Chapter 523: Zhou Yan Ascends the Throne

On October 26th, Zhou Yan ascended the throne as emperor and changed his year name to Zhengtong. The little man was wearing the emperor's mianfu, sitting on the dragon chair, watching the kneeling below, with no sadness or joy on his face.

Because the national treasury was empty, Zhou Yan's ascension to the throne also kept everything simple. However, after a whole set of procedures, Zhou Yan was so tired that he almost collapsed. If it hadn't been for Zhou Yan's strong support, he would have fallen down a long time ago.

Back to the bedroom, looking at the stranger in the palace. Zhou Yan asked, "Who are you? Where is Eunuch Li?" A bad premonition flashed in Zhou Yan's heart.

The leading eunuch said: "Back to the emperor, the old servant's surname is Cai, and he was transferred by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve the emperor. As for Eunuch Li, he is old and weak, Mr. Guo let him be raised by his hometown."

A look of indignation flashed across Zhou Yan's face, even if he became the emperor, he still had to make a living under Yan Wu's hands. But the experience of these two years made Zhou Yan no longer a simple child. Zhou Yan said: "In this case, I will work hard for you in the future."

Eunuch Cai bent his waist ninety degrees, and said: "The emperor's words have broken the old slave, and it is the duty of the old slave to serve the emperor." Eunuch Cai is not only here to take care of Zhou Yan, but also to monitor him.

Yuchen felt a little lost on this day. Her son ascended the throne as emperor, but she had no chance to wait and see: "I don't know how Yan'er is doing now? Will he be tired?" The procedure of enthroning is extremely cumbersome, and few adults can bear it, let alone Yan'er. child.

Nanny Gui said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it will be fine." Seeing Yuchen thinking about Zhou Yan, Nanny Gui hoped that the two children in her womb would be born soon. In this way, most of the empress's attention can also be diverted, instead of paying attention to His Highness all the time.

While talking, I heard that Mrs. Jiang was coming. Yuchen stood up, went to the door and welcomed Mrs. Zhao into the room: "I was just talking about my sister-in-law, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to come."

Old Master Jiang was afraid that Yuchen would be thinking wildly at home because of Zhou Yan's ascension to the throne, so he ordered Mrs. Zhao to come and talk to her. Looking at Yuchen, Mrs. Zhao said enviously: "I heard that when you are pregnant with twins, the bigger you get, the more uncomfortable you will be at the back, and even your legs and feet will be swollen, but you didn't react at all." What a blessing this is. This kind of blessing is unimaginable to most people.

Because of the experience of being pregnant with twins, Yuchen didn't panic. According to my experience last time, I have to walk for less than a quarter of an hour every morning, noon and evening, even if my legs hurt. In addition, let the medical girl massage the hands and feet to prevent swelling of the legs and feet.

Yuchen leaned on the chair and said: "Conceiving two children is much more difficult than one." Needless to say, she has a big belly and cannot turn over when she sleeps. But the only consolation is that it didn't affect the appearance and didn't gain weight. For many people, this is simply a miracle.

Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "It would be great if this baby can be born with a pair of dragon and phoenix twins." Dragon and phoenix twins are generally regarded as auspicious. If Yuchen gave birth to a dragon and a phoenix twin, she would really gain a firm foothold in the Palace of King Yan.

The words of the twins reminded Yuchen of the past, but Yuchen didn't show it: "I borrowed a good word from my sister-in-law." In fact, Yuchen hoped that the two children in her belly would be girls, so that it would save a lot of trouble in the future. trouble.

Every time Mrs. Zhao comes over, he always chats with Yuchen about family matters: "Yuchen, Jiang Er's nǎinǎi returned to Beijing a few days ago, do you know about this?" Just know.

Yuchen shook his head and said, "I don't know. But why did the people who went to pick them up in February come back to Beijing now?" No matter how difficult the road is, it doesn't take half a year.

Mrs. Zhao told what she had heard: "I heard that it is because the nephew of the General Soldier of Henan fell in love with Jiang Er's nǎinǎi and wanted to take her as a concubine." Can't say, Yuchen will know in the future.

Yuchen's face changed slightly,

Because she thought of herself from Yurong. But Yurong managed to avoid that fate: "Then how did Yurong escape?" Needless to think, someone must have helped, otherwise, Yurong would not have escaped the catastrophe of being a concubine. Unfortunately, when she was in trouble, no one gave her a hand.

Mrs. Zhao said: "Some say that Princess Pingxi rescued Jiang Er's nǎinǎi, and others say that Jiang's uncle rescued her. As for the truth, only Jiang Er's ninǎinǎi and the Jiang family know."

Yuchen said: "It should be Yurong who was rescued by the uncle of the Jiang family. Yuxi, she and Yurong didn't get along when she was young, she will not go to rescue Yurong." Yurong is from the Jiang family, and Having given birth to a son for the Jiang family, if Yurong was snatched away to be a concubine, the Jiang family would lose all face.

Mrs. Zhao shook her head and said, "Princess Pingxi has been to the Hou Mansion several times before, and she didn't think she was special at that time? Who would have thought that she has become the majestic Princess Pingxi now?" To be exact, there are Yuchen became a foil to all the others. In addition, Yuxi acted in a low-key manner, not someone to show off, and there were very few people who could notice her.

Yuchen smiled wryly and said: "Don't talk about you, sister-in-law, it's just grandma and me. At that time, I didn't see Yuxi's difference." Before going to the Northwest, Yuxi was very diligent and liked to read books, and there was nothing special about it. place.

Zhao Shigang just sighed: "However, no matter how strong this woman is, without a son, she is still making wedding clothes for others."

Yuchen didn't really want to discuss the issue of having a boy or a girl: "Yurong brought the child back this time, is the child okay?"

Mrs. Zhao said: "I haven't heard anything wrong with that child. Thinking about it, it should be fine." The reason why Yurong has only arrived in the capital now is that the road is not peaceful, and there is another reason, that is, she brought a child.

Mrs. Zhao stayed with Yuchen all day and didn't return home until the afternoon.

In the evening, Yan Wushuang returned to the palace from the palace. When he returned to the palace, he didn't go directly to the backyard, but went to the torture room privately set up in the palace. Yan Wushuang walked into the torture room, looked at Eunuch Li who was hung up and had no good flesh on his body, and asked expressionlessly: "How is it? Have you not been recruited yet?"

Gao Dongnan shook his head and said, "No, he said he didn't know anything."

When Eunuch Li saw Yan Wushuang, he begged bitterly: "My lord, when we entered the house that day, the emperor and my master were both unconscious. Is this old slave really not aware of what happened? My lord, please give me a hand." Have fun!" He really didn't know anything.

Yan Wushuang didn't believe Eunuch Li's words, and said, "If you tell me, I'll let you die happily. If you don't do it, then you can taste the punishment by cutting!" Individuals can afford it.

Eunuch Li was about to collapse: "My lord, I really don't know anything. If I knew, I would definitely tell you every word." Now he just wants to have a good time.

Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "Then tell me, who is suspicious among the people serving the emperor. If you can tell, I will give you a happy time."

Eunuch Li said: "If you want to say it's suspicious, His Highness's wife, Aunt An, is the most suspicious. Because she takes care of His Highness's basic necessities, and often walks around outside." As for whether she sent news, it's unknown.

Yan Wushuang said indifferently: "What else?"

Eunuch Li mentioned all the suspects. In fact, most of the people here are innocent. But Eunuch Li, in order to get a happy death for himself, he will not let anyone who can bite.

All the people Zhou Yan took care of were arrested, not only Eunuch Li. It's just that Eunuch Li was the eunuch who took care of Zhou Yan personally, so he was interrogated first.

Yan Wushuang said: "Bring that bitch here."

Gao Dongnan came back not long after he went out, and said to Yan Wushuang with a face of shame: "My lord, that bitch committed suicide. She cut the main artery in her neck, and it is hopeless."

Except for the girl who committed suicide, all other [UUReading Book 00ks] people have been interrogated and got some things, but they are of little value. The most suspected person is this bitch, but unfortunately she is already dead.

Gao Dongnan thought for a while, and said to Yan Wushuang: "Perhaps, the side concubine knows something!" Han side concubine, who was Emperor Taichang's favorite woman in the past, probably knew a lot of things.

With a touch of sarcasm on Yan Wushuang's face, he said, "Zhou Jing will tell Zhou Yan these secrets, but he will never tell Han Yuchen." The son is his own, so he can trust it naturally, but his wife may not.

Gao Dongnan nodded and said, "Your Highness said the same thing." If it were him, he would tell his son the secrets, but he would not tell his wife. One reason is that a woman can't keep a secret, and the other reason is that this wife is not as reliable as a son. Thinking of this, Gao Dongnan also stopped thinking.

After leaving the torture room, Yan Wushuang went back to her yard, and went to Yuchen's yard after eating. Yuchen just asked the nurse to give her a massage.

Yan Wushuang looked at Yuchen, who was still as beautiful as before when she was pregnant, and remembered the rumors about Yuxi in the northwest that the foster mother was an ugly mother, so everyone thought that Han Yuxi was pregnant with a girl. Yan Wushuang already had several sons but no daughter, so he hoped that Yuchen would have a pair of daughters.

Yuchen waved to the doctor girl and said, "Go down!" Every time Yan Wushuang came over, he always told her something, and this time was probably no exception.

Yan Wushuang sat on a chair and asked Yuchen, "How is today? Is the child good?" Yan Wushuang never took other people's thoughts into consideration when he acted, and he said things that were originally warm, but he said them in a hard way.

Yuchen said: "The two children are very good." After finishing speaking, Yuchen looked up at Yan Wushuang's piercing eyes, his heart moved, and he said cautiously: "My lord, the child is seven months old. Talk to them! Or you talk to them."

Yan Wushuang didn't have this interest, and said, "What are you talking about? They won't hear you even if you say it." A baby who was never born and didn't understand anything, has nothing to say.

Although Yuchen was a little disappointed, seeing that Yan Wushuang didn't lose his temper, he felt relieved: "My lord, did the enthronement ceremony go well today?"

Yan Wushuang nodded, and said, "It went well. The emperor's performance impressed me." There was another meaning in these words, but Yuchen didn't know it. (to be continued)
