Zhang He frowned and said: "The prince was indeed sent out of Beijing, I asked the housekeeper to find you, and I also discussed this matter, the prince is already weak, how can he travel far!" ”

Zixuan's heart sank, the prince was really sent out of Beijing!

Zhang He said suspiciously: "However, you said that the emperor is seriously ill?" How I don't know! Although the emperor did not go to the court in the past two days, the prince was instructed to govern the country, and the minister of the country supervised the country, but he did not say that the emperor was seriously ill! ”

Zixuan said in a low voice: "In this way, it seems that the emperor is very likely to be really sick, otherwise he would not hand over the government to the prince for no reason!" ”

"And the queen, she either deliberately concealed it, or she was setting up a situation and forcing me to do something out of the ordinary through the mouth of the prince and Li Xinran!"

Zhang He frowned deeply, "The queen is so targeting you and the prince, you have to quickly find a way to protect yourself!" ”

Zixuan said in a deep voice: "The queen regards the palace as a thorn in her side, I am one with the prince and his wife, how can I protect myself!" ”

She looked at the frost-beaten flowers and plants in the court, exhaled a deep sigh, and said: "Now that the matter is now, I must find a way to enter the palace, and only when I see the emperor can I save the prince." ”

Zhang He nodded and said embarrassedly: "But the emperor announced the day before yesterday that no courtier will be allowed to meet without an edict!" ”

"None of us courtiers can kneel and beg for a face, let alone your woman's house, the palace is heavily guarded, how can you go in?"

"No one can see it, what if it is a Manchu minister?" Zixuan looked at him steadily.

"Manchu ministers?" Zhang He looked puzzled.

Zixuan coldly evoked a light smile and said: "The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty don't know that the emperor is seriously ill, but I know that the queen deliberately asked the prince to reveal his illness to me, just to think that at this time, both at home and abroad are peaceful, and no courtiers will risk great disapproval to resist the decree and ask the emperor to see him!"

"However, if I send someone to spread the news of the emperor's serious illness to the ministers' homes, I will be able to attract the attention of the ministers, and many ministers will ask to see him, even if the emperor is seriously ill and cannot be seen, her queen will have to stand up and give everyone an explanation."

"It's just that in this way, the teachers will mobilize the people, no matter whether the emperor is really sick or fake, my crime of inciting the ministers will fall on me!"

When Zhang He heard this, his heart was even more impatient, "Besides, is there no other way?" ”

Zixuan shook her head and said: "At this time, the palace, I'm afraid that even a fly will not go in, and even the prince will be sent away, the queen has dug a pit, so I have to jump!" ”

At this time, the three brothers heard that she had come, and they all rushed over.

They had already learned that Wang Zixian had been transferred out of Kyoto, and the eldest brother said indignantly: "This transfer order is too hasty and obvious, the queen and the crown prince are obviously aimed at the palace!" ”

The second brother said: "Fourth sister, you must not go to the palace!" ”

Zixuan shook her head firmly and said, "Uncle, three elder brothers, I know you are worried about me, but if something really happens to the prince, how can I be alone!" ”

"The most important thing now is to arrange for someone to report to those ministers, so that they can enter the palace to see the emperor together!"

The eldest brother immediately made a decision and said: "I think according to what the fourth sister said, if something happens to the palace, our Zhang family will not be able to escape, and the queen regards us as a party, and she will want to get rid of it as soon as possible!" ”

The family looked at each other and nodded affirmatively, "That's it!" ”

Zi Xuan said: "The kindness of my uncle and brothers, it is difficult for Xuan to repay it!" ”

Uncle Zhang He said: "Eh! The family doesn't talk to each other, so I'm going to inform a few colleagues who have a good relationship and go to meet the Holy One together. ”

Zixuan nodded, she took out the signal flare from her arms, opened it and released it into the sky.

The eldest brother asked puzzledly, "Fourth sister, what is the reason for this signal flare?" ”

Zixuan said: "Before going out, I asked Qingsha to gather all the families in the house in one place, as long as I release the signal flare, they will spread the news of the emperor's serious illness to the various official palaces!" ”

Zhang He said: "Do you want my general's family to go too?" ”

"No!" Zixuan said: "If the people from the General's Mansion go out, both of us will be calculated by the queen, uncle, don't worry, I have a way to deal with the queen." ”

Zhang He nodded, but there was still some worry in his expression.

The eldest brother said, "Let's go and do our own things, don't delay." ”

"Hmm!" Zixuan nodded and said, "My name sticker is already on the way to the palace, uncle, we have a foreign exchange in the palace." ”

"Hmm!" Zhang He said that he immediately went out of the house to do something.

In the palace, as soon as Qingsha saw the signal flare put by Zixuan, she immediately asked the family members in the mansion to scatter out of the mansion and act according to the plan.

Zixuan arrived outside the palace, and as expected, the emperor did not see her.

She calculated the time, and her uncle still needed some time, so she couldn't wait.

Zixuan slowly knelt on the ground, hid her face and whimpered: "The daughter-in-law listened to what the prince said in person, the father was seriously ill, but the daughter-in-law could not fulfill her filial piety, it was really difficult to feel at ease, the father and the emperor did not see the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law could only kneel at the palace gate to show filial piety!" ”

Her words were for the palace people and guards guarding inside and outside the palace gate, and if the emperor asked, at least he could feel that he was sincere in serving the sick.

The palace maid inside the door saw Zixuan kneeling for a long time, and quietly ran to the queen to say goodbye.

The queen said coldly: "Since she wants to kneel, she will kneel, and wait for the ministers to come, and then report to me!" ”

"Yes, slave and maid retire!" The palace maid immediately retreated and returned to the palace gate.

Although the late autumn sun is not hot, it still makes people's skin and flesh ache.

The red sleeves that were kneeling with Zixuan were in their eyes and anxious in their hearts.

She deliberately shaded the sun for Zixuan in the back.

But Zixuan didn't let her, and asked her to avoid the shade, saying: "You are still a big girl, and you will still marry a good family in the future, don't accompany me to suffer here." ”

Red Sleeves said movingly: "Princess, it's all this time, you are still thinking about the slave maid, the slave and maid are not married, and they are willing to take care of the princess for the rest of their lives." ”

Zixuan pretended to be angry and glared at her, and said, "Go quickly!" The maids went to the shade, and the men knelt with me. ”

"Yes!" The attendants of the palace answered.

Zixuan knelt for nearly an hour, her knees ached, her face was red from the sun, she closed her eyes silently and counted the hours silently.

Uncle should be almost there!

Suddenly there was the sound of a carriage in her ears, Zixuan was overjoyed, but she didn't show it on her face, she only glanced at the carriage indifferently.

It's really ghostly, it's actually the prince and Li Xinran again!

Li Xinran got down from the carriage, and when she heard that Zixuan was kneeling at the gate of the palace, she hurriedly urged the prince to return to the palace.

By sending the prince back to the palace, he wanted to ridicule Zixuan fiercely.

She was slapped by Li Zixuan in the palace today, and now that she has such a good opportunity, she has to take this breath.

The prince got out of the carriage and saw Zixuan, approached and mocked: "Yo, sister-in-law really came to ask to see her father, don't listen to persuasion, don't listen to persuasion!" ”

He deliberately squatted down in front of Zixuan, and sighed: "Look at the little face that is shiny and tender, it is all red, it is really distressing!" ”

Zixuan endured the nausea boiling in her stomach, don't look away, the prince's face, she has spicy eyes when she looks at it for a second!
