Chapter 40: The Queen's Design
Su Jingye hugged Jiang Liuyu and cried for a long time, Jiang Liuyu finally couldn't stand the physical and mental fatigue, and slowly cried and fell asleep. Su Jingye carefully covered her with the quilt, and then paid attention to whether the people outside were awake, so she slipped out through the window that was open when she came in, and rode back to the palace on horseback.
Inside the palace, there was silence everywhere. The Emperor had all the curtains of his bedroom closed, and the room was brightly lit. The chief eunuch saw that he didn't approve the folding, but only held the book for a long time without turning a page, and couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, it's almost ugly, you better rest quickly." ”
"It's ugly, and he must be coming soon." The emperor put the book down and yawned, "Don't be busy, I'll wait for someone else." ”
Wanting to cheer up some spirits, the emperor reached out to get the cold herbal tea on the table, but the chief eunuch hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, the cold tea hurts your spirits, the slave should ask someone to make you another pot." ”
The emperor reluctantly withdrew his hand, "Father-in-law Su, you are doing this errand better now." ”
The chief eunuch hurriedly lowered his head, "The slave is also thinking about His Majesty's body,"
Not listening to Father-in-law Su's verbosity, the emperor picked up the tea and took a sip again.
"Why make such a big fuss, don't you let those people know all about tonight's events."
Father-in-law Su raised his head and couldn't stop him, when he heard a sudden voice outside.
"Son-in-law Su Jingye, ask to see my father."
The emperor smiled silently, and Gonggong Su went over to open the door with the floating dust: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Jing, Your Majesty is waiting for you." ”
Su Jingye felt strange when she heard this, and walked into the room with her clothes and knelt down towards the emperor.
"Erchen has seen his father."
The emperor cleared his throat and leaned back in his chair in a different position, "What is the matter when Jing Ye leaks fluid?" ”
Su Jingye raised his head, "My father deliberately waited for his sons to come over, so why should he know about the advisor." ”
"I already know about Jiang Liuyu being punished by the queen today, and I expected you to come, but what will you say to me depends on what you say." The emperor propped up his knees, and it seemed that his joints were a little painful, and Gonggong Su hurriedly stepped forward to beat his legs for him.
"Father, my son told you early in the morning about me and Liuyu. It's just that why do you still give me a marriage, which makes Ruyu still refuse to pay attention to me. Su Jingye felt deeply wronged, his father knew everything, but he must stir up some waves.
"Giving you a marriage, that is indeed my other meaning, but if you question me for a woman, it can be seen that she is just a red face." The emperor deliberately said this, wanting to test Su Jingye's reaction.
Su Jingye was really angry, "Father, I can achieve your goal for you, but you can't say that about Liuyu, she is different from us." ”
"Of course I do, but I'm just joking with you." The emperor changed his attitude again, "If she is not a good person, will she provoke my son to dream of her, and even disobey my will?" ”
"Erchen doesn't dare, it's just," Su Jingye didn't finish speaking, and the emperor interrupted him, "That's it, you marry An Ning, as long as you treat her well, as for Jiang Liuyu, I will find an opportunity to explain to her for you." ”
"It's late at night, so let's go back and rest early."
Su Jingye finally entered the palace, but he didn't say anything, and was about to leave, even if he was unwilling, he didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order for the time being, he was only curious about what his plan was.
Father-in-law Su slowly beat the emperor's legs, and the emperor relaxed his upper body, closed his eyes and said, "Father-in-law Su, if there is anything, you can say it." ”
"Your Majesty, this King Jing actually sneaked in after the palace gave the key, this is inevitable,"
Halfway through the eunuch's words, the emperor knew what he meant, and snorted a few times: "King Jing, I'm not worried, I'm sitting at this time today, isn't it just waiting for him to come." If he didn't even have the ability to quietly enter the palace, wouldn't he have lived in vain for so many years? ”
"Originally, I was just testing the weight of that Jiang Liuyu in Jing Ye's heart, but I didn't expect that it was beyond my imagination." The emperor couldn't help but smile, "The queen has always been ruthless, and this time Jiang Liuyu fell into her hands, it was indeed pitiful." If it does, I don't mind fulfilling them. ”
"Your Majesty is kind-hearted and will be able to make your wishes come true." The father-in-law of the chief steward slapped a few words of sycophants at the right time, but the emperor suddenly sat up: "Do you know what I plan again?" Dare to say so. ”
Gonggong Su was not surprised: "Although the slave doesn't know, the slave has been with His Majesty for so long, and he also knows that His Majesty has always had no last resort." ”
"Haha, okay." The Emperor laughed a few times in satisfaction, and then stepped off the soft couch, "It's time to rest." ”
A few hours later, Jiang Liuyu woke up leisurely. The maid outside was not there, Jiang Liuyu could only get up and pour water by herself, and she was worried about whether it would involve injuries, but she didn't think it would be much better.
The maid came in with the washing water, and when she saw Jiang Liuyu getting up by herself, she was so frightened that she hurriedly put the basin down to help her.
"Miss, why are you up, just tell the slave maid to come if you have something."
Jiang Liuyu borrowed her hand and leaned on the side of the bed, and said with a smile: It's okay, I feel much better, Xiaoyun, what kind of medicine did you give me, I feel much better today. ”
"It's the medicine that the village doctor dispensed to reduce swelling and reduce stasis, why is this medicine so fast, it can't be something wrong, do you want the slave maid to find the doctor for you again." Xiaoyun said that he was going to help Jiang Liuyu check it, but Jiang Liuyu was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped him.
"No, I'm not used to it." Jiang Liuyu smiled awkwardly, "Actually, I don't suffer too much, so I'm better today, you can get me some food, I'm a little hungry." ”
"Okay." Xiaoyun nodded in a daze, and when he came back, he also brought Liu, who had been worried all night.
"Yu'er, is there anything else that hurts or isn't it uncomfortable?" As soon as Liu came, he pulled Jiang Liuyu to look at her, and saw that her complexion was indeed better, so he reluctantly put his mind at ease.
"Mother, I'm really fine." Jiang Liuyu smiled.
Liu took the face cloth from Xiaoyun's hand, personally washed Jiang Liuyu's face, and then picked up a bowl of shredded chicken and millet porridge, and after blowing it carefully, he fed Jiang Liuyu again.
"Miss doesn't know, when you were in a coma last night, Madame was about to cry." Xiaoyun brought a dish of side dishes and gently added them to the bowl.
"Let my mother worry about it again." Jiang Liuyu smiled obediently. Liu sighed, and after feeding her with the vegetables, he asked Xiaoyun to take the things out.
"You lie down and let my mother see what is going on." Jiang Liuyu twisted and didn't want to move, and Liu said softly: "What is my mother afraid of, only after I have seen it, my mother can rest assured." ”
Jiang Liuyu had to be obedient, and Liu lifted his clothes, and the swelling did decrease a lot. Liu put her clothes on, and couldn't help crying: "This group of people is really ruthless, whose daughter is not pampered, and she actually has such a heavy hand." ”
"Mother, don't cry, if it goes on like this, my daughter won't be able to go out in a few days." Jiang Liuyu comforted a few words, Liu wiped away his tears, and demanded strongly: "Even if it is good, you must take care of it well, my daughter's family, the most taboo is to leave any root of the disease." ”
"Okay, listen to my mother."
Jiang Liuyu coquettishly persuaded for a while, and finally persuaded Liu away. Jiang Liuyu lay down, looked at the roof, and remembered last night's dream, as if in a daze, Su Jingye appeared and gave her a pill, she got better so quickly.
Could it be that the dream has come true? Jiang Liuyu shook his head, impossible, Su Jingye must be in his palace. Yesterday, the queen secretly asked her to enter the palace, and even her father and mother didn't know where he knew about it.
Moreover, even if it is really Su Jingye, I am afraid that she is not as gentle as she was in her dream.
*
Jiang Liuyu was punished yesterday, and the queen also calculated a bad breath, and this morning she was refreshed and asked someone to invite the prince here.
The prince sat impatiently on the chair and waited for a long time before the queen cleaned up.
"The palace is late, so the prince has been waiting for a long time." The queen smiled lightly and sat on the throne.
The prince saluted the queen according to the rules, and finally sat on the chair and said impatiently: "The queen mother can say whatever she wants." "The queen is bent on wooing him to be her own support, and the prince naturally doesn't have to be respectful to her.
The emperor really didn't care about his unkindness, but smiled at each other: "Prince, you and I have the same purpose, I naturally won't waste the prince's time and delay our plan." ”
Seeing that the prince finally calmed down, the queen asked people to serve a cup of red robes, and then said slowly: "The prince has heard of Jiang Liuyu. ”
"But the daughter of a businessman, the queen mother once wanted her to enter my house, which is too much to promote her." The prince only sniffed the tea, and then put the teacup down.
"Although she is not from a high background, she has the ability to make money with one hand, and this palace thinks that she may be able to become the help of the prince."
Regarding the queen's words, the prince scoffed, "There are a group of capable people under this palace, and they still need to rely on a woman to give advice, which is inevitably ridiculous and generous." ”
"What the prince said is true, but Jiang Liuyu and King Jing have a deep relationship." The queen picked up the teacup and gently blew away the tea leaves on the water, "King Jing almost resisted for her." ”
"This matter has also been heard by the main hall," the prince nodded, and sneered again: "When Su Jingye was outside, the main hall saw that he had a great relationship with this woman. ”
"In order to cover Su Jingye, this woman hid all the people I sent. If they hadn't exposed themselves, I wouldn't have known that he had been under his nose all along. ”
"It turns out that His Highness has known for a long time." The queen put the cup down, "In that case, the crown prince and the palace will make good use of the weakness of this King Jing." ”
"For the sake of a mere woman, she actually left a handle for herself, Su Jingye really didn't have a big picture." The crown prince laughed at Su Jingye for a few words, and then turned to look at the queen, "What are the plans of the queen mother?" ”
"The county lord of Anning has invited Jiang Liuyu to attend the wedding banquet, according to her relationship with King Jing, she must not let go so easily, and the wedding banquet must be very lively." The Empress sneered, "This is also thanks to His Majesty's marriage, which gave us this opportunity." ”
