Chapter 67: An Unexpected Marriage
It's already spring, the weather is still very cold, Chishui also had a heavy snowfall a few days ago, the snow on the eaves has not yet melted covered a large area of green glazed tiles, crystal snow foam shining in the clear sun.
In the Guangming Hall of the palace, Wei Zong closed his eyes slightly, his face was sallow, he was lying on the dragon couch sickly, kneeling in front of the couch for a circle of panicked imperial doctors, the prince Lin Yunzheng has been sleeping for three days, at this moment he looked at the hospital sentence Imperial Doctor Li with some impatience, and reprimanded sharply: "Imperial Doctor Li, tell the truth to this prince, what kind of illness did my father have? It's been three days, why hasn't it improved?"
Imperial Physician Li's fat figure trembled for a moment, and he said: "The emperor's illness is strange, Xu Yes, Xu is the invasion of evil qi that caused convulsions and high fever!"
"Bastard!" Lin Yunzheng angrily reprimanded, "What is the invasion of evil spirits? You are a judge of a dignified hospital, and you can actually say such ridiculous words, it is ridiculous!"
"Minister, minister go to check the emperor's pulse again!" Imperial Doctor Li was so frightened that his face changed, and he was a little incoherent!
"No need, remember, if anyone publicizes the affairs of his father, this prince will kill him alive..."Lin Yunzheng's face was fierce, and he roared at the top of his voice.
The imperial doctors bowed their waists one by one, and retreated resignedly, Lin Yunzheng lost his spirit like a frosted eggplant, and sat on the chair, panting.
"Prince,... Jin Gonggong's eyes were dripping and rolling, and he sneered slyly: "In fact, after the emperor took the aphrodisiac medicine paid by the prince a few days ago, he was very excited day and night, and the golden gun did not fall, and there were dozens of women in one day, and even, a few weak people were all killed, according to the old slave, most of them were in deficit!"
Lin Yunzheng's face stiffened when he heard this, he jumped up from his chair, gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! Are you saying that my father's illness is all because of the pill sent by this prince? You are trying to set up a blame!"
Father-in-law Jin smiled, his small eyes were squeezed into the horizontal flesh of his face, but he was not afraid at all, "Alas, the prince has really wronged the old slave, and the old slave is just guessing, after all, the emperor has been greedy for women in recent years, and his body has long been decayed and empty." ”
Wei Zong's physical condition, Lin Yunzheng knows better than anyone else, otherwise when those imperial doctors go out, he will not intimidate and threaten, but he doesn't want to be pinched by the big eunuch next to his father.
He has been hiding for so many years, and he must not be cut off by a eunuch, although he is annoyed and unconvinced, he still decides to take care of his overall situation.
"So far, what is the best plan for Gonggong Jin?" he asked with a smile.
Gonggong Jin turned his head to look at Wei Zong, who was unconscious on the dragon couch, and his voice was like a mosquito fly: "The emperor is like this, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, if His Royal Highness the Third Highness knows, he will definitely be unable to bear it, the prince might as well strike first!"
Lin Yunzheng frowned deeply, stared at Gonggong Jin coldly, and said with a smile: "As far as this prince knows, Gonggong Jin is very close to the second brother, what do you want to persuade this prince to strike first?"
Gonggong Jin was stunned for a moment, his mind moved slightly, and he grinned: "Prince, you also know that His Royal Highness is now a wasted person, and he can't even be a normal man, so how can he be the king of a country, there is a way: good birds choose trees to perch, virtuous ministers choose masters to serve, and old slaves are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light! It depends on whether the prince is willing or not?"
Lin Yunzheng pondered for a long time, and simply said directly, "The only one who can compete with this prince is the third brother, he has been missing for more than a month now, and he is not allowed to die outside, what is the trouble now?"
Gonggong Jin shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't be deceived by the Third Highness, although he is raised outside the palace, the power behind him is indeed not to be underestimated, and there are not a few henchmen who secretly support him in the court!"
"Father-in-law can tell me the good plan and listen to it! Don't worry, this prince is by no means the one who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge! After the matter is completed, you are still the chief eunuch, and you still enjoy endless glory and wealth!!" Lin Yunzheng's eyes silently crossed a trace of calculation.
Jin Gonggong walked closer, muttered in Lin Yunzheng's ear for a long time, and inadvertently saw the fear and helplessness on the prince's face, he secretly mocked in his heart, this cowardly temperament is not even and is played with by him like Weizong.
"This, if this is discovered, it will be a crime of deception!" Lin Yunzheng's face turned pale, and he said hesitantly.
If the emperor never wakes up, he will never know. Lin Yunzheng was stunned by Gonggong Jin's rebellious words, and the coldness at the corner of his mouth disappeared slightly, he just wanted Gonggong Jin's remarks that were enough to destroy the nine clans, and no one wanted to stay out of it!
Jin Gonggong said contemptuously: "All dynasties and dynasties are on this dragon chair, I don't know how much blood and lives of those who are vying for the throne, if the prince wants to inherit the unification smoothly, the first thing to do is to disintegrate the power of the three princes and eradicate their henchmen, only in this way can the prince rest easy and unimpeded!"
Lin Yunzheng secretly said in a frightened manner, "It is worthy of being the chief eunuch beside my father, and it is really tricky!" He gritted his teeth fiercely, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he also let it go.
"Just do what my father-in-law says!" Lin Yunzheng's smile was mixed with an unknown coldness.
Jin Gonggong put his hand behind his back, and said arrogantly, "The relationship between Shangguan Qingqing and the third prince is not ordinary, and it is most suitable for him to start, but the Prime Minister's Mansion is in dire straits at this time, and others are afraid to avoid it. ”
Lin Yunzheng said indifferently: "There is Father-in-law Lao!"
"Helping the prince is also helping the old slave himself, the prince should hurry up and prepare, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" Jin Gonggong urged, his slightly narrowed eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light.
The northwest corner of the palace is Cuiwei Palace, where all the young and beautiful maids who are waiting for the emperor's fortune live. The wings in the palace are all arranged in the same way, there is a dark, damp and cold wing room in the corner, and the brazier is burning in the room, and it is still cold.
In the half-closed door, a woman sat under the lattice of the candle-lit window, she simply pulled her hair in a bun, and looked at the inky sky outside through the open window with a sad face, which one is not Han Nuanzhi?
The candle flame in the house was blown by the cold wind, she put on a thick cloak, and secretly thought to herself, she had been taken into a desolate place where birds don't for two months by the palace people, and no one cared about it, let alone asked.
She lamented bitterly: Is she just waiting like those women in this dark place? Waiting for the emperor who is older than her father to come and be glad for her? Or is it just like this, and she is slowly boiling up her flower-like years?
She cursed unwillingly, the door sounded, and the maid Xiaocui hurriedly walked in, she rubbed her frozen hands, and said excitedly: "Miss, Miss, your hard days are coming to an end, the slave maid just heard the little eunuch in front of the emperor say that the emperor has given you to Shangguan Qingqing, the concubine of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, as a wife!"
Han Nuanzhi's mouth opened wide in shock, and it took a long time to react, and she asked in a surprised voice: "Yes, is it true? I won't die in the palace, great!"
"It's good, but the slave maid also heard that the concubine of the prime minister's mansion has a hidden disease, can't speak, and is a dumb person!" Xiao Cui didn't dare to look at the shattered hope in Han Nuanzhi's eyes, and said cautiously.
Xiao Cui's words were like a basin of cold water that poured her heart cold, and she fell from the sky to the ground at once, her gorgeous face distorted together, tangled and painful.
After a while, she raised her eyes, no matter how she said that she was also a wife, no matter how she said it, she was also out of this deep palace grudge, God had already treated her well, she couldn't ask for anything else!
