Rebirth after waste

Chapter 120

The emperor was hesitating how to deal with this matter, but news suddenly spread in the palace that the empress Ling Shuyuan fainted in the garden of the Cuiyu Palace because of the sudden death of her good sister.

The emperor has always had a good impression of this cold and talented woman, and he would definitely visit her in the past.But now that the timing is delicate, he chose to avoid it, and only ordered the imperial doctor to take care of it.

Three days after Jiang Yuechang passed away, the emperor's treatment of her finally came to an end.Considering that she was pregnant before, in order to avoid endangering the fetus, the emperor never formally condemned her.Although she is dead now, the things she has done have to be dealt with. Otherwise, the anger caused by her before is not a joke?

More importantly, only when her crimes are punished can Yunniang's restoration be reasonable and irrefutable.

The ministers didn't know the emperor's specific thoughts, but heard that His Majesty planned to abolish Ming Xiuyi as a commoner at first, and finally changed it to Hui'e under the persuasion of the concubine Xian.Although humble, at least she recognized her status as a concubine and could get a shelter in the corner of the concubine's bedroom in Pingling Mausoleum.

Thinking about it this way, the whole court began to praise again, saying that the concubine Xian is really magnanimous, she is a model of the mother of the country, and her restoration is a matter of course.

As Hui'e, Jiang Yuechang didn't get any decent funeral at all, so she was hastily put into a thin coffin and carried out of the palace.Everyone thought that she was carried to the concubine's bed in Pingling according to the rules, but in fact, after those people carried the coffin out of the city, they found a random field and buried the concubine who once lived in the golden palace and accompanied the emperor. went in.

Because there was no monument or mark, she could no longer be found after a few months.

Gu Yunxian was the only person who knew about this matter other than the emperor and those who were in charge.One night later, she offered a cup of tea with bare hands, and asked calmly, "Why did Your Majesty do this?"

The emperor was reading a booklet, and without raising his head when he heard the words, he said casually, "What?"

"Mr. Jiang." Gu Yunxian said, "My concubine heard from Lord Lu that you didn't let her be buried in the Concubine's Garden in Pingling."

"Oh, this is what I asked Lu Chuan to tell you." He always remembered that he had promised her that he would not hide anything from her except for military affairs, "I don't want her to go there, otherwise we will all live together after a hundred years." You are so close, and you still have to listen to her yelling all day long."

The matter of life and death was said so easily by him, as if it was a joke.

Back then, Jing Fushu made a big mistake, and eventually got the status of Jieyu, and was buried in the concubine's garden in a serious manner, but now Jiang Yuechang's bones are wandering.Comparing the hatchback, the emperor's treatment of Jiang Yuechang was indeed much more ruthless.But Gu Yunxian was not surprised.His relationship with Jiang Yuechang was not as deep as it was with Jing Fushu.Jiang Yuechang's temperament is too domineering and flamboyant. When I see her occasionally, I think she is straightforward and cute, but if I see her too much, I will get bored.

Some time ago, Jiang Yuechang tossed so many things that he had already tired of her.

Gu Yunxian was silent for a moment, "Then why did His Majesty still say that the Jiang family was buried in Pingling?"

The emperor finally raised his eyes and squinted at her, "You don't know why?"

She turned her back, "I don't know."

He looked at her blankly for a moment, then suddenly dropped the bag and pulled her into his arms.Gu Yunxian had expected her to act like this, so he was not surprised, and his expression was very calm.

The emperor lowered her a little, let her lie half on his lap, with her neck resting on his arm, looking up at him.

He lowered his head and touched the tip of her nose, "Say it again, do you know?"

She rolled her eyeballs, and repeated in a shameless way: "If you say you don't know, then you don't know. Your Majesty, it's useless to force your concubines."

He looked at her amusedly, and scratched her nose with his hand, "Little heartless!"

He sat up straight, and Gu Yunxian got up a little bit, and snuggled into his arms, feeling a little complicated.

She naturally knew why.

The so-called "Xianfei dissuades His Majesty from abolishing Ming Xiuyi to become a commoner" is just the news he released, in order to give her a more virtuous reputation.In the same way, falsely claiming that Jiang was buried in the concubine's garden in Pingling is just to highlight her generosity.

He has really tried his best for her now.

After Jiang's final ending was reported, everyone discussed it for a while.

Compared with the things she did, this fate is really reasonable. Presumably, even her family members have nothing to say, they can only blame their daughter for not living up to expectations.

The dead are of little importance in this palace, and soon everyone put this matter behind them and focused on more important things.

Who will Jiang Yuechang's son be raised by?

At first everyone thought it was Ling Shuyuan, but who knew that she fell ill at this critical moment.Naturally, the patient cannot take care of the newborn, and even if it is handed over to her, it will have to wait until she recovers.

So before that, the fourth son of the emperor was still raised in Hanzhang Hall, under the care of the concubine Xian.But soon, everyone heard the news that Concubine Xian was pregnant and couldn't work hard, and His Majesty didn't seem to like the child staying there, so he meant to find a new mother for him as soon as possible.

On the fifth day of May, during the Dragon Boat Festival, you can drink cinnabar, realgar, and calamus wine, eat rice dumplings, enjoy pomegranate flowers, wear mugwort leaves, combine various medicines, and draw healing charms.With so many play items, it has always been a festival that the women in the palace look forward to.

However, this year's Dragon Boat Festival is destined to be hastily spent.

During this period of time, the uterus is fully preparing for the Queen's Closure Ceremony, and I really can't spare much energy to make arrangements for the Dragon Boat Festival.In the end, it was Gu Yunxian who came forward and invited everyone from the Six Palaces to gather in Hanzhang Hall, which was regarded as a festival.

Since it was the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor also attended with honor, and everyone drank and laughed together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

In the middle of the small banquet, Gong'e, under Gu Yunxian's order, came out with the fourth son in her arms to present treasures to everyone.

Zhuang Guiji smiled and said: "The concubine sees that the fourth son of the emperor has gained weight and looks better. The empress really does her best to take care of him."

Gu Yunxian said: "I didn't put much thought into it, I have my own palace servants and nurses to take care of me."

Yu Zhaoyi said: "Your Majesty is too modest. Even the concubines have heard that your Majesty cares about everything and helps the fourth prince to take care of everything properly." She looked at Gu Yunxian with a smile, "The concubine looks at you These days can be reduced a lot."

Jincai said humanely: "The concubine Xian is a person with a body, so don't tire yourself out because of the fourth son of the emperor..."

Gu Yunxian smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Yu Zhaoyi suddenly got up and walked to Gong'e, "Let me give you a hug."

Gong'e glanced at Gu Yunxian and saw that she had no objection, so she handed the child to her.

Yu Zhaoyi carefully hugged the baby, teased a few words, and suddenly there was sadness in her eyes.

Jincai asked with concern: "What's wrong with your mother?"

Yu Zhaoyi returned the child to the nurse, lowered her head and adjusted her expression, and looked at the emperor apologetically, "Your Majesty, forgive me, my concubine has lost her manners."

The emperor looked gentle, "What do you remember?"

Yu Zhaoyi pursed her lips, and tears suddenly appeared in her eyes, "Chenqie, I just saw how cute the fourth son of the emperor is, and suddenly thought of Dalang..." Her voice was choked with sobs, "If he is still here , should be six years old now..."

The Da Lang mentioned by Yu Zhaoyi was His Majesty's eldest son, who died of illness when he was one year old, and he never gave birth to a son after that.

Gu Yunxian comforted: "The deceased is gone, Zhu Yang, don't be too sad, be careful not to hurt your body..."

"That's right, today is a holiday, Madam Zhaoyi should think of something happy." Zhuang Guiji persuaded.

"Feng Su, you are right." Yu Zhaoyi forced a smile, and looked at Gu Yunxian, "The concubine was just too emotional, and almost disturbed the empress's banquet, I hope the empress will not be offended." When she said this, she With a sad expression, it is completely a mother who is immersed in the pain of losing her child.

Naturally, Gu Yunxian couldn't blame her for such a thing, and said with a smile: "Where is it? Zhu Yang, you are more important than anything else."

The Rouhua Ruan family who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "Since Lady Zhaoyi misses the eldest son of the emperor so much, and now the fourth son of the emperor has no mother, how about giving it to Lady Zhaoyi to be raised?" Looking at Gu Yunxian, "Anyway, Concubine Xian is pregnant, so she can't spare the energy to take care of the prince."

Yu Zhaoyi's remarks today were intended to be just a few words, and she didn't want to be specific, but she didn't expect that Ruan Rouhua, who was not very familiar with her, would come out to help her, so she was a little surprised.But accidents are accidents, her words are aimed at her anyway, and there is nothing wrong with it, she just breaks the tricks when she sees them.

Thinking of this, she shook her head and said, "I already have a princess in my palace, how dare I ask for more..."

No matter how you say it, there is regret on your face that cannot be ignored.

Ruan Rouhua said: "The eldest princess is already eight years old this year. I have a younger brother who can accompany me more. The siblings grow up together. The relationship will be harmonious in the future. Isn't it a beautiful thing?" Looking at the emperor with a smile, "Your Majesty thinks how?"

Without saying a word, the emperor glanced at Ruan Rouhua, then at Yu Zhaoyi, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Drink first, we will discuss this later."

That night, the emperor sat under the window looking at the moonlight in the sky, and Gu Yunxian leaned beside him.He stroked her shoulder, "I guessed right, Zhuyang really wants to have this child."

Gu Yunxian knew that only by defending Shen Zhuyang at this time would make him feel even more dissatisfied, so he deliberately said: "Maybe Zhuyang really just hopes to have a child to take care of him and relieve loneliness?"

"To relieve loneliness?" The emperor snorted coldly, "She already has daughters, why is she still coveting other people's sons? I don't think she cares much about Shiro, but she only sees him as the prince."

Gu Yunxian lowered his head and stopped talking.

During this time, she said something about Shen Zhuyang when she was with the emperor.Those words were sandwiched among other things, and they were brought up in a joking tone, which seemed very natural.

She praised her for being shrewd and capable, for managing the palace well, and for being extremely capable.However, the emperor has already estimated Shen Zhuyang these days, and hearing Gu Yunxian say this, he will only doubt her intentions even more.

Under such psychological foreshadowing, even if Shen Zhuyang acted naturally and measuredly today, and cleverly used the eldest prince as a cover, the emperor still couldn't believe that she just wanted a son.

He had grown suspicious of her.

Cai Jia walked in through the curtain, and said, "Your Majesty, Majesty, someone wants to see you..."

The emperor was a little puzzled by her vague statement, "Who?"

Cai Jia hesitated for a moment, "Mistress Ling Shuyuan."

Only when the emperor saw Ling Shuyuan did he understand why Caijia had such a hesitant expression.Ling Shuyuan came alone, without a maid, and her clothes were as simple as ordinary palace maids, it seemed that she was trying to avoid the eyes and ears.

He frowned slightly, first supported Gu Yunxian's hand to let her sit down, and then found a seat beside her.

He looked at Ling Shuyuan indifferently, "Why are you here? Doesn't it mean that you are still in good health?" He didn't even attend today's Dragon Boat Festival.

Ling Shuyuan didn't answer his question, but Chief Ji paid homage: "The concubine came here tonight to ask for something!"

"tell me the story."

Ling Shuyuan touched her head to the ground, and said word by word: "I beg Your Majesty, don't hand over the fourth son of the emperor to Yu Zhaoyi for adoption!"
