Chapter 144

Situchen face expressionless forward, at this time his heart is recalling some things.

His mother was born in a humble family. Although he was the eldest son of the emperor, he was not valued by the emperor. Even before he was five years old, he could not remember his father's appearance because he could not see the emperor for several months. Even the palace people dare to run and bully him secretly.

Such a day, more than now, there is no dignity, more people despise.

It was not until he was five years old that he was taken back by Empress Cong, and this situation was completely reversed.

Because queen Cong had no son and took him as a life-saving straw, she took good care of him, took good care of him, and later pushed him to the throne of Prince.

Although this woman also used him mostly, she gave him all the noble honors he had never thought of before. He didn't even mind making chess pieces.

Originally thought this kind of day will continue forever, but when he was 12 years old, Cong empress unexpectedly pregnant, and gave birth to her own son. Although God's blessing, the child's health is not good, but as long as the child is there, he's living in terror.

Over the next few years, he tried to curry favor with his adoptive mother.

Fortunately, empress Cong suffered from dystocia when she gave birth to situyuan, and the reason for her health was that she didn't like the child very much at the beginning, so he deliberately flattered him, forming a sharp contrast. After giving birth to the child, Queen Cong did not show any difference to him.

However, he thought that situ yuan would die, but he did not think that he was left in the palace, and his condition was slowly improving.

So he began to sleep every day.

His birth mother's origin is really too low, no one in her family. If queen Cong gave up on him, the Cong family would not be able to continue to be his support.

What's more -

situyuan is his legitimate son!

This identity itself is the most qualified to compete for the throne.

In those years, he was in constant panic, and later --

finally, he had to go out of that step.

Although Queen Cong is the head of the six palaces, she has few chances to get his fortune in one year. She often hates the women who have been favored recently in the palace.

Deep palace lonely, in such a case, he did not even use any excessive means, only in a time after the courage of the test, two people almost hit it off.

From then on, he finally felt at ease with the relationship that he could not see again.

Dirty palace! It's a capital crime!

After that step, empress Cong and he will always sit in the same boat, with no choice but to support him.

What's more, situ yuan was really stupid. After returning to the palace, he didn't even know how to please his mother. The mother and son's separation completely pushed empress Cong to his side.

Once he felt dirty, despised and blamed himself.

But what's the use of that? If one day he will fall from the sky into the mud and crumble to pieces, isn't it the most important to protect his life?

So gradually, he also calmly did not care, no matter what kind of means, to keep his life and status is the most important, regardless of the means, regardless of shame, compared with life, those are worthless.

In the future, when he has to succeed the great unification and ascend to the throne of God, these disgraceful past will also be buried by time and disappear.

As for Empress Cong, the woman --

situ Chen turned back and looked at the yard which had been left far behind.

In fact, that woman is quite mindless. She is so stupid that she becomes a puppet in his hand? It's ridiculous.

The storm caused by the sudden death of Guogong's wife was suppressed by situ yuan on the spot. Therefore, although it was very dangerous at that time, he did not hear any words that were not conducive to Yan Jinning.

After returning to the mansion, Yan Jinning went directly to the old lady to report to her. After hearing the news, she was very sorry for a while.

Maybe she was pushing herself to others. She felt a little sad that she was going to be late in the evening. She was not very interested and didn't ask any more questions. She sent Yan Jinning back.

A Li doesn't care about Yan Jinning's private affairs. Yan Jinning has something to do for her. Although she never shirks and does it with great responsibility, Yan Jinning knows that she is different from Lingyu and Linglong.

The master and servant went back to the Begonia Garden. Lingyu could see that Yan Jinning was in a bad mood and worried: "what's wrong with Miss? What happened to you today? "

Yan Jinning did not answer, directly bypassed her into the bedroom.

"The king's wife is dead!" Ah Li replied.

"Ah?" The news was so sudden that Linglong directly exclaimed, "Miss, didn't you go to the birthday party of the Duke and wife? How could it be? "

Ah Li never talked much. He turned and sat down on the outside couch to rest.Linglong and Lingyu both know why Yan Jinning is in a bad mood.

However, if they want to ask for more details, they are not very confident about ah Li. Naturally, it's better not to say such a secret thing.

There was a sudden accident in the palace, and all the people who went to the banquet came back hungry.

Yan Jinning has no appetite and no use for dinner. He just lies in bed and goes to sleep.

After the death of the Duke's wife, things must not be careless, so every other day, the old lady personally went to the door to offer her condolence. Recently, she always felt that she was old and tired easily. When she went out, she took Yan Jinning with her to help her socialize with her acquaintances.

In recent days, situ yuan stayed in the government house to preside over the affairs of his wife. Yan Jinning and the old lady did not meet him in the past. They just went to the spirit hall to offer incense, but found that there was an aunt who was in charge of the matter and a young lady who was out of the common people. He didn't even see Congrong.

The old lady's eyes flashed suspiciously.

The aunt was alert, and immediately explained, "don't be surprised, old lady Yan. It was the first lady who came out to entertain you. But the old lady died suddenly. She couldn't stand it and fell ill. Now she can't get up, so I'll let my maid guard here."

Congrong is sick?

Although Yan Jinning knows that Gonggong's wife is very kind to her family and is very protective to her family, seeing Congrong like that yesterday doesn't seem like she will directly grieve to fall ill? Think again, on the contrary, there will be more ingredients stimulated by situ yuan's design.

She used to trust situ yuan very much, but this time she didn't know why. Suddenly, she felt shocked for no reason.

Accompany the old lady to come out from the spirit hall. The housekeeper of the mansion said that there were still several life wives in the flower hall. They were all acquaintances. The old lady must go to say hello.

Yan Jinning then said, "grandmother, I think it's going to be windy after noon. I'll go to the carriage and get your cloak. Mrs. Chen said that you can't sleep soundly these two days, and you're not in good spirits. You're particularly prone to catching cold. "

The old lady looked at her and nodded as usual.

She took her mother Chen to the direction of the flower hall with the girl who was leading the way from the government house. Yan Jinning took Lingyu and turned to the front yard. She had not gone two steps. When she could not see the old lady's master and servant, she gave Lingyu a wink, "go get it, and come here to find me in a moment."

Lingyu knew that she was going to take the opportunity to do something and nodded cautiously.

When they came over, they passed by the front yard door. Yan Jinning noticed that Yan Ning was helping to receive the guests there. Now she took the path that Princess Qinghe had taken her through and made a detour across the lotus pond.

There, Yan Ning is still there as expected, just took a guest into the lobby, and then hurriedly buried his head out.

"Yan Ning!" Yan Jinning called him from afar.

Yan Ning looked back and saw that it was her. She could not help but was surprised. She quickly met her, "how are you here, miss two?"

With that, he seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma, but not for a long time. He said directly, "Your Highness is inside. If you want to find him, I'll call you right now."

Say, turn around to go back.

"Yan Ning!" Yan Jinning stopped him, "I won't look for him! I'm looking for you

Yan Ning a Leng, stopped the pace, puzzled.

Yan Ning is very cautious, he came over and blocked in front of Yan Jinning. People passing by in the yard over there can see someone here, but they are just blocked by him and can't see Yan Jinning's face.

Yan Jinning didn't want to get out of the way, so he said straight to the point: "I heard that Miss Cong is ill?"

Yan Ning is more puzzled and frowns at her.

In fact, Yan Jinning was a little angry in her heart. In fact, she didn't want to be so suspicious. However, situ yuan refused to tell her the truth. She was so impetuous and flustered that she couldn't help thinking.

So she bit her teeth. She took a deep breath, looked at Yan Ning's eyes and said, "tell me the truth. Is she really ill or your highness..."

She even suspected that it was situ Yuan who had done something to Congrong?

Yan Ning was so surprised that he couldn't say anything. Then he turned black, and his voice was hard and angry. "The second Miss thinks that our highness is going to use extraordinary means to wipe out Miss Cong, and then he will break the engagement to explain to you?"

Yan Jinning pursed his lips and did not speak, which was regarded as default.

Yan Ning said: "second miss, you know my royal highness. He doesn't need to beat around the Bush for such a small matter."

"That Congrong..." Yan Jinning was a little embarrassed.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. In fact, she didn't doubt situ yuan, or she couldn't figure out the thread of the whole thing. She was flustered.

"She's really sick!" Yan Ning way, pause, and add, "may be the thing that met yesterday to stimulate."

Yan Jinning lowered his head and did not ask again.

Although she still has many problems, she knows that Yan Ning is loyal to situ yuan, and Yan Ning will not tell her anything that she refuses to disclose."Then I'll go first. Don't tell him I came to see you!" Yan Jinning Road, turn back to the original road.

"Second lady!" Yan Ning stares at her back to look at an eye, suddenly again makes a voice to call her.

Yan Jinning stopped to turn back and handed him a look of inquiry, "what's the matter?"

Yan Ning bit his lower teeth in secret and said, "the coffin of the lady of the state will not be buried here. When the ceremony is finished, your highness should escort her coffin to the hometown for burial. You may stay there for a long time Take care

In the capital, there are many people who are hostile to Yan Jinning.

In his capacity, situ yuan didn't have to be filial to his wife. However, just because of his feelings for his wife, at least, he should keep it during the three-month period of filial piety.

"Well!" Yan Jinning didn't feel strange about it. He nodded and turned away.

Rui palace.

Although he was ordered to ban his feet, he heard a lot and the news from the outside declined at all.

He knew the news of his wife's death on the same day.

The first reaction was a little unexpected, but after listening to Su Qing's detailed report, he frowned, "what did they ask Yan Jinning to do when his wife died?"

"I don't know!" Su Qing shook his head. "At that time, the gate of the courtyard was strictly guarded, which was explained by King Zhao himself. They stayed in it for a long time, and it is impossible to know what happened. But when the queen and the prince came out, their faces were very bad."

After a pause, Su Qing said: "later, a girl beside Miss Cong and one beside the queen were all secretly disposed of."

Others may think that empress Cong's face was not good because she was too sad after her mother's death, but situ Ming didn't think so.

After sitting at the table, he pondered for a long time and said firmly, "something must have happened there."

He looked up and looked at Su Qing.

Su Qing was at a loss. "At that time, there were several people in the room, but they were all the confidants of the king Zhao and the empress. If they were united and wanted to cover up something, I'm afraid it would be difficult to pry open the gap."

Si Tu Ming didn't think so. A faint cold light flashed through his eyes and said, "there is no airtight wall in the world!"

Su Qing can't help it. She can't help but say: "I'll try my best to try again."

In fact, this gap was not so difficult to open. Although both situ yuan and Cong empress were worried and didn't want to make the matter public, there were several concubines present at that time.

They were all taken by Empress Cong to make a big noise, but after all, there was no interest in the affairs of the government and their mouths were easy to pry open.

Su Qing only went for a few hours and brought back the news that night.

"Congrong's girl framed Yan Jinning?" After hearing this, situ Ming sneered, "don't say it's a girl. Cong Rong doesn't have the ability to do this in front of Lao Qi, right?"

"That's what I heard from you!" Su Hang said, "the empress looks like At least it's going with the flow! "

Because those people didn't think much about the concubine, the news naturally would not speculate too much about the composition of empress Cong's participation in it.

"I think it's just as good as she did!" Si Tu Ming sneered again, but then he leaned back to his chair in a happy mood. "The queen and the old seven, the mother and son, are really interesting. One is confused and inseparable, and the other is stubborn enough to push the back of his chair?"

Such things can not be discussed by Su Qing, Su Qing hung his head.

After a while, he opened his eyes again and said, "is there any news from Congying in Northern Xinjiang?" "No! It's the same as before Su Qing said: "the Wuhu people on the grassland are often restless and engage in sneak attacks. However, the court has 150000 troops stationed there. Wuhu people are scattered forces. They also know that they are not opponents, so they dare not come hard, or they are always in a turmoil. However, they live there all the year round. They are very familiar with the terrain and the Kung Fu on horseback. After several rounds of encirclement and suppression, the garrison of the imperial court can not clean it up, so they have to spend so much time. " "If Mrs. Ding Guogong dies, Cong Ying will come back to mourn if there is no accident!" Si Tu Ming thought: "these years, other people are at the border, and I can't reach him. In addition, he knows that someone is watching, so he has been very careful to guard against it. This time, he went back to Beijing to mourn It's a good opportunity

Su Qing's heart was slightly shocked, but also an instant cold look, "Your Highness means..."

"On his way back..." Situ Ming took a deep look at him.

Now he didn't dare to rashly move situ Chen and Cong empress because Cong Ying was leading the army at the border. If this person was gone, the Cong family would be nothing.

"I understand. I'm going to choose people to prepare!" Su Qing solemnly bowed his hand.

With a wave of his hand, situ Ming turned and walked out.

Situyuan personally presided over the affairs of the Duke and his wife, which was quite successful. After 49 days of mourning, he went back to the hometown of Cong family in Qishan to bury her.Yan Jinning did not leave the house during this period of time, but he counted the days silently in his heart. He thought that it was time for him to leave, so he found an excuse to go out.

When the carriage came near the main road of East Street, the funeral procession of Cong family passed by. She asked people to park the car in the lane for a while, waiting for the funeral procession to pass first.

Si Tu yuan, dressed in Su Hao, walked slowly along the long street with his wife's coffin.

Yan Jinning looked from the car window and could only see his side face with clear outline and smooth lines.

His face was as cold as ever, but at first glance, it seemed thinner than usual.

Because the funeral procession had a great display, and there were many onlookers. However, when people were engaged in funerals, they were prudent and solemn, and there were few speakers.

Yan Jinning has been watching the team pass by in front of him, which makes him feel strange. He turns to ask Lingyu, the girl in the car, "how is Zhaowang Fuling? What about Dingguo? "

Lingyu didn't know this and shook her head. However, a Li, who was sitting in the corner, said: "I heard that he was going to return for the funeral, but on the first day after receiving the letter from Cong's family, Wuhu people attacked secretly. During the war, two of his deputy generals were seriously injured. Without anyone who could take his place in the army, Dingguo was caught. When the letter came back to ask his majesty for instructions, it took half a month to go back and forth. Probably because he had been in Northern Xinjiang for many years and had the most experience in dealing with Wuhu people, the emperor simply did not ask him to come back for funeral. "

What a coincidence?

A little doubt flashed in Yan Jinning's heart, but she didn't know much about military affairs, so she didn't ask much. Ah Li talked a lot today, and continued: "I asked someone two days ago. The eldest lady of Cong family is still ill. It seems that her condition is not very optimistic. She has been lying in bed all the time recently. Therefore, she did not accompany her on this trip and stayed in the government to recuperate. However, several people around the Duke and his wife went back home with the coffin

Yan Jinning didn't dare to guess what happened to Congrong. However, when situ yuan took Huang's mother and others away, she must have been on guard against empress Cong's evil hands. Or, thinking that situ yuan had been away for a few months, she was suddenly upset.

When the funeral procession of Cong's family passed, Yan Jinning only went to the silk and satin shop, took two pieces of cloth at random and went back to the palace.

In the next few months, everything was as usual in the capital.

As soon as the period of March arrived, the king of Rui, situ Ming, was released. In the court, he and Prince situchen fought against each other, and the two were in full swing.

All these things have nothing to do with her. Yan Jinning simply didn't care about it, but silently counted it in his heart -

situ yuan left at the end of July. Seeing the summer and autumn coming, the time turned to the end of October.

By the end of the year, should he be back?

She thinks so, and she feels bored after thinking about it --

What if he comes back? Last time she put down a cruel word, he didn't compromise, came back to have gas with him, it's better not to come back.

This day, seeing her lying in the window and sighing, Linglong couldn't help but poke a hedge that was teasing birds in a corner of the room. "Do you think our young lady is becoming more and more difficult to serve recently? Why is it a little moody? "

A hedge head also did not return, just way: "after a while good."

Linglong does not understand, still want to ask again, outside see Lingyu facial expression is not very good, quickly walk in.

"Sister Lingyu, what's the matter?" Linglong quickly gets up to meet her.

In recent months, the old lady has been eating a fast and chanting Buddhism. Feng is still ill in bed. Yan Jinwen is always honest. The atmosphere in their house has never been so harmonious. In a Li's words, the days are fading out.

Linglong has not been so nervous for a long time.

Yan Jinning also withdrew her eyes from the window, "what's the matter?"

"Miss!" Lingyu wiped her sweat and said, "I went out to buy something in the morning. I heard a big news, and all the streets were talking about it. It seems that the princess is going to die soon."

"Yes?" Yan Jinning didn't expect this to happen.

She didn't have a good impression of the princess, but in a few months she said she was going to die? It's still shocking.

Even ah Li couldn't help looking back.

"These days, the East Palace has been changing the imperial doctors. This morning, we called seven or eight imperial doctors together. Some people spread the news that the princess is critically ill. The deadline should be in these days." Lingyu road.

"The princess has two daughters, the oldest is seven years old, and the youngest is only three years old." Linglong's face showed a look of disbelief How can you say it's gone

Yan Jinning was silent.

Originally, the princess and she did not have any friendship, but I don't know why, but this night was upset and did not sleep well. The next morning Lingyu was waiting on her to make up. A Li went to the kitchen to get breakfast and came back. The first word he said was: "Miss, the crown princess is dead."
