The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 201 Huang Quan's Death
"Then Miss Ye is going to marry someone else soon, why are you still holding grudges?" The emperor's face was full of puzzlement: "Physician Zheng did nothing wrong, why are you so cruel?"

"Your Majesty, who is the more absurd in this matter?" After hearing this, Concubine Rong Gui immediately shot out hatred and disgust in her tearful eyes, and said word by word: "A woman who has been a crown princess, how can she be so ridiculous?" Can you marry again? Doesn't this make the entire royal family a laughing stock?"

"Mother Concubine! This matter is something that I begged my father to agree to! If you want to blame, you can blame Erchen!" Before the emperor could speak, Li Yu rushed to say: "It is not her fault to be a princess , On the contrary, she saved my son's life, she even saved the lives of so many people and relieved the crisis of the court, so why can't she be freed with so many people?"

"You!" Concubine Rong was rendered speechless by these words. She turned her head and ignored Li Yu, but begged the emperor bitterly: "Your Majesty! As the master of this world, you will not Can you just watch the court become a laughing stock?"

"What I am more concerned about is why you killed Imperial Physician Zheng." The emperor was unmoved, and said in a cold tone: "He is an old man, so he shouldn't do anything to make you unhappy, right? "

After hearing this, Concubine Rong gritted her teeth secretly, and immediately said as if she was going all out: "Your Majesty! Do you really believe that Imperial Physician Zheng is innocent? If he kept that matter secret, I wouldn't..."

"You won't kill him either, will you?" The emperor took the conversation and said coldly: "Concubine Rong, you have disappointed me too much."

After hearing this, Concubine Rong trembled, but she was speechless.

"Miss Ye disregarded her own safety and saved Yu'er's life by picking herbs. This matter should not have been hidden from Yu'er." The emperor said in a deep voice: "You are afraid that Yu'er will know about this, and you will never forget Miss Ye even more , and throw aside the princess you chose for him, right?"

Concubine Rong bowed her head and did not speak.

"Forget it! That's the way it is, it's pointless to talk about it any longer." The emperor sighed, feeling disgusted by Concubine Rong's appearance of doing something wrong and not saying a word, he turned his head and never looked at her again glance.

"Prince, you will supervise the affairs of Imperial Doctor Zheng. It must be done in a more grand manner. I will posthumously designate him as the head of the Imperial Hospital, and the children of the Zheng family can enter the Imperial Hospital as long as they study medicine." The emperor said slowly .

Li Yu quickly agreed: "I respect you!"

"I'll leave it to you here. As for Concubine Rong, she will be banned for half a year as a warning to others." The emperor said, turned and left.

Hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Rong's complexion suddenly changed, and she became white in an instant. Even when she killed Zheng Taiyi and was exposed by her son, she had never been so panic-stricken.

"Good! Good! I really gave birth to a good son!" After the emperor left, Concubine Rong sneered, turned her head to Li Yu and said word by word: "I didn't expect it to be carried in your hands in the end!"

"When Concubine Mother came today, Imperial Physician Zheng had already said everything that needed to be said. I think Concubine Mother must be clear about this." Facing Concubine Rong's accusation, Li Yu looked expressionless, and there was even a kind of embarrassment in his eyes. His expression was almost cold, and his voice was also very cold: "At this time, it doesn't matter whether he dies or not, but mother and concubine, you still kill him, even if this person cured your son with your own hands."

"Didn't Ms. Ye cure your illness?" Concubine Rong immediately sneered after hearing this, "Doctor Zheng dares to pretend to be a benefactor, it depends on whether he is qualified enough!"

"Concubine Mother is willing to believe in Zhaoqing's medical skills now?" Li Yu smiled mockingly after hearing this, "It's really ridiculous. At that time in the palace, Concubine Mother refused to believe her no matter what. At that time, it was really Zhaoqing who came into the palace to treat the illness of the minister, wouldn't the mother and concubine obstruct it?"

"Zhaoqing is clear about this, that's why she taught Imperial Physician Zheng the method." Li Yu said word by word: "If Imperial Physician Zheng hadn't been working hard in the palace for half a month day and night with the benevolence of a doctor, how could I have done this?" Maybe it will get better? Is the concubine mother planning to turn a blind eye to this kindness?"

Every time he said a word, Concubine Rong's face darkened.

By the time Li Yu finished speaking, her face had turned pale.

"Of course the mother and concubine you mentioned know it, but Ye Zhaoqing is not suitable for this palace, and the concubine does not want Dr. Zheng to die, but if he does not die, you will see him every day in the palace, and you will think of Ye Zhaoqing , This is absolutely not allowed by the concubine mother!"

"It turns out that you killed Imperial Physician Zheng because of this." After hearing this, Li Yu's beautiful face suddenly showed a hint of pain: "I am the original sin!"

The painful look on Li Yu's face deeply shocked Concubine Rong. She was so shocked that she didn't make a sound for a long time.

After a long time, Li Yu's face returned to normal. He glanced at Concubine Rong and said, "Concubine Mother, you can relax. From now on, I won't try to take care of you again, because from now on, she is mine. elder sister."

Saying that, without looking at Concubine Rong again, he ordered the palace servants to move the body of Imperial Physician Zheng into the imperial chariot, and he wanted to personally send him back to Zheng's house.

Concubine Rong stood there blankly, watching Li Yu's movements, embarrassment flashed across her face!

The husband left without looking back, and so did the son!

Almost in an instant, everything she cared about was leaving her, which made Concubine Rong, who had always been calm, a trace of pain appear on her face.

Li Yu didn't see the pain on Concubine Rong's face, his figure strode away after the imperial chariot.

The death of Imperial Physician Zheng caused an uproar across the country.

In order to cover up Concubine Rong's crimes, the emperor announced to the outside world that the imperial doctor Zheng died suddenly, and died on the way to the palace to pay his respects.

All the palace servants and eunuchs who had seen Dr. Zheng that day disappeared overnight. Everyone in the palace was in danger and no one dared to talk about it.It's fine for the courtiers to discuss with the common people for a while.

After all, the one who died was just an imperial doctor, not a powerful person.

However, this Imperial Physician Zheng is a bit special.

After all, he cured the prince's illness when everyone was helpless.Just this one thing is a great merit.

On the day of Zheng imperial physician's funeral, Crown Prince Li Yu went to see him off in person, participated in the whole process of the burial, and even knelt in Zheng's mourning hall for an entire hour.

This incident shocked the ruling and opposition parties in an instant.

That's the prince!Going to kneel down in the mourning hall of a courtier is something only filial sons do. Li Yu just went there without any hesitation, without thinking about the consequences of this matter at all.

When everyone was discussing, Murong Shen was the first to stand up.

"Your Majesty, the illness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was cured after half a month of painstaking efforts by Imperial Doctor Zheng. It can be said that without Imperial Physician Zheng, His Highness the Crown Prince would not be where he is today. His Highness the Crown Prince thanked him for his kindness, knelt down in the mourning hall, and even Sending off the spirit, it can be seen that His Royal Highness is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and His Highness should reward him!"

Hearing this, the courtiers immediately talked about it.

Yushi Zuo immediately stood up and retorted: "Master Taifu, what you said is wrong! What Zheng Taiyi did was just what a courtier should do. His Royal Highness is grateful for his kindness, go to him It’s enough to pay homage, and you must not lose the dignity of the country! The prince is a prince after all, how can you guard his spirit like the son of Zheng Taiyi? It is an insult to the country’s prestige!”

"Lord Zuo's words are wrong!" Murong Shen immediately shook his head after hearing this, "I am no longer a tutor, please be more careful with your words."

"Not Tai Tuo? How should I call you?" Zuo Yushi was taken aback when he heard this, then turned his head and cupped his hands at the emperor sitting on the throne: "Your Majesty, the son of Murong is not too old anymore. Fu, he probably doesn't have the qualifications to go to the Golden Palace, right?"

The implication is that this is the place where important officials of the imperial court discuss state affairs, and you, a person without an official position, are not worthy of standing here.

Not worthy to speak.

"It doesn't matter." The emperor waved his hands after hearing this and said, "I am considering how to give Murong Shizi a proper position. He is so capable, so I will not let him go!"

"Ah?" Zuo Yushi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he was speechless, and the expression on his face instantly became a little complicated.

Murong Shen suddenly resigned from the position of Taifu, and the emperor did not immediately assign him another position. Everyone in the court was waiting to see his jokes, especially when everyone heard some faint rumors that Murong Be careful when marrying the former princess.

Since then, many people have stood against Murong Shen one after another, even those who were close friends with him in the past.

But Murong Shen didn't care about all of this.

"I think what Prince Murong said is right." The emperor slowly opened his mouth at this time: "The most important thing in life is to know how to respect the old and love the young, and to repay the kindness. Imperial doctor Zheng is old and has the desire to treat the prince. Gong, his death made the prince very sad, but I just went to worship in his mourning hall, I don't mind, what do you mind?"

"Your Majesty, this will be ridiculed by the world..." A literati spoke again unwilling to be lonely.

But the emperor's words made him dare not say a word: "People in the world know that the prince treats his savior like this, and they will only support him more!"

Suddenly, no one spoke anymore.

The corner of Murong Shen's mouth immediately evoked a smile, and when he turned his head, his gaze met Li Yu who was standing beside the emperor.

The next moment, Li Yu calmly turned his gaze away.

Three days later, the emperor's imperial decree to marry Murong Shen was issued.

Murong Shen, the youngest Taifu in this dynasty, handsome and unrivaled crushes the crown prince, a superb man who is over 28 years old and has not yet married, he is actually going to get married, and the person to marry is a Lin Xiangyi daughter who has never been seen before, This matter instantly became hot news in Beijing.

All of a sudden, there was an endless stream of people visiting the Duke of Shangding's mansion to give gifts, and many people went to Lin Xiang's mansion to find out who the righteous daughter was, but no one had ever seen the legendary Miss Li.

Yes, Ye Zhaoqing changed her surname. She changed her surname to that of her previous life.

Murong Shen has basically done nothing these days, he just visited Prime Minister Lin in person the day before the imperial decree was issued, and no one knows what they talked about.

……

On this day, another major event happened in Beijing.

Huang Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was assassinated suddenly on his way to court, and was fatally stabbed. He followed the guards and others to escape, scattered, and when he was sent back home, he had already died.

Under the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the streets where people come and go, such a shocking thing actually happens!The one who died was actually Huang Quan, the well-known official Huang Quan who was under the care of the empress dowager.

The emperor was furious in an instant, and immediately sent several people to investigate the matter, but after checking and checking, there was no clue.

In order to appease the Huang family and appease the hearts of the people, the emperor made three orders in a row.

The next day, notices were posted on all the streets and alleys, and if anyone could find any clues, as long as they had a little clue, they could go to the government to receive a reward.

No one noticed that Huang Quan died the day before his fiftieth birthday.

……

Ever since the third prince married Ye Xiangwan as his concubine, he ordered people to plant begonias in the back garden of the mansion. Not long after, everyone in the capital knew that the third prince loved the third concubine like a madman. .

In the winter of this year, the third prince ordered some crabapple plants to be moved into the greenhouse. What is strange is that the crabapple flowers bloomed in this winter.

In the midwinter season, the third prince had nothing to do in the mansion, so he spent most of the day in the greenhouse. He didn't know when, his love for begonias had almost become crazy, and he didn't even go to the third princess's place very often.

But no one in the Three Princes' Palace felt that the princess had fallen out of favor. There were two reasons. One was that the three princesses were pregnant now, and her belly was as big as a bucket, and she was about to give birth soon.The second is that the crabapple tree was planted by the third prince for the princess. If he loves crabapple so much, why doesn't he love the princess too?
But what is strange is that since the third princess became pregnant, the third prince has not rested with her once.

On this day, the Third Prince was soaking in the greenhouse, and the sound of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the mansion.

The next moment, people saw the third prince who had been staying in the flower room come out with a livid face, went directly to the study without saying a word, and dismissed all the servants.

What happened?People looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't dare to ask more questions.

In the study room, the Third Prince's face was ashen, and he asked in a low voice to his confidant in front of him: "What's going on? Huang Quan passed by on the street, but was assassinated? Is this what the East Palace did?"

"Back to the lord, shouldn't it be? Then Miss Ye and Prince Murong are going to get married next month. With his character, it's too late to secretly grieve. How can he have the time to deal with Huang Quan?"

"Then tell me, who actually assassinated Huang Quan?" The Third Prince asked with a pale face.

Huang Quan is a very important pawn in his hand, losing him is equivalent to losing a right-hand man!

"This subordinate doesn't know..." The confidant said with some trepidation: "Isn't it Prince Murong? But he is busy getting married these days, so how could he care about other things?"

"There is no need for him to do anything about getting married. Naturally, the people of Dingguo's mansion will take care of it!" The third prince immediately sneered when he heard this: "Murong Shen just needs to pick up a marriage when the time comes. When he still cares about other things?"

"It's my subordinates who made a mistake." The confidant quickly apologized, and then asked: "Then, my lord, what should we do now?"

"The person is already dead, what else can I do?" After hearing this, the third prince's eyes suddenly showed a glimmer of gloom: "There is no way, we can only find someone to replace the loophole left by Huang Quan. Can't be replaced by someone, damn it! So suddenly, where can I ask this king to find this person?"

As he said that, he raised his eyes to look at his confidant, and said in a deep voice: "Go and watch the Huang family, and if there is any movement in the direction, come back and report to me immediately!"

"Yes! Your lord!" The guard responded, and immediately turned around and retreated.

The third prince's face was cloudy and uncertain, he stood there quietly for a while, and suddenly shouted outside the house: "Come here! Change clothes for this king!"

"Yes! My lord! Are you going to enter the palace?" A maid immediately walked in and asked respectfully.

"Yes!" The third prince nodded, and went into the inner room with a gloomy face.The maid hurriedly followed.

Soon, the third prince changed into the clothes he had entered the palace, and hurried out of his yard. Outside the gate, the carriage was ready.

His gloomy face made none of the maidservants dare to speak, and there was a look of panic on their faces.

But the third prince, who was walking briskly, didn't notice this.

When he was about to reach the second gate, he suddenly saw an unexpected person.

Ye Xiangwan.

She still had that unparalleled face, standing there and eclipsing everything around her, but her flat belly had already bulged, and Ye Xiangwan was now six months pregnant.

In another three months, the third prince's fourth son will be born.

Compared with the excitement of the previous three births, this time he seemed very calm, even a little calm. The third prince hadn't been to Ye Xiangwan's place for almost a month. Seeing him at this time, his reaction Not surprise, but surprise.

It turns out that pregnant women are almost the same?

He suddenly thought.

"My lord." Ye Xiangwan stood under a flower tree, and seemed to be taken aback when she saw the third prince, but she quickly realized that she walked slowly to the third prince's side and bowed to him.

"The princess is inconvenient, so don't salute." The third prince waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, my lord!" Ye Xiangwan agreed, and then slowly got up, with a smile on his lips: "Where are you going, my lord?"

"This king is coming to the palace." The third prince glanced at her, as if he was very dissatisfied with her interrogation, and then his eyes sank, and said: "You stay at home well, don't run around if you have nothing to do, my name is Quan Hai I'll take you there."

As he said that, he turned his head and waved his hand at a tall and mighty guard beside him.

The guard immediately stepped forward, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Princess, I will send you back."

Ye Xiangwan didn't look at him, but took a fixed look at the third prince, then turned around while holding his belly, and left slowly.

The third prince hurriedly glanced at her back, then turned around and asked the people beside him quickly, "Has the carriage been ready?"

While speaking, he strode out.

"It's ready to answer the prince's words." A guard replied respectfully.

The third prince nodded, and his steps became faster and faster.

This trip into the palace, he didn't walk out of the palace gate exhausted until dusk.

"My lord! Are you going to the study or the Xuanjing Pavilion?" As soon as he entered the mansion, the guard beside him asked in a low voice, speaking cautiously.

The third prince's complexion is very bad, things in the palace are not going smoothly at all, they had better be careful.

"Is the princess resting at this time?" Unexpectedly, the third prince suddenly asked such a sentence.

The guard was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied: "Go back to the prince, at this time, the princess should have dinner, there is no way she can rest."

"That's right." The third prince nodded when he heard the words, and immediately turned around and walked to the courtyard where Ye Xiangwan lived: "I told people not to pass the meal. This king will go to the princess's to have a meal tonight."

"Yes, my lord!" The guard replied in a low voice, following behind in small steps.

"By the way, what about Quanhai and others? I don't seem to have seen him when I left the palace today?" The third prince suddenly asked as he walked.

The guard was stunned when he heard the words: "My lord, this subordinate is not clear!"

"Forget it! Let me ask for nothing!" The third prince turned his head to concentrate on walking, and did not speak again.

When he smiled, his face was round and kind, but when he didn't smile, the coldness on his face seemed to be worse than the emperor's anger.

However, only the servants of the Third Prince's Mansion knew this truth, and the emperor would never know it, because it was absolutely impossible for him to see the Third Prince's appearance like this.

The courtyard where Ye Xiangwan lived was originally the courtyard of the Third Prince himself. It was very close. When the guard was still bowing his head in thought, he suddenly heard the sound of everyone kneeling and bowing, followed by a voice asking for peace: "Your servant, see Lord!"

"Get up!" The third prince walked towards the courtyard without even looking at the crowd.

The four spacious main rooms are brightly lit. Ye Xiangwan is not asleep without asking. meal.

Seeing this scene, the third prince's gloomy face didn't change, and when the light came on, his face seemed to be even uglier.

"My lord, the princess didn't know you were coming tonight, so..." The guard thought the third lord was angry, so he quickly explained in a low voice.

But he had only spoken halfway, and there was no shadow of the Third Prince in front of his eyes, and he looked again, and he had already strode up the steps in front of the main house.

The guard swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach.

In the room, the smell of food was overflowing. Following the arrangement of the maids, a table of delicious food was presented in front of Ye Xiangwan, but she didn't seem to have much appetite, so the maid served a bowl of steaming fresh fish The soup was placed in front of her, she shook her head and said, "Take it away! I don't want to eat it."

"Then, Wangfei, what do you want to eat, and the servant will pick it up for you?" the maid asked in a low voice.

Ye Xiangwan lazily raised his eyes and glanced at the food in front of him, with a dull expression on his face: "It's all these big fish and meat, I'm tired of eating them, let's go! I do not want to eat!"
