Chapter 789 Distribution of Military Power

After he left, Zian slowly climbed out of bed, sat in front of the table, poured a glass of water to drink, and felt that his lips and tongue were not as dry as before.

She fell into a coma for two days, which proved that she hadn't touched a drop of water or eaten a single grain of rice for two days. Even if she hadn't been drugged, she wouldn't have the slightest strength.

After drinking the water, she rested for a while, reached out to touch her needle bag, but found nothing, and they took the needle bag away.

Without the needle pack, without the scar cord, she lost the ability to save herself and defend herself.

Fortunately, there is no needle pack, and she is still a doctor, so she knows that needles may not be necessary to stimulate acupuncture points.

But now that she hasn't eaten, she can't summon up the strength to press the acupuncture points.

"Is anyone there?" she called.

Someone opened the door, and it turned out to be Shangqiu. He came in and asked with his hands down, "What orders does the princess have?"

"I'm hungry and want to eat." Zian said weakly.

Shangqiu smiled and said: "Wangfei, don't worry, when the prince went out just now, he ordered someone to prepare it, and the princess will be able to eat after a while."

"Thank you!" Zian looked at him and asked, "Where is this place?"

"If you go back to the princess, this is Luan City."

Luancheng?

Zian was taken aback, "Didn't you mean to go back to the southern country? Why did you go to Luancheng?"

Luancheng and Nanguo are one east and one south, and they go in different directions. Although the earth is round, you can always go there, but why waste time and waste your footsteps?

Shangqiu said with a smile: "It's back to the southern country, it's safer to go to Luancheng."

Zian understood that they made a circle on purpose. When they returned to the southern country, many people would have guessed, but they did not take the road to the south, but took the east to make a big circle. , I must think that I guessed wrong, I won't stay for long, and I must look for her everywhere.

"Princess, if I have no other orders, I will go out first." Shangqiu said.

Zian suddenly called to him, "Don't be busy, you can talk to me."

Shangqiu looked at her with a smile, "Princess, it is impossible to ask anything from my mouth."

"I know, you are a smart person, don't worry, I just want to know if my husband is in the hands of your lord."

"No!" Shangqiu said.

"No?"

Shangqiu said: "There's no need to hide this from the princess, we did send people out, but if we didn't catch the prince, our success fell short."

Zian was secretly suspicious, if Lao Qi hadn't fallen into the hands of King Nanhuai, could it have fallen into the hands of the emperor?

If according to the previous speculation, the emperor dealt with Lao Qi in order to force the Empress Dowager to go back, then his purpose has been achieved, and Lao Qi should be safe.

"Princess, the emperor didn't catch the lord!" Shang Qiu seemed to know what she was thinking, and told her directly.

Zi'an was taken aback, "Didn't it fall into the hands of the emperor?"

"Yes, when we left Beijing, the emperor had sent a large number of people to look for the whereabouts of the regent. Therefore, we inferred that the prince did not fall into the hands of the emperor."

Zi'an was in a state of confusion. If Lao Qi hadn't fallen into anyone's hands, since he had escaped, he would definitely rush to Hanshan to join him, but he disappeared.

There are only two possibilities, one possibility is death.

Another possibility is that he was seriously injured, and he didn't know where to hide.

But, just as Shang Qiu said, King Nanhuai sent people out, and the emperor also sent people to look for him. If he wanted to hide, it would be easier said than done.

Now, I am afraid that Beijing has already been searched all over. If he has the strength to escape, even if he doesn't go to Chen's mansion, he will definitely go to Prince Li's mansion. Otherwise, where would he have a place to hide?

I was so anxious that I felt a pain in my stomach.

She subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover it, with a look of pain on her face.

"My concubine, take care of your health, and think of the baby in everything." Shangqiu advised.

Her body is inherently weak, and it is extremely difficult to conceive. She is not yet three months old, and the fetus may be miscarried at any time.

This child is hard-won, she can't just let it go, otherwise I will feel sorry for Lao Qi.

Thinking of this, Zian tried to take a deep breath, his face was pale, and he waved his hands weakly, "Sir, can you prescribe me an anti-fetal medicine?"

"Of course it is possible!" Shangqiu said.

"Thank you!"

Shang Qiu stepped forward and helped her walk to the bed, "I know a little about medicine, the princess should stay in bed and rest now, although those drugs are not harmful to the fetus, after all, she hasn't eaten for two days, and her body is extremely weak, so it is better bed."

Zian only felt a dull pain in her abdomen, and she was terrified in her heart, but she didn't show it, she just thanked her politely.

After Shangqiu settled her down, he turned around and went out to order someone to fetch the medicine.

After about a stick of incense, a girl in green clothes came in with a bowl of millet porridge.

The green-clothed girl went straight to the bed and said, "Princess, sir ordered the servants to bring rice porridge, saying that the princess has not eaten for a long time, so she should eat some soft rice porridge so as not to hurt her spleen and stomach."

Zian stretched out his hand to serve it, but unexpectedly, he didn't even have the strength to carry a bowl of porridge.

The girl in green said: "Princess, let me feed you."

"I'm sorry." Zian could only be a waste.

The girl in green clothes didn't seem to be very good at serving others. When she was feeding Zi'an porridge, her movements seemed very rusty. Zi'an looked at her hands. There were some scars on the back of her hands, and the skin was very rough. She looked like a person who practiced martial arts.

"What's your name?" Zi'an warmed up to her.

The girl said: "My name is Lvyi."

"The girl in green is the one who serves the prince?"

The green clothes are honest, "I didn't serve the lord in the past, but now I'm out and I'm bringing the concubine with me. The lord has no female relatives, so let me serve you."

She didn't call herself a servant girl, and she really didn't serve people when she thought about it.

If she is not a servant or a servant, then she must know the inside story.

Zian was not in a hurry, so as not to show her thoughts and arouse her vigilance.

Xiwei Palace.

Since Aunt Snake gave the emperor a elixir, he has become more energetic, and he goes to the East Pavilion to pay his respects every day, but the Empress Dowager mostly doesn't see him, and when she sees him, she just asks him to kowtow and get out of here.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he specially ordered the palace staff to prepare a family banquet, saying that he would have a meal with his ancestors.

However, the Empress Dowager did not attend, but just ate some casually in the East Pavilion. As a last resort, he ordered someone to send the food to the East Pavilion, and the Empress Dowager rewarded them all for the servants to eat.

And on the morning of the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Empress Dowager finally settled on the distribution of military power. The generals of each army had 50,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, and the rest were all under the control of the Minister of the Ministry of War. The Minister of the Ministry of War was King Liang. The equivalent of military power is in her hands.

Military power has always been the emperor's bottom line, but the empress dowager has been pushing his bottom line. He thought that this family banquet would help him to harmonize the relationship with his ancestors, but he didn't expect his ancestors to be so cold-hearted, and he finally became angry. up.

On the eighteenth night, the more he thought about it in the palace, the more aggrieved he felt, so he put on his clothes and went to the East Pavilion.

"Go to sleep, the emperor will kowtow tomorrow!" Aunt A Snake blocked him from the door.

The emperor had a gloomy face, "If she doesn't see me, I will kneel here all night until she sees me."

"Why bother? You should know that she is a soft-hearted person. After all these years, don't you know her well? Go back, don't make things difficult for yourself." Aunt Snake said patiently.

Aunt A Snake was also afraid that he would push the Empress Dowager into a hurry. Once she got angry, she would lose her character.

Things are deadlocked, and it's not good for anyone.
