Chapter 140: Death Penalty for All
How can this be reasonable?" the emperor was half lying in the carriage, exhausted.
"If you don't have the strength, don't speak. The emperor should rest for a while. Shi Jing shuddered.
"Shi Jing. You seem a little miserable. The emperor stared at the roof of the car.
"Your Majesty, you don't look much better."
Dog gall history. Relying on his father to be the emperor, talking to the emperor is not light or serious.
The emperor fell on his chest.
"A few days ago, Cui Zhen's father, Cui Yi, the Lingtai Lang of the Sipin Qintianjian Lingtai, told me that according to the celestial theory, it is suitable for me to stay in the palace during the Shangyuan Festival, and it seems that Cui Zhen's father is not bad. Du Chang is here, are you okay? ”
Du Zhiyan sat in the carriage and listened to the emperor arguing with Shi Jing.
She only hoped that the carriage would return to the palace as soon as possible.
Although I know that there may be many secret guards lurking around me now, but the danger outside the palace is so close, if she has something, she is not enough to worry about, if the emperor has a good person, it is estimated that the nine clans of the Du family will not be protected.
"Du Chang is there?" The emperor called her again.
"Your Majesty. The emperor's concubines are fine. ”
"Go back in a while, call a doctor to check your pulse, and if there is anything wrong, drink the medicine."
"Your Majesty."
Shi Jing is still dripping.
was fished up by Cui Zhen, and there was no heat on his body.
Thinking about the darkness and coldness under the water, it's like going to a ghost gate.
The emperor didn't care.
Shi Jing was really aggrieved: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, I will also call a doctor in a while, and then boil some ginger soup and drink a bowl, my body is strong." ”
"Yes." The emperor gave a sigh of gratitude without emotion.
Perfunctory man.
Shi Jing pouted.
The news of several people returning to the palace spread, and the harem exploded.
The fireworks exploded in the sky above Changle Palace, shattering into silver filigree trees, and half of the sky was bright.
Meng Yuzhu was really uneasy, and she couldn't sit or stand.
The personal palace maid cashew nut walked in quickly, and said a few words to Meng Yuzhu in her ear.
Meng Yuzhu's long armor almost pierced into the palm of his hand.
Tian Lingyue personally held the tea and tested the temperature before carefully holding it in front of Meng Yuzhu's face.
Meng Yuzhu flicked her sleeves, the tea cup fell to the ground, and the pink tea cup shattered into slag.
Cashew nuts picked up the broken teacup little by little, Tian Lingyue pinched Meng Yuzhu's back, but she didn't dare to say a word more in her mouth.
"Those idiots." Meng Yuzhu rubbed her temples and felt that her head was swollen into two big: "Those three people said that they were masters of the side plug, what did they say that they were so frightened that they died so easily?" The palace didn't let them kill anyone, but only let the three of them coerce Du Zhiyan on the flower boat, and let him go overnight. As long as she stays on the flower boat for one night, even if it is half a night, in front of everyone's eyes, her reputation will definitely be lost, and this harem will definitely not tolerate her. They couldn't do such a simple thing? ”
"I did it at the beginning. It's just that they caught the wrong person. ”
"Caught the wrong person?"
"They treat the emperor as Du Changzai, and they want to catch the emperor on the flower boat to pick up guests." Cashew nut replied.
"The emperor has left the palace? Didn't the emperor see the auxiliary minister in the palace? ”
"There must be some people who flattered the emperor, so the emperor secretly went out of the palace to have a private meeting with her."
Meng Yuzhu's eyes were gloomy: "A bunch of fools, the emperor is a man, they actually arrested the emperor to pick up guests?" I almost injured the emperor by mistake? If the emperor has a good one, won't this matter be exposed? It's just that they can coerce Du Zhiyan, which is really unreasonable. Dead is dead, and the body can be disposed of? ”
"The body has been taken up in the government office. But dead people can't speak, and they will never find out about Niangniang. Cashew looked out the window warily.
Meng Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
The most important thing is to leave no trace.
This time the matter is a foregone conclusion, as long as she can't be found here, it is a blessing, compared to how many people die.
After one night, the emperor's hand was swollen. All the doctors of the Tai Hospital arrived at their posts to discuss how to give the emperor a medical hand.
The matter of the Shangyuan Festival is still not covered.
The queen was easy to deal with, the queen personally boiled some pig's trotters and soybean soup, saying that it was a recipe in the book, drinking this soup can strengthen the muscles and body, and specially stewed it for the emperor to make up for it, maybe the wound on the hand can heal faster.
The emperor asked the queen to put the soup on the table, and instructed the queen: "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, so read less books in the future." ”
The queen was overjoyed.
In order to avoid the suspicion of the queen mother, after taking the decoction, the emperor went to Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother is still talking to the parrot under the corridor, and the parrot sent by King Yue can still learn to say a few words in the tone of King Yue from time to time, so when the Queen Mother is free, she always likes to chat with the parrot.
The emperor came up to ask for peace, but the queen mother asked him to stand: "I heard that the queen stewed pig's trotter soup for you?" ”
"Yes."
The Queen's kindness has never been on point.
The Queen Mother had a headache.
"As the queen of the middle palace, it is inappropriate to do this, but she has a good heart, and she also cares about you, the emperor will not blame her, right?"
"Naturally not."
"The emperor seems to be listening to the words of the mourners on this day." The Queen Mother looked at the emperor's swollen hands like turnips, distressed and angry: "Your Majesty, you are no longer a child, why are you still messing around like this?" Qin Tianjian has made it clear that the Shangyuan Festival has collided with the emperor's eight characters in the past few days, and the emperor had better stay in the palace and not go out. As the emperor, the emperor keeps his word, can he keep his promises? ”
The emperor smiled: "Erchen knows that he is wrong." ”
"You can still laugh." The Queen Mother pointed her finger at the emperor's forehead: "I'm afraid that you will be disobedient and run out secretly, the mourning family also let you stay in Cining Palace for a while that night, and I heard that you met with the auxiliary minister, so it will be too late, you will naturally not go out again, I don't want you to have an idea, Jian'er, you still sneaked out, and even hurt your hand." Look at your swollen hands, ridiculous. ”
The emperor just smiled: "A little injury is not enough to worry about." ”
"You are the emperor, the Son of Heaven, and the people of the world are all pointing to you. In case you have a good one, who can the mourning family count on, and who can the world count on to go? The Queen Mother was the winner of the last palace fight, and she was eloquent, seeing that the emperor was still hanging, the Queen Mother said: "Who sneaked out with the emperor that night?" ”
The emperor knew that something was wrong, and he was unwilling to confess Du Zhiyan and Shi Jing.
The Queen Mother was deaf and clear-sighted, but she actually knew the answer in her heart, but she deliberately frightened the emperor: "No matter who connived at the emperor to go out of the palace to play with her, disregarded the emperor's safety, and injured the emperor, she deserves to die, and she will mourn the family."
"Queen Mother, Erchen knows it's wrong." The emperor made a pitiful appearance: "The city is lively during the Shangyuan Festival, and the retainer wants to go out for a walk, but he accidentally injured his hand, and he doesn't do the concubine's business, and he also asks the queen mother to know it." ”
"Even if it's not about the concubines, those secret guards follow you all day long, and if the secret guards fail, they will all be executed."
The emperor couldn't help but laugh.
The Queen Mother has always been merciful. The minions made mistakes, and the queen mother still wanted to beg for mercy, saying these words just to scare the emperor.
The queen mother's acting skills are so good, and the emperor can't lag behind, so she also pretended to be very scared: "I have already made a wish in front of my ancestors during the Shangyuan Festival-"
"Make a wish in front of your ancestors?"
"I mean, during the festival of the Yuan Dynasty, I counted the gains and losses of the old years in front of my ancestors, and I will be more diligent and kind to the people in the future.
That's right.
I don't know what the emperor is doing, but he is a good little king.
At this point, the Queen Mother was quite satisfied, but because the emperor was injured, the Queen Mother didn't want to indulge in it, so she said: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, the emperor said, what should Du Changzai do?" ”
"The imperial doctors in the palace are very good, that Zhang Zhaoyi, let him come and show me, Imperial Doctor Zhang's medical skills are excellent."
"The mourning family is asking, what should Du Changzai do."
It seems that it can't be fooled.
"Then punish Du Chang for sleeping for two nights."
"Your Majesty, what kind of attitude do you have?"
"If the queen mother is dissatisfied, she will be punished for two days and not allowed to sleep, the queen mother, the women in the palace can't sleep, that's a big deal."
"Then punish her for two months without sleeping." The Queen Mother gave the final answer.
Survive in the harem, if you don't have favor, then you have no status, no status, and you can't even look down on those who help the slaves, and those concubines who don't have favor either sit on the falling flowers in the courtyard of the palace, or lie down and count the floor tiles in the palace. Even the Ministry of Internal Affairs may deduct the distribution of the regulations. It's too hard.
If the king is unkind, two months is enough for him to forget a person, and if the emperor forgets her, then she will be struggling in the harem.
The emperor protested in his heart.
Two months without letting Du Chang's body be there, two months is sixty days.
"These concubines are becoming more and more unruly, and they are also habitual by the emperor. Your Majesty, you must know that the word pampered and arrogant is not for nothing, and the emperor wants to be evenly stained with rain and dew in order to achieve long-term results. ”
"I see."
"From today on, let the queen come to the night's bedtime, the mourning family looks at the queen and is very willing to serve the emperor."
"Forget it, I still have official business at night."
"The emperor is unwilling to let the queen serve, it must be the queen's big heart, the service is inappropriate, there is a proper candidate here for the mourning family, Wei Guiren is sensible, proper, and does not talk much, when serving the mourning family in Cining Palace, it is excellent, from tonight, there will be Wei nobles to come to sleep."
The emperor sighed.
The Queen Mother is worthy of being the daughter of the Wei family, and she never forgets to promote the Wei family.
In the past, the emperor could still refuse to promote the queen, but now he has rejected the queen, and there is Wei Guiren as a substitute.
Maybe the queen mother didn't think about the queen in her heart, so she liked the nobles to come to bed.
The Queen Mother has said this, and if she refuses, it will be unfilial.
Can only agree.
Wanru Temple.
Du Zhiyan was listening to the report of the people waiting for Ertiao.
"These fireworks are called fairy flowers, and these are high-grade rice balls, which were sent by the queen mother to longan."
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent this month's monthly silver, as well as some ornaments and utensils for the Shangyuan Festival."
Shi Jing sat under the window worriedly, and her handkerchief was disturbed by her.
It's rare that her makeup is so sloppy on this day, maybe she didn't sleep well at night, and there are bruises under her eyes.
"The emperor was injured on the Shangyuan Festival, I don't know what to do with the two of us?"
"There is no news from Taihe Palace, it is the best news."
"But-I heard that the imperial doctor went to the Taihe Palace to prescribe medicine to the emperor, and the emperor went to Cining Palace, and it took a long time to come out, and I don't know in the middle-"
"Grandpa Gao has arrived."
"My crow's mouth. It must not be a good thing for Gonggong Gao to come. Shi Jing muttered.
Gao Rang came to Wanru Hall and brought a message to Du Zhiyan, and the emperor said that he would not let her sleep for two months.
"Du Chang is in good health, the emperor said, two months will pass quickly, and after these two months, the emperor will summon you." Gao Jean expressed sympathy and comfort.
Du Zhiyan was secretly happy in his heart.
I can't sleep for two months, and there is such a good thing.
If you don't sleep for two months, you will definitely not get pregnant in these two months, and you don't have to work night shifts, so you have enough time, your serious job is to be the emperor's concubine, and the side job is to open a restaurant to deliver takeaways, the main business is not good, the side business should be prosperous, and you can earn money for two months, isn't the silver fragrant?
Go to Taihe Palace to sleep, not only must you be careful to serve the emperor, some cautious concubines are also jealous, as soon as the road to sleep is dead, won't the side business be the same wind as Dapeng one day, soaring up to 90,000 miles?
The corners of Du Zhiyan's mouth couldn't be suppressed.
When Gao let go, Du Zhiyan directly called Erjo: "Quickly ask the small kitchen to cook two good dishes, by the way, I also want to eat a sauerkraut fish, use the largest herring to make it, and get twenty more skewers." Shi Jing, if you have anything you want to eat, order a dish. ”
Shi Jing stroked her chest and sat back out of the window, the bright sunlight wrapped her chubby waist, she was close to the palace for many days, she was not pampered, she was worried that she had eaten a few bowls of rice, her waist became thicker, and she gained seven or eight pounds: "The emperor used to favor you the most, but now he won't let you sleep for two months, will he forget you?" If forgotten by the king, isn't that like death? It's a pity that I don't have a favor, otherwise I can still share a little pet with you, forget it, I don't have an appetite, make me a sweet and sour tenderloin, osmanthus fat duck, and then a yellow braised shark fin, and then a dish of pea yellow. ”
The kitchenette quickly clinked.
No man will not die.
Still have to eat well.
I have a small kitchen in the palace, so I don't suffer a loss.
The twenty skewers, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the sauerkraut fish made of big herring is made of red peppers, spicy and sweaty in the mouth, not to mention how delicious it is with a bowl of rice, the pea yellow is made golden and yellow, glutinous and sweet, the sweet and sour loin is crispy and refreshing, the unique osmanthus fragrance in the fat duck soup is fragrant and fragrant after drinking.
The food is very good, but it can't be just the food without the wine.
"Erjo, warm a pot of apricot blossoms, I drank it with Shi Xiaozhu."
"Take two large cups."
Erjo quickly warmed the wine, and Du Zhiyan drank happily with Shi Jing, you and me, obviously forgetting the emperor to the clouds.
Taihe Palace.
The eunuch brought tea, which was Tieguanyin, which the emperor loved to drink.
The turquoise tea, the porcelain white bowl, the fragrance of tea. It is new tea.
The entire Taihe Palace is the fragrance of tea.
Gao Rang replied, saying that he had already gone to Wanru Hall to announce the decree, and Du Changzai already knew that she didn't have to sleep for two months.
The emperor was quite sympathetic to Du Zhiyan's meaning, and took the tea lid to grind the Tieguanyin floating in the tea: "That Du is often in a certain way. Heartbreaking, right? ”
"This"
"I mean, I can't sleep for two months, such a heavy blow, Du Changzai must be difficult to bear, right? Did she cry? ”
"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't look like it."
"Huh? You talk about it carefully. ”
