Ji Lingyun fiercely smashed the teacup on the table and shouted: "Fang'er!"
The servant girl, Fang'er, quickly walked over.
"Go and find the best Attendant s in the palace!" Ji Lingyun ruthlessly threw the teacup on the ground, the porcelain vases were shattered into pieces, and the dark green tea leaves splattered all over, "Let them find a chance to take care of Du Jing, then stuffed him into the carriage of the Western Jade Merchant, so that he will never return to the capital, and the Great Zhou will never return!"
"This …" Fang'er sucked in a breath of cold air.
Xi Yu merchants were heading to the capital of Great Zhou, the camel caravan with Ke Ze, the capital of Xi Yu City.
There was a mountain range far away in the western desert, so people of the Great Zhou would probably not be able to take it.
This... He was clearly trying to take Du Jing's life.
Fang'er remembered that not long ago, Du Jing had been kneeling in the front yard day and night. The rain was so heavy that it could melt a person, but he just kept kneeling and didn't get up, forcing the master and his wife to agree to marry him.
The servants of the Ji Mansion all secretly said that the Fourth Miss was blessed to be able to get someone who truly loved her.
Who knew …
"Are you deaf?" Ji Lingyun was unsatisfied that she did not get a reply after a long time.
"Miss, I heard that Xi Yu was half as long as the capital during the day, that the sun was scorching and the four seasons were dry. Young Master Du is a scholar, I'm afraid he won't be able to return if he goes." Fang'er really couldn't bear it.
"Didn't I just want him to not come back?" Ji Lingyun was a little doubtful. Why did Fang'er say this?
"If he can't come back, then it means he's dead." Fang'er did not even dare to breathe loudly, "At least it's a life."
"What does his life have to do with me?" Ji Lingyun frowned, "The mansion eats so many pigs, lambs, fishes and prawns every day, and so many lives, do I need to care about all of them?"
"This …" Fang'er wanted to say, how could this be the same.
But before she could finish speaking, Ji Lingyun had already slammed her palm on the table: "How about you replace him?"
"No, no, no." Fang'er took a deep breath, "This servant will go right away."
What Fang'er wanted to say was, how could a pig, lamb, fish, and shrimp be compared to a human? However, what she did not know was that in the hearts of Fourth Miss Ji Lingyun, many people were no different from pig, sheep, fish, and shrimp.
Since three days ago, the wet nurse had brought the Twelfth Prince, Zhao Yu, to the Clear Brilliance Hall for a daily meal with the Empress.
On this day, Honorable Yang had arrived together with the Twelfth Prince for the first time.
The lunch was already set up on the table, and the Queen ordered Sui Gu to share it with her and presented it in front of Honorable Yang.
After that, he dismissed the other people in the palace, leaving Sui Gu to wait upon them.
Seeing that she was almost done with the others, Honorable Yang looked at Zhao Yu who was nestling beside Empress, swallowed down the bitterness coming from her nose, and said: "The Empress loves Yu'er, this is really Yu'er's fortune. Chén thinks that it would be better to send Yu'er to the Empress for maintenance, and it would save the child the trouble of running around everyday."
The empress took the Yellow Sunflower Drunken Snow Plum that Sui Gu scooped over, and after carefully eating it, she said at a moderate pace, "I am very happy that you can think like this."
"No matter who accepts the throne, I am still the empress dowager, but you're different. You're just a noble person, and I'm still young, but there's always a time when he grows up, when he grows up, there's a high chance that the new emperor won't be a small part of him, so of course he won't be able to tolerate you."
Honorable Yang nodded. He didn't even dare to take a bite out of the dish. The Empress had clearly indicated Yu'er's future path.
"Since the crown prince has just left and the fifth brother and seventh brother are so angry that the emperor can't eat anymore, you must have a place in the harem in the future if you are able to make such a decision." The Queen changed the subject and waved her hand, allowing Sui Gu to pour a cup of wine. "This cup of wine is for you.
"You know that my heart is only for the sake of your majesty. If your majesty is happy, so am I."
Noble Yang quickly took the glass cup from Sui Gu and drank all the wine in one gulp.
The empress only called herself "I" when she was close to someone else. This was the first time Honorable Yang had ever heard the empress call herself "I", so she was extremely excited. "Sharing the worries of the emperor and the empress, this is the duty of the concubines."
This was what the empress wanted the world to see, and nobleman Yang understood.
After a meal, Honorable Yang left the Hall of Pure Brilliance by himself.
The Queen carried Yu-er who was on her knees and asked Sui Gu, "Is the emperor still in the imperial study?"
Sui Gu nodded her head: "The ministers of the court have already been kept by His Majesty."
The empress smiled coldly. "Then we'll send him a good storekeeper."
Seeing that the empress was about to leave with the Twelfth Prince, Sui Gu hurriedly stepped forward. "Empress, the Shang Shu Clan Mrs. Ji is still waiting outside the palace."
"Why is she here again?" The empress frowned. This woman was really impatient.
"She said that she had already investigated Jin Xiaolou's background. It seems that the woman before her was in a terrible condition and wanted to tell the Empress more about him." Sui Gu bent over.
"There's no need to elaborate. Let her go back." The Queen continued to walk outside, took two steps forward, and then turned and charged towards Sui Gu, "Wait, let her spread the news of that woman's terrible state, and then just wait for Seventh Prince to marry her daughter."
"Yes." Sui Gu replied and left.
The empress personally carried the Twelfth Prince to the imperial study.
Standing outside the door so as not to let the eunuchs pass, he heard the sound of the teacup falling from the hall. Only then did he put on a gentle smile and walk in.
"Is His Majesty troubled?" The empress entered and opened her mouth.
When the emperor saw who it was, he let out a long breath and rubbed his swollen forehead.
The empress hurriedly placed the Twelfth Prince on the ground and leaned over to massage him for the emperor.
The Twelfth Prince was also sensible. Lying beside the Emperor, imitating Empress, he clenched his fists and continued to punch the Emperor's legs. After punching the Emperor twice, he raised his head again and asked the Emperor: "Royal Father, did your son receive a good beating?"
The Emperor burst out laughing.
Just as he laughed out loud, he suddenly coughed, causing the empress to hurriedly stroke his back.
"Good, good, good." The emperor stopped coughing and his face flushed red. "Yuer, good job! Only you are still concerned about the Royal Father, unlike your two brothers who only care about the throne of the Royal Father!"
At the mention of this, the Emperor became angry again, the veins on his neck bulging.
"Your Majesty, why did you mention this to Twelfth?" The empress purposefully rebuked him. "Old Fifth, Old Seventh also wholeheartedly filial towards you, Your Majesty. Even if you're younger, you still have to learn from two older brothers."
"Learn what?" His Majesty was so angry that he almost coughed again. Learn to frame each other? "
Seeing this, the empress quickly ordered people to bring the Twelfth Prince to the imperial garden to play. She then leaned on the emperor and lightly rubbed his chest. "Your Majesty, don't always get angry over the matters of our children. Doctor Miao has already said that it's bad for your health."
The emperor held the empress's hand. "Sigh, you saw how seventh brother kneeled down and begged us to postpone the crown prince's funeral for ten days, saying that we wanted to investigate the real culprit who killed the crown prince. Who knew that this would turn into two brothers biting each other? "But I have no choice. I don't have many children, and I don't have much time left."
"Ol 'Five was pretty good. Out of all the young children, he was the most similar to me. It's a pity that his mother, Jiang Consort, had a lowly status. The ministers of the imperial court wanted us to put the throne up every day. Who do you think we have to put it up to? " The Emperor's face grew darker and darker. "It's my fault that you and I have no children …"
The empress's face was filled with heartache as she embraced the emperor's shoulders. "Your Majesty, you shouldn't tell these things to chenqie."
"I can only tell you." The emperor closed his eyes, "You are different from them. They all entered the palace because of me, and the only one who came is you, it was me … It was I who coaxed you into entering the palace, I've let you down. "
"Your Majesty, it is already an extreme joy for chenqie to be able to spend her entire life with Your Majesty." The empress's eyes were filled with affection. "Besides, chenqie has a child now. Honorable Yang has not been well lately and has raised her under my knee. From now on, she is our child."
"Yu-er?" The Emperor abruptly opened his eyes, recalling that young and clean face from before.
"Yes, Yu-er." The empress seemed to be immersed in her mother's love. "After this year, Xi-er will be seven years old."
"Seven years old, that's about it." The emperor's gaze sharpened. "With you helping Yu-er, Zhen won't worry too much."
