The atmosphere in the Yun family of Chengen Palace was a bit solemn.
When Chengen Gong Yunwen came back from the palace on the third day, he fell headlong to the ground.
Before he passed out, he grabbed his old wife's wrist hard and ordered not to call the imperial doctor.
Mrs. Cheng'en responded with tears in her eyes and repeatedly asked her children and grandchildren to call the doctor.
The family members in the mansion were immediately at a loss when they saw this situation. There were only a dozen or so people in the hall, but there were many panicked figures. The noisy and frightened whispers and the random flashing of skirts all made the maids and women around them nervous.
Fortunately, Duke Chengen's eldest son Yun Wen and his wife quickly stabilized themselves and brought the chaotic situation under control.
After the doctor took his pulse and prescribed the medicine, Yun Wenzhong opened his cloudy old eyes, looked at his children and grandchildren, and waved his hands weakly, leaving his old wife alone to talk.
"No matter what the situation is, I have to take care of myself. No matter what happens to our Yun family, as long as we don't do anything disloyal, we won't confiscate the family and exterminate the family. The worst thing is that we will live a more miserable life. As a family, there will be nothing we can't handle. "
Mrs. Chengen comforted her husband.
Unexpectedly, her gentle words actually made her husband burst into tears.
"Although I am younger than your Majesty, I am still close to an old man. It has been three generations since Duke Cheng'en passed down to me... I'm afraid that even the third-level princes may not be able to follow the example of the boss." Yunwenzhong's words were weak, and they only lasted for a moment. , his pillow was already wet with a large area.
When Mrs. Chengen heard this, her heart ached: "Just reduce it to an uncle's residence?"
Although she secretly thought that the royal family was ruthless, thinking about her husband's condition, she could only comfort her: "Well, Cheng'en Palace was originally obtained by divine grace, and it is also the blessing of the Queen Mother that it can benefit the descendants for five generations.
Master, don't sigh, but take good care of yourself. Although the palace of the royal family is good, it is not as good as the cabinet ministers.
Rather than letting our descendants lie on the throne of Xuanhe without thinking about progress, it is better to let them be prepared for danger in times of peace and work hard to forge ahead.
As long as the boss and Dalang do not make mistakes in the future, even the uncle's house can be passed down for two or three generations, which is enough to protect the scientific research of future generations. Master, think about this and never lose your strength. "
Yun Wenzhong smiled bitterly after hearing this, feeling that the tip of his tongue was covered with Coptis chinensis: "Madam, please ask the eldest daughter-in-law to clean up the turnip later, and then send her to her aunt in Huguang at dawn tomorrow."
When Mrs. Cheng'en heard this, her expression suddenly changed, and she quickly asked: "Why do you say this, Master! Heng'er is not dead and has just grown hair, how can I send him out of the capital!"
Seeing her like this, Yun Wenzhong couldn't help but sneer and said: "I still dream of going to the East Palace to be my daughter-in-law!"
Mrs. Cheng'en was annoyed by these words: "What I said is really unfair. I dare not have such a sweet dream if my sister does this! You and your son are the only ones who remember the Queen Mother's promise!"
As soon as she said the words, she saw that her husband's face turned pale, and she immediately regretted her mistake: "It's not my fault, please don't take it personally!"
Yun Wenzhong felt the rusty smell rising in his throat, and it took him a long time to suppress it. He was sweating like rain, as if he had been fished out of water.
Mrs. Cheng'en felt regretful and hurriedly wanted to call the doctor, but just as she was about to speak, her husband grabbed her.
"Don't panic! Don't panic!" Yun Wenzhong opened and closed his mouth weakly. The words were meant for his old wife, but his eyes were fixed on the ceiling of the tent.
"Master, don't scare me!" Mrs. Cheng'en held her husband's thin hand tightly, half-kneeling by the bed, crying.
"Huh~~" I don't know if he was moved by his wife's words or if he figured it out, Yun Wenzhong let out a long sigh of relief and said to himself, "I understand! I understand."
"Ah?" Mrs. Cheng'en looked at him in confusion with tears in her eyes.
Just listen to him say: "Noble concubine, noble concubine... The emperor is still suspicious of her!"
When her husband mentioned the imperial concubine, the face of her arrogant sister-in-law appeared in Mrs. Chengen's mind.
When her husband said that the emperor was suspicious of the imperial concubine, her heart dropped.
The husband always believed that his sister was innocent and simple, and she did not give birth to a prince when she entered the palace. Moreover, the prince Huaiyan grew up under the Queen Mother's knee and had a special relationship with her. It was impossible for her to do anything to him.
But she felt that not only Prince Huaiyan, but also Prince Huai'en fell into the water, and her shadow was also involved.
Just because the Queen Mother tried to protect the concubine and all the manpower she needed was allocated by the Queen Mother, the emperor searched the palace and found no evidence to prove that the concubine was capable of such a treasonous act, so he gave up.
After all, as a human being, it is impossible to believe that the Queen Mother could connive at her niece to kill the only prince in the palace.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cheng'en's hands and feet felt cold, but she couldn't express her thoughts to others.
But Yun Wenzhong still murmured softly: "You shouldn't take the emperor's promise that Yun's daughter will be his concubine seriously!"
His words made Duke Cheng'en's wife tremble, as if her thoughts were all tangled up in an instant!
She grabbed her husband's wrist and said: "It's time to send Sister Heng to Rou'er and ask her aunt to arrange a good marriage for her! Huguang is far away from the capital, and based on our family and appearance, our Sister Heng wants to marry into a good family. It's so easy."
"No!" Yun Wenzhong took a deep breath, pushed his old wife's hand away, and looked at her with piercing eyes, "My son-in-law is the chief envoy of Huguang. Da Lang also passed the exam early, and his family is well-educated. Letting Wu Heng pass is also a way for her to study quietly and study hard for scientific examinations."
When Mrs. Cheng'en heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little startled, and remained speechless for a long time.
However, Yun Wenzhong became more and more powerful as he spoke: "Today I am playing chess with Your Majesty. During this time, Duke Sheng Guo, Duke An Guo, and Marquis Baoxiang came to the imperial court. They actually stood up for their own children with their words. I heard every heart-breaking remark. I wish I could cover my face and run away!”
Mrs. Cheng'en was also angry when she heard this: "How can this be unreasonable! How dare they dare to act so arrogantly in front of the emperor?! Even if there is something wrong with my family, Shuntian Prefecture has sentenced, beaten and punished!
Their children are safe and sound, but my family has lost all face! Isn't this punishment enough? As the saying goes, you can kill with just a nod of the head!
They are bullying others too much! "
Seeing the anger on the old wife's face, Yun Wenzhong couldn't help but shake his head and continued: "The prince also came later, but he was polite, gentle, and smiled... But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was apologizing for his nephew!"
He smiled bitterly when he said this: "Every word is a confession on behalf of my nephew, but there is a flash of sharpness in the words!"
"Ah this!" Mrs. Cheng'en was shocked, "Concubine An is so favored?"
"...Cough cough cough cough cough!" Yun Wenzhong did not expect that his wife would focus on this. He was a little stunned for a moment, and soon started coughing.
Mrs. Cheng'en covered her face and hurriedly stepped forward to help him stand up. She patted him on the back and said, "Master, don't worry. Since we have planned to keep a low profile, the prince's dissatisfaction is not a big deal. As long as he takes good care of his children and grandchildren, the prince will be crowned." It’s not a good idea to treat the Emperor’s family badly.”
"Don't mention it, don't mention it!" Yun Wenzhong waved his hand, "The prince is now acting and thinking more and more like the emperor. I saw that when he talked to Duke Sheng Guo and Marquis Baoxiang, he often praised the academic performance of the girls in their houses. Come to think of it... …The women’s imperial examination is not far away.”
"You want Sister Heng to take part in the scientific examination!" Mrs. Cheng'en was surprised.
