Chapter 505 Ai's Family Doesn't Go Anywhere

There are three women in one play, but if there are thirty women, then there are more than ten plays.

It would be hell if there were thirty panicked women.

Zhao Yuanjing squatted on the roof of Ci'an Palace, almost being overturned by the crying and howling inside.

Except for the queen mother who can stay alone in the bedroom, the rest of the concubines, including Jin Yao and Guo Ning, were locked in a room.

Roughly speaking, there were forty or fifty women.

Of course the emperor had more than this number of women, but King Cheng was not interested in arresting all the women, only those with higher status.

Zhao Yuanjing lifted a piece of tile and scanned around, among a group of crying women, he saw Princess Yufu, but not Princess Yuanzheng.

Yuan Ji is the younger sister of King Lu, so naturally King Lu would not arrest her.

It's just that Yufu was sitting alone in the corner, her thin body shrinking, looking very lonely and pitiful.

Zhao Yuanjing felt that someone was missing.

After thinking about it, he remembered.

Two women, Zhou Yizhi and Gu Yunxiang, were missing.

They have been the emperor's favorite concubines for the past year, not to mention that Gu Yunxiang is still pregnant, it stands to reason that King Cheng would not miss them.

Maybe they, like Yun Dai, saw that the situation was not good and ran away early?

After Zhao Yuanjing finished reading, he closed the tiles and went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

The Empress Dowager sat on the edge of the bed, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hands, closed her eyes, and muttered.

Zhou Yizhi was also here, sitting beside the queen mother, her expression tense.

There were many soldiers surrounding Ci'an Palace, but there were not many people inside.

The bedroom is also quiet, only an old lady is there.

Although King Cheng said he was rebellious, he was still respectful to the Queen Mother and did not treat her in the least.

Zhao Yuanjing jumped in from the window.

"Who is it?" Zhou Yizhi jumped up alertly, holding a golden hairpin tightly in his hand, aiming at Zhao Yuanjing.

"It's me." Zhao Yuanjing stepped out from the shadows, revealing his face.

Zhou Yizhi was stunned: "His Royal Highness?"

When the Queen Mother heard the words, she opened her eyes suddenly, saw Zhao Yuanjing's face clearly, stood up excitedly, "Yuanjing, are you alright?"

"Grandson is late." Zhao Yuanjing walked in front of her, knelt down and saluted, "It surprised the emperor's grandmother."

The queen mother stepped forward to help him up, tears fell down: "Yuanjing, you are still alive, that's great, that's great..."

Zhao Yuanjing raised her eyebrows: "Why does the imperial grandmother think that her grandson is dead?"

"It was the word from King Cheng, saying that you are gone, and forced Ai's family to persuade the emperor to hand over the jade seal and the imperial edict." The queen mother happily pulled him, "It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine."

Zhao Yuanjing helped her to sit down and said, "Don't worry, grandma, my grandson will definitely quell this rebellion and prevent King Cheng and King Lu from succeeding."

"Why, Yuan Qi also participated?"

"Yes." Zhao Yuanjing said, "Grandma, right now the palace is full of King Cheng's people, it's too dangerous for you to be here. I'll send you out of the palace first."

"The Ai family doesn't go anywhere." The queen mother shook her head, "The Ai family is so old and has lived in the palace all their lives. The former emperor asked the Ai family to guard this place, so the Ai family will not go anywhere."

Zhao Yuanjing said: "But King Cheng will use you to blackmail Father. In case Father really handed over the imperial edict..."

"The Ai family understands your father's temperament. He won't do it." The queen mother smiled slightly, "He is different from you. Yuan Jing, the Ai family is here, and our Zhao family is here. If even the Ai family If we escape, our Zhao family will be exhausted. The Ai family is waiting for King Cheng to come, for fear that he will not dare to come in front of the Ai family!"

Good night.
