Zhuo Qihua

Before the flood in Nanyue appeared, Qin Zhongyi led his people out of Nanyue, and they had already done what Zhuo Ji had told them.In Guangnan, the Cangnan Army is on the move. The county magistrate of Guangnan organized thousands of farmers to cooperate with the Cangnan Army to strengthen the embankment to deal with possible floods.The rain in Nanyue is non-stop, and the rain in Guangnan is also pouring.

The sky was thundering, the wind was blowing with heavy rain, and the sky and the earth were darkened.The sky seemed to have a big hole, and the rain poured down without any barrier.Zhuo Ji stood by the window, looking at the rain outside the window, his temples felt like hammering pain.The people of Nanyue outside the city have moved to the highlands.Most of the people in villages in Guangnan that were also hit by floods have been forcibly moved to safe areas.The development of the matter was within Zhuo Ji's expectation, except for the hidden dangers that might be caused by too much rain, everything was under control.But Zhuo Ji was awakened by nightmares for several consecutive nights.Such weather would make ordinary people restless, but for Zhuo Ji, it aroused the fear deep in his heart.

Liu Haoyue stood not far away quietly accompanying Chu Chu.Although he doesn't need to keep watch at night, he also knows that he is always awakened by nightmares these days, and it is difficult to fall asleep again when he wakes up.During the day, the rain was heavy, and even if he took a nap, the time was very short.Liu Haoyue didn't know what was bothering her, causing her to have nightmares frequently.He couldn't help thinking about some of the things he had said, especially that he had said that he had eaten mice and cockroaches.What kind of life did you live in Zhuo's family before entering the palace?Maybe this is the reason why the Holy Majesty ransacked Zhuo's family?

Chang Jing came in from the outside, carrying a tray in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Master, have a bowl of ginseng soup."

Zhuo Ji recovered from some dark emotions, turned around, reached out to pick up the porcelain bowl on the tray, and drank the ginseng soup in silence.Chang Jing: "Master, even if you can't sleep, you should close your eyes and lie down for a while."

Zhuo Ji put the empty bowl back, but said: "I don't know what happened to Qin Zhongyi and the others."

Chang Jing: "I heard that there are more and more people fleeing from Nanyue. It's raining so much outside, even if you want to resettle them, there's nothing you can do."

Zhuo Ji turned and continued to look out of the window, sighing: "So it's not easy to be the king of a country. If there are disasters in Nanyue, so will Mata. In the future, Nanyue will be completely included in the territory of Mata, and His Majesty also needs to worry about the people of Nanyue. You are the patriarch of all the people in the world. The people don’t pay attention to who is sitting on the dragon chair, they only pay attention to who feeds them, who gives them warm clothes. It's going to be chaos. But it's not easy to manage a family well."

Chang Jing: "Master, are you missing Your Majesty?"

Zhuo Ji: "Yes, I miss Your Majesty..."

Beijing, Danyang Palace

After the auspicious news spread to the capital, the court was in an uproar.Emperor Yong'an knew that it was made by his beloved servant, but he would not tell the truth and let the courtiers discuss it.The epidemic situation in Guangnan was stabilized, and Nanyue became chaotic as he wished, but Emperor Yong'an was not very happy, but was extremely anxious, so anxious that he no longer had the heart to act for anyone.

Emperor Yong'an has not recruited anyone to sleep for half a month.Severe winds and floods occurred in southern Guangdong, and floods also occurred in Guangnan. Emperor Yong'an was very worried about Zhuo Ji's situation.The secret letter sent by Lin Yi clearly stated that Zhuo Ji couldn't sleep well at night, and Emperor Yong'an knew the reason why Zhuo Ji couldn't sleep well.Heavy rain and flood are all pictures that can arouse Zhuo Ji's inner fear.Emperor Yong'an had sent a secret decree to Lin Yi, asking Zhuo Ji to return to Beijing first, and he would send Qin Su to go to Nanyue.Zhuo Ji had already made things so far, if Nanyue could not be taken down, then the courtiers could hang themselves collectively to apologize.

Pan Pozhi had already led his army back to North Valley, and all the troops of the Huoqi Battalion who had stayed in Mytoruo City a few years ago had also withdrawn to the capital.All the Jinshi who entered the DPRK this time went to the former Talkin Ministry—now renamed Hanzhou Mansion—to cooperate with Han Zheng and other officials who were already there to manage Hanjiang Mansion. These Jinshi were led by Wan Baoshan.When the imperial decree was issued, some editors and scholars were dissatisfied with this. Emperor Yong'an took several thorns on the spot and ordered that he would never be hired.If you want to be an official, you have to obey the arrangement.Now, these people have followed Pan Pozhi's army to Beigu, and after repairing, they will go to various places in Hanjiang Mansion and take up their posts.

According to the blueprint sent back by Zhuo Ji, the Military Research Institute and the Scientific Research Institute have already made finished products, and they will be mass-produced after passing the test.Emperor Yong'an has already issued a secret order. This time, the Mata country will take advantage of its unpreparedness and take Nanyue in one fell swoop under the excellent situation that Zhuo Ji has already spread.After taking Nanyue, Mata will no longer be threatened by the north and the south, and can devote all its energy to deal with the northern barbarians and Nanzhao.As for Nanzhao, there is nothing to be afraid of at all, and the only serious confidant is the Northern Man.

The Maritime Department has also completed preparations, and only waits for the ship to start sailing after the ship is built.The first batch of personnel to go to sea has also been intensively trained in Dengzhou.Everything is going on in an orderly manner, but his beloved servant is not around to share the joy with him.

Feng Xi came in from the outside at this time, and whispered something hastily to Master, Zhang Xian was shocked.Emperor Yong'an raised his eyes: "What happened?"

Zhang Xian immediately said: "Long live, noble Yelu, it seems that she is pregnant."

Emperor Yong'an's eyes froze in an instant, and he said in a dark tone: "Is she pregnant? Didn't she clean up afterwards, didn't she drink the soup?"

Zhang Xian: "The nanny who delivered the medicine watched her drink it with her own eyes. It's just that you once said that no matter whether you clean up afterwards or drink Bizi soup, there is no guarantee that you will never get pregnant. The reason why the concubines in the palace did not Something went wrong before, and it was also because of her young age, weak body, and her health being hurt by avoiding Zitang, so it was not easy to conceive." As for the concubines, His Majesty's favorites recently are Shi Fangxiu and Yelu Buyan.It was no surprise that Yelu Buyan was pregnant.

Emperor Yong'an had indeed heard Zhuo Ji say this.The maid served the bed, if Emperor Yong'an didn't keep the dragon seed, he wouldn't have ejaculated at the place of conception, but the concubine couldn't help it.Every time Emperor Yong'an summoned Yelu Buyan and Shi Fangxiu to attend his bedtime, he ordered that no dragon species be left behind, but he did not expect that some of them slipped through the net.

Emperor Yong'an: "She found the imperial physician?"

Zhang Xian: "No. Jinhua said that Mr. Yelu's appetite has not been good these days, and the sunflower water has been late for many days. A personal maid next to Mr. Yelu seems to know some medical skills. Mr. Yelu is very mysterious these days, I am afraid it is true There are."

Emperor Yong'an said coldly: "Whether it's true or not, I don't want to see a northern barbarian woman give birth to my dragon heir. Before Shunxi comes back, this trouble will be eliminated for me."

Zhang Xian: "Yes."

In Huaqing Palace, Yelu Buyan was very nervous.She appears to be pregnant.Every time Emperor Yong'an summoned her to bed, he made her drink Bizi Tang.Yelubu drank the cigarettes because she drank them. After drinking, she used the excuse of cleaning to let others quit, and then secretly induced vomiting with the help of her personal maid.She knew that Emperor Yong'an didn't trust her and Yelu Tangkuo.Tang Kuo was the elder brother, so it was not easy for him to conceive, and Emperor Yong'an didn't give him a chance to conceive.But she is different, as long as she can keep the dragon seed and conceive a dragon heir, her status in the palace and in Emperor Yong'an's heart will be very different.Now, she seems to have gotten her wish!

The gate of Xiangfu Palace is closed all day.Since Emperor Yong'an made the decree, he has not been to Xiangfu Palace once.Mingyu has been under confinement, the queen mother, Huangguixie, Deguixie and Xiguifei have not spoken out, Zhaoyou is also being punished because of the previous incident, Chunyou is a weak person at all.The news of Shun's love falling out of favor was overwhelming.In the palace, it is very common to push the high and step down.It's just that the prestige of Shunji is too strong, and the noble lords of the main palace are also polite to Zhuo Ji. At present, no noble lord of the main palace has jumped out to step on Xiangfu Palace.

Since Zhuo Ji's "illness", the two most favored in the palace are Ye Lu and Shi Fangxiu.Shi Fangxiu was timid, and she knew why she came to Danyang Palace and why she was called to bed by His Majesty, so she stayed in her room unless necessary.Shi Fangxiu had agreed before, but recently she was "favored" and was mentioned as a nobleman.Even so, Shi Fangxiu could not show his face.

In Huaqing Palace, Zheng Yingzhi talked to Yelu Buyan with a flattering face.Among the concubines, Concubine Xi, Concubine Xiao and Concubine Wen have high status, and they don't pay much attention to Yelubuyan at all.Concubine Jing Liu Yanling, Concubine Zhuang Jing Lanzhen and Yuan Nobleman Yuan Susu came later, and the princes of the three are also about the same age, so the three of them are relatively close.Yelu Buyan took the initiative to befriend the three of them, and the three of them were polite to her, but they were more than polite and not enthusiastic enough.The three of them still looked down on Yelu Buyan's Northern Barbarian identity.In addition, the imperial concubine obviously didn't like the Northern Man princess, so they wouldn't be blinded by falling in love with Yelu Buyan.

Now the one who is close to Yelu Buyan is a low-ranking concubine like Zheng Yingzhi who has completely fallen out of favor in the harem, and is not much different from being in the cold palace.Among them, Zheng Yingzhi is the most active.Since Yelu Buyan made friends with her, Zheng Yingzhi's life has become easier, so Zheng Yingzhi came to Huaqing Palace more diligently.Zheng Yingzhi hoped that Yelu Buyan could ask His Majesty to ask her to come here.If she can live in Huaqing Palace, life will be better.

Yelu Buyan learned a lot about the palace affairs from Zheng Yingzhi, especially that Shun Zuo.Yelu Buyan dared not be careless about this person.Emperor Yong'an didn't put that person into limbo for a day, and that person would be her serious worry for a day.Emperor Yong'an could have many concubines by his side, but he could not have such a beloved one, which was not in line with the interests she and Tang Kuo sought after entering the palace.

Yelu Buyan actually doesn't like Zheng Yingzhi.A woman who had long been rejected by Emperor Yong'an was of no help to her.But there are too few people she can use now, and the favored concubines of Emperor Yong'an are unwilling to have too much contact with her, so now she can only settle for the next best thing, and use Zheng Yingzhi who is not favored.Yelu Buyan thought about wooing Shi Fangxiu, but when she went to Shi Fangxiu's place several times, Shi Fangxiu kept her head down and didn't speak, which was very boring.After a few times, Yelu Buyan didn't want to pay attention to that worthless woman anymore.

Yelubuyan felt unwell, and after dealing with Zheng Yingzhi for a while, he yawned again and again.Seeing that she was tired, Zheng Yingzhi laughed a few words and left.

Ah He stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Princess, your body is so delicate these days, my servant sees that Zheng Yingzhi is stupid, you still have to be careful."

Yelu Buyan: "If I didn't have no one to use, I wouldn't bother with her." Speaking of this, she touched her lower abdomen, "As long as this piece of meat can come out safely, I will naturally not need her."

A'He was worried: "My servant is worried that after His Majesty finds out, he will blame the princess."

Yelu Buyan: "Emperor Yong'an hasn't summoned anyone to sleep with him for half a month. I'm afraid the situation in Guangnan is not optimistic. When he is in the mood to call me to sleep with him, the dragon in my belly has already formed. He is the emperor, the tiger Dubushizi, even if he blames me, he can only let me keep this child. I drank the Bizitang in front of my mother. I am pregnant, so I can only say that it is God's will, how can he blame me ? As long as I have Long Zi by my side, I will naturally have a way to capture his heart."

Ah He: "I hope everything goes well."

Zheng Yingzhi, who left Huaqing Palace, walked to Qiyan Palace in a sullen manner.She is now living in a simple house on the west side of Qiongpin Qiyan Palace.Although Zheng Yingzhi still holds the title of nobleman, her status in the palace is not as good as even the lowest promise and Baolin.Now, Yelu Buyan is her only hope of getting out of the predicament.As she walked, Zheng Yingzhi stopped, she didn't want to go back.

"master?"

Zheng Yingzhi's personal maid shouted.

Zheng Yingzhi: "Go to the Royal Garden for a walk, I don't want to go back now."

The maid naturally obeyed.

The weather is fine, it is almost summer, and the temperature is pleasant. In the imperial garden, several noble lords are admiring the flowers.Zheng Yingzhi went to the Royal Garden to see it, and immediately hid.It was self-defeating for her to go like this.Seeing that Concubine Jing, Concubine Zhuang and Yuan Susu in the gazebo didn't notice her, Zheng Yingzhi left in a hurry.

Unable to go to the Imperial Garden and not wanting to go back, Zheng Yingzhi thought about it and walked to the West Third Courtyard.The West Third Courtyard is deserted, and no one likes to go there. There is also a small garden there, so it is most suitable to go there.

The West Third Courtyard is next to the West Eighth Palace, but Zheng Yingzhi is not worried about meeting any maid.The West Third Courtyard is a small cold palace, no one will go there if there is nothing to do.But when Zheng Yingzhi walked to the gate of the West Third Courtyard, she saw two people approaching from a distance.Seeing those two people, Zheng Yingzhi narrowed her eyes.

Xiaohui and Wu Qi talked while walking, and they had just returned from Tianquan Palace.There are some important instruments in Tianquan Palace, which need to be cleaned regularly.Usually, Xiaohui, Chang Jing, Wang Bao, Yuan Xiu, Wu Qi, Wu Ba, the most trusted people around Zhuo Ji, took turns.Chang Jing and Yuan Xiu went to Guangnan, but Chu Chu was not in the palace, Wang Bao was the steward and could not leave casually, Xiao Hui and Wu Qi went there today.In order to confuse the outside world, Wu Qi and Wu Ba also stayed, and they also shouldered the responsibility of protecting the pharmacy.

Zheng Yingzhi naturally recognizes that Xiaohui and Wu Qi are the palace servants around Shunyu.In the past, when seeing these two people, Zheng Yingzhi, a serious harem master, had to be careful to avoid them, but now...

"master?"

Zheng Yingzhi's maid called softly.She naturally saw each other.

Zheng Yingzhi stood still, a thought was spinning rapidly in her mind.She naturally knew that Yelu Buyan looked down on her, but Yelu Buyan was her only chance to get out of the sea of ​​suffering.The other party is the princess of the Northern Man, and His Majesty will not be left out in the cold.As long as Yelu Buyan is willing to protect her, not only will her life in Danyang Palace be easier, but she may even be able to fall into His Majesty's eyes again in the future.

What Yelubuyan said most concerned about Shunjiu, if she helped Yelubuyan find out whether Shunjiu really fell out of favor today, then Yelubuyan would definitely think highly of her, maybe, She will be able to leave Qiyan Palace soon!

Zheng Yingzhi took a step forward, obviously waiting for Xiaohui and Wu Qi.Her servant girl was terrified and hurriedly said: "Master! What are you going to do?"

Zheng Yingzhi: "Although I am not favored now, I am still a serious master. How can I avoid slaves?"

"Master! That's Shunyu's great court lady Hewu Temple!"

Zheng Yingzhi: "Who knows if there will be another 'Shunxi' 俍俍 in Danyang Palace after a while."

"master!"

At this time, Xiaohui and Wu Qi had already approached.The two recognized Zheng Yingzhi and wondered why she came here.But the other party is a nobleman, and the two are slaves, so they won't talk too much about it.Xiaohui and Wu Qi stopped to salute, then raised their feet and continued walking, but Zheng Yingzhi said: "Wait a minute."

Xiaohui and Wu Qi looked over, Xiaohui looked at each other like an idiot.

Zheng Yingzhi looked at Xiaohui: "Which palace are you from? Are you so ignorant of the rules? Don't you know how to kneel before your lord?"

Xiaohui saw a black line on her forehead, did this woman lose her mind?

Xiaohui: "The servant girl is a court lady of the Shun family, and the servant girl has met Mrs. Zheng Gui."

Zheng Yingzhi: "By the way, you are gentle and modest, you are the grand maid of the court, but you are so defiant. Seeing this noble lady who doesn't know how to salute, according to the palace rules, how should I deal with it?"

Xiaohui really felt that this woman was probably sick.Wu Qi: "If Mr. Zheng feels that the servant girl and Maid Hui have disrespected you, then the servant girl and maidservant will go to Suzu to plead guilty."

Zheng Yingzhi was still a little afraid of going along, but she did everything and said her words, so she ran away in such a desperate manner?What's more, she did this to test Yelu Buyan.Zheng Yingzhi turned cold: "Presumptuous! But an eunuch dares to talk back to me!"

"Master!" Zheng Yingzhi's personal servant girl was frightened to death. I don't know why the master is so troublesome for Shunji. Isn't the trouble for Shunji's court lady the trouble for Shunji?

"Shut up!" Zheng Yingzhi yelled at the servant girl, and said to Wu Qi: "Why, can't you threaten me with a scorpion? You two are just slaves, and you don't know how to salute you when you see me. When it comes to the emperor's noble concubine, it is also reasonable for me to be a nobleman!"

Xiaohui and Wu Qi would be fools if they still couldn't see that Zheng Yingzhi did it on purpose.Xiaohui smiled and knelt down with a puff.Seeing this, Wu Qi also knelt down.Xiaohui: "The servant made a mistake, and the servant made an apology to the 'noble man'."

The kneeling of Xiaohui and Wu Qi shocked Zheng Yingzhi.I think when the palace people saw her when she first entered the palace, they were all polite and respectful.But not long after the good times, she was neglected by His Majesty, as if she had been thrown into limbo.When Xiaohui and Wu Qi knelt like this, Zheng Yingzhi seemed to have returned to the time when she was still "favored".

Zheng Yingzhi recovered, with a slightly distorted smile on her face.Why did these two people kneel without saying a word?What does this mean? !It means that that bitch Shunxi has really fallen out of favor!Otherwise, she can't favor noble people to make things difficult for them—it depends on the owner to beat a dog—if Shunxi is still favored, why did the two kneel down so humbly!

Ha ha ha ha!She wants everyone to see what happens to that bitch!That bitch is out of favor!He is out of favor!

"Kneel down for three hours for me!"

Leaving aside her harsh words, Zheng Yingzhi led her maid into the West Third Courtyard in a happy mood.Xiaohui and Wu Qi could still hear Zheng Yingzhi's maidservant whispering worriedly: "Master, they are palace servants who are obedient!"

"What are you afraid of! They knelt before I even said it! Shunxiu... Maybe in a few days, I will only see that Shunxiu in the cold palace!"

Xiaohui and Wu Qi had murderous intent in their eyes, and when the two entered the West Third Courtyard, Wu Qi stood up, but Xiaohui said: "Kneel down. Didn't it mean that the master fell out of favor? We need some people to take a good look at it." Look, has the master fallen out of favor!"

Wu Qi knelt back.
