Empress Dowager: Husband, please lie down

Chapter 25 Lifting the ban, the emperor is suspicious

Ruan Eryue and Xiahou Yin's big day was decided in this way, on the eighth day of August.

It's April now, counting with your fingers, the time is a bit tight.

Although Xiahou Yin didn't speak much, anyone could tell that his temperament was very indifferent.However, his identity was so embarrassing.

So, after discussing the matter, Xiahou Yin and Concubine Jing left the General's Mansion, but Ruan Hongwei didn't do much to keep them.

After all, he is loyal to Xiahou Zhu, and because of what happened ten years ago, he somewhat looks down on Prince Jing's mansion now, and doesn't have much respect in it.

Here Ruan Jing and others surrounded Ruan Eryue with long spears and short swords, and there was no peace in Prince Jing's mansion.

Concubine Jing and Xiahou Yin had just got off the carriage when they saw Eunuch Qu Yifang Qu standing beside Xiahou Zhu standing in front of Prince Jing's mansion with a smile on his face, holding a shining imperial edict in his hand.

Looks like it's been a long wait.

Thinking of the same fake smile on his face ten years ago, it was announced that King Jing Xiahouyuan was executed, and Xiahou Yin and her were banned from Prince Jing's mansion for life.Even disregarding her begging, he forcibly poured poisoned wine on the young Xia Hou Yin, which made Xia Hou Yin unable to walk on the ground for so many years...

Princess Jing was originally smiling, but now her face froze.The hands hanging by the sides were slightly tightened, and a fine layer of sweat had already formed on the palms.

She gritted her teeth and stared at Eunuch Qu, but tried her best to make herself look the same as before.

"Ouch, Concubine Jing, Prince Yin, you guys are back! The sun is almost setting while the servants are waiting!"

Eunuch Qu squeezed the orchid fingers, and said with a cold smile, "Today, the servants are here to read out the emperor's imperial edict to Prince Jing's residence. Concubine Jing, Prince Yin, please prepare to receive the edict!"

In the words, where is the self-knowledge that a slave should have?

Even if you are the chief eunuch next to the emperor, in front of Xiahou Yin and Princess Jing, you should ask An to say hello anyway, right?
But look at Eunuch Qu, instead of saying hello, there are many complaints and disrespect.

Concubine Jing had no choice but to lower her head to receive the decree, but seeing that Xiahou Yin was still sitting firmly on the wheelchair and did not intend to kneel down, Eunuch Qu was not in a hurry to read the imperial decree, but only looked at Xiahou Yin with a half-smile , "Shizi Yin, please prepare to receive the order!"

Xiahou Yin's pupils shrank, he gave Qu Gonggong a cold look, and said in a cold voice, "This son is inconvenient in his legs and feet, I am afraid that he cannot kneel down to accept the order, so please read it like this, this son is very respectful to the emperor's imperial edict."

Yes!His legs and feet are inconvenient, so it's impossible to go up and force him to kneel down to receive the order, right?He said respectfully waiting for the imperial decree, who knows what he thinks in his heart...

Eunuch Qu's eyes darkened when he looked at Xiahou Yin, he gritted his teeth, opened the imperial decree in his hand and read out sharply, "By God, the emperor's decree said: The son of Prince Jing's mansion, Xiahou Yin, has now reached the age of marriage, and I miss the brotherhood." , amnesty for him and Concubine Jing to be punished by being banned from Prince Jing’s mansion for life. Order, from now on, Xiahou Yin can participate in the political affairs of the court, and if he performs well, I will definitely reward you heavily! This is my honor.”

Concubine Jing and Xiahou Yin looked at each other indiscriminately. What kind of tricks does Xiahou Zhu, an old fox, want to play?
"Princess Jing, Prince Yin, accept the order!"

Eunuch Qu closed the imperial decree and handed it to Concubine Jing, and said with a sneer, "This is a great gift! I hope that Concubine Jing and Prince Yin will remember the emperor's gift and magnanimity, and don't disappoint the emperor's kindness. Take care of yourself in the future Contributing to the imperial court and assisting the emperor to manage this great river and mountain well, the emperor's kindness is immense!"

"I hope Shizi Yin will remember the emperor's gift and enter the palace to thank the emperor in person someday!"

After all, Eunuch Qu took the people away without looking back.

The imperial decree in her hand was like a hot potato, Princess Jing wanted to tear it up and throw it into the pond!
What Xiahou Zhu did was clearly a pawn to forgive them, to show the world how magnanimous he is as an emperor, and how much he cares about his family.But in fact, through this imperial decree, he threatened them that all this was given by him, and they should thank him gratefully!
Otherwise, why not let Xiahou Yin succeed Prince Jing directly, but still be Prince Jing's son?

What Xiahou Zhu did is probably thinking that Xiahou Yin is no longer the young child he was in the past, and he is married to the general's mansion, which is so powerful in the court.

Even though Ruan Hongwei is Xiahou Zhu's confidant, Xiahou Zhu is suspicious by nature.Ruan Hongwei's daughter married Xiahou Yin, how could he trust Ruan Hongwei as before?

Today's Xiahou Yin has made Xiahou Zhu jealous.

Rather than letting Prince Jing's mansion ignore it like this, it's better to put it under his nose, Xiahou Yin will not dare to play any tricks anymore!
If this is spread, the world will only praise Xiahou Zhu's demeanor as the king of a country.

It has to be said that Xiahou Zhu's move is really brilliant.

After talking with Princess Jing for a few words, Xiahou Yin closed the door and discussed important matters with Ji An and others.

At this moment in the Hall of Qinzheng, Xiahou Zhuzheng looked at Eunuch Qu who was replying with a sneer on his face, and asked in a deep voice, "How is it? Look carefully, are Xiahou Yin's legs really immobile?"

Although he hadn't seen Xiahou Yin walk down the ground for so many years, but every year at the palace banquet, in order to show his magnanimity, he also sent people to Prince Jing's mansion to invite Princess Jing and Xiahou Yin to the palace banquet.

But he was rejected every year, and the spies who were monitoring around Prince Jing's mansion also said that Xiahou Yin was indeed not allowed to go to the ground.It's just that Xiahou Yin is not as easy to control as before...

He secretly cleaned up the eyeliner he had planted in Prince Jing's mansion for so many years, but he couldn't hold his hand!What can Xiahou Yin do?
If it gets out, it will be said that as the king of a country, he can't tolerate the mother and son of Xiahou Yin, who is orphaned and widowed.

This matter has to be started from another aspect...

"Going back to the emperor, this servant is really serious. It is true that Prince Yin cannot go down to the ground. This servant is very sure."

Eunuch Qu hurriedly raised his head, and replied with a sure face.

"Then, did you tell him that you want to enter the palace to thank you?"

It is said that Xiahou Yin is withdrawn, if he is not reminded of this, I am afraid that after ten days and a half a month, he will not be able to wait for him to enter the palace to thank him.

It is better to see with his own eyes whether he has any problems with his legs, so that his heart will be more secure.

"The slave said it."

If he answered or not, the servant couldn't be sure... After all, the servant didn't want to see his sickly appearance, so he turned his head and walked away.

Eunuch Qu naturally didn't dare to say the last sentence, he shrank his neck and replied in a low voice.

"Hahaha, good!"

Xiahou Zhu, who received a satisfactory answer, raised his head and laughed heartily, waved his hand, and ordered, "You go to Kunning Palace to invite the queen over, and say that I have important matters to discuss with her."
