Consort Yuanshu, who had just decided to let the matter go, was intrigued by Rong Zhen's words. No matter what, it's always good to listen, right? She asked Rong Zhen, "What happened this time?"
Yue Xiu hurriedly closed the door. Rong Zhen then said, "The Emperor and Zhang Yuan went to Winter Moon Palace. The two of them made a scene outside again."
Consort Yuanshu frowned, "What kind of scene is this? Isn't this a common thing? "
Rong Zhen shook his head, "It's different this time. It's said that the Emperor went in anger. As he walked, he said something about Consort Yun daring to leave the palace and should be sentenced to death."
"En?" Consort Yuanshu was surprised, "The Emperor knows?" Then she thought of the Empress and snorted in her heart, "That old woman, she pretends to be serious during the day and puts on a show for Princess Ji An. I didn't expect that she would go to the Emperor to complain." She got up, "Let's go and take a look."
Yue Xiu and Rong Zhen both stopped her. Yue Xiu said, "Consort, you can't go! Have you forgotten what happened with Noble Lady Li? "
Consort Yuanshu suddenly stopped. A memory that was about to be buried in the dust of this palace came surging back.
She could not even remember what year it was. She just knew that the Emperor had gone to cause trouble in front of Winter Moon Palace, and there was a Noble Lady Li in the palace who had gone over to watch the fun. As a result, the Emperor did not manage to get Imperial Concubine Yun out. In his anger, he saw Noble Lady Li, and that woman thought that it was a good thing. She thought that she could take advantage of Imperial Concubine Yun; however, who knew that the Emperor would grab her by the neck in a fit of anger, choking her to death.
From then on, no one dared to interfere with Emperor Tianwu's actions in Winter Moon Palace. They all pretended not to see or know anything.
Imperial concubine Yuan Shu retracted her footsteps and sat back down on the kang bed; however, she did not give up and told Rong Zhen: "Have someone skilled go and investigate."
Rong Zhen agreed and limped out.
At night, Tianwu stood at the entrance of the Winter Moon Palace with a large group of Imperial Guards, his face full of anger. Zhang Yuan stayed by his side. His face was also gloomy and he didn't want to say anything.
Perhaps it was because he had been staring at the Winter Moon Palace's door for too long, Tianwu swayed a few times and felt a little dazed. With great difficulty, he calmed himself down and shouted at the Winter Moon Palace, "The people inside, listen up! Open the door! We already know that Consort Yun has secretly escaped from the palace. Today, we have come to arrest you. Anyone who connives and conceals Consort Yun's departure from the palace will have their nine generations executed! "
He had used his inner strength that he hadn't used for many years, so his shout was rather imposing. Coupled with the surrounding torches and arrows, the atmosphere was extremely tense and on the verge of exploding.
However, there was no movement from the Winter Moon Palace for a long time.
Tianwu wasn't discouraged and said again, "We know that Consort Yun has lived here for a long time and we have no intention of destroying it. Open the door on your own initiative. If you cooperate, we can discuss the punishment of your nine generations."
Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes on the side. What the hell? He had only said a few words and he had already lost his momentum?
Tianwu also felt that his words were a little inappropriate, so he raised his voice and shouted, "Hurry and open the door! Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! You have to know, in this palace, who is the one who really has the final say? Don't think that we don't dare to break the door. We just feel sorry for the door and for the Winter Moon Palace. If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame us for not leaving a single person alive! "
This time, the surrounding Imperial Guards were helpless. They had a misconception that they weren't following the emperor to catch a concubine who had escaped from the palace. Why did it feel like they were being robbed by bandits?
Tianwu's voice continued as he said, "Do you know how big of a crime it is to let an imperial concubine go without permission? The people of the Winter Moon Palace are becoming more and more daring! We will give you ten breaths of time to open the palace door. Otherwise, we will take it by force! "
This time, there was finally a voice that came from inside. It was a clear and melodious female voice. Tianwu could tell that it was one of the female hidden guards who had been in charge of helping Consort Yun shout. He heard her say, "Your Majesty, it's been twenty years and you've really come up with new tricks! Have you forgotten? Ever since the day Winter Moon Palace was built, you said that we, the servants who followed Master Yun, would only listen to Master Yun's words from now on. Don't even mention if she wants to leave the palace, even if she wants to kill the monarch, we would still help her. What, it's only been twenty years and Your Majesty has already forgotten what you said back then? "
Tianwu angrily gritted his teeth, "That was then and this is now! We are old and can't remember what we said in the past! Hurry and open the palace door. Come out and surrender yourself! "
That female hidden guard continued, "Your Majesty, there's no point in trying to provoke you. Our imperial concubine said that you can play outside if you like. In any case, the night is long and you won't have the heart to sleep. Just treat it as relieving her boredom! Her imperial concubine also said that you can break into the Winter Moon Palace if you want. Both sides are the imperial family's territory. If you break into the palace, the national treasury will pay for the repairs. She just happened to see that the door doesn't look good and wants to change it to a golden one. Attack! However, Your Majesty should think this through. Her imperial concubine said that if you reach the point of attacking the palace door one day, the little bit of mutual respect between the two of you will be gone! This subordinate will pass on her imperial concubine's words. Your Majesty, please do as you wish! "After saying this, there was no more movement.
Tianwu was stunned in place. Looking at the Winter Moon Palace door, he once again fell into a struggle. To attack, or not to attack? If he didn't attack, this opportunity would be wasted. If he attacked, what if that ancestor got angry?
He stood in place like this for a long time. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and simply used his elbow to nudge Zhang Yuan, "Give me an idea!"
Zhang Yuan was also on the verge of collapse. He told Tianwu, "You are the emperor. Have you ever heard of an emperor letting a eunuch make an idea?"
"Isn't there one right now!" Tianwu said confidently, "Hurry up and think for us. Should we attack this door or not?"
Zhang Yuan shrugged his shoulders, "Attack! Didn't the imperial concubine say that you want to change the door? If you're afraid that she'll ignore you in the future, then don't say that you want to attack the Winter Moon Palace. Just say that you want to change the door for Consort Yun. En, a golden door. Allow this servant to calculate how much gold it would cost to change such a large golden door. "
Just as he said this, the female hidden guard's voice suddenly rose again, "I want a solid golden door!"
"Forget it!" Tianwu waved his hand and turned to walk back, "Don't attack, don't attack. A solid golden door. If we really change it to a solid golden door, wouldn't the commoners say that we're a fatuous ruler! No, no, this plan isn't good. Let's go back and think about it carefully. Is there any other good way to lure her out? "
Zhang Yuan quickly followed behind, but he let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. He wasn't afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that the people of Winter Moon Palace would be fooled. If they thought that the emperor really knew that Consort Yun had left the palace and confessed, then wouldn't he have hidden this for almost a year for nothing?
Good, good. In the end, they were the people of Winter Moon Palace. Their confidence was just that strong. It was clearly an empty city, but they were still so lively.
Following Tianwu's departure, the group of Imperial Guards also left in a hubbub. Not long after, the entrance of Winter Moon Palace regained its tranquility.
Not long after, the palace doors slowly opened a small crack and a small head poked out. Looking left and right, she shrank back inside and the doors closed with a "creak" sound.
"Scared me to death, scared me to death." Inside Winter Moon Palace, a palace maid who was always by Consort Yun's side patted her chest and said, "This time, I was really scared to death. I thought that niang niang's matter couldn't be hidden anymore. If the emperor persisted, then we wouldn't be able to hide it anymore."
An old mama was even more scared than her. She plopped down on the ground and sighed, "This old life! Sooner or later, it will be handed over to the emperor. "
The female manager of Winter Moon Palace, Su Yu, had someone pull the old mama up as she helplessly said, "We can only stall for as much time as possible. His Ninth Highness has already personally left the city to welcome niang niang. He should be able to return to the palace in a few days."
"Really?" When the palace maid heard this, she was overjoyed. She quickly knelt down and prayed to the east, "May the heavens protect us. Niang niang, please come back safely. Niang niang, please come back safely!"
This was the wish of everyone in Winter Moon Palace. They had been talking about it for almost a year, but they still hadn't seen Consort Yun's figure. There were times when Su Yu was in a bit of a daze. She even felt that it was possible that Imperial Concubine Yun would never return. From that moment on, they would be guarding this Winter Moon Palace, guarding a master that did not even exist. It was a good thing that His Ninth Highness and the princess had returned to the capital. There was finally some hope for Winter Moon Palace.
Rong Zhen told Consort Yuanshu everything that had happened over here. After he finished, he helplessly shook his head, "It's also this servant's fault for not handling things properly. I didn't think that this would be another one of the emperor's schemes."
Yue Xiu also sighed and said, "All these years, in order to trick Consort Yun out, the emperor has really put in a lot of effort. But I didn't think that the people of Winter Moon Palace would be so hard to trick."
Consort Yuanshu listened to their conversation and didn't make a sound. It wasn't until Yue Xiu called her a few times that she finally reacted. She said, "Tonight's show wasn't for nothing."
"Hm?" Yue Xiu was surprised, "Niang niang, what are you thinking of?"
Consort Yuanshu said, "Think of a way to send the emperor in. Only when the emperor goes in can the fact that Consort Yun isn't in Winter Moon Palace be exposed."
Yue Xiu frowned, "But how can the emperor go in? In order to enter Winter Moon Palace, he has already worked hard for over twenty years. Now … … "
Consort Yuanshu's lips curled into a smile, "He can't go in, so we'll think of a way to send him in. Don't rush. Allow this one to think about it carefully. "
Inside the imperial daughter's manor in the capital, Feng Yu Heng and Yao Xian worked together to move Bai Fu Rong out of her space. For the time being, she was placed in the medicine storage room. Yao Xian gave a few vials of medicine to Feng Yu Heng and told her: "Intramuscular injection. Once a day is enough. I gave her the injection at eight in the morning. You can also choose to do it around eight tomorrow. " When the two spoke, they would always speak with modern habits. Only when Feng Yu Heng was with Yao Xian would she be able to find the feeling that she came from the 21st century.
She smiled bitterly. She had lived in Dashun court for too long. It had been so long that she had nearly forgotten who she was.
After settling Bai Fu Rong, Yao Xian left the imperial daughter's manor and returned to the Yao family. Feng Yu Heng also left the medicine storage room. She ordered the servants to find a new set of bedding for the medicine storage room. At this time, a maidservant ran over to her and anxiously said: "Young miss, quickly go take a look. The Yao family's eldest young master has come. It seems that he drank a lot of wine and said that he wants to see young miss!"
