Chapter 30: The Embrace of Two Wise Women
After the events of that day, Mingmei and Xiao Han all disappeared in front of Xia Nanyue, and it didn't take long for Xiao Han to go to court. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Xia Nanyue felt that she hadn't been to the General's Mansion for a long time, so she took Xiaoman, Luluo and Yulan back to the General's Mansion.
As soon as they entered the General's Mansion, Luluo and Magnolia played, Xiaoman was also called by Wang's mother to eat the freshly made pastries, and Xia Nanyue was just able to chat with her mother cleanly.
"Where's my father?" Xia Nanyue looked around, "Where's my brother?" β
"I went back to southern Xinjiang, and the princess went with me."
"What?!" Xia Nanyue's hand that picked up the teacup shook and accidentally spilled it, she didn't feel it when she was burning her hands, and continued to ask, "When did you leave?" Why don't you tell me about it? What's going on in southern Xinjiang? β
Gu Yue covered the hand that had been burned red with her cold hand, trying to reduce Xia Nanyue's pain, and said slowly: "A few days ago, I also forgot, because I was in a hurry, and I didn't tell you the secret decree." β
Xia Nanyue became suspicious and asked, "Emperor Jing's secret decree?" The secret is not to let King Chen know, right? β
Gu Yue's eyes were as pale as snow, and she said coldly: "Yes, there will definitely be a fierce battle between the prince and King Chen, so let your father go to southern Xinjiang, leave me in the capital, and let Princess Yining watch your brother, I have to say that this prince is really thoughtful." β
Gu Yue's face was close to Xia Nanyue's eyebrows, in Xia Nanyue's impression, her mother has always been light and light, today must be this prince is indeed very tricky, then, Xia Nanyue didn't dare to think about it, and asked hurriedly: "Then will my father and brother be in danger?!" β
"Not for the time being, he is still the prince, what can he do with your father? But you, King Chen, must be careful, does King Chen have any plans? β
Xia Nanyue didn't hide it, this was her mother, and she came as soon as she opened her mouth: "I asked King Chen to collect the henchmen of the abolished prince in the court, now is a good time, and King Chen has the support of the Ming Marquis Mansion, so it should develop slowly, right?" β
Gu Yuexiu raised her eyebrows and said strangely: "Slowly? King Chen still has that patience? β
Xia Nanyue smiled awkwardly, withdrew her hand, muttered at the back of her hand, which was still a little red, and waved her hand: "No, I guess, is it possible that he still wants to force the palace?" β
As soon as the words came out, Xia Nanyue covered her mouth with her hand, looked at Gu Yue with a calm expression, but seemed to agree, so she asked in disbelief: "Really?" Why do you think so? β
Gu Yue received a report early that in the palace, Concubine Ming was changing a large number of palace maids, and said with a straight face: "What he forced is not Emperor Jing's palace, but the prince's palace." When Gu Yue said this, the color of her eyes changed and changed, she was thinking in her heart that Concubine Ming did this, I don't know if she will regret today's actions when she knows that King Li is her son in the future, is it also the greatest sorrow of a mother for her son like this, but she also did too many things that violated the principles of heaven in order to take revenge on Jinghe at that time, so it can be regarded as retribution, right?
"Mother? Mother? What are you thinking, I'm asking you. β
"Oh, I'm just thinking about King Chen's chances, do you think that's good?"
Xia Nanyue puffed out her cheeks, her mother now often guides herself to express her opinions, and cultivates herself in this direction, really, I don't want to mix into this troubled water, there is no way, now I can't come out of it, I said helplessly: "It's definitely not good, even if it succeeds, it's a bad reputation for seizing the throne, didn't his father just give the throne to his younger brother, how good is this." β
"yes."
"You don't want the crown prince to give him the throne at the end, do you? In that case, the prince must not die prematurely for many years, and no one will pass on the prince to him, right? Xia Nanyue said that in the end, she was like a deflated ball.
"Then what do you think of Emperor Jing?"
Xia Nanyue rolled her eyes, looked at Gu Yue, who was about to serve tea with a smile on the corner of her mouth, thinking about the possibility of Emperor Jing's succession, Xia Nanyue, who still felt that it was unlikely, said: "It's impossible for Emperor Jing to do this in order to return the throne, right?" Unless he abolishes the crown prince, King Lichen, but now that he is in such poor health, the prince's momentum is booming, I'm afraid he is powerless, right? β
"Then we have to find a way, if after Emperor Jing makes this holy decree, King Chen's men and horses can withstand the current prince's men and horses."
Xia Nanyue shivered all over, isn't this still a vicious battle, what's the use of establishing a prince, whoever has more soldiers can sit on that chairγγγγ but on the battlefield, capture the thief and capture the king first, if the prince can be removed, isn't it a group of dragons without a leader.
"You're trying to kill the prince, right?" Gu Yue put down the teacup, looked at Xia Nanyue who was deep in thought, and said, "Oh, I won't be called the prince at that time." β
"That's right, then it's not a forced palace, but how can you say that Emperor Jing can pass the throne to King Chen?"
Gu Yue's eyes began to become cold, and her voice was also unwarm: "You don't care about this, you will know soon, you just need to tell King Chen to wait patiently, don't act rashly, and just collect people's hearts." β
Xia Nanyue asked with a smile: "Mother, mother, can you introduce all your informants to me?" β
"Wait for a certain time, wait for you to become a queen." Gu Yue caressed Xia Nanyue's face affectionately, but she was thinking about how to calculate the past things clearly, Concubine Ming helped King Chen arrange the troops in the harem, and she deserved retribution, but what about the queen, it is better to leave it to King Chen to deal with After all, but how to skillfully convey the past to King Chen, thinking of this, Gu Yue looked at Xia Nanyue's eyes a little light.
"Yue'er, you said the emperor was sick?"
"Yes, Mother, don't you see? listless. β
Gu Yue pretended to ponder and said, "I know, isn't it just a few days ago, because of the explosion, I was angry, didn't the imperial doctor say that it was okay?" β
"The word in the palace may have changed after a few people, right? And it's not just me, King Chen and Mingmei have noticed it, and it seems to be getting more and more obvious recently. β
Gu Yue frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You say so, I have some impressions, just that palace banquet, it doesn't look very good, this look, I always feel that I have seen it somewhere?"
"Huh?" Xia Nanyue's heartbeat slowed down, and Gu Yue said, "I remember, it was King Chen's father who also died of this disease." β
After Xia Nanyue got the news, she frowned, thinking in her heart, could it be a family disease? But it didn't seem to be a serious illness, so he muttered, "At that time, the imperial doctor didn't diagnose it?" β
"No, he died in the end, those imperial doctors are all famous imperial doctors, so it may not be a disease, right?" Gu Yue is also very cooperative, in fact, she is guiding her daughter.
"The famous imperial doctors have not diagnosed the disease, so, are those imperial doctors still alive? Maybe we can ask about the specific situation at that time. β
"Of course they are alive, these people are imperial doctors, only for the emperor, the queen's mother, even the most favored Ming Guifei, is only treated when she was born when Princess Yining was born."
Gu Yue saw that her smart daughter had already frowned, savoring the connection in these words, so she didn't say more, if she said too much, she would lose, Xia Nanyue did suspect in the imperial doctor, she always felt that Emperor Jing's illness was a little strange, such a burly man was pale after he came back four years later, and sometimes he looked depressed, but even the imperial doctor couldn't diagnose the disease, whether he didn't want to diagnose or couldn't diagnose. Thinking of this, Xia Nanyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and then became cold, there must be something wrong with the imperial doctor.
Xia Nanyue's heart seems to be pinched by countless people, in this palace, as her mother said, it is the gladiatorial arena of human nature, you must be vigilant everywhere, you can't trust anyone, but why are there still so many women who want to enter the palace?
Xia Nanyue stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples, looking a little tired, Gu Yue comforted softly: "Tired? Why don't you take a break? β
"No, mother, I will go and tell King Chen what you mean, I am afraid that his temperament will make some big moves to startle the snake."
"It's okay," Gu Yue still wanted to say Gu Moyan's letter, but now it seems that her daughter has adapted to this life, if she can stop in front of King Chen, it is actually very good, Gu Yue swallowed Gu Moyan's words that he was preparing to improve his martial arts and war books, and planned to challenge the four clans. If two people really keep parting, their fate will definitely change, and they don't care about these conveyances of their own.
"Xiaoman!!" Xia Nanyue and Gu Yue walked slowly to the gate of the General's Mansion, Xia Nanyue did not call someone to call Xiao Man out for her, but chose to shout loudly by herself. In fact, this is just taking such an opportunity to cry out the suppressed resentment in his heart.
Within a few seconds, Xiao Man hurriedly came to Xia Nanyue's side, Xia Nanyue gave Xiao Man a look, and Xiao Man began to shout the names of Pothos and Magnolia.
After a while, Luluo was still complaining that Xiaoman's cry was like the sound of killing pigs, and Yulan trotted with her skirt, and said breathlessly: "Madam, Miss." β
Gu Yue smiled and said, "Why are you running in such a hurry?" β
"It's not like he's urging him," Green Pothos pointed to Xiaoman's disgruntled protest.
Gu Yue frowned and smiled, with this girl and Xiao Man here, her daughter's life in Chenwang's Mansion must not be so boring and dull.
Xia Nanyue said to Gu Yue: "Then, mother, I'll leave first, and I'll accompany you another day." Saying this, Gu Yue waved her hand, and Xia Nanyue didn't say that her father and brother were not there, you have to take good care of your body and so on, she knew that Gu Yue actually understood, but the thoughts and bitterness in her heart were unwilling to listen to her, because of this imperial power, the general's mansion has become a pawn under the imperial power, probably since the time of her mother, so her mother felt that no matter how comforting words she heard, it would only help.
Xia Nanyue took a step, turned around again, hugged Gu Yue, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
This is a hug between two smart women, they both understand the meaning of this hug, but Xia Nanyue at this time is still young after all, she just understands the misery of the General's Mansion as a chess piece, she can't accurately see the fate of the General's Mansion in the future like Gu Yue, and she won't think that after she becomes the queen, she still can't keep her family.
