In the palace, Xuan Qiong has been under house arrest for five days.
Concubine Yu was furious.
Five days ago, Yu She entered the palace and did not know what he said to Emperor Chong'an. After he left, Emperor Chong'an immediately uploaded Xuan Qiong and reprimanded everyone. The palace door was closed. Less than half an hour later, Emperor Chong'an ordered Xuan Qiong to be placed under house arrest No one is allowed to visit.
Half of Concubine Yu's three souls and six souls were frightened, and before she had time to communicate with King Yu, Emperor Chong'an issued another decree and recognized Yu She with great fanfare.
Concubine Yu fainted immediately.
These few days, Concubine Yu has lived like a year.
Although the emperor did not put her under house arrest, but he asked the palace servants to pass her a message, and the oral instructions were nice, saying that Xuan Qiong's words were unremarkable. The palace servant who passed the decree said to Concubine Yu again, "Your Majesty asked His Royal Highness to think about it, and when His Highness has figured it out and corrected it, it will be all right. What I'm afraid of at this moment is that there will be troubles. Also, please be patient for one or two, don’t visit, don’t plead for His Highness, it’s best… and don’t ask others to plead for His Highness.”
Concubine Yu was terrified, she knew in her heart that this "other" was afraid that it was Prince Yu.
Concubine Yu had six gods and no masters. I don't know if this was what Emperor Chong'an meant. She was busy ordering people to give the palace servants a silver note, but the palace servants calmly accepted it, and said in a softer voice, "Niangniang, the Holy Highness has only placed His Highness under house arrest now, Some people are not reconciled and are thinking of other ways."
Concubine Yu lost her voice: "Is house arrest not enough? What else?"
The palace servant shook his head: "Then I don't know, but since the emperor does not allow the empress to visit and plead for mercy, it can't be used, right? I also ask the empress to endure for a while, maybe people have now got what they want and are willing to let others go. Woolen cloth?"
Concubine Yu's face changed angrily, "Yu, pardon."
The palace man withdrew.
Concubine Yu was restless, Yu She has now been recognized by Emperor Chong'an, and he will be crowned king at another day. He has come this far, will he let Xuan Qiong go
impossible.
Concubine Yu wanted to pretend to be sick and spread Yu Mucheng into the palace, but when she thought of the words of the palace people just now, she was afraid of getting burned, so she did not dare to offend Emperor Chong'an.
She herself never had any ideas, and after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't come up with a good solution. After a while, she suddenly said, "By the way, go..."
Concubine Yu's voice trembled, "Go and call Tang Qin!"
But after a few months, Tang Qin was much older.
Concubine Yu said impatiently, "Big brother, what did someone tell you? Is he avoiding suspicion now? Dare to enter the palace?"
Tang Qin just got Yu She's advice, and now it seems like he has eaten a fly.
Tang Qin didn't want to do things for Yu She, but Yu She handed him the hilt of the old case.
He had wanted this knife for a long time, but when he thought of Yu She's intention, he couldn't help but stop his heart.
Tang Qin's eyes were cloudy, thinking of his own younger brother, who was trapped in Yu She's hands, who didn't know his life or death, sighed, and his voice was hoarse, "Back to the maiden, the lord has not passed the news to the servant."
Concubine Yu's eyes were full of resentment, "Is he also thinking of getting rid of the relationship?!"
Tang Qin spoke very slowly, "Niang Niang, the emperor has already recognized Yu Xiaowang, the overall situation will be settled, everyone wants to protect themselves at the moment, besides... I'm afraid it's useless to ask for mercy, Princess An Guo didn't come to the palace before. Are you asking for mercy? The emperor has always respected the eldest princess, but this time she didn't even see her, which made the eldest princess lose a lot of face, and the lord would be afraid to come."
"This couple..." Concubine Yu gritted her teeth angrily, "I'm afraid they want to temporarily change the helm, right? Yes, Yu She was raised by them after all, even if their relationship has been lost, they may not bear the notoriety of being unfilial in the future. Dispose of them, but what about me and Xuan Qiong?"
Tang Qin listened quietly and said in a low voice, "The maiden can only save herself now."
Concubine Yu said uneasy: "What can I do?!"
Tang Qin said slowly, "The emperor's decree said that Prince Yu was born to a woman from a good family in the palace of the emperor and the princess."
Concubine Yu frowned, "You mean..."
Tang Qin said: "This is a piece of the emperor's heart. As long as the old things are thrown out, the sage will definitely try to cover it up. Mother and son are one. If you want to suppress the matter of Concubine Zhong, you have to suppress the matter of lifting up the little prince Yu. ... It depends on how the sage weighs it, if the sage wants to face, he has to aggrieve the little prince Yu."
Concubine Yu was frightened, "But what if the emperor is trying to be shameless and wants to appoint Concubine Zhong's son?"
Tang Qin paused and said, "Then we can only see the tricks, and then the empress can make a fuss about Yu Xiaowang's life experience. Concubine Zhong is the concubine of the late emperor, the son from her belly, the biological father. Who is... how can I tell?"
"Yes, if the emperor insists on appointing him, he can still make a fuss about his life, but..." Concubine Yu has no masters, "I can't stand out, who can stab this matter out?"
Tang Qin said in a low voice, "The old slave still has contact with several of King Yu's cronies in his early years, so I can ask them to help."
Concubine Yu hurriedly shook her head: "No, if the emperor finds out, wouldn't the eldest brother be involved?"
Tang Qin sighed: "Niangniang, the prince seems to want to protect himself or to stand on Yu Xiaowang's side? If you don't pull him now, how long will you wait?"
Concubine Yu was stunned for a while, then she said, "Yes, he doesn't want to help me, so I have to force him to help me... It's not enough, you speak out in the palace for me, aren't they trying to hide... me Just want everyone to know.”
A very unbearable royal secret, and it was fried inside and outside the palace at the same time.
Emperor Chong'an, who had not appeared at the court meeting for many days, was going to court today, but he was temporarily exempted from the early court after hearing the news.
It was a coincidence that Yu She missed today's court meeting. The courtiers acquiesced that Yu She was avoiding suspicion, but believed the rumor that his biological mother was Concubine Zhong.
After the court meeting, the clan and the censors attacked together. Among them, there were those who Shi Jin left to Zhong Wan, those who were arranged by Yu She, and many who had entangled interests with Xuanjing and Xuanqiong. Everyone seemed to have agreed. In general, the book was sent to the cabinet like a snowflake, and the content was similar, and they were all questioning Yu She's origin.
There are many people who speak out, but there is no henchman from the Yu Wangfu faction.
Emperor Chong'an looked at Shan Gao's bookcase with gloomy eyes, "King Yu's people didn't follow suit this time."
The school eunuch who served the pen and ink to Emperor Chong'an said softly, "Your Highness is loyal and sensible, so naturally he won't listen to the wind or the rain."
"But why... I asked someone to investigate, and it seems that the news came from Prince Yu's Mansion?" Emperor Chong'an's face turned blue, "A few days ago, Qiong'er was ignorant and went to track down the old things. I asked him if he was listening. What did his uncle say, Qiong'er was bitten to death, huh."
Emperor Chong'an said in a low voice, "Qian'er would rather be placed under house arrest than to confess to his uncle. This is to think that his uncle is more important than his father..."
The murderous intent flashed in Emperor Chong'an's eyes, and the eunuch was silent and did not dare to answer.
Emperor Chong'an asked, "Is there anything else happening over Prince Yu's side?"
The eunuch of the school book shook his head, "After the early court, Prince Yu himself did not enter the palace, but asked the palace staff to greet the concubine Yu, in a hurry, asked the goddess to urge the fifth highness to think about her past, and advised the goddess to close the door and self-examination, absolutely must not Listen to the rumours."
The eunuch said softly, "There's a little panic over there in Prince Yu's mansion, it seems... that they really don't know about it."
"In this case, I don't believe it anymore." Emperor Chong'an sneered when he heard the words. "It's fine for the imperial family to ask questions about the family. What are these people and courtiers doing? Who can believe that no one is behind the scenes?"
Emperor Chong'an folded the book in his hand and threw it on the ground, "It's nonsense, there's nothing to say."
The school book eunuch picked up the bookfold on the ground and asked softly, "Aren't you going to approve?"
"No." Emperor Chong'an said tiredly, "Tell the cabinet ministers that you won't approve it, and let them find out who is making waves and spreading rumors."
The eunuch agreed, and Emperor Chong'an raised his head, "Where's Ziyou? Didn't he enter the palace today?"
The eunuch shook his head, "I was ill, I asked about it, said yes, said yes..."
Emperor Chong'an frowned, "Could it be that he knew in advance that someone was in trouble?"
"No no." The eunuch said hurriedly, "It was said that the young master Zhong from the mansion had some minor illnesses, and little prince Yu was... stumped."
Emperor Chong'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Ziyou."
The eunuch pondered Emperor Chong'an's thoughts and whispered: "Yu Xiaowang seems to have spent too much time on that Zhong Young Master these days. Is the emperor..."
Emperor Chong'an pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Forget it, let him make trouble, a man, what tricks can he make? I don't want to be this villain."
The eunuch lowered his voice: "But Master Zhong... After all, it's the Zhong family."
The smile on Emperor Chong'an's face faded, "It is because he is from the Zhong family that I tolerate him."
The eunuch frowned, and suddenly realized, "Yes, the more Prince Yu cared about Young Master Zhong, the more he wanted to hide what happened in the past for the sage! Otherwise, if Young Master Zhong knew why the Zhong family was destroyed, he would have to sever his favor..."
Emperor Chong'an frowned, and the eunuch kept silent.
After a while, the eunuch said softly: "Your Majesty Shengming, the servants were curious about how the emperor condoned this matter. Now, it's very good to restrain Yu Xiaowang like this."
"This child, Ziyou, is easy to ignore when his temper comes up." Emperor Chong'an sighed, "It's also a bad fate."
"I've been wronged by what happened recently." Emperor Chong'an rubbed his forehead, "Go... reward him with something, and tell him by the way that he has nothing to do in the palace to greet him. The more rumors there are outside, the more he should not care. Otherwise, you are not guilty? Also."
"Ask, if Zhong Wan is in good health, let him come too. The last time I told him to enter the palace, Ziyou stopped him. Now let them come together, shouldn't he stop him? I'm afraid he doesn't have the intention... "
Emperor Chong'an frowned, "Isn't Ziyou so upset when such words come out?"
Yu She was really upset in the other courtyard of Prince Yu's Mansion.
Zhong Wan has been miserable since early in the morning.
"If I were a woman, do you know what this would have become?" Zhong Wan was full of bitterness, "You are like giving me a pot of safflower! Let me never get pregnant again, what is your heart? So poisonous?"
Yu She spoke kindly, "I'm here for your own good..."
Zhong Wan collapsed: "For my own good, you castrated me?"
Yu She was helpless, "Where did you castrate you? It's just a little medicine to cleanse the heart..."
"Then why do I have to take this pure medicine?" The more Zhong Wan thought about it, the more frightened he became, "Ziyou, sometimes I really don't understand, why are you so tormented? It's only the two of us in this mansion, yet you can actually spend your life together. It's more complicated than the harem, isn't this thing really what concubine gave to other concubines in order to compete for favor?"
Yu She didn't know why: "What are you talking about? What concubine?"
Zhong Wan was incomprehensible, "Or do you think I'm too idle? You're afraid I'll be bored in recuperating, and there's no concubine in the house, so you'll fight me yourself?"
Yu She was completely stunned, and hurriedly explained, "I just want you to calm down..."
"Why should I be calm?" Zhong Wan looked at Yu She vigilantly, "I'm worried now that you shaved my head while I was sleeping one night and forced me to become a monk."
"Why should I shave your head properly?" Yu She patiently said, "There is a big movement in the court today, we have been planning for a long time, and it will be a riot today, I still want to go to the palace, please drink the medicine obediently. I'm leaving."
Zhong Wan shrank aside, "I don't."
Yu She frowned, "You..."
Zhong Wan cautiously said, "Will you let someone pry my mouth open and feed me?"
Zhong Wan was hopeful, "Or you feed me mouth to mouth?"
Yu She thought about it, but was afraid that Zhong Wan would catch fire in a while, so he had to say, "Forget it, don't drink if you don't drink, I'll go first, you can rest well."
Zhong Wan lay back on the bed without knowing why, and the more he thought about it, the more inexplicable Yu She felt. After a while, Butler Feng came over with a scroll of paintings.
Zhong Wan got up, "What's wrong?"
Butler Feng said hurriedly: "Before the prince left, he went to the study room to write for the young master, and let the young master hang it by the bedside and read it every day."
Zhong Wan smiled, this madman finally knew that he was sorry for himself, and also knew that he had written love poems for himself to make him happy
but…
Zhong Wan frowned slightly at the picture scroll in Butler Feng's arms. It was enough to write a letter. How could it be so big
Before Zhong Wan could take it, Butler Feng unfolded a huge scroll with a clatter. On the scroll, Yu She's writing was vigorous, and six large characters were written with dragon flying and phoenix dancing.
"Preserve the principles of heaven and destroy human desires."
Zhong Wan: "…"
Chapter 82 The disheartened heart in the chest that was blown by the night wind was instantly warmed.
Emperor Chong'an was suspicious of Yu Mucheng, and while suppressing the rumors, he ordered people to investigate secretly.
The more suspicious Emperor Chong'an became, the less he would be held accountable in person. Yu Mucheng couldn't even open his mouth to defend himself.
Naturally, Yu Mucheng would not wait to die. He initially suspected that Yu She wanted all the jade and stones to be burnt. After two days of investigation, he found something tricky in the residence of Princess Anguo. Came out of Yu Fei's palace.
Yu Mucheng immediately wanted to kill Concubine Yu.
"The emperor didn't really believe Yu She at all, and he was still hesitating in his heart to keep the Fifth Highness!"
In Concubine Yu's Palace, Yu Mucheng tried his best to suppress his temper, his voice trembling, "The outcome is uncertain, everything has a chance, what are you going to do? What are you anxious about?!"
Rumors abounded in the palace, Emperor Chong'an postponed the matter of conferring Yu She the king on the excuse that he hadn't chosen an auspicious day. Concubine Yu thought it was her own credit, and her waist was a lot stiffer. She also blamed Yu Mucheng and felt that His eldest brother's position was erratic. Hearing the words, he said coldly, "What am I worried about? Now I'm afraid that I'm the only one who will worry about Qiong'er
Yu Mucheng laughed, "Are you helping the Fifth Highness?"
"Isn't it?" Concubine Yu sneered, "If the emperor has the ability, he will continue to praise that wild bastard! If the emperor dares to give him the title of king, I will dare to continue making trouble. The rumors will only get worse and worse, but I want to know, the emperor listens too much. Rumors, would you like to take another look at that wild species."
"Do you think you're trying to make the emperor and Yu She separate?" Yu Mucheng couldn't believe it, "You're driving them to a boat! Why don't you understand until now, even if you want to expose what happened back then, it shouldn't be. It's like this! What do you mean by holding on to the identity of Yu She's biological mother? Even if everyone else believes it, his biological mother is indeed the little Concubine Zhong from the previous dynasty, so what? Isn't he still the emperor's son? Who are you? Are you pouring dirty water on Yu She or the emperor?!"
Concubine Yu was stunned for a moment, and stubbornly said, "What's the difference?! His background is not clean, isn't it a stain on his body?"
Yu Mucheng fell into the chair angrily. He was already arranging the old palace people who served Xiao Zhongfei to come to Beijing, just to wait and see. He has been with Emperor Chong'an for decades, and he understands that person's mind better than anyone else. He knows that he hasn't made up his mind yet. He just wants to keep this trump card. He came out, and then pointed the finger at Yu She's biological father, making the clan and courtiers suspect that Yu She was the son of Concubine Zhong and others who had fornicated, using the people of the old palace as a sword, and the rumors of killing hearts as a blade, and he was hit with a single blow. , Killing Yu She was unexpected.
But now... Yu Mucheng looked at Concubine Yu in dismay. He had forged a knife that had only been inserted into Yu She's heart for many years, but Concubine Yu snatched it away early and slashed it on Yu She's hand, which didn't hurt or itch.
Yu Mucheng's self-restraint was pretty good, his internal organs were moved by anger and he didn't speak harshly to Concubine Yu, he supported his heart and said slowly: "I'm not in a hurry, it's not that I'm not worried about the Fifth Highness, nor do I want to turn around and support Yu. She, but it's not time... Do you think Yu She is really standing so steady?"
"He doesn't respect the emperor in his heart. How many days can he pretend to be a dutiful son? Well, let's not talk about whether he can coax the emperor. Isn't he a troublemaker himself?"
"A few years ago, he ate cold food powder and hurt his heart. From time to time, he would fall ill. It's just that he hid himself well. Let's just let him hide! Is this difficult?"
"And the matter of his broken sleeve, the emperor opened one eye and closed the other. Well, you can let it go for a while."
"But what about the fact that he is so old that he still refuses to marry? Last time the emperor wanted to bestow a concubine, and he gave it an untenable excuse. The emperor is already unhappy. Can't he make a fuss about it?"
Yu Mucheng was extremely exhausted, "How many handles does he have, you can't choose which one you want to have an attack, why do you have to move this in advance?"
Concubine Yu's foolishness made people angry, "Big brother said it so clearly, and naturally he knows that his life experience is the most powerful. If I want to destroy him, I will naturally choose the sharpest knife."
Yu Mucheng couldn't wait to yell, you used my knife in advance!
Yu Mucheng suddenly lost his strength and didn't want to say a word to Concubine Yu.
He looked at his stubborn and stupid younger sister, and suddenly he was disheartened and thought, that he was exhausted, and now he is risking the danger of offending Emperor Chong'an and desperately supporting Xuan Qiong. In the future, it will really be smooth, and then what
The younger sister is already suspicious of herself now and refuses to obey her own arrangements. What if she becomes the empress dowager? Concubine Yu is young and will inevitably be involved in politics in the future.
Power is not terrible, it is the most terrible thing when stupid people have power.
Yu Mucheng thought anxiously, what was even more terrifying was that Xuan Qiong and Concubine Yu were similar.
Yu Mucheng couldn't help thinking of Xuan Rui who had been sent out of Beijing by Yu She.
Yu Mucheng originally only used him as a last resort, but just now, Yu Mucheng didn't feel that he was really useful to Xuan Rui.
My own nephew is still here, so that idiot can't be.
But looking at Concubine Yu now, Yu Mucheng suddenly hesitated.
Although Xuan Rui is not close to himself, at least he doesn't have a stupid mother who likes to point fingers.
Yu Mucheng's heart was turned upside down, but his face remained calm, he sighed, "Okay, since you've already taken action, I won't say anything anymore, just one point, I beg you, eldest brother, stop staring at Yu She's biological mother. The emperor is already vigilant and will find you soon, aren't you afraid?"
Concubine Yu's eyes moved, and she looked elsewhere uneasily.
"I tried my best to get the emperor to come to see you today, not because I was arguing with you." Yu Mucheng said earnestly, "You can't sit still, you have to do something, it's okay, you can follow Yu She's other problems. go, okay?"
Yu Fei thought for a moment, then nodded reluctantly, "Got it."
Yu Mucheng leaned on the chair slightly tired and stood up, and left with a wry smile.
Concubine Yu sat by herself for a long time, mulling over what Yu Mucheng had just said, and after a while called her confidant to come over.
"Big brother just said..." Concubine Yu said softly, "The emperor wanted to give Yu She a concubine last time, but he resigned, and he made the emperor unhappy. How did he resign, do you know?"
The confidant said in a low voice.
Concubine Yu said with disgust, "A wild breed is a wild breed. If he hooks up with a man, he doesn't feel disgusting, forget it, and dare to tell the emperor."
Concubine Yu thought for a moment, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, "Big Brother has something to say."
Gong Ren said: "What?"
"Everything shouldn't go against the emperor's thoughts, it will only push the emperor farther and farther." Concubine Yu said softly, "The emperor wants Yu pardon and concubine, doesn't it?"
The palace servant murmured, "Yes."
Concubine Yu said softly, "That's right, it's not only to be in harmony with the emperor's mind, but also to cause trouble for Yu She, what do you think is the best way?"
The palace servant laughed dryly, "Niangniang, even if it is to take a concubine for Prince Yu, that is not something that Niangniang can manage."
Concubine Yu smiled: "Of course I don't want to take care of it, let's go... go and say hello to the queen."
The palace servant still felt that it was not very good, "Niangniang, did you do it on purpose?"
"Don't worry, I won't give it to him in a daze, I'm not stupid." Concubine Yu whispered, "I first ask the queen to give Qiong'er one, and I say that the child is not taken care of now, as for Yu She, that Bian... I asked the queen to send people to the imperial front, and said that I chose two good girls, one for Qiong'er, and one for Yu She along the way."
"The emperor originally wanted to take a concubine for Yu She, and he must be willing." Concubine Yu sneered, "Isn't Yu She unwilling to take a concubine? I have to give him one."
In the other courtyard of Prince Yu's Mansion, the fever had completely subsided, and Zhong Wan, who had almost recovered from his illness, suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Zhong Wan looked at the picture scroll hanging by the bedside, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Since hanging this picture scroll that day, Yu She has not been intimate with him for several days.
Butler Feng was always afraid of Zhong Wan and Yu She arguing, so he would come to talk when he had nothing to do, "I really don't blame the prince, it's the imperial doctor who said you are not healthy."
Zhong Wan raised his forehead hair, looked at the bronze mirror to see the wound on his forehead that wasn't healed, and sighed, "Okay, I don't blame him, you really don't have to tell me that I can't do it several times a day, you don't want to be a man. listen to this..."
Butler Feng laughed dryly: "Isn't this afraid that the young master will misunderstand the prince's intentions? The young master does not know, the prince has been so busy these days, and he does not forget to call the imperial doctor every day when he returns to the residence. First, I will ask you what medicine you have taken this day. Is it better... it hurts you so much."
Zhong Wan licked his lips and chuckled, "Okay, then I will hurt him too."
At the same moment, in the cabinet, Yu She followed the news, sneered, and said nothing.
The little eunuch who followed Yu She into the palace looked around, did not dare to speak loudly, and lowered his voice: "Sir, the emperor has seen the person selected by the queen, and asked the prince to take it with him when he returns to the palace, what should I do? "
"There's nothing to do." Yu She looked down at the bookcase, "Don't do it."
The little eunuch scolded, "This... why don't you? The emperor has already opened his mouth, so let's go back with our carriage."
Yu She didn't lift her head, "Boom down."
"Boom?" The little eunuch was startled, "How dare the minions dare?"
Yu She didn't care anymore.
The little eunuch was so miserable that he retreated in a dilemma.
Yu She knew clearly in his heart that Emperor Chong'an would not tear his face with him because of such trivial matters.
At most, Emperor Chong'an was unhappy in his heart, and it didn't matter if he beat himself with other things.
As long as you don't take a concubine, you can talk about anything else.
Yu She was very confident until he came out of the cabinet at night and saw from a distance that there were twice as many servants beside his car.
Yu She's face changed instantly.
Emperor Chong'an did not give in this time.
Yu She's eyes were cold, looking at the lantern hanging on his car from a distance, an uncontrollable panic filled his heart.
I insist on this, why can't these people let go
Yu She stood upright in front of the carriage with a terrifying expression on her face.
"Go back to the palace." Yu She said coldly, "Where did you come from, where will I send her back."
Yu She pulled the reins and opened the car curtain...
In the carriage, Zhong Wan was wrapped in a blanket, leaning against the window, and slept soundly.
Yu She was stunned.
Zhong Wan... how did it come
What about the concubine? Did Zhong Wan drive people away
Then he changed his concubine and lay here by himself waiting
Yu She didn't hold back and laughed.
Yu She got into the carriage, looked down at Zhong Wan's sleeping face, and suddenly understood without a teacher what others thought of taking concubines.
If such a concubine, it is acceptable.
Yu She looked at Zhong Wan, the heart that was blown away by the night wind in her chest was instantly warmed.
