234. Return to the palace
Throughout the ages, tomb robbers have been shamed by the world, because they are too immoral in what they do, digging other people's ancestral graves and digging the graves of other people's relatives, so as to collect wealth and make a living. But it has not been eradicated, and it cannot be eradicated, because not only those young people will collect this kind of wealth, but even some emperors will have people who specialize in this profession in private.
I didn't feel anything when I read these things in a book before, but when it came to the end, I realized the indignation, especially when I saw Ah Ping like this, my clenched fists were pulled into my palms.
It must be that Chen Ergou! He thought about going down to this underground secret room, he hadn't seen this person since he had been outside the cottage, who knew if he had been lurking around and secretly observing, and when he saw us leave one after another, his mind moved again. Don't let me find this person, if I do, he will definitely vomit out everything he stole and give him a beating!
Suddenly, a thought appeared in his mind, and he glanced at Ah Ping, who was standing with his back to me, if he caught Chen Ergou, I was afraid that it would be...... I'm going to kill the thief. After a few incidents, I have come to know some things, Ah Ping's kindness only lies in me, and he does his best to prevent those dirty things from reaching my ears, but this cannot change his authority and cruelty when he is about to ascend to the emperor. Life is like an ant in the eyes of an emperor, which can be extinguished with a light step.
sighed lightly, hoping that Chen Ergou would not be caught by Ah Ping.
After Ah Ping prayed sincerely, he turned around and said that when he went out, his expression was no longer as angry as before, but it was impossible to smile again. As soon as I closed the wall of the book after returning to the study house, Ah Ping turned around and said to me, "Lan, let's go back to Beijing." ”
I knew that he must have something to say when he lured me down to the secret room, but I was still a little surprised. Back to Beijing...... Chewing these two words gently, I found that I was resistant to them, but I didn't refuse them out loud, because Xiao Yuan'er was still in the palace in the capital, and even if I was an ostrich here, I couldn't never go back.
But Ah Ping's next sentence was: "The emperor's grandfather is not in good health, and I am going to start ruling the country." ”
My heart was shocked, "What's wrong with your imperial grandfather?" ”
I saw that his eyes darkened, and he said softly: "You can't tell outsiders about this matter, this time I went back and learned that the imperial grandfather had fainted twice during my expedition, and the imperial doctor said that it was caused by fatigue, but I talked to the imperial grandfather in private, and he said that he felt angina several times, but he didn't listen to the imperial doctor." Let me keep this secret and make sure that I can govern as soon as possible. ”
Hearing him say this, I was shocked, calculating the time, Zhu Yuanzhang has not many birthdays, and as soon as he dies, Ah Ping will come to power and become Emperor Jianwen. History is rolling quietly, and at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye, the insecurity in my heart is welling up.
Fate never seems to change, and no matter how many twists and turns I try to turn around, it still goes the way it should go, how to ......
"What are you thinking?" Ah Ping suddenly approached me and asked, which startled me, interrupting my contemplation just now, and I couldn't speak in a moment of panic: "I didn't think about anything, it's just ...... I'm worried that it will be difficult to do government affairs. ”
But seeing that his dark eyes locked on me, as if he was probing something, and after looking closely, he felt that he was just used to looking at me so intently, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly: "What's so difficult?" Have you forgotten that I used to learn from my grandfather every day? It's a matter of time before I take office, but I'm more saddened by how the emperor's grandfather's health could have become so bad. ”
I couldn't help but sigh: "Thinking about it becomes a disease." ”
This is not wrong at all, Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid that he is the most industrious emperor since ancient times, he is so diligent that he abolishes the prime minister system and takes all the work of the original prime minister into his own body, which is equivalent to becoming a working machine, how can he not collapse in the long run.
What's more, there are some medical skills in ancient times, and the potential diseases of the human body will gradually come out when they are old, and it is difficult for even the most skilled imperial doctors to detect the symptoms. I heard Ah Ping say that Zhu Yuanzhang will feel angina, and I am afraid that he will have a pathology such as myocardial infarction.
I don't remember the specific time, but based on Ah Ping's age, he is now twenty years old, and at most he will ascend the throne in the middle of next year, so Zhu Yuanzhang should have less than a year to live.
felt dull, only to remember that Ah Ping had not spoken, and turned his eyes to see that he seemed to be thoughtful.
Feeling my gaze, he turned his head to meet my gaze, there seemed to be a calm and decisive look in his eyes, my eyebrows frowned, something stabbed in my heart and felt a faint pain, I heard him speak: "Lan, there is one thing I want to tell you......"
The group set out at noon, and my wishes were important, but they were not decisive. I was alone in the carriage, and I thought with a slight mockery that at least I hadn't been taken away in my sleep, as I had done last time.
I barely got out of the carriage during the whole journey, except for physical needs such as relieving my hands. After a few days of returning to the capital, I listened to the noise outside the carriage and felt surprisingly quiet, as if the noise was far away from me.
It was only after entering the palace gate that my heart beat faster, because I realized that I would be able to see Xiao Yuan'er soon, and I didn't know what happened to him after I hadn't seen him for so long. Calculate the time, go back and forth and go everywhere, it has really been more than half a year, and Xiao Yuan'er will be one year old soon. I still remember that day when Ah Ping took me out of the palace, I asked him to promise not to miss Yuan'er's first birthday, but he gave me the right time and didn't forget it.
After thinking about it, the carriage stopped, and the white and slender hand appeared in sight, and after the curtain was opened, Ah Ping looked in, his eyes were gloomy: "Orchid Garden has arrived." ”
Pulling the corners of his mouth, he saved me from walking and drove me all the way to the door.
I got up and got out of the carriage, looked around, and the familiar scene was in my mind, and I asked, "Is Yuan'er in it?" ”
"Grandfather Huang doesn't know that you're coming back, I'll go and bring Yuan'er over in a while."
Nodding, I walked inward, my eyes lingering behind me until I turned sideways to block my vision, I walked slowly, looking around this once warm courtyard, inexplicably sad.
The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side, and where are the deceased?
Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned his head and his eyes were fixed, yes, only Yan Qi was left.
"I'll go see what's going on in the garden." As soon as Yan Qi came back, he seemed to miss the vegetable garden and hurriedly walked over there. In fact, I know that he also touched the scene, I am afraid that he thought of the many scenes we had in Orchid Garden, especially the green lotus.
Now that the green lotus has returned to Beiping with Zhu Gaoxu, whether it is a blessing or a curse, good or bad, seems to have nothing to do with us. And that day, I was secretly arranged by Ah Ping to leave by night, and I must have been known by Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu after dawn. Don't think about it, push the door and enter the room, the furnishings seem to have changed slightly, the furniture has also changed a little new, looking clean as new, I think someone is cleaning regularly.
Suddenly, someone behind him asked: "Which palace are you from?" How can you come to this orchid garden at will? ”
I turned around and saw that it was a middle-aged woman, with a deep anger on her face but a gentle face, and she couldn't help but call out softly: "Aunt Yun? She was stunned for a moment, looked me up and down again, and finally recognized me and shouted in surprise: "It's the mother who is back." ”
It's no wonder that she didn't recognize it at first, but I really thought it was convenient for men's clothes, and even when I went back to Ginkgo Village these days, I was dressed in men's clothes.
Yun Gu was very happy and excited to see me come back, and came forward to hold my hand, with tears in her eyes, and waited for her to stabilize a little before I asked her about Yuan'er's situation. Speaking of Yuan'er, she burst into tears and laughed, saying that Yuan'er is not smart, she can already walk before she is a year old, and she often babbles and mutters something, and no one understands it. After we left, Yun Gu was arranged to take care of the children in Zhu Yuanzhang's dormitory, and several palace people were also responsible for taking care of them.
It wasn't until Ah Ping came back some time ago that she was transferred back to Orchid Garden, and Orchid Garden was cleaned up.
After listening to it, I didn't feel busy feeling that I didn't participate in Yuan'er's growth, but felt that there was a loophole in Yungu's words, she said that there was no problem in taking care of Yuan'er at Zhu Yuanzhang's place, but she said that Ah Ping would transfer her back to Lanyuan after she came back, so who is taking care of Yuan'er now?
I asked a question, and Yun Gu paused for a moment and replied: "During the day, Yuan'er has always been with the emperor, and sometimes Concubine Lu will send Qinggu to pick up the child at night, and then bring it back to the emperor the next morning." ”
I was able to leave with peace of mind because I knew that Yuan'er was by Zhu Yuanzhang's side, and he loved this great-grandson very much, and it was absolutely impossible to have a half-point difference. Now I was told that Yuan'er was often carried to Concubine Lu's side, although Concubine Lu was Yuan'er's own grandmother, but my heart was pounding uncontrollably.
Suddenly I heard a voice from outside the house, I immediately got up and walked out, and as soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw a small figure in royal blue clothes staggering, and Ah Ping was standing at the door of Lanyuan, Yan Qi was stunned when he heard the sound and ran out.
I noticed that the person who was accompanying Ah Ping was Liu Qing.
Yun Gu called from the side: "Yuan'er, look, your mother is back." The little man raised his head and looked at this place with big eyes, my heart tightened, and they all said that the mother and son were connected, and when they didn't see it, they only felt like a tide of thoughts but they could also restrain their emotions, but when they really saw the tide of love, they came one after another, making their noses feel sour.
