The prince knew that Chen Yu was ambushed by horse thieves, and he was furious, slapped the royal case, and said: "It's just lawless." "Chen Yu has been ambushed and assassinated several times, and he doesn't need to think about it to know who did it here.

Yu Xiang and Uncle Song stood up straight, while the other important ministers all lowered their heads to minimize their sense of existence, hoping not to be noticed by the prince.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the prince became more and more annoyed, but he quickly calmed down and asked, "Uncle, Yu Xiang, I don't know how you think this matter should be handled?" Although he suspected Ji Xuan, there was no evidence.

Uncle Song Guo said unhurriedly: "The governor of the northwest is not a decoration, let Ji Xuan check it out and see who has such courage." ”

Yu Xiang opened his mouth and said, "I think we should send a Qin messenger to investigate this matter thoroughly." Taining Hou Shizi was ambushed several times before he arrived in Lanzhou, but it is conceivable that there must have been officials who colluded with bandits and horse thieves, otherwise how could they have gotten the news and dare to kill Taining Hou Shizi. ”

As soon as these words fell, many officials present hated that there was a hole in the ground, and if they got into the hole, they would not be seen by the prince, and they would not have such an errand.

Before the crown prince could come up with a candidate for the imperial mission, he saw his henchman eunuch running in and said, "Your Highness, the emperor suddenly fell to the ground and did not wake up." "Emperor Guangzong's ascension to the throne depends on the fact that he has a particularly strong mother, Empress Dowager Guo. Empress Dowager Guo is not only beautiful, but also scheming. When Guangzong ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Guo was still alive, and Guangzong was still very diligent at that time. I get up in the morning before dawn every day, and then honestly review the folds, and I rarely even go to the harem. Unfortunately, Empress Dowager Guo passed away in the seventh year of Emperor Guangzong's accession to the throne.

As soon as Empress Dowager Guo died, no one could suppress Emperor Guangzong, and Guangzong's lewd and lustful nature was revealed. Every day is to spend all day and drink and beauties in the arms, as for the government or anything, I don't want to be contaminated at all, all of them are pushed to Yu Xiang and the brother of the favorite concubine Song, that is, the current Uncle Song. This also led Yu Xiang and Uncle Song to control the government and make the prince a puppet.

The prince left what he was doing and hurried to the harem. Now the harem is all the concubines of Guangzong, and in order to avoid suspicion, the prince takes care of government affairs on weekdays in the former dynasty, and returns to the East Palace to rest at night. Unless summoned by his mother, Concubine Song Guifei, he doesn't set foot in the harem on weekdays, for fear of being suspected of being a melon field and a plum.

By the time the prince arrived at the harem, the emperor had already woken up. Imperial Doctor Rong was diagnosing the emperor's pulse, and after half a ring, he said that this Guangzong was an evil wind entering the body, and then prescribed a prescription: "Your Majesty, you must meditate and cultivate your body after taking medicine." If you want to take care of your body, you must do everything, let alone work. ”

The emperor was very uncomfortable this time, and when he heard Imperial Doctor Rong say that it was not a serious illness, he was no longer afraid. However, the prince was more attentive, walked outside and asked, "Imperial Doctor Rong, how is my father's condition?" He always felt that Imperial Doctor Rong had something to say.

With Emperor Guangzong, Imperial Doctor Rong didn't dare to say too directly. And now that he is facing the prince, Imperial Doctor Rong is no longer obscure, and said: "Your Majesty is afraid of the wind, fever, the pulse is subtle, the face is red for Dai Yang, and the evil enters the kidneys and the waist and abdomen are painful...... "Guangzong's disease is actually caused by excessive intercourse." I used to have a good foundation when I was young, so I tossed it. Over the years, the body has long been weak, and the age is old, and the people who are forty yuan and fifty yuan are naturally not good in all aspects of the body. If you can clear your heart and few desires in the future, no longer indulge in beauty and take care of your body, you can live a few more years. But if it continues like this, the gods will be difficult to save.

The prince's face was ugly, this matter was going to be leaked out, and when his father died, he would have to bear a reputation for being lascivious and lascivious.

The news of the emperor's illness was soon known to well-informed people in the capital, but because the emperor was indifferent, it did not cause any turmoil.

Han Jianming and Mr. Zhao said: "The emperor has been indulging in beauty all these years, and his body has long been hollowed out. In the past two years, it was often rumored that the emperor was not in good health, and this time he was in a coma, and he was afraid that his body could not stand it anymore. Emperor, it probably won't be long. ”

Mr. Zhao said: "If the crown prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, the pattern of the DPRK and China may change. "Being a prince and being an emperor are not the same concept at all.

Han Jianming shook his head and said: "The government has been controlled by Yu Xiang and Uncle Song, what can change." However, if the crown prince ascends the throne, I think Yan Wushuang, who has been hiding in the shadows, may show up. "After so many years of investigation, except for confirming that Yan Wushuang is indeed not dead and hiding in the shadows, no other news has been found. Nothing is known where this man is hiding or what he is doing.

Mr. Zhao said: "If it wasn't for the county lord of Heshou last time, the prince would have died. This time, if he wants to make another move, he will definitely look for the most suitable time. ”

Han Jianming thought about it for a long time and said, "This matter will be put aside for the time being, and we will talk about it after the crown prince ascends the throne." "When the time comes, it will depend on the situation, and then decide whether to sue the prince and the news that Yan Wushuang is still alive. What the prince himself has done, it must be very clear. If he knew that Yan Wushuang was still alive, he would definitely take action. At that time, Yan Wushuang couldn't hide it if he wanted to.

Han Gao walked in and said, "Grandpa Guo, Yucheng has sent a letter." In addition to the letter, I also sent a New Year's gift back. However, Yuxi was worried that too many things would attract people's eyes, so he only packed two boxes. In addition to some precious medicinal materials purchased from the West Sea, there are also some specialties from the Northwest. It was also the lack of things, and the people who sent things back dressed up as ordinary people, so they returned to the capital smoothly.

Han Jianming took the letter and said, "Send the things to the old lady's yard." "This is the second time Yuxi has sent things back, and the first time is the jade that was sent.

After reading the letter, Han Jianming's face became ugly. The people who were selected to Yuxi's side that day were considered and considered, and they were afraid that there would be fine work mixed up with Yuxi, but they didn't expect that something went wrong in the end. Fortunately, he didn't do any harm, otherwise all his efforts would have been in vain. However, those who are sent to the northwest must be thoroughly investigated again, and there can be no more mistakes.

When the Qiu clan saw these things sent by Yuxi, he said with a smile: "This girl, what are you doing if you don't keep good things for yourself and send them back to the capital? "As long as you have money in the capital, there is nothing you can't buy. On the contrary, in the remote place of Yucheng, there are many things that money can't buy.

Mother Li said with a smile: "This is also a piece of filial piety of the fourth aunt and grandmother. "Yuxi gives away few things, and no one picks this reason. Thinking of her old lady, she gave a lot of things, but most of them were snatched away. However, Yuxi does not deliver many things, but he has frequent correspondence with the Guogong Mansion, and there is an average of one letter a month.

The Qiu clan just said this, but he was still very happy in his heart: "There should be something for Yuchen here, pick it out and send it to King Jing's mansion." "Regarding Yuxi's closeness to Yuchen, the Qiu family has no opinion. After all, they are sisters who have grown up together since childhood, and the relationship has always been very close, if Yuxi ignores Yuchen from now on, it will make her worried.

Mother Li found a box from the box and said, "I don't know what it is, it's so heavy." "The box is not big, but the portion is sufficient.

Qiu didn't let anyone open it, and said, "Nine times out of ten, it's jade." Qiu's words were also well-founded, because she knew that Yuchen's favorite was jade, followed by pearls, and she had a general feeling about gold, silver, gemstones, and other things. Since Yuxi wants to give Yuchen a gift, he naturally wants to give Yuchen what he likes.

After an hour, the things were sent to King Jing's mansion. Yuchen opened the box and saw a piece of jade the size of two adult fists placed in the box. The texture of this jade is delicate and pure, without any flaws, and the color is extremely pure, bright and uniform emerald green.

Seeing such a beautiful piece of jade, a smile also appeared on Yuchen's face. With such a superb jade, she is reluctant to use it as an ornament, and is ready to use it as jewelry.

Seeing this, Mama Gui couldn't help but say: "This is the best in jadeite, and the fourth aunt and grandmother are really generous." "Such a large and superb jadeite costs tens of thousands of taels of silver, and money can't buy it.

Yuchen said with a smile: "Last time I sent Hetian white jade, this time I sent Laokeng glazed seeds, I don't know what beautiful jade the fourth sister will send back next time?"

Mama Gui said: "The Western Regions are rich in beautiful jade, and it should not be difficult to find some excellent jade. "With Yunqing's current status, it is not difficult for Yuxi to find those top-grade jades.

Yuchen smiled and said, "The mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are short, if you have got so many good things, if you have something to ask for." If you don't agree, you can't say it. After speaking, Yuchen took out the letter pressed under the jade and opened it to read.

After reading the letter, Yuchen was stunned.

Seeing this, Mama Gui hurriedly asked, "Princess, is there something difficult for the fourth aunt and grandmother to ask you to do?"

Yuchen shook his head, handed the letter to Mama Gui, and said, "No." Yuxi wrote about some trivial things at home in the letter, and the most written was jujube, complaining about jujube not only has a loud voice, but also a lot of strength. Crying can deafen people's ears, and beating people can make you hurt for a while. Although Yuxi complained again and again in the letter, it is not difficult to see that Yuxi is enjoying being a mother.

Mama Gui was also stunned for a moment, and then said, "I don't know if this letter is sincere, or did the fourth aunt write it on purpose?" Therefore, no matter what happens, she speculates about Yuxi with the greatest malice.

Yuchen shook his head helplessly and said, "Your prejudice against Yuxi is too deep. If Yuxi begged her for something, she would definitely think about it. Now it's just an ordinary letter from home, and it's all about family affairs, so why do you have a bad mind!

Mama Gui said: "Princess, it's not that I'm too prejudiced against the fourth aunt and grandmother, but the fourth aunt and grandmother have been successful people since they were children. "A six-year-old child has such a deep mind, such a person is too terrible to be guarded against.

Yuchen smiled and stopped discussing this topic with Mama Gui. Mama Gui's prejudice against Yuxi will not change because of her words, so she doesn't bother to say more. R1148
