Chapter 108 Announces her entry into the palace
This is asking him to intimidate his subjects as the emperor!
Is it this little lady Xiao Jinyu again?
Chen Xu's eyes flashed with sternness. It was because of this little lady's painting that he ordered people to find out the many things that King Shixing did to disrupt the government and harm the people.
It can be seen that the current result is exactly what the young lady wants to see.
Did this little lady actually plot against him, the emperor of a country?
Thinking about it, Chen Xu shook his head bitterly and immediately drove back to Taicheng and entered the Xiyuan of the harem.
In the Xiyuan, Concubine Peng Guifei, the biological mother of King Shixing, was crying so hard.
"Your Majesty, how is our prince? How is he injured? Has your Majesty arrested the assassin and punished him?"
Concubine Peng's repeated questions made Chen Xu very impatient, and an extremely dull atmosphere spread in Concubine Peng's Yuqing Palace.
"You really are nothing like her at all. No, how can you be like her? You are not even one ten thousandth of her..."
He suddenly murmured and stretched out his hand to pinch Concubine Peng's chin.
"Except for this face..."
But except for this face, there is nothing left!
"Your Majesty, have I done something wrong? It is not my fault that I have made Your Majesty unhappy, but I am also distressed and worried about our emperor!"
"You didn't do anything wrong, but it was precisely because you didn't do anything that you raised your son like this..."
"What happened to Shu Ling?"
Concubine Peng was even more worried, couldn't help but feel sad, and started to cry again with tears in her eyes.
Chen Xu suddenly stood up and stood with his hands behind his back.
"Shu Ling will never become the prince. No matter how much I prefer him, my preference can only go so far. If he dares to cause trouble again in the future..."
"No, Your Majesty, Shu Ling has been the most obedient to you since he was a child. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he was also the most filial to his parents. He often made us laugh when he was young. Doesn't Your Majesty like his temperament the most? "
As Concubine Peng spoke, she seemed to recall some happy past events, and a smile appeared on her tearful face.
Seeing such a pale smile and such a bright yet dignified face, Chen Xu's heart suddenly softened. He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Concubine Peng's face, and said softly: "That's all, wait. He is feeling better, let him come to the palace to see you!"
"Your Majesty doesn't blame me anymore. I know that your Majesty still loves me..."
Concubine Peng said, and she snuggled into Chen Xu's arms very shyly. Chen Xu didn't know what he was thinking about, but he didn't refuse. After a while, he seemed to remember something and pushed Peng away: "I still have something to do, so I'll do it today. I won’t eat at your place anymore!”
"His Majesty--"
Amid Concubine Peng's reluctant call, Chen Xu strode out of the Yuqing Palace and went to the Tai Chi Hall.
But before he had gone far, Concubine Peng's face turned cold.
"Go and find out what's going on? Your Majesty went to the Shiheung Palace and what did you do?"
"yes!"
A chamberlain replied and immediately exited Yuqing Palace.
And just as he stepped out of Yuqing Palace, there was the sound of broken porcelain behind him, and the chamberlain broke out in a cold sweat and hurried away.
"My Lady, please don't get angry, or you may hurt yourself!" the old woman next to Concubine Peng advised.
"After so many years, he still can't forget that face. No, he only likes my face!"
"My Majesty, the love of the Emperor does not belong to one person, so why do you care how many people live in his heart? People who have died can't even compare to you, My Majesty!"
"No, the dead are the scariest people. She will always be there. Your Majesty has been troubled by nightmares for many years because of her!"
Not long after, the chamberlain who went to inquire about the news came back.
"Empress——"
The chamberlain salutes.
"explain--"
"Your Majesty went to the Royal Palace of Shiheung. He just scolded His Highness, and then punished one of His Highness's followers. In addition, General Tan Qitan, who was originally sent by His Highness to capture the assassin, was also dismissed from his post and punished by His Majesty. Qiu Hou asked to beheaded!"
Concubine Peng's body went limp and she almost fell to the ground. The maid next to her immediately stepped over to steady her.
"Why is Your Majesty like this? Why didn't you arrest the assassin, but instead reprimanded King Shiheung?"
"Mother, even though your Majesty is the emperor, you must listen to public opinion. This time, your highness coerced the little lady first, so..." "What are you talking about?"
Concubine Peng didn't believe that her son was a heinous person, so she shouted loudly, and the chamberlain knelt down with a bang, not daring to say any more.
"Then what's the extent of my son's injuries? Have you got any information from Dr. Yao Zheng?"
"The doctor said... that he will try his best... whether His Highness can recover depends on his luck..."
"What are you talking about? Is it because you can't cure it but you don't want to admit that you are a quack, so you come up with such an excuse?"
Concubine Peng's worry and anger surged into her heart.
"Is it all because of that miracle doctor lady and that Xiao Jinyu? Is it all because of her that my son is like this?"
She suddenly turned around and looked at the servant who was lying on the ground, and ordered in a cold voice: "Then according to the Queen's decree, let her come to the palace to see her!"
Queen Liu Jingyan has a very gentle and considerate temperament. She never competes with the concubines in the harem and even treats them as sisters. The style of the mother of a country can be said to be fully reflected in this queen.
Liu Jingyan was not only gentle and considerate to others, and was deeply loved by the emperor, but he also took the initiative to select talented and beautiful women for his husband as the emperor. If the concubines in the harem were pregnant, Liu Jingyan would take more care of them until the prince and princess were safely born. Chen Xu, who was nearly forty years old, already had more than forty princes, not including princesses.
The imperial concubine Peng was also very good at building a close relationship with Liu Jingyan. She often went to the queen's Xianyang Palace to chat with her, and she would share with her any interesting folk stories or fresh food she got.
"Your Majesty, I heard that a miracle doctor has appeared in Jiankang City recently. It is said that she is a young lady. She is very beautiful and very interesting. I have always suffered from heart disease, and the imperial doctor cannot cure it. I have this old problem, so I really want to see this miracle doctor and have her take my pulse.
And Your Majesty..."
Here comes another pause: Your Majesty often suffered from nightmares when he was a hostage in the State of Zhou. Later, when he returned to the State of Chen, he suffered another assassination and suffered from headaches.
However, His Majesty's health is a matter that is not publicized. Although the two of them knew it well, they did not dare to talk about it. Therefore, Concubine Peng changed the topic again: "Mother, I have also heard that several A few days ago, the envoys from the State of Zhou came to our State of Chen and held a banquet in the East Palace. His Majesty ordered the young lady to come to the East Palace to see him. His Majesty also asked the young lady to paint a picture of the country. Now he has placed the painting in the study. Among them, I often take it out for viewing and tasting alone.”
When she said this, she saw Liu Jingyan's expression change.
"Concubine Peng, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to infer the holy will without authorization?"
"Hey, I made a mistake, I deserve to die!" He pretended to slap me, but at the same time he begged in a low voice as if he was extremely aggrieved, "Your Majesty, I really want to see this miraculous doctor, please help me." Help me!"
"It's not that we can't meet a folk woman. It's just Concubine Peng. If we meet her once, we can only meet her once. Don't have any other thoughts?"
Concubine Peng was overjoyed and said hurriedly:
"Yes, I will remember your words carefully!"
"Then let me pass on my decree and announce that the lady of the miracle doctor can come to my Xianyang Palace to meet her!"
…
"Your Majesty, you have been standing for a long time, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?"
Chamberlain Wu was the old man next to Chen Xu and the person who understood the Holy Will best. When he saw Chen Xu frowning in deep thought at this moment, although his emotions were suppressed, he must have been in extreme pain.
The son he loved the most had ended up like this He ended up being disabled and dying, but as the emperor, he was powerless. After all, the origin of all these disasters was King Shiheung's disorderly government, harming the people, and lustful lust.
"I have dismissed Tan Qi, who led the troops to round up her Xiao residence, and sentenced him to beheading. Is this an explanation for her?"
"If I order her to be the imperial physician in the palace, I wonder if she will be willing?"
If you were a palace doctor, it would be a matter of course for you to treat the prince.
Wu's chamberlain was well aware of the worries in his heart, so he continued: "Your Majesty, I heard that this little lady's mother used to be a royal physician in the palace, and she made special trips to treat the empresses and princesses in the palace. Your Majesty appointed her to be a royal physician. Then, It’s also that little lady’s blessing!”
Before he finished speaking, Chen Xu's face suddenly darkened.
Only then did Wu Wu remember that when Xiao Luan, the young lady's mother, went to the palace to see a doctor for the princess, she was framed and caused such a thing that ruined her reputation.
Although His Majesty was in Zhou Dynasty at that time, and the matter had nothing to do with His Majesty, the incident happened in the palace garden, and the young lady’s biological father, Han Zigao, was still punished by His Majesty...
Chamberlain Wu suddenly sweated, knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, I made a mistake and deserved death!"
After a brief silence, Chen Xu said: "No need! When you get up, there is no need to order her to enter the palace!"
The emperor did not blame him, and Wu's servant was overjoyed and stood up.
At this time, he could no longer see what the emperor was thinking. He could only see that his expression was cloudy and uncertain, and there was an undercurrent surging in his eyes.
