Jiangshan Ji

For several nights in a row, I used the excuse that I was not feeling well, and closed the door early to rest.When Yu Wenchang came back from court, he was often stopped outside the hall by my order and not allowed to enter.

During the day, I stayed with Zhaoer all day.When he was awake, I would play with him and amuse him; when he was asleep, I would keep my eyes open and watch him without blinking, as if twelve hours were not enough.

In this regard, Yu Wenchang has never had an attack, but according to my understanding of him, he is just waiting for an excuse, and once the fuse appears, he will explode completely like ignited gunpowder.

This fuse appeared sooner than expected.

On that day, Zhao'er developed a fever without warning.His whole body was burning red, and he was crying endlessly in the arms of the wet nurse.Several imperial physicians took turns to diagnose and treat, but none of them could explain why.

Seeing Zhao'er crying heartbreakingly, my heart felt as if it was torn apart.

In the past, when I saw the words "heart-wrenching" in books, I still couldn't understand its deep meaning.It wasn't until today that I realized how much unspeakable grief was hidden behind it.

Qinghe went to invite Yu Wenchang, who was in court, to come back, but he was not seen until sunset.

I don't know how many times the drum beat.Qinghe trotted into the palace, saw the palace full of people, bit her lower lip tightly, and said nothing.

I turned my voice cold and asked, "Where is King Jin?"

Qinghe falters and refuses to answer.

Looking at the pale Zhao'er, I said weakly, "It's okay, where is King Jin, just tell me."

She looked a little hesitant, and after a long time, she approached me, leaned down, and whispered in my ear: "After the court meeting ended, Your Highness left the Hanyuan Hall, and I don't know where she went."

I rubbed the sore brows, "Where did you go?"

Qinghe looked dodged, didn't dare to look at me, lowered her head guiltily, and hummed "um" after a long time.

"You are so brave, you dare to lie to me! Where did King Jin go, do you tell me or not?"

My tone was unprecedentedly severe, which caught Qinghe a little off guard.

Her legs trembled, she knelt down with a "plop", kowtowed her head and replied, "I dare not lie to the princess! The princess forgives me!"

Qinghe has always been loyal to me, but seeing me so angry now, she doesn't want to reveal where Yu Wenchang has gone, which is enough to show that the truth must be ashamed to tell.

At least, it will definitely not benefit me or Yu Wenchang's reputation.

In fact, I have already guessed something in my heart, but I still don't want to believe it.

Qinghe still knelt on the ground, not daring to get up.The rest of the palace servants also knelt on the ground, not daring to vent their anger.

A deep sense of powerlessness spread from the soles of my feet to my whole body, making me just want to fall down and sleep for a long time.

But my Zhao'er hasn't recovered yet, as his mother and concubine, I must not fall down at this moment.

I ordered Qinghe to get up, ordered several imperial physicians to stay, and the rest of the palace staff all retreated, only a few of us were left in the hall to look after Zhao'er.

Qinghe squeezed a handkerchief for me.Wipe Zhao'er carefully.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the sky has turned blue, and Zhao'er has always been feverish, and has already started talking nonsense.

Several imperial physicians took turns taking pulse again, after a while, they deliberately avoided me.Went to discuss the illness outside the hall.

In fact, they don't know that I am a very good doctor, as long as I diagnose the pulse myself, I can see some ways to Zhao'er's illness.

I vaguely know that I am afraid of something.

what is it then?

Perhaps it was because I was worried that my child would be found to be terminally ill after taking the pulse, and there was no cure for it.

As soon as this terrible thought hit my mind, I couldn't get it out of my mind.

A ghostly voice came from nowhere, repeating in my ear over and over again: Your Zhaoer is hopeless!

I held Zhao'er's hand tightly and stared at his pale face without blinking.I'm afraid that in the next second, he will leave me.

Qing He brought a bowl of porridge and wanted to serve me.

I asked Qinghe: "Zhao'er's complexion has improved, he will wake up soon, and will be able to bounce around again soon, right?"

How I wish Qing He could give me an affirmative answer, even a little nod of the head would make me feel better.

But this silly girl never knew how to lie to please me, so she couldn't speak now, she just turned her face away and secretly wiped her tears.

What is she crying for?

My Zhaoer is fine.What is there to cry about?

Thinking this way in my heart, I still couldn't lie to myself, and couldn't help but shed tears.

After guarding for several hours, Yu Wenchang still did not come back. Empress Chen came to visit and said that she had personally sent someone to look for it.

The palace man came in with his head down.I went out again with my head down, no one said a word of comfort to me, they all kept silent, each doing the thing at hand.

When the imperial physician came in to see Zhao'er again, he was fed a bowl of ginseng soup.

What is the use of ginseng soup, I know very well.

That's a deadly thing!

up to this moment.I couldn't restrain myself any longer, so I rushed forward, knocked the half-fed ginseng soup to the ground, and sternly asked the doctor in the Imperial Hospital who was in charge: "Your Highness is sick like this now, don't you discuss the countermeasures?" , just use some unclear things to fool this princess, you...you are so brave!"

After a few words, I felt powerless, and when my eyes went dark, I fell straight to the ground.

When I woke up again, the surrounding area was quiet, without any sound.

I wanted to sit up and have a look at Zhao'er, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't make any effort.

Reluctantly opening his eyes, what caught his eyes was Yu Wenchang's dark eyebrows.

He was obviously very tired, he held me firmly in his arms with both hands, lay on his side beside me and fell asleep.

When I made a slight movement, he noticed it and woke up instantly.

He closed and opened his eyes, repeated several times, finally confirmed that this was not his dream, and then said: "Are you awake?"

He has cried.

His voice was hoarse, and the corners of his eyes were red and swollen.

I push his hand away.Ask: "Where is Zhao'er?"

There was a long silence in response to me.

With all my strength, I roared, "Hurry up and bring Zhao'er to me! I want to see my child!"

He stretched out his hand, hugged me in his arms, and said word by word in a voice I had never heard before: "Huaijin, we will have many, many children."

Zhao'er's funeral was held in a very grand manner, because it was a special period when Empress Chen exhorted the Daxing Palace to be frugal.

At the beginning, no one dared to discuss it in front of me even considering that it was not long before I lost my son. After a long time, those people felt that the pain of losing a child is no longer a big deal, so they dared to discuss it in front of me.

Whenever I went to Daye Hall to greet Empress Chen as usual, someone always mentioned this in my ear.

Perhaps it was because this incident blatantly violated Empress Chen's original intention of governing the palace diligently and thriftily, so whenever someone raised dissatisfaction with this matter, Empress Chen did not speak out to stop them, but instead allowed them to discuss.

After Zhao'er left.I kept my words low and didn't have the heart to argue with them.

Since they like to gossip, let them go.

It was late autumn, and Yu Wenjian suddenly fell ill and was unable to preside over the affairs of the DPRK and China.

I heard that Yu Wenjian only allowed Mrs. Luyao to be close to her sickness, and even Empress Chen couldn't always take care of her.

On the other hand, with the support of Empress Chen, Yu Wenchang acted on behalf of the imperial power, handling the affairs of all states and counties, and had fully grasped the power of the court.

Although Yu Wenxuan fell out of favor, he was still the crown prince in name, so he was naturally unwilling to see his younger brother dominate the court.He joined forces with several relatives of the king to force Yu Wenchang to hand over real power on the grounds of forming a party for personal gain.

Yu Wenchang fought back, asking Yu Wenjian, who was ill, to abolish Yu Wenxuan's crown prince on the grounds that virtue was not worthy of his position.

It is really strange to say that in the past, Yu Wenjian has always adhered to the eldest son inheritance system handed down by successive kings, so no matter how outrageous Yu Wenxuan's behavior is, he has never thought of abolishing the prince because of his status as the eldest son.

But now for some reason, in the midst of a serious illness, Yu Wenchang's request was actually granted, agreeing to abolish Yu Wenxuan's crown prince.

Yu Wenxuan has been staying in the Eastern Palace. It is said that when the decree of abolishing the crown prince was passed on, at first he did not believe that his beloved father would be so cruel. King's crime.

Empress Chen personally ordered someone to take back the seal of the prince, and ordered Yu Wenxuan to confine herself to the East Palace and meditate on her past.

Originally thought that the overall situation had been settled, unexpectedly, with the support of several Wang Qi, Yu Wenxuan led four thousand troops in the name of the Qing emperor, and rushed into the Hanyuan Hall, demanding that Yu Wenjian abdicate and inherit the great rule by himself.

This forced palace ended in failure.

Yu Wenchang had already secretly deployed [-] elite soldiers to lurk near the suburbs of Beijing. The spies reported to Yu Wenxuan that he had planned to force the palace. appeared at the door.

The four thousand soldiers led by Yu Wenxuan saw that the situation was over, they threw down their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.

In a panic, Yu Wenxuan ran away, in a panic.

Yu Wenchang ordered that whoever captures Yu Wenxuan will be spared the death penalty and will be given a hundred taels of gold.

Those soldiers vying for credit rushed forward and captured Yu Wenxuan not long after.Yu Wenxuan couldn't resist, and was torn and torn by these people, and was strangled to death in the end.

The palace people present all said later that Yu Wenxuan's death was extremely horrible. There was no good meat on his body, and the blood stained the white jade steps in the middle of the Hanyuan Hall. Clean up.

After I knew this, I couldn't help but have a doubt in my heart.

That day, when Yu Wenxuan forced the palace, he had already completely controlled all the power of the Habayashi Army in Beijing, so where did the six thousand elite soldiers in Yu Wenchang's hands come from?

Thinking about it left and right, I am still puzzled.

Perhaps, after all, I only have a half-knowledge about the affairs of the court, so I can't penetrate the doorway.

This has nothing to do with me, because at this time, I asked myself to leave the palace on the grounds of saving the deceased Zhao'er, and I have lived in Huguo Temple for a long time.
