"What does Huang Jie mean by preparing to give back sheet music?" It took a while for the little princess to react, and she said with a complicated expression: "Is it appropriate for you to ask for sheet music now?"
"Appropriate." The Queen nodded with a natural look on her face. The little princess thought to herself, Le Zhengsu looks so much like a prince, and the eldest sister is looking at the person of the big wedding at the moment, does the eldest sister really have no idea in her heart
The princess hoped that the queen could think of the prince when she looked at that face, but also hoped that she could pick someone who had nothing to do with the prince. Even if it is similar, it is only similar, and it will only remind people of the traces of the prince's existence. If the elder sister is really affectionate, will it be more sad.
The princess turned back and forth in her heart, and finally only bit her lower lip and said, "Then I will send it to her in the name of the princess' mansion, how about that?"
"Naturally." The queen also had this idea in her heart. After all, in the eyes of the child, it was just to fulfill her promise. In addition, the other party is Le Zhengying's younger sister, so it is allowed for her to send some gifts to the younger sister.
Hearing this answer, the little princess finally breathed a sigh of relief. From this sentence, she figured out that her sister really didn't care. Sometimes she thinks that her sister is a simple-minded person in some respects, maybe she is strong enough to be able to conquer ten times with one force, or maybe it is the insidious deceit she is going through day and night in the court that makes her face certain people. I just want to keep a simple mind.
The little princess who gave gifts to others but got a new assignment from the emperor, returned to the princess mansion. She prepared for the Lantern Festival, and after the opening of the Hongwen Museum, she personally visited Lin Mengdie. After all, the emperor didn't say when to give it to Le Zhengsu, so as long as it was delivered, it would be no problem sooner or later.
After lunch, the queen who sent away the little princess continued to handle government affairs. Since her ascension to the throne, the queen has worked diligently and worked hard for the country's affairs day in and day out, regardless of the year. Even when there is a physical ailment, there is never a lack of early morning.
After the early morning, she left the six ministers and the adults of the Privy Council behind to solve the problem that appeared in the review of the memorial yesterday afternoon. After lunch, start working on dozens of memorials. In the evening, the queen led the servants to the school grounds of the West Palace to shoot arrows on horseback. Take a shower, change clothes, read at night, and go to sleep after turning off the lights at midnight.
Her diligence has been well known by the people in the country in the past three years. The queen, who is diligent in government and loves the people, has established the court more and more securely. Because of this, few officials will despise her.
Of course, there are occasional breaks. In her spare days, the Queen would take Su Yanqing and Lord Le Zhengying to the suburbs of Beijing to check the situation of the spring and autumn harvests. Maybe in a few years, when the imperial court is stronger, the queen will go down from Yuanzhou by boat to inspect the livelihood of the people on the banks of the two rivers.
The people in the palace admired the queen's diligence, and felt a little distressed in addition to admiration. The palace people who feel sorry for the queen, like the ministers, hope that the queen also has someone who knows the cold and the hot, instead of thinking about the dead Emperor Zhao.
So when the most popular confidant among those rumors, Zhongli Wang Zhongli, came to visit His Majesty in the afternoon, the palace people were all excited.
When the inner court attendants reported that King Yunzhong asked to see him, the queen happened to be approving the memorial of Cui Jian, the governor of Zhongzhou, who applied to the Ministry of War for the transfer of weapons. Due to the weather in Central State, weapons are easily damaged, and a batch is applied every year.
Hearing the voice of the waiter, the queen was a little surprised. During the New Year's Day, King Yun Zhong didn't go to Jing An, why did she come here. Could it be that I came to ask for a marriage, and I didn't say anything in a hurry, so why did I come the next day.
The queen put down the red pen in her hand and said to the waiter, "Call him in."
King Yunzhong, who got the answer, followed behind the servant and hurriedly stepped into the Chaohui Hall. As soon as he came in, the queen put down her government affairs and looked up at him.
The tall, handsome and fair-faced young man, wearing a royal robe and a meticulous jade crown, stood at His Highness and bowed respectfully, saying, "See Your Majesty when the bell leaves the curtain."
In Xuan Jingchen's impression, King Yunzhong was a lively, energetic and somewhat reckless young man. Compared with His Highness's seemingly romantic but unusually quiet, King Yunzhong had the appearance of all young people. I don't know from which day, that lively young man turned into this handsome young man.
In the period of Emperor Thorn in the previous dynasty, the King of Zhongzhou rebelled and implicated a lot of Zhongli's royal family. In the end, only the Emperor Thorn and the youngest son of King Yun Zhongli remained in the royal family. Zhonglimu and Emperor Zhao were brothers of the same clan, and they stayed together for four years before Zhonglimu was sent to Hongwen Museum. In addition to the support of Emperor Zhao of Lao Yunzhong, Emperor Zhao took care of the only remaining younger brother.
Therefore, after Xuan Jingchen ascended the throne, he did not cut off his throne according to the intentions of Zhong Limu and the ministers, and still let him be the carefree king of clouds.
Unexpectedly, this younger brother and his younger sister are actually looking at each other.
It's a good thing to be happy with each other. The queen would not embarrass them, she just said straight to the point: "Is Miki here for safety?"
Zhong Limu raised his head and looked at the queen. There was a trace of anxiety on that handsome and well-defined face, but when he heard the Queen's words, a trace of confusion appeared on Zhong Limu's face.
The queen, who noticed this, frowned slightly and said, "It's not for a peaceful marriage, do you have other things to come to me?"
Zhong Limu, who was not stupid, quickly reacted. The queen already knew about his affairs with the eldest princess. He was stunned for a moment and replied, "I want to come and your Majesty already knows about the matter between the minister and the princess. But today, I did not come here for this matter."
"Oh, what else is there that will make you eager to enter the palace to see me on the first day of the new year." Moreover, his expression was still so anxious.
Zhong Li looked around at the curtain, and all the servants waiting beside the Queen bowed their heads and turned a deaf ear. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "This is a private matter, and it is related to Your Majesty. Can His Majesty withdraw from the palace and listen to the minister."
The Queen looked at his expression, and became curious in his increasingly disturbed expression. So she screened the waiter, and only she and Zhong Limu remained in this empty Zhaohui Hall.
The heavy hall door was closed, and the originally bright Zhaohui Hall became dark. The queen sat in front of the desk and watched Zhong Limu, who was standing in front of the steps, lift up her robe and bowed down to her.
As early as in the former Chu, there was no need for such a big ceremony to worship the emperor. King Yun Zhong's gesture made the queen frown and asked, "Why do you do such a big gift?"
"Your Majesty." Zhong Limu raised his head, looked up at the queen in front of the case, and said word by word, "Next, I hope that His Majesty Rongchen will surpass. This matter is related to Emperor Zhao of the previous dynasty."
"Wei Chen suspects that Emperor Zhao was murdered before he died."
I don't know if it's because of the spaciousness of Zhaohui Hall, but when I heard the posthumous title, the queen was still a little stunned, and the meaning of Zhong Limu's words made the queen even more distorted.
"What did you say?" the queen asked again, as if she couldn't believe what Zhong Limu said, "say it again."
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen suspects that Emperor Zhao could have gone north, but he chose to commit suicide because he knew that his life was imminent." Zhong Limu's voice sounded too calm, he took a deep breath and continued: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, do you still remember that in the winter before you went north, Emperor Zhao was sick in bed because of the occasional wind-cold, and he hemoptyized blood for a while, and even blood lines similar to Xia Chan appeared on his palms."
The Queen has not heard anyone mentioning Her Highness in front of her for a long time, but she never thought that at the beginning of the new year, someone started talking about her, and it was a long time ago.
Of course she remembered that winter. It was the coldest winter that Xuan Jingchen had ever experienced since he came to Yuanzhou City. In that year, there was a blizzard across the country, and the barbarians in the north stared at them, and the two states that were most severely frozen by the blizzard were waiting for disaster relief. Under the internal and external troubles, she and His Majesty finally decided not to hold back and executed the governors of the two states. This time, the vigorous and resolute action revealed the strength that had accumulated for a long time, and finally rectified the Chao Gang and stabilized the situation.
But it didn't take long for His Majesty to get sick because of overwork. After getting married, Xuan Jingchen knew that the prince's health was not very good. That body, which had fallen from the root of the disease after beating his mother's womb, would catch a cold in autumn.
After being married for many years, Xuan Jingchen had become accustomed to Zhong Lishuo's illness.
It's just that in that winter, Zhong Lishuo had slept for too long, and when he was seldom awake, his whole body often had rashes. Not only the palms, but also the red lines like Xia Chan all over the body.
Medical workers have not seen this type of rash, but it should be ordinary hives according to common sense. So according to this kind of treatment, His Majesty really got better day by day. In spring, it is no different than usual.
Xuan Jingchen still remembered the appearance of His Majesty drinking the medicine, and the bowls of black concoction, His Majesty drank it as if he were drinking water without frowning. Even one day, His Majesty held a bowl and said: "I and the disease rely on this concoction for endless lingering, maybe just drink it like this, I can live a hundred years."
She wants to live, to live to be a hundred years old. After His Majesty recovered from his illness, Xuan Jingchen was also thinking, with His Majesty's mentality, maybe he could really live to be a hundred years old. Unfortunately, in the summer of the second year, His Majesty left.
It turned out that life would be so short.
The queen's thoughts were pulled away, and she finally turned her eyes back to Zhong Limu's body and asked, "Why did you suddenly tell me about this?" Could it be that something was missed by them that winter
"Because Wei Chen, not long ago, I saw that special blood pattern again on the body of the servant's bodyguard. It is exactly the same as the blood pattern that appeared at the time of Emperor Zhao." Zhong Limu gritted his teeth, as if he was trying his best to endure something. , said: "In the winter, the minister and the guard went deep into the southern border to hunt and were attacked. The guard blocked a sword for me, and then lay in a coma. Seven days later, the body appeared like that. Bloodstains."
"Wei Chen found the person who was assassinated, it was Heihudong in the depths of the southern border. Because of the transaction issue of the Bo people, he had a dispute with the Yunzhou government. I don't know where I got the news, so I had to tie the Weichen to get it. Do negotiated deals."
"The matter of the attack on this minister has already been submitted to Your Majesty."
"It's just that after Wei Chen arrested the thief in Heihutong, he learned unexpected news."
"The witch in their shrine said that I had been infected with her blood. If I don't let their clansmen go, I will die suddenly on the last day of the next summer."
"When the poison enters the body, it flows through the whole body, draining energy, making the blood in the whole body dry and hot, and cicada lines appear. As the weather warms up and grows, when the summer fades, the cicada has lived to the extreme and died in prosperity and decline. ."
"I didn't believe it at first, but because I thought of Emperor Zhao, I went to the Southern Border to verify the matter with the King of Southern Border. It was true. I also learned a secret from the King of Southern Border. Emperor Zhao sent someone during his Majesty's northward journey. Go to the southern border and seek medical advice."
"It was a golden robe guard and a medical worker who visited the king of Nanjiang. The minister sent someone to look for these two people for evidence. At noon today, the minister received a biography from Nanjiang."
"There really are those two people. Emperor Zhao... Emperor Zhao... Knowing that he was poisoned by gu poison, that little medical worker went to the southern border to dispense medicine, and he was in chaos before he returned to Yuanzhou. After that, the medical worker who knew the secrets of the palace was hidden. Southern Border, don't come back."
After all, he still couldn't maintain the appearance of the noble son, Zhong Limu's eyes were red with tears and choked with tears: "Chen, I have doubts, no, it has been confirmed, Emperor Zhao... Emperor Zhao... Huangjie, Huangjie died long before Yuanzhou City was broken. She should have been alive to go north with us. Some of the Jinpao guards stationed in the imperial city escaped, so she had no reason to stay there. She cherished her life so much, and wanted to live so much, why didn't she choose to live. "
