Feng Yu Heng was certain that there was something wrong with Emperor Tianwu's state. Although they looked like a happy family of three, the things that Emperor Tianwu said, did, and showed were all abnormal.
Feng Yu Heng thought that she understood Emperor Tianwu very well, or rather, she understood the former Emperor Tianwu very well. That old Emperor only had Consort Yun in his heart. Although he was a good father to his sons, he couldn't help but favor Xuan Tianming more. But now? Not only did he promise Consort Yuanshu the position of Imperial Consort, he even said that the future throne would be given to the Eighth Prince. Even though she could not see any signs of being threatened, it was still not normal behaviour. It was just that this matter was too strange, why did the Emperor's temperament undergo a 180-degree change? She couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she racked her brain.
After watching for a while, Feng Yu Heng could no longer bear to continue watching. This family of three was too natural and too harmonious. The imperial physicians that had been at the Emperor's side all retreated. It was as though having one more person would ruin this atmosphere. When she retreated, she heard the imperial physician who had retreated to the outer hall say, "The Emperor's words are very clear. The future throne will definitely be the Eighth Prince's. It seems like the wind in the court is about to change again!"
"That's right! What does the Eighth Prince call this? Is he fighting to live from the brink of death? This is too outrageous. His Majesty has changed too quickly. I always feel that something is not right. I can't figure it out! "
"What can't you figure out?" Someone said: "Isn't the harem like this? Today you are favored, tomorrow she is favored. Which consort doesn't think of a way to work on the Emperor? It depends on who is good enough to obtain the Emperor's favor. Imperial Concubine Yun has caused a ruckus for over 20 years. As I see it, His Majesty is also unable to endure it any longer. When he gets old, he needs someone with a good personality at his side. Someone who can make him happy, right? He can't wait for Consort Yun for a lifetime. Once Consort Yuanshu is favored, her son will naturally rise with the tide. This is a very normal thing. "
This person's words were reasonable because the imperial palace had been like this since ancient times. No one felt that there was anything wrong with it. This topic ended here. They could only calmly wait for the movements inside, afraid that something bad would happen to the Emperor's body.
Feng Yu Heng retreated. When she returned to Xuan Tianming's side, her brows were tightly furrowed. She didn't mention what had happened inside and only said: "If the palace doesn't need us, then let's go back! Or … … "She thought for a moment," We'll go to Winter Moon palace and see mother. As for what happened in Zhao He Hall, I'll tell you in detail after we leave the palace. "
Zhao He Hall was still lively. With the Empress leading the way, all the concubines and concubines joined together to denounce Consort Yuanshu inside. Unfortunately, there was no use in denouncing her. The people inside couldn't come out and the people outside couldn't go in. Separated by a door, all the harsh words lost their power. Gradually, the people lost interest. Since the imperial physician said that there was nothing wrong with the Emperor, there was no reason for them to continue causing a ruckus here. The prince doted on Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu, and that was Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu's ability. Even if they caused a ruckus, it was not something they could do.
Some people had another thought. For more than twenty years, Consort Yun had dominated the harem, but she didn't even see Emperor Tianwu's face. Thinking about it, the old Emperor was in his old age and couldn't hold on anymore, right? When people reached this age, they always wanted to be lively and warm around them. They always wanted to find the warmth of a family and prove that they were still young. Normal people were like this, much less the Emperor. This was also good. Today, Consort Yuanshu had changed the situation in the palace that had persisted for more than twenty years. Then in the future, it might be their turn again. They had bitterly waited for so many years. It was time to make a comeback.
The concubines and concubines were happy. They thought that Consort Yuanshu wouldn't have a strange temper like Consort Yun. If they could get closer to Consort Yuanshu, they might be able to share some rain with them. This was a very good thing.
Thus the condemnation gradually stopped. After a while, there were people that began to speak up for Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu. There were even people that said to the Empress: "Your Highness the Empress, you should try to understand His Majesty! At this age, how could he watch his son be beheaded? That was the flesh of his heart! If he cares for his son, he will naturally care for his son's birth mother. You haven't given birth before so you don't know. Mother and son are connected by heart, and father and son are also connected by heart. "
The Empress was so angry that she trembled. She wanted to say that she wasn't angry because of the relationship between father and son, nor was it because the Emperor had suddenly become close to Consort Yuanshu. For her, any prince was the same. She didn't give birth to any of them, and any concubine was the same. They were all inferior to her, the Empress. But Consort Yuanshu was different. That woman knew how to threaten. The Eighth Prince was also different. That prince's heart was too bad. Also, today's matter was very strange. She faintly felt that there was going to be a change in the palace, but she didn't know which direction this change was going to take. She felt a bit panicked.
She had no intention of paying attention to these short-sighted women. She turned around and wanted to find Feng Yu Heng. At this time, she felt that it was more reliable to talk to Feng Yu Heng. That girl would definitely have her own unique analysis of the current situation.
But now, there was no sign of Feng Yu Heng. The three people were already on their way to Winter Moon Palace. Unfortunately, they hadn't even walked halfway when they were stopped by a group of Imperial Guards — — "His Ninth Highness, His Seventh Highness, and Princess Ji'an, please forgive us. The Emperor has ordered that the palace is closed today. Other than the people in Zhao He Hall, no one is allowed to walk around the palace. "
The Imperial Guard in the palace had been in the hands of the Eighth Prince, Xuantian Mo, for a long time, so much so that he had changed people a long time ago. Although Xuan Tianming had taken over three days ago, in a short three days, he didn't have time to understand and adjust the Imperial Guard. As a result, Xuantian Mo's people were still in the palace. Now that they were stopped, they suddenly had a feeling that it was difficult to move an inch.
Since when did people stop them from entering the Imperial Palace?
"When did the Emperor give the order?" Xuan Tianming asked coldly.
That guard said: "Just now, about the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn."
The group frowned. That was to say, after Zhang Yuan left Zhao He Hall to give the order, there was someone else who immediately gave the order to the palace? They moved so quickly?
Xuan Tianming was unhappy. His hand moved slightly, and he was about to whip someone out of habit, but he was stopped by Xuan Tianhua. He heard Xuan Tianhua say in a low voice: "The palace has its own arrangements. Let's leave the palace for now and talk about it in my residence."
Feng Yu Heng also had the same idea. The two of them pulled Xuan Tianming towards the palace gates, one on each side. As soon as they left the palace gates, they saw Wang Chuan anxiously standing outside with a medicine box, constantly looking inside. From time to time, the guards guarding the palace gates would remind her to stay away. Feng Yu Heng frowned and went forward. Wang Chuan quickly said: "Wangfei, the palace is forbidden. This servant can't go in." As she spoke, she quickly handed the medicine box in her hands to her: "Did you delay anything?"
Feng Yu Heng shook her head and didn't take the medicine box. She only followed Xuan Tianhua to his imperial carriage. Behind her, Huang Quan told Wang Chuan: "Even if the medicine box was brought over, it would be useless. Young Miss was not able to treat His Majesty's illness at all." After saying this, she quietly and quickly recounted what had happened in the Imperial Palace, causing Wang Chuan to open her mouth wide in shock.
The group got on Xuan Tianhua's imperial carriage and headed towards Chun Palace. When they arrived at Chun Palace, Feng Yu Heng told the two of them about what she saw in Zhao He Hall. Hearing this, everyone frowned.
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan, as well as Bai Ze and Xuan Tianhua's personal attendants all looked at each other. They all felt that the change in the palace was strange. But as servants, they couldn't say anything. They could only stand quietly and wait for their masters' analysis.
Xuan Tianming's answer was: "In my opinion, laoyezi has most likely been possessed."
However, Xuan Tianhua said: "It's most likely that he's still sick. But what kind of illness it is, it still needs to be considered." As he spoke, he looked towards Feng Yu Heng. His meaning was clear. They weren't experts in determining Emperor Tianwu's illness, so Feng Yu Heng had to do it.
But Feng Yu Heng did not believe that she could openly enter the palace with the current situation. For a while, she furrowed her brow and felt conflicted.
"We have to think of a way to get mufei out." Xuan Tianming suddenly said, "I keep having a bad feeling. It's impossible for such a sudden change to occur in the palace for no reason. From what Heng Heng said, laoyezi shouldn't be acting. He also doesn't need to put on this kind of act for others to see. It's possible that he's being controlled by someone else. It's just that the other party's control methods are brilliant. We still can't see through it. But if mufei continues to remain in the palace, I keep feeling that it's not safe. It would be best to get her out. "
"But the palace is currently forbidden." Feng Yu Heng reminded Xuan Tianming, "It's impossible to act openly. Not to mention getting her out, I fear that we won't even be able to enter. I'll think of a way. I guarantee that mufei will be brought out of the palace in one piece. "
"After she comes out, send her to my place." Xuan Tianhua did not ask what method she would use to bring Consort Yun back. He just continued to talk about the subsequent arrangements, "I will tidy up the courtyard. Either way, she's used to living here. As long as it's safe, she can do whatever she wants! As for Father Emperor … sister-in-law, it would be best if you think of a way to enter the palace to take a look. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "I'll think of a way."
They discussed this matter for a while. After eating at the Chun Palace, Xuan Tianming brought his wife back to the palace. On the way back, they saw that the front of the Sheng Palace was very lively. Many guards and palace servants were taking care of something. Cart after cart of things were being transported into the palace. The Sheng Palace's housekeeper stood in front of the door with a red face. He was loudly shouting: "Be careful! These are all good things. If you break them, you can't afford to pay for them! Hmph! So what if they go into the national treasury? Won't they still have to obediently return them! "
With these words, they understood that the things being transported into the palace were the good things that had been taken from the Sheng Palace a few days ago and put into the national treasury.
Even Feng Yu Heng could not help but sigh, "They really are moving too quickly. It's as if everything had been prepared beforehand. They were just waiting for the Emperor to give the decree. They immediately began to work."
Xuan Tianming did not speak. It was unknown what he was thinking silently. Seeing that the Imperial Palace Yu was right in front of them, he finally spoke: "Let's go into the palace together tonight! If I don't see it for myself, I won't feel at ease. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Alright, tonight, I will bring you into the palace."
