Chapter 148: For Whom
The Queen Mother didn't expect Chen Jianjun to suddenly shout such words, and turned her head to look at Chen Jianjun with extremely surprised eyes:
"I didn't expect that after so many years of hard work to raise your son, you would say the same thing about me! Since you're like that, we might as well spread it out! Who favored Jin Ling'er's poisonous woman and caused her to harm the harem and kill your heirs and concubines? If it weren't for the fact that you are used to hurting people with Jin Ling'er, how could Ji Lingyun hide and give birth to a prince in Anle Hall? If it weren't for Jin Ling'er's poisoning, how could Cong'er lose her mother at a young age? If I don't protect him, can he grow so big? Now you say that I spoil my grandson and forget you, do you still have a conscience? The Queen Mother couldn't help but burst into tears as she spoke.
"He lost his mother at a young age, so why shouldn't I?" Chen Jianjun didn't let it go at all: "Back then, you ignored my pleas and insisted on entering Nanyuan with your father." Do you know what that uncle did to me after you were all gone? Does anyone know that the prince of Da Yan actually lives a precarious life with little food and clothing? Where were you when I was hungry and wailing? Uncle Emperor in front of me, beat the people around me to the ground with blood all over the ground, my head was deflated, I was only five years old at the time, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep all night, where were you then!? ”
Hearing Chen Jianjun mention that tragic time again, the Queen Mother couldn't help but soften her heart and sighed: "Emperor, the situation forced me at that time, your father and I naturally couldn't bear you in every possible way, but what can we do?" And," the Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said the words in her heart: "If I don't enter Nanyuan, I will only let your father and Emperor Qian and a few young concubines enter Nanyuan together, they will be accompanied by your father and emperor day and night during their captivity, and the princes and princesses who were born will also grow up under your father's knees, I am afraid that there will soon be no place for our mother and son in your father's emperor, how can you have the opportunity to continue to be your crown prince, and then be able to inherit the great treasure!" ”
"You're not for me! You're here to compete for favor with Queen Money! Even after you came out of Nanyuan, you rarely looked at me squarely, you only thought about competing with Queen Qian! Although she was a queen, she had no children and was disabled. But you are young and healthy, and you are the mother of the prince and the eldest princess. You think you should overpower her no matter what, but your father always puts Queen Qian, who is blind to crying for him, in front of you. You are obsessed with this, do you still have the spirit to see me? ”
These words poked at the sore spot of the Queen Mother, who opened her mouth several times, but did not make a sound, and finally said with tears in her eyes: "Emperor, being a mother owes you a debt and failed to be by your side when you were young, which made you suffer a lot of grievances. But think about it, since I came out of Nanyuan, why don't I want to accompany and care for you? But what about you? Just blindly holding on to the golden bell, I want to say a few more words to you, you are impatient. Are you now blaming me for ignoring you? ”
Chen Jianjun didn't appreciate it, and sneered: "At that time, you often asked me if I wanted anything delicious and fun, and what kind of clothes I wanted to wear. But how old was I? You still think I'm only three or four years old, how do you want me to answer? And, whenever I ......"
When he said this, Chen Jianjun's heart was like being pierced by a spike, and his voice became hoarse: "Whenever I want to tell you what I experienced outside when you were in Nanyuan, you can talk about him left and right, or say that I am the prince, and I must be tough and generous and withstand hardships." Either say that the past is in the past and there is no need to mention it again. It's all in the past for you, far from it for me! Even now, I often dream of the crooked fat face of the uncle emperor! ”
"Emperor, I, I didn't even know that you were so bitter in your heart......" The Queen Mother tried to appease him.
Chen Jianjun continued to vent his anger: "You don't know, of course you don't know!" You are all about how to compete for your father's favor, you want to be a favorite concubine when he is alive, and you want to rob him of his place in the tomb when he dies, how can you know about me? You still blame me for spoiling Jin Ling'er, you know? When I was a child who cried when I was scared, she was the only one with me! She was the only one with me when I had nightmares! ”
The Queen Mother closed her eyes, and tears slipped down the corners of her eyes.
Chen Jianjun finished venting his anger, looking at his gray-haired and grieving mother, his heart was also painful.
"That's it, that's it! Just as if I didn't say anything! He said discouragedly, "I will release the prince." It's business as usual, just leave me alone. ”
The Queen Mother just cried and couldn't say anything.
Chen Jianjun stood for a while, only to feel that his inner part had been hollowed out, and only an empty skin bag was left. He turned around and floated out of the temple step by step.
Chen Jianjun returned to the Qianqing Palace in a soft sedan chair, and when he arrived at the Dongnuan Pavilion, he collapsed on the soft couch tiredly. Wang Zhi brought a few eunuchs to serve, but Chen Jianjun said, "You go down." Tell Wynne to come and serve. ”
In daily life, Chen Jianjun is still more accustomed to Huaien's peace and carefulness.
Wang Zhi retreated, and Huaien came in to serve Chen Jianjun to wash.
Forcing his eyes to recline on the soft couch, Chen Jianjun said to Huaien: "Find a safe person to go to Changning Palace to pass on my message, saying that the ban will be lifted from now on, and the prince will go to Wenhua Hall to study tomorrow." ”
Huaien raised his eyes and looked at Chen Jianjun, and promised yes, but he was not in a hurry to go out to spread the word, and used a hot towel in his hand to help Chen Jianjun apply his face.
It wasn't until he finally packed up and helped Chen Jianjun lie down on the bed and put down the tent that Huai En found the apprentice he brought out with his own hands to pass the word.
Chen Jianjun was extremely tired, and he fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
Before the next morning, Chen Jianjun still felt groggy when he got up. But he gritted his teeth and got up as usual, half-closed his eyes as Wynne dressed, rinsed, and cleansed.
After everything was cleaned up, Chen Jianjun used half a bowl of porridge and put down the dishes and chopsticks, Huai En suddenly came over and knelt in front of him, bowed his head with both hands, and said, "The old slave is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!" ”
Chen Jianjun frowned and said, "What's wrong with this early in the morning?" ”
Wang Zhi was injured and was carried to the ear room behind the Maoqin Palace. It happened in the middle of the night, because His Majesty was too tired, and the old slave was good at making claims, and did not return to His Majesty immediately. ”
"Wang Zhi is injured? What's going on? ”
"Last night was the news from Xiyuan, saying that Wang Zhi entered the single room of Zhaoming Zhenren in Feixian Palace at night, and had a dispute with Zhaoming Zhenren, Zhaoming Zhenren was almost out of breath by Wang Zhi's neck, and picked up a pair of scissors in a panic and stabbed Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi fell to the ground, and Zhaoming Zhenren called for help, only to be discovered. ”
"What!" Chen Jianjun was completely awake now. "How is Zhaoming Zhenren now?"
"Zhaoming Zhenren is fine, and now he is resting in the Flying Immortal Palace. Wang Zhi has a doctor watching. Because the old slave thought that the emperor might want to interrogate him, he placed him in the ear room. ”
The real wave is unsettled and wave after wave, how could Wang Zhi sneak into the single room of Feixian Palace in the middle of the night and start with Zhang Weizhao? Chen Jianjun wanted to immediately summon Wang Zhi over to ask what was going on.
But now that the early dynasty is imminent, he cannot be delayed.
He stomped his feet and said, "Look at Wang Zhi!" Wait for me to come back and ask him! "Flick your sleeves and face up.
Throughout the court meeting, Chen Jianjun was restless. It's almost the end of the year, and the proposals put forward by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household on the New Year's Festival celebration have all been sent back by him for retrial. When the courtiers saw that the emperor was in a bad mood today, they almost stopped talking.
So he went down early.
Back at the Maoqin Palace, Chen Jianjun ordered Huai'en to say: "Chuan Wang Zhi came back and talked back!" ”
Huaien said back and forth: "Your Majesty, Wang Zhi is ......, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reply." ”
"How?" Chen Jianjun wondered.
The doctor said that originally, although the wound on his abdomen was relatively deep, there was still hope for improvement after using the wound medicine to bandage it well. However, it may be that Zhaoming Zhenren's scissors are what she usually uses to cut medicinal herbs, and the drug residue on them causes the wound to be unable to coagulate, and the bleeding has not stopped. Wang Zhihe, it won't last long. ”
"Where is he now?" Chen Jianjun asked.
"Still lying in the back of the hall."
Chen Jianjun stood up and went to the ear room.
When they arrived at the ear room, the imperial physician and the two little eunuchs who looked at Wang Zhi hurriedly stood up to salute, Chen Jianjun ignored them and walked straight to the couch to check. I saw that Wang's face was like gold paper, his eyes were closed, and he was obviously unable to answer any interrogation.
Chen Jianjun asked the imperial doctor: "Is there still salvation?" ”
The imperial doctor arched his hand and said: "Shu Chen is only shallow in his studies, and he can't do anything. ”
Chen Jianjun flicked his sleeves and returned to the Maoqin Palace, frowning and asking Huai En, who followed up, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Wynne replied, "It happened in the middle of the night, and no one knows when he arrived in Zhaoming's single room. It's just that Shi Yan, a little Taoist aunt who lives in the same courtyard, suddenly heard movement in her sleep, faintly the sound of Zhaoming Zhenren scolding, she got up to check, but saw a person under the moonlight holding her stomach and stumbling out of Zhaoming Zhenren's single room, and fell to the ground, she hurriedly walked around and walked into the house, but saw Zhaoming Zhenren sitting on the ground leaning on the table leg, when she lit the lamp to look, she found that Zhaoming Zhenren had blood at the corner of his mouth, and there were obvious finger pinching marks on his neck. ”
"Who else knows about this?" Chen Jianjun asked as he paced around the room. He didn't want many people to know about it, because he didn't want Zhang Weizhao to be implicated in this matter. Although it is still unclear how Wang Zhi clashed with Zhang Weizhao, Wang Zhi actually dared to break into Zhang Weizhao's inner room in the middle of the night, and Chen Jianjun felt that his death was not a pity for this one thing alone.
"The one who guards the Flying Immortal Palace is a reliable person sent by the old slave. That Shi Yan was given by the Queen Mother to Zhaoming Zhenren's attendant, and she knew how to measure herself, she directly found the guard, and the guard quickly came back to inform the old slave. Now the people serving in the Qianqing Palace only know that Wang Zhi was injured, but no one knows how he was injured. ”
