Doctor Gu Yanyue

Chapter 138 As long as Zhu Yuanxun steps into the gate of the East Palace
Sure enough, not long after drinking it, he felt hot all over, and his face turned red.

However, this kind of soup is not poison, it's just a special tonic, and he didn't dare to say anything.It's okay to say it's a good thing, but if an eunuch drank it, he would only consider himself unlucky.

Then the emperor turned to the princess and asked, "Is the princess okay? Get up and talk."

The emperor still called Zhu Yuanchan a princess, and Zhu Yuanchan knew well that he couldn't let the emperor drink the soup, but he was already very excited to see the emperor.

What's more, at this moment, the emperor is still asking her if she has something to do?This also shows that the emperor does not love the queen Gu Yanyue as much as the legend says.Otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting so calmly and contentedly at this moment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" She stood up, and suddenly took out an extremely delicately folded letterhead from her wide sleeves and handed it to Zhu Yuanxun, "This is given by the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace to the concubine. The Empress of the Eastern Palace said that if the Emperor If you want to know more about Concubine Mei, it's best to go to her tonight."

Zhu Yuanxun's phoenix eyes were deep and difficult to understand, and he unfolded the letter to read it.There are not many words on it, only one line reads: "The revenge of adoptive parents and the death of Concubine Mei, it is time to avenge it! The opportunity must not be missed, the time will never come again!"

Zhu Yuanxun's hand holding the letterhead trembled subconsciously.Concubine Mei, that is, his mother and concubine Fang Qinmei.When he learned of his identity from General Zhou, he already knew that his mother and concubine was Fang Qinmei, who was favored by the emperor when she was pregnant with him.

It is said that when his mother and concubine were seven months pregnant, the imperial physician concluded that she was pregnant with a dragon seed and a baby boy, so the first emperor named him Zhu Yuanxun.But before he was born, his mother and concubine disappeared mysteriously when he was seven months old.

The death of his adoptive parents has always been confusing. After he tracked down the Gu family and his wife, he began to suspect the empress dowager Xigong, but found no evidence.

At this moment, what does the Empress Dowager of the East Palace mean that the death of his concubine Fang Qinmei is also related to the West Palace?Donggong wants him to meet her, does she have evidence?
Zhu Yuanxun looked up at Zhu Yuanchan coldly and said, "Okay, I will go to see the Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace tonight."

Zhu Yuanchan was blessed, with a just right smile on her face and said: "It's so good. The concubine will leave first, and the concubine will go and tell the empress of the East Palace. In the evening, the empress of the East Palace and the concubine will set up tea in the treasure hall of Dongyuan. The banquet is waiting for the emperor."

When Zhu Yuanchan withdrew, a frightening light flashed across his eyes.As long as the emperor went to the East Palace, it meant that the emperor really wanted to avenge his adoptive parents and Concubine Mei.In other words, Donggong guessed the emperor's thoughts correctly.

After Zhu Yuanchan left, Zhu Yuanxun's eyes fell on Xiao Dezi's flushed face.

Xiao Dezi asked: "Your Majesty, are you really going to see the Empress of the East Palace?"

"Well, what's the matter?" Zhu Yuanxun asked him coldly, "Is there something wrong with the soup?" The reason why the emperor let Xiao Dezi drink it was because he knew that Zhu Yuanchan would not put any poison in the soup. Add some at most...

As soon as he saw Xiao Dezi's face, he knew that it was the same thing.This Zhu Yuanchan, looking at her one more time, made Zhu Yuanxun feel disgusted, so how could he drink what she sent?But she is really unwilling to give up if she fails to achieve her goal.

"No, no problem, it's just too... seems too... too sweet." Xiao Dezi touched his nose, feeling as if he was about to bleed.

"Go to the imperial doctor and ask for a cup of tea to reduce the fire, and you will be fine." Zhu Yuanxun said.

"Yes. Your Majesty is going to meet the empresses of the East Palace. Be careful not to drink their soup, otherwise..." Xiao Dezi bowed and left the hall immediately after saying this.

In the evening, Zhu Yuanxun arrived at the Dongyuan Baozhen Hall in the East Palace as scheduled.

The Empress Dowager of the East Palace, Gong Baozhen, set up refreshments in the Baozhen Hall of Dongyuan, and asked several maids and nuns to light up lights outside the hall to welcome the arrival of the emperor.Zhu Yuanchan followed by the side of the East Palace, and greeted the emperor Zhu Yuanxun graciously.

"The concubine kowtowed to the emperor!" Zhu Yuanchan greeted the emperor outside the door with a bright smile on her face.

Zhu Yuanxun asked her to flatten her body, and directly faced the Eastern Palace Empress Dowager Gong Baozhen.

Inside the hall, the lights were shining brilliantly, and the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace was sitting in the chief position waiting for Zhu Yuanxun.After hearing Zhu Yuanxun's voice, a smile showed on her dignified face that some kind of conspiracy had succeeded.After Zhu Yuanxun ascended the throne, she has been waiting for Zhu Yuanxun to step into her East Palace.As long as Zhu Yuanxun could step into the gate of the East Palace, she believed, it would be the end of the West Palace.

"Welcome Your Majesty!" The Empress Dowager of the East Palace, Gong Baozhen, who was wearing royal blue palace attire, walked slowly to a place close to the gate of the palace, straightened her back, and looked directly at Emperor Zhu Yuanxun with her hands in her sleeves.Although she said greetings, she was the queen mother, so naturally she didn't need to salute.

"I invite Jin An to the Queen Mother!" Zhu Yuanxun and the Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace faced each other for the first time, and it was in the Queen Mother's territory.He stepped in alone, but he was as calm as a mountain, exuding the majestic aura of a king.

"It's good that the emperor is here, and I don't have to greet you." The empress dowager of the East Palace said this because, after the emperor Zhu Yuanxun succeeded to the throne, he did not greet the empress dowagers of the two palaces according to the rules.

Haven't even been to the Empress Dowager's Hall in the East Palace once.But Zhu Yuanxun did not greet the Queen Mother of the West Palace, nor did he go to the Queen Mother Hall of the West Palace.

The Empress Dowager of the East Palace asked the emperor to sit down, and she sat back in her original seat. She pushed back all the maids, eunuchs, and nuns, leaving only Zhu Yuanchan.

In fact, the emperor's arrival tonight is definitely a secret, and he came here without telling the eyes of everyone, especially if he won't let Nishinomiya know.

Zhu Yuanchan knelt down and held tea for the emperor: "The concubine invites the emperor to drink tea." The emperor came, which meant that she, Zhu Yuanchan, had won.Therefore, the smile on Zhu Yuanchan's face was perfect.

Zhu Yuanxun didn't look at Zhu Yuanchan, he said coldly: "Leave it alone! I'm not here to drink tea, but to listen to stories."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace signaled Zhu Yuanchan to sit aside and said, "If Aijia's guess is correct, the Emperor wants to hear the story of Concubine Mei, right?"

Zhu Yuanxun glanced at the East Palace with some cold eyes, and said with a bit of cold air: "Since the Queen Mother has already guessed what is on my mind, let's get straight to the point and get to the point. How much does the Queen Mother know about the death of my mother and concubine?" ? If the Empress Dowager Dong wants to say something, just say something with evidence and evidence, I don’t want to waste time listening to a fabricated story.”

When Zhu Yuanxun walked into the Empress Dowager's Hall of the East Palace, not only did he not know how to drink the tea that Zhu Yuanchan poured for him, he was even wary of the air, fearing that he might accidentally inhale some poisonous aroma.

For him, the east and west palaces had to be guarded against.There was Zhu Yuanyue's death before, and his death was unclear, that is a lesson from the past.

Therefore, before Zhu Yuanxun came in, guards were naturally arranged outside.However, he believed that the Empress Dowager of the East Palace invited him here tonight not to harm him, but to deal with Ning Cizhen, the Empress of the West Palace.

As Dong Gong said, if he wants to take revenge, maybe it's really time, and the time will never come again.Although Zhu Yuanxun didn't expect this opportunity to come so early, but when the opportunity comes, it will come, and sooner or later is not a problem.

If Zhu Yuanxun wants to break the pattern of the two queen mothers controlling the government and listening to the government behind the curtain, then sooner or later he will have to fight with one of the queen mothers.But at this moment Zhu Yuanxun chose to walk into the gate of the East Palace, and the East Palace himself was overjoyed.

United with the East Palace, it can not only get rid of the West Palace, but also take revenge, killing two birds with one stone.

The Queen Mother of Donggong was not only overjoyed, but also confident.Because, she is determined, Zhu Yuanxun will want to get rid of the strong West Palace first, and there is nothing to fear in leaving the weak East Palace.

She began to talk about Concubine Mei, mostly about the sisterly relationship between Concubine Mei and her: "The emperor's mother concubine, Concubine Mei, is a proud woman with both talent and beauty. The beautiful piano sound of "Feng Qiu Huang" won the Sacred Heart and has been favored ever since."

As Donggong said, he took out a scroll and handed it to Zhu Yuanxun, saying, "Concubine Mei has high attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Qin is a masterpiece, and Danqing is also a masterpiece. This "Ode to Plum Blossoms" is your mother's concubine. The paintings from that year were given to the Ai family by her, and the Ai family has kept them ever since."

Zhu Yuanxun unfolded the painting scroll, and a piece of "Ode on Plum Blossoms" was displayed in front of him. Although he was not sure whether it was the authentic painting of his mother and concubine, but I heard that it belonged to his mother and concubine. For Zhu Yuanxun who had never met his mother, Still very excited.

Dong Gong pointed to the poem on the painting and said: "This little poem is an impromptu gesture of the late emperor. That year the red plum blossoms and snow bloomed all over Concubine Mei's plum garden, and the late emperor asked all the concubines to enjoy the flowers in the plum garden. Huaxing made this beautiful painting of plum blossoms. The first emperor was happy and wrote this little poem. Later, because Ai’s family loved it, Concubine Mei promised Ai’s family to have someone copy it.”

Donggong speaks clearly and logically, and there are poems and paintings to prove it. There is indeed a seal of the late emperor and a small seal of Concubine Mei, which does not seem to be fake.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanxun looked at the blossoming red plums in the painting and read the little poem above, and couldn't help but feel sad for his poor mother and concubine whom he had never met.At the same time, he also had a vague impression of his mother and concubine as a talented woman.

"All the fragrances shake down Duxuanyan, occupying all the scenery to the small garden. Sparse shadows slant horizontally, the water is clear and shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the moon dusk. Frost birds steal their eyes first when they want to go down, and pink butterflies are like knowing their souls. Fortunately, there is a little song to help each other For sex, there is no need for a sandalwood board to share a golden statue."

The original impression of Donggong was greatly reduced because of Zhu Yuanchan, but because of this painting, Zhu Yuanxun's heart moved slightly, and he had a little liking for Donggong.

"Zhen, thank you, Empress Donggong, for the gift of the painting." Zhu Yuanxun's voice became softer.He rerolled the scroll and put it in his sleeve.So far, the East Palace does not pose much threat to Zhu Yuanxun.If the West Palace is excluded, it will not be a problem to take over the East Palace at that time.

The Empress Dowager of the East Palace has been rolling around in the palace for many years, fighting day and night with the West Palace, she really has seen through people's hearts long ago.

The emperor put away the painting, and taking advantage of the emperor's heartbeat, she sat down, raised her face with the empress dowager's kindness and said: "It is precisely because Concubine Mei was favored by the late emperor too much, that made me very angry at that time." The favored Concubine Ning became jealous. On the day Concubine Mei disappeared mysteriously when she was seven months pregnant, someone saw Yuchi leading a carriage out of the palace."
