Chapter 13: The Death of the King and His Ministers
Chun Yunian woke up, it was already the morning of the third day, she opened her eyes and looked at the bright yellow bed tent, and sighed long, if she died at this moment, she could still be buried with the queen's ceremony.
Nanxing and Banxia sent medicine in, and when they saw that she was awake, they hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, ......"
Banxia helped Chun Yunian sit up, her eyes glistening with tears.
Nanxing still looked worried, "Where are you uncomfortable, I'll call the Imperial Doctor......"
Chun Yunian took her hand and shook her head, "I'm fine," raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "Are you okay at home?" "Naturally, the question is Chun Yufu. Zhao Huan's actions that day were undoubtedly ready to take his identity accountable.
Nanxing lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at her, got up and brought the medicine on the table, "You drink the medicine first." β
She frowned and looked at her, it was possible to force her father to hand over the military power, Zhao Huan was not capable of putting Chun Yu's family to death, right? She drank the medicine as she said, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" β
Nanxing looked at his master, thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the third girl suddenly fell ill after returning home and died." She said very calmly, for her, nothing that had anything to do with Chun Yu Nian was not a big deal.
She looked at Nanxing in disbelief, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses, "Dead? β
"Yes, because it's going to be the New Year, the body should not be kept until the New Year, and the funeral will be held tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
"The twenty-seventh of the lunar month, this year there is only twenty-nine, and there are no thirty nights."
"Heh," she couldn't help but smile bitterly and handed the medicine bowl to Banxia, "dead...... It's good to be dead......" said a line of tears.
Nanxing was also bitter in his heart, raised his hand to wipe away her tears, took her into his arms, and said distressedly: "Master, let's go......"
She leaned against Nanxing, tears streaming silently. Now that she is gone, Chun Yu's family will definitely die! Besides, if you go like this, can you guarantee that Zhao Huan will not chase and kill?
"Did Zhao Huan anger his father because of this?"
"Regarding the matter of your identity, Your Majesty did ask the adults to ask about it, but the third girl died violently, and there is no proof of death."
Regardless of whether Chun Yuxi is really dead or faked, as long as there is no proof of death, Chun Yujia still has a chance. It is no longer possible to maintain a balance between them, and now whoever strikes first will have the upper hand. But Zhao Huan made the first move, and he couldn't match Chun Yujia's ruthlessness, and he attacked his own daughter.
Chun Yuxi is dead, who will be next?
"Your Majesty sympathizes with the white-haired man of Da Sima and sends the black-haired man, he is physically and mentally exhausted, let him go home to recuperate, and the position of Da Sima is now held by Zhao Cang, the king of Dongcheng."
Regarding these, it is naturally impossible for a little girl in Nanxing to know everything in detail, but she also knows about it from Ping'an's mouth. Now, the government and the opposition know that the Chun Yu clan has lost power, and if the Nie clan gives birth to a prince again, Chun Yu Nian's posterior position may also be in jeopardy.
Banxia looked at his master, he was really distressed, and finally couldn't help but say: "Master, the things that should be prepared can't be delayed any longer." You are in love, but have others ever been sincere to you? β
Banxia woke up the dreamer with a word, this girl said it well, if Zhao Huan doesn't force her to death, she will become the abandoned son of Chun Yu's family.
"You go and prepare, find an opportunity to inform Wang Chen Li Lian, and when I have taken care of my body, we will leave."
Banxia answered, a long-lost smile appeared on his face, and went out with the medicine bowl. It wasn't until she saw the backs of the two of them disappear outside the door that she dared to let go of her tense nerves and collapsed limply on the bed, feeling tired even for breathing.
Walk? Zhao Huan allowed her to leave with his secret? Once she leaves the palace, he is afraid of digging three feet into the ground, and he will find her out. At that time, I am afraid that my grandfather in Qiongzhou will rarely be at peace, and it will be even more difficult for Chunyu to escape his bad luck. Although her father was unkind to Chun Yuxi, she always had a trace of luck, her father would not be so ruthless to her, and she would not be able to plant the root of the curse with her own hands.
The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die; The Father wants the Son to die, and the Son has to die!
β¦β¦
Zhao Huan went down to the court, and when he heard that Chun Yu Nian woke up, he hurried to Chengqian Palace, and when he met Biyun serving her medicine, he took the medicine bowl and fed her personally.
Chun Yunian was extremely weak at the moment, and it was difficult to divide the energy to deal with him, and he didn't even want to talk to him. So I kept looking scared, and I just wanted to send him away quickly.
"Still not feeling well?" He cared.
"Well, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while."
Zhao Huan helped her fall asleep and tucked the quilt for her, "Rest well, don't think too much." As he spoke, he gently dropped a kiss on her forehead.
Xu was really tired, she really listened to him, and just closed her eyes and fell asleep. And he was still sitting on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at the person on the bed.
I sighed in my heart: "You shouldn't know so much, and you shouldn't be so smart." β
β¦β¦
Chun Yuxi was funeral on the 27th, and his mother Wang cried so much that she even stopped the coffin all the way to prevent her from going out. Chun Yujia had to let someone pull it, but she was thrown away by Wang, and she threw herself on the coffin, crying and screaming for her poor daughter.
"Pulling the second aunt away, delaying the hour, it's not good for everyone." Zhang frowned.
Although the subordinate felt pitiful, he still ruthlessly pulled people away and let the coffin go out. Wang Shi turned his eyes to look at her husband, and his heart became more and more painful, "Chun Yujia, it is said that tiger poison does not eat children, you are simply inferior to a beastββ"
Chun Yujia's face changed slightly, but he couldn't talk about being angry, and he closed his eyes and asked people to pull Wang down.
"Let go of me, I'll go myself!" She broke free from the person next to her and walked towards Chun Yujia step by step, Chun Yuyan was afraid that she would do something, so she grabbed her, "Second aunt-"
She turned her eyes to look at the young man in front of her, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and sneered: "Uncle, the road paved with your sister's bones, walk well in the future, be careful not to fall." β
"Minrou-" Chun Yujia couldn't help but stop it, "I know you're sad, but people can't be resurrected after death, you go down and rest, and I'll personally send Xi'er on the road." β
"Can't people come back to life after death? Then tell me, why should people die if they live well? Well? Keep one, kill one, that's what you're supposed to do as a father? Why can her daughter be the queen, and my daughter has to die? You tell me why! As if she was crazy, she stepped forward and grabbed Chun Yujia's shirt and questioned sharply.
Chun Yuyan wanted to step forward and pull this crazy woman over, but his father raised his hand to stop him, and he let her tear and move. When she was tired, she sat limply on the ground, hiding her face and crying bitterly.
He squatted down, rolled up his sleeves to wipe her tears, and said in a harmonious voice: "Nian'er is Junxiu's daughter, my Chun Yujia's daughter-in-law, Xi'er is my concubine, and you are my concubine." Today you are sad and overly talking nonsense, I will not investigate it for the time being, if you mention it again in the future, you will go down to accompany Xi'er. β
As he spoke, he got up and said to the left and right: "Help the second aunt go down to rest, Yan'er, Chuan'er, and send your sister on the road with your father." β
Chun Yuyan whispered yes, and went out with his father. Chun Yuchuan looked at his mother-in-law, sighed softly, and said to his wife: "Don't disturb the second aunt these days." β
Wei Shi felt strange, shouldn't he be more comforted? How can you let yourself not bother? Although she was full of doubts, she never questioned what her husband said, so she only whispered yes.
He glanced at his mother, then at Wang, and then went out after Chun Yuyan.
Zhang personally helped Wang to get up, and said softly: "You cried badly, if Xi'er knew under the spring, she would also be sad." β
Wang raised his eyes to look at her, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down, full of despair, "Madam, I'm not as good as the one who died!" β
"Don't talk nonsense, where will it be better to die."
Wang shook his head in despair and was helped into the house by his subordinates.
Zhang looked at the two daughters-in-law, sighed, and said lightly: "Today's events, listen to what you should hear, and don't hear anything if you shouldn't hear it." β
The two of them bowed their heads and said yes, but Chun Yuyan's family stepped forward to support her and said with concern: "It's cold outside, let's go into the house." β
Zhang nodded, followed the eldest daughter-in-law into the house, and suddenly turned back to the second daughter-in-law as if he remembered something: "Your second aunt is too sad, don't bother her in the next few days." β
Wei Shi answered, and her heart became more and more strange, why did her husband and mother-in-law tell her so much? At the same time, I was also wondering, who is that person named Zhan Yuli? Why is the whole house secretive about her?
β¦β¦
Since there are no 30 nights this year, the palace has been busy since the 28th. Chun Yunian's body has not been very good, and he lies in bed all day long, accompanied by Zhao Huan. Before, Chun Yu sent several groups of people to inquire about the condition, but he sent them back on the grounds that the queen had not woken up yet, and now that he was about to wake up, he asked her if she had let her family come to visit.
"If it's convenient, let the second brother come."
Although she is not too close to anyone in the family, Chun Yuchuan is better than others for her. Moreover, even if Zhao Huan didn't reveal her identity in front of her, everyone had already tacitly understood it, and she would no longer pretend to be in love with Zhang's mother and daughter.
Zhao Huan smiled and said, "Then I will go to the Empress Dowager first, and you will rest first." β
β¦β¦
When Chun Yuchuan arrived in the palace, it was already past noon, and the brother and sister first sat down to talk. Biyun was waiting beside her, but she sent them down, leaving only the two of them.
She looked at her second brother and said straight to the point: "Is Xi'er really dead?" β
He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect her to already know, "Whether it's true or not, it's always dead." He said calmly.
Hearing this, she knew in her heart, and she also felt that the question she asked was superfluous, "Are you saying this to relieve my heart?" "Don't answer directly, just tell her a result, probably just to keep her from thinking that her father is vicious, right?
"I hope you understand."
"How do I understand? Are you plotting to murder my husband? Or did you watch the Chunyu family die? She looked at her brother with a sad face, and her heart was pierced.
Chun Yuchuan had no way to answer her, this fate was doomed from the beginning, and now she can't choose.
"What does my father mean? Want me to be on the side of the Chun Yu clan? β
Chun Yuchuan sighed, "When I entered the palace, my father asked me to tell you to take good care of yourself, and you don't need to think about anything else." If you want to eat in Qingzhou, he sent someone to bring it to you. β
"What does this mean? Bought me ......"
"Nian'er!" He couldn't help but interrupt her loudly, "Father has no other meaning, sending you into the palace is really a last resort, why do you have to speculate about his actions with the most sinister heart?" β
Chun Yuchuan has never murdered her, not even speaking loudly, this is the first time.
Chun Yunian looked at him stunned, tears streaming down his face. He sighed, and also felt that what he had just said was heavy, reached out to wipe away the tears on her face, and said softly: "I sent you away from home back then, firstly, because you were weak, Mr. Xiao said that there was a good doctor in Qingzhou; The second is because Emperor Xuan was seriously ill and the prince was young, and the king of Dongcheng was waiting for an opportunity to prepare for the recovery. β
"That's why you sent me away? Don't leave a queen for Chun Yu's family? β
"I pretended to be a waiter and followed Mr. Xiao to Fanyang, and returned to the capital after Emperor Ming ascended the throne. Nian'er, I'm not saying good things for my father, I hope you will stand on Chunyu's side, even if that's the case, what can you do as a weak woman? β
"But my grandfather never mentioned ......"
"Mr. Xiao hated his father so much at that time, not to mention that he would send you to the palace later." He let out a long sigh, "The emperor took over his father's military power, which can be regarded as taking part of the rights, but it is not so easy to shake the big tree of the Chunyu clan. So, Nian'er, you have to take good care of your body and don't do stupid things. β
If she can't think of committing suicide, it is not certain whether Zhao Huan will ask Chun Yu's family about the crime, or Chun Yujia will be angry and no longer bear it.
"Can't it all be good?"
Hearing this, Chun Yuchuan laughed and reached out to puff the hair on her forehead, "Fool." β
β¦β¦
Chun Yunian wanted to leave him for dinner before leaving, but the rules in the palace are that except for the patrolling guards, no man can be left in the palace. Chun Yuchuan had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, and when he left, he gave her a pair of white jade bracelets, saying that they were made of warm jade, and they could be worn on the body to generate warmth, which was suitable for people like her.
She smiled and said, "Can it be used as a hand stove?" β
Chun Yuchuan also smiled, "Whether it's true or not, let's also have an auspicious picture." β
"Does my sister-in-law have it too?"
Chun Yuchuan felt a little strange, but he didn't ask: "She doesn't need it." β
She sighed, "Second brother, don't you think I look similar to my sister-in-law?" β
Chun Yuchuan's brows furrowed even deeper, this person didn't see how close she was with his wife when he was at home, but he was very estranged, why did he care so much about her at this time?
"You're like your birth mother."
Chun Yu thought about his brother's words for a long time, like a biological mother? No, birth mother?
