Chapter 606 Death Warrant
Bu Shengyan followed closely behind, knelt down and bowed: "The daughter-in-law pays respects to the mother."
Concubine Hui was very surprised when she saw the two of them.
"Isn't tonight your wedding night? Why did you suddenly come to the palace instead of staying in the palace?"
Luo Yechen asked in confusion: "Didn't you send someone to send us a letter saying that our father was seriously ill and asked us to come to the palace immediately?"
Concubine Hui frowned, "Since the Emperor vomited blood, the Weiyang Palace has been under martial law. I have been staying in the Weiyang Palace. Not to mention passing on messages to the outside world, I am not even allowed to take a look outside."
Luo Yechen became more and more confused: "But the person who sent me the message was indeed the eunuch of Yaohua Palace. I have seen him before. His name seems to be Fu Lin."
Concubine Hui: "I do have a eunuch named Fu Lin in my palace, but I didn't let him leave the palace to look for you."
Bu Shengyan listened to the conversation between mother and son, and the more she listened, the more she felt something was not right.
She couldn't help but interrupt.
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with Fu Lin."
In fact, she had a deeper suspicion, but because there were outsiders standing nearby, she didn't dare to say too much.
Luo Yechen was a little panicked: "What should we do now?"
Concubine Hui was more panicked than he was, but in order not to worry her son, she tried to act calm and soothed him in a gentle voice.
"Son, it's okay. This is the imperial palace. There are guards everywhere. No one dares to act rashly here. Since you are here, go in and see the emperor, and pay your respects to the empress dowager."
Luo Yechen: "What about you? Aren't you going in to accompany your father?"
Concubine Hui smiled very reluctantly: "I'm tired, I want to go back and rest for a while."
Luo Yechen wanted to ask more questions but was interrupted by Bu Shengyan.
"Since you are tired, go back and rest. We will visit you later."
Concubine Hui smiled at her.
If it were any other time, Concubine Hui would definitely say a few more words to this new daughter-in-law.
But now is really not the time to talk.
Concubine Hui could only omit all those polite words and say only the most important thing.
"Help me keep an eye on the King."
Bu Shengyan nodded: "My daughter-in-law understands.
Concubine Hui felt a little relieved. This daughter-in-law seemed to be smart. With her around, nothing would happen to the King of England.
Under the supervision of two strong maids, Concubine Hui got on the sedan chair and headed towards Yaohua Palace.
Luo Yechen stood there and watched Concubine Hui's sedan go away.
He muttered, "Mother doesn't look very well. Is she feeling unwell?"
Bu Shengyan: "The emperor is suddenly seriously ill. As someone who serves the emperor personally, Concubine Hui will definitely be implicated."
Luo Yechen finally reacted: "My mother was punished?"
"I think so."
Luo Yechen immediately became anxious: "I will go and ask my grandmother and father to show mercy and spare my mother!"
Bu Shengyan held him back: "At this moment, the more you say, the more mistakes you will make. The wisest thing to do is not to say a single unnecessary word. As long as the emperor is safe and sound in the end, Concubine Hui will be fine."
Luo Yechen blurted out: "But what if something happens to my father?"
Only after he finished saying this did he realize that what he said was extremely disrespectful, and he subconsciously looked around.
There were many guards standing not far away, but it seemed that they did not hear what he just said.
Bu Shengyan whispered, "If something really happens to the emperor, the situation in the palace will change. By then, we must prepare for the worst."
Although she was just a woman, she had heard something about the situation in the court.
Apart from the emperor, the most powerful person in the court now is Qin Zhong, because he holds half of the military power of the Dasheng Dynasty.
The second is the prince.
The prince is in charge of the Ministry of Justice and has a high reputation among the people. He also has a very good relationship with the Prince of Chenliu County. The 50,000 Chixiao Army of Chenliu County is no pushover.
Neither of these two people can be afforded by the King of England.
But the King of England also has the title of the eldest son.
If someone deliberately wanted to seize power, the identity of the eldest prince would be a death warrant for him.
Seeing that the two of them had been standing there without moving, the guards not far away began to look towards them frequently.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Luo Yechen and Bu Shengyan stopped talking and walked into Weiyang Palace.
Although they were mentally prepared, Luo Yechen and Bu Shengyan were still shocked when they saw the emperor dying.
They didn't expect that the emperor was so seriously ill.
Seeing how weak he looks, it seems like he won't live long.
Luo Yechen's eyes immediately turned red and he knelt beside the bed, sobbing.
"Father, I haven't seen you for just a few days. How come you have become like this?"
Bu Shengyan knelt beside him, lowered her head and wiped her tears.
The Queen Mother's eyes were also red: "Isn't today your wedding day? Why are you here in the palace?"
Luo Yechen sniffed and said, "I heard that my father was seriously ill, and I was really worried, so I brought the princess to the palace to visit my father."
The Queen Mother: "Who told you that?"
Luo Yechen hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.
"It was a young eunuch named Fu Lin from Yaohua Palace. He ran to the Prince of Ying's palace to report that my father was seriously ill and asked me to enter the palace immediately. But I just ran into my mother at the door. She said that she had never let Fu Lin leave the palace. I think this is very strange."
The Queen Mother understood the strangeness as soon as she heard it. Someone must have deliberately brought the King of England into the palace by using the name of Concubine Hui.
If the people who brought the King of England into the palace were in cahoots with those who plotted to murder the Emperor, then their plot must be extremely serious.
The Queen Mother became more and more anxious the more she thought about it.
She subconsciously looked at the emperor, only to find that he still looked sick. Not to mention asking him to take charge of the situation at this time, he couldn't even say a complete sentence.
The Queen Mother turned and looked at Luo Yechen again.
Luo Yechen is the eldest prince after all. It should be okay for him to take charge of the situation at this time.
Bu Shengyan saw what the Queen Mother was thinking and quietly reached out and pinched Luo Yechen on the back of his waist.
Luo Yechen was caught off guard and his face turned pale with pain.
Bu Shengyan immediately asked with concern.
"My Lord, what's wrong with you?
Are you feeling unwell?
You've been busy running around to arrange the wedding today and you're really exhausted.
In the evening, we drank so much wine to entertain the guests.
When you went out just now, you almost tripped over the threshold.
You are already like this, so stop trying to be tough! "
Although Luo Yechen didn't understand Bu Shengyan's meaning, he still cooperated and looked uncomfortable.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother sighed helplessly: "Since you are not feeling well, go down and rest first. I will call you if there is anything."
"Thank you, Grandmother."
Bu Shengyan helped Luo Yechen up.
As soon as they left Weiyang Palace, other concubines, princesses and princes rushed over after hearing the news.
These people gathered around the emperor, talking at once, and each of them expressed great concern for the emperor's illness.
The Queen Mother's gaze wandered over the princes and finally stopped on the fourth prince, Luo Xinran.
Luo Xinran noticed the Queen Mother's gaze and took the initiative to ask.
"Does the Empress Dowager have any instructions?"
The big plot is finally here!
Please give me a monthly ticket!
