Chapter 26 Night Fall City, Quan Qingcheng
The Hall of Immortals is the residence of the emperors of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Emperor Daxing died, and the palace people had cleared out all the things used by Emperor Daxing in the palace, leaving only an empty hall and quietly waiting for the new master.
Yunchen and Wu Fu stood outside the hall, silently staring at the closed hall door. The fourth lady of the night family and the seventh highness have been in for a while, and they have retired all the palace people, and no one knows how the diseases inside are cured, let alone what method is used to cure them.
Wu was a little worried, and asked Yun Chen in a low voice: "Is it really safe?" His Royal Highness the Seventh has never spoken since birth, what method did Miss Night Fourth use to make the dumb person speak? Unless this is done by the emperor and his old man, it is impossible at all! ”
Yun Chen sighed lightly and shook his head, "I don't know why the old man of Emperor Zun designated Miss Yesi to do this, but since Emperor Zun specially invited people into the palace and personally said this, then there must be a reason for him." No one can trust the emperor, so from this point of view, this matter is still very safe. He glanced at Wu Wei and reminded kindly, "Fourth Miss Fang saved you in front of the queen, but my father-in-law owes Miss Fourth a great favor!" ”
Wu Wei nodded again and again, "Yes, Da En is not grateful, in the future, if Miss Fourth has an order, the slave will definitely not hesitate." ”
Behind him, a sobbing came. The two turned around and saw Concubine Yu from the harem walking this way.
Concubine Yu is thirty-four years old at Chinese New Year's Eve and is the biological mother of the Seventh Prince. She has a very good relationship with Emperor Daxing, not only gave birth to the last prince, but Emperor Daxing has been in poor health for so many years, and she has taken care of her at the couch.
It can be said that in the last two years of Emperor Daxing, there was only one woman by his side, Concubine Yu.
In fact, she should have been promoted to a concubine a long time ago, after all, she has a prince by her side. But because the Seventh Prince was a mute, she felt sorry for the royal family, so she mentioned the matter of Concubine Jin several times, but she refused.
Wu Wei was very respectful of this concubine Yu, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly bent down and saluted.
Yun Chen also saluted, and took the initiative to say, "The Seventh Highness is already in the Immortal Palace. ”
Concubine Yu wiped a handful of tears and asked Yun Chen puzzledly: "Why did the emperor let Cheng'er succeed to the throne?" He was only sixteen years old, and he was still mute. Speaking of this, he looked at the main hall in front of him, "They said that Miss Yan of the Yipin General's Mansion is treating Cheng'er, can she cure it well?" Is his throat really sick? ”
Concubine Yu's face was very bad, she was already crying very sadly because of the emperor's death, and now thinking about her son's dumbness, her heart is even more uncomfortable.
She always remembered the past, remembering the time when her son was born, and she cried very loudly. When he was about a year old, he grabbed the small object sent by the emperor and called Daddy, which was clear and clear, and the voice was very good.
But then somehow I became dumb, and for more than ten years, I never spoke again.
Everyone said that the Seventh Prince was born mute, but only she knew that her son was not born mute, and it was very likely that he was killed. But this can't be said, and this matter can't be investigated, the emperor is in fashion and can't keep their mother and son safe, and now that the backer is gone, she has to swallow this matter in her stomach.
Yun Chen looked at Concubine Yu for a while, and replied: "Whether it is a disease or not, the emperor said that it can be cured, and that is curable." Northern Qi is young and not long, this is the rule, the seventh highness is the youngest prince, and he should inherit the throne of the emperor. ”
"But ......"
"No, but." Yun Chen interrupted her, "Concubine Yu, the minister repeats it, this is the emperor's decision!" ”
Concubine Yu stopped talking, yes, the emperor's decision, the emperor's words are the holy decree, the emperor's words are the heavenly decree, the heavenly decree is something that even the emperor can't resist, what else does she have to say?
Wu Wei persuaded: "Niangniang, although the succession of the Seventh Highness to the throne is beyond your expectations, but everything is better, since the emperor wants the Seventh Highness to succeed to the throne, then he is bound to heal the throat of the Seventh Highness." Let's wait a little longer, and when His Highness Seventh comes out of the Immortal Palace, he will be able to speak. Aren't you looking forward to it? ”
In the east side of the Immortal Palace, Ye Wenyan sat on the chair, looking at the Seven Princes opposite in a daze, and was in a trance for a while.
In her previous life, she had a cousin who looked like this. Pianpian young man, kind and sincere, with a pair of peach blossom eyes embedded in his delicate and fair face, the corners of his lips are upturned, and he will have a clean smile.
It was the child of her third uncle's family, who liked to follow her since she was a child, and she could not listen to her parents, but she would definitely listen to her cousin. Because he was born white and pure like a little girl, the third aunt jokingly named him Yeli City.
When Nightfall grew up, he had a lot of opinions about his name, but his mother was too strong, and several thoughts of changing his name were suppressed.
On the night of the destruction of the night house, the first shot shot at her was blocked by the night of the city. Before dying, the child pushed her away and told her to go quickly, don't think about revenge, run as far as you want.
But where can she run? If the Xuanmai Ye family is going to be destroyed, even if she runs to the ends of the earth, she can't escape.
With her thoughts retracted, she looked at the young man in front of her and asked, "Do you know who I am?" ”
The boy nodded, and although he couldn't speak, he could hear the voice.
Ye Wenyan also nodded, "As long as you know, then I won't introduce myself." ”
The Seventh Prince was obviously a little nervous, and tried to grab her hand, but in the end he only grabbed the sleeve.
Ye Wenyan smiled, "I know your intentions, don't worry, I will cure you." But it only heals you so that you can speak, and you have to figure out for yourself what to do in the future. ”
The boy nodded again.
She continued: "I don't know if the emperor was right or wrong for him to put you on the throne, but you are the prince, and from the day you were born, you have to prepare for the possibility of one day succeeding to the throne. So it's your life, and you deserve it. ”
She raised her hand and gently put it on his throat, "You are not born dumb, you are disabled by an acquired external force. I don't know who did this to you, but fortunately, you're just dumb, not deaf. Dumbness does not affect hearing, but deafness affects speech. If it was your ears that were damaged at the beginning, then even if I restore your hearing today, your speech function is still a problem. ”
The hand that was on the throat slowly moved up and fell to the eye, "Shut it!" When you open your eyes again, you can speak. If you're bored right now, think about what the first thing you would say to me would be later. ”
The Seventh Prince closed her eyes obediently, she spread out her palm, and the plum in her palm shattered, turning into white light and burrowing into the throat of the Seventh Prince.
After a short moment, her voice sounded again: "Alright." ”
All right?
The Seventh Prince opened his eyes with a look of surprise. I tried to make a sound, but I could only babble because I was nervous.
She smiled and told him, "Don't be afraid, although you haven't spoken, you can hear all voices since you were a child." What you hear others say, you say too. ”
The Seventh Prince pondered for a while, then spoke again and called her, "Sister." ”
Ye Wenyan was suddenly stunned, and looked at the young man over and over again, "I thought you would say thank you, but I didn't expect you to call me sister." Your Royal Highness the Seventh, Gonggong Wu said, you are sixteen years old this year, and I am only fifteen, so you can't call me sister. ”
"But I just think you're a sister, and I think you're actually much older than me, and you can teach me a lot of truths." The Seventh Prince has his own thoughts, "If you think it's inappropriate, then I'll call it in private, don't refuse." ”
She was helpless, "Whatever you want!" Your Highness the Seventh, are you called Quan Qingcheng? ”
"Yes!" He said these three words seriously, "Quan Qingcheng, Qingtian Qing, the city of the city wall." ”
"Qingcheng?" Suddenly her nose was sour, and she suddenly laughed, she took the young man's hand, "Qingcheng, it's really good, your name is Qingcheng, it's really good." ”
The Seventh Prince was puzzled, "Why?" Does the name have any special significance? Sister, you seem to be crying, but why are your hands so cold? Why is your face so white? Sister, are you sick? ”
She shook her head, "No, my sister isn't sick, it's just snowing outside all the time, freezing." ”
"Then let's sit by the stove and get warmer." He pulled Ye Wenyan to move the chair, closer to the charcoal stove, and then said, "Sister, do you say that I will do this emperor?" ”
Ye Wenyan looked at him for a while, and sighed softly, "Qingcheng, you have no choice. ”
"Do you want me to do it or do you want me not to do it?"
She sighed again, "I don't have a choice, this is your royal business, I'm just a courtier, it's not my turn to have the final say in this kind of thing." Besides, I don't know what other princes are like, I don't know if they are good or bad, and whether they are suitable to inherit the throne. ”
After thinking about it again, he added: "But your sixth brother can't do it, that person has an enmity with me, and I can't let him get good by saying anything." ”
Quan Qingcheng smiled, "Sister, your character is really interesting, I heard that the fourth lady of the Ye family is very powerful before, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”
She waved her hand, "Okay, don't talk about the past, get on fire." ”
"Then don't mention it." Quan Qingcheng was very obedient, "Sister, I heard that you got married yesterday, but my sixth brother ......."
"Don't mention it, it's even more hot." She was so bad, she originally called her sister, she still thought that this kid had a very sweet mouth and was very good at coaxing people, why didn't she open any pot in a blink of an eye? She warned, "Remember, it was my cousin who married your sixth brother with night red makeup, but it wasn't me who said it at night, and I have nothing to do with your sixth brother." ”
She patted Quan Qingcheng, "Okay, stand up, adjust your emotions, it's waiting for you outside!" There is another thing that you must keep in mind, how I treated you for this disease, don't mention a word, if someone must ask, you will push it on Yun Chen, and say that it is Qin Tianjian who does not let you say it, and it will ruin the fortune of the country. Remember? ”
Quan Qingcheng nodded, "Remember." ”
"Also, don't say that someone has disabled you, you have to learn to protect yourself, and one day when you are full-fledged, how to settle accounts and how to settle accounts, understand."
Quan Qingcheng nodded again, "Understood!" ”
"Okay, let's go!" She looked out the window, and the heavy window paper couldn't block the bright morning light.
The sky is about to dawn, and from this moment on, the Northern Qi Kingdom will usher in a new generation of emperors!
