to you?" You might as well talk to this palace, this palace has its own public opinion in its heart. Now that you've realized what you're doing wrong, you know where you're wrong. ”

"Yes, the fault of the slave is that he should not trust others easily. In fact, why did the Queen Mother and Wan Guifei suddenly go to the city to find the two hundred babies, it was because the slave received a letter, and when the slave received the letter, he should have stopped Wan Guifei and the Queen Mother. It's not good to be a minion, I didn't think it through carefully. ”

"Oh, what the hell is going on? You talk to this palace. ”

"Yes." He told Jian Huaizhen the ins and outs of the matter.
