Luoyang Brocade Chapter 256: Shocked (1)
The prince entered the palace first, followed closely by King Yan and Taisun.
Wei Yan stepped forward to salute, and the prince hummed casually, walked quickly to the side of the dragon collapse, and looked at the emperor with a worried look on his face: "How is my father, the dragon, now?"
The civil and military officials did not dare to look at the emperor carefully. They only knew that the emperor felt unwell and was helped back to the palace. The prince and others were the closest to the emperor at the time, and they were the only ones who could clearly see the emperor's sallow complexion and cold sweat on his forehead.
After the court meeting, there was a palace banquet. The emperor was not present, so the prince and others had to stay and host the palace banquet. After the banquet was over and all the civil and military officials had dispersed, the Crown Prince Yan Wang and the Grand Sun immediately rushed to the Zichen Palace.
The emperor cheered up and said with a smile: "Wei Yan gave me the acupuncture just now, and I am much better now."
To say it is much better is just compared to before. In the eyes of everyone, the emperor's face was still gloomy and frighteningly decadent, giving off the aura of an old and dying tree.
Taking pills indiscriminately, forcing himself to marry his concubine, and refusing to control his diet. If he continues like this for a long time, it would be strange if his body is not exhausted.
However, who would dare to speak out about such an obvious fact in front of the emperor?
Even Prince Donggong and King Yan don’t have the guts.
The King of Yan opened his eyes and told lies: "My father's complexion is indeed much better than before. I can feel relieved when I see this." Then he said with concern: "The health of my father's dragon body is related to Thousands of people are in charge of the country and the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Please take care of the dragon body, my father. Your royal brother will take care of the important matters in the court, so you don’t have to worry, father, just take care of the dragon body with peace of mind."
After saying that, he smiled and said to the prince: "Brother, the emperor has to worry about important affairs of the court. Father, let me take care of him."
This mouth was filled with a series of sweet words, which made the emperor happy. Looking at his beloved youngest son, his eyes are filled with adoration.
The prince smiled calmly and nodded in agreement: "Then I will help my fifth brother."
The grandson of the emperor, who had been silent until now, also took a step forward: "The emperor's grandfather is ill, and my grandson is worried about it. He comes to the palace every day to take care of his illness and talk to the emperor to relieve his boredom."
"Okay, okay, you are all filial, and I won't stop you anymore." The emperor liked the youngest son, and even more liked the young and mature eldest grandson. Hearing this, he smiled happily.
King Yan glanced at the emperor's grandson and snorted with half jealousy and half hatred in his heart.
The emperor's grandson caught the unkind gaze of King Yan from the corner of his eye, but remained calm.
Wei Yan has been standing aside silently, taking in the whole scene.
There are no fathers and sons in the Tian family, and no brothers in the royal family! It is not unusual for fathers and sons to turn against each other and kill brothers for the sake of the throne that holds more than ten thousand people. Sooner or later there will be a **** struggle between the Crown Prince and King Yan. I don’t know how many lives will be involved in this overt and covert fight.
And he had already waded into the muddy swamp a long time ago. If you want to save your life and escape safely, you must plan carefully.
"Mr. Wei," the prince's voice interrupted Wei Yan's turbulent thoughts: "You have been diagnosing and treating my father's pulse for several years. You know better than anyone how my father's dragon body is doing these days. , I have to worry about you. As long as you can properly condition your father’s dragon body, I will definitely reward you with great rewards!”
Wei Yan calmed down, cupped his hands and responded: "This is all the responsibility of the ministers. His Highness the Crown Prince said this, and the ministers were frightened."
The prince smiled gently: "You have excellent medical skills, and your acupuncture skills are even more superb. In the past few years, my body has been recovering day by day, and it is indispensable for your contribution. I have kept these in mind. Don't you like it? Gold, silver and worldly things, I devoted myself to studying medical skills. However, the rewards I deserve are always indispensable."
The gentle and generous words make people feel like spring breeze.
This is also the most commendable and beloved thing about the prince.
Empress Xu, Prince Yan, and her son secretly win over powerful officials and work hard around the emperor. Their power is staggering. Even so, it could not really shake the prince's status.
Wei Yan also had to admire him, thanked him with a smile, and then left.
……
At this time, the sky had darkened.
The palace banquet in Jiaofang Palace has ended long ago, and it is time for Wei Jieyu to return to Lingbo Palace.
Wei Yan thought for a moment and then went to Lingbo Hall. Today is the first day of the new year, and he should also meet his eldest sister and Princess Anya.
After entering the Lingbo Hall and meeting Wei Jieyu and her daughter, Wei Yan immediately noticed something was wrong: "This year is the New Year. Queen Jieyu should be happy, but why is she looking sad instead?"
Wei Jieyu waved her hand and signaled the chambermaids to step back, and then said with a wry smile: "Ayan, you don't know what happened in Jiaofang Palace today, right? The Empress praised Miss Ling Jiu in public for her intelligence and pleasantness. He also hinted that he lacked someone around him to talk to and relieve his boredom, and wanted to summon Miss Ling Jiu into the palace."
What?
Wei Yan’s complexion suddenly changed!
His previous hunch was indeed correct. Queen Xu had no intention of letting Ling Jingshu go!
If Ling Jingshu really entered the Jiaofang Palace and got to Queen Xu, she would undoubtedly have stepped into the dragon's den and was in danger...
"What happened next?" Wei Yan still had a glimmer of hope: "Did Ling Jingshu decline politely?"
Wei Jieyu sighed: "No. Not only did she not refuse, she also took the initiative to accept the matter."
Wei Yan's heart suddenly sank.
Why did Ling Jingshu take the initiative to agree to enter the palace? Others don't know Queen Xu's true face, but Ling Jingshu knows it clearly. Knowing that this is a sea of swords and fire, how could she dare to come?
"In the situation at that time, I couldn't stop it even if I wanted to." Wei Jieyu sighed: "I talked too much, but I was afraid that Queen Xu would be unhappy. So, I only said a few words to help. After Shangyuan On festivals, Empress Xu would call her into the palace as a female official, and she could bring two maids with her. Empress Xu could be considered to be extra merciful. ~IndoMTL.com~ Extra merciful?
These are all just for show!
When Luzhu was in Jiaofang Palace, wasn't he treated with special respect and favor? When Queen Xu wanted her life, she never hesitated at all!
A chill flashed in Wei Yan's eyes, and his thin lips pursed tightly.
Seeing him like this, Wei Jieyu felt distressed and reluctant to give up: "Ayan, I know you like her in your heart and are reluctant to let her suffer in the palace. But the situation is stronger than others, so she has to bow her head. Queen Xu is Zhang If she refuses, she will not be allowed to refuse. If she rejects Queen Xu's kindness and refutes Queen Xu's face in Jiaofang Palace today, the days to come will be even more difficult."
Princess Anya also opened her mouth to comfort her: "What my mother and concubine said is true. Uncle, you don't have to worry too much. With my mother and concubine taking care of her, she will not be wronged."
How could they, mother and daughter, know about Queen Xu’s sinister intentions?
Wei Yan suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, squeezed out a smile and nodded. (To be continued.)
