On October 26, Zhou Yan ascended the throne as emperor and changed the name of the year to orthodoxy. The little man was wearing the emperor's crown robe, sitting on the dragon chair, kneeling down with no sadness or joy on his face.

Because the treasury was empty, Zhou Yan's ascension to the throne was also simple. However, after a whole set of processes, Zhou Yan was so tired that he almost collapsed. If it weren't for Zhou Yan's strong support, he would have fallen down a long time ago.

Back in the dormitory, look at the strangers in the palace. Zhou Yan asked, "Who are you?" Zhou Yan had a bad premonition in his heart.

The eunuch at the head said: "Back to the emperor, the old slave's surname is Cai, and he was transferred by the Internal Affairs Office to serve the emperor. As for Gonggong Li, he was old and frail, and Lord Guo let his hometown be honored. ”

A look of anger flashed on Zhou Yan's face, even if he became the emperor, he still had to beg for a living under Yan Wu's hands. However, the experience of the past two years has made Zhou Yan no longer a simple child. Zhou Yan said: "Since this is the case, I will have to work hard for you in the future." ”

Gonggong Cai's waist bent ninety degrees and said: "The emperor's words have tormented the old slave, and it is the duty of the old slave to serve the emperor." "Grandpa Cai is not only here to take care of Zhou Yan, but also to monitor him.

Yuchen was a little lost on this day. Her son ascended the throne as emperor, but she didn't have a chance to wait and see: "I don't know how Yan'er is doing now? "The procedure of ascending the throne is extremely cumbersome, and few adults can stand it, let alone Yan'er, a child.

Mama Gui said: "Don't worry, Niangniang, it will be fine." Looking at Yuchen's longing for Zhou Yan, Mama Gui hoped that the two children in her womb would be born as soon as possible. In this way, most of the attention of the mother can also be divided, instead of paying attention to His Highness all the time.

As he was talking, he heard that Madame Chiang was coming. Yuchen stood up and walked to the door to welcome Zhao into the house: "Zhengnian is talking about my sister-in-law, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to come." ”

Old Marquis Jiang was afraid that Yuchen would be thinking nonsense at home because of Zhou Yan's accession to the throne, so he ordered Zhao to come over and talk to her. Looking at Yuchen, Zhao said with some envy: "I heard that when you are pregnant with twins, the bigger you are, the more uncomfortable it will be, and even your legs and feet will be swollen, but you don't have any reaction." "What a blessing it is to have a double tire, and it is likely to be a dragon and phoenix fetus. This kind of blessing is something that ordinary people can't think of.

Because of the experience of being pregnant with twins, Yuchen did not panic. According to my last experience, I had to walk for half an hour every morning, noon and evening, even if my leg hurt. In addition, it is necessary to let the doctor massage the hands and feet to prevent the legs and feet from being swollen.

Yuchen leaned back in his chair and said, "Carrying two children is much harder than one. "I have a big belly, it's hard to sleep and turn over, so I don't need to talk about all kinds of hardships. But the only consolation is that it didn't affect his appearance, and he didn't gain weight. This is a miracle for many people.

Zhao said with a smile: "If this fetus can give birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, it would be great." "The dragon and phoenix fetus are generally regarded as auspicious. If Yuchen gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, he would really gain a firm foothold in Yanwangfu.

The words of the dragon and phoenix fetus reminded Yuchen of the past, but Yuchen didn't show it: "I borrowed my sister-in-law's auspicious words." In fact, Yuchen hopes that the two children in her belly are girls, so that she can save a lot of trouble in the future.

Every time the Zhao family came over, he chatted with Yuchen about some family matters: "Yuchen, Grandma Jiang Er returned to Beijing a few days ago, do you know about this?"

Yuchen shook his head and said, "I don't know." But why didn't the people who picked them up in February return to Beijing until now?" "No matter how difficult this road is, it doesn't take half a year."

Zhao said what he had heard: "I heard that it was because the nephew of the Henan General Soldier fell in love with Jiang Er's grandmother and wanted to take her as a concubine. Zhao didn't think there was anything she couldn't say about this, even if she couldn't say it, Yuchen would know about it in the future.

Yuchen's face changed slightly, because she remembered herself from Yurong. However, Yurong avoided that fate very well: "How did Yurong get out of danger?" It's a pity that when she was in trouble, no one pulled her.

Zhao said: "Some say that it was Princess Pingxi who saved the second grandmother Jiang, and some say that it was the uncle of the Jiang family who saved her. As for the truth, only Jiang Er's grandmother and the people of the Jiang family know. ”

Yuchen said: "It should be Yurong who was saved by the Jiang family's uncle." Yuxi, when she was young, she didn't get along with Yurong, and she wouldn't save Yurong. "Yurong is a member of the Jiang family, and he also gave birth to a son for the Jiang family, if Yurong is robbed of the Jiang family as a concubine, the face of the Jiang family will be lost.

Zhao shook his head and said: "Princess Pingxi has also been to the Hou Mansion a few times before, and I didn't think she had anything special about her at that time? Who would have thought that she would now become the majestic Princess of Pingxi?" In addition, Yuxi is low-key and not a showy person, and there are very few people who can notice her.

Yuchen smiled bitterly and said, "Don't talk about you, sister-in-law, even my grandmother and me, I didn't see the difference between Yuxi at that time." "Before going to the northwest, Yuxi was very diligent and liked to read, and there was really nothing special about it.

Zhao Shigang just sighed: "But no matter how strong this woman is, she has no son, and she is also making wedding clothes for others." ”

Yuchen didn't really want to discuss the issue of having a boy and a girl: "Yurong came back with the child this time, is the child okay?"

Zhao said: "I haven't heard anything bad about that kid. Come to think of it, it should be fine. "The reason why Yurong has only arrived in the capital now, in addition to the fact that the road is not very peaceful, there is another reason, that is, she has a child.

Zhao accompanied Yuchen until the afternoon before returning home.

In the evening, Yan Wushuang returned to the palace from the palace. When I returned to the palace, I didn't come directly to the backyard, but went to the private torture room in the palace. Yan Wushuang walked into the torture room, looked at Gonggong Li, who was hung up and no longer had a piece of good meat on his body, and asked expressionlessly, "How is it?

Gao Dongnan shook his head and said, "No, he said he didn't know anything." ”

When Gonggong Li saw Yan Wushuang, he begged bitterly: "Lord, when we entered the house that day, the emperor and my master were unconscious, and the old slave really didn't know what was going on?

Yan Wushuang didn't believe Gonggong Li's words, and said, "If you say it, I will let you die happily." If you still don't recruit it, then taste the taste of chopping!"

Gonggong Li was about to collapse: "Lord Wang, I really don't know anything. If I had known, I would have told you word for word. "All he wants now is to have a good time.

Yan Wushuang said with a smile: "Then tell me, who is suspicious in the group serving the emperor." If you can say it, I will give you a good time. ”

Gonggong Li said: "If you want to say suspicious, Your Highness's nurse Aunt An is the most suspicious. Because she takes care of His Highness's food, clothing, housing and transportation, she often walks around. "As for whether it was to deliver the news, it is unknown.

Yan Wushuang said lightly: "What else?"

Gonggong Li told all the objects of suspicion. In fact, most of the people in this are innocent. But in order for Gonggong Li to get a happy death for himself, he didn't let go of any of the bites he could climb.

All the people around Zhou Yan were arrested, and Gonggong Li was not the only one arrested. It's just that Gonggong Li is the great eunuch who takes care of Zhou Yan closely, so he will be the first to interrogate him.

Yan Wushuang said, "Bring that nurse over." ”

Gao Dongnan came back not long after he went out, and said to Yan Wushuang with a look of shame, "Lord Wang, that nurse committed suicide. Cut the major artery in the neck, and there is no help. ”

Except for the nurse who committed suicide, everyone else was interrogated and got something, but it was of little value. The biggest suspect is this nurse, but unfortunately the person is dead.

Gao Dongnan thought for a while, and said to Yan Wushuang: "Perhaps, Concubine Niangniang knows something!" Concubine Han used to be Emperor Taichang's favorite woman, so she may know a lot of things.

With a touch of mockery on his face, Yan Wushuang said, "Zhou Jing will tell Zhou Yan about these secrets, but he will definitely not tell Han Yuchen." "The son is his own, so he can naturally be trusted, but the wife is not.

Gao Dongnan nodded and said, "What the prince said is also true." "If it were him, he would sue his son for confidential matters, but not his wife. First, women can't keep secrets, and secondly, this wife can't be relied on without a son.

Out of the torture room, Yan Wushuang went back to his courtyard, and after eating, he went to Yuchen's courtyard, which happened to let the doctor massage her.

Yan Wushuang looked at Yuchen, who was pregnant and still as beautiful as ever, and remembered the rumors about Yuxi in the northwest that the female adoptive mother was an ugly mother, so everyone thought that Han Yuxi was pregnant with a girl. Yan Wushuang already has several sons, but no daughters, so he hopes that Yuchen can give birth to a pair of daughters.

Yuchen waved his hand at the medicine girl and said, "You go down!" Every time Yan Wushuang came over, he always had something to tell her, and this time was probably no exception.

Yan Wushuang sat on the chair and asked Yuchen, "How is today?" Yan Wushuang never took into account other people's thoughts, and if he was originally very warm, he said it was also hard.

Yuchen said: "The two children are very well-behaved. After speaking, Yuchen looked up at Yan Wushuang's blazing gaze, his heart moved, and he said cautiously: "Lord Wang, the children are also seven months old, and you haven't talked to them yet! ”

Yan Wushuang was not interested, and said, "What did you say? "I didn't give birth to a doll who didn't understand anything, what is there to say.

Yuchen saw that although he was a little disappointed, he saw that Yan Wushuang did not lose his temper, but his heart was a little relieved: "Lord Wang, can today's enthronement ceremony be smooth?"

Yan Wushuang nodded and said, "It's very smooth." The emperor's watch made me impressed. There is another meaning in these words, but Yuchen doesn't know it. R1148
