Chapter 123
"The courtiers thank the mother for their love, but there is no need, if the right minister refuses to let me go, even if the courtiers follow the mother all day long, it is useless, not to mention that the courtiers have a father, and the mother has to be filial, but I am afraid that I will not be able to respond to the good intentions of the mother."
Hua Zhao knew that the queen was there to protect her own safety, but she didn't think it was necessary.
In her memory, after returning to Beijing after this procession, the four princes colluded with the foreign fan will send envoys to face the saint, in the name of harmony, the purpose is to assassinate the emperor, but those people were stopped by Xu Zexuan's people, and the assassination was not successful
In the next few days, the queen has been busy thinking of clearing the suspicions of the four princes, and she has no time to take care of her.
"Okay then, this palace will find a way to help you get out of the marriage as soon as possible......"
The queen looked at Hua Zhao and her heart softened.
What Hua Zhao said has some truth, she has reached the age of marriage, but because of the marriage contract with the third prince, this step has been saved, and she is not far from getting married.
In the end, if she really marries into the royal family, then she is a royal person, and it is not easy to return to the Hua family, and it is good to stay in the Hua family now.
Before the queen was about to say something, she saw Mama Jiang hurriedly walk in.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty summons Miss Hua."
It is good for the queen and the emperor to respect each other, but the queen is the queen after all, no matter how high her status is, there is no way to snatch people from the emperor.
"Hongu will go with you, don't be afraid."
This kind of thing happened tonight, and the emperor naturally pulled Hua Zhao to interrogate her, and the queen was worried that she was afraid, so she was ready to get up and follow Hua Zhao to face the saint.
After seeing the queen get up, Hua Zhao obviously saw that Mama Jiang's expression was a little stiff, and she instantly understood that she was the only one the emperor wanted to summon, and the queen was afraid that the emperor would be dissatisfied with her.
Since the queen treats herself sincerely, Hua Zhao will not cause her some trouble out of thin air, so she endured the pain and got up and said goodbye to the queen.
"Niangniang, let's go alone, in the middle of the night, I won't disturb Niangniang's rest."
"Zhao'er ......"
The queen looked at Hua Zhao's pale face, and she was still a little worried that she would go alone.
"Don't worry, the courtiers will be careful."
Hua Zhao gave the queen a look, endured the stinging pain under his feet, and left the queen's courtyard with steps.
"Mama Jiang, do you think Zhao'er can do it alone......"
The queen looked at her back and sighed.
She has served the emperor for many years, and she also has some understanding of the emperor's temperament, how can she not think of what Hua Zhao can think of, but she really can't risk the glory of her mother's family.
"Miss Hua is smart and clever, Niangniang can rest assured, not to mention that there is also Zuo Xiang, the sixth princess, Your Majesty will definitely not embarrass Miss Hua."
Mama Jiang changed a cup of tea for the queen, and she was also a little worried in her heart.
It's rare for the queen to really like a junior, and she naturally hopes that Hua Zhao can do well.
Hua Zhao walked to the door and saw Gonggong Jiang waiting at the door with a few guards carrying a soft sedan chair.
"Miss Hua, Your Majesty wants to see you, and I would like to ask you to take a trip."
The smile on Gonggong Jiang's face has always been the same, and Hua Zhao couldn't see anything, so he just responded softly and got into the sedan chair.
Hua Zhao didn't have to wait for Gonggong Jiang's report, so he went in directly.
After Hua Zhao entered, she swept around, and there were more people who came today, the emperor, Xu Jingwan, Luo Huaiyue, Luo Huaiqing, Xu Zexuan, the four princes, Liang Pingjing, Liang Yinwan, and she even saw Luo Yu in the corner.
Xu Jingwan was timid, and she was lying beside the emperor at the moment, asking the emperor to find out the origin of those people, while Luo Huaiyue and Luo Yu were standing aside, and they were relieved to see her coming.
"Courtiers see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed."
Hua Zhao saluted, but because of the injury under his feet, his movements were a little stiff.
"No courtesy, Gonggong Jiang, give a seat."
The emperor waved his hand and motioned for Hua Zhao to get up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hua Zhao's position was arranged by Luo Huaiqing's side, perhaps because of Luo Huaiqing, Hua Zhao felt a lot more settled in his heart.
"Zhao girl, you were assassinated tonight, I heard that you met an assassin, tell me, what's going on?"
The emperor appeased Xu Jingwan, and then moved his eyes to Hua Zhao.
"Back to Your Majesty, we ...... today"
Hua Zhao calmed down and said all about today's events, but when she talked about the assassin, she said one less word about the assassin's shout, and she carefully observed Liang Pingjing's face as she spoke.
Sure enough, after Liang Pingjing heard that all those assassins were captured alive, his whole face turned pale, and even his hands trembled a little.
"Since the target of those assassins is Wan'er, why would they chase you?"
The emperor also heard about this incident from Xu Jingwan's mouth before, and asked Hua Zhao to come over, just to know what those assassins said when they chased Hua Zhao, and to see if there was any useful news.
"Courtiers don't know ......"
Before Hua Zhao's words were finished, Luo Huaiqing, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke.
"When those assassins were chasing Miss Hua, Wei Chen heard what the assassins led by Wei Chen said, as if he said that there was more than one group of assassins, maybe the sixth princess was deeply blessed and rushed to the official mansion in time. This time, many assassins were dispatched, but none of the people they wanted to kill were injured, according to the minister, the assassins will appear again, Your Majesty may wish to send more people to protect the six princesses and Miss Hua in the dark, maybe there is a chance to catch the assassins. ”
Hua Zhao listened to what Luo Huaiqing said, and silently gave him a thumbs up in his heart.
She was still worried about her safety, but now Luo Huaiqing solved it all for her in a few words.
Even if the emperor doesn't take her seriously, even if it is to catch the assassin as soon as possible, he will send someone to guard him, with the emperor's people, Liang Pingjing naturally does not dare to act rashly, Liang Pingjing has been silent, then this person has not been caught, in this way, it has fallen into a dead loop, and the group of people sent by the emperor can still prevent the four princes from blackmailing her......
"Your Majesty, the minister has a different opinion."
Liang Pingjing listened to Luo Huaiqing's words, pondered for a moment, and also stood up.
"I think that those assassins didn't succeed, and they must know that there will be more people around the sixth princess and Miss Hua to protect them in the short term, and now arranging people will only startle the snake, but I am afraid that those people will change their methods, and it will be even more difficult to arrest."
Liang Pingjing's words are reasonable, but the meaning of his words is clearly to let Hua Zhao and Xu Jingwan be bait to lure the assassins to assassinate them again.
"Right Prime Minister, does that mean that this princess should be the bait? If there is something wrong with this princess, I really don't know how many lives the right minister can lose! ”
