The Favoured Medical Princess: 818 sudden death
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Once the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family really marries Prince Jing, will the Zhennan Palace be willing to accept that the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family is just a mere princess?
Of course not!
The Zhennan Palace will definitely help Prince Jingjun seek the crown prince position!
Everyone in the court knew this, and Han Lingfu naturally understood it, and his heart sank little by little. The eldest emperor brother, the second emperor brother and himself all already have concubines, and Xiao Fei can never be a sidekick. Therefore, among the four adult princes, the fifth emperor brother, who is the only one who has not married, becomes the best candidate!
Could it be that after all the hard work and planning, I ended up making a wedding dress for someone else? !
Han Lingfu clenched his fists tightly, with veins bulging on the back of his hands. He is not willing to give in! He finally pushed the Fifth Emperor's brother into a desperate situation, how could he be allowed to rise again!
At this time, I heard the emperor above say thoughtfully: "Cheng Aiqing, let me postpone this matter for a while and let me think about it for a while before making a decision!"
Following this, the emperor announced his resignation.
Although the emperor has not yet made a decision, Han Lingfu's heart has sunk to a low point, and those members of Gongjun's royal party are looking at each other, and some of them have begun to regret whether they took sides too early.
Looking back at history, the process of seizing the heir often comes with twists and turns. Until the final imperial edict is issued, no one can be sure which prince will have the last laugh!
The morning court ended in this strange atmosphere, and all the civil and military officials left the palace and returned to their homes.
In the next few days, the emperor did not express his position. The capital seemed calm, but there was already a turbulent undercurrent underneath. I don’t know when this false calm will be torn apart...
Three days later, another shocking news spread among the palaces in the royal capital——
Princess Chen of Gongjun died suddenly of serious illness!
This news spread in the blink of an eye, causing ripples in the royal capital. After hearing the news, various governments had mixed thoughts.
White silk ribbons have been hung up inside and outside Prince Gong's mansion. One look at it and it is clear that there is a funeral in Prince Gong's mansion.
The atmosphere in the Prince's Mansion was strange and solemn, with a sense of desolation that everyone felt in danger, especially in the main courtyard. Even the servants in the Mansion took a detour to avoid it.
Only Xinghui Courtyard seems to be isolated from the world, still so quiet and elegant.
At this moment, Bai Muxiao was sitting on the Arhat bed in the East Room. He glanced out the window coldly and said sarcastically: "In just a few years, two concubines were violently killed. He is not afraid. Others say he is a wife-killer!"
Beside Bai Muxiao sat a boy about one year old wearing a thin indigo jacket. The boy was handsome, shy and quiet, sitting on the Arhat bed. He looked at Bai Muxiao for a while, and then looked out the window following Bai Muxiao's line of sight.
The corners of Bai Muxiao's mouth turned up in a disdainful arc. When she thought that the man she once loved so much was so despicable, she felt as if she had swallowed something dirty!
"Han Lingfu is crazy about wanting to be the prince. Does he think that he can get the eldest daughter of the Zhennan Palace to marry?!" Bai Muxiao said, looking away and looking up at the person sitting on her right A middle-aged woman sat on a mahogany armchair next to her.
It was a woman in her early forties, wearing a simple and elegant lake-colored dress. At first glance, she looked like a stewardess. If you look again, you will find that she is sitting there calmly, elegantly and calmly, determined. Not an ordinary woman.
She is Ayimu.
Ayimu held up the white porcelain tea cup and said calmly: "He is just a trapped beast trying to fight..."
The rabbit will bite someone when it is anxious, let alone a man like Han Lingfu who is so ambitious and wants to reach the Dabao!
Ayimu drank tea slowly, half-casting his eyes to hide the sharp light in his eyes.
On the way to the royal capital, Adachi had told her in detail that Kui Lang’s son was named Han Weijun, and he was now raised in the palace of Prince Gong as the crown prince of Prince Gong. Trapped in the addiction to Wuhe ointment, I had to be controlled by their Baiyue...
On February 22nd, Ayimu arrived in the capital, but she did not come to see Bai Muxiao immediately. Instead, she stayed in the inn for a while and learned about the happenings in the capital, especially Gong. The situation in the County Prince's Mansion!
Ayimu originally wanted to take his grandson Han Weijun back to Baiyue and regain control of the Baiyue government in the name of his grandson, but he did not expect that the situation in the capital would be like this——
Han Lingfu, Prince of Gongjun, is only one step away from becoming the crown prince!
Ayimu was moved. Once Han Lingfu "unfortunately" dies suddenly after ascending the throne, then his grandson Han Weijun can naturally ascend the throne as emperor. By then, Dayu will belong to Baiyue!
When he thought of this possibility, Ayimu's blood became excited.
She is determined to stay in King Dayu City and make plans!
After that, Ayimu managed to sneak into Prince Gongjun's mansion and came directly to see Bai Muxiao.
Ayimu openly and honestly revealed her identity to Bai Muxiao and the purpose of her coming to the capital this time. Just as Ayimu expected, Bai Muxiao immediately agreed to cooperate with her.
Ayimu has investigated Bai Muxiao a long time ago and knows about her origins and her experience. She has been able to reach this point. She can be ruthless enough to bear children for other men and still keep them in her husband's name. , is not a person who is willing to be content with the status quo and be ordinary.
Ayimu quite admires Bai Muxiao's unscrupulous determination to achieve his goals. Today's Baiyue does not need a weak mother of the country.
The two have the same goal and hit it off immediately!
Ayimu put down the tea cup and said: "Based on my understanding of the Zhennan Palace, I am afraid that Xiao Fei will not be willing to be a stepmother." Xiao Fei's temperament is quite aloof, so how could she I am willing to become a stepmother who needs to be a concubine to my original wife! The Crown Princess Nangong Yue would probably not agree either...
Bai Muxiao nodded slightly, the sarcasm in his eyes became stronger, and said in his heart: Yes, and he was a man who had killed two legitimate wives and had countless concubines in his house!
He is still a man who turns his back on others and can kill the person next to him at any time!
Thinking about it, Bai Muxiao couldn't help but touch her slender neck. The feeling of almost suffocating to death was like the nightmare last night. At that moment, she really thought she would die; at that moment, she It seems that her soul almost floated out of her body...
I didn’t expect that she should die!
Unexpectedly, she survived. In this case, she must make Han Lingfu pay the price!
A stern expression appeared on Bai Muxiao's lips, and he muttered: "In comparison, Prince Jing is the emperor's legitimate son, has no wife, and has no concubines. Logically speaking, he is more suitable to marry Xiao Fei."
"Whether it's Han Lingfu or Han Lingfan, whoever can marry the eldest daughter of Zhennan Palace will be the future prince!" Ayimu said unhurriedly, his dark eyes shining with wisdom. .
Bai Muxiao fell silent, feeling a little unwilling in his heart.
Of course she wanted Han Lingfu to die immediately, and of course she didn't want Han Lingfu to marry Xiao Fei as he wished, but reason told her that for them, only Han Lingfu became the prince and then ascended to the throne. , then what she and Ayimu planned would have a chance of winning!
For the "great cause", she must wait patiently, wait for Han Lingfu to ascend the throne, and then let him die!
Thinking about it, Bai Muxiao's eyes became colder and colder, like ten thousand years of frost.
Ayimu naturally noticed the subtle changes in Bai Muxiao's expression, but he remained calm, with a leisurely smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth. She doesn't care what Bai Muxiao has in mind, as long as the other party knows how to put the overall situation first!
People always have something to think about before they can move forward!
The little Toji was silent for a moment, and only the sound of the boy shaking the rattle was left, "Dong! Dong! Dong..."
Bai Muxiao frowned and was about to scold him when he heard the sound of curtain lifting. Bihen, who was wearing a blue jacket, walked into the room quickly, not daring to look at Bai Muxiao. Xiao and Ayimu knelt down and said: "Concubine, there is a message from the main courtyard, please take the prince to mourn."
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Bai Muxiao's mouth. She stood up and stroked her skirt, and at the same time asked the wet nurse to pick up Han Weijun. She politely blessed him and said, "Mr. Guan, then Brother Jun and I I’m going to excuse myself now.”
Bai Muxiao left. Ayimu watched her and the child leave, the smile on her lips deepened and her eyes sparkled.
There is an old saying: good fortune lies behind misfortune, misfortune lies behind blessing... If planned properly, perhaps Baiyue's biggest crisis will turn into Baiyue's biggest opportunity, allowing Baiyue's territory to cover the Central Plains!
This was an almost unattainable dream for the ancestors of Baiyue, but it seems to be close at hand!
The Xinghui Courtyard fell silent with the departure of Bai Muxiao and Han Weijun. In the main courtyard, there were cries and wailings, filled with a deep sadness.
Three days after the funeral, it was time for the funeral ceremony of Princess Gongjun. Chen’s coffin was escorted out of the palace by a team of people.
The servants in the mansion were all whispering secretly. This ordinary people had just been suspended for three days. Even if Chen was the step princess, she still had a noble status. Not to mention the seven or forty-nine days of suspension, she still deserved to be suspended. Seven days in the spirit, right? !
Han Lingfu, who was at the front of the funeral procession, didn't notice it at all. He just felt relieved. He wished that the procession would go as fast as possible, so that he could get rid of Chen's cumbersome burden.
Chen's father, Chen Rentai, has been trapped in southern Xinjiang since last year. His life and death are unknown. He may have been buried under the butcher's knife of the Zhennan Palace long ago. However, Chen's brothers have mediocre qualifications and are unlikely to achieve success. The implementer.
As far as I am concerned, the Chen family is useless.
What's more, this Mrs. Chen has nothing to do and is pampered and overbearing. He has long been tired of her!
Letting Chen continue to occupy the position of princess is simply a waste of time. However, Chen is his own princess, and her name is inscribed on jade. As long as Chen's virtue is good, it is impossible for the royal family to divorce his wife, so he There is only one way left to go——
The only way is to let her "make room" for Miss Xiao!
"簌簌簌簌..."
Bangs of cool spring breeze blew in, blowing the white paper money all over the sky like goose feathers and heavy snow. It also messed up Han Lingfu's hair. A few strands of black hair on his cheeks were flying freely, and his dark eyes were as deep as the sky. Tan's eyes were so cold that there was no emotion at all, only plans and calculations.
Now that he has lost his concubine and has gained the attention of his father, his father will definitely choose him to marry Miss Xiao compared to the fifth emperor brother.
Han Lingfu held his head high and his eyes flashed with a sure win.
On the day of Princess Gongjun’s funeral, the sky was covered with clouds, layered like thick ink, and it was unknown when a violent storm would fall...
The sudden death of Princess Gongjun caused a few ripples like a spring breeze blowing across the lake. However, it subsided in an instant. On the surface, this incident did not cause any waves, but the various places in the capital There was a lot of discussion in the mansion privately. No one was stupid, and they all understood the reason for Chen's sudden "sudden death" at this time.
No poison, no husband, Prince Gong’s heart is really cruel!
After sighing for a while, those members of Gongjun’s royal party secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, now that Princess Gong’s throne is vacant, Gongjun’s royal party finally has a chance to compete.
The eyes of all the palaces were focused on the palace, secretly speculating on what the Holy Heart would decide.
"A sneeze——"
The emperor in the imperial study seemed to feel something and sneezed.
Seeing this, Eunuch Liu hurriedly served hot tea to the emperor and respectfully advised the emperor to pay attention to the dragon body.
The emperor took a sip of tea and moistened his throat. He didn't want to take care of himself, but now that Dayu was in danger, how could he rest in peace.
"Hey——"
The emperor couldn't help but sigh again.
The emperor has been hesitating for several days about Cheng Dongyang's proposal. Xiaowu is the legitimate son and has not yet married, so it stands to reason that he is the most suitable candidate.
However, Xiao San has been acting very grandly recently, acting like a prince. Unlike Xiao Wu, who is too benevolent as a woman, he prefers Xiao San as a prince...
But the eldest daughter of the Zhennan Palace has just reached the age of hairpins. To her, the mistress is indeed a bit older.
I don’t know if the Zhennan Palace will agree to Miss Xiao being the stepmother...
And...
The emperor was in a trance and gently brushed away the tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea soup with the tea lid.
He really didn’t want to show weakness to the Zhennan Palace.
If the majestic Emperor Dayu bows down to a mere vassal king, how will the people of the world view him as an emperor? !
The emperor picked up the teacup, put it down, then picked it up again...
While hesitating, a servant hurriedly came to report that there was another military report from Western Xinjiang!
After a while, a veteran soldier submitted an urgent military report from three thousand miles away to the imperial court.
The military information in the military newspaper made the emperor change his mind again——
The Southern Xinjiang Army defeated the Xiye Army and occupied the west of Feixia Mountain!
For the emperor, this news was like a bolt from the blue, making his mind go into chaos and he could not recover for a long time.
The emperor looked down at his right hand with a dejected look on his face. He still clearly remembered that before his death, the late emperor held his right hand tightly and weakly told him:
"Prince, I leave this great wealth to you!"
The late emperor's earnest and trusting eyes have always been engraved in the emperor's heart. After all these years, it seems like yesterday.
The country is the most important, and the future is long.
The emperor said to himself in his heart, his expression became solemn and determined.
As long as you can hold on to this rich land, it doesn't matter if you endure the humiliation for a while!
"Served with pen and ink!"
The emperor's sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the imperial study.
Eunuch Liu hurriedly waited on the side, polishing ink and laying paper... After a while, the emperor straightened up his writing, and the imperial study was quiet.
An hour later, a still-warming imperial edict followed the envoy out of the royal capital and headed for southern Xinjiang at full speed.
This is the most humiliating imperial edict the emperor has ever written in his life. Rather than being an edict, it is more like a letter written to King Zhennan begging for mercy and asking to marry Xiao Fei.
In the letter, the emperor euphemistically stated that he had two adult princes, Prince Gong and Prince Jing, who were still in vain. He heard that the eldest daughter of the Prince of Zhennan was waiting in the boudoir and wanted to find a good wife for the two princes. . Immediately afterwards, the emperor praised Xiao Fei eloquently for being knowledgeable, sensible, virtuous and virtuous. He praised her as a role model for noble ladies and the best choice for the crown prince.
The emperor’s implication is already clear. As long as Xiao Fei is willing to marry into the royal family, she will be the future crown princess. Regardless of whether Prince Gong or Prince Jing, whoever the Zhennan Palace chooses will be the emperor. For the prince!
For a time, everyone in the royal capital was in a commotion over the emperor's imperial edict. They were all sighing, sighing, and shocked.
But there are also people who are watching with cold eyes, such as Princess Yongyang.
Ever since the emperor convicted Han Huaijun and made Han Lingfan the king of Jingjun, everything the emperor did made Yongyang feel cold. Fan personally came to the princess's residence to find her...
On this day, after the envoys left the royal capital, En Guogong, Han Lingfan, Nangong Xin and Pei Yuanchen gathered in the mansion of Princess Yongyang.
Pei Yuanchen just rushed back from Southern Xinjiang last night. At this moment, he was talking about what he saw and heard in Southern Xinjiang. Although he had already roughly mentioned some things in the letter sent to the capital, But it wasn't until he said it himself that everyone knew the details, and how Xiao Yi defeated more with less...
Everyone listened attentively, with expressions ranging from shock to doubt to sigh...
Yongyang, who was wearing a black dark flower trousers, sat at the top, staring at Pei Yuanchen blankly, her lips slightly pursed, her face seemingly expressionless, but her heart was full of mixed feelings.
Among the people present, she is the only one who is a true military commander. She has experienced hundreds of battles and has sympathy for Xiao Yi as a military commander. At the same time, to Yong Yang, Xiao Yi is an old friend, which makes her feel uncomfortable. There is a sense of relief that comes from rejoicing for an old friend.
In the past, I and the old King of Zhennan followed the late emperor on the battlefield, and it was so satisfying to have a grudge. However, now that our old friend has passed away, only my old bones are left!
The Xiao family has Xiao Yi, and her Han family...
Can Han Lingfan become the successor to the Han family? !
Yongyang looked at Han Lingfan with complicated eyes and sighed in his heart.
At this time, Pei Yuanchen heard his last words: "Her Royal Highness, the Prince, the Duke, and Prince Xiao personally promised me that I would not take the initiative to conduct the Northern Expedition..." Originally, he was worried that the emperor would provoke southern Xinjiang again, but he didn't expect to wait until After he arrived in the royal capital, the situation had suddenly changed.
Hearing this, Duke Enguo breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Nangong Xin. However, most of the other people in the hall still had solemn expressions on their faces, not relieved by Pei Yuanchen's words. The dignified royal family wanted to beg for mercy from Nanjiang. , how lucky is it? !
There was silence in the hall for a moment.
Gong Enguo seemed to have thought of something, and said hesitantly: "I heard that the eldest girls in Zhennan Palace are all excellent in talent and character..."
Yongyang frowned slightly and looked at Duke En Guo, his sharp eyes half-squinted, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
She knew what Duke Enguo meant, but she didn't take it seriously.
Yongyang said calmly: "Jiang Guogong, you'd better not be troublesome!"
As he spoke, Yongyang’s brows showed a touch of sarcasm, "No matter how good the emperor thinks, it still depends on whether the Zhennan Palace will appreciate it or not!"
The emperor's imperial edict only made Yongyang more disappointed. The emperor actually bullied the weak and feared the strong! If it weren't for the late emperor, if Han Lingfan, his grandnephew, was still barely worthy of support, Yongyang felt that he was old and no longer wanted to be involved in such messy affairs in the court.
But Duke En was hesitant and hesitated to speak. In the end, he did not refute Yong Yang face to face. His eyes darkened and his thoughts were far away. Even what others said later did not reach his ears...
After returning to Duke Enguo’s residence that day, the first thing Duke Enguo did was to ask someone to inquire about the current situation of Prince Gongjun’s residence.
That night, the young man in Tsing Yi hurried back with a complex expression and reported: "My lord, Princess Gongjun has a funeral today..."
Hearing this, Duke Enguo and his son Enguo Gong in the study couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief, and they both said to themselves: It has only been three days since the spirit has been suspended, so Prince Gong must be too anxious!
The young man bowed his head and continued to report: "My lord, I asked the concierge of the Prince's Mansion to inquire about it. I heard that after Princess Gongjun died suddenly, Prince Gong gave away all the concubines in the Prince's Mansion. After going to Zhuangzi, only Concubine Bai and Concubine Cui were left." The concubine is a second-grade imperial concubine, so naturally she cannot be disposed of at will, not to mention that Concubine Bai has a son by her side.
Gong Enguo waved his hand and asked the boy to retreat.
There was a solemn atmosphere in the study. Lord Enguo frowned and stroked his long beard, seeming to be deep in thought, and did not speak for a while.
After a moment, Prince Enguo took the lead and said with a complex expression: "Father, Prince Gong has worked so hard for this marriage... It seems that he is bound to win!"
Gong En Guo was still silent. He couldn't help but think of Yong Yang's reminder today.
Do they really do nothing? !
No matter what, Miss Xiao should be a good match for Prince Jing...
Today is different from the past. Now that Yu is rich, there is no other noble lady whose status is more valuable than Xiao Fei!
This imperial edict sent by the emperor to southern Xinjiang caused the royal capital to be in a commotion, and it could not calm down for a long time. Everyone knew who the crown prince was going to be. I am afraid it depends on how the Zhennan Palace reacts to this edict. responded...
