The third prince was imprisoned, and even the status of the Fu family in the capital also changed. Fu Chengxiang obviously didn't like the emperor. He had been in power for many years, and many people were staring at this position and wanted to pull him down. Now that the third prince was exiled to the fief, Fu Chengxiang was still lingering in the court.
The Fu family is quite talented, but it's a pity that the years are not good. The eldest lady, Fu Qiang, married the third prince. She seemed to have a bright future. Who knew that things would change halfway, and she ended up being imprisoned together with the third prince. The second lady, Fu Rong, married the second son of the Duke's mansion. That's right, it's a pity that this second-in-law son is very beautiful, and he had a common room before marriage. After Fu Rong entered the mansion, the two had a happy life for a few days, and the second-in-law's heart began to change. The two had a big quarrel for three days , Five days and one small noise. When the third prince was still in the capital, the Duke’s mansion didn’t dare to say anything. Now that the third prince is imprisoned and the biggest backer of the Fu family has collapsed, they blame Fu Rong: I have never seen a main room where a husband is not allowed to take concubines. The one from the big family is simply a jealous woman!
The third lady, Fu Zhi, took a fancy to a down-and-out scholar. The scholar was born with a handsome appearance and quite a talent, but he has not yet achieved fame. If this scholar can win the first prize in high school, then Prime Minister Fu is also willing to marry Fu Zhi. It's a pity that before the exam, the two had a skin-to-skin relationship, which made Prime Minister Fu very angry.
The daughters were no good, and the two sons were no better. Fu Rui followed Wen and Fu Yu joined martial arts. The former has been a minor official of the sixth grade for several years and served in the Imperial Academy. Resting at home. The doctor said it would take at least a year or two to recover.
In the past few days, Fu Chengxiang was impeached again in the court, saying that he was rich in private pockets without distinction between public and private, but there is no evidence. At that time, Prime Minister Fu's face turned pale with fright. What evidence is there? His Majesty believes that if there is no evidence, he will be finished. If His Majesty does not believe it, he will not fall if there is evidence. Doesn't it depend on His Majesty's plan now
Prime Minister Fu was thus ordered to be unemployed for three days, but he waited tremblingly for three days, but still he was not summoned by His Majesty, and he was anxious like ants on a hot pot. There was no way out now, so I discussed with Mrs. Fu, and asked Mrs. Fu to send a post to ask the imperial concubine to see if there was room for change.
Mrs. Fu didn't want to go, her three daughters were living in a terrible situation, but that bitch's daughter became a royal concubine, and her Qiang'er was imprisoned at a flowery age, and she couldn't go out for the rest of her life. Go into the palace to see Fu Wei. How uncomfortable Madam Fu felt in her heart can't be described in words, but reason told her that what the master said was right, and now they can only go to the imperial concubine for help.
Qing Huan was not very surprised when she heard Mrs. Fu begging to see her. This was something she had expected a long time ago.
Madam Fu entered the bedroom, trembling all the way, she didn't even have the courage to look up at Qing Huan when she knelt down to salute. "The minister's wife pays homage to the imperial concubine, the empress is a thousand years old."
"Get up, Jin Chuan, give me your seat."
The voice is elegant and calm.
Then Madam Fu sat tremblingly again, raised her head to glance at Qing Huan and quickly lowered her head, but her heart was hit hard: Is this still the submissive concubine Fu Wei? Look at her dignified and graceful demeanor, she is completely different from the Fu Wei who in my impression is cautious about her words.
Madam Fu suddenly didn't dare to say what she wanted to do today, but Qing Huan was not polite to her. She stretched out a hand, and the maid was carefully trimming her nails, and then used the juice of the impatiens to clean her nails. Tu Ran, she glanced casually, and asked: "Mrs. Fu visits the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and she came here today to seek an audience with Ben Gong. Didn't she make a special trip to reminisce about the old days?"
Mrs. Fu's heart skipped a beat at her tone of voice, and she wanted to explain something nice, but when she looked up, she saw Qing Huan's calm expression. She didn't take herself seriously at all. I'm afraid that she was summoned today to To help, but to see their Fu family jokes. Madam Fu didn't know where her stubbornness came from, she stood up directly and said: "The minister's wife entered the palace today just to see if your wife is doing well, she has no other intentions, your mother is too worried."
The tone is still full of respect, but if you listen carefully, you will find a slight dissatisfaction in it.
"Mrs. Fu, don't be arrogant. If you leave today, tomorrow I will kneel outside the palace for three days and three nights, and I won't see you again." Qing Huan glanced at her lightly. Wei only has a slight resentment towards the Fu family, but no hatred, so she will not do anything unnecessary.
When Mrs. Fu heard what Qing Huan said, her whole body froze, she didn't know whether to leave or stay. At this moment, the eunuch outside sang "His Highness the Prince has arrived", and a small dumpling appeared at the door. He had short legs, and it was a little difficult when he crossed the threshold, but he refused the help of the eunuch next to him. Then the whole person rushed straight into Qing Huan's arms like a small cannonball, and raised her white and tender face: "Mother Concubine!"
Qing Huan squeezed his chubby face: "Did you doze off in class today?" He insisted on sleeping with her last night, but after she agreed, she was so excited that she didn't fall asleep until midnight. As a result, the emperor was cruel and still called him up on time in the morning.
"The Grand Tutor has praised my son." The little prince blinked his big eyes, looking very cute. "My son didn't doze off."
Such a white, tender and round doll with bun face is so cute, Qing Huan couldn't help but hug the little prince to his lap, the little prince twisted his fleshy body and refused: "No... The emperor said that the concubine mother is not in good health, so you can't let the concubine mother hug me."
"But if you seem to move around again, the concubine mother will use more strength and become more tired."
Hearing what Qing Huan said, the little prince obediently stopped moving immediately, looked at her with a small face, and then curiously at Mrs. Fu who was sitting a few steps away. "Mother, who is she?"
Qing Huan chuckled, and asked people to take the little prince to the side hall for snacks, and then said to Mrs. Fu: "I know what you want, I will help you with this favor, and I can also help you beat the country. The government, make Fu Rong's life easier. But I am not doing this for you, but for the prince." Although she has severed ties with the Fu family, she still hopes that the Fu family can become the prince's backing. "After you go back, tell Prime Minister Fu what Ben Gong said, he knows what to do."
Before Madam Fu came back, Qing Huan said: "You go, I'm tired."
Mrs. Fu bowed silently, went down, returned to the mansion and told Prime Minister Fu what Qing Huan had said, and Prime Minister Fu immediately understood. The imperial concubine didn't say what she said today to Madam Fu, but to him. Although the imperial concubine is no longer part of the Fu family, the little prince has not broken ties with the Fu family. He is still the grandson of the Fu family. Then, as long as the little prince is in power for one day, his grandfather's position will not change much . However, to get the protection of the little prince, he should know who he is loyal to.
Of course, Prime Minister Fu did not tell Mrs. Fu that although he and his wife love each other, government affairs cannot be brought into the inner house.
Sure enough, the emperor called him into the palace the next day, and when Prime Minister Fu returned, he received some rewards, which proved that the royal family still valued him very much.
Fu Rong's life is indeed easier. The Duke's Mansion no longer dares to mention the matter of taking a concubine for the second son. Madam Fu knew that it was the imperial concubine's help. She was grateful and overwhelmed. That woman In the end, his child became the life-saving talisman of the Fu family.
The emperor always wanted Qing Huan to be with him for the rest of his life. He felt that he was so much older than her, so no matter what, he should have died first, and then she could be the empress dowager for decades and enjoy the blessings, making Rui Geer filial. But who knows, she was the one who left early in the end.
In fact, this body should have died completely when the little crown prince was ten years old, but the royal family did not have many other things, and there were many miraculous medicines. They actually saved his life for several years. It was not until the crown prince became weak that his body began to completely rot. Can't stop vomiting blood.
The emperor was still in good spirits, he didn't even have a single white hair on his sideburns, but there were faint wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and he was still handsome and handsome, but Qing Huan was not good enough. He held Qing Huan's hand and yelled at the imperial doctors. Tempered, threatened to cut off their heads, but was gently pulled by Qing Huan. "Your Majesty, you have to take good care of the prince."
"What nonsense are you talking about, the prince is your son and I can't just take care of him alone, don't try to shirk responsibility!" The emperor's eyes were red and hot, but his mouth was unforgiving.
Qing Huan smiled even wider: "I have to take a step first, Your Majesty."
The prince knelt beside her bed. Although the half-grown boy was precocious and well-known as a genius, when his mother was dying, he burst into tears. Qing Huan recruited the prince to her side again, and told him a few words, asking him to listen to his father's words and be a good emperor in the future. The prince agreed one by one, Qing Huan smiled, looking at this child, this is the child born in Fu Wei's body, his fate in the last life was to die young, but in this life he got what he deserved.
She looked at the emperor again, the tears and pain in the emperor's eyes were so obvious, but Qing Huan smiled deeper. "Your Majesty, stop pursuing immortality in the future, it will be very lonely..."
As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes and never opened them again.
The emperor hugged her and burst into tears. His heart seemed to be torn apart. When he held her, the desperate pain was so clear and familiar, as if it was like this thousands of years ago, holding her body, dreaming of the dream of growing old together.
Lost again and again, forgotten again and again.
He was in so much pain that he couldn't even breathe.
Then he fell backwards suddenly, amidst screams and shouts.
Never woke up again.
