Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 289
"Your Majesty has an order, get up and drive back to the palace—" Jin Wuwei galloped back and forth in the big tent under Beidai Mountain to deliver the order.

In the past, the lacquered night was like ink, and the meager moon and stars were bright and beautiful, but they also scattered coldness all over the place.

Many gentlemen and noble ladies got up from the bed in a daze, and before they knew what happened, some servants and maids hurriedly put on clothes for them.

This rushing look is just like a woman giving birth to a baby, who can't wait for half a minute!

Su Wanwan changed her clothes, walked out of the tent, and stopped a Jinwu guard who was passing on the news.

"In the middle of the night, why did the saint suddenly order to return to the palace? But what happened?" She frowned and asked puzzled.

The Jinwu Guard knew some inside information, but it was related to the safety of the Empress Dowager, who would dare to release this news right now?

If you dare to spread rumors about your life, you will have to go to the Meridian Gate with your head held high!

The Jinwu Guard who was stopped by Su Wanwan showed a look of embarrassment.

He touched the helmet, hesitated for a long time and couldn't speak, "This, this."

Su Wanwan saw his embarrassment, but she didn't cling to this matter, "Okay, I won't make things difficult for you! Since I'm returning to the palace late at night, I think something serious must have happened, so hurry up and tell me the news." Get out."

The Jin Wuwei heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly cupped his hands and fists towards Su Wanwan, "Thank you for your compassion, lady!"

Li Qiong's tent was next to Su Wanwan, and it happened that she had put on her clothes and listened to someone talking outside, so she wanted to come out and have a look, "Wanwan, what's going on?"

Su Wanwan approached Li Qiong mysteriously, "Look at how big this battle is, there must be something wrong with the nobleman's tent!"

A well-dressed noble lady quietly walked over from the door of her big tent.

She first glanced around furtively, then lowered her voice and whispered to Su Wanwan and Li Qiong, "My cousin works in the Jinwu Guard, and just told me about a shocking scandal."

Su Wanwan became interested and hurriedly urged her, "Don't be tricky, tell me quickly!"

The noble girl snorted disdainfully, curled her lips, and said in disgust, "I heard that the big tent of the fourth lady and the big tent of the owner of Yingyan County both went into the water. The fourth lady was safe and sound, so she was a little frightened. But Yingyan County Lord, you actually climbed onto the fourth prince's bed infected with Fengtongxiang!"

As soon as the news came out, Li Qiong and Su Wanwan looked a little nervous.

They didn't really want to know whose bed the Princess had climbed into, but when they heard that Siniang's big tent was flooded, they were really frightened into a cold sweat.
"Is my fourth wife okay?" Li Qiongsu didn't like to gossip, but right now she was anxious to inquire about Lu Ziyu's life.

Knowing that Li Qiong and Lu Siniang are sisters-in-law, the noble girl quickly comforted her, "Si Niang is fine, but the princess heard that it was a bit miserable—"

"I also know about this." Another noble lady crowded up to talk about the excitement.

The daughter's family is in a pile, and the rumors spread as fast as wings.

In less than half an hour, the news that Princess Yingyan climbed onto the bed of the fourth prince with forbidden incense spread all over the camp.
When the team returned to Beijing, Li Qiong and Su Wanwan got into Lu Ziyu's carriage.

Firstly, he wanted to see how everyone was doing well, and secondly, he wanted to ask Yingyan carefully what happened!

As soon as he got into the carriage, he saw the girl in the corner shrunk her delicate body into a ball.

Li Qiong hurriedly asked, "Si Niang, did you get burned?"

Lu Ziyu didn't say a word, he buried his head in his arms like an ostrich, and turned a deaf ear to Li Qiong's questioning.

"Why don't you talk?" Su Wanwan glanced at Lu Ziyu worriedly, "But what happened?"

Lu Ziyu raised his face, his eye sockets were red and swollen like rabbits, faintly accompanied by tears.

"Sister-in-law, Wanwan," she called out weakly, then threw herself into the arms of the two of them again, choking and weeping.

If he hadn't abused his tricks, this situation wouldn't have happened!
When everyone carried the old lady into the carriage just now, the benevolent old man's face was as white as paper, and his body was like a grass flower, trembling, it made people feel distressed.

If she hadn't lured people to Yingqi's big tent to catch the adulterers, Yingyan's presumptuous side would not have been revealed when she was bewitched by greed and forbidden incense, and the Queen Mother would not have been so enraged that she fainted.
Now the Empress Dowager's life and death are at stake, to put it bluntly, she is the one who caused it!

Even if it was an unintentional act, she still couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart, and she was even more ashamed to see her father.

That was his imperial grandmother, her life was almost absurdly lost in his hands!
But the person behind the secret plan is at ease, and I am afraid that he will have no regrets in his heart.
In the team returning to Beijing, the front one is in a spacious carriage.

Emperor Zhao's face was gloomy, and his bony and skinny hands were tightly clenched.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is awake and wants to see you!" Nanny Xu stopped Emperor Zhao's carriage with a sad face.

Emperor Zhao ordered the carriage to stop, quickly lifted the curtain and staggered towards the carriage of the old lady.

Jiang Xian wanted to go forward to help, but was pushed away by Emperor Zhao.

Right now, in the eyes of the Eastern King, there is probably nothing more important than his mother.

When parents are alive, there is still a way to go in life; when parents go, there is only a way back in life.
He rushed over in a hurry, and couldn't wait for the eunuch to help him into the carriage, so he propped himself up into the old lady's carriage in a state of embarrassment.

Hearing the sound, the old lady opened her eyes slightly, "Your Majesty is coming."

"Mother!" Emperor Zhao's face moved, and he called softly.

The old queen's eyes were blank, she stared at the roof of the carriage in a daze, "Ai's body can't hold it anymore, I have a few words to tell you."

"The imperial doctor said that the mother's empress is just angry in her heart, and she can just go back to the palace and take care of herself!"

"Do you believe what those old... old things are ambiguous?" The old queen pulled her pale lips slightly.

Emperor Zhao naturally knew that the Imperial Hospital had a set of rhetoric, but he was still willing to think about the benefits.

"Mother, save your energy, you will be in the palace in a while!"

"Your Majesty, you have to listen to Ai's family. Otherwise, even if Ai's eyes are closed, it's not safe to be by the late emperor's side!"

"Mother, please tell me." Emperor Zhao choked up.

"Don't blame Yan'er for the things she did and the outrageous things she said." The old lady's eyes were almost narrowed, panting slightly, "If you want to blame it, blame Aijia for not raising her well! When we see You An in the ground, Ai Jia will talk to him carefully."

Emperor Zhao sighed, not knowing what to say.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty" the old lady groped and grabbed Emperor Zhao's hand, still persistently trying to excuse Yingyan, "Yan'er is not wrong, it's Ai's family who didn't raise her well, blame me, blame me."

The deep-set eyes were covered with a layer of white clouds, like fog and rain, full of grief.

"Aijia does not ask His Majesty to forgive her, but please don't punish her severely and treat her leniently"

"Mother, why are you still acting for her—"

"Your Majesty!" The old lady yelled in a low voice, as if she had exhausted her remaining strength, "Only if you agree to this matter, Aijia... can leave without worries."

The voice of the old lady became weaker and her complexion turned paler.

"Mother, mother." Emperor Zhao grabbed the old queen's hand, which was as dry as withered bark, "I promise, I will answer everything you say!"

"The queen mother is sleepy, it's time to take a rest." The old queen forced a smile, her arms fell weakly beside the golden silk gown.

The eyes are gradually closed, and there is no more light.

Emperor Zhao called softly, "Mother, are you asleep, mother?"

Responding to him, only the bleak autumn wind and the startling frost of the horseshoe
It was a group of people heading towards Xuanwu Gate, and a drum suddenly wailed.

"The empress dowager rides a crane, and the northern suburbs, after which Dehui is granted, and all blessings return to the Yuan—"
