Chapter Ninety-Eight: Concubine Min's Mysterious Guest
When a few people returned to the princess's mansion, it was almost time. When he came back, Xiaole had already prepared hot water for bathing and asked Shen Qianfeng to take a good bath. As soon as he changed into a clean underwear, Jiang Qi directly pushed the door and walked in.
As if the two had telepathy a long time ago, Shen Qianfeng still didn't find it. Just continue what you want to do and sit at the small table in your room. Unfolded a blank sheet of paper, struggling to write.
Jiang Qi walked over suspiciously, and saw that it was Xiao Feng'er writing a letter. When he saw the above content, he sighed: "Xiao Feng'er, does Xiao Fox have a child here?"
"Brother Qi, are you doubting my medical skills?"
Glared at by his own woman, Jiang Qi touched his head embarrassedly: "No, no! Indeed, Shi Niang died in childbirth when she gave birth to a little civet." This matter has always been a hurdle in the little sister's heart. He snatched the pen from Shen Qianfeng's hand, made it on the table and said: "I know the purpose of your letter, and I will do this matter! ”
She picked up the girl, and then sat on the chair and looked at her dotingly: "I've been a little busy lately, I'm afraid I won't have much time to accompany you in the future." But don't worry, I will definitely not fall behind in matters of cultivation. ”
Shen Qianfeng lay in his warm embrace and said with some complaints: "Why are you still so busy, is there something wrong with the imperial court?"
Jiang Qi stretched out his finger and hung the bridge of her small nose: "You, whenever you encounter something, you have to rush up and solve it as soon as possible." It's really a hard life. ”
"You also said, if it weren't for Brother Qi, why would I have broken my heart. Shen Qianfeng reached out and pinched the nose of the handsome man on his head: "Say, what is the matter?"
The man did smile and played a dumb riddle to her: "Of course, it is for our wedding preparations, Feng'er, you just wait honestly to be your bride." ”
"Hmm!" Shen Qianfeng's eyelids were a little heavy and couldn't open them, and he said in a daze: "Brother Qi, I'm sleepy!"
Jiang Qi picked her up, walked to the side of the bed, put her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and turned around and left the room. When he turned around and closed the door, he saw a shadow standing not far from the entrance of the small courtyard.
When I walked over, I saw Hang Min's standing there in a daze, and only after a long time did he say, "Aren't you going to accompany your Royal Highness the Princess?"
"No, there's a lot to deal with. ”
Hang Min wanted to leave the person in front of him to talk, even if there was no fate between husband and wife in this life. But for the sake of former friends, there's nothing wrong with chatting together.
Seeing that there was still some time left, Jiang Qi said, "You have a quarter of an hour." ”
Hang Min smiled: "You are still the same as when you were a child, forget it, you should still handle your affairs." Anyway, I won't leave here for a while. ”
Looking at Jiang Qi's distant back, there was a tenderness in his eyes. But the person he saw in his eyes was indeed not Jiang Qi, not the prince of the empire. It's just a woodcutter in a mountain village, a man who can lay down his life for himself at any time. This is the man who has completely disappeared from this world and will never appear again.
She had sworn in front of that man's tombstone that she would repay this man for a hundred years for her feelings. After a hundred years, maybe you can still meet your beloved, and if you can't meet it, it's not a big deal. can only walk on this slow path of cultivating immortals alone.
Wuyue Palace, the emperor did not come tonight. Instead, he stayed in the Fengqi Palace of the queen mother, which had been discussed between the two women for a long time. It's just because there is a more important guest coming to the Moon Palace tonight.
For the sake of this guest, Concubine Min told Concubine Li that she had secretly changed her two children. In fact, the queen also thought about some signs of this matter. It's just that I'd rather imprison the only witness in the palace than uncover that woman's despicable tricks.
The emperor may have his own plans, and it is impossible for the two harem women to ask about this matter in a big way. So it has been delayed for so many years, and now the children have grown up. It should also be the time of the reckoning, and the emperor does not want this to happen. But according to the current Min Concubine and the queen's hole cards, it is enough.
That night, the queen finally slept next to her wife, and years of guilt made the two of them hungry together. It's lonely in the middle of the night, and it's Ini again in the bed. The emperor must be a person who is almost fifty years old, although he eats the medicine prepared by Concubine Min every day. But I still refused to be able to do it with my concubine for one night.
When a man falls asleep on top of you, she also feels very tired. The palace maid who was waiting in the outer hall came in to serve, and entered the bath to take a bath. After changing his clothes, he dragged his tired body out of the palace.
At this moment, Situ Min and the others had already come.
The Moon Palace, above the front hall. A tall girl knelt in front of Concubine Min, looking to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. The green little face has a bit of fortitude, but with a bit of bright color.
"Not bad, not bad. I really didn't expect you to be promoted so quickly. Concubine Min smiled, thinking that the cultivation qualifications of the descendants of the Jiang family were really too high, whether it was her daughter. and the daughter of this concubine is so good.
The girl kneeling on the ground is the daughter of the emperor and Concubine Li, the baby girl who was abandoned by Concubine Li.
"Yu'er, hurry up. ”
Jiang Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, was motionless, and Concubine Min said when she had no choice: "It's not that I won't let you see your mother, it's just that my heart is still in time." ”
Jiang Yan raised her head with a trembling voice in her voice: "I want to ask in front of her why I want to get rid of my own child with my own hands." If it weren't for the fact that the mother had saved the child's life for many years, it would be impossible for the child to be now. ”
Concubine Min beckoned: "Child, come here!"
Jiang Yan came to Concubine Min and sat down, and Concubine Min stretched out her hand to stroke the black hair of the girl opposite. whispered comfort: "It's not that I don't report it, the time has not come." Allowing you to come over this time is also what I meant after discussing it with the queen. I just want to use the reason why Princess Qianfeng and your third brother got married. shake out the things of the year. Most of the power of the empire is basically in the hands of your third brother and Princess Qianfeng. But I'm still going to ask you, in case this matter is exposed. The Situ family will definitely hold your life, after all, you are the emperor's child. It's just your biological mother, I'm afraid even if the emperor doesn't kill her. The people of the Xiyue Kingdom will definitely not be able to let go of this person. ”
Concubine Min just wanted to make sure again that this child really looked down on everything. It must be the biological mother who was pregnant in October. But when she never expected it, Jiang Yan was more cold and free than anyone else of the same generation.
It's just a little moment, and the waves that come with the kindness of her biological mother have been calmed down in her psyche.
"From the moment I opened my eyes, I knew you were my mother. This will never change in this life. Whoever does something wrong will be punished. Jiang Yan cried, tears oozed from the corners of her eyes, she was also an ordinary girl. The longing for the mother of life also haunts my heart all the time.
But she knew that she couldn't go to see her birth mother. Once her identity reveals what awaits her, it is the beginning of a mother's decades-long dream break. When you are a child, you can comfort yourself, and when the time is still early, you can slowly wait until you grow up.
Now that she's twenty-three years old, she can't wait any longer. The longer she waited, the more tormented her heart became.
Concubine Min sighed: "Okay, if you really think about it." Tomorrow, go out of the palace with me and go to see your younger brother, the third prince, Jiang Qi. ”
Jiang Yan nodded in agreement, and Concubine Min asked her personal palace maid to take Jiang Yan to rest in the conservatory of the side hall.
When it was almost dawn, Concubine Min was woken up by the palace maid. The palace maid Shuang'er didn't dare not wake up her master, but the one outside was the queen's mother.
Concubine Min, who learned the truth, got up and put on her clothes, and hurriedly walked out of the bedroom. I saw where the woman was sitting with a somewhat weak body, and beckoned when she saw her coming.
Concubine Min felt a little uncomfortable, and reached out to her bedroom. A small porcelain bottle flew into her hand, and after the last salute, she handed the bottle over.
"Sister, you eat one first. Concubine Min saw the queen's appearance and said, "You have been frozen in ice for more than ten years, and your body functions seem to have stopped." Although the toxins are cleaned, they should not be excessively depleted. ”
The queen glanced at her: "You said it well, if it weren't for Yu'er's business today." I would have driven the emperor out of the Moonless Palace a long time ago. He said angrily as he took out a pill from a small porcelain bottle and put it in his mouth and swallowed it.
The pill melts as soon as it enters the throat and flows through the body with the juice. The next moment, the queen felt that the cold lower abdomen began to feel warm, which made her feel a lot more comfortable.
In addition to being surprised, he remembered the case about Shen Xiongfei that would start tomorrow. I really couldn't sleep, so she bracked up her body to play a routine with Concubine Min.
As for what the topic of discussion is, no one knows, it is what the girl who suddenly appeared in the Moonless Palace looks like. The little palace maid who sent a message to Concubine Li was also vague.
In the past two days, Concubine Li has been having nightmares, and the face of a little girl always appears in her dreams. Hideous and terrifying, now after hearing the little palace maid's return, he fell ill all of a sudden.
When the emperor woke up early in the morning, he cleaned up comfortably and went to the court. and instructed the palace maids below not to wake up the queen.
When the emperor walked into the council hall, he saw the civil and military officials and his five sons standing on the top of the hall to salute themselves. The emperor walked to his dragon chair and sat down and waved his hand, and as soon as he shouted, a eunuch outside the hall broke in.
ran to the center of the main hall, and knelt down with a plop of his legs: "The emperor doesn't want it, Concubine Li is sick." And the illness is not light, and the people in the hospital are helpless. Can you invite Her Royal Highness the princess into the palace to take a look? ”
"Bold!" The crown prince, who was standing at the front, walked out and pointed to the eunuch kneeling in the main hall, and said in an atmospheric manner: "Who is Her Royal Highness the princess? ”
The crown prince and the third prince have always been out of the same nostril, and now His Royal Highness the prince jumped out to let the second prince personally bow to the third prince in front of the civil and military officials. You don't look down and you can only watch your mother become terminally ill.
The second prince has always been the one who flaunts himself with filial piety outside, and he immediately understands the twists and turns in it. The emperor doesn't mind watching the things that a few children have in the open and in the dark, and the right is just to watch a good show before dealing with political affairs.
"Third brother, do you think my brother and sister can come to the palace today?"
Jiang Qi shook his head directly and then said, "I'm afraid it won't work during the day, she will take Aunt Lan to see the trial." ”
When the trial of the case was mentioned, the prince's expression also changed. Immediately after that, Jiang Qi's words changed: "However, you can go and invite another person." It is also possible to heal your mother. ”
The second prince immediately humbly asked: "Please, the third brother informs!"
"Wu Qingfeng!"
"Dean of the Imperial Medical College!" then glanced at his dear father sitting in the dragon chair.
The emperor waved his hand: "Go! Today, the court has discussed that there is nothing else to do except your third brother's wedding." Second, it doesn't matter if you're there. ”
The emperor's words completely cooled the heart of the second prince Jiang Feng, but now he is unwilling to leave. From childhood to adulthood, this mother is heaven for him. Without the heavens to support him, he would not be where he is today.
As he left the main hall, he glanced back again, as if to tell everyone. One day he'll be back, sitting in that high position. When the time comes, no one can underestimate themselves.
After the second prince left, the emperor said in a loud voice: "Qi'er, after a while, the envoys of various countries will enter the imperial capital. The wedding of the two of you will be held half a month after Princess Qianfeng and Lu. What else could you want for this wedding? ”
What do you want to get, if the third prince wants this throne? Judging from the strength of the princes now, anyone can close the three princes' hard breath. There is the most powerful corps of the empire, the Imperial God Army, and the wife who is going to command the other large army Feng Lingwei in her hands. Not to mention that behind her was the Situ family, most of which were immortal cultivators who could fly to the heavens and the earth.
In fact, there is no need for the emperor to say anything, as long as the third prince opens his mouth, the emperor of the empire is definitely his. But Jiang Qi smiled mysteriously at this time: "Father's words count?"
"Of course?"
Jiang Qi knelt down and saluted: "Then give the Tianci Mountain Villa to the sons!"
