Shen Moran thought that Liang was just an insignificant person, but she didn't expect that she knew much more than she imagined.
"I want to return to the capital safely, see my daughter, and make sure she is safe. Then I will tell you what you want to know!"
Ms. Liang has been in the palace for many years. If her scheming were really bad, she would not be able to become a female officer. The reason why she showed her flaws was because Shen Moran said that she was close to the truth, which shocked her.
After calming down, I had a gut feeling that something might happen tonight!
Xiang Yun, who had been instructed by Si Yiluo, informed Yinyue that Emperor Yao had left the palace and returned to Beijing overnight. Yinyue came in and whispered a few words in Zhou Zhan's ear.
Ms. Liang immediately looked over and met Zhou Zhan's eyes. She had never noticed that King Zhan would also have a solemn look on his face, and those deep eyes seemed to suck people in.
Emperor Yao left the palace, indicating that it was no longer safe here.
After tying up Ms. Liang and keeping her under guard, Shen Moran muttered: "Changying, Jiuer, go and protect my mother."
Shen Panxing was no different from Emperor Yao in essence. No one's life was as important as his own. Besides, he had long wanted to get rid of the Du family. If there was chaos, she was afraid that Shen Panxing would take the opportunity to abandon her mother.
Changying hesitated and said: "Princess, your side..."
Si Yiluo kept Xiang Yun, and Shen Moran was confident that she would not be without a plan.
"Don't worry about me, your mission is to protect my mother, don't worry about anyone in the prime minister's house!"
"yes!"
The two of them were ordered to retreat. Shen Moran and Zhou Zhan looked at each other. Zhou Zhan had just taken advantage of her to interrogate Mr. Liang to analyze the current situation.
The power of the Ministry of War is in Bo'an's hands. If the elder Ge he heard that day was referring to Bao Fan, the manpower he can mobilize is limited. Gongxi Chun is from the Shenji Camp, although the people from the Shenji Camp have been screened I've tried it several times, but I can't rule out that they have accomplices.
Moreover, the Shenji Battalion is so lethal that a team of a hundred can fight thousands of people... When Si Yiluo was investigating the assassination case of his falling into the water, he discovered that the Shenji Battalion would help nearby villagers during daily training. Kill the bandits.
In addition to receiving military honors, this move also makes it easier to conceal the true loss of firearms and ammunition. Over the past few years, there should be a lot of savings.
The value of a soldier lies in his skill rather than his strength, especially for those who have no access to military power.
Therefore, if there is a change, it may come from the Shenji Camp.
Shen Moran obviously also thought that because of Zhou Zhan's status as a prince and her friendship with Si Yiluo, the couple would definitely not be able to escape their bad luck.
But Si Yiluo left them a shield... Gong Xiyun!
How to use this shield, Zhou Zhan made a decision.
"If you make some noise and make people think that my life is in danger, you go to my father to plead guilty and escort me back to the capital!"
This idea...is bad!
Shen Moran's worry instantly turned into a smile, so that she could cause trouble and let her make a scene so that everyone would know that Emperor Yao was no longer in the palace. If the queen knew about it, she would cover it up for her.
But Si Yiluo asked Xiang Yun to emphasize that no one knew about this matter, that is to say, not even the queen knew about it.
And Bao Fan, who is always paying attention to Emperor Yao, once he knows that Emperor Yao has left early, he will jump over the wall to intercept and kill Emperor Yao first. Once he is allowed to return to the palace, he will never have a chance again!
With limited manpower, they cannot be taken care of. Even if they create chaos in the palace, as long as they have a shield in hand, the other party will not dare to do anything!
"I'm leaving right now!"
The couple had a tacit understanding of the division of labor. Zhou Zhan fell on the bed, and Shen Moran said urgently: "Your Highness, Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Bi Tao, go and ask for the imperial doctor!"
This courtyard is very small, except for the people brought by Si Yiluo, they are their people. Zhou Zhan often gets sick, everyone is used to it, but this time it seems to be particularly dangerous. When he peeked through the crack in the door, the weak prince rolled his eyes and fainted. Die.
Panic shouts broke the tranquility of the night, the imperial doctor paced back and forth, but Prince Zhan's condition did not improve.
"Princess, Your Highness is in danger this time and the conditions here are simple. In my opinion, you need to return to Beijing as soon as possible!"
Shen Moran cried until her eyes were swollen to walnuts. Du received the news and came over with Chang Ying and Jiu Er she sent.
To outsiders, it looked like she had lost her backbone and asked her personal maid to go to her parents' house to find someone.
Mrs. Du didn't know Zhou Zhan's condition and was so nervous that she couldn't sit down. Shen Moran blamed herself in her heart, but the play had to go on.
She hugged Du Shi and cried louder, which made Du Shi's heart skip a beat, so he pulled her to Emperor Yao's residence.
"Let's go, mother, go and intercede with the emperor on your behalf, and ask for permission from the emperor to allow you to return to the capital!"
Shen Moran prayed in her heart, hoping that her guess was correct. If the person with different intentions was Bo'an, he was in charge of the military department. Although he did not have the tiger talisman to mobilize troops and generals, it would be easier to cultivate confidants than others...
There was a lot of noise outside, and the people left behind by Emperor Yao could not stop it, until the queen heard the commotion and looked at each other with Concubine Zhao and Concubine Shun.
"What's going on?"
The Queen stayed with her niece Yu Jinlan tonight and did not sleep with Emperor Yao, and Concubine Zhao and Concubine Shun were not summoned, so none of the three of them noticed that Emperor Yao was no longer in the palace at this time.
No matter what, Mrs. Du is still the wife of the prime minister. The queen looked at Shen Moran again and asked: "What's going on? What happened?"
She originally set her sights on Yu Jinlan as her daughter-in-law and Shen Moran as King Chen's concubine. At the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she specifically told Yu Jinlan to have a good relationship with Shen Moran. But now the two of them are on their way back... Although Yu Jinlan has not yet gotten married, she has a relationship with her. A feeling of sympathy for each other.
Shen Moran cried and was speechless.
Yu Jinlan stepped forward to support her.
"Princess Zhan, but His Highness Prince Zhan is not feeling well?"
Shen Moran's tears fell, she nodded, lifted up her skirt and knelt down.
"His Royal Highness King Zhan, he is dying! The imperial doctor said that we should return to the capital as soon as possible, but without the emperor's will, we dare not go back. We also ask my mother to intercede for me..."
Zhou Zhan's performance during the day was obvious to everyone. After all, he had been ill for so many years, and his several illnesses were indeed very dangerous.
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly..."
The queen looked at the door of Emperor Yao's room. There was such a commotion outside. There was no movement at all in the room. Even Wan Zhong didn't show up. It was very abnormal.
But she didn't know what happened, and she didn't dare to agree easily. After all, in front of Emperor Yao, her face as a queen had long been lost outside the city.
"Good boy, you get up first."
She doesn't care at all whether Zhou Zhan will die or not. What she cares about is whether the people left by the Protector can be used by her, so she is still willing to take care of Shen Moran.
Weighing the pros and cons in her mind, helping Shen Moran today will earn Zhou Zhan's gratitude, but if she doesn't help them, Emperor Yao will not look good on her. She also missed an opportunity to win over.
There seems to be no need to hesitate!
So she walked to the door of Emperor Yao's bedroom and raised her voice: "Your Majesty, I dare to disturb you."
There was no response in the room.
Others heard the commotion and there were Yulin guards around them, so they didn't dare to let go and come out to inquire about the news. Bo'an and Bao Fan's wife dressed up and came outside to ask for a meeting in person.
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask for an audience!"
The queen stepped forward and pushed the door open. The little chamberlain guarding the door raised her hand to stop him, but was slapped away by the female officer beside the queen.
"If you don't want to live anymore, how dare you stop me, Queen?"
The queen pushed the door open and went in. The room was empty, the quilt was still warm, but no one was in the room.
She turned back and stood under the eaves and asked, "Where is the emperor?"
The little chamberlain was shaking like chaff in a sieve and dared not say anything. The queen said angrily: "You dare to be a bitch, drag me out and give me fifty sticks first. Come, go to Governor Wei and ask if there is a thief sneaking into the palace to murder the emperor!"
At this time, everyone became nervous. The emperor was missing, and he was nowhere to be seen under heavy protection.
At this moment, the queen smelled a conspiracy, but who was the manipulator behind the scenes?
Many people stood quietly in the courtyard, and torches illuminated the queen's pale face.
"The Queen, Governor Wei is not here either!"
"Where's Si Yiluo?"
She tried to keep her tone calm, but she couldn't stop her heart from feeling cold.
"Master Si is not here either... Just now, there was the sound of horse hooves. Could it be that the emperor has returned to the capital?"
