The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues
Chapter 304: The Emperor’s incense continues29
Early the next morning, the already dim-sighted Qin Tian Jian Zheng personally reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am observing the sky at night. It is also appropriate to offer sacrifices and be buried on the sixth day of the lunar month."
Since then, the funeral has been moved from the eighth day of the lunar month to the sixth day of the lunar month, and only the emperor and Qin Tian Jian Zheng knew about this matter.
The eldest prince was still making final communications with the imperial guards he had won over: "When the time comes, a group of assassins will appear. You will make an opening near Meng Meiren's carriage and let the assassins kidnap her. Then the emperor will I will definitely rescue him personally, and once the emperor leaves the large team, the entire team will be under the control of His Highness."
His plan was very rigorous. He would first kidnap Meng Wenyao, and then lure the emperor away from the mountain. After he took control of the remaining team, he would not let the emperor and Meng Wenyao come back alive.
At that time, he can directly inherit the throne in the imperial mausoleum, witnessed by his ancestors.
After discussing with several deputy commanders of the Forbidden Army, the eldest prince finally gave his instructions: "Tomorrow is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. You guys should go back and have a good sleep, and try not to make any mistakes on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."
After a few people said their goodbyes, the eldest prince also returned to his palace to sleep, and began to dream of spring and autumn dreams.
As soon as he arrived at Mao hour, a eunuch woke him up: "Your Highness, get up. Today we are sending the Queen Mother's Zi Palace from the Ancestral Temple to the Imperial Mausoleum."
Hearing this voice in a daze, the eldest prince thought he was dreaming: "Today is only the sixth day of the lunar month, and the funeral will not be held until the eighth day of the lunar month."
He turned over and went back to sleep.
The eunuch was extremely anxious: "Your Highness, someone from Jianzhang Palace has said that Qin Tianjian found that there was something different in the sky last night. Today is more suitable than the eighth day of the lunar month. The palaces have already started to get up. Please get up quickly before it is too late."
"what?"
The eldest prince suddenly jumped up from the bed, making sure that he was not dreaming, and suddenly fear filled his body.
The day had advanced, and it wasn't that all his plans had failed at that time. He put on his clothes in a panic and rushed out.
Everyone in the entire harem had packed up and got on their own carriages, and the convoy slowly started to drive towards the palace gate.
The eldest prince anxiously looked for his own people in the imperial army, but unfortunately there was no one there. They were all recharging their strength at home, waiting for the action on the eighth day of the lunar month.
In this way, the eldest prince followed the team and walked in a daze to a dense forest on the outskirts of Beijing.
Suddenly, arrows like raindrops were shot from the depths of the jungle, and the team was instantly in chaos, with the palace concubines screaming and roaring everywhere.
"Don't be afraid, they are all arranged by me."
The emperor hugged Meng Wenyao tightly, carefully protected her belly, and comforted her softly: "It will be over soon, and everything will be fine in the future."
"As long as the emperor is here, I will not be afraid."
The two people in the carriage were leaning on each other, but the eldest prince in the team was feeling cold.
The people he arranged were clearly on the eighth day of the lunar month, so why did they start to show up early on the sixth day of the lunar month? He saw that after the arrow rain ended, the team was already in a mess, with people on their backs and horses on their backs. The Forbidden Army guarded Long Chu fiercely, and there were almost no Forbidden Army beside the other carriages. guard.
Soon a team of people came galloping over and headed straight for Meng Wenyao's carriage. Then they quickly pulled the people out of the carriage and turned around to leave.
The eldest prince calmed down and galloped to the side of the dragon chariot. He said loudly: "Father, Meng Meiren has been kidnapped."
The dragon chariot opened a crack, and Meng Wenyao said to the eldest prince with a smile like a flower: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
The eldest prince was stunned, Meng Wenyao was fine, so who was in her carriage? He looked around and found that she looked very much like his mother. He rushed to Fenghu's side and opened the curtain, only to see that it was empty.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? The queen mother was actually kidnapped."
He lost his mind for a moment and started shouting: "Stop those people, the queen has been kidnapped."
It's a pity that the situation at the scene was too chaotic. There were calls for help everywhere, and no one went after the robbers.
By this time, only a few people from the Yongning Mansion and the eldest prince went after the queen.
Seeing the eldest prince and several people disappear, the emperor ordered the imperial army to go rescue the queen, and the team was slowly reorganized.
After finishing the arrangements, the imperial concubine came over to report that except for the queen, there were no casualties and almost no one was injured.
The emperor ordered them to rest in place and sent a team of troops to respond.
The concubines and ladies began to get off the carriages to rest. Rumors quickly spread among the crowd, and everyone speculated who had arranged for the queen to be kidnapped.
"I heard that the carriage made by the queen belongs to Meng Meiren. Do you think the robber originally wanted to hijack Meng Meiren?"
A concubine asked in surprise: "Why didn't the queen sit in the phoenix chariot? Why did she sit in Meng Meiren's carriage?"
The concubines were chattering incessantly, and the noble concubine was frightened when she heard it. She remembered that when she was in the palace, the emperor had someone tell her: "There is something wrong with Feng Chu and he is not suitable to be a human being. Beauty Meng will be a dragon with me." Let the Queen be Meng Meiren's carriage."
She didn't have any doubts when she heard that Meng Wenyao was pregnant and her carriage was the most comfortable, so there was nothing wrong with giving it to the queen.
But now that the queen was kidnapped, she suddenly thought, did the emperor know something, or was all this arranged by the emperor.
She looked pale, listening to the concubines' comments, and angrily shouted: "The Queen's life or death is uncertain. How can you be so unworthy of criticizing her?"
Some concubines immediately silenced themselves, and some still had the courage to say: "They were all kidnapped, and they came back innocent. How can the imperial court have a queen who has been kidnapped? My dear concubine, you will be the new queen soon. My concubines are also happy for you!"
After hearing this, the frightened concubine also felt a little secretly happy in her heart. The emperor did not shy away from involving her in plotting against the queen. Could it be that he regarded her as one of his own and sincerely supported her as his successor? ?
She pretended to be angry and said: "Don't talk nonsense. I miss you because of the sudden change and will not care about it. You must not talk nonsense like this in the future."
Half an hour later, there was no movement from the Queen's side. In order not to delay the auspicious time of the Queen Mother's burial, everyone continued on their way.
When they arrived at the imperial mausoleum, the queen was finally rescued, but her clothes were messy and she looked haggard, completely lacking the demeanor of the mother of a country.
Seeing such a queen, the courtiers and concubines knew that this queen was no longer worthy of being a queen.
The emperor frowned and said in a deep voice: "Take the queen down to rest, and the sacrifice will continue."
To pay homage to the deceased Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Queen were required to worship together. Now that the Emperor allows the Queen to go down, he is depriving her of her status as a royal wife.
The queen knew that in the eyes of everyone, she was not as good as the dignity gained through death. When she was first kidnapped by the robbers, she also thought about committing suicide to save the last bit of dignity, but she was unwilling to do so!
