Chapter 10 Acceptance
After the two of them retired, they calmly returned to Qixiang Palace as usual, and instructed the servant Jian to pick up the book and Yuehu Yuehai to go to Bitong Hall immediately to move the princess's belongings to Qixiang Palace, so that Yuegui Yueda and Yunshang would accompany the princess to stay in Qixiang Palace from now on. After that, he walked into the study and continued to review the folds, and Yanran was naturally pulled by his side.
Although Yanran felt that they were making a big fuss, the feeling of being cherished like this was actually not bad, which made her feel like a princess with golden branches and jade leaves. When she entered the study, she was surprised to find that the stool next to the small desk had become a bed, and it was a bed that allowed her to roll. Is this for her to sit or for her to sleep? She looked at Tairan suspiciously, but calmly looked calm: "If you want to sit and sit, if you want to sleep, you can sleep, anyway, it's all by my side." ”
Anyway, she didn't expect him to have any normal thinking, and she didn't bother to object. When she looked up, she found that the study was divided by a row of bookshelves, and she walked back and forth along the bookshelf, but she didn't find where the door was. But there must be a door, otherwise why would such a big house become so smaller?
With a calm smile, he pressed on the protrusion of a row of bookshelves, and one of the bookshelves moved silently, revealing a door. Yanran walked in and found that the back of the bookshelf had actually become a bedroom, with beds, cabinets and desks, and a few fresh melons and fruits. Yan Ran looked at Tai Ran clearly: "You will sleep in the study in the future?" Is it that you have nowhere to sleep when I'm here? ”
calmly couldn't help but smile: "There are more than a dozen rooms in the side hall of the main hall of Qixiang Palace, and three princesses can live." Here's for you. ”
Yan Ran was just about to ask, when there was a knock on the door outside. Yuehu reported through the door: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Generalissimo Guo Bohan asks to see you!" ”
Yan Ran was stunned, but calmly said: "You just stay here, just don't make a sound." After saying that, he walked out of the door, still closed the door, and said to the door: "Accurate! ”
Yan Ran in the small room listened quietly to the voices outside.
A sound of powerful footsteps came, and Yan Ran tiptoed through the gap in the bookshelf to look out, and saw a sturdy black-faced man in his thirties walking in and kneeling down on one knee in front of Tairan: "See His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
Behind the desk, he raised his hand calmly and politely: "Marshal Guo doesn't have to be polite, please get up!" ”
Guo Bohan stood up, but he still bowed his head and bent over, and arched his hand: "Your Highness, because of Concubine Jing's rude collision with the princess yesterday, I am here to apologize to you and the princess today. I also hope that His Royal Highness will have a lot of people, and for the sake of the little prince who has no one to take care of, don't be like her! ”
Calmly waved his hand: "Marshal Guo is serious." After Concubine Jing left yesterday, the palace and the princess did not entangle this matter anymore, how can there be a saying that 'the little prince has no one to take care of'? ”
"Your Royal Highness, yesterday Your Majesty issued a grounding order, and Concubine Jing was banned in the dormitory of Qixiu Palace, and even the little prince was not allowed to see her." Guo Bohan's face was full of shame and helplessness: "I know that she is too inferior on weekdays, and I have persuaded her many times, but Qingshan is easy to change her temperament, thanks to Your Majesty's ability to tolerate her." But this time it was the princess who offended, and His Majesty must have been angry. Therefore, I can only come to you for my humble duty. ”
There was a moment of silence. His face suddenly sank: "Do you really know that she is not inferior?" Did you really persuade her? ”
Guo Bohan nodded: "Since Your Majesty had a wheezing episode at the end of last year, she has been a little delusional, causing constant turmoil, and even affecting me, making Lieyang Hou look down on me in every way. I scolded her a few times for this, but with little success. If I overdo it, it will not only be unreasonable, but it will make her continue to act behind my back, and it will be even more difficult for me to control, so ......" He touched his head and sighed: "What a helpless! ”
"Then do you know that she tried to poison Hongu?"
Guo Bohan was shocked and shocked: "Your Highness, I ...... I don't know, she, she actually poisoned you? ”
Standing up calmly, with his hands behind his back: "I returned to the palace on the fourteenth day of the first month of the palace, and twenty days later, on the fourth day of the second month, she poisoned my food. Yesterday, your sister confessed that she had done it with lard. ”
He took out a black stone from the desk, which Yan Ran had put down casually after entering the room. Yan Ran secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, it was placed outside! But she didn't remember teaching him how to use it, and she couldn't help but feel anxious. Seeing the white-clothed fairy fiddling with the stone a few times at will, Concubine Jing'an's voice rang out: "More than a month ago, I ...... I was blinded by lard, thinking that I would make sure to be the prince, so I ...... Then let people find poison and put it in your meal...... prince"
Before he finished speaking, Guo Bohan's face was like ashes, the sweat on his forehead was dripping down, and he knelt down and kowtowed, unable to say a word. Poisoning the crown prince, this is not only a capital crime for her, but also a capital crime for hundreds of people in the nine clans of their Guo family, now that the evidence is conclusive, where can they get lucky?
sighed calmly, stepped forward to help Guo Bohan, and said: "Only you and I know about this matter, Concubine Jing'an knows it, and this palace has not even told my father." You know why? ”
Guo Bohan raised his sweaty and tearful face: "The palace ...... Your Highness, you are humble and stupid, you don't know! ”
After thinking about it, I also understood in my heart that His Majesty really didn't know about this, if he knew about Concubine Jing'an's behavior, it would definitely not be such a simple punishment as grounding.
"I have been shining on the country for more than 100 years, and there has never been a person who killed the monarch and plotted rebellion, and this palace is unwilling to break this example in this dynasty, so that future generations will point to your Guo family's ancestral grave and scold, this is one of them. Second, when the palace first returned to the court, it was the time to establish virtue and faith, and since she had not hurt the palace, the palace did not want to make a big move. Third, because Marshal Guo has been following your father from birth to death, and has made great contributions, the palace does not want to lose a loyal minister and a general because of a woman! ”
Guo Bohan was relieved when he heard this, and his heart suddenly returned from hell to his body. He burst into tears, this time he was not frightened, but moved, and wanted to kneel down and kowtow again, but was stopped by Tairan, so he just waved his head towards Tairan: "Your Highness Kuanren, Guo and the ancestors of the Guo family are grateful, grateful!" ”
Yan Ran also gave a thumbs up again and again behind the bookshelf, her brother Tairan actually had such a cunning side, which she didn't expect: give him a big stick, and then reward him with a candy, so that he can obey and dare not have different intentions.
"It's just that the poisoning of the palace can be forgiven, but the bullying of the princess can't be forgiven, so the grounding is ......"
"Your Highness, she is already dead enough to atone for her sins, what is the point of being grounded? Let her go! Guo Bohan immediately answered with righteous indignation. He had already heard that the prince was extremely protective, and everything involving the princess was executed harshly. He originally planned to apologize for her and turn this page over, but now it seems that there is no need.
He smiled calmly and nodded: "Marshal Guo, since my father was ill, the imperial court has been in turmoil, and it is obvious that someone is making waves in secret, and Marshal Guo must also know it." The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and at the critical moment, I hope that Marshal Guo will be sober-minded and support the palace a lot......"
Guo Bohan knelt down again: "Your Highness, since ancient times, it has been the duty of a courtier to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, but if there is a send, the humble position must be a liver and brain, and he will never give up." If you find the one who stirs up trouble, you will tie him to your chauffeur even if you risk your life. Please rest assured, Your Highness! "The lives of hundreds of people have been recovered, and Concubine Jing'an's mouth is still in his hands, Guo Bohan is naturally willing to let it go.
After a few more words of encouragement, Guo Bohan finally said goodbye with a frightened heart.
