Chapter 41: The Dragon Set (2)
(Go to the net.)
After almost a month, Zhize completely abandoned his previous image of being diligent in government affairs, and indulged in the gentle township of the new concubine, unable to extricate himself. Go to the net --.7-K--o-m. Because of this, the handling of official affairs by the imperial court has been greatly affected.
Although the ministers were isolated outside the palace, they saw that the emperor was either late or canceled for no reason, even if it was the last dynasty, he looked restless, and many political affairs were handed over to Lord Situ and Prime Minister Xun Cheng, and over time, there were a lot of gossips in the court and the opposition, and Xun Huier was also implicated, but she didn't care much about Zhize's favor for her and the power of her father and brother, and in the eyes of outsiders, she still looked arrogant.
Chunyu didn't seem to listen to my advice at all, and was still secretly ambiguous with Xun Yimei, although their behavior was secretive and secretive, but I had heard of it somewhat, but I was quite sad in my heart, and I had no time to pay attention to it, so I could only wait and watch the changes.
"Mother, there's a strange thing you want to hear. "That morning, I was soaking in the warm bath and thinking about my thoughts, when Ruyan was talking to me through the curtain.
"What's the matter, isn't it about Mrs. Chun again?" Because Ruyan has been in the palace for a long time, and all kinds of gossip are quite well-informed, so I specially told her before to help me pay attention to Chunyu's movements, and when I heard her say this, I immediately thought of Chunyu.
"Niangniang guessed wrong this time, not about Mrs. Chun, but about Queen Chu. Ruyan's casual words aroused my interest, Chu Jinglan suddenly remembered the vicious eyes in her sharp hairpin, and inexplicably shivered a few times.
"She, what's wrong with her?" I originally thought that Zhize would send her to Chen Liu's palace, and she and I should never have anything to do with her in the future, but today's news of her suddenly appeared did surprise me.
"A few days ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone to Chen Liu's procurement of silk fabrics, and when he came back, he brought a news by the way, saying that on the twenty-first day of last month, Chen Liu's palace broke out into a fire, although the fire was put out in time, but because the incident happened late at night, there were many deaths and injuries in the palace, and several concubines who mourned the emperor were buried in the fire. Ruyan said to me as she walked around outside packing her things.
"Buried in the sea of fire, how is Empress Chu?" I asked eagerly, although I was like fire and water with her, but in the face of natural disasters, I still cared a lot about this woman's news.
"Speaking of this thing is also quite strange, after the official government confirmed, the fire was first ignited from the Queen of Chu's bedroom, it is said that her bedroom was almost all scorched, but the strange thing is that after the fact, Queen Chu disappeared as if out of thin air, there was no trace of her among the living, and her body was not found, just like dew disappeared, you say it's not strange. ”
Ruyan said briskly and naturally, obviously she just wanted to take this matter as an anecdote to relieve my boredom, but I didn't know that what I listened to in it was terrified, Chu Jinglan made a vicious oath to me at the beginning I still remember vividly, and the biggest characteristic of this woman is that she will repay her. If she really dies in the fire, it doesn't matter, if she takes advantage of the chaos to escape, I'm afraid that in the future... I don't even dare to think about it anymore.
"Didn't the government order an inspection? The emperor didn't know about this news?"
Ruyan replied outside: "Chen Liu's officials have already reported the matter to the imperial court, but the emperor..." It is said that Lord Situ finally inquired about this matter, because he was worried about the loss of labor and money, so he suppressed this matter, and treated Queen Chu as if she had passed away, and was buried in the mausoleum of Emperor Mourning with other concubines. ”
"Oh. "When I learned what had happened, I reluctantly responded, still a little worried.
"Your Majesty... Is the emperor still living in Zhanglian Palace?" Thinking of Zhize, my heart became contradictory and tangled, and I finally asked.
"Well, it is said that the emperor is still there. Ruyan replied cautiously, for fear of irritating me.
I didn't say anything, just smiled bitterly, it's been more than a month, and I'm used to answering like this. If I said that at the beginning, I still had illusions in my heart, Zhize was just confused and went astray for a while, and it didn't take long for me to understand. But looking at the current situation, it confirms how ridiculous my previous speculation was.
"Niangniang, don't be in a hurry to get angry, and don't hold all the grievances in your heart," Ruyan heard me silent inside, thinking that I was still sad about this matter, so she said softly outside: "The emperor said to Niangniang before, that is really good and has nothing to say, in his heart, there must be no one to replace your position, maybe the emperor is just confused for a while now, and he will change his mind in the future." ”
"In the future, I really don't know when the day you said will be. I sighed helplessly, for the prospect, I began to become increasingly pessimistic, too, I have almost done everything I can, but Zhize is still like this, what should I do?
When thinking of how to persuade Zhize, there is one person who is destined to be unavoidable, that is, Zhize's hardcore brother Yuan Zhiyu, it stands to reason that according to the relationship between the two of them, he should come forward to persuade Zhize that there should be a chance for a turnaround, but he has never done so, and continues to be his own Jingshi garrison general, and he is not in a hurry for Zhize's depravity. Originally, I didn't have a good relationship with him, and last time because of Wanyun and I also formed a bond, our relationship became quite cold, and I held back a resentment in my heart, and I didn't want to take the initiative to show favor to him, so I didn't ask him.
Alas, maybe if it goes on like this, maybe I really have to put down the queen's shelf and ask Yuan Zhiyu to help me. Thinking of this, I sighed and shrank back into the water.
There was a sudden knock on the door outside, and Ruyan then went over to check the situation, and after a while, she came to report that Chunyu had come to see her. What are you going to do when Chunyu comes this time? I got up from the bath and went to meet her.
"I haven't seen my sister go out recently, I heard that my sister has been staying in the palace, and I was afraid that my sister would be bored, so I came to take a look. When I packed my clothes and went to the front hall to greet me, Chunyu had been waiting for me there for a long time, and when he saw me come out, he got up from his seat with a smile and greeted me.
"It's just that I've been depressed lately, I don't want to go out, I just like to be alone, and sometimes, just sit alone, and sit for a day. "In the face of the enthusiastic spring rain, I can't lift my spirit.
"My sister came to me, I'm afraid there is something else, right?" I took the initiative to ask.
Chunyu smiled mysteriously, and then replied: "My sister is really smart, I came here this time because I have something to discuss with my sister." As he spoke, he looked at the maids standing on either side.
I was stunned, I didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the spring rain gourd, and I was just about to stretch out my hand to signal the palace maids to retreat, but the little eunuch in charge of guarding the door recklessly broke in, knelt in front of the hall and said: "Qi Yu Niangniang, Hui **** Qi noble people ask to see, saying that there is something important to see Niangniang." ”
"But it's really strange, originally I was a small gate of Xiaoming Palace, and there were very few people who came to visit, but today everyone actually lined up to come to me, and they all kept saying that there was something important to discuss, and the palace was really a little flattered. I was stunned for a moment, and then said jokingly to Chunyu.
"You tell her, just say that the palace occasionally feels cold, let her change the day..."Joke is a joke, it was originally the spring rain that came early, and it was going to come first after all. Besides, Qi Yuzhen is a person, bitter and mean, and tends to be inflammatory, I hate her very much.
Chunyu unexpectedly stopped me and said with a smile: "Why did my sister refuse to be thousands of miles away, if I hadn't thought in advance that someone would come to my sister, I wouldn't have to visit me today." ”
"You expected her to come to me?" I looked at Chunyu suspiciously, my heart full of confusion.
Chunyu was not in a hurry to find out the reason, but smiled and said to me: "Sister, just summon her, see what she came to you for, and I will stay in the screen behind you for a while." After speaking, he got up and took the initiative to greet the little eunuch and said, "Don't hurry up and invite Qi nobles." The little eunuch looked at me suspiciously, and I hesitated for a moment, but nodded slightly, and then he turned around and ran out.
"Chunyu..."Before I could speak, Chunyu stretched out his hand and made a silent movement, came to me, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Sister, don't worry, things will be clear in a while." With that, he walked to the screen behind him.
"Sister, no matter what she Qi Yuzhen says later, don't take a stand, just find an excuse to excuse the past. "When it was over, Chunyu didn't forget to tell me, although her words sounded more confusing to me.
Before I could calm down from the fog left by the spring rain, Qi Yuzhen walked up to the hall lightly, and I saw that she was dressed elegantly, but she was also graceful and charming.
"The concubine has seen the queen mother!" Qi Yuzhen came to me with a patterned smile on her face and bowed.
"Qi Guiren is a rare guest of my Xiaoming Palace, I haven't been here before, I see you today, I don't know what's going on?" I didn't talk to her, and asked straight to the point.
"The concubine didn't come to the door to meet the queen before, but the concubine was not good at etiquette, and the concubine was just worried that she was young and vigorous, and she did something bad and offended the queen. "This little girl is worthy of seeing some storms, and in the face of my ridicule, she seems to be unfazed, and the embarrassment is easily resolved.
"Oh, then I came here this time, I'm afraid that there is something to discuss with the palace?" In the face of my questioning, Qi Yuzhen did not answer directly, but just looked left and right as if no one was around, and then smiled: "It's really strange, the queen mother is the world, why is there not a maid to accompany her?"
"Mo Fei," a good Qi Yuzhen, even such a subtle detail did not escape her eyes, she seemed to notice the panic that flashed in my eyes, her eyes looked at the screen behind me intentionally or unintentionally, and whispered: "Who was the queen mother discussing with just now?"
