Chapter 62 Concubine Mei's Trap
Prince An was very satisfied with the answer, so he didn't ask any more questions, and walked over to have a look at King Liang.
When he walked past Zi'an, Zi'an still felt that powerful and compelling aura, which was very similar to that of Murong Jie, but he was more restrained than Murong Jie.
Murong Jie is the kind of person who shines with radiance even when he is sitting quietly.
Zian shook his head, why did he always think of Murong Jie?
There was a feeling of restlessness in his heart, Zi'an tried his best to shake it off and walked over, saying: "My lord, Your Highness is much better now."
"I can tell from his face," Prince An said.
Zi'an took the painting from the side and handed it to Prince An, "The regent asked his servants to hand it over to you."
Prince An reached out to take it, with no expression on his face, just said indifferently: "Yes."
Seeing that he didn't open it to look at it, and didn't pass it to the guard behind him, but just kept holding it in his hand, he asked, "Your Majesty, don't you want to look at it?"
The light reflected on his face, and he said in a low voice, "Look."
Zian was startled, "See?"
He hasn't even opened it, how can he read it?
He emphasized seriously, "Yes, I've seen it."
Zian looked at him, not understanding what he meant.
However, Prince An obviously didn't want to express anything. After asking about King Liang's situation, he left.
Zi'an remembered what Murong Jie said, and couldn't imagine how much Prince An loved his mother, but now it seems that it is not the case.
If he really has feelings for his mother, he should open it immediately, after all, it was given to him by his mother.
That's right, where in the world is there any unswerving love? More than ten years have passed, and Prince An may have forgotten it long ago.
Zian has never experienced love much, and he doesn't know that love can be divided into several types.
That night, King Liang slept soundly. He had a fever in the middle of the night. Zian touched it with his hands, but it was not considered a high fever, which meant that the inflammation was slowly fading away.
As expected, the regent did not come, and did not show up until dawn.
Early in the morning, the queen came and made arrangements for going out of the palace.
The queen sent Nanny Yang to follow Zi'an, and said clearly that it was because Xiaosun was injured and couldn't take care of Zi'an, so she asked Nanny Yang to come and take care of him. In fact, she wanted to monitor Zian's treatment of King Liang through Madam Yang.
Before leaving the palace, Concubine Mei came to find Zi'an.
She took Zi'an's hand and walked outside the hall, saying: "Zian, my cousin knew I was sorry for you yesterday, but you are a good girl, you should know that my cousin did this out of necessity."
Zi'an didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd, "Zian knew, Zi'an never blamed the empress."
Concubine Mei said with a sad face: "I have nothing to do. Now the emperor is seriously ill and the empress is the only one. Our mother and son live under her power, like duckweed without roots. We don't know when she will get rid of us. The prince is strong, and you have seen the matter of King Liang. The prince never thinks of brotherhood. His fellow brothers can do this, so how can he show mercy to the third prince? So your father approached him and said that he could be the support of the third prince. Bengong agreed to him in a moment of heat, but thinking about it now, he is really stupid to frame you and your mother like this."
Concubine Mei spoke sincerely, with tears in her eyes, guilt and anxiety all over her face.
Zi'an comforted softly: "Your Majesty's situation, Zi'an understands and understands, Madam, don't worry, Zi'an has never blamed Your Majesty."
Concubine Mei breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
She glanced at the busy people behind Zi'an, and asked, "Are you leaving the palace today?"
"Yes, Your Highness's situation has stabilized a lot, and the Empress has granted me permission to leave the palace." Zi'an said.
Concubine Mei said sincerely: "Zian, you have to be more careful when you leave the palace and return home, you know? Don't trust anyone."
Zi An Fu responded, "Thank you for reminding me, Zi An knows."
Concubine Mei hummed, "Okay, then go ahead, by the way, you are leaving the palace to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager, go there, while the Empress Dowager has not taken a nap yet."
Zi An snorted, "Thank you, Madam, for reminding me."
Concubine Mei glanced at her with a smile, and left with the maid.
Zian looked at her back, turned around silently, and entered the hall.
She said to Nanny Yang: "Mommy, pack your things first, I'll go and bid farewell to the Empress Dowager."
Nanny Yang said: "Okay, miss, let's go, it's the right thing to do, do you remember the way? Why don't I order someone to send you there?"
Zi'an said: "No need, I remember the way."
Nanny Yang said in surprise: "Missy has only been there once, but she remembers it?"
Zi'an has always had a good memory, especially in the secret service team, where he needs to be particularly sensitive to routes.
It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the Hall of Eternal Life to the Shouan Palace of the Empress Dowager.
Go through the usual corridor and pass the gate of Xiwei Palace.
Xiwei Palace is the place where the emperor recuperates his illness. The location is relatively quiet. Passing by outside the palace, one can feel the silence in the palace.
Except for a few people serving in front of the imperial court, almost no one was allowed to enter the palace, and even the empress had to obtain the consent of the empress dowager if she wanted to enter.
The outside of the hall was heavily guarded by dozens of people, and no one was allowed to approach.
The last time Zian passed by, he sat on shoulders with the queen, and did not stop when passing by.
Walk quickly past Xiwei Palace, and walk about a hundred meters to Yilan Palace.
Yilan Palace is now the palace where Concubine Yi lives. Concubine Yi is the mother concubine of the Seventh Prince and has always lived in seclusion.
As soon as Zi'an arrived at the gate of Yilan Palace, he saw a guard coming out from inside. Seeing Zi'an, he said, "It's just in time. The Seventh Prince has gone somewhere, so go in and look for it."
Zi'an said, "I'm not..."
The guard didn't wait for her to finish, he grabbed her wrist and pulled it in, "What are you talking about? Hurry up and look for it, don't play with the water like last time and fall into the water, the empress is taking a nap, if you wake up and find seven The prince is gone, how many people will be killed?"
After entering the hall, the hall was very quiet, and even the servants in the palace didn't see much.
The guard dragged Zi'an away, but Zi'an couldn't do anything, secretly worried.
When they came to the Yilan Garden of Yilan Palace, the guard suddenly said angrily to Zian: "Who are you? How dare you break into Yilan Palace?"
Seeing his sudden change of face, Zian knew that he had been tricked.
She looked around with a sullen face, and someone came quickly.
A cold female voice came from across the door in the hall, "Who is outside?"
"Going back to the empress, I don't know which girl from the palace sneaked in and eavesdropped outside this door, but was taken down by my subordinates." The guard replied through the door.
The female voice was silent for a while, and suddenly, with a murderous look, she said: "Take it down first, I will be here soon."
"Yes!" The guard twisted Zian's hand, and the people around rushed over.
It's not a coincidence, it's not a coincidence that I'm going to leave the palace, but I'm stuck here.
Zi'an immediately thought of Concubine Mei, and she specially reminded herself to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, because she had already set a trap here.
