Beiyuan was originally a remote place, and she believed that the place where they lived must be the most remote corner of Beiyuan.
That's all. Thinking of how I used to be domineering and arrogant, and bullied the women and girls of the Eastern Palace a lot. Now that I live together, and I have nothing to control them, how will I live in the future
"Where's the queen? How's the queen?" The princess asked suddenly.
The eunuch who came to deliver the decree and escorted them to Beiyuan glanced at her inexplicably, and said, "The empress is naturally in the palace, what's the matter?"
"The Empress was not punished?" The Crown Princess trembled.
"Presumptuous!" The eunuch's expression changed drastically, and he scolded, "You are so courageous! How dare you disrespect the empress!"
"So the Empress is fine?" The Crown Princess suddenly yelled: "It's not fair! It's not fair! The Empress is fine, why should I move to Beiyuan! I won't go! I won't go !"
The empress is not implicated as the prince's mother. Shouldn't she be treated the same as the prince's wife
The Crown Princess immediately made a noise without hesitation.
She was like a drowning person grasping at the last straw. She knew it was useless, but she couldn't help but still wanted to give it a try.
As long as she thinks of the women in the East Palace that she bullied in the past, the Crown Princess shudders. Those women may also have grievances and grievances among themselves, but she believes that they will unite to deal with her first...
The eunuch saw that she was making too much trouble, and he was very disrespectful to the queen in his words-who doesn't know Emperor Xiangqing's feelings for the queen? Even if the crown prince committed a crime, the queen's position is still secure. Who would dare to offend the queen at this time? The eunuch beat the princess unconscious with a hand knife, and threw it directly into the car.
In Beiyuan's dilapidated palace, the Crown Princess was right, those women bullied and made things difficult for her, and within a month, she fell ill with anger and hatred.
All of a sudden, lack of food and drink, and no medicine, coupled with despair in his heart, and a lot of dark energy, within a month, he passed away with hatred.
When Zhou Shizhi returned to the capital, two days had passed since the turmoil. What should be dealt with and what has been improved have been dealt with quietly. From the civil and military officials to the common people, everyone still does what they should do, as if nothing happened.
Seeing this, there is no need to ask, Zhou Shizhi also knew that the prince must be the one who failed. But he didn't know about the fourth prince at this time, and when he heard about it after returning to the mansion, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Hearing that Lu Xiaoshu was in danger, he hurriedly visited her again. Hearing that he was fine, he felt relieved.
Within two days, a decree came from the palace, and Emperor Xiangqing summoned him.
After all, Zhou Shizhi was suspended in the imperial court. Although he found an excuse to leave the capital and took a leave of absence, it was unreasonable for Emperor Xiangqing to become suspicious. Besides, he suspected Zhou Shizhi in this matter. There was no suspicion at first.
Zhou Shizhi took a lot of effort to dispel Emperor Xiangqing's suspicion. However, Emperor Xiangqing may feel that people like him stay in the capital, and he wants to use him but is afraid, so he may have a different heart at any time and cause something to happen, so he ordered him to return to the place that originally belonged to the backer king after the Chinese New Year. fief to go.
Zhou Shizhi nodded in agreement, but was even more troubled about his marriage with Lu Xiaoshu.
He had to finish this matter before then, otherwise, once he left the capital, it would be even more difficult.
However, now the third prince is the only son of Emperor Xiangqing, so there is no need to think that the position of prince must belong to him! And he was so thoughtful about Lu Xiaoshu, which made Zhou Shizhi and Lu Xiaoshu feel awkward.
For the third prince, Lu Xiaoshu trusted him, she believed that he said before that if he didn't force himself, he would definitely not force himself, and she has always comforted Zhou Shizhi like this.
Zhou Shizhi responded, but secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. The third prince is trustworthy, but there is still a queen! If the queen's love child is eager, what can't be done? Once the decree comes down, it will be too late!
Now that Emperor Xiangqing was sick in bed, and the queen was with Zhou Shizhi when he entered the palace to see him, even if he wanted to ask for an order, it was impossible, so he had to wait for now.
Fortunately, the queen is so busy that she has no time to take care of this matter.
Not only Emperor Xiangqing was sick in the palace, but also the third prince.
However, the empress strictly forbids anyone to mention the third prince's illness in front of him on the grounds of "so as not to let the emperor know and worry". Emperor Xiangqing was hit hard by this incident, and seemed to be unable to think of his son for a while , and did not ask him.
However, the queen knew that after three or two days, when his condition gradually improved and his mood gradually relaxed, he would definitely mention the third prince. Now, the third prince is his only son!
Therefore, the third prince's illness cannot be delayed any longer, and he must get well quickly!
The queen knew very well in her heart that what the third prince suffered from was not any other illness, but a heart disease, and more than half of this heart disease was caused by herself.
The queen couldn't help but feel annoyed, and felt helpless: This is her son after all!
On this day, he returned to Kunning Palace from Emperor Xiangqing's place, and after a short stay, he took Aunt Qing to the Third Prince's place.
This was the first time that the servants in the Three Emperors' womb saw the Queen, and they were so nervous that they almost couldn't even salute!
The queen's complexion was extremely ugly, and seeing the servants kneeling on the ground, they hummed lightly and walked straight over.
After she passed by, everyone tentatively raised their heads tremblingly, you looked at me, I looked at you, but no one dared to get up.
The third prince was in the side hall, sitting on the couch by the window, dazed.
The queen came in with a light cough, and he got up reflexively to salute, but when he thought of the real relationship between him and her, he moved his mouth, but he couldn't say "mother queen".
The queen didn't care about this, and sighed softly: "How are you? Your father will definitely ask you when he gets better. Look at your complexion, why are you so bad? When the time comes, your father will hear about it. Are you going like this?"
The third prince lowered his head without making a sound.
Seeing this, the queen was even more unhappy, and frowned, saying: "My son, everything the queen mother does is for you! Are you still blaming the queen mother? If this is the case, you are confused! Could it be possible that even a close relative is not Can't tell? The prince has harmed you before! If the queen mother hadn't sent someone to secretly protect you, your little life would have been given to him long ago!"
The third prince suddenly raised his head, showing a dazed expression.
No wonder, he was also very puzzled at the time, who are those people who suddenly appeared to fight against the prince! I see.
The third prince suddenly felt uneasy: No matter how much she is wrong with the queen mother, after all, it is his mother, after all, she is devoted to him...
Seeing that the third prince's expression had moved, the queen sighed softly, stretched out her hand to hold his hand, and said softly: "Actually, although the queen mother thought about letting the prince die before, she no longer wants to. After all, the queen mother raised him But he did such a rebellious thing, it is impossible to survive! You should be very clear about this!"
The queen thought that the third prince had a grudge against herself because of the death of the prince, so she had to explain it this way.
It's just that there are too many loopholes in these words, and the queen herself doesn't believe them.
The third prince didn't believe it either, but he felt better in his heart. At least it showed that the queen mother already had regrets in her heart!
"Queen, I didn't blame you, it's all useless..." The third prince finally said softly.
The queen was overjoyed, and smiled quickly: "Okay, let's stop talking about the past! Don't blame you, how can the queen mother blame you! The past is over, we have to look forward! The emperor Ah, now you are the only son under your father's knees. No one needs to tell you that you should understand that the throne will be yours sooner or later! However, your father is very suspicious. Same, but you must not bring out any deeds, or your father will be angry... "
The queen began a long sermon. She really cared about this son, and she was afraid that he would not understand, so she seemed to talk too much.
The third prince's eyes darkened, and his heart subconsciously became a little unnatural, as if he had snatched something that did not belong to him.
The queen didn't realize it, and still said with a smile.
The third prince suddenly thought that even though she had all sorts of faults, she was still his own mother after all, and this thought was all for his own good, so he didn't know what to do for a moment. Seeing her smiling and looking at him, he nodded in agreement.
As expected by the queen, Emperor Xiangqing thought of the third prince the next day, and he was afraid that the queen would be sad because of the third prince and think of the dead prince. The queen was very good at measuring, she was very considerate and caring for him, and she didn't say anything that shouldn't be said. This made Emperor Xiangqing very pleased.
The third prince was still as honest as before, saying that he had wanted to visit his father a long time ago, but the queen mother said that his father needed to rest so he didn't come in, he just kowtowed outside and asked the imperial physician.
Emperor Xiangqing only took it as the empress' petty temper, but instead comforted the third prince.
To be honest, the third prince's temperament is too weak, and Emperor Xiangqing is not optimistic about his succession to the throne, but what can be done? He has only one son left...
It's not him, it has to be him!
It wasn't until this time that Zhou Shizhi told Lu Xiaoshu about the previous reasoning. Lu Xiaoshu was dumbfounded when he heard it, and couldn't recover for a while: This is too outrageous!
"When the emperor is in better health, no matter what, I will ask him to marry me. If we are married, we should leave the capital far away!" Zhou Shizhi said.
Lu Xiaoshu took it for granted.
The third prince will be the prince and the emperor in the future, and the queen probably already knew that he has feelings for her. If she stays, it will inevitably be embarrassing in the future. It is better to avoid it far away.
A few more days passed in a blink of an eye, on this day, the third prince went out for a walk in the palace in a depressed mood, and happened to see him and Lu Xiaoshu behaving intimately, the third prince's face turned pale immediately, and he immediately understood why Lu Xiaoshu didn't want to marry him.
Although he couldn't bear to force her, he still felt a pain in his heart when he realized that she belonged to her.
Lu Xiaoshu didn't see the third prince, but Zhou Shizhi did. Saying goodbye to Lu Xiaoshu hastily, he went to the teahouse beside him to look for the third prince.
The Third Prince nodded to him just now, asking him to meet him.
After being silent for a while, the third prince said coldly: "Xiaoshu doesn't want to follow me, so it's because of you."
"Yes." Zhou Shizhi was not polite.
The third prince didn't expect him to say that, slightly annoyed, narrowed his eyes, and said: "What if I don't let you? You should know that if I don't let you, you have nothing to do."
Now he is the only son of Emperor Xiangqing, and there is no dispute that he is the prince and future monarch.
Zhou Shizhi smiled and said: "You can even kill me! But, that also depends on your ability! I'm going to make a decision for Xiaoshu!"
The third prince's eyes flickered, then dimmed for a while, and sighed softly: "If I were you, I wouldn't be able to do this. No wonder she doesn't like me..." I actually don't like myself either...
Zhou Shizhi knew that the third prince was different from the former prince and the fourth prince, so he slowed down his business and said, "You will be the emperor in the future, what kind of woman do you want? Why are you so persistent."
The third prince glanced at him, hehe smiled, did not answer his words, but waved his hands and said: "You go!"
Zhou Shizhi glanced at him deeply, and left silently.
When the queen saw that the third prince was gloomy and brought up the idea of letting Lu Xiaoshu enter the palace, the third prince not only refused, but took the opportunity to ask the queen to marry Zhou Shizhi and Lu Xiaoshu. Although the queen was puzzled, she didn't say anything.
There was only one woman on the left and right, so he nodded in agreement.
Zhou Shizhi and Lu Xiaoshu did not expect the matter to be resolved in this way. They knew that this was the third prince's fulfillment, and wanted to thank him, but the third prince never left the palace, so they had no choice but to give up.
Emperor Xiangqing was injured, shocked and frightened, and in addition to grief and heartbreak, he couldn't afford to fall ill, and passed away in the first month before the new year was over.
It is undisputed that the third prince ascended the throne as emperor.
After the death of the emperor, marriages were banned for one month among the people, and three months for officials, so Zhou Shizhi and Lu Xiaoshu set the wedding date for May.
Gradually, the courtiers realized that although the third prince ascended the throne as the emperor, the real master of the family was the former empress and the current empress dowager.
The third prince was used to being weak and honest since he was a child, and he was no match for the Empress Dowager at all. The Empress Dowager always said it was for his own good and for him, but he couldn't find a single word to refute it.
Although the third prince was weak and honest, he was not stupid, and soon realized what this meant. Depressed by the pain, he simply hid in the harem to drink and have fun, and he didn't even bother to go to court.
The queen mother was angry and anxious, but she had nothing to do with him.
After getting married, Lu Xiaoshu and Zhou Shizhi left the capital and returned to the fief. First of all, they themselves didn't want to stay in the capital, although the new emperor let go, but they were both in the city, and their hearts were against each other. Secondly, the Queen Mother is always suspicious of what is going on between Zhou Shizhi and the new emperor. She can't find out how powerful Zhou Shizhi is, and she can't find any clues, but she believes that it is definitely not what it seems on the surface. It was so simple, so they were sent away from Beijing early.
When the capital gradually became the territory of the Empress Dowager, Lu Zhong and Miao Cuilan took the opportunity of sending their daughter to marry and resigned and went back to the village. .
After discussing with Mu Qing, Lu Wenxuan and Mu Qing also begged to go...
Thirteen years later, when the emperor died of illness, Lu Qi took a secret letter from the capital and galloped out of the capital overnight to find Zhou Shizhi and Lu Xiaoshu. A group of courtiers united to launch a palace coup while the queen mother was staying in the palace to escape the summer heat, took down all the relatives in power overnight, supported the six-year-old little prince to ascend the throne as emperor, and sent troops to put the queen mother under house arrest.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has opened a new page.
This time, Zhou Shizhi and Lu Xiaoshu were unable to leave the capital again, but Zhou Shizhi did not hold a position in the court, but used his power to escort the little emperor. The two planned to wait until the little emperor got married as an adult , then left the capital again.
The little emperor Xu had learned from his father's precepts and deeds, and had extra trust in Zhou Shizhi and Lu Xiaoshu. Zhou Shizhi refused to be an official, and he didn't force it. It's just that since then, the Great Zhou Dynasty has added a mysterious army that operates secretly, and can hold the imperial gold medal and the iron coupon of the book of pills to come forward in a critical moment to call on the loyal ministers and righteous men of the world to serve the king. This army has been controlled by the lineage of the backer king for generations.
