In just a few days, the entire Dongling Palace suddenly heightened its alert.
Emperor Dongling, who had already recovered his energy at that time, fell ill again for some reason and developed a high fever overnight. The envoy of the Royal Academy who diagnosed him actually said that the emperor was possessed by evil spirits. What is worrying is that Mr. Hua The envoy is missing!
"It's impudent. This is an important place in the palace. No one can enter!"
Bai Yujing's way was blocked by two imperial guards, and he immediately smiled, "Don't you recognize me?"
However, the Royal Forest Army did not give him any face, "The Queen Mother and the Empress are both inside, and even Master Bai cannot enter without a summons!"
The Queen Mother and the Queen?
It seems that Xiao Junlan is also inside.
"I, too, can't enter?" King Pingnan looked gloomy, but the Imperial Guards still straightened their backs, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, we will obey orders."
"This is unreasonable. The emperor has not come to court for a few days, and the envoy from Hua Lao Yuan has disappeared. How is the dragon's body now? All ministers are very anxious!"
Liang Guogong also had a solemn expression on his face. He had never seen such fierce rumors. Many ministers were quarreling at court this morning, all because of the rumors about Emperor Dongling seizing his wife and torturing his daughter!
If no one comes forward to clarify, I'm afraid he will really become a foolish king who will be criticized by hundreds of officials!
The envoy of the Royal Court said that the emperor was possessed by evil spirits. If this diagnosis spreads, he is afraid that he will be criticized again, saying that the emperor has a guilty conscience and is unwilling to see anyone to give an explanation to the ministers!
"The envoy from the old hospital has gone into hiding because of his poor medical skills." At this time, the figure of the envoy Wang appeared behind the imperial army. He was giving orders, and his tone seemed to regard the envoy from the old hospital as a coward who could not bear the responsibility. .
"How dare you dare to slander the envoy of the old hospital?" Bai Yujing narrowed his eyes dangerously. He had already guessed that the envoy of the old hospital had not diagnosed the real cause of the emperor's lethargy, so he was imprisoned by the people behind the scenes. !
Feeling his murderous intent, the envoy of the Royal Court was startled and quickly shrank aside, "Your Highness, Bai Yujing wants to kill someone and silence him!"
I saw a young man walking out of the palace. He was dressed in military uniform and his heroic face was masculine although not handsome. His face was very similar to that of the queen. He was Xiao Cheng, the eldest prince who had been traveling abroad for many years. .
His Highness is back?
King Pingnan and Duke Liang couldn't help but look at each other, but neither of them got the news.
At this moment, a black shadow fell from the sky and hit Bai Yujing.
"You're an ambitious traitor, you have a dishonorable reputation, how dare you want to tarnish the royal bloodline?!"
"Those rumors are all your work, right? What's your motive? General Bai will never forgive you even if he's under his spell!"
Several angry civil servants came together from a short distance away. What hit Bai Yujing was an inkstone. Ink spread all over him and stained the luxurious robe.
"You said, those rumors were made by me?" Bai Yujing laughed immediately, and King Pingnan stood up to block him.
"Several adults, what they say is unfounded..."
Unexpectedly, these civil servants did not even give Prince Pingnan face, "Your Majesty was fine a few days ago. I heard that Bai Yujing sent rice to the Emperor, but then the situation became more serious. He must have poisoned the food." !”
As soon as the civil servant finished speaking, he felt a black shadow flying towards him, and hit the black gauze hat on his head accurately!
Bai Yujing was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly ordered, "Take him down and interrogate him."
"Bai Yujing, where do you think the palace is, how can you be allowed to use lynching?" Xiao Cheng did not expect that after several years of not seeing each other, this Bai Yujing would become more and more arrogant.
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. I naturally know that there is no need for punishment in the palace, so I plan to take the person to Dali Temple for a good trial."
"Presumptuous!" Xiao Cheng roared immediately, and guards immediately stepped forward to surround Bai Yujing.
He was about to attack, but the handsome man smiled leisurely and said, "His Highness has returned to Beijing not long ago, and he must have kept many things in the dark. Could it be that His Highness wants to protect a corrupt official who abuses his power and enriches his own pockets?"
After Bai Yujing finished speaking, the face of the man whose black gauze hat was knocked off changed instantly.
"Mr. Bai, please don't taint the innocence of this official!"
"Are you innocent? Didn't the two women who sent you to your house last night take good care of you? I am considerate of your sore waist and am afraid that you cannot bear the weight of this black gauze hat, so I took it off for you."
Someone next to him immediately handed something into Xiao Cheng's hand.
I saw his expression getting worse and worse, and finally his upright eyes seemed to be spitting out fire.
"Why did you bring this evidence with you?" Xiao Cheng was confused. How could anyone carry such a thing with them? Could it be that Bai Yujing was waiting to execute people on the spot anytime and anywhere?
"When I return to His Majesty, I know that he will enter the palace today, so I have been waiting here for a long time. I just saw the excitement in His Majesty's bedroom, so I came to join in."
Bai Yujing bowed solemnly, and Xiao Cheng was speechless.
Is he here to join in the fun?
Just now, I thought Bai Yujing wanted to break into his father's palace without permission.
"Then, Your Highness, can I continue to arrest people?" Bai Yujing smiled, and the civil servants beside him who had been frightened could not help but collapse to the ground.
Xiao Cheng finally stopped talking and saw that the people who had just slandered Bai Yujing were all taken away, but the queen's figure appeared in front of everyone.
She came to Xiao Cheng with great grace, her eyes were a little reluctant and full of hope.
"The queen is waiting for your return."
"Mother, don't worry, my son will live up to his fate!"
Does the eldest prince have to go on an expedition?
The queen seemed to have read everyone's thoughts. She glared at Bai Yujing with dissatisfaction, "The barbarians were defeated earlier, but they actually pretended to surrender. Their spies have sneaked into the central part. Your Highness has been ordered to go to support."
Fake surrender?
Bai Yujing did not expect that something like this would happen again not long after Liang Guogong returned to Beijing.
However, he didn't believe that the little barbarians dared to entangle like this. I'm afraid it was just a smoke bomb, intending to send the eldest prince away, but what was the queen thinking?
She is so cautious, doesn't she think this trip is dangerous?
When Xiao Cheng passed Bai Yujing with his sword, he paused lightly and left quickly without saying anything else.
"Everyone, please step aside. Your Majesty is accompanied by the Queen Mother and me, so you can go in peace."
The queen looked unquestionable, and Prince Pingnan and Duke Liang could only give up.
In the sleeping hall, the Queen Mother was sitting in front of the dragon couch, closing her eyes and reciting scriptures devoutly.
"This Bai Yujing is so arrogant!"
After the queen came back, she couldn't help but complain.
The Queen Mother then put down the bead string in her hand, "That's why the Ai family is eager to let Cheng'er perform meritorious service. Bai Yujing has many party members in the court, how can Cheng'er be his opponent?"
The Queen Mother, who usually indulged and loved Bai Yujing, seemed to be a different person at this moment.
