Chapter 311
The mother and son returned to Hexin Garden, and as soon as they were seated, Concubine Lian spoke first.

"Yi'er, is there Yunxiang's whereabouts?"

Concubine Lian does not call Miss Murong but Yunxiang, which somewhat surprises Bailiyi. Maybe she wants to use this method to get closer to him.

"not yet!"

Bai Liyi obviously didn't want to say more about this. In his opinion, Concubine Lian had somewhat participated in Emperor Hengchang's persecution of him. Since then, there has been a estrangement between mother and child.

"That……"

"Mother and concubine, how could the father be assassinated?"

Concubine Lian still wanted to ask a few more questions, but Bailiyi quickly opened her mouth and changed the topic to Emperor Hengchang.

Concubine Lian sighed, and in the end she didn't ask any more questions about Murong Yunxiang.

"Actually, the concubine mother doesn't really know what's going on..."

Concubine Lian frowned, as if she was trying to remember something.

"During the Chinese New Year, there was a grand banquet in the palace. Daoist Yao, General Zheng and General Zhao all attended. Your father was in a good mood and drank a lot of wine. During the period, he also mentioned that Yunxiang is the descendant matter……"

Listening to Concubine Lian's narration, Bailiyi could imagine the lively scene that day, but she just smiled and said nothing.

"After that, everything was normal for a few days. Your royal father would come here every day, Yi'er, your royal father actually cares about you very much..."

Concubine Lian is naturally aware of the subtlety between Bailiyi and Emperor Hengchang, and all she can do is try to ease the conflict between the two.

"And then what?"

Bailiyi was indifferent to this, and he continued to ask, as if he didn't care whether Emperor Hengchang cared about him or not.

"Mother and concubine also heard about what happened later, after all, it was a matter of the court."

Concubine Lian paused, took a look at Bailiyi and continued: "On the first day after the new year, I heard that your father issued two imperial decrees, one for Zheng Yuanhao and one for Zhao Shimeng's two generals. It was assigned to the household department and the official department! At that time, the mother and concubine were surprised when they heard it, let alone the previous court. I heard that the early court was blown up at that time, and the morning court that day lasted until lunch. After that, your father I didn't come to Hexinyuan either, the news of your father's assassination came out in the evening, and I haven't seen anyone until today, so no one knows exactly where the injury was..."

Concubine Lian talked about what happened that day, and at the end she felt a little distressed. After all, the husband and wife were kind for a hundred days, and she couldn't be indifferent to Emperor Hengchang's injury.

"Father didn't summon the prince and King Heng?"

Concubine Zhao Lian said so. This happened several days ago. If Emperor Hengchang stays behind closed doors, how will the government deal with it?It can't just keep piling up.

"As far as I know, the concubine mother followed the queen and concubine Zheng to the palace every day to visit your father, but they were blocked by the armored guards at the door. Even today is the first time Zhou Kuohai came out... ..."

As the noble concubine of Emperor Hengchang, even if it was to save face, she still had to go to the office every day, even though she knew that Emperor Hengchang would not let them in.

"What does the concubine think about this?"

Bailiyi was silent for a while after listening, but asked Concubine Lian Guifei's opinion.

"What's the opinion of the mother and concubine, but I'm just thinking about where she came from seeking revenge..."

Concubine Lian was a little surprised when Bailiyi asked her opinion, but she was instantly relieved. Bailiyi had often asked for her opinion in this way before.

The palace is heavily guarded, and there are many guards and guards around Emperor Hengchang. How can ordinary seeking revenge hurt him?

However, Bai Liyi did not say this in her heart. The assassination of the king of a country is such a big event. Emperor Hengchang allowed the outside to be chaotic, but he kept the door shut. This matter is by no means superficial. It's as simple as it sounds, and besides, looking at the prince and Heng Wang, they seem to be a little anxious at first...

"So mother and concubine, let's rest, and the son has something to do, so I will leave first!"

Although there was some estrangement between mother and child, it was a trivial matter. Concubine Lian was still the one who gave him life and raised him carefully. He didn't want her to worry about matters between men.

Besides, what I continue to figure out now is what happened in the court that day.

After Bailiyi left, Concubine Lian called Yingge to her side: "Take some time to ask Shang Ping who is next to the prince, and ask about that girl in Murong Mansion..."

There was nothing to be asked from Bailiyi's mouth, Shang Ping had been following him all this time, and he probably knew about it.

According to Emperor Hengchang's plan, this girl from the Murong Mansion is also a key link in Yi'er's success, and there must be no mistakes.

"Yes, madam!"

After Bailiyi came out of Hexin Garden, she went out of the palace directly, and then rode to a teahouse in a remote location. After sitting down for a while, Shang Ping came in, followed by a middle-aged man. He was a tall man with a straight face and eyes. He is full of energy, and his body is still straight even though he is middle-aged.

"I have seen the lord!"

When the middle-aged man saw Bai Liyi who was sitting, he was going to pay respects, but Bai Liyi stopped him.

"Master Zhou, long time no see, please sit down!"

It turned out that this middle-aged man was none other than the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zhou Yuanshan. I am afraid that no one would have thought that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was actually Bai Liyi's person.

"At the palace banquet, I heard that the prince went on a long trip, but I didn't expect to come back so soon."

Zhou Yuanshan was respectful yet close and authentic.

"Well, I just came back, Master Zhou, I want to know what happened on the day the dynasty was opened?"

Baili Yi was not too polite, and got straight to the point.

"Yes, my lord, what happened that day is indeed a bit complicated, please let me explain in detail!"

Zhou Yuanshan also seemed to know the purpose of Bailiyi looking for him, so he stopped talking about other things and started talking about what happened that day...

On the first day of the opening of the dynasty, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year had not dissipated, and the civil and military officials were not in the mood to deal with matters. While waiting for Emperor Hengchang, they gathered together in twos and threes to chat.

Feeling the different atmosphere was seeing that Zheng Yuanhao and Zhao Shimeng also came to Zaochao, and everyone stopped chatting.

Zheng Yuanhao and Zhao Shimeng are generals guarding the frontier. Because they are related to the matter of transfer upon expiration, they are in a state of rest after arriving in Licheng, and they are not used to go to court before the official transfer edict is issued.

I saw the two of them at the dawn of the morning. Could it be that His Majesty intends to announce the arrangement today?
Zheng Yuanhao belongs to King Heng, and Zhao Shimeng belongs to the crown prince. This is something everyone knows. Before, one was in the northern border and the other was in the southern border. They were evenly matched. I don’t know how His Majesty will balance this time. There are many people in the audience guessing this The positions of the two people will be exchanged, no matter from which point of view this is the best solution.

But no one can guess His Majesty's mind, as for them, they just need to wait.
