Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 73
"Young master, let's go back first. You don't need to say hello today, and you don't need to accompany you for dinner."

Chang De's tone was not a good thing. Song Yuan became nervous. She knew that she would not know the reason even if she asked, so she retreated tactfully: "Yes, please take a good rest, the emperor. Grandson will leave first."

She is very obedient, which makes Chang De like it. Seeing that she walked far away before going in, Emperor Taikang has already got up, sitting on the dragon couch in draped clothes, with a gloomy face.

"Gone? He didn't say anything?"

Chang De shook his head: "My lord didn't say anything."

Emperor Taikang's gloomy face didn't improve, Chang De saw this, and continued to say: "How can the young master know what the prince is thinking? Just now, the prince asked the young master to accompany him, saying that other things are not important."

Hearing this, Emperor Taikang's expression relaxed a bit: "They can't wait for something to happen to me."

Chang De didn't answer, and was about to ask Emperor Taikang to get up for dinner, when a servant came in from outside: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is suffering from the cold and is not feeling well."

Emperor Taikang looked over indifferently, and Chang De immediately understood: "Why don't you call the imperial physician quickly? Tell the emperor, do you want the emperor to worry?"

Chasing away the servants, Chang De carefully observed Emperor Taikang's expression, and then asked: "May I go and see? It's cold recently, and if you are not careful, you will catch the cold. The body and bones of the imperial concubine are always healthy. It’s not easy to seek medical advice.”

"Let that boy read the scriptures to me." Emperor Taikang said, but he didn't mention the illness of Concubine Xi, Chang De also understood, and hurriedly sent his servant to chase Song Yuan back.

In the Mingzhang Palace, it was learned that Concubine Xi was ill, and the prince and his wife entered the palace soon.

Concubine Xi, who was usually radiant and radiant, was lying sickly on the couch, without the golden hairpin and jade rings, she couldn't bear the passing of time, and she looked much older.

"My concubine is getting old, how can the servants not be dedicated?" The crown prince was full of worry and guilt, as well as asking the sinners.

Concubine Xi waved her hand: "As you get older, your body will become weaker. I only ate half an apple yesterday, but I had a stomachache at night. It happened two times more. After all, I am old, and I don't know how to return to it." How many days."

"Mother and concubine, don't say that." The prince couldn't help but feel sad: "Mother and concubine has a long life, so I have to watch my son ascend the throne and support my concubine to be the queen mother."

Concubine Xi smiled: "My son, you are so old, and your health has always been bad. I am worried day and night. Your father is strong and healthy. I am really afraid that you will not be able to survive him."

The prince's face became serious. Concubine Xi coughed a few times, and then she recovered and continued: "The king of Zhongshan has been practicing martial arts all year round, and he is physically strong. Even if you are enthroned, have you thought about how to deal with him? His children are all skilled. Well, if they rebel, can you control them?"

The two questions made the prince silent for a long time. He understood the gap between himself and King Zhongshan, and he knew that Emperor Taikang no longer favored King Zhongshan, which was the best opportunity for Donggong. Emperor Kang had no choice. Without King Zhongshan, he could use the concubine sons of the palace to make them join hands to deal with the two concubine sons. Without Song Chun and Song Run, the others were nothing worth mentioning.

However, how to get rid of King Zhongshan is really a problem.

"Son, although the emperor's attitude is very important, you can't sit still. Once the emperor controls Bintian, it will be too late for you to attack King Zhongshan."

After she reminded, the prince just nodded silently.

Concubine Xi was ill, so Song Yuan couldn't help but go to pay her respects, went over to sit for a while, chatted a few gossips, and when she came out, she ran into Mrs. Wei Tinghou who came to pay her respects.

To be honest, it was the first time she saw Mrs. Hou. She was in her 40s, tall, fair and dignified, and she had a vigorous personality at first glance.

Song Yuan nodded slightly, as a greeting to her, but Mrs. Hou stopped her: "Is there something important, Mr. Ninth?"

Song Yuan stopped and looked at her, she smiled slightly and said, "I have a few words that I want to talk to you in detail."

"Please speak, madam."

Mrs. Hou moved slightly, and waited for Song Yuan to come over before she spoke: "My son has been in the prison of Tingwei Mansion for so long, please give me some kind words, so that he can come out earlier."

"What's the meaning of Ma'am?" Song Yuan deliberately asked: "Liang Shizi offended the emperor, and the emperor also dealt with it according to the law. When to let him out, it should also depend on the intention of Lord Tingwei. How can I do it with a few good words?" Arrived?"

Mrs. Hou smiled: "Master, you don't want him to suffer in it, do you?"

Hearing what she said, the guess in Song Yuan's heart was already confirmed, but she didn't change her face, and she looked completely incomprehensible: "Madam's words are really ridiculous, even if Liang Shizi has a marriage contract with Zhaoning, it will become a marriage right away." My brother-in-law is dead, and it is impossible for me to offend the emperor because of him."

When she was disobedient, Mrs. Hou's expression became eccentric: "Young master, why are you so stingy? You can be so stingy in a mere marriage. Since ancient times, there have been many precedents of sisters serving a husband together, and it's not considered a serious thing. "

These words are really ugly, arrogant and stupid, and I don't know what Liang He told her in private to make her arrogant like this, if these words are spread, I'm afraid the Liang family will be in more trouble.

Song Yuan took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, his expression was flat, and he left without answering a word.

Wei Yan followed closely, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, why is Mrs. Hou looking for you?"

"She asked me to intercede with Liang He in front of the emperor."

Wei Yan was speechless: "What did she think?"

"Who knows?" Song Yuan folded his arms and went to the Taihua Hall. She asked for an order to leave the palace because she missed Xiao Shen. Emperor Taikang felt that she was useless, so he scolded her, and finally agreed .

After successfully leaving the palace, Song Yuan was in a good mood, and ran back to the palace, greeted the king and concubine Zhongshan first, and then ran into Xiaoshen's courtyard as if oiling the soles of his feet.

Xiao Shen has been waiting for a long time. Seeing that she has grown taller and gained a lot of weight, the heart that has been carrying her has been relieved. She pulled Song Yuan and asked, "Did you sleep well in the palace? Did you get caught in the palace?" Are you in trouble?"

"Mother, don't worry, everything is fine." Song Yuan didn't have time to talk to her, and dragged Xiao Shen into the house: "I'm going out for a while, and I hope my mother will cover it for me."

Seeing her picking up the crossbow hidden in her room, Xiao Shen's heart rose to her throat: "What are you doing?"

"Mother, there has been a lot of turmoil in Weitinghou's residence recently. I have always guessed that Liang He told Mrs. Hou my origin and identity. Today, my guess is confirmed. Therefore, I must not keep that woman." Song Yuan has already made up his mind to kill: "She is a woman in the inner house, and she rarely goes out. Today she enters the palace to pay her respects. This is the best time for me to do it."

Xiao Shen's expression froze, and she reminded her: "Don't just focus on killing one person, it's easy to attract suspicion."
