Text Chapter 194 Rather than broken jade
In the East Palace, the window lattice is closed, and there are countless figures standing faintly outside, guarding His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the second most noble prince in the world. Jin Zheng lay on the couch, everything around him became blurred, and the thick fog in his mind continued to gather towards him, and a trace of curved and soft black qi slowly enveloped him. He didn't know where he was, but his mind was clear. Liu Fu's anxious call sounded softly in his ears, but he just couldn't open his eyes, and his eyelids were as heavy as a thousand catties and difficult to move.
Liu Fu clenched the empty celadon bottle tightly, although the prince had already informed her of the medicinal properties of this medicine, she was still deeply frightened when she saw the prince lying motionless on the couch, and could only feel faint breathing. Hiding the empty bottle, she wanted to brew her emotions, but found that she didn't need to. Her eyes were already full of tears of fear and worry, and according to the agreement she had agreed with the crown prince before, she shouted loudly: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you! Your Highness!
The news spread all the way to the Taiji Palace, Emperor Xuwen sat on the Taiji Hall with a dark and abnormal face, Zhu Daguan whispered in his ear, and he didn't move, just like that, condescendingly, looking straight at the ministers in the hall who were waiting for the important things to start, like a five-clawed golden dragon walking on the carved beam above their heads, exuding a gloomy and majestic momentum.
"Could it be that my prince can't let the flesh of a mermaid fail!" As soon as Emperor Xuwen spoke, there was an uproar below. Li Yu, as the head of a hundred officials, and willing to be a good man in the hearts of everyone, finally asked hard in his eager eyes: "I don't know what the king said?"
Emperor Xuwen glanced at everyone, ignored Li Yu's question, and said coldly: "Retreat!" With that, he turned around and left.
A group of officials looked at each other, and groups of three or five guessed all the way to the outside of the hall, Shen Hao put his hands behind his back and strode out of the Taiji Hall steadily, and a familiar official behind him chased forward and asked, "Lord Shen, do you have any opinions on this matter?"
Shen Hao glanced back at Qian Zhongxin, sighed meaningfully, and said: "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has lost wine from time to time, there is no lack of excellence in other aspects, besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born to the queen and is the son-in-law of the king, if the prince makes a mistake, it is really ......."
Suddenly, a lot of people around came over and asked, "How?"
Shen Hao looked at everyone and said: "Yi Chu will inevitably cause chaos in the court, which is really not conducive to stabilizing my Chongnan Jiangshan Sheji, both public and private, and this official feels that the prince should be kept." Qian Zhongxin has always been a flamboyant person, and immediately asked: "Lord Shen said this, do you think that the prince is guilty of killing the king, and there is another inside story?" Everyone immediately agreed. Shen Hao shook his head and sighed: "The art of the emperor lies in weighing, if this balance is broken, what do you say?"
Shen Hao's words were ambiguous, but everyone would naturally think deeply, the crown prince had the support of the Shen family, and he happened to reach a balance and mutual restraint with the five princes of Concubine Hui, so as not to let any party have too much power and affect Emperor Xuwen's own throne. It is the strategy used by the kings of the past to stabilize the country. But for some reason, the crown prince suddenly became estranged from the Shen family, the balance was suddenly broken, and the balance was tilted in favor of the other side. Chongnan's prince either has a problem with his background or is too young. The number of candidates is the most likely between the crown prince and the five princes. Everyone exchanged glances with each other, and their eyes were silent.
Emperor Xuwen got off the sedan chair in the East Palace, his face was gloomy and almost dripping water. Zhu Daguan followed behind him step by step, his eyelids drooping without a trace of expression. When Liu Fu saw Emperor Xuwen, he threw himself at his feet, "Father......! Please, Prince Jiujiu...... The prince is innocent, the prince has always respected and loved his father, and he will never do anything to kill the king, someone must frame the prince!"
Emperor Xuwen stood still, looked at his son on the couch as if he was asleep, and asked, "How is the prince?"
Liu Fu's face was full of sorrow, and said: "Back to my father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been getting haggard and haggard these days, but his body is fine, but as soon as Fu'er woke up this morning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... I fell unconscious......" Liu Fu's tears continued to leave from her eyes, and her voice was extremely sad, but it did not delay her from expressing her feelings to others.
The imperial doctor ordered Jiang Xingdao to kneel behind Liu Fu, burying his head deeply, secretly calling unlucky, and there were four or five imperial doctors kneeling behind him, burying their heads lower than Jiang Xingdao, trying their best to reduce their sense of existence, and almost wrote on the top of their heads, 'The lower officials don't know, you just ask the imperial doctor's order'. Emperor Xuwen's gaze slipped around them, and said, "You guys tell me one by one, what's wrong with the crown prince!"
Jiang Xingdao's entire old face was drawn together, and he didn't dare to look up at Emperor Xuwen's face at all, he couldn't push it down, as long as he could keep his head, other people's heads would depend on other people's abilities. "Back to the king, the minister checked all parts of the prince's body, and did not find any abnormalities, which were no different from ordinary people. It's like being asleep, but it's hard to wake up......"
Jiang Xingdao was able to sit in the position of the imperial doctor's order, and his medical skills were naturally superb, and almost all the other imperial doctors said, 'What Imperial Doctor Jiang said is extremely true'. Emperor Xuwen said coldly, "What do you mean by this?"
Of course, Jiang Xingdao didn't know what was going on with the prince, but he couldn't be perfunctory, and said, "His Royal Highness the prince should have been greatly stimulated......
"Father!" Liu Fu screamed, "Father, you have to believe Fu'er, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a clear conscience and will never be so anxious...... There must be another reason for this, begging his father to be the master of the crown prince, the prince is innocent! Father ......" Jiang Xingdao stubbornly looked at the prince's side concubine and resigned himself to him, and secretly cursed ten thousand times in his heart, still with a respectful look on the surface.
Emperor Xuwen frowned, pondered for a long time, and said, "Leave this matter to Concubine Hui to handle, and be sure to find out to me!"
Liu Fu looked at Emperor Xuwen in amazement. Although Concubine Hui Niangniang has been in charge of the harem for many years, the East Palace is outside the harem and is not under the jurisdiction of the Inner Palace. Besides, Concubine Hui was seriously suspicious of this matter, and she actually handed it over to Concubine Hui to handle it? Could this be that the prince indicated that this matter had nothing to do with Concubine Hui, or did the monarch unconditionally trust Concubine Hui? Liu Fu thought that Emperor Xuwen would hand over this matter to the Confucian King to deal with, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that it was not good, although the Confucian prince had to use it, but after all, it was about the crown prince, and the Confucian prince had always been rejected and resisted by the old ministers in the court, and this matter was indeed not easy to touch.
Jinhuan Palace.
Shen Jiayi stood in the middle of the tall building, looking at the thousands of cornices and the busy palace maids in the courtyard of the courtyard, the almost cold wind blowing on her face, and the clarity and chaos in her mind were intertwined. From the moment the news of Shen's death came, she realized it. She was nothing more than a patheticly small pawn all these years. No...... She knew she was a pawn, but then she thought she had a chance to do her best.
Shen Jiayi knew that the Shen family had been plotting, but she didn't know that it was actually for the son of Empress Shen! Was it Shen Yuan? It turned out that there was a tacit understanding between them, so what was she? Was she a fool? Was she just trying to confuse others with a wisp of smoke? Should she dissipate willingly when the Shen family became famous?" "Hehehe......" Shen Jiayi sneered, she was a concubine, one of the many concubines, she grew up tragically in the cracks, how much effort she had put in over the years to get her out," I will not let you succeed easily, and I would rather be broken than destroyed! Even if you are all destroyed, I will not let you be satisfied. ”
"Qiuying ......" Shen Jiayi turned around slowly, and there was no trace of sadness. Changed into a gentle and gentle face in the past.
"Yes, the slave is here. ”
"There is constant chaos in the palace, it seems that the prince's affairs will not be good, and I always have some bad premonitions in my heart. Shen Jiayi moved to sit at the table, her eyes full of trust, "There must be something unusual about the fact that the king let Concubine Hui be the head prince." Qiuying, you have been by my side since you were a child, I treat you as a sister, I only believe in you. ”
Qiu Ying raised her eyes to look at Shen Jiayi, Shen Jiayi's eyes were full of worry and helplessness, "Niangniang doesn't need to be so worried, Qiu Ying will always be with Niangniang." Shen Jiayi nodded, "We must not get involved in the matter of the prince, the Shen family used to have a close relationship with the prince...... I now have the Nine Emperors and the Fifteenth Princess, but my courage is getting smaller and smaller, with Concubine Hui Niangniang, those unrealistic ideas in the past have gradually dispersed, and now I just want to live in peace with my two children. From today on, you can't leave Jinhuan Palace for half a step, and you have to keep an eye on all the big and small things in this palace, lest someone secretly do a lot of things. ”
Qiu Ying looked at Shen Jiayi's expression carefully, but she couldn't see anything unusual. said: "Niangniang, it's really hard to rest assured that the slave and maid are not by your side......" Shen Jiayi raised her hand to stop her and said, "I will pay attention to myself, but everything around me can only be handed over to you." Well, that's it. Qiu Ying couldn't hide the worry on her face, but she still lowered her head and said 'yes', and when she saw Concubine Yi call Luoyu in, the hand in her sleeve was clenched unconsciously.
Luo Yu followed Shen Jiayi in the garden with a happy face, no matter why, in short, she felt that she finally had a bright future, and kept shouting at Shen Jiayi. Shen Jiayi smiled and let Luoyu chirp in her ear, but her heart was as uncomfortable as a cat's scratch, Qiu Ying ...... He has long treated her more than the love of master and servant, and even the sisters in the family are a lot worse, but this kind of Qiu Ying turned out to be arranged by others from the beginning.
Yuan Shuang, Xia Xing, Qiu Ying, Winter Solstice. She is also the four people she just knew, and Queen Shen's methods really can't be extrapolated by common sense. She didn't even notice anything unusual about Qiu Ying. Yuan Shuang has died tragically by Li Zheng's side, Qiu Ying has been hiding by her side for many years, these two are in the bright place, where are the remaining two people?
