Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Dust Settles the Thoughts of the Kings
Peng's family was still by Peng Mo's side, with a sad face, why did he just get better and repeat it again?
"Mother. Peng Hao walked in and called softly.
"Where are you going to play crazy? Your sister is sick and you're not there?" Peng Shi looked back and saw Peng Hao, suppressed the tears in the corners of his eyes and frowned slightly, this day Peng Mo's condition was repeated, and she was extremely helpless, but her only son who was by her side was nowhere to be seen.
In addition to Peng Hao and Zhang Ji, Peng Hao did not tell the rest of the people who sued Sun Wencai, and now listening to Peng's words, Peng Hao said apologetically: "The son is wrong, the mother is angry, it's just... How's my sister doing now?"
Peng looked at his daughter on the bed again, pressed the corners of his eyes, and said, "I fell asleep after taking the medicine, and the doctor couldn't say why when he came to see it, so he just let him recuperate." ”
How can it be recuperation again? How long has this been recuperation? Peng Hao's face was not very good when he heard this, and he took a few steps forward and saw his sister's pale face, and he was very distressed, if he could, he would rather be sick himself.
In this Chenwang Mansion, Jin Xiuchen's condition is not very good, Qi Xin was in the room, hesitating whether to decoct medicine for His Highness, when he heard a few subtle whispers from the bed.
"Peng Mo, Peng Mo... Waiting for me.... "Intermittent, finely fragmented, with a sense of sadness.
Qi Xin was stunned when he listened, Peng Mo, the fourth lady of the Peng family, Today, His Royal Highness also went to the General's Mansion to visit Peng Mo before he had a headache, could it be that His Royal Highness's illness is related to Peng Mo?
"Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up. Qi Xin called softly in Jin Xiuchen's ear.
Jin Xiuchen opened his eyes violently when he heard the voice, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was obviously a little frightened, and when he saw Qi Xin standing, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but think, what kind of dream did he have just had?
Qi Xin watched and helped him sit up, and brought him tea.
Jin Xiuchen sobered up a little after drinking tea, pressed his head, which was still aching, and asked, "What time is it?"
Qi Xin replied: "Back to Your Highness, the time is over." ”
"What happened in this king's sleep?" Jin Xiuchen's sober mind returned to his mind, and he didn't know if those people handled the matter smoothly.
Qi Xin said: "Your illness is urgent and fierce, and your subordinates dare not be negligent, so you invited the imperial doctor to come, and the emperor's father-in-law Su also came." ”
Looking at Jin Xiuchen nodded, he said: "The matter of King Jin's shop was testified by Sun Wencai and wrote down the testimony, and it was handed to the emperor by Jing Zhaoyin's hand, and the emperor sent a fire after knowing it, and also gave a punishment, Concubine Shu thought about it for a year, and King Jin was fined for three years and suspended for one year. ”
Jin Xiuchen listened silently, and was quite satisfied with the result of Jin Rui's disposal, and asked after a while: "Can the tail be cleaned up?"
Qi Xin nodded, and Jin Xiuchen asked again, "How is the situation in the General's Mansion?" She left suddenly, I don't know how she wants to feel? Her light temperament should feel indifferent, right?
Qi Xin quietly glanced at Jin Xiuchen and said, "Is His Highness asking Miss Peng Si?"
Jin Xiuchen glanced at Qi Xin lightly, Qi Xin was stunned, and said busily: "Sun Wencai's family was robbed, and Peng Hao sent someone to track it down for a day, but we don't have any clues for him to trace, so don't worry." ”
Jin Xiuchen nodded, thinking that with Peng Hao's temperament, he might be surprised and curious about the mysterious forces that suddenly appeared in Kyoto, but it was impossible to say what he would do, after all, he was also happy to see the result of this Jin Rui.
Qi Xin then said: "Not long after His Royal Highness left, the Dr. Zhu who treated Miss Peng Si was invited to the General's Mansion again, perhaps... Miss Peng Si's condition has recurred.... "Because I stayed by Jin Xiuchen's side all day, I only listened to one or two words of feedback on the things outside, and I didn't ask in detail.
Is she sick? Jin Xiuchen frowned, the little girl is not still sharp and sharp during the day, and she can be angry when she speaks! Why is she sick again? Worry floated in her heart, and when she thought about it, she has her mother and brother to care for her, where her own care is rare? She is pitiful, and when she is sick, she can only be taken care of by her guards!
"What's the matter with King Guan Ben when you're sick?" Jin Xiuchen snorted lightly, and said indifferently, not knowing whether to tell it to himself or to Qi Xin, after speaking, he turned over and lay down again.
Qi Xin looked at Jin Xiuchen's back, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart: Your Highness, don't you really care? You even call other girls' names in your dreams!
"Really... Is it very sick?"
After a moment, Jin Xiuchen turned over again and looked at Qi Xin to ask tentatively.
Qi Xin's face was full of black lines, he was so hard just now, why did it change in this moment? But even if he was curious and disdainful of His Highness in his heart, he didn't dare to show it.
The jaw head replied respectfully: "It shouldn't be serious!" I was worried about Jin Xiuchen's condition all day long, and Qi Xin had no time to take care of the affairs in the mansion, let alone Peng Mo who was in the general's mansion?
Jin Xiuchen listened to the good-looking eyebrows together, his peach blossom eyes were shining, staring at Qi Xin and said softly: "Should... Yes?"
Qi Xin listened to this tone for a while, and said solemnly: "My subordinates will go and inquire immediately." ”
Jin Xiuchen glanced at him, got up and said, "No need, this king will go and see it himself." ”
Qi Xin asked the heavens speechlessly, Your Highness, are you still addicted to climbing over the wall and crossing the courtyard? Why are you not tired of it? And is it really good for you to visit the sick in the middle of the night? But I also know one thing in my heart, the matter of Peng Mo in the General's Mansion is more important than the matter in the palace, and we must always be familiar with it.
In the Mohe Garden, a candle was lit inside and outside Peng Mo's room, which was convenient for the lighting of Lian Feng and others when they investigated Peng Mo's situation at night.
The candlelight was powerless to illuminate the vast room, and the room was not very bright at this time, but a person could still be seen sitting in front of Peng Mo's bed!
The figure sat for a long time as he looked at the man on the bed before he got up and left, when the window creaked open, and he disappeared into the night.
The next day, just after the hour, the rain raged, and for a moment the whole of Kyoto was hazy in the rain!
In a teahouse in Kyoto, a private room, three people sit by the window, the sound of rain outside the window, the fragrance of tea in the room overflows, and even the earthy smell that pours into the room is dispelled.
The three of them are all extraordinary, finely dressed, and they are not ordinary people.
"The third brother is really confused, how to do such a thing, which made my father angry, and even we were hanged. The words were full of incomprehension and helplessness.
The person who spoke was about the age of standing, the body was slightly plump, the body was medium, wearing a dark red summer shirt, gold thread embroidery, wearing a gold crown, with a jade inscription on the thumb of his left hand and a wrench with gold edge, and his feet were decorated with white jade boots.
Thinking of the beating of several princes by his father and emperor in the last dynasty, Jin Sheng secretly blamed Jin Rui.
"But no, the third brother is really confused, he was punished by his father and the emperor now, but it really outweighs the loss!" The voice of the speaker was slightly immature, but it implied luck, looking like he was about twelve or thirteen years old, he was the fifth son of the emperor, Jin Zhan, His Royal Highness King Ning.
Although Jin Zhan is very different in age from several imperial brothers, children of ordinary families may still be practicing literature and martial arts when they are as old as him, but he was born in the royal family, and he has made his goals clear since he was a child, he is still young, although he has been crowned king, he has not yet been able to contact the affairs of the court, so he likes to follow several royal brothers, listen to them talk about different views in political affairs, listen to them guard against each other, and secretly learn in his heart, which also casts his mature mind than children of the same age.
The second son of the emperor, Jin Hao, His Royal Highness the King of Qu glanced at the fifth brother and lowered his eyes, this fifth brother he has never ignored, and now it seems that he knows more about him, ruthless!
"After all, he is the prince, and it will be fine when his father dissipates his anger. Jin Hao took a sip of tea and said softly.
He was already delicate, and he wore a bamboo leaf green shirt, and he only wore a thin green Fulu jade pendant around his waist, casual and elegant.
Who doesn't understand the purpose of Jin Rui's secret shop?
Who would have thought that Jin Rui, who had no idea about the throne on the surface, would secretly run dozens of prosperous shops, and then use the silver taels earned from the shops to bribe the courtiers?
There have also been cases of gold and silver scarcity in the palaces, and he is clever in this move, no wonder he never cries poor! But now he is discovered by his father, and the result is also tragic, and he is suspended for a year... It's been a year when Kyoto is going to be turned upside down!
However, Jin Rui is also smart, knowing that this matter is conclusive and the evidence is conclusive, he can't justify it, so he admitted his mistake early, and let his father make a penalty will; if he quibbles and delays for a few more hours, and allows these brothers to rush to the Qinzheng Palace, I am afraid that Jin Rui's punishment will be more than just a fine and a suspension.
Gongwang Jinsheng nodded, and agreed with the words of Quwang Jinhao, no matter how angry his father is, he is also his own child, and he can still be punished?
Ning Wang Jin Zhan looked at the two imperial brothers with a smile when he heard the words of the two, lowered his head to drink tea for a moment, and lowered his eyes to hide the sarcasm in his eyes.
Among the princes, the father's favorite is the emperor's eldest son Jin Sheng and the talented second son Jin Hao, as for the third son Jin Rui... If his father really cared, he wouldn't be crowned king at such an old age!
Now to say these things that are not salty or light! In fact, I obviously wish that the other party would die early! What a hypocrisy!
At the same time, in the palace, in the palace.
This palace is the place where all women dream of staying without him, because this palace is the residence of the queen, the lord of the six houses.
The queen of Dayong is about fifty years old, her skin is white and slightly thin, her appearance is average, the years have passed, Shaohua is not there, and she is even more inconspicuous in the palace where a hundred flowers gather, her family is also average, although her father Chengenhou is noble and has a marquis, but he is old and rarely involved in political affairs, so he has no real power, and his brother Wei Yingran is also born weak and unbearable.
But such a woman with an average appearance and background has sat on the throne of supreme glory, and the emperor has favored her for many years, and more importantly, the queen has no children for many years and only has a princess, but the emperor insists on not abolishing the queen, which makes all the concubines who have princes not jealous?
On a lacquered red carved round table, the emperor and queen sit on one side, and there are several breakfast dishes on the table, although the varieties are small but delicate and delicious.
"Your Majesty, you try this, the tricks just made in the imperial dining room, the concubines taste okay. ”
The queen sandwiched a piece of novel-looking pasta and put it on the emperor's plate, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, graceful and plain.
The emperor smiled when he heard this, took a sip, nodded, and said, "It's okay." ”
"Greetings to Princess Roujia. ”
A group of palace maids greeted outside the door, and before the sound fell, a fiery red figure ran in.
The queen has been in the palace for many years and has only one daughter, named Roujia, thirteen years old, and the fourth in the royal ranking.
When the queen heard the voice, she turned her head to look, and sure enough, when she saw her daughter's figure, her smile softened for a while.
