At the end of the twenty-sixth year of Hongde, in the cold winter wax moon, the weather was so cold that the water vapor out of the house could form ice slag. ⊙ dream novel, .com

It is already the lunar month, and it is less than a month before the New Year, and every household is preparing New Year's goods and rituals.

Qin Ruwei, as the lady in charge of the family, is no different from the mother of other families, she does things every day, or takes her children to go to the homes of acquaintances, and this time she comes back to Beijing, in addition to going to Renwang's Mansion first, it is the Jingguo Mansion, after all, it is her grandmother's mother's family, and it can be regarded as a relative.

The days passed like this, even if it was the emperor's niece, the emperor did not summon it, and Qin Ruwei did not ask to see the emperor, but with Zhuang Churan here, he also heard a lot of news from the court.

In the past years, at the end of each year, the auspicious day will be calculated by the Qin Tian, and the Son of Heaven personally went to the Xiling altar to worship the sky, and this year, the emperor fell ill earlier, although he was also cured, but in the end, he was old, and his body and bones were not as good as before, and there were many minor illnesses and pains.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, the emperor suddenly announced in the court that this year's sacrifice to the heavens will be replaced by the former crown prince King Jinren to go to the altar to worship the heavens.

As soon as this decree came out, it was like throwing a bomb and exploding the pot.

Instead of the Son of Heaven sacrificing to the sky, what does this mean, could it be that the candidates for the monarchs in the emperor's heart still favor the former prince Xia Lanhao?

All the officials played Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.

As early as a few months ago, when the emperor was ill, Xiang Guifei couldn't untie his clothes, and he served the illness for two months, and finally got back to the sacred heart, and now he is gradually taking over the affairs of the Sixth Palace.

Qin Ruwei was also very strange, and asked: "It's not that the emperor is now more and more enthusiastic about alchemy and cultivation, it stands to reason that this pillow should blow a lot, why didn't he catch anything?" ”

Zhuang Churan chuckled: "As you said, once a coincidence, twice is not, the emperor has found out, as early as two months before the hunt, the eldest prince often appeared in the paddock, domesticated wild horses and gave them to the emperor, who knows what the truth is?" It's possible to do something about it. ”

Qin Ruwei was a little surprised: "The emperor checked it himself?" Didn't the prince hand it over? ”

Zhuang Churan shook her hand and said, "This can only be checked by the emperor himself, if the prince hands it over, I am afraid that it will cause the emperor to displease." ”

Qin Ruwei was stunned for a long time, and then understood that the emperor could open his mouth to investigate and deal with it, but if Xia Lanhao handed over any evidence, if he was not careful, he was afraid that he would go around himself, and that's it, the most important thing is that the emperor would think about it, and he couldn't wait to hand over the evidence, didn't he want his brother to die?

The emperor is suspicious, thinking about things, he may think of nine possibilities, Xia Lanhao will not do anything, but will be more stable.

Seeing that she understood, Zhuang Churan didn't say anything more, but said: "Don't worry, the prince has some evidence in his hands, but it's not the time yet, and it's not enough." ”

Qin Ruwei looked at him, Zhuang Churan shook her hand, and said: "For the opponent, if you hit it with one blow, if he has no possibility of turning over, then it is called winning." ”

Although the eldest prince saved the emperor's life when hunting in the paddock, although he was praised, it aroused the emperor's suspicion in the end, and he was also indifferent, although he also knew that the eldest prince had come to the paddock earlier, but there was no real evidence to prove what he had done, but it was inevitable that the emperor would be wary. Therefore, he is the eldest son, and such a major event as worshipping the heavens has also crossed him to let Nioh go, which can be regarded as a warning in disguise.

"Compared with the eldest prince, I think it is more difficult to break down the concubine Xiang." The eldest prince Qin Ruwei is not optimistic, but Qin Ruwei will not underestimate the concubine behind him.

Xiang Guifei is about fifty years old, at such an age, in such a beautiful palace, she can still get back the sacred heart, and the means and mind can be seen.

This woman is too tolerant and too tenacious, as long as there is the slightest opportunity, she will stand up again.

But in the same way, individuals all have weaknesses.

Xiang Guifei's weakness is that she attaches too much importance to the position that has been empty for many years next to the emperor, and her weakness is to take the back position, so that her son can become a concubine, the prince, if she is said to be a long-term heir, if she becomes a queen, the eldest prince, she will naturally become the prince in the name of righteousness.

She thinks about the position of the queen, the so-called mother is expensive by her son, and the son is expensive by her mother, and the two have always been one, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. The eldest prince is her biological son, if the eldest prince is rejected by the emperor, how good can she be? Without a son, what can she do if she is vying for the position of queen? Not to mention, the prince wouldn't let her sit in that position at all. ”

Qin Ruwei looked at him.

Zhuang Churan's voice was slightly low, and he said, "The prince plans to recommend Concubine Rui as his successor." ”

Qin Ruwei's eyes widened, Concubine Rui, she has been unfavored for many years, but she is not out of favor, the relationship between her and the emperor is indescribable, the emperor will not summon her, but Concubine Rui's application, the Internal Affairs Office will never be short or despised anymore, it can be seen that the emperor is not completely unfavored by her, just take Concubine Rui to help manage the six palaces, the person who is really unfavored will be able to win this honor?

It can be said that Concubine Rui has no quarrel with the world and no children, she will be the most suitable queen.

"Come on, you wait." Zhuang Churan hugged her and said softly: "I won't let you wait for all these years in vain, and I won't let my father-in-law and mother-in-law disappoint them." ”

Putting aside the thoughts in her heart, Qin Ruwei smiled: "Don't worry, I'm really not in a hurry." ”

"You still don't see the people of the Wei family?" Zhuang Churan changed the topic.

Qin Ruwei's face turned cold, turned around and sat on the couch, and said lightly: "There is nothing to see." After a pause, she looked at him and said, "But someone in the court has words?" ”

Zhuang Churan sat down and said, "There are two officials who tell me about human relations and blood and kinship. ”

"Does it make it difficult for you?" Qin Ruwei frowned.

Zhuang Churan patted her hand and said, "It's okay, you have been living in the Qin family in the past, and you don't know anything about your biological father's relatives, and it's normal to be unfamiliar with your eagerness." ”

Qin Ruwei pursed her lips and said, "Why don't I see you?" Well, listen to what they have to say. ”

"Don't force it." Zhuang Churan pondered for a while, and said: "Mrs. Wei's defense is not as good as that of Mrs. Wei, and she may be able to get a little unexpected news from her." ”

Qin Ruwei's eyes lit up, glanced at him, and nodded.

Those who are less defensive are most likely to say something secret.

While the two were talking, Moshu hurriedly walked in.

"It's rare to see you so panicked, what's the matter?" Qin Ruwei looked at her with an anxious look on her face and couldn't help asking.

"County Lord, Princess Ren sent someone to say that Nian Gongzi had an accident when he ran this morning." Moshu said urgently.

"What?" Qin Ruwei stood up and said, "Hurry up and prepare the car, I'm going to take a look." ”

"I'm with you." Zhuang Churan also stood up: "I also have something to discuss with the prince." ”

Qin Ruwei nodded, and the two of them didn't procrastinate, they dragged Situ Fang from Yuanyuan, and hurried to Renwang's Mansion.

As if knowing that Qin Ruwei would come, Princess Ren sent someone to wait at the second gate early, and when she saw them arriving, she led Brother Chao Nian's courtyard to it.

Brother Nian's Juntao Courtyard was full of kneeling subordinates, Qin Ruwei swept over with cold eyes, and did not stop, and went directly into the house.

When I entered the house, I heard Brother Nian'er's immature voice: "Mother, the child is fine, don't cry." ”

Qin Ruwei's heart was slightly relieved, the maid reported, and Princess Ren walked out, her eyes red and swollen.

"You're here."

"Brother Nian is okay, right?" Qin Ruwei helped her and looked towards the bed.

Seeing Brother Nian, seeing that his face was pale, Qin Ruwei's heart tightened, and asked, "What's going on?" Situ, come and see. ”

Situ Fang also knew the importance of Brother Nian, so he squeezed up without saying a word, and the imperial doctor on the side looked at him, and saw that King Ren didn't stop him, so he let go of half of his body.

"When I was running, the place away from the stall was frozen, and I slipped without paying attention, but at this time, a horse in the stall went crazy and jumped out. Princess Ren choked up, her face full of fear.

"Hasn't Brother Nian'er been inspected every day where he exercises, why does it freeze and I don't know? How can a good horse suddenly go crazy and stamped? Qin Ruwei endured her heartache and said: "There must be something strange about this matter." ”

Princess Ren's eyes were gloomy, and she looked at King Ren and said, "Lord, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, if it is an accident, if someone deliberately murders, the concubine will not be good and give up." ”

Her tone was tough, but Nioh did not feel unhappy, his eyes were equally sharp, and he said: "Check, check for this king, drag all the people who serve to the torture hall, and give this king a trial." ”

The people in the house trembled, the torture hall, that is the punishment place of the palace, and those who go in, let alone take off a layer of skin.

Princess Ren's face softened slightly, thought about it, called Mama Fan again, and whispered an order.

Qin Ruwei heard the word Luomei, and her heart jumped, I heard that Concubine Wu lived in Luomei Courtyard, could it be that Brother Feinian's injury had something to do with her?

Yes, Concubine Wu also has a son, Brother Nian and their brothers, who are the biggest threat to her son, if you say dislike, she is the biggest.

At this time, Situ Fang had already examined Brother Nian up and down, and it was no different from the conclusion of the imperial doctor, that is, his foot was seriously twisted, he was a little frightened, and he was on his ankle, so he had to carefully apply medicine to recuperate.

Situ Fang had already re-prescribed the prescription with the imperial doctor to boil the medicine, Qin Ruwei walked to the bed, and Brother Nian showed a smile: "My aunt is also here." ”

Qin Ruwei's heart was sour, and she said: "Brother Nian is so well-behaved, he doesn't cry, he is a real man, he can't run around for a while, and he can only move around when his feet are good." ”

"Hmm. I know, aunt rest assured. ”

Qin Ruwei rubbed his head, coaxed a few words, and waited until the girl came up with the medicine to feed him, and then applied the medicine to her feet, and then went to the flower hall with Princess Ren to talk.
