Chapter 51
In the main hall, the three of them were sitting, Yun Shui didn't see the old, he had always been so immortal, he poured a cup of tea for Zhao Chen and Meng Yuan, and said gently: "In recent days, thanks to the care of His Royal Highness the Prince, the poor monk with crippled legs will not be left on the streets." β
Zhao Chen said in a low voice: "Why did the master say this, I know that even without me, the master can live well." β
Yun Shui said with a smile: "Your Highness thinks too highly of the poor monks. He looked out the window, as if recalling something, "Actually, before he became a monk, the poor monk was also a person who was obsessed with mundane things. β
"Oh?"
Yun Shui didn't intend to continue, in other words, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess came to see the poor monk today, there must be something." He looked at Meng Yuan, "If the poor monk is not mistaken, I think that the crown princess has opened her heart to the prince." β
Meng Yuan was much more anxious than Zhao Chen, and said directly: "Yes, this time thanks to Master Yunshui, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do to dare to face this." However, Master, did you say last time that if Your Highness and I can face each other calmly, we can come to you together if we need anything, is that true? β
Yunshui made a Buddha name: "Monks don't speak." β
Zhao Chen sighed, a little helpless Meng Yuan's eagerness, Meng Yuan didn't care, and said directly: "Then I won't go around in circles, master, Recently, His Royal Highness's body has not been with him for a day, I don't know what can be done?" β
Yun Shui smiled and nodded: "Naturally, there is, as long as His Royal Highness does his best to make the original capital a place of right and wrong, he can slowly recover." β
"But if I'm not mistaken......" Meng Yuan glanced at Zhao Chen, "I heard in my dream that day, it seems that His Highness won't live long in this life. β
Zhao Chen blinked, turned his gaze away and looked away, as if he didn't care about it, but the hand under the wide sleeve was still tightly clenched into a fist.
Meng Yuan sighed.
Seeing this, Master Yunshui said softly: "The crown princess and the prince don't need to worry, everything has a cause and there must be an effect, as long as Your Highness accumulates more blessings, the Buddha can see it." β
Meng Yuan frowned: "In other words, Your Highness only needs to accumulate more blessings?" β
Yunshui nodded.
"It's that simple?" Meng Yuan was a little skeptical.
Zhao Chen also looked over suspiciously.
Yun Shui only said: "It's as simple as that." β
Meng Yuan looked at Zhao Chen, and after the two looked at each other for a moment, Zhao Chen said: "Master practice here well, and Yuan Yuan and I will not disturb the master again in the future." β
Master Yunshui said with a smile: "Amitabha, if the crown princess gives birth to Lin'er in the future, His Royal Highness can still bring it to the poor monk to see." β
Zhao Chen smiled, and his face as cold as ice and snow immediately melted: "That's nature." β
Since then, Meng Yuan and Zhao Chen have ended this topic and have never mentioned it again. However, both of them knew that Master Yunshui might not have said everything, maybe he was just trying to ease their hearts, and he didn't say what the real truth was.
However, at least for now, there is a turnaround.
Zhao Chen quickened the pace of planning, Zhao Yin wanted to go to the court after his injuries were better, but he couldn't stand up, and invited countless miracle doctors to the house, but it was ineffective, Zhao Yin was angry for a while, and directly executed those doctors, and the name of violence spread all over the world, and no one dared to take over the list for his treatment.
The eldest prince who was imprisoned recently suffered from a strange disease, unable to see the light, and when he saw the light, he would be covered with red spots, some people said that he was confined in the house for too long, and he attracted some evil ways, and some people said that he was just infected with wind disease, in short, there were different opinions, and no one could be cured.
Meng Yuan stayed in the East Palace, a little unsteady, there have been too many things recently, first the virtuous king, and now the eldest prince, only the fifth prince and the fourth prince are intact, the fifth prince is still young, and his personality is also naΓ―ve, it is impossible to become a candidate for the prince, Zhao Chen This is deliberately making the fourth prince Zhao Cheng the prince.
I don't know if General Ning also saw the signs, and the more he looked at his son-in-law, who was very dissatisfied with the original, the more pleasing he looked, and praised the wisdom of the four princes in front of the emperor more than once.
For King Xian's side, General Ning didn't go anymore, but came to the East Palace to be diligent, which made Meng Yuan conclude that Zhao Chen must have revealed something to General Ning.
On this day, General Ning had just left, and before Meng Yuan went to the study to see Zhao Chen, someone reported that Concubine De had brought Meng Rou again.
Zhao Chen happened to come out of the study, and when he heard the report from a distance, he smiled a little terrifyingly.
"Let them in." Zhao Chen stroked the jade wrench on his thumb and said softly, "It's just the right time." With that, he turned around and went back to his study.
Meng Yuan was a little frightened, he always felt that Zhao Chen seemed to be doing something, but he couldn't guess what he was going to do.
In this East Palace, could Zhao Chen still kill the two of them? How is it possible, if something really happens, even if he can't find the handle that he did, he will be punished for lax supervision, at that time, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as blaming.
Meng Rou followed Concubine De into the East Palace, looking at this place of her dreams, her heart was very unbalanced.
Walking into the main hall, Zhao Chenyi and Meng Yuan arrived here, and the couple sat tall and short, so harmonious and natural.
"The prince is in the mood to see the palace today." Concubine De came in, and although she was smiling, she was picking on thorns.
Zhao Chen's eyes were fixed on Meng Rou, and Meng Rou, who had never been noticed by him, was at a loss.
Meng Yuan glanced at Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen didn't react, she knew right away that Meng Rou was afraid that something would happen today.
She wasn't worried that Zhao Chen would empathize, if he liked Meng Rou, he would have accepted it eight hundred years earlier, and would he wait until today?
Meng Rou still didn't know that the danger was approaching, and she began to be shy after being embarrassed for a while, Concubine De originally had the idea that she was not an outsider, and she was overjoyed when she saw this scene.
"The crown princess." She suddenly beckoned Meng Yuan, "I heard that the garden of the East Palace has bloomed a flower, it is very beautiful, I wonder if the palace can go and enjoy it?" β
Meng Yuan smiled: "That's natural, Niangniang come with me." She stood up and said to Zhao Chen, "Your Highness, the concubine took Concubine De to see the flowers in the garden, and retired first." β
Zhao Chen nodded and looked at Meng Rou: "Do you want to see Concubine Meng?" β
Meng Rou looked at Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen's eyes were strongly suggestive, and Meng Rou said in a daze: "The concubine is waiting here." β
Zhao Chen smiled with satisfaction, Concubine De left with Meng Yuan, seeing that Meng Yuan's expression was not unnatural, she looked back at Meng Rou, Meng Rou lowered her head and quietly looked at Zhao Chen with her residual vision, Zhao Chen lowered her eyebrows, but the smile on the corner of her mouth never stopped.
It is a concubine who looks like a concubine, if Meng Rou is angry today, King Xian will have a chance to remove Zhao Chen from the position of prince, if not...... Then she's of little use.
After Meng Yuan and Concubine De left, Zhao Chen stood up, asked his subordinates to send a teapot, came to Meng Rou's side, and poured tea for her in person: "Concubine Meng tastes this tea, it comes from the Western Regions as tribute, and it can't be drunk outside." β
Meng Rou was flattered and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." β
Zhao Chen smiled again, this smile directly made Meng Rou lose her mind, and drank the so-called "tea" of the Western Regions in a daze, sat down obediently, and looked at Zhao Chen with loving and bright eyes.
"Is it good?" Zhao Chen asked softly.
Meng Rou nodded: "It's delicious, why doesn't Your Highness drink it?" β
Zhao Chen said lightly: "I won't drink it alone, this kind of thing, drinking too much hurts my body." β
Meng Rou was puzzled: "Huh? β
Zhao Chen smiled: "Don't you feel the heat all over your body, and your heart is itching?" Don't worry, wait a little longer, everyone will come in a while, and Concubine Meng can put on a good show for Gu and everyone. β
Meng Rou was puzzled, and when she was confused, an evil fire surged in her heart, and she didn't seem to be able to see anyone else in front of her, only Zhao Chen, although her brain was still awake, but her body was uncontrollable, and she slowly leaned towards him.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with me, how can I ......" Meng Rou thought that Zhao Chen was deliberate, and said with a red face, "Your Highness really knows how to play, why bother, if you want to, the concubine will not refuse ......"
When several scholars from the Hanlin Academy and Dali Siqing came here, they happened to hear Meng Rou's words, and saw her rubbing against Zhao Chen shamelessly, but Zhao Chen just retreated in disgust to dodge.
"Insult Sven, insult Sven!" Hanlin Yuan and the others couldn't look at this scene at all, and took a few steps back to cover their eyes with their sleeves.
Dali Siqing frowned, a little funny: "Your Highness, this is?" β
Zhao Chen said with a solemn face: "Concubine Meng, what are you doing, I don't really understand." β
Meng Rou could only hear Zhao Chen's voice alone, how did she know that so many people came, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, in fact, the concubine has loved His Royal Highness for a long time, if it weren't for the concubine's sister marrying His Highness, the concubine would be willing to be the most inferior concubine." β
Such shocking words made the ministers listen to ten out of ten, Zhao Chen directly shook his sleeves and left, and said before leaving: "Dali Siqing, leave it to you here, you should know best what kind of slut should be guilty of." β
Dali Siqing hugged his fists and took the order, everyone in the Hanlin Academy left the discussion with Zhao Chen, Xing Shen came up with a maid to stop Meng Rou who was going to chase him, Xing Shen said with a serious face: "Concubine Meng still don't chase, it's cold, drink some water, and think about whether you should do these things." β
The maid poured a cup of tea for Meng Rou, Meng Rou sat down a little confused, and after a while, she saw Dali Siqing standing in front of her, so she asked, "What's wrong?" She looked around, "What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" β
Dali Siqing said with a smile: "Concubine Meng, you still don't want to pester the prince anymore, this matter will be reported to His Majesty at the official meeting, you wait to eat the sin!" β
Meng Rou's face was stunned: "What do you mean?" β
Dali Siqing didn't answer, and directly asked people to take her down. Concubine De and Meng Yuan came back from enjoying the flowers, and what they got was not the news that Meng Rou won the prince, but the concubine of King Xian who intended to seduce the prince, was witnessed by Dali Siqing on the spot, and was directly taken to trial!
Xianwang Mansion, Zhao Yin, who was already extremely irritable, heard the news, and directly took out the sword hanging diagonally on the cabinet and slashed at the house.
"Zhao Chen!!" He gritted his teeth and roared.
In the East Palace, Zhao Chen only came back at night, and the events of the day didn't seem to affect him, but it seemed to affect Meng Yuan.
Looking at Meng Yuan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with a sad face, Zhao Chen walked over and stroked her bulging abdomen, and said softly, "What's wrong?" Out of sorts? β
Meng Yuan frowned and said, "I heard that the emperor was very angry when he learned about Concubine Meng, and called you over?" β
"My father asked me if I had anything to do with Concubine Meng before." Zhao Chen said lightly, "He thinks these things are too strange, the cripple of the second emperor brother, and the arrest of Concubine Meng have everything to do with the East Palace." β
Meng Yuan said worriedly: "The emperor is suspicious? β
Zhao Chen smiled: "It's good to be suspicious, so if I don't want to be the prince, it's easier." He sighed, "Now, there is no obstacle left, you wait for me for more than a month, and I will take you out of this place of right and wrong." β
Meng Yuan sighed, although he longed for that time, he had to worry, would that day really come smoothly? Will the second prince just forget it?
Her worries were obviously not unnecessary, and after only three days, the East Palace broke into the assassin at night, Zhao Chen was assassinated, his injuries were severe, and he was unconscious, the emperor was furious and went to visit, but Zhao Chen was still unconscious.
Seeing off the emperor, Meng Yuan looked at Zhao Chen, who was pale on the bed, and then looked at the wound on his chest, and sighed.
"Your Highness, why bother, we can take our time, don't be in a hurry......" As soon as she finished speaking, the person on the bed moved.
I saw Zhao Chen, who looked seriously ill, and said in a clear and smooth voice: "If the second emperor brother doesn't die for a day, I won't be at ease for a day." β
Meng Yuan frowned, not knowing how to describe his mood, so he had to say, "It's good if you're happy." β
Zhao Chen opened his eyes, looked at the bed tent and said, "Do you think I'm too vicious and refuse to let go of my own brother?" β
Meng Yuan: "I originally thought that he had broken his leg and was no longer a threat to you, so he didn't have to kill him all, but I felt that you must have your reasons, so I support your choice." β
Zhao Chen looked at her and raised his hand to caress her face: "Yuan Yuan, with the current situation of the second emperor brother, even if his legs are crippled, he will not give up revenge on me." If I am good as emperor in the future, I can suppress him, but we are destined to leave the capital, and I don't want our lives to be in strife in the future. β
"So, you're going to eliminate a qiΔ hidden danger?" Meng Yuan asked in a muttered voice.
Zhao Chen closed his eyes and didn't speak, but in a sense, this was the default.
Meng Yuan shook his head, touched his face and said, "It's hard work." β
Zhao Chen still didn't speak, but said in his heart, for you and the child, it's worth the hard work.
