meet again

The prince's body trembled violently, and his eyes went dark.

Zhu Yun quickly supported his father, choking: "Father! Father must hold on!"

The prince's eyes were closed tightly, and tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes.

Empress Dowager Cao's favorite grandson is indeed the King of Han.However, he is also very kind to the rest of the emperor and grandson.The prince lost his mother when he was young, and the Empress Dowager Cao loved him dearly and treated him very well.At the critical juncture of establishing the crown prince, Empress Dowager Cao had no selfishness or bias towards the King of Han, and supported him, the King of Yan, as the East Palace.

Such a royal grandmother is really admirable.

Empress Dowager Cao is a rare longevity person in the royal family.The death of Emperor Long'an was a heavy blow to Empress Dowager Cao.He thought that in the future, he must take good care of the emperor's grandmother, and the emperor's grandmother would gradually get better...

Never imagined that Empress Dowager Cao would die in the turmoil in the palace, at the hands of her niece.

This concubine Cao is simply insane and unworthy of being a human being!

"Father!" Zhu Yun's cry echoed in his ears: "Great-grandmother has already gone. Father must return to the palace immediately to preside over the overall situation."

Yes, right now he has no time to be weak and miserable.

The prince clenched Zhu Yun's arm tightly, stabilized his figure, and slowly opened his red eyes: "I will leave for the palace in isolation. Here, I will leave everything to you!"

Zhu Yun's eyes were red, and he choked with sobs and said: "My son, clean up the mess as soon as possible, and return to the palace as soon as possible."

The prince had no intention of speaking, and immediately ordered to return to Beijing.

All injured people must stay here to heal, rest and recuperate, including Shen You, Shen Jia, Fang Peng and others.There are very few Donggong personal guards who can accompany them.

The prince ordered He Zhenfu to accompany him as guards.In less than an hour, Ten Thousand Jin Yiwei rode on a steed and followed the prince back to Beijing.

The civil servants took a step back and returned to the capital in a carriage.

……

Its daybreak.

The bright sun shone in the East Palace.

Inside and outside the palace gate, there were corpses, blood soaked into the ground, and the smell of blood filled the nostrils, which lingered for a long time.The guard of Donggong, who was seriously injured, was carried down for treatment.Those who were slightly injured helped each other bandage.

Commander Liao was wounded in two places during the fierce battle that night.Especially the injury on the leg, it was really serious, and it was carried down for treatment.

Feng Shaojun smelled the strong smell of blood and felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

The Crown Princess and the Xiaojun Wang Xiaojun are still hiding in the secret room, and the Grandson Concubine Yuan Min is lying on the bed.Right now, only she can make up her mind.No matter what, you have to hold on.

Feng Shaojun took a few deep breaths to calm down the restlessness in his heart.

A personal guard came to report: "Eunuch Feng, the black-clothed dead men who jumped in from the wall were all killed, and there was no movement outside the East Palace Gate. It seems that the imperial forest army in the palace came to rescue and killed these black-clothed men. Finished."

"Now, do you want to open the palace door and see what's going on in the harem?"

From last night until now, the gate of the East Palace has been sealed.So that the news from the harem could not come in.

Feng Shaojun's eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "The gate of the palace will continue to be sealed for the time being. When His Royal Highness returns after hearing the news, the East Palace will open again."

The personal guard hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Outside the palace gate, there have been imperial guards shouting, let us open the door. Some people are shouting, saying that the turmoil in the palace has subsided. However, a big incident happened in the Palace of Compassion Ning. The Empress Dowager has an accident. Already!"

Feng Shaojun was startled, and suddenly looked over: "What's wrong with the Empress Dowager?"

The guard's expression was solemn: "People outside said that the empress dowager was stabbed to death by the imperial concubine. The little one doesn't know the truth!"

Feng Shaojun gasped.

God!

If this thing is true.This Concubine Cao is really ruthless!Empress Dowager Cao has protected Concubine Cao's mother and son for many years, how could Concubine Cao do this?

"Do you want to open the palace gate and go to the Palace of Compassion?" The guard said in a low voice: "There is such a big incident in the harem, we have to see if it is true or not. If something really happened to the empress dowager, the empress dowager must go to the palace for a while." Go to the Palace of Mercy Ning."

As soon as the name of the Crown Princess came into his ears, Feng Shaojun immediately calmed down and quickly made a decision: "You can't open the palace gate. Continue to wait!"

Nine out of ten this bad news is true.It cannot be ruled out that someone deliberately disturbed people's hearts, trying to lure the East Palace to open the palace gate and lure the Crown Princess out.

Her mission is to protect the safety of the crown princess and grandson concubine.Everything else has to be put on the back burner.

Feng Shaojun was resolute and firm, the guards had no choice but to accept orders.

Next, there is a long wait.

The blocked East Palace is like an isolated island in the ocean, no news can come in, and no one can leave the East Palace.During the period, a servant tried to open the back door quietly, but after being caught, he was beheaded on the spot.

This wait is half a day.

Fortunately, there is a small kitchen in the East Palace.At this time, it is impossible to cook delicious food, and it is okay to cook some porridge and make some steamed buns.Good luck not going hungry.

Feng Shaojun inspected around and made sure that the East Palace was safe and sound before going to see Yuan Min.

Yuan Min, who had been lying down overnight and increased for half a day, gradually stabilized his fetal appearance, was helped by the palace servants to sit up, and drank half a bowl of porridge.There was also a tinge of blood on her pale pretty face.

Feng Shaojun stepped in and bowed his hands in salute.

Adversity sees people's hearts.

Yuan Min didn't like Eunuch Feng very much in the past.Now, seeing Eunuch Feng, I just feel at ease and at ease, and said softly, "Eunuch Feng, what's going on outside?"

Feng Shaojun naturally concealed the sad news of Empress Dowager Cao's death, and replied in a low voice: "There is no movement outside the palace gate, so it can be seen that the chaos in the palace has been calmed down, and there is nothing serious."

"There must be a major event in the palace. Someone must have sent a letter to the imperial mausoleum. Presumably, His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Grandson are already on their way back to the capital. Maybe they will be back before dark."

Yuan Min was frightened last night and her fetal gas was moved. In a short period of time, it is not appropriate to have violent emotional ups and downs.Therefore, Feng Shaojun kept the Queen Mother Cao a secret.

Yuan Min's complexion improved a lot when he heard these words, and his brows relaxed.

"Where are the mother concubine and the others?" Yuan Min lowered his voice, "Do you want them to come out?"

Feng Shaojun's eyes flashed: "The slave thinks it's better to wait for a while. When His Highness the Crown Prince returns to the palace, I will invite the Crown Princess and the Xiaojun Wang Xiaojun to leave the secret room."

This is true.

No matter what happened outside, as long as the Crown Princess and her sons and daughters were all right, the East Palace would be stable.

Yuan Min subconsciously touched his protruding belly and sighed secretly.This pregnancy was really not a smooth one.I just hope that this turmoil will pass sooner and I can take good care of my baby...

The only thing to do now is to continue to wait.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to wait.

Two hours later, when the sky was dark, the prince's familiar voice sounded outside the palace gate: "Gu is back!"

The guards guarding the palace gate were so excited that they almost shed tears on the spot, and hurriedly called dozens of guards to come over, and removed the thick boulder behind the palace gate, and then the giant wood against the door latch.

The East Palace finally opened the palace gate.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked in with a cold expression.
