Chapter 95: Rescue
The next day, the snow had almost melted.
Ying'an hadn't woken up yet, and Concubine Shu Gui touched her face worriedly, and was relieved only after confirming that she was fine. Next
to her pillow, there was a tiger-head hat with the word "peace" embroidered on it.
"Mi Chun, please go to Jingren Palace for me and tell her that the princess is not feeling well and I can't leave."
Mi Chun nodded: "Yes."
After she left, Concubine Shu Gui covered Ying'an with a quilt. Just as she was about to get up, Nanny Chen knelt down behind her with her sick body.
"Please punish me, Your Majesty." Nanny Chen's face was pale and bloodless.
Concubine Shu Gui glanced at her, went forward to help Nanny Chen up, and the two left the room together.
On the couch, Concubine Shu Gui was sitting, and Nanny Chen was standing in front of her.
"What happened yesterday? Who hurt you?" Concubine Shugui looked at Nanny Chen with a gloomy look.
Her protective look was truly touching.
Nanny Chen knelt down and said, "I lied that I was a servant who went out to purchase things. I sneaked into the Hengjun Prince's Mansion when there was a fire and chaos. I accidentally discovered the secret of the Hengjun Prince's Mansion... Hengjun Prince raised assassins in Beijing. They were full of murderous aura and had scars on their faces. I was going to die in Hengjun Prince's Mansion, but I didn't expect that the Fourteenth Master was also in Hengjun Prince's Mansion. The Fourteenth Master tried his best to save me and fainted in Hengjun Prince's Mansion. But even so, I was still injured. Because I have been in the palace for many years, I know the small door in the palace, so I slipped in at night, but Madam... the Fourteenth Master..." As soon as
these words came out, Concubine Shu Gui's face changed drastically.
I didn't expect that Hengjun Prince really intended to rebel.
And they were fully prepared.
So what Ying'an said was not that the prime minister was plotting a rebellion, but that the Prince of Heng was plotting a rebellion, and joined forces with Jiang to pin the blame on the prime minister's mansion.
The prime minister was speechless, and more than a hundred people in the prime minister's mansion died tragically.
And the Fourteenth Master...he...
Concubine Shu Gui suppressed her inner shock and tried to say calmly: "Is the Fourteenth Master going to the Prince of Heng's mansion as a guest or..."
Nanny Chen shook her head: "I don't know, but the Fourteenth Master was wearing a black suit, and it was really hard to see clearly in the night. If he sneaked in, it would be reasonable."
Concubine Shu Gui frowned. No matter whether the Fourteenth Master sneaked in or went to visit, the Prince of Heng would not let him go easily, unless the emperor personally went to the Prince of Heng's mansion to ask for him.
Someone has seen the secret of Prince Heng's Mansion, and this matter must not be leaked.
And the only one who knows the identity of the person who sneaked out is the Fourteenth Master.
After thinking for a moment, Concubine Shugui said: "You should go back to your room and rest first, and don't show up in the next two days."
Nanny Chen nodded: "Yes, Madam."
"In this way, when Ying'an returns to the cold palace in two days, you go with her. You can tell the outside world that I am worried about the princess, so I sent more people. The princess was just injured, which is understandable."
"But Madam, you can't be without someone here!"
Now the harem is like a battlefield, and Yin Daying has also entered the palace, which means that Madam has one more enemy. In such a dangerous situation, how can she leave Madam alone in Guangling Palace.
Concubine Shu Gui gently stroked her armor and said, "It doesn't matter. If someone comes to make me unhappy, I will definitely not let her off."
Nanny Chen couldn't persuade Concubine Shu Gui, so she could only obey her orders.
Xiao Wuzi rushed in in a panic, and without even having time to salute, he said, "Your Majesty, Lord Hua has been imprisoned. It is said that the Emperor has evidence that Lord Hua is looking for ancient prescriptions for the Empress, and Commander Wei's men have also found a lot of dirty things in the Hua Mansion. Now everyone in the capital is cursing him, saying that Lord Hua is not worthy of being an official and is a sinner for all eternity." Concubine
Shu Gui slowly raised her eyes and suddenly laughed, "I thought the Emperor was reluctant to vent his anger on the Hua family, but now it seems that he has been secretly collecting evidence."
In addition to the Hua family, what about Prince Heng's Mansion?
Xiao Wuzi hurriedly said, "The Hua family designed to frame the queen, and the emperor will certainly vent his anger for the queen."
Concubine Shugui curled her lips and smiled, but said nothing. After a while, she pretended to ask casually, "Did any of the princes come to the morning court today?"
Xiao Wuzi pondered the purpose of the queen's question in his mind. Although he had doubts, he still answered honestly.
"Your Highness, I heard that except for the Fourteenth Prince, all the other princes are here today. It seems that there is unrest at the border again, and the Emperor is counting the troops and sending them out."
Concubine Shu Gui raised her eyes and said slowly, "I heard that the Fourteenth Prince was good at riding and shooting when he was young, but the Emperor didn't let him go?"
Xiao Wuzi didn't think much about it and said, "Your Highness, the Fourteenth Prince revealed his poor health a few days ago. Now the capital does not trust the Fourteenth Prince. Everyone thinks... an imperfect person does not have masculine energy. If he goes to the border, he will definitely lose the battle. Therefore, no one mentions the Fourteenth Prince for the time being." Concubine
Shu Gui frowned.
Yesterday, Nanny Chen was poisoned. If Ying'an hadn't been there, I'm afraid she would have died by now.
If no one had treated the Fourteenth Master, would he have died by now...
She was worried in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
She glanced at Xiao Wuzi and said, "Go ask the small kitchen to make a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold. I will go to the study later to warm up the emperor." "
Yes, your majesty."
Xiao Wuzi went out to the small kitchen without stopping.
Nanny Chen looked at Shu Guifei worriedly: "Your majesty, you can't show up for the Fourteenth Master. If the emperor gets suspicious, your reputation will be over!"
Shu Guifei lowered her eyes and said lightly, "I know my limits."
When her father went south, the Fourteenth Master had helped them. If she was prudent at this time, I'm afraid she would never get over it in her life.
After all, it was a life.
She looked at Nanny Chen: "I'll leave the princess to you, please protect her."
Nanny Chen nodded: "Don't worry, madam."
Snow began to fall outside the window again, not heavily, but quite cold.
Concubine Shu Gui pointed at the brazier and said: "Nanny Chen, tell someone to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the charcoal for the next two days. It's cold, so it will be extra wasteful."
Nanny Chen nodded: "Yes, madam."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mi Chun came back from outside.
She looked unhappy, and as soon as she entered the room, she sat awkwardly on a stool at the side, twisting her clothes with tears in her eyes.
Concubine Shu Gui teased, "What's wrong with you?"
Mi Chun said angrily, "My queen, when I just came back, I met Yin Da Ying. She said that I stole her hairpin and sent her personal maid to search my body. If it weren't for Concubine Xian's rescue, I would be standing naked in front of the corridor now!" Concubine
Shu Gui and Nanny Chen looked at each other, and both of them had deep eyes.
Nanny Chen stepped forward and pulled Mi Chun up: "Okay, don't be sad, you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get charcoal first, just in time to relax."
Mi Chun stood up, brushed her sleeves and said in a deep voice: "My queen, what do you think the prime minister is thinking? It's not enough for you to bring honor to the family alone, he even let Yin Da Ying enter the palace. Isn't this clearly looking for your displeasure?"
As soon as the voice fell, Concubine Xian walked in.
"Sister, I saw that there was no one outside, so I came in directly. I hope you won't be angry with me?"
