The emperor is reborn, the cute queen is upgraded

Chapter 40 It was her
The prince passed away suddenly in his prime, which dealt a blow to the emperor!
The throne has always been passed on to the descendants but not to the elders, and to the virtuous without descendants!So when the third prince born to Empress Xu was established as the crown prince, no one raised any objections!

Now that the prince has passed away, the princes are naturally eyeing the throne!
In order to avoid a tragedy of fratricide, the emperor issued a secret decree to call back Chen Wang of Xingwu to be the crown prince!Directly cut off other people's idea of ​​seizing the heir!The reason why he chose Dugu Ye as the heir to the throne is because the emperor wanted to make up for all the debts he owed Mrs. Liu back then!
"The empress... is a little cautious." The emperor sighed weakly after a moment of silence, "The crown prince has just passed away, and I secretly ordered you to enter Beijing to be enshrined. She will inevitably feel resentful. But the empress is the mother of the country after all. She is the Empress Dowager, if you are disrespectful to her, you will be criticized by the world! Some people will jump out and accuse you of being unfit to be an emperor!"

After listening to the emperor's instructions, the corners of Dugu Ye's mouth twitched slightly.

Because he lowered his head and the emperor was ill, he didn't notice Dugu Ye's disrespectful and mocking smile.

"Father, please rest assured, no matter now or in the future, as long as the queen mother lives for a day, the ministers will respect her for a day, and will never do anything disobedient and unfilial." Dugu Ye said quietly.

Hearing Dugu Ye's assurance, the emperor knew that there was probably no sincerity in it!But if Duguye wants to secure the throne, he has to be patient with Empress Xu!
"I heard that you used the prince's order to transfer ten golden dragon guards to welcome the princess and her party this morning?" The emperor lowered his face and asked in a questioning tone, "the twenty golden dragon guards I gave you are to protect you Safety! If you lose a woman, you can accept it! If you lose your son, you can regenerate! If your life is gone, it will be someone else's turn to sit on the throne! What a fool!"

Suddenly!Duguye raised his head and stared at the sickly emperor, the light in his black eyes seemed to penetrate people's hearts!
The emperor was dissatisfied with his son's unruly gaze, and frowned tightly.

Duguye lowered his head again, hiding the sharp light in his eyes.

"Yes, my father taught me the right thing."

"You must be thinking in your heart, I am really a cold-blooded and ruthless person, right?" The emperor's voice softened, "Back then, I liked your mother so much that I asked the late emperor and Empress Wen Jing Xiao'an for a marriage. But the late emperor had already favored the Xu family. The woman refers to marriage to me, because Empress Xu's father was very prestigious in the Qingliu school at that time, and the Xu family had marriages with several important officials in the court. The late emperor believed that the Xu family was the help for me to quickly correct the court after I ascended the throne! On the one hand, as soon as possible The one who sits firmly on the throne and controls the world, and the one who has unhelpful love for children, how would you choose? Cough cough!"

At the end, the emperor was a little impatient and excited, as if eager to get Dugu Ye's approval, he spoke quickly and loudly!

When the servants outside heard the emperor's cough, they begged in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Dugu Ye's hands had already been clenched into fists, he clenched his teeth, pursed his lips, and lowered his head even lower.

After a long time, Dugu Ye knelt down and bowed his head and said: "Father, calm down, I know I was wrong! Don't get angry! After returning to the East Palace, I immediately sent someone to chase the ten golden dragon guards back! It's because I am short-sighted gone."

Seeing the new crown prince knelt down to admit his mistake, the emperor's chest was relieved.After admonishing Duguye a few more words, the emperor asked him to step down.

Dugu Ye got up from the ground, bowed and exited the inner hall.

As soon as he got out of the inner hall, Dugu Ye straightened up, the stern expression on his face made the servants on both sides put their heads down!
"His Royal Highness, go slowly." The servant who just went to Xuan Dugu Ye to enter the Taiji Hall said respectfully.

"Thank you, Grandpa Quan, for taking care of your father." Dugu Ye said with a slight bow towards Grandpa Quan.

Eunuch Quan hurriedly turned sideways to avoid Dugu Ye's salute, "This is what a servant should do, please rest assured, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Dugu Ye smiled, and left Taiji Hall without saying a word!
It was already dusk outside, and the heat of the day was blown away by the night wind.

When Duguye returned to the East Palace, he didn't send someone to call Jin Longwei back, but arranged for an ordinary guard to go out of the city to rest for a few days!
Before going to sleep, he thought of the letter from Mr. Zhang mentioning that Si Luoyun used a mynah to play tricks on his subordinates, and he couldn't help feeling soft.

Royal father, my son will definitely not be the second you!

Si Luoyun felt that the road from Andu to Shangjing, except for the most thrilling and anxious night when Siyang Town was attacked, the journey in the other few days was fairly smooth.Even Zhen Ji, who thought she was squeamish after she was pregnant with a child, became much more honest after being scolded by her that night.

When they entered Chongzhou Mansion, which was about three or four days away from Shangjing, Si Luoyun and their team encountered Jin Longwei sent by Prince Duguye!

The difference between Jin Longwei and ordinary inner court guards is that they are orphans collected by the imperial court from all over the country!Because there is no bondage of relatives, only if they are willing to work hard, work hard, and be loyal to their master, their future will be bright!
Therefore, the Golden Dragon Guard is the most elite close body guard in the hands of the emperor!
Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually sent Jin Longwei to welcome the Crown Princess and her party, which shows how much attention is paid to it!

Jin Longwei's behavior is also perverse!After the ten of them reported their way to General He and saluted Si Luoyun, they made arrangements on their own initiative, completely ignoring General He!And not under anyone's command!
Fortunately, General He knew Jin Longwei's background and didn't care, but the soldiers who escorted the prince's concubine all the way over did not like this group of Jin Longwei who wore dark blue robes and had hideous golden dragon heads embroidered on their backs!
The environment of the post house in Chongzhou Prefecture is better, and we knew in advance that we were going to welcome the princess and his party, so we made simple repairs and decorations, so the guest house is naturally much more comfortable to live in.

Si Luo Yunshen arrived at the Fucheng of Chongzhou around the same time. After settling in the posthouse, she met several female family members of the Chongzhou official's mansion, and she was a little tired in the evening.

After eating a few mouthfuls of dinner, Si Luoyun simply washed up and got ready for bed.

"You have worked hard these past few days." Si Luoyun put her hand on Liao Muer's wrist and walked towards the made bed.

"Princess concubine is serious." Liao Mu'er said respectfully, "Dayan Empress Palace has not had a female official position for a long time. It was His Royal Highness who thought of his grandfather's old love before conferring slaves and servants as female officials. As a female official in the inner court, it is also necessary to serve the crown princess."

Lu Liangren's court lady died when she was attacked in Siyang Town, so she didn't bring too many palace attendants with her, so Si Luoyun arranged for Qiuying to serve Lu Liangren.Mu'er, who had served Si Luoyun in Yongkun Palace, took her place.

Although Liao Mu'er's grandfather was once one of Chen Guozuo's ministers, he was born in a commoner and had no background in wealth.Her parents died early, and she entered Chendi with her grandfather who was ordered by the emperor to assist Chen Wang in governing.

Liao Zuoxiang died of illness four years ago, and Liao Muer, who became an orphan, was already 11 years old, and was brought into the Chen Palace by Duguye to be taken care of by the mother in the palace.

Liao Muer was 15 years old this year, and Dugu Ye didn't intend to accept her as a concubine, but made her a female official to serve Si Luoyun closely.

Si Luoyun is a person who is too lazy to think too much, even if Qiu Ying secretly reminded her to pay more attention to the female officer Mu'er, she just smiled and said nothing.She always treated Liao Muer more politely, but she didn't mean to be equal or close to him.

When Si Luoyun lay down, she counted the days. If the weather is good in these three or four days and there is no delay to the schedule, then she will be able to enter Beijing on the third day at the earliest!
Although Si Luoyun hoped to enter the capital smoothly, the sky is beautiful, but people are not beautiful!

In the middle of the night, when everyone was sound asleep, Zhen Ji started crying and howling again!

When Si Luoyun was awakened and sat up, Liao Muer happened to come back from the door holding an oil lamp.

"What happened?" Si Luoyun only heard the woman's cry, her heart beating violently!
Liao Mu'er put down the oil lamp, walked to the side of the bed, raised the curtain on one side, and said in a low voice, "It's Zhen Ji who suddenly feels abdominal discomfort..."

Zhen Ji again?Si Luoyun frowned.

Get up in a hurry and get dressed by Liao Mu'er, then Si Luoyun is going to see what is going on with Zhen Ji!

"Crown princess!" Liao Mu'er pulled Si Luoyun back, "I just wanted to see what happened at the door, but I was stopped by Jin Longwei. I also asked my servant to tell you not to go out, just sit in the room and wait for the news .”

Si Luoyun was taken aback when she heard the words, then turned to look at Liao Muer, "wait for the news?"

Liao Mu'er nodded, her eyes shifted to the side for a while, and then immediately lowered.

Si Luoyun's brows were furrowed even tighter, and she couldn't help taking a few careful glances at Liao Mu'er.

There are not many things that happened along the way, but they are all trivial and sesame mung bean things.But I didn't feel any strange people in the palace on weekdays, but this trip became strange one by one!
"In that case, then I will sit and wait for Jin Longwei's report." Si Luoyun said calmly, walked to the table and sat down.

Si Luoyun didn't wait long. Within a quarter of an hour, Jin Longwei and General He's people invited a doctor to treat Zhen Ji, and about two quarters of an hour brought the suspect who intended to murder Zhen Ji and her unborn baby to the hospital. In front of Si Luoyun!

Looking at the two women kneeling on the ground, the expression on Si Luoyun's face was first surprised, then disappointed, and finally calmed down.

"What do you two have to say?" Si Luoyun glanced at Lu Yuniang and Qiu Ying and asked softly.

Mrs. Liao, He Baoquan, Zhang Caisheng, Mr. Zhang, General He, and Yan Xiong, the captain of the ten-member Golden Dragon Guard, were all present, and everyone had a solemn look on their faces!
The small guest house seemed even narrower due to the addition of a few tall men, which also made the two women kneeling on the ground tremble uncontrollably!

"Slave... I have nothing to say..." Qiuying's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was lifeless, "I have failed the trust of the Crown Princess, I just want to die to apologize!"

"You can't die until you explain everything clearly." Si Luoyun still said quietly, she turned her eyes to Lu Yuniang again, "Mr. Lu Liang, you were the one who asked the assassin the last time at the inn in Siyang Town. Can you tell me which room Ben Gong and Zhen Ji lived in? It’s a pity you didn’t know that Zhen Ji was not satisfied with the room she was assigned, so she switched with Cai Ji! Poor Cai Ji died just like that! Later you found out that Zhen Ji Ji lives next door to you, and you ran over there under the guise of protection! If Mr. Zhang hadn't rescued her in time, I'm afraid Zhen Ji would have... Lu Liang, who ordered you to harm Ben Gong and Zhen Ji? "

Lu Yuniang, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head, two lines of tears hung on her pale but still beautiful face, her eyes were full of despair and sadness!

"No one instigated me, but my concubine was jealous that you, who entered the Chen palace together, are now a master, and I was jealous that Zhen Ji could conceive the king... the prince's heir! So after my concubine bribed the thief and failed to assassinate him late at night, I let Qiu Ying I tampered with Zhen Ji's anti-fetal medicine!" Lu Yuniang went all out to accept all the blame, and she did all the tricks! "Even, on the night of the [-]th day of the first lunar month last year, the maid Baihe poured water to freeze in front of the Fuyi Palace, and then planted it on you, the Crown Princess... the concubine asked someone to do it! Lily didn't know it was from the beginning to the end. The concubine is planning all this behind the scenes, so she will not be able to confess to the mastermind until she dies!"
