Chapter 22: The Emperor's Calculations
Gu Changning looked at Ye Xun as if he had something to say to his niece, so he said very familiarly: "Your Majesty, the peach blossoms in the garden are blooming well today." β
Ye Xun followed her words and said, "Then trouble Zitong to prepare first, let's go over together." β
"You don't need to prepare much, the places to eat and enjoy the scenery are ready-made. Gu Changning said: "It just so happens that Yan'er is also there, let's go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers together." β
"Yes. β
Chu Ziyan knew that the viewing of the Imperial Garden was secondary, and it was really important to go to the secret room of the Imperial Garden to see someone.
The Imperial Garden was not far from Kunning Palace, so Ye Xun and Gu Changning didn't want to take a step, but the two of them walked in front, and Chu Ziyan walked behind them.
Only brought a few people with him, and did not alarm too many people.
It's been two years, and I've been going back and forth here a lot. Although there are many mechanisms set up here, Chu Ziyan can enter and exit here almost with her eyes closed.
Ye Xun walked into the secret room, Gu Changning and Chu Ziyan followed, and a man in the secret room was lying on a jade bed, with a pale face and a willow leaf-shaped mark on his forehead.
"It's been two years, and nothing has changed. Ye Xun looked at the person in front of him and said with some regret: "I knew that I wouldn't let him come to the capital." β
Gu Changning obviously knew the inside story, she watched from the sidelines, and she didn't come forward to comfort her, just quietly waiting for Ye Xun to vent her emotions.
Chu Ziyan is also very strange, His Majesty Emperor Dafeng Ye Xun has many princes, and there are five adults alone. It's just that the fifth prince was implicated because of Shen Lin's matter, and he should have lost his relationship with the throne. The fourth prince was unable to inherit the throne because of his physical illness.
And the emperor's eldest son, Ye Jinyu, was born to the Empress Pei, and before the Empress Yuan died, he gave him his current wife Pei, so of course the Pei family would support him.
As for the second prince Ye Hongtao, who was born by Xue Guifei, the Xue family of the Jiangnan Wang clan will definitely support him.
As for the third son of the emperor, Ye Yueze, and the fourth son of the emperor were both from the unknown Concubine Liu Hui, and the Liu family had no one to be an official in the imperial court, so naturally they could not get much support. Therefore, these two princes are the most inconspicuous on weekdays.
As for the sixth prince Ye Xuyao, he is nineteen years old this year, although he and the emperor's eldest son Ye Jinyu were both born to the Empress Yuan, but his body and bones are too weak, and the imperial doctor concluded that he will not live to be twenty-five years old. Just ask, who else would dare to put the treasure on him with such a person.
The rest of the princes are still too young and have uncertain temperaments, so everyone is still waiting.
There are still many people who can inherit the throne, and this Ye Jingkuan is really the most inappropriate in front of him, but he did succeed to the throne in his previous life. What happened in the middle, Chu Ziyan doesn't remember, but Ye Jingkuan's current situation is really hard to say.
Gu Changning looked at his niece beside him, and felt a little uncomfortable. Ye Jingkuan's identity, she knows. He is the child born to Ye Xun's most beloved woman, and he has been away from him for many years, so he is not an ordinary pet.
At that time, after marrying him and his niece Chen Jingyi, she was quite happy. I've been happy for this niece, and I've finally found a more reliable man. Second, with my sister here, my mother's family will not be defeated.
However, who would have thought that just a few days after the marriage was decided, this kind of thing happened to Ye Jingkuan. Even the emperor, who didn't believe in his fate very much, began to wonder if it was because he had set such a marriage for Ye Jinglenient, so he let his precious son be in a coma for so long.
Not only that, but even Zhou Shaoning was implicated, and went to the south to quell the rebellion, and always prevented the king of Zhennan from rebelling.
Moreover, Gu Changning recently discovered that there was something wrong with Ye Xun's eyes looking at his niece Chu Ziyan, and many of his behaviors were very wrong.
is obviously Jingyi's fiancΓ©, but he always asks Yan'er to come over to take care of him. When she mentioned that it was inappropriate at first, Ye Xun could still find some reason, this was confidential, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Shaoning's daughter-in-law is also an insider, and her participation in taking care of it is not excessive.
However, later, when Ye Xun called Chu Ziyan, he changed her name to Yan'er like himself, instead of Shaoning's daughter-in-law.
This change, Gu Changning thinks, it should be Ye Xun's intention, as for why this is so. Gu Changning had a bold guess in her heart, but she felt that it should be very impossible.
After Ye Xun looked at his son for a long time, he then said to Chu Ziyan: "Yan'er, has the doctor you asked to find a way to treat Kuan'er?"
"He's not a doctor, he's just the owner of an incense shop, he's proficient in a lot of spices, he knows a little bit of his cousin's poison, but he hasn't found a suitable way yet. But a few days ago, I received news that he would return to the capital tomorrow. β
Chu Ziyan honestly said everything she knew, "His confidante is a doctor, and he has also cured many incurable diseases. I also know about Cousin Ye's illness. β
"Then there is no way to cure it?"
Chu Ziyan shook her head and said, "Because no one has ever lived for a month after this sign." It is not easy to maintain this for two years now. β
Ye Xun looked at his son, who was unconscious at all, thought for a while, and said, "You can bring Kuan'er to Chengenhou Mansion today, and let the boss come over tomorrow to take a look, maybe there will be any way." β
After speaking, Ye Xun glanced at Ye Jingkuan again, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but he still closed his eyes and turned to leave.
Leaving the shocked Gu Changning and Chu Ziyan in place, pondering his words.
Gu Changning is Ye Xun's second queen, and she has been with her for almost twenty years. She knew the weight of Ye Jingkuan in Ye Xun's mind, and he would never give up this child unless he had to. Could it be that these two years have been the limit?
But why do you put people in the Cheng'en Mansion......?
Gu Changning didn't dare to continue thinking about it, she glanced at Chu Ziyan and said, "Since Your Majesty has ordered this, you can do it." But it's all about remembering who you are and don't do things that cross the line. β
Chu Ziyan was also thinking about this, she could hear the worry in her aunt's words, as well as the warning, nodded and said, "Yan'er knows." β
The two of them didn't speak for a while, and a few eunuchs came in, and they began to pack Ye Jingkuan's clothes very safely, preparing to take people away.
Looking at this situation, Gu Changning said: "Since Your Majesty has already made such a decision, and the people have also arranged it, you will also leave the palace at this time." If there is anything, immediately ask someone to go to Taifu's Mansion to find someone, or let someone notify me. β
"Aunt Xie. β
Gu Changning nodded, watching his niece follow behind those people and leave her sight.
"Mother, let's go back too......"
Gu Changning glanced at the cronies beside him, nodded, and said, "From today on, I will say that I am not in good health, Kunning Palace will close the door and thank the guests, and hand over the affairs of the harem to the concubine to deal with." β
"Yes. β
If that's the case, then she'll have to get along with the way it copes. Otherwise, the lives of those two children will be ruined. And her mother's family will also be in a disadvantageous situation, Gu Changning feels that she is now encountering a very difficult problem that must be solved.
Chu Ziyan followed her maid Hongyu to the gate of the palace and prepared to take the car back to the house, but after arriving, she found that her carriage seemed to have changed.
Hongyu repeatedly told others that it was not the carriage in the house, but the little eunuch had to say yes.
Chu Ziyan also got into the carriage, but there seemed to be one more person in the carriage......
