Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 604 Chaos (2)

  Prince Li Jing is recovering from his injuries, while Crown Princess Lu Mingyu is alive and well.

   In the battle of Jiangnan Governor's Palace, Lu Mingyu saved her husband and killed countless people for thousands of miles, and his fame spread far and wide.

  Emperor Yongjia still has to maintain the dignity of the heavenly family. In front of all the ministers, he said happily: "I allowed Mr. Lu to leave the capital that day. I also did not expect that this step of idle chess was the right one. It is the crown prince's blessing to have such a beautiful woman."

  The ministers were very interested in following a few words, and they had to joke a few words behind their backs.

   "No wonder the Queen Mother suddenly 'recovered', it turned out to be because the Crown Princess left Beijing."

   "When I meet such a powerful daughter-in-law, even the emperor has a headache."

   "King Xingyang has a nature to protect his shortcoming. Even if the emperor is angry again, he has to endure it. Besides, it is fortunate that the concubine and concubine rushed to the place in time. Otherwise, the governor's palace would really be breached, and the life of the prince would not be guaranteed."

   "The Crown Princess has done a great job!"

  Jokes aside, in the hearts of all the ministers, the Crown Princess quietly moved from being powerful to the column of "must not provoke".

   Mr. Qiao Ge mentioned sending a letter to Jiangnan at this time, and his meaning was obvious, that he wanted to invite the Crown Princess Lu Mingyu to return to Beijing. With Queen Qiao alone, I'm afraid it won't be able to shake the overall situation.

  Civil officials are okay to say that several generals holding heavy soldiers are all unruly. Regardless of whether it is the Marquis of Puyang or the Marquis of Guangping, one must guard against one or two.

   Queen Qiao glanced at Elder Qiao and quickly understood what Elder Qiao meant, but did not respond immediately.

  Lu Mingyu went all the way to Jiangnan. Now that something has happened in the capital, it is too hard for her to rush back to the capital.

  Luo Shangshu saw Queen Qiao's hesitation, and also opened his mouth to persuade: "It's not a trivial matter for the emperor to faint. This matter must be made known to His Royal Highness."

   It's a bad thing to say, if Emperor Yongjia had an accident, Li Jing would have to return to Beijing immediately to take the throne.

   There are several adult princes in the capital. In case someone has a different heart and makes trouble and takes the opportunity to make trouble, it is not good.

   Even Yao Shangshu couldn't help but say: "My minister thinks that Qiao Gelao and Luo Shangshu are right. The crown prince is the crown prince of the country. If such a major event occurs in the palace, we must send a letter to His Royal Highness as soon as possible."

   As for how to deal with it, it is something that His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess have to consider.

   Empress Qiao was confused, took a deep breath, and calmly said: "You are right, this palace will send people to Jiangnan to send letters."

  The ministers also sighed in relief.

   Queen Qiao returned to the main hall after instructing the ministers.

  Emperor Yongjia still didn't wake up.

   Queen Qiao had a guess in her heart, and then looked at Emperor Yongjia, who was full of golden needles and did not respond, and the word "stroke" appeared in her mind. If it was a stroke, it would not be easy to wake him up, and he couldn't just lie here all the time.

   Not to mention, there is a father-in-law Liu underneath.

   Queen Qiao said to the Queen Mother: "Mother, it's better for someone to carry the emperor back to the dragon couch. The emperor can lie down steadily, and it is more convenient to treat. Even if you can't wake up for a while, you can lie down on the dragon couch with peace of mind."

   Empress Dowager Zhao had no idea long ago, so she just nodded: "It's okay, all the queens make up their minds."

   On the other hand, the Zhou Yuan envoy said, "Please wait a moment for the empress. Wait for the minister to pull out the gold needle first."

   Queen Qiao hummed: "Everything has to do with Lao Zhou's envoy."

   Eunuch Liu, who was treated as a meat pad, was so moved that he almost cried. Sure enough, the queen is still kind-hearted.

  …

  The Palace of the Three Princes.

   "Report to Empress, the Fifth Prince and Concubine Empress is here." The palace servants hurried over to report.

  Meng Yunluo was fidgeting and said without thinking, "Let her in quickly."

   After a while, the fifth prince concubine Yu came in.

   In just three short years, the delicate and gentle Mrs. Yu has lost a lot of weight by grinding, her complexion is dull and her eyes are dull. Even though she is still a young woman, she has lost her vitality, like a flower that has fallen prematurely.

  The Yu family was tossed by Li Chang and returned to her parents' home last year. Later, Li Chang was reprimanded by Emperor Yongjia, and he was much more honest. Don't dare to do anything to the Yu family again, and ignore the Yu family.

   Meng Yunluo didn't have much sympathy for Yu. In her opinion, it was because the Yu family was too stupid to coax her husband.

At this time, Meng Yunluo saw Yu's family, as if she saw her relatives, she grabbed Yu's hand and said in a hurry, "I heard that there was a letter from the palace saying that there are two more princesses in the palace of the first prince and the fourth prince. It's time for Xuanzhao to enter the palace. Have you received an oral order?"

   Mr. Yu shook his head: "No."

   "Neither do I." Meng Yunluo clutched her chest with an ugly face: "I don't know what's going on, my heart is pounding and beating non-stop. I always feel that something is wrong!"

Yu pursed the corners of his mouth and said softly: "I rarely go out of the house, and I don't know anything about the outside world. I only know that His Royal Highness has disappeared a long time ago. Sister-in-law knows a little bit, so I came here to ask."

   Meng Yunluo's heart sank again.

  Li Hao also entered the palace.

   Could it be that their brothers got into trouble in the palace?

   Meng Yunluo thought of Li Hao's strangeness last night, and her bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

   She gritted her teeth, opened her mouth and said, "We're guessing here, but we can't guess anything. Why don't we go to the palace together to see."

   Mr. Yu could only nod his head.

  妯娌 two rode in the carriage and entered the palace together.

  The palace was in chaos, and no one cared about the two of them at all. As a prince and concubine, it is very convenient to enter the harem. However, when I went to Shouning Palace and went to Yanxi Palace, Concubine Meng was not there.

  The palace servant in Yanxi Palace knew some news and said in a low voice, "I heard that the emperor was in a coma, and the empress went to Wenhua Palace for two hours. I haven't come back till now."

   Just two sentences, like a bolt from the blue!

  Meng Yunluo's face turned pale and her legs were soft.

   Mrs. Yu's face also paled, and she glanced at Meng Yunluo: "Sister-in-law three, could it be that His Highness and the others caused the trouble..."

   Meng Yunluo grabbed Mrs. Yu's hand, and her long nails cut through the back of Mrs. Yu's hand: "Let's go to Wenhua Hall now and ask what's going on."

   Mr. Yu endured the pain and said nothing.

  妯娌 hurried to Wenhua Hall.

   When he reached the gate of the palace, he was stopped as a matter of course. The servants went in to communicate, and after a while, Concubine Meng came out.

   "Aunt," Meng Yunluo shouted her old name in a panic, her voice trembling: "Aunt, what happened today?"

Concubine Meng's eyes were red, and her voice was hoarse: "What is the matter, you have to ask Li Hao and Li Chang. The emperor was so mad that he passed out, it took half a day, and he still hasn't woken up. If the emperor has any good or bad, the two of them will also be evil. Stop trying to live."

   As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Meng Yunluo fall down softly.

   Mr. Yu's face suddenly paled, and he managed to keep from fainting.

   Concubine Meng was not in the mood to say anything, and hurriedly threw a sentence: "I'll go in and call an imperial doctor. If I can't do anything, don't make trouble."

   Mr. Yu bit his lip hard, tears falling from the corners of his eyes one by one.

  …
