Shu Blossoms

Chapter 298 The Secret Talk of Xianyang Palace

King Ling sighed and shook his head, "I've been worrying about this for the past two days, and the assassin seems to have disappeared without a trace."

Zheng Wei wondered: "Ever since His Majesty fell ill, the guards in this palace have been much stricter. How could he suddenly get an assassin and get away so easily? Could it be that this person is the one?"

As soon as she was reminded by King Mausoleum, she immediately thought of a possibility, her eyes turned sharp, "You mean that the assassin might have been from the palace?"

"Yes, there is a possibility!" The more King Ling thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and he wanted to call someone to investigate again, but Zheng Wei held him back, "Little uncle, this method can no longer be used, it has been done before. There has been a big search, and now that it is being investigated with great fanfare, people outside may really think that the palace is going to be chaotic."

King Ling thought that this was true, and turned to ask her, "Then what should we do? There can't always be such evil-hearted people hiding in this palace, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days."

"Since we know that that person is from the palace, if he fails to accomplish his task, he will still make some moves. We might as well loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and wait for that person to fall into the trap." Zheng Wei suggested.

"If something goes wrong, wouldn't the prince and the second prince be in danger again?"

King Ling was still a little worried.

"How about I take them out of the palace to stay for a while?" Zheng Wei tentatively asked.

"No, it's even more difficult to guarantee the safety of the prince and the others outside the palace." King Ling flatly refused, and then seemed to remember another incident, "Such a big incident happened in the palace the day before yesterday, and the empress and concubine Shu both made a fuss about going to the Yanhe Palace Look at the crown prince and the second prince, I stopped them on the grounds of martial law in the palace, which made the two sister-in-laws very angry, please help me coax them."

Zheng Wei shook his head again and again, "Little uncle, please forgive me, the Empress and Concubine Shu probably already knew what happened that day, didn't I throw myself into a trap right now?"

"Just treat it as my little uncle who owes you a favor. If you need my little uncle's place in the future, my little uncle will never refuse."

King Ling bowed to Zheng Wei with a wry smile on his face, it seemed that he had been tormented by the two empresses in the harem for the past two days.

After all, the Son of Heaven only has these two sons, and His Majesty is in poor health, and these two princes are the fate of the Empress and Concubine Shu.

Now that there are assassins in the palace, the crown prince and the second prince are almost in danger, they are not willing to give up easily.

Zheng Wei didn't touch King Ling, he still went to the Empress's palace, and then went to Concubine Shu's palace after about half an hour.

Around noon, Zheng Wei left the harem in a slightly flustered footsteps, and a servant came to report to King Mausoleum, "Princess Danyang had a very ugly face when she left the harem."

"The two sister-in-laws of this king are indeed difficult to deal with, but fortunately, You Wei'er helped me block it." King Ling looked towards the inner hall and sighed, "Brother Huang, wake up quickly! This burden, the past six months have been really tiring!"

It was a coincidence, that night, Emperor Zhou woke up for a while, Gao Han hurriedly ran to wake up King Ling, and King Ling ran over with disheveled hair in his robe and shoes, and knelt on Emperor Zhou's couch Before that, he said happily: "Brother, you can be regarded as awakened. The younger brother is almost unable to hold on."

While talking, he started to cry, Emperor Zhou looked at his slightly pale face with a distressed smile, slowly reached out to stroke his messy hair, and said in a hoarse voice: "Now I know that the emperor is not good. Don't you? Don't worry, although my body is still weak, it's always getting better day by day. You first talk about the affairs of the court and the palace a few days ago, and I will give you an idea."

"The younger brother is still inexperienced, and he didn't handle things properly. Many old officials are still dissatisfied. Fortunately, it is safe to have the prince in charge. It's just that the prince seems to be old and not in good health. He has been on leave for several days. The younger brother himself I'm a little uneasy. Something happened in the palace these two days. There was an assassin walking in the palace. I couldn't find anything after searching for two days. It was the girl Wei'er who came to remind me this morning that the assassin might be the palace. people in the

King Ling was comforted by Emperor Zhou, wiped his tears and told the events of the past few days in detail.

Gao Han brought some clear porridge over, Emperor Zhou drank the porridge slowly, and after listening to King Ling finished his story, he sighed and said, "It's hard for you too, Wang Qing is a cautious person, I know what he's thinking. Go find him, and tell him what I said. Now the court needs him, and the people of Da Zhou also need him. Don’t worry. I believe in his loyalty. As for you, you should ask him for advice when you encounter problems, be humble A little bit." Hearing the words, the King of Mausoleum responded repeatedly, and asked again: "What about the assassin? My brother is worried that the man is coming for the crown prince and the second prince. The two sisters-in-law almost want to tear down my brother these two days. My son blocked it for my younger brother."

"The things in the palace should be handled according to what Wei'er said. If necessary, we can make a bureau to lure the snake out of the hole. You can discuss with Mu Wu about how to handle it. Gao Han will also cooperate with you. I will let Gao Han in the harem later. Go and say it. You can do it boldly. These are small things, and I am not very worried. I am worried about other things in my heart."

"Brother Huang, are you worried about the northern and southern borders?" King Ling guessed what Emperor Zhou was thinking.

"Zhaoyang is going to marry Wei in two months. With the Emperor Wei's love for Danyang and Zhaoyang's dealings with him, there should be no more wars in the next few years. What I am worried about is indeed the southern border. Those barbarians in the land are restless these days, there was news a few days ago that the remnants of the previous dynasty provoked those barbarians to stand on their own feet, I am afraid that something will happen after a long time."

After saying so much in one breath, Emperor Zhou's breathing was a little more difficult, Gao Han quickly fed him warm water, and Emperor Zhou fell asleep again.

King Ling waited for him to fall asleep, then put on his shoes and went back to the side hall. He was thinking about the words of Emperor Zhou over and over in his heart.

In the palace of Princess Zhaoyang in the east of the city, it started to get busy even before dawn.

The eldest princess and Zheng Wei came in to stay with A Wan yesterday afternoon, and this morning they also dressed up early to watch A Wan wash and change clothes.

The Zhou Emperor rectified Awan's name last autumn. From the point of view of the clan, Awan was the daughter of the former crown prince and the concubine of the Zhou Emperor. He wanted to keep her in the palace, but Awan refused, saying that Raised in the city since childhood, she will be confined to the deep palace in the future. I want to be more comfortable before I get married.Emperor Zhou felt indebted, so he complied, and gave the Princess Zhaoyang Mansion in the east of the city to be married to Princess Zhaoyang.

Today, Princess Zhaoyang and Jili, both parents are gone. Emperor Zhou once promised to sit in the high hall with the queen to support Princess Zhaoyang. Now His Majesty is not in good health. Today, the queen can only do the high hall by herself. But in order to support Princess Danyang, he brought the prince and the second prince into the palace to watch the ceremony.

Therefore, Princess Zhaoyang's Mansion is full of people today. For the safety of the nobles in the palace, the Imperial Army has surrounded the Mansion of Princess Zhaoyang impenetrably.

Zheng Wei was originally accompanying Ah Wan, the crown prince and the second prince couldn't sit still and ran to the house to look for her, so she could only help take care of the child again.
