from widow to dame

Chapter 133

After a sleepless night until dawn, Su Huiniang didn't know what happened outside until the next day.

Outside the screen printed with purple porcelain flowers, the current Yan Zhongshun and the former Xiao Shunzi respectfully reported: "... Ma'am, my subordinates received the news that His Royal Highness King Jin brought people back to the capital last night, at the Xuanwu Gate. That clashed with the Janissaries..."

Su Huiniang was shocked when she heard this, she straightened up and asked, "Do you know how many people King Jin brought here?"

Xiao Shunzi hesitated for a while and then said: "There are about two hundred guards, but those guards are all good players. When there was a conflict yesterday, the nearest guards were not opponents at all. They were broken as soon as they were charged. city ​​gate."

Su Huiniang gasped, she couldn't complain that there was so much noise last night, and King Jin must have brought people into the palace at this time.

The third prince, King Jin, has always been exceptional in martial arts and has great prestige in the army.Moreover, as a vassal king, he already had tens of thousands of guards in his hands. If he wanted to make any changes, the world would definitely be in chaos.

Su Huiniang's guess was correct. At this moment, in the palace, a bloody storm is coming.

Zhu Houwen looked at the man in front of him blankly, the anger in his heart was as uncontrollable as a volcanic eruption, and even the originally gentle face became distorted, he clenched his fists tightly, and wanted to scratch the person in front of him with his fists. With a look in his eyes, he said coldly: "Third Emperor Uncle brought his soldiers and Ma Shu into the palace at night, is it to plot rebellion?"

"Nonsense!" Jin Wang is already in his fifties this year. He has a rough appearance and a tall stature. Ask me here, why did you hide and not report your father's critical illness?"

Zhu Houwen's expression changed instantly when he heard the words, he really didn't expect that King Jin would rush over in such a short time, he must have been hiding the truth from the spies he sent, it's really hateful! ! !
"Get out of the way for this king immediately." King Jin took a step forward and said loudly, "I was going to meet my father."

"The imperial doctor said that the imperial grandfather needs to rest now, and it is not appropriate to disturb him." Zhu Houwen was completely unmoved by his words and insisted on not giving in.

In the whole hall, no one dared to go forward to persuade them. The uncle and nephew froze there as if facing corns, and the atmosphere fell into the gloom before the rainstorm for a moment.After all, King Jin was more violent, he sneered twice, stretched out his hand, and pushed Zhu Houwen, who was standing in front of him, to the ground like he was carrying a chicken.

"His Royal Highness..."

"Bold..."

Seeing that the master was humiliated, the members of the Taisun faction gave up.They stepped forward to accuse them with red faces, and Zhu Houwen was the most angry at this moment. He suffered such a great humiliation in front of so many people, and his eyes immediately turned red. They only brought a hundred people, and the commander of the imperial guard guarding the palace is one of their own, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to kill the opponent endlessly.

With a flash of thought in his mind, Zhu Houwen suddenly stood up and shouted: "Prince Jin trespassed in the palace with the intention of treason, the imperial guard obeyed the order and took this person for His Highness!"

When he yelled like this, the people below were immediately stunned.However, the warriors reacted faster than the literati, as if they had been prepared for a long time, hundreds of silver-armored guards poured in from all directions, and in an instant, they surrounded King Jin and others.The silver-white stern weapon reflected a frightening cold light in the sun, reflecting the furious look of King Jin and Zhu Houwen's triumphant look of winning.

However, although King Jin was angry, there was no trace of fear on his face. Instead, he sneered at Zhu Houwen again and again, and also shouted loudly: "Zhu Houwen, you wolfish and ambitious bastard, the emperor loves you so much, but you don't want to repay it." , but put poison on him, intending to kill the king, for a rebellious person like you, this king will clear the king today!!!”

"You're spitting blood!!" Zhu Houwen's face clearly showed a trace of panic, and he also felt the suspicious eyes cast by the surrounding ministers, and immediately reprimanded: "You rebellious minister and thief, don't talk nonsense. The imperial guard The army ordered me to arrest this thief!"

Seeing that a bloody palace change was about to be staged in this hall, suddenly, a eunuch hurriedly ran over from behind, and shouted loudly while running: "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, Your Majesty, His Majesty!" Wake up!"

Hearing the shout, Zhu Houwen had a look of obvious astonishment on his face, but in a second, he rushed towards the apse.

In the dormitory, Zhu Chongguo, who had been in a coma for five days, did wake up. Right now, he was leaning on the bodyguard, and Jiang Bin, the commander of Jin Yiwei, was personally serving and feeding the medicine. Looking at his demeanor, it didn't seem like a flashback, but a great one. Looking better.

Seeing this, Zhu Houwen's heart skipped a beat, his face turned pale like paper in an instant, he barely stood still, he stepped forward and shouted excitedly: "Grandfather, you finally woke up!"

"Father!" Jin Wang Zhu Yan came in with him, and his complexion was not very good. Originally, a person who was obviously dying suddenly became alive and well again. This is not surprising.

Zhu Chongguo still looked weak, but his eyes were shining like cold electricity. Suddenly, he smashed the medicine bowl in front of him and shouted: "Jiang Bin, my two I've caught that wicked beast!"

Don't wait for the uncle and nephew to be dumbfounded, dozens of Jinyi guards hiding around the dormitory appeared in the room in an instant, regardless of the struggle of the two of them, they took the man down three times and five times.

"Royal father...grandfather..." King Yan and the grandson of the emperor shouted in panic.

However, no matter how much the two struggled to explain, Zhu Chongguo ignored them completely.King Jin soon brought those guards, and the imperial guards backed by Zhu Houwen were confiscated. After all, the person who issued this order was the emperor, and whoever dared to resist was treason.

From noon to evening, a bloody palace change that was about to erupt ended in an extremely dramatic turning point.

Concubine Li's mother and son were the most happy about this. The day the emperor woke up, he happily went to serve him, but he was not allowed. Now the only royal descendants who can meet the emperor and are allowed to stay in the palace are Huai'an Wang Zhuping alone.

Seeing Zhu Ping coming and going by his side with an unstoppable brilliance on his face, Zhu Chongguo felt very uncomfortable.It was this son who he didn't value the most on weekdays, but when he was critically ill, he stayed by his side day and night, and even his plump face seemed to have lost a layer of thinness.And when he woke up, he knelt on the ground crying with snot and tears, that expression of joy and rejoicing made Zhu Chongguo's heart sour.

After clearing up his emotions, Zhu Chongguo said in a rare and gentle voice: "Ping'er, don't be busy, you are tired these days, go down and rest!"

Zhu Ping had never seen his father with such a gentle attitude, and there was a little surprise and panic in his expression, which made Zhu Chongguo feel that he had gone too far.

At this time, someone outside reported that Yan Hongzhen, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, asked to see him.

After Zhu Ping withdrew, Zhu Chongguo asked calmly, "How?"

When Yan Hongzhen heard the words, a slightly hesitant expression appeared on his face.

"I ask you how it is!!!" Zhu Chongguo said angrily.

"Damn the humble minister, the emperor calms down." Yan Hongzhen showed a terrified expression, and quickly had someone carry in a large mahogany box. When he opened it, Zhu Chongguo was so angry that he fell on his back immediately, trembling almost convulsively. .I saw a shining five-clawed dragon robe in the box that could almost dazzle a dog's eyes. Dongguan, Chaozhu, Baiyu belt, and a whole set of emperor's attire were all displayed there.

"This was all found from the emperor's grandson's mansion." Yan Hongzhen lowered his head and said slowly: "In addition, a large sum of gold, silver and jade was also found in the mansion, as well as the emperor's grandson and his wife. The letters left by the ministers when they came and went..." Those letters were naturally written with promises, what will happen to you if my grandson is crowned a great treasure... In short, there are two words "wooing".

"Good good good good good good grandson!!!" Zhu Chongguo was so angry that he almost fainted, his eyes were frighteningly cold.

"Not only that..." Yan Hongzhen lowered his head, and a strange brilliance flashed across his face where no one was looking, and he said: "I also found out that the decoction that His Majesty took every day when he was in a coma will Inexplicably more or less of one kind..."

Zhu Chongguo is no longer angry at this time, but still wants to kill someone.

Just like King Jin accused, Zhu Houwen did tamper with medicine.He really wanted Zhu Chongguo to die quickly. However, if he poisoned directly, it would inevitably leave traces. At that time, he would definitely be suspected, so he played tricks on the medicine, or used less blindly, or It is very easy to replace it with a similar shape but completely opposite medicinal properties.

Zhu Chongguo gasped for quite a while with a bruised face, and there was no more hesitation in his heart, how could such an unkind and unfilial person be able to take on such a big responsibility.He originally had that kind of suspicious and ruthless temperament. Now that he had made up his mind, he immediately said: "Preach my will. Abolish the title of Zhu Houwen's grandson, drive him out of the royal family, demote him to a commoner, and press him into the clan's mansion. Without me order that no one should visit."

"Wei Chen obeys!"

However, the development of things will not always go in the direction people expected. Zhu Chongguo just finished dealing with the emperor's grandson, and news came out that Zhu Houqian, the son of King Jin, led the army to rebel.
