"Princess!"

"Hurry up and get the doctor here!"

The room was in chaos. When Dr. Bai was invited, Yulan had already sobered up, and the maid helped her into the inner room, and Dr. Bai carried the medicine box into the inner room, and saw the princess with tears in her eyes, choked up, and her emotions were very unstable, and she couldn't help but be shocked.

It has not been a year since he has been in contact with Yulan, and he has also figured out Yulan's temper. She has always been gentle and kind, but she is very assertive, and Dr. Bai has always respected the princess very much, and it is the first time she has seen her like this.

Doctor Bai took the pulse, and couldn't help but look a little strange. I want to speak, but I feel that it is a little inappropriate to say such things in this atmosphere. After thinking about it for a while, he still said: "Princess, you are happy!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Yulan was also stunned, her hand involuntarily touched her lower abdomen, they had been looking forward to having another child, but they never thought that they would be pregnant in this situation, Yulan's hand involuntarily stretched out to her lower abdomen, and said a little eagerly: "Doctor, how long has the child been?" ”

"Judging from the pulse, it should be less than two months!" Doctor Bai pondered for a while and said: "Princess, your foundation is already empty, you have been taking tonic medicine in the past two years, although your body and bones have improved, but now the fetus is still young, you, don't be too sad!" ”

"I see. Don't worry, for the sake of the prince, I will also give birth to this child well. It's just that later, two lines of tears still couldn't help falling.

No matter what the cost, she has to protect this hard-won child.

If the prince is really unfortunate to die, then the child in Yulan's belly is the posthumous son of the prince, and she must give birth to a son to the prince!

After sending Dr. Bai away, Yulan called Ma Fu in and told her the news of her pregnancy. Ma Fu was also surprised and delighted when he heard it. Thinking that Ye Yichen would be very happy if he was still there, he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

Yulan instructed him with a solemn expression: "I have already instructed Doctor Bai not to say it just now. This matter must be kept strictly confidential and not publicized to the outside world. "Ye Yichen doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he has been in a high position for so many years, it is inevitable that he will offend many enemies, and the tree will fall and scatter, if people know that Yulan is pregnant with his widow, maybe someone will have some malicious intentions to use some conspiracies and tricks against her, or it is best to give birth to the child quietly.

Ma Fu originally had this intention, he had been immersed in officialdom for a long time, and those ghost tricks knew better than Yulan, and persuaded the princess to live and recuperate, and he took care of everything outside, so he went down to arrange.

The news of Ye Yichen's attack was originally a very confidential matter, but somehow, it quickly spread all over the capital. Yulan held the last glimmer of hope in his heart, and waited for Ye Fengqi's return worriedly, hoping that he could get Ye Yichen back.

Not only was the Jin Palace's tense economy, but the atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace was also inexplicably depressing. For a time, all the eyes of the court were focused on the Jin Palace. Countless people came to inquire about the news for various reasons, Yulan closed the door and thanked the guests, and no one was seen, not even the people of her mother's family.

She really didn't have the strength to deal with anyone now. For the sake of the child in her belly, she forced herself not to think about it, forced herself to rest on time, read, do needlework, arrange every day to the full, and did not let herself have the energy to think nonsense.

Half a month later, news came from Ye Fengqi's side: he led people to search the area where the accident occurred, and even sneaked into the territory of Shuhan to search, but he didn't find any clues.

In other words, Ye Yichen didn't find it!

When Yulan heard the news, she locked herself in the room and cried for two hours. Then she wiped away her tears, she had to be strong, she still had a little life in her belly.

The reaction of the imperial court is very intriguing. Only a few days after the news came back, Ye Minzhao immediately summoned his ministers and impatiently announced Ye Yichen's death. Some courtiers questioned it, but Ye Yichen's bones were not found, and it seemed that they should not have rushed to conclude that the regent died like this! was reprimanded by Ye Minzhao.

Everyone understands the attitude of the little emperor!

The little emperor looked sad in the palace, with tears in his eyes: "The regent has worked hard for the country for many years, and I am deeply saddened by the death of the regent...... In order to mourn the great achievements of the regent, he dropped out of the dynasty on the third day, approved the folding of all the red pens to the blue pen on the 27th, and urgently ordered the Ministry of Rites to negotiate in detail all the ceremonial matters of the queen regent, and folded the music.

Before that, when the regent was still alive, the teenage emperor was only a nominal monarch and had no real power, and all the decrees of the court came from the hands of the regent, and now there was no one to stop him from regaining the supreme imperial power.

At this moment, Ye Minzhao, who was sitting on the emperor's throne, tasted the feeling of being in power for the first time, and his heart was extremely happy.

Ye Yichen's funeral was very sad. The edict ordered the palace of the prince of Jin to set up a mourning hall, and hundreds of civil and military officials went to the spirit in batches to bow and worship. Ye Minzhao personally wrote a eulogy for Ye Yichen.

Yulan still doesn't want to believe that Ye Yichen died like this. She is a female generation, and she can't inherit the political legacy left by Ye Yichen, so she can only passively accept all these arrangements against her will.

The Jin Wangfu can no longer close its doors to thank guests, and batches of civil and military officials have come to condole, coming and going. Ye Minwen is still young and can't stand up for the door, Yulan can only wear filial piety clothes and thank them one by one.

"The emperor has arrived!" The eunuch dragged in with a long voice, and there was a commotion in the mourning hall. No matter how big the regent is, he is just a courtier, what kind of honor does the emperor personally come to worship?

Ye Minzhao walked in in a plain dress, his face was full of pain, and he was already kneeling in the mourning hall, "Welcome to the emperor!" ”

"Get up!" Ye Minzhao spoke, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Yulan, who was kneeling on the ground and wearing a sackcloth filial piety robe. Seeing that she was already crumbling, the little emperor couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart, and threw a glance over, and Xiao Hanzi, who was waiting closely, hurriedly stepped forward and carefully helped Yulan up.

Ye Minzhao's gaze fell on Yulan's face, and his eyes were full of deep concern. Then he waved his hand and said to the people who were still kneeling, "Get up!" There was a sense of majesty in his tone.

Personally put three incense sticks in front of the spirit, and the little emperor sat down on the main seat, and said to Yulan with a pleasant face: "The princess's day is sad!" ”

Yulan looked at Ye Minzhao, his eyes were cold and cold. It took a long time before he slowly spoke: "Thank you for Your Majesty's care, Your Majesty is magnificent, and the palace is grateful!" This is said in a very official tone, full of estrangement.

Ye Yichen's death, Ye Minzhao is the rightful Son of Heaven, there is no one in the court who is restrained, he is the supreme Ninety-Five, who dares not to give him face, but he didn't expect to hit a soft nail here in Yulan.

He would have been furious if he had changed others, but he couldn't be angry with Yulan. I had to follow the train of thought and said: "The regent left suddenly, and the country lost its auxiliary minister, and my heart is also sad. Princess, don't worry, the regent is the hero of our Great Chu, and I will never treat him badly after his death. I have ordered the Ministry of Rites to draw up a sixteen-character nickname, and in the future, his spiritual position will be worthy of the Taimiao. As for his throne, as soon as the first seven days passed, I asked Minwen to attack the prince's lordship......"

He gushed his grand opinions, full of self-confidence, as if he was already a good emperor who was sympathetic to his courtiers. Yulan just listened and didn't make a sound. Shiyi has changed too much, Ye Minzhao has changed too much, and she can no longer regard him as the little boy who was once intimate.

"The concubine is a little tired!" Yulan suddenly interrupted him extremely rudely, "If the emperor allows, the concubine wants to go back and rest." ”

"Bold! Did you talk to the emperor like this? The chief attendant who came with the little emperor pinched his throat and shouted.

Yulan was already kneeling on the ground, "The concubine has no words, if the emperor is angry, then ask the emperor to dispose of the concubine according to the law!" ”

Ye Minzhao was also a little unable to get off the stage, but he scolded the chief of the chamberlain: "Shut up!" Don't look at what kind of place this is, where is you a dog slave to interject? ”

The chamberlain originally wanted to sell a good job in front of the emperor, but he didn't know that the horse's fart was not filmed well, so he slapped the horse's leg and knelt on the ground like a green onion. "The emperor spares his life!"

Ye Minzhao didn't even look at him, but instructed Xiao Hanzi: "You are good, help the princess regent to rest!" Don't come back to see me if there's a problem! ”

Xiao Hanzi came over to help her out of the mourning hall, and walked a long way before he spoke: "The emperor is already the emperor, if you feel uncomfortable, come to the minions, but you must not talk to the emperor like this again!" "The little emperor has become more and more authoritative in recent years, and he can't stand the disobedience of others against him, Xiao Hanzi remembered the friendship of the year, so he kindly reminded Yulan.

Yulan could naturally hear it, but sighed and said, "Thank you Xiao Han Gonggong for reminding me!" I'll keep an eye out for it in the future! ”

Back in the main courtyard, Xiao Hanzi went back to hand in on errands, Yulan and Yi were lying on the bed, but they couldn't sleep. At this moment, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, Yulan thought it was a maid coming in, so he said, "You don't need to wait now, you go out first!" ”

There was no movement over there. Yulan was taken aback and sat up suddenly. There was a beautiful young man with sharp eyebrows standing at the head of the bed, who else was Ye Minzhao?

After Yulan was surprised, there was a burst of anger in her heart: "How can you enter my boudoir casually!" ”

A heartbroken look rose on Ye Minzhao's face. He felt that Yulan's words hurt him a little. "The whole world is not the king's land, I am the Son of Heaven, I can't go anywhere! Besides, between our sisters and brothers, when did they get so separated! ”

Yulan forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Your Majesty, I want to remind you that in front of you is your sixteenth aunt regent princess, not your sister!" ”

"You're mad at me!"

"How dare the concubine!"

Ye Minzhao sighed, "I came today, I don't mean anything else, Uncle Sixteen is dead, and I am also very heartbroken!" I just want to tell you, no matter whether I am an emperor or not, I still regard you as my dearest sister as before! He has changed "I" to "I"!

"But you did this to me! Makes me really sad! ”

Yulan looked at him coldly, and only spoke for a long time: "Since you said so, I will ask you, there is no news of the exact death of the prince, why do you give him a funeral so grandiosely!" ”

"He's dead!" Ye Minzhao looked at Yulan and his voice was very affirmative. "You and I know him well, don't we? If he was still alive, he would have asked someone to send news for so long. Even if he is not afraid that you will worry about him, he will definitely worry that I will take the opportunity to seize his military and political power! There is no news of him yet, which means that he must be dead! ”

Yulan's face suddenly turned white. She has always used the phrase "the prince is still alive" to deceive herself, but she knows that Ye Minzhao is telling the truth, if Ye Yichen is still alive, with his ability, he will definitely send someone to send the news out.

She sat weakly on the bed, her whole body trembling violently, Ye Minzhao came over, as if she wanted to help her pat her back, Yulan woke up suddenly: "What are you going to do?" Don't come here! ”

Ye Minzhao stopped a little embarrassed, "I didn't mean anything else!" ”

Yulan airway; "Do you really not know or do you pretend not to know? You are a dignified son of Chu Tian, enter the boudoir of one of my surviving people, this word spreads, do you want me to live? ”

Ye Minzhao said very domineeringly: "Don't worry, I have already instructed them, whoever dares to go out and say a word nonsense, I will skin them!" ”

"Now the concubine is disheartened, she just wants to live in peace for a few days, and the concubine begs His Majesty for mercy, so let the concubine go!" Yulan got up and knelt at Ye Minzhao's feet, and her tears couldn't help flowing down anymore.

"Alas, that's fine! It's reckless! You...... Good life rest. I'm going back. He wanted to say again, "I'll come to see you in a few days", but seeing Yulan so excited, he finally didn't say anything, but turned around and walked out of her bedroom.

Yulan lay on the bed, tears raining down, and muttered, "Lord Wang, what should I do?" ”

In the following month, Ye Minzhao controlled the military and political power as quickly as possible with dazzling methods. First of all, I don't know what means were used to make the first assistant of the cabinet return to his hometown to recuperate, and then he did not let the second assistant of the cabinet, Lord Ma, take over the post of the capital. His preferred candidate is Ding Ge Lao, but whether he can be the first assistant of the cabinet also depends on his seniority and prestige, although the emperor can be hand-picked, but there are always some legal inconsistencies, so he made a move to push, let the cabinet ministers and the six ministers and nine ministers recommend the candidates for the first assistant, and in the end Ding Ge Lao became the first assistant unexpectedly.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Minzhao signed an edict to transfer Ye Yichen's die-hard supporters from important positions one by one and install their own henchmen. This series of changes was so rapid that by the time the ministers came to their senses, everything had already settled.

Ye Minzhao has firmly controlled the government.

If Ye Yichen is the undisputed military genius, then Ye Minzhao is the undisputed political genius. He is scheming and scheming, and he is both quick and accurate, which makes the ministers deeply understand what it means to control the power of a high rank, and those complex conspiracies are like an art in his hands.

He performed major operations and adjustments to the civilian system, but none of the generals moved. Just when the courtiers thought that because of the tense war ahead, the little emperor was afraid of shaking the foundation of the army, so they waited for the battle to be finished and then installed cronies in the army, but the truth once again surprised them.

Ye Yichen has been running the army for more than ten years, and has installed countless cronies in the military system, and there are generals he promoted all over the country. When everyone heard the news of Ye Yichen's death, they rushed from all over the country, and when Ye Yichen was thirty-seven, these people finally gathered in front of the prince's spirit.

The stars of the Jin Palace's Mansion will shine on this day, but when they finished worshipping Ye Yichen and walked out of the gate of the palace, they found that the entire palace had been surrounded by thousands of royal forest regiments, and those generals who were close to Ye Yichen and were willing to serve the prince to the death were captured by Ye Minzhao, all of them were arrested and put into prison.

No one expected Ye Minzhao to act so boldly.

At the same time, Ye Minzhao announced that he was going to get married next month, and he would make the fifth miss of the Shen family of the British Mansion the queen. Then a group of generals with British government backgrounds occupied important positions in the army.

Ye Yichen was finally buried after 49 days of silence. During these days, Yulan has lost a lot of weight, her chin has become sharper, and what makes her feel the most painful is that the child cries with her every day to ask for her father, but she doesn't know how to explain it to her.

A few days later, Ye Minzhao held a grand wedding in the Forbidden City. Ye Minzhao not only married Miss Shen Wu as the queen, but the queen mother also personally selected two concubines for him, one is the granddaughter of Yan'an Marquis Tang Shengzong, and the other is the granddaughter of the respected general Zheng in the army.

Ye Minzhao's move was naturally to consolidate his position of power and better control the army through marriage. It's just that Yulan was relieved after knowing it, her current identity is a widow, and she can't participate in such a thing as the emperor's wedding.

Now that Ye Minzhao already has a queen and two concubines, he shouldn't come to harass himself again in the future, right?
