The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 299, It's a blessing or a curse

After Yuan doctor finished speaking, Qi Yao suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Yuan doctor, his eyes were a bit cold.

Physician Yuan trembled violently.

"President Jing Min is practicing in retreat, and there is still a month before leaving the retreat. Do you want me to wait there?"

Qi Yao lifted his lips and said coldly.

Doctor Yuan touched his nose, "I have invited him ten times, and nine times he is in seclusion. Does the emperor have other plans?"

Yuan doctor looked at Qi Yao, Qi Yao shook his head, "Let me think about it carefully, but this matter must not reach the ears of the princess, so that people can be caught."

Doctor Yuan nodded, "It's natural."

"You go back first, and if you need anything, feel free to find a guard."

In Qi Yao's tone, there was helplessness and heaviness. What happened in the past few days, one after another, was like a mountain, and it was almost out of breath.

Rubbing his forehead, waves of pain came over him. There was a scroll on the table, reflecting the color of a hibiscus, delicate and charming. When he looked back for a moment, he seemed to see something new, and his eyes lit up.

At that moment, the delicate and beautiful face added a bit of aura, and she smiled lightly, full of thousands of graces, and the flowers blooming beside her were not half as good as hers, and she hadn't seen Su Han for half a month in a blink of an eye.

No matter how much Qi Yao endured, and waited for everything to be resolved, he would definitely take Su Han back gracefully and never let her suffer any grievances.

Standing outside the window looking at the dark sky, there was such an impulse that Qi Yao wanted to run to her side immediately to give her care and warmth.

Being pregnant alone, Qi Yao wanted to slap herself to death, angry and angry, asking herself again and again, is she just so timid and afraid of getting into trouble?

Can't even protect a woman, Qi Yao took a deep breath, read the scroll over and over again, and then put it away, otherwise I'm afraid I can't help but look for it after a while.

"Your Majesty, fly the pigeon to pass the letter." Wei Ran walked in holding a white pigeon.

Qi Yao reached out and took out a small note from Baige's ankle. After opening it, his expression changed suddenly.

"Immediately send someone to contact the hidden guards around Master Ji, and let Old General Ling send [-] troops to Master Ji."

"Yes."

The corners of Qi Yao's mouth were tightened into a smile, which was a cruel sneer, "Also, send fifty Jinwu Guards out to bring the plague in the southwest to Qin and the early Ming Dynasty. Someone will always have a solution."

Wei Ran suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, is his master going to get angry?

"Yes, this subordinate will go and do it."

A gust of wind blew up at night, and it was cool. Xiao Gonggong closed the door and added more lamp oil to make the room brighter.

Qi Yao stayed up late every night reviewing the memorials, and got up before dawn. Since the rumors emerged, he went to bed even later every day.

Qi Yao didn't suppress the rumors, because the more he suppressed, the harder he played. If he didn't care about it and let it develop, it would lose its meaning when he said it.

Sure enough, after more than half a month, both the Qin State and the early Ming Dynasty discovered the plague. Qin Tianjian watched the sky at night and pointed out that this was a villain in the early Ming Dynasty. The purpose was to shake the hearts of the people and attack Eastern Chu. .

Slowly, the people who were suspicious of Su Han let go of their guard, but still kept some of them, just waiting for the crown princess to give birth.

As time got closer, Qi Yao's eyelids kept twitching, looking at the sky, it was getting darker and darker, as if there was a breath stuck in his chest, and he couldn't let it out.

In the past few days, Qi Yao ordered to go down, donate porridge to build a house, add sesame oil money, and even old cases, as long as someone reports them, they will be pursued, and those who died innocently will ask the monks of the Jokhang Temple to save them and enshrine the tablets , Hewlett-Packard family members are still praying for blessings one by one.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and many people in the crowd began to discuss.

"The heavy rain for half a month is clearly a blessing, not a bad luck at all. Last night I dreamed that the Bodhisattva pointed out that the princess and concubine who are as heavenly as a fairy can be a demon girl."

"Coincidentally, yesterday I also dreamed that the Bodhisattva pointed out that the princess has never harmed us. In the last war, the princess also donated a dowry. Such a kind-hearted woman cannot be a witch."

"No wonder I've been restless for the past few days. It turned out that it was the Bodhisattva who gave me advice. You said that last night, the incense burner in front of the Bodhisattva statue enshrined in my house fell to the ground. No one has touched it for so many years. It's not because of the Bodhisattva. warn."

"If we were fooled, wouldn't we be caught in a treacherous scheme to make Dongchu self-defeating? The emperor is our patron saint. If we go out twice, which one is not the one that saves the day?"

"The last time the emperor was poisoned, the crown princess traveled thousands of miles to find the emperor. Later, the emperor's poison was cured. Isn't it just a lucky star? Let's not be fooled. General Su went to the Southwest Plague in person. That's the crown princess. My dear brother, it can be seen that the emperor is selfless."

"You're right. It's all our fault. We almost wronged a good person."

"Didn't the Marquis of Jin'an wrongly wronged the concubine to get the plague last time, this time it's the plague again, it must be caused by villains!"

"Yes, there are countless people in this world who understand celestial phenomena. Based on the half-moon rain alone, it is too narrow to determine that the princess is a witch. It may be a coincidence. Someone calculated the weather on purpose and put it on the princess."

"It must be the Qin Kingdom and the early Ming Dynasty. Unwilling to be defeated, they took the initiative to provoke wars again and again, and their lives were devastated. This is the heaviest crime."

"Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless."

Several women knelt on the ground piously, clasped their hands together, and prayed continuously.

They are already very satisfied with such a life, and they can live and work in peace and contentment only if the emperor obeys the will of the people and becomes powerful.

Gradually, these words began to spread among the crowd, one spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and slowly spread.

Su Han's reputation suddenly became black and white, good and bad, but compared to before, it was much better.

Qi Yao listened to the report, "Good job. Tomorrow, let the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment stand up and eavesdrop on my conversation with Qin Tianjian. The long drought in Kyoto brings rain, and Qin Tianjian calculated that within two months, there must be a heavy rain. For months, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment had mischievous intentions, intentionally planted and framed him, and distorted the facts, which is an unforgivable crime."

Qi Yao already held the criminal evidence of the servant of the Ministry of Punishment tightly in his hand. He was tortured and beaten many times in the five years since he took office. There are too many innocent people under his hands, who are corrupt and pervert the law.

It's just that there is some value in dying. Qi Yao gave him a chance to forgive his sins.

"As long as he is willing to recruit, I will not pursue his family members."

Qi Yao dropped a word lightly, and Wei Ran nodded.

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

"In addition, how is the preparation for the rain praying pavilion? The half-moon heavy rain must be diverted away, and it must not be stranded. Increase manpower and introduce rivers as much as possible. Also, dozens of guards are placed next to every river on the border of Kyoto."

Qi Yao closed the memorial with a snap. The people rioted because they were worried about their own safety. As long as the people were safe, whatever they said was nothing but nonsense.

"Yes!"

Of the [-] soldiers and horses stranded in Kyoto, almost half of them were allocated, and the rest were arranged for patrols to prevent riots and take advantage of the opportunity to do something.

Ling counted the days, and Su Han was due to give birth in less than a month. With so many rumors, how should Su Han deal with them in the future.

Thinking of this, Ling couldn't sleep all night. Ling didn't know Qi Yao's countermeasures yet, so she was even more anxious.

But the third master Su knew, so he had to give Qi Yao a thumbs up, and secretly praised him. He has been busy these days without touching the ground. It looks like I don't know anything.

As soon as I got home, I was so sleepy that I couldn't even open my eyes. After lying down for less than an hour, someone woke up immediately.

Third Master Su was not annoyed, he quickly put on his clothes and ate a meal in a hurry.

"Why are you in such a hurry, what are you busy with all day long?" Ling was a little annoyed, so she asked, "How busy is the family now, and you are still outside all day..."

For the first time, Third Master Su lost his temper, and his expression was serious, "What do you know as a woman, this is official business, just stay at home honestly, don't meddle in it!"

Ling Shi was stunned. After so many years, it was the first time that Third Master Su lost his temper with her and spoke loudly, which had never happened before.

For a moment, I didn't know how to react. In the blink of an eye, Third Master Su had already walked away, with his back hooked, looking a little tired.

"Madam, the master may be a little busy these days, so don't take it to heart."

Yiren hurried to comfort Ling Shi, lest she think too much.

Ling smiled, "I know, if it wasn't for this time, he wouldn't be like this, so there's nothing to care about."

Yiren felt relieved.

Compared to the worry and anxiety of the Su family, the atmosphere in the whole He residence is also a bit weird.

He Guogong is also busy every day without touching the ground, busy running around, worrying about some trivial matters, breaking his heart.

But Mrs. He didn't think so, instead she was secretly happy, including Second Master He.

"You see, the wicked have their own rewards. It's just that the emperor can't see clearly. He was blinded by others. Su Han has no one to be a queen. I can't believe it, she is a witch."

Mrs. He pursed her lips happily, wishing that something happened to Su Han, the long-suffering gloom would dissipate a lot, like drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup in the dog days, it was extremely refreshing.

"What my mother said is that sooner or later the Su family's high position and power will lead to disaster. First, let Su Ting go to the southwest to die, and then Su Han will drag the entire Su family down step by step, and then perish..."

He Erye felt very excited when he thought about it, the Su family was finally going to collapse.

"Haha, this is retribution, it deserves it, this is the Bodhisattva who has opened his eyes and finally let the bitch be punished. If I have a chance, I would like to see how that bitch of the Ling family is heart-piercing. People send black-haired people."

Mrs. He couldn't hold back her laughter. After being suppressed for almost four months, Mrs. He could finally burst out.

After He Erye was taught by Ji Wuyou last time, he was afraid to go out and was very scared. He didn't get better until recently, but he still didn't change his nature. He cursed the Su family and lived in his own imagination.

Second Master He was excited, it seemed that his guess was correct, it is impossible for Qi Yao not to care about the He family, it must be Qi Yao protecting the He family in a disguised form, avoiding their edge.

Waiting for the opportunity, now that Qi Yao is in power, he really started to clean up the Su family, which means that the He family's good days are coming.

Second Master He was gearing up excitedly, eager to try, Qi Yao ascended the throne, but Su Han didn't even show his face, he must have fallen out of favor.

Second Master He even once thought that what happened today was all planned by Qi Yao in order to get rid of Su Han openly.

"Mother, it's a bit early to say this. The Su family's destruction is when our family rises up. All the grievances in the past will be the past. There is no queen mother in the palace. In the future, you will be the first honor in the capital."

Second Master He felt that his guess was right, everything was a cover, and it was time for the He family to rise.

Hearing this, Mrs. He's excited hands were trembling, "Second brother, I finally have something to look forward to, otherwise, how will I face my ancestors in the future."

Mrs. He wept excitedly and laughed happily.

Little did he know that the plan of the two fell into the ears of He Guogong. He Guogong stood outside the door and listened for a while, his face was like ice scum,

There were bouts of chills.

Clenching his fists tightly, suppressing the soreness in his heart, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness. This is his mother who has been filial to him for so many years, and his brothers who are like brothers.

He Guogong complained about Qi Yao at the beginning, turned his face and was ruthless, even if he didn't have the kindness of nurturing, he shouldn't be ruthless.

It’s this time, and I’m still talking sarcasticly behind my back. In fact, what Qi Yao said is correct. Once I’m given a ladder, I’ll climb up layer by layer. I’m not afraid of heights, and I only care about my own greed. The back road, the higher the climb, the harder the fall.

Qi Yao is right, once you give the He family a good face, a little chance will only boost the arrogance of the He family, and simply suppress it. Even so, facing the monstrous wealth, he still refuses to give up. That's all.

He Guogong took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and opened the door, and walked in with strides.

The two of them spoke with great enthusiasm, and they didn't even know who was coming behind them.

"It's nothing more than a Su Han. Apart from good looks, what else is he capable of? He has an arrogant temper. The emperor's three palaces and six courtyards are short of a concubine. How many women do you need? Everyone looks like a fairy. If it weren't for the crown prince's domineering concubine, the emperor Does the society not even have a son?"

Mrs. He sighed, a little regretful, "It's a pity, I don't know how the injuries on Ziwu and Zige's faces are. If they can be cured, they will be sent to the palace. I'm looking for a nanny to teach them. It can be changed back."

The more Mrs. He thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, she laughed more and more, and said again.

"I don't care about the money, as long as it can be cured, how much it will cost, my wife will pay!"

He Erye also laughed, "It's normal for the emperor to take concubines, but the Su family made such a move, it's purely greedy, wanting too much, and offending the emperor, in the future we have to persuade the emperor well ,otherwise……"

When Erye He raised his eyes, he only felt that there was a figure blocking him.

"Otherwise what?" He Guogong's icy voice had no warmth, and his eyes were full of disgust.

Second Master He froze, "Brother...why are you here?"

He Guogong strode in and glanced at Mrs. He, as if looking at a stranger, alienated and probing.

Mrs. He didn't expect that He Guogong was standing behind her, she was stunned for a moment, and then she said in a bad mood.

"Well, why are you here? I haven't seen you for a few months, and I thought you didn't have me as a mother at all in your heart."

Second Master He smiled awkwardly. Compared to everyone else, He Guogong is the emperor's biological father, and he is closer than Mrs. He, so Second Master He wants to curry favor with He Guogong.

"Mother, elder brother came to see you, don't you often think about elder brother, we are all a family, why bother to see outsiders like this."

Mrs. He snorted, but didn't speak, just waiting for He Guogong to admit his mistake.

"Brother, mother is also worried about you, so don't take it to heart."

He Erye persuaded.

He Guogong raised his lips and smiled, a little indifferent and sarcastic, "It is a serious crime to talk about the emperor in private, what about the emperor, and what has it to do with you, don't lose sight of your identity."

The smile on He Erye's face froze, "What do you mean by brother..."

He Guogong looked at Second Master He's face, gloomy and cold, Second Master He took a step back in shock, feeling ominous.

"Second brother, go and pack your things. The temple of the Duke's Mansion is too small to accommodate your big Buddha and the old lady. Later, I will send someone to send the old lady back to Cangzhou to recuperate. If you don't follow, I have no choice but to report it. , this alone is a death penalty.”

He Guogong decided to completely cut off the assumptions of the two of them, with a look of determination on his face.

Mrs. He looked at He Guogong in disbelief, her son understood that He Guogong was not joking.

"You're crazy! I'm your mother. You're so unfilial. Why, you despise us as an eyesore? It's hindering you from enjoying the glory and wealth. Let me tell you, I won't leave."

"Brother, why are you doing this, we are all a family..."

He Guogong said in a deep voice, "Housekeeper, report to the officials!"
