Men should be two completely different creatures during the day and at night. Qi Duoer thought as she watched Jin Shouren hurriedly go out.
She stood outside for half the night last night. She could clearly hear how passionate he was about the woman next to him. Now when he opened his eyes, the light took away not only the dark night, but also the dream-like scenery in the night.
Tender.
A girl came in outside, she looked about 12 or 13 years old. She was the girl Tianguo who had just been promoted recently. This girl looked like she was only 11 or 12 years old, but in fact she was already 28 years old. She was used to
She covered half of her face with her hair and always lowered her head. No one noticed her face or eyes. It was definitely not what an eleven or twelve-year-old child should have.
Qi Duoer glanced at Tianguo. She didn't know where her mother had pulled this girl out from, but she was indeed calmer than the girl from Biguo.
She sighed, looked at the rain and mist outside, and asked softly: "Give her... a drink?"
Tianguo's voice was filled with the unique sweetness of a little girl: "Yes, I drank them all."
"She grew up with me..." Qi Duo'er clutched the handkerchief tightly, "She's careless and doesn't have much thought. Now... let's send her away."
Tianguo pursed her lips tightly before whispering: "Where to send it?"
"Zhuangzi, tell people to watch... After taking this medicine, it will take a month or two to..." Qi Duo'er shook his head: "I can't help her in this life. In the next life, she will be the master and I will be the one."
Slave, I'll pay her back!" He closed his eyes and shed tears, "You don't have to report anything about her to me anymore. When she...don't be careless about her death, ask her to leave in a more dignified manner."
Tianguo didn't even raise his head, he responded and silently retreated.
The rain under the eaves fell on the ground, and the splashing water instantly wet her embroidered shoes. She glanced inside, and then silently went to the back room. There was the room where she and Kui Guo lived.
The door creaked, and she pushed it open and walked in. Suiguo opened his eyes and looked at her in a daze: "Why don't you go to eat? Is someone bullying you again? You are now the big girl next to grandma.
, Don’t be useless. I’ll get up in a while and go deal with them...I can’t always protect you..."
This silly boy!
Tian Guo walked over and quietly held Kui Guo's hand. He was the first person to be selfless and protective of her.
The master asked her to give her dumb medicine, but he didn't give it to her.
The master asked him to mix some other debilitating medicine into the mute medicine. She agreed, but she couldn't take it.
She walked over and covered Kuiguo's mouth. In her puzzled eyes, she whispered: "Don't talk...don't say a word for a while...just think that you are asleep. I called
People will carry you away... I can only help you so far. When you get to Zhuangzi, find a way to escape. The further you go, the better!"
Kui Guo was puzzled at first, with confusion in her eyes. It took a long time, but she seemed to understand something. She didn't know where the strength came from, and pushed Tian Guo away and wanted to get out of bed. She wanted to scream, but there was a lump in her throat.
It felt like something had been stuffed into it, and I just felt sour, astringent, and stuffy. It didn't matter, Tian Guo was lifted up and sat on the ground, looking around in panic, afraid of attracting others.
At this time, Tianguo seemed to have come back to his senses, and slowly knelt beside her, stretched out his hands to hug her. Tears fell into her neck, which made Tianguo feel even more uncomfortable. As a slave, his life
It's never up to you.
"I don't know... I don't know why." Biguo's mouth was close to Tianguo's ear, and his voice was low, "I didn't want to serve the prince, really! I never thought that it was the girl she
Please... I know I can't make a fuss now, and I can't ask. If I make a fuss, I'll really hurt you too. Girl, she... saved my life. Without her, I wouldn't be alive now. You
Don’t worry, I won’t speak… I will never speak again in this life… My life has been given back to her, but don’t worry, I will never betray her in this life… I won’t hurt you…”
Tianguo pursed her lips: "You are a good girl!"
Kuiguo stood up, wiped away her tears, smiled at Tianguo, and acted as if nothing happened, lying on the bed and slowly closing her eyes.
Tianguo got up from the ground and walked to the bed: "Don't be stupid, think of a way to escape." As she said that, she packed up her own and the sweet gold and silver of Crispy Guo and tied them around her waist, "Go out of Beiguo."
About ten miles from the door, there is a forest, and through the forest, there is a river. When the river rose, the bridge above it was flooded. You can't see a bridge there from the outside. But the bridge is very easy to find.
, is next to a big crooked tree at the edge of the forest. You go over this bridge and go up the mountain. There is a small nunnery on the mountain, you go there to stay first."
Crispy Guo held Tianguo's hand tightly and nodded slightly.
Tianguo sighed, an ant can still survive, let alone such a living person.
Qi Duoer knelt in front of the Buddha and recited sutras. Listening to the noise outside, she realized that the old lady was leaving with the fruit on her back. She picked up the beads in her hand and counted them faster and faster.
Kuiguo lay on the back of a woman and glanced at the Buddhist hall through the rain and fog. At this time, the girl must be chanting sutras. She said last night that if we can stay together for a long time, today
No, I'm afraid I won't see you again in this life.
Lying on the carriage, I listened to Tianguo saying to the coachman: "Uncle, I have used the money to make drinks. I just want you to take care of me on the way. There is a sesame cake shop at the north gate. Please stop by and ask for me if it is hers."
The shop is about to change hands..."
Suiguo thought to herself that she could rest assured. Tianguo was smarter than she thought, and she quietly led the carriage and horses through the north gate. In fact, the distance to Zhuangzi was almost the same through the west gate and the north gate.
She was afraid that if it was Ximen who left, she would have no chance.
The carriage moved slowly, and she knew that Tianguo should be standing at the door. She put her hands on her waist, knowing that dozens of taels of silver could always support her survival.
On rainy days, not many people go out of the city, and there are even fewer carriages.
Qingping lifted the car curtain to look out and said softly, "Hey".
Chu Huaiyu frowned, "What's wrong?" She had something on her mind, and her tone was not really good.
Qingping said thoughtfully: "The carriage that just passed by had no curtains on the carriage. I think the driver and the woman looked like the person next to Xiyuan..."
People around Qi Duoer?
Chu Huaiyu suppressed the nausea in his heart and said, "When you go back, keep an eye on that point to see if anything happened." On this rainy day, why are you sending people out of the city in such a hurry?
Qingping responded and asked in a low voice with some uneasiness: "Girl, will the princess meet us? They all said..."
"What are you talking about?" Chu Huaiyu looked at Qingping, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips, "They say it was Princess Yunyin and Concubine Chen who killed my grandfather?"
Qingping's face was a little heavy, "It's not possible that this is happening out of nowhere. Girl, let's beg someone else."
Chu Huaiyu slowly closed his eyes, "I have been studying and practicing calligraphy with my grandfather since I was a child. If I really follow what others say, my grandfather's years of teaching will be in vain."
"So she's not a princess?" Qingping sat upright instantly and looked at Chu Huaiyu's face, as if she wanted to find the answer on her face.
Chu Huaiyu shook his head and said nothing. No, there is no point in pursuing it now. The living are always more important than the dead. Now she is the only person he can find who is still able to help him.
Just as I was lost in thought, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Qingping opened the curtain and stuck her head out. Then she couldn't help but glance at the carriage parked on the road in front of her, "Why aren't you leaving? Go and see what happened?"
Ada responded, walked over to take a look, turned back and said to Qingping: "It's strange, I just saw that the driver was Lao Qian, why is he missing now?"
The road is only so wide. If the carriage blocks here, they will not be able to pass.
Chu Huaiyu looked thoughtfully to both sides, "Go out and look for it."
Ada stopped Qingping and said, "It's better to ask this girl to accompany grandma. I'll go take a look."
On the muddy road, the footprints continued towards the small forest. Ada followed the footprints all the way deeper, but heard the two people talking in the distance.
"This girl...isn't it convenient? Why are you running so deep? The current is so fast, you will probably fall." This was the voice of a woman.
Lao Qian's voice came next: "I asked you to follow, but you hate the rain and don't want to get off the carriage. This is a big deal. This girl is someone close to grandma. She was sent to Zhuangzi to recuperate.
I asked someone to give the doctor fifty taels of silver to keep him healthy. Now that this accident has happened, how can we get better?"
The woman's voice was a little dry: "Let's go back to Zhuangzi first, and then ask more people to search along the river bank. Maybe everything is okay."
Hearing this, Ada hurried back and briefly explained the matter to Chu Huaiyu before the two people came out.
Chu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows, "It's convenient... and you ran into the forest?"
The carriages of wealthy families all have gong buckets.
Why does this sound so strange?
She put the matter in her mind, but lowered the car curtain, "Don't let anyone know I'm in the car."
So, when Lao Qian came out, he saw Ada standing on the roadside and looking around. Then he fixed his sight on Lao Qian, then glanced at the old woman who was following behind, and laughed loudly: "There is no one on the road.
Why are you running into the woods? Could it be that the carriage is not strong enough to withstand the tossing of you two?" He said with a wretched smile.
Lao Qian pointed at Ada: "You are a dog and can't spit out ivory."
The woman's face turned red with shame at Ada's words, and she scolded: "If you dare to act nonsense again, I'll take out your bezoar dog treasure!"
As long as they are not in front of their master, the servants will make harmless jokes in the same place.
Therefore, Lao Qian and the old lady never thought that Chu Huaiyu would be in the car. On the one hand, Ada did not have the courage to be so presumptuous in front of the master, and on the other hand, who would go out on a day like this? What's more, something happened to the Chu family and they were heading to the city.
What are you running for?
The two carriages moved, moved forward two miles, and then parted ways.
This hot spring village is good. The fourth master sent someone over yesterday to ask the people in the village to prepare it. So when I came here today, everything in the village was ready.
After a good soak in the hot spring pool, her body felt a little weak. When she came out, she saw boiled baby corn and edamame beans on the table, and the food was also farm food. She felt a little appetite now and managed to eat a meal.
.I lay on the kang and fell asleep.
The fourth master didn't know what he was busy with. Lin Yutong wanted to ask, but he didn't care.
When I woke up, it was almost dark. Just when I was about to ask where the fourth master was, Sanxi came over and said while handing over the clothes: "The prince's wife is here."
Madam Prince?
"Chu Huaiyu?" Lin Yutong suddenly woke up, "Her nose is really good! How did you find it?"
Sanxi shook her head: "I've been here for a long time, so I didn't want to disturb you. I'm waiting in the hall outside."
As Lin Yutong got up to put on her clothes and wash herself, she murmured: "I never thought it was her who I found?" She thought it was Jin Shouren who came to find Fourth Master.
Chu Huaiyu sat on the chair, turning the tea cup in his hand and looking at the clear light yellow tea soup. This is chrysanthemum tea, which can relieve inflammation!
Is this because you are afraid that you will be angry and make yourself angry?
She knew she shouldn't worry too much, but her grandfather was gone, and no one could support her unconditionally anymore. In the past, she was not afraid of anything, because no matter what happened, her grandfather could take care of things for her. Now, there is no such shield.
My aunt couldn't count on Yu's family at all. She could only cry, make trouble, and hang herself, which was of no use. Now she not only had to stand up, but she also had to protect the Chu family from wind and rain.
She closed her eyes and poured the cold tea into her mouth. The chrysanthemum stamens swayed in her mouth with a hint of sweetness, but she only felt bitter in her heart! It was unspeakably bitter!
"Sister-in-law is here." Lin Yutong stood in the dark and looked at Chu Huaiyu for a long time, then walked out and smiled lightly.
"Your Highness!" Chu Huaiyu knelt down, with a humble look that Lin Yutong had never seen on her before.
Lin Yutong stood quietly in front of Chu Huaiyu, neither helping her up nor speaking, but looking at her bent back.
Chu Huaiyu was not sure what Lin Yutong meant. She knelt on the ground. Now that she did something that she felt was humiliating, she felt less unwilling and resentful. In front of her eyes, all she could see was the embroidered shoes on Lin Yutong's feet. The uppers
There was actually no embroidery on it, only patterns made of rice-sized pearls. How come she had never discovered that Lin Yutong looked simple and never wore pendants on his head and body, but in fact he was also a very particular person.
The two of them knelt and stood facing each other for a long time.
Lin Yutong then said: "Get up." After saying that, she stood up and sat back down.
Chu Huaiyu stood up and looked at Lin Yutong: "Your Highness, I'm here to ask you for help."
"Help?" The look on Lin Yutong's face became strange, "Haven't you heard? The Chu family has fallen to this point because of me and my mother. But you come to me for help, don't you think it's funny?"
Chu Huaiyu pursed his lips, and it took him a long time to raise his eyes: "Your Highness is the only person I can turn to for help."
"You really think highly of me." Lin Yutong chuckled, then shook his head.
A glimmer of light flashed in Chu Huaiyu's eyes: "Your Highness, it is precisely because of your high reputation that I came to your door today."
Lin Yutong looked at Chu Huaiyu with interest: "How do you say this?"
"In the case of the Chu family, even though it is said outside that you and Concubine Chen took action to avenge the Gan family." Chu Huaiyu shook his head, "I don't believe this at all. I know that you are not involved in this matter.
Innocent. It is possible to be a pusher. But there are two prerequisites. First, the emperor must first have the idea of taking down his grandfather. Second, there must be someone with enough weight to kill the Chu family.
The handle." She looked at Lin Yutong with sparkling eyes, "It's not that I underestimate Your Highness, so far, you have not been able to influence the emperor's thoughts. And my grandfather has always been careful in doing things. What he often talks about is,
Careful sailing can sail the ship for ten thousand years. But he has a particularly big weakness, which is to protect his shortcomings. People who protect their shortcomings trust and are undefended to those who are under their wings. My grandfather once said that if he
Damn it, this last knife must have been stabbed by someone close to me." As she said that, a chill appeared on her face, "On the day my uncle...father-in-law came back, I couldn't be more angry with them for agreeing to Qi Duoer and my cousin's marriage.
I wanted to go back to my parents' house, but I found that I couldn't get out of the gate of the Duke's Mansion. From that day on, I felt uneasy, but I didn't know where the uneasiness came from. It had only been a few days, and sure enough, something happened to the Chu family.
And the timing is so coincidental, the father-in-law who came back secretly happened to leave quietly at this juncture. He has not been recovered so far. With so many coincidences coming together, if I can't guess who is responsible, then it's really easy.
Don't live anymore, forget about being stupid. Even if I don't know what the Chu family has done in these years, I can always smell something fishy. In fact, it is not unfair to be reduced to the present. The nine tribes are not implicated. This is already
What an unexpected surprise. Among the people of the Chu family, some deserve to die and some do not deserve to die. Many women and children actually don’t know anything. They have never done anything evil outside the house. I don’t ask for much. If Your Highness really feels that
In such a difficult situation, we only try to rescue a child under the age of three. This is a great kindness to me and the Chu family!"
Chu Huaiyu knelt down and said, "Please, Your Highness!"
Lin Yutong used to think that Chu Huaiyu was a smart person, but that was only in the inner house. But today, she realized that Chu Huaiyu also had such a side. A woman who can understand and see things clearly in the court is really
not much.
"Get up." Lin Yutong glanced at Sanxi, who stood up, helped him up, sat on a chair, and poured a bowl of hot chrysanthemum tea.
Lin Yutong rubbed his forehead and said frankly: "Sister-in-law is a smart person. Let me tell you the truth. The last person your grandfather saw in his life - was me!"
As soon as Chu Huaiyu picked up the teacup, his hand suddenly let go, and the teacup fell to the ground with a harsh sound.
But neither Lin Yutong nor Chu Huaiyu glanced at the ground, they looked at each other.
Chu Huaiyu understood what Lin Yutong meant by what he just said. The last person to see his grandfather meant that his grandfather probably died in her hands.
"Why?" It took Chu Huaiyu a long time to find his voice. But as soon as he asked the question, he felt that he had really asked a stupid question. The place in the prison is not accessible to anyone who wants to. And the same thing
Yes, Lin Yutong is the same even as a princess. She doesn't have that kind of power yet. So there is only one answer, she was ordered to run an errand. The corner of her mouth grinned, showing an expression that seemed to be crying and smiling, "You mean, you
Played the role of executioner for a time."
The person who was sentenced to death only hated the official who sentenced him. But I have never seen anyone who hated the executioner.
This is what she wanted to express.
Lin Yutong took a serious look at Chu Huaiyu. She must not be as calm as she seemed, but she still suppressed all the thoughts in her heart and said this.
She sighed and said: "I don't comment on Prime Minister Chu, but as a father and grandfather, he is definitely competent. Even now, he is still planning for his children and grandchildren. I won't tell you that the Chu family is lying.
Except for some who are really guilty, others will come out soon." None of the crimes Chu Yuan admitted can implicate his family. As for the descendants of the Chu family, there are really some incompetent ones who have violated the law.
He was caught out for the first time and sentenced according to the law. The crime was whatever it was. "This is what your grandfather fought for in the end. It's not my credit." She glanced outside and saw that the sky was slowly turning.
It was getting dark, "You can't go down the mountain today. Go back early tomorrow morning. It's best for the Chu family not to stay in the capital." Even if no one bullies him, this gap in status will drive people crazy.
of.
Chu Huaiyu's lips trembled, her eyes flashed brightly, and she stubbornly refused to shed tears. After a long time, she stood up, knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Lin Yutong, "I know what's going on! Without His Highness's help,
Even if my grandfather wanted to make a plan, he probably wouldn't have a chance. No matter how many grudges were involved, they have all passed. Your Highness's kindness has been remembered by the Chu family." After saying that, he stood up and slowly withdrew.
Sanxi saw her master staring at Chu Huaiyu's back in a daze. He had been gone for a long time and he still hadn't come back to his senses. He whispered: "I don't understand what Mrs. Shizi said. She really has no grudges in her heart.
"
Lin Yutong smiled, "She is a smart person. Things in the court are not so simple to distinguish right from wrong. When you enter the game, you must have the consciousness of being in the game. Don't be proud if you succeed, and don't complain if you lose.
The defeat of the king is nothing more than this. Since the fall of the Chu family is inevitable, if she continues to pursue this matter and become my enemy, what good will it do to her and the Chu family? The dead are dead after all, but the living
People have to live. It's easy to live, but it's difficult to live well. Putting aside those unpleasant things and choosing to surrender to me to protect the Chu family is the smart thing to do!"
It is really not easy to do this.
Sanxi also looked outside: "But if she says she has no grudges, can the master believe it?"
Lin Yutong smiled and said nothing. It didn't matter whether she believed it or not, as long as she saw her value. As for what kind of value she had, that would have to be seen later.
It was already midnight when Fourth Master came back.
"What did you do?" Lin Yutong asked while helping him change clothes.
Fourth Master waved his hand and asked all the girls in the room to get down, and then said: "I'm going to find Guo Yi."
Guo Yi?
Lin Yutong's hand paused, "Why did you go to find him? Have a showdown with him?"
Fourth Master said, "Yeah", "If you don't look for him, he will have to go in."
"How do you say this?" Lin Yutong saw that Fourth Master was getting dressed by himself and handed over the hot tea. "Is it possible that the emperor noticed it?"
"That's not true." The fourth master sat down and took a deep breath, "Not now, does not mean there will not be in the future. The emperor will summon Jin Chengan into the palace soon. Jin Chengan is now considered to have a lifeline by the emperor, but he feels that Yuan
My brother has a great future. From now on, he can only be loyal to the emperor. If he wants to win the emperor's trust, he must submit a letter of surrender. I'm afraid he will be eager to let the emperor know about the secret guard. And he has been keeping a close eye on him before.
Guo Yi is here. When the emperor finds out about Guo Yi and follows the clues, even if he doesn't suspect us, some of the secret guards' power will be exposed."
It turns out that it was planned in advance.
In the middle of the night, the wind came through the window screen, bringing a chill.
Aunt He put the cloak on Mrs. Gan and whispered: "Don't hold on, take a rest."
Mr. Gan shook his head: "We can't finish this matter tonight." As he said that, he seemed to think of something, and said quickly: "Send someone to find Laifu, ask him to tell the emperor, and send someone to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The Ministry of Industry and Industry is keeping an eye on it. When the autumn rain comes, we must be prepared for autumn floods. The autumn harvest is here again. If the rain doesn't stop, this year's autumn taxes will not be collected, and this winter will be difficult again." She said, rubbing her eyebrows.
Waving his hand, he urged Nanny He.
Aunt He sighed and went out neatly.
The emperor was not in the imperial study tonight, but she went to the imperial study as if she didn't know anything, and then went to Li Cairen's Yilan Palace.
Laifu waved his hand, not daring to ask Nanny He to make a sound. He just leaned over gently and asked in a low voice: "Is there something wrong with the imperial concubine?"
As if she hadn't heard the sound coming from the main hall, Aunt He told what the master had told her, "Autumn floods and autumn taxes are both big events. Your Majesty wants me to hand over the information about this as soon as it arrives.
, no delay at all.”
Laifu glanced at the main hall and felt a little bit dissatisfied. He really didn't know whose family in this world belonged to him.
He nodded: "Mom, go back. I'll send someone to take care of it."
Aunt He then turned around and walked back, met Mrs. Gan, and whispered: "...the two of them have been arguing for a long time today. It's already past midnight. If it continues like this, I'm afraid...
"The emperor's body can't hold on much longer.
Mrs. Gan's hand touched the table gently, "No, we don't have enough time. He can't fall down yet..." She waved to Aunt He and whispered a few instructions.
Aunt He hesitated: "Her? OK?"
"Whether it's okay or not, it's most justifiable for her to come forward." There was a complicated look in Mrs. Gan's eyes, "Go ahead and make arrangements."
At dawn, the rain stopped. The sun broke through the clouds and shone on the ground. The chirping of birds seemed to be in my ears, and the air was still filled with the smell of earth.
Li Xiangjun was sitting in front of the dressing mirror. Behind her, a kind-hearted nun with dimples on her face was combing her hair. After the bun was finished, she turned around and picked out golden chrysanthemum-style hairpins from a row of boxes.
Zi, "We should also rise to the occasion."
There was a girl at the side, holding a plate of fresh chrysanthemums: "My dear, this hairpin is also very good."
"Has everything bloomed at this time of year?" Li Xiangjun said with a bit of joy on his face, "I'll make fresh chrysanthemum cakes to eat later. It's better to wear them on your head. The prince is about to marry the princess. As a mother-in-law,
How can you dress up so voluptuously? It’s a joke!”
Grandma who was choosing jewelry said with a smile: "You are still young, it is time to dress up brightly."
"Dress up?" Li Xiangjun's mouth overflowed with a bit of bitterness, "Who are you dressing up for?"
The nun said with a smile: "Look what you said, of course she is dressed up for His Majesty. Look, even if His Majesty is not staying at Beichen Palace, the imperial concubine is still dressed properly."
The smile on Li Xiangjun's face faded a little: "Why mention her?"
Aunt Zhang on the side dismissed all the girls in the room, and then whispered: "My empress, the old slave has asked people to inquire. The emperor has not stayed in Beichen Palace recently. Since Li Cairen entered the palace, only
I stayed at Beichen Palace for two nights, and it seems that during those two nights, the lights were on all night long, and I ordered two late-night snacks in the middle of the night. This must be something, isn't it..." Before she finished her words, everyone understood,
It seems that the Emperor and Concubine Chen are not in the same relationship as men and women. "It's Li Cairen's place... Last night, the Emperor spent more than two hours... Do you want this dragon body?"
Li Xiangjun's face suddenly turned red. He didn't know whether he was embarrassed or angry.
"Your Majesty, the old lady was stupid in the past and provoked this foxy Li Cairen." Nanny Zhang persuaded softly, "But after all, she is your own mother, and she always thinks about you. Although you have a prince under your knees.
, let’s not talk about giving birth to a prince, even if it’s a princess...like Princess Kumogakure. You really don’t want to have a child of your own.” She started to help hold the mirror, “Look.
Look, you are still young, and it is still too late. Li Cairen really defeated the emperor, but it was too late. Besides, Li Cairen carried a child into the palace, and the child happened to be from Duke Jin's palace.
Even though the child is young and senior, the power behind him is huge! What does our prince have to do? The Li family can’t help, and the future crown princess doesn’t know where she is. If the relationship between you and His Majesty becomes too tense,
This... this is not a long-term solution. It is said that a stepmother has a stepfather, but this is no longer true. Your Majesty and your husband have reconciled, and the prince has also benefited. Let's be gentle and don't always be so stiff.
"
Li Xiangjun looked at the woman in the mirror. She was so serious that she almost didn't recognize herself.
Her voice was a little low: "If a man has sex for a long time and with a high frequency, is the impact on his body really that big?"
Aunt Zhang pursed her lips and said, "Please ask the imperial doctor to take a look at your Majesty. You are His Majesty's wife and the Queen. If you come forward, His Majesty will not refuse."
Li Xiangjun brought the mirror over and slowly reeded it on the table, "Go to the Taiyuan Hospital to spread the imperial edict."
In the imperial study room, Emperor Yongkang leaned on the soft pillow, closed his eyes, and felt a little more comfortable. Although he still felt dizzy, he still endured it and did not show it at all.
Jin Chengan knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed to the ground, and said nothing.
Emperor Yongkang chuckled lightly: "Neither the late Emperor nor I have ever treated you badly. I really don't know when you started thinking this way."
Jin Chengan kowtowed heavily twice, "I will die!"
"Ten thousand deaths?" Emperor Yongkang shook his head, "How can you have ten thousand lives? If you die once, you will have nothing."
"I deserve to die!" Jin Chengan kowtowed twice more, and there were already blood stains on the ground. When he raised his head, his forehead was already bloody.
Emperor Yongkang opened his eyes slightly and let out a long sigh, "Don't you understand what I mean by bringing Brother Yuan in? What is going on between me and Prince Duan? Others don't know, but you do.
It's clear. Don't you know whether I will entrust this country to the prince? Isn't it for the sake of children and grandchildren that people struggle all their lives? But I am telling you now that I will pass the throne to Brother Yuan. I guess you will too.
Don't believe me. I won't hide it from you, and I don't have this intention now. Why? You can guess a little bit in your heart. You have selfish motives, and I also have selfish motives. Although I don't have a son now, I have a daughter. So does this grandson.
My grandson is also of my blood. Originally, I didn't want to be in such a hurry to bring the child in because of this reason. We will wait until Yunyin gives birth to a son. But Chu Yuan's matter forced me to advance. However, since the child
If you take him in, I will still treat you the same. But no matter who the prince is, he is your grandson. What do you call your own grandson?"
Jin Chengan really believed this. Things inherited by blood are all natural. The emperor is no exception. He knocked down hard as if he didn't know the pain, "I am guilty! I dare not hide it from your majesty anymore."
Then, he raised the Zhezi respectfully above his head, "This is what I know about the secret guards. It's all on the Zhezi. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."
Secret guard?
Emperor Yongkang rolled over and sat up. He almost fell off the couch because he got up in a hurry. Laifu quickly helped him, and then handed the emperor the fold in Jin Chengan's hand.
The emperor felt dizzy, squinted his eyes, and read the book roughly. He said in disbelief: "You mean the secret guard is in Guo Yi's hands now?"
Jin Chengan nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty! It's accurate."
□□ Accurate! That’s for sure.
"Guo Yi!" The emperor lay down, slapped his forehead with a fold, and said with some annoyance: "How come I forgot about him? He stayed with the late emperor for decades..."
Jin Chengan was about to answer the call when he heard a report from outside: "Your Majesty, the Queen is asking for an audience outside the palace."
Why did she come at this time?
Emperor Yongkang stood up and waved his hand to Jin Chengan: "You can go back first. We will talk about it later." As he said that, he looked at the injury on his head and said, "This injury... was caused by asking me to pardon the Chu family's women and children.
Understand?"
Jin Chengan's eyes flashed and he lowered his head: "Yes! I understand."
