Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

The last time I had this premonition, it was my father who was about to abolish me and replace my younger brother King De as the crown prince.

Relying on this sense of crisis, he got in touch with Li Xian in time.Li Xian immediately went to the palace to persuade him, and let himself cry and beg in front of the first emperor, so that he kept his crown prince.

He quietly arranged a way out for Fang Yuanzhi.

Fang Yuanzhi also noticed Zhu Jianshen's recent uneasiness.

He was restless day and night, and even gave up the love affairs that he was very interested in before.

She has never felt that being with a king is like a tiger, but she has a better understanding of Zhu Jianshen's precarious crisis.

But she can't do anything.

The weather was extremely hot that day. In the middle of the afternoon, the sky was as dark as night, and the torrential rain poured down.

Zhu Jianshen held Fang Yuanzhi's arm and watched the rain on the porch.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Yuanzhi, if there is an emergency, I will arrange someone to take you out of the palace. At that time, you can go south and don't go back to the capital."

Fang Yuanzhi was stunned.

How is this situation similar to when Junxin and her parted ways? !

She held back her tears, and smiled chicly: "Don't worry, I'm so good. If something happens, I will definitely run faster than a rabbit!"

A night of lightning, thunder and torrential rain.

Before it was dark, a servant rushed out of the Wenhua Palace covered in water and shouted: "The Empress Dowager Ciyi is dead! The Empress Dowager Ciyi is dead!"

When Zhu Jianshen heard the news, his face was serious, and he quickly issued several instructions: "Liang Fang, the servant, and Fang Yuanzhi, the court lady, are transferred to Anxi Palace, and they are not allowed to go out unless ordered!"

"Qin Ji, go and watch all the servants in Renshou Palace! Interrogate them one by one!"

"Xuan Cabinet, Supervisor of Rituals, Ministry of Rites, attend the funeral for Empress Dowager Ciyi!"

Before Fang Yuanzhi left, he only saw the young man look at him seriously.

Didn't even have time to say goodbye.

She resented her own weakness somewhat.

Every time she encountered a major event, she was arranged to hide aside, and her man endured the storm alone.

Fang Yuanzhi couldn't understand it.

How could the sudden death of Empress Dowager Ciyi make Zhu Jianshen so nervous, as if facing a formidable enemy?

But she knew that the relationship between Zhu Jianshen and his aunt was not very good, and she didn't even let herself drink the water in Renshou Palace.

Anxi Palace is a remote palace in the northeast of the palace. It is dilapidated and old. There are only two old servants guarding the gate here.

Once the gate was closed, no one noticed it.

Fang Yuanzhi had no choice but to hang up a picture of Sakyamuni given to her by her servant who had been cured before, and knelt down to pray day and night.

"May the Buddha bless you. Your Majesty Zhu Jianshen is an auspicious person and auspicious person. He turns bad luck into good fortune and brings good luck in death. Is it possible to be happy... The believer is willing to sacrifice the happiness of the rest of her life, and ask the Buddha for mercy and blessing..."

I don't know if it was the pious prayer that moved the heavens, but on the third day, an unexpected visitor came outside the gate of Anxi Palace, an unfamiliar servant.

"But Miss Fang? The British Duke asks to see the girl."

Fang Yuanzhi was surprised.

She didn't know the British Duke.

"What evidence? What is it?"

"Mr. Zhang Cong of the Duke's Mansion was given medicine by the girl, and she said that he could be cured after taking it for nine months. Now that the medicine is running out, the British Duke wants to ask the girl to give the medicine to save the life of his nephew."

The servant handed Fang Yuanzhi a pill.It was the medicine she gave Zhang Cong.

This medicine is extremely difficult to make, and now only Zhang Cong is using it in the capital, and there are no fakes.

Fang Yuanzhi wanted to go out, but Liang Fang wanted to stop her.

Fang Yuanzhi looked at him: "You can't stop me, if you are interested, you can go with me."

Liang Fang had no choice but to follow Fang Yuanzhi.

On a secluded corridor, Fang Yuanzhi saw a tall man in plain clothes with his hands behind his back.Because his back was facing Yuan Zhi's direction, he didn't know his face.

Fang Yuanzhi stepped forward to salute: "My servant pays homage to the British Lord."

The man turned around, with sharp brows and star eyes, a handsome face, and a good look!Looking at the age, he is only 26 and seven years old.

"Miss Yuan Zhi, you don't need to be too polite. Speaking of which, my cousin is engaged to your elder brother. After all, the girl can be called Brother Mao."

Fang Yuanzhi's pupils shrank slightly.

This person is so strange, he came here to make friends.It seems that he is the British Duke Zhang Mao.

However, she still remonstrated like a stream: "Brother Mao, why do you want to find Yuan Zhi?"

Zhang Mao's eyes narrowed, and after glancing at Liang Fang beside Yuan Zhi, he said briefly but forcefully: "King De has taken refuge in the Sun family. Please be sure to tell the emperor about this."

Fang Yuanzhi was amazed: "Why didn't the Duke directly report to the emperor?"

Zhang Mao's eyes darkened slightly: "There is an old rift between our British government and the emperor, he may not believe it. However, this matter is of great importance, so don't take it as a joke!"

Fang Yuanzhi asked: "Does the Duke have any other orders?"

Zhang Mao was silent, but still said: "If the girl has any doubts, please ask Chen Zhi, who entrusted the internal supervisor, to ask, but if you have something to ask, you will do your best."

Fang Yuanzhi felt weird, this person was very aggressive when meeting him for the first time.

"If I ask the Duke to support the emperor so that he does not fall, can the Duke also do his best?"

Zhang Mao frowned, he didn't expect her to directly pose a problem to her.

Zhang Mao didn't hesitate at the moment: "Girl, if you have something to ask, Mao will naturally try her best."

Fang Yuanzhi was inexplicably surprised, but she still saluted solemnly: "Then Yuan Zhi is here to make a solemn request that the British Duke protect the safety of the Emperor, and Yuan Zhi wishes to repay the Duke and even the British Government with all his heart."

Her reward is worthless, but if Zhu Jianshen is safe and sound, he can naturally repay him for himself.

Zhang Mao was unequivocal: "Once Mao speaks a word, it's hard to follow!"

Fang Yuanzhi bid farewell to Zhang Mao, went back to Anxi Palace and changed into a servant's clothes, and went to Wenhua Palace with Liang Fang after dark.

Liang Fang first went in to report.

Fang Yuanzhi was allowed in after a while.

Only then did she know that if Zhu Jianshen hadn't given the green light in the past, how could she come and go freely in Wenhua Palace?
Fang Yuanzhi saw Zhu Jianshen in the hall.In the hall, there are a group of middle-aged and elderly eunuchs dressed as eunuchs.

Zhu Jianshen sat behind the imperial case, dressed in white cloth, with a dignified face.

"Yuan Zhi, what is there to play?"

Fang Yuanzhi looked around, hesitated to speak.

Zhu Jianshen's eyes became darker, and he still said: "These are old people in the palace, and I respect them all. Yuan Zhi said it's okay."

Fang Yuanzhi said in a loud voice: "British Duke Zhang Mao came to find Yuanzhi today and said that King De had fallen to Sun's family."

As soon as this statement came out, all four were shocked!

An old man gasped: "No wonder..."

Zhu Jianshen's ears moved, and he asked the old man, "Eunuch Chen, what's the reason?"

Eunuch Chen has some wrinkles on his face, he hasn't had a beard for a hundred years, and he looks like he is 60 or [-] years old.

"The slave has been on duty as the supervisor of Zhidian. The servant's grandson, Chen Baiyun, met Feng Jian, the eldest companion of King Ji three days ago. After returning from the imperial hospital, he followed King Ji to Renshou Palace to deliver cakes. He said that King Ji personally made them for the queen mother." Birthday gift..."

Zhu Jianshen's pupils shrank.

Zhidian Supervisor is a Qingshui yamen, mainly in charge of sanitation and sanitation of various palaces.

Eunuch Chen has been in charge of the Zhidian Supervisor for decades, and his disciples and grandchildren are all over the palace, and he has a huge news network.
