Chapter 80: Acting
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing." After reporting on Chu Dingguo's affairs, Li Baoquan remembered something again, which should have been reported a long time ago, but he had been running outside in the morning, and the emperor was receiving foreign ministers, so he couldn't find the opportunity.
"After the morning recess, Chen Ge came once, but was rejected by the servants on the grounds that His Majesty's dragon body was not good and he could not see the guests. But listening to the meaning of Chen Gelao's mouth, I'm afraid I will come again later today. ”
There are still three days left before the engagement ceremony, but the Chen family suddenly lost the position of queen, and Chen Yuansi, the old guy, finally couldn't sit still.
"Chen Ge has always been calm, it seems that he is really in a hurry this time." Ye Qianhuai turned the chopsticks pillow on the table with one hand and said unhurriedly.
"Auntie, let the people in the palace share these meals." Ye Tianhuai rinsed his mouth, wiped his mouth and stood up, and commanded, "I am sick and weak, and I have lost my appetite, so I haven't eaten a bite of food today." ”
After saying that, she left the table with a grim face.
Behind her, Aunt Fanghua and the two palace maids lowered their eyes and curtsy, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your favor." ”
——
When the sun was setting in the west, Chen Yuansi really arrived as scheduled.
The windows and doors in the Qinxian Hall are closed, the golden silk smoker is lit with the best ambergris, Ye Tianhuai is only wearing a thick white middle coat and leaning weakly on the bright yellow couch, and there is a blue glazed medicine bowl on the table of the dragon couch, and there are still some medicinal residues left at the bottom of the bowl.
Ye Tianhuai hung one arm, leaning on the cushion behind him, his face was pale, and it seemed that it was very difficult to raise his eyes.
Chen Yuansi saw Ye Tianhuai's appearance, his face paused briefly, and then he knelt on the ground with a trembling old bone, and cried bitterly with his swollen eyes: "Your Majesty wants to be the master of the old minister!" ”
"Chen Ge, don't be like this, get up and talk quickly." Ye Qianhuai's voice was so weak that she only had the sound of gas, she held on to the collapsed side as if she wanted to get up, but she didn't have the strength to stand up, so she could only raise her hand from a distance and motioned for Chen Yuansi to stand up.
Chen Yuansi was shocked, he thought that the emperor was just sad because of Concubine Lan's death, so he didn't want to see anyone, but he didn't expect that he would really be so sick overnight.
It looks even worse than his sixty-year-old man.
This picture suddenly reminded him of the appearance of Emperor Shunping eight years ago.
For a while, many thoughts flowed through his mind.
In his trance, Ye Qianhuai had slowly gotten down from the couch, she walked in front of Chen Yuansi, held his arm and wanted to pull him up, but her hand was soft and had no strength at all.
"Elder Chen Ge, I also want to be the master for you, but I am really difficult." Ye Tianhuai was half-hunched over, and his speech was mixed with heavy gasps, as if he was about to faint at any time.
Chen Yuansi came back to his senses, took Ye Tianhuai's arm and knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, the engagement ceremony is imminent, the Ministry of Rites has prepared a schedule, and the wedding dress and gifts have been sent to the house. ”
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and hid his face, as if he had no face to see anyone.
"Is that a change of heart?" Ye Tianhuai asked with a wry smile, "Elder Chen, you weren't there yesterday, but you should have heard that at that time, there were forbidden troops outside the Chengtian Gate who obeyed Gu Gelao's orders, and I only had one person and one sword, and I almost couldn't retreat with my whole body." Chen Ge Lao said that he was embarrassed, why shouldn't I be embarrassed? To put it mildly, Gu Ge Lao almost put his sword on my neck, not to mention a queen's position, even if Gu Ge Lao wanted me to take the Zen position, I didn't dare to say a 'no'. ”
In the end, Ye Qianhuai's eyes were also red, she coughed weakly twice, staggered a few steps, barely grabbed the tea case, sat firmly on the wooden chair on the side, hid her face and wept.
Chen Yuansi didn't expect the emperor to cry more aggrieved than himself, and it was useless for him to cry for a while, so he simply sighed heavily, comforted Ye Qianhuai and said, "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body." ”
Ye Tianhuai sobbed for a while before stopping, she raised her head to look at Chen Yuansi, and said: "Elder Chen Ge, it's just that the courtiers don't listen to me, the cabinet is always in charge of you, he Gu Shihai is afraid after all, and I can rest easy." But now this harem is full of his people, and the forbidden army dares to hurt me like this. ”
Ye Tianhuai said, pointing to his bandaged left shoulder.
"Next month, as soon as his daughter enters the Middle Palace, Chen Ge Lao, do you think I can sleep peacefully for a day?" Ye Tianhuai's words were full of resentment towards Gu Shihai who dared not speak angrily.
"Your Majesty, Gu Ge Lao's mind has not been a day or two, when His Majesty first ascended the throne, he newly renovated the mansion, and at that time, there was an incident that was reported to the cabinet."
Chen Yuansi said slowly: "The stone lions of ordinary people's homes are all stepping on hydrangeas, and only the stone lions in the palace are stepping on the Ding furnace, to show that Your Majesty is the lord of the nine tripods in the world." But when Gu Ge Lao built a new mansion, the stone lion outside the gate of his mansion stepped on the Ding furnace, if it wasn't for the Ministry of Industry to find out in time and impeachment on the table, his rebellious thoughts would really be known to passers-by. ”
This is the first time Ye Qianhuai has heard about this matter, thinking that she had just ascended the throne at that time, and she was not in power, so this matter did not come to her.
Chen Yuansi took out this matter at this time, just to imply that Ye Tian's ambition for Gu Shihai was far more than just a queen, and it was very likely that he had been planning for a long time.
"Your Majesty, the old minister said something you don't like to hear, you are too reckless in this incident of Chengtianmen. Your Majesty has no heirs, so how can you play with your own life like this? Chen Yuansi said bitterly.
He really never expected that the emperor would personally carry his sword out of the palace and single-handedly stop the forbidden army.
When he first heard the news, he was stunned for a while.
Chen Yuansi is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and he has never seen anything, but the fact that the emperor took the lead in rebellion is really unheard of.
What's more, in his impression, the emperor is just a child who has no intention of government.
If he knew that the emperor would be so impulsive, he would never sit back and watch the emperor himself send himself to Gu Shihai's mouth and let him fish and meat.
Now he regrets it, on the one hand, he hates the emperor for acting recklessly, on the other hand, he hates Gu Shihai for not playing cards according to the rules, and he wants to get married ahead of schedule, and on the other hand, he hates himself for being soft and losing the fat in his hand. It's a pity that no matter how much he regrets it, it is useless now.
"Elder Chen Ge, if there is anyone I can rely on, I will not be so desperate. Helplessly, Chen Ge was sick before, and I sent someone to invite him a few times, but I couldn't ask for it, I really couldn't do anything. Ye Tianhuai sighed and said regretfully, "It's a pity that Ling's granddaughter, I really have a heart for her, I really know her at first sight, alas, ......"
"Your Majesty, the old minister has a reluctant request."
"Elder Chen Ge, please speak."
"Your Majesty may include the granddaughter of the old minister in the palace?"
