In Changning Palace, Concubine Xiao Gui woke up early in the morning and planned to go to Kunning Palace in person to report to the queen that Ji Jin did not return to the palace last night, but when she took the bus to Kunning Palace, she learned something shocking. The shocking news is that the emperor fainted suddenly after taking the elixir after Qingxiu last night.It is said that his condition is critical, and all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital rushed to Xiyuan, and the emperor has not yet woken up.The queen knew the news early in the morning and had already gone to Xiyuan.

Originally, Ji Jin didn't return to the palace for dinner yesterday, Concubine Xiao was already worried, wondering if it was the empress's place to stay for dinner, so Ji Jin didn't go back.After dinner, seeing that Ji Jin hadn't come back, she ordered Shaoyao and Caiping to go to Kunning Palace to bring Ji Jin back.I didn't want the two maids to go, so I ran back and told her that both the queen and the eldest princess said they hadn't seen the little princess go to their palace.

Concubine Xiao was frightened by this, and she called Shaoyao and Caiping to her and scolded her, saying that they had come back before noon and told her that Ji Jin had gone to Kunning Palace where the eldest princess was, why did the queen say no? To see people.

Shaoyao said solemnly: "The maidservant saw the third princess enter the Kunning Palace with her own eyes and came back to report this to the empress. Caiping also knew about it at the time."

Caiping nodded again and again: "Yes, the third princess did go to Kunning Palace at that time, and the servants also saw it from a distance, but the third princess ordered the servants and Shao Yao not to follow, so the servants just waited. And Shaoyao followed The third princess saw her enter the Kunning Palace later, and when she came back, she told the servants that she was relieved when she saw the third princess went to the Queen's Palace with her own eyes..."

Hearing the two maids speak so firmly, Concubine Xiao Gui also began to suspect that what the queen said was true?But although the queen is not favored, no matter how she is the master of the harem, she will never lie.In this case, Ji Jin might have gone to another concubine's palace?

So Concubine Xiao hurriedly sent people to the palaces of the concubines to inquire and look for Ji Jinke.After a lot of fuss, the servants and maids who were looking for someone came back and reported that they had searched everywhere, even the Wan'an Palace on Zhao Guifei's side, but all the concubines said the same thing, that is, Ji Jin was not with them.

Concubine Xiao Guifei turned pale with fright after hearing the replies from the servants and maids sent out to find someone.Thinking of the recent series of events in and out of the palace, she wondered if some assassin came into the palace and kidnapped Ji Jin, otherwise why couldn't he be found in the whole palace.This matter is no small matter, we must tell the queen and the emperor as soon as possible.But, helplessly, the palace gate had already been locked at that time, even if she wanted to find someone to report the news, she had no choice.

After a whole night of torment, and finally waiting until dawn, Concubine Xiao Gui got up in a hurry, and didn't even bother to eat breakfast. She just drank a few sips of tea before ordering people to prepare her shoulders and go to Kunning Palace where the empress was.

Ji Jin disappeared in the palace for no reason. The empress must be informed of this matter first, and then the empress can make up her mind what to do.For example, tell the emperor about this matter, or let someone tell the factory supervisor Wei Yu immediately, so that she can send people to investigate the matter.

But what Concubine Xiao Gui didn't expect was that she rushed to Kunning Palace on her shoulders, not only didn't see the Queen, but also got a piece of news that was a bolt from the blue for her.After hearing this news, Concubine Xiao Gui's legs went limp, she couldn't stand steadily, she suddenly felt dizzy, her chest felt tight, and she fell backwards.Fortunately, the two maids who followed her supported her, so she didn't fall down.

"What should we do about this? Oh my god..." Xiao Guifei looked at the gloomy sky above her head, and had the illusion that the sky was falling.

The daughter disappeared, and the emperor was critically ill.Concubine Xiao Gui was furious and terrified.After being helped up, there was nothing I could do except talk about what to do.

In the end, it was Shaoyao, the maid beside her, who reminded her: "Your Majesty, it is the best policy to go to Duke Wei at this time. His Majesty the Emperor has his own imperial doctors from the imperial hospital to see the doctor, and you can't help. Everyone in the palace knows now. The news that His Majesty the Emperor is ill must be panic-stricken, and only Eunuch Wei can help you make up your mind."

Shaoyao was not the person serving Concubine Xiao at first, because she saw the little princess entering the Kunning Palace with her own eyes yesterday, so Concubine Xiao took her with her so that when the Queen asked someone to explain, Shaoyao could stand up and answer the Queen's questions talk.

At this time, Concubine Xiao Gui, who had no master, heard Shaoyao's words, so she had no choice but to grab Wei Yu's straw, even though she felt that Wei Yu might not care about the little princess' affairs, after all, the emperor's condition was more important.If something happens to the emperor, this...

"Eunuch Wei's life was saved by the third princess, it must be right to go to her." Shao Yao added.

Concubine Xiao immediately made up her mind to find Wei Yu on the pretext that the third princess had disappeared. Besides asking her to help find Ji Jin, she also asked her to look after Ji Jin if there was anything in the palace. Take care of her and Wen Quan in order to save face.

So next, Concubine Xiao Gui asked someone to lift her shoulders and went to the Supervisor of Ceremonies in person.Ordinarily, she was a noble concubine, and to see Wei Yu, all she needed was to find someone to pass on a message, and Wei Yu should go to Changning Palace to see her.But at the moment the palace is not as usual, the emperor is critically ill, Wei Yu, who is the chief inspector of ceremonies, is going to serve the emperor, and also arranges manpower to strengthen the guards in the palace, and even has some unforeseen arrangements, which can be said to be fundamental I don't have the time to see Concubine Xiao Gui, and I don't care about the disappearance of the little princess.

When she arrived in front of the Supervisor of Rituals, Concubine Xiao Gui got off her shoulders and sent someone to send a message that she had something urgent to see Wei Yu.

The servant who didn't want to pass on the word came back and told her another news that surprised her. At this moment, the eunuch Wei Yu, the eunuch with the palm seal of the chief inspector, was not in the yamen.

Concubine Xiao's people asked again: "Did Mr. Wei go to Xiyuan?"

The man said: "Yesterday, the governor left the palace to do some business, and he hasn't come back yet."

The person who sent the message had no choice but to leave a message saying that if Eunuch Wei returned to the yamen and told her that Concubine Xiao came to her because the little princess had disappeared, and asked her to send someone to help find the little princess after she came back.

Not finding Wei Yu, Concubine Xiao Gui could only sit on her shoulders and go back to Changning Palace. On the way, she suddenly thought that if there was something wrong with the emperor, then the crown prince had not been established, and who should succeed the princes.I don't know if his son Ji Wenquan knows the news that the emperor is critically ill at this moment, and at this moment he must not run around or leave the palace.

Thinking of this, she immediately sent someone to Qingning Palace where the prince lived to inform her son Ji Wenquan to come to Changning Palace as soon as possible.My daughter is gone, don't let anything happen to my son.

Unexpectedly, when she got back to Changning Palace, she got off her shoulders, and a servant had already come to tell her: "Madam, His Royal Highness King Lu is looking for you."

The king of Lu that the servant said was the second prince Ji Wenquan. Before that, the emperor made all three princes kings at once, and just waited for the concubine to come out and marry him.

Hearing that her son Ji Wenquan had come to Changning Palace, Concubine Xiao Gui's terrible mood finally got better, and she felt that she had a backbone.

Ji Wenquan also just got the news that the emperor was critically ill, so he came to Changning Palace. He also wanted to discuss countermeasures with his mother and concubine, and he reckoned that his father really had something to do. The mother, concubine and sister went to Xiyuan to meet the father and emperor together.

He came to Changning Palace in a hurry, but he didn't expect his mother and concubine to go out early in the morning, and the palace daughter also told him that the third princess disappeared last night, and it was because of this that his mother and concubine went to the empress' Kun Ning Gong reported the matter.

His younger sister disappeared in the palace for no reason, and at the same time that his father suddenly fell ill and fainted last night, this made him suspect that these two things were related.But what was the relationship, he couldn't figure it out.

"Mother, you are back." Ji Wenquan saw Concubine Xiao Gui at the gate of the main hall of Changning Palace, and hurried up to greet her.

Concubine Xiao walked in with an ugly expression, Ji Wenquan helped her to sit down on a red sandalwood armchair, and then sat down next to her.

"You all step back." Concubine Xiao Gui told the people who were serving her to disperse after a court lady brought tea, and she was far away, and she was not allowed to come here without her order.

After the people in front of her retreated, she even got up to close the door of the palace herself, and then went back to sit down and said to Ji Wenquan: "You know about your sister and your father, right?"

Ji Wenquan: "I understand. It's just that the son can't figure out whether there is any relationship between the disappearance of the sister and the illness of the father?"

"You don't even know, and Wei Niang doesn't even know. Hey, this is really a disaster from heaven, and you can't prevent it. Just now, Wei Niang came out of the Queen's Kunning Palace and went to the Supervisor of Rites to look for Eunuch Wei. I want her to help her send out her men to find your sister, and I also want to ask her to protect our mother and son for the sake of your sister's saving her life when something happens in the palace. But who I think she is not in the yamen, and the people in the ceremonial supervisor said that she was out of the palace last night on business, and she hasn't come back yet."

"Mother, let's not care about my sister's affairs, just say that father suddenly fell ill, if... you say I..."

What Ji Wenquan said was very vague, but how could Concubine Xiao Gui not understand.As a prince, naturally he couldn't say anything about the emperor's good and bad when his father was seriously ill, otherwise it would be unfilial.But this matter cannot be ignored.In fact, after learning the news that the emperor suddenly fell ill and was in a critical condition, Concubine Xiao Gui also thought about the possibility that her son Ji Wenquan would succeed the emperor.

Speaking of which, this is a rare opportunity, now that the emperor's favorite third prince, Ji Wenkai, is in Xuanfu, the emperor suddenly fell ill, and he still hasn't recovered yet.If he just passed away without any explanation, then according to the ancestor's rules, in the absence of a legitimate son, his son, as the oldest concubine prince, can logically succeed to the throne as the emperor.

This was something that was unimaginable before.Because the series of things the emperor did clearly told Concubine Xiao, mother and son, that he didn't like the second prince Wenquan and didn't want him to be the prince.

Who would have thought that things would develop to this point in the end.

Concubine Xiao Gui also said vaguely: "If this is the case, it is naturally the blessings of God and the ancestors. However, it is not certain. For the current plan, we have to be more cautious and protect ourselves. The sky is about to change... But Don't be in a hurry to die, we girls just stay here in Changning Palace, if it's really yours, it will always be yours, we can't escape..."
