Chapter 545: Suddenly
Zhou Shaojin was scared half to death.
How so?
In the previous life, the prince died of illness in the winter of the twenty-seventh year of Zhide, and now it is the twenty-third year of Zhide...... The crown prince died of illness four years early.
What's going on?
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly went to find Cheng Chi.
Cheng Chi noticed that the edict was written by Cheng Shao.
In other words, Cheng Shao may not be recruited into the palace to play chess, but to deal with the death of the crown prince.
The crown prince died two days ago.
But why is the crown prince not in the East Palace, but in Cining Palace?
And the emperor's eldest grandson is also there.
Others don't know, the queen mother and the eldest grandson of the emperor all know that the prince has a heart disease, so what can make the prince fall ill?
As soon as Cheng Chi came out, he said to Gu Xu, who came to him: "What's wrong with the East Palace?" ”
Gu Xu smiled bitterly: "The East Palace is already out of order, where is there any common sense!" The eldest grandson of the emperor is still in the palace, the crown princess has passed out from crying, and the prince's Liangdi is taking care of the crown princess. Na Liangdi was originally a palace maid, because she served by the prince's side since she was a child, and she was the prince's daughter, the prince specially asked her to be named Liangdi. Other than that, the crown prince had no other concubines. She is timid and cowardly, except for going to the temple to offer incense on weekdays, she never leaves the house. Don't say that she expects to come forward to preside over the overall situation, even if she returns to her for daily use, she can't tell......"
"Then we can only wait for the second uncle to come back." Cheng Chi thought for a while and said to Gu Xuzhi, "Fortunately, the prince didn't die violently in the East Palace, the only thing you can do now is to 'stay up' and cry for the prince day and night." Whoever can show his loyalty can survive the emperor's anger, and whoever can survive the emperor's anger will be able to survive and have a future. ”
"That's what I thought too!" Gu Xu said helplessly, "It's just that His Royal Highness the Prince's death is too strange, which makes me very worried in my heart, you say, what kind of place is this Cining Palace, even if there is a headache and brain fever." You can't ask a doctor for medicine in other palaces. But who would dare to delay the matter of Cining Palace for a moment. How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that he would go? I don't dare to say or ask others. I had to ask Uncle Chi to help me take a breath in front of my second uncle. ”
I don't blame him for being frustrated.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier.
In the same way, a prince has a Zhan mansion.
The originally bright future became bleak because of the sudden death of the prince, and he didn't know the future!
Cheng Chi thought of Gu Xu's respect for him before. "Don't worry. I also wanted to know what the hell was going on. "Speaking of which. He thought for a moment and said, "At this time. It's not wrong for you to ask the emperor's eldest grandson about anything. ”
Gu Xu's eyes condensed slightly when he listened, and he hesitated: "Uncle Chi is saying that the emperor has any plans to establish the emperor's grandson?" ”
Cheng Chi wasn't sure, but Zhou Shaojin said that in the previous life, the emperor set up a grandson.
Although the situation has changed a lot now, who can guarantee that the emperor will not appoint the emperor as a grandson?
Cheng Chi said implicitly: "There are accidents in everything, keep one more hand, and there will be one more way." ”
Gu Xu was thoughtful.
Qingfeng came over and said that Zhou Shaojin was here.
Gu Xu got up and said goodbye.
Cheng Chi sent him to the gate of the courtyard before turning back.
Zhou Shaojin had already arrived, and was sitting in front of the big bookcase to watch a picture of rain hitting plantains he had just drawn.
"Is Shiro upset?" She pointed to the raindrop on the tip of the banana leaf that was about to fall, "This raindrop hesitates, it looks a little heavy." ”
Cheng Chi smiled and grabbed Zhou Shaojin's shoulder, followed what she said, and fell on the raindrop on the tip of the banana leaf, and said, "Let you see it!" ”
Zhou Shaojin nodded lightly and said softly: "Shiro, I don't know why the things in this life are different from what I knew before......
"It's not your fault." Cheng Chi's voice became softer, and he whispered to her, "In our previous life, we didn't know anything and didn't do anything. In this life, we not only used the Seven Star Hall to start frequent contact with several princes, but also attracted the attention of the four princes because of my emergence, the last time Shi Kuan invited me to dinner, he mentioned many times that the four princes behaved in a way, and the matter of the seven princes let other princes know, it turned out that not all people were willing to let the prince be the prince, and there were many people with different thoughts.
"Originally, I thought that the crown prince's illness was only known to people who were particularly close to the emperor and the emperor's eldest grandson, but later I found out that the second uncle also knew about it.
"Since the second uncle knows about it, it can't be ruled out that other people also know.
"The crown prince has a sword hanging above his head, as long as he does it skillfully, there are more ways to kill him.
"I think maybe it's because this life is different from the previous life, so the crown prince died early.
"We'll know about this when the second uncle comes back.
"Don't be in a hurry! Gu Xu also figured out that I asked my second uncle about the crown prince......"
Zhou Shaojin turned around and hugged Cheng Chi tightly, snuggled in his arms, and listened to his heartbeat with his eyes closed.
This is something that has only recently been discovered.
As long as she listened to his heartbeat in Cheng Chi's arms like this, her flustered heart would soon be able to calm down.
Cheng Chi let her lie to herself, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's okay." Even if you don't have the memory of your past life, won't we have to live this life? ”
Zhou Shaojin let out a sullen "um", feeling that even if she knew about her previous life, it didn't seem to be of any help to Cheng Chi.
She really wants to help Cheng Chi!
Cheng Chi felt that she was in a bad mood, and gently shook her as if he was holding a child, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is me in one qiē." Otherwise, what are you going to do when you get married? It's easier to live alone. ”
Just because she and Cheng Chi can have a cute child like Brother Yun, she will also be out of the cabinet......
The thought flashed, and Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.
When is Brother Yun more important than Cheng Chi in her heart!
After two days like this, the palace suddenly issued an edict, saying that the second prince and the seventh prince colluded, befriended foreign ministers, plotted against each other, committed suicide by giving dove wine, and the children, wives and concubines were demoted to the people, and Xining Wei was distributed.
Will down. The court was in an uproar.
I didn't expect that he was always wrong with the Seventh Prince, and the Second Prince would collude with the Seventh Prince.
Mrs. Song came over to complain to Zhou Shaojin with a sad face: "I am not allowed to marry for three months, why is the marriage of our eldest man so difficult?" First, the old lady was ill, and then encountered a national funeral, you say, will anything happen after the national funeral? Don't talk about me, even my father-in-law held his breath and said that no matter what, I had to watch Da Lang become a relative in order to see my mother-in-law who had already died of illness with peace of mind. ”
Zhou Shaojin also felt that Song Mu's luck was not good. She could only appease Mrs. Song: "There are many good things." Maybe the Bodhisattva knew that the Song Dagongzi would have a safe and smooth life in the future, so he would let his marriage go unwell. ”
"I hope so!" Mrs. Song felt much better when she heard the feelings, and said, "I heard that your second uncle is still in the palace?" Do you know what's going on? ”
Mrs. Song was ordered by Lord Song to ask her about the prince's violent illness?
Zhou Shaojin said, "I don't know. My wife will be going back in a few days. I've been busy with my wife these days shopping for things and giving them to relatives and friends. I really didn't pay attention to these things. ”
Mrs. Song sighed.
Zhou Shaojin was secretly glad that her fourth rank had not come down, otherwise she would have to go to the palace tomorrow to cry.
Cheng Chi was not as lucky as her.
The needlework of the family sewed mourning clothes for him overnight.
Mrs. Guo was worried about Cheng Shao, so she called Cheng Jing over and asked him to find a way to contact Cheng Shao. Wait for Cheng Jing to leave. asked Cheng Chi again: "Second uncle won't have anything, right?" ”
"What can he do with the old man?" Cheng Chi said with a smile. "During this time, the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Rites were already busy with the prince's funeral, and the second uncle was familiar with the laws and regulations, and he could speak in front of the emperor. It is the time to worry about the king, if the second uncle is not busy at this time, then it will make people worry! ”
Having said that, he remembered Zhou Shaojin's words, and his heart still tugged.
Although Mrs. Guo nodded when she heard this, she sighed abruptly: "I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. The emperor suddenly folded three children, seven or eight grandchildren. One of them is still the prince who has always had high hopes, which is unbearable even in ordinary people's families, let alone when it comes to national social ......"
Zhou Shaojin saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly quietly motioned for Pearl to hug Brother Yun.
Mrs. Guo looked at her grandson and became happy, changed the topic, and teased Brother Yun.
Cheng Chi looked at Zhou Shaojin with a grateful look.
Zhou Shaojin's face turned red, and his eyes fell on Cheng Chi and he couldn't take it back.
Mrs. Guo hugged Brother Yun but said to her son and daughter-in-law: "If you have something to say, go back to the house and say, I have Brother Yun, and Brother Yun has a grandmother." Here you look at me, I look at you, others still think that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are here, saying that we Brother Yun are not sensible, aren't they? Brother Yun! ”
Brother Yun smirked at Mrs. Guo.
Zhou Shaojin's face was so hot that he couldn't raise his head.
Cheng Chi didn't blush, and pulled Zhou Shaojin out of breath and left: "Then let's go back to the house first, and come back to greet my mother later." ”
Zhou Shaojin didn't dare to struggle, and didn't say in a low voice until he left Tingxiang Courtyard: "You let go of me, otherwise my mother will laugh at us again." ”
"We are a husband and wife with three books and six rites, what are we afraid of?" Cheng Chi smiled, thinking that she was thin-skinned, but he still let go of her, and said, "If we don't talk to each other and ignore each other, my mother will have a sad face!" ”
Zhou Shaojin smiled and said, "You have a sense at any time." ”
Cheng Chi smiled and scratched Zhou Shaojin's face.
Huaishan strode over and said in a low voice, "There are three bricks under the stone drum on the other side of Yuqian Hutong. ”
Cheng Chi's expression was slightly condensed, he sent Huaishan away, and said to Zhou Shaojin in a low voice: "This is the code that I and my second uncle said in advance, if the second uncle has any inconvenience and can't see us, just put three bricks under the stone drum at the door, and I will go and see it quietly." ”
Zhou Shaojin said: "Then you have to be careful." As my mother said, I always feel uneasy in my heart. ”
"I know." Cheng Chi looked at her softly and whispered, "I will think about you and the child, and I won't mess around." ”
Zhou Shaojin's face turned even redder, pursing his lips and smiling.
But after Cheng Chi left, she was restless at home looking at the Western clock for a while, looking at the hourglass for a while, and she really had no intention of freshening up.
