Chapter 575: Beginning to Change
Sometimes life always changes dramatically inadvertently, and what I was worried about didn't happen, but I can't say I'm lucky, because something more serious happened than I originally expected, and my previous worries are nothing in comparison.
The matter of the cuckoo has not yet come to fruition, even Yufeng as he said earlier, there is something that needs to go out of the city, he just left on the front foot, and on the back foot, a news that shocked Su Yiqing came, and the Dajing delegation arrived in Yancheng without warning.
Obviously, I heard earlier that there was a plague in the town where the Dajing Mission was located, and the plague was more terrible than war in ancient times, but wherever the plague broke out, it would inevitably be blocked for more than half a year or even longer, so although there were many doubts about the intention of the Dajing Mission and what was going on with the so-called Yongxiang Hou Lady, Su Yiqing felt that this matter seemed to be far away from her, and she could worry about it after half a year, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the mission arrived.
Green vine inquired about the news, saying that the town where the Dajing mission was infected with the plague was purely a misunderstanding, the villagers were just infected with the wind cold, just because the town was remote, there was no good doctor, there was a lack of medical treatment, and there were more infected people, and then the quack doctor misdiagnosed, he thought it was a plague, and then the court sent several imperial doctors, after careful diagnosis, it was determined that this was not a plague, and a few good medicines were prescribed, and those villagers got better.
It was all too sudden.
More suddenly, in order to show the importance of the Dajing Mission, the royal family decided to hold a banquet. Because of the relationship between the female dependents, the ladies of Yancheng were also invited, and Su Yiqing, as the princess, was naturally invited.
Even Yufeng is not there, Su Yiqing has no one to discuss, but one thing is certain, she can't go to the banquet anyway, who knows who will meet at the banquet? is Yongxiang Hou Xu Zhe, who had met several times in the early years, and the cuckoo could recognize her at a glance. Xu Zhe may also recognize it.
In case of recognition. That's not a joke, others can also say that people are similar, but they are also princesses, in case Xu Zhe inadvertently said something. The speaker has no intention. Listen to the heart. When it reaches the ears of those who have a heart, it may be traced to the bottom of it.
But if you don't go to the banquet, you don't give the royal family. After all, this is the first time that the royal family has officially invited her to attend the royal banquet, and she can't just call her sick like she did with those ordinary banquets before.
Seeing that the day was approaching, Su Yiqing couldn't think of any way, she was very anxious.
On this day, it was the day when the Meng family was hired, even Yufeng was on official business, and there was no way to do it if he was not in the city, Su Yiqing went to the Meng family alone to support the scene for his younger brother.
Probably because of Meng's paralysis, Mrs. Meng was alone inside and outside the Meng family, which was inevitably a little powerless, and the scene was a little messy.
Su Yiqing saw that a little girl fell to the ground and cried in pain due to the negligence of her parents, and she couldn't help but be moved, and a plan came to her mind.
It's not a few times, it's just a bitter ploy, she wants to hurt herself a little, and it's better to be injured in front of everyone, so that there is an excuse not to go to the banquet, and it doesn't seem to hurt the royal face.
But she is in the palace, she can't be like a little girl, just fake a fall, right? The acting must also be realistic, otherwise it will be easy for people to see the flaws.
What is the best way to do it?
Su Yiqing didn't know how to get injured for a while so as not to look fake, fake falls are not possible, if you really fall, it is all flat here, it is not easy for a person to fall and injure himself, where there are steps, there are a bunch of maids around to help, it is estimated that her body is slightly crooked, and those maids can rush up to catch her, and it is not easy to fall.
Or maybe when you were eating, you deliberately knocked over some hot soup? Burn yourself? Su Yiqing immediately denied this idea, it is easy to leave scars if you are burned, for women, she still cares a lot about her appearance, even if the burned part is not easy for outsiders to see such as hands.
In these years, other ladies have tried their best to hope that nothing will happen, but Su Yiqing is thinking about how to get herself hurt, and she feels a little sad when she thinks about it.
Full of concern, she avoided the crowd and walked around the backyard, wanting to be quiet.
Sometimes the opportunity comes inadvertently, as soon as she walked to the backyard, she heard an exclamation from the little maid beside her, and looked up, only to see a little boy of four or five years old climbing on a tree, and the branch that supported him was obviously a little unable to bear the weight, making a slight snapping sound, as if it was about to break.
said that it was too late, it was fast, Su Yiqing didn't have so much at that time, and rushed forward with this instinct.
In the exclamation of a group of maids, the little boy fell down and was just caught by Su Yiqing.
In fact, the tree was not very tall, the little boy was not very heavy, and Su Yiqing was not a completely powerless woman, so she didn't do anything, but at that moment, her heart moved, and then she exclaimed, and rolled to the ground with the little boy in her arms, making a painful sound.
When the maid and a few women who were also in the backyard rushed up, her first thought was, they all said that good people have good rewards, she is now doing good deeds, and the righteousness and courage of her previous life should always let her have some returns, keep some injuries, and avoid this catastrophe, right?
After a period of panic, Su Yiqing lay on the couch, in fact, she didn't feel that the injury was particularly serious, but her arms and legs were faintly painful, and her intuition told her that she didn't hurt her muscles and bones, but this was an opportunity, whether it hurt or not, she just said that it hurt.
The doctor came in a hurry, there was no modern scanner in ancient times, Su Yiqing said that it hurt, and the doctor said that it was serious, and prescribed a few prescriptions, a bunch of tonics, and then there was a treatment plan for not getting out of bed and walking around in the short term.
As soon as Fang Zi opened, Su Yiqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was a blessing in disguise, there were so many people to testify, she was injured, and the injury was not light, obviously she couldn't go to the banquet to welcome the Dajing Mission.
It's just a little sorry for the Meng family, she saw that Mrs. Meng's face was completely black, after all, on the day of the next hire, before the dowry went out, this kind of thing happened, how is it not a good omen.
Perhaps it will have to be compensated in other ways in the future.
And the Guojun Palace. It was precisely because King Guojun came back suddenly and was able to send his daughter out of the cabinet in person, Princess Guojun was a little relieved, and at the same time, when she heard the maid report about it, her face immediately darkened.
What's going on with the Meng family? If you do it like this, does it mean that this family affair is not good? Before his daughter passed the door, the eldest sister was injured in the Meng family, or in order to save the injuries of other children, it is not very good for the people to say that this family affair is not very good. It had to be postponed. It's best to choose another auspicious time.
This kind of thing is generally raised by the man, and as a woman, it cannot be brought forward on the initiative, and the man's family does not mention it. I just don't mind. Her woman's family can't even be mentioned.
But this kind of thing. It's not that it's expired, and if you don't mention it now, it means that you're generous. In the future, the Meng family will have three disasters and eight tribulations, and it is estimated that this battle will be counted on their daughter's head.
Although the master of the Meng family has become like this now, the Meng family has nothing except for a noble in-law, but in the end, the daughter-in-law is easy to get angry in the in-law's family.
Princess Guojun felt breathless when she thought about it, and wanted to put her mind down and push the marriage date again, but King Guojun and Old Concubine Xue disagreed.
King Guojun has just come back from outside, this time to welcome the Dajing mission can be said to be nine deaths, it is an assassin and a plague, it is easy to pick up a life, when he returns home, he wants to give birth to a little bit, he doesn't want to toss, his daughter's marriage is ready, and he will get on the sedan chair in a few days, and then find an excuse to push it back, it is a bunch of troubles, he really has no strength.
And the old lady Xue thinks that this family must not be changed, Princess Guojun is dissatisfied with the family affairs, and she can't change it, sooner or later, why bother to have branches, and have nothing to do? If the relationship between the two families is stiff, it will not be his daughter who will suffer at that time? There are also people who are like the head of the Meng family, and the Guojun Wangfu will find an excuse to postpone the family affairs again and again, which will have a bad impact on the outside world.
King Guojun and Old Concubine Xue did not support it, and Princess Guojun naturally couldn't insist, and secretly wronged her daughter.
Probably misfortune is foreshadowed,
The second day was the day when her daughter was about to leave the cabinet, and Princess Guojun did not go to the royal banquet and stayed at home to prepare her daughter's family affairs.
Although the state affairs are heavy, but this kind of banquet, Guojun Wangfu has Guojun Wang and Xue Lao Concubine two people to go, there is no need for the whole mansion to go out, besides, the number of places at the banquet is limited, and the ladies of the whole mansion are to go, but I am afraid that there will be more people.
However, on that day, Princess Guojun did not wait for her husband and mother-in-law to come back to discuss the next day's family affairs, until midnight, she felt that something was really wrong, and asked the servants to go to the palace gate to inquire to see why King Guojun and Old Concubine Xue did not come back, whether they were drunk in the palace, and why no one said back and forth?
After the servant went, he came back for several hours, and when he came back, he was very panicked, and told the princess of Guojun that there seemed to be a big incident in the palace, and she didn't know what was going on, but she only knew that a large number of guards surrounded several palace gates, and they were not allowed to go out or enter.
The servant saw it from afar, and it seemed that there were several waves of servants from other mansions to inquire about the news, but he was controlled, he was clever, and he didn't dare to approach when he saw this, so he watched from a distance, and saw that the situation was really not good, so he could only rush back.
When Princess Guojun heard the news, her first reaction was, such a big battle, shouldn't there be a palace change?
A few years ago, when the competition for the heir was fierce, it was also like this, the palace gate was closed, and no entry or exit was allowed.
If the palace changes, the princes and ministers who go to the banquet may have to suffer, especially those who are brainless, and they may be worried about their lives.
The palace couldn't inquire, so Princess Guojun thought about going to a few mansions she knew to inquire about to see if the old men and wives of their family had returned.
didn't wait for her to send someone to inquire, but those families sent someone to inquire like her first, and they didn't know the news.
Seeing that her daughter is about to leave the cabinet, and her father and grandmother have not returned, what should I do about this family matter? Princess Guojun is worried about both King Guojun and the wedding.
It made her think of someone who could inquire, and it didn't matter if she was familiar with it or not, she hurriedly sent someone to Dingwangfu early in the morning.
When Su Yiqing received the news, she was immediately shocked again, and hurriedly asked Lu Teng, did she know anything?
Green vine shook his head, saying that the prince was not in the mansion, and no one in the mansion went to the palace to participate in the banquet, and he didn't pay attention to it, and now he heard Princess Guojun say that, it was indeed wrong, and he wanted to send someone to inquire.
Su Yiqing's heart suddenly lifted, she knew that there must be something strange about this Dajing Mission, it would not be a smooth visit and a smooth return, but she didn't expect that something happened at the banquet.
Anyway, the palace is heavily guarded, what can happen?
Could it be that those assassins who assassinated the mission failed to make several assassinations along the way, and actually did not succeed in the royal banquet?
Although it is more difficult, it is not impossible, and what more effective way to sow discord between the two countries is than to assassinate the envoy at a banquet? If the envoy is assassinated, and Da Zhou can't give Da Jing a satisfactory explanation, even if the Da Jing royal family is now weak and urgently needs Da Jing's help, it is unlikely that it will swallow this breath when nothing happens, and there must be pimples in each other's hearts.
Several assassinations along the way were unsuccessful, maybe it was just smoke, what they had to wait for was this moment, it was also killing, and timing was very important.
Different occasions can have different effects, and the current effect is undoubtedly the best.
waited until noon, and there was no news, but the Meng family's wedding banquet was about to start, she was injured, so it was naturally inconvenient to go to the banquet, but the congratulatory gift was to be given, but the congratulatory gift had not yet gone out, but the Meng family sent news.
The family affair was suspended, and the reason was very simple, the woman didn't know what was going on, King Guojun and Old Concubine Xue went to the banquet last night and never came back, not only the Guojun Palace, but also several ministers, several of whom were also guests who were going to attend the wedding of the Meng family.
Now the people in the city are panicking, everyone doesn't know what's going on, but the situation is wrong, it's certain, and even the timid people have ordered people to prepare carriages to go out of the city to avoid it, lest if there is a palace change, it will cause trouble to the people.
Probably because Lian Yufeng is the emperor's confidant, it wasn't that someone came to Dingwangfu to inquire about the news, but Su Yiqing, like those people, didn't know anything at all.
Even Yufeng is not there, and the news that Green Vine can hear is very limited.
After waiting for another day, until the early morning of the second day, there was finally news, it was not a palace change, but it was also very serious, it was indeed an assassination incident, but the object of the assassination was not the Dajing Mission, but the Great Zhou Emperor.
To be precise, it was someone in the Dajing mission who assassinated the emperor, and how he did the assassination, and he couldn't find out for a while, but he knew that the emperor was seriously injured and worried about his life...... (To be continued.) )
