From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 778 The Emperor Urgently Summons
The next day, Mei Xin sent off her elder brother Mei Jinze at the gate of the city with a big belly. Not long after they left, the emperor's condition became more and more serious, and he fell into a coma several times. Rumors spread everywhere, and it was rumored that the emperor would die soon.

During the national mourning period, no one was allowed to marry, so that people who heard the rumor and had an engaged family hurriedly arranged the marriage, for fear that they would have to wait for three years after the emperor died.

Compared with other people's homes, the palace is much quieter, and since Mrs. Mei moved out with Mei Jingxuan, the entire palace has completely quieted down.After the people in the second, third, and fourth bedrooms moved out, Mei Xin also used the excuse of raising a baby to stay at home all day.

At the end of the first lunar month, Mei Xin received the first letter from her father, Mei Zhannan, after leaving the capital. The letter said that apart from the constant assassinations, the journey was smooth, and the second day after they arrived in Liangzhou, the Tartars launched an attack. There was a violent siege.

Fang Pingsheng and a few powerful generals from the Mei family were in the army, but there was no trouble, but in order to have no worries, the army still had a big cleanup, and almost all the emperor's minions were killed openly and covertly.

Before leaving, Mei Xin discussed the detailed battle plan with her father and brother. Although she took advantage of the advantages of her previous life, she was still quite worried. After all, the Tartars had gathered 50 troops this time. Big.

"Major General, what's the matter with you, is there something wrong with Liangzhou?" Zifu came in with a bowl of bird's nest, and saw Mei Xin frowning worriedly, as if something serious had happened.

After hearing the sound, Mei Xin shook her head lightly, threw the letter in her hand directly into the brazier and burned it, and then she said worriedly: "My aunt disguised herself to go to the battlefield, I'm worried that this matter won't be kept secret for long, the emperor should You'll notice it soon."

Royal dark guards are all over the world, and it is impossible and unrealistic to eradicate them without falling.

Startled in his heart, Zi Fu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "The emperor is seriously ill, and the news from the palace said that he has been in a coma for three days and three nights, and he hasn't woken up yet, so he shouldn't be aware of it so soon."

The empress has completely controlled the harem, and the sudden death of the imperial concubine Rong was done very cleanly, without leaving any clues, even if the emperor suspected it, he couldn't find anything.

Mei Xin is very clear about the current situation in the palace, but she has a feeling that the emperor will definitely notice it, but sooner or later.

Smiling slightly and leaning back on the chair wearily, Mei Xin said lightly: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, is there still no news about Yongzhou?"

For more than half a month, Zongzheng Mingzhen has seen no dead or dead bodies in his life, just like a mud cow has entered the sea and has no news, and he does not know whether he is dead or alive.

Zi Fu shook his head, put down the bowl in his hand, and said, "Most of the people who followed were killed or injured, and the sent people searched for a long time, but there was no trace of him. I guess it's a bad luck."

It is also the court's incompetence and the treacherous King Huai of Chu, otherwise where would it be his turn to be an uncle of the country to quell the chaos.

Mei Xin didn't believe that he died so easily, she was silent for a moment and said: "Right now Yongzhou has been captured, let's withdraw people back. The rebels have already reached Luo Feng, if the old general Guan can't hold it, he will go straight to the capital , be prepared to leave at any time."

Luo Feng was only three hundred miles away from the capital, and if he couldn't hold it there, the rebels would be able to attack the city within three days.Of course, this is the worst case scenario. There are garrisons outside the city, and there are Gyeonggi Guards and Forbidden Army in the middle of the capital.

"Your servant obeys!" All the valuables that could be taken away had already gone with the grain and grass, and those that could not be taken away were all sealed and hidden two days before they were about to leave.Therefore, Zifu and the others have already made preparations, and everything has been packed.

Waving her hand to signal her to back down, cardamom came in.With a serious face, he walked in a hurry, and said as soon as he entered the door: "The major general is not well, someone came from the palace, saying that the emperor summoned you to enter the palace immediately."

Frowning slightly, Mei Xin stood up abruptly, and asked in surprise: "The emperor is awake?"

Cardamom nodded, and immediately replied: "It's the emperor's father-in-law Deshun, he said that the emperor woke up half an hour ago and urgently called you into the palace."

Ever since the Great General and the First Son left the gate of Jingliang Prince's Mansion by order, Mei Xin had hardly been out of the house, let alone entered the palace, so the sudden summoning was unavoidably worrying and definitely not a good thing.

Although Mei Xin was shocked, she was not afraid. She thought calmly for a while and said, "Let him wait for a while, and say that I will come when I change my clothes. Zi Fu, you go to find Grandma Sun and let her enter the palace with me."

Nearly seven months pregnant, her belly is already very big, and her feet have begun to swell, making it very inconvenient to go out.

Cardamom took the order and turned away, Zi Fu said: "Do you want to invite the Fourth Madam..."

Waving her hand to signal no need, Mei Xin got up and left the study, and said as she walked, "Fourth aunt left the capital early this morning in the name of going to a funeral, don't worry, I don't need anyone to accompany you. You go and ask Yunying to prepare the carriage and order to kiss her." The soldiers will leave."

The capital has never been peaceful, so she has to be careful.

Zi Fu took the order and left, Zishuang helped Mei Xin go back to her room and change her clothes.

After a stick of incense, Father-in-Law De Shun'er saw Mei Xin, and saw that her belly had grown a lot since he hadn't seen her for more than half a month, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "My slave bows to the Eldest Princess, all blessings to the Eldest Princess!"

Mei Xin, who was wearing a big cloak, stopped and said with a faint smile, "Your father-in-law is polite, get up."

Father-in-law Deshun'er got up, stood aside, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Please get on the carriage, Eldest Princess!"

Mei Xin originally wanted to ask him about the situation in the palace, but it was not easy to ask him when she saw the Imperial Guard guarding the side, so she nodded and got into the carriage with the support of Nanny Sun.

The carriage was spacious and comfortable with two quilts spread out, Mei Xin helped Nanny Sun take off her cloak and sat down.

Grandma Sun couldn't help being startled when she saw that there were as many as 30 people in the imperial guards, she took two soft pillows and put them behind Mei Xin's back and said, "Princess, this servant is not in the right posture, do you want to send someone to inform Duke Lu?" ?”

Right now, the only ones who can and are willing to help Prince Liang's Mansion are the Lu family, and if there is something wrong with Mei Xin in the palace, someone will help her.

Mei Xin shook her head and said in a low voice: "It's a blessing, not a disaster. A disaster can't be avoided. It's useless to inform anyone if you really make things difficult on purpose. Grandpa and uncle can't save me. Don't be afraid, mother, I'm pregnant with his baby." Grandson, he won't be so mad as to want to kill me."

She wasn't sure, but there was an ally in the palace, the Queen, and at critical moments, she believed that looking for her would be more useful than looking for Uncle Lu.

Grandma Sun has been in the palace for several years and has seen all kinds of bloody storms. She felt that Mei Xin was too optimistic. She said: "Be careful when sailing for ten thousand years. The servants will go to see the empress after entering the palace."
