Chapter 84
King Yu is actually fine, he deliberately held back in the water for a while in order to make things more complicated, but when he was carried back by the people around the emperor, he was wearing wet clothes all the way and felt cold.
He was worried about his illness and asked Ye Qian to go back to the Hou Mansion, but Ye Qian refused, "Brother Yan is sick, I want to stay here to take care of Brother Yan." If it's too sick, then it's just the right time for the two of us to take medicine together. ”
She refused to leave, Xiao Yanfeng also let her go, originally he also wanted the little girl to stay with him more, Besides, he has always been physically strong, and this wind and cold will be fine soon.
Something so big happened, the palace was already in chaos, the emperor woke up and was furious, Concubine Shu cried and fainted several times, to die or live to let the emperor find out the murderer, and the words implied that this time it was the prince's hand.
Concubine Yu was so anxious to die, her son fell into the water like King Rui, King Narui is dead, is his son also seriously injured? It's a pity that she can't go out of the palace to see, so she can only go around the Ning Jade Palace in a hurry.
Xiao Yanfeng was planning to pretend to be seriously ill, and he would go to see the emperor in a few days, but he was worried that the concubine was too anxious, so he originally wanted Ye Qian to enter the palace in person to comfort the concubine, but after thinking about it, he gave up, although the little girl has grown up a lot this year, and she can cope with the general situation, but if she meets the prince, it is still too dangerous. He sent Gonggong Kang to send a basket of apples to his mother, to report his safety, and said that he had nothing to do, and he would enter the palace to visit his mother in a few days.
The little waiter boiled the medicine that the deer doctor was prescribing and sent it in, Ye Qian and the other medicine were slightly cooler, and pushed it in front of Xiao Yanfeng, "Brother Yan, you drink the medicine." ”
Xiao Yanfeng glanced at it with disgust, the black medicinal juice smelled very bad, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, his body has always been strong, he rarely gets sick, he has basically never drunk medicine, and he doesn't want to drink it at the moment, "Put it there, and drink it later." ”
Ye Qian tested the temperature with her hands, "It's just right now, it's too cold and it's out of medicine." She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yanfeng's expression, and asked suspiciously, "Brother Yan doesn't want to drink?" ”
The little girl has always been by her side, and she has no chance to pour this medicine even if she wants to take the opportunity, Xiao Yanfeng simply said: "Qianqian, in fact, I don't need to drink the medicine at all, I will be fine soon." ”
He really didn't want to drink it. Ye Qian pursed her lips and said solemnly: "Brother Yan can't be like this, if you are sick, you have to take medicine obediently, so that you can get better quickly." ”
Xiao Yanfeng saw the little girl's serious appearance, and pinched her bulging little face funny, but refused to reach out to take the medicine bowl.
Ye Qian sighed, took the bowl in his hand, scooped a spoonful of medicinal juice and sent it to Xiao Yanfeng's mouth, "Brother Yan must get better quickly, otherwise, after the illness is given to me, I will have to accompany Brother Yan to feel uncomfortable." ”
Xiao Yanfeng's heart softened suddenly, it didn't matter how uncomfortable she was, it wouldn't be okay if she made the little girl uncomfortable, not to mention, she had to feed herself medicine with her own hands. He took the spoon in his mouth and swallowed the liquid in one gulp.
Ye Qian coaxed him softly, "Brother Yan obediently drank the medicine, and there will be sweet candied fruit for Brother Yan to eat later." ”
This girl coaxed herself as a child, Xiao Yanfeng smiled and said: "The medicine fed by Qianqian is sweet, and there is no need for candied fruit at all." ”
Ye Qian pursed her lips and smiled, and sent another spoonful of medicinal juice to his mouth, and after a while, a bowl of black medicinal juice all entered Xiao Yanfeng's stomach. Xiao Yanfeng went to the clean room to rinse his mouth, came back and leaned on the soft couch, beckoning, Ye Qian ran over and leaned on his arms, "Brother Yan, you said that the prince killed King Rui, how will this matter end in the end?" ”
What's the end? In his previous life, the prince also killed King Rui, and it wasn't like nothing. Xiao Yanfeng held her hand, "As soon as King Rui dies, his faction can only be a tree falling and scattered, who will go against him in order to report to the prince, and only Concubine Shu will remember him." As for his father, he has already lost a son, and he definitely doesn't want to lose another one, not to mention that this is still the prince of the country, besides, there is no evidence that the prince harmed King Rui. "The prince originally arranged this incident as an accident, but he fell into the water at the same time, but he made it a conspiracy. The emperor will inevitably suspect that it was the crown prince's hand, and even if he doesn't kill him, he will be wary of him.
Ye Qian thought silently for a while, "The royal affairs are really cruel, King Rui put his life on the line in order to grab that position." "In the final analysis, the prince had to kill King Rui, not because King Rui grabbed the seat with him and forced him too hard.
Xiao Yanfeng held her, that seat? He also wants it, don't look at what the mother wants is very simple, but only by sitting in that seat can she be truly free. There is also her own little girl, the prince is eyeing her, who knows if the prince can put it down in the future, and only by sitting in that seat can she keep her safe. Moreover, the crown prince is not tolerated, and under his hands, even if he does not fight or rob, he may not be able to save his life if he is only an idle prince.
Both of them were a little silent, and the room was quiet for a while, but suddenly a man in the courtyard shouted: "Cousin, cousin has come to see you!" ”
Another girl's delicate voice said, "Cousin, I've come to see you." ”
Cousin? Cousin? Ye Qian frowned suspiciously, she remembered that her mother had said that Concubine Yuniang had an elder brother, who seemed to be a marquis, but she had known King Yu for three years and had never seen this family.
Ye Qian just wanted to get up from King Yu's arms, but was held down by his hand, Ye Qian struggled slightly, but King Yu did not relax, she was a little anxious, "Brother Yan, let go, come to the guest." ”
"What kind of guests are they?"
His voice was cold, Ye Qian looked up at him, but saw that King Yu's handsome face seemed to be cold, and shouted: "Let them go!" ”
Immediately, there was a shrill voice from the courtyard, as well as the man's angry reprimand, and the woman's crying, Ye Qian wanted to get up and look, but King Yu hugged her tightly and didn't let go. After a long while, the courtyard quieted down, and King Yu snorted, "Gonggong Kang is not here, and these people under him don't know how to measure, and all cats and dogs are put in." ”
No wonder I have never seen this family, it turned out that Xiao Yanfeng didn't want to see them, Gonggong Kang stopped them, today Gonggong Kang entered the palace to report the safety of the Jade Concubine, obviously the little chamberlain under him didn't know much, and when he heard that it was the cousin of the prince, he let it in.
"Brother Yan, don't be angry." Ye Qian held his hand and said softly, "Brother Yan doesn't like them?" ”
"I don't like it." King Yu replied without hesitation, "The family is all people who tend to be inflammatory. If it weren't for this disgusting uncle, how could the mother be trapped in this palace, and her beloved could only disguise herself as a eunuch who took care of flowers and trees, hiding in the corner where there was no light, watching her silently. That is, for the sake of these people's relatives who are still concubines, he endured it and did not kill them.
Ye Qian really didn't know what this uncle's family had done to make King Yu so angry, but she trusted him the most, although he had a reputation for being arrogant and domineering, he was not an arrogant and unreasonable person, since he was angry, there was naturally a reason for him to be angry, "Since we have bad conduct, then let's stay away from them in the future." ”
"Qianqian sees them, don't pay attention to them."
Ye Qian nodded, "I heard my brother's words." ”
After a few days, His Royal Highness King Yu, who was "seriously ill", finally got better and went to the palace to see Emperor Wen.
"Father, it's good that you saved me, otherwise the sons and daughters would never see you again, but the second brother ......" King Yu sighed deeply.
Emperor Wen's eyes were red, described as haggard, and there were some abnormal flushes on his cheekbones, he was very sad these days, it was sad enough to lose a son, and what made him even more uncomfortable was that this son was likely to be killed by another son. When he ascended to the throne himself, he naturally went through a life-and-death struggle, but this does not mean that he can accept his son killing each other like this.
The eldest is from the queen, and he was established as the crown prince early, whether it is a successor or a chief, it is justified, and it is also to let the other sons die early and not embark on the bloody road of seizing the heir. The second child is sharp, often against the prince, he knows it, but this is what he is happy to see, after all, if you want to say that the emperor is the most jealous person, that is the prince, this is the case in all dynasties.
Every time he saw a minister currying favor with the prince, he felt that the prince was going to be the emperor in the future, but that was after his death. Now that he is still alive and well, some ministers can't wait to curry favor with the prince, you know, a prince's wings are too hard, and the threat to the throne is great. Therefore, he acquiesced to the fight between the second child and the prince, also to suppress the prince's power.
Unexpectedly, a festive and lively dragon boat race actually cost the life of the second child. The criminal department, Dali Temple, and the three legal divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were dispatched together to investigate the matter, and the cause of the second child's death was a blunt object blow on the temple, and he drowned in the water after being unconscious, and this blunt object blow, it is difficult to say what caused it, it may be that the second child's dragon boat was touched when it overturned, or it may be that the prince and King Kang's dragon boat collided when they rushed over, but even if the prince and King Kang collided, it cannot be said that they were intentional, because the two dragon boats were closely behind the second child at that time, and the speed of the dragon boat was very fast, and it really couldn't stop.
Emperor Wen sighed, and thought that if the fourth child couldn't come back, he would go on the field in person and have fun with his sons. In all fairness, if his dragon boat was behind the second child at that time, it would inevitably crash into it. The only thing that can be checked now is why the bottom of the second and fourth dragon boats cracked, these four dragon boats are all from the palace, and they must be checked from the palace.
"Father, although the second brother is gone, you must also take care of your health." King Yu glanced at Emperor Wen worriedly, "Fortunately, Erchen came back before the Dragon Boat Festival, otherwise, it would be my father who is on my dragon boat." As soon as Erchen thought that his father would fall into the water and be injured, he was afraid, and Erchen was extremely glad that he could replace his father on the dragon boat this time. ”
That's right, the black dragon boat should have been himself, and the one who fell into the water should have been himself, did the person who did it originally plan to get rid of himself and the second child together? Is it because the fourth child temporarily replaced himself, and the fourth child is a prince who has no threat, so he just fell into the water and did not die?
When Emperor Wen thought of this, he was terrified.
