The paranoid prince is crazy, but I have been quietly reborn

Chapter 196 Returning to Kyoto overnight to save the princess

At the moment when Chu Yu's troops slowly entered Qingzhou City, great changes took place in the Imperial Palace in Kyoto.

Since Su Youning planned to enter the palace, she would go to the Taicheng Hall every day, and together with the imperial physicians, administer acupuncture, fumigate and feed the emperor.

The Empress Dowager would also come every day to inquire about the progress of the treatment of the Emperor.

The people who ordered the imperial concubine to be placed next to Su Youning followed her in and out of the Taicheng Hall every day, and traveled between the Taicheng Hall and the Taicheng Hospital according to her instructions.

Every day after Su Youning returned to the Suiyu Palace, they would quietly report the emperor's situation to Nanny Tang on time, and then Nanny Tang would report back to the Imperial Concubine Ling.

Su Youning has been in the palace for five days. As the emperor sleeps longer, there are more and more rumors in the palace, the streets and alleys.

Some people say that the emperor has already died, but now that the Southern Dynasty is going through the most difficult time of the year, the palace concealed the news of the emperor's funeral in order to stabilize the situation in the Southern Dynasty.

Some people say that the emperor is under control, and the one who controls the emperor is Princess Yu of Prince Yu's Mansion. The reason is that the emperor allowed His Royal Highness Prince Yu to leave Beijing to inspect the city, which caused him to lose his life.

Su Youning just pretended not to hear these rumors among the maids and servants in the palace, but when those people said that His Royal Highness King Yu had lost his life, she felt distressed after all.

Every day she wakes up entangled and struggling, and she knows that as time goes by, the chances of Chu Yu being safe and sound will become smaller and smaller.

Chu Nan followed the Empress Dowager to the Taicheng Hall twice. When the two looked at each other, Chu Nan always shook his head slightly. She knew that there was no news of Chu Yu outside the palace.

After being heartbroken and desperate again and again, Su Youning would regain his composure.

As long as she didn't hear the news of Chu Yu's death, as long as she didn't see Chu Yu for a day, she would believe that Chu Yu was still alive.

And what she has to do is to persevere, to replace Chu Yu, the queen mother, the emperor and Nanchao.

Three days ago, when Chu Nan entered the palace, Madam Xia, who was beside the queen mother, brought the news.

After hearing the news, Su Youning knew that the time was ripe.

Two days ago, in the Taicheng Hall, the emperor suddenly woke up and even spoke to Su Youning.

This scene was completely watched by the two eunuchs who followed Su Youning, and the news fell to Nanny Tang that night.

Knowing that the emperor showed signs of waking up, and even started talking to Su Youning, Nanny Tang frowned.

Without a moment's delay, Madam Tang immediately reported the news to the imperial concubine Ling. She couldn't help feeling flustered, and called Chu Lian into the palace overnight because she called her sick. She needed to have a good discussion with her son.

The Broken Jade Hall is where the imperial concubine sleeps.

"Lian'er, where did you get the medicine? Why did the emperor wake up so easily?"

The imperial concubine's tone could not hide her anxiety, and even a trace of complaint.

Chu Lian originally heard that his mother and concubine were seriously ill, so he came here on a snowy night, and now he was relieved to see his mother and concubine intact, but when he heard that the emperor was awake, his face darkened.

"This is impossible, is it because you have read wrong, Concubine Mu?"

The Imperial Concubine Ling stood up, looked coldly at the heavy snow outside the palace, and said word by word.

"It can't be wrong."

"The people sent by this palace are all trustworthy people. They all heard the emperor speak with their own ears. Although it is only a short sentence, it is clearly a sign of improvement."

Chu Lian's face became more and more gloomy. After thinking for a while, he stepped forward and bowed to salute.

"Mother and concubine, since the father is showing signs of improvement, it is better for us to act first."

The imperial concubine was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at Chu Lian, and asked in disbelief.

"You mean to make a false statement?"

Chu Lian nodded slightly, his face solemn.

"You just need to put your son's name in the box behind the portrait of the ancestor in Taicheng Hall, and it will be settled."

"It's too risky, if someone finds out"

The imperial concubine shook her head again and again.

Chu Lian felt that this was the best way now, so he persuaded him patiently.

"Mother and concubine, if the father wakes up, not only will we miss such a good opportunity, but we may also be found out that we have harmed the father."

"And there is another matter. The army sent to Huizhou for disaster relief guarded Huizhou City. They neither entered the city for disaster relief nor prevented Chu Yu from leaving. But Huizhou City was like an iron bucket, and no news could come out. I don’t know if he is dead or alive, but his legs are very good, and the emperor has always valued him, if he comes back, will there still be a place for my ministers in this capital?"

Chu Lianzi's words and sentences made the imperial concubine's heart go to the heart. Why didn't she want her son to ascend to a high position, but she still hesitated.

"But our plan is not at this moment. Everything is not arranged properly now, and there is no one available in the capital's army. Even if you put your name in the brocade box behind the portrait, it will be easily revealed as soon as the emperor wakes up." us."

Concubine Ling analyzed the current situation, and seeing Chu Lian's ruthless expression, she subconsciously asked.

"Could it be that you want the emperor to do it now"

Dongchang Wan Guiquan has already stated that if Chu Lian wants to sit in a high position, only the emperor dies, otherwise Chu Lian will not have a chance given the emperor's preference for Chu Yu.

This is also the main reason why Huang Guifei, Chu Lian and Dongchang joined forces.

The Royal Concubine Ling was already ready to kill the Emperor, but it is a pity that they still have few troops in their hands. There are Imperial Forest Army and Guards Guards in the palace. Once the Emperor dies, the Empress Dowager and Chu Nan faction will come out to stop them implementation of the plan.

Chu Lian suddenly laughed.

"Mother and concubine don't have to worry, even if there are people who object at that time, it won't help."

The imperial concubine was taken aback.

"Why?"

Chu Lian suddenly cupped his hands and saluted the imperial concubine Ling.

"This matter is thanks to the foresight of the mother and concubine, who knew that Mu Qingshu had an affair with the concubine of the Lin family, so that the minister married Lin Yiman early, and now Lin Yiman really helped the minister to build a bridge. The soldiers and horses in the general's mansion will be used by the ministers."

The imperial concubine was overjoyed, she grabbed Chu Lian's hand and asked.

"Is this true?"

Chu Lian nodded slightly, with greed shining in his eyes.

"Mother, don't worry, it's natural."

The rebellion plan ran through Chu Lian's mind quickly. Before the emperor was fully awake, he put his name in the portrait, let the emperor have a funeral, and then announced his name in the brocade box to the world. If anyone refuses to follow, Send troops to suppress it.

Imperial Concubine Ling naturally wanted to see this scene, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

"Okay, your name will be put in by this palace, you just need to appease the people in the general's mansion."

"In addition, go to the East Factory again and ask Wan Guiquan to find some people to sneak into the palace. Now that the matter has come to this point, Su Youning doesn't have to stay any longer. It is also a favor you sold to Wan Guiquan."

Chu Lian cupped his hands in response and exited the bedroom.

The imperial concubine Ling walked slowly to the door of the bedroom, she was wearing a thin dress and only a cloak.

But she didn't feel cold at all, on the contrary, her whole body boiled up, watching the heavy snow falling one after another, a cold smile appeared on the face of the imperial concubine.

She finally waited for this moment!

Her son will ascend to the position of emperor in the Southern Dynasty, and she will be the most honorable Queen Mother in the Southern Dynasty!
When Wan Guiquan of Dongchang heard the news, he looked at Chu Lian with a stern smile.

"Since the plan is ahead of schedule, our family naturally wants to congratulate His Royal Highness Lian Wang."

A smile appeared on Chu Lian's face.

"Tomorrow you will bring people into the palace, and the former glory of Dongchang will not be here. Tomorrow, Wan Dugong will have revenge and revenge."

Wan Gui fully understood what Chu Lian meant.

Chu Yu's bloodbath of Dongchang was a thorn in Wan Guiquan's heart, and it got deeper and deeper. If Chu Yu's love in his heart was not destroyed, he would not be able to rest in peace even if he died.

Chu Lian left Dongchang triumphantly, even when he spoke just now, it seemed that he had done Dongchang a lot of favors.

The newly promoted eunuch in charge of the East Factory frowned and whispered beside Wan Guiquan.

"Duke, these princes are becoming more and more unruly now, and they don't pay much attention to talking about Dongchang."

Wan Guiquan raised his eyebrows, glanced at the bowed eunuch beside him, but did not speak.

His words were true, Wan Guiquan remembered that only Chu Wen would respectfully call him Duke Wan, and the other princes had no respect for him.

"Our family is nothing but eunuchs!"

Even though Wan Guiquan said that, his eerie eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the direction Chu Lian was leaving, and clenched his hands into fists.

"Even if the Southern Dynasties are changing, Duke Du is still a human being."

Hearing the flattery of the eunuch in charge, Wan Guiquan sneered.

"Let him be happy for a few days, and when the East Factory rests for a while, he will surely get back the lost things."

The plan of Imperial Concubine Ling and Chu Lian is in full swing.

The second day Su Youning received the news from Chu Nan.

The Royal Concubine Ling ignored the heavy snow early in the morning and took Madam Tang to ask the Queen Mother for instructions.

"Empress Dowager, today is the day when the concubine enters the hidden mansion. Whenever the concubine thinks of the emperor, his heart aches. Please allow the concubine to go to the Taicheng Hall today to wait for the emperor for a day."

The queen mother twirled the beads, looked up at the imperial concubine Ling who was kneeling on the ground crying, with a hint of impatience on her face.

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with the palace now, what's the point of crying like this, if you want to wait for the sickness, you can do whatever you want."

Imperial Concubine Ling lowered her head slightly, the corners of her mouth twitched when she heard what the Empress Dowager said, and when she raised her eyes, she looked sad again.

"My concubine, thank you Queen Mother."

For a whole day, the imperial concubine Ling half-kneeled in front of the dragon couch, watching Su Youning carefully apply the needles for the emperor, and then personally feed the emperor the medicine.

There was no mistake or omission in every step, which made the imperial concubine even more determined that she must put her son's name in the brocade box today.

It wasn't until nightfall that Su Youning and the other imperial physicians prepared to get up and leave.

Seeing this, the imperial concubine said coldly.

"Today the Empress Dowager allowed me to wait here. You all have worked hard all day. Step back and leave the rest to me."

With a calm face, Su Youning exited the Taicheng Hall together with the imperial physicians.

As night fell slowly, Su Youning, who had walked to the entrance of the Taicheng Hall, forgot to look back at the direction of the main hall. The little hands in his wide sleeves were blown cold by the wind, but his eyes were full of firmness.

I said silently in my heart, soon, soon!
Late at night, in the main hall of Taicheng Hall, the emperor fell asleep with his eyes closed.

The eunuchs and maidservants who were supposed to serve here were kicked out by Imperial Concubine Ling, and she took out a note from the wide cuff of the palace dress.

Looking at the note, there are only a few short words on it: Chu Lian is the crown prince of the Southern Dynasty.

Concubine Ling pushed the emperor on the couch with trembling hands, and after seeing that he didn't respond, she walked lightly behind the dragon and phoenix screen and in front of the portrait of the ancestors of the Southern Dynasty.

He reached out to take down the portrait, then took off the box inside, opened it and looked at the empty box, which made the imperial concubine smile slightly.

"Can I help you?"
