Chapter 696: The Prince of the Qing Dynasty Who Blessed the World
The news that King Zhou broke his leg at the palace gate came out the next day.
The emperor was furious in the court and cursed everyone in the six ministries and nine ministers who could get in touch with him.
The court hall was no longer as bustling as before. Everyone lowered their heads, listening to the emperor's angry curses above, and then threw down all the papers.
King Zhou was the emperor's legitimate son and the most popular person among the princes. Something happened at the palace gate. And when he thought about it, King Chen was also involved. Many people had various suspicions, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Everyone is secretly guessing which master is responsible. It seems that this is the meaning of killing two birds with one stone. If it is another prince who meets King Zhou at the palace gate this time, it will not be a big deal. After all, he will fall again. It wasn't him, but His Highness King Chen, who was a crystal man.
I'm afraid of getting hurt when it's hot, and I'm afraid of getting hurt when it's cold. What's more, in order to save King Zhou at the palace gate, this guy spent a lot of time in the wind.
It snowed heavily and the wind was strong last night. As we all know, the palace gate is the most windy place. This person's body was sick from the wind and it was normal for him to still be unconscious at this time.
It really kills two birds with one stone.
Many officials secretly looked at His Highness King Yue who was standing in a high position and listening to the training together. Although His Highness King Yue was expressionless as usual, who knew what he was thinking.
It seems that he is the most likely to benefit, but why does the emperor still mention King Cheng from time to time?
Most of the people who serve as officials in the court are smart people. After careful consideration, I suddenly found some meaning. Could it be that His Highness Prince Cheng may also be involved? I heard that His Highness Prince Cheng, who has always been a stoic and unwilling to marry a princess, might he also have an idea for the chair above?
There are many officials who were "reminded" by the emperor to think this way. After all, the emperor's position was obtained from the former emperor, and the former emperor was the emperor's brother. This shows that there is also a custom in this dynasty of brother-to-brother succession. It's just that Unlike the previous emperor, the emperor's sons have all grown up, and they all seem to be interested in this chair.
There is only one chair, and the last person to sit on it is the winner. The blood and blood in it makes people shudder when thinking about it.
Of course, there is only one life, and there are not many people who want to follow the dragon's power. Everyone thinks it is better to stay safe, especially when the situation is unclear. Who knows who the emperor will choose in the end? Everyone's life is theirs, and it's not just everyone's life, but also the lives of their respective families. No one dares to really take the risk.
This person is pretending to be deaf and listening to the emperor's scolding. Didn't you see that His Highness King Yue didn't even say a word?
So the whole hall was quiet except for the emperor's angry curses. After a while, the emperor stopped cursing, and then issued an appointment. He actually asked the Qingjun Prince to come to the court to listen to the government, and to inquire about what happened to the King of Zhou at the palace gate. case.
Since Chu Qing became the King of Qing County, he has always been a sinecure, and no one took him seriously.
Among the children of the late emperor, only King Chen won the hearts of the emperor and the empress dowager, and he was raised since childhood. Naturally, this affection was no better than that of others, even if Prince Qing was also of the blood of the late emperor.
Besides, His Highness King Chen also has the advantage that he will not threaten the inheritance of the throne.
The fact that the Emperor and the Queen Mother pampered him so much has a lot to do with his health. The courtiers all thought that it was normal for the Emperor to do this. Anyone sitting in this position would appease King Chen. Not only should they appease him, but they should also Of course this kind of love is for the whole world to see, isn't it?
But this Chu Qing was different. He was physically strong. Although he was not as valuable as Chu Liuchen in terms of status, he was still the heir of the former prince. If he was allowed to gain power, it would be different.
Even though Chu Qing came back and became the King of Qing County, he could be regarded as acknowledging his ancestors and returning to the clan. No one in the court said they would invite him back to serve. They all felt that King Qing could only be like this in his life. , being an idle clan prince is also a good thing.
Unexpectedly, the emperor mentioned it himself when others did not mention it. In this atmosphere, no one would refute the emperor without opening his eyes. So Chu Qing entered the court, and his main responsibility was to investigate the affairs of King Zhou at the palace gate.
After the emperor finished talking about Chu Qing's affairs, he turned around angrily and left the court. All the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief, greeted each other and left.
Chu Qing also exhaled heavily, feeling very happy. He didn't expect that it would be so easy for him to enter the court, and that King Zhou's affairs would be his own good thing.
He was originally worried about entering the court and wanted to do it secretly. Unexpectedly, the opportunity came like this, and it was proposed by the emperor. This was much better and safer than making people speak secretly.
"Prince Qing!" A cold voice came. Chu Qing hurriedly calmed down his emotions and turned around with a smile. He just entered the court and could not offend anyone, let alone Chu Liuyue.
"His Royal Highness King Yue!"
"The second brother's matter involves a lot. The third brother is also in the Taiyuan Hospital now. I will go to visit later. If Prince Qing has anything to say, I will bring it to my second brother and third brother. I will personally I will serve you!" Chu Liuyue said calmly.
"I dare not trouble King Yue. I don't know about this matter now. I have to find out more before reporting it to the emperor!" Prince Qing pushed the words out in a serious tone.
"In that case, I will leave first. I hope the Prince of Qing County will find out the truth soon and seek justice for the second and third brothers!" Chu Liuyue twitched the corners of her lips, smiling very faintly and very calmly. , and then walked away, ignoring Chu Qing again.
Chu Qing's face turned red after being left behind. He remembered that he had clearly saved Shao Yanru that day, but the visitor from Prince Yue's Mansion said that it was Shao Jie'er, the second lady of Shao Mansion, who was nothing more than a concubine. How dare you open your eyes and tell lies like this? , putting the blame on himself, but he couldn't say that the person he saved at that time was not Shao Jie'er.
With Chu Liuyue, Chu Liuzhou and that concubine Shu here, isn’t it the same!
He had to swallow this mute thing. Thinking of his resentment, he smashed the table in front of him in the mansion, feeling aggrieved and angry at the same time.
It's not because he is just an idle clan king with no power and only the name of a county king, so he dares to bully himself like this.
Not only Chu Liuyue, Chu Liuzhou and Shu Fei, but also Shao Yanru, in Chu Qing's heart, she had already hated these people together.
As for Shao Jie'er, who would bother to marry such a concubine? A little concubine who is not taken seriously wants to occupy her position as a concubine, regardless of whether their Xingguo Duke's palace has such a big reputation.
Chu Qing has been holding back his anger these past few days. In order to hold back this anger, he didn't even leave the house. He just told himself that he was sick and stayed at home. Unexpectedly, sitting at home behind closed doors, luck fell from the sky. After taking up a position in the Ministry of Punishment, he was no longer a powerless and idle clan member.
Sure enough, some things cannot be rushed, take your time!
As for Shao Jie'er, if the conditions of Duke Xingguo's palace are good, he can actually give her a side room position, but it depends on whether Duke Xingguo takes any action.
By investigating the affairs of the King of Zhou, you can contact many people, some important ministers, and some important royal family members, which will be very beneficial to your own plans.
His position as princess was of great importance and he should not give it to anyone easily. He had taken a liking to Shao Yanru before, but now Shao Yanru despised him. He was unwilling to give his position as princess to her again when he would step into that position in the future. Under the throne, he wants this woman to kneel in front of him and beg him to accept her...
The news that King Zhou fell at the palace gate also reached Shao Wanru's ears. Of course, the news that Chu Liuchen also entered Tai Hospital along with him also spread.
Shao Wanru played with a hairpin in her hand. Listening to Qing'er's report, a hint of sadness slipped through her eyes. She didn't believe that this was an accident, especially after yesterday she went out of her way to remind Chu Liuchen of things to be careful about. , It is impossible that something will really happen to Chu Liuchen!
After inexplicably trusting Chu Liuchen, Shao Wanru stopped worrying about this matter. This kind of matter was a major matter in the court, and she, a woman in the boudoir, was unable to interfere.
What she can interfere with is some of the backyard affairs in this mansion, such as Wang Yishu's affairs.
"Miss, I just met Dr. Qiu. When he saw you, he stopped and greeted me, and then he stopped talking for a while before leaving."
Qu Le came in with a food basket, put down the food basket in his hand and wiped the sweat on his head. He had just walked a little hastily. Even in the middle of winter, he still felt sweaty.
Lunch was usually picked up at this time, but Qu Le had never seen Doctor Qiu in the past. Doctor Qiu used remote roads to go in and out of the backyard, and it was impossible to run into people from Piao Yun Courtyard, but It just happened to happen today.
"What did you say?" Shao Wanru asked with a slight smile, his watery eyes turning slightly.
"Of course it's what the young lady said. Yi Li asked about Miss Wang's health. Doctor Qiu said that Miss Wang's health is really bad. It may be just a few days. If the young lady is free...say At this point, he didn’t say anything anymore, and specifically let the slaves imagine and use it!”
Qu Le said disdainfully.
Several confidants have now confirmed that Dr. Qiu has no good intentions towards his young lady. What Dr. Qiu is doing is no different from what the young lady guessed. They also admire the young lady more and more and are more and more convinced of the young lady.
"Miss, do you want to go now?" Qing'er asked.
"Now is not the time, just give it a few more days!" Shao Wanru smiled slightly and said calmly, leaning back on the chair, passing the hairpin in his hand back to Yu Jie, who was helping comb her hair. Said, "Use this hairpin!"
The hairpin made of purple bamboo is elegant and natural, which is very suitable for her current situation. It has no glamorous appearance, but is simple yet gorgeous. The color is not too plain.
"Qing'er, keep an eye on the door of the backyard tonight to see if Wang Shengxue is coming, if he is looking for Wang Yishu, and what the two of them said!"
"Yes, I know!" Qing'er nodded and stepped back.
Yu Jie tied the hairpin for her, and after Shao Wanru looked in the mirror, he stood up: "Let's go and see it now!"
