If Song Lian is just to keep his daughter, why does he need to make his daughter a concubine? Even if she is a daughter, it is not a problem to be a good woman or a good woman, and it is more than enough to be a good woman.
Asking for the title of a concubine for Song Qingyue is just to hide from Gaozong's eyes and ears.
These big families, the daughters who have been raised for so many years, are like a son on the chessboard in front of them.
Zhou Ze sighed and said, "Remember: the higher you climb, the fewer people will step under your feet." ”
Song Qingyue didn't answer Zhou Ze's words.
A gust of autumn wind blew in through the window, and Song Qingyue couldn't help but shiver and cough a few times.
Zhou Ze hurriedly took off the cloak for Song Qingyue from the hanger and put it on her shoulder, and ordered Qiu Cicada to close all the windows in this room.
Song Qingyue smiled at Zhou Ze and said softly: "The slave's body is an old problem, so it's not in the way." After Song Qingyue said this, she realized that something was wrong, and said in a lower voice: "I forgot, Your Highness won't let me call myself a slave." ”
Zhou Ze put up Song Qingyue's cloak and said, "You girl, I don't blame you for being lonely." As he spoke, he nodded on the tip of Song Qingyue's nose, and said, "Hurry up and get better, so that you can assist Situ Liangdi in managing the Prince's Mansion." ”
Speaking of this, Song Qingyue sighed. She has been sick since her mother's womb, and it is not easy for her to live until now. It's hard to get better.
Song Qingyue's sigh made Zhou Ze a little sad.
"The orphan will ask the best doctor to treat you." When he said this, Zhou suddenly thought of Ji Seventeen. It seems that he is going to go to the Begonia Tower.
Song Qingyue smiled bitterly. How long she can live, she knows in her heart, and Zhou Ze's words are just comforting herself.
"Your Highness, don't work hard for the affairs of your concubines, human life is in heaven." Song Qingyue said.
Zhou Ze patted Song Qingyue's shoulder, "Lone said to do it", seeing Song Qingyue nodded, Zhou Ze said again: "Lone still has some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you to lunch." ”
Song Qingyue sent Zhou Ze out of the door, looked at the withered autumn leaves, and sighed.
For Song Qingyue, death may have been just an asthma attack. was in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and she didn't think about dying. Only, what about after death?
The relatives are painful, and the enemies are fast.
Mrs. Qin, the head mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion, has always looked at her and her mother. Song Qingyue knew that only when she was favored by the prince could her mother's life be better.
Although the imperial doctor said that she would not live for more than a year, Zhou Ze kept it a secret.
However, how heavy is her illness and how long she lives.
Song Qingyue knew very well in her heart.
Right now, Zhou Ze has arrived at Fu Qingman's Begonia Tower.
Fu Qingman handed Zhou Ze a cup of ginseng tea, Zhou Ze took a sip, and asked, "Liangyuan knew in advance that Gu was coming?" ”
Fu Qingman shook his head, "The concubine doesn't know. ”
Zhou Ze continued to ask: "Then why is this tea the same temperature as the one you drank in the past?" ”
Fu Qingman smiled, "This ginseng tea, the concubines always let people prepare it." When His Highness wants to come, he will be able to drink tea at the right temperature. ”
Zhou took Fu Qingman's hand, let Fu Qingman sit on his side, and said, "It's hard for you." ”
Fu Qingman didn't speak again.
Zhou Ze took another sip of tea and said, "The eyeliner of Lone Zaixi Wangfu was carried to the mass grave. ”
Fu Qing was taken aback and looked up at Zhou Ze. Without waiting for Fu Qingman to speak, Zhou Ze said again: "The reason given by the Xi Wangfu is that the maid injured Princess Xi and killed herself by hitting the wall because she was afraid. ”
Good reason.
Fu Qingman didn't know if this reason was true or not, and he didn't care if Fu Ci was really injured. She knows that there are many reasons why she wants to die alone. Even if the reason given by the Xiwang Mansion is just an excuse, it is reasonable. If this matter is made big because of the death of a maid, it will be the prince's mansion that will not outweigh the losses in the end.
"Your Highness should have made plans a long time ago," Fu Qingman said.
Zhou nodded. Right now, Zhou Yan and Zhou Xin couldn't figure out where he was, and King Xi got the jade dragon head left by Mrs. Qiu.
This situation put Zhou Ze in an embarrassment for a while.
"Why don't Your Highness make friends with the Fourth Highness and take these two sons of the Shen family first?" Fu Qingman said.
"Have you forgotten that the fourth wife's surname is also Shen?" Zhou asked.
Fu Qingman did not forget this. Shen Zihe's woman was very impressed by Fu Qingman.
"In this case, His Royal Highness should let General Shen recognize clearly whether to protect his nephew or his son-in-law." Fu Qingman said.
Zhou knew that letting Shen Zihe marry the fourth child was unexpected by General Shen. For the Shen family, Shen Guifei and them are each other's supporters.
The Shen family provided Shen Guifei with connections in the court, and also made Gaozong think about the merits of the Shen family, and also made Shen Guifei feel like a fish in water in the harem. In turn, Shen Guifei earned a better way for the descendants of the Shen family, and also made the Shen family majestic enough in the court.
"How can we make them realize that clinging to the fourth child is a better way out?" Zhou asked.
Fu Qingman smiled slightly, "It depends on the ability of the eldest sister and the queen mother." ”
The meaning of these words was pondered for a long time before he understood.
Fu Qingman wanted the queen to make a stumbling block for Shen Guifei in the harem. It's just that the current queen has always lacked the favor of the saints, so what is the reason for letting her do such things?
Thinking of this, Zhou Ze said: "The queen mother will definitely not do this." ”
Fu Yingge wouldn't do this, but what if it was for Fu Yingge?
In Fu Yingge's life, there are only two people who can't let go. One is Emperor Gaozong, and the other is to send the princess Fu Xuanyu.
Fu Qingman knew Gaozong's position in Fu Yingge's heart. However, didn't she, the high-ranking aunt, finally go to touch Gaozong's moldy head for the sake of Fu Xuanyu?
Thinking of this, Fu Qingman said: "It's naturally inappropriate for me to say this to His Royal Highness, what if I send the princess to say it?" ”
Hearing this, Zhou fell into deep thought.
Fu Qingman's words are not unreasonable. As long as Shen Guifei is defeated, the Shen clan will naturally mess with themselves. When the time comes, General Shen will inevitably abandon this sister to find his son-in-law Zhou Yi as a backer.
It's just that in this way, Zhou Yan and Zhou Xin's arrogance was dispelled, but the fourth child was cheapened. What's more, standing behind Zhou Yi is Cangxi. Isn't this really going to leave a legacy for the future?
After pondering for a long time, Zhou Ze still made up his mind to listen to Fu Qingman's opinion.
As long as Zhou Yan and Zhou Xin are subdued, Zhou Yi will also see this incident of killing chickens and monkeys. What's more, Zhou Yi does not have as many soldiers as himself, and if he really fights, he will also take advantage.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ze was in a good mood and asked, "Do you know Ji Seventeen?" ”
Fu Qingman stroked his bulging belly and frowned slightly after hearing this, why did Zhou Ze suddenly ask about this person?
"Lone wants to meet this person who is known as the miracle doctor." Zhou explained.
Fu Qingman didn't believe that Zhou Ze just wanted to see Ji Seventeen, I'm afraid that this was the situation of the Song beauty on the tip of Zhou Ze's heart, which was not very good.
Thinking of this, Fu Qingman pretended to be sad and said: "The concubine has a relationship with Mr. Ji, but I don't know where Mr. Ji is. ”
Zhou Ze didn't ask any more about Ji Qiqi, and left the Begonia Building after arranging a meeting with Fu Xuan.
Since beating Fu Porcelain and hurting his arm, Cangxi will serve fish soup, chicken soup, and ginseng soup to the Wutong Palace. Fu Ci couldn't resist Cangxi, so he could only pour all these soups.
Cangxi still shouted Fu Ci to get up for morning exercise on the fourth watch every day. Although most of the time Fu Ci nested on the rattan chair and watched Cangxi practice his sword, in the past few days, Fu Ci was dragged by Cangxi and began a simple movement.
After persisting for two or three days, Fu Ci's face also looked a lot ruddy.
Since Fu porcelain passed through the door, the things in the Xiwang Mansion have been one after another. Cangxi simply took leave from Gaozong, saying that he would not go to the court in a month. Although Gaozong agreed to Cangxi's request, many of them were still sent down.
Cangxi looked at this pile of official documents, and had a headache, especially when he saw that there was an official document mentioning the wolf ambitions of the two brothers Zhou Yan and Zhou Xin.
Cangxi was rubbing her temples, Fu Ci came to the study with a cup of tea, and ordered Guiyu to light sandalwood.
"Sandalwood concentrating, it may be much better for the prince to smell this incense", as he said, Fu Ci put the tea next to Cangxi's table.
"How's your arm recovering?" Cangxi took Fu Ci's hand and asked.
This month has passed, and the bandages on Fu Ci's hands have been removed. Although he left a scar, the scar faded a lot under Xiangluo's careful treatment. Xiangluo said that the scar will be able to disappear a lot after June next year, and then apply some powder, and the storage will not be visible.
Cangxi knew that Fu Ci still cared more about this pair of skins, so he rolled Fu Ci's sleeve up, and looked at the not deep and shallow scar on Fu Ci's arm, "I've wronged you." ”
Fu Ci shook his head and reached out to rub his temples for Fu Ci.
"Why is the prince bothered?" Fu Ci asked.
Cangxi handed over the official document and said, "Look at it", Fu Ci took the official document, and Cangxi continued: "This kind of official document, this king has received no less than ten letters, all of which are saying that Zhou Yan and Zhou Xin are not happy. ”
Fu Ci roughly glanced through the official documents, and put them on the table on the side, "The prince should be most worried about this matter, not the prince." ”
Fu Ci's words are true. When encountering this kind of thing, Cangxi can do not seek politics in his position, but Zhou in it cannot.
"Guess what the prince will do?" Fu Ci asked.
Cangxi pondered for a moment and said, "If I were Zhou Ze, I would win over the fourth child." ”
Fu Ci nodded, but Cangxi shook his head and said, "No, Zhou has no reason to win over the fourth child, after all, the fourth child also has Zhou's blood on his body." ”
"Don't forget, Lord Wang, the wife of the Fourth Highness is the daughter of the Shen family, and the one standing behind the Great Highness and the Third Highness is also the Shen family."
Fu Ci's words reminded Cangxi.
It's always Zhou Ze who is wary of Zhou Yi, and now his enemy is the Shen family's sons instead of Zhou Yi. As long as Zhou Yan and Zhou Xin are brought down, and there is another trick of praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches, who else can sit firmly in this world except Zhou Ze?
"I guess Fu Qingman will definitely let the queen move to Shen Guifei through Fu Xuan's mouth. In this way, the foundation of the Shen clan was shaken. Fu Ci said.
This is something Cangxi didn't expect - to take advantage of the harem dispute to bring down the Shen family's concubine, so that the Shen family has to lean on the big tree of Zhou Yi, and relying on Zhou Yi is equivalent to relying on Zhou Ze.
With such a good calculation, Zhou Ze really planned it too well.
Cangxi knew that Fu Qingman had always been not very favored by the queen, but the queen was a maverick to Fu Xuanyue. If, as Fu Ci said just now, it was Fu Xuanyue who was wronged, the queen would inevitably go to Shen Guifei for the trouble of Fu Xuanyu. As long as the Shen family's noble concubine is pulled off the horse, the Shen family will not worry about finding another good master.
Looking at Fu Ci's smug expression, Cangxi asked, "Are you so sure?" ”
Certainly not. But Fu Ci believes that this layer of Fu Qingman can think of it, and he will also ask Zhou to do it.
"The concubine is not for sure, but for knowing each other and knowing that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles", as he said, Fu Ci handed the already cooled tea to Cangxi's hand.
Cangxi took a sip and asked, "How do you know each other and know yourself?" ”
Fu Ci smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Has the prince ever seen my half-sister Fu Qingman?" Cangxi nodded, and Fu Ci continued: "The prince said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a person who can calm down. The last time you claimed to the public that I was lingering on the sickbed, but the prince never contacted Wang Xiaoxiao in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, didn't the prince feel strange? ”
Cangxi nodded, this thing is indeed strange. Previously, Cangxi also felt that there must be some celebrity chivalrous warrior behind him to assist Zhou Zeyi or give Zhou Ze as a military advisor, could it be that this resourceful person is Fu Ci's half-sister Fu Qingman?
Soon, this idea was confirmed.
"Fu Qingman is very patient, not to mention, my position as the crown princess was calculated by her from me, I believe that my sister has this ability." Fu Ci added.
Cangxi didn't listen to a word of this, only heard Fu Ci say that her position as the crown princess was calculated by Fu Qingman.
Fu Ci was still chattering, and Cangxi interrupted: "Do you really think that the position of the crown princess is very important?" ”
Fu Ci was confused, when did he rarely become the crown princess?
Cangxi still didn't intend to retract this topic, and asked, "If you marry the crown prince today, will you also give him advice?" ”
Fu Ci finally understood, this prince of Xi is now soaked in the vinegar jar.
"Lord Wang, there are some things I will only say to you once, please listen clearly and remember them." Fu Ci said, climbed up to Cangxi's neck with both hands, kissed Cangxi's lips like a chicken pecking rice, and then stroked to Cangxi's ear, and whispered: "I only like the prince, and I only help the prince to give advice." ”
Cangxi took advantage of the situation and turned Fu Ci in front of him, "It's this king who is stingy", Fu Ci smiled, and just wanted to comfort Cangxi but was interrupted by him.
"It's not that the king doesn't trust you, but he doesn't believe in himself. I'm afraid that this king won't be able to give you the life you want. Cangxi said.
Fu Ci, who can make Cangxi say that he is afraid, is still the first. Fu Ci didn't know much about Cangxi's past, and he didn't know how difficult it was to say the word "afraid" from the mouth of this Xi prince, but Fu Ci was somewhat relieved and at a loss when he heard this.
It is gratifying that this man who holds her in the palm of his hand has been taking care of himself all his life.
At a loss, she didn't know what kind of life she wanted, and how should Cangxi give it to her?
Fu Ci wants a comfortable life, but the matter between his mother and Diancha has not been clarified, how can Fu Ci leave it alone?
Fu Ci also wants to make some achievements like a man in this era when you are fighting for me. However, the country of Chengzhou has always been unkind to women.
The streets of Jinling City looked a little desolate after several heavy rains.
Zhou Ze rode through this street and returned to the Prince's Mansion and went straight to Huayue Tower.
Before this, Zhou Ze originally wanted to discuss the northwest issue with General Zhenbei. However, when he heard the news of Song Qingyue's illness, he was still sorry to say goodbye to General Zhenbei.
"How?" As soon as Zhou Ze entered the door, he asked the imperial physician Xue Chengbao.
After Xue Chengbao saw Zhou Ze, he just wanted to kneel down and salute, but was stopped by Zhou Ze, "How is Song Liangyuan asking you?" ”
Xue Chengbao didn't speak, sighed, glanced at Song Qingyue, who had just fallen asleep, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Zhou Ze nodded and took Xue Chengbao to the side hall, "I want to hear the truth." ”
Zhou Ze's words put Xue Chengbao in a dilemma. If you tell a lie, you will eventually be exposed; To tell the truth, what if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince starts a fire and makes him die?
"You can rest assured and boldly say that Lone will not implicate innocent people." Zhou Ze seemed to have penetrated Xue Chengbao's thoughts.
Hearing this, Xue Chengbao hurriedly knelt in front of Zhou Ze and said, "As the previous Imperial Doctor Xu said, Mrs. Song will not live for more than a year. ”
Xue Chengbao looked up at Zhou Ze's face, and stopped talking a little. Zhou Ze closed his eyes and said, "If the medical skills of all the imperial doctors in the entire Tai Hospital are put together, how long can Song Liangyuan's life be saved?" ”
Xue Chengbao sighed and said, "Wechen and the Tai Hospital, together with Mrs. Song, will not live for a year." ”
Zhou Ze didn't speak again, and he didn't let Xue Chengbao get up.
