Chapter 172: Confirmed
Zhou Shuxuan entered the Longde Hall and knelt down to salute in a regular manner.
"Erchen to the emperor to say goodbye, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
The emperor looked at the people on the ground, did not speak for a long time, and did not let people get up.
Zhou Shuxuan knelt on the ground and felt complicated, the emperor's attitude today was very abnormal. In this way, when kneeling on a pillar of incense, Zhou Shuxuan quietly raised his head and glanced up, the emperor leaned on the back of the chair as if he was pretending to sleep, and the moment he raised his head, he was facing the emperor's eyes.
The four eyes are facing each other, and the waves are thousands.
Only then did the emperor say: "Let's be flat." ”
Zhou Shuxuan stood up from the ground, and the emperor squinted at him slightly. I haven't seen him standing for a long time, and I have forgotten that he is also a seven-foot man, and he can stir up the wind and clouds between heaven and earth.
The emperor asked without any emotion: "What are you doing when you enter the palace without an edict?" ”
"Erchen heard that the imperial doctor said that his father's health was not good, and he was worried, so he came in to have a look."
The emperor asked sarcastically: "Come in and see if I'm dead or not, right?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan was neither humble nor arrogant and said: "Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen hopes that his father can get better as soon as possible." ”
The emperor waved his hand and obviously didn't believe his words, poked open the window paper and said, "You don't say these words." Third child, you are Sima Zhao's heart at this time, and I wish I could enter the soil as soon as possible and make room for you. ”
No one is blind or stupid, and he can't see things clearly.
What you think in your heart and what you show are the same thing, but what you say in front of the emperor is the same thing.
Zhou Shuxuan knelt on the ground in his robe, "Erchen is loyal to the emperor and has no arrogance." ”
"Whether you have the heart of transgression or not, my father and son know it in their hearts, needless to say." The emperor had a sarcastic smile on his face, stood up with the handrail, stepped down the jade steps, and stretched out his hand to pull him up. "Today we will say something heart-wrenching. Actually, I would like to thank you very much. My body is getting worse day by day, and if it weren't for you during this time, the country might not be so stable. ”
Hearing what the emperor said, Zhou Shuxuan was not very happy, so stupid that he thought that the emperor was just to thank him. The last time the emperor talked to him like this was for the former prince, let him let the former prince go and even wanted him to assist the former prince, and now I'm afraid it's the same.
I heard the emperor's voice slowly ringing in my ears, "You can do the best of your ministers, not only now, but I believe you can do it in the future."
And so it was.
The emperor hasn't figured out how he is willing to be a minister now. If he just wants to be a minister, he might as well be a prince who doesn't worry about anything.
It is no longer strange for the emperor to say these words, and he can accept them calmly.
Zhou Shuxuan asked calmly: "Is my father's decision all because of the queen and his son's mother?" ”
He still can't let go of it, he always wants to get a definite answer from the emperor's mouth, and wants to know if he is losing here.
The emperor held his hand and looked at him for a moment, then nodded slightly, and continued: "This is the cause, and there are many later, about the second child, and your aunt's reasons." ”
The eldest princess's support for Zhou Shuxuan is, in a sense, a rebellious heart.
"But...... I am your son too. "If the emperor is unwilling, it is absolutely impossible for Concubine Liang to give birth to him alone.
The emperor sighed and said: "I didn't say that you are not my son, but that's all, I still have many sons." ”
Zhou Shuxuan already knew in his heart that the emperor's meaning was already very clear, and the throne had nothing to do with him, which was something he had thought of a long time ago.
"The son still has some things, so he will retire first, and my father will recuperate."
Zhou Shuxuan came to the palace to find out, and knowing the emperor's attitude, the goal was achieved. I don't want to listen to the emperor's next words, Zuo is just some words to persuade him to assist the new monarch, it is absolutely impossible.
The emperor said to keep him, "Don't leave yet, I don't know when I'll see you again in the future, accompany me for a meal." ”
This sentence seemed to have an unusual meaning, and Zhou Shuxuan was full of emotion when he listened to it.
After eating with the emperor, when he left the palace, a cold wind blew outside, and Zhou Shuxuan couldn't help but tighten his clothes.
Winter is really coming, and it's a last resort.
After returning to the palace, Wei Hai and they should have returned today, and he has some things to explain.
I went to see Miaoli first, and when I saw that she was sleeping again, I came out without disturbing her. It's time to sleep more, don't worry about anything, and recover faster.
Wei Hai has already returned, and he has already asked people to pack up the things they brought back. went to see Zhou Shuxuan cleanly, "Lord Wang, do you have any orders?" ”
"Pack up some softness, and prepare some more silver."
Wei Hai looked at him with a puzzled expression, he had just put those things back in place. Wei Hai asked cautiously: "This is for ......"
Zhou Shuxuan didn't want to hide it from him, and replied: "It is estimated that it will not be very peaceful in the near future, if there is any trouble, you will take her away immediately." ”
"What do you mean?" Wei Hai was surprised. After following Zhou Shuxuan for so long, he naturally knew Zhou Shuxuan's thoughts.
"That's what it means, I'll let He Guang and He Yuan follow you. She's not in good shape right now, and you're taking care of her along the way. ”
Zhou Shuxuan explained these things as usual, not at all like he was explaining the aftermath.
"But He Guang and He Yuan are following us, what should you do, Lord Wang?"
"I have my own arrangements, you don't have to worry about this."
Wei Hai thought about him everywhere, "Lord Wang, let them follow you, nothing matters to Lord Wang." ”
Zhou Shuxuan glared at him, "Don't talk about this nonsense, is my words not good?" ”
Wei Hai didn't say anything more, knowing that he couldn't pull back ten cows. After thinking for a while, Wei Hai said again: "But...... When that happens, it may not be easy for the girl's side. ”
Miaoli is such a smart person, she will definitely be able to detect any disturbances, and she will never leave him alone and run away.
"Then I don't care, it's your business, no matter what method you use." Zhou Shuxuan got up very ruthlessly and said, "I still have to go to the eldest princess's mansion, and don't tell her that I have come back when she wakes up." ”
Otherwise, Miao Li will either not be clear when she asks, or she will be exposed.
Zhou Shuxuan took a step forward and turned back and said, "You pay attention to the movements of the Ning Xiang Courtyard, no matter how big or small, you have to report to me." “
He still felt that something was wrong, but he didn't suspect Miaoli, but focused on Xu Meitang.
It seems to be a habit, and I always feel that Miaoli is good at everything, and she won't do anything that disagrees with him.
"The slave knows."
Seeing Zhou Shuxuan go out, the prince of his family has really changed a lot, he didn't have to scruple about anything before, but now he actually has to arrange the rest of the matter.
Wei Hai came back and heard about what happened in the house, no wonder Zhou Shuxuan desperately wanted to come back first, no matter how much he persuaded him. But I still forgot a step, if the child is saved, it is fine, but the child is gone, and it is not interesting to keep Miaoli, and after a long time, I may do something sorry for the prince.
That's it, the prince thinks differently from him.
When he arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, Zhou Shuxuan went in directly. It is the same as the eldest princess Dao Qin Wangfu, coming and going freely.
"Come over the next day, and you don't have to be like this to show filial piety." The eldest princess teased him with a smile.
"I ......" Zhou Shuxuan couldn't refute her, saying, "I'll come to see you and tell you something by the way." ”
I'm afraid it's just by looking at her.
"Say."
"The emperor's movements that you brought me to attention to, I see that it has now reached the point of last resort."
The eldest princess asked with a straight face, "Are you sure?" ”
"Pretty sure. The emperor left me in the palace for dinner today, saying that he didn't know when we would be able to meet. ”
The eldest princess pondered for a moment, the emperor estimated that he really had an idea, and he would soon take action.
"If that's the case, then it's time for us to plan as soon as possible."
"That's why I'm looking for you. Auntie, what can you do? ”
I didn't ask before because I didn't think I was in a hurry, but now I'm in a hurry.
"That's it......" the eldest princess stopped talking, "You'll know then, and you'll be sad if you know now." ”
It seems that this matter is still related to him, and Zhou Shuxuan is even more curious. But he wasn't out of breath, so he didn't ask if he didn't say it.
The eldest princess calmly arranged, "You go back now to arrange the affairs of your house, and let your eldest brother come over by the way." After the affairs of the house are dealt with, we will come back to the palace, and we will enter the palace tonight, so as not to have too many dreams at night. ”
Who knows the emperor's temperament, maybe tomorrow will announce the holy decree to the world.
Zhou Shuxuan just wanted to say that he had already arranged it, but he didn't say a word to Miaoli. If something really happened, there would definitely be regrets, so I obediently went back.
Not long after he and Miaoli get together, they will be ready to separate again, when will they be able to be together for a long time.
Zhou Shuxuan asked people to inform King Qi and returned to the palace by himself.
Miaoli has woken up, the weather is getting colder and colder, there is a charcoal fire in the house to keep warm, Miaoli is dry, and she is persuading Xiaohong to get the charcoal pot out.
Xiaohong resolutely didn't listen to her, "No, it's so cold now, what should I do if the girl is caught with a cold?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan happened to come in from outside, and when he heard the words inside, he answered: "What girl is so disobedient." ”
Xiaohong was shocked and thought that she was going to be reprimanded, and immediately heard Zhou Shuxuan continue: "Go to Wei Hai and receive two taels of silver, which will be rewarded by this king." ”
Xiaohong went out happily, and glanced at Miao Li quite proudly, as if to say that the prince was also on her side.
Miao Li was about to laugh angrily at her, and said to the person who supported Xiaohong: "You won't help me when you come back, it's better not to come back." ”
Zhou Shuxuan said casually: "I'll come back to see you, and I'll go out in a while, and it's not wrong to say what people said." How's it going, are you getting better? ”
Miaoli said lazily: "It's not that you have taken any panacea, you have to take your time." I see it's getting dark, why do I have to go out? ”
"I persuaded me by day, and now I think it's strange for me to go out." Zhou Shuxuan smiled and pinched her nose and said, "I don't know what you think." ”
Everything was as normal, it happened as a matter of course, and Miao Li didn't feel anything abnormal.
