Chapter 198: Generosity (2)

The queen looked at this tall man, and became so embarrassed overnight, her eyes were sore, she turned her back, not daring to let the emperor see her tears.

"Zhen..." Emperor Yun Qing gradually regained his composure, he looked at his shoulders trembling and did not dare to look at his queen, "Did I have a stroke?"

"Your Majesty..." The queen wiped away the tears from her eyes, "The imperial doctor said that as long as you rest well, you will be fine."

Emperor Yun Qing closed his eyes, and after a while he tried to calm himself down: "Have someone tell Rong Xia, Zhou Bing'an, Zhang Qihuai, and Zhao Weishen to enter the palace."

Rong Xia is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zhou Bing'an is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Qihuai is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhao Weishen is the Minister of the Ministry of War. These people are all trustworthy people in Emperor Yunqing's heart.

The Queen quickly complied.

As soon as the eunuch who went to announce these adults left, the prince came in. He didn't know what happened in the palace. After the East Palace was surrounded by heavy siege, he felt uneasy all the time, until he saw the emperor and empress. Barely relieved.

"Prince, Your Majesty is not feeling well today. You will temporarily help His Majesty supervise the country." The Queen did not mention how seriously ill Emperor Yunqing was. "If there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask His Majesty for advice."

"Father, what's the matter with you?" The prince was not excited when he heard Jian Guo, but looked at Emperor Yun Qing with concern, "It's because my son is unfilial, and he didn't know that Father was unwell." His eyes were red, and he looked Looking at the emperor lying on the bed, he felt extremely guilty.

"I have nothing to do, but the imperial doctor said that I need to rest." The emperor spoke very slowly, he wanted to make his words sound clearer, "I have summoned several important ministers in the court, after you take charge of the country, you must have a good relationship with them." Sirs should not be reckless when discussing state affairs."

"Father, my son and minister are not half as good as you, how can you do the job of supervising the country?" The prince shook his head again and again, "Get better soon."

If the prince spoke like this normally, the emperor would only think that he was weak and incompetent, but at this time, he found this son very pleasing to the eye, because this son trusted him wholeheartedly, and he didn't even care about the matter of supervising the country. Feeling happy, he asked the prince a few more words, some things he was unwilling to say to the prince before.

When Wang De came in, he said that all the adults had arrived, so the emperor asked the queen and the crown prince to help him sit up, and then asked someone to tidy up his appearance, barely maintaining the majesty of the emperor, and then asked Wang De to declare these few days. personal.

The mornings in April and May were not too cold, but they got up from the bed in a hurry, and even put on their clothes in a hurry. The adults were not too comfortable. And seeing the three-step one sentry, the five-step one post in the palace, the guards are all carrying knives at their waists, with their hands on the handles of the knives, they guessed that something happened in the palace.

Rong Xia, the youngest of the four, walked last, and the other three wanted to ask him a few words, but under the surveillance of countless pairs of eyes around them, they couldn't turn around and open their mouths, so they could only bite the bullet and went outside the Great Moon Palace.

The guards of the Great Moon Palace were even stricter, and the four of them stood side by side under the watchful eyes of the guards. Zhou Bingan turned his head and glanced at Rong Xia, who knew that Rong Xia didn't even raise his eyelids. The veteran felt ashamed.

"Lord Zhou, Lord Rong, Lord Zhao, and Lord Zhang, the emperor welcomes you." Wang De came out, saluted the four of them, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you." Seeing Wang De's serious expression and the corners of his mouth tightly pursed, Zhou Bingan complained inwardly. This is not just a big deal, it's probably a heinous thing.

When the four of them entered the room, they could smell a strong smell of medicine. The eunuchs and court ladies knelt down the entire room, the prince and queen stood beside the dragon bed, and the emperor...was still sitting and lying down. Although they looked fine, their slightly unnatural expressions, cloudy eyes and slightly crooked mouth made them secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

This is not good, Your Majesty.

Jingting Mansion.

Banhua woke up from her sleep, turned around and saw that it was still dark outside, and fell back into the bed again. But for some reason, she tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. She didn't fall asleep until it was dark.

"Huahua."

"Huahua."

Banhua opened his eyes, looked at the old man sitting by the bed, and threw himself into her arms: "Grandma, why are you here?"

"Let me take a look at you," the Eldest Princess stroked the top of her head lovingly, and said with a smile, "Grandmother is happy today."

Ban Hua was tired in the arms of the Eldest Princess, and asked curiously, "What are you happy about?"

The eldest princess smiled without saying a word, just patted her on the back lightly, as if coaxing a little baby. Banhua felt that her grandmother's arms were soft and fragrant, and she was so dizzy that she wanted to fall asleep.

"I went back with your grandfather."

In a daze, she heard what her grandmother said.

Strange, didn't my grandfather go west long ago, why did my grandmother go back with my grandfather?

go west?

Ban Hua suddenly opened her eyes, it was already bright outside, she sat up from the bed, rubbed the center of her brows with a wry smile. She really thinks about it every day and dreams at night. Yesterday at Duke Cheng's mansion, she heard the old man mention her grandmother, and she dreamed of her old man.

"Princess, are you awake?"

Banhua clapped his hands when he heard the maid's voice.

The maids heard the clapping and came in with washing utensils. While Banhua was rinsing his mouth, Ruyi whispered, "Princess, someone came from the palace just now, and asked the Duke to go to court."

Banhua spat out the water in his mouth, wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Isn't father still keeping his filial piety?"

"Your servant doesn't know either," Ruyi shook her head, "But Madam said, when you wake up, go to the main courtyard."

"I see," Ban Hua nodded. After changing her clothes and combing her hair, she took the maid to the main courtyard. She got up late, and Yin Shi and Ban Heng were already sitting at the table. Seeing her coming in, Yin Shi didn't let her salute, and let her sit down directly.

"I'm afraid something serious happened in the palace." Yin took a sip of tea and said to her two children, "You two should stay at home peacefully and avoid going out for the past two days. Let's see how the situation develops first."

"What's going on?" Banhua looked around, but didn't see his father, "I just heard from Ruyi that someone from the palace announced that his father will go to court?"

"Yeah," Yin nodded, and then said, "Just now, the Minister of the Ministry of War sent someone to spread the news, saying that something is not right in the palace, let us pay attention."

Zhao Weishen, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, received the favor of the old man of the Ban family in the early years. Although the two families have not had any contact on the surface these years, when they encounter important events in private, he will still send someone to secretly pass the news, so that the Ban family will not know anything and cause trouble. Disaster comes.
