Chapter 418: New Year's Eve Mutation

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, another New Year was coming, and the court also gave the officials a holiday. Since Li Hong's body suddenly recovered miraculously, the court has become more stable, and all those who had thoughts before have been restrained.

During this period, Zhang Zong was idle, and the martial arts school was on the right track. He basically didn't have to stare at him every day. He just needed to turn around occasionally. Li Hong's body also recovered, and a big stone was put down in his heart.

In addition, after this disaster, Li Hong finally realized that he was afraid, or that if there was something unexpected, it would only bring greater disaster to the Tang Dynasty, so he also paid attention to his health again. He did not need Zhang Zong and Li Chongye to supervise him at all, and he would take the initiative to rest. He also tried his best to hand over his daily government affairs to the ministers, and his daily rest time increased a lot.

Seeing Li Hong's changes, Zhang Zong finally felt relieved. He even felt that Li Hong's illness might have been a good thing before, at least it made Li Hong understand the importance of his body, especially at this critical moment, his body must not have any problems.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Zhang Zong's family is also very lively. Because Zhang Jianzhi has also come to Luoyang, many Zhang clans from Xiangzhou have also come with him. After several years of experience, Zhang Jing, who is an official, was finally transferred back to Luoyang this year. Although he was only a small county magistrate of Chang'an, he was an official in Beijing and was promoted in the future.

Although Zhang Jianzhi was assigned a mansion, the mansion had not been renovated yet, so he could only live in Zhang Zong this year and could not move in until next year. The Zhang clans who came to Luoyang also lived in Zhang Zong's place, but that was nothing. Anyway, the princess's mansion was big enough, and the front yard alone was enough to accommodate everyone.

It was New Year's Eve that night. Zhang Zong accompanied Zhang Jianzhi to entertain the Zhang clan members, and then returned to the inner house to accompany Taiping and the others to stay up to the New Year. Ning'er is also here this year. In fact, since he came to Luoyang, Ning'er has almost lived with Zhang Zong, and Princess Chengyang also accused of their relationship.

This year, there was more Ning'er, so Zhang Zong was particularly excited and designed a few interesting games himself. After he was tired of playing, he told them some stories related to the New Year.

However, Taiping seemed a little tired today. She fell asleep halfway through Zhang Zong's story, so Zhang Zong personally helped her to bed and continued to watch over the night with Ning'er and Wan'er.

However, just after the third update, when the New Year was just around the corner, I suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps coming from outside. Then a maid ran in panic and whispered to Zhang Zong: "Report to the prince consort, someone is coming from the palace!"

"Why did the palace send someone to come at this time?" Zhang Zong was stunned when he heard this. After all, even Li Hong should have had a rest during the New Year. How could he suddenly send someone to his place?

"I don't know. The person who came here just said that Your Majesty urgently summoned the prince-consort into the palace, and he was in a hurry!" The maid answered again.

Hearing the four words "100,000-urgent" Zhang Zong immediately stood up. He understood Li Hong's character. If it were not a particularly important thing, he would probably not have summoned himself to the palace at this time.

So after Zhang Zong and Ning'er and Wan'er explained, they immediately stepped into the front hall. Sure enough, they saw an eunuch waiting for him with an anxious look on his face, so he immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with Your Majesty summoning me to the palace?"

The eunuch seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Zong, but when he heard Zhang Zong ask about the reason for entering the palace, he suddenly became nervous, and then he hesitated and replied: "I... I don't know."

Of course, Zhang Zong saw that the eunuch did not tell the truth, but the other party refused to say it, and he did not ask any further questions. Moreover, he knew this eunuch and was the confidant around Li Hong, so he could definitely trust it.

"Okay, let's enter the palace immediately!" Zhang Zong immediately spoke again. The carriage outside was ready at this time, so he and the eunuch boarded the carriage and rushed to the palace as fast as possible.

Zhang Zong didn't say anything along the way, but he found that the eunuch sitting opposite him was sweating all the time, as if he was very nervous, which made Zhang Zong finally unable to help but ask again: "Besides summoning me to the palace, who else has he summoned to the palace?"

"I don't know!" The eunuch shook his head again, but his expression was already a little panicked.

"I don't know again! Then what do you know?" Zhang Zong also looked dark and asked. The eunuch knew something, but he refused to say it clearly, which made him a little annoyed.

"Don't make things difficult for me anymore. You will naturally understand after entering the palace!" The eunuch suddenly smiled bitterly and replied, but the sweat on his forehead became even more dense.

Seeing the eunuch's performance, Zhang Zong suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, which made him frown. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Is there something wrong with His Majesty's body?"

As soon as Zhang Zong said the eunuch's body trembled. Obviously, Zhang Zong's words had an idea, but he finally lowered his head and said again: "I don't know. I will know everything after the prince-consort enters the palace!"

Zhang Zong was also angry and anxious when he heard this, but he knew that the reason why this eunuch was so strict was that he had received orders, so he did not dare to say anything nonsense. But the more he did this, the more worried Zhang Zong was. Moreover, judging from the other party's performance, it was very likely that Li Hong's health had another problem.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zong was anxious and immediately ordered the coachman to speed up. It was so late that the gate of the imperial city had been closed long ago, but the eunuch brought the sign to enter the palace, so Zhang Zong's carriage also rushed into the palace and finally came outside Li Hong's bedroom.

Before the carriage could stop, Zhang Zong jumped down, but Li Chongye rushed to meet him. His eyes were red and swollen. He obviously had cried before, and the guards around the bedroom were tightly guarded, which made Zhang Zong suddenly feel a sense of dazedness, as if he was back to the situation when Li Hong was sick that day.

"Sir, you are finally here!" Li Chongye stepped forward with a crying voice and grabbed Zhang Zong's arm, his face full of sadness and helplessness.

"Where is Your Majesty?" Zhang Zong asked anxiously without caring about comforting Li Chongye.

"The father is inside, sir, please follow me in, otherwise... otherwise..."
