Chapter six hundred and ninety seventh escape
Is Empress Dowager Cao dead?
When Jiang Xian heard this news, he was confused for a moment.
It was just that the Tartars went south.
In her previous life, she could survive this disaster. Empress Dowager Cao was a hundred times smarter and more capable than her. Although she thought that Empress Dowager Cao might have died, it was just a result obtained by rational analysis and did not agree with it. But now, Empress Dowager Cao is dead!
Just died like this!
He was rushed into the bedroom by the Tartars and dragged it down from the bed and stabbed to death!
"No!" Jiang Xian said softly.
Empress Dowager Cao is a heroine. She should talk to the ministers in the hall. Even if she is imprisoned, she should plan to hold Zhao Xi and force Zhao Yi to hang himself, instead of being killed like now, like an old lady from an ordinary official family...
She stared blankly at Minzhou crying, not knowing where she was and what she should do.
"Princess! Princess!" The seventh aunt, who didn't know the grudge between her and Empress Dowager Cao, called her in tears, thinking that she was sad for the death of her elders, and handed her a veal to her, "You, wipe your tears!"
It turned out that she was crying.
Are you sympathetic to each other? Or are you glad that I met Li Qian in my previous life?
Jiang Xian couldn't explain it clearly.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked Minzhou: "Did the Empress Dowager be killed in Yiyun Pavilion?"
"Yes!" Seeing Jiang Xian sad, Minzhou's heart settled for most of the time.
Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Dowager are in a dispute, who doesn’t know in the palace?
The princess no longer likes Empress Dowager Cao, and the fox is sad at this time when the rabbit dies, and it is probably not difficult for him.
Jiang Xian glanced at the seventh aunt.
The seventh aunt had long received Li Qian's instructions. No matter what happened, she would be with Jiang Xian as long as she went out and could not lose a single step. Therefore, when Li Changqing's personal soldiers were looking for someone as Jiang Xian's instructions, she had been standing under the big tree with Jiang Xian. Seeing this, she hurriedly ordered Xiang'er and Zhu'er: "You go and have a look!"
The two of them responded in a silence and went to Yiyun Hall.
Minzhou said with tears in his eyes: "Princess, how many people have you brought here? Let's leave here as soon as possible? Yesterday I saw someone wandering around here?"
Jiang Xian's expression darkened and said, "What's going on? Explain it clearly to me!"
"Yes!" Minzhou responded, showing a look of pain, "We had not heard any news before. At that time, we only felt that the movement outside was unusual, so we sent someone to see it, but we did not come back. After the Empress Dowager came to Wanshou Mountain to rest, she was very cautious. It happened that night that I was on duty again, and she saw that the old man was pale and hurriedly told me to carry the eldest son of the emperor and hide in the small Buddhist temple first.
"When I heard this, I hurried to the side hall where the eldest son rested, quietly hugged the eldest son and prepared to go to the small Buddhist temple. But the eldest son's wet nurse had just pushed the door open and I saw seven or eight black shadows jumping down from the wall. We... we thought we were the emperor's people, but we were so scared that we blew the lights and crawled out of the back window. Fortunately, the eldest son was a smart child, and the wet nurse told him not to make a sound, so he didn't say a word. We thought, to hide in the woods first and see the situation. As a result, we just knelt down in the woods, when we saw the palace maid who came to look for us with the lamps covered her mouth from behind by two black shadows and cut her throat with a knife... When the lantern fell, the fire shone on his face. Although he was covered, his figure and eyes exposed outside were obvious, he looked like a Tartar...
“We were all shocked at that time.
"If the person sent by the emperor would definitely not harm the eldest son. But if it were Tartars, who would know what would happen?
"Didn't there anyone in the previous dynasty who took the prince and grandson to the outside world to make cattle and horses?
"We are afraid of being captured by the Tartars, so we dare not make a statement. Seeing that many of their people were heading to Yiyun Pavilion, we went to Shuimu's own pier under the cover of night. Thinking that those Tartars might not be good at riding, they came at night, and the Beijing Guards would definitely not know. As long as we can survive the dawn, the Beijing Guards will definitely see that Wanshou Mountain has changed, and we will be saved by then.
"But when we finally ran to Shuimu's personal dock in the dark, we found that the dock had been occupied by the Tartars.
"We want to retreat but not retreat, but we can't move forward. We have to kneel in the grass beside the dock, praying secretly to the Bodhisattva's blessing and the blessing of the emperors of all generations, so that we can escape this disaster.
"The Bodhisattva seemed to hear it. Just when we were squatting and couldn't support it, two people went to the grass to Xiaojie. While Xiaojie was still chatting in official language. One said that these Tartars would probably empty Wanshou Mountain. They were too disadvantageous. Should they make a fortune? The other scolded him, saying why the Tartars were let in and robbed. The things in Wanshou Mountain were made of internal products. If they got the hands, it would be fine to use them to remove the dirty things. They were afraid that someone would stay and treat them as a family heirloom. If they were accidentally revealed, they would be troublesome to track them down. And if it weren't for these treasures from Wanshou Mountain, how could those Tartars be willing to take the risk to help them kill?"
Speaking of this, he burst into tears.
"Princess, Princess! They are colluding with both inside and outside! They have attracted the Tartars to steal their own people! Even if they have a deep hatred in the sea of blood, they can't do this! This is to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors, and forget the ancestors in a few words!"
Jiang Xian's heart became cold instead.
She asked Minzhou lightly: "What's next?"
Jiang Xian's beautiful face was as calm as water, but like a deep, dark and peaceful sea. Once it was angered, it would storm the shore and devour everything.
Minzhou suddenly felt cold in his heart.
His mouth tilted, and after a while, he murmured: "We waited until the sky was white and those people didn't leave. From time to time, someone came over to ask if he saw other people... We knew that they were looking for the eldest son of the emperor. We dared not move. At noon, the eldest son of the emperor was so dark that his mouth was peeled off. I thought that it would not work if he continued like this, even if he was not found by the Tartars, he would not be able to survive. Then I suddenly remembered that there was a small secret room under the incense table for Guanyin Bodhisattva behind the Leshou Hall. I, I, sent the eldest son's wet nurse to find something to eat, and ran into the Leshou Hall with the trouble of carrying the eldest son...
"Fortunately, no one cares about the offerings on the Buddha's table, but I dare not take them too much. I took a little bit and fed them all to the emperor's eldest son. I only drank two sips of water in the past two days.
"Later, I felt that there was no one outside, so I ran out alone to find out the news.
"Who knew that there were still people searching for gardens without taking a few steps.
"I hid for a few more days. When there was no movement in the garden, I went to Yiyun Pavilion. I met another palace maid who escaped at Yiyun Pavilion. Only then did I realize that the Empress Dowager had been killed and even her body was taken away by those people. Now Wanshou Mountain is dead and can escape, but no one will come to save us.
"We all guessed that something happened in the capital.
"I instructed the palace maid to inquire about the situation.
"But she didn't come back once she went.
"Later, someone came to patrol the mountain. Fortunately, I became more scrupulous at that time and hid in the corridor of the side hall of Renshou Hall with the eldest son. No matter whether the palace maid escaped or was caught, it was impossible to give us where we were... But there was really a shortage of food and clothing here, and I could stand it, but the eldest son might not be able to stand it. I came out to find food, but looked up and saw the princess..."
