Just after the black blind Taoist priest left, Cen Fengxing rushed to the house without stopping. He heard that Mrs. Xiang's life was in danger, so he immediately came to check.
He walked through the long corridor and immediately saw Jiang Yubai guarding the door. Jiang Yubai sat quietly on the waterside pavilion in the courtyard, just in time to observe what was going on in the house.
Cen Fengxing walked around the corridor and walked up to Jiang Yubai, his tone slightly anxious: "Why are you here? Don't you know what day it is today? If you don't adjust the internal energy in your body, your life will be in danger. You do you know?"
Jiang Yubai was used to this kind of situation, "I'm fine, you go see Mrs. Xiang first."
Cen Fengxing has never seen him take his own life so seriously. He is now a staff member, and he is being called around to treat him as a doctor. Cen Fengxing heard Shen Zhiyi's voice coming from inside before he even got close. Whimpering.
Xiang Jinzhu's body was extremely weak. If it weren't for her unfulfilled wish, she would have passed away long ago. Cen Fengxing put his hand on her pulse, but he could no longer feel the slightest breath of life. She seemed to notice something, and her fingertips trembled slightly.
Cen Fengxing leaned over and whispered something in her ear. Suddenly, a tear fell from the corner of Xiang Jinzhu's eyes. This tear seemed to contain all her emotions and wishes, and seemed to be her last farewell to the world.
Cen Fengxing sighed and said, "Miss Shen, Mrs. Xiang's strength has been exhausted."
When Shen Zhiyi heard this, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears couldn't stop sliding down her cheeks. She said with a trembling voice: "Thank you, Mr. Cen."
Cen Fengxing looked at Xiang Jinzhu's gradually cooling body with mixed feelings in his heart. The entire mansion was immersed in grief. Shen An did not go to court for three days and stayed quietly beside his wife's mourning hall.
His marriage to Xiang Jinzhu was originally due to a family marriage. During the wedding night, Xiang Jinzhu clearly told Shen An that he was marrying him just to maintain the relationship between the two clans and that he had no extra feelings for him.
The two have respected each other for many years.
Cen Feng walked up to Shen An, patted his shoulder, and said softly: "My condolences."
Shen An nodded slightly and said nothing.
Mourning flags were hung inside and outside the mansion, and everyone in Shen Hong's main room was beheaded for public display. Zhou Ziyan turned the jade in his hand. His current identity was the sixth prince of Tianshu Kingdom, and his actions and actions were naturally monitored. The people under Jiang Yubai have been watching him 24 hours a day since he stepped into the capital.
The most puzzling thing is that Si Nian was also followed by his people. He had obviously made his identity watertight, and even sent him to Prince Rui to work in a dirty job. Originally, he thought Jiang Yubai was just watching. He looked at King Rui, but he didn't expect that he was staring at Si Nian.
The waiter in the theater brought a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus soup and placed it in front of Zhou Shengyan. He murmured something in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
Hearing the news, he couldn't help but frown, and an ominous premonition filled his heart.
Now that all these things have happened, Emperor Jing still refuses to relent and marry the princess to Tianshu. Emperor Jing, the heir of the Song family, actually refuses to let go. He took out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it to the waiter, "You know what to do?" How to do it."
To make the old emperor feel a little nervous, he is eager to marry the princess as soon as possible. The sixth prince's marriage was planned for you, so you have to accept it.
The waiter took the secret letter and hurriedly left the theater.
The carriage was waiting here for a long time outside the theater. After getting on the carriage, Zhou Shengyan looked at the beauty who had been waiting for him. His heart was filled with ripples. He stretched out his hand to touch the beautiful face of the beauty in his arms. There was no trace of the anxious look on his face. , thinking of Emperor Jing's deflated appearance, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
A person who prides himself on being noble cannot change his despicable attitude even if he ascends to the throne.
The embarrassing stories of robbery and plunder were spread all over the place. Dog Emperor, let me see how long you can keep pretending. It was his arrogance and self-righteousness that made people take control of it. It's a pity that Shen Hong's chess piece has already been Damn it, Prince Rui is a master who is not easy to fool.
Just waiting for Wen Huaimin to take the bait, King Rui was determined to win the throne and had always looked down on King Hengyuan. Now that King Hengyuan has lost power, King Rui took advantage of the victory to pursue and Wen Huaimin achieved great achievements in front of the Holy Emperor. Shen Hong was pressed into prison by Jiang Yubai They were tortured every day and couldn't survive or die.
The carriage started to shake. Yin Lan was leaning against the window and fell on top of him. Zhou Shengyan looked at the woman in front of him who was flattering him in every possible way. His fingertips lightly touched the ends of her hair, and her eyebrows were full of charm. "Master Hou, remember to take me with you when you return to Tianshu."
Her tone was soft and soft, and she didn't sound like a secret guard at all. In the past two days, Zhou Shengyan had doubted her identity, looking for people to test her martial arts. He checked her pulse with his own hands, and there was no sign of practicing martial arts at all.
Zhou Shengyan had just brought this girl with him. Emperor Jing had asked him to choose on his own at the banquet. Everyone knew about the ridiculous things that Si Nian did in Tianshu. If the emperor became suspicious because of this, it would be more than worth the loss.
In addition, he personally selected this woman from dozens of dancers. He sent his people to investigate Yinlan. She was sold to the courtyard by the patriarchal family. When her mother-in-law saw that she was pretty, she sold her to the courtyard. Sent to the dance studio.
"Master Hou~ I won't stop you from marrying the princess. I am from a humble background, so I can't compare with the princess. I just want to be by your side. I am satisfied. I am not valued by my parents in Dongling, nor am I treated well. See, I just ask for your mercy."
As she spoke, she inadvertently exposed her fair skin and rested it on his body. Her every frown and smile were as heart-warming as a fox. She was very clever and managed it just right. Last time I heard that he went out to meet the princess, and occasionally had a little temper. Zhou Shengyan even thought more about it. She has to be tight.
This man just doesn't feel the taste of the food until it reaches his mouth. He has to play hard to get and flatter him occasionally to find it interesting.
As the saying goes, a good wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a thief, and a thief is worse than a concubine who cannot steal.
"I will marry the princess, and you and I will take you away." Zhou Shengyan said, scratching her nose, holding her in his arms, pushing aside her clothes, and slowly moving his cold fingertips down her shoulders. ...
Zhou Shengyan pinched her waist, and Yin Lan instantly felt numb. She pushed him away and said with a blushing face: "Master, this, this is on the carriage..."
Yin Lan originally wanted him to restrain himself, but it would be bad if someone saw you. "Young master, I am from a humble background. If outsiders see you like this, your reputation will be ruined."
What are you afraid of? Anyway, he is now carrying the title of the Sixth Prince of Tianshu Kingdom. If he doesn't win, he will probably lose his identity. The few strands of hair that are messed up by the hairpin look particularly messy.
"What are you afraid of? This is my king's carriage. Outsiders dare not check it."
...
Emperor Jing was worried all day long because of Shen Hong's affairs. His concubine was sent to the cold palace by him and went crazy for a while. The empress lived in the Yangxin Palace, and no one except a few nannies and maids who took care of her wanted to hang out there. The queen was frightened when she talked nonsense.
The entire palace was immersed in a haze. He had just spent the night with Concubine Duan Guifei last night, but he was so energyless the next day. The father-in-law beside him organized the memorials at his hand one by one.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this to your body. Go to the bed and rest."
A bowl of lotus seed soup was brought in front of the emperor. Wen Huaimin threatened him at every turn and found out several of Shen Hong's secret activities. Not only did he successfully clear himself, but he also allowed King Hengyuan to escape so arrogantly. punished. After the news came out, public anger surged like a tide and public resentment arose.
Although Wen Huaimin was an important minister in the court, he tried his best to defend King Hengyuan on this issue and asked the emperor to pardon his crimes. Faced with Wen Huaimin's persecution and the people's anger, the emperor could only make concessions and ordered King Hengyuan to be detained for three months to calm the turmoil.
The Tianshu Kingdom was brave and good at fighting, and wiped out its neighboring countries. Fighting was a waste of people and money. Emperor Jing thought that Tianshu would recuperate after this incident, but he repeatedly caused chaos on the border.
Fortunately, the mob in Tianshu only came to my territory to do some small things like home invasion and robbery. The local officials presented many memorials. Emperor Jing had a headache when he saw these. The emperor picked up the lotus seed soup with no expression on his face and sipped it gently. Take a bite.
This soup is sweet yet bitter, and is made from the lotus seeds stored last year. This year, the harvest in the Jiangnan area is not good and the taxes are severe. Many ordinary people died on the streets. This year, the lotus seeds in the Jiangnan area have not been delivered yet.
"Send a letter to the officials in Jiangnan," Emperor Jing said slowly, "just say that I miss the lotus seeds in Jiangnan."
Eunuch Liu immediately followed His Majesty's instructions. Jiang Yubai happened to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. When he walked to the study, he saw the eunuch hurriedly taking out the remaining lotus seed soup. The bitterness of the lotus seeds and candied fruit could not cover it up. His Majesty ordered these to be served. They were all taken and poured out.
Jiang Yubai came in and Emperor Jing was reviewing the memorials. Emperor Jing let him stand beside him for half an hour. After reading the memorials from the border areas, he put them aside and said, "Eunuch Liu, there is no need to hand over the memorials from the border areas these two days." Give it to me."
Eunuch Liu brought another cup of new tea to the emperor. This year’s new tea was West Lake Longjing. The aroma is overflowing and permeates the whole room, as if it transports people to the tea garden by the West Lake. The emperor took a deep breath, as if he could feel the fresh fragrance of tea and the natural charm.
"Your Majesty, please try this tea. This year's West Lake Longjing is particularly good." Eunuch Liu said softly, his face full of pride.
The emperor took the teacup with a smile and took a sip. The sweet tea slid down your throat, leaving a faint aftertaste. He closed his eyes, as if savoring every detail of the tea.
"It is indeed good tea." The emperor praised softly, "This year's West Lake Longjing is really unforgettable."
Emperor Jing walked up to Jiang Yubai with tea, but inadvertently spilled the tea on his lapel. The scalding tea was instantly poured onto Jiang Yubai's body, but he showed no sign of moving. Jiang Yubai silently took out the handkerchief and handed it to Emperor Jing. There was no trace of complaint or dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Wen Huaimin presented the evidence of Shen Hong's crimes, including the recommendation and promotion of some aristocratic families. Wen Huaimin got a lot of achievements in vain, and Shen Hong made wedding clothes for others. You can only follow these to force Wen Huaimin I surrendered and had to cut off my tail to keep it intact.”
Emperor Jing took the handkerchief and wiped his sleeves. There was contemplation in his eyes, as if he was recalling the scene in the court today.
He recalled Wen Huaimin's face, whose majesty almost concealed his imperial power. The ministers in the DPRK agreed with Wen Huaimin's opinions one after another, as if his decision was God's will. This is Wen Huaimin's brilliance. With the interests involved in the family, he can mobilize people's hearts and let everyone be led by his nose.
The emperor should have made the decision in the court, but today the court has become a place where Wen Huaimin talks about wind and rain.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Wen Huaimin will definitely be dissatisfied with the aristocratic family if he pays for it with well salt and water transportation in Shuzhong. If he gains the power of the aristocratic family, he will be pushed down because of his interests."
