Su Ying finally agreed to apply needles to Zhu Houzhao every day to suppress the toxins of the frost jade cold lotus, but it could only be delayed for half a month, so Zhu Houzhao could only last until the end of March. After Su Ying finished applying the needle, she was arranged by the chamberlain to be placed in a leopard room.

Jiang Yuyan was signaled by Zhu Houzhao to stay.

Gu Dayong, who was busy with the recovery of the West Factory, was also edicted in, Cao Zhengchun was still kneeling, his old face was pale, Zhu Houzhao didn't let him get up, he didn't dare to make any moves.

Gu Dayong bowed down and held a tray with two delicately carved sandalwood boxes, Zhu Houzhao's pain was much lessened, he pulled Jiang Yuyan with one hand, pointed to the tray, and said, "You can open it yourself." ”

Jiang Yuyan was stunned for a moment, vaguely guessed something, hurriedly weighed it, took a box, opened it and saw that it was indeed a bright yellow edict.

She turned her head to look at Zhu Houzhao and hesitated, "Your Majesty, this?" ”

Zhu Houzhao coughed lightly, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, cough." ”

Jiang Yuyan slowly unfolded the edict, she probably took a look, the edict said that the emperor's eldest son Zhu Zaiyuan was the crown prince, Jiang Yuyan was very happy in her heart, her son is the future lord of the Ming Dynasty! No one can abuse her anymore. For a while, Jiang Yuyan actually had some regrets, regretting that Jiang Liu's (Jiang Beihe's wife) died too early and did not wait for her revenge!

She wanted to laugh unbridledly, but she couldn't yet, pressing the vigorous emotions in her heart, she turned her head to Zhu Houzhao, her voice trembled slightly, as if choked: "Yuyan would rather be the prince than this prince, just ask Your Majesty to spoil Yuyan for a long time." As he spoke, he buried his head in Zhu Houzhao's chest again, so that no one could see the emotion in her eyes.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know the emotions in her heart, but said that she really didn't love the wrong person. He stroked Jiang Yuyan's back and said slowly: "These two edicts, one is to canonize Qi'er as the crown prince, and the other is to make you the queen. Before the words were finished, I saw Jiang Yuyan in her arms quickly raise her head and look at Zhu Houzhao, her eyes were full of shock and confusion, and said, "Your Majesty? The concubine cannot afford to be the queen. ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "There is nothing I can't afford, the concubine is empathetic, virtuous and virtuous, and gave birth to a dragon heir for the Ming Dynasty, cough cough, I originally intended to make you the queen, I originally thought that I would control Kyushu, and love the concubine's mother and the world, but it's a pity" His expression returned to gloomy: "It's a pity that there are rebellious ministers and thieves who do evil, and conspire to rebel." That's what delayed you. cough, these two wills are not issued for the time being, and I have to clean up the aftermath first, so that I can rest assured! ”

Zhu Houzhao said this, and Jiang Yuyan couldn't refute it anymore, so she had to say yes. Her heart is actually full of excitement, although she is very moved by Zhu Houzhao's love for her, Jiang Yuyan's favorite has always been herself! She's always been a selfish person!

Zhu Hou looked at Gu Dayong and said, "Gu Daban! ”

Gu Dayong's waist bent even more, and he replied: "The slave is here." ”

Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice: "The West Factory is reopened, and we can't do nothing." cough, the people who are waiting in this leopard room, except for the henchmen who you are sure to have no problem, are all arrested in the West Factory; There are also too hospitals, all of them have been arrested, interrogated well, and those who have problems are submitted; The same is true in the palace, and it is necessary to check the spies of each family in the palace; Ahem, send someone again, and keep an eye on Zhang Yong's movements for me, I have to know what he says and what he does every day, and who he meets. ”

Gu Dayong was shocked in his heart, their servants were called the "Eight Tigers" these days, and their reputation in the court and the people was indeserved. But among the notorious Eight Tigers, there is a different Zhang Yong, who is known as a virtuous person in the clear stream, and those Wenchen can still look at him squarely.

Gu Dayong and Liu Jin were served by Zhu Houzhao during the period of the prince, and Zhu Houzhao trusted these two people the most among the inner servants, but unfortunately after Liu Jin was killed, Gu Dayong also fell silent, but Zhang Yong, who exposed Liu Jin's rebellion at that time, sat in the position of the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor.

Gu Da knew that it must be Zhang Yong who got too close to the civil officials, which made the emperor suspicious. Now that the emperor has been poisoned for a short time, he naturally began to constantly suspect who was plotting to kill him, and the good reputation that Zhang Yong deliberately created on weekdays in order to get a good death has become the current talisman.

His mind was full of thoughts, and it did not prevent Gu Dayong from responding to the emperor's orders, and he said respectfully: "The slave and maid obey the emperor's orders!" "In the next period of time, the prestige of the West Factory will inevitably make people hear about it.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Cao Zhengchun at this time, and felt Cao Zhengchun trembling slightly, he has been serving the Holy Driver all these years, and the poisoning of the emperor is his mistake, he has just taken charge of the East Factory, and he doesn't want to die yet.

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and said, "Don't kneel, get up." "Cao Zhengchun is strong in martial arts, and he is also loyal, he is now the time to use people, and this slave can't die yet.

Cao Zhengchun was like being amnestied, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Slave and maid, thank the emperor and grandfather for sparing his life!" ”

Jiang Yuyan looked at it coldly, Cao Zhengchun's martial arts are not bad, facing Zhu Houzhao, who can pinch him to death with one hand, but he is cautious, servile and servile, Jiang Yuyan said in her heart, even if her internal strength is the first in the world, now she has to be gentle with this man, is this the benefit of power?

"Ahem, your Dongchang is responsible for keeping an eye on the courtiers, especially the cabinet, what they say and do every day, and which concubine's room they stay in at night, I have to know. cough, you guys and Jinyiwei do this together, if someone has a big evil in their words, misbehaves, they will all be arrested and imprisoned, cough, be sure to find out who is plotting to kill me! In addition, Jiang Bin was driven to Tongzhou, you East Factory and West Factory are good at martial arts, cough cough, be sure to bring Jiang Bin back to the capital! and the border army under his jurisdiction also need to return to Beijing as soon as possible. Before Jiang Bin came back, you will take the brocade guard first, cough" said so much at once, Zhu Houzhao couldn't hold it anymore, and kept coughing, Jiang Yuyan hurriedly helped him lie down.

Gu Da glanced at Cao Zhengchun with jealousy, Cao Zhengchun was excited, his skills, he felt Gu Dayong's gaze at once, and after returning a provocative gaze, the two replied in unison: "Slave and maid, let's do it!" ”

Zhu Houzhao had no time to take care of him, and Jiang Yuyan waved them away.

The two of them exited the hall together, Cao Zhengchun straightened his waist, and said with a smile to Gu Da: "The West Factory has just reopened, I'm afraid there are not enough manpower, our family can let Cao Shaoqin take a team of fans and Jinyiwei to Tongzhou together." ”

Gu Da looked at him mockingly: "Our family sees that you deliberately want to kill Jiang Bin." ”

Cao Zhengchun's thin white old face darkened, and he said, "Oh? Please also ask Gu Gonggong to teach! ”

Gu Dayong took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Jiang Bin is a thorn in the flesh of many people, Yang Tinghe rushed to Tongzhou while the emperor was critically ill, he must have wanted to wait for the emperor.... must be that you want to nail Jiang Bin to death later, didn't you go to Tongzhou with such fanfare, didn't you tell everyone that the emperor wanted to save Jiang Bin? Have you ever thought about how many ambushes and assassinations there were on the road at that time? ”

The corners of Cao Zhengchun's mouth twitched, he was a martial artist, where could he think so carefully. Gu Dayong continued: "That's it, our family will only send one Ma Jinliang here, and you will send a Cao Shaoqin from the East Factory, and bring two more Jinyi guards promoted by Jiang Bin, and tell them to avoid the patrol of the Nine Gates, bring Jiang Bin back quickly, and let the border army follow later." ”

Qingliu civil officials always felt that Liu Jin and Jiang Bin and his ilk persecuted the ministers of the court, were arrogant, arbitrarily arrogant, abused power, bewitched the emperor to indulge in pleasure, and even made a very excessive move in the eyes of the literati, so they thought that by killing Liu Jin, sending Jiang Bin, and bribing Liu Xi, they could cut off the emperor's arm. But in the blink of an eye, the emperor set up the West Factory again and sent his cronies to manage the East Factory. They still have to live in the shadow of these eunuchs!

Gu Dayong arranged properly, Cao Zhengchun had nothing to say, and after the two said goodbye to each other, they went back to arrange some affairs.
