A Thousand Hills

Chapter 330

The seven-treasure Zhaifeng chariot used by the prince and concubine is very gorgeous, especially now that it is midsummer, Xie Moru is using a summer chariot, surrounded by bright yellow gauze, with pearls and jade jewels hanging down, and there are two beautiful and jade-like palace servants inside she.

The carriage was pulled by four black steeds without a trace of hair, followed by palace maids, maids, internal guards and other attendants.In fact, in the past, Xie Moru used at most two horse-drawn carts when going out, even the palace attendants did not bring so many, most of the princes and concubines in the imperial capital were like this, no one would put on a full-frame ceremonial car just to see the sky.Xie Moru's entry into the palace today is an exception, she brought these people into the palace with great momentum.

The Qibao Zhaifeng chariot arrived directly in front of the main gate of Zhaode Hall. A maid jumped out of the chariot first, and then a servant ran over, kneeling and bowing, and a boot wearing gold thread and silver shoes stepped on the servant's back. , Xie Moru supported the maid and got out of the car.

The servant Yu Fen came out to meet Xie Moru. Eunuch Yu used to be a servant in front of the imperial court, although he was not as respectable as the eunuch Zheng Jia in front of the imperial court, he was quite a respectable person.Now he was haggard, and bowed to greet him more respectfully, and said, "It's such a hot day, why are you here?"

Xie Moru glanced at him, and the little girl was holding an umbrella to cover Princess Xie from the sun.Concubine Xie walked in holding Wisteria's hand, and said to Fen, "Why, the prince has not yet ascended the throne, and you, the seventh-rank servant in the Imperial Palace, started to welcome and send you off. That's why you are not good. , The legs are too fast. Otherwise, look at the important people, who will come out first, and they will all be behind."

Eunuch Yu had a bitter face, and he didn't dare to answer.Ever since the empress was poisoned and killed in Zhaode Palace, His Majesty was diagnosed with poisoning, so how can they have any dignity and status in front of the imperial court?Now he can still run errands in Yangjian, which is considered good.The short-lived one had already gone underground to run errands for King Yama.

Although Eunuch Yu was sent out to stop Xie Moru, but who is Princess Xie, Princess Xie could order him around when she was young, and he has no guts to offend Princess Xie.What's more, if Concubine Xie looks anxious, Eunuch Yu dares to stop her. The more Concubine Xie is so calm and calm, Eunuch Yu has no idea. At his age, how can he be a servant? Got a royal thing.

So, Eunuch Yu didn't dare to stop him at all, so he asked Xie Moru to enter Zhaode Hall swaggeringly.

The Zhaode Hall was provided with ice, Xie Moru felt cool and comfortable as soon as he entered.

As soon as Xie Moru arrived at Zhaode Hall, there was a room full of courtiers outside, the six ministers, nine ministers, princes and earls, and half a room inside the room of princes and princes.When the men outside saw Xie Moru, whether they recognized him or not, they all bowed and saluted.The men in the room turned their heads, and the eldest prince stammered again, saying, "Brother, younger sister, why are you here?"

"You have been sent several times by people to stop me and not allow me to enter the palace. Why don't you know I'm here?" She went straight forward, sat on the dragon bed with her body bent, stretched out her finger to touch the breath of Emperor Mu Yuan, Xie Moru felt a little relieved , said, "Let me take a look at His Majesty's dragon body. I heard that Dr. Xia cured His Majesty, and my Highness was also imprisoned in the clan mansion. I wonder if it is true?"

The prince said sadly, "Siblings and sisters are just girls, so it's better not to come to Zhaode Hall. The matter of the fifth child should be discussed by the men."

Xie Moru was originally leaning sideways, and when he heard the prince's words, he immediately sat upright and said, "Even in a common people's house, the father-in-law is not in good health, so it is necessary for a daughter-in-law to come and have a look. Dao. It is not easy to come to Zhaode Hall at other times, but it is easy to come at this time. If the crown prince is worried about the defense of men and women, and it is not easy for uncles and uncles to see me, you might as well avoid it."

"As for your Highness's matter, it is related to my husband, so I can naturally ask." Xie Moru said, "In front of your highnesses, the six ministers, nine ministers, princes and earls, I not only want to ask, but I have to ask Clear. How do you lock him up in the clan mansion? Which country’s law and which family’s ritual is this? You are all educated and understandable people, why don’t you tell me about it!”

Seeing that no one was talking, Xie Moru stroked the skirt on his knees, looked at the eldest prince in a blink of an eye, and said, "The eldest son of the royal family, your majesty is sick now, and the prince is precious. I will listen to the eldest son if others say I don't believe it." Say."

The First Prince: How did this shrew find me?

The eldest prince was afraid of Xie Moru as early as N years ago, he could not afford to offend Xie Moru, N years ago he just spread gossip back to Wanmei Palace, and Xie Moru stopped him at the gate of the palace and asked him shamelessly.The eldest prince really didn't want to talk too much with Xie Moru, so he hurriedly said, "Yesterday it was fine, Doctor Xia saw that Father was detoxifying, this morning, Father just took a medicinal bath, Doctor Xia took an injection, Father Xia Just spit out a mouthful of blood, this, this is not cured. Sisters and sisters, we are all five brothers, and we will not wrong him, this Dr. Xia really caused a big disaster. "

Xie Moru said, "Since Dr. Xia is not good, how can I blame my highness? My highness is not a doctor, and your majesty was not cured by our highness. I don't understand the reason for this!"

The eldest prince has always been straightforward, he said, "Dr. Xia was originally found by the fifth. At the beginning, Doctor Xia said that he was only [-]% sure. It was the fifth who insisted on using Doctor Xia, and also said..." After that, the elder The prince was a little speechless and shut up.It was the sixth prince who took over, "Fifth brother said, if the father has something good or bad, he will be buried with your majesty."

Xie Moru stared at the sixth prince coldly, and said calmly, "Just now I was in the mansion, and I didn't hear the bell ringing in the palace. I tried again just now, and His Majesty is still alive. The Sixth Highness should not be buried with you one by one. I would like to tell His Highness the Sixth Highness, since you have brought my Highness to the clan mansion, Your Highness the Sixth Highness, you have to take good care of him. If something happens to my Highness, and I become a widow, no one will feel better about it!"

The third prince hurriedly said, "Cousin, please calm down, the fifth brother recommended the doctor with good intentions, and we all know it well."

"What's the use of being clear, why don't you take my Royal Highness to the Guan Zongren's mansion." Xie Moru said, "I still have one thing that I don't understand. At the beginning, whether to use Dr. Xia or not, your highnesses, when talking about the descendant, there is a prince, and when talking about the elder, there is a prince." Your Majesty, on the merits, the Third and Fourth Highnesses are not bad, you are all elder brothers, could it be possible that if you don't know about this, let my Highness be the master?"

His Highness Fourth said in a low voice, "I support Fifth Brother, and I am willing to share responsibility with Fifth Brother."

Xie Moru raised his voice, "Of the seven adult princes who are in charge, only the fourth prince agrees with my highness, and five people oppose it. How do you use Dr. Xia to treat your majesty? I don't even understand it. Your highnesses are sons. , How can you be so negligent towards His Majesty's dragon body! If this spreads, it will make people laugh at our royal family!"

The eldest prince said, "Didn't the fifth one say that he was responsible for something, so we agreed?"

Xie Moru snorted, "If someone says that this medicine is sure to work, and that he is responsible for the accident, and that a dose of the crane's crown will be red, will your highness agree?"

Xie Moru continued to sneer, "Yes! I recommended Dr. Xia, and my Highness was negligent when something happened to Dr. Xia this year. At the beginning, it was my Highness who was the guarantor, so your Highnesses agreed to use Dr. Xia to detoxify His Majesty. With all due respect, my family is responsible for this matter. Your Highness is at fault, and it is also because of your filial piety, and your highnesses, because my highness is the guarantor, you agree to use Dr. Xia. Now your majesty's dragon body has not recovered, and my highness is responsible for the accident. Since he said it first, Then ask him to bear this responsibility. But everyone, what do you think about the life and death of Junfu? Today, because of this matter, my highness will be imprisoned in the clan mansion. I think, next, no one of you will dare to guarantee anything Has the doctor come to treat His Majesty?"

The prince couldn't bear it and let out a yell, pointing at Xie Moru and said, "What a place is Zhaode Hall, you dare to talk so loudly in front of the father, you still have the court in your eyes! Do you know what a woman's virtue is!"

Xie Moru's complexion remained unchanged, he glanced at the prince casually, and asked softly, "Is this anger from embarrassment?"

If it wasn't for the public, if it wasn't for being concerned about the status of the prince of a country, the prince would really slap him.Naturally, the crown prince can't fight Xie Moru, otherwise, if the uncle beats the aunt, if it spreads, it will be ridiculous.

But, just like this, the prince was so angry that his eyes turned blood red, wishing he could just strangle Xie Moru to death!He has never seen such a hateful woman as Xie Moru in his life!It should be burned alive!
The eldest prince also felt that what Mrs. Xie said was not pleasant, but he had to stop the prince, and said quickly, "Prince, why do you bother with her as a woman. Hey, she is a younger brother and sister. Let's be the eldest brother and the second uncle." Yes, it can't be like this!"

The prince was trembling with anger, and said angrily, "How can there be such a wicked woman in the world!"

The eldest prince responded with a feeling of sympathy, "Isn't it? If there is any way, it's all for the sake of the fifth disciple."

The corners of the third prince's lips twitched when he heard this, and he said hastily, "The fifth younger brother and sister are also impatient. If you want me to say, let the fifth brother be released first, and ask the fifth brother to serve soup and medicine in front of the emperor to make amends."

Xie Moru said, "I am happy, but I don't know if the crown prince and His Highness are happy?"

The eldest prince spoke quickly and spoke out what was in his heart, but when he heard this, he said, "It's nothing to me, after all, the fifth brother is also kind."

The prince said, "This matter must be dealt with."

"How can there be no solution?" Xie Moru asked, "Where is Xia Qingcheng?"

The crown prince didn't want to talk to this woman, the first prince was thinking about whether he said bad things about Xie Moru just now and asked her to retaliate against him when she heard Xie Moru, the third prince said to Xie Moru, "It's locked up?"

"Why are things like this still closed?" Xie Moru said, "It's better to kill it, as a warning to others."

The eldest prince said, "Well, after all, it depends on the face of the old master." The point is, eh, Emperor Xue is here, and the old five family members are always smart, so they must have seen it.

"What is the old master? Isn't it Xue Nanshan? Other things can be considered affectionate, and they are related to His Majesty's life. Is it possible to bargain? I heard that Xia Qingcheng was taught by Xue Nanshan, and Xia Qingcheng cured His Majesty. Now, the nine clans should be punished, but it is said that he is an abandoned baby, has no family and no mouth, and he is the only one in the nine clans. Since Xue Nanshan is his master, it is not as good as Xue Nanshan's family, so this hatred will be settled!" Xie Moru said A set of gloomy words came out, and everyone couldn't help shivering in the scorching heat.

Xie Moru said to the First Prince, "His Majesty is the eldest son of His Majesty, and he has always been loved by His Majesty. I am a woman who is not very knowledgeable, and I know what it means to avenge my father? Your Majesty said, are my words unreasonable?"

The eldest prince is angry: Nima, this is a soft persimmon!
The eldest prince was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood, and Eunuch Yu came in to report: Prince, the old master is here.

The prince said, "Let him in."

As soon as Emperor Xue entered the door, he found that the atmosphere was not very good. Of course, something happened to Emperor Mu Yuan, so there must be ghosts in a good atmosphere, but when he entered the inner room, he saw that besides the princes, there was also a twenty-year-old concubine wearing a lot of makeup. The woman sat on one side of the dragon couch.After all, Emperor Xue had been in the upper echelons of the imperial capital, and he knew that women in the royal family took good care of themselves. This woman looked young, and she was probably in her early thirties.After a moment of pondering, Emperor Xue guessed the identity of the princess.

Emperor Xue bowed and saluted, and said, "Since there are family members, the Caomin will withdraw first."

"No need." Xie Moru glanced at Emperor Xue and said, "We are just talking, your good apprentice of your old man has cured His Majesty, you old man is knowledgeable and has been an emperor's teacher, tell me what to do? "

Emperor Xue said, "Can you allow Cao Min to give His Majesty a pulse?"

After taking the pulse, Emperor Xue let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Your Majesty's pulse is still there, and it hasn't gotten worse than before."

The eldest prince had no choice but to tell Emperor Xue about the situation during the detoxification at that time, and Emperor Xue said, "The detoxification is no better than others. If your majesty is really bad, the grass people have nothing to say. Today, your majesty has not seen the dragon body." Corruption, Your Highnesses rest assured for the time being, there may be a chance to bring it back."

Xie Moru raised his eyebrows, "I don't know medical skills, and I haven't heard of anyone who is proficient in this way. Since you are Mr. Xia Qingcheng, you might as well think of a way to heal your majesty. You can't be so comatose, you have to heal your majesty gone."

Emperor Xue looked at the prince with a puzzled expression, "I wonder who this is?"

The prince sighed, "This is Princess Xie."

Xie Moru sneered, "My Highness has been imprisoned in the clan mansion because of your apprentice!"

Master Xue said, "The grassroots don't know about this."

"I'm afraid you don't know, so I told you!" Xie Moru said, "As a sufferer, I am always qualified to ask the truth, right? Didn't Mr. Xue first ask about the safety of the noble disciple when he came? One of our own My own pain, I am the same as Mr. Xue, neither can be exempt!"

The prince said coldly, "As long as the father is saved, let the fifth child come out in isolation, Princess Min should be quiet first, and listen to the old emperor's teacher!"

Xie Moru said, "When Dr. Xia comes out, my husband will come out."

The fourth prince immediately chimed in, "Princess Min is right. It doesn't make sense. The culprit should be released, and only the fifth younger brother should be locked up. The father is in need of someone to take care of him, and since the old emperor has a way to heal the father, the five My younger brother has done nothing."

Emperor Xue suddenly said, "Your Majesty's dragon body still needs to be carefully considered."

Xie Moru lightly shook the bird-feather fan in his hand, bringing up bursts of fragrant wind, Xie Moru said lightly, "I don't know what it means to consider, but I might as well explain to Mr. Xue that the idea of ​​inviting you to come here at the beginning was to I did it. At that time, I thought about it. If you healed His Majesty with the astonishing ability in the legend, everyone will be happy. If His Majesty happens, as Xia Qingcheng's mentor, your old man, It must be buried with you!"

Emperor Xue smiled wryly, "There is no enmity between Caomin and Niangniang."

"That's outrageous, who told you that you have the ability to be famous outside." Xie Moru said, "You can just pretend that I blackmailed you." Then he turned to the eldest prince and the crown prince, "His Royal Highness, Your Highness, my family Regarding His Highness's matter, I hope you two can give me a fair word."

The eldest prince persuaded her, "Siblings go back first, after we discuss it, someone will send you a letter right away."

"No, I'll wait." Xie Moru replied, "Hurry up, don't delay His Majesty's condition."

The crown prince was so angry that his teeth were itchy, several princes discussed together, and the final result was that when Dr. Xia was treating Emperor Mu Yuan, the fifth prince could watch on the sidelines, and the rest of the time, he still had to live in the clan mansion.

Xie Moru said, "Why do you need to go to the clan's mansion to be so troublesome? When there is no need for medical treatment, let His Highness follow Dr. Xia and be taken care of together. If His Majesty has something good or bad, it will not be too late to punish him."

The prince gritted his teeth and endured it.

"Excuse me, Emperor Xue, to live with Doctor Xia, don't run around when you are old." Xie Moru got up and said, "I'm going to visit the Empress Dowager, she is always timid, this time I don’t know why I’m so scared. By the way, there is one more thing to report to His Highness the Crown Prince. I don’t know who has been ordered by the East Palace to prevent me from entering the palace. What a joke, I am a dignified princess, innocent and innocent, and I can’t enter the palace. gone?"

Xie Moru left in a burst of fragrant wind.

The Mercy Palace really looked miserable. Xie Moru hadn't seen the queen mother, so he probably cried too much to rest in the back. Since the eldest princess, princess, prince concubine, and palace concubines were all there, Xie Moru just said a word when he entered the door He said, "Auntie, don't worry, Master Xue said that His Majesty is still saved."

Princess Wenkang got up and went to Xie Moru, and asked, "Is it true?"

Xie Moru nodded, "I said, if he can't cure His Majesty, he will die!"

Princess Wenkang: ...

But because of the news brought by Xie Moru, Empress Dowager Hu was lying on the bed crying, but when she heard that the emperor's son was still alive, she immediately jumped up.As long as there is a glimmer of life, Queen Mother Hu feels that her emperor's son will definitely recover.

When Xie Moru left the palace, he got into the car of Princess Wenkang and entrusted the child concubine to Princess Wenkang. Princess Wenkang worried, "Isn't Mr. Xue completely sure?"

Xie Moru said, "Your Majesty has been poisoned for a long time, and Xue Nanshan is not a god. However, for his own life, I guess he will do his best."

Princess Wenkang said, "The children are with me, you just need to rest assured, no matter what, I will keep them safe."

Xie Moru bowed slightly, "Thank you Your Highness, now, the only person I can entrust to you is His Highness."

Princess Wenkang patted Xie Moru's hand, "Don't worry." I don't know if she said this to Xie Moru, or to herself.

Xie Moru went back to the palace, but he didn't let Dalang and the three side concubines come back to send the news from the housekeeper, and let them just live in their Yue's family and the eldest princess's mansion safely.

Princess Wenkang is nothing, the worst thing is the downfall of the King of Fujian, but after all, King Min is the son of Emperor Mu Yuan, and Shiro and others are all serious grandsons of the emperor. As Princess Wenkang, it is no problem to protect a few nephews.

Princess Yongfu didn't know about her son-in-law Dalang's arrival until she returned to the mansion. Princess Yongfu has always been outspoken and said to Dalang, "It must be the idea of ​​that surname Xie, just stay here. Your father is fine now. I have returned to the palace."

As soon as Da Lang heard that his father was fine, he hurriedly said, "Auntie, I want to go home to visit my mother?"

Princess Yongfu said, "She specially sent someone to send a message to tell you to stay with me. You just stay here. She has a heart, and you are not half as good as her. Just don't worry, just live with peace of mind, I'm not an outsider here." He told the maid, "Tell Sister Zhen to ask the chef to cook some good dishes."

Da Lang wanted to go back again, but Princess Yongfu directly arranged guards to watch him, and said, "It's rare that the surname Xie owes me favors, please give me peace of mind, don't tell me to be tough."

Dalang: ...

Princess Yongfu is not afraid of anything. Although she also hopes that her younger brother will become the throne, she has feelings for her father. Although her father has always favored Princess Changtai, Princess Yongfu will not expect her father to die.

Anyway, her father is here and she is a princess.With her father absent, her younger brother ascended the throne, and she was promoted to princess.As for Da Lang, this is her son-in-law, so of course she has to protect him.Even if Xie Mo fell like the fifth prince, Princess Yongfu would have to push her son-in-law to the throne. In this way, the daughter also has the title of princess.

Thinking of this, Princess Yongfu has to pay close attention to Dalang's son-in-law.

Of course, you have to treat people well, and you can't make your son-in-law feel wronged.

As for Erlang Sanlang, Zhao Guogong's Chu Guogong's mansion did not dare to push them out, not to mention, the second mansion also knew that the fifth prince had come out from the clan's mansion, as long as Min Wang's mansion was there, these two families would not neglect Erlang Saburo.However, the two of them heard that their father had come out from the clan mansion, and the palace did not punish their father, so they went back to the mansion together to visit their aunt.

Xie Moru said, "You don't need to look, I'm fine. Go back quickly, and don't run around, in case there is chaos in the imperial capital."

Erlang didn't pay much attention to these things, and said, "Mother, when we come back, the imperial capital is still the same as usual."

Xie Moru said, "Then go back first. Now that your grandfather is still here, the imperial capital is still peaceful. If anything happens, there will be chaos. You are all safe and sound, and you have helped me a lot."

The two returned to their respective in-laws' homes.

Zhao and Chu's family's psychological endurance is not as good as Princess Wenkang and Princess Yongfu. The main reason is that they are ministers, and the two princesses are members of the royal family. In comparison, they lack confidence.

Mrs. Zhao Guogong took his daughter-in-law to the First Prince's Mansion to inquire about it. Zhao Guogong wanted to come in person, but the First Prince had been living in the palace these days and hadn't returned to the mansion, so he had to ask his old wife to come.The eldest concubine heard that Erlang had gone to live in Zhao Guogong's mansion, but she didn't feel anything, and said, "I think the fifth brother and sister are worried, so they asked Erlang to run away. It's okay, even if there is something wrong with the Fifth Highness, it's okay." If it’s not on the child’s head, let Erlang live there. If grandma finds it embarrassing, it’s the same to send Erlang to my house.”

Mrs. Zhao Guogong quickly waved her hand, "No way, it's an honor for the Zhao family to have His Royal Highness stay at the minister's wife's house temporarily. That is, seeing that His Royal Highness is really worried about the King of Min, and the minister's wife has nowhere to ask, so she has the audacity to come here."

The First Princess didn't say anything more.

In the Chu family, Mrs. Chu went to Princess Changtai's residence to inquire about it. Princess Changtai's opinion was similar to that of the first princess. The royal family has the dignity of the royal family.

The Zhao and Chu families were a little relieved, but the fifth prince became more calm after going through all these ups and downs, and he actually had an aura of not being surprised.

But then, Emperor Mu Yuan survived several times, and he was notified of his critical illness. Anyway, the Tai Hospital did not dare to prescribe prescriptions for Emperor Mu Yuan, and Xia Qingcheng was still treating Emperor Mu Yuan.

The most dangerous time, Emperor Mu Yuan's veins could not be traced, the prince was about to draw his sword and cut Xia Qingcheng, if not for the eldest prince who stopped him, Xia Qingcheng would have died on the spot.Just like that, maybe Emperor Mu Yuan's life should not be terminated, half a month later, Emperor Mu Yuan finally opened his longan.

The haze that permeated the entire two months above the imperial capital has all dissipated, and the warm sunshine of Chongyang shines on the world.Many people had tears in their eyes. Among them, the crown prince and the fifth prince cried the most, and the eldest prince cried the most. Everyone can guess what the prince and fifth prince are thinking, but why are you crying so hard, eldest prince?

Zhao Shiyu said contemptuously afterwards, "I cried like an idiot."

The eldest prince said with swollen rotten eyes, "I don't know why, but when I saw Father wake up, tears burst out."
