Chapter 151 Conspiracy emerges
The eldest princess looked around and said in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, I actually have something important to report to you."
Queen Li frowned slightly, but dismissed her attendants and said, "Yonghe can speak now."
Bai Chuxiao erased her disguise and said in a deep voice, "Queen, it's me"
Queen Li was horrified, "Why are you here? Where is the prince?"
Bai Chuxiao made a silent gesture, "Your Majesty, please do not make public what I am going to say next."
Queen Li suddenly became uneasy. Bai Chuxiao's sudden appearance, the Crown Prince's absence, and Emperor Wenxuan's disappearance made her feel like something big was about to happen.
"The prince was captured by Chu Wenzheng," Bai Chuxiao said slowly after seeing her gradually calm down.
Queen Li looked panicked and whispered, "What is Chu Wenzheng going to do?"
Bai Chuxiao said in a deep voice, "The Queen is lending you a maid. I'm afraid something has happened to His Majesty. I want to stay in the palace and find a way to see His Majesty."
The queen knew nothing, and there was no point in telling her so much. However, compared to Chu Wenzheng and Chu Tianling, she had no choice but to stand with the queen and the prince for the time being.
Queen Li did not doubt him, "Okay", now that things have changed, she can only choose to believe Bai Chuxiao
The eldest princess said worriedly, "Xiao Xiao..."
Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly, "Princess, you should leave the palace first to avoid arousing suspicion."
The eldest princess had no choice but to nod. If she didn't leave the palace again, it would be suspicious.
Bai Chuxiao told Queen Li to be careful of Concubine Wei, and then she slipped away to Fusang Pavilion. Although the harem seemed safe, she still had to inform her mother first.
"mother concubine"
When Lady Jing saw her, she was not too surprised, she just smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, why did you come back so suddenly?"
Seeing her smile, Bai Chuxiao felt relieved and asked slowly, "Mother, do you feel anything unusual in the palace these days?"
Noble Lady Jing thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, that is a little bit wrong."
Bai Chuxiao frowned. Although Concubine Jing was a low-key person, she was very careful and attentive. She had a sharper sense of smell than Queen Li.
Concubine Jing asked worriedly, "But what happened?"
Bai Chuxiao nodded, "Prince An is going to rebel. Logically, General Cheng is in charge of the imperial guards, so the palace should not be under control. But now, for some reason, His Majesty seems to have no news. I plan to go to His Majesty to investigate later."
Concubine Jing suddenly took her hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about His Majesty. Go to the northwest immediately to find the seventh son and your grandfather. You are a capable child. Since you can enter the palace, your mother believes that you will definitely find a way to leave the capital."
Bai Chuxiao frowned slightly, "Mother, how can I keep you in the palace? If Your Majesty is fine, then it's fine. If the situation is different, then I will take you away immediately."
She and Emperor Wenxuan did not have any deep feelings. She protected Emperor Wenxuan only because, under the current circumstances, it was more beneficial for them if the emperor was alive. Concubine Jing had protected Chu Tianze since he was a child, so the mother-son relationship between them was naturally different. Chu Tianze was not in the capital now, so she had to at least protect the few relatives he had.
Concubine Jing shook her head and said, "You should leave immediately. Don't worry about mother. We concubines are insignificant and nothing will happen to us."
If the situation was really that serious, she would have been under surveillance by now. It would be difficult for Xiaoxiao to take her away. I'm afraid that by then no one would be able to leave.
Bai Chuxiao looked at the sky outside which had already darkened, and said in a deep voice, "Mother, get ready. I will go to see His Majesty and come back soon."
After saying that, he didn't waste any more words and quickly disappeared into the night, all the way to the front hall. There was no sign of the emperor in the imperial study. Bai Chuxiao frowned slightly. Emperor Wenxuan was a very diligent emperor. He usually reviewed memorials in the imperial study at this time. Could he be taking a rest?
Thinking of this, Bai Chuxiao quickly went to the place where Emperor Wenxuan usually rested.
The side hall of Zichen Palace was extremely quiet.
Zhang Yuandao was sweating profusely while giving acupuncture to Cheng Song. After a while, Cheng Song coughed up blood. Zhang Yuandao breathed a sigh of relief and slowly took out the silver needle.
Emperor Wenxuan asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Zhang Yuandao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the poison has been cleared, and General Cheng is probably fine now."
Emperor Wenxuan said calmly, "Why haven't you woken up yet?"
Zhang Yuandao took Cheng Song's pulse and said, "The Wuxin poison is very potent, but General Cheng has a good foundation. I think he will wake up in another hour."
Emperor Wenxuan said in a deep voice, "Go back and continue to look for the prescription. Do you understand?"
Zhang Yuandao lowered his head and said, "Yes"
Jinzhong also understood and bowed, "Zhang Yuanpan has worked hard in diagnosing your majesty's pulse. I will take you back."
In the side hall, Emperor Wenxuan stared at Cheng Song lying on the bed in a trance. He hoped he would wake up as soon as possible.
Suddenly, there were two noises outside the palace. Emperor Wenxuan's eyes turned cold and he asked, "Who?"
Bai Chuxiao quietly fell into the palace, "Father, it's me"
Emperor Wenxuan frowned slightly, "Something happened in Yunzhou"
He sent someone to call her and the prince back, but it shouldn't be that fast. This girl's appearance here might mean things are worse than he thought.
Bai Chuxiao glanced at Cheng Song lying on the bed and said calmly, "Didn't your Majesty receive the news sent back by your son?"
Emperor Wenxuan glanced at the man lying outside, his eyes slightly cold. After Cheng Song was poisoned, the people who guarded him every day were replaced by secret guards. Now it seems that there is a traitor among his most trusted royal secret guards, who intercepted the news.
"Is the prince all right?"
Just as Bai Chuxiao was about to report the situation, footsteps were heard outside.
Emperor Wenxuan's heart sank, "You go to the back first, and remember to keep Ah Zi's portrait for me."
Bai Chuxiao's eyes tightened, and she hid behind the bed.
"My dear brother, how are you?" Chu Wenzheng strode in.
Emperor Wenxuan didn't understand, and said sternly, "Chu Wenzheng, I think I have been kind to you over the years."
Chu Wenzheng laughed a few times, "Not mean? What a joke, I am the only legitimate descendant of the previous dynasty, this kingdom should be mine, why should I look at your face?"
Emperor Wenxuan spoke slowly, "I conquered this country, and I have a clear conscience sitting on this throne. When the world was in chaos, you never contributed a bit, and now you want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labor."
Chu Wen Zheng smiled, "A clear conscience? Chu Wenxuan, you can say this calmly, I really admire you."
Emperor Wenxuan stared at him coldly. Chu Wenzheng suddenly said in a loud voice, "Nephew-in-law, have you heard enough? This king knows you are here."
Bai Chuxiao no longer hid it and said with a smile, "The emperor's uncle is really capable."
Chu Wenzheng raised his eyebrows, "My nephew's wife can actually leave Yunzhou, which makes the emperor uncle look at her with new eyes."
Bai Chuxiao moved slightly and quickly attacked Chu Wenzheng, holding the shadow on his neck, and smiled faintly, "Since the emperor's uncle knows, how can you underestimate the enemy and not even bring a master with you?"
Chu Wenzheng remained calm, staring at the two with interest.
