Chapter 62 Boldness
Zhuo Ruitong suddenly woke up from his dream. His heart was short and his chest was tight. He shouted several times before he rubbed his eyes in a daze and ran in. "Lord, what can I do you say?"
"Open all the windows for me. The room is too stuffy!"
"Ye!" Mei Zheng ran to the window puzzledly, but turned back even more puzzledly, "Lord, the windows are all open. I remember that I want to close the window before I go to bed, but you refuse!"
"Are they all open?" Zhuo Ruitong reached out and touched his forehead with a layer of sweat. "Is it really a dream?"
Mei Zheng also found something wrong at this time, "Lord, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"
"I seem to have had a dream, a terrible dream!" Zhuo Ruitong stood up and half leaned against the head of the bed. "Ming Zheng, where do you think Nie Kong and the others are going now?"
"How do you estimate this slave?" Mei Zheng smiled bitterly, "If it goes well, is it time to enter the boundary of Yuzi? Does the emperor's dream just now have something to do with them?
"I dreamed that I was locked in the room, but there were enemies everywhere outside. Nie Kong was fighting alone. He said to me through the door... He said to take care of me. He went first, so I woke up!"
"He went first?" Mei Zheng felt that his eyelids had jumped several times in a row. Nie Kong's words were obviously a farewell. Although it was not credible in the prince's dream, could it be Nie Kong's dream?
Mei Zheng couldn't help shivering. He forced himself not to think about the terrible idea and persuaded Zhuo Ruitong, "The dream is the opposite. The prince's dream may be a sign of their safety!"
Zhuo Ruitong was in a trance and sat in a daze with his eyes down. He didn't seem to listen to Mei Zheng's words. Mei Zheng had to continue, "It's because the prince is too anxious that he has a dream. It's better for the prince to wait for a few days instead of disturbing himself. There will always be news."
Zhuo Ruitong shook his head slowly, "Where is the news? Yuzi and Weijun are separated by Beirong, and the information is not clear at all. Even if the news is really confirmed, I'm afraid..."
Zhuo Ruitong originally wanted to say, "I'm afraid it's too late", but he thought it was not a crow's mouth curse. So he couldn't help saying anything and waved his hand, "How long will it take for dawn? Go and make me a cup of strong tea. Anyway, I can't sleep. It's better to go to the study to work."
Seeing this, although he was still sleepy, he had to wait carefully, but he saw Zhuo Ruitong turning around on the bookcase. He looked very restless and knew that King Wei must still be worried about the ominous dream.
It was until the early morning when he returned to the study. Mei Zheng's next person hurried to him, whispered a few words to him, and stuffed something to Mei Zheng. After Mei Zheng unfolded and took a look, he suddenly smiled happily and hurriedly turned the things to Zhuo Ruitong, "Congratulations, Lord, there is a letter from Mingsha Camp!"
"Oh, really?" Zhuo Ruitong put down the pen and ink, grabbed it, and couldn't wait to read it, "Great, Huanxuan finally went well!" Zhuo Ruitong's joy was beyond words.
"Yes, this is worth celebrating. I just said that such a capable and cautious person as Mrs. Ying will not go wrong," Mei Zheng said with a grin, "Lord, should be relieved now?"
Zhuo Ruitong nodded and looked at the paper again and again. "It's a pity that the road is smooth, the special training has begun, and there are no other two sentences. Isn't it still hanging my appetite?"
"Oh, my lord, what can we do with the Flying Eagle Biography? It's good to talk about the situation. When Mrs. Ying comes back, will you have a good chat?"
"That said, but what Yi Huanxuan means is that she still wants to stay for a few more days to see how the training plan is implemented. I'm afraid she won't come back so soon!" Zhuo Ruitong said with regret, "Ming Zheng, do you think Mrs. Ying is deliberately avoiding me? Why? Every time she goes out for a long journey, she always has to grab it by herself.
"Why does the prince think so? We are short of manpower, and the lady is also for the prince's good!" Mei thought for a moment and said, "Nothing can be rushed. The Lord's heart slaves all understand that Mrs. Ying is such a smart person. She really chooses to avoid it, but because she is determined for a moment, she wants to make more time for herself and the Lord, right?"
Zhuo Ruitong smiled, with a little sourness in his smile. "I also guessed that it was. In fact, it doesn't matter. I never thought that I could get a positive answer, or I did think about it, but I never thought it would come true. People often say that if you don't get it, there is no loss, but I have some different views. Between gains and losses. Except for the person concerned, who understands the truth? Some things seem to have never been obtained, but in fact, they have planted cause and effect for a long time, and some have been lost. Maybe they are only temporary, and they will get more in the future?
"Oh, I don't have much knowledge. I don't seem to understand the Lord's words, but I think it's good as long as the Lord thinks about it. Anyway, isn't Mrs. Ying on our side now?"
"You really lack some knowledge!" Zhuo Ruitong waved his hand ironily and said, "Ok, I have nothing to do here. You take time today to buy some cakes for the empress dowager and ask about the news in the south, huh?"
"Well, Lord, it's time for me to go to the pastry shop today. Don't worry, I must go early and come back early!" Mei Zheng was about to retreat, but he remembered again and said, "Lord, don't forget to reply to the letter. I think Mrs. Ying will be willing to listen to the Lord's opinion."
"Well, I wrote it down!" Zhuo Ruitong and others scrambled to go out and put the note on the table, but took out a silk package from his arms and opened it. It was the white jade hairpin left by Huanying when he was about to leave. Zhuo Ruitong took out the jade hairpin and looked at it carefully in his hand. The jade hairpin was still the former jade hairpin, but it should have been on its real owner's head. "Jade hairpin Yupin, can you tell me why your master doesn't want you again?
Mei Zheng was responsible for cleaning the goblet palace. He saw that the jade hairpin was not put in the jewelry box, but left directly on the dressing table. He also saw that Mrs. Ying usually wore it, so he suspected that Mrs. Ying fell down in a hurry when she left. Naturally, he reported this matter to the king of Wei. The king of Wei was motionless on the surface and asked Mei Zheng to take the jade hairpin. It will be temporarily kept on behalf of Mrs. Ying.
In my heart, Zhuo Ruitong is inevitably a little uneasy. Huanying's thoughts are always elusive. When she is happy, her liveliness and playfulness will make Zhuo Ruitong have some kind of illusion, thinking that Huanying is no longer estranged from him. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Will it be Huanying's refusal to him if he leaves a jade hairpin? Because you can't open your mouth, take such a method to imply?
The white jade is silent and shiny. If only a person's heart can be like this white jade. At the beginning, although indifferent, it will be warm and beautiful when holding it.
Five days later, Zhuo Ruitong received an online report from Zhou Yanting. The person that Zuo Xian Wang Ye Suhe met in the capital turned out to be Lou Xun! Zhou Yanting asked for instructions at the same time. Ye Suhe has returned and will cross Wei County and sneak back to Beirong on the same day. What should they do?
Zhuo Ruitong knows that the recent clues seem to be concentrated on Lou Xun's head, but does he come forward for others, or does he want to plot to usurp? Take down Ye Suhe and watch it secretly!" Zhuo Ruitong gave a decisive order.
No matter to what extent Ye Suhe's negotiations with Lou Xun have reached and what the result is, he can't let Ye Suhe return to Beirong. The relationship between Ye Suhe and Fu Li, the king of Beirong, is extraordinary. The information he brings to Fu Li, the king of Bei Rong, will certainly affect the war between the two countries. Therefore, whether it is Ye Suhe's identity or his secret, take His advantages are more than disadvantages than letting him go.
In addition to one point, Ye Suhe's disappearance is likely to lead to a reckless war. The war is not the key, but time. "Remember, let Zhou Yanting act quickly and keep it secret!" Zhuo Ruitong added another sentence.
Zhen Mei thought about it and decided to act according to the plan. She found a well-friendly imperial doctor and asked the woman in detail about the various characteristics of her pregnancy. Then she estimated it according to time. She put an extra thin pad between her belt and used a large amount of money to tell the eunuch that, and then went to the pearl. Que Gong visited the Empress Dowager Li.
As soon as Jiao Lan saw Zhen Mei's thick waist, she understood everything. She pulled Zhen Mei to no one's place and said that the initial pregnancy would not be so obvious. Naturally, she helped Zhen Mei sort it out, and then went into the palace to inform the Empress Dowager Li. The Empress Dowager Li originally wanted to say anything. When she heard that Zhen Mei had something special, she reluctantly agreed to enter. Hajj.
The Empress Dowager Li does not dislike Zhen Mei at this time, but she can help Zhen Mei support her, but she can't help Zhen Mei please the emperor. In terms of the relationship between men and women, there are always some inexplicable subtleties. No matter how skillful she is, she may not be able to win the son who drilled the horns. What's more, their mother-child relationship has reached the freezing point, and she herself is helpless. Well, how can you help Zhen Mei? Since you can't help, it's better not to see him, so as to avoid a headache.
"Oh? When did it happen? After listening to Zhen Mei's explanation, the Empress Dowager Li's heart was moved, but Zhen Mei's secret birth was so sudden that she had to suspect that decades of court life had practiced her shrewd worldly wisdom. Any little trick was not enough to play tricks in front of her, so although her heart jumped, she asked plainly.
"I just found out that my concubine was confused. I always thought it was not feeling well, and I didn't care too much. It was not until yesterday that I vomited, and I thought I had eaten my stomach, so I asked the imperial doctor to diagnose my pulse, and then I knew that it was..."
"Well, you are usually confused. You don't know such a big thing!" Empress Dowager Li gently scolded, "Which doctor's pulse? How old is it?"
Zhen Mei said the name of the imperial doctor and said with some embarrassment, "It's only been a month, and it's still young!"
The emperor and Zhen Mei haven't been in the same room for a month. Why is it such a coincidence? Empress Dowager Li's lips were upturned and a smile appeared. She didn't believe in coincidences very much. Things that were too coincidental were often scams. Did you find out whether it was a man or a woman?
"It's a dragon!" Zhen Mei replied.
"Okay, my Zhuo family is the last!" The Empress Dowager Li sighed and said, "But Meier, the imperial doctors in the palace are not good or bad, and their medical skills are really poor. The matter of your pregnancy with Long Si is much more important than the illness of the mourning family. You can't be careless. Minger, let Jiaolan call a few more imperial doctors to Yaohua Hall to diagnose your pulse. What should we make up for? What to eat and what to pay attention to, it's all careless!" Although the Empress Dowager Li smiled, there was no smile in her eyes. Not only did she, but the scrutiny gaze also made Zhen Mei's back cold.
"No, no, in fact, my concubine is in good health. The doctor said that as long as my concubine pays more attention to rest and don't do dangerous things!" Zhen Meiqiang calmed down.
"So you're confused!" Empress Dowager Li advised softly, "Is it easy to be pregnant in October? What's more, you are still pregnant with Long Si. If you don't care, your family is still thinking about having a grandson. Listen to the words of the family, Jiaolan, don't forget, you must call more doctors tomorrow!"
"Ouch, remember Jiaolan, please don't worry, Empress Dowager!"
"Well, does the emperor know, Mei'er?"
"Near, I haven't had time to tell the emperor. The emperor has been living in the Anzhi Palace, and I'm afraid that the past will be annoying!"
"Silly boy, you are the queen. Whoever dares to hate your family will dig out his eyes!" The Empress Dowager Li patted Zhen Mei's hand, turned her head, and said to Jiaolan, "In a moment, you can go to the Lanzhi Palace and tell the emperor about this news, and say that he must stay in the Yaohua Hall during the waiting period of the queen's delivery!"
Pepper orchid should come down again.
When sending Zhen Mei away, Jiaolan turned back to the Pearl Palace, she found that the Empress Dowager Li was staring at her fiercely, "Dead girl, why don't you kneel down to the mourning family!"
Jiaolan said in panic, "Did the maidservant do something wrong? Why are you so generous?"
"Dead girl, tell me, you and Zhen Mei colluded to deceive the mourning family. What on earth do you want to do!"
"No, no, I don't have a maidservant. The empress dowager is wronged!"
"Wronged?" Empress Dowager Li picked up the crutches beside her and hit Jiaolan's waist and back. "Do you think my family is confused? Although Ai's family is seriously ill, his mind is clear. Do you think Ai's family didn't see it? When Ai's family tested Zhen Mei, she looked straight at you, not to judge what she should do from your expression?
"Ah!" The beaten Jiaolan couldn't eat the pain and screamed, "The Empress Dowager! The Empress Dowager, you are clear. The maidservant really didn't collude with Empress Zhen. Why does the Empress Zhen always look at the maidservant? The maidservant doesn't know. The maidservant only knows that the emperor now has a queen, and will transfer the court to attack you on the Empress Dowager, because as long as the future country is still surnamed Zhuo, they will not care too much about the character Zhuo. Who the hell is behind?
The Empress Dowager Li's face has changed. At this point, she has been able to guess whether it is true or false. "Zhen Mei is confused, are you also confused? If such a big thing spread out, where can you put my Li's face? Even if you can think of a way to mix fish eyes and pearls in the future, how can you have the face to see the former emperor after the Ai family goes down? Do you want the Ai family to tell the former emperor that the Ai family passed on your country to an unreliable foreign surname!"
"Why is it a foreign surname? This child must be surnamed Zhuo." Jiaolan suppressed the pain and said, "And if you just use him to calm down all kinds of rumors inside and outside the palace, then after giving us the opportunity, he can disappear at any time. What's more, the emperor's position is preserved, and he may really have a queen in the future. You didn't say that the Empress Dowager, now In the current situation, after day by day, I think of it as a slave, but looking at the Empress Dowager, you are worried day by day, and the maidservant really can't bear it!"
"What a clever mouth!" Empress Dowager Li knocked on the floor with a crutch and said, "You are getting bolder and bolder!" Unexpectedly, he didn't discuss with the mourning family. He dared to teach Zhen Mei to deceive the top and the bottom without authorization. If something goes wrong, something will definitely happen!"
"The Empress Dowager, if you don't do anything, big things will still happen. It's better to do one by one. What if it works? What's more, Queen Zhen has been bored recently. She is not the opponent of cool beauty at all!"
"That's all!" The Empress Dowager Li looked miserable and said, "My family finally understands why it is a disaster. In our palace, there is no time for people to calm down except to toss around!" Now, Zhen Mei has passed the customs here in Ai's house, and it must have spread everywhere. It's difficult to stop her again. The last thing Ai's family can do for her is to help her remedy it!"
"Empress dowager, please make it clear!" Jiaolan was regretful at this time. Why did she have a hot mind for a while and come up with such a bad idea for Zhen Mei? Zhen Mei actually adopted it desperately. The women in the palace really dared to lose to death in order to save themselves.
"Go to the emperor and say what you should say, and tomorrow's imperial doctor will also do it, but don't tell them the truth about Zhen Mei. Just say that Zhen Mei has been in a physical condition recently. Let them diagnose Zhen Mei. During the diagnosis, you should avoid the emperor. After the diagnosis, gather the imperial doctors in a room and ask them about their diagnosis. Moreover, of course, this is just pretending to show to outsiders. Then, you send some money to these imperial doctors and send them out of the palace to demobilize. As for the reason, you can make it yourself. Anyway, just let them go willingly." Empress Dowager Li said weakly, "Zhen Mei will be grateful for what you have done for her. Yes, but don't tell her. My family already knows the truth.
"My maidservant, I wrote it down!" Jiaolan said with tears, "Empress dowager, did the maidservant really do something wrong?"
The Empress Dowager Li was silent and fell into her own silence.
When Shuang'er heard the news, Zhen Mei was still one step faster than her, but like the Empress Dowager Li, she did not believe that Zhen Mei was really pregnant with Long Si. After the emperor's marriage, she had been forced to live in the Yaohua Hall by the Empress Dowager Li. Why didn't she see anything earlier? However, it happened at this time. Question mark Zhen Mei obviously came for her, because Jiaolan's words were very clear, "Please take care of the bones and blood. During the period when the queen is waiting for delivery, I hope the emperor can live back in the Yaohua Hall to settle the queen's heart."
The expression on Zhuo Yuancan's face showed that he was not happy, or he was not happy at all. Although he had an argument with Shuang when he was a child, he still lived quite comfortably in the Anzhi Palace. Yaohua Hall, if he hadn't been forced by his mother, he would never have taken a step.
