Daughter of Hou's Mansion

315 Situation in the Palace

Murong Yulai's words made Shangguan Jue's face darken. What the emperor has done these days is completely different from his previous style of acting. In the past, even if he wanted to deal with someone, he would only take it slowly and never stay behind. Let's talk about it, and during this period of time, not only the grandfather, but even those families who disagreed with Jiang's family politics were suppressed by the emperor, and the emperor insisted on going his own way, and did not listen to the opinions of the ministers at all, and only suppressed all resistance by means of thunder the sound of.It turned out that it wasn't that his style of doing things had changed, but that the emperor was in a hurry and he didn't have much time, that's why he wanted to remove the obstacles for the prince regardless, and he didn't hesitate to promote the Jiang family as the first family of Da Xia.

The emperor was controlled by drugs, and who did it?And what happened to the emperor's illness now?

The atmosphere in the study room was very dignified. If the emperor still had reason, then he would be invincible based on the seniority of the Prince Qin's residence. However, the current emperor has lost his reason, and even made a move on the respected Prince Qin. Obviously, he wanted to suppress the Prince Qin's Mansion, and even more terrifying guesses, or he wanted to destroy the Prince Qin's Mansion, so what else could the Prince Qin's Mansion do.

Although he is also a descendant of the Shangguan family, the old prince did not have the opportunity to be on the tripod at the beginning, but he never thought of competing with his elder brother, nor did he think of replacing him. The prestige is precisely because of the loyalty of the Prince Qin's Mansion. Once the Prince Qin's Mansion confronts the Emperor, no matter what the reason is, the loyalty accumulated over the past few decades will be destroyed. However, the Emperor has already taken action against the Prince Qin's Mansion. It is not in line with Shangguan Jue's temperament if he just sits and waits to die, or even ignores the old prince's hatred.

Director Bai sat across from Shangguanjue, and seeing Shangguanjue's gloomy expression, he also knew that it was difficult for him to make a choice at this time.

The one with the most relaxed expression in the study was Murong Yurou. He was playing with a white porcelain bottle in his hand, with a casual smile on his face. He could make Shangguan Jue's enemy regret coming to this world, but he He will not make any decisions for Shangguan Jue.What's more, Shangguan Jue's decision will affect the future of Prince Qin's Mansion or the Great Xia Dynasty.

After an unknown amount of time, Shangguan Jue suddenly raised his head and walked to the desk.

Director Bai seemed to understand Shangguan Jue's thoughts, and naturally poured two drops of water into the inkstone and began to grind the ink.

After the ink was evenly colored, Shangguan Jue picked up the pen and started writing the letter, but within a quarter of an hour, a piece of paper was already filled.

Director Bai only glanced at it, and knew that the letter was addressed to Prince Wei's son. Looking at Shangguan Jue's solemn and calm expression, it was obvious that he had already made a decision.

After the ink all over the paper dried, the words on it slowly disappeared, until no more traces could be seen, Manager Bai changed the inkstone and ink, and the white paper quickly turned into a letter. A simple greeting letter.After Shangguan Jue'er sealed the envelope, he handed it to Manager Bai.

"Send this letter, and I will go to the palace."

"The prince is going to enter the palace?" Director Bai couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows, "But the news came from Chengqian Palace that the emperor didn't see anyone."

"Uncle Bai believed those lies." The news in the palace said that the emperor fell ill because he was too depressed about the death of Prince Qin. The few of them knew the truth, and it was the emperor who killed the old prince. , how could he be depressed for the old prince? If according to Murong Yurou's speculation, the emperor's life is not long, and he only wants to clear the obstacles for the little prince, he will only think that there is not enough time left, so how could he? Deliberately claiming to be sick at this time, the biggest possibility is that the emperor's body is about to fail.

"Uncle Bai, who is controlling the emperor's body with drugs, and who is trying to turn the Great Xia Dynasty upside down? If these key points are not clear, Prince Qin's mansion will only fall into a passive situation, so this It is imperative to enter the palace, if the emperor does not want to see me, I will ask to see the queen mother, instead of guessing outside, it is better to go deep into the tiger's den." Shangguan Jue said in a deep voice.

Seeing that his tone was firm, Boss Bai knew that he couldn't persuade him any longer, the son had grown into a towering tree as the prince had hoped.

Kunning Palace

"Your Majesty, the emperor's body is exhausted, and the imperial doctor said that it will only take a day or two, please make plans as soon as possible." Wang Youde arrived late at night, after all, he is still the emperor's personal servant.

Empress Jiang frowned suddenly, the emperor would be sad about Prince Qin Empress Jiang didn't believe it, but the emperor suddenly locked himself in the Chengqian Palace, leaving only Wang Youde and the imperial physician by his side, and no one was seen , Empress Jiang also had doubts in her heart, but she never expected that the emperor would run out of fuel so quickly.

"How could the emperor's body collapse so quickly?" Empress Jiang wanted to plan for that position, but she didn't want the emperor to die so soon, especially now that the emperor is all about planning for the little prince and constantly raising the status of the Jiang family. It was what Empress Jiang and the Jiang family were most happy to see. They didn't even need to do it themselves, the emperor would actively remove their political enemies for them.

"Your Majesty, the emperor's body was supported by medicine. Recently, the emperor didn't even have a good sleep and rest. It's normal for his body to fall down all of a sudden. Now that Prince Qin has passed away, the Duke of Lu in the court can be regarded as The foundation is solid, and with the addition of the three young masters of the Jiang family, this old slave is here to congratulate the empress in advance." Wang Youde smiled flatteringly.

The queen did not have any doubts, and said in a slow tone: "If it can be done, the benefits of Eunuch Wang will be indispensable." Wang Youde already knew the biggest secret of their Jiang family, such a person cannot be kept, but this It doesn't prevent the queen from drawing a big cake for him. When the prince ascends the throne, it will be the time of his death.

Wang Youde kowtowed and kowtowed with joy.

In the early morning of the next day, Shangguanjue went into the palace to ask to see the emperor, as expected, Shangguanjue was stopped outside, and the emperor only sent Wang Gonggong out and said a few words before dismissing him.After Shangguan Jue came out of Chengqian Palace, he went to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace.

The people from the Compassion Ning Palace did not stop him, Shangguan Jue followed the old mother beside the empress dowager, and asked sincerely: "How is the empress dowager?"

The old nanny has been with the Queen Mother for many years, and she also knows that the Queen Mother has always been kind to Shangguan, so she said honestly: "Since the winter of last year, the Queen Mother has not stopped coughing, and she is worried about the Emperor's health, so she often sleeps at night. Mei, this health has deteriorated a lot compared to previous years. The emperor's health has deteriorated all of a sudden, and this old servant still dare not tell the queen mother about it, so please wait a moment, don't let your mouth slip."

Shangguan Juexin was stunned, and suddenly realized that the harem might already be dominated by Empress Jiang, and the Empress Dowager's body did not allow her to care so much.

Just as he was talking, he had arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedroom, but just as he reached the door, Shangguanjue heard a familiar coughing sound, and a strong smell of medicine wafted in the air.

"Empress Dowager, the Prince of Qin is here." The old mother said softly.

"Jue'er is here, come in quickly." The queen mother's tone was still kind, but her voice seemed to be Shen Ke for a long time.

Shangguan Jue's heart sank slightly, and he walked in.

I saw the queen mother wearing a half-worn crow blue shirt, sitting on the beauty couch with a small blanket covering her feet, it was only a year since the last time Shangguan saw the queen mother, but the queen mother suddenly Ten years older, the originally half-black hair has turned white, and the body has lost a lot of weight.

"I have met the Empress Dowager." Shangguan Jue stepped forward to salute, but he was a little hesitant in his heart. Originally, he wanted to accompany the Empress Dowager to Chengqian Hall to find out, but now seeing the Empress Dowager's appearance, he really couldn't bear to tell the Empress Dowager that the emperor was critically ill. things.

The queen mother repeatedly said: "Get up quickly, when did Jueer come back?"

Shangguan Jue couldn't help frowning, the queen mother didn't even know why he came back, could it be that she didn't know about her grandfather, the master of the palace of compassion was concealed like this, is it the emperor's intention or... …

The old mother on the side quickly said: "The old prince's health is not good, and the prince feels uneasy in the northwest, so he told the emperor to return to Beijing."

The queen mother's eyes darkened and said: "We are all old, Jue'er, is your grandfather's health in serious condition? Ai's own health is not good, and they don't allow Ai's family to leave the palace. It's just that Prince Qin's body is important, and I can't do without him in Great Xia."

The old mother's expression seemed a little anxious, lest Shangguan Jue would irritate the queen mother by telling the news of the old prince's death.

Shangguan was stunned for a while, then returned to normal, and said: "Grandfather's body still needs to recuperate, Queen Mother, you also need to take care of your health, and grandfather is also thinking about you."

The Empress Dowager nodded and was talking when she heard the report from the palace that it was Princess Duanmin who had arrived.

The Empress Dowager was obviously very happy with Princess Duanmin's arrival and hurriedly asked people to come in, and said to Shangguan Jue: "The imperial doctor said that the cough of the Ai family is not easy to see, it's not that since the emperor's health has improved, the Ai family has not given mercy anymore. Palace, on weekdays only the eldest girl came to accompany Aijia, the emperor is not in good health and has to worry about state affairs, so Aijia let him have more time to rest."

A gleam of light flashed in Shangguan Jue's deep eyes. The Empress Dowager stays at the Palace of Compassion and Ning. If she has the heart, the news from outside will not reach her ears. It's Princess Duanmin's intention to hide these things from the Queen Mother?

ps: Let’s make an update today, I haven’t written for a long time, I want to find out how I feel, and I will strive for more tomorrow.I'm really sorry that it took so long because of family affairs, but after all, it was Xiaoyu's grandfather, and it was right to send him through the last part of his life.I often think of him when I am quiet these few days, and I always feel that it is unreal. I will never see that weird-tempered and stubborn old man again when I get home, and I will still feel sore and uncomfortable in my heart.
