pet queen [rebirth]

Sure enough, Emperor Xuan Cheng did not pursue the matter of the sixth prince falling into the water too much after that, but just said "There is not enough evidence, as long as Rui'er is fine".

Concubine Yun made a lot of complaints about this, but there was nothing she could do.

As time passed, Emperor Xuan Cheng's body became weaker and weaker, but he paid more and more attention to King Duan.

The drought in the south of the Yangtze River had not been resolved before, and the floods began again in the summer. The people complained endlessly. Emperor Xuancheng had no choice.

This is already the second time that Emperor Xuancheng sent Prince Duan to Jiangnan to supervise the embezzlement of the disaster relief bank, but last time, Prince Duan was accompanied by his party members, and King Duan was constrained everywhere. This time, Emperor Xuancheng gave King Duan a great deal. Right, almost entrusting the matter to him.

It's no wonder that Emperor Xuan Cheng's energy is getting worse day by day, and it is difficult to go to court every day, as if he can't control so much.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was about to come, Xiao Qian brought Su Mingmo into the palace to greet the queen, and the queen accidentally mentioned to Xiao Qian the recent developments in the harem.

"During the time the emperor was ill, Concubine Shu and Concubine Yun were addicted to dramas. The two took this opportunity to compete for favor, and this scene was quite interesting."

"How is your father?" Xiao Qian asked the queen.

"You've got the point." The queen glanced at Xiao Qian, and signaled Liu Yue to close the door.

Just as she was about to speak, she glanced at Su Mingmo who was beside Xiao Qian.

Su Mingmo understood, and immediately stood up knowingly and said: "Mingmo will step back first."

Xiao Qian was about to call him to stop, thinking about the queen's attitude towards him, he decided to give up.

"I have my own cronies in the Grand Hospital. Except for this palace, few people really know about it. The people in the Grand Hospital said that if the emperor can survive this winter, it will be auspicious. If he can't, then he really can't." gone."

Xiao Qian was startled.

The Tai Hospital said so, which meant that Emperor Xuan Cheng didn't have much time.

Whether he can survive this winter is all an excuse, the imperial doctor can't just say that the emperor is dying, it may really be the last time limit.

"How could it be?" Xiao Qian couldn't believe it, "Father is still in the morning court today."

"Then how do you say that not many people know about this matter?" The Queen drank a cup of tea and said, "He sent King Duan to the south of the Yangtze River, and you will know what he meant. Some things are not easy to handle with King Duan , I also listened to the judgment of the imperial physician before I knew who the emperor really liked. Although the court seems to be calm recently, the emperor has changed a lot of officials in private. If you look carefully, the ones replaced are all Tang. The power of the family."

"It's impossible for the Tang family to support the sixth prince, and it's impossible for them to support King Duan. However, King Duan is ambitious, so he won't be led by the nose by the current Tang family."

"The most interesting thing is that those who were replaced were all Qing School from the original court."

"Some of those people are veterans of the two dynasties, and some have offended the emperor because of their remonstrance, but the emperor doesn't care about the previous suspicions. Guess why?"

"Because they are the real 'royalists'," the queen smiled, "those pedantic schools of invitation, when the emperor doesn't want them, he discards them like trash, and when he thinks of them, he is in a hurry to invite them back. As you can hear, the emperor You even made up your mind to invite Wei Liang back?"

Xiao Qian was lost in thought.

Indeed, at this time, if you want to pave the way for the sixth prince, you can only rely on the Qing School.

The queen's mother's family, the Cheng family, would not help the sixth prince, and the Tang family would not.

Now that King Duan's power is growing, who knows how many people he has won over in the court, Wei Liang has never participated in these matters since he resigned from office and returned to his hometown, but he is the most trustworthy.

It seems that the queen really guessed what Emperor Xuan Cheng was thinking.

"Qian'er," the queen finally said, "you can't wait any longer, you must seize this opportunity, the future life, death and wealth of your mother will all depend on you!"

Xiao Qian withdrew from Yong'an Palace.

Su Mingmo was standing outside waiting, when he saw Xiao Qian coming out, he rushed up to meet him: "What did the queen say?"

Xiao Qian shook his head, indicating that it is inconvenient to speak here, and returned to Prince Ning's Mansion with Su Mingmo.

As soon as he entered Prince Ning's mansion, someone came to announce: "My lord, Mr. Su Boyuan is asking to see you."

Suboyuan?

What is he doing here?

Xiao Qian thought for a while and said, "Please come in."

Su Boyuan was in a deep thought, and almost tripped over the threshold when he entered the front hall.

"Father!" Su Mingmo couldn't help calling him.

"Don't worry, Ziyu," Xiao Qian couldn't help laughing, "Yue Zhang has a good thing coming, and he can't get back to his senses for a while."

"My lord was joking..." Su Boyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "My lord, this morning the emperor suddenly summoned the lower official alone, saying that he would be nominated to be the Minister of the Household Department. This... what is going on?"

Xiao Qian heard about this matter early in the court, but he didn't think of that level at the time. Now, after combining what the queen said, he knows what Emperor Xuancheng meant. cheat it.

Xiao Qian thought it was really funny, his father-in-law was really like a tortoise, he had perfected the ability to shrink his head when encountering troubles.

Su Boyuan said again: "My lord, I heard that the family teacher Wei Liang was also urgently summoned by the emperor to return to the capital recently, and the family teacher may have already left now, could it be... Could it be that the court is about to change?"

"Wei Liang has already left?" Xiao Qian was surprised.

"Yes, I just received a letter from Fei Ge, which is a hand letter from my teacher. I took a look at it, and then hurriedly came to find the prince..."

Su Boyuan took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Xiao Qian, and said tremblingly: "This, this is... the emperor is dying?"

It has to be said that although Su Boyuan has practiced the great method of shrinking, his sense of smell is really sensitive in the face of such things that endanger his personal interests. Things that Xiao Qian has not noticed for a while, but he guessed them right away. up.

"What is father-in-law afraid of?" Xiao Qian took a look, returned the letter to Su Poyuan, and said, "Since Mr. Wei can be invited back by the emperor, isn't that a good thing? I haven't congratulated Mr. father-in-law for his promotion. After the father-in-law has developed, don't forget about this king."

"My lord is joking," Su Boyuan was sweating even more when he heard Xiao Qian's words, "If... if there is something wrong with the emperor, then you, my lord..."

As Su Boyuan said, he turned to look at Su Mingmo.

Su Mingmo was taken aback.

For a moment, Xiao Qian didn't expect that Su Boyuan would bring the topic up to Su Mingmo, but after thinking about it carefully, he came back to his senses.

This father-in-law actually really cares about Su Mingmo.

No matter whether it is King Duan or the sixth prince succeeding to the throne, the situation is very unfavorable for Xiao Qian. At this time, Su Boyuan will actually think about Su Mingmo, which is gratifying.

Xiao Qian said with a smile: "There is no need for my father-in-law to worry about this. I will take good care of Ziyu. If my father-in-law has nothing else to do, then please go back."

Xiao Qian asked Sixian to see off the guests.

"My lord..." Before Su Boyuan finished speaking, he was invited out of the palace by Xiao Qian.

Since even Su Boyuan has guessed, Bao Buqi and others have seen the clues, the news that Wei Liang is going back to Beijing has not been spread yet, but sooner or later the people in the court will know, after all, Wei Liang is already on the way , will arrive in Beijing in a few days.

Xiao Qian decided to enter the palace to meet Emperor Xuancheng.

That night, Xiao Qian was led into Mingxin Hall by Li Youde.

Emperor Xuancheng was lying on the dragon bed, as if he was ten years older. He coughed and said, "Qian'er is here."

Perhaps because he was not wearing a dragon robe, and Emperor Xuan Cheng had loose hair, he looked much weaker than in front of people during the day.

Xiao Qian saluted, stood up and said, "Royal Father."

"Come here." Emperor Xuan Cheng waved to him.

Perhaps because he knew what Xiao Qian might have noticed, Emperor Xuan Cheng asked directly: "Why do you suddenly think of coming to visit Emperor Father at night?"

Xiao Qian didn't hide anything from him: "I heard that Mr. Wei was invited back to Beijing by his father."

Emperor Xuancheng nodded, and said: "Wei Liang... Although this person is outspoken, and occasionally speaks disrespectfully against me, he is a loyal and good man. Previously, I just asked him to resign. He's coming back."

Xiao Qian was silent for a moment, and said: "What does the emperor mean by this?"

Emperor Xuancheng coughed and said, "Qian'er, although I have been confused in some things in my life, at least I have never been ashamed of my ancestors. You help me pacify Beiman and Langxia, and return to the frontier side. The people have lived peacefully for ten years, I should thank you, in this way, I will go to see the first emperor later, so I can have an explanation to him..."

Xiao Qian didn't speak.

Emperor Xuancheng knew that he understood his words, and said: "Qian'er, Rui'er is still too young, you know what the father means, that day in the imperial garden, you and the Su family boy jumped down to rescue Rui'er, You promise me that you will help Rui'er more in the future, and I can make a decree, up to ten years, after ten years you can reconcile with that kid from the Su family, and after that... you can marry any girl you want. "

It's good that Emperor Xuancheng didn't mention this, but when he mentioned it, he completely broke up the little father-son relationship in Xiao Qian's eyes. Xiao Qian sneered and said: "That's unnecessary, Father, The minister will not reconcile, let alone divorce his wife, never for the rest of his life, don't worry."

Emperor Xuancheng closed his eyes and said: "That's good. Qi'er has been in the south of the Yangtze River for some time, and he will come back soon. Father's body is getting worse day by day. There are some things that I really don't care about." Come on, Qian'er, you should take care of yourself. Wei Liang will be back soon. I have nominated Su Boyuan as Minister of the Household Department. Su Boyuan's eldest son, Su Mingchen, also nominated him to be the deputy commander of the guards. Knowing that you are capable, you must not let what happened to Yuan Hua happen again between you brothers..."

After Emperor Xuancheng finished speaking, he coughed heavily: "You...you are all my sons, I can't bear to see your brothers fight against the wall, and, and, promise me, no matter what, I will save Yuanhua's life in the future, And Yuan Qi too, Qian'er, can you do it?"

What Emperor Xuan Cheng said, seemed to have thrown all important matters on Xiao Qian's shoulders, and those who didn't know thought it was a dying entrustment.

Xiao Qian was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I know."

Back at the palace, Xiao Qian lay on the bed with Su Mingmo after freshening up, and Su Mingmo asked him, "What did the emperor say?"

"Help the sixth prince succeed to the throne, save the prince and Prince Duan, and from now on, I can do whatever I want." Xiao Qian said with his eyes closed.

"The emperor really said that?" Su Mingmo asked him.

Xiao Qian opened his eyes and chuckled lightly.

Su Mingmo thought about the intention behind these words of Emperor Xuan Cheng, and said: "Perhaps the emperor really doesn't want to see you fighting to the death for the throne, he wants to protect the crown prince, and he also wants to protect the king, I believe that. , Your majesty is sincere."

"En." Xiao Qian just responded.

Su Mingmo worried again: "But is Prince Duan coming back soon? The emperor recalled Uncle Wei and promoted and replaced so many officials in the court. This move may arouse Prince Duan's suspicion. Your lord, you have to pay more attention at that time." careful."

Xiao Qian gave another "hmm", and suddenly said: "Zi Yu, the Japanese king vaguely heard Jia Yi asking about Si Xian a while ago, saying that you lost a boudoir book at some point in your room, what is that?"

"Cough cough cough..." Su Mingmo suddenly choked on his own saliva, "What boudoir treasure book, don't you know?"

"Oh..." Xiao Qian hooked the corner of his lips and said, "Really?"

This Jiayi, looking for some boudoir treasures all of a sudden, really wants to kill him!

Afraid of Xiao Qian's questioning, Su Mingmo turned sideways quietly, with his back to Xiao Qian, said "I'm sleepy, my lord should sleep too", and then closed his eyes.

After a while, seeing that Xiao Qian didn't ask any more questions, Su Mingmo gradually felt relieved.

Xiao Qian waited for his breathing to slow down, laughed, stretched out his hand, hugged Su Mingmo lightly, and took him into his arms.Feeling the body temperature of the other party gradually passing, Xiao Qian closed his eyes with peace of mind, and fell asleep with Su Mingmo.
