auspicious time has come

She straightened the sleeves of the robe, and the edge of the wide sleeves was embroidered with patterns of dragons and clouds with gold thread.

"Since the crown princess is pregnant...then as an elder in this palace, I should go and have a look." Princess Yongyang smiled and walked out of the inner hall, followed by the palace eunuch and inner eunuch.

The sky has not yet brightened, and the rain has stopped.

The palace lantern in Gong'e's hand illuminated the water under her feet, and reflected in the water were the expressions of Gong'e's inner eunuchs with their heads bowed and silent.

Princess Yongyang led people into the East Palace, and the guards who kept watch at night were completely powerless to stop her.

"His Royal Highness the eldest princess stays, the crown princess has not yet got up..."

In the inner hall, Yuejian just wanted to stop her when she heard the movement, but was forcibly taken down by two servants beside Princess Yongyang.

"The people in Chang'er Palace are so ignorant... all the way in, they are very noisy." Princess Yongyang sighed and looked at the bed who had just woken up and was sitting there with her hair down and only her coat on. The Crown Princess praised with a smile: "The Crown Princess is still calm and calm, she is worthy of being the daughter-in-law of my Li family."

"Auntie came here at such an hour... I don't know why?" The Crown Princess was covered by brocade, and asked with eyes full of alertness.

Princess Yongyang's eyes fell on her abdomen, and she asked with a smile: "My niece and daughter-in-law are pregnant, such a happy event, why do you want to hide it from me?"

The princess's eyes tightened suddenly.

"That's right." The eldest princess Yongyang said with emotion: "My niece doesn't believe me as an aunt... even a little girl like Jiayi has to be secretly sent out of the palace to hide, for fear that the palace will do something to her, even worse. What's more, the one in the belly at this time is very likely to be a little emperor's grandson?"

While she was speaking, she had already arrived at the side of the bed, and sat down on the side of the bed like an ordinary elder.

The tone was also unusually gentle: "It's just that my niece and daughter-in-law have kept this matter so secret, what exactly are they planning to do with this unborn baby?"

Facing those eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, the Crown Princess felt chills all over her body, she subconsciously curled up in the bed, tightly clutching the brocade quilt in front of her.

"Why is my niece so afraid of me? Could it be that I'm some kind of man-eating scourge?"

"Floods and ferocious beasts are not enough to fear..." The princess said firmly: "It is common for ferocious beasts to eat people. It is not common for people to eat people."

Princess Yongyang chuckled lightly: "It's not common for people to eat people, it's just that my niece and daughter-in-law rarely see them or don't care... You must know that in this world, cannibals are everywhere, especially when a man eats a woman. It's rare and ordinary. That is to say, Chang'er is more gentle and dedicated than ordinary men, which makes my niece and daughter-in-law so ignorant of the sufferings of the world."

The princess's eyes were red: "It is because of His Highness's kindness that you have been deceived for a long time——"

"Yes." Princess Yongyang did not deny it, and said casually: "Chang'er was born as a prince... If you stand tall, you will see gentle faces. This journey has been smooth, and I have never suffered any setbacks. To deceive, it is inevitable to be naive. But although Chang'er is benevolent, he is not stupid. As early as after his father passed away, he had vaguely doubted me..."

"But when he heard that my palace had a sudden emergency, and the symptoms were the same as those of my imperial brother, he was shaken again, and then he wondered if someone else was the poisoner, and his father and I were both killed by someone else. " Princess Yongyang sighed: "He is still too kind and soft-hearted, so his vision is limited, probably because he never thought that there would be someone in the world who would poison himself—"

Hearing what she said, the princess's heart grew colder.

One is the cold-bloodedness and indifference in the other party's tone, which is almost like that of a bystander.

The second is that since the other party told her these things, they obviously wouldn't give her a chance to say it...

Following the two servants walking over, Princess Yongyang Shi Shiran got up: "I still have to go to Yanying Hall to listen to the government, so I won't stay here any longer."

Seeing the white silk that was held in the hand of one of the servants, the Crown Princess looked terrified: "Come here!"

But before she finished speaking, there were indeed footsteps rushing into the inner hall.

Looking at the imperial guards of the Eastern Palace who came in with knives in their hands, Princess Yongyang said softly, "You are loyal."

The commander of the Imperial Guards of the Eastern Palace said solemnly: "His Royal Highness, please leave here!"

Princess Yongyang sneered: "There is no place in this palace that I can't come to, but you, you still can't recognize the situation... The prince is dead, what is the point of you sticking to this unowned east palace?" ?”

Nanny Xiang, who had mobilized the imperial guards, came to the side of the bed, hurriedly put on clothes for the princess, and helped her out of the bed.

The commander of the Imperial Guards of the Eastern Palace came to the Crown Princess, holding a knife to protect each other: "Before His Royal Highness left the palace, he told me to ensure the safety of the Crown Princess and the Princess. Although His Highness is gone, the Crown Princess and the Princess are still there. We Waiting for Zidang to follow to the death, and will never let anyone endanger the Crown Princess!"

His subordinates also showed no sign of wavering.

And the next moment, another group of guards broke in, and the leader was Qianqiwei General Tang Wen——

He raised his hand to salute Princess Yongyang, while his guards confronted the imperial guards of the Eastern Palace with knives.

"You..." The commander of the Imperial Army of the Eastern Palace looked at Tang Wen firmly: "This is the Eastern Palace. How dare you force your way in with knives. Are you openly helping others to usurp the throne and rebel!"

Tang Wen looked at his subordinates: "When I heard about the mutiny of the imperial guards in the Eastern Palace, I came here to check."

"Princess Li Wei set a trap to lure His Highness the Crown Prince out of the palace to ambush and assassinate him!" Nanny Xiang said firmly, "The Crown Princess is pregnant with His Royal Highness's heir, and the Eldest Princess has to come to the palace when she finds out about this. Killer! His wolf ambitions are clear, General Tang must not be deceived by him again, it is not too late to turn around now!"

Hearing that the Crown Princess was pregnant, Tang Wen's complexion changed slightly.

"It's nonsense." The eldest princess Yongyang looked up at the crown princess and the commander of the Eastern Palace Guards who was protecting her: "The crown princess is pregnant, but the belly is not Chang'er's flesh and blood. Command the evil seed that comes from adultery."

The commander of the imperial guards changed his expression greatly: "It's just ridiculous!...the name of the crown princess is so dirty!"

"The inner eunuch in the East Palace can testify to this matter." The eldest princess Yongyang said quietly: "How can this palace ignore such a scandal that damages the dignity of the royal family? Moreover, the crown princess claimed that this is Chang'er's flesh and blood, Commander Fu With such mutual protection, the two of them confuse the blood of the royal family and plan to take advantage of this evil to seize power. It is obvious—”

She said, looking at Tang Wen: "I think that such scandals should be cleared up as soon as possible... What does General Tang say?"

Under the repeated mood, Tang Wen lowered his eyes and struggled, and raised his hand to answer "Yes".

As his hand was raised and lowered, both sides met with swords.

"Protect the princess!"

"..."

Amidst the sound of fighting, Princess Yongyang left the inner hall unhurriedly.

She wasn't worried about the possibility of failure.

The crown prince's confidant, the imperial guards of the Eastern Palace must be one in a hundred, but the one who really commands the guards in the palace is the Thousand Riders.

With fewer enemies, no matter how many elites, it's just a dying struggle.

Just take this opportunity to clear them all at once, so as not to increase troubles in the future.

……

On the other side, Liu Qian had arrived in the dark room where Jiang Zhengfu was detained.

"Master Jiang, please go on your way."

As Liu Qian's words fell, the servant beside him came forward holding a glass of wine.
