Rebirth Palace Chaos

Chapter 104

July Fire, Su Yan's sixth year after entering the palace.

Yusu, the concubine of Changle Wang, gave birth to a baby boy who was named the crown prince.

The emperor ordered Yusu's mother and son to return to Beijing for recuperation, and gave him a mansion in the palace and servants.

However, after more than a month passed, Monan did not respond.

The emperor issued another decree, and it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

Last year, King Changle captured Licheng, the important county of Rongdi. At the beginning of spring this year, when General Fuyuan arrived at Tianshui Town in Monan, the new king of Rongdi launched a surprise attack and trapped the three-way army transporting grain and grass in the valley of Wolongguan.

Wolong Pass is located in a dangerous fortress, the army is not familiar with the terrain, and the Rong and Di truces have lasted a winter, and the soldiers and horses are excellent. In this battle, the army suffered heavy losses.

Therefore, General Fuyuan immediately mobilized the three armies to strictly fortify the department, while preventing the Rong and Di from committing another crime, while secretly deploying troops.

However, the main forces in Monan are all subordinates of King Changle. Although Ning Wenyuan has a soldier talisman, it is difficult to mobilize it. He can only be selected from Yao's army first. With such a large and small force, the battle in Monan has never ceased.

After the spring hunt, King Changle turned in the military talisman and returned in a hurry to help General Yuanda.

Unexpectedly, this time he went, he actually supported his own self-respect and refused to return after being called!
Now that the frontier is in the midst of employing people, the emperor can only recruit King Changle, not take it by force. After all, the war is at hand and state affairs are the most important.

In the situation of Monan, the king of Changle and General Fuyuan stand on equal footing. The only thing that makes Duan Zhaoling feel relieved is that General Fuyuan's outstanding military exploits can appease the generals. After several months of tempering, Yao Qifeng's old troops have been reorganized and their strength has greatly increased .

It can be seen that he did not choose the wrong person at the beginning. Ning Wenyuan is not only an excellent secret guard, but also a talent of general and prime minister.

Although the frontline is full of wars, the capital is still a rich and gentle town.

The selection of the emperor's draft every three years is imminent.

However, the harem was filled with the faint smell of gunpowder smoke. This time, Concubine Yan should be in charge, but the emperor changed his face several times in Yilan Palace.

It was rumored by the palace people that it was Concubine Yan who dominated the monarch and would not allow other younger and more beautiful women to enter the palace, and the evidence was solid.

Since she entered the palace, in the past six years, none of the concubines who had opposed her in the harem had a good death.

The femme fatale makes people shudder.

But there is also a gossip, but it is another version. Concubine Yan Gui has been childless for many years, and His Majesty hates it, so she plans to expand the harem and spread its branches. Palace power, so as not to fall into the hands of others.

But the real situation is like this.

Recently, Su Yan carefully selected from the roster of beautiful girls submitted by all over the country, and circled a few girls with excellent looks and talents.

Take it to the emperor for review.

But the emperor had already stated his position a few days ago that there is no need for a palace election this year, and there is no need to expand the inner court.

But Su Yan still carried out the preparations in an orderly manner according to the organization system. Today, Duan Zhaoling went to court, returned to Yilan Palace, asked the palace staff, and learned that Su Yan was grading papers in the study again.

He walked over to embrace the beauty in his arms, through the thin gauze, he could feel the tenderness of the delicate body in his arms.

But when he looked down, he was immediately displeased. He snatched the roster from Su Yan's hand, "My harem doesn't need others."

"But the concubine feels that the harem is too deserted." Su Yan responded directly.

Duan Zhaoling's face softened slightly, "Then send some family members to Beijing from time to time to accompany you to talk."

Su Yan glanced out of the window, her voice was charming, but her expression was cold, "This concubine wants to choose some sisters to share her worries, Your Majesty stays in Yilan Palace every day, and this concubine's body can't take it anymore. "

"Oh?" These words successfully aroused his anger, and he groped to untie her clothes. Before touching her, Su Yan had already put her finger on his chest. Sunflower water is here."

Therefore, from the Yilan Palace up and down, I saw His Majesty heading towards the Kunyuan Palace with a livid face.

Summer is scorching hot, and the heat is hot and dry.

The sound of cicadas outside the hall disturbs people's dreams.

Fortunately, in early summer, Duan Zhaoling ordered craftsmen to dig an ice cellar under the bedroom of Yilan Palace, and as soon as summer came, they would store large pieces of ice crystals there.

Su Yan's bedroom is cool and comfortable, and she doesn't suffer from the heat at all.

Duan Zhaoling has also lived in Yilan Palace for a long time, with the exception of tonight.

In the evening, she left in anger, and didn't come back for dinner, Su Yan didn't care, but wanted to be quiet.

But after nightfall, the originally dull sky suddenly became overcast with thunder and lightning.

After a while, it began to rain heavily and poured down.It was as if another carbon flower was thrown into the brazier, arousing the already unbearable heat even more.

Su Yan was disturbed by the thunder and could not sleep peacefully.

The center of her eyebrows twitched, she was rubbing it lightly, when she heard the sound of footsteps outside the hall approaching in the rain.

Then, Sang Yu lit the wax and came in, followed by another person in a hurry.

Taking a closer look, it was Yuke.

Yuke's skirt was already drenched, she said anxiously, "Please move to the Kunyuan Hall, Your Majesty has another cough."

The word "offensive" in Yu Ke's mouth does not refer to an ordinary cough. Duan Zhaoling suffered from the root cause of the disease in his early years, and when the cough was severe, he would cough up blood hard to stop!

There is nothing the hospital can do about this disease, so they can only take care of it carefully.

However, this disease should be caused by the cold air invading the body in winter, and it is easy to attack. Now it is midsummer, so it is beyond common sense.

Seeing Yu Ke anxiously wanting to cry, Su Yan's heart was even more confused, Sang Yu prepared the sedan chair and covered her with a rain poncho, and the group braved the heavy rain to go to Kunyuan Hall.

When Su Yan took off her poncho and walked up to the gate of the palace, several imperial physicians had already gathered.

"Didn't it mean that Your Majesty's cough is only prone to attack in winter?" Su Yan asked while walking.

The imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied, "After the examination by the old minister, His Majesty's body was cold first, and then the heat was suffocated, and the disease was aroused by the cold and the heat!"

Thinking about it, he used to be cool in Yilan Palace, but today he suddenly returned to Kunyuan Palace, and it was raining and hot, which made his illness so severe.

"I'm fine, just take a rest." Duan Zhaoling half leaned on the couch, gave Su Yan a comforting smile, his lips were pale, "It's Yuke and the others making a big fuss, and they found you again in the middle of the night, making it impossible to rest."

"Since His Majesty is fine, the concubine will leave first." Seeing his stubbornness, Su Yan got up and left.

Only then did Duan Zhaoling grab the corner of her clothes, and said helplessly, "What I'm saying is all irony, you stay here, and it won't save me from going to find you again."

The imperial physician prepared the medicine, and Yu Ke came over, but Duan Zhaoling insisted on asking Su Yan to feed her.

"Your Majesty is already old, but he looks like a child." Su Yan had no good words to say, but she still had to do it.

"You promise not to draft girls this year, and I will listen to you for the rest."

Su Yan thought for a while, "Is there anything I can ask for from my concubine. Your majesty is not in good health. You should train the prince to manage the government more. It would be good to help you share some of the burden in the future."

He closed his eyes and drank the medicinal soup in one gulp, "This matter should indeed be put on the agenda."

Just as Duan Zhaoling fell asleep, Su Yan was also exhausted.

However, there was another person asking to see him outside the Kunyuan Palace, and the emperor was recuperating, so she had to go to meet him.

Under the rain, Zhen Cairen was waiting outside the hall with a poncho and an umbrella.

As soon as she saw Su Yan, she stepped forward quickly, with an anxious expression on her face, "The concubine heard that His Majesty suffered from an old illness and was restless in the palace. Therefore, I came to visit late at night, and I hope that the empress will not blame me."

Su Yan covered her lips and led her in, "If you have such a heart for His Majesty, I will be more at ease."

Zhen Cairen sat in the hall for a while, served carefully for a while, and then left.

Seeing that Duan Zhaoling fell asleep, Su Yan also planned to go back to the palace to rest, after all, there were too many people, which added trouble.

Zhen Cairen came on foot, her clothes were mostly wet, and the two people on the left and right were on the same road, so they invited her to ride together.

Zhen Cairen's dormitory is in the east, built by the water, the side door is facing the gazebo and high waterfall, this is specially arranged by Su Yan, so she often persuades the emperor to come here to enjoy the scenery, and stay in Zhen Cairen's dormitory.

The palace is built on the mountain, and the pavilion is located on the mountainside. Drinking tea and watching the waterfall, the scenery is pleasant.

The waterfall flows down, it is not high, but it is connected with the moat water, and the cycle is endless.

Sending Zhen Cairen to the gate of the palace, Su Yan was suddenly called by her.

"Also please come here, my concubine has something to say."

Seeing her distressed face and faltering, Su Yan knew that there must be some important news.

Then he ordered Sang Yu and others to guard the sedan chair where they were, and Zhen Cairen led her to sit under the gazebo to shelter from the rain.

"There is no one at the moment, my sister has something to say directly." Su Yan was already tired, but at this time she forced herself to cheer up.

I saw Zhen Cairen approaching slightly, "Your Majesty, do you still remember King Changle?"

Su Yan glanced at her suspiciously, "Naturally, I remember that King Changle returned to Monan and is now supporting himself with troops. Why do you ask this?"

Zhen Cairen nodded again, and grabbed Su Yan's sleeve, "Before the prince left, he left a message for my concubine, and I must do what I want."

Su Yan stood up abruptly, she couldn't remember when Zhen Cairen got involved with King Changle!
"What did my sister hide from me?" Su Yan's eyes turned cold, and Zhen Cairen also stood up and approached slowly. Su Yan had to take a few steps back to avoid her.

All of a sudden, the talent Zhen made a quick move, pushed Su Yan back suddenly, and said softly, "The prince told his concubine that he wants to send you here, don't blame the imperial concubine!"

The heavy rain was pouring, and the pavilions were paved with jade, and they were adjacent to the waterfall, so the ground was slippery.

Su Yan never expected that Zhen Cairen would act like this. She was so powerful that she knocked Su Yan straight out. The railings had been tampered with in advance, and they were in vain.

Everything happened so suddenly, Su Yan could only feel the world spinning in the blink of an eye, and her whole body flew out together with the rain curtain.

In the dark, no one can see clearly.

Before the voice in the throat came out, it had already begun to fall rapidly.

Su Yan's eyes dimmed, and the last thing she felt was when she heard Zhen Cairen's voice screaming, "Hurry up, hurry up, the imperial concubine slipped down accidentally!"
