Murong Yingluo followed the nanny sent by the Queen Mother to Fengqi Palace, but she heard Yu'er's call halfway.
"Yu'er!"
Yu'er has escaped from the unbreakable protection and is running towards Yingluo alone. Nanny is a little panicked. Why is there no one around the little prince? There must be something fishy about appearing here like this.
Yingluo held the child in her arms, "Yu'er, why are you here? Why is there no one following you?"
Yu'er remembered what his uncle told him not to say that it was him who asked Yu'er to wait here. Yu'er hated the nuns around the imperial grandmother.
"Aunt, the queen is in Fengqi Palace now, would you please go with Yu'er? Yu'er hasn't seen the queen for a few days."
"No, the Queen is currently studying "Female Virtues" and no one is allowed to disturb her." Mammy stopped her.
Murong Yingluo still couldn't tell. Her sister was afraid that she would be implicated because of the rumors, so the queen mother prohibited her mother and son from seeing each other. It seemed that the situation was more serious than imagined.
Not only did the Queen Mother fail to suppress the rumors, she actually implicated the Murong family. How could she have the face to meet her father? Will her father expel her from the Murong family because of this?
Hearing her grandma's cold shout, Yu'er burst into tears, "Yu'er wants to see her mother! Yu'er wants to see her mother!"
Yingluo wiped the tears on Yu'er's cheeks and comforted her: "Yu'er is good! Auntie will take Yu'er to see her mother right now."
"Princess Zheng, this is an order from the Queen Mother!"
Seeing the child crying, how could Yingluo have the heart to leave the child in the imperial garden? It is only natural that the child wants to see his mother.
"Could it be that I want to do something wrong and disobey the prince?"
Princess Zheng’s reputation was very loud, so Grandma hurriedly explained: “I don’t dare!”
"Don't dare be the best!" Yingluo took Yu'er towards Fengqi Palace regardless of her mother's objection, and her mother could only follow behind angrily.
Yu'er leaned in Yingluo's arms. When she thought of being able to see her mother, all her sorrow disappeared. She actually forgot about her agreement with Si Wushang and whispered to Yingluo: "Yu'er told her aunt a secret. It's my uncle.
Let Yu'er wait in the Imperial Garden."
Murong Yingluo's expression froze. He actually came to the palace and knew that the Queen Mother would summon him to the palace. Why didn't he come to face the Queen Mother with him?
If he would have complained before, now that he had caused this incident and had to face it himself, he must have had his own difficulties. I really wonder how I could excuse him.
On the other side, Si Wushang came to the door of the royal study alone, and the eunuch reported: "Prince Zheng has something to ask to see the emperor."
"Come in!" Si Wuyue's deep voice came from the royal study, something seemed wrong.
Si Wushang strode in and closed the door. Seeing Si Wuyue frowning slightly in pain, he hurriedly stepped forward to seal the acupuncture points on his body, and the internal energy slowly entered his meridians.
After a while, he saw that Si Wuyue's face had improved a lot, and he just regained his inner strength. There was a hint of worry in his expression. The emperor had heart disease since he was a child, and there was a hole in his heart. His father could help him detoxify, but he could not help him cure his congenital disease.
The illness, until his father's death, has always been an unsolved knot in his father's heart.
"The emperor's illness has worsened recently."
"Well, the pain in my chest has become more and more frequent in recent days, and the internal force you put in can no longer suppress the spread of the disease."
If the condition is allowed to continue to worsen, the emperor will die of heart failure, and the court will be in chaos. "In some time, envoys from the ancient Wu Kingdom will come. The ancient Wu Kingdom is very ambitious, and I cannot let them see it."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. In a few days, the Emperor will be able to find a name. After the court is closed for seven days, my brother will reshape the emperor's meridians. By nurturing the heart, the emperor will be worry-free for a year."
Si Wuyue's eyes were full of shock, and he nourished his heart with his heart, which was to use the blood from the tip of his heart as a guide to mend the missing hole in his heart. The only person in the world who could help him mend his heart was Prince Zheng.
He has the entire dynasty and his young son on his shoulders.
"If I am gone one day, you are the only one who can stabilize the overall situation, and you are the only one I believe in."
Si Wushang looked at the emperor's sincere eyes with gentleness in his eyes. If the emperor really believed in him, he would not send Bupo to monitor him and use the Murong family to contain his power. He was also afraid of the edict left by his father.
.
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. The emperor relies on himself but also guards against himself. When two people play chess in the next game, it is also a big gamble.
There are four countries headed by Gu Wu who are coveting the throne outside, and there are factions of the Queen Mother and factions of the Murong family competing against each other. In the current situation, it is absolutely impossible for the Emperor to get into trouble. Si Wushang made this decision based on the overall situation.
"My father only left us two brothers. How could I, a brother who is connected by blood, not help the emperor?" The two brothers looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
Si Wushang pretended to be unaware of his identity, and said with a solemn expression: "My brother came here today to inform His Majesty that people from the ancient Wu Kingdom may have infiltrated into the imperial capital, and the Emperor must take precautions as soon as possible."
Si Wuyue straightened up his weak body. Nowadays, there are powerful countries outside looking at him, and there are courtiers with ambitions inside. How can he not be anxious due to internal and external troubles? Of course, he has been informed of this matter.
"Don't worry, brother, I have been investigating. The ancient state of Wu suddenly sent an envoy to Cheng Han. There must be a purpose for coming here. I will rely on King Zheng in the future."
"My brother is obliged to do something important to the country. However, in recent days, my mother seems to be a little unable to control myself. Rumors have spread in the capital, and my brother is in a dilemma."
The Emperor has naturally heard of the rumors and believes that this trivial matter will not trouble King Zheng. He is well aware of the grievances between his mother and King Zheng, and it seems that he wants the Emperor to come forward to calm the matter and silence the Queen Mother. The Emperor is
The Queen Mother's weakness.
The Emperor was also well aware of the Queen Mother's actions, and the Queen Mother's temperament was still clear, "I have heard about the rumors. The Queen Mother went to the Murong family, and my Queen was also implicated. I have been talking about it in the past few days.
I was afraid that someone would find out that I was ill, but I did not deal with the matter. Prince Zheng came to the palace, and my sister-in-law should have arrived at Fengqi Palace by now, so I will go with you right away."
Si Wushang shook his head lightly, but he was not in a hurry at all, "Your Majesty, it's still early, why don't I play a game of chess with Your Majesty, calm down and recuperate, and when the chess game is over, it won't be too late to leave."
Si Wushang was already sitting by the chessboard. He extended his hand to invite the emperor and said, "The white piece will go first!" He pushed the white piece in front of the emperor.
"You are really calm. You are not afraid that the girl from the Murong family will cause you more trouble." Seeing his calm and calm expression, Si Wuyue took the white piece and dropped one at will.
Si Wushang held the black piece in his hand, glanced at a corner of the chessboard, and slowly dropped the piece.
