Zhu Yijun went up to the court as usual, and the palace maid entered the hall to clean up the mess. Wang Rong and the others calculated that there was not enough time for her to rest, and furthermore, they were not too tired to support her.
Rinsing palace maid was someone who had come to the Qianqing Palace Hall early in the morning to wait for news, and brought along Wang Rong and something that should be used to. She used the peppermint paste to daub it over Wang Rong and her painting. "The Empress will feel a bit more spirited after smelling this fragrance."
Wang Rong He nodded with a smile and said, "You can't let others see that I'm not in good spirits."
In order to cover up the dark green in front of her eyes, she had used a powder whiter than usual. All her eyebrows and mouth had to be drawn heavier than usual. She wore a jewel hairpin and a royal robe. The princess was a bit uneasy last night, but she woke up early today and didn't see the Empress, so she started to cry and make a ruckus. "
Wang Rong clapped her hands and took Rong Chang over, "Rong Chang, are you unhappy that you haven't seen Mother?"
Rong Chang replied as she grabbed the beads around Wang Rong's neck with both hands, and then quieted down.
"Empress, this servant carries the princess to the wet nurse's place. I didn't sleep well last night, so today I can make up for it." No disease.
"It's fine." Wang Rong He said, "I'll let her stay here and have breakfast with His Majesty. At that time, we can also have some rest together."
Nutty frowned in disapproval. "This is too much affecting the Empress's rest."
Wang Rong held Rong Chang's chubby little hand, "Can Rong Chang sleep with Mother later?"
Rong Chang stuttered twice.
Wang Rong and watched Aunt Baozhang instructing her young eunuch to turn the pavilion into a new one, and even smiled as she said to Aunt Baozhang, "Put the treasures farther away, where His Majesty can conveniently place some ordinary ones, or else they would have all fallen. What a pity."
Bao Zhang quietly told Wang Rong He, "Actually, this has always been our arrangement. Empress, don't tell His Majesty about it."
Wang Rong smiled in amusement. "That's good. Yesterday, when I saw that piece of broken porcelain, I was heartbroken."
"The Empress wants more Qianqing Palace. When the Empress comes, she is always very relaxed and happy." Baozhang said.
"Why isn't His Majesty relaxing when so many ladies have come?" Wang Rong asked with a smile.
"How can the rest of the empress compare to the empress?" Baozhang said.
When Zhu Yijun left the imperial court, Wang Rong who was carrying Rong Chang came to receive him with a smile on her face. It was a peaceful time and nothing happened.
Zhu Yijun couldn't help but laugh as well. He stepped forward to receive Rong Chang. Why is Rong Chang here? "
"From yesterday to this morning, Rong Chang did not see the father Queen, so this little brat was making a ruckus to come over." Wang Rong said with a smile.
"Pity my son, he definitely didn't sleep well yesterday." Zhu Yijun said tenderly.
"Your Majesty, please have breakfast." Wang Rong He said.
Rong Chang sat in her embrace, and would occasionally open her mouth to receive food, but she was evidently a little sleepy. She would stop eating after a bit, and slowly close her eyes, and then suddenly stop, then stand up again after a while, with her mouth moving while pursing her lips.
Zhu Yijun looked at it very happily, Wang Rong said in annoyance, "Your Majesty, don't feed it anymore, Rong Chang is thinking that she is going to sleep, it would be bad if the food blocked her esophagus."
"Then go to my bedchamber to sleep." Zhu Yijun said.
Wang Rong shook his head and said, "Let the wet nurse carry me back to the Kunning Palace. His Majesty and I have to take a good rest after returning from the Zhe'an Palace."
At the mention of Zhe An Palace, Zhu Yijun's smile turned cold. He reached out and caressed Rong Chang's face, but did not say anything else.
After eating breakfast, Wang Rong changed out of the uniform that Rong Chang did not come in just now and donned her clothes. When the last jade pendant was hung up, Wang Rong and her large arms hugged Zhu Yijun.
She did not say anything, and Zhu Yijun did not say anything either. The two of them embraced each other for a while, then smiled at each other and went to the chariot s to greet Zhe An Palace.
Empress Dowager Li did not sleep well last night. All sorts of thoughts surfaced in her mind, but she knew that her problem was right in front of her. Her Majesty was a gentle and resolute person. Ever since he was a child, he had been familiar with history books, so he would not do anything that was not filial. But this time, the matter was too serious. She never would have thought that the emperor would actually believe that she and Zhang Juzheng were not tainted.
As long as he believed it, no one would convince him not to.
Would her son come to force her to death? For the sake of decency, there were a thousand ways to allow her to die decently. If Her Majesty was concerned about her reputation, perhaps her reputation would be preserved.
Will Your Majesty?
Even if Her Majesty did not force her to her death, she would not be as close to and trusting her as she was in the past. Furthermore, she should also forget about speaking out in the imperial court, as she would only close the door and live the rest of her life as the Queen of Bodhisattva.
She had tried the taste of power, and if she were to lose nothing, she would not be willing to give up. However, there was no other way.
"Empress, His Majesty and the empress have come to pay their respects." palace maid said through the curtain. Yesterday, His Majesty had come to speak with the empress dowager, but all of a sudden, no one left the room. Many people had heard the words and felt uneasy, afraid of being silenced.
"Just tell them that This Dowager isn't feeling well. Let them go back." The Empress Dowager Li said.
The palace maid wanted to say something but stopped in her tracks. It was obvious that she wanted to advise the Empress a little. However, the Empress Dowager Li had a lot of power, so she could only sigh and spread the news outside.
"Since mother is not feeling well, His Majesty and I need to go take a look." She sent palace maid to get an imperial physician, then resolutely pulled Zhu Yijun into the Empress Dowager Li's bedchamber. Separated by the heavy curtains, Zhu Yijun and Wang Rong kneeled down and greeted them.
Wang Rong He asked a few questions about the Empress Dowager Li's body.
"This Dowager is fine, but no one listens to what she says. Since the empress dared to charge into the palace, why didn't she dare to step forward and open the curtains to see if this Dowager could do so?" Empress Dowager Li's mocking words came out from behind the curtains.
"Is it because we spoke improperly yesterday that caused the mother to be so anxious and anxious?" Zhu Yijun asked, "Your son is unfilial. He came here today to seek forgiveness from mother."
"I don't dare." "Since Your Majesty has decided, this one shall wait for Your Majesty's decision. Whether it is the white silk, or the Jiu Jiu that passed away, this one will wait."
"I do not wish for mother to die. I want mother to live a long and long life. "Continue to be filial to my mother." Zhu Yijun said, "If mother does not consider us, nor King Lu and Rei An, nor the two princesses who have already married off. Although I am regretful, but I will accept your fate and consider it as my parents' fate."
Zhu Yijun kowtowed to Empress Dowager Li and left.
Wang Rong was unable to do so and could only comfort the empress dowager with a few words. His Majesty knew his mistake. The empress dowager was magnanimous, so there was no need to bother with her.
After exiting Ci'an Palace, Zhu Yijun looked at the chariot that carried Wang Rong and the others to the Kunning Palace and said to Chen Ju, "An Zun's palace maid is a contagious disease, all the palace maid are ill and dead. The empress dowager is unlucky enough to be infected.
"Yes." Chen Ju accepted the order and went forward.
Wang Rong slept for a long time with her sweet, soft daughter. She woke up to find that there was an outbreak of an infectious disease in the Palace of Tzion. "It's too dangerous," she said. Gu Yanxi said worriedly, "To think that palace maid who comes to visit their families would have a sickness and be able to come to the Ci'an Palace to serve them. Everyone has passed the message to the empress dowager, and even the empress dowager has been surrounded by them."
"Carry Rong Chang away from me. I only left the Palace of Peace in the morning." In the blink of an eye, Wang Rong had thought of the key point, but since the emperor wanted to put on a show, she would cooperate with him. "Send orders to the imperial concubines of the harem, instruct them when they need to go into seclusion for the next few days."
"Order the sixth division's twenty-four captains to clean the palace and spread vinegar throughout the palace to disinfect and protect against the plague."
"Imperial Lower Consort Lan, Imperial Lower Consort Jing, Imperial Lower Consort Liu needs to go to the imperial physician and wait for his orders for 24 hours."
"Inform Palace Manager Cui to fill the empty space served by the Ci'an Palace as soon as possible, and find someone who will serve him honestly."
"Order the Imperial Physician Bureau to make a epidemic prevention soup. The entire palace has to eat it."
"Have the imperial physician go to Qianqing Palace and ask for His Majesty's safety vein."
After confirming that there was no mistake, Gu Yanxi was about to leave. "Wait." Wang Rong She called out to her.
"From today onwards, the palace rules have increased by a bit. Anyone who returns to the palace after leaving the palace cannot get close to Master within three days to serve him. Anyone who has an answer mission must not speak for more than two hours. "
"Yes." Gu Yanxi said.
In the assembly today, Zhu Yijun had agreed to the censor's request to impeach Zhang Juzheng, and had sent people to investigate if the matter regarding the impeachment was true. The events that followed made him tired. He slept until the lights came on and woke up with a faint smell of vinegar on the tip of his nose.
"Where did the vinegar come from?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"The empress said that the illness at Ci'an Palace came suddenly, just in case. The Empress ordered the entire palace to be swept clean, and then sterilized with vinegar." Zhang Cheng said.
Zhu Yijun was startled, he didn't believe that Wang Rong and the time when she couldn't see through the disease in Ci An Palace was fake. But then, he suddenly thought of Zitong's intention, to have someone hand over a torch after setting fire to him, this was not a bad feeling, "Where is the Queen now?"
"The empress is at the Palace of Tzu An watching over the Holy Mother Esteemed Empress Dowager." Zhang Cheng said, "empress is truly the model of all the women in the world."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while, "We will drive Ci'an Palace, and we will visit the mother."
