N-A-A Chapter 157 Almost Going Crazy
Chapter 157 Almost Going Crazy
With the joining of the Xuanwu Guards, the rebellion was quickly put down without causing any trouble.
The harem was not affected, this group of people came mainly to rescue Prince Ning.
The emperor was standing on the steps waiting. He refused to go in despite Du Man's attempts to persuade him. Du Man had no choice but to go in and get a cloak for the emperor to put on.
Although summer is approaching, the emperor is weak and cannot feel the heat.
He straightened the collar of his cloak and looked at the entrance of the palace. Although he didn't say anything, everyone knew what he was waiting for. No one dared to speak. The courtyard was full of people, but the only sound could be heard was the quiet burning of torches.
Rong Heqing was also waiting.
Soon, two figures ran in from the door. Her eyes lit up, but then dimmed again when she realized there were only two people.
The people who came were Tang Yiming and Yuan Jin. They walked in quickly, knelt in front of the emperor and Rong Heqing, and said guiltily: "We are incompetent and let His Royal Highness Prince Ning escape! Please punish us, Your Majesty!"
The emperor closed his eyes and said nothing.
Rong Heqing was not surprised at all. Prince Ning was a treacherous and unpredictable person, and with the help of the advanced system, she couldn't do anything about him, let alone other people.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. The ability of the advanced system should not be underestimated. If he didn't have any attack props, then even if she had a shield, it wouldn't be enough, right?
999: [It may not be that he doesn't have any, but the energy consumed by attacking items is twice that of defensive items. The more powerful the items, the higher the energy consumption, so most people can only use them once or twice in a short period of time. It is unknown how many items he has, but he will definitely not use them unless it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if he uses the attacking items and runs out of energy, he will not be able to use other items to escape.]
Rong Heqing suddenly realized, that's what it was.
She glanced at the emperor and said softly, "Father, Prince Ning is clearly well prepared. He has made two plans in advance. If he goes to the prison to kill me, the imperial guards will most likely not come out. If he fails, the imperial guards will revolt and he can take the opportunity to escape."
"We were always in a passive position, so it's not surprising that he escaped. Ultimately, it was because I didn't think things through."
The emperor let out a deep breath, "What does it have to do with you? If you hadn't been alert, it would be you and me who would be dead now."
He looked at Tang Yiming and Yuan Jin, waved his hand and said, "Get up, you have done your best."
Rong Heqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then Father, what's next——"
The emperor's face was grim. "Du Man——"
"I'm here!" Du Man quickly stepped forward.
The emperor said in a deep voice: "Pass on my order. Prince Ning is rebellious and intends to rebel. His crime is unforgivable! From today on, he will be demoted to a commoner and hunted down with all your strength, regardless of life or death - search for Jingwei's hiding place. If you find him, don't report it, just eliminate him immediately!"
Du Man's heart trembled, and he said respectfully: "Yes, I will obey your order!"
"Father, please go in quickly. You are just getting well now. You can't work so hard."
Rong Heqing gave Tang Yiming and Yuan Jin a look, and they understood and retreated. She helped the emperor into the bedroom, took out an antidote pill and gave it to the emperor. The emperor's complexion immediately looked much better.
That day he smashed the pot and the bowl. He had not taken poison in the past few days and his health had actually improved a lot. But in order to pretend to be more realistic, he had not eaten much in the past few days, which resulted in a loss of qi and blood, so he looked very weak.
There was no need to pretend anymore. Rong Heqing quickly sent someone to call the imperial physician to examine the emperor again.
The imperial physician rushed over in the middle of the night and found that the emperor's condition had improved. He did not dare to ask more questions. He discussed with Rong Heqing for a while and wrote a new prescription for detoxification and nourishing the body.
After all the trouble, it was almost dawn.
Ronghe Qing felt so tired that he could fall asleep while standing.
Upon seeing this, the emperor told her to go back and rest first. He said that she had been wronged in the past few days and that he would reward her well after this matter was over.
Rong Heqing didn't really care about the award.
She has the title of princess and is also the wife of Prince Duan, so she cannot be given a higher title. At most, she can be rewarded with some things.
It was almost dawn, and Rong Heqing returned to Prince Duan's Mansion in the last bit of darkness.
The first thing she did after returning was to go to the bathroom to take a bath. Wanzhuzheliu was almost crying with joy to see her come back, and insisted on helping her take a bath.
Rong and Qing were too tired to muster up any energy, so they just let them go.
After washing up, she fell on the bed and fell asleep.
I slept until noon the next day and was woken up by hunger.
When she woke up, she heard someone talking at the door. She didn't open her eyes immediately, but eavesdropped for a while with her eyes closed.
Wanzhu and Zheliu said, "The people from Luyang Marquis's Mansion are here again. They said that we can't let anyone go back for the time being. Why are they acting like a dog-skin plaster?"
Zhe Liu snorted: "Isn't it because the princess is not at home? Now that the princess is back, you can see that she will definitely not come tomorrow."
Rong Heqing curled his lips. It’s hard to say whether the people in Luyang Marquis’ Mansion will have a tomorrow.
As expected, just after she had breakfast, someone came from the palace and asked Chenyu to enter the palace for an audience.
Chenyu came to her, feeling a little uneasy, "Princess, His Majesty wants to see me, is it about the matter of Marquis Luyang's Mansion?"
Rong He finished rinsing his mouth, wiped his lips with a handkerchief, stood up and said, "Don't panic, I told His Majesty about your situation, and His Majesty should ask you to ask. I will go with you to the palace, and you can tell the truth then. And you don't have to worry about the matter of Jingwei, you saved me, and the merits and demerits are offset, His Majesty will not punish you."
Chenyu felt more at ease after hearing this, and rode into the palace with Rong Heqing's carriage.
The emperor was still very weak today, but his complexion was much better than before. At least it was not that sickly and sallow complexion anymore.
He didn't say anything when they came together. After they bowed, he said, "Give Princess Duan a seat."
"Yes."
Immediately, a young eunuch moved the armchair aside.
Rong Heqing said: "Thank you, father."
She sat down on the armchair, while Chenyu was still kneeling on the ground. The emperor said, "You, raise your head."
"Yes."
Chenyu looked up but didn't dare to look directly into the emperor's eyes. She only looked at his chin. The emperor looked at her for a moment and nodded, saying, "You do look a bit like Marquis Lu Yang in your eyes and eyebrows."
Chenyu didn't say anything, and soon Du Man came in quickly, "Your Majesty, Marquis Lu Yang and his wife and the young lady of the prince want to see you."
"Let them in."
The next moment, footsteps were heard behind Chenyu.
She lowered her eyes and her body unconsciously tensed.
Soon, the four of them knelt down beside her. Su Yunzhi looked at her in surprise, "Chen Yu? Why are you here?"
Rong Heqing glanced at the emperor, and the emperor coughed lightly. Su Yunzhi immediately turned around and saluted with Marquis Lu Yang and his wife and Su Mingzhan.
"Su Mo, do you admit your guilt?"
Marquis Lu Yang was shocked and asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, I don't know what crime I have committed. Please tell me clearly!"
The wife of Marquis Luyang also looked pale, and looked at Chenyu in doubt, "Your Majesty, did Chenyu make a mistake? Your Majesty, please look carefully, Chenyu is just Yun's concubine, and her actions cannot represent the Marquis' Mansion!"
