Chapter 601： Die for grace

Chapter 601 Death for grace

Soon, Manager Yi brought people out and took the Wu family to Kunning Palace.

The emperor and the queen were waiting. Seeing the old marquis like this, even the emperor frowned.

The little bit of unhappiness I felt because of being persecuted has faded away...

The queen ignored the rules and cried loudly, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so seriously ill?"

The Crown Prince's wife was angry, and she said rudely to her daughter: "The old man suddenly heard that your brother was asked to join the army, and he was so anxious that something bad happened.

"I came outside the palace several times to ask for an audience, but you refused to summon him. Your grandfather became worse and worse. He became like this in just seven or eight days."

"Mother, I am not...I am..." The queen couldn't say that she was busy preparing to conceive and give birth to a child, so she could only wipe away her tears.

The emperor coughed twice and called General Manager Yi to quickly call the imperial doctor.

Soon, three or four old doctors with white beards came. After kowtowing, they began to diagnose the old man's pulse.

It's a pity that several people were busy and all looked bad.

As I get older, I am afraid of violent mood swings such as great joy and great sorrow.

Lao Houye had a stroke caused by being out of breath, and it was very serious as soon as it started. From now on, he could only lie in bed and need someone to take care of him all the time.

With good care, you can live a few more years.

If you are neglected, you will have to wait for a year and a half until the oil in the lamp dries up, and then you will go back to the west...

But this is the case, but it cannot be said like this.

The eldest imperial doctor said carefully: "The old Marquis is getting older. Maybe it was because of the cool breeze blowing recently and the bad breath that made him lie down. Let's prescribe some warming and tonic medicines." If you take care of it slowly and take good care of it, it may recover in three to five years.”

There was not a single fool in the room who understood the hidden meaning of these words.

That means that the old Marquis is hopeless and should wait to die.

The Queen cried even harder, and the Crown Prince and his wife also had red circles in their eyes.

By chance, at this time, the old marquis suddenly became energetic. Seeing that the emperor was also there, he stretched out his hand to grab it.

The emperor hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward.

Sure enough, as soon as the old Marquis took hold of his hand, his eyes were filled with prayers, "Huo... Sha, Wu Yan..."

When he really loved Sun Xinshi, the old man was half the corner of his mouth, and the emperor was vague, but his grandson's name was clear.

The emperor finally relented and said: "Old Marquis, please rest assured and recuperate. I am pardoning Wu Yan and he does not have to join the army."

The old Marquis breathed a sigh of relief, put down his hand, and closed his eyes.

The prince and his wife were both crazy with joy. Finally, their son no longer had to die.

Although there was an amnesty, they also knew that this was what their father had sacrificed his life to get back, so the prince quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you for your compassion, Your Majesty, but the civil and military forces of the entire court are supporting the Northern Expedition, and our Wu family cannot stay out of it.

“This child Wu Yan is indeed useless, and sending him to the army will be a hindrance. Therefore, I am willing to offer two thousand loads of grain at home to share the worries of the emperor and Tianwu.”

The emperor nodded, raised his hand and said, "Get up, go back and take good care of the old marquis."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty." The prince dared to stand up and felt completely relieved.

After chatting for a while, the imperial doctor prescribed the medicine. After the emperor saw it in person, he left.

Although the old marquis and the prince are the elders of the queen, they are still outsiders. It is not easy to stay here and leave the palace. But the prince’s wife stayed.

After everyone in the room had left, Mrs. Shizi couldn't bear it any longer, and she opened her mouth with a lot of complaints.

“Empress, although you have entered the palace and become the mother of a country, you are still a girl from our Wu family. The family treats you very well. How can you be so cruel and ignore me at a time like this?

"Brother Yan is your biological brother. How can you watch him go to the military camp to die? Previously, your second aunt insisted on marrying Lian Yatou to Xintinghou, which already made Xintinghou disgusted. If your brother is under Xintinghou's hand, , I am afraid that the first one will be sent to the knife!

“I came here to see you again and again, and the banknotes were worth several hundred taels, but you didn’t even show your face?!”

The queen felt guilty when she heard this, but she was also aggrieved.

Last time, she begged the emperor several times about her cousin, and the emperor got angry.

Except for remembering how to treat her with some dignity in front of others, other times she simply treated her as nothing.

Not only can’t her family help her fight for favor, but they also have to hold her back in various ways.

Just like this time of conscription, she thought that the children and grandchildren of hundreds of officials and dignitaries in the court were all on the line of conscription, and someone would definitely come up with a solution.

Whether it’s donating money, or writing a letter together to plead for mercy, all the family needs to do is follow suit.

I just didn’t expect that the courtiers were reluctant to cut the meat and delayed it for so long, which actually made the family anxious, and grandpa was about to die...

Had she known this, she would have asked for mercy even if the emperor was completely disgusted with him!

She held her mother's hand and whispered: "Mom, I also have difficulties. The relationship between me and the emperor is getting worse and worse, and the emperor's treatment of our family is becoming more and more perfunctory. In the final analysis, it is because I did not give birth to a legitimate son.

"If I give birth to a legitimate son, no one in this harem can surpass me. Even the emperor will come to our family several times for the legitimate son, and he will reward our family."

“So, recently I have been resting, conditioning my body and drinking medicinal soup, and I have paid less attention to my family.”

Mrs. Shizi's eyes lit up when she heard this, remembering that the emperor's legitimate son would almost be made a prince, and her daughter would be the queen mother from now on. That would be the most prosperous time of the Wu family!

All the anger in her heart immediately dissipated, she held her daughter's hand tightly and asked: "You are right, it is exactly what it should be, but... will it be effective?"

The queen smiled bitterly and said, "No, maybe it will take a while longer."

"Oh, we can't wait any longer. You are not young anymore. If you keep waiting, it will be even more difficult for you to give birth." Mrs. Shizi was anxious. She secretly looked at the door and said in a low voice: "Just wait, I'm here." I’ll also look for any good recipes for you outside.”

“Is it useful?” The queen hesitated.

“It must be useful, wait until I find out.”

The Crown Prince’s wife took care of everything, for the sake of her daughter, for the sake of the family, and even more for the son who needed her daughter’s care!

Let’s not talk about the commotion and conspiracy in Kunning Palace, but just talk about the broken gold beach. Jiayin was tested by Doctor Zhang in the morning and was finally released. He saw a bunch of women sitting under the eaves of the house.

Original Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying, Mrs. Wen, Wenjuan, and even Huiniang and Sister-in-law Liu were all sitting together.

There were a large pile of bean pods surrounded among them, and they were shelling the beans while chatting.

Needless to say, it was about parenting again, because Wenjuan's face was already very red.

Jiayin ran forward, hugged grandma, said hello and ran to the Ye family yard to find Ye Shan.

 She had planned to stock up on food for a long time, but there were constant trivial matters at home, so she never had time to make arrangements. Today, she took advantage of a little free time and hurriedly gave instructions.

The Marquis has gone into the city, and Ye Shan has nothing to do, sharpening his sword for the Marquis.

This sword is the Japanese war that Jiayin took out from space, and it has always been used by the Marquis.

There is no martial arts practitioner who doesn’t like good weapons. Ye Shan finally caught the opportunity and was already smiling after struggling from morning to this time...
