"How is it an official of the Ministry of Works? Isn't it to let An Guogong go? The emperor sneered faintly.

Du Ruo was shocked, forgot the rules for a while, and suddenly raised his head to look at Emperor Jinglong.

Emperor Jinglong's face was still smiling, but his eyes were like a bitter cold, and he was slaughtered.

"The concubines are dead, and the concubines dare not discuss the government in vain, and ask the emperor to surrender." Du Ruo knew that the emperor was really angry, and things were completely different from what Concubine Jin expected, and the emperor was not particularly tolerant of her because of the child in her belly.

"If you die, once is enough, you don't have a chance to die ten thousand times." Emperor Jinglong said, slowly stood up and turned around to leave, thought about it, and left four words for the woman lying on the ground: "Do it yourself." ”

Du Ruo knelt on the ground for a long time and didn't get up, and then it was her maid and a palace grandmother who pulled her up and drove her to the couch next to her. From the moment the emperor left, her face was as white as paper, her whole body trembled, and tears rained down.

She knew that even if she didn't die, she wouldn't have a good life in the future. Although she has not been in the palace for a long time, she has one thing that she can see very clearly - without the emperor's favor, life is worse than death in this palace.

After the emperor returned to the Qianyuan Palace, he immediately instructed the great eunuch Zhang Suixi: "Go and call the imperial physician Hua and ask him to go to the Guanju Palace to diagnose the pulse of Concubine Wan." ”

Although Zhang Suixi didn't understand what the emperor ordered for Lu, he didn't dare to talk much these days, and hurriedly agreed to go out on an errand.

Hua Xixuan returned from Jiangning in early June, and the reason was that Concubine Wan was pregnant.

At that time, the Xiaohua Imperial Doctor also complained, indicating that someone was much better than him in gynecology, so why did he want to let himself go back? He hadn't learned the essence of dissection yet, and he didn't want to give up halfway.

But Yao Yanyu said: Cuiwei is pregnant, and Cuiping is now going to the Jianhu Water Division to train the 800 military doctors over there, if you don't go back at this time, will you let me go back?

Hua Xiling naturally didn't dare to say that if you go back, I will go back with you, so she had to silently pack up her baggage and come back.

In the Qianyuan Palace, the emperor leaned on the couch and closed his eyes to recuperate, looking very quiet, but in fact, his heart was turbulent.

It was only today that he deeply felt the pain of being an emperor. also understood why his father, Emperor Wende, would indulge the Feng family for so long. Imagine if you send a bowl of abortion pills to Guan Ju Palace today, will you feel guilty about Du Ruoqing for the rest of your life?

Fortunately, she was only the daughter of a merchant, and her father was only a businessman no matter how rich he was.

Fortunately, she is not a queen, just a woman she likes.

Otherwise, you will have to repeat the old mistakes of the previous emperor!

It's just that the pain of being calculated and used by his beloved woman is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, which makes Emperor Jinglong's proud calmness and generosity disappear invisibly.

An hour later, Zhang Suixi led Huaxi into the hall.

"Back to the emperor, Concubine Wan Niangniang is restless, it affects the stability of the fetus somewhat, the minister has already given her acupuncture, and also prescribed decoction, as long as she has a good birth and nourishment, it should be fine." Hua Xi knelt down in front of the dragon couch and replied.

"Very good, you put everything else aside these days, and it will be a great achievement for me to take good care of Concubine Wan's mother and son." Emperor Jinglong nodded.

Hua Xi hurriedly responded: "The minister obeys the order." ”

After the emperor waited for Huaxi to come out, he coldly ordered Zhang Suixi: "Where is my milk brother?" "The emperor's brother Chen Bingyi is now the deputy governor of the Zhenfu Division, leading the crown prince to protect the title, and the original more than 10,000 Jinlinwei has now expanded to more than 20,000, specializing in the security of the palace and the intelligence inside and outside the capital of the Great Cloud Emperor.

"Back to the emperor, Chen Shaobao got up early and went out of the palace after going to the palace to ask for peace, and he should be on duty in the Zhenfu Division at this time."

"Biography." The emperor said coldly.

"Yes." Zhang Suixi thought to himself, Your Majesty, this is going to do it! Then he hurriedly turned around and walked out.

"Wait!" The emperor called people back in a cold voice, "By the way, call Yao Yuanzhi in." ”

"The minions obey." Zhang Suixi kowtowed again, waited for two breaths, and saw that the emperor really didn't have any instructions, so he ran out of the hall to pass the word.

As soon as the news of the emperor's order to raid the Anguo Mansion came out, it shocked the entire Yundu City.

The ancestor of Anguo was the founder of the country, and with the great grandfather's war in the north and south, he made great contributions.

In the eyes of those founding fathers, Emperor Jinglong had no intention of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, after all, the crimes listed by An Guogong were true of corruption and perversion of the law, but the usurpation of the country and rebellion were just unwarranted.

It is true that An Guogong formed a party for personal gain, but most of them are just greedy for money, if there is really no real evidence for rebellion, after all, the king of Hengjun is now in the imperial tomb, and Yunrui is not as weak as the crown, although he is ready to move, but the emperor has been on the throne for a long time, and he can't figure out any tricks no matter how much he tosses.

However, according to the law of the great clouds, embezzling more than 5,000 taels of silver is a capital crime, and the Anguo Mansion was confiscated. If he is really punished according to the law of the great clouds, this alone is enough for his capital crime.

The emperor decreed that the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the three divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate would be tried, and the corruption and perversion of the law in the Anguo Mansion must be meticulously investigated and handled in accordance with the Dayun Law. and repeatedly stated that the important ministers of the court, princes and ministers, no matter who was corrupt and perverted the law, digging the corners of the Great Cloud Dynasty, the emperor would severely punish them.

In this way, those founding fathers no longer had the spirit to talk about An Guogong, and they all shrunk their necks and quietly turned around to wipe their buttocks. Who knows who will be impeached next? Maybe one day the holy decree of the house will fall on his head.

The Anguo Mansion was raided, and the four women, Concubine Hui and Concubine Jin, as well as Princess Hengjun and Princess Sujun, were also struck by lightning.

Subsequently, Concubine Hui committed suicide by hanging herself.

I would like to be a madman.

Princess Hengjun cried in the house, spoke disrespectfully, and several bluffs to seek death were rescued by the subordinates, but most of her resentful words were mixed with great rebellion, and the emperor was very angry when he heard about it, so he sent someone to wear a dictation: If the princess of Hengjun really wants to die, I can give three feet of white silk.

King Hengjun received the holy decree to return to Beijing, and when he entered the city gate, he realized that his mother had been dead for seven days, and saw that the people who came to greet him in the house were holding a filial piety dress in their hands, and the king of Hengjun directly fell off the horse with an upside-down onion.

Of the four women married in the Anguo Mansion, only the princess of Sujun was quite sensible, and when she heard the news that her mother's house was raided, she did not rush to her husband Yun Kun to ask him to intercede for her mother's affairs, but sorted out the dowry property in her name and handed it to Yun Kun, asking him to hand it over to Dali Temple on her behalf, and asking the people of Dali Temple to check these things.

Yun Kun pinched the thick account book and sighed helplessly, smiled and returned it, and comforted his wife: "It is the law of my Great Cloud Dynasty that the sin is not as good as marrying a daughter." You don't have to worry about that. Your parents and family, I will consult with my father to intercede with the emperor and save their lives. Come to think of it, they really went a little too far, and the emperor was angry. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Princess Su was busy saluting Yun Kun.

Yun Kun stretched out his hand to hold her and sighed, "You and I are husband and wife, why do you need to be like this?" ”

Princess Su couldn't help but cry. In the past few years since she married into the Chengwang Mansion, Yun Kun has respected her like ice, she knows that her husband has someone else in his heart, but she can't say or do anything.

Because of that other person's noble status, her parents and brothers are extremely noble people, she can't afford to provoke her, and she can't compare. I can only endure my anger and survive in this house. After a few years, I was finally able to exchange my husband's words at this time, and my heart was extremely sour for a while, but I felt that it was worth it.

Yun Kun patted her hand and said, "You go back to rest, I'll come back for dinner tonight." ”

Princess Su hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and replied, "Then the concubine will go back and prepare dinner for the prince." ”

When the news of the seizure of the Anguo Mansion reached Jiangning, Yao Fengge had just returned to Jiangning with the children from the ancestral home of the Su family.

In fact, when he was on the road, he heard some rumors, Yao Fengge only thought that it was the matter of the Anguo Mansion interfering in the manual department that caused the Great Cloud Emperor to fall into the flood, so that the emperor was angry at them. But I didn't expect it to be a big crime of robbing the family and exterminating the family. Moreover, Yao Yanyi's letter to Yao Yanyu also specifically mentioned that the king of Hengjun fainted and fell off his horse at the gate of the city, and Yao Fengge was even more restless after reading it.

Yao Yanyu had no choice but to persuade her not to worry, he was a prince anyway, and the people in the hospital would never dare to be sloppy.

Yao Fengge only smiled bitterly, sighed lightly and then sighed: "Actually, I sometimes think that it's not a good thing to really go." ”

"How can my sister think like that?! I looked at it coldly, and King Hengjun's heart was also bitter. His princess is making more and more trouble, and nine times out of ten of his crimes are caused by the princess for him. Now that the Anguo Mansion has fallen, the princess has nothing to rely on, and I am afraid that it will not be long before she makes trouble. ”

"Her mother's house was raided, and she didn't have her mother's house." Yao Fengge smiled bitterly.

Yao Yan couldn't understand the meaning of these words, and it wasn't until she accidentally talked about the principle of divorce from Su Yuxuan's mouth that she understood that if his wife's maiden family was extinct, there was nowhere to go, and she couldn't take a vacation.

Just like a person like Princess Heng, her mother's house was raided, and if she was divorced, she could only live on the streets, in this case, King Heng could not divorce his wife.

"What a rule!" Yao Yanyu scolded hatefully.

"What's wrong?" Su Yuxuan was very puzzled.

"Nothing." Yao Yanyu sighed and didn't say any more.

When the two of them were relatively speechless, Xiang Zhi hurriedly came in and replied: "Madam, there is a holy decree here, please Madame go to the front yard to receive the decree." ”

"Huh?" Yao Yanyu was stunned, how could there be a holy decree for herself at this time?

"Quick, the lady of the service will change her clothes." Su Yuxuan hurriedly stood up and began to help Xiang Zhi and the others.

Yao Yanyu changed into an official robe, dressed neatly and came to the front yard, and the family had already placed the incense case neatly. Came and stood facing south and backing north, and said loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, and Yao Yanyu has been sentenced by the right court of the Chinese Medical Museum." ”

"Minister Yao Yanyu, take the order."

"On the day of the purpose, the Yao court will immediately return to Beijing and admire this."

"Obey." After Yao Yanyu bowed three times and bowed nine times, she stretched out her upper hand to take the bright yellow silk silk.

"Lord Yao, please hurry up and pack up, and you can leave as you go." The envoy bowed his hand towards Yao Yanyu.

Yao Yanyu smiled bitterly: "It happened too suddenly, I still have four children at home, even if I don't take them away, I have to explain to my relatives." ”

The envoy sighed in embarrassment: "What Lord Yao said makes sense, but the emperor is urging him tightly, and we can't help it." ”

"Then how about asking my father-in-law to have a cup of tea first, rest for a while, let me arrange the children's affairs, and leave in two hours?"

"That's all there is to it. Please come and go, Lord Yao. ”

"Grandpa Xie." After Yao Yanyu bowed, she hurried to the backyard.

Su Yuyu and Yao Fengge had already known the content of the holy decree and began to pack up their clothes for Yao Yanyu, but Yiyi heard that her mother was going back to the capital without taking her, so the boss pouted unhappily.

Yao Yanyu had to comfort her: "My brother won't go back, and my younger brother will also stay." Yiyi is a big child, you have to take care of your two younger brothers for your mother, and you don't allow them to make the two aunts angry, do you know the way? ”

"Okay, when will the mother come back?" Yiyi reluctantly agreed.

"It's hard to say, if things are done quickly, they may come back soon. If you can't come back for a long time, my mother will send someone to pick you up and take you back to Beijing, okay? ”

"Okay." Yiyi nodded lightly, then stepped forward to hug Yao Yanyu's neck, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, mother, I will take care of my brother for you." ”

"Good baby." Yao Yanyu kissed her daughter's head.

It was the most hurried parting, and I didn't even have time to say anything more to take care of before I got on my horse and went straight to the docks.

All the way to the speed of the horse, Yao Yanyu took Bai Ko, Yuguo and Xu Shiyang and his wife four entourages and the envoy sent by the emperor to travel day and night, and it took less than seven days to arrive in the capital.

It's just that before he entered the city gate, he was stopped by Chen Bingyi and others, and Chen Bingyi personally stepped forward and bowed his hand to Yao Yanyu and said, "Lord Yao hasn't seen you for a long time." According to the emperor's holy decree, Yao was invited to follow Chen Bingyi to diagnose a person after arriving in Beijing. ”

On the way to Yao Yanyu, there was no less speculation about the reason why the emperor urgently recruited her to return to Beijing, and she thought that it must be that the important people around the emperor were sick, or the emperor himself was sick. But I didn't expect that the capital would be taken to other places without letting me in.

However, Chen Bingyi is the emperor's confidant, and the emperor sent him to pick him up, which shows that this patient is really important. So Yao Yanyu arched his hand and said, "Then Master Lao will lead the way." ”

"Lord Yao, please." Chen Bingyi pulled the reins of the horse, recognized the stirrups and got on the horse, and took Yao Yanyu to the direction of the Cixin Nunnery on the outskirts of the city.

At this time, the area around the hermitage looked no different from usual, but in fact, there were countless hidden sentries hidden in the surrounding trees, and even a fly flying in and out could not escape the eyes of those people.

Those secret whistles are so strong in martial arts that ordinary people can't feel their existence at all, but Yao Yanyu has a deep inner breath, although he doesn't know martial arts, his eyesight and hearing are several times that of ordinary people, and it is not a problem to perceive the existence of these people.

"Lord Chen?" Yao Yanyu glanced at a big tree next to her in surprise, and then looked at Chen Bingyi. The person who can use so many masters and let Chen Bingyi personally lead the way, is there a second person in the Great Cloud Dynasty besides the emperor?

Chen Bingyi smiled helplessly and arched his hand towards Yao Yanyu: "Lord Yao, please." ”

After entering the nunnery, I went directly to an elegant Zen courtyard in the backyard unimpeded.

In the Zen courtyard, there were twenty or thirty guards on duty outside, and after these people saw Chen Bingyi, they bowed down one after another. Chen Bingyi waved his hand to signal everyone to return to their respective positions, and Fang whispered to Yao Yanyu: "The emperor has a decree, saying that Lord Yao is here, please go in directly." ”

After Yao Yanyu answered with a 'yes', she stepped forward and pushed open the door of the meditation room and walked in directly.

The layout of the meditation room is very simple, the gray carpet, in the middle is offered a white-clothed monk, there is a white porcelain bottle on the incense case for two lotus leaves and a lotus canopy, there is a book on the case, a wooden fish. In front of the desk is a cushion in yellow satin with ochre satin.

On the left hand side of a rattan four screens, a Zen bed is faintly visible behind the screen, and there is a person in a bright yellow robe kneeling in front of the bed.

Yao Yanyu hurriedly bowed and bowed: "Minister Yao Yanyu, knock to see the emperor." ”

"Mrs. Yao? Come on. The emperor's voice was eager.

Yao Yanyu hurriedly got up and turned the screen, and looked up to see a nun lying on the meditation bed, with a blue-gray monk's hat on her head and an ochre-colored quilt on her body, her eyes closed, and there was no trace of life.

For a while, Yao Yan's language suddenly became clear, this should be the legendary monk who prayed for rain for Sheji, who is the biological mother of the current emperor, Concubine Shu.

After guessing the identity of this person, Yao Yanyu hurriedly cheered up and stepped forward, not daring to be careless at all.

"Quick, let's see what kind of illness my mother is." The emperor flashed to the side and urged.

Yao Yan didn't dare to say much, so she hurriedly stepped forward and half-knelt in front of the meditation bed to cut the pulse of this concubine. After a long time, Yao Yanyu looked embarrassed, turned around and knelt down towards the emperor.

"How?" The emperor asked eagerly.

"Please forgive the emperor for his incompetence. Niangniang has not eaten water and rice for many days, and the oil has run out of light. ”

"I haven't eaten ......rice for many days," the emperor was surprised, and smiled helplessly, "The mother concubine actually went on a hunger strike to die...... How can this be embarrassing?! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to say a word." Yao Yanyu thought to herself, if the word spread that Concubine Shu died of hunger strike, the emperor's crime would be big.

At this time, there are only two of them, although these words came out of the emperor's mouth, most people in the world will not believe it, so wouldn't it become their own words? Is this worth it? If you make this kind of rumor, I'm afraid that if you don't die ten or eight times, you won't be able to get dark.

"You speak." Emperor Jinglong was now in extreme grief, and his voice was hoarse and weak.

"I heard that all the monks who have attained the Tao can understand life and death. Niangniang has practiced in front of the Buddha for so many years, she should have seen through the red dust a long time ago, and she should also understand the days when she became a Buddha on the ground, so she will go on a hunger strike to purify herself so that she can go to see the Buddha of the West Heaven. ”

If this was in the previous life, Yao Yanyu would feel that this was basically nonsense.

But since she inexplicably crossed here, she has also believed in the things of the gods, at least some things should have been predestined a long time ago. The so-called causal cycle should be like this.

Besides, most of the eminent monks are like this, they can predict the year, month, and day of their death, so they calculate the time and start not eating, first only drinking water, and after expelling the dirt in the body, they don't even drink water. Then sit on the spot and go to meet the Buddha.

So Yao Yanyu is not nonsense when he says this. At the very least, Emperor Jinglong believed it at this moment.

"Can you let her stay a few more days?" The emperor sat next to the meditation bed and reached out to hold the skinny hand of Concubine Shu.

"Your Majesty, this is the mother's wishes, and the minister can't bear to disobey it." Its practical Taiyi Divine Needle can delay death, but the patient is already in this state, or it is just a few more days of sin.

"That's what you said." Emperor Jinglong nodded slowly, two lines of tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you talk to your mother, and the minister will retire first."

"Go ahead. Oh, there's nothing going on here, you can go and see King Hengjun for me. ”

For a while, Yao Yanyu thought that she had heard it wrong, she looked at the emperor in surprise, and she didn't know what she meant.

"You passed on a word for me, and said that Concubine Hui was dead, and I knew that he was very sad. Now my mother is going to die...... Like him, I don't have a mother anymore. Still, he's happier than me. ”

Yao Yanyu tried to keep the emperor's incomprehensible words in mind, and then kowtowed again and retreated.

After coming out of the Cixin Nunnery, Yao Yanyu rode back to the capital. She didn't go directly to the Hengjun Palace-just kidding, how could she go to the palace to visit? At least go home and shower and change your clothes.

Everything in Ninghou Mansion was as before, and when the spear saw the lady suddenly coming, he was so shocked that he didn't say anything for a long time.

Then the servants and maids were busy, and the fragrant soup for bathing, all kinds of snacks and tea were all ready.

Yao Yanyu soaked in the fragrant hot water, eating hibiscus cake and drinking eight treasure tea while silently thinking about the words that the emperor said. There must be some untold stories between Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu, right?

But this is all the old yellow calendar in the past, and it is estimated that no one wants to turn it over now.

Early the next morning, Yao Yanyu changed into a clean moon-white swallow suit and rode to the Hengjun Palace.

At this time, Concubine Shu's funeral had ended, and when King Hengjun was lying in the carriage to send the funeral, he was bedridden when he came back, and only half his life was left.

Yao Yanyu's carriage stopped at the gate of the Hengjun Palace, and asked Xu Shiyang to hand over his name post, and told him that he was ordered by the emperor to treat the Hengjun King.

The subordinates of the Hengjun Wangfu did not dare to slack off, and ran in in a panic to report the news, and after a while, the middle door of the Hengjun Wangfu was opened, and Yun Yue, the eldest son of the Hengjun Wang, came out with a large group of housekeepers and servants.

Yao Yanyu looked at this situation and thought to herself, "People must have regarded me as the emperor's spy."

Yun Yue invited Yao Yanyu to the main hall to serve tea, Yao Yanyu looked at this teenage boy with a jade-like face, modest and gentle, and a moderate amount of advance and retreat, and thought that he was really worthy of being the son of the king of Hengjun, and he was as attractive as his father.

After Yao Yanyu said a few polite words to the little prince, he smiled and said, "The prince should take the lower officials to meet the prince." The emperor ordered the officials to give the prince a medical treatment, and there were still a few words to convey. ”

Yun Yue arched his hand and said: "In this way, there will be a judgment from the Lao Yao Court." ”

"Don't dare." Yao Yanyu hurriedly returned the courtesy, and she couldn't lose her politeness in front of a child.

At the door of Tongyuxuan, the king of Hengjun, Yao Yanyu glanced at the couplets on both sides, and then followed Yun Yue into the courtyard gate, and was overwhelmed by the towering plane trees in the courtyard for a while.

She never imagined that it would be so poetic for the entire yard to be shrouded in plane trees.

It was early autumn, and in the elegant small courtyard, the trees were tall, the green leaves were like a cover, and there was a wisp of medicinal fragrance floating in the blue shade, which was pleasant and a little sad.

Autumn is coming, the leaves will fall, human life is not like this swaying green leaves, the autumn wind sweeps, the first turn yellow, withered into the mud, and then silent.

"Your Excellency, please." Yun Yue saw Yao Yanyu stop, and when she looked at the courtyard, Fang raised her hand to make a gesture of please.

"Okay." Yao Yanyu nodded slightly, and followed the cloud into the door.

As soon as he entered the door, there was a strong smell of medicine, Yao Yanyu sniffed lightly, and smelled that this medicine contained old ginseng and other tonic medicinal materials. I secretly sighed, how sick this person is, and he actually uses such a heavy tonic.

As soon as he turned the screen, he saw that the smoke-blue tent was lifted by a young man with a general horn, and the sick King Hengjun sat up while coughing, as if he wanted to get out of bed.

Yao Yanyu hurriedly took two steps forward and raised his hand to stop: "The prince is seriously ill and can't work." ”

"The emperor has an edict, minister...... Ahem...... The minister did not dare to be disrespectful. King Hengjun raised his hand to hold the hands of the little boy and his son, insisted on crawling down from the bed, knelt down towards the north, and after gasping for a while, Fang said in a dumb voice: "The minister listens to the emperor's holy teachings. ”

Yao Yanyu felt that her heart was very blocked, but she still had a serious face and memorized the emperor's words word for word.

After hearing this, King Hengjun was silent for a moment, and then kowtowed: "The minister knows that the emperor has said, thank the emperor." ”

Yao Yanyu waited for him to straighten up, and then Fang arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, please go back to the couch and give you a pulse diagnosis." ”

"It is a great honor to have Mrs. Yao diagnose Xiao Wang's pulse. It's hard work. King Hengjun smiled weakly at Yao Yanyu again.

"The prince is polite." Yao Yanyu owes a debt, and when King Hengjun leans on the couch under the window, he will come forward to check the pulse.

"Take a seat for Mrs. Yao." King Hengjun turned his head and ordered Yun Yue.

Yun Yue hurriedly moved a stool to put it in front of the couch, and after Yao Yanyu sat down, Fang stretched out his hand to cut the pulse of King Hengjun.

After diagnosing the pulse, Yao Yanyu looked at the medicine residue again, and said: "Let's stop this decoction for a while, the prince is now weak and not replenished, and if you eat it according to this recipe, it will definitely be strong and not beneficial to the body." ”

Yun Yue looked at his father in surprise, but King Hengjun had a calm face and said with a faint smile: "Listen to Madame." ”

"Then ask Madame to prescribe medicine for my father." Yun Yue hurriedly arched his hand.

Yao Yanyu nodded lightly and said, "Today, the minister will first give the prince an injection, and then supplement it with a decoction, and see the effect in three days." ”

"There's Mrs. Law." Yun Yue bowed deeply to Yao Yanyu.
