Chapter 205 Eventful Night
This night is destined to be an intriguing night.
Because of Shi Heng's death, Xu Bai and Zhao Huchen were still discussing how to deal with this sudden situation. Someone came outside the Nanzhen Fushimen Gate.
The person who came this time was an acquaintance.
"Mr. Xu, the prince told you to enter the palace immediately!" Qin Ji could not see any expression on his face, but at this moment, he was already clear about how Xu Bai, who had a big problem, could give up the opportunity to inquire.
"This, Lord Xu will know when he sees the prince!" Qin Ji was abnormal and spoke very sternly. In the past, as long as the matter of King Yi was not involved, it was easy to talk between him and Xu Bai.
"Crown Prince?" Xu Bai suddenly realized that in Qin Ji's mouth, the name of King Yi had changed.
"Early tomorrow morning, Your Majesty will declare the will of King Yi as the crown prince, and I will report it to the world!" Qin Ji nodded: "After seeing the crown prince, Lord Xu remember to change his words, don't say it's right, it will make the crown prince dislike it!"
"I understand!" Xu Bai nodded, and he felt more and more sure that something had happened in his heart that he didn't know. Otherwise, there would be no Fore-legged Jinyiwei who came to execute Shi Heng with the will, and the Back-legged Prince summoned him into the palace again.
Especially now it is getting late, and at this time, the palace has already been put into the palace. The palace ban is not something that you want to enter. Especially after experiencing the Nangong Incident, the palace ban in the current palace is much more tight and stricter than before.
After changing his clothes in a hurry, he followed Qin Ji towards the palace. Unexpectedly, before the palace ban, all his guards and other things were left outside, and he could only follow Qin Ji into the palace alone.
I don't know if it's not an illusion, but he felt that there were obviously more imperial guards in the palace today, and the obvious imperial guards were not just one organization. Xu Chengzu's men were born as a hidden guard, and even if he wore military uniforms, he could smell the smell from afar. However, the fierce imperial guards around these people with a faint murderous aura were not like Xu Chengzu's men.
If he had seen these people being transferred by the emperor to deal with the eradication of Shi Heng today, he would have believed this if he had seen Lu Gao kill Shi Heng tonight.
But at this moment, he was a little uncertain. If this was true, the emperor would not have to rush to execute Shi Heng. He was the knife and Shi Heng was already fish on the chopping board, so there was no need to do so.
"That's Li Wen's soldier!"
King Yi should now be called the crown prince. When he saw Xu Bai, he had no intention of concealing Xu Bai's doubts.
"Border Army?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes. What kind of way is this? The border army acts as an imperial guard. Is the emperor's mind in trouble?
"It's the Emperor's meaning!" The prince glanced at Xu Bai: "Li Wen was in charge of Datong, and it was the Emperor's approval!"
"What does Your Majesty mean?" Xu Bai's heart skipped a beat and became more and more confused. Will the emperor tolerate the empress dowager who directly transferred her close military generals to take over the palace guards?
"Li Wen's soldiers were originally transferred to control Shi Heng!" said the prince.
"Shi Heng has died suddenly in prison!" Xu Bai said softly, secretly looking at the prince's face. There was no change in the prince's face. He knew that the prince knew about it too.
"I know, it was the emperor's will issued by my father's name!" The prince looked at Xu Bai: "My father suddenly felt uncomfortable!"
"Ah!" Xu Bai exclaimed in a low voice, "Is this the reason why the prince summoned his ministers to the palace?"
"There may be a big chaos tonight!" The prince turned his head and looked at him: "Originally, my father planned to slowly deal with Shi Heng's party, to slowly cut off his gang members and minions, and then take him off in one fell swoop. However, this matter cannot be done like this at this moment!"
"What does the Queen Mother mean?" Xu Bai asked tentatively.
The prince nodded seriously: "That's right!"
Xu Bai was silent, looked at the prince with a serious face, and sighed slightly in his heart.
Sure enough, something big happened. It seems that the prince was not sure at this moment. He didn't know what the emperor called "physical discomfort" and how long it would take to recover. However, since the border troops were filled with imperial guards, the empress dowager hurriedly eliminated Shi Heng's party, and it seemed that he was not optimistic.
"What does Your Highness need me to do?" he asked in a low voice.
"I don't know!" The prince was a little confused: "When I was most frightened, you were by my side. At this time, I think you should be by my side too!"
"Don't worry, your highness, as long as your highness gives orders, I will wear armor day and night to protect your Highness!" Xu Bai nodded and said in a deep voice.
"I also want Mr. Shang to come over and plan for me!" The prince whispered: "There are some things that I cannot discuss with Grandma the Emperor, nor can I think about it myself. You two are by my side, so I feel at ease!"
"I sent someone to invite Mr. Shang!" Xu Bai said, looking around again: "Your Highness will also ask me to give me a command. I will send some guards in the palace to protect His Highness!"
"It's not that far!" The prince shook his head: "Grandma the emperor will definitely not harm me. Moreover, the father is just a little ill. The imperial doctors have passed, and it may be fine in two days!"
"Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager will naturally not be detrimental to Your Highness!" Xu Bai shook his head slightly: "However, in this huge palace, there are more than Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager. The edict of Your Majesty to be the crown prince tomorrow will be issued to the world. Your Highness is the crown prince of a country. Naturally, this safety cannot be arranged by others!"
"I'm afraid I'm going to tell Grandma the Emperor!" The prince hesitated a little.
"If your highness is inconvenient to talk, please see the Queen Mother!" Xu Bai said in a deep voice.
"You?" The prince looked at Xu Bai and shook his head: "You can't tell me about this, I can only say it. However, I have to wait a little longer. Grandma Huang's side is probably in a mess!"
"Can't wait!" Xu Bai was a little anxious, "At least, some of the guards I brought outside the palace will be summoned into the palace first, otherwise, I would be really worried!"
"Your guard!" The prince's brow relaxed: "That shouldn't be a problem. I'll give you the tokens in the palace, you can bring them in!"
A moment later, a eunuch hurried in the Shoukang Palace, not far from the prince's residence, and said a few words in the empress dowager's ear.
"I understand!" The Empress Dowager rubbed her temples: "Let Xu Chengzu let him go. The Prince's Guards are going to enter the palace. What's the point of reporting?"
The eunuch hurried away, the queen mother sighed and put down her hand. In front of him, a female doctor knelt on her tremblingly, waiting for her orders.
"The diagnosis at the Imperial Hospital is similar to the opinions of my servants, but this is a major matter. Without the instructions of the Queen Mother, the Imperial Doctors dare not prescribe prescriptions and prescribe medicine easily..."
