The news of King Zhan's fainting quickly spread to the emperor, and when Emperor Jian'an came to visit, the queen mother was still crying by guarding Chunyu.
"Queen mother, how is Lao Qi? What did the imperial doctor say?" After the ceremony, Emperor Jian'an sat on the chair brought by the eunuch beside the couch.
The Empress Dowager Xiaoduan cried: "The imperial doctor said that it was because of the impatience and anger. Just because the little vixen left, he couldn't bear it anymore. What life do you think the Ai family made? Such a careless and rebellious son..."
Seeing the empress dowager crying sadly, Emperor Jian'an persuaded: "Mother, be at ease, if you are just angry, it will not be a problem. By then, you have not eaten for two days. If you worry about the matter of the seventh child, What if I fell ill myself? Why don’t you eat well first, and then talk about Lao Qi when you’re full.”
After finishing speaking, he looked up at Shunxi, and said: "Go and order the small kitchen to pick up some light dishes that my mother likes to eat on weekdays, and cook a pot of purple rice porridge. Do something to…”
Emperor Jian'an was quite thoughtful, but the queen mother's baby son is still awake, how can she have the heart to eat? With tears in his eyes, he said: "Don't eat, Aijia is not hungry, Aijia wants to eat with him when he wakes up!"
Just as he was talking, another report came from outside, saying that Empress Chen brought the prince and Princess Yichun to pay her respects to the queen mother.
The Empress Dowager Xiaoduan was worried, how would she want to see them, so she said forcefully: "No, tell them to go back, the Ai family will not see anyone today!"
Directly let people send their mothers away.
When Emperor Jian'an saw his mother, his whole heart was on Lao Qi, and she ignored his wife and children who came to see her kindly, so he couldn't help feeling a little resentful.
What the queen mother loves the most is indeed Lao Qi. Even though he openly confronts the queen mother because of that cheap woman, and even doesn't care if the queen mother starves to death, the queen mother can still forgive him without any grudges, and her love for him is also reduced by a bit. points!
If someone else did such a rebellious, unfilial, and immoral thing, the queen mother would not be able to tolerate it long ago, but if it were Lao Qi, she would be able to accept it calmly without any grievances, just like when Lao Qi killed the first emperor's favorite concubine and hurt When the queen mother and him were almost deposed by the first emperor, he wanted to hate Lao Qi to death at that time, but the queen mother didn't complain at all, and even cried and said how filial Lao Qi was, how affectionate he was. However, he has been quite critical of his son who cares about the overall situation and understands the general situation, as if complaining that he did not fight against that beloved concubine, and did not vent his anger on her.
She didn't even think about it, if he didn't bear the humiliation like he did in the past, and confronted the beloved concubine like the old seven, or simply killed her with a knife, would the late emperor still tolerate him? He has been abolished a long time ago. If he had been abolished, what kind of empress dowager would the mother be
It's a pity that the queen mother doesn't understand these things, she has been blinded by her partial love, no matter what, she just thinks that Lao Qi is better than him, and even Lao Qi has the military power to command the 300,000 troops in the north. Ask the first emperor for the old seven.
He believed that if the late emperor hadn't looked down on Lao Qi, the queen mother's doting on Lao Qi would definitely have forced the late emperor to give him all the land! Fortunately, the late emperor was wise and looked down on Lao Qi, who was deviant and rebellious, and passed on the country to himself. Otherwise, it is not certain who owns the Chu country!
This thought made Emperor Jian'an feel even more uncomfortable. He squinted his eyes, silently looked at his younger brother on the couch, and wondered if he was arrogant and coveted the divine weapon. If there is no one, let it be, if there is, even his own brother, he will definitely not tolerate him!
"Is Lao Qi's medicine ready? Why isn't it ready?"
The Empress Dowager didn't see the dark cloud on the elder son's face, her eyes were only on the younger son, she touched his son's cheek with distress, seeing him like this, she wished she could replace her with her own body.
Chun Liu said softly: "Back to the Queen Mother, the medicine has been decocted, Xia Jin is watching it in person, the imperial doctor told Xiao Huo to decoct it, so it is slow."
The queen mother heard this and ordered: "Tell her to be careful, don't fry the medicine."
Seeing the empress dowager's nervous, delirious appearance, Emperor Jian'an panicked, got up and said: "Mother, my son still has something to do, so I will take my leave first, and my son will come to see you tomorrow! "
The Queen Mother heard that he was leaving, so she turned her eyes and shouted: "Your Majesty, please don't leave. You are here. Let's discuss the matter of the seventh child. Seeing that this evil person is already in a daze, it is not that woman who will not marry you." Now, the emperor said, what should we do?"
Emperor Jian'an said softly: "My mother, the marriage between Lao Qi and An An was appointed by the Empress Dowager before her death. Everyone in Chu State knows it and it cannot be changed. There is no need to discuss this matter. Whether Lao Qi wants to or not, he They all have to go to Ann."
"But, but didn't you see it? Lao Qi even wanted his life because of that woman. The Ai family was afraid that he would not follow her..."
Empress Dowager Xiaoduan complained, while looking at her son who was sleeping on the couch, her heart softened for a moment, and she even thought that he could marry whoever he liked, as long as he was happy.
However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Emperor Jian'an, "Queen Mother, Lao Qi is a member of the royal family. His words and deeds represent not only him, but also our entire royal family. If he wants to break his promise and marry her If it is not only his business, but also discredits the royal family, I will never agree. If he insists on going his own way and insists on marrying that woman, I can only decree that King Zhan died early to the people all over the world, so that From then on, he changed his identity to avoid our royal family from getting a bad impression in the hearts of the people that we don't value filial piety and don't keep our promises."
When the queen mother heard this, her eyes widened immediately, "How can I change my identity? If I change my identity, wouldn't he be a prince?"
Emperor Jian'an said coldly: "Not only is he not a prince, but he is not even a descendant of Chunyu's family. Therefore, if the queen mother does not want him to lose his status, she should persuade him well and stop letting him be dazed anymore. There are so many women in the world." Yes, why lose your identity and glory for a woman?"
When the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan heard this, she shed tears immediately, looked at Chunyuzhen who was sleeping on the couch and murmured, "It's really a crime, why do you think you were so fascinated by that little vixen? You What can I do if I call my mother..."
*****
At this time, in the Fu Yin's mansion in Jizhou, Zhao Yuanyuan, the daughter of the Fu Yin, was sitting on a chair with a sullen face, and Mrs. Qi knelt in front of her with her head bowed, her old face was already swollen like a steamed bun. Even the eyes were squeezed, leaving only two narrowed slits.
Just now, Zhao Yuanyuan has found out the truth about the so-called "Shen Ruolan was gang-raped".
It turned out that the woman that Mrs. Qi's godson asked someone to spoil was not Shen Ruolan at all, but Shen Ruolan's cousin. In other words, her hundreds of taels of silver were wasted.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanyuan was so angry that her eyes turned blue, she immediately called for Mrs. Qi, and without saying a word, she slapped her so hard that her mouth was bleeding.
A useless old thing, taking so much money from her for nothing, and messing things up, if she didn't mess things up, how could King Zhan continue to spoil Shen Ruolan's lowly hoof? It's not because she broke off the marriage with Princess An'an.
Princess An An has secretly promised her the position of side concubine. As long as An An marries King Zhan, the position of side concubine will be at her fingertips.
However, just because the old pig and dog messed things up, An An was kicked out of the game by her, and her position as a concubine came to naught.
Thinking about her low-key and petty efforts in front of An An in the past few months, she almost succeeded in doing everything she could to please her. The water is gone, can she not be angry
"Things that are not enough to succeed but fail to do so, it's lucky that Miss Ben still trusts you so much. This idea has been ruined by me. What's the use of keeping you? It's better to sell it clean!" Zhao Yuanyuan thought more and more. The more angry he was, he couldn't help cursing angrily.
When Mrs. Qi heard that she was going to sell her, she was frightened out of her wits, kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Miss, please forgive me, this old servant is wrong, please see that this old slave has put his heart into serving you all these years, please forgive me." Let the old slave suffer..."
She is a long-standing old man in this mansion, she has always been very respectable in front of her master, and she can be regarded as a high-class slave among the servants, she can get a monthly payment of one tael of silver, not only that, but there is always oil and water But, the old man and his son-in-law and daughter-in-law are all like dogs in this mansion because of her. If she dies, won't their whole family die with them
Because of this, Mrs. Qi was frightened out of her wits, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Yuanyuan, and her scalp became oily after a while.
Zhao Yuanyuan stared at her angrily for a while, and then said: "It's okay to forgive you, go, let me carefully check the past of that woman surnamed Shen, and find out all the stains in her past. The more the better, as long as you find out, this lady can spare you, otherwise, hehe... "
She sneered, and said with a ferocious face, "You and the rest of you wash your necks and wait to die!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Qi had no reason to disobey, and immediately agreed sweatingly, and made a vow to promise that she would investigate carefully, and she would definitely find out Shen Ruolan's past!
Zhao Yuanyuan feels that since Shen Ruolan can hook up with King Zhan, it is enough to show that she is not a safe and secure person, and she must have been a hooker when she was in the country. If she can find out her past stains, and then try to spread it to King Zhan's ears are gone. With the status of King Zhan, it is impossible to marry a woman with a bad style, and it is impossible to sit idly by her past!
In this way, Shen Ruolan will definitely lose power. As long as she loses power, maybe King Zhan can still marry An An. If she marries An An, wouldn't she have a chance to take the position of side concubine
Even if he doesn't marry An An, it's fine. She can ask her parents to help her find a way to get her into the backyard of King Zhan's mansion. As long as Shen Ruolan is not in the backyard of King Zhan's mansion, the women in the backyard can share the benefits equally, and she will There is a chance to become his beloved woman...
After Mrs. Qi took the order, she even scrambled out to find her son and godsons. When her son and godson heard about this, they were taken aback. It is not a trivial matter for Mrs. Fu Yin's daughter to get angry. If the eldest lady is upset and acts coquettishly and foolishly with her father, it will be enough to send these brothers to the prison and never get out for the rest of their lives!
So, several people hurriedly gathered their people and went to hot pot restaurants, printing factories and dim sum workshops to inquire about Shen Ruolan's past.
Shen Ruolan didn't know that she was being targeted. At this moment, their family left the capital in a car and continued to walk north.
When the carriage was driving more than a hundred miles outside the city, I suddenly saw a pair of staggering mother and daughter walking on the road with their heads downcast.
Hearing the sound of a carriage coming from behind, the mother and daughter hurriedly hid on the side of the road. It turned out to be the mother and daughter Youshi and Hu Meijiao.
Since they were kicked out of the palace, they started to walk home, because they had no money to hire a car, and they didn't have much strength to walk, so even if they walked a day earlier than Shen Ruolan and the others, it was only a few dozen miles longer than them. They caught up in half a day in a carriage.
The carriage ran very fast, and it ran up to them in a blink of an eye. Youshi and Hu Meijiao couldn't help but look at the carriage enviously, but they didn't want to see Shen Dejian's family sitting in the carriage.
At this moment, Shen Dejian's family was talking and laughing, and no one paid attention to the two embarrassed women on the side of the road.
"Mother, look, look quickly, that's Lan Ya, isn't it?"
Hu Meijiao was so excited that she grabbed her mother's arm and pointed at the passing car with one hand.
Because it is still early autumn, the weather in the capital is not very cold, and it is even very hot at noon, so the windows of this car are wide open, and half of the people in the car can be exposed for others to see.
You Shi also saw Shen Dejian and Shen Ruolan, but when he first saw it, he didn't dare to recognize Shen Ruolan. It's only been a few months since he saw her. This girl's appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes. She has gained weight. She is white and good-looking. The glimpse just now really surprised her!
She still remembers Lan Ya's appearance as an emperor in the past, she was yellow, thin, and dirty, like a dry and skinny monkey, but now the beauty in the car has creamy skin, Her eyes are like stars, her lips are like cherries, and her face is like peach blossoms. Only the outline is somewhat similar to the past, and the rest is completely different from the past. If Shen Dejian was not sitting beside her, she would definitely not recognize her. !
In fact, even Shen Dejian has changed. He is whiter and fatter than before. Even his temperament and style of dressing are different from before.
It's just that he is an adult after all, and his body outline has been fixed for a long time. Although he is now whiter and fatter than before, and he is also better dressed than before, but in Youshi's eyes, it is still easy to see his changes. What he recognized was not like Shen Ruolan, whose transformation seemed to have completely blinded her eyes.
"Hey, hey, Second Brother Shen—Second Brother Shen—"
After a short period of astonishment, You Shi realized later that since they were going north, they must be going back to their hometown in Nong'an. This place is thousands of miles away from their hometown in Nong'an. She was worried about what happened to their mother Walking back, I happened to meet them, and I don't know if they can take the two of them back.
Shen Dejian was sitting in the car talking to Mrs. Mu, when he heard a woman's voice from behind, who seemed to be calling him, so he leaned on the car window and poked his head out, only to see Youshi's mother and daughter all at once.
Shen Dejian froze for a moment, then subconsciously shouted: "Stop!"
When Shen Ruolan heard You Shi calling her dad, she also stuck her head out. She also saw You Shi's mother and daughter, and when she heard Dad call 'stop', she immediately realized why Dad was going to stop the car, and she was also the one who was cold Say: "Don't stop, keep going!"
Shen Dejian said: "Why don't you let me stop? Dad remembers that you and that little girl have always been on good terms, and now it's so easy to meet in the capital, why do you have to say hello?"
Shen Ruolanzi: "Don't pay attention to them, they are not worthy!"
Seeing that her father was still puzzled, Shen Ruolan explained: "I have already broken up with that Hu Meijiao, and her mother is not a good person. If you try to pick them up today, you will be pestered by them later. Come on, such people can be killed and cannot be saved, so don't bother with them!"
Mrs. Mu left early, when she left Guashantuner, Youshi and her mother and daughter hadn't come to Gushantuner yet, so she didn't know who Youshi was, let alone how she behaved.
Shen Ruolan talked about Youshi's personality and how Hu Meijiao bullied her in the past, and how she asked her to work for their wives.
When Mr. Mu learned about You's personality and heard that Hu Meijiao had bullied her daughter, her handsome face suddenly turned ten degrees cold, and she asked calmly, "Father Lan'er, why are you stopping?" Say a few words to that Youshi? Say hello? Or should we pull them in and let them go back to the village with us?"
Shen Dejian looked at Mu's expression, and broke out in a cold sweat, "No, no, I didn't intend to take them back, nor did I want to say hello to them, I just thought about Lan'er and their little girl, and I wanted to call Lan'er Saying hello to their little girl is not rude, since Lan'er broke up with their little girl, then there is no need, it will save trouble, hehe, hehehe... "
Mrs. Mu glanced at him, "Then, what about now?"
Shen Dejian hurriedly said: "Go, keep going, don't stop, you can't waste your time for irrelevant people!"
Youshi yelled a few times with hope, but the two carriages acted as if they hadn't heard them, and left with whips, ignoring them at all.
