Chapter 704: There is no escape
Wang Qi pushed the door and walked in, holding a tray with two small bowls on the tray. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
From afar, Lin Wan smelled a smell of medicine, couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly said, "Xiaoqi, won't I have to drink medicine as soon as I wake up?"
Wang Qi smiled and said, "No, miss." This is millet porridge prepared for you, you have slept for so long, you have to drink some millet porridge first to nourish your stomach, and then drink medicine. ”
When Lin Wan heard that he still had to drink medicine in the end, he couldn't help but sit back on the bed in frustration, and said unhappily: "Xiaoqi, can't you give me a day off?"
Wang Qi thought about it, nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, miss, I won't drink the medicine this morning, and I will drink it again in the evening, will it?"
Lin Wan was very easily satisfied, nodded happily, and got dressed. With Bing'er's help, get up and go to wash and change clothes, and then eat. She had been hungry for several days, and although Bing'er had fed her some rice cereal halfway, her stomach was still empty, and she felt that she was already hungry.
However, as soon as the millet porridge was in the mouth, Lin Wan frowned, made a bitter face, and said pitifully: "Xiaoqi, there is also a bitter taste in this porridge." ”
Wang Qi smiled and said, "Miss, I only put some stomach-nourishing herbs, I have tasted it, and the taste is good, much stronger than taking medicine, isn't it?"
Lin Wan shook his head helplessly, this is not bad, it is indeed much better than taking medicine. So, I no longer disliked it and ate it in a big gulp.
ate bowl after bowl, and ate the two bowls of porridge prepared by Wang Qi before finally stopping.
Dressed up and ready, Lin Wancai walked out of the room with Bing'er's support.
Ning Wuwu was practicing in the courtyard, and when he saw Lin Wan coming out, he immediately greeted him, and saw that Lin Wan was recovering well, except that he was still a little weak and had a bad face, he was already able to move freely. couldn't help but smile and said, "Wan'er, how is it? After sleeping these days, do you feel better?"
Lin Wan nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Yes, Sister Wuwu, I feel that I have made up for all the sleep I have lacked in the past few months." ”
Ning Wuwu smiled slightly, helped Lin Wan to sit down at the table in the courtyard, and asked with concern, "Wan'er, it's cold, do you want to bring another cloak?"
Lin Wan shook his head and said, "It's not cold, this little wind blows quite comfortably." ”
Ning Wuwu was no longer reluctant, thought about it, smiled faintly, and said in a low voice: "Wan'er, yesterday the emperor had discussed a result with the ministers in the early court, and on the spot, Li Daxue abolished the position of Prince Zhou Tianhong, and the East Palace was temporarily vacant. ”
Lin Wan was overjoyed when she heard this, and blurted out, "Really, what is Zhou Tianhong's reaction?"
Ning Wuwu nodded and said, "The decree has been announced on the spot, and Gonggong Qi also took the guards to take off the plaque on the gate of the Prince's Mansion." Moreover, the emperor has decreed that Zhou Tianhong's feet are forbidden, and all the people in the Great Prince's Mansion are not allowed to enter and leave at will except for daily shopping. What is surprising is that Lan Ziyue voluntarily stayed in the Great Prince's Mansion, even if she didn't get married, she already thought she was Zhou Tianhong's person. ”
Lin Wan didn't expect Lan Ziyue to be able to do this for Zhou Tianhong, so she couldn't help but glance at her again.
Ning Wuwu continued: "Yesterday morning, almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were counting Zhou Tianhong's crimes, and no one helped him speak. The emperor was so angry that he almost demoted him to a concubine, but in the end, it was his younger brother Zhou Tianzheng, the third prince, who took the lead, knelt down with the ministers, and pleaded with the emperor for him, so as to keep his status as a prince. ”
Lin Wan sighed lightly and said, "This is the wall falling down and everyone pushing it!"
Ning Wuwu nodded, and said with a straight face: "Zhou Tianhong knew that the general trend had gone, and he didn't argue too much, he just said that he was not strict under his rule, and the leaders of the guards and strategists under his command made their own decisions and committed these heinous crimes behind his back. He said that he did not know about it before, and he only learned about it after the attack on the Seventh Prince. originally wanted to tie up the two and go to the yamen of the criminal department to surrender, but the strategist and the head of the guards suddenly committed suicide last night, so he had to carry their bodies to the palace to ask the emperor for their guilt. ”
Lin Wan couldn't help frowning, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that Zhou Tianhong has been prepared for a long time, could it be that he already knows that he is in a catastrophe, so he has to sacrifice his own guard leader and a strategist?"
Ning Wuwu nodded in agreement, and said: "Yes, Zhou Tianhong was in the morning court yesterday, and he was very calm from the beginning, no matter which minister impeached him, he didn't say anything to refute it, only said, 'The ministers don't know'." ”
Lin Wan shook his head helplessly, and said hatefully: "Zhou Tianhong is really a little fox, I prepared so many charges for him, and he was sent away with a sentence of 'the son doesn't know'." ”
Ning Wuwu continued: "Yesterday, the court was really lively, except for the case of the loss of Fengming City's military salaries and rations, as well as the attack on the Seven Princes. Even the second prince Zhou Tianming went to the court to sue Zhou Tianhong for colluding with Concubine Yu and framing him. But the concubine is dead, and there is no proof that she is dead. The imperial historians also took out the case of the Furuntang fire a few months ago as an article, impeaching Zhou Tianhong for taking advantage of it. and Zhou Tianhong and Lan Ziyue have not yet married, they have already lived together, and they are too close to Nanyue Kingdom, so they have also been brought up. ”
Lin Wan laughed out loud and said, "Those imperial histories also saved some face for Prime Minister Liu Cheng, and they didn't discuss the tryst between Zhou Tianhong and Liu Fangyao in Lingshan Temple in front of the public. ”
Ning Wuwu hooked his lips and smiled, nodded and said: "Wan'er, such a result is also expected, the emperor only plans to abolish the crown prince, and does not want to really give up this son." Even if the evidence of the crime is really conclusive, those ministers will kneel down and plead according to the emperor's wishes, so that the emperor can open up the Internet. If it doesn't work, there will be the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother in the end, how can they really sit idly by and ignore Zhou Tianhong's affairs?"
Lin Wan nodded, wrinkled his eyebrows and said: "In the future, we have to be more careful, although Zhou Tianhong's position as the crown prince has been abolished, his power should not be underestimated." Perhaps, today's events are exactly what he voluntarily took a step back. ”
Ning Wuwu asked suspiciously: "You mean, Zhou Tianhong voluntarily gave up the position of the crown prince? Why?"
Lin Wan smiled helplessly and said: "Now that the emperor has become suspicious of Zhou Tianhong, he deliberately supports the third prince, the fourth prince, the sixth prince and the seventh prince to compete with him, and Zhou Tianhong certainly knows it. Especially the third prince, with whom he is the brother of the same mother, now even the queen mother and queen, and even the Lu family have favored the three princes. He occupies the position of the crown prince and becomes the target of public criticism, but in the end, he may have to make wedding clothes for others. Zhou Tianhong is a smart person, of course he would not do such a thankless job. ”
