Chapter 141: Sejin Mother and Daughter Return to the Palace
Dongling Yuanhao thought he would be doomed this time, but just when he was about to explain the reason for his disappearance to win forgiveness, Dongling Yuanyong seemed to know what he wanted to do. Just as he was about to speak, Dongling Yuanyong
To expose him first, he said:
"You don't have to pretend to be pitiful. You've caused trouble in the imperial city these past few days. I don't have time to fix you now."
When Dongling Yuanhao was missing, he was indeed worried that something might happen to him. But now Dongling Yuanhao was dirty and didn't even have a scratch, so he had nothing to worry about.
Mainly because he really didn't have time to waste now. He changed the subject and said:
"Hurry up and pack up and go to Yizhou to see the specific situation, and protect Rong'er by the way!"
Although he had arranged enough manpower to protect Ximen Yourong who was already in Yizhou, he was still worried.
When Yizhou was mentioned, Dongling Yuanhao knew that the situation was serious. He also knew that Ximen Yourong had quietly gone to Yizhou.
However, he thought that Dongling Yuanyong must have made arrangements before he could safely let Ximen Yourong go to Yizhou.
However, looking at Dongling Yuanyong's tense expression, he realized that Dongling Yuanyong was really not in the mood to scold him for the chaos caused by his disappearance.
This also proves that Dongling Yuanyong does have other more serious things to worry about now.
Naturally, the only thing his imperial brother cares about most at this moment is Ximen Yourong, who is in danger.
Speaking of the dangerous land in Yizhou, Dongling Yuanhao also frowned and asked:
"Is the current situation in Yizhou still not getting better?"
"Not only has it not happened, but it has become increasingly difficult to control. More and more people are getting the disease, and the people of Yizhou are panicking. If we don't find a way to solve the problem, once the disease accelerates and spreads, it will directly threaten the imperial city if it is serious."
Yizhou is only three hundred miles away from the imperial city. If the epidemic really spreads, how can the imperial city close to Yizhou be safe?
"Then the emperor's sister-in-law will get sick at any time in Yizhou?"
"Compared with the possibility that she might be infected with the disease, I'm more worried that someone is already waiting for her in Yizhou."
"Waiting for the emperor's sister-in-law, what does this mean?"
"It has been basically determined that the disease disaster in Yizhou is not a natural disaster, but man-made."
"What...?" Dongling Yuanhao exclaimed, and then asked in confusion: "Then why did you let the emperor's sister-in-law take risks?"
"Rong'er also knows, that's why she has to go. I need you to help Rong'er control Yizhou first, and don't let the people panic and choose their own way to create a turbulent situation."
If it was just a natural disaster, as the king of a country, it is only natural for Dongling Yuanyong to think about the people. He would also be very happy that Ximen Yourong would do her best to protect the people with him without hesitation.
But the news sent back by Wuhen, who was sent to protect Ximen Yourong, was almost certain that the disaster in Yizhou was man-made, which meant that Yizhou had an unknown conspiracy at this time.
I originally thought that Ximen Yourong's proficiency in medical skills caused others to maliciously make things difficult. But if you think about it carefully, before Ximen Yourong became the queen, how many people in Dacheng knew about her existence?
Even if someone didn't want her to sit firmly on the throne of the queen, they wouldn't have planned such a troublesome disaster so quickly in an attempt to destroy Ximen Yourong's status as the mother of the country!
If Yizhou's conspiracy was not originally aimed at Ximen Yourong, then it seems that the conspiracy created by people hiding in the dark was for him.
But no matter what the malicious purpose of those people was, he believed that they were trying to use Ximen Yourong to stir up a huge wave. Once Ximen Yourong was harmed by this, he would be greatly affected.
Because those people knew that to him, Ximen Yourong was not only his queen, but also the woman he loved deeply!
Thinking that Ximen Yourong was surrounded by unknown dangers, Dongling Yuanyong actually began to regret allowing her to leave the palace and leave his side.
He wished he could stay with her, so that he could at least protect her personally.
However, she quietly went to Yizhou as a doctor, and he was the king of a country. He couldn't be willful and ignore his family and country just for beauty!
He couldn't take care of her safety himself, so he could only let the people he trusted most come to her side to protect her. In this way, he could feel more at ease.
Therefore, Dongling Yuanhao, who returned safely, became his best choice.
Dongling Yuanhao may not be able to deeply understand Dongling Yuanyong's feelings at this time, but he knows what Ximen Yourong means to Dongling Yuanyong.
So, his naughty temper stopped, he stood up and said simply:
"Brother Emperor, if things over there in Yizhou are really so weird, don't tell me that you are worried about my wife, even I am worried. Without further ado, I will rush to Yizhou right away."
Dongling Yuanhao said, he had turned around and was about to leave, but Dongling Yuanyong called out to him:
"Wait a minute, Yuan Hao..."
"Brother, do you have anything else to say?" Dongling Yuanhao turned around.
Dongling Yuanyong walked closer and handed him a small medicine bottle and said:
"This is a good medicine that can cure hundreds of poisons. You should take it before entering Yizhou."
Dongling Yuanhao looked at the small medicine bottle and knew that it was a precious elixir given to Dongling Yuanyong by the old ghost doctor. It would be difficult to extract it after using it, so he subconsciously refused:
"Brother Imperial, this medicine is hard to find in the world, so you should keep it in case there is a more critical time in the future..."
"I won't allow you to make any mistakes!"
There was no room for negotiation on Dongling Yuanyong's attitude. To him, Dongling Yuanhao's life was no less important than his own.
Feeling Dongling Yuanyong's love and care, the corners of Dongling Yuanhao's mouth rose with joy:
"I thought I would be beaten to death by the emperor today, but I didn't expect that I would be beaten to death by the emperor... Haha!"
"I will make up for it when you come back from Yizhou."
While Dongling Yuanyong was speaking, he poured out the last pill from the medicine bottle and half-ordered Dongling Yuanhao, who was smiling with satisfaction: "Open your mouth."
Dongling Yuanhao obediently opened his mouth and took the medicine Dongling Yuanyong put into his mouth, and asked unpreparedly:
"What to make up for?"
"Beat you half to death!"
"Ahem...!"
The medicine that Dongling Yuanhao had not yet swallowed was stuck in his throat. If Dongling Yuanyong hadn't slapped him on the back to help him swallow the medicine smoothly, his face would have turned red.
"Brother Emperor, I really didn't mean to make you worry about my disappearance this time. I did it because..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get ready to go. The sooner you arrive at Yizhou, the sooner I will feel at ease."
After Dongling Yuanyong said this, Dongling Yuanhao did not dare to delay any longer. He received the order and hurried back to his palace, packed it up, and rode a fast horse to Yizhou on the same day...
Dongling Yuanyong, who could not leave the palace, did not have any leisure and relaxation because Dongling Yuanhao was safe and sound.
On the contrary, he became even busier. Not only did he have to deal with Wen's shelved cases, he also had to deal with daily government affairs.
Also, his concubine Sejin from the frontier happened to be brought to the palace... However, it was not just Sejin who came, but also the daughter she gave birth to.
He took this opportunity to lift You Kouyi's ban, asked her to meet Ximen Yourong on behalf of Ximen Yourong, and arranged for Sejin and her daughter to live in food and clothing in the palace in the future.
For a time, Dongling Yuanyong's harem finally had a concubine, and even a little princess who had just learned to walk, which made the harem a little more lively.
You Kouyi, who had "recovered health", dutifully received Sejin's mother and daughter in response to Dongling Yuanyong's order.
At first glance, Sejin has a slender figure and her facial features are not stunning, but she looks like Xiaojiabiyu.
As for her daughter, she has an expression very similar to Sejin's. She seems a little shy, but very well-behaved!
Sejin took her daughter and Yurui bowed down to Youkoyi in a decent manner, and Youkoyi said with some enthusiasm:
"Concubine Jin, there is no need to be polite..." After saying that, she instructed Manzhi: "Please quickly invite Concubine Jin and the little princess to take their seats."
After Sejin took her daughter Yurui and followed Manzhi's invitation to sit directly opposite Youkoyi, she warmly raised her eyes and looked at Youkoyi, who was also looking at her, and thanked softly:
"We, mother and daughter, are new here. We have troubled the imperial concubine to arrange everything carefully. Sejin is very grateful."
Today was Se Jin's second day in the imperial city. She was used to the simple food, clothing, housing and transportation in the frontier, but the luxury in the palace made her feel out of place.
However, since she has come, let her be safe! Since Dongling Yuanyong suddenly decided to bring her to the imperial city, I think it was not for nothing.
Perhaps because Sejin's gentle and gentle tone was sincere, You Kouyi also smiled appropriately:
"What Concubine Jin said is obvious. You and I are all serving His Majesty, and it is our duty to take care of each other. What's more, His Majesty personally instructed you and your daughter to live comfortably in the harem, so how can I slack off?"
Regarding the appearance of Sejin mother and daughter, You Kouyi could not say whether she was happy or not. Of course it was not surprising that Dongling Yuanyong had a concubine in the frontier, Yu Kouyi. But Dongling Yuanyong still had a concubine in the frontier.
My daughter really didn't expect it at all.
She always thought that Dongling Yuanyong's concubines at the border were just dispensable.
However, for a concubine like Sejin who gave birth to a child for Dongling Yuanyong, it seems reasonable that Dongling Yuanyong specially took her back and made her his concubine.
However, she had doubts in her heart whether Dongling Yuanyong really valued Sejin and her daughter that much.
Not long ago, Concubine Yi made plans to recruit new people for Dongling Yuanyong, but he didn't seem to be interested at all. Later, even Concubine Yi inexplicably stopped mentioning the matter of accepting concubines.
For this reason, not only the noble ladies on the candidate list were full of disappointment, but the courtiers were also full of doubts. They were privately worried that Dongling Yuanyong would favor the queen alone.
But as soon as this voice of doubt arose, Dongling Yuanyong brought Sejin from the border and made her his concubine, which made it impossible for those who were looking forward to him to have a concubine to question.
Sejin was not happy because of You Kouyi's seemingly generous kindness. Of course, she would not have any bad opinion of You Kouyi. After all, it was just their first meeting, and no one knew each other. She was gentle and indifferent.
He once again expressed his gratitude to You Kouyi for taking care of him.
In this regard, You Kouyi did not intend to say anything more. However, looking at the well-behaved Yurui next to Sejin, You Kouyi changed the topic and asked casually and curiously:
"Concubine Jin is lucky enough to give birth to a dragon girl for your majesty. It shows that your majesty must be very fond of my sister. But when your majesty came back to the imperial city, why didn't my sister come back with you?"
This is what You Kouyi is confused about. If Sejin really means something to Dongling Yuanyong, why is he thinking about bringing their mother and daughter back now?
