Chapter 117: A Change of One Man
The second prince rushed out of the downwind shop, rushed straight onto the horse, and reined in the horse and turned around four or five times.
Seeing that his face was pale and his expression was extremely wrong, the guards hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed the horse, "Second master, do you want to go back to the palace?" ”
"Back." The second prince replied indiscriminately, shaking the reins, and rushing straight up to the downwind shop.
Seeing that he was obviously delirious, the guards grabbed the reins, mounted their horses, and walked close to the side of the second prince, leading the second prince's horse forward.
The rest of the guards were all around, in case the second prince fell off the horse while sitting on the horse.
The little servants cleared a road on the periphery, and everyone was scared, escorted the second prince, and went straight back to the palace.
The second prince dismounted outside the Donghua Gate, was surrounded by guards in the middle, entered the palace gate in a daze, and looked up at the glorious and majestic palace in front of him.
The golden sunset shone on the same golden glazed tiles, and the golden light pierced into the eyes of the second prince, waking him up from the nightmare.
The second prince pushed away the servants and went straight to the Chuifu Palace.
rushed to the gate of the Chuifu Palace in one breath, and the second prince looked at the four big characters of knowing blessings and cherishing blessings on the gold and red background on the plaque at the palace gate, as if he was pierced, his eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously took a step back.
The second prince raised his head again and stared blankly at the four gilded characters.
Knowing the blessing, cherishing the blessing, whose blessing?
The old chamberlain standing at the gate of the Chuifu Palace looked at the second prince with a pale face and lost his soul, and stared at the plaque as if he had lost his soul, and greeted cautiously: "Second master? ”
The second prince didn't hear it at all.
The old chamberlain was even more frightened, and was about to take a step forward, when he shouted again, when the second prince suddenly stepped forward, brushed him, and rushed straight in.
"Second master! The second master is here! The two old chamberlains were startled, and hurriedly raised their voices and passed in.
The second prince rushed straight into the east side hall where the emperor lived daily.
In the east hall, the emperor was crooked on the couch, looking at the decoction in his hand with great annoyance, and Concubine Shen Xian sat sideways next to him, holding a small plate of candied fruit.
The second prince rushed straight in, and the emperor and Concubine Shen Xian were startled.
"What's wrong with you? What's wrong? The emperor scolded angrily, looked at the pale face of the second prince, stared at his eyes, and immediately asked with concern.
"Who gave birth to me? Which of them is it? Did you really kill them all? Mine," the second prince choked violently, "Biological mother, my brothers and sisters, I...... How many people did you kill? And you! ”
The emperor's eyes widened, his hand shook, and the soup bowl smashed on his leg.
Shen Niangniang's face was snow-white, staring straight at the second prince, stiffening there.
"You guys, really?
No wonder, you're so afraid of ghosts, how can you do it? You! You guys! How many people did you kill? Six? Five kids? Don't you spare even your own flesh and bones? You ......" The second prince fell to his knees and howled loudly.
"Bastard thing!" The emperor picked up the medicine bowl that was buckled on his lap and smashed it on the head of the second prince.
"Your Majesty!" Shen Niangniang pounced on the bowl, and the dish in her hand slammed to the ground.
The medicine bowl smashed on the forehead of the second prince, and the second prince leaned back and pounced forward, "How did they die?" Stoned? You butcher! You guys! Demon! How can you be so ruthless and do it?
So many people!
Those girls, so from people! You can even do it to your own children! How can you do it! How can you do it! ”
The second prince fell to the ground, pounded the ground with his hands, and wailed.
"Get out!" The emperor's face was pale.
"Carry him to the wing, the second master hit the guest, light benzoin, and let him sleep for a while." Concubine Shen Xian hurriedly commanded.
The female envoy standing in the hall hurriedly stepped forward, trembling all over her body to set up the second prince, and dragged her out hard.
They're afraid they won't survive.
"Check it out! Who told him! Check it out! Go kill me ......"
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Shen Xian hurriedly interrupted the emperor's anger, and her voice was fierce, "Don't kill anymore, don't kill anymore!" That's enough! That's enough! He already knows, kill again, he also knows, don't kill anymore! ”
Concubine Shen Xian was in a hurry, choked in one breath, and couldn't get up with a cough.
The emperor's anger was intercepted by Concubine Shen Xian, and one hand pressed Shen Xianfei's back hard, the anger was blocked between her chest and throat, so blocked that she couldn't speak, and she only tried her best to pump that breath up.
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Shen Xian coughed violently, looked up at the emperor with a pale face, and exclaimed.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, threw himself forward, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Come on, call the doctor! Fast! Concubine Shen Xian screamed.
……………………
Li Sangrou sat behind the Shunfeng Express shop, looking at the imperial city on the other side of the river, watching the sun go down and the moon rising.
The shop was pushed away, and Li Sangrou turned her head to look behind her.
Gu Xi strode into the meteor and rushed in.
Li Sangrou sat still and didn't move.
"What's going on with the second one?" Gu Xi stood in front of Li Sangrou and asked.
"What's going on?" Li Sangrou looked up at Gu Xi and asked rhetorically.
"It's like being evil, saying that he went out of you is like being evil, Ah Yue said that the second child came to you to see the ghost? What the hell did he see? Gu Xi couldn't believe it.
The second child does seem to have fallen into an evil ghost, but he is the prince, the future king, the hidden dragon! All evils do not invade, what ghost can make him evil like that?
It's the same joke!
Li Sangrou looked at Gu Xi and didn't speak.
"What the hell is going on? This is no small matter! Gu Xi's face turned blue.
"Don't you really know?" Li Sangrou's eyes narrowed slightly.
"What do I know? What the hell did you poke out? Gu Xi wrinkled his eyebrows tightly and rubbed his temples irritably.
The palace was already in chaos, the emperor woke up from time to time, Concubine Shen Xian's face was gray, she didn't say a word, the second child lost her soul, and she didn't say a word, she just kept stumbling on the ground, and her forehead was bruised and oozing blood.
"Sit down and talk, you're too tall, it's too tiring to look at you talking like this." Li Sangrou pointed to the chair next to her.
Gu Xi brought a chair over and sat next to Li Sangrou.
"Before Empress Xianzhang married into the palace of Jinglongmen, it should be before Prince Lao Rui ordered the Zhang family and the Wen family to the emperor and your father, Shen Niangniang was pregnant with a fetus, seven or eight months, in order to marry the Zhang family, the child that Shen Niangniang was pregnant with was pushed down."
"I know this, it's not pushed down, it's a miscarriage." Gu Xi looked at Li Sangrou, and his heart lifted slightly.
Her start is extremely unusual.
"Miscarriage, well, it is indeed a miscarriage.
When Empress Xianzhang married into the Qiandi, Shen Niangniang was still ill and unlucky, so she moved to Zhuangzi outside Yangwu County.
As soon as she moved to Zhuangzi, Shen Niangniang asked for medical advice and found a medicine woman surnamed Shi in Yangwu County, Shi Yaopo is not surnamed Shi, she has never married in her life, and they all say that she is a stone girl, so she is called Shi Yaopo.
Shi Yaopo is very good at pharmacology, especially good at treating gynecology, and the lower body is swollen.
The eight-month-old fetus was pushed down by force, and Shen Niangniang's lower body was naturally swollen and rotten, and she was seriously injured.
Shi Yaopo lived in that imperial village for a month, and gave Shen Niangniang a fumigation bath every day, and a month later, seeing that it was obviously good, Shi Yaopo left the prescription and left Zhuangzi.
Two days later, Shi Yaopo drowned in a small puddle outside the city. ”
Li Sangrou's words paused and sighed.
Gu Xi pursed her lips tightly, looked at Li Sangrou, and waited for her to continue.
"A year or two before the emperor ascended the throne, he once went south, from Yangzhou to the west, and then to the north, and went out to inspect once.
It's all on file, right? You can find it, I can't.
On this inspection, he brought back six scholarly families, all of whom had excellent academic character, and a smart and beautiful little lady brought them into the imperial village outside Yangwu County. ”
Gu Xi's eyes widened.
"There is a scholar from Jiangdu County who is good at painting pictures of ladies in Beijing, he said that he painted pictures of ladies because his sister disappeared and did not know whether she was alive or dead, and he learned to paint in order to draw his sister so that he could find his sister.
His sister is one of them, the first little lady who was taken away by the emperor that year. ”
Gu Xi stared straight at Li Sangrou.
He knew that Wen Cheng had told him about the picture of the lady drawn by the scholar: Li Da took a fancy to the picture of the lady drawn by others!
She was checking it out at that time? How did she know? Who is she?
"The six little ladies should be pregnant, and when they were in labor, they invited six stable women from Yangwu County, of course, after these six stable women left the Huangzhuang, they all died like this and that.
How do I know?
But if you do it, there will be traces, and I have found these traces, and as for which traces, I can't tell you, but if I tell you, maybe they will die again, and I can't be sorry for them.
I've been paying attention to this for a long time, so why would I be paying attention to such a thing?
is because, that Zhanlu, her master raised her in order to kill Sun Zhou.
In Anqing Mansion, a little lady also disappeared, who disappeared when Sun Zhou's wife was a guest at a banquet, and Sun Zhou and his wife came forward and said that the little lady eloped with his nephew.
This excuse is too stupid and unchecked, so the Ye family decided that Sun Zhou and his wife killed the little lady, and planned to kill Sun Zhou and his wife to take revenge.
I watched it carefully for a while, and I didn't think it was like Sun Zhou and his wife.
Because Sun Zhou is cautious and meticulous, he is extremely strict with himself, and he is not a person who sees a beautiful woman, and he is completely impulsive and rational.
I wondered about this matter, what kind of person could make people like Sun Zhou and his wife become Fu Yin back then, and now they are sitting in the position of Shangshu, such a couple took the initiative to come forward and inherit such an ugly thing with endless troubles.
Who is the person who can drive Sun Zhou and his wife to be happy?
I began to pay attention to this matter, and later, at that literary meeting, I saw the scholar's sister, and the scholar's painting of the sister was excellent, full of form and spirit, and vivid.
The two little ladies in Jiangdu County and Anqing Mansion look very similar. ”
Li Sangrou sighed.
Later, I entered the palace and met Shen Niangniang, and when I saw Shen Niangniang, I seemed to see the two little ladies who were twenty years old.
Originally, I had already put this matter out of the clouds, and it was not something I should talk about and worry about, and it had nothing to do with me.
However, the golden retriever died, and the Liu family was destroyed. ”
"You've been out for more than two months just to find out about it?" Gu Xi looked at Li Sangrou in disbelief.
"Yes." Li Sangrou simply nodded.
Gu Xi raised his hand to cover his face, and for a moment, he looked up at Li Sangrou, "Then what's next?" What are you doing? ”
"Your eldest brother is just lame, it's not that he can't be the emperor.
He is the emperor, Qi Guo, the imminent war, and you, it's better, right?
He must want to be this emperor too, and you want him to be this emperor too, don't you?
If the second master becomes the emperor, you and your eldest brother will be irritable every day against the second master, an emperor who can't figure out everything and has a soft heart like a puddle of mud.
After your eldest brother becomes the emperor, I will kill Shen He's father and son, kill people for no reason, and get my life. ”
"You're asking me for pay? You have caused such a big disaster, do you still think that you can be paid for what you have done? Gu Xi glared at Li Sangrou, and he didn't know what expression to come up with.
"I did something that benefited the country and you, and I just wanted a little justice." Li Sangrou looked at Gu Xi with a smile.
Gu Xi looked at Li Sangrou, was silent for a long time, and leaned forward, "What you did, to put it mildly, is also spying on the royal family, do you know what the crime of spying on the royal family is?" What should I do? ”
Li Sangrou looked at Gu Xi and spread her hands with a smile.
"When you disappeared suddenly, my eldest brother was very worried, and I was also very worried, you really made a big incident." Gu Xi spoke and stood up.
Li Sangrou didn't move, looking up at Gu Xi, who was looking down at her.
Gu Xi looked down at her, and for a moment, let out a long sigh, turned around and left.
……………………
In the night, the Trifu Palace finally quieted down from the panic and chaos.
The emperor was half-seated and half-lying on the warm couch, looked at Concubine Shen Xian, who was sitting sideways next to him, and raised his finger, "Let them all stand down, let's talk." ”
"Hmm." Concubine Shen Xian raised her hand and retreated from the maids.
"You don't have a good complexion. Alas, you should not stop me, and do not be afraid to kill. "The emperor's breath is weak.
"I killed too much, don't kill again, back then, it was a last resort, now, don't kill anymore, can't kill anymore.
Besides, what's the use of killing? Concubine Shen Xian sighed lowly. The temperament of the second child, you know best, is sentimental, can't bear anything, and has been like that since childhood. Now he knows. ”
Concubine Shen Xian's words paused, and she sighed again, "Don't talk about his temper, it's me, when I knew the origin of the second child, I didn't dare to hug him or look at him." Concubine Shen Xian's voice trembled slightly.
The emperor snorted coldly.
"Forget it. Originally, his temper was not suitable. Concubine Shen Xian's voice was low.
"I promised you, I promised your father, I ......"
"Your Majesty." Concubine Shen Xian grabbed the emperor's hand and interrupted the emperor's words, "The emperor still remembers, when the second brother left, I was seriously ill, and then the eldest brother, the fifth brother, until the third brother left, I was already ......"
Concubine Shen Xian's throat choked slightly, "Later, that child was pushed down, in fact, when I was pushed down, I felt quite relaxed."
When I was pregnant with a child, I always had nightmares about the child running and jumping and laughing, and then he died in my arms in the blink of an eye, which was heartbreaking. ”
Concubine Shen Xian's words choked slightly, "I really don't want to have another time."
Later, without that child, I was really relaxed and comfortable in those years, and I thought, this is the best.
In the future, except for the emperor, there will be no one who will worry me about my heart, and I will never worry about my heart and heart again.
In the future, I will follow the emperor and wait for the emperor with peace of mind, which is the best. ”
"Alas, but I'm sick, I'm leaving, and I can't stay up for long." The emperor held Concubine Shen Xian's hand, and his heart ached unbearably.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine.
The second child is soft-hearted and affectionate, no matter what, he was raised by me, and the love is here, he won't treat me badly.
Boss, as you said, it's a rare one, and it's all very good. Concubine Shen Xian smiled. Back then, how difficult it was for us.
I remember you told me once, you said, "If we can live until we want to live, we can live in peace, even if it is only for a year or two, you will be content."
Now, we live in peace, and after more than 20 years, I am very content. ”
"Ugh." The emperor sighed, closed his eyes and leaned back into the pillow, two tears slowly flowed down.
……………………
Throughout October, from the palace city to the imperial city, it was extremely depressing, and the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
Li Sangrou goes back and forth between the fried rice alley and the shop every day, sitting quietly in her courier shop, making tea and drinking tea, settling accounts, and patiently waiting for the changes in that palace city.
……………………
In mid-November, the proclamation concerning the emperor's illness and the decree of the crown prince were issued on the same day.
Pan Dingjiang personally rushed to the Dongjia newspaper office, looked at the typesetting, watched it be printed immediately, and then rushed to the Shunfeng Express Shop, and watched it be delivered quickly.
This extremely special newspaper should be sent out immediately and delivered to all parts of Daqi in the fastest way.
The emperor's illness is getting worse and worse.
The early dynasty has been abolished from time to time, to intermittently, and recently it is almost no longer an early dynasty, and all the people in the imperial city, from the early dynasty, have already known about the emperor's illness.
Lichu has thought of it a long time ago.
But this prince is not the second master, but the disabled uncle!
No one thought of this.
Lichu, this thing that was originally expected by everyone, when the will came out, it became the most unexpected thing.
