Princess Medical Doctor-Chapter 884: Mutiny, taking over Hanfang Palace
Chapter 884: Mutiny, taking over Hanfang Palace
The Empress's people were divided into two groups, one was to discuss cooperation with Imperial Concubine Zhou, while the other was to persuade the eldest prince to come forward. Because of what Xiao Zian said, Imperial Concubine Zhou pretended to be reserved but then agreed. On the other hand, the eldest prince was not so easy to talk to.
"If you want me to come forward, you can set down my fief first, and… the imperial decree must be given to me first." Again, no one in this world was a complete idiot. The empress couldn't deceive the white wolf with empty hands.
"The fief can be determined, but the imperial decree is not yet available. The jade seal is not in the hands of the Empress." Without a seal, the imperial decree was just a piece of waste paper.
"Without an imperial decree, how can I trust your sincerity?" The Empress was too naive to want him to stand out with just empty words without showing anything.
The visitor was silent for a moment, and said, "The Empress can give you the edict first."
"The Empress cannot decide the affairs of the court, do you think Imperial Uncle Xiao will admit this decree?" If he has another way, the First Prince will never talk to the Empress's people. He has already suffered a loss at the hands of the Empress.
"This is the sincerity of the Empress. After the matter is completed, the Empress and the Zhou Family will push you to return to the fief. If the Empress and the Zhou Family come forward, what do you still have to worry about, your highness?" Although there was nothing in his hand, the Empress's people still has a confident look.
Prince Xiao made it clear that he would not let the Eldest Prince lead his troops back to the fief. The Eldest Prince can only rely on them to achieve what he wants. The Eldest Prince was not their only candidate, but they were the only ones who can help him.
"The risk is too great. You are just promoting it. You can't guarantee that things will succeed." They wanted him to face Xiao Tianyao, it can be seen this business was money-losing no matter how he look at it.
"It's the Empress's promise, can't you believe it, your highness?" The visitor said in a leisurely manner. Seeing that the eldest prince was unmoved, he added another sentence: "The Empress will prepare manpower for the prince. As long as the prince comes forward, it will be fine. Whatever happens, the Empress will stand by your side."
If the eldest prince wants to come forward, and if the eldest prince wants to help, the eldest prince will not agree, but if there is someone from the empress, the eldest prince will probably be willing.
There was someone from the Empress's group, and when Prince Xiao clean them up, the Empress will not be able to escape.
The Eldest Prince agreed after a little thought: "Okay, I can help your Empress to come forward, but I still have one condition."
"Please tell me, Your Highness?" The visitor secretly breathed a sigh of relief but did not reveal it on his face.
"Before I accept the Empress's order, I want to see Imperial Concubine Zhou first. I want the promise from the Imperial Concubine." He won't believe it.
As for the Empress's edict?
Although it was useless, but with the Empress's intention to help, he can clean up the Empress if things fail, saying that the Empress was interfering in government affairs.
"Alright!" At this point, the visitor can guarantee: "If your Highness has no other requirements, how about we enter the palace now?" It was better to enter the palace at this time, after all, who knows if Prince Xiao will leave.
"Good!"
The deal was concluded, and the eldest prince did not hesitate, and immediately entered the palace with the Empress's people. After confirming that Prince Xiao was still in the Hanfang Palace, the eldest prince sent someone to report to the Empress, and went directly to see Imperial Concubine Zhou. When he received a promise from Imperial Concubine Zhou, only then did the eldest prince lose his scruples and walked towards Hanfang Hall with the people arranged by the Empress.
At this time, Xiao Tianyao had been in Hanfang Hall for three and a half hours. The Empress and Imperial Concubine Zhou became more and more sure that there must be something in Hanfang Hall, otherwise, Xiao Tianyao would not stay there for most of the day.
Although the First Prince suspects that this was a trap set by Xiao Tianyao, like the Empress and Imperial Concubine Zhou, he has the idea of not being afraid of 10,000 but just in case, thinking that it was non-committal to try it out.
What if, what if this was not a trap, what if there was something important in Hanfang Palace?
If they miss this time, they will regret it forever!
The Eldest Prince quickly brought people outside Hanfang Hall, unlike Imperial Concubine Zhou who was messing around, the Eldest Prince was very courteous and waited outside. Then he just asked someone to go in to report that he had something important to see Prince Xiao.
"Go, bring people in." Xiao Tianyao sat reading in the side hall of Hanfang Hall and said without raising his head when he heard the guards coming to report.
Not long after, the Eldest Prince came in with the guards, and along the way, although the Eldest Prince did not look sideways, he scanned every corner and found that although the Hanfang Hall was dilapidated, it was exceptionally clean and tidy.
"This nephew pays respects to Imperial Uncle, may you live a thousand more years." The eldest prince entered the palace, bowing his hands to salute Prince Xiao.
"Sit." Xiao Tianyao still didn't look up, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't pay attention to the Eldest Prince at all.
The Eldest Prince has long been used to it, and he didn't feel neglected, so he sat down honestly under Xiao Tianyao's hands: "Imperial Uncle, the empress heard that you stayed in Hanfang Palace for nearly four hours, so she asked this nephew to inquire, is there anything I can do to help?"
The Empress was insidious and wanted him to bear Xiao Tianyao's anger. Although he agreed, it didn't mean that he would carry it alone, as long as he found out the news.
"What can you help us to not add trouble to benwang." Xiao Tianyao was not polite at all, and the corner of his eye glanced at the hourglass placed on the side of the hall. Seeing that there was not much left in the hourglass, the chill in his eyes deepened.
The eldest prince came at a very inopportune time!
The Eldest Prince's face remained unchanged, and he continued: "Imperial Uncle, this is the Hanfang Palace, and all the concubines who have committed crimes live here. Imperial Uncle, you stay in Hanfang Palace for four hours, so the Empress is worried about you."
"Why is she worried about me? Does the Empress think that those women can hurt me?" Of course, Xiao Tianyao knew what the eldest prince meant, but what did that have to do with him?
"Imperial Uncle, this is the harem, and all the women living here are father's women, so you can't stay in here." The eldest prince simply tore up the words: "No matter what happens in the harem, it should be handled by the Empress."
"So?" Xiao Tianyao put down his hands, and looked at the eldest prince leisurely, looking very interested.
However, the Eldest Prince felt the pressure was great. Under Xiao Tianyao's watchful eyes, the Eldest Prince straightened his back involuntarily, stood up, and said: "Imperial Uncle, this nephew is taking over the affairs of Hanfang Palace under the order of the Empress. Imperial Uncle, please cooperate."
"Want to drive benwang away?" Xiao Tianyao snorted coldly. The Eldest Prince shook his head again and again: "Imperial Uncle's words are serious. This nephew didn't mean that it's just… Imperial Uncle, you should not interfere with the matter of Hanfang Palace."
"What if benwang insists on meddling?" Xiao Tianyao raised his head and glanced at the Eldest Prince.
The Eldest Prince was suffocated, and then he said: "Imperial Uncle, this is a matter of the harem. If Imperial Uncle insists on intervening, this nephew will have no choice but to be polite."
If he wants the Empress and Imperial Concubine Zhou to help him out, he can't just make peace with the other party, otherwise, the Empress and Imperial Concubine Zhou will never lend a helping hand to his affairs.
"You will not be polite? I want to see, Ziwen, how you will be impolite." Xiao Tianyao said without changing his face.
"Imperial Uncle, then this nephew will offend you." The Eldest Prince suppressed his uneasiness, gritted his teeth, and said: "Come…"
But as soon as he uttered a word, he was interrupted by a hurried female voice: "Xiao Tianyao, Xiao Tianyao…something happened! Come here quickly, I need your help!"
