Chapter 143: Disappearing
The next day, Queen Yu came to the Queen Mother's palace, and saw that the Queen Mother's diet had been reduced in the past few days, and Haosheng comforted her, and said, It's not a matter for the emperor and the prince to be so stiff, and in the end, if the emperor is really angry, the prince can't be good, right? It also made the Queen Mother worried. It is better for the queen mother to persuade the crown prince and let him admit his mistake to the emperor, be soft, and pass this hurdle first. Besides, the courtesy of father and son is a common practice that everyone in this world must abide by, if the prince and the emperor have been standing up for a long time this time, let those ministers buckle the hat of unfilial piety, it will be very unfavorable to the prince in the future.
This last sentence hit the queen mother's weakness. The queen mother was silent in front of the queen, and not long after the queen left, she took a soft sedan chair to Changning Palace.
It is said that without the emperor's edict, no one can enter the Changning Palace. But the Queen Mother came in person, but no one dared to stop her.
When the Queen Mother saw Chen Youcong's face, she was first distressed, afraid that he would not eat well, sleep well, and feel uncomfortable, and then couldn't help but count him down.
Chen Youcong knew that he was really worrying his grandmother, and he listened to everything she said, and at the same time kept comforting him softly.
"What are you going to do now?" The Queen Mother finally calmed down a little and asked Chen Youcong: "You can't always be so stiff with your father, right?" Besides, spreading the word will also damage your reputation. Why don't you go and ask your father for a sin and ask him for forgiveness. ”
"Grandmother," Chen Youcong said, "Father doesn't just want me to bow my head to him and admit my mistakes. He wanted me to marry Miss Yu as the crown princess, and ......" The prince's voice became difficult: "Father wants to take Ah Zhao as a concubine." ”
"I know all this. Grandmother knows you've been wronged. The Queen Mother patted Chen Youcong's hand distressedly: "But what is the way?" Your father, since he was a child, he was whatever he wanted, and he was whoever he wanted, and he had never listened to the persuasion of others? used to spoil Jin Guifei to be lawless, but now it's ......
Alas! ”
The Queen Mother let out a long sigh and continued: "But he is the emperor, and you are both his son and his courtier. If you don't do what he wants, I'm afraid I'll ......."
The Queen Mother didn't finish her words, but how could Chen Youcong not understand what the Queen Mother wanted to say next? He said softly: "I understand my grandmother's worries. But grandmother, please think about it, even if my father accepted Ah Zhao as he wished today, with his temperament, even if he was satisfied for a while, but the fact that Ah Zhao and I used to be in love with each other must be like a thorn in his heart, and he has to take it out and turn it over from time to time. At that time, whether it is me or Ah Zhao, I am afraid that it will be as rare as being roasted on the fire. ”
The Queen Mother must admit that what Chen Youcong said is very reasonable, and Chen Jianjun is indeed such a sensitive and suspicious character.
"But," the Queen Mother sighed again: "If you have been fighting with your father, I am afraid that your father will be angry and abolish you, and choose one of your two younger brothers to be the crown prince." How will you deal with yourself then? What is the result of the deposed prince since ancient times, you have read so many books, you know better than me! ”
"Grandmother, if my father accepts Ah Zhao as a concubine, I'm afraid he won't want to see me even more." Chen Youcong smiled bitterly: "Actually, the situation has developed to this day, whether my father Na Na Zhao or not, he has completely annoyed me. If so, why sacrifice Ah Zhao? She doesn't want to be a concubine in her father's harem, I know this very well. What's more, there are so many people next to her who are eyeing her, and she doesn't know the tricks of the harem concubines, so I'm afraid that she will be in a worrying situation at that time. Although Concubine Jin has been grounded temporarily, her years of prestige are still there, and maybe her father will think of her again. She hates Ah Zhao to the bone, and she will not tolerate mercy. ”
"What you say is true, but it's not a way for you to be locked up in the palace all the time?" The Queen Mother was worried.
"Grandmother, don't be worried. The grandson is always the son of the father, and he is still a little unbearable to the grandson, otherwise it would be more than just a circle. Moreover, her father also had a lot of admiration and admiration for Ah Zhao, and he never forced her by force. I hope that when my father is angry in the past few days, I saw that Ah Zhao was really reluctant to enter the palace, so I dispelled this idea. Ah Zhao is really not suitable to stay in the palace, so when the time comes, it is better to ask her grandmother to find an excuse to send her away. Chen Youcong tried his best to comfort the Queen Mother. But in fact, he himself did not know how certain the outcome he envisioned could be realized.
"Alas! That's it. It's just bitter for you! "The Queen Mother has imagined many times, if Zhang Weizhao can enter the East Palace to accompany Chen Youcong in the future, they are all such smart and handsome people, and the children born in the future don't know how cute they will be. Now all those hopes have come to naught.
"I just want her to live a happy life." Chen Youcong's eyes looked west, which was Xiyuan, the direction where Zhang Weizhao was. His whole life may be consumed in the strife of the Forbidden City, but he hopes that she can get the life she wants.
The queen mother failed to persuade the crown prince to bow to the emperor, and returned to Changle Palace to worry even more.
The reason why there is a deeper worry is because the queen mother knows that what the prince said is reasonable, even if the prince bows his head at this time, Chen Jianjun forcibly accepts Zhang Weizhao, and the prince and Zhang Weizhao will not have a good time after that.
What's more, with a personality like Zhang Weizhao and a Taoism, I'm afraid she won't be so easy to become obedient and take care of her favor, I don't know what will happen in the future.
But the Queen Mother felt that Chen Youcong was not entirely right. Chen Youcong felt that Chen Jianjun still had some respect for Zhang Weizhao, and if she insisted on being unwilling, Chen Jianjun would not force her to accept her in the end. The matter passed slowly.
But the Queen Mother has been in the deep palace for decades, and she knows that there are too many variables in such a predicament, and what the future will be like is full of unknowns.
How can we get out of this dilemma? The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind.
After the queen knew that she had persuaded the queen mother, the queen mother immediately went to the palace. But it seems that the Queen Mother's persuasion has not been very effective, and after the Queen Mother has been there, the prince has not moved for two days.
Chen Jianjun naturally knew about this, but he pretended not to know anything, just kept hanging the prince to see when he bowed his head.
Another day later, early in the morning, when Chen Jianjun went to the morning court, the Queen Mother suddenly took someone to the Feixian Palace in a sedan chair.
According to the return of the Empress Yu's people placed in Xiyuan, the Queen Mother went to the Feixian Palace, burned incense in the Queen Mother's Palace, and left Zhang Weizhao alone to talk. I don't know what Zhang Weizhao said to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was furious and ordered someone to lock Zhang Weizhao in the house, not to give her food, and to let her reflect on her mistakes.
After locking up Zhang Weizhao, the Queen Mother took people back to Changle Palace in a rage.
Queen Yu was a little gloating in her heart. This time, Zhang Weizhao completely offended the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother estimated that she had already canceled her plan to make Zhang Weizhao a concubine for the crown prince. Do it, you just do it, but you have a bit of grace and ability, and you really think of yourself as a fairy daughter? It would be nice to put your little life into it too. The queen cursed Zhang Weizhao in her heart.
When Chen Jianjun came back from the next court, he also heard about the Queen Mother's going to Feixian Palace, and Zhang Weizhao was annoyed by Zhang Weizhao and locked her up without food and water. No one knows what Zhang Weizhao said to the Queen Mother, and how the Queen Mother got angry. But Chen Jianjun guessed that the queen mother should have annoyed Zhang Weizhao and hindered the prince's future. The crown prince is the meat on the tip of the queen mother's heart, whoever moves the queen mother will be in a hurry, Chen Jianjun thought with some sour thoughts.
But it's okay to let Zhang Weizhao suffer a little, Chen Jianjun plans in his heart. When she has suffered enough from others, she knows who she can live happily with.
Chen Jianjun made people pay close attention to the movements of Changle Palace and Feixian Palace, and immediately came to report to him as soon as there was any trouble.
Who knew that after one night, the next day, I didn't see the Queen Mother lift Zhang Weizhao's ban. Counting up, Zhang Weizhao has not eaten or drunk for almost twelve hours. Chen Jianjun was still pondering this matter on the way to the morning court, and suddenly felt that something was not right.
Chen Jianjun understands the Queen Mother, she is not the kind of person who prohibits and kills and decides, even if there are palace maids and eunuchs who anger her in the past, they have always been handed over to the stewards and eunuchs to deal with, and she does not like to punish people personally. Why did Zhang Weizhao punish Zhang Weizhao so aggressively this time?
Chen Jianjun has been absent-minded when he was listening to politics in the court. After getting off the court, he directly ordered to fly to the Immortal Palace.
The royal driver came to the gate of the Feixian Palace, and the Daoists inside hurriedly came out to greet him. Chen Jianjun ignored everything, walked through the layers of halls, and walked straight to the door of Zhang Weizhao's single room in the backyard, glanced at it, and asked Huai En to knock on the door.
Wynne first slammed the door lightly and called out to Zhaoming Zhenren. There was silence inside, and no one responded. No matter how hard I knocked on the door, there was still no sound. When you push the door with your hand, it is tied tightly from the inside. Chen Jianjun waved his hand to slam the door.
After the door was smashed open, Chen Jianjun ordered everyone to stay outside the door and took Huaien inside. When he arrived at the inner bedroom, the bed curtain was lowered, and Wynne stepped forward to open the bed curtain and hung it on the bed hook, and a slender figure could be seen lying horizontally in the quilt.
Chen Jianjun stepped forward to uncover the quilt, and as expected, inside the quilt was a roll of mattresses rolled up in the shape of a human. Looking around, there was a window that was unlocked and hidden.
Chen Jianjun was greatly annoyed and ordered people to search around the Flying Immortal Palace. It's just that he almost turned Feixian Palace upside down, and there was no trace of Zhang Weizhao.
Chen Jianjun immediately went to Changle Palace and asked where the Queen Mother got Zhang Weizhao? The Queen Mother was surprised, I only let her shut herself in the room to reflect, who knows where she ran away?
Chen Jianjun said that she is nowhere to be seen now, only the Queen Mother has been to the Feixian Palace in the past two days, the palace is strictly forbidden, is it not the Queen Mother who took her away, or who could it be?
The Queen Mother sneered: "Anyway, you must be suspicious of me, okay, I'll tell you, I strangled her to death and sank her into the imperial river." ”
Chen Jianjun was shocked and said, "What?!" ”
