Chapter 481 It's Not That Simple

It is said that Dong Rong, who was awakened by Chen Xi and Bai Yi early in the morning, was about to go back to the cage for another sleep, but heard a knock on the door outside.

The rhythm was very urgent, it should be that the dark guard was in a hurry, so she got up quickly, put on her clothes, and ran out.

When she saw the contents of the note in the dark guard's hand, she felt that it was not time to cover up, and she had to go to the palace to report the matter to the empress dowager and the emperor.

Chen Xi, who was discussing how to feed the little bugs, heard her mother's hasty opening of the door, opened the door worriedly and asked what was going on. Dong Rong didn't say so much to her, but just looked at Bai Yi and said, "I have something urgent to enter the palace. , take good care of Chen Xi."

"Yes, princess."

When Bai Yi answered, there was still a slight smile in his eyes.

Chen Xi said to her mother, "Be careful on the road! Let Jia Yi and Yi Ba go with you!"

With an in-depth tour of the palace, she understood her mother's good intentions before, and now she also knows how to protect her mother, but she will never enter the palace again to cause trouble for her mother.

Dong Rong was touched by Yu Chenxi's understanding, but she didn't have time to talk to her too much, so she just nodded and hurried off.

After arriving at the palace, she felt unsure, so she should talk to the empress dowager first, and then decide whether to tell the emperor or not.

So, so early in the morning, before the empress dowager went out, she heard the news that Dong Rong was asking for an audience outside.

Of course it's a big deal, otherwise Dong Rong knew about the Empress Dowager's physical condition and wouldn't bother her so early.

"Let her in quickly!"

When Dong Rong entered the door, she saw Defu and Nanny were there, and said, "Are you as anxious as I am to greet the Empress Dowager this early in the morning?"

Seeing these two people waiting in battle, something must have happened.

But Dong Rong will not interfere with the affairs of the palace, what she is talking about now has a lot to do with Da Qi.

"Queen Dowager, Wangfei, the little one has to go out to deal with some things, so I will leave first."

Seeing Dong Rong enter the door, there was some hesitation, Defu knew that he might not be suitable, so he threatened to leave.

Dong Rong did not comment.

The nanny also claimed that something was wrong and left immediately.

The other irrelevant people were also taken away by the nanny, and only Dong Rong and the empress dowager were left in the empty hall.

"Tell me, Rong'er, but what happened?"

It is rare to see Dong Rong so serious, coming to find herself early in the morning, the empress dowager can't guess what's going on, could it be that something happened to Chen Xi?I just feel tight in my heart.

"Queen! Something happened!"

Dong Rong stepped forward, speaking in a low voice, be careful not to have ears on the wall.

"Don't I have a few canneries on the frontier?"

Every source of information about Dong Rong comes from her canning shop.But today's news is not something that ordinary canners can get.

"I heard from the people in my shop that recently someone from the border has transported a large number of large pearls, which are very crystal clear. Everyone is very envious, because they are transported to the grassland, and everyone thinks that the grassland people are too rich. But who knew that there were Gu worms hidden in this big pearl! Moreover, it is said that there are many such big pearls in General Wang's mansion! If these Gu worms come out, in severe cases, they can even swallow countless troops! And , I heard that the transporters of these pearls specially arranged for people to live in the general’s mansion, in order to find an opportunity to poison the general! Either kill him, or let him serve other people!”

What Dong Rong said was also quite confusing. After all, the news was too tight, so she had to translate it into her own language and speak clearly.

But at that time, she replied a letter to Murong Huaide, telling him to take good care of himself and his two children, everything in the family cannot be separated from them, there really can't be any mistakes.

"What did you say?! Gu worm!"

"But what we talked about earlier?"

The empress dowager has seen countless people and knows a lot of knowledge, including Gu insects.She knew that Dong Rong was definitely not scaremongering, and the harm of these Gu insects was sure to have such a big effect.

"Do you think General Wang was framed?"

The Empress Dowager was referring to the large number of pearls on the border.

"It is said to be so! Moreover, General Wang knows nothing about this matter. He seems to have been poisoned by a long-term poison, and he has not found out what it is yet."

Dong Rong wanted to say several times that Murong Huaide is actually there, so everything is true. Empress Dowager, you must have a contingency plan for this matter, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

But the truth is, she can't say that.

But the smart empress dowager didn't know Dong Rong's thoughts. She knew that these confidential news could not be resolved through a small tin can shop, so she asked Dong Rong very seriously, "Aijia believes you. Everything, but I remember that your child is still on the grassland, nothing will happen, right?"

I am afraid that this news cannot be investigated by a simple can shop, right?
"Rong'er knows that everything can't be hidden from your eyes. Indeed, those two children are in the grassland. The faction struggles in the grassland have been fierce recently, and Dongfang Qiu and Batu don't know where they learned the method of poisoning. It's causing people to panic now, because we have nothing to do with Gu worms. The child also heard that there may be Gu worms passing by the border, so he went to General Wang's house to find out the situation. Who knew that after he went, he found out These things."

Dong Rong briefly brought it up, but the Empress Dowager has begun to pay attention to it. She knows that this matter is definitely more serious than what Dong Rong said.

"How is General Wang's health now?"

Now that the news is confirmed, what needs to be done is to see if General Wang can resist all this.

"He is in a trance, awake for a while, and confused for a while. It is said that there is a little girl beside him who can poison him anytime and anywhere."

Today's letter is very long, and it describes the situation of General Wang in detail, but Dong Rong knows that she can't tell the Queen Mother everything, and can only tell the Queen Mother little by little after the Queen Mother has confirmed her trust. listen to her.

"Little girl? Is there a little girl beside him?"

The empress dowager suddenly remembered the matter of Linglong just now. If she remembered correctly, when the emperor first faced Linglong, he seemed to be not calm at times.

Could it be that this Linglong was sent by that group of forces?
The whole scene became chaotic again. The empress dowager felt that Daqi seemed to have been completely controlled by others. At present, the most important emperor and the border generals had all encountered such problems.

The country is in danger and is at stake.

A thought even flashed in her mind, would the birthday banquet she agreed upon become an opportunity for others to attack Daqi?

If everyone brings a lot of people to celebrate her birthday under the name of celebrating her birthday, there is no reason for them to stop, right?

Things are really getting more and more troublesome.

You have to tell the emperor.

After simply smoothing out the current situation, the Empress Dowager briefly told Dong Rong about Linglong.

Dong Rong was dumbfounded when he heard this.

"Although General Wang said that he has a stubborn personality and occasionally speaks harshly, he has made a lot of contributions to the country by being able to guard the frontier. Moreover, he has always been clean and honest, and there is no lecherous news. But recently Years, I heard it is not very good. Could it be that he has been targeted for a long time?"

You must know that General Wang was the representative of loyal ministers when the first emperor was alive.

Now that the emperor is changed, he not only disrespects him, but also commits outrageous things repeatedly.

Could it be that there is indeed a group of evil forces around him, who arranged this game of chess so early?

Just wait for Daqi, and things will happen slowly?

After listening to Dong Rong's analysis, the empress dowager even quickened her pace, but when she was about to go out, she heard someone report from outside.

The emperor is here!

So early in the morning, the emperor came to pay his respects?Still have something to report?
Now that people are here, there is no need to make another trip by yourself. The Empress Dowager returned to the main hall. Seeing that Dong Rong's story was almost finished, the nanny prepared some breakfast for the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager put it on. He waved his hand and said, "I don't have time, I'll eat later."

She also doesn't have much appetite, so from this point of view, Da Qi is really in danger.

"Emperor, why are you here so early? Is the morning court over?"

The empress dowager looked at the emperor's flustered expression and asked.

"Yes, Queen Mother."

The emperor returned.

"Have you ever had any problems?"

"No, except for the slow delivery of General Wang's news, there is nothing going on in and outside Daqi. It's just that when the emperor was in court just now, he saw a eunuch hurriedly looking for Defu, and the emperor shouted He asked, what's the matter. He told me that the Empress Dowager asked him to investigate the matter of General Wang. The situation is true. It is true that Linglong had already met General Wang before she came to the emperor's palace? What is the situation? Could it be that you have something to hide from me?"

The emperor naturally had no objection to the empress dowager, but although the eunuch spoke hesitantly, as a man, he could hear clearly.

The so-called relationship between Linglong and General Wang is definitely not a simple relationship between a maid and a master.

So, how could the emperor accept such a fact?
But if he didn't accept it, he couldn't get angry with the eunuch, so he could only come to this educated and reasonable mother, and ask her to analyze for himself how to solve such distress.

Seeing the angry expression on the emperor's face, Dong Rong was also speechless.

I'm afraid this matter has really hurt the pride of the emperor.

But then again, Linglong was chosen by the emperor himself.

But the Empress Dowager didn't seem to think so.

"When you first met Linglong, did anything strange happen?"

If everything is as he guessed, then this force must have secretly inserted around the emperor.This Linglong should be a person who stays in the bright place, I don't know who is the person who stays in the dark place.

"Nothing seems to be happening."

The emperor thought about it carefully, and felt that it was nothing.

"However, I seem to remember that I smelled a particularly pleasant scent of flowers at that time, and I found Linglong for that scent."
