Er Rong was a loyal servant who protected her master. When the queen was expelled from the palace and went to Guoan Temple, she voluntarily followed the queen.
Anyway, she was the queen's personal maid, so Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty didn't stop her and let her come with him.
Shouldn't she be living in the courtyard with the Queen now? Why are you running here with your face covered in blood?
Not only Han Xianzong recognized Er Rong, but also Xie Ziyue on the side.
She squinted her eyes so that nothing wrong could be heard in her voice:
"Isn't this Er Rong? Why is there blood all over his body?"
After saying that, he secretly looked at the path where Er Rong came from just now. There were several guards running there. The guards were in a hurry. When they saw Er Rong kneeling in front of His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine, their expressions changed greatly.
Several people hurriedly came forward to plead guilty: "Greetings to the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine, this humble maid sneaked out of the courtyard without permission. The humble servants accidentally lost her and bumped into His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine. Please forgive me for your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine. crime."
"Your Majesty!" Seeing that his identity had been revealed, Er Rong raised his face covered with blood and cried:
"Please, Your Majesty, save our empress! Please, Your Majesty, please save the Queen!"
Save the queen?
Not to mention Han Xianzong and the imperial concubine, Gu Xuan, who was held in Taoxiang's arms, was also confused at this time.
She is now a month-old baby, unlike when she was a child, she was wrapped in layers of swaddling clothes and held horizontally in her arms. Tao Xiang always holds her upright now.
She was startled just now when she saw a palace maid running towards her with disheveled hair in Taoxiang's arms.
She didn't pay much attention to Er Rong. She only knew that she was the queen's personal maid, and she couldn't associate her name with herself.
If the mother-in-law didn't say it, she wouldn't even know.
This Er Rong is quite capable. With so many officers, soldiers and guards guarding her here, she can break through all the difficulties and run out.
She said save the queen, what happened to the queen?
Looking at the blood on Er Rong's body, Gu Xuan thought to herself: Could it be that there are arrogant monks in Guo'an Temple who beat and scold the queen?
"Drag this person down!" Hearing the word 'Queen', Han Xianzong felt upset.
If he hadn't been thinking about the opportunity, what he wanted to do most was to kill the queen.
On such an important day today, this bitch is still trying to cause trouble. Han Xianzong looked bored and coldly ordered a few guards who were trembling on the side.
"Yes!" Several guards breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that His Majesty would punish them, but fortunately His Majesty did not.
With the mentality of exchanging merit for crime, the guards stepped forward and grabbed Er Rong's hand, trying to pull him down.
Er Rong cried and struggled: "Your Majesty, I didn't lie to you. The Queen suddenly became seriously ill and coughed up blood. The blood on my body belongs to the Queen! Your Majesty! Please save the Queen!"
What?
Gu Xuan took a closer look and saw that the blood on Er Rong's body was indeed spraying. It was just because there was too much blood that he had to look carefully to see it.
How much blood did the queen have to vomit?
She was fine when she left the palace before. How come she became so ill after only being here a few months?
Er Rong was so loyal that he didn't know where he got the strength at this time. He actually broke away from the pressure of several guards and kowtowed to Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty.
Seeing that the guards standing around were looking around frequently, and it was almost too late, Han Xianzong did not want to add more killings to the Buddhist land, so he frowned and said to Laifu:
"Go and ask an accompanying imperial doctor to take a look."
His voice was loud and Er Rong heard it too. He couldn't help crying with joy and thanked him repeatedly.
"Yes." Laifu agreed, but he also felt that this was unlucky.
After walking far away, Xie Ziyue asked casually:
"The Queen has only been in Guo'an Temple for a few months, so why is she so sick?"
The blood on Er Rong's body was scary to see. It was hard to imagine that it was spit out by someone.
Who would believe that this is an illness?
"Who knows?" Han Xianzong was completely fed up with the queen. Hearing this, there was only a flash of disgust in his eyebrows, not even any extra curiosity.
Seeing this, Xie Ziyue stopped mentioning this and decided to send someone to inquire privately.
Han Xianzong was in a very bad mood when he encountered such a thing as soon as he left home. Fortunately, everything went smoothly on the rest of the way. When they arrived, the other concubines had been waiting outside the palace for a long time.
Seeing the two people coming, the concubines bowed and followed them.
Because Xie Ziyue is not a queen, she cannot be parallel to Han Xianzong, and her position is slightly behind.
As the only royal heir today, Gu Xuan followed him into the palace even though she was a princess.
But because of her young age, it was definitely impossible for her to kneel by herself. Instead, Tao Xiang held her and knelt at the back.
Master Mowang and Master Yinming were reciting Buddhist scriptures in front of them, and each concubine held three sticks of incense.
When the two masters reminded him, he put the incense into the incense burner in front of him with a pious expression.
In this way, the affairs of the concubines are completed.
Han Xianzong also had to go into the inner hall to worship the tablets of the successive emperors of Dayan. The only people who could go in with him were the queen and the emperor's heirs.
But now the queen is no different from the deposed queen, with only one daughter at her knees... It stands to reason that he can go in alone.
However, Han Xianzong thought about it and asked Taoxiang to pick up the little princess and take her in himself.
Master Mowang is the master of Master Yinming. Master Yinming left with the other concubines. He was waiting for Han Xianzong here, preparing to accompany him into the inner hall.
Seeing Han Xianzong preparing to take the princess with him, he said nothing, but his cloudy eyes seemed to understand everything, and he did not object.
Gu Xuan was hugged by her father, her face full of confusion. Before she could understand the situation, she heard her father explain to the old master in front of her:
"Master Mo Wang, I don't have many heirs now. I only have an eldest princess. Since I am going to offer incense to my ancestors, why not also bring my descendants with me."
It turned out that I was going to offer incense to my ancestors.
Gu Xuan suddenly realized.
However... although her previous history was not very good, she also knew that in ancient times, princes were highly valued. Although she was the eldest princess, she was not qualified to do so.
All of this is to take advantage of the eldest princess. Of course, the most important thing is the father's favor.
Gu Xuan decided to practice calling her father in private for a longer time. Her father was so kind to her, so she must achieve her goal of calling her father as soon as possible!
Her mind was running wild, and she suddenly felt a compassionate gaze falling on her.
When she looked up, she saw Master Mo Wang looking at her with his old eyes that seemed to see everything.
Xie Ziyue hasn't gone out yet because her daughter is in Han Xianzong's arms.
At this moment, when she saw Master Mo Wang staring at her daughter, she felt that he would definitely not agree to Han Xianzong's request, so she couldn't help but stepped forward, intending to reach out and take her daughter back.
