Chapter 68: Foggy
Hanging on to the New Year's injury, Zhuo Yao went to Huguo Temple early to ask for a safe knot and came back, carefully helped Yu Zhao out of bed, and gave her a cushion to sit on her side on the chair. Tie the peace knot to the hem of her garment, and say auspicious words while speaking. Later, he took out another one and handed it to her, and instructed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also injured, so the mother will hand it over on her behalf." ”
I don't know whether to take it or not, Yu Zhao asked: "Auntie has been in the palace for so long, don't you think this move is too unruly?" ”
Zhuo Yao smiled kindly: "The slave maid has been in this palace for so long, and everyone else says that the slave maid knows the rules best, but since serving the Queen Mother, I don't know how many things I have done to help her and Your Majesty violate the rules." Even if the mother enters the palace, she is not in accordance with the rules first. If not, you and Your Highness will be justified. ”
The name is right, these words are too extravagant for Chu Zikai and Yu Zhao, and when they came out of Zhuo Yao's mouth at this moment, Yu Zhao heard it in a trance. looked at the peace knot in her hand in a daze, but still didn't dare to take it.
Seeing this, Zhuo Yao persuaded: "Your Majesty has always treated Niangniang as a junior, and now you acquiesce to the affection between you and Your Highness, and you will be fine from now on." ”
Yu Zhao still felt strange, and after taking it helplessly, he asked tentatively: "Why did Your Majesty ......?" and shut up, not knowing how to speak.
Zhuo Yao was empathetic, understood her doubts, and took the initiative to explain to her: "You note that you are sincere to Your Highness, Your Majesty is not a ruthless person, he has also suffered and experienced the difficulties of you and Your Highness." ”
Have you ever suffered a lot? Remembering that Chu Zikai also said last night that Emperor Yuan had also done things that did not follow the rules, he was a little curious. But it was very rude to ask rashly, silently did not speak, holding the peace knot that Zhuo Yao asked for Chu Zikai, and his heart was entangled.
Can't go out to blow the wind, the red plums in the palace don't have a chance to appreciate this year, someone inserts a bottle and sends it over, but the red plum grows upside down.
Pour Xuemei, pour blood luck, Yu Zhao felt that he was thinking a little too much, and hurriedly read in his heart that it was not allowed or not, and ordered someone to take it. I heard Feng An come over in a panic and informed: "Concubine Chen, the second prince's side concubine can't come today." ”
His eyelids jumped, and Yu Zhao hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”
Feng An replied: "The second prince's side concubine was found to be pregnant today, and Your Majesty means that she will be detained for the time being, and after the child in her womb lands, she will be released." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still tracking down the whereabouts of Lai Da, the steward of the Chen Mansion. ”
Sure enough, the flower responded to the scene, and what Yu Yao did this time almost implicated Chu Ziyi's safety, Yu Zhao made up his mind that he would never let her go easily. At this moment, Emperor Yuan gave an order, and at the beginning of the new year, he didn't want to add karma to himself, so he had to wait for her to give birth to a child before settling the account.
But some people can't wait, and Concubine Shen has changed her attitude towards Yu Yao since she learned that Yu Yao had misbehaved in the Second Prince's Mansion. No one could tell whether the child in her womb was Chu Zirui's or who's, but Emperor Yuan didn't want to risk the royal bloodline, so he only said that after the child came into the world, he would make a decision after the blood was recognized.
Concubine Shen didn't dare to take risks, if that kid wasn't, Emperor Yuan would probably completely dislike Chu Zirui, and he was thinking about how to completely solve the risk.
Not long after, Chu Zikai did a good job, caught Lai Da who was absconding, and after a round of torture in the torture room, he was all recruited. Not only did he plan to make the cargo ship of the Neizao Mansion leak, but he also abused his power to smuggle out the fuel from the Chen Mansion's treasury, and the saltpeter sulfuric acid was also brought by the merchant of Tuoyunyou, and he did something wrong with her.
If it weren't for Chu Zikai's carefulness in this game, it would indeed be seamless, the Chen Mansion had a legitimate reason to buy that batch of fuel, and there were many banquets in Jingzhou, and no one would pay attention to which one canceled the birthday banquet celebration. and interrogated the Chen Mansion, they were also used and deceived by Yu Yao, a white-eyed wolf, if the matter is exposed and Lai Da escapes, the Chen Mansion can be a scapegoat. Who knew that Chen Nan had already noticed Lai Da's adultery with her. Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice, but luck is good, and I have the goods in my stomach, as if I have temporarily won a gold medal for avoiding death.
Karma, but sooner or later, Yu Zhao and the others started, Yu Cheng was in a hurry, and the letters were handed to the Chaohui Palace one by one, and the interests were the most important between the lines, and he didn't care that Yu Zhao was almost killed.
To deal with hypocritical people, you have to use hypocritical methods, as long as you don't fight with him sloppily, it is not so difficult to write a few nice words, and Wen Luo made a statement in front of Yu Cheng for this matter, if you don't punish those who hurt Yu Zhao, there are many people in the court who want to take the Wen brothers and sisters under their command.
gave Yu Cheng a wake-up call, and looked back at the powerful people behind him, all of whom came for Yu Zhao and Chu Ziyi, and cut off contact with the Fuguo Mansion and Yu Yao with interest, and didn't dare to mention it again.
As for Concubine Shen, Yu Zhao never felt that she only reminded her for her own good, wishing that her infamous person suddenly became kind, too strange.
And can launch the motive, whether it is Chu Ziyi or Yu Zhao has an accident that day, Yu Cheng will lose his backbone, Chu Ziyang is attached to Chu Zikai, so he has to go all out to help Chu Zirui take the position, Concubine Shen is calm and does not move, and she can't see the flaws, Yu Zhao has to observe secretly.
The lights of the Shangyuan Festival were turned on again, Yu Zhao's injuries were finally almost healed, and he also attended the banquet, and after responding to the true and false concerns of all walks of life, he returned to Chaohui Palace with a tired body.
Before leaving, she was stopped by Zhanxiao, pulled aside by her, and stuffed a bottle of medicine into her hand. "This is given to you by the second prince of Xifan, Tuo Yinghuayi, saying that this medicine can remove scars and eliminate scars."
What she said later, Yu Zhao didn't have the heart to listen, because Chu Zikai came out of the hall immediately, obviously heard it, looked at the medicine bottle in Yu Zhao's hand, and smiled at Zhan: "Something of unknown origin, don't bring it in to her in the future, and make it clear to Ying Huayi, he is a staff member of the East Palace, and I am afraid that it is not in accordance with the rules to be involved with foreigners." ”
Zhanxiao and Yu Zhao looked at each other, stunned, and Zhanxiao thought about whether to take the medicine back.
Not wanting to embarrass her, Yu Zhao took the initiative to return the medicine to her: "This medicine must be good, I have never been easy to leave traces, please help me transfer it to General Wenluo, okay?" Although she is training in the barracks, she is also a beautiful woman, and she will inevitably be injured when she dances with a knife and a gun, so she should be able to use it. ”
There are steps to go down, Zhanxiao hurriedly took it, and retreated first. Emperor Yuan came out immediately and beckoned to Yu Zhao: "You come to the Son of Heaven Hall with me, I have something to say to you." ”
Yu Zhao nodded in response, and was about to follow him to the Son of Heaven Palace, Chu Zikai lowered his voice to comfort: "Don't be afraid, my father also talked to me today, but it was just some instructions." ”
Yu Zhao felt uneasy, didn't say anything, followed Emperor Yuan in silence all the way, and when he arrived at the Son of Heaven Palace, the door of the palace was closed, and even Feng An and Zhuo Yao couldn't hear what the two were talking about.
An hour later, Yu Zhao came out, her eyes were blank and her soul was lost, Zhuo Yao saw that her eyes were red, and her emotions seemed to be a little broken, so she hurriedly helped her. Yu Zhao only walked forward in a daze, and Zhuo Yao couldn't listen to anything he asked.
The lights on both sides of the palace road were festive, but Yu Zhao felt that he couldn't see the light, everything in front of him was dark, Chu Ziyi came up from afar, and called: "Mother, Ziyi is here to pick you up." ”
His figure seemed to be a little light in the darkness, Yu Zhao squatted down to look at him, tears couldn't stop overflowing, Chu Ziyi hurriedly reached out to wipe him. Just like when I met him for the first time, it was blood at that time, and tears at the moment, Yu Zhao didn't know what it would be next time. Lead him back: "Okay, Ziyi will take me back......"
