Feng Tianyu told Ren Xifeng: "You also know that there is a burden in our family. My father is afraid that something will happen to me and won't let me go out, so you have to do this. Go to the palace to see the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince has a good relationship with Ah Heng. Now that the Ninth Prince and the Seventh Prince are not in the capital, no one can persuade Ah Heng. But the Sixth Prince may be able to!"
Feng Tianyu mentioned this, and Ren Xifeng was also overjoyed, "Yes! How could I forget about the Sixth Prince! Ah Heng's current state is so unstable, others can't do anything, but someone like the Sixth Prince may be able to calm her down. In this world, apart from the Seventh Prince, the person who can best use stillness to control movement should be the Sixth Prince. Hey, Tianyu, you have made a great contribution. I will go to the palace now, and you wait for my good news in the mansion!"
Ren Xifeng was a man of action, and she did what she said. She ran straight to the palace from the Prime Minister's Mansion. But when she arrived at the palace gate, she realized how to get in. She was not like Feng Yuheng, who had the qualifications to enter and leave the palace at will. Although she was the daughter of General Pingnan, it was not easy for her to enter the palace. Unless the master invited her, she could not enter.
Ren Xifeng stopped at the gate of Deyang with a worried look on her face. The servant driving the carriage reminded her: "The master also went into the palace today and hasn't come out yet! Miss, why don't you wait at the gate of the palace and let the master think of a solution when he comes out."
"No." Ren Xifeng shook her head. "After all, this is a little girl's matter. How can I let my father get involved?" She thought for a while and came up with an idea. She immediately reached into her sleeve pocket and took out the purse. Then she picked out two of the largest silver ingots and held them in her hand. She got out of the car and handed them to a guard at the gate. Then she said, "Brother, I am from the Pingnan General's Mansion. I have something to ask Eunuch Zhang Yuan. Can you please let me know?"
Although the imperial guards guarding the palace did not recognize Ren Xifeng, they could guess his identity by looking at his dress and hearing him introduce himself. They were all Xuan Tianming's men, so they naturally knew the relationship between Ren Xifeng and Feng Yuheng, and they also knew that the Pingnan General's Mansion was on the side of the Ninth Prince. So the soldier did not make it difficult, took the silver and turned around to report. Ren Xifeng waited outside for two incense sticks, and finally saw Zhang Yuan following the soldier out of the palace.
She hurried forward and greeted him warmly: "Eunuch Zhang, Ah Heng asked me to come find you." Ren Xifeng was very smart and directly reported Feng Yuheng's name. On the one hand, Zhang Yuan would not refuse to help her, and on the other hand, it would also let these imperial guards hear that with Feng Yuheng's aura, it would be easier to let her enter the palace.
When Zhang Yuan heard that it was Feng Yuheng who asked him to come, he quickly asked what happened. Ren Xifeng pulled him aside and whispered, "Something happened to Ah Heng, and I came to see the Sixth Prince. But I can't get into the palace, so I have no choice but to trouble Eunuch Zhang to help think of a way to bring me in and let me see the Sixth Prince."
Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes. It turned out that he had just made it up! However, Feng Yuheng was in trouble, which surprised him. He wanted to ask what happened, but this was not the place to talk, so Zhang Yuan nodded and said to Ren Xifeng: "Let's go to the palace first!"
Zhang Yuan was someone close to Emperor Tianwu. It was easy for him to bring someone into the palace. The Imperial Guards let him go without even asking any questions. What a joke. Who dares to mess with someone close to Emperor Tianwu? The old emperor valued this eunuch more than his own life. If it weren't for this eunuch accompanying him all day, I'm afraid the old emperor would have been furious again.
From Deyang Gate to Qiankun Palace, Ren Xifeng briefly told Zhang Yuan about Feng Yuheng's situation. Zhang Yuan sighed: "There has been no news from outside the palace for a long time. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Miss Ren is right to come. As long as it can help Princess Yu, no matter what method is used, it must be tried. I will take you to Qiankun Palace now, and you will definitely be able to meet the Sixth Prince."
The two walked all the way to Qiankun Palace, but they found that the Sixth Prince was discussing matters in the palace. The morning court had not yet ended at this time. Ren Xifeng was puzzled, and after asking around, he found out that he was talking about the winter disaster in the North Realm. It was winter, and the climate in the North Realm had changed suddenly. The disaster that occurred every year could not be successfully avoided this year.
Ren Xifeng stood outside the palace listening to the noise inside, just as the Sixth Prince was furious. The winter disaster in the North Territory caused half of the army to withdraw due to the war in the East Territory, but the remaining half did not receive timely military supplies. Now there is not enough food and grass, and the barracks have to rely on purchasing by themselves to ensure that the generals guarding the pass can eat well and wear warm clothes. However, the North Territory is already barren, and grain seeds will not grow even if buried in the ground. The food that the people eat is transported from other provinces, so how can it meet the needs of the army? Seeing that the soldiers are about to starve, how can the Sixth Prince not be anxious.
But the court officials also said that although winter had just begun, the snow in the north had already started falling in late autumn, and it was getting heavier and heavier. It was not that the court did not have food and grass to send to the north, but the road to Tianfu was very difficult after crossing the river, and there were a large number of refugees. The food was looted halfway, and when it was sent to the Beijie camp, not even half of the food was left.
Ren Xifeng frowned as she listened. Zhang Yuan whispered to her, "It's nothing new. These things happen every year. The northern border is a cold place. It would be strange if there were no disasters. What's more, Qianzhou has been included now. Our Dashun has to bear more of the people of Qianzhou. It was like this every day in the previous dynasty. Although I don't know what's happening outside the palace, I know everything about the palace. The Sixth Prince is so busy that he often doesn't sleep all night long. Even so, he still can't finish handling government affairs." Zhang Yuan said, shaking his head and sighing, "The Sixth Prince is too serious. When the emperor was in charge of these things in the past, he would mostly throw them to the ground and tell the ministers to do whatever they want and not to bother him with anything. The court officials would do things very well, and no one dared to fool around. But the Sixth Prince doesn't dare! He is the regent, and so many eyes are watching him! If there is any mistake, people will make a fuss about it. I really don't see what's so good about this position of managing the world's major affairs."
Ren Xifeng had the same idea. Everyone wanted to be the emperor, and they were even willing to kill their brothers and fathers for it. However, they did not know that the burden on the emperor was higher than the sky. Once he sat on the throne, it was not just as simple as enjoying the worship.
"Last night, the Sixth Prince went to see Concubine Li again." Zhang Yuan gossiped in a low voice, "I heard that she looked particularly unhappy when she came out. In the middle of the night, there was a commotion in Jingsi Palace that Concubine Li was going to hang herself. The Sixth Prince had just gone to bed when he was called over, and he stayed there until dawn today." Zhang Yuan shook his head as he spoke. At this time, he saw a eunuch coming out of the Qiankun Palace. He quickly waved to him and called the young eunuch over.
The eunuch was about to bow when he saw Zhang Yuan, but was stopped by Zhang Yuan. He then said to Ren Xifeng, "He is the eunuch who serves as the Sixth Prince's attendant. His name is Sun Rang." He also introduced Sun Rang, "This is the daughter of General Pingnan. She is here to see the Sixth Prince. I will introduce her to you after we leave."
When Sun Rang heard that it was someone from the Pingnan General's Mansion, he quickly said, "The old general is also in there!"
Ren Xifeng said quickly, "Don't disturb my father. I'm here to see the Sixth Prince." After thinking for a moment, he added, "Princess Yu asked me to come."
She mentioned Feng Yuheng's name, and with Zhang Yuan's introduction, this matter seemed very logical. Zhang Yuan had to go back to take care of Emperor Tianwu, so it was inconvenient for him to stay for long. After introducing the two, he took his leave. Sun Rang accompanied Ren Xifeng to wait in the palace, and said to Ren Xifeng: "Miss, don't worry, I will take you in after the court is over."
Fortunately, it didn't take too long before the court was dismissed. Ren Xifeng stood behind a pillar, hiding her body as much as possible so that no one could see her. This hiding allowed her to hear the conversations among the court officials. Someone said, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince is too indecisive! He is undecided between the refugees and the soldiers guarding the border. In my opinion, the border is a big deal, and food and grass should be sent to the border first. As for refugees, there are refugees every year, and there are people who freeze to death every year, but I haven't heard of people freezing to death in any place because of this."
Some people also said: "The Sixth Prince has changed a lot now. I used to think that he was just a scholar, a good-for-nothing scholar! Apart from editing books for Dashun, what else can we expect from him? But now he is in charge of the post of regent, and he looks like a real person. Look, he even loses his temper!"
"That's pretty good!" Someone sighed. "Even when the Sixth Prince loses his temper, he is relatively calm. Think about it, what if the regent is the Ninth Prince?"
"It would be great if it was the Ninth Prince!" someone shouted, "Let alone the Ninth Prince, even with the Princess Yu around, Dashun's future would have infinite possibilities, and all of them are exciting!"
Ren Xifeng listened to the people talking and felt very sorry for the Sixth Prince. Being the regent was a thankless job. People thought you were not in the right position, but you had to control the country. The hardship involved was not something that ordinary people could understand.
She hid behind the pillar, watching the court officials leave one after another, including her father, General Pingnan, and Feng Tianyu's father, Feng Qing. She didn't go back to Sun Rang until everyone had left. She was about to say that she was going to see the Sixth Prince now! But she saw the palace servants in the Qiankun Palace retreating one by one. One of them said to Sun Rang, "The Sixth Prince has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the palace, and he doesn't need anyone to serve him."
"Why is this happening?" Sun Rang was puzzled, and Ren Xifeng was even more puzzled. Sun Rang asked those who came out, "Why won't you let me in?"
The other party replied: "His Highness said that no one is allowed to enter."
Sun Rang frowned and said to Ren Xifeng, "It shouldn't be like this! I followed you from the palace. Your Highness never hides anything from me, but there is no reason to say anything now."
Ren Xifeng thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I go in and take a look! Princess Yu's situation is also very urgent. If the Sixth Prince blames her, Princess Yu will bear the responsibility." She mentioned Feng Yuheng again, and after Sun Rang nodded in agreement, she couldn't help but sigh that Feng Yuheng was really well-respected! As long as she was mentioned, everything would go smoothly.
She shook her head and smiled bitterly, then walked into the main hall. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the inner hall, she heard the door behind her close. She just saw the figure of the Sixth Prince, but she saw that the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng was spitting out blood uncontrollably...
