Three days have passed since Concubine Pan gave birth.
The emperor is unconscious, and the life or death of the prince is uncertain.
The entire capital fell into a strange atmosphere. Wu Xun stayed behind closed doors, but civil servants moved around frequently in private.
Tianbo Mansion.
The Yang family aunt hurriedly walked into Taijun She's room and reported in a low voice:
"Old lady, please find out clearly that the little prince has been saved, but his body is very weak."
"The imperial doctors said that the official family is extremely dangerous this time. If Cao Bin hadn't left a magic medicine, I'm afraid..."
"But the chance of the official family waking up is extremely small."
Hearing this, Taijun She's eyes suddenly turned red, and she sighed sadly:
"It's too early for something to happen to His Majesty in his prime."
Although the current emperor has many shortcomings, overall, he is still kind and wise.
Later generations like Cao Bin don't quite understand the relationship between king and minister, but it does exist. For the ancients, the country is the king, and the king is the country.
Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is not just a slogan. Once you have been educated for a long time, you will naturally become emotionally involved.
Thinking that the monarch who had been loyal to him for more than 20 years was about to pass away, Taijun She couldn't help but feel sad.
The Yang family's aunt was silent for a while, and after the old lady calmed down, she said:
"Now Prime Minister Wang, Cai Jing and others are arguing with Pan Renmei over who should be in charge of politics."
Mrs. She said:
"Of course the Queen Mother will take charge of the affairs for the time being. Is there any other way to say it?"
Auntie Yang said:
"The old lady forgot that the Queen Mother has stains on her body, and Pan Renmei wants Concubine Pan to take charge of the government."
When the current emperor first came to the throne, the Queen Mother had listened to the affairs behind the curtain. She also had thoughts of occupying him and used many shameful methods.
In the Bao Gong case, she even blatantly colluded with the King of Xiangyang.
Now that King Xiangyang was directly deposed by Cao Bin, she didn't expose more.
Taijun She snorted and said:
"Even so, it's not Concubine Pan's turn. She's not the queen yet."
"In order to fight for power, I ignored postpartum etiquette..."
The Yang family and the Pan family had a deep hatred. The last thing she wanted was for the Pan family to gain power, and the Pan family's father and daughter were indeed a bit unlucky.
Aunt Yang’s wife smiled bitterly and said:
"This is still the introduction. If the official family cannot wake up, the position of the prince will be a big trouble."
"The little prince is too young and frail, so it is difficult for the court to recognize him..."
In this era of the Song Dynasty, babies were extremely likely to die young.
Even if the little prince is healthy, it will be very difficult for him to grow up, let alone the current situation?
If he died within a few years of taking the throne, it would be a very heavy blow to the court and the Song Dynasty.
Especially now that the emperor has died several years ago, no one dares to bet unless they are his closest relatives...
Auntie Yang said:
"According to my guess, Wang Xiang, Lord Kou and others plan to adopt Prince Yong's son for Your Majesty."
"He is now eleven or twelve years old, which is the right age."
"There is also Cai Jing, I'm afraid he has other plans."
Mrs. She snorted lightly, nodded and said:
"No wonder Nakou Lao Xi'er is so anxious. It turned out to be this idea."
"Does he think that my Yang family will act recklessly?"
The aunt of the Yang family couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw the old lady being so rude. It seemed that the old lady had some objections to Mr. Kou.
But it’s not her fault.
It was originally agreed that the matchmaker would let Sister Yang and Zhang Wen slowly get along and develop a relationship, and then they could talk about marriage after both parties had no objections.
Unexpectedly, Kou Zhun came directly to the door yesterday with Zhang Wen, claiming that an ordinary banquet was an engagement banquet, issued a betrothal gift and marriage certificate on the spot, and came to a fraudulent marriage.
If Kou Zhun hadn't saved Yang Liulang back then and secretly helped the Yang family to trap Pan Long and Pan Hu, thus being a great favor to the Yang family, Taijun She would have turned against him long ago.
In fact, Kou Zhun was helpless. Although he had been on good terms with the Yang family for generations, he was naturally wary of military officials.
Especially last time, the Yang family reached a tacit agreement with the emperor and Cao Bin to send troops without authorization, which made him extremely insecure and always wanted to do something.
At this moment, the maid suddenly came to report:
"Sorry, old lady, the eighth lady left a letter and ran away from home."
Mrs. She was shocked when she heard this. She quickly took the letter and read it. After reading it, she anxiously tapped the dragon-headed stick and said:
"Going to Jiangnan to relax?"
"I knew it was that little bastard Cao Bin who caused this. Boss, go chase her."
"She can go anywhere, but she can't go to Cao Bin. In such a situation, that kid can't control his belt..."
"My Yang family's reputation will be ruined by him."
Aunt Yang's expression changed and she nodded quickly.
She was about to greet the servants when Taijun She reminded her again:
"Go quietly, don't make any noise, send her to Guiying, don't come back in a hurry."
The Yang family's aunt quickly left the city with a few servants, and was about to pursue the southeast, but she saw Zhang Wen also chasing up with a group of men and horses, and shouted:
"Where are you going, aunt?"
Aunt Yang’s wife was very embarrassed and said:
"I have something to do...where are you going?"
Zhang Wen stared at her for a long time, a green light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said angrily:
"Why do you need to lie to me? I have always sent people to keep an eye on Tianbo Mansion."
"Where else can I go? I'll chase that bitch back!"
"Now that we are engaged, we are members of the Zhang family. She can't even think of humiliating me..."
As he spoke, he ignored the Yang family's rapidly changing expression and kicked his horse away.
"Bitter!"
When the Yang family's aunt saw this, she could only touch her forehead and be speechless. This was the time when something was going to happen.
So without thinking too much, he quickly ordered a servant to report back to Taijun She, while he himself urged his horse to pursue him.
Six days later, Zhang Wen finally caught up with Sister Yang near Bozhou.
Seeing Sister Yang walking slowly along the official road with a leisurely look, Zhang Wen hurriedly urged his horse to block in front of her and shouted angrily:
"Bitch...Yang Yanqi, you are engaged to me, why are you looking for Cao Bin?"
"What's your intention? You must follow me back to Beijing today!"
Sister Yang glanced sideways at him and said with anger on her pretty face:
"Bah, who is engaged to you?"
"Also, who do you think you are? How dare you control me? I can find anyone I want."
"If you want to marry me, you must first defeat this gun in my hand!"
As he spoke, he flashed his gun and pointed it at Zhang Wen.
When Zhang Wen heard this, his face turned red and he said:
"That's what you said. Don't underestimate me just because you think I have failed once..."
With that said, he raised his green dragon halberd and rushed over:
"Eighth sister, let me show you my Zhang Wen's real ability... Damn it!"
Before he could rush forward, he saw Sister Yang suddenly pulling out two crossbows from under the saddle, raising the crossbows and shooting. He was so frightened that he bent down, turned his horse and ran away.
Sister Yang said disdainfully:
"Ignorant and reckless man, are you worthy of competing with me?"
After saying that, he retracted his crossbow, kicked his horse, and rushed towards the south.
Until she disappeared, Zhang Wencai ran back in embarrassment with a crossbow arrow stuck in his arm. He grinned in pain and said with a livid face:
"This bitch is as shameless as a dog."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and said:
"Keep chasing me, and you guys will join me next time..."
