Chapter 221 Gao Yunhuai was arrested
After looking at the size of the stone, Xiao Zhouzi suddenly felt a little worried. Would Gao Yunhuai be crushed to death when it was smashed down with a bang?
The Empress had instructed that Gao Yunhuai must fall into the hands of the guards alive, otherwise he would die without any evidence.
Xiao Zhouzi turned his head and looked again, then changed to a slightly smaller stone.
Martial artists have very sharp senses. Gao Yunhuai had previously focused on the guards behind him, so he was unaware of the danger. At this moment, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
But before Gao Yunhuai could look up, Xiao Zhouzi smashed the stone in his hand hard on his head!
Gao Yunhuai could never have imagined that after being cautious for most of his life, he would end up in a ditch with a setback. His eyes turned black and he passed out.
He didn't even see who attacked him...
Xiao Zhouzi immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "We found the assassin, he's here!!! Someone come quickly!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he retreated quickly.
While everyone's attention was on Gao Yunhuai, little Zhouzi left Yonghe Palace from the dark, hiding his achievements and fame!
……
When Shen Zhinian and the emperor entered Yonghe Palace, the matter was basically settled.
Mengpin was rescued by the eunuchs. She was still alive, but no one knew what happened to the heir in her belly. Most of the doctors in the Imperial Hospital rushed over after hearing the news and were treating her.
Gao Yunhuai was caught by the guards. There was a bloody hole on his head and he was still unconscious.
He was the eunuch in charge of Kunning Palace. He inexplicably appeared in Yonghe Palace. Concubine Meng also got into trouble at this time. It is hard not to think too much.
The emperor's eyes were as gloomy as water, and he said coldly: "You must save him for me!"
The imperial physician quickly replied "yes".
Nangong Xuanyu was worried about Concubine Meng's child, and strode into the inner room.
Shen Zhinian followed behind, and when he passed by Gao Yunhuai, he lowered his head and glanced at him.
Xiao Zhouzi's whereabouts were never exposed from beginning to end. The assassin who appeared in Yonghe Palace today could only be Gao Yunhuai.
As for how he was inexplicably hit and knocked unconscious... Shen Zhinian was not worried at all, as this would arouse suspicion.
Because those who can enter the palace as guards are all children of noble families, but who doesn't want to make achievements and have a better future?
Xiao Zhouzi presented such a great achievement to them for free, and the brave guards would naturally admit that it was he who captured Gao Yunhuai.
Even if Gao Yunhuai explained after waking up that he was not the one who led the guards here, it would be useless. Who would believe the words of an assassin?
Inner room.
Seeing that Concubine Meng was still alive, Xia Chan was very disappointed, but she didn't dare to show it.
She pretended to be worried, and together with Chunying, she changed Mengpin's clothes and wrung out her hair.
The imperial doctors all gathered around the bed, treating Concubine Meng.
Nangong Xuanyu asked in a deep voice: "How is the royal heir?!"
A royal doctor was afraid that the emperor would have to bury them with him if he disagreed, so he said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Meng is in good health. She is almost four months pregnant and the pregnancy is stable."
"But even though it is the end of the first lunar month, the temperature is still chilly, and the water in the pond is icy cold. Even if Concubine Meng is made of iron, she can't bear it! She has already seen blood, and there is a high possibility of miscarriage..."
"You humble officials, you humble officials can only do your best to protect the heir to the throne..."
Nangong Xuanyu knew that this was because of Concubine Meng's own carelessness, and had nothing to do with the imperial doctors, so he could only say with a sullen face: "I order you to protect the heir at all costs!"
"……Yes."
The emperor's eyes swept over Chunying and Xiachan with a deep murderous intent: "You are Mengpin's personal maids. Why did she fall into the pond for no reason?!"
Xia Chan knew that someone had to bear the emperor's anger at this time. Otherwise, if the emperor got angry, all the people who served Concubine Meng today would have no choice but to die!
Before Chunying could speak, she said quickly, "Your Majesty, it was Chunying who said that the lotus pond in Yonghe Palace was dug by the late emperor specifically for the concubine. If Your Majesty goes there to relax, not only can you relieve your mood, but you can also get some of the concubine's good fortune and become the apple of Your Majesty's eye."
"I have advised Your Majesty that it is still cold in spring and it is not appropriate for Her Majesty to go out while pregnant with the heir, but Chunying kept urging her to do so!"
"It is all my fault. I failed to persuade the queen in time. I deserve death. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Anyway, she and Chunying were the only ones serving in the room at that time. Who could prove that she was lying?
Chunying suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiachan in disbelief: "It was you who clearly told the queen that since she was pregnant with the heir, it would be better for her to go out and relax instead of staying in the room all the time, as this would be detrimental to the heir's development. Why are you putting the blame on me?!"
"I see, you are in cahoots with that assassin, right?!"
Xia Chan knew that the more she argued at this time, the more disgusted His Majesty would be.
So she did not refute Chunying's words, but said with tears in her eyes: "If something happens to the queen, all of us who serve her will be punished by death! Chunying, the queen hasn't woken up yet, so don't make a noise, or you will disturb the doctors who are treating her."
"Just...just consider it all my fault. If I could persuade the queen, this wouldn't have happened..."
Knowing that His Majesty was angry, Chunying became even more panicked and couldn't wait to clear herself of the responsibility.
She pointed at Xia Chan and said angrily, "You bitch, you are still here confusing right and wrong at this time!"
"Tell me, who ordered you to do that?"
Nangong Xuanyu said impatiently: "Enough!"
After all, the only thing he cared about was the heir to the throne. He didn't care what happened to Concubine Meng, nor did he care about the intrigues between the two palace maids.
Just as Xia Chan guessed, the emperor just needed someone to bear his anger at the moment.
Compared to the summer cicada who takes the responsibility on his own initiative, the spring oriole who keeps making excuses is of course more annoying!
"Come here, drag out this slave who instigated Concubine Meng to go to the pond and beat her to death with sticks!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, guards stepped forward, clamped Chunying on the left and right, blocked her mouth skillfully, and dragged her outside.
The spring oriole struggled and whimpered, and there was confusion in its eyes when it looked at the summer cicada, but more of it was hatred!
They entered the palace at the same time, learned palace rules from the nanny together, were accepted by Concubine Liang together, and were assigned to Yonghe Palace together. Although they were not sisters, they were better than sisters.
Chunying really couldn't understand why Xiachan wanted to kill her?!
Xia Chan didn't dare to look Chun Ying in the eye. He knelt on the ground, his body shaking uncontrollably, with a flash of guilt in his eyes.
Chunying, don't blame her.
After all, if Chunying didn't die today, the only one who would die would be me...
If you want to blame someone, blame them for serving different masters.
Shen Zhinian took this farce in, and when he looked at Xia Chan, his eyes became playful.
