Chapter 175: The Queen Mother
"He decided to marry Wei Linxi according to the original date." Nalan Minhao hugged her from behind and replied quietly: "Wei Guogong originally disagreed, but Leng Chen personally went to beg him, and knelt for a day and a night before agreeing. ”
"Thank you Mr. Yun for me, if it weren't for him, Leng Chen would have gone crazy." Qian Fan didn't ask herself how many days she had been in a coma, for her, these few days of coma were enough for her to break free from that loss of control, although thinking of Xi'er's whole heart would hurt like a knife, but Qian Fan knew that what she should do now was not to be sad, but to take revenge.
"What are you going to do?" Nalan Minhao knew that Qian Fan had figured it out, and asked softly: "If you rashly enter the Yingwu Marquis Mansion, you must not be able to find out anything." ”
"Let's wait until Leng Chen's marriage is over." Qian Fan said lightly: "There are some things that have to be faced. ”
The news of Wei Linxi's accidental death from a cliff has long spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and Leng Chen's insistence on marrying the deceased Wei Linxi made those girls sigh endlessly, since ancient times, it is difficult to find an infatuated man, Wei Linxi can meet a man like Leng Chen but ends up with a thin face, if she is still alive, wouldn't it be a good story in the world?
The emperor and the queen mother naturally learned about this a long time ago, and the queen mother, who was not very neat, fell ill directly because of Wei Linxi's accidental death, no matter what, Xi'er is a child she grew up in the palm of her hand, and even surpassed the original nine princesses, and now the white-haired people are naturally sad to send the black-haired people.
On the day Leng Chen married Wei Linxi, there was a light rain in the sky, ten miles of red makeup, and it was difficult to find a beautiful woman, Leng Chen's heart seemed to have fallen into the cold ice, he vaguely remembered her curious appearance when they met at the beginning of the year, but unfortunately he could never see it again.
The wind rolled up the red yarn on the rank in the sedan chair and fell into Leng Chen's hands, and the young general who had once dominated the battlefield suddenly cried silently in place, and the people who watched it were all sad and wept.
It has been five days since Qianfan was summoned by the emperor, since Xi'er's death, Leng Chen has been drinking heavily every day, Qianfan had to let Lin Qing and Shunzi take care of him, and when he saw him drinking, he knocked him unconscious, and then fed him medicine, and Qianfan's whole person lost weight, and his face was so thin that only a pair of eyes were bright and amazing.
"Director, if you can't investigate Xi'er's matter, arrange for someone else to investigate." Although the emperor felt sorry for that child, but in the end, he was the king of a country, and he could easily control his emotions because of his mood, but he knew that Qianfan and Xi'er had a close relationship, so it was difficult to persuade him: "People can't be resurrected after death, but people who are alive have to continue to live." ”
"Weichen can continue to investigate," Qian Fan said calmly, "And there are already some eyebrows, but it still needs time." ”
"I really didn't see the wrong person, Wei Zhiyang is now drinking heavily every day, I hope you can persuade him," the emperor sighed and said: "I am getting old in the end, and I can't see these life and death farewells, and the Queen Mother's body is getting worse and worse, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not be able to survive this winter." ”
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother will definitely live a hundred years old," Qian Fan seemed to be indifferent to this matter, but still asked respectfully and politely: "I don't know what the emperor has to do with summoning Qian Fan today?" ”
"Oh, the Yun family has already sent good news back," the emperor seemed to remember the purpose of calling Qian Fan to come today, and immediately said: "The prince of Qingchiguo is going to the capital to conclude an alliance, so those spies in the capital must be dug up as soon as possible, otherwise the prince of Qingchiguo may not set off any storms in the capital after he comes." ”
"Wechen understands," Qianfan stood calmly in the main hall, not seeing a trace of sadness in her body, dutifully playing the role of the chief director, and said slowly: "Wechen will find out those people as soon as possible." ”
When Qianfan left, the emperor sighed and said, "It seems that this child is going to wash the capital in blood." ”
"Your Majesty, the chief looks very calm." Gonggong Liu, who was on the side, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry too much, Your Majesty. ”
"Worried?" The emperor looked at the post handed over by the Marquis of Yingwu to make the third prince the crown prince, and snorted coldly and said: "But some people are used to being comfortable, and they really need a lesson." ”
Gonggong Liu didn't dare to answer, but he didn't expect the queen to push the door directly in the next moment, looked at Gonggong Liu and said, "Go down, this palace has something to say to the emperor." ”
Seeing the emperor nodding, Gonggong Liu bowed respectfully and said goodbye, and when only the emperor and the queen were left in the main hall, the emperor calmly asked, "What is the important matter for the queen to come to me?" ”
"Your Majesty, the three princes have both ability and political integrity, why can't they be made princes?" The queen looked at the emperor indifferently and said: "Your Majesty, although the palace knows that the emperor and the palace have been separated from each other for a long time, but the emperor promised the palace back then, and the prince will definitely be a child of the palace!" ”
"The third child is not your child," the emperor was said by the queen with a very unpleasant face, but he still said softly: "Queen, you can rest assured, whether it is the third or the seventh, they will respect you, so you don't need to get involved in this matter at all." ”
"The Weiguo Mansion has no longer asked about the government because of Wei Linxi's affairs, and the Weiguo Mansion has returned to his hometown, how many people does the emperor think Shi'er still supports?" Until now, the queen still thought that Wei Guogong was Luo Langshi's person, so she said otherwise: "If the emperor wants to favor Concubine Yun's slut, you might as well give her the posterior position!" ”
"Queen!" The emperor was suddenly furious, slammed the table and said, "You are the mother of a country, can you say such words?" Lao Qi is also my child, why do you reject him everywhere? ”
"I ostracize him everywhere?" The queen suddenly laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if that Laurang Kong is your child!" ”
"Presumptuous!" The emperor immediately swept the things on the table to the ground and roared angrily: "I said that I should not mention that incident again, and my sons are not only the third and seventh!" ”
As soon as the emperor's words fell, the queen was stunned on the spot, and the emperor seemed to be speechless, his face was pale and he stopped talking, the two of them were silent for a long time, and the queen suddenly seemed to be much older, and said lightly: "It's the concubine who has overstepped, please forgive the emperor, and the concubine will retire first." ”
Watching the queen leave, the emperor suddenly covered his chest, gasping for breath, his body seems to be getting worse and worse recently, and he often feels chest tightness and headache, but the hospital just said that he has been overworked recently, and those tonic pills have no effect at all, and he slumped on the dragon chair weakly, and he was still haunted by the queen's words just now.
Not long after, there was a rumor in the capital that Concubine Yun was robbed by gangsters, but after coming back, she was pregnant with a child, that is, the current Seven Princes are not the princes.
Qianfan and Nalan Minhao came to visit the Seventh Prince, and found that the Seventh Prince was still practicing calligraphy in the study, Nalan Minhao looked at him calmly and said calmly: "You are not in a hurry or impatient, the gossip outside is flying all over the sky, what are you going to do?" ”
"As long as my father doesn't believe in this, there's nothing to worry about for me," Laurent put down his brush and poured tea for them with his own hands, "Wouldn't it be better to see how many people are loyal to me?" ”
"I received the news, this matter seems to be a thing of the past, have you ever asked Concubine Yun what is going on?" Qian Fan frowned and said, "Since those people can take out the previous things and talk about them, they naturally have evidence that we don't know, so we have to find a way to smooth this matter over." ”
"The crown prince of Qingchiguo brought people to the capital, but you had this incident, do you think the emperor will give you the task of receiving them?" Nalan Minhao was thinking about something else, and couldn't help but say a little strangely: "Could it be that this matter was done by someone sent by the queen?" ”
"Have you ever thought that maybe the prince of Qingchiguo doesn't want you to contact him?" Qian Fan suddenly put forward another idea, and said seriously: "If he is afraid that you will detect something, so he deliberately does not want to have too much contact with you, do you think this is possible?" ”
"Why do you think that?" Laurent looked at Qianfan in surprise, glanced at Nalan Minhao, a light suddenly flashed in his mind, and immediately said: "The person behind it is also in Qingchiguo, maybe he has a close relationship with the prince of Qingchiguo!" So that prince of Qingchiguo didn't want me to contact them, because he was afraid that I would find out some secrets! ”
"So, we must dispel the rumors before the prince of Qingchi Kingdom comes," Qian Fan nodded and said, "Now you can talk about that incident back then." ”
Laurang Kong smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I didn't know that there was such a thing until the rumors came out. ”
It turned out that Concubine Yun was very favored by the emperor when she was young, so the emperor would take her with her when she traveled, and the emperor and Concubine Yun paid a private visit that year, and did not bring many people, but she did not expect to be known by several rebels and have been following them.
In order to protect the emperor, Concubine Yun let the emperor ride away first, and sat in the sedan chair to make a bait, and then the emperor immediately transferred troops from the neighboring Yucheng to kill those people, and there was a matter of being hijacked.
"In other words, the emperor knew that Concubine Yun was pregnant," Qian Fan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "But people's words are terrifying, and this matter will be used by people with intentions no matter when." ”
"Master! Master! While the three of them were talking, Laurent's empty little servant ran in in a panic, and almost tripped over the threshold, and said in a panic: "Master! The Queen Mother is gone! ”
"How so!" Nalan Minhao suddenly got up and said in surprise: "I also went to see the Queen Mother at noon, and I had dinner with her!" ”
"So the Praetorian Guards have come to arrest His Royal Highness!" The little guy said anxiously: "It is said that His Royal Highness the Prince poisoned the Queen Mother, and arrested His Royal Highness the Prince in the name of the emperor!" ”
"What!" The three of them exclaimed in unison, "Impossible! ”
