The palace maid took a vase of flower arrangements that the concubine said was for the queen to see, and came to the dormitory where the queen and the emperor's eldest son lived.

And when she came, the entire West Garden was so frightened that the other palace maids and eunuchs ran to the north because of a big explosion outside.

Only Zhang Fengyi was ordered to hide in the palace of the emperor's eldest son.

After the palace maid brought the flower arrangement into the palace of the eldest son of the emperor, she deliberately said loudly: "The slave maid is ordered by the concubine to offer flowers to the mother." ”

As she spoke, the maid walked in, and immediately put the vase containing the flowers on the ground, and drew a short knife from the vase, and walked inside.

As soon as the palace maid came over, Zhang Fengyi walked towards her with her bare hands and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?!" ”

The palace maid was shocked, she didn't expect that there was a palace lady here who didn't escape, and asked urgently, "Where is His Royal Highness the eldest son?" ”

"Is this what you should ask?"

Zhang Fengyi replied.

The palace maid didn't say a word, so she killed Zhang Fengyi with a knife.

But within a few rounds, Zhang Fengyi subdued the palace maid to the ground.

……

"Your Majesty, there is a quick horse report, and there is indeed a big explosion on the side of the outer wall of the West Garden."

It didn't take long for Zhang Gui to report in front of the apocalypse.

After hearing this, Tianqi said: "Hurry back to the palace!" ”

In less than half a day, Tianqi was accompanied by Zhang Gui, Wei Zhongxian, Han Yi and others, and quickly rushed back to Xiyuan on horseback.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Xiyuan was already in a mess at this time.

Because Zhang Gui and Wei Zhongxian were not there, the palace guards and the inner court were leaderless, and it was not until Wei Zhongxian appeared and shouted that the entire inner court and Xiyuan guards settled down.

Zhang Gui called Man Gui over and asked, "How did the explosion cause it?" ”

"Someone dug a tunnel! In a private house that leads directly to Xuanwumen Street, a lot of gunpowder was buried next to the outer wall of the West Garden, and eight of the guards were killed on the spot, six of the eunuchs were killed, and more than ten were injured. Fortunately, His Majesty was not there. ”

Man Gui replied.

Zhang Gui nodded after hearing this: "It doesn't matter if you're here, I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of this to create chaos and then do it in the palace." ”

Saying that, Zhang Gui followed Tianqi into the West Garden, and said to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, let's go directly to the place where Niangniang and the emperor's eldest son live." ”

Tianqi nodded, and walked directly towards the queen and the emperor's eldest son's bedroom, and asked Wei Zhongxian to rectify the order of the inner court.

……

Soon after Zhang Fengyi arrested the palace maid who attempted to assassinate her and tied her up, she saw Concubine Liu suddenly come over with several eunuchs.

As soon as Concubine Liu saw Zhang Fengyi, she asked, "Is the queen there?" ”

Zhang Fengyi replied: "The queen's mother and the emperor's eldest son went to Taikang Bo Mansion. ”

Concubine Liu couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing this, and then asked, "Why didn't you go?" ”

Zhang Fengyi said: "I was ordered to watch the house. ”

Concubine Liu's expression became even more grim: "Did anyone come just now?" ”

"Nope."

Zhang Fengyi replied.

Concubine Liu suddenly shouted: "Nonsense! I obviously heard a report from an eunuch that a palace lady broke into the queen's bedroom without permission, so I rushed to take a look, how can you say no! Either you're lazy and don't pay attention, or you're deliberately covering up! ”

As she spoke, Concubine Liu said to a few eunuchs around her: "Let me go in and search!" ”

Concubine Liu has no choice now, and she didn't expect that the palace maid she sent to assassinate the emperor's eldest son would not go back to report the results for so long, so that she began to feel uneasy because of this, and had to come here in person.

Anyway, now that Xiyuan is in turmoil, she doesn't worry about being suspected of her whereabouts.

Then, what she didn't expect was that as soon as she came, she saw Zhang Fengyi, who had recently become the nurse of the emperor's eldest son, standing outside the main hall as usual.

This made her feel even more bad, and she guessed that she might have failed to send someone to assassinate the emperor's eldest son, and now what she had to do was to kill her.

Therefore, this Concubine Liu suddenly took the initiative to say that she learned that an unknown palace maid had broken into the queen's bedroom, and she wanted to send someone in to search for it.

"You dare!"

Zhang Fengyi shouted loudly and said: "This is the bedroom of the queen mother and the eldest son of the emperor, without the mother's decree, no one is allowed to come nonsense!" ”

Seeing this, Concubine Liu snorted coldly: "Toast and don't eat and drink." ”

"Kill her!"

Concubine Liu suddenly commanded.

"Concubine Liu, who do you want them to kill?"

Apocalypse appeared outside at this time, and asked in a deep voice.

When Concubine Liu heard this voice, she was stunned.

Then, a human head rolled down in front of her.

The owner of this human head was the eunuch she arranged to ventilate outside.

"How many of your people have you planted in Xiyuan, and who gave you the courage to do this?"

Apocalypse asked.

Seeing this, Concubine Liu sat on the ground dejectedly: "It's still not too late!" ”

At the same time, several eunuchs brought by Concubine Liu were subdued by the guards brought by Zhang Gui before they could attack Zhang Fengyi.

"I trust you so much, I once asked you to preside over the harem!"

Apocalypse said another word to Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu said: "Your Majesty spares your life, the old body can't help it, they force the old body to do this, if the old body doesn't do this, the old body's mother's family will be very miserable." ”

"Escort Concubine Liu down! Strict review! ”

Apocalypse commanded at this time.

Then, Tianqi asked Zhang Fengyi again: "What happened?" ”

"A palace maid broke into the queen's bedroom with a short knife, because the lady asked me to stay here, ready to wait for the rabbit, and the minister stayed here and caught her."

Zhang Fengyi replied.

After hearing this, Tianqi looked at Zhang Gui: "You are not wrong, sure enough, someone wants to murder my eldest son, and besides, it is fake to blow up the palace with gunpowder, and the eldest son of the emperor who created chaos and killed me is real!" ”

"It is not ruled out that it is a plan to kill the eldest son of the emperor while blowing up His Majesty."

Zhang Gui replied.

Seeing this, Concubine Liu, who was being escorted away, hurriedly looked at Zhang Gui: "Okay, you Uncle Zhang, dare to love all this again, when did you guess it?" ”

Zhang Gui glanced back at Concubine Liu and asked, "Are you really doing this because your mother's family is being controlled, not because you are also dissatisfied with the new policy?" ”

Concubine Liu smiled bitterly: "It's all like this, I'm also old, what kind of lie are you telling, that's right, Your Majesty, if you really insist on changing the law and taking the benefits of the world's powerful officials and gentry, it won't be the last time something like this happens." ”

"Threaten me?"

Tianqi walked up to Concubine Liu, looked at her old face and said, "Since I have chosen to be such an emperor, do you think I care about life and death?" ”

Then, Apocalypse sneered again: "Isn't it more ruthless than anyone, since you didn't succeed, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

"Presumably, Concubine Liu has already sent someone to spread the news of the failed assassination in advance."

As he spoke, the apocalypse shouted, "Spread the decree!" Arrest all the nine clans of Concubine Liu first! ”

……

"What?! The thing that killed the eldest son of the emperor failed? ”

After Hanlin Chen Yan learned about it from the Guogong in the bullfighting suit, he glanced at Dang Yunrui in shock.

After hearing this, Dang Yunrui was very scared: "Why did you fail?" ”

Chen Yan asked the prince more firmly: "Have you lost your mouth?" ”

The prince replied, "No! According to what I heard, Concubine Liu has been imprisoned. ”

Peng!

After hearing this, Dang Yunrui fell directly from the chair: "How is this good!" ”

And Chen Yan muttered: "Is Your Majesty too clever, or is there some master around him, and he has long thought that we will do something to the emperor's eldest son!" ”

"Uncle Guo!"

Then, Chen Yan replied to himself and said, "Only him!" The previous failures were all because he was making trouble with this scourge, and he had been speculating on us with the greatest malice from beginning to end, and now that he thinks about it, he should have thought of us in the worst direction a long time ago. ”

"If you know it, why are you saying it now?"

The prince asked.

Chen Yan smiled bitterly: "I said, you just didn't listen, what you said at the time was that as long as we weren't immortals, no one would know that we were digging tunnels." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yan suddenly said with a serious expression: "Uncle Guo must have mastered in advance that we are digging tunnels, and there are traitors among us, it must be like this." ”

"Well, what's the use of talking about it now."

Dang Yunrui said dejectedly.

The prince nodded: "Yes, now think about how to save yourself." ”

Chen Yan said: "If you want to save yourself, you can only wash the black into white, cry out for Concubine Liu, deny that there is such a thing, and attribute this explosion to a natural disaster." ”

"Your Majesty won't listen."

Dang Yun Rui Dao.

"Your Majesty will not listen, but His Royal Highness will listen."

Chen Yan said with a smile.

The prince stood up and said, "That's right! King Xin is simple, and he is also dissatisfied with the tyrant's behavior, let's go to cry out for Concubine Liu, saying that Uncle Guo framed the concubine, he must believe it! ”

Night.

Suddenly, a large number of officials came to the Xinwang Mansion.

Chen Yan was the first to kneel in front of King Xin's mansion: "Please ask Your Highness to shout for the concubine!" ”

"Please Your Highness to cry out for the concubine!"

Many of the ministers knelt down.

"Please Your Highness to cry out for the concubine!"

Even some nobles had to kneel because they were involved in gunpowder explosions.

For a time, the Xinwang Mansion was full of people.
