Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

For no reason, Xia Dongchun felt a little uneasy in her heart.

He ordered Dr. Wang to report her illness and, according to Xia Lingyun's words, thank the guests behind closed doors.

News came out in Qingyan in Jiuzhou that the emperor was seriously ill, but the Queen Mother issued an order to stop the concubines taking turns to attend to the illness and let the emperor rest.

As Concubine Hui got older, she also postponed palace affairs and raised the baby behind closed doors. Now only Concubine Huang and Concubine Jing were taking care of the palace affairs.

Everyone in the harem was naturally anxious. When they heard that the Empress Dowager had issued an order to stop serving, they all thought it was for the Emperor to rest in peace and recuperate. However, gradually, they even stopped going to visit Qingyan in Jiuzhou.

Only then did everyone realize that there were many new faces in Qingyan in Jiuzhou.

On this day, the sun was fine, and someone knocked on the door that reflected the fragrance of water orchids in the afternoon.

Bai Guo opened the door to check, and it turned out to be a second-class palace maid who looked a little awkward, but Bai Guo recognized that she was someone close to the Queen Mother.

The visitor greeted the visitor first and said politely, "Greetings to my sister, this servant is serving at the Queen Mother's side. The Queen Mother said that the weather is fine today and she has not seen Seventh Brother and Princess Qiongwei for a long time, so she ordered the servant to come and invite them. Brother and the princess went to the Changchun Fairy Pavilion to play, please ask sister to send a message."

Changchun Fairy Hall is the residence of the Queen Mother.

"Sister, you're welcome," Bai Guo said, "It's just that I don't see you often. Why isn't Aunt Zhuxi here today?"

Bai Guo just asked a lot, but he also knew that this question was a bit exaggerated.

"Aunt Zhuxi has other errands to run, so the Queen Mother ordered me to come." The palace maid replied.

"Wait a moment, I'm going to see if the empress has woken up from her nap." Bai Guo felt a little suspicious, so he blocked the person from the door.

It's not that she is arrogant, Xia Dongchun has already told her to be careful in everything in the eventful autumn these days.

Ging Guo quietly entered the bedroom, Xia Dongchun did not take a nap, but closed the curtain and reclined on the imperial concubine's couch with her eyes closed to meditate.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's people have come to invite my brother and the princess. The one who came is not Aunt Zhuxi, but a second-class palace maid who doesn't often go out on errands." Bai Guo whispered.

Xia Dongchun opened her eyes, feeling suspicious in her heart. She didn't often go to the Queen Mother to fulfill her filial piety. There were many brothers and princesses in the harem, so the Queen Mother didn't often notice Hongmin and Qiong Wei.

Not to mention that the emperor is still ill and the harem of the previous dynasty was in a sluggish state. Even in the past, the queen mother rarely thought about her elder brother and princess in Yanxi Palace.

"When you go to reply, tell me that I and Princess Brother have not yet woken up from their nap. They are tired from playing at noon and have fallen into a deeper sleep. Then they will send them off in person after they have finished their nap." Xia Dongchun said after thinking for a moment.

Bai Guo replied unchanged, but the palace maid looked a little embarrassed, but she didn't want to disturb Concubine Chang and Princess Brother's nap, so she left.

Xia Dongchun asked Bai Guo and Yue Shan to go out and go to the residences of Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui respectively to see if they encountered the same situation.

Not long after, Bai Guo and Yueshan came back, and as expected, Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui both went to the Queen Mother's place to pick up Hongluo and Jinghe.

Jinghe is young and sleeps a lot, so he is indeed taking a nap, while Hongruo follows his master to the martial arts field to practice riding and shooting after lunch. This is a rule set by the emperor for him, and he must go there every two days. of.

Concubine Jing heard that the Queen Mother's people also came to Xia Dongchun's place, but they were also rejected by her. She immediately ordered people to go to the martial arts field to pick up Hong Ruo and prepared to close the door to thank the guests.

Concubine Hui was already resting, but she closed the door tighter after receiving the news.

As night fell, Xia Dongchun felt uneasy, always feeling that something would happen today.

Bai Guo came to report that today the Queen Mother summoned all the elder brothers and princesses in the palace to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion. They have not been released until now. Concubine Nian, Concubine Qi, Concubine Chun, Concubine Xin and others were all detained in the Immortal Palace of Changchun. Outside the museum. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the garden, and Xia Dongchun could only faintly hear the sounds of many palace maids and eunuchs running around and crying.

Xia Dongchun hurriedly ordered people to block the door of Yingshui Lanxiang, and asked Meng Shaobo to lead all the eunuchs to find the guy and guard it behind the door.

Climbing up to the attic, Xia Dongchun saw bright torches everywhere outside, and many soldiers in armor, arresting anyone they saw, and killing anyone who resisted fiercely.

Further away, Xia Dongchun looked in the direction of Qingyan in Jiuzhou, where there were also flashes of fire, and soldiers' armors were coming and going with a cold light.

When Xia Dongchun returned to the house, Hongmin and Qiongwei were so frightened that they cowered in the arms of Mo Shuang and Yu Xin. They stepped forward to hug the two children into their arms and coaxed them with gentle voices.

Although she didn't know who was the mastermind of this palace change, looking at the Queen Mother's recent actions, she must be involved.

First, the concubines were stopped from attending to their illnesses, and then everyone in the harem was not allowed to visit the emperor. Today, Princess Ruoyou was summoned to the Changchun Fairy Pavilion.

Xia Dongchun was also scared at this time. She looked at the two children in her arms, and the fear in her heart continued to grow.

It would be fine if she died, but if the thieves succeeded in killing these two children, it would be difficult for her two children to survive.

At this moment, Jiuzhou is clear.

Yunqi led a group of soldiers to break into the emperor's chamber unimpeded.

The dormitory was brightly lit, but no one was seen. Yunqi searched around warily, and the guards formed a circle around him to protect him.

Dozens of cold arrows were suddenly shot from all around, and all the people protecting Yunqi were hit by the arrows and fell to the ground, but in an instant, another group of people surrounded him.

The swords in everyone's hands were used to deal with the cold arrows. When the arrow formation stopped, there were not many soldiers left who followed Yunqi into the dormitory.

At this time, a group of guards suddenly emerged from the dormitory and surrounded everyone in Yunqi.

Yunqi was slightly flustered, but thinking about the large number of people outside the palace and the patrol camp under his control, he felt a little calmer.

A bright yellow figure walked out of the darkness, "Fourteenth brother, long time no see." Although he was a little short of energy, he was not seriously ill as rumored.

"Are you okay?" Yunqi frowned.

Then he raised his voice and said, "Even if the emperor's brother is safe and sound, and my brother went to the Old Summer Palace to serve the king this time under the emperor's order, it is okay that the emperor's brother was killed by an arrow in the chaos."

The emperor was so angry that he laughed, "Fourteenth brother, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so arrogant."

"You have imprisoned me for many years, and today I am attacking the city. Do you still think that you will win this time?"

"Brother, let go. There are all my brother's people outside. If you are willing to give way, you can abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor, and live in this garden forever until you die of old age." Yunqi laughed wildly.

"Even if I lose, you can't defeat the ancestral legislation. I have many sons, so you can only be the regent." The emperor said solemnly.

"It's better than being detained by you in such a desolate place. Even when Eniang wanted to see me, you tried to shirk her and prevented our mother and son from meeting each other. Yinzhen, you ignore human ethics and are not worthy of being an emperor!" Yunzhen said angrily.

"As long as I give the order, people from outside will rush in. Brother Emperor, please think clearly, are you really not allowed to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of your authority?" He sneered.
