At the end of the month, every family is busy. And there is no shortage of wealthy people in the capital, as long as there are good things, they will be snatched up as soon as they are listed. However, because the Korean government is still keeping filial piety, the mansion is still relatively deserted.

Han Gao hurriedly entered Han Jianming's study from the outside. At this time, Tan Jianming was playing chess with Mr. Zhao in the house. Han Gao didn't dare to bother, and waited until the game of chess was finished before he said the news he had got: "Grandpa Guo, the emperor has had a stroke." ”

Han Jianming stood up and asked, "How did you have a stroke?" ”

Han Gao shook his head and said, "I heard that it was caused by an old disease. "What is the specific reason, the prince blocked the news, and they couldn't find out, mainly because the strength of the Guogong Mansion was not good, and the news they got was limited.

Mr. Zhao frowned and said, "It's the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, if it's just an ordinary condition, it will definitely be hidden." Now it seems that the disease must be very serious. ”

Han Jianming thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see!" "Anyway, they are guarding filial piety, even if the prince is at home and the Song family has some action, they will not be involved.

The emperor was not seriously ill, but saw a beautiful palace maid who wanted to be pampered. The body was originally weak, and he was still eating things for fun, so he didn't wait for the woman to be spoiled and directly pumped over. The palace maid saw the emperor faint and committed suicide by hitting the pillar.

The emperor spent a night of hard work to wake up the imperial doctor, but the emperor suffered a stroke, and not only could not get up, but also could not speak.

When Yuchen got the news, he knew that something was wrong: "Let people inquire, what's going on?" "Since the emperor was sick last time, most of the servants around him are eunuchs, and a small number of them are old and decrepit grandmothers. Okay, why did you fall in love with the beautiful palace maid, there must be something greasy in this.

Mama Gui disagreed with Yuchen doing this, and said, "It's better that we don't get involved in this matter in the inner courtyard of the palace. "Mama Gui doesn't want Yuchen to get involved in the right and wrong of the palace.

Yuchen shook his head and said, "I'm measured. ”

Although Mama Gui was unwilling, she could only compromise. In the evening, Mama Gui told Yuchen the news she had got: "Niangniang, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine, as for who is the mastermind behind the scenes, I don't know for the time being." ”

Yuchen showed a playful look and said, "That's interesting, who is the mastermind behind this scene?" What is the picture? "The crown prince is definitely impossible, he is already in charge of the country, there is really no need to kill his father. As for the Yu family and the Song family, they will not poison the emperor. The crown prince has always wanted to weaken the strength of the two families, so both families must hope that the emperor will live a longer life. After all, although the crown prince is in charge of the country, he is the prince after all, and many things will be restricted.

Mama Gui shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. However, seeing that Yuchen's smile was a little weird, Mama Gui asked, "Princess, do you already know who it is?" ”

Yuchen shook his head and said, "I'm not a fortune teller, I can pinch and calculate." But I always felt that this couldn't be a coincidence. ”

Mama Gui said: "Princess, this matter should not be investigated further. "In case Concubine Song or the crown prince know that they have installed someone in the palace, it will not look good at that time.

Yuchen nodded: "Put it down for the time being." ”

The thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve is a day of family reunion. Usually at this time, they all want to enter the palace to worship the emperor and queen, and the Guogong Mansion is still in the filial piety period this year, so I didn't go. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the family eats together.

While eating, the chief butler walked in quickly from outside, and did not shy away from it, and said loudly: "Grandpa Guo, old lady, the emperor has died." ”

Han Jianming listened for a moment and asked, "The emperor has died?" "He still thinks that the emperor will have to stay up for another three or five months! As a result, less than three days later, it was gone.

The Qiu clan was not as calm as Han Jianming, and said: "Quickly withdraw the banquet and take out the white cloth to make filial piety clothes." "Although there were filial piety clothes before, they could not be reused, they had to be done.

After packing up, the group entered the palace to cry and mourn. This is the rule, the emperor died, and hundreds of civil and military officials and orders at all levels had to enter the palace to cry and mourn.

At the gate of the palace, Han Jianming separated from the Qiu family and other female dependents, and before leaving, Han Jianming instructed the Ye family and said, "Take care of my mother." "Han Jianming would say this because every time he encounters a big funeral, he has to fall ill a group of people. Especially in this cold day now, it is even more sinful to cry and mourn. Every time they came down, half of them had to fall, and the older ones couldn't stand it and went straight with them. Although Qiu's body is said to be good, he may not be able to withstand such a funeral.

Han Jianming's worries are not unreasonable. Qiu caught a cold on this day, and the next day he started a fever. Han Jianming felt sorry for his mother, so he went directly to the Zongren Mansion to report the incident, so that the Qiu family would no longer go to the harem to cry and mourn. As for Ye and Lu Xiu, they had to follow them to the palace before dawn every day, and they would not come back until it was dark. Even if they were exhausted, no one dared to complain for half a word, and they all resisted.

When the emperor came out of the funeral, Ye and Lu Xiu lost a lot of weight.

The emperor is gone, and after the burial, the crown prince will ascend the throne. The relationship between Han Jianming and the prince has always been light. In the past, the prince had wooed Han Jianming, but he refused. At this time, Han Jianming was a little worried, and said to Mr. Zhao: "Do you think the prince will be jealous?" ”

Mr. Zhao shook his head and said, "Grandpa Guo don't worry. When the crown prince ascended the throne, he must have been thinking about how to seize power from Yu Xiang and the Song family. "Although Han Jianming is the prince of the country, he has little power, and if the prince wants to retaliate, his position must be firm.

If he didn't know that the prince was involved in the Tongcheng tragedy, Mr. Zhao would definitely persuade Han Jianming to take refuge with the prince. After all, the prince is the prince and has the ability, and the future of the prince is bright.

Han Jianming snorted.

The two talked about the shape of the court again, and before they finished the discussion, they heard the maid come over and report: "Grandpa Guo, the old lady invites you to come over." ”

When Qiu Shi saw Han Jianming, he scolded with a slashed face: "Yuxi was stabbed and almost lost his life, why didn't you sue me for such a big thing?" ”

A fierce color flashed in Han Jianming's eyes, he had been hiding the news, and he didn't know which maid with no long eyes told Sù Niang: "Mother, Yuxi is fine, but his arm was injured a little, it's okay, don't worry?" ”

Qiu Shi was angry: "You still want to fool me, what kind of injury is a little bit, the dagger that stabbed Yuxi is coated with poison, and you still want to hide it from me." Speaking of this, Qiu's tears came: "This child, why are there so many disasters!" ”

Han Jianming deliberately pretended to be very angry and said, "Mother, what dagger is coated with poison, who is talking nonsense to you?" Yuxi is in Yucheng well, who wants to curse her so viciously? "Regarding Yuxi's poisoning and almost dying, you must not sue sù fuck.

Qiu asked suspiciously, "You didn't lie to me?" ”

Han Jianming said: "Mother, what am I lying to you for?" I think it's almost February, and Yuxi's letter should arrive, and when you read the letter, you will believe that Yuxi is fine. ”

Qiu Shi weighed it in his heart and said, "This is what your second cousin said, she shouldn't talk nonsense!" ”

Han Jianming's eyes revealed disgust, and he immediately told the Qiu clan the ins and outs of the matter, of course, the poisonous part of the dagger was hidden.

Qiu Shi recited Amitabha: "I don't know who is so hearty, even using those poor children, and not afraid of going to the eighteenth layer of hell after death." "Knowing the reason, the Qiu clan can't say that Yuxi is reckless. After all, it is related to the safety of so many children, and it cannot be said that Yuxi is wrong.

Han Jianming said: "Mother, it's better that people from the Zhou family are still rare. They have now taken refuge in the new emperor, and none of us knows what will happen in the future. "Han Jianming has no feelings for the Zhou family, this will make the Zhou family take refuge in the prince, where is he willing to have too much to do with them.

Qiu didn't know much about the affairs of the court, but she listened to her son's words very well: "If they come again in the future, I will let your daughter-in-law entertain them." After a pause, Qiu Shi still asked uneasily, "Yuxi is really okay?" ”

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "Mother, Yuxi is really fine, don't worry." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Han Gao come in and say, "Old lady, Grandpa Guo, the letter from the fourth aunt and grandmother has arrived." "This letter is an expedited express of 800 miles.

Qiu Shi hurriedly said, "Hurry up and show me." As long as she read the letter, she knew if Han Jianming lied to her.

When he opened the letter and looked at it, Qiu was relieved. The handwriting on the letter is Yuxi's, and just by reading the letter, you know that Yuxi is fine. A person who is dying, where can he write such strong and powerful words.

Han Jianming didn't think that Yuxi would send him the letter quickly, so he said something inconsequential: "Mother, I still have some things to deal with." ”

Qiu said: "Serious matter, you go quickly!" "In addition to worrying about Xia Yuan and Han Jianye in Yucheng, Qiu's life is still very comfortable. Now in the period of filial piety, Han Jianming will come to Changle Courtyard every day at noon and evening to eat. Although Han Jianming can't say nice things to make the Qiu family happy, this intention is enough for the Qiu family to be useful.

Back in the front yard, Han Jianming opened Yuxi's letter, and then dismantled the words in the way agreed by the two, and wrote the words on the white paper, and after writing, Han Jianming looked at the words on the paper steadily. After half a ring, Han Jianming said, "Go and ask Mr. Zhao to come over." ”

Mr. Zhao lived next to him and came over in less than three minutes. Mr. Zhao asked, "Grandpa Guo, what did the fourth aunt say in the letter?" ”

Han Jianming said: "Drought. ”

Mr. Zhao didn't understand? "What do you mean?" Seeing that Han Jianming also shook his head, he was immediately speechless: "What kind of dumb riddle is the fourth aunt and grandmother playing?" ”

Han Jianming said: "Could it be that you think this year may be a drought? With that, he shook his head. It definitely doesn't mean this, this is something that even Qin Tianjian can't judge, how can Yuxi know, there must be other meanings in it.

Thinking of this, Han Jianming said: "Will our communication method be known?" That's why Yu Xi deliberately wrote these two words? ”

Mr. Zhao shook his head, he was not sure about this. R1148
