Outside the Kunning Palace, there is still a line of imperial guards standing guard.
Yun Yan walked in quickly from the outside, and said with a frown, "Empress, the news cannot be delivered."
Zhao Shuhua's calm complexion was clouded little by little. It had been six days, and Kunning Palace had been besieged for six days. During these six days, all her news could not be sent out, and the news of Yan Che from outside could not be sent in either. After six days, she didn't know what happened outside, Zhao Shuhua felt a little uneasy in her heart, "Where is Wanxi?"
"Eunuch Wan has thought of everything he can think of, but no, no matter whether it is the inner mansion or the imperial dining room, people are watching very closely. What we eat and drink these days are all arranged by Eunuch Yuan himself."
Yuan Qing personally arranged... Zhao Shuhua frowned, and clenched her fists after a while.
Yun Yan looked at the gloomy sky outside the window and said, "What the hell is the meaning of the emperor? He didn't let King Cheng succeed, and he didn't charge you with a crime, but just locked you here. What is the plan? "
Zhao Shuhua pursed her lips, her eyes were full of deep thoughts, she thought that being locked up for a few days was harmless, but now, it seems that it is more than that simple, that man is the emperor of the Great Zhou, she can't know what he is thinking in his heart !
Trapping her in the Kunning Palace, the one who is most anxious is not her, but Yan Che who is outside!
Zhao Shuhua's heart suddenly felt tense, "It's okay, as long as the prince can hold himself—"
Yun Yan pursed her lips and said, "I'm afraid His Highness is also in a hurry. Usually, His Highness the Crown Prince always asks you if he has any doubts. Now who should His Highness ask?"
Yunyan's words were a bit over the top, but Zhao Shuhua knew clearly that this was the truth.
Yan Che relied on her, even relied on her. Even though he had been the crown prince for a year, he still habitually discussed any big or small matters with her. This was extremely rare, but it was also extremely fatal.
Zhao Shuhua's heart beat faster and she suddenly couldn't sit still.
She stood up and walked to the window, and said coldly, "No, I must find a way to pass the news out. It has been six days, ten days, ten days at most, otherwise the prince will not know what to do."
She knows Yan Che too well. Yan Che's temperament is indeed rare and calm, but in all these years, he has never faced any storms by himself. Of course, she did not give him a chance. She used to mention it, but now Yan Huai separated the two of them... Zhao Shuhua suddenly woke up and thought, could this be Yan Huai's purpose
When Zhao Shuhua was trying to send the news, Yan Che was also anxious to know what Zhao Shuhua was planning, but by all means, the imperial guards outside the Kunning Palace were impenetrable and flawless.
In the side hall of the East Palace, Yan Che's face was frosty, Tang Fu stood aside with a crying face, and sighed, "King Cheng is still investigating, and the palace is going to be overturned by him. Knowing what ruthless moves will be made, hey, it's better to let the empress come out and confront."
Of course it is impossible to confront, Yan Che thought in his heart.
Song Xiwen did indeed die at the hands of his mother...
Although Song Xiwen's body should not have appeared in the backyard of Prince Jin's Mansion, Yan Che is not in the mood to think about who is behind the scenes and what is the purpose. The queen's imprisonment is a signal. As time goes by, Yan Che becomes more and more disturbed .
"The emperor said that the queen's confinement will be lifted when the time is up, but who knows how long it will be? King Cheng is not easy to get along with, and I don't know which side the emperor's heart is biased..."
Yan Che's eyes narrowed slightly, yes, father's heart is the most important thing.
Yan Qi launched an attack, but the emperor just imprisoned the empress. It seemed that he was defending the empress with small punishments, but what if the empress was imprisoned for longer and longer...
Yan Che sighed, the more difficult the situation was, the less he could panic.
"It's okay, Father will not let Yan Qi continue to investigate."
Tang Fu panicked, "It's a pity that the general is not in the capital. It would be great if the general was in the capital."
A light flashed in Yan Che's eyes, and he suddenly thought of the letter that Zhao Shuhua showed him a few days ago.
His grandfather has guarded the northern border for many years, and he still doesn't know the news about the capital. If that day really comes...
This idea suddenly appeared, and Yan Che forced himself to press it down. Yan Che shook his head, keeping in mind the rule of not sharing information with the army. Tang Fu saw Yan Che's expression was uncertain, and said, "But Your Highness don't need to worry too much, I heard that something happened in King Cheng's backyard in the past few days, and there is a lot of chaos in the mansion, it seems that a concubine's child is gone."
Yan Che sneered coldly, Yan Qi was promiscuous and lustful, and there were countless beauties in the back house, so it would be abnormal if nothing happened.
As soon as the idea was settled, the eunuch outside reported, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is here—"
Yan Che raised his brows, "I want to deal with government affairs, so I don't see you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qin Chaoyu stepping into the door. The eunuch looked panic-stricken and frightened. Yan Che frowned and waved his hand to make him retreat. Qin Chaoyu said with a smile, "No matter how busy your Highness is, you must Pay attention to your body."
Qin Chaoyu was carrying a food box, which contained her carefully prepared tonics, but Yan Che just took a look, "I didn't let the Crown Princess in, it's better for the Crown Princess to stay in her own yard."
Qin Chaoyu's smile cracked, but he quickly settled down, and turned to say, "His Royal Highness bothers the concubine because of the matter of the queen mother. I know that the concubine has been silently praying for the queen mother and letting the concubine know that she has been silently praying for the concubine for the past few days. Take it easy on yourself."
Yan Che raised his eyes to look at Qin Chaoyu, Qin Chaoyu said, "This is my mother's favorite scripture. Although my concubine has not been with my mother for a long time, I feel that my mother is the one who died before the mountain collapsed. Now that the Kunning Palace is in the quagmire, it is time to test the Queen Mother and His Highness, the Emperor Father and the Queen Mother are a married couple, so they will definitely not treat the Queen Mother badly."
Regardless of other things, Qin Chaoyu's words suppressed the anxiety in Yan Che's heart a little bit. Yan Che relaxed a little, but he was thinking in his heart, even if it was a married couple, so what, his father had been prosperous for twenty years. There is another person who is not badly favored.
Qin Chaoyu took out the supplements from the food box, "The concubine just found out that Jiu Yiniang in Chengwang's mansion had a miscarriage, and her anti-fetal medicine was somehow tampered with, and the three-month-old baby was gone."
The soup in the porcelain cup was fragrant, but Yan Che was unmoved, he raised his eyebrows, and Qin Chaoyu said, "Imperial heirs are always the most important thing, and this is the first child of His Highness's generation." , among other things, if the Empress Dowager finds out, she will be extremely sad..."
Qin Chaoyu smiled gently, looking straight at Yan Che with a pair of beautiful eyes, Yan Che looked into Qin Chaoyu's eyes, and sometimes wondered how Qin Chaoyu could pretend to be so perfect, she is indeed very outstanding in Beijing His noble daughter, but she looked at him with trust and tenderness at the moment, occasionally giving him the illusion of their close relationship.
"In that case, it's up to you to let the imperial grandmother know about it."
Yan Che's order was very straightforward, Qin Chaoyu smiled, "The concubine obeys."
"I remember that the nine aunts of King Cheng seem to be..."
Yan Che looked at Qin Chaoyu questioningly, Qin Chaoyu smiled wryly, "Your Highness remembers well, King Cheng's Jiu Yiniang is a concubine's cousin, who was kidnapped by King Cheng at the beginning, and later she herself willingly fell into depravity, Now he has been expelled from the Qin family."
After this incident happened, Qin Shu came here to apologize, Yan Che pondered for a moment, "Although she is a concubine, she is still the daughter of the Qin family. Since something like this happened, you should send more people to greet her."
Qin Chaoyu quickly understood what Yan Che meant, and responded with a smile. Seeing Yan Che's expression was cold, Qin Chaoyu didn't say much, and resigned and left very tactfully. The smile on the table also dissipated.
Mo Yun stepped forward, "Ma'am, has Your Highness used it?"
Qin Chaoyu knew that Yan Che wouldn't use it without looking back. Shaking his head, Mo Yun was very annoyed, "Your Majesty has been preparing for so long, and His Highness doesn't use it every time. Isn't this a waste of Your Majesty's heart!"
As he spoke, he muttered, "Your Highness wastes your empress's thoughts every time..."
The wry smile on Qin Chaoyu's face was even stronger, even her maid could see clearly, Yan Che would not look at how much she had done for him, nor would she look at whether she was a qualified princess, he had no pity for her , marrying her back is just a display.
Why is it completely different from what I imagined at the beginning
The queen liked her so much and valued her so much, she thought that Yan Che was willing from the bottom of her heart.
Qin Chaoyu frowned, "What did that nanny say last time?"
"Huh? Which nanny is your mother talking about?" Mo Yun didn't react for a moment.
Qin Chaoyu walked towards his courtyard very slowly, "The one who has served His Highness for many years, surnamed Sun? Or Huang?"
Mo Yun's eyes suddenly revealed a sudden surprise, "Your Majesty is talking about Huang Momo, right? Huang Momo said a lot last time..."
Mo Yun didn't know what Qin Chaoyu was asking, but Qin Chaoyu himself remembered that the Huang Nanny had reached the age of sixty. She was originally the queen's wet nurse, and later became the prince's close nanny when she was young. This Huang Nai is very respectful, and after she found out that the crown prince treated her coldly, she deliberately curry favor with Huang Momo, Huang Momo is such a good person, she knew her distress, so she told her that the former Shen family lady, It was the prince himself who liked it, and it was the prince himself who proposed to accept the concubine. The prince is an affectionate person. If you want to get his favor, you'd better get his heart first.
Qin Chaoyu began to smile wryly again. She had already sent someone to investigate the prince's previous marriage contract, but the results of the investigation were very pale. The number of times that Miss Shen's family entered the palace can be counted on the fingers, and she does not even leave the gate on weekdays. It is impossible for her If you have a relationship with the prince in private, what does the prince value about her? What chance is there
All of this is unknown, and it is even more impossible for Qin Chaoyu to ask.
"Get ready, let's go to Shoukang Palace to greet the Queen Mother."
Qin Chaoyu quickly cleaned up her emotions. Now that the queen is grounded, it is definitely not the time for her to think wildly.
…
In Prince Cheng's mansion, Mrs. Yu, the Duke of Zhong, was hugging Feng Chenbi and wiping her tears, "Your Highness, Shen Bi grew up with you. Although she is arrogant, she won't do things like murder. How could you misunderstand me like this?" What about her?"
Listening to Yu's crying, Yan Qi felt that his head was going to explode. It was enough for him to deal with Feng Shenbi's troubles, and now he added an old woman. He only felt that his patience was growing at a visible speed. Consumed, the cries of Yu Shi and Feng Chenbi were buzzing like flies, and the fist placed by his side turned slightly, he didn't know if he would violently beat someone in the next moment, he didn't hit women , but there are exceptions to everything.
"That bitch is nothing more than a concubine. She didn't tell you about her pregnancy earlier. How can she blame Shen Bi now? That bitch lured you into the palace at the beginning. Now, who knows who she is? It wasn't intentional to frame Shen Bi, you know Shen Bi's straightforward nature, how could you believe that bitch's words?!"
Yu yelled "bitch" one after another, and Yan Qi felt pain in his ears.
However, Mrs. Yu continued, "My lord was very anxious when he found out about this, I'm afraid you might misunderstand Shen Bi, but my aunt knows that the lord is a wise man, and he will never be fooled by such tricks. Don't cry anymore, the lord is just scaring you, not really trying to get angry with you, what happened in the back house is because of your ineffective control..."
Yan Qi was really about to be laughed out of anger. She thought that this foul-mouthed aunt would know that Sapo was crying, but who knew she would give him this trick. If she was a thin-skinned person, she might be right, but he The aunt obviously underestimated him, and Yan Qi's impatience was about to overflow, so he waved his hand, "First help the Duke and his wife up, and help the princess up too."
Feng Chenbi was kneeling on the ground at first, but Yu Shi hugged her and cried as soon as she arrived, both of them were paralyzed on the ground at the moment, and the nuns at the side immediately stepped forward to help her, Yu Shi glanced at Yan Qi and wiped away tears He said, "My lord doesn't know. The twists and turns of this inner house are not as simple as those in the hall. Many things can't just be looked at on the surface. Is Jiu Yiniang in her own courtyard? The lord is the one who does big things, so leave these things to Shen Bi." It's fine, Shen Bi can't do it, and my aunt is here..."
Yu Shi spoke with great sincerity, and just as he finished speaking, a servant came in from outside and whispered something in Yan Qi's ear, Yan Qi's complexion suddenly became very ugly, and he stared at Yan Qi with a cold smile. Feng Chenbi and Yu Shi's fierce eyes suddenly filled their faces with horror, Yan Qi said coldly, "Who went to the Duke's Mansion to report the news?"
As soon as these words came out, a woman guarding the door immediately changed her face, Yan Qi didn't say much, and raised her chin to signal the woman, who knelt on the ground immediately, and was about to shout at Yu Shi and Feng Chenbi Asking for help, the guard who came from behind quickly covered his mouth with his hand, and dragged him outside, Yu's face turned pale with fright, "My lord—"
Yan Qi looked at her, and the words in Yu Shi's mouth could not be uttered, but Yan Qi said slowly, "Two options—"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Yu immediately raised her mind, and only heard Yan Qi say, "First, get out of Cheng Wang's mansion immediately for this king."
Yu's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe that Yan Qi would say such a thing to her, but Yan Qi hadn't finished speaking, "Second, take her, and this king's letter of divorce, and get out of Cheng Wang's mansion, you, Which one to choose?"
Yan Qi was not in a hurry, and his voice was not too loud, but when these words fell, Yu's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were all afraid, because when Yan Qi said the word "divorce letter", the anger in his eyes seemed to be As if wanting to tear them apart.
Yu Shi hesitated for a long time, then let go of Feng Chenbi's hand in a hurry, Feng Chenbi watched Yu Shi leave with tears on his face, and met Yan Qi's eyes full of sneers, "Clean up and enter the palace—"
