223 Cloud board funeral
Du Mingxin pursed his lips and smiled, turned around to get his clothes and waited for him to wear, and said with a smile: "If this kind of thing is going to be angry with you, then do I want to live?" ”
"Don't say that," Chen Xi got up in a hurry, got out of bed and walked to Du Mingxin's side with his shoes on and said, "If you have any ideas, just say it, I'll listen to it!" ”
Du Mingxin put his clothes on him and said, "I already said my thoughts yesterday, but I also know that if you really do that, you must be screwing your temperament." I originally wanted you to be sleek and avoid edges. But firstly, your temperament is like this, and secondly, what you said is right, if the queen really has the wrath of thunder, we can bear it better than Zhang Jian, so why bother to let him hit the stone with an egg? ”
"Then you're really not angry?" Chen Xi still felt uneasy.
"Do two people live," Du Mingxin brushed his shoulders and smoothed the folds on his clothes, "When there are differences of opinion, someone has to compromise a little." ”
"I'm smarter than you and think clearly, so I'll let you." After speaking, she winked at Chen Xi, and then went out with a smile and instructed the maid to set the meal.
When Chen Xi heard her say this, his heart was moved, marrying a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!
He walked quickly behind Du Mingxin, lowered his head and gently kissed her earlobe, and laughed in a low voice: "You still know me best, and you are the best for me." ”
Du Ming pursed his lips and was about to say something, when there was the sound of Brother Kun's running outside, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the beautiful scenery disappeared.
After sending Chen Xi away, Du Mingxin sat on the big kang near the window, picked out a sock made for Chen Xi half a month ago from the sewing basket, and started to make another one according to the other.
Xia Ye took a cup of tea and put it on the kang table, and then stood aside to help Du Mingxin divide the thread and hand the silk thread.
Du Mingxin glanced at her face full of things to say, so he smiled: "Say whatever you want, when will you learn to be like this." ”
Xia Ye said hesitantly: "Will someone say that our palace hand is too long, will the prince say like this?" Why didn't you say a few more words yesterday? ”
Du Mingxin walked with a needle under his hand, and said with a smile in his mouth: "The prince is a good person, if he can really hang this matter high, it will not be him." Since he must be like this, it is no different if I persuade or not, I will accompany him for both good and bad. ”
Xia Ye was silent, and after a while, he said: "Outsiders say that you are a blessing from several lifetimes of cultivation by marrying the prince...... But why didn't the prince find you? ”
Du Mingxin glanced at her with a smile and said, "Strange girl, why did you chew your tongue on your master's head today?" ”
Xia Ye smiled: "The slave just thinks it's not worth it for you!" Hello, no one else knows! ”
"Life is lived by oneself, not in the mouth of others." Du Mingxin smiled, "Whether I'm good or not, the prince just knows it in his heart, I can't control so many others." ”
"That's what you said." Xia Ye lowered his head and continued to divide the line.

Chen Xi entered the palace and was waiting at the gate of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace at this moment, accompanied by the prince and said in a low voice: "...... The imperial doctors only said to the emperor and queen that they would take medicine first. But in private, the old slave heard that it was only these two days......"
Chen Xi thought about Brother Kun at home, and also felt uncomfortable for Chen Yuantai, "Does the emperor know the truth?" ”
"Probably yes." Wang Gonggong's voice was lowered a few points, "The emperor entered the small Buddha hall in the side hall early this morning and never came out. ”
He glanced at Chen Xi and asked again, "Are you in a hurry?" Otherwise, the old slave went in and gave the emperor a salute. ”
Chen Xi looked up at the sun that was already noon, and nodded.
After a cup of tea, the prince came out to pass the word: "The emperor ordered the prince to go in." ”
Chen Xi followed him in, and at a glance saw Chen Yuantai sitting on a wide circle chair. Chen Xi saw that he looked tired, and his tall and straight shoulders seemed to be a little stiff, so he hurriedly stepped forward, presented the list of items, and then told him the ins and outs.
Chen Yuantai flipped through the list and looked at it a few times, but there was not much joy in his heart because Qian Yulan was cleared of suspicion.
"In that case, why didn't Zhang Jian come by himself?" Chen Yuantai asked.
"You also know that he is loyal and honest, a little timid and afraid, but he doesn't want to let Zhaorong be wronged because of his own faults, so he specially asked his sons to come to see his father." Chen Xi replied.
"Cowardly?" Chen Yuantai thought about the queen's almost crazy appearance in the past two days, and Zhang Jian was understandable for this.
"Then you're not afraid?"
Chen Xi looked at Chen Yuantai's haggard appearance, and couldn't help but say: "Erchen doesn't want to see his father worry. ”
Chen Yuantai looked at Chen Xi, his dark eyes were bottomless.
Chen Xi smiled at Chen Yuantai with relief and said, "What people are afraid of is nothing more than loss. Mingxin and I don't take wealth so seriously, and we won't feel sorry for losing it once. If one day he really wants to stay away from the court, the retainers are confident that they can still protect their wives and children and live in the countryside. ”
"You can think about it, the Buddhist scriptures in Shaolin Temple since you were a child have not been read in vain." Chen Yuantai smiled indifferently, "But you should have also heard the phrase 'the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop', many things are not something you can avoid if you want to." ”
"Aren't there still you there?"
Chen Xi rarely said a witty remark, which made Chen Yuantai stunned at first, and then laughed loudly: "Yes, you still have me, Brother Kun and his imperial grandfather!" ”
Chen Xi also laughed, he didn't want to see Chen Yuantai who was as depressed as before.
But Chen Yuantai's good mood only lasted for a few hours.
In the middle of the night, the cloud board in the palace knocked four times in a row, and Qian Yulan, who had been sleeping unsteadily, suddenly woke up. She subconsciously touched her stomach and felt that there was no discomfort in her body, so she reached out and opened the bed tent and asked Qingdai, who was on duty outside the bed: "What time is it?" ”
Qing Dai hurriedly got up to help her sit up, put a shirt on her body, and then replied, "It's about time." Would you like tea? ”
Qian Yulan nodded, and then ordered: "Go and ask Fang Cai what the voice is." ”
Qingdai agreed, turned around and went out.
After a cup of tea, Qingdai walked in quickly, looking a little panicked, and even forgot to bring in the tea bucket.
"What's going on?" Qian Yulan's heart also lifted.
"The palace people outside said that the four cloud boards just now were the sounds of mourning in the palace."
"Funeral?" Qian Yulan was taken aback, and instantly thought of the sick and weak four princes in Kunning Palace. She looked at Qingdai, and the hearts of the two of them sank.
"Now that all palaces are locked, and there is news that no one can come to pass it on until the morning, you go to sleep first, and you can't stand it if you stay up all night." Qing Dai persuaded.
Qian Yulan lay down as she said, but she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. The child in her womb also woke up with her, and couldn't stop kicking inside.
Qian Yulan was a little flustered, not knowing whether this was good or bad.
Qingdai reached out and touched it, and also felt the fetal movement inside. But she's just a daughter under twenty years old, and she can't figure out anything.
"The slave and maid are looking for someone to open the palace gate, and ask the guards who patrol the night to invite the imperial doctor!" Qing Dai said urgently.
"Don't!" Qian Yulan changed to lie on her left side and felt a little more comfortable. "I don't know who is gone in the palace, let's make trouble like this, and in the eyes of those who have a heart, it will be another right and wrong."
"Xu woke up in the middle of the night and startled the child, you go and boil a bowl of fetal medicine for me, and you should be fine if you drink it."
Qing Dai hesitated and said: "The medicine that Imperial Physician Wang prepared before has just finished eating, and this afternoon, the Imperial Hospital sent a pair, saying that Imperial Physician Wang has given you a new prescription, eat it first and try it, if it is good, you will have more of it...... The slave thought that you were not feeling well now, and if you suddenly ate a new recipe, would you be even more uncomfortable? ”
"Zuo is just a fetal pill, and it can't be eaten badly." Qian Yulan smiled, "Go boil, eat early, I'll go to bed early." ”
Qing Dai nodded, went first and then called Indigo to get up with Qian Yulan, and personally boiled medicine in the tea room.
The medicine was soon cured, Qing Dai and Indigo were having fun on the side, and Qian Yulan also felt much more comfortable, so she drank the medicine and lay down, and soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, as soon as the palace door opened, there was news that the fourth prince died in Kunning Palace at night.
However, Qian Yulan began to have abdominal pain after getting up, and soon became red.
