Chapter 10: The King of Chu

Chunjia went to see the Empress Dowager this time and was still treated coldly.

The female official politely but also coldly and distantly told him: "The Empress Dowager just got up, but she was a little dizzy, so she went back to lie down, and now it is not appropriate to disturb." ”

"Unknown Imperial Grandmother, has she ever summoned the Imperial Doctor?" Chunjia didn't think it was angry at all, and his face was concerned, just like a real filial son and grandson, he asked for warmth, and cared about it for half an hour, and then left with a worried face.

I don't know that I think he is not only the grandson of the Queen Mother, but also the kind of filial piety and considerateness.

When he left, the female official entered to give the Empress Dowager her life.

The Empress Dowager, who did not go back to lie down on the couch and looked at her spirits, was in a complicated mood, and said: "So the mourning family is reluctant to see him, since he ascended the throne, he has been pretending so far, although standing in the position of the monarch, I can't help but admire his perseverance and forbearance, but the mourning family really doesn't want to see that hypocritical face." ”

"If you don't want to see it, then we won't see it." The henchman who has been with her for decades sighed and handed over a warm honey rose drink, and sighed, "What is your identity and age, and you are not qualified to be willful?" There is no one to worry us about now, you can do whatever you like. Your Majesty, he is willing to bear it, and if he doesn't want to bear it, he has to bear it! Who told him to be this filial grandson? If he is willing to do this, you can just call him as a grandson! ”

The Empress Dowager sighed: "It's a pity that this grandson is just pretending to be filial, where is the real filial piety?" You see, he hasn't seen him twice, his patience is almost the same, and then he should use means to force the mourning family to go back to the palace. lest he himself be dragged here. ”

Originally, the Empress Dowager insisted on staying in the Taoist Temple, but the emperor persuaded her to no avail, and the queen brought her concubine to serve, and the Son of Heaven returned to the palace to deal with government affairs.

After all, there are also sons and grandsons who leave home thousands of miles away to become officials, leaving their daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law to serve the elderly.

But now that the Taoist temple is on fire, this one is different.

Although the Empress Dowager was not harmed or even disturbed in any way, since there is such a piece, out of the importance of the Empress Dowager, this place should be temporarily zoned as a "dangerous place".

The son of a daughter can't sit down, let alone the very noble queen mother?

According to filial piety, Chunjia not only had to rush over immediately after receiving the news to say goodbye, but also had to take people to a safer palace.

If the Empress Dowager insists on refusing to go, of course, the filial grandson will have to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, and the elders cannot be left alone in danger.

But it is inconvenient for the Taoist temple to deal with government affairs, and Chunjia is a diligent politician, how can he stay for a long time?

He didn't want to stay, and he didn't want to bear the reputation of not being filial enough to the Empress Dowager, so he could only try to get the Empress Dowager to go back with him.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Ouyang Yanran, the regent and other important ministers and clan relatives arrived one after another, all to invite the empress dowager back to the palace.

Standing in the position of the regent, he should be eager to see Chunjia being harassed by the Empress Dowager, the problem is that he is also the younger generation of the Empress Dowager, Chunjia sent someone to tell him in public that it was not safe to walk through the water, and let him help persuade the Empress Dowager to leave the Taoist Temple in order to make a plan, can he refuse?

If he dares to refuse, Chunjia will be able to spread his head to his behavior of not taking his mother's life and death seriously.

So he had to come together.

The emperor took the lead, and a group of clans and ministers knelt at the door of the courtyard to ask the empress dowager to think twice, asking her to take the phoenix body as the priority, and some people even asked her to focus on state affairs.

The Empress Dowager had expected it and sent a female official to tell them that the Empress Dowager was going back to the palace in the next two days, but she kept dreaming of the former Empress and Kang Jieyu, and she felt uneasy, so she couldn't bear to leave.

The monarch understood that this was a condition for negotiation, and Chunjia considered it and expressed his willingness to posthumously seal these two.

Anyway, everyone is dead, the family is destroyed, and mourning is just a holy decree.

So the former queen Ji Lingzi was posthumously named Queen Duanhui, and Kang Jieyu was Concubine Tian.

This promise was made, and the Empress Dowager finally relented and agreed to return to the palace.

It's just that her identity can't just leave, and the specific date of returning the car is set three days later, and she has to put down the cage or something in these three days...... In short, it is some preparation before the departure.

Seeing this, Chunjia went back to the palace the next day, planning to come over to accompany her when she left.

Before he left, he went to see Yun Fenghuang, and she stared at the Empress Dowager and Mrs. Roukun, lest the two of them do anything.

"Lady Roukun is full of love for Your Majesty, but Your Majesty is still worried?" Yun Fenghuang deliberately teased him, "It's that the concubine needs to worry about Mrs. Roukun coming to find the concubine." ”

Chun Jia snorted: "Wei Su, Ke He Dunxing, maybe there is any news for her?" ”

"Then she will immediately go and tell Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty will praise her." Yun Fenghuang said lazily, "Where is the need to stare at the concubine?" ”

said that, in fact, Chunjia didn't have to greet her to make people look at these two.

Even Concubine Wan and Xuan Zhaoyi also arranged eyeliner.

It's not just suspicion, the point is that she wants to set fire to someone who preempts her, and she blames her for being insecure.

Due to her unfamiliarity with Shanyuanguan, she had no clue about the culprit of this water walk, and in order to hide her original intentions, she couldn't even show any doubts.

So, knowing that there is a master around you who will set fire in the middle of the night, can you not guard against it?

Although she left some henchmen to take care of the imperial heirs and nieces in the palace when she went out this time, she also brought enough manpower.

This arrangement was not in vain, and in the evening after Chunjia left, Chen Zhu came over to tell the Empress Dowager that there was an abnormality: "Just now, there was an eye-catching Dao Gu who entered the Empress Dowager's courtyard. In the past two days, the slave and maid have looked up and down the Shanyuan view, including the rough envoy, and there is no such person in it. Moreover, the slave always felt that the man was a little strange. ”

Yun Fenghuang asked, "What's the weird method?" ”

"I can't tell." Chen Zhu groaned, "I just think something is wrong...... It's just that the slave's brain can't be turned around for a while! ”

"Has that Dao Gu been in for a long time? Can it come out? ”

Chen Zhu said that he had been in for a while, and he had not come out when he left.

Yun Fenghuang thought about it, and said: "Beiyuan, this palace will go to the empress dowager to say goodbye!" ”

asked Chen Zhu again, "Take people to the Empress Dowager's residence and look around to see if there is a chance to block people." ”

After all, this Shanyuanguan is a place where the three generations of Feng masters of the Ji family have come and lived repeatedly, and not long after she set off here, Chen Zhu's little chamberlain who stayed outside the courtyard of the Empress Dowager rushed over and told him that the person had gone out and left, and quickly disappeared on the mountain road.

Chen Zhu's face changed when he heard this, and he reprimanded him for not following people well?

Niangniang is going to go out in person, but the person disappeared first!

What kind of words is this!

The little chamberlain was very aggrieved: "The slave and maid tried their best to follow, but the man seemed to be on guard, familiar with the nearby terrain, and also walked on the rugged mountain road...... The slaves and maids really can't keep up! ”

He was afraid that he would not be trusted, so he specifically described the terrain, which really required great physical strength and endurance to keep up, and he was still out of breath at this point.

"That's it, although we startled the snake, we can also be sure that this person is what the Empress Dowager doesn't want us to see." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said, "Go ahead and say hello to the Empress Dowager!" ”

This time was different from being summoned on her own initiative, the Empress Dowager did not see her in person immediately, but left people in the courtyard for a while, watching that it was dark, and then a palace maid came out to take her in.

After the salute, she was given a seat, and the Empress Dowager, who was slowly stirring a bowl of rock sugar lotus seed soup, said: "It's been such an hour, what are you doing without stopping and running to mourn the house?" ”

Yun Fenghuang said softly: "Ming'er is about to set off, I'm afraid that you have a lot of things here, and you are not suitable, so come and take a look." ”

"You want to do something, you should look for the lady in front of the mourner's house to listen to the instructions, but what are you doing when you come to ask to see the mourner?" The Empress Dowager said lightly, "There's nothing else to do?" ”

Seeing Yun Fenghuan shaking her head, she sneered and said, "In this case, don't come to disturb the mourning family!" ”

Just politely let her go.

Yun Fenghuan didn't move, and said with a smile: "When the concubine first came, she was worried about disturbing you, so she lingered outside for a long time, and she didn't dare to come and knock on the door to ask for a meeting. But fortunately, I was so cautious, because I was hesitating, and I found that there was someone here. The concubine originally wanted to ask someone to call that person, so as to ask how you are feeling here, and you are willing to summon the concubine. As a result, the people seemed to be very busy, so they hurried to take a photo, and dropped something down, and the concubine saw it from a distance, and asked someone to pick it up and chase it. I don't know if I'll catch up at this time? ”

The Empress Dowager was unmoved by this temptation, and said calmly: "A monk is called over to recite the Taoist scriptures for the mourning family, if the concubine is interested, you might as well let someone tell you about it, lest your mind to see the sky is not pure, either calculating this or calculating that." ”

"This can't be helped, after all, although the concubine has never given birth to herself, she also has both children and daughters." Yun Fenghuang said softly, "This person, when he is alone, he is fine, but when he is old and young, where is his mind pure?" It's either thinking about this or that. We must not only plan far-reaching for our children, but also think about how to be filial to our elders so that they can smile often...... It's really tiring to think about. However, looking at the cute appearance of the children and the strength of the elders, the concubine felt comfortable. ”

This is very malicious for the Empress Dowager, because her family is gone, her biological son Xiaozong also died at a young age, and even her nieces and grandnieces have died.

The problem is that among the three granddaughters, the two granddaughters who have declined do not get along with her very much, and the relationship is not particularly close.

And the descending eldest princess has her own life, Yun An is still pregnant, where do you often think of the grandmother of the Queen Mother?

After all, Minghui is from the Ji family, and she wants to be more affectionate to the Empress Dowager, but she also has a predictable future.

Yun Fenghuan's words, the degree of punishment can be imagined.

The Empress Dowager was silent for a moment before she said: "If you want to be so busy, just be busy, don't be busy." ”

He waved her hand and told her to leave.

Yun Fenghuang left the Empress Dowager, so he asked Chen Zhu to borrow two hunting dogs to try to track down the Dao Gu.

But the other party apparently had expected it, and the hound eventually lost its direction completely after crossing two streams...... This was in the middle of the night, and the next morning Yun Fenghuang got up to get the notice, frowned for a while and said: "That's it, if it is so easy to find, the Empress Dowager will not think that the empress dowager will summon the other party in the blue sky." But this also shows that this person is suspicious and even important. ”

"Niangniang, do you want to talk to Your Majesty about this? Most of that person is a remnant of the Ji family. Chen Zhu hesitated and asked, "The Ji clan has been in power for many years, and the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, maybe what is he planning in private?" ”

Yun Fenghuang nodded and said: "I said that I would definitely say it, but now that Your Majesty comes to serve the Empress Dowager back, there is no need to make extraneous branches, and it will also distract Your Majesty." and wait for the Empress Dowager to go back to the palace, and then tell Your Majesty in private. ”

However, after the emperor personally returned to the palace with the empress dowager on this day, Yun Fenghuang and the emperor did not care about this matter, because the king of Chu was sick.

The biological mother of King Chu, who ranked fifth among the princes, was Hanwei, but because she was the prince adopted by Gu Zhen after being registered, she was the nominal son-in-law.

is also the only sister-in-law under Chunjia's knees.

He is sick, even if it is just an ordinary wind and cold, but it is not easy for a child to raise at this time.

The children of rich and noble families are especially delicate.

Gu Zhen's anxious tears basically never stopped, and when he heard that the emperor was back, he immediately sent someone to invite him over, saying that he would thoroughly investigate the upper and lower floors of Woxia where he lived, and suspected that he had been manipulated.

Although Chunjia is not as messy as her, her face is also very dignified.

Even if he didn't care about the life and death of the King of Chu himself, the political significance of this son, as well as the guarantee or guarantee given to the Gu family, all determined that once Gongxiangqiu made a mistake, his entire plan would be disrupted.

It's just that the results of a thorough investigation, as well as the testimony of the imperial doctor, all prove that no one murdered the king of Chu, and the reason why he got the wind cold was completely accidental, or that his body and bones were congenitally weak. Therefore, he and the three princes were taken by their respective nurses to walk around the corridor for a while, the three princes were safe and sound, but the five princes did not eat the mountain breeze Xiao Xiao, and turned around and got hot.

"This kid lands and says it's okay from time to time?" Yun Fenghuang was a little puzzled, "Why is it that your body is weak in a blink of an eye?" ”

"Who knows how the queen raised people?" Wei Hengyan, who was at the bottom, pinched the handkerchief and looked angry, she came to complain and ask for help, "I just summoned my sister over there, and the meaning of the words is to suspect that after the king of Chu landed, to the days before being sent to the queen's mother, my sister didn't care about it, so that the king of Chu fell ill!" Sister, what do you say...... Isn't this a deliberate attempt to pick a bone in an egg?! The palace prohibits raising the imperial heir with rules and regulations, and my sister obviously comes according to the rules! Besides, when the King of Chu hugged the queen mother, who didn't say that he was white and tender and cute and strong?! ”

"It's been more than half a year since my sister was raised, and she was simply bullying people too much!"

Yun Fenghuang soothed: "This palace doesn't know you yet? The most straightforward - Zi doesn't have that bad heart, how can you be bad to King Chu? The queen is also in a daze, and for the sake of the face of the king of Chu, don't worry about the queen. When the king of Chu is fine, this palace will definitely help you to ask the queen for an explanation! ”

She reminded meaningfully, "Speaking of which, Princess Zhaoqing has been sealed for a few days, and it is not a matter that the three princesses do not have a title yet." ”

Wei Hengyan suddenly turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile: "It's still my sister who feels sorry for my sister!" ”

Although it is a matter of time before he knows that his daughter will be crowned a princess, it is always an honor to receive the canonization in advance, and it seems that the emperor is extra favorable, who would refuse?
