Chapter 338: Opportunity
Yang Yunxi sighed, staring at the rain curtain outside the window in a daze, but his hand couldn't help but gently caress his abdomen. When Gu Qingyu said this, she should naturally be mentally prepared.
Moreover, she suddenly realized that maybe Zhu Li was not her reliance in the palace, but her reliance was the one in her stomach. Zhu Li's favor, which can be given to her or to others, is ethereal and uncertain after all. But the children are different - the prince and the phoenix grandson, as long as it is the bloodline inheritance of the Zhu family, then there is naturally no shortage of glory and wealth. And the mother is more expensive than the child, as long as she gives birth to the child safely, then she will naturally find a big backer.
Such a realization made Yang Yunxi couldn't help but smile bitterly. I just feel quite powerless.
It rained all day, and then stopped at noon. After Yang Yunxi had lunch, he asked Aunt Jing in a low voice: "If it goes on like this, I'm afraid there will be floods." ”
Aunt Jing suddenly smiled bitterly: "If it is in the old capital, I am afraid that this child will really be flooded into the house." However, in the long run, even if the palace is on high ground, it will not be able to withstand such a rain method. It was said that the water in the moat was almost overflowing. ”
Yang Yunxi's pupils shrank: "Your Highness is going to inspect the river embankment." I don't know if I left the embankment at this time - "If there is a flood and the embankment collapses without leaving...... It seems that there is no need to think much about what will happen to Zhu Li.
Aunt Jing obviously thought about such a thing, and her face was full of bitterness at the moment. Then he lowered his voice and said almost in a breathless voice: "Fortunately, no matter what, we are not greatly affected." ”
Yang Yunxi nodded, thought for a moment and said, "You have to pay attention to restraining the palace people, and remember not to let them discuss this matter in private." Don't say anything unlucky. ”
Aunt Jing responded solemnly.
Yang Yunxi called Liu Fan again.
Liu Fan is also worried now, and his strong emotions can hardly be concealed.
Yang Yunxi sighed lightly and said without waiting for Liu Fan to salute: "Your Highness didn't return overnight, and I don't know what stumbled on something." Gonggong Liu used to serve in front of His Royal Highness, but now he is very worried. I'm worried, too. That's why I called you. Whether you want to go out of the palace in person to find His Highness, or go to someone you knew from the past to find out the news, I can help you. ”
Liu Fan hesitated, but he was a little surprised. Then Liu Fan knelt down and kowtowed lightly to Yang Yunxi: "The slave is willing to go out of the palace to find His Royal Highness." ”
Yang Yunxi nodded: "It can be seen that you are loyal." I'll ask someone to take you to the eldest grandson to ask for a token." ”
Liu Fan kowtowed again.
Yang Yunxi thought for a while, and then said, "Bring some dry food and snacks when you leave the palace." After all, I don't know what the situation is outside, whether the things are clean or not, and what I bring with me is more reassuring. ”
After instructing this, Yang Yunxi asked Aunt Jing to take Liu Fan to ask for the token in person.
After doing this, Yang Yunxi just stopped tossing, just eating and eating, resting when he should rest, but he kept chanting in his free time. I just hope that Zhu Li can return safely.
After another two days, Zhu Li finally had news.
Before that, there were already rumors in the palace, some said that Zhu Li had died, some said that Zhu Li was seriously injured, and some said that he was missing. Whether it is Empress Dowager Tu or Empress Li, they have issued strict orders to prohibit such rumors, but anyone who talks nonsense will be beaten at the lightest, and at worst they will be simply branded.
As the name suggests, tongue branding is the process of pulling the tongue out with pliers to imprint it with a red-hot iron. The tongue is delicate, and it hurts to bite it accidentally on weekdays, let alone so. At the time of the execution, it was only at the time of the execution, and the most painful part was the days after the execution. It hurts almost every time I move my tongue, I can't speak, and it hurts to drink and eat. This kind of punishment has always been rarely used.
And this time, it can be seen how angry Empress Dowager Tu and Empress Li are. Speaking of which, Yang Yunxi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: This is about the most tacit understanding between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Empress Dowager Tu not only punished the palace people, but even the emperor was beaten and reprimanded.
Empress Dowager Tu: This is obviously caused by too much worry.
And even the news that came back after these two days was not good news - Zhu Li was injured, and when he was shot by an arrow in the chest, he almost injured his heart.
The most important thing is that Zhu Li fell off the river embankment at that time and brewed in the water for a long time before being found and picked up. Therefore, the wound bleed too much, not to mention, and finally the wound was suspected of ulcerating, and the whole body was full of high fever.
When he got the news, Yang Yunxi was only slightly stunned, and he could almost conclude that someone must have designed Zhu Li's accident this time. Someone...... Vital Zhu Li.
"Then do you say when His Highness will return to the palace?" Yang Yunxi didn't care about listening slowly, so he asked directly.
The little yellow door who returned hurriedly replied: "If nothing happens, I can return to the palace this evening." ”
Yang Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then frowned again - although Zhu Li was much safer after returning to the palace, he was afraid that if the person who assassinated Zhu Li had a heart, it would not be easy to guard against.
Moreover, after Zhu Li returned to the palace, he still didn't know where he would recuperate. The argument should naturally be in Zhu Li's own bedroom, but ......
Yang Yunxi thought about it, and then asked someone to call Xu Xun over.
Xu Xun has lost some weight in the past few days, and his eyes are getting bigger and bigger, which makes people feel a little distressed when they look at it.
Xu Xun had a blue and black color under his eyes, obviously he hadn't slept well in the past two days, and when he saw Yang Yunxi after coming over, he hurriedly asked, "What did you call me for?" Have you heard the news of Your Highness? ”
Yang Yunxi nodded slightly: "I heard about it." Although His Highness is injured, as long as he takes good care of him, he can recover, which is good. I'm looking for you because I want to tell you something. ”
Xu Xun looked at Yang Yunxi suspiciously.
Yang Yunxi pointed out directly: "Your Highness returns to the palace, this is a good thing." It's just that I don't know where to recuperate, if it's in the Changsun Palace, it's just that, there is naturally the eldest grandson. But if it is not in the Changsun Palace, but in His Royal Highness's own bedroom, then it needs someone to serve closely. ”
Xu Xun didn't understand what Yang Yunxi meant at first, and said, "Isn't there Liu En and Li Bei around Your Highness?" Where else do you need-" Before the words were finished, she suddenly came to her senses, and her eyes lit up slightly: "You mean ......"
Yang Yunxi nodded: "If you are in His Highness's own bedroom, you will ask the eldest concubine to let you serve by His Royal Highness's side." The eldest grandson concubine still has to take care of the things in the eldest grandson palace, her body is not good, it is impossible to ask about everything, I am pregnant again, this is your best chance. Moreover, let you go and take care of it, and we can rest assured. ”
