Chapter 783 Encirclement and Suppression
Author: Chu Qianmo
In the Changning Palace, the food on the table was already cold. The maid in charge came over gently and whispered: "Your Majesty, can you please go and heat up the food?"
Zhong Bin said calmly: "No need, get out!"
The palace maid advised: "My dear, you haven't eaten yet. You can't starve, and neither can my young master!"
Zhong Bin slowly stroked her bulging belly.
She is still very young, young and beautiful. As a concubine who has been very favored in recent years, Concubine Zhong's life is very easy.
The emperor's constant presence and company made many people envious, jealous, and hateful.
However, Zhong Bin has always been calm, doting but not arrogant, calm and calm.
She stood up slowly and said, "The emperor went to Chonghua Palace, right?"
The palace maid said: "Yes! Your Majesty is having dinner at the Ninth Prince's place, and he hasn't left yet!"
Concubine Zhong laughed softly and said, "How many princes are there in the palace now?"
The palace maid calculated: "There are seven more, from the ninth prince to the sixteenth prince!"
These princes are all minors, so naturally they will not leave the palace to build mansions. They live in the homes of their respective mothers and concubines, and the emperor often visits them. Every time he goes to whichever prince he goes, he is accompanied by chariots and attendants, and the ceremony is majestic.
If you go to the Ninth Prince alone, you will be silent.
If she hadn't lived in Changning Palace and paid attention to the movements in the palace, she wouldn't have known about the emperor's special regard for the ninth prince!
She said quietly: "What if I give birth to a prince?"
The palace maid was startled and said hurriedly: "My queen, you can't think like that. There are many queens in the palace, and many people want the dragon seed but can't get it. The emperor loves you so much that he will treat you differently. The little master will have his own in the future.
With the blessing of God, your blessings will last longer. You will be well nourished throughout your life, and your little master will be healthy when he is born!"
Zhong Bin smiled.
There was a smile between her eyebrows and her eyes. This smile was so ethereal that it seemed impossible to catch it. She smiled and said: "You are right!"
The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief. She always felt that the empress's smile was very strange, and her expression was also very strange. This was not a fight for favor or a show of anger.
When the emperor comes, the empress will be very happy. She smiles coquettishly, acts coquettishly, or acts as the emperor's interpreter in a considerate way, so that the emperor comes and leaves happily every time.
But after the emperor left, the empress' eyes looked particularly strange.
She couldn't say what was strange about it.
Concubine Zhong said: "Okay, there is no need to wait here. You all can leave. I want to be quiet!"
The palace maid hurriedly removed the food, and the palace maid in charge quickly arranged things properly, and then left with the people.
After everyone left, the whole palace suddenly seemed empty and quiet.
Concubine Zhong stood up slowly and walked towards the bedroom.
The eunuchs and maids in Changning Palace all know that their master likes to be alone most, and no one will disturb him.
The palace is spacious and elegant. It should be said that the entire Changning Palace follows the elegance route. It is not as down-to-earth as Chonghua Palace, nor as majestic as Fengyi Palace, nor as heavy as Cining Palace.
Zhuang Pu.
She sat down on the brocade couch and said leisurely: "Please wait for me to rest!"
The palace seemed to be deserted. As she gave the order, someone moved. It turned out that there was no one inside. It was just that the two palace maids had been standing in the shadows, with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, not even breathing.
, if you don’t pay attention, you will think that there is really no one.
The two came forward to wait on Concubine Zhong to change her clothes.
This is also a major feature of Changning Palace. The maid in charge and the eunuch in charge are responsible for all external matters, but there are always only two maids serving in the palace.
These two palace ladies were selected by Zhong Concubine from a large number of palace ladies and eunuchs. Even the palace ladies serving in these two bedrooms were not fixed. She would change them every once in a while.
The rules are like this on weekdays, except when the emperor comes to visit.
At this moment, the two palace maids were gently combing her hair and taking off her makeup, loosening her clothes and loosening her sleeves.
Concubine Zhong said softly, as if talking to herself: "The first and fourth princes are not the most important thing in the emperor's heart. I wonder what kind of excitement will happen if the queen and Concubine Ning know about it!"
The palace maid on the left whispered: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter what kind of excitement there is. Your Majesty, take care of yourself!"
The palace maid on the right also said softly: "Your Majesty, you will not run away from the excitement. Your Majesty is in good health. The most important thing is to give birth to the prince as soon as possible!"
Zhong Bin suddenly asked: "What did he say?"
The palace maid on the right said: "Please take care of yourself and wait for the time!"
"So, am I still going to give birth to this evil thing?"
The maid on the left hurriedly said: "My dear, the prince is going to be born. As for what will happen after the birth, the master has his own arrangements, so please don't be impatient!"
Zhong Bin stopped talking and put down the hand caressing her belly.
She didn't make any sound until the two maids helped her to sleep.
The emperor was even in a good mood. After having dinner with Chu Chaoyang, he tested Chu Chaoyang on the contents of those books. Chu Chaoyang learned well and had some opinions of his own. Although he was a little immature, the emperor was very satisfied.
It is already very rare for someone who has never experienced political affairs, is not very young, and can come up with his own ideas based only on the knowledge in books, isn't it?
With the nurturing of the eldest and fourth eldest mother and the mother-in-law, wouldn’t they be just as unsatisfactory in handling things?
Thinking that starting from tomorrow, Lao Jiu will officially come to the public.
Lao Jiu will be the crown prince in the future. The crown prince naturally does not need to ennoble the king and build a palace elsewhere. He can just move directly to the East Palace.
Of course, before being crowned the crown prince, the troubles must be cleared up.
While the emperor was talking to Chu Chaoyang, he was thinking about how to clear the obstacles for him. There was a harmonious atmosphere between father and son.
It was getting dark, and Li Jingfeng finally walked to the door of Mu Mansion.
It’s not that he is inefficient, nor that he is a fool.
He never expected that in such a short journey, he would encounter so many things.
He fought with Dongfang Moye and found out that he was poisoned. He ran away quickly. It was only the end of the hour and he could reach Mu Mansion in half an hour. However, just after crossing a street, he heard a slight scolding: "There is someone there!"
Then, signal fireworks rose into the sky, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps. People were coming towards us from every street, alley, and road.
Those people were wearing the clothes of the Gyeonggi Guards, and the people on the street shunned them.
For a moment, the streets were obviously lively and filled with the atmosphere of a market. People ran away in panic. People from the Gyeonggi Guard Station came flying over in teams one by one, blocking the streets and alleys tightly. There were even people on the roofs not far away from the heights.
Installed archers.
Li Jingfeng was a little surprised. The Gyeonggi Guards were also dispatched yesterday. Those in Mingyang Tower were just two teams, right? They surrounded the entire Mingyang Tower, which was already a huge force, but at this moment, the number of people seemed to be even greater.
The most important thing is that he feels that today's Gyeonggi Guards are different from those he saw yesterday.
Although he appeared in Mingyang Tower at that time, he did not hurt Ming Chongjun and Kong Xi, so he was led away by that brat Mu Huangfeng. Today, these Gyeonggi guards seem to be coming for him!
He narrowed his eyes and stood there.
Normally, he would not have to take these people seriously, but under such a tight blockade, he, a poisonous person, had to be more cautious.
If the poison develops midway and dies from random arrows, this is simply the most useless way for a top expert to die!
He said in a deep voice: "Let your team leader come out and speak!"
On the right gatehouse, the Gyeonggi guards separated to both sides, holding their hands on the hilts of their swords, ready for battle. A horse stepped over, with a young man in light armor on the horse's back.
His face was cold and resolute, but his angular face was cold and cold, and his whole person had a heavy aura. There was blood in his eyes, and there was even a layer of dust on his thin-soled light boots. There was a layer of dust on his horse and saddle.
The dust seems to be coming at a faster pace, and the dust is coming in a steady stream.
Li Jingfeng understood why the spirit of Gyeonggi Guard today was so different from yesterday. It was probably because of this young man!
It's like suddenly finding a team with souls!
This person was Chu Xinyuan who had just returned to Beijing after going to suppress bandits.
Li Jingfeng just looked at him and breathed a sigh of relief. This person's martial arts skills were not as good as his.
However, he soon realized that he had relaxed too early, because he felt the pain in his internal organs again.
This is damn poison!
He asked: "Who are you?"
Opposite him, the young and handsome commander of the Gyeonggi Guard, who was full of coldness and coldness, only asked: "Where is she?"
Li Jingfeng: "..."
This question and this style are all very familiar!
It was familiar once and twice, and he immediately understood that this person was also asking about that kid Mu Huangfeng.
He never expected that among the disciples he planned to accept, there would be people who would stand up for him like this, and there would be people who would care about his life and death so much!
He was used to being domineering, and even though he knew that he was in the stage of being poisoned, he didn't want the kid in front of him to get the exact information.
A young boy with young hair was so rude to someone who was much taller than him in terms of age and martial arts. Why should he have the good temper to tell him what he wanted to know?
"Why do you all ask this?" Li Jingfeng said proudly: "I just killed a yellow-haired boy, do you still want me to carry his bones all over the streets?"
"Bones?" Chu Xinyuan frowned.
Li Jingfeng laughed loudly. Can anyone attack him casually? He looked around calmly and said arrogantly: "What else?"
"Where are the bones?" Chu Xinyuan gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
"It has been thrown into a mass grave and fed to wild dogs!"
Chu Xinyuan turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Bu Tianluo, kill!"
Li Jingfeng laughed loudly and said contemptuously: "You guys, like a bunch of ants, want to kill me?"
He straightened his body and rushed towards the archer on the opposite side. He was in the air and slapped him with a palm filled with fishy wind.
When the archers heard the word "kill", their arrows had already left their bows. However, when those arrows reached Li Jingfeng, they were separated by the energy surging in his body and could not break through his internal defense.
On the contrary, the archers were swept away by Li Jingfeng's palm and fell from the roof. Some were seriously injured and some were breathless.
Chapter completed!
