Chapter 503： Favorite son

Xiao Zhao said, "Girl, what are we going to do now? I just inquired with the servant in the mansion, and it was really messed up outside. Many of the ladies and ladies of officials and noble families were arrested in the palace."

Ming Xuan frowned.

It has been messed up to this point.

There is no room for relaxation.

"What I am most worried about right now is the mother and son of the cousin in the Hou Mansion and the palace." She said as she walked, "You don't know, I was about to quarrel with the prince on the spot just now. Fortunately, I held back."

"The girl is doing the right thing. If there is a disturbance, the prince will be alert and it will be inconvenient to do what we want to do. The prince will definitely send someone to stare at us." Xiao Zhao said.

Ming Xuan glanced at her with a rare smile: "You are clever."

"The slave maid also came from the Hou Mansion, so you can't lose face to the Hou Mansion." Xiao Zhao said, "Girl, don't worry, the slave maid can go to help you inquire."

"Don't ask around, this mansion is the prince's person after all. He will notice." Ming Xuan said, "I have my own ideas, don't worry."

Although she wants to be a little bit impatient, she is very anxious.

This kind of thing can't wait.

Ming Xuan doesn't care where Zhao Yuanqi usually rests.

But in the evening, she took the initiative to cook table dishes and asked Zhao Yuanqi to come over for dinner.

Zhao Yuanqi did not come.

He went into the palace.

Ming Xuan thought for a while, went straight to his study, rummaged through the study for documents and other things, to see if she could find out something.

The palace at this time was tense.

King Cheng put the emperor under house arrest, and the emperor stayed in the palace and couldn't leave for half a step. There was only one concubine Liu Guifei beside him.

Concubine Liu Gui looked calm, but her panic eyes showed her fear, anxiety and panic.

After the initial shock and anger, the emperor has gradually calmed down.

It's just that my heart is full of sadness and powerlessness.

He sat on the side of the bed and sighed: "I have lived my entire life, and I have never been ashamed of the world. I have never killed my brother. Why did I end up like this?"

Concubine Liu Gui had tears in her eyes: "Emperor, don't be too sad, those rebels... They must not succeed. Besides, there are many courtiers who are loyal to the emperor."

The emperor raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, his expression languishing.

At this time, there was a heavy footstep outside the palace, and someone pushed open the door.

Concubine Liu Gui hurriedly hid beside the emperor like a frightened bird.

The emperor raised his head slightly and looked at the person coming.

It was not the Cheng Wang he imagined, but his third son, Lu Wang Zhao Yuanqi.

The emperor had been imprisoned, and he didn't know that his third son was an accomplice of King Cheng.

He stood up happily and walked towards Zhao Yuanqi: "Lao San, how did you come in, how are you?"

Zhao Yuanqi maintained his former respect, saluted, and said, "My son and minister are still well. My father recently... has worked hard."

The emperor grabbed his hand and asked hurriedly: "Why, the rebel of King Cheng, is willing to let you in? What is going on outside? The queen mother and the prince are all..."

"At this time, the emperor father still misses the prince so much." Zhao Yuanqi smiled sarcastically. "Sure enough, in the heart of the emperor, only the prince is your favorite son."

The emperor felt that there was something wrong with his expression, so he frowned and said, "Yuan Qi, what are you talking about? You are all my sons, and I care about you all the same."

"What if Erchen told you that the prince is dead?" Zhao Yuanqi said.
