The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 111 Memories
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Xihua Palace and Huxin Pavilion.

Today is another snow day.The sky has been covered by falling snowflakes, gray, gloomy and depressing.

A thick layer of ice formed on the surface of Yanyu Lake, and the cold air wrapped the Huxin Pavilion from all directions, but the pavilion was not cold.

There were warm smokers burning in the four corners of the pavilion, and the window facing the center of the lake was half open, and Yun Ruochen was standing by the window looking into the distance.

What she is wearing today is not the scarlet cloak that Su usually wears, but a thick snow fox cloak of pure color, which completely wraps her petite body in a bell, looking from a distance like a little fairy who has fallen from the fairy world to the mortal world , Yingying is moving.

Guo Zheng, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, saw this scene when he followed Qiurong into the Huxin Pavilion.

"Princess, Commander Guo is here."

Guo Zheng bowed respectfully to Yun Ruochen.Yun Ruochen turned around, smiled like a flower, and said softly: "Commander Guo, you don't need to be too polite."

Guo Zheng couldn't think of Yun Ruochen's purpose for asking him to meet here.According to common sense, the lives of the two would not intersect at all.

Of course, it wasn't the first time Guo Zheng saw Yun Ruochen.

As the leader of the Imperial Forest Army guarding the inner palace, he often had to take turns in the Jingxin Hall and occasionally reported some palace affairs to the emperor.On the other hand, Yun Ruochen often accompanied the emperor to have meals and play chess in the Palace of Meditation. In the past six months, Guo Zheng also met her seven or eight times.

Guo Zheng couldn't say he wasn't at all curious about this darling of the emperor who had become famous among the royal family, but he never took the initiative to pay attention.

The Imperial Forest Army of the Qing Dynasty was hereditary and passed down from generation to generation, so Guo Zheng was naturally a child of the Imperial Forest Army.He grew up in the army since he was a child, and he had made great achievements in battle with King Shu. After returning to the court, he started as a guard in the palace and slowly climbed to his current position.

He was able to defeat many competitors, and was appointed by the emperor as the commander of the guards of this huge palace. In addition to his outstanding ability, it is also very important that he is "neither party nor party".

Guo Zheng is a "lonely minister" who only ends up being the emperor and is not close to any faction.

Could it be that Princess Huarong called him here to deliver some message for the crown prince?The prince is doomed to be disappointed.

"Commander Guo, please sit down first."

Yun Ruochen didn't show off his master's money, anyone with a little brain would not show off in front of this favored commander.Among the people who had a close relationship with King Shu, only Guo Zheng escaped the purge safely. How could this person be simple?

Guo Zheng didn't sit down, but just lowered his head and asked Yun Ruochen what he wanted.

Yun Ruochen didn't force himself, he glanced lightly at Xia Hong and Qiu Rong, and the two stepped back knowingly.

It seems that the little princess really has something serious to discuss with herself?

Guo Zheng shook his head secretly in his heart, the crown prince underestimated himself too much, he would not be wooed by any faction.

Unexpectedly, Yun Ruochen said: "Commander Guo, I know that all the relics of Imperial Physician Zhu are in your hands. Can you give those things to me?"

Ok?
Guo Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a slightly stunned expression.

A relic of Imperial Doctor Zhu?

From the outbreak of Chen Concubine's miscarriage incident, everyone related to this incident was imprisoned in the palace, and so was Zhu Taiyi.Later, Imperial Physician Zhu and two other court ladies died suddenly in the inner prison, and all his belongings were indeed left in the hands of the Imperial Forest Army in charge of the inner prison.

Even the things that Dr. Zhu put in the imperial hospital and apartment were collected by the Imperial Forest Army.Because according to the rules, affairs in the palace, completion of the palace, matters related to the inside of the palace, cannot be investigated by the Wucheng Bingmasi or Shuntian Mansion, only the people in the palace can take care of it.

Doctor Zhu is dead, but those things are still sealed somewhere.Those eunuchs and maids in Chen Concubine's Palace are still being imprisoned, waiting to be dealt with, so it's a disaster.The emperor will not allow people who have experienced such a scandal to live.

This case has developed to the present, whether it is investigated or not investigated.Whether it is the emperor or Concubine Duan Gui, there is no further instruction right now.Even if Guo Zheng had his own opinion on this case, he would not say it out, he just silently waited for the order from his superiors.

Why did the little princess want to intervene... Oh, it should be said that it is the prince.What does the prince want to do?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the prince's reputation has been greatly damaged this time.As for whether he really committed adultery with Concubine Chen, others didn't know, but Guo Zheng didn't believe it at all.

Are the guards in the palace vegetarian? Can a living person like the prince move freely in the palace?Masters like princes and concubines Chen always have a lot of followers around them. It is impossible for them to have the opportunity to spend too long alone without being discovered!

But Guo Zheng believed it was the same thing, but outsiders were not afraid to speculate about it with the worst malice.The royal family incest scandal, such a sensational topic, no one is talking about it!

At this time, what does the prince want to do to restore his reputation?

As if seeing through his thoughts, Yun Ruochen didn't wait for his response, and said, "Commander Guo, don't misunderstand. It is my own decision to want the relics of Imperial Doctor Zhu, and it has nothing to do with the crown prince."

Guo Zheng was silent.Who would believe that a little girl under the age of ten would come to investigate the scandal by herself without the prince or someone else's instigation...how could it be possible?

"Commander Guo, let me show you something."

Yun Ruochen walked to the table, took out a medical book and spread it out.

Guo Zheng walked over, Yun Ruochen pointed to one of the pages and said to him: "This is a certain medical book left by Imperial Physician Zhu in the imperial hospital. Look here, and this page..."

"These prescriptions all have problems."

has a problem?
Guo Zheng was stunned, where did the little princess get the relics of Imperial Doctor Zhu?And, what's the problem?
"Commander Guo, it seems that we need to have an open and honest talk..."

Yun Ruochen's voice was slow and soft, but there was an air of majesty that could not be denied.For a moment, Guo Zheng had a certain illusion, why does the little princess have the sense of coercion that the emperor often reveals?
He must have read it wrong...

"You said, after Chen'er came back from the Prince's Mansion, he looked for Guo Zheng?"

Emperor Yuan Qi was wearing a silk Taoist robe, lying reclined on the couch outside the sleeping hall, with a gloomy expression.

Zhang Yuan knelt at his feet and said in a low voice: "Yes, the Princess seems to be asking Commander Guo for something."

"This child..."

Emperor Yuan Qi sighed.He casually raised his hand, looking at the increasing number of purple blood spots on the back of his wrinkled hand.Getting old and getting older.Even though his spirit is slightly better than before, his body is still irreparably old...

There was a time when he recovered quite well.Doctor Zhu, if he didn't see that the prescriptions he prescribed would always have some effect after eating, I wouldn't trust him so much, and the result... Huh!

"Zhang Yuan."

Emperor Yuan Qi tightened his robe, coughed twice, and Zhang Yuan got up to serve him tea.

"This Chen'er... well, it would be so nice to be a boy."

Zhang Yuan can't remember how many times the emperor has lamented this matter.He echoed, "What the emperor said is true."

"Hmph, what do you know?"

Emperor Yuan Qi snorted coldly. "This child is much more assertive than her father. Forget it, even though she may not be able to find out anything, she always has her own heart... Now the palace is not easy to investigate clearly. Send a message to Guo Zheng, just tell me what I mean , let him obey the orders of the Princess."

Zhang Yuan responded repeatedly.

Emperor Yuan Qi coughed for a while, and angrily threw the teacup on the side table, and several young eunuchs hurried over to relieve him.

He pressed his aching chest and frowned.In the past few days, I was probably too angry, and seemed to be weaker than before...

Out of an evasive mentality, he didn't want to delve into the various conditions in his body, and started thinking about Yun Ruochen instead.

Obviously, when Chen'er returned to the Prince's Mansion, she should be going to comfort her useless father, right?Hmph, even if I was severely punished by myself, I have been hiding in the mansion for so many days and can't come out to meet people, what kind of words!

The old emperor did not delve into the physical injury and mental oppression he had caused his son, but just thought that his son's behavior was too cowardly and incompetent.In this case, you should meet the guests generously, go out to socialize, and pretend that nothing happened!

With this psychological quality, how can you be the future king of a country?
Well, if Chen'er was a boy, I would be more at ease.No matter from which aspect, Chen'er is a hundred times stronger than her father...

but……

Why can't my daughter do it?
"Who said a daughter can't do it?"

16-year-old sister Qiong, riding on her tall brown horse, said to him vigorously: "Little brother, who said that daughters can't do it?"

"Look at the men in Daqing Kingdom, how many of them are better at archery than me? How many of them can beat me on horseback?"

"Little brother, take good care of your mother and concubine in the palace, and I will be back soon!"

That year, he was eight years old.There was a severe drought in the southwest and floods in the southeast, and there were bandits everywhere. The tribes of the grassland took the opportunity to go south to plunder.The rebel army besieged the capital, and the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp had to deal with the rebel army and foreign enemies, and they were clumsy.

Finally one day, the capital was captured by rebels.The rebel army fought all the way from the west city gate to the imperial city, the Imperial Forest Army rushed to meet the enemy, and the whole capital was engulfed in flames...

He and his mother, Princess Zhaoning, did not cry and hide like other noble girls, but put on her armor and rushed to the front.

His beautiful and brave sister, the one who had protected him tightly since he was a child and would not allow him to suffer any grievances, led the army out of the imperial city in the flames of the night like a goddess of war.

"Sister Qiong..."

The old emperor, in his fifties, recalled what he saw when he was eight years old, the blood-stained body of his sister, and still felt a sense of sadness.

The elder sister died to protect him and his concubine mother.

During that catastrophe, reinforcements finally arrived in time, the imperial city was saved, and the rebels were driven away.But his sister Qiong never came back.

He looked at Sister Qiong's peaceful face, unable to shed a single tear.From then on, it seemed that he could no longer have feelings for others, and even his own son was only indifferent.

But Chen'er...she really looks like Sister Qiong.

Emperor Yuan Qi withdrew his thoughts, unwilling to let himself indulge in memories, and turned to think about the impact of the imminent scandal.

In any case, this matter must be resolved in the near future, no matter what method is used!
