Chapter 603: Temptation
Chen Man died in the fire in June of the second year of Qingming.
In October of the same year, the emperor married Empress Ding, and on the way back to Beijing, Empress Ding was seriously injured in the fire.
The emperor refused to let Empress Ding meet alone, and refused to let the old court envoy and Master Xuanzhi diagnose Empress Ding's pulse.
In the previous life, the loyal monarch of Dingguo suddenly carried a sword and entered the palace.
He had never put these things together before, and when they came together, the truth seemed to emerge-
The queen may be the missing Duchess Chen Man of Dingguo.
If so, it all makes sense.
Han Jun was valued by the first emperor before, and the first emperor trusted the medical skills of the old hospital envoy, and sent the old hospital envoy to diagnose Chen Man's pulse. The old hospital envoy was not confused at that time, and he was quite knowledgeable, and he cherished the pulse of every patient he had diagnosed.
But in the second year of Qingming, Emperor Qingming repeatedly questioned the medical skills of the old court envoy, and was so angry that the old court envoy asked for Zhishi, and then Yongping Hou recommended Wen's illegitimate son Liu Yunchao as the court envoy.
Also, there has always been an inextricable connection between the Chen family and Master Xuanzhi, Chen Man grew up next to Master Xuanzhi like You Ning, and Master Xuanzhi is also familiar with her pulse. With Master Xuanzhi's familiarity with Chen Man, I am afraid that he can also find clues from other places.
Therefore, even if the queen was seriously ill, Emperor Qingming did not dare to let the old court envoy and Master Xuanzhi diagnose the queen's pulse.
Therefore, the emperor wants to kill You Ning and kill Han Jun.
Even, the fall of the Chen family was really just caused by the Marquis of Yongping?
It's just that this speculation is too unbelievable, and there has been no news from Mangzhou yet, so Zhao Chengyuan has never dared to confirm it, nor did he dare to reveal it in front of Youning.
The day before yesterday, he went to test the prince, and the prince didn't seem to suspect the queen about the reason why the emperor killed Youning. Zhao Chengyuan was a little unsure, whether he guessed wrong. I hope I guessed wrong.
But he got the news last night that the prince entered the palace the next day, stayed in Yikun Palace for a long time, and then stayed at the gate of Kunning Palace for most of the day.
This morning, I heard that the prince entered the palace again and went to the gate of Kunning Palace to guard, still holding a copy of the "Dizang Sutra" in his hand.
Others may speculate that the prince is playing the role of a filial son, taking the opportunity to curry favor with the emperor. After all, the person the emperor values most is the queen, but anyone who respects the queen can get some care from the emperor. Just like Concubine Yun and the Six Princes, their status in the palace is now much higher than before.
But he knew that although the prince sometimes acted ruthlessly, he also had an iron backbone and disdained to do those flattering things.
So did the prince become suspicious of the queen's identity after listening to what he said?
Zhao Chengyuan lifted the wine jar, poured a full bottle of wine for Han Jun, and asked, "The emperor wants to kill Youning, what does Lord Yuezhang want to do?" ”
Han Jun's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of anger, but what he said through gritted teeth was, "The prince has orders, and my father-in-law will help when he goes to the soup." ”
He was angry at this time, but his emotions were restrained.
The decision he made was not to raise his sword to enter the palace regardless of it and fight with Emperor Qingming, but to rationally plan to stand with Zhao Chengyuan and plot to overthrow Emperor Qingming.
Indeed, although Han Jun is upright, he can always suppress the interference of personal feelings and personal grievances at a critical moment, and make the most rational and correct choice.
In this way, Han Jun raised a sword to enter the palace in his previous life, not for his daughter. He had things that made him angry and made him completely irrational.
Zhao Chengyuan said, "Now we need to find out the arrangement of the private soldiers in the hands of the emperor before we can act." Therefore, at this time, Lord Yuezhang does not need to do anything. ”
He paused, "Lord Yuezhang has never entered the palace to face the saint today, so he must have heard something." ”
Han Jun said with a cold face, "I arrived at the palace gate before dawn, but the palace gate was closed, saying that it was not early today." There are many officials outside the palace gate, and they have everything they say, some say that the emperor is sick, and some say that the queen is sick. I wish he was seriously ill and his retribution! ”
For so many years, he has been loyal to the monarch and patriotic, loyal to the monarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and loved the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No matter how ruthless Emperor Qingming is, he is also the son of the first emperor, and he always has to guard the country left by the first emperor.
But he is a dignified emperor, he can't even tolerate a little girl, and he has exhausted all the organs, is he really worthy of his support!
Zhao Chengyuan did not tell Han Jun his plans to speculate, lest he really raise his sword and enter the palace again, then a bloody battle of tens of thousands of people would be inevitable.
He asked, "Have you ever seen the Empress?" ”
Han Jun frowned and said, "She is a deep palace woman, and she never participates in palace banquets, how can my father see her." You say so, she is the one who is seriously ill? ”
Zhao Chengyuan bowed, "Exactly." On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, the queen fainted while enjoying the lanterns, and now three days have passed, and the emperor has never been seen out of the gate of Kunning Palace. ”
Han Jun didn't care about the queen, he felt that it had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't say anything to curse innocent people, so he only drank with his head bored.
Zhao Chengyuan accompanied his father-in-law to drink, his eyes were gloomy.
The guards came to report, and the old courtyard envoy came.
Weng and his son-in-law led the old court envoy to Jinhetang.
The old courtyard envoy turned a blind eye to the famous Dingguo Gong, but looked at Jinhetang and said, "The old man seems to have been here." That lady gave birth to two dolls? ”
Han Jun respected the old courtyard envoy and said, "Exactly." Back then, the old hospital envoy came here to check the pulse of Neiko. ”
The old courtyard envoy said, "When the woman was about to give birth, she was depressed, and the little doll she gave birth didn't frown, right?" ”
When Han Youning came out of the Moon Cave Gate, he heard the words of the old courtyard envoy.
The memory of the old envoy is really a mystery......
She smiled and said, "The old courtyard makes you see, and the little doll is standing in front of you." ”
The old court envoy stared at Han Youning for a long time, and suddenly said, "It turns out that the princess is the daughter of that lady, no wonder the old man looks at you quite familiarly." ”
Zhang Laosi on the side was quite jealous of the power of Dingguo Gong, for fear that his father would say something that he shouldn't say again, which would annoy this military general who had just come down from the battlefield.
I heard that the blood on the bodies of the people who just got off the battlefield has not been removed, and the murderous spirit has not been dissipated, so it is best not to provoke them.
He hurriedly tugged at his father's sleeve, "Father, let's go into the house and ask the princess for peace." ”
The old courtyard envoy shook off his son's hand, "I don't need you to remind him!" ”
Zhao Chengyuan listened to the words of the old court envoy, but his heart moved, and asked, "The old court envoy still remembers the Duchess of Guo, so do you still remember whether she was pregnant with one or two?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Han Jun and Han Youning's faces froze, and they all looked at the old court envoy.
The old hospital envoy suddenly felt that his medical skills had been insulted, and he pouted his beard with a little displeasure, "Naturally, although the lady's belly was quite big back then, it was just because the little doll was greedy." ”
He glanced at Han Youning's fleshy cheeks, "Isn't it clear that you are greedy now?" ”
Han Youning: ......
Han Jun's eyes were a little happy, so it was not Aman in the coffin at all, Aman was still alive. He kept saying that, but they didn't believe it.
Zhao Chengyuan's expression did not move, and he continued to ask, "Half a year after the woman gave birth, may it be diagnosed from the pulse?" ”
