Chapter 22 The Queen Mother arrives
Jiang Ziyu didn't sleep long before the Queen Mother came over, and Nan Huaifeng felt a little distressed when she saw that she was awake instantly.
"Go to sleep again? I'm here, and nothing will happen. Nan Huaifeng didn't know why she was so wary, and it seemed that there was no time to sleep peacefully except when she was injured.
"Not necessarily." As soon as Jiang Ziyu's words fell, the subordinates around the Queen Mother pushed the door in, and the Queen Mother was wearing a bright yellow phoenix dress, with exquisite makeup and a luxurious phoenix crown. She's only thirty-five or sixteen this year, but she can also wear this outfit.
"The prince woke up, but he still feels unwell?" The Queen Mother took the wood-inlaid food box from her subordinates, and said with concern: "I just asked the small kitchen to make some nourishing meals, and seeing that Ziyu's face is so bad, I think I should have worked a lot to take care of you." ”
Jiang Ziyu lowered his eyes and didn't want to get involved in the conversation between them, Nan Huaifeng knew that there was no tangible evidence to bring down the Queen Mother, and he couldn't tear his face at the moment, so he had to say gloomily: "The Queen Mother bothered." ”
"The prince has seen outside, I heard that the prince withdrew the guards of the Chengqian Palace and killed the guards? So what is An'er's safety? The Queen Mother sat in the soft collapse, and the indescribable winch was exhausted under the flow of beautiful eyes.
"The guards of the Chengqian Hall can't abide by their duties, and they can't protect the lord and kill them. As for An'er, the king will take him to the palace until An'er recovers to the year of dancing spoons and then let him return to the palace. ”
Nan Huaifeng categorically will not let his nephew live in this deep palace alone, even if he gives him the palace, An'er is more important than this world.
"Isn't there no owner in the palace?" The Queen Mother's mind is lively, if she lets her Yi'er come back to live in the palace at this time, wouldn't it be justified?
Nan Huaifeng hooked his lips and sneered, and had already prepared a foolproof plan and said: "Niangniang, don't worry, most of the princes in this palace are adults, only Lao Jiu is only eight years old this year, except for the remaining princes who have not been crowned kings, they will all be crowned kings to go out of the palace, and the biological mother is still allowed to go out of the palace with the biological mother." Before the emperor returned to the palace, all the princes and princes were not allowed to stay in the palace. ”
The Queen Mother was slightly surprised, pinched the handkerchief and pulled a little difficult smile: "How can this work?" ”
"Why not? This harem should also be cleaned up, as for Niangniang, whether you are willing to continue to manage the affairs of the harem in the palace, or wait for the fifth child to come back and move out to live with him, it's up to you. Nan Huaifeng's tone was cold, but the number of etiquette could not be picked out at all.
The Queen Mother was speechless with a smile, seeing that Nan Huaifeng's posture was insistent on this, she couldn't refute anything, and she gritted her teeth and said after relieving her anger for a long time: "It's all according to the prince, and when the mourning family goes back, I will pass the decree to the six palaces." ”
"Well, there are still the rules of each palace that are fixed, and the flowers and branches they dress up are useless after the imperial examination has passed away for a long time, and the rouge gouache should be saved, and there is really no need to be as extravagant as before." The harem has more than 10,000 gold every month, and most of it is used for rouge gouache clothes and jewelry. Although the Chu State is prosperous, they can't be allowed to squander it like this.
"Listen to the prince." The Queen Mother couldn't pull out a few smiles, this one was clearly aimed at her. The palaces that originally cost a lot of money in the harem were those with princes, and they were also exploited by her a lot, in order to get some officials from the DPRK and China to pave the way for her son, Nan Huaifeng did mean it or not, but the result was indeed a lot of losses for her.
Nan Huaifeng took a sip of tea, and the Queen Mother sat and slowly exhaled several breaths, and said with a worried emotion: "This matter is in a uproar, what is the reason for the prince's illness?" The princess leading troops to besiege the imperial city will definitely make the people uneasy, how to explain it? ”
"Niangniang don't worry, this king will deal with this matter, but he is still bothering Niangniang to tell the harem that if half a word is passed out, this king will be severely punished if he doesn't remember the old feelings. As for the one who harmed the king, he also found it. ”
Nan Huaifeng's hand clenched the cup slightly, and then shouted coldly: "Morning Star, bring Mama Chang over." ”
The Queen Mother's eyelids twitched almost inaudibly, and Jiang Ziyu silently withdrew her eyes and knew in her heart that it was really related to her.
"Mama Chang is not your royal brother's nurse? Could it be that she poisoned you? The Queen Mother immediately looked at Nan Huaifeng in surprise, as if she didn't know anything.
Nan Huaifeng didn't answer, and Morning Star brought Mama Chang over not long after he went.
"How is the prince's body? I heard that you are sick and the slave maid has been wanting to come and see it, but it is a pity that the Chengqian Hall is heavily guarded, and the slave and maid can't come in. Mama Chang came in to salute everyone, and Jiang Ziyu sneered slightly-everyone in this palace can act.
Nan Huaifeng lowered his eyes and seemed to be a little unbearable, Jiang Ziyu looked at him slightly, as if asking-Why don't I come?
Nan Huaifeng nodded slightly, already acquiescing.
"Mama Chang, yesterday you sent a plate of snacks to the Forbidden King's Mansion, right?" Jiang Ziyu opened his mouth lightly, his expression was as cold as usual, and people had no desire to get close.
Mama Chang looked at Jiang Ziyu suspiciously, got up and asked, "Who is this girl?" ”
"Forget, you haven't seen me yet, I'm the princess of Nan Huaifeng who has married the door in a sedan chair." Jiang Ziyu looked at Mama Chang with a face, only to see Mama Chang frowning, a little dissatisfied: "The young lady who is out of the concubine can't be on the stage, the prince has to carefully polish his eyes." ”
Jiang Ziyu hooked his lips and said slowly: "You don't have to transfer right and wrong, that plate of dim sum contains highly poisonous, and the evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied by you." ”
Mama Chang was startled, a little flustered in her heart, and retorted loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I harm the prince? ”
"No, look it up and you'll know. If you make that dim sum yourself, you must need ingredients, and I inquired that all the ingredients in the palace are in the imperial dining room, and you need to keep a record of what you need to take away separately. If you didn't do it yourself, then who made such a thing and shouted out to confront each other. Besides, the attendant who sent something to the palace could also call it out and ask who asked him to send snacks to the palace. ”
Jiang Ziyu said unhurriedly, the more she talked about Mama Chang, the more weak her heart became, and indeed many things were done by her hands, so she said that if the servant had not seen her with her own eyes, he would never have sent something to the palace in her name.
"Mama Chang, although you and the prince are not as close as the first emperor, they will take care of them for a few days. It's your master's son again, so why don't you kill him next time? Could it be that someone instructed you? ”
Jiang Ziyu carefully looked at Mama Chang's expression and actions, Mama Chang knelt on the ground and almost didn't dare to move, but when she said this, she subconsciously turned her head slightly, as if she was looking at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother just casually fiddled with the jade bracelet in her hand, and Mama Chang hung her head and gritted her teeth for a long time, and finally recognized it.
"Yes, everything was done by the old slave, the old slave thought that the prince wanted to snatch away the country left by the first emperor, so he wanted to harm him and let him return the throne to the original owner, it was all done by the slave maid, please condemn the prince."
Mama Chang knelt on the ground and kowtowed, Nan Huaifeng thought for a long time, and had mixed feelings in her heart, "That's it, give the poison bar." ”
Jiang Ziyu turned his head to look at him, there seemed to be a question in his eyes, Nan Huaifeng just shook his head at her slightly, he knew what she wanted to say.
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Mama Chang kowtowed heavily, turned her head and knelt down in front of the emperor and kowtowed deeply, Morning Star took people down, Nan Huaifeng looked tired, and the Queen Mother naturally had the vision to get up and say a few polite words, and then turned around and left.
The purpose of her coming here has been achieved, it is not difficult to find out the source of the poison with Nan Huaifeng and Jiang Ziyu's skills, it is because of her that she will let Chang Mama go, Nan Huaifeng is powerful, but he also has weaknesses.
The people who come out of the battlefield are always too affectionate and righteous.
"You know that she was coerced, so you should ask who is behind the scenes, and there will be many clues if you follow her to investigate." Jiang Ziyu hated iron a little, she didn't believe that Nan Huaifeng didn't expect this.
"I know." Nan Huaifeng couldn't bear it in his eyes, and Jiang Ziyu was puzzled: "Are you soft-hearted? ”
Nan Huaifeng put down the teacup, looked at Jiang Ziyu and said, "People have feelings, what would happen to you if it were you?" ”
Jiang Ziyu was stunned, would it be her? Jiang Ziyu was stunned for a long time, and finally got up silently and walked out.
"You said, I'm cold-blooded, I thought you saw through it."
Nan Huaifeng looked at her back and realized that he had said the wrong thing, and wanted to explain, but in the end he didn't say anything, but just swallowed it back in one gulp.
"Uncle Huang shouldn't talk to my aunt like this, my aunt is very good." The little emperor jumped down from the soft collapse, and the startled Nan Huaifeng sat up and reprimanded: "Who allowed you to jump like this?" Don't know your body? ”
The little emperor flattened his mouth and was a little aggrieved: "Yesterday, my aunt cooked medicine for An'er, and my aunt said that my body was not as weak as before and that I could move, and my aunt also said that I should exercise more, saying that my body would be better faster." ”
Nan Huaifeng looked at his aggrieved appearance and knew that he had overreacted, beckoned to An'er, and said, "You like her so much?" ”
"The imperial aunt is very good, good to An'er, and good to uncle." Nan Qian'an entered the palace at the age of six, and lost his biological parents at the age of eight, and the people he has seen say more and say less and less, he has long learned to observe words and feelings, and know who is really good to him and who is hypocritical.
Aunt Huang was really good to him, because he knew that Aunt Huang didn't ask for anything. If a person doesn't ask for anything, but is still kind to you, that's true.
"She ...... me All right? Nan Huaifeng couldn't help but think back to all the things he knew with Jiang Ziyu, it seemed that she could stay was all calculated by him, except for An'er's illness and this adventure to save him, there was nothing, right?
Nan Huaifeng was already weak just thinking about this, Jiang Ziyu helped him twice at the most critical time, which was good for him.
"Last night, the imperial aunt kept watch all night." Nan Qian'an puffed out her mouth and seemed to be a little angry with Nan Huaifeng, obviously the emperor is such a good person, why should the uncle be angry with her?
Nan Huaifeng glanced at the two empty bowls on the square table next to the bed, in order to cook medicine and porridge for him, it must have taken a lot of effort. Nan Huaifeng no longer thought about where the antidote came from, he felt the need to go to see Jiang Ziyu, and it seemed that he needed to apologize to her again.
