Ban Fang

Chapter 880 Hostage
There was a strange atmosphere in Qifeng Pavilion. Mr. Anyang paced back and forth anxiously in the hall. Empress Dowager Cao, who had a chance to win, had a flash of worry in her eyes. She never expected that the emperor would come back at this time.

"Don't go anymore." Empress Dowager Cao held her aching forehead, closed her eyes and thought about what to do next. She thought she was safe, but something went wrong at this moment...

Commander Jiang of the Forbidden Army came to ask to see him from the inner prison outside the hall, and if he didn't want to see him again, he saw him again. After kowtowing and saluting, he immediately knelt down on the ground and apologized in fear.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Majesty rested at the Yuanjing Pavilion, and my subordinates have no chance..."

"Seal the palace!" Hearing this and having no chance to act, Duke Anyang suddenly turned around, knelt down and shouted angrily in front of the commander, "No one outside the palace knows that the emperor is back. As the commander of the imperial army, everything is naturally up to you. The Jing Pavilion is sealed off, and no one can take a step, so that no one will know the news of the emperor."

As soon as Mr. Anyang said this, the atmosphere in the hall was stagnant, and no one dared to speak out. Even the Empress Dowager Cao glared at the words, and she didn't get approval, so she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't do this. It's unlucky to wait for the Holy Majesty to recover." It's us."

They have even finished tailoring the little emperor's dragon robe, if they call to stop at this time, how will the Holy One deal with them?In any case, the relationship between him and the emperor was deep. If the emperor hadn't changed, it should be the position of his head.

After all, the emperor would not kill his mother, but it will be different when it comes to him. The two of them are just nephews and uncles. If they could ignore him before, how could they give him a way out after this incident?
"Your Majesty came back alone?" Empress Dowager Cao naturally understood these considerations, but when her son came back, he hugged the little prince and placed him there. It was really not like his fiery temper, so he couldn't help but hesitate.

"There are only three people entering the palace." Commander Jiang glanced at his cousin next to him meaningfully. Although he really wanted to get promoted and get rich, he didn't dare to sell his head to others!
If this matter fails, it will be a serious crime that will implicate the nine clans. Can he gamble with the lives of the whole clan?Although the glory of Conglong Zhigong was originally obtained by betting on fate, at this moment the emperor is in his palace, planning to open his eyes and talk nonsense?

Hearing the number of people, Empress Dowager Cao had a thought, and she glanced at the man kneeling on the ground, knowing that the only chance was in front of her eyes!

She closed her eyes tightly and remained silent, then raised her eyes and said ruthlessly, "Seal the palace, bring the prince to me. Since the emperor knew that he was worried about alarming me and walked out of the north palace gate, then let me completely let you down." He is silent, and no one is allowed to spread the news of today's events."

As soon as the queen mother spoke, Duke Anyang received the order with joy in his eyes, and kicked Commander Jiang quickly when he saw that Commander Jiang still had no response.

Commander Jiang looked back with embarrassment, really rebelling?So far, I can't help but wonder what kind of person he is conspiring with?

Although he comforted him from time to time, everything was carried by the Queen Mother, but when it came time to lose his head, would the Queen Mother still carry it?His head is still hanging on his neck to feel at ease... In fact, his worry is not unreasonable, and he knows in his heart which one will die sooner, the mother and the son or the relatives!

He frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but in front of the Queen Mother, there was no reason to back down. After all, he was the one who proposed to win over the Queen Mother. Phoenix Court...

I can only comfort myself, anyway, it’s just locking up the emperor, and it’s not about killing him. If you really want to convict, you can come out and talk about it, and once it’s the end they want, there’s still the question of whether to convict or not ?

Therefore, Commander Jiang left with the order full of joy, mobilized hundreds of elite soldiers according to the Queen Mother's orders, and surrounded the Xianjing Pavilion three times inside and three times outside.

The movement outside the hall was so loud that Emperor Gong Shun woke up. He knew that the one who should come was still here. He caressed his son, who was restless in sleep, and was sitting on the dragon couch in a bright yellow coat, facing the commander Jiang who forcibly broke in. Looking at each other.

With a glance, he happened to catch a glimpse of Commander Jiang's pupils shrinking slightly in panic, and his tightly knit brows could not help but loosen, and he was glad that his prestige was still there!

meet him.Seeing this, Commander Jiang couldn't help becoming vigilant, tried his best to restrain the fear in his heart, pretended that everything was normal, bowed on one knee and said: "My Majesty, there are criminals who broke into the palace at nightfall. Guarded by soldiers."

"Oh..." Emperor Gongshun comforted the child in his arms, his eyes were full of calmness, and he asked softly, "Then why did Commander Jiang trespass into the bedroom?"

He also knew about his uncle's distant cousin, but he didn't expect that when he traveled far away, the queen mother even promoted him to guard the palace, and the star guards related to him were almost eradicated.

The queen mother's ambition is so great that even he can't tolerate it?

I thought everything was going well so far, it was because she wanted to preserve her last face, but she never thought that she was going to arrange how to do something to him...

"My Majesty, everything is the fault of this humble official. I ran into trouble when I was in charge of the palace for the first time. I didn't think carefully and disturbed the holy car for a while. It's just that the empress is worried about the safety of the prince. She sent a subordinate to pick up your highness so as not to disturb the holy car. peaceful."

How should I put it, Commander Jiang knew it well. After all, it was still unknown whether the emperor would change or not. He still had to leave a way out. He couldn't offend the emperor to death at this moment.

"Really?" After finishing speaking, Emperor Gong Shun lowered his head and caressed the child's tender face without saying a word, and had no intention of handing over the child.

Is the queen mother afraid that he will take his son as a hostage, or that he is afraid of what he has said to the child?
Thinking of this, Emperor Gongshun laughed at himself helplessly. It seemed that it was very far away for him to enter the palace from time to time to ask for rewards from his mother many years ago.

Commander Jiang meant that even if he had returned to Chu City within the time limit, his mother would still not give him a chance to sit in the court and lead all the officials. His journey as emperor came to an end?

"Your Majesty said, Your Highness has to study with the Taifu tomorrow morning, so don't bother His Majesty to rest." Commander Jiang stood up and moved forward, raising his hands to pick up the sleeping Prince.

Emperor Gongshun looked at the man in front of him with a half-smile, he was neither angry nor angry, it seemed that he bet that the empress mother still cherished him, but thinking about it, he was wrong too much, he couldn't help laughing at himself and said, "It seems that I can't do anything about it is you?"

Commander Jiang was inexplicably startled, and then realized that no matter how reserved what he just said, he could not cover up his overt and covert threats, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Damn my humble minister."

"Okay, let's forget all these false words and etiquette!" The smile on Emperor Gongsun's face gradually faded, and his tone was full of undeniable seriousness, "Take good care of the prince."

He should be thankful that the queen mother still needs a prince, otherwise, if he doesn't even know if he can take care of his own life, what kind of situation will the child end up in?
