Chapter 492 Awakening
Chu Qinghuang woke up.
First, her fingers moved, then her eyelashes trembled, and finally she slowly opened her eyes. The lights in the hall were soft, but it was so quiet that no sound could be heard.
Chu Qinghuang felt a little uncomfortable, so she gently closed her eyes, and then opened them again.
The hall was empty. The person who had always been by her side for the past few days was nowhere to be seen, and no palace servants were seen either.
Chu Qinghuang frowned and turned her head to look in the direction of the outer hall. The heavy curtains blocked her sight, and she could not know what was happening outside for the time being.
These days, there has always been a voice whispering affectionately in her ears, but this voice was gone at this time.
Sitting up from the bed, Chu Qinghuang tried to move her hands and feet, and found that except for being a little hungry, there was nothing unusual. She got out of bed and put on her shoes. The moment her feet stood on the ground, she felt a real and solid power... I always felt light and floating before, like a rootless duckweed.
Picking up the clothes hanging on the hanger and putting them on, Chu Qinghuang lifted the curtain and walked out. The palace door was closed, and the whole palace was silent.
This was the first time that Her Majesty had opened the palace door herself since she ascended the throne.
As a slight dull sound rang out, the guards on duty outside turned their heads and knelt on the ground in the next moment: "Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!" Yuanbao ran up, his face full of surprise and excitement, "Are you awake? I have been worried to death these two days. Lord Fu Cang said that you occasionally caught a cold and your dragon body was not feeling well. I prayed for your majesty day and night..."
"Where did Fu Cang go?"
Yuanbao's voice was stuck.
"Your Majesty." A voice in the shadows reported respectfully, "The commander-in-chief left the palace and went to Nanji Bank."
Yuanbao turned his head following the voice, but did not see anyone.
Who is talking?
"Your Majesty is awake?" Chu Xuanyi came quickly, looked Chu Qinghuang up and down, and then knelt on one knee, "I pay my respects to your Majesty."
Chu Qinghuang glanced at him, not ignoring the dark shadow under his eyes: "Have you been staying in the palace these two days?"
Chu Xuanyi lowered his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty is not feeling well, I should pay more attention to you."
He did not leave the palace. He was on duty for twelve hours every day. If he was very sleepy, he would find a place to take a nap, but the premise was that Fu Cang was there.
Tonight Fu Cang left the palace, Chu Xuanyi must be alert to guard Changming Palace.
Chu Qinghuang hummed: "I will go out of the palace to see too."
"Your Majesty, you are still weak." Yuanbao worried, "Why don't you send someone to summon Lord Fu Cang back?"
"Who said I am weak?" Chu Qinghuang turned to look at him, "Isn't it all right now?"
"But..." Yuanbao wanted to say something else.
"Xuan Yi, call some people." Chu Qinghuang turned and entered the palace. "Yuan Bao, come in and help me wash up."
Yuan Bao followed: "Yes."
After a cup of tea, Chu Qinghuang, who had finished washing and dressing, walked out of the palace. Yuan Bao followed closely on the left, and Chu Xuan Yi followed on the right. There were more than a hundred guards behind him to protect him.
Chu Qinghuang said: "Has anything happened in the palace these two days?"
Chu Xuan Yi followed Chu Qinghuang and replied as he walked: "The Prince of Xian invited me to have a meal at the Prince's Mansion."
Oh?
Chu Qinghuang tilted his head to look at him: "Then what?"
Chu Xuan Yi lowered his eyebrows: "I have a duty to do, so I didn't dare to stay in his house for too long, and I returned to the palace soon."
"Yeah."
Chu Xuan Yi continued: "The adults in the court came to ask to see Your Majesty, and Wen Zhan and Yun Heng brought young ministers to ask to see Your Majesty."
Chu Qinghuang didn't say anything, thinking that this was a predictable situation.
Some people came to see her to confirm what she was playing, and some people came to confirm whether she was safe.
"Lord Fu Cang ordered people to kill Duanmu Yu."
Killed Duanmu Yu?
Chu Qinghuang frowned: "Why?"
"Someone tried to let Duanmu Yu go."
Chu Qinghuang's eyebrows were slightly pale, and then he sneered indistinctly, "Kill him if you want. Anyway, he has become a king of a fallen country, and there is no point in keeping him."
"There is nothing special about the rest." Chu Xuanyi thought for a while, "Lord Fu Cang is not sure when His Majesty will wake up, so he ordered me to add more people to protect outside Changming Palace, creating the illusion that I am monopolizing power and plotting something bad, which can divert the attention of the ministers."
Chu Qinghuang's eyebrows softened: "This guy is not stupid, but he always underestimates himself and thinks he is inferior to others."
Chu Xuanyi did not speak.
"But I'm sorry to have wronged you." Chu Qinghuang said, "Fortunately, I woke up early, otherwise if the ministers really thought that Prince Rong and you were up to something, the impression that you were abusing your power would deepen day by day, which would not be good for you."
