Blessed

Chapter 139 Palace Change
Yuzhu, Xie Che left the palace, Emperor Ruiwu sat alone in the palace for a long time, he didn't think there was anything wrong with giving the tiger talisman to Fuchang, before Master Guangji passed away, he went to Master Guangji, Master Guangji told Through him, Fuchang is a trustworthy person, and it is also a blessing for their royal family.He also told him that he would have a catastrophe, so he knew that he would have such a catastrophe, and it was indeed as Master Guangji predicted, it was Fu Chang who discovered the anomaly.

He knew that if Fuchang didn't find out that the food had been tampered with this time, he would continue to eat the food. He was afraid that within ten days, he would be paralyzed on the bed and unable to move.

A father-in-law came in and passed on, "Your Majesty, Concubine Mu is asking to see you."

Emperor Ruiwu didn't want to see anyone at the moment, but knowing it would only make people feel strange, he said, "Let Concubine Mu Gui come in."

Concubine Mu Gui entered the hall and saw Emperor Ruiwu sitting on the couch with a bad complexion, her heart skipped a beat, she walked over and asked, "Your Majesty, I'm not feeling well, why is my complexion so bad."

Emperor Ruiwu looked at Concubine Mu Gui, she was still so beautiful, with icy muscles and fine bones, and a graceful waist.Except for some tail wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she was like the little girl who snuggled up to him and talked to him more than 20 years ago. He softened his heart and held her hand, "Don't worry about my concubine, I'm just a little tired." And I don’t know what’s going on these two days, I’m always feeling a little uncomfortable.”

In the huge bedroom, there was not even half a maidservant serving them. Behind the two of them, smoke rose from the incense burner with cloisonné enamel green field and branch patterns.Concubine Mu Gui worriedly said, "Your Majesty, why didn't you tell me earlier that my concubine will send someone to invite the imperial physician over here." Seeing the food tables that had collapsed, she frowned and said, "What are the maids doing? Good meals are not put away."

Her expression was very natural, showing concern for Emperor Ruiwu and displeasure at the unfavorable handling of the palace maid.

Emperor Ruiwu finally moved his eyes away from her, "Just now the Lord of Fuchang County asked me for something, so he drove them out."

There were palace maids filing in to pack their things, Concubine Mu Gui ordered one of them to invite the imperial physician, she returned to sit beside the emperor, and asked curiously, "I don't know what Fuchang asked the emperor for?"

Emperor Ruiwu smiled, "It's nothing serious, but I promised her to keep it a secret, so I won't tell my concubine about it."

The imperial physician came over quickly to examine the emperor's pulse, but the final result was that it was caused by too much fatigue, and he prescribed a prescription of nourishing food.

Shen House
After Jiahe said this, Yuzhu's face turned cold, "Mother, believe it or not, this trip is very important, and I have to go out even if you are stopped."

"How dare you!" Jiahe yelled angrily, and there were maids rushing in from outside.

Xie Che came to Xiaofengtang with Yuzhu carrying a bag. He was waiting outside under the verandah. Hearing the dispute between the two, and Jiahe angrily asking people to go in and stop Yuzhu, his face also turned cold, and then He went into Xiao Feng Hall with the servant girl.

After the maids entered, they stood on both sides, not daring to do anything. On one side was the princess, and on the other was the wife of the prince, who was the county head, and they couldn't afford to offend them.There was also a man who came in with the maid, and Jiahe was about to scold him when he suddenly saw Xie Che's face clearly and recognized him as the son of Fu Ronghuo and Xie Yu. Grow into a man with a jade tree facing the wind.

Her face turned pale, and her hands on her knees trembled a little, "What do you maids eat, you don't even know if a stranger comes in!"

Xie Che said softly, "Princess, don't mind, I am Yuzhu's elder brother, and I need to take her out now."

Jiahe trembled angrily, "I, I know you, you are just a child picked up by Yuzhu's father, and you have no blood relationship with Yuzhu, how can I let you take him away, who knows if you eloped or something."

The servant girls looked ashen, and they couldn't afford to offend the three people present.

Xie Che said, "You guys go back first, I have something to say to the princess." He glanced at Yuzhu again, and his voice was a little softer, "Jiaojiao, you also go outside and wait for me."

Yuzhu nodded and walked out.

The maids were embarrassed and stood still.

Xie Che said, "Get out!" Perhaps he was too coercive, and the maids couldn't bear it, so they saluted the two of them and hurriedly retreated.

Jiahe was still sitting there with a solemn expression, Xie Che could still see her nervousness, he said, "Princess seems to be afraid of me?"

Jiahe said coldly, "You worry too much."

Xie Che looked at her, and Jiahe's figure was reflected in his pupils, "Does the princess think I look familiar, who do I look like? Fu Ronghuo? Xie Yu?" He watched Jiahe's face turn paler and paler, and his whole body began to tremble , he continued, "Did the princess think no one knew what happened back then? Those dirty things you did."

"You, what are you talking about, I don't understand." Jiahe held back the scream that was about to blurt out, shaking like chaff.

Xie Che's face turned completely cold, like frost in winter, "I know what the princess knows best, but you can only get away with it because of the age and no evidence for this matter. You were sent to the government to punish the Shen family, thinking of taking revenge on the Shen family. But Jiaojiao is my most beloved sister, she married into your Shen family, and I would not hurt her no matter what, so I decided to go to Youzhou after a long time of hesitation." His voice All of a sudden, he lowered his voice, "I never imagined that you bumped into me in the end."

What he said was true, when he knew the truth back then, he really wanted to take revenge on the Shen family and take back Yuzhu, but after all he didn't want to see Yuzhu sad, so he chose to leave the capital.

Jiahe was like hitting a ghost, he knew, so he knew, but why did he know, those dark and scandalous things she sat down had been known for a long time.His lips were pursed, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

Xie Che didn't want to talk to her anymore, and turned around to go out.

Yuzhu was standing in the yard waiting for him, and when she saw him come out, she smiled and said, "It's settled? Mother, do you want me to leave?"

Xie Che hummed, and said lightly, "Let's go."

It's November, the weather is cold, both of them are wearing thick clothes, Xie Che is wearing a thick cloak, Yuzhu is wearing a thick fox fur cloak, this time looking for someone is definitely not a carriage, they need the fastest speed When I got back, I could only ride a horse, and I had to travel day and night.

What they were looking for were two tall horses with strong feet, they left the Shen residence, and the two of them rode out of the city all the way, following the official road.

Until night fell, there was basically nothing to see on the road, only the shadows of trees on both sides of the official road, Xie Che reined in, slowed down, and said to Yuzhu, "There is a post station not far ahead, let's take a rest here first In the evening, get up early tomorrow and go on your way, you will be able to reach Youzhou in the morning of the day after tomorrow, and you will be able to go to Lizhou after borrowing soldiers, and you will be able to reach Lizhou in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.”

The two of them didn't know that something happened in the palace as soon as they left Beijing.

Concubine Mu Gui secretly sent someone to follow the two of them. As soon as the two of them left the capital, the hidden guard went back to report to Concubine Mu Gui, "The servant followed the two of them, first to the Jiang Mansion, and then the two of them returned to the Shen Mansion. So I rode out of the palace and walked on the official road, and the slaves were also guarded in Jiang's mansion, and Lord Jiang followed out of the city."

Concubine Mu Gui frowned, "The two of them left the capital? Master Jiang also left the city? But someone is following Master Jiang, where is he going?"

The dark guard said, "Master Jiang rode towards the barracks outside the city."

Concubine Mu Gui's complexion changed, "It's over, something happened, the emperor is afraid that he already knows about the changes in the palace, so he should act immediately and send someone to find Lord Zuo and Lord Qiu." My lord is the head of the guards in the palace, controlling the palace, even if the emperor handed over the tiger talisman to Jiang Ansu to borrow troops, it doesn't matter.

Zhao Min was also alarmed, and came in from the outside, "Mother Concubine, what happened?"

Concubine Mu Gui said, "I'm afraid your father is aware of the changes in the palace, but he certainly doesn't know that I am behind the scenes. Let's act now. Originally, I wanted to wait until he was deeply poisoned and could not move in bed to make a fake edict." I came to let you take the position, I am afraid that I can’t do it now, let’s control all the places in the palace first.”

Zhao Min also knew that this is not the time to be soft-hearted, "Mother and concubine don't worry, my son will let someone do it immediately."

Emperor Ruiwu originally planned to wait for Jiang Ansu to lead the troops into the palace, but he didn't expect that in the afternoon, there was the sound of rumbling footsteps outside the palace, his expression sank, he got up and went out, and saw Concubine Mu Gui leading a group of guards into the main hall , his face also changed, he stared at Concubine Mu Gui and said, "What are you doing?"

Concubine Mu Gui was followed by Longwuwei General Qiu Teng, and the guards, all equipped with swords, the swords were out of their sheaths, obviously menacing.

Concubine Mu Gui stopped a few feet away from Emperor Ruiwu, raised her hand lightly, and Qiu Teng and the guards behind her also stopped. She raised her sleeves to cover her lips and chuckled, her eyes rolled, "Hasn't the emperor noticed it? The concubine wants to Rebel."

"I never thought that this thief would be you!" After all, Emperor Ruiwu had experienced a lot, but he calmed down, "I have thought that I have treated you well all these years. You, in the end, it was you who stabbed me in the back!"

"Joke!" Concubine Mu Gui suddenly changed her face, "Who cares about your honor, how did you tell me back then, you told me that the crown prince would belong to Min Yi, but now, how have you ever exchanged your promise? After all these years, the empress and the prince have always dominated our mothers. The empress and I have been fighting for so many years, and Min Yi and I have done so many things behind the scenes. When the prince succeeds, do you think they will be able to tolerate it? Me! You forced me to do this!"

Emperor Ruiwu said angrily, "I can see clearly what the prince has done these years. He is capable and kind. I was confused back then. I thought I would compensate Min Yi in the end. When Zhen Yi succeeded to the throne, Min Yi If you become a prince, you can't help Zhen properly? They are brothers, but now they are against each other, you are so stupid!"

"You have the face to criticize me!" Concubine Mu Gui sneered, "Min Yi and I have been preparing for these years, and fortunately we have been preparing. In the end, this throne is not my son's. Come on! Go up and tie him up!"

"How dare you!" Emperor Ruiwu said angrily, "Qiu Teng, as the General of Longwuwei, you took the lead in rebellion, so you know it's a capital crime!"

Concubine Mu Gui said, "Why don't you dare, the palace is completely under my control, and the city gates are closed, so what if you gave Jiang Ansu the Tiger Talisman, as long as you and the princess are in my hands, guess how he would dare to act rashly .”

Qiu Teng said, "Your Majesty, I have offended you!" With a wave of his hand, the guards behind him rushed to subdue Emperor Ruiwu.

Zhao Min also just came over from the East Palace and saw Emperor Ruiwu being tied up, he said, "Father, I have offended you."

Emperor Ruiwu said angrily, "Nizi! I don't know that the child who has been raised by my side for more than 20 years is actually like this."

Concubine Mu smiled and said, "There are so many things you don't know. Do you really think that Min Yi and I have been flattering you all these years? It's just for the sake of the throne. When Min Yi was young, he almost broke his leg because of you." , why do you think that is because it made you feel pity for Min Yi, and after that you doted on Min Yi more and more, and even said that you would give him the throne, I believed it was true, but I didn’t want to be happy in vain. Now you are lucky, you only took that medicine for a few days, and after taking it for ten days, you can only lie on the bed and wait to die."

After she finished speaking, she asked Zhao Minyi, "How is the East Palace?"

Zhao Min also said, "The empress, the prince, and the concubine have all been brought under control, and all the concubines in the palace have also been charged."

"My son is doing very well." Concubine Mu Gui said softly, "Just wait until you get the jade seal, and you will be able to inherit the throne."

Zhao Min also looked at the subdued Emperor Ruiwu, feeling a little unbearable after all, he turned his head and asked, "Mother and concubine, what should father and queen do with them?"

Concubine Mu thought for a while, "These people can't move right now, Jiang Ansu must go to rescue soldiers, only these people are safe and sound can be used as hostages, so Jiang Ansu dare not act rashly."

Emperor Ruiwu collapsed on the ground with a pale face, the most poisonous woman's heart, in the end it was his most beloved concubine who stabbed him bloody on his heart, this wound may not heal in the future.

Zhao Min also asked again, "Concubine Mother, what is the succession ceremony?"

Concubine Mu Gui said, "I can't rush this, at least find Yuxi first, wait until tomorrow morning, let the courtiers enter the palace, and let them bow their heads to proclaim their ministers, first go and bring all the people from the East Palace here, together Imprisoned."

Soon there were guards who tied up the queen, prince, concubine and the two little grandchildren. The queen's face turned pale, and the eldest grandson, Zhao Qi, was quite calm. Noisy.

Concubine Mu Gui looked at the two children coldly, and uttered words like a poisonous snake letter, "If you are crying, I will let someone kill her!"

Tuanzi was a little frightened by Concubine Mu Gui, understood what she said, and hurriedly covered his mouth, but tears still fell down, making the Crown Princess and Queen feel so distressed.

Concubine Mu Gui ordered again, "Go and tie the Jiang family into the palace!"

By the time the Jiang family was all tied up in the palace, it was already dark.

At Maoshi the next day, the ministers went to the palace and learned that the harem had been controlled by Concubine Mu Gui and the third prince. Naturally, some officials of the Qing Dynasty refused to follow. On the spot, several officials of the Qing school were beheaded to make an example. Sure enough, no officials objected. They are also smart people.

In addition, Jiang Ansu took the tiger talisman and led the troops to the capital in the morning of the next day. When he arrived at the gate of the city, the gate was closed tightly.

Concubine Mu Gui also knew that even if the people were tied up, the matter would not be over. There were soldiers outside the city staring at them, and they could only wait for the Zuo Dudu to lead the troops into Beijing to clean up the soldiers outside the city.

Zuo Dudu is thousands of miles away in Lizhou, and it may take half a month to come to Beijing.
