Chapter 522 Zhou Jing's Death

In the garden, chrysanthemums are vying for beauty. The red ones are like fire, the pink ones are like clouds, and the white ones are like snow. They are so beautiful that people will never forget to return.

Looking at the beautiful scenery, Yuchen said with a smile: "It's a pity that I can't be tired now, otherwise I will definitely paint this beautiful scenery."

Nanny Gui said: "Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself!" Imperial Physician Le has already diagnosed Yuchen, and this time she is pregnant with twins. Nanny Gui hopes to have twins like the first time. In this way, the position in Yan Wangfu will be higher.

Yuchen smiled lightly: "I know." Since the three months, unless it rains, Yuchen has to go out for a walk every day. After knowing that she was pregnant with twins, the time for walking every day changed from one time to three times.

At this moment, the death knell of the palace rang. Yuchen didn't wait to finish listening, and said with a changed face: "Let's go back quickly." No need to guess, it must be Zhou Jing who died.

Back in the house, Yuchen changed into mourning clothes. After changing his clothes, Yuchen said to himself: "I don't know what happened to Yan'er?" Zhou Jing died, and his son, as the emperor's younger brother, must be enthroned as emperor. It will still fall back into the hands of the son. It's just that Yuchen is not happy this time, but worried. Before Zhou Jing came to the capital, he was always in good health, but after he ascended the throne as the emperor, he began to fall asleep for no reason. What was even more shocking was that the imperial physician couldn't even find out the cause of the disease. Although there is no evidence, Yuchen is sure that there is something wrong with this matter.

Nanny Gui said: "There are so many people around His Highness, nothing will happen." Nanny Gui could see clearly that after so many things, Zhou Yan was no longer the Zhou Yan before. It's just that in the mind of his master, Zhou Yan is still a child.

It turns out that when the emperor died, anyone who had an order had to go to mourning. Yuchen is Yan Wushuang's side concubine, and she was going to cry at the funeral. But because he was pregnant, he stayed at the house to have a baby and did not go to the palace. Moreover, her current status is embarrassing, and going to the palace is not very good for Zhou Yan.

Yuchen didn't go, but he was very concerned about the affairs of the court. Since Yuchen's pregnancy was stable, she and Nanny Gui have not been restricted as much as before. Now Nanny Gui can also find out some news.

Nanny Gui said: "The ministers all suggested keeping everything simple, and the prince and His Highness both agreed." Although Zhou Yan was only a child under seven years old, he was the emperor's younger brother and the legal heir, so such a thing, in the face of I also asked Zhou Yan for his opinion.

Yuchen said with some concern: "This funeral is a tossing, I don't know if Yan'er can bear it!"

Seeing that Yuchen was going through the clothes, Nanny Gui hurriedly said, "Ma'am, there are so many people around His Highness who will be able to take good care of him."

Although Zhou Jing's funeral was said to be simple, the emperor's burial was tiring even if it was simplified by half. After guarding the spirit for three days, Zhou Yan couldn't bear it and fainted.

After seeing Zhou Jing, the imperial doctor said: "My lord, Your Highness is overworked, and your body is weak, so you fainted."

Yan Wushuang sneered when he heard what Zixu said. Every day, he was well-clothed and well-fed, but his foundation was still weak. All those good things were fed into the dog's belly.

Yan Wushuang ordered Meng Nian: "Replace all the people who serve Zhou Yan." They must all be replaced by their people.

Meng Nian asked, "My lord, do you suspect that Zhou Yan was responsible for Zhou Jing's death?" It was not so much Yan Wushuang's suspicion as his. When Zhou Jing was in a coma, there was only Zhou Yan in the room and no one else. Therefore, Meng Nian believed that Zhou Yan should be responsible for Zhou Jing's inexplicable illness. It's just that there is no evidence, everything is speculation.

Yan Wushuang said: "Whether he did or not is not important, the important thing is that we must know every word and deed of Zhou Yan in the future." Yan Wushuang didn't care about Zhou Jing's life or death.

But if Zhou Yan dared to act like a ghost under his nose, then he would definitely not go around.

Meng Nian nodded and said, "I know."

After a moment of silence, Meng Nian said, "My lord, for Zhou Jing's death, the funeral will cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver." This is still a simple expense. If it is grand and grand, it cannot be done without millions of dollars. .

Yan Wushuang thought of the windfall that Yunqing got, and asked, "What did Yunqing and Han Yuxi do with that money?"

Meng Nian said with some sighs: "Request the local government to renovate the official roads and build water cellars in some places where drinking water is difficult."

Yan Wushuang grimaced, and said, "So next year there will be a drought in the Northwest, and it will be a big drought." He remembered that Han Yuxi had the ability to predict.

Meng Nian disagreed with Yan Wushuang's words: "My lord, if the Han family knew that there would be a major drought next year, they should have started preparing for it long ago, instead of waiting until they have money." There must be a delay. Therefore, it is not too urgent to build a water cellar.

After a pause, Meng Nian said, "My lord, although many of Han's behaviors are indeed unreasonable, I don't believe that she has any predictive ability. If she had the predictive ability, she wouldn't be in danger again and again. .”

Yan Wushuang said: "People like them can't predict their own affairs. Just like fortune tellers, they never tell their own fortunes. It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't calculate their own fate."

Meng Nian shook his head and said, "So what about the battle five years ago that almost killed Yun Qing? Can't Han Yuxi dream of natural disasters, but not the disasters of himself and those close to him?"

Yan Wushuang understood the meaning of Meng Nian's words: "You don't believe that Han Yuxi has the ability to predict?" The two had not discussed this issue before.

Meng Nian shook his head and said: "This year, there is little rain in the northwest, and people in many places have difficulty drinking water. Before that, there was no mention of building water cellars. In addition, building water cellars or building dams and canals is because the northwest is a dry land. She's doing this to change what's going on in the Northwest today."

After hearing this, Yan Wushuang said after a while, "Meng Nian, you admire her very much!"

Meng Nian smiled and said, "My lord, don't you admire her?" After Han Yuxi took power, everything he did was for the people of the Northwest, without any selfishness. Regardless of his hostile identity, Han Yuxi's actions deserve his admiration.

Yan Wushuang's eyes were a bit complicated, and after a while he said: "It's a pity that Han Yuxi is a woman." Han Yuxi grew up at an astonishing speed, but Yunqing was standing still, and there would definitely be a situation where women are strong and men are weak, and at that time , maybe the husband and wife will turn against each other. Of course, this is what he expected, and even hoped that it would happen soon.

Meng Nian said: "My lord, you are wrong. We should be glad that the Han family is a woman, otherwise the Northwest will be better than it is now." Because of the identity of the Han family's women, those knowledgeable people who claim their status disdain to go to the Northwest for refuge. . If it was a man, everyone would not have this concern.

"Acha..." Yuxi sneezed several times in succession.

Seeing this, Yun Qing was a little worried that Yu Xi had caught a cold, so he hurriedly ordered Licorice and said, "Go ask Dr. He to come over and show the princess."

Yu Xi said with a smile: "I didn't catch a cold, I'm in good health! Maybe someone is talking about me, but I don't know whether it's good or bad." After finishing speaking, Yu Xi touched her round belly again.

Yun Qing said: "You are almost eight months old now, you can't be careless." The more you are at this time, the more you must pay attention.

Dr. He came over to diagnose Yuxi and found that there was no problem: "My lord, don't worry, my concubine didn't catch a cold. Both adults and children are fine." Speaking of it, Dr. He found it amazing that the princess has been pregnant for more than half a month now, and she has not even caught a cold. No headaches.

Yu Xi coquettishly said: "It's fine, you're the one who made a fuss." After speaking, she asked Licorice to send Dr. He out.

Yun Qing said: "Be careful that the boat can sail for thousands of years."

Licorice turned back and said: "My lord, my concubine, Mrs. Xu said that Emperor Jing passed away four days ago." The news this time is a bit behind.

This news did not cause any disturbance to the couple. Yu Xi said: "Zhou Jing is dead, then Zhou Yan will take over." Thinking of Yu Chen's current status, Yu couldn't help shaking her head.

Seeing this, Yun Qing asked, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong with Zhou Yan?" Zhou Yan was only seven years old this year, and even if he ascended the throne, he couldn't find the palm of Yan Wushuang's hand.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "There is nothing wrong with Zhou Yan, I just thought of the third sister. Zhou Yan became the emperor, and her status will be even more embarrassing." If Yuchen hadn't remarried to Yan Wushuang, she would soon become the queen mother, But now she can only be Yan Wushuang's concubine.

Yun Qing didn't care about this, and said: "No one is forcing her to marry. If she doesn't want to remarry, there are ways." After all, Han Yuchen is still greedy for life and afraid of death.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "Your words are unfair. Yuchen is a mother, how can she leave without having a child!" She doesn't know whether Yuchen is greedy for life or afraid of death, but she knows that as a mother, she will do her best Protect your children.

Yun Qing frowned and said: "The problem is that she is still pregnant. The child born in the future will be the enemy of Zhou Yan." Yan Wushuang is Zhou Yan's enemy, so Yan Wushuang's son is naturally his enemy .

Yuxi smiled wryly and said: "I don't know what third sister thinks." If it was her, even if she had to make a compromise for the sake of the child and marry the murderer of her husband, she would definitely not have children for him. Unfortunately, she is pregnant and has to find a way to get rid of it. In this way, the future troubles of brotherly killing each other will be eliminated.

Hearing Yu Xi's words, Yun Qing remembered what happened three years ago, and said, "I remember when I led troops to rebel, you said at that time that if something happened to me, you would not live alone."

Yuxi rolled her eyes at Yunqing, and said: "You're not old yet, your memory will get worse. I said at that time that if you have any troubles, I will take the two children to the underground to reunite with you. Although doing so It’s selfish, but at least the child doesn’t have to suffer. Like Zhou Yan, even if he becomes the emperor, he’s just a puppet without dignity and ZìYóu.” At that time, she would have such thoughts because she was unable to protect the child well. If it were now, she would have the ability to protect the child, so she wouldn't make such a selfish decision.

Yun Qing knew in his heart that Yu Xi would really do this if he died. Yun Qing embraced Yu Xi lightly and said, "Fortunately, it succeeded." (To be continued)
