in the sound of swallows

Chapter 179 Just leave it to me
"What?" Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Mr. Zhongjun still has no intention of resigning from office and returning to his hometown, right?"

Mentioning this matter, Gu Chaobei felt a little embarrassed.Yan'er has already imprisoned Mrs. Shen's Bao family in the sky prison. It stands to reason that if Shen Shiqing resigns and returns to his hometown, then he, the son-in-law, can give him another step, demote Bao's family to common people, and send them back home together. It's also compassion.

But Zhong Junhou didn't move at all, the Ministry of Criminal Justice had already reported the decision to execute Bao Shi, and Gu Chaobei even mentioned it in the court.

Shen Shiqing didn't beg for mercy, didn't say much, and even knelt out and shouted: "Killing for life, Your Majesty is wise."

Bao's life was really miserable. He was betrayed by his own daughter, and his husband had no intention of saving her at all.

The documents have been issued, and Bao will be beheaded in the street in two days.In order to get rid of himself, Shen Shiqing straightened an aunt, and gave Bao's letter of divorce. When she was beheaded, she would not even collect her body.

He didn't have time to tell Yan'er about this.

Shen Guiyan understood Gu Chaobei's expression, pursed her lips and said: "The concubine wants to leave the capital for four months, take the emperor to seek a famous doctor in Xishan, and heal the emperor's legs. During these four months, the emperor can think about it." There is no way to get rid of the Shen family, and the courtiers and concubines will never stop it."

In fact, it was a good idea, Gu Chaobei probably didn't attack the Shen family because he was worried about her.It would be much easier if she wasn't there.

However, the emperor shook his head without thinking, "No."

Shen Guiyan frowned: "Why not?"

"The Shen family's foundation is already deep, so it's not easy to clear it up." The emperor said at the beginning: "You don't have to avoid it. If the Shen family makes a big mistake and I can't protect it, I will naturally deal with it. There is no fault now, you are gone. , I can't do anything."

Still want to continue.

"But, Huang'er's leg..." Shen Guiyan pursed her lips. The Shen family's affairs are secondary, and seeking medical treatment for Huang'er is the main thing, right?

Gu Chaobei hugged her resentfully: "There is a famous doctor, I can send someone to invite him, why do you have to go in person? Four months is less than half a year, you are willing to leave me without any hesitation?"

In the past, I really wanted a son, but now I feel that it is too early. She hasn't loved him enough, so she has to share some of her love with a brat who hasn't even grown a hair yet, and now she has to leave the capital for that kid ?

Shen Guiyan couldn't laugh or cry: "Your Majesty, that is also your son."

"Because he is my emperor's son, you don't have to worry about this every day." Gu Chaobei said firmly: "Even if he can't stand up all his life, he can still inherit my throne, and he can stand taller than all the people in the world. .”

He just didn't want to be separated from her for such a long time, and there were obviously other ways.

Shen Guiyan was silent, the smile on his face slowly dissipated, and finally returned to peace.

Gu Chaobei quickly came over and coaxed softly: "I will send someone to Xishan to seek medical treatment tomorrow, and when I have news, I will tell you right away, okay?"

"En." The emperor's words were irreversible, and what he said was not unreasonable. There was a little dissatisfaction in his heart, but Shen Guiyan still suppressed it and said nothing.

When Xu Mengdie came into the palace the next day to ask, Shen Guiyan could only regretfully say: "The emperor ordered someone to seek medical treatment, and asked me to wait for news in the palace."

Xu Mengdie frowned slightly: "It is said that the miracle doctor is very arrogant, and it is estimated that he will not be able to find it if he is just looking for it."

What can I do?Shen Guiyan lowered her eyes, went to see the emperor's son today, the child didn't even look at her, just sat on the thick carpet, playing with the new little maid.

The little maid's name was Nuo'er, and after a search, she found out that she was the daughter of Guilan, the maid who was close to Gao Jinxiu.

In Gao Jinxiu's year, Shen Guiyan released her from the palace and planned to marry her and her sweetheart according to the agreement.But at that time, there were wars all over the place, and it was said that the person Jinxiu liked died on the battlefield and never came back.

So Mrs. Gao now lives alone in her former residence in the capital, calling herself a widow.Shen Guiyan would visit her when she was free. In order to thank her for staying to help her give birth, she even asked the emperor to call her Erniang. The relationship is not insignificant.Since she was the daughter of Guilan beside her, Shen Guiyan naturally didn't punish her too much.

Jinxiu said that Guilan's daughter was naughty, because Guilan had to serve her and had no time to take care of her, so she was sent to the old mother who was still in the palace to help teach her the rules.

That's why he accidentally bumped into the eldest prince that day.

Although it always sounded that something was wrong, Shen Guiyan let Nuoer stay by the eldest prince's side, and only asked Bao Shan to watch more, and if there was any abnormality, she would report back immediately.

She doesn't ask for anything else now, as long as the emperor can grow up safely and happily, it will be fine.

"By the way, I heard recently that Fanbang seems to be giving something extraordinary this year." Xu Mengdie raised his eyes and said, "Do you still remember what I said earlier?"

Xu Mengdie said too much, Shen Guiyan looked at her: "Which sentence?"

"No matter how small Fanbang is, it should not be underestimated." Xu Mengdie said meaningfully: "Before Fanbang came to the court, the beauties sent by the emperor were confiscated, and the face was lost at the state banquet. When the Wen family rebelled, Fanbang did not use troops to help the emperor. , just a wait-and-see attitude. When I come back to Beijing, if there is another beauty to offer, what will the empress do?"

There is no concubine in the sixth palace, and Shen Guiyan mentioned that it can fill the harem, but Gu Chaobei refused on the grounds of "saving expenses".In fact, today's world is rich in food and the people are rich, and it is not at all the turn of the emperor's harem to reduce expenses.He said that just to make her happy.

She had already rejected the foreign marriage last time, if there is another one this time...she doesn't mind Gu Chaobei accepting it, after all, she is already the queen now.

But when he accepted it, she took Huang'er to seek a doctor, and both sides were just right.

To put it bluntly, sitting on the seat of the queen is to allow my husband to favor others, while secretly gritting my teeth.

"You don't have to worry about Bengong, I have a sense of proportion." Shen Guiyan smiled at Xu Mengdie: "It's been three years, and there is nothing that can make Bengong lose his composure."

Xu Mengdie was taken aback for a moment, then pursed his lips and smiled: "That's very good."

Feeling a little uncomfortable, as soon as Xu Mengdie left, Shen Guiyan went to find the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager Nian has been in good spirits lately, probably because her son is capable. When he sits with his legs crossed, he can spit out a parabola from the skin of melon seeds.

"The Ai family sees you every day with this sad face." The Empress Dowager Nian squinted at Shen Guiyan and said, "Aren't you happy to be a queen?"

"No." Shen Guiyan looked at the Empress Dowager Nian dumbfoundedly and said: "The concubine is just thinking that it is impossible for the harem to remain empty all the time. If there is a suitable person, it is time to choose to enter the palace."

The Empress Dowager Nian snorted coldly, turned her lips around, and spit out a melon seed shell on the luxurious carpet: "Don't tell the Ai family these scenes. The Ai family also came from your stage. Do you know what you are thinking? My son has My legs are sick, and I am in a bad mood all day long, afraid that the emperor will get tired of me, so I just got some newcomers into the palace early, so that the emperor will not be seduced by other unfamiliar goblins in the future, right?"

The corner of her mouth moved slightly, but Shen Guiyan remained silent.

Older gingers are more spicy.

The Empress Dowager Nian snorted: "Do you think Aijia never persuaded the emperor to fill the harem?"

Shen Guiyan was taken aback for a moment, then raised her head.

"Don't stare at people, you are also a mother, so naturally you should understand how Aijia feels." The Empress Dowager Nian muttered: "Aijia asked the emperor, the queen was depressed all day long, and she rarely talked, and she would not change ways to make the emperor happy. , why only she is alone in the palace."

"Guess what the emperor said?"

Shen Guiyan looked up at the Empress Dowager Nian and pursed her lips.

The Empress Dowager Nian snorted softly, this girl is really lucky, she happened to be a lover when she met her son.

"She's depressed, doesn't talk much, and doesn't know how to make Erchen happy. In fact, it doesn't matter. Erchen likes her like this. She only needs to say what she wants to say, do what she wants to do, and leave the rest to Erchen. .”

That's what the emperor said at the time.

Shen Guiyan was slightly stunned, her heart seemed to be hit lightly by a warm fist, her ears turned red.

"So Aijia looks at you, so you don't have to worry about so many things at all. The eldest prince's legs and feet are not good, you just wait for the emperor to seek medical treatment. The emperor doesn't want to accept the harem, so you can just cover the quilt and have fun secretly, don't force yourself to smile You want to be a good empress. You should have lived a comfortable life, but you have been thinking too much recently."

Enlightened, Shen Guiyan suddenly realized that she seemed to be mediocre recently, and she didn't know what was going on, she always thought so much about what she had and what she didn't have.

After leaving the Beigong, Shen Guiyan felt better. Baoshan supported her and said with a smile: "It's still the empress dowager who has great wisdom. Forgive me for saying it bluntly. When Luo Yexuan comes out, he seems to be in a bad mood."

is it?Shen Guiyan smiled, probably because her recent emotions are not easy to control.

Shangyuan Festival, Lantern Festival.The emperor was busy with political affairs early in the morning, and corrected all the notes that had been accumulated for a long time. At dusk, he happened to bring Shen Guiyan out. Both of them were in normal clothes, followed by Zhuiyun and Baoshan, to watch the excitement.

It stands to reason that with her current status, the empress should not travel so casually.Gu Chaobei made arrangements in advance, and because Yan'er was in a bad mood, he specially asked the Empress Dowager Nian for permission to take her out to relax.

"Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely act in a low-key manner and will not attract attention." Gu Chaobei swore to the Empress Dowager Nian before leaving.

As a result, now, he and Yan'er were blocked by the people on the float.

There are a lot of girls in Huaichun, the capital city. The emperor wanted to take Shen Guiyan to join in the fun. He sat on a float to watch the beautiful scenery of the river lantern, but he was blocked on the street.The girls around kept throwing fruit, handkerchiefs and scented towels on the car, listen carefully, and some courageous girls shouted enthusiastically: "Whose son is this, do you still have room at home?"

Gu Chaobei smiled dryly, looked back at Shen Guiyan, Shen Guiyan covered her face with a light veil, and had no intention of saving him at all, but said instead: "Young master has a spare room of three thousand, whoever can please you, if you don't keep it all, you can follow him back home."
