The emperor opened the curtain and walked out, sighing at the same time as the queen mother.

"Is the emperor dead? The mourning family did their best. Since neither of them had any intentions, they didn't want to force it anymore. ”

The Queen Mother poured a cup of tea for the emperor.

Li Chun had a pimple in his heart, and the mourning family always felt that he was not suitable. Let this be the end of the matter. ”

"I see."

"Jinxi's kid speaks straight, don't blame her, the emperor."

"She opened and closed her mouth from Li Chun's point of view, how can I blame her? Although she is cunning, she cares about Li Chun in her heart, and she is not greedy, which is good. I am still wise, lest I stuff the wrong person for Li Chun that day. At the moment, it seems that it was a mistake. ”

"Who calculates who is not certain! The relationship between the two is so good, but don't the emperor be calculated, right? The Queen Mother teased.

"......" the emperor snorted softly, anyway, he didn't believe that he was calculated.

Right now, seeing that Li Chun and Cheng Ziyu don't even want the throne at their fingertips, although the emperor is a pity, he is also paradoxically relieved.

In fact, just now he was also tempted by Cheng Ziyu.

The prince has been to the General's Mansion several times, how can he not know?

Li Chun is relieved, but Cheng Ziyu is too capable.

Especially found that Cheng Ziyu could be good friends with the crown prince and the fifth child at the same time, how could the emperor rest assured? It's not terrible for a woman to call for wind and rain, but if she is ambitious at the same time, it's terrifying.

Finally, it's okay.

The emperor was quite satisfied with the result.

As long as she doesn't care about being in a high position, she can toss at will.

In this way, he can rest assured that he will delegate greater power to Li Chun! Otherwise, with such a lot of power, you can't do something if you want to! He was so afraid that he couldn't sleep at night.

……

After coming out of the Queen Mother, Cheng Ziyu went to Chuxiu Palace to visit Tian Guiren.

Cheng Ziyu felt a little unsure.

In the previous life, Tian Guiren was pregnant for about the same time as in this life. But her pregnancy was smooth sailing for nine months, and finally gave birth to a big fat son, and she was promoted to Wanyi in one fell swoop. The holy grace continues, and the scenery is infinite.

In this life, she is still very favored, and the fetus is still stable, why can't the child be saved?

Is it the concubine's plot?

But in this situation, who cares about one more or less prince? Even the queen can't look down on it, right? Not to mention that the queen is still "sick".

And after the last banquet in Cining Palace, the harem was even more loose and tight, and several thorny concubines were planted, who else had the strength and courage to do it easily?

Cheng Ziyu couldn't figure it out.

The baby is more than three months old. Last time, the imperial doctor reported the good news in public, indicating that the fetus was stable.

This change is a bit strange.

Although in the past and present lives, many things have changed because of himself and Zhu Changan, but those things are related to the overall situation, what does it have to do with Tian Guiren and others? Her previous identity was just a relative of a merchant family, and her family background was not obvious, who could take advantage of her? You have to be able to take advantage of it! After entering the palace, she is also a duty, who did she offend?

Cheng Ziyu has a good impression of Tian Guiren.

First, they are both from Jiangnan, and they are quite speculative in their words.

In addition, the last time he shot at the concubine, Tian Guiren and Shi Guiren were the first to stand up and help prove that Ruyi lied, although it was only a small shot, but Cheng Ziyu remembered it.

So Cheng Ziyu brought a lot of things to visit.

She wanted to ask a few more words, and if she could help, she would help, but Tian Guiren was in a bad mood, so she wiped her tears when she mentioned it, and she had no intention of replying to her at all.

Cheng Ziyu could only comfort a few words and withdrew.

To say that this Chuxiu Palace is newly dressed, not to mention the environment, the palace is only a master of Tian Guiren, neither need to be pressed by high-ranking concubines, the emperor values it, and sent several experienced grandmothers to guard it, why did he go out for a walk, and the child said that it was gone?

After returning home, she and Li Chun also mentioned this matter.

"Well, the emperor let me check! Later, it seemed that it was said that there was thunder the day before, and Tian Guiren was shocked, and he had nightmares several times at night. When I woke up the next morning, I felt uncomfortable in my abdomen, and when I went out in the afternoon, I slipped and fell, and the child was gone. ”

"That's it?"

"That's all!"

"Have you checked all the food? Didn't you find out who was doing it to her, and who she was in love with or had close ties with? ”

"I've checked it all, and there's no problem."

"That's ......"

Cheng Ziyu lay down on the bed.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she remembered the day when Cining Palace held a banquet, Tian Guiren was taken out of the happy pulse, and after being promoted to the next level, he couldn't smile at the bottom of his eyes, and he was slightly perfunctory. Later, when she was alone, her expression was even more complicated and lonely. At that time, Cheng Ziyu felt strange.

Pregnant with a dragon heir is a great thing, isn't it?

In her previous life, after she confirmed the happy pulse, she was happy.

Thinking about it at the moment, did she know that the child couldn't be saved? Is someone threatening her? But whether she has children or not, she can't harm anyone's interests at all!

Something seemed to come to mind in his mind, but it was fleeting, and he couldn't catch it at all and asked Li Chun to interrupt.

He reached out and stroked her lower abdomen.

"If you're pregnant, I'm not going to let you go out. You can't go to the workshop either. You can only stay at home. ”

"Ten months pregnant, do you want to suffocate me?" Coupled with two months of confinement, wouldn't it be a year of not being able to move? Thinking of the "ten eight" again, her back was inexplicably cold.

"It's too dangerous to get pregnant. Can you not go out or not go out. ”

"Since it's dangerous, let's have two fewer children."

"Don't you think about it!"

Li Chun grinned: "Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless you think of a way to feed my appetite and make me eat and taste the marrow, I can't stand those ten months of waiting......" he smirked and stood up, kicking and beating as she kicked and punched......

Recently, Cheng Ziyu's troubles have come one after another.

First, the He clan finally arrived in Jingxi.

Mrs. He was sick because she was scared on the boat.

He didn't say much in the letter, but in Jiang Yuxuan's letter to report safety, he still told Cheng Ziyu the ins and outs of the future.

It turned out that one night on the way south, their boat ran into a bandit.

Jiang Yuxuan was glad that they were on an official boat, saying that a group of black-clothed bandits were about to rob the boat when they swung their knives, but they were frightened by the officers and soldiers and retreated, otherwise they would definitely lose a lot......

Cheng Ziyu scratched her head. Water bandits? She'd heard of it, but she'd never met such a person, so she didn't know about it.

"Are the water bandits in Da Zhou rampant?" She asked Li Chun.

"There will always be. Just like bandits, every dynasty and every generation, whether it is a peaceful and prosperous era or when the people are not living, there will be more or less. Water bandits are more difficult to catch and suppress than mountain bandits.

Mountain bandits have a fixed stationing place and range of activities, unlike water bandits, who used to be loaded into sand ships and cargo ships, and hid in the dock or route, which is impossible to prevent. You can change places at any time, and you can also follow the target and run around, so it is not easy to capture. I've been grasping it, and I've been unable to catch it.

However, in recent years, the wind and rain in the Great Zhou Dynasty have been smooth, the taxes are not heavy, and the trouble of water bandits is not serious, mainly because of a few old stubborn forces. The imperial court also did not obey, but fortunately, their strength has been greatly damaged in recent years, and they do not dare to grab official ships. ”

"Well, then my mother and they are lucky." It's an official ship......

Cheng Ziyu looked forward to it every day, and finally got the news that Mrs. He was recovering, but the He family came with a letter over there.

said that after returning home, I found out that the gentle girl had a serious cough. In March, before the wind chill healed, he began to be busy with the shipment of Ziyi Xuan, causing the cough to come and go, and it never got better.

He was startled when he went back, saying that Wen Wen was thin into skin and bones, had a low-grade fever, and coughed so much that even his lungs were about to come out.

He was distressed and complained that she didn't care about her body, but the girl said that she had been taking medicine. Zi Yixuan can't do without her...... Right now, He has ordered Wen Rou to go back and rest.

However, He Shi asked the doctor about the condition, but the doctor told her that the disease had dragged on for too long, and it was difficult to eradicate it, so she could only try to see if it could be alleviated......

Cheng Ziyu was anxious when she heard this.

What are these words? It clearly means that it will not be cured.

He also sensed the meaning of the doctor's words, even if he was looking for someone to go to Jinling to find a famous doctor. In addition, He asked people to collect all the medicines and prescriptions that they had eaten gently, and sent them to Cheng Ziyu together.

It's already in July, and it's been more than four months since March, so how much sin should it be about?

Cheng Ziyu went to the palace and waited in the imperial hospital for a day with the prescription, and begged a few imperial doctors to prescribe a prescription and asked for a lot of cough medicines, and after preparing a lot of supplements, he found someone to send them to Jingxi quickly. She told He that no matter how much money was spent, no matter what medicine was needed, she must make Wen Rou better.

With the painting by her side, she can still use her actions to be good. But Sister Wenwen, in the past and present life, it was the affection owed by two lifetimes, Cheng Ziyu hasn't had time to do anything, if she is gone, how can she accept it!

Cheng Ziyu was in a hurry.

She thought that if Gentleness was no longer good, maybe she would go back to Jingxi to take care of her personally, or personally bring her to Beijing for treatment.

More than half a month later, news finally came from Jingxi. Gentle's condition stabilized, and although the low-grade fever still recurred, the cough was slightly relieved.

But Cheng Ziyu had just breathed a sigh of relief, and it hadn't been three days before he lifted it again.

She has been in the workshop most of the time lately, and only goes to Cheng's house once a few days. As for the He family, after the failure of the last persuasion, she didn't go for more than half a month. She and He Sijing had met a few times in the workshop, but Hongyu, because she stood with He Sijing last time, was still angry with her.

On this day, she happened to pass by He's house, so she bought a few boxes of snacks to see that Hongyu could "forgive" herself.

Of course, there is another reason, when she was busy with work yesterday, someone from the He family came to talk.

Hongyu's girl was inexplicable: "Our young lady said that He Mansion is empty, she is idle every day and has nothing to do, and she wants to find two people to accompany her in the mansion, so I came to ask what you mean." ”

Cheng Ziyu has been out of shape because of her gentle illness a while ago, and she has not done a lot of things. Now it's a gentle matter, she is busy like a spinning top, how can she care about the trivial things like sesame mung beans when she hears it.

"She is the mistress of the He family, and she is good at making her own decisions about such a trivial matter. Don't have to ask me. ”

"......"

"Tell my sister that I'll go see her when I'm free in the next few days. You see, I have a lot of work to do. I have to enter the kiln in two days, and there are two batches of goods to rush. Liu'er got two new peaches there, and you just brought them back......"

The girl retreated, and Cheng Ziyu didn't feel anything.

It wasn't until almost sunset that she got into the carriage and was about to go home, when she saw He Sijing rushing out of the foreign affairs office of the workshop with an angry face, whipping the horse and galloping away.

Cheng Ziyu asked someone, only to find out that He Sijing's little servant came to report that his wife had brought someone home...... I don't know why Second Master He exploded when he heard it......

Cheng Ziyu then remembered that after Hongyu's girl conveyed Hongyu's strange words in the afternoon, she wanted to stop talking but was busy with her own affairs.

He Sijing was so angry, and he didn't know who Hongyu had brought back.

Cheng Ziyu sighed, isn't there any reason for it? Looking at He Sijing's appearance, he is probably going to make trouble again.

Cheng Ziyu found someone to go to He Mansion to keep an eye on, if the two of them made trouble again, they would come to spread the word, and the night would be peaceful. I asked this morning, saying that there was no noise last night, but Second Master He stayed in the front yard and left as soon as it was dawn.

Cheng Ziyu thought about it and felt that no matter how busy she was, she had to take a look.

But it was also at this time that she realized that Hongyu's state was really bad.

Ruby has always been an out-of-the-boxer.

But when Cheng Ziyu saw Hongyu, she saw that she was sitting under the vine with her back to her.

Cheng Ziyu suddenly found that her sister had lost so much weight, and the robe was so wide on her. And her whole person gives people a taste of desolation and detachment.

Cheng Ziyu didn't like this strange feeling. In her heart, Hongyu should be a layman born to the sun and full of anger.

But at this moment, the red jade's round face is gone, and it is replaced by a sickly dish. The description is withered and frightening.

"What's the way it looks? Are you not feeling well? Have you seen a doctor? Finding that Hongyu's eyes were full of indifference, Cheng Ziyu was even more frightened. She had never seen a ruby like this. That calm appearance is not like her at all. Where did the fiery temperament go?

"What are you here to do? Isn't it busy? Hongyu avoided Cheng Ziyu's hand reaching out to probe her forehead.

Hongyu's alienation also made Cheng Ziyu very uncomfortable, and she began to feel distressed.

"Is this mad at me? No matter how busy I am, I won't forget you. Look, it's all what you like to eat. Give it a try. Zhiwei Zhai's milk rose cream, queued up to buy. Gluttony, right? ”

"No need. Ziyu, I don't eat sweetness anymore. Quit. Hongyu looked into the distance, and then said lightly: "Life has no taste, can you be happy if you eat too much sweet?" I don't want to kid myself. ”

Cheng Ziyu was shocked and looked at Hongyu blankly. Only then did I realize that Hongyu was very serious. She's not happy, she's not happy.

How so?

Cheng Ziyu suddenly panicked.

Following Hongyu's line of sight, she saw that not far away, a plain woman was walking quickly with her head down.

Behind her, there was also a little girl.

So, this man is not a minion.

This is the person who Ruby got into the mansion yesterday? The one who makes He Sijing angry?

Cheng Ziyu narrowed her eyes and frowned at Hongyu.

She could clearly see a small smile on Ruby's lips.

Not a happy laugh, but contempt, with a little contempt and disdain, and self-deprecation.

Cheng Ziyu came here for a while, and this was the first time she saw Hongyu's expression. It shows that she cares about the person who comes.

So this is the crux of the problem?
