"Your Majesty..." Feng Qian'en whispered: "How about we go outside and talk. It's too cold here, and your Majesty's dragon body is tight."
"It's okay!" Emperor Xuanping pushed Feng Qian'en away and wanted to bend down, but felt that his body was too stiff. He just sat on the ground of the ice cellar. He didn't seem to feel the ice water soaking his clothes. He just wanted to wash his face.
He leaned closer to the woman so that he could see her clearly. He leaned over and faced her face to face. Their eyes met. Emperor Xuanping was stunned for a moment: "Is that you?"
"Yeah." The person on the ground nodded slightly, "It's me!"
Emperor Xuanping stood up and quickly reached out to help her: "You... why is it you..." After saying that, he called Feng Qian'en, "Quick! Help her up quickly."
Feng Qian'en said "Oh" in a daze, and half dragged the person out of the ice cellar. A charcoal pot had been lit outside, and hot tea was steaming in the small charcoal stove next to it.
After the woman leaned against the brazier, she shivered even more. The ice on her face melted and her face was wet. I don't know if it was water or tears.
Emperor Xuanping wiped her face with his sleeve: "Why are you? I didn't mean to do this to you."
"I know." 'She' had the same face as Hua Yingxue, but just looking at the expression in her eyes and the tone of her voice, she felt that this was a completely different person. She sighed leisurely, "How could she commit such a crime?
Huh? I never believed in this kind of magic before... now I believe it."
Emperor Xuanping frowned: "That means she will wake up soon. So now, we still have some time, do you have anything to say to me..."
'She' chuckled lightly, then slowly shook her head: "You definitely won't take me to see my body, right?"
Emperor Xuanping was silent for a moment: "What do you want to get? How to get it, you tell me and I will help you get it. Don't worry, I won't... leave you alone."
Yeah?
‘She’ murmured: she said it again.
Emperor Xuanping didn't hear clearly and thought she was saying something important, so he quickly asked: "What did you say?"
'She' raised her head and looked at him quietly: "There is something I want to ask you."
Emperor Xuanping nodded and handed over a cup of hot tea: "You say it, just say it."
"I want to ask you... have you ever... loved me?" She held the tea, her hands trembling. "I just want to ask you, have you ever... loved me...
…Even if it’s just for a day or a moment, even if it’s just a moment of thought…”
"Of course." Emperor Xuanping said firmly, "You like treasures and antiques, so I built the Treasure Pavilion for you. Over the years, it has never stopped... You said back then that even if you don't have the beauty of a city, you still hope that I can.
I will love you all over the country. You see, after all these years, it’s time for me to pass your test..."
is that so?
Yes! That’s what I said.
When in love, no one has ever said a few silly words that make people blush when they think about it later.
If it was really just to keep his promise to himself, he would still be considered an infatuated person.
But that's not what he thought. He regarded this as a test.
A test?
All good things are intentional!
"The emperor's favor..." Sure enough, you shouldn't ask for it. 'She' smiled and said, "Back then, you promised me that my son would inherit the throne. Do your words still count?"
"Is it for this?" Emperor Xuanping pondered for a moment, "Deposing the prince is not something that can be done in a day or two, let alone by wanting to do so. The prince has no fault, if there is no reason..."
"That's your business." 'She' blinked, a trace of clarity flashed in her eyes, "If you want the wealth of an emperor and immortality, you can't do it. You can only choose between the two.
One. If you choose the latter, then don't be wary of me. I can't use my magic weapon. But you have dragon energy, so you can still use it. In exchange, you have to help me make two pieces.
First, find a way to get 'Hua Yingxue' out of this body. Second, my son must inherit the throne, and I must be the queen mother. Otherwise, even if you kill me, I won't tell you the secret.
.Since I can’t go back, I might as well stay with you.”
Emperor Xuanping looked at 'her' in astonishment, "Are you...really her?"
"Isn't it the same?" 'She' smiled, "Those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. Hua Yingxue and I... after such a long time, we will eventually learn something."
Emperor Xuanping was speechless, looked at her quietly and said: "I don't have much time..."
"Then you have to hurry up." 'She' slowly closed her eyes, "You said you loved me and that you wanted to spoil me... Back then, I actually had many opportunities to walk away.
But it is greed... greed for the favor of an emperor. Now, you want to abandon me, but you don't have the slightest nostalgia. Due to circumstances and reasons, do you have to try your best to do something for me? Besides, if I will live forever
The opportunity to attain Taoism has been given to you, so there will be cause and effect between us. This effect must be resolved, otherwise... You have read many Taoist books over the years, right? You should know the cause and effect after all.
The great thing..."
Emperor Xuanping was silent for a moment and then said in a low voice: "Okay!"
'She' smiled: "I'll wait."
"Let me change you to a more comfortable place." Emperor Xuanping stood up and went to help 'her'.
'She' waved her hand: "No, the outside here is quite nice. Please remove the charcoal basin. It's too comfortable. She will come back. I still want to live a normal life for a few days.
.”
After Emperor Xuanping came out, Feng Qianen locked the door.
His heart was beating fast, "Your Majesty..." He hesitated to speak.
Emperor Xuanping waved his hand: "Keep an eye on her for two days and then talk."
"Yes!" Feng Qianen helped Emperor Xuanping walk back, not daring to say anything else along the way.
At this time, there was only a woman sitting in front of the brazier outside the ice cellar.
Her voice was sometimes cold and sometimes helpless.
He said coldly: "Look, I have told you a long time ago that the emperor has no true feelings. You still try to excuse him. Over the years, I have been in love with him, but you don't believe it. You just think that I am
Evil person. Silly girl, there are many good people in this world, but it's a pity that you haven't met one."
"Who said that?" The helpless one said, "People from the Yin family are all good people."
"A lustful idiot." The cold voice scolded again: "Your life is what Yin Bofang wants. If it weren't for him, do you think Wu Jingsi would be so bold as to kill you!"
The helpless one seemed to be a little angry, and said anxiously: "You are the idiot! Your whole family is idiots! You are the one who said it about the Yin family, so why should it be okay if you say it, but not if I say it..."
The cold voice was as cold as ice, "My whole family died because they were too stupid. This is true. So, you'd better not be too stupid. Tell me the trick quickly. Tell me,
I'll let you go. Find a good host and you can live a good life. Otherwise..."
"I've been threatening you for so many years..." The helpless voice was even more helpless than before, "I said there was nothing I could do if you didn't let me go. You didn't believe me. What should I do? Let's just endure it. Let's see who endures it.
Who can you survive? I couldn’t survive you before, but now... I can survive you..."
"Damn Mrs. Chen." The cold voice snorted, "Sure enough, the biting dog didn't bark. I didn't prevent her from doing this..." After saying that, he paused: "That's wrong! Did she know that?
It’s a bit much...Wait a minute, did you do something with Li’s help..."
"You are too suspicious." The helpless voice said this hastily, but then the voice faded away.
The woman shuddered, and the conversation between the two ended.
At this time, the woman's face was completely cold, and there was only a hint of sarcasm in the corner of her mouth, "So, we must remove the roots." She was not very proficient in her own magic back then, otherwise,
There will be no such mistakes.
Of course, all the things we are doing now must be eradicated. With such a strong grandson alive, many things are hard to say. Especially that stupid woman, who wants her son to ascend the throne.
Her son? He is obviously Li's son.
If she cares about others, they may not necessarily care about her.
Lin Yukang, who was about to celebrate Mr. Chen Ge's birthday after leaving the palace, sneezed hard.
"Who is talking about me?" Lin Yukang muttered as he wiped the tears shed from sneezing with a handkerchief.
"I'm afraid it's Concubine Li." The palace attendant next to him whispered, "You should see where Concubine Li is before you come out."
In any case, the empress is sick, and as a son, it is both emotional and reasonable for her to go.
Lin Yukang turned back and smiled at the eunuch: "How about I send you to my mother's palace to serve you?"
The eunuch shrank in fear, but Lin Yukang gave up.
After putting the veil away, the carriage stopped. The eunuch quickly asked outside: "What's going on?"
The groom whispered outside: "It's the carriage from the East Palace coming out of the fork..."
"It just so happens that I also want to eat kidney bean cake." Lin Yukang opened the curtain and saw Li Ji: "Buy two more catties and send them to Jiuchong Palace later."
"Didn't you follow?" Lin Yutong asked Lin Liang.
Lin Liang shook his head: "I didn't follow you. A eunuch got off the carriage and headed towards the snack shop."
Lin Yutong raised her eyebrows. This third prince was quite interesting. She smiled and asked Lin Liang to send someone, "Go and buy two kilograms of butter rolls and two kilograms of honey bean cakes. Pass them to the carriage behind and tell me what I say.
Tell them to take care of themselves."
"Brother is really interesting." Roujia used a clean handkerchief to hold the butter roll and handed it to the princess, "We went to my grandma's house to celebrate her birthday. As if she was worried that we wouldn't have enough to eat, she bought some snacks.
It’s called Dian Dian. Since it’s my brother’s wish, my mother-in-law eats some of it, and it’s still hot. The business at this place is so good, they’re all sold out as soon as it comes out of the pot.”
The Crown Princess took it and said, "Don't just worry about me, you can eat some too. Isn't that the honey bean cake you like? Eat more."
Roujia responded with a smile: "It seems that today I have saved food for my grandfather's family." After saying that, she smiled again: "Mother Concubine, it has only been a long time since my brother came back, and my daughter has gained a lot of weight.
The waist of the clothes must be given two inches..."
The Crown Princess promised, "It's a blessing to be able to eat, and you'll look better when you're fat," but she knew in her heart that Tong'er told her to eat something first just to tell herself that she might not have a good feast today.
Roujia had a smile on her face, but her eating movements slowed down. She couldn't see her mother's carelessness. She always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know where it came from... This feeling still made her feel like an outsider.
The Chen family is the hometown of the pavilion and the natal family of the crown prince. The location of the mansion is naturally good.
Speaking of which, it is actually on par with the Yin family.
However, compared with the Yin family, the Chen family is much more lively. Not to mention the immediate branches of the Chen family, there are some distant branches, either living in the alley near the Chen family, or simply staying in the Chen family.
Therefore, as soon as we arrived at Chen's house, a warm atmosphere hit us.
It is said that it is not easy to do, but there is no way to stop this formation.
As soon as Lin Yutong's carriage entered the alley, the noise stopped abruptly.
Chen Qingcang took the lead and stood outside the alley to greet him. When he saw Lin Yutong, he had to salute. Lin Yutong personally helped him up: "You are the birthday boy, so you don't need so many gifts."
The others knelt down, but Lin Yutong did not stop them.
She looked at it with a smile and saw that Chen Shengxuan's movements were obviously slower than others.
This is because I don’t want to kneel to myself.
After sending the Crown Princess to the door of the inner house, all the complicated etiquette was completed.
Lin Yutong was invited to Chen Qingcang's study. After entering the study, the guests and hosts were seated. They were very polite, but they did not have the attitude that a minister should have towards a king.
Chen Qingcang slowly brewed tea and said to Lin Yutong: "What are your plans for the future?"
"Go to Liangzhou and herd horses and sheep." Lin Yutong leaned back on the chair casually, "To be honest, I grew up in Beikang, so I'm not very used to the capital."
Chen Qingcang raised his eyebrows: "I thought you..."
"I don't dare." Lin Yutong took over, "It hasn't happened yet. There are already so many people thinking about taking my life. How can you dare to have more evil thoughts?"
Chen Qingcang knew that he was deeply worried about the assassination in Liangzhou.
He didn't care about it and just smiled: "That's my order. Your Highness should understand that this is for the good of the East Palace..."
"It's for the good of the Chen family." Lin Yutong refused to give in and brought a cup of tea brewed by the other party, "Tell me something that Mr. Chen Ge doesn't like to hear. Do you know the reason why you have never been able to surpass Yin Bofang and become the chief assistant?
?”
Chen Qingcang paused with his hand holding the teapot, and then started to share the tea again. He smiled like an elder who was unwilling to argue with ignorant juniors, and his tone was a bit careless to coax a child: "I would like to hear the details.
.”
"You're not bad at running the country, you're just better at running your own life." After saying that, he sniffed the tea under his nose and put it back.
Chen Qingcang was stunned for a moment while holding the tea, and then slowly nodded: "Master Yin will be pleased to hear your words. It has not been easy for him these years."
"It's just a little stupid." Lin Yutong's words brought out a bit of disapproval.
Chen Qingcang couldn't help but laugh, and looked Lin Yutong up and down: "To be honest, if you weren't... in my opinion, you are a qualified grandson."
Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows and skipped this meaningless topic: "You made such a big fight just to see me and talk to me in private. Isn't that just for the sake of talking about this?"
of course not?
Chen Qingcang asked again: "What are your highness's plans from now on?"
To others, this sentence seems to sound similar to the sentence at the beginning.
In fact, the two are quite different.
What he said was 'Your Highness', which meant asking himself, as the grandson, what would he do next?
Lin Yutong picked up the cup again and took a sip: "In Mr. Chen Ge's opinion, what should we do?"
Chen Qingcang looked directly at Lin Yutong: "As a minister, I should cut off the situation, otherwise I will be disturbed."
oh?
Unexpectedly, he was the most decisive person.
Quite interesting.
Lin Yutong was not in a hurry to speak, and only asked Chen Qingcang: "Why didn't you say this to the prince?"
Chen Qingcang lowered his eyelids and sighed leisurely: "Whether your Highness believes it or not, I and the prince have never been compatible. When the prince succeeds to the throne, I may not be the hero. But once the matter fails, or let the East Palace
If the Chen family falls, the Chen family will inevitably be implicated. When His Highness evaluated the minister before, he said that the minister is 'good at planning for one's own life'. This... I admit it. Precisely because I am good at planning for one's own life, when he saw the people in the East Palace,
In times of crisis, I was afraid... I was afraid that the Chen family would be buried with the East Palace. Since they were tied to a boat and could not be untied, naturally, to save the East Palace was to save the Chen family. Planning for the East Palace was planning for the Chen family. In this matter,
The interests of the Chen family and the East Palace are consistent. There should be no conflict with your interests. If you are still worried about the assassination, I will be willing to die to apologize after the matter is over. However, this time
The old minister must talk to the grandson about the matter. I am an old minister, and I am very familiar with His Highness the Crown Prince. If it is a peaceful event, and Haiyan Qingping is peaceful, then the wise, tolerant and honest prince can be a wise king. But now the current situation
, I believe that only those with great courage cannot achieve anything..."
A flash of disapproval flashed in Lin Yutong's eyes: "Mr. Chen Ge, we don't talk secretly. Some things don't look good if they are made clear."
On the one hand, he felt that it was absurd and inappropriate for him to occupy the position of grandson, and on the other hand, he said that the world needed a grandson like himself.
He said everything.
Rearranging this order means that now you still need to charge into battle. But what happens after? Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, a bridge that can be easily demolished is not only easy to use, but also simple to deal with. The reasons are all ready-made, Li Daitao
The dove occupies the magpie's nest.
Besides, she still hasn't figured out the reason why Emperor Xuanping asked people to stare at Mr. Chen Ge.
Therefore, although some of Chen Qingcang's words actually coincide with Lin Yutong's, it does not mean that she is willing to be a weapon for others.
Chen Qingcang's eyes were a bit sharp: "His Highness's words... I call this veteran... how can I be embarrassed?"
Lin Yutong held the tea cup in his hand and slowly turned it around: "Mr. Ge, if you were more honest, we still need to continue talking."
"I didn't want to hide it from His Majesty." Chen Qingcang chuckled: "I did offend Your Majesty. But this matter is really a mistake."
Lin Yutong was speechless and listened to him quietly.
"...I am relatively familiar with the Ministry of Industry," he said.
Lin Yutong understood what this meant. The Ministry of Industry was the minister and Chen Qingcang's disciple. The elders of the cabinet had been in charge of government affairs for so many years, so they each had some ability. At least the Ministry of Industry was Chen Qingcang's sphere of influence.
.
When it comes to the Ministry of Works, something must have happened to the Ministry of Works.
"Yes! Something happened to the Ministry of Industry, but I have been keeping this matter under wraps before." Chen Qingcang sighed, "The matter lies with the Ordnance Bureau, the Annihilation Bureau... and the Baoyuan Department..."
Lin Yutong's expression suddenly changed, "You are brave!"
Do you dare to hide such a thing?
The Ministry of Industry has such institutions as the Battalion and Repair Office, the Wensi Institute, the Leather Making Bureau, the Saddle and Bridle Bureau, the Baoyuan Department, the Pigment Bureau, the Ordnance Bureau, the Dyeing and Weaving Institute, the Firewood and Carbon Department, etc.
Not to mention anything else, as soon as you hear the name of this Armory Bureau, you can tell that all the military equipment comes from here. And this Saddle and Bridle Bureau is not just an ordinary yamen. It is also called the Armor Bureau. In other words, it
The main function is to make armor for the army and provide harnesses with the Jingguo logo for war horses. From horseshoes to bridles, everything is marked and numbered.
And what does Baoyuansi do? It mints coins. It not only mints copper coins circulating in the world, but also re-melts gold and silver before entering the national treasury.
It was either silver or weapons and armor, and both had problems at the same time.
Is this a trivial matter?
But according to Chen Qingcang's words, he actually kept this huge matter under the tip of his tongue. Not to mention informing other pavilion elders, he even hid it from the emperor.
What does he want to do?
It doesn't matter if you don't hide it. Once you hide it, you will habitually associate this matter with Dong Gong.
After all, he is the prince's father-in-law. If this was not done by Dong Gong, it would be Dong Gong's doing.
Lin Yutong sneered: "You are coercing the East Palace to act." His intentions are to be punished!
Chen Qingcang sighed: "I want to say that I was really kind-hearted at that time. Even your Highness doesn't believe it."
Of course I don’t believe what your good intentions are!
Lin Yutong slowly sat down again, and when he opened his mouth, he said, "Then I really want to hear Mr. Chen Ge's kindness?"
"My grandson is very sharp in his actions. The Jiangnan group is even more prosperous and powerful." Chen Qingcang shook his head, "I don't really know my grandson well. I asked Yunhe to speak to me more than once.
I wanted to see my grandson. But you are busy with things and have never taken the time. I thought it was you, your grandson... As a result, before I could ask you to confirm whether this matter has something to do with you or the East Palace... Unexpectedly, the emperor
I understand. Your Majesty asked people to keep an eye on me. Since I didn’t know whether it was related to the grandson, I naturally thought that I was going to the East Palace. But looking at His Highness’s reaction, this matter must have nothing to do with the East Palace and you. But
This is also not a good thing." He said and shook his head: "The Ordnance Bureau and the Animation and Bridle Bureau lost all the drawings. As for the Baoyuan Department... I can only say that someone must have tampered with it. I suspect that it is the silver coins that were put into the warehouse.
There is a problem, but unfortunately, I do not have the right to enter the treasury to inspect. What is worse is that I have been paying attention to the actions of the household department, but the household department has always been calm. Even if the emperor knew about this matter, he did not seem to take too many actions."
This is either indifference and not thinking about the country or the country. Or he is well aware of the matter but does not want to pursue it. If it is the latter, then it means that the matter has something to do with the emperor. Then the problem is again, the emperor secretly raises
What is the purpose of a group of soldiers that can be called "private soldiers"? Who is he guarding against? Who is he going to use this group of people to deal with?
Lin Yutong understood what he meant. What he wanted to say was: You don't want to kill others, but someone is already sharpening the knife.
If all this has nothing to do with the emperor, then this group of people is aiming at Dajing's country. And whose country belongs to Dajing? In the final analysis, it belongs to the East Palace.
If all this has something to do with the emperor, who is the only one who can threaten the emperor besides the prince?
So no matter who this person is, Donggong is in the game.
In such a situation, some of Chen Qingcang's "mistakes" are not the focus at all.
Therefore, he said: "The East Palace is in danger, that is, the Chen family is in danger. If you change it to a wise king, I will not be so worried. But Your Majesty, what he likes most is to be implicated. The whole Chen family is in the capital, and there are hundreds of people up and down. You
We say that I am good at planning my own life, how dare I not be good at planning my own life?" As he said that, he sighed again: "No matter what you think, to me, I am my blood relative. Even if you don't like my plans.
As for the art of the body, I still want to say that from now on, you should make more plans for your own body, which will not do you any harm."
Lin Yutong stood up and said, "Mr. Chen Ge, you are wrong. I don't look down on your skills to save yourself. On the contrary, I admire your way of protecting yourself. Of course, it would be better if you can benefit yourself without harming others.
Already."
After finishing speaking here, Lin Liang reported outside, saying that His Highness the Crown Prince had sent someone to ask her to go back.
This is what I had agreed with the prince before, so I wouldn't delay any more at the Chen family.
Everyone tacitly understood that Lin Yutong was leaving, and Chen Qingcang did not stay. The host sent him off politely, and the guest left apologetically. There was nothing unusual about it.
Lin Yutong just asked someone to go in and talk to the Crown Princess, and that was all.
Chen Shengxuan had previously helped Chen Qingcang entertain guests. Now he saw that the host and guest had left, so he had time to go to the study room and asked, "Father, how was the conversation?"
Chen Qingcang's eyes flashed with hatred: "You... are quite noble."
What does this mean?
Chen Shengxuan frowned: "But the negotiation didn't go well?" Take it out on yourself!
fool!
Chen Qingcang no longer had any thoughts to give advice, and waved his hand and said: "Go out and greet the guests. In addition, send a message to your wife and ask her to quietly invite the Crown Princess to Qiansi Pavilion..."
"Qiansi Pavilion?" Mrs. Xin asked the girl who sent the message again: "Is it Qiansi Pavilion?"
"Yes!" The girl whispered: "It's Qiansi Pavilion."
Mr. Xin chuckled lightly, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes, "I understand, go ahead."
After marrying into the Chen family for so many years, she has never stepped foot into Qiansi Pavilion. Of course, the old man is not qualified to go in. What she is proud of is that a few months ago, Yunhe was finally allowed to go in by the old man of the family. This child
You even have to sweep and scrub at Qiansi Pavilion every day, but in the Chen family, this is a privilege.
The daughter-in-law of the Chen family knows the glory here. As the crown princess, the daughter of the Chen family does not know the significance of it to the Chen family.
After getting rid of a group of flattering official ladies, she simply stood up.
There is really no good feast today. Sit here, everyone is asking around her. What are you asking about? Ask the grandson how to choose the concubine and the concubine. Many people earn money based on their status.
It doesn't matter if you don't get married, you can also serve as a concubine. They said it very implicitly. They only said that they wanted to be sent to the Crown Princess, so they should follow the example of having a high eyebrow but a low eye.
This topic is definitely not a good topic for the Crown Princess.
Coupled with the fact that there was Xin next to her who knew the basics, the princess felt uncomfortable all over.
But now standing in Qiansi Pavilion, how could she feel comfortable?
Qiansi Pavilion, which has an extraordinary status in the eyes of the Chen family, few people know what it looks like inside. The Crown Princess came in once before she got married, and now this is the second time.
In fact, this is an ordinary attic. The only difference is that there is nothing else in it except a few futons.
Whenever there is a big event, Chen Qingcang has to go to Qiansi Pavilion and think about what he has to do several times in his mind. When he becomes the pavilion elder, he comes here more often. Whenever he enters here, Chen Qingcang
The family knew that the old man had something he couldn't resolve.
As soon as the princess stepped in, she saw her father sitting cross-legged on the futon.
She didn't speak, and sat quietly cross-legged on the edge.
After waiting for half an hour, Chen Qingcang said: "Mei'er, you know, my father and your mother never thought of asking you to climb the dragon and the phoenix."
The Crown Princess said 'hmm', her mother did it out of sincere love. But what about her father? He was afraid that his status as a relative would limit his future. Maybe it was unfair to say this, but over the years, she has reached this age.
. But this idea still hasn’t changed at all.
Chen Qingcang could no longer read any unnecessary emotions from his daughter's face. He opened his eyes and slowly closed them: "Back then, what you did was stupid. Of course, Mrs. Xin is even stupider than you.
.”
The princess didn't want to mention what happened before, so she just asked: "What did my father want to say when he called me over?"
"Thousands of Thoughts, there is a Thousands of Thoughts Pavilion at home, but none of you are willing to think twice about your actions." Chen Qingcang's face showed a bit of exhaustion, "Meier, do you know that back then?
The seeds of trouble have not been eliminated. If you don’t rely on your parents’ family, what else will you rely on in the future?”
The princess's heart beat rapidly for a few times, and then she smiled again: "Father, my daughter is now the princess, not the little girl who used to embroider in the boudoir. Father, I have grown up. So, don't take me for granted.
Fooled like a child."
"Yes, I have grown up." Have you grown up? Chen Qingcang opened his eyes and said: "Since I have grown up, I will tell you straight away... The Chen family is in deep crisis. If the East Palace does not move, the Chen family will definitely die.
.Without the Chen family, you...even the grandson, even the East Palace, may..."
"What's possible?" The Crown Princess laughed: "Father, my daughter has always been worried that the East Palace will cause trouble to the Chen family. But now you mean... that the Chen family may bring trouble to the East Palace..."
Chen Qingcang's face looked a little ashamed: "The thing happened to your aunt..."
Concubine Chen?
Chen Qingcang nodded and told everything about what happened at the Ministry of Works, "...there is Princess Anqing's involvement in this. In this matter, Your Majesty... doesn't seem to have much suspicion about the prince. On the contrary, he is suspicious of his father...
"
"Yes." The Crown Princess nodded: "Yes, I remembered... My father was the teacher of the second and third princes. You have always been a roly-poly in the officialdom. No one can tell where you are from?"
The words were a little rude, but she still said them. But then she changed her words: "But even with An Qing's handiwork, the Chen family will not die..."
"But once the Chen family is involved, those who are interested will definitely involve the East Palace." Chen Qingcang didn't care about the rudeness and took over the conversation naturally, "True or false, sometimes it's really not that important. Just look at the Sacred Heart.
Yes! Are you sure that the Holy One will not use this as an excuse to attack the East Palace?"
cannot.
The Crown Princess took a deep breath: "You should tell the Prince, or if it doesn't work, you should tell the Grandson, and tell your daughter, what do you want her to do?"
Chen Qingcang gave the Crown Princess a strange look: "Tell the grandson? Do you also want me to tell the grandson?"
Yes! Is there anything surprising about this?
"Of course it's strange." You didn't realize that in your heart, the prince and grandson were placed in the same position. And you knew very well that her grandson was just a teenage girl.
The Crown Princess understood what he meant from Chen Qingcang's eyes, and she lowered her eyelids: "You just think you have two grandsons and one granddaughter. It's the same as what she said."
Yes! I figured it out after we talked about it alone.
"It's just... it's a pity." He sighed and said: "Looking at what Taisun did before, it was all about planning and then acting. Once he takes action, it will definitely be thunderous. In fact, my father is not interested in Dong Gong and Chen.
The family is worried. Once I tell my grandson, the burden has been lifted. The short-term crisis for the Chen family has been resolved. The real danger for the Chen family lies in the future."
"What about the future?" the Crown Princess asked as she stood up.
"From now on..." Chen Qingcang chuckled: "If the great grandson is stable, the Chen family is in danger; if the great grandson is in danger, the Chen family is also in danger. What do you think is the way out for the Chen family?"
The princess understood this.
If Tong'er secures the throne, given her character and the rift with the Chen family, the Chen family will not be in trouble. If Wu'er is replaced, the situation may not be a good thing for the Chen family. How should the courtiers treat Wu'er's situation?
He? There are many people who are dissatisfied! It is hard to say what kind of chaos the situation will become, and as a maternal family, the Chen family cannot ignore it at all. But obviously, the father believes that it is a big deal to entrust the fate of the Chen family to such a grandson.
Dangerous things.
There is another possibility, that is, it is neither Wu'er nor Tong'er. If this is the case, this will be the end of the road for the Chen family. If the direct lineage is not cleared, no one will feel at ease if they take the top position. Everyone understands this truth
.
Therefore, Chen Qingcang's worries are not unnecessary.
The princess said: "Father, haven't you ever thought about resigning and returning home?"
What?
Chen Qingcang looked at his daughter blankly, then laughed. After a long time, he said: "It seems that I have worried too much. Mei'er has grown up... Then, I will respectfully send you off to the Crown Princess."
Chen Yunhe sat quietly on the stairs upstairs, wishing he could rush down.
First they were ‘father’ and ‘mei’er’, but in the end they became ‘old minister’ and ‘princess’.
What's going on with the father and daughter? Why do they feel like they are severing their relationship as they talk?
Why is this so?
Hearing the footsteps downstairs, he lightly stomped his feet and rushed downstairs.
But when he got downstairs, he only saw his grandfather sitting upright. Turning his face, he saw that his aunt had walked away along the corridor in front of the attic. Her back was straight, and there was something he had never seen in his aunt.
Passed momentum.
"What did you say?" He turned and asked his grandfather, "Is there some misunderstanding?"
Chen Qingcang sighed. Once the East Palace is moved, the Chen family's secrets of the East Palace will lose their value. What will happen next? It's hard to say! It's difficult for the Chen family to move or not. He is a little tired.
He beckoned his grandson to come to him: "Come here, my grandfather has something to tell you..."
