Chapter 329: Still Waiting
Xie Wan actually knew in her heart that as the unfavored fourth prince, Li Qiong could cheat to death, but Emperor Wen Zhao, who was the king of a country, had to spend 7749 days before he could be buried, so it was impossible to cheat death.
But it was so sudden, so sudden that everyone was unprepared.
Xie Wan was apprehensive and silent all the way.
Poetic and picturesque sat on the sidelines, and did not open their mouths, and the atmosphere in the carriage was very gloomy.
It was obviously not far away, but Xie Wan felt that it was very long, and she didn't know how long it took before the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.
Xie Wan led a thousand guards, and such a big battle was quite suspicious of breaking into the palace.
In fact, that's what she thinks too.
If the dust has settled in the palace, then Li Yu will inevitably send someone to guard the palace gate and allow her to enter with troops. If not, then these thousand strong soldiers would be able to break into the palace gate and join Li Yu.
Of course, she believes that her man should not fall to the point where she should lead troops to save her.
Therefore, after the carriage stopped, Xie Wan did not get out of the car, but just lifted the corner of the curtain and looked towards the palace gate.
The city gate that is opened on weekdays is closed at the moment, and the white crane rode on a horse and said to the guards guarding the palace gate: "I am waiting for the order of King Ning to escort the Queen Mother and Princess Ning into the palace, please open the palace gate quickly!" ”
The officers and soldiers guarding the palace gate, you look at me, I look at you, and no one moves.
Xie Wan sighed in her heart when she saw this, wouldn't you? She can't be so useless, right?
Not sure, take another look......
Bai He repeated again, as soon as the words fell, Empress Dowager Chen couldn't wait, she ignored her grandmother's obstruction, and directly lifted the curtain and leaned out.
Seeing this, Mama could only hurriedly get out of the carriage and help her down.
Seeing this scene, Xie Wan's head was big, she hurriedly glanced at Rushi and Ruhua, and the two of them immediately got out of the carriage and came to the Empress Dowager Chen to make a point directly, and then set up the Empress Dowager Chen and stuffed her back into the carriage.
The action was so fast that even Mama didn't react.
Empress Dowager Chen: ......
Her angry eyes were about to pop out, but at this moment she couldn't move or speak, she could only stare dryly.
Xie Wan sighed lightly and got out of the carriage, came to the palace gate and said loudly: "The Queen Mother is back to the palace, why don't you quickly open the palace gate to welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace?" Are you rebelling?! ”
Hearing this, the forbidden soldiers standing on the palace wall were a little panicked, and one of them stepped forward and leaned out, clasped his fists and saluted loudly: "I have seen the Queen Mother and Princess Ning, but the ministers are under the order of King Ning, and only the warrant of King Ning can open the palace door." ”
I see.
But since Li Yu specially told her that she could enter the palace when she heard the bell, why didn't she open the city gate?
Could it be that she came early?
Xie Wan frowned and said, "How can you prove that you are King Ning's person?" ”
The man hesitated for a moment, and was about to answer, but suddenly turned around.
Inside the palace gate, someone said loudly: "King Ning has an order, open the palace gate to welcome the Queen Mother and Princess Ning into the palace!" ”
When the man heard this, he immediately raised his hand: "Open the palace door and welcome the Queen Mother and Princess Ning into the palace!" ”
The palace gate creaked and drove slowly, the guards on the palace wall knelt down on one knee to greet them, Xie Wan got back to the queen mother's carriage, and Bai He gave an order, and a thousand guards escorted the carriage slowly into the palace gate.
Xie Wan did not immediately explain the acupoints to the Empress Dowager Chen, but opened her mouth to explain: "The queen mother's mood and daughter-in-law can understand, but just now the enemy and I are unknown, and there are archers on the palace wall, the queen mother rashly got out of the car and was exposed in front of people, which is really dangerous, and the daughter-in-law has no choice but to do it." ”
Mama persuaded on the side: "Queen Mother, the princess is also thinking about your safety." ”
Empress Dowager Chen glared at Xie Wan, but still did not speak.
Well, because she said she couldn't.
Xie Wan blinked and pretended not to know, but still did not instruct the picturesque to solve her acupuncture.
On the side, Mama looked at the five finger prints on Xie Wan's face, and didn't dare to speak, so Empress Dowager Chen just sat there straight and stared.
The atmosphere in the car was very embarrassing, Xie Wan touched her nose, lifted the curtain and looked outside.
She did it on purpose, Empress Dowager Chen is now a time bomb, if she solves the Empress Dowager Chen's acupoint, she will beat her again, even if she doesn't do it, scolding is definitely indispensable, she has no masochistic tendencies.
Between Empress Dowager Chen's grievances and her grievances, Xie Wan decisively chose the latter.
When they entered the palace gate, it was as usual at first, and the palace people saw such a battle, and stood aside respectfully to salute and watch.
But gradually going inside, it was different, the faint smell of blood began to spread, the more you went inside, the stronger the smell of blood, and there were already palace people carrying water to clean up.
Empress Dowager Chen naturally smelled it, her eyes stopped staring, and she anxiously signaled to Xie Wan.
However, including Xie Wan, everyone in the carriage looked at the outside with a gloomy face, and no one noticed her at all.
Walking further inside, you can gradually see the corpses that have been carried down, the injured Praetorian Guards, and the palace people who are cleaning.
Xie Wan's heart was a little tight, and she silently recited a few words of the mantra of death: "The edict of the Taishang, the lonely soul of Chaoyou, get rid of the sea of suffering, and reincarnate as an adult......"
A low voice echoed in the carriage, and everyone's hearts fell silent inexplicably.
The carriage passed through the Qianqing Gate and stopped in front of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, and Xie Wan asked Rushi to relieve the Empress Dowager Chen.
She thought that Empress Dowager Chen would give her another slap, and she was ready to block, but she never thought that Empress Dowager Chen just glanced at her, and then got out of the carriage silently.
The square of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace has been cleaned up, and there are black and oppressive Janissaries standing.
Bai He stepped forward to open the way, and Xie Wan followed Empress Dowager Chen through the Praetorian Guards on the inner and outer three floors, and then saw a group of people kneeling on the ground, led by the current Ma Guogong and Ma Yushan.
When Ma Yushan saw her, she struggled like a mad dog and was about to come up and bite her, but as soon as she moved, she was slapped down by the forbidden army on the side.
Xie Wan glanced at her, only to see that she was struggling desperately, but she couldn't speak, as if she had been hit dumb, and it seemed that she was really dumb.
Empress Dowager Chen originally walked very fast, but when she was about to arrive at the gate of Qianqing Palace, she suddenly slowed down, as if she had a thousand gold on her feet, and walked slowly step by step.
The plaque of the Qianqing Palace is hung with a white cloth, and there is a big inscription in the middle.
When the palace people saw them, they immediately turned around and entered the palace to report, and after a while, Xiao Quanzi ran out quickly: "Queen Mother, please princess." ”
Empress Dowager Chen didn't move, but looked at him, trembling her lips and asked in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty really ......"
Xiao Quanzi said with a heavy face: "No, Your Majesty is still waiting for the Queen Mother." ”
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Chen's eyes trembled, she directly shook off her grandmother's hand, raised her feet and ran towards the main hall.
However, after running a few steps, her feet were weak, and just as she was about to fall, someone helped her.
Empress Dowager Chen turned her eyes and glanced at Xie Wan who was supporting her, pursed her lips and didn't say anything, only held her hand and walked inward quickly.
