Chapter 428: Causes

Cui Teng didn't suffer much, but he was frightened a lot, and he couldn't get out of bed for a few days after returning home, everyone said that he was a filial son, and his father was seriously injured and bedridden, and he also had to empathize. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The servants beside Cui Teng had a different opinion, feeling that the master was actually still missing Zhang Qinyan, and he had been frightened repeatedly in the past period of time, which made the whole person in a trance.

Mother has come to see him, except for sighing, she can't help anything, she is now the real mistress of Cui Mansion, but she is even more overwhelmed than before, "I have to mourn Lao Jun in two days, the imperial doctor said that your father still can't get up, you are the eldest grandson, and Lao Jun likes you so much......"

"Mother, I'll be fine." Cui Teng, in turn, had to comfort his mother, "It's really not good, let people put me up, in short, I will do my filial piety to Laojun, and I can't let outsiders laugh at our Cui family." ”

The imperial doctor said that Cui Teng had a heart disease, and taking medicine was just an aid, and someone had to enlighten him, and Cui's mother had no choice but to ask for help.

The emperor and the empress have sent people to visit, Zhang Youcai is the emperor's cronies, his arrival made Cui Teng excited for a while, but it was only a short time, and as soon as the person left, he became weak again.

Many of Cui Teng's friends have all come, or flattering, or laughing, or bold, or urging long talks, but the effect is not obvious.

When only fox friends talked about the newly famous beauties in the capital, Cui Teng's eyes lit up, and he sat up for a while, eager to try, wanting to get out of bed and get dressed, and go to find flowers and willows together.

But as long as he thought of Zhang Qinyan, all his ambitions instantly came to naught, he couldn't see the qin now, he couldn't hear the words "Zhang" and "Yan", and when he saw the eunuch Zhang Youcai, he couldn't help but shed two tears, which frightened Zhang Youcai.

The New Year is approaching, other people's families are happy, and Cui's mansion is still shrouded in gloomy clouds.

In the end, it was Pingenhoufu who came up with an idea: "If you want to talk about persuading people's hearts, famous doctors may not be useful, and your own house is also dark, so you have to find a smart and clever person to make sense." ”

She recommended the King of the East Sea.

Cui's mother wrote a letter, and Mrs. Ping Enhou personally went to invite three times, and the king of the East China Sea finally reluctantly agreed. Lao Jun is the grandmother of the king of the East China Sea, and he has always been very fond of him when he was a child, so the king of the East China Sea came to Cui's mansion in the name of helping the funeral.

Cui Teng was lying on the bed humming hoarsely, as if he was breathless, and as if he was singing a little tune, but he was seriously out of tune, and no one could understand it.

The king of the East China Sea didn't understand either, and as soon as he entered the room, he arched his hand to the bed and said, "Congratulations, Cui Er." ”

Cui Teng raised his head slightly and glanced at the comer, continued to hum, and after a while, seeing that the king of the East China Sea did not go down, he was a little anxious, motioned to the servant to help him up, leaned on the folded futon next to him, and asked: "The Cui family has a bad year, a bunch of unlucky things, and I am sick like this, why am I happy?" ”

The King of the East Sea, who was looking around the room, walked to the side of the bed and said with a smile: "Isn't it worth celebrating that you are so sick and not dead?" ”

Cui Teng glared angrily and lifted the quilt covering his body, "King of the East China Sea, are you here to beg for a beating?" Who invited you? I'll pack you up. ”

The King of the East Sea nodded, "Sure enough, I guess you are pretending to be sick, so that I can cheat the truth at once." ”

Cui Teng was so angry that he almost fainted, pushed away the servant, and really stood up on the ground, but he had been in bed for too long, his body was weak, and he got up too violently, only feeling a dizziness in his head, and when he came back to understand, the person had already laid down again, and there was a smiling King of the East China Sea standing in front of him.

"Why are you still here?"

The king of the East Sea said to his servant, "Go out, and our brothers will talk for a while." ”

The servant didn't dare to leave, and the king of the East China Sea said, "Cui Er, do you dare to talk to me alone?" ”

"Get out!" Cui Teng shouted angrily, and he didn't know what he was saying, but the servant consciously accepted it and hurriedly walked out.

"Come on, what do you want to say? Laughing at me, or provocative? Say it all, I can stand it. Cui Teng straightened his neck and said, his expression was indeed much better than usual.

The King of the East Sea put away his smile, "I know why you are bedridden, and I know that you are stupid to do this. ”

"You know a!" Cui Teng couldn't help but swear words, "Even if you know, what can you do?" A son cannot be a father......"

The King of the East Sea shook his head solemnly, "I am your cousin, we have lived together since childhood, you can't get out of bed, and it has nothing to do with your uncle." ”

Cui Teng's face flushed, "I forgot that you grew up in the Cui family." That's right, I'm a woman who can't get out of bed, what's the matter? Alas, the world is the most beautiful, if you say no, it's gone, I still don't understand, how can she be ruthless? What do you want to do, why do you want to help the Assassins? ”

Cui Teng scratched his head, his face full of confusion.

The king of the East China Sea felt that this was a simple question, "She is a native of the rivers and lakes, and she must have owed a lot of favors in her early years, so she can only repay it with her life." ”

"Tell me, I can afford to live a few lives, as long as she's okay."

The East Sea King shook his head again.

"You don't believe me? Let me tell you, except for my own family and Your Majesty, I don't care about other people's lives. Alas, why didn't anyone want your life? How nice it would be to exchange you for a piano language. ”

The king of the East China Sea laughed, and then shook his head, "No, you are bedridden and have only a little relationship with Zhang Qinyan." ”

Cui Teng was really confused, "What nonsense are you talking about, don't I know myself as well as you?" ”

"The authorities are obsessed." The King of the East Sea said disapprehantly, turned around and walked away, picked up the small objects on the table, looked at them, and put them down.

Cui Teng was still waiting, and said angrily: "When did you develop this problem?" Don't say anything half-talked. ”

The King of the East Sea returned to the bed, "I'll ask you one thing first, and you answer truthfully, and then I'll tell you why you're fascinated." ”

"I don't promise to tell you the truth, but you ask."

"Why did Your Majesty let the Cui family go?"

"Because the Cui family is not guilty." Cui Teng immediately said.

"Innocent?"

Cui Teng hesitated, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

"There are no outsiders here, let's say in private, Your Majesty has always been wary of your uncle in charge of the Southern Army, this is always right?"

Cui Teng didn't squeak, he didn't make any expressions, if he wanted to be wary, he was very wary of the King of the East China Sea now, and he almost forgot about his weakness, and sat on the bed for a while, but he didn't lie down.

"Taking this opportunity, Your Majesty can take back the military power in the name of righteousness, but Your Majesty did not do so, and your uncle wrote to beg for bones three times, and Your Majesty retreated, which is really to keep your uncle, not an ordinary perfunctory. Why did His Majesty suddenly change his attitude? ”

"Because my sister, she is the queen, and she and Your Majesty are a husband and wife in distress."

"Your words are only half right, my cousin and His Majesty have always been in love, but they have been married for many years, and the first person in the palace to get pregnant is not the queen."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Cui Teng was confused again.

The king of the East China Sea smiled: "Stupid, what I'm talking about is you, Your Majesty let go of the Cui family, and it was not your uncle who appeased her, not just the queen, the most important reason is you." ”

"Me?" Cui Teng thought for a while, "I don't have that much face. ”

"Think about it again, why did Your Majesty keep pronouncing your name when he was sober?"

"Your Majesty later told me that when he was assassinated, he wondered who had taught my nephew that trick of suppressing bandits, and he never forgot it when he was unconscious, so he called me by name when he woke up. I said it was Yan Pengshi, he used to live in my house, but His Majesty chose one of Yan Pengshi's servants, and I don't understand why. ”

"I see, but anyway, Your Majesty is the first to think of you, not someone else, right?"

"This is true, and not long after I entered the palace, His Majesty specially sent Meng E to tell me the truth, saying that His Majesty was pretending to be confused at that time, so as not to be too afraid...... Hey? Why am I saying this to you? You're still so insidious, deliberately tricking me, right? ”

"You kid is still so blind, you don't know the hearts of good people in person. I'm here to point out the maze and tell you: You are still Your Majesty's favorite minister, and the survival of the entire Cui family is pinned on you. ”

Cui Teng was stunned for a while, and slowly, a hot breath arose from the bottom of his heart and gradually spread to his entire body, "Your Majesty...... Don't blame me for attracting the Assassins? Don't blame me for being slow to save the driver? ”

"Your Majesty blames you, but forgives you."

"Really? Have you talked to Your Majesty? What did Your Majesty say? ”

"I'm not a favored servant like you, of course Your Majesty wouldn't say these things to me." The King of the East Sea pointed to his eyes, "I can see better than you, it's always been like this, you have to admit this, right?" ”

Cui Teng admitted that the King of the East China Sea was smarter than himself, and asked expectantly, "Your Majesty really forgives me?" ”

"The assassination happened in the Cui Mansion, the assassin is the person under your nose, and any emperor will be condemned to death for the Cui family, and the queen will also be deposed and beheaded on the street, but Your Majesty is unprecedentedly magnanimous, isn't this forgiveness?"

"That's right."

"But it's good that you don't appreciate it, and you pretend to be sick and hide from your majesty, you really don't know how to be satisfied."

"I'm not pretending to be sick, I'm really sick, really, cough cough ......" Cui Teng coughed twice, and he felt strange, he usually felt dizzy and dizzy when he said so much, but today he became more and more excited the more he talked, and he was not tired at all.

"Your Majesty's first recovery, it is the time when you need help the most, even if you are a courtier, you have to climb over, you are a favored minister, you should lead by example, as long as you have a breath, you have to serve Your Majesty, but you lie on the bed and refuse to get up, is it considered to be pretending to be sick?"

"Favored minister" is not a good word, every time the king of the East China Sea said it, his tone was sarcastic, but Cui Teng didn't care at all, and even liked this title, muttering: "Yes, yes, I have to go to see Your Majesty, go immediately, Your Majesty needs me to ......"

Cui Teng shouted loudly to the servants outside, this is to wear clothes and boots.

The king of the East China Sea didn't say much, turned around and left, didn't say goodbye to his uncle, and went back to his house, not long after entering the house, Mrs. Ping Enhou chased after her, with a smile on her face, "I just said that I didn't see the wrong person, as soon as the good brother left, Cui Teng was like crazy, he could run and jump, how could he still be sick?" The family was watching him and asking him to eat something, or he would immediately run to the palace to see His Majesty. Good brother, you are really ...... What a miracle healer. ”

The king of the East China Sea smiled, he and Cui Teng often competed for favor in front of the emperor, and he knew Cui Teng's mind best, and he chatted for a while in the past, and he guessed it.

Mrs. Ping Enhou then sighed, "But the impact of the assassination is still too great, and the Empress Dowager Cining doesn't trust the Cui family even more, and her good impression of me is gone, and she has not allowed me to enter the palace." ”

"I've already given you ideas." The King of the East Sea said flatly.

"Empress Dowager Shangguan? It's all rumors, and there's no real evidence. ”

"It's up to you." The King of the East Sea pretended to be impatient, "Jing Yao is an old man in the palace, if he doesn't grasp anything, it must be because you haven't gained his trust." ”

Mrs. Ping Enhou nodded, feeling that what the King of the East China Sea said was extremely true. (To be continued.) )
