61. Life is like a play
As soon as the words fell, he narrowed his eyes again and said, "To say, this thing is quite strange, Shen Zhen didn't even think he came back from the divine doctor, why did he find a poison to come back?" ”
"I don't know." Tong Xi shook his head, "I only heard that it's the little junior sister of the miracle doctor, who is very poisonous." ”
Xin Mu laughed, leaned slightly, and asked softly, "Master, what is the origin of that flower thousand bouquet?" Looking at her like that, no one is a ghost or a ghost, she is really scared. ”
"You kid thought of it, that's not it, you're my master!" Tong Xi said angrily.
Xin Mu tilted his head and thought about it, but he was confused, but he still took a picture, "Otherwise, how can you say that Master, you are the smartest person?" I can't think of it! ”
"What message did we send?" Tong Xi's feminine eyebrows and eyes pursed a sly smile, "Even if we don't tell the queen mother, the flower god doctor brought a little junior sister, and the queen mother will know when it dawns tomorrow." So, why don't we be a favor? ”
Xin Mu stepped forward with a shy face and hugged Tong Xi's leg again, "Then Master, since we are the emperor's people, why do we still send news to the queen's mother?" ”
"Idiot!" Tong Xi suddenly opened his eyes, kicked Xin Mu's feet, and said angrily: "What do you mean that we are the concubines and the mother, remember, none of us are people." After thinking about it, he felt that this was not right, paused, and said softly: "We are the emperor's people, and the emperor is our master." ”
Xin Mu secretly raised his eyes to look, and at the end, he asked softly, "Master, aren't we from Concubine Shu's family?" How ...... it?"
A smile of unknown meaning bloomed on Tong Xi's pale face.
"Make it clear, not a word is much, a word is a lot, whatever the master says, I will say it." Xin Mu said in a voice.
Tong Ximei took it, closed his eyes, hummed an out-of-tune song in his mouth, and enjoyed Xin Mu's just right beating and pinching. asked, "What you said was made clear?" ”
Xin Mu was immediately so happy that he couldn't see his teeth on his face, so he stepped forward, squatted and flattered Tong Xi's feet, and the flattering words in his mouth were one sentence after another, and he almost hugged Tong Xi's feet and shouted his father.
Tong Xi waved his hand and said, "Put it away, so that you can know that being my apprentice will not make you suffer." ”
Xin Mu shook his head repeatedly.
Tong Xi sneered and sneered, and said angrily: "Look at your little talent, is your master and I the one who lacks such a little silver?" ”
Xin Mu took out the bulging purse he had just gotten, and presented it with both hands with a sneer, "Master, this is the queen's mother's reward." The apprentice doesn't dare to hide his secrets, you are too old. ”
One of the many halls of the Royal Palace.
At the end, he smiled silently, shook his head and said: "I underestimated Tong Xi, such a secret thing, I thought that few people knew about it, but I didn't think of it, but he knew very well." ”
Empress Wei nodded.
Yan Ke raised his eyes, "Yes and no, why don't we wait and see?" ”
"Shen Zhen retrieved Hua Qianbouquet to deal with Yan Li?" Empress Wei said firmly.
Yan Ke smiled, lowered his eyes and said, "So, after our Shen guard hated his eldest aunt all his life, he transferred this hatred to her son!" ”
"Shen Zhen did have a love for your eldest aunt back then, but your eldest aunt didn't even fancy a young talent like Cui Jinyan, so how could she look down on him?" Empress Wei said softly.
"My aunt is dead, but she has left a son in the world." Yan Ke looked at Empress Shangwei, "Although Erchen has never witnessed the peerless elegance of the eldest aunt, it can be imagined that a person like her should be admired like a carp crossing the river." In this world, people's hearts are the most difficult to fathom, and some people may think, I am fortunate to have it, but I am not killed. But some people don't! ”
Empress Wei was stunned, and looked up at Yan Ke sharply.
Yan Ke then continued: "Then since Shen Zhen knows that the eldest aunt and this flower thousand bouquet are enemies, why did he invite the flower thousand bouquet back in a good manner?" ”
Empress Wei nodded.
Yan Ke was silent for a while, and then asked softly, "Queen Mother, didn't you say that Shen Zhen was under the command of the eldest aunt in the past?" If you know about the past, he must know it too, right? ”
Empress Wei shook her head and said softly: "I don't know what happened later, because at that time, your father was already a little jealous of your eldest aunt's military achievements, and some people slandered in his ear, and gradually your father began to guard against your eldest aunt. Your aunt is such a smart and perceptive person that she simply moved out of the imperial city and into a house she had privately purchased. ”
Afterward?
"And then?" Yan Ke asked.
As if she knew Yan Ke's thoughts, Empress Wei smiled and said softly: "Princess Protector is such a person, she loves and hates clearly, if she wants to be good to you, she can send the whole world to you, if she doesn't want to be good to you, she can send you to the eighteenth layer of hell!" ”
This...... That's cruel, isn't it?
Yan Ke was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall.
"Ah......h
"Only your aunt is not a good-natured person, at first she could hide from this flower girl, but if she couldn't hide, it was just a kind persuasion, but who knew that this flower girl was not in the oil and salt, and vowed to kill her. Your eldest aunt was also angry, and set up a plan to capture this flower girl, not to mention, because this flower girl is good at drugs and cups, your eldest aunt asked people to search out her poison and cups, and if it was poison, she was fed to eat, and all the cups were put on her! ”
Empress Wei shook her head, "No one knows exactly what happened, it's just that this flower girl is a brutal, vicious and ruthless person, and I don't know how your eldest aunt provoked her. ”
"What are you doing chasing after your aunt?" Yan Ke asked confusedly.
"Your eldest aunt left the current secretary of the military department, Cui Jin, to be in charge of peace talks, and she took Feng Wei back to the imperial city with a light suite. It's just that when she returned to the imperial city with her front foot, someone chased after her back foot, and that person was the flower thousand bouquets that Xin Mu said. ”
"It wasn't until later that I met Li Qi, the founding emperor of Eastern Xia, that your eldest aunt met an opponent for the first time, and several fierce battles were indistinguishable. Later, for unknown reasons, the two sides suddenly ceased to negotiate peace. ”
"After a bloody fight, your eldest aunt finally sent your father to the throne, but at this time, foreign enemies attacked, first the Di country in the north, and then the small country of Xiao Yi in the west, your aunt and mother led the troops to take command of the battle, originally everyone was not optimistic, but your aunt was stunned to win one battle after another, and even almost annexed the small country of Di."
"When the first emperor died, there was a clan eyeing him, although your father was from the middle palace, but above him there were seven or eight princes who were older than him and had become powerful, they either held military power or the mother clan was prosperous, if it wasn't for your eldest aunt, your father and emperor would not say that he would inherit the throne, but I am afraid that even his life will be difficult to protect!"
"What do you mean?" Yan Ke said softly: "Didn't my father grow up with the eldest imperial aunt?" How could he ......"
"The queen mother always feels that the focus of Tong Xi is on that flower Qianbouque." Empress Wei said softly, "This flower thousand bouquets, don't say you don't know, even your father doesn't know much." ”
Yan Ke couldn't help but frown, and asked puzzledly, "Then what does he want to sue us?" ”
Empress Wei shook her head, "Tong Xi is as well-behaved as a fox, and he will definitely not be untargeted. There must be a reason for him to do this, but there are some things that cannot be said and need to be paid attention to by ourselves. ”
As soon as Xin Mu left, Yan Ke immediately took a step forward and said softly: "Queen Mother, what does Tong Xi mean?" What do you do with such a headless and brainless few words? ”
Wei Xiu, who had been prepared, sent Xin Mu out with a smile, and at the same time took out the heavy purse in his sleeve cage and stuffed it into Xin Mu's hand.
Although Empress Wei was confused, she didn't forget to signal Wei Xiu to give a reward.
And after Xin Mu finished saying what he wanted to say, he bowed, "Niangniang, the slave has to rush back to be on an errand, so he will retire." ”
A thousand bouquets of flowers! Flower Doctor! Go to the Battle King's Mansion...... The sudden news made Empress Wei unable to digest it at all, and she couldn't even figure out why Xin Mu wanted to make this trip for a while.
Xin Mu nodded and continued: "No, because Imperial Doctor Cao was helpless against the fact that the princess and the county lord were in a coma, the prince heard that the divine doctor and the flower girl were in the palace, and he personally begged to come to the palace. Before the servants came, the emperor was about to order the flower doctor and his little junior sister to go to the War King's Mansion! ”
"A thousand bouquets of flowers?!" Empress Wei asked in a lost voice.
Xin Mu's eyes quickly swept the situation in the hall, and saw that there were only four people in the hall, Empress Wei, Yan Ke, Wei Xiu and himself, so he suppressed his voice and said softly: "Master asked the slave to tell the queen mother, Shen Huwei not only found the divine doctor, but also found the flower girl who had a little relationship with the eldest princess back then. ”
As soon as she heard that Tong Xi asked Xin Mu to come, Empress Wei suddenly cheered up with 120,000 points, "What did your master ask you to bring?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, the slave's master asked the slave to say a few words to Niangniang, and the slave had to hurry back to work as an errand when it was over." Xin Mu said in a voice like a male duck.
Empress Wei gently excused Xin Mu's courtesy, and repeatedly ordered Wei Xiu to show him a seat, but Xin Mu refused if she didn't want to.
Not long after, under the curtain raised by the palace maid, Xin Mu, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with red lips and white teeth and a beautiful face, walked in with low eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and stepped forward to greet Empress Wei and Yan Ke, "The slave has seen the queen mother, His Royal Highness the second prince." ”
And at this time, Xin Mu suddenly came to the Jiaofang Palace...... Empress Wei nodded to Wei Xiu almost without hesitation. When Wei Xiu saw Queen Wei nodding, she took three steps and two steps to greet her in person.
Tong Xi is Yan Zhengtian's confidant, and Empress Wei spent a lot of gold and silver in the past two years to start hearing some news from him.
That is the apprentice of the chief manager Tong Xi, Xin Mu.
There is only one Gonggong Xin in this palace.
Wei Xiu couldn't help but look at Empress Wei.
Almost before Empress Wei's words fell, the voice of the little palace man sounded outside, "Aunt Xiu, Gonggong Xin is here." ”
"Entering the palace at this time, it is still accompanied by Doctor Liu to enter the palace......" Queen Wei stiffened and looked at Wei Xiu, leaned slightly, her pupils tightened, and said, "Is it because of the princess and the county lord?" ”
Wei Xiu nodded, "Yes, this Emperor is receiving him in the Qinzheng Palace." ”
Empress Wei and Yan Ke immediately looked at Wei Xiu in unison, and asked in unison, "Han Cheng has entered the palace?" ”
"Niangniang, Imperial Physician Cao hasn't come back yet, but Imperial Physician Cao hasn't come, and Doctor Liu, who went with Imperial Physician Cao, has just accompanied the prince into the palace with him." Wei Xiu said.
Fortunately, at this time, Wei Xiu came back.
The mother and son guessed, but they couldn't guess what the key was.
Yan Ke shook his head, "It shouldn't be, if that's really the case, why did Han Cheng let Rong Jin leave the palace that day?" ”
After thinking about it, Empress Wei said: "Maybe it was Han Cheng's old love for Rong Fanghua, so he couldn't bear to finally disobey the princess's will and save Rong Jin." ”
"When you say that, Queen Mother, I remember it. Han Hua's thoughts about the eldest brother are something that the entire royal family knows, and our little aunt of the princess also acquiesced before, since she acquiesced, she was naturally happy to see my father make me and Yan Li enemies, how could Han Cheng sacrifice his life to protect Rong Jin? ”
Yes, he hadn't thought about it carefully before, but after being reminded by Queen Wei, he was suddenly empowered.
When Yan Ke heard this, he couldn't help but sit up straight.
"I've always felt that this thing is strange." Empress Wei let go of the hand that was rubbing her forehead, looked at Yan Ke, and said, "Your father's personality, I don't say that I know everything about it, but ninety percent of it is still there." Since he deliberately wants to provoke the relationship between you and Yan Li and make the two of you enemies, how could he allow Han Cheng to ruin his plans? ”
Yan Ke nodded and took Empress Wei's words, "But Rongjin has always been in the palace and hasn't gone anywhere." ”
In the main hall, Queen Wei raised her hand and rubbed her heavy forehead, and said to Yan Ke in a muffled voice: "Before, you asked people to ambush and kill Rong Jin on Pingqiao Street, and it was Han Cheng who rescued Rong Jin with all his might. ”
"Yes, sissy." Wei Xiu retreated.
Empress Wei straightened up and said to Wei Xiu, who hurried in: "You go and see if Cao Ji is back, if you are back, find a clever one to inquire and see what happened to the War King's Mansion." ”
"Mother." Wei Xiu hurriedly walked in.
Empress Wei suddenly raised her voice and called out to Wei Xiu, who was waiting outside the door.
"Ah Xiu."
Yan Ke nodded, "That's the case." ”
At this time, Empress Wei suddenly said: "I heard from the palace people that Princess Zhan and Lord Rong'an were unconscious, and King Zhan sent the housekeeper to rush into the palace to ask Cao Ji to leave the palace for treatment. ”
Yan Ke Huo Ran raised his head.
"I want to wait for your eldest brother to get better again, and the matter of establishing the prince should be decided." Empress Wei said faintly.
If she guessed correctly, in time, there should be a call for the ministers led by Yun Guogong to ask for Li Yanyi to be the prince, right?
At the time of Yan Yi's accident before, Yan Zhengtian was furious, ordered people to surround the Yunguo Mansion, and announced that all the ministers who participated in the Yunguo Mansion Flower Appreciation Party at the time of the incident entered the palace and reprimanded them in court. It's just that the thunder is loud and the rain is small, isn't it just to prepare for this moment?
Empress Wei raised her eyebrows, and a sneer bloomed in her apricot eyes.
What will Yan Zhengtian do?
"What does the queen mother think my father will do next?" Hearing this, Yan Ke looked up at Empress Wei and asked.
But Empress Wei was silent for a moment, and then spoke again: "But what you said is also reasonable, it is not appropriate to act rashly now, and see what your father plans to do next." ”
Yan Ke suddenly fell silent when he heard this.
"It's just weird, so what?" Empress Wei leaned back, shrunk into the beautifully carved mahogany chair behind her, looked at the palace lamps scattered with lingering candlelight in the hall, the corners of her lips curled up a cold arc, and said coldly: "Didn't I say it, a divine doctor is a divine doctor." ”
Of course it's strange, but if Yan Zhengtian and He Lanxin's sluts stop her from looking, she may still have a doubt, but now, she has witnessed it with her own eyes, and no matter how strange it is, it won't be strange!
Odd?
Yan Ke smiled, "Erchen often hears people say that some people have been sick for a long time and suddenly wake up, just when everyone thought he had improved, they found that it was just a return to the light, and death was approaching. The eldest brother was just a breath more than the dead before, but now he is suddenly better, not only is it good, but he can also speak, don't you think it's strange after the queen mother? ”
"Why?" Empress Wei asked.
Yan Ke groaned slightly, and then said softly: "Erchen's meaning, it is better to wait and see the changes first. ”
Empress Wei lowered her eyelids, a smile bloomed on her round face, and the next moment, her eyes raised slightly, falling on Yan Ke's face who looked at her, "The divine doctor is really a divine doctor, and you will know if there is one as soon as you make a move." You ask the queen mother what she thinks, but the queen mother wants to ask you, what are you going to do? ”
What do you think?
After returning to the Jiaofang Palace, Yan Ke did not leave immediately, but gave Wei Xiu a look, and after Wei Xiu sent all the palace people who were waiting, he asked: "Queen Mother, what do you think about the matter of the eldest emperor?" ”
Empress Wei was silent for a moment, didn't say anything, and Yan Ke helped her forward.
When Empress Wei saw it, she was about to step forward to inspect, but Yan Ke waved her hand, and at the end, she looked up at the Jiaofang Hall not far away, took a step forward, helped Empress Wei's hand, and said softly: "Queen Mother, the son will help you in." ”
Yan Ke tugged at the corners of his mouth, but accidentally touched the wound at the corner of his eye, and the pain made him "swish" and inhale a few breaths of cold air.
"You have an injury, why didn't you sit in a sedan chair, but left by yourself?" Empress Wei said with annoyance: "The bones of the body are your own, and it hurts when you turn around, but no one bears it for you." ”
Empress Wei paused, looked sideways, and found that Yan Ke had been walking behind her, and the palace man carrying the sedan chair didn't know when he had been sent down.
In the silence, Yan Ke's voice suddenly sounded.
"The Queen Mother."
Wei Xiu walked behind her and wanted to speak several times, but after facing Empress Wei's face like water several times, she swallowed what she wanted to say.
Empress Wei walked step by step with the lantern lingering in front of her.
Outside the Hall of Bright Light.
Helan was like a marionette, allowing Yan Zhengtian to bring her stiff body into his arms, with a warm chest under him, but it couldn't warm her heart that was slowly dying.
"Ah Xin......" Yan Zhengtian frowned, was silent, tried to reach over to hold He Lan's hand, and persuaded softly: "Ah Xin, calm down, you listen to me, there is a flower doctor, Yi'er will definitely get better." ”
Leaning slightly, she suddenly laughed and said in a deep voice: "The emperor actually doesn't know either, right?" Or, in your heart, you don't think Yi'er can get better at all! ”
Without Lan Zhengtian's answer, Helan's flushed face gradually lost its blood color until it was as white as paper.
Looking at Helan's round eyes, Yan Zhengtian was speechless for a long time.
Before Yan Zhengtian could speak, Helan asked again, "How long?" Your Majesty, tell me, how long will it take for our Yi'er to laugh, move, walk and dance like before! ”
"How long?"
Yan Zhengtian looked at Helan Clan, sighed, stepped forward to take Helan Clan's shoulder, and walked out with her, explaining softly as she walked: "Ah Xin, Doctor Hua said that Yi'er is not necessarily unable to get better, but it takes time to ......."
She didn't know what a heart cup was, but she knew it wasn't necessarily a good thing.
Helan was stunned for a moment.
"That's because the flower girl gave Yi'er a heart-to-heart cup." Yan Zhengtian said coldly.
Helan Huo Ran turned his head, looked at Yan Zhengtian with angry eyebrows with sad eyes, and sobbed: "Your Majesty, I didn't mess around, you also saw it just now, Yi'er ...... him"
"Ah Xin, what are you messing around!"
Before Hua Qianshu could speak, Yan Zhengtian on one side scolded coldly at this time.
"You, can you cure my Yi'er?" Helan looked eagerly at the smiling Hua Qianbou, "As long as you can make Yi'er like just now, I, I can promise you anything!" ”
"Niangniang, you are shaking your head and nodding again, what do you mean?" Hua Qianshu raised her hand and curled a strand of long hair that hung down to her chest, and looked at Helan with a smile in her eyebrows.
Helan nodded again and again, but in the next moment, he shook his head hurriedly.
A playful smile bloomed in Hua Qianshu's cold eyes, interrupting Helan again, "Niangniang wants to hear His Highness speak?" ”
Flower Girl?!
After Helan was stunned, he hurriedly corrected his mistake, "Flower girl, I ......"
Not a flower lady?
"Lady Flowers?" Hua Qianshu's already frowning brows tightened more and more, and her eyes looked at Helan as cold as ice, "Who is Mrs. Hua?" Isn't there a problem with her eyes? Where do you see that I'm married? ”
"Hua ......," Helan looked at Hua Qianshu anxiously, and wanted to call him "girl", but when he faced Hua Qian's silver hair, he didn't know how to speak. After a pause, he said: "Mrs. Hua, I just saw that you asked Yi'er to speak, you, can you ......?"
Helan didn't have time to care about her rudeness, but took a step forward, raised his hand to grab Hua Qianshu's hand, only to touch Hua Qianshu's sleeve, Hua Qianshu shook his body, and in an instant he opened an arm's distance from Helan Shi, frowned, and said coldly: "Niangniang has something to say, please don't move your hands and feet." ”
Looking at Helan's gaze, Hua Qianshu picked the corners of his lips, and on his fair and beautiful face, his extremely deep eyes bloomed with a shallow smile, and he nodded his chin arrogantly to Helan's family, which was considered a courtesy.
She thought it was Yi'er who woke up, but who knew that it was...... Helan looked at Hua Qianbou, who stood on the side with a stiff face.
Suddenly, I remembered the scene when Wei Huang and Yan Ke came before, and Yan Yi could speak.
Helan looked at Yan Zhengtian in a daze.
"She is the little junior sister of the flower doctor, and it was thanks to her just now that Webster's doubts were dispelled." Yan Zhengtian said.
Helan found out that Yan Zhengtian and Hua Hecheng were also in the hall, she stood up and stumbled towards Yan Zhengtian, "Your Majesty, she ......"
Yan Zhengtian's reassuring voice sounded in his ears.
"Ah Xin."
As soon as she opened her eyes, Helan looked nervously at Yan Yi on the bed, and saw that Yan Yi was still lying with her eyes closed like a wooden man like she had seen before, Helan was relieved at first, but the next moment, she raised her eyes in a hurry as frightened. When his eyes met the thousands of flowers standing in the middle of the main hall, dressed in white like snow, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation again.
With a decision in his heart, Yan Zhengtian looked at Yan Yi on the bed again, and was about to speak, but at this moment, Helan Shi, who had fainted by Hua Qianbou, woke up.
Lin Xinyao, the biological mother of the fifth prince, was originally the eldest daughter of Lin Zhengtang, the head of the Hanlin Academy, who was drafted into the palace nine years ago, and Lin Zhengtang died of illness as early as five years ago. And the Lin family is thin, except for Lin Xinyao, there is only one son, and two years ago, Ding Wei was sent to Wangjiang County as a county magistrate.
Yan Zhengtian shook his head, no, he didn't have that much time to listen to the destiny of heaven, he had to do his best to plan. In his mind, he quickly went through the remaining princes, and finally settled on the fifth prince Yanyu.
Resignation to destiny?!
Hua Hecheng sighed and said softly: "After His Highness's accident, the treatment was delayed due to the delay of time, and the old man could only say that he would do his best and obey the destiny of heaven!" ”
"Divine doctor, is there really no chance for the eldest prince's illness?"
Yan Zhengtian waved his hand and looked at Yan Yi on the bed with a pale face and closed eyes with heavy eyes.
Hua He Cheng glanced at Yan Zhengtian, who had a gloomy face and treacherous eyes on the side, sighed, and had the intention to scold Hua Qianshu for a few words, but when he looked at Hua Qianshu's snow-like silver hair, he just sighed long after all, and said to Yan Zhengtian: "Your Majesty, the little junior sister is stubborn by nature, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”
"Senior brother," Hua Qianshu lowered her eyes and walked towards Hua Hecheng, "I didn't mean to be rude to Niangniang. ”
Hua Qianshu turned around, looking at Hua Hecheng, who didn't know when he came in with Yan Zhengtian.
A low, helpless shout sounded behind him.
"Qianshu, don't be rude to your mother!"
The figure is slender and thin, wearing a wide-sleeved white dress, and his white hair is casually draped around his waist. In the dim candlelight, a pair of dark and bright eyes flashed with a faint blue light, and at this moment they were sneering at the Helan clan who had passed out on the bed.
Just when the Helan clan fell unconscious, a slender figure slowly fell on the top of the carved rosewood bed under Yan Yi.
