Chapter Seventy-One: Xu Da's Disaster
At the end of the dinner, I touched my somewhat bulging belly and was about to rejuvenate the palace, but I was stopped by Aunt Lou in the corridor: "Princess Niangniang, the queen Niangniang summoned you, I am waiting for you in the Wenhua Hall at this time!" ”
"Thank you, Aunt Lou, for telling me, this palace is going now!" I don't know why the Queen summoned me so late, but I knew it must not be a trivial matter.
Along the way, the red lanterns and candles are set against each other, and the paths paved with bluestone slabs are also reflected in a fiery red color. The early summer night is exceptionally crisp, with crickets chirping and twinkling fireflies fluttering among the flowers. The breeze was gentle, with the fragrance of flowers, and the originally tired body became much lighter for a while.
Entering the Wenhua Palace, the queen was sitting on the throne waiting for me, I strolled forward and called softly: "Sons see the queen mother!" ”
"Le'er, here, come here, let this palace take a look!" The queen beckoned me to come forward with a worried face.
I obediently stepped forward and took the queen's hand, and the queen continued: "Those bandits are all arrogant people, you must have suffered a lot of grievances!" ”
"The queen mother can rest assured, the sons and daughters have not suffered any crimes, and His Royal Highness has rescued them in time!" I smiled slightly, I still have to advertise for Zhu Di if necessary, so as to make the queen happy, I have long seen that the queen is the most partial to Zhu Di.
"The fourth child has finally lived up to his responsibility, and he is okay these days!" When the queen heard my praise, her eyebrows and eyes rose.
"Well, I have grown a lot taller, and I am stronger, and I get along well with the soldiers in the army, and when I come back, I will take him to say hello to the queen mother, so that the queen mother will not worry!" I smiled and pinched the queen's shoulder, and said, I have to say the whole set.
"Finally, this fourth child didn't hurt the queen mother, and I heard that all the subordinates he led were outstanding?" The queen clapped my hand with joy.
"No, this Dragon Boat Festival, a dragon boat competition was also held in Fengyang, and His Royal Highness's team won beautifully!"
"Sounds good!"
After listening to this, the queen pulled me over, I squatted down opposite her, she took a closer look and suddenly said "Huh", and then said in surprise: "Le'er, what's the matter with your face?" "I reached out and touched my face, but the scars on my face were almost invisible, mainly on my wrists and legs.
"This is the day I accidentally fell while riding a horse! Let the queen mother worry, the son is no longer in the way! ”
"You kid, why are you so careless, where are you falling?" The queen anxiously surveyed me. I smiled brightly and said, "No, it's okay everywhere else, don't worry!" ”
Anyway, she couldn't see it with so many clothes on her body.
"Well, Le'er, it's about your father that I called you today!" Not long after the queen put her mind at ease, her expression became solemn again.
My father, Xu Da's father? What happened to him? I knew it wasn't a small thing.
In the matter, Chen Wenhui mentioned Liu Ji and Xu Dazhi in a recital, saying: "Looking at Xiao He and Han Xin, how different are their doubts? The queen suddenly wrinkled her eyebrows and said.
I was stunned, what does this sentence mean? I don't understand it, but what I do know is: This person named Chen Wenhui participated in my Xu Da's father's copy.
"Queen Mother, what are you talking about!" I stared at the queen with wide eyes.
"The queen mother knows that Wei Guogong has always been loyal, but the power of heaven is unpredictable, and the emperor will believe it if he can't keep it!" The queen frowned.
Is that really serious? I looked at the queen anxiously, and the queen sighed slightly and said: "In the past few years, the emperor has killed many ministers, and the queen mother really doesn't want it, and the Duke of Wei has also suffered this catastrophe......"
Is it really that serious? I panicked all of a sudden: "So what to do?" I'm going to beg the emperor! ”
"Wrong, if you go to ask the emperor now, won't it confirm that Wei Guogong really has bad intentions? The most important thing at the moment is to let Wei Guogong know the current situation! The Empress Yaoyao nodded.
"Oh, I see, I'll do it!"
"Wait, wait, it's getting late, at this moment, the Wei Mansion is estimated to have been secretly ambushed by Jinyiwei, just waiting to grab the handle! Everything has to be done tomorrow! "As soon as the queen said this, I suddenly became two heads and two big. This Zhu Yuanzhang is notoriously ruthless, killing people is as simple as cutting vegetables, the bigger the official, the more clean he kills. I vaguely remember the tragedy of Hu Weiyong recorded in history, and it is said that countless people died! In case Xu Da's father is caught, will the Xu family still have a job?
I can't imagine that maybe tonight will be another sleepless night.
Returning to the Chunhe Hall full of worries, Mama Liu had already prepared a hot person for me to bathe, and I thanked gratefully: "Thank you, Mama!" ”
"Niangniang, this is what the old slave should do! I heard that Niangniang suffered a lot in Fengyang, and the old slave was worried for a long time, and this time she was able to come back safely, all thanks to God's blessing! Mama Liu helped me sprinkle the petals and said sincerely.
Listening to these words warmed my heart, I couldn't help but look at Mama Liu more carefully. Although it has not been with me for a long time, it makes me feel at ease, I know that the people in the palace can not be trusted easily, although I do not fully trust her, but I still have a bottom on her in my heart.
"Mama, it's not early, you go and rest, Xu Qi can come alone!" I took off my clothes and stepped into the bath, feeling the moment the hot water overflowed my body, my whole body was comfortable.
"Miss, do you have something on your mind? Is it because of the summons of the queen mother? Xu Qi asked with some concern after watching Mama Liu leave.
I wrinkled my eyebrows and raised my eyes to look at Xu Qi, and said in a low voice: "In the matter, Chen Wenhui played my father in front of the emperor and said: "Looking at Xiao He and Han Xin, their dangers are very different!" ”
"Bang" Xu Qi's hand holding the towel suddenly fell into the water, and then said in a hurry: "How is that good?" The emperor can't listen to these things the most! ”
"What the hell does that mean?" I looked at Xu Qi's expression and became more and more anxious.
"Admiral Taiyin counts, isn't that what you're talking about our grandfather?"
I listened to Xu Qi's explanation, and I didn't need to cover my head, although I haven't seen Zhu Yuanzhang's brutality, but I've heard a lot in history, those meritorious people were all eliminated by him one after another after he ascended to the throne, only my Xu Da's father is outside, I really hope this is just a false alarm.
"The emperor still trusts his father, and it should be fine!" I picked up a petal and said comfortingly.
The two of them were silent, I had better not have the heart to use the shower gel again, and got up and took out the few thousand-year-old ginseng that Zhu Di gave me in Fengyang.
"Xu Qi, early tomorrow morning, let's go to the Wei State Mansion!" After thinking about it, I decided to go for a trip, not afraid of 10,000, just in case!
"Yes, Miss!" Xu Qi finally seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
