Chapter 306 It's time for him to pay back the king's favor
In one hour, it will be time to hand down the key to the palace gate. If Gu Yu cannot leave before the key is given, it means that she will not be able to leave tonight.
Concubine Zhao was anxiously walking around in Jingxiu Palace, but the Shenying Guards guarding the door remained unmoved.
She said angrily: "You have already searched the palace. I am innocent! Why don't you let me out?"
Shenying Wei said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This matter concerns the emperor's heir, so we must be cautious."
Concubine Zhao said sternly: "My palace has been searched three times, how can I be cautious? Are you digging three feet into the ground!"
The Eagle Guard said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will let you go after the search is completed."
Concubine Zhao was so angry that she was shaking all over. She understood clearly that the purpose of the Shenying Guards was not to search the palace at all, but to deliberately hold her back.
You don't need to think about it to know that the Holy Emperor is currently accompanying the Queen in Changchun Palace during the birth. Naturally, Queen Xu will do whatever she says at this time.
Even if the Holy One knew that Queen Xu was deliberately making things difficult, for the sake of the dragon fetus, the Holy One would condone all of Queen Xu's requests.
But Concubine Zhao couldn't afford to wait.
When a woman gives birth, she may give birth for an hour or two, and she may give birth for a day and night.
It was such a cold day, and she had no idea what was going on with Gu Yu, or whether the Holy Father had allowed her to go back.
If the Holy Emperor was worried about Empress Xu and did not let Gu Yu go back, Gu Yu would probably freeze to death in the palace once the palace door was unlocked.
Thinking of this possibility, Concubine Zhao trembled with fear.
She forced herself to calm down and said to Shenyingwei: "I am going to the south study room to pick up the sixth prince. It is dark and he will be scared if I am not here."
The Eagle Guard stood motionless at the door and said, "Don't worry, Madam, the Sixth Prince's grandma is here and she will return safely."
Concubine Zhao was trembling with anger at their indifferent appearance.
Concubine Zhao's stewardess Fu Ling rolled her eyes, walked to a wall of Jingxiu Palace in silence, and waited quietly.
As the time passed by, it was already dark, and there was only half an hour left before the key was released at the Li Palace Gate.
Concubine Zhao's legs and feet were weak from fear. She looked at the blade in the hand of the Condor Guard and secretly gritted her teeth.
At this time, Poria slowly walked over and whispered in Concubine Zhao's ear: "The Sixth Prince is back."
Concubine Zhao quickly took off the obstructive hairpin on her head, then suddenly went crazy and rushed out of Jingxiu Palace, shouting: "Let me out! Let me out!"
The Shenying Guards did not expect that Concubine Zhao would be so open-minded. After all, she was the concubine of the Holy Emperor. They did not dare to touch her easily. When she was not on guard, she rushed out the door.
The Sixth Prince was picked up from the south study room by his nanny. As soon as he walked to the corner of the corridor, he saw Concubine Zhao running out like a madman.
It was dark, the lights were dim, and the sixth prince was startled.
Concubine Zhao shouted to the Sixth Prince: "Tang'er, run! Go to the Holy Emperor to intercede for your uncle! Hurry!"
The sixth prince did not react for a moment and stood there blankly.
The Divine Eagle Guard had already grabbed Concubine Zhao's arm and said, "The Concubine Zhao is offended."
As he spoke, he dragged Concubine Zhao to Jingxiu Palace.
While being dragged back by them, Concubine Zhao shouted at the top of her lungs to the Sixth Prince: "Go and save your uncle! Hurry!"
Concubine Zhao was dragged back to Jingxiu Palace by the Eagle Guards without dignity, and those Concubine Zhao were also frightened and apologized to Concubine Zhao.
The leader of the Eagle Guard was about to signal his men to capture the Sixth Prince when he heard Concubine Zhao say with a fierce expression: "The Holy One asked you to search Jingxiu Palace, but he did not ask you to imprison the Sixth Prince! You acted according to the rules when you attacked me.
I won’t argue with you when doing business, but if you dare to hurt the Sixth Prince, I will never end it with you!”
The leader of the Shenying Guard was a smart man, he knew that Concubine Zhao was wronged, and he also knew that after Empress Xu gave birth to a prince, the Holy Emperor would feel guilty for the injustice done to Concubine Zhao.
If Concubine Zhao really settles accounts with their queen, it will be a big trouble.
They obeyed the order. Since the sixth prince was not mentioned in the order, they turned a blind eye and did not pursue him.
When the sixth prince saw this scene, although he didn't know what happened, he turned around and ran away.
The nun on the side grabbed the sixth prince. In desperation, the sixth prince bit her arm hard and kicked her in the leg.
Grandma screamed and let go of her hand in pain.
Freed from the clutches of his nanny, the Sixth Prince flew out.
The Shenying Guards were quick and prompt in their work. This time there was an emergency, and the news of the search for Jingxiu Palace had not yet spread widely.
The palace people along the way didn't know what was going on. When they saw the Sixth Prince running in the corridor, they just knelt down and saluted.
The Sixth Prince has been in the South Study all day, and no one dares to gossip in the South Study.
He didn't know what happened, but he remembered that Concubine Zhao asked him to run quickly to save his uncle.
Looking back, he saw that neither Mammy nor the Eagle Guard had caught up with him. The Sixth Prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed a palace maid and asked, "Where is my father?"
The maid said: "The Queen is about to give birth, and the Holy Master is at Changchun Palace."
The Sixth Prince continued to run forward, but he remembered something and slowly stopped.
----------------------------------------
Junze waited on the carriage until dark, and the air pressure around him became lower and lower.
Seeing that the palace door was about to be locked, Gu Yu hadn't come out yet, which made him feel very anxious.
He said that he and Gu Yu would be strangers from now on, but when something happened to Gu Yu, he still couldn't remain indifferent.
While he was uneasy, the self-loathing in his heart became more and more serious.
A young palace servant hurriedly braved the snow and informed Junze of the news in the palace, saying: "My lord, the queen said she used the jade pillow sent by Concubine Zhao to see the red. Under the acupuncture of the imperial doctor,
, it was launched in advance. The situation is not good, there are signs of dystocia, and the Holy One is with you at Changchun Palace."
Junze clenched his hand and said, "Where is Young Master Gu?"
The palace servant said: "How can the Holy Master remember Young Master Gu at this time? Young Master Gu is still kneeling now."
Junze suppressed his emotions and said: "Send a message to Fuhai. It's his turn to return the king's favor..."
The palace man was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
All the way back to Changchun Palace, the palace officials found an opportunity to call Fuhai out and convey Junze's words to Fuhai.
Fuhai was very surprised after hearing this.
In the early years, there were two personal eunuchs around the Holy Emperor, one was him and the other was named Lu Hai.
The two of them were friendly on the surface, taking good care of the Lord like right and left hands, but secretly they fought fiercely.
It was the young Junze who helped him, and he was able to defeat Lu Hai and become the number one eunuch beside the Holy Emperor. The bones of Lu Hai were probably turned into ashes.
He owed Junze a favor, and usually he would be more biased towards Junze when speaking to the Holy Sage.
But I was always uneasy. After all, I had to be cautious before the Holy Master.
On the one hand, he was grateful to Junze and hoped that Junze would let him repay the favor soon, but on the other hand, he was afraid that Junze had big plans and he neither dared nor could afford to repay the favor.
Unexpectedly, after so many years of delaying this favor, Junze would actually use it on Young Master Gu.
This is a pity in Fuhai's opinion.
However, Fuhai deserves a lot of credit for being able to return this favor as soon as possible.
Fuhai whispered in the ear of the young palace man, and then quietly returned to Changchun Palace.
