Chapter 136: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat
The marriage of Xiao Shizi and Princess Zhiwei is scheduled for the next year, and it is only October now, and the two families will start to get busy, and the palace also attaches great importance to this matter.
Our emperor is weak by nature, and this life can only be said to be without merit, if there is anything to say, that is, the heir is too monotonous, and there are only a pair of children of the prince and the princess, since the emperor ascended the throne, he rarely favors the harem, although he has done nothing, but he has never been negligent in business.
It's not that there are no officials, but the emperor doesn't listen, and they don't have any other way, here, there are people who want the royal heirs to be monotonous, so that they can take advantage of it, so, over the years, it can be said that the emperor has no real power, and he has had a smooth life.
Because this marriage was given by the emperor himself, and the two of them were noble, the emperor specially ordered them to marry according to the specifications of the prince and princess.
Even so, the things that should be there were not defective products because they were too late to buy, and the things that were in short supply were quickly transported back from other places, and batches of materials were moved to the two mansions, so that their marriage was well known.
In this dynasty, there is no prince and princess to marry, I don't know the specifications of the past, but according to the specifications of the previous dynasty, such a battle, probably the specifications of the prince's marriage, Ming Ma is talking about the luxury of this wedding, and also talking about the dignity of the two of them, talented and beautiful, really a pair of beauties.
But no matter what the folk say, Xia Zhishu still looked melancholy, his heart was unstable, he always felt that he was sorry for Xiao Yu'an because of his own reasons, and he didn't dare to face him, or later Yiren told her, "This is a marriage given by the emperor, if you really don't get married, you are really sorry for your Xiao Shizi, she is a gentleman, and she will definitely not let you be charged with resisting the decree, when the time comes, can you bear to let your family Xiao Shizi resist the decree for you?" ”
"Me?" She hadn't experienced anything big, and for a while, she really didn't know what to do.
"Don't worry, you're so good, Xiao Shizi will like you, maybe he already likes you, but you don't know it yet."
"Really?" She couldn't believe it, but she still asked cautiously, always holding on to a little hope.
Yiren smiled and put on a crown for her, the white pearl just fell on her forehead, and a pair of eyebrows and eyes, the girl's eyes were clean, not stained with the dirt of the world at all, and it made people happy to look at it, Seventeen said, they gave birth to a pair of destined people in two days, and they couldn't be separated, so thinking about it, the two of them were really good together.
After getting the affirmation of Yiren, Xia Zhishu put his mind at ease, lowered his shy cheeks, but secretly glanced at himself in the bronze mirror, with a peach face and red lips, a little more shy and charming, the shyness of the girl is indescribably beautiful.
Spring and summer have passed in such ignorance and fearlessness, autumn has quietly come, the weather is getting cooler, but the heat of this marriage has not dissipated, Kyoto City is full of joy because of this marriage, and because the prince went on an expedition, the people are related to the prince, and they are worried about the war on the border, and the atmosphere is tense, and the two completely different atmospheres are intertwined, which really makes me feel that time flies, and the day is so hurried.
At the beginning of November, the cold winter hit, and with it the news that the emperor's health was deteriorating, and when she heard the news, Yiren was not surprised, or she had been waiting for this day.
Their emperor, on the surface, didn't do anything, but in fact, he thought more than anyone else, and saw some things more clearly than anyone else, he was a worried emperor, as early as a long time ago, Yiren knew that he didn't live long, and the royal life was thin, not to mention that he stayed up like this day by day.
He thought, the emperor also knew that his time was running out, so he would make a hasty layout, the emperor had waited for so many years, and he was definitely not a person who did nothing, he was a person who looked forward to the arrival of a new dynasty more than anyone else.
She didn't know what the ending was, but she knew that she had been on his chessboard, just not knowing what role she was playing.
She knew that it was because there was no conflict with the emperor between her and his brother, but others didn't know that the news of the emperor's weak health came out, causing a panic, and when the prince went on the expedition, in case of any accident, everything was unknown.
Xiao Yu'an came out of the palace and went straight to the Wushu House, Yiren saw that the expression on his face was not good, and he was not in a hurry, so he beckoned him to come in and drink hot tea.
Seventeen happened to come over from the kitchen with two bowls of wontons, and when he saw someone coming, he put a bowl in front of him, "How is it?" ”
In the morning, the morning fog was attached to his clothes, wearing a layer of fog, and drinking a cup of hot tea, Xiao Yu'an was relieved, his expression was solemn, and he subconsciously looked at Yiren, "The situation is even worse than the folk rumors." ”
Since the emperor was seriously ill, Zhaoyuan's father, the auxiliary king, took over the burden, and the first thing was to let him participate in the affairs of the court, although he had no official position, but he would ask him about everything, his status was already noble, and the emperor also had a member of the official career who let him go, and the rest of the people had no opinions.
He didn't go back to the court and came back, he would go straight to the Wushu House, and tell the two of them about the major events in the court, although there are folk pickets, and many things are also publicized, but in the end it is inconvenient to disclose, so he can only tell the two of them through his mouth.
The emperor is seriously ill and can't see the wind, but he is still stubborn in the court, sitting through the veil, Xiao Yu'an came out in just half an hour after going to the court today, it is really weird, I saw his face heavy, "Your Majesty's body is afraid that it will not last long, today the court is deliberating, Your Majesty suddenly coughed violently, I followed the auxiliary king to look at it in the back, Your Majesty, has begun to cough up blood." ”
Hearing this, Yiren shook the water of the hot tea, and the tea spilled on his hands, and his white and tender skin turned red.
Seeing this, Seventeen quietly put down the teacup in her hand, then scooped up a wonton, blew it cold and naturally handed it to her mouth, Yiren smiled, shook his head, and then asked Xiao Yu'an, "What else?" ”
Xiao Yu'an thought for a while, and then said: "There is nothing big in the court, but Prince Xiao, every time he is entangled in a little thing, he has to ask the emperor about his condition, and asks the emperor about his condition several times, and asks to see the emperor in the name of sending medicinal materials, and privately inquires about the emperor's condition, and he has been very busy recently. ”
"So what does the Auxiliary King suspect Prince Xiao will do?" Seventeen guessed.
Xiao Yu'an nodded.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, eating breakfast quietly, and Seventeen brought two bowls of wontons, one bowl at Xiao Yu'an's place, and the other bowl he served, and fed it carefully to Yiren's mouth.
Although the picture looks warm, the knots on the eyebrows of several people have never been released.
Yiren couldn't eat a small half bowl, and Seventeen didn't mind, so she ate the remaining half bowl with the spoon she had eaten.
Xiao Yu waited for people to finish eating, and then spoke, "There is no evidence at the moment, Prince Xiao has military power in his hands, but with our ability, we are powerless to resist, so don't startle the snake first." ”
Yiren lowered his eyes, and after a while, he spoke, "The emperor is about to break the kettle, capture the thief and capture the king, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry." ”
The two of them listened and were silent, what could they guess about the emperor's thoughts.
