Chapter 379: Anonymous Letter
Hanging yourself?
Yun Qixi was stunned for ten seconds.
Of course, she won't be sad, let alone sad, she just feels embarrassed.
When the queen gave Concubine Rong a piece of white silk to force her to die, did she ever think that one day she would end her life in the same way?
Yun Qixi went to see Shan Jingyan for the first time, and he was quite calm, as if he had long expected that this day would come.
"The Four Princes." Seeing that Shan Jingyan didn't speak, the little eunuch couldn't help but call softly.
"Got it."
Shan Jingyan's voice was very soft, there was no excitement, no sadness, and a sentence was mixed with a sigh.
The little eunuch knelt on the ground, a little overwhelmed.
When he first discovered that the queen was self-confessing, the little eunuch couldn't find Shan Ziyin, so he had to come to find Shan Jingyan.
But Shan Jingyan was just three simple words, and there was no follow-up. What did he do?
The little eunuch waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for Shan Jingyan to speak again, so he had to say goodbye and leave.
Yun Qixi remembered that the queen was Shan Jingyan's biological mother, and said, "Jingyan, go back to the palace, I am here." ”
Shan Jingyan stood up, walked to the bed, and looked at Zhang Qinxue, who was still unconscious.
"Nothing will change when you go back."
He looked so calm, but his face was noticeably paler.
And in the mourning hall of the former emperor, someone had already come to tell the queen about herself. As the new emperor, how to deal with this matter, countless pairs of eyes from the court are watching.
At that time, Shan Liancheng didn't think much about it, so he said, "Summoning the world, the first emperor died, the queen mother and the first emperor had a deep relationship, it was difficult to suppress the pain of yin and yang, and finally went with the first emperor. ”
Shan Liancheng, who had been keeping watch in the mourning hall all night, got up early in the morning, and when he went out from the mourning hall, Shan Hong, the uncle of the Three Emperors, who had been waiting outside the mourning hall, was the first to kneel down and worship the new emperor.
Compared with the day of the emperor's death, Shan Hong was dissatisfied with Shan Ziyin's oral administration, and Shan Liancheng was really convinced when he became the emperor.
As an imperial uncle who holds military power, many people are also watching his attitude at this turbulent critical moment. I am afraid that this move is also to show his position and loyalty.
Shan Hong's kneeling made the courtiers who were originally in a wait-and-see state also clear their attitude.
Shan Liancheng left the mourning hall and went straight to Yiyue Palace, the people in the palace were very discerning, and they had completely seen the situation in front of them, and everyone had already changed their words to call Shan Liancheng the emperor.
Along the way, in the face of these changes, Shan Liancheng's face was indifferent and his emotions were difficult to distinguish. It wasn't until I heard the child's cry outside Yiyue Palace that my expression finally eased up.
In the courtyard of Yiyue Palace, the fragile dead branches were bent by the snow.
Shan Liancheng walked through the courtyard, and before he entered the house, Qingli suddenly appeared at the door.
"Master, you're back." She smiled lightly and handed a warm hand in her hand to Shan Liancheng.
Shan Liancheng let out a light "um", heard the child's cry, and the corners of his lips gently tugged, and walked towards the back room.
Xiao Luzi took a step slower, and after Shan Liancheng entered, he looked at Qing Li, and reminded in a low voice, "Miss Qingli, it's time to change your title, Ye is no longer Ye, if you don't change your title, it will cause trouble." ”
Qing Li glanced at him, indifferent and stubborn.
"I won't change, but I have a master in my heart all my life."
In the back room, Shan Liancheng took the child from Concubine Hui's hands.
He hadn't held a child like this for a long time, and he hadn't had it since Lily of the Valley disappeared.
"Liancheng, you and Qixi are really hiding from this palace, and you don't even tell this palace when you have a child, is this palace still your mother?" Concubine Hui's first sentence was to blame.
"Mother, I don't want you to worry if I don't tell you, and it's not too late to know now."
Shan Liancheng fed the porridge to the child by himself, and the child didn't cry anymore, and ate it very seriously. He was very skillful in holding and feeding the child, and Concubine Hui was very surprised to see it, and finally sighed.
"It's okay, it's all over, the child is fine, Qixi and you are fine, otherwise, how can you let me live as a mother."
It is rare for the two mothers and sons to sit together and chat, but now that there is one more child, it seems to be a little more warm.
In the past, Qingli would definitely go in to make tea or help feed the children, but today Qingli has not gone in.
She sat beside a charcoal stove in the small side hall, holding her knees, and pressed her fingertips inward, but it was a pain that hurt to the bone, and she couldn't touch it.
On weekdays, her legs hurt when it rains, but it's still mild, and once it's icy and snowy, it's extremely difficult for her.
But now, no one can care about her pain. She seems to be an existence that will never be taken seriously.
She frowned and looked up at the snow outside the window, remembering many things, remembering many years ago, when she and he were just small children.
Two days later, Zhang Qinxue's injury finally stabilized, and Yun Qixi and Shan Jingyan brought her back to the palace.
In other words, since Zhang Qinxue handed over Lily of the Valley to her that night, she and Lily of the Valley have been separated for two more days. In the past two days, she didn't want to have children, she wanted to think about her children very much, she also missed her children's father, but Zhang Qinxue's injury could not be taken lightly.
Fortunately, she now knows that the child is safe, or at least reassured.
Back in the palace, with the help of other imperial doctors, Yun Qixi finally had time to take a look at Lily of the Valley.
I have to say that Yun Lanyue took really good care of Lily of the Valley, although she stayed in that simple little secret room for so long, Lily of the Valley was still white and fat, which was particularly likable.
Regarding Yun Lanyue, I heard that the people who went to search the Prince's Mansion came back to tell me that the Prince's Mansion was empty. The list was hidden in the prince's mansion, nor was Yun Lanyue, and even Wei Qingqing, who was hidden in the chair that day, was nowhere to be seen.
I heard that Wei Zhengqing didn't believe it, and personally sent someone to look for it, but he was still disappointed.
The people who went to search brought back a person, that is, Hongyu, and when they heard that they had found her, she hid in a corner of the kitchen and shivered, probably frightened. If it weren't for the searchers, they wouldn't have been able to find her.
She is a girl, she has never seen any big scenes, and it is reasonable that the changes that night scared her. After being brought back, she refused to speak when she saw anyone, but when she saw Yun Qixi as if she had suddenly seen her relatives, tears rolled out.
Yun Qixi knew that Hongyu was the only one who knew about the situation in the Prince's Mansion that night, but she was not in a hurry, she just settled Hongyu down, and when she calmed down, she would ask again.
There is a more important thing at the moment, and that is the funeral of the emperor and queen.
The emperor and queen mourned together, and the whole country mourned. Up and down the government and the opposition, everyone is vegetarian. Even Lily of the Valley, who is only five months old, as the only great-grandson of the emperor, has tailored a filial piety suit.
The emperor's mausoleum has already been built, and the day of burial is set on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.
There is a national funeral near the end of the year, and the people of Dayan dare not be happy this year.
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Yun Qixi suddenly received an anonymous letter.
"If you want to sit firmly in the emperor's city, come to the imperial tomb at the right time, and you will regret it if you don't come."
Inviting her to the imperial mausoleum, whether it is time or place, is very unfavorable to Yun Qixi. It looked like a trap, but Yun Qixi decided to go anyway.
The burial of the first emperor is the first major event that Shan Liancheng will do to succeed to the throne, and she can't let this matter go any way. She must let him sit firmly on this throne, after so many things, she has understood a truth, taking a step back will not open the sky, only by holding power in her own hands can she talk about the stability of her family.
For a person like Shan Liancheng, who was born into a royal family, power and stability go hand in hand.
In the evening, Yun Qixi was preparing for dinner, but she heard someone report that Zhang Qinxue had woken up, so she didn't bother to eat, so she put down the bowl and went to Yonghe Palace to see her.
Although she knew that Zhang Qinxue's vital signs were stable, after all, ancient times were not as advanced as modern medical technology, and she was always reassuring if she didn't wake up.
When Yun Qixi saw that Zhang Qinxue had really woken up and could eat some liquid food under the service of the palace maid, her hanging heart finally let go.
When I came out of the Yonghe Palace, it was already evening, and there was still more than an hour before the agreed time of the anonymous letter.
Since returning to the palace, she and Shan Liancheng seem to be very busy, not only the emperor and queen have passed away one after another, but there are also many abandoned court affairs that need to be dealt with, and overnight, the emperor has changed, and the courtiers and people need to be appeased, so they don't even have the opportunity to meet alone.
It was probably the power of longing that took her to the door of Chengqian Palace. Looking at the light coming out of the Chengqian Palace, her heart was warm. She knew, he was inside.
At this time, it was dinner time, and as soon as the person who delivered the meal walked to the door, he was stopped by the small road.
"The emperor finally slept for a while, don't disturb him."
"Yes." The palace maids who had passed the meal retreated.
"He slept?" Yun Qixi couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he was a little disappointed, and he felt distressed.
Xiao Luzi nodded, sighed, and explained, "The emperor has been tired and running all the way since he came back from the front line, and he was frozen at the gate of the city, and when he came back, a lot of affairs were waiting for the emperor to deal with, and the emperor had not slept well for several days and nights, and he was so tired. ”
Yun Qixi nodded, but still walked towards the Chengqian Palace.
Xiaoluzi didn't stop her, let her in.
The lights in the inner hall of Chengqian Palace were not too bright, and Yun Qixi still saw the person lying on the couch at a glance.
He slept on the couch with his clothes closed, and his tired face was so obvious.
Even if it's good to come in even if it's just to take a look, knowing he's asleep.
Yun Qixi walked over lightly, lifted the quilt up, looked at him for a while, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
So what's so good about being an emperor? How can you be a common person at ease? For such a tiring position, why do people always have to fight for it?
Thinking about the appointment with someone, she didn't stop any longer, and was about to turn away, but suddenly she was pulled into her arms by a pair of arms, and then forcefully took it, and the two fell on the couch together.
