"mother……"

Lu Jinyan turned around first and called out.

I kept everything a secret, but I didn't expect the eldest princess to come by herself.

Xuan Pinghou came to his senses, stepped forward quickly, and supported the eldest princess.

"Ma'am, I woke up early today."

The eldest princess frowned, "It's not early, are you waiting for you to do something behind my back?"

Speaking of the eldest princess staring at Lu Jinyan, her voice was rare to be cold and firm, "Jinyan, tell me the truth today, why do you want to enter the palace?"

Xuan Pinghou persuaded: "Madam, don't be so frightened that you are cautious."

Lu Jinyan calmed down at this time. As a member of the royal family, the eldest princess has never been a person who can't stand the storm, but because the person who loves her doesn't want her to worry about it.

She took a step forward, and calmly told all the things that had happened in the past few days.

After hearing this, the eldest princess was calmer than expected. She sighed, "This day has finally come."

Lu Jinyan didn't understand what the eldest princess meant, but saw her take out a palace card from her sleeve.

"Take this, no one will stop you when you enter the palace."

Lu Jinyan took it over, "Thank you, mother."

The eldest princess shook her head, "Thank you for your hard work."

"If I can help Ah Chan a little bit, I will be satisfied."

The eldest princess was startled, and patted her hand, "You are a good boy."

Lu Jinyan didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly brought Dongqing into the palace.

Entering the palace this time, Lu Jinyan clearly felt that the palace was heavily guarded. Not only were people checking the palace gates, but even patrolling every once in a while.

There can still be an assassin in this situation, it can only be said that the assassin came from the palace.

At the same time, Sima Yi, who was in Kunning Palace, also learned the news that Lu Jinyan had entered the palace.After thinking about it, he sent a court lady into the delivery room to tell Guo Chan the news.

Guo Chan frowned and listened to the maid's words. In the delivery room, the painful cries of Empress Zhang who was a few steps away from her were hard to ignore.

Empress Zhang gave birth prematurely because of her fetal gas, which undoubtedly made the already chaotic situation more prone to loopholes.As for why Guo Chan was in the delivery room, it was naturally because she didn't trust the people in the palace at all.

The maid who assassinated Empress Zhang and was arrested has been determined to be the person in the laundry room, but the maid is very stubborn, so far she has not identified the person behind the scenes.

Guo Chan was worried that the murderer would fail to make another plan, so she went into the delivery room to protect Queen Zhang and her unborn baby.

Seeing Empress Zhang lying in great pain on the bed, and the two stable women beside her struggling to give birth to Empress Zhang, Guo Chan hesitated for a moment, Lu Jinyan said that there must be something important to enter the palace at this time.

After much deliberation, Guo Chan had no choice but to ask the maid to report to Sima Yi for someone to take Lu Jinyan to Kunning Palace.

Lu Jinyan did not expect to meet Ling Qi at the gate of Kunning Palace.

Ling Qi obviously didn't expect to see her either, and was stunned for a long time.

Seeing this, Lu Jinyan said first, "General Ling, long time no see."

Ling Qi nodded blankly, "I've seen Lord Hou."

Even though the two had a erroneous fate in the past, in the final analysis, neither of them knew the other, and they were speechless for a while.But in Lu Jinyan's eyes, Ling Qi has never been considered a bad person.

She couldn't help reminding: "I heard that General Ling has outstanding abilities. Given time, he will definitely become a pillar of the court and once again glorify the lintel of the General's mansion. Old General Ling will also be proud of General Ling in the spirit of heaven."

Hearing these words, Ling Qi felt the cold from the soles of his feet invade his whole body for a moment, making him unable to move.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Jinyan said softly: "General Ling, do you think so? I think what Old General Ling wants to see most is that you will carry on the family line of the general's mansion and revive the lintel."

Today Ling Qi finally understands what it means to punish every word. He smiled wryly, and said in a deep voice: "There are some roads that I can't help myself. But thank you Lord Hou for pointing it out."

Seeing this, Lu Jinyan's heart sank, Ling Qi must know the inside story.

The two worked independently, Lu Jinyan stopped talking and entered Kunning Palace sideways.

"Lu Jinyan has met the emperor."

Sima Yi raised his hand to get her up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After getting up, Lu Jinyan bowed to Zhao Laiyi who was beside him, "I have seen Lady Zhaoyi."

Zhao Laiyi was not surprised at all here, and since she learned from the little eunuch who announced her that Queen Zhang was giving birth, she had a plan.And this plan needs her cooperation from Zhao Laiyi.

Zhao Laiyi nodded, "I don't know why Lord Hou entered the palace at this time?"

Lu Jinyan thought that Zhao Laiyi might be playing tricks at this time, she smiled slightly, and said affectionately: "Speaking of it, I am afraid that my mother will make a joke. I am really worried that Ah Chan will not return to the house for a long time, so I borrowed my mother's palace card to enter the palace." Look."

Sima Yi glanced at Lu Jinyan in surprise, but Lu Jinyan didn't notice it because she had been paying attention to Zhao Laiyi.After she finished speaking, Zhao Laiyi's eyes became a little cold and hostile.

At this time, a court lady came out with blood, and Guo Chan also appeared at the door.

Lu Jinyan was overjoyed, but because someone was around, he couldn't speak, so the two had to meet their eyes.In the eyes of outsiders, this is undoubtedly a binocular teaser.

At this time, Guo Chan noticed that Lu Jinyan's hanging right hand was pointing at Dongqing next to her, and immediately understood what she meant.

"Holly, come in and protect the Empress with me."

Dongqing said yes, and then entered the delivery room in full view.

Zhao Laiyi gave Lu Jinyan a strange look, with an unclear look in his eyes.

Dongqing entered the delivery room and followed Guo Chan to a corner where she could see Queen Zhang and avoid everyone.

While paying attention to Queen Zhang's situation, Guo Chan asked Dongqing, "Why did you enter the palace?"

Dongqing took out the letter written by Lu Jinyan from her sleeve and handed it to Guo Chan.

Guo Chan accepted it suspiciously, and asked Dongqing to pay attention to the movements in the delivery room, while she read the letter carefully.

Accompanied by the cry of a baby, she just finished reading the letter, and she couldn't hide her shock.

Wen Po wrapped up Empress Zhang's child and said with a smile: "Princess, the Empress has given birth! Congratulations to the Empress for getting a princess!"

Queen Zhang was shocked when she heard the words, how could it be a princess?Shouldn't she be pregnant with a prince? !

Guo Chan was also a little puzzled. Her mother had clearly said that this baby would definitely be a boy, so how did she become a princess.

Although exhausted, Queen Zhang still sat up and wanted to confirm for herself.Although it was still a little dirty, Empress Zhang didn't care at all at this time, she directly lifted the quilt that wrapped the child, and it was indeed a princess.

But in the end it was her own flesh and blood, Queen Zhang stretched out her hand and touched the child's head, shedding tears.She tried her best, but that's all.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wen hurriedly persuaded, "Your Majesty, watch your eyes carefully, you won't shed tears!"

Empress Zhang didn't care, she knew she was going to die soon, she looked at Guo Chan who was walking aside, and begged: "Please tell the emperor, the mistake I made alone, I will bear it alone, but the crime is not as good as this child .She is just a girl, and she asked the princess to intercede for her."

Everyone was confused and lowered their heads, afraid that they heard something they shouldn't hear.

Guo Chan hugged the child from Queen Zhang, but she just said indifferently: "The emperor has his own decision." She immediately glanced at everyone, and said coldly: "From now on, everyone here is not as good as me. Order not to leave here!"

After saying that, Guo Chan said to Dongqing: "You guard here first, you are only allowed to enter, not to exit. I will ask Lin Jing to come over and replace you later."

Dongqing probably guessed Guo Chan's thoughts and nodded.

Everyone behind them looked at each other in dismay, their expressions flustered, not knowing what happened, it was clear that they were going to be locked up, only Empress Zhang looked remorseful and in pain.

The door was slowly opened, and Guo Chan walked out with a baby in her arms.

Lu Jinyan noticed that the door behind Guo Chan was quickly closed again, and Dongqing did not come out.

Guo Chan walked up to Sima Yi and said loudly, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for having a prince!"

When everyone heard the words, they quickly knelt down to congratulate, and Sima Yi also stepped forward, seeing the baby peacefully in the swaddle, he felt a bit of comfort in his heart.Although there are many disappointments to the child's biological mother, the child is his child after all.

Sima Yi couldn't hide his joy, "Reward!"

Sima Yi laughed twice, but Guo Chan said: "Your Majesty, please move to the side hall, Danyang has something to discuss with you."

Sima Yi didn't understand, but seeing Guo Chan's serious expression, he nodded.

After taking two steps, Guo Chan suddenly turned around, "This matter is of great importance, please also go with Lady Zhaoyi."

Hearing this, Zhao Laiyi first glanced at Lu Jinyan, who was at the end. Guo Chan called her, not Lu Jinyan.That alone made her happy.

Before turning to leave, Guo Chan glanced at Lu Jinyan.

After they left, Lu Jinyan looked thoughtfully at the delivery room with the door closed.

Seeing Guo Chan hugging the little prince, Zhao Laiyi said, "The little prince has just been born, so she should be taken care of by Granny Wen."

Guo Chan shook her head, "What I want to talk about is related to the little prince. Now some villains are trying to harm the emperor's heir. The empress finally gave birth to the little prince. If something goes wrong due to a momentary negligence, no one can afford it."

Zhao Laiyi took a closer look at the little prince in Dongqing's arms, wrinkled and not good-looking.Thinking this way in his heart, he said on his mouth: "The ice and snow born by the little prince are cute, very similar to the emperor."

She paused, looked away, and said softly: "But the palace is strictly guarded, as long as there are more people to protect, the little prince will definitely be safe."

Guo Chan immediately objected, "Are there not enough guards in Qianqiu Banquet Palace? Are there not many guards in Kunning Palace today? Didn't accidents happen as usual, and I suspect that there are spies in the palace!"

Zhao Laiyi was surprised and said: "Spies? Are there any spies in the palace?"

Guo Chan said coldly: "But the current situation is obvious that someone is lurking in the palace! We have to guard against it!"

Sima Yi remained silent.

Zhao Laiyi's expression quickly returned to normal, she thought for a while and said, "Then I don't know if the princess has plans?"

Guo Chan just nodded.

"I think the little prince should be secretly sent out of the palace to be raised temporarily."

Zhao Laiyi noticed the word "secret", "Is the princess planning to use tricks?"

"Exactly!" Guo Chan glanced at the two of them, "Only you and I know what happened today, not even the empress dowager can tell. Then I sent someone to send the little prince to the Tianling Temple outside the city overnight to raise him, The host there is familiar with me and will definitely take good care of it.”

Sima Yi hesitated, "But the baby is just born, will it be life-threatening?"

Zhao Laiyi echoed, "What the emperor said makes sense."

Guo Chan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and Sima Yi could see her elegant neck from this angle.

"It doesn't matter, because my mother is about to give birth, there are nurses and maidservants waiting in the mansion. In order not to attract attention, I let them accompany the little prince to Tianling Temple to take care of his daily life."

Seeing that there seemed to be no more appropriate method, Sima Yi had no choice but to agree, but because he was worried about the little prince, Sima Yi repeatedly asked to ensure the safety of the little prince.

Zhao Laiyi stood aside, with her head slightly lowered, without saying a word, not knowing what she was thinking.

After the matter was decided in this way, Guo Chan asked Dongqing to take the little prince to nurse first.

Guo Chan suddenly said to Zhao Laiyi: "The palace still needs to make the illusion that the little prince is still in the palace, and this will bother Madam Zhaoyi."

Zhao Laiyi looked into those clear eyes and saw the trust accurately. She nodded seriously, "Leave this matter to me, the princess."

Guo Chan smiled slightly, "Thank you."

"The princess is serious."

There was a momentary pause in her heart, and Zhao Laiyi took a lot of effort to stop herself from staring at her all the time.

Seeing this, Sima Yi showed a tired look, and ordered: "Danyang, you are in charge of the little prince's leaving the palace. As for the affairs of the concubine's palace, I will leave it to you, and the empress will keep it a secret for now."

The two answered in unison, "Yes."

Seeing Zhao Laiyi turn around, Guo Chan flipped her hands lightly, and followed her out of the side hall of Kunning Palace.

Sima Yi waited until the door was closed, and then took out the thing Guo Chan secretly threw to him just now.

It was a letter. At first glance, he thought it was Guo Chan's handwriting. After careful reading, he found that although the handwriting was similar to Guo Chan's, the strength was completely different.

Don't think about it, this letter came from Lu Jinyan.

He almost read the letter with his eyebrows tightly frowned. Guo Chan knew his plan early in the morning and sent Empress Zhang's child to the folks for upbringing, so her solemn proposal today seemed superfluous, more like a deliberate effort. He also guessed that it had something to do with Lu Jinyan's hasty entry into the palace, but he didn't know the inside story behind it.

After staying alone for a long time, Sima Yi called Li Xiu.

Palace Dungeon.

Li Xiu held on to the whisk with one hand, and looked coldly at the maid who was tied to the stool and fell asleep due to her injuries.This court lady was the one who assassinated Empress Zhang yesterday. Regardless of her ordinary appearance, she would not attract attention at all. Who would have thought that she was an assassin.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu yelled coldly: "Why are you standing still, why don't you wake me up!"

"Yes!"

A basin of cold water was poured from the top of the head, and the maid let out a painful gasp and opened her eyes.When she saw Li Xiu, there was no wave in her eyes, as if she had already expected the ending.

Li Xiu could tell from her expression that this person was a tough one, but as the chief executive, how could he succeed without a little bit of tricks?After many years in and out of the Punishment Division, he was used to seeing these people. As long as they were not dead, he could always find a clue.

"Come on, get on the tiger bench."

Li Xiu's tone was light and casual, as if she was talking about breakfast.

The palace lady was not afraid, even if she was in pain, she just frowned and whispered.Li Xiu was not in a hurry, and asked someone to move a stool, served good tea, and leisurely ordered dozens of punishments, one after the other with different patterns.

By the time all the punishments had been exhausted, the court lady was already dying.

The young eunuchs who were torturing were biting the bullet and told Li Xiu that they had never seen such a tolerant court lady. Ordinary court ladies would be terrified just by seeing blood.

Li Xiu finally put down the teacup in his hand, he walked slowly to the maid, and bent slightly, there was not a single piece of intact skin on her body, there were blood stains all over her body, and her eyes were a little lax, but Li Xiu knew that she Be sure to hear what he has to say next.

"Worthy of being a lady Zhaoyi, she is really capable."

The maid lowered her eyes, smiled coldly, and said with all her strength, "Is she worthy?"

Li Xiu took a step back. He had already got the answer. When he mentioned Lady Zhaoyi just now, he didn't miss the panic flashing in the maid's eyes. Spotted this immediately.

It turned out that this court lady really had something to do with Zhao Zhaoyi!No wonder she, a maid in the laundry room, was able to enter the Kunning Palace.

Li Xiu turned around and left, before leaving, he ordered: "Prison him well! Something happened, the emperor will ask you!"
