Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 727 Reading the edict (2 more)
Zhao Xi didn't give any further explanations, just asked him, "How did you come in time?"

"Ms. Dong notified me." Song Yuanbao replied: "She went to our house, asked to see me by name, and then told me that Yang Shoufu planned to assassinate you today. When I heard her say that the assassination might be at night, I thought Something was wrong, so I came here ahead of time, but luckily I came in time."

"You shouldn't come." Zhao Xi said, "If you come, you can only be trapped inside like me."

"I just want to protect you." Song Yuanbao blurted out.

When Zhao Xi looked over, he hurriedly avoided his eyes and explained: "When I was in the paddock, I promised to rescue you. Although I am a thick-skinned person, I still keep my promise. Since I can't save you, then I will save you." I will be imprisoned with you."

Inside the Palace of Political Affairs, the golden lacquer carved windows were wide open, and the snow was falling outside the windows. The civil and military officials who had been besieged for several hours were cold and hungry, but they were helplessly surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army outside, not even a fly could fly out.

A minister said angrily: "What is Yang Shoufu planning to do? Force the palace?"

Yang Shoufu, who was standing at the forefront, smiled, and looked back at the man, "Master Sun, why bother to speak so harshly, the old man has informed me earlier that the prince's crime of killing the king is unforgivable, the emperor is now sober and wants to take him The old man has nothing to do with asking for guilt.

The reason why the Imperial Forest Army was brought here was not to besiege, but because I was afraid that the ambush set up by the prince's henchmen would be harmful to you adults, so I hereby protect you. "

An old minister of the princeling party snorted coldly: "I'm afraid all of this is under your control, Mr. Yang?"

"Mr. Fang Ge is careful to say that this old man's loyalty to His Majesty is as clear as the sun and the moon, so how dare he violate it?"

"Dare you dare, Lord Yang has already done it, why should you hide it when the matter is at this level, is it possible that you dare to do it or not?"

All the veterans in the Palace of Political Affairs started arguing immediately after talking to each other.

Compared with the hustle and bustle over there, Qianqing Palace is much quieter.

Concubine Duan went to the inner hall to serve the sick as usual, slowly added some spices to the incense burner, and then sat down in front of the dragon couch.

"I heard that it's snowing heavily outside." Emperor Guangxi was still not energetic today, lacking energy in speaking.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year." Concubine Duan said softly, "The snow is heavy, which indicates that the coming year will be peaceful in all seasons and the grains will be abundant in Chu."

"Is it?"

"Your Majesty seems to have regained some energy today. How about my concubine accompany you to enjoy the snow outside?"

Eunuch Cui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's dragon body is not healthy, it is not suitable for blowing snow and wind."

"It doesn't matter." Emperor Guangxi waved his hand, "I haven't seen snow in a year, and I heard the two little eunuchs say that the snow is especially heavy today, and I want to see it with my own eyes."

"But your majesty..." Eunuch Cui still wanted to persuade him.

Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Guangxi had already sat up and lifted the brocade quilt to sleep on the bed.

Concubine Duan hurriedly took the cloak embroidered with dragon patterns and inlaid with fox fur and put it on for him, and then helped him go outside.

When she walked to the door, Concubine Duan suddenly turned her head and glanced at Eunuch Cui.

Watching Emperor Guangxi step out of the threshold of the bedroom, Eunuch Cui sent the two imperial eunuchs out as well, and then began to rummage around.

Emperor Guangxi hadn't recovered from his illness, and he started coughing after sitting in the Jingjing Pavilion next to him for a while.

The imperial eunuch said worriedly: "Your Majesty really shouldn't blow the cold wind, otherwise, why don't you go in and rest?"

"It doesn't matter." Emperor Guangxi put his hands in his sleeves, looked at the white snow outside Shangjing Pavilion, and suddenly sighed, "It's beautiful, but it's a pity that after today, I won't be able to see it again."

The imperial eunuch said: "Si Tiantai has just finished forecasting that the snow will probably last for five or six days. If your Majesty wants to see it, it will not be too late to come out to see it after two days when your body is better."

"After two days, it won't be the person of today, nor the scenery of today." Emperor Guangxi said, smiling at Concubine Duan, "What's it called? Oh, time has changed, what does Zhen'er think?"

Concubine Duan's face froze, but she quickly returned to normal, "What Your Majesty says is what it is."

Emperor Guangxi stopped talking and continued to enjoy the snow scene. Probably the incense in the censer had an effect, and he gradually fell asleep.

Seeing this, the two former imperial eunuchs informed Concubine Duan, and then gently sent Emperor Guangxi back to the dragon couch in the inner hall.

Eunuch Cui stepped forward to wait on him.

Concubine Duan followed behind, her gaze fell on the extra trick box on the dragon case.

That should be the Chuanguo Yuxi that Eunuch Cui found out.

Concubine Duan's heart beat fast when she thought that once the seal was sealed, the East Palace would change hands, and Nuo'er would become the crown prince in a legitimate way.

"The emperor wants to sleep, you all get out!" After covering Emperor Guangxi with a quilt, Eunuch Cui waved at the two imperial eunuchs, and the two quickly backed out.

There are imperial guards guarding outside the hall, concubine Duan did not dare to really use the drug, the incense burner is filled with tranquilizing incense, which can make Emperor Guangxi sleep more deeply, currently only concubine Duan and Eunuch Cui are left in the inner hall.

Concubine Duan pointed to something on the dragon case, and asked in a low voice, "Is it the jade seal?"

Eunuch Cui nodded, "The key is right next to you, you will know when you open it."

Concubine Duan stood up, and subconsciously glanced at Emperor Guangxi on the dragon couch. Seeing that he was still sleeping, she felt relieved, walked to the dragon case, picked up the key that Eunuch Cui said to open the lock box, and it was indeed Chuan Guo Imperial jade seal.

She stroked her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, took out the edict of succession from her wide sleeves, held up the jade seal with both hands, pressed it hard on the red ink pad, and then stamped it on the edict of succession.

"It's done!"

Putting away the imperial edict, Concubine Duan carefully put the jade seal back, and whispered to Eunuch Cui: "This side of Qianqing Palace, I will trouble Eunuch to take care of it. Once the matter is completed, the benefits that uncle promised will not be less."

Eunuch Cui urged: "It's not too late, it's better for your empress to go to the Yizheng Hall as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble."

Concubine Duan nodded, and quickly left the Emperor's bedroom, got into a sedan chair and went to the Yizheng Hall.

The two factions in the hall were still arguing, but when they heard that the concubine Duan was coming, the quarreling stopped abruptly, and they all looked outside.

The Minister of the Household Department frowned and said: "The harem is not allowed to engage in politics, what is your empress doing here?"

Others obviously had the same doubts, even the Second Prince's faction did not approve of Concubine Duan appearing in the Yizheng Hall.

Concubine Duan didn't go in, but stopped at the threshold, looked at the people inside, "I came today to convey the will of the Holy One."

As he spoke, he took out the imperial edict, and instead of handing it to Yang Shoufu, he asked the little eunuch beside him to hand it over to the Minister of Honglu Temple who was in charge of reading out the imperial edict.

The minister of Honglu Temple took a look, and immediately trembled in fright, "This..."

Concubine Duan smiled slightly, "Since the emperor personally issued the edict, my lord can just read it and read it. With the witness of all the lords, the edict cannot be faked."

The minister of Honglu Temple stood still, his brows furrowed deeply. Since the establishment of the dynasty, there was no reason for the emperor not to come to the court and let the concubine come to deliver the decree.

"Why, Master Yao dare not, or will he not?" Concubine Duan looked over.

Yao Siqing cupped his hands, "Go back to your mother, old minister, no!"

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Yao Siqing can't, I am willing to do it for you and read the imperial edict for the empress."

Everyone followed the prestige, and when they saw the face of the person clearly, they all widened their eyes.
