The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Chapter 234 Besieged
This news was like a thunderous explosion that shocked the elite circles in the capital, and their hearts were filled with excitement for a while.

If Xiao Mingzhang has three advantages and two disadvantages, the assistant ministers headed by Mr. Zhou, who is supported by the Qi family, will definitely do their best to support the little emperor, and the little emperor will be as stable as Mount Tai.

There are many people who hold this view, and they are rushing to express their loyalty to the little emperor and the Qi family.

The front door of the Prince Regent's Palace was suddenly deserted. Even though Princess Yuanjia was supporting her in the court hall, it still gave people the feeling that the sun was setting in the west.

Qi Meizhi in the palace was laughing heartily. Now that Xiao Mingzhang is dead, can Gu Deyin and Princess Yuanjia still maintain their majesty?

Just thinking about how gloomy and gloomy these two people are now makes her eat an extra bowl of rice.

But it was her style to beat up drowned dogs, and there was no way she could tolerate these two people continuing to be in such a good mood.

Under her instruction, evidence of Xiao Mingzhang's crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason soon appeared in the court, which shocked the government and the public, and many of the regent's loyal subordinates refused to believe it.

"This is absolutely impossible. How could the prince do something like destroying the Great Wall when he only has enough food and clothing for the court?"

They argued hard.

But the rebuttal sounds reasonable.

"What if he has a disobedient heart? Xiao Mingzhang clearly wants to lure foreign soldiers into the country so that he can force himself to become emperor. This is a crime of rebellion and is unpardonable."

Such voices were heard endlessly, so some people switched sides and insisted that Xiao Mingzhang was framed less and less.

Princess Yuanjia's face is getting uglier day by day. She cannot support this court alone.

In the end, Qi Mei was given the opportunity to come to the stage. This time she became the Queen Mother, avenging her previous shame.

Wearing the Queen Mother's court dress, she walked majestically behind the curtain. This time she could finally listen to politics behind the curtain.

Sitting in this once high position, she looked at the people below, and she suddenly felt like she could see all the small mountains at a glance. It turned out that this was how it felt to be in charge of power, and she was instantly satisfied.

After feeling proud for a while, she glanced at Princess Yuanjia, who pursed her lips tightly and was full of anger with nowhere to release it. She really hated this sister-in-law. Now that she had the opportunity to deal with this sister-in-law, how could she let it go?

"Princess Yuanjia is the sister of the former regent Xiao Mingzhang. The case of the former regent's collusion with the enemy and treason has not yet been investigated. The princess should recuse herself. This palace believes that the princess has been relieved of her duty as supervisor of the country and is temporarily escorted back to the regent's palace to wait for the matter. We will deal with it after we find out.”

Princess Yuanjia glared at Qi Meizhi.

"I would like to ask the Queen Mother, I am the sister of the Prince Regent, and Your Majesty is the nephew of the Prince Regent, so does Your Majesty need to recuse yourself and wait for disposal?"

This question was so sharp that Qi Mei was speechless for a moment.

All the courtiers who originally wanted to second the proposal looked at each other in confusion. This Princess Yuanjia was actually very eloquent.

But the little emperor stood up and shouted, "I am the lord of the world and the supreme being. How can my aunt be compared to me?"

Qi Meizhi quickly agreed, "Yes, as a princess, it is disrespectful to women. It is against the rules to show up in public. Princess Yuanjia will be escorted back to the regent's palace immediately."

No one dared to stop her now. When Princess Yuanjia came to escort her, she threw away the palace attendant who wanted to touch her.

"Don't touch me, I will leave."

She turned around and walked away.

Qi Meizhi watched her walk out of the court with a sneer. Finally, no one was in her eyes. She felt that even the air was much sweeter.

This court finally became the place where she could speak out.

The Royal Forest Army surrounded the Prince Regent's Mansion, and no one was allowed to enter or exit at will. This was tantamount to confining everyone in the Prince's Mansion.

When Huashu saw this scene, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned back to report it to his girl.

"Girl, something bad has happened. The Royal Forest Army has surrounded the palace..."

Gu Deyin's face darkened slightly, she put down the account books she was sorting, stood up and said calmly.

"Don't panic. The more you panic at this time, the more chaotic you will be. Huashu, we are not the flowers that have not experienced the wind and rain."

With one word, Huashu regained her former composure, and she stepped forward to support Gu Deyin. "Girl, what should I do now?"

Gu Deyin clapped her hand, opened the curtain and walked out without saying anything. Seeing that although the servants of the palace had panic on their faces, they were not panicking, which shows the strictness of Xiao Mingzhang's rule in the past.

She said to the servants who came over, "It's just to surround the palace. The sky hasn't fallen yet. You can do whatever you have to do. The princess and I will be here for all important matters."

Her words were like reassurance for everyone.

All the servants bowed to Gu Deyin, and their expressions gradually returned to their original state.

When Eunuch Zhou who came in a hurry saw this, his tense expression relaxed, and he became more and more satisfied with Gu Deyin, the princess, who was worthy of standing beside the prince.

"princess."

Gu Deyin saw him coming forward to greet him, and hurriedly gave him a hand.

She had always treated this old eunuch who had served Xiao Mingzhang with great courtesy.

"Why does Eunuch Zhou do such a false courtesy? Now that the whereabouts of the prince are unknown, I am very worried, but I can't show it. I still need my father-in-law to help me more. How can I accept such a false courtesy from my father-in-law?"

But Eunuch Zhou still insisted on finishing the ceremony.

"Princess, the more times this happens, the more important it is to be polite."

Gu Deyin understood the meaning of Eunuch Zhou's words, so she stopped insisting.

After entering the Nuan Pavilion, she sat on the main seat and motioned to the servants to bring a stool for Eunuch Zhou to sit on.

Eunuch Zhou didn't rely on his old age to show off his old age. He sat slantedly on the edge of the stool and made a respectful gesture.

Seeing this, Gu Deyin respected Eunuch Zhou even more.

"Eunuch, now that the palace is under siege, the princess will probably not have an easy time. The servants still need to be restrained by the father-in-law. They must guard the door and wait for the return of the prince. I still don't believe that something will happen to the prince."

Eunuch Zhou responded immediately. He hurried over just to appease Gu Deyin. Unexpectedly, she performed beyond his expectations, which saved him trouble.

The master and servant discussed it for a while and formulated several countermeasures before receiving the news that Princess Yuanjia was escorted back to the palace.

Gu Deyin hurried to the front yard. When she arrived, she only saw Princess Yuanjia standing there in a gloomy look. She hurriedly stepped forward and took her sister-in-law's cold hand.

"Princess, I'm here."

"Sister-in-law."

Princess Yuanjia, who was completely cold, took off her guard and fell into Gu Deyin's arms.

Only then did Gu Deyin realize that Princess Yuanjia had a fever. She hurriedly called people over to help Princess Yuanjia return to her yard.

There was already an imperial doctor stationed in the mansion, and she hurriedly called for her to diagnose and treat Princess Yuanjia.

After careful examination, the imperial physician came to the conclusion that the sudden attack of fire on the heart caused wind and cold, and that it would take a period of time to recover.

Fortunately, the mansion has medicinal materials available all year round, so Princess Yuanjia's condition was not delayed.

After the outsiders left, she rubbed her sister-in-law's hand and said, "Why do you treat your body so harshly?"

Princess Yuanjia opened her eyes and struggled to get up and sit down. Gu Deyin quickly put a pillow on her back.

She held Gu Deyin's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be too busy. My illness came at the right time."

Gu Deyin caressed the hair on her temples. There was no way that any illness could come at the right time. It was just a matter of keeping a low profile and living a low profile.

The Regent's Palace was surrounded, and Gu Deyin couldn't get out. Fortunately, she had made arrangements beforehand. The Gu family business outside was headed by shopkeeper Li, and everything was running in an orderly manner.

As for the supply of food and fodder for the war ahead, Qi Meizhi has now handed it over to Mr. Zhou. There will be no mistakes here. After all, Gu Deyin's team is still used.
