However, the first person to be shocked by the news today was the palace, especially the Wenhua Palace. In the morning, Yunxi strangely did not wait for Yunwen, but left early. This should have attracted Concubine Lu's attention, but today
Because Yunwen had a tendency to catch a cold, Concubine Lu was busy caring about Yunwen and ignored him.
After Yunwen went out, Concubine Lu got the news. Lao Zhu asked Yunxi to worship for him on the grounds of illness. Concubine Lu almost fainted after receiving the news. Then she calmed down for a while, regained her consciousness, and called
Some of these people were people she brought into the palace when she entered the palace, and some were people she collected later. There were six people in total. After a while, these people filed in.
Concubine Lu said: "Today, Your Majesty asked Yunxi to pay homage to King Qianning on his behalf. He is going to make Yunxi the grandson of the emperor. Is there anything you can do to stop it?"
Someone asked: "Your Majesty asked Yunxi to worship people on his behalf, does this mean that he will be made the emperor's grandson?" This person was not familiar with the subtext of the palace order.
Concubine Lu replied: "It's absolutely true."
Someone else asked: "Then is there any use in spreading slander?"
Concubine Lu said: "Your Majesty has made up his mind, it must be useless."
One person said: "Then we can only use the last resort. The empress did not adopt it after hesitation last time. What do you think today?"
Concubine Lu paused and said: "If it is discovered, then..."
The man continued: "His Royal Highness (referring to Yun Wen) is the son of the former Crown Prince, and at worst a prince. Even if he is discovered, Your Majesty will not implicate His Highness; but if it succeeds, he will be the Nine-Five Supreme."
Concubine Lu still hesitated: "Your Majesty has very strict control over the palace, so the chances of success are probably very low."
The man continued: "Congratulations to your Majesty. A few days ago, I received your grace and came out of the palace to visit relatives. I heard from my brother that he recently got a new poison. It seems to have been introduced from Nanyang. I don't know.
What is the reason? Once this poison is eaten into the stomach, the person who has taken the poison seems to have no abnormality, but the person's body is infested with worms, and the worms eat his internal organs, and finally break out of the body."
"This kind of poison can be cured within ten days, but after ten days, when the stomach starts to hurt, it is difficult for gods to save it. Moreover, the servant's family used silver to test the poison and other methods to find out that it is poison. It is very miraculous."
Of course Concubine Lu was unwilling to use this method, not only because she might be discovered, but also because Yunxi had been raised by her when she was a child, and she also had feelings for him, although they faded away later; thirdly, she was afraid of damaging her moral character. But at this time, she could not care about anything.
He said, "Then, go and get ready." Then he sent them away.
Concubine Lu walked alone in the palace, thinking to herself, "Yunxi, don't blame me, who asked you to compete with Yunwen for the position of crown prince." She also prayed secretly, "God, if there is any retribution for this matter, it will be
The retribution should be on me, it has nothing to do with Yun Wen, don't involve him.'
After a while, Yunwen came back. Concubine Lu knew that it was meaningless to question and blame Yunwen at this time, so she continued as usual. When it was time for Yunwen to cry when they were alone, they spent these days together.
All the hidden things were told to Concubine Lu. Concubine Lu was busy comforting him.
Concubine Li also received the same news at almost the same time, and immediately realized that Yunxi was going to be the emperor's grandson. Although sticking it to her at this time would be the icing on the cake instead of providing help in a timely manner, she did not regret letting go of the opportunity to provide help in a timely manner.
At that time, Yunxi was not guaranteed to win, and it was very risky to bet rashly. There were many crises in the palace. Without this caution, she would have died countless times. But when it was time to stick, she would never hesitate.
.
Concubine Li called Yunying and told her: "From today on when Yunxi comes back, you will go to Dongnuang Pavilion to visit him every day, rain or shine. Do you remember?"
Yunying didn't know why her mother-in-law said that, but out of trust for her mother-in-law, she nodded and replied: "I know."
Then he asked: "Then what should I tell him? When brother Yunxi went to see me, we couldn't talk at all. Every time, brother Yunxi tried hard to understand my topic and agreed with me."
As he stood there, he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Yun Hei's efforts to respond.
Concubine Li misunderstood Yunying's smile and thought: "The relationship between their brothers and sisters is good." She said: "Didn't you also read the Book of Songs, Shishuo Xinyu and other books? Tell him about the contents of the books.
That's good." Yunying actually didn't like it, but she still nodded.
The couple talked for a while, and Concubine Li let her daughter go. But Concubine Li did not rest after her daughter left. She mobilized her own people to pay attention to Concubine Lu and her servants. She and Concubine Lu
She has been with Concubine Lu for more than ten years. Before getting along with her, she was also observing Concubine Lu when she was a palace maid. She knew that Concubine Lu had an unyielding spirit in her heart. Now that Yunwen's defeat has been determined, Concubine Lu might do something.
'Even if Concubine Lu does nothing, she will still be framed, otherwise I won't be taken seriously if I seek refuge there now.' Concubine Li thought this way.
After Yunxi returned to Dongnuan Pavilion in Wenhua Hall, as soon as he entered the pavilion, Wang Xi, who had followed him to attend the funeral, took a deep breath and said: "Hey, I am riding in His Majesty's carriage today, and there are so many people around to protect me.
I didn’t even dare to express my anger, I was really suffering.”
Wang Jin, who was staying at Dongnuan Pavilion, came up to help Yunxi take off his clothes and said, "Wang Xi, look at you, why are you talking about this on this happy day?"
Wang Xi slapped his head and said, "Look, what are you talking about?" Then he straightened his clothes, paid homage to Yunxi with a big gift, and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, your dream has come true and you have become the crown prince."
Wang Bu and Wang Gong had only been with Yunxi for a short time, so they didn't know how to talk to Yunxi, but at this time they paid homage with a big salute, "Congratulations to Your Highness on becoming the crown prince."
Yunxi smiled and said: "I haven't become the prince yet, why are you so generous and congratulatory? What if I don't become the prince in the future." But Yunxi couldn't help but grin.
After all, he was not too wealthy. He had to hold back his laughter when he attended the funeral just now (it would be great if he laughed at the funeral, and I think Lao Zhu would change his mind). Now he really can't help but be happy.
.
Wang Bu and Wang Gong were feeling uneasy after hearing what Yun Xi said. Wang Xi said, "Hey, isn't this a sure thing? Will Your Majesty change his mind?"
Wang Jin also said: "Your Highness, although I usually think Wang Xi can't say anything correct, I think Wang Xi is right this time. It's impossible for Your Majesty to change his mind."
When Wang Xi saw Wang Jin speaking in support of him, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, look, what I said is right."
Yunxi patted him on the head and said, "What's wrong? Hurry up and clean it up. I have a mission for you."
Wang Xi quickly stopped being cute, packed up with Wang Jin and the other three, and walked into the house.
Yunxi saw that they had all come in, and asked Wang Bu to go out and guard the door to prevent others from coming in. Then he said to Wang Jin: "Wang Jin, when Grandpa Huang officially gives the order, he will probably have to move. Please sort out the things here."
, don’t be in a hurry when moving.”
Wang Jin said: "I understand."
Yunxi said to Wang Xi again: "Wang Xi, you can usually socialize with other eunuchs. After we move, the number of serving eunuchs is expected to increase greatly. First, please list who can stay in Wenhua Hall and who may be others.
Whoever is the spy must be driven away. I don’t ask you to write on paper, and I can’t find a literate person to cooperate with you, but you must have confidence in your heart.”
Wang Xi accepted the order.
Then he said to Wang Gong: "You should pay attention to your clothes in the future and don't let others take advantage of you. In addition, if you help Wang Jin more, Wang Jin and others will be happy. There will be a lot of things in the future, and the two of them will not be able to take care of it."
Wang Gong said happily: "Yes, Your Highness."
Yunhe said to Wang Gong again: "Go out and call Wang Bu in. I have something to tell you. You can go to the door for him." Wang Gong accepted the order and went out.
When Wang Gong went out, Wang Jin said, "Concubine Lu, do you need to keep an eye on her?"
Yunxi thought for a moment and felt that Concubine Lu probably didn't have the courage to kill her, but she was prepared. Besides, Wang Jin's enthusiasm for giving advice should not be dampened, so he still said: "Then you should pay more attention." Wang Jin agreed.
When Wang Bu came in, Yunxi said: "Wang Bu, please pay attention to the food in the future." Wang Bu understood that this was his job to replace Wang Xi in the future - to test the poison, but this was still his trust in him and he obeyed his orders.
.
Yunxi said: "There is nothing else to do for the time being. Please step back." The four of them stepped back and went about their business.
Yunxi was very emotional, so he opened Zuo Zhuan and decided to calm down his mood by reading Zuo Zhuan. However, after reading it for a long time, he still couldn't calm down. He wanted to shout and vent his happiness, but unfortunately he couldn't.
At this moment, Wang Bu came in and announced: "Princess Wenying is here." Yunxi was puzzled at first, but when he realized it, it was Concubine Li who was trying to curry favor with him in turn. But Wenying was his sister after all, so she was busy
Let Wenying come in.
Wenying walked in as briskly as a gust of wind and said to Yunxi: "Third brother, I'm here to see you."
Yunxi said: "Eldest sister is here? Why do you have time to come to me today?" He wanted to tease Wenying.
Wenying said: "Didn't Third Brother come back very late a few days ago when he was busy every day? It was too late and I went to bed, so naturally I didn't have time to see Third Brother. Today, Third Brother is here during the day, so I naturally have time."
"Although Wenying said it very easily, she thought to herself: Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I wouldn't know what to say.
Yunxi smiled, and the topic passed like this.
Wenying asked: "Third brother is reading a book? What book are you reading?"
Yunxi raised the book in his hand to show her and said, "Look, it's Zuo Zhuan. Have you read it?"
Wenying said: "Sir, you have talked about Zuo Zhuan, but it is not interesting. I can't even understand the words of the ancients. Most people in the world who read Zuo Zhuan are arty, because it is said that the Second Master Guan read Zuo Zhuan and imitated it. It is really boring."
Remembering that Yunxi was also reading Zuo Zhuan, he quickly added: "Third brother, I'm not talking about you. Don't get me wrong."
Yunxi was amused by her again and laughed. Wenying couldn't help laughing either.
Afterwards, the brother and sister talked for a while, and Wenying left. After Yunxi spoke to Wenying, he felt strangely calm and started to do business.
