Perhaps it was because of the effort in organizing the flower-viewing banquet that on the second day after the flower-viewing banquet, the emperor received news that the concubine was ill.
The emperor was drinking morning tea with a puzzled look on his face, thinking that Concubine De was the healthiest person in the harem back then. She survived the queen and the emperor, and now she is still active in the harem. She hosted a flower viewing party.
Just moving your mouth makes you sick?
The key is that the person sent by the concubine said this: "Please come to the emperor when you are free. Maybe we can see him one last time."
When the maid sent by the emperor to deliver the message came back, she said to the imperial master with a bitter face: "Look, the concubines have begun to play tricks on me!"
The Imperial Preceptor was trembling with fear. He wanted to speak but was afraid of causing trouble again. He was momentarily torn.
"You old boy!" The emperor couldn't see how cautious and extremely precious his life was.
It is said that he considers himself not a foolish emperor, and he has never been angry because of a minister's attitude or unsatisfactory suggestions. The whole world knows that he has the best temper among all the emperors. How come the national advisor who should be the representative of the imperial court is
How can he be so virtuous? I don’t know how the former Imperial Master chose his successor!
The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. The emperor simply bypassed the dragon case and came to the imperial master. The imperial master, who was already shorter, looked up at the emperor innocently and quietly took a step back. The emperor raised his eyebrows and took another step forward.
The imperial master was so frightened that he took several steps back and turned sideways.
The emperor sighed boredly, finally planning to let the imperial master go.
He said angrily: "Concubine Li and Concubine Shu didn't know what to do if they gave me some time to rest. They had nothing to eat and were full, so they went to mess with the daughter of the Yan family! They were still at the concubine's banquet. Didn't they just cause trouble for themselves?
A powerful opponent!"
The imperial master thought that a concubine, now that the harem no longer belongs to her, could still be considered a formidable opponent.
His expression was so obvious that the emperor couldn't help but hit him on the head.
"The late emperor had many concubines, but I don't want to think about why I only kept Concubine De in the palace!"
The imperial master was confused, but he finally understood the emperor's attitude.
"It is inconvenient for minor ministers to intervene in the affairs of the harem. The Emperor's Sacred Heart can make the final decision." The Imperial Master said respectfully.
The emperor also lost his temper with him and waved his hand to let him go.
All the events at yesterday's flower viewing banquet had already reached his ears, including Prince Xuan's subsequent performance.
A hint of coldness flashed in the emperor's eyes...
He has never liked women who make trouble. In his eyes, only quiet, gentle and virtuous women deserve a man's care. Women should not be too stupid.
It's a pity that there seem to be a lot of stupid women in his harem.
There is no way to hide this matter. First, the concubine's attitude has already explained her position, and secondly... this is Yan Xi's daughter's matter!
He didn't know why, but since that misunderstanding many years ago, he always felt that he owed Yan Xi. He couldn't help but want to do what he wanted him to do, and get rid of the problems he didn't like. Seeing that he had to do it because he didn't agree with it.
If you obey the imperial authority, your heart will feel blocked.
"Perhaps I owed him something in my previous life?" The emperor would sometimes ask himself.
"His wife is too cruel!" Recalling some of the scenes described by the Imperial Master, the Emperor suddenly had an idea.
Sighing heavily again, he straightened up and walked out. With his hands behind his back, he shouted: "Hongwen, come with me to see the concubine."
Hong Wen sprang out from the corner and followed behind the emperor with a flick of his fly whisk.
On the carriage back, Yan Qingzheng also asked about the process of Yun'er being taken away.
"You didn't study with me just to be bullied by them! What are you afraid of!" Yan Qingzheng got angry when he heard this.
"This slave is not afraid of them, and I also know that Miss Seventh will not be a mortal person in the future, but Miss Sixth is different from you!" Yun'er covered her face gently and expressed her concerns.
Yan Qing glanced at Miss Six and then fell silent.
Yes, she can get angry and cause turmoil in the palace. After all, her future and her status do not need to worry about mortal power, even the royal family. But the sixth sister has to live in Fengrong all her life.
"I'm not as thoughtful as you are!" She blamed herself.
The sixth lady looked at Yun'er in a different light. Yan Qingzheng's maids were all so knowledgeable.
"It's all me who has caused trouble for you." Miss Six blamed herself. She should have stayed at home honestly. If she didn't come out, she wouldn't have gotten into trouble.
"Sixth sister, don't say that! We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it! Today's matter is obviously someone else's fault, how can we blame it on Sixth Sister! We are not born as saplings planted in the soil, why should we not be allowed to do so?
Get out and about!”
Yan Qing was saying angrily, which made Sixth Miss laugh, and also made the gloom in her heart dissipate a lot.
Back at the Grand Master's Mansion, it turned out that no one would blame Miss Six for going out. They were all complaining about people who wanted to harm others. A smile of relief finally appeared on Miss Six's lips.
"Let us adults handle this matter," Yan Xi said.
The sixth lady nodded respectfully, gave a slight salute, and the fourth lady held hands and went back to the backyard.
Yan Qingzheng seemed to not understand his father's hint, so he stayed in the main hall and refused to leave.
"Father, please don't take it easy just because Yun'er has been wronged. If my daughter hadn't gone there in time, the unbearable scene would have happened to the sixth sister! The reason why the sixth sister is safe and sound is because her daughter found out in time.
, It's not that they have any sympathy!" What Yan Qingzheng is most afraid of is what kind of balance his father and grandfather say, Zongheng and the like. If she can't seek justice for her sixth sister, why should she betray her and secretly drag her away?
It's okay if my sister runs away.
Yan Xi gave her daughter a hard answer and said with a wry smile: "In your eyes, is a father so cowardly?"
Yan Qing was shaking his head slowly: "Father and grandfather have to protect too much, so they will inevitably be constrained." After a pause, he added: "If father is in trouble, please tell me directly, and my daughter will naturally take action herself.
."
After saying that, she bowed and left.
Nalan Lianyue waited for her outside, and took her hand sympathetically back to the backyard.
Later, Yan Xi and Mrs. Yan looked at each other in confusion.
One night passed, Prince Xuan got up early and walked out of the room with the first ray of sunshine in the morning.
He stretched his body and walked to the backyard martial arts training field. This was his daily homework. There was no elder supervision at home. This was a habit he had formed since he was a child. Prince Xuan's self-discipline amazed the emperor. He said that he was born to be a soldier.
And he will be a role model.
Prince Xuan didn't think there was anything to make a fuss about. If you do something for a long time, it becomes a habit. If you continue your daily habit, there is nothing to be proud of.
He had just done two sets of boxing, and he was about to go to the weapons rack to get weapons. He usually used spears, but suddenly he thought of Yan Qingzheng. It was said that she had also studied in Xuanmen for many years, so her martial arts skills were not a problem.
, looking at her delicate appearance, I don’t know what kind of weapons she is used to.
Prince Xuan was distracted for the first time during morning exercises, then he chose a long sword and started swinging it.
Only at this time did the maids in the Prince's Mansion dare to show a hint of infatuation, because at this time Prince Xuan was fully focused and would not notice the movement around him. They stood far away and did not dare to make a sound.
The slightest movement, only this time every day is their happiest moment, so there is no maid in Prince Xuan's mansion who sleeps in, regardless of whether she is on duty today.
They think the prince today is particularly handsome!
Is it the gentleness in the eyes? Is it the elegance of the weapon itself? Or is it the touch of white clothes that is most suitable for sword skills?
The hearts of the maids were beating like bells and drums.
Further away, the nun in charge watched all this, and without looking back, asked a serious-looking nun in black next to her: "Is it okay to indulge them like this?"
"People, they have to pursue something... As long as it doesn't go beyond the scope of the prince's tolerance, this matter... is up to them."
The stewardess smiled slightly, yes, who has never been young.
The nun in black clothes next to her is the nun in charge of criminal law in Prince Xuan's Mansion. She is usually selfless, but who knew she had such a tender side.
"Our prince is already twenty!" the stewardess pointed out.
"This palace... should have a mistress long ago!" Aunt Punishment's eyes were full of yearning.
They are so much older, so naturally they will not be as attracted to Prince Xuan as the maids are to the opposite sex. They have an old mother's mentality towards Prince Xuan, who they have grown up with, but due to their status, they will never say anything.
Just mention it. It’s just that they will consider Prince Xuan more sincerely and protect his interests, just like an old hen protecting its chicks.
At the center of attention of this crowd of people, I saw a boy delivering a letter in a hurry.
After reading the letter, Prince Xuan's face darkened.
He quickly left the martial arts field and returned to his room. After a brief wash, he appeared in the study dressed in purple.
"Say." He said briefly as soon as he entered the door.
There was already a deputy general circling inside the door. When he saw him coming in, he quickly gave a military salute. When he heard this word, he quickly said: "Er Niu's cousin works as a guard in the palace. He finished his duty yesterday. When he left the palace this morning, he was not far away.
He was killed no more than a thousand meters away from the palace gate!"
Prince Xuan's eyes sparkled: "What's going on?"
"Er Niu said that when he went to see him, his cousin's eyes were gouged out. His death was... very miserable! It didn't look like an emergency, but like seeking revenge or... silencing him!"
"Having his eyes gouged out usually means that he saw something he shouldn't have seen. How do you think about it from this perspective?"
"Er Niu said that his cousin was the most kind-hearted and never made enemies with anyone... Moreover, he said that the body had been moved. He investigated and found that someone should have attacked him from behind. His cousin had been on duty all night.
So I was a little sleepy in the morning and didn't wake up in time. Looking at the terrain and direction at that time, the murderer should have come from the direction of the palace."
"Imperial Palace?" Everything in the palace yesterday flashed in Prince Xuan's mind, and something happened unexpectedly that caught his attention.
That is to say, when the news reached the ears of the emperor, Prince Xuan happened to be there, so he remembered the eunuch's report at that time: "Miss Liang's disheveled appearance was seen by the two father-in-law and four guards who came...
