Chapter Eighty-Six: Hints
Cao Tingyue didn't say anything more along the way, but he felt a little embarrassed and a little strange.
Even after the storyteller, Cao Tingyu's face never got better, and after he said that he was going back, he always seemed to be preoccupied.
Chi Chi couldn't help but turn his head and look at him again, and then asked, "Yes...... What's the matter? ”
Cao Ting came back to his senses and showed a smile, "No, why did Your Highness say this?" ”
Chi Chi turned around, his tone changed a little, "It's nothing, I just feel like you're a little unhappy." ”
Cao Tingyue shook his head, "No, I just thought of something else." ”
Chi Chi asked him, "What's the matter?" Can't you talk to me? ”
It's not that you can't talk to her, it's just that to put it bluntly, it's not really useful to talk to her.
Because the more Cao Ting listened to the story of the storytelling just now, the more he felt that there seemed to be another way in it, not to say anything else, but to refer to the hints in it.
Cao Ting's people in the Dongchang factory naturally know best how powerful the so-called public opinion pressure is, and even if the current emperor is a speaker, he has to listen to the voices of some ordinary people more or less, otherwise he will be easily impeached by the officials.
So is this storyteller's words just a fabricated story of the emperor and his concubine?
Cao Tingyue felt that this was not the case.
The more he listened, the more he felt that this seemed to be hinting at today's East Factory.
Now the status of Dongchang can be said to be well known, that is one person under ten thousand people, even if it is the queen, when she sees Ji Jia, the governor of Dongchang, she may have to give a little thin face, just because the emperor is particularly fond of Ji Jia, and even regards him as the most trusted person.
This is like the concubine in the story, no matter what he does behind his back, at least for now he is the emperor's most trusted and closest person, and the power of the East Factory can cover the sky with one hand.
This inevitably makes people feel panicked, and some people are even wondering if this Chen country is still the world of the Chen family.
At this time, the storyteller talked about how unkind those relatives were, and how the country perished after that.
This is not a matter of love and love at all, it is simply a hint that if Dongchang continues to do evil like this, Chen Guo's world will be finished sooner or later.
Nowadays, in this kind of place where the emperor must pass through if he comes to Huguo Temple, such a big spread of this kind of content may not reach the ears of the emperor, so if it comes to that time, I am afraid that the emperor may open the knife to Dongchang.
It's not that Cao Tingyue is loyal to the East Factory, it's just that he knows the current situation, that is, he can have the present, almost all of me are from the East Factory, if the East Factory is destroyed, then he is nothing, nothing.
This is enough to make Cao Tingyue be careful.
He looked down and could see Chi Chi's big black eyes, which were still shining with questions, and he was silent for a moment, not knowing how to talk to her.
Even if he knew in his heart that the delay was not the ignorance and cowardice she showed, even if he told her such a thing, it would not help anything, and even it would only be a source of trouble for her.
He smiled, "I thought of some official matters, and I didn't mention them to His Highness." ”
He didn't want to say it after a long time, and if he didn't want to say it, she didn't have to know.
But once he felt that he actually had a secret in his heart and refused to tell her, it was inevitable that he would be a little unhappy.
And this unpleasantness continued until she returned to Huguo Temple, and entered the courtyard through the back door, and Cao Tingyue returned to her courtyard with ease.
Whether this matter is big or small, Cao Tingyue has something in his heart, so he thought that he should go back to Dongchang as soon as possible to discuss this matter with others, so after sending it to Chi Chi, he didn't stay long and left soon.
Seeing his eagerness, he had to say that it was okay, and Chi Chi felt even more unhappy.
She called Ah Wei in, and when Ah Wei saw her at the door, he almost knelt down, but he quickly turned around and closed the door, and then hurriedly walked to Chi Chi's side, his tone sank a lot, "Your Highness!" Where the hell have you gone, the slave maid who entered your house early in the morning did not see you, you know that the slave and maid are really going to be scared to death. ”
Chi Chi laughed, "Didn't I leave you a note, didn't you see it?" ”
"Even if you see it, you're scared!" Ah Wei sighed, "Your Highness, if you go anywhere in the future, even if you can't bring the slave and maid, can't you say a word to the slave and maid in person?" I was almost going to make a big mess this morning. ”
Chi Chi frowned, "What kind of mess can there be." ”
Ah Wei said, "But just after breakfast in the morning, Prince Beiyin came over. ”
sighed slowly, "He's so dignified, why did he come here again?" ”
Awei shook his head, "The slave doesn't know either, she only said that she came to see His Highness." The slave didn't know how to get rid of it, so she said that His Royal Highness had committed another illness, and now he couldn't get out of bed, but I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see the prince. ”
Chi Chi nodded, "You're doing a good job." And then he left after that? ”
Ah Wei responded, "Yes, I originally said that I wanted to call the doctor over there to show His Highness, but the slave and maid hurriedly refused, His Royal Highness the Prince is really very interesting, why do you always like to run to our side, didn't Your Highness say it?" It is not good for us to get close to His Royal Highness the Prince, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, who will still provoke us, will be dissatisfied with us, but there is nothing we can do, the prince himself always takes the initiative to run here. ”
Chi lowered his eyes, as if he was also thinking about this problem, she and the prince of Beiyin were actually not familiar with each other, and they had only met so many times, compared to Jiahe, who was definitely far inferior, but he seemed to be particularly interested in her, and came repeatedly.
But he didn't know what was in her to make him curious.
"Let's go and decoct the medicine, and smoke our yard to a medicinal atmosphere."
Awei nodded, and then asked, "What does Your Highness mean ......?"
"Since you said that I am sick, if there is no medicine in this courtyard, this lie is too false, starting tomorrow, if the prince comes again, you don't need my orders, you go to find a maid and invite Jiahe, just say that I invite her to tea."
"Your Royal Highness wants to ......" isn't this too straightforward to please Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess.
But Chi Chi seemed to be extremely tired, and he didn't want to say anything, so he just waved his hand and told Ah Wei to go down, and then went to sleep for a while.
-
Kunning Palace.
The queen didn't sleep well all night, and when she got up in the morning, she kept saying that she had a headache, and Mama Li invited the doctor to come to see her for the first time, but the doctor said that it was a headache, or she could only take some medicine, but there was no way to do it.
Mama Li asked the little palace maid to send the imperial doctor away, and she couldn't help sighing, "Niangniang, you also have to relax, after going down to the Huguo Temple from the Fourth Princess's Royal Highness, you can't sleep day and night, and if you go on like this, your own body will not be able to bear it." ”
The queen sighed, and then waved her hand, "This palace also wants to have a good rest, but this heart, even if it is seven up and down, no matter how it is, it can't slow down, and naturally it can't sleep at night." ”
Mama Li knocked the queen's leg, "Didn't you already order the second princess to go up the mountain?" Their sister-in-law should always be able to talk about it. ”
The queen shook her head, "Jiahe has never liked this sister-in-law, how can she be willing to listen to her easily, I am afraid that if she thinks that this palace has deliberately found someone to stare at her, she will be even more unhappy." Mama, do you feel that Jiahe has changed a lot over the years? ”
Mama Li was silent and didn't dare to speak, but the queen didn't seem to want her answer, so she continued, "Yes, can it be the same?" Even Ah Qin killed her, even if she was willful in the past, she would never be like this, what went wrong. ”
Mama Li said, "Niangniang, Your Highness is old, it is inevitable that you will have your own ideas, and you must also want to get some ideas by yourself, and killing Ah Qin, the slave and maid heard about it, it was just a misunderstanding, His Royal Highness is young, how do you know that those boards fell and killed people, I can only blame that Ah Qin has not regarded himself as a slave since he was a child, and he is too pampered, so that's it." ”
The queen is comfortable to listen to, after all, no one who is a mother wants her daughter to be a ruthless person, so she is more able to accept this so-called misunderstanding.
The queen's eyebrows stretched a little, "Is there anything from the second daughter-in-law?" ”
Mama Li thought for a while, "It's nothing more than those common things, but it is said that once the people on the mountain were all enjoying the flowers and cooking tea together, not only her and Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, but also the Fifth Princess and the Prince of Beiyin." ”
"Jinyang?" The queen frowned, and then said, "That's right, the palace is going to forget, and she is still on the Huguo Temple, no wonder the palace says that this palace is much more comfortable." ”
Mama Li nodded, "Yes, she was the first to go up, and now it has been a long time, not to mention Niangniang, the old slave is afraid that His Majesty has forgotten." ”
"Forget it, forget it, forget it's best."
The queen snorted, "There's no news coming back?" ”
Mama Li glanced at the queen a little embarrassed, "There is nothing on the side." ”
Sure enough, the queen was not very happy in an instant, "This palace has long said that this person is not good, and it is not exciting to look at it on weekdays, even if she is asked to do such a small thing, if it weren't for my son's repeated maneuvers in front of this palace, this palace would have been unable to bear this princess, and now it is just a princess who can't take on a heavy responsibility, if it is ...... in the future"
The queen slapped the table, "What is the use of such a person?" ”
There was silence outside Kunning Palace, and there were some words that the queen really couldn't be heard by anyone, even Mama Li, who was the most close, lowered her head and pretended not to hear it.
