Chapter 102: Something
When Chen Shao walked out of the duty room, he saw four or five people standing under the corridor whispering something, looking in the direction of the palace.
He stepped further, and the men turned around.
"What for?" Chen Shao frowned and asked.
Several people hesitated, and one stepped forward.
"There seems to be an accident in the palace." He said.
Chen Shao's face sank suddenly.
Something happened in the palace? Can he not know that something happened in the palace?
"A concubine fell." The man hurriedly continued.
What nonsense! It's also called a thing!
Chen Shao was about to speak, when someone ran over there and waved excitedly when he saw them gathering.
"I know, I know, it was Concubine An who fell." He shouted.
After he finished shouting, he saw that a few of the people in this group were squeezing their eyebrows at him, killing chickens and wiping their necks, and then he saw Chen Shao standing in it, and immediately stood up and looked sneering.
However, Chen Shao did not reprimand, but stepped forward with a slightly surprised face.
"Concubine An?" He asked.
The man breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, it's Concubine An, who accidentally fell down the steps." He said.
"What about the royal fetus...?" Chen Shao asked.
The atmosphere in the Queen Mother's palace was tense, and the cries and shouts continued.
The concubines gathered under the corridor all lowered their heads, looked up into the hall from time to time, no one spoke, only occasionally glanced at each other and made eye contact, it can be seen that their expressions are very strange.
The door of the palace was closed, and the emperor and queen mother were all there.
The queen sat pale, with words in her mouth, and the queen's expression was a little depressed. The hand in front of her was tightly clenched, showing her nervousness and worry.
On the other side, the emperor paced back and forth. Listen to the crying inside.
"Can you do it?" He shouted. When he raised his feet and was about to go inside, the palace maids who had been instructed to stop him and kneel down to persuade him.
The Emperor turned back in anger and continued pacing.
"Your Majesty, please come to Mrs. Cheng."
The Queen's voice rang out.
Cheng Niangzi?
The Emperor turned his head to look at her, and the Empress sat there, her already sick face growing paler and her voice trembling.
"Your Majesty. Concubine..."The queen looked at the emperor, it seemed that she couldn't suppress her emotions anymore, and tears flowed out, "The concubine can't stand it, please invite Cheng Niangzi to come, can't she come back to life?" ”
"Queen, don't talk nonsense, what are you talking nonsense!" The Queen Mother on the side opened her eyes and shouted.
The emperor looked at the empress, but he was concerned.
Afraid...
I'm scared...
Those fragile children are like sand in their hands. It's so hard to hold and keep.
"Summoning the Cheng Clan....", the Emperor turned his head and shouted outward.
The voice did not fall. Nerian's crying stopped.
The emperor, empress and queen mother in the hall suddenly stopped breathing and looked inside.
Imperial Physician Li walked out.
"Imperial Doctor Li, is it hopeless?" The Emperor asked.
If you can't save it, you can go and invite that Cheng lady.
Imperial Physician Li also heard this meaning from the emperor's words, he wanted to laugh, but he knew that he couldn't laugh at this time, let alone that he couldn't laugh.
"Your Majesty, it's hopeless, but there's no need to invite Mrs. Cheng." He said.
Behind her was the medical woman of the Taiyi Bureau, bowing her head and kneeling.
"Your Majesty, Concubine An gave birth to a prince, but... It's stillborn. She said.
The night shrouded the palace, although the palace was brightly lit, but because of the many palaces, it still looked gloomy, the summer wind echoed in the palace, it seemed to have a whining sound, making this gloomy even more, especially today, the cry in the wind made people feel more real.
Concubine An, who is highly favored, lost the prince today, the prince who was greatly expected to be cared for by the emperor.
Concubine An, who woke up, cried to death and live, didn't eat medicine, didn't eat, and begged for death, and a bunch of people in the palace were guarding at this time.
The emperor did not stand by Concubine An, in fact, when he heard the imperial physician and the medical woman say that she had given birth to a stillborn baby, he did not come close to Concubine An.
At night, the Qinzheng Hall is more lonely in the outer palace, the doors and windows are closed in the summer, and the inner servants under the porch are full of anxiety, but no one dares to push open the door of the palace, until a group of people with lanterns come from afar.
"Queen, it's the queen's mother."
The attendants saw the person who came, whispered in surprise, and hurriedly greeted them.
Without notice, the queen pushed the door into the palace.
There were only two lamps lit in the hall, and it was dim, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and when he heard the door open, he didn't even raise his head, and he held his forehead and closed his eyes as if he was asleep.
"Your Majesty, go back and rest." The queen said.
The Emperor hummed.
"I'll look at it a little longer, and I'll look at it a little more today, and I'll be able to have less tomorrow." He said lightly.
The voice and thoughts are clear.
The Empress walked up to him, sat down on her knees, and reached out to take the Emperor's hand.
"Your Majesty, these court affairs are not something that can be reduced by looking at more today and tomorrow." "The more you see, the more you send it tomorrow." ”
The Emperor smiled and opened his eyes.
"According to the queen's meaning, the less I see, the less things I will do?" He said.
The Empress smiled and held the Emperor's hand tightly.
"The concubine wants to say that Your Majesty, don't worry, take your time." She said.
The Emperor reached out and patted her hand.
"Don't be in a hurry, I'm not waiting." He said.
The queen looked at him and shook her head.
"Your Majesty, there will be a long time ahead." She said, "Look, the concubine has been sick for so long, and now she is slowly getting better, Your Majesty, you have to accompany the concubine, the concubine also accompanies you, we will walk slowly, we can walk for a long, long time, Your Majesty, don't be anxious, don't be afraid, the concubine is here, the concubine will accompany you." ”
How long can he go?
He originally thought that he could walk for a long time, but look, his body, which was constantly suffering from major and minor illnesses, actually got a dragon son again.
He thought this was God's approval of his body, but it wasn't.
That dragon is still gone...
It's gone...
Almost from the moment he became an adult, having a child became the only most important expectation, just. Again and again. Again and again disappointed.
Now look back. His life seems to have only these two emotions, the repetition of expectation, disappointment, and disappointment, which have never changed.
In the end, it's just a disappointment, but why can't you get used to it? Why do you still want to look forward to it?
"Your Majesty, let's go back and rest." The Empress said, standing up and holding the Emperor's hand tightly. "You can't rest if you don't rest, you are not yourself, how many people are pinning their trust on you, concubines, sixth brothers, queen mother...."
Sixth brother...
The emperor is a spirit.
"Father, Emperor, Father, I know which is the Great River..."
"Father, when I grow up, I will personally go and take a walk around the map, and I will take a walk for my father...."
Sixth brother... My sixth brother....
Yes. He can't be anxious, and he can't be afraid. Without him, what can the sixth brother do, other people can take care of themselves, but his sixth brother can't...
His sixth brother can only rely on others for the rest of his life....
The emperor's eyes finally became a little astringent, and he raised his head and stood up.
"Yes, rest, tomorrow will do tomorrow." He smiled and said, "The queen is wise and true." ”
The queen smiled.
"Wise sayings should also be understood." She said.
The Emperor smiled, nodded and did not speak again, and walked with his feet raised.
The queen followed, and the attendants outside the door breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, and the lanterns led the way.
The Emperor stopped after stepping out the door.
"Who is on duty in the Imperial City Division today?" He asked.
Immediately a chamberlain came hurrying up.
"Your Majesty, little He Zheng." He said.
"He Zheng?" The Emperor read it and smiled, "That's a good name." ”
He is busy giving thanks.
"Going, He Zheng, investigate today's disaster of Concubine An." The Emperor said.
As soon as these words came out, the scene froze instantly, and even the night breeze stopped.
"Your Majesty." The Empress said softly, reaching out and pulling the Emperor's arm, "It's just an accident. ”
The Emperor took her hand and walked with his feet raised.
"There are so many accidents that I don't want to see them again."
At this time, the lights in the courtyard of the Cheng family were also brighter than before, because they had to take care of Cheng Jianniang's marriage, Fan Jianglin and the Huang family also moved in, and the crowded house seemed to be a little lively day and night.
"Banqin, you can't stay up all night anymore, your eyes are red when you look at it...."
"No, the lady's wedding dress must be driven out..."
"You don't have to embroider it."
"I'm going to watch, or I'm not at ease."
The two maidservants walked away and laughed, and all they felt was laughing at the lanterns swaying in the night wind.
It's been a long time, and I can finally feel the joy and excitement.
The maid sighed a little, since she came to this lady's side, she has tasted all kinds of fright, sorrow, sorrow and anxiety, but this belongs to the normal woman and has never been.
Although it came later, it was not as good as coming.
She looked up at Cheng Jianniang, who was walking upright in front of her, and quickened her pace to keep up.
"Lady, can you send a letter to Master Cheng and them?" She asked.
As soon as the words fell, I saw Cheng Jianniang stop and look up at the night sky slightly.
"No need." She said, raising her hand and pointing to the starry sky, "Look, the right time, place and people are ready." ”
When it was dawn, Chen Shao walked out and saw that breakfast had been set.
"Cheng Niangzi, are you going to go again?" Mrs. Chen asked.
"I'm not going." Chen Shao said, while eating slowly, paused, "Add more makeup." ”
Mrs. Chen smiled.
"That's nature." She said, telling him what she was going to give.
The husband and wife were talking, and a little maid came in quickly outside the door, and whispered a few words in Chen Shao, Chen Shao nodded, and the little maid retreated.
Chen Shao continued to eat.
"Don't worry about adding makeup for the time being." He stopped his chopsticks and said.
Mrs. Chen was shocked.
"What's wrong?" She said, her hand shaking the chopsticks.
There are too many things in this Cheng Niangzi, how many accidents and how many surprises and how many fears, since she learned that the king of Jin'an County asked to marry and the emperor and the queen mother agreed, how many Buddhas she recited in her heart, just ask this time not to have any more problems.
But every time I think about it, the most common thought is, is it really okay this time? Are you okay?
In the end, it turned out to be...
Should I say that my heart is so settled, or should I reach out and slap my mouth and scold?
"It's fine." Chen Shao shook his head and said, pausing, "Concubine An's prince was gone yesterday. ”
Concubine An's prince is gone?
"How could it be gone?" Mrs. Chen asked in surprise.
How much the emperor values this unborn prince, everyone has heard a little, the emperor values it so much, he must be taken care of properly, how could it suddenly be gone?
"It's not this one." Chen Shao said, "It's not unusual. ”
The heir of this emperor has always been rare, and he can be born and raised safely, and now he has only one son.
However, the loss of the emperor's son is a big deal for the emperor, but for them, the courtiers, it doesn't matter how many they mourn, it is enough to have one who inherits the country.
Mrs. Chen nodded loudly.
"Then what does this have to do with Jiao Niang?" She asked busily again.
Chen Shao frowned.
"What does it have to do with her?" He asked rhetorically.
Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, and then immediately lost her smile.
yes, what does that have to do with her!
"I'm so nervous." She smiled, "I'm afraid something will go wrong." ”
Chen Shao nodded, taking a sip of tea soup.
"But it does have an impact." He said, "The emperor's mood will not be good, and I am afraid that this marriage will be delayed." ”
But that's all the little things.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen Shao continued to talk about family matters.
Compared with Chen Shao's indifference, in Gao Lingbo's hall, several cases of dining were already in disarray, and the dishes, chopsticks, cups and saucers were obviously smashed.
"Why are you telling me now?" Gao Lingbo's expression was pale, and he shouted with a hideous expression.
The little guys in front of them were all trembling.
"My lord, this matter has nothing to do with the mother," the little guy whispered.
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped by Gao Lingbo and fell to the ground.
"Ben has nothing to do with Niangniang?" Gao Lingbo raised his eyebrows and blushed and shouted, "Then who is being locked up now!" ”
