239. Chapter 239 Did Something Happen?
Huangfuchen took care of Mo Rongzhan's wounds, but he still didn't wake up, and Ye Zhen was forcibly taken down by the Queen Mother to rest.
She washed off the blood on her body, changed into a set of clean clothes, and wanted to come to clean the palace. Aunt Cheng brought her a bowl of calming soup. After drinking it for a long time, she felt unable to open her eyes and fell down on the soft couch. I fell asleep in no time.
Aunt Cheng gave her a pitiful look before turning around to talk to the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager is still presiding over the overall situation in the Qianqing Palace, and Murongyi has also been sent back to the prince's office. The matter of the emperor being injured by a tiger has been suppressed today, and no one outside knows about it, but the emperor will definitely not be able to go to the early court tomorrow. , How to find an excuse to declare to the outside world.
"Go and invite Master Xu and Master Liu to enter the palace first." The Queen Mother ordered in a low voice, the emperor's injury should not be hidden from the cabinet, among the cabinet ministers only Xu Xiang and Liu Zongyuan are the most trusted by the emperor, and the injury should be reported to them first ventilation.
Ford responded and left, and now he has to do many things by himself, and others cannot be trusted.
Aunt Cheng came in from the outside and bowed to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, the princess fell asleep after drinking the calming soup, and she is still worried that the emperor wants to come here."
Tang Zhen, who was standing by the side, listened, and lowered his head sadly.
The queen mother sighed, "I'm sorry for that child, she was so frightened and felt that the emperor was injured because of her, she must be in a bad mood, let her rest first, if it weren't for the emperor today...she might have died gone."
"Yes, fortunately the emperor arrived in time to save the young prince and the princess." Aunt Cheng said.
At first, Murongzhan just wanted to find Ye Zhen. How could he let Ye Zhen go hunting with Tang Zhen? After entering the hunting forest, he met Tang Zhen. Tang Zhen found something strange in the forest, which was different from usual. So he and Mo Rongzhan went to find Ye Zhen and the others.
Halfway there, they met Hongying who was injured by an assassin. She was going to come out to inform them. Murong Zhan and the others rushed over immediately and subdued the assassin. Then they saw Murong Yi crying and riding a horse. This is what happened next.
"Jingninghou, today's matter, you must find out. No matter who is behind the instigation, the Ai family must make him pay the price." The queen mother almost lost two sons today, why didn't she hate the people behind her? To the bone.
Tang Zhen bowed his hands and took the order, "Yes, Empress Dowager."
"Go ahead, there is an Ai family here in Qianqing Palace, and no one dares to be presumptuous." The queen mother said to Tang Zhen.
"Empress Dowager, why don't you ask the Marquis of Anyang to enter the palace to escort you?" Tang Zhen asked in a low voice. Since Lu Shuang'er had just been abandoned, Tang Zhen didn't know if the Queen Mother would trust Lu Lingzhi.
The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "If Marquis Anyang is not still recuperating, he should be invited into the palace. Now that his injury is not recovering, let him recuperate with peace of mind."
Tang Zhen knew that the Empress Dowager didn't want Lu Lingzhi to know too much, "I take orders."
"Please Wei You enter the palace to escort you." The Empress Dowager thought for a while before naming a person.
"Wei You?" Tang Zhen was stunned. How could the Queen Mother think of asking Wei You to enter the palace? The Wei family is a loyal supporter of the Huangfu dynasty, if he knew that the emperor was injured, he might cause trouble.
The queen mother smiled lightly, "Since the emperor can let him become the admiral of the nine gates, he obviously trusts him, and the safety of the palace should depend on him."
Tang Zhen fought the world with Murong Zhan from the small soldiers, so he naturally knew the emperor better than anyone else. If he hadn't been very trustworthy, it would have been impossible to hand over such an important position as Admiral of the Nine Gates to Wei You.
"Empress Dowager, that minister will send someone to invite General Wei." Tang Zhen said.
Wei You had been guarding outside the palace for a long time. After receiving the order, he immediately entered the Qianqing Palace to meet the Queen Mother, and quickly tightened the guards on the nine gates of the palace. He also secretly contacted General Meng of the Western Camp, please He is always on call.
Tang Zhen left the palace and returned to the hunting forest again. He still had to find out the truth. This matter was definitely not as simple as an accident.
The queen mother met Xu Xiang and Liu Zongyuan in the imperial study, and told them about the emperor's injury, but she didn't go into too much detail, she just said that they had been plotted against and asked them to try their best to appease the ministers in the court these two days.
Xu Xiang proposed to see the emperor, but was stopped by the queen mother, "...the emperor has just woken up, and it is time to rest. You can go to see the emperor tomorrow."
Now that the queen mother said so, even if Xu Xiang and Liu Zongyuan wanted to know the situation of the emperor, they had to step back first.
Now the highest concubine in the harem is Xu Huiru, the daughter of Xu Xiang. The imperial concubine fell out of favor and was abolished. This is a great opportunity for Concubine Xu Xian. Xu Xiang has already had someone secretly tell her daughter that she must please the emperor even more. If she can be made a queen , that would be even better.
At this time, the harem was still calm, and the news of Murong Zhan's injury had been blocked, and nothing was revealed to the harem.
However, even though it was not revealed, it doesn't mean that no one noticed something strange.
"Concubine Xian, there seems to be something strange in the palace today. I heard that the princess went hunting with the young prince early in the morning, but just now I saw her being led by Aunt Cheng to the Palace of Compassion and Ning in the Royal Garden, and the Queen Mother went there again. Qianqing Palace, I don’t know what happened.”
Xu Huiru's eyes flickered for a moment. She didn't know the news of Ye Zhen's return to the palace, and she didn't know why the queen mother went to the Qianqing Palace. "An Jieyu, you can't spy on the whereabouts of the queen mother."
An Xiuzhen's complexion changed slightly, and she smiled awkwardly, "I just happened to know about it, and I didn't mean to find out about the Queen Mother's whereabouts."
Hu Yue'er who was sitting on the other side just smiled and said nothing, she was just a little nobleman, no matter what happened in the palace, she was not qualified to inquire and intervene, sometimes, silence is golden.
Xu Huiru glanced at An Xiuzhen, "You said something happened, but what did you find out?"
"Where would I go to inquire, but it's just based on hearsay..." An Xiuzhen smiled, "I don't know anything else."
Xu Huiru didn't ask any further questions, and after meeting An Xiuzhen and Hu Yue'er, she called the maid Qianlan over, "Go and take a look quietly, is the princess really back to the palace, and the emperor's... Forget it, the emperor is not allowed to inquire about it." .”
Qian Lan responded and left, returning to Xinhe Palace in less than half an hour.
"As expected, Her Royal Highness is already in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, but the Queen Mother has gone to the Palace of Qianqing." Qian Lan said in a low voice.
Xu Huiru was startled, subconsciously thinking that something happened to the emperor.
"Where's the little prince?" She asked anxiously.
"I have already returned to the prince's office." Qian Lan said.
"You take my waist card and go to send a message to your father. He may know what happened." Xu Huiru's eyes were condensed, and her voice was soft.
