Chapter 422: It’s too late, it’s too late
Eunuch Wu naturally didn't care. Since they had doubts, they asked Taifu Liu to go back and prove to them that what he said was true.
Eunuch Wu led Taifu Liu into the side hall. At this time, the head of the White House was performing acupuncture and taking pulse on Emperor Rui who was lying on the dragon couch.
Looking up to see Taifu Liu, Chief Bai took out a bottle of Qingshen ointment from the medicine box, put it on Emperor Rui's nose and let him smell it.
Emperor Rui woke up suddenly, his eyes were splitting, and he waved his arms randomly in the air. If Eunuch Wu hadn't pulled the head of the White House away, he would probably have been hit in the face.
"The treacherous son Zhuo Taining! I have always been partial to you, but you dare to rebel..."
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Rui fell straight down.
This caused everyone to exclaim in surprise.
"His Majesty--"
After a lot of fussing, the comatose Emperor Rui was finally placed. After Bai Yuan checked his pulse for the first time and confirmed that he was fine, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Although Rui Di's words just now were a bit vague, they were very simple and clear.
Taifu Liu sighed lightly. Now, he could explain something to the courtiers.He kowtowed heavily to the unconscious Rui Emperor, "Your Majesty, you want the dragon body to be healthy!"
Eunuch Wu helped Taifu Liu up and said, "Please take care of your health. I will take you back to the Golden Palace."
After returning to the Jinluan Hall, Taifu Liu faced everyone's curious or worried eyes and briefly talked about what happened in the side hall. The whole hall was filled with sighs and sighs, and they all lamented that Zhuo Taining was really not a thing. He was plotting to usurp the throne and had no regard for human relations.
Emperor Rui is unconscious, and it is natural for His Highness the Crown Prince to supervise the country.Fortunately, it is the annual holiday, and the royalists are looking forward to the first morning of the new year in fifteen days, when His Majesty's body can be restored to its original state.
The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving a mess behind.
Eunuch Wu took a deep breath. He couldn't rest tonight. He still had a big mess to clean up.
Shang Wan noticed that the crowd was almost gone and walked slowly to Eunuch Wu.
"Eunuch Wu, what happened at the side hall? Why don't you see His Royal Highness?" Shang Wanyi was an insider of what happened tonight, so he naturally saw that something was wrong.
When Eunuch Wu saw that the person speaking was Lord Shang Wan and Yi Shang, he immediately led him to a deserted corner and told him everything that had just happened in the side hall.
Zhuo Lingchu entered the side hall and caught Zhuo Taining in action. Naturally, he took advantage of the situation and captured him in one fell swoop.
What no one expected was that Zhuo Taining would have a hidden smoke ball in his hand. During the fight, Zhuo Taining actually jumped out of the window and escaped in the chaos.
This was not a big flaw. However, just when Zhuo Lingchu was taking advantage of the smoke to disperse slightly and planned to capture Zhuo Taining, Zhuo Lingchu's capable subordinate Chu Yi suddenly broke into the side hall.
He said that the Crown Princess was kidnapped by evildoers, and he came to ask for support from His Highness the Crown Prince.
Hearing this, His Highness the Crown Prince was stunned for a moment, and then commanded everyone to immediately go out of the city to search for the Crown Princess.
After hearing Eunuch Wu's words, Shang Wanyi's scalp seemed to explode.
The Crown Princess has always been hiding in a villa, so how could she be kidnapped and taken away?Who is so bold!
Shang Wanyi had heard from his father how much Zhuo Lingchu attached great importance to the Crown Princess. At this important moment, something happened at the other end of the village. Was it a coincidence or Zhuo Taining's intentional act?
A cold chill ran down Shang Wanyi's spine.
No, he had to get out of the palace quickly and see if there was anything he could do to help.
There might be Zhuo Taining's remnants outside. He would first help Zhuo Lingchu stabilize the stability of Xijing City.
......
The screen returns to two hours ago.
A villa on the outskirts of Beijing.
Because it was the lively New Year's Eve, several tables were set up in the villa, and the entire villa was immersed in the lively festive atmosphere.
Mu Yun, the master, has always been kind, and the people around her work hard with her. It is not easy to come from Dashuo to Xichang all the way. Mu Yun specially arranged for everyone in the other village to have a holiday, except for those who stayed Several guards who take turns to be on duty, and others can attend the reunion dinner while serving the master.
On the table, there are dumplings, a special food during the Spring Festival in Dashuo, and hot pots that every household in Xichang prepares during the Spring Festival.
By the way, old man Chijue is not here today. He said that Aunt Bai asked him to go to the Bai family for New Year's Eve dinner.The progress of these two people has been extremely fast. Before everything goes well, old man Chi Jue went to our family's family dinner.
Mu Yun remembered a saying that said, "The old house is on fire, and the more it burns, the more it burns." It probably describes the igniting relationship between old man Chi Jue and Aunt Bai Hao.
It was also strange, thinking of a fire in my mind, and with a "whoosh" sound, a bright light appeared out of thin air in the air outside the window, followed by the deafening sound of fireworks.
The huge bunch of gorgeous fireworks in the sky instantly enveloped the entire villa, and the night turned into day for an instant.
Is someone setting off fireworks?
Before Mu Yun had time to think, she heard someone in the courtyard shout: "Look, is the mountain behind there on fire?"
"Ah, it's true, it's gone. Go put out the fire!"
on fire?It will affect other villages.Mu Yun's heart suddenly trembled, and she said to Concubine Xian who was dining at the same table: "Concubine, let me go out and take a look."
Gao Ningxin was worried and followed him, "I'm with you."
Concubine Xian ordered: "You two, put on your cotton cloaks, it's cold outside."
Mu Yun and Gao Ningxin left Wanchunyuan together and saw Chu Yi who looked a little nervous.
"Madam, I wonder if some villagers went to the top of the mountain to set off fireworks and ignited the dry grass and dry firewood on the mountain. This would inevitably affect other villages. My subordinates have ordered Zuo Liang to bring a few people over to help put out the fire."
Mu Yun frowned, villagers, villagers again.
Perhaps the villa that had been vacant for many years was suddenly occupied by people. The villagers a few miles away had nothing to do, so they all liked to come to the villa to find out what was going on and see whose aunt was living in the villa. Zhuang, if you get close by the way, you might be able to make a good living.
A while ago, Xu Feng and the others had captured several trustworthy villagers. However, after a brief inspection, they found nothing unusual and released them.
Mu Yun pinched her eyebrows. It seemed that this villa would not be clean in the future. Fireworks were set off nearby.
There was a lot of dry grass and dry firewood on the mountain in winter, and the fire spread quickly. The small team led by Zuo Liang could not cope with it. Xu Feng also led others carrying buckets. Just like that, most of the guards on the other side of the village put down their bowls and chopsticks. He ran over and put out the fire.
Gao Ningxin looked at the red firelight on the hillside not far away and said worriedly: "We are not going to move overnight on New Year's Eve, are we? No, I have to go to the room to pack up my manuscripts."
Just as Mu Yun was about to comfort him, from the corner of his eye, he saw dozens of black shadows jumping out of the wall of the villa and throwing something towards the people inside the wall.
"Be careful! There is a hidden weapon!"
