Chapter 503: The Emperor owes peace
"Mother, how is the situation in the palace recently? Is Concubine Ling still in her father's bedroom? Chu Ze asked hurriedly after asking for peace, the concubine Niangniang still had a beautiful appearance, but there was a tiredness in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows that could not be concealed.
Seeing that his only son also showed such a rare anxiety, he couldn't help but feel even more annoyed, Chu Ze has been calm since he was a child, but everything is top-notch among the princes, so that the emperor has always attached great importance to it, and he has been raised according to the model of the prince.
Even if he was suppressed because of the excessive power of the concubine's mother's family, the emperor never said that the possibility of Chu Ze succeeding to the throne was absolutely extinguished. But in the end, he actually let a thirteenth prince who never showed the mountain dew take the lead, not to mention that Chu Ze couldn't swallow this breath, even if the hope of the concubine Niangniang for many years became a bubble, and she couldn't accept it either.
"The woman...... It's really a thousand precautions, and I didn't even prevent her! She won the title of crown prince in just one day by your father's side, where can she leave now! Naturally, it's day and night!
Your father is also strange, I didn't see him before that he had to look for Concubine Ling, but now he can't miss a day, who knows what kind of Gu Concubine Ling gave to your father! ”
The silk handkerchief in the hand of the concubine was clutched into a ball and thrown aside, and the hatred in her heart almost erupted through her eyes, but it had come to this, what could she hate! She had to think of other ways to try to make up for it, and hopefully it would be too late, but she immediately remembered what the spy had reported today.
"The emperor went to Puji Temple yesterday? The matter of the old thirteen meddling, why did the emperor have to come up and ask for himself! Now that the emperor is sick, the old thirteen have the final say on all matters in the court. Acting so impulsively will only make the people in the court look down on you even more! If you are not sure of victory, don't make a move. Otherwise, you'll be a laughing stock! ”
The concubine sighed, "The concubine knows that the emperor is unhappy, but the more she is at this time, the more cautious she must be, and do not give people a handle, this truth does not need to be reminded by the concubine." ”
"Yes, this time it was Erchen's inappropriate consideration, he thought that Su Junyao was involved in that matter, and Erchen also thought that she could maintain Qi Ziyu. I was in a hurry. Chu Ze was shocked, the news of the concubine Niangniang was already beyond her expectations, "I don't want Qi Ziyu to be ruthless, and I don't mean to exonerate Song Junyao at all." Let her be arrested, and she can calmly give advice to her son, which is really rare. ”
"Ziyu has been a smart child since he was a child, and he naturally knows when to do something. Where is it like Prime Minister Song. I'm afraid that the older I get, the more inconsequential it becomes. ”
The concubine is very satisfied with Qi Ziyu's treatment, she has watched this child grow up since she was a child, although she has not cultivated it with all her heart, but in the end many things can be seen from a young age, such as ruthlessness, such as reason.
"So Erchen handed over the token of the capital patrol camp to Ziyu this time and asked him to arrange it," Chu Ze said here. paused deliberately, and quietly glanced at the reaction of the concubine. Make sure that there is nothing unusual before continuing" The people he sent to Su Guogong's side are now unable to effectively stop Su Guogong's march, I am afraid that in five days, he will lead the army to the capital, and everything will be too late. ”
"Five days...... Is the emperor trying to make a desperate bet? "Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, he made Chu Ze's thoughts clear in one sentence.
"Erchen entered the palace today to discuss with his mother and concubine, whether to let his grandfather prepare......" Chu Ze didn't finish speaking, he listened to the hurried footsteps outside from far to near, and only when he approached the door did he reply loudly.
"Guifei Niangniang, there is a doctor who has come to see Niangniang."
"Pass him in." The concubine was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyes raised in surprise, and she glanced at Chu Ze, and a flash of light flashed, as if she was thinking of something.
"Weichen see the concubine Niangniang." The imperial doctor entered from the outside, and first asked the concubine for peace, and then he saw Chu Ze standing on the side, and hurriedly changed the direction, "Participate in His Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”
"Excuse me, what is the matter over there in the Holy Heavens, do you want the Imperial Doctor to come to the palace for a walk?" The concubine retracted her eyes and lowered her head to play with her armor, in order to hide the sudden premonition in her heart.
"Yes! Niangniang Shengming, just now Weichen gave the saint a pulse, and found that the saint has not thought about eating and drinking in the past few days, and people are already groggy, I am afraid that the time mentioned before will be advanced. ”
The imperial doctor said vaguely, but the concubine understood, it must have been a deal with this imperial doctor before, no matter what problems happened to the emperor's dragon body, he had to report it as soon as possible, but such a situation must not be caused by a day or two.
"Why didn't you tell me before! A few days ago, which physician treated the Holy Lord? If something went wrong with the Holy Dragon Body, would they be able to afford it? The concubine Niangniang's series of reprimands and cold questions were asked, and the momentum that had been raised in a high position for many years came out, which made the imperial doctor break out in a cold sweat.
"Niangniang is angry, the previous imperial doctors are probably ordered by Concubine Ling Niangniang not to pass on the true situation of the Holy Dragon Body, so it has been delayed until now! It's Weichen's negligence, please forgive me! ”
"Concubine Ling? Okay, I want to play the trick of blackmailing the Son of Heaven! She doesn't look at who she is! A little concubine is delusional that she can really be the queen mother? She wants to survive to the death of the saint, and then her son will succeed to the throne and make her spring and autumn dreams! ”
The armor in her hand was broken in response, and the hollow pattern made of red gold took the minds of countless skilled craftsmen, and it was destroyed because of the anger of the concubine, she was so angry that she threw down the armor casually, and commanded instead.
"Although the Holy Lord is controlled by Concubine Ling, no matter what method you use in this palace, you must let the Holy Lord survive for three days! Otherwise, your family will wait for the loyal monarch to judge himself! ”
"Yes, yes! Weichen obeyed Niangniang's orders and will keep the saint! The imperial doctor trembled with fright, he naturally believed in the concubine's methods, not only her, but also her mother's power outside, as long as she said a word, his family was afraid that he would really disappear in the capital.
"Go down, do what the palace says, and you will be indispensable for glory and wealth in the future!" Envy and power, the concubine has been immersed in the palace for many years, and the means are by no means ordinary.
After sending the imperial doctor away, she turned her head and said to Chu Ze again, "Emperor, it seems that this matter really can't wait any longer." ”
"Do you want to inform your ancestor that the forbidden army in the palace is already under the control of Erchen, and the capital guards outside the palace have also taken over, as long as Su Guogong is prevented from entering the capital and taken before he arrives, everything can be guaranteed." Chu Ze didn't know whether he was excited or scared, his hands were slightly clenched in his sleeves and trembled like chaff.
"As long as your father has not died, this throne will not reach the hands of the old thirteen in one day! But if your father dies, he will be the rightful heir! Therefore, even if the mother concubine has just instructed the imperial doctor to save your father's life, regardless of the cost, in the end, it still depends on the will of heaven.
