She knew that today's meeting was not a good thing, but others were happy to see her mother's family, but when she met her mother's family, it was like they were enemies.
Either I wanted to ask for something, or I was trying to save face, and I was directly charged today.
Sometimes she wonders, does she owe the Chu family?
Five days after His Majesty fainted, the messenger who was secretly summoned that night together with Wen Shao rushed to the Zhenbei Army camp.
The herald waited until the night was dark and windy, then disguised himself as a swill-draining coachman and pulled several large, smelly wooden barrels into the camp.
After entering, choose a remote place and stop the carriage.
This herald was originally the servant of Zhongbei Army Zhong Wenshao. He seldom appeared in public and specialized in conveying secret messages.
Near midnight, the herald began to feel his way into the main tent, Qin Mian's tent.
At this time, the whole army had begun to rest and recuperate, except for the night patrol team.
Since Lebotet announced the armistice, the Zhenbei Army camp has begun to rest and recuperate, often drinking and celebrating, singing and dancing.
As the commander-in-chief, Qin Mian tacitly allowed his subordinates to celebrate, as long as there were people patrolling and stationed outside the tent to report the situation in a timely manner.
The lights in the main tent had not yet been extinguished, and a slim woman was walking around inside the tent. This woman seemed to be pregnant with a swollen belly.
The woman thoughtfully changed the tea for Qin Mian who was reading the memorial on the desk, and looked at it dreamily from time to time.
At this time, the curtain was pulled up, and a man dressed as a groom came in. Qin Mian recognized him at a glance.
He calmly said to the woman: "Man Zhuo, please go back and rest first."
With just one sentence, the pregnant woman retreated very meekly.
This pregnant woman's name is Lan Manzhuo. She was the concubine chosen by Lu Zhong for Qin Mian. She was the best among the priests in terms of playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing, dancing, cooking tea and pouring wine.
She still looks even more charming, with soft jade and fragrant fragrance. She is also trained to serve others well. She never fights back or scolds her. She is docile and considerate. For a girl like this, in this cold and lonely night, everything goes as she wishes.
Counting the days, Lan Manzhuo's child was already five months old. Lu Zhong was anxious to let Qin Mian give birth to a son so that he could marry his little daughter, so when he was four months old, he invited an expert
, come and take Lan Manzhuo’s pulse.
At that time, the expert was stroking his goatee, looking at him for a full two-quarters of an hour and feeling for his pulse.
In the end, he made a mysterious statement and Lu Zhong believed it. However, Qin Mian thought that this was all a trick of a charlatan and did not believe it.
But as soon as the news spread, everyone said that Qin Mian was going to have an eldest son, and the soldiers even addressed Lan Manzhuo as his wife.
Qin Mian didn't take it seriously and allowed these words to spread in the camp. The women who served him all respected Lan Manzhuo.
Who doesn’t know that there is already a Princess Qi in Kyoto?
After all, Lan Manzhuo was not a concubine who was given a treasure book, or a concubine whom Qin Mian overdid. She was just a serving servant at the moment.
But the soldiers and old women in the camp all unanimously revealed Lan Manzhuo's identity.
Maybe Qin Mian had already made a plan in his heart. After all, Lan Manzhuo's belly was his flesh and blood. When Lin'er was actually born, he might give Lan Manzhuo an identity.
She was born as a priest and was nominally an official prostitute. Logically speaking, she could not join the royal family. Being a concubine was considered a promotion.
Qin Mian must know this very well. He has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he understands these descendants very well.
But the prince didn't nod, and Lan Manzhuo never dared to say it bluntly. She was just a plaything, and being pregnant with the prince's child was already a gift, so how could she dare to make any demands.
Lan Manzhuo has always been docile, and he doesn't even dare to speak loudly. He usually just talks in a gentle and gentle voice. Whenever Qin Mian gets slightly angry, Lan Manzhuo will be scared like a frightened kitten.
Later, Qin Mian didn't get angry in front of Lan Manzhuo, but treated her gently. As time went by, they became two good figures who shared the case with each other.
Now His Majesty has no eldest grandson, and none of the princes can give birth to a son. If Lan Manzhuo's child is really a son, he will be the eldest grandson of the great emperor. Even if he is a concubine, Lan Manzhuo will always be proud of his mother and his son. Maybe he can really succeed.
Bring up a side room lady.
Chu Yunjing, who was thousands of miles away, naturally didn't know about these things. The information was limited. She only knew that her prince's concubine was pregnant.
She was a little unhappy at first, but after that moment, many things happened, and she forgot about it. She completely forgot about this fetus that was pregnant with Liujia and could threaten her future son's status at any time.
Living today, it is common for any husband not to have three wives and four concubines, and no concubines or concubines. But for Chu Yunjing, who lives in a family where the Chu family does not take concubines and the Yuan family is loyal,
How can we accept with peace of mind that the person next to us has another woman in his heart and has a child born to another woman on his knees?
In the main account, the herald kneeled down on one knee with great movement and replied: "Report to Your Highness, His Majesty's secret edict!"
After saying that, Qin Mian presented a hidden scroll. Qin Mian stood up and greeted it with both hands solemnly. After taking it, he held it in his hand and looked it up and down.
He opened the secret edict. There was a piece of paper rolled on a small wooden scroll made of golden nanmu, and the outside was tied with a bright yellow silk thread.
Qin Mian untied the thread, took out the paper with the words on it, and put down the useless wooden scroll.
The secret edict is clearly embossed with the seal of the Imperial Seal, and is also stamped with His Majesty's private seal. It is undoubtedly genuine.
The general meaning of the secret edict sent by His Majesty was to call Qin Mian to lead the advance troops back to the capital secretly, evading all the light and dark sentries, and then send five thousand elite troops back to the capital by separate routes.
Although he didn't know what major event was happening in the capital, he knew that it must be something that threatened His Majesty's imperial power, and there was no one trustworthy in the capital or even the court.
Then they secretly ordered him to return to the capital. If he could not evade the secret sentry, he would even have to evade the open sentry. Maybe his father was now surrounded by enemies from both sides.
This secret edict came faster than the news from Honglou and Suhua. Even before their secret messages reached Qin Mian's hands, His Majesty's secret edict came.
It can be seen that the matter was urgent. Qin Mian no longer stayed and waited for the letter from his spy, but secretly summoned several confidants.
General Li and others were summoned and told him: "Something happened in Kyoto, and I can only return to the capital secretly. Please keep this secret for me, take good care of the camp, and don't let the news leak out. Also!"
The 5,000 elite cavalry of the Wenzhou camp are divided into ten waves and dispersed in various places, rushing to the capital, waiting for the king to leave!"
After all, these generals are people who have experienced life and death with Qin Mian. They are loyal and righteous, and they must carry out Qin Mian's orders without any doubt.
Qin Mian did not go to see Lan Manzhuo before leaving, but only told General Li: "When Manzhuo wakes up tomorrow, the general will inform her and let her do everything as usual, and don't expose the truth. Don't tell more people about my return to the capital."
, so as not to reveal the whereabouts."
After everyone got the order, they went to arrange these things overnight. Qin Mian felt the darkness, took five of his best soldiers and the herald, got on his horse and started on the road.
It's a thousand miles away, and it will take five or six days even if the horse is racing...
On the second day in Kyoto, Chu Yunjing personally smoked medicine for His Majesty in Zhaoyuan Hall.
She held a medicinal stick made by the imperial doctor, and after lighting it, bursts of medicinal smoke emitted. She stuffed the medicinal stick into a cupping pot with an open back, and attached it to the emperor's waist, letting the smoke from the medicine stick smoke the injured area in the cupping pot.
.
The function of this fumigation medicine was to force the poison out of the emperor's body, but others thought it was some kind of fumigation and moxibustion prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor.
Only Chu Yunjing knew the actual effect. Zhou Yang was right and could find out that night. He deliberately made noise in Zhaoyuan Hall, pretending to have an assassin, and then rushed into Zhaoyuan Hall to catch the assassin.
Taking advantage of the chaos, I approached His Majesty and could detect the poison in His body from His breath and expression.
It is an extremely secretive poison that enters the human body and adheres to human bones, making it extremely difficult to detect.
If it weren't for a doctor who specializes in administering and detoxifying poisons, most people would not be able to detect it.
Over time, this poison will destroy a person's bones and disintegrate the person from the bone. Until the bones are completely eroded, the person will die of pain.
No wonder the emperor couldn't get up from the bed for so many days. It turned out that his bones were broken.
Zhou Yang found a way to temporarily maintain his life. The emperor had been poisoned for many years, and the dose each time was so small that it was difficult to detect.
But for many years, the poison has accumulated into the bone marrow, and it may not be cured at all.
What medicine is needed to force it out so that I can live longer.
The medicine strips Chu Yunjing took at this time had this effect, but after all, these things would not cure the disease.
The emperor was repulsive at first, but after repeated attacks by Chu Yunjing and Song Yangshan, his majesty finally couldn't resist the persuasion.
Chu Yunjing gave him the smoke for two days, and it was effective on the first day. He could stand up with someone's support.
Song Yangshan quickly praised the effectiveness of this method. Chu Yunjing thought to himself that this boy Zhou Yang has a way. He always has a lot of such strange things.
As a daughter-in-law, it was not appropriate for her to smoke medicine for her father-in-law without any clothes on. She smoked it twice and then told the royal maid the key points.
The skills were passed on to the maids. Most of these maids were ingenious people and could do everything at once, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Several days passed and His Majesty was able to get out of bed and walk. Song Yangshan praised him like a flatterer because of the effect of the fumigation.
Every time she flattered him, she smiled politely, but after the emperor heard these words, he immediately fell in love with Chu Yunjing.
After running around all night for six days, Qin Mian finally arrived in Kyoto, returning to the place where he was born and raised after eight years of absence.
That night, he was sitting on horseback, looking at the city walls of Kyoto, and was filled with emotion. The place he had desperately wanted to leave so long ago was now back like this.
The high blue brick wall was incomparably indifferent. When he stopped below, he could see the loneliness and loneliness of the city wall. It had protected thousands of generations of people. This city wall was a hero!
They were recalled to Beijing secretly and it was not appropriate to make a big fuss. They found an inn and checked in early, except for Qin Mian who had a separate room.
The remaining few people lived in single rooms for two people, but the herald separated from them before entering the capital and sailed into the imperial city alone.
Think about your Majesty’s report to King Qi about entering the capital!
Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind and the action of that ambitious man...
