"Master, the Third Prince has recovered. Do you want to go and see him?"
"Okay, let's go check it out! It's about time to send him away."
Lianyi bent down, picked up Xuanfeng, and walked towards the side hall with Lanzhi.
Tornado's current status is much higher than that of ordinary palace maids and eunuchs, because when the palace coup happened that night, many enemies' eyes were scratched by Tornado, which was considered as a meritorious service in protecting her master, so Tornado is now also a cat with status.
In particular, Tornado was deeply loved by the new queen. Many people admired Tornado, and he became more and more comfortable. There was basically no place in the harem where he could not go.
As for the third prince, we have to go back to the night of the abdication. When he saw the emperor and the second prince being shot to death, he knew that the game was over, so he immediately fled under the protection of the death warriors around him.
Unfortunately, the prince at that time was well prepared and had the intention of killing him, so he naturally pursued him relentlessly without leaving him any room for maneuver.
Finally, the Third Prince exchanged outer clothes with the warriors around him, and the warriors led people to attract the attention of the Crown Prince's men, while he himself left the team and went into the rockery in the imperial garden.
He also grew up here as a child and was familiar with everything here. Then the third prince killed a eunuch who was about to hide in the rockery, changed into the eunuch's clothes, smeared blood on his face, and then looked for an opportunity to escape.
Unfortunately, when the prince's men caught up with the substitute, they discovered that it was not the third prince. They immediately sealed off the palace and began a carpet search.
Under pressure, the Third Prince sneaked into the East Palace. After all, the Crown Prince had just been here not long ago, so he could keep out of the darkness. Then he sneaked into the Crown Prince's bedroom. He remembered that there was a secret passage here that could help him escape.
Then he found Lianyi lying on the bed and about to die. He suddenly became furious and prepared to strangle her to death while the palace maid was changing the water.
Lianyi opened her eyes and grabbed the third prince's neck before he could make a move.
"Tsk, Third Prince, why are you still here? Why are you looking for me instead of trying to escape?"
Lianyi asked calmly.
Unfortunately, the Third Prince couldn't answer a single word, because he felt the hand that was pinching his neck was slowly tightening, and he couldn't break free at all. Just as he began to roll his eyes and his face turned purple, he was thrown to the ground.
The third prince did not dare to cough violently, and immediately turned over and prepared to run away. Unfortunately, he fell to the ground the next moment, his legs too weak to stand up, because a black panther slowly walked out of the darkness, jumped up, stepped on him to the ground, making him unable to move, and fainted from fright.
"Xuanfeng, don't scare him to death, he can still be useful if you keep him."
Ripple said to Whirlwind.
"First, take him to the secret passage and get him some medicine. Let him heal himself and don't torture himself to death."
"Yes, Master!"
Xuanfeng agreed, then carried the third prince into the secret passage and began his days of recuperation.
The third prince's injury has healed, and he is now eager to leave the palace, and Lianyi also wants to get rid of this trouble.
So after listening to Tornado's report, she turned and went to the secret passage.
The third prince had been in a daze. Although he survived, he was in a bad mental state, especially because he didn't know why the Crown Princess (he didn't know that Lianyi was already the Queen) wanted to save him.
After hearing the footsteps, the third prince looked up suddenly and saw the beautiful woman in the bright red palace dress, especially the black cat in her arms. He stood up unconsciously.
"Is your injury healed?"
"I'm basically recovered."
"That's good. This is a new set of eunuch uniforms. After you put them on, you will leave with the team that is leaving the palace to deliver gifts this afternoon."
"Thank you!"
The third prince lowered his eyes and replied.
Lian Yi was quite satisfied with the Third Prince's performance. She was about to leave with Xuan Feng in her arms, but the other party suddenly spoke:
"Why are you helping me? Aren't you the Crown Princess?"
"I am the queen now, I am happy!"
Lianyi answered the third prince's two questions somewhat halfheartedly.
"Why?"
The third prince was determined to get an answer.
Lian Yi answered the question irrelevantly:
"You will have to repay me for saving your life today."
The Third Prince glanced at Lian Yi, and hesitated to speak. Lian Yi smiled and continued:
"If you want to deny it, I have my own way to take your life back."
"Won't!"
"That's great, just change your clothes and come out with me!"
"good!"
Lianyi carried Xuanfeng out of the secret passage and waited for half an incense stick of time. Then a handsome little eunuch came out.
After Lianyi handed the person over to Nanny Sun, she didn't ask any more questions.
Because the third prince had not been caught, everyone assumed that he had escaped from the palace, so the inspections within the palace were not as strict. On the contrary, the team leaving the imperial city had to undergo strict inspections, for fear that the third prince would be among them.
But this time the Third Prince left with Meng Guangshen's team. Half of the things in the team were rewards from the Queen. Even if the guards at the city gate had the courage, they did not dare to go up and open it for inspection, and did not pay much attention to the disguised Third Prince.
In the end, the third prince successfully left the imperial city and disappeared afterwards.
The third prince had been missing for a long time, and his body had not been found either alive or dead. This had become a source of worry for the emperor, and he had been secretly sending people to track him down, but he had not paid as much attention to him as before.
Meng Guangshen brought three carts of gifts from the Empress and returned to the border town after a month's journey. Before he had time to wash off the dust, he was called to the study by General Meng and his wife.
"My child greets his father and mother!"
Meng Guangshen bowed respectfully.
"Shen'er, you've worked hard. Sit down and talk."
General Meng was relieved to see his son return safely. Mrs. Meng beside him stopped being so serious and looked her son up and down carefully before pulling her son to sit beside her and asking him detailed questions.
"Did the journey go smoothly?"
“Everything went well!”
"What happened in the Imperial City?"
General Meng is more concerned about this.
Meng Guangshen recounted in detail how the second prince and the third prince joined forces to force the emperor to abdicate, and then the crown prince took advantage of the situation and although he managed to pull the city back, the queen was poisoned to death by Concubine Liang, and the emperor was shot to death by people arranged by the third prince, and the crown prince hastily ascended the throne after the funeral.
"When my son rushed to the imperial city day and night, things had already come to an end. He just dealt with some follow-up matters. I stayed to attend the coronation ceremony, and then contacted the queen in the palace. I rested for a few days before returning."
After Meng Guangshen finished speaking, he thought for a moment before adding:
"The emperor didn't seem to want to make Lianyi the queen. He wanted to postpone the matter by claiming that Lianyi was too seriously injured, and I went there at the right time."
After hearing this, General Meng sighed and understood what his son meant by "just in time".
"What does Ripple say?"
General Meng asked.
"Lian Yi said that everything is under control and told father not to worry. When there is a war in the future, just let you train the Meng family army well."
"She didn't say anything else?"
"No, she prepared three carts of gifts for her son to take back, saying it was a token of her filial piety."
"She has a heart!"
"These are what she should have done. If she were my biological daughter, I would definitely do better than her!"
Mrs. Meng said indignantly.
