Chapter 751: Aftermath
The Empress Dowager pondered for a long time before she said: "The Prince De, who is in charge of this matter, will be punished with fifty rods." Ordered Wang Jingsheng and Zuo Lei to investigate the beginning and end of today's hunting. After returning to the palace, the punishment will be carried out. What do you think?"
Lin Zhixuan saw that the Empress Dowager was determined to punish Prince De, in fact, such a bane, since Wei Mingmu openly competed with Wei Mingxu for the throne, the Empress Dowager was very angry and wanted to teach this reckless and ignorant son a lesson.
Looking at the Empress Dowager's expression, she actually asked Lin Zhixuan, which also showed that she had made enough concessions.
Lin Zhixuan still wanted to persuade again, but looking at the face of the Empress Dowager, she could only keep silent, and gave Prince De a look to the Princess De on the side, and asked Prince De to say a word, but Prince and Princess De didn't dare to speak.
Lin Zhixuan was helpless, so she could only say respectfully: "The Empress Dowager Shengming." ”
The Empress Dowager then instructed Liu Xi to go out to spread the word, and said: "You go back and take care of the old fourteen, and I will go over to see him later." ”
Lin Zhixuan comforted the Empress Dowager for a long time, and said: "The prince is fine, my mother doesn't have to worry too much, taking care of your body is the most important thing." ”
After all, Wei Mingxu was still relieved, and Lin Zhixuan also withdrew. But he first went to find Huang Zhen, who was following the attendant, and there was already a eunuch who wanted to take Wei Mingmu to the execution, and Wei Mingmu still shouted that he was wronged.
Lin Zhixuan and Huang Zhen whispered: "You personally went to find someone to execute, you should know who Prince De is, so that the people under your hands can be more measured." ”
Huang Zhen saluted Lin Zhixuan again and again: "My nephew naturally knows it, and my aunt must rest assured." ”
Saying that, Huang Zhen had already hurried to make arrangements, and Princess De gave Lin Zhixuan a slight curtsiness and salute, which was regarded as a thank you. Lin Zhixuan was a little reluctant in her heart, returned the salute and comforted her a few words, and watched her pass with Prince De.
Lin Zhixuan then went to look at Zuo Leizong and Wang Jingsheng, who had already gotten up, and said, "The two uncles have suffered. Now that the prince is injured and the emperor is unconscious, he asked his uncle to send more people to protect him, and after listening to the meaning of the imperial doctor, he will return to Beijing as soon as possible. ”
Wang Jingsheng and Zuo Leizong were originally guilty, and felt that it was just the two of them who were derelict in their duties and were negligent, but now when they heard Lin Zhixuan say this, some of the grass and trees have become soldiers. should be, and asked Wei Mingxu again, but there was a big problem. Lin Zhixuan thanked them for their concern, and only said to the outside world that Wei Mingxu was just a minor injury and was not in the way, in order to stabilize people's hearts, so as not to dare to spread any kind of gossip.
Wang Jingsheng and both of them hurriedly went.
Liu Xi stood on the side of the tent, quietly watching everything arranged by Lin Zhixuan, and then went back to serve the Empress Dowager, and the imperial doctor replied to the Empress Dowager: "The emperor is young and strong, these injuries are not in the way, and there is no major problem after only a few months of recuperation, the reason why he has not woken up is because of excessive fright, and he can wake up immediately after drinking the decoction." It's just that with such an injury, the pain is inevitably unbearable, and it is better for the emperor to fall asleep. ”
The Empress Dowager nodded and asked them to prescribe medicine, Liu Xi helped the Empress Dowager to sit in the back hall, poured tea for the Empress Dowager, and explained the arrangements of Lin Zhixuan to the Empress Dowager in detail.
"That girl has bright eyes and bright hearts, if she hadn't stopped her, she would have been really afraid that something would have happened. The Empress Dowager sat with her eyes closed and slowly twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand.
Seeing the Empress Dowager say this, Liu Xi asked in a low voice, "Do you also think that someone did it on purpose?"
The Empress Dowager said disapprovingly: "I have carefully asked the guards who followed, but it is the emperor who is messing around, there are too many coincidences in this, even if someone really tried their best to get the bear to the Nanyuan paddock, how can they control the emperor, so that the emperor must meet the black bear? And if it is not inevitable, then why bother to get such a big thing." It's just that it's useless to be fifteen years old! She said that just to persuade me to give Wang Jingsheng a few people off.
It's just that the girl has a point, even if this incident was just an accident at first, but if the later things are not handled properly, there may be even greater disasters. ”
Liu Xi also echoed: "I look at it coldly, Princess Jing is very clever, maybe she can share your worries." Looking at yesterday, she is like the prince, and she can also know the weight in the prince's heart. ”
The Empress Dowager sighed: "Hey, don't worry, I'm looking forward to it, if there will never be that day, it will be the best." ”
The news that Wei Mingxu and Wei Yanxian were injured by the black bear had spread all over the camp, and Lu Yan couldn't sit still, urging Lin Yuanchuan to hurry up to find out the news, how was the injury, Lu Yan couldn't rest assured that Lin Zhixuan was going to bring some medicine to treat the injury, and went over quietly.
Lin Yuanchuan's expression was even more worried, and he hurriedly sent someone to investigate, and after coming back and returning carefully, Lu Yan wanted to visit Lin Zhixuan, but Lin Yuanchuan didn't stop him, but helped prepare a lot of things. Lu Yan said in surprise: "Aren't you going with me?"
Lin Yuanchuan was about to answer, but the little guy outside suddenly came to pass the word, saying that Wei Yanting, the king of Sujun, had invited Lin Yuanchuan to come over.
Lin Yuanchuan said to Lu Yan at this time: "I don't know what Yanting is looking for, you go first." ”
Although Lu Yan didn't know what to do, he still went to visit Lin Zhixuan first.
Lin Yuanchuan went to Wei Yanting's tent alone. didn't want Wei Yanting not to see him in the tent, but said, "You go out with me." ”
Afraid that the partition wall in the camp tent would have ears, the two went to the pasture behind them, which was empty on all sides, and if there were people within a hundred meters, they could see it at a glance, and they were not afraid of being overheard.
"Have you heard of everything?" Wei Yanting asked.
Lin Yuanchuan nodded.
Wei Yanting frowned: "I really hate it! What a good opportunity, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why did you still let the little emperor and the fourteenth uncle escape! They are really blessed with a great fate!"
In such an empty and uninhabited grassland, Lin Yuanchuan did not remind Wei Yanting to be cautious, and only let him vent before he said slowly: "You should be glad that if the little emperor dies, you will have no chance at all." ”
Wei Yanting said unwillingly: "I heard that the fifteenth uncle was scolded by the cane, and now both of them are injured, and medicine is indispensable, I will send someone back to Beijing to inform the Zhenguo Gong, so that they can't go back to the capital." ”
Now that the regent and the emperor have been injured, we haven't moved yet, I'm afraid that the people from the governor's yamen and the guards will move first." Besides, you don't have prestige now, even if both of them die, will it be your turn? The Empress Dowager is still here after all. ”
Wei Yanting was obviously very unwilling: "But after waiting for so many years, I finally have a chance!
