It seems that since Yun Yao went to Jianzhang Palace, Rong Ya has become restless, and she refuses to drink even the soothing soup prescribed by the imperial doctor, saying that she wants to wait for Yun Yao to come back.
The other palace people in the Hehuan Hall didn't know what was going on, they just thought that the little queen was too dependent on Yun Yao, so they were so restless, and they didn't know at all that it was because Yun Yao was likely to never return.
And at this time, Yun Yao stepped into the palace gate of the Hehuan Palace, walked towards the main hall, and saw Rong Ya nervously turning in circles, her heart was hot, and then she spoke:
"Queen Mother, the weather is already hot, aren't you even hotter like this?"
Hearing Yun Yao's voice, Rong Yacai turned around excitedly, looked at Yun Yao who was standing at the door of the hall, and let go of the heart that had been hanging.
"Mama Qi, where is the soothing soup? Rong Ya suddenly became happy, and hurriedly turned her head to order, not to mention how happy she was in her heart.
Soon, Mama Qi brought the soothing soup to Rong Ya, and drank it under Yun Yao's service, and the whole person felt a lot more comfortable.
After drinking the soothing soup, Yun Yao helped Rong Ya to the inner hall, Rong Ya said that she was a little tired and wanted to rest, but she was so hot that she couldn't sleep.
Yun Yao looked at the sun outside, it was indeed hot, but Rong Ya was young and couldn't resist such a hot day, so she still had to find a way.
So, Yun Yao sent someone to the cellar of the Internal Affairs Mansion to bring a few pieces of ice, then put them in a basin and put them on the side of Rong Ya's bed.
Rong Ya took off her outer palace clothes and lay on the bed with only her underwear, while Yun Yao asked several palace maids to stand on the side of the ice cube and fan Rong Ya with fans.
The ice cube was placed in the middle of the palace maid and the bed, and the palace maid used a fan to fan the wind, passing through the ice cube, bringing a burst of coolness, directly towards Rong Ya on the bed.
Rong Ya lay quietly on the bed, her eyes closed, and suddenly she only felt a cool breeze blowing on her face, her whole body was refreshed, and the heat on her body was also reduced a lot, and then slowly fell asleep.
Yun Yao sat on the edge of the bed, holding the palace fan in her hand, and slowly fanned Rong Ya, she knew that Rong Ya was indeed tired today, because she pretended to be sick in the morning, which took a lot of effort, and she had to hide it from most of the people in the Hehuan Palace, and she had to hide the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, so she really acted enough.
After pondering for a while, Yun Yao remembered that the two palace maids and the so-called Sal Mage who were implicated in the witchcraft were still locked up in the Hehuan Palace, so she walked out lightly and asked Father-in-law Qian to lead someone to send Chenxi and Rui'er to Langyue Pavilion and Yongxiang respectively, and then send Mage Sal to Changming Palace and hand them over to the emperor for disposal.
At this time in Changming Palace, Shen Ze was anxiously waiting, waiting for Lu Yingquan to come back, and he was worried in his heart, afraid that Lu Yingquan would leak his mouth from the Queen Mother and reveal some clues.
But fortunately, his anxiety didn't last long, Lu Yingquan came back, and told Shen Ze everything about Yun Yao's words and what she experienced in Jianzhang Palace, and finally expressed these two meanings:
First, the flood in the south must be dealt with by Yang Yushi, but among the entourage, there must be a confidant who is respected and completely trusted by the emperor to take Yang Yushi's position at a critical moment; second, it is imperative for Ji'an County to move to Yiguo, but it is necessary to prevent the Empress Dowager's people from secretly acting and disturbing the peace of Yiguo.
Shen Ze didn't expect that on the surface, this seemingly a scene of harem concubines fighting each other because of jealousy was actually made by Yun Yao to be involved with the court, and it was beneficial to him everywhere.
"The Queen Mother doesn't know about this, right?" Shen Ze was still worried in his heart, and then asked.
"Please rest assured, Yun Yao and I said basically the same thing in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will not doubt it. Lu Yingquan said, "It's just that the emperor, the queen mother can make a lot of efforts for this matter, although she is the daughter of Princess Ningyuan and the blood of the Qin family, but her heart is still towards you." ”
"I know. Shen Ze said, "In the future, I will slowly compensate her." ”
After saying this, Shen Ze sat on the dragon chair, looked at the bright yellow blank scroll spread out in front of him, thought slightly in his heart, and then took up the pen and wrote the holy decree and covered it with the jade seal.
In the early morning, in the morning, the emperor asked Father-in-law Luo to read the holy decree -
Yang Hao, the imperial historian, was appointed as an inspector to go to the south to deal with the floods in the south from now on; Taicang ordered Sun Hui to be the deputy inspector to assist and assist Yang Yushi in controlling the floods; and the general Gu Qingming accompanied him with the emperor's order, and in the event of a riot among the people, the people mutinied, causing turmoil and unrest, and so on, he could mobilize troops to suppress it as appropriate.
The flood control plan is mainly based on dredging, and strives to be in place once and for all. The specific situation will be arranged as appropriate after arriving in Ji'an County.
The above is all the content of the holy decree, and Yang Hao, Sun Hui and Gu Qingming, the moment they received it, stepped forward, received the decree in unison, and promised to live up to the emperor's trust.
After the early court, Shen Ze called Yang Yushi, Sun Taicang Ling and General Gu to Changming Palace to explain the specific matters, including the transfer of the treasury and silver, the detailed arrangements for disaster relief, etc., all of which were put in place one by one, and then let them go, but still left Gu Qingming alone.
"Gu Qing's family, let's come to Changming Palace at night as usual. After the Chinese man left, he opened his mouth and said to Gu Qingming.
"But the emperor, early tomorrow morning, Weichen will leave the capital......" Gu Qingming just opened his mouth to speak, but when he saw Lu Yingquan standing behind Shen Ze and laughing, he suddenly understood something in his heart.
Immediately, Gu Qingming clasped his hands into fists, and said to Shen Ze with gratitude in his eyes: "Weichen obeyed the order, thank you to the emperor." ”
After saying this, Shen Ze didn't leave Qingming any longer, but asked him to hurry back and pack his things and free up the time for the night.
Gu Qingming also left in good spirits, and in his heart, he was already looking forward to the arrival of the evening.
The sky was also getting darker, and when the list of people sent by Shen Ze to control the water in the south was passed to the harem along with the holy decree, Yun Yao was planning to have dinner.
She knew that it was imperative for Yang Yushi to go to the south, and she also knew that this Taicang Ling Sun Hui was the emperor's trustworthy person, but she didn't expect that Gu Qingming would also follow.
Although she knew that Gu Qingming was a general on the battlefield, and she also knew that Gu Qingming was brave and invincible, but when she heard the news, she couldn't help but worry about him.
After all, this time, no one knew what kind of killing move Zhou Taichang had arranged to deal with Yang Yushi. In addition, the mood of the victims is unstable, but they can't fight the victims like enemies, which will make Gu Qingming in a dilemma. Actually, it's not an easy job.
But now that the overall situation has been decided, she can only silently pray for Gu Qingming, praying that he can be safe and sound in the south.
After dinner, the moon is sparse.
The summer night in mid-July is still very hot, but what is better than the day is that there is an occasional cool breeze in the evening, bringing a chill.
Yun Yao waited for Rong Ya to bathe and change her clothes, got rid of the sweat that had plagued her for a day, and was about to coax Rong Ya to sleep, but an uninvited guest came to the Hehuan Hall - Luo Gonggong.
Because Rong Ya's appearance had not been sorted out yet, it was inconvenient to summon her, so Yun Yao went out first, gave Gonggong Luo a look, and then asked, "I don't know if Gonggong Luo is so late, is there anything wrong with going to Hehuan Palace?"
"Miss Yun, our family was ordered by the emperor to invite the queen to Changming Palace for a while. Luo Song said to Yun Yao.
"The emperor summoned the queen mother so late?" Yun Yao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Please also ask my father-in-law to rest for a while, and I will wait for the queen to change her clothes." ”
After speaking, Yun Yao entered the inner hall and found a suitable set of palace clothes for Rong Ya to change into.
"Sister Yun Yao, don't you have to go to bed, why are you still dressed?" asked Rong Ya.
"The emperor summoned the queen mother to Changming Palace. Yun Yao said, "Queen Mother, maybe you will rest in Changming Palace tonight." ”
Yun Yao didn't know what the emperor was suddenly summoning, but simply thought that the emperor wanted to spoil the queen. After all, the queen mother is also the hero of this incident, without the queen's cooperation, Yun Yao's plan would not have been so successful.
Soon, Rong Ya finished dressing up again, and under Yun Yao's service, she headed towards Changming Palace.
It was not only Yun Yao who accompanied Rong Ya, but also two girls, Bamboo Branch and Chrysanthemum Leaf, who carried lanterns in front of them diagonally to light the way forward for Rong Ya.
Yun Yao was afraid that Rong Ya would sweat if she walked too fast, so she walked slowly on the road, and it took a long time to reach Changming Palace and enter the inner hall.
When Yun Yao helped Rong Ya into the inner hall, Gonggong Luo stretched out his hand, stopped the bamboo branches and chrysanthemum leaves, and said: "The emperor is inside, just let Yun Shao make one person to serve Niangniang, and you are guarding outside." ”
"Yes, Grandpa Luo. The bamboo branch and the chrysanthemum leaf answered, and stood at the door of the hall with Luo Song, guarding in an orderly manner.
After Yun Yao and Rong Ya entered, the first thing they saw was Lu Yingquan, Lu Yingquan did not speak, but put his index finger to his lips and made a silent gesture, signaling Yun Yao and Rong Ya not to speak.
It wasn't until he entered the inner hall and saw the dragon bed and Shen Ze sitting at the table that Rong Ya asked:
"Cousin Emperor, what are you asking me to do here?"
"Ya'er, come here. Shen Ze beckoned to Rong Ya and said, "I remember that you like to eat almond crisp the most, and here is the imperial dining room that has just been prepared, you can come and taste it." ”
As soon as Rong Ya heard that there was something delicious, she immediately ran over happily, sat in front of Shen Ze, took the pastries on the table, and began to feast on them, with a satisfied face.
Yun Yao looked at this scene, and was still a little confused, but saw a black shadow flashing on the lattice of the back window, and then there was one more person in the room, it was Gu Qingming.
Rong Ya, who was eating, made a sound in some surprise, but because the almond crisp blocked her mouth, the sound was not very loud, and no one outside heard it.
"Queen Mother, in the room over there, the emperor has prepared a lot of delicious food for you, can the slave take you over?" Lu Yingquan opened his mouth at this time and said to Rong Ya.
Rong Ya looked at Yun Yao, then at Shen Ze, and finally at Gu Qingming, and didn't know if she understood what was going on, but she smiled at Yun Yao, then got up, took Lu Yingquan's hand, and walked towards another room.
