Chapter 6 The Storm is Coming

Nanchen is warm, it is close to late spring, most of the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming, and the palace concubines have nothing to do, and they love to sit here and talk. It's nothing more than those rumors in the deep palace, which concubine used any method to please the emperor, or which nobleman used any evil ways in order to be able to win the son in one fell swoop.

However, recently, there is a rumor in the palace that is even bizarre, about the princess, and the queen mother and Mrs. Rong were involved together.

In fact, it wasn't a big deal, Princess Yan liked Mrs. Rong, except for the difference in seniority, the rest were not shocking.

But Taifu Rong has a special status in the palace, he does not participate in court politics, does not go to the court, let alone meet the emperor, his only task is to teach the prince and the princess to read, and he is a corner who completely ignores Hongchen.

It stands to reason that such a two-sleeved Tsinghua lord is really a little wronged when he is involved in this turmoil, but as soon as he is mentioned, he has to mention the past between him and the queen.

It is rumored that the queen mother was still the down-and-out princess of the Beiyao Kingdom at that time, and she came to meet the assassination and fell off the cliff on the way to make peace with the Nanchen Kingdom, and happened to be rescued by Mrs. Rong.

Later, Emperor Lou Hui, who was still the prince at the time, traveled thousands of miles to arrest people, and went through all kinds of hardships before the two were officially married, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and after two days after the marriage, they stopped the days, and they met the battle for succession, and finally forced the queen to jump off the cliff to be quiet.

The world is unpredictable, the queen mother jumped off the cliff and happened to be caught up by Mrs. Rong who was passing by, he didn't say a word, and ran to the bottom of the cliff together, maybe God felt that they were pitiful, and in the end, the queen and Mrs. Rong did not die, but they could no longer be separated.

After that, the emperor tricked the two back to the palace, although they have the name of husband and wife with the queen, but the grievances and hatred between the three are probably known only to them.

This matter has always been a palace secret, and it is rumored in private that the tongue and head are going to be cut off, and on weekdays, no one dares to speak up to the palace masters, down to the eunuchs and palace maids, and now with the east wind of the princess, the secret that has been sealed for more than ten years finally has surfaced.

Nuan Jin, as the protagonist of this matter, doesn't know why at all, and still goes to the study on time every day, her prince's brother is not only busy with schoolwork, but also helps the emperor take care of the government, and he doesn't know anything about this matter at all, so that when the queen mother later mentioned people, the two of them were still there staring at each other in a daze.

"Catch me? What's wrong with me? The emperor's grandmother ordered you grandmothers to call people, it must be no good thing! I'm not going! ”

At the time of the accident, Princess Nuan Jin was drinking sweet soup in the East Palace, and as soon as the silver spoon was halfway raised, she was startled by a large group of grandmothers who suddenly came in.

Lou Xuanning frowned, slightly displeased: "What kind of place should you be here?" The courtyard of the harem concubines? Speaking of which, the mention of people just broke in? The main palace is still here! Do you think the head on your neck is too heavy to bear? ”

When the mother in the room saw that the prince had spoken, she was all stunned, and she didn't have time to think about it anymore and immediately knelt in a room.

Mama Gui is the old man who followed the Queen Mother, and she could still say a few words in front of the Queen Mother, and she straightened her chest when she heard the words, looking like a preachy grandmother: "The slaves and maids came to invite the princess to go to Cishou Palace to speak at the order of the Queen Mother." If you offend His Royal Highness the Prince, please forgive your sin. ”

said that it was forgiveness, but her old man's body was very straight, and she looked like she could help me, Lou Xuanning couldn't see their faces the most, and the queen mother supported them behind their backs, and they dragged without boundaries on weekdays.

In the past, he was embarrassed by a palace maid and eunuch, and he should not be able to see it, after all, he was the emperor's grandmother's person, but when he arrived in his East Palace, he was still so arrogant, all as if he was a transparent person?

"The imperial grandmother sent so many people to invite the princess, what is the so-called matter?"

Lou Nuanjin is lawless on weekdays, and she is still a girl's family at a critical time, she is afraid of the emperor's grandmother when she is a child, the one who is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she picks her nose and eyes endlessly, now that she thinks about it, the reason for this is estimated to be traced back to her mother.

"I'm not going, it's definitely not good for so many people to arrest me, and I can't get out when I enter Cishou Palace! Xuanning! The two of us are born from the same root, and you can't leave me alone at this time! ”

Lou Xuanning was not in the mood to listen to Nuan Jin's noise, waved his hand, and tilted his head slightly: "Why did you displease the imperial grandmother?" ”

"Me? I don't, I walk around the palace on weekdays, I walk around the Cishou Palace, I don't agree with the eight characters there, and I am rushing! How did you mess with the imperial grandmother? She just looks at me unpleasantly, she likes big brother, she doesn't like me! ”

As soon as Lou Xuanning frowned, Mama Gui over there opened her mouth: "Princess Yan said this, but she wronged the queen mother, all the nobles are the grandsons and granddaughters of her old man, which one is not the back of the palm?" You have a prejudice against the queen mother, but you don't talk about her old man like this, even if the emperor hears it, he will be displeased. ”

Nuan Jin's mouth was unobstructed, what he said was indeed substandard, Lou Xuanning was too lazy to worry about her, and blocked her with his arm, protecting her behind him: "It's normal for the queen mother to talk to the princess, wait for the palace to return to the father and the emperor and then go to the head office with you, right?" ”

"That's not possible, I haven't heard of which princess the queen mother asked to go to Cishou Palace to speak, and I asked the emperor first, the emperor is the king of a country, but the affairs of the harem are in charge of our queen mother." Mama Gui arched her hand in the direction of Cishou Palace, and the expression on her face was still unmoved, "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't be embarrassed, slaves and maids, they are all their own granddaughters, are you still afraid that the Queen Mother will harm the princess?" ”

This remark is not leaky, Rao is Lou Xuanning is also a little embarrassed, his grandmother wants to see her granddaughter, there is no reason to be blocked by him. looked back at Nuan Jin, saw the horror on her face, and began to feel unbearable again.

When Mama Gui saw it, she sneered again: "Princess Yan will go with the slave maid, now it is you who are called, if you announce Taifu Rong later, you may not know how big a wave it will make." ”

Lou Xuanning was taken aback, how could he be involved with Mrs. Rong again, and in the afterglow, he caught a glimpse of Nuan Jin's face suddenly turned white, and his heart suddenly became cold: "What's the matter?" ”

Although Nuan Jin's face was pale, she calmed down, she stepped forward slowly, and tilted her head slightly: "It's nothing, I'll just go with Mama Gui." After finishing speaking, he softly dropped a sentence: "Let Mrs. Rong go quickly." Then he went out with a few grandmothers.

Lou Xuanning was still inexplicable, this happened suddenly, he was completely clueless, and when he saw that Nuan Jin's personal maid Tao Tao was still in place with a white face, he grabbed her sleeve angrily and asked, "What the hell is going on!" You make it clear to this palace 1510! ”

Tao Tao naturally knew that there were rumors of Nuan Jin and Mrs. Rong recently, but he didn't expect to be known by the Queen Mother so soon.

Lou Xuanning saw that Tao Tao only cared about sifting the chaff there, and he was even more angry, and he was just messing around with Nuan Jin on weekdays, but the hateful thing was that these minions not only did not remind, but followed her to mess around: "Your master is about to be skinned, do you still have time to sift the chaff here?" In a hurry, if something happens to Lou Nuanjin, I will take you to the funeral! ”

Lou Xuanning's earth-shattering roar immediately recalled Tao Tao's soul, her feet were soft, and she couldn't take care of it anymore, she knelt on the ground with a pop, and grabbed the corner of the prince's robe is shocking roar: "His Royal Highness the prince saves the princess!" ”

Princess Yan was called to Cishou Palace for questioning, Gui Mama had just stepped out of the East Palace with her front foot, and her back foot was known to everyone who passed it on, everyone was waiting to see a good show, as long as the fire didn't burn on yourself, it didn't matter what wind you blew today.

Wanyin finally got free at this time, and was rushing to Qiande Palace non-stop, when the queen mother asked the princess to speak, she happened to be waiting by the queen mother's side, and when she saw that Gui Mama had retreated, she was even more anxious.

She actually doesn't have much impression of Princess Yan, but she is just a pampered nobleman, and she is no different from the masters of various palaces. The reason why she was anxious was because she subconsciously thought that Cen Run would be concerned about the affairs of the prince and the princess, after all, it was the love of growing up together, although she has become a master and servant now, in the end, the feelings are there.

She came to ventilate and report the news, she took a great risk, she is the queen mother's person, Cen Run is the emperor's person, I heard in private that he worshipped Mrs. Rong as a teacher, this relationship is really chaotic, she can't sort it out now, that is, she knows that if the queen mother knows that she has passed the news in private, the reward board is light.

But she couldn't help it, she felt that she was Cen Run's eyeliner buried in Cishou Palace, and she had to inform him of any disturbances here, although he had never asked for this, but she still thought so subconsciously.

The Qiande Palace is not very peaceful, the court has just found out that the silver taels for the management of the flood of the sealed river are short of 10 million taels, the emperor was furious in the previous dynasty, ordered a strict investigation of the matter, and caught the mastermind to immediately cut a thousand knives.

There was a lot of noise in the court, and the emperor launched a fire that could not be suppressed, and a handsome face was almost deformed. All those taels of silver were used to help the victims, but before the river was closed, half of the 20 million taels of silver were missing.

Needless to say, the emperor himself knows that the officials below are corrupt, and there are almost no deductions left among the people. These black-hearted officials are still enriching their own pockets, and their insatiable nature does not know how to restrain them at all. If the government oppresses the people and rebels, if it leads the people to revolt, it will be a major event that shakes the foundation of the country.

The more Emperor Lou Hui thought about it, the more angry he became, and he slapped the case and said violently: "Yan He! I order you to find out this wolf-hearted thief within three days! I can't find out that I fucking copied your whole family! ”

The courtiers who were named by the emperor had weak legs and feet, and almost crawled to their knees in the center of the hall: "Weichen obeys the order, Weichen will definitely not dishonor the emperor's order, and the mastermind will be arrested within three days!" ”

The emperor waved his hand, his face was still ugly, Cen Run's head stood aside, saw the emperor's movements, and immediately said loudly, "Retreat from the dynasty." ”

The ministers immediately came out with a sense of relief, eager to escape from the Qiande Palace immediately, for fear that the emperor would regenerate his mind and call his name, and if he really couldn't complete the emperor's explanation, he might be so tired that he would be beheaded.

When it was finally cleared, there were only two people left in the huge palace, the emperor and Cen Run, the emperor did not speak, and Cen Run stood quietly aside.

After a while, the emperor spoke faintly, with infinite exhaustion in his voice: "Cen Run, what do you say is good about being an emperor?" At the beginning, the royal brothers fought for this throne and threw their lives away, what is the picture? If they had known about my current difficulties, I guess no one would have fought for this position in the first place. ”

Cen Run listened on the side, the expression on his face was still flat, he raised his lips and smiled, still in a shallow arc: "The slave is a eunuch and doesn't understand national affairs, but the slave understands that everyone has their own natural mission, and the emperor is precious, and he must shoulder the responsibility of the country." ”

The emperor glanced at him: "Then what is your mission?" ”

"The mission of a slave is to serve a good master."

The emperor was noncommittal, but said nothing, and raised his hand to signal him to step back as well.

Cen Run bowed and retreated, not thinking about the emperor's thoughts, just closed the door of the palace with his backhand, and a figure ran up behind him.

The person who came was Wanyin, her face was crimson, her eyes were anxious, she had been waiting for a long time, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Cen Run raise her hand to stop him, his fingers were slender, his bones were well-proportioned, and he looked like a hand holding a pen all year round, not at all like those rough slaves.

He pointed to the rockery not far away, and motioned for her to go there and talk. Although Wanyin is anxious, she also understands the reason, this is a forbidden place in the palace, and there are countless people watching every word and deed, if you accidentally make a mistake, the head on your neck will never be reliable.

The two of them entered the rockery forest one after the other, and Cen Run confirmed that there was no one around, so he quietly looked at Wanyin: "What's wrong?" ”

His voice is clear, just like his people, forever undisturbed, like a stream left on the Tianshan Mountains, which can miraculously calm the panic in his heart.

Wanyin took a deep breath and raised her eyes, "Something happened to Princess Yan." ”
