"A big change in temperament..."
Zhong Wan repeated it softly, frowning slightly.
It's not like he would do it to ask to marry a nine-year-old princess.
Lin Si thought that Zhong Wan had heard it, and began to talk about other things.
In another hour, he was about to enter the city, and Lin Si had to leave soon. Zhong Wan didn't dare to waste time, suppressed his doubts, and listened to Lin Si "speak".
Lin Si wrote: At the beginning of the year, the third prince fell ill again and almost died. The third prince has been in poor health since he was a child. This year, there are four or four in his thirties, and he has no children. But... I'm afraid it won't last a few years.
Zhong Wan frowned, the third prince was also gone.
Speaking of which, the emperor is also unlucky. The first two princes died prematurely, the eldest prince was not at the age of twelve, the second prince was not at the age of three, and there were still two princesses in the middle. Finally, the third prince was born, and he was weak and sick. Then Carefully raise it up to now, if you say no, it will be gone.
This year is almost sixty this year. There are only three princes left, and half of the prince's grandson. Apart from the third prince, there are only the 22-year-old fourth prince Xuan Jing and the 20-year-old fifth prince Xuan Qiong. son.
Lin Si hesitated for a moment, did not write, and slowly signed the language: In the early years, a physicist said that the arrival of the throne today is not clear, not an order from heaven. Therefore, most of the emperor's children will not survive.
Zhong Wan said indifferently, "How many have survived? There are only two adult and healthy princes. That's enough."
Lin Si frowned.
"I understand what you mean." Zhong Wan smiled, "The emperor's descendants died one after another. You are worried that he will not be very happy when he sees Xuan Rui and Xuanyu, and think of something else. The emperor suddenly let us go to Beijing this year, 80% of which is also because of this. "
Lin Si nodded.
Zhong Wan reassured him and said: "So before I came, I told Xuan Rui about these things, and I was so frightened that he couldn't eat for a few days and couldn't sleep. He was very worried along the way. Godless, his complexion is very wilted, and when the emperor sees his appearance, he can definitely rest assured."
Lin Si couldn't help but laugh.
"So this trip has to come." Zhong Wan said indifferently, "It's useless no matter how we avoid it. He has to see it himself before he can believe it, and then he is willing to let them both go."
Lin Si was a little relieved.
Lin Si asked about Zhong Wan's health again. When the two separated, Zhong Wan was ill and couldn't get out of bed, and Lin Si was always worried.
Lin Si touched Zhong Wan's pulse and made a gesture: I heard Uncle Yan say that you have suffered from the root cause of your illness since then, and every time the weather is cold, you are bound to get sick. Now it's winter, you...
"Small problem, it's almost healed." Zhong Wan waved his hand, not thinking about himself, "You just said..."
Lin Si waited quietly.
"You said..." Zhong Wan pursed his lips, "you said he... his temperament has changed..."
After a circle, he returned to Yu She.
Zhong Wan had known Yu She since he was thirteen years old. He was a classmate for three years, and then spent half a year with him day and night. He knew him well, and he couldn't imagine what this person could become.
Lin Si knew that Zhong Wan would not believe it, so he took the paper again and wrote like flying: In the first year of your stay, King Ning will finish his work, and the rooms in Beijing will be safe. After a year, it was very good, Yu Xiaowang suddenly asked the sage for an decree, asking the emperor to take his position as the heir.
Zhong Wan was dumbfounded and said for a long time, "Why... why?"
Because Princess Anguo could no longer conceive after giving birth to Yu She, the emperor took pity on Prince Yu's poor interest and gave him a few concubines. Prince Yu has two concubines. If Yu She loses the position of the prince, the concubine will take over. .
Lin Si shook his head: I don't know.
Zhong Wan laughed dryly: "Let's not say whether the emperor will beat him to death, what about the princess? Didn't he get mad at him? How did he teach him a lesson?"
Lin Si wrote: I don't know what the princess said. The emperor was so angry that he placed Prince Yu under house arrest in the palace, and it took him two months to release him.
Zhong Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He grew up in the palace, what kind of house arrest is this."
Lin Si continued: After this incident, Prince Yu invited himself to go to Northern Xinjiang.
Zhong Wan: "…"
Zhong Wan was amazed: "Amazing, are you going to rebel for his father?"
When the first emperor founded the country, he had six kings with different surnames, but only the Yu Wangfu remained. The Yu family not only survived, but also flourished in the court. He is well versed in the way of rulers and ministers, and has always avoided suspicion in the military, but he did not want to be broken by Yu She.
Lin Si: Prince Yu brought Wang Yin into the palace that day, and knelt outside the hall for an hour. No one could persuade him. In the end, the emperor himself came to help him up.
Zhong Wan murmured: "Offend the princess first, and then touch Prince Yu's iniquity. Does he think he has a long life..."
Lin Si continued: It's too long.
Zhong Wan smiled helplessly.
Lin Si continued: After a year, Princess Anguo accidentally discovered that Prince Yu was taking Hanshi Powder...
"What?!" The smile on Zhong Wan's face disappeared, "What does he eat?"
Lin Si drew a circle on the three words "Han Shi San".
"He..." Zhong Wan gritted his teeth, "Why didn't he just eat arsenic? What happened after that?"
Lin Si wrote: The princess was furious and locked up the little prince Yu for half a year. The prince asked the emperor to clean up all the pharmacies in Beijing and all the Taoist temples in the suburbs of Beijing. He killed a lot of people who secretly sold it. The drug's traitor, it was not until half a year later that Young Prince Yu recovered, that Prince Yu gave up his hand.
Lin thought for a while and continued to write: Another year has passed, Prince Yu...
…
Couldn't finish writing it for a while.
Zhong Wan watched quietly, frowning more and more tightly.
Just now, he was still wondering why Yu She would ask for the marriage of the nine-year-old Princess Huiyang, and now it really doesn't seem out of line for him.
"He..." Zhong Wan murmured, "What happened to him all these years? What's wrong with him, he wants to die like this?"
Yu She was the only son of the eldest princess of Anguo, who was born in the year when the late emperor passed away. Back then, when the eldest princess of Anguo passed through a national mourning during her pregnancy, she was so overwhelmed with grief that she almost failed to save the child. Later, the princess went to guard the mausoleum for the late emperor. Before returning to Beijing, she was born in Huangling Bie Zhuang. After that, she probably injured her body and never had any more children.
The princess is just such a son, so she is naturally a treasure of love. The Queen Mother and Jinshang also value this child very much. Yu She's name and name are all from Jinshang. Yu She was named Prince Prince when he was one year old, and he was named Prince at the age of two. After entering the palace, eating and living, just like a prince.
Just like the princes, it was different. The princes had to fight for the crown secretly and secretly. As the only heir, Yu She was born as the prince of the prince.
What could he be unhappy about, to abuse himself like this
In Zhong Wan's memory, Yu Ziyou had an excellent temperament.
Compared with others, Yu She is just a little more withdrawn, doesn't like to deal with others, and there always seems to be an undistracted worry between his eyebrows. No, otherwise... Zhong Wan wouldn't be alive until now.
Seeing that Zhong Wan had been in a trance, Lin Si picked up a pen and wrote: "Yu Xiaowang seems to be a different person in recent years. He behaves erratically and has a sinister temperament. He entered the Dali Temple last year. , fell into his hands, and was almost killed by him directly.
Zhong Wan's heart froze.
Lin Si was afraid that Zhong Wan would be worried, and hurriedly added: "Nothing, I informed the fourth prince in advance, and the fourth prince transferred my matter to the Ministry of Punishment. It was a trivial matter, and after a little investigation, I was released.
The fourth prince, Xuanjing, and Lin Si have been hiding in his house for all these years.
Lin Si wrote heavily on the paper: Little Prince Yu, do not miss the old feelings.
Zhong Wan took a deep breath and nodded.
Zhong Wan leaned against the car window and remained silent for a while, still not understanding, and whispered: "5 years ago, why did he..."
Lin Si looked at Zhong Wan suspiciously, but did not understand.
Zhong Wan said slowly, "Four years ago, when Shen Fulin, the governor of Qian'an Prefecture, came to Beijing to report his work, he went to Prince Yu's Mansion to fight the autumn breeze under my banner. He... really helped with the cooking."
Lin thought about this, and wrote: Is it very strange, or Yu Xiaowang was not so crazy at that time
When the paper finally ran out, Lin Si sign language: Speaking of which, this matter confirms the rumors about you and Yu Xiaowang.
Zhong Wan was full of worries and raised his eyes: "Huh?"
Lin Si gestured: It was because of this incident that the people in Beijing believed the rumors about you two, and everyone thought that Prince Yu was really in love with you, so he was the only one who accommodated you.
Zhong Wan was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you say it again?"
Lin Si, this dumb, said that he couldn't say it, so he had to make another gesture: It was because of this incident that the people in Beijing believed the rumors about the two of you. Everyone thought that Prince Yu was really in love with you. Alone for you in every possible way.
Lin Si thought that Zhong Wan couldn't understand which sign language, so he pulled a piece of paper and was about to find a blank space to write it down, but was stopped by Zhong Wan with a smile.
"I taught you all your sign language, can I understand it?" Zhong Wan's eyes narrowed slightly, holding back a smile, "I just want to hear you say it again."
Lin Si didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After thinking about it for a while, she felt uncomfortable again.
Zhong Wan looked as usual.
Lin thought for a while, and then gestured: When the rumors first came out in Beijing, it was really lively for a while. During that time, everyone was talking about this. I heard that after hearing the rumors, Xiaowang Yu was very angry and fell ill. one.
Zhong Wan coughed and took a sip of the tea cup.
Lin Si made another gesture: I heard the fourth prince say that the emperor will rise up one day, and he specifically asked the little prince Yu if this is indeed the case.
Zhong Wan choked.
Lin Si patted Zhong Wan's back and continued: That day, the young prince Yu came out of the palace with a livid face. He returned to the palace without eating or talking. The eldest princess thought that he had contradicted the emperor again. In the evening, I deliberately called him to the princess' mansion to ask questions. I guess that's what I asked. When I came out of the princess' mansion, Yu Xiaowang's face was dark... It was very dark, very dark, and it was scary, thanks to his appearance. Handsome, otherwise too infiltrative.
Zhong Wan endured a stomachache from smiling.
Lin Sidao: Naturally, the emperor and the princess can ask the little prince in person. When others see him like this, they don't dare to mention you in front of him, but later...
Lin Si swallowed and gestured: There are too many rumors and rumors. I don't know if it's too numb to listen to them alive, or because the rumors have become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. pile of things.
Lin thought for a while and said, "I probably heard too much, so I believe it. No one in Beijing dares to openly mention this, but the folk customs in Jiangnan are open. Yu Xiaowang went out for a few years, and listened to the two of you on the Suzhou painting boat for one night, and even gave him a reward when he left.
Zhong Wan's face was horrific, and now he really didn't dare to see Yu She.
