Concubine Xian sat firmly in the palace. Seeing the changes in the palace, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
He said to the fifth prince in a good mood: "Qi'er, I don't know how many more people can die this time."
The fifth prince asked: "What does the mother-in-law want to do?"
Concubine Xian looked deeply at the fifth prince: "What do you think of Qi'er?"
The fifth prince pondered for a moment and said: "Concubine Shu must have poisoned the father. The concubine can wait until the father is deeply poisoned to remind him. When the time comes, the father will fight back and kill the third brother and his father." Concubine Shu, destroy the Li family."
"Let's ask my uncle to send someone to take advantage of the Li family's rebellion, disguise themselves as people from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and kill Concubine Zhang and the prince during the chaos."
"Prince An is far away in Shu County and won't be able to come back for a while. But my mother and concubine can save him. When the time comes, my son's chance will come..."
Concubine Xian nodded with satisfaction: "My son is smart."
The fifth prince bowed his head humbly: "It all depends on my mother and concubine to give me advice from time to time."
Concubine Xian was very satisfied with the fifth prince's humble attitude.
The mother and son chatted in detail for a while about the follow-up arrangements before the fifth prince stood up and left.
After leaving the palace of Concubine Xian for a long time, the fifth prince gradually lost his obedience and became a little anxious. He was only eleven years old and had no one to rely on. If he really ascended the throne at this time, I am afraid that the power would fall to Xian Concubine. In the hands of the imperial concubine and Peng Mansion.
But if we don't seize the opportunity, it's hard to say what will happen next...
Thinking of this, the fifth prince couldn't help but think of Zhao Qingqing.
Some of the people Zhao Qingqing had recruited for him before had little official positions and little power, but there were still some people at that time. I don’t know what happened some time ago. These people were suppressed for various reasons, and there were only a few left. , also broke off contact after Zhao Qingqing killed her husband.
If only Zhao Qingqing hadn't killed An Shaoyu! He can form a force that belongs only to him with the Anding Hou Mansion and the people who spend money to recruit it, and he will not be so passive now!
I don’t know where Zhao Qingqing went?
Did he die or fall into someone's hands?
The fifth prince's face was full of anxiety.
...
The emperor looked increasingly sleepy.
Although the emperor said that everything was under control, the prince still gathered all the secret guards to the East Palace and asked Jun Liu to return with a batch of formed gunpowder.
Shu Yuwan has been pregnant for more than seven months, and she must not be affected at all. She may give birth at any time later, and he does not want any accidents.
"I think my father wants to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate all the hidden dangers that can be exploded, so he has been cooperating with Concubine Shu in her acting. I am afraid that someone will fish in troubled waters and come to the East Palace to hurt you."
After hearing this, Shu Yuwan also became worried: "Ajin, Wen Po and wet nurse, I'm ready, but if the birth happens, what if something happens and the imperial doctor can't come in time?"
"I am going to prepare a trustworthy female doctor to quietly send you to the East Palace as a maid and place her next to you."
Shu Yuwan felt more at ease after hearing this.
The prince then explained: "In addition, there is a dark room in Gu's study. Only Jun Liu knows about it. If the situation is urgent, you can take Yue'er and take refuge in it."
Shu Yuwan nodded, held the prince's hand, and said gently: "With A Jin here, I feel relieved."
The prince scratched Shu Yuwan's nose, and the couple rested.
Shu Yuwan closed her eyes and said silently in her heart, it looks like there will be a big chaos!
I couldn't help but worry about Shu Mansion.
The next day, Shu Yuwan sent Qingdai to deliver a message to Shu Mansion.
After Mrs. Shu received Shu Yuwan's letter, she went to the East Palace to ask for a meeting: "Wanwan, you asked me to come here. Is there something urgent?" Seeing that Shu Yuwan said it was urgent, she hurriedly looked at her from beginning to end as soon as they met. After putting on the jade ribbon, I felt relieved when I saw that my daughter looked good.
Shu Yuwan pulled Mrs. Shu up and said, "Mother, we are all our own people, there is no need to be particular."
"I was thinking that I haven't seen her for a few days and maybe I will give birth to her soon. I miss my mother."
With that said, he waved away the palace man.
After everyone exited, Qingdai stood guard at the door of the room, and Shu Yuwan said: "Mother, the emperor is not feeling well. He has not been in Beijing for a long time, and there may be something unexpected. During this period of time in the palace, he must keep a low profile and guard the door."
"Wanwan?"
Shu Yuwan took a deep look at her mother, nodded and said nothing.
When Mrs. Shu saw it, she immediately understood what her daughter meant.
"Don't worry, mother knows. She will tell your father when she gets back."
He looked at his daughter's belly and said worriedly: "You must also be careful in the East Palace."
Shu Yuwan said with relief: "Don't worry, mother, His Highness the Crown Prince has made arrangements, and nothing will happen to me."
Mrs. Shu returned to her mansion, and as soon as Minister Shu came back, she hurriedly told her husband what happened today.
"It seems that there must be another hidden reason for the emperor's illness."
"If they want to cause chaos, they must be heading towards the palace. They won't come looking for us for a while. We just need to guard the door tightly. The one we really need to be careful about is Yuwan." Shu Shilang said, and warned Mrs. Shu: "Don't mention this matter outside. Even if you are close to someone, don't say a word."
Mrs. Shu nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I know what's appropriate." She added, "Today Wanwan said that His Highness the Prince of the East Palace has made arrangements."
"That's good."
Thinking of what the prince said after the morning court that day, Shi Lang Shu guessed that the prince and the emperor were in a relationship, and he felt relieved after thinking about it.
...
King Cheng disguised himself as a merchant entering the capital, took a team of guards, and some guards lurking in the dark, and pulled a cart of furs to the outside of Shangjing City.
Lou Yi looked at the city gate and said excitedly: "Sir, we have finally arrived in Shangjing."
Several people's faces were disguised, but their original appearance could not be seen.
Taking out the road guide prepared in advance, the city guard soldiers took it and checked the goods. Seeing that there were no problems, they let a few people into the city!
