Chapter 86 The Regent Is Gone
The crown prince was still a little afraid of this uncle, he didn't dare to force his way in, but he didn't leave. He stood guard at the door with a group of guards, and said to Prince An: "Then wait for the uncle to get better before I go in to visit."
Prince An couldn't drive him away, so he had to let him wait at the door.
On Murong Zhuangzhuang's side, he didn't find out anything, and the people around the concubine were tight-lipped, and Zhuangzhuang couldn't open their mouths.
At this time, people from the mansion came to inform Prince An that Ni Rong had woken up.
Prince An hurried in. Seeing Prince An, Ni Rong struggled to get up and asked anxiously, "How is your lord?"
Prince An couldn't bear to tell him the bad news, so he just said: "The imperial doctor is guarding over there."
Ni Rong lowered his head, tears welled up, "My brother is dead, isn't he?"
Just after waking up, he already asked the doctor. The doctor said that Ada was dead, but the prince didn't know the situation yet.
Prince An comforted: "Ni Rong, my condolences."
Ni Rong took a deep breath, holding back tears.
Prince An sat down and asked, "Ni Rong, what happened that night? Why were you all ambushed so badly? Are you from Mr. Liang?"
Ni Rong looked at the doctor beside him, hesitant to speak.
Prince An glanced at it, turned away from the left and right, leaving him alone to talk with Ni Rong.
"My lord, we were ambushed by two groups of people, Taifu Liang's people, and..." He paused, lowered his voice, and said in a pale voice, "There are also people from the concubine."
Prince An was beyond shocked, "What?"
how can that be? How could the concubine ambush her son?
There's no reason to do that, absolutely no reason.
He remembered that when she saw Ah Jie's death today, although she was very sad and even cried, but that kind of sadness was too fake.
It's not that the sadness is completely fake, she must be sad after her son died, but there is always an unspeakable weirdness.
Ni Rong said sadly: "We were in ambush and fought with Liang Taifu's people. We were few, and the number of people who set up an ambush there was three times larger than ours. It was hard to break out of the encirclement. Most of them were injured. But at this time, there was a second ambush."
"How do you know it's the concubine?" Prince An still couldn't believe it.
Ni Rong looked at Prince An and smiled sadly, "The second group of people are all masters in the martial arts, and one of them, I have seen him in the palace. Although his face was covered that night, I saw a bullet on the back of his hand. It's a big mole, the prince has also seen this person, so he also knows that the second group of people was sent by the concubine."
Prince An didn't make a sound, but his mind turned rapidly.
The concubine's attitude towards the empress dowager completely changed, as if she wanted to provoke the empress dowager, perhaps mixed with some personal grievances and personal emotions, but it seemed that angering the empress dowager was her ultimate goal.
She irritated the empress dowager, knowing that Zi'an had excellent medical skills in curing Ah Xin, she refused to let Zi'an be treated, and even after returning to the mansion, she didn't immediately go to the imperial doctor. Spread the word.
What good would it do her?
If Ah Jie had an accident, wouldn't it be harmful to her if the crown prince supervised the country?
Ni Rong sighed softly, "My lord, we have all forgotten someone."
Prince An was startled, and suddenly a person came to mind.
If Ah Jie had an accident and the emperor was seriously ill, the only person who could compete with the prince would be Lao Ba.
Lao Ba was granted the title of King of Nanhuai, enfeoffed in the Southern Kingdom, and all the emperor sent him to the Southern Kingdom was because he understood his ambitions.
Lao Ba went to the southern country for three years, and almost everyone forgot about him.
She even forgot that the concubine's favorite was not Lao Qi, but Lao Ba.
Is she going to kill Ah Jie and let Lao Ba come back to compete with the prince?
If this is the case, everything can be explained. She knew about Liang Taifu's ambush plan, so she sent a killer to kill Ah Jie. After Ah Jie died, everything would be blamed on Liang Taifu and the prince.
If she started a dispute with the empress dowager again and made things worse, the old eighth would have to go back to Beijing to attend the funeral and protect his mother, everything was so logical...
Prince An only felt terrified in his heart. It was not uncommon for brothers to cross the wall and fight to the death for power.
He didn't even dare to think about it.
However, such things as praying mantises catching cicadas and orioles are behind, the noble concubine can do it.
In the evening, a move by the noble concubine confirmed Prince An's conjecture.
The noble concubine actually wanted to write a letter to Lao Ba, asking him to come back for the funeral.
At this time, when all the news is blocked, you still have to write to Lao Ba to let him come back. What does it mean?
There is no doubt that the crown prince is gaining power temporarily, but when Lao Ba returns to Beijing, it will be revealed that Liang Taifu and the prince killed Ah Jie, the prince will surely fall, and Lao Ba will be able to supervise the country smoothly.
Lao Ba's current military strength is probably beyond the estimation of everyone. There is no prince who can compete with him.
At this time, the guards of Murong Jie came to report that Murong Jie's body was missing. After the noble concubine learned about it, she became furious and ordered people to search the whole city.
Prince An began to suspect that it was the Concubine Gui, but when he went to see the Concubine Gui, the sadness on her face had been replaced by anger, which made her face distorted and hideous.
She wasn't the one who transferred Ah Jie's body, so who could it be?
The noble concubine ordered people to search the whole city, which meant that the news of the regent's death could not be blocked, and it had already spread.
The regent died, and even his body was stolen. This news was almost a blockbuster, blowing up the entire government and the opposition.
However, there was another news that the person who stole the regent's body was Xia Zi'an, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion.
When the news reached the Xiangfu, Prime Minister Xia, who should have been the happiest, was not happy.
He was happy when he got the news of the regent's death, but when he heard that Xia Zian took the regent's body, he began to think deeply.
It's not that simple, it's impossible for Xia Zian to take Murong Jie away from the heavily guarded palace.
He sent people from the mansion to assist the concubine to find Murong Jie's body.
The whole of Kyoto boiled up overnight.
Regardless of whether they agree with or disagree with the regent's political views, people have been sent to find them.
After all, he hadn't seen the dead body of the regent yet, and no one believed that he was really dead, so he still had to do some formal work.
And in a residential house in the suburbs of Beijing, the smoke from the kitchen is curling up, and the smell of medicine is lingering in the house.
"Fire first, then slow fire, first martial fire, then slow fire."
It was the great general Xiao Tuo who made the medicine, and he kept repeating Zian's orders.
In the room of the house, Zi'an had just performed an injection for Murong Jie, unlocking the previously sealed meridians.
Zian had been worried before, afraid that there would be no way to seal it in a hurry, but obviously, she succeeded.
After Xiao Tuo boiled the medicine, the two of them poured down the medicine soup. These are Shengxue soup, which can cooperate with her treatment.
After feeding the medicine, Xiao Tuo went out to cook again.
Zi An lay beside the bed, so tired that it was hard to even breathe.
When I got down, I fell asleep.
It wasn't until a hand gently stroked her head that she suddenly woke up, and suddenly raised her head to see that Murong Jie had woken up and was staring at her.
His hand slipped quietly on her cheek, and he smiled softly, "Like a cat!"
Zi'an smiled childishly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Welcome back to the world."
The heart that had been suspended for a long time fell to the ground at that moment, and it felt like a lifetime away.
