Chapter 248 Anger
Chapter 248 Anger
"Eunuch Zhang, I have something to ask for an audience with my father. Please go and pass it on."
The fourth prince Qin Mingyun hurried to Zhaozheng Hall and ran into Zhang Deli, who was talking to the guards with a serious face.
When the guard saw the Fourth Prince coming, he left without saying anything.
"Your servant Zhang Deli greets His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. I wish His Royal Highness the best. I wonder what the Fourth Prince wants to discuss with your Majesty?"
"If there is no important matter, can't a son see his father, and a minister see his emperor? Your Highness wants to see the emperor, please ask Eunuch Zhang to go and tell him as soon as possible!"
"It is really unfortunate that you, Your Highness the Fourth Prince, have come here. His Majesty left the palace yesterday and has not returned yet." Zhang Deli replied calmly.
"My father is not in the palace, so who ordered the closure of the Moon Palace?
Could it be the Queen Mother?
But this morning, when I was having breakfast with my mother, I heard from her that my mother was not in the palace either. With such a big thing happening, are both my father and mother not in the palace?
How dare you, Zhang Deli, forge your father's imperial decree, seal off the palace, and imprison the concubines and the prince?"
Qin Mingyun glared and shouted angrily with red eyes.
The eunuchs guarding the Yueshi Palace were all familiar faces in the Zhaozheng Palace. Qin Mingyun knew at a glance that they were Zhang Deli's men. He originally thought that it was an order from his father, but it turned out that his father had left the palace yesterday.
As for the queen mother, he only knew that she was not in the Pepper Palace, but even if she was in the palace, she could not bypass his father and order Zhang Deli's men in the Zhaozheng Palace. If it was the queen mother's intention, then the people who sealed off the Moon Room Palace should be from the Ye Ting.
This morning, my mother saw Lady Li escorting Zhao to the Nanxun Palace. How long has it been since then? Zhang Deli has sealed off the Yueshi Palace. Isn't he afraid that my father will blame him?
Why is Zhang Deli so bold? He dared to imprison the third brother and Li Meiren today, who will he imprison tomorrow? Is there anyone in the palace that this dog slave is afraid of?
Third brother is a prince, the son of the emperor, and Zhang Deli is just a dog. How dare he do that?
"Don't worry, Your Highness the Fourth Prince. I have only asked my men to temporarily guard the Moon Chamber Palace. I have already sent a letter to His Majesty as soon as possible. His Majesty will be back soon. As for why the Moon Chamber Palace is under guard, I think it is better for you not to know."
Qin Mingyun raised his face and looked at Zhang Deli coldly without answering.
"Your Highness, please listen to my advice. This is not something you can get involved in. I know that you and Your Highness, the Third Prince, are deeply in love, but... this, oh, don't worry, it's not Your Highness's fault. Your Highness is innocent. Your Majesty loves every prince and will never implicate Your Highness because of Concubine Li's mistakes."
Zhang Deli looked helpless and advised earnestly.
"What did Lady Li do wrong? Is there any chance to make amends?"
Qin Mingyun narrowed his eyes, slightly suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked at Zhang Deli with burning eyes.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, please go back." Zhang Deli turned around and no longer looked at him.
Qin Mingyun looked at Zhang Deli's back for a moment, then turned around and left angrily.
He walked for a while on his short legs, then pointed to a eunuch with long legs and fast feet to carry him on his back and return to the Suzaku Palace to find his mother.
"Mother, mother, mother!" As soon as he entered the hall, Qin Mingyun called Meng Xinghe anxiously.
Meng Xinghe was holding a panda cub and feeding it a bowl of milk when he heard Qin Mingyun's voice, which sounded a little shrill due to his haste. He was so scared that he almost knocked over the panda cub's bowl of milk.
"Why did you come back so soon? What happened?" She put the panda cub down, raised her hand to hold her frightened heart, took a deep breath, and looked up at Qin Mingyun who was struggling to get down from the eunuch's back.
"Slower!"
"Mother, my father and mother have left the palace. Zhang Deli has ordered the Moon Palace to be sealed off. My third brother and Concubine Li have been locked up."
Meng Xinghe immediately turned and looked at Huai Xu.
"Your Highness, why are you looking at me? Your Highness, you can't rely on me too much. Your Highness, please speak first. After you speak, I will tell you what I think."
"Li Xihua secretly harmed Bai Liangyu and her unborn baby. Did she come to light?"
Huai Xu shook his head.
"Even if Concubine Bai had a miscarriage or premature birth last night or this morning, or worse, even if she passed away, it is impossible for Eunuch Zhang to seal off the Moon Palace. It should not be a conspiracy to harm the concubines or the heir to the throne. Even if Concubine Li harmed Concubine Bai, she would not have been investigated so quickly."
"If Concubine Bai really had an accident, the news would have spread all over the palace. We would have received news about Nanxun Palace earlier than the news that Yueshi Palace was sealed. I'd better go and ask around!"
After hearing what the Fourth Prince said, Huai Xu felt that Zhang Deli's handling of the matter was somewhat familiar.
