Chapter 423: The Dream Falls Through

I'm dizzy, why has Shen Yichi been following Zhong Ling for so long, and he doesn't have any eyesight?

It's better to be clever than pothos - "Niang Niang won't be pretending." Pothos asked tentatively.

Zhong Ling then nodded appreciatively: "That's smart." ”

Only then did the pothos breathe a sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death of the slave, it's good that the mother is fine." ”

Shen Yichi shook his head helplessly, looking like he wanted to teach a lesson, Zhong Ling hurriedly glanced at the pothos envoy and asked her to go out, and the husband and wife were left in the house.

But even though Shen Yichi had been brewing for a long time, he still couldn't say anything heavy to blame Zhong Ling, and what he imagined in his mind turned into his mouth: "Ling'er, don't mess around like this in the future." ”

Zhong Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly laughed and flattered: "Oh, I know I shouldn't lie to you like this, but this is not for a reason, and I really can't help it." ”

said this on the surface, and secretly didn't forget to mutter: It's not that you're stupid, what I hinted at is so obvious that I can't see it.

"What?" Shen Yichi looked at Zhong Ling with a suspicious face, and she hurriedly shook her head: "No...... Let's get down to business. ”

"You want to talk about appeasing the Cao family." It seems that Shen Yixin also has a plan sooner or later.

Zhong Ling nodded sadly: "Yes, it seems that all countries are congratulating, if Cao Xiangong jumps off the wall in a hurry at this time, we don't have the extra energy to deal with it." ”

A few days ago, Shen Yichi sent Lou Chen to transfer his old troops from Xia Ling to train secretly, which shows that it is already reluctant to deal with Shen Tianyu and Chi Yanguo, and now with the addition of the Cao family, I don't know how big a wave to make.

Originally, everything was ready, but it was a kick to the door and a trip to bite the gold, how is this good?

Shen Yichi also fell silent suddenly, although he had just instructed the imperial doctor not to be silent, but with the mouth of the empress dowager, I am afraid that it will not be able to delay the congratulations of all countries no matter what.

Instead of waiting for the Empress Dowager to depict in front of Cao Xiangong, it is better to take the initiative.

In this way, Shen Yichi immediately decided: "Gonggong Hong, go to Cao's Mansion and invite Gonggong Cao County to enter the palace." ”

Hong Yushun couldn't help but be stunned: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, but at this moment?" "This is the third watch in the middle of the night, the palace doors are closed, and Hong Yushun wants to take the token to disturb people's rest? That's not a good thing to do.

But it's no wonder that Hong Yushun is confused, after all, it was Shen Yichi who ordered the blockade news, and Hong Yushun only came to the East Palace directly after learning about Shen Yichi's whereabouts, and probably didn't know about Qinghui Palace.

Shen Yichi immediately emphasized again: "Now, immediately, announce the person to the Qianqing Palace." ”

"The old slave obeys." Only then did Hong Yushun leave.

Cao Fu.

The so-called one person has ascended to heaven, so one person has lost power, and since the suspension of Cao County, the courtyard of this Cao Mansion is deserted, and it looks like a thin layer of dust under the moonlight.

The door, which had not been heard for a long time, was lightly slammed, and the doorman came to open the door yawning for a long time, until he rubbed his eyes and cleared up a little before he recognized the person in front of him.

The doorman was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted: "Father-in-law Hong." ”

"I don't know if Grandpa Hong came to visit late at night, but what advice do you have?" The doorman was surprised, the Cao family had not welcomed a distinguished guest for a long time.

Hong Yushun smiled at this time: "Your Majesty ordered the Sprinkle family to come to Xuancao to enter the palace, please spread the word." ”

Hearing this, the doorman hurriedly ran inside.

"Sir, sir!" The doorman anxiously knocked and shouted at the door of the Cao County public house.

Cao Xiangong woke up from his sleep in an instant, and scolded angrily with a grumbling stomach: "What a noise! ”

The doorman suddenly became cowardly, and said in a cowering manner: "Gonggong Hong came to pass the word, saying that His Majesty invited the master to enter the palace. ”

Hearing this, Cao Xiangong, who was still sleepy-eyed, suddenly woke up, and hurriedly asked through the door while dressing, "But really?" ”

The doorman nodded: "It's true, Gonggong Hong is waiting outside the door." ”

Cao Xiangong hurriedly sped up his movements, and came out of it in a moment: "Quick, take this official with you." ”

When he arrived at the door, Hong Yushun was really waiting in place, and Cao Xiangong's heart suddenly flooded with an indescribable emotion, like joy, but it was inevitably half of doubt and panic.

"I've seen Lord Cao." Hong Yushun said politely, although Cao Xiangong is already a nominal official, as long as he is still wearing this official uniform, the etiquette of respect and humility cannot be abolished.

Cao County Gong was also respectful to Hong Yushun: "I don't know what happened to Hong Gonggong's late night visit?" ”

"It was His Majesty who ordered the Sprinkle family to summon Lord Cao into the palace, and His Majesty did not disclose the specific matters, and the Sprinkle family is not good at speculating about the holy will, so it will be bothered that Lord Cao will go with the Sprinkle family."

Cao Xiangong followed Hong Yushun into the palace at this time, and he was panicked all the way: what is so urgent that he needs to be summoned in the middle of the night? Could it be that I colluded with Xia Ling and was noticed by him?

Cao Xiangong simply thought of dozens of reasons why Shen Yichi would summon him late at night, but he didn't think of Concubine Min at all.

After worrying all the way, he finally arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and the tension in Cao Xiangong's heart became more and more intense.

"Lord Cao, please." Seeing that Cao Xiangong was standing in place and refused to move his pace, Hong Yushun hurriedly reminded him.

"That's it, I'm alone anyway, no matter how bad it is, it's not much worse." Thinking about it this way, Cao Xiangong finally sank his mind and immediately stepped in.

As soon as he entered the door, he met Shen Yichi's long-lost eyes, it was these sharp and indifferent eyes that provoked the anger that had been suppressed in Cao County's heart for a long time that night, making him stumble into a thousand years of hatred, and he would never forget it.

"Your Majesty, the old minister." Cao Xiangong saluted indignantly, and his tone and expression showed obvious dissatisfaction.

Shen Yichi was still indifferent: "Lord Cao is exempt." ”

"I haven't seen you for a long time, how is Lord Cao lately?" I really don't know if Shen Yichi is a heart, he belittled others and asked them if they were doing well, this is not a stab in the heart.

Sure enough, when Cao Xiangong heard this, he immediately became angry, and immediately pointed at Sang and scolded Huai: "The old minister does not distinguish between severity and severity, and he has sinned His Majesty by getting drunk, and it is also his own fault to end up like this, and it is no longer extravagant to be able to live well." ”

Is this pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic? This handful of age is really

Square peg.

Shen Yichi didn't care about Cao County's rhetoric, he only said his own words: "I can't hide it, I urgently summoned Lord Cao into the palace late at night, and I really have something important to tell you." ”

Hearing this, Cao Xiangong couldn't help but tense his nerves: "Your Majesty, please instruct." ”

Fang Cai clearly thought about all the lines, but when it was time to say it, Shen Yichi was still hesitant and difficult to speak.

After brewing for a long time, Shen Yichi spoke: "It's Concubine Min's business." ”

"Little girl? What happened to the little girl? "Cao Xiangong obviously forgot that the imperial doctor said that the allergic concubine will give birth in the near future.

Only then did Shen Yichi continue: "An hour ago, Concubine Min gave birth to the son of the first emperor. ”

Before Shen Yichi finished speaking, Cao Xiangong couldn't help but be ecstatic: "What Your Majesty said is true? Is the old minister really going to be a grandfather? ”

Oh, old fox, you want to be more than just a little kid's grandfather.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, is the child a man or a woman?" Cao Xiangong asked inappropriately, look, this fox's tail was exposed so quickly.

Shen Yichi didn't know how to say the following things, so he could only answer Cao County's question first: "It's a baby boy." ”

Hearing this answer, Cao Xiangong, who was already ecstatic, was even more happy at this moment, and his tail was about to rise to the sky, and he couldn't hold back in an instant: "The old minister is bold, and I also ask Your Majesty to allow the old minister to visit the concubine." ”

Shen Yichi nodded and shook his head, and Cao Xiangong suddenly fell into confusion.

It took a long time to hear Shen Yichi's explanation: "As the biological father of the concubine, it is understandable for Lord Cao to visit, but there is one thing I need to tell Lord Cao first. ”

"Your Majesty, please speak." Cao Xiangong's mind was full of seeing his golden grandson at this time, and he wished that Shen Yichi would have something to say and fart quickly.

Shen Yichi finally got to the point: "Concubine Min did give birth to a baby boy successfully, but the child ......"

Seeing Shen Yichi's hesitant eyes, the smile on Cao Xiangong's face gradually converged, and a hint of foreboding suddenly surged in his heart, and a pair of residual eyebrows couldn't help frowning: "Child...... What's going on? ”

"The child was born deficient, and died less than half an hour after birth." Shen Yichi finally finished speaking.

Cao Xiangong suddenly thundered like five thunders: "What? How can this be, this is impossible, Your Majesty is joking with the old minister, right? ”

Cao Xiangong couldn't believe it, he felt like a farmer waiting for a bumper harvest at the moment, but the hard work of the past year ended up in nothing, and the pain of gaining and losing was self-evident.

Shen Yichi was not comforted, but just responded lightly, "You have no jokes".

is a good sentence, and in just four words, a knife was inserted in the heart of Cao County.

"Lord Cao can go and see Concubine Min and comfort her by the way." This is the only thing Shen Yichi can think of now.

But the life-saving straw is gone, what is a mere Concubine Min for the profit-hungry Cao County Gong? And comfort her? Don't say that Cao Xiangong is not rare to see her at all now, even if he really sees her, I'm afraid he can only be responsible

There is no consolation.

But in the end, it was father and daughter, and at this moment, in front of Shen Yichi, the moral pretense that should be done must always be pretended, so Cao Xiangong responded to Shen Yichi in frustration: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion." ”

Just as he was about to turn around and go to Qinghui Palace, there were already people from Qinghui Palace, and naturally Qingqing was again.

I only heard Qingqing crying outside the Qianqing Hall to see Shen Yichi, and Hong Yushun kept her out of the door on the grounds that "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs".

Shen Yichi heard the voice, and then he spoke outside the door: "Who is making noise outside?" ”

Hong Yushun came in at this time: "Your Majesty, she is the palace maid of Qinghui Palace." ”

"What?"

"According to what the palace maid said, it seems that the concubine has woken up." Hong Yushun just replied like this, but if it was so simple, why did Qingqing cry?
