Chapter 638: The King of Loulan is on a diplomatic mission to Zhou and Song
"Recently, I and a few other servants have wanted to live in the house with the princess and the eldest princess."
The Queen and the Queen Mother nodded when they heard this.
The Crown Princess beside her quickly said gently: "In that case, then you can help serve the Princess and the Grand Princess here."
"As for the other children in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, let them live in the East Palace together, play with Wenle, and wait for their mother to come home."
"Okay, I'll go back and inform you right away."
Feicui wiped away her tears and immediately got in the carriage and hurried back to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to inform the other children.
Seeing them leave in a hurry, the Crown Princess hesitated to speak, turned her head to look at Jiang Zhao, and said to him: "Old Nine, although I am your sister-in-law, there are some things I can't tell you. Let the Crown Prince tell you later."
Jiang Zhao nodded, so they didn't stay here for long and turned to go to another guest room in Huguo Temple.
The other guest room in Huguo Temple is much more luxurious than the small bamboo house.
The guest rooms in this Huguo Temple were specially prepared by the master for the royal family to stay in.
This guest room is fully equipped with everything you need, and it costs one or two taels of silver to rent it for a day.
"In the near future, if the Empress Dowager and the Queen want to live in the Huguo Temple, they can stay in the nearby guest rooms."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother and the Empress nodded and said with a smile: "Just stay for three days."
Neither of them could leave at this moment. After all, Princess Chang'an had become like this. How could the two of them leave?
The Queen Mother rubbed her head and said to Li Niang, "Li Niang, go back and tell His Majesty and the Crown Prince to let the Emperor stay in the palace and ask the Crown Prince... to come quickly."
"Yes."
Li Niang immediately bowed and hurried back to the palace to inform the emperor and the prince.
......
The emperor and the crown prince were discussing matters in the imperial study at this moment.
Several officials were standing respectfully nearby, and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the King of Loulan has sent someone to say that he wants to be an envoy to Zhou and Song. I don't know why...but the letter has been delivered."
The emperor nodded, then waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Since the King of Loulan is going to visit Zhou and Song, he must want to borrow some soldiers from us. After all, the King of Loulan has just returned to Loulan, and it is a time when everything is in ruins. The infrastructure in all aspects is not very good. It is understandable that they want to come back to our Zhou and Song craftsmen and civil officials to learn some related technologies."
"You can ask the King of Loulan to come here quickly later."
Hearing this, the ministers below did not think much about it, nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
The crown prince said to the emperor, "Father, the King of Loulan sent a letter to me and the crown princess a while ago, saying that he would come here on a diplomatic mission and come back to see us and the queen mother."
"He has governed Loulan for half a year, and he has done a good job..."
Just as he was saying this, Li Haitang came in hurriedly from outside. After paying his respects to the emperor, the crown prince, and the adults around him, he hurriedly said to everyone, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Li Niang requests an audience."
"Li Niang? Why is she here? What happened?"
The emperor and the prince looked at each other. They thought of the queen mother and asked quickly, "Could it be that something happened to the queen mother?"
"Isn't the Queen Mother in her own palace now?"
"The Queen Mother is not in her own palace."
Li Haitang stammered, not knowing how to tell the emperor and the prince for a moment. She couldn't tell the emperor and the prince the truth that Princess Chang'an was already dizzy at the moment.
Li Haitang quickly knelt on the ground and said to the Emperor and the Crown Prince, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is praying in the Huguo Temple right now."
"Why did you go to Huguo Temple? How come I don't know about this?"
The emperor frowned, feeling a little strange.
He looked at Li Haitang's anxious expression, nodded and said, "Go, invite Li Niang in. Maybe she has something important to report."
Li Haitang was delighted and hurried out to invite Li Niang in.
At this moment, the other ministers were invited by the prince to a side hall to discuss important matters.
When the emperor saw Li Niang coming in, he also smiled and said, "What is it that my mother wants you to return to the palace for?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Niang nodded quickly and said to the emperor anxiously, "Oh no, Your Majesty, the Grand Princess Chang'an has fainted!"
"What? Princess Chang'an fainted?"
When the emperor heard this, he immediately stood up and screamed, "What on earth is going on?"
Li Niang quickly told the emperor everything that had happened in the Huguo Temple.
When the emperor heard the end, his face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "I didn't expect that Zhao Qiuqiu was so vicious. She even wanted to threaten the lives of Princess Chang'an, Jiang Zhao, and Chen Zhining to demand the position of co-wife!"
"Isn't she trampling on the face of our royal family? You have to know that she is the concubine of the second son. If the concubine of the second son is allowed to marry the ninth son, how will the reputation of the ninth son be preserved? How will the reputation of the second son be preserved? How will the face and dignity of the royal family be preserved? As the crown prince, how will the face of the crown prince be preserved if he fails to teach his younger brother well?!"
"She destroyed the entire royal family with one move!"
The emperor just felt a little tired at this moment, because the children that the princes' wives had carried before were not those of these princes.
At that time, the emperor felt that it was shameful enough.
Fortunately, that matter was kept secret, but now this matter...cannot be kept secret anymore.
Li Niang knelt on the ground and said to the emperor with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, what you said is indeed reasonable, but if we do not agree to Zhao Qiuqiu's words, I am afraid that the lives of Princess Chang'an, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, and His Majesty the Ninth Prince's Consort will be in danger!"
Hearing this, the emperor was furious and said, "Are we, the entire royal family, going to be threatened by a Zhao Qiuqiu?!"
"I just don't believe that such a small poison can't be cured."
"Come here, immediately gather all the doctors and herbs that can cure the poison and bring them to the palace for me!"
Li Haitang below hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
At this time, Li Niang quickly grabbed Li Haitang and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, let's be patient about this matter and we can't do this."
