Chapter 146: After the Storm
Jiang Qingyue turned his head coldly.
Zhou Ruian had a very sense of crisis, and felt that it was better to deal with the farce in front of him as soon as possible, so that he could go back to coax his daughter-in-law, otherwise if it went on like this, he was afraid that he would have to sleep in the study.
Before formulating this plan, Luo Bei actually reminded him that Jiang Qingyue was afraid that he would have to settle accounts with him afterwards.
At that time, His Majesty the Emperor tirelessly asked for advice, how do ordinary husbands and wives deal with angry quarrels? Luo Bei told him that civil couples and men who are afraid of their wives will be punished by their mothers to sleep in the study.
His Majesty the Emperor looked horrified, this, this is too miserable, right? It's even worse than Jinyiwei's torture.
But in an instant, Zhou Rui'an wanted to open it, because he was no different from sleeping in the study now.
But His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to sleep in the study all the time in the future, so he must save himself as soon as possible now, so the second prince and the others in front of him are a bit of an eyesore.
Zhou Ruian glanced at the second prince and said lightly: "I have long said that the biggest problem with you is that you don't know enough about your own positioning, you always think that you are the smartest, but have you ever thought about it?" Why am I so relieved not to kill you, and still keep you in the Second Prince's Mansion? ”
That's because he already knew everything about the Second Prince's Mansion, knew the authenticity of the Second Prince's Mansion, and also knew the back hand left to him by the Queen Mother.
The second prince seemed to have lost all his strength at this time, and suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Ruian unwillingly: "You think I lost?" I've caught you now, and I'm still the winner! ”
As he spoke, the second prince wanted to take a step forward, but suddenly a long arrow pierced the sky and landed in front of the toes of the second prince, only one step away, if he took one more step, this arrow would hit his feet!
The second prince raised his head in astonishment.
Zhou Ruian sneered and said, "You can't lie to you?" ”
In just a moment, a large number of brocade guards swarmed into the dormitory, surrounding the huge courtyard.
The second prince's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Zhou Rui'an raised his eyebrows: "If you are considering the three thousand troops that Tuoba just gave you outside the city, I advise you not to think about it again," after a pause, he continued: "You still underestimate Su Liangyi's ability, Su Liangyi will not let any Tatar cross Liuzhou one step!" ”
Zhou Rui'an said loudly, and it was obvious that this was also expected by him.
The second prince couldn't help but look shocked, but Zhou Ruian said lightly: "Your biggest failure is not that you are not smart enough, but that you believe in Fang Mingkun wrong," as he said, he sneered mockingly and said: "Fang Mingkun is such a thing that is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, how dare you hand over such an important matter as contacting the Tatar army to him?!" ”
Fang Mingkun is really a typical pig teammate, his biggest mistake was to lose Dong Cheng, which directly led to the abolition of the queen and Emperor Xuande's tearing of faces, and also led to their failure later.
But Fang Mingkun is the cousin of the second prince, and he lives and dies together, they are grasshoppers in the same boat, and they are both prosperous, and he knows that he will not betray him, so this time the matter of contacting the Tatar army, the second prince also handed it over to Fang Mingkun.
The second prince only showed a look of shock at this time, and he smiled bitterly: "I, in the end, is not as good as you." ”
His desperate gamble was so vulnerable in front of him, everything he did was expected by Zhou Rui'an, just like Zhou Rui'an said, he was a real clown.
"You're not inferior to me," Zhou Ruian said lightly: "This is all ordered by Qingyue." ”
At this time, Jiang Qingyue lowered her gaze, and when Xiao Fuzi told her that Zhang Qi did not come back, she had a bad premonition in her heart, and she asked Xiao Fuzi to tell Liu Min to withdraw all the brocade guards.
The second prince wouldn't have thought that he just found out that Zhang Qi had gone to Chen's house, and he was worried that Zhang Qi would find clues, so he killed Zhang Qi.
And Jiang Qingyue knew that Zhang Qi did not come back, so just in case, he asked Liu Min to withdraw the people back, Jiang Qingyue didn't know that Zhou Rui'an was fine, she was just for the sake of prudence.
When the second prince heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly smiled with relief: "I see, I see." ”
I don't know why, Zhou Ruian felt that he was obviously the final winner, and he successfully had the last laugh and thwarted the second prince's plan, but at this time, the second prince's smile made him feel like he had become a loser.
"Then I won't lose." The second prince seemed to be relieved, sighed and said, "No loss!" ”
Zhou Rui'an: "!! ”
Zhou Rui'an's face was ugly, and he said coldly: "Take people down to me!" ”
Soon Jinyiwei came up to restrain the second prince, and the second prince did not resist, he seemed to accept his fate, and let the guards take him down, but his eyes kept falling on Jiang Qingyue's body, with an indescribable attachment.
This should have been an earth-shattering turmoil, but it ended quietly, until everything was settled, and many people did not come back to their senses.
Zhou Ruian looked at the expression of the second prince, but frowned faintly, worried that Jiang Qingyue would be soft-hearted, and the two of them quarreled for the second prince again.
Zhou Ruian was muttering in his heart, but Jiang Qingyue turned his head, and his eyes fell on him, his eyes were as clear as moonlight, and as cold as moonlight.
At this time, Zhou Ruian remembered in hindsight, what good thing did he do, uh, it seems that he has always been hiding from Jiang Qingyue? So what's the situation now?
Zhou Rui'an knows very well that the autumn will settle accounts.
"It can't be, it's impossible, it's impossible!" Suddenly, Chen Baobao's muttering voice came.
Zhou Ruian then remembered that there was still Chen Baobao.
Jiang Qingyue glanced at Zhou Rui'an: "It seems that this Chongxi is very useful, won't the emperor recover here?" Now that the emperor has recovered, he can visit the church in person, which is really a double happiness! ”
As soon as Zhou Ruian heard this, the hairs on his body stood up, and he hurriedly said, "Qingyue, you listen to my explanation." ”
Chen Baobao raised his head in surprise and said with a blank look: "Yes, yes, it's all because of my joy that the emperor recovered!" It must be like this! Saying that, she crawled in the direction of Zhou Rui'an: "I have an antidote, I can save you, I am the most suitable person for you......"
In fact, it turns out that as long as it is related to Zhou Rui'an, Chen Baobao's brain is extremely bright, and she hurriedly said: "Only I know the solution of 'Jun Mochou', only I can save you, and the most suitable person for you is only me!" Even if you don't need it now, you will definitely need it in the future, and I'm still useful! ”
Jiang Qingyue glanced at Zhou Rui'an with a smile: "What Miss Chen said is even, since the wedding is ready and the guests are still here, it is rare to see such a lively wedding!" What's more, Miss Chen has a deep love for the emperor, why didn't the emperor fulfill her infatuation? ”
"I'm sincere to you!" Zhou Rui'an immediately said: "Why don't you fulfill me first?" ”
Jiang Qingyue glanced at him with a sneer, and his tone was cold: "The emperor is serious, I don't dare to admit this!" Lest I mistake the emperor's big things! With that, she turned and walked out.
Luo Bei's eyes quickly blocked in front of Jiang Qingyue, and said with a smile: "Childe, Childe, you have always been broad-minded, this time the emperor did not mean to hide it from you, you know his sincerity to you." ”
Jiang Qingyue glanced at Luo Bei coldly, and said with his hands on his chest: "Don't you say that I almost forgot, there is still something about you here, right?" After a pause, she said indignantly: "I thought our relationship was good, I didn't help you before, but it turned out!" You actually cheated on me with him! ”
"This, how can this be called deception? Childe, you are serious, this is at most purposeful...... Oh no, no, it's a well-intentioned concealment! Luo Bei hurriedly said, and then said: "Our relationship is really good, I have always supported you, really!" It's just that you know, Childe, I'm soft-spoken, I'm just a subordinate, and what I said doesn't count! Can you embarrass me, how much does this affect our relationship? ”
Jiang Qingyue snorted lightly, but his expression did soften a lot, "That can't hide the fact that you and he joined forces to deceive me!" Our relationship is broken! ”
"Ouch, don't break it, Childe, look, what kind of friendship we have, right?" Luo Bei said with a bitter face: "Otherwise, I would have cried." ”
Zhou Ruian watched coldly at Luo Bei's shameless approach to Jiang Qingyue, and he felt that he seemed to understand something.
Zhou Ruian thought about it, he also came to Jiang Qingyue's side, and said with a shy face: "I, I mean really, if you ignore me, I will cry too." ”
Jiang Qingyue looked at the shameless master and servant, smiled coldly, and then brushed his sleeves away.
Zhou Ruian looked at Luo Bei with an innocent face: "Isn't what I did wrong?" ”
How could he not have done it right! He is so smart and has always drawn inferences, so it must be Luobei's problem!
His Majesty the Emperor was indignant: "Does she treat you differently from me?!" Why did she react differently? ”
Luo Bei: "??? "Why does he want to be someone's subordinate? What does this have to do with him?
Chen Baobao silently shed tears, watching Zhou Rui'an bow down in front of Jiang Qingyue, and his heart was dripping blood.
"Why? What's so good about her? Why can't you see me? Chen Baobao said with tears in his eyes: "I love you so much, Brother Rui'an!" I'm willing to lose everything for you, why don't you look back at me?! She is still the daughter of the former emperor! You said you wouldn't marry your cousin! ”
At the beginning, Chen Baobao jumped up and down in order to marry Zhou Rui'an, and Emperor Xuande still regarded her as his favorite daughter, and the reason why Zhou Rui'an rejected Chen Baobao at that time was that the two were of the same clan and should not intermarry.
This reason seems far-fetched, but it also makes people unreasonable, Chen Baobao doesn't understand, she is not his cousin now, Jiang Qingyue is, why is he still willing to marry her?
Zhou Ruian said lightly: "You don't understand, I don't want to marry with the same clan, that's just a reason to reject you, even if I don't have this reason, I can find something else, but she is the reason why I want to get married!" ”
Chen Baobao was shocked and burst into tears, she shook her head desperately: "How can you be so cruel to me!" Can't you see my sincerity for you? The love we grew up together is nothing, isn't it? After a pause, she said anxiously: "Do you remember, when you were a child, you were punished by your father, and I went to accompany you!" Don't you remember all the time you spent together? ”
Chen Baobao and Zhou Rui'an really grew up together, but at that time, Chen Baobao was Emperor Xuande's favorite princess, and she was naturally a thousand pets in the palace, but Zhou Rui'an was walking on thin ice.
At that time, Chen Baobao was willing to stick to Zhou Rui'an, but Emperor Xuande was unwilling to let his favorite daughter play with Zhou Rui'an, but he would not tell Chen Baobao, and would only find various reasons to embarrass Zhou Rui'an afterwards.
Zhou Rui'an has been smart since he was a child, and he naturally knows Emperor Xuande's attitude towards him, so he has avoided Chen Baobao since he was a child, but Chen Baobao is a persistent person, he can always find him, and finally lead to him being punished.
Every time he was punished, Chen Baobao would come to him, bring him food and water, or talk to him, and at this time, the palace maids couldn't find Her Royal Highness the princess and made a mess, and finally found her, and Emperor Xuande would be angry with Zhou Rui'an.
So since then, Zhou Ruian has avoided Chen Baobao, but she doesn't know it herself, and she always thinks that she is a childhood sweetheart with him.
And now, Chen Baobao has brought up these past events that he hated, hoping to bring back his good memories of her?
Zhou Ruian only thought it was ridiculous, but he didn't plan to say this to Chen Baobao, it was just an old thing, and there was no need to entangle it more.
"Come on, send Miss Chen back." Zhou Rui'an commanded lightly.
Xiao Fuzi took a step forward, he was a eunuch, he didn't have to worry too much, he wanted to help Chen Baobao up, but Chen Baobao didn't know where to get the strength, directly pushed him away, and rushed to Zhou Rui'an.
"Tell me, why don't you like me? What's wrong with me? Where am I inferior to Jiang Qingyue? Chen Baobao said with tears in his eyes.
Zhou Rui sighed helplessly, he was disgusted and helpless for this girl who had always been in love with him, although he couldn't respond to her feelings, and he couldn't even be moved, but he seemed to really should give her an answer.
Zhou Ruian thought for a while, and then said: "I never seriously thought about what is wrong with you, and I have never counted her good, but even when she was a man, I couldn't help but be moved by her, if there is a reason for the relationship, I also want to know the answer." After a pause, he suddenly smiled lightly, revealing the pear vortex at the corner of his lips: "But for me, it doesn't matter what the answer is, what I want to know more is how to give her happiness and grow old with her son." ”
Chen Baobao looked at the pear vortex at the corner of his mouth in a daze, she always knew that he would reveal the pear vortex when he laughed, but she rarely saw it, because he rarely smiled, and even less smiled at her, only a few times, she saw his smile, but as soon as he saw her coming, he stingily put away his smile.
It was the first time she had seen his smile so close, but it was when he mentioned another woman.
When Jiang Qingyue was still a man, from that time on, he was already moved.
No wonder she felt unpleasant to look at Jiang Qingyue from the beginning, it turned out that women had a natural perception of their rivals.
What could she do? Chen Baobao suddenly felt desperate, when he refused to marry, she did not despair, because she did not give up, even when she lost the honor of the princess later, she was not so desperate, because she still insisted on her love for him, she always felt that she still had a chance to marry him.
But now, listening to his affection for another woman, she was really desperate.
"What if she doesn't like you?" Chen Baobao asked in a low voice.
It's like a drowning person who grabs a straw, knowing that this straw can't save her, but she still stubbornly refuses to let go.
"Then, I'm afraid I'm going to become a faint king." Zhou Ruian thought about it and said in a low voice.
After getting the answer, Chen Baobao smiled astringently, and immediately, as soon as his body became weak, he collapsed to the ground.
Zhou Rui'an glanced at her with a complicated expression, and then instructed Xiao Fuzi on the side: "Send her back and take good care of her." ”
Luo Bei thought about it, and couldn't help but remind: "Your Majesty, this Chen Baobao's deep affection for you is really moving, but you can think about it, if the prince knows about it in the future, ...... paused, he continued: "Those words of spring flowers and autumn moons can be written in the book, often the hero is soft-hearted for a while, and takes care of the childhood sweetheart who has always been in love with him, which caused the heroine's misunderstanding, which directly led to the breakdown of the relationship between the two." ”
Zhou Rui'an's expression suddenly froze, and he hurriedly ordered: "Send her out of the city, don't let me see it," paused, and continued: "Don't let Qingyue know!" ”
Xiaofuzi couldn't help but pout: "Rake your ears." ”
Zhou Ruian glanced at him, and then said: "What you said is that you have become a relative, I haven't gotten married yet, so it's not a rake ear!" ”
Xiaofuzi: Isn't "......" worse than raking ears? So what is the emperor proud of?
Luo Bei also sighed, it is really not easy for them to be the emperor, as the emperor, he met the rebellion of the rebellious ministers and thieves, he finally put down the rebellion, and it was too late to deal with the thieves, but he had to solve the emotional problem first? What's even more strange is that Zhou Ruian didn't confess to Jiang Qingyue to explain, but told Chen Baobao about his deep love for Jiang Qingyue?
What's going on!
Zhou Ruian then remembered that there were still a number of ministers waiting for him to deal with.
Zhou Ruian turned his head and glanced at the ministers who came to watch the ceremony, these ministers had all been poisoned by the second prince before, and the second prince had bought off the people in the imperial dining room, and this medicine was in the meal, which is why the Ouchi guards were defeated so quickly, and they were all drugged.
At that time, the second prince asked them to choose between loyalty and life, and some ministers did not give in, but there were also many people who compromised with the second prince at the cost of their lives.
The compromised group of people trembled, and couldn't help but kneel on the ground and kowtow and beg for mercy: "The emperor spares his life!" The emperor spares his life! ”
For these ministers, today is really a thrilling day, first to see the excitement of the emperor's wedding, but in the palace can still be poisoned, poisoned and finally made up their minds to make a choice, right? As a result, the emperor turned the tables in a blink of an eye, and things were reversed, and at this time, for the ministers who had just received the antidote, the antidote was equivalent to their amulet.
Now these ministers want to take advantage of the chaos and pretend that they didn't give in, they took the antidote, and if they were not poisoned, they were naturally the ones who betrayed Zhou Rui'an.
Speaking of which, Zhou Rui'an is actually good to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, compared to Emperor Xuande, who is suspicious and desperate to save face, Zhou Rui'an is pragmatic enough to move the ministers to tears.
At least Zhou Ruian will not toss the ministers for the sake of face, in the past, Emperor Xuande tossed people a lot in order to save face, and after Zhou Ruian ascended the throne, he was not guilty of the ministers who had targeted him before, which was really not easy.
But this time, everyone knew that it was impossible for Zhou Ruian to let go of these ministers who betrayed him.
Because of this, these people are extremely serious and hard.
Luo Bei and Xiao Fuzi didn't speak, and the person who could intercede was not there, and they had no choice.
"As for you," a cold light flashed in Zhou Rui'an's eyes: "Catch them all!" Press into the prison and wait to be disposed of! ”
The ministers wept bitterly and begged for mercy, Zhou Ruian was unmoved, and the ministers were soon taken away by Jinyiwei!
After dealing with all this, Zhou Ruian did not go to rest, but walked to the study in the dormitory, he just turned around, and said goodbye as if he had long eyes: "Xiaofuzi, Luobei, you two let me in!" ”
Luo Bei and Xiao Fuzi wanted to sneak away, but when they heard his voice, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and sighed in unison, yes, they couldn't go.
The two followed Zhou Rui'an into the study, and as soon as he closed the door, Zhou Rui'an said impatiently: "Haven't you two always been very methodical?" You guys gave me an idea for today's matter! After a pause, he continued: "According to me, Qing Yue is very angry this time! ”
Xiao Fuzi said innocently: "Your Majesty, a slave is a rootless person, this, this emotional matter, the slave doesn't understand!" ”
When Luo Bei heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him with envy, ah, I usually can't see it, I thought it was a good brother, but I didn't expect to show the fox's tail at the critical moment, so I actually cleared myself and let him carry the black pot alone!
Zhou Rui'an's eyes really fell on Luo Bei's body: "Yes, Luo Bei, don't you have a lot of ideas and read a lot of scripts?" Tell me what to do in this situation? ”
Under Zhou Rui'an's hot gaze, Luo Bei slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run." ”
Zhou Rui'an's face changed suddenly, and Luo Bei understood that if he didn't give him an idea this time, Zhou Rui'an would not be able to let him go.
Luo Bei's mind was running rapidly, probably in a hurry, and he really came up with an idea.
"Why don't you get married? After doing the family affairs, the raw rice is cooked and the rice is ripe, won't it be done when the time comes? ”
Zhou Rui'an's eyes suddenly lit up.
