Chapter 1614 Emperor Hongjing returns to Beijing
Meiren Jiang is straightforward and generous, and Cui Yunxi has a correct vision, so she is not wrong.
With her help, Cui Yunxi basically didn't worry much and took care of her baby peacefully.
Ning Siyu, far below Guicheng, was discussing the time for siege with the generals.
Now, he secretly controls 90% of the rice and flour tray in Guicheng.
As long as he cut off all the supply, the people and rebels in Guicheng would soon fall into famine.
These things went on silently until Ning Siyu felt that he could attack the city.
The defenders in the city began to lose their fill, and many people began to throw away their armor and do not want to waste their lives in vain.
If you can’t even eat enough, who wants to fight?
Every seven or eight days, someone will report to Nandu.
Emperor Hongjing suddenly suffered from a strange disease and became thinner day by day. However, he had seen countless imperial physicians, but no one could cure them.
"I want to go back." He suddenly said to the closest eunuch.
"Is the emperor going back to Beijing?" Eunuch Guo said in surprise.
"The old saying goes, falling leaves return to their roots. I will eventually enter the imperial tomb." Emperor Hongjing said authentically.
"The emperor is in his prime, why do you think so?" he said quickly.
"I know my own body and my heart. Give me instructions immediately, and I will return to the palace soon." Emperor Hongjing said.
His words alarmed everyone in the palace.
The emperor is finally back.
The first thing is that Meiren Jiang suddenly became uneasy when she sat and lie down.
Once Emperor Hongjing returns, she immediately loses all her current rights.
Even Cui Yunxi has to hand over the rights in her hands.
The other concubines became even more anxious all day long.
If Emperor Hongjing came back, they would have to stop their "business". From then on, life became like before, living a bored life, looking forward to the king's happiness all day long.
But most people can only wait in vain and live a poor life.
Because there is no reward, they don’t have much monthly money.
If you accidentally offend someone, your life will be even worse.
But no matter how reluctant they were, they could not stop Emperor Hongjing's return.
Cui Yunxi was also a little nervous. After all, Ning Siyu is now leading troops outside to fight, and Emperor Hongjing is really caught off guard when he comes back.
Suddenly, she thought of the Empress Dowager who was still in Cangzhou. Originally, Cui Yunxi planned to wait for the New Year and the weather was getting warmer, so she would welcome the Empress Dowager to the court.
But now that Emperor Hongjing suddenly comes back, the only one who can play a certain role in Emperor Hongjing is the Empress Dowager.
Cui Yunxi immediately wrote a letter to Cangzhou and confessed to the situation in the capital with the Empress Dowager.
When the empress dowager received her letter, she knew that she had to set off and return to Beijing immediately.
The Empress Dowager never slacked off in everything related to Ning Siyu and immediately ordered people to prepare ships.
After all, the fastest way is to walk on the water.
Ning Siyu didn't know that Emperor Hongjing was preparing to return to the capital, and the siege had already reached a critical moment.
Cui Yunxi also expected that he would have no time to be distracted when fighting on the front line, so she didn't tell her.
Just before Emperor Hongjing returned to the capital, Guicheng broke through.
Ning Siyu led his soldiers into the city and began a street battle with the rebels.
The people all closed their doors and dared not come out.
Ning Siyu once ordered that the people should not be touched, nor would they trespass into the houses.
