Chapter 275: Rong Cheng's Strange Illness
"Back to Your Majesty's words, no. ”
After Yan Xi calmly answered, he seemed to realize something, and looked at Rong Cheng in disbelief: "What does Your Majesty mean by this?"
"Just ask. Rong Cheng got up and said, "I'll go to the imperial study first." ”
After Rong Cheng left, Asa and the others walked in, and Asa said tentatively: "Niangniang, why did Your Majesty leave so quickly!"
"How do I know? Asa, I always feel that His Majesty is suspicious of me, it is simply inexplicable!"
"No, it's probably because the mother is too careful. Asa said, but a smug smile flashed in his eyes.
It seems that His Majesty is suspicious of Wan Yan Xi, so good, the Khan can say, as long as this emperor does not notice their actions, it is to let Wan Yan Xi be a scapegoat, so what?
......
After Rong Cheng went back, Xu realized that he shouldn't have wronged Wan Yanxi in vain, and often called her to accompany him these days, except that he hadn't touched her, other places were also considered benevolent and righteous, on the surface, Wan Yanxi seemed to be very favored, and Rong Cheng even said a lot of things to her about the DPRK.
But looking back, Rong Cheng and Yan Xi said it, but they were all inquired by Asa.
The simple Wan Yanxi has never been suspicious of Asa who has grown up together since childhood, and rarely hides anything from Assa.
On this day, Rong Cheng told Wan Yan Xi that three days later, he was going to go hunting in the woods in the suburbs with a few of his men, and he should be distracted.
Three days later, Rong Cheng really left the palace with seven or eight masters.
On the way there, one of his subordinates was puzzled: "Your Majesty, isn't there very little prey in that woods on the outskirts?
"You'll find out when you go!"
The subordinates didn't say much, and followed Rong Cheng to the woods on the outskirts of Beijing, and the group turned around for a while, only hitting two hares.
How could the subordinates have ever hunted this kind of nest, just when the subordinates didn't understand what medicine was sold in Rong Cheng's gourd, among the weeds around the woods, dozens of black-clothed people suddenly appeared, raised the sword in their hands and stabbed at Rong Cheng. The subordinates were shocked.
"There are assassins!!!Protect Your Majesty!!"
Rong Cheng himself is extremely skilled, where is it so easy to be assassinated?
After wrestling with those people for a while, Rong Cheng suddenly said, "Come out!!"
Listening to his order, a team of men and horses came not far away, and immediately surrounded these black-clothed people, and easily captured this group.
Rong Cheng stepped forward with a cold face, and said in an unkind tone: "Who sent you?"
The men in black glanced at each other, and in the next second, they all bit the poison in their mouths and committed suicide.
Rong Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, even if these people didn't say anything, he knew who sent it!
He told Wan Yanxi about this in advance, but Rong Cheng didn't believe it, it was Wan Yanxi who did it.
The only possibility is the people around her!!
Rong Cheng said to his subordinates: "Today, I am not allowed to say anything about the people I planted here, only that these people were killed by a few of you!"
"Yes!"
After Rong Cheng finished speaking, he raised his sword, made two cuts on his arm, and after returning to the palace, he invited the imperial doctor.
After Yan Xi learned that Rong Cheng was assassinated in the suburbs, she was worried about coming to see him, but Rong Cheng refused her to visit. After the wound was bandaged, he took the initiative to go to Changxin Palace.
Wan Yanxi learned that he was coming, frowned and said, "How could you be assassinated? It's okay, right?" The words were full of the woman's concern for her husband, shocked by the relationship over the past few days, Wan Yanxi already thought that Rong Cheng had begun to accept her.
"It's just a small injury!"
Wan Yanxi frowned and said, "Since it's a minor injury, why don't you let me go to see you?!"
Rong Cheng looked at her and suddenly sneered: "It seems that I only told Concubine Ai about going hunting in the suburbs this time. ”
"What do you mean?!" Wan Yanxi is not a fool, hearing the words, he reacted almost instantaneously to his meaning, and couldn't help but be furious: "Could it be that I will reveal the news?!"
"Those assassins have been lying in ambush there for a long time, isn't there anyone else who else can have them?!"
Rong Cheng said, quietly glanced at Asa, and saw a flash of color in Assa's eyes.
sighed silently in his heart, Rong Chengwei really felt a little sympathetic to Wan Yan Xilai. It's just that sympathy is sympathy, and he still said mercilessly on his face: "It's a shame that I trust you so much, you actually betrayed me!! For the sake of your Khitan face, I spared you this time, and you will be locked up in Changxin Palace for three months!"
Wan Yan Xi's face turned red, she hated someone wronging her the most on weekdays, not to mention that this person was Rong Cheng, she was worried about death because of his assassination, who knew that it was indeed such a question, Wan Yan Xi couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.
However, where does Rong Cheng care about her, her father and clansmen have abandoned her, Rong Cheng doesn't let her get involved in these things, and is also ready to protect her once, she owes Yun Qing, wait for Yun Qing to be arrested!
Rong Cheng is like this, he is already benevolent and righteous, as for Wan Yanxi being angry and wronged, he doesn't need to care about this. Except for what Yun Qing was thinking in his heart, other people's, he had always been businesslike, and Rong Cheng didn't care.
It's a pity that he seems to have made Yun Qing's heart sad, thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on Rong Cheng's lips.
What the queen mother said before her death was true, as a child of the royal family, it is the most troublesome thing to be tempted by women.
But he doesn't regret it, he just wants to catch Yunqing back now!!
After Yan Xi was confined, Asa had no way to continue to report to Prince Rong. It also stopped for a while. But the trouble is still not over. Rong Cheng sent spies to inquire, and the Khitan contacted several small countries around it, if it really started, even if it was sure to win, I was afraid that it would cost a lot of troops.
Rong Cheng is naturally not afraid of them, but it is best if he does not go to war, after all, the war is big, and it is the people who are involved.
Rong Cheng thought of many countermeasures, but they were all vetoed one by one, and Yuan Qi on the side saw it, and boldly interjected: "If Your Majesty is embarrassed, why not, why not use Concubine Xi as a threat?"
Rong Cheng hadn't thought about this, and he didn't blame Yuan Qi for being rude when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "If you really want to fight, how many chips do you think Concubine Xi's life can be worth?"
Yuan Qi didn't answer, he looked stupid on the surface, but after all, he had been serving Rong Cheng for so many years, how could he not see that the Khitan had already given up on Concubine Xi when he sent her over.
"Your Majesty, what should I do then?"
"What should I do? them!" Rong Cheng knew that this war could not be avoided!
"Yuan Qi, go, pass the new general and the squire of the military department into the palace!"
......
Rong Cheng and the ministers discussed in the imperial study until midnight, and after returning to the store, the palace maid had already prepared hot water. Rong Cheng entered the bathtub and soaked in warm water to wash away the fatigue of the day.
When I went back to bed alone, I couldn't sleep anymore.
Ever since Yun Qing left, he often couldn't sleep, even though he was exhausted from the day's work.
Rong Cheng fell asleep in the second half of the night, and the next day, before dawn, he got up.
He lived a busy and fulfilling life every day, nothing but as if he was missing something, and when the morning was over, Rong Cheng called the minister he assigned to be responsible for looking for Yunqing among the people, and frowned: "Is there any news?"
"Back to Your Majesty's words, not yet. ”
Rong Cheng's face was ugly, and several ministers trembled and didn't dare to say more: "What's the matter? It's just a person, I haven't been able to find it after looking for so long!"
The military department Shangshu said: "The subordinates of the minister have tried their best, in order to find Niangniang, and even disguised themselves as ordinary people and mixed with the people for several months, but we really don't know, where Niangniang fled to, even if she is looking for no goal!"
Rong Cheng naturally knew that the people were looking for people, and Yun Qing still intended to hide, which was equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack, and he was really embarrassed: "Keep looking, and check the places you have searched!"
He didn't believe it, Yunqing could still escape to the edge of the sky!!
The ministers wanted to say, but if they really couldn't find it, they were just a palace concubine, so why bother? But looking at His Majesty's gloomy face, no one dared to say anything. They still can't forget when Niangniang just fled, His Majesty arrested the palace people one by one for interrogation, and these ministers couldn't find news of Niangniang every time, and how they trembled every time they returned to their lives.
After the ministers were ordered to retreat, Rong Cheng was a little unstable, and shook from side to side, and Yuan Qi immediately stepped forward to support him: "What's the matter, Your Majesty? Oh, why is your face red? ”
When the imperial doctor came to take a look, it turned out that Rong Cheng had a lot of thoughts, and he often stayed up late and caught a cold, and he had something hidden in his heart.
Rong Cheng's illness came to a big one, and it actually burned. but refused to allow any palace concubine to come to visit.
Yuan Qi couldn't help but feel a little strange at Yun Qinglai, this Yun Concubine Niangniang really doesn't know what to do!!Where did Your Majesty lose her?
What's wrong with losing a child? How many women in the harem have lost their children! Your Majesty coaxed and spoiled her to let her lose her temper, caught between the Khitan and her, and even began to prepare to make her the queen, what is she not satisfied with? How many women in the world can have this kind of honor?
What Yun Qing wanted, Yuan Qi couldn't figure it out no matter what.
......
After Rong Cheng was ill for a few days, he suddenly called the imperial doctor and announced that he had a strange disease, and for a while, the people in the government and the opposition were panicked.
Your Majesty is fine, how can you get a strange disease?
After about a month, the news that His Majesty was sick spread out, and Rong Cheng called several ministers to the sickbed to order any important things.
Prince Rong finally couldn't bear it anymore, and ordered the minister to admonish Rong Cheng and let Prince Rong act as the ruler of the court.
At first, Rong Cheng naturally disagreed, but later Xu compromised and ordered Prince Rong to act as the ruler of the court.
Prince Rong took Rong Cheng's first early dynasty, and sat in that position for the first time in his life. The face is calm, but in fact, the heart is excited.
After going down to the court, Prince Rong found the concubine and said excitedly: "Mother, the day of the son's rise has finally come." ”
Concubine Yue glanced at her son with an excited face, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, still a little uneasy on her face: "Your Majesty's illness is strange, you better be careful." ”
"Erchen has bribed the people from the Tai Hospital, and I have inquired, and His Majesty is indeed sick. This is the opportunity that God has given to his son!!" The more Prince Rong spoke, the more he couldn't restrain the excitement in his eyes: "Your Majesty has no children under his knees, if there is really a chance this time, isn't this throne the son's?"
Concubine Yue is still a little uneasy, to put it mildly, over the years, when has her son succeeded?
It is also strange to say, Prince Rong is obviously a leader among people in all aspects, and he is obviously very good, but he was pressed by His Majesty.
No wonder he's so excited.
"But ......"
"Mother Concubine!" Concubine Yue's distrustful attitude made Prince Rong a little annoyed: "You believe me this time, this is the best time for our mother and son to turn over, is it possible, do you want to be crushed by the Queen Mother for the rest of your life?"
Concubine Yue had already seen through these things, and although Prince Rong didn't like to hear it, she still said, "...... But aren't you afraid that Your Majesty is pretending?"
"My son has his own countermeasures!"
Now, to be precise, he has been in contact with the Khitans a long time ago, and Concubine Yue has taken care of it, and Prince Rong, who is ambitious about the wolf, can't do it.
What if Rong Cheng didn't pretend to be sick this time, he allowed Rong Cheng to turn over completely!!
After saying a few words to Concubine Tongyue, Prince Rong went to the imperial study and issued a decree to spread the news that His Majesty had a strange illness, so that everyone knew in advance that he would be the one who would manage the government in the future, Prince Rong!
In addition, Prince Rong sent someone to Khitan to deliver a letter by the way. The letter made the current situation clear.
He was not afraid of the Khitan rebellion, but was worried that if Rong Cheng really pretended to be sick, he would let the greedy Khitans help him deal with Rong Cheng together, and Prince Rong was sure to clean up the Khitans.
The premise, of course, is that there will be wars and many soldiers will die.
But so what? As long as he can complete his hegemony, how many people will die?
The news that His Majesty was dying soon spread among the people, and some merchants in the past even regarded this matter as idle talk and spread it all over the south of the Yangtze River.
When the news reached Yun Qing's ears, Yun Qing was by the lake, washing clothes with a few local girls, and the girls were chatting on the side, chatting happily, Yun Qing also said a few words to them at first, and then they talked about the husband who was going to marry in the future, and the conversation was full of beautiful fantasies of little women.
Yun Qing passed that stage, and he didn't have a common language with them, so he silently squatted aside to wash his clothes.
I happened to hear that they had finished talking about the shame of their daughter's family, and when they got to Beijing, I heard someone say, I heard that Your Majesty is dying now, and the government affairs of the DPRK and China are represented by Prince Rong, and I don't know if it's true......
When Yun Qing heard this, the mallet in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
