Chapter 229: Ruthless (3)
After returning to her palace for a long time, she really didn't come out, not only did she not come out, but even when others came to see her, she didn't see her.
This lasted for three days.
In the past three days, a lot of things have happened.
Among them, the matter in Jiangzhou is finally not as serious as it once was, the emperor detained Ji Cheng'an and sentenced him to beheading, without any mercy.
And many of the people actually just want such an answer, and now that they have gotten it, they will naturally no longer refuse to give up, and the wave of people who originally refused to give up will gradually fade away.
And before closing the door for a long time, he also asked someone to bring a letter to the eldest prince, which was very simple, and there was only one word on it, that is, "wait".
In fact, when the eldest prince received this letter, he was still entangled for a long time, what the word "wait" meant.
He had written the letter for Chi Chi before and went to the palace, and he had always been worried, but he was very worried, for fear that the emperor would think that he really had something to do with the concubine, and if he was to find him this trouble again, he would even have to consider whether he would confess Chi Chi.
But fortunately, none of this happened, and the letter he wrote was more like a stone sinking into the sea, without a single movement or reaction, as if the emperor had not received the letter.
And it was just when he was very upset that he received the letter.
Tell him to wait.
He was entangled, but fortunately it was his advisor who spoke at this time, "Your Highness, your subordinates feel that Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess means to tell Her Highness to respond to all changes with no change." ”
The eldest prince frowned at him, "What do you mean by this?" ”
The subordinate said, "If you go back to Your Highness, now Your Highness is waiting outside, just worried that Your Majesty may not find His Highness again, if it is someone else, he will definitely want it, and he must find some way to do something, so that the future days will be better." ”
The eldest prince thought about it and nodded, of course normal people would do this.
Whether it is to ask the official to go to His Majesty to help him intercede, or to find the power of the harem to go to His Majesty to blow the wind by the pillow or something, it is okay, but at least this thing has to be done.
In the old way, I thought that at least we couldn't sit still.
If this letter doesn't come for a long time, it is possible that he will really have to think of another way.
After all, the eldest prince has worked hard in the previous dynasty for so many years, how can he not have any power in his hands?
How could he bet all on Chi Chi, Chi Chi was just one of his parts, and this was just right, some of the things he had done before Chi Chi did work for him, so he was willing to continue to communicate with Chi Chi continuously.
Otherwise, their brother and sister were just not relatives, and it would be good to be able to nod when they met.
But now the letter is belated.
The meaning is to say - let the eldest prince do nothing, sit and wait first.
Who can easily wait for this.
The eldest prince pursed his lips, "If we keep waiting, maybe we will fall into passivity, if we fall into passivity...... Maybe the second prince will ...... at this time"
"Your Highness, it's better to listen to Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess." His subordinates thought about it, and decided to persuade him, "We don't know too much about the situation in the palace, but now that this is the case, we can't make Your Majesty more and more disgusted with us, it's better to be careful at this time." ”
He smiled, "As for the second prince, Your Highness can rest assured, he definitely doesn't have the time to take care of these things now." ”
The eldest prince frowned, "What's wrong with him?" ”
"Your Highness still doesn't know? Just this morning, the father-in-law fell ill, and when the husband of the country found out, he was already unconscious, and the imperial doctors went wave after wave, but there was no news until now. ”
The eldest prince's eyes widened, "Something happened to the prince?" ”
Guozhang has always been in good health, and it is customary to say that he is old and strong, and he has never heard of when he is sick.
This time, it's not just sick, but it's so serious?
The eldest prince nodded, "That's true, now I'm afraid he doesn't have the time to take care of other things." ”
It is inconvenient for the queen to leave the palace, and the Tonggong is just a second prince who can go to the Guozhang Mansion to visit, but I am afraid that she is really going to serve like her own grandson.
The eldest prince is a little relieved now.
It turned out that there was no external trouble, so he was told to wait, but it was not that he couldn't wait.
The eldest prince groaned, and then nodded, "Okay, then this king will wait first to see what this imperial sister of mine is telling me to wait for." ”
In fact, whether it is the eldest prince or his vassals, there is always an inexplicable sense of trust in Chi Chi in his heart.
Of course, whether they believe in Chi Chi or not, it doesn't matter for Chi Chi.
I don't believe that the one who will suffer in the end anyway is just the eldest prince, and if it's late, she knows.
As long as Ji Chengan's affairs are completely handled, the emperor will forgive the eldest prince.
After all, the eldest prince is the emperor's own son, and he is still the eldest son, because he helped write a letter for a long time, but made the emperor feel that the eldest prince was not serious before, but a little straight.
When these two are added together, it is easy to come up with an answer.
That is, the emperor will soon forgive the eldest prince.
Just when she knew that Guozhang had an accident, she knew that she was afraid that Cao Ting would do more and more.
But Ah Wei didn't know, and she didn't know what she was talking about when she went out with Cao Tingyu that day.
"Your Highness, why did this country's father-in-law fall down suddenly?"
Putting down the teacup for a long time, he smiled, "Good and good?" Guozhang is not too young now, oh how old is it? ”
Awei thought for a moment and said, "It seems like it's already in your sixties." ”
More than sixty, you must know that the ancient people are rare in their seventies.
This is more than sixty, which is already considered an advanced age.
"Then if you think about his age, it's not uncommon for something to happen. Maybe I didn't sleep well at night, and I woke up too violently in the morning, and I don't know if I fell down all at once. ”
"Where is such a thing?" Awei felt amazing, "I look very healthy on weekdays, and I still look extremely strong, but I fell down like this, it's really impermanent." ”
Although Ah Wei knew that the queen and them were opposites, he still couldn't help but sigh, "Now is the time when the second prince and the queen mother are in a special crisis, and now the princess has fallen, but really, the queen mother must not know what to do." ”
Chi Chi glanced at her, "The queen still needs you to worry?" ”
"Not really." Awei pursed his lips and said embarrassedly, "Because the slave maid has been sold into the palace since she was a child, her parents are thin, and occasionally I see Her Royal Highness go down to see Concubine Jing, although she doesn't say it when she comes out, she always has red eyes." There is always family affection between mother and daughter. At the age of the queen's mother, as Her Royal Highness said, the father-in-law is old, but I am afraid that I don't know if there will be tomorrow. Maybe it's just sick today, and it's really bad tomorrow, which is really unbearable for people of the queen's age. ”
Awe's meaning was slow to understand.
It's not that the queen depends on this lord because of the fight or something.
It's that the prince is the queen's father, which the queen doesn't want to see anyway.
But there are many things that you can't decide by yourself, including the aging and death of your parents.
I thought so.
After she crossed over, the things in her previous life seemed to be the past, and she originally wanted to leave everything behind and forget everything.
But it's just that every time she dreams about her parents in the middle of the night.
She left like this, and they don't know how big a blow it was.
But it's often so cruel, and not everything in the world can go your way.
The queen was also in a hurry to die because of the father-in-law's affairs, and she thought about going out to visit several times.
But she doesn't need to be persuaded by others, she also knows that it's not a matter of going out yet.
Now that the matter in Jiangzhou has just happened, the emperor can be regarded as just relieved, and now it is best that no one should look for his unhappiness.
When the emperor had an accident, the emperor had already sent several batches of imperial doctors to go as soon as possible, but most of them were only given strokes.
But in the final analysis, Guozhang's age is already not young, and he is working hard every day, and it doesn't seem strange that he has a stroke.
It's just that the queen cried in Kunning Palace, saying, "It's probably the palace that hurt my father, if it weren't for the palace's uselessness, my father wouldn't have to work hard for the palace like this, and the hard work of this day will be like this in the end." ”
Mama Li naturally could only comfort, "What does this have to do with Niangniang, this matter of God's disaster, this is not about anyone who can't avoid it." Besides, our father-in-law Ye Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they must be fine if they think about it. ”
Although it was so comforting, the queen was still not at ease.
First of all, he sent a message out to tell the second prince to serve by the side of the prince, and if there was anything wrong, he would report to Kunning Palace as soon as possible.
This is also so that the queen has a mental preparation or something.
The next day, only after the third watch, someone hurriedly knocked on the palace door and said that he wanted to see the queen.
But the palace has already been keyed, and the palace door has been closed, and it is impossible to open it again.
But the man knelt at the door and shouted, only saying that the father-in-law was going to be bad, but he was afraid that it was really going to be bad.
By the time the news reached Kunning Palace, it was already dawn.
And the queen was in a hurry to go out, so the emperor naturally didn't stop him, but allowed it.
It's just that as soon as the queen's sedan chair left the palace, there was another urgent sound of horses' hooves.
The queen became more and more uneasy, and sure enough, someone knelt down directly in front of the queen, and said directly, "Niangniang...... Guozhang, Guozhang he ......"
"What's wrong with him?!"
"The national lord is gone, and the mother's day is mourning."
