Chapter 60
After the post-closure ceremony, Jiang Yuzheng learned that her sister was already pregnant with a dragon seed in her belly, and at that time, her sister's eyes couldn't stop doting and delight, as if nothing in this world could make her so happy, and she was also infected with the heartfelt maternal joy.
The two sisters hadn't gossiped like this for a long time, and the elder sister asked her with a gentle smile if she had a crush. Jiang Yuzheng's face and mood darkened at that moment.
Empress Jing didn't notice this.
In her eyes, Jiang Yuzheng is like the most dazzling sun on the ice and snow, reflecting a light that makes people unable to take their eyes off. Her sister has grown into a beautiful and moving girl, and she should find a suitable husband for her.
Jiang Yuzheng smiled reluctantly, replied casually, and only said that he was still young and wanted to take care of his father for his sister. Empress Jing just smiled and went with her sister's temperament. My sister is assertive, and she shouldn't worry too much.
After returning home that day, Jiang Yuzheng cried all night. Tears soaked the pillow towel, as cool as the dew of the night.
The sister who loves her already has her own happiness, but the happiness she pursues belongs to others. She was unwilling, she couldn't bear this breath, she wanted revenge.
At that time, as soon as the ceremony after the first lunar month was closed, the news that the queen was happy with the dragon seed was announced to the world. Who knows, at this moment, the heavens will send a great calamity. This month, there was a famine in the territory of the Dayue Dynasty, and there was a great drought in many places, and the people were struggling to make a living, and the people were full of complaints. The government and the opposition were in chaos, and everyone didn't know what to do.
The people of the country have always been superstitious about ghosts and gods, and I don't know when the saying "disaster stars from the sky" began to spread everywhere. As for who the "evil star" is, no one can say clearly.
A month later, an unknown astrologer came to the palace and said that when he was watching the stars on a certain day and night in the first lunar month, the seven stars in the sky appeared together, which was the image of the emperor's chariot, and only the polar star in the north of the seven stars was hidden. This is an auspicious and fierce image, which means that the sky will descend on the stars and cause disaster to the palace. At that time, many people in the court heard about it, and they only watched how the emperor dealt with it.
Someone thought about it, what this person meant was that the son of Empress Jing's womb was a "disaster star", and the emperor loved him very much, how could he believe this person's words. Sure enough, on the second day, Qin Tianjian wrote that this person's statement was pure falsehood, and he immediately expelled the person from the palace, and since then this person has disappeared and never appeared again.
It is better to believe in what is there than to believe in what is not. Although they didn't dare to say anything, everyone had quite a lot of objections to the son of Queen Jing's womb.
Empress Jing knew about this and was worried, and at that time, she assisted the emperor in handling various state affairs, and was worried about the famine. It didn't take long for the body to gradually weaken.
When the spring was cold, the queen went to the garden to relax accompanied by Concubine Yi, but an assassin suddenly appeared. Although Empress Jing was not injured, she was poisoned by a strange poison, and the imperial physician in the palace was helpless against it. The queen is in good health, and the poison is intended to cause the queen to miscarry. The doctors did their best and barely used medicine to save the fetus for a while. However, the medicine has side effects, and if the poison does not solve, both mother and child will be in danger after a month. The queen loves her son more than her own life, and she wants to keep the child with all her might. After this incident, he was frightened and contracted a cold, and he couldn't afford to get sick.
The emperor was worried, and often took time out of his busy schedule to accompany Empress Jing, which delayed a lot of state affairs. Empress Jing was knowledgeable and reasonable, and she lay on the sickbed and persuaded the emperor to take state affairs as the priority, and not to favor one person. There are still 3,000 beauties in the palace, and you should not be the only one who has benefited from the emperor's grace. The emperor should focus on the overall situation.
Empress Jing's intimacy moved the emperor, and he was even more angry about the assassination of the empress. The emperor ordered to find the best medicine to ensure the safety of the queen's mother and son, and at the same time made every effort to track down the murderer. In order to make the queen recuperate with peace of mind, the emperor specially arranged for the Jiang family to come to the palace to accompany the queen.
After receiving the holy decree, Jiang Yuzheng hurried to visit her sister in the palace, and she was very anxious. Jiang Rongyun was also very anxious, worried about the life of his daughter and grandson, and also worried about the status that the Jiang family had finally improved. For this reason, the head of the Jiang family looked around for a miracle doctor who could heal the queen's mother and son.
Yu Zheng saw her pale and thin sister in the Qihuang Palace, and she was so sad that she almost cried. For this reason, she worked tirelessly, begging God to worship Buddha everywhere, hoping that God would have eyes and bless her sister, mother and son with safety.
One day, she went to a remote and inconspicuous temple outside Beijing to pray for her sister's blessing. This time, the heavens seemed to hear her prayers and let her get a way to save the queen's mother and son.
On that day, Tiangong deliberately did not make it beautiful, and it poured rain when she wanted to leave. Of course, it should be considered God's ulterior motives. Jiang Yuzheng met a man who claimed to be the world's number one astrologer here.
If it was usual, Jiang Yuzheng would definitely not believe him. However, everything came so strangely that day, she heard from others that there was a god in this remote temple, and the people who prayed for it were sincere and responsive. When she was disappointed and wanted to leave, the heavy rain stopped her, and then suddenly a handsome man in white clothes and fluttering clothes appeared in the empty temple. He claimed to be the astrologer who asserted that the Queen's son was a "scourge star" that day, and he knew how to dispel the poison on the Queen's body.
Jiang Yuzheng was overjoyed and sought to solve it at the moment. The man said that the emperor and queen will suffer a catastrophe in life, and how to resolve it is still up to the destiny of heaven. The emperor is a star of calamity, the destiny of heaven, and mortals in the world cannot violate it.
In the past, he had a divine jade, which could protect the heart and detoxify all kinds of poisons. Later, the king of the sun led his troops to defeat Prince Youguang, and the arrow wounded his heart in the battlefield and he was about to die. At that time, he predicted that the victory of the emperor was the destiny of heaven, and the commander of the emperor, the king of the sun, was indispensable, so he gave the god jade to the king of the sun.
Now, if you want to save the emperor, you must borrow jade. The emperor and queen Dai Yu are in September, and the lives of both mother and son can be saved.
However, the man solemnly told the jade zheng: Remember, the king of the sun does not have a heart protection jade, and martial arts cannot be used, otherwise the blood will flow backwards, and the breath will leak out, which can lead to death. After the birth of the emperor, the divine jade must be returned quickly.
Jiang Yuzheng knelt on the ground to thank him, crying silently. When he looked up, the man was gone. After returning home, Yuzheng hurriedly entered the palace with his father and told the queen about today's adventure. However, I don't know if it was out of selfishness, she omitted the man's last advice.
Jiang Rongyun, as the current patriarch of the Jiang family, puts the interests of the family first. If the queen gives birth to a dragon son, then this will firmly consolidate the position of the Jiang clan, and as the ruler of the country, she will also have greater power.
For Queen Jing, the child is the crystallization of her and her beloved, her blood and bones, and her most cherished treasure. So, she immediately agreed to her father and sister's suggestion.
Jiang Yuzheng was very aware of the importance of Shenyu to the King of the Sun, and she advised her father to avoid Emperor Shiyan's eyes and ears and borrow jade in private.
She knows that with the loyalty and benevolence of the King of the Sun, she will not see the lives of the queen's mother and son in danger. However, to the Emperor, the King of the Sun is his most respected brother, and he will not casually put his brother in danger. At that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to borrow jade. If you can't borrow jade, then you can't save your sister, let alone take revenge......
Jiang Rongyun listened to the words of his second daughter, and took advantage of Emperor Jinghou's private visit to Pengcheng Weifu a few days later, and took the jade zither to the palace to borrow jade. Seeing the usually steady and dashing Jiang family patriarch hiding his face in tears, he couldn't bear it, and his heart softened at the moment, and after the couple discussed for a while, they secretly borrowed jade from the queen. The princess warned Jiang Rongyun's father and daughter that the emperor should not know about this matter, otherwise the emperor would be guilty.
After Queen Jing got the divine jade, she wore it on her chest, and was nourished by its chalcedony day and night, and her illness got better day by day, and the mother and child were safe. This amazed the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital, and they became the queen of the gods.
The emperor is the queen's recovery and the imperial medical hall is rewarded. Two months later, Concubine Yi had good news. The gloom that had always shrouded the palace seemed to be slowly dispelled by the sunlight.
The queen has always been good friends with Concubine Yi, and the two married Jin Lan as early as the day they entered the palace, and they are like two sisters. When the emperor was busy with state affairs, the queen ignored the poop and big belly, and went to the Laurel Palace every day to take care of Concubine Yi who vomited due to pregnancy.
In July, at the suggestion of Empress Jing, the emperor made an edict of sin, and in August, he bowed down and went to the northern suburbs to fast for three days. Subsequently, the heavens blessed the rain, and the disaster was alleviated. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the civil strife just eased, and the external disaster broke out again.
Since the defeat of the Shun Dynasty two years ago, the 200,000-strong army of the Shun Dynasty has been lying in wait for the opportunity in the border land. Encountering the internal disaster and famine of the Da Viet Dynasty, a counteroffensive began. Emperor Shiyan drove the expedition in person, and Marquis Jinghou Xia Lingran followed the emperor to the western border. Before leaving, the emperor temporarily handed over the major domestic affairs to the king of Qingri, and entrusted the couple to take care of the queen.
The queen will give birth in a month, and the king and his wife dare not slack off and take care of it personally. At that time, the emperor was not there, and the king of the sun was in the palace, and he gave everyone a shot in the arm when the country was in crisis. However, no one seems to know that the King of the Sun is invincible, and his body has become very weak after leaving the Divine Jade.
Jiang Yuzheng enters the palace from time to time to accompany her sister, and often meets the loving King and his wife. These stimulated Yuzheng's resentment even more. As a result, an unexpected thing happened, which changed the lives of many people later.
