Chapter XXVI: Intrigue and Intriguery
It has been more than a month since the crown prince was grounded, but Emperor Wei has no intention of issuing an order to release him, and Queen Yu is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Fenglai Palace, there is no sound in the hall, there is a faint fragrance floating in the air, that is the smell of agarwood, which can calm people's minds. A maidservant dressed in a pale green palace dress, holding a cup of tea in both hands, walked in cautiously and placed the tea on the table in the queen's hand.
Since the crown prince was grounded, the queen was restless every day, and she did not sleep peacefully at night, and was often awakened by nightmares, and the situation has become more and more serious in recent days.
Queen Yu raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and there was a muffled sound of "bang", which was the sound of the tea cup falling into the ground and shattering. The little palace maid was so frightened that she didn't care about the broken porcelain all over the ground, so she immediately knelt down and asked for forgiveness: "Niangniang spare her life!" Mother's life! ”
The bright red liquid overflowed, staining her pants a little scarlet, like a red plum blooming in winter. Queen Yu was already unhappy, and being troubled like this made her feel even more bored, and she stretched out her hand to the palace maid's face and slapped her. The palace maid stretched out her hand to cover her swollen face, tears couldn't help but fall, and she was still begging for mercy.
Queen Yu's face was full of impatience, and she gestured to the grandmother beside her, her thin lips opened and closed, and she ruthlessly spit out two words: "Kill with a cane." ”
Silence returned to the hall, and she looked intently at the woman in the bronze mirror. With meticulous makeup and a graceful and luxurious temperament, it seems that she was born to be a person who came for the back position. What can be started with Emperor Wei never coming to her palace again, and even pretending to be perfunctory? The woman in the bronze mirror laughed self-deprecatingly.
She summoned the most trustworthy grandmother and commanded in a low voice: "Go find a trustworthy palace person and send a message to Master Yu for me, quickly." ”
But in an hour, Yu Taishi hurriedly entered the palace, with beads of sweat on his forehead. The palace maid in the hall had already withdrawn from the hall, and now there were only two of them, and there was no need to see him, only to see him sitting on a chair, picking up the teacup and taking a big sip, before asking: "What are you looking for me in such a hurry?" ”
"Yin'er has been locked up for a month, so you haven't figured out a way?"
"Well, don't be impatient! This matter has to be planned slowly, and there is no hurry. "Yu Taishi is less than seven feet tall, with a big belly, a shiny face, and a small goat's whisker.
Seeing that it was all burning her buttocks, Yu Taishi still looked unimpatient, and the queen looked a little angry, and her voice unconsciously raised: "When is this!" For today's plan, we must first rescue Yin'er. ”
"He was just confined in his own palace, and he was not deposed. You don't need to be in such a hurry. ”
"Which dynasty have you ever seen the crown prince of a dynasty who was confined and still safe and sound?"
"This..."
Queen Yu frowned and urged: "Hurry up and think of a way." Do you know that the emperor has issued a holy decree to summon the seven princes who are far away in the mountain city. ”
When it comes to the Seventh Prince Song Yong, Yu Taishi looks disdainful, a waste with no background and no strength, what's so scary? "That waste, even if it comes back, what will it do?"
"This shows that the emperor has a heart..."Queen Yu wanted to speak and stopped.
"Sister, you're thinking too much. Now that the five princes can still compete with Yin'er for one or two, what are you panicking about, don't mess up by yourself. Yu Taishi stroked his short beard, and then said: "This Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, the emperor will not release Yin'er for a reunion, right?" ”
"Yin'er is about to get sick." Yesterday, she received a letter from Song Yin secretly, begging the queen to find a way to release him, trapped in Lingxiao Palace every day, he said he couldn't stand it.
"You! It's just that he spoils him too much, and everything is up to him. Now that this has happened, it is better for you to let him stay in the palace well, so as not to come out and do anything wrong. ”
Taishi Yu was about to say goodbye, but seeing that Queen Yu was still worried, he said: "I have a plan, but I don't know if you are reluctant." ”
When the queen heard him say this, a glimmer of hope rose in her heart, and she said hurriedly: "What are you talking about, for Yin'er, what else am I reluctant to do?" ”
Yu Taishi looked at the deep and shallow fine lines on his sister's face, even if he applied grease and powder, he couldn't cover it. I only heard him ask: "Your Majesty, but I haven't been here with you for a long time, have you?" ”
A deep sadness flashed in Queen Yu's eyes, and she nodded dejectedly. I have long been old and decrepit, and the most important thing in this palace is the delicate new face, if it weren't for the mother's family as a backer and winning this back position in hand, I'm afraid there would be no place for her in this palace.
"We don't even have a person to blow the wind on our pillows now, don't you have any ideas?" Yu Taishi looked like he was in his chest, and he obviously had a countermeasure.
"If you have a way, you can say it quickly, why bother to detour with me."
Yu Taishi said: "Introducing my daughter to the palace can also help you." ”
"Yu'er? Are you really willing to send your flowery daughter to the palace? Queen Yu was very surprised, this jade is his daughter-in-law, twenty-eight years old, and she can be regarded as a beautiful woman with a small jasper, and she is willing to push her into the fire pit and marry an old man who is about to die?
"Sister, I'm talking about Yu'er." Yu Taishi shook his head again and again.
"And what are you talking about?"
Yu Taishi replied: "I am naturally reluctant to let this Yu'er be my concubine, but I also have several concubines and concubines, and they are naturally willing." I'll bring them with me, and you can pick one of them. ”
There was a look of hesitation on the queen's face, "This... Are they willing? ”
Master Yu disagreed, thinking that I can't handle my daughter? And this is not a matter of going up the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire. "Don't worry, it's on me."
Seeing that the queen nodded, Yu Taishi immediately went out of the palace to arrange the matter.
On the prince's side, the confinement for several days did not make him self-cultivation, but became more and more irritable. He paced back and forth in front of the gate of Lingxiao Palace, and the black-clothed guards with knives stood in a row in front of the door, bowed and said in unison: "Please return to the palace with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
I only heard the prince shout angrily: "Get out of here!" How dare you stop me? ”
The head of the guards didn't dare to offend him severely, so he had to respectfully move the emperor out: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to embarrass us, we are just acting on the orders of the emperor." ”
The prince snorted coldly, then turned back and walked towards the dormitory, and the attendants around him immediately followed. He is a dignified prince, but he was actually confined in his own palace, and today's tragic situation is all caused by Song Jin and Shen Yan! His eyebrows were dark, and he raised his hand to summon his personal attendant, whispered in a low voice, and the attendant took the order and left.
He stared at the back of the departing attendant, and coldly spat out a few words in his mouth: "These are all self-inflicted!" ”
