The palace maid saw the suspicion in Zi Rui's eyes and couldn't help but smile, "Princess Yu's younger brother is indeed much more cautious than the average young man. Our empress said when he came at last minute, I might be able to hide it by borrowing the name of His Highness Feiyu."
It's temporary, but it will definitely be guessed later, I didn't expect the young master to start to doubt so quickly."
Feng Zirui was stunned, and a sharp light suddenly appeared in his eyes: "You are indeed not from Feiyu! Who is the empress you are talking about? What is the purpose of using Feiyu's name to get close to me?"
The palace maid quickly explained: "Master Feng, don't be anxious. Listen to what I have to say. Although I am not from His Highness Feiyu, I can't say that I have nothing to do with His Highness Feiyu. In fact, I was sent here by Concubine Shi De.
She takes care of the young master, and the reason why Concubine De takes care of the young master is because Princess Yu asked His Highness the Second Highness to help him obtain this favor."
Hearing what she said, Zirui was startled for a moment. He thought to himself for a long time before saying, "Concubine Shi De, I know, is the second prince's biological mother and Feiyu's biological grandmother." After saying that, the palace maid nodded.
, he felt relieved again, and finally relaxed the atmosphere and said: "Then we will still be our own people."
The palace maid nodded, "Yes, she is one of our own." After saying that, she advised Zi Rui: "Young master, you can rest a little longer. Even if the morning court is over, the emperor has to deal with government affairs in the first day of the afternoon, so he will not be summoned here."
Zi Rui shook his head, but persuaded the other party: "Sister, you should go and take a rest. You must be very sleepy after staying awake all night."
"My slave is fine. I saw the young master sleeping soundly in the early morning, so I also squinted for a while in the corridor. The palace has been busy these days. When my slave came, Concubine De specially told me to cheer up, no matter what day it is.
Even at night, you can’t let down your guard.”
Zi Rui nodded, deeply agreeing with what she said.
In the morning session of the Qiankun Palace, the Eighth Prince, who had been ill for a day, finally showed up. Emperor Tianwu did not have time to listen to the minister's report, and immediately became concerned about the Eighth Prince's condition. In addition to showing concern in public, he also rewarded many good things, and
The money and goods were rare medicinal materials, and the situation made him want to empty out the treasury. For a moment, Xuan Tianming even had the idea of letting Feng Yuheng steal the treasury first. Such good things cannot be taken in.
Lao Ba's den of thieves.
Emperor Tianwu's concern for the Eighth Prince greatly benefited the Eighth Prince's party. They all felt proud and felt that they had chosen the right person this time. The Eighth Prince would definitely inherit the throne in the future. And those who originally followed the Eighth Prince
He also breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought that this eighth prince really had a way. He was able to turn things around even in the face of adversity when the emperor favored the ninth prince so much. This man would definitely make a difference in the future.
Finally showing enough concern, Emperor Tianwu asked the Eighth Prince to stay in the palace to have a meal together at noon. He specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare their mother's favorite dishes.
When people heard this, okay, everyone in the court started chatting about family affairs? The officials wanted to say a few words, but when they thought of Emperor Tianwu's temper, and thought that someone had already hit a pillar in court because of this matter,
However, they still failed to attract the slightest attention from Emperor Tianwu, so they lost confidence and could only let Emperor Tianwu show his temper.
But at this moment, Xuan Tianming stepped forward, interrupted Emperor Tianwu's words loudly, and said: "I would like to inform my father, it is the end of the year, and the annual tribute from ancient Shu and ten small countries in the southern boundary has been delivered.
In the capital, I have submitted it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is a book of gifts, and I would like to ask my father to take a look at it." He said, holding up a book in his hand.
Wu Ying, the eunuch beside Emperor Tianwu, hurried down to pick it up. Just as he was about to hand it back to Tianwu, he heard the emperor on the throne say: "You don't need to show me this little thing, Mo'er, just take a look! In the coming years, this will happen
You have to learn to understand the Sui Gong. Firstly, consider whether those small countries have fooled our Dashun. Secondly, you should also choose some good things for your mother and concubine to send there. I have really owed her so much these years.
.”
As they talked, they got involved in the affairs of the harem. Some of the courtiers frowned, but no one dared to say anything. Even the left and right ministers chose to remain silent, not wanting to talk to the old emperor.
Xuan Tianmo respectfully took the booklet from Wu Ying's hand and said, "I obey the order." After saying that, he glanced at Xuan Tianming again and raised the corners of his lips proudly.
Xuan Tianming didn't say anything and retreated to his position. Later, the seventh prince Xuan Tianhua also reported that Sui Gong from the east boundary had arrived. As expected, Emperor Tianwu gave the job to Ba
The prince, and once again asked him to remember to pick something good for Concubine Yuan Shu first.
In addition, it was announced that there will still be a palace banquet on the first day of the new year this year, and officials of fourth rank and above in Beijing are allowed to bring their families into the palace. The palace banquet will be hosted by the queen and Concubine Yuan Shu, and Tianwu said:
"At this year's palace banquet, I have something big to announce."
In today's morning court, the last words of Emperor Tianwu aroused people's discussion. After the court, people had their own speculations about this. Most people thought that this was to establish a prince, and they couldn't help but talk directly to Ba.
The prince congratulated him. But Xuan Tianmo understood that it was still too early for the emperor to establish a crown prince. The current Emperor Tianwu should not be able to establish a crown prince immediately.
Right Prime Minister Feng Qing also felt guilty. He walked up to Xuan Tianming and asked in a low voice: "What does His Highness Ninth Prince think of this matter?"
Xuan Tianming said: "It has nothing to do with establishing a crown prince. It should be about establishing a noble concubine."
"Concubine?" The right minister frowned, "Are you trying to flatter Concubine Yuan Shu? Your Highness, if this continues, we must be prepared in case the situation suddenly changes and we fight.
I was caught off guard. The old minister saw the emperor like this... Sigh!" He sighed heavily and did not continue, but in his words he was extremely disappointed with Emperor Tianwu. In the past, the old emperor was also willful, but he did not go out of his way, and he also loved Jiu.
The prince, but he will not do anything to refute the government because of this. What's more, compared to the eighth prince, the ninth prince is much better and has too many abilities. What's more, the ninth prince is standing behind him
I got Feng Yuheng! She is simply a fairy.
The right minister stopped talking and slowed down his pace, silently following behind and walking out of the palace. Xuan Tianming spoke again and asked Xuan Tianhua beside him: "Have you sent someone to the south?"
Xuan Tianhua nodded, "We have sent someone there, but after all, the journey is far away and it will not take a few days to get a reply. We still have to look for it from the capital. The Gu breeder must be hiding in the capital, or simply go there.
Hidden in the palace."
"Aheng is investigating in the palace, so I'm asking Seventh Brother in the capital. I have to go to the main camp these days, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it too much."
The two brothers were discussing how to rescue Emperor Tianwu. On the other side, the eighth prince Xuan Tianmo was already walking towards Cunshan Palace. Regarding yesterday's incident, he had to explain to Concubine Yuan Shu as soon as possible.
After all, when I entered the palace this morning, I had already heard that Concubine Yuan Shu was searching the palace last night, but the person the other party wanted to search was now in his house.
In Cunshan Palace, Concubine Yuan Shu was still listening to the flattery of the two palace maids with pride. It was not until the eighth prince came in that she dismissed the two palace maids, leaving only Yuexiu to wait on her.
As soon as Xuan Tianmo sat down, he immediately told Concubine Yuan Shu what happened yesterday, which made Concubine Yuan Shu tremble with fear.
Like Xuan Tianmo, she couldn't figure out who had entered Prince Sheng's Mansion by what means, could silently throw him on Xuan Tianmo's bed, and could even drug her son. This
Everything was done so neatly that they couldn't guard against it, so what if the other party wanted to kill someone? Wouldn't it be possible to raise the knife and drop it, but her son didn't even know how he died? She was so shocked that she broke into a cold sweat and reached out to grab Xuan Tianmo's sleeve.
He said: "We must investigate. If such a person cannot be found, you are in too much danger." After that, he asked again: "Could it be Lao Jiu? I have heard more than once that he is among you brothers.
, Kung Fu is the best.”
Xuan Tianmo nodded: "Don't worry, mother and concubine, my son will definitely investigate this matter carefully. As for Lao Jiu, he is indeed good at martial arts, but his son is not bad either. Maybe I can't defeat him alone, but he won't be so elusive."
To this extent. It’s just..." He thought for a moment and couldn't be sure and said: "The girl next to him always makes people feel weird. I'm afraid this matter has something to do with her."
"You mean Princess Jian?" Concubine Yuan Shu asked with frowning: "Didn't you tell me a few days ago that you wanted to get Princess Jian? I said before that that woman is no better than ordinary people.
, Concubine Li is also plotting against her, and she even sent Yang Sang to Lao Jiu in the palace, but isn't she still living well? That girl is evil, you'd better not plot against her."
"But if she can stand by my side one day and do things for me, she will be more powerful than 11 million Zhu Kongshan." When he mentioned Feng Yuheng, Xuan Tianmo became energetic again, and even said
He once again explained the benefits of marrying Feng Yuheng to Concubine Yuan Shu in detail, which made Concubine Yuan Shu sigh.
But they never expected that all these words would reach Feng Yuheng's ears. The person they said was elusive was now hiding under their noses, but none of them knew it.
Feng Yuheng was so disgusted that she wanted to whip her whip. One concubine Li was not enough. Now there was Xuan Tianmo. Why was she so rare? Her face wasn't that amazing either.
Huh? At most, he can only be regarded as a middle-class person. In this Dashun where there are so many beauties, it is not enough that he has fallen into the eyes of so many princes.
She couldn't figure out this matter. Why did so many people look at her? What's so good about her? What did they like about her? Isn't it possible to change it? It's not like this.
Feng Yuheng felt particularly depressed, but she heard that the business in the corner still had to be carried out, so Concubine Yuan Shu said: "We will talk about that girl's matter later. I still advise you not to worry too much about it. This matter is not reliable. As for
If you said that the person who knows something has arrived in your palace, then I will not search in the palace." She thought about it again and said solemnly: "If it doesn't work, we have to speed up the progress of this matter.
If you don’t ascend the throne, I won’t feel at ease for a day. If you ascend the throne as soon as possible, I will have peace of mind. Then I, the old man, have served you enough.”
