Chapter 11: Comforting the Emperor's Brother
Yang Yan wiped his sweat and said, "The lower officials don't know, the puppet technique has only been seen in the book, and there is no detailed record, presumably the "Zuo Anzhi" that the eldest princess read is more comprehensive." ”
Emperor Cang'an's whole body exuded anger, "Cai Zhong, give me an investigation, all those who have come into contact with the three princes, including the queen, don't let any of them go." "He couldn't calm down at the thought of such evil spells appearing to his son.
Ye Xixi thought about it for a while, and calmly analyzed, "First check if Concubine Jing has caused anything, the person who performed the spell risked being discovered, and he also wanted to harm Concubine Jing, I'm afraid it will be a grievance." ”
Emperor Cang'an frowned and thought about it, and also felt that it made sense, "Go check it." ”
Cai Zhong glanced at Emperor Cang'an worriedly, responded respectfully, and retreated with a group of guards.
There were only two people left in the inner room, Ye Xixi and Emperor Cang'an, Emperor Cang'an looked at Dongfang Yi's whip mark, and it was difficult to hide his distress, "Mingxi, am I becoming more and more useless?" In the palace, someone dared to frame my son, and I beat Yi'er indiscriminately. ”
Ye Xixi didn't know how to comfort her, so she only said, "Brother Emperor, the matter has happened, take this opportunity to clean up the palace well, Canglan Country has finally settled down, and it can't withstand another mess." ”
The two fell into silence, Emperor Cang'an analyzed the purpose of the person behind it, while Ye Xixi recalled some changes in the palace in the previous life, and didn't seem to have heard of the puppet technique.
In the last life, Concubine Jing also seemed to have been born prematurely, the sixth prince was born stillborn, Concubine Jing could no longer give birth, the third prince was beaten by Emperor Cang'an, the queen has been ill since then, the harem is managed by Concubine Jing, and few people in Qianji Pavilion inquire about the news of the harem, so Ye Xixi did not send people to know too much about this matter.
Ye Xixi always felt that she had overlooked something, but she always couldn't grasp the key.
Cai Zhong ran in and interrupted the two of them's thoughts, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing has given birth and is a prince, but the sixth prince is weak and has lost his breath." ”
Emperor Cang'an closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows, and after a while, he stood up and walked towards Ejiao Palace.
Ye Xixi had no choice but to follow, on this day, I'm afraid that the emperor's brother will hit me a lot, and it will not be easy for ordinary people to bear it.
In the Ejiao Palace, Concubine Jing's eyes were full of tears, her face was pale, and when she saw Emperor Cang'an walking in, she cried directly, "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the concubine, our child, our child has not opened his eyes to see the world, it is gone, the emperor, this is our first child, this is also the last child of the concubine." ”
Emperor Cang'an walked over, took Concubine Jing's hand, and comforted her with pain in her heart, "I will find out, I will also find a way to cure your body, and there will be children, Concubine Ai will take care of her body first." ”
Ye Xixi didn't go in, only waited in the outer room, Emperor Cang'an coaxed for a long time, Concubine Jing fell asleep, and when she walked out of the inner room, Emperor Cang'an's eyes were already full of haggardness.
Ye Xixi sighed in her heart, "Where there are many women, there are really many right and wrong." He silently followed behind Emperor Cang'an and did not make a sound.
Emperor Cang'an didn't let his subordinates follow, and only took Ye Xixi to the Imperial Garden, "Mingxi, so many people want to sit in this position, but if you want to sit in this position, it's really too difficult, whether it's the court or the harem, I don't have three heads and six arms, I can't make everyone satisfied." ”
"Even the Buddha will be complained about being unfair, why should the emperor's brother put so much pressure on himself? Everyone has seven emotions and six desires, and he can't satisfy his selfishness, how can the emperor's brother satisfy everyone's hearts? Just do your best, and those who know how grateful will definitely remember the emperor's brother's goodness. ”
Emperor Cang'an turned around and looked at Ye Xixi with a smile, "My Mingxi seems to have really grown up and will comfort the emperor's brother." ”
Ye Xixi also smiled back, and walked towards the Qinghe Pavilion not far away, there has been a piano in the pavilion, Ye Xixi sat down elegantly, her slender fingers stroked the strings, the sound of the piano was soothing, like a long stream of water, which made people feel calm.
Emperor Cang'an listened with his eyes closed, and his heart calmed down.
The sound of the piano stopped, and Emperor Cang'an opened his eyes, and he had lost his previous decadent color, "When did Mingxi have such good piano skills?" If I'm not mistaken, this piece is "Listen to the Wind". ”
"It's "Listen to the Wind", the housekeeper in the house, good at piano skills, I pestered him to learn for a few days, and I can get a praise from the emperor's brother, but I didn't learn in vain." Seeing that Emperor Cang'an seemed to be in a better mood, Ye Xixi was so satisfied that he stood up.
"Brother Emperor, the matter of the silver needle, as well as the matter of Concubine Jing, I'm afraid it will take a few days to investigate, Mingxi will go back to the house first, and come to visit the emperor's brother tomorrow."
Emperor Cang'an was pleased, "Go back, be careful on the road." ”
Ye Xixi bowed down and saluted, "Brother Emperor should put his body first, don't worry too much." ”
Emperor Cang'an nodded, and Ye Xixi left the palace with Yuan Chun.
The big moves in the palace were heard by the ministers of the court, and of course Su Xingci also knew about Ye Xixi's entry into the palace.
When Ye Xixi returned to the eldest princess's mansion, she heard the sound of the piano in the garden, after all, she had lived for the eighth life, Ye Xixi still had some research on the piano, and she had also heard the sound of Jiang Li's piano, but what she heard now was obviously not played by Jiang Li.
Walking over to the sound of the piano, Ye Xixi saw that in the pavilion in the garden, Jiang Li and Su Xingci were two people, one playing the piano and the other painting...... It's a good match.
The two naturally found Ye Xixi who came over, and got up and saluted one after another, Ye Xixi was not polite, and looked at Su Xingci, "Why are you here?" You two know each other very well? ”
Su Xingci didn't annoy Ye Xixi's attitude, and replied gently, "Jiang Li is my senior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, come and visit." ”
"Oh." Ye Xixi was surprised, turned around and wanted to leave, but inadvertently saw the jade pendant on Su Xingci's waist, Ye Xixi frowned slightly, I really didn't expect Su Xingci to dare to carry a cold jade pendant at any time when the cold poison was attacking, and he had a temper in his heart, and he spent so much effort to find an antidote for him, he practiced himself like this, and he would be angry if he was any doctor.
"Have you heard the story of Wu Feng, the woodcutter?"
Su Xingci looked at Ye Xixi curiously, "The lower officials have never heard of it, please ask the eldest princess to give advice." ”
"Wu Feng went to the mountains to chop wood as usual, but fell into the hunter's trap and broke his leg, without his legs he couldn't go up the mountain to hunt, he felt useless, and began to give up on himself, Wu Feng's father almost spent all the family's savings to hire a doctor for him, see a doctor and treat his legs, but he didn't cherish it, he only knew that he gave up on himself, and he didn't cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and finally his father and his doctor gave up on him, do you know why?"
Su Xingci asked with a faint smile, "Why?" ”
"If you don't take care of your body, others are working hard, and it's just a waste of other people's efforts, don't you say, the prince of war?" After speaking, Ye Xixi walked towards her courtyard with a calm face, no longer looking at Su Xingci.
Su Xingci looked at Ye Xixi's back, smiled bitterly and pinched the jade pendant on his waist, "The little thing is angry, but how can it be good, it's too big." ”
