Resourceful beauty

Chapter 356 Subduing
"Returning to your mother, Prime Minister Yun said that the king has already made a will, and it is stored under the plaque in the Yiyuan Hall, so there is no need for him to come to the palace."

Responding, the servant was quite out of breath.

With a "bang", the inner hall seemed to overturn the tea bowl.

"What did you say?"

Standing up in disbelief, Queen Zhou stared at the servant sharply, as if he had told a lie.

"Prime Minister Yun said that the king made a will before he came to the palace, and the will is under the plaque in the Hall of Yiyuan."

Trembling, he repeated the words again, the servant didn't even dare to lift his head, for fear of being hurt by Queen Zhou's anger.

After a while, there was no more movement in the hall, the servant raised his eyes and took a look, then crawled out of the main hall.

"The prince's good means..."

Thinking of something, Queen Zhou sat down slowly, turned her head to look at Chu Yuan and said.

"The queen praises..."

He said modestly, but Chu Yuan's face was quite smug, as if this scene was all in his calculations.

"But I don't know, how does the prince plan to resolve this situation?"

Stretching out her hand to smooth out the invisible folds on the skirt, King Zhou asked calmly, as if she was not the one who was anxiously waiting for Minister Gu Ming to come.

Chu Yuan smiled and spread his hands, "The current situation is unclear, we will have to wait and see. Perhaps, the father will wake up tomorrow. How can I say that the world is still owned by the father, although he alone manages the government, But it's not good to be arbitrary, so it's better for the queen to wait and see what happens."

Queen Zhou's heart suddenly became tense for no reason.

Even she herself thought that King Yao would not be able to wake up this time, so she confidently sent someone to order several Gu Ming ministers to come and witness.

Although his own deployment has his feet to follow, but in such a critical situation, no one will notice it. If King Yong ascends the throne, everything is done. Even if some people have doubts in their hearts, they dare not announce it. .

Who would have imagined that the king had actually made a will in advance.

Is there early prevention?Or is this a conspiracy by Chu Yuan?
Suspicious in her heart, Queen Zhou glanced back and forth across Chu Yuan's face, but seeing Chu Yuan's magnanimous expression with a heart like the bright moon, Queen Zhou became more and more uncertain.

"King Rui led the troops to attack, but King Yong took strict precautions to keep Shangyang City safe and sound. I hope the crown prince can distinguish right from wrong, so as not to wrong a good person. As for the edict..."

Said in a deep voice, Queen Zhou raised her eyes to look at Chu Yuan, "Since the crown prince's words are here, I will wait and see, and wait for the king to wake up before talking about it."

Chu Yuan nodded and smiled, Queen Zhou got up and entered the inner hall without looking back.

Sitting alone in the hall for a long time, until the sound of fighting outside gradually subsided, Chu Yuan got up and left Qixiang Palace.

Looking up at the scorching sun above his head, imagining Fang Ruxuan's anxiety in the palace at this moment, Chu Yuan's face was momentarily absent-minded.

Xuan'er, hold on for a while, just for a while...

Silently thinking in his heart, Chu Yuan strode out.

In Shouchang Palace, Empress Dowager Lou held back her anger, looked back at Han Guifei and said, "Are you going to confine Aijia?"

"The concubine dare not..."

Said softly, Concubine Han remained calm as always, as if the news from outside was not enough to make her panic, "The concubine is also for the safety of the queen mother. Let me ask, if the rebels invade the palace, the safety of the queen mother will be used as a security measure." Threat, when the time comes, how will the concubine choose?"

Concubine Han said with a bright face, "The king and the prince are not in the palace, and the queen has handed over all the affairs of the six palaces to the concubines, and the concubines must do their duty. If you insist on going your own way, what will happen then?" , how will the concubine explain to the king?"

"Rebels? The Ai family doesn't know when rebels appeared in the country."

Automatically ignoring the important points in Concubine Han Gui's words, Empress Dowager Lou asked with a sneer.

Concubine Han Guifei glanced at Princess Rui with lowered eyebrows, then looked directly at Queen Mother Lou and said, "Whoever has evil intentions is naturally a rebel."

I originally thought that if Concubine Han Guifei mentioned King Yong or King Rui, she would be unable to step down in court, but who knew that she was so cunning that no one could find her fault, and the Empress Dowager Lou was a little depressed for a while.

In an instant, the Empress Dowager Lou said sarcastically: "The king will hand over all the affairs of the court to the crown prince, but what has the crown prince done? Now that he is in crisis, it is fine if he is not in the palace to stabilize the court situation, but there is no one in sight." It's gone, if the king... If the king has something good or bad, can he be worthy of the ancestors?"

"People are doing it, and the sky is watching. The concubine will remember the empress dowager's concern for the prince, and one day she will repay the empress dowager. As for the rest, let's wait and see. What do you think, empress dowager?"

The words were soft, but pierced like a knife. After Han Guifei finished speaking, she got up and walked out of the main hall Shi Shiran. I wish I could do anything to her.

"There is still no news from the palace?"

Walking in the nursery at the gate of Shouchang Palace, after a while, I ran into Fang Ruxuan who rushed over from the gate tower. Concubine Han asked softly. Seeing Fang Ruxuan shook her head, Concubine Han persuaded softly: "Since the prince is doing this, there must be a reason for him, so don't think wildly."

Fang Ruxuan nodded meekly.

The two talked for a while, and when they heard that Concubine Yong was clamoring to see her two daughters again, Concubine Han's expression darkened, she turned around and entered Shouchang Palace, Fang Ruxuan hurriedly followed her up.

When Concubine Yong entered the palace, she probably did not expect Concubine Han Gui and Fang Ruxuan to be more difficult to deal with than she imagined. These days, they were trapped in Shouchang Palace as if they were imprisoned. The news outside was true, but the news inside But she couldn't convey a single word, Princess Yong was already extremely anxious.

Coupled with the fact that a pair of daughters were also taken away, Princess Yong felt that her whole body was shrouded in a layer of panic.

However, facing Concubine Han's noble, glamorous and gloomy face, Concubine Yong couldn't say a word at once, and hurriedly sat back in her seat, only praying in a low voice that she could see her daughter.

"Miss Yong Wang's mansion, there are nurturing mothers and maidservants around, so it's possible to wrong them? Concubine Yong, take it easy..."

As she spoke in a deep voice, she saw Sangshen come in with a flustered expression and went straight to Fang Ruxuan. There was a hint of impatience in Concubine Han's tone.

Sure enough, Fang Ruxuan's expression changed immediately after hearing what Sangsan said.

"what happened?"

Concubine Han Gui turned around and asked Fang Ruxuan.

After hesitating for a while, Fang Ruxuan shook her head, "Concubine Mu, I have something to do with the East Palace, I'll go back first."

Knowing that there are a lot of people here, Fang Ruxuan is inconvenient to say, Han Guifei nodded, watching Fang Ruxuan leave, she couldn't help but secretly guessed.

On the side, a faint smile appeared in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Lou.

Hurrying back to Xuanyi Palace with the wind under her feet, she saw Xinlan and Luwu holding Brother Ming and Mingzhu, while Hu Moyan and the two nurses stared at them regretfully.

Hearing that Fang Ruxuan was coming, Xinlan and Luwu looked at each other, and they stood back to back.

"What are you going to do?"

Asked in a cold voice, Fang Ruxuan stopped walking when she saw Xinlan put her arms around Mingzhu's neck.

"The crown princess is worrying too much. The concubine and the concubine have good intentions. They just want to take care of the little prince and princess for the crown princess. I hope the crown princess will not misunderstand us."

Xin Lan spoke, looking down at the pearl in her arms from time to time, her face was full of tenderness, people who didn't know would think she was telling the truth.

But only Fang Ruxuan knew that there was probably something wrong with the precautions these days, otherwise, how could Xinlan and Luwu enter Xuanyi Hall smoothly?
However, this is not the time to pursue the matter after all, the key is to ensure the safety of the two children.

"Whatever you want, just say it bluntly, I will consider it."

There seemed to be a tight string in her heart, Fang Ruxuan asked calmly, but Xin Lan shook her head, "Prince Princess, don't need to be nervous, we have no intention of hurting them. However, please give us a way." .”

As they spoke, Xinlan and Luwu moved their feet lightly, and slowly walked towards Fang Ruxuan.

Knowing that they wanted to hold the two children out of the East Palace, Fang Ruxuan's heart turned quickly, but Xin Lan's hands were tightly clasped around Mingzhu's neck, and she could vaguely see her daughter turning her head in discomfort. In a mess, he hurriedly moved out of the way.

Xinlan and Luwu leaned back against each other and walked slowly past with vigilant eyes, and finally, they left Xuanyi Palace.

When they got down the steps, Xinlan and Luwu saw Fang Ruxuan and the others standing at the gate of Xuanyi Hall and did not dare to follow up. They felt relieved, almost instantly, Kapok and Mulberry shot at the same time, Fang Ruxuan didn't even see what happened. What, Xinlan had already fallen to the ground, and the swaddling baby in her arms fell into Mu Mian's arms in an instant.

"Lvwu run, hurry up..."

As soon as her arms were loosened, Xinlan knew what had happened, and without caring about herself, Xinlan turned her head and shouted at Luwu.

Brother Ming is the prince after all, it doesn't matter if he loses the pearl, as long as he can handle Brother Ming, Fang Ruxuan will not be afraid of not submitting.

Xinlan's calculation was good, unexpectedly, Luwu was already stunned by what happened in front of her eyes, and before she could move, the dagger in Sangsan's hand was already lying on Luwu's neck.

On the side, Nurse Chen stepped forward and pulled Brother Ming away from Luwu's arms.

"what……"

The unexpected cry sounded, and Luwu squatted down covering her ears with one hand, and in a split second, blood flowed out from between her fingers.

Looking back, Brother Ming was holding a lake-green gemstone earring in his hand.

With a look of disgust, she took out the earrings from Brother Ming's hand and threw them beside Luwu. Nurse Chen softly told Brother Ming not to look at them, while walking to Fang Ruxuan, she whispered the crime.

"Pull them down and lock them in the firewood room. They are not allowed to eat or drink without my order."

It wasn't until this moment that the anger in Fang Ruxuan's heart broke out.
