155 Kill the Emperor!
Jiang Rongyue listened to the queen mention the marriage, her expression was a little dazed, and after a while, she said in a low voice, "Auntie, Rongrong is still young, and I want to accompany my aunt for a few more years." β
"It's not small," the queen raised her hand, picked Jiang Rongyue's chin, and said with a smile, "The emperor means that he wants to promise you to the king of Siam as the queen, and the Siamese royal family will come to greet you after the first month." β
As soon as she said this, not only Jiang Rongyue's face changed, but the elderly ladies in the hall all showed sympathetic eyes. Others don't know, but they know that the current kings of Siam are already in their sixties, and they can be Jiang Rongyue's grandfather at this age, and they are talking about going to Siam to be the queen, but who doesn't know that the women in the Siamese palace are not divided into ranks, and all women can be called queens.
"What, aren't you upset about dissolving?" Seeing Jiang Rongyue's pale face, the queen put down the hand rubbing her chin and asked.
Jiang Rongyue took a few deep breaths, gritted her teeth and said, "Back to my aunt's words, I'm happy." To be a queen, Rong Rong is so happy. β
"That's good," the queen was very satisfied with her acquaintance, patted her hand, looked at Lu Nianjin again, and asked about Ji'er's current situation.
Lu Nianjin said 1510, and the queen smiled slightly, "You have always been sensible, and you have taken good care of the crown prince and the imperial grandson." β
As he was talking, a eunuch walked in outside, stepped forward and kowtowed, "Queen Qiyu, the Taiji Hall is ready, you and the crown princess should take the women over." β
"This palace knows," the queen bowed her head gently, and looked at Lu Nianjin, "Jin'er, let's go!" β
Lu Nianjin agreed, stood up with Yun Jiang's hand, followed the queen, and walked out.
Jiang Rongyue walked on the other side of the queen, side by side with her.
Lu Nianjin Yuguang saw that her lips were bleak, and the whole person was in a trance, so he couldn't help but glance at her, pursed his thin lips slightly, and said kindly, "Wait for the next sacrifice to the temple, it's a big deal, you'd better not go wrong, otherwise it will harm the whole family." β
Jiang Rongyue didn't expect Lu Nianjin to mention her, so she suddenly raised her head and looked at her in dismay.
Lu Nianjin nodded at her and silently withdrew his gaze.
It is indeed a troublesome thing to worship the temple, Lu Nianjin, as the crown princess, stood behind the queen, and was an example for the wives, she followed the queen, got up and knelt down, repeated it more than 20 times, and knelt for more than an hour before it could be held to the end.
At that time, the queen's face was also very bad, especially after Concubine Chen fainted in the back.
"That's the end of today's festival!" The emperor watched Concubine Chen being hugged down, and said with a pale face.
As soon as his words fell, the hundred officials and the women retreated in a solemn manner.
"The queen mother, the daughter-in-law is a little unwell and wants to rest." Lu Nianjin walked slowly towards the queen, blessed, and said.
When the queen heard this, she glanced at her and said, "It's not easy for you to be pregnant, since you are uncomfortable, let Yun Jiang help you back to Kunning Palace to rest." β
"Thank you, the queen mother, the daughter-in-law will step back first," she said, holding Yun Jiang's hand and stepping back.
Out of the Tai Chi Hall, she was directly shot by the warm sun, her whole person warmed up, and she was about to turn her head sideways to talk to Yun Jiang, when at this time, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps behind her, as if chasing her.
Lu Nianjin stopped and looked back, only to see that the person chasing her was Jiang Rongyue.
"Are you looking for me?" She looked at her and asked with a frown.
Jiang Rongyue stepped forward and saluted, raised her head, and said as she walked forward with her, "Fang Cai, thank you for mentioning me, princess, otherwise I am afraid that I will make a big mistake and affect the whole family." β
"It's just a matter of one sentence, I don't deserve your thanks." Lu Nianjin lightly refused and always remained alienated.
Seeing her like this, the bitterness on Jiang Rongyue's face became even heavier, "In the past, I was spoiled by others and did a lot of things that I couldn't do to the crown princess, but now, I want to apologize to the crown princess, I'm sorry." β
"......" Lu Nianjin didn't expect her to apologize, and couldn't help but look at her more, "You don't have to be like this, in fact, as long as you have a heart, you can live well anywhere." β
Jiang Rongyue couldn't help but laugh when she heard her say this, "Then do you know how old the King of Siam is?" He is over sixty years old, and he can be my grandfather, marrying such a person, does the princess really think I still have hope in the future? β
This one...... Lu Nianjin really didn't know.
She pursed her lips in embarrassment and wondered, "Doesn't the queen mother love you very much?" How could she agree to the emperor marrying you to Siam. β
"Because this is what the emperor meant," Jiang Rongyue pulled her lips and said, she told the emperor that she had accused Princess Huyang of stealing her medicine, but was threatened by the emperor in the end, and at the end, she sighed softly, "At that time, I was so innocent and blue, I held the handle of Princess Huyang in my hand, how could the emperor let me go?" β
Lu Nianjin: "......" question, she can't answer it, no matter what the emperor does to others, but he has always been a loving father to her and Xiao Xun.
"Crown Princess, Kunning Palace has arrived," Yun Jiang also saw that Lu Nianjin was uncomfortable, and she took the initiative to relieve the siege.
Lu Nianjin smiled, "The Taiji Hall is cold, remember to drink some ginger soup and rest after the county lord returns to the room." β
Jiang Rongyue bowed her head, "Thank you for remembering the princess." β
The two entered the Kunning Palace and walked to both sides.
Lu Nianjin entered the wing room of the side hall, still looking preoccupied, Yun Jiang served her wide clothes, and said, "According to the slave maid, the lord of Shengping is pretending to be pitiful to the princess, and the princess must not fall into her way." Think about the things she did to you before, you don't need to help her at all. β
Lu Nianjin closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "But a young woman marries into a wild place, and her husband is such a dying old man, after all, it is a little pitiful." β
"That can't be a hand," Yun Jiang said sharply, "The old people have said, repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue, you must repay grievances directly." β
"I know," Lu Nianjin nodded, "Just listen to you, I don't care, I don't care about anything, that's okay, right?" β
"That's how it should be!" Yun Jiang said firmly. She was originally a martial arts practitioner, and she has always been quick to take revenge and go straight to the point.
Lu Nianjin went to bed, took a nap, and then got up again, and it was time for the feast.
Xiao Xun greeted the queen, picked her up, held her hand, and said softly, "Have you felt uncomfortable kneeling in the Taiji Hall for so long today?" β
Lu Nianjin shook his head, "It's not uncomfortable, Xiao'er is very sensible and didn't toss me." After a pause, she climbed his chest again and asked, "What about you, are you unwell?" β
"No," Xiao Xun said lightly, "The Putian where I am kneeling was prepared by Gonggong Fu, and it was made of fine silk cotton, and it was filled with a stove." β
"That's good," Lu Nianjin nodded, "We have to thank Gonggong Fu another day, he has always taken care of the National Teacher's Mansion." β
Xiao Xun scratched her nose and didn't answer the question, but changed the subject and said, "By the way, Xiao Shi found it." β
"Found it?" Lu Nianjin raised his eyebrows, "When did you find it, and where did you find it?" β
"It was Zhang Jiugang who came back with the news, saying that he found it in a small town in Dingzhou, and he had already rushed back with someone. If you hurry up, it will only take a few days. β
Lu Nianjin nodded, "I've worked hard for him." β
While the two were talking, a little palace maid walked in from outside and said, "Prince, princess, the feast is about to begin, and the queen invites the two of you to come over." β
"Got it, let's go over," Xiao Xun said, personally helped Lu Nianjin put on Da Mao's bikin, and walked out with her.
In the main hall, the queen had also cleaned up, with Jiang Rongyue, who looked more and more withered.
"You two are here?" Seeing Lu Nianjin and Xiao Xun coming, she asked with a faint smile.
Xiao Xun took Lu Nianjin forward and saluted, "Queen Mother, let's go." With that, the group walked out.
The banquet was held in the open air, and as soon as he was seated, Xiao Xun stuffed a hand stove for Lu Nianjin, "Hold it, don't suffer the cold." β
Lu Nianjin thanked him in a low voice.
The next moment, his right hand was grabbed into his hand......
The feast lasted for more than an hour, and it was not until the end that Xiao Xun let go of her hand.
After saying goodbye to the emperor, the two walked towards the outside of the palace together.
After getting into the carriage of the National Teacher's Mansion, he couldn't help it anymore, and took her into his arms lovingly, "Are you sleepy, do you want to sleep for a while?" β
Lu Nianjin shook her head, "I'm not sleepy," she said, and she asked about the Xiao family again, "Did Lord Zhang say that the Xiao family destroyed the Lu family?" β
Xiao Xun shook his head, "He sent a letter back as soon as he found Xiao, and he didn't have time to inquire before he thought about it." β
"Oh," Lu Nianjin replied sullenly, and after a while, he said, "Actually, the last blessing in the Lu family is my third sister." β
Xiao Xun held her hand, displeased, "What about you, don't you have a blessing?" β
Lu Nianjin looked at his eyes and smiled sweetly, and said, "I am naturally blessed, but I have never regarded myself as a member of the Lu family." β
"You!" Xiao Xun raised his hand, tapped lightly on her forehead, paused for a moment, and said, "A woman who is a concubine will always weigh the pros and cons more," this is the sentence that Lu Nianjin praised Lu Nianyun for being blessed.
Lu Nianjin thought about it, it's true!
Lu Jiayi and Lu Nianshi are both born in the same generation, they have been calling for wind and rain since they were children, and some people are used to it, so they dare to covet anything they see, regardless of whether they have the ability or not. But Lu Nianyun, because of her concubine, was cautious when she was a child, and she had no sense of existence, so she never dared to covet things that did not belong to her, and only when her life was threatened, she dared to take all the courage to gamble.
Silence spread between the two.
After a long time, Xiao Xun looked at Lu Nianjin and suddenly asked, "Jin'er, do you still have the butterfly incense you gave me last time?" β
"What do you want this for?" Lu Nianjin looked suspicious.
Xiao asked, "Give Jiang Rongyue." β
"Jiang Rongyue?" Lu Nianjin raised his eyebrows, "What to do for her?" Do you want to help her and not let her go to Siam? β
Xiao Xun shook his head, "No, it's just a chance for her." β
"What do you mean by that?"
"The Siamese royal family has always had its own religious beliefs, and every few decades they use butterflies to elect a new generation of saints, who are extremely detached in the entire royal family, respected by all royal families, and can never be married."
"So that's the case," Lu Nianjin's eyes flashed with a streamer, and he said, "It's good, I'll give it to you when I go back." β
"Hmm," Xiao Xun nodded.
He helped Jiang Rongyue, not because he was the queen's niece or cousin, but because she was a citizen of the Yun Dynasty, and he was the prince of the Yun Dynasty, from his point of view, he did not want to sacrifice a woman to establish diplomatic relations. Or, even if he had to die, he hoped that the life of that person would not be so miserable.
Here, Lu Nianjin and Xiao Xun returned to the National Teacher's Mansion, and on the other side, Fu Gongcheng was telling the emperor about Concubine Chen.
"What do you say? Concubine Chen is pregnant? When the emperor heard the news, he stood up in shock.
Gonggong Fu bowed slightly, "That's what the doctor in Niangniang's palace said, but because of the New Year's Festival, it is not convenient to invite the imperial doctor, so if you want accurate results, I am afraid that the emperor will approve and let Doctor Liang go to Yikun Palace." β
"I know, immediately Xuanliang Doctor is going to Yikun Palace," the emperor said, pulling his legs and walking out. Originally, he was still extremely angry because of Concubine Chen's ignorance, but now when he heard the news that Concubine Chen might be pregnant, the anger in her heart instantly disappeared, and she just wanted to take her into her arms and love her well.
In Yikun Palace, Concubine Chen had red circles under her eyes, and cautiously, softly and weakly asked the emperor for peace, but before she could bend her waist, she was helped up by the emperor and said, "Concubine Ai doesn't need to be polite." β
As he was talking, Doctor Liang was walking in from outside, and the emperor was busy looking at Doctor Liang and said, "Come and take a look for Concubine Chen." β
"Yes, Your Majesty," Doctor Liang agreed, hurriedly stepped forward, knelt in front of Concubine Chen, and said, "Please stretch out your hand." β
Concubine Chen slowly lifted her sleeves and stretched out her hand towards Liang Yizheng.
Doctor Liang is old, and there is no need to shy away from it, he took out the pulse pillow, directly put it on Concubine Chen's wrist, squinted his eyes, and felt it carefully for a while, then opened his hand and put away the pulse pillow.
"How?" The emperor couldn't wait to ask.
Doctor Liang was putting the pulse pillow down, looked at the emperor with a smile, and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Concubine Chen is already a month pregnant." β
"Really?" The emperor was so happy that he couldn't wait to go to heaven.
Liang Yizheng also smiled and bent his eyes, and said, "Naturally, it's true, Lao Chen dares to guarantee with his life." β
"Okay, good, there is a reward, everyone has a reward," the emperor said, holding the concubine next to him tighter, "especially the concubine, you are a meritorious minister, and you are my lucky star." β
After all, Concubine Chen was still young, and she shrank in the arms of the emperor, and she didn't dare to come forward at all.
The emperor looked at her so shy, and his heart became more and more happy, and on the same day, the reward was sent to Yikun Palace like flowing water.
When the queen learned the news, she just laughed coldly.
She finally waited for today.
That's right, all along, she was waiting for someone who could replace Cai Wei, waiting for that person to get pregnant, and then asking her to kill the emperor, and she killed that woman.
Only in this way can the hatred in her heart be transcended, and her whole person can be completely liberated.
At night, a thin figure entered the Yikun Palace and approached Concubine Chen's bed without a sound.
Concubine Chen was awakened, she recognized the figure beside the bed, and immediately panicked, covering her lower abdomen, and said defensively, "You, why did you enter the palace?" What do you want to do? β
The emaciated figure said, "Help me do one last thing, I will let go of your family, your lover, and the child in your womb, otherwise, all the people you love, including yourself, don't want to live!" β
"Y-What do you want me to do?" Concubine Chen asked calmly.
The emaciated figure took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms, threw it to her, and said, "Apply this medicine to your body and lead the emperor to take it." β
"That'...... What kind of medicine is this? Concubine Chen asked tremblingly.
The emaciated figure was annoyed, "Let you do things, you will do things, ask so much to do!" β
Concubine Chen lowered her head and shrunk and said, "I, I know everything, you let go of my parents and Dong Lang, I will do as you ask." β
"Hmm." The emaciated figure agreed and was about to leave, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the Yikun Palace, and then, the entire dormitory lit up, and the emperor entered from the outside, looked coldly at the masked woman who was about to leave, and asked, "Who are you?" How dare you stab you! β
"......" The thin woman's eyes flickered, and her face under the scarf turned pale in an instant, she looked at the emperor in a daze, she never thought that Concubine Chen would set up such a plan.
She wanted to turn around and question Concubine Chen, but it was too late, the big inner guards beside the emperor had already attacked her, and she could only block sideways and flee as fast as she could.
Naturally, the Ouchi guards would not let her escape, and chased her out directly and fought with her.
In the blink of an eye, there were dozens of moves, and seeing that the woman was about to fall behind, at this time, a few black-clothed people jumped out of the shadows to help the woman block the Ouchi guards.
The woman saw the interval, and directly carried the light gong to flee in the direction of the cold palace, and the man in black watched the woman flee away, and the move suddenly became fierce, forcing the Ouchi guards to retreat, and also chased after them.
Ouchi's guards fell behind the man in black and chased after him, but after a distance, he still didn't keep up, and lost the trace of the woman and the man in black in the cold palace.
In Yikun Palace, the emperor learned that the Ouchi guards had missed, and his face was so gloomy that he could almost overflow water.
"Rice buckets, all rice buckets!" He pointed to the Ouchi guard led by him and scolded sharply.
The guards didn't even dare to raise their heads, let alone explain, the black-clothed men didn't reveal their true details from beginning to end, and they always teased them with ease.
"All go down and get punished!" After a long time, the emperor scolded again, and then instructed Gonggong Fu, "Let the shadow guard check the whereabouts of those black-clothed people, and in addition, you personally take someone to check, which palace maid in the palace will no longer be on duty tonight." β
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The people were ordered to retreat.
The emperor flicked his sleeves and walked towards the dormitory, he sat down on the bed, gently held the hand of the frightened Concubine Chen, and said, "Don't worry, with me, your fiancΓ© and father will be fine, and I will definitely protect them." β
"The concubine believes in the emperor," Concubine Chen said with tears in her eyes, and slowly leaned into the emperor's arms.
She has never been a stupid person, and from the very beginning, she knew that those who hide their heads and tails and don't even dare to show their faces are simply unreliable. Therefore, after learning that she was pregnant, she planned to confess to the emperor.
After all, confessing to the emperor is clear that the road to life and death is clear, at least you don't have to worry about the precariousness of yourself and your family.
Facts have proved that she is indeed betting on the right game, the emperor is credible, and the person who sent her to the palace is not credible at all.
Here, Concubine Chen got the emperor's promise, and her heart finally settled, and on the other side, after the thin woman escaped from the palace, she was finally knocked out and taken away by several black-clothed people who came later.
The dungeon of the National Teacher's Mansion.
Xiao Xun looked at the weakened woman who was tied to the torture rack and said, "Take off the face towel from her face." β
"Yes, Prince!" Qingji agreed, and ripped off the face towel from the woman's face.
The face under the face towel was really familiar to Xiao Xun, it was the palace maid Peony of Kunning Palace.
"Wake her up," Xiao Xun commanded again with a calm face.
Qing Er received the order, squatted down and gently touched Peony, and Peony woke up with trembling eyelids.
"Prince," she said, adjusting to the light in front of her, and looked at it for a long time before calling out tentatively.
Xiao Xun looked at her and replied in a deep voice, "I didn't expect it to be this palace?" Bengong didn't expect that the peony girl would appear in Concubine Chen's bedroom. β
"The prince has been sending people to keep an eye on the slaves?" Peony can be cited by the queen as a real confidant, naturally she is extremely smart, she quickly figured out the joint points before and after, looked at Xiao and asked, "Or is the prince making people stare at the queen's mother?" β
"It's not important," Xiao Xun looked at the handrail lightly and said coldly, "The important thing is, what are you doing in Yikun Palace?" β
"......" Peony's eyes flickered, and she didn't speak, she was considering.
Xiao Xun sneered, "Don't say it? Do you want this palace to send you to your father's hands? Or will you be more acquainted in front of your father? β
"Don't, don't the prince!" As soon as she heard that Xiao Xun was going to give her to the emperor, Peony immediately opened her mouth in horror, "I just want to say something, the slave maid just said it, and the slave and maid believe that the prince will not harm the queen." β
Xiao Xun looked at her in silence and waited for her to speak.
Peony took a deep breath and hesitated for a while before saying, "The slave maid went to Yikun Palace tonight to deliver poison to Concubine Chen...... The prince should have found out that Concubine Chen was arranged by the queen mother to enter the palace...... The purpose of Niangniang's arrangement for her to enter the palace is to let her completely replace Cai Wei, that is, the emperor's favorite woman in his heart, the eternal white moonlight and cinnabar mole in his heart. β
"What about after the replacement?"
"After being replaced, let 'Caiwei' kill the emperor, and let the emperor taste the betrayal of his beloved."
"After her father died, she killed 'Cai Wei' again?" Xiao asked, his tone was complicated, desolate, sad, and hateful.
Peony let out a "hmm", which was considered an acknowledgement.
"Send her back," after learning all of the queen's plans, Xiao Xun swept towards Qing Er with cold eyes and ordered.
Qinger agreed, swung his knife and slashed, and the rope that helped Peony's hands and feet fell to the ground.
