The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 118 Entering the Palace
But Mu Xu didn't have the time to think about why Daiyu was there, he could only deal with his grandmother first, "It's so late, why did I startle my grandmother, I was thinking of giving you a surprise tomorrow morning. "

Concubine Zhang didn't care what he said, she grabbed his hand and went directly into the room accompanied by Daiyu and Chuntao.Seeing the blood that hadn't been drained, several people all let out a burst of exclamation.Concubine Zhang was about to lift his outer robe to check, Daiyu was embarrassed, she hurriedly covered her face with a veil and walked out.

After careful examination and confirmation that Mu Xu was indeed only slightly injured, Concubine Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still ordered Chuntao to go to the imperial doctor as soon as possible.

Mu Xu knew that she couldn't hold her back, but she still told Chuntao, "Just go to the street and ask for a doctor, but forget about the imperial doctor, I'm afraid they can't be invited right now."

Chuntao turned to look at Concubine Zhang, and after seeing her nodding, she hurried out.After she left, Concubine Zhang frowned, "What did you mean just now, did something happen?"

Mu Xu secretly praised his grandmother's quick response, then leaned close to her ear, and whispered to her about the serious injury of the emperor.After hearing this, Concubine Zhang recited Amitabha, and then sighed, "Oh, I'm afraid there will be another wave."

After sighing, she didn't say any more, and then found that Daiyu was not there, so she ordered Mei Jian to invite Daiyu to come in.

After Daiyu came in, she first glanced at Mu Xu with concern, and she was relieved when she saw that his face was unchanged, but she still asked with concern, "Brother Mu, was your injury serious?"

Mu Xu asked her to sit down, and ordered someone to serve a bowl of ginseng tea for her and grandmother, and then replied with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, sister, it's just some minor injuries, it doesn't matter."

Daiyu wanted to say more, but found out in vain that Concubine Zhang was looking at the two of them with a smile, she hurriedly stopped talking, her face was stained with some red frost.

Mu Xu saw that she was shy, so he helped her out, "By the way, Uncle Lin has also returned home, and I personally sent him back. Also, my sister can rest assured that he hasn't hurt a single hair."

"Thank you, Brother Mu." Daiyu got up and bowed her body, she didn't know whether it was Xie Muxu who sent her father back home, or Xie Muxu who rescued her.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, it's all from my family, don't thank me here and there, the old lady's eyes are dizzy."

When Mu Xu heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, then sat down and chatted with Concubine Zhang.

Half an hour later, the doctor was invited back, and Concubine Zhang personally watched over it. After hearing the doctor say that Mu Xu was only injured on the skin, and watching the doctor put on the medicine, she felt relieved and refused to let Mu Xu get up to see him off. , And after telling him to take a good rest, he and Daiyu went with the maid.

That night Mu Xu didn't sleep well, he kept thinking about his thoughts, and he didn't feel sleepy until midnight. He felt someone calling him softly in a daze. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was Mei who was sleeping outside on vigil. sword.

Seeing that he was awake, Mei Jian said, "My lord, someone is coming from the palace, and I summon you to enter the palace immediately."

Mu Xu was startled, looked out the window, and found that it was pitch black outside, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, what time is it?"

Facing his continuous questioning, Mei Jian replied unhurriedly, "The people from the palace only said that there was something urgent, but the time has just arrived at Maoshi."

While Mu Xu asked Mei Jian to help him dress, he wondered why the palace called him. It's only five o'clock, what could the palace call him for?He thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why, so he changed his clothes, washed up casually, and headed towards the front yard.

As soon as he arrived at the front yard, a eunuch who had never seen before hurriedly came to him, bowed to him, and before he could speak, he said eagerly, "Your Majesty, the empress wants you to enter the palace immediately, let's go quickly. "

Hearing that he was summoned by the queen, Mu Xu was stunned. He wanted to ask what was the matter, but seeing his anxious look, he had no choice but to hide the question in his heart, followed the eunuch out of the mansion, and rode towards the palace together. .

On the way, he knocked around a few words, and found that the eunuch didn't know about it, and the only news he got was that the empress had summoned him in Funing Palace, where the emperor lived daily.

Mu Xu followed the eunuch all the way outside the Funing Palace, Xia Shouzhong who had been waiting here for a long time saw that he had arrived, he didn't notify him, and walked directly with Mu Xu.Passing through several halls, until they came to the outside of the East Nuan Pavilion, Xia Shouzhong guarded the door by himself, signaling Mu Xu to go in by himself.

As soon as Mu Xu entered, he smelled a smell of medicine first, and then he looked at the layout inside, and guessed that this was the emperor's bedroom, because Empress Chen and Tu Zhen were standing beside a dragon bed, as if talking about something .Mu Xu didn't want to look any further, so he hurried to the two of them, and was about to salute when he was stopped by the queen.

Empress Chen said softly, "Stop being so polite, your uncle has something to tell you."

Mu Xu was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly looked towards the bed, and sure enough, he saw Emperor Jiading looking at him.He hurriedly leaned back and said, "Your Majesty, what can I order?"

Emperor Jiading snorted, and then spoke with difficulty, "I want you to take over the Longxiang Army first and be responsible for guarding the palace."

Mu Xu's first reaction was that the emperor was trying to test him, and Dang even refused, "Your Majesty, the imperial court has a rule that foreign feudal vassals are not allowed to command troops in the imperial court. Besides, isn't there General Chen?"

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jiading shook his head lightly, "You don't have to worry too much, I just let you take charge temporarily. As for Chen Ting, I want to order him to take over the Beijing camp." Talking too much has already consumed too much of his energy. Seeing this, Empress Chen picked up the jade bowl at the side and fed him a mouthful of the medicine inside.

After a while, I don't know what Empress Chen fed Emperor Jiading, his complexion turned rosy, and he continued, "Although that Wang Ziteng surrendered to me in the end, how dare I trust such a person again, but at present I haven't figured out how to deal with him yet."

Hearing his words, Mu Xu's heart moved, and he remembered Wang Ziteng's last official position in the original book, and immediately said, "Since His Majesty is in a dilemma, how to reward him, then promote him to be an inspector of nine provinces, I think he will be very grateful." .”

When Emperor Jiading heard it, his eyes lit up, he laughed and coughed, which made Empress Chen and Tu Zhen nervous again, but luckily he stopped after coughing a few times, and then saw a smile on his face "Nephew is a good idea." After speaking, he ordered Wang An who was standing silently at the end of the bed, "You take a copy of the edict and let Xu'er write it."

Wang An responded respectfully, and after a while, he brought a blank edict and handed it to Mu Xu together with the pen.Mu Xu didn't refuse, and wrote an imperial edict with a swipe of his pen, and then showed it to Emperor Jiading. After reading it, Emperor Jiading nodded to Empress Chen.Empress Chen understood, took out the seal and stamped it.

Seeing that everything was in order, Emperor Jiading said to Mu Xu, "You go and hand over to Chen Ting now, and give him this edict by the way, ordering him to leave immediately to take over the Beijing camp after receiving the edict, without any mistakes."

Mu Xu took the imperial edict from Empress Chen, bowed to the emperor and empress, nodded with Tu Zhen, and strode out.

When Mu Xu left, Emperor Jiading asked Wang An to step back, waved to Tu Zhen to sit beside him, and then told him, "Remember, after you ascend the throne, remove Xu'er from the Xiuyiwei and Longxiang Army." He will be transferred, and he will be appointed as the commander of Long Jinwei."

When Tu Zhen heard the first sentence, he wanted to say that he didn't want to be the emperor, but when he heard the following words, he immediately retorted, "Father, my cousin is always more reliable than others. Besides, he has always had a good relationship with the baby. And why guard him so much, wouldn't it be chilling."

Seeing her son talking like this, Empress Chen quickly patted the back of his head, and reprimanded, "Your father is planning for you at this time, how can you talk to him like this?"

Tu Zhen also realized that he shouldn't have disobeyed his father, so he knelt down to plead guilty, but Emperor Jiading took his hand and shook his head slightly, "It's okay, my son has a generous temperament, what's wrong?" Then he explained carefully road,
"I know that you and Xu'er have a good relationship, so I arranged for him to guard the palace to ensure that you can succeed to the throne smoothly. But because of this, you should listen to your father's future arrangements for him. Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s for you, it’s a long-term solution.”

In fact, Tu Zhen also understood the deep meaning of his father's arrangement. Although he didn't quite agree with it in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything more at the moment, so he nodded seriously, "Yes, my son must listen to my father."
