little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 158 Palace Change
There are many things and things in the world that cannot be explained clearly. It sounds mysterious but you have to believe it.

Legend has it that some utensils are connected with people's popularity day and night, and after a long time, they will give birth to spirituality; such as jade, such as swords, and there is another thing, which is a pen.

The sword blew to warn, the jade was broken and people were safe, but the tip of the pen fell off, which was ominous.

Looking at the ink blobs gradually smudged by the falling pen tip on Jiexue's rice paper, he suddenly felt an inexplicable panic spreading, so much so that his face had already changed color.

Xiao Fuzi rushed in in a panic: "Your Highness, Aunt Huichun from Kunning Palace wants to see you!"

As soon as the words fell, Huichun seemed to be impatient, and rushed in like a gust of wind.

Seeing Huichun's appearance, Zhu Changluo finally understood why Xiaofuzi was flustered.Huichun is an old man who has been with the queen. He has been famous in the palace for decades for his consistent sophistication, but today he has completely changed his shape. It was tears covering his face, one foot was bare, his expression was anxious, and he described it as a mess.

"Aunt Huichun, what happened?"

"Your Highness, hurry to Kunning Palace and save your empress." After saying this, Huichun fell on the ground and cried so hard that he couldn't speak.

Liu Xia rushes forward to help Hui Chun to sit down, Tu Bi has already poured a bowl of tea, holding the tea, Hui Chun's eyes are dull, trembling all over, as if caught in great fear and unable to extricate himself.

"Aunt Huichun, this is not the time for chaos, what happened to the queen mother?" Zhu Changluo's face had changed, his heart was beating fast and then slow, and the ominous feeling was like flooding.

Huichun took a sip of tea to calm himself down, and said in a trembling voice: "The emperor came to Kunning Palace last night, the empress liked it so much, she ordered us to have a banquet and drink together, and then the emperor stayed in Kunning Palace and did not leave..." The smile on Huichun's face suddenly disappeared, his face became whiter and paler, and his voice became dry and tense: "But when I got up early today, the servants and others were preparing towels and hot water outside to serve them, and suddenly they heard To... hear..."

Huichun's hoarse voice suddenly became sharp, like an owl singing at night, Zigui weeping blood, echoing in the Ciqing Palace.

Liu Xia and Tu Bi were timid, already trembling with horror, little Fuzi's round face was covered with beads of sweat.

Ah Man's dark and deep eyes widened, he kept looking at this and that, his expression was only curiosity, not fear.

It's nothing to do with the matter, but concern will lead to chaos. Zhu Changluo, who was forced to calm down, suppressed the panic in his heart and said in a low voice: "Quickly say... what did you hear?"

Huichun, who came back to his senses, continued: "My servant heard your mother scream...Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" Just like on-site.

In an instant, everyone's faces turned pale. It turned out that something happened not to the queen, but to the emperor?No wonder Huichun was so panic-stricken, like crazy, the emperor is the sky, the sky has collapsed in Kunning Palace, who can not panic?
Zhu Changluo, who couldn't bear it any longer, stepped up a few steps, grabbed Huichun's shoulder, and said sharply: "Quickly tell me, what's wrong with the emperor, and what about the queen?"

"The servant heard that the queen's voice was wrong, so she quickly opened the door and broke in. She saw the empress crying on the bed, and the emperor was lying on the bed with a very bad and scary face... The servant panicked at that time..."

"At this time, a lot of people broke in, including Jin Yiwei, the imperial physician... Finally, the empress dowager also came."

"The Kunning Palace is in chaos, and the empress has been captured..."

"All the slaves in the whole palace were captured and tortured. The servants saw that the opportunity was not good, so they ran here, and begged His Highness to save the empress...save the empress!"

Huichun spoke intermittently in a panic, but Zhu Changluo still understood!
What thunderbolt, caught off guard?Zhu Changluo really saw it now. For a moment, his heart was in a mess, his palms were sweating, and he had no idea at all.

Ye He stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Calm down, don't mess up at this time!"

Zhu Changluo's scattershot eyes finally returned to his senses, and he nodded: "Yes!"

Ah Man jumped in front of Hui Chun: "Hey, auntie, let me ask you if the emperor is dead or not?"

Echun Mumu raised his head in a daze: "I don't know... I don't know."

Xiao Fuzi was born with good fortune, even with a straight face, he was full of joy, and suddenly said loudly: "Your Highness, don't panic, the Jingyang bell hasn't rung yet."

When the Jingyang bell rings, it is the morning time every day, and it never moves lightly.But if there is a bell, there must be a big event. If a noble person dies, the emperor will ring nine times, the queen mother, empress, and prince will ring six times, princes and princes will ring five times, and the rest of the concubines will have their own number.

But right now the entire palace is silent, which means that the emperor is still alive!Everyone, including Zhu Changluo, let out a sigh of relief... Yes, the Jingyang bell hasn't rung yet, which means the situation is not too bad.

It's good to be alive, and there is hope in life. Zhu Changluo gathered his mind and suddenly stood up: "Ye He, let's go to Kunning Palace to have a look."

Ye He nodded with a smile, his expression firm and confident.

Ah Man's big eyes kept rolling, and suddenly he said loudly: "Take me, I'm going too."

Liu Xia grabbed him and said, "Young Master Ah Man, don't make trouble, you don't want to go there if it's messy."

Zhu Changluo sighed: "Liuxia is right, now Kunning Palace has become a place of right and wrong, pass on my word, and none of us in Ciqing Palace should act arbitrarily, and we will make sense of everything when I come back."

Xiaofuzi, Liuxia, Tu Zhu and others all bowed and obeyed.

Only Ah Man shouted: "Brother Zhu, take Senior Brother Song with you!"

A word to wake up the dreamer, Song Yizhi's medical skills, how could he forget him in such a mess!
Zhu Changluo turned his head and told Xiao Fuzi: "Let's go first, and you will come after you bring Mr. Song."

Xiao Fuzi let out a hey, turned around and floated out like a gust of wind.

The outside of Kunning Palace has been surrounded by dense numbers of Shangzhiwei and Jinyiwei.

Everyone's face was frosty, matched with the dazzling white snow, and even the breath was bitingly cold.

When he came to the gate of Kunning Palace, he was stopped by Jin Yiwei's people.

Ye He took a step forward, and shouted in a low voice: "Blind you dog eyes, this is His Highness Prince Rui, who of you would dare to stop him?"

The chief guard naturally recognized that this was Prince Rui, and bowed in salute: "The Empress Dowager has orders, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Kunning Palace at will, Your Highness, please wait a moment, let us inform you."

"It's the duty, as it should be." Zhu Changluo gave Ye He a hand, and said to the guard: "Quickly report to Eunuch Huang, and say that the king is here."

The guard didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly saluted, explained a few words to the people next to him, and then Sa Yazi ran in.

Looking at the heavily guarded Kunning Palace, the cloud in his heart was getting thicker and thicker, and Zhu Changluo couldn't help sighing softly.

Although I don't know what happened inside, it is foreseeable that the seemingly calm water in the Daming Palace is actually an undercurrent lurking, and the waves are turbulent. If you are not careful, you will be caught in it. It's a catastrophe.

From Huichun's description, Zhu Changluo could tell that the matter this time was not that simple. Why did something happen when the emperor stayed in the queen's palace overnight?Is it a sudden illness or what?All kinds of thoughts in my mind are like tides hitting the shore, coming and going, intermittently.

Thinking of the emperor who was indifferent to himself at first, and then loved him in every possible way, Zhu Changluo suddenly realized... In fact, he was really not bad to himself, even if he was coldly received in the palace and tried to contradict him in every way, even if When I scolded him loudly for not loving him, he didn't do anything to him, instead he took several shots to protect him...

It turns out that he has never been a bad person to himself...

This awakening was so sudden that he himself was a little shocked and lost in thought.

Seeing that his upturned face was in a daze, but there was unconcealable worry and sadness in his eyes, Ye He suddenly reached out and took his hand, feeling like holding a piece of ice, and couldn't help worrying: "Don't worry, Things won't be as bad as you think!"

"Worse or not, it's too early to say, let's see."

Zhu Changluo, who came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled wryly, then suddenly lowered his eyes and sighed: "...Fortunately, you are back."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance. Zhu Changluo and Ye He looked intently and saw a group of guards of honor coming in a hurry.The golden phoenix chariot that came quickly under the snowy sun was astonishingly gorgeous, and there was only Concubine Zheng in Chuxiu Palace who could have this kind of ostentation.

Is she here too?

Why is she here now?

These two questions suddenly circled in Zhu Changluo's mind...

Before he could think for long, Zheng Guifei's chariot had already arrived at Kunning Palace.

The curtain door opened, Xiao Yinzi knelt on the ground respectfully, stepped on his back with a golden phoenix shoe, and walked out slowly.

Zhu Changluo took a step forward: "I will see Mrs. Zheng."

Ever since the battle of Yonghe Palace, Zhu Changluo and Concubine Zheng have torn their faces apart, and they are no longer willing to call her mother concubine, only Niangniang.

Concubine Zheng was made up according to her grade, and her face was astonishingly beautiful, but in Zhu Changluo's view, she was like a flower in full bloom, faintly fading.

"So you're here too, why don't you go in and have a look?" Concubine Zheng Guifei had a half-smile on her face, and said in a strange tone, "Your queen mother is suffering inside at this time, why is the prince here at leisure when he was born? I know, it might be so heartbreaking."

"Your Majesty came later than me, why do you know that your mother is suffering in it?"

Seeing the change in Concubine Zheng's face, Zhu Changluo suddenly took a step forward, his eyes seemed to be soaked in ice and snow, and his tone was extremely cold: "Could it be that the empress already knows what happened in Kunning Palace? Or... what happened here is What did the empress do all by herself?"

"You..." Zheng Guifei's heavily powdered face suddenly changed color, her breathing became heavy, she stretched out her delicate jade to point at Zhu Changluo, almost furious: "You are presumptuous!"

Xiao Yinzi suddenly came up to her, and said in a low and hasty voice, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is still waiting for us."

With just this sentence, Concubine Zheng's drastically changed face suddenly became peaceful, she stretched out her hand and brushed at Jinfeng Buyao who was swaying on her temples because of excitement, stared at Zhu Changluo lightly, and suddenly smiled contemptuously: "The grasshopper after the snow, It’s still going on for a few more days, I’ll let you be a little more arrogant.”

Concubine Zheng wasn't looking for trouble, so Zhu Changluo naturally wouldn't provoke her. Seeing her walking over swaggeringly, she turned sideways and bowed slightly to see her off.

When walking past Zhu Changluo, Concubine Zheng paused slightly, with an elegant and decent smile like a spring breeze on her face, she lowered her head lightly, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Your backer has fallen, I would like to see what else you can use to fight with me? Actually...the most damnable thing is you bastard, why don't you die?"

Raising his head to meet Zheng Guifei's face, the other party smiled like a spring breeze with naked cold hatred in his eyes.

Zhu Changluo sighed, leaned close to her ear, and said in a low and clear voice: "If the sky wants to kill it, it must first make it crazy. Why do you have to go too far?"

In the eyes of a group of guarding eunuchs outside, these two nobles who are said to be tit for tat are talking and intimate at this moment. Is there any sign of disagreement?

But who would have known that the confrontation of words at this moment is more ruthless than sharp blades going back and forth.

After a confrontation, Concubine Zheng Guifei didn't get any advantage, she smiled angrily: "The cunning boy is treacherous, he has a good mouth, let's wait and see."

With a wave of the silk handkerchief in his hand, he boldly entered the Kunning Palace.

The guards at the gate seemed to have gotten the message, not only did not stop them, but they all bowed and saluted.

Xiao Yinzi followed Zheng Guifei and walked in. When he passed Zhu Changluo, he bowed and gave a salute. The hand hanging on the sleeve showed three fingers. On his back were the two footprints that Zheng Guifei stepped on. Very dazzling in the sun.

Just after Concubine Zheng entered the palace, a thin and clever person ran out from behind her feet. It was Wang An.

Seeing Zhu Changluo hurried over, his mouth was hoarse: "Oh, my lord, you are here, the master is waiting for you, my lord, come with me!"

Zhu Changluo was slightly taken aback. When he refused to let him in, he felt anxious and inexplicable. When he really let him in, he suddenly felt inexplicable panic. He had already become suspicious when he came here before. After seeing Concubine Zheng just now, Zhu Changluo could already conclude that this was an accident. conspiracy!
The palace gate of the Kunning Palace was wide open, like a monster opening its ferocious mouth. Once you stepped in, it would be difficult to get out with your whole body...

Seeing his eyes staring straight at the door, and the blackness in the depths of his pupils shining with a palpitating coldness, Ye He thought: "Don't worry, I'll be fine with me."

Zhu Changluo's eyes were terribly bright at this moment: "Well, let's go."

When the two were about to step into the palace, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps behind them.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Looking back, it was Song Yizhi who was rushing over with the medicine box on his back.

Behind him was a small figure, but it was Ah Man.
