The "mother and son" in the inner room were sleeping soundly, and Han Yanzheng in the outer room had a preliminary grasp of Xiao Wangzhi's situation in the palace through Wang Ping.

Before he could say anything for a while, an inner servant was ordered to come, saying that Emperor Yuanjia had invited Han Yan and Shu Yu.

Han Yan was afraid of waking up Xiao Wangzhi, who was sleeping soundly, so he entered the inner room lightly, woke up Shu Yu, who was protecting Xiao Wangzhi's sleep, and whispered: "There is a calling on the saint." ”

Shu Yu, who was originally drowsy, woke up when he heard the words, quickly withdrew his arm carefully, got up quietly, put down the tent, and then tiptoed to the outside with Han Yan.

instructed an elderly palace maid to guard Xiao Wangzhi well, and Han Yan and Shu Yu should leave with the inner servants.

After Emperor Yuan Jia returned to the palace, he stayed in Hehuan Palace, and never left half a step unless necessary.

He knew that his time was short, so he naturally cherished the remaining time with Zhao Guifei more and more.

For this reason, Empress Dowager Zhao and Queen Wang were angry enough, and they persuaded and persuaded and scolded - of course, they scolded Zhao Guifei, but it was useless.

Again and again, Empress Dowager Zhao and Empress Wang gradually became discouraged and numb, and simply tossed with Emperor Yuanjia.

It's only about half a year, and after Emperor Yuan Jia dies, they want to see who still bothers to protect Zhao Guifei, the scourge spirit!

Han Yan and Shu Yu went to the Dehehuan Hall and saluted to see Emperor Yuan Jia and Zhao Guifei.

"Hurry up, two of you." Emperor Yuan Jia said with a smile.

"Thank you." Han Yan and Shu Yu thanked each other and got up.

"You may be seated." Emperor Yuan Jia ordered to give a seat, and after the two of them sat down, they exchanged a few words of New Year's daily life, and then began to go straight to the topic, "The two of you are summoned today for the prince's business."

"You have also been to the East Palace just now, you all understand the specific situation and reason for the prince's illness this time, right?"

Han Yan and Shu Yu respectfully agreed.

"That being the case, I have something to discuss with you right now." Emperor Yuan Jia's tone was sincere, and his figure was extremely low.

Han Yan and Shu Yu glanced at each other, got up, and saluted, "I really don't dare to be." I don't know what the Holy One commands? ”

"You two, please take a seat." Emperor Yuan Jia hurriedly stretched out his hand and smiled and asked, "Let's listen to me slowly." ”

Han Yan and Shu Yu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Emperor Yuanjia's gourd, and with a worried heart, they sat down again.

"The two of you have also seen the situation of the prince - when you first moved into the palace, there was a lot of discomfort, and I really didn't feel at ease to leave him in the care of others." Emperor Yuan Jia's tone was sincere, "So, I have a proposal, and I ask you to consider it." ”

Han Yan and Shu Yu were stunned when they heard Emperor Yuan Jia say this, came back to their senses, looked at Emperor Yuan Jia's eager gaze, and hurriedly responded: "But according to the orders of the Holy Lord." ”

As long as it is for the sake of Xiao Wang, they will naturally cooperate fully.

Emperor Yuan Jia didn't go around in circles with them, and said directly: "For the sake of the prince's physical and mental health, I am ready to summon Mrs. Han to the East Palace to take care of the prince until the prince can independently adapt to life in the palace."

"What do you two think?"

Han Yan and Shu Yu were stunned when they heard this.

Of course, they want to stay in the palace to accompany Xiao Wangzhi through the initial difficult time, but Shu Yu, as a courtier's wife, is not in accordance with the rules to stay in the palace, and when the time comes, they will not be allowed to cause gossip.

Shu Yu herself didn't care about those gossips, but she was afraid that because of this, Xiao Wangzhi's "reputation would be lost" and that those who were secretly waiting for the opportunity to make trouble would be messed up.

Han Yan was also worried, and when he heard this, he got up and arched his hand: "Thank you for your trust and love, but this move is not in line with etiquette. Wei Chen dared to ask how the Holy Lord planned to declare this matter to the outside world? ”

When Emperor Yuanjia heard that Han Yan did not intend to refuse, he was just worried that Shu Yu's stay in the East Palace would cause gossip, so he immediately relieved himself and said with a smile: "Although this Han Qing can rest assured, I have my own arrangements."

"Mrs. Qinghe County is the mother of the prince when he was in exile, and she can also be regarded as a 'nurse', and it is normal for the nurse to enter the palace to take care of the prince.

"Don't worry, I have already arranged everything, and I will not let Mrs. Han cause gossip for no reason.

"The crown prince is the future emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his reputation is particularly important, and I will never allow those with ill intentions to fan the flames behind his back, intending to fish in troubled waters!"

Now that Emperor Yuanjia has already spoken and made a guarantee, how could Han Yan and Shu Yu, who were worried about Xiao Wangzhi's life in the palace, refuse this opportunity to enter the palace to personally take care of and protect Xiao Wangzhi?

"Wechen (courtiers) obey orders!" The husband and wife stood up and answered in unison.

"Hurry up, two of you!" A matter of heart has been settled, Emperor Yuan Jia's expression is extremely relaxed and happy, and he raised his hand and smiled.

Next, Han Yan and Shu Yu were left to say a few words of gossip about Xiao Wangzhi, and Emperor Yuan Jia, who was tired of his heart, waved his hand to let Han Yan and Shu Yu retreat for the time being.

The news in the palace has always spread very quickly, not to mention that Emperor Yuanjia had no intention of concealing this matter, so not long after Han Yan and Shu Yu returned to the East Palace, the people in each palace got the news.

"Queen Mother, what do you think of this matter?" Just as Emperor Yuan Jia has been soaking in Hehuan Palace recently, Queen Wang has also been soaking in Ci'an Palace recently, and after getting the news, she immediately speculated with Empress Dowager Zhao about Emperor Yuan Jia's intentions in doing this.

Without waiting for Empress Dowager Zhao to answer, Empress Wang hurriedly said her guess: "Empress Dowager Niangniang, you said that the reason why the Holy Lord arranged it this way is that he wants to promote Han Yan and his wife to compete with you and me, right?" ”

After all, according to the imperial doctor, it is already a miracle that Emperor Yuan Jia can survive for half a year, and Emperor Yuan Jia must be afraid that after his death, she and Empress Dowager Zhao will take the opportunity to control the East Palace, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and it will be unfavorable to the surviving Zhao Guifei, so this one deliberately wanted to make a move to guard against them.

Empress Dowager Zhao thought seriously for a while, and sighed abruptly: "Maybe......"

Mother and son have come to this point, and she is also very reluctant, but people always have to look forward.

"However, Han Yan and his wife can't fake their concern for the prince at all, even if it is to balance you and me, they also have a heart of love for the prince." After thinking about it, Empress Dowager Zhao said pertinently.

Queen Wang was so angry that she complained in a low voice: "If it weren't for the Queen Mother's command, we might not be able to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince under the nose of Concubine Zhao." It's good now, I finally got through it, but I have to be picked by others halfway......"

Empress Dowager Zhao glared at Queen Wang, and directly glared at her next words back to her heart, and then slowly spoke: "The mourning family has told you many times, calm down, calm down!" Look at your angry and corrupt appearance, do you still have a little bit of the demeanor of the mother of a country? ”

Empress Wang relied on the Empress Dowager Zhao the most, and she was also the most afraid of the Empress Dowager Zhao, so she hurriedly pursed her lips when she heard the words, and did not say anything more, but the disgust and grief in her eyes did not diminish a little because of this.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Zhao sighed secretly.

As a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who have been with her for many years, she is confident that she still understands Queen Wang, this child married Emperor Yuan Jia, and she was dedicated to being a virtuous queen and assisting Emperor Yuan Jia, but unfortunately Emperor Yuan Jia did not give her this opportunity.

With love like this, people are ignored and trampled on, who is not angry and angry?

Love is deep, hate is deep......
