The news spread like a gust of wind throughout the capital.
Mrs. Cheng said with a worried face: "Five days, how can I get better, I heard that King An is very sick, and this child is also a miserable life." β
He was taken out of the court since he was born, and he finally came back, and not long after he was crowned king, he became seriously ill.
Master Cheng frowned, thought for a moment, and shook his head, "Not necessarily, King An doesn't seem to have a plan in his heart, and he doesn't know what's going on with this disease." β
Last time in Macheng Mansion, it was also rumored, and it was said that he was dead, but in the end, it was not good to come back.
"It's a pity that we can't go to visit." Master Cheng sighed.
After King An returned to Beijing, he was afraid that the Queen Mother would find out about the Cheng family, so he never contacted them, even if he met them in public, he just greeted them politely.
Originally, the last time the couple went to Macheng Mansion, it had already aroused the suspicion of the Queen Mother, if it weren't for the eldest son Cheng Minyuan's relatives in the way, Cheng Minyuan and Qiao Danhua's relatives were the threads drawn by the eldest princess Fuyun, I am afraid that the Queen Mother would have found out about the Cheng family's head.
Mrs. Cheng's heart trembled, and she unconsciously lowered her voice and said, "You mean to say that King An is actually not sick?" β
She said, how could she be so sick in just a few days that she couldn't even get out of bed.
Master Cheng pondered for a moment before he slowly spoke, and his voice was also lowered, "I'm afraid it's hard to say, we can't help much, let's wait and see what happens, and when you meet someone who can help, stretch out your hand." β
Mrs. Cheng fell silent.
For Qi Chenjing, she always has an inexplicable pity in her heart, perhaps because she was deeply related to his fate when she was a baby.
For so many years, the couple has always secretly paid attention to everything about him, and after a long time, it has become a habit, and they always can't recognize it and want to care about him.
"My husband is incompetent, and I can't help him with anything, but fortunately, Mr. will come to Beijing after the year, and I think I can help him then." Seeing that his wife was silent, Master Cheng knew his wife Mo Ruofu, so he opened his mouth to comfort her.
Mrs. Cheng was surprised at first, and then she was really happy, "Mr. is going to Beijing?" For King An, there is more than one more help. β
The relationship between King An and Mr. Yan is still a secret, and few people know that the famous Confucian Yan Heqing is actually the maternal grandmother of King An Qi Chenjing, and the father of the former emperor's favorite concubine Zhuangfei.
Mr. Yan has refused to set foot in the capital for so many years, which shows that he has always had a knot in his heart, and now he is finally willing to enter Beijing for the sake of King An, which shows that his thoughts have changed.
Mr. Yan's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, although not all of these people can be used by him, but most of them still have respect and admiration for Mr. Yan, who knows if these people will not be the help of King An in the future?
Cheng saw that his wife was really happy, and he also smiled and didn't speak again, when he first received the letter from his husband, why didn't he think so in his heart.
Speaking of helping Qi Chenjing, Mrs. Cheng remembered one thing, "My daughter-in-law secretly helped Miss Kang buy some properties, I don't know if it has anything to do with King An?" β
After Qiao Danhua and Cheng Minyuan got married, Cheng Minyuan watched politics in the Sixth Ministry, and she was not the kind of person who did not restrict her daughter-in-law to set rules in front of her, thinking that her daughter-in-law had just come to the capital, so she was allowed to go out and go around.
After more than a month, she knew that Qiao Danhua had ordered a few shops, as if she was about to open a shop, although Mrs. Cheng was from a scholarly family, she was not the kind of pedantic person, and she did not stop her, she only told her to be careful, and not to lose the face of their Cheng family.
Master Cheng is a man, and he doesn't pay much attention to his daughter-in-law's business, so he just hummed, "You tell your daughter-in-law more, if she has something to do with King An, be sure to let her be careful, and don't let people target her." β
Mrs. Cheng nodded in response, "It's not early, let's sleep." β
The couple turned off the lights and lay down side by side, and the night gradually deepened.
At this time, the palace and the Antai Hall were still lit with candles.
The emperor's face was a little not good, he was busy dealing with the government all day, and finally went to the palace of the imperial concubine to accompany the concubine and his one-and-a-half-year-old son, and before he could say a word, he was called by the queen mother.
Thinking of his son's pitiful little eyes when he was leaving, the emperor's heart became more and more unhappy.
There is still only one child under his knees, and for more than a year, he has worked the concubines, but there is still no son and half a daughter coming out, and it is not that no concubines are pregnant, but all of them have miscarried.
His heart was naturally very depressed, and he was naturally more fond of the prince born by the imperial concubine.
"Queen Mother, it's so late, what's the matter with calling me over?" The heart was not happy, and the emperor's words inevitably carried two points of impatience.
The Queen Mother glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, "It's not over yet, why is it too late, are you in a hurry to go to the palace of that concubine?" Don't even have the time to say a word to the mourners? β
The emperor pursed his lips and did not speak.
The Queen Mother snorted before she spoke, "I heard that today, the eldest princess of Fuyun went to the court, and asked for the jade for King An, and the emperor allowed King An to sacrifice to the temple five days later?" β
Is it a government again?
The embarrassed humiliation of the emperor being almost forced into a dead end by the eldest princess Fuyun in the court came to his heart again, and his chest was suffocated, and he lost his mind a little, and his words were a little angry, "Queen Mother, you called me here to say this?" I Chrysostom said, the holy decree, the queen mother just wants to say something too late. β
The Queen Mother's face changed, obviously she didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing.
"You are presumptuous," the Queen Mother's hand slapped heavily on the small table at hand, and the teacup on the top shook a few times, and finally fell down, and with a crisp sound, it was broken into several halves.
"The mourning family cares about you, is it afraid that you will suffer a loss, do you repay the mourning family with this attitude? Are you so filial to your mourners? The Queen Mother was so angry that her body trembled.
The emperor's lips became tighter and tighter, and his face was very ugly.
The queen mother saw that she reprimanded, the emperor was unmoved, her face changed, and she wiped the corners of her eyes sadly, "The mourning family is old, and I can't help the emperor, so I can only make the emperor annoyed, that's it, that's it, the mourning family will move to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow to accompany the emperor, and it will save the emperor's eyes." β
As he spoke, he covered his eyes with a handkerchief and began to cry.
The queen mother's attitude suddenly changed from hard to soft, the emperor was stunned, and then a little helpless, suppressed the anger in his heart, and explained to the queen mother with an unnatural face, "Queen Mother, I didn't mean that just now, I have been on the throne for more than five years, and I have been quite experienced in dealing with court politics. β
Although it was a persuasion, the emperor's face was unnatural, and the words he said seemed a little stiff.
The Queen Mother's heart suddenly cooled.
The emperor is really separated from her, and he doesn't want her to interfere in the affairs of the court anymore.
The Queen Mother thought for a moment and wiped away her tears, "The mourning family also knows that you can handle the government independently, but I always think about how young you are, and I am afraid that you will be fooled by the courtiers, so I want to help you watch more." β
The emperor hummed lightly.
"The queen mother is also dedicated to your good, if you feel uncomfortable, you don't care about the mourning family in the future, that's it, the emperor, the mourning family is your mother, and it is really dedicated to your good." The Queen Mother said that tears fell again.
The queen mother said sincerely, and the emperor's heart softened, "Queen Mother, I know that I ...... just now" didn't pull down her face to apologize, and then mentioned the matter of Qi Chenjing's sacrifice to the temple, "...... At that time, my aunt and grandmother were pressing step by step, and I really had no choice, so I had to make an order, Ding Gang and Sun Zhong had both gone to see it, Qi Chenjing was now dying, and he couldn't get better at all in five days, unless he could take the elixir. β
Seeing that the emperor took the initiative to mention Qi Chenjing's matter, the queen mother no longer held on to the emperor's anger, but after what happened just now, she also knew that the emperor had begun to taboo herself from interfering in court affairs, so she suppressed the words that she had planned to accuse the emperor of not agreeing to the eldest princess Fuyun.
"What does this old thief want to do? Standing on Qi Chenjing's side in such a hurry, did she want to rebel? She scolded the eldest princess of Fuyun with a cold face.
Although the emperor was a little disapproving, he didn't open his mouth to stop her, and today's incident made him very jealous of the eldest princess Fuyun.
The Queen Mother scolded happily, and felt that the breath that had been pressed in her heart just now finally came out, so she changed the topic, "Although Ding Gang and Sun Zhong have both been to see it, Qi Chenjing's kid is scheming, the last time the matter of Macheng Mansion was not that he played tricks, this time we must definitely keep an eye on King An's Mansion." β
The emperor nodded, "I only give them five days, they must find a way to hire a famous doctor for him, I have already sent someone to keep an eye on King An's mansion, and I will definitely not let the doctor enter the mansion." β
The Queen Mother frowned, "I'm afraid this is not enough, I have to find a way to order Xiuhong's side to let her increase the dosage of medicine, and I must not let Qi Chenjing live until the day of the sacrifice." β
Only in this way can you completely put your mind at ease.
Qi Chenjing swallowed his breath before sacrificing to the temple, that is, his own name is not good, and it doesn't matter what Taizu and the emperor are angry.
The emperor did not refute the queen mother's opinion this time.
Just when the whole capital was speculating whether King An could recover within five days and sacrifice to the temple, Kang Yan, who was far away in Macheng Mansion, didn't know anything about it, and she was busy planning to go to Tongzhou to buy an industry.
She first arranged for Shopkeeper Li to take Zhao Cheng into Beijing, and then asked Shopkeeper Song to take someone to Tongzhou, but she didn't expect Shopkeeper Song to come back in less than a month, and brought back a news that surprised her. r1152
