Chapter 576 Fight
Emperor Shenwu was extremely anxious and turned around and left the secret room.
After the Crown Prince returned to Dongde Palace, he summoned the Crown Princess and asked her the first thing: "Didn't I ask you to write to me at any time? Why didn't you mention such an important matter as the new Concubine Kang in the palace in your letter to me?"
The Crown Princess looked up bewilderedly and said, "Your Highness, is this important? I think it's... okay! Don't worry, I think that when the Queen Mother returns from the Hot Springs Royal Manor, Concubine Kang will be nothing!"
Didn’t that talented Deng not even jump?
The Crown Prince looked at the Crown Princess seriously again and found that she was speaking the truth. The Crown Prince was speechless. He knew that women of aristocratic birth would receive strict education, and it was normal for them to have concubines. But the Crown Prince didn't know how to mention to the Crown Princess that his father and mother were different. They had been inseparable for so many years and their love was deep, and all this was never false.
His father would not leave his mother alone outside the palace for so many days without paying any attention to her, and he would not give her any more titles of talent or beauty to hurt her heart! Once such a situation occurred, it would be a very serious problem.
However, no one in the palace realized this problem. They all thought it was natural. After all, the emperor's feelings were cold and indifferent. Even his grandmother and the crown princess thought so.
Xiaoqi and Yueyue were comforted by me, and were wholeheartedly waiting for their mother's return!
For the first time in his life, the prince understood what it meant to be talking at cross purposes when talking to his princess.
The Crown Princess, however, was full of confidence in her mother-in-law. "Your Highness, you really don't have to worry. The other day, several concubines from the Chuxiu Palace were arguing and quarreling, and Father caught them. Only this Concubine Kang stood there quietly. Father probably thought Concubine Kang was steady, so he summoned her to the Qianzheng Palace. It is said that Concubine Kang was only serving her medicine, and Father was very satisfied. If Queen Mother had returned, Concubine Kang would definitely not have any problems!"
The corner of the Crown Prince's mouth twitched slightly. It was no wonder that the Crown Princess had such confidence in the Queen Mother. After all, what the Crown Princess had seen in the past was that as long as the Queen Mother stood there, the Emperor would no longer have anyone else in his eyes.
But today, the situation is completely different.
The prince rubbed his brows and said, "Go back to the palace and rest first! I'll take care of some things!"
The Crown Princess took her leave. Yun En stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Mo Xuan didn't find any useful information that day, and he's gone again tonight!"
At this time, the heavy rain stopped, the sky cleared up, and the stars twinkled in the night sky.
As soon as Mo Xuan jumped onto the high wall of Fengqi Palace, he saw a man standing on the other side of the wall. It was a eunuch. Mo Xuan followed the prince in and out of the palace, so he naturally knew this eunuch - Li Zhong, the deputy chief eunuch of the palace!
Few people knew that Li Zhong possessed martial arts skills and was considered a master. The things he did secretly for the Shenwu Emperor were definitely no less than what Li Xiang did in public.
Li Zhong politely extended a hand: "Are you going to leave? Or are you going to force your way in?"
Mo Xuan, dressed in black, rushed towards Fengqi Palace without a word! Li Zhong appeared in a flash, and the two of them immediately engaged in combat!
The two men's martial arts skills were outstanding. They struck from the roof of one palace to the roof of another, from the sky to the ground, and from the ground to the big tree!
The two of them tacitly agreed not to leave Fengqi Palace to fight, and they fought for more than an hour. In the end, Mo Xuan was very surprised. He didn't expect that this eunuch could fight with him on equal terms for such a long time!
Li Zhong also became more and more impressed as the fight went on. Both of them understood that today's matter would not have any result.
The two figures crossed each other in mid-air, exchanging a final blow. Li Zhong smiled and said, "You're quite good! We are very happy that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a master like you to assist him!"
Mo Xuan, whose emotions were always as calm as a mountain, couldn't help but twitch his lips. It seemed that everyone knew each other's identities.
Li Zhong added, "Tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that His Majesty has told him not to send any more people into Fengqi Palace. It's a waste of manpower!"
That means the Empress isn't in Fengqi Palace! Mo Xuan looked at Li Zhong accusingly. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why did you have to fight for so long?"
Li Zhong smiled, obviously understanding Mo Xuan's expression. "We're looking for someone to stretch our legs! If you're free, come find me and we can practice!"
Mo Xuan couldn't help but give Li Zhong a blank look. "I'm not idle!" Then Mo Xuan turned and flew away, disappearing in the blink of an eye! Now that he had received the news from the Queen, he naturally wouldn't stay any longer.
Li Zhong fell to the ground with a look of regret. Another young eunuch hurried forward and said, "Godfather, are you okay?"
The chief steward Li Xiang likes to take in apprentices, while the deputy steward Li Zhong likes to take in godsons.
Li Zhong patted his clothes and said, "What could possibly happen to our family? By the way, how's the thing I asked you to do going?"
The previous incident had caused Li Zhong to lose the emperor's trust. For so many years, he and Li Xiang had been working together, supporting and competing against each other. Li Zhong would never allow Li Xiang to gain the emperor's favor alone. Therefore, he had recently been ordering his men to search for something. Once they found it, Li Zhong would immediately present it to the emperor. It could solve a problem that the emperor was currently worried about!
The young eunuch replied with a smile, "It'll only take two days. Don't worry, godfather. We'll have it soon!"
In Dongde Hall, the Crown Prince listened to Mo Xuan's report with an expressionless face. He was already certain that his mother was hidden in Qianzheng Hall by his father. His father's sudden appearance that day, the faint fragrance that only his mother could smell, and today's events all confirmed the Crown Prince's suspicions!
The prince asked Mo Xuan to rest, but he hurried to Qianzheng Hall.
This time, the Emperor Shenwu had made preparations. The bedroom in the main hall of Qianzheng Palace was tightly guarded by the Emperor. The Crown Prince was stopped outside. He couldn't help but say speechlessly, "Is my father in there? Is he asleep? Go and report it. Tell him how long I will wait!"
The one who answered was Li Xiang's apprentice, Xiao Fuzi. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Highness, please wait a moment! Please wait a moment! Please sit down and have a cup of tea first!"
The prince waited patiently outside the bedroom, wondering if his father was going to keep a mistress in a golden house? Was he going to turn his queen into his secret lover?
Inside the secret room, Emperor Shenwu hurried in. "What happened? Why did he faint for no reason?"
Madam Mute waved her hands and shook her head, gesturing at Li Xiang for a long time.
Li Xiang understood and hurried forward to whisper back, "Your Majesty, she said that the Empress deliberately skipped meals and poured the Nine-Ginger Flower Dew into a flowerpot in the corner. As a result, the flowerpot grew lush and the mute nanny noticed something!"
Emperor Shenwu's expression suddenly turned gloomy.
Lan Qingwu on the bed opened her eyes slightly. She hadn't seen Emperor Shenwu for two days. After she had that guess, she kept asking Nanny Mute if she could invite His Majesty over, but Nanny Mute always shook her head and refused. Nanny Mute gestured to tell her that His Majesty could only come here on his own initiative, as they couldn't contact His Majesty!
Lan Qingwu's fear was even greater. She had no choice but to find another way and meet the Emperor Shenwu by hurting herself.
