Jiang Wenya was stunned, she saw the seriousness in the little fox's dark pupils, and there was an inexplicable emotion that she couldn't understand, but she just subconsciously wanted to escape.
"If you want, I will help you. Everything depends on you." Jiang Wenya lowered her eyelids, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, but her face was indifferent, making it impossible to see through her thoughts.
Song Chengli sighed, wanting to say something, but thinking of the current identities of the two of them, he had no choice but to swallow everything.
With a decision in his heart, Song Chengli didn't hide it anymore, "Okay, I want you..."
The suspicious pause made Jiang Wenya's heart tremble, and she heard him continue, "...help me."
I don't know why Jiang Wenya heard a smile from it, she was a little annoyed immediately, her face darkened, and she started to chase people away, "Since this is the case, the prince should go back quickly and make preparations, don't delay here."
Song Chengli should have left a long time ago, but he just kept guarding until now because he was worried. He was finally sure that Jiang Wenya would not be in any danger, and now he had to go back and arrange some things.
"My lord, why don't you hurry up? Don't blame me when you lose the opportunity." Jiang Wenya saw that he didn't move, and said this sentence with a half-smile.
Song Chengli's eyes froze slightly, and he had other plans in mind, maybe he can't be the emperor
After watching the person leave, Jiang Wenya thought she would not be able to fall asleep, but she fell asleep until the afternoon, when she heard some movement on the bed, Cai He came in to take a look.
"Your Majesty, you've woken up." Cai He's face was a little anxious, and Jiang Wenya expected that many things must have happened after she had slept for so long.
After all, it was a special moment, and the outside world was changing rapidly. While waiting for the empress to freshen up, Cai He talked about things one by one.
"The empress said that the emperor should not stay in the Yongshou Palace, so she asked people to carry the emperor to the Qianqing Palace." In Cai He's view, this is the most important thing, after all, she still doesn't know that her master and the emperor have already been engaged in endless troubles It's over.
Jiang Wenya nodded, it's good to carry her away, lest she die in Yongshou Palace, which is bad luck.
Seeing that the master didn't express any anxiety, Caihe thought that the master hadn't thought of it, so she reminded, "Your Majesty, this servant said something disrespectful. Now that the emperor is like this, if you are not careful, you have to make plans for your future."
Jiang Wenya paused, looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and felt so strange for a moment.
She looked at her bright red lips decorated with lip balm, and smiled, "I am free."
In the next two days, the imperial physicians were still at a loss for what to do about Song Chengdi's condition. They could only conclude that it was caused by alcohol. However, there were similar examples in ancient medical books, but there was no solution.
Emperor Song Cheng had such a problem, it must have involved the previous dynasty, the ministers were panicked, and the most important ones knew more about the emperor's condition than others.
Only a country cannot be without a king for a day. Seeing that Emperor Cheng of Song Dynasty has been like this for two days, he is in a hurry.
"Teacher Li, it's impossible to continue like this. Now the emperor's health is getting weaker and weaker, and the imperial physician can't find an effective way. We need to be fully prepared." It was Prime Minister Sun who spoke.
Taifu Li stroked his gray beard, his gaze was deep and distant, he was an old man of three dynasties, he was a young master during the first emperor's time, and Taifu Li was also present when the late emperor was seriously ill and left him alone.
The first emperor knew the qualifications of the nine princes, and only asked him to be the king who defended the city. With the help of three humerus ministers, Li Taifu, Prime Minister Sun and Xuan Pinghou, the Song Kingdom could defend it.
Only in recent years, Emperor Song Cheng's temper has become more and more revealed. Li Taifu and Prime Minister Sun also discussed it in private, but in the end they could only sigh.
If they want to be worthy of the trust of the first emperor, they can only persuade them, but Emperor Song Cheng obviously didn't listen to them, and he acted more radically than before.
"A country cannot live without a king." Taifu Li and Prime Minister Sun looked at each other, and they both thought of someone.
King Rui!
Prime Minister Sun frowned subconsciously. He was rather old-fashioned, and he often had conflicts with Li Taifu in government affairs. The two had only known each other for a long time, and they always kept a clear line between public and private.
"When King Rui first entered Beijing, the emperor was so seriously ill. This old man thought it was not an easy matter."
Taifu Li shook his head, "Maybe it's a coincidence, if King Rui really wanted that position, he didn't have to..."
After all this, both of them can understand.
Prime Minister Sun was still skeptical. How could there be such a coincidence in this world? He didn't believe it.
Taifu Li seemed to know what was going on in his heart, and he emphasized his tone, "If the sage's condition does not improve, King Rui will be the only one left."
"You and I both know that King Rui was talented and intelligent when he was young, and you and I both know our views on state affairs. Even if the matter of the Holy Majesty is not a coincidence, it must be a coincidence!"
Prime Minister Sun was stunned by these words, yes, if something happened to the emperor, the only one in the royal family who could stand up was King Rui.
After sighing, Prime Minister Sun acquiesced to Li Taifu's words.
No one knew about the conversation between the two elders, but on the third day, Emperor Song Cheng was still unable to move. All the ministers gathered together and began to argue about the king's affairs.
Few people insisted on waiting for Emperor Song Cheng to recover, but more people wanted someone to preside over the government.
King Rui was in it and didn't speak, but most of his eyes were on the prince.
In the end, Taifu Li and Prime Minister Sun came out together to calm down the scene.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is seriously ill. Please take charge of the government temporarily. If this continues, the government will be in chaos. The enemy will not miss this opportunity. Then spread rumors, and the people and soldiers on the border will be panic-stricken. I'm afraid the situation is not good." Li Taifu's words were exactly what he was worried about.
Ever since the news of Marquis Xuan Ping's serious injury and death, the enemy countries on the border began to stir up troubles. Now they have tried repeatedly, if they are given a chance, if they start another war, it will be the Song people who will suffer.
"This king just went to Beijing to offer incense to the late emperor, and to do his duty as a son. He really has no intention of doing this." Song Chengli refused directly on his face, making it difficult to see his true thoughts.
Taifu Li and Prime Minister Sun looked at each other, not understanding that things have come to this point, it is meaningless for King Rui to evade.
In fact, it was not only Prime Minister Sun who was suspicious, but also Taifu Li, and the other courtiers were full of doubts, but no one said it.
No matter why Song Chengli refused, for the sake of Song, the two elders would not give up easily.
After the last refusal, Song Chengli remained unmoved, and all the ministers were a little bit shaken by their doubts in their hearts.
It was Taifu Li who knelt down first, and Song Chengli was moved, and wanted to go forward to help, but he didn't expect to kneel down one after another.
Song Chengli had no choice but to compromise in the end, "I really don't want to be on the throne, and I don't want to be trapped in this capital. Now that Your Majesty is like this, I can't continue to shirk."
This means that I agreed, and the others breathed a sigh of relief, so I heard Song Chengli continue, "I also invite a few elders to select talented children from the clan this morning to inherit the great line in the future, and everyone remembers that this king is only in danger. "
These words are even more true, making the faces of those who doubt Song Chengli's disobedience turn red.
Thinking about it carefully, the emperor has been grumpy and drinking too much recently, maybe it's just a coincidence.
Song Chengli's attitude made most people dispel their doubts about him.
Right after Song Chengli took over the affairs of state, there was a rumor in the harem that if the emperor didn't raise him, even if he didn't have this experience, he wouldn't have any more children in the future.
The concubines didn't know where the rumor came from, but all the palaces knew about it after half a day's work.
They all remembered why the emperor hadn't entered the harem for a long time, and why he was so anxious about Ning Jieyu's unborn child, everything seemed to be explained.
At this time, there were only the Queen and Jiang Wenya in the Qianqing Palace. The Queen's face was not very good-looking. She looked at Jiang Wenya and said, "The imperial concubine must have heard about it. If it is true as the rumors say, then I will ask You, the emperor has not been to other concubines in recent months, but has been to Yongshou Palace several times alone, could it be that the noble concubine never sleeps?"
Jiang Wenya didn't mind her attitude either, "The concubine had a miscarriage and has been raising her body. When the emperor came, she just drank too much. The concubine thought that His Majesty was annoyed by state affairs, so she never thought much about it."
"Besides, the queen is questioning me now, is it because she suspects that the rumors are false?"
Without waiting for the queen to answer, Jiang Wenya continued, "The emperor is seriously ill now, you can ask Eunuch Hu about this and you will know, if it is fake, then drive that talkative screwdriver to Xinzheku, if it is true, the queen may be Be more troubled, suppress this rumor, after all, spreading it will damage the emperor's reputation."
The queen stared at her, but didn't see anything strange on Jiang Wenya's face, so she rubbed the center of her brows with a headache.
The rumor appeared suddenly, and when she realized it, it was already raging. Without Jiang Wenya's reminder, the empress had already issued a ban, but they didn't dare to discuss it on the surface, and they couldn't stop it behind their backs.
Besides, after Jiang Wenya's words, the queen also wanted to know whether the rumors were true or not, so she told Hu Jiuqing that the imperial concubine was the same as the deputy queen, Jiang Wenya wanted to listen, and the queen was not easy to drive him away.
Facing the two biggest masters in the palace, and His Majesty didn't know how long it would last, Hu Jiuqing gritted his teeth and said it all.
The queen was shocked and furious, "Damn it, Ning Jieyu really deserves to die!"
Like Emperor Song Cheng, she blamed Ning Guoguo for the incident.
Afterwards, as if thinking of something, the queen left in a hurry, leaving only Jiang Wenya to serve the sick in Qianqing Palace.
Approaching the inner hall, he looked at Emperor Song Cheng who was lying on the bed and had lost a lot of weight in just a few days. When he saw Jiang Wenya at this moment, his eyes were wide open, showing biting hatred.
Jiang Wenya didn't care, she sat on the side of the bed and took the time to admire Song Chengdi's embarrassed appearance.
"The emperor must have heard what Cai just said. What should I do? Now everyone in the harem knows that the emperor is not good enough. It won't be long before the people of Song Dynasty will know."
Emperor Song Cheng's chest heaved violently, and his eyes were bloodshot. One could imagine how much he wanted to skin and bone the woman in front of him at this moment.
Jiang Wenya continued to irritate him, "Now that King Rui is in charge of the government, you will be silent in four days. By then, the world will belong to King Rui. The emperor must be very pleased to see his concubines like this."
Slut, this slut, if I had known today, I should have killed that bastard together with that bastard! Song Chengdi hated so much in his heart, but he couldn't even move, and even held his breath.
"You thought my father was dead, are you relieved?" Jiang Wenya smiled, giving Emperor Song Cheng a bad premonition.
"Chen Qie tells you, my father is living well. Everything is just a show for you, a fool."
"Since you think you are in control of people's hearts, you were easily drugged by me, and you were easily deceived into this appearance. You are not a good lord, are you happy now?"
"Pfft..." Under Jiang Wenya's series of critical attacks, Emperor Song Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, splashing all over his face and quilt.
Jiang Wenya quickly hid away, looking very disgusted, and did not forget to add, "That's all you have."
Emperor Song Cheng took another mouthful of blood, and then gasped for breath. Jiang Wenya frowned. If he died at this time, he would inevitably be in trouble, so he called the imperial physician.
In the end, the imperial doctor stabbed several needles on the top of Song Chengdi's head before he managed to stop it.
Jiang Wenya always paid attention to the actions of the previous dynasty. During this time, Tang Lihua went to the palace, and when she heard Jiang Wenya talk about King Rui, Tang Lihua's heart was complicated.
This King Rui didn't seem to appear in the novel, Tang Lihua only felt that it was wrong, the plot of the novel was deviated, but it seemed to be logical.
"Since that's the case, the emperor won't be any better, so your father doesn't have to fake his death." Tang Lihua thought of this question.
Jiang Wenya was stunned, this fake death was already dead, and the people of Song Kingdom knew about it, so how could they come back to life
Tang Lihua saw what she was thinking and said with a smile, "This is a simple matter, so I will leave it to grandma. You only need to protect yourself in the palace."
Jiang Wenya still believed in her grandmother, so she felt relieved.
Tang Lihua sent a letter to Nanling immediately after returning home. A few days ago, the emperor was seriously ill, so Tang Lihua ordered people to send a letter to Huang's quickly, telling them not to rush to death, but to see the situation before talking. .
Now that Tang Lihua knew that King Rui was the variable that prompted her granddaughter to poison her, it was a good thing.
It was easy to bring Xuan Ping Hou back to life. It was only said that Xuan Ping Hou's condition had worsened at that time, and he was so angry that the imperial doctor thought that he could not be saved. He was afraid that the emperor would be anxious, so he sent back news.
Unexpectedly, Xuanping Houji had his own celestial features, and finally escaped from danger. As long as he takes good care of him, he can recover.
As for her granddaughter's plan to send King Rui to the throne, Tang Lihua has no objection. Relatively speaking, this path is simpler.
On the sixth day, Emperor Cheng of Song Dynasty had already shown the face of being exhausted, and the imperial physicians were helpless. The diagnosis result was reported to the outer hall, and the courtiers were silent.
The news that Xuan Pinghou was not dead also spread back to the government and the public, but everyone didn't pay attention to it.
On the seventh day, Emperor Song Cheng's mind was damaged by Jiang Wenya's anger, and he died of drunkenness in his sleep before the seventh day.
This is the first emperor who died of drunkenness since the founding of the Song Dynasty. In addition to the efforts of these few days, rumors of the emperor's refusal have already spread outside the palace.
Emperor Song Cheng died before he could show his fists in this life. In the past five years, he was only moderate in handling the government affairs, and he was even more incomparable with the emperors of the Song Dynasty over the years.
The emperor died, and the country mourned for three days.
King Rui didn't want to ascend to the throne, and the elders saw that he was serious, so they could only select young children from the clan and send them to the palace to raise.
In Ganquan Palace, the national funeral was held, and the queen did not rest well for three whole days. Chun Xia pressed her veins, "Empress, when the clan sons are selected, they must be raised under your knees. At that time, you will be the real one." Empress Dowager."
The queen also showed a sincere smile, she has been fighting in the harem for so long because of this moment, "It's just that the emperor went early, I can't have my own children after all."
Chunxia wanted to comfort the queen, but she said quickly, "Even if the emperor didn't go, he couldn't let the empress conceive, the empress..."
Before he finished speaking, he was shocked by the queen's sharp gaze.
Cold sweat broke out on Chun Xia's back, and he kept slapping himself, "Your Majesty, forgive me, my slaves are open-mouthed, Your Majesty forgive me."
The queen sighed, "Forget it, you are right, get up."
"Thank you, ma'am." After kowtowing, Chun Xia dared to get up.
"Jiang Wenya, it doesn't matter how favored you are, it doesn't matter if your family background is more noble than this palace, in the end, this palace will still overwhelm you." Looking towards the direction of Yongshou Palace through the window, the queen's face was full of joy.
Originally, when the news of Marquis Xuan Ping's health came back, the empress was indeed anxious, but then she thought that even if Jiang Wenya had the support of Marquis Xuan Ping's mansion, she would never be able to surpass her as empress, so she felt at ease.
Now just waiting for the elders to select the son of the clan, everything will be settled.
It's just that things often don't go as expected. In a short period of time, the Queen's biological father took bribes, and the matter of up to two million taels was exposed.
The ransacking of the family and exile was all done by Song Chengli, and it was also the result of discussions among the elders.
This time without Emperor Song Cheng, the Empress would not even have the chance to abdicate herself and keep her father. As a woman in the harem, she would not be able to find the elder Ge, let alone King Rui.
The queen's biological father was sentenced to beheaded by Qiu Hou for accepting bribes. The brothers usually relied on being uncles of the country, robbing women from good families, occupying people's property, and indiscriminately killing people.
Either way is the crime of beheading, and Song Chengli did not relent. It was half a month after the matter really settled.
In this matter, the sons of the clan who are suitable to inherit the great rule have been selected, but after this experience, the queen is obviously not suitable for raising.
Except that the queen is the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine's mother's family is the Xuanping Houfu, there is nothing to criticize.
In the end, it was decided that the son of the clan would be raised under the imperial concubine's knees, and she was called the concubine mother, who would be raised by her personally.
The empress was still an empress, and after the sons of the clan ascended the throne, they moved to the Shoukang Palace and became the Empress Dowager, just a false name.
The Empress Dowager is Jiang Wenya, who has always educated the little emperor. Jiang Wenya, who knows the news, is in a complicated mood.
She didn't expect the little fox to make such a choice. After all, he still didn't want the throne, and instead paved the way for himself. Even if he couldn't become the empress, the emperor was only six years old after all, and it would take more than ten or twenty years before he came to power. Year.
As the Empress Dowager, the Holy Mother who raised him, it is logical that she will be in charge of the government behind the curtain.
Jiang Wenya knew that this was the path paved for her by the little fox. If she had the ability to restrain her power during this period of time, and if she wanted to raise and depose the little emperor, then he, the regent, would help her.
A few years later, or even more than ten years later, the position of empress is not out of the question.
After thinking through all this, how could Jiang Wenya not be in a complicated mood, Jiang Wenya knew what the little fox thought about her.
But Jiang Wenya also knew that the little fox knew her, so she didn't bluntly let herself be with him.
I was moved, but with the lessons learned, Jiang Wenya didn't want to bother anymore.
She is not good enough for the little fox, and she doesn't want to delay, so the two of them stay where they should be, and let's get well.
Jiang Wenya intentionally avoided being alone with the little fox in the following days, which was not difficult to do.
After several days in a row, after the lights were finally turned off one night, Song Chengli blocked people in the bedroom.
