122 Countermeasures (2nd Update)
Yuan Yue'er, the eldest daughter of the county lord of Yining and Yuan Dalang, has always stayed in the palace and read to the eldest princess.
Even Gorou and Cui Ling's wedding didn't come back.
It stands to reason that if this is just a trick by the emperor to restrain the Yuan family.
The Yuan family has returned the military power, and the battle of Northwest Rouran was also fought very beautifully, and Empress Jiang should not continue to detain the eldest lady of the Zhenguo Mansion in the palace, which is really a bit unkind.
But the county lord of Yining has gone to the palace to pick up several times in a row these days, but Queen Jiang has no intention of letting people go home for a long time.
First of all, he said that the Queen Mother's birthday is imminent, and Changling and Yue'er are preparing birthday gifts for the Queen Mother.
It is a double-sided embroidered screen, and when the screen is embroidered, Yue'er will naturally be able to go back.
Later, the county lord of Yining sent a lot of money to ask someone to inquire, only to learn that the screen had actually been completed in the first half of the year, and that was just an excuse for Queen Jiang to refuse to let Yue'er go home.
The county lord didn't understand what this meant, so he went home and asked Da Lang, who was also very distressed, but reassured her to be a little restless.
Da Lang's thoughts, Xu is the emperor's health has been too poor recently, I'm afraid there are not many days to live, Empress Jiang is probably afraid that the crown prince will ascend the throne, the Yuan family will intervene in a gear to help the nine kings seize the heir, so they continue to hold Yue'er.
If Empress Jiang really guarded the Yuan family like this, then before the crown prince ascended the throne, it would be impossible for Yue'er to go home.
The county lord of Yining went back to the eldest princess's mansion to cry to her mother, Princess Furong, but the eldest princess just sighed and persuaded the county lord not to enter the palace to make trouble, Queen Jiang is a flawed person who must be repaid. There is only harm to offending her. There is no benefit.
Princess Furong said. "When I was in the palace in the past, I had a good relationship with the Queen Mother, and when she looked at me, she would secretly take care of Yue'er. Although Yue'er was detained in the palace and was not allowed to go home, her life was safe, and her daily use was also compared to the princess. You have to rest assured of that. ”
She sighed deeply, "Wait, it will be two months at most, and Yue'er will be able to go home." ”
The county lord of Yining is also a golden branch and jade leaf, she is in the royal family, what can't she see through?
Princess Furong said that she wanted her to wait, and Da Lang told her not to be impatient, but in fact, it all meant the same thing.
The emperor will not live long, at most two months, as long as he dies. The crown prince successfully ascended the throne, and Yue'er had no need to be a hostage again. She'll be able to go home.
She didn't even have to worry that Empress Jiang would interfere in Yue'er's marriage at will, because the prince and Yue'er were different in generation after all, and they couldn't intermarry.
And Queen Jiang's mother's family has no children and nephews of the right age, but she thinks that she can't find a suitable young man.
Having said that, the county lord of Yining is a mother, even if she knows that Yue'er is not bad in the palace, she can't bear the sadness and longing in her heart.
It's just that this indescribable emotion can't be said to anyone, so it can only be held in the heart.
To this day, she finally couldn't hold it back.
Cui Ling listened to the cry of the county lord of Yining, and felt even more disgusted with Queen Jiang in her heart.
That's right, if you talk about the methods of the superiors, Queen Jiang is indeed a fierce iron fist, I am afraid that some iron-blooded kings in the history books are not as decisive and resourceful as her.
But is this really a clever method?
The way of the emperor has always been about a balance.
slap it, you have to give a date to eat, like Queen Jiang is so unkind, Cui Ling thinks it may not be a good thing.
Originally, it was good to prevent trouble before it happened, but to force the Nine Kings to this, and mercilessly trample on the loyalty of the Yuan family of the Zhenguo Mansion, she was not afraid that things would be reversed, and she would suffer a terrible and deadly backlash?
If the Yuan family really wants to rebel, can she really change anything by detaining Yue'er in the palace?
What Queen Jiang relied on was the Yuan family's true feelings for Yue'er.
But this true affection is not only the magic weapon of Queen Jiang to restrain the Yuan family, but also a weapon for the Yuan family to resist in the future.
Cui Ling now feels that if the crown prince and Empress Jiang have the same temperament, then in the future, it must be a little difficult for the Yuan family to live under such a monarch.
It seems that at the next family meeting, she has to tell her father euphemistically that since the family has handed over the military power, it is not easy for people to worry, so let's move out of Shengjing City, my grandmother's hometown Xiling is 108,000 miles away from Shengjing City, and it is a good place to settle down and work.
Cui Ling quietly listened to the complaint of the lord of Yining County, and said softly, "Although I usually have a lot of ideas, but they are all inconsequential little things, Yue'er's affairs, in fact, it is related to the entire court situation, before the prince has successfully boarded the plane, I am afraid that Queen Jiang will not let people go easily." ”
She paused slightly, "Actually, I've been married for a while, but I haven't seen Yue'er yet, and I've always remembered her in my heart, but Queen Jiang's attitude is like this, I'm afraid I really have to wait for two months." ”
Although Yuan Yue'er has never been home, her big name Cui Ling is often heard.
From the words of the old lady, Cui Ling faintly felt that the origin of this eldest niece may not be simple, maybe she is still a fellow countryman.
She also secretly looked forward to what a great fate it would be if she could meet people from the previous world in this strange time and space, and she was fortunate enough to be born in the same family, without any contradictions and interests between them, this should be a feeling that can be cherished.
But Queen Jiang has always detained people, and she has never had this opportunity.
It was this point that the county lord of Yining was depressed in her heart, she shrunk her nose, "No matter what reason I use to enter the palace, Queen Jiang can always find a way to refute me, but she is the mother of the country in the world, and I, the county lord, are useless in front of her." ”
She wiped her tears, "I know that I just need to be patient." But when I was old last year, everyone also said that as long as Rouran's battle was over and the Yuan family's military power was handed over, Yue'er would be able to go home. But you see......"
Everyone thinks that the emperor only has two months to live, but what if he is tenacious in life?
Twelve years ago, he was already lingering on the sickbed, and even the number of times he went to court in the Jinluan Palace was only a handful, and most of the time, he was discussing politics in the Imperial Palace.
But with such a weak body, didn't he last for twelve years?
Who knows if his life will be as tough as silk, and it will last for another half a year, a year, or even two years......
Is it that as long as the emperor does not die and the crown prince does not ascend the throne, Yue'er will never be able to go home?
Yuan Yue'er will celebrate her thirteenth birthday in two months.
Although most of the noble daughters of the Sheng Dynasty were fifteen years old before they got married, they were not young at the age of thirteen, and they could look at each other as their future sons-in-law.
The county lord of Yining is afraid that if it drags on like this, he will delay the best time to get married, and when he is really old, he will not be high or low, it will be a matter of a lifetime.
Even if others can't think of it, but she, as a mother, is in her heart.
Cui Ling thought for a while and asked tentatively, "If my sister-in-law is sick, can Yue'er go home?" ”
She thought, isn't this world the most important word filial piety, after all, the birth of the first queen mother in the palace is still early, even if she wants to accompany the eldest princess to embroider a double-sided embroidered screen, but is this matter better than her own mother's illness?
If the county lord of Yining is not in good health, and the Yuan family comes forward to ask for their daughter to come back, can Empress Jiang not be allowed to do this?
Empress Jiang was indeed wholeheartedly guarding against the Yuan family, fearing that the Yuan family would help the Nine Kings rebel.
But she would definitely also think that if she pressed step by step and forced the Yuan family to breathe, would the Yuan family still let her be forced into a desperate situation?
The county lord of Yining's eyes lit up, and then it dimmed again, "My body is so good, if I pretend to be sick, as long as Queen Jiang sends a doctor over at will, she will be a gangster, which will anger Queen Jiang, and when the time comes, it will backfire and make my Yue'er suffer, but it will not be good." ”
Now the masters of the Zhenguo Mansion have a headache and brain fever, and the palace will send a doctor to come over for consultation.
The good thing is that the doctors are superb in the end, and some minor diseases are eliminated.
But the disadvantage is that the dependents in the mansion have no privacy, and it is too easy for Queen Jiang to know the physical condition of the Yuan family.
Therefore, I am afraid that it will not be used to pretend to be sick.
Besides, if it was just an ordinary occasional cold, the county lord would be embarrassed to beg Queen Jiang to let her go.
When such a thing is said, people will only think that the county lord is pampered and arrogant, regardless of the queen mother's birthday, but it is not beautiful.
Cui Ling secretly laughed, "Then what if even the imperial doctor diagnoses it, and thinks it's a great serious illness?" ”
She opened a pair of clear and bright big eyes, sparkling in the light, "If my sister-in-law is very sick, then Queen Jiang will also refuse?" ”
The county lord of Yining was stunned, "What do the fifth brothers and sisters mean, do you mean that I am really sick?" ”
She thought for a while, "As long as you can get Yue'er out of the palace, it doesn't hurt if you are really sick." The fifth brother and sister don't know, in fact, I also thought about this method, the last time I saw the second brother and sister sick like that, I also wanted to try to see if I could be infected with the wind cold, but I wore a single coat and walked in the cold wind several times, and I was still alive and jumping, nothing at all. ”
There was some helplessness and pity in the county lord's tone.
She really walked around the yard in the middle of the night without a cloak in the cold winter wax moon, and the result was really strange, the girls who walked with her all had a high fever the next day, but she didn't do anything at all.
In addition to the wind and cold, she really can't think of other ways to get sick.
Cui Ling hurriedly said, "Who said that my sister-in-law is really sick?" Phew, I mean ......"
She whispered in the ear of the county lord of Yining, and then winked at her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I heard Ji Du say that there is such a medicine, as long as there is one, you will definitely be able to get it." When the time comes, let's let Dr. Wang see if this thing is used or not, and if it is really feasible, it is not too late to do it again. ”
The county lord of Yining thought about it, and finally nodded solemnly, "Then let's do it!" ”
Who made Queen Jiang so unkind, otherwise, they wouldn't have to take risks, right? (To be continued......)
