After a night of wind and snow, the imperial palace complex was covered with a vast color.
When Duanpin came over, Emperor Guangxi had just finished drinking the medicine and was about to lie down when he saw her, he sat up again.
Even though the diseased bones are separated, those eyes still have the power that has dominated the world for decades, which is unfathomable.
When Duanpin thought of the secret letter, he felt chill.
It seemed that it was at this moment that she truly realized what the "power of the emperor" was.
"How?" Emperor Guangxi looked at her and asked casually.
Duan Ping did not move forward, and knelt on the ground with his knees, "I am guilty and failed to complete the task."
"Oh?" There was no fluctuation on Emperor Guangxi's face, "The secret letter was intercepted?"
"Yes." Duanpin lowered his eyebrows, "As soon as he left the palace, he was followed. Before the secret letter arrived at the Duke's mansion of the 6th Kingdom, he had already fallen into the hands of others."
After the words fell, the entire inner palace fell into silence.
No one made a sound, and the atmosphere became tense.
Duanpin did not dare to look directly at Emperor Guangxi, but could feel that the other person's eyes fell on him were as if they were substantial.
The oppression brought by the power of the emperor made her feel worried and her back kept sweating.
I don’t know how long it took, Emperor Guangxi chuckled and said, “It’s nothing important, I’ll be cut off.”
This sounds relaxed, but in fact it has shown his temptation towards her.
Duanbin swallowed with difficulty, and could almost hear the sound of his heart beating.
"Come here." Emperor Guangxi waved to her.
Duanpin stood up and moved toward the dragon couch.
Emperor Guangxi took out an embroidered handkerchief from under the pillow and wiped her forehead. "It's so cold and sweaty. I think I'm sick, so let the imperial doctor take a closer look."
"Thank you, thank you Your Majesty." Duan Pin tried hard to squeeze out a smile and asked again, "There is the Duke's Mansion of the Sixth Kingdom..."
“It doesn’t matter.”
Emperor Guangxi took back his handkerchief and leaned back, "It was the Tongji Society that gave me a headache."
After the accident between Song Wei, the court did not arrange support, and the Tongji Society is still rampant in doing evil.
The latest news is that the Tongji Society has arrived in Tongzhou and can enter Beijing in one day at most.
Looking at the silent consort Duan, Emperor Guangxi asked: "Do Zhen'er have any good ideas to deal with this group of people properly?"
Duanpin thought carefully: "According to the concubine, it is better to send out the Jinyiwei, there is no case that they cannot handle."
"If we can dispatch the Jinyiwei, Yang Fu would not have arranged for Song Wei to suppress it at the beginning." Emperor Guangxi said.
Duanpin felt guilty.
Yang Fu asked Song Wei to go, so naturally he had no intention.
Emperor Guangxi continued: "The Tongji Society is related to the prince. My attitude towards the Tongji Society is to the prince. Zhen'er, do you think I will stay with this Tongji Society?"
The implication is that the prince should be abolished.
Duan Ping could only reply carefully: "When concubines and wives are concerned, it is not convenient to talk too much about the court affairs."
"But it's okay." Emperor Guangxi said: "I forgive you for not guilty."
After being driven to the shelves, Duan Penn was helpless, "The truth is not clear, and the emperor rashly proposed to depose the crown prince, which is too lacking in consideration."
"What a truth is unknown!" Emperor Guangxi's eyes were cold and faint, "Why would you rather go to the clan's house on my behalf to ask him what he meant?"
Duan Concubine was so scared that she trembled all over, "The emperor is confused. The crown prince is the crown prince. When interrogating him, he is the position of the Censorate. I am a concubine, so why should I take on this great responsibility?"
Emperor Guangxi smiled meaningfully.
Duan Ping was frightened a lot today, and her heartbeats like a drumbeat, "Princess..."
"It doesn't matter if the secret letter is robbed." Emperor Guangxi interrupted her, "It's the same if you can talk from the prince."
...
The snow was clear after the first time, and the winter sun was filled with coldness, dyeing the white snow on the glazed tiles with fine golden light.
The Zongren Mansion is located in the northwest corner of the inner city, with flying eaves spreading wings and towering high walls.
Duan Princess visited, and the heavy door gradually opened. Zong Zheng personally brought the most beloved empress in the palace to the inner hall.
After Zhao Xigang finished bathing, he used cold water today and a layer of cold air was emitting all over his body.
When he saw Duanpin, he quickly put on his outer robe, quickly put his jade fingers on his wet, and looked at the person at the door, "It turned out to be Duanpin, sit down."
Concubine Duan bent her knees, "I wish you goodbye to Your Highness."
"No need to be polite." Zhao Xi raised his hand, held the purple clay teapot, poured two cups of hot tea, "Please."
Duanpin stepped into the threshold and sat down slowly.
Zhao Xi took a sip of tea, "It's surprising that Gulai's residence has been around for more than half a month, but he didn't want to see the first one.
Duanpin said, "I came on order."
Zhao Xi didn't seem surprised, "Article the trial, or direct order?"
Duanpin sighed, "Your Highness is the only prince who is about to become an adult so far. Now he is the crown prince. He bears the high expectations of thousands of people. He is so popular with the people, why should he still be assassinated?"
Zhao Xi said, "The world is bustling with people for profit, and the world is bustling with people for profit. What I am alone seeking will promote the benefits of the world and eliminate the harm of the world."
After hearing his answer to the question, Duanpin said bluntly: "The emperor has made the idea of deposing the prince."
Zhao Xi smiled, "As the Empress said, I have the 'only' advantage. Do you know what this means? It means I cannot be replaced by a milk doll with a stinky and undry breasts."
Duan Pin smiled faintly, "Your Highness has nothing to say about whether he can be replaced."
Zhao Xi looked at her, and the coldness in her eyes was overflowing, "Collaborating with an internal official, murdering the queen, controlling the emperor, and intending to force the palace. In the past, I underestimated you."
Duanpin met Zhao Xi's eyes, "I only blame you. Your Highness has been born wrong. If you are my biological child, with the strength of the Liang and Yang families, you will be enough to help you become a treasure and have no worries in the country. It's a pity..."
"It's a pity that it's not the last moment, and the outcome is not decided." Zhao Xi shook the white glaze cup in his hand and greeted her from afar, "Let's wait and see."
...
There were some concerns in the past. After meeting the prince, Duan Ping finally believed what his uncle said.
Once Zhao Xi ascended the throne, the first person to clean up was the potentially threatening second prince.
She asked someone to send a message to Yang Fu, saying that she was ready.
It is naturally impossible to force the palace to be done overnight. The imperial seal is in the hands of Emperor Guangxi. If he wants to hand it over, he must use some extraordinary means.
Being able to hold the knife around the emperor's neck without any scruples requires the cooperation of the inner officials and the Imperial Guard.
The eunuch, the eunuch, is already bribed.
Zhu Wu, the commander of the Imperial Guard, was a cold-faced Yan Luo, and it was not easy to win over. Yang Fu set up a game, which caused Zhu Wu's eldest son to be flirted with. Yang Xueshan, the fourth lady of the Yang Mansion, had to be responsible for making a marriage contract.
Zhu Wu was forced to stand on the front line with Yang Fu.
In addition to bribing the inner officials and the Imperial Guards, they also have to guard against the Jinyiwei.
So a few days later, several officials from Guangnan Prefecture were killed one after another, shocking the government and the public. Emperor Guangxi ordered the transfer of most of the Jinyiwei to be arrested for investigation.
...
The winter solstice in the 134th year of the Chu Li period is known in history as the "Winter Solstice Rebellion".
On this day, the storm and snow were mixed, and all the ministers who came to court were besieged by the Anglo-Political Hall.
Yang Fu went to the harem and handed the letter of the throne that had not been sealed with seals to Duanpin.
Concubine Duan took it and asked, "Can you be careful with the prince?"
Yang Fuleng said: "Don't worry, he can't survive tonight."
Duanpin breathed a sigh of relief, sent Yang Fu away and started changing his clothes and putting on makeup.
The bronze mirror reflected the second prince Zhao Nuo who was sleeping in the small bed behind him. When thinking about what was about to be born, a hint of cold poison appeared on the corner of Duan's bright red lips.
"Empress, Miss Yang San entered the palace to ask for a visit." The voice of the great palace maid pulled her thoughts back.
Duan Ping frowned slightly, "What are she going to do?"
"I don't know." The palace maid said, "The third girl said, if she can't see the empress, she will kneel down for a long time."
In such a cold day, if you can't kneel up, your legs will probably be useless.
Duanpin looked at the sky. It was still early, so she calmed down and said, "Come in."
After a while, Yang Xueru was brought in. She was covered in wind and snow, describing her embarrassment with bruises on her forehead, which was in sharp contrast to the dazzling Duanpin.
"Auntie." Yang Xueru knelt on the ground and cried powerlessly, "I beg you to save your highness, and my grandfather wants to kill him."
Duanpin was unmoved, "I heard that you have been confined to the ground these days, why did you suddenly run out today?"
At this time, Yang Xueru couldn't listen to other words at all, and just kept repeating, "Auntie, please."
