You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

The Cining Palace was sealed off, and the news that the emperor was kneeling to beg spread quickly within the palace.

Is this okay?

How does the world judge us, the younger generation?

All the concubines, princes and princesses knelt in front of the gate of Cining Palace and begged.

The queen herself had no children, only a princess. In order to prevent her from marrying off to another prince, she was hurriedly married off to the Marquis of Anding's mansion. Although her life was bearable, it was ultimately unsatisfactory.

The emperor was heartless, and she once wanted to seal off the palace, but she endured it in order to protect her only child.

Thinking of the sad things, the queen covered her face and cried: "Mother, it is my fault. Please give me a chance to show my filial piety to you."

"Grandmother, we were wrong. We will definitely visit the Cining Palace more often to accompany you from now on..."

however.

Everyone knelt and begged for a long time, saying all the nice things they could, but they didn't even see the Queen Mother.

The Great Yan Emperor knelt for so long that his body began to wobble and he was about to collapse. Eunuch Yao and others had no choice but to forcibly carry him back to the Yangxin Palace.

The Queen Mother, however, was chanting a meditation mantra in the small Buddhist temple, completely ignoring the disturbances outside.

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. The news that the empress dowager had sealed the palace soon spread out of the palace.

Fighting against the Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Jingchen was discussing what to do next with Shang Jue and others.

A secret guard came to report: "Your Highness, there's news from the palace. The Queen Mother and the Emperor parted on bad terms after hearing that the Emperor was vomiting blood and that you were dying from the poison.

After Madam Xiao returned from the palace, the Empress Dowager dismissed the palace maids and shut herself up in the Cining Palace. The Emperor and others begged on their knees, but to no avail.

After hearing this, Zhao Jingchen said to Shang Jue and the others with a sullen face, "Think about it carefully after you go down. After the birthday banquet, we will attack these two places. The third brother has been at ease for too long. It's time for him to pay the price."

Shang Jue was worried: "Prince, the Queen Mother..."

“She had a change of heart, which is why she had a falling out with her eldest son.

She thought she could make amends to me by asking Madam Xiao to send some medicinal herbs, but ended up getting upset. Don't worry, just let her do what she wants."

Two hours ago, the Queen Mother sent Nanny Xiao to visit Zhao Jingchen at the palace.

Zhao Jingchen, however, refused to accept the offer: "Steward Qu, go and tell them that I don't want to see anyone, and that the old Zhao Jingchen is dead."

Chief Steward Qu received the order and went to the front courtyard hall. When he saw Madam Xiao, he only slightly bowed and said, "Madam, how come you have time to come to our Prince Zhan's mansion?"

Aunt Xiao received a cold look, but she didn't care: "Chief Manager Qu, long time no see. How are you?"

"Very well, thank you Ma'am for your concern."

The polite words were completely blocked, and Madam Xiao had to get back to the point, "The Queen sent me to visit the prince. These are the herbs that the Queen gave to the prince to replenish his body."

Chief Steward Qu glanced at the things piled on the table and said, "It's been eight years. The Queen finally remembered that she had a son like our prince, but the prince is not feeling well..."

Following Zhao Jingchen's instructions, Chief Steward Qu sent Nanny Xiao away with a few words, which led to the subsequent closure of the palace.

Shang Jue and Rong Chunlin received the instructions and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but they couldn't find the right words, so they had to leave together.

Li Mingzhao, however, was still concerned about the birthday party and asked, "Is Your Majesty going to the birthday party?"

"Of course I must go! With so many wolves and tigers surrounding her, I must go and protect her so that I can feel at ease."

General's Mansion.

Mu Yunge and the four maids from the east, south, west and north were talking about the rumors outside with a smile on their faces.

"Miss, if we didn't know that the prince's poison had been cured, we would have been frightened by these rumors. The prince has really tricked that person this time."

"Well, this will protect him for a while. When the time is right, we can attack him by surprise."

Annan clapped his hands: "Haha... This is good. No matter what happens in the capital, those people making a fuss have nothing to do with the prince."

An Bei nodded: "During this period of time, it is crucial for us to protect ourselves. We can also light a fire from time to time and wait for those people to fight."

Mu Yunge reminded, "At the birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, according to the rules, each person can only bring one maid. An Bei and An Su will follow us into the palace, and the rest of you will stay behind."

Annan was unwilling to do so. "We want to go too. If we can't get into the palace, we'll meet you at the palace gate."

"Okay, Anbei reminds Ansu to act soft and gentle after entering the palace and not to act rashly."

"Don't worry, young lady. I will remind her."

At this time, a secret guard from the palace came to report: "Miss, our spies in the palace have reported back that the Queen Mother and the Emperor have fallen out over the matter of the prince, and have dismissed all the palace people and locked themselves up in the Cining Palace."

"and then?"

"The Emperor and his men felt that the Empress Dowager's actions were damaging to their reputations. They knelt outside the Cining Palace for a long time, but no one from the Cining Palace appeared. It seemed as if the Empress Dowager had resolved to ignore the Emperor and his men."

An Xi curled her lips, "This Queen Mother is really strange. She hasn't cared much about the prince for so many years. Why is she caring now?"

Annan imitated Anxi's disdainful tone and said, "Most likely he felt that the prince was dying and his conscience was awakened."

Mu Yunge waved to everyone, "Alright, go away, let me be alone for a while."

Watching everyone leave chatting and laughing, she paced to the desk, sorted out what had happened in the past, and thought about the various emergencies she might face in the near future.

The virtuous concubine's birthday banquet is coming soon, and they want to take action against me. Who is the most suitable person to do it?

The virtuous concubine, the palace maid or Mu Qinxue?

It is unlikely that Concubine Xian would do it herself, but it is possible that she would arrange for a palace maid to do it. Even if something happens, there are palace maids to take responsibility.

As for Mu Qinxue, she is more likely to take action and it would be easier for her to succeed. If she were to take action, she would definitely find ways to get close to me and become close to me before the birthday party.

They are cunning and ruthless, and they will definitely prepare multiple strategies. If one doesn't work, they will try another. We can only act according to the circumstances when the time comes.

Fortunately, I am not fighting alone. With the prince, Anbei and others by my side, I feel very at ease.

Two days passed in a flash.

During this period, the personnel who were sent to Fengming Mountain returned. After the Great Yan Emperor carefully questioned them, he got very angry again and scolded all the participants until he felt relieved.

He originally wanted to send people to attack Prince Zhan's palace at night and kill him while he was sick, but thinking of his mother's fierce reaction, Emperor Yan had to give up.

However, Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician went to Prince Zhan's mansion more and more frequently, but every time they saw Zhao Jingchen lying on the bed with a weak breath.

On the other side, Guo Shu prepared several sets of clothes for Mu Yunge to wear to the palace.

"Ge'er, tomorrow is the birthday banquet for Concubine Xian. Although we don't want to be in the spotlight, we can't be too casual and lose face for the General's Mansion.

The clothes I've chosen for you are decent, neither too eye-catching nor too frivolous, so you can wear whatever you want."

"Thank you, mother!"

The mother and daughter made various preparations.

Anton and others who were monitoring the second house also made new discoveries.

"Miss, Mu Qinxue and Prince Lin have been exchanging letters frequently these past two days. For some reason, Mu Qinxue has become extra cautious, and our people are unable to obtain the contents of these letters."

Mu Yunge nodded: "It's okay, they are just discussing how to frame me. We will just deal with it."

evening.

The messenger Ling Feng visited Xianyunju.

The letter contained only a short sentence: "Don't worry, I will accompany you in secret..."
