One hundred and eighty-four: self-help
Zhu Yuan clutched the letter tightly with both hands, the whole person was tense because she was too nervous, she couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart, and she didn't speak for a long time holding the letter in her hand.
She didn't speak, and none of the others dared to speak, all of them looked at her as if they were facing a great enemy, for fear that she would collapse because of what bad news she received, no wonder Zhu Yuan, the situation has been so bad recently, the East Palace has become the target of public criticism, everyone can step on it, and no matter how strong the nerves are, they can't stand it.
But Zhu Yuan didn't collapse in the end, she lowered her head for a while, and then slowly smoothed out the ordinary-looking letter paper, and then tore them into pieces little by little, so small that she couldn't even read a word clearly, and then threw them in the brazier.
The flame burst out at once, and then went out a moment later because it burned out, just like this letter, which came quietly, and was silent when it was torn up.
Shui He stood for a while, greeted him with some concern, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”
She is really scared, in fact, there are few people in the East Palace who are not afraid.
In the past, I always felt that Zhu Yuan could cover everything, but in fact, Zhu Yuan was just a person, and if he was a human being, he would have weaknesses and difficulties, they relied too much on Zhu Yuan's protection, and once Zhu Yuan behaved differently than before, all of them would lose their sense of proportion.
Zhu Yuan shook her head, and when she looked up again, her eyes had returned to the clear and thorough they used to be, she glanced at Shui He, and said to Shui He: "Go and ask someone to fetch water to come in, I want to freshen up, and in addition, pass the food." ”
Shui He was stunned, and couldn't believe what she heard for a while, until Zhu Yuan glanced at her in confusion, she sighed and jumped up happily: "Yes, I'll go, I'll go......"
She turned around and ran, Zhu Yuan shook his head with a smile, and knew that it was because everyone was under pressure, and after laughing, Zhu Yuan had the heart to ask about the current situation of the Qin family.
The jacaranda also breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, it was much better to face a master who was always confident than to face a person who was depressed all day long.
She hurriedly stepped forward and told Zhu Yuan: "With your message, Lord Fang has already led the Jinyi Guard to escort Lord Qin back to Beijing, don't worry, maybe they have all entered the city now." ”
Baoding is very close to the capital after all.
Fang Liang was also close to the East Palace, so he naturally understood how to treat Lord Qin.
Zhu Yuan pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, she had to find something to do for Emperor Jiaping, and now she could confirm that Chu Tingchuan was definitely not in the hands of the Warat people.
So excluding these impossibilities, the rest of the one is unbelievable, and that's true.
In the hands of the Warats, he is a false prince, an impostor.
Although I don't know what's going on, but this is great news for Zhu Yuan, since Chu Tingchuan is not in the hands of the Warat people, then Zhu Yuan doesn't care about how the imperial court finally asks the Xuanfu guards to solve those Warat people, she just needs to make sure that Emperor Jiaping does not follow the words of the prince and announce the news that the crown prince is dead.
Otherwise, how would Chu Tingchuan come back in the future?
She raised her eyebrows and looked at the jacaranda: "You let people go, tell Concubine Qin the news of the prince's accident, and then tell the seventh prince by the way." ”
What the?
The jacaranda didn't react for a while, she didn't know what Zhu Yuan meant, why did she want Concubine Qin to know? This person is very ambitious, and he can be dormant for so many years and become a blockbuster, not a good stubble, if he knows the news, he will definitely have thoughts that he shouldn't have.
At this time, to inform her of the news of the prince's accident?
Hua Yuan was a little puzzled, but now she has developed a habit, that is, to obey Zhu Yuan's orders, since Zhu Yuan will do this, she naturally has a reason to do this, she responded, and hurriedly went to do this.
Although the East Palace is now down, this little thing is not difficult to do, and the news soon reached Concubine Qin's ears silently.
Zhu Yuan unhurriedly dressed and dined, completely recovering from the previous time when the epidemic spread in the palace, he closed the door and didn't care about anything, even the wives of some rare subordinate officials in the East Palace who did not fall into the well asked to see them, Zhu Yuan also completely refused, and Mrs. Zhu San and others never stepped into the palace.
For a while, the East Palace was completely cold.
If it weren't for the Queen Mother's occasional sending of some things, I'm afraid that the life of the East Palace would be even more difficult.
Although Emperor Jiaping didn't go to see the Queen Mother, Queen Wei still went there, one was to ask the Queen Mother's body to see how the Queen Mother recovered, and the other was that although Queen Wei was a little stupid, she didn't have any bad intentions, and she didn't have to use any brains to be with her, and she could relax.
Empress Wei told this matter, although she knew that Emperor Jiaping was very taboo now, and it was not good for Zhu Yuan to say this, but she still felt a little pity for Zhu Yuan: "It's really pitiful, seeing that everyone has lost a lot of weight, and the clothes are empty on their bodies, if there is really something wrong with Tingchuan, how can she deal with herself?" It's that tough now. ”
After getting along for so long, she really has a relationship, and Empress Wei will no longer fall into the well like before, hoping that Zhu Yuan will be unlucky.
Emperor Jiaping glanced at her, as if he didn't expect her to say this, but thinking that the two of them would always be closer when they worked together to take care of the Queen Mother, he didn't say anything, but said lightly: "This is also her sensible." ”
It's best now, Zhu Yuan also saved him a lot of trouble by doing this, if the crown princess comes to cry and beg at this time, crying, making trouble and hanging herself, and goes to the queen mother to plead, then things will be even worse.
Thinking that Chu Tingchuan had to marry Zhu Yuan back in life and death, now Emperor Jiaping also had to sigh, his son's vision is still good, at least this one is reliable, and it won't hurt anything.
Emperor Jiaping neither said that Chu Tingchuan would come back, nor did he say that Zhu Yuan would not have to suffer so much, after saying the word sensible, he said to Empress Wei: "You can take care of her more on weekdays, she is always a woman's family, no matter how anything happens, she can't be implicated, she don't have a lively mind, I and the Queen Mother will always take care of her." ”
Empress Wei immediately understood Emperor Jiaping's attitude, knowing that Zhu Yuan was in line with Emperor Jiaping's intentions, and her heart suddenly felt a little cold, if she said this, Emperor Jiaping was really not optimistic about the East Palace, and he was not even ready to let Chu Tingchuan come back.....
She couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart for a while, she only felt sour and couldn't hide it, and hurriedly lowered her head to cover the expression on her face.
