Chapter 194: The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop
Jun Yuchen looked at the front fixedly and shook his head and said, "The doctor just diagnosed that the princess is pregnant, but the fetal gas is unstable, which may be related to the poison in Seagull Island before. Originally, I should have stayed with her at this time and took good care of their mother and son. However, according to my father's secret decree, I can't fulfill my duties and obligations as a husband.
Jiang Jiantao was happy at first when he heard this. After all, he was the first child of his master, and he was pregnant with his beloved woman. Then he frowned and said, "It turns out that the prince is worried about this layer, and so. My mother used to always tell me that it was because my father didn't take good care of her when she was pregnant that made my two sisters very weak. However, at present, when we are here, the prince has left for a period of time, and the princess also has someone to take good care of. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry so much.
Jun Yuchen did not show his eyebrows when he heard the words. He shook his head, sighed and said, "My worry is more than that. Although we are now far away from the emperor, Jun Yusulf may be out of his reach. However, what disturbs me most is that Junyu has never said anything about the departure of Zichu with him since he ascended the throne. I know his character, and he shouldn't have let go so easily. Unless... He already has the way and determination to win, otherwise, he will fight with me to the end.
Jiang Jiantao said, "Or is it because the emperor has given in to him on other matters? After all, since ancient times, the country and beauty can't have both. Now that the emperor has won the throne as he wishes, will he not even let the princess go?
Jun Yuchen looked at Jiang Jiantao and said with a wry smile, "My brother, I know very well. He won't let go so easily, especially... I can feel that he is also sincere to Zichu. So, I'm really worried about how long can this paradise last?
Jiang Jiantao was also silent when he heard the words. He understood Jun Yuchen's mood at this time, but he had no words to comfort him except loyalty.
After saying this, Jun Yuchen stopped saying anything. He fixedly looked at the endless sea of grass in front of him. As the evening wind fluctuated like waves, small wild flowers were scattered, and the color was very light and sparse and bright, which reflected the vastness of the blue sea.
Behind him, the two horses nibbled at the grass leisurely. The owner of the horse was facing the sunset, and the two sat side by side on the grass.
Jiang Jiantao bit a long grass in his mouth and put his hands behind his head to think about things. Jun Yuchen turned pages of writing paper. The strong and powerful handwriting on it was very neat, and the bamboo paper was dyed golden yellow by the glow.
"What did the Empress Dowager say?" Jiang Jiantao couldn't help asking when he saw Jun Yuchen frowned again.
Jun Yuchen handed over the last page of the letter and pointed to the last few lines, "... The noble concubine Shangguan Wanxuan has been diagnosed as pregnant by the imperial doctor for more than two months. Everything is fine, don't miss it! Another important thing to remember is that the imperial edict will be sent to Bingzhou in the near future, which is to call you back to the court. Please discuss all kinds of matters with your staff and others as soon as possible. ..."
At the bottom of the letter are some trivial concerns between mother and son, which are nothing more than Queen Nalan's thoughts about her son and resentment that her son is far away from her.
Jiang Jiantao was inconvenient to look at it carefully, so he folded the letter paper and handed it back. "It turns out that Shangguan Wanqi is pregnant, so it may not be that the emperor will be distracted by this."
"Maybe, but the emperor didn't like her in the first place. Now that she has children, he may not be able to mend the gap between the two."
Jun Yuchen sat up straight in the wind, took the letter back in his arms, took out a knife and engraved it on the chicken blood pendant, and was a little silent.
Jiang Jiantao was very curious when he saw the situation and smiled, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"Well, I'll carve a small thing and give it to Zichu." Jun Yuchen said, blew the crumbs on it, and handed over the chicken blood pendant. Jiang Jiantao took a look and saw that his knife skill was not exquisite. It was indeed neat and neat, with a word engraved in the middle - the beginning.
"The prince is good at craft. If you want to come, the princess will definitely be happy to see you later..."
Jun Yuchen only answered carefully when he heard the words. His eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything. He only took the chicken blood pendant back and put it back in his sleeve.
Looking at it, I saw that the twilight in the distance was quietly increasing layer by layer, and the glow gradually faded. In the distance, the green smoke curled, the mother returned, and the farmer in the field was packing up and went home to eat. The breeze rubbed the leaves and made a "rustling" sound. The birds in the forest chirped, and many sounds mixed together, creating a strange tranquility.
"Jian Tao, if I go this time, it will be two months faster, and if it is slow--" Jun Yuchen frowned and quickly estimated the general situation. "If it is slow, it will be half a year. In short, I will come back as soon as possible. Nowadays, everything in the country is restless. Be careful about everything and don't leave the mountain city alone. Also----please be sure to protect the princess well. I entrust her to you, and you must--" The words come to your mouth but swallow it back. It's just that such a decision is already very difficult for you. Why tell Jiang Jiantao about your unspeakable thoughts?
"Don't worry, I know. If you entrust the princess to me, even if I am shredded, I will definitely protect the princess and the little prince. Jiang Jiantao said and nodded resolutely. Jun Yuchen looked at him and smiled reluctantly, and then turned his eyes away, with unabated sadness in his eyes.
"Oh, it's getting dark. It's not a short time since we came out. We'd better go back early, so as not to worry about Zichu.
Jun Yuchen said and turned forward. The last glow in the distance was hidden, the bright moon was shining, and the faint scattered small white spots were faintly revealed, and gradually became bright and bright.
Under the dark brown sky, the two held their own reins, walking slowly, and the long road seemed to be endless. A little far away, gradually disappearing into the blue and dark night.
In the Yongqing Palace, the maids slowly walked into the palace door with light veils. When I opened the door, I saw Shangguan Wanying standing in front of the window and didn't know what she was thinking. Her back looked a little bleak, so she went forward and saluted and said, "Your Majesty issued a decree that there were state affairs to deal with tonight, so I won't come for dinner. In addition, I also asked the imperial dining room to prepare some of your favorite dishes for you, which will be delivered in a moment.
"I know, you go down!"
Shangguan Wan sneered at the corners of her mouth. She knew in her heart that Jun Yusulun had not planned to come over. The so-called meal before was just a high-sounding word. And I never intended that he would really come here.
But what she cares about is her father's situation in southern Xinjiang now. I heard that the war was fierce, but I don't know what happened to my father and two brothers now?
Shangguan Wan sighed and looked up at the new gauze window of Fuwenge. In early autumn, there were sporadic petals falling on the top of the flower trees in the yard. It seems that there is an endless rain of petals falling, which is particularly beautiful in the golden sunshine, but it is just a fleeting moment and disappearing in a blink of an eye.
Here, in the Zichen Hall, Jun Yusul is frowning and meditating.
"Is Shangguan Chongde dead? When did it happen? Is the news credible? When the new emperor Yushuang repeated this sentence softly, the tea in her hand did not ripple. She lowered her head and said to herself, "Your Majesty, the news is a secret letter sent in the night. Thinking about it, Shangguan Yuanji is also in grief now. It is said that Shangguan Chongde led the army to break through, but there has been no news from last night to now. Emperor, it seems that it is necessary to appease Shangguan.
"Well, I passed on my will to make Shangguan Chongde a second-class loyal uncle, and I was buried behind him according to the specifications of a first-class official. When the coffin returned to the court, the officials in the court would be ordered by me to go to hang the sacrifice. In addition,----"
After Qiyuan Emperor Yushusu finished speaking, he suddenly felt empty in his heart and a little unsuspated. Shangguan Yuanji has two sons, and the eldest son is Shangguan Chongde. This time, Shangguan Chongde died in battle. Not only will the whole Shangguan family be sad about this, but I'm afraid it will also affect the morale of the soldiers in southern Xinjiang who are fighting.
The biggest headache for him is that although Shangguan Chongde is married, he has no children under his knees to attack the officials. What's the use of posthumous titles of these false officials, so he can only sigh leisurely: "That's all, that's all. I will send an order to Yongqing Palace, and I will go to see the noble concubine in a moment.
In Yongqing Palace, it happened that Xiao Luo came into the palace to meet Shangguan Wanyin. The mother and daughter retreated from outsiders, and only two people in the bedroom talked privately.
"Mother, why can't you listen to it?"
"Ha, Luo Liuyan, you are really capable. So far, I think you still feel that you are very good at it, right?
In the face of the high posture and expression pretended by his stepdaughter, Xiao Luo was anxious and angry. He could only show it clearly and had to continue to be patient with his kind words.
What made her hate most was that she looked at the daughter left by her eldest sister, and her eyebrows looked like when she was young. However, after the previous great changes, now Shangguan Wanyin no longer has the impulsive and wayward shortcomings of the past, but the look in her eyes gradually took the traces of her father and was calm. And indifferent, he said with hatred, "The noble concubine is indeed grown up now. She will not only know how to win over the emperor's thoughts, but also learn to teach your stepmother a lesson all day long. You said that you have become a noble concubine now. If you don't learn how to help your mother's family and win glory for the family, do you want her Zhang's family to be dominant? If so, are you worthy of the Shangguan clan who raised you?
"These words are not your turn to teach me a lesson!" Shangguan Wanyin said with grievance, biting his lip and replied, "Now you only care about your own will. Why don't you think about who the emperor pretends in his heart? It's Song Zichu's fox spirit! Do you think my father and I don't know? Relying on me as a noble concubine now, you are swaggering around outside, and you are always called the wife of any country. In this way, you can't get any benefits and make others angry. If you really work with Zhang's people, will we still have a good life in the future?
