The little lady in the palace

Chapter 123 Injuries
The side hall of Qianqing Palace.

The eldest son of the emperor put down the bowl of medicine after drinking it, and looked at the emperor: "Father."

Sitting on the side of the couch in a daze, the emperor looked back, and the eldest son said: "I feel better these two days, so I...don't live in Qianqing Palace. Otherwise, the emperor will always be worried when he sees him, and the queen will also be worried every day." After running a few times, Erchen felt..."

"I won't be worried if I don't see you?" The emperor cut off his words and sighed, "You can live here with peace of mind. You don't have to worry about how your father and queen are doing."

The eldest son of the emperor opened his mouth to argue, but after seeing his father's expression, he swallowed his words back.After a moment of silence, he said, "My son is not filial."

The emperor shook his head gloomyly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are beyond the control of ordinary people. It's not your fault." He said as he picked up a stack of sesame crisp candies on the table, motioning the eldest son to eat a piece.After the eldest son of the emperor took it, the emperor put the plate back on the table, and smiled reluctantly, "You just take care of it, don't you just pass out a few times? It may not be a serious illness. When you recover, I will give you After a good wedding, there are noble girls waiting for you in every mansion, and you can decide which girl you like at that time."

"En." The eldest son of the emperor replied, feeling extremely bored.

In fact, just from the postponement of the big wedding, he also knew that his illness must be incurable.Because some courtiers have mentioned that perhaps the marriage should be done as usual, which is a joy, but the emperor did not agree.

He had overheard the eunuchs around him gossiping in private, saying that it was probably because they were afraid that the prince and concubine would become widowed when they married.

Naturally, he didn't like to hear these words, but he also felt that this was the right way.He also didn't want any noble girl in the capital to be a widow after marrying him, and it was not as easy for people who married into the clan to remarry.

There was a moment of silence between father and son, and the eldest son forced himself a smile: "Father, you can go and do your work. After a while... After a while, Yujing will come over, saying that there are a few things she doesn't understand in the homework, and she wants me to explain it to her. "

"She wants to tell you about getting married." The emperor was straightforward, and the eldest son was slightly taken aback.

The emperor smiled wryly: "She didn't like the son-in-law I chose for her that day, and the emperor knows that. You two are too sensible, and if you have something to say, you prefer to be bored by yourself... Actually, there is no need for this." He shook his son's hand, "After a while, she Come on, just tell her that this matter is undecided, if she has someone she likes, she can come and tell me; if there is no one for a while, I am not in a hurry to marry her out."

The eldest son of the emperor nodded in agreement, and the emperor covered him with a quilt, then got up and went to the main hall: "I will go and see Zhezi for a while, you rest."

The side hall is not big, and after a few steps, the emperor has already left the hall gate.Just as he was about to walk towards the main hall, he stopped when he saw an eunuch rushing towards him, frowning and said, "Why are you in such a panic?"

"Your Majesty..." The eunuch hurriedly stopped.He was so anxious that he didn't notice that the emperor had already walked out, and the Taoist was still in the hall, his heart was hanging by his words, and he broke into a cold sweat with fright.

He bowed his body and said: "Yi, Princess Yi has come into the palace, and she came in a hurry."

The emperor was taken aback for a moment, and only asked, "Do you want to see the empress or Concubine Ding?"

"It's not..." The eunuch stared at the ground, "The princess said she wanted to see you, said she had something important to do, and also said...for being rude, please forgive me."

The emperor couldn't help but wonder if the sixth brother had made progress?Without thinking too much, he immediately ordered someone to come in, and he frowned at this "disrespectful place" after the person arrived.

Yuyin's tea-green skirt was extremely wrinkled, and the skirt was so stained with dust that the patterns could not be seen, her hair bun was slightly messy, and her temple hair was sticking to her face with sweat, a black and thin strand.

"Princess, this is..." The emperor looked at her.

Yu Yin knelt down and bowed: "The emperor forgives the sin. I received the letter from the prince. I was not sure how serious it was, so I had to rush over here...on horseback."

emperor:"……"

A married woman, riding a horse into the palace by herself?never heard of that.

He asked Yuyin to present the letter, but when Yuyin got up, she found that her body was so sore that she was about to fall apart, and her legs couldn't move, so she had to hand the letter directly to the eunuch who came to receive it.

The emperor opened the letter while saying "Help the concubine to sit", read it carefully from beginning to end, but murmured in his heart——Why is the sixth brother's letter unclear?
From the wording and request in the letter, it could be seen that it was really urgent, but he didn't even say a word about what was urgent.

And at the beginning, he also said two family affairs.Isn't this making trouble?If there is something urgent, do you want to make it clear, or let someone send the letter directly to the palace?
The emperor looked at Yuyin suspiciously, and Yuyin, who had just recovered from his breath, nodded and explained: "I don't know what's going on. I just saw that the prince's letter was in a hurry, and the letter was delayed on the way. A few days... I felt that maybe the prince should arrive today and tomorrow, so I hurried over to report to the emperor."

As Yu Yin said, she got up and gave a blessing: "Look at the meaning of the prince, he wants to take people away from the capital immediately after reporting the matter. I thought to myself, if there are other adults who are meeting with the prince when the prince comes, or at night..."

When the emperor heard this, he understood why she was so anxious that she didn't even care about her appearance.

He immediately ordered: "Prince Yi, please come in at any time if you want to see him. If it's night, you can also call me up at any time."

Yu Yin breathed a sigh of relief, but apparently she didn't intend to leave.

The emperor frowned slightly: "Is there something else for the princess?"

"Your Majesty, can this concubine..." Yuyin was embarrassed by this private thought, but couldn't suppress it, hesitated for a while, and said in a muffled voice, "Can I wait for the prince in the palace? Look at the letter It means that he probably doesn't have time to go back to the mansion, and I haven't seen him for quite some time."

emperor:"……"

He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, feeling his back molars sour.

He knows a little bit about the relationship between the sixth brother and the princess - not long after the two got married, he went back to Yijun Palace and thought that sitting in the study and drinking a cup of tea would not work, because the princess was in the study. fell asleep.

Tsk, the sixth brother is busy with his business in the study during the day, and has to keep the princess by his side, how boring is that?

But that was all how many years ago... Now the children of both of them are quite big, right?Yes, it's quite big, and I've invited you to be crowned prince!
Why are these two still like this!
The emperor couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, glanced at Yuyin, and said to her: "Princess Wang, go and accompany Princess Ding first, and then come back after packing up. No matter how fast the sixth brother is, it is estimated that he will not arrive in an hour and a half."

Oh……

Yuyin resigned obediently, and went to greet Dowager Ding as she said.

She understood what the emperor meant, and he asked her to come back after changing clothes and freshening up.It's really inappropriate for her to stay in Qianqing Palace like this.

And she didn't want to see Meng Junhuai like this.

They haven't seen each other for nearly two months, and she doesn't want him to see her dirty.

In the northern outskirts of the capital, the fast horse galloped straight to the city gate, and there was a cough in the smoke and dust, and a Jin Yiwei shouted: "Wait, stop!"

The person who called out got off the horse after speaking, stepped into the carriage quickly, opened the curtain and asked, "Your Highness, you..."

"It's okay." Meng Junhuai raised his eyelids, frowned and said, "Zexu, don't keep telling people to stop, or you will miss important things."

"Take a break!" The persuading person seemed a little anxious, "If we slow down, we will definitely enter Beijing before dawn."

"No, you must enter Beijing before dark." Meng Junhuai leaned on the cushion behind him and took a breath, and said to him, "Don't worry, the emperor will send the imperial doctor to see me when I enter the palace, and then I will take a rest You can go back to the mansion to see your aunt first, or go to Xie's house to talk to your master. The only thing is, if the princess asks you something, you are not allowed to tell her about it."

Meng Junhuai coughed again as he spoke, and the wound on his abdomen was shaken violently. He held his hands for a while, and his faith was shaken for a while, but he held back and did not let go.

They were attacked at night on the way to Shandong. Jin Yiwei injured several people. He was stabbed in the abdomen with a sword, and his injuries have not healed until now.

Originally, they thought they were bandits, but later they discovered that the killers were all eunuchs.

Meng Junhuai's first thought was that this matter is most likely related to the illness of the eldest son of the emperor, otherwise why would they assassinate him as a prince?He wanted to quickly report this matter to the palace, but he didn't expect that since that day, assassinations followed one after another.

The other party obviously grasped their movements.If this is the case, it will not be too smooth to send someone to the palace.

Meng Junhuai was troubled for two days, and later found that the letters from his family were normal, so he guessed that the other party didn't want Jingli to notice the abnormality, so he didn't dare to cut off his correspondence with the mansion.

So even though he didn't want Yuyin to know these things, he had to use her hand to spread the word.

He thought, the matter should be reported to the palace now.It's good that brother Huang can see him as soon as possible, after seeing him, he will leave immediately, never stay in Beijing, never let her know that he was injured.

Seeing that he persisted, You Zexu had no choice but to get on his horse and continue on his way.A group of people rushed to the capital without stopping, and after entering the city gate, they rushed to the palace without stopping.When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I just heard the bell of Zishi.

There were already palace people waiting there, seeing them coming, two of them rushed to Qianqing Palace to report, and the others were shocked when they saw Meng Junhuai: "Your Highness?!"

They hurriedly supported him, called a warm sedan chair to help him up, and then went to Qianqing Palace.

In Qianqing Palace, Yuyin and Meng Junhuai were all out of their wits.

She always looked outside the hall from time to time, as if she could see him sooner if she took a second look, which made the waiting ladies in the hall couldn't help but want to laugh.

Later, Princess Duanrou Meng Yujing came, went to talk to the eldest son of the emperor for a while, and then came to accompany her. Seeing that she was always looking out, Princess Duanrou said, "Auntie, I have a telescope here, which was sent by a Westerner." Yes, bring it for your use?"

Being teased by such a little girl, Yu Yin blushed so badly.

Now, she finally heard that he brought someone into the palace.

It's not good for her to go directly to the entrance of the hall and wait, because he must go in first to see the emperor, and she couldn't sit still, so she paced back and forth in the side hall.

After waiting for a long time, Yuyin heard footsteps.

It was the sound of Jin Yiwei's boots stepping out. There seemed to be a lot of people coming here together.

Then, she suddenly heard a violent cough.Amidst the coughing, someone exclaimed, "Your Highness!"

"It's okay..." Meng Junhuai waved his hands and continued walking in. He stopped when he saw someone rushing out of the side hall.

Then he was stunned like this, looking at the pale-faced person standing by the door, suddenly at a loss what to do.

Yu Yin was also stunned, she was just afraid that something was wrong with him, so she couldn't help but ran out to take a look, but she didn't expect him to be helped in like this, and there was an obvious wound on his abdomen, which was still oozing out Blood.

"Jun Huai..." She even lost her voice. Fearing that something might happen to her, the maid hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said softly, "Princess, don't worry."

Meng Junhuai hesitated for a while, waved the Jin Yiwei who came with him to back away, and walked over alone to hold her hand: "I'm fine."

Her hands were so cold that she couldn't help shivering when wrapped in his warmth.

The next moment, he felt someone hit his chest, and the person who bumped into him burst into tears.
