I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man: 62. Adopted
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters I am not such a man!
Huo Youjuan walked slowly into the next room. There, seven or eight court ladies were surrounding a long jade figure.
There are still some cups, plates and dishes on the ground, which have been broken all over the ground because of pushing and conflict.
These two wild mandarin ducks are well prepared, and they even have drinks. I'm afraid that after eating, drinking, talking and laughing, they will have a good night together, right?
Grandma Hu's cheeks were twisted, and her anger was almost gushing out.
Looking up at the handsome and extraordinary noble son, she exclaimed: "Oh, isn't this Lord Chun? You are no longer awaiting the emperor today, so how come you come here to drink and have fun."
The person on the opposite side did not answer yet. Suddenly there was another uproar downstairs. The two court ladies entered the Feifeng Pavilion holding the incense table and other objects. Seeing that there was a group of people in the always quiet attic, the two court ladies suddenly frightened. Must stop.
"Lord Chun" walked quickly to the armrest of the attic, and greeted him condescendingly: "Come up."
The voice is crisp and tactful, with the feminine feminine beauty.
Mother Hu suddenly opened her eyes. This voice...
The thirteenth princess Qin Zhi took off the cloak and sneered: "Who was Mother Hu just called?"
Mother Hu took a step back, her gaze swept over the indifferent Huo Youjuan, and then swept over the sneer Qin Zhi, her expression flickering: "This..."
At the command of the master, the two court ladies hugged things up the stairs.
Xue Er looked at the stiff-faced Mother Hu in amazement, then looked at her owner, hesitatingly asked: "Princess, I am not going to pray for blessing tonight... Oh, who is preparing to pay tribute? The food and wine for the blessings are all scattered! This was prepared for the emperor’s prayer!"
Mother Hu's heart sank suddenly.
**************************
In the Taiwei Hall.
Qin Nuo walked slowly along the corridor.
Here is the place where he has lived for the longest time, full of unspeakable memories.
Because the current emperor has few concubines and no children under his knees, the palace has been closed since they left. The sweeping palace staff is dedicated, and keeps tidying up every day.
Standing in front of the door of my bedroom, although it has only been a year away, the whole palace has become unfamiliar, just like the people who once lived here.
The Li Wan behind him seemed to feel more emotional. He checked the window and said, "The bearing on the window sill has been repaired. Alas, the minion has been talking to the Ministry of Internal Affairs several times before, and he hasn't done it all. As expected, it was not closed after two days of use. Is this a new one?"
Qin Nuo laughed. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he naturally renovated the various palaces and waited for the newcomers to move in.
The two of them walked all the way, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar pavilions, and from time to time Li Wan exclaimed and commented.
Walking to the middle attic, suddenly there was a loud noise in the distance.
"Why did the Feifeng Pavilion on the opposite side suddenly turn on the light?" Li Wan looked at the distance in confusion. Since Emperor Jing Yao fell ill, no one has used it for several years.
Qin Nuo stood under the corridor and said with a smile: "Maybe there are palace people busy in it."
After receiving Huo Youjuan's call, he realized that there was a problem, and then immediately contacted Qin Zhi to set up the bureau. Among them, the chess pieces in the palace placed by the Pei family were the ones who helped in contact. In fact, before he entered the palace this time, Cao Qi specially gave him a list of people who can be contacted for help. This force shocked Qin Nuo secretly. He knew very well that Pei Ling could not give him the entire list, but being able to plant so many people under Queen Mother Huo’s eyelids was enough to shock him. NS.
Standing on the secluded corridor, watching the hustle and bustle of Feifeng Pavilion gradually expand.
"Brother Nine!" A sudden call came from behind him.
Qin Nuo turned his head and looked, it was Qin Ze who was coming over here.
Walking to the corridor, Qin Ze gestured slightly, and the palace servants who followed him immediately stopped.
At the same time, Li Maru also bowed back, leaving a quiet space for the brothers.
"If you don't have a good rest at night, why do you feel like going back to the old place?" Qin Nuo asked with a smile.
"Ha, Brother Nine, you are not the same, or you are here for another purpose?" Qin Ze stood beside him, looking at the palace where the brothers once lived, his brows were full of nostalgia.
Qin Nuo glanced at him, "What do you want to test?"
Qin Ze chuckled and lifted his chin in the direction of Feifeng Pavilion. "It just feels like it seems to be a good show over there. Wouldn't Brother Nine come over and take a look?"
"Why bother, look at it or not, it's the same." Qin Nuo shrugged.
"Yes, if the layout person has already made up his mind, why should he see the result with his own eyes." Qin Ze smiled.
Qin Nuo snorted coldly: "I am scared at every step in this palace, and unlike you, someone is escorted." Can disguise Huo Youjuan's handwriting so accurately, and mobilize the palace maidens of Qianyuan Palace, this A good show, mostly led by the Huo family?
Qin Ze smiled bitterly: "Nine brothers don't laugh at me, maybe the person who enters the game tomorrow will be replaced by me."
Qin Nuo was startled, this ridicule was really not like a disguise.
Isn't the layout of tonight arranged by the Huo family to pave the way for him, cutting off his own block in advance.
Qin Zeyao looked at the brightly lit Feifeng Pavilion and continued: "Nine brothers, do you know? The Queen Mother Huo has successively summoned Princess Ruijun, Princess Rongjun, and several wives from the clan to enter the palace for rewards. Rich and intimate." He turned his head to look at Qin Nuo, his eyes burning.
The princess of Ruijun? Princess Rongjun? Qin Nuo was surprised. The county kings mentioned by Qin Ze just now were originally only the state princes, but after the clan withered, Qin Cong was promoted as the county kings during the New Years Day with the addition of the En clan. In terms of blood, they are already different from today. The royal family is far apart. But these princes have one thing in common, they all have young heirs under their knees.
In an instant, Qin Nuo understood Queen Mother Huo's thoughts.
The Queen Mother Huo wants to adopt it! Instead of picking one from the two of them.
It's no wonder that when meeting in the Qianyuan Palace's bedroom these days, Queen Mother Huo looked at the two of them with a stern look.
It's just...Is this the empress dowager Huo's meaning, or the Huo family's meaning?
Looking at Qin Ze's slightly mocking corner of his lips. Qin Nuo realized that it was Queen Mother Huo's own idea!
If you think about it, you can understand. Qin Cong is her only bone and blood, and mothers all over the world love their children like this, and can't wait to give him the best. Since Qin Cong can no longer have an heir, let him adopt one and inherit the incense in the future.
And if the brothers and last brothers meet, in the future the royal inheritance will become the line of Qin Nuo or Qin Ze, and the filial piety is enshrined by the grandfather Jing Yao. This brother Qin Cong has only been in power for a short period of one year, and it is a bit embarrassing to be caught in the middle.
The Queen Mother Huo’s thoughts are normal, but...the Huo family can’t agree, because the etiquette and law are not allowed!
The matter of adoption and succession, especially when it comes to the inheritance of the throne, is different from folk incense, it is strictly about blood etiquette. If one of Qin Nuo's brothers in his generation had heirs, it would be logical to adopt Qin Cong. Even King An's generation, Jing Yaodi's biological brothers, had grandchildren of the right age. The son of Qin Cong's adoptive cousin can barely make sense. But now the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, after Qin Jian's massacre, withered away. Within three generations of close relatives, there is no boy of the right age.
Outside the three generations, although someone has chosen, the blood relationship is too far away, and it is impossible for the courtiers and the clan to agree. Especially when there are two candidates for the imperial brother. Therefore, the Queen Mother Huo is whimsical... Even if the Huo family controls the government, they can't openly defy the world like this.
Is there a rift between Queen Mother Huo and the Huo family?
The current position of Queen Mother Huo is to kill them both indiscriminately! Of course, he is a little weaker, and Huo Youjuan is a bright target, so let's start!
To understand this, Qin Nuo glanced at Qin Ze with a complicated expression. In fact, he doesn't need to tell himself the news.
Looking at the dark Xiyue Lake in the distance, Qin Ze suddenly said, "Brother Nine, have you ever thought about it, in fact, if one of you and I get to that position, you will only be the puppets of the Huo family or the Pei family. ."
"Brother Emperor, he has half the blood of the Huo family, and he is kind, and in the end, he is just a chess piece at the mercy of others, caught in the wild aspirations of these people, and he is forced to move forward."
"Is this kind of throne interesting?"
Qin Ze's voice was as dim as this invisible night.
Qin Nuo rubbed his nose. Is Qin Ze expressing his fear of the Huo Family? Boy, you haven't crossed the river, you just want to demolish the bridge, it's not kind!
"Are you not afraid that I will leak these words to Huo Shangshu and the others?" Qin Nuo turned his head slightly and smiled.
"I know something about Brother Nine." Qin Ze turned his head and smiled, "Don't you have any scruples about Pei Ling in your heart?"
"He is not only good at power and control, but also with my Qin clan, but he has the hatred of extermination!"
Qin Nuo did not answer.
Qin Ze looked at him deeply, and finally said: "Ninth Brother, don't fight with me for that position, okay?" The clear voice was full of persistence, but inadvertently brought a simple pleading.
"Impossible." Qin Nuo flatly refused, his eyes firm.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Qin Ze's eyes. "I understand, I won't say this sentence a second time."
Speaking of this, there is no need to continue.
Qin Nuo turned and left.
Qin Ze closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his elder brother had already lost his trace.
He stood alone under the porch, and the night wind gradually became cooler. The palace servants who accompanied him finally couldn't help but step forward and whispered to persuade him, "His Royal Highness, let's go back too."
Qin Ze wakes up from a dream, walks down the corridor, and finally looks back at the Taiwei Temple, which is submerged in the dark, and smiles silently.
************
Qin Nuo returned to Qianyuan Palace.
Before dawn, it is the darkest time of the day. In such a quiet moment, no matter how dedicated the palace is, it will be tired and sleepy.
Qin Nuo eased his footsteps and advanced to the side hall. A strong smell of medicine puffed his nose. Since the emperor became seriously ill, this place has been changed into a medicine dispensing compartment.
A steward **** in a brown robe is checking the amount of medicine today. Hearing the voice of Qin Nuo coming in, he turned to salute: "Lord Chun."
Qin Nuo nodded: "Thank you for today." He is the person Pei Ling has placed in the palace. If it is not for the list of certainty, Qin Nuo would be unbelievable. Even one of the eunuchs beside the emperor, Pei Ling is also capable. Intervene.
Wan Yi in front of him is one of the eight chief eunuchs in Qianyuan Hall. Although he is in charge of only the inconspicuous sweeping and cleaning affairs in the hall, he is also a person named in front of the emperor.
After receiving Huo Youjuan's subpoena before, he suspected that it was a forgery, so he entrusted Wan Yi to contact Qin Zhi and Huo Youjuan to help set up the bureau.
"Don't dare to be the prince, thank you, the prince should be careful." Wan Yi is in his 30s, with a bit of fortitude in his delicate face, besides a sharper voice, he looks more like a scholar who is about to commit to the military. Although the words were polite, they were also reminding Qin Nuo to contact him less than anything else.
"Just come over and care about the medicinal materials that the emperor is going to take today." Qin Nuo smiled, and there were a few eunuchs in the corner of the room sorting out the medicinal materials, far away.
With a few brief conversations, Qin Nuo turned and left the side hall. In the main hall, the emperor was still asleep, and several night eunuchs were waiting in the corner when they saw Qin Nuo coming in and saluting dullly.
Qin Nuo's voice is extremely low: "How is the emperor's brother sleeping tonight?"
"The emperor has been resting, and nothing is wrong." The **** in charge whispered back. Qin Cong has been sleeping longer and longer these days, and sometimes it is difficult to tell whether he is in a coma or asleep. Only when taking medicine during the day, I am a little more awake.
Qin Nuo walked to the bed, feeling lost. Compared with the days when Emperor Jing Yao lay here, this feeling of loss is clearer. Perhaps the passing of young life is naturally more empathetic.
Seeing that nothing happened today, Qin Nuo turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly I heard a very subtle call from behind, "Is it the nine brothers?"
