Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 178 Situation
The maid showed her original expression and asked, "Sister Jing'er, what should I do now? It's direct."

Saying that, the maid made a movement of wiping her neck.

Jing'er glared at the maid, and said fiercely: "This is outside the gate of Nuanyue Palace, do you want everyone to know that something happened to them in Nuanyue Palace?"

Looking around, she found that no one noticed the situation here, so Jing'er walked to the side of the tree and waved to someone not far away.

The four guards quickly ran out from behind the big tree, and arrived in front of Jing'er and the others in a short while.

Hsinchu was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe out, for fear of being discovered by them.Ruan Mianmian thought calmly, for the sake of safety, even if Gu Ruoying wanted to kill her, she would not do it here.

Choose a safe place. Many people saw them entering the palace today. Gu Ruoying wanted to deceive others, so she naturally arranged for someone to act.

After the four guards took them to the corner to hide them, Jing'er's soft voice came from not far away: "Hsinchu, this is a gift from our empress to the princess. I just forgot about it and asked me to bring it here." .”

Ruan Mianmian opened her eyes slightly, and saw a woman dressed exactly like her walking in front of the palace gate not far away, with a cold expression on her face.

And the girl named "Xinzhu" who was following her was a little behind and was talking to Jing'er.The maid beside Jing'er handed a small box to "Hsinchu" with a smile on her face.

When the Ninth Concubine got into the carriage, her foot seemed to be crooked. "Hsinchu" just walked over with the box, and helped the Ninth Concubine into the carriage under the watchful eyes of the guards at the palace gate.

Seeing this, Ruan Mianmian raised the corners of her lips, it was really the same as what she had guessed.

It seems that Gu Ruoying has planned everything long ago, and she and Xinzhu should be secretly taken out of the palace, and then find a place where no one is around, and deal with it quietly.

If so, Ruan Mianmian would be happy to enjoy it.

She didn't need to bother, following Gu Ruoying's arrangement, she could easily leave Jiuyou Palace and disappear from Feng Jiuyou's eyes.

It is a little omission, that is, because Hsinchu was worried that she would be bullied by the imperial concubine, she used money to inquire about the whereabouts of His Royal Highness Ninth Prince.

Then, the little father-in-law was too clever again, and took money from others to eliminate disasters. After pondering in the room for a while, he still went to the palace.

In the imperial garden, I met Liu Yan, a book boy next to His Highness the Ninth Prince, and told Liu Yan directly that the imperial concubine had invited the Ninth Prince to Nuanyue Palace for tea.

Liu Yan is such a clever person, the first thing he thought of was that this little father-in-law was sent by the princess to communicate.

After all, in the eyes of the world, the master of Nuanyue Palace is His Highness's confidant. If he wants to harm the princess, the princess has no way to resist.

Originally thinking to speak slowly, the little father-in-law said in a low voice: "Young Master Liuyan, I heard that the noble concubine and empress have someone take the princess to the side hall to wait."

After saying this, the little eunuch looked at the sky: "It's getting late, this servant will not delay Young Master Liu Yan, and this servant will leave."

Liuyan hesitated as she thought about it, the noble concubine summoned the princess to drink tea, and it was the first time that the concubine summoned the princess to drink tea.

Normally, a person with an identity like the princess would be summoned in the main hall, so why would he go to the side hall?

The first thing that comes to mind is that this Gu Ruoying is deliberately embarrassing the princess.

It's just that they started to make things difficult when they first entered Nuanyue Palace. After the princess entered, all kinds of difficulties can be imagined.

Gu Ruoying was in the Gu family and was also a noble concubine in the palace.She has been in the palace for a few years, but since she entered the palace, the emperor's thoughts have shifted to her, and it can be said that his favor has never faded.

As an emperor, in a harem full of beauties, such kindness is justified for a few months.But for a few years, that's not normal.

It can only be said that this noble concubine's methods are powerful.

What kind of person is the concubine? She is indifferent and quiet, and does not hesitate to be lively. She hates palace banquets and will not go to any banquets that she can not attend.

This time, she actually took Hsinchu to Jiuyou Palace, Gu Ruoying must have tried some means to force the princess to go.

Thinking that His Highness is heading towards the palace right now, Liu Yan didn't hesitate anymore, and directly took a step forward, striding towards the direction of the palace.

In the court hall, Emperor Feng Zhao, who had been lingering on the couch for a long time, sat on the dragon chair again.

His face was thin, and in just half a year, he seemed to be more than ten years older.His temples are gray and his face is full of sickness.

But those eyes were as sharp as ever, making people afraid to look directly at them.

There were two people kneeling in the court hall, one was the deposed prince Feng Junxi who had been placed under house arrest in the East Palace, and the other was the fifth prince Feng Chengao, the Chang Sheng general who held millions of troops.

Everyone in the court hall was silent, not daring to look up at Emperor Feng Zhao on the dragon chair.Although Emperor Feng Zhao was lying on the couch for a long time, his majesty remained the same.

His gaze swept across Feng Junxi and Feng Chengao sharply, and Emperor Feng Zhao looked at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and said coldly: "Why, are you all dumb?"

Emperor Fengzhao's voice was hoarse with a long illness, but it did not affect his majesty and courage in the slightest: "The army of the Xiliu Kingdom is suppressing the border, and the king of Nanjun rushed back to Nanjun day and night. There is internal turmoil in Nanjun, and Xiliu is invading abroad."

"On normal times, I wouldn't worry about the safety of Nanjun. However, the king of Nanjun occasionally felt cold on the way back to Nanjun, and he was attacked by bandits, so he is already sick."

"Nanjun's terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, Xiliu Kingdom is familiar with the terrain of Nanjun. Easy to defend and difficult to attack may be effective for the small frontier country in the northwest, but it is nothing to fear for the Xiliu Kingdom with strong troops and horses."

The cold and sharp gaze swept across everyone's faces, and Emperor Feng Zhao said coldly: "Now our Fengtian Dynasty has internal and external troubles, so no one can stand up today?"

"Go back to the emperor, Changxi is willing to get up immediately and rush to Nanjun." Feng Changxi stood up from the crowd and knelt on the court hall.

Dequan beside Emperor Fengzhao was slightly surprised, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you can't do it. Your Majesty's body has been taken care of by your Majesty. If you leave your Majesty, if your Majesty falls ill, you can't do it."

A minister quickly stood up and said loudly: "Yes, my son, although the situation in Nanjun is dangerous, the emperor's body is more important."

A minister knew that Feng Changxi was worried about his father's safety, so he quickly stood up and said, "The king of Nanjun has been a soldier all his life. Although he is lingering in the sick bed, I believe he will recover. Besides, there is still His Royal Highness in Nanjun, so nothing will happen."

"Yes, the son must not leave Jingling City, and the emperor must not leave."

"Your Majesty, I feel that the small frontier country is afraid of the might of His Highness the Fifth Highness and dare not invade. His Highness Fifth can go south with the King of Nanjun and His Highness the Third Highness to resist the foreign enemies in Xiliu."

Leaving Jingling City at this time, wouldn't it mean giving up the throne that was about to be obtained.After finally forcing the third elder brother Feng Zixu away, if Feng Chengao also went to Nanjun, the entire Jingling City would be under Feng Jiuyou's world.

Father's health was good and bad, if he died one day, wouldn't he just lose his chance.

At this time, the crown prince has just been deposed, and the emperor's father is seriously ill, so establishing the crown prince is a top priority.

A sinister look flashed across his eyes, Feng Chengao winked at a minister next to him.

The minister understood, and hurried forward and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that there will be no major incidents in Nanjun with the King of Nanjun and His Highness the Third Prince here for the time being. The most urgent thing now is to appoint a crown prince."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole court was in an uproar.
