Chapter 194 Cloud Rises (2)

Knowing that Chen Yu was ambushed by horse thieves, the prince was furious. He slapped the imperial case and said, "It's lawless." .

Yu Xiang stood upright with Uncle Song Guo, while the other important ministers lowered their heads to minimize their presence, hoping not to be noticed by the prince.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the prince became more and more annoyed, but soon he calmed down and asked: "Uncle, Prime Minister Yu, I don't know how you think this matter should be handled?" Although he doubted Ji Xuan, he had no evidence .

Uncle Song Guo said calmly: "The governor of the Northwest is not a show, let Ji Xuan go and investigate to see who has such courage."

Yu Xiang said: "I think we should send imperial envoys to investigate this matter thoroughly. Taining Hou Shizi was ambushed several times before he arrived in Lanzhou. It is conceivable that some officials must have colluded with bandits and horse thieves, otherwise they How did you get the news and dare to kill Taining Hou Shizi?"

As soon as these words fell, many officials present wished there was a hole in the ground. If they got into the hole, they would not be seen by the prince, and they would not get such an errand.

Before the prince could think of a candidate for the imperial envoy, he saw his confidant eunuch rushing in and said, "Your Highness, the emperor suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't wake up." Empress Dowager Guo. Queen Mother Guo is not only beautiful, but also very scheming. When Guangzong ascended the throne, Queen Mother Guo was still alive, and Guangzong was still very diligent at that time. Get up before dawn every day, and then review the memorials honestly, and rarely even go to the harem. Unfortunately, Queen Mother Guo passed away in the seventh year of Emperor Guangzong's accession to the throne.

Once Queen Mother Guo died, no one could suppress Emperor Guangzong anymore, and Guangzong's lustful and lustful nature was revealed. Every day, she is full of beauties, and as for the government, she doesn't want to get involved at all, and all of them are pushed to Yu Xiang and his favorite concubine Song's brother, who is now Uncle Song. This also caused Yu Xiang and Uncle Song Guo to control the government and make the prince a puppet.

The prince dropped what he was doing and hurried to the harem. Now the harem is all Guangzong's concubines. In order to avoid suspicion, the prince handles government affairs in the former court on weekdays, and returns to the East Palace for rest at night. Unless his mother concubine Song Guifei summoned him, he would not set foot in the harem on weekdays, for fear of being suspected of being under the melon field.

When the prince arrived at the harem, the emperor had already woken up. The imperial doctor Rong was diagnosing the emperor's pulse. After a while, he said that Guangzong had an evil wind entering his body, and then prescribed a prescription: "Your Majesty, after taking the medicine, you must calmly cultivate your body. If you want to maintain a healthy body, you must ignore everything. It's not appropriate to work hard."

The emperor felt very uncomfortable this time, and he was no longer afraid when he heard that the doctor Rong said it was not a serious illness. On the contrary, the crown prince was careful, and went outside and asked, "Doctor Rong, how is your father's condition?" He always felt that there was something in what doctor Rong said.

With Emperor Guangzong, Imperial Physician Rong dared not speak too directly. Now that he is facing the crown prince, Imperial Physician Rong is no longer cryptic, and said: "Your Majesty is afraid of the wind, has a fever, his pulse is deep and thin, his face is flushed as Dai Yang, and the evil enters the kidneys, causing pain in the waist and abdomen..." Guangzong said Disease, in fact, is caused by excessive sexual intercourse. In the past, I was young and had a good foundation, so I let it go. Over the years, the body has long been weak and the age is getting older. People who are all forty or fifty yuan are naturally failing in all aspects of the body. If I can be pure-hearted, stop obsessing with beauty and take good care of myself in the future, I can live a few more years. But if it continues like this, the gods will be hard to save.

The prince's complexion is ugly, if this matter is leaked out, when his father dies, he will have to bear a reputation of lewdness and lewdness.

The news of the emperor's illness was soon known by well-informed people in the capital, but because the emperor didn't care about things, it didn't cause any turmoil.

Han Jianming and Mr. Zhao said: "The emperor has indulged in beauty all these years, and his body has long been hollowed out.

In the past two years, it was often reported that the emperor was in poor health, and this coma is probably because his body can no longer bear it. Emperor, it may not be long. "

Mr. Zhao said: "If the prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, the structure of the court may change." Being a prince is not the same concept as being an emperor.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "The government has been controlled by Prime Minister Yu and Uncle Song Guo, so what changes can be made. However, if the crown prince ascends the throne, I think Yan Wushuang, who has been hiding in the dark, may show up." After so many years of investigation, except to confirm Yan Wushuang was indeed not dead, he was hiding in a dark place, and no other information was found. Where this person is hiding now, what to do, nothing is known.

Mr. Zhao said: "If it wasn't for Heshou County Lord last time, the prince would have died. If he wants to make another move this time, he will definitely find the most suitable time."

Han Jianming thought for a long time, and said, "Let's put this matter aside for the time being, and we'll talk about it after the crown prince ascends the throne." At that time, it will depend on the situation before deciding whether to tell the prince that Yan Wushuang is still alive. The prince must be very clear about what he has done. If he knew that Yan Wushuang was still alive, he would definitely take action. At that time, Yan Wushuang couldn't hide even if he wanted to.

Han Gao walked in and said, "My lord, Yucheng has delivered a letter." In addition to the letter, he also sent a New Year's gift back. But Yuxi was worried that too many things would attract people's eyes, so she only packed two boxes. In addition to some precious medicinal materials purchased from the West Sea, there are also some special products in the Northwest. It is also because there are few things, and the person who brought the things back pretended to be an ordinary person, so he returned to the capital smoothly.

Han Jianming received the letter and said, "Send the things to the old lady's yard." This was the second time Yuxi sent things back, and the first time was the jade stones.

After reading the letter, Han Jianming's expression turned ugly. The person who was chosen to be by Yu Xi's side that day had to be carefully considered and then considered, for fear that some tricks would sneak into Yu Xi's side, but unexpectedly, something went wrong in the end. Fortunately, no harm was done, otherwise all his efforts would have been in vain. However, those sent to the Northwest must be thoroughly checked again, so that no mistakes can be made.

Seeing these things Yuxi sent, Qiu said with a smile: "This girl, why don't you keep some good things and send them back to the capital? This capital still lacks these things." As long as you have money in the capital, it's nothing Things can't be bought. On the contrary, in the remote place of Yucheng, there are many things that money can't buy.

Mother Li smiled and said: "This is also the filial piety of the fourth aunt's mother-in-law." Yuxi sent few things, and no one made a fuss about it. Thinking of her old lady, she sent a lot of things, but most of them were taken away. However, Yuxi sent few things, but had frequent correspondence with the Duke's Mansion, with an average of one letter a month.

Qiu Shi just said a few words, but she was still very happy in her heart: "There should be something for Yuchen in here, pick them out and send them to Prince Jing's Mansion." Also opinion. After all, they are sisters who grew up together since childhood, and their relationship has always been very close. If Yuxi ignores Yuchen from now on, it will make her worry.

Mother Li found a box from the box and said, "I don't know what it is, it's so heavy." The box is not big, but it has enough weight.

Qiu didn't ask anyone to open it, and said: "There are ten times nine are jade." Qiu's words are also well-founded, because she knows that Yuchen's favorite is jade, followed by pearls, gold, silver, precious stones, etc. Things feel average. Since Yuxi wants to give Yuchen a gift, she naturally wants to give Yuchen what she likes.

After an hour, the things were delivered to Prince Jing's Mansion. Yuchen opened the box and saw a piece of jade the size of two Cheng Ren's fists in the box. This piece of jade is fine and pure, without any blemishes, and its color is an extremely pure, bright and uniform emerald green color.

Seeing such a beautiful piece of jade, a smile appeared on Yuchen's face. She was reluctant to use such top-quality jade as a decoration, and planned to use it as jewelry.

Seeing this, Nanny Gui couldn't help but said: "This is the best jadeite. The fourth aunt's mother is really a big deal." Such a big jadeite of the best quality costs tens of thousands of taels of silver, and even if you have money, you can't buy it. of.

Yuchen said with a smile: "The last time I gave you Hetian Baiyu, this time I gave you Laokeng Liuli. I don't know what beautiful jade the fourth sister will send back next time?"

Nanny Gui said: "The Western Regions are rich in beautiful jade, so it shouldn't be difficult to find some top-quality jade." With Yunqing's current status, it is not difficult for Yuxi to find those top-quality jade.

Yuchen smiled and said: "Cannibal's mouth is short, but people's hands are short. If you have got so many good things, if you ask for something. If you don't agree, you can't justify it." After finishing speaking, Yuchen put the letter under the jade stone Take it out and take it apart.

After reading the letter, Yuchen was stunned.

Seeing this, Nanny Gui hurriedly asked: "Princess, is the fourth aunt begging you to do something difficult?" It's no wonder that he sent such a top-quality jadeite, so it turned out that he really wanted something.

Yuchen shook his head, handed the letter to Nanny Gui, and said, "No." In the letter, Yuxi wrote about trivial matters at home, and Zaozao wrote the most. big. Crying can deafen someone's ears, and hitting someone can hurt you for a while. Although Yuxi complained repeatedly in the letter, it is not difficult to see that Yuxi, a mother, is enjoying it.

Nanny Gui was also taken aback for a moment, and then said: "I don't know if this letter is sincere, or if Fourth Aunt's mother wrote it on purpose?" No way, Yuxi left Nanny Gui with the feeling that she was a person with deep thoughts. Therefore, no matter what happened, she speculated on Yuxi with the greatest malice.

Yuchen shook his head helplessly, and said, "You have too much prejudice against Yuxi." If Yuxi begged her for something, she would definitely think too much. Now it's just an ordinary letter from home, and it's all about family affairs, so why do you have ulterior motives!

Nanny Gui said: "Princess, it's not that I have too much prejudice against my fourth aunt, but that my fourth aunt has been a successful person since she was a child." A six-year-old child has such deep thoughts. It's terrible, and I have to guard against it.

Yuchen smiled, and stopped discussing this topic with Nanny Gui. Nanny Gui's prejudice against Yu Xi won't change just because of her few words, so she doesn't bother to say any more. (to be continued)
