They arrived very quickly at the palace gates. Zhang Yuan asked the guards at the gates, and they said that Xu Jing Yuan had already brought the Eighth Prince in first. Also, after Zhang Yuan left the Imperial Palace, the Emperor issued an imperial decree, restoring Talented Lady Liu's position as Consort Yuanshu. She was now once again a Consort Yuanshu.
Everyone was shocked, including Feng Yu Heng. Everyone's mouths were agape in shock. It had to be said that the Emperor had let the Eighth Prince go. This was a bit reasonable. After all, he was his son. It could be understood that the Emperor could not do it in the end. But what was the reason for restoring the position of Consort Yuanshu?
There was something off about this matter! This was Feng Yu Heng's first reaction after hearing this news. She did not wait any longer and walked through the palace gates.
There were already a large number of people gathered in the yard of Zhao He Hall. There was a group of princes, as well as members of the imperial harem led by the Empress. Even Feng Zhao Lian was standing with the Empress and had come to watch the liveliness.
Feng Yu Heng's group had arrived quite late. Just as she arrived, the Empress immediately went forward to receive her. With a worried expression, she tugged at her and quietly said: "Consort Yuanshu, who has just been restored, is taking care of things inside. His Majesty has given the order that nobody is allowed to enter."
Feng Yu Heng frowned and could not be bothered with being polite with the Empress, directly asking: "What does it mean that nobody is allowed to enter? Have His Ninth Highness and His Highness the Seventh Prince arrived? "
The Empress reached out and pointed: "Look, aren't they standing there?"
Feng Yu Heng looked over. Sure enough, Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianhua were standing not too far away from the hall. The two were discussing something with their heads lowered. Perhaps it was because they felt someone looking at them, as the two turned their heads and met Feng Yu Heng's gaze.
"Aside from Consort Yuanshu, who else is inside?" She asked the Empress, "Wasn't it said that Father Emperor was ill? How are his symptoms now? "
The Empress was a little helpless. "I don't know what the symptoms are. Other than Consort Yuanshu, there are also the imperial physicians. The Eighth Prince, who was just carried back, is also inside."
Feng Yu Heng didn't ask any more questions. She turned around and instructed Zhang Yuan, "Quick, go in. You are Imperial Father's personal attendant. No one can stop you from entering. "
Zhang Yuan nodded and hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the hall. The Empress looked at Zhang Yuan with some worry. Only when she saw that he had successfully entered the hall did she let out a sigh of relief. Then she said: "If even Zhang Yuan is not allowed to enter, then this Empress can only throw away this face and invite Consort Yun."
While they were talking, the sound of crying came from the hall. It was Consort Yuanshu and the Eighth Prince. The hearts of the people waiting outside clenched. The Empress even let go of Feng Yu Heng's hand and almost ran towards the entrance of the hall.
The Emperor was sick and his son and concubines were taking care of him. What did it mean to hear crying at this time?
Whether it was the princes or the concubines, they were all gathered in front of the door, trying to squeeze in. But the palace guards at the door didn't let anyone in. The Empress angrily scolded the palace guards: "This Empress is the Empress! No matter what, the Emperor has no reason to hide it from this Empress! Keeping the mother of the country at the door and letting Consort Yuanshu take care of him inside, what kind of reason is this? Have any of you heard of such a reason? "
"That's right! Even if he doesn't let us in, he should let the Empress accompany him. "The one who spoke was Consort Li. Her voice was small, but it was filled with confusion." What's wrong with the Emperor? Why is the person inside crying? "
Someone heard Imperial Concubine Li speak and could not help but interject: "The person inside is your elder sister. How about Your Highness Imperial Concubine Li go and give it a try! What if Consort Yuanshu lets you in? "
Consort Li wasn't good with words and didn't know how to argue, but she could still speak clearly. She refuted: "The main point is that the person who made the ban wasn't Consort Yuanshu, it was the Emperor!"
This sentence blocked the other party, and for a moment, no one could say anything. But the crying inside Zhao He Hall became louder and louder, almost to the point of wailing. The Eighth Prince could be heard crying while shouting: "Imperial Father, this son knows his wrongs! Imperial Father! "
The Empress was even more worried. Feng Yu Heng was even thinking about whether or not she should use her space to go in. She told Xuan Tian Ge then moved towards Xuan Tianming. When she got closer, before she could speak, Xuan Tianming had already guessed what she was thinking. He just waved his hand and said: "There's no need to rush. As I see it, the mother and daughter inside are most likely performing an opera!"
Xuan Tianhua also said: "After surviving a disaster, shouldn't you express your feelings in front of Imperial Father!"
Just as they said this, an imperial physician finally came out of the hall with an exhausted expression. The Empress rushed to ask: "Speak! What exactly is going on inside? "
The imperial physician was stunned. Seeing that it was the Empress, he quickly saluted and said: "Replying to Your Highness the Empress, it's nothing much. It's just that Consort Yuanshu and His Highness the Eighth Prince are a little emotional, especially His Highness the Eighth Prince. He is hugging His Majesty and crying endlessly."
Once the imperial physician said this, everyone let out a sigh of relief. The eldest prince, Xuan Tian Qi, continued to ask: "How is Imperial Father's situation?"
The imperial physician said: "As this official sees it, His Majesty's body is fine. It's just that his heart has been attacked by the fire. He will recover after a few days of rest."
Hearing this, the Empress became even angrier. She stood in the middle of the hall and angrily shouted inside: "His Majesty still hasn't died! What are you crying for? Shut your mouths for this One! Otherwise, regardless of whether it's Consort Yuanshu or the princes, they will all be punished for cursing His Majesty! "
She did not see that when she said "cursing His Majesty," Consort Li, who was standing in the back, suddenly trembled. But she quickly regained her composure. Watching the Empress display her might, she let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing happened to the Emperor. If something happened to the Emperor at this time, and her Feng was not in the capital, would there be no hope at all? Upon thinking of this, she immediately quietly gave an order to Zuo: "After we get back, remind this One to send a letter to His Highness the sixth prince. Have him immediately return to the capital."
After the Empress' anger was vented, there was not much of a response from the inside. Instead, the cries became softer. The imperial physician stood outside the door for a while before returning. Not long later, Zhang Yuan, who had gone in earlier, came out with a complicated expression on his face. It caused people to feel worried.
"His Majesty's decree." Zhang Yuan said this with an expressionless face. Immediately, everyone's gazes focused on him. He cleared his throat and said: "His Majesty's decree. The incident in the northern part of the city was caused by Zhu Kongshan, who was killed in the morning court session. The Eighth Prince will be released without charge, and the right to command the Imperial Guard will be returned to the Eighth Prince. The entire Zhu family in Peng Zhou will be executed. At the same time, the right to command the 30 thousand soldiers in the Northeast will be returned to the Eighth Prince. The Sixth Prince will be ordered to return to the capital during the new year to hand over the military tally. "
This decree caused everyone to be dazed, including Feng Yu Heng, Xuan Tianming, and Xuan Tianhua. They looked at each other and could not figure out what exactly was going on. Emperor Tianwu's sudden change gave them a bad feeling. It couldn't be that the Eighth Prince and Consort Yuanshu had threatened Emperor Tianwu, right?
Feng Yu Heng's gaze revealed this information; however, Xuan Tianhua said: "It shouldn't be. Father Emperor has so many hidden guards at his side. Even if the two of them wanted to do something, it would be impossible. This matter … should be father Emperor's own idea. "
Feng Yu Heng did not say anything else. She just quietly turned around. She did not even bring Huang Quan with her, as she walked toward a quiet place. Huang Quan wanted to follow but was stopped by Xuan Tianming, only saying: "Your princess has her own matters to attend to. Just follow I." He was clear that Feng Yu Heng wanted to go in and take a look. That was also good. The only person that could enter the hall at a time like this was Feng Yu Heng. Having her go in and take a clear look would allow them to have an idea. This matter was very strange. They had to figure it out.
The atmosphere inside Zhao He Hall was completely different from outside. When Feng Yu Heng stood in a corner and looked at the three people in front of the dragon bed, she suddenly felt a very warm feeling. Emperor Tianwu was half leaning on the bed, Consort Yuanshu was sitting on the side of the bed, and the Eighth Prince was half leaning on the ground. Tianwu's hand was constantly stroking the Eighth Prince's head with a loving expression. Consort Yuanshu stopped crying and said softly: "Mo-er, this child, always wants to gallop on the battlefield like His Majesty did when he was young. He always wants to learn from His Majesty and do everything well. However, he is still young and there are always some things that are not satisfactory. If His Majesty can give him a chance to change, then Mo-er will definitely change. He will definitely learn from His Majesty how to handle matters and how to govern the country. He will definitely not disappoint His Majesty again. "
The Eighth Prince also said: "Mufei is right! In the past, I was too eager for quick success, which was why I made so many mistakes. However, please believe Father Emperor, this son's intentions were good. This son just wanted to share Father Emperor's burdens! "
Tianwu was very emotional when he heard this and also said: "Father Emperor understands, we all understand. Zhen understands your intentions. Zhen also couldn't bear to let my Mo-er die, so zhen had to save Mo-er. Good child, are your legs okay? I heard that the death row prison is very cold. What if you hurt your legs? How will Father Emperor live in the future! " As he said this, Tianwu also wiped his tears and looked at Xuantian Mo's legs. He anxiously said: "Quickly tell Father Emperor, how are your legs?"
Xuantian Mo quickly comforted Emperor Tianwu, saying: "Don't worry Father Emperor, it's just a bit stiff. It should be fine after a few days of rest. Father Emperor, this son isn't worried about myself, this son is only worried about your body. Please don't hurt yourself because of this son! This son isn't afraid of injuring my legs. At worst, I'll just sit in a wheelchair. This son also doesn't want to fight for the throne. I just want to properly protect Father Emperor and Mufei. Being able to stay by your side and serve you in your later years is this son's greatest wish. "
Tianwu nodded as he heard this. Not only did he pull Xuantian Mo into his arms, he also pulled Consort Yuanshu's hand and said with emotion: "It's been hard on you all these years. Consort Yuanshu gave birth to a good son for zhen, but zhen wasn't able to properly love him. It's all zhen's fault. Mo 'er, don't worry, Father Emperor will definitely heal your legs. In the future, zhen's Mo' er will sit on the throne steadily! "As he said this, he said to Consort Yuanshu:" Beloved consort has waited for zhen for so many years. It's all zhen's fault. From now on, zhen will treat you and your son well and won't let anyone bully you. Consort Yuanshu … … Consort Yuanshu isn't good. Let's wait until the new year. At the new year, zhen will make you an Imperial Consort and allow you to manage the six palaces. Beloved consort, what do you think? "
Consort Yuanshu's eyes filled with joy as she quickly knelt down to thank him. The Eighth Prince also followed to thank him. Then, the family of three hugged each other as they cried and laughed. Seeing Feng Yu Heng, she felt a chill.
This matter … … wasn't right!
