”Yes …” Old Ancestor, something bad has happened … This servant has something important to report. ” As he spoke, he looked towards the empress and Rong'er.
Seeing Cao Zhong's expression, the Queen was afraid that others would hear. She quickly got up and said with a smile, ”Old Ancestor, you have something to do. We will head back first.”
The empress dowager waved her hand. ”Empress, take a seat. Cao Zhong, the empress is the head of a palace and the Noble Lady Rong is not an outsider. If you have something to say, say it.
After the empress dowager gave her orders, all the palace maids left, and the wet nurse carried Cha Yin out. Seeing that everyone had left, Cao Zhong said with a tremble, ”Old Ancestor, something terrible has happened, this servant just received news from the Internal Affairs Bureau that King Wu Sanguang of the Pingxi Kingdom killed the Yunnan Patrol Office's Zhu Guogui ten years ago and imprisoned all of the imperial officials. Furthermore, they sealed off the border with Yun Gui. Cao Zhong raised his head and said with a sobbing tone, ”Old Ancestor... ”The king of Pingxi is rebelling …”
”What?” The empress dowager was greatly shocked, as were Rong'er and the empress. The empress dowager stood up and asked anxiously, ”Is there any other news?”
”No ….” ”No, the internal department just got the news and is in a hurry to pass it on to the emperor and the empress dowager.” Cao Zhong replied nervously.
”Where is the Emperor now?” the Empress Dowager asked sternly.
”Huang …” The Emperor is … Meet with the ministers at the Heartbreak Palace. ” Seeing that the empress dowager was infuriated, Cao Zhong was even more frightened to the point of being speechless.
”Go, send a message to the emperor. When you see the minister, come here immediately, and tell the inner palace that it is forbidden to spread this message again. From today on, all the people in the imperial harem are not allowed to leave the palace, and the gates of the harem are locked tight. No one is allowed to leave the palace for any reason. The empress dowager ordered.
”Your servant accepts the decree.” After Master Cao finished speaking, he left.
The empress dowager felt her head spin as she sat down on the warm brick bed. ”Old Ancestor.” Beside her, Lama Nun hurried to support her, while the empress and Rong'er hurried to the empress dowager's side.
”What did This Dowager say? In the end, the emperor is still young. Just by capturing him, he thinks he's amazing. ” ”If he, Wu Sanguan, can do it again, then he can do it a second time. Back then, when Wu Sanguan was a woman, even Chen Yuan could do it. Now that he wants to remove his soldiers, he has to do it a second time!”
”Old Ancestor … ”Don't worry, we've already made it. If we blame the Emperor, it will only make the Emperor more chaotic. Rong'er thinks that the Old Ancestor should think along with the Emperor about what to do.” Rong'er consoled her on the side. He was also afraid that the Empress Dowager would punish the Emperor.
”Yes, that's right.” The empress dowager nodded. ”We can't mess around on our own. Things have already happened, so we have to think of a way to resolve it. We can't mess around …” ”Listen up, don't blame the emperor. Complaining now will only make the emperor more depressed. This one will think with the emperor about what to do.” As long as the empress dowager didn't complain, who would dare complain to the emperor? Rong'er was relieved, but his heart began to worry. If the king of Pingxi turned the tables, the king of Pingxi would be ruthless.
”Right, empress, Rong'er, only I know about this matter in the imperial palace. I believe in all of you, so don't tell anyone, lest the palace fall into a state of chaos.” The empress dowager ordered.
”Old Ancestor, don't worry. Rong'er and I will not say anything.” ”Yes,” the empress replied, and Rong'er nodded.
The empress dowager nodded her head wearily and said softly, ”Such a big incident has happened, but I don't know how the situation is right now. The empress dowager nodded tiredly and said,” Such a big incident has happened, I don't know how the situation is right now. The empress dowager raised her head to look at the empress and Rong'er, her words clear and forceful. Phase, Letter, Large, Clear! ”
The empress and Rong'er replied in unison. They exhorted the empress dowager to pay attention to her body before retreating, bringing Sai Yuechan back to the palace.
Rong'er returned to her own room. Xiaoqing, who had been accompanying her, asked curiously, ”Master, what happened? Why are you making us all leave?”
”Little girl, you like to play around with me. If you need to ask about something in the future, then don't ask about it. If there's nothing else, then I'm tired. You guys can leave. I'll be quiet for a while.” Rong'er ordered.
Xiaoqing pursed her lips, retreating together with Qiu E, who was serving them.
Rong'er sat on the warm brick bed and couldn't help but worry for the emperor. She believed that the Emperor would definitely pass through this ordeal. She had always believed that the Emperor was the Son of Heaven, the unrivaled man in the world, the Buddha in the sky, please bless the Emperor. If the Emperor can safely pass through this ordeal, Rong'er will definitely be pious and sincerely worship Buddha.
Rong'er only wanted to see the Emperor as soon as possible … However, with such a huge incident, would she still be able to see the emperor?
