Chapter 586: Strange situation outside the royal study, secret message from the queen
"Internal Minister, what should we do??"
Outside the royal study, a royal guard returned to report the news, with an anxious look on his face that could not be concealed.
"Wait!"
Dai Quan waved his hand with a hint of impatience in his tone.
But he still remembered that an hour ago, Emperor Mingkang personally issued an order that he would worship his ancestors and pray for the longevity of the country, and no one should disturb him.
Although Dai Quan didn't know what Emperor Mingkang was thinking, he knew clearly that if he broke in at this time, he would probably die without a complete body, or even the kind that would implicate the nine clans.
"Interior Minister, the imperial concubine has been assassinated. How can we wait for such an urgent matter!!"
The Imperial Guard guard was so anxious that he almost jumped.
Dai Quan narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything.
"Wait!"
"The imperial edict is issued. You are not allowed to enter without being summoned. Anyone who violates this will be implicated... the nine tribes!!"
Dai Quan's voice had a hint of coldness. The Yu Linwei standing next to him had already locked eyes with this man, his eyes were cold. They were all present when the imperial edict was issued. What Emperor Mingkang said was not that violators would be killed without mercy, but
Everyone present was killed without mercy.
That is to say, if outsiders break in, they will have to be buried with them.
The man was struck by the voice that was so chilling to his bones that he couldn't help but feel excited and suddenly calmed down.
Outside the imperial study room, the wind was blowing, and then he realized that his back was already soaked.
Being frightened.
As a member of the Royal Forest Army, he has seen blood. At that time, the five governors' palaces were filled with blood. He was lucky enough to see it once. At that time, one of his colleagues once said that when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be laid down.
There is great terror between life and death. On that day, they realized how fragile life is. If the body is separated with one knife, they are already dead.
Dai Quan saw that the imperial guard had calmed down. He put his hands in his sleeves and stood aside, silent and waiting quietly.
The assassination of the imperial concubine was indeed a major event. If he chose to report it, he might not be punished by the emperor, but this possibility was not certain. He himself estimated that it was less than 50%.
At this time, the emperor chose to pay homage. From the beginning, he felt it was strange that there was no good time, but it happened to be this time.
Thinking about it now, it makes the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace break out in cold sweat. Could it be that the assassination was the emperor's intention?
If so, what does Emperor Mingkang mean? He knew very well who Jia Yuanchun represented. He represented the young man who had disappeared and the champion.
Is Emperor Mingkang planning to break up with the champion Houfu? You must know that the forces left by Jia Qi are not simple, and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry has a terrifying combat power of one against a hundred.
Now that the rebellion among the feudal lords has not subsided, if something happens to the imperial concubine, who can guarantee that the Snow Dragon Cavalry Army rushing to aid Zhili in Hebei Province will not turn against her?
The terrifying iron cavalry that can penetrate the south of the Yangtze River in one day will be a disaster for the capital once it betrays the enemy.
There is also whether the forces left by Jia Chu in the army will rebel. With his prestige, it seems not difficult to respond to everything at once. This is the real reason why those in the court dare not provoke Jia Chu easily.
However, Dai Quan then shook his head in his mind. If he could think of these things, then his master, Emperor Mingkang, must also be able to think of them.
“Is there something wrong with Jia Qi??”
This was another conjecture that made him tremble. After such a long time, Jia Qi still didn't show up. Not to mention, this might be possible.
And, as time went by, this conjecture took root more and more in the mind of Prime Minister Dai Nei.
Time passed by minute by second, and the imperial guard who returned to report the news changed from anxiety at the beginning, to fear later, to numbness at the end. Regarding the Jia family, he now only sighed silently, bad luck.
At the same time, in Kunning Palace, Fan Zhixuan looked at the small piece of paper in her hand, her eyes flashing, not knowing what she was thinking.
She recognized the handwriting on the note. If not, she would not have been so hesitant.
After a while, a palace maid walked in with small steps. She bowed first, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, there is a royal guard outside the imperial study room reporting a message, but Dai Quan stopped him outside."
Fan Zhixuan slowly stood up and placed the note in her hand under the orange flame of the candle. She watched the note being lit with a faraway look in her eyes. Finally, she threw the note into the brazier.
"knew!"
Fan Zhixuan sighed after looking at the small piece of paper that was only ashes after a while.
I thought that she would be able to stay at ease by hiding here and not getting involved in the affairs of the court, but now it seems that she cannot.
It is true that the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
"Show up in the study room!!"
Then Fan Zhixuan said again.
When the serving maid heard Fan Zhixuan's words, she was startled, her eyes full of confusion. She had gone to see it in person just now. The emperor had decreed that no one was allowed to enter without an order. What was Fan Zhixuan going to do in the imperial study now?
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has a decree. If you don't have an decree, you are not allowed to enter..."
Fan Zhixuan glanced at the palace maid, but she was not angry. She personally supported this person and considered her one of her own. If the other person was not that ungrateful, she might have dismissed him long ago.
The other party spoke at this time because he was worried that going to see him at this time would cause dissatisfaction to the emperor.
Everyone in the harem knew who Jia Yuanchun was. She was Concubine Shu. To the queen, she was not a friend, but a rival.
Now that Jia Yuanchun has been assassinated, it has nothing to do with them. It's all good if they don't add insult to injury, but now it seems that Fan Zhixuan intends to help them in times of trouble.
"I know!"
The queen didn't explain too much, and the palace maid lowered her head. Although she was still confused, she didn't say anything more.
As a maid beside Queen Fan Zhixuan, she knows that there are some things that you should not and cannot ask.
After Fan Zhixuan left Kunning Palace, in the brazier in her room, there was a small piece of paper that had turned to ashes, with two words vaguely written in the white ashes.
"Come on..."
Come to Yu? This seems to be just one of the paragraphs. The first words are probably impossible to guess, but the following words are easy to guess. Yu, imperial study room, imperial dining room. As for which one it is, it is self-evident. Come to imperial study room.
!
As for who wrote it, only Fan Zhixuan knows this.
In the Duke Rong's Mansion, the shouts of killing began to weaken. Jia She, Jia Zheng and others became disgraced. Looking at the men in black who had been blocked by the imperial guards, they yelled. Maybe they were using this plan to vent their anger.
The uneasiness in my heart.
The attack by those men in black almost brought death to Jia's family.
Now they are still not sure what the imperial concubine's situation is now. Even if the imperial concubine is fine now, the supposed glorious visit to relatives has become a joke. This is a shame for the entire Jia family.
All without light.
So even Jia Zheng, who was never very good at cursing, cursed him as a "son of a bitch."
