Yanmenchun

Guo Yan was not dead after being beaten by those drunks, but several of his attendants were dead.

When the people of Duke Cheng's mansion got him into the carriage and brought him back to the mansion, he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood on the carriage before dying.

When he arrived at the mansion, the body began to stiffen. The imperial doctor examined him and found that his internal organs were broken, and several ribs were broken. When he moved, the ribs pierced the internal organs, and he died.

This angered Cheng Guogong, he directly ordered people to kill the gangsters who beat Guo Yan, and also ordered people to kill the young man who brought Guo Yan back.

Guo Yan was his beloved son, and he was beaten to death in such a reckless manner. He couldn't believe that there was no ghost here. After interrogating Guo Yan's attendants, he found out that Guo Yan went there to find Shen Tuchan. of.

Cheng Guogong never expected that a little girl would kill his son.

But he didn't have any evidence to prove that Guo Yan went to find Shen Tuchan and died. Guo Yan committed a crime of death during the national mourning period. The emperor would definitely reprimand him, and he might not even be able to keep his current position.

Mrs. Cheng Guogong cried and passed out. After waking up, she went to Cheng Guogong and asked Guo Yan why Guo Yan died. Obviously, she did not believe that her son died for no reason.

Cheng Guogong disliked the woman's mistake and did not tell her about it. He hated Shen Tuchan in his heart, and only waited for the second prince to become the crown prince, bring down Princess Tai'an, and kill Shen Tuchan to avenge Guo Yan.

Cheng Guogong was finally taken away by the emperor half of the real power in his hands, and he ordered Cheng Guogong's mansion not to allow Guo Yan to be buried generously.

Yu Wenji did not speak for Cheng Guogong, this is a critical moment, but he comforted the emperor, saying that it was Cheng Guogong who hurt the emperor's heart and should be punished.

The emperor felt much better, and Yu Wenji was more pleasing to the eye.

But I don't know what plague god the royal family has provoked recently. Princess Rui is dying and is seriously ill in bed.

The statement given by Prince Rui's Mansion was that the queen mother passed away, and Princess Rui was too sad, so she fell ill.

Li Jingshu laughed out loud after hearing the report from the people outside: "Few people don't know that Princess Rui is annoyed when she sees the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother can't bear the sight of this vixen seducing her two sons in one go. Who thought of this?" speech."

Shen Tuchan held the Pisces ball fan in her hand and fanned it: "The empress dowager originally stopped her, but the emperor wanted to restrain himself for the sake of his mother and younger brother. Once the empress dowager dies, the emperor will probably summon Princess Rui frequently. King Rui will be so useless again. I'm afraid I can't bear it, it's fine if the daughter isn't his own, she's dead anyway, if Princess Rui gives birth to a son of Prince Rui's mansion for the emperor, King Rui probably wants to kill herself on the spot and go underground to complain to the late emperor."

Princess Rui is an elder. Now that she is ill, Princess Tai'an should go to see her, but the queen's attitude towards Princess Rui has always been ambiguous, and Princess Tai'an is afraid of offending the queen.

Shen Tuchan rubbed her hand twice on the fan and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to go, you have to make a big splash and go with great concern and a high profile."

Princess Taian was puzzled.

Li Jingshu took over and said: "Yes, just pretend that you don't know about the matter between Princess Rui and the emperor. If the emperor knows about it, I'm afraid he still feels your filial piety. Seeing that the queen mother has passed away, and Princess Rui is ill, you are worried that there will be no elders, yes She's very caring."

Now Princess Taian understood, but she frowned slightly: "I'm afraid the queen mother will be unhappy."

She is used to flattering her aunt, and has a natural yearning and awe for the queen, even if she changed her mother, she didn't forget it.

Shen Tuchan smiled and said, "Princess, what is the most important thing right now?"

The emperor made a reserve.

Princess Tai'an knows everything, and the purpose is the most important thing, so she nodded and said: "I understand, I will coax her well from the mother's side."

Shen Tuchan was very relieved that when Princess Tai'an was a concubine, she could please her mother-in-law, and as a daughter-in-law, she could naturally please her mother-in-law.

Princess Tai'an went to see Princess Rui with great fanfare, and brought a lot of precious medicinal materials, not to mention, she also said that she and Yu Wenxu were very congenial at that time, and they were like sisters. Since Yu Wenxu is gone, she is willing to serve Princess Rui on behalf of Yu Wenxu. disease.

No one knows what King Rui's heart is like, but the emperor is really consoling, and when he saw Yuwenji, he sighed: "Tai'an is sensible, no wonder she is the most favored princess, Princess Rui is just her aunt. If you put your heart into it like this, if Zhenyang knows it underground, I’m afraid I’m also grateful.”

Yu Wenji's brows twitched when he heard that, others don't know how Princess Tai'an and Yu Wenxu are, but he knows it very well, it's fine if they aren't enemies.

But he still knelt down and said sincerely: "Tai An is kind and filial. When the emperor's grandmother passed away, Tai An couldn't get up from crying."

The emperor grunted and said: "Since that's the case, you should treat her well. I heard that the side concubine in the mansion is pregnant. Don't neglect your wife just because of this."

Yu Wenji kowtowed very receptively, and couldn't help but help his forehead. It's funny that the emperor himself is so virtuous and worried about his sons spoiling their concubines and destroying their wives.

The father and son talked for a while, and the emperor suddenly asked tentatively, "Ji'er, what do you think is the most important thing about being an emperor?"

Yu Wenji was sweating profusely. He bowed his body and said sincerely: "Father, as the Son of Heaven, is responsible for the livelihood of the people in the world. Naturally, only Father can answer this question."

The emperor sighed and said, "I am getting old."

I'm afraid Princess Rui was seriously ill, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Yu Wenji stepped forward to fan the emperor, and said: "Father is in his prime, why is it like this, we sons are still counting on father to raise us!"

After a few more flattering words, the emperor finally smiled and said: "Okay, I know you are filial, but just a few words of emotion, you have a lot to do, so step down."

After Yu Wenji bowed again and left, the emperor sighed and leaned back on the dragon chair.

The chief eunuch stepped forward to beat him on the back, the emperor couldn't help but said: "Ji'er is considered the most sensible of his brothers, and although the second concubine is from a foreign family, she is a peace of mind."

The eunuch didn't dare to say much, and only said softly: "The main thing is that your Majesty is well educated. I still remember that when the second prince was seven or eight years old, when he came to ask you with his homework, it was difficult to enter the imperial study. Now, in the blink of an eye, It's grown so big."

The emperor suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "You said that, I also remembered, at that time he was like a glutinous rice dumpling, chubby, and his younger brothers didn't like to play with him, so he was very dependent on him." I want to talk to me about everything, but I have been reprimanded several times."

The eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty is too busy as a father-in-law."

The emperor nodded: "The empress has been teaching him these years. I have neglected him. His mother and concubine died early. Although the empress is a aunt, she has never given birth to her herself. There is always negligence."

The eunuch did not dare to answer these words, but nodded slightly and did not dare to speak.

The emperor waved his hand away: "Okay, I didn't mean to say that the queen is sorry, I just express my feelings, let's go down."

He was the only one left in the room. He leaned on the back of the chair and sighed. A few days ago, Qin Tianjian kept saying that the season had come, and the prince star had not entered the main palace, and the Ziwei star had no help, so the royal family would be in trouble. , although it cannot threaten Ziweixing, it cannot avoid the panic in the palace.

The emperor listened to it, but he didn't want to hastily establish a crown prince. After all, the main reason was that Yu Wenji was not born to his beloved woman. Neither the concubine he cared about nor Princess Rui gave birth to him. son.

But during this period of time, Yu Wenji's performance made him very gratified. He was filial, obedient and worry-free. Someone, he was starting to feel less forced.
