Chapter 74: Crown Princess Zhang

Shangguan Wanyin said disapprovingly, "So what? Dad, you are a general with military power, and even the prince is eager to get you over. What can he do if he knows it? Can I still turn against you?"

General Shangguan felt speechless about his daughter's youngness. After a while, he muttered, "This is a childish saying. It is said that once the emperor is a courtier, the emperor will still value our Shangguan family, which may not mean that after His Royal Highness ascending the throne, he will still value our Shangguan family..."

"Dad, why don't you just support Ding Wang? OK!"

As soon as Shangguan Wanyin's words came out, the old general Shangguan quickly stretched out his hand to cover her mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It's a great sin to let people hear it later."

Shangguan Wanyin looked fearless. She definitely said, "Dad, I'm not talking nonsense. I'm serious. My daughter likes Brother Chen and hopes that he can be the crown prince and become the emperor in the future. At that time, our Shangguan family will be a national relative. At that time, what else do you have to worry about?

"What do you know as a child? Who is the prince is related to the foundation of the country. This is not something you can joke about.

Shangguan Wanyin spent a long time in front of her father, and finally saw that she couldn't grind anything, so she pouted her mouth and left with an unhappy face.

"General, look at Wan'er like this, but what did you say to her just now that she didn't like?"

Seeing Xiao Luo coming in with tea and being rushed out by anger, the old general Shangguan shook his head uneasily and said, "Wan'er is ignorant. As you know, you don't have to take the child's words seriously."

"Yes, my concubine only treats Wan'er as her own daughter, but she thinks of her sister's entrustment before her death, and she will feel uneasy when she is unhappy. However, General, Ruo Wan'er insisted on marrying His Royal Highness Ding Wang, and this concubine felt that it was a good match. After all, His Royal Highness Dingwang is young and heroic, born to the queen, and Wan'er is also a talented man and woman, which complements each other. What do you say?"

Seeing that his wife also said so, General Shangguan smiled bitterly and said, "How can I not know these truths? It's just that the prince's wings are abundant, and the biggest threat to his throne is the king. At this time, let's get into the royal family. What good fruit do you think we can have?

Little Luo said, "But Wan'er has a big idea since she was a child. Since she likes Ding Wang, if we don't agree, won't she make trouble?"

"That can't be up to her! It's about the life and death of our Shangguan family, and we can't tolerate her nonsense!"

After saying that, the old general ordered his wife to call his two sons to discuss the matter. It seems that he is going to deal with many things before Ding Wang Junyuchen returns to Beijing.

Little Roche came out from here and returned to his room. After thinking for a long time, I called my trusted maid and gave her a secret letter that I had just written, telling her, "Go and give such a thing to the crown princess Zhang and tell her..."

In the East Palace, the crown princess Zhang received a secret letter from Xiao Luo. After reading it, she sneered and said, "I didn't see that this Shangguan family tradition is really open. Shangguan Wanyin used to look honest, but now she is older and knows to do something like this.

The people around Zhang said, "Mother, are you worried that General Shangguan will secretly throw himself to the side of King Ding because of his daughter?"

Zhang nodded and said, "Everyone knows that the old general Shangguan overs women over men. Several sons are good at fighting, but they are not seen by him. However, this daughter is not only arrogant but also very capricious, but he is obedient and almost wants to praise this girl to the sky. Therefore, if Shangguan Wanyin really has this idea, we have to guard against it.

"What are you going to do, master? Shangguan's family holds heavy troops. If the old general Shangguan really surrenders to Ding Wang, then..."

"Well, don't worry, I won't give him this opportunity."

After saying that, Zhang ordered, "Go and send someone to inform Your Highness, and say that after returning to Beijing, you must leave him in the palace and not be allowed to see anyone in private. As for the Shangguan family, I have my own palace to clean it up.

"Yes, Madam."

In Fengyi Palace, Jun Yuchen was kneeling in front of Queen Nalan's bed and begged bitterly, "Mother, son, I don't want you to save your son's life in this way. You didn't hesitate to hurt your body for your son. How can I feel sorry for this?

Queen Nalan opened her eyes and said with some difficulty, "Silly child, the mother is your only son. She is willing to do anything for you."

"But you can't hurt yourself like this!"

"It's nothing. Don't worry, the mother has her own proportion of medicine and won't really hurt herself."

Having said that, Queen Nalan coughed violently after saying that. Looking at Jun Yuchen's eyes, I felt bursts of heartache.

"Master, there is something I don't understand. Haven't you always supported His Royal Highness to inherit the throne before? Why did you know that the queen was playing tricks in it this time, or ordered His Royal Highness to recall the palace? Aren't you afraid that the queen will take the opportunity to do something from it?

In the purple bamboo courtyard, the empress dowager was dressed in coarse cloth and drinking tea on the futon in the shade of the tree. Hearing Rong Jia's question, she smiled and said, "The mourning family still supports His Royal Highness's accession to the throne, but there is something wrong with the mourning family, so she obeyed the queen's wishes and sent the news that the king to return to the palace. It's good to open. After all, there are some things that can't be serious if they are not seen with your own eyes.

"Are you talking about the cause of the emperor's illness this time?"

The Empress Dowager did not say anything about Rong Jia's speculation. She only pondered for a moment before saying, "Of course, the mourning family misses Chen'er, which is also the most important one of them. If you can settle his marriage as soon as possible, there will be one big event in the heart of the family.

Rong Jia then smiled and joked, "Oh, I understand. It turns out that you want to hug your great-grandson earlier. Ha ha, but Miss Song is indeed a beautiful person. If you match this pair of masters, you will be really talented and beautiful, and your merits are immeasurable.

The Empress Dowager smiled indifferently and said, "It's good for this child's family to mourn, but I don't know what the queen's idea is to keep her and Chen'er in the palace this time? In addition, we all know that the queen's nature is not intended to match Chen'er and Zichu, but also very courteous to Zichu, which must be a little strange.

Rong Jia also nodded and said, "Indeed, this is a little strange. Why don't you let our people inquire about it again?"

"No, I know the Queen's mourning family very well. If she wants to not let others know about things, even if our people ask carefully, I'm afraid there will be no result. In a word, after the news of Chen'er's return to the palace was made public, the mourning family promoted the marriage first. In this way, killing the queen was caught off guard. At that time, no matter how conspirated she was, it would be useless.

In Fengyi Palace, Zichu came back from Zichen Hall. As soon as he took off the makeup of the purple cuckoo, he saw Jun Yuchen walking back from the outside.

Seeing a decadent and sad look on his face, she looked curious and asked, "What's wrong with you? Such a big sun came back from the outside, but did you get heatstroke?

"No, I just went to see the Queen. I was a little sad to see that she was very ill.

Zichu was a little puzzled when he heard this and asked, "You said this as if you were familiar with the queen. I advise you not to use your mind indiscriminately. They are the queen, but we can't cling to it.

"Where do you want to go? The queen is actually..."

Jun Yuchen wanted to tell his true identity and the relationship between the queen and him, but at this time, he heard someone outside shouting, "Song Zichu, come out!"

Zichu heard the sound very familiarly. When he thought about it, it was actually Shangguan Wanxuan!

Jun Yuchen's face suddenly changed. He looked at Zichu hesitantly and said timidly, "It's amazing. This girl is here again. Well, you help me deal with it first, and I won't go out!"

After saying that, Jun Yuchen actually ran behind the screen with his head in his arms and hid. Seeing this, Zichu could only roll his eyes at him weakly. Then he opened the door and came out majestically. He crossed his hands and said, "Which dog barks outside? It's so noisy!"

When Shangguan Wan saw Zichu coming out, he was particularly jealous when he met him. He immediately rushed over and said angrily, "Do you dare to curse? You - you are so bold!"

Zichu glanced at her and said that she had just been stung by the wasp. Did she forget the scar so quickly? Then Yingying replied with a smile, "Who said I cursed? I'm obviously scolding dogs! Miss Shangguan, you are not a dog. Why are you in such a hurry to admit it?

Hearing this, several maids standing aside couldn't help laughing softly. Shangguan Wanyan has never suffered such a loss, and immediately said, "How dare you be presumptuous in the queen's palace? Who gave you such courage?"

"Wait a minute, who said I was presumptuous in the queen's palace? I only brought a maid, and at most it can only be regarded as a pair.

Shangguan Wan couldn't fight with Zichu and said angrily, "You--Hmm, I won't talk to you about this first. Tell me, what kind of medicine did you give the Queen? Why did she just tell me that she treats you as a daughter now?

Shangguan Wanyin has been secretly in love with Jun Yuchen for a long time and has treated Queen Nalan as a future mother-in-law. So last time, Queen Nalan told her that Jun Yuchen did not return to the palace, and she believed that she had misread it.

But today, when she rushed into the palace, she was greatly praised by Queen Nalan for Song Zichu's understanding and cleverness in front of everyone, and the alarm bell in her heart became loud.
