"Interior Minister, what should we do??"
Outside the royal study, a royal guard returned to report the news, with an anxious look on his face that could not be concealed.
"Wait!"
Dai Quan waved his hand with a hint of impatience in his tone.
But he still remembered that an hour ago, Emperor Mingkang personally issued an order that he would worship his ancestors and pray for the longevity of the country, and no one should disturb him.
Although Dai Quan didn't know what Emperor Mingkang was thinking, he knew clearly that if he broke in at this time, he would probably die without a complete body, or even the kind that would implicate the nine clans.
"Interior Minister, the imperial concubine has been assassinated. How can we wait for such an urgent matter!!"
The Imperial Guard guard was so anxious that he almost jumped.
Dai Quan narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
"Wait!"
"The imperial edict has been issued. You are not allowed to enter without being summoned. Anyone who violates this will be implicated. The nine tribes will be implicated!!"
Dai Quan's voice had a hint of coldness. The Yu Linwei standing next to him had already locked eyes with this man. His eyes were cold. They were all present when the imperial edict was issued. What Emperor Mingkang said was not that violators would be killed without mercy, but Everyone present was killed without mercy.
That is to say, if outsiders break in, they will have to be buried with them.
The man was shocked by the voice that was so cold to his bones that he couldn't help but feel excited and suddenly calmed down.
Outside the imperial study room, the wind blew, and then he realized that his back was already soaked.
Terrified.
As a member of the Royal Forest Army, he had seen blood. At that time, the five governors' palaces were filled with blood. He was lucky enough to see it once. At that time, one of his colleagues once said that when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be laid down.
There is great terror between life and death. On that day, they realized how fragile life is. If the body is separated with a knife, it is already dead.
Dai Quan saw that the imperial guard had calmed down. He put his hands in his sleeves and stood aside, silent and waiting quietly.
The assassination of a noble concubine was indeed a big deal. If he chose to report it, he might not be dealt with by the emperor, but this possibility was not certain. He estimated that it was less than 50%.
At this time, the emperor chose to worship. He felt strange from the beginning that there was no good time, but it happened at this time.
Now that I think about it again, it makes the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace break out in cold sweat. Could it be that the assassination was the emperor's intention? ?
If so, what does Emperor Mingkang mean? He knew who Jia Yuanchun represented. He represented the young man who had disappeared, and he represented the champion.
Is Emperor Mingkang planning to break up with the champion Houfu? You must know that the forces left by Jia Qi are not simple, and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry has a terrifying combat power of one against a hundred.
Now that the rebellion among the feudal lords has not subsided, if something happens to the imperial concubine, who can guarantee that the Snow Dragon Cavalry Army rushing to aid Zhili in Hebei Province will not turn against her.
The terrifying iron cavalry that can penetrate Jiangnan in one day will be a disaster for the capital once it betrays the enemy.
There is also whether the forces left by Jia Chu in the army will rebel. With his prestige, it seems not difficult to respond to everything at once. This is the real reason why those in the court dare not provoke Jia Chu easily.
However, Dai Quan then shook his head in his mind. If he could think of these things, then his master, Emperor Mingkang, must also be able to think of them.
“Is there something wrong with Jia Qi??”
This was another conjecture that made him tremble with fear. After such a long time, Jia Qi still didn't show up. Not to mention, this might be possible.
And, as time went by, this conjecture took root more and more in the mind of Prime Minister Dai Nei.
Time passed by minute by second, and the imperial guard who returned to report went from anxious at the beginning, to fear later, to numbness at the end. Regarding the Jia family, he now only sighed silently, bad luck.
At the same time, in Kunning Palace, Fan Zhixuan looked at the small note in her hand, her eyes flashing, not knowing what she was thinking.
She recognized the handwriting on the note. If not, she would not have been so hesitant.
After a while, a palace maid walked in with small steps. She bowed first, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, there is a royal guard outside the imperial study room reporting a message, but Dai Quan stopped him outside."
Fan Zhixuan slowly stood up and placed the note in her hand under the orange flame of the candle. She watched the note being lit with a distant look in her eyes. Finally, she threw the note into the brazier.
"knew!"
Fan Zhixuan sighed after looking at the small note that was only ashes after a while.
I thought that she would be able to have peace of mind by hiding here and not getting involved in the affairs of the court, but now it seems that she cannot.
It's true that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.
"Show up in the study room!!"
Then Fan Zhixuan said again.
The serving maid was stunned when she heard Fan Zhixuan's words, her eyes full of confusion. She had gone to see it in person just now. The emperor had decreed that no one could enter without an order. What was Fan Zhixuan going to do in the imperial study now? ?
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has a decree. If you don't have an decree, you are not allowed to enter."
Fan Zhixuan glanced at the palace maid, but she was not angry. She personally supported this person and considered him one of her own. If the other person was not that ungrateful, she might have dismissed him long ago.
The other party spoke at this time because he was worried about whether going to visit him at this time would cause the emperor's dissatisfaction.
Everyone in the harem knew who Jia Yuanchun was. She was Concubine Shu. To the queen, she was not a friend, but a rival.
Now that Jia Yuanchun has been assassinated, it has nothing to do with them. It's all good if they don't add insult to injury. But now it seems that Fan Zhixuan intends to help them in times of trouble.
"I know!"
The queen didn't explain too much, and the palace maid lowered her head. Although she was still confused, she didn't say anything more.
As a maid beside Queen Fan Zhixuan, she knew that there were some things that she shouldn't and couldn't ask.
After Fan Zhixuan left Kunning Palace, in the brazier in her room, there was a small piece of paper that had turned to ashes, with two words vaguely written in the white ashes.
"Come on."
Come to Yu? This seems to be just one of the paragraphs. The first words are probably impossible to guess, but the last words are easy to guess. Yu, Yu study room, Yu Shanfang. As for which one it is, it is self-evident. Come to Yu study room!
As for who wrote it, only Fan Zhixuan knows this.
In the Duke Rong's Mansion, the shouts of killing began to weaken. Jia She, Jia Zheng and others became disgraced. Looking at the men in black who had been blocked by the imperial guards, they cursed. Perhaps they were using this plan to vent their anger. The uneasiness in my heart.
The attack by those men in black almost brought death to their Jia Mansion.
Now they are still not sure what the imperial concubine's situation is now. Even if the imperial concubine is fine now, the family visit that was supposed to be a glorious event has turned into a joke. This is a shame for the entire Jia family. All without light.
So even Jia Zheng, who was never very good at cursing, cursed him as a "son of a bitch."
