Chapter 312: Request
Two days later, the Duke of Liguo suddenly came out of the palace to see the Duchess of Liguo, and the Duke of Li Guo entered the palace to ask to see the Emperor of Chu, and the Emperor Chu sent a doctor to the Duke of Liguo Mansion to see the Duchess of Liguo.
Hu Shi learned the news and immediately went back to the Liguo Mansion to visit his mother, the Duchess of Liguo's condition developed very rapidly, Hu went out of the Liguo Mansion and entered the palace to Zhaoyang Palace to see the queen, hoping that she could allow herself to take the children to live in the Liguo Mansion temporarily, so as to take care of the seriously ill Duchess of Liguo.
The queen couldn't bear Hu's crying and begging, so she had to allow her.
On the same day, Xiao Xuan entered the palace alone.
She didn't take Brother Min with her, nor did she go to Yihua Palace to visit Emperor Liu's concubine, but went straight to Lingyun Hall to see Emperor Chu.
Wu Chuan saw that the person who came was Xiao Xuan, so he naturally led the person to Emperor Chu for the first time.
"Why are you here today?" Emperor Chu put down the half-read recital in his hand, and beckoned Xiao Xuan to step forward with a smile. "It's rare for you to come to my Lingyun Palace, and you didn't bring Brother Min with you? It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Min. ”
"Brother Min is now older, and he is getting more and more naughty, I came to the palace today to see my father because I had something serious to discuss with my father, so I didn't bring him into the palace with me, if my father really misses him, I will bring him into the palace in a few days to ask my father for peace." Xiao Xuan walked up to Emperor Chu and said.
"Do you have anything serious to discuss with me?" Emperor Chu showed a puzzled expression on his face and asked suspiciously. "Did something happen to you?"
"Actually, it's not my business." Xiao Xuan squatted down, sat at the feet of Emperor Chu, knelt on his knees as if he was a child, and looked up at Emperor Chu. "Actually, I know a little about my father's treatment of the second brother, and I entered the palace today to do the second sister-in-law a favor, and begged my father to allow the second sister-in-law and Concubine Liao to stay in the imperial capital to take care of the children."
Before Xiao Xuan's words fell, the expression on Emperor Chu's face had already condensed.
"Well, I shouldn't be too surprised to know this news." Emperor Chu raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows with some embarrassment, and said helplessly. "Why do you want to help the Hu family and the Liao family intercede like this, as the wives and concubines of your second brother, they should go to the fiefdom with them."
"Father." Xiao Xuan continued. "Actually, the second sister-in-law and Concubine Liao are not happy with the second brother, and the father should know something, right? Besides, now that the Duchess of Liguo is seriously ill, and the second sister-in-law takes care of her at the bedside every day, I am afraid that she has no intention of leaving the imperial capital with the second brother. Not to mention the delicate Concubine Liao, after she was almost killed by her second brother, although she was rescued at the time, the foundation of her body was much worse, and her sister was almost gone at that time, and their mother and daughter are not suitable for long-distance bumps at the moment. ”
"I know that the Hu family and the Liao family are not liked by your second brother." Emperor Chu looked at Xiao Xuan who was lying on his knees with deep eyes, and pondered for a moment before speaking. "What I didn't expect was that you would be so clear about the affairs of your second brother's mansion."
"The meaning of my father's words, is it to blame me for not being able to do a lot of things?" Xiao Xuan looked at the expression on Emperor Chu's face and was not stunned, but instead said with a stiff neck. "The father will let the second brother go to the fiefdom in advance, so naturally he already knows what the second brother has done. When I was in trouble during the spring hunt, it was my luck that I didn't fall off the horse and break my neck or be kicked by the horse, but it wasn't because my second brother showed mercy to my men. My father is a monarch, and the second brother still has some scruples about acting, but my second brother in life and death doesn't seem to have any scruples. My second sister-in-law and I got closer, also to protect ourselves. ”
Xiao Xuan's accusation really caught Emperor Chu off guard.
Xiao Xuan was right, when planning the spring hunt at that time, the reason why Xiao Jin wanted to find a scapegoat like Nan'an Houfu was indeed to make the worst plan.
When the spring hunt was in distress, Xiao Xuan's horse was deliberately driven away from the team, and the palace guards and pennant guards around Emperor Chu immediately attached more importance to the safety of Emperor Chu. In a panic, it was not until Emperor Chu was safely rescued that when everyone counted the number of people, they found that Xiao Xuan had been carried by a frightened horse and disappeared.
Fortunately, Xiao Jun and Duan Shaolan, who came over later, had already gone to look for her, and Xiao Xuan's luck was indeed good, she had always liked to ride horses when she was young, although most of the time she was just in the horse farm in the palace, riding those gentle horses that were specially domesticated for her.
Fortunately, she met Ning Guiren, who grew up on horseback on the grassland, and Ning Guiren took precautions and taught her some means of riding horses and self-preservation, which really came in handy this time.
Although Xiao Xuan was not able to control the crazy horse for the first time, he persevered on the bumpy horseback for a long enough time, and persevered until the horse's physical strength gradually decreased, and when the speed of the horse gradually slowed down, Xiao Xuan, who finally couldn't continue to hold on, couldn't support the fall off the horse.
After falling off the horse, she was found by Duan Shaolan and Xiao Jun in time, only to find that although she had fainted from strength, she only suffered some minor injuries in the end, and her life was safe.
"Father knows that you have been wronged." Emperor Chu felt sorry for the daughter raised by Jin Zunyugui who suffered like this, but after knowing that the person behind the scenes was Xiao Jin, the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat. "But if the matter is really revealed, your second brother will really be wasted."
"Don't hide it from my father, in fact, when I saw afterwards that my father didn't offend Nan'anhou Mansion, I already knew that the second brother should have done it." Xiao Xuan's eyes were slightly red. "My second brother and I are both the children of my father, and I know that my father has no way to deal with my second brother ruthlessly. So I didn't say anything, but I contacted the second sister-in-law privately, hoping that if the second brother has any changes in the future, the second sister-in-law can pass on the message to me, so that I have a number in my heart. After that, the sixth brother met the young lady of the Yue family on the way back to the imperial capital, and the father should also know about it. ”
"That's it, what you want to express is that the father knows it." Emperor Chu felt guilty about Xiao Xuan, and it was not a big deal for the Hu family and the Liao family to stay in the imperial capital. "But the Hu family left alone with the children, and if the Liao family was in charge of the family affairs and stayed, the main concubine and the side concubine would not accompany your second brother. If you go to the fiefdom, if you don't have someone to take care of your second brother's daily life, I'm afraid that it won't work, and if the local officials and daughters go to visit, you can't let your second brother or those concubines in his backyard go to socialize. ”
"Did Father mean to agree to my request?" Hearing the meaning of Emperor Chu's words, Xiao Xuan immediately raised his head happily and said. "Father's worries are easy to solve, the second brother has a lot of Aunt He who is liked by the second brother, and she is also from an innocent official family, her appearance and temperament are good, and the second sister-in-law also fell in love with her. As long as the second brother leaves the imperial capital, this Aunt He's identity can go one step further. ”
"You girl, you dare to even get involved in your second brother's backyard affairs, how can it be spread out?" Unexpectedly, Xiao Xuan even took these things into consideration, and Emperor Chu said unexpectedly.
"When the second brother calculated me, he didn't think about whether I would die or be trampled by a horse and become a paralyzed, how could I have the heart to think about those things." Xiao Xuan said confidently. "Besides, isn't this consideration of mine for the sake of the second brother? If the second sister-in-law and Concubine Liao can't accompany me, I, as a younger sister, naturally have to find a caring and deferred person to take care of the second brother. ”
"Okay, it's all up to you," Emperor Chu was ashamed of Xiao Xuan, and what Xiao Xuan asked for was not difficult for Emperor Chu, and Emperor Chu was more willing to fulfill Xiao Xuan.
Not to mention, Emperor Chu is distressed and likes the children of his grandchildren, although Xiao Jin has done those things, the children of the Hu family and the Liao family in his house are innocent. At present, Emperor Chu is unwilling to see Xiao Jin again, so he will let him take up the vassal in advance, which does not mean that Emperor Chu is willing to let his grandsons and granddaughters travel far away.
The children stay in the imperial capital, although they can continue to live in the palace of the king of Jinjun, but the children are still young, and there is no shortage of maids and nurses around them to take care of them, but who can have a biological mother to take care of them.
"Thank you, Father." Xiao Xuan jumped up happily and grabbed Emperor Chu's arm with a grin. "I'll bring Brother Min into the palace tomorrow to greet my father."
"What you begged me to do is done, you are a mother, but you are going to take Brother Min to repay the favor?" Emperor Chu was so made by Xiao Xuan crying and laughing for a while, and said helplessly. "When the time comes, I will personally order the Hu family and the Liao family to stay in the imperial capital with their children to continue to live, and I will also give the He family you said as a side concubine for her to accompany her."
"There is no need for the father to take the initiative to decree this matter, as long as someone asks for the father to come to the emperor again, the father will grant this matter again." Xiao Xuan and Emperor Chu patiently explained. "Father just needs to nod when the time comes."
"Well, whatever you want to do." Being stared at by Xiao Xuan, Emperor Chu had no choice but to nod.
"I know that my father is the best for me."
"Father knows that you and your two brothers are good children." Emperor Chu really couldn't bear to deal with Xiao Jin, Xiao Yu pressed Xiao Jun, who was eager to retaliate, but chose to tell Emperor Chu all the truth of the matter alone, which was indeed the fulfillment of Emperor Chu.
And Emperor Chu actually saw things in his eyes for a long time, but Emperor Chu also wanted to see how Xiao Yu was prepared to deal with these things. Fortunately, Xiao Yu's actions did not disappoint Emperor Chu, and he still saved Xiao Jin in the end.
Although Emperor Chu never declared his thoughts in his heart, Xiao Yu never lived up to Emperor Chu's attention.
Even the queen plotted against Emperor Liu's concubine, and Emperor Liu's concubine didn't bite the queen to death, which also made Emperor Chu breathe a sigh of relief.
"I also know that my father is the most soft-hearted person." Xiao Xuan shook Emperor Chu's hand and said. "The eldest brother understands his father's heart better than the second brother, and he will definitely treat the second brother and the queen mother well in the future."
