Chapter 455: Leaving the Palace with a Mission
Even in the middle of the night.
The news soon spread outside the palace.
It reached the ears of King Chen and Shen Lu.
Prince Chen did not sleep all night, waiting for news from the palace.
When he heard that his mother had killed Concubine Shen Zhaoyi and burned down Zhaoyi Palace, he knew that his plan had failed.
As soon as he exerted force, the Buddhist beads in his hand fell to the ground.
Forget it. After all, my mother was of humble origin and her methods and knowledge were far inferior to those of Empress Cao.
After all, I can't rely on her.
Fortunately, he had placed people in the imperial guards, so it was easy for him to poison Shen Lu's food and tea.
It is better to get rid of those who cannot be used by him.
Without Shen Lu, the Imperial Guards would be a mess, and at least half of them could be used by him.
It’s almost the hour of Mao.
Prince Chen dressed neatly, had breakfast, chewed a piece of ginseng to replenish his energy, and then prepared to go to court.
Because of the death of those three little brats in the palace.
He was very sure that his father was about to die or was still in a coma.
Otherwise, my father would remain indifferent to such a big thing and tolerate Yuqing causing chaos in the harem.
Tolerating someone plucking the hair from the tiger's butt.
If we don’t take action now, when will we take action?
Every quarter of an hour later, his chances of winning would be reduced by one point.
He picked up a Gan Nan Buddhist bead on the ground, closed his eyes, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it.
The corners of his lips curled slightly, and he smiled devilishly. He turned and ordered his men, "Go, summon all the civil and military officials to meet the emperor, gather the troops, and follow me into the palace to rescue him and purge his entourage."
…
at this time.
The Queen's Kunning Palace is so quiet.
Miaomiao slept well tonight because Kunning Palace was the farthest from Zhaoyi Shen's bedroom.
I hardly heard anything outside.
But at this moment, someone was tickling her nose with a feather.
"A-choo..."
After sneezing, she opened her eyes lazily.
She stared blankly at the person who woke her up: "Grandma..."
Empress Cao pulled her out of bed without saying a word and asked the palace maid to wash and comb her hair.
"Miaomiao, don't you want to leave the palace and go home? I'll have someone send you out right away."
"Leaving the palace..."
"Now?"
Miaomiao was still a little confused and looked out the window.
It was pitch black, not even daybreak, and I had no idea what time it was.
Is it too early to send her out of the palace now?
I never went to school so early before.
She remembered that she wanted to leave the palace today, and waited for the princess in Kunning Palace for a whole day.
The princess didn't show up until bedtime.
She looked at her grandmother: "Is mother back?"
"Your mother is with her father. Miaomiao is taking Yu'er out of the palace first. She will come back to find you after she finishes her business. You want to see your adoptive mother, but she is waiting for you outside the palace right now."
After the queen finished speaking, she had Xiao Yuer brought in.
The little guy was sleeping soundly in nanny's arms, drooling.
No one wanted to wake him up, so they let him sleep.
Staying with Miaomiao, he seemed to have regained his ability to eat and sleep as before.
Even Miaomiao felt that she had some metaphysics in her.
No wonder the old Taoist priest in Jiangzhou said that she was blessed and that everyone around her could turn misfortune into good fortune.
She returned to her room, secretly cut off three strands of hair, put them into three sachets, and handed them to the queen: "Grandmother, this is the amulet I asked for. One for you, one for mother and one for uncle the crown prince. Don't worry, I will protect Yu'er."
After saying that, he kissed Empress Cao on the face.
She knew without asking that something had happened in the palace. She and Yu'er were there, two small kids, and they couldn't fight anybody. They might even become targets of bad guys.
Staying here will only cause trouble, it’s better to leave the palace.
Besides, her mother is waiting for her.
She was already eager to go home.
Queen Cao was stunned, wiped the saliva off her face, and smiled.
Stroking her granddaughter and grandson's heads, she replied softly, "Okay, grandma will pass it on to them for you. I'm very relieved to leave Yu'er with you. I'll pick you up when the flowers in the Imperial Garden bloom in a few days."
It took a lot of effort to get familiar with my little granddaughter and enjoy the family happiness that is rare in this palace.
This is about to separate.
It is unknown whether we will have the chance to see each other again in the future.
She really couldn't bear to do it.
Miaomiao felt mixed emotions of sadness and joy. When she heard what her grandmother, the Queen, said, she inexplicably wanted to cry.
The brother and sister left the palace in a sedan chair.
With the token given by the emperor, he still had a smooth journey.
When we arrived at the palace gate, the sky was already turning pale.
Miaomiao got off the sedan chair and saw her own carriage at a glance, as well as her mother, aunt Xiuxiu and second brother who were waiting eagerly beside the carriage.
"Mother..."
She ran over and hugged A Niang.
In fact, I have only not seen my mother for four or five months, but it feels like a long time.
She buried her head in her mother's arms, tears rolling down her cheeks.
She really missed her mother and Aunt Xiuxiu so much.
"As long as mother is here, mother will never leave Miaomiao." Lu Qingyao's eyes also turned red.
She also misses her daughter very much.
It was the first time that the mother and daughter were separated for such a long time.
When she was at the frontier, she couldn't sleep all night, wondering whether her daughter had eaten and slept well, whether she would get sick, and whether Princess Yuqing had taken good care of her.
She held her daughter's little face in her hands.
The daughter who had been raised to be plump and fair with great difficulty had become much thinner in less than half a year because of Princess Yuqing.
It seems that she had too high hopes for the princess.
How can the princess take care of her daughter if she can't even take care of herself?
She should have arrived long ago.
If I wasn't worried about Mu Yunji's injury, I would be afraid that if he insisted on holding on, the wound would relapse.
I rushed back a long time ago.
I almost missed the important event and missed my second son’s scientific examination.
Fortunately, it’s just right, everything is still in time.
Xiuxiu's eyes also turned red, but she was not in the habit of crying.
Look up at the sky.
"Mom, where is my brother? When will he come back?" My brother is the only one missing in the family, and Miaomiao misses him very much.
"I will definitely be back this year." Lu Qingyao was kissed several times by her daughter and was now wiping the saliva off her face.
The little girl must have done it on purpose.
After hugging her mother, Miaomiao hugged Aunt Xiuxiu and her second brother one by one.
He also kissed each of them one by one.
"Auntie, did you miss me?"
"I thought about it. Look at you, you are as thin as a monkey. Auntie will make you something delicious when she gets home." Xiuxiu wiped the saliva on her face and wiped it on the little girl's clothes.
Miaomiao: ...
When it was Jiang Ziyan's turn, he blushed and covered his sister's face with his hands: "You are already a grown woman, and you still kiss me, isn't that dirty?"
Miaomiao: ...Second brother actually despises her.
She is indeed a grown-up girl.
But there’s nothing I can do. When I see someone I like, I just want to hug and kiss him/her.
After the family had reminisced about the past, they got on the carriage.
Miaomiao was surprised to find that A'niang actually let a palace maid who had left the palace with her get on the carriage.
Ride in the same car with them.
A'niang was still polite to her.
This palace maid looks a little unfamiliar, and doesn't seem to be from Kunning Palace. She is quite pretty.
Even though she wore the same palace dress as the palace maids, she was still the most outstanding one.
There is a different temperament.
This person...I'm afraid she's not a palace maid.
Miaomiao suddenly realized.
It turned out that she left the palace with a mission.
