Two hundred and fifty-six: the death of the princess
Wen Wan looked at Xia Yao as if she was injured. Wen Wan would believe it. But if she was too scared because of the assassination, she has not recovered now. Who are you lying? Ling Ling is not a person who has never seen the scene before. How could she be frightened by someone assassination?
Xia Yao said innocently: "This is the news from the East Palace. I don't know what's going on. In addition, the news from the East Palace also said that Ling Ling was seriously injured."
Wen Wan did not continue to hum and said, "I don't know who released this bad news." This kind of trick is too naive. Of course, no matter who released the news, as long as it is not Ling Ling himself.
Xia Yao smiled and said, "It's Ling Yuan. The news released by Ling Yuan said that Ling Ling was frightened and fainted because she was too frightened." Ling Yuan did this to help Ling Ling build a reputation for being timid and afraid of things. Ling Yuan's purpose was not to mention, but he helped Ling Ling. Ling Ling is so young now, and it may not be a good thing to spread the reputation of being timid and afraid of things.
Xia Yao believed what Wen Wan said. Ling Xi now must learn to protect herself and grow up in constant struggles. Only in this way can we get the emperor's recognition and love it. Ling Xi now is too small, and staking power too early will only make the emperor feel bored. As Wen Wan said, the emperor does not allow anyone to covet the chair under his butt.
Wenwan arrived at the East Palace and rushed directly to Lingxi's villa. Seeing Lingxi's face a little pale, she felt very distressed. Xia Yao said that Lingxi was not injured, but Wenwan still asked worriedly, "Does it hurt?"
Ling Ling shook her head and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine. I just twisted my foot. The imperial physician said it would be fine if I keep it for two days." It was just some skin trauma, which was not enough to be afraid.
Wen Wan called the imperial physician over, and heard that the imperial physician said that he had sprained his foot and there was no other way, so she felt relieved. Then she became worried again. The Eastern Palace is now in chaos inside and outside. This time she encouraged Mrs. Liu to assassinate him. Will she encourage someone to poison next time? This time it is nothing, next time! I don’t know what will happen next time. Wen Wan now feels that the Eastern Palace is really in danger. Ling Xi is here, so it’s like roasting it on the stove!
Wen Wan thought about it and asked everyone in the room to go out. Then she said, "Ling Ling, otherwise, she wouldn't live in the East Palace."
Ling Xi looked at Wen Wan with joy: "Aunt..." Ling Xi thought Wen Wan wanted him to come to the Princess' Mansion. Ling Xi really wanted to go back to the Princess' Mansion. In the Princess' Mansion, he was not worried about being murdered at all. He just needed to study with peace of mind.
Wen Wan touched Ling Ling: "Auntie, the Eastern Palace is so chaotic now. It's safer to live in the palace." Anyway, Yongning Palace is empty, and it's good to let Ling Ling move in.
Ling Ling heard Wen Wan's meaning, and asked him to live in Yongning Palace, and was shocked: "Aunt, that's your palace..." Since the last emperor asked Wen Wan to move into Yongning Palace, Yongning Palace has been Wen Wan's exclusive palace. Even if Wen Wan got married, the emperor still kept it.
Wen Wan smiled softly: "You silly kid. What's yours? But my aunt has to say to your emperor grandfather first, and your emperor grandfather agreed to do it."
Ling Ling was just surprised, but now she suddenly woke up. Her eyes were red: "Aunt..." Aunt was paving the way for her, and suddenly he didn't know what to say. When facing her, he often didn't know what to say.
Wen Wan smiled and said, "Silly child, although my aunt is a little biased, she doesn't love you as much as Mingrui and Mingjin, and she has always been strict with you. However, if you can do it, your aunt will do it for you. The rest depends on yourself." Yongning Palace is so close to Yanghe Palace. As long as Ling Ling seizes the opportunity, it is still easier to get the emperor's love. As long as the emperor's love is the emperor, the future will be smooth.
Ling Ling nodded straight. No matter how much gratitude and emotion is, he can only keep it in his heart. He must go on this road and has no choice. Otherwise, he will be suppressed by others for the rest of his life and will never be able to stand out.
Wen Wan was still very pleased to see Ling Ling wake up so quickly: "Ling Ling Ling, you must firmly keep your aunt's words and never play tricks in front of your emperor's grandfather. Otherwise, you will never have a chance. Remember." People who are emperors, especially those like the emperor's uncle, have become Sun Wukong's ignorant eyes. Thinking about the little tricks she played under the emperor's grandfather's nose, the emperor's grandfather knew it clearly, but he felt it was harmless and followed her. But now the emperor's uncle is different. Compared with the emperor's grandfather, the emperor's uncle has more suspicion and a smaller mind. Therefore, this beard must never be touched. Because after touching it, no one knows what unimaginable consequences will happen. If you lose your holy heart, what else can you argue about whether to fight or not.
Ling Ling nodded quickly: "Don't worry, aunt, I will keep it in mind." This sentence is not the first time Wen Wan said it. She has reminded him many times before. Ling Ling can already recite it.
Wenwan nodded, and then talked with Ling Xi and went out. When she went out, she first went to visit the prince. When the prince saw Wen Wan's anxious look, Wenwan sighed in her heart. It was still not until this time, but Wenwan didn't know what to say.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on the prince. If the crown prince's position as the crown prince is deposed, their family will be really honored and raised. If the emperor dies before him, he will become a thorn in the eyes of the new emperor. The whole family will not be protected. Wen Wan is a bystander, so she can speak so easily. But as the person involved, who can make people feel at ease?
Wenwan said a few words to the prince and went to see the princess again.
When the Crown Princess saw Wen Wan, she kept saying thanks to Wen Wan for coming to see Ling Ling. Xia Yao and Xia Ying both wanted to roll their eyes behind her back.
Wen Wan didn't care about these things, but asked her to take good care of her health. No matter how much she said, Wen Wan didn't want to say anything. After all, Hai Ruyu was too cruel. In the Eastern Palace, there were only two descendants of Ling Xi and Ling Yuan, and these two children were all born by her. Although not everyone was the poisonous hands of Hai Ruyu, this result still made Wen Wan feel scared.
This assassination came very suddenly. Ling Ling was able to avoid it. On the one hand, it was blamed for Ling Ling's practice of martial arts and her reaction was very fast, and on the other hand, the guards around her were also extremely sensitive. Otherwise, it would be possible that this woman would have successfully attacked. The root of all this lies in Hai Ruyu. It is said that one repays one after another, and what you owe must be paid back.
Seeing Wen Wan saying a few words and leaving, Hai Ruyu finally couldn't hold back and held Wen Wan's hand and said, "Wenwan, for the sake of our acquaintances for so many years, I beg me to protect Ling Yuan and Sister Tong, okay? Wenwan, even if I beg you."
Hai Ruyu had already entered the internal organs. The imperial physician said that she could survive for three or five years after resting, but the queen was gone and she was tortured for a while. This time she was so frightened again. The imperial physician said that the poison had already attacked her heart. I am afraid that her life would be in the near future.
Wen Wan didn't feel soft-hearted at all this time, but just said lightly: "Don't worry, Ling Ling is my student, I will protect him well." As for Ling Yuan and Tong Meitou, it depends on their own luck. She doesn't have that much energy to be a nanny for others.
Hai Ruyu wanted to say something else. Xia Yao came over and opened Hai Ruyu's hand and said coldly: "You should cherish your blessings. You have calculated how much you have planned to the princess over the years, thinking we really don't know. It's just that the princess doesn't say it because of the past love. The so-called love has long been squandered by you. Therefore, please take care of the princess."
Wenwan glanced at Hai Ruyu and walked out. She really didn't want to say anything, because there was really nothing to say.
Hai Ruyumu looked at Wen Wan leaving the bedroom in a daze and suddenly smiled bitterly. He had come to this point, but he didn't expect that he had come to this point under such circumstances.
Mama Rong came over and wiped her tears and said, "Crown Princess, you must take care of your health!" The imperial physician said that the Crown Princess' lifespan was not long, and it might have been during this period. She was also worried. She had been with the Crown Princess for so long, and her affection was deep.
Hai Ruyu looked at Mama Rong and murmured: "Mama, do you think I did something wrong? Am I really wrong?"
Mama Rong did not say that Hai Ruyu did something wrong, but just cried and said, "The Crown Princess did not do anything wrong. The one who was wrong was just this position. The one who was wrong was just that these people were too cruel and actually plotted against the Crown Princess like this." Except for the Crown Princess who had attacked Guo's children, the Crown Princess did not take action. These people were almost all the vicious actions of Guo. Liu's children were not the Crown Princess's hands. Unfortunately, all of this is counted on the Crown Princess now.
In fact, it cannot be blamed on others for counting these consequences on Hai Ruyu's head. Such a thing happened in the backyard of the East Palace. As the hostess of the East Palace, Hai Ruyu was the first to be responsible. Not to mention that the two surviving children were all born by her. How can it not be hotly discussed! So, although Guo was dead, it also gave the Crown Princess a bad influence that could not be eliminated.
Wenwan left the Eastern Palace and went directly to the palace. She told the emperor about her plans and hoped that the emperor would agree to let Lingsheng move into Yongning Palace.
The emperor smiled and said, "What's the idea I made? You don't know. I'm afraid it wasn't the idea I just made, but I had this idea!" Ling Ling was assassinated and was lying on the hospital bed. The emperor knew very well what was going on. Of course, if Ling Ling was so unusable, the emperor wouldn't spend any more time.
Wen Wan muttered: "Uncle Emperor, you have become a magician now. What do I have to say? You will know as soon as I say it. There is no secret at all." She asked Ling Ling to study in the study room and had this idea. But the queen passed away at that time, so he couldn't mention it. Now that she encountered the assassination, Wen Wan took the opportunity to make this request.
The emperor did not object: "Where is Ling Xi, it is worth your calculations for him like this." Wen Wan has always been like this. She just hangs up the matter of unrelated people. If there is a bit of a cornered relationship, he will ask, and if he can, he will help him. Wen Wan has always been willing to do things that are just a little work. Of course, excessive things depend on the relationship. If the relationship is very strong, she will help without fear. For example, Luo Shouxun, even the matter of collusion with traitors is being sold. Now that Ling Xi has made Wen Wan so exhausted, the emperor wants to know Wen Wan's true thoughts.
Wen Wan naturally couldn't say that I thought Ling Xi was in pain like a son. This was definitely something I couldn't say: "Ling Xi has the advantages of Ling Xi. The emperor's uncle may not know that Ling Xi has many advantages that Ming Rui and Ming Jin cannot compare with."
The emperor was interested: "Oh, what aspects?"
Wen Wan kept it insincere: "The emperor's uncle will know when he is familiar with Ling Ling in the future." It would be boring if he told him. He had to let the emperor discover it slowly.
The emperor looked at Wen Wan with a smile. This girl was kept in hiding again.
Wen Wan didn't care about the emperor's expression, but said another thing with a frown: "Some time ago, I told Bai Shinian about Xia Ying and Xia Xian and others hiding me. Bai Shinian criticized me severely. Then Bai Shinian was extremely glad to say that although Ming Jin had many minor problems, he did not learn from me. He was not good or bad, and was nepotism. Therefore, Bai Shinian was no longer so anxious about Ming Jin's minor problems." Wen Wan said this to the emperor to tell the emperor that if Ling Ling learned these problems by his side, it would be abolished. Think about it, an emperor could even let go of his subordinates who deceived him, and there was nothing that could not be let go. This country is probably not far from the destruction of the country.
The emperor glanced at Wen Wan and immediately fell into deep thought. The emperor knew Wen Wan's affairs very well. Wen Wan was kind and ruthless to treat her subordinates as relatives. Even if she took office one after another, Wen Wan still let her go in the end. Dan Wenwan said this was not a big problem because he was trying to suppress her. But if Ling Ling also learned these problems, then he would have let Wen Wan teach Ling Ling. He wanted a qualified heir. It was not to train a heir for Wen Wan.
Wen Wan knew that the emperor was relaxed when she saw the emperor's expression: "Uncle Emperor, although I proposed to let Ling Ling go to the study to learn from the great scholars. In fact, I wanted Ling Ling to stay in the palace and contact the emperor's uncle more. Learn the emperor's uncle's decisiveness in killing and martial arts. As long as he learns 50% of the emperor's uncle, it will be enough for him to benefit for the rest of his life." This is not Wen Wan flattering. The emperor is indeed a rare wise ruler.
Although Wen Wan believes that the older the emperor is, the more suspicious he is, it is undeniable that the emperor is really a good emperor who loves the people as much as his son. Under the emperor's governance, even if the war has wiped out the national treasury, the national strength of the Great Qi Dynasty is still very strong. If Ling Ling learns the skills of the emperor's uncle and has her previous teachings, there is no need to worry in the future.
The emperor came back to his senses from his thoughts and saw Wen Wan looking at him with a hint of eyes. He couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "Do you need this look? Ming Jin is very good at this. He really ruined Ming Jin." Not only did he look like a person, but he also learned 99% of his personality. Bai Shinian said that right, Ming Jin learned Wen Wan's shortcomings very well.
Wen Wan's eyes lit up: "Uncle Emperor, have you agreed?" The emperor agreed, and other things would be easier to deal with.
The emperor nodded: "Yongning Palace is your palace. If you want to let him live, let him live." With the two emperors' acquiesce, Yongning Palace belongs to Wenwan. Since Wenwan is willing to let Lingling stay, the emperor naturally does not object. Of course, the main reason is that the emperor also wants to know where Lingling is special, so that Wenwan loves and values this child. The emperor's curiosity was also aroused by Wenwan.
Ling Ling was not surprised to receive the news. The prince was very happy, but he didn't expect his son to be blessed in disguise. Hai Ruyu sighed heavily.
Qi Mu received the news and looked gloomy: "Who is the one who is behind the scenes?" Since Wen Wan is Ling Xi's teacher, she has already labeled it. It is normal to help Ling Xi. He also had a headache, but he did not dare to act rashly. With his understanding of Wen Wan, Wen Wan could not support Ling Xi with great fanfare. But now, someone immediately broke this balance and let Ling Xi live in the palace, especially Yongning Palace. As time goes by, the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren becomes deeper. By then, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The person below whispered: "It was the Imperial Concubine who was behind the scenes." The Qi family had been killed, and the Imperial Concubine Qi had been injected into the cold palace. The queen was gone, and the Imperial Concubine Wen had the highest status in the harem. Concubine Wen had a son, who was thirteen years old this year.
Qi Mu was not angry when he heard this, but smiled: "I didn't expect that it was the pusher of the woman in the harem, so let him move in." The tricks of women in the harem were endless. I don't know if Ling Ling, the child, could withstand it.
The incident of Ling Sheng checking in Yongning Palace surprised Hai Shilin: "The princess plays the cards, so it really makes people unable to guess no matter how much they guess."
Kang Lao, an aide, smiled and said, "No one expected how the princess played the cards. But this is really good news for His Highness Lingxi." Everyone knows that if you want to take the position of crown prince, you must be recognized by the emperor. Now Lingxi lives in Yongning Palace less than a quarter of an hour away from Yanghe Palace, which provides great convenience for Lingxi. As long as Lingxi is loved by the emperor, the so-called disadvantage will no longer exist.
Haishilin nodded, but was worried again: "The palace is full of ghosts, and this child is also very dangerous when he enters the palace!" Ling Xi was a student trained by Wen Wan. Originally, Haishilin should have rest assured. However, since ancient times, the methods in the harem have only unexpected and nothing they can't do.
Mr. Kang shook his head: "How can you get a tiger's son if you don't enter the tiger's den? Such opportunities are hard to come by. His Highness Ling Xi needs such opportunities." The road was paved by Princess Wenwan. If Ling Xi violated the road paved by Princess Wenwan, it would be equivalent to resigning. The prince's legitimate son gave up the opportunity to continue to fight for in favorable circumstances, and in the future he would be a useless person.
Haishilin didn't say anything anymore.
Mr. Kang comforted: "The princess also entered the palace to accompany the former emperor at the age of 11. With the princess here, Ling Xi would do a good job." Back then, the princess had the capital to compete with King Zhao with his ability and courage. He even gave King Zheng the throne and became the emperor. Now Ling Xi has gentle help, and the situation is much better than that of the past.
Hai Shilin smiled bitterly: "If Ling Xi was half of Wen Wan's wisdom back then, I would have nothing to worry about." The problem is that although he knew Ling Xi was good, he was not sure about what he was. I believe that anyone except Wen Wan had no idea.
After two months of busyness, Wen Wan finally finished the accounts of the commercial bank and the bank. The dividends were one-third less than last year.
There is no way to do that. As soon as the account was cleared, the emperor took out the money. Now the emperor is in a hurry for money. He has returned to the time when he first ascended the throne. So, it is not easy for the emperor to do anything without money!
Wen Wan had just breathed a sigh of relief when she got news that Hai Ruyu had passed. Wen Wan was stunned for a moment. Xia Yao had told Wen Wan about Hai Ruyu's condition. She was afraid she could not survive this month. She didn't expect she would leave so soon.
Wen Wan did not go to the East Palace immediately, but said to Xia Yao: "Three of our eight girls back then have left." Yutong, Xu Jingqiu, and now Hai Ruyu. In just over ten years, three of them have left.
Xia Yao glanced at Wen Wan: "If it weren't for the princess, I believe that Su Zhenzhen, Yu Yiyi, Jiang Yuxiu and the other four would probably not be alive now." Su Zhenzhen would definitely not be able to withstand it without her son. Yu Jing was involved in the case of rebellion and was punished for the nine clans, so Yu Yiyi was naturally among them. If Jiang Yuxiu hadn't been the princess' help, she would definitely be tortured to death by the witch.
As for Hua Meier who was not mentioned, Xia Yao thought that Hua Meier could also be worthy of the princess' goodness to him. Although Hua Meier's goodness to Wen Wan did not have any substantial help in recent years, it was better than the others. Later, the performance of Mingrui and the Luo family made Xia Yao and others fully agree with Meier. Therefore, it is not ordinary difficult to get the recognition of these women!
Before Wen Wan could speak, she was immediately interrupted by Xia Yao: "Princess, if you think it is your fault, then you can take good care of Lingyuan's three brothers and sisters."
Wen Wan looked at Xia Yao: "When did I say it was my fault? Wouldn't you just say a few words of emotion? You woman."
Seeing that Wenwan no longer continued this topic, Xia Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just stop obsessing with this matter.
Hai Ruyu is the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess' funeral has certain specifications. However, the emperor has been worried about money recently and has begun to reduce expenses again. Due to special reasons, the emperor did not reduce the cost of the funeral, so the show should be done. But the Crown Princess' funeral is naturally impossible to hold a large amount.
Ling Yuan was very dissatisfied with this, but he didn't have the courage to tell the emperor. So he asked Ling Ling to ask Wen Wan, hoping that Wen Wan could suggest the emperor to change his mind.
Ling Ling looked at Ling Yuan and said nothing. He didn't know what his brother was thinking. Grandpa the emperor issued an imperial edict, and now he asked him to plead with his aunt and let him change his original intention? Is this possible? Not to mention that the aunt will not plead, even if she pleads, she will definitely not change anything.
As his younger brother, he must have no choice but to do something about Lingyuan. But the prince still has a way to discipline Lingyuan.
The prince was angry when he knew Ling Yuan’s idea. The emperor always advocated savings, and he had never wasted it since he registered. Now because the treasury is empty, his expenses have been reduced. Life has returned to the time when he ascended the throne. Since the emperor said he should try his best to save, who can say anything? Ling Yuan actually thought about it and asked for gentleness. This is not a decision to question the emperor. If the emperor knew about it, what would he think.
