Chapter 206: Turning Hands into Clouds and Hands for Rain
The cold wind on a dark moonlit night is urgent, and it is the time to read around the fireplace. Why do you need to believe in thousands of miles, one page to see the world's affairs.
Royal Palace, Begonia Hall
Xiao Youyu and Shen Yuzhang, who had been besieged in the palace for several days, finally received news from outside the palace...
In the evening, Sun Guihai came to the Begonia Palace, ostensibly to send some rewards at Xiao Yan's behest to deliver the news. Xiao Nanfeng verbally explained some things to him yesterday, and asked him to find an opportunity to convey them to Xiao Youyu and them.
At this time, the table in the Begonia Hall was full of fine silk cloths and rare treasures, all of which Xiao Yan would send people to send things to the Begonia Hall every once in a while in order to appease Xiao Youyu.
Seeing that the entourage had put their things away one after another, Sun Guihai saw that there were only three of them in the room at this time, and now was a good time for him to speak.
The opening was polite at first, and then the voice of the speaker was much lowered...
Shen Yuzhang saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, knowing that there must be something to tell them, so he couldn't help but get closer to the person who spoke.
And Xiao Youyu also noticed his abnormality, and both of them waited for him to continue.
I only heard Sun Guihai whisper, "The sixth prince asked the servants to tell the two that the old man has returned to Beijing."
Both of them were stunned when they heard this, this means that Xiao Qingyue has come to Jiankang?
Xiao Youyu couldn't help but ask, "Where is the old man now?" ”
"The old man is in the Linchuan Palace" Although Sun Guihai didn't ask more about the so-called old man, he probably guessed who he was talking about, and he was afraid that it had nothing to do with the daughter of the Ministry of Rites' family.
Hearing that Xiao Qingyue was in the palace, the two couldn't help but think of the concubine selection of the Linchuan palace yesterday at the same time.
Sun Guihai saw that the time was almost up, and if he stayed like this, he would arouse the suspicion of the Praetorian Guards outside the palace.
Before leaving, he said again, "The prince still has a sentence for the slave to bring to the general, if he changes in the capital, he still needs the general to help him" After speaking, he saluted and left the Begonia Palace.
These words couldn't help but make the two of them shocked again!
Xiao Youyu stared at the direction of Sun Guihai's departure and fell into deep thought, there was a change in Beijing? Help him?
Some disbelief asked the man beside him who was also thinking, "The Sixth Emperor Uncle doesn't want to... ”
"Shh Shen Yuzhang hurriedly stopped what she was about to say, "Be careful that the wall has ears" and hurriedly and carefully helped her into the bedroom in the hall.
After entering the hall, Shen Yuzhang cautiously looked around the outside of the room, and only closed the door after making sure that no one would hear it intentionally.
Xiao Youyu stroked her stomach and sat in front of the bed, and couldn't wait to ask again, but her voice was much quieter than before.
"Does he want to rebel" is a taboo in the palace! It's to be extra cautious.
Shen Yuzhang was already frowning at this time, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded a little solemnly.
"Qingyue is back, if the sixth prince wants to keep her, but is unwilling to hand over the secret, there is probably only this way" When they were in Yangzhou before, they talked about this secret, and they didn't agree to keep this thing.
Xiao Youyu couldn't help but be a little anxious, no matter what Xiao Yan said, he was also her biological father, this rebellion has been a king and a defeat since ancient times, and no matter who is the king in the end, he will have to experience different blows and injuries. What's more, she felt that Xiao Nanfeng's move was extremely risky, and it was not a 100% chance of winning, if it didn't work, then wouldn't he and Xiao Qingyue have to die without a place to be buried!
"Now the movement of the Praetorian Guard and the Imperial Forest Army in Beijing is in the hands of the emperor, what is he doing to rebel!" Although Shen Yuzhang had a patrol battalion in his hands, it was far less than the strength of the two royal armies, the Praetorian Guard and the Imperial Forest Army.
Shen Yuzhang didn't think so, "Although the sixth prince has no military power in his hands, his power in Jiankang is still there, when he participated in politics in the court, there were as many as 3,000 guests, if he wants to build momentum, it shouldn't be difficult." If only he had my father's support ... "The odds are high!
Xiao Youyu was puzzled, "How could my father-in-law agree to this, not to mention that I have already married into the Shen family, you are the nominal concubine of the Great Liang, and there is also an East Palace" The eldest daughter of the Shen family is also the crown princess of the East Palace, the future queen, how could Shen Yifu agree to this.
"That being said, you also know that the prince has not been in good health in the past two years, the little prince is still young, and the prince's style of acting is too soft-hearted. For so many years, the power of the East Palace in the court, if it weren't for the Shen family's support behind it, the emperor would have set up another monarch long ago! In addition, before that, when the Fifth Highness Xiao Xu was still in Beijing, the Sixth Prince had also publicly tried to protect the East Palace. The position of the eldest prince in the east palace was preserved. Don't forget, the sixth prince is still the crown prince and the prince of the emperor, the prison country, and now even the chief eunuch of the Xuanshi Palace is his person... If he wants to rebel, it's not a one-time thing! ”
Xiao Youyu shook his head disapprovingly, "The eldest brother of the emperor is humble and polite, gentle and elegant, and he is even more generous and benevolent to others, if the sixth emperor uncle rebels, even if he wins in the end, where will he put the East Palace." Qingyue's relationship with the emperor's eldest brother is so good, I don't believe she will agree to do this, "Isn't there a better way to solve this matter!"
Shen Yuzhang sighed heavily, the current situation is really a little tricky, "It is precisely because of the benevolence and righteousness of the East Palace, it is not as decisive as the six princes, it is undeniable, with the strategy of the six princes, it is more suitable to be a monarch... Alas... These are just my guesses, although the sixth prince has the opposite mind, it does not mean that he wants to seek the dynasty to usurp the throne and become the emperor, he is only doing these things for Qingyue" He is more inclined to believe that Xiao Nanfeng just wants to protect Xiao Qingyue, as for who will be the emperor in the end, it should not be that person's concern.
Xiao Youyu thought about it and felt that this matter still had to be asked to Xiao Nanfeng in person, and it was useless for them to guess here.
"Yuzhang, this matter is very important, we still have to ask the meaning of the Sixth Emperor Uncle in person, not to mention that now Qingyue is also back, I want to see her" Before a hurried farewell in Yangzhou, the two parted ways again, and now that this person is back, she wants to see her.
Shen Yuzhang couldn't help but fall into contemplation again, in this situation, people outside can't get in, people inside can't get out, what can I do...
Linchuan Palace
In the wing room of the East Garden, there were bursts of vomiting sounds, and Xiao Qingyue was sitting on the bed at this time, lying on the side of the bed, retching at the spittoon placed under the bed.
The man sitting in front of the bed frowned and patted her on the back, his eyes full of distress.
Yesterday, I quietly asked Dr. Wang in the house to come over to check the pulse, and the doctor said that Xiao Qingyue was already pregnant for almost a month, and this vomiting was a normal pregnancy reaction, and she would be fine in the first few months.
When Xiao Qingyue heard that she was going to vomit for a few months, she couldn't help but collapse in her heart, which reminded her of Xiao Youyu, who was also pregnant, and she didn't know what happened to her in the palace...
In order not to reveal her true identity, the servants in this courtyard are all maids who came back from Yangzhou, and no one knows that the daughter of this waiter in the Ministry of Rites will be Xiao Qingyue, who is pregnant. In addition to the housekeeper Xu Fu and the old doctor who has served for many years, the two maids who serve closely...
Xiao Nanfeng placed Xiao Qingyue in the East Garden wing where he lived in the mansion before... Although the palace was guarded by the Praetorian Guards, they did not dare to approach the courtyard where he lived, and no one would know what was going on inside.
At this time, Xiao Qingyue had already taken off the human skin covering her face, revealing her original appearance, and with this thing on her face, she was not very comfortable.
With the water cup handed by the man, he drank and rinsed his mouth, and leaned weakly on the edge of the bed.
Xiao Nanfeng thoughtfully took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped the corners of his mouth for some weak people, and did not forget to ask with concern.
"What do you want to eat?"
The person sitting on the bed shook his head slightly, his eyes glazed over, and he muttered as if he had nothing to love.
"How did I have a child at this time?"
The man's eyes sank slightly because of this, "This is your first child with this king, don't you want it?" He used to worry that one day, she would leave him again. Now that she has a child, she probably won't think about leaving him anymore.
Xiao Qingyue turned her gaze back and looked at the person in front of her, "How could I not want it, I just feel that it is a little wrong time" Now that they are in a difficult situation, but they have a child, she is worried that this child will suffer with her.
touched her somewhat haggard face, and whispered relief, "Don't be afraid, everything is with me, no matter what, I will protect your mother and son."
Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but hold the big palm that caressed her face, "Nan Feng, just use the method I said to get out" She had already told him her thoughts, but he still had to think about it again.
The man smiled gently, "You don't have to care about anything, just take care of your body and the child in your womb, and I'll arrange the rest."
Looking at his tender and calm face, Xiao Qingyue felt flustered, she knew that this person still wanted to take risks. But the last thing she has ever wanted to see is that Xiao Nanfeng did this step for her.
Back then, her life experience was known to Xiao Yan, and she was willing to sacrifice herself rather than risk this person, and now it is the same.
The man gripped his fingers back, and in order to soothe her uneasy heart, he couldn't help but tell the whole story of his plan.
"I know what you're worried about, earlier in Yangzhou, when I told Xiao Tong about you, I had already negotiated with him, and he didn't agree to the reappearance of the secret of the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill. If I force the palace to go smoothly this time, I will lead the courtiers to push the East Palace to the throne, and at that time, as long as the new monarch has a holy order, I can return your freedom" This is not against Xiao Yan's original intention, but just let him abdicate earlier.
Xiao Nanfeng knew what he wanted from beginning to end, all he wanted was Xiao Qingyue...
But what if it doesn't work out? Are you 100% sure that nothing will go wrong and that everything is under your control? Xiao Qingyue knew that her man was far-sighted, but this was not a trivial matter, but a rebellion!
The so-called plan can't catch up with the changes, he calculates everything for everyone, but it's all based on victory. What if we lose ...
Not only her and him, but also the people who followed him, including Gao Wenfan Jiang, will all be spared!
This price is too great! She can't afford to gamble! I can't afford to lose!
Both of them looked at each other quietly, they have known each other for so long, and they are not all love, but also support each other along the way.
The man's eyes were written with firmness, and he clenched his hand, "Believe in this king!" "In this game, there is only victory, no defeat, and it is also the most direct way to cut off everything and have no worries!
The woman's eyes were also full of composure, and she persuaded softly, "You have been trying to protect me all along, you will believe me once, okay?"
“。。。。。” Xiao Nanfeng's heart was a little complicated, he knew that this woman wanted to take care of him, and he was moved in his heart, once upon a time, who was so for him...
And this game, how should they spend it...
