A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 394 Another fire! (two more)

On the other side, Yun Heng went straight out of the palace and went back to Prince Rui's Mansion after visiting the emperor from Fengming Palace.

On New Year's Eve, there should still be an atmosphere. He never forbade his servants to set off fireworks, eat wine and have fun in the front yard. As soon as he returned home, he went directly to the deserted backyard.

He was convicted earlier, but because he himself has never been arrested and brought to justice, the case has never been really closed. The emperor must still be concerned about the relationship between father and son. The confidants around him were interrogated and convicted, but the other servants and concubines in the back house remained unmoved.

However, after he came back, he had no other thoughts, so he ordered all concubines Ji to be dismissed.

In the early years, in order to hide his strength and bide his time, he accumulated all his reputation and luck and finally married a family that could help him. Although he hired a few women in the backyard, they were all without background and status. send off.

But he didn't want to, he planned carefully and carefully for half his life, and was defeated overnight by Ye Xunyi, leaving him with nothing!
He went back to the backyard and did not return to his room. Halfway there, he stood on the corridor of the waterside pavilion, staring at the occasional snowflakes falling from the sky with deep eyes.

The confidant guard passed by the intersection of the garden and saw that he was still standing here, so he walked over tentatively with light steps: "Your Highness... I am afraid that the banquet at the state banquet will not be full, or the subordinates will go to warm the pot of wine and ask the kitchen to serve it again." Do you pass on the meal?"

Yun Heng didn't look back, a sarcastic smile curled up on the corner of his lips.

He sighed heavily, but his tone was full of sarcasm: "Father is ill... I should not think about eating and drinking right now."

How the emperor fell ill, the confidants around him know best.

This is really bad.

The guard opened his mouth, held back for a while before whispering: "This subordinate is only worried about your body."

Yun Heng didn't seem to hear what he said.

Another flake of snow drifted down from the sky, and he raised his hand to catch it.

Seeing a few clusters of goose feathers falling into the palm of the hand, it quickly turned into water...

The next moment, the entire sky was still as clean as it should be.

"It's so good to be alive!" Yun Heng looked at the snow water printed in his palm prints, and his expression suddenly became lost again. He glanced around the backyard of the palace, and murmured to himself: "In fact, in all fairness, as a Father, he is really not bad to this king. Two years ago, this king was homeless, and ran away like a bereaved dog for more than half a year. Later, when I came back, I saw that this palace was still there, and everything here was there. At that time, I felt a thousand feelings. I I know, he is still soft-hearted, and he still misses the relationship between father and son in his heart."

The guards didn't dare to talk at all at this moment, they just lowered their eyes carefully, and at the same time, they were vigilantly watching the surrounding environment to prevent anyone from approaching or peeping.

Yun Heng was talking to himself, but his eyes sharpened without warning, and he clenched his fists suddenly.

He raised his arms, looking sullenly at the snow water that had been warmed by body temperature rolling down in the palm lines.

After that, he shook his sleeves fiercely, and while wiping away the wetness left in his palm vigorously, he said in a serious tone, "But... the best thing is always the crown prince's, and what he gave to the king will always be the best." It's just charity. Since he can't give and doesn't want to give what this king really wants, then I can only grab it myself!"

He wants to be a master!

Born in the royal family, he never needed any family and fatherly love, if he would submit to the world at his feet!
It doesn't matter what is true or false, as long as he stands at the pinnacle of power, then the false will become true!
His steps were windy and he walked very fast.

The guard stood where he was, not daring to follow, and then silently retreated to the shore and waited.

There is only one woman left in Yunheng's backyard, and that is Ye Xunyi.

And the reason why he put Ye Xunyi in his mansion in a grand manner is because of the dark under the lights.

Ye Xunyi lives in the pavilion in the middle of the waterside pavilion, surrounded by water on all sides, there are only two exits from the corridors of the waterside pavilion on both sides, which is convenient for monitoring and control. As long as someone comes and goes to her place, they can see clearly at a glance from a distance.

He went straight to Ye Xunyi's residence.

It was already the fourth watch at this moment, and it would be dawn in an hour or two. Ye Xunyi didn't sleep, sitting alone under the shadow of the lamp and lost his mind.

Hearing Yun Heng's footsteps, she turned her head to look over.

He didn't stand up and salute, but only glanced lightly and then looked away again, "His Highness is back, look at your expression... Could it be that things are not going well?"

When Yun Heng got her out of the sky prison, she was in a daze. After all, she had the experience of her previous life. No matter how stupid she was, she would never think that Yun Heng suddenly changed his sex and became a big lover, just because he couldn't get it all the time. She was reluctant to call her dead.

Yun Heng didn't hide it either, and had an in-depth talk with her, asking her about the "past life" face to face.

Only then did she feel relieved and suddenly realized——

He saved her, as expected, it was not superficially because of the affair between men and women, but because Qi Huan went to the dungeon to taunt her. On that day, Yun Heng happened to find her whereabouts. Yun Heng hid in the dark and heard their conversation, and this man also As in his previous life, he was so obsessed with the throne, he felt that since she had seen the opportunity, she could still be his help.

Ye Xunyi still hated him, the kind of hatred that penetrated into the marrow of his bones!

but--

She is more afraid of death and does not want to die at the same time!

So, I simply vented, and vented all the grievances from my previous life face to face.

She promised to join hands with Yunheng, after all——

In the previous life, the two of them stood together in an invincible position.

Yun Heng is a lunatic who is full of longing for the throne, but Ye Xunyi, she actually has no idea in her heart, knowing that the situation in the two lives is different, and the things in this life have developed to the point where she is completely out of her control and control , but in order to survive, she still bluffed and pretended to be full of confidence...

After going around in circles, he plunged into Yun Heng's camp again.

The only difference is-

In the previous life, Yun Heng used her as a pawn and at the same time had to pretend to coax her with sweet words. In this life, Yun Heng used her as a counselor.

Yun Heng didn't sit down.

He has been like this for the past two years. Occasionally he has something to discuss, and when he comes here, he just walks in a hurry and leaves after talking.

Facing such an incompetent ally like Ye Xunyi, he didn't bother to care about the other party's attitude and tone, but he was really in a bad mood today, so he responded with a tit-for-tat: "You are gloating, aren't you? Then go ahead Just look at the joke, if this king can't get things done, you will be buried with him."

While speaking, he did not know when there was an extra small porcelain bottle in his hand.

He threw his hands on Ye Xunyi.

Ye Xunyi subconsciously raised his hand to catch it, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Yun Heng saw her reaction in his eyes, but a deep disgust flashed in his eyes.

If he had a special affection for Ye Xunyi before he knew about the past life, then now...

The only meager and morbid feelings were also wiped out.

This woman is selfish, vulgar, narrow-minded, and generally not outstanding in appearance, and she has a humble status as a concubine that he hates deeply. If it weren't for her unscrupulous ruthlessness, she would indeed be of some use...

Ye Xunyi hysterically accused him of using and betraying her in his previous life, but he never felt that he was wrong at that time, because she only deserved so much.

"The last antidote." Putting aside these messy thoughts for a while, Yun Heng said coldly again, "If there is no accident, the remaining poison on your body can be cleaned up after taking this."

Ye Xunyi's antidote was an additional condition exchanged when he and Yu Wencang discussed cooperation.

Originally, Ye Xunyi’s poisoning was not deep, so it was not difficult to solve, but she was unlucky because she dragged on for too long, the poison penetrated into her lungs, and it took a lot of time and effort to clear it up bit by bit, so Yu Wencang simply took this as an excuse , Divided a few times and gave them bit by bit.

Ye Xunyi held the porcelain bottle in his hand, his face was radiant, and his eyes gleamed with the joy of being completely liberated.

Yun Heng said: "Father fell ill. If Yu Wencang hadn't lied to us, he wouldn't be able to last long. You don't have to stay here to hide people's eyes and ears. You can do whatever you want, and the people in the mansion will send you whatever you want."

Yun Heng has always been on guard against her!

Ye Xunyi shuddered, and suddenly turned to look at him in disbelief.

Yun Heng pulled the corner of his lips and sneered, and said a meaningful sentence word by word: "You can quit the battle and switch to the camp of Da adult and Yu Wencang, but think clearly before you get hotheaded, and if you kill me, you go to him Then, what role do you have? How will he arrange you? "

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Ye Xunyi's reaction, turned around and strode away.

Ye Xunyi was left behind, staring at his leaving back with gritted teeth, with a look of embarrassment that had been peeped into his inner thoughts and played hard.

After getting down from the water pavilion, Yun Heng gave the guards on the shore an order to lift Ye Xunyi's foot restraint.

His guard, however, couldn't believe Ye Xunyi, and hurriedly said, "You want to let her move freely? Your Highness, please think twice, and forgive me for presumptuous words. This Ye family is not of one mind with you, she..."

"Let her go!" Yun Heng said coldly, looking back at Shuixie.

At that time in the waterside pavilion, Ye Xunyi was also standing at the window watching his every move on the shore, but the distance was too far, and neither of them could clearly see each other's exact expressions.

After that, Yun Heng turned around and left.

He went back to his room and took a rest for a few hours. As soon as the sky dawned, he got up and got ready again.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the princes had to enter the palace early in the morning to kowtow to the empress to pay New Year's greetings.

As expected, the emperor was still in Fengming Palace.

The princes and concubines arrived one after another, and waited for an hour before Xiao Miaozi came out to deliver a message: "Your Majesty's dragon body is in disobedience, and he is recuperating, and the empress and empress are sick. Please go back to the palace to rest. Well, please forgive me today."

The empresses and concubines were panicked, but they didn't dare to make mistakes, so they retreated one after another.

Yun Zhan took the lead and asked, "Father's health has improved? Are you still asleep now?"

Xiao Miaozi said: "Your Majesty has just woken up. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Your Highnesses should go in and kowtow to the Holy Spirit. It is considered as a rule."

The three followed Xiao Miaozi into the hall.

Sure enough, the emperor woke up, but he didn't change his clothes, and he was still in the bed, leaning on some pillows and being served by Yun Cheng to drink the medicine.

His face was extremely haggard and weak, and his voice could not lift a trace of strength. He was talking to Yun Cheng: "You... If I am not sick, you will not enter the palace for ten and a half months to let me take a look, making me feel like I want to see you, as if I have to be sick from time to time."

Yun Cheng seemed to have just cried, and his voice was extremely low and hoarse, he lowered his head and said softly: "It's my son who is not filial, I will move back to live in the palace from now on."

But the emperor smiled: "Women are not allowed to stay..."

The voice just fell, but I don't know if I choked on the medicine, and coughed again.

Yun Cheng hurriedly put down the medicine bowl, helped him up, and while stroking his chest to let him breathe, he took a handkerchief to wipe the medicine juice he coughed up from the corner of his mouth.

but don't want to-

Rubbing the handkerchief, another blush appeared in the eyes.

Yun Cheng was so shocked that his hands and feet stiffened for a moment, and tears rolled in his eye sockets.

At this moment, Xiao Miaozi led the three brothers Yun Zhan into the palace.

Yun Cheng was still standing there in a daze, the emperor caught a glimpse of them first from the corner of his eye, but his eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he calmly stuffed the handkerchief Yun Cheng was pinching in his hand into his sleeve.

Yun Cheng heard footsteps and hurriedly stepped aside.

"The sons and ministers kowtow to the father to pay New Year's greetings, wishing the father a long life and a long life, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe." The three of Yun Zhan knelt and kowtowed to pay their respects.

The emperor still looked like a loving father, accepted their salute, and then nodded: "Okay...get up."

When the three brothers appeared at the same time, it was basically Yun Zhan who spoke for him. He saw that the emperor's face was still very bad, so he couldn't help asking: "After a night's rest, the emperor's illness seems to be better?"

"You're old, that's it." The emperor avoided the seriousness and didn't say much, and gave Xiao Miaozi a wink, and Xiao Miaozi turned around and went to the table next to him to get a tray, and took a few red envelopes that had been sealed in advance.

The emperor said: "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't gossip with you guys. I'll give you a red envelope for auspiciousness. Let's all back down."

Yun Heng has been observing his words in secret, and it is not difficult to see that what he said at this time was all the spirit and strength he had to hold on to.

Besides—

The veil in his sleeve...

This is the case with the royal father and son. The emperor sent them, and even the crown prince Yun Zhan could not disobey them. The three received red envelopes, thanked them and left.

Only then did Yun Cheng free his hands, and quickly called for someone to bring a cup of warm water to rinse the emperor's mouth.

Yun Heng, who had already walked into the courtyard, looked back slightly sideways, watching the figures moving around in the hall, and then looked away calmly.

After leaving the palace, he went directly back to the palace, rested for a whole morning, and then entered the palace again in the name of visiting a sick person after noon.

I learned from the eyeliner in the palace that Princess Yun Cheng of Zhaoyang was accompanying her at Fengming Palace all day today, and the crown prince Yun Zhan went to Fengming Palace to see a doctor again around noon, but the emperor did not take a nap at noon Seeing him, but Empress Gu left him in Fengming Palace, the mother and son closed the door and talked for a while, then left him for lunch before leaving.

Yun Heng went to Fengming Palace, and now the man on duty in front of the imperial court has been replaced by Eunuch Li.

The servant who guarded the palace gate went in to pass the message, and soon Eunuch Li came out with his whisk in his arms, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Rui has a healthy New Year, and this old slave pays his respects to you."

"The chief executive is polite, and you have a happy New Year too." Yun Heng replied, and then looked behind him with a worried look on his face: "Is the father's illness better? Or can't you see me?"

Eunuch Li still had a good expression on his face, and he couldn't see any flaws: "After taking the medicine at noon, he fell asleep. Your Majesty's filial piety knows about it. Thank you for your hard work and a trip in vain."

"This is what it should be." Yun Heng said, "Since the father is inconvenient, then the king will not bother him to recuperate, and go ahead, and trouble the chief executive to greet the king later, saying that I have been here."

"Okay...Okay!" Eunuch Li agreed repeatedly.

As he spoke, he didn't know if he was choking on the wind, and suddenly he covered his chest with his sleeves and coughed lowly for a while.

Yun Heng's eyes sank slightly, he moved halfway and stopped, and when he finished coughing, he looked at his flushed face and asked with concern: "The chief executive is also sick? Or ask the imperial doctor to take a look? "

Eunuch Li coughed so weakly that he waved his hands and said, "I'm getting old and useless. It should be because of His Majesty's illness that I got angry, and I choked on a little wind. Take it easy, it's nothing serious." .”

"Then chief executive, take care of your health, my king bids farewell!"

Leaving Fengming Palace, Yun Heng didn't stay in the palace and went straight back home.

After entering the study, Yun Heng flipped through the two prescriptions delivered to his desk in advance, and the guards who followed him couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, your majesty's condition..."

Yun Heng said coldly: "Then fight again, Father's illness will not improve again, but this king can't wait any longer, now we must strike while the iron is hot, and do as I arranged in advance!"

"Yes!" The guard led the order.

During the next half month of the new year, the emperor remained ill in bed, and all the courtiers in the harem disappeared. The ones who saw the most every day were the empress Gu, her daughter, and the imperial physician.

Because the emperor was ill, the foreign envoys all had their own thoughts, so they all delayed in Beijing, staying in Beijing, wanting to wait and see what happened.

Seeing that the opening of the court was about to be copied, everyone stretched their necks, thinking that this year the court would not be able to open as scheduled, but on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, on the Lantern Festival, they received a verbal order, informing the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to go to the court normally the next day .

Taking advantage of the emperor's coming to court, Yun Cheng, who had been in the palace for half a month, was finally free and took the opportunity to go back to the house in Pingkangfang.

But she didn't know that there was another turmoil on the court today——

A large number of courtiers that Yunheng had arranged in advance jointly signed a letter, trying to persuade the emperor to agree to the adults' request for marriage and peace talks.
