"Princess Zhenguo, don't worry, I will definitely guard you strictly." After Lu Jin finished speaking solemnly, he straightened up and said, "Now that I have obtained evidence from General Fu, I will send someone to invite Mr. Tan Laodi , before the matter is thoroughly investigated, the Imperial Palace... may need the assistance of the Eldest Princess, after all, before His Majesty passed out, he entrusted the harem to the Eldest Princess."
Fu Ruoxi, who was still kneeling in the prison, had his pupils trembling slightly. He knew... what Lu Jin meant was to put the queen under house arrest!
When Fu Ruoxi blurted out what was written in the queen's letter, Fu Ruoxi knew this would happen, but he didn't want to believe that the queen would send someone to silence her.
Bai Qingyan turned her head and took a deep look at Fu Ruoxi, then walked towards the outside of Dali Temple Prison. Quan Yu also bid farewell to Lu Jin, and followed Bai Qingyan out of Dali Temple Prison.
At this time, the sky in Dadu City was already dark, and the two high-hanging lanterns in front of the prison gate of Dali Temple were blown left and right by the wind.
No one dared to approach the Dali Temple during the day, let alone at night, with the high gray walls and the occasional screams and cries of interrogation in the deserted silence, it really made people feel creepy.
Bai Qingyan looked into the depths of the darkness. Ever since she came out of the alley in the Prince's Mansion, someone had been following her, but that person only dared to follow her from a distance, and did not dare to approach her.
"Princess Zhen Guo, why don't I send you back home?" Quan Yu said respectfully to Bai Qing.
"Eunuch Quan Yu should go back to the East Palace immediately and tell the prince that I will go back to the White Mansion right now to invite my grandmother to enter the palace to preside over the overall situation. There is a grandmother sitting in the palace. If I think my grandmother is the queen, I will not dare to act rashly."
After Bai Qing finished speaking, he turned to Quan Yu and said, "Please trouble your father-in-law to go back and tell the crown prince. General Fu said that the queen said in the letter that your majesty's order will not be long. It seems that the matter of your majesty's falling from the horse should be related to the queen! Now Fu Ruo Xi was imprisoned, the queen and the king of Xin...the most feared thing should be that His Majesty really wakes up, and maybe his elder brother Zhong Shaozhong will contact the old Ministry to rebel against the palace. His Highness should send someone to monitor him early to prevent accidents! The rest The crown prince can discuss with Mr. Tan Laodi and issue the order together, so that the public can be convinced!"
Mr. Tan Laodi was the person entrusted by His Majesty to the government before he fell into a coma. With the addition of the crown prince, this kind of weight... makes the courtiers more convinced.
Quan Yu's back was stiff, and he nodded again and again: "Princess Zhen Guo's words, Quan Yu must tell the prince verbatim!"
Seeing Quan Yu's frightened face, Bai Qingyan said again: "However, there is no need for His Royal Highness to worry too much, at least there are 20,000 soldiers brought back from the Anping camp outside the capital city, the queen and others will not fight recklessly , can only outsmart, as long as His Royal Highness is protected and prepared in advance, everything will be fearless!"
Hearing what Bai Qingyan said, Quan Yu heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly saluted: "Princess, don't worry, no matter what, Quan Yu will swear to protect His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Thank you! Let's go back earlier!" After Bai Qingyan finished speaking, seeing that the jailer had brought her horse, she walked down the high steps and jumped on the horse to leave.
Quan Yu bowed respectfully to see him off, until he could not hear the sound of horseshoes, then he raised his head, and went back to the Prince's Mansion with the guards of the Prince's Mansion, and told the Prince what Bai Qingyan said.
At this time, with Wei Zhong's secret assistance, Mr. Fang had already found out the old servant who was sold out in the Fu Mansion and the Queen's Mother's Zhong Mansion, and confirmed that the Queen and Fu Ruoxi had indeed had a marriage contract back then. The empress once went to Fu's mansion and forced Fu Ruoxi to go to Zhong's mansion to propose marriage before the emperor's edict of marriage came down.
Not only that, because Mr. Fang wanted to make a fuss about King Xin's life experience, he found out the maid who served the Queen when she just married Her Majesty...but was kicked out of the Prince's Mansion because of a mistake.
This palace servant hated the Queen deeply, and was persuaded by Elder Fang, willing to testify that King Xin was not His Majesty's son, and that the Queen framed the crown prince's birth mother because of the full period of pregnancy, and the current Concubine Yu pushed her to cover up. The period of pregnancy has come.
Coincidentally, the queen was still a concubine back then... After she became pregnant, Ji Bingfu, the judge at the imperial hospital at that time, always asked for pulse, and Ji Bingfu accused Jian Congwen in his early years...caused Jian Congwen's whole family to be punished , himself has died long ago, and his descendants are now missing.
Even if Ji Bingfu's heirs are still in the capital city, Mr. Fang is not afraid. After all, since Bai Weiting, the Lord of the Town, overturned Jian Congwen's case, Ji Bingfu has become a criminal who framed Zhongliang. How dare his heirs come out to testify for the queen? ? Even if he is driven out...the heir of a criminal minister who framed Zhongliang, is the testimony credible?
Therefore, in this round, Mr. Fang is confident that he can overthrow the two stumbling blocks of the queen and the king of Xin for the prince.
The prince planned to go to Dali Temple prison to discuss with Tan Laodi's teacher. After secretly restraining the generals of the forbidden army that Zhong Shaozhong contacted, he also wanted to temporarily hand over the forbidden army to Bai Qingyan to prevent any changes.
"It's getting old after hard work, and there is one more thing... Before we were only focused on Prince Xin's Mansion, we forgot about the Queen's mother's Zhong family. The Queen's brother Zhong Shaozhong was once the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, so we had to send someone to keep an eye on Zhong Shaozhong." ! lest he contact the old department and intend to rebel!"
The prince raised his neck and asked Quan Yu to fasten his clothes for him, with a serious expression on his face, he was convinced in his heart that it was the empress who caused the emperor to fall from the horse.
"Don't worry, Your Highness! This old man will send someone to watch over Zhong Shaozhong and Zhongfu, but... we have to make preparations early!" Fang Lao said.
After the prince sat down, leaning on the armrest of the seat, Quan Yu knelt at the prince's feet to put on the prince's boots.
The prince looked at Fang Lao and said: "There are 20,000 troops brought back from the Anping camp outside the city. The matter of leading the troops... Princess Zhen Guo is better than me, and it was Princess Zhen Guo who asked Quan Yu to come back to remind Gu. Princess Zhen Guo must be sure of the letter! I went to Dali Temple Prison to meet Old Emperor Tan in person... together with Old Emperor Tan, I ordered that the forbidden army be handed over to Princess Zhen Guo for the time being."
Hearing this, Mr. Fang pinched the hem of his clothes with his fingers, and said with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, I think... If the Imperial Army is handed over to Princess Zhen Guo, it will inevitably startle the snake! The old man knows that His Highness is worried about the safety of Concubine Yu in the palace. , this time... it is possible to place His Highness in the Forbidden Army who has not been used for many years, and use it to protect Concubine Yu."
The prince frowned, straightened his sleeves and nodded: "That makes sense."
Seeing that the crown prince accepted his suggestion, Mr. Fang stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, this princess of Zhenguo... seems to be getting better every day! Princess Zhenguo is a good leader in battle, and her mind is really outstanding. Such a person... His Royal Highness wants to use him, but he still needs to guard against it! Don't let your guard down just because Princess Zhen Guo seems to be loyal at the moment!"
