Chapter 321: Blindfolding
This time it was the queen mother's turn to be puzzled, she looked at the crown prince, and asked tentatively: "Good grandson, you just said that you don't like the second girl of the Yuanning Hou Mansion, don't you just want to quit this family business?"
The prince wrinkled his brows and looked at the Queen Mother, and simply walked to the Queen Mother's side and sat down, just like when he was a child with the Queen Mother, shaking the Queen Mother's arm and saying: "Oh, Imperial Grandmother, what are you talking about? I don't like the second girl of the Gu family, but I didn't say that I wanted to quit this family business." ”
This time, the Queen Mother was completely confused: "Wait, you said that you don't like the second girl, but you don't give up your relationship with others, you, what do you think?"
The crown prince said with a smile: "Imperial grandmother, even if I don't marry that second lady, aren't there other boudoir ladies in the Yuanning Hou Mansion? And when my father made the decree, he didn't specifically specify that he had to marry the second miss, right, so I can still marry other young ladies in the Yuanning Hou Mansion, right?"
The Queen Mother thought for a while: "You have a point, but now in the Yuanning Marquis Mansion, in addition to the second girl who is famous in the capital, it seems that the fourth girl is also a good ......";
The prince pouted secretly, that Miss Gu Si, he wouldn't like it. He looked at the Queen Mother, smiled sweetly, and didn't say anything, thinking to himself, let the imperial grandmother guess first, and then surprise her.
"Well, as long as you don't regret your marriage and don't give me a problem as an old woman, I'll thank God. The Queen Mother happily patted the prince on the shoulder and said.
"Why did the imperial grandmother say that her grandson was the demon king of the mixed world, and her grandson has always listened to the words of the imperial grandmother. "The crown prince has been with the Queen Mother since he was a child. It was brought up by the Queen Mother, so the relationship with the Queen Mother was unusually good, and the rarely coquettish attitude can only be seen here by the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Look at you." You're about to grow into an adult, and now you can take care of state affairs for your father, and you're still coquettish with your grandmother?
The crown prince ignored it and buried his head in the arms of the queen mother, just like when he was a child: "In my heart, the imperial grandmother is the best person in the world, and I am in front of the imperial grandmother." Never grow up. ”
The Empress Dowager hugged her most beloved grandson in her life: "Okay, well, in the eyes of the imperial grandmother, you will always be a child who will not grow up." ”
After a while. The crown prince raised his head, looked at the queen mother and said, "Imperial grandmother, have you drunk the decoction I asked you to boil?"
The Queen Mother was moved by her grandson's care and thoughtfulness, and nodded with a smile: "Drink." I drink it every day. ”
The crown prince looked a little solemn and said, "This is an extraordinary time. The epidemic broke out in a remote town in Yuedi, and my grandson has sent someone to investigate, and sealed off the town, isolating and treating the people there, not wanting the epidemic to leak out. Nowadays, epidemics are frequent across the country, although the scale is not large, but it has to be prevented. ”
"I heard that the old lady of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion is also infected with the epidemic?" the Queen Mother suddenly remembered the news she heard a few days ago, "I don't know what happened to the Yuanning Marquis Mansion now." I heard that it was very serious, and there were ...... dead."
Speaking of which. The Queen Mother frowned slightly. Just said that the prince was going to marry a girl from the Yuanning Marquis Mansion to be the crown princess, and now it is rumored that the Yuanning Marquis Mansion is infected with the epidemic, this matter seems to be a bit tricky......
The crown prince seemed to understand the queen mother's thoughts, and said: "Imperial grandmother, please rest assured, although it is now rumored that the Yuanning Marquis Mansion is infected with the epidemic, but the disease is quickly controlled, and Imperial Doctor Hu has also seen it in the past, the isolation and disinfection measures are very good, and no one else in the palace has been infected, so the imperial grandmother does not have to worry." ”
The Queen Mother nodded: "This is very good, after all, the Yuanning Marquis Mansion is going to marry our royal family, and now the old lady in their mansion is sick, and it is too unkind to go over to visit, and it is only right for the mourning family to take a time to go and see their mansion." ”
The crown prince hurriedly said: "Grandmother Huang, I'll go with you." ”
The Queen Mother's eyes rolled: "What, the sweetheart who wants to see you?"
The prince's face flushed, and there was a burst of embarrassment on his face, and he hurriedly covered it up: "What's the matter, I'm just accompanying the imperial grandmother to take a look." Didn't you say it all the old man, we will soon become in-laws with others, and if there is such a big thing in their house, if we don't visit, we will be criticized. Besides, now that the situation in the capital is grim, the grandson should also be by the side of the imperial grandmother to protect the safety of the imperial grandmother. ”
The Queen Mother smiled: "Okay, well, the mourning family knows that you are filial and selfless, so let's go together." ”
The prince's face turned even redder.
The grandfather and grandson talked about it, and the queen mother knew that the prince was in charge of the country and there were many things, and she couldn't bear to let the prince accompany her for too long, so she sent him back.
Seeing the prince leave Cining Palace, the Queen Mother smiled and summoned the most powerful Mother Shen to her: "Mother Shen, tell me, how did you say that this epidemic came here? ”
Mother Shen nodded, agreeing with the Queen Mother's opinion.
The Queen Mother muttered: "Over the years, since King Su stayed in the capital as a hostage, Yue Di has been managed by his younger brother, King Yue is now a waste person, his actions are restricted, and the side concubine Qin Fanglan next to him is our person, so he can't make any trouble." The mourning family is just strange, there has been nothing special reported on Qin Fanglan's side recently, and even the outbreak of the plague in that remote town in Yuedi is an afterthought, but it is the plague caused by such a small village and town, and the prince also sent people to block that town as soon as possible, and it can be frequented all over the Jokhang Kingdom, don't you think this is very abnormal?"
Mother Shen thought about it, and suddenly thought of something, she looked at the Queen Mother uncertainly: "Queen Mother, the slave maid has an idea, I don't know if I can say it?"
The Queen Mother bowed her head and said: "There are no outsiders here, just say whatever you want." ”
Shen's mother said: "The plague has always been the most avoided disease, and the Jokhang Kingdom has always been the fastest and fastest way to report this epidemic, six hundred miles is urgent, and all post stations must fully cooperate, and the emergency documents in the army must be treated equally, so the slave believes that as soon as the epidemic is discovered in Yuedi, the news will be transmitted to the capital as soon as possible." ”
The Queen Mother nodded and motioned for Shen's mother to continue.
In that case, the problem arises. Mother Shen frowned and said, "The prince has always acted quickly, and after receiving the report, he must immediately notify the local garrison army to implement blockade and martial law to prevent the spread of the plague." Since the lockdown was tight, why were so many places in the Jokhang country infected with the plague? Now even the capital has become a disaster area. ”
The Queen Mother's expression became more and more solemn: "You mean, this plague was manipulated and instructed by someone behind the scenes, with the purpose of causing chaos in my Jokhang Kingdom?"
Mother Shen nodded and said, "This is just the slave's conjecture, I don't know if the guess is right......
The Queen Mother thought for a while and said, "According to what you say, the place where the plague occurred must not be in Yuedi, which is so far away from the capital, it is impossible to spread to the capital in a short time." Those people deliberately carried out of a small town in Yuedi, but it was just a trick. This person must know about our grievances with Yuedi, so he took the opportunity to provoke an incident, let us make a big war against Yuedi, consume our national strength, and let our national strength lose money in a short period of time, so as to achieve their goal.
