Chapter 1534: 839 Reunion
Did the emperor take Wuhe paste? !
In Yongle Palace, it was silent again, and even the sound of breathing and heartbeat could be heard clearly.
The queen, who was sitting on a red sandalwood chair, clenched her fists subconsciously, her face sank, and her expression was somewhat complicated.
Wuhe paste is a secret of the Dayu royal family, and there are only a few people who know it. Cheng Dongyang and several cabinet ministers have never heard of it before. Their faces are blank, but they also keenly feel that the empress dowager and the queen seem to know this. Wuhe paste.
The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and asked Imperial Doctor Wang again: "You said, where did the Wuhe ointment taken by the emperor come from, does the Imperial Hospital have a record?"
Under the coercion of the Queen Mother, Imperial Physician Wang couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead again. Several imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital had very different views on the Wuhe ointment. It can be seen, but some people think that the addiction of Wuhe paste is a poison, not a drug...
On the day of the emperor's funeral, when he inspected the emperor's body, he smelled the smell of Wuhe paste from the emperor's mouth, and he hesitated for a while, after all, he didn't say anything. After all, Wuhe Paste had nothing to do with the emperor's death, and the emperor was taking an addictive drug, which was offered by Baiyue people. Spreading these things would only be detrimental to the emperor's reputation...
Adhering to the principle that one more thing is worse than one less thing, Imperial Physician Wang didn't say anything at first, until the Queen Mother approached him for questioning, and he said everything about Wuhe Gao.
Imperial Physician Wang felt uneasy for a while, swallowed his saliva, and continued: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Hospital has never given the emperor Wuhe ointment." After a pause, Imperial Physician Wang lowered his head even lower. Said with difficulty, "The imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital know that in Dayu, only the Queen and the Fifth Prince have Wuhe Paste in their hands..."
The tunic behind Imperial Physician Wang was soaked with sweat. How could he not know that the Empress Dowager was suspicious of the Empress and Prince. Thinking about it, Imperial Physician Wang was frightened and didn't dare to look at the Queen's expression at all.
Wang Taiyi dared not, but the Queen Mother dared. She shot at the Queen like an arrow, and her eagle-like eyes were full of suspicion.
At this time, the queen mother was irritable and suspicious, like a female beast protecting her calf.
Several ministers also looked at the queen, with a trace of scrutiny in their eyes, and a certain idea appeared in their hearts.
The queen was stunned by the empress dowager, and said quickly, "the empress mother and daughter-in-law don't know either, the prince has not taken Wuhe ointment for a long time."
The queen's explanation did not relieve the empress dowager's doubts, and even the doubt and hostility in the empress dowager's eyes became stronger.
The queen mother stared at the queen without blinking, her eyes were sharp, and she said aggressively: "Queen, since the prince has not taken Wuhe ointment for a long time, doesn't it mean that there is still a lot of Wuhe ointment sent from Baiyue before? ?!"
"The Queen Mother..."
The queen felt bad from the queen mother's tone, her hands were tightly clenched into fists in her sleeves, and her heart seemed to be pressing a huge rock: Fan'er is really ill-fated, I thought everything would be fine after Fan'er was named crown prince. ,did not expect……
What else did the queen want to say, however, the queen mother already had her own answer in her heart, and her voice became colder and sharper: "It's not what the emperor wanted to establish a prince, is it because the prince was afraid of being abolished, so he joined Yongyang together. The eldest princess kills the king?!"
The more the queen mother said, the more she felt that this was the case, or that it was the only way to explain the cause and effect of the matter!
The empress dowager's eyes were red and she stared at the empress fiercely. She had already determined in her heart that both the empress and the prince were inseparable from the death of the emperor. After all, the emperor died, and of course the crown prince would be the biggest beneficiary!
Only the prince!
Thinking about it, the queen mother clenched her fist tightly, her fingernails sunk deep into her palm, almost bleeding.
The empress dowager at this time is just an ordinary woman who lost her son. She did everything she could to make the murderer who killed her son pay the price!
The queen mother took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and looked at several ministers again, and said loudly: "Anyway, as long as the cause of the emperor's death is not found out for one day, the new emperor will not be able to ascend the throne!" She would have to see if she did not agree with it. , who would dare to let the prince ascend the throne!
Several cabinet ministers almost had a headache, and exchanged glances secretly. At first glance, what the Queen Mother said makes sense, but after thinking about it, there are many loopholes.
"The Empress Dowager, King Zhennan sent an envoy today to congratulate the Prince on his upcoming enthronement." Cheng Dongyang reminded the Empress Dowager implicitly and implicitly.
Throughout history, it is not uncommon for the prince to be abolished, but the current situation is that even if the emperor is still alive and proposes to abolish the prince, will the Zhennan Palace agree? !
Whether it is to establish a prince or abolish a prince, it is not the emperor or courtiers who can decide now!
Cheng Dongyang's eyes were extremely complicated.
The queen mother sneered, she understood what Cheng Dongyang meant, but she didn't believe that if the prince was abolished, the Zhennan palace would lead the army to fight? ! They are not afraid of being criticized by the people of the world, and they will stink for thousands of years? !
These ministers, they know what they say every day to put the country as the most important thing. She can't take care of these as a woman. She is so old, and she has to send the white-haired person to the black-haired person. Who knows the pain in her heart? !
The emperor is her son, a piece of flesh that fell from her body, and she will never let her son die inexplicably!
"Either abolish the prince, or find the real murderer who murdered the emperor, or Aijia will never give up!" The queen mother slapped the case fiercely, and even the tea cup on the case table trembled.
The Queen Mother's few words made Cheng Dongyang sweat profusely, but for a while he was helpless with the messing up Queen Mother.
Hey, even if you put aside the Zhennan Palace, how could it be so easy to abolish the prince? !
The crown prince has sue the world. Unless the crown prince is executed for treason, the new emperor must be the crown prince. Taking a step back, there are many people in history who have been enthroned as emperor after the prince forced the palace. History is written by the victors.
Furthermore, the emperor's death was highly suspicious, and there was no direct evidence to prove that Yong Yang or the prince were the murderers. It was impossible for Wuhe Gao to convict the prince!
If the prince said that it was the Wuhe ointment that the emperor asked him to ask for, why would he be guilty? !
Now that the people of the court are in turmoil, only when the new emperor ascends the throne as soon as possible can he stabilize the court and stabilize the hearts of the people, otherwise it will only lead to speculations by officials and the common people, which will lead to disillusionment...
For the sake of Dayu Jiangshan, the prince had better ascend the throne immediately!
Cheng Dongyang had something to say in his heart, but when he met the Queen Mother's eyes that seemed to be possessed, he couldn't say it anymore...
Now the queen mother can't listen at all...
Why!
Cheng Dongyang sighed quietly in his heart, but the eldest princess Yongyang is now locked up in the princess palace because of being involved in it, and cannot come out to preside over the overall situation. There is no one in the court and the public who can calm the situation!
Thinking about it, Cheng Dongyang felt heavy in his heart.
If it goes on like this, Da Yu is afraid that it will be messed up!
In the Yongle Palace, the air seemed to congeal. On this day, the crown prince's ascension to the throne was temporarily unsuccessful, and no one could convince anyone.
Obviously, this new emperor battle will be a protracted war.
The news of the emperor's death was soon announced to the world, spreading from the capital to all corners of Dayu, a layer of dark clouds shrouded Dayu's sky, and the whole country mourned together...
The group of Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai, who were hundreds of miles away, had already continued on their return journey. This time, they did not stop there. They went all the way south and entered the southern border at the end of September. The accompanying 3,000 Youqi Camp immediately felt As if returning home, these young soldiers were all refreshed, and the atmosphere in the team was much lighter.
A group of people escorted the coffin to the Great Buddha Temple outside Luoyue City.
The entire Great Buddha Temple was shaken, and many pilgrims and tourists flocked to watch. The presiding master brought a group of monks to welcome Guan Yubai and the others into the temple in person. As for the three thousand secluded riders who completed this errand, they naturally returned to the camp in Luoyue City.
The coffins of Guan Ruyan and others were carried one by one to the Biyun Hall in the northeast corner of the Great Buddha Temple, where they were placed together with Mrs. Guan's coffin.
Guan Yubai stared deeply at his parents' coffin, his left hand clenched into a fist in his sleeve.
After ten years, his parents are finally reunited again!
At this time, Feng Xing and Xiao Si placed the last coffin and looked at Guan Yubai in unison. Both of them felt a little heavy in their hearts.
The air in Biyuntang was awe-inspiring.
Guan Yubai quickly withdrew his gaze, bowed to the host master, and said solemnly: "Master host, I also ask your temple to choose a day for my father, mother, uncle, and my officers and soldiers to preside over the ritual. , to save the undead."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome." The master in charge recited the Buddha's name, and then made a Buddha salute with one palm. "The generals guard the frontier, protect the country and the people, and the poor monks also admire them. This is the honor of our temple."
"Thank you, Master, I've been bothering your temple for the past few days."
During the speech, Guan Yubai stepped out of the Biyun Hall side by side with the host master. The incense curled outside and the smoke was hazy, which made his face more and more dusty, as if he had fallen into the mortal world.
Several monks who were guarding outside the hall exchanged glances secretly. It seems that this Marquis Anyi is going to stay in the southern border, and even the remains of his parents and relatives have been moved to the southern border.
Guan Yubai raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yi who was standing outside the courtyard. The two smiled at each other. In this solemn temple, Guan Yubai's heart was surprisingly calm.
Like the Xiao family, his official family also started at the end of Qingping. He fought with Gaozu on the battlefield and made achievements step by step. The official family only wanted to protect the family and defend the country, but did not want to be destroyed by the intrigue of the court. Caomang, even his father, Guan Ruyan, didn't know where the Guan family's hometown was, and naturally there was no ancestral grave. Now, his parents, uncle, and others are buried in the southern border. It can be regarded as a family reunion. can sleep...
The faint cigarette blew with the cool autumn wind, making Guan Yubai almost unable to open his eyes, his eyes were a little dry and a little sore.
He raised his eyes to look at the blue sky, from then on, they had a vast ocean and a high sky!
The cigarettes were curled up, and the sound of Buddha recitation lingered around, incessantly...
After that, Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi left the Great Buddha Temple and returned to the Zhennan Palace, one back to Qingyunwu, the other back to Bixiao Hall.
As soon as he returned to the Bixiao Hall, Xiao Yi keenly felt that the atmosphere around him was a little weird. Those servants looked at him with a strange expression of hesitating to speak. After meeting his eyes, the servants one One was frightened and fled like a frightened rabbit.
Not right!
Xiao Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but think of Nangong Yue's poisoning that year.
His complexion froze, his breath instantly turned cold, he strode towards their yard, walked a few bluestone roads, and passed through the cave door for several months... Even the maid who greeted him after leaving the hospital didn't bother to pay attention, he It rushed into the house like a gust of wind.
"Ayue!"
Xiao Yi intuitively lifted the curtain and entered the inner room, only to find that the inner room was empty and no one was there.
Nangong Yue was not there.
Xiao Yi "ruthlessly" looked at "that bird" running behind him with an inquiring look, and Thrush said helplessly: "Master Shizi, Concubine Shizi is in the East..."
Before he finished speaking, another gust of wind blew...
Thrush and Ying'er glanced at each other suspiciously, and always felt that the appearance of Shizi was a little weird...
Xiao Yi rudely opened the curtain leading to the Dongci room, and saw Nangong Yue sitting at a round table in the room at a glance, with a sad expression and gloomy eyes.
His Ah Yue lost weight! Xiao Yi's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart tightened.
Naturally, Nangong Yue also heard the movement. She looked up intuitively, but saw Xiao Yi striding in. She stood up overjoyed and blurted out:
"Ai..." You're back!
Before Nangong Yue could say the rest, Xiao Yi had already rushed to her side and carefully supported her waist.
"Ayue, don't get up!" With that said, Xiao Yi carefully helped Nangongyue to sit back, looking at her almost in fear, his slender fingers brushed against her cheek, and there was distress and worry in his eyes .
Ah Yue is so thin that her cheeks are sunken...
Seeing the different expression on Xiao Yi's face, Nangong Yue only thought that he had learned the news of her pregnancy from the maid's mouth, and smiled awkwardly.
"Ayi, I'm fine." Nangong Yue said hurriedly, she just had a body, and Jin Gui couldn't stand when she got there.
Nangong Yue pulled Xiao Yi's sleeve and motioned him to sit down, "Ayi, are you hungry? Sit down and eat something..."
Only then did Xiao Yi notice that there were several delicate side dishes on the table, as well as a bowl of porridge with green vegetables and minced meat. It seemed that he had not moved much.
Ah Yue really is something wrong! Xiao Yi thought to himself, pulled up one of her plain hands, and said sternly, "Ayue, why are you uncomfortable, don't hide it from me?"
Nangong Yue was even more embarrassed when he looked at him. Fortunately, the maids had already retreated wisely. She held his hand and comforted him in a warm voice: "Ayi, I'm fine, but my appetite is not good..."
For the past two months, she has been eating and vomiting, and she has lost a lot of weight, but for the sake of this annoying little guy in her stomach, she can only continue to eat hard.
"Ayi, eat something quickly and go to rest. This way... vomit!"
Before she could finish her words, a disgusting feeling came up again, and she hurriedly leaned over to the copper basin on the side.
Fortunately, it was just a bout of retching, and it calmed down.
Nangong Yue wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, but saw Xiao Yi stand up and shouted: "Come on, get a good doctor..." He was so anxious that he didn't know if the grandfather of the Lin family had returned!
"Ayi, no need, the good doctor only checked my pulse this morning!" Nangong Yue hurriedly said, reaching out and grabbing his sleeve.
When the eyes of the young couple met, they both blinked. At this moment, the two of them finally had a good understanding of each other, and they both vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Ayue," Xiao Yi squatted in front of her, looked at her deeply, and asked solemnly, "What's wrong with you?"
Nangong Yue's cheeks were dyed with a blush like flying xia, and she was a little embarrassed to say it, so she simply grabbed his right palm and directly attached it to her lower abdomen.
The child's upper body is only about three months old, and Nangong Yue's abdomen is as flat as before, and there is no difference at all, but her movement itself is a hint.
For a moment, Xiao Yi seemed to be struck by lightning, staring blankly at Nangong Yue, his right hand subconsciously pressed closer to her abdomen...
Ah Yue didn't mean what he meant, did he?
He blinked slowly, inquiring.
Nangong Yue also blinked cooperatively to confirm.
Then, the silence continued to spread, and time seemed to stand still.
After a while, Xiao Yi's face finally changed, his handsome face was wrinkled together, and he finally remembered the homework he did when Nangong Yue was pregnant with her first child. At this moment, these abnormalities on Nangong Yue's body were explained. .
It turns out that Ayue is not sick, but has again!
Does that mean that another stinky boy is going to snatch Ah Yue from him? !
