Chapter 508 Lucky

Yuchen was talking about Zhou Yan with Nanny Gui when he saw his son walking in. Yuchen was surprised and delighted at the same time: "Yan'er, why are you here?" After saying this, he was about to get up, but was held down by Nanny Gui.

Nanny Gui said: "Madam, the imperial physician said you can't get out of bed. If you have anything to say, it's the same when you lie on the bed." Imperial physician Le told Yuchen to lie down for three months, and then get out of bed when the fetus is stable.

Zhou Yan's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he soon recovered. Walking to the bedside, Zhou Yan asked, "Mom, am I going to be an older brother?" Although Zhou Xia passed away a long time ago, Zhou Yan still had a deep impression of this younger sister, because Yuchen often talked to her about it. .

Yuchen's expression was a bit complicated, and he asked after a while: "Yeah, Yan'er is going to be an older brother soon, I wonder if you like it or not?"

Zhou Yan said with a smile: "Whether it is a younger brother or a younger sister, I like both. If it is a younger brother, I will teach him to read in the future, and if it is a younger sister, I will love her well in the future."

Yuchen was afraid that Zhou Yan would feel uncomfortable just now, but now Zhou Yan's attitude made her breathe a sigh of relief: "It's just as long as you like it. It's all mother's fault, mother failed to protect you."

Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "If it wasn't for my mother, I wouldn't be able to move to the East Palace." Don't look at Zhou Yan who is not yet six years old, but he speaks and acts like a young adult. But after going through so many things, it's hard not to grow up.

Zhou Yan stayed in Yanwang Mansion for half an hour and then went back. Yuchen wanted him to stay for lunch, but Zhou Yan refused. Coming to the palace was already his biggest concession. Letting him stay here for lunch, how can he eat.

Yuchen was a little sad, and said to Nanny Gui: "It's because of my incompetence as a mother that Yan'er has suffered so much." She felt sorry for her son's sensibility, and also felt sorry for his son's current situation, but as a mother, she Yes, but nothing can be done.

Nanny Gui sighed inwardly, and said in relief, "Your Majesty, you have to take care of yourself, so that you can protect Your Highness." No matter what happened, the master couldn't be blamed. She is just a weak woman, and it is already very good to find a place to live in this world. Moreover, the master did not do nothing. If it weren't for the master's mediation in front of the prince, His Highness would have suffered even more.

After hunting for three days, the two assassins were not caught. Yan Wushuang said with a cold face: "The hiding is really deep enough." The two assassins were injured, and it should be much easier to hunt them down. But now there is no trace at all, which makes Yan Wushuang feel the danger.

Meng Nian said: "It is not appropriate to continue the search." Three days is already the limit. If we go any further, it will make people panic, which is not conducive to the stability of the capital.

Yan Wushuang said: "We must find this melon." If this person is not found, there will be endless troubles.

Meng Nian also knew to find this honeydew melon, but it was not so difficult: "My lord, Han Yuxi has established such a force in the capital in only two years. My lord, I am really worried." The momentum made him a little startled.

Yan Wushuang corrected Meng Nian's words and said, "You're wrong. These people can hide so deeply that we can't find them. It's not because of Han Yuxi, but because of Han Jianming. Before Han Jianming went to the Northwest, he was a Korean public. The Duke's Mansion is in decline, and the heritage of the Duke's Mansion is not comparable to that of ordinary people." Obviously, Han Jianming gave the resources at hand to Yun Qing and Han Yuxi. That's why this force has developed so rapidly in less than a year.

Meng Nian hesitated, and said, "Will Han Jianming hand over all his contacts to Yunqing and Han Yuxi?" These can be regarded as Han Jianming's hole cards, and handing them over can be said to bet everything.

Yan Wushuang said: "Han Jianming's plan is very big, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to take his family and trot to the northwest.

"Being able to give up the original family business and start from scratch, Yan Wushuang admires Han Jianming just for this, not everyone has the courage.

Meng Nian said: "Isn't Han Jianming afraid that Han Yuxi will kill the donkey in the future?" This kind of behavior is very dangerous.

Yan Wushuang said: "Han Jianming is actually making a big gamble. If he wins, he will have a bright future, and his children and grandchildren will also enjoy prosperity and wealth." The network resources in Han Jianming's hands are not very useful in his hands. Giving Yunqing and Han Yuxi can maximize their benefits.

At this point, Yan Wushuang had to admit that although Han Jianming's abilities were not outstanding, he had a good eye for people.

After talking about Northwest, the two talked about Jiangnan again. Meng Nian said: "Last year's taxes in Jiangnan were only over two million taels. This year, it may be even less." Although Jiangnan was controlled by the Yu family, the Yu family did not live outside the court like the Northwest. On the surface, Jiangnan still belongs to the imperial court. There is no DúLì in the imperial court, because the Yu family is a farming and studying family, and they pay attention to loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. If they dare to stand up to the imperial court, it is tantamount to smashing their own signboard and slapping themselves in the face.

Jiangnan is the most affluent place in the world. During the Taiping period, the annual taxes collected accounted for half of the total harvest. More than two million taels of silver, only one-tenth of it in peacetime. Taxes are getting less and less, not all because of the Yu family. The world is not peaceful, bandits are everywhere, and smuggling is serious. Items such as tea and salt are the most taxed items and the most smuggled items. People like Wu Kuo are also doing these businesses, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to make that much money a year.

Yan Wushuang was not surprised, and said: "Who would give others the money in his own pocket?" The Yu family gave the million silver to save face. And if you want to increase taxes, unless you reshuffle the forces in Jiangnan, it will be useless to say anything. To achieve this step, the only way is to completely control Jiangnan, which they can't do now.

While talking, someone came from the palace, saying that the emperor had passed out again. The first time Zhou Jing woke up from a coma two days later, she remained normal for half a month. Half a month later, I was listening to the minister's discussion in the imperial study, and passed out again without warning. Up to now, I have passed out five or six times. It's a pity that the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital were helpless. Yan Wushuang has already posted a notice that he is looking for a famous doctor in the world. Unfortunately, there are very few applicants.

Hearing this, Meng Nian said, "My lord, we should have made a plan earlier." This early plan refers to supporting Zhou Yan in the upper echelon.

Yan Wushuang said: "Let's talk about it when he is out of breath!" It didn't matter to him that the emperor fell into a coma due to a strange disease. As long as he has breath, he doesn't want to change the emperor again, trouble.

Hearing that Qiu Dashan is not dead, he will not be disabled, and he will still be able to lead troops to fight after he recovers from that little injury. It was so hard to make a move, and three people were lost, but it ended up with such an unsatisfactory result. Yu Xi said: "Qiu Dashan's luck is really good." Five against three, he didn't kill him.

Xu Wu said: "Qiu Dashan was wearing armor at the time, otherwise he would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die." Yan Wushuang's confidant dies one more, and they will have one less rival in the future.

Yuxi said: "So he is lucky! Forget it, it is useless to pursue it after this. How are the two injured people now? There is no hindrance, right?"

Xu Wu said: "Their injuries are not serious, and they will be fine after a few more days of care." The two escaped people hid in the small courtyard where Yuxi lived with smallpox when she was a child. Because that place is often haunted, few people would go there before. Now that Han Jingyan lives in, there are only more than 40 people in the whole Duke's mansion, and no one will set foot in that place.

After a pause, Xu Wu said: "Of the three people who were arrested, one named Qin Wu rebelled, and he confessed the honeydew. Yan Wushuang is now doing his best to hunt down the honeydew." If the honeydew is caught, Very serious consequences.

In fact, not only Meng Nian and others thought the code name honeydew was strange, even Xu Wu and others had weird expressions when they first heard such a code name. Such a code name is really not tall. Compared with the code name Falcon, it's a million miles away. But there is no way, this code name was given by Yuxi, so I don't have to change it if I want to.

Yuxi thought for a while and asked: "Is this Qin Wu the one who has no one at home?" The five people who assassinated Qiu Dashan were sent directly from the northwest, and no one hidden in the capital was used. When carrying out this mission, these five people knew that this trip would be bad or bad, and they were all ready to die.

Xu Wu shook his head and said: "It's not him who has no one in the family. Qin Wu's family also has an old mother, a wife and children, a total of five people." Yuxi will give special preferential treatment to those who work for their husbands and wives. If he died, the palace would give him a generous pension, and if he was disabled or had other problems, he would arrange easy errands. In addition, the children of these people will also have the opportunity to go to the school for five years to study and practice martial arts for free. If the child is outstanding, he can work as an errand in the palace or give priority to the military camps such as the Xiaoqi Camp. Yuxi's actions greatly increased everyone's loyalty to their husband and wife.

Yuxi was a little surprised, she thought that the rebels would be people with nothing to worry about! Although Qin Wu confessed because he could not stand the torture, betrayal is betrayal, no matter what the reason is. Yu Xi said expressionlessly: "The pension will not be paid, and all the preferential treatment for Qin Wu's family will be cancelled." It is a bit cruel to do this, but there are no rules and no rules, and this must be done.

Xu Wu nodded and said, "I will give instructions on this matter."

After talking about the business, Xu Wu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Princess Wang, can I ask Grandma Quan to help my daughter-in-law take care of her body." He and Ling have been married for a year, and Ling hasn't moved at all. Xu Wu was not in a hurry, but Ling Shi herself became anxious.

Hearing what Xu Wu was thinking, Yu Xi asked a little strangely: "What's the matter? Does your wife have any discomfort?"

Xu Wu shook his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Has it been almost a year since we haven't been married? Ling is not pregnant yet, so she is a little anxious. I heard that Quan Nai is very good at recuperating people's bodies, so I want Madam to help Let's sort it out."

Ling's family has not been pregnant for a year after marriage, Yuxi doesn't think there is anything wrong, and many people become pregnant two or three years after marriage. Yuxi said: "Before you got married, I asked Dr. He to show your wife. Your daughter-in-law is in good health and there is no problem. She hasn't conceived yet. It should be because the fate of the child has not yet come." Yuxi He is very considerate in doing things, but he will not let Xu Wu marry someone with health problems. So before getting engaged, he asked Dr. He to check Ling's pulse, and made sure that there was no problem before deciding on the marriage.

Xu Wu was a little surprised, he really didn't know about this.

Yu Xi smiled and said: "But if you still want Quan Momo to help your daughter-in-law take care of her, just send me the pulse report, and I will ask Quan Momo to dispense medicine for you." Now it is possible for Quan Momo to make medicine by herself , and there are only four members of Yuxi's family.

Xu Wu hurriedly nodded and said, "Thank you, Princess." (To be continued)
