Chapter Eighteen: No?

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The entrance to Prince Tan's Mansion.

When she got off the carriage, Mrs. Wang had already restored her dignity and dignity as a princess.

However, anyone who knows her well can see that there is a look of joy in the corners of the empress's eyes and eyebrows.

The sun is really coming out in the west!

In the past, although the prince and the empress were harmonious, there was always something between them.

I have never seen my empress smile with such an unfurled brow.

What's going on today?

Liu Huan, Wang's personal maid, had sharp eyes. When she helped her master get out of the car, she saw her slightly messy gold hairpin and bun.

Looking at Wang's wrinkled clothes, her mouth widened in surprise.

No way?

She had been waiting outside just now and didn't hear any movement...

Speaking of which, this is still Zhu Qiyu's fault.

Mrs. Wang was just too tired to hold back her sleepiness, so she lay down and took a nap for a while.

Even if the hair is pressed into a bun, it is only slightly deformed and a few strands of hair are scattered.

As a result, he was doing this in the carriage.

Not only has it not gotten better, but it has become even more messy.

There was no mirror in the carriage, so Mr. Wang couldn't see her own appearance.

In addition, I felt my husband's sudden change. I blushed and my heart beat for a moment. I didn't care too much and hurriedly got out of the car.

At this moment, seeing Liu Huan's surprised look, he was still a little confused.

Afterwards, Liu Huan took out the small mirror he carried with him and asked Mr. Wang to take a look.

How could she not know what these people were thinking?

His face turned red at that moment, and he hurriedly ran into the house without caring that Zhu Qiyu hadn't gotten out of the car yet.

So when Zhu Qiyu got out of the car, the only people he saw were Xing'an and Cheng Jing.

The boy Xing'an still looked worried and said.

"My lord, you are recovering from a serious illness, but you still need to pay attention to your body and bones. No matter how tightly you wrap yourself in the carriage, it will still be ventilated. No matter how cold it is, it will not be good..."

What is this all about?

Zhu Qiyu got out of the car and slapped Xing'an hard on the back of the head.

This kid is becoming more and more courageous.

Even his own master dares to make fun of him!

Cheng Jing, on the other hand, seemed more steady, said.

"Your Majesty, it's windy here, so it's best to return home as soon as possible."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and escorted a group of maids into Prince Xi's Mansion.

When he was about to enter, he specifically asked Cheng Jing to withdraw all the security guards around him.

In the Nuan Pavilion, a charcoal fire has been set up, and it is warm.

Under the wait of a group of maids, Zhu Qiyu changed out of his formal court shirt and boots, put on a comfortable and soft broad brocade robe and soft cloud shoes, and sat down on the thick couch.

The people below quickly brought up the prepared warm meals and tea and medicinal soups.

Zhu Qiyu took some medicinal food and drank the decoction.

After running around for a long time, his face, which looked a little pale, gradually turned rosy.

At this time, Mrs. Wang also dressed up again and took her maid into the Nuan Pavilion.

In addition to her, Hang also followed.

As for the two children in the palace, because they were too young, they were still afraid of getting over the illness, so they were taken care of by their aunts, so they were not brought over.

The Hang family was a concubine of the royal family and gave birth to the eldest son of the royal family.

Zhu Qiyu usually dotes on her very much.

This time, although I didn't cry when I came here, I still looked very pitiful.

But at this time, Zhu Qiyu had no intention of talking to her.

It's not that he thinks anything of her.

But with his past life experience, he knew in his heart that Hang only had a good appearance and would panic when big things happened.

In the current situation, he couldn't make a wrong move. He really didn't want to spend too much time on the Hang family.

After a few words of comfort to her, Zhu Qiyu sent Hang back to the side courtyard.

But Wang did stay.

With the hand stove he had just replaced on his hand, Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes and rested for a while, finally regaining his energy.

He turned to Cheng Jing and asked, "During the long time that I have been in the palace, has anything happened outside?"

Cheng Jing obviously had already prepared the draft and said immediately.

"When the prince entered the palace, it happened to be the time when the palace doors were wide open and the officials from the six departments entered the squad room to guard the palace."

"It didn't take long for the courtiers to discover that the nine gates of the capital were under martial law. In addition, the officials of the Ministry of War discovered that there were officers and soldiers holding the orders of the Minister of War, and sealed the inside and outside of the Ministry of War, strictly prohibiting entry and exit. The officers of other ministries

We also discovered that Prime Minister Otsuka, Lord Soken, and other important officials of the imperial court did not come to the ministry early in the morning, but were summoned into the palace."

"Several pieces of information have been confirmed, and there are various rumors outside. Most of them are speculations that something happened to my army outside."

Zhu Qiyu sighed.

This is a matter of course.

The nine gates were under martial law, the military headquarters was sealed off, and important ministers were summoned.

Taken together, the movement is so huge that it is impossible to hide it even if you want to.

The most important thing in the capital right now is the emperor's personal conquest.

If it hadn't been for the army's accident, there would have been no such tension inside and outside the palace.

But I'm afraid no one can imagine that the losses in this defeat exceed everyone's imagination...

Glancing at Cheng Jing who was slightly curious, Zhu Qiyu said quietly.

"I don't know what the rumors are..."

"But come to think of it, a detailed military report will arrive in Beijing in the next two days. Our Ming Dynasty's army of more than 200,000 people was surrounded and killed by the enemy in Tumubao. There were heavy casualties. The emperor... was taken prisoner!"

Xing'an followed Zhu Qiyu into the palace, so he knew about this a long time ago.

But Cheng Jing stayed outside the palace and was as ignorant as the other ministers.

When I suddenly heard the news, I was naturally in disbelief and was stunned on the spot.

Wang's reaction was not much better, and she could barely hold the cup in her hand.

Zhu Qiyu ignored them and continued.

"When this king entered the palace, the Queen Mother had already summoned a group of ministers to discuss matters, and finally decided on a charter..."

"I will temporarily take charge of the general affairs in the capital, and stick to the capital. At the same time, I will appoint the crown prince as soon as possible."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Wang and Cheng Jing opposite.

I saw that their expressions were different.

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, then there was a hint of worry between her brows. She bit her lower lip, seeming hesitant to speak.

Cheng Jing's face was a bit complicated, looking worried and excited at the same time.

After a while, Wang said.

"Since the prince has to participate in court affairs, he will inevitably lose his energy. I will go into the palace later to see if I can ask my mother to talk to the Queen Mother. I will find two imperial doctors to stay in the palace and find some good medicinal materials.

In order to prevent the prince from getting sick again after his recovery."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, but did not refuse.

Mr. Wang has this kind of temperament. He clearly cares about his body, but when he speaks, he is a little less tactful.

In the previous life, it was also for this reason that the two of them were never close enough when talking.

It's just that the Zhu Qiyu of today is not the young and energetic Zhu Qiyu of the past.

I knew her good intentions in my heart, so I agreed.

"There is no need to be in such a hurry. I just went to see my mother-in-law today. If you are free, you can go to the mother-in-law's palace more often on weekdays."

Speaking of the Wu family, Zhu Qiyu's heart moved.

He talked a lot with Wu in Jingyang Palace and once again understood something deeply.

His mother-in-law.

No simple character!

It seems elegant and peaceful, but in fact it contains a sharp edge.

The Wang family is different from the Wu family. She acts upright and firm, but lacks a bit of skill and energy to move a thousand pounds.

Let her go to the palace more often and get close to the Wu family, maybe things will improve.

However, he still had to find an opportunity to talk to his mother and concubine about this matter.

Mrs. Wang didn't know why, but she could tell that Zhu Qiyu's attitude towards her was different from before. She felt a touch of joy in her heart and responded obediently.

So Zhu Qiyu turned his head and said.

"Cheng Jing, please continue..."
