Chapter 46: You Can't Die in Vain (Ask for Subscription)
In March, spring is blooming!
People take off their thick winter clothes and put on light spring clothes, and the whole person is lighter and more beautiful!
On the streets of the capital, the flow of people has also increased significantly.
Yan Yunquan's journey was not smooth, and when the river thawed, the river water soared, and the peach blossom flood suddenly occurred, which delayed some days.
He sent a letter and estimated that he would not arrive in the capital until late March.
It's only coming in late March, so that's good! All right!
Yan Yunge clapped his hands and was happy!
The later she arrives, the more time she has to prepare.
……
Xiao Yi is still not dead, and he is alive and well.
The number of assassinations has decreased significantly.
Obviously, both the Tao family and the king of Dongping realized that Xiao Yi couldn't kill him in one day when he was in Jin Wuwei.
It's worrying.
As the old saying goes, good people don't live long, and disasters last for a thousand years!
In the minds of many people, Xiao Yat has become a scourge, a scourge that cannot be killed no matter how he kills.
Compared with Emperor Yongtai's attitude, Xiao Yi's death or not is secondary.
It stands to reason that in front of everyone, Xiao Yat killed people in public, the evidence is conclusive, there is nothing to triotable, and the murder pays for his life, and he can be dealt with directly.
However, if Emperor Yongtai did not speak, Jin Wuwei could not punish Xiao Yiming properly.
Are you angry?
Gas!
It's almost popular!
The Tao family is the bitter master, and the old man Tao cried several times in the court.
The white-haired man sends the black-haired man, pitiful!
Your Majesty wants to be the master of the Tao family and let the murderer pay for his life!
Every time, Emperor Yongtai appeased Old Man Tao with a good voice and promised to deal with Xiao Yi strictly.
However, there is no following!
The words are nice, but there is no movement.
Xiao Yat is still alive and well.
Emperor Yongtai promised to deal with Xiao Yat strictly, but on the other hand, he did not allow anyone to touch Xiao Yat, what does it mean?
If you don't pay for your life, how can you convince the people?
Old Man Tao's heart burned with anger.
Is Emperor Yongtai playing the Tao family?
Half of the officials in the court are lackeys of the Tao family, and His Majesty is not afraid of unspeakable disasters if he plays the Tao family?
Several times, when Old Man Tao faced the sincere face of Emperor Yongtai, he had the urge to tear off his ugly mask.
It's too much of a deception!
However, Old Man Tao held back!
The king is the king, and the minister is the minister!
Don't act until you have to!
Old Man Tao sent someone to contact Queen Tao in the palace and asked Queen Tao to test Emperor Yongtai's attitude.
This matter cannot be so vague, and an explanation must be given.
All in all, Second Master Tao can't die in vain.
……
Queen Tao has not had a good time lately.
Emperor Yongtai has not rested in Weiyang Palace for nearly a month.
Either sleep in Xingqing Palace, or go to other concubines.
Especially Concubine Jia Shu, who is the most favored.
The front and the harem are related to each other and influence each other.
For a while, the courtiers' eyes when they looked at the six princes became hot.
The mother concubine of the six princes is none other than Concubine Jia Shu.
Concubine Jia Shu was favored, and the six princes followed the rising tide.
It's a pity that Concubine Jia Shu's favored time is still short, Emperor Yongtai's attitude is unclear, and the courtiers dare not blatantly contact the six princes.
But in private, he will release a little kindness to the six princes.
After the initial madness and being snubbed by Emperor Yongtai for another month, the vengeful Empress Tao finally calmed down.
After calming down, she did one thing and set rules for her concubines.
If you want to snatch Your Majesty's favor from her, you have to ask her if she agrees first.
The world says that she is the queen of Tao, but this is not a lie.
She's a real man!
A Jieyu made a big mistake, told her to grab the handle, and beat her half to death.
As soon as Queen Tao made a move, everyone in the harem was in danger.
Concubine Jia Shu relied on her recent favor and took the opportunity to complain in the ear of Emperor Yongtai.
Filing a complaint also requires skill.
Concubine Jia Shu didn't say that Queen Tao was not, but only said how miserable Jieyu was when she was punished.
According to the imperial doctor, Wang Jieyu is afraid of being disabled. The concubine sent someone to visit, but the scene was really miserable, covered in blood and stained, and there was no one in the whole body intact. Poor Wang Jieyu. The concubine can do a limited amount of things, arrange someone to take care of her, and hope that she can survive. ”
Emperor Yongtai was silent.
Concubine Jia Shu's heart was uneasy, and she didn't know if Her Majesty had listened to her words.
Too much talk can make you lose it all.
Concubine Jia Shufei stopped the topic in time and stopped talking about Wang Jieyu.
Emperor Yongtai saw that she knew about her and was interested, so he rested in her palace that night.
……
After that, Emperor Yongtai was still cold to Queen Tao.
The food and soup sent by Empress Tao to Xingqing Palace were all returned.
Queen Tao invited him to Weiyang Palace for dinner, but she didn't have time to pass the time.
Queen Tao was sick, and he also didn't have time to visit, so he only arranged for Sun Bangnian to go to Weiyang Palace for him.
Queen Tao fell out of favor!?
The news is buzzing enough.
In private, it was spread all over the palace and outside the palace.
However, no one thinks that Queen Tao has really fallen out of favor!
No one dares to forget the bloody lesson.
In the early years, Empress Tao and Emperor Yongtai also had several conflicts.
Every time, someone decided that Empress Tao had fallen out of favor.
However, reality teaches to be human.
All those who thought that Queen Tao had fallen out of favor later fell into disrepute and died, and none of them had a good end.
The lessons from the past are not far away!
Therefore, no one dared to pack the ticket, saying that Queen Tao must have fallen out of favor this time.
Watch and see what happens!
Everyone agreed that it was the best policy to wait and see what happened.
……
Seeing that his father snubbed his mother, Concubine Jia Shufei profited, and the third prince Xiao Chengyi was in a hurry, and there were several bubbles in his mouth, which hurt!
Princess Dingtao was so anxious that she cried several times in the house.
She went to the palace to beg Emperor Yongtai, but Emperor Yongtai scolded her and told her to go back to her house to reflect.
She cried with the third prince Xiao Chengyi, "My father was never willing to scold me before, but this time, my father didn't even give me a good face." Third brother, did the queen mother really fall out of favor? ”
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, had foaming in his mouth, couldn't eat, and lost weight in a short period of time.
He hated it in his heart.
Hate the Tao family!
He had already said that it was not advisable to send assassins to assassinate Xiao Yat, and it would definitely arouse the anger of his father.
The queen mother did not listen to him.
The Tao family has the support of the queen mother, and they don't listen to his persuasion.
Now it's okay, eat the bitter fruit.
People don't kill, but they make people laugh.
The court is laughing at the Tao family.
The second master of the dignified Tao family was killed, and the human and material evidence was conclusive, but the murderer could not be dealt with.
I heard that Xiao Yi had a good life in the edict prison, and he gained several pounds.
It's too much of a deception!
This time, Tao's family lost face.
The queen mother is even cheaper than the group of concubines in the harem, especially Concubine Jia Shu.
Princess Dingtao cried, "I'm not talking nonsense! The father is so fierce, he must hate the house and the black. My father was tired of my mother, so he would treat me like that. ”
"Nonsense. The queen mother and father also had conflicts in their early years, and they were reconciled every time, and their love was better than before. This time, it must be no exception. ”
The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, said it loudly, and he believed it himself.
Princess Dingtao said: "In the past, the queen mother had a conflict with my father, but my father never murdered me. But this time......"
"That's because you've grown up!" Xiao Chengyi, the third prince, interrupted her, "You are older, and your father will naturally become more and more strict with you." And this time it involves the Tao family and the Dongping Palace, so you shouldn't interfere. My father scolded you because he loved you. ”
Princess Dingtao was skeptical.
She always felt that the third brother was fooling her.
Did the third brother believe those words?
It doesn't matter believe it or not, what matters is how to resolve this crisis.
The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, knew very well that he had to find a way to break the situation.
The father has been cold to the queen mother, and as time goes by, something must happen.
Seeing the good situation and being eaten up one by one, who can be willing.
He thought about it, and he really came up with a solution.
He said goodbye to Dingtao and hurried to the Second Prince's Mansion.
When the brothers met, he said straight to the point: "Second brother, this time you must come forward." The queen mother can only rely on you. ”
The second prince, Xiao Chengwen, put down the book, "The third brother sat down and said. You came to see me in a hurry because your father and queen snubbed your mother? ”
"Exactly! I thought of a way to resolve the conflict between my father and my mother, and ease their relationship. ”
"Third brother, please speak."
The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, coughed lightly and said solemnly: "Please invite the second brother into the palace and implore the father to set a marriage date for you and the second girl Yan." ”
The second prince, Xiao Chengwen, raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, he didn't expect the third brother to be a little anxious, and he could think of using his marriage to calm the harem.
This is indeed a good idea.
He smiled, "By the way, the wedding date of the eldest brother is also set." ”
"So the second brother agreed?" The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, looked surprised.
The second prince, Xiao Chengwen, nodded, "The queen mother is in trouble, how can I, as a son, stand by and watch." Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to ask for a decree. ”
"Thank you, second brother! The queen mother must have been very relieved to learn of this. ”
……
Early the next morning, the second prince Xiao Chengwen entered the palace to ask Emperor Yongtai to set a marriage date.
Emperor Yongtai remembered that at the end of last year, he gave marriage to his eldest son and second son respectively.
Taking advantage of the warm spring flowers and pleasant climate, it is time to set a wedding date and get married as soon as possible.
Emperor Yongtai knew that the real purpose of the second child entering the palace at this time was for Queen Tao.
He said: "It's difficult for you to drag your sick body into the palace, but I don't know if your mother will accept your affection." ”
The second prince, Xiao Chengwen, bowed slightly, "As a son of man, it is my duty to share the worries of my mother." Between relatives, there is no need to be so particular. ”
Emperor Yongtai smiled, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
He hid the malice in his heart and asked casually: "Do you know that because you are weak and sickly, your mother does not like you!" ”
"My son knows!" The second prince, Xiao Chengwen, looked calm and fearless.
Emperor Yongtai asked again: "Don't you complain?" ”
Xiao Chengwen shook his head, "The queen mother gave her son life, how can her son be resentful." ”
"I didn't expect you to be so stupid."
Xiao Chengwen coughed lightly twice, his face pale, "Father's words are like a heartbeat." The son was sick and weak, but he was fortunate to be born in the royal family to live to this day. To be alive is the greatest luck. The rest, I am fortunate, but I am not killed. ”
Emperor Yongtai's eyes were deep, and it was the first time that he looked at his frail and sickly second son so seriously.
After a moment, he smiled, this time with a genuine smile.
He said to Xiao Chengwen: "Go to Weiyang Palace to see your mother, tell her that I forgive her." However, this is only one time, not the next one. If there is a next time, she knows the consequences. ”
"My son thanked my father!"
