Chapter 468: Counting the Floating Lives
"Gonggong Li, the slave begs you, you can go and spread the word for the slave and maid, the third elder brother is very bad, and the high fever does not go away. The mouth is muttering and muttering nonsense. The pure concubine is anxious, the six gods have no master, at this time, only the presence of the emperor can stabilize the hearts of the third elder brother and the pure concubine. Feng Lan knelt in front of the Heart Cultivation Palace, holding Li Yu's trouser leg with both hands, wailing nonstop.
"No matter what the third elder brother says, it's the emperor's bloodline, Gonggong Li, please. The slave can't let the third elder brother have trouble. Feng Lan knew that it was not so easy to see the emperor, but this may be the last chance for Concubine Chun to turn over. If the emperor is really so affectionate that he doesn't even care about the life and death of the third elder brother, then there is really no hope of survival.
But as long as there is a little hope, she and Concubine Chun can't let it go.
"Come on, you." Li Yu impatiently kicked away Fenglan's hands: "Didn't I say it, the emperor is meeting important courtiers inside to discuss state affairs, and he ordered that no one should disturb him." You are crying so recklessly, and you still have to ask me to pass it on, don't you let me touch the emperor's mold. The third elder brother is not good, so he hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to take a look.
When the emperor is busy with important matters, he will naturally go to visit his brother. I've said it here several times, why don't you get oil and salt. It seems as if I don't allow you to ask to see the emperor, but in fact, you yourself have the audacity to ignore the holy will, why do you still have to pull me and push me into the fire pit? ”
Feng Lan wiped her tears and kowtowed, choking up: "Good father-in-law, how can the slave and maid be embarrassed by you." But the third elder brother was sinned, and the slave maid was so anxious that she really had to beg her father-in-law like this. Relieved a little, Fenglan tried his best to make himself look calmer, so as not to lose his temper to the extreme: "The third elder brother is itchy and unbearable, and the pure concubine Niangniang has not slept for several days and nights, and she is tired.
The night before, the imperial doctor prescribed new medicine, and the mother took it for the third elder brother, saying that the itching had eased somewhat. The third elder brother fell asleep, Niangniang, and then took a nap. Who knows, Niangniang only fell asleep for a short time, and was awakened by the painful groaning of the third elder brother, and found that the third elder brother could not bear the itching pain and scratched many sores. ”
People's hearts are flesh and blood, and hearing such words, Li Yu was also uncomfortable in his heart. After all, the third elder brother is not yet ten years old, and after such a vicious illness, he really suffered. But as a minion, the emperor's holy decree cannot be disobeyed, even if Li Yu has the heart to pity the third elder brother, he definitely does not dare to disobey the holy decree.
"Okay, okay, don't say any more." Li Yu interrupted Fenglan's words, and said with a frown: "After a few adults have discussed important matters with the emperor, I will pass it on for you, as for whether the emperor will go or not, it is not for me to be the master." If you really pity the third elder brother, just wait here. If you dare to make a loud noise and disturb the emperor's purity, don't blame me for dragging you to the Criminal Justice Division for disposal. ”
Things can only be like this, Fenglan knows that Li Yu must not dare to tell lies, there must be ministers at this time. She was just worried that the queen would come back from praying for blessings and get this letter. must be to rush ahead of the emperor to see the third elder brother. In this way, even if the emperor goes again, it will be useless after all. No matter how good Concubine Chun's strategy is, she can't be used in front of the queen.
is really in a hurry in his heart, but it's a pity that whether it's a storm or a pure concubine, it's never for the sake of the third elder brother. What I am worried about is nothing more than whether the grace of Zhong Cui Palace can be recovered. "Thank you, thank you, father-in-law."
Feng Lan tugged at his heart, silently got up and stood on the side of the Heart Cultivation Palace, anxiously looking forward to the Minister of the Interior coming out quickly.
"Yo, isn't this Big Brother, why are you here?" Xue Guining was lazy and slack, leaning on the doorpost of Changchun Palace and sipping hot tea in the purple clay pot, but he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the eldest brother and his party coming in a hurry.
"Is the emperor there?" Yonghuang's bright eyes turned slightly, and his smile was thick: "Today is the fifteenth, the Lantern Festival, and the sons and daughters naturally have to enter the palace to greet the emperor's mother." ”
Xue Guining saluted respectfully, and then said, "Big Brother really has a heart." But it was unfortunate that the queen was concerned about the illness of the third elder brother, no, she went to the Qin'an Palace early in the morning in the auspicious costume of five blessings to pray for blessings. It must be a while before I get back. ”
Yonghuang sighed and frowned: "Hasn't the third brother's illness improved yet?" Even so, I went to the Qin'an Hall and prayed for him with the emperor's mother. ”
"Huh." Xue Guining wanted to do something for the eldest brother, but was stopped.
"You don't have to worry about it, I'll go myself." Yonghuang smiled politely, without losing his affinity: "It just so happens that I have been talking to the emperor for a few days. ”
Xue Guining watched the eldest brother leave, and then he showed a sad expression.
Seeing that the master's face was not happy, Xiao Houzi had to lean in close and ask: "The eldest brother is modest and polite. Why does the master seem to dislike it. ”
Because Xiao Houzi was measured, his voice was not loud, and there was no disgust or superfluous expression when he spoke, Xue Guining sighed slightly. "There are many things that cannot be just taken at the surface. You think, the third elder brother's biological mother is a pure concubine, but the eldest elder brother has been a motherless child for a long time. Among the emperor's elder brothers, only the third elder brother and the eldest elder brother are slightly closer. If it were you, would you really cherish the love of your mother, and might threaten your royal brother? ”
His eyes tightened, and Xiao Houzi couldn't help but tremble: "The master is saying that the eldest brother is nothing more than a show, and he wants to win the trust of the queen mother." If the queen mother cherishes him, then maybe the emperor will love him a little more......"
Xue Guining smiled happily and pointed to the purple clay pot that was put aside. Xiao Houzi hurriedly handed it over and said respectfully: "Master, please use it." ”
"You monkey cub, but you are a little bit clear, a little clever." Xue Guining took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "It's useless to say more, you just know it in your own heart." Right now, our queen mother is lonely on her knees, and maybe she will really raise the eldest brother by her side. In this way, the eldest brother is not only the eldest son, but also the child raised by the queen, and his noble status can be imagined. ”
Xue Guining had some reservations about what he said, just because he didn't really think much of the big brother in his heart.
Xiao Houzi said very shrewdly: "Good is very good, after all, whether it can be done or not depends on the eldest brother's own creation, right." And it's not the master's turn to worry about him. The master still drinks more hot tea, it is important to warm up and warm the body, this is a good tea rewarded by the queen's mother. ”
"Then you can add some hot water to the master." Xue Guining has nothing to be proud of, he has served in the palace for all these years, and he has served by the queen's side for all these years. The most proud is to accept the apprentice of Xiaohouzi, who is a small ghost, clever and filial. With him by his side, life is much better.
Yonghuang asked Xiao Xingzi, who was accompanying him, to stay outside the Qin'an Palace, ready to go in alone. I thought, since I have already helped Concubine Chun once, why not do it to the end, so I just help again.
Xiao Xingzi didn't understand what he meant, and he had to persuade: "Brother don't go, the slave thinks that last time you insisted on going to Brother A's office, it has aroused the suspicion of the queen's mother, if this time, you deliberately delay the time and help the pure concubine to succeed, wouldn't you be convicted of helping the pure concubine." The queen mother is a clear-eyed person, how much she hates the pure concubine, how can you not know, brother. ”
"Because I know, I don't have a choice." Yonghuang knew how vicious Concubine Chun's methods were, and if she hadn't forced her again and again, he would definitely not have sent the bedding used by scabies patients to Ah Ge's house. It is equivalent to saying that he repaid the pure concubine, how can the pure concubine give up. After all, for now, Yongzhang is still her only chance to win.
"When you passed by the Heart Cultivation Hall just now, you didn't see it. Fenglan's miserable appearance, isn't it just to invite the emperor to take a look at Yongzhang. In fact, Concubine Chun is looking forward to the emperor's past. If I don't help her delay the queen's footsteps, once all the previous work is lost, she will definitely have to settle accounts with me. ”
Xiao Xingzi nodded as if he didn't understand, and he was still a little worried in his heart: "The slave only knows that the person the emperor cares about the most now is the queen's mother." Which is more important, Brother can weigh it clearly. The voice slowly lowered, Xiao Xingzi looked around vigilantly, and then said truthfully: "The queen has no children under her knees, why don't you take advantage of it......"
Yonghuang knew that Xiao Xingzi was for his good, so he couldn't help but smile gently: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
At that time, Lan Xin was concentrating on reciting the scriptures of prayer, while Suo Lan and Jinlan were standing silently on both sides of the hall so that they could listen to the queen's dispatch at any time.
"Big brother?" Jinlan's eyes were sharp, and only then did a figure come in, and she saw clearly that it was the eldest brother, and couldn't help but hurriedly step forward. "The slave maid greets the eldest brother, the queen is praying for the third elder brother at this time, why is the eldest brother here?" What she means is that the queen doesn't like to be disturbed, and if the eldest brother has nothing to do, it is better to leave on his own.
Yonghuang didn't hear it, but smiled softly, and said with concern: "Yongzhang's illness is also the most worrying thing for me in my life, so naturally I have to pray for him together with the emperor's mother to feel at ease." ”
Suo Lan knew that the eldest brother was not good, so naturally he couldn't stop it. smiled respectfully: "Big brother, please." ”
Yonghuang nodded at her, and walked into the prayer hall with the hem of his clothes. His heart was a little heavy, a little painful. Thinking of everything in the Old Summer Palace back then, he still feels afraid. Eniang is such a big living person, and she died under the back window of Concubine Hui, this scene, if it weren't for the manipulation of Fujin who is in power, who would have done it so easily?
Just looking at the queen's back, Yonghuang's heart was already overturned. It's just that he has been lurking in the shadows for so many years, silently enduring it, and waiting for the opportunity to kill Yonglian, the queen's concubine, how could he not hold back his resentment at this moment. Silently kneeling down beside the queen, Yonghuang naturally had a pious face, and he couldn't see the flawed intentions.
