Chapter 199 something happened
It is said that in order to prevent others from robbing tombs, Cao Cao set up seventy-two dubious tombs. They were real and fake, false and true. Outsiders had no idea which tomb was the real tomb, so they could not rob it.
The idea Ning Fu gave Zhao Xu was inspired by the legend of Cao Cao's tomb.
Of course, Ning Fu would definitely not tell Zhao Xu the truth. After all, one was a grave where dead people were buried, and the other was the delivery room where Concubine Liu Guifei gave birth.
Zhao Xu agreed very much with Ning Fu's idea, and immediately ordered people to seal off five palaces in the palace, claiming that they were all Liu Guifei's bedrooms, but no one knew which palace she actually lived in.
Speaking of which, Zhao Xu and Liu Guifei were also miserable. They were pregnant and giving birth at home, but they had to do so secretly and put so much thought into it. Ning Fu felt aggrieved for Zhao Xu.
But there is nothing we can do now. The man behind the scenes in the palace cannot be hidden, and neither Ning Fu nor Zhao Bai can do anything.
In addition, setting up a suspicious array in the palace can also increase the difficulty of the mastermind behind the scenes. If the opponent really wants to take action, it is likely to leave a bigger flaw. As long as this flaw can be grasped, the opponent can definitely be found.
In the early days, Ning Fu and Zhao Bai were also looking forward to the suspicion in the palace, and even released some false news in the palace to attract the mastermind behind the scenes.
However, the man behind the scenes was very cautious, or perhaps he was frightened by what happened at the Imperial Tomb, and never made any move.
A few months later, Concubine Liu was finally about to give birth, but the man behind the scenes still didn't show up, which made Ning Fu and Zhao Bai very disappointed.
"I'm afraid we have already alerted the enemy before. The man behind the scenes was frightened and may not make any further moves in the short term."
Zhao Bai patted the information on the table and said with a heartbroken expression.
During this period, he checked countless information and used the palace's manpower and material resources, but still found nothing, which made him feel frustrated.
"This is really troublesome. The other party has been lurking in the palace since the Zhenzong period. It has been hundreds of years now. If he is really determined to lurk, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to find traces of the other party!"
Ning Fu also said with the same frown. This was the first time since he came to the Song Dynasty that he had encountered such a difficult opponent.
At this moment, suddenly I saw a chamberlain rushing over to report: "Your Highness, Uncle Qing Ping, Concubine Liu Guifei is about to give birth. The official family invites you two to enter the palace quickly!"
When they heard that Concubine Liu Guifei was about to give birth, Ning Fu and Zhao Bai also stood up immediately.
When Concubine Liu gave birth, the man behind the scenes would probably take advantage of it, so they had been waiting for this day.
So the two of them entered the palace quickly. Tong Guan had already been waiting for them at the palace gate, and then personally took them to a palace called Qinghe Palace, where Concubine Liu was waiting to give birth.
In addition to the Qinghe Palace, there are four other suspicious palaces, but now that Concubine Liu is about to give birth, her true location will definitely be exposed, so the previous suspicious palaces will also become invalid.
When Ning Fu and Zhao Bai arrived at Qinghe Palace, they saw Zhao Xu walking around anxiously in the palace.
"Brother Emperor, is Concubine Liu Guifei going to give birth now?"
Zhao Bai stepped forward and asked Zhao Xu.
"I have been sent to the delivery room for a while, and the female doctor said that the birth will take a while."
Zhao Xu answered immediately and then added.
"Everyone who enters the delivery room has been thoroughly checked and there should be no problems."
Zhao Xu also knew that this was the day of production that was most likely to go wrong. After all, there were so many people and it was easy for the mastermind behind the scenes to take advantage of the loopholes.
Ning Fu and Zhao Bai also looked at each other after hearing this. What they are most worried about now is not that the mastermind behind the scenes will take action, but that the other party will not take action. After all, in the current situation, if the other party is really silent, there is nothing they can do.
Soon news came out in the delivery room that Concubine Liu had given birth, and the female doctors in the palace also began to deliver her baby. The imperial doctor was also summoned to wait in the palace to prevent any accidents.
However, Concubine Liu's delivery was unexpectedly smooth. Just two hours later, good news came from the delivery room that Concubine Liu had given birth to a son for Zhao Xu.
This made Zhao Xu excitedly clapped his hands. With this son, he finally no longer had to worry about having no one to inherit the throne.
Concubine Liu Guifei gave birth to a prince, and the mother and son were safe. This was indeed a great joy.
But for Ning Fu and Zhao Bai, their last hope was shattered. Even the best time to take action, the man behind the scenes gave up. Obviously the other party was more calm than them.
Finally, after Ning Fu and Zhao Bai congratulated Zhao Xu, they left the palace together.
On the way back, both of them seemed very silent, with no intention of speaking.
"Although the prince was born safely, there is an example of Princess Xu before us, so we cannot let down our guard. The other party will definitely attack the prince again as he grows up."
Finally, Ning Fu broke the silence and spoke.
"But no one knows when he will strike. We are too passive!"
Zhao Bai said dejectedly.
Although he is blind, he always prides himself on being extremely intelligent. Together with Ning Fu, there should be nothing that can trouble them together, but unexpectedly, they still cannot catch the mastermind behind the scenes.
Ning Fu sighed secretly when he heard this. Of course he knew that doing so was very passive, but in this situation, they had no other way except waiting.
However, at this moment, a person's shout was suddenly heard from behind, which made Ning Fu and Zhao Bai stop in their tracks.
"Your Highness! Uncle Qingping! Something happened!"
I saw Tong Guan running and shouting from behind, panting.
Ning Fu and Zhao Bai were shocked, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"
"The prince...the prince was poisoned!"
"What!"
Ning Fu and Zhao Bai were all shocked. They had just come out of Qinghe Palace. The prince was still fine at that time. How come the prince was poisoned just a moment later?
"But don't worry, you two, the other side didn't succeed!"
Tong Guan explained again at this time, which made Ning Fu and Zhao Bai sigh in relief. After all, the prince had just been born. If he was really poisoned, he might not even be able to save him.
"What's going on? Hasn't Qinghe Palace strengthened its defenses? How come someone still found an opportunity to poison it?"
Zhao Bai asked eagerly.
"We don't know how the other party got in. The person who poisoned has not been caught yet, but the officials are furious and have everyone under control. The person who poisoned must be among those people..."
