Chapter 32: The Assassination of Your Monarch
People say that when they are unlucky, they even stuff their teeth with cold water, and this sentence is really well understood by the secretary of the dormitory.
Originally, he felt that it was already miserable to be punished for half a year, and it was not that he did not do his best, it was really His Majesty's harem that had been abandoned for too long, and there was no one who could use it!
Who would have thought that a few days later, the Empress Dowager also knew about it, called him over and reprimanded him fiercely, saying that he was a waste, that he had insulted the face of the monarch, that he deserved to be punished for his crimes, and that he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants on the spot.
Xu was so unproductive that made the Empress Dowager upset, and the result was that he picked up a small life, but was demoted to this miscellaneous office. Living in this place is the worst, eating the worst, taking the least, and being called and drunk every day, which is a world of difference from the past days, and it is difficult to calm in the end!
But those who are unsatisfactory always like to use wine to kill their sorrows, and this little handyman surnamed Wang is no exception, but the wine is not very good, and he likes to talk nonsense when he drinks too much.
"I think back then, the Empress Dowager was in charge of the errand of the three palaces and six courtyards, I followed the master to manage the errand of this dormitory, that is how beautiful it is, who sees us must not stammer, at that time, in this palace, the most important thing is the errand of this dormitory!"
"I really didn't expect that in thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, I inherited the mantle of my master, but I couldn't inherit his career!"
"Her Majesty the Empress is now dedicated to pampering the queen, and the spoils are all gone, to put it disrespectfully, the queen occupies His Majesty, who dares to sleep?!"
"The empress has countless male attendants, the rain and dew are all wet, and the heirs are still so difficult, isn't it even more difficult for the empress to hang herself on a man in the queen!"
"I dare to assert that no one will be able to take this errand in the future!"
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart, and when this word is transmitted from the palace to the people, and then from the people to the palace, it has already become that His Majesty and the queen cannot have children.
There is evidence for such rumors to spread more and more, after all, the two have been married for more than a year, and they are like glue paint together every day, and it is long overdue. So far, there has been no news, so someone must have a problem, and they naturally don't think that Her Majesty the Empress has a problem, and the only problem can only be the queen.
A deep pool, it was not prosperous, if no one deliberately provoked, how could such a big storm start! After all, it is a matter of royal secrets, and it is also related to the face of the king of a country, and ordinary people dare not spread it wantonly, unless someone is behind it, the purpose is already very obvious.
Ying Qi was also worried at this time, aside from anything else, the issue of heirs is related to whether his three-year plan can be carried out smoothly. A few months ago, when he was in Nangan, he also consulted the old man in the Tai Hospital, and the old man told him very tactfully that everything was fine, but his luck was not good.
He will be suspicious, and he will not stop plowing, he will not believe, he is unlucky every day! Months passed, and there was still no news.
There is one thing in this, he has never been able to understand, why Zhan Nian is so confident, he doesn't do anything, just looks on coldly, he is not waiting, he is so confident that he can wait?
He thought about whether someone would do it, but he was very confident, as the queen, in charge of the entire harem, if someone could do a private thing under his nose, it would really have the ability to reach the sky! What's more, the old lady doctor has already said that they are in good health and everything is fine, which is really strange!
However, this matter is not the most important thing at the moment, Ying Qi knows very well in his heart that the wind and waves are calm, and without the people who help him, he will have a lot of time to slowly solve this problem.
Two days later, he and Jinyan will leave the palace to pray for blessings at Huang'en Temple, which is a good time when the palace guards are empty.

The small study room of the Purple Pole Palace
————————————
Jinyan, who got off the court, did not go back immediately, but sat here to calm his angry state of mind.
Such a thing as an heir is a matter for the husband and wife, but she is the king of a country, and that is the business of the whole country!
When the rumors first started, Jin Yan heard that such remarks were always unfavorable to the queen, and she quietly suppressed the matter without Ying Qi, but unexpectedly someone asked her directly in the court today, "Does the queen have the ability to have children?!" ”
asked so directly, so without scruples, so faceless, she was furious at the time, "How about the queen, you can also speculate!" And one more disrespectful word, I will punish you for your sin! ”
For a while, the court was silent, but all kinds of doubtful, contemplative, unconvinced, and anxious eyes told her that many people wanted to know this question.
In the end, it was Qingguo Gong who came forward to ease the confrontation between the monarch and the minister.
"The rumors stop at the wise, you are all the humerus of the country, how can you hurt the sum of the monarch and the minister for these things of unknown origin, the Empress Dowager only had His Majesty when she was about forty years old, and now Your Majesty and the queen have only been married for more than a year, and it is normal that there is no news."
At the critical moment, Qingguo Gong always came forward to break the siege, is it really as the mother emperor said? After getting off the court, Jin Yan summoned Qing Guogong alone in the small study, at this time she looked at the middle-aged man with silver hair in front of her, and asked a question, "Guogong can speak for the queen, why never speak for your monarch?" ”
Qingguo Gong bowed, "The old minister only has loyalty and patriotism in his heart, followed by his wife and children." ”
"Your Majesty loves the queen, is the queen's virtuous virtue, where do others know that the relationship between Your Majesty and the queen is deep and righteous, but it is just a cloud of people, and the old minister also wishes His Majesty and the queen a long time, harmony and happiness, this is the blessing of Beiluo."
"As for my indisputable son, if he is liked by His Majesty, it is his blessing, and if not, it is also his life, let him fend for himself."
"As long as he lives in peace, that's enough......"
The words were sincere, and Jin Yan sighed, "Qingguo Gong understands righteousness and loyalty, but it makes me a little ashamed, Lao Guogong can rest assured, I will not treat your monarch badly, I will promise him wealth and glory, and I will be stable for a lifetime." ”
It's just that Jin Yan said this for only two days, and something happened to Guijun's side.
Jin Yan, who learned the news, returned to the palace non-stop, although the assassins had all been ambushed, and Guijun Zhannian was only slightly injured, Jin Yan was still shocked and angry in his heart, and was surprised that the Empress Dowager of Northern Qin had reached out to her harem so quickly, and she was angry that so many people had injured Guijun in a waste of waste!
She promised Zhan Nian that she would protect him, and she reassured Qingguo Gong that she would not treat your monarch badly, but as a result, something like this happened, this is not a problem of face, but a matter of credit and ability!
In fact, Zhan Nian was also terrified in retrospect, those assassins were ghostly, their shots were crisp and neat, and in the face of guards several times their size, they still did not change their faces, and they were bent on taking their own lives.
Sure enough, if the queen doesn't make a move, she will definitely finish him as soon as she makes a move!
It's just that neither he nor the queen thought that Jin Yan would install a hidden guard by his side, and if it weren't for this, he would have died in Huangquan a long time ago, and now he only suffered some skin injuries, which is a great luck!

Jinnian Palace
————————————
At this time, Zhan Nian was half-leaning on the bed, letting the imperial doctor treat his wounds. Although the knife only cut through the arm, the appearance of the red flesh and blood flying was still shocking to watch.
She grew up surrounded by everyone since she was a child, and the biggest injury she suffered was that she ran too fast and broke the skin on her knee, but then she felt very painful, and she cried so much that it was earth-shattering.
And Zhan Nian, such a long, deep wound, and so much blood, doesn't he hurt? He didn't even frown, and when he saw her coming, he smiled very happily.
After the doctor left, she gently touched the wound that had been bandaged and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”
Zhan Nian smiled even brighter, "Your Majesty, this is a joke, this little flesh injury, where is it worth mentioning." ”
Jin Yan pouted, this person really can't chat, and she seems to have no knowledge.
Zhan Nian was a little puzzled when he saw it, how brave and empathetic he was, why did he still pout? In fact, it's not to blame Zhan Nian's stupidity, he just hasn't seen much of the strange brain circuits that Jin Yan has about to attack from time to time.
After thinking about it, he felt that he should change his words, "Actually, it still hurts, I'm just embarrassed to say it." ”
Now it's Jinyan's turn to be at a loss, it hurts, so what should I do? She really has little experience in comforting others, how did the old mother coax her when she was injured when she was a child? It seems to be saying something "Pain Flying?" ”
She recalled the old woman's appearance and blew on the wound a few times, then looked up and asked, "What about this?" Wouldn't it be better? ”
A stiff voice replied to her, "Okay, much better." ”
Jin Yan was also relieved when she heard this, after all, it was she who did not protect her, and she was responsible for Zhan Nian's injury. Now that a blow can relieve the pain, she has done her best.
Zhan Nian couldn't help but ridicule: "Hey... I regret it now, and I should have let the assassins stab me a few more times, so that you wouldn't feel too guilty and stay with me. ”
Jin Yan smiled awkwardly and said, "That's not good, the queen is timid, I still have to go back." ”
Zhan Nian didn't know how Ying Qi left such a deep understanding on Jinyan, and at this moment he was envious and envious of the timid person.
"If I had little guts, would you stay?" Zhan Nian's eyes burned.
"Are you timid?" Jin Yan asked rhetorically.
Zhan Nianwu laughed to himself, "How is it possible, I'm not afraid of anything!" ”
Jin Yan also laughed, "That's nature, how can my hero of Beiluo be cowardly!" Okay, I've got to go back, you're recuperating, I'll see you another day! ”
"Also, I will find out what happened, avenge you, and give you justice! Do you still believe me? ”
Zhan Nian's eyes flickered, but he still nodded, "I believe it!" ”
Just as Jin Yan turned around, Zhan Nian took her hand and didn't say anything, just looked at her.
Jin Yan also shook his hand comfortingly, signaling him to rest assured, or turned to leave.
Looking at the departing back, Zhan Nian suddenly felt that he had become so vulnerable, obviously he was such a strong person, he had never been afraid of the Shura battlefield, but at this moment, he was shattered by a blow from a departing back.
