Spirit of the Phoenix: 89. Losing a child

36 hours when the anti-theft ratio is 70%, buy enough to refresh and try. Just after the end of the new year, two new things happened in the palace.

The first thing is that Empress Chen is already pregnant, and because she is the first child, the pregnancy is extremely hard. Zong Zhengqing of the Ministry of Rites wrote a letter, promoting women aged 13 to 20 from all officials' families to fill the harem. After several months of selection, about a hundred women of the right age were brought into the emperor's harem.

The second thing is that the prince Lu Rui, who has been unlucky recently, fell off a horse and injured his right leg.

After the prince fell off the horse, the queen was pregnant with Liujia but couldn't take off her clothes. She stayed by the bedside of the prince and took good care of her. The emperor, who had always been cowardly and gentle, was furious, and ordered the imperial physician to make a diagnosis and treatment with all his heart, and personally helped the pregnant queen back to the palace.

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival incident with the Yang family, the palace servants who were elected as errands in the East Palace had not yet been fully trained, and they were killed again and again because of the prince's falling from a horse.

In half a year, two batches of servants in the Eastern Palace died unexpectedly.

All of a sudden, the maids and servants were in danger, as if stepping into the East Palace of His Highness the Crown Prince was like stepping into the gate of hell.

There are few people in the East Palace, and Tai'an is at ease. During the day, he became more daring, and often pushed open the outer window, sat carelessly on the edge of the window, and played with the koi carp fed by the prince in the white porcelain tank.

She didn't dare to reach out to touch it, so she lifted her skirt and looked at it from a distance, turning her head to look at the prince sitting in front of the case: "How long are you going to hide here? You are like a turtle, it will take years of monkeys and horses and months to do it." Got an errand? If you don’t get an errand, others will think you have no future. The East Palace doesn’t even have an aide to join you. How can you fight for the throne?”

The little prince was very disdainful, and snorted: "After the death of the grand master, I have lost half of my power. After the empress became pregnant, others even thought that half of my body was buried in the ground. Those who come to join me at this time are either stupid or stupid." , or have other plans.”

He paused for a moment, then glanced at Tai'an again: "...or he is just like you, bold and unruly, with no ambition, only a head full of spirit."

Holding a small knife in his right hand, he chopped it finely for half a day, and finally cut a small wooden stick into the shape of a tiny fishing rod. He lightly tapped Tai'an on the head, and handed the fishing rod to her : "... Seeing you being bored and thinking wildly all day long, I made a little gadget for you, let's play with it! Don't always ask me these irrelevant questions."

Tai'an was not polite, took the fishing rod and looked at it happily, then poked it into the small porcelain vat with his backhand to tease the koi: "What's wrong with the question I asked? If it weren't for me, your leg wouldn't be right." The waste has to be broken, but it is enough for you to drink a pot!"

The little prince's lips curled up slightly, his eyes were cold, and he didn't answer her words, only silently recalling the day he fell from the horse.

After gouging out his heart to save his father, the little prince naturally became "weak and weak". Under the guise of caring for her stepson, the queen sent the imperial physician to ask for pulse from time to time, and every day said that the pulse was weak, implying that he had hurt his fundamental life soon.

The little prince sneered, he was able to eat and sleep with no headache, no cold feet, and his stature grew. Even Tai'an, who knew nothing about medical skills, could point to the imperial doctor's back and call him a "bullshit".

Where is he sick? It was clearly Empress Chen who wanted him to be "sick".

The little prince didn't take it seriously, at first he thought he was just looking for an excuse of "not being able to make up for the emptiness", and once again let him not eat meat and fish with clear soup and little water.

Not long after, the queen wrote a letter to the emperor, saying that the prince is weak, so he should practice martial arts, especially horseback riding and archery, to keep fit.

The little prince didn't expect it at all, but Tai'an was dumbfounded and looked at him in horror: "Your stepmother is crazy, and she will kill you by riding a horse."

Yes, it is well known in the whole court that Prince Hede of Emperor Zhongzong died of falling from a horse, and Dayan already had a crown prince who died under a horse's hoof. Could it be that the queen took the wrong medicine and dared to use the horse's hoof to get rid of him? ?

If she really doesn't care about this reputation, why not feed him a bowl of arsenic, wouldn't it be cleaner?

The little prince didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the queen's gourd, but Tai'an insisted that the queen was going to kill him by falling from the horse.

The two had been arguing for a long time, Tai'an had a flash of inspiration, and clapped his hands happily: "It's better to take the initiative to attack when the soldiers come to block you. Didn't she want you to fall off the horse? Then you will fall for her!"

"My elder brother is very good at riding, and he taught me all my horsemanship!" Tai'an patted his chest, "You will listen to my command tomorrow, and I will teach you! You will fall off after taking two steps on your horse. You make this move!"

The corner of the little prince's mouth twitched, and it took him a long time to not complain about her "excellent riding skills" brother, who happened to be the Prince Hede who fell from the horse and died.

But as far as the current plan is concerned, although Tai'an's method is wicked and embarrassing, it is still a good way to break the situation.

No matter what the queen asked him to ride, it was not really for his health.

It is said that soldiers are coming to block, but the most fear is that it will be impossible to defend.

The little prince let out a long sigh, lowered his head and asked Tai'an: "Finally, what will I do tomorrow?"

Therefore, on the first day that Prince Lu Rui, who was frail and sick, followed Zhaowu Xiaowei to learn riding and shooting, he fell from his horse and "injured" his right leg.

The little prince shook his head lightly: "It's delicious. It's just that I've been vegetarian for a long time, and I can't swallow it."

Tai'an is ignorant, but he also knows that he is not just talking about a piece of meat in his mouth.

In the past few years, although there was a prince in the East Palace, it was useless. The servant in the East Palace only recognizes the Taifu but not the Crown Prince. Even if he really married Miss Pei's family that day, he might not be very different from the current Holy Majesty.

They are all puppets held by others.

But within one night, the little prince had three hundred guards in his hands.

"It's easy for me to eat a bowl of spare ribs today. How can I afford to feed three hundred mouths in the future?" The little prince frowned and sighed softly, then stared at Tai'an again with a very serious expression: "Tai'an, all the monsters and elves around here know some spells, and they can turn stones into gold and turn decay into magic. You are only a ghost of thirty years, not to mention that the city was rich and rich, so why didn't you think about where to bury it in the palace?" How about some gold and silver treasures, so you can take them out and spend them now?"

Tai'an choked, feeling a little guilty when he was told by the little prince, as if this useless paper ghost really dragged him down.

Her joy disappeared in an instant, and her back shrugged. She couldn't even arouse the braised pork ribs in front of her eyes. The dragon chair...drilled in and hollowed out? Or...I slipped out at night..."

"Fool." The little prince's voice was obviously playful, and it was rare to reveal the livelyness of a young man. He got down on his knees and looked directly at her who was downcast: "You're kidding. With your small body, it's hard to last the whole night. Besides, there will be more and more customers in the East Palace in the future. How can you move Jinshanyinshan? "

His ambition and goal are clearly revealed, and he has no longer concealed it in front of Tai'an.

Taian raised his head in a daze: "What about the money?"

The little prince smiled without saying a word, and looked in the direction of Suzaku Gate.

When it was time to light the lamps, General Li came in person, brought a small nanmu box, and brought back the little servant who had been ordered by the prince to pass the message to Pei's house.

"Princess concubine enters the palace from Suzaku gate," the servant lowered his head, "Winter clothes and summer shirts are all in the box, all are prepared by the crown concubine for His Royal Highness."

The waiter paused for a moment, and said with a deep meaning: "The second young lady of the Jinzhong Qin family is on good terms with the princess and concubine. She is also very good at Jin embroidery, and her embroidery is superb. The lady specially asked the minister to take a closer look at the box." Of the summer shirts in the book, you may guess which one was sewn by the Crown Princess herself, and which one was written by Miss Qin Er?"

The unique flavor of life between children is sweet to the ears and sweet to the heart.

The crown prince nodded with a smile, and praised the little servant: "The errand was done well."

The waiter was clever, and immediately knelt down to salute: "I would like to saddle up for Your Highness, and please give me your name."

The prince's eyes were deep, and his thin lips parted slightly: "Sha Yuan."

Tai'an froze, silently recited the name "Shayuan" that the little prince had given to the servant several times.
