Chapter 182 Don’t You Want to Give It?
As the news spread.
Autumn hunting is suspended.
The atmosphere in the entire royal hunting ground was tense.
Many ministers stayed in their rooms and did not dare to step out of the palace.
In front of each palace, there were two guards standing guard, their hands always tightly grasping their swords, never letting go.
In the side hall.
Duan Chunrou, Jin Weige and Wen Chuyun live together.
Although we were in different rooms, the distance was close enough that we could hear every sound clearly.
Jin Weige sat on the couch in the hall and snorted coldly, "This Concubine Zhao is so favored that the emperor even arrested all the imperial guards for her."
Xiyue beside him whispered, "Your Majesty, I heard that there seems to be a traitor among the Imperial Guards. The assassination was done by the Imperial Guards. This matter concerns the safety of the Emperor. The Emperor must consider the safety of the entire palace, and it is definitely not for Concubine Zhao."
Jin Weige's eyebrows relaxed a little, "You are right."
But then, she became a little worried, "I never thought that the Imperial Guards would be so unreliable. Fortunately, nothing happened to the emperor. My brother hasn't come to see me since he came back, but did he help the emperor with this matter?"
Xiyue smiled, "Of course, I saw with my own eyes today that the young master captured those imperial guards. If the young master can accomplish his mission this time, Your Majesty will surely be able to return to the position of consort."
"Well, I know my brother's abilities..." Although Jin Zhi had hurt her heart many times, as a sibling, Jin Weige knew his abilities very well and would definitely be able to find the traitor and perform great deeds.
As soon as he finished speaking, a palace maid came in with breakfast.
Chun Xing walked out of the room and went forward to get it. But before he could go back, Jin Weige stopped him and said, "Wait, let me see what you have in here."
Chun Xing didn't dare to refuse and had to open the food box.
Jin Weige saw the silver thread roll inside at a glance, which was still steaming. "Bring the silver thread roll here, I need it."
“My queen…”
"Why, you don't want to give it to me? I am a concubine, and your master is just a beauty. If I can't eat enough, she must give up her food!"
Xiyue didn't give Chunxing a chance to speak, and immediately took out the silver thread roll, "Okay, go ahead."
Chun Xing pursed her lips and walked in quickly.
Jin Weige snorted coldly, "Throw that silver scroll away."
She is not as good as Bai Wutong now and cannot take any action.
Can't you handle a little beauty?
Since Duan Chunrou chose to stand on Bai Wutong's side, she is her enemy!
As long as there is a chance, she will definitely not be polite!
In the room on the east side.
Chun Xing opened the food box with grievance, "Madam, Concubine Jin took away the silver thread roll. Now there is only a bowl of pumpkin porridge and a pile of side dishes left."
"It's okay, there are always some left." Duan Chunrou was not angry. She was good friends with Bai Wutong and had already expected that Jin Weige would deal with her.
But this is all she can do. The situation outside is so tense now that no one dares to cause any real trouble.
"Your Highness, that Jinpin is only a concubine, yet she dares to call herself the palace. It's really laughable. She thinks she is a noble concubine!" Chun Xing was indignant for Duan Chunrou while preparing the meal. "Your Highness, if you were also a concubine, you wouldn't have to be afraid of her. You suffered this misfortune because of Zhaofei. Why don't you talk to her and let her say a few good words in front of the emperor to get you promoted?"
"No need. Once you enter the harem, as long as you are not favored and have a low position, there are few who don't suffer a little grievance. It's nothing." Duan Chunrou was not affected by this matter. She ate and drank as usual.
As for the matter of promotion, she didn't want to mention it now. If her father was willing to help and made contributions, she believed that Bai Wutong would do the same without her having to mention it.
This little episode did not cause any waves in the palace.
Bai Wutong changed the medicine and felt much better. He leaned against the head of the bed and took the medicated food.
In this palace, apart from the emperor, she is the one who eats the best.
"What's the situation outside now?"
Yingchun replied, "Your Highness, it's very scary outside now. There are guards everywhere and no one is allowed to go out. I saw that the guards were holding knives. Before, a minister wanted to go out to see the emperor, but he drew his knife and frightened the man so much that he took a step back."
"Yeah." It seems that everything is as Bai Wutong expected.
In this heavy and depressing atmosphere as if a storm is about to come, I think the Duke of Zhenguo should be a little worried.
This is exactly the effect he wants, and it makes him more and more worried.
Next, there is a second step!
In the afternoon.
Several corpses were dragged out and thrown into the hunting ground, left to be eaten by falcons in the sky.
When everyone in the palace heard the news, they all came out and stood inside the door to watch.
"That's the Imperial Guard. Judging from the injuries, I'm afraid he died from torture."
"The emperor is really ruthless."
"Shut up! What are you talking about? You have no right to interfere in the Emperor's affairs!"
…
Various sounds filled the air.
Everyone has different thoughts, but what is the same is that they all feel the seriousness of the situation.
Not only has the autumn hunting been suspended, but all the Royal Guards have been captured, and now several of them are dead. It has been a long time since such a big thing happened.
Wen Zhemao stood in front of another palace door with a grim look on his face.
All of them were assigned to different palaces, each living in a room.
The Duke of Zhenguo was in the courtyard on the other side of the emperor. They were so far apart that they couldn't even send messages to each other at the moment.
He clenched his fists, feeling worried.
Wen Zhemao had felt that this matter was too risky, but the Duke of Zhenguo was determined to do so.
As long as Bai Wutong dies, the queen will definitely raise the prince.
They would then push someone to the position of crown prince, and then find ways to slowly undermine the emperor's power, and finally support the young crown prince to take the throne and achieve the goal of becoming regent.
Even the Duke of Zhenguo had an extra urge. Seeing that Bai Wutong was so favored, he had specially found some beautiful women and ordered them to lose weight and have slender waists like willows. He was just waiting for Bai Wutong to die so that he could send them into the palace for various purposes.
After the emperor became obsessed with beauty, his control over state affairs naturally weakened.
The Duke of Zhenguo then ordered these women to secretly give the emperor all kinds of tonic substances that were bad for the body, causing the emperor to ruin his health at a young age. In the end, even if he didn't want to abdicate, he couldn't.
Every step is extremely insidious!
I thought that the Wen family, the Duke of Zhenguo, and the Jin family were the only ones who were involved. They had also arranged a crazy horse, a killer, in advance. Killing a woman was as easy as taking something from a bag.
But unexpectedly, it failed!
In order to avoid being exposed, he even resorted to using hidden agents in the Imperial Guards to kill these assassins.
Now the Emperor has begun to take action against the Imperial Guards. They are really losing more than they gain!
