Chapter 493: What message does the secret letter convey?



Eunuch Li brought with him many eunuchs and palace maids, who were either carrying or lifting the dirt, hoping to dig out all the dirt in the Imperial Garden and send it behind the Emperor and Empress, to be carried in continuously by the imperial guards.

Several guards had already come out, their faces blackened by the smoke, and they quickly joined the team in covering the fire with earth and putting it out.

After searching the information, the system revealed the situation of the fire inside the Second Prince and Cining Palace to Jun Baozhu.

Jun Baozhu leaned forward, obviously showing some joy and excitement.

[What? The Second Prince is okay? ]

[He led the guards to split open the corridor structure between the main hall and the side hall, and covered it with soil to stop the fire from spreading? ]

[Second Prince, you asked everyone to wet their handkerchiefs and tie them around their mouths and noses to avoid inhaling poisonous fumes?]

[Except for a few guards who were injured and burned by the broken beams, are all others okay? ]

[The injured people also endured the pain and protected the Second Prince? ]

At this point, Jun Baozhu paused, and after listening to the system analysis, he sighed in his heart:

[Okay! I take back what I said before...]

[The Second Prince led the way and did not abandon his men just because of danger, which is why they protected him so much.]

[Perhaps even if the Second Prince had not taken such action before, they would still be loyal to him. But at this moment, they should recognize him from the bottom of their hearts, regardless of his identity.]

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of footsteps was heard at the palace gate.

The Emperor, Empress, Concubine Li and the Crown Prince, without caring about their own safety, all rushed forward to greet them.

The second prince escorted the guards out. All of them were exhausted, but their faces were filled with joy.

"Father, Madam, the fire has been stopped!"

"Okay, okay! You guys have worked hard!"

The emperor personally supported the second prince, the crown prince asked the guards to come forward to support the injured guards, and Eunuch Li ordered the eunuchs from a distance to go in for another check.

"ah!"

Everyone was shocked. The second prince fainted due to excessive fatigue just after taking a few steps.

After Concubine Li made a diagnosis, she confirmed that the Second Prince was fine. She gave him acupuncture and let him sleep for a while. No one had the appetite to eat and everyone went back to rest.

The prince's guards reported, and two guards confirmed that during the fight, they found that the murderer's hair was crooked and a little strange...

It's like a wig.

Finally, the case was solved.

After reporting the situation to the emperor, the crown prince went to look for the seventh and eighth princes overnight to discuss arrangements for departure the next day.

Jun Baozhu returned to Qiwu Palace and fell into a deep sleep without even drinking any milk. Her snoring was louder than that of an adult man.

When Concubine Li saw this, she felt both pity and heartache.

Thinking of the way the Queen Mother once looked at her, Concubine Li felt uneasy for some reason and could only hold her daughter tightly in her arms.

Jun Baozhu slept very uneasily that night.

After coming to Dafeng Dynasty, I ate and slept, slept and ate, ate melons until I was full, and never dreamed.

That night, she was haunted by nightmares.

In the dream, the queen treated her gently, coaxed her and hugged her, but Jun Baozhu could not remember what she said.

But I still remember the look in the Queen's eyes, full of love and reluctance.

It was like saying goodbye to her.

[Mother, mother...]

Jun Baozhu felt uneasy and called out unconsciously.

The scene switched to Concubine Li, who was standing far away from her. She waved hard at her mother, but her mother didn't come over.

With a very relieved look on his face, he smiled and nodded at Jun Baozhu, as if saying goodbye to her...

After turning around, he turned into ashes in an instant!

【Mother! 】

Jun Baozhu was frightened awake, with tears still hanging on her eyelashes, but this time, her mother was not like usual. She would wake up as long as she moved the slightest.

Concubine Li had beads of sweat on her forehead and was not sleeping well.

[Mother, what's wrong? ]

[Mother, did you also have a nightmare? ]

Jun Baozhu tried hard to turn over and crawl towards her mother, but unfortunately, she could only kick her four legs in the air like a little turtle, feeling anxious.

Physical burden!

The system detected Jun Baozhu's movements and revealed the latest situation to her.

[Seventh Prince and Eighth Prince, have you already set out overnight? ]

[So soon? Didn't you say you would leave in the morning? ]

[What? Prince Brother is worried that the Queen Mother has escaped, there are unusual movements at the border, and he is worried that the night will be long and full of troubles, so he wants to shorten the time on the road? ]

[Before leaving, they all carried secret letters and tokens from their father? ]

[Secret message? 】

[What message does the emperor want to convey? 】

[What? An imperial edict of apology? After returning to the palace, Father was unable to sleep or eat, so he personally wrote this imperial edict of apology? ]

[Father, are you worried that these civil officials and military generals left the court due to disappointment or threats, wasting their youth, and are worried that they may not be willing to come out when the court summons them?]

【What is written in the edict of repentance? 】

[The Crown Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the Eighth Prince all had tears in their eyes after seeing this? ]

[The edict of self-criticism represents the sincerity of the emperor, apologizing to the loyal ministers and generals, and confessing the mistakes he had made. 】

[Let them see if this emperor is still worth pursuing? ]

[Father asked his own prince to personally visit him three times, which was also a sign of his sincerity, wasn't it?]

[Although, compared to the injustices suffered by those loyal ministers and those who died unjustly, the grievances and regrets they encountered are just a drop in the bucket...]

[But the emperor did not reveal it, and did not let it go lightly. The emperor promised that when everything was settled, he would issue an edict of apology to the world and abdicate himself.]

[Those who came out of seclusion to assist in the administration, and those loyal ministers and generals who were persecuted and died unjustly before, will be rewarded and compensated according to their merits? ]

[This means that once all crises are resolved, the Crown Prince will take the throne? ]

[What did the prince say after seeing this? 】
