Chapter 124-125 The Little Prince | Entry
As soon as Jiang Zhizhou heard that he was going to live with Uncle Qingyang, he was a hundred unwilling in his heart, if it weren't for Su Xueniang making a mess of his house for King Xiao, how could he have no power to fight back now?
You must know that he is not less greedy for ink in Zhuozhou, even if he can't collide with King Xiao's private soldiers, he can spend money to eliminate disasters, not to mention those private soldiers, he helped raise them from the beginning.
However, since it was the Queen Mother who spoke, Jiang Zhizhou took a large family to live in Qingyang Bofu with peace of mind.
At this time, Qingyang Bo already knew that Jiang Zhizhou and King Xiao had a falling out.
Now he only has one son left, and in the hands of King Xiao, it is not good to ignore it.
So he didn't look for someone to send a letter to King Xiao, and by the way, he arranged the most dilapidated courtyard in the mansion for Jiang Zhizhou and others.
Qingyang Bo said in his heart, even if he brought so many servants, it should not be a problem to repair a courtyard.
However, Jiang Zhizhou and his entourage hurried and hurried, slept in the open air, and traveled tirelessly, especially the servants, who basically followed the car all the way, where did they have the strength to clean up the courtyard for Jiang Zhizhou again?
Seeing the almost collapsed house in front of him, Jiang Zhizhou couldn't wait to find Qingyang Bo theory on the spot, but after thinking about it, he had already taken refuge in the Queen Mother, and he still had a subtle connection with King Xiao, so he was stunned and suppressed his anger, and swallowed his broken teeth into his stomach.
Jiang Zhizhou thought that Empress Dowager Cui must be sent by the imperial court and would not be in the same stream as King Xiao, but how did he know that there were many dirty things in the court.
As the emperor's mother, Empress Dowager Cui had no closeness to her grandson. The emperor is not her own, let alone the young prince?
It is also a secret matter in the court, originally the Empress Dowager Cui was not the first emperor's favorite queen candidate, not to mention that the first emperor had a wife before he ascended the throne. It's just that his wife and children disappeared in the turmoil, and after ascending the throne, he had to set up a new queen.
Empress Dowager Cui also pretended to be pregnant at this time, and as soon as the turmoil in the DPRK and China subsided, she spread the news that she was pregnant, and everyone in the world said that this was an auspicious omen of heaven and blessed the court to sit firmly for a hundred years.
The lies intensified, and the Empress Dowager Cui finally had to take a baby boy from Cui's family outside the palace on the day of the feigned birth to stabilize her position as the queen.
I thought that the struggle in the palace was fierce, and this child would unfortunately die one day. Who knew that the emperor had a great life and lived until a few days ago.
Empress Dowager Cui sat in her palace, stroked the cold pearl on her head with her hand, and muttered: "Mother and son are also the fate of you and me." If it hadn't been for your sister begging me, I would have done so. ”
It doesn't matter if he is a man or a woman, whether he is born to the emperor himself, and the child who has his own heart is the most suitable emperor.
The sixth princess and the queen mother are connected by blood, and their ideas and behaviors coincide.
Empress Dowager Cui tapped the table with her long nails, and then patted it lightly twice, and a little eunuch came in from outside to listen to the order.
Empress Dowager Cui beckoned, and the little eunuch went over, and the two whispered for a while, and the little eunuch nodded and retreated.
As soon as the little eunuch went out, a palace maid happened to come to report, saying that the little prince had come to greet the Empress Dowager Cui.
"This is in a hurry to replace his father's throne." The corners of Empress Dowager Cui's mouth were crooked, but there was no trace of warmth in her eyes.
"Grandson greets the imperial grandmother." The prince's immature voice accompanied his forehead on the ground, tickling the hearts of those who scratched it.
As soon as Empress Dowager Cui raised her hand, the little prince leaned over, and then was held in his arms.
The young doll's eyes were clear, and An An sat on her grandmother's lap. Empress Dowager Cui was like teasing a cat and dog, plucked it from her head and shook it in front of the little prince's eyes.
The little prince didn't know what Empress Dowager Cui meant, he only knew that his grandmother teased him, and he was about to laugh, so he let out a happy "giggle" laugh.
Empress Dowager Cui squinted her eyes and said slowly, "What about Concubine Liang?" ”
"The concubine was outside, and she said that she was afraid of disturbing your purity, so she didn't come in."
"It's a clever one." No wonder the emperor was coaxed to make the crown prince so early.
She didn't say the next words, and the little prince thought that it was the imperial grandmother who praised his mother, so he lowered his head shyly and smiled gently.
Empress Dowager Cui put the step in his hand and said to him: "This is the emperor's grandmother's reward to your mother's concubine, take it to her, accompany your mother's concubine to the imperial garden for a walk, the emperor's new funeral, presumably she is also bored." ”
The crown prince is young, and he can't see the busy emperor very much, so naturally he doesn't have any deep feelings, but he sees his mother's sadness in his eyes, and when he hears this, he nodded sensibly, and said goodbye from the queen mother.
Empress Dowager Cui summoned the people who were waiting, and ordered them to accompany the mother and son to the imperial garden.
Concubine Liang originally wanted to be lazy, but she couldn't do it if she didn't go. The step shake in his hand is also heavy. The Queen Mother has always been very deep in the city, she can't figure it out, and she can only listen to orders.
The mother and son walked slowly to the side of the imperial garden.
After a while, a eunuch seemed to be in a hurry to do something, and ran towards the crowd in a hurry, and saw the little prince and didn't stop, Concubine Liang was afraid that he would bump into the prince, so she subconsciously protected her, and the eunuch rampage, staggering Concubine Liang.
In this hurry, Concubine Liang flew to the pool on the side.
"Oh, this is the Queen Mother's reward!"
A palace maid sent by Empress Dowager Cui immediately screamed, and her tone was quite reproachful. But the eunuch had already run away, and he didn't even look back.
Concubine Liang also felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, and hurriedly ordered people to go into the water to fish, while she stood by the pool and kept watching.
"Go inside, go inside!"
She stood at the water's edge and waved the silk handkerchief in her hand anxiously, for fear that the palace people who went into the water would not be able to find it, and if she upset the queen mother, she and her son would have no hope.
Just as she was thinking wildly, a group of people sent by the Queen Mother surrounded her, and she didn't know who it was, as if she had inadvertently touched Concubine Liang's back.
only heard a "plop" sound, and Concubine Liang fell into the water.
The little prince still wanted to drag his mother, but who knew that he also felt a burst of warmth on his back, and he couldn't help but fall into the pool after his mother with the thrust.
Now everyone shouted, and the patrolling guards were also called, but it was too late to go into the water again.
Concubine Liang and the little prince inexplicably swung to the middle of the lake, and after a short time, they floated face down.
The first person to go into the water to salvage Bu Shao, took advantage of the time when the guards went into the water to rescue and had no time to take care of the surrounding situation, he secretly went ashore from the rockery by the lake, and sneaked away through the empty stone crack.
The emperor died, the crown prince drowned, and in a short period of time, two catastrophes occurred, like stones thrown into a calm lake, which instantly stirred up a thousand waves.
From the capital to the outside, no one is talking about it.
The news of turmoil in the government and the opposition and the decline of the royal family was spread in the streets, and the entire capital was filled with the atmosphere of depression and slaughter.
The first emperor had many children, but almost all of them died, some died young, some died in battle, and some even died accidentally when the new emperor ascended the throne, or were executed for rebellion.
Now that the emperor has died, there is only one princess left in the orthodoxy of the first emperor.
I don't know who mentioned it first, anyway, there was a storm of the six princesses as emperors from the government and the opposition.
Coincidentally, at this time, Ouyang Shaoqian received an edict from the Queen Mother, ordering him to let the six princesses and her party enter the city and enter Beijing no matter what.
This is really a dilemma.
Ouyang Shaoqian carefully recalled all the news he had obtained before and after the emperor's death, and his eyes gradually became clearer.
Could it be that the rumors that my father once resisted so much really came true?
In this way, everything I am facing now is not worth mentioning compared to what I think in my heart.
Ning Xiang didn't know the actual situation yet, but on the outskirts of the city, she heard that Ouyang Shaoqian had made concessions, opened the city gate and let Xiao Qian and the six princesses in, and allowed them to bring 20,000 elite soldiers, which was really a little frightened.
"What's going on?" Jiang Yueyue bit the silk handkerchief in her hand fiercely with her teeth, and couldn't figure it out, "Doesn't this let the six princesses take the lead?" ”
Ning Xiang silently boiled the fetal pills for Jiang Yueyue, and did not answer, Jiang Yueyue looked at it with a depression in her eyes.
"You are talking, if you don't speak, my heart is even more panicked." Jiang Yueyue urged, as if she was just waiting for Ning Xiang to say something to calm her fluctuating mood.
However, Ning Xiang hadn't received a message from Ouyang Shaoqian, and she really didn't dare to reveal anything to Jiang Yueyue, so she could only say something indifferently: "Miss, don't panic." ”
"King Xiao is so angry that he is sick in bed, I have been taking care of it for a long time, and there is still a burden in my stomach, when will such a day be the end."
Jiang Yueyue sat on the bed dejectedly, spreading her hands and weeping.
It seems that she is emotionally unstable during pregnancy, Jiang Yueyue has been sentimental these days, and Ning Xiang is inconvenient to do anything, just get more delicious things that can be eaten by pregnant women and coax them.
"Miss, what do you think in your heart?" Ning Xiang wanted to ask clearly in advance before she could plan.
"I thought that King Xiao could succeed, so it doesn't matter whose seed I have in my stomach. But who knew that another six princesses would emerge, but a woman, and she still had the support of the court. ”
Jiang Yueyue unloaded, only feeling that she had played a bad hand.
Ning Xiang's brows also furrowed, the current situation was getting more and more complicated, and she couldn't think of any way out.
"Oh no, King Xiao can't do it!"
There was a shouting outside, but it was the people below who panicked.
Ning Xiang hurriedly helped Jiang Yueyue trot all the way, and hurried to King Xiao's bed.
On the pretext of checking King Xiao's situation, Ning Xiang took advantage of no one to find out, secretly touched King Xiao's pulse and found that King Xiao's heart was disordered.
Looking around, Ning Xiang saw a person who wasn't supposed to be here.
"Uncle?" Jiang Yueyue also saw Su Changyao standing next to the bed.
The man's thin figure, standing in the dark next to the bed, made people not even notice his breath, and I don't know how much torture he had suffered to get to his current appearance.
Ning Xiang saw Su Changyao's appearance as a hanged ghost, and then thought of King Xiao's state at the moment, and had to be suspicious.
But Su Changyao looked sadder than everyone in the room.
"Alas, destiny does not bless my father."
The corners of Ning Xiang's mouth twitched, does this guy recognize King Xiao as his father? A man who cheated on his sister?
"Uncle, what are you talking about?" Jiang Yueyue was also taken aback, thinking that one of the few relatives of her was crazy.
Su Changyao ignored the two of them, and only said: "I knew that Xiao Qian was so unreliable, I shouldn't have listened to my father's words, I didn't care about anything, I just wanted to enjoy myself." ”
The corners of Ning Xiang's mouth twitched, this sounds like King Xiao killed Su Changyao, why does this product still look grateful?
Not long after, Lang Zhong came, looked at King Xiao's condition, shook his head, and even said bluntly: "Please prepare for the future earlier." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyue and Su Changyao's hearts were like ashes.
Ning Xiang had long known that this would be the result, so naturally she would not be surprised, so she only said politely: "Then please ask Lang Zhong to prescribe some medicine, the prince is blessed with a great life, maybe he will..."
Lang Zhong turned his head and sighed softly: "Alas, this is also how it should be." ”
As he spoke, he wrote a prescription.
Ning Xiangmat paid for the consultation, took the prescription easily, and found that it was just a simple sweat medicine, which just saved King Xiao from some pain when he died.
Fortunately, Ning Xiang only said it casually, and had no intention of using this recipe.
After explaining the top and bottom, Ning Xiang went to grab the medicine with the prescription, and what she got back was the prescription she had prepared, and it could also make King Xiao quite a moment when he returned to the light.
Unexpectedly, after only going to a stick of incense, and then returning to Zhuangzi, Jiang Yueyue and Su Changyao quarreled.
"You know that the prince was already unstable yesterday, and you told him this so directly, it was clearly intentional!" Jiang Yueyue was supported by several subordinates, and she couldn't let her accidentally hurt herself.
Su Changyao didn't take her seriously, and argued: "I was originally the one who delivered the message for the prince!" What's wrong with saying that?! ”
"Oh, my young lady, you don't have to be angry." Ning Xiang saw that Jiang Yueyue was about to talk back, so she hurriedly stopped her, and before she had time to put down the medicine bag, she hurriedly interrupted the two.
"Xiang'er, Xiao Qian, he took away all the elite soldiers and gave them to the six princesses, and the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled will stay in Zhuozhou, how can we live."
Ning Xiang was also stunned when she heard this, didn't she say that Xiao Qian and the six princesses would join forces to revolt and establish themselves as emperors? How did it come to this?
Immediately afterwards, I heard Su Changyao say: "Now that the sixth princess is the only blood and blood of the emperor, she naturally wants to inherit the unification, Xiao Qian has fallen on the princess tree, where can she still care about her father's life and death?" ”
Ning Xiang listened, she only felt that all this was changing too quickly, and she couldn't understand what Xiao Qian's thoughts were for a while.
"Miss, for the sake of today, I can only wait and see what happens."
"Wait and see? How do you want me to be quiet?! ”
Xu was too noisy, and King Xiao suddenly moved in the bed.
His voice was hoarse, as if he had aged much in an instant.
"Someone, bring pen and paper."
Seeing this, Ning Xiang hurriedly helped King Xiao up, put the medicine bag in front of King Xiao's eyes and shook it: "The prince lies down first, and then writes after drinking the medicine to have strength." ”
King Xiao didn't expect Ning Xiang to come over first, and his expression was a little stunned, but seeing that her eyes were full of care and tenderness, he couldn't help but want to listen to her.
