Chapter Eighty-Three: Homecoming
Xu Yunqing was already standing on the side of the bed at this time, and when she heard He Mian'er's voice, she was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.
For a while, countless thoughts passed through my heart, for fear that He Mian'er would find out about her existence. Mian'er has a strong temperament, and she is afraid that she will have trouble with him.
Who knows, He Mian'er didn't even open her eyes. Only yawned, pressed the little boy who had just screamed to the bed, and planned to sleep for a while.
Xu Yunqing held her breath and found that she really didn't realize her existence, so she breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart, and left He Mansion while everyone was not paying attention.
He Mian'er didn't know anything about what happened last night, and now she went back to her familiar home, lying on the bed where she had fallen asleep since she was a child, and she felt indescribably comfortable all over her body.
She lived the days of the rich daughter of the rich family who stretched out her hands for food, opened her mouth for clothes, and did not touch the spring water with her fingers.
Sometimes, when I think back on the past few years, I feel like I'm in a different world.
In the past few days, she has been thinking about Master Chen. Although she knew that he was the emperor's heir, in her mind, he had always been the gentle scholar who was willing to sacrifice himself to protect herself.
The two had not seen each other since that day, and she knew that he was on the cusp of the storm, and she did not want to cause him more trouble.
Rao has not seen her for many days, but she remembers the promise of that day, and I hope that your heart is like my heart.
When he got up lazily to make up this day, his father He Qi had already returned home from the palace in the morning.
He Mian'er was anxious to find out the news of Master Chen, so she urged the maid to draw her eyebrows, and hurriedly went to ask her father.
He Qi couldn't understand his daughter's mind in his heart, so he only said briefly, "The people of the three princes and the party are urging the four princes to send their biological mother's coffin back to their hometown as soon as possible. ”
He Mian'er knew that Master Chen's mother had passed away for two years, and it seemed a little inappropriate to send the coffin back to her hometown at this moment, so she immediately asked with some puzzlement, "Why?" ”
He Qi looked at his daughter like him, and he didn't know if his daughter was simply interested in the treacherous things in the DPRK and China, or if he had other ideas.
Fortunately, he was fine, and explained at the moment, "The three princes and one party have a good idea, and the biological mother of the fourth prince has not entered the palace record, not even a palace maid." Raising this matter at this moment is questioning the life experience of the four princes. ”
He paused, and then analyzed it for his daughter, "This is a trick that kills multiple birds with one stone. ”
Seeing that his daughter was still at a loss, he felt that it was his responsibility to let his daughter know more about the sinister world, and he could no longer be as innocent as before, otherwise he would always be deceived.
"For the royal family, bloodline is the most important thing. If the life experience of the four princes is doubted, it will be difficult to inherit the unification. This is one of them. ”
He continued, "Second, since the three princes and the party are in the name of filial piety, the four princes can only have two choices, or they will not fall into their trap and ask for their mother to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and no one dares to question their life experience. But her biological mother is just an ordinary woman, and the emperor is still alive, so this trick will not work. ”
He Qi shook his head, and then said, "Then there is only one way left, and that is to personally send my biological mother's coffin back to my hometown." Although it can't be buried in the imperial mausoleum, it is good to preserve the name of filial piety, and others can't say much. ”
He Mian'er nodded, knowing that Master Chen's mother's long-cherished wish before her death was to return to her hometown, after all, no matter how good this Beijing is, she has not been familiar with her hometown for a long time.
He Qi saw that his daughter's face was calm, and he didn't know for a moment whether his daughter had no intention in her heart, or if she didn't think of that layer at all, so he decided to test it.
He Qi pretended to mention inadvertently, "These three princes are a party, and they want the four princes to take this last road." As far as I know, the biological mother of the four princes is a person from a small place in Ningbo, and this journey is full of difficulties and dangers. ”
He Mian'er didn't think of this, her face changed suddenly at the moment, and when she thought that Master Chen's life might be in danger, she was immediately anxious, and asked eagerly, "What should I do?" ”
He Qi knew his daughter's mind as soon as he tried it, and sighed heavily in his heart at the moment, he was such an only daughter in his life, who knew that it was a bumpy love road.
Whether these four princes ascend to the throne or become prisoners in the future. None of his daughters can get half of the benefits.
He originally wanted to assist him as the emperor for the sake of the good character of the four princes.
Seeing his daughter's heartbroken face at this moment, he was a little ruthless, he didn't plan to wade into this troubled water again, he must protect his daughter for the rest of his life.
Then he said with a cold face, "How is this prince, you are not allowed to ask again in the future." Then he turned and left, leaving his daughter alone to reflect on the spot.
He Mian'er never thought that her father would turn his face to herself, and for a while, she only felt very wronged.
In a blink of an eye, I thought that if Master Chen fell into the trap of those people, on the way back to his hometown, he was afraid that he would die for life. She knew that Mrs. Chen's family was in decline, and the court and China did not make friends with any ministers.
Jingzhong is also half a decade away from Ningbo. Rao is the emperor sent someone to protect him, and I am afraid that it is also difficult.
When He Mian'er thought of this, she felt pain in her heart and spleen, and she frowned, not knowing how Master Chen would deal with herself.
The four princes that He Mian'er was concerned about were also in a fierce conflict with their father because of this incident at this moment.
The emperor Lao'er did not agree with the return of the four princes to their hometowns. Although his biological mother said so in the letter, he knew that if the emperor was far away from his sphere of influence in Beijing, he was afraid that he would not be able to reach him.
Since the death of the crown prince, the emperor has aged a lot, and his body bones are not as good as before. In addition, the war on the border has not subsided, and the emperor is also worried day and night, and many things in the court and China are powerless.
In addition, at that time, only one of the three princes in the court could inherit the system, so with the acquiescence of the emperor intentionally or unintentionally, the three princes and one party slowly encroached on many of the previous forces and controlled many key positions.
At this moment, the four princes did not want to be under the protection of their father all the time, he knew that his wings were not full, and all the ministers in the court were very unfamiliar.
But the heart of a filial son is surging in his chest. When his mother was dying, he was not in front of the collapse.
After dying in a foreign country, he could not return to his homeland and lived in the capital, which was his mother's last regret. Chen Fuzi has always had an estranged relationship with his mother, but at this moment, he is desperate for this life, and he also wants to send his mother back to his hometown, and the souls of those who do not want to pass away are not at peace.
The emperor never thought that the fourth prince, who had always seemed to be obedient, was the same as his mother in his bones, and he was the most stubborn.
At the moment, he was full of anger, threw down his sleeves and left.
Unexpectedly, the four princes began a hunger strike in the palace in the name of filial piety. However, after a day, the emperor relented, and at the moment he was relieved and complied with the wishes of the four princes.
It's just that although he is the emperor, there are not many personal guards in his hands, not to mention, what worries the emperor the most is that even he himself doesn't know how many of these people have already submitted to the three princes.
"Emperor, if you insist on this, go ahead." The emperor sighed, and for a while, he looked a few years older.
