Xuanyuan Yue and Hua Shuxue talked all the way to the main hall of Baihua Pavilion. Hua Shuxue said in a gentle voice: "Previously, King Huai Xuanyuan Jin came to the Prince's Mansion. He said that you should go to the Ministry of Personnel for investigation this time.
The person involved behind the incident of buying and selling an official position is actually the queen mother?"
Xuanyuan Yue's face was slightly cold. He didn't intend to tell Xue'er about this matter so as not to worry her. Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Jin, a man with a long tongue, actually told Xue'er about the matter. Xuanyuan Yue snorted unhappily.
"He is well-informed and has a long enough hand."
"How are you going to handle this?"
Hua Shuxue asked Xuanyuan Yue that this matter involved Empress Ruan, and Yue must be in a dilemma in her heart. Xuanyuan Yue thought about it seriously, let alone the quarrel between him and his mother, even if his relationship with his mother was not good,
People are absolutely not allowed to interfere with court affairs. This is related to the country's country and has nothing to do with personal grudges.
"I will deal with those who enter the court by means of buying and selling, regardless of whether they are from the queen mother or not. This is a matter that involves the great cause of the court for a hundred years and is not a child's play."
Hua Shuxue nodded, she knew Yue would do this, but he must feel uncomfortable in his heart, thinking about holding Xuanyuan Yue tightly.
"Go back to the palace and have a good talk with your mother. After all, she is your mother."
Xuanyuan Yue didn't say anything. Thinking of the last words her mother said when she entered the palace earlier, she might have some tricks up her sleeve next.
But he didn't plan to let Xue'er know about these things, lest she become anxious.
"Well, I know."
The two of them walked into the main hall talking all the way. Hua Shuxue asked Xuanyuan Yue with concern if he had eaten breakfast. When he learned that he had not eaten anything when he came down in the morning, Hua Shuxue immediately ordered someone to pass the food over, and the hall was filled with excitement.
Warm and soft.
In the afternoon, Xuanyuan Yue went to the Ministry of Personnel and recorded all the lists of officials who were buying and selling. However, he still used some tricks to eliminate the real masters behind the scenes, making people think that this was a buying and selling incident of ordinary officials.
The Ministry of Punishment immediately took over the matter and thoroughly investigated and dealt with these people. They quickly copied what should be copied and investigated what should be investigated without delay. The whole Anling City was in a state of shock. Many courtiers were furious at His Highness the Crown Prince's actions.
The method was so shocking that the ministers in the court of Yun State were affected by this incident and became more and more content and did not dare to do anything wrong.
In the dark night, the hazy white moonlight enveloped the entire Prince's Mansion.
Everyone in the Prince's Mansion was asleep, except for the patrollers who did not dare to be careless and patrolled everywhere carefully.
A small voice sounded outside the Baihua Pavilion door: "Your Highness, Your Highness."
In the silent night, such sounds became clearer and clearer. Hua Shuxue and Xuanyuan Yue woke up at the same time. They turned over and sat up. Xuanyuan Yue said to the door: "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, my subordinates received news that the Queen Empress had left the palace earlier, and she quietly went to General Murong's Mansion with her people."
"Murong Mansion," Xuanyuan Yue's pupils darkened. What the empress said before was clearly backed up. What did she want to do when she left the palace to go to Murong Mansion? Under the dim light, Xuanyuan Yue's face was filled with frost.
, that handsome and shining face was full of rigor at this time, thinking seriously about what the queen mother would do when she left the palace.
While thinking about it, he asked people outside: "Are you sure the Queen has gone to General Murong's Mansion?"
"Yes, my subordinate followed the Queen before and found that she entered the General's Mansion. Is there anyone still guarding the door of the General's Mansion now?"
People outside continued to report quietly.
They were the Southern Imperial Army in the hands of Xuanyuan Yue. He had previously sent several strong men to lurk in the palace to monitor the Queen Mother's movements.
Xuanyuan Yue got dressed and got out of bed, looking back at Hua Shuxue on the bed: "Xue'er, I'm going to Murong Mansion."
He couldn't believe the queen without seeing her with his own eyes, lest he wrongly accuse her.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Hua Shuxue also dressed and got out of bed neatly. Xuanyuan Yue did not stop her. The two of them quickly dressed and walked out of the room. Standing outside were not only the people from the Southern Imperial Army, but also Du, the bodyguard of the Prince's Mansion.
Jinghong and others quickly turned away and drifted into the dark night, heading straight for Murong Mansion.
No one spoke on the road. Xuanyuan Yue hugged Hua Shuxue, and the two of them kissed each other and headed to Murong's house.
Soon, when they arrived at Murong Mansion and found the place where the Southern Imperial Army was lurking, Xuanyuan Yue said coldly: "Hasn't the Queen come out yet?"
Several subordinates shook their heads respectfully: "No, Your Highness."
Because they were afraid that the Queen would find out, they did not dare to get too close. Who among the people inside and outside Anling City did not know that the Queen was powerful in martial arts? If they got too close, there would definitely be clues, so they could only stay away from them.
Follow, but they can be sure that the one who came out of the palace earlier was the Queen.
Xuanyuan Yue held Hua Shuxue's hand and ordered the Southern Imperial Army and the people in the Prince's Mansion: "You guys stay here and don't move without permission."
There are many nursing homes in Murong Mansion. If someone discovers them, they will be in trouble, so they must be careful.
"I and the Crown Princess will go in."
Xuanyuan Yue is very familiar with Murong Mansion. If the queen mother leaves the palace and comes to Murong Mansion to discuss matters, she will definitely be in the Murong family's study. He knows this study very well. Did he and Xue'er come here once before?
"Yes, Your Highness."
Everyone responded, Xuanyuan Yue took Hua Shuxue's hand, and the two of them rushed to the study room of Murong Mansion. However, like the people from the Southern Imperial Army before, they did not dare to get too close to the study room of General Murong Mansion because the study room
The people inside were very skilled in martial arts. If they came close, they would definitely be noticed, so they stayed far away and listened intently to the conversation in the study.
However, because of the distance and the direction of the wind, I could only hear half a sentence.
Why should the king of Xiang be adopted in his name, and why should he mobilize troops?
However, despite hearing a few words, Xuanyuan Yue's intelligence still easily found out what the people in the room were discussing. The Queen Mother actually joined forces with the people of the Murong Mansion and asked the Murong Mansion to dispatch troops. On the other hand,
The queen mother wanted to adopt the sixth prince, King Xiang, into her name. When the troops from the Murong Mansion were dispatched, she could join forces with the Murong family to force the palace to depose the emperor and allow the sixth prince, King Xiang, to ascend the throne and become the emperor. In the future, she would threaten the emperor.
To order the princes.
When Xuanyuan Yue thought that what his mother had done was a treasonous thing, his big hands felt cold, and he clenched Hua Shuxue's hand tightly, feeling extremely angry in his heart.
Hua Shuxue had heard one or two sentences before, and she didn't quite understand them at first, but when she saw Xuanyuan Yue's heartbroken look, she somewhat understood. She couldn't help but feel sorry for Xuanyuan Yue, but at the same time, she thought of another thing.
One thing, if Empress Ruan’s real purpose is to depose Xuanyuan Yue, then when they were in the study room of Junlin Palace and the emperor wanted to arrest them, she didn’t have to help. Why did she help then and then depose him now?
?Is it because he doesn't listen? She wants to destroy him, but she doesn't want to kill her own son?
Hua Shuxue only felt that her eyes were filled with fog and confusion, while Xuanyuan Yue was deeply trapped in the situation and was even more unable to calm down than she was.
The people in the study quickly came to an agreement and stepped out. The three of them walked out of Murong's Mansion and headed straight out of the house.
Xuanyuan Yue and Hua Shuxue could not think any more and immediately retreated further away from Murong Mansion's study, then went straight to where Nan Yujun and others were before and ordered them to leave.
"You continue to monitor the queen."
"Let's go back."
"Yes, Your Highness," the people from the Southern Royal Army took the order and followed the figure not far away.
Xuanyuan Yue, Hua Shuxue and others also left Murong Mansion and headed all the way to the Prince's Mansion.
When they returned to the Prince's Mansion, Xuanyuan Yue and Hua Shuxue did not go to bed immediately. Instead, they sat in the main hall of Baihua Pavilion and gave instructions.
"Du Jinghong, take your people and keep an eye on the Murong Mansion immediately. If they find any trouble, they will come over and report it to me."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Du Jinghong responded and led people to Murong Mansion to guard. Xuanyuan Yue ordered two other cronies: "You two, take some manpower and keep an eye on the imperial guards guarding the capital and the defenders in various places in the capital.
military."
"Yes, my subordinates know."
Two men came out in response. If the Murong Mansion wanted to mobilize troops and generals, it would be too late to mobilize them from elsewhere. So they would probably mobilize the imperial guards guarding the capital, as well as the local garrison sergeants. Among these troops, there were
Many people used to be Murong Keng's old subordinates, so if he was incited, it would be easy to win over people, so he must monitor these people.
In the main hall, there was no one else but Xuanyuan Yue and Hua Shuxue. Xuanyuan Yue swept away the cold and gloomy look in front of outsiders, with a sad face.
"Why would my mother do such a thing?"
Hua Shuxue looked at Xuanyuan Yue and held his hand with her backhand: "I think the queen mother may not be doing this as she seems on the surface. If she really wanted to get rid of you, why did she do it in the study that day?
Did you help us? You can let Father arrest us."
"Perhaps she also has some intolerance in her heart, so she just wants to abolish my position as crown prince, and does not want to kill me."
This is just like him, he just wants to remove all the power in the hands of his mother, but he never wants to kill her.
Hua Shuxue stopped talking, because she knew that any words spoken at this moment were in vain. What Ruan Hou did in front of her really hurt Xuanyuan Yue, and they couldn't guess what she wanted to do? What they saw in front of them
That's all I can think of.
The two of them rested in the hall without saying a word.
On the morning of the next day, Xuanyuan Yue went to the morning court as usual, while Hua Shuxue stayed in the Prince's Mansion and continued to catch up on her sleep. However, she did not sleep for long before she was woken up by Mo Xie.
"Master, the Queen sent someone to deliver a message, saying that there will be a banquet in the palace today, and she would like to entertain all the royal ladies in the court."
As soon as Mo Xie's words fell, Hua Shuxue couldn't help but feel a cloud in her heart. Empress Ruan would not propose to adopt King Xiang in her name in front of everyone today. The Queen Mother and Concubine of Hunan died young, if
With the Queen's blessing, you are truly blessed with great luck.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xuanyuan Nishang walked in outside the door. Princess Nishang had been sleeping for the past two days since she entered the Prince's Mansion. She didn't know that something earth-shaking had happened in Yun Kingdom, and this matter was probably the hand of her mother.
Dominant.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Queen Mother is hosting a banquet in the palace to invite you into the palace, right?"
Hua Shuxue nodded, then looked at Xuanyuan Nishang: "Do you want to go into the palace with me? The queen must miss you."
Although Empress Ruan has never told anyone, she definitely misses her daughter, but she just doesn't show it.
"Your Majesty, do you think Murong Feng is married to a real wife now?"
Xuanyuan Nichang was still worried that her mother would let her marry Murong Feng. Three years later, she also missed her mother very much. Although she was still afraid of her in her heart, she must be her mother after all.
But when she thought about her mother asking her to marry Murong Feng, she didn't want to enter the palace. She really didn't like Murong Feng at all.
Hua Shuxue thought for a while, Murong Feng really didn't have a real wife, but she heard that Empress Ruan had given two women to Murong's mansion, and they were all given to him as concubines. She shook her head while thinking about it.
"He hasn't married yet."
Xuanyuan Nishang's face turned cold: "I know that my mother has no intention of giving up. Since she is so heartless, I will not go back to the palace."
Hua Shuxue looked at Xuanyuan Nishang without saying anything. She was also afraid that Empress Ruan would let Xuanyuan Nishang marry into the Murong Mansion, because now that Empress Ruan and the Murong Mansion were colluding, if she did something treasonous, the Murong family would
The whole family is afraid that all of them will be exterminated, and won't Nishang be tired of her then? Thinking of this, Hua Shuxue said: "Nishang, just stay in the prince's mansion. After a while, I will find an opportunity to come again."
How about letting you enter the palace?"
"good."
Xuanyuan Nishang nodded in agreement, and talked to Hua Shuxue for a while before leaving.
Hua Shuxue packed up and headed to the palace. Empress Ruan held a banquet at noon. It was almost time to enter the palace.
Today's banquet was held in the side hall of Chunlan Palace. The interior and exterior of the palace were filled with light and flowers, and the palace maids in colorful clothes came and went in a busy manner.
Many concubines have already arrived early. The queen is hosting a banquet. Who dares to be late? With Ruan Hou's ability, no one in the entire Yun Kingdom would dare to offend her casually. Back then, she was a girl from Xiang Pavilion and helped the queen at that time.
The emperor, who was still a prince, climbed up to the position of prince, eradicated many dissidents, and successfully ascended to the throne. Later, he rectified the Yun Kingdom and destroyed many neighboring countries, finally making the Yun Kingdom become a powerful country now.
But no one expected that she would end up like this in the end. They still remembered that she and the emperor had a deep affection and love in the past. They were a couple that was envied by everyone in Anling City, but they didn't expect that they are now strangers.
.
These imperial wives who had arrived early were ushered into the main hall by the palace maids and served with tea. Empress Ruan did not appear, only the female official Yuhan next to her came out to greet everyone.
"The Queen is resting, so the servants will entertain you ladies."
Although Yuhan is a female official, she is a close confidant of Empress Ruan, so whoever dares to support her in front of her will cause many people to stand up and say, "Official Yuhan is so polite."
There were groups of three or five in the palace talking, but if the Queen didn't appear, they would talk even more eloquently.
It's just that many people speculate that the Queen has rarely held banquets to entertain the princes since they got married. When something happens, she either sends the female officials around her to come forward or asks the prince to take action. Her grand gesture today is another example.
For what reason, no one could guess for a while.
Everyone talked in the hall for a while, and soon no one stopped guessing why Empress Ruan held the banquet today. Instead, they talked about the recent opening of several jewelry stores and clothing stores in Beijing, which were very lively.
Until the eunuch's voice sounded outside the main hall door: "The Crown Princess has arrived."
Everyone stopped talking and stood up together. The hostess also walked a few steps and led the palace maid to the door. She bowed respectfully and said, "I have seen the Crown Princess."
Hua Shuxue glanced around, and it turned out that everyone was here. She nodded to everyone, and the ladies of each family spoke at the same time: "I have met the Crown Princess and the Queen."
"Everyone, please get up. I didn't expect that everyone arrived earlier than me. It seems that I am late."
Princess Ming and Princess Gu quickly walked over and said with a smile: "Is it because the wife and others came early, and the Crown Princess came just in time?"
Their laughter ended. Many people in the palace responded: "Yes, the Crown Princess came just in time. It was my wife and others who came early."
Several people came forward and walked to the side with Hua Shuxue in groups. Everyone talked animatedly. Although Hua Shuxue was the princess, she usually got along well with these people, so now they are in Hua Shuxue.
In front of me, I feel much calmer and not as uneasy as before.
Seeing that it was almost noon, the female officials Yuhan and Hua Shuxue said their goodbyes and went to the palace to invite the Queen to come over.
Soon, Queen Ruan appeared. She looked good today, radiant and full of energy, but the attentive Hua Shuxue still noticed that she seemed to be thinner than before, and her heart sank. Queen Ruan couldn't help but
He might be really sick.
However, everyone in the hall stood up and said at the same time: "See you, the Queen. May the Queen be safe."
Empress Ruan pulled her lips and smiled gracefully, holding the hands of the two female officials Furong and Yuhan, she walked to the top of the hall and sat down.
"The reason why I have summoned you all to come into the palace today is because I have a happy event to announce, so I have invited you to come into the palace."
As soon as the queen finished speaking, Hua Shuxue's heart lifted. At this moment, the eunuch's scream sounded outside the palace door: "His Royal Highness the King of Xiang has arrived."
In the main hall, everyone turned their heads and looked in front of the door. They saw a handsome and elegant young man of fifteen or sixteen years old walking in. He was glowing with the sunshine that shone in from outside the main hall.
King Xiang Xuanyuanchen walked up to Empress Ruan and saluted calmly and politely: "My son, I would like to express my greetings to my mother, and wish my mother good health."
As soon as he said this, many people in the palace were in an uproar and whispered to each other. King Xiang was so brave. He dared to call Empress Ruan his mother. This is something that only princes and princesses can address directly. Xuanyuan Chen called her like this.
, then he has become the legitimate son of the royal family, and suddenly becomes more valuable than other princes.
King Xiang Xuanyuanchen has never had a concubine since he was a child, so it doesn't matter if he recognizes the Queen as his legitimate mother. Moreover, I heard that the Queen has always liked him and taken care of him. It doesn't matter if he mentions his identity today. It's just that there is a prince in front of the Queen. How can she allow it?
What if someone calls her Queen Mother and threatens her son's status?
Everyone thought that Empress Ruan would be furious, but when everyone looked up, they saw Empress Ruan smiling warmly, with a warm glow on her face, and even more sparkle in her eyes. She stretched out her hand to call Xuanyuan Chen up, and then
Holding his hand, he looked at the stunned ladies in the hall.
"Everyone should know that I have always been fond of Chen'er and have long wanted him to be at my knees. The reason why I am holding a banquet today is because of this happy event, so I will hold a banquet to entertain everyone as a formality.
Chen'er's identity."
As soon as Ruan Hou finished speaking, the hall suddenly became extremely quiet, and everyone was so stunned that they had no reaction at all.
Not only others, but also Hua Shuxue didn't know what to say. She had always suspected that Empress Ruan had some difficulties, but what she did today was clearly a slap in the face to Yue, and it also let everyone know
She and Yue are incompatible.
In the main hall, someone finally reacted and quickly turned around to look at Hua Shuxue.
Hua Shuxue had calmed down at this moment. Since Empress Ruan insisted on going her own way and decided to do this, why should they be sad? They thought of standing up calmly to congratulate Empress Ruan who was looking up.
"My sons and ministers are here to congratulate the queen on the birth of a son. From now on, there will be people who will welcome her."
It was unclear whether she was happy or angry. Ruan Hou narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her. There was no trace of happiness, anger, sorrow or joy on her thin but beautiful face. It was impossible to guess what she was thinking. After a while,
, she laughed.
"Well, the Crown Princess is really interested."
As soon as Ruan Hou finished speaking, she took Xuanyuan Chen's hand and walked all the way down from the high steps to the side hall. Behind her, all the imperial wives got up one after another. As the queen left the main hall of Chunlan Palace, Hua Shuxue also did not leave.
He followed everyone out of the main hall of Chunlan Palace in an animated manner.
There are five or six large round tables in the side hall. The banquet has already begun. The tables are filled with fine wines, delicacies, nectar and jade, as well as rare dishes, melons, fruits and pots of vegetables.
The appetite was great, but everyone was very reticent. The situation in front of them was something they had never encountered before, so no one dared to say anything. Everyone was sitting upright and eating. In the hall, they could only hear Xuanyuan Chen bringing vegetables to Empress Ruan from time to time.
And gently persuaded her over and over again to eat more.
"Mother, try this. You see you are too thin."
"Mother, please have some soup."
While everyone was eating quietly, they were cursing in their hearts, "Hypocritical, isn't it just because the Queen recognized you?"
No one said anything. Queen Ruan glanced around and saw that the entire side hall was so quiet. She seemed not to know. While responding to Xuanyuan Chen, she did not forget to greet Hua Shuxue who was sitting with her at the table.
People from the six major families of Prince He Ming and Prince Gu.
"Everyone doesn't like to talk today. Is it because I'm here and everyone is too shy?"
As soon as Empress Ruan said this, Princess Ming couldn't sit still and stood up quickly: "Where is the Queen? The ladies are happy for the Queen. Seeing His Highness King Xiang's filial piety, they are really envious."
Queen Ruan seemed unable to hear the profound meaning of Princess Ming's words, and nodded with a smile: "That's true, Chen'er is indeed a careful child."
"The Queen Mother really praised my son. I feel ashamed that I can't live up to my praise. I will try my best to do better in the future."
Xuanyuan Chen is currently the youngest prince in the royal family. He lost his mother and concubine when he was very young. He was always bullied by the maids and eunuchs in the palace. Once he fell into the lake in the cold winter, but no one paid attention to him. Instead, he stood aside
He applauded and laughed at him. Fortunately, Empress Ruan passed by at that time and not only saved his life, but also severely punished the servants in the palace so that no one would dare to provoke him casually in the future. Empress Ruan has always taken good care of him.
In Xuanyuan Chen's heart, Queen Ruan is his mother. Although others may think that he clings to a big tree like Queen Ruan, in fact, he truly regards Queen Ruan as his mother from the bottom of his heart.
.
Moreover, he deeply understood that everything Empress Ruan did today was to pave the way for the Crown Prince. Even if she recognized him, Empress Ruan also made it clear to him.
"Chen'er, the reason why I make you the legitimate son of the royal family is because I want you to truly assist your prince and brother. I know that you have a clear mind and will definitely become a wise king in the future. Can you agree to this?
"
He had already sworn when Empress Ruan saved him that he would definitely repay her for saving his life and raising him in the future. Since he had this opportunity today, how could he not repay her kindness?
But the mother didn't want others to know about what was happening in front of her. He knew that one day, the prince and brother would understand everything.
In the main hall, everyone fell into silence again, and the only sounds in the hall were the mutual care between Xuanyuan Chen and Ruan Hou.
After lunch, Empress Ruan said she was tired. Xuanyuan Chen personally supported Empress Ruan, followed by the two female officials Furong and Yuhan. Everyone quickly got up to say goodbye and left the palace. When passing by Hua Shuxue, many people paused.
For a moment, he wanted to comfort Hua Shuxue, but after thinking about it, he stopped talking, and then left the side hall in silence.
Empress Ruan's actions today brought them some news. They must return home immediately to report this matter to their master. What does the Empress's actions mean?
Empress Ruan held a banquet in Chunlan Palace and announced Xuanyuan Chen's identity to the imperial concubine in Anling City. Someone had already reported this matter to the ears of Emperor Wenshun in the study room. Emperor Wenshun's face darkened and his long eyebrows were raised.
Get up, face full of disapproval
At the same time, even he was not sure what Empress Ruan wanted to do now. Thinking about the last time he saw Empress Ruan, he found that her face was very ugly. Emperor Wen Shun really wanted to see how she was doing now?
So I quickly looked at Eunuch Rong.
"Rong Yunhe, last time I asked you to check whether the Queen was sick, did you find out?"
"When I returned to the emperor, I quietly checked and found out that no one in the imperial hospital had ever diagnosed or treated the empress, so the empress was not sick."
Seeing that the emperor still cared about the empress, Rong Yunhe couldn't help but sigh, why bother? There was something that couldn't be resolved, and it would lead to a fight to the death, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Emperor Wenshun stood up. He didn't know why. Whenever he thought about Ruan Zhi recently, he would think of the worst. This feeling was very bad, as if she was really sick. He and she had been a loving couple for nearly ten years.
Later they became strangers for more than ten years, but he always knew that she was always living by his side.
, whether it is hatred or resentment, she will live better than anyone else, but now he always has a sense of unsteadiness, and it has become worse recently. Twice he woke up from midnight, he was in his dream
I saw white flowers everywhere, but Ruan Zhi was lying among the flowers and never opened her eyes again.
"I'm going to see her."
Emperor Wenshun walked around in the study twice, but decided to go see the queen. He had no excuse to go before, but now that she recognized Prince Xiang as his legitimate son, he had reason to ask her what she wanted to do, and it was just a good time to take a look.
How is she?
As soon as Emperor Wenshun finished speaking, the people had already walked out. Eunuch Rong quickly waved his hand and led the two of them to follow Emperor Wenshun all the way to Chunlang Palace.
At this time, the Chunlan Palace was quiet. After the married women left, Prince Xiang also left. Now the Queen is resting in the palace? Who dares to speak loudly and disturb the Queen?
As soon as Emperor Wenshun came over, the eunuchs and maids were shocked. The emperor had never come to Chunlan Palace. What kind of wind blew today made him come to Chunlan Palace. The maids and eunuchs in front of the palace gate even asked Wen Shun.
Emperor Shun even forgot to salute.
Emperor Wenshun naturally knew why these eunuchs and maids were so surprised. His face was a little troubled, and he lowered his face coldly and said sinisterly: "Where is the Queen?"
The eunuchs and palace maids woke up and quickly knelt down and kowtowed. One of the eunuchs knelt out and reported: "When I return to the emperor, the queen is a little tired and is resting in the palace now."
"She will enjoy it."
Emperor Wenshun snorted coldly, waved his hand and strode forward to lead Rong Yunhe and others into the main hall of Chunlan Palace. He saw Furong and Yuhan face to face. These two people used to be his close maids, but later they felt sorry for him.
Ruan Zhi had no confidants around him, so he gave these two girls to Ruan Zhi. Unexpectedly, these two women were also loyal and followed Ruan Zhi for so many years.
When Furong and Yuhan saw Emperor Wenshun, they quickly knelt down and saluted: "I have seen the emperor."
The two of them lowered their heads, with a cold look in their eyes. The emperor has not come to see the empress for so many years. I really don't know what kind of wind blew to make him come here today.
Does he know that what he has done in the past will be repaid to him hundreds of times in the future.
"Where is the Queen?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has gone to bed. Does Your Majesty have anything to do with your Majesty?"
The second maid spoke gently. Emperor Wenshun wanted to go into the palace to see Ruan Zhi, but after thinking about it he decided not to go in. He looked at Furong and Yuhan and spoke in a deep voice.
"Why does the Queen like to sleep so much lately? Is she sick?"
Furong and Yuhan were stunned. They opened their mouths to say something, but when they thought of what the empress said, they shut up again. They didn't want to make the empress sad anymore.
"When I get back to the emperor, I know that the empress is not sick. If she were to be sick, she would definitely be called the imperial doctor. She is just a little tired because of the recent events in the palace, so she is always tired easily."
After Furong said this, Emperor Wenshun naturally knew the meaning of Furong's words, and his face turned cold. However, when Furong said that Ruan Zhi was fine, he relaxed a little in his heart, turned around and walked out of the palace, and said:
"Take good care of your mother-in-law."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The second maid answered, and after Emperor Wenshun, Eunuch Rong and others left, a soft voice sounded in the palace: "Hibiscus, hosta."
The two of them rushed to the palace. In the palace, Ruan Hou's face was washed away and her face was astonishingly white, as transparent as crystal. Her eyelashes were very long and trembling gently, like a bird about to spread its wings.
The butterfly flew, but she had no strength to fly. She leaned on the bed and said softly: "He is gone?"
"Yes, concubine."
Furong responded, and Yuhan couldn't help but speak softly: "My queen, why don't you tell the emperor?"
But as soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Hou's face was covered with a chill as cold as ice: "Tell him what to do. Am I the kind of person who uses his illness to make others pity me? The relationship between him and me is both
It's over, I won't have any worries anymore."
No matter how much love she has, she can't withstand more than ten years of torture. She no longer has the strength to love.
Queen Ruan closed her eyes. When Furong saw that the Queen was angry, she quickly coaxed her softly, just like coaxing a child.
"Empress, don't be angry. We won't talk anymore. We will never mention these words again."
"Well," Ruan Hou responded and stopped talking. She seemed to be asleep, but she didn't really fall asleep. She was really afraid that she would never wake up again after closing her eyes. Every time before going to sleep, she would
Then she thought, God, please let me take one more look at my son and Ni Chang. I don’t know where she is. The person she has felt most guilty about since she was a child is Ni Chang. She has always wanted to raise her son to be the best.
The emperor is capable, but he forgets to give his daughter the same care.
There was silence in the palace.
Furong and Yuhan had been waiting in front of the bed, not daring to leave even an inch. They were afraid that the Queen would never wake up once she closed her eyes.
The carriage from the Prince's Mansion went all the way back to the Prince's Mansion.
As soon as Hua Shuxue returned to Baihua Pavilion, Xuanyuan Nishang led people over and anxiously asked about her entry into the palace.
In fact, she just wanted to find out how her mother was doing, but Hua Shuxue's face seemed quite bad. Could it be that something had happened.
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
Hua Shuxue looked at Ni Chang. Regarding the fact that Empress Ruan accepted Xuanyuan Chen as her legitimate son, she did not intend to hide it from Ni Chang. She thought about it and said slowly: "The Queen Mother is holding a banquet today to celebrate something."
"What's up?"
Xuanyuan Nishang's intuition is that this matter is definitely not a good thing, it must be a bad thing, otherwise Xue'er's face would not be so ugly.
"The queen mother accepted Xiang Wang Xuanyuanchen as the legitimate son of the royal family."
"What?"
When Xuanyuan Nishang heard this, she was furious. She quickly got up and walked in the main hall of Baihua Pavilion. Then she stopped and patted her head: "The queen mother is crazy, what on earth does she want to do?
?Why does she keep going against the imperial brother?"
Hua Shuxue shrugged. She didn’t know what it was for or why Queen Ruan did this. In fact, she was Yue’s mother. Even if she didn’t have great power, she would be the empress dowager of the Yun Kingdom in the future. Who dared to offend her?
.
Xuanyuan Nishang wandered in the hall for a while, then turned around and walked out the door. Hua Shuxue couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"
"I will go into the palace and ask my mother what she wants to do."
"With the current chaos, what will you do if your mother asks you to marry Murong Feng if you enter the palace? You'd better not enter the palace."
Hua Shuxue persuaded her. When she mentioned Murong Feng, Xuanyuan Nishang stopped and walked back fiercely. She was so angry that she stomped her feet in the hall. Hua Shuxue reached out and pulled her to sit down and persuaded her.
"Okay, your imperial brother will do this, so don't worry too much."
Empress Ruan's move is undoubtedly a formal declaration of war against Yue. I'm afraid Yue will not sit idly by and ignore it, and will definitely challenge her, so they don't need to worry.
"Brother Huang will definitely not lose to her."
Xuanyuan Nishang said harshly that she missed her mother very much because she hadn't seen her mother for three years. Now after hearing what she did, she no longer wants to see her.
In the evening, when Xuanyuan Yue returned home, Hua Shuxue told him about the matter. He didn't say much because he had already received the news. He knew that today the queen mother held a banquet in the palace and officially announced to the outside world that she recognized King Xiang as the king.
The legitimate son of the royal family, this is undoubtedly a declaration of war on him, is he still afraid of her?
Today he sent out a lot of Southern Imperial Army troops to keep a close eye on Murong Mansion.
As expected, the Murong family actually conspired with the Imperial Guards guarding Anling City to rebel. Some of them actually listened to the Murong Mansion's orders and were ready to listen at any time. Not only the Imperial Guards guarding the capital, but also the Imperial Guards in Anling City.
The garrison was also moved a lot by him.
But these are all in his hands, and he is not worried at all, but he is chilled by what his mother has done.
"Xue'er, don't worry, everything is in my hands and I won't let her succeed."
"But I have never been able to figure out why she did this. There was no need for her to do this."
She has always been unable to understand the right things done by Queen Ruan and her son. She always felt that things were not simple. Just think about it, which parent in the world does not want their children to become soaring eagles, why does Queen Ruan always target them?
As for her son, if she really wants to deal with Xuanyuan Yue, she should be under his wing
He took action when he was still young, but why did he allow his wings to become fuller and fuller day by day? The reason why Xuanyuan Yue achieved today's fame was because of her confrontation with Queen Ruan, and she gradually became mature and wise. This is like playing chess alone.
, if you often compete with a master, you will soon become a master.
If it weren't for her understanding of Empress Ruan, she would have suspected that all of this was because of Empress Ruan's care for her son, and she would not hesitate to destroy everything she had in order to create a son who would be famous and world-shaking.
However, because Xuanyuan Yue was deeply affected by it, she was not as thorough as Hua Shuxue.
"She always wanted a puppet son who would let her do whatever she wanted and control everything."
