The secret guard came and went in a hurry, bringing back the news in almost half a cup of tea.
As soon as he sneaked out of the door of Xie's Mansion, he saw the guard who came from the palace to deliver a message, still waiting at the door.
I was so anxious that I wanted to rush in.
The guard stopped him: "My lord, you can't go in."
The guard chief who had just entered to make the call had already hid elsewhere in order to avoid running into him again.
The guards are not Wei Yanzhou's personal guards, so they will not offend Xie Zhiyun openly.
"Concubine Xi is really worried! She invited the imperial doctor in the middle of the night, no joke!"
The guard said that he was helpless: "You also said that you invited the imperial doctor, and our lords have just gone in to make the announcement. If His Majesty is interested, he will have come out now, but there is no movement at this moment. You know what it means. Bar?"
After all, Concubine Hui's weight is more important. Even if Concubine Xi is ill, it doesn't matter.
Your Majesty doesn't care, and all her methods are in vain.
So the guards didn't bother to get up.
Seeing that he was unable to get in, the guard was so anxious that he didn't know what to do: "Are you sure you have brought the news in? Your Majesty will not care about it after hearing it?"
He didn't believe it, so he rushed in by himself: "I'll report it myself!"
"stop!"
The guard's expression changed, he pulled out his long sword and put it against the guard's neck: "If you take an unexpected step forward, you will threaten His Majesty's safety, so be wise and get out."
'锵锵锵'——
The guards on both sides also drew their swords.
Suddenly, the guard who had just spoken harshly was kicked from behind!
There was a muffled sound and he became furious: "Which grandson is it?!"
Facing the secret guard's face, his legs instantly became weak.
It turned out to be the secret guard beside the emperor!
"S-Sir!"
The secret guard's eyes were gloomy: "Something happened in Linhua Palace?"
"Yes!" The guard seemed to have seen a savior: "Concubine Xi suddenly felt unwell and has invited Doctor Meng to come over."
The secret guard didn't waste any time and carried him to the house.
The guard who stayed on the spot was dumbfounded: "What, what should I do?"
Doesn't your Majesty know what this means?
Did they get into trouble?
"Go and inform the chief of guard, inform the prime minister!"
**
A quarter of an hour later.
Xie Zhiyun looked gloomy and hurried to Xie Qingyi's courtyard.
He didn't expect that the secret guard would bump into that guard.
Originally, he planned to wait until Xie Qingyi succeeded in his good deed and then inform Wei Yanzhou in the middle of the night.
That way he wouldn't have concealed the information, and he would definitely be able to explain it.
But he was one step ahead!
When he stepped into the courtyard, the guard was already reporting back: "For some unknown reason, Concubine Xi seems to have unbearable abdominal pain, so Medical Officer Meng sent a young lady to invite your Majesty."
Abdominal pain is unbearable.
Wei Yanzhou looked at him sinisterly and stepped down the stairs: "When did it happen?"
Almost instantly he figured out what was going on.
This guard has been here for a long time. If the secret guard hadn't met him, he might not have known about it even after tonight!
But he didn't have time to worry about it now.
No wonder, no wonder I feel restless tonight.
Did Cheng Ning have fetal force?
How can I get fetal gas when I'm in the palace?
If it wasn't an emergency, Meng Xin would never disturb him.
how is it now?
Will something happen?
He didn't dare to think deeply and walked quickly to the door: "Prepare your horse!"
As soon as Xie Zhiyun entered the courtyard, he bumped into Wei Yanzhou and knelt down quickly: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"
"What crime is the Prime Minister guilty of?" Wei Yanzhou had murderous intent hidden in his eyes, but there was a smile on his lips: "Tell me about it."
"I, I heard the guard came to report that something happened in Linhua Palace, but I was caught up in urgent matters just now. Those who haven't come yet have time to report to Your Majesty. I deserve to die!"
At this point, he could only admit defeat.
Who told this to happen to the secret guard?
If Wei Yanzhou admits his mistake first, it will be easier for him to be punished.
But I was still in a state of confusion, wondering how Wei Yanzhou would react.
But judging from his expression, Cheng Ning was probably not very nervous, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
What he didn't expect was that Wei Yanzhou was very generous and didn't care about it at all: "It doesn't matter. Since I was caught up in something, I can't blame Aiqing."
Xie Zhiyun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled secretly.
Wei Yanzhou walked around him and went out. His expression changed the moment he left the courtyard.
"I heard that Xie Nianjin was visiting Tongzhou recently?"
Wang Xi was not Xie Zhiyun, and he was not so naive as to think that Wei Yanzhou really didn't care.
It's just that when Wei Yanzhou encountered Cheng Ning, he wanted to deal with it in a roundabout way.
He responded: "Yes."
"Accidents while riding are normal, right?" Wei Yanzhou got on his horse and said coldly: "Let him break his leg."
At that time, His Majesty looked like he wanted to kill someone with his own hands.
"It's Your Majesty!" Wang Xi didn't dare to say anything.
I'm afraid that in a few days, Xie Zhiyun will be worried.
He was just Xie Nianjin, a legitimate son. If he broke his leg, he would break the Xie family's queen!
"Also, the guard chief who is on duty today will be killed with a stick."
After saying these words coldly, Wei Yanzhou rode his horse and disappeared into the long night streets. Not even the secret guards could catch up with him.
The palace gate had already closed, and when they saw a person galloping on horseback from a distance, they all raised their guard.
"Drive!" Wei Yanzhou passed them and said, "Open the door!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Seeing who it was, the guards were all shocked and opened the city gate.
Before he even had time to pay homage, His Majesty's horse had already disappeared at the city gate.
According to the original rules of the palace, horse racing is not allowed on the palace roads.
But Wei Yanzhou had no intention of stopping. He rode his horse all the way to the entrance of Linhua Palace.
The palace was brightly lit and in chaos.
Wei Yanzhou felt a little timid when he walked in. He was such a proud person and had never been afraid of anything.
But at this moment, he thought about what would happen to him if the child was gone.
"His Majesty!!"
Everyone in Linhua Palace did not expect that he would suddenly appear, and everyone was kneeling on the ground in an instant.
Chunhua's eyes were still red: "Your Majesty, do you want to go in and see your empress?"
She looked like Wei Yanzhou's suspicion had come true.
With a bitter taste in his throat, Wei Yanzhou was stunned and unable to take the next step.
Until Ouyang Xi came out: "Your Majesty is back? Concubine Xi happened to be calling your Majesty."
Something happened in Linhua Palace, and eventually it got to her.
So I came over and watched.
Hearing Cheng Ning calling him, Wei Yanzhou hurriedly went in.
Meng Xin stayed at the bedside. When he saw him, he breathed a sigh of relief to him and signaled that everything was okay.
The situation was so urgent that she just checked away from Chunhua, but she didn't see anything red.
Fortunately among misfortunes.
"Wei Yanzhou——"
Cheng Ning suddenly opened her eyes in her sleep. She didn't know what she was dreaming about and took two breaths.
Wei Yanzhou grabbed her hand, put it to his lips and kissed it: "What's wrong?"
His voice was hoarse, as if it had been filled with wind and was extremely dry.
Cheng Ning didn't seem to be awake. She wondered why Wei Yanzhou was here.
But what she dreamed about made her uncomfortable.
"Are you having a nightmare?" Wei Yanzhou spoke softly, his heart returning to his stomach: "Where do you still feel uncomfortable?"
How could Wei Yanzhou be so gentle...
Cheng Ning closed her eyes again, the overwhelming emotions threatening to overwhelm her.
