Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 203 The blood edict is obtained

Mrs. Wang walked anxiously around the door of the house. When she saw Yuan Wenshao coming in, she said in surprise: "Erlang, you are back."

"Mother-in-law, how long has Hua Lan been in here?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"A while ago, not long after you left, Hua'er suddenly felt abdominal pain, and Po Wen said she was going to give birth." Mrs. Wang said.

"No, I have to go in and take a look."

Yuan Wenshao was worried when he heard this, so he opened the door and went in.

"Erlang, you can't go in, it's unlucky." Mrs. Wang quickly grabbed Yuan Wenshao.

"I…"

Yuan Wenshao wanted to say that he didn't care, but when he thought that he had just gone out and hadn't disinfected anything, he was worried that he would bring bacteria in if he went in, so he had no choice but to give up.

Hearing Hua Lan's screams coming from inside the house, Yuan Wenshao walked around the door irritably.

"Wow~"

Just then, there was a loud cry of a baby.

"It's born, it's born." Mrs. Wang said happily.

"This bastard finally came out."

Yuan Wenshao also showed a smile.

Not long after, the door opened and a woman walked out.

"Congratulations, uncle, the eldest lady has given birth to a little boy." Po Wen said with a smile.

"Are you okay, madam?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"The eldest lady, mother and son are safe, but they were a little exhausted and fell asleep." Po Wen said.

"Whoo~"

Yuan Wenshao finally relaxed after hearing this, exhaled a breath, and said happily: "Those who participated in the delivery will each be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the rest of the family will be rewarded with five taels each."

"Thank you uncle!"

"Thank you, my lord."

Po Wen and the servants all saluted happily.

Yuan Wenshao waved his hand and said, "Can I go in now?"

"The old woman came out to announce the good news to my uncle. We can't go in until the house is packed up." Po Wen said.

"Er Lang, don't be impatient. Just wait for a while. Now you have to hurry up and get someone to prepare the ginseng soup and send it in." Mrs. Wang reminded.

"Yes, yes, are you ready for the spring flower ginseng soup?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"Go back to my lord, I've had someone prepare it a long time ago. It should be ready soon. I'll go to the kitchen to urge you." Chunhua said.

Women are most afraid of running out of strength when giving birth. After all, in ancient times, births were natural.

Families with the conditions will prepare ginseng soup when a woman gives birth, and let her drink some to replenish her energy when her strength is almost exhausted.

However, something happened suddenly, and Hua Lan gave birth a little too quickly, so the baby was born before the ginseng soup was ready.

Before Chunhua walked out of the yard, a maid hurried over carrying ginseng soup.

Yuan Wenshao quickly moved aside to let the maid in.

"Erlang, you just went out to inquire for information. Did you get any useful information?"

Hualan gave birth to a baby, and Mrs. Wang was very happy. Suddenly she remembered that her husband and son were still alive and dead, which dissipated the joy in her heart.

"Mother-in-law, the palace is now very tightly guarded and we can't get any information at all." Yuan Wenshao shook his head.

Mrs. Wang's eyes darkened when she heard this and she almost fell down.

Yuan Wenshao quickly supported her and said, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. My father-in-law and Chang Bai are both civil servants. Even if someone launches a mutiny, they will not attack the civil servants."

"That's what I said, but now there is no news at all, and I really can't feel relieved." Madam Wang cried.

"Mother-in-law, don't worry. I have some acquaintances in the Forbidden Army. I have already dragged them to inquire." Yuan Wenshao had no choice but to lie in order to appease Madam Wang.

At this moment, Zhang An hurried over, leaned into Yuan Wenshao's ear, and whispered: "Master, Second Young Master Gu is here."

Yuan Wenshao narrowed his eyes and said, "Mother-in-law, I have something urgent to deal with, and Hualan would like to trouble you to take care of it."

Mrs. Wang thought Yuan Wenshao was going to inquire about the news, so she quickly said: "Go quickly, I will take care of it. By the way, you haven't informed your in-laws yet, have you? Don't forget to send someone to inform them."

"If my mother-in-law didn't remind me, I would have almost forgotten. I will arrange for someone to notify me right away," Yuan Wenshao said.

Yuan Wenshao took Zhang An out of the courtyard and asked, "Where is he now?"

"I'm in the study room," Zhang An said.

Yuan Wenshao nodded and said: "Inform Liu Quan and Qin Li that they must guard the door. No one in the house can go out without my permission."

"Yes." Zhang An responded.

"Go to Uncle Zhongqin's house and inform my parents that the eldest lady has given birth." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Yes."

Zhang An responded, and seeing that Yuan Wenshao had no other instructions, he bowed and left.

Yuan Wenshao came to the study, opened the door, and saw Gu Tingye walking around anxiously in the room.

"Erlang, you're here, what's going on in Bianjing? Did King Yan take action?" Gu Tingye asked.

"Yes, where is Zhao Zongquan?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"The training envoy of the Zhao regiment was hidden in a Zhuangzi outside the city. We originally wanted to enter the city directly, but we saw that there were many more troops and horses at the gate of the city, and the entry and exit inspections were also very strict. I felt something was wrong, so I let them stay outside the city. Hide and come to the city to find out the news." After Gu Tingye finished speaking, he asked: "What is the situation now?"

"Yesterday was the Queen's fiftieth birthday. All the ladies in the city and the family members of officials of third rank and above went to the palace to celebrate her birthday. But they haven't come out yet, and none of the officials on duty in the palace have come out. There are more guards at the palace gate than usual. Several times, King Yan has taken control of the entire palace." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Then what should we do now? If King Yan forces the officials to write the edict of passing the throne, we will have nothing to do." Gu Tingye said anxiously.

Yuan Wenshao pondered for a while and then asked: "Zhong Huai, your father served as the deputy commander of the Western Suburbs Camp. If you go to the Western Suburbs Camp to find those generals who are good friends with your father, can you persuade them to send troops to serve the king?"

In the original play, when Minglan escaped from the palace, she met the palace maid carrying the blood edict.

But Minglan had not been out for a long time because of the previous incident, and did not go to the imperial city to deliver food to Sheng Hong and the others.

Yuan Wenshao was not sure whether there would be any changes that would cause the palace maid to fail to bring the blood edict out of the palace.

Or maybe the palace maid escaped from the palace and was chased by the imperial army before his people discovered her.

Therefore, Yuan Wenshao could only prepare for the worst.

"impossible!"

When Gu Tingye heard this, he shook his head without thinking and said, "If there is no official edict, even if my father is still alive, it will be useless to go to them personally."

Yuan Wenshao was a little disappointed when he heard this. He remembered that in the original play, Gu Tingyu once told Gu Tingye that the reason why he was able to mobilize the troops in the western suburbs camp was entirely because of the Gu family's prestige in the military over the years.

He originally thought that relying on the prestige of the Gu family, he could persuade some generals in the western suburbs camp to lead troops to serve the king.

Now it seems that we have to get the blood edict.

But think about it, anyway, the official family has no heirs. No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, the status of those generals will not be affected.

If there is a blood edict, some generals in the western suburbs camp may be willing to gamble.

Without a blood edict, no one would be willing to take the risk based on the Gu family's prestige alone.

"Zhong Huai, you go out of the city first, and you must find a way to stabilize Zhao Zongquan. The officials will definitely not be willing to let a rebel king Yan Yan sit on the throne, and they will definitely find a way to send out an edict to make the clans in the world lead troops and serve the king. Although now Yan The king is in control of the palace, but the officials are kind and he has been the emperor for so many years. Naturally, there are many loyal people in the palace who are willing to deliver the edict for your majesty. I will send someone to pay attention to the movements of the palace. If I get the edict, I will go to you. Meet up." Yuan Wenshao said.Zhao Zongquan was timid. When he learned that King Yan had sent someone to assassinate him, his first reaction was to run away.

Yuan Wenshao was really worried that he would be scared away when he learned that King Yan had launched a mutiny.

"Okay, but you have to be quick, otherwise once King Yan gets the edict, he will be in big trouble." Gu Tingye said.

"I know, be careful when you go out of the city." Yuan Wenshao said.

……

As soon as Gu Tingye left, Yuan Weichang and Mrs. Yuan rushed over.

When the two saw Yuan Wenshao, they scolded him.

Yuan Wenshao could only laugh along and led the two of them to the backyard.

In front of Mrs. Wang, the two scolded Yuan Wenshao again. Mrs. Wang helped and said a few nice words before the two stopped scolding.

"My mother-in-law, I just saw the child. He looks exactly like Erlang. Come in and have a look." Mrs. Wang smiled and greeted Mrs. Yuan into the house.

As a father-in-law, Yuan Weichang's daughter-in-law is in confinement, so it's not easy for him to go in.

The child is still young and can't see the wind or be held out. We can only wait for a few days before we can see it.

"Dad, you go to the main hall to drink tea first, and I'll go in and take a look."

Yuan Wenshao has not seen the child yet.

"Well, go ahead." Yuan Weichang nodded.

Yuan Wenshao bowed and walked in.

"Hey, look at these eyes, they look exactly like Erlang's when he was little."

"Look at this kid smiling at me."

As soon as Yuan Wenshao entered the room, he saw Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Wang playing with the children.

Instead of looking at the child, he came to the bedside.

Hua Lan was already awake at this time, her face was rosy and she looked very good.

"Officer."

Hualan smiled when she saw Yuan Wenshao.

Yuan Wenshao sat down by the bed, took Hua Lan's hand and said, "Madam, thank you for your hard work."

"It is my duty to bear children for my husband. Officer, go and see your son. They all say he looks like you." Hua Lan said with a smile.

"What's so good about that brat? When I think of how much he tortured you, I just want to beat him up." Yuan Wenshao said.

Hua Lan rolled her eyes at him and said, "How old is he, what can he know?"

"Then remember it first. When he is older, we will beat him again if he disobeys." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

"Wow~"

The child who was being teased by Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Yuan seemed to sense his father's malice and started crying at the top of his lungs.

"Good boy, don't cry. Are you hungry?" Mrs. Yuan quickly hugged and coaxed her.

"It's not that I'm hungry. The wet nurse just fed me, so I ate a lot. Check to see if it's diarrhea."

The two checked and found that the diaper was still clean. However, the child couldn't be coaxed and kept crying and was a little confused.

In the end, the nanny gave a tactful reminder that the child might be sleepy.

Isn't that right? A newborn baby basically eats, sleeps, and eats. The two of them caught the baby and murmured for a while. It would be weird if he didn't cry.

"Erlang, get out of the way. The child is sleepy. Let him sleep next to his mother." Mrs. Yuan said.

Yuan Wenshao stood up quickly and moved out of the way.

Mrs. Yuan placed the child next to Hua Lan.

Oddly enough, when the child arrived in front of Hua Lan, his crying immediately stopped, he squeaked, and his eyes slowly closed.

"Okay, let's go out first and let the child and Hua Lan sleep for a while." Mrs. Wang whispered.

Yuan Wenshao glanced at Zou Baba's child and then at Hua Lan.

Hua Lan smiled and nodded.

The three of them quietly left the house. As soon as Yuan Wenshao came out, he saw Zhang An waiting outside the door with an anxious face.

"Mom, mother-in-law, you go and sit in the main hall for a while. I'll be there soon," Yuan Wenshao said.

"Ah."

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Yuan saw that Yuan Wenshao was in trouble, so they nodded and left without asking any questions.

"My lord, the secret guard rescued a palace maid who was being chased by the imperial army." Zhang An whispered.

When Yuan Wenshao heard this, his eyes showed surprise and he asked: "Where are the people?"

"The person is dead, but the secret guard found this on the palace maid."

Zhang An took out a piece of bloody silk from his arms.

Yuan Wenshao took it and unfolded it. Sure enough, it was a blood edict written by an official.

The above content is to establish Yuzhou Tuanlian envoy Zhao Zongquan as the crown prince and order him to lead troops to serve the king.

When the official wrote this blood edict, he never thought that Zhao Zongquan would be able to save him. After all, Yuzhou was hundreds of miles away from Bianjing.

Even if Zhao Zongquan could receive the blood edict, by the time he led his troops to Beijing, King Yan's patience would have been worn out.

The reason why he wrote this bloody edict was that he hoped that someone could lead troops to put down the rebellion when King Yan's foothold was not stable.

Therefore, Zhao Zongquan, who is closest to Bianjing, was chosen instead of other clans.

Yuan Wenshao pondered for a while and then said: "Zhang An, I want to leave the city now, and I will leave it to you at home. All the secret guards in the city are at your disposal. If something goes wrong, protect Madam and Sister Wen and find a place to hide. "

"Uncle, don't worry. Even if I risk my life, I will protect my wife, young lady and young master." Zhang An said firmly.

Yuan Wenshao patted Zhang An on the shoulder and said, "Don't say such depressing words. People must be protected and you must live."

King Yan didn't know that the blood edict had fallen into his hands. With the blood edict, as long as it was delivered to Zhao Zongquan, he could immediately lead troops to put down the rebellion. King Yan had no time to take care of himself and it was impossible to take action against him.

However, Yuan Wenshao still kept Zhang An just in case.

Time is urgent. King Yan will definitely order the city to be sealed off if he knows that the maid who escaped from the palace is carrying a blood edict.

Yuan Wenshao didn't bother to talk to Yuan Weichang, told Zhang An to put on a disguise, and hurried out the door.

In order not to reveal his identity, Yuan Wenshao did not ride Wu Zhui, but changed to an ordinary horse.

Although King Yan has not closed the city at present, many soldiers and horses have been added to each city gate in Bianjing, and inspections in and out of the city are extremely strict.

Yuan Wenshao rode his horse to the south gate, but instead of slowing down, he speeded up.

"Quick, stop him!"

The defenders at the city gate discovered Yuan Wenshao and hurriedly drove away the people at the city gate. There were already soldiers on the other side carrying the Juma that had been put aside.

Before Yuan Wenshao could close his horses, he rushed over with his spear in his hand, sweeping away the soldiers blocking the way, and rushed out of the city, all the way away.
