Chapter 929: Secret (I)
Seeing that Zhao Xu called a personal attendant to go to the palace to fetch things, Yang Huairen relaxed slightly, and said in his heart that although Zhao Xu has now returned to the imperial power, he is only seventeen years old, and he is still a child.
Although he is a lot more mature now, and his speech and demeanor try to show maturity and stability, every time Yang Huairen looks at his still green face, he remembers that Zhao Xu still has a childlike temperament.
Yang Huairen guessed that it was probably Zhao Xu's New Year's gift something, and now that he was done talking about business, he was going to take out the treasure to show off in front of Yang Huairen.
When the little father-in-law went to fetch things, Zhao Xu suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Do you know why you want to bring two ladies and a pair of children into the palace this time?" β
Yang Huairen said in his heart, didn't you say that you wanted to see what the child looked like, why did you ask me again?
He shook his head and said he didn't know, and the corners of Zhao Xu's mouth rose slightly on half of his face, "Queen Meng is also pregnant." β
Yang Huairen paused for a moment, and then smiled, knowing that this was a gesture for friends to talk about their secrets, so he stood up and said hello, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." β
Zhao Xu waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, "You also know, Empress Meng was chosen by the Empress Dowager at the beginning, and I rejected her very much at the beginning.
After getting married, I found out that she was a person, how to say it, she was not bad, and her personality was quite quiet, which made me not very annoying. β
Yang Huairen said congratulations, but he regretted in his heart, in his memory, Queen Meng was indeed a strange woman, she had experienced three sets and two wastes in her life, and her life had almost experienced the Song Dynasty from strong to weak, from weak to perishing, and then from extinction to rebirth.
was abolished for the first time, it was a palace conspiracy similar to "Tanuki for the Prince", Yang Huairen sighed that since she was pregnant, she would experience the first turning point in her life after more than half a year.
From Zhao Xu's expression in front of him, Yang Huairen read that he was happy because he was about to have his first child, but his attitude towards Queen Meng, although it was not as repulsive and hateful as at the beginning, it was not like it.
Yang Huairen couldn't say anything, because what he knew so far was a secret, and it was a bit too shocking to say such a secret, and it would be hard for others to believe it, and they would only treat him as a monster.
Everyone has their own life, and it can also be said that their personal lives are in their own hands, Yang Huairen's ability can also control their own destiny, as for others, he can only let them resign themselves to fate.
When the little father-in-law brought the things, Yang Huairen only raised his eyes and glanced at the wooden box, and he was suddenly so nervous that his teeth were crisp, because the exquisite wooden box Yang Huairen was too familiar, and it was not filled with anything else, it was the "Nine Heavens Xuantie" that was sealed by the wax of the Empress Dowager Gao.
Zhao Xu had known about the existence of the internal guard for a long time, when Yang Huairen was forced to become a member of the internal guard, he also secretly mentioned it to Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu knew that he was also involuntarily involuntary, so he didn't say anything.
As for the specific things that Empress Dowager Gao asked Yang Huairen to join the internal guard and become a hall master at that time, and let him do it, Yang Huairen did not mention it, Zhao Xu should not be very clear, maybe he just regarded Empress Dowager Gao as just trying to attract talents as usual.
After the death of the Empress Dowager Gao, her things naturally fell into the hands of Zhao Xu, in addition to personal wealth, the secret collection of the Empress Dowager Gao was no exception.
Yang Huairen can only force his composure at present, because he doesn't know how much truth Zhao Xu knows, in case Zhao Xu knows what the purpose of Empress Dowager Gao's search for this Nine Heavens Xuantie is, and what Yang Huairen has done in the process, I don't know what Zhao Xu will think.
Will I be killed? Yang Huairen's mind was a little confused, after all, Empress Dowager Gao had collected these Nine Heavens Xuantie in order to be another female emperor in the first place.
But Yang Huairen thought about it carefully, and felt that the things he did before as an internal guard should be able to explain to Zhao Xu, and when the Empress Dowager Gao launched the palace change, Yang Huairen's approach at that time was always on Zhao Xu's side, and played a key role.
If it weren't for him and Yang Shihu guarding the city gate that day to prevent the forbidden army close to Empress Dowager Gao from entering the city, maybe it would be a completely different situation now.
Therefore, Yang Huairen was sure that even if Zhao Xu knew what he had done, he could understand his hardships.
Zhao Xu took out a coin from the wooden box, stretched out his hand and handed it to Yang Huairen, motioning for him to see if he recognized what it was.
Yang Huairen couldn't figure out for a while whether Zhao Xu really didn't understand what this was and what it was used for, or if he knew everything and was doing it now, he was just testing Yang Huairen.
At that moment, Yang Huairen felt that time seemed to have stopped, and the air seemed to have frozen, and there was only one thought in his heart, Lao Tzu died and became a cook again after eighteen years, but what about my wife and children?
Now they are in the palace, if they are implicated in this incident and die here, the pain is worse than killing Yang Huairen, the child is still so young, and he has not seen what the world is like yet, how to let them leave?
What he thought of Zhao Xu not long ago, Yang Huairen suddenly put a huge question mark on his head. Is he really still the naΓ―ve and straightforward Zhao Xu?
Yang Huairen is not a fool, he naturally knows that a child born in the emperor's family, no matter how dull he is, must have the scheming that he should have.
Growing up in such an environment of constant intrigue and strife in the palace, no matter how simple and innocent a person is, it is inevitable that he will have a few more eyes, not that he deliberately smears the innocent heart, but in this kind of environment where either you die or I die, in order to survive, you must be ruthless and do everything.
Covering up one's heart and showing the harmlessness of humans and animals is almost the most basic life skill necessary for the princes and concubines in the palace.
Although Zhao Xu was still a child when he became the emperor, he was able to endure in the shadow of the Empress Dowager Gao for so many years, and in this case, he could still accumulate his own strength, attract all the energy that could be pulled, and one day regain the imperial power in his own hands, how strong his heart is, it can be imagined.
There is no one in the world who is really stupid, and when a person easily treats others as stupid, it is precisely at this moment that he is the most stupid fool.
Yang Huairen could only take the coin from Zhao Xu's hand, and no muscle in both hands and arms had to endure this twitching nervously, it sounded easy, but it was difficult to put himself in his shoes......
