CHAPTER XI. 3
"Yuzhu, you tell me, it's not true." Xiao Yiqing stepped forward and looked at Yuzhu in disbelief and asked.
Yuzhu pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Lord Xiao, you don't believe me. Then she looked at the emperor again, bowed and saluted: "The emperor is tired of asking the imperial doctor to come over and take the pulse of Yuzhu." ”
Dugu Yanxiang waved his hand at Ning Chun'an, and Ning Chun'an went out.
After a while, he walked in with an imperial doctor and said, "Imperial Doctor Shen, please give this girl a pulse." ”
Dugu Yanxiang sat down with the Queen Mother, and ordered someone to move a chair for Yuzhu to sit down.
Yuzhu stretched out his arm, and the imperial doctor put Fang Juanpa on Yuzhu's wrist, and stretched out his hand to skillfully check the pulse.
Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he stretched out, sometimes with his left hand, sometimes with his right hand. After changing it two or three times, he got up and stroked his beard and said, "The girl's veins are fluent, like a bead, I'm afraid it's been a month." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yiqing sat on the ground as if he had woken up from a dream. All the ministers also looked at Dugu Yanxiang tremblingly.
Dugu Yanxiang looked down at everyone and said sharply: "Zhongqing is still satisfied with this result, come on, Liao Qingyuan, Li Qing, Xiao Yiqing, Zhang Chong and others despised the imperial power in court, hooked the king of Beixuan, and put these people in the prison, waiting to be released." ”
"Emperor, since today's matter has been clarified, and there is a happy event coming to the Beixuan Palace, all the secretaries are also for the stability of my big Jiang Jiangshan, and the mourning family thinks that this matter should not be investigated deeply." The Queen Mother persuaded.
"Queen Mother," Dugu Yanxiang said to the Queen Mother unconvinced.
But the Queen Mother shook her head and interrupted him with a look: "Emperor, the law does not blame the public, hey, the mourning family will ask for a favor for the ministers, and please let Your Majesty take it lightly." ”
Dugu Yanxiang looked at the courtiers and understood what the queen mother meant, if he punished the ministers heavily, I am afraid that no one will be loyal to him in the future.
So he pondered again and again and said: "Since the queen mother intercedes for the queen, and I can't refute the queen mother's face, then punish you for waiting for a year to serve Lu!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Empress Dowager." The ministers bowed down and said.
Everyone was grateful to the emperor for forgiving them, but Liao Qingyuan thought that he was a handful of years, so he boasted about Haikou in front of the ministers and said: If the king of Beixuan is not a woman, he will die on the Jinluan Palace.
What kind of face does he have to face the world, maybe out of this Jinluan Palace, the hundred officials will point fingers at him behind his back, he is a wise person, is he really going to be ruined here?
Thinking like this in his heart, his face could no longer be hung up, and he got up and rushed straight towards the marble pillar in the center of the hall, and read in his mouth: "The old man has no shame to the world! ”
All the ministers exclaimed: "Taifu Liao." But no one came forward to stop him.
Only Shangguan Beitang's hand was quick, and he grabbed Taifu Liao's official robe, which made his momentum lighter, and he only hit a big bag on his forehead, but it was no big problem.
Liao Qingyuan looked at Shangguan Beitang and said: "Why did the king of Beixuan save me, it was the old man who was clumsy, and he blamed the prince." ”
After all, Shangguan Beitang felt ashamed, and helped Taifu Liao up and said: "Why is the old lady like this, you are always thinking about Da Jiang and the people on the border. How can this king really teach you to lose this life in vain? ”
Then he paused and said: "Besides, you are Your Majesty's mentor and the minister of Da Jiang's humerus, how can you give your life for this trivial matter, if you really go like this, it will be difficult for Your Majesty and I to live in peace." ”
"Yes, teacher, don't think about it, it's good to take care of your days!" Dugu Yanxiang also said.
The ministers also dissuaded him, and Liao Qingyuan no longer cared about this matter.
Liao Qingyuan looked at Shangguan Beitang and arched his hand and said: "King Beixuan is magnanimous and magnanimous, a heroic young man, and the old man admires him."
Shangguan Beitang also said embarrassedly: "Old lady, it's over." Xiao Wang was ashamed and didn't dare to be right. ”
Dugu Yanxiang saw that this matter was over, so he asked again: "What else do you have to play, if there is nothing to do, then retreat!" ”
Dugu Yanxiang looked at the backs of the courtiers leaving, and finally understood how many obstacles were between him and Beishang.
The Queen Mother looked at her son and said, "Do you see clearly now?" The world will not accept a woman as king. Even though they are loyal to you and have a lot of respect for you, none of them will compromise on this matter. ”
"Queen Mother, you expected this to be the case, that's why you set up this bureau with Yuzhu, didn't you?" Dugu Yanxiang asked.
"So what? Isn't it? Today's events have finally passed without danger. The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief.
Shangguan Beitang pulled Yuzhu back into the house and asked angrily, "What is going on today?" ”
Yuzhu raised his eyes to look at him, and said expressionlessly: "Everything is as the prince has seen." ”
"Tell me, where did this kid come from? What else have you hidden from this king? Shangguan Beitang grabbed Yuzhu's shoulders and asked anxiously.
"Lord Wang, it's not that Yuzhu is sincere in hiding it from you, it's just that all this is for the sake of the prince." Yuzhu said.
"For the sake of this king, for the sake of this king, can you betray yourself? Say, who taught you all this? Shangguan Beitang asked.
Yuzhu shook his head: "No one teaches slaves and maids, it is slaves and maids who are willing."
"Yourself, heh," Shangguan Beitang sneered, "You will make this bureau so big, this king will be tried in court, and you will be able to get pregnant." Did you also calculate that this king would have such a day, so he quit the marriage early? ”
Yuzhu's tears slid down the corners of her eyes, and Shangguan Beitang was distressed when she looked at her sobbing softly. Yes, how can he not feel sorry for her, she grew up with him and took him as the master. Now he ruined his happiness for him. How could he not be distressed.
"Tell me, who the hell is it?" Shangguan Beitang asked again.
"Lord Wang, don't ask, okay?" Yuzhu said crying.
"What about the child, whose child is it?"
Yuzhu didn't speak, just cried silently.
Shangguan Beitang suddenly became angry, drew his long sword from the scabbard hanging on the side, and shouted, "Xiao Yiqing, I will kill you." ”
As he spoke, he rushed out of the house, and Yuzhu hurriedly fell to the ground when he saw this, hugged his legs, and cried: "Lord Wang, don't go." Not him, not him. ”
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Shangguan Beitang stood still and said.
"Does the prince think it could be him? If it's him, then I'll be married. Yuzhu said again, "Lord, do you still remember that day when the Queen Mother summoned me to the palace." ”
Shangguan Beitang's body shook, only to feel that his brain was buzzing like thousands of flies flying, and it took him a long time to come to his senses and say, "It's the Queen Mother." ”
"On that day, the Queen Mother summoned slaves and maids into the palace on the grounds of sewing embroidered robes, and after that... Yuzhu told Shangguan Beitang about the events of that day.
After hearing this, Shangguan Beitang threw the long sword to the ground and sat down, hugged Yuzhu into his arms and said: "Sister Yuzhu, I am sorry for you and ruined the happiness of your life, you can beat me, scold me!" I'm going to take it all. ”
As he spoke, he pulled Yuzhu's hand and slapped it in his face.
Where would Yuzhu tolerate him like this, struggled to withdraw his hand, knelt down and said: "How can the prince make the slave and maid so disrespectful, the Beixuan Royal Mansion is kind to Yuzhu, and the slave and maid are difficult to repay the old prince's kindness even if they die, how can they watch the Beixuan Royal Mansion fall into trouble." Now it's time for Yuzhu to repay his kindness, and the prince really doesn't have to blame himself. ”
"After all, it is the Beixuan Palace's shame on you, and this king's shame on you." Shangguan Beitang's tears flowed.
Yuzhu stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, looked at him gently and said: "Yuzhu and the prince have grown up together since childhood. In Yuzhu's heart, the prince is my own sister, and it is Yuzhu's blessing to be able to do things for the prince. ”
"This king will enter the palace and ask the queen mother why she is doing this." Shangguan Beitang said that he was about to leave.
"What is the prince doing, the queen mother's plan is to avoid today's disaster." Yuzhu persuaded.
The two were talking, but they heard Uncle Qin outside clasp the door and said, "Lord, the will of the palace to canonize the side concubine has arrived." ”
Yuzhu looked at Shangguan Beitang and smiled slightly, her smile couldn't be said to be sad or helpless, maybe it was a compromise in this world.
Then he got up, straightened out his makeup and said, "Okay, lord, since the will has arrived, then we will do this scene enough." ”
"No, this king wants to tell the Queen Mother that she must not do this to you. The king bears his own life, and will never implicate others. With that, he stood up with tears in his eyes.
"Lord Wang, this matter has come to this point, we have no way out, do you really want to watch the entire Beixuan Royal Mansion being beheaded? That's hundreds of lives! Do you really bear it? Yuzhu tugged at his sleeve.
"But," Shangguan Beitang wanted to say something.
Yuzhu interrupted him: "If the prince really feels sorry for Yuzhu and feels ashamed of Yuzhu, then ask the prince to prepare a sedan chair for Yuzhu!" How about welcoming Yuzhu into the mansion openly? It's also a wish of Yuzhu. ”
Shangguan Beitang looked at her determined appearance, and finally said with tears in his eyes: "Okay, this king allows you to carry a sedan chair eight times and wear red makeup for ten miles." ”
On the day when the princess of Beixuan arrived, the whole street was lit up and lively. Everyone in the world said: Where is this Beixuan King accepting a side concubine, and the treatment of a concubine is just like this.
When the full moon rose in the evening, Shangguan Beitang sat alone in the pavilion and drank, Mu Nanfeng came over and joked with a smile: "Hey, how can this good groom official drink alone here, and he is not afraid to hang the bride who is like a flower and jade." ”
Shangguan Beitang didn't look up, drank the wine in his hand and said: "Brother Nanfeng, why bother to tease me like this, if you want to be this groom, this king will fulfill you." ”
"I'm afraid that I really become the groom of Yuzhu, and you're afraid that you will be the first one who won't let me go." Mu Nanfeng sat down and said, "However, then again, you are really good as a prince."
can not only hurt the hearts of the harem ladies, but also make the pedantic old men in the court half angry, which is really carefree. ”
"If Brother Nanfeng really thinks that this kind of thing is good in me, then I will give you everything. Teach me to be an idle cloud and wild crane, and it is good to be a free and easy person in the rivers and lakes. Shangguan Beitang shook his wine glass and said.
