Chapter 505: I'm not going anywhere
3 min read714 words
There are three women in one play, and if there are thirty women, then there
are more than ten plays.
If it were thirty women who were panicked and frightened, it would be hell.
Zhao Yuanjing squatted on the roof of the Ci'an Palace, almost overwhelmed by
the crying and howling inside.
Except for the queen mother who can stay alone in the bedroom, the other
concubines, including Jin Yao and Guo Ning, are all locked in a room.
There are roughly forty or fifty women.
Of course the emperor's women were more than this number, but King Cheng was
not interested in arresting all the women, only those with higher ranks.
Zhao Yuanjing lifted a piece of tiles and glanced around. Among a group of
crying women, he saw Princess Yufu, but there was no Princess Yuanjia.
Yuan Yan is the younger sister of King Lu, and King Lu will naturally not
arrest her.
But Yu Fu was sitting alone in the corner, her thin body shrank, looking very
lonely and pitiful.
Zhao Yuanjing thinks there is still someone missing.
After thinking about it, he remembered.
The two women Zhou Yizhi and Gu Yunxiang are missing.
They are the emperor's most beloved concubines in the past year, not to
mention that Gu Yunxiang is still pregnant. It stands to reason that King
Cheng will not miss them.
Maybe they, like Yun Dai, ran away early when they saw the bad situation?
Zhao Yuanjing finished reading, closed the tiles, and went to the queen
mother's bedroom.
The Queen Mother sat on the side of the bed, holding a string of Buddhist
beads in her hands, closing her eyes, and muttering words.
Zhou Yizhi was also here, she sat next to the Queen Mother, her expression
nervous.
There were a lot of soldiers surrounding the Cian Temple, but not many inside.
The sleeping palace was also quiet, with only the old mother.
Although Wang Cheng said rebellion, he was still respectful to the Queen
Mother and didn't do anything to her.
Zhao Yuanjing jumped in from the window.
"Who is it?" Zhou Yizhi jumped up alertly, holding a golden hairpin tightly in
his hand, and aimed at Zhao Yuanjing.
"It's me." Zhao Yuanjing walked out from the shadow, showing his face.
Zhou Yizhi was stunned: "His Royal Highness?"
When the queen mother heard the words, she opened her eyes suddenly, saw Zhao
Yuanjing's face clearly, and stood up excitedly, "Yuanjing, are you okay?"
"Grandson is late." Zhao Yuanjing walked to her, kneeled and bowed, "I was
shocked by the emperor's grandmother."
The queen mother stepped forward to support him, tears falling: "Yuan Jing,
you are still alive, great, great..."
Zhao Yuanjing raised her eyebrows: "Why does the emperor grandmother think
that her grandson is dead?"
"It's the words from the King Cheng, saying you are gone, forcing the family
to persuade the emperor to hand over the jade seal and the edict." The queen
mother happily pulled him, "It's fine if you're all right, and it's all
right."
Zhao Yuanjing helped her sit down and said: "The emperor's grandmother can
rest assured that her grandson will surely quell this rebellion and prevent
King Cheng and King Lu from succeeding."
"Why, Yuan Qi also participated?"
"Yes." Zhao Yuanjing said, "Emperor Grandmother, right now in the palace are
the people of King Cheng, you are too dangerous here. I will send you out of
the palace first."
"The Ai's family won't go anywhere." The Queen Mother shook her head, "The
Ai's family is so old and has lived in the palace for a lifetime. The first
emperor wanted the Ai's family to guard here, so the Ai's family would not go
anywhere."
Zhao Yuanjing said: "But King Cheng will use you to blackmail your father. In
case your father really surrenders the edict..."
"Your father's temperament, the Ai family understands. He won't." The queen
mother smiled slightly, "He is different from you. Yuan Jing, the Ai family is
here, and the Zhao family is here. If even the Ai family is here. After
escaping, our Zhao imperial family was exhausted. The Ai family waited for
King Cheng to come, fearing that he would not dare to come in front of the Ai
family!"
