At the end of the month, every household is busy. And there is no lack of rich capital, as long as there are good things, a market will not be looted. However, because the Korean government is still observing filial piety, the residence is relatively deserted.
Han Gao rushed into Han Jianming's study from the outside. At this meeting, Tan Jianming is playing chess with Mr. Zhao in the room. Han Gao didn't dare to disturb him. He waited until the game was over, and then he got the news: "the emperor has a stroke."
Han Jianming stood up and asked, "how did you have a stroke?"
Han Gao shook his head and said, "I heard it was caused by an old disease." What's the specific reason? The prince blocked the information, and they couldn't find out. The main reason is that the strength of the government is not good, and the information they can find is limited.
Mr. Zhao frowned and said: "it's all December 27. If it's just a general illness, it will be concealed. It must be very serious now. "
Han Jianming thought for a moment and said, "let's wait and see what happens." Anyway, they are keeping filial piety. Even if the crown prince takes actions with the Song family, they will not be involved.
The emperor is not seriously ill, but to see a beautiful palace maid want to spoil. The body originally empty, still eat the thing that helps to amuse, didn't wait to favor that woman to give directly to draw past. The maid in waiting watched the emperor pass out and commit suicide.
The emperor spent a whole night in the imperial medicine department to wake him up. However, the emperor had a stroke, so he couldn't get up and speak quickly.
Jade Chen got the news, knew that this matter was wrong: "let a person go to inquire about, exactly is how to return a responsibility?" Since the emperor's last illness, most of the eunuchs he served around him were eunuchs, and a few of them were old and frail mothers. Well, how did you fall in love with the beautiful maids? There must be something fishy in it.
Guima didn't agree with Yuchen. She said, "we'd better not get involved in the affairs of the imperial palace." Mother GUI doesn't want Yuchen to be involved in the palace.
Jade Chen shakes head to say: "I have discretion."
Although mother GUI didn't want to, she had to compromise. In the evening, mother GUI told Yuchen the news she got: "Niang Niang, it has nothing to do with your concubine. As for who is behind the scenes, I don't know for the moment."
Yuchen showed a playful look and said: "it's interesting. Who is behind the scenes? What's in the picture? " It's impossible for the prince. He's already in prison. There's no need to kill his father. As for the Yu family and the Song family, they would not poison the emperor. The prince has always wanted to weaken the strength of the two families, so the two families certainly hope that the emperor will live longer. After all, although the crown prince supervises the country, he is the crown prince after all. Many things will be restricted.
Mother GUI shook her head to show that she didn't know. But looking at Yu Chen's smile, mother GUI asked: "princess, do you already know who it is?"
Yuchen shook his head and said, "I'm not a fortune teller. I can count. But I always think it can't be a coincidence. "
Mother GUI said, "princess, this matter should not be investigated any more." If song Guifei or the prince knew that they had placed people in the palace, it would not look good at that time.
Yuchen nodded: "put it down for the time being."
New year's Eve is a time for family reunion. Usually at this time, they go to the palace to pay homage to the emperor and queen. The government is still in the filial piety period this year, so they don't go. On New Year's Eve, the family had dinner together.
Just as he was eating, the housekeeper came in quickly from the outside. He said in a loud voice: "my Lord, my lady, the emperor is dead."
Han Jianming heard a hand meal, asked: "the emperor died?" He thought the emperor would have to endure another March or may! As a result, it's only three days later, and it's gone.
Qiushi is not Han Jianming so calm, said: "hasten to remove the banquet, take out the white cloth to do Xiaoyi." Although there are filial piety clothes before, they can't be used repeatedly and must be done.
When they were ready, the party went into the palace to cry. This is the rule. When the emperor dies, all civil and military officials and officials at all levels have to go to the palace to cry.
At the gate of the palace, Han Jianming separated from Qiu's family members. Before leaving, Han Jianming told ye to take good care of his mother Han Jianming would say that because every time he met with a funeral, he fell ill and brought down a group of people. Especially in this cold day, it's even more painful to go to mourning. Every time they come down, half of them have to fall down. The older ones can't bear to go with them. Although Qiu's body is still good, it may not be able to withstand such a funeral.
Han Jianming's worry is not unreasonable. Qiushi caught cold on this day and started to burn the next day. Han Jianming felt sorry for his mother, so he went directly to the zongrenfu to report the incident, so that Qiu would not go to the harem to cry. Ye and Lu Xiu, on the other hand, go to the palace every day before dawn and come back in the dark. Even if exhausted, no one dares to have half a word to complain, all resist.
When the emperor went to the funeral, ye and Lu Xiu lost a lot of weight.
The emperor is gone, and the crown prince will ascend the throne after he is buried. The relationship between Han Jianming and the crown prince has always been light. In the past, the prince wooed Han Jianming, but he refused. At this meeting, Han Jianming was a little worried and said to Mr. Zhao, "do you think the prince will be jealous?"
Mr. Zhao shook his head and said, "don't worry. When the prince ascends the throne, he must be thinking about how to seize power from Yu Xiang and the Song family. " Although Han Jianming is the Duke of the country, he has little influence. The prince has to take revenge only when his position is firm.
If you don't know that the prince is involved in the Tongcheng tragedy, Mr. Zhao will certainly persuade Han Jianming to take refuge with the prince. After all, the crown prince is the crown prince, and has the ability to take refuge in the crown prince, with a bright future.
Han Jianming gave a sound.
They talked about the situation in the middle of the court again. Before they finished discussing it, they heard the servant girl come to report: "the Lord, the old lady, please come over."
Qiu Shi saw Han Jianming and scolded: "Yuxi was stabbed and almost lost his life. Why didn't you tell me such a big thing?"
Han Jianming flashed a fierce look in his eyes. He kept the news secret all the time. He didn't know which maid who didn't have long eyes told Niang: "Niang, Yuxi is OK. She hurt her arm a little. It's OK. Don't worry?"
Qiu Shi was angry: "you still want to deceive me. What's a little hurt? The dagger that stabbed Yuxi is all coated with poison. You still want to hide it from me." Speaking of this, Qiu's tears came: "this child, how can it be so disastrous!"
Han Jianming pretended to be very angry and said: "Niang, what dagger is coated with poison, who talks nonsense to you? Yuxi is well in Yucheng. Who wants to curse her so maliciously? " About Yuxi poisoning almost killed, absolutely can't tell his mother.
Qiu asked suspiciously, "you didn't cheat me?"
Han Jianming said: "Niang, what do I cheat you to do? I think it's going to be February, and Yuxi's letter should be there. When you read the letter, you will believe that Yuxi is OK. "
Qiushi weighed it in her heart and said, "this is what your second cousin said. She shouldn't talk nonsense!"
Han Jianming revealed disgust in his eyes. Now he told Qiu the whole story. Of course, he hid the poisonous part on the dagger.
Qiushi read Amitabha: "I don't know who is so kind-hearted. They even use those poor children. They are not afraid to go to hell after death." Knowing the reason, Qiu could not say that Yuxi was reckless. After all, the safety of so many children, can not say that Yuxi is wrong.
Han Jianming said: "Niang, it's better to be rare in the Zhou family. Now that they have joined the new emperor, we don't know what will happen in the future. " Han Jianming had no feelings for the Zhou family. This time, the Zhou family took refuge with the prince. How could he have a deep relationship with them.
Qiushi didn't know much about chaotang, but she listened to her son: "if they come back later, I'll let your daughter-in-law entertain them." After a pause, Qiu Shi still asked uneasily, "is Yuxi really OK?"
Han Jianming shook his head and said, "Niang, Yuxi is OK. Don't worry about it."
As soon as the words came down, Han Gao came in and said, "the letter from the old lady, the Duke and the fourth aunt has arrived." This letter was sent by 800 Li express.
Qiu Shi says busily: "give me a look quickly." As long as she read the letter, she will know if Han Jianming lied to her.
When I opened the letter, Qiu was relieved. The handwriting on the letter is Yuxi's. just look at the letter and you will know that Yuxi is OK. How can a dying man write such powerful words.
Han Jianming didn't think that Yuxi sent a letter to him quickly, so he said something unimportant: "Niang, I still have something to deal with."
Qiu Shi said: "business matters, you go quickly!" In addition to worrying about the next far in Yucheng with Han Jianye, life is very comfortable. Today, during the filial piety period, Han Jianming comes to Changle courtyard for lunch every noon and evening. Although Han Jianming won't say nice words to make Qiu happy, his intention is enough to make Qiu happy.
Back in the front yard, Han Jianming opened Yuxi's letter, and then opened it according to the way they agreed. He wrote the words on white paper. After writing, Han Jianming looked at the words on the paper. After a while, Han Jianming said, "go and ask Mr. Zhao to come here."
Mr. Zhao lived nearby and came in less than three minutes. Mr. Zhao asked, "what does the fourth aunt say in the letter
"Drought," Han said
Mr. Zhao didn't understand“ What do you mean See Han Jianming also shake his head, immediately speechless: "fourth aunt this is to play what riddle?"
Han Jianming said, "do you think it may be a drought this year?" Then he shook his head. This is definitely not the meaning. It's something that even qintianjian can't judge. How can Yuxi know? There must be other meaning in it.
Thinking of this, Han Jianming said: "will our way of communication be known? That's why Yu Xi specially wrote these two words? "
Mr. Zhao shook his head. He was not sure about it.
