Chapter 447 Two Bad News
Gu Congyun stood up with a smile and bowed to Empress Dowager Naruhito.
"On behalf of all the sisters, I would like to thank the Queen Mother for her care."
"So many people in the palace are pregnant. You should also work harder and give birth to a boy or girl for the emperor as soon as possible so that you can have someone to rely on in the future."
"Yes."
Gu Congyun had a shy look on her face and looked very innocent, but how could there be innocent people in the deep palace? She had already seen through everything.
The reason why Empress Dowager Naruhito cares about her so much is not because she really doesn't care about her, but because she wants her to restrain Ye Yanran in the harem and doesn't want her to have the final say.
Only in this way can the power of the harem remain in the hands of Empress Dowager Naruhito.
As the two were talking, someone outside the door suddenly announced that a housekeeper came in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, there was news from Jinxiu Palace just now that Concubine Yu suddenly had a miscarriage."
"How is this possible? The Imperial Hospital checks the pulse of pregnant concubines every day. She was fine yesterday, but how could she have a miscarriage today?"
"The Imperial Hospital said that Concubine Yu ate too much cold food, which caused her miscarriage. I have asked someone to check Concubine Yu's recent meals, but they didn't find any cold food."
As soon as these words were spoken, Empress Dowager Naruhito immediately guessed that this matter might not be simple.
The chefs in the palace's imperial kitchen are all very experienced. It is impossible for them to feed Concubine Yu with cold food when they knew she was pregnant.
Thinking about the fact that Ye Yanran had often targeted pregnant women in the Prince's Mansion in the past, Empress Dowager Naruhito immediately suspected her.
However, before Empress Dowager Naruhito could make a move, another young eunuch hurried over.
"Empress Dowager, something terrible has happened. The army just sent a secret report over 30 miles away, saying that Prince Zheng is leading an army of soldiers towards the capital."
"King Zheng?"
Queen Dowager Naruhito was extremely surprised. She had known for a long time that Prince Zheng was dissatisfied with Xiao Yi's ascension to the throne, and she would deal with him at the latest. Unexpectedly, Prince Zheng quickly launched a rebellion before she even took action.
"Why are you still standing there? Prince Zheng is raising an army to rebel. First, capture the prince of Zheng and bring him to me."
The furious Empress Dowager Naruhito stood up suddenly.
"Empress Yun, I order you to thoroughly investigate the matter of Concubine Yu's miscarriage."
"Yes."
At this moment, Queen Dowager Naruhito's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. She always felt that if Concubine Yu had not had her miscarriage, there would definitely not have been any rebellion by Prince Zheng.
Don't let her find out which jinx caused the trouble, otherwise she will definitely cut that person into pieces to vent her anger.
Empress Dowager Naruhito was very superstitious when she was still Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. After Xiao Yi ascended the throne, she issued a general amnesty to accumulate blessings for herself and Xiao Yi.
As a result, only a few months after Xiao Yi ascended the throne, someone died in the palace. How could she not be angry?
With such a big thing happening, Empress Dowager Naruhito naturally did not dare to delay and hurried to the imperial study.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the imperial study, I saw two beauties being hurriedly escorted out from the east warm pavilion.
Their cheeks were slightly red, and after seeing Empress Dowager Naruhito, they were obviously frightened and trembled, and hurried forward to pay their respects.
Just by looking at their appearance, Empress Dowager Naruhito knew that they must have done nothing good in the Imperial Study.
Empress Dowager Naruhito, who was already somewhat upset, felt even more unhappy.
"I hate to see you vixens pestering the Emperor all day and interrupting his government affairs."
"Someone, kick these two out of the palace. Aren't they the best at seducing men? Then send them to the cheapest brothel and let them enjoy themselves."
When the two beauties heard what Empress Dowager Naruhito said, their legs went weak and they fell to their knees on the ground.
Just as they were about to beg for mercy, the matron in charge immediately came forward, covered their mouths and quickly pulled the people away.
Xiao Yi in the imperial study had heard the noise a long time ago, but he did not plead for his two beauties.
Anyway, the thing that the harem has the most is beauties, so he is willing to let two of them die to let Empress Dowager Naruhito vent her anger.
"Mother, you are finally here. This is a secret letter sent over eight hundred miles in expedited delivery."
As soon as Empress Dowager Naruhito entered the imperial study, Xiao Yi showed her the secret letter without mentioning anything about the two beauties.
"Prince Zheng is so courageous. He only has 30 men and yet he dares to go against the emperor. I think he is tired of living."
"Mother, should we immediately ask General Ding to mobilize the soldiers from the Southern Camp to stop Prince Zheng?"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that we don't have the tiger talisman? General Ding will not obey our orders. By the time we try to get General Ding to send troops, it is estimated that King Zheng will have already arrived in the capital."
"I am the emperor. Even without the tiger talisman, General Ding must obey my orders. If he dares not to obey, the general of the Southern Camp can be replaced by someone else."
Looking at Xiao Yi's self-righteous look, Empress Dowager Naruhito didn't know what to say.
I don’t know how much straw is in Xiao Yi’s head that he actually has such naive ideas.
"If the emperor wants to command the three armies without the tiger symbol, he must have the ability to command the three armies."
"The emperor has just ascended the throne, and most people do not submit to him. General Ding will naturally not easily obey the emperor's orders without the tiger talisman."
When Xiao Yi heard that he could not mobilize the soldiers of the South Camp, he panicked. He thought that he could command the world after becoming the emperor, but he didn't expect that it would not be what he thought.
"Mother, what should we do now? We can't just watch Prince Zheng lead an army of 30 to attack the capital."
"Although the Queen Mother cannot mobilize the soldiers of the Southern Camp, the garrisons in other places can still be mobilized."
As she spoke, Empress Dowager Naruhito took out a map and pointed at Qushui City with her gorgeous nail polish.
"I will have General Song and General Yang each lead an army of 20 to block the King of Zheng in Qushui City, so that he cannot get close to the capital."
"Mother, you don't have the tiger talisman either. Can you ask these two generals to send troops to stop King Zheng?"
"nature."
Empress Dowager Naruhito answered very swiftly, but Xiao Yi felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
It's really ridiculous that as an emperor he couldn't make generals from all over the country obey his orders.
After getting rid of King Zheng, he must find a way to take control of all the power that belongs to him, and no one can take even a little bit of it.
As the two were talking, an eunuch came to report that the eunuch who went to fetch the Prince of Zheng had returned empty-handed, and the Prince of Zheng, Xiao Fei, was not in the mansion.
"It seems that Xiao Fei has received the news a long time ago. Someone, go and search for me. Search the entire capital city and find Xiao Fei for me."
"Yes."
When Xiao Yi heard that Xiao Fei had run away, he cursed for a long time. However, Empress Dowager Deren felt a little uneasy. It seemed that Prince Zheng's rebellion was premeditated, and perhaps he had already planned it when Emperor Jing was alive.
Two days passed in a flash, and before Empress Dowager Naruhito's troops started the war with Prince Zheng, she soon received another explosive news.
There was a sudden movement in the west. A small group of forces appeared and disappeared mysteriously. They did not enter the big cities. As soon as the first trace of them was found, they quickly disappeared.
"What does the emperor think about this matter?"
