CHAPTER XXV
Yin Jingchen: "A few days ago, General Guan came over, and I heard him say it. Sister-in-law, have you seen Ying'er? ”
Li Yushu hurriedly said: "I've seen it, the girl is doing well, and Dong Shizi is still very attentive to her." ”
Jing Chen: "That's good. ”
Li Yuni: "I know you're worried, Ying'er's girl is really blessed, so many people are worried, I sometimes envy her." ”
"Second sister-in-law, it's really ......" Jing Chen joked with a smile. Then he asked, "I heard that my mother is coming?" ”
"Yes, father, there is no one to serve here, although my second child and I are here, but there are also inconvenient places."
"That, grandma and big ..... Sister-in-law? ”
"This, grandma is old, she doesn't want to move, and her sister-in-law accompanies her. There is also a large family in the family, and the sister-in-law is tired. ”
When Jing Chen thought of Chu Yunxi's gorgeous face, it was hard to imagine how she looked like she was ready to do anything.
Li Yuni: "The emperor's illness ......?"
Jing Chen couldn't help but feel sad when she heard her, the death of the imperial brother was a great blow to his father. The body is not as good as it used to be. And her mother has just come out of the pain of losing her son, and now her father is seriously ill, which is undoubtedly worse. All she could do was accompany her mother to comfort her. She had no intention of the court, and now her father's only reliance is Shangguan Jun.
I'm afraid this will be another big challenge for Shangguan Jun, she can't help but sigh when she thinks of this.
After Shangguan Jun came back from the palace, he saw Jing Chen lying on the table and resting, the moonlight dissolving, and the night was quiet, at this moment his heart also became soft, the battle of tongues in the court, the deceit between political enemies, and the moment he returned to Junchen Palace, the moment he saw her, they all became insignificant. Now she is more and more dependent on him, often have to wait for him, sometimes she has to stay up all night when she is busy, she also stays up, he said a few times, she smiled but still like this.
He knew that since the death of the crown prince and Emperor Yin's serious illness, she needed his company the most, but he really couldn't be separated from him, and he had no time to take care of him, and he felt guilty again when he thought of it. Maybe she was really wronged by him with him, not to mention a secret past of his own, that is, his attitude towards her after getting married, he knew that many times she took care of his thoughts, everyone in the family praised her, he was really awkward about her identity at first, snubbed her, and even ignored her, but I don't know when she started to enter his heart again......
He looked at her with a smile, she pillowed her arms, breathed evenly, frowned slightly, this heart that made him suffer from frost outside, the woman who could be comforted was the person he wanted to care for all his life, he bent down slightly, looked down, and when her eyelashes were about to sweep her eyes, she opened her eyes wide, looked at him stunned, and muttered: "You're back." This sentence touched a certain point in his heart, he doted on her, grabbed her waist, and kissed her on the lips, and she cooperated with him in a daze. Her cooperation ignited one of his nerves, and the kiss came like a storm. She put her arms around his neck, and he picked her up......
When Yin Jingchen woke up, there was no one around for a long time, if it weren't for the fatigue of her body and the traces left on her body, she thought it was just a dream. Emperor Yin's reliance on Shangguan Jun, to this day, if she still can't understand it, then she has lived in the palace for so many years. She knew that he had a lot of tough battles to fight, and that the road would be full of blood. There are many obstacles ahead, and she must be his strongest backing.
The Shangguan family has been prepared, and in recent years, thanks to the relaxation of the salt and iron policy, the Shangguan family's business has spread all over the Central Plains. With the country's economic lifeline in its hands, the deficit treasury finally has a surplus. Although it is economically dominant, it is far less influential politically and militarily than economically. And what they urgently need to solve at the moment is a political problem. Sending troops to aid Burma, coupled with Shangguan Jun's status as the original commander of the first guard, as well as the relationship between the Guan family, he still controlled part of the military power. But once Emperor Yin, the biggest backer in politics, leaves, it will cause turmoil in the court, and his position will be awkward.
Even if Emperor Yin personally appointed, he would still find it difficult to convince the public.
What Jing Chen was worried about still happened, and a year after the death of the crown prince, Emperor Yin finally couldn't survive the sick bed and died. When he was dying, he still explained the aftermath.
Yin Jingchen cried heartbreakingly and knelt in front of the bed: Emperor Yin's trembling hand stroked Jingchen's head: "Emperor, my husband still didn't take good care of you, in this life, I guarded against people everywhere, harmed people, and in the end, I couldn't even save my son's life." ”
"Father," Jing Chen stopped him, not wanting him to say any more.
Emperor Yin coughed a few times and then looked at Shangguan Jun: "This country is handed over to you, I hope you will remember my original intention...... Good...... Hold. ”
Shangguan Jun buckled his head heavily: "I will live up to expectations." ”
Emperor Yin nodded, and said to Jing Chen: "You guys go down, I want to say a few words alone with your queen mother......"
Jing Chen looked at the haggard and unattractive Emperor Yin, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. Her father, the emperor, the man who once dominated the territory and ruled the Central Plains wholeheartedly, was so powerless and helpless under the torture of illness.
She nodded, and retreated with Shangguan Jun's support.
As soon as she came out, she couldn't stand it, if it weren't for Shangguan Jun beside her, she would have fallen long ago. Shangguan Jun half supported and half hugged her. Seeing her uncomfortable, he couldn't stand it.
At this time, there was a person kneeling outside Emperor Yin's bedroom, and Shangguan Jun helped her kneel. He gestured to the sycamore, and the sycamore was busy coming over to help him. After a while, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Yin hurriedly came to report: "The emperor is dead." As soon as his voice fell, the cry rang out. Jing Chen just stared at the door of the dormitory in a daze, how good would it be if this was just a dream, the door was opened, and the father would still come out of it, laughing and reprimanding her for being naughty, and then frowning and going to the court to deal with tricky political affairs and realize his dream of unifying the Central Plains.
But this crying voice reminded her that her favorite father was gone, and when she was silent in grief and couldn't extricate herself, Mama Li whispered: "The queen mother has mixed up." ”
With a bang, it was pitch black in front of her eyes, and she didn't remember anything about the rest of the story. When she woke up, she was in Junchen Palace again, and Li Yuni was by her side. She struggled to get up and asked Li Yuni: "Second sister-in-law, I dreamed, I dreamed of my father...... The queen mother ....." and choked up when she said that.
Li Yuni hid her face and wept, bowing her head and saying nothing. There was a faint sound of the death knell, reminding Jing Chen that this was not a dream. She was worried about Yin, and hurriedly ordered Wutong to help him up.
Li Yuni stopped her distressed and said, "Jing Chen, Empress Yin is fine, she is accompanied by the imperial doctor." The queen was just overly sad..... It's no big deal. Now it's you, cheer up, the third ....., I can't take care of you at this time, I really feel distressed to see you like this. ”
Jing Chen said in a choked voice as she lay in her arms; "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, I just want to see my mother."
Li Yuni sighed; "Okay, I'll accompany you into the palace." As he spoke, he helped Jingchen to his feet. shouted Wutong to come in again, Wutong was not there at this time, but came in with a little girl with clear eyebrows, Li Yuni was the first time to see her, and when she saw that she looked good, she couldn't help but look at it more. She didn't think about it, after all, it was inconvenient for her to inquire about the affairs in the palace, although this was Junchen Palace, but Jingchen's identity was different after all, and I am afraid that in the future, I am afraid that it will be ..... It's just one more girl.
At this moment, it was already messy enough, how could she have the heart to pay attention to a girl, she scolded herself in her heart for her many things. Busy and the girl helped Jing Chen tidy up his clothes. The two sisters-in-law hurriedly came to the queen's palace.
Empress Yin had already woken up and saw Jing Chen in tears again. Jing Chen wiped her tears and comforted her: "Queen Mother...... Chen'er is the only one of your relatives left, you must take care of your health, if you are ..... How do I live? ”
Empress Yin patted her on the back and whispered, "If it weren't for you, I really want to accompany your father and emperor to ......" Jing Chen covered her mouth and shook her head to stop her from going on.
Yin * took her hand: "Chen'er, now you should stand by the side of the horse, what he needs most at this moment is you, only if you stand by her side can you block the mouth of the court, so that your father can smile at Jiuquan." ”
Although Emperor Yin had his last words to appoint Shangguan Jun as the new emperor, there were still voices of suspicion, and political enemies used public opinion to incite the people's minds and spread conspiracy theories: "The Shangguan family has ill intentions and is trying in vain to change the dynasty. "Emperor Yin's sudden death was caused by the conspiracy of Shangguan Jun and others. Some people even think that the death of the crown prince is inseparable from Shangguan Jun. Some people even think that Shangguan Jun married Yin Jingchen, and the Shangguan family's control of the salt and iron economy is also a long-planned conspiracy.
Shangguan Han slapped the table angrily when he heard the rumors: "It's too much deception, if my Shangguan family really had this ambition, my grandfather would have ...... it back then" Guan Liren persuaded him not to worry, and he didn't listen.
"I've lived half a lifetime, and the Shangguan family hasn't been so wronged."
"Okay, the new emperor didn't say anything, what are you anxious about?"
"Third child, that's ...... Phew," Guan Han hurriedly patted his mouth and spat out a turbid breath: "I have forgotten, the new emperor, I still can't take care of this, I should really think of a way to let those who rely on the Shangguan family for dinner see if the economy of the entire Central Plains can still operate without our Shangguan family, this Shangjing City, and the entire Central Plains." ”
"Okay, don't block the new emperor, his mess is enough to scorch." Guan Liren reminded him in time.
"Hey," Shangguan Han sighed.
Guan Liren glanced at him and shook his head and said: "What is this, being in the royal family, it is easy to become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner, I think that when Queen Yin's palace withered, there are rumors that the queen mother instructed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make medicinal herbs privately, after all, His Royal Highness the Prince is best at researching medical skills and not letting the palace maidens conceive." In fact, this is the case, Emperor Yin is dedicated to governing the country and is conscientious, how can he have extra time to spend on the relationship between his children and daughters. ”
