You must know that the awe of the Great Yan people for gods, ghosts, and the way of heaven is unimaginable to modern people. It is precisely because of the belief in these things, but the inability to control them, that they are so afraid of witchcraft and so wary of those who can master these techniques.

So today, Chen Youcong's words, Chen Jianjun listened to them. His eyes softened as he looked at the prince,

Said: "Take the portrait away and offer it with flowers and fruits." I remember she loved that. ”

Chen Youcong bowed in response, carefully putting away the portrait.

"Wynne, send the lantern to the prince." Chen Jianjun said to Huaien. Letting his personal attendant send Chen Youcong is also a way for Chen Jianjun to express his attitude.

Chen Youcong said: "There is Lao Gonggong." Farewell to Chen Jianjun and went out with Huaien.

Huai En carried a glass lamp and led the way in front, and Chen Youcong followed behind. Walking out of the Maoqin Palace, there was a place for a stone's throw, and Chen Youcong asked Huaien softly: "Father-in-law Huaien, how is she?" ”

Wynne replied to whomever "she" was referring to, "I ate, I smeared my wounds, and I slept all the time." ”

"Her ...... Wounds"

"It's okay. I think she's in good spirits, tough and not the kind of person who gets scared easily. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to worry too much. ”

"There is a father-in-law to take care of it."

"The old slave can be saved, Your Highness can rest assured."

As he spoke, he walked out of the Yuehua Gate. Feng Hao was waiting outside the door, and when he saw Chen Youcong coming out, he hurriedly came over with a lantern to guide the way.

Wynne stood by the door, watching the two teenagers walk away.

Today's conversation between the emperor and the crown prince also reminded Huaien of many past events. The child that his friend Zhang Min sacrificed his life to save has grown into a sensible, righteous and intelligent teenager.

At the beginning, when Chen Youcong took out the portrait of Concubine Ji Shu, Huaien sweated for Chen Youcong.

Today, His Majesty the Emperor is struggling to find out whether Zhang Weizhao used forbidden techniques in the court. According to common sense, the prince should stay away from these things and not wade into this troubled water. There are some things that Chen Jianjun was deceived by the villain, couldn't see clearly, or didn't want to see the reason clearly, but those of them who were subordinates saw it clearly. Wang Zhi and Zhang Weizhao have no entanglement, why can't they get along with her? This is obviously ordered by Jin Guifei to use Zhang Weizhao to drag the prince.

As the crown prince grew older and became more assertive, his weight in the Forbidden City and the court became heavier and heavier. And Chen Youcong is different from Chen Jianjun, Chen Jianjun is keen and suspicious, and his emotions fluctuate greatly, while Chen Youcong's personality is much more stable and heavy. There are many courtiers, but they actually have more expectations for Chen Youcong than Chen Jianjun.

This change in the situation made Jin Guifei gradually feel that she could no longer maneuver as freely as before. In the past two years, many people who flattered her saw that she was old and childless, and they did not obey her as much as before. This gave her a lot of sense of crisis.

So she wanted to extend her influence over Chen Jianjun to the crown prince, but the strategy so far has not been so effective.

Zhang Weizhao is a person that the queen mother and the prince rely on very much, and he took Zhang Weizhao to open the knife and lead the suspicion of witchcraft to the prince, which is a big handle in the hands of the Jin family. After all, the crown prince was assisted by Zhang Weizhao in Qing Xiu, which is something that everyone in the palace knows.

If the crown prince is willing to bow down to the Jin family, the Jin family will naturally not make trouble; If he refuses to cooperate, then Kim can seize on the matter and make a big fuss.

Today, the crown prince is unwilling to blindly avoid what the Jin family has done, but takes the initiative to find Chen Jianjun to express his feelings, and puts his thoughts and memorials for Concubine Ji Shufei in an open and honest place. If the emperor approves it, it will not make sense who will accuse him of privately making a portrait of his deceased mother and summoning souls to pay tribute in the future.

This trick is easy to say, but it also takes a lot of risks. If the crown prince fails to impress the emperor tonight, he may be punished immediately for the crime of private forbidden arts, and in serious cases, his position as crown prince will be shaken. Because witch Gu is not only the court, but also the most taboo thing for scholars, if it is because of the witch Gu case to abolish the prince, those literati who support the prince want to find a reason to exonerate the prince, it is not so easy.

Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor still had a little bit of concern for Concubine Shuniang, and he also felt a little guilty about the prince who lost his mother at a young age, so he accepted the prince's statement and did not make the prince's sacrifice to his deceased mother a witch.

It is very likely that this matter will be closed and will not be pursued further. But the impact of this incident will not be so easy to eliminate.

The Emperor had been holding an unrealistic illusion before this incident. He thought that as long as the cause of the death of the prince's biological mother was kept secret and not let the prince know, he could let Jin Guifei and the prince get along. The emperor had an unspeakable worry, that is, he was afraid that he would die at the age of thirty-eight, just like his father and the imperial father. If his time is short, he hopes that his heir will be kind to the Kim family and her family. This is the direct reason why he connived at the Kim family's interference in the prince's marriage.

After this incident, His Majesty the Emperor should be able to feel that his wishful thinking may not have worked. How he needs to plan next to make the situation develop as he wishes, that is, to allow the crown prince to grow up well and become a qualified heir, and not to make the interests of the Jin family suffer after the prince's power grows, I am afraid that it will be very nerve-wracking for him.

The prince's army is dangerous today, and the results are really not bad. But Wynne could see clearly that the prince had acted like this today, not only for the sake of his own long-term interests, but also to clear the name of the girl who was locked in the ear room.

The Prince's concern for the girl was extraordinary.

Huaien had noticed Zhang Weizhao a long time ago.

A person like Huai'en, who served by the side of an emotionally fluctuating emperor all the year round, was highly favored, and was also unanimously respected by the harem and the ministers of the previous dynasty, was indeed not ordinarily deaf and clear-sighted.

The reason why he noticed Zhang Weizhao was because Zhang Weizhao's behavior was different from that of other women in the harem, but he was able to get the attention of the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the same time, which proved that Zhang Weizhao was indeed outstanding.

Wynne, like everyone else in this era, had a deep awe for the mysterious things such as gods and ghosts and the way of heaven. So after a series of events, he believed that Zhang Weizhao did have magical abilities, but it was not a witchcraft with a dirty power, he preferred to believe that it was a Taoist technique with the righteousness of heaven and earth.

In the harem and in the former dynasty, Wynne has seen countless people. Among them, even if some people are smarter and good-looking, and some people are duller and more ordinary, the difference is not that big. Whether you live well or not, one is to look at the person, and the other is to look at the luck.

But some people, just different from ordinary people, are always easy to show in the crowd, such as Ji Shufei back then, and Zhang Weizhao.

These two people have a common characteristic, that is, their eyes are particularly clear, and they have open-mindedness and tenacity in their personalities that ordinary people can't reach.

Many concubines with great backgrounds failed to give birth to and keep the prince, but Ji Lingyun, a palace maid who entered the palace as a prisoner of crime, did it, which is not only a coincidence, but also inseparable from Ji Lingyun's own personality.

Let's just say that Zhang Min, Zheng Qi and Tian Ying are not willful people, but they are all willing to risk their lives in order to save the little prince, which is also because they were inspired by Ji Lingyun.

It's a pity that Ji Lingyun died too early, otherwise her impact on the royal family may be far more than leaving a prince. From this point of view, Jin Guifei was indeed prescient, and she had a hunch of what kind of impact Ji Lingyun might have on Chen Jianjun, so she immediately made a decision.

Chen Jianjun is emotionally attached to Jin Guifei, but the relationship between him and Jin Guifei is full of bloody wind and blood, and it has never really stopped. Huaien felt that Chen Jianjun's headache and heart palpitations had a lot to do with this.

If there was a woman with a quiet personality and a strong heart by Chen Jianjun's side, his state might be much better than now.

There is a common saying in the folk that a good mother makes several generations, and a bad mother also destroys several generations.

Ji Lingyun is a thing of the past, what will happen between Zhang Weizhao and the prince? Wynne didn't know. However, he will do everything in his power to take care of the crown prince for his old friend, which he promised Zhang Min before he committed suicide.

At that time, Zhang Min felt that it was difficult to escape the poisonous hands of Jin Guifei, and arranged his future affairs early. Wynne had also reassured him that the matter might not be that serious, and that he could wait and see. Who knew that Zhang Min insisted on going his own way, and cut himself without waiting for Jin Guifei to make a move. left a suicide note saying that he did not want to die without dignity, nor did he want to implicate more people, and would rather choose his preferred death.

Since an old friend can sacrifice his life for righteousness, he can also keep his promise. And now that the prince has grown up so well, Huai En even has a kind of joy in private that he has grown up at the beginning of his own youth.

He saw that the backs of the crown prince and Feng Hao were gradually moving away, and he also turned around and returned to Maoqin Hall to die.

On this night, everyone went to sleep with their own thoughts.

The next day, Chen Jianjun went to the court early in the morning to deal with government affairs. In the afternoon, after approving the vote submitted by the cabinet, he stretched his waist, walked a few steps outside the Maoqin Hall to refresh his muscles and bones, and then suddenly remembered that there was a person in the ear room, and asked Huaien: "How is the Taoist doctor now?" ”

"I just watched her kid go back and forth, saying that she was boxing in the house in the morning, as if it was a five-bird drama or something, and she had been meditating in the afternoon."

"She's holding her breath." Chen Jianjun pondered for a moment and said, "Take her to the Maoqin Palace." ”

After Zhang Weizhao entered the hall and bowed, he stood with his head bowed and obeyed orders.

Chen Jianjun didn't know how to speak for a while, he just got angry yesterday, but today he called someone again, and he couldn't wipe his face a little. Coughing lightly, he spoke, "Do you know what's wrong?" ”
