Two hundred and forty-six, finally
The imperial court soon finally decided on the candidates for the chief and deputy envoys, and when the New Year finally passed, they were sent on the road, and the matter was finally settled, and everyone was relieved.
It's just that Empress Wei didn't mean to be particularly happy when she saw the Queen Mother, and finally one day she couldn't help but ask her doubts in a low voice: "Why is the old lady so worried?" Since the imperial court has sent an envoy, as long as the conditions are right, the other party will definitely let Tingchuan come back. ”
It's good to be able to save your life, but the so-called future status is better to stay for later.
Who can take care of that?
The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, took the ginseng soup handed by Aunt Weng and took a sip, her body has been getting worse and worse recently, Zhu Yuan tried her best to recuperate with medicinal food, but it was just to make her more comfortable, she knew that her body couldn't support it.
She is not too sad, she has been in power for so many years, many things have long been looked down, people will always die, plus she was a life she picked up last year, and it is not easy to survive until now.
But because of this, the Queen Mother was even more apprehensive, she coughed for a while, and finally suppressed the smell of blood in her throat, and said lightly: "It has been delayed for more than half a year, and no news has been sent back. ”
There was a sudden silence in the main hall, Empress Wei closed her eyes, and shook her head categorically: "No, Ting Chuan is not such an unlucky child.....
The longer the days passed, the more Empress Wei could appreciate the benefits of Chu Tingchuan.
Someone else to be the prince? The Seventh Prince was depressed in his heart, and always felt that Concubine Qin's death had something to do with her, and he would never treat her well in the future, the Nine Emperors?
The Nine Emperors have their own concubines, and they have not been close to her at all since they were children.
She is now the group of people who are most eager to hope that Chu Tingchuan can come back safely, and when she heard the Queen Mother say this, she denied it before she trembled and said, "No news may be good news." ”
The Queen Mother sighed.
When Emperor Jiaping arrived at Empress Wei's palace in the evening, he found that Empress Wei was in a daze.
He rarely saw Empress Wei lose her soul like this, so he asked casually.
Empress Wei came back to her senses, hurriedly stood up and saluted, but was stopped by Emperor Jiaping, and only then did she hesitate to say the situation of the Queen Mother: "I originally thought that although the old lady was physically damaged, she would slowly get better after recuperating for a while, but now she looks at ......."
Seeing that Emperor Jiaping's face sank suddenly, she pursed her lips, and continued: "The old lady knows it in her own heart, it's useless for us to be relieved, today she also mentioned Tingchuan......"
Speaking of the crown prince, Emperor Jiaping was also a little stunned, sat down and said: "After being besieged for so long, the Warat people have retreated. ”
What the?
Empress Wei didn't react for a while.
The Warats have withdrawn?
What do you mean?
Before the Warat people besieged Xuanfu, forcing General Yang to almost die in the city, but later they resisted stubbornly and dragged until the reinforcements arrived, but the Warat people did not mean to retreat, but they were stationed outside the city, and the surrounding villages and small cities were plundered by them, and they even used the people to threaten General Yang to open the city gate.
It is precisely because of this that the controversy of the imperial court over this matter is very loud.
But now the Holy One says that the Warats have withdrawn?
What's going on? Empress Wei immediately realized that something was wrong, and asked in a low voice: "What does the Holy Lord mean, is Tingchuan ......?"
She thought of a possibility, and suddenly she was so creepy that she even got goosebumps.
If it was really the Warat people who killed Chu Tingchuan, then it would be too late!
But if that's the case, then why let the mission travel?
She looked up at Emperor Jiaping suddenly, and her heart fluctuated for a moment, not knowing how to react.
Emperor Jiaping also saw that she was worried about Chu Tingchuan, and after thinking about it, he shook his head: "It's been too long since I lost the news of Tingchuan, even Wei Minzhai didn't send the news back, I have to make any preparations, as for the mission, let them go, naturally go and see what is going on." ”
Empress Wei suddenly felt a little collapsed.
Listening to Emperor Jiaping's meaning, did he think that Chu Tingchuan's hope of living was very slim?
No wonder Emperor Jiaping has been a little afraid to go to the Queen Mother recently.
He knows the Queen Mother's thoughts, and he also understands how much the Queen Mother values Chu Tingchuan, so he is even more afraid of facing the Queen Mother, right?
She decided to put it down.
The Queen Mother's health is getting worse and worse now, if you tell her directly, I don't know how long the Queen Mother can last.
As for Zhu Yuan, it is even more so, although Zhu Yuan has always been very stable, but Empress Wei does not know how good her relationship with Chu Tingchuan is.
Things have come to this point, and they have even been given a short period of peace.
Princess Jing'an, who likes to stir up trouble outside the palace, died, and public opinion subsided with Zhu Yuan's argument, and even the ministers who loved to cause trouble the most stopped holding on to this matter because the dilemma of Xuanfu had been solved, and the situation in the capital finally stabilized.
A lot of things have happened during this time, such as the marriage between Green Yi and Jinchang was finally successfully held.
Zhu Yuan also attended the ceremony in person.
This is a very dignified thing for both the Lin family and the Zhu family, the green clothes were full of tears, holding Zhu Yuan's hand, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
Zhu Yuan touched her head, and said with a smile like the tea forest in Gyeongju Mansion when he was a child: "Don't cry anymore, you have grown up now, you have your own family and husband, and you will have your own children in the future, which is the biggest reward for me, from now on, you are just you, live your life well, I will be happier than anything else." ”
Speaking of which, even Mrs. Lin couldn't help but be moved.
This crown princess, everyone else knows how powerful and proud she is, but she only sees her sincerity, how can a person who can be so attentive to the girl who serves her can be a ruthless person?
She finally understood why her son had always said how arrogant the crown princess was, but he had always obeyed all of Zhu Yuan's orders.
Zhu Yuan does have this ability and charm, which makes people willing.
She smiled, looked at Zhu Yuan seriously, and said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, I will definitely treat Green Yi as my own daughter, and I will definitely not let Jinchang be unable to stand up to her." ”
Zhu Yuan smiled, Green Yi finally got married, and her heart was finally settled.
