Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 504
Everyone must follow His Royal Highness's first order after entering politics, and everything in the palace should be kept simple.And because the Holy Majesty was still in a coma, the empress had no intention of making arrangements, so she announced that the palaces should be reunited by themselves.
Yu Qiu went to Concubine Jin's place, and dragged Yu Ren, who entered the palace yesterday, along with her.Yu Sui wanted to follow along, but was dragged back to Jing'an Palace by Concubine Shu, making his face stern all the way.Concubine Shu Gui didn't have a good face, she called him a little white-eyed wolf, and turned his elbow outward.Originally, she felt that she and Concubine Jin were in the same sympathy, so they walked closer than others, they were not favored, and she was slightly better than her.
But when an imperial decree came down, Concubine Jin's son was named the crown prince, and she began to feel a little uncomfortable.Obviously his status is higher than hers, and his mother's family is better than hers, so why doesn't His Majesty let Sui'er be the crown prince?She even felt that it was better for the second prince to be the crown prince than Yu Qiu.With a knot in her heart, when she looked at Concubine Jin again, her nose was not a nose, and her eyes were not eyes.
Concubine Jin also realized her dislike for saying too many sarcastic remarks, so she automatically stayed away.Concubine Shu was even angrier now, thinking that she would be great if she relied on her son to be the crown prince, she really looked down upon others!
"You are not allowed to go to her palace anymore, and you are not allowed to go to the East Palace. He is the crown prince. Who are you? He doesn't look down on you at all!" Concubine Shu said. Seeing that Yu Sui didn't speak again, she got angry and stretched out her hands to pinch him. "I don't know what crime I did to give birth to you, a little mute! If you can be as sweet as Yu Qiu's mouth, your father will definitely let you be the prince!"
Yu Sui didn't cry when she was pinched by her, but became more silent, with his mouth tightly pressed, and he just didn't say a word.Concubine Shu was so annoyed by him, she stretched out her hands and pinched him a few times before giving up.The nanny at the side didn't dare to catch her breath, seeing that she didn't move anymore, she quickly dragged Yu Sui to the side hall.
The atmosphere in Jing'an Palace is bad, and Xiuchun Palace and Kunde Palace are even worse.
In Xiuchun Palace, Concubine Zhang Guifei was still in the palace, the whole palace was like a snow cave, not a trace of red could be seen.But it was not the environment that suffocated the palace people, but the second prince.Since the canonization ceremony, he has been like a sculpture of ice, with an extremely stern expression. No matter who makes a noise in the hall, he will give him a gloomy look.Those eyes are indescribably terrifying, like being stared at by a poisonous snake, it can make people's hair stand on end.
Thinking back when Concubine Zhang was here, their second prince was gentle, refined, personable, and treated others with kindness and amiability. Which little maid in the palace didn't blush when she saw him?Ever since the imperial concubine left, his mood has been fluctuating, and most of the time he has a sullen face and doesn't know what he is thinking.
"Your Highness, the Empress invites you to Kunde Palace." At some point, Xuemei came over.She looked at Yu Zhi who was sitting in front of the coffin and quietly burning papers, and a trace of distress flashed in her eyes.
"No." Yu Zhi didn't turn his head, nor did he stop passing the paper in his hand.
Xuemei squatted down, and then handed a few pieces of paper money into the brazier. The orange flames shot up and reflected on her beautiful face, adding a bit of warmth to the cold palace.
Yu Zhi glanced at her and asked, "Did she arrange for you to deliver the news for me back then?"
Xuemei froze for a moment, then nodded silently.
Yu Zhi laughed at himself: "I thought I could easily control people's hearts, but who knows that I have always been a marionette in the hands of others."
"...The empress loves you very much, and she often mentioned you in the past." Seeing his depressed look, Xuemei didn't know how to comfort him.
Yu Zhi sighed: "...Maybe we have been doing it wrong all along."
He has nothing now.
"Don't say that, my lady will find a way."
"Go back and answer, let me be alone for a while." After finishing speaking, he turned around and continued to stare blankly at Concubine Zhang's coffin.
Xuemei had no choice but to return to Kunde Palace.The queen was sitting in front of a table of dishes, she turned her head expectantly when she heard the voice, and when she saw Xuemei alone, her face sank.
"He won't come?"
Xuemei said: "Second Highness may be a little emotional, he was afraid of affecting the mood of the empress, so he didn't come here."
"Hmph," the queen sneered, and looked up at her, "You know him better than anyone else. Can I not know? He's blaming me! Blame me for not taking the throne from him!"
Her face was a bit hideous, the carefully prepared food and drinks on the table seemed to be a joke, with a flick of her hand, the things on the table instantly shattered all over the floor.
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Lamei and Xuemei knelt down together, "Second Highness will definitely not blame you, this incident was just an accident, no one knew it would turn out like this."
The queen suppressed the anger in her heart and asked: "Have you checked it out? How did the prince appear in the ancestral temple? He must not have been in the Minghua Palace at the beginning, otherwise the people sent by the palace would have done it long ago."
"I haven't found out what happened yet. According to their report, Princess Pingchang also went to the ancestral temple to offer incense that day, but she came out after a while, and I didn't see what she brought in." Xuemei said .
"Yu Qi?" The queen said silently, "No, she must have something wrong, did she really bring nothing in that day?"
"Princess Pingchang said she was just offering a few sticks of incense, and she didn't bring anything with her. She only brought a group of maids to follow."
"Maid? She is not such a ostentatious person in the past. Why did she bring a group of maids there when she went to the ancestral temple to offer incense? Then send someone to ask, and don't let go of any trivial things!"
"Yes!" Xuemei listened to the order and went out, while Lamei asked someone to come in to clean up the mess.The palace people outside came in and saw this place, they couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, and they didn't know what happened to the empress recently, the decorations in the palace changed batch after batch, it was a bit like the style of the old prince in the past.
Not long after, Xuemei came back: "Madam, those people asked the steward, and the steward confirmed that Princess Pingchang did not bring anything into the ancestral temple, but only a group of maids, but it is said that there is a very small maid inside for him to look at." Take a look."
After hearing this, the queen slapped the table excitedly: "She must have sent the prince in, but let him pass the test by disguised as a man! Could it be that the Holy Majesty has been hiding the three princes in the princess mansion?"
Xuemei shook her head: "This servant thinks it's impossible. How could it be possible for three living people to hide in the princess mansion for several months? Our people have searched the entire capital, and they must have come to the capital later."
"But I can't figure it out. The four gates of the capital are tightly sealed. The people they sent over are all my confidantes. How could they let outsiders in? Could it be possible——you go to the two kingdoms a few days ago? Show me uncle's letter!"
Seeing how excited the Queen was, Lamei hurried inside to find the letter that Ji Ping sent over a few days ago.The queen looked at it for a long time before she gave a wry smile: "I understand, they sent people in in front of the city guards in a big way, I hate that I didn't notice it at all!"
Xuemei and Lamei were puzzled, and when the Queen explained clearly, they also showed a very surprised look.It turned out to be like this!At that time, they laughed secretly that Uncle Guo couldn't even coax a few furry children, but they didn't expect that all of them were deceived by these furry children!
"The matter is a foregone conclusion, and it will be useless to pursue it. It seems that we have to use the last resort! I don't believe it, he still has an imperial decree!" The corner of the queen's mouth raised a contemptuous smile, and she turned to tell Lamei, "Go to the kitchen Order ginseng soup and come here, I will go to Qianyuan Palace."
……
"The Empress is here!"
"Greetings to the empress, thousand years old." The palace servants in Qianyuan Palace hurriedly saluted, the expressions on their faces were a little surprised, because the empress empress hadn't come for a few days.
Zhang Fuhai in the inner hall heard the voice, came out to have a look, and also bowed: "I don't know why your mother came here late at night?"
The empress no longer had the same pleasant face towards him as before, and directly snorted coldly: "It's a joke, I want to see the Holy Majesty, do I need something to come over?"
"The servant dare not."
The queen walked around him and went straight inside.
The windows of the inner hall were closed tightly, and there was a strong smell of medicine, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.Tianhedi lay pale on the dragon bed, his face sunken a little.Beside him, sat an imperial physician.Since he fell into a coma, the Supreme Hospital has sent people to wait in the hall in shifts, for fear that something might happen to him.
The queen sat down on the dragon bed, frowning lightly, her slender fingers brushed Tianhedi's brows and eyes, her face was full of regret and worry.
"Li Yizheng, is Your Majesty still like this recently? Is there any sign of waking up?"
Doctor Li is a little ashamed: "May I ask you to forgive my incompetence. Even though my colleagues in the Imperial Hospital read medical books day and night, I couldn't find a way to wake up the Holy One. In fact, the holy body can last for a while, but he seems depressed. In my heart, I don't want to wake up. If you and all the ladies talk to the Holy One more, maybe the Holy One will be able to wake up sooner."
This is also the conclusion reached by all the people in the Tai Hospital. I don't know why the Holy Majesty fell into a nightmare and couldn't wake up for a long time.
The queen said sadly: "I can't blame you for this matter. I believe that you have done your best. I brought some ginseng soup here. I want to serve the Holy Majesty with some, and then I have a few words with him. You should step back first." .”
Doctor Li was going out obediently, but Zhang Fuhai said: "Please forgive me, my lord. According to the rules, all the things that the Holy Majesty enters must be tested by the slaves first. Can I let the slaves taste this ginseng soup first?"
The queen stared at Zhang Fuhai closely, and said: "Zhang Fuhai, do you not trust me?"
Zhang Fuhai said with a smile: "Your Majesty is overthinking, how could this old slave not trust you? However, this is what this old slave is supposed to do, even if His Highness the Crown Prince brought over something, this old slave must test the poison first."
The queen's smile didn't reach her eyes, and she said coolly: "In this case, Lamei, take out a little and let Zhang Gonggong taste it, let him see if I have poisoned the palace."
Zhang Fuhai tasted some, waited quietly for a while, and found no response, so he signaled to the queen to feed it to Tianhe Emperor.
The queen said: "Eunuch Zhang should be relieved? Can you go out now? I have something to say to the Holy Majesty. I don't need to let you know about the affairs between our husband and wife, right?"
Zhang Fuhai said respectfully: "Of course, the old slave is waiting outside the door. If the empress has something to order, just call out, and the old slave will come in immediately."
After speaking, he walked out with Lamei.When Lamei wanted to close the door of the inner hall, he stopped him.
"I can't hear my mother's words here, and the door is open, so that our family can always pay attention to the body of the Holy One." Zhang Fuhai has a firm attitude and will not refuse.
Lamei looked towards the queen, and after receiving the signal, she left the door open. She and Zhang Fuhai stood guard outside the door, looking inside from time to time.
Yu Qiu went to Concubine Jin's place, and dragged Yu Ren, who entered the palace yesterday, along with her.Yu Sui wanted to follow along, but was dragged back to Jing'an Palace by Concubine Shu, making his face stern all the way.Concubine Shu Gui didn't have a good face, she called him a little white-eyed wolf, and turned his elbow outward.Originally, she felt that she and Concubine Jin were in the same sympathy, so they walked closer than others, they were not favored, and she was slightly better than her.
