www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
From this day on, Han Lingguan, the king of Shun County, officially supervised the country on behalf of his father, exercised the power of the emperor, and handled all the major and minor state affairs in the court.
Due to the serious illness of the emperor, the morning court was temporarily canceled. Starting from the next day, which was the second day of September, Han Lingguan, cabinet ministers and several important ministers discussed court affairs in the imperial study.
Early in the morning, Han Lingguan spoke righteously to the ministers about the emperor's stroke. He first expressed his concerns about the emperor's condition as a son of a man, and then angrily rebuked the fifth prince for being unfilial and disrespectful, and for being angry with the emperor. He proposed to let the fifth prince write a letter of sin to atone for his sin.
Everyone present knew the importance of the three words "Book of Sin". The imperial study room was silent for a moment, and the ministers had different thoughts.
Gong Enguo’s expression became condensed and he hurriedly objected: “Your Majesty, the Emperor’s dragon body has not yet recovered, so it’s hard to say where this matter started! Your Majesty may not be too impatient!”
Gong Enguo knew in his heart that Han Lingguan was clearly trying to add insult to injury, intending to use this opportunity to completely suppress the fifth prince, and he must not let Han Lingguan succeed. Once the fifth prince writes a letter of guilt, he will be convicted of being unfilial, and there will be no possibility for him to turn around in the future, and he will no longer have any chance of being crowned king...
"The Duke is right. Only the emperor knows the truth. It will not be too late to discuss everything after the emperor recovers." Another adult also agreed.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wu, is wrong." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry quickly glanced at Han Lingguan and raised a strong objection, "The day before yesterday, in full view of everyone, His Highness the Fifth Prince personally admitted that the Emperor fainted in the study room He was also present at the time, and a chamberlain proved that His Highness the Fifth Prince was angry and sick of the Emperor. The evidence is conclusive, and there is nothing to argue about..."
The Minister of Industry made a reasonable statement, and many other ministers nodded.
In the face of such clear evidence, no matter how hard the En Guo Gong faction tried to argue, it seemed feeble. The En Guo Gong could only insist that the fifth prince was a prince, and only the emperor could decide whether to blame himself or not...
What happened in the imperial study room soon spread to the harem.
After listening to the little chamberlain's report, the queen's expression was dark and unclear, her brows were tangled together, and her brows were frowning. Last night, the queen almost couldn't sleep all night, and she suddenly had a lot of gray hair.
After the queen waved her hand, the young chamberlain retreated. Only the queen and her son were left in the side hall, and the air was very dull.
"Mother," Han Lingfan looked even calmer, his eyes filled with deep guilt, and said with difficulty, "I am the son of a minister who is sick of my father. It is appropriate to write a letter of guilt..."
"Fan'er, don't do anything stupid!" the queen urged worriedly, "Your second emperor brother doesn't want you to sin at all, he just wants you to never turn over!" The queen squeezed tightly. Clenching his fists and gritting his teeth.
Han Lingfan smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Mother, I understand what you said. I just don't like fighting..." He was not stupid, and he didn't know what the two emperor brothers were playing.
Han Lingfan took a deep breath and clenched his fists unconsciously. He raised his eyes to look at the queen and said firmly: "Mother, you and your ministers can sin against themselves, but if the second emperor brother wants to use this as a means If you ask me to surrender, I will not admit guilt."
Looking at Han Lingfan's firm eyes, a faint mist appeared in front of the queen's eyes, and she felt her heart became heavier...
She knew that it would only get harder and harder for Han Lingfan in the future!
The autumn wind rustled, making the leaves outside rustle. The leaves gradually began to turn yellow, and the weather became cooler and colder...
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the emperor was still unconscious on the hospital bed. The imperial doctors consulted collectively in the emperor's palace, but they were unable to do anything and did not dare to take the risk of giving the emperor strong medicine.
That night, the Queen Mother, who had gone out to worship Buddha, hurriedly returned after hearing the news and stayed in front of the emperor's bed all night. It was not until the Queen invited Princess Yuncheng to persuade her that she returned to the palace to rest.
A few days passed, and the emperor's health showed no signs of improvement, and the situation in the court became increasingly unfavorable to the fifth prince...
Han Lingguan, the Prince of Shun Commandery, took advantage of the opportunity of supervising the country and began to suppress the pro-legacy faction that supported the fifth prince, and removed many officials from their positions. At the same time, he blatantly supported and reused his cronies, and replaced them with all the Prince's Party of Shun Commandery. The Baoli faction held important positions in the court.
Han Lingguan’s actions were so big that Gu Mo, Li Heng and other people from Prince Gong’s lineage naturally noticed it, but they thought that since Prince Shun didn’t target them, it was nothing to do with them. The emperor chose to stand by and let the two factions fight. In this way, he could buy some time for Prince Gong who was far away in the western border.
After a fierce battle, the Baoli faction suffered heavy losses. In just four or five days, Duke En Guo was already several years older. He felt that he was about to lose control of the situation...
In today's court, the only one with such prestige that can hold down the court is Princess Yongyang.
However, Yongyang was disheartened because of the emperor's attitude towards Xiye last time. After Nangongxin was removed as the fifth prince's companion, Yongyang left the royal capital with his granddaughter and grandson-in-law and his wife. Return...
Since the emperor died, Duke Enguo has hurriedly sent people to look for him, but there is no news yet.
The entire king is immersed in a weird and depressing atmosphere. Some people are gloomy, some are ready to move, and some are still hesitant...
On the sixth day of September, troubles arose again. Led by the Minister of Rites, nearly half of the courtiers jointly submitted a letter, asking the fifth prince to punish himself in the name of being unfaithful and unfilial.
"Crash..."
The heavy rain that had been brewing for several days finally hit the royal capital.
The royal capital is shrouded in a heavy rain, but in southern Xinjiang it is sunny and windy. The weather is warm and comfortable, which is the most suitable time for a nap.
Two cats, one orange and one white, are close to each other, their round bodies forming a Tai Chi diagram. They are sleeping comfortably on the table by the window and basking in the sun, the golden sunshine is shining on On their bodies, their oily and watery fur seemed to be glowing.
"Easy!"
A childish voice with a milky voice screamed excitedly. The little guy in a cute tiger costume quickly crawled in the direction of the cat. Silk Girl followed him cautiously, keeping a certain distance from him. .
The little guy crawled under the table in a few seconds, grabbed the table and stood up unsteadily, staring at the two cats sleeping together with a pair of black jade-like eyes.
The cats who were sleeping soundly finally had some reaction. Cat Xiaobai raised his head and yawned lazily, revealing his sharp fangs.
"Eh-" Xiao Yu and the white cat looked directly at each other, waving a chubby little hand towards it excitedly.
The arrogant white cat showed no shame at all and yawned again, then lowered his head and licked the orange cat's neck affectionately twice...
The sleeping orange cat remained motionless from head to toe, only making a "coo-coo" sound when it felt comfortable being licked.
"Yeah!" The ignored little guy still refused to give up. He grabbed the edge of the table with his right hand and tried hard to touch the orange cat with his left hand...
Seeing that his white fingertips were about to touch the orange cat's fluffy tail, suddenly a white tail swung over accurately and slapped the little guy's fleshy paw with disgust.
"Kekeke..."
Little Xiao Yu let out a crisp laugh, stood up on tiptoes with great effort, and continued to stretch out his little hands towards the cats...
"Little grandson!" Silk Mother was anxious and wanted to pick up little Xiao Yu, but she was a step too late.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
This time, the white cat took out its right front paw and quickly slapped the back of the little guy's hand at least a dozen times. The white cat's paw was so fast that it almost turned into a shadow...
The white cat's series of paws looked heavy, but it retracted its claws and did not hurt the little guy's delicate skin at all.
"Hehehehe..."
Little Xiao Yu only felt that the cat was playing with him and smiled even more happily. However, the servants serving in the room were all frightened. There was silence for a moment. Silk Lady was so frightened that she knelt down and hurried to Hug the little master.
However, the little guy refused and stretched out his little claws towards the two cats...
"Meow--" Cat Xiaobai bared his teeth and glared at the little guy, as if he wanted to scare him away, but Xiao Yu was still at an age where he didn't know how to be afraid. Not happy to be carried away.
Not far away, Nangong Yue, who was sitting on the Luohan bed and embroidering, put down her embroidery work and looked over. Knowing that the little guy would not be willing to touch the cat because of his temper, he ordered: "Huamei, go and get the little guy." Take Bai Xiaoju somewhere else."
Huamei responded and went towards the two cats. Xiao Yu seemed to know that his playmate was about to be snatched away, and shouted "Wow!"
The room was noisy, and Xiao Yi, who had returned from the military camp, came in through the curtain.
Looking at the chaos in the room, he raised his eyebrows with interest and asked, "What's going on?"
Seeing that Xiao Yi was back, the maids wisely withdrew, and Silk Mother also hugged little Xiao Yu at Nangong Yue's signal.
Nangong Yue hugged the little guy and patted his back to try to coax him, but the little guy still stared in the direction of the two cats, his big eyes misty with grievance, as if to say, why can't I Go play with them?
Nangong Yue was a little funny, so she told Xiao Yi what happened just now when Mao Xiaobai punched Xiao Yu several times.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi laughed rudely, looked at the little guy in Nangong Yue's arms with disdain, tapped his eyebrows with his finger, and said jokingly: "You bastard, you It’s so useless! Even a cat can bully you! I remember when your father and I were invincible in the world since I was a child. I recruited many younger brothers in southern Xinjiang. I was afraid of everyone, dogs ran away when they saw dogs, even mice saw me. , we should also take a detour!"
He touched his chin triumphantly, as if he still felt a little nostalgic.
Nangong Yue couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, she really didn't know what to say. Did A Yi forget that their brother Yu is not yet one year old...
Xiao Yi poked his son on the cheek again and said, "You brat, you have to find it wherever you lost it! Just wait, daddy will catch the cat for you!" Boys should be beaten and beaten. They should not be too squeamish. They are not raising girls!
With that said, Xiao Yi stood up and walked towards the two cats by the window.
Feeling the dangerous aura, Cat Xiaobai's tail instantly stood up and became furry. It looked at Xiao Ju who was sleeping soundly, said "meow" and jumped over the window sill and ran away.
Xiao Ju seemed to feel that something was missing beside him, and opened his eyes lazily. His pupils shrank into a thin black line in the golden cat eyes. He was about to look left and right, but found that his body suddenly became airborne. And rise...
"Yeah!" The little guy burst into laughter when he saw his father bringing his playmate over, and kept shouting excitedly.
But Xiaoju looked at the little guy who was getting closer and closer with disgust, showing an expression of despair, "Miwu", it called out in grievance.
When the warm cat was put into the little guy's arms, he was finally satisfied. He hugged the cat's soft belly and giggled. Xiaoju made a "whining" sound from time to time, which was so pitiful. Like a girl who encountered a flower picker...
Xiao Yi left the two little guys to play on the Arhat bed, and casually talked to Nangong Yue about the flying pigeon letter he had just received from the royal capital...
The more Nangong Yue listened, the more surprised she became. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the situation in the royal capital had undergone earth-shaking changes!
The emperor obviously loves the fifth prince so much, how could he reach this point...
"Ayi, the emperor seems to have become more confused these years..." Nangong Yue murmured.
When she and Xiao Yi were still in the capital, although the emperor was seriously ill, he was not so suspicious... The emperor was indeed not a wise king, but as long as the country was not in chaos, he could handle political affairs. Like now, it's like being possessed!
Could it be that this is the sequelae of the emperor's previous stroke? !
The so-called "stroke" is caused by the reversal of Qi and blood, blockage of cerebral arteries, and overflow of blood in the brain.
A few years ago, after the emperor recovered from a stroke, his body was not as good as before. He should have taken a good rest, nourished his energy and calmed his mind, and not become angry or sad. However, the emperor was busy with government affairs, so how could he rest? Moreover, the emperor was naturally overthinking. , he has many dreams at night and is easy to wake up. Over time, it will only make him weak and blood stagnant, and stagnate in his heart...
With such a vicious cycle, it is inevitable to have entangled emotions, worry about gains and losses, and it is easy to get into trouble...
But even so, would the emperor make himself sick because the fifth prince had different political views from him?
Nangong Yue frowned slightly, raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yi, and asked: "Ayi, Your Majesty...did he really have a stroke?"
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, with a touch of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, and said: "I don't know the inside story... But judging from how quickly Prince Shun took control of the court after the emperor's death, this matter Nine times out of ten, things are not that simple..." Except for the fifth prince, the emperor's sons all used any means to achieve their goals...
Hearing this, Nangong Yue's eyebrows inevitably revealed a look of worry, and she said, "What will happen to the emperor? And the fifth prince..." Yongyang's grandmother and brother are not in the royal capital now. The days of the fifth prince I'm afraid it's very difficult...
Xiao Yi held Nangong Yue's cold bare hand, looked into her eyes, and said slowly: "Xiao Bai also said that with the current situation in Dayu, the emperor's princes may not be able to survive. I’m afraid Dayu will be even more chaotic in the future..."
According to Guan Yubai, among the emperor's princes, the fifth prince is indeed pure in nature, but he lacks the means to be a king. Not only is it difficult to gain a foothold in this chaotic court situation, but he is also unable to suppress all parties. Barbarians.
Nangong Yue's expression was more complicated, her eyes were half-closed, her eyes were dim and unclear, and the room was silent for a moment.
"Giggle..." Unlike his mother, the chubby little guy didn't have any worries at all. He was rocking Xiaoju back and forth on the Arhat bed, smiling happily.
The young couple both looked at the little guy who was enjoying himself. His big eyes smiled into a cute crescent shape. Nangong Yue couldn't help but smile too, her expression gradually relaxed, and the corners of her mouth turned up.
Xiao Yi exerted a little force, pulled Nangong Yue into his arms, and said with a smile: "Ah Yue, I heard that there are many Gobi desert grasslands over there in Xiye. Although they are not suitable for long-term living in southern Xinjiang, they are different. Style. After Xiaobai and I defeat Xiye, can we go over there and play together?"
Nangong Yue no longer thinks about the turmoil in the royal capital. No matter in the past or present, Dayu seems to be unable to escape the established trajectory and is destined to decline...
Unlike their southern region, which is full of vitality and vast seas and skies!
Nangong Yue, who was leaning in Xiao Yi's arms, closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, her dark pupils were clear.
"Okay, Ayi, let's go together!" Nangong Yue looked up to him and nodded vigorously.
"Meow!"
At this time, Xiao Ju on the side finally couldn't bear it any more, and excitedly twisted her limp body in the little guy's arms, but the little guy fell asleep holding the cat at some point.
Nangong Yue was a little funny, so she quickly took Xiao Yu's quilt from the side and stuffed it into his arms. Xiao Ju was finally able to get away, and the orange hair all over her body was rubbed wilted by the little guy.
Xiao Ju landed lightly on the ground, turned around and glared at Nangong Yue with golden cat eyes, "Meow——" and then ran away quickly with her tail raised, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Nangong Yue couldn't help but cover her mouth in laughter. Seeing Xiaoju running away, she suspected that it might not dare to come to Bixiaotang for a few days.
After that, Xiao Ju was nowhere to be seen in Bixiaotang, but Xiao Yu was obsessed with Xiao Ju as his playmate, and ordered the wet nurse and maid to take him to find Xiao Ju every day. Fortunately, the palace was big enough, and Xiao Judong Hiding in Tibet, I was found only once in three days...
On this night, I could hear the screams of cats, whether they were sad or excited, coming from the Bixiao Hall. They were heard constantly, adding a bit of vitality to the night in the palace.
At this time, Baihua Street in the east of the city was even more lively and noisy than Bixiaotang.
This Baihua Street is the famous brothel street in Luoyue City. The street is full of Qin Lou and Chu palaces. It is deserted during the day, but suddenly changes its appearance at night, with lights and colors. At a glance, I can see that All kinds of lanterns illuminate the entire Baihua Street as bright as day, and the singing and melodious sounds of "baiya ya ya" are heard everywhere. Occasionally, you can see some people wearing bellybands and veils. Charming women come out to solicit customers.
On the bustling street, people were coming and going. A young man wearing a brocade robe, with a pale face and a thin body, galloped along Baihua Street and arrived at the busiest three-story attic in the middle of the street with a clear goal. He stopped his horse in front of him.
"Brother Lu, isn't this Brother Lu?" A man's sharp voice suddenly came from behind.
Lu Jiu turned over and dismounted neatly, and looked around, only to see a wealthy middle-aged businessman with a big belly striding towards him with a smile on his face.
"Brother Huang!" Lu Jiu suddenly remembered and cupped his hands towards the other party with a smile.
At this time, the young Mr. Turtle came up quickly from inside. He diligently held the horse's rope for Mr. Lu, and then ordered the handyman to take the horse to the stable.
"Brother Lu, why haven't you come to Hongxiao Pavilion for so long?" The man surnamed Huang walked up to Mr. Lu, patted his left shoulder and said affectionately, "Brother and a bunch of brothers are thinking of you so much. !"
Lu Jiu sighed and said helplessly: "Brother Huang, you don't know that I used up all the money last time and had to give a piece of jade pendant to the madam. This time I also went home to get the money. , I came here in a hurry, because I was afraid that the madam would sell the little brother’s jade pendant, and the little brother would burst into tears!”
"How could it be possible!" Mr. Gui on the side said with an apologetic smile, "How dare we, the madams, sell Mr. Lu's things!"
"That's good! That's good!" Lu Jiu laughed loudly.
The man surnamed Huang raised his eyebrows thoughtfully and asked: "Brother Lu, from your tone, it seems that the origin of your jade pendant is not simple. Is it a jade pendant passed down from your family?"
"That's not true, but it's tighter than the family heirloom jade pendant!" Lu Jiu said as he and the man surnamed Huang walked towards the gate of Hongxiao Pavilion, "This was given to me by my beloved woman. It’s a token of love, I’ll redeem it no matter what!”
"Brother Lu is so handsome and unrestrained, I guess his sweetheart is also a goddess, right? Brother Lu is so lucky..." The man surnamed Huang said enviously.
The conversation between the two men attracted the curious eyes of some passers-by, who wanted to see what kind of romantic figure would deposit a token of love from his lover in a brothel...
