"What? Something happened to the Concubine Dowager?"
Gu Qingcheng accompanied the Queen Mother and the group arrived at Ci'en Temple. The auspicious time had arrived, so they began the blessing ceremony.
Just as the ceremony was going on, a guard rushed in.
He found the young eunuch in Anyi Palace and whispered a few words to him.
The young eunuch's face changed immediately. Not daring to delay, he hurried to Zhao Fu to report.
Although Zhao Furao had a strong psychological quality, he was so shocked by the news that he almost couldn't control his expression.
He pushed the young eunuch aside and came to the guard. "What happened? Tell me!"
Zhao Fu has always been kind and plump, looking like a good old man.
But once he gets angry, his aura is quite terrifying.
The guard swallowed nervously and quickly recounted what had just happened.
Zhao Fu: ...
Well, I'm speechless!
When the Empress Dowager, the Queen and other dignitaries traveled, a whole set of procedures had to be followed along the way, including pre-emptive martial law and street cleaning.
There are fully armed soldiers protecting both sides.
Under normal circumstances, let alone a wild boar, even a bird flying over would be shot dead by the soldiers in advance.
The key point is that this is in the suburbs of Beijing, right at the gate of the capital.
It's not some deep mountain forest, nor is it a remote wilderness. How could it be, just...
"Where's the Concubine Dowager? Is she injured?"
Zhao Fu's plump face was full of concern.
If Min Huang were present, he would be able to hear his inner voice:
[If the Concubine died because of this, it wouldn't be a bad thing.]
[There's always this troublemaker in the harem. Even if the queen can handle it easily, it always makes people uncomfortable!]
In fact, it’s not just Zhao Fu.
I guess everyone in the harem couldn't help but think so when they heard the news that Concubine Xie was in trouble.
Except enemies!
After all, the existence of someone like Concubine Xie basically brings "pain to her loved ones and joy to her enemies."
"Fortunately, someone rescued her in time, and the concubine escaped before the carriage fell off the cliff!"
The guard wiped the sweat from his head and continued to report, "However, the Concubine Dowager was frightened and could not continue on her journey."
Therefore, the large army, including Min Huang, temporarily stopped less than ten miles away from the gate of Ci'en Temple.
Although Concubine Xie was not likable, she was still the Concubine and the emperor's biological mother.
She was nearly injured and was frightened, so she needed to stay where she was to recuperate. As her daughter-in-law and the head of the harem, Queen Gu had to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.
Besides, Min Huang is here too.
"Someone came to rescue us? Wasn't it from the Jinwu Guards?"
Zhao Fu is worthy of being an old man who has been in the harem for more than ten years. He is very sharp and accurately grasps the key point.
If it was the Jinwu Guards who saved the Concubine Dowager, the young guard would not say "someone came to rescue her", but would directly say that the Jinwu Guards had made great contributions in protecting the emperor.
But, even the Jinwu Guards were unable to save him, so which master came to the rescue?
This is indeed the suburbs of Beijing, not a busy city.
Also, because the Empress Dowager and other dignitaries were traveling, local officials had already carried out a "clean-up" and it was impossible for anyone to break in at will.
"It's a little girl! I heard she's from a nearby farm. She went to the mountains to collect herbs and happened to pass by..."
When the guard talked about this, his tone was a little vague!
Zhao Fu widened his eyes and looked at the guard unkindly: Are you treating me like a fool?
Even the Jinwu Guards couldn't save Concubine Xie from the frightened carriage, and an ordinary peasant girl just...
Also, where does the “coincidence” come from?
Zhao Fu had been a eunuch for more than ten years and had seen so many coincidences that he never believed in the existence of the word "coincidence" in the world.
"...Manager Zhao, I didn't lie to you. The other brothers saw this with their own eyes!"
The guard felt Zhao Fu's aggressive gaze and hurried to explain.
To be honest, he completely understood Zhao Fu's reaction.
In fact, it was him, and even though he saw it with his own eyes, it still felt unreal.
Until now, he has been in a state of uncertainty and confusion——
When did that little girl appear?
How did she manage to stop the frightened and mad horse by herself?
“…I was born with supernatural powers!”
Wen Nuan smiled shyly and easily crushed a stone in front of Min Huang.
Min Huang's pupils suddenly contracted.
He would be shocked, not only because the pretty young woman in front of him really had supernatural powers, but also because he couldn't hear her inner voice.
Another one!
Min Huang hadn't yet fully investigated Concubine Yu's "supernatural powers", but unexpectedly, Wen Nuan appeared.
The key point is that this person's appearance was too strange.
Although all her statements were reasonable, the people sent out came back to report and verified Wen Nuannuan's identity.
She is indeed a farmer nearby, and her grandparents, biological parents, brothers and sisters are all still alive.
People in the village also confirmed that Wen Nuannuan grew up here since she was a child.
There was nothing unusual, and no signs of connection with anyone outside.
On the surface, she was just an ordinary woman from a farming family with a clean family background.
However, Min Huang still found something "unusual" in her.
Apart from not being able to hear her inner voice, this person's temperament and conversation were not like those of an ordinary farm girl.
Maybe her performance was not outstanding, but she had a confidence that ordinary people did not have.
There was something unusual about her from the bottom of her heart.
She did not have the humility typical of farmers, nor the timidity typical of farm girls.
Even when facing a "noble person", she can remain calm and talk freely.
