Chapter 230: The Law of Compromise
"Your Highness, Fang Cai, you and General Yun ......"
"Enough, don't let him be in front of me in the future!" Before Qing Yu finished speaking, he was interrupted by the crown prince, and when the two of them faced Mai Mang in the Yun Mansion, he couldn't interject, and now he still can't say anything.
"That'...... What should we do now? Qing Yu lowered her voice, thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just recovered from a serious illness, for fear that His Royal Highness would be angry and would not dare to anger the Prince again.
"Continue to pretend to be sick, let everyone think that I am still asleep, I don't believe it anymore, without him, I won't be able to save Lin Yue?" The prince clenched his fist and threw a punch at the willow tree in front of him, but he stopped in the slightest, he could not be injured, he could not show his flaws.
"Let's go! What are you still doing? Back to the palace! ”
……
"Starling, my son, why haven't you woken up after taking the Blue Sea Youlian for so many days in a row?" The queen looked at the pale prince on the bed, and her eyes showed distress and worry.
"Niangniang, it's time for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take medicine." A maid with a beautiful face walked in with a bowl of black medicinal juice, and when she walked to the prince's bed, she bent her knees slightly.
"Give it to me!" The queen sighed and took the medicine bowl.
But when he touched the medicine bowl, he looked furious and scolded sharply, "Damn girl, this medicine is so hot, can't you touch it?" Or is this how you serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on weekdays? ”
"The queen mother forgives the sin, the slave maid is transferred from the embroidery workshop, she does a lot of needlework on weekdays, and the calluses are worn out on her hands, and she doesn't feel the temperature of the medicine for a while, the queen mother forgives her sins!" Little girl, where have you ever seen such a scene, plopped, knelt on the ground and cried, knocking her head one after another.
"You say you have calluses on your hands, don't you? See the charcoal basin over there? Go and bring it to me and kneel, it's autumn at the moment, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't be cold! The queen's submissive appearance was still not relieved, and she simply resorted to such a trick to punish her.
"Queen Mother, the slave will not dare in the future, please raise your noble hand and spare the slave and maid this time!"
Listening to the noise in front of him, the prince squinted his eyes slightly, and when he saw the queen's distorted face because of anger, he quickly closed his eyes.
"What's so noisy?" The emperor's voice sounded behind the jade fan screen, and when he came in, he was exempted from everyone's greetings, just to hear what was going on? stood there for a long time, and only heard that the little maid was admitting her mistake and the queen was unyielding.
"Your Majesty, it's her, I don't know who sent her to serve Starling, she came in with a bowl of medicine, I originally wanted to take it over and feed Starling, who knew that the medicine was very hot? It is conceivable that no one takes care of them on weekdays, how they treat starlings, so bold and reckless, their hearts can be punished! ”
"I see, the queen actually hurt her liver and started a fire for these little things, and made a big noise in front of the prince's bed, and the imperial doctor said that His Royal Highness the prince needs to recuperate, and the queen will take care of it more in the future, and feel that the slaves and maids can't do anything well, and the queen can come over every day to take care of it personally."
The emperor glanced at the crown prince on the bed, and turned to sit on the chair brought by the palace people.
"Yes, the concubine will definitely take care of it every day in the future." The queen received the order, and a fierce look swept over, and the maid who had made a mistake just now retreated in a panic.
"The concubine saw that the emperor was rubbing his forehead, but he had a head disease again?" The queen changed a gentle smile on her face, and it was the same as just now.
"Well, I'm worried about Mrs. Chen's grandson now." The emperor glanced at the queen, and today he did not come to see His Royal Highness the Prince, but went to the middle palace first, and then looked for the queen to come here.
"Taifu's grandson? The concubine heard that Mrs. Chen had been passed down for three generations, and now she has only one grandson. The queen stepped forward step by step, took off her armor, and gently rubbed her forehead for the emperor.
It's rare that they're so close today.
"It's really good, but it's precisely because of this that it's hard to decide." A gleam flashed in the emperor's eyes, how could it be difficult to make a decision, he had already calculated it in his heart.
Chen Taifu is an old minister of the former dynasty, loyal and good for generations, the only bad thing is that he often relies on the old and sells the old, and sometimes even the emperor's proposition dares to press a head, and now his grandson has made a mistake, and the emperor is thinking of a way to remove his family's hereditary title, thinking about it, but also with the help of the hands of the queen's relatives.
"How can you make a bad decision? Although it is said that the harem does not interfere in the political affairs of the previous dynasty, the concubines are very distressed when they see the emperor so tired, so it is better for the emperor to talk about it, in case the concubines can solve problems for the emperor! Although the queen was angry just now, seeing that the emperor's attitude towards her has changed, the smile on her face has become more and more real and bright.
"It's Mrs. Chen's grandson, who made trouble with people in Hualou and killed two people, and now everyone in the imperial city knows about it, and the ministers of the court and the central government have repeatedly written books, if I ignore it, I'm afraid I will lose my prestige, but if I manage it, the prince will be guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone a grandson of Taifu." The emperor pulled the queen's Qianqianyu hand and rubbed it a few times.
"The concubine knows the emperor's embarrassment, if it is dealt with according to the law, Mrs. Chen's grandson is afraid that his life is not guaranteed, but the three generations of the Chen family have been passed down alone, and without the grandson, wouldn't it cost the old lady's life?" The queen smiled.
"Yes, it's still the queen who understands me, and that's where I'm having a headache right now." After speaking, the emperor sighed a few times, glanced at the prince lying on the bed, and continued, "Whether it is for the king or the minister, there are places that have to be difficult, I just hope that my starling inherits the unification and can handle it well." ”
"Your Majesty, there is a way for concubines." It's not that the queen doesn't understand, what is the emperor thinking? was counting what she was doing, but after she heard the emperor say the words "inheriting the unification", she completely let down her guard in her heart.
"Oh, tell me about it." The emperor was obviously expected, but he also pretended to be an unexpected surprise.
"The left and right are just for the Hualou woman to fight, and it is not the original intention of Mrs. Chen's grandson to hurt people's lives, but if he doesn't take it, he will set an example, but I am afraid that there will be more and more people making waves in the future in the court, and the concubines think that the emperor can find a compromise solution, and send a lesson to Mrs. Chen, and also scare the people who have bad intentions in the center."
The queen's eyes moved, and she continued, "Uncle is a person who can compromise, uncle is not inferior to Chen Taifu in terms of qualifications or position, and uncle is also a mainstay in the court, it is better to let uncle discuss with the ministers, write a letter to intercede, and give the emperor a step down." ”
The emperor's eyes dodged, "What are you going down the stairs?" ”
"If the ministers write to ask for Mrs. Chen's grandson to keep his life and let him be exiled to the frontier, in this way, the emperor will not only push the boat down the river and give Chen Taifu a favor, but in the hearts of the people of the imperial city, his prestige will not be reduced."
