Chapter 322 Prayer

With guards blocking the door and maids surrounding him, Jiang Changning couldn't see what was going on outside. Hearing the sounds, it was so noisy that he couldn't hear anything.

This kind of unknown makes people panic. Jiang Changning hugged his two sons, tried to stay calm, and comforted them softly.

About a quarter of an hour later, I heard the guard outside the tent say: "I have seen the prince in my humble position."

Jiang Changning looked up and saw King Jin striding in. He was relieved and said, "Your Majesty."

"Are you scared?" King Jin asked.

"Yes." Jiang Changning nodded without holding on, "Are you injured?"

"I'm not injured. Let's go. I'll take you back to your home first." King Jin smiled.

The dragon boat race ended hastily due to boat collisions and assassinations, and the banks of the moat are now in chaos.

On the way back, Jiang Changning asked, "Has the assassin been caught?"

"They were all dead men. When they saw that they couldn't escape, they took poison and committed suicide."

Jiang Changning took a breath of air and didn't ask any more questions.

Returning to the palace, the concubine already knew what happened by the moat. She took her two grandsons and looked at them carefully for a long time. "I asked the stove to boil some calming tea. You can each drink a bowl."

After drinking the calming tea, Jiang Changning sent people to the Wen family to inquire about the Wen family and Princess Kangren.

The King of Jin hurriedly entered the palace. After leaving, he did not return to the palace for five days.

During this period, Chang Youzhong came back and picked up a change of clothes.

He told Jiang Changning, "The prince is busy with political affairs in the palace. He will return to the palace after finishing his work. The princess should not worry."

"You have to remind the prince to eat on time, and don't let him work hungry and wear himself out." Jiang Changning gave him the small bundle of clothes.

When it came to the assassination, Jiang Changning did not dare to let people inquire about it, for fear of touching on obscure matters and causing death.

The atmosphere in the city was also very tense, with Jingzhao government officials patrolling the streets and alleys.

Anyone who leaves the city will be questioned and searched by the soldiers guarding the city. If there is anything suspicious, they will be imprisoned.

When King Jin comes back, Jiang Changning will know why he feels like facing a formidable enemy.

"Your Majesty was unconscious and has not woken up yet."

Jiang Changning frowned, "Didn't you say that the assassin didn't succeed? Why is Your Majesty still injured?"

"No injuries, just too frightened. The doctor said it was apathy."

Jiang Changning was stunned. He was not injured, he was just frightened, and he was unconscious for so many days.

Although the emperor was not very old, he was still in his teens. Even if he could not survive the collapse of Mount Tai without changing his appearance, he should not be so frightened that he fell into a coma!

Those companions who are the same age as him are fine. The little emperor really does not have the slightest air of an emperor or the demeanor of a king of a country.

"Did the imperial physician tell you when your Majesty will wake up?" Jiang Changning asked.

King Jin frowned, "The imperial doctor is helpless."

Jiang Changning sighed, a country cannot live without a king for a day. If the little emperor doesn't wake up, the country will be in trouble.

The next day, the Empress Dowager ordered the female family members of various palaces to go to Huangjue Temple to pray for the little emperor.

"Cousin, the house is going to trouble you." Jiang Changning didn't want to go. Her third child had only been here for two months, and she was really worried.

But the Queen Mother's decree could not be violated, especially since this was a matter of praying for the little emperor. She did not dare to offend the Queen Mother's nerves here, so she packed her luggage honestly and set off for Huangjue Temple.

Huangjue Temple is a royal temple, one hundred and fifty miles away from the city, which is quite far.

"Don't worry, cousin, I will take good care of Xiao Ming and the others." Yan Yinyao knew what she cared about most.

Jiang Changning specifically told Prince Jin, "My lord, don't stay in the palace all the time. You should come back to see your sons occasionally."

"Princess, please don't worry, the little king will definitely obey your orders." King Jin said with a smile.

"Don't be so glib. Don't get too busy and ignore everything and make yourself tired and sick. It's you who will suffer."

"I obey the princess' instructions. I will eat on time and go to bed on time. I will never make myself tired or sick and make the princess feel distressed." Prince Jin hugged her and said.

Jiang Changning pushed him away and gave him an angrily look, "I don't feel bad."

At this time, the maid came to report that the carriage was ready.

King Jin sent Jiang Changning out and told his maids, "You must stay by the princess's side and serve her. Do you understand?"

Xiaochun quickly responded and then got on the carriage.

Jiang Changning lifted the curtains and waved to King Jin, who responded with a smile.

When the carriage left, King Jin's face darkened, "Cao Jiang, you stay in the mansion and protect the people in the mansion. No one is allowed to leave the mansion without my order."

"I understand the humble position." Cao Jiang responded.

King Jin deliberately teased Jiang Changning in order to distract Jiang Changning and prevent her from seeing the seriousness of the matter.

The real reason why the little emperor was unconscious was not that he was overly frightened, but that he was poisoned.

The imperial doctors tried their best, but could not cure the poison. It was only a matter of time before the little emperor died.

The little emperor was young, had no wedding, and had no heirs. When he died, the throne became vacant.

Who wouldn’t want to sit in that seat above ten thousand people?

The King of Jin had this intention, and the King of Qing also had this ambition.

There is only one position, the winner is crowned emperor, and the loser dies without a burial place.

Although I didn't expect that it was the Empress Dowager who came forward and asked the Empress Dowager to control the female family members in the name of praying for the emperor's blessings.

But if he had known that King Qing was acting despicably, he would definitely resort to this trick to force him to submit. He had already arranged manpower at Huangjue Temple.

The King of Jin was making arrangements at the palace. Jiang Changning's carriage arrived at the gate of the palace. Princess De and the others had already arrived. Under the guidance of the guards, they lined up to wait for the Queen Mother's phoenix chariot.

After waiting for half an hour, the phoenix chariot came out of the palace, and then the huge team went out to Huangjue Temple.

Huangjue Temple is a royal temple that has been expanding over the years. It occupies a large area and is majestic.

Especially the one hundred and ninety-nine stone steps outside the temple gate add to the majesty and extraordinary momentum of the temple.

Jiang Changning got off the carriage, saw the long stone steps, and took a breath. If he climbed up, he would probably lose half his life.

The Queen Mother also said: "To show piety, you need to kowtow step by step."

Jiang Changning felt his vision go dark and almost fainted on the spot.

"It's really fatal." Princess De whispered beside her.

Jiang Changning gritted his molars and said, "Let's go."

Who makes the imperial power supreme and the Queen Mother’s oral orders cannot be violated?

It took more than an hour for the ladies to stand outside the towering mountain gate. They were panting and their legs were shaking. They relied on the support of their maids to barely stand.

Jiang Changning felt that she had used up all the exercise she had done in the past ten years today.

Huangjue Temple is built according to the mountain and is divided into three roads. The middle road is the mountain gate, the stele pavilion, the release pool, the bell tower and the drum tower, the Tianwang Hall and the Main Hall.

There is a plaque hanging on the mountain gate, which reads: Huangjue Zen Temple was built by imperial decree.

This is the handwriting of the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty, and it is as impressive as a dragon.

The concubines were about to follow the Queen Mother in when someone suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no, my wife has fainted."

Jiang Changning looked over, but his vision was blocked and he couldn't see clearly who it was.

"Carry the person into the Zen room to rest, and ask the master in the temple to take a look." The Queen Mother said coldly.
