Shoukang Palace.

King Cheng was sitting there drinking tea. The Queen Mother helped him to persuade the emperor to take back Cheng's life, but he did not leave.

Hearing the voice of a palace maid greeting the Queen Mother from outside the palace, King Cheng put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up to greet her.

The Queen Mother walked in holding the hand of the palace maid, and King Cheng asked, "Has the Queen Mother persuaded the Emperor?"

The Queen Mother said, "The Ai family asked the emperor to choose another fief for you in the north."

King Cheng said, "Even the Queen Mother can't convince the Emperor, so the Emperor must change my fiefdom?"

The Queen Mother sat down and said, "Do you know about the mines in Wangzhou?"

King Cheng was shocked.

He quickly took two steps forward, "Who said that there is a mine in Wangzhou?"

The Queen Mother said, "Someone secretly reported to the Emperor that there is a gold mine in Wangzhou, your fiefdom. The memorial has been in the hands of the Emperor for several days. The Emperor has not made up his mind to take back the fiefdom. You are his brother-in-law, and he is sending it to you as his elder brother. A gold mine would be fine, but there was a flood in Wangzhou and the treasury was empty. It was difficult to allocate money and food for disaster relief, so the emperor took the opportunity to take Wangzhou back. "

"The emperor thinks about the country and the country and puts his flesh and blood feelings behind. This is his responsibility as an emperor."

King Cheng was confused. He didn't know whether he heard it wrong or his mother remembered it wrongly. "Gold mine? How could there be a gold mine in Wangzhou? Did the Queen Mother hear it wrong?"

The Queen Mother looked at Cheng Wang and said, "If it's not a gold mine, could it be an iron mine?"

"If it was iron ore, even if it was just a secret report, the emperor would have sent people to Wangzhou to verify it. Why would he wait until today?"

"The emperor hasn't sent anyone to Wangzhou yet, and is still hesitant, thinking that even if it's false, you are his royal brother, and he will have nothing to do with changing you to a better fiefdom. But if you don't want Yuzhou, the Ai family will Let him pick another one for you in the north."

There are rumors that there is a gold mine in Wangzhou, even if it is false, if this news spreads, Wangzhou will not be his fiefdom.

King Cheng's eyes were cold.

I used to think that I would be able to sit back and relax by killing the people who went to check for iron ore, but in the end I still underestimated the people behind it.

He actually sent a secret message directly to the emperor, using gold mines to lure the emperor to send people to Wangzhou to check for iron mines!

King Cheng did not speak, and the Queen Mother looked at him, "Why don't you speak?"

King Cheng said hurriedly, "My son doesn't know about the gold mine in Wangzhou. Everything is subject to the arrangements of the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

The Queen Mother was quite satisfied with this answer.

King Cheng was about to resign. At this time, Aunt Zhao walked in. Seeing that King Cheng was there, she was not ready to reply. As a result, the Queen Mother asked, "How is Princess Cheng doing?"

Aunt Zhao went to visit Princess Cheng. She had just returned to the palace when she came back and said, "Princess Cheng is still the same as the previous few days, and her condition has not improved."

The Queen Mother looked at King Cheng, "Why is there no improvement at all? These quack doctors in the palace can't even cure someone who falls into the water and catches the cold?!"

Cheng Wang said, "Cold is easily cured, but fright is the root of the disease."

The Queen Mother also knew that Princess Cheng was very frightened after being pushed into the well, but it had been so many days and she was still not feeling better. Princess Ling was pregnant and fell into the lotus pond as if nothing had happened, and Princess Cheng was not as courageous as a Junior?

Aunt Zhao stood aside and said, "Today, I went to visit Princess Cheng. Princess Cheng looked sad. She was afraid that she was not going to die soon, and she was worried that it would affect Princess Yong'an's marriage. Please, Queen Mother, please choose a house for Princess Yong'an as soon as possible. Marriage."

Princess Yong'an has reached the age of marriage, and Princess Cheng is really going to die of illness. Princess Yong'an will have to observe mourning for her for three years.

The Queen Mother thought, "Is she already this sick?"

Aunt Zhao said nothing.

The Queen Mother looked at King Cheng, "Can Doctor Tao please visit Princess Cheng?"

King Cheng shook his head.

The Queen Mother showed her displeasure. She knew that Princess Cheng did not want to become a king. She had forced him to marry her, but after so many years of marriage, Princess Cheng had given birth to a pair of children for him, so she did not care about Princess Cheng's illness. Are you so concerned? !

Seeing that the Queen Mother was a little angry, King Cheng immediately stood up and said, "I will go and invite Doctor Tao right now."

Before the Queen Mother could speak, King Cheng had already bowed and left.

Watching King Cheng leave, Nanny Zhao looked at the Queen Mother and hesitated to speak.

The Queen Mother saw it and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Aunt Zhao said, "For Princess Yong'an's marriage, Princess Cheng has a favorite candidate."

"Who?" asked the Queen Mother.

"Son of General Cui."

The Queen Mother frowned, "Why didn't you say it in front of King Cheng?"

Aunt Zhao said, "Princess Cheng said that she did not dare to speak to King Cheng. She knew that King Cheng would not agree, but as a mother, she did not ask Princess Yong'an to marry rich and powerful, but only wanted him to be of good character. In this life, she has listened to you, the Queen Mother, and to the king, but when it comes to Princess Yong'an's marriage, she wants to be in charge, and begs the Queen Mother to help her. "

With that said, Aunt Zhao took out a ten thousand tael silver note from her arms and said, "Princess Cheng gave me ten thousand taels in order to ask my slave to help her bring these words to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother's eyes fell on the bank note and said, "I'll give you ten thousand taels with just a few words. It seems like you really don't have much time left..."

Aunt Zhao said, "General Cui is the eldest brother of Mrs. Xuanpinghou, and Xuanpinghou is on the side of Prince Ling. I have persuaded Princess Cheng, and you, the Queen Mother, will not agree to marry Princess Yongan to Young Master Cui. But Princess Cheng still insisted on letting the slave help her carry the message..."

The Queen Mother said, "With such persistence, it seems that he is determined to give Yong'an to Young Master Cui."

"That's all, just follow her."

Aunt Zhao was surprised, "Do you agree, Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother said, "Princess Cheng will not harm Yong'an. She is doing it for Yong'an's good, and this is her last wish. The Ai family cannot bear to let her leave with regrets."

"King Cheng's place..."

The Queen Mother said, "I don't care about my princess's condition. When the princess really passes away, the Ai family will not be able to decide on Yong'an's marriage."

In the house, Shen Wan was doing embroidery, but her belly had grown rapidly recently, and her waist became very sore after sitting for a long time. She stood up after not embroidering for a while.

After walking around the house for a few times, Xie Jingyan came back. Seeing her holding her waist, he asked, "What's wrong with your waist?"

"Backache," Shen Wan said.

Xie Jingyan said, "Let Dr. Tao come and take a look at you?"

Shen Wan said, "It's useless to look at it. It will make your back more and more sore in the future."

Mrs. Fourth and Mrs. Yun told her that during pregnancy, her waist would be so sore that it was unlike her own in the later stages, especially if her belly was big and she would have to hold her belly when turning over. She had just started.

Shen Wan asked, "Why does my father want you to enter the palace?"

Xie Jingyan said, "Ask me about the flood in Wangzhou."

Shen Wan guessed that this was also the reason. Just as she was about to speak, a maid came in and stood outside the bead curtain and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Cheng is here and wants to ask Doctor Tao to treat Princess Cheng..."

Shen Wan frowned.

The person who wanted Princess Cheng's life was King Cheng, and King Cheng actually came to ask Doctor Tao to treat Princess Cheng...

After curing, we still have to kill, so why bother?

In order to block the mouth of Youyou in the world?

Shen Wan didn't have the slightest fondness for Cheng Wang.

She wondered, "Does it require King Cheng to come in person to invite Doctor Tao?"

Xie Jingyan said, "King Cheng is just here."

But even if he knew that King Cheng was here and King Cheng came to visit, Xie Jingyan, as a junior, had to go and greet him.

Xie Jingyan went to the front yard, where King Cheng was waiting in the main hall.

Xie Jingyan pretended not to know and said, "Just send someone to ask Doctor Tao. Why did Uncle Cheng come in person?"

King Cheng looked at Xie Jingyan and said, "Didn't King Ling know about the flood in Wangzhou in advance?"

Xie Jingyan said, "I just said this to my father. Uncle Cheng thinks that I want to know, so how can I not take precautions in advance?"

"That's true," Cheng Wang said.

At this time, Manager Zhou came in and said, "Your Majesty, Doctor Tao is done."

King Cheng stood up and Xie Jingyan escorted him out of the palace.

King Cheng left on horseback, and Prince Yanping and Tang Ze rode over. Seeing Xie Jingyan at the gate, Prince Yanping smiled and said, "Whose favor did you get to let Prince Ling greet us at the gate?"

Xie Jingyan said, "Are you here for a meal?"

Prince Yanping, "..."

Cough slightly.

Prince Yanping said, "We are not here to have a serious meal this time. We are here to visit Lu Cheng and have a meal along the way."

Is it possible to distinguish between serious and improper eating?

Knowing that Xie Jingyan had a good relationship with Prince Yanping, Manager Zhou said, "I'll ask Li Yuchu to cook more dishes."

Tang Ze said, "Let Chef Li cook a braised fish."

Manager Zhou said, "..."

This is also served.

They are really no strangers to their prince.

However, Manager Zhou was happy that they came often.

In the past, Xie Jingyan broke his legs and had to live in a wheelchair all day long. In addition, because of Concubine Chen, except for the eighth prince, the other princes could not come to Prince Ling's Mansion once a year. Only Prince Yanping and the others, even if the prince refused them thousands of miles away. In addition, I often come to the palace to sit and sit.

These stewards all saw it, not to mention that in order to save Prince Yanping, the prince forged a gold medal for immunity from death and blocked the imperial edict, not to mention just letting them have a meal. Besides, these princes are not People who are short of food.

Several people got off their horses and entered the house. Xie Jingyan said, "I don't have time to eat with you."

"So busy? You don't even have time to eat?" Tang Ze blurted out.

"I want to have dinner with the princess."

"..."

The corner of Tangze's mouth twitched.

This gave King Ling another chance to show his affection.

Prince Yanping smiled and said, "I didn't ask you to accompany me. If you really accompany us, you have neglected the princess, and we are really embarrassed to come to share the meal."

Xie Jingyan stayed away from them, sent them to see Lu Cheng, and then returned to Mo Yuxuan.

Lu Cheng didn't expect that Prince Yanping and Tang Ze had come to see him in the morning, and then came again when they had free time at noon, and he was very moved.

Having such good brothers makes this life worth it.

However, Lu Cheng was not moved for a while and realized that he was moved too early.

He was seriously injured and the wound had not yet healed, so he needed to eat light food. Doctor Tao specially asked the big kitchen to cook him some light dishes, but Prince Yanping and the others ate big fish and meat, which filled the house with fragrance.

The fragrant Lu Cheng wanted to cut off his robes and sever ties with them.

What's even more outrageous is that when they left, they said, "You have been recuperating in Prince Ling's Mansion for the past few days, and we will come to eat with you every day."

Lu Cheng was so angry that his wound almost burst open.

What a great brother to him.

I feel ready to draw the sword.
