Chapter 1217: Concubine Shu
Yuchen was very surprised when she saw Concubine Xiang's tearful appearance. If she didn't know Concubine Xiang's nature, she really thought that she loved this child very much!
"Don't worry, the little princess will be fine soon." As soon as Yuchen's words fell, it was said outside that Doctor Le Tai was coming.
Doctor Le Tai looked at it and said that the little princess had a fever due to the influence of the weather. Every time spring begins, children get sick easily. And in this era of lack of medical treatment, if you don't pay attention to this child, it is easy to die.
After prescribing the medicine, Dr. Le Tai gave a detailed explanation and explained many precautions.
After Concubine Xiang blessed Yuchen, she wiped the little princess's whole body with warm water according to what Doctor Le Tai said.
Yuchen stayed for a while and then returned to Zhanghua Palace, and said to Mama Gui: "This Mama Gao is really powerful. "Concubine Xiang is narrow-minded, and with her nature, even if she is a princess, she can't tolerate it. But now Concubine Xiang seems to have changed into a different person, and she will take care of the little princess wholeheartedly, and she still thinks that the little princess is her biological daughter!
Mama Gui said: "This Mama Gao's methods are indeed very clever, Concubine Xiang is now obedient to her, and the whole of Roufu Palace has also been treated like an iron bucket by her." "Most of the people they planted in the Roufu Palace were cleared by Mama Gao.
Speaking of this, Mama Gui said with some regret: "It's a pity that this person is too difficult. "It's not that she didn't do anything to Mama Gao, but unfortunately she was avoided by Mama Gao.
Yuchen frowned and said, "I always feel that something is not right. Mama Gao used to be just an ordinary errand boy in the department's room, if she really had such a big ability, why did she stay in it for nearly 20 years. ”
Not to mention Yuchen, even Mama Gui is also very suspicious. It is difficult to make Concubine Xiang obey her words in such a short period of time, so that people do not have doubts. Mama Gui said in a deep voice: "I have checked, this Mama Gao originally wanted to leave the palace, but then she stayed in the palace for some reason. I've been paying close attention these days, and I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. ”
Mama Gao has the help of others, and she can feel Concubine Xiang's temperament clearly, so she can let Concubine Xiang listen to her. However, even she herself didn't know who was helping her. It is not a simple person to be able to stay in the palace for more than 20 years and survive several palace changes. Although she knew that there was something strange about this, she didn't reveal a word about it.
Yuchen didn't have a better idea for a while: "Put this matter aside for the time being, Ah Chi will go to Tongcheng in two days, I have to prepare more things for him." ”
The little princess had a high fever, and Concubine Xiang took care of her sleeplessly, and when the little princess recovered, Concubine Xiang fell ill.
Looking at Concubine Xiang, who looked haggard, Yan Wushuang sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Concubine Xiang shook her head and said with a look of self-reproach: "This is what a concubine should do." It was also the blame that the concubine didn't take good care of Jiaojiao, so she suffered such a crime. ”
When Yan Wushuang heard this, his expression softened a lot.
Hearing that Concubine Xiang was promoted to Concubine Shu, Yuchen's face was a little ugly. Concubine Shu is one of the four concubines, second only to the noble concubine. It is equivalent to saying that she will no longer be a monopoly in the harem in the future.
Mama Gui said: "I didn't expect the Xiang family to take advantage of the little princess's illness to rise to a higher position. ”
After Yuchen calmed down, he said, "Mama, don't you think Mama Gao has figured out the emperor's thoughts very thoroughly?" "The emperor likes innocent and kind women, and he also hopes that the harem will be harmonious. And what the Xiang family is doing now is catering to the emperor, just the Xiang family, where is this brain.
Mama Gui suddenly understood what Yuchen meant: "Niangniang suspects that there is someone behind Mama Gao?" Did this person deliberately carry the Xiang family to compete with the concubine? ”
Yuchen asked, "You say, could this person be Han Yuxi?" She felt that only Han Yuxi had such great ability.
Mama Gui thought about it seriously and said, "I think if Han Yuxi really wants to take revenge on the concubine, he should be a killer directly, and he won't beat around the bush like this." ”
Yuchen shook his head and said, "Maybe she just wants to block me?" She pretended not to care about Yan Wushuang on her face, but in fact, only she knew that she had Yan Wushuang as a husband in her heart. But she has always been very sensible and restrained this affection.
Mama Gui said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be, right?" "Just to block his master, he spent so much time, and it doesn't feel like Han Yuxi's style of acting.
Yuchen said: "Who can guess Han Yuxi's thoughts?" But without evidence, you can't tell the emperor about it. You should pay more attention to Mama Gao, and if there is anything wrong, you will immediately return to me. ”
Mama Gui nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Knowing that Ah Chi was going to Tongcheng, Ah Bao also clamored to go with him, but was rejected by Yan Wushuang. As for Yuchen, it is even more impossible to let her take risks.
Ah Bao was anxious and asked, "Why can the third brother go, but I can't?" Father, mother, are you too favoritism? ”
No matter how much trouble Ah Bao had, Yan Wushuang and Yuchen couldn't let go, and Ah Bao was so angry that he went on a hunger strike to protest. Yuchen is different from Yuxi, she can't be ruthless, but she can't let Ah Bao go to Tongcheng. Therefore, she accompanied Po without eating or drinking.
Ah Bao eats soft rather than hard, and seeing that Yuchen was so thirsty that his lips were dry and he didn't drink water, he immediately hugged Yuchen and cried: "Mother, I eat, can't I eat?" ”
While Ah Bao was eating, Yuchen also drank a bowl of millet and red date porridge. Po went on a hunger strike and ultimately failed.
Yuchen leaned on the red carved silk pillow and said, "I still don't have the ability of Han Yuxi. Ah Bao went on a hunger strike, and she could only go on a hunger strike with her, forcing Ah Bao to compromise. But Han Yuxi wanted Yun Lan to compromise and not give Yun Lan food.
Mama Gui said: "Don't let the child eat, only the stepmother can do it." Sometimes I really suspect that Yun Lan was adopted by Han Yuxi, not her own. ”
Yuchen said lightly: "If jade is not cut, Han Yuxi has high hopes for Yun Lan to use such a method." After speaking, Yuchen looked at the window and said: "If you want a child to become a talent, sometimes you have to be ruthless." It was also when she figured this out that she would let Ah Chi go to Tongcheng.
Mama Gui was surprised and said, "High hopes? What are the high hopes? "A girl's family, what high hopes can be placed.
Yuchen hummed and said: "Yun Lan is capable, and with the support of Yun Qing and Han Yuxi, she may become a famous female general in history in the future." ”
Mama Gui's opinion is different from Yuchen's: "For the Wu family's money, Han Yuxi promised Yun Lan to the second young master of the Wu family. For the sake of profit, Han Yuxi sold his daughter. Does Niangniang think Han Yuxi really loves Yunlan? ”
Yuchen didn't explain too much, just said: "Han Yuxi, as the person in power, she has to start from the overall situation. Moreover, no matter who Yun Lan marries, she will not be bullied with that temperament. ”
After a pause, Yuchen shook his head lightly and said, "If someone offers tens of millions of silver to ask for Ah Bao, the emperor will also agree." "You only need to give up one daughter to get ten million pieces of silver, and what person in power would not agree!
Mama Gui felt that Yuchen's thoughts were very strange recently: "Why does Niangniang always speak for Han Yuxi? ”
Yuchen smiled, the smile was very ethereal: "It's not for her, what I said is the truth." Although Ah Bao and Ah Chi are favored, they are not as good as Yun Lan and Yun Qihao. As a mother, Han Yuxi is more successful than me. Han Yuxi protected her six children very well and let them grow up happily. And what about her? Thinking of Zhou Yan, Yuchen's heart was like a knife.
Mama Gui sighed and said, "Niangniang, why do you want to compare yourself with Han Yuxi? You and she are not the same kind of people. ”
"Yes! I'm not the same kind of person as her. This has already appeared when I was a child. When she was a child, she was deeply loved by her elders and was envied and sought after by her peers. And Han Yuxi is just the opposite, her elders don't like to be rejected by her peers, but she never cares and does her own thing.
Mama Gui said: "Niangniang, don't think about it. ”
Now that he doesn't want to regret it later, Yuchen said, "I can't make the same mistakes as my grandmother and father. "Can't let Ah Chi be like her, living under a heavy protective shell all the time, and when something happens in the future, she can only passively accept it but has no ability to fight back.
When Mama Gao heard that the third prince was going to Tongcheng, she pondered for a long time and persuaded Concubine Shu to let the fourth prince go to Tongcheng with her.
Concubine Xiang almost didn't jump when she heard this: "Han Yuchen wants her son to die, that's her business, I will never let Ah Yuan get into danger." "Tongcheng often fights, and dead people are common. She only has a son like Ayuan, if she has three longs and two shorts, she can't live.
Mama Gao persuaded: "Niangniang, the emperor will definitely send someone to protect the four princes." Niangniang, Tongcheng is very dangerous, but it may not be an opportunity for the four princes. ”
Concubine Xiang said with a cold face: "Don't say it again, I will never let A-Yuan go to Tongcheng." ”
Seeing this, Mama Gao knew that it was useless to persuade again. If it weren't for the helplessness, she really didn't want to stay by Concubine Xiangshu's side. This woman is short-sighted, never thinking only about immediate interests, never thinking about the future. In order to persuade Concubine Xiang Shu to raise the little princess, she didn't know how much she had to spend her lips and tongues. But after she was promoted, the little princess was lost to the nurse by her.
Looking at the things that Yuchen had prepared for Ah Chi, Yan Wushuang said, "Just bring a few sets of clothes for washing, don't bring anything else." "This is to go to Tongcheng for training, not to enjoy happiness, what is the big bag like.
Yuchen streamlined and streamlined, and in the end there were still two large boxes of things. One box contains clothes, shoes and socks, and the other box contains books and medicinal herbs.
Looking at his son's back, Yuchen's tears fell down the ground. In the past eleven years, Achi has never left her side. And this is a thousand miles away.
Mama Gui said with relief: "Niangniang, didn't the emperor say that he would let the third prince come back when the New Year came." "Ten months, that's pretty fast.
Yuxi didn't know about Yuchen's changes, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care, there was only one enemy from beginning to end, and that was Yan Wushuang. And Han Yuchen is just Yan Wushuang's vassal, without Yan Wushuang, it would be easy to kill her.
Xu Wu replied to Yuxi: "Princess, the 300,000 army has all arrived in Yucheng. "Yun Qing was preparing to send troops from Yucheng, but as Yan Wushuang expected, he drew 150,000 soldiers and horses from the West Sea.
Yuxi counted the days and said, "In a few days, the prince should lead the troops to the battle." "During this time, Yunqing has been in Yucheng with Qihao.
Xu Wu hesitated and said, "Princess, there is something I don't know whether to say or not. ”
Yuxi smiled and said, "Just say anything, don't have any scruples." ”
Xu Wu said: "The battle plan for this attack on the Northern Captivity was formulated by the prince alone, and the army and Cui Mo, Du Zheng and others did not participate in it. And so far, neither the army nor Cui Mo have seen the prince's battle plan. Princess, this is a little unusual. "In the past, Yunqing often made a battle plan by himself, but he would take it out and discuss it with everyone. One person is short, three people are long, in case there is a omission in the combat plan, it can be corrected as soon as possible after discussing with everyone.
Yuxi asked, "What do you want to say?" "Except for Yunqing, probably only Yuxi knows the reason.
Xu Wu said: "Princess, is there a traitor among the high-ranking generals in the army?" "Yunqing will hide it from them, but it will definitely not hide it from the princess.
Yuxi smiled and said, "You guys think too much. Even if there are traitors in the army, the prince will not hide it from General Feng and General Cui. The prince must have his reasons for doing this, you ask General Feng not to think about it. "Feng Dajun and Cui Mo are diehard loyalists of Yunqing, and it is impossible for anyone to suspect them.
Xu Wu asked a little uneasily: "Princess, is there really not a traitor?" ”
Yuxi shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be." In today's situation, as long as you are sober-minded, it is impossible to take refuge in Yan Wushuang. "They have an absolute advantage, how can anyone go to Yan Wushuang in this situation.
Xu Wu was relieved when he heard this.
After talking about business, we talked about personal matters. Xu Wu said: "Princess, I want Cheng Ze to follow the fourth young master." ”
Yuxi readily agreed: "When the war in the Northern Captivity is over, you will send Chengze to the palace!" "Among the triplets, the smartest one is Brother You'er, and he is also very sharp. If you cultivate it well, you will definitely be able to become Qihao's left arm and right arm in the future.
Xu Wu hurriedly said: "Thank you for the grace of the princess." ”
Yuxi looked at Xu Wu and asked, "Has Ling Ruoyuan written to you recently?" ”
Xu Wu shook his head and said, "No." But a few days ago, he wrote to my daughter-in-law. ”
Yuxi knocked lightly on the table and asked expressionlessly, "What did you say?" ”
Xu Wu has been with Yuxi for so many years, and he knows a little about Yuxi. Looking at Yuxi's expression, he knew that something was wrong, and Xu Wu hurriedly said: "The letter only said that the Zhao family gave birth to a big fat boy again. Princess, did he commit something? ”
Yuxi said: "An official came to him and said that he was corrupt and took bribes, and I have ordered a thorough investigation into the matter." ”
Xu Wu's face changed slightly, but he quickly said: "Princess, if this is true, it will be severely punished." "What Xu Wu hates the most is corrupt officials. It was precisely because of these moths that they lacked food and clothing, resulting in so many soldiers who finally froze to death and starved to death.
Yuxi hummed and said, "If it's true, it will be dealt with according to the law." ”
