Chapter 389 Tang Ning Enters the Palace
Mrs. Zhao's vomiting of blood was stopped by the silver needles, and her face was extremely pale.
"Go, go see His Majesty... I want to see His Majesty..."
"I, I heard their secret. The Zhao family... wants to kill me..."
Eunuch Feng was furious: "How dare they kill people right under the Emperor's feet?!"
He turned to look at Yu Yanfeng: "Commander Yu, this matter of Madam Zhao is of great importance. The Zhao family actually has rebellious intentions. We must send her back to the palace to see His Majesty as soon as possible. The Zhao family members are still in the palace. What if..."
Yu Yanfeng was startled, remembering what had happened to the Zhao family today, and the sudden death of the Fourth Prince's wife. "But His Majesty wants to see Governor Xiao."
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment: "My brother is seriously injured and has been unable to get up. Your Majesty wants to see him?"
Eunuch Feng had no time to explain to Tang Ning, and only said to Yu Yanfeng:
"Your Majesty originally wanted to see Governor Xiao regarding the Fourth Prince's Consort, but now Madam Zhao claims that the Fourth Prince's Consort was murdered by the Zhao family."
"If the Zhao family really sent someone to hunt down Madam Zhao, I'm afraid they have big plans. Governor Xiao is right there, he can't escape. It's better to send Madam Zhao to the palace to see His Majesty first, otherwise something bad might happen."
Seeing Yu Yanfeng's hesitation, Eunuch Feng said, "However, I will take someone to see Governor Xiao to assess his injuries, while Commander Yu will escort Madam Zhao and the others back to the palace."
Yu Yanfeng frowned when he heard this. Seeing that Madam Zhao looked very weak and kept saying that she wanted to see His Majesty.
He said in a deep voice: "Okay, then I will escort Madam Zhao into the palace first."
However, he kept a note of caution: "Princess Xiangning, you were the one who encountered Madam Zhao. I'd like to trouble you to come with me to the palace so that I can explain to His Majesty."
Tang Ning didn't hesitate: "Okay."
Seeing her so decisive, Yu Yanfeng's doubts faded a little.
If there really was something wrong with Xiao Yan, how could Song Tangning dare to follow him into the palace so easily? Moreover, the affairs of the Zhao family and the death of the Fourth Prince's wife were indeed extremely strange.
"Eunuch Feng, please pay attention to Governor Xiao."
"Zajia knows."
Yu Yanfeng did not dare to delay and quickly had Madam Zhao carried onto the carriage. He asked Imperial Physician Yuan to stay behind to protect Madam Zhao from the poison, while Imperial Physician Jiang followed Eunuch Feng and more than 20 guards to Jiyun Lane.
Tang Ning pulled the curtain and said, "Eunuch Feng, please tell my brother about this and tell him that I'm going to the palace to see His Majesty and won't be back until later, so that he won't worry."
Eunuch Feng nodded: "Okay."
The group went their separate ways, and Yu Yanfeng brought his men to protect Madam Zhao and the others as they rushed into the palace.
As the carriage started moving, Imperial Physician Yuan carefully gave Madam Zhao acupuncture to suppress the poison in her body. Madam Zhao, whose face was extremely pale, tightly grasped Tang Ning's hand beside her.
There was blood on her lips, her knuckles were white from exertion, and she was still trembling slightly.
Tang Ning knew that she was nervous, so he gently held her hand back to reassure her.
"Don't be afraid, Madam Zhao. Once you enter the palace and see His Majesty, no one will dare to hurt you again."
When Mrs. Zhao saw that the little girl beside her looked calm, her panicked heart gradually calmed down.
On the other side, when Eunuch Feng turned around and wanted to get on the carriage, Yue Jian, with blood on his arm, supported him.
"Eunuch Feng, be careful."
Eunuch Feng was holding something in his hand, his face expressionless. "The girl's injury looks serious. Doctor Jiang, please take a look at her and make sure she doesn't break any bones."
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Jiang didn't think much about it. He stopped getting on the carriage and started to check Yuejian's injuries. However, Eunuch Feng lowered the curtain and quickly turned around to open the thing in his hand. After a quick glance, his face changed drastically and he almost couldn't help but curse.
Xiao Yan is so bold!
He is crazy!
"The girl's injury is not serious. It didn't hurt the bones. I have some medicine here. Just apply it on the wound."
"Thank you, Doctor Jiang."
Hearing the noise outside, Eunuch Feng quickly crumpled up the small piece of paper and threw it into his mouth. Just as he swallowed it, he saw the curtain being lifted and Doctor Jiang entered the carriage.
"Eunuch Feng, are you going to Jiyun Lane?"
Eunuch Feng's face darkened: "Go, let's go."
…
After the people on both sides left, the area that was previously isolated by the Royal Guards finally relaxed.
The people surrounding on both sides had already vaguely heard the noise from inside. The movement of the Imperial Guards was already quite noisy, not to mention that they heard someone committing a crime under the emperor's feet.
"Who is so bold as to kill someone in the street?"
"I just heard about Rongsheng Academy, and I also heard that military officer call Princess Xiangning."
"Zhao family, which Zhao family is it? How bold..."
People around had already started talking about it, and the news spread, and the phrase "The Zhao family killed me" also made people excited.
…
All the Zhao family members in the palace were waiting in the imperial study. Zhao Yuanlang and Old Madam Zhao both had red eyes. Cui Lin, Feng Qiuli, Cao Dejiang, and the people in charge of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple stood quietly by. Emperor An at the top had an unpredictable expression.
The hall was very quiet, and only occasionally could one hear the sound of Old Madam Zhao covering her face and sobbing.
Hearing that Yu Yanfeng had returned, Emperor An was surprised at how quickly it happened and said, "Let him in."
Yu Yanfeng walked in quickly, but there was no trace of Xiao Yan behind him.
Emperor An: "Where is Xiao Yan?"
Yu Yanfeng said, "Your Majesty, I haven't been to Jiyun Lane yet. I encountered something on the way and came back first. Eunuch Feng has gone to see Governor Xiao with the imperial physician."
Seeing Emperor An's face darken, Yu Yanfeng quickly said:
"I, Eunuch Feng, and I were on the way to Jiyun Lane with the imperial physician, ordered by Your Majesty. On the way, we met Madam Zhao. Madam Zhao begged to see Your Majesty, so I took her back to the palace first."
When the Zhao family heard this, their faces changed.
Cui Lin and the others also looked puzzled and looked up at the Zhao family.
Zhao Yuanlang said, "Commander Yu, what nonsense are you talking about? My wife caught a cold last night and is resting in the mansion today..."
Yu Yanfeng glanced at the Zhao family, without replying to Zhao Yuanlang's words, but bowed to Emperor An and said:
"Mrs. Zhao was poisoned and was being hunted down. She happened to meet Princess Xiangning who was coming out of Rongsheng Academy. Princess Xiangning had someone rescue her because she had seen Madam Zhao's appearance."
"Madam Zhao said that it was the Zhao family who wanted to kill her because she knew the Zhao family's secrets. Princess Xiangning felt that the matter was of great importance, so she met me on the way to escort her into the palace."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could my Zhao family kill the wife of the Zhao family?!"
Old Madam Zhao's face was filled with rage, but if you looked closely you could see panic in her eyes.
How could her daughter-in-law be poisoned and hunted by someone?
She had clearly only been drugged to make people sleep, and she had ordered people to keep her in the mansion to prevent any trouble. So why was she out there, and with that Xiangning Princess?!
Cui Lin was also shocked. He accidentally found out that Xiao Yan was most likely pretending to be seriously injured, and that his plan to set up the Lingyun Temple was discovered by the Zhao family, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation, but who knew that there would be a sudden turn of events.
He looked at the Zhao family, who were obviously in chaos, in surprise. What was the Zhao family doing?
