After returning to the Hou Mansion, Qin Wan was called to the main courtyard. Qin Shu and Hu Shi naturally inquired. Qin Wan couldn't say that the queen mother's illness was due to a dispute with the emperor, let alone the emperor's attitude towards the abolished prince. Qin Shu and Hu responded with vague words, and Qin Shu and Hu could see that Qin Wan was speechless, so they didn't force him to ask again. When Qin Wan left, the husband and wife were naturally frightened again. Restless, but did not go back to Songfengyuan, and turned out of the Hou's Mansion and went straight to Prince Rui's Mansion.
After Yan Zhen got married, Qin Wan and Yan Chi's wedding date was getting closer and closer, but now the two of them didn't have any more thoughts on the big wedding. What was in front of them was more imminent. In the palace, Yan Chi was about to go out, seeing Qin Wan appearing, Yan Chi was a little surprised, "If you are later, you won't be able to touch him."
Seeing that he was going out, Qin Wan just asked, "Where are you going?"
Yan Chi said, "I went to the palace to see the imperial grandmother. I heard that the imperial grandmother was sick last night?"
Now that Qin Wan came, Yan Chi naturally brought her back, Qin Wan said as he walked, "I'm sick, Mother Chen sent someone to look for me early this morning, please rest assured, I'll go and see However, there is no serious problem, it’s just that I was so angry that I suddenly aroused the pulse of my earlier illness.”
Yan Chi frowned suddenly, "Anxious?"
Qin Wan nodded, and waited until He Yan arrived at the waterside pavilion before saying, "I came to you for this matter. Mother Chen said that the queen mother invited the emperor to Shoukang Palace last night, and then the two had a dispute, and then the emperor waved his sleeves." And go, the empress dowager fell ill."
"Is it for the prince's business?" Yan Chi frowned.
The biggest movement in the court today is the matter of the ministers inviting the prince to be abolished. The queen mother usually does not take the initiative to invite the emperor to come to Shoukang Palace. Now that she has invited the emperor, there must be a lot of reasons. Moved the mind of the abolished prince?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, you know the queen mother, she always defended the prince, but now the emperor insists on abolishing the prince, which is naturally a big blow to her, the emperor should be very determined, so I will be with the queen mother Parted unhappy."
Yan Chi's phoenix eyes narrowed, "The emperor must not have abolished the crown prince because of Zhang Qide's incident this time. First, he grounded the queen, then asked Yu Wenxian to find Zhang Qide's head in Shuoxi, and then Zhang Qide was imprisoned. This series of incidents must be It was planned long ago, every move of the emperor's chess is very good."
This is why Qin Wan came to look for Yan Chi. Qin Wan said, "The emperor has long wanted to abolish the crown prince. It doesn't make sense at all. If the emperor is not satisfied with the crown prince, why should the crown prince be established? Once established and abolished, the whole court will be destroyed." How many waves will be born in the world... "
Yan Chi frowned for a moment, then suddenly said, "The crown prince and King Cheng started a fight, and people from the crown prince's line also surfaced, not to mention that Yan Che had no choice when he was appointed at the age of last year. In the army, there were civil and military officials all over the court, Yan Che had a high reputation at that time, and the empress had a very thorough plan."
Qin Wan heard the coolness whizzing up his spine, "First, the registration was established along the way, and then took the opportunity to eliminate the power of the prince's line?"
Yan Chi frowned, his eyes were deep, "It is indeed possible."
But if this is the case, why was the emperor dissatisfied with the prince before that? He didn't intend to let the prince sit on the throne at all, but why
Yan Chi was very puzzled, and Qin Wan also felt very baffled, Yan Che is a legitimate son, at least he is more suitable to be emperor than Yan Qi, so it is possible that the emperor wants to abolish Yan Che and make Yan Qi a successor? Qin Wan shook his head, subconsciously thinking it was impossible, but if Yan Huai was not satisfied with Yan Che, who was he satisfied with? Concubine Wan's eighth prince? The unremarkable sixth prince whose biological mother died young? It is impossible for Yan Sui to...
Yan Chi and Qin Wan looked at each other with deep doubts in their eyes.
There were more and more doubts accumulated in the hearts of the two of them, and there were also many strange inferences, but there was no evidence at the moment, and Qin Wan and Yan Chi had no way to determine whether they were right or wrong. Chi Ye went to the Shoukang Palace, and when he arrived at the Shoukang Palace, he saw that Yan Li had already entered the palace.
The Empress Dowager was lying on the bed with her clothes together, leaning against a big pillow behind her, and Yan Li was sitting beside her, talking softly to the Empress Dowager.
As soon as the outsiders reported, Yan Li immediately stood up, "Seventh Brother—"
Yan Chi stepped forward to salute, seeing the empress dowager's pale complexion, her heart sank, "Why is the imperial grandmother suddenly ill?"
The queen mother smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was sick earlier, and the weather is cold these days, and I'm going to collapse again. Guan'er has already visited me, so you don't have to worry."
Yan Chi nodded, and Yan Li said from the side, "Grandmother must be lazy these days, and when winter comes, she won't be afraid of the cold."
The Queen Mother scolded, "You would say, why don't you come take a walk with me?"
Yan Li rubbed his head, "Yes, yes, it's all grandson's fault."
Yan Li was joking around with the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother was smiling, but Yan Chi could tell that the smile on the Queen Mother's face didn't reach his eyes.
The Empress Dowager was quite a little mentally ill, and the two stayed with her for a while before taking their leave.
The two brothers came out side by side, and Yan Li sighed, "The imperial grandmother's health is getting worse and worse. It's really worrying. They say that winter is the worst for the elderly. I don't know what Qin Wan will say after reading it." Yes, serious or not."
Yan Chi narrowed his eyes, "Imperial Grandmother has a knot in her heart, and her illness can be cured not only with medicine."
Yan Li was silent, but he didn't answer, Yan Chi felt that something was wrong, and turned his eyes, "You also know?"
Yan Li smiled wryly, "What did Brother Seven say?"
Yan Chi took a deep look at Yan Li for a moment, then simply said, "The emperor's grandmother had a dispute with the emperor over the matter of the crown prince, and then fell ill." After a pause, Yan Chi explained, "I have already seen It's too close."
Yan Li understood, and then sighed, "If this is the case, then we won't be able to help you at all. How can we guess what the emperor is thinking?"
Yan Chi said, "It's strange that the emperor is dissatisfied with the prince."
Yan Li rolled his eyes when he heard the words, "It's strange... Really... After all, the crown prince has already been registered, and it has only been registered for a year... Sigh, it's a pity that I don't understand court affairs, so I can't see it clearly. Because Zhang Qide's matter has already caused people to panic, it seems that the government and the public respected the crown prince very much before, but now, they wish they had never known the crown prince before, it really is the same everywhere."
Yan Li lived under the shadow of Prince Gong's rebellion since he was a child, so he understands these things more than ordinary people. Hearing what he said, Yan Chi couldn't help but raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder. Yan Li shrugged and smiled, "It's nothing, I've seen it for a long time, as for the prince... Maybe it's also fate... "
Yan Li's tone was unusually heavy, Yan Chi turned to look at him, "What do you mean?"
Yan Li smiled, "Seventh brother, do you believe in fate? I feel... don't talk about others, just talk about me... Maybe I was born with this fate, I see it through, so I don't ask for anything, anyway, I can't ask for it Come on, maybe the prince...does he really not have the life of the emperor?"
Hearing this, Yan Chi pulled the corner of his lips and smiled.
Although Yan Chi didn't mean to be mocking, his smile really didn't take it seriously.
Yan Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Seventh Brother thinks what I said is wrong?"
Yan Chi said, "Then do you think there is a destiny for a person's life and death?"
Yan Li thought for a while, then nodded hesitantly, "Yes... maybe everything was predestined."
Yan Chi shook his head, "On the battlefield, if my sword is slower, the person who dies is me. If my sword is faster, the person who dies is someone else. There is no life or death. Every time I come to life, it is Only those who are defeated will say that everything is destined by God."
Yan Li smiled wryly, "I'm really different from Seventh Brother..."
Yan Chi didn't mean to poke Yan Li's sore spot, "You know what Brother Seven means, you haven't thought about what you want, or thought about it and then forget it. When you have this thought one day, you won't believe in fate, and you will not believe in everything. You have to fight for yourself.”
Listening to these words, Yan Li was thoughtful, and he didn't say much all the way. After leaving the palace gate, Yan Li returned to the mansion, and Yan Chi went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.
On the second day, Qin Wan entered the palace again. After giving the empress dowager the injection, she found that the empress dowager's condition still hadn't improved. Qin Wan felt a little uneasy.
However, the Empress Dowager's body was still a bit weak, Qin Wan didn't dare to continue to give acupuncture rashly, so she could only change the prescription for the Empress Dowager, and stayed with the Empress Dowager for half a day, Qin Wan just left, and tomorrow she was going to set up a tomb for her parents outside the city Of course, they cannot enter the palace. It may be late when they return to Beijing. Qin Wan carefully told Mother Chen that she would have a good night's sleep after returning to the mansion. Early the next morning, Qin Wan only took Bai Ying to the palace alone. Go to the gate of the city.
Qin Wan and Sun Muqing also met outside the city. When Qin Wan arrived, Sun Muqing hadn't come yet, but Yan Chi had already arrived.
Although it was still early, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and even though it was early morning, there was a strong wind howling. Yan Chi got into Qin Wan's carriage and said, "I'm afraid it will snow today."
It's really cold today, Yan Chi asked someone to send a small heater up to make it better, the two of them waited for a while in the same car, and after a while, Sun Muqing came alone wearing a cloak and riding a horse, except him on the horse's back There was also a big package outside, which was naturally something that was going to be buried. Sun Muqing thought Qin Wan was the only one, but she didn't expect that it was Yan Chi who got out of the carriage first, and then watched Yan Chi lift the curtain of the carriage, and then Qin Wan got off the carriage.
Sun Muqing was taken aback, and hurriedly saluted, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Rui, and the princess..."
Yan Chi's words were gentle, "There's no need to be too polite."
Qin Wan smiled and said, "Don't be offended by Miracle Doctor Sun, Your Highness will accompany us today."
Sun Muqing looked at Qin Wan, then at Yan Chi, and smiled, "It's not strange, it's just that I didn't expect... Hehe, let's go... With His Royal Highness accompanying us, we must be safe and sound today... Here are the requirements I prepared I was afraid of leaking the buried things, so I didn’t bring anyone over.”
Qin Wan did not explain these things, but Sun Muqing herself knew it. Qin Wan used the carriage, Yan Chi and others rode on horseback, all the way to the tea mountain south of Qiwu Mountain. Qin Wan had already explained to Han Bo, so Han Dong went out of the city yesterday to wait. After walking for more than an hour, a group of people just arrived at the foot of the tea mountain. From a distance, they saw Han Dong waiting alone by the roadside. When the carriage stopped, Han Dong immediately greeted him. come up.
After paying their respects one by one, Han Dong said appropriately, "There are only two craftsmen, and we are having tea at the tea farmer's house halfway up the mountain. The young lady will take everyone up first, and enshrine the things to be buried. so as not to arouse suspicion."
Han Bo recognized Sun Muqing, but Han Dong didn't. Even Yan Chi, Han Dong didn't recognize him. However, seeing Yan Chi's extraordinary aura and caring for Qin Wan, both in his eyes and in his demeanor, Han Dong was immediately astonished. After guessing Yan Chi's identity, he became even more respectful.
A group of people walked up the tea mountain path, and after walking for two sticks of incense, they saw a brand new tomb.
The tea fields have been opened up, and two very neat and imposing tombs stand quietly. The tombs are not yet closed, and the tombstones are blank. Compared with ordinary people's tombs, today's scene is somewhat strange, but Sun Muqing saw But very satisfied.
"Thank you so much, princess. After such a big setback, this place looks like a geomantic treasure, and this tomb material..."
Sun Muqing was burdened and began to thank him as soon as she came up, which Qin Wan felt very uncomfortable.
Yan Chi glanced at Qin Wan and said in a low voice, "Young Master Sun, thank you in no hurry, and tidy up the things that are going to be buried."
When Sun Muqing heard this, she immediately responded, while Han Dong said, "After closing the tomb, we will build the dojo. Miss, how do you arrange it?"
Qin Wan sighed and said, "This ashram..."
This ashram is not easy to set up. This is a tombstone with no words. It is impossible to write the owner’s name on these two tombs. Even the master’s name is not dared to say, so how can we make a dojo? Qin Wan was thinking about how to solve this problem, her eyes flickered, but she saw something in Sun Muqing's package, she stepped forward quickly and said, "What is this?"
