Chapter 250: No Backer
Old Man Yu snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it still harmful?" You've already assassinated the prince, haven't you done anything yet? Our Yu family has had close contacts with so many powerful people in the dynasty over the years, and you can't count the number of times you have interfered in the appointment and removal of officials, right? The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, from the capital to the locality, how many people can be said to be the disciples of our Yu family? You think you're just making friends and contacting courtiers, but it's not as simple as making friends! That's not what Your Majesty thinks! Now that I think about it, we did it wrong! As a courtier, you can't have friends with people who are also courtiers! ”
Lord Yu was shocked into a cold sweat at this time, knowing where he was wrong.
"So、、、 what are we going to do now? I went to His Majesty yesterday to cry out for injustice, didn't I hit the muzzle of the gun? So what do we do now? Will I be able to return to court? Lord Jade asked innocently.
Old Man Yu closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and said, "My stupid son, if you still want to live, resign first!" If you don't go back to the court, you have to have your life first! ”
"Dad, I don't understand 、、、"
"Why, after all these years of being an official, you have forgotten the truth of self-preservation? I don't know if the rapids are retreating? Since you have offended Your Majesty, you don't think about how to save your life, and you are still thinking about how to restore your official position, is there water in your mind? Is it that the peaceful life has been going on for a long time, and I don't know if it goes on like this, people will die! Old Man Yu said angrily.
Lord Yu actually didn't understand these truths, but he felt unwilling, and he was even more worried about his sister in the palace and the daughter of the East Palace, and he didn't know if he was not in the court, would they be in danger?
Lord Yu couldn't predict what would happen in the future, and he didn't know how to speculate on the holy will, so he could only sigh and say, "Father, I hope that this time we will save our lives, resign and save our lives, and we can respond to Your Majesty's thoughts, and we can really protect the Yu family!" ”
Early the next morning, Lord Yu handed over the fold, saying that he had suffered from wind and cold, injured his lungs, and needed to recuperate with peace of mind, and it was not suitable to be an official in the court, so he proposed to resign from the official, so as not to delay the state affairs due to his illness and be ashamed of His Majesty and the people.
Li Yun was polite at first, and rejected Lord Yu's intention for two consecutive days, and after Lord Yu resigned for the third time, Li Yun finally agreed to his request to resign.
With such a delay, the day has already reached the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.
In order not to make people think that he was too cold, Li Yun deliberately "opened his grace" so that the Yu family could still live in the capital and not have to return to their hometown.
When Yu Lanfang heard that her father had resigned, she was shocked, and hurriedly asked a maid to go back to ask what was going on, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see the person she sent back, so she was a little anxious, and was about to send someone out to have a look, when she saw a person next to Li Huaifeng who often called "Changxi" and took the maid she sent out into her yard.
Changxi saluted Yu Lanfang very politely, and said: "Yu Meiren is a slave who is not allowed to leave the East Palace by the way, the subordinates around you had better not go out of the East Palace at will, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble, and with the current status of the Jade Beauty, it will not be solved." The slave knew what the jade beauty was worried about, and His Royal Highness asked the slave to tell the beauty that the jade family is very good now, the beauty's father and the old man Yu are in a tough body, and they are still in a good mood, and they are not depressed because they have no official position. Your Majesty did not hold the Yu family accountable because they became civilians, and the things they had committed before were not held accountable now, and please don't toss the beauties, otherwise the Yu family is calm now, and they will all be tossed by the beauties! ”
Yu Lanfang was shocked in her heart, and still understood the meaning of Changxi, that is, let yourself settle down a little, and don't pursue why Lord Yu resigned, now everyone is safe and sound is the most important thing!
But how can Yu Lanfang be willing?
A large part of the reason why he was able to marry Li Huaifeng smoothly, and even had a great chance of becoming the crown princess, was because he had a strong mother's family. Now that the Yu family has fallen, isn't he without an advantage?
No matter how stupid Yu Lanfang is, she also knows that the battle for the throne not only has to fight for the princes' own strength, but also for the status of their women's maiden family. Her mother's family is strong and will become Li Huaifeng's right-hand man, helping him to walk smoothly on the road to the throne and governing the country.
But now that Lord Yu has resigned, he will no longer help Li Huaifeng in the future, so will Li Huaifeng still be good to himself?
Yu Lanfang didn't understand the court situation, she didn't understand the inside story of the marriage, she could only think of so much in a short time, but these were enough for her to panic. She doesn't have the backing of the Yu family, and it will be equivalent to completely losing power in the East Palace in the future, what she originally thought of, the plan of relying on the Yu family's comeback can't be implemented, Yu Lanfang was in a panic, and actually thought of making a desperate bet, first attack Lin Moran, if she wins, she may be able to fight and regain Li Huaifen's favor, even if she fails, can it be worse than now?
In Yu Lanfang's heart, she is like this, life is better than death, if she wants to be a low-status concubine for the rest of her life, after Li Huaifeng ascends the throne, she will be crowned a nobleman, look at people's faces, it is better to fight, even if it is dead, it is worth it!
So, Yu Lanfang prepared for two days, and on the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, she took a knife and a bag of poison and went to Lin Moran's yard.
Lin Moran's fetal elephant had already been raised, and there was no big problem, but Lin Moran was clean for a few days, and felt that the days when no one disturbed him were quite comfortable, so he didn't let people come to ask for peace, if it wasn't for Chinese New Year's Eve, as a crown princess, she had to perform some duties, Lin Moran still didn't want to see people.
The other women in the East Palace were very peaceful, and after the etiquette was thorough, they retreated to the side, they knew that today was the big day of Chinese New Year's Eve, even if Lin Moran was not in good health, there were still some things that had to be done, and he would go into the palace to ask for peace later, even if it was just a response, but he couldn't delay the hour.
Yu Lanfang was already a concubine, and when she saluted, she stood behind and said a few words with the crowd, but at this time, she just made a bird again, and said very abruptly: "Niangniang, do you feel better?" How about the medicine that the doctor prescribed to Niangniang? If it's not good, let's change to a doctor. ”
"Don't bother with it, my body is still good, and this imperial doctor's medical skills are very good." Lin Moran said perfunctorily.
Yu Lanfang continued to smile and said: "When the concubine is at home, the aunts in the family are also pregnant, and sometimes they are unwell, and they are eating something called 'deer placenta cream', which is said to be a great supplement for women, so why don't you try it too?" ”
