I can't die!I haven't ruled the world yet!

Chapter 95 The Old Duke Has Gone...

After lunch, Rong Cen took a nap in the bedroom for a while, and then returned to the Hall of Renzheng.

I have never seen such a diligent emperor like her!

It's just that after less than a moment of diligence, Rong Cen, who was staring at the numerous civil officials' memorials, began to feel sleepy again.

What evil did she do in her previous life that she should be punished to read ancient Chinese in small print?

Rong Cen called Wan Li to quickly make a pot of herbal tea for her to refresh her mind. The latter persuaded: "Your Majesty, the early spring turns warm and cold, and herbal tea hurts your body. Your Majesty is the king of a country, so you should take care of your dragon body!"

Listen, it's more and more like Zhou Geng's nagging.

Sure enough, it's not that the slave is not good, but that she is too approachable and tolerant.

Then Rong Cen showed his face, Wan Li was terrified immediately, and he didn't dare to say anything.

She pinched her eyebrows and waited for a stick of incense before Wan Li arrived late with herbal tea and a message.

"Your Majesty, Wen Zi (tiāo) please see me."

"Wen Youzi?" The rumored "Wen Taozi"?
Rong Cen became interested, and drank a cup of herbal tea in one gulp. The bitter taste filled his mouth, accompanied by bursts of coolness, which was more exciting than the high-end single-product essential oil.

"Chen Wenzhao sees His Majesty."

"Exemption."

The person who came was wearing a crescent white robe and a jade pendant that symbolized the Wen family around his waist. He looked good, as gentle as jade, modest and respectful.

It was only when he got up that Rong Cen saw Wen Zhao's face clearly.It doesn't quite match his name, and he tends to be a frail scholar, but he is young and prosperous, and he is quite high-spirited.

It's just that it's a bit out of tune with Jiangmen Wen's.

Unfamiliar with the person, Rong Cen didn't give him a seat or exchange greetings, he just asked indifferently: "Wen Youzi is asking to see you, what's the matter?"

Wen Zhao's face was filled with grief and sorrow, and his tone was mournful, "Your Majesty, the Duke of the Kingdom went away last night. I entered the palace to report the funeral, and secondly, to ask Your Majesty to allow the Empress Dowager and Concubine Wen Shu to come out." Palace funeral..."

But Rong Cen didn't know Wen Zhao, but when it came to Zhen Guogong, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Wen Shu, he knew the relationship.

Zhen Guogong is the eldest brother of the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Wen Shu of Chaoyang Palace is the granddaughter of Zhen Guogong, the grandniece of the Empress Dowager, and the only son of the Wen family.

General Wen's family is full of loyalty, the old Duke is old, and all his descendants died in battle. The late emperor took pity on his hard work and meritorious deeds. In order to avoid extinct heirs, Wen Zhao was adopted under Mrs. Wen's name, and as the eldest son, he inherited the title of Duke of Zhen .

Wen Zhao was originally a descendant of a branch of the Wen family, and his relationship with Concubine Wen Shu was nothing more than a family brother. Apart from going to the ancestral hall to worship ancestors during festivals, he had no other contacts.

Wen Youzi's name should be derived from his "concurrently having two wives". He can not only enjoy the wealth that the Duke of Zhen worked so hard to earn, but also don't have to be an unfilial son who abandons his biological parents.Who would not be happy with the best of both worlds?
However, although Duke Zhen was old, he was still in good health. How could he pass away suddenly?

Rong Cen still remembered that the old man was only one step away from winning the prize when he participated in the hunting last year.

"Duke..."

She wanted to ask a question, but she only uttered two words, but Wen Zhao cut it off.

"The Duke of the country suddenly fell ill last night when he was ugly. He hurriedly called the imperial doctor who lived in the mansion. He said that the time limit was over and even if the gods came, there was no cure. The minister wanted to send someone to ask for help without telling the Duke of the country. The Empress Dowager and Concubine Wen Shu, but the Duke of the State knows better than anyone else that he holds his hand tightly so that no one will be alarmed."

Wen Zhao's voice was choked with sobs, and he pulled up his sleeve intentionally or unintentionally while speaking, exposing the part of his wrist that was clenched black and purple.

Rong Cen saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart, and didn't say much about his flawed words, but said: "My condolences."

Her indifferent appearance was obviously more warm-hearted, and the other party probably confirmed that the emperor would not interfere with the Wen family's affairs, so she said goodbye and prepared to leave.

"Then I won't disturb His Majesty's administration of government. I ask my father-in-law to inform the Empress Dowager and Concubine Wen Shu."

"Go."

Rong Cen lowered his head to review the memorial, and his tone of casual dismissal was no different from the "get out" he said when he chased away the stray dogs outside.

After the people left, she covered her face with her hands and mourned in silence for a long time.

The veteran of Dayin's state is gone.

In the past, the Dukes of the Five Kingdoms assisted the late emperors in governing the world, but in a blink of an eye there were only three left.

Fu Guogong was the regent when the first emperor was not in power. After retiring to the second line, he only went up to court and walked birds every day.Duke Xin was devoted to the mountains and forests, and Rong Cen had retired to seclusion the day he ascended the throne.Lord Bangguo is the oldest among the five kingdoms. Rong Cen understands that he gave him ten thousand hectares of fertile land to disarm and return to the field, but he is regarded by the other party as having exhausted his military power, so he betrays his faith and turns to the imperial concubine's camp.

The death of Lord Zhen Guo today will be a heavy blow to the Empress Dowager, and the situation in the court will also be turbulent.
-
Guangshou Palace.

The father-in-law who was born on the same day came to report, and the empress dowager passed out after hearing the message.

The imperial physician circled around a few times, but no one could see the reason.

It wasn't until Kong Lan took a bowl of pitch-black soup medicine and poured it down for the Empress Dowager together with Nanny Song, half a quarter of an hour passed before she woke up leisurely.

Outside the window, the golden light was sprinkled at dusk, shining goldenly, the Empress Dowager uncomfortably turned her head away, avoiding the pitiful eyes of the crowd who seemed to be looking at her.

It is the murderer who is hateful, not her, Wen's, who is pitiful.

The loyal family will never be pitiful.

The Empress Dowager caressed the cold hands of her grandniece by the bed, and patted them gently, "Don't be afraid, the sky won't fall. Even if it does fall, my aunt will carry it. Your Majesty is a wise monarch, and the Wen family will be fine." , and will not fall into the wrong hands.”

Rong Cen will not enter Guangshou Palace until dinner time.

It's not that she didn't want to come over to comfort the imperial grandmother as soon as possible, but she just felt that she should be given some time alone, so she forced herself to calmly review those difficult and difficult memorials, and then came here in a hurry.

"Grandmother, grandson is late."

The Empress Dowager was leaning halfway on the head of the pear flower wood bed, with a plain white forehead tied on her forehead, and a girl with her head bowed was sitting beside her. All the maids in the palace had changed into plain palace clothes.

"It's not too late, but you haven't had dinner yet? Let's use it here together. The Ai family has something to say to you."

There are no meat dishes on the table, the Empress Dowager has been a vegetarian all year round, not to mention the new funeral of the Duke.

"Grandmother, eat more and take good care of your body. The Wen family cannot live without you."

Rong Cen saw that she was much haggard, and felt even more sad. Apart from words of care, she couldn't do anything in a short time.

Although Wen Zhao is suspicious, he is the legal heir after all, and there is no reason to kill the Duke in advance.Even if there are clues left, it will definitely not point to him, it will only be misleading and lead everyone to misjudgment.

"The Ai family knows and will take care of your health. Yunqi, you are a good boy. At this critical juncture, the Wen family really cannot do without the Ai family. But the Ai family assures you that the Ai family will not use the Wen family to act, the regent It can only be the regent, and he will be just an idle prince when you take charge personally."

Rong Cen is reasonable, but there are some things that the Empress Dowager must say, no matter what, there should be no suspicion.

"The first emperor treated the Ai family's mother and son very well. If it weren't for him, there would be no way for the Ai family and your little uncle to survive. Don't worry, Yunqi, this world will always be yours, and no one can take it away."
