Empress Fenghua

Chapter 88 The Ups and Downs of the Inner Palace
Hua Zhong walked into Yongning Palace, only to find that the surrounding atmosphere became icy and chilling, with a sense of coolness.Hua Zhong squinted his eyes to check the guards around him, only to find that they looked strange!Hua Zhong remained indifferent, frowning and looking around.

Du Fuhai, who came out of Yongning Palace, saw Hua Zhong standing at the gate of the palace, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Why is the county lord standing at the gate of the palace and not going in? It's cold outside, the county lord should enter the palace to keep warm!"

Hua Zhong looked at Du Fuhai with a gloomy face, and asked with a worried look, "Why is Eunuch Du not looking well? But the emperor..."

Du Fuhai shook his head hastily, looked around carefully, and said in a low voice, "This servant is just worried about when the emperor will wake up! This servant is going to get medicine for the emperor to go to the imperial hospital, the county master..."

Hua Chong smiled, "The county lord forgot something, come see the emperor tomorrow! Since we have to leave, why don't we go along the way!"

Du Fuhai nodded with a smile all over his face, "Master Gaoyi, please!"

Du Fuhai followed Hua Zhong, and after bypassing Yongning Palace, Du Fuhai looked around, very cautious.Hua Zhong signaled Chu Hua behind him to look around, Chu Hua wisely stayed away.

"Eunuch Du, what do you want to say to the county magistrate? There is no one around here, so just say so!" Hua Zhong felt the unusually quiet atmosphere in the palace, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Du Fuhai has served the emperor for many years , I am afraid it is not a trivial matter to be so careful!
Du Fuhai said in a low voice, "The county lord doesn't know, His Royal Highness has already replaced all the guards in Yongning Palace!" Du Fuhai's voice was somewhat worried and depressed, as if he had deep expectations that Hua Chong would understand.

Hua Zhong smiled slightly, "His Royal Highness is currently in charge of the country. In order to ensure the safety of the emperor, it is only natural to change the guards of Yongning Palace. Why should Eunuch Du be nervous?" Hua Zhong didn't want to be frank with someone like Du Fuhai, so he had to go around Turn around and pretend not to understand how powerful it is.

Du Fuhai sighed, "The county lord doesn't know, the rules of the inner palace, the guards can't be transferred at will! Now that the emperor is still sick in Yongning Palace, His Royal Highness can't help but change the guards of Yongning Palace, and also change all the guards in the inner palace Became a personal soldier of the Eastern Palace. I am afraid that this kind of behavior is unreasonable! This old slave has been with the emperor for many years, so he has no choice but to think about the emperor!"

Hua Zhong looked at Du Fuhai indifferently, "Eunuch Du, the emperor is still in a coma, the prince naturally has the right to mobilize troops and horses, but as for the rules you mentioned... Maybe the prince has something to hide! After all, the prince has plans for the prince. , the emperor is sick, the crown prince is the biggest!"

"Hey! County lord, you are anxious to kill this slave!" Du Fuhai looked impatient, "The emperor is far-sighted, and the prince was raised by the emperor himself. If something happens, the old slave is afraid that the emperor will be sad when he wakes up." That!"

Du Fuhai quickly knelt on the ground, "I know that the county lord must have a way to resolve the current situation, so I ask the county lord to plan a plan!"

Hua Zhong quickly helped Du Fuhai up, and said with a smile, "Du Gonggong, the county lord is just a little girl, and she really can't control the ups and downs of the world! If Du Gonggong believes in the county lord's words, then the county lord can only tell Du Eunuch Suspicion is prone to dark ghosts! Father-in-law hurry back and serve the emperor! Gao Yi bid farewell!"

Hua Zhong hurriedly walked away, Chu Hua quickly followed Hua Zhong's footsteps, and whispered, "Miss, is something wrong?"

Hua Zhong frowned and said, "I'm afraid something big is going to happen!"

"Where is the county lord going?" Ye Chunjia's deep voice sounded in front of Hua Zhong.

Hua Zhong raised his head, and immediately put on a faint smile, and saw Ye Chunjia followed by a team of guards.Hua Zhong couldn't help laughing, "Gao Yi has met His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Ye Chunjia smiled and said, "I heard that the county magistrate came to the palace to visit the emperor and then left suddenly. I don't know what is in such a hurry. The prince is very worried, so I came to see if there is nothing I need to help!"

"It's just that I remember that there are still some matters that have not been dealt with in time. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, don't worry!" Hua Zhong said with a smile, "If your Highness, the Crown Prince, is fine, please forgive Gao Yi for resigning first!"

"No hurry!" Ye Chunjia said with a smile, "it's just some trivial matters, and it's not easy to enter the palace once. The princess is now pregnant and often misses County Lord Gaoyi. How about County Lord Gaoyi take this opportunity to visit the princess. Let the crown prince feel at ease!"

Hua Zhong nodded with a smile, "Gao Yi hasn't paid his respects to the Crown Princess for a long time, so Gao Yi won't waste His Highness the Crown Prince's time, and now he will go to the East Palace to visit the Crown Princess."

Hua Zhong walked around Ye Chunjia who was in front of him, suddenly there was a strange fragrance lingering in his nose, Hua Zhong couldn't help being startled.He walked in disorder, but was blocked by a pair of guards behind Ye Chunjia.

Hua Zhong couldn't help frowning, his voice was sharp and dignified, "What does the prince mean?"

"The county lord doesn't know that the father is still ill. The prince is afraid that some unclean people will come in and out and aggravate the father's illness." Ye Chunjia looked sincerely and said with a smile, "It is inevitable that the troubled autumn will be chaotic. You are very restless, let these guards take you there!"

Hua Zhong snorted coldly, "Could it be that His Royal Highness is still afraid that Gao Yi will run away? The county lord and the princess have always been on good terms, so can I be afraid that the princess will eat me and dare not go?" Hua Zhong said lightly, " The crown prince is worrying too much! How about this! Gao Yi followed the guards to greet the crown princess, and let Gao Yi, a little maid, go back to the mansion to help me take care of the things I have given, so that I can explain clearly to my aunt!"

Ye Chunjia glanced at Chuhua, looking at it from top to bottom.Chuhua lowered his head, with a soft and cute look!Ye Chunjia nodded, "Okay!"

He Xiaojin leaned on the soft couch and looked at Hua Zhong, her eyes seemed to drift to a farther place, out of focus, empty.Hua Zhong looked at her slightly protruding belly, and couldn't help but sigh, "Are you really sure you want to do this?"

He Xiaojin's voice was watery, but extremely cold, "What does Hua Zhong mean? What should I do?"

Hua Zhong frowned and looked at He Xiaojin, and said in a low voice, "You should know the danger of doing this. Don't you really have the heart to let the crown prince risk the world's disgrace and fall down? Even if you succeed, you will suffer." How do you let the child in your belly face the suspicion and rejection of the world?"

He Xiaojin looked at Hua Zhong, with a distinctive coldness and disapproval, "Hua Zhong, I admit that you have excellent strategies, but you are wrong. No matter who the world becomes, the people will still live in peace and stability. Live on their own. They don't care who becomes the emperor, and they don't care whether it's justified or not, as long as they live a good life, they will praise you as a virtuous king!"

Hua Zhong was stunned, and said again, "What about the fine brushwork in history books in the future? Are you not afraid of leaving a bad reputation?"

He Xiaojin smiled slightly, "History is written for the victors. At that time, what the historian wants to write will not be what I want? Hua Zhong, don't waste your words, you also know how the prince and I endured humiliation Yes! This is our rare chance, and it may be our last chance. Don't you have the heart to watch the prince be deposed in the future and our children be trampled upon?"

He Xiaojin's expression was extremely cold, "Hua Zhong, I like you very much, I promise that if the crown prince succeeds, I will ask him to make you a princess, and he will not hurt anyone! But now you must stay honestly Donggong, don’t step out of Donggong!”

Hua Zhong shook his head in disbelief, "Xiao Jin, it's too late to stop now! Your Majesty is not as simple as you think, the throne where so many people are staring at, how could it be possible for you to succeed so easily, once something happens, if the prince wants to There is no hope for a comeback!"

Hua Zhong looked at He Xiaojin's slightly disappointed and tenacious gaze, and said calmly, "I know that you and the prince are kind and honest by nature, and have been holding back for many years. Actually, today you don't really want to seize the throne. In one breath! But do you really think it’s really good to get that position at the cost of losing the crown prince?”

He Xiaojin frowned, and looked at Hua Zhong with puzzled eyes, "What do you mean? How could I lose the crown prince?"

Hua Zhong's heart moved, and he smiled, "Don't you think the prince is a little weird recently? Don't you feel that the prince has another woman's breath? When your husband is lingering with others, you don't feel like a knife Cut?" Hua Zhong kept testing He Xiaojin's bottom line, and kept looking for hope. If the current situation does not come out of the palace to inform Ye Yongjia, I am afraid it will be difficult to clean up the mess, and we really don't know who will die!

He Xiaojin's face was stunned, her breath was a little disordered, but she said stiffly, "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Before I married the prince, the prince already had several concubines. Daodao, what else can I endure?"

Hua Zhong sneered, "Why should the princess deceive herself? That woman is the emperor's woman!"

He Xiaojin's body froze, and some gleams of clarity appeared in her watery eyes, "What did you say?"

"I went to Qing Jieyu's bedroom a few days ago to investigate the emperor's illness. The fragrance in Qing Jieyu's bedroom was filled. This kind of fragrance. I think the princess should know that goose tent incense is not used by too many people in the palace, and only Qing Jieyu can be related to the prince and the emperor's fainting!" Hua Chong The voice was low, but very sharp, like a cold wind blowing into He Xiaojin's heart.

Hua Zhong looked at the silent He Xiaojin and said, "You are a man of principle, His Royal Highness is disregarding ethics by doing this!"

He Xiaojin was silent for a while, holding the thin quilt tightly with her thin hands, she was silent for a while, and then smiled sweetly, "Now that I have done everything, what can I do? If Ah Qiao sincerely helps His Royal Highness, it will be fine." not good!"

Hua Zhong frowned and looked at He Xiaojin in disbelief, "You are really crazy!"

"Even if I'm crazy, you still have to stay with me now!" He Xiaojin said firmly.

"That may not be it!" Xue Wuhen pushed the door open, dressed in white clothes mixed with snowflakes, with a wild smile on his face, the Kunlun Mountain in his hand humming, and the sky behind him was already dark.

Hua Zhong smiled in relief, never expecting Xue Wuhen to come so timely, and never felt so happy, "Why did you come?"

Xue Wuhen raised the corner of her mouth, "I'm sorry! I took care of some disobedient guards!"

He Xiaojin's face turned pale, "Isn't it better for Young Master Xue to stay out of the matter?"

Xue Wuhen smiled leisurely, "I will definitely not take care of Chengguo's affairs, but my fiancée must! It's snowing this winter, and I'm here to pick up my future wife to enjoy the snow. I also invite the Crown Princess It's convenient, otherwise my young master's Qingming Fan will not recognize anyone!" A trace of murderous intent flashed in Xue Wuhen's eyes, and the atmosphere around her was icy cold.

"Let's go!" Hua Zhong took a look at He Xiaojin, and hurriedly dragged Xue Wuhen out.

I saw a vastness between the sky and the earth, snowflakes fell from the sky one after another, and the surroundings seemed to lose their color all of a sudden.The entire Wan'an City is trapped in black and white pages, this night is destined to be unsettled!
Hua Zhong flew away, leaving Xue Wuhen behind. Xue Wuhen knew that it was inconvenient to participate in the achievement, and since he rescued Hua Zhong, he didn't follow closely.

Suddenly, in a deep alley, a graceful figure flew over, his clothes flying.Her hair was pulled back high, and her delicate red lips carried a bit of domineering temperament.That figure didn't wait for Hua Zhong to recognize the comer before flashing a colorful sword light!

Hua Zhong dodged sideways, and the sharp edge of the rainbow sword cut Hua Zhong's neck, and Hua Zhong dodged backward, feeling a burst of pain.There was a light red mark on the snow-white neck, but the blood slowly leaked out.Hua Chong frowned and looked at the woman, feeling a burst of anger in his chest, "Yu Xianyin! Today, the county magistrate doesn't have time to fight with you, so I want to get angry and find someone else!"

"I'm here to find my brother Wuhen!" Yu Xianyin snorted coldly, "I never thought that you, a vixen, would seduce brother Wuhen again. If I don't kill you today, I won't be able to calm down my anger!"

Hua Zhong gritted his teeth, and pulled out the Drizzle Sword from his waist. The Drizzle Sword shone coldly under the snowflakes, "If you keep messing around, don't blame me for being rude!"

Yu Xianyin picked up the Ruhong sword, pulled a sword flower, and attacked Hua Zhong. While fighting with Hua Zhong, he said, "So what if you are not polite? My martial arts are not as good as mine, my appearance is not as good as mine, and my talent may not be as good as mine. You are so vicious! How could brother Wuhen like you? It really makes me unbelievable!"

Hua Zhong's mind was in a mess, even though the Xiao Yu Sword was quite powerful, it was still a bit difficult to fight Yu Xianyin.Hua Chong said angrily, "I have no ability to keep a man, so I blame the county lord? How can there be such a shameless woman like you in the world, who has an empty skin, if I were you, I would destroy my appearance and never come out to see people again! Why don't you have the nerve to keep calling Brother Wuhen? You're not afraid of being laughed at!"

When Yu Xianyin heard Hua Zhong's words, he snorted coldly, and a cold light flashed in Xing's eyes.Ruhongjian is fierce and fierce, he turns around and stabs away. "Shameless vixen, this lady doesn't bother to use those vixen tricks!" Yu Xianyin snorted coldly.

Hua Zhong flew back again and again, the Ruhong sword was only an inch away from his heart, and the drizzle sword was thin, so it was not suitable to fight head-on with Ruhong sword, and the method of using softness to overcome rigidity seemed useless in this critical moment!Hua Zhong suddenly sneered, turned sideways and stopped the steps of retreating, piercing into Hua Zhong's shoulder sharply like a rainbow sword, deflecting away the vital part of the heart!
Seeing Hua Zhong's sneer, Yu Xianyin couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then said angrily, "How dare you be arrogant!"

Blood gurgled from Huazhong's shoulders, dripping enchantingly along the azure sleeves into the snowflakes on the ground, like enchanting flowers blooming...

Hua Zhong smiled contemptuously, "Do you know why Xue Wuhen doesn't like you, but falls in love with me?"

Yu Xianyin snorted coldly, "Shameless! It must be you who confuse Brother Wuhen with your foxy tricks!"

"That's right!" Hua Zhong smiled enchantingly, "It's because I'm better at being a woman than you!" Hua Zhong suddenly covered his bleeding shoulder, frowned in pain, fell unsteadily on the snow, his face pale.

Yu Xianyin couldn't help being a little dazed, and then laughed, "I didn't expect you to be like this, and you can't help but hit so hard! It's only a few strokes, but I was so hurt by this lady that I couldn't get up!"

"Yu Xianyin..." Xue Wuhen's roar shook in the silent snowy night...
