Chapter 170: Guilt
Zhengyang Palace.
Yun Chuhan was standing at the door of the main hall waiting.
The eunuch walked in: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down to ask for peace." ”
"In the past few days, he has been very busy in the palace. I obviously won't let him come to say goodbye. The emperor said.
Gonggong Xue said with a smile: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really filial. ”
The emperor smiled and nodded: "I know that he is filial." Let him in. ”
It was rumored that the eunuch walked out, and Yun Chuhan walked in.
"The son of the emperor to say goodbye, long live long live long live." Yun Chuhan knelt down.
"Get up, sit." The emperor's complexion looks much better.
"Thank you, Father." Yun Chuhan stood up, walked to the chair on the side and sat down.
"I heard that the Gu poison in Hao Yu's house is almost gone, is it true?" The emperor asked.
Yun Chuhan nodded and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, Haoyu will soon be able to enter the palace to greet his father." ”
"The Qiancang rain you said is really a master. It's just that I don't understand, why did he come all the way to the capital? "The emperor has some doubts about the identity of Qian Cangyu.
In order to dispel the emperor's concerns, what Yun Chuhan said could only be half-truthful.
"Father, Imperial Physician Chi and Thousand Sect Masters have known each other since childhood. Imperial Physician Chi said that when he was a child, he wandered around with his adoptive father and went to the Western Regions. There, he received the favor of the grandfather of the Thousand Sect Masters. After Chi Cheng settled down in the capital, he had a correspondence with the Thousand Sect Masters. This time, Imperial Physician Chi came to the rescue, firstly, to repay the kindness of the year, and secondly, to Haoyu. ”
Hearing Yun Chuhan say this, the emperor still had doubts: "Doesn't the Gu poison in Hao Yu have anything to do with him?" ”
"Father, the illusion has become a traitor, and a thousand cangs of rain will die for a lifetime. The Gu poison in Hao Yu was poisoned by his subordinates for a long time. It is speculated that Poison Jiu is a person from the Poison Bone Hall. Erchen was also worried that there would be any conspiracy in the Poison Bone Hall. Yun Chuhan was indeed worried, but he couldn't speak about that prince for the time being.
"You send someone to investigate this matter. Also, when that Hao Yu is ready, let that Qiancang rain enter the palace, and I want to meet him. The emperor said.
"That's right", the emperor remembered something, "You want to send the palace, and you are still grounded from Moxuan." I am very close to the prime minister's love for my daughter, and I have been on the fold for the past few days, begging me to let her out for the sake of her daughter's sincerity to you, and don't be grounded again. The prime minister said on the excerpt that Li Moxuan had already made a mistake. Moreover, the prime minister's wife has been sick in bed for a long time because she misses her daughter. ”
Hearing the three words Li Moxuan, Yun Chuhan frowned slightly: "Father, although Li Moxuan is grounded, her food and clothing are the same as before. After the palace was repatriated, Erchen still hoped to let her be grounded for some time. ”
The emperor glanced at Yun Chuhan and said earnestly: "I know that you don't like this kind of ruthless woman. However, this is also because she has you in her heart, so she will do such a foolish thing. She has been grounded for several days and has been punished. Lixiang has been conscientious all these years, and he will assist you in the future. You can't break the heart of the old minister because of a woman! ”
The emperor had already said so, and Yun Chuhan couldn't say anything more, so he had to agree.
"What my father taught. However, Li Moxuan can no longer be the side concubine of the son, so let her be a widow, so that she can teach her a long lesson. Yun Chuhan said.
The emperor nodded: "This is your family matter, you can decide for yourself." Alright, I'm tired, go and say hello to your mother. ”
Yun Chuhan stood up: "Yes, Father." Erchen retired first. ”
"Go, go, go." The emperor waved his hand.
Yun Chuhan walked out of Zhengyang Palace, and the sun was sprinkled on his face and body.
It's almost summer, and the crown princess is afraid of heat, Yun Chuhan thought to himself.
These days, Yun Chuhan and Lijiu respect each other like guests. She treated him neither warmly nor coldly.
Yun Chuhan is busy, and he doesn't often go to leave Jiujiu. The relationship between the two was much closer before, but now they have become estranged.
In addition, Ye Qianyu is pregnant, Yun Chuhan inevitably goes to her every once in a while.
Yun Chuhan is actually looking forward to having a child. Ye Qianyu's gentleness made him feel comfortable after a tired day.
As for Li Moxuan, Yun Chuhan didn't want to see her. After thinking about it, after she sent the palace, her residence couldn't be too close to Ye Qianyu's.
Yun Chuhan thought about it as he walked out of Zhengyang Palace and went to Concubine De's Palace.
Walking into Chaoyang Palace, Concubine De was sitting on the couch drinking tea.
Yun Chuhan knelt down: "Erchen greets his mother." ”
"Hurry up." Concubine De put down the teacup.
Yun Chuhan stood up.
"Sit down", Concubine De said with a smile, "You have been busy in the palace these days, so you don't have to come to ask for peace." ”
Yun Chuhan sat down: "This is the duty of the son. ”
"Just went to Zhengyang Palace, right? Your father has been getting better lately. It's just that it's still not as good as last year. Come to think of it, the rebellion case hit him too hard. Concubine De said with helplessness on her face.
"After all, Yun Muqing is the eldest son, and his father once had high hopes for him, and he also loved him in every way. It will take some time for the doctor to be good for his body and his heart for a bad heart. The mother concubine should not be too generous, it is good to be injured, and pay attention to the body. Yun Chuhan persuaded.
Concubine De nodded, then raised her head and glanced at Yan An.
Yan An understood and said to the others, "You guys go down first." ”
The others saluted and withdrew.
Yun Chuhan knew that there was something to say.
"What's wrong, Concubine?" Yun Chuhan asked.
Concubine De sighed: "There is one thing that I have held in my heart for many years. When I woke up that day, I wanted to tell the story, but I was too hurt to speak. Later, I thought, when the wound is healed, I will tell you. However, the injury was healed, but he couldn't open his mouth. I'll tell you first. ”
Hearing Concubine De say this, Yun Chuhan felt that it must be a big deal, and his expression became serious: "Erchen listens to it." ”
"At the beginning, the mother insisted on letting you marry for a long time, in fact, most of it was because of guilt." After speaking, Concubine De sighed.
"Guilty?" Yun Chuhan didn't understand.
Concubine De continued: "It's a long story. I was originally from Xiaomen. Jiujiu's mother is my senior sister. ”
As soon as these words came out, Yun Chuhan showed a surprised expression. Since he was a child, he only knew that his maternal grandfather was Fuzhou Chen Yuanwai. Chen Yuanwai was the prefect of Fuzhou and passed away a few years ago.
"There's the minister's grandfather?" Yun Chuhan thought to himself, isn't it fake?
Concubine De knew what Yun Chuhan was thinking: "Half true and half false." Chen Yuanwai is actually my uncle. If I want to enter the palace, I must not be selected as a disciple of Xiaomen. He lied that it was my father and that I was his long-lost daughter. Otherwise, even if I was selected, I would not have been able to make a concubine early. When he died, he took the secret to the grave. ”
"Erchen originally thought that the mother concubine was for the power of Xiaomen. However, this must be one of the reasons, right? ”
Concubine De smiled bitterly: "It's okay, but it's mainly because of guilt." I am ashamed of my senior sister, and even more ashamed of Jiujiu. Otherwise, her life in the Prime Minister's Mansion would not be so difficult. However, I really like Jiujiu. ”
"Jiujiu's mother, died because of her mother?" Yun Chuhan asked.
Concubine De showed a painful expression on her face: "Although I didn't kill Senior Sister, she died because of me." It was I who accidentally slipped out of my mouth and said it to her side, which was heard by someone with a heart. You also know that Xiaomen has made a lot of enemies in the rivers and lakes. ”
Listening to Concubine De's words, Yun Chuhan felt very uncomfortable. He wanted to make up for the long time, but apparently failed.
"Originally, if only she hadn't married you. Maybe, he can get a wishful husband, surrounded by children. How many women who marry into the royal family are truly happy? Concubine De's obvious remorse in these words, I don't know if she was just talking about a long time away, or if she was talking about herself.
Yun Chuhan looked at Concubine De and suddenly asked, "Mother, have you been happy in the palace all these years?" ”
Concubine De was slightly stunned, and then showed a faint smile: "The mother concubine has been happy." When you first entered the palace, and when you were born. ”
Yun Chuhan didn't ask again. In fact, he wanted to know why Concubine De left Xiaomen and chose to enter the palace in the first place.
After thinking about it, Yun Chuhan didn't ask.
"Han'er, you are already the crown prince. Although the mother likes it for a long time, I don't want to see her sad. However, the imperial heir is important, and you have to accompany Ye Meiren more. That's your first child! Also, there are too few people around you, and after a while, the mother concubine will pick a few good ones for you, be a side concubine, and be a widow. Speaking of the child, Concubine De finally had a trace of joy in her eyes.
"Mother, no need." Yun Chuhan said.
"That's right", Concubine De clapped her hands as if she suddenly realized, "Ye Meiren is originally a newcomer. If you take too many new people, it will not be conducive to her pregnancy. People who are pregnant are the most likely to think too much. ”
Thinking of the child in Ye Qianyu's belly, Concubine De was sad and disappeared.
"I told your father myself, after you send the palace, Ye Meiren's pregnancy will be handed over to Chi Cheng to take care of."
Yun Chuhan nodded: "It's reassuring to confirm that Chi Cheng is doing things. ”
"It's a pity that this Ye Meiren came from a humble background. Even if she gives birth to a son, don't mention her position, just give more rewards. In the future, there will be women around you who have good family backgrounds. You can't be pressed by someone from this background. And, don't let it be too long. Concubine De said.
Yun Chuhan nodded. He wished he could think nonsense for a long time, but he didn't want anything at all. Jealous? Nothing at all.
"Don't worry, Erchen understands." Yun Chuhan responded.
"It's not early, it's nothing, you go out of the palace." Concubine De said.
Yun Chuhan stood up: "Erchen retreats." ”
Yun Chuhan walked out of Chaoyang Palace and saw Chi Cheng coming over.
"Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Chi Cheng saluted.
In a place like the palace, the etiquette of Chicheng is still very thorough.
"Are you here to see Ping An's pulse?" Yun Chuhan asked.
"Back to Your Highness, yes." Chi Cheng replied.
Yun Chuhan walked over, passed by Chi Cheng, and said in a low voice, "This palace will wait for you in your house." ”
