Chapter 49 Sudden Incident
When Shaohua secretly returned to the room, Wanhua still slept unconsciously. She crept off her shoes and climbed into bed. Suddenly, she thought of the reason why she ran out. Thinking about the thrilling side just now, Shaohua sighed helplessly. Whether it was Jinhua or Yan Sui, she couldn't help.
Thinking of tonight's adventure, I was panicked and happy. I couldn't help raising the corners of my mouth, pinched the sachet in my hand, and felt it until dawn.
When she woke up, Chu He told Wanhua that she had already got up and cleaned up and went out. Shaohua hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, "What happened this morning?"
"What's the matter?" Chu He was confused and thought, "Oh, I heard that the group of guests left early yesterday, so the second young master asked the ladies to eat together in the middle hall."
"Have they left?" Shaohua was stunned and wanted to sneak out to see each other again today.
Chuhe helped Shaohua comb his hair and went to make the bed. "I heard from Ah Fu that someone came early in the morning, and it seemed that he came to find those people yesterday in a hurry." Chu He shook the quilt and found that ** had dropped a purse. He picked it up and asked Shaohua, "Five Lady, is this purse the Third Lady?"
"This is not... he took it wrong." Shaohua was about to say that this was not the sachet I lost before, but he turned his head and looked like a man's gold thread embroidered Pisces sapphire blue purse. Thinking that it must have been the wrong one last night in a hurry, Shaohua grabbed it and said, "I, I'm going to ask the third sister." This must not be known, otherwise Ling must break her leg.
One changed two, Shaohua looked at the purse in his hand with a smile, and suddenly felt that his sachet was really valuable. He changed two in a row, and it was still carried by him. If you return the purse like this, it's really a little reluctant.
"Five sister, what's so happy, but what a good dream?" Shaohua met Jinhua and Yan Sui as soon as he went out.
looking at both of them, they were both refreshed and smiling. I really couldn't guess who escaped in the dark last night. Isn't she dazzled? Shaohua quickly rejected this idea. She may be dazzle once, but she can't be dazzle so many times. She was still seen downstairs after chasing it out. Unless the figure did not escape, but slipped in at the beginning.
"Nothing. I dreamed that a thief sneaked in last night, but it made me run away." Shaohua replied with a smile.
Yan Sui heard the words and giggled, "The fifth sister really likes to joke. How can there be thieves coming in the place where my wife lives? Even if there are, there are second brothers and fourth brothers in this garden. How can you let your little wife come out to catch the thief?"
Shaohua nodded something, "So I dreamed, but the dream was real. I still remember how she escaped." As she said, she looked at their faces.
Yan Sui shook her head, walked over and took her arm and said, "It's time to wake up. I ran to catch the thief in my dream. I can't be hungry."
Seeing that the two were normal, Shaohua had to hide his doubts and follow them out.
The three brothers sat down early. Si Yan looked sleepy and obviously had just been dragged out of the quilt. Yichen's face was still haggard. Compared with drinking, he was much better than Si Yan, but his body had not yet recovered, so he soon let Li Sinian shout down.
Li Sinian sat quietly. After the girls came in to say good-bye, they were asked to be served. As soon as the dishes were complete, people retreated and smelled the fragrance. Everyone was hungry and didn't pay attention to the wheres of the others in the middle hall.
A bowl of wild mushroom pheasant porridge, smooth and tender chicken, with fresh mountain fungus, and a pinch of fine pepper, which is both appetizing and warms the body. Si Yan can't wait to add a second bowl, and the others are also empty. Shaohua was attracted by the five-color miscellaneous grain cake, with two pieces in a row. The sweet and glutinous taste was irresistible.
"After eating, everyone went back to clean up and set off home after lunch." When everyone ate seven or eight times, Li Sinian whispered.
"So fast?" Si Yan immediately hit the spirit and saw Li Sinian's inquiring eyes and explained, "Didn't we just come the day before yesterday? Manager Zhong also said he would take us up the mountain." He looked at Yan Sui, and both of them lowered their heads silently.
"Yesterday, you almost got into trouble. Do you still want to go out and make trouble?" Li Sinian snorted coldly, and the hall was silent.
Although Li Si is only a few years older, he is already in the hearts of a group of young teenagers. Si Yan moved his mouth and wanted to say that yesterday was an accident, and they didn't do anything. It's just that Shaohua spoke too loudly and was heard by others and ridiculed. But looking at Li Sinian's expressionless face, he swallowed and dared not refute.
glanced at the crowd and saw that they did not object. Li Sinian nodded and said, "It's not because of you that I went back in such a hurry. The palace urgently reported that the emperor was critically ill and was summoning the imperial doctor to enter the palace. Nowadays, people in Beijing are panicked and don't know what's going. I'm afraid that if something unexpected happens, it will be more inconvenient for us to rush back. Li Sinian told the people the situation, and even Wanhua was shocked. She thought that the reason why Li Sinian agreed to her request to go home so quickly was that she didn't expect it to be so critical.
"A sudden emergency?" Shaohua was confused. He clearly remembered that not long ago, Mother Rong was still sighing that the emperor had not been old for so many years.
Li Sinian nodded and affirmed Shaohua's words. For a moment, everyone whispered.
"Quiet down and listen to me." Li Sinian said seriously, "This matter has not spread. I also heard the people from Beijing report in the morning, so you all keep your mouth shut and don't worry. After going back, you are not allowed to say who you met or said anything in Yan, especially Silang.
"What's wrong with me?" Si Yan was named and a little innocent.
"You have made a lot of friends in Beijing, both good and bad. Don't walk around if you don't have it recently. Don't forget that you will have spring next year." Speaking of spring, Li Sinian's voice lowered. In case something really happens in the palace, next year's spring will be delayed.
All of them were panicked by Li Sinian's harsh tone and were so nervous that they dared not breathe loudly.
"Second brother, since we don't know anything about the palace yet, why can't we wait until the matter is settled before going back?" They are not Hongyi. Strictly speaking, there is no official or title. Even if the emperor dies, they don't have to rush into the palace.
"If something really happens, the palace gate will be closed at that time, and it will be difficult to enter." Seeing that they were no longer in the heart to eat, Li Sinian said, "If it's okay, go back separately after eating. Pack up your things and don't fall behind." Shortly after, someone came to knock on the door in a hurry. Without waiting for the doorkeeper's notice, he broke in straight in. The gatekeeper was so scared that he hurried to find Li Sinian.
Fortunately, Li Sinian always slept lightly. When he heard ** outside the house, he immediately came out. Unexpectedly, Yan Kaizhi had run out ahead of him. It seemed that Li Sinian also had some determination in his mind about his dress and panicked look on his face, as well as his respectful attitude towards Yan Kaizhi. After a while, Hongyi came out of the room and didn't look like a drunken person last night.
"The emperor is critically ill. Kaizhi and I will take the first step, and the rest will be arranged by you." Li Sinian didn't expect that Hongyi would entrust him. He was a little flattered and immediately took the order. Soon after sending them out, Song Yu also woke up. Thinking of Hongyi's words, Li Sinian asked Wei Yu and Song Yu to rush back with other bodyguards.
The crown prince has not been decided, and the emperor is critically ill. Nothing is more thrilling than this. The court was headed by two older princes and divided into two factions. He often set up a crown prince to report to the emperor on the grounds of settification of the people's hearts, but the emperor refused to give orders. If there is no imperial edict, once the emperor returns to heaven, the world will be in chaos.
The eldest son of the emperor was made by the Empress Duanming, and it is understandable to establish the eldest son. However, the matter of the uncle in those years inevitably made people feel grudges. In addition, after Empress Duanming passed by, although the emperor no longer stood behind, he named He Guifei as the imperial concubine and took charge of the six palaces, just like the queen. The second prince Hongyi has a deep bloodline from his mother. Compared with his gentle and weak elder brother, Hongyi is capable of literature and martial arts. If he is in war, he must be a hero in troubled times. If that's the case, maybe the ministers will not be so difficult to choose. Compared with the eldest son of his mother's family, the second prince is obviously more advantageous.
But the bad part is that Hongwen, the eldest son of the emperor, and Hongfang, who grew up together. Compared with Hongyi, Hongwen and Hongfang, the two cousins have deeper feelings.
And Hongfang is the only direct nephew of the emperor and the eldest son of the third prince. Originally, the emperor personally married him and promised the youngest daughter of General Dingxi to him. There is a behind-the-scenes camp of the three royal palace and the eldest son of General Dingxi. Even without a strong mother's family, the eldest son can still compete with the second prince.
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like a tiger. No one can guess the emperor's mind, so the ministers can only swing with him. Just like Mr. Li, he simply withdrew from the camp and raised his hand to show that neither side would stand in line.
"Wuniang, come here." Li Sinian stopped Shaohua at the end.
She stopped and looked at Wanhua. After whispering to her, Wanhua nodded worriedly and left first.
"Second brother, what are you calling me for?" Somehow, Shaohua always felt a little guilty in front of Li Sinian.
"How old are you?" Li Sinian suddenly lost a problem that two monks couldn't touch their heads.
"Fourteen after the New Year." Shaohua answered carefully.
"14, fifteen in the year after next." Li Sinian said to himself.
Shaohua didn't know why Li Sinian suddenly asked her age. In fact, she almost forgot that she was only 13 years old now. Thinking that Yan Kaizhi may also feel confused and suddenly being pursued so enthusiastically by a 13-year-old woman, I don't know if she will think she is just playing. Suddenly, Shaohua was a little depressed and finally saw it twice. The first time it made both of them embarrassed, and the second time she almost hurt him, maybe he didn't have a good impression of her in his heart.
Suddenly, I felt a big hand pressing on her head, patted it gently, and then heard Li Sinian sigh quietly: "Yan Kaizhi is a good person."
"Eh?" This jump is too strong. Shaohua can't keep up with Li Sinian's rhythm at all.
"Don't you like him?" Li Sinian frowned. Although Song Yu was also a good person, he was still slightly worse than Yan Kaizhi.
"No, I like him." Shaohua's thoughtless answer made Li Sinian a little surprised and made Shaohua ashamed. I, I mean... ah! Yes, I fell in like him."
Li Sinian was stunned for a long time. He didn't expect Shaohua to be so straightforward at all. He came to his senses for a long time and sighed, "If it survives this time, maybe there is still a long way to go. If there is really a chance... As long as Xing Yongbo Mansion can be preserved, you still have a chance. Three years later, you are 16 years old, and you are just ready to get married.
"And then?" Shaohua asked stupidly.
Li Sinian was choked by her words. She looked confused and took a deep breath, "Then you should go back and pack up."
