It looked like he didn't have many days left to live.
He had received some blessings in the past, so now he didn't add insult to injury.
Instead, I bought him some things within my ability.
I hope he can live a more comfortable life outside the palace.
After thinking about it, the gate of the Inner Palace Department arrived.
He took a deep breath, and then walked in with his eyes forward.
I happened to see the eunuchs in charge training the little eunuchs, and heard them shouting.
"My slave, I would like to pay my respects to the steward."
One emperor and one courtier.
In the new year, the Inner Court Department also takes on a new look.
Being implicated by Liu Xu'er, the entire power of Yuxiu Palace was lifted from the ground.
Even the smallest details can attract the attention of Dong Yuzhong and Qin An.
Therefore, with the two of them joining forces, the entire palace was purged again and again.
Catch what needs to be caught and release what needs to be released.
The imperial city suddenly became quite empty.
Looking at most of the palace people who had dispersed, Qin An felt more and more that things were about to change.
However, outsiders thought this was a signal.
This is to prepare for the selection of more newcomers into the palace next spring.
Therefore, one by one, they shifted their focus from currying favor with the concubine’s mother and family to focusing on the harem draft.
More than half of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were asking around.
Let’s see if the previously postponed draft issue will come back to the table again.
So the two of them started to select girls of the right age at home.
Waiting to enter the palace.
Let’s look forward to creating a new era.
Different from their views, the Queen Mother understood a lot in the palace.
Remembering what the emperor had said to her, she unconsciously raised her lips.
As the children grow older, they indeed have their own opinions.
No matter how difficult the situation is, he can do it if he wants to.
And he doesn't let outsiders know his true thoughts.
I'm afraid everyone still thinks that they are purging members of the Liu family.
But they have no idea that the emperor wants to be united in one heart and be stubborn without separation.
After thinking about it, he summoned Qiangui's concubine.
It’s time to put an end to some things.
Concubine Qiangui has been ill for a long time since the New Year's Eve banquet.
I could barely get out of bed, and I thought I was going to die of illness, but I still struggled and came back to life.
So now I am very lucky to be able to stay here and pay homage to the Queen Mother.
The entire human figure is bone-shattering and its clothes are empty.
His face didn't look good, it was sallow.
But the tone of the speech is still a little bit full, so it doesn't sound like a mosquito or a fly.
"I have seen the Queen Mother, and please be kind to the Queen Mother."
"Get up. Since your health is not good, you can sit down."
"Thank you Queen Mother."
"Cough cough, cough cough."
After sitting down, Concubine Qiangui was still coughing non-stop.
She was afraid that the Queen Mother would be sick if she got sick, so she kept covering her mouth with a veil.
She was just curious as to why the Queen Mother asked her to come here today, when she heard the Queen Mother had already spoken.
"Now, what are you going to do?"
What are you going to do?
She also asked herself this question several times.
I ask when I am awake and I ask in my dream.
But there is no definite answer.
So the more I thought about it, the more I felt incompetent as a mother.
Her son had been taken away for so many years, but she "didn't know" anything.
At this moment, I can only cry again and again.
The Queen Mother was not happy, she would only cry when something happened.
You’ve been crying for more than half a month, don’t you think it’s enough?
So, I glanced at Aunt Wen next to me, and soon she handed over the veil.
And he said comfortingly.
"Empress, it's time for you to take on some responsibilities now. If you continue to cry like this, the third prince's future will be ruined by crying. Are you willing?"
Hearing this, the Qiangui concubine quickly wiped away her tears.
The crying stopped.
He said to the Queen Mother with some embarrassment.
"I also ask the Queen Mother to make the decision. I am willing to take care of the third prince. Even if he cannot accept me as a mother at the moment, it does not matter. As long as I can see him every day, that is the best."
"at all costs?"
"yes!"
The Queen Mother did not hesitate and just said directly.
"In that case, the Ai family will think about you mother and son. Now that the Liu family's affairs are not over yet, you should stay in the palace for a while. After the limelight is over, let the third prince be crowned king and go to other places.
.”
Being named a king and going to other places?
The Qiangui concubine obviously did not expect such a result.
I was a little stunned for a moment.
She came to cry today just so that she could be reunited with the third prince.
But this does not mean that the third prince and her will also be "sent" out of the palace.
The wind has been blowing recently, and even though she was still lingering on the hospital bed, she still knew a little bit about it.
She knew very well what the emperor meant.
Even the possibility of the third prince wanting to ascend the throne is extremely slim.
But the noble concubine felt that it would be good to stay in the palace for one more day.
At least, the father-son relationship with the emperor is always there.
If you were to be crowned a king now and go to another place, wouldn't it mean that you would be severing your relationship with the Heavenly Family?
The Qiangui concubine couldn't accept it for a while.
But the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, and she will not have any other feelings of compassion because of her age.
On the road to imperial power, she would not leave a threat that could be eradicated as soon as possible.
Just like before, after she recognized the emperor as her son, she devoted herself to planning for him.
Now, too.
"Your Majesty, these three princes are only seven or eight years old. They were named kings at such a young age and went to other places to serve. My concubines have no independent opinions. If they break the rules somewhere, wouldn't they bring embarrassment to the royal family? Please ask the Queen Mother.
Think twice."
The concubine Qian Gui said she was modest, but to the Queen Mother's ears, it sounded like she was refusing to give up.
"If you're afraid of being ugly, then go to a place where someone can help take care of it. How about Cezhou? Among all the prefectures and counties in the Wei Dynasty, it is still relatively wealthy. Over the years, most of the officials there are peaceful people.
, you mother and son have gone, firstly, you have a place to go, and secondly, you can learn more from these people."
"The most important thing is that Mr. Xing in Cezhou Academy is a great scholar. The Ai family will recommend him as a master to the third prince. If you follow such a teacher to learn how to behave and learn skills, you will definitely not be able to do it again in the future.
We’ve taken a detour.”
"Concubine Qiangui, what do you think?"
The Queen Mother's words sounded like a discussion.
It's actually a command.
Even if the noble concubine has ten thousand thoughts, it will be of no use when facing the Queen Mother.
Just as he was about to say something, the Queen Mother blocked the rest of the way.
"Oh, by the way, the distance from Cezhou is not too close. I think there are quite a lot of things that I need to bring. Feng Enhai, you can go and pack them up. If the third prince is missing someone, he will make up for it.
You must be careful in your work and have a clean financial background. The Ai family does not want their grandson to be taken advantage of."
