Chapter 114 The storm is coming
Chapter 114 The storm is coming
After Wen Yan cleaned himself up, he was a clean and dry young boy again.
He supported Jinyou and walked in Liuyunzhai for only an incense stick's time before Jinyou became exhausted and found a place to sit and rest.
Not long after, Ying Yi came hurrying over, so fast that it seemed as if he had flown here using Qinggong.
that's the truth.
Yingyi did not know at first that the prince had woken up.
Qing Fei, that useless guy, suppressed the news.
He also knew that this was a consideration for the fact that the prince had just woken up and his body had not yet recovered, and he also wanted to wait until the prince was fully recovered before reporting.
But time waits for no one, the situation is urgent, how can I care about so many things!
Yingyi walked quickly to Jinyou, knelt down, and then began to speak:
"Prince, while you were unconscious, a fire broke out in the deserted courtyard. The eldest prince found a jade pendant, and the emperor was furious. Song Muran was exiled. Zhang Jing and Chen Yi were successively dismissed, and then replaced by the third prince's faction. The second prince's faction was also hit, and even the second prince was confined to his house. The queen in the harem is seriously ill and may not survive the end of the year."
Ying picked out the important things and spoke them all in one breath, giving Jinyou time to react.
Fortunately, Jinyou was just sick and not stupid.
My brain started working fast after Yingyi finished speaking.
The fire in the deserted courtyard may be related to Ge Pu Mu.
As for Song Muran's demotion, it was also due to his lax governance. Such a big mistake could be made within his jurisdiction, and the fact that Emperor Xuan didn't behead him was already a credit to his ancestors for their good deeds.
but...
"What's going on with the second prince?" This was what Jinyou couldn't figure out. The second prince had been quiet recently and there was no news of any unusual movements. Why was he suddenly confined to his room?
"I don't know the specific details of the intelligence I received, but I only know that the Emperor summoned the Second Prince to the Imperial Study late at night and talked with him for nearly an hour. The next day, the Second Prince was confined to his residence."
Jin You thought for a moment, then thought of something and asked, "It seems that the Second Prince's wife is about to give birth?"
Ying Yi was stunned for a moment, but still answered respectfully: "Probably in the next two days."
"Yeah." Jinyou slowly outlined the pattern on the hand warmer with his fingers, looking at the gradually brightening sky, his eyes somewhat blank.
He had a premonition that the Second Prince would definitely make some unusual moves on the day the Second Prince's wife gave birth.
The storm is really coming!
It’s just that it’s hard to judge what Xiao Mingyi really wants for the time being?
"Where is the queen?" Why did she suddenly become seriously ill and die when she was fine?
The Queen was going to die, but at least she wasn't dying in vain at such a sensitive time.
"The news from the palace is that after the Empress learned that the Fifth Prince had been demoted to a commoner and expelled from the capital, she had a huge argument with the Emperor in Concubine Yu's palace, and even slapped Concubine Yu for protecting the Emperor..."
As everyone knows, the emperor has become more and more obsessed with Concubine Yu recently, and the queen asked the palace maid to slap the favorite concubine a few times in front of the emperor. But the slap was not on Wanqi's face, but on the emperor's face!
Naturally, Emperor Xuan was furious. In a fit of rage, he confined the empress to Jingren Palace and promoted Concubine Yu to become the only noble concubine.
Jinyou was stunned, his face full of disbelief.
"According to our ancestral law, there has always been only one Imperial Concubine. This... the Emperor actually promoted Concubine Yu to the rank of Imperial Concubine. Isn't this just a disgrace to my He family?"
"Yes, Prince! Not only is the Imperial Concubine in the harem no match for the foreign princess, but even in the court, the Prince's men have been replaced by the Third Prince's men! People are in a state of panic these days. Many ministers who have old acquaintances with the Prince have sent visiting cards to you, but you are ill and cannot see guests..."
Wenyan opened and closed his little mouth and chattered a lot.
"Although Zhang Jing and Chen Yi are small officials, they are both extremely important!"
Jin You had heard of these two people. One was in the Ministry of Personnel and the other in the Ministry of War. Although they held less prominent positions, they were at least He Qianzhao's spies. After all, the immediate superiors of these two departments were not He Qianzhao's men.
Now that the two people were replaced, it became difficult to squeeze in more people, which caught everyone off guard.
It seems I still need to quickly get involved in government affairs...
"Now that things have come to this, there's no need to rush. As for the person who delivered the visiting card... have them gather at Zui Chun Xuan after court tomorrow."
"No! How can the prince go to that place..."
Jinyou curled his lips, "Why can't I go? That place is the safest."
Wen Yan wanted to persuade him again, but Jin You made the final decision:
"Let's arrange it this way. Prepare to enter the palace in half an hour. Yingyi will send a message to Que'er, asking Concubine Yu to come to Rende Palace for a gathering."
It seems that Wanqi took action as he said, but it was a bit excessive.
"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."
Yingyi left, but Wenyan was still hesitant, wanting to say something but not daring to.
"Tsk, isn't your name Wenyan? Why aren't you talking?" This name is wasted.
"If I don't say it, the prince will ask me to say it. If I really say it, the prince won't like to hear it."
Okay, Jinyou understood that the young boy was still brooding over Zuichunxuan!
But this is hard to explain.
So he said, "Then don't say anything I don't like to hear."
The young boy's cheeks were puffed up, like an angry pufferfish, as if the pufferfish was about to pounce and bite someone in the next second.
He quickly interrupted the spell and said, "Good Wenyan, go serve the food! Your prince is starving to death!"
As expected, Wen Yan ran to the kitchen and stared at the chef as soon as he heard it.
Jinyou can also breathe and escape from the oppression of the crybaby.
But then he resolutely walked towards another crybaby.
Jinyou was still hesitant when he arrived at Xiao Yunzhen's door, but he soon heard Xiao Yunzhen's mumbling.
【Why hasn't Jinyou come yet? 】
【Where did Jinyou go? 】
【Jinyou forgot me...】
[Jinyou ah Jinyou ah Jinyou ah Jinyou ah...one hundred Jinyous are omitted here! ]
Jinyou's head almost exploded as he stood outside the door.
The devilish sound entered his ears, as if there were ten Xiao Yunzhen surrounding him, chanting his name over and over again in his ears.
He could no longer bear it, so he gritted his teeth and plunged into the "Jinyou pile".
【Ah? Ahhhhhhhh! Jinyou!!! You're finally here!】
The baby was happy, but Jinyou was really uncomfortable.
Has anyone ever told Xiao Yunzhen that the sound made by his small body is extremely harsh?
Wang held Xiao Yunzhen and bent her body awkwardly.
It was still silent, but the etiquette was more comprehensive.
"No thanks, just give the young master to me."
Wang was a little reluctant, her movements full of resistance. But the prince stared at her straight, making her scalp tingle, and she had no choice but to hand the baby to Jinyou.
Jinyou hugged Xiao Yunzhen and left Wang behind. Wang hooked her finger but didn't follow him.
She was reluctant to let the child leave her, but the prince was a good man and would not harm the little prince. The little prince came back soon, and after he came back, he was still her baby...
She could only comfort herself like this over and over again so that she could wait for Xiao Yunzhen to come back with peace of mind.
On the other side, under Wen Yan's gaze, the master chef and his apprentices were busy making a few light dishes and boiling porridge before asking someone to serve them up.
"Butler Xiao Wen, the prince's breakfast is ready. Shall we serve it now?"
Wen Yan raised his head slightly, "Spread it!"
Then the waiters came out with breakfast and went straight to Jinyou's room.
When the last dish was taken away, Wen Yan also followed the team back.
Everyone in the kitchen breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he left.
The master chef wiped the non-existent beads of sweat from his forehead and said to his apprentices, "This is the first time I've felt pressured while cooking!"
The disciples felt deeply touched and nodded one after another.
Who on earth is willing to do things under the watchful eyes of others?
