273. Chapter 273
Because of Yifei's death, Cai Wei began to wonder about the problem of how women can live better in this world.
But before she could think about it for a few days, Empress Dowager Sun suddenly sent someone to pass on an edict, saying that tomorrow would be the seventh day of Emperor Daxing's tail, and after a series of rituals on the seventh day, she would send Emperor Linde's Zigong to Wan'an Temple, which was only separated by a wall from this palace. Although Princess Linchuan is pregnant, it is not appropriate to cry in front of the spirit of the first emperor, but because Emperor Linde loved the nephew of King Linchuan the most during his lifetime, he ordered her to wear filial piety clothes tomorrow and send Emperor Daxing's Zigong to Wan'an Temple for King Linchuan.
The wording of this edict was strange and somewhat inconsistent, but Cai Wei had to do as she was told. The next morning, he waited at the south gate on time, and was surrounded by a large number of people, followed by a group of ministers, and sent the Zigong of Emperor Lin De to Wan'an Temple.
She knew that Empress Dowager Sun suddenly sent such an envoy to her, it would definitely not be as simple as just asking her to send a spirit for her husband, there must be something else. After Emperor Linde's Zigong was placed in Wan'an Temple, he wanted to go back, so as not to give birth to anything else.
But Mama Gui, who escorted her, disagreed, and her old face smiled like a flower, and she was very eager to ask her to have some refreshments in a Zen courtyard and rest for a while before leaving, saying that she was afraid that if she was tired, or the little prince who starved her stomach, they could not afford it.
Cai Wei sneered in her heart, that short section of the road, she couldn't get tired at all, where did she need to rest? Besides, if you are really afraid of her, why do you have to pull her out and sneak around like this? Since she is not allowed to go, she can only come and be safe, and by the way, see what kind of crooked brains these people want to use?
Seeing that half an hour passed like this, but no accident happened, except for hearing someone shouting a few times "Your Highness, Your Highness......", Cai Wei didn't hear any other movement.
On the way back, seeing that Mama Gui finally didn't follow Princess Zhou's side anymore, Mama Ma dared to tell her the news that had just happened.
"You mean His Royal Highness King Yingchuan suddenly fainted?"
Cai Wei felt that this matter was a little strange, Empress Dowager Sun had promised the ministers before, once Emperor Linde's seventy-seven had passed, and the matter of stopping the spirit was over, she would hold the enthronement ceremony of King Li Yingchuan as the emperor, this old woman didn't want to do anything again, so that this enthronement ceremony couldn't be done for a while, right?
Although she was worried about this, she was not overly nervous, after all, Cui Xiang was not a fool on his side, and she knew that the more time like this, the more she had to protect his future emperor and son-in-law, and she would definitely take precautions.
Cai Wei is still very confident in Cui Xiang's methods, one is a thick black minister who has been in charge of the court for 20 years, and the other is a black belly inner prison who has been in charge of the palace ban for 30 years, so that the two old foxes together, plus King Yingchuan himself is a smart person, will he not be able to see through the little tricks of the Empress Dowager Sun, and fall into her way?
As a result, this time, King Yingchuan and Cui Xiang seemed to be really in love with the old woman Empress Dowager Sun. Since King Yingchuan fainted in Wan'an Temple that day, he has been suffering from abdominal pain and diarrhea, and he is sick in bed. Empress Dowager Sun sent someone to ask several times, saying that all the matters for the enthronement ceremony were ready, and asked when it would be held, but the people who were going to ascend the throne were sick like that, could it still be held?
What Cai Wei didn't expect was that even she fell for Empress Dowager Sun's tricks.
On the third day when King Yingchuan fell ill in bed, he was finally diagnosed by the imperial doctor that he was not a recurrence of his old disease, but was poisoned. Then someone jumped out and said that His Royal Highness King Yingchuan had never eaten anything outside except for eating a piece of dim sum given to him by Princess Linchuan on the day he sent the spirit to Wan'an Temple.
So the black cauldron that maliciously poisoned the heir to the throne, King Yingchuan, was detained on the head of the pregnant Princess Linchuan.
Cai Wei felt that Dou E was not so wronged by her, the dim sum she ate in Wan'an Temple that day was still given to her by others, she didn't dare to eat it herself, she didn't move a bite and put it on the table, how dare she order someone to give it to King Yingchuan to eat, isn't that brain water? This shows that someone deliberately framed her in her name.
But this framing that seems obvious to her is really believed.
Because in terms of motivation, it is completely reasonable, as long as King Yingchuan dies, then isn't the throne of Yan Qin the King of Linchuan? Even if Princess Linchuan didn't want her husband to sit on the throne of the emperor, she definitely wanted her son to be a prince or something, so she took advantage of everyone to go to Wan'an Temple to send the spirit, and by the way, she sent a box of poisonous snacks to King Yingchuan.
It's just that some people ask more carefully, and they feel that Princess Linchuan's poisoning method is too rough and simple, and she suddenly reveals her own mastermind, which is really not enough to see, will there be something hidden? will also be said by others: "Women, aren't they all like this, with long hair and short knowledge, in addition to being jealous, how can they have the brains to come up with tricks and tricks?" ”
So when the tunnel dug by the red lady was still a day away from digging Cai Wei's bedroom, their princess Zhou was moved to another place, and she was charged with poisoning the new emperor and was imprisoned in the prison in the northwest corner of the palace.
Cai Wei, who was imprisoned for the first time in her life, was reclining on the comfortable bed in the prison, and Mama Ma was sitting on the small pestle next to the bed and pinching her legs.
This pregnant woman will have some edema on her legs in the later stage, this Ma Ma naturally knows, but why does a big man in the king of Linchuan know so clearly, and when he gave her the order back, he didn't forget to add such a sentence at the end, ordering her to pinch the princess's legs more, and not allow her to read too many books or do more needlework, in a word, don't let her be tired, and must wait for his baby princess to be comfortable.
But no matter how hard she waits for this noble princess, who will feel comfortable living in this prison? Mama Ma pinched Cai Wei's legs hard, and at the same time wanted to cry in her heart, so she could only explain to her without stopping.
"Princess, you asked me if this matter is related to the Queen Mother, this old slave really doesn't know! You said that if the old slave knew in advance, would the old slave dare to tell you early in the morning? ”
"Niangniang, you know, that Mama Gui is the celebrity next to the Queen Mother, a real confidant, compared with her, the old slave is just a miscellaneous errand, the old slave also asked her, but she couldn't ask anything. In fact, according to the old slave's shallow opinion, I'm afraid that this thing has nothing to do with the Queen Mother, it was all made by Cui Xiang's group. ”
When Mama Ma said this, she paused, and secretly glanced at the look on Cai Wei's face, and saw that her eyes were still half-closed, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows did not change at all, and she still looked indifferent before. But the more calm the princess was, the more Mama Ma's heart tightened, she swallowed her saliva, and when she continued, she unconsciously lowered her voice a little.
"Niangniang, look at it, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan won several battles in the southeast, and he took Jinling back by surprise. Although Zhejiang is still occupied by the Tartars, it has been surrounded by His Royal Highness's men and horses, and it will be a matter of time before it is taken back. His Royal Highness is so brave and invincible, and has made such great feats, can King Yingchuan and Cui Xiang not be afraid of him? ”
"That's why I came up with that kind of trick, deliberately saying that he was poisoned and blamed on the mother, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was not to deal with His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan, for fear that he would come back to grab the throne, so he first buckled a big hat that poisoned the new monarch. The Queen Mother wanted to protect you, but unfortunately she couldn't withstand the pressure of the courtiers, and she was forced to lock you in. But Niangniang, you see, even if you are imprisoned in the prison and live in a worse place, the treatment you deserve, the food and the use are all the same as before, they are the best in this palace, and the old slave is specially sent to serve you carefully. It can be seen that you have the weight in the heart of the Queen Mother, and her old man is absolutely reluctant to let you have an accident! ”
Although Mama Ma's tirade is also a little reasonable, Cai Wei has not thought of this possibility, but for some reason, maybe it is a woman's natural intuition, Cai Wei always feels that this matter is not Cui Xiang They are playing some bitter tricks, but that she and King Yingchuan were both yin by the Empress Dowager Sun.
But what is the purpose of this old woman's doing? In addition to being able to prevent King Yingchuan from ascending the throne, what is the purpose of dragging himself into the water? If you really want to get rid of yourself, why bother so much, you have locked yourself up in a prison, and you have all kinds of preferential treatment, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this Empress Dowager Sun?
Could it be that her real purpose is not to use herself to contain Qin Fei, but to ......
But if this is the true intention of the Empress Dowager Sun, she would have to wonder if this old woman is crazy.
It doesn't matter how the Empress Sun and Zuo Xiang's people calculated, they just said that the matter of her being imprisoned in the prison itself, once Qin Fei knew about it, he was afraid that he would no longer be able to hold it back and rush to save her in person. When the time comes......
Cai Wei rubbed her forehead, not wanting to think about the consequences that would happen next, and instead began to think about it, it would take a few days to dig a tunnel again to get under this prison, I don't know if it's too late?
She spent a few more days in this prison for a few more peaceful days, until four days later, Mama Ma brought her a heavy news with a proud face: on the morning of the same day, King Yingchuan had officially held an enthronement ceremony in the Chongzheng Hall and succeeded to the throne.
"The old slave said it before, I'm afraid that this King Yingchuan is pretending to be poisoned, but now it seems that the old slave is really right. If this is really poisoned, how can it be that after only a few days, he will participate in the enthronement ceremony alive, and all kinds of ceremonies can be tiring! ”
This news is really unexpected by Cai Wei, is this time really like Mama Ma said, all the qiē was made by Cui Xiang and his gang, so now that King Yingchuan has officially ascended the throne as the emperor, what will they do with themselves? You won't let yourself continue to be held in the palm of your hand by the Empress Dowager Sun, right?
As she thought so, she heard the sound of slashing as the blades clashed.
