Chapter 151

It suddenly occurred to me that Yujiao was sent back by the Imperial City Secretary at Choushi (2:[-]) last night. As soon as she got home, she locked herself in the room and refused to see anyone. When she asked her what happened, she refused to do anything. Said that the maid who was following her also disappeared, and a sense of uneasiness emerged in her heart.

Because the Imperial City Secretary was involved, he didn't dare to go out to inquire about news at will.

After waiting all night, nothing happened, so I let go of my heart.

When the empress was about to summon her, he didn't think about it for a moment, after all, no matter what Yujiao did, she would never get involved with the empress.

"I have always admired such a girl of Lan Xinhui's temperament, so I specially prepared a gift for her." Empress Lin winked at Xiangyu.

Xiangyu personally took the catalpa box from a palace maid and sent it to Yan Yushi.

Just by looking at the box, one can tell that the contents inside must be very valuable.

The Queen's gift is undeniable, Yan Yushi was a little at a loss, quickly took the box, and knelt down to thank: "My daughter, thank you Queen for your kindness."

"Well, but," Empress Lin smiled, and changed the topic, "I heard that Miss Yan Er has been in poor health, it's a pity that such a good woman, otherwise she has such a character and appearance, she would be a princess in the third prince's mansion. The side concubine also made it."

"The little girl's body doesn't have..." is inappropriate.

Faced with the majestic eyes of the empress who raised his head and looked over, Yan Yushi's unfinished words were also swallowed into his throat. He couldn't help lowering his head, and a fine layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

He was born in a poor family, and with the current lintel of Yan's family, it is absolutely impossible for him to win over the third prince, but the queen empress insisted that a daughter of the Yan family can be the third prince's side concubine.

It was clearly a deliberate flattery.

"What did Yan Yushi want to say just now?" Empress Lin casually withdrew her gaze.

Yan Yushi was dripping with cold sweat: "No, no."

Seemingly satisfied with his understanding, Empress Lin smiled again: "I heard that Yan Yushi was born in a poor family, and was scouted by the local for his talents. , was promoted to rank five censor."

The rank of censors is not high, most of them are of the sixth or seventh rank. Because they are in charge of supervision, impeachment and suggestions, they are in charge of the court's discipline, so the censors have a great say in the court, and few people in the court will offend them.

Therefore, no matter on any occasion, there will be people from Yushitai accompanying him.

Yan Yushi has been in Yushitai for at least ten or twenty years, and he has only been mixed up to the fifth rank. This qualification can only be said to be mediocre, and it is really not outstanding.

Yan Yushi didn't dare to speak, his mind was full of thoughts.

"I heard that there is an old censor in Yushitai who is going to become an official." Empress Lin looked at him and said warmly, "I think you have been in Yushitai for many years. You are practical and hardworking, and you are very suitable for the old censor. lack," she asked softly, "what does Yan Yushi think?"

Yan Yushi's first reaction was surprise, and then he calmed down.

Since the last time, General Qi openly ran against Zhou Yushi in the court hall, occupying the latrine without shitting, and put forward a suggestion in the hall, asking His Majesty to draw up an imperial edict, and let Yushitai impeach those officials who are too old to be official , His Majesty thought it made sense, and actually issued an edict.

During this period of time, several old censors in Yushitai, fearing that they would be impeached, would not be guaranteed at the end of the festival, they all submitted papers to resign.

If His Majesty is pleasing to the eye, stay.

Not pleasing to the eye.

The official positions of several old censors are also the fourth rank.

He used to be at the fifth rank, and the most likely to make up is the fourth rank, surpassing the subordinate ranks, directly advancing to the direct rank, and advancing two ranks in a row.

"Thank you, Empress, for your kindness." Yan Yushi hurriedly bowed down.

Empress Lin felt at ease, and said distressedly: "However, you still have family affairs that you haven't dealt with clearly. This official position will take care of you first. Your Majesty often says that if you cultivate yourself, govern your family, govern the country and the world, how can you manage family affairs if you can't get them together?" Serving loyally for His Majesty? Lord Yan, you should clear up the family affairs before the Dragon Boat Festival, lest this rare vacancy will be too late."

After all, Yan Yushi has been in the officialdom for many years, how could he not know what the "household affairs" referred to by the empress empress refer to, and what "cleaning up" means.

The empress's reward to Yan Yujiao was life-buying money.

To this day, he still doesn't know what happened last night that made the empress so secretive that his daughter's life was decided in a few words.

But he dared not ask.

Yan Yushi kowtowed tremblingly: "Chen, I will definitely clean up the housework, materials, and cooking."

He is just a little fifth-rank official with no real power. He sacrificed a daughter in exchange for the lives of the whole family and the opportunity for promotion. He has no right to refuse at all.

……

The eldest princess didn't return all night, and Yingluo and the others were also very anxious. They didn't close their eyes all night. When Maoshi, Yingluo couldn't hold her breath anymore. She hesitated whether to go to the courtyard of Mr. Ji to ask, and was worried that the nearby Imperial City Secretary would find out. , noticed the clue.

After thinking about it for a while, Yingluo decided to go to Master Qi Biao, and said that the Eldest Princess was feeling unwell, and asking Master Qi Biao to come and have a look would not arouse the suspicion of the Secretary of the Imperial City.

In this way, it is impossible to hide the fact that the eldest princess did not return overnight.

But the eldest princess didn't return all night, and it was really unconvincing to just wait like this with the eldest attendant next to Mr. Ji holding a ring and saying a few words.

Just when Yingluo was going to look for Young Master Qi Biao, Mr. Ji sent the eldest princess back, wrapped her tightly in a cloak, and carried her back.

Directly avoiding the guards of the palace courtyard, he sent the eldest princess to the room.

Yingluo couldn't describe the shock in her heart.

Ji Ruxuan placed the eldest princess in the bed and covered her with a thin quilt.

"The eldest princess has been frightened and is still in a coma. You stay outside the palace and don't do unnecessary things." Ji Ruxuan's eyes were slightly condensed, and there was a biting coldness in her eyes. "She will wake up in about half an hour. .”

Under his cold gaze, Yingluo felt like meat on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered, thinking that the eldest princess trusted Young Master Ji so much, and Young Master Ji had indeed sent the eldest princess back. It's not easy to do extra things, so let's stay calm and wait until Chen Shi.

When Jiang Fuguang woke up, it was already daylight.

She opened her eyes wide and stared blankly at the top of the bed. She was stunned for a long time, and her out-of-focus eyes gradually became clear, and her head felt dull pain, as if someone had chiseled it.

What happened last night?
In the heavily guarded palace, she was plotted against, stunned by others, and almost belittled by Ge Lisi. It was Ji Ruxuan who rescued her and took her to Qingquanyuan.

The spring water was so cold that it soaked into her bones, but she still couldn't dispel the medicinal properties of Jinfeng Yulu. Ji Ruxuan couldn't find the antidote, so she struggled to hold on.

Later Ji Ruxuan said, "I'll give you the antidote."
