Crown Prince's Counterattack

Early in the morning, a large group of people gathered outside the gate of the East Palace, as noisy as the market at the East Gate of Chang'an, completely losing the solemnity of the royal family, a bunch of people pushed Sangsang's gate, and there were arguments one after another, Sima Yi came back from the early court , What I saw was this scene, and my face sank at that time.

"What happened?"

Sima Yi watched from a distance, and cautiously sent someone to inquire about it before deciding what to do.

The little eunuch subconsciously glanced at Sima Yi, and then spoke cautiously.

"I heard that I got the Queen's order and sent people to search the East Palace."

The carelessness on Sima Yi's face dissipated in an instant, and instead a solemn expression appeared. He did not expect that Wu would attack him before him.He secretly checked in his heart whether there were any omissions in the daily life that took advantage of others. Sima Yi absolutely did not think that Wu's actions would be useless. Could it be that there is really something taboo hidden in the East Palace...

"If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhang Wei was followed by hundreds of guards. He arrived here early in the morning, and then he was stopped by this group of chattering eunuchs, who insisted on not letting him in. Because of his fear, he did not dare to force his way in, but the early court The time is almost over, and if you can't go in again, and you meet His Royal Highness, this matter will be even more difficult.

"No, you guys are simply presumptuous! This is the Eastern Palace, and it's not a place for you to trespass."

All the eunuchs spit and cursed at a group of guards, Zhang Wei, a martial artist, couldn't help but swear.

"Fork you, get out of here, brothers go together"

Time was running out, and Zhang Wei finally lost his patience, waving his hand to tell people to rush in.

When the eunuchs saw that the guards were really going to be ruthless, their faces turned pale with fright, their hands and feet trembled, and they became soft-legged shrimps. After Zhang Weixin was overjoyed, his face suddenly turned black. So much time wasted.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

The pride on Zhang Wei's face quickly froze, and the eunuchs hiding in one place on the other side seemed to have found their backbone, and began to look at Zhang Wei and the others with complacency.

The entangled two parties parted ways, waiting for Sima Yi to walk in.

"General Zhang has brought so many people to the East Palace, what can I ask for advice?"

Sima Yi saw that someone was about to rush into the East Palace, so he stood up to stop him, and at the same time sent people to search if there were really hidden objects hidden in the palace.

Zhang Wei and the lieutenant general looked at each other, screaming inwardly that something was wrong, but they were too hard to get off, and took the order of the Queen of Heaven, even if they offended the prince, they had to desperately complete it.

"Dr. Ming was harmed by others. I will search the East Palace according to the Queen's order. If there is any disturbance, please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

As the leading general, Sima Yi had to roll his name in person, so Zhang Wei had no choice but to stand up bravely.

"Bullshit!"

Hearing Sima Yi's angry reprimand, Zhang Wei's heart skipped a beat.

"This doctor Ming was clearly murdered by a thief, and the thief has long since subdued the law. Why is there something hidden in your words now? Are you searching the East Palace, are you sure that you will secretly murder officials in the court? It is simply unreasonable! "

"What's more, this East Palace is the place of the crown prince, how can people come in and out at will, and who should be responsible if something goes wrong?"

"This... the ministers are just the words of the Empress Fengtian"

The implication is that they also have to do it.

"The minister will restrain his subordinates, and he must be careful, and please make it easier for His Highness."

"It seems that General Zhang has made up his mind, but if Gu let you search for it, he would lose face, so if he wants to enter the East Palace, there is Gu here, it is absolutely impossible. General Zhang, please go back, Gu will meet you later. Plead guilty to the queen himself"

He seemed to understand that these people would not leave easily, so Sima Yi had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. There was no news about the person he sent to search, but Sima Yi's instinct told him that he must not let anyone in.

Zhang Wei looked bitter, and looked at each other with the lieutenants, really not knowing how to solve it.Sima Yi's status is noble, if there was a conflict and someone was hurt, Xiang Shang's head would definitely be lost, but Yi's decree has been issued, it is impossible for them to leave easily, the atmosphere froze for a while, and the scene began to become a little chaotic.

Sima Yi quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was temporarily intimidated, but he did not relax for too long, and things took a sudden turn for the worse.

"General, Miss Shangguan has arrived"

Zhang Wei's cloudy complexion turned clear in an instant, Shangguan Wan'er is definitely the savior of their gang of elders!

"See Your Highness!"

Shangguan Wan'er walked up to Sima Yi holding a bright yellow imperial decree.

Sima Yi's eyes were complicated, he didn't expect her to appear here today, this was the first time the two of them had this conversation as opposed to each other.

"This is His Majesty's imperial decree, Your Highness please make way."

Shangguan Wan'er sent the imperial decree in front of Sima Yi, and then waited silently.

Sima Yi took it, the content of the imperial decree was not beyond his expectation, it didn't matter who made the imperial decree, the important thing was that once the imperial decree came out, he had no reason to stop these people anymore.

"I didn't expect that you would be among the people who came today"

Sima Yi put away the imperial decree, his eyes fell on Shangguan Wan'er, and he suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Your Highness, the emperor's fate is difficult, and Wan'er also has unavoidable difficulties."

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes dodged, and she didn't even dare to meet Sima Yi's eyes.

After receiving the imperial decree, Zhang Wei and others finally led people into the East Palace to search after a long time of murmuring, but as he said, try not to damage the decorations in the East Palace.

Sima Yi and Shangguan Wan'er waited in the yard one after the other, the atmosphere was silent, there was no more conversation between the two, and Sima Yi's thoughts followed the direction of the guard's search.

Just when the search was about to end and Sima Yixin was about to let go, an accident happened...

"General, here..."

A guard accidentally discovered a secret passage, and Sima Yi's face turned ugly for a moment, because he never knew the location of the secret passage, which means...

"General, there are a lot of weapons and armor here!!!"

The scene completely froze for a while, everyone looked at Sima Yi involuntarily, Sima Yi's face was calm, neither panic nor worry could be seen.

But the faces of the court ladies and eunuchs who were paying attention on the side all changed. You must know that this incident is a private possession of weapons at a small scale, but at a serious scale it is an intention to treason. If these things come out, the servants who serve them will naturally be implicated. Some people are already pale, and they can't even stand firm.

Sima Yi didn't look very moved, but his heart was already overwhelmed, a deep sense of frustration lingered in his heart, he knew that he must have fallen into someone else's trap, but the most important thing was who betrayed him? All clueless.

He hadn't had time to unite with the ministers to attack Wu, but Wu's preemptive attack had already caused him to collapse, and there was no room for maneuver. Sima Yi knew that he had lost this time.He thought that he still had time to make arrangements calmly, and that Li Zhi could still restrain the Wu family, but he really underestimated the Wu family, this time he won't be wronged...

"Your Highness, please come with us."

No one knew the huge waves of Zhang Wei's heart when he saw those hundreds of armors. This matter involved the prince, and he was deeply involved. He didn't expect that there would be such things in the East Palace. No wonder the Queen of Heaven... Heck, I dare not think about it any more.

Seeing that Sima Yi still looked calm, Zhang Wei couldn't help admiring His Royal Highness's calm courage. What's more, the matter had not yet been decided, so he could only remain respectful as always.

"Your Highness—"

Shangguan Wan'er's nervous gaze followed Sima Yi all the time, her face full of worry.

And Sima Yi only gave her a meaningful look when he passed by her.

In less than half a day, the news about the prince's rebellion spread throughout Chang'an City, causing an uproar.The courtiers went around privately to inquire about the news, and the situation suddenly became extremely serious. You must know that the prince was the one who had the accident.But anyone with some sense can see that something is wrong. Now that the prince's health is getting worse and worse, the prince only needs to wait a few more days before he can ascend to that position. Why do such rebellious things? It's tricky... Everyone has their eyes on the same person, some are sad and some are happy.

In Ganlu Hall, it was the first time in many years that the emperor and empress had such a fierce frontal conflict.

Li Zhi was weak and needed the support of others to sit up, but at this moment he pointed at Wu Meiniang with an unexpectedly moderate tone.

"You poisonous woman, what did you do to the prince?!"

Li Zhi's chest was rising and falling, his face was flushed and angry, and the fingertips pointing at Wu Meiniang trembled slightly, obviously extremely agitated.

"Your Majesty, why did you say that? What can the concubine do? It's the crown prince's plan to do something wrong. What the concubine is doing is killing relatives righteously!"

Wu Shi showed a hurt expression, but in fact, there was imperceptible indifference in her eyes.

She also didn't want to do everything wrong, but when she knew that the son she raised with one hand was going to join forces with outsiders to deal with her, so the deep love between mother and child became a joke, and everything she did now was to protect herself That's all, it's all her years of painstaking efforts, and even this road is a bloody road paved with thorns.Therefore, even if it is his own son, he is not qualified to ruin everything about her, so if you want to blame, you can blame this life for being such a heartless reality...

Wu Meiniang lowered her head, and the mist gushing out of her eyes was quietly wiped away by her, and disappeared without a trace without anyone noticing.
