91 Catch them all

"Xiao Yi's resentment is so deep?"

"He, when he clashes with those nobles, it's always easy to bump into them." Xiao Jia gloated, hiding his revolutionary friendship with Xiao B, "He is just too unlucky, fortunately he met me after his death and followed me to eat and drink." ”

"Where is the food and drink, I followed you, and I almost perished several times, okay, I should have fortunately met Xiaobeizi, and this luck got better all of a sudden."

"Yes, yes, you are the real nobleman." Xiao Yi said sincerely, "By the way, what kind of medicine did you give the emperor to make him like this?" ”

Qiu Xiaobei raised his eyebrows and smiled treacherously: "This, secret." Then he sighed regretfully: "It's a pity, how nice it would be if I could watch the scene, it must be very lively." ”

……

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you, why are you here?" When the father-in-law in charge saw Fan Shenxi, he was a little nervous, he had been with the emperor all the year round, and naturally knew that the emperor was jealous of the prince, and now this situation has happened.

"If such a big thing happens, can Hongu not come?" Fan Shenxi glanced coldly at the father-in-law in charge, and the father-in-law bowed in fear, "What's the situation now, what does the imperial doctor say?" ”

"The imperial doctor is still examining the emperor, and the queen mother is still examining."

"Go in and have a look."

Seeing that the prince was going inside, the father-in-law in charge wanted to stop him, but the prince looked at him coldly: "What's the situation now, what you have to do is to block the news immediately, even if it has been known by many people, you have to suppress the news, if this spreads, do you know how big a thing will happen, how many people are waiting for the father to have an accident?" How many people are just waiting to see our royal jokes? If you don't deal with this, do you still have the heart to stop this palace here? Why, are you still afraid that this palace will hurt your father and grandmother? ”

"Don't dare, minions don't dare."

"Then don't go yet!"

In fact, the father-in-law in charge felt that it would be good to have a high-ranking guard here to prevent those concubines and princes from making trouble for a while, and he could also deal with the things that the prince said, but he couldn't believe the prince.

But there is no other way now, except for the prince, who else can suppress the concubines?

He said yes repeatedly, and before stepping back, he deliberately glanced at Yi Liyun, asking him to be optimistic about this place, and always pay attention to the prince's movements.

However, Yi Liyun has a wide vision and feels that the prince will not be in this situation, and when many people are watching behind their backs, it is not good for the emperor and the queen mother, and it is good to stabilize the situation and face the prince.

Fan Shenxi also looked at Yi Liyun: "Immediately block the Fengning Palace, no one is allowed to enter or leave without the permission of the palace." ”

"Yes!"

For the decisive Yi Liyun, Fan Shenxi regretted again, how could he be his father's person.

He went to see the emperor first, the emperor hadn't woken up yet, the old imperial doctor was diagnosing him, and he was talking to another old lady doctor next to him, and after seeing Fan Shenxi, they knelt down towards him: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

"At this time, don't care about the number of etiquette, tell the palace first, how is the father?"

"Back to the crown prince, the emperor ...... No problem for now. ”

"Okay?" Fan Shen frowned, and his momentum sank, "My father hasn't woken up yet, so it's okay?" Also, there was no reason to ...... before What's going on with the madness? ”

The old lady doctor lay down in fear, the old imperial doctor was more courageous, and he could still speak well: "Back to the prince, the emperor is indeed fine now, but he is too tired, and he needs to sleep for a while, as for why he was ...... before Weichen suspects that the emperor may be a little cold, and people are too tired to be noisy, with all due respect to Weichen's words, the emperor is too depressed on weekdays, and this pressure has become a disease for a long time, and it has been accumulated in the chest. ”

Fan Shen breathed a sigh of relief quietly: "Is it really just like this? No other questions? ”

"The problem is naturally, the emperor will not be in good spirits during this time, and he needs to rest well."

Fan Shenxi nodded and said solemnly: "Be sure to take care of your father." ”

"Obey."

Subsequently, Fan Shenxi went to the Queen Mother's side.

The Queen Mother took off her hairpin and sat on the bed with her hair draped, covered with a quilt in front of her, and the imperial doctor knelt on the ground to teach the palace maid how to give the Queen Mother's face medicine.

This will remove the makeup and the face will swell like that again...... It's kind of scary.

When she saw Fan Shenxi coming in, she hurriedly grabbed the silk scarf on the side and covered her head: "Xi'er, you, why are you here?" ”

Fan Shenxi bowed to her: "Grandson naturally wants to come to see the imperial grandmother, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, what can happen," before the imperial doctor could speak, the Queen Mother hurriedly said, "Just a little injury, just take care of it for two days." ”

The Queen Mother seemed a little nervous, and she stammered a little and asked, "Xi'er, that, everyone knows?" ”

"Yes!"

When the Queen Mother couldn't hide her embarrassment through the veil, Fan Shenxi said slowly: "Sun Er has asked Manager Chen to block the news immediately, even if the news has spread, it must be suppressed, and in addition, the people in the palaces have not been allowed to enter and leave the Fengning Palace in recent days, saying that you have to eat fasting and chant Buddha for a few days, pray for my Dafan Dynasty, and see no one." ”

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really troublesome." ”

"You are the imperial grandmother of your grandson, you may not believe it when you say other imperial grandmothers, but you and I still have my father, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, and my grandson knows how to do it."

"Good boy, ...... Then you go out first, the ...... of the mourning family is going to be drugged.

"Yes, Grandmother Queen's rest."

Fan Shenxi left the room, no one noticed, from beginning to end, there was no expression on his face, and his eyes were cold.

"Your Highness," said the maid of Fengning Palace, "the crown princess lives in the Westinghouse, and the slave maid will take you there." ”

She thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had seen the emperor and the queen mother, and then she should take a look at her crown princess, so she led the way diligently.

Who knew that the prince said lightly: "No need, the palace is tired, rest in the east house first, and then call the palace if you have something." ”

The east and west rooms are the two rooms farthest apart from each other in Fengning Palace.

The prince not only went to see the princess, but he didn't even ask about the situation, and the palace maid couldn't please him, so he didn't dare to ask more, so he lowered his head and took the prince to the east house.

He is not idle, no matter how the news is blocked and suppressed, since it has been spread, something will definitely happen, and he is still one step late, he is already making noise outside Fengning Palace, crying and crying that it depends on the concubines and princes of the emperor and queen mother, and it is not a simple sentence or two to deal with it.

When it was busy until dark, Zhou Guifei was still outside and did not give up, Fan Shenxi chose to ignore it, just let people stop her, don't pay attention to it, but he gave a special opinion to another concubine who has been favored recently, of course, he didn't let the concubine see the emperor or the queen mother, just let her enter the Fengning Palace, stay in an empty house for a while and then let her out.

As for this concubine, it is Zhou Guifei's person, because the prince has recently suppressed the momentum of Zhou Guifei, who has been arrogant for many years, he sent the daughter of the alliance into the palace, and the emperor also intended to lift Zhou Guifei's side, so as to balance with the prince, and spoiled this new woman who entered the palace for a few days.

But this woman, even if it is an alliance, but serving the same man is a rival in love, how could Zhou Guifei be completely unconcerned to help this woman, but she still remembered the family's orders and didn't do anything.

However, now, after everyone was blocked out of Fengning Palace, only this woman entered, I don't know if Zhou Guifei still has such a good temper.

The problem is that this woman can't explain that she entered the Fengning Palace and only sat in the empty room.

When it was dinner time, because the emperor hadn't woken up yet, everyone's dinner was simple, if it weren't for the prince here, it was estimated that everyone wouldn't even be able to eat.

There were only two plates of simple vegetables in front of the prince's table, and at this time, the little eunuch of the East Palace came in and said that he would send something to the prince.

Fan Shenxi asked him to hand over the things, and at first glance, it was a small sealed jar with a note attached to the jar.

[It's more fragrant with rice with this.] 】

He smiled slightly, folded the note carefully, and stuffed it on his chest, then opened the lid of the jar, and a sweet and sour smell wafted out.

It's Xiaobei's own sauce, which can be eaten with rice, very fragrant, when she gave it to him for the first time, she had already learned that no matter how much she liked it, she wouldn't show it, but she was almost greedy to eat it with that sauce, and she didn't eat much.

Of course, only once, but the taste of the sauce he always liked.

After eating dinner contentedly, a little eunuch secretly came to tell him that the emperor was awake and just didn't let anyone be notified.

Fan Shenxi carefully resealed the small jar, let Gonggong Li accept it, took the handkerchief handed to him by Jing Ning and wiped his hands slowly, did not answer the eunuch who reported, but asked casually: "Why is it still so noisy outside?" ”

"Back to the prince, it's Zhou Guifei, I went back before, this will come again, and if she doesn't let her see the emperor, she won't leave."

Fan Shenxi, who ignored Zhou Guifei all day, said this time: "Zhou Guifei is not easy, this palace will go out to meet her and relax her heart." ”

Naturally, his people didn't have any doubts, but the people of Fengning Palace who were waiting outside didn't dare to have doubts, at most they thought in their hearts, the prince was really soft-hearted, and he still couldn't stand Zhou Guifei being so annoying.

It was already dark, but it was very lively outside Fengning Palace.

Because Zhou Guifei is here, many concubines are also here, standing behind Zhou Guifei, accompanied by one or two palace maids, it is cold, they are all wearing cloaks, from the preciousness of the cloak, you can see the difference in their respective status, Zhou Guifei is a beautiful fox fur, all white, without a single flaw.

The fourth prince was also there, accompanying Zhou Guifei, with a worried face.

Zhou Guifei stood with her head held high, making people keep shouting, what they are most afraid of now is that they don't know what the situation is with the emperor and the queen mother, if they are poisoned, or they are seriously ill, it is too dangerous for Fengning Palace to be controlled only by Fan Shenxi, who knows if he will take the opportunity to do anything, and when the time comes, he will control the situation, will there be their share?

Zhou Guifei said that if Fan Shenxi didn't see her again, she would join forces with other princes and princes to discuss this matter.

At this time, Fan Shenxi finally came out.

Zhou Guifei pulled her lips and sneered: "Our Royal Highness the Prince, can you be considered willing to give it up?" ”

"Concubine Niangniang," Fan Shen clasped his hands, "This palace really doesn't understand, what do you want to do with such a large team outside the imperial grandmother's bedroom?" The imperial grandmother has strictly ordered that from today onwards, within half a month, she will not be used to ask for peace. ”

"Heh, look at what the prince said, just because the queen mother doesn't need us to ask for peace for no reason, we are worried about the queen mother's body, and now we just want to see each other and feel at ease, what's the matter with the prince blocking us all here?"

"The Queen Mother decided to retreat and recite the Buddha, pray for our Dafan Dynasty, and avoid making the Buddha feel that she is not sincere, so that she will not see anyone, but you are cursing the Queen Mother's health here, what is your intention?"

"You're talking about it," Zhou Guifei snorted coldly, "What about the emperor, can't the emperor see him?" ”

"Father and Emperor are going to accompany the imperial grandmother for the past two days, and everyone will naturally be able to see each other in two days, so why rush at this time."

"Second Emperor Brother, that's not what you said." The fourth prince supported Zhou Guifei and sighed worriedly, "My father is not your father alone, and my grandmother is not your grandmother alone, even if you let me in, even if I look at it from a distance, let me and my mother have a peace of mind, can't you?" ”

"Yes, yes," without Zhou Guifei's instructions, the concubines behind her began to shout, "Okay, let's take a look, and there will be a festival in the palace in a few days, how did the queen mother not order it, we don't know what to do, how can we suddenly close the door to worship the Buddha?" ”

Everyone else followed Yinghe, some people said that the Queen Mother ordered to do things some time ago, and now that it is done, she has to deal with the Queen Mother, and she is still in a hurry, and the Queen Mother suddenly does not see how to deal with it.

Only the concubine who had been pardoned into Fengning Palace by Fan Shenxi before, stood at the back with one of her palace maids, and she was still isolating everyone, obviously isolated.

The fifth prince put away the folding fan: "I said the second emperor brother, you are the crown prince, we all respect you, we just want to see our father and grandmother now, since it is inconvenient to see anyone, then let them talk to us through the curtain, at least deal with some urgent matters, if it makes trouble to the emperor's door, it will not look good." ”

Compared with their "sincerity", Fan Shenxi was very ruthless, and he did not change his face in their various noises: "This palace said, the imperial grandmother and the father are not suitable to meet guests, I want to see the emperor, two days later, the father and the emperor will meet you, and the things that need to be dealt with by the imperial grandmother, Zhou Guifei has helped manage the harem for so many years, can't even handle such trivial matters?" ”

"No matter how the concubine is, she is only a concubine, and many things naturally have to wait for the queen mother to decide."

"In that case, what harem do you want you to assist in?"

Zhou Guifei glared, gritted her teeth and said: "Prince, whether I have the ability to assist in the harem is decided by the emperor and the queen mother, even if you are a prince, you are not qualified to say this, prince, you don't want to rebel, right?" ”

"I think you're the one who wants to rebel!"

As soon as this voice came out, all the concubines, including the prince, were startled, and after seeing the emperor who came out, they were first happy, and knelt down one after another, asking the emperor to say goodbye, but after kneeling, he realized that it was wrong, how did the emperor's words seem to be said to Zhou Guifei?

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Guifei, who was kneeling at the front, had tears in her eyes, "The concubine is so worried about you, now that you are fine, the concubine and the concubine will be relieved." ”

She didn't figure out what was going on, she didn't take the liberty to tell Fan Shenxi, and the emperor would come out, and what he said just now made her realize that something was wrong.

Sure enough, hearing her words, the emperor did not pull her up as usual, but asked sarcastically: "Is it?" Do you really want to see me, or do you want to see if I'm dead? ”

Zhou Guifei was terrified: "What did the emperor say, the emperor Hongfu good night, he must be healthy, what do you say that you can't die, your majesty, don't scare the concubines!" ”

She secretly touched Fan Shenxuan, and Fan Shenxuan knelt down and said, "Yes, father, we are just worried about you." ”

The emperor glanced at him, then glanced at the concubine's son who was present, and said with a smile: "So many people are surrounding here, are they just worried about me?" I thought you were going to weep for me here. ”

"The emperor spares his life, but the concubine doesn't have it!"

The concubines kowtowed one after another, they were scared, they followed Zhou Guifei here, but they didn't think that they would make the emperor angry.

The emperor snorted: "The prince has already told you that the Queen Mother will not see anyone in the Buddha's ceremony, and I will accompany the Queen Mother for two days, just like that, you will have to quarrel here to the death, okay, I will let you quarrel enough." Yi Liyun! ”

"Humble duty."

"Lock up all the women present here in the Shenqing Palace, and give me a good cry, if you don't cry for three days, no one is allowed to come out."

Shenqing Palace, which is specially placed in the palace for some people who died early in the palace, but are not qualified to enter the royal spiritual position, is cold and cold, and the tablets of many palace concubines who died in vain are placed there.

Furthermore, "crying for three days", that is, they can't rest, twelve hours a day, three days is thirty-six hours, this is to cry, do they want their voices to stop?

They hurriedly begged for mercy, but when the emperor heard it, he only felt that the irritability was about to come out again, so he hurriedly waved his hand, and Yi Liyun immediately asked people to block their mouths and pull them away, and even the palace maids who followed them did not let go, so that only one Zhou Guifei and two princes remained.

Those who can come over with Zhou Guifei are all sent by Zhou Guifei, which is equivalent to cutting off all the feathers of Zhou Guifei at once, although it can be taken back again, but the blow to the moment is very big.

She knelt on the ground, her forehead was dripping with cold sweat, thinking if the emperor would let her go in the past, but the emperor still named her:

"As for you, Concubine Zhou, I think the prince is right, you are in charge of assisting in the management of the harem, the queen mother will pay homage to the Buddha, you can't handle anything, let those women make trouble in front of the Fengning Palace, disturb the queen mother, what should you be guilty of?"

"Concubines and concubines are just in case, I'm afraid I won't be able to satisfy the queen mother......"

"Don't make excuses for your incompetence." The emperor said sharply to this tender and sweet woman in the past, "Since you don't have the ability, let someone else do it." Ordered, from today on, Zhou Guifei has thought behind closed doors in the Hehuan Palace, and before the end of the Queen Mother's worship of the Buddha, Concubine Shu will temporarily manage the harem! ”

Zhou Guifei's body weakened, and she fell back to the ground from squatting and kneeling, and was supported by Fan Shenxi in time: "Mother? ”

He hurriedly turned to the emperor again: "Father, ......" Zhou Guifei pinched him behind his back, and he swallowed back the words begging for mercy in time, "Erchen, Erchen are ashamed, let Father and Emperor be angry, and Erchen is willing to accompany his mother to think about it." ”

The emperor's anger eased a little because Fan Shenxuan admitted his mistake in time, but he still said coldly: "Then go with your mother, it's best to persuade your mother, don't behave like a shrew." ”

Shrew?

Zhou Guifei, who was about to get up and leave with the support of her son, almost fell down again when her feet were weak.

Even if the Zhou family is not as good as the prime minister, it can be regarded as a famous family, she is a raised daughter, and now she is a noble concubine, and she has been evaluated by a shrew, which makes her gain a foothold in the palace in the future?

This is not only a shame for her, but also a shame for the entire Zhou family.

Just as a woman regards her reputation as very important, a famous family also regards her upbringing as equally important.

Fan Shenxuan wanted to persuade, but remembering the reminder of the concubine just now, he held back his words, helped the almost paralyzed concubine up with some force, and left here step by step.

"Mother, why?" Fan Shenxuan, who was holding Concubine Zhou, secretly asked her behind the emperor's back, and her tone was full of unwillingness.

"Can't you see it?" Zhou Guifei gritted her teeth, "We were tricked, the first news we heard was that the emperor beat the queen mother for no reason, and then the news came that the emperor was poisoned and accidentally injured the queen mother." ”

"Is there something wrong with this?"

"Of course it's not right," Zhou Guifei clenched her hands very tightly because she held back her hatred, "There seems to be no difference between the two, but the difference is big, the latter, the emperor was poisoned, then no matter what he did, he had a reason, and if the poisoning was deep, the emperor would not be able to come out so quickly unharmed." But if, for his own reasons, the emperor beat the queen mother, and the beating was very serious, then when this matter spreads, how faceless will the emperor and the queen mother be? If the Queen Mother is seriously injured, how can she meet people? ”

"Isn't it because of this that we have to rush over, I'm afraid that Fan Shen will ...... him"

"If the queen mother and the emperor are not in a big deal, what can the prince control? He blocked the news and sent us away under other pretexts, which was exactly what the emperor and the queen mother wanted, understand? ”

Fan Shenxuan understood: "So Fan Shenxi, the cunning wolf, deliberately let people take a walk, saying that the Empress Dowager is very serious, so that we are afraid that once they are unexpected, the prince will snatch the opportunity and have to come, and when we come, he casually perfunctory us, causing us to be angry and quarreling with him, so that we ourselves have angered our father?" ”

He panicked a little: "So what now?" ”

"What else can I do?" Zhou Guifei scolded angrily in a low voice, and then calmed herself down, "The matter has come to this, we will think about it behind closed doors during this time, and let the emperor dissipate our anger first." Don't worry, even if he favors the prince today, in order to balance the prince, as long as we are not wrong, the emperor will not do anything to us, this time I will endure it first, and next time I will ...... Don't do it in my hands! ”
