King Jin looked around, pulled up the quilt, and lay back.
…
There is deep brotherhood and laughter in the East Palace, but a new storm is brewing at the emperor's side.
After leaving the East Palace, the emperor returned to Qianqing Palace in a sedan chair, but was stopped on the way.
He frowned slightly, raised his hand to lift the curtain of the sedan chair, but a confidant came forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, this is a strict command."
The emperor's expression became awe-inspiring.
Although this adopted son is young, he has always acted prudently. If the incident hadn't happened suddenly, how could he have come at this time of night?
He nodded slightly, and his confidant took a few steps back knowingly, and Yan Zhao's calm and peaceful face appeared outside the window.
He reported all the changes of Huangfu Wen, the second grandson of the East Palace.
After the emperor heard this, his first thought was that Lou had been reprimanded this time. He didn't care about anything, so he went to chase him first. It can be seen that there is indeed a love between mother and son, and he is not pretending to be a monster.
But besides that...there must be something wrong with this kid!
Otherwise, how could he say that the Crown Princess could not save herself at this time, and that Lou could be called back in four months at most? !
As for what he was implying, the emperor thought for a moment and had the answer.
Four months have passed there. The Crown Princess is now pregnant with Liujia, already in July. By the time she gives birth, the conspiracy will be launched. Huangfu Wen even expected it, so Losing one's life is ordinary.
But then, problems arise.
How could he predict that something would go wrong when the Crown Princess gave birth?
If there was strife in the harem, quarrels between wives and concubines, things that even Lou didn't know about, he knew everything about them.
To say that a six-year-old child can surpass his mother and use human hands to kill a concubine is a fantasy!
Not to mention that he seems to be quite confident that as long as Lou survives this period of time, his situation will improve - doesn't the emperor know about others and himself?
Mrs. Lou was deposed from her position and driven out of the palace under his own orders, so how could he slap himself in the face and do more favors to her?
The Lou family's family background is not as prominent as that of the Crown Princess. It doesn't seem like they can make immortal contributions, so they are favoring their daughter!
Do you favor her because of Huangfu Wen?
That would be even more impossible.
He is just the grandson of the Eastern Palace, not to mention that the Crown Princess has a grandson in her womb. Even if bad luck results in the death of both mother and son, he still has an eldest brother who can crush him in etiquette and dental order!
Why does Huangfu have a diploma, and why should he be so generous to Lou? He only needs to wait for a few months to succeed?
The emperor was puzzled and confused. A ray of cold wind poured into the sedan along the half-opened curtain, which made him shiver. In the flash of lightning, he thought of a possibility with almost horror.
If Huangfu Wen wants to stand out in the East Palace, it is certainly not enough that the crown prince dies, but what if the emperor's eldest grandson also dies too? !
By then, he will be the oldest and most likely descendant of Donggong. Even if he doesn't like his grandson, for the sake of the overall situation, shouldn't he still have to be kind to him?
The emperor was startled by this guess and broke out in a cold sweat. At first he thought it was nonsense, but then he thought about it based on Huangfu Wen's words, and felt that the two comparisons were perfect!
But then, new problems arise.
How did Huangfuwen know this?
He couldn't be a child of only six years old, confident that he could hide it from everyone, stir up trouble in the East Palace, and kill the crown prince and the emperor's eldest grandson, right?
The emperor fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he finally called his confidant over: "Do something for me."
…
The time we get together is always short.
Zhu Yunwen held Lou's hand reluctantly, and Lou gave him countless instructions.
When the time came, mother and son said goodbye with tears in their eyes.
Zhu Yunwen was full of anxiety when he came, as if a fire was burning in his belly.
At this time, when we turned back, the fire had burned to the end. Although there was still some residual warmth inside, the outside was already filled with pale ashes and smoke, and it was empty, as if something important had been lost.
Zhu Yunwen was no longer in a hurry to return to the East Palace, but slowed down and moved forward slowly.
Halfway through, I couldn't help shivering and hugged my arms tightly.
He was in a hurry when he came out. He was wearing the clothes used in the inner hall without a cloak. With the cold wind at midnight, he felt a little cold.
The chamberlain quickly took off his coat and gave it to him, but was stopped by Zhu Yunwen.
"No need," he said, "It's better to be colder."
At least it can wake people up.
Halfway through, Zhu Yunwen and his party were intercepted by people from Qianqing Palace.
The head of the chamberlain, who was the emperor's confidant, said in a gentle voice: "The emperor's grandson is here, but it is difficult to find slaves. The emperor heard that you were going to see off the concubine in the building. He praised your filial piety very much and sent you there specially. Come here, slave, please go over and talk..."
Zhu Yunwen was stunned when he heard this, and his heart that was almost withered suddenly glowed with vitality!
With a humble expression, he followed the words of the chamberlain and further deepened his character: "No matter how inappropriate a commoner may be, she is still my mother after all. The grace of being born is greater than heaven. I am the son of man, so how can I not come?" See you off?"
The chamberlain smiled and praised a few words, then led him to Qianqing Palace.
The night was already dark, autumn was howling, and the cold wind was blowing mercilessly on his face and body. However, Zhu Yunwen no longer felt cold. Only the endless heat came from the supreme palace of Qianqing Palace, warming his face inch by inch. His internal organs nourished his desire to grow crazily.
Zhu Yunwen entered along the doorway he had walked through countless times, but saw that the palace was not as brightly lit as it was when he became emperor.
It was probably dark at night, and most of the lights in the high seats in the palace were extinguished, but His Highness's candlelight remained.
He saluted step by step. When he raised his head slightly, he saw the emperor sitting on the wide and cold dragon chair. It is integrated with the dragon chair, and is projected onto the wall behind it.
However, the emperor's tone was clearly gentle: "Why are you wearing so little? It can be seen that the servant who is serving you is not paying attention!"
Zhu Yunwen didn't want to follow his confidants since he was a child because of this, so he hurriedly defended them, and by the way, he also brought the topic back to his own pride: "It's not their fault."
At this point, there were tears in his eyes, and his tone became choked with sobs: "After my grandson returned to the East Palace, he heard that his mother had left, and he chased her out in a hurry, and then..."
The emperor sighed softly: "You child, although you acted a little recklessly today, you are still a filial person."
After a pause, he added, "He is also a blessed person."
Blessed people!
Zhu Yunwen's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be puzzled: "Grandpa Huang, what do you mean by this?"
The emperor said: "It has always been the case that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to be raised but cannot be cared for by his relatives. Although Mr. Lou has been convicted today, he is still alive. Isn't it lucky? And my parents both died early in troubled times. Even if they are sitting in the world at this time, they are still alive." , we can only build a temple in the ancestral land to offer sacrifices and feel relieved..."
After hearing this, Zhu Yunwen felt a little sad, but then he quickly regained his composure and boasted: "Grandpa Huang has built this unprecedented achievement, and has made Huangfu's ancestors enjoy endless incense. He is already the most filial person. My grandson wants to , they will definitely be deeply gratified when they find out!"
"I hope so."
The emperor said with regret: "I did this because I hope that the world will follow suit, and that everyone will love me and grow up with me——"
At this point, he paused slightly.
Zhu Yunwen subconsciously continued: "Everyone will love each other and grow up with each other, and the world will be peaceful!"
The emperor suddenly became silent.
Zhu Yunwen's heart skipped a beat, and for some reason, he suddenly felt an ominous feeling.
He raised his head cautiously and called out uneasily: "Grandpa Huang..."
The emperor's face was hidden in the darkness at a high place, and he could not tell the difference between happiness and anger. Only the deep voice struck his heart: "Didn't you just start to learn the Analects of Confucius? How can you live up to the words in "Mencius"?"
Zhu Yunwen was stunned and his eyelids jumped wildly.
He stammered: "My grandson heard what the master who taught me said it and thought it was very reasonable, so I took it to heart."
The emperor said: "Which master said it? When did you hear it? Who else was around at that time?"
Zhu Yunwen became more and more hesitant and could only force a smile and said: "My grandson really can't remember the past period of time..."
The emperor smiled: "So, it's just a coincidence?"
Zhu Yunwen said bravely: "That's right."
The emperor sighed again: "It's always cold at high places. As an emperor, you will inevitably become suspicious."
He stood up and walked down the jade steps: "Good boy, I probably scared you, don't you blame Grandpa Huang?"
What can Zhu Yunwen say?
He hurriedly said: "How dare my grandson have such disrespect? Grandpa Huang's words make his grandson ashamed!"
The emperor laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and walked out of the palace.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen breathed a sigh of relief and walked out immediately.
At this moment, I heard the emperor say quietly: "I do plan to build a family temple in Fengyang ancestral land, but I am still considering it and have not made it public..."
"Brother Wen, how did you predict this?"
His voice seemed to come from the nine heavens, with a bone-crushing coldness, and it penetrated into Zhu Yunzhen's ears word by word: "Can you also talk to Grandpa Huang?"
Chapter 159
Brother Wen, how did you predict the future? Can you also tell Grandpa Huang?
When the emperor said this, his tone was still calm and not fierce. However, when it fell into Zhu Yunzhen's ears, the voice sounded as if it came from the netherworld, with a bone-chilling coldness.
It was like a thunder, hitting the top of the head.
He knelt down with a plop: "Grandpa Huang..."
Zhu Yunwen's mind was spinning rapidly, racking his brains to think of ways to break the situation.
Does Grandpa Huang doubt himself?
He suspected that he came here many years later, or was reborn, so he tested himself by building a temple in Fengyang, Huangfu's hometown?
Therefore, the family temple has not yet been built at this time, but because of what happened later, I had the answer early, so I subconsciously regarded the family temple as a long-existing product to restore, so I Only then did the flaw appear...
So, do you want to be honest?
