White Hedge Dream

Chapter 286 Movement

Baihua Palace, the palace door is closed.

Princess Jinyu stood in the palace, watching the two chamberlains pressing against the palace door to listen to what was going on outside.

"How's it going?" She asked in a low voice with a frightened expression.

The two chamberlains turned around and said in a trembling voice: "Princess, the noise outside has become quieter."

Before Princess Jinyu could speak, the voice of Shangguan's consort came from the palace: "Go out and have a look! Let me go out and have a look!"

Princess Jinyu turned her head and saw Shangguan's consort sitting in the palace, tightly entangled by two servants.

She went to the palace first and heard that the emperor was still busy. She didn't want to see that Bai Ying, so she simply said that she would go to the palace where she lived in the past and wait for the emperor to finish his work. When he knew she was coming, he would naturally let people come. please.

Unexpectedly!

Before the person who invited her came, she heard the guards outside calling for people to run away, and the maids inside kept crying, saying that the imperial concubine had rebelled and the emperor had been killed.

Princess Jinyu immediately closed the palace door. Shangguan's consort was about to rush out and "want to **** him," but Princess Jinyu ordered the servants here to stop him.

"What are you protecting me for? It's more important to protect your life." She yelled, then sneered, "You're not protecting me, you're protecting that kid!"

Li Yu also received the edict and came today, and he must be at Bai Ying's place at this moment.

Princess Jinyu also understood something. Today’s so-called summons by the emperor must have been done by Bai Ying, in order to catch them all!

What a poisonous woman!

Compared to the Queen, a stupid woman who only quarreled with the Emperor, Bai Ying was really vicious, and Xiao Yingying actually tried to murder the Emperor.

Although I was shocked, angry and angry, I was also scared.

You must not go out at this time. You can decide what to do after the winner is determined.

"Shut up!" Princess Jinyu walked into the palace and scolded Shangguan's consort, "I don't care if you want to die, but don't implicate me."

While she was scolding, there was a knock on the closed palace door, and Princess Jinyu was startled.

"Princess, princess, it's me."

There was a trembling sound outside.

The two waiters who were leaning against the door reacted and shouted happily: "It's Chengan."

Cheng'an was the chamberlain who guided Princess Jinyu. When there was a commotion outside, Princess Jinyu forced her out to inquire about the situation. He originally thought he was dead outside, but he came back alive.

After repeated confirmation, Princess Jinyu asked the people to be let in. The servant hat ran away, panting and looking very embarrassed, but intact and uninjured.

"Princess, it's okay." He said with an excited expression, "The imperial concubine has been executed, the Ten Thousand Cavalry Battalion has arrived, the imperial city has been under martial law, and all the courtiers have entered the palace."

Princess Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief. When she wanted to say something, someone behind her spoke first.

"How is King Chu?"

Princess Jinyu turned around and glared at him angrily: "You only have that **** in your heart!" After saying that, she looked at the chamberlain and asked, "How is your Majesty?"

The chamberlain swallowed: "Everything should be fine." He explained hurriedly, "The palace is under martial law and no one is allowed to wander around. The servants are not allowed to get close to the Hanliang Palace."

So, we still don’t know whether the emperor is alive or dead?

Princess Jinyu looked outside the palace.

A knock on the door came from outside the closed door. It was almost noon, and the sound and the hot sunlight penetrated the cracks in the door.

"Ancestor, Ancestor, something happened in the palace."

After hearing this, Zhou Jingyun still stared at Xuan Yangzi, his eyes not moving at all.

Xuan Yangzi looked past him towards the door: "What's wrong?"

The door was pushed open, and the dazzling sunlight did not come in. It was blocked by seven or eight people.

Two Taoist priests, two chamberlains, and two officials poured in together, making the small room even more crowded.

"Ancestor, Concubine Bai is plotting rebellion and poisoning Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please come over quickly."

"Concubine Bai's little prince is fake—"

The two chamberlains were talking incoherently and crying.

The two officials sighed and looked sad.

Poison His Majesty? Zhou Jingyun looked slightly shocked. He had already known that the little prince was a fake. What Bai Li arranged was to reverse the situation when Bai Ying asked Guo Shun to slander the King of Chu and his wife for treason, and expose everything Bai Ying had done.

But I didn't expect Bai Ying to poison the emperor.

He immediately guessed why Bai Ying did this. Obviously, Bai Ying not only relied on Guo Shun's accusation and evidence, but simply got rid of the emperor and framed it for King Chu. Moreover, when something happened to the emperor, she supported the young prince to ascend the throne, and then she No one can threaten her.

"Is everything okay in the palace?"

Before Xuanyangzi could speak, Zhou Jingyun asked urgently.

The two chamberlains were interrupted, and they seemed to have just noticed someone else in the room, and recognized it as Zhou Jingyun.

But at this time, he didn't bother to ask why Zhou Jingyun was here.

"Fortunately, King Chu was here and interrupted Concubine Bai's conspiracy in time. Concubine Bai has committed suicide."

"But His Majesty is in danger of being poisoned. Ancestor, please come over quickly—"

They did not drive Zhou Jingyun out, but answered his words, and then said to Xuanyangzi in tears.

Concubine Bai is dead, which means that Bai Li and the others are fine. Zhou Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief and heard Xuanyangzi speak: "Are all the imperial doctors here?"

The chamberlains nodded: "The imperial doctor was called in time, and everyone in the imperial hospital has passed."

Xuanyangzi asked again: "Have all the court officials heard the news?"

The two officials nodded: "The court meeting had just ended when the incident occurred, and Prime Minister Lu Zuo came out in time to convene the meeting, and everyone passed."

Xuanyangzi nodded: "Then I don't have to go there. I don't have medical skills and can't detoxify. I'm not a court official and I can't stabilize the court."

The servants and court officials were stunned and said hurriedly: "Ancestor, your Majesty, something big has happened to him—"

Xuanyangzi interrupted them: "This is not a big deal. The fight between Concubine Bai and Your Majesty is just like the fight between the late Emperor and the Crown Prince. Husband and wife, father and son are all family affairs. Our Holy Ancestors do not care about family affairs or the world of mortals." affairs.”

An official became anxious: "How can this be a family matter? This is Concubine Bai's attempt to usurp the throne."

Another official also said anxiously: "When Empress Chiang usurped the throne and King Changyang corrected the chaos, didn't you also go?"

Xuanyangzi shook his head: "That's different. At that time, the late emperor was deeply confused and wanted to give the Li family's empire to others. I accepted the agreement between Gaozu and the Holy Ancestor to break the confusion of the late emperor and protect the Li family's empire. So when King Changyang is forcing the palace, go and help him."

An official couldn't help but correct him: "Your Majesty, that shouldn't be about forcing the palace. It's about bringing things back to order—"

The word "forced uterus" is not a good word, and it would be unseemly to leave it in the history books.

Xuanyangzi looked at the official and asked: "Did the late emperor want to abdicate at that time? Did he make King Changyang the crown prince in advance?"

This, of course, was not the case. King Changyang was still demoted at that time, and he secretly came to Beijing to discuss the rules. It was indeed true. The officials looked ugly, and Nuonuo did not dare to mention it again after several times. "The White Concubine had the intention to seize power, but Your Majesty was deceived and did not give up the Li family's ambition. The courtiers also supported Your Majesty wholeheartedly, so the court and the Li family are stable." Xuanyangzi continued, "No need to panic."

That's right, it's true, the two officials thought thoughtfully.

Seeing that they were silent, a chamberlain kowtowed and begged: "But your Majesty is in critical condition now -"

Xuanyangzi said calmly: "I have told you that your Majesty is in critical condition. There are imperial doctors and courtiers here, so it is useless for me to go."

The waiter wanted to say something else, but Xuanyangzi waved his hand and said, "I will go when you need me to go."

Seeing Xuanyangzi waving his hands, the Taoist priests who led them in stretched out their hands and said, "Please come back."

The officials and chamberlains had no choice but to stand up and retreat.

"That's all, after all these years, it's been hard to hire Xuanyangzi."

"Yes, when the late emperor ignored government affairs, indulged Empress Chiang Kai-shek, and even killed father and son, he didn't care."

"However, when Empress Chiang was about to ascend the throne as emperor, he entered the palace in time to subdue the late emperor."

". If you put it this way, it is a good thing that Xuanyangzi does not enter the palace. It means that the matter is not serious."

"Bai Ying is dead, and the identity of the fake prince has been exposed. It will indeed not endanger the stability of the court."

Accompanied by low murmurs, the chaotic footsteps faded away, and silence returned outside the door.

Zhou Jingyun looked back at Xuanyangzi and asked, "Is the matter over?"

Xuanyangzi yawned: "Otherwise? What do you think will happen, Prince Zhou? Will I stop Concubine Bai from seizing her husband's power, or will I stop Concubine Chu from seeking blood revenge?"

He smiled at this.

"As a monk, how can I take care of this?"

Bai Li didn't alert the imperial bell this time in the palace? Zhou Jingyun thought, this is a matter between Emperor Bai and his wife, a family feud between Bai Ying and Bai Li, and a matter between people.

Empress Chiang did not appear.

There was no need to alarm the Imperial Bell, which could pose a threat to the Li family, and there was no need for Xuanyangzi to take action.

Is this the end?

Baili won't be hurt?

"Prince Zhou, I have said before, it is never objects that hurt people." Xuanyangzi's voice sounded, "It is people's obsessions, such as..."

Zhou Jingyun looked at him, slightly nervous: "Like what?"

He knew it wouldn't be that easy. Is she still in danger?

Xuanyangzi looked at him: "For example, you will be injured by obsession."

Was he hurt by obsession? What Zhou Jingyun wanted to say was interrupted by Xuanyangzi.

"I know Prince Zhou doesn't care about himself, but don't you care about your people?" Xuanyangzi said, smiling, "For example, your family."

family? Zhou Jingyun's expression changed. He thought of something, stood up suddenly, turned around and ran outside.

The sun is hot, but the palace is as solemn as an ice cellar.

There were heavy guards outside Hanliang Palace, and officials kept coming in a hurry, but they were all blocked outside the palace.

"Your Majesty—"

"How is your Majesty-"

"I am in charge of the witch—"

Some people cried, some shouted, and some old officials knelt down and kowtowed, but they were quickly stopped by officials coming out of the palace.

"Don't make any noise. Your Majesty is reviewing the case with Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Left Prime Minister."

If they can still interrogate the case, that means it's okay. The officials relaxed a little and stood outside the palace, watching the guards carrying out the dead and wounded rebels. Another guard escorted the chambermaids from Hanliang Palace away, wailing. There was a cacophony of shouts, scolds, and cries.

The hall was also busy.

The emperor has been carried back to the main hall, and several officials are busy looking through various documents and books. The side hall on the other side, although Bai Ying's body has been carried away and the soldiers have withdrawn, is still full of people. It's people.

The witnesses brought by Guo Shun before, as well as Bai Ying's personal maids, were detained here. Officials shuttled through to check the incriminating documents and inquire.

The emperor was lying on a soft couch, surrounded by imperial doctors, but he did not rest and was listening to the King of Chu.

In addition to King Chu, his wife and Princess Chu were sitting on their knees with their children in their arms.

The officials in the palace occasionally glanced at her, and later officials had heard from the officials present that Princess Chu turned out to be Concubine Bai's sister.

However, compared with Concubine Bai, this woman had a plain face, a quiet temperament, and seemed a little timid. According to the memories of officials present at the time, the Princess of Chu seemed not to exist at the time of the incident.

It was the same at this moment. She was sitting quietly behind King Chu, holding the child in her arms. The child did not cry and fell asleep.

Perhaps this woman was not a threat, and she was not imprisoned in the side hall. She stayed with the King of Chu and stayed with the emperor.

The King of Chu personally guarded His Majesty. After all, he was the one who stopped Concubine Bai's conspiracy this time.

At this time, he was telling His Majesty how he became suspicious of Bai Ying.

"Concubine Bai has known for a long time that her sister Bai Li is still alive, but in order to gain His Majesty's trust, she has been letting Zhang Ze hunt her down and insist on putting her to death."

"A Li believed that his father was innocent and was wrongly accused. He always wanted to clear his name and came to the capital regardless of the danger. Chen'er had the good fortune to get to know her. When he learned the reason, he also found the matter strange, so he kept helping to investigate."

"I didn't expect that after checking again and again, I found something wrong with Bai Ying and Zhang Ze."

When he said this, several officials came from the side hall with guilt letters and reported the latest progress: "Your Majesty, many cases in the Board of Supervisors are organized in advance, and then brought to the Majesty for questioning according to Concubine Bai's needs. In addition to the Bai Xun case, the same is true for the Queen Yang case."

Yang, Queen, heard this, the emperor lying on the couch coughed violently and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The imperial doctors rushed over and hurriedly administered acupuncture.

The officials also gathered around nervously.

"Your Majesty, please take a rest and stop asking questions." Lu Zuo advised urgently, "Your health is important."

The emperor gasped rapidly.

"No, no." He struggled, "I've always liked to be lazy, but I can't be lazy now. I'm afraid it'll be too late, I."

The blood stains on the corners of the emperor's mouth were wiped away by the imperial doctors, but his eyes were red and seemed to be bleeding.

"I will die with my eyes in peace, and I will investigate everything thoroughly!"

"Don't let go of anyone who has deceived me!"

"Everyone who deserves to die must die!"
