Chapter 104
"Imperial grandmother, Yunxiao misses you, I have asked to see you many times, but you are not allowed to see Yunxiao. Rong Yunxiao half-knelt in front of the Queen Mother, holding back the sourness in his heart and complaining and coquettishly.
Subsequently, Rong Yueye and Rong Leimo also half-knelt in front of the Queen Mother and told them about their concern for the emperor's grandmother.
The queen mother has run out of oil, and her face and lips are bloodless, even if she has asked the maid to help dress up, she still can't hide her haggardness. But at this time, she held the hands of the three royal grandsons, and her complexion seemed to be much better than before, and her smile shone into the hearts of the three princes like the warm winter sun.
"The imperial grandmother feels that her body is neat and her mood is comfortable today, and she immediately wants to see you, but you don't know how to smile and laugh, isn't it a little unpleasant?" The Queen Mother saw that the three imperial grandchildren were sad because they were about to die, and deliberately relieved the depressing atmosphere at the moment, and deliberately teased them.
"The Imperial Grandmother has taught me a lesson. The three princes spoke in unison, and then reluctantly raised a fairly acceptable smile.
"The seven sufferings in the world, birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love, parting, and unbelieving, these experiences are inevitable. The grandchildren don't have to be sad about this, the mourning family has enjoyed all the glory and respect in this life, which is already the luck of life, and now, the mourning family has nothing else to ask for, but the mourning family still doesn't worry about you......" The queen mother looked at the three royal grandsons in front of her and sighed.
The queen mother and the three emperors and grandchildren chatted for a while, until they were tired, and then ordered someone to take them to the side hall, take out their favorite snacks when they were children, and go back to the inner room to rest.
The three princes silently ate the tea and snacks brought by the maidservant, and no one spoke again, they all knew in their hearts that this might be the last time they would see their imperial grandmother.
"Qingmei, do you say that the royal grandchildren of the mourning family can be safe and smooth in this life?" The queen mother leaned on the soft collapse, barely cheered up and asked the maidservants who had served her for decades.
"Your Majesty's four highnesses are all smart and smart, and their blessings are profound, and they will be safe and smooth. Qingmei carefully put on the mink fur in her hand for the queen mother, and said softly.
"The emperor's family gave them glory and wealth, gave them supreme glory, but also gave them shackles......" The queen mother's voice became smaller, and after muttering to herself for a while, she closed her eyes and rested.
Three days later (that is, in 312 years), the Empress Dowager of Tianji Kingdom died, and the government and the opposition of Tianji Kingdom mourned, and the whole country mourned. There was a lot of sorrow inside and outside the imperial city, and the sound of mourning and crying was endless.
What is surprising is that the Empress Dowager of Tianji Kingdom passed away, and Bishui Kingdom actually sent envoys to Tianji Kingdom to mourn. This is a big deal for the Tianji Kingdom.
At this juncture, if the Bishui Kingdom sincerely sent an envoy to mourn, it means that the Bishui Kingdom is willing to continue to be friendly with the Tianji Kingdom, and the Tianji Kingdom does not have to worry about the Bishui Kingdom helping the Xunkong Kingdom in the event of a war with the Xunkong Kingdom.
But if Bishui Country is not really friendly with Tianji Kingdom, then Bishui Country sent envoys to come this time, just to secretly explore the reality of Tianji through the reason of condolences.
After Hua Shao, the envoy of the Bishui Kingdom, arrived in the capital of Tianji, he was arranged to live in a post house, waiting for the next day to enter the palace to meet and mourn.
However, on the second day, Emperor Yu did not announce that the envoys of the Water Kingdom entered the palace, because there was a war report from the border pass, and the army of the Tianji Kingdom was attacked by a sneak attack, killing and wounding more than a dozen people.
The report of the battle came from the border pass, and even if it was day and night, by the time the news reached the imperial city, seven or eight days had passed since the incident. Hearing such bad news, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar, and Emperor Yu, who was on the throne, was also worried.
Fortunately, the two armies are still facing off against each other, and the war has not been rekindled by the disappearance of Rong Changfeng, the king of Tianji Guoyi.
The ministers made a pilgrimage to Emperor Yu, speculating that His Royal Highness King Yi should not have fallen into the hands of the enemy, otherwise with the arrogance of the Empty Kingdom, he would have taken His Royal Highness King Yi as a hostage and took the opportunity to propose conditions favorable to them to the Tianji Kingdom.
Emperor Yu Rong Jinghong naturally knew that this was true, but the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing, and the sword had no eyes, no one dared to guarantee that Rong Changfeng would be safe and sound.
The queen mother died, the eldest son Rong Changfeng disappeared and his life and death were uncertain, and the position of the commander in the army was vacant again.
The emperor of Tianji Kingdom was sick in bed, so naturally he couldn't meet the envoys of Bishui Kingdom. Emperor Yu asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to apologize to Hua Shao, the envoy of Bishui State, and appease him. Therefore, the envoys of Bishui Kingdom temporarily lived in the post house in Fenghua City.
I thought that the envoys of Bishui Kingdom would stay in the post house and wait for Emperor Yu to see him after he recovered from his illness, but he never thought that he would make a move.
On that day, Rong Yunxiao's Chenwang Mansion had another uninvited guest, and Rong Yunxiao heard that he was an entourage who came to ask for a meeting on the order of Hua Shao, the envoy of the Bishui Kingdom, so he ordered someone to invite him in.
After the entourage saluted Rong Yunxiao, he handed Rong Yunxiao a secret letter, the general content of the letter was that Hua Shao, the envoy of the Bishui Kingdom, knew a major secret related to the Tianji Kingdom, and wanted to invite Rong Yunxiao to secretly go to the designated place after Tianhai.
In order to prove that he was indeed the envoy Hua Shao's order, the entourage also specially showed Hua Shao's waist card to Rong Yunxiao.
Rong Yunxiao pondered for a moment and then made a side knock on the entourage, and the entourage only said that Hua Shao said that this matter was very important, and he should have told Emperor Yu in person, but Emperor Yu was sick at such a critical moment, and he was afraid that something would be wrong, so he decided to inform Emperor Yu's favorite prince, His Royal Highness King Chen.
Rong Yunxiao was suspicious of the retinue's words, but he would rather believe it than believe it. If my father was really persecuted and had to live in the palace because he was sick, then I am afraid that the sky would really change. Besides, it happened that Yi Wang Rong Changfeng disappeared at the border pass, is all this too much of a coincidence?
Thinking of this, Rong Yunxiao decided to first accept the invitation of Hua Shao, the envoy of the Lower Water Kingdom, and then make another plan.
Rong Yunxiao verbally made a promise to the entourage to accept the invitation, and just wanted to put the secret letter in his sleeve, but the entourage reminded Rong Yunxiao to burn the secret letter so as not to fall into the hands of others.
Once the secret letter is burned, Rong Yunxiao will not be able to prove that the reason why he secretly met with the envoy of the Bishui Kingdom was Hua Shao's initiative. But if it is not burned in front of the entourage, I am afraid that Hua Shao will cancel this secret meeting because he is worried that he will be exposed, so that Rong Yunxiao will never have a chance to know what Hua Shao wants to tell him.
It was a matter of the secrets of the Tianji Kingdom, could it be the treasure array diagram of the Tianji Kingdom? Or was someone trying to harm his father? Rong Yunxiao's mind was racing rapidly, and he finally decided to burn the secret letter as the entourage said. After all, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get a tiger.
