Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 567: Hide (2)
"Pantoufeng()"!
The palace people knelt down together: "The slaves have seen the emperor."
Emperor Yongjia's face was gloomy, and he didn't even have the interest to take a look. He went straight to Queen Qiao's bedroom.
As expected of many years of husband and wife, Emperor Yongjia can also guess what Queen Qiao will look like when she learns that the prince is injured. Sure enough, as soon as I entered the bedroom, I smelled a strong medicinal smell.
Cai Lan is holding a medicine bowl and feeding Queen Qiao with medicine.
Hearing the footsteps, Cai Lan hurriedly put down the medicine bowl, stood up and saluted: "My slave and maid greet the emperor."
Emperor Yongjia hummed casually and glanced at Queen Qiao on Feng's couch.
Queen Qiao's tragic expression was not faked. At this time, she didn't have the strength to stand up and salute, and said sullenly: "My concubine is unable to stay and greet you, please forgive me."
Emperor Yongjia was also in a bad mood today. He frowned and said, "The Empress already knows about the Crown Prince's injury. I have already ordered Lu Fei to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to Jiangnan to guard the Prince's return to Beijing. The Empress is also relieved, Take good care of it, don't worry too much."
The tone is not gentle and considerate. It's probably the attitude of "you and my husband and I have no love to share, and I am also the son's father and won't leave it alone".
The candles are bright, reflecting the tender warmth in Emperor Yongjia's eyes.
Queen Qiao's eyes turned red, she turned her head inward, and tears fell silently.
At this moment, I don't know if she is crying and hurting the unidentified prince, or she is crying because of her concern at this moment.
Emperor Yongjia's few remaining consciences were hooked up by Queen Qiao's silent grief and tears, and with a long sigh, he sat down beside Feng's couch. Reached out to support Queen Joe's shoulder.
Cai Lan had already led a group of palace servants to retreat with their heads bowed.
There are only two people left in the bedroom.
"I know you are sad and worried,"
Emperor Yongjia's voice revealed a hint of remorse: "I am equally shocked and angry when I hear the bad news.
"Now, I won't hide it from you. The power of the old Jiangnan clan has changed from light to dark, and the power is huge, and I feel uneasy. Sending the prince to check private salt is one of them, and more importantly, it is through thorough investigation. Investigate private salt, clear the Jiangnan old clan forces, and clear the Jiangnan officialdom."
"I knew that this trip was dangerous, so I specially sent 2,000 imperial guards to the prince, and another 2,000 guards of the prince's concubine and 1,000 guards of the prince, adding up to 5,000 elite soldiers. I thought it was enough for him. Self-defense. I never thought that these **** were so daring that they assassinated the prince one after another..."
Empress Qiao didn't know where the strength came from, and she sat up from the bed with a bony face, her face turned pale with anger: "You know the danger, but you still sent A Jing! There are so many civil servants and generals in the court, which one to send will not work. !”
Emperor Yongjia rarely did not care about Empress Qiao, and explained patiently: "It involves imperial power, how can it be handed over to ministers. If the imperial envoy sent to him is bought or colluded in secret, it will cause even greater disasters. ."
After a pause, he added meaningfully: "I can only send the prince."
He still doesn't like the prince that much.
However, he is very clear that the prince has the help of Qiao Ge Lao and Xingyang King, and all the ministers return to their hearts. Moreover, the name of the prince's virtuousness has spread far and wide, and he has an excellent reputation among the court and the opposition. For the stability of the Great Wei Dynasty, and for the inheritance of the Li family, the crown prince can only be Li Jing.
Of course there are great risks in cleaning up Jiangnan's officialdom, but it's also a huge credit for doing so.
If he gave this errand to the third or fourth prince, where would he put the prince?
Queen Qiao understood the meaning of Emperor Yongjia's words, the original anger slowly subsided, and her eyes were still red: "According to the emperor, these people dare to assassinate the prince, and now the prince is injured, in case they rebel. Heart, what should I do if I don't do anything, and I deploy all my troops to besiege the prince?"
The more Empress Qiao spoke, the more frightened she became, her whole body trembled, and Lu Mingyu's face flashed across her mind.
Lu Mingyu must have known the danger, so she left the three children recklessly and left Beijing quickly.
Once the news of the army's dispatch reaches Jiangnan, I am afraid that some people will take the risk... Lu Mingyu wants to rush to Li Jing's side before the news reaches Jiangnan.
Emperor Yongjia saw Queen Qiao's face trembling with misery. He just thought she was worried about the safety of the crown prince and didn't have any doubts. He opened his mouth and comforted: "Don't think about it and scare yourself. This is the worst result. Wei's soldiers are vast, and the state of Yan and Chu have been conquered. If the old people in the south of the Yangtze River want to conspire or rebel, they must also weigh their own abilities."
"Lu Fei is the most outstanding general in the younger generation, and is also the prince's uncle. I sent him to lead 50,000 Xingyang troops to Jiangnan, you should rest assured."
If the Marquis of Puyang or the Marquis of Guangping were sent to Jiangnan, Queen Qiao would have trouble sleeping and eating.
The former is mediocre in fighting, while the latter has a rift with the East Palace.
The Xingyang Army is the most secure and reliable.
Queen Qiao wiped her tears with her sleeve and whispered: "The emperor is so considerate of the prince, the concubine thanked the emperor."
Emperor Yongjia said: "You don't have to thank me. The crown prince is your son and my only direct son. He is the Crown Prince of Wei. I care more about his safety than anyone else."
Under an impulse, Queen Qiao almost revealed that Lu Mingyu had quietly left the palace. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Emperor Yongjia's unpredictable eyes, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
Emperor Yongjia stood up and said, "I will go to Shouning Palace to visit my mother, please rest!"
Queen Joe answered in a low voice.
When Emperor Yongjia got up and left, Queen Qiao slowly let out a breath.
With Emperor Yongjia's temper, he came here once today, and will not come for the next few days. Lu Mingyu "can't report illness", at least for four or five days.
When everyone found out that Lu Mingyu was not in the palace, maybe she was almost in Jiangnan.
……
Everything is as Queen Joe expected.
The news of the prince's injury spread, and the government and the opposition were shaken.
Queen Qiao fell ill, and the crown princess Lu Mingyu reported illness at the same time. The grandson Li Jue went to study in the study every day, and the granddaughter Li Xuan sued, saying that she was accompanying her mother and younger brother. The behavior of the two brothers and sisters was unanimously praised by everyone.
Lu Mingyu didn't show up for several days, and some people in the harem gradually became suspicious.
Concubine Meng, who has nothing to do, and Concubine Qin, who loves to join in the fun and gossip, eats closed doors every day when she goes to the East Palace. The two leaned together and whispered.
"Prince Concubine has always been in good health~IndoMTL.com~ It is rare to even have a cough on weekdays. This time, I haven't shown up for four days." Concubine Meng said pointedly.
Concubine Qin rolled her eyes and said in a low voice, "I heard that the female relatives of the Lu family wanted to enter the palace to ask An to visit yesterday, but they were all stopped."
This is very wrong.
Lu Mingyu and her family's daughter-in-law have always been close, and there has never been a precedent for preventing them from visiting the palace.
Unless...
"I remember that the last time Lu's 'reported illness' was the night raid on the military camp to assassinate Yan Tuo." Concubine Meng thought thoughtfully.
The two looked at each other, a startling thought flashing through their minds at the same time.
