Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 72 Oh, is it?

"What, not here?"

However, it was said that Li Yongchang brought Cheng Jing and the two maids tied up with five flowers, and a group of mighty men came to the Kunning Palace, but when they arrived at the door, they were stopped by the palace maids in charge of Kunning Palace.

Only when I asked, did I know that Concubine Wu Xian and a few people had already left Kunning Palace with the Queen.

"That's right, the noble concubine just now sent someone over, saying that the weather was cold and the little prince was weak, so he had to prepare the charcoal fire early, but the minions of the Salary Secretary were so stubborn that they dared to deduct the red charcoal from the Changchun Palace. I only gave silver bone charcoal, so I came to make trouble with the empress."

The maid of Kunning Palace knew Li Yongchang, although she felt a little strange when she saw that he brought so many people here, but she still answered truthfully.

"The Empress originally wanted to take some from the Kunning Palace's case to send her away, but the Concubine Xian said that she had not seen the little prince for a long time, and that there was a surplus of red charcoal in Jingyang Palace, so she sent the servant back. From Jingyang Palace, her old man accompanied the Empress and went to Changchun Palace."

Saying that, the palace maid pointed at Cheng Jing, who was being held by two people, and said.

"By the way, it's this servant, why did he come here?"

Li Yongchang had a headache for a while, what the hell is going on!

When this matter is over, he has to clean up the bastards of the salary company. What kind of mess is there at this juncture.

However, he also knew in his heart that this matter was not to blame for the company.

In previous years, it was not until the end of September that the palaces began to raise charcoal fires one after another, but this year, the weather was weird, and it suddenly cooled down.

The Salary Secretary was too late to prepare so many top-quality red charcoal, so he could only pick and choose. First, he would supply the Cining Palace, Kunning Palace, and Jingyang Palace. The other palaces also gave them, but they were very few. Mainly use second-class silver bone charcoal.

In this palace, there is only one noble concubine, the eldest prince's mother concubine Zhou, who has always been self-willed.

Especially these days, rumors have spread inside and outside the palace that the eldest prince is to be made the crown prince, and this one is even more powerful.

Thinking about it, it was because the red charcoal from the Xianxian Company was exhausted, so the silver bone charcoal was given, which made this noble concubine dissatisfied.

It's not a big deal at first, but why is it at this juncture!

Li Yongchang cursed bitterly in his heart, and turned his head to Changchun Palace.

In this palace city, Kunning Palace is the main palace of the Empress, and it is not mentioned in the center, but apart from Kunning Palace, the other palaces are on both sides.

Li Yongchang took the order from the Queen Mother Sun, and went from Zuoshunmen to Cining Palace in the west to order people, crossed most of the palace city to Jingyang Palace in the northeast corner, and after some tossing, turned back to the Kunning Palace in the center. Now we have to go to Changchun Palace in the far west.

The tossing all the way, almost turned the entire palace city, and by the time he brought people to the gate of Changchun Palace, half an hour had passed.

Fortunately, when the Empress Dowager ordered, she only said as soon as possible, not how long it would take, otherwise Li Yongchang would die in a hurry...

The maid who guarded the gate of Changchun Palace usually knew Li Yongchang, the director of Cining Palace.

At this moment, seeing that he was carrying so many people, and there were two tied up inside, they came to this side in a mighty manner, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and asked in confusion.

"I've seen Director Li, who are you?"

Li Yongchang was irritable and didn't care about etiquette, so he said directly: "Concubine Xian is in Changchun Palace. Our family has obeyed the order of the Empress Dowager, and we are looking for Concubine Xian in a hurry!"

The little palace maid was taken aback by Li Yongchang's irritable tone, and quickly said a blessing.

"Yes, the Empress is also there, Director Li will wait for a while, and the slaves will go in and pass the news."

Pressing the unease in his heart, Li Yongchang did not force his way in after all.

This palace has always been bullying the soft and fearing the hard. Concubine Zhou was favored by the emperor, and gave birth to the eldest son, and her temperament was even more willful. She was about to be crowned the prince soon, which made her unhappy and was asking for trouble!
So even if he was impatient in his heart, Li Yongchang honestly waited at the door.

Time passed by a little bit, and the little palace maid passed the message quickly, but this short time of going back and forth still made Li Yongchang feel extraordinarily difficult.

It was hard to see the maid in charge of the Changchun Palace come out, but she heard the other side speak.

"Director Li, the Empress has summoned, please come with the servants, but the little prince is still in the palace, so many people enter, I'm afraid the little prince will be shocked, so these people you brought, I'm afraid they will have to wait outside."

Don't let people take you?

Li Yongchang frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then can we invite the concubine Xian to come out? Our family is in a hurry, and we have obeyed the decree of the empress dowager!"

However, the lady in charge of the palace is not easy to talk. It is said that if there is a master, there must be a servant. Concubine Zhou has a bad temperament, and the people in her palace have always been arrogant.

In addition, today she was ordered to go to the Queen's Palace to ask for red charcoal, but she hasn't brought it back until now, and she was full of anger in her heart.

Originally respecting Li Yongchang's identity and giving him some face, when he heard the words, his face sank and said.

"Director Li, what are you talking about? Concubine Xian is talking with the Empress and Concubine Xian. Since you have something to look for Concubine Xian, just go in, and it is not the Empress Dowager who is here in person. How can there be any reason for the nobles to greet her?"

Li Yongchang was in a hurry for a while, but there was nothing he could do. After all, Changchun Palace was the territory of Concubine Zhou.

Although it is for the empress dowager, there is no guarantee that she will not be hated by Concubine Zhou.

Moreover, if it was only Concubine Zhou, it would be fine. He had the empress dowager's oral edict, and he could bring people in anyway, but there was still the queen concubine inside.

The Queen Mother's oral decree can suppress others, but she can't suppress the Empress!
For a time, Li Yongchang was in a dilemma and had to give way.

"In this case, let's bring a few people in. These two palace maids are members of Jingyang Palace. If they have committed a crime, they should be dealt with. Let's bring a few people and carry these two people in. Is this the head office?"

The maid in charge nodded reluctantly, so Li Yongchang turned around and nodded to a few people.

"You, you, a few of you...carry people into our house!"

Because there are children in Changchun Palace, like Jingyang Palace, a charcoal fire was raised early and it was warm.

Li Yongchang followed the maid in charge of Changchun Palace into the hall, stopped outside the warm pavilion, and told others to wait for the time being.

Then he went in by himself, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Concubine Zhou holding the little prince on the couch, next to Empress Qian, Concubine Wu Xian and Concubine Yun. Several nobles held delicate toys in their hands and surrounded the little prince. Constantly teasing.

"See Empress Empress, Concubine Empress, and the ministers please greet the two Empresses."

Seeing Li Yongchang's respectful salute, Queen Qian hadn't spoken yet, but Concubine Zhou first put the little prince down and said.

"Things that don't have eyes, didn't you see the concubine Xian concubine also?"

But it turned out that when the little palace maid just now came in to report, she only said that Li Yongchang brought a large group of people to Changchun Palace to find Concubine Wu Xian, and said nothing else.

Concubine Wu Xian asked a lot at the time: "How does Director Li look?"

The little palace maid replied truthfully: "It doesn't look good, she is aggressive..."

After hearing this, Concubine Zhou Gui felt displeased.

You must know that as a concubine, she has always been the one who went to Kunning Palace to greet Queen Qian. After a while, Queen Qian came over so that she could show off her Changchun Palace. As a result, Li Yongchang brought so many people to the door before the meeting. To seek trouble is not like slap in the face.

Therefore, Concubine Zhou was naturally not angry with him.

Li Yongchang was stunned for a while, not knowing how he had offended this man, but he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, said.

"Reporting to the two empresses, the ministers are here, and they have seized evidence in Jingyang Palace that some people are colluding with the inside and outside, and they are conspiring to do something wrong. The evidence is all there. The ministers obeyed the empress dowager's decree and temporarily detained the concubine Xian concubine and waited for her old man's return. Ask more carefully."

However, in the face of Li Yongchang's accusation, Concubine Wu Xian did not panic at all, put down the toy in her hand, and glanced at Li Yongchang unintentionally, saying meaningfully.

"Oh, really?"
