Chapter Ninety-Four: Into the Ground for Peace
There was only one place in the dimly lit room, and the kneeling man had his back straight, unaware of the person standing behind him. The aunt in charge on the side raised the corners of her mouth and said softly: "Queen Mother, look who is coming!" ”
At this time, the Queen Mother bowed down reverently, and then slowly stood up. Because they had been kneeling for a long time, it was very difficult for the two maids to get up.
She turned around with her back and saw that the person in front of her was not her youngest son! The Queen Mother asked her aunt in disbelief: "Ruzhen, isn't it that the old eyes of the mourning family are dizzy, this person?" ”
"Queen Mother!" Wei Wenyan softly called the slightly old noble woman in front of him and knelt heavily at her feet. In just a few months, this graceful and beautiful woman has grown a full head of gorgeous hair, and her face is full of sickness.
The aunt in charge bowed down and smiled: "You read that right, it's the prince, he's back!" ”
The Queen Mother's body trembled slightly, her lips squirmed and closed a few times, and then she whispered: "Old Seven? You, are you okay? ”
Wei Wenyan looked up at the Queen Mother and said, "The sons are not filial, which makes the queen mother worried!" ”
God has finally opened his eyes! "Hahahaha! It's me, it's me! The Queen Mother said overjoyed, tears falling from her eyes.
The Queen Mother pulled out of the maid's hand, leaned over and helped the kneeling person: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”
The aunt in charge echoed: "Isn't it, the prince escaped death, and it can be regarded as a bittersweet come." ”
looked at his son, who was a head taller than himself, but at this time, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and his face was lifeless. The Queen Mother's hand stroked his shoulder and said distressedly: "How did you lose so much weight, it really hurts you!" ”
He still looked at himself without saying a word, and the Queen Mother wiped away the tears on her face and smiled: "Come, go and sit after helping your mother." He nodded and supported her body, and then he also realized that the Queen Mother was very thin and her body was light.
The Queen Mother leaned on the couch and wanted to say something, wanting to ask something, seeing that he looked so lonely, she couldn't bear to speak.
Wei Wenyan seemed to see through her thoughts, so he said: "Erchen was bound to die, but thanks to Mu Yu leaving a life-saving pill, Erchen picked up his life." ”
"That's what happened!" The Queen Mother snorted, carefully observed his expression and said: "She is a good child, the mourning family heard that you were trapped in Pingcheng that day, and she also led the troops to rescue, in the end, we owe her too much." ”
He nodded: "Yes!" ”
He owes her so much, and it's not just these two lives.
"Now that you're back, do you see Prince Mu's funeral?"
"Don't do it!" He replied firmly.
He hadn't taken her to see all the scenery in the north, and that day she still said that she wanted to go back to Jiangnan to listen to books and watch plays. She has never lived as she pleases in her life, and she will not be willing to just leave. In fact, he didn't want to admit that she was dead, and to this day, he doesn't want to believe it.
The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "Yan'er, people should be buried in the ground when they die." How can you bear to let her wander alone in the world, helpless! ”
"Now her body has not been found, how to mourn. Besides, she will be reincarnated as a human being when she enters the soil, and she is not sure which family she will marry when she grows up. She can only be a son of the minister, she cannot be born together, and she must be the same after death. ”
He poured out resolute words with an indifferent expression. This kind of Wei Wenyan is terrifying, he has always been silent, but he is not such an unreasonable person, the Queen Mother found that she never really knew him.
Knowing that dissuasion was useless, the Queen Mother said cautiously: "Yan'er, why are you so domineering and unreasonable. There was no grand ceremony when she married you, and now you don't let her mourn after she dies! ”
He pursed his lips and didn't speak, his deep eyes revealing a cold light. If she is entangled, she is afraid that it will hurt the relationship between mother and child, and the Queen Mother sighed.
"Yan'er, look at you, it's only twenty-one after this year. is in the prime of his youth, and gray hair has grown on his sideburns. ”
Wei Wenyan raised his hand to stroke his sideburns, and the aunt in charge brought a bronze mirror over. He looked at the man in the mirror, his face tired, his sideburns were full of hair, and he was ugly.
Dugu Muyu pays the most attention to skin appearance, and if she sees someone who is good-looking on weekdays, she always has to take a few looks. She wouldn't have liked him if she saw him like that, and he murmured, "She doesn't like it." ”
But the queen mother with sharp ears listened, and she said vigorously: "She definitely doesn't like it, now that you look like this, no one will like it when she sees it." ”
"Lord Wang, the slave maid summoned the Queen Mother to come over and take a look at you, just prescribe some nourishing decoction to nourish you."
Seeing that he had no objection, the Queen Mother also assumed that she agreed, so she ordered: "Ruzhen, go!" ”
Xu Zechang's old rotten wood he didn't like very much, and as soon as he got better, he was untenable, so he wandered around again.
"On the same day, the queen mother said to the emperor, resign from your position in the court, and it is good to be an idle prince, so that the queen mother does not have to be afraid every day."
After saying so much, Wei Wenyan only snorted, the Queen Mother knew that he had grown up in the army when he was a child, so he had cultivated such a temperament. But he is more and more wooden, but how is it good.
"Seventh, the emperor got a son, and he was crowned the crown prince early in the morning."
Wei Wenyan raised his eyes and looked at her and said, "I know!" ”
"The queen mother knows that this is not the time to make you sad by mentioning the matter of the heir. It's just that you also have to be relieved, after all, life still has to be passed. ”
What difference does it make to live without her, just because she told him to live before she died. "Heirs are dispensable to sons, but now, sons don't want them at all."
The Queen Mother couldn't help but whisper: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest." You foolishness! ”
Why is he so stubborn, he says that the royal family is amorous, how did she get such two idiots. A pet in the middle palace, with thin heirs; The other is good, and directly broke off the idea of extending the children and grandchildren.
After Xu Zechang entered the house, he saw the two people facing each other, especially when he saw that this person was Prince Mu who had come back from the dead, he was shocked. After being stunned for a moment, he knelt down and said, "Weichen see the Queen Mother, Prince Mu!" ”
This broke the stalemate between the two, and this was the result after a pulse diagnosis and prescription of medicine.
After sending the maid down to get the medicine, there were a few of them left in the house, and Aunt Ruzhen was the queen mother's confidant, so it was okay to think about it. Xu Zechang said: "The residual poison in Prince Mu's body has disappeared, and Weichen only feels that something is strange after listening to what the prince said about the various manifestations after being poisoned. ”
The Queen Mother asked nervously, "What's wrong?" ”
"Consistent with the behavior of the seventh princess and the eldest son of Lord Si after being poisoned, this poison is the most unusual, and only Princess Changning has it in this world. But the first emperor had ordered someone to search for all the venom, so the minister realized that the reason was strange. ”
Wei Wenyan was silent for a while and then said: "This poison was developed by Zilu, could it be that Zilu also gave this poison to the people next to him." ”
"This, this Weichen has no way of knowing."
Wei Wenyan lowered his eyes and waved his hand: "Don't talk about this matter with others, go down!" ”
"Yes!" Xu Zechang bowed and retreated.
Wei Wenyan also got up and said, "Erchen retires!" ”
After putting on the big coat, he stepped into the wind and snow, and he lowered his voice and said, "Go to check Si Yuzong, this king suspects that he has colluded with King Kang. ”
It would be expected that the two of them would collude, but since Wei Wenyan personally asked him to investigate, there must be a bigger conspiracy. Yunqi immediately agreed, and quickened his pace to keep up with Wei Wenyan.
Wei Wenyan was very tired today, but he still walked quickly to Wei Wenchu's palace. Today's business is done today, and besides, this is what he should have done in the morning.
The little eunuch hurriedly led him in after passing the news, and he came by chance, Wei Wenchu's family of three was sitting neatly, looking peaceful.
Wei Wenchu laughed loudly: "Give a seat!" ”
But Jiayang looked at him nervously, Prince Mu escaped death, what about her? Jiayang hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, where is Mu Yu?" ”
Wei Wenyan, who was already gloomy, looked a little ugly, and the hand in front of him turned white.
Jiayang knew that it was Bai Huanxi, so he had to say: "This palace is happy when he sees that the prince is good, so he thinks that Mu Yu will definitely be able to escape death." It was the palace that was abrupt, and it poked the sore spot of the prince. ”
His Adam's apple rolled a little, his expression was very bad, and Wei Wenchu said loudly: "The queen is also unintentional, don't be surprised!" ”
Wei Wenyan got up and said: "It's okay, the insiders have always been friendly with the queen's mother, what is the strange thing about this king, I have thanked the queen for her care on behalf of the insider." ”
Sticking to Dugu Muyu will only make the two of them unhappy, so Wei Wenchu handed the child into the hands of his grandmother and said, "Quickly take the prince to the prince and take a look." ”
In the swaddling clothes, a white and cute child, with a pair of clear and innocent eyes, turned around, looking at this novel Uncle Seven Wang.
If so, their children are still there, and now they should land, and I don't know what their children will look like. He was crazy, thinking about these fruitless things every day, Wei Wenyan looked away sadly.
Wei Wenchu really liked this kid very much, so he said to Wei Wenyan: "Old Seven, hug him!" also asked Qichen to recognize his uncle of the seven kings. ”
Wei Wenyan shook his head without thinking about it and said, "No, this king is clumsy, I'm afraid of hurting the prince." ”
Wei Wenchu didn't say anything more, and made a look in his eyes to make everyone retreat. Only then did he say: "Old Seven, thanks to you this time, Lone can get rid of the big trouble of King Kang!" ”
"King Kang has done a lot of evil, and he should have been dealt with early on, but he didn't have the handle to hit him with one blow. This time, with half a life, he can finally get rid of him! Wei Wenyan said flatly, feeling that he didn't care about his life.
"This matter is owed to your husband and wife, and Lone will definitely posthumously seal your princess and treat her nine relatives well!"
"There's no need to chase the seal, she doesn't like these flashy names!" Wei Wenyan paused for a moment and said, "However, the minister has something to ask for!" ”
Wei Wenchu asked with great interest, "What's the matter?" Just say it, I'm going to do my best to satisfy you. ”
"The insider has passed away, and the minister has no desire and no desire, so he voluntarily resigned from his official position."
Wei Wenchu knew early on that Wei Wenyan had the intention of resigning, but when he first ascended to the throne, he had internal and external troubles, so Wei Wenyan never talked about it. Now, he couldn't keep Wei Wenyan anymore, so he admitted: "Okay! Lonely has fulfilled your wish and made you a leisurely idle prince! ”
Wei Wenyan knelt on the ground and bowed: "Minister, thank Your Majesty Longen!" ”
