620. Fever
As long as it is dawn, Emperor Wen will banquet the courtiers, and then everything will be unstoppable after the dawn, even if the prince really intends to usurp the throne, but as long as Emperor Wen is still alive, he is still the emperor, and he can still command the ministers.
Obviously, Concubine Zhuang also thought of this, and she hurriedly said: "Yan Yunwei is the emperor's henchman, and the Queen Mother also has some eyebrows, as long as the Queen Mother is behind her, there will be no big mess." ”
Concubine Zhuang has been able to persist in the palace for so many years, relying on the support of the Queen Mother, and it is really not easy for the Empress Dowager Zhu to be able to protect the name of the Empress all the way from Emperor Wuzong to the position of the Queen Mother.
It's just that the Queen Mother will really believe what Aunt Zhuang said?
Chanyi was suspicious of this, but she was a foreign woman, no matter how nervous and anxious she was, she couldn't do anything, so she could only sit in the Fuyuan Hall and wait for news.
And Concubine Zhuang hurriedly didn't even wear a big hat, so she went to Ci'an Palace.
At this time, it was already the fourth watch, the sky was very dark and very dark, although there were many palace eunuchs in the palace, but the palace was still very big after all, walking in the palace in the dark and boundless, so that the fear in Concubine Zhuang's heart became more and more powerful, and the cold wind was blowing on her thin body, and she was chilled.
The two palace people carrying the palace lamp hurriedly blocked Concubine Zhuang with their bodies and blocked the wind for her, but in the end, Concubine Zhuang still blew the cold wind.
After arriving at Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother was already sleeping very sweetly.
There was a very warm earth dragon burning in the main hall of Ci'an Palace, Concubine Zhuang came in from the cold outdoor and was swept by the warm wind, and instantly felt that her hair was heavy, and her eyes were a little unable to open, so she hurriedly forced the palace people to wake up the queen mother.
The palace people had been ordered by the Queen Mother before, and no matter who it was, they were gone.
At this time, the palace people looked embarrassed, and there was some pleading in the eyes of Concubine Zhuang: "It's not that the slave doesn't tell the mother, it's really ......."
She paused and looked around, before she said: "Niangniang doesn't know, on the third watch, the queen came with Princess Fengyi, saying that she wanted to squeeze in one place with the queen mother to keep the New Year, and said that in previous years, she was keeping the New Year with the queen mother, and there were so many things this year, so I also wanted to touch the blessings of the queen mother.
"Originally, the Queen Mother was just asleep, but she was woken up before she slept for a while, the Queen Mother was old after all, and she felt a little thin, and she was a little angry after being woken up, but the Queen Mother was the mother of a country after all, and she was close to the Queen Mother with a smile, and the Queen Mother had no choice but to talk to the Queen Mother for a while, until the fourth watch, the Queen Mother couldn't hold it and lay down to sleep again. ”
The palace man lowered his voice very low, and pointed to the carved wooden door of the side hall: "The queen mother and Princess Fengyi saw that the queen mother was sleeping, so they also followed the queen mother's bedroom to rest, the queen mother had ordered Aunt Shu Yue before sleeping, no matter who should not disturb the queen mother's rest." ”
This is also the reason why the palace people stopped Concubine Zhuang.
Concubine Zhuang's heart was cold, could it be that the prince succeeded in such a move of the queen?
Immediately, she immediately dismissed her idea.
No! No!
If she succeeds, I am afraid that the queen will not come to Ci'an Palace to drag the queen mother.
Concubine Zhuang immediately made a decision, she said to the palace: "The stakes are very high, if the Queen Mother knows about this matter, she will not blame me, I will personally wake up the Queen Mother and tell her, you don't have to follow." ”
As he spoke, he was about to raise his feet and enter the inner sanctum, but at this moment the door of the side hall suddenly opened.
Princess Fengyi walked out wearing a dress, with sleepy eyes, as if she was looking for a clean room at night.
The palace man hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "The princess is looking for a clean room?" ”
At this time, the queen also slowly came out of the carved wooden door, and when she saw Concubine Zhuang, a smile appeared on her face, "Concubine Zhuang's sister is also here, are you also here to celebrate the New Year with the Queen Mother?"
As he spoke, he came over affectionately and took her hand: "The Queen Mother unfortunately rested, so you can keep the New Year with me." ”
Concubine Zhuang was anxious and wanted to shake off the queen's hand, but the queen was so strong that she couldn't break free at all, and was frowning to scold the queen for being uneasy, when she saw Princess Fengyi transfer out of the clean room.
Princess Fengyi looked at Concubine Zhuang with those big eyes, and only smiled for a while: "What does Concubine Zhuang want to do?
Concubine Zhuang could say anything in front of Fengyi and the queen, seeing the two of them like this, her heart was very bright, but her mind was blowing, and she was dizzy and unconscious, she looked at the palace people: "If the queen mother is awake, she will say that I have been waiting for the queen mother for a long time, so that the mother must see me." ”
As she spoke, she collapsed on the pestle.
……
The sky lit up minute by minute.
In winter, the sky is always bright late, and it is not until the hour of dawn that the sky is considered to be bright.
Emperor Wen rubbed his eyebrows, only to feel tired after staying up all night, he glanced at the prince who collapsed on the ground, the prince's back to his buttocks were already bloodstained, and the whole person was now lying on the ground in a coma.
"Your Majesty, do you want to invite an imperial doctor to take a look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
Zhao Yuande was a little uneasy in the end, and he was even more afraid that Emperor Wen would be happy for a while now, and he would regret it later, so he persuaded Emperor Wen.
And Emperor Wen was angry with the prince this night, even if he heard Zhao Yuande's plea, he would never tolerate the prince.
He said coldly: "Let this little beast lie here to dry, I want to see if his life is hard enough, and whether he can hold it!"
As he spoke, he added: "He has the ability to launch a palace rebellion and wants to usurp power, so he has to bear such consequences!"
It's useless for anyone to intercede.
Zhao Yuande already knew Emperor Wen's attitude in his heart, so he no longer mentioned the prince, but just asked Emperor Wen: "The emperor has worked hard all night, can you rest for a while?" ”
Although it was already dawn, it was still cold in winter, and Emperor Wen couldn't hold it anymore, so he nodded and said: "It's okay, I will rest for a while, if I haven't gotten up before the court meeting, I will cancel the court meeting, and today is the first day of the new year, and there will be no important government affairs." ”
Zhao Yuande could still guess the reason for Emperor Wen's instructions, and responded: "The emperor will rest assured, and the slaves and maids will ensure that these things are handled properly!"
Emperor Wen rested with relief.
Until the third pole of the sun, Emperor Wen showed no signs of waking up.
……
Although the Queen Mother slept a lot late, she was already old, and the elderly people felt very little, and they woke up before they had the time to eat.
When eating the morning meal, the queen and Princess Fengyi also got up, came over to salute respectfully, and accompanied the queen mother to eat together.
The previous palace people made the news of Concubine Zhuang's coming clear to the Queen Mother when the Queen Mother was freshening up, and the Queen Mother made it clear in her heart, but she still didn't care, and just waited for breakfast to ask Concubine Zhuang again.
And the queen and Princess Fengyi were talking funny jokes on the side, the queen mother didn't like these two, but she didn't stretch out her hand to fight the smiling face, and the queen mother was born in the Zhu family, so she naturally had a sense of elegance, and naturally she would not deal with a queen who had fallen out of favor and an unpopular princess.
Russell hurriedly came to say: "Queen Mother, our mother suffered from the wind cold last night and had a fever, and now she has been talking nonsense in the side hall, do you want to invite an imperial doctor to take a look!"
As soon as her words fell, the Queen Mother was anxious, she hurriedly got up and walked to the side hall, and looked at the palace people who had been told earlier with some complaints: "Why didn't Concubine Zhuang report the matter of resting in the side hall early and the mourning family know?"
The palace people were speechless, she thought that she had explained the things entrusted by Concubine Zhuang to the Queen Mother, and she had long forgotten about Concubine Zhuang resting in the side hall.
The Queen Mother hurriedly arrived at Concubine Zhuang's couch, stretched out her hand and touched Concubine Zhuang's forehead, only to feel that the temperature on her forehead was terrifyingly hot, and hurriedly asked people to invite the imperial doctor to come, and instructed the palace people to take strong wine and warm water to wipe Concubine Zhuang's body.
Concubine Zhuang heard the voice of the Queen Mother in a daze, and hurriedly held her spirit and grabbed the Queen Mother's hand: "Aunt... Go to the Qianyuan Palace, the emperor, the emperor ......"
Hearing Concubine Zhuang speak like this, the queen was so frightened that she hurriedly rushed over and interrupted: "Sister Zhuang, don't worry, the emperor won't be hungry and freezing, you sent so much food last night, the emperor must have gone to bed early, and the emperor will definitely see you after you get well." ”
Concubine Zhuang was anxious to push the queen away, but the queen took care of herself and dismantled the words from Concubine Zhuang's mouth so that it was not what she wanted to express at all.
The Queen Mother saw that Concubine Zhuang's situation was so bad, and she also comforted her on the side: "Good boy, don't worry, the emperor's daily life will be taken care of, and it is only serious that you will raise your own body." ”
Concubine Zhuang was anxious and wanted to try to express her meaning, but when the imperial doctor arrived, the queen mother and the queen avoided it, and the imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse and prescribed medicine.
And this time I saw the foreign woman until I saw the three poles of the sun.
The strange thing is that the Qianyuan Hall is very quiet, and he has not come to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother, and Emperor Wen has not moved.
The strange thing is that Emperor Wen dismissed today's court meeting, but neither he nor the prince showed up, as if the two had made an appointment to be lazy at the same time.
The queen couldn't help but get anxious, whether it was successful or not, why didn't she even have any news?
The Queen Mother was talking to Old Lady Zhu here, and Princess Fengyi over there couldn't sit still, because since Old Lady Zhu came in, except for the previous meeting, no eyes fell on her.
It's as if she's an outsider, an irrelevant person, and there's no joy at all that she's about to become her granddaughter-in-law.
Feng Yi couldn't help gritting her teeth, hum, these villains will be proud for a while, and when the prince's brother is successful, they will know how blind everything they did to her before!
……
The emperor woke up slowly, and when he opened his eyes, he suddenly wanted to know how many people's sincerity would be tested by his actions.
