V2.Chapter 165

Yu Wan is nervous, where did she want to get these? I just thought it was because my Xianggong was very sick and didn't have the strength to push her away.

But she was a doctor after all, knowing that he was inevitably dehydrated with a high fever all night, so she mixed half a bowl of warm water with Shi Su, and gently coaxed him to drink it while he was half asleep.

Zisu felt that the prince was hurting by taking the prince's concubine as his own child, so why not the prince's concubine? It's just that neither of the two let the other know.

Yu Wan cleaned up and went to Old Cui Tou's house.

Ying Shisan had already brought his collection of books. He turned the pages in the middle of the night, and he was still making up his sleep. The door of the young master's mansion didn't creak. There was a loud noise, the latch was broken, and Yu Wan walked in.

Old Cui Tou, who was suddenly awakened: "..."

Old Cuitou sat up and pulled the quilt to cover his small chest: "You, you, you... what are you doing?!"

"Looking for you." Yu Wan said.

Old Cuitou was in a hurry to get angry: "Are you a girl just breaking into a man's house so casually? You...you can't even knock on the door?"

"I knocked, you didn't hear me, I had to come in by myself, and more." Yu Wan's words stopped, looked him up and down, and sighed, "You said that the man is a bit too much, you This is obviously an old man..."

Old Cui Tou with ten thousand arrows in his heart: "..."

Yu Wan didn't come to play tricks with him, she was looking for him on business: "I want to go to the palace, Yan Jiuchao will leave it to you, if he goes wrong, I will kill you!"

Old Cuitou glared: "Why are you so fierce, this doll!"

Yu Wan said calmly, "You have already entered the Young Master's Mansion, which is considered a betrayal of Concubine Xu Xian and His Royal Highness Prince Jing. Once the news is released, they will kill you if I don't kill you."

"I made you kidnap!" Old Cui frowned.

Yu Wan smiled lightly: "Who believes this?"

In short, the mother and son would not believe it.

Old Cui Tousheng lay back on the bed reluctantly, pulled the quilt over his head, and never wanted to talk to this doll again.

Yu Wan entered the palace after careful consideration. The news that someone in the Nanzhao royal family wanted Yan Jiuchao's death was revealed to her by the queen. She thought that maybe she could find a clue from the queen's mouth.

Yu Wan left both Poria and Zisu to look after Yan Jiuchao. After all, only these two maids knew about Yan Jiuchao's poisoning.

The Zhaoyang Palace became more and more lively. The concubines and concubines who came every day were like crucian carp crossing the river. There was not much movement at the Xianfu Palace.

Yes, even though she was scorned by the emperor, Fengyin and the power of the six palaces are still in her hands.

Concubine Xu Xian learned to keep her composure, as long as she did not make mistakes, the emperor would not let her hand over power.

The queen wanted to find the fault of Concubine Xu Xian, but Concubine Xu Xian obediently nestled in the Xianfu Palace and devoted herself to taking care of the emperor's housework.

"Prince Prince." Outside the Zhaoyang Palace, the female envoy Cui gave Yu Wan a salute.

"Is Niangniang meeting guests?" Yu Wan said politely.

Yu Wan had no reason to come uninvited. She had someone handed her a greeting card early in the morning, and the queen agreed to come. She just thought that this was the time when the concubines would greet the queen, and she should have been late. again.

Female envoy Cui said with a smile, "No, I learned that the concubine Shizi was coming, but the empress didn't let them speak, and they almost all left."

During the conversation, several concubines of Yingying Yanyan came out of the palace hand in hand, and they all looked very young.

Aware of Yu Wan's gaze, the female envoy Cui said with a smile, "It's Li Cairen, Wang Cairen, and He Cainu who are newly conferred."

Ever since Concubine Zhao was conceived at this age, the emperor felt that his sword was not old and his youth had returned. He spent more days in the harem than ever before. Concubine Xu Xian was skilled in her beauty. The emperor rested in her palace for two consecutive days. In a hurry, I finally got Concubine Zhao, but Concubine Zhao was pregnant and could not sleep. In order to compete with Concubine Xu Xian, the Queen chose a few young beauties.

Yu Wan didn't have much interest in the emperor's concubine, so she nodded and entered Zhaoyang Palace with envoy Cui.

The ninth princess was studying behind the green gauze cabinet, and she read it in a childish voice, which was very interesting.

The queen was sitting on the throne, and seeing Yu Wan was about to salute her, she made a silent gesture with a smile, stood up gently, walked to Yu Wan a few steps, took Yu Wan's hand, and gestured with her eyes. She came out with herself.

The two walked out of the main hall one after the other, and went around the corridor to the small garden shaded by the sun. The queen released Yu Wan's hand and smiled softly: "Xiao Jiu's child is fine, but he refuses to study. Her father personally ordered her to check her homework every three days, and tonight is the third day, so I asked her to read it carefully, so as not to make her father angry."

This is to show off her children in disguise. The Ninth Princess is a girl. It doesn't really matter if she reads well or not. The important thing is that the emperor valued her so much. If she checked her homework, she had to stay in Zhaoyang Palace for dinner. This is right Queen's Grace.

"The queen taught me well." Yu Wan said something flattering.

These words were useful, and the empress smiled even more. She suddenly thought of something, and her smile narrowed slightly: "Bengong heard that Cong'er is ill, and I didn't go to court today."

Yu Wan showed an appropriate look of worry: "Perhaps it was raining a few days ago, and there was a backlog of dampness and cold in the body, and the fever started in the middle of the night, so I sent someone to the imperial court to give him leave."

"Can it be passed on to an imperial physician?" the queen asked worriedly.

A mere cold can't beat an adult, but Yan Jiuchao is not an ordinary person, and the queen has heard about him not living past twenty-five years. She doesn't want to lose such a strong backer before her son becomes the prince, so right now Her concern for Yan Jiuchao was genuine, and if she asked the imperial palace who did not want Yan Jiuchao to do things, it was the emperor and the empress.

Yu Wan said, "I have asked the doctor, and the doctor said it's fine, just stay in bed for a few more days."

The queen was still uneasy: "It's better to let the imperial physician go and see. Imperial physician Liang is very skilled in medicine. I will ask Cong'er to take a pulse later."

Yu Wan understood the Queen's intentions. With the old Cuitou around, she was not afraid of what Taiyi Liang would reveal. As for how the old Cuitou would not be recognized by Taiyi Liang, it was not something she should worry about.

Old Cui Tou, who was cooking medicine in the Young Master's Mansion, sneezed for no reason!

It always feels like someone is plotting against him again!

"Thank you madam." Yu Wan bowed and bowed.

The queen asked Yu Wan how she was doing recently, and Yu Wan also asked about the current situation of the eldest princess. The eldest prince was pregnant for more than four months. The pregnant woman next to her is very big, and the maids all said that she was pregnant with two.

"It would be great if I could give birth to two big fat boys." The queen said with a hopeless expression.

The eldest prince is a good concubine, and Yu Wan also hopes that she will give birth to a pair of sons.

After the greetings here, the female envoy Cui also arranged the tea and snacks in the pavilion. The queen led Yu Wan over, screened the servants, and only the female envoy Cui stood by: "Tell me, you are in such a hurry today. What's wrong with this palace?"

"Don't hide it from the madam, the court lady does have something to ask."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Yu Wan looked around and made sure that she and Nv Cui were the only ones in the whole garden, so she said with confidence: "My lady once told me that someone in the Nanzhao royal family wanted Yan Jiuchao's life, I don't know if the lady is How did you find out?"

She had this doubt before, but at that time, the two of them didn't have a deep relationship, so it was inconvenient to spy on each other's cards.

The queen's brows wrinkled subconsciously, and she could see that she was somewhat resistant to this question, but she also understood Yu Wan's character and would not easily lose control.

"Why did you suddenly think of asking this? Did something happen to Cong'er?" the queen asked.

Yu Wan naturally wouldn't tell her the truth, but it wasn't because she didn't trust her, but she sailed with care, and she didn't worry about her deliberately publicizing some things, but she was afraid she would accidentally stab her out.

Yu Wan said: "It's not that something happened to the prince... It's just that the envoys of Nanzhao came in a strange way this time, and there was a problem with General Helian and the armor. The prince wondered if the Nanzhao royal family had something to do with him. He's here, and he's here for the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, he has to figure it out."

The queen nodded: "I thought about it with Ben Gong, then General Luo Shizi Helian humiliated Xiao Zhenting with his battle armor, which seemed to be disrespectful to Da Zhou, who knows if he deliberately angered Cong'er by someone's order? ?"

Yu Wan sighed: "Who said it wasn't? The prince tossed and turned over this matter, so let me ask the empress to clarify."

"There's nothing to say." The queen paused, looking at the flowers and plants aside, "It was also many years ago. It was the year that King Yan passed away. The queen mother missed her grandson and brought Cong'er to the palace. take care."

As if afraid that Yu Wan didn't understand which mother she was, she added, "Your Majesty and King Yan's biological mother."

Yu Wan knew that after the first empress was put into the cold palace, she did not regain the throne until the first emperor died.

"At that time, Marshal Xiao proposed to His Majesty to marry Princess Yan. King Yan's body was not yet cold. He asked to marry King Yan's widow at this juncture. His Majesty Longyan was furious and punished him to go back to the house and think about it. Because of this, the Queen Mother held a birthday banquet. She didn't make any big arrangements, but she didn't want to be sloppy about Cong'er's birthday, and asked the princes and ministers to bring their children into the palace, hoping to give Cong'er a lively birthday. This palace drank too much at the banquet, and went to sober up outside the palace. , I walked and walked to Taiye Pond... Ben Gong heard someone talking."

When the queen said this, her eyes stopped.

"Does it have to be today? Your Nanzhao royal family can't tolerate a child like this?"

"I can't bear to say it's not your turn next time. In short, you remember to do things well, and we will do what we promised you! I saw him coming to the banquet, and this is a good time for you to do it! "

After recalling, the queen sighed: "Bengong drank too much that night, and what else was said later, I don't remember clearly, only vaguely know that it was a woman and a man."

"Women in the harem?" Yu Wan asked.

The queen shook her head: "I didn't see her clearly, but I felt that I should belong to the harem, not a palace maid, but a master with a position."

Yes, how could the Nanzhao royal family trade with a palace maid?

"Then that man left, and Ben Gong wanted to see who she was, and she left too. Ben Gong was so hungover that he slept for three days and three nights, and only woke up to think about Taiye Lake, but Ben Gong didn't think about it. I was sure if I drank too much and came up with it out of thin air. I asked the eunuch if any child had an accident at the banquet? The eunuch said no, there were more than 20 children who came to the banquet that day. After observing for half a month, no one was in trouble, Ben Gong thought, this is really because Ben Gong has drunk too much, how can someone harm the children who are attending the banquet? It is all Ben Gong’s hallucination.”

I'm afraid it's not a hallucination, the child should be Yan Jiuchao, the woman succeeded, she gave Yan Jiuchao thyme, but the thyme was suppressed by the poison in Yan Jiuchao's body, so it never happened.

There is no need to tell the Empress, Yu Wan asked, "The Empress thought it was an illusion at first, why do you think it is real now."

The queen smiled bitterly: "Bengong has been confined in Fengqi Palace for ten years, how do you think Bengong has survived these ten years? It is said that even if Bengong is a fool, he will feel sorry for some things. ."

Yu Wan looked at the queen: "Then the owner of that voice..."

The queen recalled: "I really can't remember this palace, but the direction she left seems to be Chuxiu Palace. Only Concubine Li, Concubine Xian, Concubine Yu and Concubine Wanzhao lived in Chuxiu Palace that year. Yi, Concubine Li is already dead, if it were her, you would be disappointed. Concubine Yu, you don't have to doubt it, it's just an elm knot."

Concubine Yu was the biological mother of King Cheng, and she was the least likely to have trouble. Yu Wan also felt that she was not very suspicious.

Then only Concubine Xu Xian and Wan Zhaoyi were left.

The suspicion of these two people is even smaller. Concubine Xu Xian has never regarded Yan Jiuchao as a threat, even if she is now in trouble, Concubine Xu Xian has always wanted to pinch Yu Wan to death. In Concubine Xu Xian's view, Yan Jiuchao will be sooner or later. If you want to burp, you can't make yourself dirty.

As for Wan Zhaoyi, she is the elder sister of Fifth Master Xiao, and someone from Xiao Zhenting's side. What reason does she have to frame Yan Jiuchao?

Is it really the deceased Concubine Li?

The reason why Concubine Li framed Yan Jiuchao was—

The queen and Yu Wan thought of one thing: "Concubine Li and Mrs. Xiao were at odds, and Mrs. Xiao once humiliated her in public. It seems reasonable that she would hold a grudge to frame Cong'er."

If it was Concubine Li, Yu Wan would be too unwilling to let Yan Jiuchao be poisoned for so many years, why did she die?

"Thank you madam." The news that should be inquired had already arrived, and Yan Jiuchao was still waiting for her to go back to take care of her, Yu Wan got up and said goodbye to the queen.

The queen nodded.

"But—" the queen said suddenly.

Yu Wan turned around.

The queen thought for a while, then shook her head: "It's nothing, it should be Ben Gong who has been thinking too much. You go back to the house to take care of Cong'er. If Ben Gong thinks of anything, he will send someone to inform you in time."

Yu Wan owes her body: "Thank you, Niangniang."

The queen asked Cui female envoy to send it out of Zhaoyang Palace.

When passing near the imperial study room, Yu Wan saw a tall and mighty figure from a distance, who was it if it wasn't Xiao Zhenting?

Xiao Zhenting just came out of the imperial study.

Yu Wan was about to go up to say hello, when she saw a woman in a light blue palace dress walking towards Xiao Zhenting on another path, followed by a palace maid in pink armor.

The woman is wearing delicate makeup, she doesn't look like a girl in her early twenties, but she doesn't look old. On the contrary, she has the charm and softness of the years after the baptism.

She met Xiao Zhenting face to face.

Xiao Zhenting was stunned for a moment, then bowed his hands in a salute.

From Yu Wan's point of view, she happened to be able to see most of the woman's face, the woman's smile was like a flower, her phoenix eyes were looking forward to the flight of the gods, and the clear waves were flowing.

"That person is..." Yu Wan asked the female envoy Cui next to her.

Envoy Cui looked around and said, "That's Wan Zhaoyi."

Brother Xiao's sister, no wonder she would talk to Xiao Zhenting.

"Brother Xiao, don't be too polite." Wan Zhaoyi said gently.

"Thank you, Empress Zhaoyi." Xiao Zhenting flattened his body without looking sideways.

Wan Zhaoyi looked at him with a smile: "I said, Brother Xiao doesn't have to be so open when there's no one there."

Xiao Zhenting said earnestly: "The etiquette of the monarch and ministers cannot be abolished."

Wan Zhaoyi smiled: "How is Madam Tai in good health?"

"Mother is all right, thank Empress Zhaoyi for remembering."

"How are Master Xiao and Madam?"

"Alright."

"What about you, Brother Xiao? Are you okay?" Wan Zhaoyi's eyes were sparkling, and her eyes were burning.

"I'm fine too." Xiao Zhenting never looked at her, only staring at the one-foot-three-inch ground in front of him.

Wan Zhaoyi wanted to ask something else, but Yu Wan came over.

Yu Wan gave a calm salute, "Greetings to Empress Zhaoyi."

Wan Zhaoyi had never seen Yu Wan before, so she didn't recognize her for a while.

On the other hand, Xiao Zhenting's eyes softened instantly, and he said with a bit of doting: "Why are you here?"

Yu Wan smiled sweetly and said, "I entered the palace to greet the empress, and I just saw my father, so I came over to say hello to him."

A father called Xiao Zhenting's eyes.
