Mingzhu frowned: "Didn't you say that the political views of the eldest uncle were not in line with you and the Empress Dowager?" ”

Fu Cong said: "Your grandmother only gave birth to three of our brothers and sisters, one mother and one sibling, and they grew up together, and the relationship is not bad." If it is only a difference in political opinions, it will not come to the point where they will not get along with each other for old age. You are young, I don't remember, you also have a third cousin, about the same age as your second brother, he was involved in a matter, it is not entirely his fault, but he does have a responsibility that cannot be shirked, and the victim forced him, and I had to send him to prison and sentenced to death. Your eldest uncle begged me and begged the Queen Mother, but I was soft-hearted but not soft-hearted. ”

That's exactly what happened! Mingzhu was a little dazed, and then realized: "No wonder." I'll just say it, it's all a family, and the eldest uncle's temper is too weird, how can the elder brother and Fu Zifei do it like this, completely ignoring the blood of the clan, and only want to come out, it turns out that there is a grudge. At the same time, I also feel that the Queen Mother should not be, she really doesn't want family affection and blood.

Fu Cong said: "I have done the same thing myself, Yu Li, I understand His Highness, Yu Qing, I feel the same mood as you." Don't go and intercede with him, and don't get angry with him and embarrass him. Your second brother was framed, and I know the child I raised myself...... But now that I've lost him, I don't want you to fold it in, you know? ”

Mingzhu coaxed softly: "I understand, I understand, I will not be stubborn." The fourth brother will definitely find the second brother, and it will be fine, let's not say anything discouragement. "It's one thing not to intercede with Yu Wenchu, it's another thing to do it herself. As long as the second brother does not make a mistake, no matter how much risk she takes, she will try her best to save the second brother and help the second brother. Otherwise, knowing that the second brother was wronged, and watching the second brother die, what is the point of her living again.

Fu Cong was already terminally ill, and he basically didn't care too much about things outside, and he said so many things to Mingzhu today, which was considered to have exhausted all his energy, he was so tired that he couldn't sleep, but he couldn't sleep. Mingzhu saw that he was in great pain, so she forced him to drink tranquilizers, lit tranquilizers, and watched him fall asleep.

From the capital to Tongzhou, the road is long, even if Fu Mingzheng is fast, day and night, it will take more than 20 days before news can come over. In the days of waiting, Mingzhu gradually sank down, she still asked people to send carefully prepared food to the palace, and also asked people to send her words of care and greetings, but she really did what she said and did not take the initiative to go to the Range Rover Pavilion.

She will still go to the palace, because the Empress Dowager will still call her from time to time, and Concubine Min will also ask her to go in and talk to her, comforting and comforting her. She was still busy, but not as busy as before, and had no time to take care of anything else.

She made a planner and divided the time into many parts, got up on the fifth watch, stretched her muscles and bones to practice the dance skills that had been lost for a long time, played with musical instruments, and then summoned the internal and external stewards to arrange and distribute the daily affairs of the house and outside the house, and when things were sorted out and the children woke up, she would read nursery rhymes and tell stories to them, accompany them to play games, correct their bad habits, take the little wolf hammer that has grown up for a walk together, watch it play with the children, and have lunch with the children.

After lunch, the children took a lunch break, she also slept for a quarter of an hour, dressed up and went out, went to the palace to entertain or visit friends to manage foreign affairs, discussed things with the eldest brother, tried to go home before dinner, and happened to accompany the children to dinner, play, talk, send the children to sleep, and then listen to the housekeeper report the day's general affairs, and look at the accounts.

Then it was the most relaxing moment of the day, she made herself a pot of good tea, burned her favorite incense, read books, wrote and wrote, the impetuousness of the day gradually dissipated in this process, the whole person calmed down, went to bed on time at the second watch, no longer stayed up late, and no longer deliberately waited for Yu Wenchu.

Although I often miss Yu Wenchu, I also have enough life like this, proper exercise and study, early to bed and early to get up, busy with things, and friends and relatives to take care of, so that she is full of energy and energy.

Jiang Zhouzi was locked up in the palace and couldn't get out, so she asked Tang Chunlai to pick a group of more suitable and talented orphans to follow to learn medical skills, and Caixia, the female disciple of Jiuqing, went out of the mountain to be Tang Chunlai's helper after avoiding the limelight for a while. This girl is naturally enthusiastic, lively and bright, knows a lot of things, is very popular, and mixes well.

When Mingzhu is free, she will ask Caixia to talk to her and ask about some things, such as gunpowder or something, Caixia is very hesitant, rubbing her hands and saying that she is actually too playful and doesn't know much about this. Mingzhu didn't force her, treated her as usual, and let her do what she did.

In this way, ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, there is no news of Fu Mingzhao in front, but another rumor has gradually risen, the capital is in drought, there are countless meteors across the sky, and there are rumors that there is a heavenly fire falling in the town of Ximachi, which is a hundred miles away from the capital, causing a mountain fire, the fire has been burning for three days and three nights and has not been extinguished, and the heavy smoke can be seen standing on the head of the capital. So a nursery rhyme was sung in the streets and alleys of the capital, "The rebellion in the west, the defeat in the north, began at the beginning, and it was not conducive to light." ”

When Mingzhu heard this nursery rhyme, she knew in her heart that the time had finally come. Compared to the anger of the servants in the palace, she was very calm, and she gave two orders. The first is that no matter who sings this nursery rhyme, they are not allowed to chase and scold these children on the street, and at the same time, if you see someone chasing and scolding these children, you must stop it and prevent it from getting worse.

The second is for Mr. Meng to write ten nursery rhymes, which Li Bochun brought to the Shan Tang and taught them to the orphans who worked in the Shan Tang, and these orphans sang them everywhere. These orphans come from the lowest strata of the world, and they learn not only survival skills, but also read and write, and they learn quickly, and they willingly walk through the streets and alleys, mingling with the children who are playing, and sharing their songs.

After doing these two things, Mingzhu let the kitchen prepare a refreshing and delicious meal, and then went to the cellar to pick out a bottle of home-brewed wine. Then he changed into a home-style saree, simply tied his hair into a bun, brought only two beaded flowers, and did not apply fat powder, and sat under the porch to tell stories to the children.

In the middle of speaking, Hammer, who was sleeping on his side, pricked up his ears, and then trotted out, humming quietly. Su Lan gave Mingzhu a look, indicating that Yuwenchu was here, Mingzhu's eyebrows and eyes did not move, and she still maintained a quiet smile on her face, telling the story softly.
