"What time is it?" Emperor Wen sat up, because he slept late and woke up late, he was a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Emperor Wen wake up, Zhao Yuande hurriedly stepped forward to serve him to wash and dress, and replied respectfully: "It's almost noon, you are hungry, can you pass the meal?"

Emperor Wen rubbed his forehead, which was still slightly painful, and sat on the stool, with Zhao Yuande helping to comb his hair and wear the crown.

After rinsing his mouth, he asked Zhao Yuande, "What happened during the time I was asleep?"

Zhao Yuande pursed his lips, quietly raised his eyes to look at Emperor Wen, and found that Emperor Wen's face was expressionless, there was neither a trace of happiness nor a trace of melancholy, he thought for a moment and said: " The third prince woke up early in the morning, he asked the slave and learned that you were still asleep, and you left the palace without even eating breakfast, and asked the slave to tell you before leaving, because he was afraid that the prince's remnants would make trouble in the city, he discussed with Lord Feng, first go to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to control the situation in the East City, and then go to the Shenji Camp and the Nine Cities Battalion Guards to ensure that everything in the city is safe. ”

Having said this, the look on Emperor Wen's face has improved a lot, and Zhao Yuande continued: "Lord Feng has been waiting outside the hall, and Liang Bianxiu is also outside the hall, Liang Ge Lao knelt all night, looking like he couldn't hold on, and he was staggering outside the hall, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also ......."

"Okay, who else has been here besides them?" Emperor Wen interrupted him a little impatiently.

Zhao Yuande didn't dare to say any further, thought about it, and said: "It's not that no one has come here, you also know that the first day of the new year is the day when the queen mother and the queen mother summon foreign women, and in previous years, most of them were too busy to come on the first day of the new year." ”

He was excusing the queen mother and the queen, but Emperor Wen's face had sunk.

Zhao Yuande hurriedly changed his tone again: "I heard Aunt Bao say that Concubine Zhuang was infected with the wind chill last night, and she rested at the Queen Mother's place, and the imperial doctor passed on several times to see the disease, all saying that it was a rush to attack the heart and the wind and cold entered the body, and it was necessary to recuperate well, and the Queen Mother was accompanied by the Queen Mother, and the old lady Zhu came, and the Queen Mother left her down for lunch." ”

Emperor Wen's eyebrows frowned, and he was in a hurry? This cause is strange, where does the anger come from?

He suddenly thought that when he was forced into the palace last night, he heard Xiao Mencius come in and tell him that Russell, who was beside Concubine Zhuang, had sent an incense to calm the gods.

Originally, he shouldn't have sent someone at this time, but he thought of last night's banquet and suddenly asked, "Where is Prince An?"

Zhao Yuande said: "Prince and Princess An rested in the Fuhui Palace last night, and went to Ci'an Palace early this morning to pay New Year's Greetings to the Queen Mother, and stayed in the side hall to take care of Concubine Zhuang. ”

Emperor Wen nodded, he knew in his heart, he heard Zhao Yuande say that the third daughter-in-law was punished by the queen, the queen he knew, she had always been narrow-minded and could not tolerate anyone, it was strange that the third daughter-in-law would ask for any benefits under her hands, it must be that the third daughter-in-law noticed that something was wrong, and then told Concubine Zhuang these things, otherwise Concubine Zhuang would not have sent someone over so late.

So logically, Concubine Zhuang will fall ill in Ci'an Palace in a hurry, and it must have something to do with these.

Emperor Wen's brows furrowed even tighter, since Concubine Zhuang had gone to Ci'an Palace, it was impossible for the queen mother not to know the strange appearance of the Qianyuan Palace, but why did she ignore the queen mother, she didn't even come to ask him if he was exempted from the court meeting, and even he didn't go to the queen mother early in the morning to ask for a New Year's greeting, and the queen mother didn't send anyone to ask, could it be that the queen mother had anything to do with this matter?

He thought of the Zhu family again.

If the Zhu family is unwilling to accept the status quo and instigates the queen mother, the queen mother will be confused again...... You must know that the fourth child is going to marry the daughter of the Zhu family as a princess!

Not only that, the Zhu family is also in charge of the money bag of the Northwest Horse City, and the money and wealth in the Northwest Military Affairs also have to go through the hands of the Zhu family, these errands are arranged by him himself, he has always felt guilty about the Zhu family, and wants to make up for the Zhu family's efforts and seclusion over the years.

Emperor Wen struggled to suppress this thought.

It can't and won't be so, he is the son of the queen mother, and the queen mother has suffered so much for him, it is impossible for her to be confused in this kind of thing.

However, once the thought of doubt is born, it will always sprout and grow like a seed, and then slowly grow, and it will not be obvious now, but when it will grow stronger and stronger in the future, it will be too late.

……

Chanyi took the decoction in Russell's hand, carefully blew away the hot air on his head, and fed it to Concubine Zhuang one by one.

Until now, there has been no news from the Qianyuan Palace, which means that the emperor has not been poisoned.

At least the prince didn't succeed, otherwise the prince's temperament would have jumped out a long time ago.

The only thing she is worried about now is Concubine Zhuang's body.

Concubine Zhuang burned all night in a daze, and the sweat on her body wet all the bedding, and she only found out when she came this morning, so she asked people to replace the clean bedding and wipe Concubine Zhuang's body dry, only then did she notice that Concubine Zhuang's eyebrows stretched a little.

At this moment, Concubine Zhuang finally opened her eyes, although she still didn't have any strength in her body, she was able to take medicine to some extent.

She took advantage of the time to feed the medicine, approached Concubine Zhuang's ear, and whispered: "I came early this morning, I sat here and listened all morning, and I didn't hear any news from the Qianyuan Palace, thinking that no news is good news." ”

She hid all the things that were canceled by the court, and she knew that the patient could not withstand stimulation and fright, so she took the initiative to tell Concubine Zhuang about these things that could be relieved, so that she could recuperate with peace of mind.

Sure enough, Concubine Zhuang's face improved a lot after hearing this, and she nodded at her: "It's hard for you, you have to take care of me here." ”

Chanyi smiled and said: "Where is my aunt, my aunt and my mother are the same mother, my mother used to say that she had been taken care of by my aunt when she was a child, that is, my aunt entered the palace, and every festival or something new will be rewarded, and my mother also said that it was a pity that she could not enter the palace, and she could not accompany her aunt from time to time. ”

The love in Concubine Zhuang's eyes is even worse, if others get this talk, they will definitely say something to invite merit, no matter how bad it is, they must be humble to say something, and the sister of the sister's family talked about the family so calmly, so that she had some intimacy in the inner courtyard of this deep palace, as if this was not the palace, but an ordinary person's home, and her niece gossiped with herself.

She reached out and patted Chanyi's hand, and sighed: "Your child's temperament is good, I haven't been stained with the stinginess of these people in the palace, but I really don't know if marrying you to the royal family will be good or bad for you." ”

Chanyi knew that her aunt was worried about her future days, if Emperor Wen was in danger now, then the future would depend on the outcome of the battle between Chu Shaoyuan and the four princes, and people would naturally not be idle at that time, and Chanyi didn't think how comfortable she could live in the future.

She smiled and said a little indifferently: "Life is lived by people, whether it is a good life or a bad day, it always has to go down step by step, although there are some things that can not be helped, but at least you can make yourself happy in the things that you can do, everything in the world is like this, even those beggars on the street often fight for some territory, not to mention people like us who are in high positions and powers." ”

Concubine Zhuang didn't expect Chanyi to say such a reasonable thing, she couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and nodded in agreement: "It seems that my sister has taught you well, you can think like this, you can manage your life well, and it can be regarded as making your sister less worried and more relieved." ”

As the two were talking, they heard a little eunuch outside the hall singing in a sharp voice: "The emperor has arrived!"

When Chanyi heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, she looked at Concubine Zhuang, and whispered, "Auntie, it's okay!"

Concubine Zhuang naturally heard this singing, and she couldn't help laughing, "It seems that we were frightened in vain." ”

As soon as she said this, there was a gurgling sound in her stomach.

Chanyi smiled and said, "Before, my aunt said that she had no appetite to eat, but now she finally has an appetite." ”

Concubine Zhuang looked at her teasing and narrow-minded look, and reached out to pinch her cheek, "It's not a small courage to dare to laugh at my own aunt, but I don't know who came to me yesterday with a sad face." ”

Chan Yi hurriedly hid to the side with her mouth covered, and loudly instructed the little palace people who were waiting on the side: "Go and serve the chicken porridge cooked this morning, and then put the crispy and refreshing side dishes on a few plates." ”

The people of the small palace hurriedly responded and turned their heads.

……

Emperor Wen entered Ci'an Palace, and a large number of internal and external women fell down in the palace.

The Queen Mother was giving a banquet to Mrs. Zhu, and next to her was accompanied by some ladies of the family, no one expected that the emperor would come over at this juncture.

Emperor Wen first glanced at a room of people lightly, and then unhurriedly greeted the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother hurriedly got him up and asked him with concern: "Why did you stop the court meeting this morning?" But your body is not comfortable? The mourning family asked the imperial doctor to come over to show the emperor his body, although it is a new year, but he can't drag it like this. ”

Emperor Wen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his heart was already extremely unhappy.

Since he knew that he had deposed the court, he didn't even send someone to ask, and invited so many powerful ladies of the family to come.

Mo Dao didn't know, Old Lady Zhu was just a white body, and she didn't even have a seal with Old Lady Zhu, if she didn't have the Queen Mother like this, who would be willing to make friends with her, not to mention the little lady next to Mrs. Zhu who had just passed the age of the year, she was going to go out of the cabinet to marry the fourth child after the New Year, so paving the way for her, isn't this position!

Emperor Wen didn't let the ladies of the family present get up for a long time, and those ladies all maintained a saluting posture, motionless and very difficult.

When the Queen Mother saw it, she couldn't help complaining about Emperor Wen in her heart, what was he going to do? That is, to beat the courtiers, it should also be above the court, what is the matter with giving these inner house women face in her palace?

The Queen Mother didn't wait for Emperor Wen to speak, so she smiled and said, "Don't be restrained, just sit down and have a banquet." ”

The ladies of the family present smiled and thanked them as if they had been granted amnesty.
