Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Next Goal
Now Wang Xuefu can be said to be more and more able to let go of these things in the court, and her next plan is the emperor, yes, in order to let Yun Qinghan grasp power and ascend to the throne of the crown prince, she can do anything.
After He Heyu's funeral, the emperor's physical condition was obviously not good, and Li Hao helped the emperor to go back to rest.
Yun Ziwu was secretly monitoring the queen's mansion, but he never saw a suspicious figure, "Could it be that our guess is wrong?" It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, so the most likely thing is that Queen Wang Xuefu has already acted in advance, and she has already done it before us. Yun Ziwu thought about it, and at present, only this possibility is the greatest.
"You guys keep an eye on it, and tell me as soon as you find it." Yun Ziwu went back and prepared to report the situation here to Ruan Xiaoyan, and the two of them discussed what to do next.
Yun Qinghan stayed in Wang Xuefu's house, and Ruan Xiaoyan didn't feel so uncomfortable after a while, so he went to find Yun Qinghan.
"Han, it's time for us to go home, we have to find a way to solve it, and it's not a way for you to go on like this." Ruan Xiaoyan said softly, and then hugged Yun Qinghan, who was trembling with cold all over his body.
Ruan Xiaoyan took off his coat and draped it over Yun Qinghan's body, "I've already called the carriage, let's go." ”
At this time, Yun Ziwu saw that Yun Qinghan and Ruan Xiaoyan were both in the house, and hurriedly ran forward, "I have already sent someone to keep an eye on the queen." ”
"Did you spot any anomalies, or any new discoveries?" Ruan Xiaoyan asked.
"No, there are still no clues." Yun Ziwu saw that Yun Qinghan's state was not very good, so he didn't say anything, which made him feel even more uncomfortable in his heart.
"Then wait a little longer, remember not to be discovered by the queen, we must investigate this matter behind our backs, and catch her off guard when the time comes." Ruan Xiaoyan has seen many court dramas before, although she has not experienced it personally, she still has unique ideas similar to this.
"Okay, I know, then you can accompany Yun Qinghan well, and I'll continue to be busy." Yun Ziwu patted Yun Qinghan's shoulder and told him to be strong.
"Uh-huh, go ahead, don't worry, there's still me here." Ruan Xiaoyan will always accompany Yun Qinghan by his side, no matter what happens to Yun Qinghan.
The sun shone on the snow, melting the snow with the warmth of the light, and the day seemed like a dream, everything in the dream was so real, and the painful feeling was how much I wished none of this was real.
Ruan Xiaoyan and Yun Qinghan sat on the carriage, the carriage ran over the thick layer of snow and made a "creaking" sound, and the snow piled up on the branches had begun to slowly melt.
Ruan Xiaoyan and Yun Qinghan remained silent, no one spoke, this kind of silence is also very good, you can calm down and think about it well, and you don't need to let your heart be too irritable.
Uncle Liu swept the snow in the mansion into small snowdrifts one by one, and also swept out a road, and the mansion also hung up white silk early, which was regarded as a farewell to He Heyu's spirit in the sky.
The joys and sorrows of the world are so haggard, and they are also vulnerable in the face of these things.
With the advent of winter, the sky has darkened early, and the color of the sky has changed to dark blue.
Finally arrived at the mansion, Ruan Xiaoyan helped Yun Qinghan to the house the whole time, Ruan Xiaoyan brought a hot towel to wipe Yun Qinghan's face and hands, and then found him clean clothes to change into.
Yun Qinghan lay on the bed, covered the quilt, and Ruan Xiaoyan came out after extinguishing the light in Yun Qinghan's room.
"Concubine Yan, how is the eldest prince?" Xiaocai asked with concern, he had never seen Yun Qinghan in this situation.
"Lord Wang, it will take a little time to recover slowly, and it will be fine." Ruan Xiaoyan looked at the lights that went out in Yun Qinghan's room, and she was also faintly worried in her heart, but she believed that Yun Qinghan's heart was very strong.
"That's good, Concubine Lao Yan will take care of you during this time, and if you need help with anything, you can call us at any time." Xiaocai said with a worried face.
"Okay, you can go back and rest early." Ruan Xiaoyan watched Xiaocai turn around and go back to the room, and she went back.
But I don't know where Chunrui went, I didn't notice Chunrui because I was too tired today, "Concubine Yan, I'm Chunrui, can I come in?" As soon as Ruan Xiaoyan thought of Chunrui, Chunrui was talking at the door.
"Uh-huh, come in." Chunrui pushed open the door and brought some incense, "Light the incense before you go to bed, it will help you sleep."
"I'm fine, I'll go and light a stick of incense in the eldest prince's room in a while." Ruan Xiaoyan took the incense and put them on the shelf of the dresser.
"Where have you been today, and I haven't seen you?" Ruan Xiaoyan looked at Chunrui.
"After arriving at Concubine He's mansion, I will find a helper for the fourth prince, and then I will help Uncle Liu arrange things."
"Well, I'm quite tired today, so you should go back and rest early." Ruan Xiaoyan said and sat in front of the dresser.
"Okay, then you can go to bed early." Chunrui closed the door in Ruan Xiaoyan's room and went out.
Ruan Xiaoyan opened the drawer of the dresser on the second floor, picked up the gold bracelet He Heyu gave her, put it on her hand, and looked at it carefully.
Then he put the bracelet in the jewelry box and put it up, and walked towards Yun Qinghan's room with a pillar of lighted incense.
Put the incense next to the desk, then put the bracelet on Yun Qinghan's left hand, and then go back to sleep after stuffing the quilt corner of the quilt.
"This bracelet is regarded as the last thought given to you by He Guifei, I hope you can have a happy life in the future." Ruan Xiaoyan looked up at the moon in the sky, but there were no stars around, looking so desolate.
This night, they all fell asleep with sadness in their hearts, and at this time they would inevitably lose a little courage in their hearts, the courage to face the next day's light. But no matter what the current state of emotions is, the next day will come eventually, and the only thing that can be done is to live well.
He Heyu's death is a very good opportunity for Wang Xuefu's side, and the officials in the court will once again lean towards Yun Qinglin's side, and with the marriage between Yun Qinglin and He Ling gradually approaching, Wang Xuefu will also take the opportunity to get the crown prince.
"You say, now that Wang Xuefu has passed away, will you be able to get the crown prince?" Midnight asked.
"I don't know about this, let's look at the situation in the court when the time comes, by the way, what happened to the things I asked you to investigate?" Yun Qinglin and Midnight were discussing in the room.
"I don't know if it's because of Concubine He's death, the current situation in the court is still very chaotic." Midnight learned about it through some officials in the imperial court.
"Why do you say that, what's going on these days?" Yun Qinglin's main interest is that for such a long time, whether the officials in the imperial court support him or support Yun Qinghan.
"Do you know, Ruan Xiao's third daughter, Ruan Xiaoxi, seems to also hold an official position in the imperial court, and the specific position is the county lord of a territory." When Midnight said these words, his tone also emphasized the word "county lord".
"When did this happen, and why haven't we heard anything here?" Yun Qinglin was also stunned after hearing the news, it seems that there are still a lot of mysteries in the court.
"Actually, I also spent money to get this news, it should be a soldier from a territory who fell in love with Ruan Xiaoxi, and then the two got married without holding a wedding. At Ruan Xiaoxi's request, she was given a certain official position. ”
"Does the emperor know about this?"
"The emperor shouldn't know about this matter yet, Ruan Xiaoxi was just competent on the day He Guifei died."
"Then you will quickly investigate and find out who she is the county lord of that territory, and who is marrying her, and how much power she has."
"Okay." Although Midnight's status in the court is not high, Midnight's methods before are also very clever, and the reputation of being assigned to remote areas before has gradually been suppressed.
"Is Han'er there?" Wang Xuefu's voice came from outside the door.
"Uh-huh, come in."
"Midnight is here, too?" Wang Xuefu watched Midnight sit beside Midnight.
"Queen, wait a minute, I still have something to do, so I won't bother you, so I'll go first?"
"Uh-huh, let's get busy." Wang Xuefu said, the complexion on her face still looked good.
"Queen Mother, how did you sleep last night?"
"I slept well, how about you?"
"Me too." Yun Qinglin said with a smile.
Then, He Ling brought a plate of apples, "Queen, let's talk while eating." "He Ling was very timely every time he appeared, and he couldn't miss any opportunity for the queen to talk to Yun Qinglin alone.
"Queen, we all know the news that Concubine He has died, is this time a good time, and then the crown prince must be ours." He Ling said on the side to see how Wang Xuefu would react.
"Uh-huh, but this matter still depends on the reaction of those ministers in the court, if we can get the support of half of their ministers, then we will definitely win." The queen held a string of beads in her hand and turned it back and forth with her hands.
"Queen Mother, I got the news just now in the middle of the night that Ruan Xiaoxi, the third daughter of Ruan Xiaoxi, has now sat in the position of the county lord."
"What? When did this happen? If it is the position of the county lord of the frontier, the threat to us is also very great. The string of beads in Wang Xuefu's hand stopped moving, and her heart was full of thoughts, which was not expected by her at all.
"What happened yesterday, the emperor doesn't know about this matter at present, and he went out at midnight just now to investigate this matter." Things happen one after another, and it's really a headache.
