The next day, it was indeed reported in the palace that Emperor Yong was already in poor health due to his long journey, and was worried about the affairs of Liu and Zheng's family, which actually led to the attack of hidden injuries he suffered when he was under siege in the southwest, and he vomited blood in the middle of the night!
Fortunately, the Empress was worried that night and stayed in Xuanming Palace to take care of her. After discovering that something was wrong, she promptly summoned the Taiyuan Hospital to avoid a shocking change. However, His Majesty's illness made it difficult to get up for the time being, let alone Take it into consideration.
As soon as the news came out, both the Liu family and the Zheng family secretly vomited blood: The grievances between their families have not been resolved yet! Your Majesty is angry first! Doesn't this make it clear that they are forced to take the initiative to settle the matter? !
The Zheng family can just pay it back. Except for the Wang family, Zheng Cuiye is a layer apart from the rest of the Zheng family. Even if they are sad, it is not necessarily a painful pain. They were more concerned about Zheng Sanya who was sent to prison. Although Liu Rong took care of her, she was always worried if she didn't get out of prison for a day.
The Liu family didn't just vomit blood!
I just want to vomit three liters of blood!
In the view of the Liu family, Emperor Yong was in his prime. As the founder of the country who had spent half his life in the military, how could he be so fragile that he would be so angry that he vomited blood just once on the road? ! Besides, if Emperor Yong really came back from his journey and was in poor health, couldn't he just say that he would be recuperating for two days before taking action? ! Anyway, now that the titles of monarch and minister are here, the Liu family can still storm into the imperial city and force the palace!
It was clear that Emperor Yong wanted to protect the Zheng family, but it was difficult for the Liu family to sidestep the situation due to the fact that the evidence was conclusive. This was because after Zheng Sanya was imprisoned yesterday, the Liu family surrounded the emperor and cried out for injustice again, and fell "sick"!
"How could that man, who is from a commoner background, be of the same mind as our noble clan? I said at the beginning that if I want to defect to him, I have to be prepared to be sidelined if we get into trouble with the new rich..." Everyone in the Liu family was so angry. He was trembling all over, "But right now, he's so arrogant, he's simply crazy!"
"It's no longer interesting to talk about these things now. Let's talk about what to do now." A clan elder looked around and sighed, "Zheng Sanya's eldest son and second son have already entered the palace to plead guilty - our family cannot live without express!"
"With this apology, the feud between Zhang'er and Tong'er will definitely be cleared up!" Another clan elder reminded, "Ruowo only has two children! Although our family used to have a prosperous heir, we are not as good as before." The legitimate sons of the sect have always been valuable, especially since the changes in the imperial capital and the successive defeats of Donghu, which successively destroyed young and strong sons, how many legitimate sons do we have in total now? "
The clan elder who had spoken before said herrily: "What can I do if I don't apologize? Does it mean that everyone in the government and the public knows that the person who was so angry with our family that he vomited blood - who told us to leave behind our family yesterday - but we still don't care about justice?! He let out a long sigh, "He is the king and I am the minister. Do you still want to avoid suffering? If you are sensible now, you might be able to comfort them. Otherwise, if justice is not restored to the two children, our family will still have to bear the consequences." Pay it in!”
Everyone was speechless for a while, and then they said after a long time: "Once this case is made, we nobles will be oppressed step by step in the future. Are we just going to watch those common people get on top of us?"
"Please forgive me first and block that person's mouth." The elder said coldly, "Our family was not careful this time, and we didn't expect that person to be so shameless - the dignified Supreme Being actually lowered his body and used this cruel trick to protect him. Stay with the Zheng family! Go back and walk around each house. Will it be our Liu family who are unlucky after this incident?"
The Liu family went to the palace to plead guilty with extreme resentment. What made them even more heartbroken was that the tribesmen who went to the Jinxiu Duanmu branch later brought back a message: "Concubine Shan and Li Meiren have requested to see each other several times, but they have not been granted permission. Now that one Only the Queen and Princess Xian'an are allowed to serve in front of the bed."
"Concubine Shan and Beauty Li were both sent to the palace by people like us. How favored were they before? The concubine once suppressed the queen so much that she couldn't hold her head up!" Someone sneered, "This is obviously done deliberately to show to us, deliberately. It was not easy for the queen and the princess to meet the queen before, right? "
"Hold on tight, and be sure to communicate with the other five clans as soon as possible! In case a disaster is imminent but you are unable to fight back... Liu Rong, who is holding the Royal Forest Army now, is also part of Zheng Sanya's group!"
...Liu Bing'er's father, Liu He, personally knocked on the door of Shen's backyard all night long.
"It seems that we can't sleep well these days." Wei Changying rubbed his eyes and sat up, and said to her husband who was changing clothes quickly, "But Liu He was too careful. His daughter was promised to Shu Ming. Now that the wedding is coming, can't he come to discuss the children's marriage openly? You can remind him not to wake you up in the middle of the night! "
Shen Zangfeng tied up his clothes, walked to the couch and leaned over to kiss her forehead, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with this? The more suspicious they are, the less they will think of the death of the saint... We can also relax."
"Speaking of which, Liu Ruoyu is really amazing. We only briefly discussed with her how to deal with the aftermath, and she actually cooperated just right." Wei Changying said, "Thinking about the first time I met her, I never imagined that she could do this well. "
Shen Zangfeng smiled and said: "Without your timely support, she would never have entered the palace to serve the queen in her entire life, so why would she be able to serve the queen today? Now that she is clinging to our family, isn't it because she cares about your face? After all, it's still true. You had a vision then.”
"I just want to cause some trouble for Liu Ruoye - and I also want to save the face of my sister-in-law, Jing'er, and Shu Ming." Chief Wei said with a mixture of laughter and laughter, "How can I have such foresight?"
"Hey, I've tried everything I can, but I still can't get a kiss?" Shen Zangfeng picked up the horizontal hairpin from the stage, inserted it into the golden crown, and said jokingly, "You can't take what I say is true. Then you appreciate my careful discovery and give me a kiss?"
Wei Changying smiled, knelt down, put his arms around his neck, kissed his face loudly, looked at him carefully, and rubbed him to make the kiss marks fade away: "Go quickly Well, it’s time for Liu He to wait impatiently!”
Shen Zangfeng pecked her lips again and said with a smile, "Go to sleep. If you can't sleep, wait for me to come back."
Liu He was really impatient at this time, so when he saw Shen Zangfeng coming out, he couldn't wait to greet him and said: "Brother Shen Xian, our noble clan is in great danger!"
"Brother, don't be anxious." Shen Zangfeng asked him to sit down, and ordered his confidants to serve tea. Then he said, "I have also heard about the poor health of the emperor. At this point, there is indeed a suspicion of favoring the Zheng family. However, The war in the southwest is not over, maybe your Majesty is really tired?"
"Then why is the eldest prince still in Fengzhou?!" Liu He sneered, "If that one is really bad, how can we not set up a reserve immediately to prepare for unexpected events?! There are only two princes and the second prince in the current one. Not to mention that his biological mother had poisoned his legitimate children, how old is the second prince? With such a small foundation in Dayong, doesn’t it mean that the country has little power? Now the crown prince must be the eldest prince - but the eldest prince is still in Rui. Reading leisurely in the Yutang, that one actually had the nerve to say that he was too sick to get up and couldn't do anything! This was a clear message to the Liu family: He was protecting the Zheng family!"
Shen Zangfeng pondered: "Perhaps it is because the eldest prince is in Ruiyu Hall and His Majesty does not believe in our review and is afraid that we will be disadvantageous to the eldest prince, so he has not recalled the eldest prince for the time being, but plans to wait until the southwest war is over to send the army back to the court. Bring the eldest prince with you?"
Liu He shook his head and said: "We have also thought about this possibility, but you think it is such a coincidence? That person is not a weakling! And he had just gone to Ruiyu Hall to express his condolences to Wei Xinyong! Ji Qubing is there. You said he just went to Fengzhou from the southwest. Wouldn't you let Ji Qubing check his pulse to see if he had any hidden injuries? If he was not suitable for the journey, would Ji Qubing not be able to diagnose it? He's on his way, obviously there won't be any big problem!"
Shen Zangfeng said calmly: "If His Majesty is actually fine, the Liu family will have to bow their heads now."
"My Liu family in Donghu has been in the family for hundreds of years, and it is not uncommon for a family member to die young. For example, in the former Wei Dynasty, the second son of the clan elder Weiyuan Hou, who had high hopes for me, and my younger brother Ji Zhao, got married not long ago. He died on the battlefield." Liu He said with a lonely expression, "Such sacrifices are not just once or twice, nor are they one or two. To be honest, the tribe is sad, but they are used to it."
"But!" He raised his voice, "The elder of the two children under Ruowo's knees is only five years old! The younger one is only three years old! Children are innocent! Let's put it bluntly, Zheng's death has nothing to do with my Liu family. Even if Liu Ye is Liu Ruoye, she is the one who harmed Mrs. Zheng, but what’s the fault of the child? Then Mrs. Wang was so deceitful - at first we didn’t believe how a mere civilian woman could be so ruthless! Only through his reaction did he know who was supporting the Wang family!"
Obviously Liu He was overthinking it - probably quite a few of the ignorant Liu family members were like this, thinking that the reason why the Wang family was able to murder Liu Ruowo's two children had something to do with Emperor Yong.
Shen Zangfeng muttered: "But, there is a difference between king and minister..."
"If this matter is settled just because of that person's illness, how can we, the nobles, lose face?!" Liu He said solemnly, "So I have a heartless request!"
"Brother, you're welcome. You and I are also in-laws. If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it." Shen Zangfeng said hurriedly.
"My niece will be married to Fengzhou in a few days. It is said that Wei Shanshi will personally come to the imperial capital to pick up the bride. I wonder if we can discuss with the Wei family to bring the eldest prince to the imperial capital when the bride is married?" Liu He asked.
Shen Zangfeng shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to help. It's because the Wei family is good at literature but weak at martial arts. Now His Majesty is rumored to be ill. They are far away in Fengzhou and may not be willing to bear this kind of responsibility." Are you kidding me? This kind of opportunity to earn performance in front of the new king, how much calculation and participation did our husband and wife behind the scenes do to win it for our nephew, and you just gave it to Wei Shanshi with just one sentence? !
Although Wei Shanshi's niece-in-law is not bad, no matter how good he is, how can he compare with his own children
Seeing the disappointment on Liu He's face, Shen Zangfeng said, "But I plan to send my eldest nephew and eldest son to see him off. They will have a wedding banquet in Fengzhou before returning, so we can try to bring the eldest prince back."
Liu He was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, dear brother! As long as the eldest prince returns to the imperial capital, if that person still pretends to be ill and ignores the government affairs, we will immediately go to the table and ask the eldest prince to supervise the country!"
Shen Zangfeng pondered: "There is a question - whether the eldest prince is willing to come to the imperial capital. Also, if there is no superior intention and the eldest prince is rashly brought to the imperial capital, the consequences..."
"We can start with the Queen." Liu He said solemnly, "The Queen only has one son, the eldest prince, so how can we not miss her after being away for so many years? Especially Southwest General Ping. Your Majesty will never leave the palace in the future. If the eldest prince does not come back, In the future, concubines gave birth to imperial heirs one after another, and the relationship between father and son was divided. Even if he had the identity of the legitimate son and the actual eldest son, how could he compare with the Jiaoer who was the daughter of Chenghuan every day? Of course, the queen's thoughts were towards Zheng Sanya. , but when it comes to the future of her only son, I believe she can make a clear distinction!"
"If the queen can persuade your majesty to allow the eldest prince to come back, I will ask my nephew to bring the eldest prince with him when he comes back from seeing his relatives." Shen Zangfeng thought for a while and said, "But it is best for Duke Jing to come back later!"
Liu He understood in his heart: "The family is already trying to comfort my sister-in-law and bury the two children first. When Ruowo comes back, of course he will go to the palace to express his gratitude and cry out for his son... The eldest prince has already returned by then, who can still bury it? Go somewhere!"
What about the emperor? !
If you want to use illness to blur things out, dream! (To be continued)
