Spring Forest Evening

Chapter 365

Shen Fu took a deep look at her, and then said:

"The death knell was rang in the palace to announce to the world: the emperor passed away, and the three princes passed away because of saving him. They chose an auspicious day and a good day to be buried and buried; The Palace moved to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, where she was honored as the Empress Dowager, who listened to the government behind the curtain, and together with the cabinet, supervised the administration of the country until the new emperor came of age."

After finishing speaking, he knew that the words were too much, so he stopped and poured a cup of tea and drank it.

The room was quiet, Zhou Heng and Chenfeng Muyun were busy digesting the content of the edict.

Very soon, Chenfeng first asked with some uncertainty: "Then...the fourth prince has become a prince, will he, he want to return to the palace immediately?"

Miss Biao has asked the fourth prince to call her "Aunt". She thought she would take him for a while, but the palace will definitely start the funeral. As a prince, he should go back and be a dutiful son, right?

Only now did I realize that with so many incidents happening in the palace last night, the fourth prince actually became the only remaining prince!

Chen Feng was thinking of something to say, but just after he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw the corner of Mu Yun's mouth move. The years of getting along with him made him realize that he should have said something wrong, so he quickly made up for it:

"Uh, my lord, what this subordinate means is that the fourth prince is now a prince..."

But when the words came out, it felt wrong:

Ordinarily, the fourth prince became the crown prince, so wouldn't his mother and concubine be regarded as the future empress dowager?That's not right, why didn't a single word mention her in the imperial edict?It is impossible for the prince to miss such an important point, after all, the fourth prince has to trouble Miss Biao to take care of him now.

Could it be... that empress concubine left the child behind?

Yes, it is very possible!

After all, she is the queen mother who is about to listen to the government behind the curtain. Seeing that she has reached the pinnacle of power in one step, who can tolerate someone being equal to herself, so she decisively strikes first!

Otherwise, how could the prince be willing to let Miss Biao take care of the child?

How could the fourth prince's mother and concubine be willing to let the prince sneak such a young son out of the palace in the middle of the night?

That unlucky empress probably wanted to blackmail the empress with the fourth prince, but she didn't expect that the empress would be cruel and merciless, so she would just use this to kill her, and she would sit firmly in the Palace of Compassion and Peace from then on!

Chen Feng was stunned by his deduction, the women in the harem are really ruthless!

Also, Prince Jing's mansion has caused a catastrophe!

Sneaking the crown prince out of the palace, but the crown prince's biological mother died again, and now I can't tell clearly with all my mouth!

Chen Feng, who was immersed in his own speculation, suddenly collapsed, and he tried to hold back so that he didn't say anything to complain about Shen Fu. Based on his intuition and years of experience following Shen Fu, he always felt that his prince was not so eager to get him. From the people of the dragon.

Ever since I was a child, I was taught by my master and his elders that Prince Jing's mansion, as a unique mansion with a different surname, holds military power and has no chance of promotion. As long as you follow the emperor faithfully, that's enough. Fighting in the court and even standing in the queue.

Chen Feng felt that both the late old prince and the current prince were people who could distinguish right from wrong, and what the master meant was actually what the palace meant, so at this moment, he shouldn't rush to ask for credit from the prince's birth mother in advance. It's not going to be against the empress, the crown prince's aunt...

Could it be that there is something hidden here?

Thinking of this, Chenfeng flinched, and said with some lack of confidence:

"Forgive me, my lord. For such an important matter, my subordinates have very little knowledge. If there is anything to do, you can just order it!"

As a member of Prince Jing's mansion, it's enough to follow the prince anyway, and the prince is not a fool who is greedy for profit!

After hearing this, Shen Fu didn't comment, then looked up at Mu Yun who had been silent all this time and asked:

"What about you? You must have a rough idea of ​​what happened last night, right? Do you have any questions?"

At the same time, he turned his head and explained to Zhou Heng:

"The situation he found is similar to what we guessed before."

That is to say, are the queen mother and daughter really hiding in the second prince's mansion?Zhou Heng rolled his eyes secretly in his heart, and couldn't help curling his lips.

After listening to Shen Fu's words, Mu Yun pondered and asked:

"My lord, my subordinates are indeed more clear about it, but there are still some doubts in a few places."

"Tell me." Shen Fu nodded.

Mu Yun first asked the first question: "My lord, the queen mother... I mean, the queen mother and the three princesses in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, how is the palace...?"

Zhou Heng also wanted to know this question, and when he heard this, he turned to look at Shen Fu and waited for his answer.

Shen Fu glanced at her, then at the fourth prince who was already sleeping in her arms, and said:

"Last night, the Phoenix Feather Palace where the Empress Dowager and the Three Princesses lived accidentally caught fire. Although the Empress Dowager led her people and the imperial guards did their best to put out the fire, but the weather was dry and the fire was out of control. In addition to the large scale of the Phoenix Feather Palace, it was largely extinguished this morning. However, the ruins still need to be further cleared, so it is not convenient to disclose the specific situation for the time being.”

Hey, listening to what you say is like listening to what you say, it seems that it is the same in ancient and modern China and abroad!Zhou Heng felt happy when he heard it, but after thinking about it for a while, he had to admit that this should be the best way for that Empress Jiang, and it can buy him as much time as possible, anyway, Fengyu Palace is in the harem , except for the harem guards who followed her to put out the fire, not many people must have seen the specific situation.

I just don't know if the secret passage in Fengyu Palace has been discovered after the fire is extinguished?If it had already been discovered, Empress Jiang might suspect that Shen Fu was in collusion with the Queen Mother and her daughter.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng wanted to ask Shen Fu whether the secret path of Fengyu Palace had been discovered, what he told Empress Jiang after returning from the secret path, and whether he had truthfully told him that he had gone to Shanglin Garden, but he was embarrassed to call him. Duan Muyun's train of thought, plus he didn't know if Fengyu Palace's secret way could be said in public, so he bit his lip and didn't open his mouth.

Mu Yun then asked a second question:

"Then, my lord, since that's the case, should we urgently send someone to contact my master?"

As soon as he asked this question, Zhou Heng saw that Shen Fu gave a rare smile and nodded in agreement:

"Yes, you can send someone to arrange it later, but if nothing unexpected happens, the letter from your master should be delivered as soon as the city gate is opened!"

Zhou Heng didn't speak, and secretly pondered the conversation between the two in his heart, thinking that there should be a change in Zhongnan Road in advance, and Uncle He has been there all the time, so he naturally found out.

Although Chen Feng has a quick temper, his brain turns quickly. After hearing these words, he nodded and said:

"The city gate will be closed for three days at most, otherwise the lives of ordinary people will be affected. But these three days are enough for people from Zhongnan Road to rush over, so there is no need to rush!"

Hearing this, Zhou Heng's doubts were basically resolved. Seeing that Mu Yun said he had no more doubts, and seeing Shen Fu looking at him, he pointed his mouth at the little guy in his arms, and asked in a low voice:

"Then in the next few days, we will close the gates of the city and use the name of an assassin to hunt down the mother and daughter of the Queen Mother, and him?"
