Chapter 115: Ten Years of Life and Death
Emperor Xining stared at the smoke on the incense burner, he seemed to see a smooth satin, just like the silk on the woman's body back then, smooth and matchless, still less than one-ten-thousandth of her Saixue skin.
Liu Zhen bowed in and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in good health and is sick." ”
"Oh?" Emperor Xining looked at Liu Zhen, who buried his head even lower, and whispered, "Your Majesty wants to see His Highness's pulse case?" ”
"I know that he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, how can he get sick easily?" Emperor Xining poured water on a pot of small orchid grass, "Why, you have something to say directly." ”
"Minions...... Don't dare to criticize Your Highness. ”
"If he doesn't get sick from this disease, how can he go to Jiangnan to do things for me?" Emperor Xining could guess Ji Yuan's intentions and smiled.
Liu Zhen muttered to himself, how can I know about the little power agreement between the two of you father and son in private? But I was still relieved, fortunately I didn't make a claim that the prince was not.
"Huo Xiang has been waiting outside for a long time, do you want to see him?"
"Let him in."
Huo Gang strode in, Liu Zhen hurriedly moved a soft stool for him to sit on, and gave him a seat in front of the emperor.
Liu Zhen is very good at looking at the eyes, personally served a cup of tea, and quietly withdrew by himself.
"Your Majesty." Huo Gang clutched his sleeves, the meaning was unknown.
"I still remember the first time I saw you, it was at the Qionglin Banquet, and you made a splendid article in front of your father, and you were shocked." Emperor Xining didn't wait for Huo Gang to speak, and said first.
"Ministers are sparse and shallow, and they are nothing."
"You have entered the eyes of your father and the emperor, and you have also entered the eyes of Mr. Zhang." He seemed to be joking, "At the beginning, Mr. Zhang wanted to accept you into the first prince's disciple. ”
Huo Gang showed extraordinary talent when he was young, and Mrs. Zhang saw heroes and wanted to recruit talents for the former prince and marry his daughter to Huo Gang.
"At that time, the minister felt that His Majesty could be the master." Huo Gang saw Emperor Xining for the first time, who was still Prince Rong, with a royal bearing, handsome, and full of energy, which was far from being comparable to the former prince who was gradually obsessed with women. He rejected Mrs. Zhang's olive branch at first.
"Mrs. Zhang really admires you." Emperor Xining took his words and continued, "Even if you refuse to help the first prince, he still wants to marry his daughter to you." ”
In fact, this statement is really far-fetched, Mrs. Zhang is in a high position, how can he surrender his identity for a young man who has just entered the career, the real reason is that the girl of the Zhang family fell in love with Huo Jialangjun at first sight, and if you are not married, Mrs. Zhang, who loves her daughter like her life, has to compromise.
It's just that Emperor Xining deliberately ignored them, because he couldn't marry Miss Zhang, and he couldn't get Miss Zhang's heart.
His feelings for Huo Gang are very complicated, he married a woman he couldn't get when he was young, but he also helped him a lot in political affairs, whether it is the concept of governing the country, or articles, calligraphy and painting, this person is also his lifelong confidant.
"In the blink of an eye, you've been with me for so many years." First of all, they met each other for the first time when they were in the palace, and then they were friends with monarchs and ministers.
"Your Majesty, why are you implicating Shui'er?" Huo Gang rolled up his sleeves, lowered his eyes and whispered, "Weichen only has this one daughter, and it is Wanwan's daughter who gave birth to with all her might." ”
At the beginning, the Zhang family had fallen, and Mrs. Zhang's health was also weak, and after years of accumulation, with Huo Shui'er, it almost cost her half her life to give birth to this child.
Huo Shui'er always thought that her mother's body only began to weaken after having her, which was actually due to Huo Gang's deliberate confusion.
He shut the mouths of everyone in the mansion and forbade him to talk about Mrs. Xian.
I also told Mama Gui and Dr. Jin in advance, if Huo Shui'er asked, I had to say that Mrs. Zhang fell ill because of the accident in the Zhang family. Zhang Wanwan did aggravate her condition because she gave birth to her, and in the years when she was still breathing, Huo Shui'er was still young, and she may not know if others deceived her.
Even if Huo Gang could think of Zhang Wanwan as soon as he saw Huo Shui'er's eyes, he still didn't want Huo Shui'er to blame himself for this, he wanted Huo Shui'er to live well, it was half of his wife's life.
"After ten years of waiting, don't you want to take revenge?" Emperor Xining seemed to smile as if he didn't have it.
"What do parents have to do with their children?" Huo Gang asked rhetorically, "Your Majesty, you want to involve the crown prince, but don't bring the daughter of the minister!" ”
"The prince and her are in love, besides, she already knows that there is a problem in Jiangnan, she wants to go, can you stop it?" Emperor Xining asked rhetorically.
It turned out that when Jin Yi and Mr. Jin met that day, they both mentioned that there is a medicinal herb, which only grows in a certain mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, and this flavor medicine should be one of the important ingredients of no interest.
Huo Shui'er insisted on following Ji Yuan to Jiangnan, crying so much that pear blossoms brought rain, Ji Yuan had nothing to do with her, Huo Shui'er came to the study to beg him when he went back, he was so angry that he dropped a few good inkstones, and then he entered the palace.
"This son of mine is a long-term lover, and he will definitely not treat your daughter badly." Emperor Xining said with relief.
"That's not the case!" A crack appeared on Huo Gang's originally calm face, and there was a kind of cabbage quilt that had been raised for so many years...... The feeling of the pig arching.
Thinking of this, he also looked at Emperor Xining with disgust, and scolded a hypocrite in his heart, what a villain, phew! If you can't marry Wanwan, his son will come to rob my daughter!
seems to have felt Huo Gang's resentment, but Emperor Xining was in a good mood, oops, Lao Tzu didn't marry his sweetheart back then, can't his son work harder?
The beautiful even hummed a little tune, and the tune was very broken, so that Huo Gang couldn't help hiding his face, this family is a living robber, unreasonable!
Sure enough, as Emperor Xining thought, on the second day, the news that the prince was overly grieved and seriously ill spread throughout the capital. In the small Huo Mansion, the girl of the Huo family was cold and sick.
Naturally, the prince's illness is in everyone's eyes, but the illness of the Huo family girl is not everyone's concern.
Everyone is happy or worried, the good thing is that as soon as Ji Yuan leaves, he may be able to quietly make some small moves, but he is worried about the princelings who don't know the truth, the pillars are sick, and their hearts are always unsteady.
Except for a few henchmen, Ji Yuan didn't tell others his intentions, in order to try them out this time, if there is a different heart, this time it is time to show the fox tail.
There are also political cells that are extremely sensitive, such as Chu Guogong and the like, who smell something extraordinary.
"Father, the prince is sick, maybe we can take this opportunity to do it." Zhu Xiujin proposed.
"Let's wait and see, the rumors are strong, I don't know if the truth is the same, let's wait for your aunt to pass the news." Zhu Chongguang is very cautious, he doesn't want to act, otherwise he wouldn't have brought the Zhu family better and better for so many years.
"The seventeenth prince can enter the court after the New Year." Zhu Chongguang said this, twisting his beard, the meaning was unknown.
After waiting for more than ten years, I finally waited for this moment, and the seventeenth prince was finally about to officially enter the court.
