Jia Lian quickly took the box away, and then he had no intention of going out to sell it today. He was thinking of going out to pawn it for money tomorrow.
.......
Shenjing, the imperial palace, and the imperial study.
Emperor Yongtai looked at Dai Quan beside him and asked, "I heard that Jia Yun and the others are on their way back to Beijing? What is the specific situation?"
Recently, Emperor Yongtai was disturbed by a lot of bad debts from the court. His head hurt and he was very unhappy.
Since Jia Yun disappeared, most memorials in the court have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Car after cart of memorials contained either memorials about participating in people's affairs, memorials about asking for money, showing merits, wanting the emperor to promote themselves, and occasionally some bullshit articles praising the emperor and praising his virtues.
These people only wanted to please Emperor Yongtai in order to gain greater wealth.
But it made Emperor Yongtai troubled so much that he could not even rest at night. Most of them were overwhelmed by the endless government affairs.
If Emperor Yongtai was a foolish king, that would be fine.
Just burn these garbage memorials and that's it.
However, Emperor Yongtai planned to be a wise king, but this wise king was not so easy to be. xь.
As a result, the harem was in decline and many concubines in the harem were left out.
Even Jia Yuanchun's life in the harem was not easy.
Before, she was in a kind of widowhood, but now that she has the position of a noble concubine, it is still similar to the days when she was a widow.
What a bitter word!
As imperial concubines and harem concubines, they could only wait for the emperor to come find them.
But they have no way to live like common people's married life. As long as they think about it, they can find it.
But in this harem with strict rules, the women do not have the courage and ability.
Emperor Yongtai was not very interested in this.
As an emperor who aspires to be an eternal sage, how can he be dragged down by beauty?
What's more, there are so many government affairs that he needs to handle, and he is too busy to handle them. How can he have too much time to enjoy life in the harem?
Seeing that it was late at night, Queen Dugu called the eunuch beside her and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to spend time in the imperial study again today?"
The young eunuch nodded when he heard this, and responded quickly: "Your Majesty, you have been handling government affairs in the royal study for the past few days. You will not rest until the third watch. I am afraid that you will not have time to come to the harem."
Hearing the words of the young eunuch, Queen Dugu immediately frowned. She looked at the eunuch again and asked, "I heard that Your Majesty coughed up blood a few days ago. Is this true?"
The eunuch was so frightened by this question that he quickly knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Queen, my servants don't dare to say nonsense. You can be noble and spare me!"
Queen Dugu said with a cold face, "I forgive you, but it doesn't matter."
Seeing that Queen Dugu refused to give up without asking about the matter, the eunuch hesitated for a moment, sighed helplessly and said: "Your Majesty has indeed been unwell recently, but he has already asked the imperial doctor to have a look at it, and he has opened it." If you get a prescription to cure the disease, it should be fine."
Queen Dugu's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she began to ponder in her heart: If His Majesty died suddenly and suddenly, wouldn't I be doomed too?
Once there was a problem with the emperor's body, especially something major like coughing up blood, it was always related to the future and destiny of the queen.
Once the emperor died suddenly and suddenly, the fate of Queen Dugu could be imagined.
For a while, Queen Dugu asked the eunuch to go down, thinking about the future.
Especially when she thought of her son, the eldest prince who was a few years old, Queen Dugu's eyes revealed a ruthless look, and she said: "There is no husband without poison! It seems that the prince's matter must be dealt with. Let’s discuss this with Jia Yuanchun.”
Originally, the meaning conveyed by Jia Yuanchun did not make Empress Dugu catch a cold very much.

After all, Emperor Yongtai and she were both still young. How could they be old in their twenties and thirties?
It is probably inappropriate for someone so young to hastily establish the position of prince.
Have you ever heard of a seventy-year-old prince?
The emperor was too young and the prince was appointed too early. It was destined to be a tragedy.
Queen Dugu read through history books and had seen many tragic past events of the previous princes.
Even the former prince raised his troops and rebelled because he couldn't stand it any longer.
Let yourself end up trapped in the East Palace.
The Supreme Emperor was heartbroken because of this incident, and had the idea of retiring, and handed over the position of emperor to the current Emperor Yongtai.
It can be said that becoming a prince too early will lead to trouble and court death.
As a smart person, Queen Dugu would naturally not want to see such a situation happen.
As long as she can stabilize her fundamentals, not be a monster, not seek death, and live a peaceful life, sooner or later the position of emperor will belong to her son.
However, it was suddenly reported that Emperor Yongtai was coughing up blood and seemed to be suffering from a serious illness.
This frightened Queen Dugu.
What if the emperor dies suddenly and suddenly, what will she and the child do?
The prince did not stand down.
King Beijing and others have always had the idea of rebellion.
I'm just afraid that these people may not send troops to attack the palace and seize the throne by then.
Queen Dugu thought about this matter for a long time, and finally she made a decision and determination, that is, to go to Jia Yuanchun to contact Jia Yun, promote the prince to the throne, and determine the prince's position in advance to avoid changes later.
As long as the crown prince is established, even if the emperor dies suddenly and suddenly, she can still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and let the prince inherit the throne smoothly and legitimately, instead of leaving it unresolved and bringing many variables.
For a moment, Queen Dugu ordered her personal servant Qiu Hong, saying: "Qiu Hong, you go to Fengzao Palace immediately and ask Sister Yuanchun to come to me. Tell her that I have something important to discuss with her."
After saying that, Na Qiuhong hurriedly went to Fengzao Palace and invited Jia Yuanchun.
Jia Yuanchun was walking on the road, thinking about what Queen Dugu meant by inviting him over.
She pondered in her mind: Could it be that the Queen had thought clearly and planned to let the crown prince's position fall in advance?
Among the suggestions given by Jia Yun, neither Jia Yuanchun nor Queen Dugu could see Jia Yun's meaning or the thoughts behind it.
After all, Jia Yun supports Empress Dugu's son and the eldest prince ascends to the throne, which is justified, and she really can't find any excuse to go against herself.
Perhaps the only variable is that the current eldest prince is still too young, only a few years old.
But princes of several years old are not uncommon in the past dynasties.
Even in infancy, there are many people who have determined the identity of the prince.
