Jade of Rebirth

Chapter 188 Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas

Soon, Wu Yeti and Shuilongyin arrived.

Yu Li was already fully dressed, and was sitting under the window waiting for them. There was no trace of sadness or sadness on his handsome face, but he said solemnly, "You guys contacted Princess Changle and the Huo family last night, did you get any results?"

Shui Longyin had a bit of shame on his face, he didn't dare to look directly at him, he lowered his head and said: "As for the princess, Huo Gong said that I will ask to see the queen mother this morning, as long as the prince does not plead guilty, he will have a chance to reverse the case..." But if Yuan Heng has pleaded guilty, or has "suicide in fear of crime", then, I'm afraid there will be no revenge.

Yu Li glanced at him sideways, and said: "It's only natural, how could the prince plead guilty?!" Then he turned to Wu Yeti and asked, "What does my mother-in-law say?"

Wu Yeti nodded and said: "The eldest princess replied that she will also go to see the Queen Mother and Her Majesty early this morning."

"Okay. I see, you guys go down." Yu Li said.

"Princess..." Wu Yeti looked at him hesitantly, and asked after a while, "Would you like to go out and verify the news about the prince?"

But Yu Li changed his attitude, and said calmly: "No need, this matter is naturally false, the other party bullied us and put us under house arrest, and has no communication with the outside world, thinking that they can lie to us... I won't believe it. You go down to rest first, wait until noon, and then go to inquire about the news, and see how my adoptive mother and Mr. Huo's begging to see the queen mother turns out."

"Yes."

Seeing that the two of them retreated, Bisheng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Princess, why don't you have breakfast first?"

"Well, of course you have to have breakfast, otherwise how can you have the strength to deal with the other party?" Yu Li's eyes were determined, "You go and pass on the breakfast, I'm already hungry."

"Yes."

……

in the palace.

Princess Changle's sedan chair was rushed into the palace, and finally carried into Ziwei Palace.Princess Changle stepped down from the sedan chair, and seeing the strict guards in the palace, Liu Yemei frowned slightly.She has rarely seen Ziwei Palace like this. Although there are usually many guards, they are not so high. It is almost five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry... It can be seen that the people behind the chaos can no longer hold back, and want to The minions reached out to the emperor.

She slowly approached the emperor's bedroom, but saw that there were several servants guarding outside the bedroom. When she wanted to go in, a servant with a sharp eye stepped forward to stop her, and said in a very arrogant tone:

"Stop! No one is allowed to enter without His Majesty's summons!"

"Presumptuous!" Before Princess Changle could speak, Yizhen, the maid beside her, stepped forward and yelled, "You bastard with no eyes, this is Your Highness Princess Changle!"

The servant's face was slightly restrained, but his tone was still firm: "Today is the queen mother, and she is not allowed to enter. Princess, please go back!"

"What do you mean 'the Empress Dowager is not allowed to enter?'" Princess Changle frowned and asked, with anger already in her words, "Your Majesty is sick and needs to recuperate, instead of being placed under house arrest! Now, as His Majesty's relative Sister, go in and visit for a while, can you still tolerate you as a servant?"

Seeing that the other party was speechless, she said again: "Go away, this princess must go in to see the emperor today!"

As he said that, the two guards behind him immediately stepped forward to restrain a few guards who blocked him. The guards didn't have any martial arts skills, so they were naturally no match for the guards, so they were quickly restrained and made way.

"It should have been like this earlier!" Princess Changle snorted proudly, and was supported by Yizhen to walk towards the door, but just as she reached the door, the door opened with a "squeak". Get out of it.

Concubine Shu was wearing a begonia-pink palace dress, combed in a bun, and a little red flower tint on her forehead, making her look very charming.

Concubine Shu usually dresses plainly, and she seldom dresses so coquettishly. Princess Changle couldn't help being angry when she saw her, and she just held back her anger and asked, "Concubine Shu, my brother is ill now, how do you dress up?" Isn't it inappropriate to be so charming?"

Concubine Shu came out of the palace, smiled at her, and said: "Your Majesty said that he likes the color of the courtiers and concubines, and that he is happy to see it, and his condition has also improved. Why, the Eldest Princess also has an opinion on this?"

Princess Changle couldn't help but look at her in surprise when she heard the words... Concubine Shu's usual behavior was just like her clothes, she was very unobtrusive and low-key, but now she was completely different, her expression was even more triumphant, and she was very happy The scene of the villain gaining power.But it doesn't matter what Concubine Shu is like now, the important thing is that she wants to see the emperor!

Thinking of this, she said to Concubine Shu: "I just don't think it's appropriate, forget it, I'll go see Brother Huang." As she said that, she was about to go inside, but was stopped by Concubine Shu suddenly:

"I'm sorry, princess, the concubine just served His Majesty to sleep, why don't you disturb His Majesty?"

"Did you really fall asleep or did you not let the princess see the emperor?" Princess Changle opened Concubine Shu's hand angrily, "You all obstructed me from seeing the emperor, do you have any intentions? Get out of here, I must see Brother Huang today!"

She said that she was about to rush in, but she heard "stop" behind her, she was stunned, turned around and saw that it was Ning Wang Yuanying!

I saw Yuanying wearing a jade-colored prince's python robe, holding his hands behind his back, and was standing not far away with a team of imperial guards, looking at her coldly, seeing her look over, smiled slightly, and said: "Aunt Huang, it's just father After giving the order, no one can disturb his rest, you better not go in, otherwise, my nephew can't bear it..."

Only then did Princess Changle realize that there was evil and coldness in Yuan Ying's eyes. Rebellion!

She knew that she would not be able to see her imperial brother today no matter what, so she sneered and said, "Okay, since the imperial brother is resting, I won't bother you. Yizhen, let's go!"

Regardless of the expressions of Concubine Shu and Yuanying behind her, she turned around and walked hurriedly, as if she was afraid that someone would be chasing her, and walked towards the Yihua Palace where the Queen Mother was, but after walking a hundred steps, she met the same walking Huo Zong, who was in a hurry, was overjoyed when she saw this, and hurried forward and said:

"Mr Huo!"

Huo Zong bowed to her and said, "Where does Your Highness the eldest princess come from?"

"I just came from Ziwei Palace where the emperor's brother is, and now the emperor is under house arrest by Yuan Ying and Concubine Shu, and even I can't see him... Mrs. Huo, I want to see the queen mother now, and beg her to send Heng'er first." Take it easy..." Princess Changle said halfway, but Huo Zong shook his head and said:

"It's useless, the old minister just came from the Empress Dowager's Yihua Palace, and the Empress Dowager is also under house arrest!"

Princess Changle was taken aback for a moment, and then she said extremely annoyed: "How dare he, how dare he do such a rebellious thing! Is it true that there is no one in the court!"

Huo Zong sighed, and said: "Now His Majesty is under his control, and the imperial guards in front of the palace are also under his control, that is, the entire palace is under his control. If you want to compete with him, you must second troops to Beijing! "

Princess Changle never expected that the matter would develop to such a serious point. She thought it was just an ordinary struggle between princes and a rivalry between brothers, but it turned out that Yuan Ying was planning to kill his father and younger brother and seek to usurp the throne!

She asked anxiously again: "You are a privy envoy, you have the power to mobilize troops and horses..."

"Mobilizing troops requires the other half of His Majesty's Tiger Talisman, but now that His Majesty is under house arrest, how can he get the Tiger Talisman?"

"Then... what about Heng'er? How is it now?"

Mr. Huo shook his head heavily again: "I don't know where they are locked up, and... I don't know if I'm dead or alive... I just heard rumors from someone in the palace that he committed suicide in fear of crime..."

Princess Changle took a step back as if hearing a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and it took a long time to cry sadly: "Oh my god!"
