Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times - Chapter 87

Some royalists did not leave the gate of the palace, but went straight to the Qianming Hall where the emperor recuperated.

It’s just that there are more guards here than in the past. These people guarded the door tightly and did not let the ministers enter.

“Since we can’t meet the emperor, why don’t I see the noble concubine?” The leading cabinet minister actually knew that the entire palace might have been taken over by Princess Jiayi, but he still didn’t give up and wanted to ask if he could Concubine Yuan Gui could not be seen.

Sure enough, the guard still said coldly, “No.”

“Princess Jiayi has a decree. The emperor is seriously ill and needs to recuperate. The imperial concubine and empress will watch over her and never see outsiders.”

The ministers looked at the imposing guard holding the sword, shook their heads one after another, and left Qianming Palace in disgrace.

…

Since Princess Jiayi appeared in the court and participated in the court affairs as a woman, the news spread quickly as if she had wings.

On the surface, the capital is still very calm, but in private, everyone is making small movements, wanting to confirm whether the emperor is still alive…

But Jingzhong only knew that the Imperial Forest Army had turned their backs, but they didn’t know that even the soldiers of the five cities were also under the orders of Princess Jiayi.

In this way, what these people want to do, they find that they are at a loss. After figuring out the meaning of this, I guessed it.

Therefore, those ministers put away their tentative paws and dared not make any further moves, for fear that they would be discovered by the indifferent and ruthless Princess Jiayi.

At this time, Jiang Libai, who was in the princess mansion, slowly tasted it.

It turned out that at some point, her Fifth Sister’s influence had already invaded the entire capital without a sound!

The sudden rise to power now is actually a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time!

Realizing this, Jiang Libai really couldn’t believe that the elegant and leisurely fifth sister actually had such a desire for power!

Whether it is the ministers who support the third prince or the courtiers who support the fifth prince, seeing Princess Jiayi appearing in the court every day, sitting majestically at the head, and pressing firmly on top of their heads, they gradually fell into grief and despair. among.

“…Your Highness, are you really going to hand over the position you have already obtained at your fingertips?!”

In the third prince’s mansion, in a hidden corner of the study, several courtiers in casual clothes looked at the silent third prince with grief.

“Now that the emperor can no longer handle political affairs, this is a good time to seize power! Besides, His Highness also took over the supervision of the country before, why did he finally hand over the power in his hands to Princess Jiayi?”

Hearing the minister’s doubts, Jiang Heng looked indifferent, “Uncle, you must have seen that Jiayi can fake death without any effort, and then appear in the court without a sound. How much power does she have behind her? Can you guess it?”

“If Bengong’s guess is correct, the entire imperial city is now in her hands.”

“How do you think this palace will oppose her under such circumstances?”

At the end, Jiang Heng spread his hands and said with a helpless smile: “Uncle, this is just to protect yourself.”

“You don’t have the military power in your hands, and none of the courtiers who follow me have a leader. We can’t compete with Jiayi.”

Such a fact was placed in front of everyone present, and they were a little discouraged.

Especially Leng Youxiang, who is the uncle of the country, has a lifeless expression on his face.

He didn’t want the duck that had reached its beak to just fly away at such a critical juncture!

“Your Highness, everyone is dissatisfied with Princess Jiayi’s power. I think the vassal kings from all over the world have the same thoughts as us…” Leng Youxiang slowly formed a plan in his mind.

He thought for a moment, and then said: “The emperor is hopeless, why not take this opportunity to let the emperor sleep forever, and then let Princess Jiayi bear the title of murdering the father and the king. With such a reason, the princes and generals everywhere will surely die I will send troops to Beijing…”

Hearing this, Jiang Heng stared at Prime Minister Leng for a long time before laughing, “Okay, as expected of my own uncle, who can come up with such a coup for me!”

When the night was getting darker, several people in the study polished up the plan again, and after making sure everything was safe, Jiang Heng asked Leng Youxiang to go there in person.

Take care of it.

In the end, he looked at those figures who disappeared into the night, and a strange smile slowly appeared on his face.

…

“Why don’t you let us go out?!” Inside Seventh Princess’ mansion, a few servants pulled the door forcefully, competing with the guards who were trying to close the door.

“Seventh princess, golden branches and jade leaves, how could you be negligent?! How dare you block the door and not allow people in the mansion to enter or leave! Who gave you such courage?!” The servant held the door tightly, and his fingertips appeared. With a bold red, it looks like they’ve tried their best.

But the guards still didn’t say a word, they just wanted to close the door of the mansion with indifferent eyes.

Even at the end, these guards saw that the servants were so strong that the door could not be closed, and they drew out their sabers, and were about to slash at the door.

A white light flashed past, and the sharp knife edge was about to fall. The servants were horrified, and subconsciously let go of their hands.

“Patter—”

The door of Seventh Princess’ Mansion was completely closed.

In the backyard, there is a garden full of spring.

Hearing the boy’s reply, Jiang Libai clenched his sleeves tightly and stood up angrily, “Can you see clearly? That’s really a member of the Imperial Forest Army?!”

The boy was still immersed in the fright just now, and replied tremblingly: “Yes… yes, they are all from the Imperial Forest Army, and they don’t give you face at all, the princess. The gate will be closed as soon as it is closed! He also said that in the future, the princess’s mansion is allowed to enter. Don’t come out, not even a mosquito can fly out!”

Hearing the boy’s exaggerated words, Jiang Libai was angry and anxious.

He was so angry that the Imperial Forest Army probably followed Fifth Sister’s order and came to guard outside the mansion.

What’s urgent is that she doesn’t know if Fifth Sister is really going to fight against the entire royal family, let alone if the father and mother in the palace will be okay…

Seeing that the seventh princess had nothing to ask, Gu Yun waved the servant away.

“Princess, now is not the time to be in a hurry.” She walked to Jiang Libai’s side, looked at the gloomy sky outside the mansion with her, and comforted her softly: “The fifth princess can return to the capital under the noses of everyone, and act vigorously and resolutely.” The land seized the power, I am afraid it came prepared.”

“She wants power and the throne, so the emperor and concubines in the palace are very dangerous.”

Gu Yun looked at Jiang Libai’s little face that turned pale in an instant, gently stroked her shoulder, and continued: “So the last thing we need to do is to be anxious. What we have to do is to ensure the safety of the emperor and empress.”

But such a thing, I am afraid it is more difficult than climbing to the sky!

After all, not only the palace, but even the entire capital city is under Jiang Ying’s control. It is almost impossible to leave the mansion and enter the palace without showing any trace.

Unless a miracle happens…

Thinking of this, Jiang Libai’s eyes became bright in an instant.

She hurriedly turned her head to look at Gu Yun, pinched her collar, and asked expectantly: “Then what are you going to do about this matter? Can you know whether the father and mother are safe?”

Gu Yun lowered her head, gently rubbed her warm fingertips on her smooth and tender cheeks, then smiled softly: “Yes, I can know whether the emperor and empress are still safe.”

Since Yixing came back, her mental strength has recovered a lot.

So she can sneak into the palace with the help of spiritual power.
