Chapter 97: Blocking People's Hearts

The expression of his own prince at this moment is really terrifying......

The next moment, someone slapped him on the shoulder, and Liuyun almost didn't jump. "Master?"

Zhou Yiting looked up in the direction of the palace, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and a deep look in his eyes. "Is everything in the palace arranged?"

This night, since the little wildcat didn't let him climb the wall, he naturally had to find some other fun.

……

This night, someone outside the palace slept very well, and someone thought about how to climb the wall in the future; But there is another kind of excitement in the palace.

Since May, the weather has become hotter, and the Queen Mother's insomnia has been committed again, and the Cining Palace has been living like a year.

Especially these days, the Queen Mother's illness has become more and more serious, and she has not closed her eyes for four or five days.

The Queen Mother is in poor health, and no one in this palace dares to sleep soundly.

And today's Emperor Yunzhou, and has always been filial, now running more and more diligently to Cining Palace, even the concubines of each palace are coming to Cining Palace several times a day to ask for peace, although you can't see the Queen Mother every time, but the key is not to see, but to come.

If you come, maybe you can meet the emperor by chance? Even if you can't meet it, it will at least have a good reputation of filial piety in the ears of the emperor.

When night fell, there was a constant flow of people in Cining Palace, but it was very quiet. ---- the Queen Mother couldn't sleep, and everyone didn't dare to make any sound, lest it affect the Queen Mother's sleep.

"Imperial ......" A palace maid saw Emperor Yun Zhou coming over, and they all saluted, but they were stopped by Emperor Yun Zhou waving his hand.

If the queen mother had fallen asleep today, wouldn't she be woken up again by the attendant who shouted at her like this?

Emperor Yun Zhou has always been filial, and he thought about the Queen Mother everywhere, and waved his hand back from a large group of people who followed him, and only took the personal eunuch Gao Hai into it together, and went straight to the inner hall where the Queen Mother was resting.

The drapery in the dormitory is deep, and the smell of soothing incense fills the room.

The moment he saw the Queen Mother, Emperor Yun Zhou had a smile on his face, but his mood was a little heavier.

The Queen Mother was already old, and now, she hasn't closed her eyes for a few days, and this body is afraid that it can't withstand such a toss.

Emperor Yun Zhou was in a heavy mood, his mother, the most noble woman in the world, saw that it was not as good as day by day......

Suddenly, Emperor Yun Zhou snorted in his heart, blaming himself for being cranky, and walked over to hold the Queen Mother's hand: "Queen Mother, are you better?" Are you feeling sleepy today? ”

The Queen Mother opened her eyes, shook her head, and said in a gentle voice: "It's still the same." Even if you close your eyes, you can't sleep. Your Majesty, why are you here again today? The mourning family knows that you are filial, but you are the son of heaven and the king of a country, so you must put state affairs first, and you must not delay major events for the sake of mourning the family. Otherwise, it would be a mourner's mistake. ”

Emperor Yun Zhou's heart was quite uncomfortable, but his face did not show it, and he still said with a smile: "I can't delay, no matter what I say, it's not as important as the queen mother's body......"

The Queen Mother shook Emperor Xiayun Zhou's hand slightly: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, the mourning family is not a big problem, it's just that the weather is hot and I can't sleep." Haven't they all come over the years? ”

Emperor Yun Zhou felt more and more remorseful when he heard this.

I heard the old ladies in the palace say that the reason why the Queen Mother fell into this disease was because when she was pregnant with him, she fell for the plan of the adulterous concubine and almost had a miscarriage...... Later, in order to keep the flesh and bones in her abdomen, the Queen Mother had to take the fruit of the five-flavor flower, which caused the root of insomnia.

In the past, the Queen Mother was still young, and she was carefully cared for by the imperial doctors, and this insomnia was nothing; But in recent years, the Queen Mother has gradually become older, and her body is not as good as before, and she can't sleep like this night after night......

Emperor Yun Zhou blamed himself very much, "Queen Mother, I blame those quacks for not being able to cure your illness, I really want to pull them all out and behead ......"

The Queen Mother smiled instead and took the emperor's hand, "Your Majesty, how can this person not get sick if he eats grains and miscellaneous grains?" What's more, the mourning family heard that this person, when he is old, he is not as good as when he was young. The disease of the mourning family is probably a punishment from heaven, back then, if it wasn't for the mourning family being too persistent......"

Emperor Yun Zhou hurriedly stopped the Queen Mother from talking, and sat with the Queen Mother for a while, and saw that it was already late at night, so he left.

On the way back to the imperial study, the bright moon was in the sky, and the fragrance of early summer flowers and plants was everywhere, but Emperor Yunzhou's mood did not improve with such a beautiful day.

How many years can the queen mother's body survive?

In the eyes of others, she was the incomparably noble Queen Mother, but in the heart of Emperor Yun Zhou, she was just his mother......

The evening breeze blew, and the sudden whispering from behind the rockery in the imperial garden made Emperor Yun Zhou's footsteps pause.

"Have you heard? The Queen Mother can't sleep these days, not because of insomnia......"

Seeing that Gao Hai was about to speak with a cold face, Emperor Yun Zhou waved his hand, but instead went around to the side and hid.

Seeing that the emperor was hiding, the great eunuch Gao Hai had no choice but to take someone to hide in the flowers and trees on the side.

The whispers behind the rockery came with the wind, becoming clearer and clearer.

"Ah, isn't it because of insomnia? What's the reason for that? ”

"Of course it's not because of insomnia. Think about it, in the past, the Queen Mother's insomnia attacks were generally around July and August every year, but now, it's only May......"

"Then since it's not an insomnia attack, why can't the Queen Mother sleep?"

"What else can it be for? Isn't it just for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How long has it been since the concubine selection banquet ended? But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been reluctant to elect the crown princess and prolong the heir. The Queen Mother is worried about this, how can she sleep? ”

Another voice followed and exclaimed: "Ah, it's true, the Queen Mother has been insomnia since the concubine selection banquet...... In that case, the Queen Mother's phoenix body is sick, all because of ......"

"Because of what?"

"Because the prince is not filial......" The words behind the little palace maid suddenly held in her throat, and she was dumbfounded when she looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of her.

The rest of the little palace maids were smarter, and they pulled their companions to kneel down, trembling and asking Emperor Yun Zhou for peace.

Emperor Yun Zhou's face sank like water, and asked, "The prince is not filial?" ”

Seeing that a few little palace maids bowed their heads and were silent, Gao Hai kicked over: "You guys are so bold that you dare to talk about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace!" Are you impatient? ”

The little palace maids were frightened, and hurriedly got up and trembled with their foreheads on the ground: "Return, go back to the emperor, this is not what the slave said......

Emperor Yun Zhou sank his face, raised his feet and left.

Several little palace maids knew that a catastrophe was coming, and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.

As the chief eunuch of the inner court, Gao Hai was majestic and cold-blooded in front of the palace people, no matter how respectful and humble he was in front of Emperor Yun Zhou.

At this moment, seeing that Emperor Yun Zhou had left, Gao Hai condescendingly glanced at a few little palace maids, and waved not far away: "Take it away." ”

A few guards immediately appeared not far away, and they came over and skillfully covered the mouth of the little palace maid and dragged them away silently.

Ahead, Emperor Yun Zhou walked faster and faster, obviously very angry.

Gao Hai finished dealing with a few little palace maids with broken mouths, and hurriedly caught up: "The emperor is angry, the dragon body is important, it's just a few cheap maids talking nonsense......"

"Nonsense?" Emperor Yun Zhou stopped at his feet and looked back at Gao Hai: "Gao Hai, I didn't know that there were such ridiculous rumors in the palace!" ”

The candidate for the crown princess has not been decided for a long time, which is what he originally meant. Now some people say that the Queen Mother is sick because of this incident, isn't this saying that the Queen Mother's illness is caused by him, the emperor?

The more Emperor Yun Zhou thought about it, the more angry he became.

Gao Hai shook his head secretly.

The person who came up with such rumors is a fool.

On the surface, this matter seems to be aimed at the crown prince, but I don't know that the princess's delay in making a decision was originally deliberately done by the emperor, and the emperor cares about the queen mother the most, but some people make a fuss about this matter and have anything to do with the queen mother's illness...... In this way, can Your Majesty not be angry?

What's more, this matter also involves the government, the position of the prince, and the struggle for imperial power......

Some people are just too smart!

Gao Hai sighed secretly.

The Emperor was silent for a while, "Gao Hai, I don't want to hear this nonsense anymore. ”

Gao Hai hurriedly lowered his head and said yes.

It is the most difficult to find the root of this kind of rumor, after all, there are too many princes and ladies in the palace staring at the East Palace. But if you just plug the mouths of those random rumors, it is still easy.

Merely...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have a hard time in the coming days.

Hey, what a motherless child!

Gao Hai thought of the queen mother in Fengyang Palace again, and his heart tightened.

This kind of thing, as soon as there were signs in the palace, the queen mother should have stopped it, but now, she allowed these nonsense to reach the ears of His Majesty...... This is clearly the queen's laissez-faire and deliberate.

Its purpose is also self-evident.

But what about the emperor? The emperor's heart is like a mirror, so he asked him to deal with this matter.

It's just that this kind of thing, even if it can block the population, how can it block people's hearts?

In the palace, gossip can kill people many times!

Over the years, has he seen this kind of thing very often?

What's more, this matter also involves the Queen Mother.

What will the Queen Mother think?

Gao Hai shook his head, behind the emperor here.

Of course, the Queen Mother also heard this kind of rumor.

After Emperor Yun Zhou left, his henchman stepped forward and persuaded: "Queen Mother, why didn't you tell the emperor about that matter just now?" ”

The Queen Mother was solemn and shook her head: "What did you say?" Yi Ting's child is filial piety or not, isn't it clear in the hearts of the emperor and the mourning family? Zuo is just some people, seeing that the mourning family is distressed that Yi Ting's motherless children are more, they can't sit still. A group of jumping clowns, let them make trouble, the emperor is like a mirror in his heart, and he will not wronged Yi Ting's child! ”
