Hello Chang'an Chapter 541

Chapter 541 Bloody Light in the Forbidden Palace

As if they were well prepared, several imperial doctors quickly rushed to the East Palace to examine the prince.

After a lot of fuss, Shi, a lady from the Eastern Palace in her early thirties, said to the frightened Wei Miaoqing: "The Crown Princess does not need to worry too much. The doctors have said that His Highness the Crown Prince is just weak and tired, and there is nothing serious."

This statement shocked Wei Miaoqing so much that he fell into a coma. How can this be called "nothing serious"?

The sentence "Is the standard for judging the severity of illness in your palace so high?" came to her lips and was forcefully swallowed by Wei Miaoqing.

After the doctors retreated, Wei Miaoqing glanced at Li Zhi, who was still unconscious on the bed, and asked the female historian, "Yan Nvshi, since Your Highness is feeling unwell, shall I go to the side hall to rest tonight?"

Yan Nu Shi frowned slightly: "Princess, tonight is your wedding night to the prince. I'm afraid it's against the rules for you to do this."

She looked at Wei Miaoqing: "The prince is not feeling well, so you should be there to take care of him."

Wei Miaoqing had a headache hearing this.

With her background and appearance, how could she seem to be good at serving others? And there were so many servants, why did she have to be the only one to get tired?

There are really strange rules in this palace.

But Wei Miaoqing didn't want to argue with him, and nodded perfunctorily. Seeing that the female historian was about to retreat, she hurriedly said: "Nvshi Yan, do you still have food?"

Yan Nvshi looked at her in disbelief - the prince was still unconscious, was the prince actively asking her for something to eat?

Being looked at like this, Wei Miaoqing also felt baffled - in such a large East Palace, does the female history official expect her, the crown princess, to ask for food?

Wei Miaoqing said confidently: "I haven't eaten for a day. Since I have to take care of His Highness, how can I do it if I don't eat enough."

Since she was a child, her mother-in-law had told her that all the so-called dignity and praise that could only be earned by enduring hardship and suffering were not worth it.

Seeing her like this, Yan Nushi had no choice but to ask someone to prepare food.

While waiting for the meal, Wei Miaoqing hurriedly asked the maid to take off her bun.

By the time the meal was delivered, Wei Miaoqing had already finished bathing and put on comfortable underwear.

After several East Palace maids laid out the food and were ordered to leave, they couldn't help but look at each other. They never dreamed that this almost terrifying sense of relaxation would actually appear in their palace, which was tighter than a fully drawn bowstring and tighter than a sealed seal. The stagnant water in the jar for more than ten years is still depressing in the East Palace.

After Wei Miaoqing had eaten her fill, she washed her hands and rinsed her mouth, then got on the couch and lay down next to the prince.

However, after tossing and turning, Wei Miaoqing couldn't fall asleep, so she simply sat up.

She looked at the unconscious Crown Prince Li Zhi beside her, and suddenly felt doubtful in her heart. She couldn't help but said to the dowry maid who was standing by: "... Since ancient times, people in the world have regarded reservation as a virtue, and even marriage matters must be reserved and followed etiquette. It would be outrageous to have more than one meeting in private before getting married...but then, suddenly having to undress and sleep with a stranger, where is the reserve?"

If you ask her, there is nothing crazier than this!

She was so mad that her spine felt numb and she couldn't understand it.

Listening to these strange words of her own girl, the maid hesitated and her face turned red.

The next moment, he saw his girl getting off the bed holding a quilt.

The maid whispered: "Girl, what are you..."

"You also know how I sleep. If I can't keep him safe, I'll force him out or kick him off the bed..." Wei Miaoqing hugged the quilt and walked to the beauty's bed near the window: "He is so sick, how can he stand it? Why bother me like this?”

When the maid heard this, she didn't have much to say. She could only help her girl tidy up the quilt and bring a jade pillow.

Wei Miaoqing quickly lay down and exhaled comfortably.

The maid made a bed at her feet, and the master and servant began to talk quietly.

"Mengchan, do you miss home?" Wei Miaoqing asked in a low voice.

Before the maid could answer, Wei Miaoqing looked at the roof and whispered, "I feel a little homesick."

"Girl..."

"Brother told me last night that he felt guilty for treating me." Wei Miaoqing hugged the quilt and whispered in a low voice, as if to herself: "But what's wrong with my brother? I entered the palace and became the prince. Concubine, this is for the entire Wei family, not for my brother. Just because my brother is the most outstanding person in the family, if I have to blame him entirely, then my brother must be very unlucky. "

"If I put everything on my brother, and just want to enjoy the benefits without giving anything, and hide behind my brother and my family all my life, and be a girl whose only advantages are luck and beauty, then I will be too useless. …”

So she told her brother that if he insists on selfishly asking me to be a useless person, he should really feel indebted and apologetic.

Brother A looked at her and didn't speak for a long time.

"In this situation, I have no choice, brother has no choice, so many people have no choice..."

Wei Miaoqing said and glanced at Li Zhi on the bed: "As a prince, let alone other people."

"I'm much more relaxed than brother." Wei Miaoqing shrank her shoulders into the soft new quilt: "At this moment, brother must still be busy with official duties."

What will grandma and dad do?

In the past, she must have gone to bed at this time, but today she married into the palace, and her father and mother must also be thinking about her, right?

"Mengchan, I miss my grandma a little..."

Hearing her girl's whisper, the maid couldn't help but feel sore in her eyes. She was about to say something to comfort her, but soon she heard the girl's even breathing above her.

The maid couldn't help but smile and raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes.

Her girl is really big-hearted and really tired.

Being a princess is really tiring.

The princess was very tired and almost overslept the next day.

Wei Miaoqing was woken up by a maid. When she woke up, Prince Li Zhi had just been woken up by a chambermaid.

Wei Miaoqing subconsciously looked at Li Zhi, who was sitting up and listening blankly to the chamberlain's words. She felt that although there was not much expression on his face, he seemed to be about to cry.

Wei Miaoqing suddenly felt a little sorry for Li Zhi.

After the two of them washed and changed clothes under the attendants of the palace servants, the prince took the medicine and got into the chariot with Wei Miaoqing.

On the gorgeous chariot with gauze curtains hanging down, the prince and Wei Miaoqing sat side by side.

"Last night, I accidentally fainted..." After a while, the prince spoke to Wei Miaoqing in a low voice, with a hint of apology in his voice.

Wei Miaoqing, who was admiring the scenery along the way through the gauze curtain, turned her head and suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first words the prince had spoken to her.

Seeing the prince lowering his head, Wei Miaoqing said with relief: "It's okay, it's okay, just wake up."

Her voice was light and sweet, but the prince didn't know how to respond. He nodded and stopped talking.

After the two arrived at the Manlu Hall, as soon as they entered the outer hall, the prince's expression suddenly changed.

There were the sounds of officials discussing matters in the inner hall, but it was only just getting dark at the moment...

The voices stopped when the palace servants reported to the inner hall the news that the crown prince and crown princess had come to pay their respects. Soon, the palace man withdrew and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, please come in."

Wei Miaoqing followed the prince into the inner hall, only to find that there were a dozen ministers in the hall, including her brother.

Moreover, her brother and everyone else seemed to have serious expressions, as if something important had happened.

When His Majesty spoke, there was not much difference in his tone, but after she paid her respects, the Saint asked the palace servants to take her to the side hall to rest and wait, while leaving the Prince alone.

Wei Miaoqing miraculously noticed that the prince seemed to want to leave with her, but obviously he could not.

As Wei Miaoqing retreated, she subconsciously looked in the direction of her brother. When she saw her brother nodded slightly to her, she retreated with peace of mind.

Just as Wei Miaoqing felt, something big had indeed happened.

Last night, after the banquet at Hanyuan Hall, when the officials left the palace, a group of officials had just left the gate of the Forbidden Palace and before they could reach the gate of the outer palace, they were suddenly assassinated.

The prince's head was buzzing and he almost fainted again - after he fainted last night, such a big thing happened!

Officials were assassinated outside the Forbidden Palace...this has never happened before!

After hearing who the officials who were killed were, the prince's vision became even darker.

The Jiedushi of Lingnan Road, the Right Minister of the Ministry of War, the Jiedushi of Shuofang...

At this time, everyone in the palace was the emperor's confidant, and the prince suddenly knelt down: "This matter was caused by an oversight... Your Majesty, please punish me!"

Now it is clear that he is in charge of politics, but there is such a big mistake in the palace, and hundreds of officials entered the palace yesterday because of his wedding...

The prince recited the identities of the three people who were killed over and over in his mind, but felt that if he picked any one out at random, the weight would not be comparable to that of him!

Especially the two Jiedu envoys...

"This matter is not your fault." The empress' cold voice came from above: "The person who did it was neither an assassin hiding in the dark nor a spy lurking in the palace..."

The prince raised his face in cold sweat. So, it must have been the fault of the imperial army in charge of the palace?

Then...who did it? !

The empress said word by word: "Jiannan Road Jiedu Envoy, Wan Yantai."

The prince was horrified and shocked: "Jiannan Road Jiedu Envoy, actually..."

—Actually killing someone outside the forbidden palace? !

If he committed a murder openly, then Wan Yantai would not die!

Although these days have seen many battles and deaths and injuries, the unexpected degree of this incident still makes the prince feel unbelievable.

Wan Yantai's move was completely unabashed. He chose to act alone at a place and time where no one expected him to act.

When a group of foreign ministers enter the capital, the number of followers they bring is limited, and every move is within the scope of the emperor's surveillance.

Today is the prince's wedding, and the imperial guards everywhere have repeatedly stepped up their guard. When hundreds of officials entered the palace, they were checked again and again, and all the swords carried by the generals were unloaded outside the forbidden palace.

At the end of the day, the banquet was over, everything was under control, and nothing happened.

Just when everyone was about to let go, no one expected that an accident would happen at this moment.

During the banquet, all the officials drank more or less, and all the governors were no exception. Even under the influence of alcohol, everyone had a brief illusion that they were closer to each other.

Therefore, when Wan Yantai, the military envoy of Jiannan Road, took his sword outside the forbidden palace gate and suddenly stabbed the military governor of Lingnan Road at his side, the latter was almost defenseless.

As Wan Yantai pulled out the short sword, the Lingnan Dao Jiedushi retreated and fell to the ground, and there was sudden chaos everywhere.

At that time, they had just left the Forbidden Palace Gate a dozen steps away. Their respective servants and attendants were waiting not far ahead, but some of them were destined to be unable to leave the imperial city tonight.

In the chaos, the Minister of War also fell injured.

Shuofang Jiedushi drew his sword and fought with Wan Yantai, preventing Wan Yantai from hurting others. Later, as the forbidden army joined, Shuofang Jiedushi seriously injured Wan Yantai.

Wan Yantai was subdued by the Forbidden Army and was forced to kneel down. However, the next moment, he slammed into the long knife pointed at him by the Forbidden Army, allowing the sharp long knife to penetrate his body and organs.

As blood flowed from his mouth, Wan Yantai stared at Shuofang Jiedushi and others, and left a sentence: "You are stubborn and still want to be loyal to the immoral and incompetent king... It is not a pity to die!" 】

At that moment, Shuofang Jiedu suddenly noticed something strange.

During his fight with Wan Yantai, his chest and arms were scratched by the opponent, but judging from his experience, the injuries were not serious.

Until the sword fell out of his hand and he fell uncontrollably.

Wan Yantai's short knife was quenched with poison.

When Shuofang Jiedushi fell to the ground, looking at the night above the palace wall, what flashed before his eyes was the vast northern border, and the day he decided to enter Beijing, his friend Longyou Jiedushi told him nonsense, and he laughed. The picture of raising a fist to hit the opponent's shoulder.

As a border guard general, he is not afraid of death, especially since the turmoil in the north, he has long been prepared to spill his blood.

But he never thought that his blood would not be spilled on the battlefield to defend the territory from aliens, but in the palace filled with power-hungry calculations.

Before losing consciousness, Shuofang Jiedu used his last breath of strength and turned his head to look north, but the palace wall was too high and blocked everything.

The right minister of the Ministry of War also died of poisoning, along with six other Imperial Guardsmen.

Only then did the prince understand why the atmosphere in the palace was so solemn.

The emperor's face was also shrouded in dark clouds.

After Wan Yantai, the envoy of Jiannan Road, came to Beijing, Emperor Shengce personally summoned him in private to test his intention and attitude.

Wan Yantai knelt down in front of the emperor, expressing his loyalty to the emperor and claiming that he had no intention of following King Rong to commit rebellion. The reason why he came to the capital in person this time was to express his position and not to create discord with the imperial court.

Of course, Emperor Shengzhi couldn't believe these beautiful words.

She guessed that Wan Yantai's move was just a cover-up to convey to her the illusion that Jiannan Road was not yet under the control of King Rong, in order to paralyze her guard... Therefore, she would never let Wan Yantai return to Jiannan Road easily. .

But what he didn't expect was that Wan Yantai never thought about going back alive.

On the night of the prince's wedding, two military envoys and the court officials died tragically outside the forbidden palace... How could the court lose face due to this incident, and how could the emperor's majesty be maintained? This almost turned the court and the emperor into a huge laughing stock!

And the shock and blow this incident will bring to the imperial court is almost indescribable...

This is what Wan Yantai sacrificed his life for...for the great cause of King Rong!

This knowledge made the emperor feel endless anger and sadness that even she could not explain.

The fingers of the Holy Emperor holding the relief on the side of the dragon chair were trembling slightly due to excessive force.

Li Yin could actually make a Jiedu envoy willing to go to the capital to die for him...but she couldn't even let her daughter return to the capital to see her.

How ironic is this?

Good night everyone~
